DENVER, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder (40–0, 39 KOs) will defend his title against lineal champion Tyson Fury (27-0, 19 KOs) in a blockbuster matchup on Saturday, December 1. Boxing fans will want to catch all the action, larger-than-life on the big screen, at their local cinemas as these undefeated warriors battle it out LIVE from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles. 

Fathom Events

Tickets for “Wilder vs Fury” can be purchased online by visiting www.FathomEvents.com or at participating theater box offices.

The live broadcast of “Wilder vs Fury,” presented by SHOWTIME PPV and Fathom Events, is set for Saturday, December 1 at 9 p.m. ET/ 8 p.m. CT/ 7 p.m. MT/ 6 p.m. PT/ 5 p.m. AK/ 4 p.m. HI. Fans throughout the U.S. will be able to enjoy the event in more than 400 select movie theaters through Fathom’s Digital Broadcast Network (DBN). A complete list of theater locations is available on the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).

“Wilder vs Fury” tests the raw power of Wilder against the unmatched size and mobility of Fury. America’s only heavyweight champion since 2007, former Olympian Wilder has won by knockout in all seven of his WBC title defenses. Fury, the “Gypsy King,” is a former IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight world champion who currently holds boxing’s coveted lineal heavyweight title. 

The evenly matched showdown of top-ranked heavyweights pits boxing’s two largest champions against each other in the most significant heavyweight fight in the United States since Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson in 2002. In addition to physical stature – Wilder is 6-foot-7, Fury 6-foot-9 – both are among boxing’s greatest showmen, with outsized personalities and heavyweight charisma. 

“The fight world has been waiting for an epic heavyweight battle like this for more than 10 years,” said Ray Nutt, Fathom Events CEO. “We are proud to partner with Showtime to give fight fans the opportunity to view, right from their local cinemas, what is certain to be an awesome spectacle.”

Designer Judith Cabrera was awarded a grant on behalf of Goya for the most creative design; an evening gown embroidered with a variety of colorful Goya beans.  The grant will go towards her tuition to complete her studies in fashion design. In addition, 13 of the designs were brought to life and showcased during Funkshion Fashion Week in Miami Beach and PAMM on Saturday, November 10th.

“We could not be happier to have the ability to support these students on their journey to become Fashion Designers and doing it in such a creative manner; using Goya products was particularly interesting for us,” said Cynthia Chipi, marketing director of Goya Foods of Florida. “We are grateful to Funkshion for their passion to shine a light on innovative creations that allow designers to express their talent and culture.”

Funkshion is a company that specializes in innovative fashion show production from idealization and conception to production and execution.

“It was such a great opportunity for the students to work with Goya.  This challenge made them look at design in such a different way,” said Charlene Parsons, Director of the Fashion Department at Miami International University of Art & Design.  “They used Goya beans as beads and the wrappers as embellishments.  This is something they can do to think out of the box and take design to a different level.   To design is to think of how their creation is going to be displayed by a model down the runway.”

On November 10th, following the Funkshion Fashion Show, the 13 designs were showcased in a one-of-a-kind activation at PAMM.

“Miami is a city full of young artistic talent. We were honored to display this wonderful activation that showcases what our city is known and loved for: fashion, art, culture, and of course, food,” said Jaime Bayo, PAMM’s Director of Corporate Relations.

Newest Prediabetes Awareness Campaign by Nation’s Medical Authorities Spreads the Word: 1 in 3 Americans Has Prediabetes, Learn Your Risk

On World Diabetes Day 2018, the American Medical Association (AMA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Ad Council continue the fight against type 2 diabetes

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A successful initiative that has already helped more than two million Americans learn their risk of developing type 2 diabetes, the “Do I Have Prediabetes” campaign is back with motivational messages that underscore how common prediabetes is among American adults. Launching today on World Diabetes Day, the newly updated campaign uses humorous scenarios to show viewers the many people in their lives who may have prediabetes and urges them to take an easy online risk test to find out where they stand.

