It was an insightful media trip to Franklin, Tennessee, to visit with product planners, communications professionals, and Mitsubishi Motors engineers for a deeper understanding of the newly released 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The sporty and family SUV PHEV, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle,/ has a combined driving range of 420 miles. If you decide to cruise around town in EV mode only, the battery affords the Outlander 38 all-electric miles. The Japanese seven-seat, three-row SUV is a winner for consumers looking for a crossover utility blessed with talent, sporty styling, rugged capabilities, and extended range.
From the time the reimagined gasoline model hit the scene last year, the company’s 330 dealer partners across the United States have been engaged and selling Outlanders like holiday cupcakes. We are not sure why Mitsubishi took so long to reinvigorate the product, but they are no longer a forgotten brand. Of course progress must continue to take over the consciousness of auto buyers since Honda, Hyundai, and Toyota come to mind in the value SUV market. Nevertheless, Mitsubishi is aware of its disposition and attacking the airwaves with product announcements and marketing campaigns to win over potential new buyers. Furthermore, if an all-electric vehicle is not in your foreseeable future, a PHEV may be perfect for your lifestyle in preparation for the impending mobility shift.
“Since its launch in March 2022, the gasoline version of the all-new Outlander has been a homerun, setting sales records monthly even in the face of global supply challenges,” said Mark Chaffin, MMNA president and CEO. “When sales begin in the U.S., the 2023 Outlander PHEV will take its place as the flagship of the Mitsubishi fleet. It is the most advanced and best-equipped vehicle we have ever sold, and it is the perfect blend of quiet and clean electric motoring with the range and ease of refueling of a gasoline-powered vehicle.”
The latest third-generation Outlander is larger, wider, more authentic, and more resilient than the model it replaces. With a solid and rigid physique and dazzling 20” two-tone alloy rims, the SUV is embraced by stellar visualization that translates to one of the most stylish SUVs on the market. According to Mitsubishi, the design ethos manifested from the phrase “I-Fu-Do-Do,” which equates to “authentic and majestic” in Japanese. Before this model, I had never considered an Outlander because it did not speak to me or offer any substantial benefits to my lifestyle. Well, now it does with a chiseled body, aggressive “Dynamic Shield” grille, tall robotic headlamps, a power liftgate, a panoramic sunroof, and an impressively curated interior that immediately caught my attention.
Mitsubishi’s Global Warning plan will help establish a sustainable society by reducing the CO2 emissions of its new vehicles by 40% by 2030, with PHEVs as the focal point. The long-term goal is to achieve a net-zero carbon footprint by 2050. Thus, this platform is not new to the brand as they first experimented with electrification in 1971 with the MINICA EV and also sold a prior Outlander PHEV in other countries. The current 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV features a new generation of the Mitsubishi twin-motor 4WD PHEV system with more power produced from the front (114-horsepower) and rear (134-horsepower) motors that pair with a 20 kWh large capacity 350v lithium-ion drive battery. The 2.4-liter 4-cylinder MIVEC gas engine (132 horsepower) remains and pairs with a larger plastic-sealed gas tank (from 11.9 gallons to 14.8 gallons), reducing the vehicle’s weight and allowing for more fuel. The combined powertrain produces 248-horsepower, 332 lb/ft torque, and 64 MPGe. On the road, the Outlander PHEV is smooth, quick, and never felt underpowered. Additionally, the vehicle will always seek the electric motors as the first power source. Overall, the Outlander PHEV weighs 440 pounds more than the Outlander ICE (Internal Combustion Engine).
Regarding charging, the port is located on the Outlander PHEV’s rear passenger side. It will take 6.5 hours to charge the battery using a 240v level-2 charger and 38 minutes through level 3 DC fast charging up to 80%. The SUV features an EV button with four modes: Normal, Charge, Save, and EV mode. Then there is the Innovative Pedal which allows the driver to use one pedal for acceleration and braking for most driving scenarios.
