Hospital Association Launches Second Phase of Climate Resiliency Work

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In a second phase of work to help hospitals build climate resiliency for their communities, America’s Essential Hospitals will educate its members about how climate affects health and health equity and energize them to embrace resiliency and sustainability.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In a second phase of work to help hospitals build climate resiliency for their communities, America’s Essential Hospitals will educate its members about how climate affects health and health equity and energize them to embrace resiliency and sustainability.

The work, part of a Kresge Foundation–supported project, follows a 2019 climate resiliency report from Essential Hospitals Institute, the association’s research entity. That report, part of the project’s first phase, identified a lack of strategic leadership and funding as the main barriers to broader hospital adoption of climate resiliency programs.

In this new project phase, the Institute will convene essential hospital leaders at regional meetings to raise awareness of the relationship of climate change to health equity and essential hospitals’ mission of caring for underrepresented people and underserved communities. It also will develop a framework for an Action Learning Cohort, a network of essential hospitals that will share knowledge, ideas, and experience to put climate resiliency plans into action.

«Environmental factors and other social determinants of health weigh heaviest on the vulnerable people our hospitals serve, and climate change threatens to make matters worse,» said Bruce Siegel, MD, MPH, president and CEO of America’s Essential Hospitals. «This project will activate our members to confront and mitigate this threat.»

The U.S. health care system accounts for 8.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and health care emissions have risen 6 percent from 2010 to 2018. The health impacts of climate change are similar in scope to preventable medical errors and disproportionately affect low-income communities and communities of color. Climate change has sparked a national conversation about how to build climate resilience and sustainability in health care to enhance equity.

Some essential hospitals have taken noteworthy steps toward this goal, and the Institute project seeks to engage more hospitals in climate resiliency work.

«Essential hospitals have extensive experience making the lived environment better in communities that face the greatest environmental threats to good health,» said Kalpana Ramiah, DrPH, MSc, Institute director and the association’s vice president of innovation. «By engaging our members with this project, we will help them not only support patients but also make their communities at large more resilient to climate change.»

Cultural Comfort, Siloes And Stress Impacts Gen Z Trust Circles

FAIRFAX, Va., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — According to a study by the Culture Marketing Council: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing (CMC), despite a multicultural majority among the under-18 age segment, most non-Hispanic white (NHW) teens do not experience the MC majority reality in their daily lives—from their schools and neighborhoods to their friendships online and in real life. Regardless of race or background, teen stress levels are high, trust circles are tight and…

FAIRFAX, Va., Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — According to a study by the Culture Marketing Council: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing (CMC), despite a multicultural majority among the under-18 age segment, most non-Hispanic white (NHW) teens do not experience the MC majority reality in their daily lives—from their schools and neighborhoods to their friendships online and in real life. Regardless of race or background, teen stress levels are high, trust circles are tight and vary among kids and parents, depending on culture, age, and experience with organizations and institutions.

AHAA: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing is rebranding as Culture Marketing Council: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing, which will continue to elevate the quality and effectiveness of U.S. marketing by harnessing the power of cultural expertise and impact to drive business results.

«Trust circles, cultural comfort or discomfort, and stress are all nuances that marketers must understand, as they impact brand relationships and purchase decisions,» said CMC Research Chair Nancy Tellet, founder, brand & consumer navigator at PureClarity LLC. «Trust, plays a huge role not only in the political arena and friendships, but also where we live, how we raise our kids, and in the brands we choose to buy.»

Today, two-thirds of multicultural Gen Zers grow up in families that attempt to retain most of their historical cultural values. They also take cues from modern American society, choosing which values to keep, reject and add.

A Multicultural Majority in Numbers but Not in Daily Life

Racial and ethnic segments tend to self-silo across schools, neighborhoods and friendships, both on social media and in real life. This is mostly prevalent among NHW teens and tweens ages 8-17. While non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB) and Hispanics silo less, the majority of their in real life friends are either their own segment or other persons of color (POC). When it comes to social media, however, friends are slightly more diverse for NHW & NHB but virtually same for Hispanics.

The Majority of Gen Zers and Parents Are Comfortable with All Types of People

Sixty percent of Gen Zers and parents say, «I am truly comfortable with all people.» Among the 40 percent—a sizable minority—who are uncomfortable, all segments regardless of race or ethnicity report most discomfort with «rich people» and «evangelical Christians.» Blacks and Hispanics also say they are most uncomfortable among NHWs, NHWs and Blacks share a discomfort of LGBTQ+ people, and, surprisingly, Hispanics say they are most uncomfortable around «other Hispanics.» In addition, one in five (22 percent) NHWs are uncomfortable hearing Spanish spoken in public.

The Stress is Real for Gen Zers

Across all segments, teens report «being smart and well educated» as a core value for success; however, this ambition and often, fear of failure leaves them feeling stressed and isolated. Stress among Hispanic teens is higher than other groups. The shrinking middle class has added to teen stress for all groups especially NHW teens who feel they need to «protect» their turf. Black and Hispanic teens expressed more resilience with an attitude of «Life is tough, but I am tougher,» since life was never that easy to begin with. Hispanic teen stress actually decreased during COVID, as the negative spotlight shifted from them to the pandemic and other social and political issues.

