NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Speleologist Vincenzo Albertini is President of the Naples Underground Association and an archaeological specialist. He has dedicated his life’s work to discovering and beautifying this historic marvel of a city so that millions around the world can enjoy this well-buried slice of Neapolitan history and life, even today.

The geological marvel that is Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea) carries within it, the crossing of many worlds, but most notably, there exist two underworlds that offer unique insight into the magical history of the landscape as well as the cultural steeping of the Napoli identity.

In one of the underworlds, further into the sub-surface of the unique Neapolitan yellow tuff, one can discover an architecturally complex development of reservoirs. Tracing back to the entry of the Romans in the Augustan age, an extensive water network, with a large number of reservoirs, was built under the city of Naples. These wells and reservoirs were maintained in the Middle Ages and through to the nineteenth century. However, under the life and city-swelling up above, they also began to bury the dead beneath the surface. It was towards the end of the nineteenth century, that the cholera epidemic forced Neapolitans to abandon this intricate water system, which now leaves today, over 14 thousand wells and about a thousand entrances to the underground city.

Also underneath the famous city, there is another Napoli underworld: an underground network of about 2 million square meters amongst which one can find quite an assortment of galleries, caves, places of worship, and mysterious monuments as well as a collection of innumerable skulls. The Naples built by the Greeks and Romans ended up underground, as it was used in the Second World War to shelter women and children from the bombings, and was also well known by the old cigarette smugglers and criminals. Many may not know that this city underground is as big as a third of the surface city. However, those who know best would say that there is still a lot to explore, and taking a meander without expert guides is not recommended.

Today, one can meander through the guided tour by a member of Albertini’s expert team, and can still find many treasures such as toys, furnishings, and furniture that many had brought from their home. There is also a «room of the spouses» which was where weddings could be celebrated during the bombings of world war II, and it was also the point from which it was possible to leave.

These underworlds along with many other historical monuments, all collide within this world under a city called Naples underground (Napoli Sotterranea) – a rich capsule in life before we know it, yet still resonating through the Napoli culture even today.

8 Year Stock Market-Beating Strategy Given Away for Free by Liberated Stock Trader

MUNICH, Germany, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The LST Beat the Market strategy has outperformed the S&P 500 index by 102%, with a total return of 408% since 2013.

MUNICH, Germany, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The LST Beat the Market strategy has outperformed the S&P 500 index by 102%, with a total return of 408% since 2013.

Outperforming the S&P 500 benchmark is the goal of active fund managers, but 78% failed to achieve it over the last five years.*

«I have been inspired by the work of Joel Greenblatt and William J. O’Neil. But these strategies need something extra,» said Barry D. Moore, Founder of LiberatedStockTrader.com. «Screening for companies with increasing Cash Flow and Earnings Growth is a well-established best practice. Combined with Earnings Yield and Return on Capital, you have a foundation of financially stable growth stocks.»

«The strategy adds a new twist by selecting companies that have beaten the S&P 500 in the trailing 12 months.»

The goal was to create a simple strategy to make yearly profits that exceed the S&P 500’s returns.

The LST Beat the Market strategy has successfully outperformed the S&P 500 in 7 of the last 8 years: providing a total return of 408% versus the S&P 500’s 152%.

The strategy is suitable for individual investors because it selects only 15 to 40 stocks per year.

If the system is so successful, why share it with others?

The strategy could be used to establish a fund, but I would rather simply partner with Stock Rover, a leading stock screening software company. I chose Stock Rover because they have the only stock screening software that can handle the calculations and backtesting required to prove the strategy.

How Can You Try the LST Beat the Market Strategy?

Liberated Stock Trader has partnered exclusively with Stock Rover, a company with $6 billion in client assets managed, to provide the LST Beat the Market strategy for free to their clients.

TULSA, Okla., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) highlights several ways its community can address climate change in an update and expansion to its official position about it released today.

SEG, the premier global professional society for applied geophysics, supports its stakeholders in academia, government, and industry who seek to achieve net-zero CO2 emissions. SEG’s statement emphasizes the essential roles geophysicists play in carbon sequestration, monitoring of large ice masses, exploration for minerals used in wind and solar energy systems, geothermal energy exploration, and water-resources management in the position statement posted on its website and forthcoming in the March issue of The Leading Edge.

«Preservation of our planet and contribution to society are among SEG strategic pillars of our geophysical community’s engagement with the world,» said SEG President Maurice Nessim. «We bring a unique perspective to the conversation. Our relevance and leadership are elevated as we amplify our focus on critical energy and environmental challenges.»

