The Spanish Group, a Translation Company, is Breaking Trends and Destroying Predictions During a Struggling Economy

June 15, 2021

NEW YORK, June 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Inc. Magazine has revealed that The Spanish Group is No. 107 on its prestigious annual listings of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States with two-year revenue growth of 167%. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are also being featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands August 18.

“Even in Tough Times, These Companies Are Set on Reinvention. The vision that led Inc. 5000 founders to rapid growth is helping them thrive during this extraordinary crisis” –Leigh Buchanan, editor-at-large for Inc. Magazine.

This achievement is even more notable because it comes when more of our world is becoming digitized and automated, and language services, in particular, are increasingly predicted to struggle. For over a decade, major tech companies like Google and Microsoft have poured millions of dollars into automated language solutions, and countless experts announced a foreseeable end to translators. But what we are learning is that many of our interactions (and the language that facilitates it) cannot be recreated through even the most advanced machine learning.

Quickly expanding into new regions and new industries, including the medical field, The Spanish Group is filling an ever-growing need caused by globalization, a need that many had assumed technology would be able to handle, but has since failed to live up to expectations. Numerous globalizing brands have learned the hard way that translation is more than word replacement, it is built upon cultural and social understanding, and for the foreseeable future, there is no suitable replacement for a skilled native speaker.

“By focusing on native speakers and sourcing the most accomplished language professionals in their fields, The Spanish Group has created a service that is both integral to the day-to-day operations of multiple Fortune 500 corporations, as well as a lifeline for thousands of families and individuals trying to make sense of convoluted immigration policies and requirements” states The Spanish Group’s CEO Salvador Ordorica.

For the 1st Time, The Spanish Group Has Appeared on the Inc. 5000 Regionals List, Ranking No. 107 With Two-Year Revenue Growth of 167% Percent

The continuing and growing global need for fast, accurate, and easy-to-use language services is shown in how The Spanish Group has exploded in growth. The Spanish Group’s recognition by the Annual Inc. 5000 is a much-deserved award and a telling acknowledgment of the future of international trade and business —one that may not be as automated as we once believed.

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the listed companies will be held virtually from October 23 to 27, 2021 As always, speakers will include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.

Food Safety When Eating Outdoors

June 15, 2021

SILVER SPRING, Md., June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — June 20^th marks the official start of summer, which means warm, sunny days perfect for picnics and barbecues. Unfortunately, this time of year is also a favorite for foodborne bacteria that cause foodborne illness (also known as food poisoning), which multiply faster at temperatures between 40°F and 140°F. Follow the tips below to keep your food safe when eating outdoors.

Before your picnic

Defrost meat, poultry, and seafood in the refrigerator or by submerging sealed packages in cold water. You can also microwave-defrost, but only if the food will be grilled immediately afterward.
Never reuse marinade that touched raw foods unless you boil it first or set some of the marinade aside before marinating food to use for sauce later.
Marinate foods in the fridge, not the countertop.
Wash all produce before eating, even if you plan to peel it. The knife you use to peel it can carry bacteria into the part you eat. Fruits and vegetables that are pre-cut or peeled should be refrigerated or kept on ice to maintain quality and safety.
If your picnic site doesn’t offer clean water access, bring water and soap or pack moist disposable towelettes for cleaning surfaces and hands.
Don’t forget to pack a food thermometer!

Packing coolers

Place food from the refrigerator directly into an insulated cooler immediately before leaving home.
Use ice or ice packs to keep your cooler at 40 °F or below.
Pack raw meat, poultry, and seafood in a separate cooler, or wrap it securely and store at the bottom of the cooler where the juices can’t drip onto other foods. Place beverages in a separate cooler; this will offer easy drink access while keeping perishable food coolers closed.
Avoid loading coolers in the trunk of the car, as it can collect heat. Once at the picnic site, keep food in coolers until serving time (out of direct sun) and avoid opening the lids often.

Grilling

Have clean utensils and platters available. Cook meat, poultry, and seafood to the right temperatures ─ use a food thermometer to be sure (see Safe Minimum Cooking Temperatures Chart). Keep cooked meats hot at 140 °F or warmer until serving time — set them to the side of the grill rack to keep them hot.
When removing foods from the grill, place them on a clean platter. Never use the same platter and utensils for cooked food that you used for raw meat, poultry, or seafood.

Time and temperature

Don’t let hot or cold food sit in the “Danger Zone” (between 40 °F and 140 °F) for more than 2 hours – or 1 hour if the outdoor temperature is above 90 °F. If they do, throw them away.

As always, remember to also practice social distancing (stay 6 feet apart from others you don’t live with) and follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s safety precautions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.

U.S. News & World Report Once Again Names Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford Among Top 10 Children’s Hospitals in the Nation

June 15, 2021

STANFORD, Calif., June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford has once again been ranked as a top 10 children’s hospital in the nation, according to the U.S. News & World Report 2021–2022 Best Children’s Hospitals survey, published today.

The rankings name Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford as the top children’s hospital in Northern California and include it on the Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll, a designation awarded to pediatric centers that deliver exceptionally high-quality care across multiple specialties. In addition, the 2021–2022 survey introduced state and regional rankings for the first time; Packard Children’s Hospital ranked second among all Pacific region and California children’s hospitals.

This is the 17th consecutive year that Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report surveys. Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2021, the hospital is the youngest institution among the top hospitals, the rest of which have been in operation for 70 to 165 years.

