Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 MEDIA WEBSITE: HyundaiNews.com CORPORATE WEBSITE: HyundaiUSA.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2011 HYUNDAI GENESIS OFFERS HIGHER­OUTPUT TAU V8 ENGINE Miles Johnson Jim Trainor Senior Manager, Quality, Service and Technology Director (714) 366­1048 (714) 594­1629 [email protected] [email protected] ID: 27842 FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. Aug. 13, 2010 ­ The Genesis 4.6 returns this year with 10 extra horses added to the award­winning Tau® V8 engine for a total of 385 horsepower and more standard features from last year’s Technology package. The 10 additional horsepower were added as a running change in 2010 model year and propel the Genesis 4.6 from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.3 seconds (2010 5.7 seconds). The Tau still produces more horsepower and torque than the powerplants found in the Lexus GS460 and Audi A8. It also delivers more horsepower per liter than any of these V8 competitors. Genesis 4.6 continues to offer buyers the option to use premium or regular fuel. The Tau is rated at 378 horsepower on regular fuel and 385 horsepower on premium fuel and has been one of Ward’s Auto’s 10 best engines for two consecutive years. For the 2011 model year, Genesis 4.6 has further enhanced its already astonishing list of standard equipment by adding more premium features as standard equipment. Genesis 4.6 now comes equipped with features that were previously optional, such as the Lexicon® 7.1 Discrete surround­sound audio system with 17 speakers, Ultimate Navigation System featuring the intuitive Driver Information System (DIS) with 8­inch screen, smart cruise control, electronic parking brake, cooled driver seat, adaptive front lighting system with HID headlights, and parking assistance system featuring front and rear sensors and rearview camera. The Genesis 3.8 retains its same content and great starting price of $33,000, excluding freight. Genesis was also the North American Car of the Year in 2009. NEW EQUIPMENT HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2011 10 horsepower increase to Genesis 4.6’s Tau V8 engine Technology Package content now standard on Genesis 4.6 GENESIS Genesis is built on Hyundai’s performance­driven rear­wheel­drive architecture. It offers two powertrains, the Lambda 3.8­liter V6 engine and Hyundai’s Tau 4.6­liter V8 engine. The Tau leads all competitors in specific output with 82.2 (regular fuel) to 83.7 (premium fuel) horsepower per liter, respectively. With technology rivaling more expensive luxury sedans, Genesis showcases features such as XM NavTraffic®, Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFLS), Lexicon audio systems and electronic active head restraints. (For a full list of leading features, see page 9). PERFORMANCE­DRIVEN REAR­WHEEL­DRIVE ARCHITECTURE The Genesis’ rear­wheel­drive architecture was the first application of such in a U.S. Hyundai model. The vehicle boasts a near ideal 52/48 front­to­rear weight distribution for exceptional handling and more refined steering characteristics. The rear­wheel­drive layout also allows engineers to position the car’s front wheels farther forward, delivering outstanding handling and steering performance. Standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC), the industry’s most important new safety technology, further enhances the vehicle’s driving confidence. Genesis reduces interior noise levels and improves ride and handling with a stiffer, lighter body structure. The use of high tensile steel in critical areas in the unibody provides Genesis with high dynamic torsional rigidity and a low body structure weight. Hyundai Genesis also has more interior volume than Lexus LS460 and BMW 750i.

