SEATTLE, Dec. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Following recent changes to U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) rules, Alaska Airlines will no longer accept emotional support animals on its flights. Effective Jan. 11, 2021, Alaska will only transport service dogs, which are specially trained to perform tasks for the benefit of a qualified individual with a disability. 

Earlier this month the DOT said it will no longer require airlines to make the same accommodations for emotional support animals as is required for trained service dogs. Changes to the DOT rules came after feedback from the airline industry and disability community regarding numerous instances of emotional support animal misbehavior which caused injuries, health hazards and damage to aircraft cabins. 

«This regulatory change is welcome news, as it will help us reduce disturbances onboard, while continuing to accommodate our guests traveling with qualified service animals,» said Ray Prentice, director of customer advocacy at Alaska Airlines.

Under the revised policy, Alaska will accept a maximum of two service dogs per guest in the cabin, to include psychiatric service dogs. Guests will be required to complete a DOT form, which will be available on AlaskaAir.com beginning Jan. 11, attesting that their animal is a legitimate service dog, is trained and vaccinated and will behave appropriately during the journey. For reservations booked more than 48 hours prior to travel, guests must submit the completed form via email. For reservations booked less than 48 hours prior to travel, guests must submit the form in person to the Customer Service Agent upon arrival at the airport.

Alaska will continue to accept emotional support animals under its current policy for reservations booked prior to Jan. 11, 2021, for flights on or before Feb. 28, 2021. No emotional support animals will be accepted for travel after Feb, 28, 2021.

The airline provides essential air service for our guests along with moving crucial cargo shipments, while emphasizing Next-Level Care.

DURHAM, N.C., Dec. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Adwerx, a leading provider of hyperlocal, personalized, and custom automated advertising services, is reporting strong growth in Q3-4 amidst the economic…

DURHAM, N.C., Dec. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Adwerx, a leading provider of hyperlocal, personalized, and custom automated advertising services, is reporting strong growth in Q3-4 amidst the economic volatility that has plagued many businesses since March. This continued growth speaks to the significant market opportunity and increasing demand for their Enterprise-level Advertising Automation as a Service. The company will ramp up hiring in the new year to accommodate the expansion. Earlier this year the company announced plans to move to a flexible work arrangement for employees moving forward, so interested candidates can be based anywhere within the United States.

Adwerx’s growth speaks to the increasing demand for their Enterprise-level Advertising Automation as a Service.

Beginning operations in 2013, Adwerx was founded with the concept of leveling the playing field for businesses of all sizes through scalable, automated digital advertising. After experiencing tremendous success in real estate, Adwerx set sights on the mortgage, financial services, and franchise verticals. Today, 25% of the top 1000 real estate firms, and 15% of the top mortgage lenders utilize the Adwerx platform. This includes some of the most respected brands in real estate, mortgage and insurance, including Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Prosperity Home Mortgage, and We Insure. Through a relentless focus on customer success and product innovations, Adwerx has become the trusted digital ad platform for more than 200 well-respected brands.

«Despite all of the turmoil that occurred around the world over the past nine months, the silver lining for Adwerx has been the acceleration of the digital economy. Adoption at this scale may otherwise have taken years, but we provide a critical technology for our customers to survive in this new environment, reaching consumers online and on streaming TV, where viewership has skyrocketed. As a result, we have emerged as the essential automated advertising platform,» said Jed Carlson, CEO of Adwerx.

Over the years, Adwerx has evolved to offer a full service, hyperlocal, custom targeted solution that provides brand-locked advertising across social media, streaming TV, and top websites. The focus has expanded from individual retail to Enterprise technology, which poised the company to be a timely solution in 2020 as the business world went digital seemingly overnight.

To help facilitate this tremendous growth, Adwerx is making a commitment to expand headcounts across the company, growing the sales team to bring on new customers, and the engineering team to build out new products. Additionally, earlier this fall Adwerx announced a location-flexible work arrangement for employees, offering the option to work remotely or from the home office in Durham on a flexible schedule once the office is reopened. This decision honors the company’s dedication to its team and to embracing growth, while allowing the company to expand its talent search beyond the Triangle market.

