The 2021 Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon 392 – packed with 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque from its 6.4-liter V-8, full-time 4×4, functional hood scoop, a dual-mode performance exhaust, and a long list of premium features standard, including a sport steering wheel with shift paddles and leather-covered performance seats – is on-road and off-road ready with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $73,500 (excluding $1,495 destination) for this launch edition.

«Our Jeep enthusiasts asked us for a Wrangler powered by a V-8 engine, and we listened.

U-Haul Store in Lake Forest Closes Retail Showroom after 24 Years

LAKE FOREST, Calif., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — U-Haul of Lake Forest at 23211 Olive Ave. closed its retail showroom and ceased most on-site services on Feb. 22.

<img…

LAKE FOREST, Calif., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — U-Haul of Lake Forest at 23211 Olive Ave. closed its retail showroom and ceased most on-site services on Feb. 22.

The location served self-movers in and around the Lake Forest community for 24 years.

The Olive Avenue store had operated on two parcels of land: a 16,500-square-foot tract with the retail building, which U-Haul® plans to maintain for future use; and a 7,000-square-foot tract the Company had been leasing, but will no longer do so.

Local residents can continue to have all their moving needs met just 0.3 miles away at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Lake Forest at 25290 Jeronimo Road, former site of Laguna Hills Nursery. The new store offers truck and trailer sharing, moving supplies and boxes, towing equipment and professional hitch installation, U-Box® portable storage containers and more.

U-Haul Moving & Storage of Lake Forest also has 1,133 self-storage units for rent with climate-control options and high-tech security features at affordable price points. Propane will soon be available on the 3.08-acre lot.

Contact the store at (949) 768-4681 or stop by to see general manager Philip Guerra and his team. Hours of operation are 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Thursday and Saturday; 7 a.m.-8 p.m. Friday; and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday. Reserve equipment at uhaul.com or contact Reservations at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.

Local U-Haul Companies are always exploring opportunities for growth as they pursue means to better serve the needs of customers, but sometimes find it necessary to close or relocate stores. Reasons for closures can include: long-term strategic plans; physical plant limitations; shifts in demographics; trends in migration; expansion of the U-Haul neighborhood dealer network; and proximity to other new or existing U-Haul stores.

As a result of the closing showroom and services at 23211 Olive Ave., 14 Team Members were let go.

As an essential service provider, U-Haul has remained open throughout the COVID-19 outbreak while offering contactless programs and enhanced cleaning protocols, including added steps for sanitizing equipment between customer transactions. U-Haul products are used daily by First Responders; delivery companies bringing needed supplies to people’s homes; small businesses trying to remain afloat; college students; and countless other dependent groups, in addition to the household mover.

Please visit uhaul.com/announcement for more information on how U-Haul is keeping its Team Members and customers safe.

Spirit will start up daily nonstop flights to Orlando (MCO), Las Vegas (LAS) and MKE’s only nonstop flight to Los Angeles (LAX), bringing Spirit Signature Service, brand new Airbus planes and industry-leading low fares to the market.

Las Vegas (LAS)	Daily	June 24, 2021
Los Angeles (LAX)	Daily	June 24, 2021
Orlando (MCO)	Daily	June 24, 2021

Spirit will be the only airline serving Los Angeles nonstop from Milwaukee, removing intermediate stops on the way and making quick trips between the two cities easier than ever. The airline continues to seize that kind of growth opportunity as demand for air travel increases. Earlier this month, the carrier announced an accelerated delivery schedule for new Airbus aircraft joining Spirit’s Fit Fleet™, which is among the youngest in the industry.

«We know that Milwaukee residents love to travel, and adding a new airline provides even more opportunities to connect with friends, family, and business partners in other states,» Airport Director Brian Dranzik said. «Spirit’s legendary low fares will make it even more affordable for people from all walks of life to fly to and from Milwaukee.»

Orlando also serves as one of Spirit’s biggest international gateways to the Caribbean and Latin America, providing access to numerous countries.

