Yasnel Pompa Torriente’s new book El Guía Perfecto, a galvanizing story that shares the harrowing and unfair true life of the author’s brethren

July 27, 2020

HOMESTEAD, Florida, July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book El Guía Perfecto was created by Yasnel Pompa Torriente, an author who was born in Jagüey Grande, Matanzas, Cuba. He was a high school chemistry teacher with a higher middle technician education specializing in industrial chemistry from the University of Matanzas Camilo Cienfuegos.

Yasnel Pompa Torriente said this about his book: “El Guía Perfecto is a book based on a true story. This tells a fact that occurred in a very small town. From the time of my grandparents to the present, only one person has lost a person in a brawl, although there have been many. This made it transcendental for the villagers. It highlights the poor work of MININT and the bias with which the municipal prosecutor worked without interest to many of them, not even for a moment, that if they achieved their plans, they would destroy the lives of other beings who were absolutely innocent according to all the tests. They did their best to blame them for instructional tricks. It accounts for the terrible conditions that some police facilities have—at least that of their municipality. As the author clings to God unconditionally and becomes a Christian, he took the problems of many of his classmates to heart and decided to tell them. He overcame and took advantage of those adverse living conditions. He saw, at times, that his life was like a drifting tree, but someone always approached him and offered his hand. It narrates facts where it is clearly shown that prisoners are also human beings with good feelings. He calls for reflection so that citizens who are deprived of liberty are better treated. It raises, in some way, how to stimulate and take advantage of inmates in prisons, offering them fair treatment.”

Published by Page Publishing, Yasnel Pompa Torriente’s new book El Guía Perfecto is a cry for justice, as it delves into the deplorable condition of the author’s fellow citizens due to poor institutional management.

Consumers who wish to ascertain the genuine meaning of being human in times of frailty and dissent can purchase El Guía Perfecto in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. Announces Plan to Deregister its Common Stock

July 26, 2020

MIAMI, July 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (“SBS” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:SBSAA) announced today that the Company intends to voluntarily deregister from the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

For the Company, as it is and has been for all companies, the global pandemic has provided need, reason and basis for the Company to reduce expenses and operate with utmost efficiency. With that continuing goal and objective, the decision of the Company to deregister the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) was driven by elimination of the significant costs and administrative burdens of preparing and filing current and periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the demands placed on management and the Company to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and the low number of holders of the Common Stock of the Company. The Company believes the expected savings of more than $1.5 million per year outweigh the advantages of continuing to be an SEC reporting company.

The Company intends to promptly file a Form 15 Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act with the SEC in connection with its intention to deregister its Common Stock and suspend its obligations to file reports with the SEC. The Company is eligible to file Form 15 because the Company’s Common Stock is held by less than 300 holders of record.

Information about the Company may continue to be obtained by accessing the Company’s website at www.spanishbroadcasting.com. Consistent with its past practice, undertakings and obligations, the Company will continue to provide reporting and financial information to holders of the Company’s 12.5% Senior Secured Notes and to holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.

Royal Caribbean Group reinvents cruise industry’s safety drill

July 24, 2020

– New patented approach helps guests sail away smoothly

– Technology licensed to other cruise lines to help eliminate crowding

MIAMI, July 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Royal Caribbean Group is replacing one of the least-loved but most important parts of a cruise vacation – the safety drill – with Muster 2.0™, an entirely new approach to delivering safety information to guests. The innovative program, the first of its kind, reimagines a process originally designed for large groups of people into a faster, more personal approach that encourages higher levels of safety.

With Muster 2.0, the key elements of the safety drill – including reviewing what to expect and where to go in case of an emergency, and instructions on how to properly use a life jacket – will be accessible to guests on an individual basis instead of a group approach that has been followed historically. New technology, eMuster™, will be used to help provide the information to guests via their mobile devices and interactive stateroom TVs. Travelers will be able to review the information at their own time prior to setting sail, eliminating the need for the traditional large group assemblies. The new approach also enables everyone on board to maintain better spacing as guests move about the ship, and it allows guests to enjoy more of their vacation with no interruption.

After reviewing safety information individually, guests will complete the drill by visiting their assigned assembly station, where a crew member will verify that all steps have been completed and answer questions. Each of the steps will need to be completed prior to the ship’s departure, as required by international maritime law.

