Safe, close sleep for babies is made easier with the new and enhanced HALO® BassiNest®.

NEW YORK, Jan. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —  HALO®, a pioneer in making safe sleep easier and more comfortable for infants and parents, today announces several new product enhancements to its award-winning HALO® BassiNest® swivel sleeper. The BassiNest is the only bassinet that swivels and rotates 360 degrees and has a patented lowering bedside wall to bring baby close to parents for safe sleep and round-the-clock care. The new HALO BassiNest is the first product line update in five years, bringing modernized design elements to the Essentia, Premiere, Luxe and Luxe Plus models. Updates include a removable bed feature that can be used on and off the base, zip-off machine washable fabric, new modern prints, a sleek, easier-to-use base and upgraded soothing center.

Safe, close sleep for babies is made easier with the new and enhanced HALO® BassiNest®.

With nearly 3,500 sleep-related deaths among U.S. babies each year, HALO continues to engineer simple, innovative products that help parents follow safe sleep guidelines. According to Cara Dumaplin, neonatal nurse, infant sleep expert and CEO of TakingCaraBabies.com, “There are two main reasons parents are practicing unsafe sleep: they aren’t aware of safe sleep guidelines, or they are sleep-deprived and don’t have the tools to get their baby to sleep. HALO continues to lead with safe sleep products, keeping both parent and baby’s wellbeing in mind when developing products like the BassiNest, which meets the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) safe sleep guidelines. Bassinet products like the BassiNest make safe, close sleep achievable for baby and parents, also leading to better and longer sleep patterns.”

“Our company founder, Bill Schmid, lost his firstborn to SIDS in 1991. Since then, HALO has been committed to educating parents on safe sleep practices and developing innovative, safe sleep products that help set up parents for success from the very beginning,” says Amy Goldsmith, Director of Product Management. “As a result of our ongoing commitment to bring the best safe sleep products to families, we continue to be an industry leader in the bassinet category, and our BassiNest reigns as a baby registry must-have for expectant parents.”

The AAP recommends room sharing for the first six months to a year of life but not bed sharing. HALO delivers on this recommendation, helping parents practice safer sleep habits and allowing them to sleep close to baby while still having baby in their own safe, separate space.

New HALO BassiNest Models and features:

  • BassiNest Essentia Series comes in two new patterns, Morning Mist and Nautical Net, and features an updated, sleek base design and matte finishes.
  • BassiNest Premiere Series comes in two new patterns, Herringbone and Pebble, and features an updated sleek base design and matte finishes. The Premiere series also includes an improved soothing center with nightlights, four soothing sounds and two levels of vibration to help relax baby for sleep.
  • BassiNest Luxe Series features a removable bed that can be used on and off the base, so your baby can nap safely and comfortably throughout your home. Its premium fabric is a new Dove Grey Tweed pattern that is machine-washable and zips off easily for cleaning. It also features furniture grade wood finishes to complement home décor. The Luxe series also includes an improved soothing center with nightlights, four soothing sounds and two levels of vibration to help relax baby for sleep.
  • BassiNest Luxe Plus Series features a removable bed that can be used on and off the base, so baby can nap safely and comfortably throughout your home, and premium fabric, which comes in a Ivory Linen, is machine-washable and zips off easily for cleaning. It also features furniture grade wood finishes to complement home décor. The improved soothing center offers amber nightlights, four soothing sounds and two levels of vibration to help relax baby for sleep. The Luxe Plus series also includes a HALO BassiNest Newborn Insert, which provides a tapered, tighter sleeping surface to help baby feel more secure.

Other core features of the HALO BassiNest include its unique 360 degree swivel and rotation; a patented lowering bedside wall that allows parents to tend to baby directly from bed; breathable, mesh walls to ensure airflow; a height-adjustable base that tucks under most beds; and a firm surface as recommended by the AAP. HALO BassiNest is available for purchase at halosleep.com, buybuy Baby®, Target, and Amazon, with the exception of the Luxe Plus, which is sold exclusively at specialty boutiques and halosleep.com. Prices range from an SRP of $239.99 to $399.99.

All HALO BassiNests are independently tested to meet or exceed all U.S. CPSC and Health Canada safety standards for bassinets, and are certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). Each model is recommended for babies up to 20 lbs. or approximately five months. It is recommended to discontinue use when baby shows signs of pulling up, rolling over or pushing up on hands and knees.

