MIAMI, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SH Hotels & Resorts, an affiliate of global private investment firm Starwood Capital Group led by Chairman and CEO Barry Sternlicht, today announced that it will open its award-winning Treehouse Hotel in Miami, the brand’s first U.S. location, in 2023. Treehouse Hotels debuted in London in 2019.

Treehouse Hotels are about freedom and fun—the wondrous, childhood feeling of climbing into a treehouse and making up your own rules. Designed to appeal to the child in all of us, Treehouse Brickell will be imaginative and nostalgic—inspired by simple joys. Urban yet earthy. Responsible and caring. Dreamed as a space where travelers can converge to share ideas, stories, and connect with the local community. Designed in collaboration with Rockwell Group and SHoP Architects, Treehouse Brickell rises from a beautifully landscaped park, providing guests expansive views of the Miami skyline.

«Downtown Miami, Brickell is the perfect place for a Treehouse. Like its London counterpart, Treehouse Brickell will be as much a destination for travelers as a local hangout, and will introduce a new kind of thoughtful, fun and imaginative hospitality experience to the area,» said Starwood Capital Group Chairman and CEO Barry Sternlicht.

Sustainability
True to the mission of its sister brand 1 Hotels, Treehouse Hotels is rooted in sustainability. By implementing a wide range of energy, water, and environmental design strategies, Treehouse minimizes the hotel’s environmental impact. Features like rainwater harvesting and reuse, low-carbon energy materials, electric-car-recharging stations, and bike parking provide a pathway to a lower carbon footprint.

The Details
Crafted by the ideas that inspire fun seekers and the young at heart, Treehouse Brickell is infused with a sense of playfulness and personality of place. The 62-story hotel has 191 rooms and is filled with repurposed materials and found objects, like reclaimed flooring, wood beams and warm, mismatched lighting, making for a homey, witty, sunny, and fun atmosphere. Inspired by deep ties to the Miami River, the interiors feel much like a welcoming boathouse.

Dining, Stargazing, Drinks and a Dip
The hotel will have two rooftop pools boasting views of the beautiful Miami skyline, with several bar and snack options. The main dining area offers a casual, indoor/outdoor experience with a designated terrace and private bar. The restaurant will be bright and festive, with glowing lanterns, a custom mural, rocking chairs, and Cuban-tiled floors. 

Outdoor Events
Treehouse Brickell’s 25th floor event space features sweeping views, dramatic ceiling heights and expansive outdoor spaces, with lush vegetation throughout. A wood frame structure with exposed ceilings defines the space, adaptable to a variety of different-size groups.

«We are proud to partner with industry trailblazer Barry Sternlicht to create a Treehouse at 1 Southside Park,» said Michael Stern, Founder and CEO of JDS Development Group. «Barry continually raises the bar for exceptional experiences in hospitality, and our location at 1 Southside Park will provide the perfect environment to welcome Treehouse to Brickell, Miami, and celebrate the hotel’s first U.S. location.»

Refraction AI Raises $4.2 Million to Accelerate Reliable, Affordable, Sustainable Last-Mile Robot Delivery for the Masses

AUSTIN, Texas and ANN ARBOR, Mich., Mar. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Refraction AI, the robotics startup and

AUSTIN, Texas and ANN ARBOR, Mich., Mar. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Refraction AI, the robotics startup and creator of the REV-1, a low-cost, lightweight autonomous delivery robot, today announced $4.2 million in new seed funding led by Pillar VC [Pillar VC __title__ https://www.pillar.vc/ . The capital will be used for customer acquisition, geographic expansion and product development.

Founded in July 2019, Refraction AI solves last-mile delivery logistics with a practical, economical and sustainable application of mobile robot technology. Recent market reports* estimate compound annual growth in the last-mile delivery sector over the next 10 years will exceed 14 percent, with the autonomous delivery segment projected to grow at over 24 percent from $11.9 billion in 2021 to more than $84 billion globally by 2031. For many, the COVID-19 pandemic has made home delivery of food, medicine and other necessities directly from retailers and restaurants a necessity. The Refraction REV-1 autonomous delivery robot is the ideal way for restaurants, grocers and other retailers to benefit from these trends reliably, affordably and sustainably.