The Cultural Closet: What’s Kept, What’s Tossed and What’s Being Added

More than two-thirds of POC want to keep most of their historical cultural values. Among Hispanics and NHB, family culture «keeps you safe, sane and happy.» For Hispanics, it’s about sharing knowledge and traditions while instilling a sense of interdependence (we vs me). For NHBs, family connections not only protect and support but also serve to share knowledge and pass down tradition. Hispanics and NHBs ages 13 to 49 keep values of resilience and the importance of their communities in their cultural closet, as it is important to succeed in spite of adversity.

Hispanic and Black teens place a high level of importance on the practice of «respect» including respect for their elders and stronger parental authority, including discipline within the parent/child relationship. Among NHBs, respect is straightforward, stressing the importance of respect for oneself and receiving it from others.  Among Hispanics, «respeto» is complex and more formal than what is typically expected in the U.S—with an emphasis on courtesy,  including helping above and beyond when you are a guest in someone’s house or how you behave with authority figures, such as your doctor or an elder.

More than half of Hispanic and NHB teens agree that traditional gender roles have to go. In addition, six out of 10 Hispanics ages 13 to 49 would like to get rid of socio-economic and racial colorism hierarchies.

Methodology  & Funders:

  • This study builds on more than 20,500 consumer touchpoints to date, the CMC released the third part of a comprehensive study on Gen Z (ages 13 to 17), IT’S TIME: Ready (or Not) for the Multicultural Majority, analyzing social media consumption, streaming video habits and the escalating power of culture in content.
  • The study received financial or operational support from Kantar, ThinkNow, ViacomCBS and Univision.
  • Quantitative research came from 2,418 13-17s (Gen Z) and 25-49 parents of kids 8-12 (65% Millennials/ 35% Xers) with equal sample representation of Hispanics (HISP), non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB) & non-Hispanic Whites (NHW) from January 2020 to February 2020.
  • Qualitative interviews with 54 respondents (36T/18P), in-home pairs (HISP/NHB/NHW) and two Gen Z multicultural workshops (HISP/NHB/NHW/Asian-American/Other)

About CMC: Founded in 1996 as the Association of Hispanic Advertising Agencies, the Culture Marketing Council: The Voice of Hispanic Marketing is the national trade organization of all marketing, communications, and media firms with trusted Hispanic expertise.

«In our landmark study, IT’S TIME: Ready (or Not) for the Multicultural Majority, we learned that Gen Z teens and parents feel a sense of unity with other minority segments and understands that hate and racism are the biggest issues they face together,» said CMC Research Chair Nancy Tellet, founder, brand & consumer navigator at PureClarity LLC. «With more than half of people ages 13 to 49 having quit a culturally illiterate brand, it’s all about what role culture plays in what stays in and what gets thrown out of trust circles.»

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Scenic Las Vegas Weddings, a local wedding destination and photography business, has named the Valley of Fire the most popular outdoor wedding destination for 2020.

Valley of Fire State Park is located just 50 miles from the Vegas Strip. It gets its name from the deep red sandstone formations that seem to materialize up from the ground. These unique rock formations, coupled with the striking desert scenery, combine to make Valley of Fire a truly amazing place to have a wedding.

«Couples come to Las Vegas looking to elope or get married all the time,» says Scenic Las Vegas Weddings owner Trey Tomsik. «Over the past six months, we’ve noticed a huge increase in demand for couples wanting to get married in the Valley of Fire. They’re looking for something different than the stereotypical Elvis on the strip wedding.»

«I think a contributing reason as to why Valley of Fire is so popular is due to people wanting to get married in epic locations,» continued Trey. «Valley of Fire offers an out-of-this-world landscape that has to be seen to be believed. Sunset is one of the most requested times of the day to conduct the wedding ceremony in Valley of Fire—as the rays of the evening sun light up the rocks as if the entire landscape was on fire.»

Vegas Wedding Photographer Offers All-Inclusive Adventure Wedding Experience and Amazing Photography for Couples Looking to Tie the Knot

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — When it comes time to get married, many couples are forgoing the large traditional ceremonies and opting to head off to Las Vegas for a more unique wedding experience as they exchange their vows in one of several scenic and iconic outdoor locations.

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — When it comes time to get married, many couples are forgoing the large traditional ceremonies and opting to head off to Las Vegas for a more unique wedding experience as they exchange their vows in one of several scenic and iconic outdoor locations.

However, a million things can and sometimes do go wrong. From rented dresses that don’t fit quite right to 3rd party transportation companies that can’t follow simple instructions, Las Vegas wedding photographer Trey Tomsik has seen it all.

This is why he created a custom bespoke wedding experience for local and visiting couples looking to tie the knot at such majestic outdoor locations as Valley of Fire or Nelson’s Ghost Town. Trey is the owner and operator of Scenic Las Weddings, a 20-year-old wedding planning and photography company located in Las Vegas.

