LONDON, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — During the 2021 budget address, Prime Minister Timothy Harris revealed how St Kitts and Nevis’ Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme supported the nation over the last year. According to PM Harris, the Programme has been a significant contributor to the nation’s economy. This has ensured that revenue generated under the Programme was channelled into boosting national development and protecting its citizens during the pandemic crisis. This included Sylvia Garnette Primary Health Care Facility’s commissioning, St Peter’s Health Centre’s ongoing construction, and the Poverty Alleviation Programme’s expansion.

Introduced in 1984, St Kitts and Nevis’ CBI Programme enables foreign investors and their families to become citizens once contributing to its Sustainable Growth Fund – the fastest and most secure route to second citizenship. After passing the necessary vetting procedures, successful applicants gain access to life-changing benefits, including increased travel freedom to nearly 160 countries and territories and the right to live and work in a thriving nation.

With nearly four decades of experience within the industry, St Kitts and Nevis’ CBI is considered a ‘Platinum Standard’ brand within the industry and continues to maintain its popularity amongst foreign investors: «Despite some setbacks related to the pandemic, the volume of applications for the year so far has improved. Applications have come from all over the world, including the USA, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. We have become the preferred choice of the discerning investor owing to our high quality of life index, the strength of our passport and the recognition of the St Kitts and Nevis’ CBI Programme as the Platinum Brand. Our CBI Programme continues to be ranked as one of the best in the industry.»

The dual-island nation has also continued to adapt its CBI Programme to the market’s needs by introducing a limited time offer for families of up to four and siblings’ inclusion in an application. Prime Minister Harris has also announced that the legislative framework would continue to be strengthened in several ways for the next three years.

El Príncipe Mohammed bin Salman anuncia THE LINE en NEOM

Una revolución para la vida urbana

Una revolución para la vida urbana

–  Libres de autos y calles, los residentes tendrán la naturaleza y todo lo que necesitan a diario a cinco minutos de distancia a pie

–  Creará 380.000 empleos del futuro y contribuirá USD 48.000 millones al PIB de Arabia Saudita para 2030

–  Desarrollo lineal de 170 kilómetros de comunidades hiper conectadas y operadas con IA y utilizan energía 100% limpia

RIYADH, Arabia Saudí, 10 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Su Alteza Real Mohammed bin Salman, Príncipe heredero y Presidente del Directorio de la Compañía NEOM, anunció hoy THE LINE, una revolución para la vida urbana en NEOM, y un modelo de cómo las personas y el planeta pueden coexistir en armonía.

THE LINE, una franja de 170 km de comunidades hiper conectadas del futuro , sin autos ni caminos y construida alrededor de la naturaleza, es una respuesta directa a algunos de los  desafíos más urgentes que enfrenta hoy la humanidad, como la infraestructura preexistente, la polución, el tránsito y la congestión humana.

Una piedra angular de la Visión Saudita 2030 y un motor económico para el Reino, impulsará la diversificación y aspira a contribuir 380.000 empleos del futuro y USD 48.000 millones al PIB de Arabia Saudita para 2030.

Su Alteza Real dijo: «A lo largo de la historia, las ciudades fueron construidas para proteger a sus ciudadanos. Luego de la Revolución Industrial, las ciudades priorizaron máquinas, autos y fábricas por encima de las personas. En las ciudades que se consideran las más avanzadas del mundo, la gente pasa años de su vida desplazándose. Para 2050, la duración de los viajes diarios dentro de una ciudad se duplicará. Para 2050, mil millones de personas se verán desplazadas debido al aumento de las emisiones de CO2 y los niveles del mar. El 90% de la gente respira aire contaminado. ¿Por qué deberíamos sacrificar la naturaleza en aras del desarrollo? ¿Por qué 7 millones de personas deberían morir todos los años debido a la contaminación? ¿Por qué deberíamos perder un millón de personas cada año a causa de accidentes de tránsito? ¿Y por qué deberíamos aceptar perder años de nuestras en viajes diarios al trabajo?».

«Por lo tanto, necesitamos transformar el concepto de una ciudad convencional en el de una futurista», agregó Su Alteza Real. «Hoy, como Presidente del Directorio de NEOM, les presento «THE LINE». Una ciudad de un millón de residentes con una longitud de 170 km que preserva 95% de la naturaleza dentro de NEOM, con cero autos, cero calles y cero emisiones de carbono».

THE LINE representa la primera vez en 150 años que un desarrollo urbano de gran envergadura ha sido diseñado en función de las personas, no de las calles. La facilidad para caminar definirá la vida en THE LINE; todos los servicios diarios esenciales, como escuelas, clínicas médicas y espacios de esparcimiento, así como espacios verdes, estarán a cinco minutos de distancia a pie.

Medios de transporte de ultra alta velocidad y soluciones de movilidad autónoma facilitarán los viajes y les darán a los residentes la oportunidad de recuperar tiempo para dedicarlo a la salud y el bienestar. Se prevé que ningún viaje demandará más de 20 minutos.