«Last-mile delivery is the quintessential example of a sector that is ripe for innovation, owing to a powerful confluence of advancing technology, demographics, social values and consumer models. Conventional approaches have left businesses and consumers with few choices in this new environment as they struggle to keep pace with surging demand – burdened by the costs, regulatory, and logistical challenges of a legacy infrastructure,» said Luke Schneider, who took the helm as CEO of Refraction AI in fall 2020. «Our platform uses technology that exists today in an innovative way, to get people the things they need, when they need them, where they live. And we’re doing so in a way that reduces business’ costs, makes roads less congested, and eliminates carbon emissions.»

In addition to Pillar VC, the round was filled out by a syndicate of investors including eLab Ventures, Osage Venture Partners, Trucks Venture Capital, Alumni Ventures Group, Chad Laurans (founder of SimpliSafe), Invest Michigan, and others.

«With a tremendous potential to impact the future of last-mile goods delivery, Refraction AI is incredibly well-positioned because their solution is up and running today,» said Jamie Goldstein, founder and partner of Pillar VC. «We believe Refraction AI will create the de facto standard for this rapidly-expanding category; the combination of technology, momentum and leadership makes the company poised to break down barriers to AV for any business, which in turn increases access to goods for households that need them.»

Since its inception, Refraction AI has deployed the first application of its technology serving restaurants and grocery stores in its Ann Arbor, MI location. With new capital, the company plans to expand both the geographic and industry reach of its last-mile delivery as a service offering.

Refraction AI has recently expanded its office and production space for a growing team. For open job listings and information on partnering, please visit https://refraction.ai/.

About Refraction AI
Refraction AI makes low-cost, lightweight autonomous robots for last-mile delivery. The smaller form factor of its REV-1 delivery robot allows it to operate in both the bike lane and roadway, providing many of the benefits of autonomous vehicles with more route flexibility and safety. Founded by roboticists and professors at the University of Michigan, Refraction AI’s first application was with restaurant and grocery partners, and the company expects to expand across the gamut of last-mile delivery.

The Journey of a Million Miles Begins With One Father and Son Team – ‘Off the Road Adventures’ Launches Major Multimedia, Global-Spanning Trip Series at Mile-Marker Zero in Key West

KEY WEST, Fla., March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Off the Road Adventures (OTRA – www.offtheroad.tv) announced its official launch in a multimedia event scheduled to begin on March 13 in Key West. OTRA is a father/son team – Keith…

KEY WEST, Fla., March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Off the Road Adventures (OTRA – www.offtheroad.tv) announced its official launch in a multimedia event scheduled to begin on March 13 in Key West. OTRA is a father/son team – Keith Anderson, 48; John Anderson, 9 – co-creating their own Travel Vlog and adventure company with an exciting goal of one million miles together for a far-ranging adventure series. Each trip will be recorded by professional videographer Cassy Grace, using a mix of handheld devices, drones, traditional equipment and GoPros, before uploaded as a professionally edited and voiced-over episode. OTRA also maintains a dynamic website and social media presence to give fans exclusive up-to-the-minute, follow-along access to Keith and John’s epic journey of discovery.

When asked about the idea behind OTRA’s inaugural adventure, Keith said:

«We’re starting at Mile Marker Zero because it’s incredibly symbolic of what John and I are doing together. Although we’ve put a lot of planning and forethought into OTRA, this is a whole new chapter in our lives, and we wanted to commemorate that. The idea evolved from weekends that we spent together, playing in the park, riding skate boards, mountain biking and motorcycling. Initially I was just a spectator, but John’s energy is so boundless, and he has endless curiosity. So I had to join in the fun. He’s also firmly embedded in digital culture, like most kids his age, and is obsessed with his favorite content-creators – so he wanted to become one. His favorite idols right now are YouTube stars like Ken Block, Ben Johnson, and topics like Air Photography.»

