On Tuesday, May 8th, “Have an Olive Day” debuted in Chicago during an intimate tasting at Landmark West Loop, where Chef José Andrés championed olives with a delicious presentation. Showcasing the wide variety of European table olives, the history of the products, and the infinite ways to enjoy them, Chef José Andrés spread appreciation and knowledge in a menu with exclusive recipes with European olives including paella with Manzanilla stuffed with pimiento and white chocolate lollipops with Hojiblanca, to influential members of Chicago’s media landscape.

“Given Chicago’s inspiring enthusiasm for food, and the exciting position the city holds as one of our nation’s finest culinary headquarters, it’s only natural that our next campaign stop would be Chicago,” said Chef José Andrés. “European olives are in my blood, and I embrace the opportunity to educate U.S. consumers on their versatility and history.”

The United States is the main destination for European olives, and most of the olives consumed in the U.S. (more than 83%) come from Europe.  The U.S. imports more than 299 million pounds of olives each year, estimating in value of over $400 million annually.  An essential element of the Mediterranean diet, olives can be enjoyed whole or in a variety of other forms and recipes.  As the culinary expert, Chef José Andrés connects with consumers and influencers to showcase how special olives are, and how easy – and tasty – it is to incorporate olives into a daily lifestyle.

The ‘Have an Olive Day’ campaign will run through 2019, making stops in various cities across the U.S. with heavy olive consumption including New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Chicago.

WHITE PLAINS, New York, May 9, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A majority of U.S. moms with young children agree that Mother’s Day should be about supporting moms, not just about gifts, according to the results of a new national survey from March of Dimes. The survey, conducted online by The Harris Poll among more than 1,000 moms of children ages 0-5, examined what moms really want, and not just on Mother’s Day, but every day. The results include access to fair, affordable health care, maternity leave policies and working parent benefits.

Flowers and chocolates are nice, but this year March of Dimes asked moms what they need. Some of the key findings include:

  • Most moms (92 percent) agree that Mother’s Day should be about supporting moms, not just about gifts.
  • 90 percent of moms agree that immediate improvement to maternity/parental leave policies is needed and 86 percent say current policies make life harder on new moms and babies.
  • A majority of moms say access to affordable health care (68 percent) and paid maternity leave (66 percent) are among the most important needs for new moms.
  • Across the board, a majority of moms (88 percent) wish that prenatal care was of higher importance to policy makers.
  • Nearly 9 in 10 moms (87 percent) believe that maternal and child health care needs immediate improvement in the U.S. and black moms are most likely to strongly agree with this statement (70 percent black moms* vs. 49 percent white moms; 43 percent Asian moms*).
  • Employed black moms are less likely to believe that their employers are understanding of family needs compared to employed white moms (69 percent* vs. 86 percent, respectively).

*small base size (n<100); results should be interpreted directionally 

March of Dimes and its partners are sparking a national conversation around support and empowerment for mom—for herself, from one mom to another and from loved ones to moms and moms-to-be.

“We need policies, not just flowers,” says John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll and Author of The Athena Doctrine: How Women (and the Men Who Think Like Them) Will Rule the Future. “March of Dimes helps us recognize that we need to understand and support moms with paid maternity leave and by improving prenatal care. That 86 percent of mothers feel current policies make life harder on new moms is a call to action this Mother’s Day.”

“We support moms before, during and after her pregnancy, whether or not things go according to plan,” said Stacey D. Stewart, President of March of Dimes. “This Mother’s Day we are focusing on the would-be moms, those who’ve struggled to become moms, those spending Mother’s Day in the NICU and those who haven’t had an easy journey to motherhood.”

From advocacy to education to research, March of Dimes is working to level the playing field so that all moms and babies are healthy, not just on Mother’s Day, but every day.

This Mother’s Day, Kmart celebrates 35 years supporting March of Dimes in their fight for the health of all moms and babies.

Millennials’ Parents Encouraged Them To Save, Not Invest: PNC Investments Survey

0

PITTSBURGH, May 9, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Now comprising the largest percentage of the workforce, with a new crop of recent graduates about to embark upon their professional careers, millennials report not feeling confident they’re saving enough for the future, according to findings from PNC Investments’ Millennials & Investing Survey.

Equally troubling, more than half of millennials admit they do not have an emergency fund. The survey reveals the generation as a whole is more familiar with saving than investing – the result of the financial lessons their parents imparted on them as children.

