In his new role, Dr. Jarris, who currently serves as Senior Vice President, Maternal and Child Health Program Impact at the March of Dimes, will lead the Foundation’s medical and public health efforts to reduce infant mortality, birth defects and premature birth, the leading causes of death and disability among babies in the United States.

“We are pleased to welcome Dr. Paul Jarris as the next Chief Medical Officer of the March of Dimes Foundation,” said Gary Dixon, Chair of the National Board of Trustees. “Throughout his career in public health and healthcare, he has advanced critical health issues at the local, state and federal levels. This experience will be crucial to meeting March of Dimes targets for reducing preterm birth rates across the country.”

Before he joined the March of Dimes in 2015, Dr. Jarris was Executive Director of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), where he partnered with the March of Dimes to challenge all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to lower their preterm birth rates.

Previously, Dr. Jarris served as Commissioner of Health for the State of Vermont, where he led healthcare policy matters and championed new public health initiatives, addressing access to care, prevention, and the factors that impact population health. In addition, he has held a number of health insurance executive-level positions, including President and CEO of Vermont Permanente Medical Group. Throughout his career, Dr. Jarris has received numerous prestigious award and honors, and has served as a member of many health-related boards and committees.

The appointment of Dr. Jarris follows the retirement of Edward R.B. McCabe, MD, PhD. Dr. McCabe, an internationally renowned expert in pediatrics and genetics, held the position of Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer since 2012. During his tenure, Dr. McCabe developed and led numerous March of Dimes initiatives to improve the health of pregnant women and babies. In 2016, he was recognized by the White House, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the public health community as an early and forceful exponent of a rapid response to prevent Zika virus infection.

“We’re grateful for the leadership and legacy of Dr. McCabe,” said Stacey M. Stewart, MBA, President-Elect of the March of Dimes. “The advances that have been made under his guidance have left an indelible impact on the lives of mothers and babies. We wish Dr. McCabe the best in his retirement and express appreciation for his work to smoothly transition Dr. Jarris into his new role.”

The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. For more than 75 years, moms and babies have benefited from March of Dimes research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs.

Catholic Relief Services Supports Pope Francis’ Appeal to End Violence in Aleppo; Syria

December 14, 2016

BALTIMORE, Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With a ceasefire collapsing in Aleppo Wednesday, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) supports the efforts of Pope Francis, who appealed for “an end to the violence and the peaceful resolution of hostilities” in Syria. Pope Francis also called for full respect of international law in a letter sent yesterday to the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, through Cardinal Mario Zenari, Apostolic Nuncio to Syria.

For more information on Catholic Relief Services visit, www.crs.org and www.crsespanol.org.

As a humanitarian organization that has come to the aid of more than 1.25 million war-affected Syrians across the Middle East and Europe, CRS calls on all sides of this conflict to safeguard lives and ensure humanitarian access.

“Peace is the only viable option,” said Sean Callahan, CRS’ chief operating officer, who returned from a visit to the region this week. “Far too many lives have been lost in this conflict, and we join Pope Francis’ call to protect human rights, grant safe passage for all those trying to flee the violence, and for urgent humanitarian aid to reach those who desperately need it.”

Bishop Gregory J. Mansour of the Eparchy of Saint Maron in Brooklyn, NY, and CRS board chairman, added: “In my many travels to the region, I’ve witnessed the harrowing circumstances that millions of Syrians have lived through since the war began nearly six years ago. Let us heed the call of the Holy Father and end the violence and pray for a peaceful resolution to the hostilities.”

The United States must renew the serious international, diplomatic effort to end the fighting in Syria and find solutions to the conflict. CRS urges the U.S. Administration and the international community to work together to provide immediate and impartial humanitarian assistance, and to encourage steps towards an inclusive society in Syria that protects the rights of all its citizens. This is the only way the displaced will be able to return home.

“The path ahead will be arduous, but the time is long past for the international community to pursue diplomacy and peace in Syria and the region,” added Bishop Oscar Cantu of Las Cruces, NM, who chairs the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) International Justice and Peace Committee. “In the final analysis only peace will end the refugee crisis, preserve the Christian presence, and allow inclusive societies to be built that respect the human rights of all.”

Independent Podcasters Can Earn Money From Advertisements

December 14, 2016

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Podomatic and AdvertiseCast have joined forces to help independent podcasters earn money from advertisements.

Podomatic, a podcasting platform and the largest community of independent podcasters, has joined forces with AdvertiseCast, an advertising marketplace, to provide podcasters with increased revenue opportunities from businesses and brands looking to advertise through podcasting which continues to increase in popularity as an advertising medium.

Many podcasters are independent creators with a passion and craft who would love to make money from advertisements but are often not considered by advertising companies or larger brands because the smaller podcasters don’t have large followings of listeners. At the same time, smaller businesses and brands aren’t often able to afford the advertising rates demanded by large, national brands or agencies. Podomatic and AdvertiseCast’s partnership focuses on independent podcasters and creates a marketplace for advertisers to place ads in independent podcasts. Unlike other forms of media, podcast listeners are more likely to make a purchase after listening to an ad in a podcast since the podcaster has a close relation with the listening audience.

“Podomatic’s new partnership with AdvertiseCast is what the industry and small independent podcasters were waiting for,” said Sloan Wilson, head of Partnerships at Podomatic. “It was about time for this to happen. Many independent podcasters were left frustrated by advertising agencies that did not understand the opportunity and the special relationship that exists between podcasters and their audiences.”

Podcasters can join Podomatic at www.Podomatic.com and create their profile for advertisers to view and place advertisements. The listing is free and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Podcasters also get a large percentage of the revenue from the advertisement with 80% of the revenue from the ad going to the podcaster.

