Around 450 U.S. Philanthropic Leaders in Unprecedented Letter: Don’t Cut the Census Short

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Around 450 philanthropic organizations, alarmed by the announcement that the U.S. Department of Commerce intends to «drastically cut short» 2020 census operations amid a surging coronavirus pandemic, urged the U.S. Census Bureau not to rush the significant enumeration and data processing that remain unfinished.

«Rushing the census…would hurt a diverse range of rural and urban communities, leaving them underrepresented locally and in Congress and cutting their fair share of federal funding for Medicaid, economic development, child care, schools, road and public transit improvements, home heating assistance for senior citizens, and many more vital services,» read a letter the philanthropies made public today.

The letter reflects an unprecedented consensus among national, state and local grantmakers and philanthropic institutions that have given a total of more than $100 million to help ensure an accurate census.

The Administration is planning to end door-to-door census enumeration and self response operations Sept. 30, a full month earlier than it announced when it modified the 2020 census timeline as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in the United States. The philanthropic leaders that signed the letter share the belief that the additional month is needed to complete the count; nearly four in ten households were still yet to be counted as August began.

«The bottom line is that shortening the census in the face of national public health and economic crises will result in inaccurate data, distorting the true picture of America for the next decade,» said Gary D. Bass, executive director of the Bauman Foundation and chair of a national philanthropic collaborative to promote a fair and accurate census. «An inaccurate census is not an inevitable outcome. This letter is a nonpartisan plea to the Administration to fulfill its constitutional requirement to count every person in America.»

«State and local funders have supported the 2020 census with a focus on historically undercounted communities, including people of color, low-income and immigrant families, and young children,» said Jocelyn Bissonnette, director of the Funders Census Initiative, which supports funders in their get out the count efforts. «Philanthropy has raised its voice at this critical moment because communities deserve to be fairly and accurately counted, resourced, and represented.»

NUEVO BRUNSWICK, Nueva Jersey, 5 de agosto de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) (la «Compañía») anunció hoy que las Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies han firmado un acuerdo con el gobierno de los Estados Unidos para la producción y distribución local a gran escala en los Estados Unidos de 100 millones de…

La compañía busca asegurar amplio acceso global a la vacuna candidata para el covid-19 después de la aprobación de los reguladores

NUEVO BRUNSWICK, Nueva Jersey, 5 de agosto de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) (la «Compañía») anunció hoy que las Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies han firmado un acuerdo con el gobierno de los Estados Unidos para la producción y distribución local a gran escala en los Estados Unidos de 100 millones de dosis de la vacuna experimental de Janssen para el SARS-CoV-2, Ad26.COV2.S, para su uso en los Estados Unidos después de su aprobación o de la Autorización de Uso de Emergencia de la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos de los Estados Unidos (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA).

La Autoridad para la Investigación y el Desarrollo Biomédico Avanzado (BARDA), que pertenece a la Oficina del Secretario Adjunto para Preparación y Respuesta del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos de los Estados Unidos, en colaboración con el Departamento de Defensa de los Estados Unidos, está comprometiendo más de US$ 1.000 millones para este acuerdo. La vacuna se suministrará sin fines de lucro a nivel global para uso pandémico de emergencia. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos puede adquirir también 200 millones de dosis adicionales de Ad26.COV2.S bajo un acuerdo siguiente.

«El equipo global de expertos de Johnson & Johnson trabajó incansablemente junto a BARDA y socios científicos para buscar una vacuna para el SARS-CoV-2 que pueda ayudar a detener la propagación del covid-19. Apreciamos enormemente la confianza y el apoyo del gobierno de los Estados Unidos a nuestra plataforma y nuestras iniciativas de I+D y la escalabilidad de nuestra tecnología de vacunas. Estamos incrementando la producción en los Estados Unidos y el mundo entero para entregar una vacuna para el SARS-CoV-2 para uso de emergencia», afirma el Dr. Paul Stoffels, vicepresidente del Comité Ejecutivo y director científico de Johnson & Johnson.

Los esfuerzos de Johnson & Johnson para desarrollar una vacuna para el SARS-CoV-2 se han llevado a cabo conforme a una colaboración de investigación y desarrollo en curso con BARDA y bajo la supervisión de la FDA. Basándose en los datos preclínicos positivos publicados recientemente en la revista revisada por pares Nature, el primer ensayo clínico en humanos de fase 1/2a de la vacuna candidata Ad26.COV2.S se está realizando con voluntarios sanos en los Estados Unidos y Bélgica.