Inside the PHEV I enjoyed the double-pained windows for noise reduction, genuine aluminum trim, multi-view cameras, smartphone wireless charging, window shades, 100v AC power sources, physical knobs on the 9″ touchscreen infotainment system, dynamic navigation graphics, and the impressive 9-speaker Bose premium sound system. However, Mitsubishi needs to increase the size of the infotainment system since 9″ is small by today’s standards. In the rear, the third row folds out from the floor, but its use is for emergencies or small kids since long hauls would be uncomfortable. The high-quality cabin is spacious, and the softer materials add a flare of elegance. I also relished the massaging feature on the sporty seats.
On the road, the PHEV’s Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) offers superior gripping and agility capabilities. The dual-motor arrangement uses the rear motor to drive the rear axle and up-front employs the gas engine and motor to drive the front axle. This combo brings extra confidence behind the wheel, especially during high-speed turns which I experienced at a small racetrack in TN. The Outlander PHEV shifts dramatically from right to left with aplomb when an explosive maneuver is required. S-AWC has been upgraded with seven drive modes to tackle adverse weather or venture effortlessly through muddy terrain as I also experienced in a mud pit at the track. S-AWC simultaneously provided excellent handling performance, stability performance, and traction performance. The modes include Normal, Eco, Gravel, Power, Snow, Tarmac, and Mud.
With no federal incentives available, the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV costs approximately $8,000 more than the ICE Outlander. Prices fluctuate from $39,845 for an SE model to $49,995 for the 40th Anniversary Edition. Safety abounds with packages like Adaptive Cruise Control with Traffic Jam Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, Traffic Sign Recognition, Driver Attention Alert, Automatic High Beam, and Hill Descent Control, to name a few. Lastly, Mitsubishi offers a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty. Not bad for a vehicle that will be good to you in almost every department.

Lids is releasing an exclusive collection of WNBA New Era hats.
Unlike typical WNBA hats, this is the first time that New Era has designed fitted, team-specific WNBA headwear. Even beyond that, no other hat brand has released a fashion colorway specific for WNBA teams. Lids, through its Lids Hat Drop ecommerce and in-store platforms, is the first retailer to release a hat of this kind, with retro logos and side patches from previous years. Inspired by the nostalgic look of the women’s sports apparel industry, this first-of-its-kind collection is a nod to the first 8 WNBA teams that started in the inaugural season.
Since Lids’ founding in 1993, the brand has quickly expanded, to date there are over 1,500 Lids stores throughout North America, Europe, and Australia. Lids continues to be the world’s largest retailer specializing in the sale of officially licensed, branded, and fashion headwear, with over 30 million hats sold annually.
In collaboration with Made for the W, the collection will be sold online exclusively on LidsHatDrop.com exclusive and will only be available in-store at the recently opened Lids Hat Drop store in Jamaica, Queens, NY. Following the success of the Lids Hat Drop e-commerce platform, which launched earlier this year, the new Lids Hat Drop store operates similarly to its e-commerce counterpart with exclusive and limited-edition drops every Friday at 11AM EST.
A study warns teens to be on high alert for online scams this holiday season as they are now falling for scams faster than every other age group.
The money lost by teens grew by 1125% over the last five years compared to 390% for seniors. Teens lost just $8.2 million in 2017 compared to $101.4 million last year. This speaks to the growing sophistication of scammers and the overconfidence of tech-savvy teens online.
Social Catfish released a study on the State of Internet Scams 2022 after analyzing data from the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center and the FTC released in 2022.
A record $6.9 billion was lost to online scams in 2021, up nearly double from $3.5 billion in 2019.
California ranked No. 1 with 67,095 victims losing $1,227,989,139 last year, an average loss of $18,302.
1) Romance Scams: During the holidays, teenagers who feel lonely — despite being surrounded by family — turn online looking for connection. Romance scammers approach them with stolen photos of an attractive suitor, shower them with love and affection, and begin asking for money.
