TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The 2021 Acura RDX and TLX have earned the highest possible safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Both Acura models qualified for TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) by earning a top rating of «GOOD» in all crashworthiness tests, a «SUPERIOR» rating for the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), part of the standard AcuraWatch™ safety and driver-assistive technology and standard «GOOD» rated headlights. Not yet tested by the Institute, the all-new 2022 Acura MDX, the brand’s flagship model, is similarly expected to achieve a 2021 TSP+ rating when it is evaluated later this year.

All Acura sedans and SUVs feature the AcuraWatch™ suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies as standard equipment, including Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and Road Departure Mitigation. The 2021 Acura RDX and TLX feature Acura’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, designed to enhance occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions with a network of connected structural elements to distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle and reducing the forces transferred to the passenger compartment. Acura JewelEye™ LED headlights help both models achieve its best-in-class ratings.

To earn the 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must earn good crashworthiness ratings in all test modes, including the challenging passenger-side small overlap test. It also needs available front crash prevention (standard on RDX and TLX) that earns an advanced or superior rating in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian testing and standard good- or acceptable- rated headlights.

BOSTON, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today ClimaCell, the world’s leading weather intelligence platform is excited to announce Operation Tomorrow Space. To improve global forecasting technology and capabilities, ClimaCell has designed proprietary radar-equipped satellites and will begin launching dozens into space over the coming years. Known for pioneering a number of weather technology advancements in recent years, ClimaCell’s radar-equipped small-satellite constellation represents a first in the history of the weather industry.

«We are building the first of its kind proprietary satellites equipped with radar, and launching them into space to improve weather monitoring and forecasting capabilities,» said Shimon Elkabetz, CEO and Co-Founder of ClimaCell. 

While weather-focused satellites have been in space for decades, most existing satellites still are not able to accurately detect precipitation from space. The few that can cost more than $1 billion each and offer refresh rates in the order of a few days, rendering them practically useless for day-to-day weather applications such as hurricane forecasting and even less severe storm predictions. 

Through technological breakthroughs ClimaCell achieved a significant (over 95%) reduction in size and cost of weather-radar satellites, making the dream of true global radar coverage closer than ever. 

ClimaCell’s proprietary satellite design includes comparable performance to the existing $1 billion weather satellites such as NASA’s Global Precipitation Mission (GPM), but at a fraction of the price, enabling the opportunity to launch a constellation of dozens of satellites. To put into perspective the physical transformation of ClimaCell’s satellites, the company has reduced the size of existing weather satellites from the size of a school bus – considered industry standard until now – to the size of a miniature refrigerator. Each satellite will be equipped with its own radar, and ClimaCell expects that its constellation will increase global revisit time from satellite to earth by 50X.

«We are positioned for an exciting year in 2021 with Operation Tomorrow Space at the lead of our continued disruption and pioneering across the weather technology industry and beyond,» said Rei Goffer, Chief Strategy Officer and Cofounder at ClimaCell. «While today signifies the next generation of weather capabilities for every person and business on the planet, this is only the first step in support of Operation Tomorrow Space.»

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.
