Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cells Accumulate Nearly One-Half Million Zero-Emission Miles In First Year Of Consumer Availability

70 Tucson Fuel Cell CUVs Driving the Freeways of Southern California

Second Hyundai Fuel Cell Owner, Dave Uselton, Offers an Insightful “Day in the Life of a Fuel Cell Family” Video

Web-based Creative Campaign Highlights Everyday “Superhero” Owners Who Are Quietly Changing the World

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., June 10, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today marks a full year of consumer availability for the first mass-produced fuel cell vehicle, the Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell CUV. This innovative hydrogen-powered CUV has been delivered to 70 Southern California residents, who have since accumulated more than 475,000 miles on their local streets and freeways, all while emitting only environmentally-friendly clean water vapor. The Tucson Fuel Cell CUV offers high-versatility, refueling speed similar to gasoline, and an estimated 265 miles of driving range, comparing favorably with similar gasoline vehicles.

This increasing number of real-world fuel cell drivers and their cumulative impact on emissions reduction marks a major milestone in the continuing adoption of fuel cell technology. Recognizing the important role these consumers are taking in reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, Hyundai is helping to share their story in a variety of ways.

“Over the past year, Hyundai’s Tucson Fuel Cell owners are showing the world today that this technology represents the next generation of zero-emissions transportation,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Corporate and Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Building momentum for fuel cell vehicles and their real-world applications, these customers are sharing their experiences of how the Tucson fits seamlessly into their daily lives.”

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A FUEL CELL FAMILY: THE USELTONS

Dave Uselton, who has been driving the Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell in California since June of 2014, lives in Dana Point with his family. Dave is a global consultant who travels extensively and is exposed to various worldwide trends in his line of expertise. Back at home, Dave is very involved in music, both in his own band and supporting the music industry, and enjoys kayaking. His wife is very active with rescue dog efforts, regularly visiting local shelters and bringing abandoned animals to various public venues to help increase their exposure for adoption. The entire family has been quick to adopt the Tucson Fuel Cell in this variety of activities, all emissions-free.

THE LEAGUE OF TUCSON FUEL CELL DRIVERS

As the first automaker with a mass-produced fuel cell vehicle on the road today, Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell owners are helping to usher in the new era of sustainable, zero-emissions fuel. In a creative campaign hosted on the Tucson Fuel Cell website, Hyundai gives voice to these drivers as the everyday superheroes they represent. They are commuting to work, getting the girls to softball practice, hitting the drive-thru Starbucks on the way home, emissions-free. They’re keeping a low profile, going incognito behind the wheel of the Tucson Fuel Cell—the perfect vehicle for people quietly changing the world, one mile at a time, yet with an unbridled internal enthusiasm.

Eight of Hyundai’s fuel cell customers present their superhero personas with well-known artists creating comic-book-like illustrations of their powers. In addition, three of these superheroes are featured in their own videos:

Carolyn Rowley (“Mother Nurture”): An eco-friendly mother who started her own orphanage in Kenya and was awarded California’s Best Sustainable Garden drives a Fuel Cell because it runs only on water and serves as direct extension of her lifestyle.
Celso Pierre (“Blue Lightning”): When Celso isn’t daylighting as an engineer, he’s off helping green-field startups in Mexico and Brazil. This everyday superhero surfs, bikes, hikes and drives the Tucson Fuel Cell to help protect the environment he loves so dearly.
Nancy Gillespie (“Eco-Master”): Along with her trusty sidekicks, this commander of all-things-eco uses her power only for good, including founding an eco-friendly company that distributes environmentally-friendly dog products.

INNOCEAN USA, Hyundai Motor America’s agency of record, created the campaign which is hosted on the Tucson Fuel Cell website.

TUCSON FUEL CELL ADVANTAGES

The Tucson Fuel Cell alleviates some of the range and utility limitations of traditional battery electric vehicles. The Tucson Fuel Cell maintains the day-to-day flexibility of the gasoline-powered Tucson, so that its driver is able to fulfill their transportation needs without range or recharging-time concerns to their lifestyle.