«The successes Adwerx achieved this year were all the more meaningful given the challenges 2020 has presented,» Carlson continued. «Our growth is more than a story of succeeding amidst a global pandemic and signing new customers – it’s a testament to the unwavering commitment seen by our employees to offer the best products and services that outpace the competition. I couldn’t be more proud of the exceptional work accomplished by the team, and look forward to seeing our team grow in the new year.»

IRS Announces Drop in Standard Mileage Rate by 1.50 Cents in 2021

AMHERST, N.Y., Dec. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CarData Consultants provides The IRS Standard Mileage Rate and FAVR plan maximum vehicle costs, which are published annually in IRS Rev Procedure 2010-51 <a target="_blank"…

AMHERST, N.Y., Dec. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CarData Consultants provides The IRS Standard Mileage Rate and FAVR plan maximum vehicle costs, which are published annually in IRS Rev Procedure 2010-51 Notice 2020-2.

2021 IRS STANDARD MILEAGE RATE

Effective January 1 2021, the IRS Standard Mileage Rate for 2021 is down 1.50 cents to 56 cents per mile.  The standard mileage rate for business is based on an annual study of the fixed and variable costs of operating an automobile.

The application for the IRS Standard Rate is to reimburse occasional business use.

IRS STANDARD MILEAGE RATE TRENDS

The table below created by CarData Online displays the IRS Standard Rate for the past 27 years. During those 27 years, the IRS adjusted the Standard Rate in mid-year only four times, in 1999, 2005, 2008 and in 2011. Mid-term adjustments are a function of dramatic changes in fuel prices, as happened with Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The top 10 Destinations & Reasons to «Travel with Purpose» in 2021 according to Amazon Prime Video’s highly rated «Global Child» travel series

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — «The best way to let go of the past is to look towards the future,» says Augusto Valverde, the creator and host of Global Child «Travel with Purpose» now in its third season of exploring the world through the best experiences and giving back everywhere they go. «But where to journey with so many options, right? With the world starting to open up, it’s really a matter of priorities. In our second season we visited ten incredible destinations where we ‘travelled with purpose’ and gave back as we discovered positive life lessons,» Says Augusto, with a hopeful smile.

As 2020 winds down, the vaccine begins to be distributed and the world begins to adapt and re-open, several destinations are already flirting with international passengers to begin to romance their hearts and imaginations. However, with so many changes to the world, many travelers have found new found priorities that also include giving back, learning from the destination and sharing the positive experience with the world.

It’s no longer about just being a consumer, but it’s about actually bringing added value to the world we all inhabit and the places we go. That’s exactly why Augusto created the Global Child series, first launching on ten major airlines that carry over 500 million yearly passengers and now reaching millions on Amazon Prime Video as well. More importantly, he brings different influencers and celebrities on the journey to give back together.

«We wanted to inspire travelers to remember that everyone is part of one global family and we have so much more in common than what sets us apart. It’s time to leave the divisive behind and embrace the future together. Doing good in each place we visit, not only is a great blessing for each place we visit, but it actually does wonders for our own soul. Humans are wired to give; that’s where joy comes from. Joy is proportional to gratitude. If we feel unhappy, we have to check our gratitude levels and what we are giving to the world around us. I know it’s tough, but we can always give at least a smile. That’s why we chose these amazing ten destinations to showcase in our Second Season of: Global Child «Travel with Purpose» now streaming on Amazon Prime Video,» Says Augusto.

LOS ANGELES, 29 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — «La mejor manera de dejar atrás el pasado es mirar hacia el futuro», dice Augusto Valverde, el creador y presentador de <a target="_blank"…

LOS ANGELES, 29 de diciembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — «La mejor manera de dejar atrás el pasado es mirar hacia el futuro», dice Augusto Valverde, el creador y presentador de Global Child «Travel with Purpose» ahora en su tercera temporada de explorar el mundo a través de las mejores experiencias y retribuir en todas partes. ellos van. «Pero a dónde viajar con tantas opciones, ¿verdad? Con el mundo comenzando a abrirse, es realmente una cuestión de prioridades. En nuestra segunda temporada visitamos diez destinos increíbles en los que «viajamos con un propósito» y retribuimos al descubrir lecciones de vida positivas». Dice Augusto, con una sonrisa esperanzada.

