Able International was founded in 1977 by Daniel Coifman and his wife, Linda, to service plastic processors in Puerto Rico.  The couple started Tril International in 1988 to service international markets and take advantage of Puerto Rican tax incentives to encourage export businesses on the island.

New Chase Freedom Unlimited Card Survey Reveals a "Fun Gap" among U.S. Consumers

WILMINGTON, Del., April 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Consumers around the country are experiencing a “fun deficit,” and Hispanics are no exception. According to a new Chase Freedom Unlimited Card survey, nearly all Hispanic respondents (96%) say they believe fun is important in their day, and almost two-thirds (59%) say they feel limited in their ability to live a fun, happy life.   

New Chase Freedom Unlimited Card Survey Reveals a "Fun Gap" among U.S. Consumers

Only close to half of Hispanic respondents (43%) say they’re having enough fun, and furthermore, 42% limit their own fun, intentionally.

Chase Freedom Unlimited, a credit card launched in March and available now in Spanish in branches and in English online, lets customers earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on everything they buy – with the ability to redeem for cash back – any amount, anytime. 

Dr. Emma Seppälä, Stanford University expert on the science of happiness, health and success, says that the ability to inject small, incremental moments of fun and happiness into your daily life is key to reducing stress. 

“If we focus on boosting fun and happiness in our lives, even in little ways, research suggests we can end up more productive, charismatic, energetic and innovative,” said Dr. Seppälä. “The Chase Freedom Unlimited Card survey results suggest that there are unlimited opportunities for fun in everyday moments, experiences and things.”

Dr. Seppälä, author of The Happiness Track, Stanford psychologist and TEDx speaker, partnered with Chase to share her research on why happiness and fun in our lives matter and to provide tips to add a little more fun to our day.

“Our customers use their cards for the essentials in life and enjoy their cash back for fun things,” said Pam Codispoti, President of Chase Branded Cards. “Our new Freedom Unlimited card gives people 1.5% cash back on everything they buy and they can use their cash back for little things like coffee or save them up for a larger event like a spa day.”

ABOUT THE CHASE FREEDOM UNLIMITED CARD SURVEY
The Chase Freedom Unlimited survey of more than 500 Hispanics ages 18+ was conducted by ORC International, the research firm that is conducting CNN’s political polls throughout the U.S. Presidential election. The online omnibus study was conducted March 21-23, 2016.

Credit cards issued by Chase Bank USA, N.A. Accounts subject to credit approval.

LATAM A350 over the Andes

MIAMI, April 28, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In one of the most important steps in the consolidation of LAN Airlines, TAM Airlines and their affiliates under the new global LATAM brand, LATAM Airlines Group today revealed its new aircraft design at simultaneous launch events in countries where the group operates.

In addition to the new image of LATAM aircraft, the company presented a number of other changes that will be visible from May onwards, including new uniforms, airport signage and counter design as well as a consolidated website (www.latam.com).

“In the coming days, aircraft with the new LATAM image will take to the skies, representing a historic milestone for the leading airline group in Latin America,” said Enrique Cueto, CEO of LATAM Airlines Group.  “It will be a gradual change with the principal objective of simplifying and improving the travel experience of our passengers.

“In the coming weeks, our passengers will start to experience LATAM with the ability to book tickets via the LATAM website, accumulate kilometers using LATAM’s frequent flyer program, check-in at LATAM counters, relax in LATAM VIP lounges and most significantly, fly on LATAM-branded aircraft.  We will continue to optimize the most extensive route network in Latin America, the most modern fleet in the region and invest in digital solutions to offer our passengers a more personalized travel experience.”

The first flight of a LATAM-branded aircraft, a Boeing 767, will depart from Rio de Janeiro on 1 May on a one-off journey to Geneva to collect the Olympic torch.  The specially prepared aircraft will then return on 3 May to Brasilia, the starting place of the Rio 2016 Olympic Torch Relay between more than 300 Brazilian cities.

On 5 May, the first three commercial flights of aircraft with the new LATAM image will operate the following routes: São Paulo-Santiago (a Boeing 767 service departing São Paulo at 09:05 local time); SantiagoLima (an Airbus A319 service departing Santiago at 09:10 local time); and São Paulo-Brasilia (an Airbus A319 service departing São Paulo at 14:20 local time). 

More than 50 aircraft are anticipated to be rebranded before the end of 2016 and the fleet-wide process is expected to be finalized in 2018.  Repainting takes on average six to 12 days per plane and will be scheduled in accordance with routine maintenance to maximize efficiency.

From 5 May, LATAM’s evolution will also become visible in 13 airports where the group’s airlines operate including their hubs in Santiago, São Paulo (Guarulhos), Lima and Brasilia as well as Río de Janeiro (Galeão), São Paulo (Congonhas), Buenos Aires (Ezeiza), Bogotá, Quito, Miami, Madrid, Guiyaquil and New York (JFK).  Changes will range from new-look check-in counters and VIP lounges to rebranded boarding passes and screen displays. 