Hydrogen refueling stations are on the rise, making fueling even more convenient for fuel cell drivers. According to both government and industry experts, hydrogen stations are forecasted to reach around 20 stations by the end of 2015 and approximately 50 stations in 2017.

The Tucson Fuel Cell is an advanced electric vehicle – one that creates its own electricity, on-board, from hydrogen. According to the University of California, Irvine Advanced Power and Energy Program’s study, the hydrogen fuel cell provides comparable total well-to-wheel emissions to a battery electric vehicle. For the Tucson Fuel Cell driver, this social benefit is achieved with greater utility, versatility and without compromises. Consider:

Driving range of 265 miles
Refueling time similar to gasoline vehicle of same size
Minimal reduction in daily utility compared with its gasoline counterpart
Instantaneous electric motor torque
Minimal cold-weather effects compared with battery-electric vehicles
Superb daily reliability and long-term durability
- No moving parts within the power-generating fuel cell stack
- More than two million durability test miles on Hyundai’s fuel cell fleet since 2000
- Extensive crash, fire and leak testing successfully completed
Quieter EV operation
Zero greenhouse-gas emissions, emits only water vapor

The Tucson Fuel Cell began mass production in February 2013 at the Ulsan, Korea assembly plant that also manufactures the Tucson gasoline-powered CUV. Manufacturing the Tucson Fuel Cell at the same plant allows Hyundai to leverage both the high quality and cost-efficiency of its popular gasoline-powered Tucson platform.

Amway delivers new technology for instantly
refined skin

ADA, Michigan, June 10, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Cashmere, silk, satin and velvet – the true luxury of these fabrics lies in their ability to feel as good as they look. It’s a question of texture, both in appearance and touch. When it comes to skin, the case is very much the same. Women want their skin to feel soft, touchable, smooth and appear perfectly flawless. Skin may occasionally seem dull, rough, even oily and pores appear larger. Short of a visit to the dermatologist’s office, retexturizing skin can feel like an impossible feat, until now. Artistry® skincare is introducing the Intensive Skincare Advanced Skin Refinisher, with our exclusive Smart Pore Technology.

INSTANT WOW – OPTICAL EFFECTS
Artistry® Intensive Skincare Advanced Skin Refinisher reveals a flawless finish immediately upon application, from the first use. Skin appears instantly refined, smoothed and softened for a perfectly youthful, visibly pore-less look. In fact, the formula contains Lintel Seed Extract an ingredient tested to visibly reduce pores by 62%.

The “wow” effect of Artistry® Intensive Skincare Advanced Skin Refinisher owes its success to an exclusive blend of ingredients:

Optical Diffusers – mattify and smooth the skin’s surface for a soft-focus appearance.
Lentil Seed Extract – antioxidant rich extract that helps reduce pore distortion caused by the build-up of skin cells and surface debris for a reduced appearance of pores.
Patented* Oat Extract – help exfoliate the skin’s surface area to unclog pores and smooth away roughness.

LONG-TERM REFINISHING
The key to the Artistry® Intensive Skincare Advanced Skin Refinisher lies in the balance of ingredients that deliver instantly against those that work their magic over time:

Java Tea Extract – helps suppress excess sebum production, down to the core of the pore.
Star Fruit Leaf Extract – reinforces the outside area of the pore’s structure to help reduce visible slackening, and helps tighten the appearance of pores for a more even skin texture.

This silky smooth serum glides easily over skin. Use twice daily, morning and evening after cleansing and toning, before applying moisturizer.

“It’s important for us make sure we’re not only offering a differentiated menu with unique flavors that can’t be found elsewhere, but also food that makes our guests feel good from a health perspective, and at a good value,” said Federico Valiente, senior marketing manager for Pollo Campero International. “With our new Citrus Peruvian Grilled Chicken, guests can enjoy two and three-piece chicken meals that are both tasty and under 500 calories.”

The new offering is in response to customers seeking healthier meal options that are both cost-effective and flavorful.

