July 2, 2016

American Honda reported June sales results today, with Honda light trucks setting a new record just one week after the all-new 2017 Ridgeline entered the market

TORRANCE, California, July 1, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — American Honda Motor Co., Inc. today reported June sales of 138,715 Honda and Acura vehicles, a year-over-year increase of 3.2 percent and a new June record for light trucks which gained 2.2 percent on sales of 68,780. Honda division trucks also set a new June record, jumping 6.6 percent on sales of 61,469 vehicles while Honda cars enjoyed an even greater increase, rising 7.7 percent on sales of 65,894 units. Acura division sales totaled 11,352 in June, a decrease of 26.9 percent versus last year. Total American Honda six-month sales of Honda and Acura vehicles are up 5.2 percent versus year-ago results.

Honda
Continued robust demand for both cars and light trucks pushed the Honda brand to strong June results, including a new June record for trucks and substantial gains for Honda cars. On the truck side, sales of CR-V reached a new all-time June record, while Pilot and Odyssey each made notable gains for the month and the all-new 2017 Ridgeline got off to a strong start in its first weeks on the market. The hot-selling Civic nearly reached 32,000 sales while Accord topped 28,000 for the month, with added support from the just-launched 2017 Accord Hybrid.

The all-new 2017 Honda Ridgeline pickup notched a robust 2,472 sales after just over one week on the market.
CR-V, America’s best-selling SUV over the past 20 years, set a new June sales record, rising 4.5 percent on sales of 29,615 units.
The 10^th-generation Civic lit up the compact car segment with another double-digit gain, posting sales of 31,810 for a gain of 10.7 percent in June.
Accord posted a 4.8 percent increase for the month on sales of 28,806 as Honda celebrated the 40^th birthday of the model, America’s best-selling car over the past 40 years. The award-winning Accord lineup was joined this month by the all-new 2017 Accord Hybrid, boasting the highest EPA fuel economy ratings and most horsepower of any midsize hybrid sedan.

“With the all new Ridgeline pickup and the redesigned Accord Hybrid back in the lineup, we’re continuing to expand and strengthen our portfolio as we look toward a third straight year of record results,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division.

Acura
After the recent sell-down of 2016 RDX and MDX and 2017 models starting to fill the pipeline, Acura posted a 26.9 percent decline in June on sales of 11,352 vehicles. With a newly refreshed 2017 Acura MDX hitting the ground and a special summer sales campaign launching soon, Acura looks toward an improving summer sales picture.

“With initial deliveries of the NSX under way and the redesigned 2017 MDX now hitting showrooms, we’re looking ahead to a strong second half of the year,” said Jon Ikeda, vice president and general manager of the Acura division.

FPL celebrates Independence Day by helping customers take control of their energy use with tech-savvy tips

July 1, 2016

JUNO BEACH, Florida, July 1, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Fireworks aren’t the only things that may go up on Independence Day. Hot and humid temperatures are in the forecast this weekend, creating a greater reliance on air conditioning – which can account for more than half of the typical electric bill in Florida. Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) offers customers tech-savvy tips to give them freedom to take control of their energy use.

“Summer bills are always higher because we’re all using more energy. Not only is your A/C unit combatting the sun’s rays, but it’s also working hard to cool down your home filled with out-of-town guests and kids moving in and out of your home grabbing drinks and snacks from your refrigerator,” said FPL Energy Expert Tiffany Spence. “That’s what makes FPL’s Online Energy Dashboard so valuable. With just a few clicks, customers can log into their FPL.com account and see how the temperature impacts their bill by the month, day or hour.”

All the activity in customers’ homes means their air conditioning unit will be working overtime – working up to twice as long in the summer than in cooler months. While FPL’s typical 1,000-kWh customer bills are lower than they were a decade ago and among the lowest in the nation, technology is making it easier for customers to make their bills even lower – even as they step outside to fire up the grill.

Using technology to save energy and money this summer

Before firing up the grill this July 4^th holiday, customers should keep these tech-savvy tips in mind to help save energy and money.

Use a smart thermostat: When you’re outside with family and friends, control the temperature inside your home from a smart device using a smart thermostat. Total control in the palm of your hand even if you’ve left home to catch the fireworks!
Use smart plugs: Flipping burgers on the grill and notice someone left a lamp on? No problem! With a smart plug, you can turn the lamp off with a smart device without skipping a beat on the grill.
Switch outdoor lights to LEDs: LED lights use 90 percent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and can last up to ten times longer.
Install a new, variable speed pool pump: It’ll cost you money up front, but variable speed pool pumps can generate big savings and can pay for themselves in as little as eight months. Reducing your existing pool pump’s daily run time by at least two hours can save up to $100 annually.
Track your energy use: FPL’s Online Energy Dashboard allows you to track how much energy you’re using by the month, day or even down to the hour. Log into your FPL.com account to get started.
Click and save up to $250: FPL’s Online Home Energy Survey can help you create a smart energy savings plan to help make your home more energy efficient.

“Taking advantage of these tech-savvy energy tips can add up and leave extra money in our customers’ pockets—money they can spend on their summer vacations and family celebrations. That said, customers should think about energy efficiency throughout the year, not just during the summer. That’s why we encourage our customers to manage and track how much energy they use with our Online Energy Dashboard and to take our Online Home Energy Survey to create a personalized savings plan and save up to $250,” Spence said.

Visit FPL.com/easytosave to take FPL’s Online Home Energy Survey and use the Energy Dashboard to learn how to save up to $250 a year.

No technology, no problem

While technology plays an important role in helping our customers save money by managing their energy costs, here are some simple tips to keep in mind throughout the summer.

