LACNIC 27: Key Debates on the Future of the Internet and IPv6 Deployment in the Region

May 2, 2017

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, May 2, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — LACNIC will be holding its 27^th meeting together with NIC.br on 22-26 May at the Bourbon Cataratas Hotel in Foz do Iguaçu, Brasil. Topics to be presented during the meeting include IPv6 implementation success stories in the LAC region, the final stage of IPv4 exhaustion, progress made by Latin American and Caribbean Internet exchange points, and major threats to cybersecurity.

With more than 700 registered participants from more than 30 Latin American and Caribbean countries, the LACNIC 27 meeting will also address emerging trends in technology and their impact on the future development of the Internet over the next 10 years, as well as women’s participation in Information Technologies with a panel especially devoted to this topic.

One of the critical aspects of the Foz do Iguaçu meeting will be accelerating IPv6 deployment after IPv4 exhaustion at a time when the region has reached an Internet penetration rate of 59.6%. According to the latest information available on 31^st March, the Latin American and Caribbean community has already reached 385 million users, having incorporated 40 million new users over the past year (Internet World Stats, http://www.internetworldstats.com/).

The IPv6 protocol is key not only to foster the development of the Internet of Things throughout the region, but also because it is a vital tool for connecting 40% of Latin Americans who do not yet have access to the Internet. There are 255 million users in this situation and only 4 million IPv4 addresses, so IPv6 is essential for any project aimed at providing access to such communities.

As expected, much of the analysis and discussions in Foz do Iguaçu will focus on IPv6 deployment. The event will also include a panel on successful cases of IPv6 implementation in the region (examples in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay) and the IPv6 Challenge aimed at recognizing projects that have promoted the implementation of version 6 of the IP protocol.

According to research conducted by LACNIC, at least nine countries of the region already have more than 1% of their traffic over IPv6: Guatemala, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Trinidad Tobago, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru.

Likewise, the first regional anti-abuse group formed by LACNIC, LACNOG and M3AAWG will be officially presented and five proposals for policy modifications will be discussed during the Policy Forum.

This meeting would not be possible without the support of its sponsors: Cisco, Huawei, Google, NTT Communications, Internet Society, ICANN, Netflix , Arbor, Facebook, Antel, Telcomanager, Grupo Binario, GlobeNet, Ams-ix, Secure64, IP Trading, Furukawa and our local organizer NIC.br.

We encourage everyone with an interest in these issues to participate remotely at http://www.lacnic.net/web/eventos/lacnic27

Gluten-Free Food Labeling: Important Information for Those with Celiac Disease

May 2, 2017

0

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

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, May 2, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — May is Celiac Awareness Month. An estimated 3 million Americans suffer from celiac disease, a genetic autoimmune digestive disorder that damages the small intestine. Celiac disease is triggered by consumption of a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, rye, and crossbreeds of these grains. Gluten gives breads and other grain products (such as cakes, cereals, and pastas) their shape, strength, and texture. For those suffering from celiac disease (or choosing/preparing food for someone who does), identifying gluten-free food is critical.

In August 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a regulation that standardized what “gluten-free” means on food labels. This ensures that gluten-free claims on food products are consistent and reliable across the food industry.

Learn more at: http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInformation/Allergens/ucm367654.htm

Understanding Gluten-Free Labeling

FDA defined the terms “Gluten-free,” “No gluten,” “Free of gluten,” and “Without gluten.” Foods bearing any of these terms have to meet the requirements of the gluten-free regulation. FDA encourages consumers to rely on these four terms when looking for foods that meet the FDA definition and can be used as part of a gluten-free diet. Other terms related to gluten may be used, if they are truthful and not misleading, but the food bearing the terms would not have to meet the requirements of the gluten-free regulation. Manufacturers are not required to place the voluntary gluten-free claim in any specific location on the food label.

Foods bearing a gluten-free claim must, among other things, contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten. This level is the lowest that can be reliably detected in foods using scientifically validated analytical methods. A food that is labeled as gluten-free but fails to meet the requirements of the regulation is subject to regulatory action by FDA.

Products Covered by the Gluten-Free Regulation

FDA’s regulation applies to all foods and beverages (including packaged foods, dietary supplements, fruits, vegetables, shell eggs, and fish) except for:

Meat, poultry, and certain egg products
Most alcoholic beverages

Gluten-Free When Eating Out

Given the public health significance of gluten-free labeling, FDA continues to encourage the restaurant industry to ensure that its use of gluten-free labeling is consistent with the federal definition. FDA also works with state and local governments, who play an important role in oversight of restaurants, and considers appropriate action as needed, alone or with other agencies, to protect consumers with respect to gluten-free labeling in restaurants.

Reporting Adverse Effects and Labeling Concerns

Individuals who become ill or experience adverse health effects that they believe are associated with having eaten a food should first seek appropriate medical care.

