‘’El Mercado de la Inocencia’’ exposes the sex tourism in Medellin, Colombia, and showcases the story of hundreds of underage girls as they enter into a world of drugs and prostitution.

MIAMI, Oct. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/– The long-gone Medellin Cartel has left a cursed legacy: sex tourism. Discovery en Español takes its cameras deep into Pablo Escobar’s hometown to showcase the business of the continuously expanding criminal networks and the journey of hundreds of minors as they enter a world of drugs and prostitution.  EL MERCADO DE LA INOCENCIA will premiere Sunday, November 5th at 10pm E/P as part of the “Discovery a Fondo” investigative programming block.

‘’El Mercado de la Inocencia’’ exposes the sex tourism in Medellin, Colombia, and showcases the story of hundreds of underage girls as they enter into a world of drugs and prostitution.

Over the last two decades, Medellin has gone from being globally known as a drug traffic and extreme violence destination to becoming a thriving cosmopolitan city. Progress and peace have resulted in an exponential increase of tourism, but have also caused unexpected collateral damage: the rise in sex tourism in this Colombian city. Many of the illegal networks run by foreigners in the United States and Europe, offer Medellin guided tours that include underage prostitutes in their packages available for online purchase.

Narrated and directed by ”Clandestino”’s journalist and researcher David Beriain, EL MERCADO DE LA INOCENCIA is a one-hour documentary that portrays criminal networks and witnesses teenagers entering Medellin’s illegal business as they start a journey that often begins by selling their virginity to the best foreign bidder.

EL MERCADO DE LA INOCENCIA is a Discovery en Español original production headed by Michela Giorelli, Rafael Rodriguez and Carlos Cediel. It was produced by 93 metros.

Spain is the country with more bars per inhabitant in the world, making going out a founding element of Spanish culture. Historically, social relations have been built around bars. Whether between its walls or on its terraces lies the unmistakable gastronomy of tapas. To say Spanish tradition is to say tapas. And to say tapas is to say olives.

Olives have always been known as the Queen of the Tapas. There are plenty of reasons for this reign. Being a preserved food, they are always at their best moment of consumption. With a simple drain and serve, the waiter has the ideal appetizer ready. Having in its flavor notes of the four basic flavors; sweet, salty, bitter and sour, they go well with any type of beverage, well beyond its classic introduction in a dry martini.

A classic in constant evolution

Tapas have undergone an authentic revolution, and are now placed at the top of the gastronomy list without it’s simplicity. With such a growth in popularity, it’s possible today to find tapas bar coast to coast in North America.

Olives are one of the pillars of this transformation. They are still an icon of the bars in their original format, but they are also the protagonists of the new trend that bets on tapas as the new gastronomy. Simple but with incredible presentations to make tapas a must for the 21st century.

www.haveanoliveday.eu makes it available to the foodies of North America the keys to enjoying the tapas of yesterday and today:

Have a Tapas Day… Have an Olive Day.

Everyday People Take Dyslexia Simulation Challenge to Support Learning Disabilities and ADHD Awareness Month

0

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Nearly 1,000 people filled New York City’s Flatiron Plaza on October 20 to experience firsthand what it’s like to live with learning and attention issues, like dyslexia and ADHD. The event, “#BeUnderstood: Make the Invisible Visible,” is part of Understood.org’s #BeUnderstood campaign in support of Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia and ADHD Awareness Month this October. A video of highlights from the event is available here.

Learning and attention issues can be difficult for many to understand. The event, co-hosted by Understood and the Ad Council, invited visitors to interact with simulations and art installations to help them see the challenges that 1 in 5 kids with learning and attention issues face every day.

The event is the latest in an ongoing partnership between the Ad Council and Understood, a program of the National Center for Learning Disabilities. Through the support of the Ad Council, Understood encourages parents to better understand and support children with learning and attention issues. Many people mistakenly believe that children with these challenges are going through a phase or “being lazy.” When these issues go without identification and support, children struggle: students with specific learning disabilities drop out of school at three times the rate of all students.*

“Many kids with learning and attention issues feel misunderstood,” said Mimi Corcoran, president and CEO of the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD). “Learning and attention issues may not be as visible as other issues, but they are just as real, and just as deserving of universal understanding and support.”

“We’re grateful to everyone who took the time to participate in our event and experience the frustrations of life with a learning or attention issue,” said Lisa Sherman, President & CEO of the Ad Council. “Living with these issues can be challenging, but the fantastic resources at Understood.org can help.”

Those who didn’t attend the event can try the simulation online, and share a photo or message of support using hashtag #BeUnderstood.

Throughout October, the #BeUnderstood campaign is supporting awareness for learning and attention issues through a variety of initiatives, including a Facebook profile filter and the release of an inspirational video series featuring celebrity mentors such as Olympian Simone Biles and Lieutenant Governor of California Gavin Newsom. Content in support of the campaign has been shared on social media by WWE, Alyssa Milano and others. The campaign is supported by Understood’s 15 founding nonprofit partners, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Ad Council. For more information, visit Be.Understood.org.

Created by 15 nonprofit partners, Understood.org is a free online resource and community supporting parents of the 1 in 5 kids with learning and attention issues.

Cal/OSHA Reminds Employers with Outdoor Workers to Protect Them from Heat Illness as Temperatures Rise Across Southern California

0

OAKLAND, California, Oct. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Cal/OSHA is reminding all employers to protect their outdoor workers from the risk of heat illness, as temperatures in Southern California will climb into the high 90s today, with forecasts reaching over 100 degrees in some areas over the first half of the week.

“Heat waves can occur well into autumn in California, so it’s important to remind employers of their responsibilities to protect workers from heat-related illness,” said Cal/OSHA Chief Juliann Sum. “Our goal is to prevent illnesses and deaths caused by exposure to heat.”

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 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. This helps ensure sick employees receive treatment immediately and that the symptoms do not develop into a serious illness or death.

Employers must train supervisors and workers on emergency procedures in case a worker does get sick to ensure that the worker receives treatment immediately and serious illness does not develop.

Cal/OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention special emphasis program, the first of its kind in the nation, includes enforcement of heat regulations as well as multilingual outreach and training program 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 Peter Melton or Lucas Brown at (510) 286-1161, and are encouraged to subscribe to get email alerts on DIR’s press releases or other departmental updates.