Go outside: Use an outdoor grill instead of the oven to keep the kitchen cool.
Use smaller appliances: If cooking inside, do it with a toaster oven, microwave or crock pot. These smaller appliances use less energy than the oven and add less heat to the kitchen.
Consider cold snacks: When it’s hot outside, a cold alternative such as sandwiches, vegetables or fruit make for delicious snacks without having to use the oven.
Grab in bulk: Reduce the amount of cold air escaping from the fridge by opening the door once to get all necessary items.
Fill it up: Run the dishwasher with a full load and use the air dry option, if available.
Switch it out: Make sure your A/C unit is running efficiently by cleaning or changing your filter once a month.
Turn it off: When leaving to watch a parade or fireworks, remember to turn off lights and fans. Fans only keep people cool, not rooms, so without people, it’s running for no reason.
Turn it up: Turn the thermostat up to 82 degrees or more if traveling for the long weekend. And remember, close window blinds and shades to block out the sun’s heat.

Nuevo Hospital de Bocagrande from Cartagena, Colombia, has 99% of success in minimally invasive procedures in foreign patients

CARTAGENA, Colombia, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — El Nuevo Hospital de Bocagrande de Cartagena (NHBG) reported that the institution has become a reference for minimally invasive procedures or laparoscopic surgeries, which are carried out through small incisions, with the assistance of a video camera and allows the surgeon to see the surgical field within the patient.

Doctor Nayib Zurita, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons that accredits him as a specialist of high level standards in the United States, said the institution has had 99% of successful cases of minimally invasive procedures to foreigners and 97% in Colombian patients. He emphasized the quality of care is essential for national and foreign patients.

The specialist, coordinator for general and laparoscopic surgery of the Nuevo Hospital de Bocagrande, also said the benefits that receive the patients who were operated through this technique are related to lower costs of hospitalization. “For example, a bariatric surgery by laparoscopy practiced in overweight people, cost about 6.000 to 7.000 dollars, including hospital expenses, transfers and stay during the recovery time in a tourist town such as Cartagena (12 days). At hospital, patients will also have a recovery environment beneficial for them and their families thanks to the privileged view to the sea and the warm assistance”.

The most common procedures by laparoscopy are those related to gastrointestinal issues: gall bladder, hernia, gastroesophageal reflux, adrenal, pancreas, liberation of adhesions, cecal appendix, benign and malignant pathology of colon and bariatric surgery.

Season 3 consists of 10 episodes of one hour each and will return with Ávila’s career on the rise as he takes on a new role as Lord of Lords, after getting rid of his predecessor—the priest who was his guide and confidant for years. When Dr. Duarte, father of the previously murdered Detective Duarte, reaches out to Ávila demanding to collaborate with him in the hopes of finding answers regarding the death of his daughter, a series of events will reveal a new plot of crime and corruption that involves undercover members of the government and the police. Soon, Sr. Ávila will realize that keeping his new job is going to be more challenging than the road that brought him there.

Iván, both his advisor and right-hand man, will now have to compete over Ávila’s attention with Linares, former advisor to the Lord of Lords who now must serve Ávila. Ana, still an employee at the funeral home and accomplice to the business with Iván and Ávila, will confront her mom, Arcelia, and the secrets they keep regarding their past. As for Detective Sánchez, still recovering from the murder of his colleague, he is due to return to work with a new partner, the Vulture, with whom he shares more than likes and dislikes.

MIAMI, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Cannes International Festival of Creativity is a yearly celebration that recognizes the best in creative advertising worldwide. June 25^th marked the official culmination of the festival for 2016, which reflected a historic performance for Alma. The agency won a total of 8 Lions and 18 Shortlists, establishing a new record for the multicultural industry!

Alma’s legendary run included awards and shortlists in the Radio category for clients Tobacco Free Florida (TFF) and The Clorox Company. More specifically, Alma received 3 Bronze Lions for TFF’s “Auctioneer” and 1 Bronze Lion for “Tobacco Downs,” as well as 1 Silver Lion for Clorox’s “Thanks for Nothing’s Big Bang” and 1 Bronze for “Gravity.” Additionally, the Playdoh “Shapes” campaign received 1 Silver, and “Help Kenya Not Kanye” was awarded 1 Bronze in the Promo & Activation Category.

Statistically speaking, only 8% of submissions make the Shortlist and 2.5% are awarded.

“This is an amazing achievement for our agency! It’s only possible when you have great clients who believe in taking smart creative risks, and it belongs to the awesome Alma team that makes our clients and our agency proud on a daily basis. We work for great ideas that generate results for our clients, and awards are the consequence. I couldn’t be prouder!” said Luis Miguel Messianu, Creative Chairman and CEO of Alma.

“In a world where messaging has become hyper-fragmented, where consumers are skeptical about Marketing and are inundated by heavy messaging clutter, creativity matters!” stated Isaac Mizrahi, Co-President and COO of Alma.

“Award-winning ideas can only be achieved when you have a team that believes in and fights for those ideas, and especially when on the other side, there’s a client who trusts the agency and believes that good creativity can make a difference for the brand and consequently for business. When these two things happen, the agency experiences a “momentum.” And Alma is experiencing a momentum wherein winning prizes of this caliber is just a consequence,” remarked Alvar Sunol, Co-President and Chief Creative Officer of Alma.

Creatively, Alma rose to the #1 spot on the Circulo Creativo Hispanic Agency ranking, boosting the U.S. to the 4^th place in Iberoamérica.

2016 so far has been an outstanding year for the Miami-based agency, comprised of 150 employees from over 30 nationalities. A fact that has strengthened the culture and clearly has contributed to its success with such impacting pieces.
