ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world based on global retail sales, is proud to announce that its corporate and franchise-owned stores across the country joined forces to raise a recording-breaking $13 million to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2020.

The campaign follows the commitment Domino’s made in September 2020 to raise $100 million by 2030. As customers and team members were raising funds for a strong first year of the new commitment, preparations began to start construction on The Domino’s Village, a brand new patient housing facility for St. Jude families to call home while their children receive lifesaving care for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. The Domino’s Village is expected to open its doors in spring 2023. To hear from patient families on the impact of housing at St. Jude, watch this brand-new video on The Domino’s Village: http://bit.ly/The-Dominos-Village.

More than $10.2 million of the funds came from generous donors during the annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving^® campaign. The campaign, which ran for 11 weeks starting on Oct. 19, 2020, through Jan. 3, 2021, was the 17th consecutive St. Jude Thanks and Giving. Domino’s has participated in the campaign since the inaugural year. Prior to the 2020 campaign, Domino’s offered the opportunity for customers to round up their order total and donate the change to benefit St. Jude. This year, the round up totaled more than $2.8 million.

«During a particularly challenging year, I am in awe of the generosity of our brand’s customers during the annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign,» said Ritch Allison, Domino’s CEO. «The record number of funds raised in stores this year speaks volumes about not only the dedication of Domino’s team members and customers, but also the groundbreaking work done by St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.»

Domino’s $100 million pledge is the largest corporate commitment in the history of St. Jude. The Domino’s Village will be a home away from home for patient families who are referred to St. Jude from all over the world, offering them enjoyable living, dining and play spaces.

St. Jude treats children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases around the globe. Discoveries made at St. Jude are shared freely so every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists can use that knowledge to save thousands more children around the world. In addition to housing and food, St. Jude offers an on-site education and numerous other services for patients and their families, who never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a parent should worry about is helping their child live.

LONDON and BURLINGAME, Calif., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Volta Trucks, the full-electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, has selected Proterra, a leading innovator in commercial vehicle electrification technology, as the battery supplier for the Volta Zero. The Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built, full-electric 16-tonne commercial vehicle designed specifically for inner city freight distribution.

This significant contract completes Volta Trucks’s strategic sourcing of the electric powertrain. Volta Zero vehicles are scheduled to start customer trials later in 2021, with tens of thousands of trucks expected on the roads soon after series production starts around 12 months later.

The Proterra-supplied battery will give the Volta Zero a real-world range of 200kms on a single charge. This distance is more than enough for most inner city logistics and distribution vehicles which spend most of their operating time in slow-moving start / stop traffic. The Proterra battery pack delivers industry-leading energy density and a customizable design. This allows the battery in the Volta Zero to be located between the chassis rails – its safest possible location for the design.

The collaboration represents US-based Proterra’s entry into the European truck market. Proterra’s battery technology has been proven over 17 million miles driven by its own transit vehicles and has also been chosen by other world-class commercial vehicle manufacturers to electrify delivery vans, school buses, coaches, low-floor shuttles, and construction equipment.

Proterra batteries feature passive and active safety features, liquid thermal conditioning, and adheres to state-of-the-art functional safety standards, including ISO 26262 (up to ASIL C). The Proterra battery is designed to deliver over 4,000 recharge cycles over 10 years, without significant degradation, to ensure the longevity of the vehicle.

Jack Allen, Proterra Chief Executive Officer, said; «Embracing clean, quiet transportation for all not only benefits how we move people around cities and towns, but also how we provide goods and services to the communities we live in. Proterra is excited to work with Volta Trucks as we accelerate the transition to 100% clean transportation and deliver Proterra Powered clean energy vehicles to communities across Europe.»

Gareth Joyce, President of Proterra Powered and Energy, added; «Proterra and Volta Trucks share a common vision of clean, healthy communities served by zero-emission, electric vehicles. We look forward to building our relationship together as we support Volta Trucks in the development of the revolutionary Volta Zero commercial vehicle.»

