OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Berrett-Koehler Publishers is proud to announce this new book.

New Book by Denise Collazo – «Thriving in the Fight: A Survival Manual for Latinas on the Front Lines of Change» – Publishes February 23, 2021

Denise Padín Collazo, longtime activist, nonprofit thought leader, and senior adviser for Faith in Action, will release her first book, «Thriving in the Fight: A Survival Manual for Latinas on the Front Lines of Change.»

At a time when so many in this country are struggling to contend with a new era of racial and gender oppression, we need the power, the wisdom, and the experience of women of color now more than ever, said Rev. Alvin Herring, Faith in Action executive director. Denise’s book is a clarion call to Latinas in the movement—and to the rest of us—that they are ready and poised to lead with hope, love, and light.

Drawing on her own experiences of triumph and failure, along with stories from fellow leading Latina activists, Collazo discusses three keys to thriving in the movement for social change: leading into your vision, living into the fullest version of yourself, and loving past negatives that hold you back. She also lays out three signs that you may be surrendering: wishing for a future reality to emerge, wondering where your limits are, and waiting for permission and answers to come from others. As well, she explains how you can integrate family and work, step out of the background and claim your leadership potential, confront anti-Blackness in your own culture, keep focused on your ultimate purpose, and raise the necessary resources to keep fighting for justice.

Collazo is the first Latina, the first woman of color, and the first woman period to raise a family and stay in the work of community organizing at Faith in Action, an international progressive network of 3,000 congregations and 2 million members. A social justice leader and gifted speaker, Collazo’s work has been featured in the Miami Herald, Nonprofit Quarterly and Forbes.com, and she serves on the Forbes Nonprofit Council. She is a graduate of Harvard University, and resides in Puerto Rico. http://www.DeniseCollazo.com

WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DuPont Clean Technologies today announced it has signed a contract with ISAB S.r.l. («ISAB», wholly owned by LUKOIL) to revamp the refinery’s existing trickle bed diesel hydrotreater at the Priolo Refinery in Siracusa, Italy with the IsoTherming® Hydroprocessing Technology. ISAB commissioned DuPont for the project in an effort to increase unit capacity to a target of 205 m3/hr (31,000 bpsd), while also extending catalyst cycle length.

IsoTherming® Diesel Hydrotreaters enable refiners to produce high-quality, low-sulfur fuels that comply with increasingly stringent environmental requirements, but at lower energy consumption rates and operating costs than trickle bed hydroprocessing units. The IsoTherming® technology is commercially proven to process a wide range of feedstocks, from kerosene to vacuum gas oil, including 100 percent light cycle oil. The units are designed to provide refiners with consistent utility savings of 30-60% and capital cost savings potential up to 30% compared to trickle bed technologies.

«We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with ISAB on this project,» said Kevin Bockwinkel, global business manager, IsoTherming® Hydroprocessing Technology. «In addition to producing high-quality, low sulfur fuels, our IsoTherming® technology will grant ISAB the opportunity to process more difficult, cracked feedstock without sacrificing product quality all while extending catalyst cycle length. Utilizing the IsoTherming® technology allows us to accomplish all of this without additional catalyst volume, thus maximizing the benefit to the refinery without the need for significant capital investment. We look forward to expanding upon our strong relationship with ISAB and continuing it for years to come.»

Startup of the IsoTherming® Diesel Hydrotreater at the Priolo Refinery is expected to take place by 2024.

The IsoTherming® hydroprocessing technology utilizes a novel liquid-phase reactor system offering distinct advantages over conventional hydroprocessing technologies in that it uses hydrogen and catalyst more efficiently. The IsoTherming® hydroprocessing technology is suitable for a wide range of applications, including 100% kerosene hydrotreating, 100% light cycle oil (LCO) hydrotreating, transmix hydrotreating, diesel hydrotreating, FCC feed hydrotreating (VGO hydrotreating), mild hydrocracking, dewaxing, gas-to-liquid (GTL) upgrading, and heavy oil upgrading for both grassroots and revamp configurations. Licensed and marketed by DuPont as part of its Clean Technologies portfolio, the IsoTherming® technology has been licensed in 27 refineries worldwide with capacities ranging from 1,500 bpd (82 kmta) to 80,000 bpd (3,900 kmta), offering refiners a lower CAPEX and OPEX solution than conventional hydroprocessing options.

Para ver el comunicado de prensa multimedia, haga clic en: https://www.multivu.com/players/uk/8854851-hopium-confirms-hydrogen-sedan-prototype-coming-june-2021/.

El fabricante francés Hopium, que cotiza en la Bolsa de Valores de París desde finales del año pasado, tiene como objetivo convertirse en el líder mundial en movilidad por hidrógeno con el lanzamiento de su vehículo para 2025.

Para lograr esta hazaña industrial, Olivier Lombard, director ejecutivo y fundador de Hopium, se ha rodeado de un equipo de especialistas que incluye al diseñador de automóviles Félix Godard (anterior colaborador de Porsche, Tesla y más recientemente Lucid Motors), el responsable del elegante diseño y las líneas aerodinámicas del Hopium Māchina; y Loïc Bouillo, director de Programas (previo colaborador de PSA y Safran), que está a cargo de instrumentar el desarrollo del vehículo y su plataforma tecnológica.

