EL PASO, Texas, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Hunt Military Communities (HMC), the largest U.S. military housing owner, today announced its project to expand on its leading initiatives to integrate additional solar rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems across its facility at Scott Air Force Base. This community includes more than 1,500 homes serving 3,000 residents. The 2.8 megawatt PV system will produce an estimated 3.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually and will enable the community to draw 15-20% of its total electricity supply from clean, renewable energy. With this update, HMC has added more than 20 MW of solar across its housing communities nationwide. The project is slated to be completed by Q4 of 2021.

«Hunt Military Communities is wholly dedicated to ensuring that our communities are operating efficiently and with a minimal environmental impact,» said John Hoyt, Vice President of Hunt Military Communities. «Through the deployment of solar energy systems, we can help reduce energy costs and reinvest those resources into our communities, reaffirming our commitment to military families across the United States. We value the partnership with the Department of the Air Force in championing sustainability and the significant support of Scott’s military leadership.»

The installation of the rooftop PV systems will be built and operated by affiliates of True Green Capital Management (TGC), Hunt’s solar energy partner with whom HMC has installed ~12 megawatts of solar projects across six military housing sites. «We are honored to partner with Hunt and the Air Force to provide Scott Air Force Base residents with renewable and resilient energy supply right at their homes», said Dr. Ninios, TGC’s Managing Partner. These PV systems will further reduce Scott’s environmental impact and carbon footprint, ultimately decreasing reliance on non-renewable energy sources. The project directly supports goals set forth by the Department of Defense, as well as the state of Illinois’ goal to achieve 100% renewable energy by the year 2050. For HMC, this is the next step in a broad-based effort to improve the sustainability of military housing nationwide. Col. J. Scot Heathman, Scott Air Force Base installation commander said, «We are very proud of our Scott Family Housing partner, Hunt, for taking this next step in providing sustainable energy for our base housing. Reducing our greenhouse gas footprint while providing economical electricity is a win-win for the installation. We look forward to years of renewable energy production right here at Scott Air Force Base.»

«As studio operators ourselves, Todd and I understand firsthand the impact this sport can have on building a local community and empowering people to throw a punch at the daily challenges life throws our way,» said Alexander. «Now more than ever, it is critical to provide an outlet for the stress millions of people are going through. We have members that have been outspoken about how BoxUnion has helped alleviate depression and build confidence. With more than 65,000 members and digital subscribers, the combined company will now be able to provide this experience to more people than ever.»

Wadler spent over 20 years in finance and co-founded Moelis & Company, a publicly traded, leading global independent investment bank and asset management firm. Passionate about fitness, he saw an opportunity to grow the market in fitness boxing. Alexander boasted a successful career as a sales and marketing executive for companies including Sun Microsystems, Sony, Mattel, and Demand Media. She is deeply passionate about boxing as a vehicle to change people’s lives, having put on gloves for the first time at 16 shortly after her father’s sudden death.

«The popularity of fitness boxing and kickboxing is growing rapidly. I set out on a deliberate path to find a promising boxing brand to accelerate our growth,» said Rotche. «Todd and Felicia’s collective dedication to revolutionizing the fitness boxing category make them the ideal new owners for TITLE Boxing Club and the optimal partner to our passionate franchisees. The two brands integrate seamlessly due to their commitment to the same core demographic and bringing the mental and physical benefits of boxing to all ages, genders, and experience levels.»

«You can expect us to expand our fitness offering with the added leadership of the BoxUnion team. Currently 81% of our locations are open and provide a safe, no-touch boxing workout for people looking to destress, get results, feel better, and gain confidence,» said Budke. «With demand for health and wellness at the highest it’s ever been, we have plans to expand into new markets, giving future franchisees an amazing opportunity to turn their passion into a profession. We adamantly believe in providing the most effective workout, in local communities and online. I look forward leading the charge for the next phase of growth in our franchise system.»

NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bernstein Liebhard, a nationally acclaimed investor rights law firm, announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired the securities of QuantumScape Corporation («QuantumScape» or the «Company») (NYSE: QS) from December 8, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the «Class Period»). The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you purchased QuantumScape securities, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit QuantumScape Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact Matthew E. Guarnero toll free at (877) 779-1414 or MGuarnero@bernlieb.com

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects.  Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that : (i) the Company’s purported success related to its solid-state battery power, battery life, and energy density were significantly overstated; (ii) the Company is unlikely to be able to scale its technology to the multi-layer cell necessary to power electric vehicles; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On January 4, 2021, an article was published on Seeking Alpha.  That article pointed to a number of risks associated with QuantumScape’s solid state batteries.  These risks make QuantumScape’s batteries «completely unacceptable for real world field electric vehicles.» The article specifically stated that QuantumScape’s battery’s power meant it would «only last for 260 cycles or about 75,000 miles of aggressive driving.»

On this news, the price of QuantumScape’s shares fell $34.49 or approximately 40.84% to close at $49.96 per share on January 4, 2021.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 8, 2021. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as lead plaintiff.

• The furniture application segment led the market with 31.2% share in 2019 in terms of revenue, due to the high demand for antique furniture owing to its unique design.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Paralyzed Veterans of America Executive Director Carl Blake released the following statement regarding President Trump’s signing of H.R. 7105, the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020, which enhances the quality of life for veterans, their families, and caregivers:

«Today’s signing of the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020 is a win for the entire veteran community. The VA provides preeminent health care for our members who have spinal cord injuries or diseases, such as MS and ALS. Our members rely on the VA system of care, but when they don’t feel safe, can’t get basic exams, or are unable to gain access to health care facilities, they are forced to rely on substandard community care, or worse, they opt not to get care at all.

This bill improves the quality of health care and benefits our members and their survivors receive. It also helps them to live a life of freedom and independence and reduces hardships on their families and caregivers. We are grateful that Congress and the President worked together to recognize the unique needs of our nation’s veterans and stand at the ready to ensure that each provision is implemented effectively.»

Background on H.R. 7105
Our nation’s veterans deserve and expect quality health care and benefits from the government, whether it’s pandemic assistance and proper burials to retraining assistance and housing. This legislation is designed to help the government better deliver critical services, like those noted above, to the veteran community. Other key provisions included in this bill are: eliminating the 12-year delimiting date for disabled veterans to receive counseling, training, and benefits under the Veteran Readiness and Employment program for eligible disabled veterans who separate from military service after January 1, 2013; requiring the VA to provide disability benefits questionnaires online; and lowering the age a surviving spouse may remarry and still receive dependency and indemnity compensation benefits.

About Paralyzed Veterans of America
Paralyzed Veterans of America is the only congressionally chartered veterans service organization dedicated solely for the benefit and representation of veterans with spinal cord injury or disease. For almost 75 years, the organization has ensured that veterans receive the benefits earned through service to our nation; monitored their care in VA spinal cord injury units; and funded research and education in the search for a cure and improved care for individuals with paralysis.

As a life-long partner and advocate for veterans and all people with disabilities, Paralyzed Veterans of America also develops training and career services, works to ensure accessibility in public buildings and spaces and provides health and rehabilitation opportunities through sports and recreation. With more than 70 offices and 33 chapters, Paralyzed Veterans of America serves veterans, their families and their caregivers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