La Compañía está evaluando regímenes de una y dos dosis en su programa clínico y trabajando de manera diligente para asegurar un acceso amplio y global a la vacuna después de su aprobación o autorización por los reguladores. Johnson & Johnson se propone cumplir su objetivo de suministrar más de mil millones de dosis a nivel mundial a lo largo de 2021, siempre y cuando la vacuna sea segura y eficaz.

El programa de la vacuna para el SARS-CoV-2 de Johnson & Johnson utiliza la tecnología AdVac® de Janssen. La misma tecnología se utilizó para desarrollar la vacuna para el ébola de Janssen aprobada por la Comisión Europea y para elaborar sus vacunas candidatas para el VIH, el VSR y el Zika. Hasta la fecha, se han vacunado más de 90.000 personas usando la plataforma de Janssen basada en AdVac®.

Insights on the Electronic Shelf Label Global Market to 2027 – Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast

DUBLIN, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Electronic Shelf Label Market By Product Type, Component, Display Size, Communication Technology and Store…

DUBLIN, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The «Electronic Shelf Label Market By Product Type, Component, Display Size, Communication Technology and Store Type: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2027» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

The electronic shelf label market size was valued at $624.7 million in 2018, and is projected to reach $2.40 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 15.9% from 2020 to 2027. The electronic shelf label (ESL) system is used for displaying product pricing on shelves. It utilizes wireless communication networks such as radio frequency (RF) technology and infrared (IR) technology to communicate with the back-end database.

Electronic display modules are basically attached to the front edge of retail shelving. The automatic updating of product pricing is done whenever a price is changed from a central control server. These labels eliminate the discrepancies in selling price of the products and display reliable pricing to the customers. The ESL system has a wide range of applications in various stores such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, non-food retail stores, specialty stores, and others.

The electronic shelf label market is highly competitive and the key strategies adopted by the key players are new product launch, product development, business expansion, merger, and acquisition. For instance, in January 2019, SES-imagotag established partnership with Ossia to develop wireless charging smart digital labels. Wireless charging is a key enabler for an extensive use of retail IoT solutions such as smart electronic shelf labels. Label lifetimes can expand their capacity of coin cell batteries through wireless power.

The trending automation in the retail industry is the key factor that drives the growth of the electronic shelf label market. Moreover, the necessity for more cost-efficient and less time-consuming alternative to paper labels fuel market growth. In addition, an increased operational efficiency with real-time product positioning due to the utilization of electronic shelf label boost market growth. However, high installation and infrastructure cost restrain market growth. Moreover, low return on investment is also expected to hamper the growth of the electronic shelf label market.

The electronic shelf label market is segmented on the basis of product type, component, communication technology, store type, and region. Based on product type, the market is categorized into LCD, segmented E-Paper, and full-graphic E-paper. By component, it is divided into displays, batteries, transceiver, microprocessors, and others. Based on product type, the market is categorized into LCD, segmented E-Paper, and full-graphic E-paper.

Flock Freight Announces B Corporation Certification

SOLANA BEACH, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Flock Freight, the only logistics provider that offers a shared truckload shipping solution for businesses, today announced its B Corporation certification, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainable freight shipping.

SOLANA BEACH, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Flock Freight, the only logistics provider that offers a shared truckload shipping solution for businesses, today announced its B Corporation certification, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainable freight shipping.

Unlike traditional corporations, B Corps are legally required to consider the impact of their decisions on all stakeholders: Customers, workers, communities, and the environment. Flock Freight’s industry-leading commitment to the environment reduces carbon emissions by up to 40% with its shared truckload solution by pooling multiple less-than-truckload and partial truckload shipments that are going in the same direction onto one truck. Shared truckload shipping negates the need for carbon-intensive terminals and, because shared truckload shipments only load and unload once, 99.9% of shipments arrive damage-free, eliminating the environmental harm of remanufacturing and reshipping duplicate goods.

«As the first freight shipping company to gain B Corporation status, Flock Freight is setting the standard for sustainable shipping practices in the trucking industry with our shared truckload shipping solution,» said Oren Zaslansky, founder and CEO of Flock Freight. «Sustainability is an integral component of Flock Freight’s business model, and the B Corporation certification validates our commitment to transforming the $65B freight industry with shared truckload shipping, which makes shipping freight sustainable, affordable, and efficient.»

Flock Freight’s commitment to its employees was a notable part of earning this certification. «All in» is a company value that all members of the team exemplify through the collective mindset that hard work and dedication yield beneficial results for the whole company and extend beyond the company into positive change throughout the industry. Flock Freight prioritizes the comprehensive well-being of its entire team and is dedicated to providing competitive benefits, generous time off, stock options, retirement plans, and company-sponsored perks. 

