Honda Civic Type R TCR
Honda driver Ryan Eversley piloted this Honda Civic Type R TCR with RealTime Racing to the inaugural TCR Championship in the Pirelli World Challenge series this year. Eversley and his Honda Civic Type R TCR dominated the series with five wins and 11 podium finishes in the 12-race season. Based on the immensely popular Honda Civic Type R, the TCR version boasts numerous upgrades, resulting in 340 horsepower from the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. The Type R TCR also features a sequential 6-speed manual gearbox with a JAS twin-disc sintered-metallic clutch and paddle shifters. Other race-only modifications were made for safety considerations and to suspension and brake components to turn the already impressive Civic Type R into an all-out racecar.

THR-W Honda Civic Type R
Following last year’s successful run in showroom stock form, the Team Honda Research West (THR-W) racing team returns to the 25 Hours of Thunderhill. This year however, their Honda Civic Type R benefits from numerous race-bred upgrades, upping the ante with more horsepower and race-ready brakes and suspension. With engine modifications that include a custom intake system from Injen, ECU tuning by Hondata, and a racing down pipe and custom titanium exhaust system by RV-6, the THR-W Type R now puts out 380 horsepower. The suspension has been race-prepped with H&R racing springs and HPD World Challenge-spec adjustable dampers, new Paragon 6-piston brake calipers and 355mm rotors, and BF Goodrich R1 tires. Aerodynamic enhancements include a THR-W front splitter, a Honda Genuine Accessories full carbon rear wing, and carbon fiber hood and hatch from Seibon. Following a strict grams-counting diet plan, this year’s Type R comes in 200 pounds lighter compared to last year’s car.

Team Honda Research West is the West Coast arm of Honda’s grassroots road racing team. Founded in 1996 as a club team, THR-W embodies the Honda Racing Spirit while advancing associates’ technical skills and knowledge.

F3 Americas Race Car
Powered by a special version of the Civic Type R’s 2.0-liter DOHC VTEC® Turbo engine, Kyle Kirkwood has driven his Abel Motorsports Liger Crawford JS to the winner’s circle in almost every race this season. The Formula 3 America series follows on from the Formula 4 United States Championship, allowing competitors and other aspiring racers the next level of open-wheel competition. Combining affordability, modern technology, and the ability to obtain FIA Super License points, the F3 Americas series aligns with the global FIA development ladder philosophy of using common components to provide a cost-efficient, reliable, and powerful racing structure as drivers ascend through the levels on their way to North American, or Global, racing success.

Honda Pilot Rebelle Rally
Honda R&D Americas (HRA) associates Ariel Jen and Melanie Morimoto recently completed the Rebelle Rally in this lightly modified 2019 Honda Pilot SUV. The all-women navigation rally runs 1,700 miles and 8-days across the deserts of California and Nevada, with driver and navigator only allowed a compass and a map as their guide. The 2019 Honda Pilot featured a stock drivetrain, using the factory engine, transmission, and i-VTM4™ all-wheel drive system for the duration of the journey. The only modifications made were for additional durability and safety performance, including custom skid plates, extra ground clearance, off-road tires, and an interior modified for additional storage of spare tires and other equipment.

Honda Ridgeline Overland Project
The Honda Ridgeline Overland Project incorporates multiple upgrades and modifications to turn the 2019 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition into the ultimate overland adventure vehicle. Working with Honda outfitter Jsport Performance Accessories, the Ridgeline Overlander’s extensive modifications are meant to bolster Ridgeline’s off-road and overlanding capability, without compromising its on-road comfort, and will soon be available for purchase. The additional skid plates, off-road wheels and tires, and leveling kit are all designed to help Ridgeline make the most of its i-VTM4™ four-wheel drive system when driving off-road. JSport sidesteps make it easier to access the versatile new Plateau roof rack system, while the Mesa bed rack maximizes cargo flexibility. Mounted in the Plateau roof rack is a lightweight, quiet and powerful Honda EU2200i generator for powering any electrical accessories your overland excursions require.

2019 Honda Insight
The all-new 2019 Honda Insight hybrid offers a superior driving experience, comfortable interior, and high-end looks, all while receiving up to a 55 mpg city rating¹. Like all Honda products, Insight is available with a long list of dealer-installed accessories, many of which are showcased on the Insight on display this year at SEMA. Included on the Insight are various additional interior lighting, such as door sill, door panel and foot illumination for a more custom look. The display Insight also includes 17-inch SBK wheels, fog lights, front and rear chrome bumper trim, and black front bumper trim. All accessories are available from Honda dealers nationwide.