Las comunidades de THE LINE serán cognitivas, impulsadas por Inteligencia Artificial (IA), aprenderán de forma continua formas de facilitar la vida, y crearán tiempo tanto para residentes como para compañías. Se estima que 90% de los datos disponibles serán aprovechados para fortalecer capacidades de infraestructura mucho más allá del 1% que suele ser utilizado en las ciudades inteligentes actuales.

Redefiniendo la sustentabilidad, THE LINE incluirá desarrollos urbanos carbono-positivos que funcionarán con energía 100% limpia, brindándoles a los residentes medio ambientes sin polución, más saludables y sustentables. Se construirán comunidades de uso mixto alrededor de la naturaleza, en lugar de sobre ella.

Los sectores del futuro de NEOM, encabezados por líderes globales en sus industrias, ya están abordando algunos de los desafíos más urgentes del mundo. Están siendo pioneros de un nuevo mercado para avanzadas innovaciones y creando oportunidades para atraer profesionales destacados, inversionistas y socios para que integren su ecosistema de negocios.

La construcción de THE LINE comenzará en el primer trimestre de 2021. THE LINE es uno de los proyectos de infraestructura más complejos y desafiantes del mundo y forma parte de un extenso trabajo de desarrollo que ya está en marcha en NEOM.

NEOM es parte del portafolio diversificado de primer nivel internacional del Fondo de Inversión Pública de Arabia Saudita, uno de los mayores fondos de riqueza soberana del mundo.

Sobre NEOM

NEOM es un acelerador de progreso humano y una visión de cómo podría lucir un Nuevo Futuro. Es una región en el noroeste de Arabia Saudita sobre el Mar Rojo, que se está construyendo de cero como un laboratorio viviente; un lugar donde los emprendedores trazarán el camino de este Nuevo Futuro. Será un destino y un hogar para personas que sueñan a lo grande y quieren ser parte de un nuevo modelo de habitabilidad excepcional, creando compañías prósperas y reinventando la conservación del medioambiente.

NEOM será el hogar y el lugar de trabajo de más de un millón de residentes que llegarán de todo el mundo. Incluirá pueblos y ciudades, puertos y zonas empresariales, centros de investigación, espacios para deportes y entretenimientos, y destinos turísticos. Al ser un centro para la innovación, emprendedores, líderes de negocios y empresas vendrán para investigar, incubar y comercializar nuevas tecnologías y empresas de formas innovadoras. Los residentes de NEOM encarnarán un ethos internacional y adoptarán una cultura de exploración, toma de riesgo y diversidad; todo respaldado por una ley progresiva compatible con normas internacionales y propicia para el crecimiento económico.

City Council Dist 3 Candidate Robby Hill Unveils Plan to Combat City’s Violent Crime Problem

FLORENCE, S.C., Jan. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Florence County has a population of over 100,000 MORE residents than the City of Florence yet the rate of violent crime occurring in the City and the County is almost identical year over year.

FLORENCE, S.C., Jan. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Florence County has a population of over 100,000 MORE residents than the City of Florence yet the rate of violent crime occurring in the City and the County is almost identical year over year. It is clear our City faces a violent crime problem. The old ways are not working – something new must be attempted to break the vicious cycle of senseless violent crime.

Hill has stated: «Since crime knows no boundaries; the City and the County must finally break down the long-held institutional silos and effectively work together to combat the City’s crime challenges head on. Finally, the City of Florence needs to implement a true community policing program led by a new Community Law Enforcement Council to rebuild trust between police and the people they serve and protect.»

This comprehensive violent crime prevention plan is the product of information received from many current and retired law enforcement professionals consulted by the Hill Campaign. The design of it was led by longtime advisor former DCSO Captain Kaynerra Capers. Mr. Capers stated, «The police officers of the City of Florence, under this plan, will get to know their designated community and create and maintain positive relationships in order to better serve. We envision a force that is proactive in policing methods that are demonstrated to work to combat violent crime in our community.»

  • Establish a joint law enforcement fusion center as an effort between Florence Police Department & Florence County Sheriff’s Office to share data, monitor cameras and other information sources collaboratively
  • Implement a joint drug/gang task force with Florence Police Department, Florence County Sheriff’s Office, SLED, and Federal Agencies
  • Install facial recognition technology on all cameras while also deploying additional cameras across the City & granting Fusion Center access to existing cameras
  • Enhance mutual aid agreements with Florence County Sheriff’s Office to allow FPD to have provisional jurisdiction in the problematic ‘donut holes’ that allow criminals to hide from FPD in land and buildings that lay just outside the City limits
  • Organize joint training exercises and programs between FPD and FCSO to encourage a strong working relationship between the agencies & lower costs
  • Improve & invest in proven community policing strategies including an expanded citizen’s police academy, community law enforcement advisory boards, and faith based community outreach & programs

NUEVA YORK, 08 January 2021

NUEVA YORK, 08 January 2021 / PRN Africa / — A partir de enero de 2020, la ONU emprendió la tarea sin precedentes de preguntarle a más de 1,5 millones de personas en 193 países sus esperanzas y temores sobre el futuro, así como sus ideas con respecto a la cooperación internacional y a las Naciones Unidas en particular.

