Project Save Hospitality Launches To Aid 8 Million Workers Unemployed By Pandemic

NEW YORK, Dec. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The hospitality industry has been devastated by COVID-19, with 7.7 million jobs lost and 47% of hospitality professionals laid off. A new initiative called Project Save Hospitality seeks to shine a light on this hardworking, talented workforce, and show HR professionals and recruiters just how easily their skills can transfer over to other industries.

Project Save Hospitality was founded by Melissa DelBuono and Kingsley Egbuchunam, who were laid off from their jobs in the hotel industry and decided to come together to help their colleagues. They realized that many of their peers will not have jobs to return to, and those who are fortunate enough to retain their jobs will likely do so at a lower salary. This is especially true in New York City, a tourist and financial hub where over 500 hotels and countless restaurants are closed due to the pandemic. A full recovery is years away.

As DelBuono and Egbuchunam started talking to employers outside of hospitality, it became clear that they were unaware of the many skills hospitality workers have and how easily those skills transfer to other careers. Project Save Hospitality’s goal is to foster professional development, which includes resume-writing assistance, job coaching and the execution of a virtual career fair in conjunction with Brazen, the job fair platform. We will also focus on our industry’s diversity, with a commitment to achieving equality in the job market for the LGBTQ+ community, all races and genders, and underrepresented/underserved minorities. «Project Save Hospitality will bring light to a diverse and talented community that is typically passed over,» said Melissa DelBuono, PSH founder & CEO. «The career creativity, work ethic, team spirit and brilliance that this workforce can provide, can make a huge difference and create value in so many other industries.»

The virtual career fair is being hosted by Brazen, a cutting-edge company that builds virtual events. «Project Save Hospitality’s mission to save jobs, especially for the disproportionate number of minorities in the hospitality industry, aligns with Brazen’s goal to provide career conversations and resources to this underrepresented and underserved group as part of the Brazen Opportunity Fund,» said Joe Matar, Brazen’s vice president of marketing. «This group was severely impacted by COVID-19 and we are honored to partner with them to connect those job seekers with employers in other industries through Brazen’s virtual career fair platform. There is no better time than now to help those struggling with employment as a result of the ongoing pandemic.»

Project Save Hospitality co-founder Kingsley Egbuchunam agrees: «The hospitality Industry has always provided entertainment, comfort, refuge and normalcy for its clientele, bringing professionalism, empathy and enthusiasm to the job regardless of circumstances. It is important that we do not turn our back on those who made us feel special during their time of need.»

Project Save Hospitality will be holding their Virtual Career on January 28^th, 2021. Companies who would like to participate can reach out via email to projectsavehospitalityteam@gmail.com. To learn more about Project Save Hospitality, to donate, help publicize our work, or participate in our job fair, please visit https://projectsavehospitality.org or find us on Facebook and LinkedIn.

Global Digital Solutions, Inc. Provides Business Update on Automotive and Aviation Technology Solutions

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Global Digital Solutions, Inc. (OTC: GDSI), a Company that is positioning itself as a leader in Automotive and Aviation Technology Solutions, provides a corporate update from CEO William Delgado.

We are very pleased to announce that our ongoing legal…

We are very pleased to announce that our ongoing legal complaint against Rontan Metalurgica and the Bolzan brothers is reaching a close. Our legal team has filed the final finding of fact and we expect the court’s ruling sometime in late January of 2021. Global Digital Solutions has asked for Specific Performance (the Company and Plant in Brazil) and incidental damages of approximately $192,000,000, not including legal fees incurred by our team at Boies Schiller Flexner. We firmly believe that our legal team of Boies Schiller Flexner, as well as William Isaacson of Paul Weiss, are arguably the most respected attorneys regarding cross-border matters and will ultimately bring this judgment to a successful closure. We fully appreciate and understand the time it takes for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida to formally rule on this complex matter.

Automotive Technology

Upon completion of the aforementioned legal proceeding, the Company intends to leverage our experience gained from engineering and assembly of mobile command centers through its NACSV subsidiary into the vastly expanding Electric Vehicle (EV) and Automotive Artificial Intelligence (AAI) sector. Although we do not intend to become a full-service manufacturer, we believe that we have the ability to provide support to the industry through parts, service, logistics and software development. We also expect to rely on our AI partner, Consolidated Ocean Technology, Inc. (COTS) for work in this area.

Aviation Technology

The Company has continued its development of the PALS system in 2020. We have conducted preliminary flight testing and expect to announce additional testing after the first of the year. We also have been working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and selected OEMS to incorporate the system into their respective flight protocols. While development has been somewhat slowed due to the Covid-19 situation, we expect activity to pick up in 2021. The Company is also looking at other applications for the PALS technology, specifically related to noise abatement to address aviation challenges that have been fueled by the astronomical growth of aviation. This effort has led to VSAT (Vertical Stacking Air Traffic) Management System. GDSI’s interest in VSAT has resulted in a VSAT provisional patent application.. We continue to look for additional aviation technology acquisition candidates that we may obtain in the future to augment our offerings.

Lastly, I would like to thank all of our shareholders and employees for their valuable support over this past year. We eagerly await 2021 and the possibilities that it holds for our Company.

About Global Digital Solutions, Inc.

