CAMDEN, N.J., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Subaru of America, Inc. today announced that the Human Rights Campaign has awarded the automaker a score of 100 percent on its Corporate Equality Index, making it the fifth consecutive year and eighth year overall that SOA has earned top marks on the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality.

«A commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion is a key value that makes us more than a car company, and we are proud to be recognized once again by CEI as a Best Place to Work,» said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. «We look forward to continuing to advance diversity, cultivate equality and to live the Subaru Love Promise, our vision to show love and respect to all people at every interaction with Subaru.»

The CEI rates companies on detailed criteria falling under four central pillars:

  • Non-discrimination policies across business entities;
  • Equitable benefits for LGBTQ workers and their families;
  • Supporting an inclusive culture; and,
  • Corporate social responsibility.

For five consecutive years, Subaru has satisfied all CEI criteria and earned a 100 percent ranking, rendering the automaker as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.

«From the previously unimaginable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, to a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, 2020 was an unprecedented year. Yet, many businesses across the nation stepped up and continued to prioritize and champion LGBTQ equality,» said Alphonso David, Human Rights Campaign President. «This year has shown us that tools like the CEI are crucial in the work to increase equity and inclusion in the workplace, but also that companies must breathe life into these policies and practices in real and tangible ways. Thank you to the companies that understand protecting their LGBTQ employees and consumers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do—but the best business decision.»

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation is the educational arm of America’s largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender and queer people. HRC envisions a world where LGBTQ people are embraced as full members of society at home, at work and in every community. To learn more about the CEI score, please visit www.hrc.org/cei.

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for the U.S. Increased in December

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —

<table…

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ —

This month’s release incorporates annual benchmark revisions to the composite economic indexes, which bring them up-to-date with revisions in the source data. These revisions do not change the cyclical properties of the indexes. The indexes are updated throughout the year, but only for the previous six months. Data revisions that fall outside of the moving six-month window are not incorporated until the benchmark revision is made and the entire histories of the indexes are recomputed. As a result, the revised indexes, in levels and month-on-month changes, will not be directly comparable to those issued prior to the benchmark revision.

 

For more information, please visit our website at http://www.conference-board.org/data/bci.cfm or contact us at indicators@conference-board.org

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for the U.S. increased 0.3 percent in December to 109.5 (2016 = 100), following a 0.7 percent increase in November and a 0.9 percent increase in October.

«The US LEI’s slowing pace of increase in December suggests that US economic growth continues to moderate in the first quarter of 2021. Improvements in the US LEI were very broad-based among the leading indicators, except for rising initial claims for unemployment insurance and a mixed consumer outlook on business and economic conditions,» said Ataman Ozyildirim, Senior Director of Economic Research at The Conference Board. «While the resurgence of COVID-19 and weak labor markets remain barriers to growth, The Conference Board expects the economy to expand by at least 2.0 percent (annual rate) in Q1 and then gain momentum throughout the year.»

The Conference Board Coincident Economic Index® (CEI) for the U.S. increased 0.3 percent in December to 103.3 (2016 = 100), following a 0.1 percent increase in November and a 0.6 percent increase in October.

The Conference Board Lagging Economic Index® (LAG) for the U.S. increased 0.1 percent in December to 107.6 (2016 = 100), following a 0.1 percent increase in November and a 0.2 percent increase in October.

About The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® (LEI) for the U.S.
The composite economic indexes are the key elements in an analytic system designed to signal peaks and troughs in the business cycle. The leading, coincident, and lagging economic indexes are essentially composite averages of several individual leading, coincident, or lagging indicators. They are constructed to summarize and reveal common turning point patterns in economic data in a clearer and more convincing manner than any individual component – primarily because they smooth out some of the volatility of individual components.

The ten components of The Conference Board Leading Economic Index® for the U.S. include:

Average weekly hours, manufacturing
Average weekly initial claims for unemployment insurance
Manufacturers’ new orders, consumer goods and materials
ISM® Index of New Orders 
Manufacturers’ new orders, nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft orders
Building permits, new private housing units
Stock prices, 500 common stocks
Leading Credit Index™
Interest rate spread, 10-year Treasury bonds less federal funds
Average consumer expectations for business conditions

Miroslav Výboh’s Company MiddleCap And Its Southworks Office Scheme Becomes UK First To Receive Platinum Smart Building Certification

LONDON, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — MiddleCap, the real estate-focused investment group, announced today that its Southworks development in London has been awarded a Platinum Smart Building Certification. The 70,000 sq ft office scheme, which completes later this year, is the first in the UK to achieve the certification.