How to Avoid: Perform a reverse image search to confirm their identity.
2) Social Media Influencer Free Holiday Giveaways: Scammers create fake Tik Tok and Instagram accounts to impersonate popular social media influencers. They offer free product giveaways and include a link to redeem the product. It is a phishing link that steals all of your data.
How to Avoid: Fake accounts have few followers. Never click on any suspicious links.
3) Online Shopping Scams: Teens do most of their holiday shopping online and scammers are creating fake stores and running ads offering holiday discounts. The fraudulent look-a-like website looks may look legitimate at first glance, but any products purchased will never arrive.
How to Avoid: Fake sites have spelling errors in the URL and grammatical errors across the site.
Seun Kuti, the legendary Afrobeat family scion, has released his new EP with Black Thought, the co-founder and MC of Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show house band The Roots. The record, titled African Dreams, is comprised of three hip-hop remixes of songs from Seun Kuti & Egypt 80’s 2018 Grammy®-nominated Black Times and is produced by Molotov, mixed by Q Million, mastered by Chris Athens, and distributed by AWAL, with album artwork by Oddhouse.
The duo released an animated music video for the record’s lead single, “Kuku Kee Me (Remix),” on September 22, before the track dropped on September 23. The song is an official soundtrack selection for FIFA 23 that perfectly marries the artists’ unique but global perspectives, combing funky beats and blistering verses to share the message of “people power” in the world today.
The two previously worked together on Common’s single “When We Move,” which debuted worldwide for UN World Oceans Day before a performance on The Tonight Show, with footage of Seun Kuti at The New Afrika Shrine in Lagos intercut with Common, Black Thought, and The Roots live on-stage at Rockefeller Center in New York.
This new album follows Seun Kuti & Egypt 80’s June 24 release of Live at Clout Studios, a two-track EP recorded at the renowned premises of Cool FM 96.9 on Victoria Island in Lagos. It also comes at the end of Seun Kuti & Egypt 80’s whirlwind international tour, which began in Leeds on June 1 and concluded in Madrid on November 7, hitting stops at major festivals and unique venues across the US, UK, and Europe along the way.
The tracklist is as follows: 1. “African Dreams (Remix)” 2. “Bad Man Lighter (Remix)” 3. “Kuku Kee Me (Remix)”
The Board of Trustees of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Foundation has met under the chairmanship of Mr. Iñigo Urkullu, Lehendakari (Basque premier). In attendance were Mr. Unai Rementeria, Deputy-General for Bizkaia and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Foundation; Mr. Bingen Zupiria, Councillor for Culture and Linguistic Policy of the Basque Government; Ms. Lorea Bilbao, Regional Deputy for Basque Language, Culture and Sport; Mr. Juan María Aburto, Mayor of Bilbao; representatives of the firms and institutions that form part of the Board of the Foundation (some online); and the Directors of the Guggenheim Museums of New York and Bilbao, Mr. Richard Armstrong (online) and Mr. Juan Ignacio Vidarte.
The meeting began with a survey of the activity over the past year, which has seen the number of visitors rise to the current figure of 1,247,599, 55% above the estimate for this period and more than double the number accumulated at the same date in 2021. The positive trend has been maintained throughout the year, with the exhibition Motion. Autos, Art, Architecture registering more than 750,000 visits in five months, and the summer of 2022 ranking as the summer season with the highest visitor numbers in history. Over the months, the percentage of foreign visitors, which fell drastically during the pandemic, has been recovering, and currently represents 54% of the total.
As regards collectives linked to the Museum, Community (the community centered on art and culture, which groups the Museum Members and Followers and the beneficiaries of the ERDU program, among others) has registered the involvement of more than 183,000 people, with over 22,000 Museum Members and doubling the number of Followers in comparison with the close of 2021.