Prediabetes is a serious condition that often leads to type 2 diabetes and other significant health problems, such as heart disease and stroke. More than 1 in 3 Americans has prediabetes, and about 30 million Americans currently have diabetes – with the number of adults diagnosed with diabetes more than tripling in the past 20 years. Despite the prevalence of prediabetes, nearly 90 percent of people with the condition don’t know they have it.

Raising awareness and early diagnosis are critical. Research shows that people who are aware of their condition are more likely to make the necessary long-term lifestyle changes that can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

“Prediabetes can often be reversed, and type 2 diabetes prevented, by losing weight, eating healthier, and being more physically active,” said Ann Albright, PhD, RD, director of CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation.  “Men and women with prediabetes can cut their risk when they participate in a CDC-recognized National Diabetes Prevention Program, scientifically proven programs to help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.”

The public service advertising (PSA) campaign which aims to raise awareness that 1 in 3 Americans has prediabetes was developed with pro bono support by Ogilvy & Mather New York for the Ad Council. Humorous scenarios show the viewer, the person in their own life who may have prediabetes – “it could be you, your boss, or your boss’ boss.” Viewers are then encouraged to visit DoIHavePrediabetes.org where they can take a one-minute risk test to know where they stand. If someone receives a high score, the campaign directs them to speak with their doctor to first confirm a diagnosis of prediabetes, then enroll in a CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program to help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

“Our goal with this campaign is to help more of the 84 million Americans living with prediabetes find out whether they have prediabetes and urge them to talk with their physician as soon as they find out they may be at risk,” said AMA President Barbara L. McAneny, M.D. “We encourage anyone who learns through the test that they may be at risk for prediabetes to consult their doctor to confirm a prediabetes diagnosis and find out how lifestyle changes can help them prevent type 2 diabetes.”

The campaign website DoIHavePrediabetes.org also features lifestyle tips and links to CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program, which connects visitors to a registry of more than 1,700 in-person and online CDC-recognized programs across the country. Consistent with the Ad Council’s model, all media will run entirely in donated time and space.

“To visualize the statistic that 1 in 3 American adults has prediabetes, each scene features you and two other people in your life. If it isn’t you who has prediabetes, it might be one of them. The only way to know and try to reverse it is to get tested,” said Mike Hahn, Executive Creative Director at Ogilvy. “We enlisted the director duo Terri Timely and photographer Chris Buck to bring these relationships to life, and to make each group of three progressively more surprising.”

“Every phase of our type 2 diabetes awareness work has been an innovative combination of humor and information, and this latest round is no different,” said Lisa Sherman, President and CEO of the Ad Council. “This year’s ‘1 in 3’ concept is instantly relatable, and we think it will drive even more Americans to take the risk test and learn where they stand.”

The AMA and CDC are also working with their local offices, affiliates and partners to promote and activate the campaign in their communities, with evidence-based materials to aid physicians and other health care providers in the screening, diagnosis and treatment process. Since its launch in January 2016, the award-winning campaign has led to a 30 percent increase in national awareness of prediabetes, and more than 2.2 million people have learned their risk for prediabetes through the online risk assessment and risk test videos.

With El Niño Winter Predicted, Allstate Celebrates 200 Safest Cities to Drive in Rain or Snow

NORTHBROOK, Illinois, Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Four of the country’s top 10 safest cities for driving in wet weather are in Texas, according to the 2018 Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report®i. With large swaths of the Southern United States in store for a wetter-than-average winter, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationii, those rankings could be put to the test during the holiday travel season and beyond.

This second installment of the 2018 America’s Best Drivers Report, announced today, ranks the country’s largest 200 cities to determine which have the safest drivers when precipitation is part of the equation. This year’s top spot goes to Brownsville, Texas, reclaiming the honor from two years ago after dropping to second last year.

“You may be surprised to know that even in warmer climates, winter weather can create dangerous driving conditions, making it more important than ever to be vigilant behind the wheel and aware of how rain and snow can impact roads,” said Ken Rosen, Allstate’s chief claims officer. “Allstate releases the America’s Best Drivers Report each year to draw attention to the critical community issue of safe driving. By celebrating the safest driving cities and lending a hand in bottom-ranked cities, we want to help Americans protect themselves before they get on the roads this holiday season – and ultimately help save lives.”

