AHAA Establishes Hall of Fame With New Inductees

June 5, 2017

FAIRFAX, Va., June 2, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Since 1999, AHAA has honored those that have made significant contributions to the U.S. Hispanic advertising and marketing industry. Expanding on this program, AHAA has established the AHAA Hall Fame, which recognizes a select group of visionaries, leaders and luminaries who have made significant contributions to the development and advancement of the Hispanic advertising and marketing field. In addition to previous Eduardo Caballero Lifetime Achievement winners, Hispanic advertising giants Pedro Font and Carlos Montemayor; academia and research legend Dr. Felipe Korzenny; and media pioneer Raul Toraño will be inducted during an awards gala at the 2017 AHAA Annual Conference taking place on Wednesday, June 13 at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago.

“Each of these men played an extraordinary role in the conceptualization, building and development of the Hispanic marketing and advertising field – our industry is the multibillion dollar business it is because of them,” said AHAA Chair Linda Gonzalez.

Thanks to a generous three-year sponsorship by State Farm, AHAA will create a digital repository of videos and images that chronicles the Hispanic marketing industry, featuring images and videos of these and all Hall of Fame inductees.

Pedro Font
Pedro was a major force in making the Hispanic market, and multicultural marketing, into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Along with Joseph Vaamonde, he opened Font & Vaamonde Advertising in 1979, which was then sold to Grey Advertising Inc. in 1987. Font led efforts to encourage America’s consumer-product giants to supplement their advertising campaigns for the general market with broadcast commercials, print advertisements and other sales pitches aimed more specifically at Hispanic consumers. Once those advertisers realized just how quickly the Hispanic population was growing, they enthusiastically began augmenting mainstream campaigns with tailored messages. Since leaving the agency he has served as CEO of Global Media Distribution, a business responsible for selling Televisa’s content and other companies’ films distribution rights all over the world.

Dr. Felipe Korzenny
Felipe is the Professor Emeritus of Advertising and Integrated Marketing Communication, and Founder and Director Emeritus of the Center for Hispanic Marketing Communication at Florida State University. He currently independently consults with major US corporations on their Hispanic marketing strategies, and speaks to them about approaches to better connect with Hispanic Consumers. He is well known in industry for the consumer experience insights he has helped generate to position successful products in the U.S. Hispanic market and in Latin America. A social scientist by training, Felipe has a critical academic perspective combined with a strong business practice. He holds an M.A. and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University in Communication Research and has published six books and almost a hundred research publications dealing with communication and culture.

Carlos Montemayor
Carlos is nationally recognized as one of the founders of the Hispanic Advertising Industry in the U.S. Carlos proudly served in the U.S. Army as a second lieutenant. A graduate of the University of Texas with an MBA from Northwestern University, Carlos worked for Ross Roy and Campbell-Ewald Advertising Agencies specializing in automotive accounts. When Carlos returned from Detroit to San Antonio, he became the national marketing director for Church’s Fried Chicken and eventually founded Montemayor y Asociados. The agency grew with the acquisition of major accounts, such as Pepsi, Chrysler and Continental Airlines, to mention a few. Nationally, the agency became the sixth largest Hispanic agency in the country. After merging with GlobalHue, Carlos became vice-chairman and in January 2006, after retiring from GlobalHue, he became vice president for strategic development for Rumbo Newspapers, a Texas chain of Hispanic language newspapers. Carlos passed away in September 2006.

Raul “Ruly” Toraño
Raul is considered by many to be the godfather of Spanish-language television. A Cuban immigrant, Raul launched a successful career in television advertising & marketing in the 1960’s that spanned four decades. A pioneer in his field, Raul was a driving force in raising awareness among Fortune 500 companies on the need to allocate a greater percentage of their advertising budget to the growing U.S. Hispanic population. He began his career working at the Spanish Advertising and Marketing Services in New York City with the Diaz-Albertini brothers. In 1984, he joined Spanish International Network (SIN), the first non- English-language television network in the United States, which was later renamed to Univision Network in 1987. During the 1990’s, he held various executive positions in the sales and marketing departments at Univision culminating with his being named President of Network Sales. He held this position until his retirement in 1997. Raul served as chairman of the board of Little Havana Activities & Nutrition Centers of Dade County Inc., a non-profit organization that provides social services to economically disadvantaged seniors in the South Florida area, and was also an active member of the Cuban American National Foundation. Raul passed away in May 2010.

In addition, past winners of the Eduardo Caballero Lifetime Achievement Award will automatically be inducted to the AHAA Hall of Fame:

Memory Care Program for Alzheimer’s and Dementia Opens New Wing

June 5, 2017

MIAMI, June 5, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In response to a rapidly growing local Alzheimer’s and dementia population, Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon (RPBL) operated by the not-for-profit Assistance to the Elderly (ATTE), today announced the opening of a new wing of its Memory Care Program, the first of its kind in the state of Florida using the Montessori method to service Alzheimer’s and dementia residents.

The Memory Care Program encompasses 16,000 square feet of full-time living and activity space for the care of 38 current full-time residents, with only 14 more slots available for interested incoming tenants.

