A través de sitios web o perfiles de redes sociales, estas personas proporcionan al consumidor información falsa y engañosa sobre los productos que ofrece 3M, su origen y características; así como también -de forma engañosa- comercializan productos que ostentan ser de la marca a precios elevados y abusivos, e incluso en ocasiones ofrecen productos que son falsificados o no son del portafolio de 3M; situación que en muchos casos es ilegal, y que queda al descubierto una vez que el consumidor ha pagado por los supuestos productos y nunca les son entregados o les llegan productos falsificados y/o pagan por ellos un precio excesivo, incluso si resultan ser auténticos.

Dado estos lamentables escenarios, 3M pone a disposición de los usuarios, la siguiente información que les ayudará a identificar productos falsificados 3M:

A.  Los respiradores N95 de 3M no deberían ser vendidos en las redes sociales por individuos o empresas.

B.  Asimismo, no está autorizada la venta de respiradores N95 de 3M de forma individual o sin su empaque original (deben incluir las instrucciones de uso).

C.  3M cuenta con estrictos estándares de calidad, por lo que los productos con partes faltantes, olores extraños, válvulas bloqueadas y/o palabras mal escritas pueden llegar a ser no auténticos.

D.  Para la compra legítima de respiradores N95 3M, recomendamos visitar nuestra página web oficial local y consultar con nuestros comercializadores autorizados: 

E.  Nuestros perfiles en redes sociales son «cuentas verificadas» respectivamente https://www.facebook.com/3MLatinoAmerica  https://www.instagram.com/3mlatinoamerica/

3M no tolera ni tolerará, el fraude, la falsificación de sus productos u otras actividades que ilegalmente quieran aprovecharse de la demanda de productos críticos de 3M durante esta pandemia. De igual forma, la compañía seguirá identificando y dando seguimiento con las autoridades competentes para llevar hasta las últimas instancias las denuncias correspondientes.

Finalmente, 3M reitera la invitación a todas las personas que se hayan visto afectadas por este tipo de acciones ilegales o si tienen sospecha del origen y autenticidad de los productos 3M comercializados por una persona o empresa distinta – a los canales de distribución autorizados- a realizar su denuncia a través del sitio https://engage.3m.com/covidfraud_es_LATAM

miR Scientific’s Breakthrough Sentinel Disease Management Platform Receives 2020 Innovation Award

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — miR Scientific, LLC announced today that its disease management platform for prostate cancer has been selected as the winner in Questex’s 2020 Fierce Innovation Awards — Life Sciences Edition in the Medical Device Innovation category.  The Fierce…

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — miR Scientific, LLC announced today that its disease management platform for prostate cancer has been selected as the winner in Questex’s 2020 Fierce Innovation Awards — Life Sciences Edition in the Medical Device Innovation category.  The Fierce Innovation Awards, a peer-reviewed awards program from the publisher of FierceBiotech and FiercePharma, has recognized miR Scientific for the miR Sentinel™ Prostate Test platform as an industry leading medical device innovation.

«Receiving the medical innovation award during National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month from such an extraordinarily accomplished peer-review panel of one of the industry’s leading publishing groups further invigorates our team’s fierce resolve to transform cancer management,» said Sam Salman, Co-Founder and Chairman & CEO at miR Scientific. «Our innovation is a revolutionary validatedi platform that provides a molecular measure of malignancy of the entire organ with unmatched accuracy, and since it is entirely based on a single non-invasive urine specimen, broad accessibility and complete ease of use can be achieved.»

The miR Sentinel™ Prostate Test solves a persistent global real-world problem involving the management of prostate cancer, a screened disease that represents the highest number of new cancer cases diagnosed annually and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men worldwide. The current standard of care (SOC) for screening prostate cancer fails to provide subjects and their providers with a definitive indication of the presence of disease and its severity.  As a result, significantly less than half of the age-eligible male population in the US, and even less globally, interact with screening, potentially missing an early detection opportunity that may have likely allowed for successful disease management. The SOC too-often identifies healthy patients as being suspicious of disease, requiring them to be subjected to highly invasive, morbidities-prone and costly core needle biopsies.  Significantly less than half-the men with a suspicion of disease are diagnosed with cancer. The SOC therefore suffers from high false positives, deadly false negatives and systematic health inequity across racial populations.

