Alcohol Justice y agencias nacionales de salud pública piden acción federal

SAN RAFAEL, California, 22 de octubre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Alcohol Justice, junto a activistas de la salud pública y la protección al consumidor de todo el país, presentaron hoy una petición a la Oficina de Comercio e Impuestos al Alcohol y el Tabaco (TTB) del Departamento del Tesoro. En la petición se insta a la TTB a que informe al Congreso que se requiere una actualización de la advertencia sanitaria del gobierno en bebidas alcohólicas, que debería incluir una declaración de advertencia sobre el riesgo de cáncer, como por ejemplo:

ADVERTENCIA: Según el director general de Servicios de Salud Pública, el consumo de bebidas alcohólicas puede provocar cáncer, entre ellos, cáncer de mama y de colon. 

«Las corporaciones de bebidas alcohólicas son responsables de los efectos cancerígenos de sus productos, y el público debe saberlo», afirmó Bruce Lee Livingston, director ejecutivo/director general de Alcohol Justice. «Los productos alcohólicos deben requerir etiquetas de advertencia de riesgo de cáncer en todo el país». 

Al firmar la petición, Alcohol Justice se unió al Instituto Americano para la Investigación del Cáncer, la Federación de Consumidores de Estados Unidos, la Sociedad Americana de Oncología Clínica, la Asociación Americana de Salud Pública, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, el Centro de Ciencias de Interés Público y la Alianza de Políticas sobre el Alcohol de los Estados Unidos.

Una ley de 1988 exigía que todas las bebidas alcohólicas llevaran una declaración de advertencia sobre los riesgos relacionados con la conducción de vehículos motorizados y el consumo de alcohol durante el embarazo. El grupo de solicitantes insiste en que, dada la abrumadora evidencia de la relación del consumo de alcohol con el riesgo de desarrollar cáncer de mama, cavidad bucal, esófago, laringe, faringe, hígado y colon y recto, la TTB está obligada por la misma ley a informar al Congreso que este cambio en el etiquetado ahora resulta necesario.

«El cambio de etiquetado tiene al menos cuatro años de retraso», añadió Livingston. «¿Cuántas vidas más deben ponerse en peligro y sacrificarse en el altar de la codicia corporativa de la industria del alcohol? En 2016, un informe del director general de Servicios de Salud Pública documentó el vínculo entre el consumo de alcohol y el cáncer. Es hora de actuar, y tenemos la esperanza de que nuestra petición impulse a la TTB y al Congreso a proteger la salud y la seguridad de los consumidores mediante este sencillo cambio de etiqueta».

Linear Labs Founders Win Entrepreneur Of The Year Award By Ernst & Young

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Linear Labs co-founders Brad and Fred Hunstable have been named by Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2020 Southwest Award winners. The Entrepreneur of the Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Linear Labs co-founders Brad and Fred Hunstable have been named by Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2020 Southwest Award winners. The Entrepreneur of the Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies.

The award is given to recognize entrepreneurial leaders who are excelling in overcoming adversity, financial performance, societal impact and commitment to building a values-based company through innovation and talent management. An independent judging panel comprised of previous award winners, leading CEOs, private equity and venture capital investors, as well as other regional business luminaries, chose the Hunstable team as winners for the Southwest region.

«My father Fred and I started Linear Labs with the goal of bringing electricity and clean water to underdeveloped nations, so societal impact through innovation is part of the foundation of Linear Labs,» said Brad Hunstable, Chief Executive Office and co-founder of Linear Labs. «It’s humbling to be receiving this honor from EY as we enter the next phase of our electric motor production plan, ushering in Energy 2.0 to create a more sustainable future. Even more fitting is to be recognized for the Southwest region, where we believe the future of energy is taking hold to have a global impact.»

Linear Labs’ motors, which are 100 percent designed and assembled in the U.S.A., use groundbreaking HET technology to produce up to twice the torque of competitor motors — or the same torque in half the size. The patented HET architecture is an entirely new class of electric machine that can be made using rare-earth or ferrite magnets. The design is based upon a breakthrough magnetic flux tunnel featuring both dual axial flux and dual radial flux rotors tied together around one stator, effectively creating four motors working as one.

Fred Hunstable, Chief Technology Officer as well as co-founder of Linear Labs, is a prolific innovator and the first to design, build and test an entirely new methodology in electric motors and generators in nearly 120 years with the HET. His deep expertise in electrical engineering and nuclear power helped him lead Walker Engineering’s efforts in designing, upgrading and completing electrical infrastructure, environmental and enterprise projects as well as safety and commercial grade evaluation programs.

