Vision Films to Release Economic And Political Tour De Force ‘Hot Money’ from Susan Kucera, Jeff Bridges, Jim Swift and General Wesley Clark

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Vision Films Inc. («Vision») announces that immediately following the Clean Energy for America (CE4B) Inaugural Ball, the documentary Hot Money will be available on VOD and DVD in the U.S. and Canada.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Vision Films Inc. («Vision») announces that immediately following the Clean Energy for America (CE4B) Inaugural Ball, the documentary Hot Money will be available on VOD and DVD in the U.S. and Canada. Co-executive producers, Retired General Wesley Clark and Jeff Bridges virtually introduced the preview at the streamed inaugural event. Hot Money is from director and acclaimed filmmaker Susan Kucera, and co-executive producers Jim Swift, Bridges, and Clark.

The former NATO Commander, General Wesley Clark, and his son Wes Clark Jr, lead viewers on a prescient, candid and illustrative journey through the realities of the financial system and its profound exposure to climate change. What starts as a conversation between a father and son expands in scope until viewers understand how the global financial system functions, as well as how profoundly it is about to change. Experts in energy, economics, law, banking, and real estate both entertain and educate on the prime force driving our world: debt. The film concludes with the principal strategies we all can employ to avoid calamity.

Hot Money outs the whole game, the whole charade, the whole crapshoot of the money system with all the humor and intelligence of a New Yorker cartoon. Combined with the wisdom of international business experts and academics, Hot Money is rich with historical context. It severs the knot of economic and political forces that may lead to societal collapse.

Website-Trailer: www.hotmoneyfilm.com

Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films shares, «We are extremely proud to partner with this acclaimed team of filmmakers and experts. Our goal is to share this film with the widest audience possible, especially educators, activists, and lawmakers to impact change. The first step is understanding the interconnection between the economy and the environment, and  what we can do to mitigate the costs of disaster recovery. Hot Money is an essential and entertaining primer that demystifies the complexities of finance and government and how we as individuals, and as a collective society, contribute and yet can change the course.»

Director Susan Kucera says, «Hot Money is an important film for right now as America stands on the brink of conflict. Many people lack context interpreting the world and this documentary delivers it. Conversations taped more than a year ago about wildfires making homes impossible to insure and the ripple effect that will roar through the financial system seem as startlingly prescient as the scenes describing populist breakdown in a country like Venezuela and how it can happen here.»

Key cast include General Wesley Clark (decorated retired four-star Army General, former Supreme Allied Commander for NATO, Rhodes Scholar and International National Security and Energy Consultant), Wes Clark Jr (wind energy project manager, army veteran, environmental activist), Katharina Pistor (Professor of Comparative Law, Columbia Law School, Director of the Law School‘s Center on Global Legal Transformation, author of The Code of Capital), Susan Wachter (Professor of Real Estate and of Finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania), Servaas Storm (Professor of Economics at Delft University, Netherlands, on the Editorial Board and contributor to the Institute for New Economic Thinking). Also featured are Academy Award®-winning actor Jeff Bridges and the animated art of The New Yorker cartoonist Kaamran Hafeez.

Hot Money is available on all major streaming and cable platforms in the US and Canada, including: iTunes, Amazon, Hoopla, FandangoNow, GooglePlay, Vudu, Vimeo, and across hundreds of cable providers including Comcast, Spectrum, Charter, Cox, Dish, DirecTV and more. DVD retailers include Amazon and all other major online retailers.

U.S. Senate Candidate Khaled Salem Reveals Innovative Consumer Financial Protection Policy Based on Low Interest Loans

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Khaled Salem, the 2022 U.S. Senate candidate in New York, revealed an innovative consumer financial protection policy based on low interest loans.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Khaled Salem, the 2022 U.S. Senate candidate in New York, revealed an innovative consumer financial protection policy based on low interest loans. He urges President Biden and both houses of Congress to take up the idea, which involves extending debt consolidation loans to help families struggling with consumer debt to get back on their feet. Loans under the program envisioned by Salem could be up to $100,000.

«High consumer debt levels hold everyone back,» Salem explained. «It’s not just the people who have the debt who are in trouble. It’s also all the businesses they can’t support because they have no ability to spend. This program gives people a way to get on top of their debt and the ability to pay it off in a reasonable and fair way. Businesses have this option, but not consumers. We can change this and make a real difference in people’s lives as well as in the broader economy.»

