New Conservative Textbook Program by the S.A.P.I.E.N.T. Being

CORONA, Calif., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — For too long, conservatives have failed to pass on their sapient values to the next generation. To correct this travesty, the SAPIENT Being’s World of Writing Warriors (WOWW) Program, utilizing 50 essential textbooks for the 2020 decade covering the most contentious and critical MADNESS topics, is publishing their first five textbooks this year, with titles as follows:

CORONA, Calif., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — For too long, conservatives have failed to pass on their sapient values to the next generation. To correct this travesty, the SAPIENT Being’s World of Writing Warriors (WOWW) Program, utilizing 50 essential textbooks for the 2020 decade covering the most contentious and critical MADNESS topics, is publishing their first five textbooks this year, with titles as follows:

  • Fake News Madness: A SAPIENT Being’s Guide to Spotting Fake News Media and How to Help Fight and Eliminate It.
  • Crime Rate Madness: A SAPIENT Being’s Guide to the Color of Crime, Antifa, BLM, SPLC & OSF Impacts on Criminal Justice.
  • Voting Madness: A SAPIENT Being’s Guide to Revealing How Seriously the Democratic Party is Stealing Elections.
  • Trump Madness: A SAPIENT Being’s Guide to Why Fighting Politics as Usual Can Cure Governing Madness.
  • Free Speech Madness: A SAPIENT Being’s Guide to Detecting Free Speech Suppression and How to Fight and Eliminate It.

The SAPIENT Being believes the future is not yet written. It’s up to us—you and me—to save America one mind at a time.

Intellectual humility, viewpoint diversity, freedom of speech, and a strong and maturing self that is always a work in progress; these are the necessary ingredients for a free society, shared progress, and becoming a sapient being.

Many Americans hope that as young people mature, they will inevitably come to the realization that radical groups, socialist programs, and Marxist ideas hurt those they claim to help—that history proves time and again. Sadly—this is no longer happening due to the overwhelming liberal influence and leftist bias in the classroom, the curriculum, and academia.

Also, as noted by Dennis Prager at Prager U, the left-wing propaganda machine continues well past high school and college graduation. Social and mainstream media censorship, progressivism’s cancel culture, and outright threats toward conservatives make it hard for young people to break free of the «woke mob.»

If we don’t act now, it’s only a matter of time before the mob’s oppressive and dysfunctional policies overtake all of America. If sapience doesn’t prevail and prevent this from happening—our liberties, institutions, and way of life are at risk of being lost forever.

The SAPIENT Being, along with other like-minded organizations who understand the many blessings to humankind that are the direct result of American exceptionalism, Western European culture, and Judeo-Christian values—will not stand idly for this happen.

As Dennis Prager alarmingly states, «I refuse to be forever labeled as the generation that lost America.»

At the SAPIENT Being, we hope you agree with this proclamation, and help us double our efforts—no, triple them—by using and implementing these textbooks where possible. Armed with facts, the truth, and wisdom from here on out—we can commit to educating our youth with unequalled sapience and altruistic principles for the long haul.

EIB, a strategic partner for Vulog’s latest funding

Three years after announcing a $20 million USD financing round, Vulog has raised another $31 million USD from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and its current investors.

Multiplying successful operations across the globe

Vulog has established itself as the preferred technology partner for large mobility players, whether they are OEMs, insurance providers, rental operators, or energy companies. The upward trend is set to continue for the company in 2021. Eight new mobility projects are set to launch in the first three months of the year, including an exciting new mobility service expected to launch soon in New York City.

Vulog provides the answers for a transforming mobility market

As a backdrop to this financing announcement, the increasing public awareness of the current climate emergency highlights the need for the public and private sectors to rapidly deploy mobility solutions that are green and inclusive.

Vulog’s platform has evolved from a carsharing platform to an all-encompassing ecosystem of tools covering all on-demand mobility needs, no matter the vehicle type (cars, bikes, scooters, mopeds, vans, etc.), target market (B2C and B2B) or use case (instant access, scheduled booking, subscription, or monthly mobility plan).

«We are very happy to announce additional financing coming from both the EIB and our existing investors,» said Gregory Ducongé, Vulog’s CEO. «This new support from the EIB confirms its confidence in Vulog’s important role in the transformation of mobility on a global scale. Our mission is clear: reduce the number of individually-owned vehicles in cities. To accomplish this, we deliver tech solutions that act as the backbone of market offerings that are green, convenient, and economical for individuals and organizations. We also provide a robust suite of operational tools, most of which are either AI-driven or rely on smart workflows to guide consumer-facing companies towards optimized and profitable operations.»