“The health and safety of our guests and crew are our number one priority, and the development of this new muster process is an elegant solution to an outdated, unpopular process,” said Richard Fain, chairman and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group. “The fact that this will also save guests time and allow the ship to operate without pause means that we can increase health, safety and guest satisfaction simultaneously.”

“Muster 2.0 represents a natural extension of our mission to improve our guests’ vacation experiences by removing points of friction,” said Jay Schneider, Royal Caribbean Group’s senior vice president of digital. “In this instance, what’s most convenient for our guests is also the safest option in light of needing to reimagine social spaces in the wake of COVID-19.”

This marks the first dramatic change to the safety drill process in a decade, since Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas moved the life jackets from guest staterooms to the muster stations, which improved the evacuation process and has been widely followed throughout the industry. More than a year in the making, Muster 2.0 is also an initiative that will be part of the comprehensive set of protocols and procedures Royal Caribbean Group is developing along with the Healthy Sail Panel that was recently assembled in collaboration with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.

“This new process represents the kind of innovation that the Healthy Sail Panel is focusing on as part of its mission to enhance the health and safety of cruising,” said former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt, co-chair of the Healthy Sail Panel. “It shows that we can accomplish a lot if we try to think outside the box on safety.”

“I’d like to extend my congratulations to Royal Caribbean Group on this innovative milestone. It’s exactly what our industry needs during these unprecedented times and we appreciate the generous offer to participate in this innovation,” said Frank Del Rio, President and CEO, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “In this industry, we all work cooperatively to enhance health and safety, and this is an example of that.”

The distributed muster for ocean-going vessels concept is patented in the United States and is patent-pending in major markets around the world, including the various cruise industry flag states. The company has also worked with international regulators, the U.S. Coast Guard and other maritime and government authorities to ensure it meets all safety requirements.

In addition to introducing the new process on the ships of its own cruise lines – Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara – Royal Caribbean Group is offering to license the patented technology to interested cruise operators and will waive patent license fees during the time the world and industry battle the global pandemic. Patent licenses have already been granted to the company’s joint venture, TUI Cruises GmbH, as well as Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., the parent company of Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

Muster 2.0 was first tested on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas in January 2020. Guests who took part in the mock process indicated a strong preference for the new approach and also reported better comprehension and retention of the safety information.

About Royal Caribbean Group
Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE: RCL) is a cruise vacation company comprising four global brands: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Azamara and Silversea. Royal Caribbean Group is also a 50% owner of a joint venture that operates TUI Cruises and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. Together, our brands operate 63 ships with an additional 16 on order as of July 10, 2020. Learn more at www.rclcorporate.com or www.rclinvestor.com.

Dahua Technology Launches Retail Epidemic Safety Protection Solution To Enhance Store Operation Safety Under COVID-19

July 24, 2020

www.dahuasecurity.com (PRNewsfoto/Dahua Technology)

KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A recent report from AP News shows that a lot of major non-essential retailers worldwide have been affected by COVID-19. According to Neil Saunders, Managing Director of GlobalData Retail, more than 190,000 stores have temporarily closed, accounting for nearly 50% of U.S. retail square footage. At the same time, Swedish fashion retailer H&M also implied that after temporarily closing 3,441 of its 5,062 stores globally, it may be forced to lay off some employees permanently. How to survive during the pandemic and take effective prevention and control measures after work resumption has become a major consideration for retailers across the globe.

In response to the challenges facing the retail industry, Dahua Technology, a world-leading video-centric smart IoT solution and service provider, has launched a professional Retail Epidemic Safety Protection Solution to help retailers maintain safe operations and improve business efficiency during the pandemic, as well as providing upgraded plans to increase ROI after business resumption.

Featuring thermal body temperature monitoring and customer flow control, the Dahua Retail Epidemic Safety Protection Solution combines two technological advantages enabled by AI to provide double value for retailers, assisting in slowing the spread of the virus while creating a safe in-store shopping experience for customers.