The B Corp network consists of over 3,000 businesses that operate in more than 70 countries and across 150 industries. The B Corp program is inspiring tens of thousands of companies to measure their respective impacts, transition to modern corporate structures, and build better businesses.

«We are thrilled to welcome Flock Freight to the B Corp community. Flock Freight’s dedication to transforming the freight industry and its impact on the environment through its shared truckload solution is a game-changer,» said Pooja Dindigal, senior associate of business development at B Lab. «Flock Freight’s commitment to supporting its employees, community, and the environment perfectly aligns with the B Corp’s mission to prioritize both purpose and profit.»

In 2019, Flock Freight’s solution saved the equivalent of over 4,335 metric tons of CO2. In 2020, Flock Freight is committed to reducing carbon emissions from the trucking industry by 5,000 metric tons through shared truckload shipping.

About B Lab
B Lab is a nonprofit that serves a global movement of people and uses business as a force for good. B Lab’s initiatives include B Corp Certification, administration of the B Impact Management programs and software, and advocacy for governance structures like the benefit corporation. B Lab’s vision is of an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system for all people and the planet. To date, there are over 3,000 Certified B Corps in 150 industries and 70 countries, and over 70,000 companies using the B Impact Assessment. Visit bcorporation.net for more information.

About Flock Freight
Flock Freight is the only logistics provider that guarantees shared truckload shipping for businesses. The company is transforming the freight industry with its proprietary pooling technology and algorithms that eliminate terminals and optimize underutilized supply. Founded in 2015, the company works at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and human-centric logistics, prioritizing exceptional service and affordability for the shipper and increased revenue potential for carriers.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — According to a recent relocation report by the Texas Association of Realtors, more Californians are moving to Texas than to any other state – a number that has grown over 30% in a year.

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — According to a recent relocation report by the Texas Association of Realtors, more Californians are moving to Texas than to any other state – a number that has grown over 30% in a year. And more people moved to Travis County from Los Angeles County than any other place outside of the state. Since joining forces in January, luxury realtors Michael Reisor and Lander Peerman of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty have established themselves as the go-to agents for sophisticated Angelenos looking to find a high-end home in Austin. «We’re seeing a massive outpouring of buyers from Los Angeles and New York who are looking for more house for their money and a lifestyle change,» says Peerman, who is well-acquainted with the real estate industry after growing up with a realtor/developer father and architect grandfather.

«Real estate can be an antiquated industry in many ways, but as agents who are firmly entrenched in Austin we can help our clients navigate the ins and outs of the market here,» says Reisor, who was a lobbyist in Hawaii before moving back to Austin nearly a decade ago to start a real estate career. «I’ve always loved people-driven relationships, so real estate is a natural fit for me.» The dynamic duo has a current portfolio of active listings worth more than $15 million, from 1001 Gaston (a five-bedroom home listed for $4.45 million) to 804 Garner (a four-bedroom estate listed for $2.695 million).

«Lander and I work together to create an experience that is very tailored to each individual client,» says Reisor. «We both have a passion for the people we work with and a true eye for design and detail. It always comes down to the people, and I think both of us truly know that. That’s what drives us and helps us find listings that are going to be amazing spaces for people.»

The team will discuss their expertise in the Austin real estate market as well as their current portfolio when joining Real Talk, the #1 real estate talk show on Instagram hosted by founder Alexander Ali of The SOCIETY Group, on August 5. Real Talk—which has been featured in publications such as The Daily Mail, Architectural Digest, PEOPLE Magazine, and Fox Business—profiles the revolutionaries of real estate and introduces viewers to the hottest agents in the game.

About Michael Reisor:
For Michael Reisor, passion and enthusiasm for real estate are born out of his love for people. A native Austinite, Michael is thoughtful about how he guides his clients into what not only meets their needs, but makes them even more excited about their transition in or out of a home. Very few know Austin like Michael, and after a quick dialogue, he can show clients intriguing options that most wouldn’t even be aware of.

About Lander Peerman:
For Lander Peerman, helping her clients buy or sell their dream home is an incredibly rewarding process. From first time home buyers to seasoned investors and everything in between, there isn’t a real estate challenge that Lander won’t dive into with determination and passion. As a native Austinite, Lander grew up alongside her father and grandfather, both of whom spent their lifetimes in the real estate industry. After living in New York City and Dallas, and founding two successful businesses, one of them located in the heart of Austin, it was only natural that Lander would launch her own real estate career there.

