RIVERSIDE, California, 11 de junio de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Sandy Piña, empresaria, activista y filántropa, gana por segunda vez las elecciones para delegada del Distrito Congresual 42 de California por el vicepresidente Joe Biden. Sandy es filántropa y una activista comunitaria muy comprometida desde hace 40 años. Como empresaria latina de origen humilde, Piña defiende y aboga por una variedad de causas para las mujeres, los niños y la comunidad latina. Abriendo el camino para las mujeres profesionales, en 1987 Piña se convirtió en la primera mujer miembro del Kiwanis Club y eventual presidenta del East LA Kiwanis Club. 

Sandy Piña, delegada del Distrito Congresional 42

Como mujer latina, Piña está profundamente comprometida con el avance y los logros económicos de los necesitados. Piña ha sido testigo de primera mano de las injusticias políticas y económicas que un sistema de inmigración defectuoso ha causado sobre la comunidad latina. Ella cree que aunque la Ley de Protección al Paciente y Cuidado de Salud Asequible necesita algunas reformas es una ley importante, en última instancia, ya que brinda la atención médica tan necesaria para muchas familias que no tendrían acceso a ella de otra manera. Piña también ha tomado la iniciativa de ser una defensora de incrementar la ayuda y la asistencia a los pobres. Ella entiende que todos los estadounidenses merecen igualdad de derechos y que los derechos civiles deben estar garantizados para todos. Piña cree que las familias destrozadas por políticas de inmigración fallidas representan más daño que ayuda a nuestra economía y que es vital trabajar en la ampliación de oportunidades para los estadounidenses con el fin de reconstruir nuestra inestable economía.

  • Michael Bloomberg, candidato presidencial
  • Dolores Huerta, líder estadounidense en temas laborales
  • Danny Trejo, actor estadounidense

  • Familiares y amigos Agradecimiento especial Veronica Duran

Piña considera que las mujeres y los latinos deben alzar la voz y manifestarse sobre los temas importantes que les interesan. La única manera de elevar las prioridades y las preocupaciones de nuestras comunidades a los lugares más destacados de la agenda nacional es haciendo escuchar nuestras voces.

2U, Inc. Announces $3 Million Scholarship Fund to Expand Access to Tech Boot Camps at 30 Top Universities Nationwide

LANHAM, Md., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — 2U, Inc., (Nasdaq: TWOU), a global leader in education technology, in partnership with more than 30 top non-profit universities nationwide, today announced the launch of a $3M Scholarship Fund designed to expand access to critical tech training boot camps for historically underrepresented candidates experiencing job loss or financial hardship. 

Scholarships of $2,500

LANHAM, Md., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — 2U, Inc., (Nasdaq: TWOU), a global leader in education technology, in partnership with more than 30 top non-profit universities nationwide, today announced the launch of a $3M Scholarship Fund designed to expand access to critical tech training boot camps for historically underrepresented candidates experiencing job loss or financial hardship. 

Scholarships of $2,500 each will be available to Black, Latino, and Indigenous learners, as well as women, demonstrating both need and merit. These scholarships, made possible through the commitment of 2U’s partner network, can be applied to over 100 online tech boot camps, spanning fields including coding, data analytics, cybersecurity, fintech, digital marketing, and UX/UI. Participating programs include boot camps offered by Columbia Engineering, The George Washington University, Penn LPS, Rice GSCS, UNC-Chapel Hill Friday Center, UC Berkeley Extension, UCI Division of Continuing Education, UCLA Extension, Vanderbilt Engineering, and many more. 

«As the economic impact of the pandemic continues to unfold, millions of people have seen their livelihoods disappear overnight, with people of color and women disproportionately affected. Many of these jobs—especially in sectors already at risk of automation—aren’t coming back,» 2U Co-Founder and CEO Christopher «Chip» Paucek said. «This scholarship fund removes barriers for workers who are traditionally underrepresented in the tech industry by increasing the affordability of top university boot camps across 2U’s network. Our partners have always made supporting diverse learners central to their boot camps, and these scholarships will put life-changing tech training within even closer reach at a time when people need it most.»