As Salem sees it, facilitating low interest debt consolidation is a true win-win for everyone. The borrower gets a workable plan to get out of debt. The lender can recapture their loan principal and reduce their default risk exposure. Consumer-facing businesses will also benefit, as their customers will start buying again.

The proposed loan program does not have to cost the government very much money, either. It can be established through private banks, but with some government guarantees, interest rate subsidies and controls. «This should pay for itself easily,» Salem added. «The increase in tax revenue from rising consumer demand should offset the government investment in subsidizing low interest rate loans from banks.»

Salem also encouraged the new administration to issue an order to American embassies to stop discriminating against dual American citizens. According to Salem, «This problem falls into the category of behavior that is not supposed to be happening, but everyone knows is happening—what you might call an ‘open secret,’ and it needs to stop. President Biden can quietly request a State Department Inspector General investigation into the matter, and it would end very quickly.»

Then, pivoting to an issue that inflames the passions of New Yorkers perhaps more than any domestic or foreign policy for the USA, Salem offered a vision for better parking in New York city. The plan, the specifics of which shall be forthcoming, will make it easier to park in the city. Vehicle owners will have to worry less about getting tickets and all the constant hustling involved in finding a parking space.

Salem, who has lived for many years in Brooklyn, is known as a staunch defender of human and religious rights for Americans, both at home and abroad. He advocates for the release of American detainees in the Arab world and elsewhere. He also plans to introduce legislation to make immigration laws less restrictive.

Other key policy positions include:

  • 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.

Salem 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.

PALM CITY, Fla., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The three county Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA Metropolitan Area ranked #1 as the strongest local economy in the United States in POLICOM’s annual community «economic strength» rankings. 

The Bozeman, MT Micropolitan Area (Gallatin County) for the third straight year was ranked #1 among the Micropolitan Areas, which are smaller economies.

Annually, POLICOM ranks the 384 Metropolitan Statistical Areas and 543 Micropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States for «economic strength» which is the long-term tendency for an area to consistently grow in both size and quality.

For the economic strength rankings for all 927 areas along with their geographic definition, go to www.policom.com.

«The top rated areas have had rapid, consistent growth in both size and quality for an extended period of time,» William H. Fruth, President of POLICOM.  POLICOM, located in Palm City, FL, specializes in analyzing local and state economies and advising communities on how to improve them. 

«The rankings do not reflect the latest ‘hotspot’ or ‘boom town,’ but the areas which have the best economic foundation,» Fruth continued.

The study measures twenty-three different economic factors over a twenty-year period. The formulas determine how an economy has behaved over an extended period of time. 

Data stretching from 2000 to 2019 (latest available) was used for this study. It does not include the impact of COVID-19 on the economy in 2020. POLICOM has created this study each year since 1997.

Defined by the Federal government, a Metropolitan area must be at least one county and have a city with a population of at least 50,000. Most are composed of multiple counties.

Micropolitan areas are smaller areas, must have at least one county, and have an urban center of at least 10,000 but fewer than 50,000 people.

Statistical areas are composed of one or more counties but are «named» after the largest city or cities in the area.

Xponential Fitness Lands Three Brands on Entrepreneur’s 2021 Franchise 500®

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — 2020 did not hold back the brands of Xponential Fitness, the largest curator of premium boutique fitness brands across eight different verticals. Three of the company’s brands – <a target="_blank"…

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — 2020 did not hold back the brands of Xponential Fitness, the largest curator of premium boutique fitness brands across eight different verticals. Three of the company’s brands – Club Pilates, Pure Barre and CycleBar – landed a spot in Entrepreneur magazine’s coveted 2021 Franchise 500 list as a result of another year of impressive unit growth, financial strength and stability and brand power. Club Pilates was ranked 104; Pure Barre was ranked 119, up from its previous spot of 300; and CycleBar landed at 351, up 128 spots from last year.

«The strong showing on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 across these three Xponential Fitness brands demonstrates that boutique fitness is here to stay and the best is yet to come,» said Sarah Luna, President of Xponential Fitness. «Our members love the world-class workouts and unmatched sense of community we provide, whether that’s inside our studios or virtually, and these rankings are a testament to our franchise owners’ passion, commitment and hard work day in and day out, especially given the challenges 2020 presented them.»

In Entrepreneur’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company’s 42-year-old ranking formula continues to evolve as well. The key factors that go into the evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.

