PLANO, Texas, Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Lexus has officially unveiled the Monogram retail experience, providing guests flexibility in how they buy their next Lexus. Working hand-in-hand with dealerships across the United States to integrate the online and in-store retail experience, Lexus is piloting a retail program providing guests more control over how they purchase their vehicle, increased transparency into current inventory and real-time pricing, and flexibility to shop when and how they want.

Developed in partnership with Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) and Lexus Financial Services (LFS) in response to shifting consumer purchase preferences, Monogram offers a flexible shopping experience befitting the Lexus brand.

Lexus’ Monogram technology puts the car buying process in the hands of the guest, providing an integrated user experience across Lexus.com, the dealership website and the physical dealership store. Customers can choose the path that works best for them by starting their journey online, saving their progress in the “digital garage” to pick up where they left off at the dealer, or completing their purchase at home or at their Monogram dealer.

For Lexus dealerships, the new technology integrates with current inventory, the customer relationship management system (CRM) and directly with financing through LFS, allowing sales associates the opportunity to better understand customers wants and needs, while accessing time-saving tools, enhanced analytics and advanced lead handling that allows the dealer to pick up right where the guest left off online.

“Our goal is to create greater transparency with our guests and efficiency for our dealers – whether that’s in the showroom or online,” said Andrew Gilleland, group vice president and general manager, Lexus Division. “From increased flexibility for guests to enhanced technology for our dealers, Monogram provides our brand the tools to anticipate guest expectations today and into the future.”

Monogram is currently being piloted in select markets with plans to aggressively accelerate availability through 2021. An all-new Monogram complete online experience, which expands to allow customers the ability to complete their purchase online, will roll out market by market starting in Spring 2021.

The new online retail experience is also available to Toyota customers through Toyota SmartPath. You can learn more about SmartPath, here.

Lexus’ passion for brave design, imaginative technology, and exhilarating performance enables the luxury lifestyle brand to create amazing experiences for its guests. Lexus began its journey in 1989 with two luxury sedans and a commitment to pursue perfection. Since then, Lexus has developed its lineup to meet the needs of global luxury guests in more than 90 countries. In the United States, Lexus vehicles are sold through 242 dealers offering a full lineup of luxury vehicles. With six models incorporating Lexus Hybrid Drive, Lexus is the luxury hybrid leader.

2022 MDX Asserts its Role as the Flagship of the Acura Brand in New Launch Campaign

TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In advance of arriving at dealerships Feb. 2, Acura’s all-new 2022 MDX launch campaign (acura.us/mdxlaunchcampaign) demonstrates how Acura’s long-time racing and sports car success is powering the fourth-generation SUV to its new role as the flagship of the brand.

Set to the soundtrack of Queen’s “Tear It Up,” the new Acura campaign highlights key components of the all-new MDX, including its bold and athletic exterior design along with a new, sophisticated and elegant interior featuring the most high-tech and advanced cockpit in the brand’s history. MDX performance is underpinned by a first-ever double-wishbone front suspension applied to its all-new, ultra-rigid platform, featured in an accompanying spot (acura.us/mdxperformance) that also demonstrates MDX’s towing capability. Full 2022 MDX information is available here.

The integrated campaign takes viewers on an exciting trip through Acura’s pinnacle vehicles and racecars to highlight that MDX shares the “same DNA” as the original 1991 NSX, 2001 Integra Type R and the 2021 NSX. Acura’s racing heritage is reflected with the Comptech Spice Acura GTP Lights racecar that Parker Johnstone drove to three consecutive IMSA Camel Lights Driver’s Championships from 1991 to 1993, along with an appearance by the back-to-back IMSA Championship-winning NSX GT3 Evo.

The campaign was developed in collaboration with agency of record MullenLowe LA, and will be featured across broadcast, digital and social media. Key national broadcast highlights include cable and live sports – NBA, NCAA and March Madness match-ups. The 2022 MDX campaign will also be featured on streaming platforms with :30 and :15 versions of the TV creative, along with :06 versions featured across social media. Acura’s MDX spots will also run in Spanish and Chinese-language.

Other key campaign components include:

“Origin Story,” a social media activation launching next month on Acura’s social channels with a series of videos that dive further into the “same DNA” performance and innovation story that led to MDX.
“Working Mom,” a dedicated Spanish-language :30 TV spot, that will run across national Hispanic networks including Telemundo and Univision, showcasing the duality of the 2022 MDX as a high-performance and ultramodern family SUV to reach Hispanic audiences.
High-impact digital editorial partnerships with Travel + Leisure, Conde Nast, Martini, as well as Hispanic outlets such as People en Español and Mama’s Latina.
Integration of high-impact digital media to reach key Chinese audiences, working with niche publishers such as Asian Media Group.

A plan to eliminate poverty for all retirees

February 1, 2021

New proposal eliminates retirement income inequity for all future generations of Americans

GLASSBORO, N.J., Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ric Edelman, Distinguished Lecturer at Rowan University and one of the most acclaimed financial advisors in the nation, today released a proposal that eliminates poverty in retirement for all future generations of Americans.