The Tau engine is built with flexibility for the future. Future Tau variants may offer larger displacement, forced induction options and other technology enhancements. STRONG LAMBDA V6 PERFORMANCE Genesis also delivers spirited performance through a 3.8­liter DOHC V6 engine that delivers 290 horsepower and 264 lbs.­ft. of torque. To maximize the power spread, the engine uses Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) on intake and exhaust cam shafts and a new Variable Intake System (VIS) that helps cylinders breathe efficiently at low and high RPM. The better­breathing results in outstanding off­the­line acceleration, passing performance, and remarkable fuel efficiency. The V6 engine uses an alloy block and cylinder heads for lighter weight and thermal efficiency, and features timing chains with no scheduled maintenance. Even with their impressive output, both Genesis engines are also environmentally friendly, achieving Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) certification levels. ADVANCED 6­SPEED TRANSMISSIONS The Genesis V6 engine is mated to an Aisin® 6­speed SHIFTRONIC automatic transmission that features an overdrive lock­up torque converter for improved highway fuel economy. The transmission offers smooth shifts and a wide spread of ratios that ideally suit the engine's characteristics, including a tall­overdrive sixth gear for quiet, efficient highway cruising. Drivers can access the SHIFTRONIC feature by moving the gear selector into a separate gate. Pushing the selector forward or pulling it rearward will shift the transmission up or down sequentially, adding to driver control. A clear LCD readout on the instrument panel shows the gear that's in use. The Tau V8 Genesis is mated with an enhanced, ZF 6­speed transmission to handle the added horsepower and torque. INNOVATIVE AND SOPHISTICATED SPORT­TUNED SUSPENSION Genesis features a suspension design that is among the most sophisticated and refined anywhere, at any price. The front five­link suspension features upper and lower arms linking the front wheels to the chassis. This artfully articulated arrangement creates a virtual king pin axis that dramatically reduces unwanted kickback through the steering wheel as well as improving responsiveness. The five­link independent rear suspension is equally sophisticated, enabling precise suspension geometry for a premium ride and engaging handling prowess. The capabilities of the advanced front and rear­suspension are maximized through Amplitude Selective Dampers (ASD) allowing tuning flexibility at smaller damper displacements. The ASD suspension provides: Improved ride comfort with more body / wheel control Increased driving comfort without compromised handling Optimized road surface contact Technology used in Lexus, BMW and Mercedes­Benz models PROGRESSIVE DESIGN MIRRORS ATHLETIC CAPABILITY Genesis’ design is a progressive interpretation of the modern rear­wheel drive sports sedan. To match its dynamic capabilities, Genesis combines strong, sculpted forms which integrate precise details, natural materials and innovative lighting to provide a well­ crafted, premium design aesthetic. HIGH­TECH ACCOMMODATIONS AT ACCESSIBLE PRICE POINTS From its design and spaciousness to its technology and appointments, Genesis delivers a wealth of features and performance befitting flagship European and Asian brands, but delivers them at a much more accessible price point. Starting with its Lexicon state­of­the­art audio system featuring 7.1 Discrete surround sound technology, Genesis offers an extraordinary combination of technology, premium appointments and value. Standard is a soft­touch instrument panel with woodgrain accents, Bluetooth® hands­free phone interface, and iPod®/USB and auxiliary input jacks. In addition to the aforementioned in­dash unit, a top­of­the­ line navigation system with an eight­inch display is available as part of the Genesis 3.8 Technology Package and standard on Genesis 4.6. The navigation unit is accessed by a user­friendly multi­media controller that also controls the radio. Backing out of tight spaces and avoiding mishaps is much easier with the available backup camera that uses the eight­inch display to show the driver a clear view immediately behind the car. A leather­wrapped dash, door panels and console lid surround the driver in a luxurious environment, while the heated and cooled driver seat provides optimal driving comfort. An automatic windshield defogger with humidity sensor and rain­sensing wipers allow crystal clear sight lines. Genesis also offers the conveniences of power rear sunshade, proximity key and push­button start. Ultra­ premium leather seating surfaces are now standard on Genesis 3.8 models equipped with the Premium Package. LEXICON AUDIO SYSTEMS TEAM WITH XM, HD RADIO TO OFFER UNRIVALED AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND CHOICE The Lexicon surround sound audio system includes a 12­channel digital amplifier and 17 speakers producing 528 watts of sound in 7.1 Discrete audio. Genesis is also the first popular brand to offer the clarity of digital HD Radio® technology from the factory. Navigation­equipped Genesis models also include a 40­gigabyte hard drive and XM NavTraffic. Like every 2011 Hyundai, Genesis comes standard with XM Satellite Radio®, and iPod/USB and auxiliary input jacks allow drivers to fully control and charge iPods directly from the head unit.

