Measure It.” is a direct reflection of its mission to eradicate systemic cyber risks.

NHCLC Names Immigration Attorney Jessica Dominguez to Help Protect Sanctity of Families, Empower Churches to Help

December 12, 2016

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC), today announced that Attorney Jessica Dominguez has been named the official Immigration Attorney for the NHCLC, bringing more than a decade of experience helping families stay together, know their rights and navigate the immigration system.

“Due to the uncertainty about future immigration policy, our member pastors across the country are asking what their churches can do to help families in their congregations that are constantly worried about what will happen next,” said Rodriguez. “While we will be working on a national level to influence policies that will prevent this uncertainty, we want to give practical advice and tools to our people in the meantime.”

The NHCLC is currently holding weekly phone calls with pastors and denominational leadership to answer questions about rights and options for both churches and the law-abiding immigrants to help keep their families together. Dominguez been a part of this effort since its inception and will now take on a more official role as Immigration Attorney.

“I look forward to continuing to collaborate with NHCLC, an organization that is committed to advocacy for social justice and immigration reform on behalf of hard working immigrants that protects the sanctity of families,” said Dominguez. “Throughout the years, the Evangelical Church has played a pivotal role in shaping the history of our nation. I look forward to working with pastors and their churches to assist them in their calling to protect the sanctity of millions of families. Keeping immigrant workers and parents informed about their rights and teaching them how to protect those rights will empower them in their daily pursuit of keeping their families together.”

Dominguez was born in Peru and has lived in the United States since she was 14. She received her undergraduate degree from Pepperdine University and her JD degree with honors from the University of Verne College of Law. She founded the Law Offices of Attorney Jessica Dominguez in 2002 with the mission of keeping families together by giving them tools and resources to navigate the immigration system.

The NHCLC/CONEL is the world’s largest Hispanic Christian organization, which serves as a representative voice the more than 100 million Hispanic Evangelicals assembled in more than 40,000 U.S. churches and hundreds of thousands of additional congregations worldwide throughout the Spanish-speaking diaspora. Seeking to reconcile evangelist Billy Graham’s message of salvation with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march of prophetic activism, the NHCLC emphasizes “7 Directives” of Life, Family, Compassionate Evangelism, Stewardship, Justice, Education and Youth.

APR Energy Awarded LPG-Fired Project in U.S. Virgin Islands

December 12, 2016

Innovative plant features first TM2500+ turbine in commercial operation to run on LPG

JACKSONVILLE, Florida, Dec. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — APR Energy, a global leader in fast-track power solutions, announces today that it has signed a 12-month contract with U.S. Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (WAPA) to provide 25MW of power generation using liquid petroleum gas (LPG). The project features a retrofitted GE TM2500+ mobile gas turbine, the first ever to be commercially operated on LPG – a significant milestone that will provide customers access to a cheaper and cleaner-burning alternative to other conventional petroleum-based fuels.

Photo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20161209/447572

The project is the latest in a string of business wins for APR Energy since being privatized at the beginning of the year, bringing the total of new awards, extensions and expansions in 2016 to more than 1GW. The project also is the company’s sixth award in the past year using mobile gas turbines.

“This first-of-its-kind project will enable the USVI to leverage its significant investment in LPG infrastructure by greatly reducing the cost and environmental impact of power generation,” said APR Energy Executive Chairman John Campion. “Experts are forecasting a 15-percent increase in the price of diesel fuel during the next two years, while LPG prices are expected to remain stable. Using LPG should provide WAPA with significant savings compared with diesel-powered reciprocating engines, which are common in the Caribbean.”

“The switch to the lower-cost and cleaner-burning LPG as the primary source of fuel in generating electricity in the Virgin Islands has been the single biggest capital project WAPA has undertaken in recent history,” said WAPA Executive Director and CEO Julio Rhymer, Sr. “We are excited about potentially providing lower rates for our customers and are pleased that with today’s contract signing APR Energy will be part of our energy solution in the Virgin Islands. For years now, WAPA has had a positive relationship with APR Energy, and we are pleased to work with them in becoming the world’s first electric utility to place an LPG-fired TM2500+ into commercial operation.”

Campion expects this project to serve as a model for other utilities looking to benefit quickly from LPG as an alternative, cheaper fuel source. “Interest in LPG is growing in many markets around the world, especially in the Caribbean and parts of Africa and Asia, where availability of the fuel has expanded significantly in the last few years,” Campion said. “The TM2500+ turbine is one of the few fast-track technologies capable of running on LPG, and it offers customers the added flexibility to switch quickly and seamlessly between fuels based on price and availability.”

The new project supplements APR Energy’s existing 25MW diesel-fuelled turbine plant installed in 2012 for WAPA, bringing its total generation at the site to 50MW.

About APR Energy

APR Energy is the world’s leading provider of fast-track mobile turbine power. Our fast, flexible and full-service power solutions provide customers with rapid access to reliable electricity when and where they need it, for as long as they need it.