LONDON, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — MiddleCap, the real estate-focused investment group, announced today that its Southworks development in London has been awarded a Platinum Smart Building Certification. The 70,000 sq ft office scheme, which completes later this year, is the first in the UK to achieve the certification.

The Smart Building Certification, which has been developed to promote wellbeing, sustainability, performance, innovation, and health and safety in the built environment, recognises buildings that have smart tech infrastructure in place to evaluate a building’s behaviour and performance. The first building awarded Platinum Smart Building Certification was EDGE Olympic Amsterdam.

The Smart Building Certification is the first programme to objectively evaluate the ‘smartness’ of buildings by assessing six core areas: building usage; user behaviour and collaboration; building performance; building environment; integrative design and connectivity, and health, safety and security.

«It’s a big achievement that our first scheme on the UK market received Platinum Smart Building Certification. Our commitment is to bring to the market offices that are enhancing wellbeing, building performance, sustainability and health and safety,» said Miroslav Výboh, Chairman & Partner at MiddleCap.

Southworks is the first building to be evaluated in the UK using the Smart Building Certification framework, and has achieved Platinum certification for Core & Shell. Its technology-first approach and number of integrated design and management features will create a responsive and productive environment that enhances users’ wellbeing. Some of these include:

  • A single ‘digital backbone’ – created through applied bGrid technology – links a series of sensors to the IoT, which connect, measure and deliver feedback to building users.
  • A dedicated app (OfficeApp) through which occupiers will be able to directly control heating and lighting to their own preferences and book meeting rooms, creating the optimum working environment.
  • Technology optimised for risk management in the support of longer-term social distancing by monitoring the flow of people throughout the building together with real time information about indoor and outdoor air quality.

The certification highlights Miroslav Výboh’s and the whole MiddleCap team commitment to delivering state of the art buildings as the business looks to expand its UK commercial office portfolio.

«We are proud to award Southworks with a Platinum Smart Building Certification. A Core & Shell building with this extensive of an IT infrastructure is quite rare. We rarely see a Core & Shell building go this far to improve health, performance, sustainability, indoor environment, and a user’s ability to interact with the space,» said Elizabeth Nelson, Head of Research and Innovation at Smart Building Certification.

«This is also a big commitment for the whole team at MiddleCap. Our aim is to find a way how to overachieve current status on our next projects and deliver a building even more oriented towards innovations, wellbeing and sustainability. And this is one of the reasons why I am looking forward for our next project Seal House,» added MiddleCap’s Chairman Miroslav Výboh.

About MiddleCap

MiddleCap Partners and Mayfair Assets merged in 2018 under its new holding structure in Luxembourg. Since then the holding is operating under the brand MiddleCap Group. MiddleCap became a well know investment and consulting company with headquarter in Luxembourg and offices in London, Berlin, Bratislava, Prague, Dubai and Monaco. Partners of the group are Miroslav Výboh, Matúš Výboh, Michal Kviečinský and Roman Guniš.

Alcoholics Anonymous: A Letter to the Media About Anonymity

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — From time to time we reach out to our friends in the media to thank them for helping us observe our long-standing tradition of anonymity for members of Alcoholics Anonymous.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — From time to time we reach out to our friends in the media to thank them for helping us observe our long-standing tradition of anonymity for members of Alcoholics Anonymous.

First, we’d like to express our thanks. From the beginning of A.A. over 85 years ago, we’ve recognized that word-of-mouth is not enough to carry the A.A. program’s message of hope and recovery to the many people still suffering from alcoholism. We’ve needed help — and the media has been a vital part of this effort. Today we estimate that there are more than 2 million successfully recovering members of Alcoholics Anonymous in more than 180 countries, and much of this growth can be attributed to the willingness of journalists and media professionals around the world to take an interest in our Fellowship.

Second, we invite your ongoing cooperation in maintaining the anonymity of A.A. members. The principle of anonymity is at the core of our Fellowship. Those who are reluctant to seek our help often overcome their fear if they are confident that their anonymity will be respected. In addition, and perhaps less understood, our tradition of anonymity acts as a healthy guardrail for A.A. members, reminding us that we are a program of principles, not personalities, and that no individual A.A. member acts as a spokesperson of our Fellowship.

