NHCLC Calls for Complete Defunding of Planned Parenthood & Federal Government Investigation

Condemns Actions of National Organization and Advocates for Life

SACRAMENTO, California, July 19, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In response to the video of a Planned Parenthood doctor discussing the sale of human parts of unborn children, Rev. Samuel Rodriguez and the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) are calling upon the federal government to completely defund Planned Parenthood, launch a federal investigation of the organization’s operations, and consider additional legislation to protect human life.

“The idea of selling the parts of unborn babies is reprehensible and barbaric,” said NHCLC President Rev. Samuel Rodriguez. “We are calling on our elected officials on both sides of the isle to condemn these actions of Planned Parenthood. Not one tax payer’s dollar should ever be allocated towards Planned Parenthood, ever and without exception.”

For over 15 years, the NHCLC has worked to lower the number of abortions in the Hispanic American community. One of its goals is to raise awareness of the intentionality of organizations such as Planned Parenthood specifically targeting Latino and African American communities.

“This ultimately comes down to the fight for respect of life—in every individual born and unborn. We believe that every single person was created in the image of God,” said Rodriquez. “We call all Hispanic evangelicals to rise up and stand for the sanctity of life from the womb to the tomb.”

NHCLC partners with Focus on the Family, works with pregnancy crisis centers across the United States, and runs a restorative outreach program for women who have had abortions in order to educate and minister to its community. As a result of its advocacy for human life, NHCLC also runs an adoption initiative as an alternative to abortions.

NHCLC’s condemnation of Planned Parenthood’s actions stems from its Imago Dei campaign, which upholds that the image of God exists in all human beings, even the unborn.

The foundation of Imago Dei is the statement: “I recognize that every human being, in and out of the womb, carries the image of God – without exception. Therefore, I will treat everyone with love and respect.”

NHCLC/CONEL is the world’s largest Hispanic Christian organization. It serves as a representative voice for the more than 100 million Hispanic Evangelicals assembled in over 40,000 U.S. churches and another 500,000 congregations spread throughout the Spanish-speaking diaspora. The organization seeks to reconcile Evangelist Billy Graham’s message of salvation through Christ with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march of prophetic activism.

Disneyland Resort Celebrates 60th Anniversary; Announces Million Dollar Philanthropic Program Benefitting Local Nonprofits During Diamond Celebration

Mickey Mouse and Friends Mark Anniversary with Guests Dressed ’50s-Style, Celebration Cupcakes; Diamond Celebration Sparkles All Year with
Dazzling New Nighttime Entertainment

ANAHEIM, Calif., July 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Sixty years ago today, Walt Disney dedicated his dream project: Disneyland – a land beyond the boundaries of the motion pictures with which he’d made his reputation, a park where families and guests of all ages could be immersed in worlds of fantasy and adventure.

DAZZLING DAY - Mickey Mouse and his friends celebrate the 60th anniversary of Disneyland park during a ceremony at Sleeping Beauty Castle featuring Academy Award-winning composer, Richard Sherman and Broadway actress and singer Ashley Brown, in Anaheim, Calif. on Friday, July 17. Celebrating six decades of magic, the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration features three new nighttime spectaculars that immerse guests in the worlds of Disney stories like never before.

Today, as part of its Diamond Celebration, the Disneyland Resort honored 60 years of that dream by announcing “Million Dollar Dazzle” at a ceremony at Sleeping Beauty Castle. Each month during the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration, the Million Dollar Dazzle Crew will surprise one or more local nonprofits that exemplify Walt Disney Parks and Resorts’ Better Together philosophy with a $60,000 gift, totaling more than $1 million. Girl Scouts of Orange County was surprised with the first gift earlier today. The funds will support the organization’s Comadres outreach program that helps the Girl Scout experience transcend language and cultural barriers for girls in low-income neighborhoods.

“What makes our Diamond Celebration so special is the opportunity to share even more Disney magic with our guests in the parks, and our neighbors in the community,” said Michael Colglazier, president of the Disneyland Resort. “Our ‘Million Dollar Dazzle’ program proudly supports local organizations that enrich the lives of children and families.”

The ceremony at Sleeping Beauty Castle also included the tradition of playing the recording of Walt Disney’s July 17, 1955 welcome to the first Disneyland guests. Mickey Mouse and all his friends were in attendance, and Disney Legend and Academy Award-winning composer Richard M. Sherman (“Mary Poppins”) was joined by actress and singer Ashley Brown (star of “Mary Poppins” on Broadway) singing “Feed the Birds” and leading Disneyland park guests in singing “Happy Birthday.”

