Colgate Challenges People to “Imagine a Day Without Water”

0

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, Colgate and the ambassador for its Save Water initiative Michael Phelps join more than 1,100 organizations across the U.S. for the fifth annual Imagine a Day Without Water. This nationwide day of education and advocacy about the value of water was created by the U.S. Water Alliance and its Value of Water Campaign to raise awareness of the importance of preserving the planet’s most precious resource and the infrastructure that safely provide water to families across the country.

This timely partnership is a continuation of Colgate’s Save Water initiative, which encourages individuals to turn off the tap when brushing their teeth, a behavior change that can save up to the equivalent of 64 glasses of water. Since the Colgate Save Water campaign launched in 2016, more than 300 thousand people have pledged online to turn off the tap while brushing, representing a potential savings equivalent to more than two million gallons of water every day.

In honor of Imagine a Day Without Water, Colgate is asking people think about their daily relationship with water and to, simply, imagine day without it. The program’s global ambassador, world champion swimmer Michael Phelps, is encouraging people to imagine what a day without water would be like for them in an effort to continue to raise awareness and promote behavior change around water habits.

“I’m obviously passionate about water and 2019 marks my third year as global ambassador for Colgate’s Save Water campaign,” says Phelps. “Today, I’m asking all of us to really imagine a day without water and to think about the small ways we can all be more mindful of our water conservation efforts. My wife Nicole and I are teaching our boys how to save water now so that they develop good habits for life. We encourage all families to talk about their water habits and, together, we can create a positive conservation impact today and for the future.”

Hispanics Feel Underrepresented in Beauty/Personal Grooming Advertising, Seek More Product Choices, AARP Report Finds

AARP_Latinos_and_Beauty_Infographic

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Latinos aged 50 and older spend an average of $46 per month on beauty and personal grooming products, nearly double the $25 spent per month by the general 50-plus population. Despite spending nearly $7 billion in annual U.S. sales, 69 percent of Hispanics report feeling that the beauty and personal grooming industry treats people their age as an afterthought, a new AARP survey has found.

The 2019 national survey, Latinos and Beauty as We Age: A Cultural Reflection, reveals that Hispanics aged 50 and over wish images in advertising and the media were more age-inclusive, and they are more favorable of brands that reflect people their age in advertising.  The survey questioned nearly 700 Hispanics age 18 and older in the U.S. as part of a longer-term effort by AARP to shape a new image of aging in advertising, marketing and media.

“Hispanics stay just as involved with beauty and personal grooming as they age, and they want to see themselves at the forefront of product ads, not just as an afterthought,” says Yvette Peña, Vice President, AARP Multicultural Leadership Hispanic/Latino Audiences. “AARP shares these study findings to encourage beauty and personal care brands to be more age-inclusive in their product offerings and advertising.”

Beauty product manufacturers ought to take note. Compared to the 50-plus age cohort in the U.S. general population, Latinos aged 50 and older spend 84% more money and 38% more time and on beauty and personal grooming. Yet an overwhelming majority (88%) of Latina women aged 40 and older want to see more perimenopausal and menopausal beauty and personal grooming products, especially hair and skin care.

These are just a few of the findings uncovered by a new nationwide survey conducted by AARP.

Other key findings about Hispanics 50-plus include:

  • 76% feel older people are under-represented in advertising.
  • 84% say they would be more likely to buy from a brand that features people their age in its ads.
  • 71% feel images portrayed in the media images are ageist.
  • 76% would consider switching to a brand they feel represents their age.
  • 60% look to keep up with trends, versus 24% of the general 50-plus.
  • 61% agree it is fun keeping up with what is current or “cool,” versus 26% of general 50-plus.
  • 57% agree social media has helped them find new beauty routine methods, versus 20% of the general 50-plus.

Aireon - MAKING GLOBAL AIR TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE A POWERFUL REALITY

L.A. DAPA New Research Shows 80% Of City Of Los Angeles Overcrowded With Alcohol Related Businesses

0
LA_DAPA___Graph

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Most L.A. neighborhoods are flooded with bars, clubs and restaurants, raising the alcohol density to troubling levels.