The Dahua thermal body temperature monitoring camera allows highly accurate body temperature monitoring of ±0.3℃ (with blackbody). With built-in AI algorithm, it can simultaneously monitor a group of people from up to 3-meter distance, enabling fast and non-contact access. When installed at the entrances of supermarkets and shopping malls, it can help retailers with preliminary screening of employees and customers with abnormal body temperature. It notifies users to take corresponding measures before the temperatures change significantly, thereby enabling the appropriate protocol and conducting a second verification by medical professionals if necessary.

For retailers who require limited customer flow during the pandemic, the Dahua AI-empowered people counting camera can automatically and accurately calculate the real-time number of people entering the store, avoiding congestion and helping to mitigate the spread of the pandemic. When the number of shoppers exceeds the set value, the device will alarm and will display on the digital signage at the entrance of the store that the number of people inside is full, reminding customers to wait at the door. No extra employees are needed to count customers manually at the door, which can help retailers reduce labor costs and improve their management efficiency.

L.A. Care Health Plan, Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan to Distribute 7,000 Backpacks and School Supplies to Students

July 24, 2020

LOS ANGELES, July 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — While many students in Los Angeles County will not return to in-person classes this fall due to COVID-19, they will still need school supplies. In fact, some therapists say it’s important to continue the regular back-to-school traditions, like shopping for a backpack and school supplies to give children a feeling of normalcy. Unfortunately, one in five children in the U.S. lives in poverty, and families are struggling to put food on the table because of pandemic-related job losses. For many, school supplies are simply too much.

That’s why L.A. Care Health Plan and Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan are holding seven Back-to-School Drive-Thru events through their Community Resource Centers network. Three of the events will be combined with food pantries.

“As we approach the new school year, we anticipate challenges will continue as children face an extended distance learning period,” said Francisco Oaxaca, Chief of Communications and Community Relations, L.A. Care Health Plan. “We want to do everything we can to ensure that the most under-resourced children have the best chance to thrive and succeed in school. And something as simple as having the right school supplies may help give them that.”

At each of the seven drive-thru events, the health plans will distribute 1,000 backpacks filled with school supplies, and local nonprofit Access Books will distribute 100 tote bags stuffed with three children’s books featuring positive, uplifting stories to help young readers cope with the stresses caused by the pandemic.

“Regardless of what returning to school may look like this year, we know students will need the necessary materials to succeed,” said Kellie Todd Griffin, Senior Director, Community and Provider Engagement, Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan. “Many families are in need during this difficult time, and we are committed to be a resource by providing backpacks, filled with essential school supplies, to help alleviate additional burdens as they prepare for the start of the school year.”

In September of last year, L.A. Care and Blue Shield Promise announced a combined investment of $146 million dollars as part of a five-year commitment to expand Community Resource Centers across Los Angeles County. This unique collaboration will help improve health outcomes in local communities and the total quality of life for members of the two health plans. Each center will connect members from both plans and the Los Angeles community to classes and personalized services that will address social needs and keep them active, healthy and informed.

The Back-to-School events are an extension of that goal. Four events will be hosted by the health plans’ jointly operated Community Resource Centers, and three will be hosted by L.A. Care Family Resource Centers. Below are the dates and locations for the Back-to-School Drive-Thru events:

Saturday, July 25 – Combined with Food Pantry
9:00 am – Noon
Community Resource Center in Pomona
696 W. Holt Avenue, Pomona

Dr. Carlos Ramos’s New Book ¿Dañará La Religión La Vida De La Gente? An Astute Guide On The Misguidance Of Religious Preaching Convoluted By Mundane Ideas

July 24, 2020

LOS ANGELES, July 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Dr. Carlos Ramos said this about his book: “True freedom exists by applying things correctly, which contracts the obligation to be obedient to certain principles. However, obedience is linked not to yourself or to another human being but to God. Many leaders think they are teaching obedience correctly, teaching their own ideas as revealed doctrine from God, but they deceive themselves when his teachings of man are mixed with the teachings of God.”

Published by Page Publishing, Dr. Carlos Ramos’s new book ¿Dañará la religión la vida de la gente? will illuminate believers on the truth of religious doctrines being besmirched by human ideologies that tarnish the true point of God’s Word

Consumers who wish to raise their awareness between true godly teaching and earthly, polluted precepts can purchase ¿Dañará la religión la vida de la gente? in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
