Don_Q_Logo

PONCE, Puerto Rico, July 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Destilería Serrallés Inc., the producer of Don Q, Puerto Rico’s number-one rum, is proud to announce the launch of Don Q Reserva 7, the latest addition to its curated portfolio of aged rums made with the finest reserves from the distillery in Ponce, PR.

The distillery’s continuous focus on expanding its aged and super premium offering aligns with increased consumer demand and curiosity in the segment. Jaiker Soto, Master Blender, crafted a vibrant blend of multi-column distilled light rums and single copper column distilled heavy rums, which were aged for a minimum of seven years in American white oak barrels.  For this unique blend, Soto collaborated with Silvia Santiago, Senior VP of Manufacturing and Maestra Ronera, along with Roberto Serrallés, sixth-generation rum maker, bringing together decades of rum making experience for the creation of this superb rum.

The team hand selected and blended Puerto Rican rums that were aged for a minimum of seven years to create a new Don Q rum variant that is radiant and bold with an intricate start and a mature, yet brilliant, long finish. This versatile rum expression is best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, in a cocktail like the Classic 7 or Honey Breeze, or to elevate a favorite mixed drink, simply by adding soda or fresh juice.

“We wanted to create a rum with a distinctive flavor profile and maturity that had balanced notes and the characteristics fans have come to expect from Don Q Rums.  With Reserva 7, our goal was to craft a rum that honored the Serrallés family and their legacy of making world-class rum,” says Soto. “It was an honor to taste through reserves and blend a selection of aged rums to create a smooth and elegant expression with notes of roasted oak, caramelized fruit, honey and chocolate.”

Color: Bright intense amber 

Aroma: The rum greets the nose with refined notes of oak, dark caramel and spices, characteristic of its long aging. Its robust body is reminiscent of chocolate, toasted almonds, raisins and apricot.

Alcohol: 80 Proof, 40% ALC/VOL

Don Q Reserva 7 is presented in a new bottle design with the brand’s updated image and logo. The elongated glass bottle evokes the refinement and simplicity that has characterized the rums crafted by the Serrallés family for 155 years.  The brand’s new packaging highlights Don Q’s values of heritage and quality and was executed by Stranger and Stranger, the world-renowned, internationally awarded British firm that specializes in packaging design for premium spirit brands globally. 

Don Q’s Reserva 7 will be available starting August 2020 at select liquor stores, supermarkets, hotels and restaurants, Drizly and other third-party services throughout the country and online via www.donqrum.com with a MSRP of $24.99.

Gerardo Solórzano Garcia’s New Book “One Eagle’s Journey To Glory” Is A Gripping Story Of An Eagle’s Relentless Journey Through Hardship Toward Fulfillment

Gerardo-Sol-rzano-Garcia

LAS VEGAS, July 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Gerardo Solórzano Garcia, an author who emigrated from Durango, Mexico, to Las Vegas, Nevada, with his family, has completed his new book “One Eagle’s Journey to Glory”: an engrossing narrative of an eagle’s path to glory that is fraught with dangers that test its resilience and fervor.

Author Garcia shows the frightening allure of fate that which one must overcome to attain what is yearned most in life: “As the Mexican golden eagle is raised and prepared by its parents to go out south in search of a magical moment where a new nation would take place, after the accomplishment of this journey, some nasty snakes kill his parents in an effort to kill him to prevent this magical moment from happening. Having experienced this nasty event, the eagle swears revenge and takes a flight to the south. The snakes realize that this eagle is still alive and team up with a big flock of bloodthirsty scavengers and, flying on top of them, head south to stop this eagle. Parallel to this eagle’s journey, the Aztecs too have to head over to the south in pursuit of this magical moment where an eagle has to be on top of a nopal devouring a serpent. There is where their empire and Tenochtitlan would be built. Both know that this is a god’s mandate and they have to do it even at the risk of their lives, for if they fail, a spell could fall on them forever.”

Published by Page Publishing, Gerardo Solórzano Garcia’s impassioned tale is a heart-stirring masterpiece that evokes purpose and wisdom in the readers’ hearts and minds.

