ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Gershman Investment Corp. provided construction and permanent financing for Delmar Divine Apartments, in St. Louis, Missouri. Managing Director, Chris Will originated a $21 million HUD 221(d)(4) construction to permanent loan, for the adaptive reuse of a vacant former hospital into a market-rate apartment community and non-profit collaborative office space.

Originally built in 1904 to support the World’s Fair and now located in an Opportunity Zone, the former St. Luke’s Hospital will be transformed into a mixed-use development with 150 apartments and Class A amenities, as well as working spaces and an innovation hub for area non-profits and social services organizations. This 500,000 square foot, $100 million project is a partnership between local business leader Maxine Clark, founder of the worldwide retail chain Build-A-Bear, Clayco founder Robert Clark, Washington University, IFF, US Bank, Gershman Investment Corp. and Social Innovation STL.

The $21.7MM GNMA-backed HUD 221(d)4 provided Delmar Divine Apartments with a 40-year fixed, non-recourse, construction-permanent loan.  Gershman’s GNMA security was acquired by The Builder’s ProLoan Bond Fund, a pension fund whose members are various labor trade unions.  The Fund provided a significantly below-market permanent interest rate of 3.00%, and 2.75% interest-only during construction. Other sources in the public-private partnership included Federal and State Historic Tax Credits, New Market Tax Credits, Donations toward the non-profit collaborative, and City Tax Abatement for 15 years. Construction completion is scheduled for Fall, 2021.

Managing Director, Chris Will, commented, «This opportunity zone development will be a tremendous asset for the City of St. Louis. The conversion of this vacant hospital into rental housing, plus the added benefit of the non-profit collaborative hub makes it all the more exciting. Gershman Investment Corp. is proud to be the lender on this deal.»

2021 Ram 1500 TRX
The new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is the apex predator of the truck world and cements Ram Truck as North America’s off-road truck leader. Designed bolt by bolt to significantly outperform every other truck straight from the factory, the Ram 1500 TRX has been tested to handle the most punishing conditions with extreme durability. Class-leading, uncompromising performance in the harshest environments is achieved in part through the 702-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® V-8 engine. Stratospheric power delivers a new level of performance: 0-60 miles per hour (mph) in 4.5 seconds, the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds at 108 mph and a top speed 118 mph. The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX has been rigorously tested to handle the most punishing conditions with extreme capability and durability on its way to being the quickest, fastest and most powerful mass-produced half-ton pickup truck in the world. 

The Ram 1500 TRX builds on everything the award-winning Ram 1500 lineup delivers – including world-class luxurious interiors with premium materials and incredible attention to detail, segment-leading ride-quality and comfort, and a superior level of refinement and sophistication – and raises the no-compromise benchmark for power, performance, durability, technology and convenience with features never before offered in a pickup. 

Class-leading ride and handling are accomplished via an all-new custom suspension composed of the highest possible quality components and tuning geared towards high-speed desert runs, producing even more capability on the street or in the desert. The Ram 1500 TRX boasts a ground clearance of 11.8 inches due in part to a 2-inch ride height increase when compared with the rest of the Ram 1500 lineup, along with aggressive 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory All-Terrain 325/65/R18 tires. This combination enables TRX to clear surface obstacles easily and at high speeds. 

A luxurious and spacious interior offers authentic, premium materials, colors and textures, including hand-wrapped leather instrument panels for unexpected luxury throughout. As a segment disrupter, the standard Uconnect 4C with a massive 12-inch touchscreen leads the segment in technology, featuring split-screen capability, 360-degree camera views, and exclusive content from SiriusXM with 360L and Personalized Stations Powered by Pandora. The 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is the first vehicle to include the new Know & Go mobile app featuring an immersive experience for customers who want to learn more about their vehicles. Active safety and security systems include adaptive cruise control, Forward Collision Warning, Blind-spot Monitoring and Ready Alert Braking. 

2021 Ram 1500 TRX Launch Edition
The Ram 1500 TRX VIN 001 being auctioned at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale is one of 702 Ram 1500 TRX Launch Edition models. A nod to the most powerful truck’s 702 horsepower, the 2021 1500 TRX Launch Edition is limited to 702 units – and sold out (other than VIN 001) in less than three hours. The Ram 1500 TRX Launch Edition is visually distinguished by its exclusive Anvil Gray paint, and inside, each truck features a special red and brushed-aluminum center console badge identifying it as a limited-edition TRX model. 

The Ram 1500 TRX Launch Edition package is coupled with the TRX Level 2 Equipment Group, adding carbon fiber interior trim, color accent package, heads-up display, beadlock-capable wheels, 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, dual-pane panoramic sunroof, advanced safety group, hood and bodyside graphics. Additionally, Ram 1500 TRX VIN 001 includes other optional equipment, such as RamBar by Mopar, rock rails by Mopar, bed-mounted tire carrier by Mopar, Trailer Tow Group and Trailer Reverse Steering Control. 

