Mayors Welcome Biden Plan for Pandemic Response & Recovery, Including Much-Needed Support for Cities

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, President-elect Joe Biden is releasing his plan for economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, and members of the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) were briefed on it earlier. Among other solutions, the president-elect is proposing $350 billion in aid to state and local governments who have had their budgets decimated by the pandemic and been forced to shed more than one million jobs since it began. Washington failed to include support for cities in its most recent emergency package and, to date, only 38 American cities have seen any direct assistance. The plan proposed today would allow cities to preserve jobs, respond to the surging pandemic, and help drive our economic recovery. In response, USCM President Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer issued the following statement.

«The president-elect understands that we cannot leave American cities behind as people’s lives and livelihoods are at stake. Cities continue to be on the frontline of fighting the pandemic. Providing direct, flexible aid to cities is the most efficient and immediate way for Congress to help families across the country who have been suffering for far too long. President-elect Biden has made clear he intends to solve this crisis, and mayors are grateful for his leadership. Cities of all sizes must have direct, flexible assistance so that they can be a driver rather than a drag on America’s recovery. We would welcome investments in our local public health infrastructure to expedite vaccine distribution and expand testing and tracing, which will ultimately save lives. We are grateful for the proposed assistance for individuals and families that will help relieve the income, housing, and food insecurity that burdens millions of households – now and in the future. The nation’s mayors look forward to working with President-elect Biden, Speaker Pelosi, incoming Senate Majority Leader Schumer and Members of Congress from both political parties to get this much-needed assistance enacted into law immediately.»

About The United States Conference of Mayors — The U.S. Conference of Mayors is the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are nearly 1,400 such cities in the country today, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor.

‘Movement that inspires’ – Kia presents its new brand purpose and future strategy

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Kia has announced new details of its new brand purpose and ambitions for the future during a digital showcase event. Supported by a new brand slogan, ‘Movement that inspires’, Kia today reveals new details of a strategy which will see the company go beyond vehicle manufacturing to create sustainable mobility solutions for customers.

<img…

Signaling the brand breaking away from its traditional manufacturing-driven business model, Kia has announced a new corporate name. Removing the ‘Motors’ from its name (previously ‘Kia Motors Corporation’), Kia will expand into new and emerging business areas by creating innovative mobility products and services to improve customers’ daily lives.

Ho Sung Song, President and CEO of Kia Corporation, comments: «At Kia, we believe that transportation, mobility, and movement represent a human right. Our vision is to create sustainable mobility solutions for consumers, communities, and societies globally. Today we start putting this vision into action with the launch of our new brand purpose and strategy for the future.»

The ‘New Kia Brand Showcase’ can be viewed on the Kia Global YouTube channel from 09:00 Korean Standard Time on Friday January 15, 2021 (01:00 CET, January 15 / 16:00 PST, January 14): https://youtu.be/U67RlX9ibfo

Introducing Kia’s new brand purpose and slogan: ‘Movement that inspires’
Kia’s new brand slogan, ‘Movement that inspires’, is introduced today at the heart of a brand manifesto which reflects Kia’s new purpose of inspiring consumers through products and services, and their experiences with the brand.

Kia’s new brand purpose emphasizes that movement is at the genesis of human development. Movement enables people to see new places, to meet new people, and to have new experiences. This connection is the essence of Kia’s new brand – to enable human progress by providing innovative in-car spaces, exciting new products, and meaningful, convenient services that inspire customers and free up time for the activities that they enjoy the most.

Artur Martins, Senior Vice President, Head of Global Brand & Customer Experience at Kia, said «Movement has always been at heart of our brand, and moving people at the core of our business. Movement helps humankind to constantly progress, improve, and evolve. That is why at Kia we believe that movement inspires ideas.»

Kia has been in the ‘movement’ industry for more than 75 years, and the company went on to create Korea’s first domestic bicycles and to manufacture motorcycles and delivery trucks. Today, Kia is one of the biggest automakers globally, providing high-value passenger vehicles to millions of people around the world.

Under its new brand purpose, Kia will meet changing customer expectations about how they move, and how their movement impacts the world around them. Consumers are increasingly seeking out flexible, environmentally conscious, and integrated forms of transportation.

Kia’s new brand strategy is to respond to – and shape – these changing expectations by developing a range of products and services to meet customers’ needs in markets around the globe. These will offer greater access to a wider range of environmentally conscious mobility products and services to meet growing demand from customers worldwide for flexible, customizable, individualized mobility solutions, enabled by data and new technologies.