While some fitness brands struggled to find their footing following the onset of the pandemic and other challenges that arose in 2020, Xponential Fitness proved to be a beacon of resilience and creativity in the industry. When adversity struck, franchise owners were empowered to pivot by offering outdoor and virtual workouts, with some brands even renting out equipment to keep members healthy and engaged. The company’s strategies have proven effective as it has retained more than 86% of members across all eight brands, which also include YogaSix, Row House, StretchLab, AKT, and STRIDE. 

Xponential Fitness also saw extensive growth over the past year, signing numerous franchise deals and opening new locations around the world, even at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. Notably, the company opened five brands in Saudi Arabia, including Club Pilates, Pure Barre, AKT, YogaSix, and CycleBar locations, as well as the first of many CycleBar studios in Australia. Exciting new franchise agreements signed will also bring Xponential studios to Germany, Singapore, Spain and the Dominican Republic.

Beyond the in-studio experience in 2020, Xponential debuted online workouts across all of its brands last year through its proprietary streaming platform called GO, bringing premium classes directly to consumers’ homes.

To view Pure Barre, Club Pilates and CycleBar in the full ranking, visit www.entrepreneur.com/franchise500. Results can also be seen in the January/February 2021 issue of Entrepreneur, available on newsstands January 26. For more information about all Xponential Fitness brands, visit www.xponential.com.

Orbital Energy Group’s Subsidiary, Orbital Solar Services, Partners with Black Sunrise Half Century Fund and Akon Lighting America as exclusive EPC for North American Solar Projects

HOUSTON, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Orbital Energy Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: OEG), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orbital Solar Services («OSS»), a leader in utility-scale solar power generation facilities, has been named the engineering, procurement, and construction («EPC») company «of choice» for the newly-formed Black Sunrise Half Century Fund.

HOUSTON, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Orbital Energy Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: OEG), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Orbital Solar Services («OSS»), a leader in utility-scale solar power generation facilities, has been named the engineering, procurement, and construction («EPC») company «of choice» for the newly-formed Black Sunrise Half Century Fund.

As announced by Akon last Wednesday at President Biden’s «Clean Energy for America» Inaugural Ball (Clean Energy Ball), OSS is partnering with  Akon, Akon Lighting America (Akon Lighting), and the Black Sunrise Half Century Fund to decommission coal-fired power plants throughout the United States and convert them into utility-scale solar energy farms. OSS is responsible for providing full EPC services for these solar facilities, beginning in the second quarter of 2021.

The Black Sunrise Fund («BSF» or the «Fund») was created in conjunction with Akon Lighting America, a leading developer of clean energy projects across the globe, to bring large scale solar power to North America by remediating now redundant coal facilities and converting the site into a utility scale solar farm, producing clean energy. Over the next three years, BSF expects to build over 1 gigawatt of solar power with a beginning investment of $725 million.

In selecting OSS and Orbital Energy Group as its EPC company of choice, BSF considered OSS’s technical, innovation and support capabilities. This includes OSS’s proven track record of success in executing over 40 solar projects in excess of 600 megawatts, with more than 50 years combined experience in the delivery and management of both commercial and renewable energy construction projects.

OSS’s CEO, Brandon Martin, stated, «We are now entering a new age of solar development in our nation. Through this partnership with the Black Sunrise Fund and Akon Lighting America, we are committed to fostering greater diversity within the industry, ensuring that people of color and minority-run businesses have ample opportunities to join in this expansion.»

Jim O’Neil, Orbital Energy Group’s Vice-Chairman & CEO, commented, «We are proud to be a part of this exciting new venture. This type of socially responsible and environmentally friendly enterprise proves that corporate America can ‘do well by doing good.’ These utility-scale projects, along with planned follow-on developments will enhance our presence in the renewable/alternative energy marketplace well into 2021 and beyond.»

Mr. O’Neil added, «As part of diversifying into an energy infrastructure service provider, one of our priorities is to elevate our environmental, social and governance efforts. Bringing greater diversity and opportunities to under-represented minorities in this industry is a key part of this strategy. This undertaking is exactly the type of program that can radically change the energy industry for the better and we are grateful to be a part of it.»

Akon announced the collaboration between OSS, BSF, and Akon Lighting America during his opening remarks at the «Clean Energy for America» Inaugural Ball in Washington, DC, last Wednesday following the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris.  A video of those remarks can be accessed through the ‘News’ page of the Orbital Energy website at www.orbitalenergygroup.com. 