About Pollo Campero

Pollo Campero started as a tiny restaurant in Guatemala with a prized recipe for chicken passed down from generation to generation. Hundreds of restaurants later, Campero’s passion remains the same: to serve the best meals possible to family and friends. The name “Campero” is rooted in Latin American heritage. Derived from the word “campo” which references vast fields for agriculture and raising free range animals as well as the craftsmanship that goes into it, Campero means “from the campo” or from the earth. Inspired by earth’s natural flavors and its Latin heritage, more than 40 years later, Campero’s Authentic Latin Chicken has stayed true to its roots. From the delicate hand-breading, its unmistakable combination of herbs and spices, to 100% natural Latin drinks as well as earthy Latin sides, the restaurants deliver a true Campero experience: unique, exciting and natural flavors straight from the earth.

NeuroAiD™ has shown persistent long-term benefits after an initial 3-month treatment following stroke onset

June 10, 2015

SINGAPORE, June 10, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Moleac is pleased to announce the release of the CHIMES-E study results published online in the journal Cerebrovascular Diseases^[1]. It provides convincing data on NeuroAiD which confirm its persistent long-term benefits on patients’ recovery after an ischemic stroke. The CHIMES-E study results were first announced by Prof. Christopher Chen (CHIMES-E co-principal investigator) during the European Stroke Organization Conference (ESOC 2015) in Glasgow, April 17-19, as part of the Scientific Program during the Clinical Trial session.

The CHIMES-E study is a planned, international and multicenter study performed in a blinded and placebo-controlled manner. It has included 880 patients from the CHIMES study who have suffered an ischemic stroke of intermediate severity within 72 hours, treated with NeuroAiD™ or placebo for 3 months after the initial stroke. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of an initial 3-month course with NeuroAiD™ on long-term outcomes for up to 2 years.

This study has showed that NeuroAiD™ increases significantly the odds of achieving functional independence at 6 months which persisted up to 18 months after stroke, as measured by the mRS. All these results were consistent at various time points and seen on 2 indices, i.e. mRS and BI. It also provided further long-term safety data on NeuroAiD™, even when combined with other stroke treatments. “These persistent benefits seen up to 18 months are a clinical confirmation of the previously established neurorestorative properties (i.e. neuroplasticity and neurogenesis) of NeuroAiD™, and suggest that it may be beneficial to extend NeuroAiD™ treatment beyond the first 3 months after stroke,” said Prof. Christopher Chen, neurologist at the National University of Singapore and the principal investigator of the CHIMES study. “The CHIMES-E study provides new insight on the need for long–term assessment of post-stroke recovery in clinical trials of agents with neuroprotective and neurestorative properties such as NeuroAiD.”

These results confirm the hypothesis raised by the CHIMES investigators: longer treatment duration and follow-up beyond 3 months of stroke patients is needed to assess stroke recovery^[2].

About CHIMES Society
The CHIMES Society is an international academic industry collaboration with the objective to establish new stroke treatments. It is a Singaporean non-profit society founded by a group of experts in stroke and South-East Asian stroke clinicians interested to implement a research project: the NeuroAiD™ Efficacy on stroke recovery trial (CHIMES trial).

The CHIMES-E Study was supported by the CHIMES society and grants were received by CHLC from the National Medical Research Council in Singapore (NMRC) which supports the implementation of CHIMES trial in Singapore.

About Moleac
To address therapeutic gaps, Moleac has pioneered a new drug development approach, looking at sources of innovation from Natural Medicines, hence shortening considerably drug development cycle time and investment to bring medicine to sufferers’ unaddressed needs. Moleac’s neurorestorative compound NeuroAiD™ reaches patients in more than 30 countries.

The album also debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Top Albums chart, marking his sixth album debut within the Top Ten. X sold over 140,000 units in its first week while Spotify streams of the album continue to rise. Earlier this year, Brown released his first collaborate studio album, Fan of a Fan: The Album, with Tyga. The album debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200. With the continued release of chart-topping albums and singles, there’s no question why the talented Chris remains one of today’s most influential entertainers.