“As we commemorate the 30th anniversary of our hospital this month, achieving the Best Children’s Hospitals Honor Roll distinction yet again is indicative of the excellence in specialty care that has come to define Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford in its relatively short tenure,” said Paul King, president and chief executive officer of Stanford Children’s Health. “We are extraordinarily proud of this achievement as a direct result of our providers’ unparalleled innovation and commitment to delivering the highest-quality care for children and expectant mothers.”

The annual Best Children’s Hospitals survey rankings recognize the top 50 pediatric facilities across the United States in 10 pediatric specialties: cancer, cardiology and heart surgery, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology and GI surgery, neonatology, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology and lung surgery, and urology.

One of only two children’s hospitals in California that achieved Honor Roll status, Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital is at the center of Stanford Children’s Health, the Bay Area’s largest health care enterprise dedicated exclusively to children and expectant mothers. For the sixth consecutive year, the hospital achieved rankings in all 10 specialties. This year’s survey ranked five of the hospital’s specialties in the top 10, including two in the top five nationwide. These included neonatology (No. 3), nephrology (No. 4), pulmonology and lung surgery (No. 6), neurology and neurosurgery (No. 8), and diabetes and endocrinology (No. 9).

“In a year marked by the challenges of COVID-19 and social unrest, we at Stanford Medicine are honored to achieve this recognition by U.S. News & World Report,” said Lloyd Minor, MD, dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine. “This accolade is a testament to the health care workers, staff, and providers at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. Their dedication, expertise and compassion enabled us to continue providing preeminent care to patients in the Bay Area and beyond.”

The U.S. News & World Report Best Children’s Hospitals rankings are the most comprehensive source of quality-related information on U.S. pediatric hospitals and help families of children with rare or life-threatening illnesses find the best medical care available in consultation with their doctors and other medical professionals. Based on clinical data and an annual survey of pediatric specialists, the rankings methodology factors in patient outcomes, such as mortality and infection rates, as well as available clinical resources and compliance with best practices.

Honda Ridgeline Baja Race Truck Wins Again at Baja 500

June 14, 2021

The Honda Baja Ridgeline Race Truck conquered the Baja 500 for the fourth consecutive time this weekend, taking the Class 7 win.

ENSENADA, Mexico, June 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Honda Off-Road Racing Team returned to Baja California this weekend, and continued its string of Baja 500 successes with another Class 7 victory at the iconic off-road race. The impressive result was the fourth consecutive class win for the Ridgeline Baja Race Truck, and the fifth for the Honda Ridgeline in the last six years.

Quote
Jeff Proctor (team owner/driver Ridgeline Baja Race Truck) won Class 7 for unlimited V6 Trucks; fourth consecutive Baja 500 race win for Honda: “This was a very fast, yet very technical Baja 500, demanding as always.

Adventure Is Back: Royal Caribbean Makes Long-awaited Return To The Caribbean

June 14, 2021

Royal Caribbean International’s Adventure of the Seas set sail from Nassau, The Bahamas on Saturday, June 12, marking the cruise line’s highly anticipated return to the Caribbean. Adventure will sail a summer full of 7-night cruises from Nassau to Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s top-rated private island destination, Grand Bahama, The Bahamas and Cozumel, Mexico.

Adventure of the Seas Sails from The Bahamas with Fully Vaccinated Crew and Guests

MIAMI, June 13, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A milestone more than 15 months in the making: Royal Caribbean International and the communities of the Caribbean are celebrating the cruise line’s highly anticipated return to the region as Adventure of the Seas prepares to set sail from Nassau, The Bahamas yesterday. The first of Royal Caribbean’s ships to resume cruising in the Western Hemisphere, Adventure welcomed more than 1,000 vacationers on its opening cruise. The ship set sail with fully vaccinated crew and fully vaccinated guests 16 years of age or older, who make up 94% of all guests on board while the remaining 6% are children younger than 16. The ship now begins a summer lineup of 7-night sailings to Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean’s game-changing private island destination in The Bahamas; Grand Bahama Island, The Bahamas; and Cozumel, Mexico.

“The return of Adventure of the Seas marks a start in the tremendous step forward our guests have been waiting for and we’ve been working toward for more than 15 months. This is all possible thanks to the government of The Bahamas, the support of our partners and the hard work of our teams across Royal Caribbean,” said Michael Bayley, president and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “We are excited to welcome back our guests and crew, and help our Caribbean family regain the benefits of tourism their communities depend on. This is just the beginning, as we get ready to set sail from the U.S. for the first time on July 2.”

Hot on the heels of the cruise line’s return to the Caribbean, 11 Royal Caribbean ships are set to cruise from the U.S. and Europe once again, beginning in July and August. The complete lineup of Royal Caribbean’s 2021 cruises is available here.

Healthy and Safety Measures for Adventure of the Seas Bahamas Cruises

Vacationers sailing on Adventure can cruise with peace of mind, knowing that all crew members and guests are tested and fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Travelers 16 years of age or older must be fully vaccinated, and as of Aug. 1, guests age 12 or older. Vacationers younger than the eligible age must undergo testing and follow other protocols. The vaccine requirement is one of the many layers of measures that safeguard the well-being of our guests and crew as well as the communities we visit. These additional health and safety protocols include our fully vaccinated crew, testing, the robust onboard ventilation system, enhanced cleaning and sanitization. A full list of the travel requirements for summer cruises from The Bahamas on Adventure are available here.

Royal Caribbean will continue to evaluate and update its measures as circumstances evolve and in compliance with various government and health authorities. With cruises sailing to and from different destinations that have different sets of laws and guidelines, protocols will vary accordingly.