In addition to the Scholarship Fund, 2U has begun rolling out a 24-month, no-interest payment plan option for students enrolling in select boot camps across its university partner network. The payment plan further increases the affordability of tech training programs at an urgent moment for workers across the nation. 

More than 40 million Americans have filed for unemployment since states across the U.S. shut down to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, with 95% of workers in low-income households experiencing job loss or a loss of income (Gallup). Over a third of Americans say they will need training or education to find new jobs (Strada Education Network). Tech jobs have been some of the most resilient roles in the current economic downturn, with many industries now accelerating their digital transformation, automation, and e-commerce efforts. Boot camps are seeing record levels of interest as workers look to both reskill and upskill to increase their employment opportunities. 

2U acquired boot camp leader Trilogy Education in 2019. As universities closed their campuses to protect the health of students, 2U quickly helped its partners transition their boot camp programs online and trained all instructors in online teaching best practices. Career-related program elements such as tech talks by industry professionals, project demo events, and recruitment sessions by employers like Microsoft and Deloitte were reimagined in engaging online formats. 

Trilogy-powered boot camps educate working adults across a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels and are available in a 12-week full-time format and part-time 18-week or 24-week formats. More than 25,000 diverse learners have graduated from these programs and thousands of organizations employ them, including 50% of Fortune 100 companies.

For more information and to apply for a scholarship with a participating university, visit trilogyed.com/students.

Participating institutions include: Arizona State University’s Continuing and Professional Education, Butler University Executive Education, Case Western Reserve University, Columbia Engineering, Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering, Michigan State University College of Engineering, Rice University’s Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies, Rutgers University Division of Continuing Studies, Southern Methodist University Professional and Online (SMU PRO), The George Washington University, UC Berkeley Extension, UCI Division of Continuing Education, UCLA Extension, UC San Diego Extension, UCF Division of Continuing Education, UNC-Chapel Hill William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education, UNC Charlotte Continuing Education, University of Arizona’s Continuing and Professional Education,  University of Connecticut School of Engineering, University College at the University of Denver, University of Kansas Professional and Continuing Education, University of Miami Division of Continuing and International Education, University of Minnesota College of Continuing and Professional Studies, University of New Hampshire Professional Development & Training, University of Oregon Continuing and Professional Education, University of Pennsylvania College of Liberal and Professional Studies, University of Richmond School of Professional and Continuing Studies, University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering, University of Texas at San Antonio School of Data Science and College of Business, University of Utah Professional Education, University of Wisconsin Extended Campus, Vanderbilt University School of Engineering and Owen School of Management, and more.

U.S. Postal Service Releases Dog Attack National Rankings

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The number of U.S. Postal Service (USPS) employees attacked by dogs nationwide fell to 5,803 in 2019 — more than 200 fewer than in 2018 and more than 400 fewer since 2017.

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The number of U.S. Postal Service (USPS) employees attacked by dogs nationwide fell to 5,803 in 2019 — more than 200 fewer than in 2018 and more than 400 fewer since 2017. Today, USPS highlights technology that helps reduce potential attacks, while releasing its annual list of cities with the most recorded dog attacks. The organization also highlights safety initiatives to help protect its employees and offers tips to pet owners as part of the Postal Service’s National Dog Bite Awareness Week, which runs Sunday, June 14, through Saturday, June 20.

«Even during these difficult times, it’s important for our customers to understand that letter carriers are still coming to homes daily and need to deliver mail safely,» said USPS Safety Awareness Program Manager Chris Johnson. «We are confident we can keep moving the trends of attacks downward, and ramping up overall awareness for everyone is the best way to do that.»

Tips and Technology

According to Johnson, technology supports carrier safety in two ways: Mobile Delivery Devices, handheld scanners used by carriers to confirm customer delivery, include a feature to indicate the presence of a dog at an individual address. And the Informed Delivery service alerts customers to mail and packages coming to their homes, allowing them to plan for the carrier’s arrival by securing dogs safely.

