«Caesars Palace has a long-standing history in sports from hosting iconic events like the first outdoor hockey game to legendary boxing matches,» said Caesars Entertainment Regional President Gary Selesner. «Stadia, located at the busy Forum Shops entrance, is the embodiment of Caesars’ commitment to sports. It offers a comfortable yet luxe environment for fans to catch the action or wager on their favorite team or championship fight, as well as a state-of-the-art, stylish lounge space to experience beyond the game.»

The 120-seat bar and lounge will be a destination beyond game days, with its modern seating and craft cocktail menu. Stadia’s cocktail menu will feature an array of unique curated selections and an impressive list of highly allocated supreme spirits. These sought-after brands are so rare, they are only available for purchase once a year, with the entire state receiving less than a case. Some of these include Kentucky Owl 10 Year Rye, Pappy Van Winkle 13 Year Rye, Elmer T. Lee 100 Year Tribute and more. Stadia will also carry signature blends of whiskey that are purchased by the barrel, providing guests a one-of-a-kind flavor profile that can only be tasted at Caesars Palace. Food items will also be available via mobile ordering.

Designed by the award-winning global architecture and design firm Rockwell Group, the all-new 2,186-square-foot sports hub will feature the excitement, drama and grandeur of being seated in a live sports arena. Guests can choose to rise above the frenzy and sit at the elevated bar or reserve one of the five VIP leather-wrapped domes, exclusively designed for Stadia Bar. Each dome creates the feeling of sitting within a vintage leather football helmet and gives guests an intimate viewing area with their own LED screen. The domes are lined with a metal mesh and artwork by San Francisco-based public artist and mural painter, Apexer. Guests will also notice sports-inspired design details such as net-like chandeliers, sconces that look like deconstructed baseballs and glove-like leather banquettes. Rockwell Group has previously designed several Caesars Palace venues such as the first Nobu Hotel, one of the largest Nobu restaurants in the world, OMNIA Nightclub and Montecristo Cigar Bar.

Replacing Slice Bar, Stadia will be located adjacent to the Forum Food Court and across from Vanderpump Cocktail Garden.

Stadia will implement Caesars Entertainment, Inc.’s («Caesars») new health and safety protocols, which enhance its existing plans and practices in these areas.

Latinas in Aviation Announces Shakar Soltani As #Pilotina Scholarship Recipient; Soltani receives $5,000 scholarship to continue studies in aviation, aerospace fields

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Fig Factor Media announced Shakar Soltani of Dallas as the winner of the inaugural #PILOTINA Scholarship. Valued at $5,000, the scholarship will help Soltani fulfill her educational dreams in building a career in the aviation and aerospace industries.

Proceeds from the bulk sales of <a target="_blank"…

Proceeds from the bulk sales of «Latinas in Aviation,» an inspirational, nonfiction book presenting the stories of Latinas in this industry by Fig Factor Media, help fund the scholarship. Fig Factor CEO and Founder Jacqueline S. Ruiz said that the inspiration for her to create such a scholarship came from a chance meeting with Evelyn Miralles at the United Nations in New York. Miralles, the former chief principal engineer for the Virtual Reality Laboratory, an astronaut training facility at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, wrote the preface of «Latinas in Aviation.»

«I LOVE aviation because it has changed my life in so many ways and the passion that I feel for the industry leads me to create children’s books, products, the «Latinas in Aviation» book and the Latinas in Aviation Magazine,» said Ruiz, herself a licensed sports pilot. «I want to support young Latinas who want to enter the aviation and aerospace industries. I’m committed with all my heart to help them while I pursue my next license and ratings as a pilot.»

About 20 applicants entered the contest which was open to women ages 18 to 25 of Latin American origin or descent who live in the United States and are pursuing a Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) degree and are seeking to enter the aerospace industry, or be pursuing aviation. Ten judges reviewed the submissions and chose Soltani.

In her essay, Soltani described how she developed a strong work ethic at a young age as she lived in a low-income household with her Iranian-born father, Mexican-born mother and five siblings. While earning a Bachelor of Arts in business administration in marketing from Texas Woman’s University, she was one of 132 selected from almost 10,000 applicants to participate in Southwest Airlines’ internship program. It was a rewarding experience as she developed critical thinking skills and learned how to collaborate and consult with the Southwest Corporate Sales team.

