The fifth season of “Sea Rescue” continues to showcase the touching and inspirational stories of marine animal rescue, rehabilitation and return to the wild by the animal care teams at SeaWorld^® and other partner organizations. Hosted by Matt Gutman, this season’s stories include rescue efforts from several different oil spills, 20 manatees trapped in a storm drain and a pelican that landed in the middle of a busy highway.

An entire episode will be devoted to the work of rescue teams up and down the coast of California, including SeaWorld San Diego. Thousands of sea lions stranded this year due to starvation and exhaustion. The rescue and rehabilitation efforts of this mass stranding required flying additional zoological staff in from other SeaWorld parks.

The third season of “The Wildlife Docs“ once again highlights the dedicated veterinarians and animal care specialists at Busch Gardens^®Tampa Bay. Host Rachel Reenstra takes viewers behind the scenes with these skilled professionals to experience the life-enriching daily wellness, preventative health programs and groundbreaking medical procedures. This season’s highlights include an annual check-up on a rock hyrax, a small African cat with skin allergies, and caring for an injured Nile crocodile. Viewers also will see veterinarians working in the field with American martens in Michigan and sloths in Panama.

“The entire SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment family is proud of the great television both Sea Rescue and The Wildlife Docs provide,” said Anthony Esparza, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment Chief Creative Officer. “These series showcase our passion for wildlife and conservation and we hope that they inspire viewers to take action and make a difference in their own backyard.”

Sea Rescue and The Wildlife Docs both average 1.4 million viewers each weekend.

Mexico’s Morelos-3 Satellite Successfully Launched by Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services

October 2, 2015

CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION, Florida, Oct. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) Commercial Launch Services today successfully launched the Morelos-3 satellite for Mexico’s Ministry of Communications and Transportation. At 6:28 a.m. EDT, a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 421 rocketed into space from Space Launch Complex 41, carrying Mexico’s next-generation communications satellite into orbit.

The launch marks ULA‘s 100th mission since the company was formed in late 2006 and the 57th Atlas V launch since the vehicle’s inaugural mission in 2002.

Morelos-3 will join the country’s existing Mexsat constellation as its primary telecommunications satellite, helping to bring end-to-end communications support to areas of national security, civil and humanitarian efforts.

“The quality and reliability of the Atlas V is unparalleled, and today it delivered on a critical step toward bringing next-generation mobile telecommunications services to Mexico,” said Steve Skladanek, president of Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services. “The placement of Morelos-3 into orbit is vital to an effective Mexsat constellation, and partnering with ULA, we were able to help the customer achieve that mission.”

The capabilities of an integrated Mexsat system will enhance Mexico’s disaster relief efforts, emergency services, telemedicine, rural education and telecommunications access for populations in remote locations of Mexico. Support in these areas is instrumental to positioning the country for infrastructure maintainability and future growth.

“The successful placement Morelos-3 into orbit is tremendous news for Mexico,” said Omar Charfen, Mexsat program director general. “Now, we can begin to use Morelos-3 to expand the already robust capabilities of our Mexsat communications network.”

Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Lockheed Martin Corporation, markets the Atlas V to commercial satellite customers worldwide and also offers Athena launch services for small satellites and multi-payload RideShare missions. The company is responsible for contracts, marketing, sales and mission management for commercial and international government Atlas V missions and all Athena missions.

NYC Hispanic Gen-Xers and Boomers Financially Stressed: AARP Survey

October 2, 2015

NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — One-third of New York City’s Hispanic Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers say they don’t think they will ever be able to stop working for money, saying high debt, housing affordability and healthcare are hampering their ability to save, according to a new survey of Hispanic city voters commissioned by AARP.

The survey also found that Hispanics will be a large part of a looming “Gen-Xodus,” with a staggering 71 percent of Hispanic Gen-X voters saying they’re at least somewhat likely to move out of New York in retirement along with 48 percent of Hispanic Baby Boomers – that is, if they even have enough money to retire. In comparison, 66 percent of the total population of Gen-Xers, and 56 percent of Boomers say they may flee the city.