New research, presented by Los Angeles Drug and Alcohol Policy Alliance (L.A. DAPA), at L.A. City Hall today, shows at least 80% of L.A. area census tracts (an area with an average of 4,000 residents) exceed – sometimes by 300 percent or more – the guidelines set by California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC).

Alarmed by the statistics, L.A. DAPA, a collaboration of public health organizations and community members, wants the L.A. City Council to take steps toward a proposal that would allow communities to “say no” to additional alcohol businesses in designated areas.

The Alcohol Restricted Use Subdistrict (ARUS) Ordinance would grant communities already suffering from high crime and alcohol outlet over-concentration the power to protect their neighborhoods from more alcohol businesses, especially in sensitive areas close to schools, parks and churches.

Los Angeles City Council Member David Ryu represents District 4, which has the highest alcohol density out of all the council districts.  “Too many communities in Los Angeles have been saturated with liquor stores and alcohol establishments while losing out on other community resources,” Council Member Ryu said. “Every neighborhood should have the chance to build a vibrant local economy, a safe place to live, and opportunities for children and families. This ordinance will mean that these neighborhoods can say ‘no’ to new alcohol establishments and ‘yes’ to the kind of community that they deserve.”

New Alcohol Outlet Factsheets produced by independent research firm Harder and Company show correlations between alcohol density and crime. The factsheets were developed for the Institute of Public Strategies (IPS), which is a nonprofit that seeks to reduce community level harms related to alcohol and drugs. IPS is a member of L.A. DAPA.

Harder and Company examined LAPD Part 1 and Part 2 crime data from 2015 as well as data from the California ABC and the community alcohol outlet portal, PourSafe, to compare alcohol density with crime rates in each census tract.

The research reveals not only correlations between increase in alcohol density and higher crime rates, the data also shows the reverse. In areas where the alcohol density meets ABC guidelines, the crime rate is at or below average for that area.

According to California Business Code, alcohol licenses should be limited based on a ratio of population per census tract in order to protect public health and safety. However, the new Harder and Company data show all 15 LA City Council Districts have census tracts where alcohol density exceeds ABC guidelines by 300 percent or more.

–CD 4: 70% of census tracts exceed ABC guidelines. Of that 70%, 46% have above average crime rates.
–CD 4: 52% of census tracts severely exceed ABC guidelines. Of that 52%, 61% of census tracts have above average crime rates.
–Conversely, 87% of census tracts in CD4 that meet ABC guidelines have at or below average crime rates.

Despite the connection between crime and high alcohol outlet density, in the City of Los Angeles, over 500 liquor licenses are currently in the approval queue. Every City Council district has numerous licenses in process. So many communities have extreme alcohol outlet density in Los Angeles because the ABC guidelines to protect public health and safety are considered ‘recommendations,’ and therefore not firmly adhered to.

“For far too long the alcohol density problem in Los Angeles has gone unaddressed,” said Mayra Jimenez, Advocacy Manager at Alcohol Justice. “This new data demonstrates both the challenges and pathway to building an environment that accesses public health and safety and acts on it. We trust it will lead the City Council to pass an Alcohol Restricted Use Subdistrict (ARUS) Ordinance to give each community a tool to improve quality of life based on facts.”

Throughout the City of Los Angeles, community groups, organizations and local neighborhood councils have and continue to offer letters and petitions in support of the proposal.

Dr. Randal Henry, CEO of Community Intelligence in South L.A. said, “South Los Angeles (i.e. Council Districts 8, 9 and 10) has the highest percentage of communities that severely exceed ABC guidelines and have above average crime rates. ARUS gives South Los Angeles the option to create zones where no new alcohol licenses can be issued,” said Dr. Henry. “These zones are designed to address areas in South Los Angeles where alcohol density that severely exceeds ABC guidelines is contributing to nuisance activity, public intoxication, crime, violence and deterioration in the general quality of life.”

Linda Gravani, President of the Lake Balboa Neighborhood council said: “Lake Balboa’s residents are all within 1/2 mile of OFF SALE LICENSE establishments (liquor stores, grocery stores and other places where alcohol consumed off site. LBNC does not see it as an asset for any additional OFF SALE businesses regardless of ABC Census parameters. In addition, current licensees will lose business with the additional competition. More OFF SALE Licenses presents no advantage to the community.”