Kia Corporation‘s broader vision for sustainable mobility
Reflecting the brand’s broader vision for mobility, Kia has announced today a new corporate name as it expands into new business areas to promote sustainable mobility. By removing the ‘Motors’ from its name, Kia’s new corporate name shows a commitment to its long-term ‘Plan S’ business strategy. This was announced in 2020, and will see the brand establish a leadership position in the future mobility industry, expanding its business to encompass EVs, mobility solutions and services, purpose-built vehicles, and more. Alongside these efforts, Kia will simultaneously promote more sustainable production through the usage of clean energy and recyclable materials.

Kia is focused on popularizing battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and plans to reinforce its global product line-up with the introduction of seven new dedicated BEVs by 2027. These new models will include a range of passenger vehicles, SUVs and MPVs across several segments, each incorporating industry-leading technology for long-range driving and high-speed charging from Hyundai Motor Group’s new Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP).

Kia is also developing a range of new Purpose-Built Vehicles (PBVs) for corporate customers. These specialized vehicles will be based on flexible ‘skateboard’ platforms, with modular bodies designed to meet the specific mobility needs of a broad range of corporate and fleet customers. Partnerships with the likes of Canoo and Arrival will mean Kia PBVs can offer different bodies mounted on top of an integrated modular ‘skateboard’ platform, tailored to users’ functional requirements.

Demand for PBVs is expected to grow five-fold by 2030 due to rapid and sustained growth in e-commerce and car-sharing services. Bespoke Kia PBVs will be tailored to meet the needs of corporate and fleet customers. For instance, these could include car-sharing vehicles, low-floor logistics vehicles, and delivery vehicles.

The change in the company’s corporate name also means transforming the organization’s working culture. President Song explains: «Changing our corporate name and logo is not only a cosmetic improvement. It represents us expanding our horizons and establishing new and emerging businesses that meet and exceed the diverse needs of our customers worldwide. More importantly, it also means adapting our working culture, enabling the creativity of all our employees and establishing an inspiring work environment.»

Development of eco-friendly mobility services
Another strategic objective under Plan S is a commitment by Kia to diversify its business to offer eco-friendly mobility services, centered on electric and autonomous driving across major global cities.

In addition, Kia is ramping up collaboration and partnerships with global mobility solutions businesses, diversifying mobility services in global strategic regions. In 2018, the company invested in Grab, Southeast Asia’s largest ride-hailing service, food delivery and payment solutions company; and in Ola in March 2019, an Indian company offering peer-to-peer ridesharing, ride-service hailing, taxi, food delivery and other mobility services.

Kia is also establishing other mobility services, including WiBLE, a car-sharing joint venture with Repsol, Spain’s major energy corporation, in Madrid. Launched in September 2018, WiBLE operates 500 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid EVs (PHEVs) through a free-floating method that allows users to freely rent and return vehicles within the service area. WiBLE remains one of Europe’s most successful shared mobility schemes, with over 130,000 members having registered since its inauguration. A new service, KiaMobility, was also launched in locations across Italy and Russia in September 2020, accelerating the company’s transformation to becoming a mobility solutions provider. KiaMobility will be introduced to several new markets in the years ahead.

Coming soon: Kia’s first dedicated BEV and a new design philosophy
The first of Kia’s next-generation BEVs will be revealed in the first quarter of 2021, embodying Kia’s shifting focus towards electrification. Based on new E-GMP technology, this dedicated BEV will boast a crossover-inspired design, while offering an electric driving range of over 500 kilometers and a high-speed charging time of under 20 minutes. This will also be the first global model to bear Kia’s new logo.

With its growing range of BEVs, Kia is targeting a 6.6% share of the global BEV market by 2025, and global annual sales of 500,000 BEVs by 2026.

Kia will also reveal more information about the new design direction of its future products and services in the weeks ahead, with a new design philosophy which reflects the brand’s transformation.

Karim Habib, Senior Vice President, Head of Kia Global Design Center, explains: «We want our products to deliver an instinctive and natural experience that can improve the daily lives of our customers. Our aim is to design the physical experience of our brand and to create original, inventive, and exciting electric vehicles. The ideas of our designers and the purpose of the brand are more connected than ever, with our customers at the center of what we do.»