The positive growth of the operating profits obtained by the Museum (entrance fees, sales at the Store/Bookstore, and sponsorships) has permitted a 1,500,000 euro reduction in public subsidies, a sum which the Institutions will use for the purchase of artworks.
In this session, the budget for the 2023 tax year was approved on the basis of an estimated total of 950,000 visitors. The operating budget comes to 32,665,379 euros, 8.1% more than last year, owing among other reasons to increased energy costs and a rise in the CPI.
Also approved in this meeting was the artistic program for 2023, which will feature great figures of modern and contemporary art. It begins on February 10 with Joan Miró. Absolute Reality. Paris, 1920–1945, a fundamental period in Miró’s career, to continue on March 17 with a major retrospective on the Austrian artist Oskar Kokoschka, and with a presentation of recent work by the British artist Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, which can be seen from March 31 to September 10. On June 27, the Museum will host an exhibition on the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, which will provide an in-depth survey of her life and long artistic career, while Picasso. Matter and Body, a show on Picasso’s sculptural production, will open on September 29 as part of the commemorations of the 50th anniversary of the artist’s death. The recent practice of Marine Hugonnier, a French artist based in London, can be seen in the Film & Video gallery of the Museum from October 27, while a retrospective on the work of the German-Venezuelan artist Gego, which will trace the development of this artist’s singular approach to abstraction, will be inaugurated on November 3. The 2023 program will be completed with the presentation of Works from the Collection of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
Also presented in this session was a report on progress in the implementation of the Strategic Plan for 2021–23 and its scheduled commitments in areas like digital transformation, education and public programs, projects related to environmental sustainability, the latest advances in studies on the project for the discontinuous extension of the Museum in Urdaibai, and the commemorative events of the 25th Anniversary.
In this respect, the Museum has shared all kinds of initiatives with local citizens throughout the year, encompassing disciplines like art, music, literature, architecture, science, dance, performance, and theater. The grand finale was Immersions, an extraordinary spectacle of enveloping sound and light projections that was enjoyed by approximately 50,000 spectators in the Atrium. As a continuation of Reflections, it brought the story of the Museum and the city inside the building.
Google Maps is one of the most popular navigation platforms, and for a good reason. It takes plenty of data from various sources, including websites, users, and businesses, offering it as an integrative platform for all users. Google Maps is reliable and easy to use, making it efficient for small businesses wanting to develop custom maps. Currently, Google Maps allows users to pin multiple locations simultaneously, although it’s a lesser-known functionality.
How to Pin Multiple Locations with Google Maps?
You’ll need a list of all locations to map multiple locations on Google Maps. The address file should include all individual addresses but can also include detailed information like latitude and longitude data. Your spreadsheet will need at least two columns of data, although the order of the columns doesn’t matter.
To start:
Visit the Google Maps website by entering maps.google.com in your web browser.
Sign into your Google account and select the menu icon in the top corner of the screen.
From there, choose the “Your Places” button.
Locate the “Maps” tab to start building your map, and select the “Create Map” icon on the bottom menu. Give your map a name and add an adequate description. To locate the import button, click on the three dots and open the layer menu. Select the file that contains your spreadsheet data and choose to open the file. Google Maps will automatically plot all points onto the map.
Customizing Your Google Map
Unfortunately, Google Maps offers fewer custom options than third-party programs, but they present a few options. If custom options are essential to your company (for example, custom colors, design, and mapping options), consider purchasing a program like Maptive. This program allows complete personalization while integrating with Google Maps. After locations upload to the program and appear on the map, users can personalize the physical appearance of the map within the settings.
To get started with Google Maps, here are a few customization options available:
Adding Individual Markers
If you’d like to add an additional marker to the map, click the “Add Marker” button on the page and select the location you’d like the marker. Users can personalize the marker color if they want the new marker to stand out.
Changing the Style and Color of Pins
When you’d like to change the style and color of your pins, simply click the “Uniform Style” button and choose another styling option available.