Afterward, individuals can report a problem with a food or its labeling in either of these ways:

Contact the consumer complaint coordinator in their area. The list of FDA consumer complaint coordinators is available at: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/ReportaProblem/ConsumerComplaintCoordinators
Contact MedWatch, FDA’s Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program, at 1-800-332-1088, or file a MedWatch voluntary report at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch.

They’ll discuss the front burner topics of national interest and how issues from immigration policy and border security to health care impact the Latino community and marketing efforts.

The conference will culminate with strategies on harnessing digital influencers and new tech platforms to meaningfully connect with the next generation and empower the Latino community to be seen, heard and valued. How does influencer marketing fit into the current and future marketing mix?

MassGenie Launches Crowd Shopping - The Newest Way To Shop

IRVINE, California, May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — MassGenie today announced that it has launched its unique online marketplace site, which combines the power of crowdsourcing and ecommerce to create crowd shopping. MassGenie gamifies both the buyer and seller experience. It is the only marketplace where both the buyer and sellers can initiate a deal.

At MassGenie, buyers can use crowd shopping to drive prices down by creating or joining Power Deals. Power Deals are short-time, volume-based, discounted offers on everyday items. Once a buyer creates or joins a Power Deal, they can share the deal with their friends via email and social media to create more demand, which encourages sellers to offer lower prices. By helping buyers crowdsource demand, Power Deals let buyers enjoy volume pricing even when buying one or two items.

Sellers benefit from MassGenie too. Multiple sellers can be involved in a Power Deal, which is different than other marketplaces. By participating in Power Deals, sellers at MassGenie get the chance to move large quantities of their inventory and have the opportunity to directly market items to buyers.

The Power Deal is gamification, because it is unpredictable. Multiple sellers can compete to fill the demand volume by lowering their price.

“Our website has been under development for over two years,” says MassGenie Founder and CEO Sean McEvoy. “We are excited to introduce this disruptive technology and change the way people shop, giving buying power back to customers. We believe that MassGenie is poised to capture a portion of the projected online consumer sales of $530 billion in 2020.”

“Today we launched with a curated selection of Power Deals from a diverse group of sellers,” says MassGenie COO Dan DeVries. “We are focused on growing a community of enthusiasts and influencers. In addition, over the next few months we expect to add hundreds of sellers, thousands of brands and tens of thousands of items to our selection.”

The PSA, which is being distributed by the Georgia Association of Broadcasters, was produced in English and Spanish and both versions can be viewed on the company’s YouTube channel.

“Our number one priority is the safety of our customers and employees and the mistakes highlighted in our PSA are real situations we hear about almost every day,” said Pedro Cherry, executive vice president of Customer Service and Operations for Georgia Power. “Whether at home or work, electricity is a pervasive, important part of our lives and keeping simple safety top of mind is the easiest way to avoid accidents.”

Electrical Safety Month Tips from Georgia Power:

Consider the Cord – Don’t place appliance cords where they will come into contact with stoves or other heated surfaces, over countertops or areas where they could be pulled. Look for frayed appliance cords, inspect them regularly and never substitute an extension cord for permanent wiring.
Look for the Ladder – Exercise caution when using ladders around the house, painting, pruning or cleaning near a service drop as all ladders can conduct electricity.
Watch for Wires – Keep balloons, kites, fishing lines, aluminum poles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) away from overhead lines every day and as line crews work in the field.
Proper Poolside Prep – Don’t use electrical appliances near pools and never route extension cords around pools.
Focus on Fire Prevention – Avoid storing combustibles such as paint, cardboard, sawdust and flammable liquids near electrical equipment or fuse boxes.

The cross-country tour will include “Intercept” events, or the more traditional ride and drive experience at a set location and “Mastercraft” events, which will feature special events in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Chicago, inviting Mazda owners to explore the “Mastercraft” behind a certain product or craft that aligns with the Mazda brand.

“Our goal is to engage our audience in an impactful way, in a location that’s convenient and familiar to them,” said Russell Wager, vice president of marketing for Mazda North American Operations. “By allowing our customers to engage with our brand and our vehicles in an environment that is fun and interactive, we create the opportunity for potential customers to experience our personality as a brand.

Participants of the “Intercept” component will be guided through the city on a quest to learn more about the vehicle and the unique Mazda driving experience. During the tour, participants will learn first-hand how a lighter vehicle can ultimately make the drive more fun; that safety features can enhance, and not overtake, the driving experience; how technology can help support the driving experience, not take away from it; and how Mazda’s Jinba Ittai driving philosophy directly translates to the driver’s everyday experience in the vehicle.

CX-5’s exterior draws in the eyes and never lets them go, honed in several new colors, including the lustrous Soul Red Crystal that brings a show-car-like finish to everyday drivers. Inside, the driver and passengers will notice a hushed cabin and smoother ride, thanks to an obsessive attention to detail and Mazda-exclusive technologies like G-Vectoring Control that uses the throttle and steering to smooth CX-5’s ride and build driver confidence. With all of the refinements, Mazda stayed focused on creating the best-driving vehicle in its segment—a hallmark of the Mazda brand and an area that further sets CX-5 apart from the competition.
