Galardonado podcast educativo, Brains On, se lanza en español para atender la brecha en educación STEM de los niños latinos en los EE.UU.

NUEVA YORK, 24 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La recién creada Mother Tongue anunció hoy que es el socio exclusivo de producción en español del programa de podcast, Brains On, de American Public Media’s (APM). Distribuido ampliamente a través de la enorme red de podcasts de reVolver, Brains On en Español ayudará a atender las severas brechas tan evidentes en la educación de los niños latinos en los EE.UU. en ciencias, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas (STEM, por sus siglas en inglés). Las habilidades STEM son más necesarias ahora que nunca para competir en una economía global y las actuales plataformas de entretenimiento educativo le están fallando a miles de niños latinos en los EE.UU. Con Mother Tongue, APM amplía su galardonado contenido de podcasts para llegar al creciente auditorio latino en los EE.UU., incluyendo la coordinación de programación multilingüe en un futuro.

Los cofundadores de Mother Tongue y veteranos de la industria del marketing hispano/latinx, Lupe De Los Santos y Stephen Hobbs, tienen en conjunto más de 40 años de experiencia en la industria de la difusión y el entretenimiento. Antes de Mother Tongue, Hobbs trabajaba como vicepresidente de Podcasts y Vivencial para Univision Communications y es cofundador de reVolver Podcasts.

«Nuestro objetivo a través de Mother Tongue es ampliar las posibilidades para el crecimiento y aprendizaje de los niños y las familias multilingües, empezando por el español,» dijo Hobbs. «Los estudiantes latinos actualmente representan el grupo minoritario más grande en el sistema de educación pública, pero sus calificaciones se ubican por debajo del promedio nacional en exámenes de rendimiento en matemáticas y ciencias. La amplia cartera de programación de podcasts de APM ofrecerá un muy necesario apoyo a estos públicos y cerrará estas brechas.»

«Estoy convencida del poder del uso de las plataformas de entretenimiento, como los podcasts, para educar a diversos auditorios,» agregó De Los Santos. «Nuestra experiencia combinada en difusión y marketing digital, así como en esfuerzos de entretenimiento y estilo de vida, sin duda asegurarán que este contenido sea más accesible y ofrezca mayor disfrute a las familias hispanas/latinx en los EE.UU.»

Brains On presenta a Molly Bloom, cocreadora y anfitriona de Brains On y su esperanza es que, a través de Brains On en Español, «Los niños y sus familias se sientan motivados a explorar su curiosidad natural y su asombro al oír que se responden las preguntas del auditorio a través de un lente enfocado en la ciencia. Con el lanzamiento de Brains On en Español, nos emociona aún más que los niños puedan ampliar las habilidades que necesitan para navegar a través de nuestro cambiante mundo como pensadores de mente abierta y crítica».

«Estamos encantados de asociarnos con Mother Tongue para traer programación en audio entretenida y basada en evidencias a los niños y familias hispanohablantes en los EE.UU. y en todo el mundo en una época en que los hechos se han vuelto más importantes que nunca», agregó Alex Schaffert, Directora de Operaciones de On-Demand Audio, American Public Media.

Dado que los latinos representan el grupo minoritario más grande en los EE.UU., Mother Tongue, APM y reVolver aprovecharon esta oportunidad como una forma de revolucionar el panorama de los podcasts y crear una vía a través de la que los niños y adultos por igual puedan escuchar sus podcasts preferidos en inglés y español. Como el número de niños bilingües aumenta cada año, Mother Tongue espera hacer avanzar y diversificar la industria y motivar a los niños a crecer y aprender.

Los oyentes podrán escuchar el nuevo podcast Brains On en Español a través de Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart y Radio Public. Para descubrir más, visita https://www.brainson.org/page/es.

Distributed broadly through reVolver’s vast podcast network, Brains On en Español will help address the severe gaps evident in US Latino children’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. STEM skills are more necessary now than ever to compete in a global economy, and the current educational entertainment platforms are failing throngs of U.S. Latino children. With Mother Tongue, APM expands its award-winning podcast content to the growing U.S. Latino audience, including the coordination of future multilingual programming.

Mother Tongue Co-founders and Hispanic/Latinx marketing industry veterans, Lupe De Los Santos and Stephen Hobbs, bring a combined 40+ years of experience in the broadcast and entertainment industries.

«Our objective with Mother Tongue is to expand the possibilities for growth and learning among multilingual children and families, starting with Spanish,» said Hobbs. «Latino students currently comprise the largest minority group in the public school system, yet score lower than national averages on math and science achievement tests. APM’s broad portfolio of podcast programming will provide much-need support to these audiences and bridge these gaps.»

«I am a firm believer in the power of entertainment platforms, such as podcasts, being used to educate diverse audiences,» added De Los Santos. «Our combined experience in broadcast and digital marketing, as well as entertainment and lifestyle efforts, will no doubt ensure that this content is more easily accessed and enjoyed by Hispanic/Latinx families across the U.S.»