Esta plataforma única, anunciada a fines de enero, establece los estándares para una próxima generación de automóviles de hidrógeno. Ha sido específicamente diseñado para trabajar con el elemento más abundante de la tierra y llevarlo a su más alto nivel.

El modelo, equipado con tecnologías patentadas revolucionarias, promete rendimientos inigualables para un vehículo de hidrógeno: más de 500 hp y más de 1000 km de alcance (más de 629 millas) para un tiempo de llenado récord de solo 3 minutos. A futuro, combinará hiperconectividad, seguridad y ergonomía en una cabina que es deportiva y cómoda, a la vez que satisface los desafíos ambientales de nuestra era.

El prototipo, que actualmente se encuentra en una etapa avanzada de fabricación, es el primero de una serie pensada para validar las diversas tecnologías de vanguardia incorporadas en el vehículo. Constituye un paso importante en la preparación rigurosa de su industrialización.

Hopium, un fabricante de alta tecnología fundado por Olivier Lombard, el ganador más joven del 24 horas de Le Mans, es el producto de su experiencia como piloto profesional de carreras. 

Olivier Lombard ha conducido autos de carreras impulsados por hidrógeno durante 7 años, lo que lo convierte en el corredor más experimentado del mundo en este campo. La carrera fue como un laboratorio al aire libre que hizo posible que Olivier Lombard y su equipo reflexionaran sobre nuevas soluciones de movilidad para hacer frente a los desafíos medioambientales contemporáneos. Si bien el sector del transporte, por sí solo, es responsable del 20 % de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, la empresa se está posicionando como partícipe en el cambio climático.

Hopium congrega a un equipo de destacados socios y especialistas en la vanguardia de la innovación en los sectores de las celdas de combustible de hidrógeno y la ingeniería automotriz.

This unique platform, unveiled late January, sets the standards for a next generation of hydrogen cars. It has been specifically designed to serve the most abundant element on earth and take it to its highest level.

The model, equipped with revolutionary proprietary technologies, promises unmatched performances for a hydrogen vehicle: 500+ hp and 1000+ km of range (629+ miles) for a record filling time of only 3 minutes. Forward-looking, it will combine hyperconnectivity, safety and ergonomics in a cabin that is both sporty and comfortable, while meeting the environmental challenges of our era.

The prototype, currently in an advanced manufacturing stage, is the first in a series thought out to validate the various cutting-edge technologies incorporated in the vehicle. It constitutes a major step in the rigorous preparation of its industrialization.

A new survey1 from Zillow finds a large majority (70%) of homeowners say they would be comfortable moving to a new home after widespread COVID-19 vaccine distribution, a meaningful bump from the 52% who currently feel that way. That amounts to homeowners in more than 14 million homes feeling newly comfortable moving after widespread vaccination.2

Among homeowners who said the vaccine would impact their decision to sell, nearly four-in-five (78%) said they expect it will make them more likely to move.

This research follows Zillow’s prediction of 7 million home sales this year, nearly 25% more than in 2020, as more sellers regain the confidence to return to the market at a time of incredible demand. Last fall, Zillow research found financial anxiety and ongoing uncertainty was keeping some would-be sellers on the sidelines, depressing inventory. Now survey results find measures of both life and financial uncertainty have decreased: 25% of homeowners reported their life or financial situation was too uncertain this January, compared to 29% who said the same in November. 

Sellers drawn in by more certainty, the vaccine and strong sale prices could help feed a ravenous demand for homes this spring home shopping season. 2020 brought a dramatic acceleration in the speed of the market, with buyers snapping up homes just days after they were listed for sale. That velocity, enabled by the rapid adoption of real estate technology, allowed existing home sales to rise 5.6% while overall inventory fell.

«We expect that the vaccine rollout will likely boost inventory, as sellers become increasingly willing to move despite Covid-19 — resulting in greater numbers of new listings beginning this spring,» says Chris Glynn, principal economist at Zillow. «That injection of inventory could give buyers more options and breathing room in a competitive market. The vaccine, however, will also likely add to already-strong demand, given that most sellers will become buyers as they trade in for a home that better suits their new needs. » 

That already-strong demand is being driven by both demographic and pandemic-led factors. Millennials — often considered the largest generational group in the country — are aging into their peak home-buying years. The generation fueling the Zillow surfing trend is now hitting their mid-30s, the median age of a first-time home buyer.

The Great Reshuffling continues to contribute to unrelenting demand in the for-sale market, as the pandemic has prompted people to rethink how and where they want to live. The freedom to telework has opened up new, affordable housing options all over the country. Real estate tech tools, such as next-generation 3D home virtual tours with interactive floor plans, are enabling shoppers to remotely explore all the possibilities a move could bring.

From January 26th to January 29th, 2021, the survey asked homeowners questions about how the pandemic and widespread distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine would impact their plans to move. 

2 Applied to the American Community Survey’s count of all owner-occupied housing units, 14M represents the gap between those that currently feel comfortable moving and those that expect to after widespread distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.
