Beat the Crowds and Stick to Your Travel Budget This Summer

May 16, 2019

MIAMI, May 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — One of the biggest drawbacks of summer vacation travel is quite simply, dealing with too many other tourists. You want to have an epic summer getaway but you don’t want it to rival a trip to a theme park during peak season. With that in mind, Skyscanner.com, the global travel search engine, identified the busiest travel destinations during the summer months and curated great alternative, “underrated” destinations that give you all the flair without the flock, and are budget friendly too!

Skyscanner collated and analyzed data from its more than 60 million monthly users – both historic data as well as current search and booking trends for the upcoming summer season – to pinpoint the most popular destinations during June, July and August and worthy alternatives that won’t not only break the bank, but help travelers avoid the typical summer tourist traps. The result was a medley of domestic and international destinations that are not only unexpected but also under the radar, and let you fulfill your summer travel angst.

Las Vegas, NV vs. New Orleans, LA ($254) – Thanks to Mardi Gras, New Orleans has all the street cred it needs as a party destination. Yet this Louisiana hotspot sees less than a quarter of the visitors of Las Vegas during the summer.
London, England vs. Belfast, Ireland ($616) – During the summer months, London experiences its busiest season. Northern Ireland’s capital city is both beautifully modern and charmingly old school. Attend an open-air concert at the Titanic slipways or visit the museums dedicated to the ship in its birthplace. The Botanical Gardens here are well worth a visit.
New York, NY vs. Austin, TX ($273) – Along with New York’s monumental reputation comes massive crowds, especially in the summer. Austin, Texas on the other hand, is a lot cooler (and weirder) than it’s given credit for – visit the Cathedral of Junk, an underground oasis or checkout pro skee ball leagues in action.
Los Angeles, CA vs. Myrtle Beach, SC ($190) – With immaculate golden sands, the beaches at Myrtle Beach are the city’s main draw. Reminiscent of the Santa Monica Pier, one of the country’s tallest Ferris wheels sits atop the boardwalk of the beach town where more than 100 golf courses are nearby that accommodate skill levels from beginners to lifelong golfers.
Orlando, FL vs. Punta Gorda, FL ($189) – Punta Gorda is home to nearly as many activities and close to the same day-trip destinations as Orlando, but with way fewer people. Just north of Fort Myers, Punta Gorda sits on a beautiful harbor surrounded by state parks, and is home to museums and distilleries.
Paris, France vs. Strasbourg, France ($661) – Strasbourg is known for its adorable old town called “La Petite France” (Little France) built on the banks of winding canals. The towering Strasbourg Cathedral is admired worldwide for its stunningly detailed Gothic architecture.
Denver, CO vs. Moncton, Canada ($465) – Complete with all the outdoorsy vibes you could ever hope for, Moncton features some of the best seafood you can get your hands on. You can visit nearby natural beauties like Blomidon and explore the apple orchards, or watch the tide roll in at the Bay of Fundy.
Cancun, Mexico vs. Puerto Escondido, Mexico ($525) – The waters may look like the typical turquoise of the Caribbean, but this region of Mexico sees significantly fewer visitors than Cancun. At Puerto Escondido’s popular surf beach, Zicatella, you’ll find restaurants with international cuisine. On the other side of town, you’ll find a more laid back and local vibe, where beaches like Carrizillilo and Coral are perfect for swimming, surf lessons or blissful relaxation.
Bangkok, Thailand vs. Siem Riep, Cambodia ($763) – Tourists are often told to only spend a few days in Bangkok – not for lack of things to see and do, but because there’s almost too much. Siem Reap in neighboring Cambodia is much more laidback, and most tourists in Siem Reap are there to see the famous temples of ancient Angkor Wat.
Tokyo, Japan vs. Jeju, South Korea ($868) – Nicknamed “The Hawaii of South Korea,” Jeju has both luxury resorts and secluded natural oases. Hikeable volcanoes and forested national parks provide plenty of opportunity for adventure, as does the eclectic cuisine. The really brave can try the island’s famous live octopus.