«Milwaukee has some of the best weather in the U.S. during the summer, and these new routes make it easy for visitors to experience Wisconsin’s world-class golf courses, breweries, and lakefront,» Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley said. «Attracting a new airline is a major accomplishment, and I commend the entire Airport team for bringing Spirit Airlines to MKE, which will create jobs and bring more economic impact to Milwaukee County.»

This year is off to a great start at Spirit Airlines. In addition to the opportunity to serve the Milwaukee-area market, in January, the carrier launched its new Free Spirit® loyalty program, which is the fastest way to earn rewards and status.* Spirit is also one of only three U.S. airlines listed on FORTUNE’s 2021 list of World’s Most Admired® Companies, which measures companies with the strongest reputation within their industries. Spirit also earned «Platinum» status as the highest-rated low-fare carrier in the world by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) Health Safety initiative powered by SimpliFlying.

Guest Safety  
Spirit’s commitment to Safe Travels includes a multi-layered safety approach that requires all Guests and Team Members to wear face coverings. Each passenger agrees to that policy as part of a health and safety acknowledgement prior to boarding the aircraft. Every plane in our Fit Fleet® uses state-of-the-art, high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that capture 99.97% of particles and filter the air for contaminants every 3 minutes.

Between each flight, enhanced cleaning procedures focus on high-touch areas such as tray tables and armrests using hospital-grade disinfectants. Spirit also uses two EPA-registered fogging treatments. The first applies a safe, high-grade disinfectant that’s effective against coronaviruses. The second uses an antimicrobial product that forms an invisible barrier on all surfaces that kills bacteria and viruses on contact for 30 days. Please visit Spirit’s COVID-19 Information Center for more information on safety enhancements.

*Based on points earned on published fares (excluding sale fares) and optional services using the Free Spirit Credit Card (the «Card»), and includes status qualifying points earned by spending on Spirit and everyday purchases using the Card.

FlowPlay Joins the Coalition for App Fairness to Drive Change Across App Publishing Ecosystems

SEATTLE and WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Coalition for App Fairness (CAF), today announced that <a…

SEATTLE and WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Coalition for App Fairness (CAF), today announced that FlowPlay, creator of one of the most powerful connected gaming platforms, has joined its membership to advocate for freedom of choice and fair competition across the app ecosystem. With FlowPlay’s support, CAF totals more than 50 members, including Epic Games, Grove Street Games and Match Group, among others.

«As a representative of the games industry and a longtime critic of today’s app store models, FlowPlay is an important addition to the coalition,» said Meghan DiMuzio, executive director of the Coalition for App Fairness. «Developers in the games industry are directly affected by unfair App Store policies and the separate rulebook Apple creates to benefit its own products, like Apple Arcade. We appreciate that leaders like FlowPlay have spoken out on this issue over the years, and we look forward to working with the growing number of CAF’s gaming industry members to advocate for changes that provide more consumer freedom, lower costs, and increase the ability for developers to continue innovating.»

FlowPlay first launched its newest title, Live Game Night, in early 2020 on desktop only, intentionally opting out of the most popular app stores due to concerns over their anticompetitive practices. Its online game, Casino World, also made its mobile debut via browser. These difficult decisions came as the demand for games surged in 2020, and further growth is forecasted for 2021 as people continue to seek safe options for entertainment and social connection during COVID-19. Without fair competition across the app ecosystem, game developers are prevented from reaping the full benefits of this trend.

«The current monopolies in mobile app publishing perpetuate ineffective closed models that disproportionately penalize independent game developers and gamers,» said Derrick Morton, CEO of FlowPlay. «The Coalition for App Fairness is highly organized in addressing these issues through global lobbying, establishing partnerships across industries and facilitating important conversations among technology companies. We look forward to partnering with fellow coalition members in 2021 and supporting key initiatives that benefit small and emerging developers. FlowPlay joins CAF in support of efforts to make it easier for developers to launch their games, connect with players, and grow revenues on a level playing field.»