Chief Executive Officer of Volta Trucks, Rob Fowler, concluded; «I’m delighted to welcome Proterra – a world-class innovative engineering partner – to the supply chain for the Volta Zero. When talking to our extensive group of customers, vehicle range is uppermost in their minds as it sits at the heart of the vehicle’s ability to deliver for them. It was therefore imperative that we work with an industry-leader to ensure the quality, longevity, and safe performance of the battery. Proterra’s cutting-edge but well-proven battery technology perfectly delivers all of this for us and our customers.»

About the Volta Zero.
The Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built full-electric 16-tonne vehicle designed for inner-city freight deliveries, reducing the environmental impact of freight deliveries in city centres. Designed from the ground up with an operating pure-electric range of 150 – 200 kms (95 – 125 miles), the Volta Zero will eliminate an estimated 180,000 tonnes of CO₂ by 2025.

Safety is also at the heart of Volta Trucks, with its ambition of being the safest large commercial vehicle manufacturer. The Volta Zero was designed for electric from the outset, which facilitates a step-change in vehicle, driver and pedestrian safety. Thanks to the removal of the internal combustion engine, the operator of a Volta Zero sits in a central driving position, with a much lower seat height than a conventional truck. This combination, plus a glass house-style cab design, gives the driver a wide 220-degrees of visibility, minimising dangerous blind spots.

The prototype Volta Zero was launched in September 2020, with the first vehicles expected to be operating with customers in late 2021.

DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Cuba 1940–2000: Reseña Histórica was created by Nelson de los Santos. Nelson de los Santos is an author who hails from Havana, Cuba. He worked for a security company; graduated from the Ana G. Méndez University System with an MBA; and currently lives in Deerfield, Beach Florida.

Nelson de los Santos said this about his book: «This book details the events in the period starting with the establishment of the Constitution of 1940. Free elections were held until 1948, continuing the democracy that began in 1902 that placed Cuba among the first countries in Latin America.

Fulgencio Batista’s coup on March 10, 1952 established a dictatorship that was fought by Fidel Castro, who developed an armed struggle to restore democracy, supported by the majority of the people.

On December 31, 1958, Batista fled to Santo Domingo as he had lost the war and left power to Castro, who in his first speeches promised freedom of the press and elections in eighteen months. But on February 7, he abolished constitutional rights and later nationalized the economy, establishing a Stalinist dictatorship to this day.»

Published by Page Publishing, Nelson de los Santos’s new book Cuba 1940–2000: Reseña Histórica presents a comprehensive account of the historical events transpiring within Cuba that greatly impacted the country’s politics, government, economy, and people.

RICHMOND, Va., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — VA Majority Makers, a new organization focused on rebuilding a Republican majority in Virginia’s State Legislature, officially launched today. After the recent Republican losses in 2017 and 2019 Garrison Coward, President for the new PAC, believes that it is time for a fresh approach that recruits and equips winning candidates in 2021:

Coward stated, «On both the state and national levels, we have seen policies implemented that limit freedoms, raise taxes, defund police, shutter schools and ultimately hurt the people they are intended to serve. To add to this, Virginians have also witnessed repeated failures to respond to a health crisis that has destroyed jobs, shut down businesses, and limited opportunities for all. Our government has settled for a status quo that does not serve everyone’s best interests, and this needs to change. In 2021, it’s time for political candidates who have an inspiring message, reflect the diverse face of Virginia, and are willing to put in the hard work to win.»

Modeled after the successful national program that helps to build Republican majorities in the U.S. House of Representatives, VA Majority Makers is a recruitment program designed to identify promising candidates across the Commonwealth of Virginia and help to fully fund and equip them for victory. Eric Cantor, former Congressman and House Majority Leader from Virginia, will serve as honorary Chairman of VA Majority Makers.

More information about the program is available at www.vamajoritymakers.gop. Any candidates seeking to run as Republicans for the Virginia House of Delegates in 2021 are encouraged to complete an online application to be considered for the program and potentially qualify for resources and support to win in November.