First Honda Pedal Car
Inspired by the Honda Project 2&4 concept race car shown at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show, the First Honda pedal car concept explores ideas to inspire kids to be enthusiasts for the Honda brand. The pedal car is compact, about 47 inches long, 24 inches high and 22 inches wide, and incorporates carbon fiber construction in its floor and rear “diffuser.” Though pedal powered, the First Honda also contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery to power lights, and even recharge a cell phone in the snack compartment under the “hood.” Built by Honda Accessory America, the First Honda also uses 18-inch alloy wheels from the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback.

Honda Powersports
The Honda Powersports lineup on display at SEMA will showcase a number of different products, featuring the following:

2019 CRF450R Works Edition – For the 2019 model year, you don’t have to be Ken Roczen to enjoy a CRF450R with factory enhancements, as the new CRF450RWE features a number of upgrades based on the bikes in the Team Honda HRC race shop. Rocketing to the top step of the podium through the use of a specially designed cylinder head with hand-polished ports, Yoshimura titanium slip-on muffler, and special ECU settings, this new model offers increased low- and mid-range torque. It also features the same graphics as Roczen’s No. 94 race bike, including a Throttle Jockey factory seat cover. Upgraded black D.I.D LT-X rims are included, along with black triple clamps and a gold RK chain. Titanium nitride-coated fork legs and an updated, titanium nitride-coated shock shaft increase traction and bump absorption.
2019 CRF450L – The all-new road-legal CRF450L expands customers’ off-road possibilities by enabling access to the best riding trails, even when that means connecting them via asphalt roads. Street legality is achieved via features like LED lighting, mirrors, and a dedicated exhaust system. Equally at home in the woods or desert, the CRF450L has a wide-ratio six-speed transmission for maximum adaptability, while a lightweight, 2.0-gallon titanium fuel tank offers great range. Compared to the CRF450R motocrosser, crank mass is up for tractability in technical conditions, where a large-capacity radiator keeps things cool.
2019 Super Cub C125 ABS – Since the 1958 introduction of the first Super Cub C100 (one year before the launch of the American Honda Motor Co., Inc.), the iconic model and its descendants have enticed armies of new riders to motorcycling with its approachable, stylish design and utilitarian performance that helped alter people’s perceptions of riding. In fact the original Super Cub was the most produced motor vehicle in history, selling over 100 million units worldwide. After 45 years, the Super Cub returns to the United States, with American Honda offering the 2019 Super Cub C125 ABS in celebration of its 60th anniversary. Featuring classic Super Cub styling with an S-letter silhouette and step-through design, the little motorcycle has a fuel-efficient and quiet 125cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine, fuel injection, a comfortable seat, and ABS brakes.
2019 Monkey – A master of fun, the 2019 Monkey builds on the passion of the 1958 original, while opening the door to the next generation of enthusiasts. The classic Monkey style provides the cues: simple, curved surfaces, and a trapezoid silhouette highlighting the compact length. The glossy fuel tank, finished in the same color as the frame, swingarm, and shocks, crowns the machine, and proudly wears a historical 3-D “Old Wing”-design Honda logo. Chrome steel high-mount fenders—plus the evocatively stamped exhaust shield, circular mirrors, and high-rise handlebar—all pay homage to the original. The Monkey is powered by a modern, reliable 125cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine, and is available with ABS brakes. The example on display at SEMA has been modified with a Yoshimura Prototype Slip-on Muffler.
2018 Africa Twin Adventure Sports – Based on the popular Africa Twin, this new Adventure Sports model offers increased sport, touring and off-road capability. New technology, enhanced comfort, longer range, more suspension travel, and much more give this adventure bike more overall performance for riders who want to explore those far-off places they’ve always dreamed about. The model on display at SEMA has been modified with a Yoshimura RS-4 Works Finish Slip-on Muffler.

World of Disney Reopens in Grand Style in California and Florida

October 26, 2018

ANAHEIM, California and LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida, Oct. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Whether at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, or Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, World of Disney is the ultimate shopping destination for all things Disney. Now these two dynamic retail experiences are unveiling complete transformations that make shopping easier and more fun – with a dash of pixie dust on top.