Ram Truck Brand
In 2009, the Ram Truck brand launched as a stand-alone division, focused on meeting the demands of truck buyers and delivering benchmark-quality vehicles. With a full lineup of trucks, the Ram 1500, 2500/3500 Heavy Duty, 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab, ProMaster and ProMaster City, the Ram brand builds trucks that get the hard work done and families where they need to go.

FRC Warns Biden Executive Order Targets People of Faith and Faith-Based Organizations

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Family Research Council issued a statement warning one of President Biden’s first executive orders would target…

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Family Research Council issued a statement warning one of President Biden’s first executive orders would target people of faith and religious organizations. The executive order demands that all federal agencies redefine «sex» to include «sexual orientation» and «gender identity» in their policies against sex discrimination. The order expands upon the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, which redefined «sex» in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins issued the following statement:

«President Biden’s executive order effectively targets people of faith and faith-based organizations that provide social services that are even more vital in the midst of a pandemic. Now, those who hold to biological reality and the doctrines of the world’s major religions will be forced to violate their consciences, or even lose a government contract. Ultimately, if this executive order is able to be fully carried out, it will affect everyday Americans who hold biblical and conservative values. In his inauguration speech yesterday, President Biden called for unity, but he is now demanding uniformity.

«With a stroke of a pen, President Joe Biden has turned 50-year-old civil rights legislation on its head, hollowing out protections for people of faith. President Biden is unilaterally enacting a sweeping policy change that has routinely failed to win the approval of Congress, the body the Constitution tasks with actually passing laws.

«Sadly, the Biden administration is planning to go much further in its assault on biological reality and is expected to order schools to abolish girls’ sports and force boys and girls to use the same showers and locker rooms, and maybe even bunk together on school trips.

«The party that claims to be the party of science is advancing policies on day one that deny reality,» Perkins said.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — «I wanted to create a new cup holder to accommodate large mugs with handles from various convenience stores,» said an inventor, from Ocala, Fla. «At the time, I had no placement for my large mug, so I invented the SUPER CUP HOLDER. My design enables you to safely store and access your oversized drink cup while driving. It is also adjustable so it can fit different vehicle cup holders.»

The patent-pending invention stabilizes large beverage cups and mugs with handles within a vehicle. In doing so, it offers an alternative to holding the mug or balancing it on a standard cup holder. As a result, it helps to prevent spills and stains and it enhances safety. It can also be used to hold other items such as keys, wallet, etc. The invention features a practical and user-friendly design that is convenient, easy to use and can be adjusted to various positions, so it is ideal for vehicle owners, professional drivers and individuals that work in remote locations such as landscapers, contractors, etc. Additionally, it is producible in design variations, it can feature various logos and a prototype is available.

The original design was submitted to the Tampa sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 19-TPA-3028, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Both products are designed to deliver premium-quality and superior durability for today’s commercial transportation vehicles.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Axalta (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global supplier of liquid and powder coatings is adding two new products to its high-performance Imron® Elite coating solutions line in North America – Imron Elite ColorPLUS and Imron Elite Direct-to-Plastic basecoat. Both products are designed to deliver premium-quality and superior durability for today’s commercial transportation vehicles.

Axalta’s Imron Elite ColorPLUS is a premium coating system designed specifically for the new and complicated paint schemes of recreational vehicles. Designed to produce a superior, long-lasting, glossy finish that meets recreational vehicles’ color and processing requirements, Imron Elite ColorPLUS outperforms competitive products especially in product consumption and paint shop productivity. Case study data shows the product consumption of ColorPLUS to be 25-30% less than competitive products. Full system application times with ColorPLUS coupled with oven cure time resulted in a 30 plus percent improvement in cycle time. It also leverages two cutting-edge companion clearcoats, 8460S and 8463S, which are designed to deliver outstanding system appearance and durability.

«Imron Elite Direct-to-Plastic basecoat improves productivity and performance for our customers by eliminating the need for a conventional adhesion promoter and simplifying the coating process from three steps to two,» said Marko Strukelj, Director, Global Transportation Product Engineering at Axalta. «This basecoat also improves overall appearance and enhances adhesion to a plastic substrate.»

A Direct-to-Plastic (DTP) basecoat applies color directly and can be used with or without activation. It requires no scuffing before repainting, and it dries quickly while delivering excellent adhesion. DTP is also specially formulated to deliver great hiding, smooth application and exceptional flake control over multiple plastic substrates and is available in most solid, metallic, pearlescent and special-effect colors.

«We are excited to introduce these two products into the Imron product portfolio,» said Joseph Wood, Vice President of Commercial Transportation Coatings at Axalta. «Both of these product extensions are aimed at helping our customers produce world class products while meeting cost, quality, and cycle time targets.»