‘Good Shade’ Comes to South Los Angeles With Tree Planting at Alondra Community Regional Park

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Tree Pledge and the Radical Resilience Lab are launching <a…

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Tree Pledge and the Radical Resilience Lab are launching Good Shade, an urban reforestation tree-planting program developed in partnership with the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation, with funding from California ReLeaf and CALFIRE. The pilot project commences Jan. 13, 2021, at Alondra Community Regional Park (3850 Manhattan Beach Blvd, Lawndale, CA 90260) with 50 trees planted and an education campaign to raise awareness of the mental and physical health benefits associated with human connection with trees and nature. The trees will be planted by venerable green jobs organization, Los Angeles Conservation Corps.

Good Shade seeks to address environmental justice issues, including health risks associated with poor air quality, lack of tree shade and the need more for green infrastructure in urban communities. The Alondra Park area sits within a ring of densely utilized highways and air pollution that accompanies such traffic. It carries a pollution burden of 87%, bordered by a census tract with a 91 – 100% pollution burden (the Highest Score).

Using heat-mapping and other geo-data tools, the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation determined that the area possesses tree canopy density of only 11% and low levels of shade and tree buffer for particulate matter from air pollution due to nearby transportation corridors.

«We are proud to partner with TreePledge to bring ‘Good Shade’ to Alondra Park and very-high park need communities in South Los Angeles, where parks are often the only access to nature, fresh air and physical activity that many households, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is vital that we invest in disadvantaged communities that are at higher risk of respiratory illness due to lack of trees and shade equity,» according to Norma E. García-González, Director of Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation.

Good Shade was designed to address shade equity disparities in underserved areas of Los Angeles and to generate multiple co-benefits through tree planting and education. Good Shade will improve the physical, emotional, social, and economic health and well-being of local residents, reduce heat islands, reduce stormwater runoff and increase connection with nature. Through Good Shade, the partners seek to plant hundreds of trees throughout the region in communities designed «Very High Need» for more trees and offer a multidisciplinary range of education opportunities, and engage residents in supporting the new trees.

«Trees give us so much more than just oxygen,» asserts The Tree Pledge founder, Rachel Payne. «They make our communities healthier and happier. Trees help us reconnect with nature and they are one of the most important tools we have to address climate change and reduce harmful greenhouse gases in our local communities. Our program seeks to support environmental justice, community resilience and better health outcomes through access to nature.»

Numerous studies show a clear relationship between the urban forest and physical health: shade trees promote physical activity and mitigate the effects of heat on health. Tree-rich neighborhoods often enjoy better health outcomes than tree-poor neighborhoods. Trees combat air pollution and absorb carbon dioxide while releasing oxygen back into the air. Not only do trees beautify areas, but their shade also cools down overheated neighborhoods, and their roots prevent soil erosion and help save water. Together, planting and maintaining trees create opportunities for placemaking and help foster community. According to Los Angeles County tree canopy data, disadvantaged communities in Los Angeles County have less tree canopy than affluent areas and will see four times as many 95°F+ days by 2050 due to climate change.

«Public spaces play a central role in the health of our communities,» says Radical Resilience Lab co-founder, Anastasia King. «We are excited to work with the dedicated folks at The Tree Pledge and the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation to employ the power of the county’s park system in advancing the resilience of Los Angeles and her residents.»

CHICAGO, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Ocean Tomo Transactions, LLC will auction Lot 135, Lidar Enabled Wind Turbine Technology on the Ocean Tomo Bid-Ask™ Market. This technology portfolio discloses leveraging fluid movement data using LIDAR or SODAR into the wind turbine…

CHICAGO, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Ocean Tomo Transactions, LLC will auction Lot 135, Lidar Enabled Wind Turbine Technology on the Ocean Tomo Bid-Ask™ Market. This technology portfolio discloses leveraging fluid movement data using LIDAR or SODAR into the wind turbine design and operational process, enabling significant savings in CapEx. The technology uses fluid movement data at a point upstream of a turbine to estimate fluctuations and modify the turbine’s operational characteristics accordingly. The resulting operational optimization of the turbine maximizes turbine power generation and reduces operational stress on the turbine components.

Deploying the technological advancement embodied in the patent into the turbine design process will reduce the turbine’s mass and cost, increase speed to market, and reduce manufacturing and installation costs. Steve Taber, the inventor of technology and co-founder of the Princeton Energy Group, indicates, «the improved turbine performance will result in a 5-10% projected CapEx advantage. Since wind-generated electricity is dominated by CapEx (not OpEx), this CapEx advantage goes almost directly to the bottom line.»