The miR Sentinel™ Prostate Test is an integrated platform that, from a single urine specimen, definitively classifies and monitors the risk of a subject into one of four groups: «No Molecular Evidence of Prostate Cancer» (NMEPC), or, for patients with molecular evidence of prostate cancer, Low Risk, Intermediate Risk, or High-Risk cancer.  Validation data for the miR Sentinel™  Prostate Test were published in the September issue of The Journal of Urology. These data show that miR Scientific’s platform can detect molecular evidence of prostate cancer with sensitivity of 94% and specificity of 92%, which translates to AUC of 0.98. When the cancer is diagnosed, the test further classifies the cancer as either low risk with sensitivity of 93% and specificity of 90%, which translates to AUC of 0.98, or critically, as high risk with sensitivity of 94% and specificity of 96%, which translates to AUC of 0.99.  The Company is preparing for the large-scale commercial launch of the miR Sentinel™ Prostate Test as a CLIA and CLEP Lab Developed Test.

The Fierce Innovation Awards highlight companies that demonstrate innovative solutions, technologies and services that have the potential to make the greatest impact for biotech and pharma industries. Winners’ and finalists’ applications were reviewed by an exclusive panel of executives from major biotech and pharma companies. All applications were evaluated based on effectiveness, technical innovation, competitive advantage, financial impact and true innovation. 

Winners were announced in the Fierce Innovation Report Healthcare Edition 2020 published by Fierce Healthcare in September 2020.  

About the miR Scientific Sentinel Prostate Assay
miR Scientific’s published paper in the Journal of Urology makes reference to three separately validated tests: the miR Sentinel™ PCa Test, which determines whether or not there is molecular evidence of prostate cancer; the miR Sentinel™ CS Test, which for those with a positive miR Sentinel™ PCa Test (or other confirmatory cancer diagnosis), determines whether the cancer is low risk versus intermediate or high risk, and the miR Sentinel™ HG Test, which for those with a positive miR Sentinel™ PCa Test (or other confirmatory cancer diagnosis), identifies patients with high-grade, high-risk cancer. Directly based on the validation of three tests in the referenced large Journal of Urology cohort, miR Scientific generated the miR Sentinel™ Prostate Test as a single test that integrates the four possible outcomes based on a single urine specimen. The extraordinary sensitivity and specificity of the Sentinel tests enable them to be used non-invasively to screen, diagnose, prognose and monitor patients with prostate cancer without any other adjunctive test or analytic input such as a specific PSA, DRE or other value. 

About miR Scientific
miR Scientific, LLC is a healthcare company whose purpose is to transform cancer management by providing early and highly accurate detection, characterization and monitoring of disease. Our team developed the miR Scientific Disease Management Platform™, which is comprised of proprietary, non-invasive and highly accurate liquid biopsy urine tests for the detection, classification and monitoring of urological cancers. miR Scientific is a majority-owned operating subsidiary of Impact NRS LLC, headquartered in New York with operating subsidiaries in Israel, Canada and Puerto Rico.

The new designs now feature longer booms and optimized structure that significantly improved safety, stability, reliability and overall performance. The review took place amid strong wind and the officers praised the boom stability.

«We hope our loyal customers can provide us with targeted and direct feedback. We seek to work with our partners who are constantly using our products and enhance the products from their perspective.» commented Sun Jianzhong, vice president of XCMG and General Manager of  XCMG Hoisting Machinery Business Division.

In 2020, XCMG is actively considering users’ feedback and becoming more customer-oriented when upgrading the classic hoisting machinery models, in line with exploring a more demand-driven business model as customers are becoming more professional.

Wang Min, chairman and CEO of XCMG, recently remarked at the 2020 China Chief Quality Official Conference on XCMG’s practice and results in terms of overall quality management, that «building leadership, quality culture, advanced quality management systems and continuous technology innovation are the pillars of our quality strategy.»

Para muchos jóvenes, la crisis ha tenido un impacto negativo en su salud psíquica y su bienestar, sus posibilidades de acceso a la educación y sus oportunidades de empleo», afirma Dave McKay, presidente y director ejecutivo de RBC. «Por eso, este año estamos adoptando un formato virtual para nuestra Race for the Kids de RBC para asegurar que podamos seguir enfrentando estas necesidades y apoyando a los jóvenes y sus familias ante estos desafíos. Quiero agradecer a nuestros 36 socios de caridad por su continua dedicación a la juventud en este año crítico y espero ansioso el fin de semana de la carrera».