Adding Additional Points of Interest
Adding points of interest to your map can connect users with additional components to your map. These items might include restaurants, hotels, businesses, etc. To add a point of interest, perform a simple search for the location in the search bar. Select the location you’d like to add from the drop-down results. Choosing a location will focus on the point of interest on the map, with the option of adding the site as a marker on your map.
Adding a Custom Google Map Style
Users can change how a map looks by choosing the “Base Map” button. This button will create a menu where users can change the map style. Choose the map style that works best for your business, or return the map to default settings by clicking “Reset to Default.”
How to Search Through Your Markers
Google Maps currently offers a built-in search function that allows users to search by category, label, or location name. Use the main search bar at the top of the application to search for your marker’s name, address, or category.
How to Navigate Between Markers
Clicking on a marker within Google Maps will bring an option “Directions to Here” icon. Selecting this icon will start creating a route within the map. To create a route between two markers, click on another marker icon. Users can also add custom directions to the map by choosing the “Add Directions” button at the top of the software.
How to Share or Embed Your Map
When you’re happy with the map, sharing is relatively simple. Start by clicking on the “+ Share” button. If you’d like to add your custom map to a professional blog or website, choose the “Embed” button and pick the size you want. To embed the map, copy the text in the box and paste that code into the HTML.
There are many reasons why you’d want to try and find a person online. For example, you may want to reconnect with long-lost relatives or friends from school or college, or there may be some new business contacts you’d like to make.
These days it’s easier than ever to find a person if they want to be found, that is.
With the help of the internet, numerous people search tools are available to you. Here are a few different options.
Google
As obvious as it may sound, start your search with Google. You’ll need to be a little savvier than just typing in a person’s name and hitting enter, though.
The person’s name and city, school, or employer (if known) will narrow down the search results.
Google also has advanced boolean search options that you can use to limit the results.
Social media
If a person wants to be found, they’ll almost always have a social media presence. Globally nearly 40% of the population have a Facebook profile, and 82% of North Americans do.
Don’t despair if you can’t find them on Facebook. Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and TikTok are gaining the users that Facebook loses. So spread your social media net further, and you’ll have more success.
School search sites
Finding former school pals is slightly more manageable as you already have more information. For example, you know the years they were there and possibly even clubs and associations they may have been in.
There are sites dedicated to school searches. Alumni.net and Classmates.com are two of the biggest and have been around almost since the internet began.
Family trees
To find a long-lost relative, there are resources available there too. If a family member has put the time and effort into compiling an online family tree, that’s an excellent place to start.
Ancestry.com is the biggest of these sites. Take it a step further with AncestryDNA. A simple DNA test could discover relatives you didn’t even know you had and the one you’re looking for.
MyHeritage.com is a similar site that claims to have 1400 genealogical databases to search from.
Reverse searches
Reverse searches are gaining in popularity. If you already have some contact information or even a photograph of the person, a reverse search could get you more details.
If you have a phone number or an email address, there are websites where you can enter the details. They’ll provide you with further information on the registered owner.
Photographs are an excellent way of finding someone online. Even Google has a reverse image search function. So if that photo has been uploaded online, you’ll be able to match it and gain more data about the person.
LinkedIn
Making business connections is easier if you have a LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn makes it very clear they are not to be considered social media.
Yes, they are a social network, but their role isn’t to entertain. It’s to form business connections, a social sales tool and claims to be the best and biggest referral engine on the planet.
The difference between LinkedIn and social media is that you connect via other people. It’s based on the 6 degrees of separation concept. You may not directly know the person you want to contact, but someone you connect with does know them.
Public records
Unless a person really doesn’t want to be found and is an expert at covering their tracks, they’ll have some form of public record.
An excellent site to use is BeenVerified.com. It’s primarily used to run background checks on people.
Unlike many other sites mentioned, you can’t actually connect with the person from here, but contact information may appear in search results. Therefore, this site is beneficial if you only have vehicle or property details.
