https://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=78661392
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Nov. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- (NASDAQ: MAT) - Today, Barbie® honors journalists Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb as role models, or "Sheroes," for breaking boundaries to inspire the next generation of girls. The pair made history as the first female duo to anchor NBC's TODAY Show in the franchise's 66-year history. This milestone furthers girls and women alike, as the co-hosts bring a diverse perspective in the newsroom at a time when it's needed most. Guthrie and Kotb will be awarded one-of-a-kind dolls in their likeness at the Glamour Women of the Year Summit.

Barbie® honors journalists Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb as role models, or “Sheroes,” for breaking boundaries to inspire the next generation of girls.
This effort is part of the brand's commitment to show girls more role models through the Dream Gap Project, an ongoing global initiative to raise awareness around limiting factors that prevent girls from reaching their full potential. Research has shown that starting at the age of five, many girls are less likely than boys to view their own gender as smart and begin to lose confidence in their own competence -- this is coined the "Dream Gap."
To help close the Dream Gap, Barbie is committed to highlight a minimum of 10 role models annually, because showing girls more role models is an effective way to inspire their limitless potential. To date, the brand has surpassed this goal by highlighting more than 20 historical and modern role models in 2018.
"As we head into our 60th year, it is important that we continue to shine a light on female role models – or Sheroes as we call them – like Savannah and Hoda, to show girls they can be anything," said Lisa McKnight, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Barbie. "Savannah and Hoda have modernized morning news and allowed more women and girls to see themselves, and their stories, reflected on television."
At the Glamour Women of the Year Summit, Barbie will honor Guthrie and Kotb on stage and lead a conversation around supporting girls. This is not the first time Barbie has partnered with Glamour, as the brand honored Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first American Olympian to compete while wearing a hijab, and Ashley Graham, model and body activist, at past Glamour Women of the Year events.
"I'm so proud to continue the partnership with Barbie and The Dream Gap, especially in what we at Glamour consider to be the year of the woman," said editor-in-chief Samantha Barry. "It's more important than ever to show young girls that nothing is out of reach. These dolls represent a landmark moment for women this year, and I hope to inspire the next generation of women journalists."
While the co-hosts are gifted one-of-a-kind dolls, young fans can imagine themselves in the newsroom with the Barbie TV News Team Doll set, and play out different roles in other fields with more than 50 career doll options to choose from this holiday season.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hot Wheels announced Luis Rodriguez and his 2JetZ custom car as the winner of the Hot Wheels Legends Tour, a 15-stop tour that scoured the nation in search of a custom car worthy of being made into a 1:64 die-cast toy. The tour was launched in celebration of the brand's 50th anniversary.
[-chart]mma.prnewswire.com/media/777893/Hot_Wheels_Legends.jpg[/chart]
Rodriguez's 2JetZ, an open-wheeled jet car, was chosen from more than 3,600 custom cars entered in the Legends Tour and selected for its originality and arresting design. The announcement was made at the 2018 SEMA Show, world-renowned auto show in Las Vegas, where all 15 finalist cars are on display alongside Hot Wheels' fleet of life-size vehicles.
"All our Legends finalists on display at SEMA are winners — each custom build embodies originality, authenticity and the garage spirit," said Chris Down, SVP & General Manager, Hot Wheels. "The 2JetZ looks like it performs and everything about it was built from the ground up. Its forward design aesthetic will add variety to the Hot Wheels line and is a car that both adult fans and kids will love."
The 2JetZ design is inspired by a fighter plane in honor of American veterans. With more than 600 horsepower and a driver's seat in the middle of the vehicle, the car is crafted with a focus on high-performance and high-end design.
"Hot Wheels has crowned me as a winner, and I get the chance to represent some of the most creative and beautiful designs that I've seen," said Luis Rodriguez. "With my car, I wanted to create something from scratch that tested my ability as a builder and I am happy that the 2JetZ has taken me on this journey."
A team of judges, including Hot Wheels designers and automotive influencers, chose the Legends Tour winner for its authenticity, originality and garage spirit. The final team of judges included Jay Leno host of Jay Leno's Garage; YouTube influencer Tanner Fox; legendary Hot Wheels car designer Larry Wood; and car enthusiast Magnus Walker, among others.
"Hot Wheels has always been about variety and this year's 15 Legends finalists are a perfect example of that," said Down. "While 2018's winner is an open-wheeled jet car, who knows what we will see from next year's Legends challengers!"
SEMA Show attendees are invited to visit the Hot Wheels Pavilion (Booth #61045 in Silver Lot 1) to see all Legends Tour finalist cars and vehicles from the Hot Wheels Fleet. Also on display are Hot Wheels' 50th anniversary collaborations, including PUMA's custom sneakers inspired by the life-sized Hot Wheels cars and MOMO's Hot Wheels 50th anniversary-inspired high performance steering wheel and shifter.
The Legends Tour winner's life-size car and die-cast version will be inducted into the Hot Wheels Garage of Legends, a collection of one-of-a-kind cars immortalized as Hot Wheels die-casts that meet the brand's high standards of style and performance.