With a remaining life of 12 years and a priority date in 2009, the patented technology in auction lot 135 would be a valuable strategic IP investment for wind turbine OEMs seeking advantages against competitors in the US market. In addition, LIDAR and SODAR companies seeking revenue-enhancing relationships with turbine manufacturers will also find this technology of interest.

As reported in Lazard’s Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis 14.0, wind is the lowest-cost source of electricity in the US. The report indicates that wind-generated electricity costs as little as $26/MWh, less than solar (≤$29), fully depreciated nuclear (≤$29), and fully depreciated CCG (≤$28). The technology presented in Lot 135 on the Ocean Tomo Bid-Ask™ market will enable wind to increase its lead in the economic competition by driving down wind energy cost even further.

Utilization of the technology presented in Lot 135 creates value that reduces the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE), contributing to both long-term returns for customers and supports the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of ensuring affordable, reliable and sustainable modern energy, reducing carbon emissions impacting our world.

To request bidder credentials or further information on this auction or other portfolios on the Ocean Tomo Bid-Ask™ Market, contact Olivia Becker at oliviabecker@oceantomo.com or +1 747 277 9337.

FRANKLIN SQUARE, N.Y., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Texpak offers three different types of Avery Dennison‘s Ecotach™ fasteners that help brands and retailers achieve their sustainability goals. The choices range from biodegradable fasteners to recycled fasteners. All have been tested by independent 3rd party companies to validate Texpak’s commitment to sustainability and so that you can select the right fastener for your sustainability journey.

Biodegradable (bio-PP) Fasteners

The bio-PP Fastener is made of a proprietary blend of polypropylene material specifically designed to biodegrade in less than a year once it is on soil, without leaving behind any harmful substances. The technology used results in no microplastics so that when a fastener degrades all that is left is carbon dioxide, water and microbes (biomass).

Recycled (rPET) Fasteners

These fasteners are made of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) and carry a «Recycled» logo molded into the paddle. Recycled (rPET) Fasteners contain at least 90% post-consumer waste (PCW) plastic from recycled bottles (rPET).The environmental benefits created by using these fasteners are substantial.

Recycled (rPA) Fasteners

These fasteners are made of recycled polyamide (rPA). The environmental benefit created by using at least 74% «post-consumer» waste from recycled carpets is significant.

SurvivorNet Teams with NYU Langone Health for «Close the Gap,» an Expansive Media Vertical Devoted to Racial Inequities in Cancer

NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — <a target="_blank"…

NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SurvivorNet, the nation’s leading media company for cancer information, is announcing a collaboration with NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center for «Close the Gap,» an essential new media vertical on SurvivorNet.com devoted exclusively to telling patient stories, providing expert medical counsel, and delivering vetted health information as it relates to the huge disparities that exist for racial minorities in healthcare, particularly when it comes to cancer.

«Poverty, a lack of access to health care services and insurance, and other disparities have led to one of the most glaring examples of inequality in the nation; Black men and women are more likely to die from cancers than white men and women with the same illnesses,» said Steve Alperin, co-founder and CEO of SurvivorNet. «Close the Gap is SurvivorNet’s effort to educate, increase awareness and eliminate disparities in cancer outcomes, and we’re grateful to be partnering with the experts at Perlmutter Cancer Center to bolster this effort.»

While addressing racial disparities in cancer care has been part of SurvivorNet’s mission since its inception, the Close the Gap vertical will now serve as a hub of education and awareness within the patient-focused media company, specifically catering to news and human stories as they relate to this topic.

Within this vertical, SurvivorNet will continue to provide expert videos from the nation’s leading oncologists and real stories from real patients who’ve experienced firsthand racial inequities in healthcare. In addition, it lays out hard facts and statistics, including:

A Black woman who gets breast cancer in America has a 39% higher chance of dying than a white woman.

African-American men with prostate cancer are almost twice as likely to die as white men with the same disease.

Hispanics and Latinos have the highest rates of liver, stomach, and cervical cancers, and they’re more likely to be diagnosed at a late stage when cancer is less curable.

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are twice as likely to die from liver and stomach cancers as white Americans.

«Education and awareness are among the most effective ways to move the needle,» Alperin said of SurvivorNet’s Close the Gap efforts. «We need to come together to discuss the critical blockers that prevent people in minority populations from accessing cancer care, engaging in basic preventive behaviors, and taking part in clinical trials.»