ATLANTA, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — SingleOps, the leading business management software for outdoor service providers, has released its quarterly report tracking the health of the green industry. A key takeaway from SingleOps’ Q1/Q2 2020 Green Industry Economic Report is that outdoor service companies, including tree care and landscape specialists, have weathered the pandemic fairly well so far, despite some volatility along the way.

The SingleOps Green Industry Economic Report includes data from hundreds of thousands of one-off commercial and residential jobs performed by outdoor service companies in North America using the SingleOps platform between January and June 2020. Examples of one-off projects in the SingleOps system include the removal of a fallen tree, a storm clean up, a flower bed installation or construction of a retaining wall.

For the first six months of 2020, 56% of one-off tree care and landscaping jobs totaling over $256 million were accepted* by outdoor service companies using SingleOps’ system. The proposal acceptance rate was 45% for tree care companies and 66% for landscapers. Digging deeper, the tree care acceptance rate was 52% in January before plummeting to 32% in February, only to rebound to 54% in March and 53% in April; the months of May (50%) and June (48%) weren’t as strong. Among landscaping companies, January’s acceptance rate was 63%, February jumped to 70%, and March (72%) and April (71%) were stable, to 70% in May and 68% in June.

Meanwhile, the average price of a one-off tree care job in the SingleOps system was $2,235 in January and rose to $2,565 in February. It has slipped a bit since: the average tree care job was $1,746 in June. On the landscape side, the average job size was $5,784 in January, dipping to $4,122 in February and $3,942 in March before bottoming out in April at $2,276. The numbers have gone up since, with June coming in at $3,276.

«Over six months have passed since we published our first Green Industry Economic Report, and despite all the chaos wrought by Covid, our industry has proven resilient,» said Sean McCormick, CEO of SingleOps. «With people now spending more time than ever in their yards, home improvement projects are popping up everywhere. While we understand that tough times may yet lie ahead, we remain confident that the green industry will weather the storm and pull through stronger than ever.»

The complete SingleOps Q1/Q2 Green Industry Economic Report can be found here.

*By «accepted,» we are referring to work proposed by a service provider and accepted by a service provider’s customer.

CEO-Led Coalition Launches A Day for Democracy Initiative to Increase Voter Participation

BOSTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — More than 100 CEOs from around the country today announced that they are participating in A Day for Democracy, which launched this week.

BOSTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — More than 100 CEOs from around the country today announced that they are participating in A Day for Democracy, which launched this week. A Day for Democracy is a growing coalition, founded by CEOs and leaders of top-ranked firms in industries including finance, real estate and construction, venture capital, higher education, entertainment, hospitality and healthcare that have pledged to increase voter registration and participation of their employees.

The non-partisan initiative asks employers across the U.S. to commit to take action to give employees time off to vote, and/or to help workers register and access their right to vote – in local, state and national elections – on their terms, whether at polling locations or from the safety of their own home. They can use a responsible online platform of their choice or work with turbovote.org, a leading online service through which employees can register, receive election reminders, and obtain, if they wish to use one, a mail-in ballot.

«There is no more important or patriotic act than voting,» said Peter Palandjian, Chairman and CEO of Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation, who created the coalition. «I’ve always been troubled by routine low turnout in U.S. elections and wanted to find a way to have a positive effect on increasing voter participation. As a CEO, I recognize that I can help by removing barriers for my own employees and encouraging others to do the same. We can all do better, and this non-partisan effort is an important first step.»

Joining Palandjian in A Day for Democracy are Robert Reynolds, President and CEO of Putnam Investments; Tim Buckley, Chairman and CEO of Vanguard Group; Ronald O’Hanley, Chairman and CEO of State Street Corp.; Larry Bacow, President of Harvard University; Miceal Chamberlain, Bank of America’s Massachusetts Market President; J. Alexander (Sandy) Douglas, President and CEO of Staples Inc.; Tom Croswell, President and CEO of Tufts Health Plan; Andrew Dreyfus, CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts; James Judge, Chairman, President and CEO of Eversource; Dr. Peter Slavin, President, Massachusetts General Hospital; Linda Henry, Managing Director of The Boston Globe; Jonathan Bush, Executive Chairman at Firefly Health; and over 90 other companies including goop, Amblin Partners, Starwood Capital, Tely-vision, Bluebird Bio, Bain Capital, Bain & Co. and Wayfair Inc. The growing list of participants in the coalition, who together represent almost 300,000 employees to-date, can be found on the website, www.aDayforDemocracy.com.  

The U.S. has one of the lowest voter participation rates of any democracy in the world. Less than 56 percent of the U.S. voting age population cast ballots in the last presidential election, and even fewer voted during the mid-term elections in 2014. Almost every other democracy holds elections on the weekend to make it easier to vote, and many that hold them during the week designate the day as a holiday.