A medida que el 2020 termina, la vacuna comienza a distribuirse y el mundo comienza a adaptarse y reabrirse, varios destinos ya están coqueteando con pasajeros internacionales para comenzar a enamorar sus corazones e imaginaciones. Sin embargo, con tantos cambios en el mundo, muchos viajeros han encontrado nuevas prioridades que también incluyen retribuir, aprender del destino y compartir la experiencia positiva con el mundo.

Ya no se trata solo de ser un consumidor, sino de aportar valor añadido al mundo que todos habitamos y a los lugares a los que vamos. Esa es exactamente la razón por la que Augusto creó la serie Global Child, que se lanzó por primera vez en diez aerolíneas principales que transportan más de 500 millones de pasajeros al año y ahora también llega a millones en Amazon Prime Video. Más importante aún, trae a diferentes influencers y celebridades en el viaje para retribuir juntos.

«Queríamos inspirar a los viajeros a recordar que todos somos parte de una familia global y que tenemos mucho más en común de lo que nos distingue. Es hora de dejar atrás la división y abrazar el futuro juntos. Hacer el bien en cada lugar que visitamos, no solo es una gran bendición para cada lugar que visitamos, sino que en realidad hace maravillas para nuestra propia alma. Los seres humanos están programados para dar; de ahí viene la alegría. La alegría es proporcional a la gratitud. Si nos sentimos infelices, tenemos que comprobar nuestros niveles de gratitud y lo que estamos dando al mundo que nos rodea. Sé que es difícil, pero siempre podemos dar al menos una sonrisa. Es por eso que elegimos estos diez increíbles destinos para exhibirlos en nuestra segunda temporada de: Global Child «Travel with Purpose», que ahora se transmite en Amazon Prime Video «. Dice Augusto.

Estos son los diez destinos principales de Global Child para visitar en 2021, sin ningún orden en particular, pero con un acto de caridad definido y la lección de vida que descubrimos en cada uno, así como una idea de cómo retribuir en cada lugar. ¡Puede ver los episodios completos de una hora en Amazon Prime Video ahora mismo para una inmersión más profunda y un alivio bienvenido!

Devolver idea: Apoyar los refugios de animales.

9. Irlanda
La lección: El oficio de la curiosidad.

Devuelva la idea: apoye a los guías turísticos locales que le muestran sus tradiciones antiguas.

Created by David & Goliath, Kia’s creative agency of record, the campaign includes a 30-second spot entitled, «The World’s First Storytelling Machine.» The spot shows that the all-new 2021 Sorento is much more than an SUV, it is a powerful, highly sophisticated tool – a Storytelling Machine – to help us all discover stories worth telling, especially at a time when experiences are limited. In addition to the broadcast campaign, the Sorento will be featured on New Tradition’s spectacular digital billboards on the north façade of One Times Square, the building that launched the annual New Year’s Eve Ball Drop tradition in 1907.

It’s another chance for us to write our own story. The Kia Sorento, with its rugged capability and comfortable and flexible interior is perfectly equipped to take you anywhere your story leads.»

To recognize and thank them for their hard work and dedication, Kia will host frontline workers and their families so they can safely experience the thrill of New Year’s in Times Square for themselves. The families will be shuttled to and from Times Square for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in a fleet of 2021 Kia Sorento and Telluride SUVs.

Kia’s New Year’s Eve campaign started on December 1 with an all-new Sorento SUV and «2021» Times Square Numerals in tow, embarking from Kia’s Irvine, California, headquarters on a cross-country road trip to deliver the numerals to One Times Square. Along the way, the Sorento stopped at Kia dealerships in Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. At select points along the route, National Geographic documented the Sorento’s journey to help bring the stories from these locations to life through photography and video.