The Postal Service offers the following safety tips:

  • When a letter carrier delivers mail or packages to your front door, place your dog in a separate room and close that door before opening the front door. Dogs have been known to burst through screen doors or plate glass windows to attack visitors.
  • Parents should remind children and other family members not to take mail directly from letter carriers in the presence of the family pet. The dog may view the letter carrier handing mail to a family member as a threatening gesture.
  • If a letter carrier feels threatened by a dog, or if a dog is loose or unleashed, the owner may be asked to pick up mail at a Post Office location or another facility until the letter carrier is assured the pet has been restrained. If the dog is roaming the neighborhood, the pet owner’s neighbors also may be asked to pick up their mail at the area’s Post Office location.

El Servicio Postal de Estados Unidos da a conocer las clasificaciones nacionales en lo que respecta a ataques de perros

WASHINGTON, 11 de junio de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La cifra de empleados del Servicio Postal de Estados Unidos (USPS) atacados por perros en todo el país descendió hasta 5,803 en 2019 — más de 200 menos que en 2018 y más de 400 menos desde 2017.

WASHINGTON, 11 de junio de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La cifra de empleados del Servicio Postal de Estados Unidos (USPS) atacados por perros en todo el país descendió hasta 5,803 en 2019 — más de 200 menos que en 2018 y más de 400 menos desde 2017. Hoy, el USPS destaca tecnologías que ayudan a reducir posibles ataques, al tiempo que da a conocer su lista anual de las ciudades que registraron la mayor cantidad de ataques de perros. Como parte de la Semana Nacional de Concientización sobre Mordeduras de Perros, que se extiende desde el domingo 14 de junio hasta el sábado 20 de junio, la organización también resalta iniciativas relacionadas con la seguridad dirigidas a proteger a sus empleados y brinda consejos a los dueños de mascotas.

«Incluso durante estos tiempos difíciles, es importante que nuestros clientes entiendan que los carteros siguen acudiendo a los hogares diariamente y que necesitan entregar el correo con seguridad», dijo Chris Johnson, gerente del Programa de Concientización sobre Seguridad del USPS. «Confiamos en que podemos lograr que las tendencias de los ataques continúen descendiendo, y la mejor forma de hacer eso es mediante el aumento de la concientización general de toda la población».

Consejos y tecnología

Según Johnson, son dos las formas en que la tecnología respalda la seguridad de los carteros: la primera es mediante los dispositivos móviles de entrega, los escáneres manuales que los carteros usan para confirmar las entregas a los clientes, que tienen una función para indicar la presencia de un perro en una dirección individual. La segunda forma es el servicio Informed Delivery, que avisa a los clientes sobre la llegada de correo y paquetes a sus hogares, lo que les permite hacer planes para la llegada del cartero y poner a los perros a buen recaudo.

El Servicio Postal brinda los siguientes consejos sobre seguridad:

  • Cuando un cartero entregue correo o paquetes a su puerta, lleve a su perro a una habitación separada y cierre la puerta de la misma antes de abrir la puerta delantera. Se sabe que los perros pueden irrumpir a través de puertas de malla o ventanas de lámina de vidrio para atacar a los visitantes.
  • Los padres deben recordar a los niños y a otros miembros de la familia que no tomen el correo directamente de los carteros en presencia de la mascota familiar. El perro puede interpretar la entrega del correo por parte del cartero al miembro de la familia como un gesto amenazante.
  • Si un cartero se siente amenazado por un perro, o si un perro está suelto o sin correa, se le pedirá a su dueño que vaya a buscar el correo a una oficina de correos u otra instalación hasta que el cartero esté seguro de que la mascota está encerrada. Si el perro está deambulando por el vecindario, a los vecinos del dueño del perro también se les pedirá que vayan a buscar el correo a la oficina de correos local.