“The program’s early results have been impressive, we have been able to witness many of the residents flourish in their new environment with this kind of specialized care,” said Barbara Galindo, Administrator for Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon. “But we depend on the generosity of the community to continue to expand for the growing number of affected families who so dearly need these affordable facilities.”

Resident engagement has increased by 65% since the start of this Montessori-based program eight months ago, which involves a non-pharmacological approach that aims to reduce anxiety and engage the senses in order to help patients rediscover the world around them.

Housed on the penthouse floors of Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon, located at 5617 N.W. 7 Street, the Memory Care Program has beautiful, unobstructed views of Miami. The residents enjoy spacious rooms, communal sitting areas, safe access to outdoor spaces with plants, separate dining areas, and a home-like kitchen. All of the spaces in the program were designed with great attention to detail to improve cognitive abilities – from paint color to lighting specifications – and there are Montessori-trained staff and certified nursing assistants on the floor around-the-clock to provide the best care possible.

Specially-designed “stations” are located throughout the floors for residents to engage in activities without assistance. For example, a music station adorned with old-school records has instruments that they can pick up and play. A fashion station is popular among the women, who are able to borrow purses and try on hats in an area filled with posters of models from past decades.

To inquire about placement for a loved one families are welcomed to call Admissions at 305.267.2700 ext. 210. Tax-deductible contributions can be made by visiting residentialplaza.com/donate. The fundraising goal for their next phase of construction is $400,000.

Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon
Residential Plaza at Blue Lagoon (RPBL) is a non-profit assisted living facility powered by Assistance to the Elderly, Inc, a 501(c)(3) organization providing exceptional care for South Florida’s adult population since 1990. As the largest licensed assisted living facility in the nation, Residential Plaza’s mission is to provide a home that allows elders to live in a safe, caring, and supportive environment while maintaining their dignity, independence, and purpose.

FDA Investigates Findings of Hepatitis A Linked to Frozen Tuna

June 4, 2017

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) logo

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, June 2, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are assisting state and local officials in assessing the risk of hepatitis A virus exposure from contaminated frozen tuna sourced from Sustainable Seafood Company, Vietnam, and Santa Cruz Seafood Inc., Philippines.

Learn more at:
https://www.fda.gov/Food/RecallsOutbreaksEmergencies/Outbreaks/ucm561199.htm

On May 18, Hilo Fish Company began recalling tuna sourced from Sustainable Seafood Company and Santa Cruz Seafood, Inc. that tested positive for the hepatitis A virus. The current recall resulted from follow-up after the Hawaii Department of Health notified the FDA of a frozen tuna sample, sourced from PT Deho Canning Co., which tested positive for hepatitis A on May 1, 2017. The initially recalled product has been removed from circulation and the newly recalled frozen tuna lots were not shipped to Hawaii, but were shipped to the mainland U.S.

The CDC is not currently aware of any illnesses linked to these products, however it is advising post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for unvaccinated persons who may have consumed the potentially contaminated tuna within the past two weeks.

The FDA is providing a list of establishments in TX, OK, and CA that may currently have potentially contaminated tuna in commerce to help alert consumers that may be at risk of the hepatitis A virus. Contact your health care professional if you believe you have been exposed to contaminated tuna.

Contact your healthcare professional if you think you may have become ill from eating tuna, or if you believe that you have eaten any of the recalled frozen tuna within the last two weeks. The FDA encourages consumers with questions about food safety to call 1-888-SAFEFOOD Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Eastern time, or to consult http://www.fda.gov.

Honda Sweeps Opening Race in Detroit

June 4, 2017

Graham Rahal led a Honda 1-2-3 sweep in Saturday's opening race of the IndyCar Series doubleheader race weekend in Detroit

DETROIT, June 3, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Starting from the pole, Graham Rahal dominated Saturday’s opening Verizon IndyCar Series race of a double header weekend in Detroit, leading virtually from flag-to-flag and spearheading a 1-2-3 Honda sweep at the Belle Isle Park temporary street circuit.

Rahal drove a flawless race – leading 55 of 70 laps, making his Rahal Letterman Lanigan team’s two-stop pit strategy work perfectly and beating fellow Honda driver Scott Dixon to the checkered flag by six seconds in the first of the annual doubleheader at Belle Isle.

With the win, Rahal scored his first IndyCar victory since Texas, in August of last season, and joined his father, team co-owner Bobby Rahal, as a Detroit winner. The senior Rahal won here in 1992.

Dixon, less than a week removed from his massive crash during the Indianapolis 500, overcame pain from a left ankle injury sustained in the accident to finish second. Dixon started sixth and, like Rahal, matched a two-stop strategy and superior pace to take over the drivers’ championship points lead heading into Sunday’s second race of the weekend.

Despite an opening-lap spin, James Hinchcliffe also had the pace to make a three-stop strategy work well, recovering from that early drama to finish third for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports and completing the podium sweep for Honda.