SEG has joined nearly 200 other scientific societies worldwide and the U.S. National Academies of Science in affirming the position of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that has concluded that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are extremely likely to be the dominant cause of observed climate warming since 1950.

SEG’s position, replacing a briefer and less-specific statement issued in 2017, is supported by citations to seminal works as well as recent studies in climate science. The statement affirms the Society’s support for members engaged in geophysical research, publication, and open dialog on climate change and its impacts.

The statement was developed by a Climate Change Task Force led by John Bradford, an SEG past president, along with David Lumley and Maria Angela Capello, current SEG Board of Directors members. Bradford is Vice President for Global Initiatives and Professor of Geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines. Lumley is a Professor, Cecil and Ida Green Endowed Chair in Geophysics, and Director of the Seismic Imaging and Inversion Lab at the University of Texas at Dallas. Cav. Capello is a distinguished geophysicist with extensive industry and professional-society experience and is the lead author of the «Geophysical Sustainability Atlas: Mapping geophysics to the UN Sustainable Development Goals,» which appeared in the January 2021 issue of SEG’s publication The Leading Edge.

The SEG Board adopted the position statement in a unanimous vote during its January 2021 meeting.

The statement is available on SEG’s website at https://seg.org/About-SEG/Climate-Change

About SEG
The Society of Exploration Geophysicists is committed to connecting and inspiring the people and science of geophysics. With more than 13,000 members in 116 countries, SEG provides educational and technical resources to the global geosciences community through publications, books, events, forums, professional development courses, young professional programs, and more. Founded in 1930, SEG fosters the expert and ethical practice of geophysics in the exploration and development of natural resources, characterization of near surface, and mitigation of earth hazards.

Survey Finds that Most Americans are Not Completely Satisfied with Their Current Auto Service Provider

KENNESAW, Ga., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — UpSwell, a marketing firm that specializes in helping local businesses expand their customer base, today announced the findings of their recent auto service consumer survey.

KENNESAW, Ga., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — UpSwell, a marketing firm that specializes in helping local businesses expand their customer base, today announced the findings of their recent auto service consumer survey. The survey provides key insights into consumer attitudes and behavior when it comes to selecting an auto service provider, including the fact that most consumers are not always happy with their provider.

«Only 34 percent of consumers are always satisfied with their auto service provider,» said Nelson Rodenmayer, SVP of Sales and Marketing at UpSwell. «That means that 66 percent of consumers are potentially open to going somewhere else. We want to help auto shop owners tap into that 66 percent market share and get more customers into their shop.»

When it comes to what constitutes good auto service, 78 percent of respondents believe that fair prices equate to good auto service, which won out against good communication, honesty, timeliness, and respect. Another finding worth noting are the top three most enticing offers identified in the survey: free tire rotation with oil change, discounted oil change, and a loyalty program.

The survey also found that 36 percent of respondents get their car serviced two times per year. However, the older the respondent, the more likely they were to get their car serviced more often. Another interesting finding that varied by age was where respondents prefer to get their vehicle repairs. Respondents between the ages of 25 – 29 preferred to go to a national repair chain more than any of the older age groups. This could be a result of young Millennials’ reliance on researching companies before using them, giving providers with a stronger online presence an advantage.

However, overall, the findings were most favorable for local repair shops, as 52 percent of people surveyed prefer to get their vehicle repairs done at a local shop while 35 percent prefer a dealer/brand specialist and 10 percent prefer national chains. This is in line with the push we have seen in recent years to support local businesses as well as the fact that consumer trust is often higher in local businesses than it is in national chains.

Another interesting finding was that the majority, 57 percent, of respondents get their tires from a tire dealer, while 37 percent get their tires from an auto shop. While this is good news for tire shops it can also provide motivation for auto shops to bring tire sales in house to create a more seamless customer experience and increase their sales.

The consumer auto service survey was conducted in January 2021 and included 1,071 vehicle owners in the United States, aged 25-54. For the full survey results reach out to grow@upswellmarketing.com.

U.S. Senate Candidate Khaled Salem Urges United Nations to Propose Measures Against Royal Families in Middle East

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Khaled Salem, looking to unseat Chuck Schumer in the U.S. Senate race in 2022, today appealed to the United Nations to eliminate immunity for the Arab monarchies.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Khaled Salem, looking to unseat Chuck Schumer in the U.S. Senate race in 2022, today appealed to the United Nations to eliminate immunity for the Arab monarchies. Khaled calls on the revered body of international law to rescind immunity to prosecution and allow a person or organization the right to sue ruling Arab princes and kings for crimes against citizens, groups and even their own family members.

