MIAMI, July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Inspirational author, lecturer and communicator Ismael Cala is in Mexico City to present his books Ser como el bambú (‘Being like the bamboo’) (HarperCollins Español) and El analfabeto emocional (‘The emotional illiterate’) (VR Editoras) this Saturday, July 9^th.

“How wonderful to meet again with Mexican readers, and this time for a double whammy! We’ve got something for all tastes. One is for kids, so parents and their children can enjoy what we can learn from the bamboo, a plant whose strength and flexibility make it very powerful. And the other one is for young people and adults, because all of us have been emotional illiterates at some point in our lives, starting with me,” said Cala in Miami.

Signing and presentation of ‘Ser como el bambú’ (‘Being like the bamboo’)
Date: Saturday, July 9th
Time: 12:00 pm
Place: Librería Porrúa. Parque Lindavista. México DF
Address: Colector 13 Nº 280, Local SA-11, Magdalena de las Salinas, México, D.F.

Signing and presentation of ‘El analfabeto emocional’ (‘The emotional illiterate’)
Date: Saturday, July 9th

Place: Librerías El Sótano. Sucursal Miguel Ángel de Quevedo

Ser como el bambú (‘Being like the bamboo’) is a beautifully illustrated book for children in a bilingual edition that will allow parents to spend some quality time with their kids. It’s the story of Mama Panda and Baby Bear, and will inspire children to develop values such as patience, perseverance, determination, independence and generosity.

El analfabeto emocional (‘The emotional illiterate’), for its part, is a practical guide for how to use our emotions so that they can lead us to success. “I was an emotional illiterate.” This is how Cala bluntly begins his latest book, which focuses on the role of emotions in our lives. The author proposes to flee from feeling like a victim, leaving behind our fears and constricting beliefs.

“If pessimism and insecurity block our personal or professional progress, if everyday traffic brings out our inner monster of rage, if jealousy dominates our relationships… then it is time to take action,” Cala proposes.

Open letter from Ismael Cala to President Evo Morales

July 5, 2016

MIAMI, July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — On Thursday the president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, made the following statements about the writer, lecturer and communicator ISMAEL CALA:

http://www.unitel.tv/noticias/evo-morales-sobre-periodista-cala-algunos-vienen-a-molestar-y-conspirarme/

Ismael Cala’s response to President Morales follows:

Today on the first day of my new phase away from CNN en Español and on a personal note I would like to thank you, President Evo Morales, for calling me “annoying” and a “conspirator”. In accordance with my style of shattering paradigms, which is fully explained in my book Un buen hijo de P (‘A real S.O.B.’), I take your attacks as a wonderful compliment.

The press is always seen as “annoying” to those who think they’re above everyone else. Certainly I am a “conspirator”, though NOT because I try to overthrow governments or get involved in politics, but simply because I ask my guests questions with no restrictions other than those of common sense. I know that questions are uncomfortable for certain people, but it is assumed that politicians are public servants who govern under the terms of a “contract” signed with the citizenry in mind. And they have to answer to the citizenry.

If you do not know the reasons why I voluntarily decided to leave CNN en Español, I will tell you. I did it to close a cycle, to embrace change, reinvent myself and allow for alteration in that space – an alteration that many people find hard to put into practice when they hold positions of power. One of the reasons for my resignation, already explained in my first book ‘El poder de escuchar’ (‘The power of listening’), was having to deal with politicians (it makes no difference what ideological banner they wave) who are too accustomed to memorized speeches, incapable of showing their feelings and encumbered with oversized egos.

On the other hand, believe me, it’s no insult for you to call me a cubano gusano (‘cuban worm’). Reducing people to animals for the purpose of discrediting their ideas, actions and opinions, always ends up discrediting the person who uses this approach. To describe a human being with the name of an animal that is supposedly repulsive is an old tactic that comes from Nazism.

Nobody uses the term gusano (‘worm’) in Cuba anymore. The more than two million Cubans who live outside of our country are human beings seeking personal self-realization, beyond the particular reasons of each individual.