Founded in 1994, HALO is a leader in developing safe sleep solutions for babies. Our mission is to make simple, innovative products that make safe sleep easier and more comfortable for parents and baby. HALO is proud to be the #1 choice of hospitals nationwide, with its products and educational materials used at almost 1,700 hospitals throughout the country.

Video: The Magic Behind Acura’s NSX Engine

2020 Acura NSX

TORRANCE, California, Jan. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Acura shares what makes the beating heart of the NSX so special in a new video released today. The video takes an up-close look at the development, construction, racing prowess, and human connection that underpins the bespoke twin-turbocharged V6 engine that powers Acura’s one-of-a-kind hybrid supercar.

Hand-built in a specialized 4,000 sq. ft. facility within the massive 2.5-million sq. ft. Anna Engine Plant in Anna, Ohio, each NSX engine is meticulously assembled to exacting standards by a single master builder. In addition to the NSX road car, the NSX’s unique engine has powered the NSX GT3 race car to multiple championships with little-to-no modification. This ability to handle both road and race duties in virtually “bone-stock” form is a testament to the engine’s design and durability. Last weekend, two NSX GT3 EVO race cars completed the grueling 24 Hours of Daytona, with the Meyer Shank Racing #57 completing 762 laps for a total distance of nearly 2,713 miles at race pace.

“It’s here at the Anna Engine Plant, where the heart of the NSX gets to beat for the very first time,” said Jim Mankin, who served as the engine quality project leader for production of the NSX engine. “The NSX engine room is staffed with the best-of-the-best talent from our assembly department who hand-build the engine that powers Acura’s American-made super car and who help the NSX make its mark on the world of manufacturing.”

In addition to highlighting the craftsmanship that brings the NSX engine to life, the video explores the background and development of the bespoke engine design, including an in-depth interview with Ted Klaus, who served as the global development leader for NSX. Klaus, now president of Honda Performance Development, oversees Acura’s multiple championship-winning North American sportscar racing program, including the Acura NSX GT3 EVO.

“The development leaders of the original NSX told us not to copy what they did. NSX is all about pushing into the future and going beyond,” Klaus said. “The core thing is that it’s not technology for technology’s sake – it’s technology in service to our customers, and it makes me extremely proud. This is an engine that is truly worthy of the name ‘NSX.'”

Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine Secure $5.9 Million NCI Grant to Improve Cancer Care for Minority and Underserved Communities

0
Montefiore

BRONX, N.Y., Jan. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Montefiore, the University Hospital of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, has received a $5.9 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to build on its success recruiting minority and underserved patients into cancer clinical trials and delivering the highest quality cancer care. This new grant, part of the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), is a continuation of funding first awarded in 2014.

Montefiore

“The most innovative cancer treatments are evaluated in clinical trials—often years before they are broadly available in clinical practices—but minorities are underrepresented in these trials,” said Joseph A. Sparano, M.D., professor of medicine at Einstein, associate director for clinical research at the NCI-designated Albert Einstein Cancer Center, and associate chairman for clinical research, oncology at Montefiore. “Our continued funding from NCI is helping us correct this disparity. This is particularly relevant for the diverse population served by Montefiore and Einstein.” Dr. Sparano is one of the principal investigators on the grant, along with Balazs Halmos, M.D, M.S., director, the Multidisciplinary Thoracic Oncology Program at Montefiore and professor, clinical medicine at Einstein, and Bruce D. Rapkin, Ph.D., professor of epidemiology & population health at Einstein and Montefiore.

One of Montefiore and Einstein’s most notable achievements supported by NCORP funding was the landmark TAILORx clinical trial. The study, which found that 70% of women with the most common type of breast cancer could safely skip chemotherapy, immediately changed clinical guidelines for women around the world. Dr. Sparano, who also served as chair of the TAILORx study, reported comparable findings for women of African-American and Hispanic descent within the overall study population.

In addition, Haejin In, M.D., M.B.A., M.P.H., assistant professor of surgery and of epidemiology and population health at Einstein, and a cancer surgeon at Montefiore, is co-leading an effort to develop a cost-effective model to detect stomach cancer earlier, building on her prior research demonstrating most people with stomach cancer are diagnosed in hospital emergency departments when the disease is already too advanced to treat effectively

Together, Montefiore and Einstein are one of only 14 NCORP Minority/Underserved Clinical Sites, which must have a patient population of at least 30% racial/ethnic minorities or rural residents. Approximately 80% of Montefiore and Einstein clinical trial participants are minorities – compared to 8% nationwide.