Discussing his son John, Keith said:

«John was born and raised in Denver, where I worked as a professional landscape architect. In many ways he’s a typical kid – he loves math, science, art classes, drawing, puzzles, and going outside to explore dirt, snow, mud, and sunshine. But he’s the family trailblazer too. Whether it’s fishing, riding motorcycles, or taking his prized Polaris RZR 170 out – he’s always at the head of the pack. That’s basically how OTRA was born. I wanted a way to constantly connect with my son – keep up with his interests – and create a company that others could find value in as well.»

When asked about future directions for OTRA, Keith remarked:

«Well, our adventures have really allowed me and John to spend quality time together, visit new places and meet new people. It’s already strengthened our father-son bond. But OTRA is ultimately about transforming our dynamic duo into a larger community – bringing adventures and experiences to a much larger audience. We want to provide ideas, locations, tips, tricks, likes, dislikes, and opinions about a variety of sports, activities, and adventures. We want our fans – all kinds of family units – to explore the world with us. We’re really hoping that OTRA becomes interactive. We don’t just want people watching – we want them to participate as part of a community.»

Throughout these decades, many Alfa Romeo drivers have made an indelible mark on the sport. In celebration of International Women’s Day, Alfa Romeo salutes its female race drivers.

While these women competed in different eras and came from different countries, they all shared a pioneering spirit and a passion for racing, trailblazing uncharted territories in a challenging sport.

The storied list begins with Baroness Maria Antonietta d’Avanzo, who raced for Alfa Romeo in the early 1900s, and spans to Tatiana Calderon, who in 2018 was named a test driver for the Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN Formula One team.

Chronicled below are some of the key female race drivers in the brand’s illustrious history.

Tatiana Calderon
Born in 1993 in Bogota, Colombia, Calderon took her first step in motorsports in 2005, winning a national championship in the Easy Kart Pre-Junior series. Just three years later, she would become the first woman to win the JICA class of the Stars of Karting Championship East Division in the United States.

In 2017, Calderon became a development driver for the Sauber Formula One (F1) team, which a year later elevated her status from F1 development driver to F1 test driver for Alfa Romeo Racing, making her the first Latin American woman to drive in Formula One. 

While Calderon is the latest example, the journey began more than 100 years ago, when Maria Antonietta d’Avanzo took the wheel of an Alfa race car.

Maria Antonietta d’Avanzo
Shortly after World War I, Baroness Maria Antonietta d’Avanzo debuted with Alfa Romeo. A pioneer of Italian motorsports, an aviator and a journalist, d’Avanzo won third place with the Alfa Romeo 20-30 ES on the Brescia circuit in 1921 and proved her worth in many competitions as a formidable opponent for the best drivers of the time, including a young Enzo Ferrari. Baroness d’Avanzo raced until the 1940s in a variety of vehicles and races, in every corner of the planet.  

Odette Siko
In the 1930s, Alfa Romeo asserted itself among the main protagonists of motorsports. This was the merit of extraordinary vehicles, but also of drivers who became part of the legend: these are the years of Nuvolari, Varzi, Caracciola and Sommer. The latter won the 24 Hour of Le Mans race in 1932 behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, but the Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS of the fascinating Odette Siko finished fourth overall and won the 2.0-liter category. A young Parisian, Siko quickly became a star with her racing performances, often in the company of another French female racer whose destiny also crossed Alfa Romeo’s path several times: Hellè Nice.

Hellè Nice
Born Mariette Hèlène Delangle, she was a model, acrobat and dancer known by the artistic name of Hellè-Nice. Known for her outgoing personality, Nice was a friend of the Rothschilds and the Bugattis. She raced in Europe and America and became one of the first drivers to display the brands of her sponsors on the bodywork of a race car. She participated in the 1933 Italian Grand Prix in Monza with her own 8C 2300 Monza — the tragic race in which Campari, Borzacchini and Czaikowski lost their lives. In 1936, she won the Ladies Cup in Montecarlo and participated in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix in Brazil, where she had a terrible accident. 