Let’s leave behind the ideological dinosaur. Let’s sit down and celebrate what brings us together; enough with the caricatures, with discrediting people and the insulting attitudes.

Whenever you would like to, let’s sit down and talk, without any cameras.

I’ll say goodbye with best wishes for your health and success. Soon I will send you my most recent book El analfabeto emocional (‘The emotional illiterate’). I hope you enjoy it.

I am convinced that our continent must embrace its cultural, ideological and racial diversity. We must seriously address the reasons that drive citizens to immigrate to other places, instead of trying to humiliate them. Latin America has all the potential to become the happiest place in the world.

Cordially,
Ismael Cala

Puerto Rico Legal-Assistance Organization Receives $11.8 Million under Bank of America Mortgage Settlement

July 5, 2016

BOSTON, July 5, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Eric D. Green, independent Monitor of Bank of America’s August 20, 2014, mortgage settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice and six states, today announced the distribution of $11,756,742 to the Fundación Fondo Acceso a la Justicia, Inc., as mandated under the settlement, to provide legal assistance in foreclosure prevention and community redevelopment.

The Foundation, headquartered in Guaynabo, is one of 56 state-based legal-assistance organizations receiving funds under the settlement, which settled legal claims arising from mortgage-related activities by Bank of America and its subsidiaries. A distribution was made earlier to NeighborWorks America, a national, congressionally-chartered nonprofit organization that provides training and support for community-based redevelopment programs in the United States and Puerto Rico.

The distributions – totaling more than $490 million nationwide – were triggered in December by President Obama’s signing into law an act extending federal tax relief through 2016 to homeowners who otherwise would have incurred income-tax liability from mortgage debt forgiveness they received under consumer-relief provisions of the settlement. The money being distributed to the nonprofit organizations is from a fund established under the settlement to provide federal tax assistance to homeowners in case Congress failed to extend the tax-relief legislation.

With the signing of the legislation, the tax-relief fund became surplus. Under the terms of the settlement, Professor Green is required to distribute 75 percent ($367.62 million) of the fund to eligible legal-assistance organizations in each state and the remaining 25 percent ($122.54 million) to NeighborWorks America.

The settlement provides that in each state, the District of Columbia, and each U.S. territory or possession, to the extent practicable, the legal-assistance organizations are to receive a distribution of $200,000 from the fund, with the remainder to be allocated among the states and other eligible jurisdictions based on poverty population data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau, in the manner used for funding distribution by the Legal Services Corporation. As specified in the settlement, these recipients are state-based Interest on Lawyers Trust Account (IOLTA) organizations or other state bar association affiliated intermediaries that fund legal aid organizations in their jurisdictions.

Co-signatories to the settlement, besides the bank and the Department of Justice, were the Attorneys General of the States of California, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland and New York, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Eligible legal-assistance organizations in all six “settling states” have received their distributions, as have organizations in a number of other jurisdictions.

The remaining distributions will be made in the coming days upon completion of appropriate documentation by the recipient organizations.

Professor Green, a Boston-based professional mediator and retired Boston University law professor, was hired as independent Monitor to oversee the tax-relief fund and the bank’s compliance with its ongoing consumer-relief obligations under the settlement.

A full list of recipient organizations and more information about the settlement is available at the Monitor’s website: http://bankofamerica.mortgagesettlementmonitor.com. The Monitor’s mailing address is: Monitor of the Bank of America Mortgage Settlement, P.O. Box 10134, Dublin, OH 43017-3134, and the e-mail address is [email protected].

July 2, 2016

0

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.

Furthermore, the winner’s work will be translated to English and published in digital, print and audio formats in English by AmazonCrossing.

“We are very excited to have established an annual contest that connects authors in Spanish with a growing audience of digital readers all over the world. Myriam Millán, winner of the 2015 contest, is originally from Seville, Spain, and has managed to reach first place on the best-seller lists in Spain and Mexico, as well as the list of books in Spanish for the United States,” said Charles Kronbach, director of Kindle Direct Publishing.