More than a year in design and development, World of Disney reopens Friday, Oct. 26, at the Downtown Disney District at Disneyland Resort and Saturday, Oct. 27, at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World.

This grand World of Disney makeover touched every feature and function in the store, as if the Fairy Godmother outfitted the store herself. From displays to signage to lighting and much, much more, the new World of Disney creates an exciting, dynamic shopping experience where the products are the stars and guests discover magical Disney storytelling wherever they look.

“We saw World of Disney as an opportunity to reimagine what Disney retail is today,” said Alysia Kelley, vice president of visual merchandising and location strategy for Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “The new store design highlights the best of what is current and new, while also celebrating classic Disney heritage based in storytelling.”

The transformation begins with the store’s exterior, which features new marquees and magical window displays. When guests step inside, they discover an open, loft-style atmosphere with such great visibility they may even fall in love with an item from across the room.

The merchandise also serves as décor in the new World of Disney. In one area, a giant Mickey Mouse Club ear hat beckons guests to the new Mickey Mouse Club Collection. Several spaces throughout the store will change regularly, showcasing the newest and hottest Disney offerings of the season. When new displays debut, their stunning impact will leave guests feeling as if an entire section of the store was reimagined all over again.

Complementing these displays are enchanted flourishes inspired by the history of the Walt Disney Animation Studios and the “Nine Old Men,” the legendary animators who created classic films such as “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Peter Pan” and “Fantasia.” For instance, ink jars suddenly swirl with color and animate artwork on the walls.

Out of nowhere, blank pages fill with pencil sketches as if drawn by an invisible hand. Magical movie posters twinkle with pixie dust before coming to life. When making purchases, eagle-eyed guests may notice the store’s sales counters are inspired by the desks and furniture used by animators of generations past.

Beyond delivering exceptional service to guests, Disney cast members play a role in this storytelling, as well; cast members will help guests discover the magical elements in the store and share insights into its pixie-dusted artwork. This commitment to placemaking makes the new World of Disney more than a retail experience – it’s truly a Disney experience.

World of Disney will regularly roll out exclusive Disney Parks merchandise, reinforcing its reputation as a must-visit shopping destination for devoted Disney fans. Unveiled earlier in October was a new Mickey Mouse Club Collection with apparel and accessories featuring a vintage Mickey Mouse from the original television show. Also revealed with the store’s grand reopening is the Nordic-inspired Disney Parks Holiday Collection 2018, complete with Disney-themed holiday décor, ornaments, apparel and more.

World of Disney stores at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World now offer guests the option to purchase new reusable bags, rather than use plastic bags. This program is part of The Walt Disney Company’s global commitment toward significant single-use plastic reduction by mid-2019. Featuring artwork of beloved Disney characters, these reusable bags are offered in three sizes for a nominal fee. Traditional plastic bags are still available upon request at no charge.

World of Disney is an anchor location at both Downtown Disney District (Disneyland.com) and Disney Springs (DisneySprings.com). Theme park admission is not required. Select products may also be found at ShopDisney.com.

About the Disneyland Resort
The Disneyland Resort features two spectacular theme parks – Disneyland (the original Disney theme park) and Disney California Adventure Park – plus three hotels and the Downtown Disney District, comprising unique dining, entertainment and shopping experiences. The Resort’s hotels are the luxurious, 948-room Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, which also features 50 two-bedroom equivalent Disney Vacation Club units; the magical, 973-room Disneyland Hotel – both AAA Four Diamond properties – and the 481-room Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel with its “day-at-the-beach” theme.

FIBRA Prologis Announces Third Quarter 2018 Earnings Results

October 25, 2018

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — FIBRA Prologis (BMV:FIBRAPL 14), a leading owner and operator of Class-A industrial real estate in Mexico, today reported results for the third quarter of 2018.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE QUARTER:

Period-end occupancy was 96.5 percent.
Net effective rents on rollover increased 10.6 percent.
Weighted average customer retention was 83.2 percent.

Net earnings per CBFI in the third quarter was Ps. 0.9621 (US$0.0497) compared with Ps. 0.7049 (US$0.0398) for the same period in 2017.

Funds from operations (FFO) per CBFI was Ps. 0.7817 (US$0.0402) for the third quarter compared with Ps. 0.7508 (US$0.0423) for the same period in 2017.