As Gen-Xers started turning 50 this year, AARP conducted its first city survey of the generation, High Anxiety: NYC Gen-X and Boomers Struggle with Stress, Savings and Security. AARP then created a supplemental report, High Anxiety: NYC Hispanic Gen-X and Boomers Struggle with Stress, Savings and Security, to take a deeper look at what is driving the financial stress of Hispanics in the city. The report is available in English and Spanish.

The poll of 800 city voters, split between Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers, found that while financial anxiety is high among Gen-Xers and Boomers of all races and ethnicities, Hispanics in those age cohorts are feeling financial insecurities more widely.

Compared to the total Gen-X and Boomer voters in New York City, Hispanic voters are more likely to experience obstacles to saving, particularly due to health care needs (60% Hispanic vs. 46% total), family caregiving (50% vs. 36%) and paying debt (56% vs. 44%).

Hispanics also report lower rates of retirement savings accounts (48% vs. 62%); and larger shares among them are extremely to very concerned about affordable housing (52% vs. 36%).

Other findings:

79% of Hispanic Gen-Xers and 68% of Hispanic Boomers worry about not saving enough.
76% of Hispanic Gen-Xers are either current or expected future borrowers of student debt; 77% of borrowers say these loans make it even harder to save for retirement.
71% of Hispanic Gen-Xers and Boomers worry about being able to afford the rent or mortgage in the coming years.
One-third of Hispanic Gen-Xers do not expect to receive any Social Security income at all (vs. 12% of Hispanic Boomers).

Gen-Xers are the first generation to approach retirement age with a new playbook, having lived the entirety of their working years during the rise of 401k plans and a shift away from traditional pension plans.

“These survey results should serve as an alarm that we to need find solutions that can help ease the financial pressures that Hispanic New Yorkers are facing, while also helping them to access savings vehicles through their employers that can help them build retirement savings,” said Yvette Martinez, Associate State Director for Hispanic Outreach at AARP New York.

“Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers have more in common than one might have guessed if they live in New York City,” said Beth Finkel, State Director of AARP in New York State. “Neither generation thinks they can afford to retire in the city.”

The survey, and independent research, show coming retirement savings troubles among both Gen-Xers and Boomers citywide. The average 401(k) account balance in New York was only $30,811 as of last year, according to the National Institute on Retirement Security – which found that in 2013 the average American household had just $3,000 in total assets in savings, and just $12,000 for those nearing retirement.

Among private sector Hispanic workers age 18 to 64 in the state of New York, two-thirds (67%) are not covered by a workplace retirement plan – more than any other racial or ethnic group.

Yet the survey found 60% of city Gen-Xers and 46% of Boomers who are in the labor force and confident they’ll be able to retire say they plan to stop working by age 65, revealing a retirement “reality gap.”

The survey was released at a panel discussion today in Manhattan. Assemblyman Marcos A. Crespo delivered the keynote address, and Angela Houghton, AARP senior research advisor and chief survey architect, presented the findings and joined panelists Pablo Bianchi, a Certified Financial Planner, Samantha Paz, Director of Health Advocacy at the Hispanic Federation, and Beth Finkel, AARP New York State Director to discuss the implications of the study. The panel was moderated by Angel Vasquez, Marketing Manager at El Diario La Prensa.

Aeromexico Signs Agreement with Mexico Carbon Platform, MEXICO2, to Invest in Carbon Projects

October 2, 2015

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today Aeromexico signed an agreement with the independent platform for trading carbon credits called MEXICO₂, to purchase Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), also known as carbon credits, for national projects certified under international standards.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130315/MX77534LOGO

MEXICO₂ facilitates the purchase and sale of CERs and supports offsetting emissions, thereby guaranteeing the transparency of transactions in the voluntary carbon market.

“The global aviation industry is responsible for two percent of all CO₂ emissions from the use of fossil fuels, and this figure could grow to three percent by 2050. Signing this agreement with MEXICO₂, means that Aeromexico has adopted the International Aviation Transport Association (IATA) guidelines to offset carbon emissions, based on the commitment set in 2005 for carbon-neutral growth by 2020 with 50% reduction by 2050 relative to 2005 levels,” said MEXICO₂director Eduardo Piquero.