If an A.A. member is identified in the media, we ask that you please use first names only (e.g., Sofia M. or Ben T.) and that you not use images in which members’ faces may be recognized. This helps to provide members with the security that anonymity can bring.

Again, we thank you for your continued cooperation — in helping to carry our message to those in need of it and for helping keep the focus on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous rather than any personalities.

If you would like to know more about A.A. you are welcome to visit the «Press/Media» section of aa.org. We hope you will take a moment to watch a brief video on why anonymity remains a vital principle in Alcoholics Anonymous. Our Fellowship does not comment on matters of public controversy, but we are happy to provide information about A.A. to anyone who seeks it.

Sincerely,
Public Information Committee of Alcoholics Anonymous

Una carta a los Medios de Comunicación acerca del anonimato

NEW YORK, 28 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Nos dirigimos periódicamente a nuestros amigos de los medios de comunicación públicos para agradecerles por ayudarnos a observar nuestra tradición de anonimato de los miembros de Alcohólicos Anónimos.

NEW YORK, 28 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Nos dirigimos periódicamente a nuestros amigos de los medios de comunicación públicos para agradecerles por ayudarnos a observar nuestra tradición de anonimato de los miembros de Alcohólicos Anónimos.

Primero, queremos expresarles nuestro profundo agradecimiento. Desde el comienzo de A.A. hace más de 85 años, sus miembros se han dado cuenta de que la transmisión de palabra no era en sí misma suficiente para llevar el mensaje de esperanza y recuperación del programa a las muchas personas que aún sufren del alcoholismo. Necesitamos ayuda. Los medios de comunicación públicos han desempeñado un papel vital en nuestros esfuerzos. Hoy día calculamos que hay más de dos millones de miembros de Alcohólicos Anónimos que se recuperan con éxito en más de 180 países. Gran parte de este desarrollo se puede atribuir a la buena voluntad de los periodistas y profesionales mediáticos de todas partes del mundo que se han interesado en nuestra Comunidad

Segundo, les pedimos respetuosamente que sigan cooperando con nosotros para proteger el anonimato de los miembros de A.A. El principio de anonimato es de fundamental importancia para nuestra Comunidad. Los que dudan en buscar nuestra ayuda pueden superar sus temores si están seguros de que se respetará su anonimato. Además, y tal vez menos entendido, nuestra tradición de anonimato sirve para recordar a nuestros miembros que el nuestro es un programa de principios y no de personalidades, y que ningún miembro individual de A.A. puede pretender ser portavoz o líder de nuestra Comunidad.

Si se identifica a una persona como miembro de A.A. en los medios de comunicación, les pedimos que hagan el favor de utilizar sólo el nombre sin apellidos (por ejemplo, Roberto S. o Alicia F.) y que no utilicen fotografías u otras imágenes electrónicas en las que se puedan reconocer las caras de los miembros.  Así los miembros pueden contar con la seguridad que el anonimato les ofrece.

Les volvemos a agradecer por su constante cooperación – por ayudarnos a llevar nuestro mensaje a quienes lo necesiten y mantener el enfoque en los principios de Alcohólicos Anónimos y no en las personalidades

Quienes deseen más información acerca de nuestra comunidad les invitamos a visitar la sección «Para los Prensa/Medios de Comunicación» en nuestro sitio web, aa.org.  Esperamos que puedan dedicar unos minutos a ver este corto video sobre: Por qué el anonimato sigue siendo un principio vital para A.A.  Si bien nuestra comunidad no hace comentarios sobre asuntos polémicos, estamos encantados de ofrecer información acerca de A.A. a todos los que la pidan.

SAN JOSE, Calif., 28 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — CubiCasa 2.0, la última versión de la tecnología de captura de interior móvil líder en el mercado, ya está disponible para todos los usuarios de CubiCasa como actualización gratuita. El lanzamiento cuenta con un set increíble de mejoras, incluyendo el cálculo de imágenes cuadradas total, compatibilidad LiDAR, etiquetado de salas en el sitio con reconocimiento de diálogo y numerosas características y mejoras nuevas más pequeñas. «Con la última actualización, CubiCasa sigue redefiniendo cómo los programas de suelo se capturan y crean en los dispositivos móviles. Nos tomamos en serio nuestra proposición de valor – la app de proposición de suelo más rápida», explicó el consejero delegado de CubiCasa, Harri Pesola, acerca del evento de lanzamiento virtual.