In early May, the group will launch its new integrated website www.latam.com – available in six languages – where passengers will be able to seamlessly purchase tickets, check-in, review real-time flight statuses, set-up alerts and access other useful travel information.

Today also saw the unveiling of the new uniforms to be worn by over 23,000 cabin crew, sales office and airport staff throughout LATAM Airline Group’s network, with the global roll-out to begin before the end of 2016.  The LATAM uniforms – which showcase the signature indigo and coral of the LATAM logo – were created by the celebrated Brazilian fashion designer Pedro Lourenço with collaboration from a focus group of over 80 employees from different areas of the company.

LATAM Airlines Group signaled further developments to its in-flight experience including a new onboard magazine and media platform Vamos/ LATAM, which will offer content across a range of channels in Spanish, Portuguese and English.  In addition, an exclusive South American wine list will be introduced to all international flights of LATAM Airlines Group during 2016.  The improvements follow last year’s introduction of LATAM Entertainment – which offers wireless content streaming direct to passengers’ mobile devices – to 200 short-haul aircraft (Airbus A319, A320 and A321).

To support the launch of the new LATAM products and services, the group will launch integrated marketing campaigns in each of the countries where it operates.  

For more information about the implementation of the new LATAM brand visit: www.latam.com   

New aircraft painting technology
LATAM Airlines Group is using new technology to paint LATAM aircraft that is 25% lighter than conventional methods, which the group expects will result in an average weight reduction of 20kg per aircraft.

The painting process for each aircraft requires multiple applications of paint and Clearcoat, a new technologically-advanced gloss coating which protects against extreme temperatures and aerodynamic wear.   In total, repainting takes six days – the first two days to remove the original paintwork, followed by the application of multiple coats over four days.  In terms of quantity, a Boeing 787 for example, requires 300 liters of paint and 150 liters of Clearcoat.

The new Clearcoat technology, used by LATAM, will also reduce each aircraft’s impact on the environment through the weight savings.  It is estimated that the new technology will achieve a reduction in the group’s CO2 emissions of 3,900 tons per year.

Supermajority of States Bans Powdered Alcohol

0
Alcohol Justice reports that a super-majority of states now ban powdered alcohol and California may soon be next.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 28, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Alcohol Justice reports that 31 states have now legislated or regulated complete bans on powdered alcohol, and California is well on the way to do the same. Today, the California Assembly unanimously passed AB 1554 (Irwin, D–Thousand Oaks). A companion bill (SB 819, Huff, R– San Dimas) unanimously passed the Senate last month. To date, 113 out of 120 California legislators have voted for a powdered alcohol ban.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110727/DC41105LOGO

“We hope California will be state number 32 to ‘just say no’ to another stupid alcohol product that will appeal to kids,” said Bruce Lee Livingston, Executive Director / CEO of Alcohol Justice.  “Now that both California bills banning powdered alcohol have passed their house of origin, we expect them to sail forward, combine, and get to Governor Brown for a quick signature.”

Last March, Alcohol Justice requested emergency legislative action nationwide in response to news that the U.S. Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau (TTB) had approved labels for the powdered alcohol product, Palcohol. The TTB approval gave a green light for the tax rates and labels, allowing states to allow the product, regulate or ban.

Since then, new laws have been passed in 31 states to prohibit the possession, purchase, sale, offer for sale, distribution, manufacture, or use of powdered alcohol. Most states make the violation of these provisions punishable with fines. There are ten states that have legislation in the pipeline to ban the products. There are only three states that allow sales.

In California, Alcohol Justice-cosponsored Assembly Bill 1554 which along with an SB 819 will create a comprehensive pre-emptive stop to a chilling litany of health and safety concerns associated with powdered or crystalline alcohol.

“Powdered alcohol is a dangerous product that has been designed and marketed as a way to make super-charged cocktails on the go. Binge drinking and alcohol related deaths are already a huge problem in California and adding powdered alcohol to the mix is a recipe for disaster,” said Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin (D-Thousand Oaks), author of AB 1554. “Today’s vote reflects the overwhelming, bi-partisan support behind the powdered alcohol ban and I applaud my colleagues for taking decisive action to protect public health.”

“Powdered Alcohol has a high potential to attract youth with its convenience, fruity flavors and portability,” stated Dr. Jim Kooler, spokesperson for California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA), and Administrator of the California Friday Night Live Partnership and the California Center for Youth Development and Health Promotion. “Young people who begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence and are two and half times more likely to become abusers of alcohol than those who being drinking at age 21.”

“We continue to agree with New York Senator Chuck Schumer who said Palcohol will become the ‘Kool-Aid’ of teenage binge drinking and will lead to acute alcohol poisoning and death,” stated Livingston. “We are grateful to the states that have placed public health and safety above commerce. We will continue to encourage elected leaders in states that have yet to take action to do so to keep the powdered alcohol threat out of their states as well,” added Livingston.