STRONG OPERATING RESULTS

“Despite unevenness in the financial and capital markets, the strong U.S. economy has been a key driver of demand in Mexico,” said Luis Gutierrez, CEO, Prologis Property Mexico. “The uncertainty surrounding the Mexican presidential election and NAFTA renegotiations prevented a resilient, healthy operating environment from reaching its potential—now that there is greater clarity on these two fronts, we expect a scenario of accelerated growth.”

Gutierrez added: “FIBRA Prologis delivered terrific operating and financial results in the third quarter, and we expect this to remain the case as logistics real estate demand continues its trajectory of outpacing the broader Mexican economy.”

Operating Portfolio	3Q18	3Q17	Notes
Period End Occupancy	96.5%	96.4%
Leases Commenced	3.0 MSF	2.2 MSF	82% of leasing activity related to renewals mainly in Mexico City and Guadalajara
Customer Retention	83.2%	77.0%
Net Effective Rent Change	10.6%	10.9%	Led by Juarez and Mexico City
Cash Same Store NOI	1.7%	3.7%	Weaker peso and higher concessions related to longer term partly offset by higher rents
Same Store NOI	1.0%	3.6%

SOLID FINANCIAL POSITION

At September 30, 2018, FIBRA Prologis’ leverage was 32.9 percent and liquidity was Ps. 5.8 billion (US$307.0 million), which included Ps. 5.6 billion (US$296.0 million) of available capacity on its unsecured credit facility and Ps. 207.4 million (US$11.0 million) of unrestricted cash.

“Our balance sheet strength remains a key competitive advantage with low leverage, healthy liquidity and no maturities until 2020,” said Jorge Girault, senior vice president, Finance, Prologis Mexico. “Ensuring a flexible balance sheet, we are proactively working on addressing our medium- and long-term maturities.”

GUIDANCE UPDATE

“While rent change upon renewal and average occupancy have been very good, our cash same store NOI was impacted by a weaker peso and higher concessions due to longer lease terms,” added Girault. “As a result, we are adjusting our cash same store guidance accordingly. We are also providing FFO per CBFI to include the impact of the incentive fee recorded in the second quarter as well as associated incremental certificates to be issued in the fourth quarter.”

(US$ in million, except per CBFI amounts)	Previous	Revised	Notes
Same Store NOI (Cash)	4.00%-5.00%	3.00%-4.00%
FFO per CBFI	$0.1550-0.1650	n/a	Excludes the impact of the incentive fee
FFO per CBFI	n/a	$0.1500-0.1600	Includes the impact of the incentive fee

Hispanic/Latinos Lag in Income, Bank Accounts, Healthcare Access; Hostos Event Eyes Solutions

October 25, 2018

BRONX, N.Y., Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — New York’s Hispanic/Latino (H/L) residents face wide and growing disparities in health, economic security and livability, and AARP joined today with the Hispanic Federation and Bronx community leaders at Hostos Community College to brainstorm solutions.

The 60 and over population of the state’s communities of color – of which H/L account for the largest share – grew by a staggering 43% between 2000 and 2010, over 20 times that of the entire population (2.1%) and over five times the 8% increase among the state’s 60+ White population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This disproportionately rapid growth is projected to continue in the decades ahead and significantly worsen the wide gaps that already exist.

“For the large and rapidly growing 50+ population of Hispanic/Latinos in New York, challenges around economic security and access to affordable housing, transportation and healthcare will continue to mount,” said Maggie Castro, AARP Associate State Director for Hispanic Outreach. “Today’s forum at Hostos Community College brought together some of the best minds and top community leaders in the Bronx and New York’s Hispanic/Latino community to plot achievable solutions to help narrow these gaps.” “For decades Latinos have contributed to New York’s vibrancy and vitality,” said José Calderón, President, Hispanic Federation. “And yet, Latinos in New York face grave disparities in a variety of social, health and economic issues – especially for Latinos age 50-plus. Hispanic Federation has worked for more than a quarter of a century to empower and advance the U.S. Hispanic community. We welcome the opportunity to partner with AARP and CUNY Hostos to bring together Latino thought leaders, elected officials and local community advocates from across the city to address the grave disparities that exist among older Latinos in the areas of health, financial security and livable communities. This forum will serve as a dynamic brainstorming session to develop macro-level solutions that will close the gaps that persist among older Latinos and uplift all.”