Antes de 2020, los eventos de Race for the Kids de RBC se llevaron a cabo en 17 lugares: Bahamas, Barbados, Calgary, Chicago, Hong Kong, Jersey, Kuala Lumpur, Londres, Montreal, Nueva York, Ottawa, Seattle, St. Paul, Sídney, Toronto, Trinidad y Tobago, y Vancouver. Desde su creación en 2009, la serie ha atraído a más de 260.000 participantes y ha recaudado más de US$ 57 millones para causas juveniles e infantiles en todo el mundo.

Además de la celebración de este evento virtual, RBC ha entregado hasta la fecha US$ 10,5 millones para seguridad alimentaria, salud mental y preparación estratégica en respuesta a la pandemia de covid-19. En 2019, RBC donó US$ 130 millones a casi 5.000 organizaciones de caridad en todo el mundo.

TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, RBC opened registration for its first global and virtual charitable running event, as part of its signature Race for the Kids series. Fundraising from the event will benefit youth and children’s causes around the globe, with 36 charity partners that participants can elect to support. Facing the significant disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, the youth-focused services provided by these charity partners are needed now more than ever.

Instead of a standard running event format, participants will enjoy an innovative virtual experience through the event’s online registration and fundraising website:

  • Registering for the event is free and open to all, regardless of geography, age, or running ability.
  • Participants can elect to support any of the participating 36 charity partners, regardless of where they are physically located.
  • Participants will be able to select their personal race distance and route in their local community (with no pre-determined race course).
  • Participants are encouraged to complete their run or walk independently or with family members (while observing local public health advice and government guidelines) over the October 17-18 weekend.
  • The event website integrates with many running apps, allowing participants to record and map their virtual run or walk.
  • Runner bibs, event posters, and completion certificates will be available for download through the event website.
  • Participants will also receive digital medals and recognition which can be shared on social media.

RBC’s goal for the event is to create ‘the world’s largest virtual family fun run,’ with all RBC employees, their family/friends, charity partner supporters, and members of the public invited to take part.

«The global pandemic has disrupted several aspects of our lives. For many young people, the crisis has negatively impacted their mental health and well-being, access to education, and employment opportunities,» said Dave McKay, President and Chief Executive Officer, RBC. «That’s why we’re taking our RBC Race for the Kids to a virtual format this year – to ensure we can continue to address these needs, supporting young people and their families facing these challenges. I want to thank our 36 charity partners for their ongoing dedication to youth in this critical year and am looking forward to Race weekend.»

Prior to 2020, RBC Race for the Kids events took place in 17 physical locations, including: Bahamas, Barbados, Calgary, Chicago, Hong Kong, Jersey, Kuala Lumpur, London, Montreal, New York, Ottawa, Seattle, St. Paul, Sydney, Toronto, Trinidad & Tobago, and Vancouver. Since its inception in 2009, the series has attracted more than 260,000 participants and raised over $57 million for youth and children’s causes around the world.

In addition to hosting this virtual event, RBC has committed $10.5 million to date towards food security, mental health, and strategic preparedness in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, RBC donated $130 million to nearly 5,000 charitable organizations, globally.

Drive All Night single artwork

 

Gregory David Roberts es más conocido por Shantaram, la novela bestseller que ha vendido más de 6 millones de copias en todo el mundo y que ha sido considerada como una ‘obra maestra’.

Drive All Night te introduce en un viaje musical de amor, dolor de cabeza y deseo de escapar de la melancolía de un amor no correspondido. Producido por medio de GDR y Dale ‘Dizzle’ Virgo (Drake/ Florence + The Machine/ Kendrick Lamar/ Rihanna), la pista abre con una guitarra eléctrica sobre una base de bajo reggae, antes de que las dulces voces melódicas de Janeel Mills y Saine ‘Red’ Rapley sirvan de alivio para el alma y evoquen imágenes de una carretera sin tráfico al tiempo que conducen por la noche, cruzando otra línea de distrito. 

GDR comentó: «La música me ha salvado, me ha inspirado en medio del sufrimiento, para seguir adelante y nunca abandonar».

El disco de debut Love&Faith es una fusión ecléctica de géneros musicales, Pop/ R&B/ Country/ Reggae/ House, con contenido lírico inspirado por los seis años de aislamiento espiritual de GDR, con lanzamiento previsto para el 4 de diciembre de 2020.