«I put Arab Gulf states on notice,» said Khaled. «Rulers and those under their command must end brutal and overt racism against immigrant workers. There has long been a pattern of treating workers from all parts of Asia and Africa as less-than-human. That is to say, ruling families look upon non-Arab workers as human garbage whom they treat like slaves. This has to end. The United Nations must intervene and address the plight of people who come to the Middle East for an opportunity to make a living.»

As Khaled noted, immigrants in the Middle East just want to work and send money home to their families without being starved, beaten, molested or killed. As he put it, «All of these horrors have been allowed to go on for too long and the United Nations must stop these rulers from committing heinous crimes as though they were stepping on insects.»

Khaled also stressed, «The Gulf States in particular have a free hand in their countries where, except for the ruling class and those given respect and the latitude to come and go in the business community, the working class have no rights and live like animals. The human rights issues are a very serious matter.»

In addition, Khaled calls on the Gulf States to normalize relations with Israel for the sake of peace. He added, «An alliance must be maintained against the barbaric Iranian influence in the Middle East

Khaled is asking the United States Department of State to start, as soon as possible, to make the place of birth optional on U.S. passports to protect dual citizens abroad from discrimination in most international Airports around the world.

Khaled reiterated his other key policy positions, including:

  • Tourist visas to the US must require travel medical insurance for entry.
  • Laws and procedures to reduce domestic violence nationwide.
  • A reduction in U.S. military activity and presence in the Middle East.
  • A policy that requires these regions pay for American military services.
  • The establishment of a home loan program for middle class single parents.
    Free university education for American students.

Khaled is running in the next general election, scheduled for November 8, 2022. Thirty-four of the Senate’s 100 seats are being contested in these elections.

Volta Industries Welcomes Google Executive Bonita Stewart to Board of Directors

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Volta Industries, Inc. (Volta), an industry leader in commerce-centric electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, announced today that Bonita C. Stewart, Vice President of Global Partnerships at Google Inc., is joining their Board of Directors.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Volta Industries, Inc. (Volta), an industry leader in commerce-centric electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, announced today that Bonita C. Stewart, Vice President of Global Partnerships at Google Inc., is joining their Board of Directors.

Ms. Stewart brings Volta more than three decades’ experience leading multi-billion dollar operations, accelerating digital technology adoption and driving business transformation for major corporations in the IT, automotive and technology fields. As a former executive at DaimlerChrysler AG (now Daimler AG), she developed strategy and oversaw all interactive communications for the Chrysler Group brands and led innovative online initiatives to enhance consumer experience. In her current role as VP of Global Partnerships at Google, Ms. Stewart directs strategy, revenue and partner management for the largest U.S. publishers across search, mobile applications, commerce, news, broadcast, telecommunications and domains.

«Bonita’s leadership and expertise is a key addition to our Board,» said Chris Wendel, Co-Founder and President of Volta. «Bonita made an indelible mark on Chrysler by identifying disruptive technologies and bringing them into the industry at the outset. By learning to leverage these technologies and eventually becoming a market leader on digital technology adoption, Bonita had a transformational impact on the consumer experience across the automotive industry. Her perspective on Volta’s Board will be invaluable, particularly as we accelerate our expansion and reach.»

Unique to the EV market, Volta’s business model centers around evolving spending habits caused by the move to electric vehicles by building a charging infrastructure that reinforces desired behaviors at each location. Volta’s charging stations feature large eye-catching digital displays that function as a sophisticated media network, providing brands a way to reach shoppers moments before they enter a store. These sponsor-supported charging stations provide energy to customers who are able to plug in their vehicles where and when they shop. Volta’s business partners who choose to have Volta charging stations installed report an increase in spend, dwell time and engagement on site. Currently located in 23 states and over 200 municipalities, Volta’s approach has gained significant acceptance and penetration in the market. 

«The transition away from gas to providing clean energy is consumer-centric and has a broader, climate-focused mission. I’m excited to join Volta as it helps anchor this transformational change,» said Ms. Stewart. «Volta’s model of charging your car where you already are is how the re-imagined fueling infrastructure should be built. Combining that infrastructure with programmatic advertising changes the model of how consumers fuel, disrupts the industry and provides great convenience for consumers.»

About Volta
For over a decade, Volta has been building a nationwide electric vehicle charging network to drive the world forward. Named after Alessandro Volta, the inventor of the electric battery, Volta’s award-winning charging stations benefit brands, consumers, and real-estate locations by providing valuable advertising space to businesses and free charging to drivers. Strategically located in places where consumers already spend their time and money, Volta’s chargers are among the most used electric vehicle charging stations in the United States.  Headquartered in San Francisco, Volta is bringing to communities the means of building a sustainable fueling network for the 21st century.