“We are very excited to be partnering with Podomatic. They have the world’s largest community of independent podcasters and we are honored they have chosen us to be their advertising partner. We are looking forward to helping their clients find show sponsors.” – Trevr Smithlin, Founder and CEO at AdvertiseCast

ABOUT PODOMATIC
Podomatic is a global leader in providing publishing and hosting services to podcasters. As the world’s largest community of independent podcasters, Podomatic’s core mission is to build the best tools and platform to help podcasters succeed. For more information, visit www.Podomatic.com.

Holiday Gift-Giving Ideas: Help Create Jobs This Season

December 14, 2016

ROCKVILLE, Maryland, Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The holiday season provides the perfect opportunity to give thanks and to give back to people who are facing challenges within our communities. Youth, particularly those at risk for delinquency, need assistance to help them succeed in spite of the unfortunate circumstances they may have encountered. This season, Goodwill encourages you to give them the gift of employment.

Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7643552-goodwill-create-jobs-shawnteal-turner

In the spirit of holiday giving, Goodwill is urging everyone to make a real difference by giving a financial gift or donating stuff to your local Goodwill organization. Your gifts and donations are used to help fund Goodwill’s job placement services, onsite and virtual skills training, employment training and other community-based services, such as career counseling, English-language training, financial education, and industry-recognized credentials. And those services go to help people who need a hand up, not a handout. One such person who benefitted from Goodwill services is Shawnteal Turner.

Turner came from an abusive household. She spent her 13^th birthday in juvenile. By adulthood, according to Turner, she was, “hanging out with the gang members on the street corners…not really accomplishing anything.” Then a friend encouraged her to go to a job fair at Goodwill, and that helped her turn her life around. She came to Goodwill at 21 years old without a job, a high school diploma or a sense of direction in her life.

Turner became involved with Goodwill’s Youth Green Corps, a program that teaches 18- to 24-year-olds about environmental stewardship. Through this program, she earned her High School 21+ diploma during an internship at Goodwill, and she gained job and life skills. She learned how to set up a bank account, build a résumé and set reasonable goals for herself. Currently, she is employed by Goodwill as a youth program assistant where she mentors youth program participants.

Turner says she hopes that in five years’ time, she will still be with Goodwill, helping other people turn their lives around. In fact, she says she hopes she saves thousands of people.

“I’m on a mission right now to save our young people,” Turner said. “I feel like if somebody like myself that had…that experience as these young people [came] to them and said, ‘Look, we can do something different,’ that it would make a huge difference.”

During this holiday season, if you’re having trouble coming up with great gift ideas, Goodwill encourages you to give the gift of employment.

“We hope that this holiday season, everyone will fight for job creation, purpose and opportunity,” said Jim Gibbons, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International. “That’s because we know that each and every one of us is able to make a real difference by giving a financial gift or donating our stuff to Goodwill.”

Monetary gifts can be given safely and securely through Goodwill’s website. There is a dropdown menu on Goodwill Industries International’s website to donate to a local Goodwill organization, and the financial gift goes directly to helping members of that community access the services they need to succeed. Goodwill’s donation impact calculator provides detailed feedback on the effect even the smallest donations can have for people in the donor’s community.

By donating to Goodwill, you help open up opportunities for others looking to find a job and build skills, including veterans and military families, single mothers, seniors, youth, and many others, including people like Shawnteal Turner.

Share your Goodwill donations on Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #WhyGoodwill.

Survey of Inspire America Foundation and America TeVe

December 13, 2016

MIAMI, Dec. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Inspire America Foundation and America TeVe show the relevant results of the first survey conducted among Cuban Americans voters in Florida following the death of dictator Fidel Castro and the election victory of Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump.

The study was done by Survey USA, one of the most prestigious polling organizations in the United States, and explores the opinion of these voters on issues vital for Southern Florida and Cuba such as the relations between Washington and Havana, the validity of the law of Cuban adjustment Cuban and human rights on the island among others.

Starting with a balanced universe of 600 persons that were interviewed, the survey explores in an incisive and explicit manner the aspects that other polls have never touched with sensitive complexity after the restoration of relations between the United States and Cuba from late 2014.

As per the poll:

From 478 registered Cuban-Americans voters who were interviewed about the presidential election, 60% voted for Donald Trump; while 31% voted for the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton. In this particular, the poll had a margin of error of +/-4.5%.
Cuban-Americans considered unfair that Raul Castro’s Government stays with 92% of the salary that American companies pay and/or pay their employees on the island.
In a ratio of 6 to 1, the Cuban Americans considered that, after the death of Fidel Castro, the United States must cease all commercial openings with Raul Castro’s government until solid steps are taken towards the democratization of the island.
The majority of Cuban-Americans considered the Cuban Adjustment Act should be amended to avoid being violated or abused by Cubans who arrive from the island claiming political persecution, taking benefits prescribed by the Act and then traveling to Cuba under normal circumstances without fear of reprisal.

Survey USA is a non-partisan pollster, founded in 1990 and headquartered in New Jersey, with presence in 50 States in the nation. Their services are usually requested by 19 of the 25 major American communication companies which rely on their scientific judgment on issues related to media, the Government, the private sector and the public. Its position is unique in the research of public opinion in all the levels.

Both the Inspire America Foundation and America TeVe wanted to expand the spectrum of opinion among Cuban Americans on issues that concern them daily. We hope that its results will contribute to enrich the political discourse in the context of relations between Cuba and the United States as well as in the internal context of our community.

Results of the poll will be available on Tuesday, December 13th.
