PORTO, Portugal, 19 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — El grupo portugués Rangel Logistics Solutions gana una nueva dimensión, empezando el año 2021 con la expansión de su estrategia de internacionalización a México. Con una inversión inicial de 750 000 €, ha abierto este mes una oficina en la Ciudad de México, ha contratado equipos y, en los próximos dos años, tiene prevista la apertura de tres oficinas más en este país.

La elección de México se ha impuesto como «el paso siguiente, tras la apertura de Brasil en 2013, para reforzar nuestra presencia en América Latina, debido a la dimensión y a la fuerza económica e industrial del país» – explica Nuno Rangel, CEO de Rangel Logistics Solutions.

En los servicios ofrecidos, la gran apuesta es la logística internacional, área en la que la empresa Rangel ya trabaja y en la que posee un gran conocimiento, y que puede ser el brazo logístico del comercio internacional de las empresas que quieran exportar o importar a México; pero pasa también por aprovechar oportunidades en los servicios de logística contractual, como, por ejemplo, en logística industrial, en el sector de la automoción y en otras industrias.

En este país, la estrategia ha sido identificar a los principales actores de mercado y establecer colaboraciones. Esto permite a Rangel presentar soluciones logísticas a los clientes y surgir como un interlocutor único que integra diversos operadores.

«Conscientes de que este es un país en el que el sector logístico registra una fuerte competencia, con la presencia de todos los grandes actores mundiales, nosotros tenemos la flexibilidad de un operador local, con capacidad de adaptación a las diferentes oportunidades de mercado. Tenemos confianza y, con el fuerte crecimiento de México y de toda América Latina, seremos cada vez más un importante operador logístico en el mercado ibérico. Al mismo tiempo, la crisis que se vive actualmente es una crisis que pone de relieve la necesidad de una transformación digital y esta es una de nuestras grandes apuestas», afirma Nuno Rangel.

Las perspectivas apuntan a una continuidad de la expansión a otros países ya en 2021, lo que otorgará una mayor dimensión a la marca Rangel, haciendo que esta sea, cada vez, sinónimo de un actor logístico global.

RANGEL LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS:

Fundada en 1980, Rangel Logistics Solutions cuenta con 2 100 colaboradores y, en 2020, ha registrado un volumen de facturación de 203 M€, dispone de 312 500 m2* de área logística y rápidamente consiguió una importante posición en el mercado.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — A poll released today aims to resolve the passionate controversy over Vice President-Elect Harris’ generational identity. Harris was born in 1964—a birth year in a fiercely-debated generational gray zone. The Generations Institute –which studies all the living U.S. generations – asked 1200 respondents born in 1964 to identify which generation they feel a part of. The clear majority indicated they feel part of the «lost» generation (aka Generation Jones) in-between the Boomers and Xers.

The debate has been strikingly robust. Publications ranging from Politico to Rolling Stone to Forbes have run long pieces looking at Harris’ generational identity. The Washington Post alone has run three separate pieces on this generational controversy. A flood of reader comments has inundated these publications as well as other online forums. Jim Davis, an internet forums expert, notes: «This debate about Kamala’s generational identity is one of the most surprisingly intense and acrimonius online controversies I’ve ever seen.»

Harris’ 1964 birth year is generationally ambiguous. The traditionally-defined birth years of the Baby Boom Generation are 1946 – 1964. While the Generation X birth years have been commonly 1965-1980, some believe it starts earlier. Meanwhile, many generational scholars increasingly argue there is a distinct generation (aka Generation Jones, born 1954-1965) in-between Boomers and X’ers.

The poll, which was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 1200 Americans on December 10-18, 2020, asked: «Do you consider yourself to be a member of the Baby Boom Generation, Generation X, or a generation in-between (commonly called Generation Jones)?» The results showed Americans born in 1964 overwhelmingly feel in-between Boomers and Xers: 61% chose Generation Jones, while 21% chose Generation X, and 18% selected the Boomer Generation.

Institute Director David Williams: «We’ve been quite struck by the ferocity of this debate; many people obviously have very strong feelings about this. The fact that such a large majority of respondents feel in-between Boom and X is persuasive, and is consistent with the emerging consensus among experts about the existence of Generation Jones. Part of the relevance of the debate centers on how Harris’ generational identity will impact the style and substance of her governing.»

Below is a small sampling of some of the articles which have helped fuel the controversy:

In a Forbes piece titled: «Kamala Harris: Boomer, Gen X Or Generation Jones?», Richard Eisenberg wrote: «As you can see, it’s possible to make a case that Kamala Harris could be described as either a boomer, a Gen Xer or a Generation Joneser.»

Jill Filipovic’s Medium essay titled «The Great Gen X vs. Boomer Debate Comes for Kamala» concludes: «Harris, I’m sorry to say, is a baby boomer.»
https://gen.medium.com/the-great-gen-x-vs-boomer-debate-comes-for-kamala-cef57a813128

Teresa Wiltz’s piece in Politico titled: «How Generation Jones shaped Kamala Harris» observes: «All this shapes Harris the politician, for good and for not-so-good. As a Generation Joneser, she’s the Jan Brady of American politics, the perpetual middle child, wondering why we can’t all get along.»
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/10/07/kamala-harris-generation-veep-debate-426994

Tim Dickinson’s essay in Rolling Stone, «Kamala Harris, Gen X’s Moment, and the Fall of House Boomer» suggests that: «Harris embodied a classic Gen X straddle»

Bonnie Greer’s piece «Kamala Harris is Pure GenJones» in The New European observes: «The exchange in that debate revealed a great deal about the two of them, and also underlined something about Harris: she is 100% ‘Generation Jones’.»