According to the survey, millennials agree they learned about saving money at a young age, but did not receive as much guidance from their parents about building wealth through investing.

While almost two-thirds of millennials report that their parents always encouraged them to save money while they were children, only half say their family modeled good money management and even fewer disclose that their parents showed them ways to grow wealth beyond having a job.

“It’s no secret that our attitudes toward money are likely influenced by how much financial education we received as children and the types of role models we have in our immediate family,” said Rich Ramassini, CFP, senior vice president and director of strategy and sales performance for PNC Investments. “However, this survey finds that millennials’ financial education largely skewed toward savings instead of investing. When it comes to building wealth over the long-term, investing is a critical component of a portfolio and one that should not be ignored.”

The survey reports that younger millennials – those who were likely in high school during the 2008-2009 Great Recession – describe their family as having modeled good money management slightly more so than older millennials, who were likely in college or in the workforce during the same time period.

Of the millennials surveyed, 79 percent between the ages of 25-29 say their parents talked to them about managing finances, while 70 percent of millennials between the ages of 30-35 report the same.

“The money mindset that millennials adopted during their childhood could derail their long-term financial goals,” Ramassini added.

About half of millennials say they expect to retire with financial stability, though most admit that they do not have a solid understanding of how to successfully invest their money.

“As this generation matures and acquires more wealth, it’s absolutely critical that they devise a comprehensive financial plan, which consists of an emergency fund, a mix of savings and investing and an intimate understanding of their future goals,” Ramassini said.

PNC is one of the largest diversified financial services institutions in the United States, organized around its customers and communities for strong relationships and local delivery of retail and business banking including a full range of lending products; specialized services for corporations and government entities, including corporate banking, real estate finance and asset-based lending; wealth management and asset management.

Survey Methodology
The Millennials & Investing Survey was commissioned by PNC Investments to identify attitudes and behaviors of millennials. The study was conducted online between Jan. 16-25, 2018 among a cross section of millennials age 21 to 35 with self-reported investable assets of $5,000 or more or those who have a qualified retirement plan (401(k), 403(b)) and at least $1,000 in investable assets. Survey results are balanced in accordance of the US Census population distribution for age and gender to ensure representativeness. No weighting was required.

The survey was designed by Chadwick Martin Bailey, a market research firm specializing in custom research.

Cal/OSHA High Heat Advisory for Employers with Outdoor Workers in Southern California

0

OAKLAND, California, May 8, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Cal/OSHA is issuing a high heat advisory to urge all employers with outdoor workers to prevent heat illness as the weather warms up in parts of Southern California. Temperatures in San Bernardino, Palm Springs, Indio and El Centro are expected to reach over 100 degrees today through Thursday.  

“It is important for employers to check forecasts and monitor the temperatures to prepare for periods of high heat,” said Cal/OSHA Chief Juliann Sum. “That information should be used to closely observe workers for possible heat stress and modify their work schedules as needed.”

California’s heat illness prevention regulation requires employers with outdoor workers to take the following four steps to prevent heat illness:

  • Plan – Develop and implement an effective written heat illness prevention plan that includes emergency response procedures.
  • Training – Train all employees and supervisors on heat illness prevention.
  • Water – Provide drinking water that is fresh, pure, suitably cool and free of charge so that each worker can drink at least 1 quart per hour, and encourage workers to do so.
  • Shade – Provide shade when workers request it or when temperatures exceed 80 degrees. Encourage workers to take a cool-down rest in the shade for at least five minutes. They should not wait until they feel sick to cool down.

Cal/OSHA urges workers experiencing possible overheating to take a preventative cool-down rest in the shade until symptoms are gone. Workers who have existing health problems or medical conditions that reduce tolerance to heat, such as diabetes, need to be extra vigilant. Some high blood pressure and anti-inflammatory medications can also increase a worker’s risk for heat illness. 

In addition to the basic steps outlined by California’s heat illness prevention regulation for employers with outdoor workers, heat at or above 95 degrees Fahrenheit requires employers to take additional precautions. Among other measures, it is crucial that workers are actively monitored for early signs of heat illness and supervisors are effectively trained on the emergency procedures in case a worker does get sick. This helps ensure sick employees receive treatment immediately and that the symptoms do not develop into a serious illness or death.