A longtime SurvivorNet partner, NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center agrees with this philosophy, and brings renowned medical experts to the table for the initiative, including Benjamin Neel, MD, PhD, director of Perlmutter Cancer Center.

«Our mission is to bring visionary thinking and compassionate care to the science of treating cancer,» Dr. Neel said. «That is why Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health is pleased to partner with SurvivorNet on the health equity initiative Close the Gap. As partners, we will collaborate with SurvivorNet, as well as other health and community groups, to provide expert advice and new information to achieve meaningful reductions in the racial and ethnic inequities that exist in healthcare and beyond. We aim to provide all people with the best cancer care and support possible.»

Dr. Neel and Perlmutter Cancer Center, an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center, bring additional, established insight to Close the Gap, having already activated the program Stamp Out Cancer Brooklyn, a related initiative that involves the center’s health professionals providing community-centered, evidence-based solutions to reduce the overall burden of cancer specifically Brooklyn’s low-income communities and communities of color.

The same enthusiasm will be applied to Close the Gap, leaving Alperin optimistic about the future of this joint effort.

«By working together and collaborating with partners like NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center, we at SurvivorNet believe we can move things forward in a really profound way,» Alperin said. «We are hopeful that we will close the gap, and help create a future that’s free from healthcare inequality.»

About SurvivorNet:

The company has democratized access to the world’s leading cancer experts, helping millions of Americans make better decisions about their care.

Georgia Power honored for response efforts during historic 2020 hurricane season

ATLANTA, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) today presented Georgia Power with the association’s «Emergency Recovery Award» for its power restoration efforts after Hurricane Zeta, and the «Emergency Assistance Award» for help provided to out-of-state utilities following Hurricane Isaias.

ATLANTA, Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) today presented Georgia Power with the association’s «Emergency Recovery Award» for its power restoration efforts after Hurricane Zeta, and the «Emergency Assistance Award» for help provided to out-of-state utilities following Hurricane Isaias.

These awards are given to select EEI member companies to recognize their efforts to restore power to customers after service disruptions caused by severe weather conditions or other natural events. The winners are chosen by a panel of judges following an international nomination process. Georgia Power received the award during EEI’s Winter Board and Chief Executives Meeting.

«It is always an honor to be recognized by EEI for our storm response efforts, but this year it means a little more because our team had the unprecedented task of not only responding to a historic hurricane season, but responding during a pandemic,» said Chris Womack, president of Georgia Power. «It is truly a testament to the unwavering commitment of our team to restore power as safely and quickly as possible for our customers and our neighbors when a storm hits.»

Georgia Power has earned the Emergency Recovery Award nine times, including as recently as 2020. This is the sixth time Georgia Power has earned the Emergency Assistance Award.

Damage from Hurricane Zeta was widespread and covered the northern half of the state and was similar to the damage seen after Hurricane Michael in 2018. As Hurricane Zeta crossed through the state, Georgia Power’s service territory experienced wind gusts of up to 75 mph for more than two hours, along with sustained winds of 25-40 mph for more than five hours straight. Zeta’s impacts were severe and were exacerbated when a strong cold front with gusty winds quickly followed behind the storm, less than 12 hours later.

Georgia Power estimates that damage from Hurricane Zeta included:

Approximately 700 broken or damaged power poles

Nearly 200 miles of downed wire

More than 250 damaged transformers

Approximately 822,000 sustained outages at response peak

Georgia Power also received the Emergency Assistance Award for help provided to First Energy following Hurricane Isaias, a destructive Category 1 hurricane that caused extensive damage across the Caribbean and the East Coast of the United States. The storm spawned a large tornado outbreak that generated the strongest tropical cyclone-spawned tornado since Hurricane Rita in 2005. More than 150 Georgia Power personnel and contractors assisted First Energy for 5 days.

«I congratulate and applaud Georgia Power for demonstrating continued commitment to the customers and to the communities it serves,» said EEI President Tom Kuhn. «In the midst of a global pandemic and often in the most hazardous of conditions, Georgia Power and its frontline employees worked around-the-clock to restore service safely and quickly. Georgia Power is exceptionally deserving of this prestigious award.»

The company coordinates with other utilities through the mutual assistance network. The network consists of hundreds of utilities from around the country. As part of this partnership, Georgia Power is able to respond and offer assistance, providing reinforcements when needed to restore power quickly for other utilities. The company is also able to request additional resources to help restore power to Georgia Power customers following a major storm.