Commenting on the announcement, Akon stated, «This joint venture between Orbital Solar and the Black Sunrise Fund is the first of many energy projects that will systemically change energy infrastructure in North America – opening up significant opportunities for black entrepreneurs and black-owned companies throughout the industry. It furthers my commitment to diversify this industry while increasing the opportunities and quality of life for people in need around the world. I look forward to working with Brandon Martin, his team, and the entire Orbital Energy Group to change the face of energy management, infrastructure, production, and delivery throughout the nation.»

Boom Lifts Account for Nearly 50% Aerial Work Platform Revenues: Fact.MR

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Award winning market research company Fact.MR’s recently published aerial work platforms market projects a substantial increase in 2021 over 2020, as the world recovers from the pandemic crisis, leading to a reinvigoration of the construction industry.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Award winning market research company Fact.MR’s recently published aerial work platforms market projects a substantial increase in 2021 over 2020, as the world recovers from the pandemic crisis, leading to a reinvigoration of the construction industry. A stable CAGR is likely for the next 10 years, representing a positive growth outlook.

FactMR Logo

As per Fact.MR’s projections, over half of the global aerial work platforms revenue is expected to be generated by boom lifts. Applications have increased in the wake of rapid infrastructure development such as power and telephone lines, with current projections estimating a valuation of nearly US$ 3 trillion by 2021-end. Hence, manufacturers are investing in intensive research and development programs to dole out new product lines equipped with precision-based solutions.

Furthermore, vendors are increasingly targeting investments across the Asia-Pacific, specifically in the East Asian landscape. China promises to be the most lucrative market, fueled by rising government initiatives to bolster the domestic construction industry. Since May 2020, the local governments across provinces have issued bonds worth US$ 150 billion, surpassing the earlier US$ 101 billion mark in January last year. Opportunities are also expected to abound in India, with the industry likely to rebound at over 11% by 2021-end.

«Burgeoning safety concerns during construction activities has generated increased demand for robust equipment, thus heightening expansion prospects for aerial work platforms in upcoming years. The market is interspersed with several technological breakthroughs aimed at achieving precision in operations,» remarks the Fact.MR analyst.

Key Takeaways from Fact.MR’s Aerial Work Platforms Study

  • By product type, scissor lifts to enjoy substantial market share, attributed to longer lifespans and quiet working environment
  • Construction industry to remain primary end-use segment, mining and agriculture to emerge as some of the other application areas
  • U.S likely to account for nearly two-fifths of the revenue share by 2021
  • U.K to experience modest Y-o-Y growth, attributed to declining construction output by over a third due to the pandemic crisis
  • Stimuli packages unfurled by governments to render French and German markets stable
  • Immense growth opportunities likely to present themselves in the Chinese, Japanese and Korean markets

Competitive Landscape

Prominent players profiled in Fact.MR’s aerial work platforms report include Haulotte Group, Tadano Limited, MEC Aerial Work Platforms, Oshkosh Corporation, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co. Ltd., Linamar Corporation, Palfinger AG and Terex Corporation among others.

The aforementioned players are capitalizing on a booming construction and infrastructure market across the Asia Pacific, more specially in China.

Manufacturers are also emphasizing on restructuring of company operations to widen their outreach. In October 2020, Tadano Group announced the restructuring of its subsidies- Tadano Demag GmbH and Tadano Faun GmbH- with the objective of becoming a global leader in the lifting equipment industry. The intention is to introduce a new line of crawler cranes to its existing product line-up.

Applications have increased in the wake of rapid infrastructure development such as power and telephone lines, with current projections estimating a valuation of nearly US$ 3 trillion by 2021-end. Hence, manufacturers are investing in intensive research and development programs to dole out new product lines equipped with precision-based solutions.

Furthermore, vendors are increasingly targeting investments across the Asia-Pacific, specifically in the East Asian landscape. China promises to be the most lucrative market, fueled by rising government initiatives to bolster the domestic construction industry. Since May 2020, the local governments across provinces have issued bonds worth US$ 150 billion, surpassing the earlier US$ 101 billion mark in January last year. Opportunities are also expected to abound in India, with the industry likely to rebound at over 11% by 2021-end.

«Burgeoning safety concerns during construction activities has generated increased demand for robust equipment, thus heightening expansion prospects for aerial work platforms in upcoming years. The market is interspersed with several technological breakthroughs aimed at achieving precision in operations,» remarks the Fact.MR analyst.