HITN-TV Announces Vive Tu Momento Contest Winner Grand Prize is a trip for two to 2017 Presidential Inauguration

December 12, 2016

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Dec. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — HITN-TV, the leading Spanish-language network that delivers educational and entertaining programming to over 42 million households across the country, announced Mrs. Leticia Parra Ibarra from Waukegan, Illinois as the winner of its national Vive Tu Momento (Live Your Moment) contest. Mrs. Ibarra and her husband will attend the 2017 presidential inauguration on a 3-day trip to Washington, D.C. in January.

The contest was not a game of luck, but rather a test of knowledge since participants were challenged to utilize their grasp of the presidential election and their understanding of the Electoral College to predict which states each presidential candidate would win on Election Day. HITN-TV carefully examined hundreds of entries and in the end found one contestant to be the most politically astute: Mrs. Leticia Ibarra became the contest winner after being the first to accurately predict the voting results for 46 states.

The Vive Tu Momento contest was the final component of HITN-TV‘s Tu Momento 2016 campaign, a national educational campaign aimed at educating U.S. Hispanics on the presidential election process and at increasing the Hispanic voter turnout rate.

Born in Michoacán, Mexico, the politically astute, 33-year-old Mrs. Ibarra works for a tech company in Chicago, where she lives with her husband, who together had been following the developments of the presidential election through HITN-TV‘s Tu Momento 2016 segments.

Mrs. Ibarra’s interest in politics began after she and her equally-astute husband began the tradition of debating U.S. and Mexican politics during dinner. “When we started following the (2016) presidential election, I thought it might be fun to test my knowledge, but I did not think I would win [the contest],” Mrs. Ibarra said of her win.

Mrs. Ibarra’s contest win is a true testament to her inquisitive nature, as the Vive Tu Momento contest encourages participants to do their research on each state as they complete the Vive Tu Momento contest form. It was her commitment to a thorough search and a sound analysis that has earned this intelligent and diligent Latina a trip to Washington, D.C. next month.

“I’m proud and I feel so blessed to go to Washington, D.C. with my husband. I would never have been given this privilege if I didn’t take a chance and do the work.”

This year marks two milestones for our grand winner, as it will be the first time Mrs. Ibarra has exercised her right to vote and she will, for the first time, take a trip with her husband.

Audiences can learn more about both the Tu Momento 2016 campaign and Vive Tu Momento contest by visiting www.hitn.org, as well as by joining the conversation online on Facebook and Twitter using the handle @HITN.

HITN-TV is the leading Spanish-language network focused on educational and cultural programing for the whole family. It reaches over 42 million homes across the United States and Puerto Rico through DIRECTV, DISH Network, AT&T U-verse TV, Verizon FiOS TV, Comcast, Charter, Time Warner Cable and Cablevision.

March of Dimes Celebration of Babies brought together celebrities and prominent individuals in the entertainment community who care about the health of moms and babies.

The preterm birth rate among Black women is 48% higher than all other women. In addition to the unfair toll on mothers and babies, preterm birth accounts for more than $26 billion annually in avoidable medical and societal costs in the United States. Prematurity affects 15,000,000 babies each year globally and nearly one million of them die before their first birthday. March of Dimes strives for a world where every baby has a fair chance, with a mission to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

Her memorable roles have garnered her numerous honors and awards over the years, including Academy, Grammy, Golden Globe, BAFTA and SAG Awards. Hudson has also made a global impact through her extensive philanthropic work, championing children, women’s issues and poverty around the world.

“I’m so grateful for this opportunity because it has taught me about premature birth,” said Hudson. “It’s so easy to overlook what others are going through…what better way to invest in the future than in babies.”

Jody Gerson, Chairman & CEO, Universal Music Publishing Group, was honored by March of Dimes as the 2016 Inspiring Woman of the Year for her accomplishments as a leader in the entertainment industry and as a dedicated mother.

Dr. Mary Kerr, board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, was honored with the 2016 March of Dimes Prematurity Champion Award, for her dedication and special interest in caring for patients with high-risk pregnancies. She has been honored as one of the top Obstetrician and Gynecologists in America and is a faculty member of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Los Angeles Obstetrics and Gynecology Society, the American Women’s Medical Society and the American Medical Association. Dr. Kerr is also a national honoree for United Cerebral Palsy for her work with embryonic stem cell collection and Special Needs Network LA, which provides needs for low-income families of children and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities.

President of Universal Pictures Jimmy Horowitz and producer Wyck Godfrey served as Celebration of Babies event chairs, alongside their wives.

Nick Cannon returned as master of ceremonies for the exclusive luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

Event co-chairs included: Shelli and Irving Azoff, Catherine and Marty Bowen, Kate and Paul Brooks, Sir Lucian Grainge and Lady Caroline Grainge, Paula Kaplan and Billy Goldberg, Lisa Kasteler, Chris Meledandri, Graehme Morphy, Ronald O. Perelman and Dr. Anna Chapman, Daniel Seah, Damien Smith, and Molly Sims and Scott Stuber.