Behind the lead trio, Alexander Rossi took the checkers in fifth for Andretti Autosports, with Mikhail Aleshin completing a positive day for Schmidt Peterson with a sixth-place result. Indy 500 winner Takuma Sato completed today’s 70-lap race in eighth, just ahead of top rookie finisher, Ed Jones, in ninth with his Dale Coyne Racing Honda.

Video recaps from this weekend’s Honda racing activities in Detroit, including today’s Indy car and IMSA sports car races, are being posted on the “Honda Racing/HPD” YouTube channel. Produced by the Carolinas Production Group, the video packages can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/HondaRacingHPDTV.

IndyCar Series teams and drivers now prepare for the second race in this doubleheader weekend, with qualifying for Sunday’s 70-lap race at 10:45 a.m. EDT, and live ABC television race coverage beginning at 3:30 p.m. EDT.

Graham Rahal (#15 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Honda) started 1^st, finished 1^st: “Winning feels awesome. Everything went according to plan today. You know, I said yesterday, one of my comments was that I felt if I could qualify up front I could dominate this race, and I got a lot of heat from the other drivers for that comment, but I think we did it. I don’t say things unless I believe them, and today this car, the United Rentals, TurnsForTroops.com Honda, we raised a lot of money to help our vets. But man, I can’t tell you how good it feels. I mean it’s Day One of two. We’ve got [a second race] tomorrow to do, but trust me, today feels extremely rewarding.”

Scott Dixon (#9 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda) started 6^th, finished 2^nd, his fourth podium finish in 2017: “It was a tough race, no matter what. Physically, for me it was tougher than normal [due to his ankle injured at Indianapolis]. I think I was favoring a lot of things, but I’m just so proud of the whole Camping World crew. They did an amazing job; the car was fast. I probably couldn’t get the most out of it but we were kind of there. It’s great for [the championship] points. I’m definitely going to go back to my [motorhome] and put my foot in a big bucket of ice, and see if I can cool it off. Hopefully, we’ll get some good rest tonight, as obviously qualifying tomorrow is going to be key for the race [on Sunday]. So we’ve got to come out blazing. We’ve definitely got to improve the car; it’s not perfect right now.”

James Hinchcliffe (#5 Schmidt Peterson Motorsports Honda) started 5^th, finished 3^rd: “Tires are the name of the game here. To be able to get off the [softer, alternative] reds after the spin in the first turn there, played to our advantage. And then we got that yellow at the right time, right after our pit stop. It put us up where we belonged and I think we showed that the No. 5 Arrow car had a lot of pace. To come back from that – the boys were great in the pits and we’re really happy to grab a podium here today.”

Art St. Cyr (President, Honda Performance Development) on today’s race: “After a thrilling victory last Sunday in the 101^st running of the Indianapolis 500, it’s great to see the momentum continuing with a terrific day here in Detroit, both our sweep in the first IndyCar race of the weekend, and our first IMSA GTD victory with the Acura NSX GT3. Congratulations to Graham for a dominant performance from start to finish, to Scott Dixon who showed determination of a true champion in his second-place run, and to James Hinchcliffe’s perseverance to recover from his Lap 1 spin and round out the podium for Honda. Now, we get to do it again tomorrow, and hopefully score similar results.”

Armenia commits to significantly boosting foreign direct investments

June 2, 2017

MONTREAL, June 2, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Arton Capital has been appointed to study and evaluate Armenia’s potential to develop and market an immigrant investor program, following an invitation from the International Centre for Migration Policy Development. The ICMPD seeks to promote innovative and sustainable migration policies around the world. The initiative comes as a series of steps undertaken by the EU-funded project entitled Support to Migration and Border Management.

In a series of meetings held in Yerevan this week, Arton’s team of experts had the chance to delve into the local political economy as well as the existing legal frameworks relating to visa and residency issuance, naturalization, and laws regarding foreigners.

The concept of citizenship by investment was embraced by high level officials at the Ministry of Economic Development and Investments, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Presidential Administration, the Central Bank, the Police, the State Migration Service and the Center for Strategic Initiatives.

The government of Armenia shared its strong belief that alternative means of attracting foreign direct investment are of primary importance for the country’s economic development and future growth. For their part, the experts from Arton Capital shared their view that Armenia has the potential to position itself as a unique investment destination for high net worth individuals from the Middle East and Asia.

Arton Capital has been tasked with producing a detailed report that will evaluate the existing infrastructure, outline the best ways to structure an attractive and sustainable program in accordance with EU laws, and implement industry-leading due diligence practices.

Many countries in Europe, North America and the Caribbean have implemented citizenship and residency programs in the past 20 years, and they have attracted billions in investments. Many more are considering the implementation of such programs as a highly effective means of boosting foreign direct investment.

“The direction chosen by Armenia is shared by many others,” says Armand Arton, founder and president of Arton Capital. “As a proud Armenian, I am honored to offer my years of professional experience and acute know-how to help the country meet its foreign direct investment goals.”

In support of its philanthropic commitment, Arton Capital has pledged to donate the consulting fees awarded by the contract to help refugees in Armenia. More than 20,000 Syrians, many of whom are ethnically Armenian, have found refuge in Armenia since the Syrian war began in 2011.