Cálculo de imágenes cuadradas totales
Desde que se llevó a cabo la introducción de CubiCasa Floor Plans en 2019, el cálculo de imágenes cuadradas totales ha sido una de las prestaciones más solicitadas. En la actualidad, con la ayuda de la tecnología LiDAR, todos los programas de suelo creados con los modelos iPhone 12 Pro, iPad 2020 Pro y en algunos dispositivos Android van a recibir programas de suelo con un cálculo de imagen cuadrada total añadido en las imágenes del programa de suelo.

Precisión mejorada y estabilidad
Los usuarios de CubiCasa con dispositivos LiDAR (modelos iPhone 12 Pro, iPad 2020 Pro y algunos dispositivos Android) verán una mejora de la precisión y estabilidad de escaneado tras la actualización. Nuestras pruebas más rigurosas indican una precisión de 3 veces formada por una precisión de evaluación absoluta y variación de la medida. Además, LiDAR proporciona un mejor posicionamiento del seguimiento, que por su parte mejora la estabilidad del escaneado.

Etiquetado de habitaciones en el sitio con reconocimiento de diálogo
Todos los usuarios de iOS y Android disponen de acceso a las nuevas características de etiquetado de reconocimiento de diálogo que permiten a los usuarios etiquetar habitaciones al tiempo que realiza el escaneado. La pantalla de escaneado de la CubiCasa App cuenta con un botón de micrófono que hace que la grabación de las etiquetas de las habitaciones sea súper sencillas. Esto reducirá de forma drástica la necesidad de disponer de Quick Edit o de llevar a cabo las solicitudes de arreglo de tipo post-delivery.

5 temas hermosos para programas de suelo
Los anteriores usuarios de CubiCasa han conseguido disponer la personalización del color del suelo y la pared de los programas de suelo. Con 2.0, presentamos 5 nuevos temas de programa suelo en el catálogo de temas; Elegante, Escala de grises, Huella dactilar, tonos Tierra y espacio Húmedo. Y no hay que preocuparse, cuentas además con la impresionante opción para personalizar al completo los estilos de programa de suelo utilizando CubiCasa Exporter API.

Iluminación adaptativa para dispositivos iOS
Desde el principio, los espacios oscuros, como las salas de almacenamiento y sus áticos, han sido complicados de escanear, pudiendo necesitar de una fuente de iluminación externa para conseguir el éxito en el escaneado. La nueva prestación New Adaptive Lighting se conectará de forma automática con el flash integrado en los dispositivos iOS en espacios oscuros. Ya no hay que temer nunca más a la oscuridad.

Acerca de CubiCasa
CubiCasa es líder de mercado en captura de interior móvil y es famosa por su app de programa de suelo rápido y sencillo de usar en App Store y Google Play Store. CubiCasa proporciona tecnología para profesionales inmobiliarios y tiene como finalidad llevar los programas de suelo a cada una de las listas inmobiliarias.

TAVARES, Fla., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Ruggie Wealth Management Founder and CEO Thomas H. Ruggie, ChFC®, CFP® was recently chosen to be interviewed by HFM Global for an article on what COVID-19 disruptions mean for investors’ operations and investments, and what strategies they’re eyeing.

HFM Week’s Sasha Federenko wrote the analysis piece for the publication which provides industry news and insights to the global hedge fund community. The publication features information on fund launches, research, investor updates, and informed industry analysis.

The article pursued insights into what strategies investors are eyeing, what they’re looking to allocate now and what they’re holding off on.

«COVID-19 has fast-tracked what I thought the future of investment will look like. The pandemic has accelerated the arrival of the future investment landscape, creating new winners and losers,» said Ruggie, who in 2020 was named to Barron’s Top 1200 Advisors for the eighth time and to the 2020 Forbes Best-In-State Wealth Advisors’ list which spotlights the top-performing advisors across the country.

«We’re eyeing long/short equity hedge funds to complement some of our clients’ portfolios with diversifiers. I don’t want to use only a small handful of managers. I’m looking for a proven track record as a stock picker to perform in good and bad markets. We’ve entered an era when stock pickers are going to outperform indexes,» said Ruggie. «We have started significantly changing our view of what investments need to look like going forward.»