Anna Maria Peduzzi
The years of Scuderia Ferrari wrote a fundamental chapter in Alfa Romeo’s history. Among the drivers of the «Prancing Horse» was Como-born Anna Maria Peduzzi, the wife of driver Franco Comotti, who was nicknamed the «Moroccan.» After her debut on board her own Alfa Romeo 6C 1500 Super Sport, which she had purchased from Ferrari himself, Peduzzi almost always raced alone and only occasionally with her husband. In 1934, she won the 1500 Class at the Mille Miglia and, in the post-war period, she raced with the Alfa Romeo 1900 Sprint and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta.

Ada Pace («Sayonara»)
In the 1950s another driver reached outstanding results behind the wheel of several Alfa Romeos: Turin-born Ada Pace. Throughout her decade-long career, Pace won 11 national speed races, six in the Tourism category and five in the Sports category. Almost always enrolled in the races with her pseudonym «Sayonara,» she reached her main successes with the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce and the Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ, with which she even won the Trieste-Opicina race in 1958.

Christine Beckers and Liane Engeman
The 1960s were the years of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA. Its results, victories and importance in Alfa Romeo’s history are well known. Less known, on the other hand, are the events of the (supercharged) Alfa Romeo GTA-SA. Prepared in 10 units for Group 5, the GTA-SA was equipped with two hydraulically operated centrifugal compressors that boosted output to 220 horsepower for a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h). It reached peak performance, but as historical test driver from Autodelta Teodoro Zeccoli explained: «an unpredictable boost of power would kick in suddenly without notice, making the SA an unpredictable vehicle, hard to govern in curves or maneuvering situations.»

Someone who was able to govern this ill-tempered vehicle better than anyone else was the young Belgian driver Christine Beckers, who won in Houyet in 1968 and achieved excellent results the following year as well: in Condroz, at the «Tre Ponti,» in Herbeumont and in Zandvoort. Beckers, however, was not the only driver to distinguish herself in the GTA. With the Alfa Romeo 1300 Junior of Toine Hezemans’ team, the fast Dutch driver Liane Engeman, who was later chosen by Alfa Romeo as a model, reached distinction.

Susanna «Susy» Raganelli
Possibly the only woman to have won a world championship on four wheels was Roman-born Susanna «Susy» Raganelli, who in 1966 won the 100cc Kart World Championship, defeating Leif Engstrom and the great Ronnie Peterson. Raganelli forever linked her name to Alfa Romeo when she ended her career behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo GTA, but she was also the first Italian buyer of one of just 12 units produced of the legendary 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.

Maria Grazia Lombardi and Anna Cambiaghi
After Maria Teresa de Filippis in the 1950s, the second Italian woman to drive in a Formula One race – in as many as 13 Grands Prix – was Maria Grazia «Lella» Lombardi. Between 1982 and 1984, she participated in the European Tourism Championship with the Alfa Romeo GTV6 2.5 together with Anna Cambiaghi, Giancarlo Naddeo, Giorgio Francia and Rinaldo Drovandi, and contributed to bringing home multiple titles.

Tamara Vidali
When the newly born Alfa Corse department once again launched Alfa Romeo’s racing activities, the era of Tamara Vidali began: a woman racer who won the Italian Tourism Championship in 1992 (Group N) behind the wheel of an Alfa Romeo 33 1.7 Quadrifoglio Verde. 

