ROSEMEAD, Calif., Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — 

ROSEMEAD, Calif., Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Panda Express, the largest family-owned and operated Asian dining concept in the U.S., has sparked a celebration in honor of Lunar New Year, one of the world’s biggest festivals centered around food, family and togetherness. For years, Panda® has celebrated with guests in-store by gifting customary lucky red envelopes, or «hóng bāo» on the first day of Lunar New Year. With festivities looking a bit different than years before, the American Chinese restaurant brand takes this time-honored tradition digital — to spread good fortune to even more people nationwide no matter how close or far they may be. Through Feb. 28, guests can visit www.PandaLNY.com on their mobile phones to send their own virtual celebrations and personalized well-wishes to loved ones through this digital red envelope experience. Panda will also share special offers with every guest who sends and receives a digital red envelope during the festivities.

To bring to life the spirit of Lunar New Year and invite those who may be unfamiliar, Panda unveils a new 3-minute short film that tells a story through the lens of a young man discovering the meaning of the holiday in his own way. The short explores the idea that a person’s desire to come together with loved ones and wish them good fortune is in fact a shared value that connects us all.

«While Lunar New Year may be celebrated differently throughout the world and may hold a different meaning for every individual, the holiday unites us under one universal ideal,» said Andrea Cherng, Chief Brand Officer at Panda Express. «The holiday invokes feelings of hope for the future and inspires us all to savor meaningful moments together. As a family-owned business founded by Chinese immigrants, we are honored to share the significance behind Lunar New Year with our guests in new ways every year and present them with opportunities to spread renewed hope and good fortune to those around them.»

The auspicious holiday is not complete without a family meal filled with symbolic dishes that bring forth new beginnings. As vibrant as the fireworks that light up the night sky on Lunar New Year’s Eve, Panda Express’ Firecracker Chicken Breast® returns with the same bold and loud flavors. The Wok Smart® menu features raised without antibiotics chicken breast, fresh bell peppers, onions, green beans and whole dried chilis, all wok-tossed in a savory black bean sauce. Guests can enjoy this dish and other Lunar New Year favorites like Chow Mein noodles for long life, Orange Chicken with orange for prosperity, Honey Walnut Shrimp representing happiness, and Spring Rolls resembling gold bars for wealth — with Panda’s new $29 Family Meal for a limited time. The digital red envelope offer can be redeemed this year for $2 off a purchase of a two-entrée plate with Firecracker Chicken Breast as an entrée selection, or a free 22 oz. beverage, or a free order of Vegetable Spring Rolls.

Extending the excitement of Lunar New Year to guests at every touchpoint, Panda is making it easier than ever for families and communities to participate in this joyous time of the year. With distance learning continuing for many schools, Panda took its in-classroom cultural education program virtual— Let’s Explore!: Lunar New Year, a free online program, gives teachers and parents nationwide the tools they need to spark cultural curiosity in students. Additionally, Panda has teamed up with Joy Cho, the Founder and Creative Director of Oh Joy! to create limited-edition celebration kits for the whole family.

ROSEMEAD, Calif., 10 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Panda Express, el concepto de restaurantes asiáticos más grande de los Estados Unidos y de propiedad y gestión familiar, inició la celebración en honor al Año Nuevo Lunar, una de las fiestas más grandes del mundo, la cual se centra en la comida, la familia y la unión. Durante años, Panda® ha celebrado con sus clientes regalando los habituales sobres rojos de la suerte, o «hóng bāo», en el primer día del Año Nuevo Lunar. Debido a que las celebraciones se están llevando a cabo de manera distinta a años anteriores, la marca de restaurantes chino-americanos lleva esta larga tradición a lo digital, para repartir la buena suerte a más personas en todo el país, sin importar cuán cerca o lejos estén. Hasta el 28 de febrero, los clientes pueden visitar www.PandaLNY.com en sus teléfonos móviles para que celebren y envíen sus propios deseos de buena suerte personalizados a sus seres queridos a través de esta experiencia digital de los sobres rojos. Panda también compartirá ofertas especiales con cada invitado que envíe y reciba un sobre rojo digital durante las festividades.

Para dar vida al espíritu del Año Nuevo Lunar, e invitar a aquellos que no estén familiarizados con él, Panda presenta un nuevo cortometraje de 3 minutos. El cortometraje cuenta la historia a través de un joven que descubre el significado de la celebración a su manera, siendo testigo del deseo de una persona de reunirse con sus seres queridos y desearles buena suerte. Un valor universal, que de hecho, nos conecta a todos.

«Aunque el Año Nuevo Lunar se celebre de forma diferente en todo el mundo y tenga un significado distinto para cada persona, la fiesta nos une bajo un mismo ideal universal», afirma Andrea Cherng, directora de marca de Panda Express. «La fiesta invoca sentimientos de esperanza para el futuro y nos inspira a todos a saborear momentos significativos juntos. Como empresa familiar fundada por inmigrantes chinos, nos sentimos honrados de compartir con nuestros clientes el significado que hay detrás del Año Nuevo Lunar, de manera nueva, y de presentarles oportunidades que nos permitan difundir la esperanza renovada y la buena fortuna a quienes los rodean».