Alberto Bazbaz Sacal realiza una donación para fomentar el aprendizaje financiero en la juventud mexicana

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO, 25 de enero de 2021  /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El exprofesor universitario y especialista en inteligencia financiera Alberto Bazbaz Sacal ha realizado una importante donación a la Fundación EDUCA México, una organización que empodera a los…

CIUDAD DE MÉXICO, 25 de enero de 2021  /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El exprofesor universitario y especialista en inteligencia financiera Alberto Bazbaz Sacal ha realizado una importante donación a la Fundación EDUCA México, una organización que empodera a los niños de bajos recursos con refuerzo positivo y educación. Alberto Bazbaz Sacal es un experto en tecnología financiera y ex presidente de GALIFAT. 

EDUCA fue fundada en 1995 para contribuir a la educación de jóvenes de escasos recursos. EDUCA se implementa en más de una docena de escuelas en 6 estados de México. La organización benéfica ayuda a casi 3.300 niños cada año a luchar por el éxito y a tener acceso a una mejor educación.

«El acceso a una educación de calidad es una causa muy cercana para mi corazón», dijo Alberto Bazbaz Sacal. «El buen trabajo y las oportunidades que la organización EDUCA brinda a los jóvenes de bajos ingresos en este país es extraordinario. Me complace ayudar en todo lo que pueda para apoyar esta causa y aumentar la confianza de los niños que luchan por prosperar en el sistema educativo».

La organización enseña a los niños a creer en sí mismos y a desarrollar sus talentos naturales. El programa se enfoca en los muchos beneficios de ser emprendedor y la importancia de la perseverancia. 

Según la UNICEF, más de 4.5 millones de niños y adolescentes viven en la pobreza en México. Estas cifras deprimentes tienen consecuencias a largo plazo, tanto para el país como para el resto del mundo. 

Las instituciones bancarias en México no están diseñadas para ayudar a quienes se encuentran en las categorías socioeconómicas más bajas. Menos de la mitad de todos los mexicanos incluso tienen una cuenta bancaria. No solo es difícil acceder a estos servicios para quienes no viven en un área urbana, sino que generalmente se excluye a quienes no tienen ingresos suficientes. Las organizaciones como EDUCA apoyan a las poblaciones de difícil acceso que normalmente no tendrían acceso a los recursos necesarios para lograr el éxito. 

La donación del Sr. Sacal se destinará a aumentar la disponibilidad de clases de EDUCA que ayudarán a los estudiantes a aprovechar estas herramientas más adelante en la vida. Para combatir la falta de inclusión financiera y la estructura bancaria excluyente en todo el país, las clases de EDUCA se están poniendo más amplias a disposición de las escuelas mexicanas. Es un paso hacia la búsqueda de una solución a las consecuencias más amplias de la brecha económica y su efecto sobre la calidad de la educación.

Alberto Bazbaz Sacal Makes Donation To Encourage Financial Learning In Mexican Youth

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Former university professor and financial intelligence specialist Alberto Bazbaz Sacal has made a sizable donation to Fundacion EDUCA Mexico, an organization that empowers low-income children with positive reinforcement and education. Alberto Bazbaz Sacal is a fintech expert and the former President of GALIFAT.

EDUCA was founded in 1995 to contribute to the education of young people with limited resources. EDUCA is implemented in more than a dozen schools in 6 states throughout Mexico. The charity helps nearly 3,300 children each year to strive for greatness and access better education.

«Access to quality education is a cause that is very near and dear to my heart,» Alberto Bazbaz Sacal said. «The good work and opportunities that the EDUCA organization provides low-income youth in this country is extraordinary. I am happy to help in any way that I can to support this cause and boost the confidence of children struggling to thrive in the education system.»

The organization teaches children to believe in themselves and to develop their natural talents. The program focuses on the many benefits of being a self-starter and the importance of perseverance.

According to UNICEF, more than 4.5 million children and adolescents live in poverty in Mexico. These dismal numbers have long-term consequences, both for the country and the wider world. Banking institutions in Mexico are not designed to help those in the lowest socioeconomic categories. Less than half of all Mexicans even have a bank account. Not only is it difficult to access services for those who don’t live in an urban area, but those without sufficient income are generally excluded. Organizations like EDUCA support the hard to reach populations who typically would not have access to the resources required to build success.

Mr. Sacal’s donation will go towards increasing the availability of EDUCA classes that help students leverage their assets later on in life. To combat the lack of financial inclusion and incohesive banking structure throughout the country, EDUCA classes are being made more widely available to Mexican schools. It is one-step towards finding a solution to the broader consequences of the economic divide and its effect on the quality of education.