Alfa Romeo
Born in 1910 in Milan, Italy, Alfa Romeo has designed and crafted some of the most stylish and sporty cars in automotive history. That tradition lives on today as Alfa Romeo continues to take a unique and innovative approach to designing automobiles. The Alfa Romeo Stelvio sets a new benchmark in performance, style and technology in an SUV. The award-winning Alfa Romeo Giulia delivers race-inspired performance, advanced technologies and an exhilarating driving experience to the premium midsize sedan segment. The Giulia Quadrifoglio and the Stelvio Quadrifoglio feature Alfa Romeo’s most powerful production engine ever with unsurpassed 0-60 mph times of 3.8 and 3.6 seconds respectively, and embody Alfa Romeo’s «la meccanica delle emozioni» (the mechanics of emotion) spirit. Alfa Romeo is part of the portfolio of brands offered by leading global automaker and mobility provider Stellantis.

As the world evolves following the pandemic, Sun celebrates female success and calls out areas for greater efforts, laying out a vision for how the world can emerge strong together in this piece.

Jane Sun, CEO of Trip.com Group, a powerful force in the travel industry as one of only a few women leaders in the sector

Emerging Stronger Together 
by Jane Sun, CEO, Trip.com Group

The global fight against COVID-19 has defined the past year. Around the world, we battled one of the biggest challenges we have ever faced as a global community. Yet throughout this crisis, women around the world have shone. Frontline healthcare workers, essential workers, working mothers, and national leaders have all embodied a spirit of perseverance and strength that truly reflect the feelings I have when I think of International Women’s’ Day.

This year, more so than others, provides us with an opportunity to truly reflect on two crucial actions. To recognize and champion female success across life and around the world, and identify where more can be done to achieve gender equality.

At Trip.com Group, we are proud to be home to an over 50% female workforce. We see the benefits of this every day. Our staff showed incredible resilience, flexibility and initiative during the pandemic. Frontline customer service agents were in constant communication with customers to ensure they could get home safely, helping them make booking changes or secure the refund they required. We were able to pivot to provide crucial travel information to users on border restrictions and travel requirements, as well as update hotel and flight listings to display crucial COVID-19 notices. These achievements, and our continuous innovation to ensure we can keep serving our customers and partners as the travel industry evolves, is delivered by a company where women and men succeed together.

According to the Asian Development Bank, China has one of Asia-Pacific’s highest labor force participation rates for women, but the percentage of women in work has decreased in recent years. In 2019, women made up 43.7% of the total labor force, yet the proportion of the women in the workforce has decreased overall since the 1990s. This is a worrying trend that must be counterbalanced with a concerted effort to remove barriers to women entering and finding success in the workplace.

Women need equal opportunities in the labor market, where they can access employment without bias or prejudice. Decision-makers need to step up and take important strides to foster greater equality in leadership and workforces. We need to employ methods to actively support female staff and to make available opportunities for success. This must be done in tandem with reforming unfair practices and stopping the perpetuation of biases.

Working for change and leading with confidence, women in leadership today are having true global impact. We must celebrate and learn from Jacinda Ardern, Erna Solberg, Katrín Jakobsdóttir and female leaders around the world who showed what strong leadership looks like in such challenging times. Research shows female leaders scored higher in the majority of leadership competencies compared to their male counterparts, that they were often more direct in their concerns and showed higher levels of confidence in their responses. These characteristics and abilities are not uniquely female, they can be developed by any individual. When we recognize and champion behaviors and examples of success, they bring benefit to us all and help to improve society.

Women in leadership, especially strong successful female leaders, shouldn’t be unique or rare, yet they often are. Subtle, and sometimes obvious, gender bias affect the chances of achieving leadership positions in organizations. Women earn more than 57% of undergraduate degrees and 59% of all master’s degrees, and are quickly approaching half of all pursuing MBAs. However, only 6% of S&P 500 companies are led by women CEOs. These numbers clearly show that there are opaque obstacles to women’s mobility on the hierarchical ladder. The gender imbalance in boardrooms isn’t limited to one specific nation or region. According to research conducted by Grant Thorton, in 2020 in APAC, women held only 27% of senior managerial positions, one of the lowest proportions globally. 