Research commissioned by AARP as part of an unprecedented multi-year policy solutions agenda intended to #DisruptDisparities among New Yorkers of color 50 and older in health, economic security and livable communities, in partnership with the Hispanic Federation, the Asian American Foundation, the NAACP of New York and the New York Urban League, found:

Unpaid H/L family caregivers spend 44% of their income on out-of-pocket caregiving expenses vs. just 14% by unpaid White family caregivers on average, nationally.
60% of Bronx residents speak Spanish vs. only 10% of Bronx healthcare providers.
A higher proportion of older H/Ls than Whites report at least one of seven costly, chronic conditions: asthma, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, or anxiety/depression.
22% of adult H/Ls in New York do not have health insurance.
50+ City H/Ls are paid just 51 cents for every dollar 50+ Whites are paid, on average – resulting in only 60.8 cents for H/Ls to every dollar for Whites in Social Security statewide.
White 50+ New Yorkers’ retirement incomes are almost double that of H/L New Yorkers.
White New Yorkers’ households have more than 12 times the wealth of H/L households.
34.9% of H/L New Yorkers 55 to 64 years old lack a bank account vs. only 1.6% of similarly aged White Yorkers – leading many H/Ls to turn to high-cost providers for check-cashing, money orders, and other financial services.
45% of 50-plus H/Ls statewide spend at least 30% of their income on housing vs. 29% for White homeowners. And 25% of all 50-plus city H/Ls spent at least half their income on housing compared to 17% of Whites – making H/L communities particularly vulnerable to gentrification and displacement.
Many subway stations in neighborhoods of color lack elevators, leading to isolation and missed medical appointments and treatments.
H/L neighborhoods have more pedestrian accidents due to unsafe street crossings.

As recommended in “Disrupting Racial and Ethnic Disparities: Solutions for New Yorkers Age 50-Plus” – the report released at the #DisruptDisparities launch in January – New York State this year enacted a voluntary workplace retirement savings option for private employees to help New Yorkers save, expended “telehealth” as part of the Medicaid program and included goals to disrupt disparities in in the state’s health prevention agenda. Next year, AARP and partners will push these other recommendations:

A state tax credit to help unpaid family caregivers offset out-of-pocket caregiving expenses.
Sufficient state funding for non-Medicaid home and community based services for the elderly to keep pace with growing need and prevent burnout by unpaid family caregivers.
Further expansion of “telehealth” to expand access to healthcare through smart phones and other technology and avoid obstacles such as lack of transportation to medical appointments.
Cultural and linguistic competency training for all state-licensed healthcare professionals.
Preservation of New York’s strong usury laws to defend against predatory lending, small-dollar loans and other exploitative consumer financial products that target communities of color.
Support for community development financial institutions to provide sound and affordable loans and financial products and services to people and small businesses in communities of color.
Stronger consumer protections against deed theft scams that disproportionately target 50-plus New Yorkers of color.
Make housing more affordable and preventing displacement and gentrification through inclusionary zoning and support of Community Land Trusts and property tax exemptions.
Allow more “mother-in-law” apartments (“accessory dwelling units”) and expand funding available to lower-income older adults for home modifications to increase accessibility.
Improve accessibility within the Metropolitan Transit Authority system
Increase funding, particularly for neighborhoods of color, to support a state law requiring pedestrian safety be taken into consideration in new and redesigned streets.

“AARP has a long history of advocacy on behalf of members of the 50+ community in our effort to empower people to choose how they live as they age,” said AARP Director of State Advocacy and Strategy Gerri Madrid-Davis. “AARP New York’s Disrupt Disparities initiative is giving us a special opportunity to shine a light on the particular challenges facing New York’s multicultural communities.”

“Hostos Community College is excited to co-host and be a part of this important discussion on Hispanic disparities in health, economic security, and livable communities,” said Christine Mangino, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs for Hostos Community College. “This work is in alignment with our mission and the reason we do what we do every day. Any opportunity we have to contribute to this discourse helps us serve our community.”

“We are asking policymakers, advocates and the public at large to share their knowledge and experiences of existing disparities so we can press public officials to adopt policy changes that address these inequalities,” added AARP’s Castro. “By closing the serious gaps that exist, people in Hispanic/Latino communities can enjoy the same stability and equal footing as everyone else by having more choices in how and where they live as they age.”