Este ejercicio, que tuvo un giro frente a la realidad marcada por la pandemia y agregó las prioridades de la gente de cara a la recuperación de la crisis del COVID-19, mostró que, no obstante la devastación, el avance del cambio climático y la incertidumbre que sufre el mundo, existe gran optimismo sobre lo que la humanidad puede lograr si actúa unida.

La consulta global ONU75 indicó que el 97% de los participantes apoyan la cooperación internacional para afrontar los retos y amenazas que se ciernen sobre el mundo.

A la altura de las circunstancias

Al divulgarse este viernes los resultados de la encuesta, el Secretario General de la ONU subrayó el espíritu de colaboración manifiesto y lanzó a los integrantes de la Organización el desafío de estar a la altura de las circunstancias.

“Esto representa un compromiso muy sólido con el multilateralismo y la misión de las Naciones Unidas. Ahora depende de nosotros -los Estados miembros y el Secretariado de la ONU- estar a la altura de las expectativas de la gente que servimos”, puntualizó António Guterres.

En vista del retroceso en el nivel de desarrollo humano y la agudización de la desigualdad evidenciadas por la pandemia, el primer asunto de atención inmediata debe ser el acceso generalizado a los servicios básicos y el apoyo de a las comunidades más golpeadas por la pandemia.

Mayor optimismo en medio del conflicto

El sondeo reveló que los habitantes de los países de bajo índice de desarrollo humano, al igual que los que viven en escenarios de conflicto, tienden a ser más optimistas sobre el futuro.

A nivel global, el 49% de la gente respondió que el mundo será mejor en 2045 que hoy, mientras que el 32% piensa que será peor. África Subsahariana fue la región más optimista con una visión positiva del 59% de los encuestados mientras que América Latina y el Caribe, junto con Oceanía y la Antártida fueron las más pesimistas, con 48% y 47%, respectivamente.

Otro hallazgo fue la identificación del cambio climático y los asuntos ambientales como el mayor desafío mundial a largo plazo. En ese renglón, los participantes abogaron por una mayor protección del medio ambiente, con América Latina a la cabeza de esa preocupación.

Las oportunidades de empleo son otra de las grandes preocupaciones a largo plazo de la gente, al igual que son el respeto a los derechos humanos y la reducción de los conflictos. El orden de estas inquietudes varía según el nivel de ingreso de los participantes.

En cuanto a la cooperación internacional, el 97% cree que es importante para abordar los grandes problemas, con variaciones según la región. América del Norte es la región que más la favorece.

ATLANTA, Jan. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The new 2021 Ford Bronco Sport has arrived in the Atlanta area and is now available for guests to test drive at the Akins Ford dealership in Winder, Ga.

The dealership welcomed some of its first new Bronco Sport SUVs to its inventory in late December as part of a hoard of new arrivals from the 2021 model-year Ford lineup.

The all-new Bronco Sport is engineered to venture the great outdoors with standard 4×4, up to seven available G.O.A.T. Modes™ and a high-performance off-road stability suspension.

A safari-style roof contributes to the Bronco Sport’s adventurous silhouette while treating occupants to best-in-class first- and second-row headroom. The high-roof design also gives the cargo area more height to accommodate gear with enough space for two standing mountain bikes.

The rugged Bronco Sport Badlands™ model is the most off-road-capable variant with standard with 28.5-inch all-terrain tires that boost it to 8.8 inches of ground clearance and 23.6 inches of water-fording capability.

«The Silver&Fit program launched its Fit at Home™ free senior workouts on Facebook Live and YouTube back in March, when gyms were first closing due to COVID-19,» said Jaynie Bjornaraa, PhD., MPH, PT, and AVP of Digital Fitness Solutions with the Silver&Fit program. «Today, with at-home restrictions still in place around the country due to the pandemic, we believe that offering our followers and members an international experience with their online workouts helps to motivate them and expand their horizons. We know that a sense of exploration can help reduce feelings of depression and isolation in older adults.»

Through the licensing arrangement with American Specialty Health Fitness, Fit Bodies, Inc. is hosting six «International Location» Silver&Fit classes a week, led by certified fitness instructors at all-inclusive resort locations across the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and Asia Pacific.

«Imagine taking a virtual yoga class on a warm, sunny beach in Mexico or the Dominican Republic,» added Dr. Bjornaraa. «Through our Fit Bodies, Inc. arrangement, we’re able to whisk our Facebook and YouTube followers away to a resort, park, or other exotic location where they can participate in Cardio, Yoga, Strength & Bodyweight, Flexibility & Balance, or Mixed Format types of classes.»

«Fit Bodies, Inc. has been bridging the fitness gap at luxury resorts for 30 years, so what better way to bring an international flair and gorgeous settings to Silver&Fit’s many fitness class followers,» said Suzelle Snowden, owner and CEO of Fit Bodies, Inc. «Through our agreement with ASH Fitness, we can share the beauty of resort locations to a growing senior population while helping them stay healthy and fit at home.» Snowden created Fit Bodies, Inc. and the Teaching Vacation Program over 30 years ago to offer quality programming to resort guests all over the world while they vacation at luxury resorts.