Get online and get searching
Narrowing down how to find someone online depends on how you know or wish to connect with them.
Always begin with a Google search; this may negate the need to try anything further. Social media is your next stop, especially if that person wants to be found.
Long lost school friends or relatives may be able to be reconnected via alumni or ancestry sites. And you can make business connections successfully via LinkedIn.
If people don’t want to be found, for whatever reason, that’s their prerogative. However, somebody they know may be able to provide more details about them. Don’t give up.
From the life, professional experiences, and research of former Harvard Business School professor Steven S. Rogers comes his boldly stated, A Letter to My White Friends and Colleagues. This informative epistle investigates the causes of racial wealth disparity in the United States and provides solutions for addressing it. Through extensive data and historical research, anecdotes, teaching, and case studies, it presents practical ways White people can work with and help the Black community. It teaches readers that eliminating the $153,000 wealth gap between Black and White people is the solution to over 75% of our problems and offers solutions to help improve Black-White racial relations in the United States.
In straightforward language, filled with facts, stories, advice, and sometimes even humor, A Letter to My White Friends and Colleagues encourages every White person to share his/her wealth with the Black community—plain and simple. This book recommends that you spend a portion of your annual household budget with Black-owned companies. If more money is spent on Black-owned businesses, those companies can grow and create more jobs for Black people. Rogers also proposes White people make large savings deposits into Black-owned banks. These are the financial institutions that are the backbone of the Black community that provides loans to the Black community for businesses, education, automobiles, and home mortgages.
And finally, he resolutely encourages White people to support government reparations to Black Americans who are descendants of Black men and women, who were enslaved from 1619 to 1865.
During our introspective conversation, Rogers educates our audience on the following:
Disrupt the societal norms that have been so pervasive and implement simple changes to close the racial wealth divide.
Understand the root causes of racial disparities in America
Discover how they can personally contribute to reducing the inequality between Black and White people in the United States today
Understand why it is important to redirect their spending to Black-owned institutions to help decrease the racial wealth gap
Understand the politics of financial apartheid by sharing real-world examples of why simple things are made unnecessarily difficult because of skin color
Why many in the black community are feeling racial fatigue and how to help turn this around
“Steven Rogers is a brilliant and courageous thinker who makes us unsettled in order to get us to be real forces for good!” —Cornel West
“Steven Rogers brings a unique perspective to America’s long-standing challenge over the issues of race. Educated at Williams and Harvard Business School, he has leveraged his education, his intellect, and his ambition to achieve great success in both business and academia. From his professional perches, Rogers offers highly valuable advice to help diminish, if not erase, racial bias in our society. We can and need to do better, and Rogers’s prescriptions for the privileged among us is a solid roadmap to do just that.” —John A. Byrne, former Executive Editor of Businessweek magazine and Editor-in-Chief of Fast Company magazine, currently CEO and Editor-in-Chief of C-Change Media
“This book is a comprehensive accounting of the ongoing effects of racism. Rogers brings his finance and business expertise to explain the legacy of systemic exclusions on the current gaps in wealth. Not only does he cover the facts and the history with meticulous care, but he also proposes solutions for businesses, individuals, and governments focused on tangible remedies. This book is a must-read not just for Rogers’s white colleagues, but for anyone interested in being a part of the solution.” —Mehrsa Baradaran, author of The Color of Money and Professor of Law at UC Irvine School of Law
“Steven S. Rogers established the act without hesitation in plain language. Not surprisingly, I and many of our marginalized advocates will take action, calling for the well-deserved reparations to be made. It is time for our ancestors to receive justice for all the financial burdens that systemic racism in America has created. I am literally in contact with Congressman Ritchie Torres as my thumbs firmly press on the smartphone glass.” —Vaughn Lowery, President of 360 MAGAZINE, an NGLCC certified LGBT business enterprise.