Brains On features Molly Bloom, co-creator and host of Brains On, and her hope is that with Brains On en Español, «Kids and families will be encouraged to explore their natural curiosity and wonder by hearing audience questions answered through a science-focused lens. With the launch of Brains On en Español, we’re excited for even more kids to nurture the skills they need to navigate our changing world as open-minded, critical thinkers.»

«We’re thrilled to partner with Mother Tongue on bringing entertaining and evidence-based audio programming to Spanish-speaking kids and families in the U.S. and around the world during a time when facts have never mattered more,» added Alex Schaffert, COO of On-Demand Audio, American Public Media.

With Latinos representing the largest minority group in the U.S., Mother Tongue, APM & reVolver took this opportunity as a way to revolutionize the podcast landscape and create an avenue where children and adults alike could listen to their favorite podcasts in English and Spanish. With the number of bilingual children increasing each year, Mother Tongue hopes to advance and diversify the industry and encourage kids to grow and learn.

Upwing Energy Achieves Carbon Neutral Certification

CERRITOS, Calif., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Upwing Energy, an artificial lift technology company serving the oil and gas industry, announced today that it has been independently certified as a carbon neutral company under the PAS 2060 Carbon Neutrality standard.

The company’s certification will benefit exploration and production companies by adding a carbon neutral company to their supply chain, in addition to reducing their own carbon footprint with Upwing’s advanced subsurface…

Upwing Energy’s carbon neutral certification was awarded by SCS Global Services, an internationally recognized third-party certification body, which performed a full assessment of the company’s greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the PAS 2060 standard.

«Upwing Energy is an innovative leader in its industry, becoming the first oil and gas equipment manufacturing company certified by SCS to achieve carbon neutrality based on the PAS 2060 standard,» said SCS’ David Jonas, Program Manager for Climate Consulting Services. «It has set an important precedent for oil and gas equipment manufacturing companies to demonstrate greenhouse gas emissions reductions. We applaud Upwing Energy’s commitment to carbon neutrality.»

In addition to its own emission reductions, Upwing Energy is committed to helping the oil and gas industry meet its environmental and production goals. Exploration and production companies can reduce their own carbon emissions by replacing existing topside wellhead compressors with a much cleaner and effective subsurface compressor system, which increases gas production from existing wells by 150 percent or more as compared to wellhead compressors.

«This is a clear win for our industry and a great example of how a technology can simultaneously help companies achieve their economic goal of increasing gas production and their environmental goal of reducing carbon emissions,» said Herman Artinian, President and CEO of Upwing Energy.

«I am extremely proud that we are the first among our peers to have been certified for carbon neutrality,» said Artinian. «We are committed to maintaining our certification and will continue to push the envelope to find and implement innovative solutions that will reduce the environmental impact while simultaneously increasing the productivity of our industry.»

Upwing Energy achieved carbon neutrality by measuring its scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon footprint, purchasing and retiring carbon offsets to neutralize its footprint, and implementing plans to reduce emissions within the company. These emission reduction activities include an environmental employee education program, an electric vehicle charging initiative, a recycling program and an advanced planning initiative for sustainable business travel, local shipment of goods, and limited mobile and stationary machine usage.

About Upwing Energy

Upwing Energy, Inc. («Upwing»), headquartered in Cerritos, Calif., provides the most reliable, available and retrievable artificial lift technology that increases the production and recovery of hydrocarbons from conventional and unconventional wells.

Power Knot Receives Additional Food Waste Digester Orders for University of Nebraska Lincoln

FREMONT, Calif., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Power Knot LLC, the market leader for on site organic waste management solutions announced today that it has received additional orders for LFC® biodigesters to the University of Nebraska Lincoln (UNL).

Previously, the disposal of food waste at UNL followed a complex path in which the waste was hauled away by custodial staff, loaded onto a truck, and dumped in a landfill where it would produce greenhouse gases….

The University took a major step toward sustainability when its Dining Services installed their first biodigester in November 2019 within the Selleck Dining Center. Impressed by the operation of the LFC biodigester, UNL installed a second one at the Cather Dining Center in June 2020. Combined, the food digesters have diverted over 44,000 kg (98,000 lb) of food waste from landfills and reduced UNL’s carbon footprint by 185 tonne of CO2e since installation.

«For our sustainability goals, it just makes sense. We don’t have the ability to have a big compost pile anywhere close, and composting involves a lot of labor, so this seems to be the next best thing,» said Dave Annis, director of University Dining Services. «The LFC biodigester very clearly fits the need for a campus our size. It greatly cuts the waste, is easy to maintain and train people on, and the digital metrics are very helpful. Once set up and maintained they run themselves. The labor involved is so much less than compost. When I do presentation and digester tours I can share the data since it’s all on the cloud.»