Called RISE (Retirement Income Security for Everyone), Edelman’s proposal is permanent and completely self-funding, with no financial support needed by Congress or taxpayers. Instead, the U.S. Treasury Department would sell one RISE Savings Bond for each baby born in America each year. The money would be managed as determined by Congress.

Under Edelman’s proposal, each RISE Bond of $5,884 would be redeemed in 20 years, just like other U.S. Savings Bonds. Redemptions and the program’s administrative expenses would be funded by the program itself so there would be no cost to the government or taxpayers.

In 70 years, the now-retired babies would each begin receiving monthly income through age 100. Each baby would receive enough income to place them at the median income of all U.S. households. Every child would receive benefits from RISE, and those born into lower-income households would receive more than those born into higher-income households.

“RISE eliminates poverty in retirement for all future generations of Americans,” said Edelman, who founded Edelman Financial Engines, the largest independent financial planning and investment management firm in the nation, managing $260 billion for 1.2 million American families. Several industry publications have called Edelman one of the most influential thought leaders in the financial services field, and he was named the country’s #1 Independent Financial Advisor three times by Barron’s.

“The key to RISE is seven decades of compound growth,” Edelman said. He noted that only one person—Benjamin Franklin—ever applied the principle of compounding to such long periods.

“Benjamin Franklin gave money to the cities of Boston and Philadelphia,” Edelman noted, “with the stipulation that they not touch the money for 100 years. His foresight produced huge financial support to both cities.” Edelman wrote about Benjamin Franklin’s will to illustrate how small donations can become worth many millions of dollars after many decades of growth.

“A one-time funding of $5,884 at birth is enough to give each retiree $120,000 in annual income starting at age 70,” Edelman said. By contrast, the average worker will spend more than $420,000 contributing to a 401(k) and Social Security – yet will receive less income in retirement than RISE provides, he noted.

“That’s because workers only save for three or four decades. By letting money grow for seven decades, RISE unleashes the true long-term power of compounding,” Edelman explained.

Millions of retirees enter retirement with insufficient savings because they don’t earn enough money to save, he said. Since 1970, incomes for the top 5% of households have more than doubled, while incomes for the bottom fifth of households fell 15%, according to the Pew Research Center.¹ As a result, upper-income families by 2016 had 75 times more wealth than the lowest-income families – up from 28 times in 1983.

“RISE is an important plan to supplement Social Security for future generations to ensure safe and secure retirements, especially for lower income Americans, by starting to fund retirement at birth,” said James Lockhart III, Former Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer of the Social Security Administration. “The funding mechanism is a very innovative approach that should be explored.”

“We owe it to the youngest among us to provide paths to financial security in old age and RISE represents exactly the kind of out-of-the-box thinking we need,” said Laura L. Carstensen, Ph.D.,
Fairleigh S. Dickinson Jr. Professor in Public Policy and Director of Stanford University’s Center on Longevity.

“This is the time for big ideas,” said Paul Irving, Chairman of the Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging. “RISE is a bold plan to ensure that every American child can look forward to a financially secure retirement. RISE offers the opportunity to narrow gaps and change the financial futures of future American generations.”

“This innovative proposal to help reduce poverty and income inequality in the U.S. can be elegantly put into use to benefit the society at large,” said Ihsan Isik, Ph.D., Professor of International Banking and Finance in Rowan University’s William G. Rohrer College of Business.

Jason Grumet, Founder and President of the Bipartisan Policy Center, said, “As the country grapples with the twin challenges of retirement security and inequality, innovative ideas like RISE are needed to address retirement security for all.”

RISE is a permanent and completely self-funding way to ensure that all future generations of Americans enjoy a financially secure retirement.

Integration of ten security modules takes cybersecurity to the next level while reducing complexity and cost

MINEOLA, N.Y., Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — RevBits announces the general availability of its Cyber Intelligence Platform (“CIP”), an integrated solution that is designed to provide companies across the globe with unparalleled protection against cyberattacks.

Taking a radically new approach, RevBits CIP is the first fully integrated cybersecurity platform that offers superior protection by sharing threat intelligence and other relevant data between ten different security modules.

“As the threat level in cyberspace continues to rise and an alarmingly increasing number of companies are getting hacked, it has become crystal clear that deploying and managing multiple standalone solutions is neither efficient nor effective,” said David Schiffer, CEO. “As with most corporate resources, security teams will always have a limited capacity. Being able to provide them out of the box with a single integrated platform will give a great boost to their productivity. Less time and money can be spent managing different tools and environments while the exchange of relevant threat information allows for much faster and more proactive interventions.”

RevBits CIP consist of the following modules:

Email Security
Endpoint Security
Advanced Exploit Detection
EDR
Deception Technology
Privileged Access Management
Privileged Session Management
Password Management
Key Management
Certificate Management

“Based on a unique architecture and patented technologies, every single RevBits module has been developed to provide best in class protection,” said Mucteba Celik, CTO. “By combining these modules in RevBits CIP we can now offer our customers a centralized view on their cybersecurity from which they can take immediate action, seamlessly navigating between modules. This is a really unique capability in today’s scattered landscape of cybersecurity software.”