In signing this agreement, Aeromexico, and its passengers join one of the best international practices for environmental protection offsetting part of their annual air emissions. A percentage of the sum collected will be provided directly by the airline with another amount supplied by its customers. The full amount will be used to acquire carbon credits from renewable energy and methane capture projects through MEXICO₂.

“The acquisition of carbon credits represents an excellent opportunity for us to contribute to the fight against climate change, as part of our concern for environmental protection. As the leading airline in the Mexican aviation industry, Aeromexico is fully committed to participating in actions that produce a positive impact on the environment,” said the airline’s CHRO Sergio Allard.

Offsetting emissions by buying carbon credits is just one of the actions listed in the reorganization document for Aeromexico’s “Fly Green” program launched in November 2013. Its primary objective is to raise environmental awareness and reduce CO₂ emissions while offering customers a new way to travel by reducing the environmental impact of flying.

In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), our investment in carbon credits supports the reuse of Mexico’s natural resources and the sustainable development of its economy as this encourages innovation and motivates companies to care for our planet.

Mexico’s financial exchange, Bolsa Mexican de Valores (Grupo BMV) and the Mexico Carbon Platform, MEXICO₂, recognize that Aeromexico is a company committed to the fight against climate change, and interested in preserving best practices and engaging its customers in this effort that involves us all.

About MEXICO₂
The Mexico Carbon Platform, MEXICO₂, is an initiative that responds to the needs of the country in the face of climate change. It proposes an efficient mechanism that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by supporting projects intended to protect and increase the country’s natural and social resources. MEXICO₂ is the first effort in the creation of a voluntary carbon market that supports the transition of Mexico and its business corporations towards a greener economy. MEXICO₂ was created as a market initiative collectively sponsored by the Mexican Stock Exchange and SIF ICAP, the British Embassy in Mexico, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), the National Forestry Commission (CONAFOR), and the National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change (INECC).

The sixth annual Mary Kay 'Truth About Abuse' survey explores how Americans' understanding of domestic violence is changing. Visit marykay.com/dontlookaway for the full survey results and more resources to recognize the signs of an abusive relationship and how to take action.

DALLAS, Oct. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Awareness isn’t enough to stop abuse. Today Mary Kay released the results of its sixth annual Truth About Abuse survey revealing that Americans’ awareness of domestic violence is on the rise. The survey also reveals Americans believe increased education on healthy relationships can make a difference and millennials show confidence that the U.S. can end domestic abuse for the next generation.

“This year’s Truth About Abuse survey showcases meaningful progress and highlights real opportunities to combat violence against women. Today, 1 in 2 male millennials believe domestic abuse can be eliminated in America. That is a powerful and very hopeful statistic,” said Crayton Webb, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility for Mary Kay Inc. “With increased awareness and earlier education, we can help prevent abuse and ultimately end domestic violence by teaching kids about healthy relationships from an early age.”

Highlights from the survey include:

It’s personal: 65% of those surveyed have experienced domestic abuse, experiencing it themselves or through someone they know
Awareness is on the rise: 53% of those surveyed say their understanding of domestic violence has improved in the past five years
Equipped to help: 71% feel confident that they would know what to do if someone they know is in an abusive relationship
From awareness to action: 1 in 2 say they would intervene if someone they knew was in a verbally or physically abusive relationship

“It is heartening to see that Americans are becoming more aware and invested in the issue of domestic violence,” said Brian Pinero, Chief Programs Officer at The National Domestic Violence Hotline and loveisrespect. “However, many are still struggling to recognize the signs of abuse and more education is needed to ensure that adults and teens are building healthy relationships.”

In partnership with loveisrespect, the 2015 Mary Kay Truth About Abuse Survey aims to explore how Americans’ understanding of domestic violence is changing, and gauge attitudes with respect to this evolving issue. One thousand men and women nationwide participated in the online survey Sept. 3-11, 2015, sharing their insights and stories on the issue of domestic violence.

The 2015 survey is part of Mary Kay’s “Don’t Look Away” campaign which works to educate the public on recognizing the signs of an abusive relationship, how to take action and to raise awareness for support services. To date, Mary Kay Inc. and The Mary Kay Foundation^SM have given $50 million to domestic violence prevention and awareness programs in an effort to end the cycle of abuse.