UNL has this month ordered two further LFC biodigesters for other dining halls. The University plans to obtain an LFC biodigester for each dining facility before expanding to residence halls and other areas.

About the LFC Biodigester
The LFC® biodigester is a machine that digests waste food. These machines are usually installed in a commercial kitchen and reduces the expense, inconvenience, mess, and carbon footprint of disposing of waste food that would otherwise be hauled to a landfill. Power Knot has eight different sizes that digest from 20 lb (10 kg) per day to 4000 lb (1800 kg) per day of waste food. With many hundreds of installations globally, the LFC Biodigester has proven to be reliable, safe, and cost effective.

About Power Knot
Power Knot provides safe and economically sound solutions for commercial, industrial, and military customers globally seeking to reduce their carbon footprint. Our technologies are proven, available today, have been in reliable use for many years, and offer a payback period typically of less than two years. We design, develop, and manufacture our products in our headquarters in Silicon Valley, California. For more information, access http://www.powerknot.com.

8 Year Stock Market-Beating Strategy Given Away for Free by Liberated Stock Trader

MUNICH, Germany, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The LST Beat the Market strategy has outperformed the S&P 500 index by 102%, with a total return of 408% since 2013.

<img src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1442956/lst_btm_total_return_2020.jpg"…

MUNICH, Germany, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The LST Beat the Market strategy has outperformed the S&P 500 index by 102%, with a total return of 408% since 2013.

Outperforming the S&P 500 benchmark is the goal of active fund managers, but 78% failed to achieve it over the last five years.*

«I have been inspired by the work of Joel Greenblatt and William J. O’Neil. But these strategies need something extra,» said Barry D. Moore, Founder of LiberatedStockTrader.com. «Screening for companies with increasing Cash Flow and Earnings Growth is a well-established best practice. Combined with Earnings Yield and Return on Capital, you have a foundation of financially stable growth stocks.»

«The strategy adds a new twist by selecting companies that have beaten the S&P 500 in the trailing 12 months.»

The goal was to create a simple strategy to make yearly profits that exceed the S&P 500’s returns.

The LST Beat the Market strategy has successfully outperformed the S&P 500 in 7 of the last 8 years: providing a total return of 408% versus the S&P 500’s 152%.

The strategy is suitable for individual investors because it selects only 15 to 40 stocks per year.

If the system is so successful, why share it with others?

The strategy could be used to establish a fund, but I would rather simply partner with Stock Rover, a leading stock screening software company. I chose Stock Rover because they have the only stock screening software that can handle the calculations and backtesting required to prove the strategy.

How Can You Try the LST Beat the Market Strategy?

Liberated Stock Trader has partnered exclusively with Stock Rover, a company with $6 billion in client assets managed, to provide the LST Beat the Market strategy for free to their clients.

The system’s criteria and audited historical results are available here: https://www.liberatedstocktrader.com/lst-beat-the-market-screener/

SEG’s statement emphasizes the essential roles geophysicists play in carbon sequestration, monitoring of large ice masses, exploration for minerals used in wind and solar energy systems, geothermal energy exploration, and water-resources management in the position statement posted on its website and forthcoming in the March issue of The Leading Edge.

«Preservation of our planet and contribution to society are among SEG strategic pillars of our geophysical community’s engagement with the world,» said SEG President Maurice Nessim. «We bring a unique perspective to the conversation. Our relevance and leadership are elevated as we amplify our focus on critical energy and environmental challenges.»

SEG has joined nearly 200 other scientific societies worldwide and the U.S. National Academies of Science in affirming the position of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that has concluded that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are extremely likely to be the dominant cause of observed climate warming since 1950.

SEG’s position, replacing a briefer and less-specific statement issued in 2017, is supported by citations to seminal works as well as recent studies in climate science. The statement affirms the Society’s support for members engaged in geophysical research, publication, and open dialog on climate change and its impacts.

The statement was developed by a Climate Change Task Force led by John Bradford, an SEG past president, along with David Lumley and Maria Angela Capello, current SEG Board of Directors members. Bradford is Vice President for Global Initiatives and Professor of Geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines. Lumley is a Professor, Cecil and Ida Green Endowed Chair in Geophysics, and Director of the Seismic Imaging and Inversion Lab at the University of Texas at Dallas. Cav. Capello is a distinguished geophysicist with extensive industry and professional-society experience and is the lead author of the «Geophysical Sustainability Atlas: Mapping geophysics to the UN Sustainable Development Goals,» which appeared in the January 2021 issue of SEG’s publication The Leading Edge.

The SEG Board adopted the position statement in a unanimous vote during its January 2021 meeting.

The statement is available on SEG’s website at https://seg.org/About-SEG/Climate-Change