While Others Cut Back, National Health Foundation Partners with Chrysalis to Increase Job Opportunities

Chrysalis client and National Health Foundation staff member Paul serving snacks to guests at NHF's Project Roomkey site.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For many, the pandemic has resulted in devastating life events ranging from unemployment, loss of homes, and food insecurity – but for some, the pandemic has provided an opportunity for a fresh start, especially in the new year.

In May of 2020, National Health Foundation (NHF) launched a temporary recuperative care site as part of Project Roomkey – a statewide initiative to house individuals living on the streets to curb the spread of COVID-19. To staff the site, NHF partnered with Chrysalis, a local non-profit dedicated to serving low-income individuals and those experiencing homelessness as they transition back into the workforce.

“Through our partnership with Chrysalis, individuals are gaining valuable personal and professional skills, opening up the door to roles in the healthcare field that may not have been otherwise accessible to them,” shares National Health Foundation President & CEO, Kelly Bruno.

“The people we serve are our neighbors, friends, and family members who are among those at the greatest risk of experiencing the devastating health and economic effects of the pandemic,” reports Chrysalis President & CEO, Mark Loranger. “Hiring opportunities with the National Health Foundation provide a key that will unlock not just a job that will keep them financially secure during this unsettling time, but also open the door to a new path for their lives.”

Throughout the pandemic, 13 temporary employees have transitioned into full-time roles at National Health Foundation as Guest Service Associates. In this role, they continue to provide support services to guests at NHF’s permanent recuperative care sites in Pico-Union and Mid-City. For some, it is providing an opportunity to use their life experience in service to those currently experiencing homelessness. For others, like Dwona Beroit, this job is granting her the opportunity to explore other careers in healthcare like social work.

“Chrysalis is truly a blessing to me because without them I would have never been connected to National Health Foundation. Thanks to NHF, I have found my passion in helping others and am currently pursuing a degree in social work. I want to help others the same way Chrysalis and NHF helped me,” shares Chrysalis client and NHF staff member Dwona Beroit.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — DEWAR’S® Scotch Whisky, the world’s most awarded blended Scotch whisky, announces the launch of DEWAR’S Portuguese Smooth, showcasing the exciting flavors that are crafted when Scotland meets Portugal in a bottle. Marking the brand’s 175th anniversary this year, this new iteration of the DEWAR’S Cask Series features DEWAR’S 8 year old double-aged blended Scotch whisky, finished in ruby port casks for a rich, full-bodied blend.

Following the successful launches of DEWAR’S Caribbean Smooth Rum Cask Finish and DEWAR’S Ilegal Smooth Mezcal Cask Finish, the third edition in the brand’s double-aged blended Scotch cask-finished series reflects the brand’s passion for harmoniously bringing together unexpected flavor traits for a richer taste and experience. Perfect for both whisky aficionados and amateurs alike, DEWAR’S Portuguese Smooth features flavor notes of freshly sliced ripe apricots, honeydew melon, red cherries and black currants drizzled with heather honey – all enveloped in rich creamy notes of vanilla.

“The whisky category has a certain mythology of its own, replete with traditional conventions. We created the DEWAR’S cask-finished series to break the mold and evolve those traditions by bringing two product elaboration cultures together – in this case from Scotland and Portugal – to create something richer. Though we can’t travel to the Highlands of Scotland or the Douro Valley of Portugal this year, we crafted DEWAR’S Portuguese Smooth to engage all those with wanderlust and curiosity. The brand has long been driven by a natural curiosity and, with 2021 ringing in our 175^th anniversary, we hope that DEWAR’S Portuguese Smooth will inspire people to look beyond the obvious, or their ‘usual tipple’, and to discover a new whisky that will enthrall the senses and delight the palate. It is about enjoyment, not rules, and through this we are certain that this great whisky will challenge some pre-conceived notions of what standard blended scotch whisky is about,” says Brian Cox, Vice President, DEWAR’S Scotch Whisky, North America.

“With its full bodied yet refined mouthfeel and unique flavor profile – which features subtle notes of stone fruits, dark red fruits and honey – DEWAR’S Portuguese Smooth is designed to be a veritable celebration of the two cultures of Scotland and Portugal. Thanks to a unique production process where the 8 year old scotch is double aged for extra smoothness and then finished in casks that previously held fine ruby port wines, DEWAR’S Portuguese Smooth has a satisfyingly unusual, yet super smooth, taste that is ideally enjoyed anyway you like – be it neat, on the rocks, in a highball or as a great alternative to beer and wine for food pairings. It’s really about your mood, time, place and company – be it in person or remotely,” says Stephanie Macleod, Master Blender for DEWAR’S.

Signature cocktails include The Spiced Tonic Highball and The Ginger Highball which reimagines the classic highball with a refreshing blend of stone fruit and baking spice flavors.

DEWAR’S Portuguese Smooth 8 year old port cask finish will be available in a 750ML bottle with an SRP of $21.99 and will retail in all fine wine & spirits retailers nationwide.