The new book by Carlos R. Mota, “The Teacher and the Student”, is a versatile story that reflects the circumstances of a child to achieve a happy life

May 16, 2019

NEW YORK, May 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Carlos R. Mota, Ph.D. A graduate of the University of New York, is an educator, essayist, and researcher, Dr. Carlos R.

May 15, 2019

TAMPA, Fla., May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Fintech, the leading business solutions provider for the beverage alcohol industry, today announced the launch of EZorder with Ker’s WingHouse Bar & Grill, the latest in a long line of revolutionary products built specifically for beverage alcohol retailers.

Statement From Stacey D. Stewart, President And CEO Of March Of Dimes, On New Federal Data Showing More Babies Being Born Too Soon For 4th Year In A Row

May 15, 2019

ARLINGTON, Virginia, May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — March of Dimes released the following statement from President and CEO Stacey D. Stewart regarding the new federal report on 2018 provisional birth data:

More babies were born too soon in 2018 for the fourth year in a row, according to new federal data released today. The health of pregnant women and babies in the U.S. is getting worse. As the leading nonprofit for the health of all moms and babies, March of Dimes is working to reverse this trend through advocacy, research and patient education/support programs to prevent preterm birth.

The National Center for Health Statistics today issued a report of provisional birth data showing that the preterm birth rate rose to 10.02 percent in 2018, up from 9.93 in 2017, marking the fourth consecutive increase after steady declines over the previous decade.

Premature birth (before 37 weeks of pregnancy) and its complications are the largest contributor to death in the first year of life in the United States and worldwide. The increase reported today equates to more than 3,000 additional preterm births.

Our unequal society has negative consequences for health. Persistent inequities in access to quality health care in our country play a role in driving up the preterm birth rate. Black women have a preterm birth rate about 50 percent higher than the rate among white women. The chance of a baby’s survival should not depend on where a baby is born, or the income, race, and ethnicity of her mom. Preterm rates increased for births to women of color: non-Hispanic black women (13.93 percent to 14.12 percent) and Hispanic women (9.62 percent to 9.72 percent) from 2017 to 2018; while the increase in the total preterm rate among births to non-Hispanic white women was not statistically significant.

Better access to care does make a major difference in the health of moms and babies. For example, a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the preterm birth rate declined for black infants in Medicaid expansion states.

Today’s report also shows that the general fertility rate in the U.S. is at a record low. Women under age 35 have lower birth rates, while women in their late 30s and early 40s have higher birth rates than in previous years. Because women in their 30s are more likely than younger women to have health conditions that affect birth outcomes, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, it’s possible that this accounts for some portion (but not all) of the increase in premature birth. Women with these conditions must have quality health care so they are as healthy as they can be before they get pregnant.

How March of Dimes Is Helping

Because there is no single cause of preterm birth, March of Dimes is taking action across the multiple fronts of research, education, advocacy, and programs to give every family the best possible start. To address rising preterm births, we are:

Delivering programs to improve the care that moms and babies receive, including Supportive Pregnancy Care, a model of group prenatal care that can improve the health of moms and babies.
Advancing research at our network of six Prematurity Research Centers to find the unknown causes of preterm birth and develop new ways to prevent it.
Advocating for policies to protect moms and babies, including Medicaid expansion, extension of postpartum coverage to one year, and enhanced reimbursement for group prenatal care.
Empowering families and communities with knowledge and tools to have healthier pregnancies, including health information available at marchofdimes.org and nacersano.org
Supporting moms through every stage of the pregnancy, even when everything doesn’t go according to plan.
Building lifelong connections for moms within a caring and supportive community.

March of Dimes urges all Americans to help. Use your voice to speak up for all moms and babies. Visit actioncenter.marchofdimes.org to join our action network and reach your representatives with messages of support for strong moms and babies. We need thousands of voices to persuade policymakers to pass laws and regulations that promote the health of women, their babies and their families.

“Births: Provisional Data for 2018,” by Brady E. Hamilton et al., was published today by the National Center for Health Statistics, National Vital Statistics System.

March of Dimes leads the fight for the health of all moms and babies. We support research, lead programs and provide education and advocacy so that every baby can have the best possible start. Building on a successful 80-year legacy of impact and innovation, we empower every mom and every family. Visit marchofdimes.org or nacersano.org for more information.