Readers who wish to experience this thought-provoking work can purchase “One Eagle’s Journey to Glory” at bookstores everywhere or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA) press briefing to hold Governor Newsom accountable for COVID-19 response failure of making alcohol “essential”

0
California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA) AlcoholPolicyAlliance.org (PRNewsfoto/Alcohol Justice)

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA) will hold a virtual press event tomorrow to acknowledge California Governor Gavin Newsom’s failure to make public health and safety essential by instead making alcohol essential in the state.

California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA) AlcoholPolicyAlliance.org (PRNewsfoto/Alcohol Justice)

What:   Virtual Press Event with Simultaneous Spanish Translation
When:  Wednesday July 22, 2020, 10 – 10:45 a.m.
Where: On-line — Zoom Call – pre-registration required:   http://bit.ly/2AZfBWp_CAPA
Who:

Why:   As the Coronavirus rages across California, another health-related problem is also creeping up. Alcohol consumption is increasing as ways to get alcohol are easing. This indicates a serious failure in California by the Governor and the top state agencies reporting to him to acknowledge and address public health and safety concerns of making alcohol essential during the pandemic. The catastrophic annual alcohol-related harms that already plague the state have been dismissed along with the rise in those harms being experienced now that alcohol was deemed essential.

Under Governor Newsom, the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) has stated its priority is “economic recovery”. It has ignored arguments of concern for public health. Since the beginning of the pandemic shutdown, under this dubious guise of economic relief,  the ABC has deregulated and relaxed enforcement to help alcohol licensed establishments continue to operate. These dangerous, revenue-driven policy changes have promoted increased alcohol sales and consumption during the stay-at-home orders. They include allowing home deliveries with ineffective age verification, cocktails-to-go, expanding sales into public spaces, and the normalization of drinking during a public health emergency of massive proportions.  

In addition, under Governor Newsom, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has apparently approved these measures instead of considering the harms associated with increased alcohol consumption at this time: impaired judgement, financial difficulties, increasing domestic violence,  increasing vulnerability to Coronavirus by weakening the immune system, and the general negative effects on mental health.

With this event, CAPA is launching a public CALL to ACTION to ask the Governor to closely re-examine California’s  relationship with Big Alcohol, acknowledge that excessive alcohol use is No. 3 on the list of preventable causes of death in the state and to rescind the ABC’s COVID-19 regulatory rollbacks for economic relief. It’s time to make public health essential, not alcohol.

California currently suffers over 10,500 alcohol-related deaths, 165,000 alcohol-related hospitalizations and $35 billion in related economic harm.

The California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA) unites diverse organizations and communities in California to protect health and safety, and prevent alcohol-related harm through statewide action.

Acura’s Successful Partnership With Team Penske To End After 2020

0
In addition to sweeping the major IMSA DPi championships in 2019, the Acura ARX-05 scored four race wins, 14 additional podium finishes and nine poles from 22 races since its debut in 2018 racing against Cadillac, Mazda and Nissan.

TORRANCE, California, July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Acura Motorsports today announced it has come to a mutual agreement with Team Penske to end its successful partnership at the conclusion of the current IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season.

In addition to sweeping the major IMSA DPi championships in 2019, the Acura ARX-05 scored four race wins, 14 additional podium finishes and nine poles from 22 races since its debut in 2018 racing against Cadillac, Mazda and Nissan.

The championship-winning program originated in 2017 in preparation for Acura’s debut in the premier class of IMSA competition at the start of the 2018 season.  Acura Team Penske scored its first Daytona Prototype International (DPi) victory – at the Acura Sports Car Challenge at Mid-Ohio – in 2018; and captured three more victories en route to sweeping the Manufacturer, Team and Drivers titles last year.

“On behalf of everyone at Acura and HPD, we’d like to thank Team Penske for their incredible efforts and impressive results racing the ARX-05,” said Ted Klaus, president of Honda Performance Development, the competition arm for Acura Motorsports.  “The success we’ve achieved together during the first two-plus years of the program makes us even more determined to score more victories, defend our championships, and conclude our partnership on the highest of notes.”