Soltani graduated in 2017. After her internship, she became a flight attendant for Spirit Airlines, and her love of aviation flourished. Her interest in becoming a pilot came from meeting one of the airline’s 68 women pilots who became a mentor and invited her to the 2019 Women in Aviation Conference. Soltani signed up for a discovery flight and never looked back. She has been active in 11 aviation organizations, volunteered for 16 career days, and has been a speaker.

There have been challenges and sorrows that put Soltani on an emotional rollercoaster ride of depression, anxiety, intimidation, and exhaustion. Last year, she lost two family members to COVID-19 and put her dream of completing her private pilot certification process on hold due to the expensive costs of aviation school. Working as a substitute teacher for the Dallas Independent School District, it will take Soltani many years to save up to attend aviation school. The scholarship came at the right time for her.

Receiving the scholarship check in her hands brought Soltani to tears because she knew she could resume her dreams of being a professional pilot and a role model of resilience and perseverance.

«It was so hard to overcome my depression and anxiety, but I did and it’s because of supporters like you,» Soltani explained. «People with my upbringing don’t normally do what I’m so lucky to do. I want to change that, and I know you all do too. I oftentimes wonder what I did to deserve this beautiful life I live. I’m so grateful.»

Local Chicago Wheelchair-Accessible Transportation Company Providing Sanitized Rides Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic

CHICAGO, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Despite the growing pandemic, locally-owned and operated transportation company BriteLift continues to provide wheelchair-accessible rides to patients all across the <span…

The Rosemont-based company says that they are doing all they can to assist in the growing fight to flatten the curve and slow down the rise of cases in the area, modifying their vehicles and facilities to cater to patients both positive of COVID-19 and patients suspected to be carrying the virus.

«About 30–35 cases a week», says BriteLift co-owner Steve Rapaport when asked about the number of passengers with suspected COVID-19 that they transport to and from local medical centers. Since wheelchair users may have underlying conditions and are at higher risk during the pandemic, safety and sanitation become more important than ever. At BriteLift, as part of their response to the pandemic, extra measures have been put in place to protect both drivers and passengers including plastic partitions, free supply of hand sanitizer and masks, high-standard disinfection of touchable surfaces after every ride, and thorough fogging sanitation.

The number of positive cases continues to rise in Illinois. Local health officials reported 3296 newly confirmed and probable cases on January 30, 2021, bringing the total number of known infections in the state alone to just over 1.13M and the statewide death toll to 21,253 since the early onset of the pandemic last year.

Igor Yavnoshan, a driver for BriteLift for over three years, shares his thoughts on driving professionally at this time saying that he understands the difficulties patients may go through and empathizes with his passengers as a major part of his job, especially those utilizing wheelchairs and mobility aids.

«It’s no different now. People still need healthcare today, maybe now more than ever,» says Yavnoshan. The 58-year-old began professionally driving in 2014. Yavnoshan has a personal connection to the disabled community. He was previously in a major car accident with his family that left him severely injured. After a successful surgery, he spent a month restricted to a wheelchair and going to rehabilitation, occasionally traveling from his home in Madison, Wisconsin to the local hospital. The experience in therapy, he recalled, was difficult and uncomfortable, having to be taken around in a wheelchair and eating with a straw because his jaw was wired shut. According to him, this event is a big influence on how he interacts with customers, and why he cares so much about their comfort as they ride with him. Yavnoshan, along with the other BriteLift drivers are specially trained and certified to provide extra assistance into buildings, helping passengers all the way into their destinations.

About BriteLift

Addressing the lack of transportation options for wheelchair users, BriteLift built their company on the foundation of giving wheelchair users back their freedom and independence through safe transportation. They have established a passionate team, as exemplified in Igor Yavnoshan, to make sure the disabled Chicago community is taken care of. According to them, the growing pandemic only strengthens their cause, giving them a newer sense of responsibility in their community.

Spire joins ONE Future Coalition’s efforts to reduce methane emissions to 1% or less by 2025

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — As part of Spire’s commitment to the environment and the communities it serves, the natural gas provider is joining the ONE Future Coalition, a group of 37 energy companies voluntarily working together to reduce methane emissions to 1% or less by 2025.