La festividad no estaría completa sin una comida familiar repleta de platos simbólicos que traigan consigo nuevos comienzos. El Firecracker Chicken Breast® de Panda Express, tan vibrante como los fuegos artificiales que iluminan el cielo nocturno en la víspera del Año Nuevo Lunar, regresa con los mismos sabores ruidosos y audaces. El menú Wok Smart® presenta una pechuga de pollo criada sin antibióticos, pimientos frescos, cebollas, judías verdes y chiles secos enteros, todos salteado al wok en una sabrosa salsa de frijoles negros. Los clientes podrán disfrutar de este plato y de otros favoritos del Año Nuevo Lunar, como los fideos Chow Mein para la larga vida, el Orange Chicken para la prosperidad, el Honey Walnut Shrimp que representa la felicidad, y los Spring Rolls que se asemejan a lingotes de oro para la riqueza, con el nuevo menú familiar de $29.00 de Panda que estará disponible por tiempo limitado. La oferta del sobre rojo digital puede canjearse este año por $2 de descuento en la compra de un plato de dos entradas con el Firecracker Chicken Breast®, por una bebida de 22 onzas gratis, o un pedido de los Vegetable Spring Rolls gratis.

Al extender la emoción del Año Nuevo Lunar en cada punto de contacto con sus clientes, Panda está facilitando que las familias y las comunidades participen hoy más que nunca de este alegre momento del año. De acuerdo con la enseñanza a distancia de muchas escuelas, Panda ha llevado su programa de educación cultural del aula al mundo virtual.

WoLF Submits Petition for Rulemaking to Ed. Dept. on Protecting Title IX Rights of Women and Girls

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) has submitted a Petition for Rulemaking to the U.S. Department of Education to «protect the Title IX rights of women and girls.» The petition was issued in response to President Biden’s executive order on «gender identity» which directs federal agencies to interpret «sex» as also including «sexual orientation and gender identity» and to create new regulations to enact this interpretation.

«Feminists are stepping up to defend the rights that previous generations fought for.» – Natasha Chart

Title IX is vital, widely-supported civil rights legislation for women and girls which prevents discrimination on the basis of sex in federally-funded educational activities, including student athletics.

In January 2021, the Office of Civil Rights of the Department of Education affirmed that Title IX regulations allow single-sex spaces and sports. But last week, the incoming Secretary of Education, Dr. Miguel Cardona, stated that he will not enforce Title IX, and will instead allow male athletes, who identify as female, to play in women’s and girls’ sports.

The petition put forth by WoLF asks the Department of Education to affirm that:

  1. «Sex» under Title IX refers to biological sex.
  2. «Gender identity» is «a person’s belief that they have an internal sense of self-identification as male, female, both, or neither, that is incongruent with one’s sex.»
  3. Single-sex spaces and services, including sports, are provided by sex and not on the basis of a person’s belief about their sex.
  4. True statements about biological sex, based in material reality, are protected by the first amendment.

«These proposed provisions are a completely appropriate implementation of the executive order,» said Lauren Adams, WoLF Legal Director. «The rules we suggest would protect students who have a ‘gender identity’ from discrimination while also ensuring women and girls continue to have equal access to educational opportunities.»

Natasha Chart, WoLF Executive Director, said, «This petition is an important first step towards holding the Biden administration accountable for how their policies will harm women and girls. Feminists are stepping up to defend the rights that previous generations fought for.»

The agency has 60 days to respond to the petition.

Recent polling found that 67% of voters agree that males who identify as transgender should not be permitted to compete in female athletics.

Petition Details:
Petition For Rulemaking To Protect The Title IX Rights Of Women And Girls
Docket No. ED-2020-OGC-0163
Submitted: 2/8/21

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Pace Environmental Sciences, a Division of Pace Analytical® Services, LLC, and a preferred provider of in-lab, mobile, and emergency onsite specialty-contaminant and regulatory testing and analysis services, today announced it has been honored with a 2020 EBJ Business Achievement Award. Pace is being honored with the New Practice Area Award for its COVID-19 Wastewater Surveillance Testing Service.

Pace Environmental Sciences partnered with Pace Life Sciences, a separate Division of Pace Analytical® Services, to quickly build the technology to quantify levels of RNA fragments (infections) in wastewater streams. «The collaborative effort across our organization allowed us to develop this service for commercial use in just 8 weeks», notes Johnny Mitchell, Vice President of Operations, Pace Analytical® National Center for Testing and Innovation. «We knew it would be critical for communities and business populations to get data they could take early action on. That’s why collecting data you can quantify over time is important; the ability to track increases in RNA levels before typical human testing results are received gives our customers valuable time to prepare.» Pace customers using this service include wastewater treatment facilities, Universities, prisons, industry, manufacturers, and more. Most are monitoring results weekly from multiple wastewater streams to determine locations of increased infections, to detect asymptomatic cases, and to alert the community and public health officials on trends.

Environmental Business Journal® (EBJ), is a business research publication that has provided strategic business intelligence to the environmental industry since 1988. «2020 was certainly an exceptional year for our society, the economy, and the environmental industry,» said Grant Ferrier, president of Environmental Business International Inc. (EBI, Inc.), and editor of Environmental Business Journal. «Unique enough that we added two major categories to the EBJ Awards: COVID Resilience that recognizes companies that adapted to work-at-home, travel, field services, and other restrictions, as well as rapidly changing client needs; and COVID Response that recognizes companies that developed or accelerated new business initiatives, innovations, and entire business units to support the environment, and health and safety needs of their diverse client sectors.»

The EBJ Business Achievement Awards customarily recognize business performance in conventional metrics like revenue growth, M&A, exceptional projects, technology development and deployment in the field, and advances in information and digital technology, and these categories are well represented in 2020.

The 2020 EBJ awards will be presented at a virtual Zoom ceremony on February 11th and 12th, 2021. Registration is free to the entire environmental industry community.

Pace Analytical® is a portfolio company of Los Angeles-based Aurora Capital Partners.