These precipitation rankings are an extension of the standard America’s Best Drivers Report, released in August. To determine the precipitation factor, Allstate researchers use a predictive model that standardizes the rankings to account for the fact that weather conditions vary dramatically across the United States and affect roadway safety. Allstate is recognizing the top-performing cities in rain or snow and offering tips to help people across the country drive safely.

The top 10 safest-driving cities when precipitation is factored with collision frequency:

“NOAA’s annual winter weather outlook helps Americans to prepare for the possible dangers of the season and take precautions with their families and homes,” said Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. “A weak El Niño is anticipated to develop, and it may impact the winter season by bringing wetter conditions across parts of the southern United States, and warmer, drier conditions in parts of the North.”

It’s even more important to give yourself enough time to stop when roads are wet. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, braking distance on wet roads increases 27 percent versus stopping on dry roads when traveling at 55 mphiv – and that number increases when rain turns to snow or ice. Drivers can prepare for winter weather conditions by monitoring their driving with innovative telematics programs like Allstate’s Drivewise®, which Allstate uses to study the correlation between collisions and hard-braking events. Hard-braking events are defined as slowing down by 8 mph or more per second and can indicate unsafe driving behaviors, such as following too closely, or aggressive or distracted driving.

Here are other safety tips to help prevent a collision this holiday travel season and beyond:

  • Do a systems check: Make sure your headlights and brake lights work, and check tires, heater, defroster, brakes, windshield wipers and windshield washer fluid level.
  • Use an alternate route: Don’t drive through standing water on roads or in parking lots – it can stall your engine.
  • Take it easy: Give yourself extra time to get where you’re going. Increasing following distance, traveling at slower speeds and accounting for extra stopping time will help avoid collisions.
  • Stay alert: Give the road your undivided attention. That’s especially important with slick streets and other potentially dangerous conditions.
  • Don’t panic: If your vehicle begins to slide or skid, don’t slam on the brakes. Look down the road in the direction you want to go and gently steer that way. Release the accelerator until traction returns.
  • Have an emergency kit: Gloves, boots, blankets, flares, water, jumper cables, a flashlight and something for traction – like sand or cat litter – could all come in handy if a problem arises.
  • Download Drivewise: Free to any consumer, Drivewise provides personalized, real-time driving feedback – such as how many hard-braking events you have – and allows you to earn rewards for safe driving.

In the 14th year of the America’s Best Drivers Report, Allstate is bringing attention to the critical community issue of safe driving in a new way. Allstate is encouraging youth to flip the script and take charge of this important conversation by advocating for safe driving among their parents, role models and friends.

iThe Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report® is the result of an in-depth examination of company claims data to determine the likelihood that drivers in America’s 200 largest cities will experience a vehicle collision compared to the national average. According to Allstate claims data, the average driver in the U.S. will experience one collision every 10 years. This year, Allstate researchers analyzed property damage claims reported during the two-year period of January 2015 to December 2016. The report uses U.S. Census Bureau data to determine America’s 200 largest cities and defines a collision as any auto crash resulting in a property damage claim. Hard-braking data is based on customers voluntarily enrolled in Allstate’s Drivewise® telematics program from 2015-2016. A number of cities, and their surrounding suburbs, in the full 200 Best Drivers’ rankings are excluded from hard-braking analysis due to limited measurable Drivewise data, or because Drivewise was not available (California, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas). Allstate’s auto policies represent nearly 10 percent of all U.S. auto policies, making this report a realistic snapshot of what’s happening on America’s roadways. The Allstate America’s Best Drivers Report® is produced solely to boost the country’s discussion about safe driving and to increase awareness of the importance of being safe and attentive behind the wheel. The report is not used to determine auto insurance rates.

iiNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Winter Outlook favors warmer temperatures for much of U.S.

iii National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Data Tools: 1981-2010 Normals. The method used for all cities is to utilize the weather data from the station closest to the city center.

ivNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Safety in Numbers Newsletter: August 2015.