Brad Hunstable previously founded and served as CEO of Ustream, a pioneering live-video streaming service. He is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and holds an MBA from The Ohio State University. He was honored as an influential young leader in San Francisco Business Times’ «40 Under 40,» was ranked among 50 «Digital Power Players» by the Hollywood Reporter, as well as was honored as Variety’s Producers Guild of America’s Digital 25: Visionaries, Innovators and Producers. In 2017, he also received The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business Entrepreneur and Innovation Alumni Award and was recently named 2020 Top Private Company CEO of the Year by Fort Worth Business Press.

As a Southwest award winner, Brad and Fred Hunstable are now eligible for consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2020 National Awards. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced Thursday, November 19, during a virtual awards gala.

Texas home sales soar, housing inventory declines in 2020’s third quarter

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The number of Texas homes sold from July to September 2020 increased nearly 19% compared to the same time frame last year, according to the 2020-Q3 Texas Quarterly Housing Report released today by Texas Realtors.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The number of Texas homes sold from July to September 2020 increased nearly 19% compared to the same time frame last year, according to the 2020-Q3 Texas Quarterly Housing Report released today by Texas Realtors.

Texas Association of Realtors logo.

«The Texas real estate market’s resiliency, especially in the middle of a pandemic crisis, is nothing short of incredible, though our housing supply is still critically low,» said Cindi Bulla, chairman of Texas Realtors. «We are hard at work looking for the supply solutions necessary to keep our market healthy and make the American dream of homeownership attainable to every Texan.»

Home sales increased 18.4%, with 119,642 homes sold in the third quarter of 2020. Statewide, the median price increased 8.6% to $266,000. Of all the homes sold within the third quarter, 34.1% were priced from $200,000 to $299,999, the highest share of sales among all price-class distributions.

Jim Gaines, Ph.D., chief economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, commented, «The Texas housing market experienced a strong push-through of demand from the second quarter into the third quarter. Active listings saw a sharp drop with many sellers hesitating to list their property in the middle of a pandemic. However, as the economy and employment numbers continue to recover, we anticipate end-of-year sales figures will be higher than 2019.»

Active listings declined 32.4% in Q3 to 71,569 listings. Texas homes spent an average of 52 days on the market, two days more than the third quarter of 2019.

Housing inventory in Texas declined 1.3 months to 2.3 months of inventory. According to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, a market balanced between supply and demand has between 6.0 and 6.5 months of inventory.

Bulla concluded, «Although our real estate market remains strong, the data in this report shows there are still long-term implications regarding this housing shortage that need answers, and finding those solutions will remain a major focus for Texas Realtors at the state and local level for 2020 and beyond.»

The makers of the world’s No. 1 vodka, Smirnoff No. 21, are expanding their iconic Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind flavor to more than 15 new markets in the United States.  Fitted in a new colorful, Día De Muertos-inspired glow-in-the-dark under blacklight design and boasting an authentic combination of sweet tamarind flavor with notes of spicy Mexican chilies and lime, Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind delivers a delicious balance of sweet and tangy taste that is best enjoyed as a chilled shot for any at-home celebration, or as a sweet and spicy addition to any simple cocktail.

Proudly Sweet, Shamelessly Spicy! Smirnoff Is Delivering A Shot Of Authentic Flavor And Expanding Its Spicy Tamarind Offering To More Markets Across The U.S.

Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind marks the latest expansion in the extensive portfolio of Smirnoff US flavor and seasonal offerings, giving those 21+ another option to raise a glass (or shot) and cheers with family and friends for any festive occasion. Featuring a Calavera (skull) at the center surrounded by cempasúchiles (marigolds), tamarind and chiles, the new packaging gives a nod to the vibrancy of Mexican culture, combining traditional and modern themes, and making it a decorative addition. The bottle also packs a fun and functional surprise, displaying «Solo Y Frío» under blacklight when chilled, so you know when it is ready to drink.

«With the expansion of Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind in the US, we’re inviting more consumers who are looking for a sweet & spicy treat, to enjoy Spicy Tamarind with their loved ones during a festive time of year,» said Gustavo Salguero, Brand Manager, Smirnoff. «While Spicy Tamarind is now becoming an iconic flavor in Mexico, we’re also seeing an increasing trade and consumer interest for this sweet & spicy spirit in the US, as it is an authentic flavor those 21+ can easily enjoy at-home.»

In addition to the Smirnoff website, consumers can also find the pairings on @SmirnoffUS or @ChicanoEats Instagram channels along with step-by-step video tutorials of Esteban demonstrating how consumers can replicate these recipes at-home.

«What I really enjoy about Smirnoff Spicy Tamarind is that the sweet and spicy flavor profiles of the spirit offer a lot of versatility to pair it with a variety of sweet and savory dishes, whether served as simple shot or in a cocktail,» said Esteban Castillo. «I had a lot of fun reimagining some of my favorite Mexican dishes for this food guide and experimenting with how to marry the flavor of each dish to really bring out that Tamarind base of the spirit. It’s awesome that Smirnoff is expanding this flavor so that more people can experience it, responsibly.»

