PLANO, Texas, Nov. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Toyota’s best-selling vehicle in America was recognized by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) at the annual Texas Truck Rodeo event. The 2021 RAV4 TRD Off-Road was named Compact SUV of Texas for the second consecutive year.

«It’s great the media members of TAWA recognized the RAV4 TRD Off-Road’s ability to help people find their adventures on and off road,» said Cynthia Tenhouse, vice-president, Vehicle Marketing and Communications for Toyota. 

One of the newest members of the TRD family, the RAV4 TRD Off-Road offers impressive off-road capability with the comfort, style and safety RAV4 is known for in segment. With the RAV4’s first-ever TRD-stamped stainless-steel front skid-plate, the 2021 model benefits from increased resistance against debris found on or off the road. Other key off-road features of the vehicle include matte-black TRD alloy wheels and TRD-tuned suspension engineered to enhance body control and small-bump isolation. The vehicle’s Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail all-terrain tires use a unique tread pattern and compound developed to TRD technical requirements, and their rugged, square-shoulder design helps protect against punctures.

Additionally, the 2021 RAV4 TRD Off-Road offers drivers the ability to take more adventure equipment along, towing up to 3,500 pounds. The vehicle’s interior offers striking red stitching and red trim to further enhance the TRD Off-Road model’s cabin. As the fifth generation of the best-selling SUV in the U.S., the 2021 RAV4 TRD Off-Road is both a segment leader and segment disruptor. 

This year’s Texas Truck Rodeo brought together 27 journalists to evaluate 39 trucks and SUVs on an off-roading course in the Texas Hill Country. Vehicles from the world’s top manufacturers were evaluated on interior, exterior, value, performance and personal appeal. The RAV4 TRD Off-Road ran the rugged course, leaving its competitors trailing in the competition. Additionally, Toyota’s 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro, the 2021 Toyota Tundra Trail Special Edition and the 2021 Toyota Tacoma Trail Special Edition were recognized as finalists in each of their categories. 

TAWA is a Texas-based nonprofit association for automotive journalists promoting professionalism and quality in journalism for more than two decades. TAWA has grown to become one of the most influential and recognized automotive journalist associates in the U.S. The group produces two annual events – Texas Auto Roundup and Texas Truck Rodeo – that allow members to experience vehicles from various manufacturers in one place, at one time.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hilco Global (www.hilcoglobal.com), the world’s preeminent authority on asset valuation, monetization, and advisory services, announced today that it has donated an additional $50,000 to the All Stars Project in Chicago. The donation is part of an ongoing company program called Hilco Helps, Hilco Global’s philanthropic arm that supports its corporate and employee commitment to various causes, often focused on children and education. Over the years, Hilco Helps has actively worked with several Chicago-area organizations such as Youth Guidance, Cradles to Crayons, Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Public Library, Community Colleges of Chicago, and All Stars Project providing critical support to help those that need it most.

The Hilco Global donation represents the company’s continued commitment to provide support to the under-served, at-risk youth in Chicago. Hilco Global has been a supporter of All Stars Project nationally for over five years, and specifically in Chicago, in supporting the organization through financial donations, summer internship programs, and employee participation in development workshops and programs.  The All Stars Project provides important Afterschool Development programs for the young people in the South and West sides of Chicago who have been hardest hit by violence. During this unprecedented time of social distancing and virtual learning, the All Stars Project has needed to pivot and develop new pathways to remotely reach the youth of Chicago in order to keep the young people engaged and on the path to improving their futures. 

«Hilco Global has been and continues to be an incredible partner for the All Stars, and we are very grateful for the many ways they support young people in need across our city and region,» explained David Cherry, City Leader of the All Stars Project of Chicago.  «Hilco Global’s donation in support of our increased virtual programming is helping us meet a vital need during this unprecedented time.  Their commitment to the All Stars is deep and passionate; we see that first-hand whenever Jeff Hecktman and his team meets and works with youth from our programs – Hilco is truly assisting us in our work to address poverty and create new experiences and opportunities for everyone we serve.»

Jeffrey B. Hecktman, CEO and Founder of Hilco Global said, «The work that the All Stars Project does for the youth of Chicago is so important and aligns with our corporate philanthropic mission to bring opportunities to at-risk students and giving them the tools necessary to succeed.»  Mr. Hecktman continues, «Now more than ever, the All Stars Project needs our help. We felt it imperative that we continue to focus on giving back and supporting the phenomenal work that the All Stars Project is doing in finding new ways of engaging poverty, inequality and social justice through its Afterschool Development programs and bringing together diverse Americans to help our country to grow. «

The Hilco Global donation comes at a critical time. When the pandemic hit, The All Stars Project needed to re-plan their programming for 2020 which included having to purchase new digital tools so that they could continue their important mission of reaching the young people it serves. The funding helped launch a brand-new four-week virtual program over the summer for 155 Development School for Youth graduates which included national workshops, watercooler conversations, one-on-one development coaching and stipends of $440 for the students involved in the program. Because the summer program was such a success, this fall the program was expanded to six weeks and includes over 250 young people as well as  hundreds of All Stars Project alumni, ensuring that the organization continues its mission of transforming the lives of youth and poor communities using the developmental power of performance, in partnership with caring adults.