    Evaluation & Research Literature: the State of Knowledge on BJA

    Evaluation & Research Literature: The State of Knowledge on BJA-Funded Programs March 27, 2015 Overview The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is a leader in developing and implementing evidence-based criminal justice policy and practice. BJA’s mission is to provide leadership in services and grant administration and criminal justice policy development to support local, state, and Tribal justice strategies to achieve safer communities. This is accomplished in many criminal justice topic areas, including adjudication, corrections, counter-terrorism, crime prevention, justice information sharing, law enforcement, justice and mental health, substance abuse, and Tribal justice. Under each topic area, BJA funds numerous programs and initiatives at the Tribal, local, and state level. In partnership with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), other Federal partners, and many other research partners, many of these programs have been evaluated, while others have not. The intent of the following report is to assess the state of knowledge as determined by data collection, research, and evaluation of and related to BJA- funded programs. This report is a resource that can be a reference for both evaluation and research literature on many BJA programs. It also identifies programs and practices for which U.S. Department of Justice resources have played a critical role in generating innovative programs and sound practices. This report identifies programs and practices with a solid foundation of evidence, as well as those that may benefit from further research and evaluation. Program evaluation is a systematic, objective process for determining the success of a policy or program. Evaluations assess whether and to what extent the program is achieving its goals and objectives.

    ASRXXX10.1177/0003122415618991American Sociological ReviewHechter et al. 6189912015 American Sociological Review 1 –25 Grievances and the Genesis © American Sociological Association 2015 DOI: 10.1177/0003122415618991 of Rebellion: Mutiny in the http://asr.sagepub.com Royal Navy, 1740 to 1820 Michael Hechter,a Steven Pfaff,b and Patrick Underwoodb Abstract Rebellious collective action is rare, but it can occur when subordinates are severely discontented and other circumstances are favorable. The possibility of rebellion is a check—sometimes the only check—on authoritarian rule. Although mutinies in which crews seized control of their vessels were rare events, they occurred throughout the Age of Sail. To explain the occurrence of this form of high-risk collective action, this article holds that shipboard grievances were the principal cause of mutiny. However, not all grievances are equal in this respect. We distinguish between structural grievances that flow from incumbency in a subordinate social position and incidental grievances that incumbents have no expectation of suffering. Based on a case- control analysis of incidents of mutiny compared with controls drawn from a unique database of Royal Navy voyages from 1740 to 1820, in addition to a wealth of qualitative evidence, we find that mutiny was most likely to occur when structural grievances were combined with incidental ones. This finding has implications for understanding the causes of rebellion and the attainment of legitimate social order more generally. Keywords social movements, collective action, insurgency, conflict, military authority Since the 1970s, grievances have had a roller grievances that are situational and unlikely to coaster career in studies of insurgency and appear in standard datasets, together with the collective action.

(Genesis, or the Company) (NYSE:GEN), one of the largest post-acute care providers in the United States, today announced operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 and provided an update regarding the impact of the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on its business. “As the effects of COVID-19 persist in the United States, the Company’s primary focus continues to be on the health and safety of its patients, residents, employees and their respective families,” stated George V. Hager, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Genesis. “I am extremely grateful for the heroism, resolve and sacrifice of our frontline caregivers and workers fighting the pandemic, along with our dedicated regional and corporate staff who are supporting their efforts on the ground. I am also very proud of the leadership role Genesis is playing in the fight against COVID-19 in partnership with the Administration, public health officials at the federal, state and local levels, and our peers and partners in the industry, as well as the academic community.” “The virus is having a significant adverse impact on the Company’s revenues and expenses, particularly given the Company’s concentration in hard-hit Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states. Before considering funds recognized under the CARES Act and various state Medicaid programs, we estimate the impact of incremental expenses and lost revenue caused by COVID-19 in the second quarter of 2020 was approximately $213 million.

The challenge for new millennium activists is to find the courage to let go of all their old orthodoxies […] and to commit to a “ruthless criticism of all that exists.” And after that, the big challenge is to bring revolutionary consciousness and contestation back into the modern world […].” —Kalle Lasn, Culture Jam, 1999 “The past [fifty] years have demonstrated that uncontrolled economic power de- stroys the organic basis of human society, causing insecurity, depletion of earn- ings, the unraveling of family connections, the rise of inequality, poverty, vio- lence and crime, and the malignant neglect of our social and natural habitat. We make things worse by blaming each other, attacking symptoms rather than causes, abandoning our principles and ideals, and attempting an impossi- ble return to the past […we need] a more intelligible picture of our world and a more penetrating diagnosis of our malady [… showing] how efforts at reform, including the counterculture and mainstream liberalism, failed not because of unattainable goals but because of reliance on a false map of reality—a map shared with today’s conservatives. Once this map is discarded, we regain our ability to imagine a far better and more hopeful future.” —Charles Reich, Opposing The System, 1995 “If we are to escape our present downward and destructive course, we must learn from the failure of past efforts at reform, revolution, and renewal.