EL CAJON, Calif., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Today, Taylor Guitars is excited to broaden the presence of its popular new body shape — the Grand Theater. Two new premium-edition models — the rosewood and spruce GT 811e, which joins Taylor’s flagship 800 Series, and the all-koa GT K21e, a new voice within the Koa Series — will round out the GT lineup, joining the original, award-winning GT Urban Ash model that recently launched the new body shape in October 2020.

More and more players crave the comfort of smaller acoustic guitars but don’t want to sacrifice tone. This idea spurred Taylor master builder Andy Powers to design a new guitar that delivers on both fronts — combining the inviting playability of a compact instrument with the rich voice of a full-size, solid-wood guitar. The GT introduces a new category of acoustic guitar in size, feel and sound. Made in Taylor’s California factory, the GT’s uniquely modern proportions — both in body dimensions and scale length — sit between the size of Taylor’s compact GS Mini and its Grand Concert, the smallest of Taylor’s full-size body shapes. With its 24-1/8-inch scale length, it’s a guitar that’s fun and easy to play, with a surprisingly big sonic personality worthy of any pro player’s toolbox.

GT 811e

The GT 811e combines rich rosewood tone with the nimble handling and response of a small-body guitar, bringing a unique musical personality — one that sonically punches above its weight class — to Taylor’s popular 800 Series.

«You’ll hear that familiar spruce and rosewood flattop guitar sound, but with the GT’s fresh form and structure, the listening and playing experiences deliver a distinctly new dimension,» says Powers. «This model retains the slinky, ultra-easy handling and string feel, but the voice has been shaped into a denser, harmonically saturated sound. The top responds quickly to even the most delicate articulation, and it’s buoyed by the deep and supportive sound rosewood is known for.»

In addition to its solid Indian rosewood back and sides and solid Sitka spruce top, the new GT 811e features a Crelicam smoky ebony fretboard, mother-of-pearl «Element» inlays, an abalone rosette, maple binding with rosewood top purfling, a rosewood pickguard, gloss-finish (4.5-mil) body, Taylor Mini smoked nickel tuners, and onboard ES2 acoustic electronics. U.S. Street Price: $2,999

GT K21e

The all-koa GT K21e introduces a unique harmony of aesthetic beauty, playing comfort and sonic expression. The guitar’s svelte proportions, together with its light string tension profile, make the playing experience fast and fun.

«Tonally, this guitar is the perfect illustration of the midrange balance and sweetness koa is known for,» continued Powers. «It has a vibrantly focused sound, with a smoothly rounded attack. The balanced response is broadly useful for a player who will use it as a rhythm instrument and fingerstyle guitar, or an acoustic blues instrument.»

The GT K21e boasts solid, figured koa top, back and sides, with a shaded edgeburst around the entire guitar. Additional appointments include maple binding and top purfling, an elegant maple Spring Vine inlay scheme, full-gloss body, Gotoh Mini 510 tuners in antique gold, and ES2 electronics. U.S. Street Price: $4,699.

All GT models are voiced with Taylor’s new C-Class™ bracing architecture, a derivative of the company’s V-Class® bracing, and adapted in a way that accentuates the low end to give the small body a surprisingly warm and powerful bass response. Each GT guitar also includes Taylor’s lightweight yet super-sturdy AeroCase™ for the perfect balance of portability and protection.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In his memoir, Marques shares his experience as a survivor of coronavirus. After suffering from symptoms including chest pain and difficulty breathing, he tested positive and was diagnosed in March of 2020. Marques was hospitalized for one month in the intensive care unit (ICU) at the University of Chicago Medical Center with severe health complications, including 15 days under sedation on a ventilator. He also underwent two blood transfusions, endured internal bleeding, pneumonia, and a stroke. Blood clots in his left leg and his right hand ultimately led to a condition that was found to have a poor prognosis for recovery and associated with fatalities in other COVID-19 patients. After treatment, the doctors determined that it was necessary to amputate the fingertips of his right thumb and index finger.

Marques credits his fighting spirit and faith in God that helped him beat the odds and recover from the deadly virus with a greater sense of purpose. He wanted to share his journey to provide encouragement for others facing adversity, and as a reminder that it is possible to make it through even the darkest times. He is also participating in a medical study related to his specific case in order for doctors to learn how to better treat similar patients.

I Ain’t Done Living Yet is Marques’ remarkable story of survival from COVID-19. Marques tells how his faith along with that of his close friends and family members was tested during this difficult and uncertain time. He believes God had a purpose for him, putting him through this and other challenges throughout his life, including financial stress, homelessness, and a seven-year struggle to (ultimately) pass the Illinois bar exam and become an accomplished attorney.

Available in hardback or paperback versions, I Ain’t Done Living Yet: A Coronavirus Survivor Memoir can be purchased through http://www.iaintdonelivingyet.com and wherever books are sold, including Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

«Never could I have imagined that I would experience so many life-threatening battles and still be alive today to tell my story. I pray that my story and my testimony, chronicling the day-to-day events of what I went through to overcome and survive COVID-19, encourages you to see that there is life after the virus, and as with anything, you can fall down, make missteps and mistakes, yet still rise again and truly thrive, better than ever. Your past has given you the strength and the wisdom you have today, so celebrate it. Don’t let it haunt you,» Eason commented.