To further support the expansion of Spicy Tamarind to the United States and the new glow-in-the-dark packaging, Smirnoff is celebrating the sweet and spicy duality of the flavored spirit and raising a (shot) glass to celebrating with family and friends with several new digital ad spots as part of the «Proudly Sweet, Shameless Spicy» campaign.

MOSCOW, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Sheremetyevo International Airport served 15,606,000 people from January through September of 2020. There were 145,368 take-off and landing operations in the same nine-month period.

The greatest demand was for flights to destinations such as Antalya, Istanbul and London.

AMA report examines existing Latinx inequity driving disproportionate COVID-19 impact

CHICAGO, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, the American Medical Association (AMA) released a new report emphasizing the starkly disproportionate Latinx COVID-19 cases and fatalities — further underscoring concerns that a lack of consistent data…

CHICAGO, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month, the American Medical Association (AMA) released a new report emphasizing the starkly disproportionate Latinx COVID-19 cases and fatalities — further underscoring concerns that a lack of consistent data reporting underestimates the pandemic’s magnitude on the Latinx community and illustrating how the pandemic has deepened pre-existing inequities.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/8689451-ama-report-examines-disproportionate-covid-19-impact-on-latinx-community/

The report, titled ‘Latinx COVID-19 health inequities: Insights for the health care field,’ serves as a compilation of existing data highlighting that COVID-19 cases affect Latinx individuals at nearly double the overall national rate — and calling attention to data showing that Latinx individuals are overrepresented in some state mortality rates. The report features these key statistics from public health reports:

  • Latinx individuals make up 18% of the U.S. population; yet represent 33% of new COVID-19 cases.
  • Latinx individuals make up roughly 19% of New York’s population; yet account for 34% of COVID-19 fatalities.

Despite these figures, and the fact that Latinx make up the largest ethnic group in the nation, the report points out that the effects of COVID-19 on this population have not been widely addressed and are largely invisible in mainstream discourse. In addition, researchers cite a lack of consistent race and ethnicity data state reporting as a barrier to capturing the real impact of the pandemic on the Latinx community. As the report notes, these elements combined leave the Latinx population inconsequential in pandemic recovery and prevention planning.

«Though COVID-19 did not create the circumstances that have led to deep-seated inequities in the Hispanic community, this report clearly highlights how the pandemic continues to exacerbate them,» said AMA President Susan R. Bailey, M.D. «The AMA remains committed to ensuring that vulnerable patients do not suffer disproportionately and to removing obstacles that stand in the way of culturally competent care for Hispanic patients.»

The report also identifies the existing drivers behind the Latinx community’s vulnerability to the pandemic. Existing structural drivers — like anti-immigration and restrictive health insurance policies — coupled with social determinants — like a lack of multilingual public health resources and limited access to digital health technologies — are major contributors to the COVID-19 health inequities experienced by the Latinx community.

«The COVID-19 pandemic has already more publicly exposed the persistent fundamental health inequities faced by Black and Brown communities, but this report uncovers just how dire the situation is in the Latinx community,» said AMA Chief Health Equity Officer and Group Vice President Aletha Maybank, M.D., M.P.H. «In this critical moment, it is imperative that we confront inequities and dismantle racism in all its forms, so that marginalized and minoritized communities like the Latinx population no longer have to bear the brunt of this public health crisis.»

Recommendations for identifying and understanding public health opportunities to serve and engage the Latinx community are presented in the report, with suggestions ranging from the creation of equitable outreach materials to the leveraging of trusted communications outlets.

Eliminating health inequities by mitigating disparity factors is a priority of the AMA’s Center for Health Equity, which works to achieve optimal health for all by providing ongoing resources, research, and education about critical health and social issues impacting minoritized and marginalized communities. Throughout Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond, the AMA has highlighted the explicit invisibility of the Latinx community in the larger context of the U.S. by discussing how COVID-19 is negatively impacting and widening the existing inequities already experienced by the Latinx community.

The AMA continues to work on every front to support health equity. Through research, collaborations, advocacy, and leadership. The AMA’s policy on health equity recognizes that institutional racism and bias have contributed to inequities across the U.S. health care system for historically marginalized and minoritized communities, and aims to attain optimal health for all people.

Editor’s Note: The AMA continues to compile critical COVID-19 health equity resources to shine a light on the structural issues that contribute to and could exacerbate already existing inequities. Physicians and health care professionals can also access the AMA’s COVID-19 FAQs about health equity in a pandemic.

About the American Medical Association 
The American Medical Association is the physicians’ powerful ally in patient care. As the only medical association that convenes 190+ state and specialty medical societies and other critical stakeholders, the AMA represents physicians with a unified voice to all key players in health care. The AMA leverages its strength by removing the obstacles that interfere with patient care, leading the charge to prevent chronic disease and confront public health crises, and, driving the future of medicine to tackle the biggest challenges in health care.