This year, because of the pandemic, U.S. voters face an additional, unique set of challenges. While many states are increasing voting-by-mail opportunities to accommodate these circumstances, several specific steps are required to participate, including:

  • confirming voter registration and registering if necessary;
  • requesting an application to vote by mail;
  • receiving, completing and submitting that application;
  • receiving, completing and returning on time the ballot itself.

«As a nation, we have an obligation to ensure that we reduce barriers and allow every citizen the opportunity to exercise their right to vote,» said Palandjian. «In rallying the support of employers across the country, we hope this movement will continue beyond this year and will reinvigorate the civic engagement of our country.»

‘Spiritual Genius’ of Knights of Columbus Founder Offers Solution for Current Divisions

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson urged the Knights to redouble their efforts to combat racism, violence and hatred through their ongoing witness of charity, unity and fraternity in society.  «Living these principles,» he said, «is the highest expression of patriotism today.»

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson urged the Knights to redouble their efforts to combat racism, violence and hatred through their ongoing witness of charity, unity and fraternity in society.  «Living these principles,» he said, «is the highest expression of patriotism today.»

Anderson addressed the Knights membership during the organization’s 138th annual convention, held virtually for the first time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

«Many of our fellow citizens are still treated differently because of the color of their skin,» said Anderson. «Whenever and wherever this happens, it is wrong. And it must be righted.»

Anderson recommitted the Knights to its programs in support of Native Americans and to foster an «honest recounting of their history.» He lamented the recent desecration of churches and statues of saints, especially St. Junipero Serra, whom he called a «heroic and saintly missionary.»  «Where others seek to divide,» said Anderson, «let us promote unity. And where racism festers, let us build fraternity.»

‘Spiritual Genius’

Grounded in its principle of fraternity — and as the beatification of its founder draws near — the Knights of Columbus is focused on serving others in the face of daunting health, economic and social challenges. 

«Living in fraternity is what we do every day,» said Anderson.  «It is this commitment to fraternity that gives us the strength to do the great works of charity that our times demand.»

Anderson credited Knights’ founder, Father Michael J. McGivney, with a «spiritual genius» for bringing men together as brothers who care for others through lives of charity.

Father McGivney will be beatified – the final step before canonization – on Saturday, Oct. 31, at St. Joseph’s Cathedral in Hartford. Anderson also announced that the Knights of Columbus Museum in New Haven will be transformed into the Blessed Michael J. McGivney Pilgrimage Center.

True Patriotism

Anderson suggested that Father McGivney’s beatification is timely since he understood well the pain of prejudice and discrimination as religious bigotry in the 19th-century targeted Catholics. However, McGivney and his contemporaries identified a uniquely American way forward.

«They saw in the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment a path offered to them that could be found in no other country,» said Anderson. He cited a similar insight expressed by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who placed hope in the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence because they constitute a «promissory note to …every American.»

Fraternal Giving

In 2019, Anderson reported, the Knights donated more than $187 million and volunteered more than 77 million hours of service valued at more than $2 billion.

The organization responded to the pandemic with the Knights’ locally driven «Leave No Neighbor Behind» program to help neighbors most vulnerable to the illness, as well as blood drives and support for food banks in the U.S and Canada. Other initiatives included million-dollar lines of credit to dioceses in financial trouble and financial aid to the Vatican’s Bambino Gesù hospital for children in Rome.

Those programs are being carried out in tandem with the Knights’ ongoing activities for the disabled via Special Olympics and programs to help the needy, including Coats for Kids and disaster relief.

Insurance Growth Despite Pandemic

Despite the economic downturn due to the virus, Anderson reported insurance sales of $8.4 billion over the past 12 months with agents adopting a virtual business model over the last four months. With nearly $27 billion in assets under management, he said, the K of C is meeting both its financial obligations, and its charitable aspirations.

In April, the Knights of Columbus was one of six companies to receive the highest ranking in a Standard & Poor’s review of North American life insurance companies, ranking them on the basis of financial health.

Joy – and a Call

Anderson concluded his report with a final word on Father McGivney’s beatification and how it is both a cause for joy and a call to higher standards of charity, unity and fraternity.

«We step forward together,» said Anderson, «as Knights of Columbus — Knights of Fraternity – to continue our great work.»

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — DSI, a leading provider of cloud-based inventory management solutions, announced today its touchless applications empower supply chain organizations to optimize inventory processes while helping to keep workers productive and safe by reducing person-to-person contact during COVID-19.
