Minority Business Development Agency Awards $3.6 Million for Business Development in Indian Country

September 26, 2019

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) announced grant awards totaling $3.6 million to support business development in Indian Country. The investment represents an historic level of 17% of all the MBDA grants awarded this year.

“Under the guidance of President Donald J. Trump, economies are booming across the country,” said Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. “These projects have the potential to further allow Native-owned businesses to build on this unprecedented economic climate and, in turn, create jobs and new opportunities in their communities.”

The diversity among the projects shows strong promise for Native-owned businesses to achieve entrepreneurial growth and global competitiveness. They encompass a range of strategies to address identified needs in Indian Country, including but not limited to access to capital, incubator/accelerators, federal program coaching, public-private partnerships, and broadband. Collectively, the objective is to ensure Tribal entrepreneurs and Tribal businesses are better connected to business opportunities and trained in entrepreneurship, leading to a stronger foundation for economic growth.

“These grants affirm MBDA’s long-standing commitment to economic development in Indian Country,” said Henry Childs II, MBDA National Director. “There are many examples of economic success in Indian Country. This includes areas such as energy, tourism, and gaming. Indigenous communities are a vital part of regional economies but are often disconnected from efforts to promote regional and rural development. This disconnect contributes to disparities in socio-economic outcomes experienced in Indian Country. MBDA’s investments will help link Indigenous communities with regional and rural development efforts,” stated Childs.

The FY 2019 grant recipients are:

Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce
Asian, Inc.
National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development
Native American Development Corporation
Oregon Native American Business Entrepreneurial Network
Regents of New Mexico State University
Rural Community Assistance Corporation
Rural Enterprises of Oklahoma, Inc.
Salish Kootenai College
Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians
Southwest Business Development Consultants, LLC
Spruce Root, Inc.
The TAALA Fund

Funds will be available for a 2-year period, September 2019 – August 2021. All recipients will have access to management and technical assistance from MBDA and its Office of Native American Business Development.

2020 Honda Accord Hybrid Achieves EPA-Rated 48 MPG City and Best-in-Class Horsepower; On Sale Tomorrow

September 26, 2019

Featuring best-in-class horsepower, EPA city and combined fuel economy ratings of 48 mpg, and standard Honda Sensing® technology, the 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid begins arriving in dealer showrooms tomorrow with a starting price of $25,470 (excluding $930 destination and handing), making it the most affordable midsize hybrid sedan in America.

TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Featuring best-in-class horsepower, EPA city and combined fuel economy ratings of 48 mpg¹, and standard Honda Sensing^® technology, the 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid begins arriving in dealer showrooms tomorrow with a starting price of $25,470² (excluding $930 destination and handing), making it the most affordable midsize hybrid sedan in America.

With sales up 70 percent through the end of August, the Ohio-made Accord Hybrid is helping power Honda toward a second consecutive annual record for sales of electrified vehicles in America. The Accord Hybrid is in a tight race with its compact-class cousin, the Honda Insight, to be Honda’s top selling hybrid. Sales of the two hybrid models combined are up 139 percent for the first eight months of the year.

New to the Accord Hybrid for 2020 is an updated Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS) that functions whenever the car is operating on electric power only (unless in Park), enhancing awareness for pedestrians, bicyclists and other road users.

The 2020 Accord Hybrid is powered by the third generation of Honda’s innovative two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain, with an EPA fuel economy rating of 48 mpg in city and combined cycles¹. The two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain joins a 2.0-liter DOHC i-VTEC^® Atkinson-cycle engine with 40-percent thermal efficiency to an electric propulsion motor that churns out 232 lb.-ft. of torque for a class-leading total system output of 212 horsepower. The unique two-motor system operates without the need for a conventional automatic transmission and was named to the 2019 Wards 10 Best Engines list.

The 2020 Accord Hybrid offers midsize sedan shoppers the same combination of performance, refinement, technology, and value as the non-hybrid Accord, a recipe that has made Accord the winner of dozens of awards and accolades since its introduction, including 2018 North American Car of the Year. The 10^th-gen Accord has been called “America’s Best Sedan” by Car and Driver, and Accord is the all-time leader in the magazine’s “10 Best” awards with 33 appearances on the coveted list.

All Honda Accords for the U.S. market are manufactured exclusively at Honda’s Marysville, Ohio, auto plant. The Accord Hybrid’s 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder is manufactured at the company’s Anna, Ohio engine plant, and the two-motor system is assembled at the company’s Raymond, Ohio transmission plant. All are manufactured using domestic and globally-sourced parts.

A healthy and balanced diet like the Mediterranean can be more effective than any heart medication. If we add an active lifestyle to this eating pattern, the chances of suffering from certain heart diseases decrease considerably, as scientific research has shown.

Specifically, the influential Predimed study (Prevention with Mediterranean Diet), conducted in 7,447 Spanish adults with vascular risk factors, has shown that the traditional Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of suffering myocardial heart attack, a cerebral vascular accident or a sudden death in people who have high vascular irrigation, by 30%.

The benefits of the Mediterranean Diet (Intangible Heritage of Humanity) are known throughout the world and the foods that make up this eating habit enjoy great prestige. Among them, the queen of the Mediterranean Diet, the European olive, an antioxidant ingredient, a natural source of vitamin E, stands out for its versatility and offers a world of culinary possibilities through infinity of formats and varieties.

The Education And Safety Campaign That Urges Drivers To Verify If Their Vehicles Have A Recalled Airbag Starts In South Florida

September 26, 2019

MIAMI and FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida, Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The arduous and urgent accident and serious injury prevention campaign that is being carried out nationwide to alert drivers of the more than 50 million recalled Takata airbags arrives in South Florida, which so far have claimed the lives of at least 19 people in the United States and left more than two hundred people injured.

The public safety and education campaign Check Your Vehicles seeks to alert drivers and car owners of different brands, purchased between a period of fifteen years, who may be at risk if they have these factory-recalled airbags. In Dade and Broward counties, according to NHTSA, there are more than 450,000 vehicles with recalled airbags. There are more than 30 affected brands of models between 2000 and 2016.

“The process is as simple as visiting www.checkyourvehicles.com or calling 1-800-813-5359 to check if your car has an airbag recall,” says Marcela Gomez, campaign director. “It is also important to know the car license plate number or the vehicle identification number (VIN) to verify,” she adds. If the data corresponds, the air bags are replaced free of charge by making an appointment with the authorized dealer of your car brand, regardless of where the vehicle was purchased or if it is still under warranty.

Especially in a climate as extreme as that of South Florida, it is important that the community considers that, the sooner they check, the sooner they can avoid an incident of serious consequences. Recalled airbags may simply explode upon contact with excess moisture, heat or due to a minor collision, these airbags may burst throwing metal shrapnel into the vehicle which can cause serious injuries and possibly death.

The campaign includes educational materials in English and Spanish, community events with businesses, chambers of commerce, organizations and churches, all this to help drivers verify if their vehicles are affected.

For more information and to verify if your vehicle is on the airbag recall list, visit www.checkyourvehicles.com or call 1-800-813-5359. If you join the campaign, use these hashtags: #chequeesuvehiculo #checkyourvehicles