<div…

Spire’s partnership with ONE Future builds on the company’s commitment to become a carbon neutral company by midcentury. Just this week, Spire appointed their first Head of Environmental Commitment, guiding the company’s path to carbon neutrality. In addition, Spire continues to see success in reducing methane emissions, decreasing emissions by more than 39% since 2005 with a nearly 54% reduction projected by 2025, well ahead of international standards.

«As an energy provider, it’s our privilege and responsibility to care for our planet. We are excited to join this diverse mix of peers to collaboratively reduce methane emissions and collectively report on our success,» said Spire President & CEO Suzanne Sitherwood. «We believe that natural gas has an important role to play in the transition to a low-carbon future. Partnerships like ONE Future help solidify that role and will help guide us to be a carbon neutral company.»

«The innovative efforts of the ONE Future Coalition allow us to build consensus views on new ways to reduce emissions,» said Steve Lindsey, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Spire. «Partnering with like-minded companies is essential to reducing our industry’s environmental footprint and creating a more sustainable energy future for generations to come.»

ONE Future is focused on demonstrating a performance- and science-based approach to the management of methane emissions directed toward a concrete goal: to achieve an average rate of methane emissions across the entire natural gas value chain that is 1% or less of total natural gas production and delivery. As a ONE Future member, Spire will report its 2020 methane results as part of the transmission, storage and distribution sectors, and will hold a seat on its board of directors.

«We committed to being a carbon neutral company by midcentury because it helps us hold ourselves accountable for our operational impact on the environment,» said Nick Popielski, the newly named head of environmental commitment at Spire. «Our partnership with ONE Future will help us further measure the impact across our footprint so that we can continue to reduce it over time.»

«Spire has been helping families and business owners fuel their daily lives for more than 160 years,» said Richard Hyde, executive director, ONE Future. «With a reputation of reliability and affordability that their customers depend on, we look forward to the positive enhancements that membership with the Coalition will provide.»

Since ONE Future began reporting its methane intensity, each year it has surpassed its 1% goal. The 2019 Methane Intensity Report, released in November 2020, registered a 2019 methane intensity number of 0.334%; coming under its 1% goal by 67%. This indicates that ONE Future Coalition members contributed to roughly one-third of 1% of all methane emissions from natural gas produced and delivered; demonstrating that the natural gas industry can minimize methane emissions, while increasing production.

At Spire Inc. (NYSE: SR), we believe energy exists to help make people’s lives better. It’s a simple idea, but one that’s at the heart of our company. Every day we serve 1.7 million homes and businesses making us the fifth largest publicly traded natural gas company in the country.

Sunfinity Helps Texas Homeowners Put Solar in the Spotlight with Rebate from the State’s Largest Electric Provider

DALLAS, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The largest energy delivery company in Texas, Oncor, has begun accepting applications for their annual solar rebate – one of the state’s best solar rebate offers. For 2021, Oncor has introduced a new, increased maximum size of 15 kW-DC (kilowatts) for eligible consumer systems with rebates up to $8,500.

The Oncor rebate also extends to businesses for systems up to 300kW dc with rebates capped…

The Oncor rebate also extends to businesses for systems up to 300kW dc with rebates capped at $120,000. Sunfinity Renewable Energy has helped a variety of businesses, from non-profits like My Possibilities to coworking site Good Coworking, leverage the Oncor rebate to dramatically cut the cost of a new commercial solar array.

Sunfinity’s Chairman John Billingsley stressed that consumers and businesses can combine the Oncor rebate with the recently increased federal tax credit (where eligible) for even more savings. (The federal tax credit was scheduled to decline from 26% to 22% in 2021 and 10% for 2022 and then be eliminated entirely for consumers in 2023. Congressional legislation in December 2020 extended the 26% tax credit for both consumers and businesses through 2022.) «Every homeowner and every business will have a slightly different situation, but the savings on a new system are compelling – they can go as high as 50% by stacking incentives,» he said. «On top of that, consider that with solar you’ll be saving on electricity for decades to come.»

Oncor serves 408 communities and 98 counties in Texas, including the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, east Texas communities like Tyler, central Texas cities like Killeen, Temple, Waco and Round Rock, and west Texas counties including the Midland–Odessa area.

Sunfinity can provide residential and commercial proposals free-of-charge showing a proposed system design, potential monetary and environmental savings, and potential savings with the Oncor rebate and tax credit (www.sunfinity.com/contactus). Battery storage equipment is also possible. The rebate program will be closed when available funds are expended, so interested parties should act immediately.