With only 24 percent of STEM jobs held by women*, the Barbie brand is not only encouraging girls to explore STEM through imaginative play with the doll, but also learn real coding skills. As part of a multi-year partnership with Tynker, the number one game-based platform that has helped more than 60 million kids learn to code, Mattel is launching six free Barbie-inspired coding experiences available starting today at tynker.com/BarbieYCBA. These lessons are designed to teach logic, problem-solving and the building blocks of coding while casting young learners in different roles alongside Barbie. By leveraging Mattel's strong portfolio of brands, this ongoing collaboration reinforces Tynker's mission of making coding and STEM education accessible and appealing to all students by meeting them where their interests lie and providing them with the foundational tools they need to learn to code.
"For almost 60 years, Barbie has exposed girls to roles where women are underrepresented to show them that they can be anything," said Lisa McKnight, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Barbie. "By playing with Robotics Engineer Barbie on and offline, we are giving girls a new platform for play in their imaginary world and teaching them important skills for their real world."
This is not the first time Barbie has explored STEM – since 1959, Barbie has held STEM roles including astronaut, scientist, video game developer and computer engineer. The brand also partners with experts in the field to ensure these dolls are an authentic representation of the profession and coding skills.
"Our mission is to empower youth to become the makers of tomorrow through coding, and the Barbie brand is an ideal partner to help us introduce programming to a large number of kids in a fun, engaging way," said Krishna Vedati, co-founder and CEO, Tynker. "It's critical that all young learners have an opportunity to explore the possibilities available in STEM fields, and Tynker's Barbie programming experience is a valuable tool to introduce kids of all ages to these concepts while building their coding skills."
To further pique girls' interest in STEM and expand on storytelling possibilities, the Barbie brand is also:
Partnering with Black Girls CODE – providing a grant of support to Black Girls CODE and gifting dolls at robotics workshops to reach young girls interested in developing skills in the field.
Debuting more Tynker coding content – continuing its multi-year partnership with Tynker to introduce seven lessons throughout the year and again timed to Hour of Code in December.
Releasing a Coding e-book – in collaboration with Information Science Professor and Coder Casey Fiesler, PhD, Barbie is releasing Code Camp for Barbie and Friends. The e-book is a kid-friendly introduction to the concepts of code and will be available for sale on Amazon.com.
The launch of Robotics Engineer Barbie is another example of how the Barbie brand is dedicated to highlighting #MoreRoleModels to show girls they can be anything. A new video, launching today, highlights career fields underrepresented by women with a call-to-action to inspire the next generation of girls.
Robotics Engineer Barbie is available today in four skin tones for $13.99 on Barbie.com and Amazon.com. For more information on Tynker and the larger program, please visit www.barbie.com/coding.

Lawmakers Question KKR, Bain Capital Over Toys 'R' Us Failure

Lawmakers Question KKR, Bain Capital Over Toys 'R' Us Failure
https://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=77819591
By Chris Cumming
Nineteen members of Congress sent a letter to the private-equity
backers of Toys "R" Us Inc. questioning their role in the
toy retailer's bankruptcy and criticizing the leveraged-buyout
model as an engine of business failure and job loss.
The July 5 letter was addressed to the heads of KKR & Co., Bain Capital and Vornado Realty Trust
and signed by 18 Democratic members of the House of Representatives
and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.).
It asks whether the investment firms deliberately pushed Toys "R" Us into bankruptcy
and encourages them to compensate the roughly 33,000 workers who
lost their jobs.
"Leveraged buyouts -- such as those facilitated by your companies -- often result in
mass job loss, closure of profitable businesses and unnecessary financial burdens for local government,
" the letter states. "Such buyouts harm communities,
while investment managers walk away with significant gains."
The letter is addressed to KKR's Co-Chief Executives George Roberts
and Henry Kravis, Bain Capital Co-Chairman Joshua Bekenstein,
and Vornado Chairman and Chief Executive Steven Roth,
and asks for a response to the questions by July 15.
It is an informal letter of inquiry and the firms aren't
legally obligated to reply, a congressional aide said.
KKR issued a response dated July 6 stating that Toys "R" Us's
troubles were caused by market forces --
specifically the growth of e-commerce retailers --
and that the decision to liquidate was made by the company's creditors, not KKR,
and was against the firm's wishes.
The letter, signed by KKR's global head of public affairs, Ken Mehlman, was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
"To be clear, we did not want the U.S. operations to be liquidated.
We wanted the company to restructure, return to health
and vitality and stay in business --
but the creditors had a different and prevailing view,"
KKR's response read.
Bain Capital didn't comment on the congressional letter.
Vornado didn't respond to a request for comment.
The letter may add to the pressure on the three investment firms
over their role in the
failure of Toys "R" Us, which filed for bankruptcy in September
and last week closed its U.S. stores.
Laid-off workers, union representatives and advocacy groups
for retail employees have pressured KKR's and Bain Capital's investors,
asking for $75 million in severance.
Minnesota's state pension suspended investments with KKR until
it conducts an investigation of the
New York firm's role in Toys "R" Us's collapse.
The Washington State Investment Board last month questioned
KKR executive Nate Taylor over the firm's management of the retailer.
In their letter, the lawmakers questioned the firms about the
debt burden they placed on Toys "R" Us
and asked what services they performed for the fees they collected,
whether they plan to pay severance to the workers who lost their
jobs and whether
any firm employees were involved in the decision to lay off the workers.
KKR stated in its response that it reinvested $3.5 billion in
Toys "R" Us over the course of its ownership and didn't take any investment profits.
It added that it wrote down its entire equity investment of
$418 million and challenged reports that it had earned a profit
on the investment.
"Even accounting for fees received from Toys 'R' Us, we have lost
many millions of dollars.
To find anyone who profited, one would need to look at the
institutions that pushed for Toys to liquidate its U.S. business,
" the firm wrote.
KKR wrote that it has been in touch with representatives of the
laid-off workers and "expressed our desire to help them."
"We believe we have found a path outside of the bankruptcy process
to help those who need it the most,
and we are committed to supporting this, " the firm said.