Later in the day, a cavalcade down Main Street, U.S.A., featured current Disneyland Resort cast members along with those who worked at Disneyland in 1955. Guests were invited to show their 1955 Disney side by dressing up ’50s-style in the elegant manner of the guests on Disneyland opening day, and to enjoy special anniversary photo locations and ’50s-inspired entertainment. Large video screens in Disneyland and Disney California Adventure parks and the Downtown Disney District displayed anniversary moments of the day. In addition, all guests were treated to special Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration cupcakes. More than 100,000 were prepared for the occasion.

For six decades, Disneyland Resort has explored the frontiers of interactive storytelling and entertainment technology, bringing exciting attractions and inventive entertainment to life for guests from around the world. The Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration is highlighted by three new nighttime spectaculars that, once again, raise the bar on creativity and entertainment technology to keep the resort and its guests forever young.

Disneyland Lights Up the Night for Diamond Celebration

“Paint the Night – All-New Electrical Parade” – When the lights go down in Disneyland, the Diamond Celebration illuminates the park with a brilliant, new parade. The luminescent parade creates a river of color flowing down Main Street, U.S.A., with an array of Disney characters and more than 1.5 million brilliant LED lights that flash and glow as Mickey Mouse uses his vivid imagination to “Paint the Night.” With dazzling special effects, unforgettable music, energetic performances, fun surprises and spectacular floats, “Paint the Night” is more vibrant than any parade in 60 years at the Disneyland Resort.
“Disneyland Forever,” presented by Honda – The dazzling new fireworks spectacular “Disneyland Forever” is a street-to-sky, immersive experience like nothing seen before at the Disneyland Resort. Guests are surrounded by the worlds of timeless Disney tales, from the tips of their toes to the sky high above, thanks to the largest installation of projection mapping technology in a Disney park and surprising special effects. The “stage” for “Disneyland Forever” fireworks will extend from the sky above to the buildings of Main Street, U.S.A., the façade of “it’s a small world,” the Matterhorn and mist screens along the Rivers of America, with specially designed digital projections offering guests new experiences at each location.
“World of Color – Celebrate! The Wonderful World of Walt Disney” – Award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris joins Mickey Mouse on a magical water canvas to entertain guests in this fun-filled new presentation of the popular, nighttime “World of Color” spectacular in Disney California Adventure. Both epic and intimate in scope, “World of Color – Celebrate!” brings to life the remarkable story of Walt and The Happiest Place on Earth with animated imagery, live-action film, fountains, lasers, special effects and a stirring musical score.

All three of these electrifying new shows are presented nightly, making Disneyland Resort sparkle as never before during its Diamond Celebration.

About the Disneyland Resort

Fruits, Vegetables, and Fresh-Squeezed Juices: Handle Them Safely

Fruits, Vegetables, and Fresh-Squeezed Juices: Handle Them Safely

SILVER SPRING, Md., July 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Summer has arrived – and now is the perfect time to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables from the farm stand, supermarket, or even your own garden! The U.S. Food and Drug Administration reminds you that safe handling of produce and fresh-squeezed juice is especially important during the summer months, because foodborne bacteria multiply faster in warm weather and fresh fruits and vegetables are often consumed raw.

To keep nutritious produce and fresh-squeezed juices safe, follow these food safety tips to prevent food poisoning (also called foodborne illness):

Buy Right

Purchase produce that is not bruised or damaged. When selecting pre-cut produce (such as a half a watermelon or bagged salad greens), choose only those items that are refrigerated or on ice. Bag fresh fruits and vegetables and keep them separate from raw meat, poultry, and seafood in your cart and shopping bags.

Wash Thoroughly

Wash all produce under plain running water before eating, cutting, or cooking, and dry with a clean cloth towel or paper towel to further reduce bacteria that may be present. Scrub firm produce, such as melons and cucumbers, with a clean produce brush. For pre-packaged produce, read the label – if it says pre-washed and ready-to-eat, you can use it without further washing. And even if you plan to peel a fruit or vegetable, it’s important to wash it first so dirt and bacteria aren’t transferred from the outside to the inside.

Prevent Cross Contamination

Wash cutting boards, dishes, utensils, and countertops with soap and hot water between the preparation of raw meat, poultry, and seafood and the preparation of produce that will not be cooked. If you use plastic or other non-porous cutting boards, run them through the dishwasher after use. And always wash hands before and after preparing food!