Clasificación por ciudades en lo que respecta a ataques de perros en 2019
En el año 2019 un total de 5,803 empleados del USPS fueron atacados por perros. En la clasificación de las 20 primeras aparecen 30 ciudades, ya que algunas ciudades informaron la misma cifra de ataques:

As a Latina woman, Ms. Piña is deeply committed to the advancement and enriched of those in need. Ms. Piña has witnessed first-hand the political and economic injustices a broken immigration system has inflicted on the Latino Community. She believes that although the Affordable Care Act is in need of some reform, ultimately it is important as it provides much needed healthcare to so many families who would otherwise not have access. Ms. Piña has also taken the initiative to be an advocate for increased aid and assistance to the poor, she understands that all Americans deserve equal rights and that civil rights should be upheld for all. Ms. Piña believes that families torn apart due to failed immigration policies inflict more harm on our economy then help it, and that working to expand opportunities for Americans is vital to rebuilding our unstable economy.

Pablo A. Lam González’s new book Desde la Cruz, an engrossing novel inspired by true events of doctors struggling in a nation with inexistent liberty

LAKELAND, Fla., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Desde la Cruz was created by Pablo A. Lam González. Pablo is an author and a Cuban doctor. He graduated as a general practitioner and later a specialist in orthopedic surgery.

LAKELAND, Fla., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Desde la Cruz was created by Pablo A. Lam González. Pablo is an author and a Cuban doctor. He graduated as a general practitioner and later a specialist in orthopedic surgery.

Pablo A. Lam González said this about his book: «Based on real events, the story unfolds in a community of Cuban doctors in post-apartheid South Africa. It narrates the experiences, nostalgia, and difficulties they face in a world of freedom and democracy hitherto unknown, the pressures to which they are subjected by a government that oppresses and enslaves them as thinking goods.

In the midst of everything, the central character is involved in a casual event that will change the course of his entire life. Discovering everything behind his honorable work is rebirth; intelligence, courage, truth, honor, and hope. They will be their weapons against the absolutist power.

If for a Cuban freedom has an indescribable price, for a doctor this represents the almost unattainable chimera of his indoctrinated existence.»

Published by Page Publishing, Pablo A. Lam González’s new book Desde la Cruz is a riveting account of real-life challenges in the medical field amid the upholding of duty and oath to persevere life being convoluted by the toil of democracy’s absence and abuse of power.

Consumers who wish to witness a steadfast display of honor in a society wrecked by the pressures of harassment can purchase Desde la Cruz in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

LAKELAND, Fla., 11 de junio de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El Dr. Pablo Alfonso Lam González, es un médico cubano radicado en Venezuela desde el año 2002. Graduado en 1990 como médico general (Holguín 1990), y luego especialista de cirugía ortopédica (Guantánamo 1994). Brindó sus servicios en Sudáfrica donde conoció de cerca la vida de los médicos al servicio del gobierno desde 1998. En el año 2001 siendo jefe del staff de traumatología del Hospital Universitario Julio Trigo en la ciudad de La Habana, capital de Cuba, obtuvo el título de profesor, así como varios premios en el campo de investigación de su especialidad al idear una técnica quirúrgica que hoy lleva su nombre.

Basada en hechos reales, la historia se desarrolla en una comunidad de médicos cubanos en la Sudáfrica post–apartheid. Narra las vivencias, nostalgias y dificultades a que se enfrentan en un mundo de libertad y democracia desconocido hasta entonces, las presiones a las que son sometidos por un gobierno que los oprime y esclaviza cual mercancías pensantes.

En medio de todo, el personaje central se ve envuelto en un hecho casual que cambiará el rumbo de su íntegra vida; el descubrir todo lo que se esconde detrás de su honorable labor es el renacer; inteligencia, valor, verdad, honor y esperanza; serán sus armas frente al poder absolutista.

Si para un cubano la libertad tiene un precio indescriptible, para un médico este representa la quimera casi inalcanzable de su adoctrinada existencia.

Publicada por Page Publishing, la excelente obra de Pablo A. Lam González, Desde La Cruz, es un trabajo magnífico, lleno de lecciones de vida y repleto de humildad donde el lector se verá reflejado en cada paso, pues cualquier ser humano defendería la libertad.

Para los lectores que deseen vivir esta maravillosa experiencia, pueden hacerlo, a través de la lectura de este libro, concretando la compra de Desde La Cruz, en cualquier tienda de libros, o en las tiendas en línea de Apple iTunes, Amazon, Google Play o Barnes and Noble.