About Hilco Global: Hilco Global (www.hilcoglobal.com) is a privately held diversified financial services company and the world’s preeminent authority on maximizing the value of assets for both healthy and distressed companies.  Hilco Global operates as a holding company comprised of over twenty specialized business units that work to help companies understand the value of their assets and then monetize that value.  Hilco Global has over a 30-year track record of acting as an advisor, agent, investor and/or principal in any transaction.  Hilco Global works to deliver the best possible result by aligning interests with clients and providing them strategic insight, advice, and, in many instances, the capital required to complete the deal.  Hilco Global is based in Northbrook, Illinois and has 625 professionals operating on five continents.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —  The Postal Service plans for peak season all year. And while customers may not think about the holidays until the season is upon them, it’s important to know how to properly ship all the gifts on your list. Simple planning will help prevent injuries to Postal Service employees and customers. It will also help keep packages from being returned to sender if the contents are not allowed to be mailed, or the packages don’t follow size and weight requirements.

Shipping Restrictions
There are guidelines to keep certain hazardous, restricted and perishable items out of the mail — both domestically and internationally. The regulations on shipping eligible hazardous, restricted or perishable items safely through the Postal Service can be found in Publication 52, – Hazardous, Restricted and Perishable Mail. Of course, you can always check with your local Post Office location for more information.

At the most basic level, there are items you can’t send through the mail. Prohibited items include, but are not limited to:

• Liquor
• Ammunition
• Explosives
• Mercury (including items which contain mercury such as thermometers)
• Gasoline

There are also restricted items which have specific guidelines to follow if you plan to send them through the mail. The list below is not comprehensive, and customers are advised to check Publication 52, or their local Post Office, for a complete list:

• Alcohol (any kind, including hand sanitizer)
• Perfumes/colognes (they are generally made with alcohol)
• Aerosols
• Lithium metal batteries (non-rechargeable/rechargeable, used to power flashlights or laptops)

Reusing Boxes? Maybe That’s Not the Best Idea
It’s suggested to never reuse boxes as they can weaken in the shipping process. But if you decide to reuse, make sure any labels or markings are removed or completely covered over, especially if the box you choose to reuse has labels or markings associated with hazardous, prohibited or restricted materials.

Package Size and Weight Requirements
Did you know that there are size and weight restrictions for packages sent through the Postal Service? The price you pay to ship items depends on the shape and weight of your package.

In some cases, oddly shaped packages, such as tubes, are charged a higher price because those pieces must be processed manually.

Packages sent within the United States can’t weigh more than 70 pounds and can’t measure more than 108 inches total in length and around the widest part of the package. If you are sending items internationally or to APO, FPO, and DPO locations, lower maximum weight or size standards may be applied and the weight varies based on the destination country. More information and specific restrictions for APO, FPO, and DPO can be found on our website. International restriction information can also be found on our international page.

All packages must be large enough to hold the required delivery and return addresses, mailing labels and postage on the outside of the package.

Regardless of the contents, mail and packages weighing more than 10 ounces and/or are more than a half-inch thick cannot be dropped into a collection box or left for a carrier to pick up if you’re using stamps for postage. Instead, take them to a retail associate at your local Post Office. And NEVER over pack a box, which can cause the sides or the seams to bulge or break, as well as cause injury to postal employees.

Avoid shipping issues by using the FREE Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express boxes available at your local Post Office, or order them online at usps.com. There are no extra markings to worry about covering up, the larger sizes can hold up to 70 pounds, and there are no odd shapes. Plus, you can ship for one flat rate, with tracking and basic insurance included (with some restrictions).

Additional holiday news and information, including all domestic, international and military mailing and shipping deadlines, can be found at the Postal Service Holiday Newsroom.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

Until then I always had an engine that propelled me forward, seeking to achieve that precious thing I wanted. But when I believed I was about to achieve it, I would walk away. I thought I should do better, and I planned that; and of course, I did not count on the fate that caused unexpected turns.

But thanks to these, today I have a story to tell that without the slightest doubt will capture your own imagination, so I invite you to join me and live it again. The result was worth it.»
