Our customers are inspired by TripAdvisor’s great user-generated content when planning their next trip to our 85 destinations within three continents and more around the world as a founder member of SkyTeam alliance. Encouraging our customers to review our service on TripAdvisor’s popular site is a logical next step.

Publix Super Markets is New #1 National March for Babies Corporate Partner

July 21, 2016

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For the first time in 30 years, there is a new number one national March for Babies corporate partner, the March of Dimes announced during its annual March of Dimes Summer Conference. Dr. Jennifer Howse, president of the March of Dimes, told the hundreds of attendees that Publix Super Markets, Inc. has earned that distinction.

“We congratulate Publix, their associates, and customers for this outstanding accomplishment,” says Dr. Howse. “Publix’s commitment to our goal of giving every baby a fighting chance has been unwavering for 21 years. The impact of this generous contribution to help fight premature birth, the leading cause of death among babies in the United States, is significant and substantial.”

Publix, based in Lakeland, Florida, with 1,120 retail stores in six states: Alabama (61), Georgia (182), Florida (768), South Carolina (56), Tennessee (39) and North Carolina (14), has worked alongside the March of Dimes for more than two decades. This year, during their annual three week in-store and associate March for Babies fundraising campaign, Publix customers and associates raised more than $7.3 million, an 18 percent year-over-year increase for the second straight year. This brings the Publix 21-year total to an impressive contribution of more than $65 million to help more moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies.

“I’d like to give a big thank you to the more than 180,000 associates across our company who give of themselves every day in our stores and communities. Our people truly make the difference, and without them, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve our stellar campaign results,” says Todd Jones, Publix CEO & President. “And with the passion of our associates, comes the generosity of our customers. We’ve always said, we have the best customers in the industry. And each year, they rise to the occasion to support healthy babies.”

March for Babies is Publix’s largest-grossing customer facing campaign. The company also raises awareness within the communities it serves through outreach by associates who engage the hearts and minds of customers, Mr. Jones says.

Since Publix joined the March of Dimes in 1995, there have been many breakthroughs for mothers and babies, including:

After years of March of Dimes advocacy, in 2008, all 50 states began to require screening of all newborns for 21 or more serious but treatable conditions immediately after birth.
The March of Dimes has opened five Prematurity Research Centers, a network of centers pioneering a “team science” approach that brings together scientists from a wide array of fields to find the unknown causes of preterm birth.
In April 2016, the Food & Drug Administration approved voluntary fortification of corn masa flour with folic acid after years of petitioning by the March of Dimes. Hispanic women are about 20 percent more likely to have babies with serious birth defects of the brain and spine known as neural tube birth defects.

March for Babies is the March of Dimes largest fundraiser and America’s favorite walking event. It takes place during the last weekend of April in nearly 500 communities nationwide. March for Babies is sponsored nationally by the March of Dimes number one corporate supporter Kmart, and top sponsors Famous Footwear, Macy’s, Cigna, United Airlines, and Mission Pharmacal.

GO Bondholders charge Puerto Rico with Violations of PROMESA

July 20, 2016

0

WASHINGTON, July 20, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, certain holders of Puerto Rico’s general obligation (GO) bonds filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Puerto Rico seeking to stop Puerto Rico’s violations of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA“). The lawsuit is brought by entities managed by Aurelius Capital Management, LP, Autonomy Capital (Jersey) L.P., Covalent Partners LLC, FCO Advisors LP, Monarch Alternative Capital LP and Stone Lion Capital Partners L.P.

Andrew Rosenberg of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, legal advisor to the general obligation bondholders, commented:

“The government of Puerto Rico has been violating PROMESA from practically the moment of its enactment. Section 204(c)(3) of PROMESA requires that Puerto Rico ‘shall not enact new laws that either permit the transfer of any funds or assets outside the ordinary course of business or that are inconsistent with the constitution or laws of the territory as of the date of enactment of this Act.’ Just hours after PROMESA took effect, Puerto Rico brazenly violated this provision by enacting extraordinary measures diverting many hundreds of millions of dollars.

“Section 204(c)(3) is designed to preserve the status quo until the Oversight Board is formed. Puerto Rico’s officials have upended the status quo. Our clients have sued to restore it.”

“Robert Cimino’s use of state of the art efficiency technology to not only improve his bottom line but also to preserve the environment, is an example of what can be achieved using the Viking Cold’s TES system,” said James Bell, CEO of Viking Cold Solutions. “Our TES system can be installed in cold storage facilities and supermarkets to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint while mitigating risk with temperature monitoring and backup thermal protection.”

Plaza Provision Company’s system is among twenty-four that Viking Cold has installed in cold storage warehouses and supermarkets in Puerto Rico, Bermuda, St. Thomas, California, New Mexico, and Texas.

Aireko Services and Installation, Inc., a leading HVAC services company, is the authorized distributor of Viking Cold’s TES system in Puerto Rico. They have been installing Viking Cold’s systems since 2010.

The Blue Harbor Fish Co. brand is dedicated to the sustainability of the world’s fish stocks. Blue Harbor Fish Co. tuna is caught using long-line fishing methods and innovative tracking systems to help ensure the traceability of the catch all the way back to the boat. The tuna is then hand-selected and each pouch or can is packed with only water, or water and sea salt, offering a delicious, mild, clean flavor.

Both the brand’s pouches and cans feature the internationally recognized Marine Stewardship Council “MSC” blue label so shoppers have independent third party verification of Blue Harbor Fish Co.’s commitment to certified sustainable seafood. The MSC is an international non-profit organization established to address the issue of unsustainable fishing and to safeguard seafood supplies for the future. Fishing has a major impact on the world’s marine environment, which is why all MSC certified fisheries, including those where Blue Harbor Fish Co. Albacore is sourced, meet robust requirements to ensure fish stocks can continue indefinitely while preserving the ecosystem.

“The MSC is proud to partner with Blue Harbor Fish Co. to help achieve our vision of oceans teeming with life for future generations,” said Brian Perkins, MSC Regional Director for the Americas. “The blue MSC label on this product means that it can be traced right back to a certified sustainable wild source and that it was caught responsibly with minimal impact on the environment.”