At Trip.com Group, we champion female success. We purposefully celebrate women in leadership, implement gender-inclusive employment policies and foster a positive work culture. Through these efforts, we have been able to attract female talent and create a company where women hold 41% of mid-level managerial positions and over 30% of executive posts.

We can all do more to ensure we have a diversity of voices in boardrooms, offices and workspaces around the world. I am an ardent believer that the most successful teams are those made up with a balance of genders. Our goal in pursuing gender equality is to ensure equal opportunity and rewards for success for all individuals, regardless of gender.

Whereas the past year will be remembered in history for the huge bearing COVID-19 had on the world, we are positive for the future. Women in leadership have global impact, and we must continue to champion them and the achievements of women around the world. We have weathered the storm of the pandemic together. Now, as we gain control and begin to exit this crisis, let’s grasp this opportunity to emerge stronger together.

New PureProtect 365 by RideKleen Delivers One-Year Odor Control Guarantee

ATLANTA, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — To reinforce its pledge to deliver long-term solutions to more sustainable vehicle hygiene, mobile vehicle care leader RideKleen introduces PureProtect 365, a new antimicrobial solution delivering guaranteed odor control for up to one year1.

ATLANTA, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — To reinforce its pledge to deliver long-term solutions to more sustainable vehicle hygiene, mobile vehicle care leader RideKleen introduces PureProtect 365, a new antimicrobial solution delivering guaranteed odor control for up to one year1. PureProtect 365 by RideKleen features an XMicrobe™ solution from Xzilon® that offers a lasting biostatic layer that punctures the thin lipid exterior of odor causing germs, viruses and bacteria, neutralizing threats that land on treated surfaces. The PureProtect 365 product also protects against stains from spills, grease, dye transfer and UV fading, and leaves the surface easier to clean.

The purchase of PureProtect 365 by RideKleen includes a one-year warranty where if odor is noticed inside of the vehicle within one year of application, a warranty claim can be made, and reapplication will be conducted by Xzilon’s expansive mobile network which can reach anywhere in the U.S.

Vehicle odor is one of the first signs of germs being present. These odors can often linger by becoming trapped in the vehicle, especially in upholstery carpet, fabric interiors and air conditioning systems. This is reason enough for 63% of rental customers and 59% of rideshare users to request a new vehicle, creating more work for operators and negatively impacting the customer experience2.

«RideKleen’s charge to rethink clean extends beyond the current pandemic,» said Pratik Patel, president of RideKleen. «With a focus on the customer experience, we’re equipping vehicle owners, fleet operators and other mobility service providers with the now-essential sanitization and disinfection solutions to drive consumer confidence and overall vehicle safety.»                                        

A Worthwhile Investment in Vehicle Protection
According to the Cox Automotive 2020 Cox Automotive COVID-19 Consumer Impact Study, nearly half of vehicle shoppers (47%) are willing to pay for extended sanitization services. This could mean more revenue for automotive dealers, as well as car wash operators offering this enhanced level of service. Moreover, with the on-demand economy showing no signs of slowing, fleet owners and operators are also in a good position to reap the benefits from PureProtect 365 by RideKleen. In the same survey, these numbers increased substantially with gig drivers – 81% of ride-share drivers and 75% of food delivery drivers – willing to pay for long-term vehicle protection.

Protection Proven to Last
In May 2020, RideKleen introduced PureProtect, an eco-conscious hospital grade cleaner and disinfectant from Caring Brands that sanitizes and disinfects the entire vehicle, including the interior cabin, A/C ventilation system, trunk and cargo areas. The EPA-registered and approved antimicrobial cleaner that is food safe and made in the United States is approved for use on hard and soft surfaces and kills up to 99.9% of germs, bacteria, mold, mildew and emerging viruses. Moreover, unlike most solutions offering temporary protection, PureProtect by RideKleen provides an ongoing residual effect to inhibit the growth of harmful mold and mildew for up to four weeks post-treatment – keeping vehicles protected for an extended period of time.