Cal/OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention special emphasis program, the first of its kind in the nation, includes enforcement of the heat illness prevention regulation as well as multilingual outreach and educational training for California’s employers and workers. Online information on heat illness prevention requirements and training materials are available on Cal/OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention web page and the Water. Rest. Shade. campaign site. A Heat Illness Prevention e-tool is also available on Cal/OSHA’s website.

Cal/OSHA helps protect workers from health and safety hazards on the job in almost every workplace in California. Employers and workers who have questions or need assistance with workplace health and safety programs can call Cal/OSHA’s Consultation Services Branch at 800-963-9424.

Complaints about workplace safety and health hazards can be filed confidentially with Cal/OSHA district offices. Employees with work-related questions or complaints may contact DIR’s Call Center in English or Spanish at 844-LABOR-DIR (844-522-6734).

Members of the press may contact Erika Monterroza or Frank Polizzi at (510) 286-1161, and are encouraged to subscribe to get email alerts on DIR’s press releases or other departmental updates.

Discovery U.S. Hispanic 2017-2018 Upfront

NEW YORK, May 8, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Discovery U.S. Hispanic announced today its 2018-2019 Upfront slate, unveiling Discovery en Español’s compelling new programming lineup and providing a first look at the new Discovery Familia whose signature women and kids programming will now be complemented by the company’s acquisition of Scripps Networks Interactive.

Discovery U.S. Hispanic 2017-2018 Upfront

Discovery U.S. Hispanic’s portfolio of Spanish-language brands will present a programming line-up of real life entertainment genres to nourish its super-fans with the intent of inspiring and informing a growing audience of discerning Latino consumers on their screens of choice.

“Over the past two decades, we’ve become the leader in quality, Spanish-language real-life entertainment by carefully curating our content to the needs and interests of our Latino audience,” said David Tardio, vice president of advertising sales, Discovery U.S. Hispanic. “The newly-added programs and introduction of premium home and food series will not only bring more exciting content to our viewers, but will also open the doors to more innovative opportunities for clients seeking to connect with Hispanic audiences.”

Discovery en Español, which is also celebrating its 20th anniversary, will build on its most popular genres of automotive, adventure, natural history and investigation, as well as expand avenues for marketers to reach Latino consumers on all platforms, including linear, digital, mobile, social and virtual reality media. Some of the notable series and specials include: Clandestino, Mexicánicos Season 6, SPEEDSHOPmx, Los Hines, Profesión peligro, Rugido vivo and Tras la tumba de Anjesenamon.

Discovery Familia will continue to feature programming dedicated to Hispanic women and the things that matter to them, including the kid-favorite Discovery Kids block. It will also premiere popular and successful home renovation and food competition programs such as Fixer Upper, Flip or Flop, House Hunters, Eliminado and Derrota a Bobby Flay, which will air for the first time ever in Spanish-language for our U.S. Hispanic audience. It will also offer original content featuring Latin American personalities, such as Locos X el Asado and Un nuevo espacio.

In addition, the GO apps for both Hispanic networks have gained traction since their launch last year, more than doubling its users and increasing video views by 730 percent. According to Nielsen* both networks have also seen a year-over-year increase in viewership by women ages 25-54, with 27 percent more women watching Discovery en Español and 11 percent more viewing Discovery Familia.  Discovery en Español also retains its #2 non-sports PayTV network rank in prime time for 10 years running.

This upfront season Discovery U.S. Hispanic is creating more branded content opportunities for marketers. As part of its offering, Discovery en Español will present the following titles: Héroes al rescate, featuring Latino first responders, SPEEDSHOPmx, a classic-car customization show and a new season of Desafío x 2, the network’s successful adventure series. Discovery Familia will feature Un nuevo espacio, featuring Latina designers ready to tackle design project while growing their business. In addition, advertisers targeting auto enthusiasts will be able to create branded content through TEN (MotorTrend en Español and Lowrider) and those looking to connect with Latino millennials can do so via Group Nine’s Spanish-language brands El Dodo and NowHola.

 “Discovery U.S. Hispanic is unique in that we are the only real-life entertainment media company to offer advertisers the ability to connect with the full spectrum of Hispanic viewers in English and Spanish,” remarked David Tardio. “This year we’re even better positioned to capture renewed interest from advertisers who have tried unsuccessfully to connect with Hispanic viewers via English-language buys only over the past two years.”