Global Digital Solutions, Inc. (OTC:GDSI), a company that is positioning itself as a leader in Automotive and Aviation Technology Solutions, continues to enhance shareholder value in these areas. In addition to our acquisition strategy, the Company has initiated a lawsuit for damages against Grupo Rontan Metalurgica, S. A, («Rontan») and that company’s controlling shareholders, Joao Alberto Bolzan and Jose Carlos Bolzan. The Company has engaged the law firm of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP to represent it in this action. The case will be handled by William Isaacson of the firm’s Washington office and Carlos Sires of the firm’s Fort Lauderdale office (Their professional profiles are available at https://bsfllp.com/lawyers). The action has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The complaint alleges that «Rontan is wholly-owned by Joao Bolzan and Jose Bolzan. It is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of original equipment for specialty vehicles for emergency management, first responders, national security, and law enforcement operations. The company also acquired NACSV, a supplier of Mobile Command Centers to Military, Law Enforcement, and First Responders. In August of 2019, the Company acquired HarmAlarm. HA was formed in 2002 as a private Texas company to pursue Infrared commercial applications in the aviation services area. HA has developed a system known as Precision Approach Landing System (PALS). PALS provides a high performance state of the art enhanced Situation Awareness capability for the pilot. The precision and robustness of PALS has generated a host of new applications mainly through «landing trajectory» optimization which provides additional safety margin against weather related hazardous conditions, such as wind shear, wake turbulence, icing, as well as low ceilings and fog.

Ontario International Airport: Optimism for 2021 after a challenging 2020

ONTARIO, Calif., Dec. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As the year of the unimaginable came to close, Ontario International Airport (ONT) took stock of the challenges of 2020 and expressed a sense of optimism for the possibilities of the New Year.

<img…

In the closing days of the year – what many consider the worst in the history of commercial aviation – officials noted ONT’s emerging recovery, among the quickest of U.S. airports, and the recently announced addition or resumption of service to key destinations.

«When 2020 began, Ontario was Southern California’s newest international aviation gateway and the fastest growing airport in the U.S., in just its fourth year under local control,» said Alan D. Wapner, Mayor pro Tem of the City of Ontario and President of the OIAA Board of Commissioners. «An attractive low-cost airport for commercial airlines, major e-commerce hub for air cargo shippers and a driver for the region’s economy, Ontario was the airport we’d hoped it would be just a few years ago. With the vision of our commission and the dedicated service of our staff, I can say unquestionably that Ontario holds as much, if not more, promise today than it did before the pandemic. And as coronavirus vaccines become available to more Americans, I am optimistic we will see a return to more normal travel routines in 2021.»

Despite the immediate challenges in the early stages of the pandemic, there were many encouraging signs:

ONT recorded six straight months of traffic growth between April and October, regaining almost 50% of passenger volume compared to 2019, making its recovery first among airports in California and third nationally.
The airport enhanced cleaning practices and instituted new sanitization measures throughout passenger terminals designed to protect air travelers, greeters, employees and other visitors. More information on the airport’s sanitization measures is available here.
ONT launched an airport-wide initiative, ONTo What Matters Most, bringing life to the Airport’s mission of providing a clean & safe journey that connects people, places and experiences.
Airlines resumed or initiated new service from ONT to five destinations in 2020 including Atlanta, Chicago (Midway), Houston (Intercontinental), Seattle and Mexico City;
Airlines announced flights to another nine markets by Spring 2021 including Chicago (O’Hare) Honolulu, Las Vegas, Miami, Newark, Orlando, Phoenix, Sacramento and San Francisco;
ONT hosted a sold-out summer drive-in movie series and added app-based ride hail operator Wingz to its ground transportation program to increase access to the airport; and
In the Fall ONT established a drive-thru COVID-19 testing site which provides results in as few as 20 minutes.

While the coronavirus pandemic impacted air travel in ways not seen before, ONT’s role as an air cargo destination – a bright spot before the pandemic – took off in 2020, growing 20% year over year

In November, FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp., completed a $100 million, two-year transformation of its ONT operations, the centerpiece of which is a 251,000 square-foot complex which includes a state-of-the-art sorting facility capable of handling 12,000 packages per hour, nine wide-body aircraft gates, 14 feeder aircraft gates and 18 truck docks.

The redeveloped parcel of more than 50 acres and its modern facilities, along with a 30-year lease extension, cemented ONT’s role as a major cargo hub in North America.

«We can never forget the pandemic’s toll on human life,» said Mark Thorpe, chief executive officer of the OIAA. «Likewise, we will always remember how we adjusted at Ontario airport, challenged ourselves to adapt and collaborated with so many partners to ensure that travel through our international gateway is safe. We faced an unprecedented threat in 2020, and what we learned about our ability to persevere under the most difficult circumstances will serve our airport, our customers and the Inland Empire well as we move into 2021.»

About Ontario International Airport
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is the fastest growing airport in the United States, according to Global Traveler, a leading publication for frequent fliers. Located in the Inland Empire, ONT is approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles in the center of Southern California. It is a full-service airport which, before the coronavirus pandemic, offered nonstop commercial jet service to 26 major airports in the U.S., Mexico and Taiwan.

About the Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA)
The OIAA was formed in August 2012 by a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Ontario and the County of San Bernardino to provide overall direction for the management, operations, development and marketing of ONT for the benefit of the Southern California economy and the residents of the airport’s four-county catchment area. OIAA Commissioners are Ontario Mayor Pro Tem Alan D. Wapner (President), Retired Riverside Mayor Ronald O. Loveridge (Vice President), Ontario City Council Member Jim W. Bowman (Secretary), San Bernardino County Supervisor Curt Hagman (Commissioner) and retired business executive Julia Gouw (Commissioner).