He has compiled an all-star team of experts who work together in tandem to help ensure that even the smallest of details of the wedding are not overlooked. «We go above and beyond in our efforts to take out all the worrying from the equation,» said Trey. «Everything has to go smoothly so that when it’s time for the wedding ceremony and photography, couples can relax, enjoy amazing times, and get spectacular photography taken that they will cherish forever.»

«We try to be very transparent about everything couples can expect on their wedding day. We have no hidden fees—and couples get full rights to use every photo we shoot. We always strive to under-promise and over-deliver,» Trey continued. «For example, we have a 5-star florist on our team who works closely with couples to create the exact bouquet that brides want. They will then deliver it directly to the hotel right before the wedding.»

A stress-free wedding experience is only half of the equation of the perfect wedding. As a professional photographer and Las Vegas native, Trey knows how to work with the variable lighting and weather conditions in each of the scenic outdoor locations to create some of the most amazing and memorable photos.

«After decades of providing couples with the very best in outdoor weddings and photography, we have built internal processes to ensure that things run as smoothly as possible,» said Trey. «I work in close tandem with my team of professional wedding planners to provide our clients with memories that will last a lifetime and service each client to the highest standards possible.»

PEKÍN, 11 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — El año 2021 es el Año del Buey según el zodíaco chino. Dentro de la cultura china, el buey es la representación de los trabajadores en segundo plano, siendo inteligente y fiable. CGTN Digital va a transmitir la Spring Festival Gala completa este año por primera vez. Únase a nosotros y aprenda acerca de las resoluciones y aspiraciones del año nuevo y conozca todo lo que el pueblo chino tiene para el año nuevo.

La Spring Festival Gala, o «Chunwan» en chino, se emite en la víspera del Año Nuevo Lunar Chino, cuando millones de familias chinas se reúnen. La gala de este año se celebrará el 11 de febrero, y se llevará a cabo a pesar de la pandemia actual.

Realizada por primera vez en 1983 a través de la China Central Television (CCTV), el programa anual es el programa de televisión más visto a nivel mundial. Como parte de las celebraciones del Año Nuevo Chino, la extravagancia de una hora de duración ofrece canciones, actuaciones y comedia.

Este año, el tiempo de celebración de la Spring Festival Gala con sede en China y la Super Bowl con sede en Estados Unidos han sido muy cercanos. Al contar con una gran popularidad entre los pueblos de dos países respectivos, los dos eventos logran compartir en común sus numerosas similitudes y diferencias. Junto a los informadores de Pekín y Los Ángeles, CGTN cuenta con un vox pop en el que se muestra lo que piensan dos pueblos acerca de estos dos símbolos culturales de los dos países.

Pues vamos a verlo.

En la mitología china, el Spring Festival llega por medio de una historia de personas que golpean a un monstruo llamado Xi. El año 2020 vio como el mundo era golpeado por una pandemia inesperada. Las vacaciones y las reuniones se cancelaron cuando un virus monstruoso se empezó a propagar por las calles, causando miedo y pánico entre la población. CGTN presenta un juego para dispositivos móviles denominado «Fighting Monster Virus», con el que no solo se puede aprender sobre la cultura china y sobre el Spring Festival, sino que también puedes darte cuenta de la importancia de la unidad de la humanidad en lo que respecta a la lucha contra el coronavirus.

LONDON, Feb. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Following a successful KICKSTARTER campaign for the EATI | Anti Bacterial Titanium Utensil Multi-Tool. SEPTEM continues to focused on creating an ultra-light, incredibly durable camping necessity for backpackers, hikers, and all manner of outdoors people.

The SEPTEM titanium grill & hotplate is the lightest backpacking grills on the planet. It has been specifically designed to suit the needs of lightweight camping and bushcraft expeditions. It’s large enough to cook two steaks side-by-side but small enough to slide in your pack without taking up any valuable space. This is the perfect cooking unit for those looking to save on weight without compromising on quality. Every detail has been precisely engineered and constructed to ensure this grill will last you a lifetime.

Portable, Lightweight, And Convenient
Everyone loves a BBQ and other grilled foods when they’re camping. But cleaning, moving, and storing your grill is always a challenge. Often, a typical grill’s bulky size and general lack of storage space are obstacles for outdoor lovers.

Half Hotplate – Half Grill
Original design of SEPTEM Grill & Hotplate is to make the two versatile cooking methods on such a small grill plate. Two ways to cook the food you love, wherever you are.

Made from Titanium – Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Corrosion, Anti-rust
When titanium is exposed to air, an ultra-thin layer of titanium atoms interacts with the oxygen to create a nano-coating of titanium dioxide (Titania). Titania-based nano-composites subjected to light are remarkably effective in repelling microbial growth. In simple terms? This makes your food safer to eat, stay fresher, and taste better.

All Amazing Features

  • Lifetime Use
  • Easy to Clean
  • Ultra-lightweight
  • Fire Resistant
  • Anti-bacterial
  • Non-corrosive
  • Durable