NCORP trials now also include tissue collection, so researchers can study biological mechanisms, including those that prevent treatments from being effective across different racial and ethnic groups. As Dr. Halmos explains: “Having our patients, who are predominantly minorities, participate in cutting-edge clinical trials helps researchers strengthen the scientific evidence for various cancer therapies. We expect this to not only benefit our patients but improve care at hospitals and clinics worldwide.”

The goals of the Montefiore and Einstein NCORP grant are to continue recruiting patients to the clinical trial network, maintain leadership at national scientific organizations like ECOG-ACRIN that design and conduct clinical cancer research, mentor young investigators and contribute to knowledge that will address cancer health disparities.

In addition to clinical trials focused on cancer diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Rapkin is leading the charge in studying where, when and how care is delivered, otherwise known as cancer care delivery research (CCDR). Montefiore and Einstein are part of a NCORP network of more than 900 hospitals, cancer centers and oncology clinics across 39 states eligible to participate in CCDR studies. 

“Cancer disparities don’t exist in a vacuum,” said Dr. Rapkin. “They span genetic, social, economic and cultural factors. By participating in NCORP, we have access to more information about what might be preventing people from getting the best care possible and a real opportunity to improve cancer prevention, treatment and survivorship care for all.”

Albert Einstein Cancer Center, a leader in basic and clinical cancer research and population-based studies, has been an NCI-designated center for almost 50 years.

About Montefiore Health System
Montefiore Health System is one of New York’s premier academic health systems and is a recognized leader in providing exceptional quality and personalized, accountable care to approximately three million people in communities across the Bronx, Westchester and the Hudson Valley.

The campaign, which previously stopped in Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and New York City, made its final stop in San Francisco. The renowned Northern California city, known for its innovative, vibrant and artisanal food culture, served as an ideal location to play host.

Guests of the event were welcomed into San Francisco’s Ferry Building, the historic waterfront location whose tower is also inspired by the Giralda in Seville, Spain.

People_en_Espanol_Ponderosas_Logo

MIAMI, Jan. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —  Meredith Corporation’s PEOPLE en Español announces that its Poderosas LIVE! and master class series, Poderosas PRO, will return to Miami, FL on March 14, 2020 at the James L. Knight Center. Equipped with a new layer of self-actualization, PEOPLE En Español’s Poderosas LIVE! event will also host a Career fair throughout the day – continuing a push towards facilitating opportunities for the modern business woman.

Hosted by three-time Emmy award-winning TV host, Michelle Galvan, the FREE one-day event gathers Latina business women, community leaders, activists, and celebrities annually to participate in a full-range of empowerment activities that aim to increase motivation and improve performance, including keynote addresses from prominent Hispanic women across many different industries.

As the most significant marquee event of its kind, Poderosas LIVE! continues to set trends and share insights that further the progression in the careers of Latina professionals. As Latinas are underway to becoming the new majority in the business realm, PEOPLE en Español has focused this year’s theme around providing a clear vision for the future –  a unique and necessary discussion especially given the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment in 2020 which guaranteed and protected a woman’s constitutional right to vote. As a franchise, Poderosas LIVE! will propel the momentum and progress that women continue to reach for – as their voice continues to play a crucial role in the future of America.

“US Hispanic women find themselves experiencing a great deal of success right now, and are simultaneously at the epicenter of a cultural and political shift,”  said PEOPLE en Español Publisher, Monique Manso. “We have laid the groundwork for the Hispanic woman in years past and will continue to broaden the resources and opportunities available to her to ensure she has access to a platform that fosters empowerment and financial and professional success.”

Last year, the Poderosas LIVE! experience evolved by introducing Poderosas PRO, a premium two-day opportunity within the event tailored to professional Latinas looking for an enhanced masterclass experience. The ticketed Poderosas PRO event offers attendees access to exclusive networking events, workshops, and keynotes – helping bridge the gap between the most prominent and insightful voices in Latina leadership, and those looking to learn from them.

You can register for the free Poderosas LIVE! experience or purchase your Poderosas PRO tickets by visiting the following Eventbrite links:

Sponsors for the 2020 “Poderosas Weekend” events include returning sponsors Macy’s and Neutrogena.

Talent, speakers, and programming line-up for the 2020 Poderosas LIVE! weekend will be announced in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for updates via social media @peopleenespanol #25Poderosas.
