On a day as special as Thanksgiving, 90% of Americans will eat turkey according to a study by the University of Illinois. More than 50 million turkeys will be cooked in the quintessential celebration that defines the country.

By simply adding the versatile European olive to your menu, your dishes will continue to maintain the traditional essence of your recipes and add a distinguished touch that will delight your guests.

In addition to turkey, the main symbol around which the entire Thanksgiving menu revolves, new vegetable options also require maximum care and that is why olives are a perfect option to turn your recipe side dishes into something unforgettable. Manzanilla, Hojiblanca, Queen, stuffed with Pimiento… the variety is another of its attributes and can be found in numerous types and formats: whole, sliced, pitted, stuffed and with hundreds of dressings.

If there is a product suitable for big celebrations it’s the turkey. Accompany it with a few European olives and you will elevate its flavor to another level.

High amounts of screen time begin as early as infancy, NIH study suggests

November 25, 2019

BETHESDA, Maryland, Nov. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Children’s average daily time spent watching television or using a computer or mobile device increased from 53 minutes at age 12 months to more than 150 minutes at 3 years, according to an analysis by researchers at the National Institutes of Health, the University at Albany and the New York University Langone Medical Center. By age 8, children were more likely to log the highest amount of screen time if they had been in home-based childcare or were born to first-time mothers. The study appears in JAMA Pediatrics.

“Our results indicate that screen habits begin early,” said Edwina Yeung, Ph.D., the study’s senior author and an investigator in the Epidemiology Branch of NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). “This finding suggests that interventions to reduce screen time could have a better chance of success if introduced early.”

NICHD researchers and their colleagues analyzed data from the Upstate KIDS Study, originally undertaken to follow the development of children conceived after infertility treatments and born in New York State from 2008 to 2010. Mothers of nearly 4,000 children who took part in the study responded to questions on their kids’ media habits when they were 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months of age. They also responded to similar questions when the children were 7 and 8 years old. The study compiled additional demographic information on the mothers and children from birth records and other surveys.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends avoiding digital media exposure for children under 18 months of age, introducing children 18 to 24 months of age to screen media slowly, and limiting screen time to an hour a day for children from 2 to 5 years of age. In the current study, researchers found that 87% of the children had screen time exceeding these recommendations. However, while screen time increased throughout toddlerhood, by age 7 and 8, screen time fell to under 1.5 hours per day. The researchers believe this decrease relates to time consumed by school-related activities.

The study authors classified the children into two groups based on how much their average daily screen time increased from age 1 to age 3. The first group, 73% of the total, had the lowest increase, from an average of nearly 51 minutes a day to nearly an hour and 47 minutes a day. The second group, 27% of the total, had the highest increase, from nearly 37 minutes of screen time a day to about 4 hours a day. Higher levels of parental education were associated with lower odds of inclusion in the second group. In addition, girls were slightly less likely to be in the second group, compared to boys, while children of first-time mothers were more likely to be in the high-increase group.

The researchers also classified the children into percentiles based on their total daily screen time. Children were more likely to be in the 10th, or highest, percentile if their parents had only a high school diploma or equivalent (more than twice as likely) or were children of first-time mothers (almost twice as likely). Similarly, compared to single-born children, twins were more likely to belong to the highest screen time group. Compared to children in center-based care, children in home-based care, whether provided by a parent, babysitter or relative, were more than twice as likely to have high screen time.

Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals is a longtime partner of Panda Cares Foundation, the charitable arm of Panda Express, which supports the health and education of underserved children across the nation.

“The holidays are a season where smiles should be abundant, yet there are so many who face hardships during this time of year,” said Dr. Peggy Cherng, Co-CEO at Panda Express. “As a family-owned business founded upon values of love and giving back to the community, we hope to bring fun and laughter to the children and families who need them most, not only now but all year long. The entire Panda family, along with our valued partner Coca-Cola and our guests, has the opportunity to ignite a chain of compassion and giving across the country.”

“The impact Panda Express and Panda Cares make in people’s lives is truly inspiring to us. We share their commitment to helping local communities,” said Katherine Twells, Vice President of Customer Marketing at Coca-Cola North America, “And this holiday season, we’re thrilled to work together to create positive impact for families in need with the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.”

Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals treats one in 10 kids in North America each year, and an astonishing 62 children enter an affiliated hospital for care every minute. The Get a Coke & Give Good Cheer campaign will unite the Panda Bear and the Polar Bear to help sick and injured kids treated at 170 children’s hospitals throughout North America. Each Coca-Cola beverage purchased at Panda Express will contribute to this important cause, meaning guests will help the two industry leaders support up to 10 million young lives by the end of the year.

“Every child treated at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has an amazing team of medical professionals supporting them,” said John Lauck, President and CEO of CMN Hospitals. “And like our hospitals, we have outstanding corporate partners that are committed to bringing hope and happiness to sick and injured children treated in our hospitals each day. We’re thrilled that Panda Express and Coca-Cola are coming together during the holidays to help kids and their families celebrate the season.”

Coca-Cola has been at the heart of holiday celebrations for decades, spreading cheer with the iconic Coca-Cola Santa, Polar Bear and holiday packaging.

Premium Blend’s CEO awarded with the 2019 Distinguished Alumni Award by Stetson University

November 25, 2019

MIAMI, Nov. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — On Saturday, November 9, Gino Santos, Premium Blend’s Founder and CEO, received the 2019 Distinguished Alumni Award from his Alma Mater, Stetson University in DeLand, Florida. Santos won the recognition for his successful career and positive impact on society and the university.

Gino has been a critical part of the institution’s growth by financially supporting not only the University, but also, current and future students that aim to pursue their studies at Stetson but don’t have the financial resources to cover all their educational expenses. Santos established “The Orestes Santos Music Scholarship” awarded to Hispanic students residing in Miami-Dade or Broward counties, who are accepted by the institution and are enrolled as music majors. The scholarship serves as a bridge to cover all of the educational expenses the student may have that are not covered by other financial grants.

“The scholarship is named after my father, Orestes Santos, a famous Cuban songwriter and musician. My father was a man to whom music and art were a way of life, and not of living. This scholarship is to honor him, his career, and his values. Still, it is also a contribution to our Hispanic heritage and an investment in all the future Hispanic music artists that we have in South Florida,” Gino said.

“It is such an honor to receive the Distinguished Alumni Award as recognition for my business career and involvement with the community. This year seven students can attend Stetson because of our scholarship, and knowing that I am supporting them in reaching their goals and dreams makes me feel very proud of what we are doing at Premium Blends,” stated Santos.

For Gino, there is a need to increase the investment in the arts, making sure students that want to pursue a major in music, theater, and other artistic pursuits, have the same opportunities and support as those aiming for a STEM degree. As a successful businessman, Santos recognizes the responsibility he has with future generations and the community.

Premium Blend, Inc. is a company with 30 years in the low-proof liquor business located in Miami, FL. Premium Blend makes it possible for venues with only a wine license to serve cocktails legally. In addition to a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Stetson, Santos holds an MBA from the University of Miami and a Masters in Entrepreneurship from MIT.