In addition to sweeping the major IMSA DPi championships in 2019, the Acura ARX-05 scored four race wins, 14 additional podium finishes and nine poles from 22 races since its debut in 2018 racing against Cadillac, Mazda and Nissan.

The Acura ARX-05 [Acura Racing eXperimental, generation 5] is the latest in a line of endurance prototypes to be fielded by the company dating back to 1991, just five years after the 1986 launch of the Acura brand.  Together with our partner ORECA, and based on the ORECA 07 chassis, HPD led the design and development of the ARX-05; featuring Acura-specific bodywork and powered by Acura’s production-based AR35TT twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine, which shares over 400 mass production components with Acura’s road going V6 products.  

The Acura ARX-05 has added to a rich legacy of Acura sports car racing campaigns and championships, including the 1991-93 IMSA Camel Lights manufacturer and driver championships; 53 IMSA and American Le Mans Series class or overall race victories; and the 2009 American Le Mans Series manufacturer, driver and team championships in both the LMP1 and LMP2 classes. Racing and competition are cornerstones of Acura’s existence, and these on track achievements continue to epitomize Acura’s tagline of Precision Crafted Performance.

Acura Motorsports also campaigns the Acura NSX GT3 Evo in the IMSA GTD category with defending GTD champion Meyer Shank Racing and the Gradient Racing organizations.

Previously, HPD was affiliated with Team Penske in Championship Auto Racing Teams Competition (CART) in 2000 and 2001.  The partnership resulted in 10 race wins, two drivers’ championships (both for Gil de Ferran), and the 2001 CART Manufacturers’ Championship.  More recently, during the single-supplier era in NTT INDYCAR SERIES competition, Penske and HPD combined for two Indianapolis 500 victories (Sam Hornish Jr. in 2006 and Helio Castroneves in 2009), plus the drivers’ title for Hornish in 2006.

Roger Penske has long been an important part of the Acura family as one of our great Acura dealers, and it has been a privilege to have him as part of the Acura Motorsports family as well,” said Jon Ikeda, Acura vice president and brand officer. “We’ve also had a very spirited competition with Team Penske during our previous ALMS Acura prototype programs.  We will always be thankful for the contributions made by Team Penske over the three-year course of our DPi program.”

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

www.dahuasecurity.com

KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 21, 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.

ATLANTA, July 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Home Depot, the world’s largest home improvement specialty retailer, today announced that it is accelerating its investments in resets of its outdoor power categories, as it also refines and simplifies its primary brands across the category.

“We have been extremely pleased by the customer response to our premiere outdoor power brands, as we improved the shopping experience with a simplified presentation,” said Ted Decker, executive vice president, Merchandising. “Similar to prior resets in our power tool business, outdoor power equipment is being reset and positioned by brand, and we will complete this rollout to approximately 1,300 U.S. stores by year’s end.”

The enhanced assortment will include The Home Depot’s top brands of innovative cordless outdoor power – Ryobi, Makita, DeWalt, and Milwaukee – as well as the most trusted brands of gas-powered products in the industry – Toro, Echo, John Deere, Cub Cadet, Honda, and Troy-Bilt.

As part of this merchandise reset, the company has made the decision to discontinue the Ego line of outdoor power equipment.

Earlier in the year, the company began refreshing its presentation of the outdoor power category to make it easier for customers to determine which equipment would best meet their needs. The branded-bay presentation features the latest in battery-powered technologies that have become increasingly popular among DIY consumers and professional landscapers.

Ryobi, DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Makita provide common battery platforms across their industry-leading power tool and outdoor power equipment products, which collectively make up the vast majority of batteries already owned by consumers. This provides customers an array of options and flexibility for their battery powered tools that can be interchanged on the same battery platform.

The company expects to complete the resets in all remaining stores through spring of 2021.

About The Home Depot

The Home Depot is the world’s largest home improvement specialty retailer, with 2,293 retail stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico.

The Home Depot’s stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: HD) and is included in the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor’s 500 index.