“We work closely with communities, and we know in some areas they’re worried about more alcohol. ARUS could be a solution,” said Sarah Blanch, Co-Chair of L.A. DAPA. “The motion before PLUM is only an interim step – seeing if ARUS zones could make sense to protect public  health and safety in Los Angeles.”

L.A. DAPA releases new data at L.A. City Hall 10/22/19

Community members and members of L.A. DAPA plan to go to PLUM meetings to speak in public comment about the value of ARUS, as well as to meet with individual Council Offices to garner support, over the next two months. The ARUS Motion, which requests a report back from the L.A. Department of City Planning on the feasibility of ARUS zones, expires on January 31, 2020.

Banda MS joins a campaign to halt the stigma of HIV among Latinos

Hispanic_Communication

WASHINGTON, October 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In order to help stop a public health problem that is disproportionately affecting the Latin community in the United States, Banda MS, together with the Pinyon Foundation and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), launched a new edition of their successful campaign in Spanish to fight the stigma of HIV and to encourage the community to work together to help those with HIV obtain the health resources they need to live a healthier life.

The multimedia campaign “Detén el estigma del VIH“ [Stop the stigma of HIV], whose national distribution through the Hispanic Communications Network – La Red Hispana is from October 7 to 27, as well as on its digital platforms and social networks, focuses on practical recommendations for identifying the language that deepens negative stigmas and discrimination due to HIV, offering ideas about how to better support people who are living with HIV.

As part of the new edition of this campaign, the CDC developed a useful guide on “lenguaje estigmatizante“ [stigmatizing language] to be able to speak openly about HIV and the stigma, in order to empower those living with HIV. When one talks about HIV, certain words might have a negative meaning for people at high risk of contracting HIV, or those who already have it. The guide contains practical advice about choosing appropriate language that is supportive and not stigmatizing when the matter is discussed.

The campaign also highlights the role of each person in stopping the stigma of HIV, and the voice of people living with HIV, as well as their family and friends. Campaign participants share their stories and encourage everyone to work together to stop HIV.

“There is a negative stigma and incorrect negative beliefs about people living with HIV, and as a community it is our responsibility to help so that we can all live healthier lives,” said Oswaldo Silvas, the spokesman for Banda MS, in one of the campaign’s videos.

The campaign “Detén el estigma del VIH” includes distribution of Public Service Announcements through the network of broadcasters affiliated with La Red Hispana, as well as interviews with leaders of organizations that are in the fight against AIDS, digital multimedia resources on the web page of La Red Hispana, as well as messages on digital platforms and social networks: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and on its flagship programs such as Bienvenidos a América, la Dra. Isabel, En Privado, con el Dr. Eduardo López-Navarro and Encendío con Pedro Biaggi, among others.

Lustro Hair: Buy it. Feel it. Love it. (PRNewsfoto/Lustro Hair)

“Our HD wig provides unique advantages over other wig brands’ products,” Dr. Lucas Lu, CEO of Lustro Hair, said. “This is due to the lace’s invisibility, great breathability, ease of installation, zero shedding and optimal wearing experience.”

Lustro’s HD lace is very thin and ventilated, which means it lays flat against your skin to mimic your real scalp. It is genuine Swiss lace and made of royal lace material, giving it a lighter, softer and more delicate feel, while appearing more transparent than normal lace. This, in turn, makes it indistinguishable from the skin, more perfectly aligned to make the hairline invisible.

“With this new product line, we’re giving the wearer a luxurious wig experience,” Jasmine Worlds, Lustro’s lead brand ambassador, said. “I have tried out the new products personally, and the best part about them is that the lace prevents obvious knots.”

The HD lace line boasts the following product benefits:

  • Superb breathability, comfortability, and sustainability
  • Easy installation
  • Suitability for a variety of styling
  • Pure Swiss lace

Meanwhile, the new hand-tied bundle features:

  • Manually hand-tied micro weft
  • Thinner yet stronger, with perfectly soft texture

With the development of these new products, Lustro Hair is continuing to demonstrate its commitment to leadership in the human hair production space. The company also is advancing its plans to improve wig-making technology.