A word from Vulog’s investors

«We’re thrilled to continue supporting Vulog, and this latest round of financing will enable the company to continue its market leadership in the shared mobility space. The company’s ongoing success with mobility operators and automotive OEMs is a testament to its positive impact on the future of sustainable mobility.»
Fabrice Bienfait, Partner, ETF Partners

«It has never been more critical for fleet owners and operators to modernise and adapt, with the future of transportation being increasingly driven by smart and flexible mobility services. Vulog technology is at the forefront of this revolution, with mobility operators benefiting greatly from their powerful scalable platform and team expertise. We are excited by what the future holds for Vulog, as they are perfectly positioned in this global and thriving market.»
Ivo Němejc, Investment Director and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, Inven Capital

«This latest round of funding is proof of our dedicated support to companies whose objectives are based on implementing concrete actions to reduce our carbon footprint, specifically those belonging to industries that yield high CO2 missions such as transportation. We are convinced that a change in this regard cannot happen without innovative technology which is key to the fight against climate change. This is why we continue to support Vulog – a true French Tech gem – who is a leader when it comes to sustainability. We share the same goals and vision of a future where shared, electric, and multimodal mobility is the norm.»
Gilles Schang, Deputy Managing Director Echotechnology, BpiFrance

«The automotive industry is in the middle of a monumental transition from manufacturing fossil-fuelled cars to providing mobility services of electric vehicles,» said Mike Reid, Senior Partner at Frog Capital. «Vulog is at the absolute centre of this change, now a scale player relied upon by a growing list of the industry’s largest players that already includes Volkswagen, Stellantis, Kia, and more to be announced soon. With a Vulog-enabled vehicle being used every 2 seconds, Vulog’s AI platform is the B2B market leader and on track to becoming a world force in mobility while contributing towards making the planet a greener place for future generations. This is why we’re so proud to support companies like Vulog who are making a very positive impact on the world!»

Miami/Fort Lauderdale Selected as Pilot Market for American Dream 2021: Showcase of Smart Homes

MIAMI, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — House X today announced Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as one of the 21 Pilot Markets to…

MIAMI, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — House X today announced Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as one of the 21 Pilot Markets to launch the American Dream 2021, expanding home ownership; featuring over 40,000 new, healthier, energy-efficient homes across the country valued at over $18 billion with up to $364 million in stimulus by providing home buyers free renewable energy and a discounted mortgage.

The virtual home buying event is limited to selected markets in the United States — admission is free to consumers. Free stimulus incentives apply to all contracts executed from Jan. 27-April 15, 2021, for registered home buyers.

The Miami/Fort Lauderdale Pilot includes:

  • Over 1,950 new homes in over 147 communities with 110 homes ready for quick move-in
  • Renewable electricity at zero cost to registered home buyers
  • 1% discounted mortgage for the first 12 months, followed by either 14 or 29 years of fixed-rate record-low mortgage rate on FDA conforming loans
  • Local Impact:
    • Potential reduction in carbon emissions — equivalent of removing 4,290 gas-powered cars off the road per year
    • Potential free stimulus for renewable energy = $17.55 million going back into the local economy

Experts Available for Interview:

  • House X: William Farrell, President
  • Delos: Paul Scialla, CEO and Founder
  • RESNET: Ryan Meres, Program Director 
  • The MReport: Rachel Williams

WHY: The purpose of the event is to expand home ownership by educating consumers on the advantages of smart, healthier, sustainable homes that are more efficient, lower carbon footprint and less expensive to own, operate, protect and maintain — lowering total cost of ownership. The home is more important than ever since the onset of the pandemic and the trend was a highlight at CES with smart home technology with a focus on hygiene, cleanliness, energy-efficiency and sustainability.

HOW:

  • The Smart Mortgage™: House X has partnered with a leading mortgage lender to create a special below-market mortgage; a one percent discounted mortgage for the first 12 months of a 15- or 30-year fixed rate conforming mortgage.
  • The Healthier Home: In collaboration with Delos, every home buyer will receive a multi-room advanced air purification system for their new home upon move-in, helping reduce particles that carry airborne bacteria, viruses and allergens.
  • The Location Report™: Nothing will impact the financial picture of a home as much as its location. With custom insights available nowhere else, the House X Location Report reveals 300+ insights about any address in America. It is free to registered home shoppers.
  • The RESNET Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the nationally recognized system for inspecting and calculating a home’s energy performance. Similar to a MPG sticker for cars, except for new homes.

WHEN: American Dream 2021 Pilot Program will include free stimulus incentives on fully executed purchase contracts between Jan. 27-April 15, 2021.

WHERE: American Dream 2021 is limited to home purchases in selected pilot cities available on HouseX.com.