Prepare Safely

Cut away any damaged or bruised areas on fresh fruits and vegetables before preparing and/or eating. If it looks rotten, discard it!

Store Properly

Keep perishable fresh fruits and vegetables in a clean refrigerator at 40 degrees F or below, separated from raw meat, poultry, and seafood. Always refrigerate produce that is purchased pre-cut or peeled.

Check Your Juice

Children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems (such as transplant patients and individuals with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and diabetes) risk serious illnesses or even death from drinking juices that have not been pasteurized or otherwise treated to control harmful bacteria. Look for pasteurized or otherwise treated products in your grocers’ refrigerated sections, frozen food cases, or in non-refrigerated containers, such as juice boxes, bottles, or cans. Untreated juices sold in refrigerated cases of grocery or health food stores, cider mills, and farmers’ markets must contain a warning label indicating that the product has not been pasteurized. Warning labels are not required for juice or cider that is fresh-squeezed and sold by the glass. If you are unsure if a juice product is pasteurized – be sure to ask!

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., July 16, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — To meet the unique financial demands of special needs families and caregivers, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) has partnered with the American College to found the MassMutual Center for Special Needs in Bryn Mawr, Pa. The $2.5 million investment by MassMutual establishes the first academic center of its kind, serving as a national leader in preparing financial services professionals to help advocate for and secure the future of individuals with special needs and their families.

Among the Hispanic population alone, over one-third of households report having at least one caretaker, according to 2008 research from Caregiving.org, and 84 percent of Hispanics who are providing care believe their role is an expectation within their upbringing.

The Easter Seals Many faces of Caregiving Study sponsored by MassMutual and conducted by Impulse Research Corp. shows the state of caregiving in the United States is changing. Today’s caretakers are young, and 90 percent are unpaid, according to those surveyed. Seventy-six percent have concerns about becoming a caregiver, including financial impact and increased anxiety. They are not trained professionals; many live in multigenerational households. Over three-quarters provide care to a parent, child, spouse or grandparent.

“MassMutual is committed to providing caregivers essential resources to become confident in their financial futures,” said Joanne Gruszkos, director of MassMutual’s SpecialCare^SM program. “Caregivers are responsible not only for their own future, but also for their dependent’s financial future.”

For the past ten years, MassMutual’s SpecialCare^SM Program has helped families develop life-care plans* for their loved ones with special needs. MassMutual’s SpecialCare Planning Teams have built Community Resource Networks across the country to provide families with financial education and a network of care providers specializing in everything from educational seminars on life-care planning to horseback riding therapy. In May, MassMutual also received the Team Hoyt Award from Easter Seals for its efforts to empower individuals with disabilities.

MassMutual offers the following tips for new caregivers:

A team approach – Seek trusted advisors who have the special needs experience and are willing to guide you through the important financial decisions that affect your entire family.
A caregiver and a letter of intent – Identify the person who will care for your loved one and draft a letter of intent that will serve as a guide for that person to provide care, support and other assistance after you are gone.
Long-term expenses – Plan ahead for expenses such as housing, education, work opportunities and daily transportation when determining your loved one’s lifetime financial needs.
Availability of government benefits – Research the benefits that are provided by the federal government for families affected by special needs. You may qualify for assistance.
A will in place – Make sure you have beneficiary arrangements and a current will that align with your other planning strategies.

Contact a local financial professional** for more personalized information to create a stronger plan to address the future financial needs of you and your family.

*A Life Care Plan is a coordinated program of future care planning, financial and legal strategies for people with disabilities and their families. A Life Care Plan continually changes throughout an individual’s lifetime and is provided by a team that may include a legal and tax advisor, as well as an insurance and investment professional.

**No one professional can provide everything a family needs. An integrated team comprised of an attorney, CPA and others, such as social workers and caregivers, in addition to a financial professional who specializes in working with special needs, all working together is the best way to serve the client. We recommend working with professionals who are qualified, experienced and involved in the area of special needs.

The survey was conducted January 2015 online with a random sample of 1043 men and women ages 25-49. The overall sampling error rate for this survey is +/-3% at the 95% level of confidence.

Mary Kay Independent Sales Force Convenes In Dallas Bringing $30 Million Economic Impact For Annual Seminar

One of the Largest Events in North Texas Serves as an Opportunity to Give Back

DALLAS, July 16, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — It’s a familiar sound in North Texas in mid-July – thousands of clicking high heels and roaring pink Cadillacs as more than 27,000 attendees convene in Dallas during Mary Kay’s annual Seminar. The event, running July 16 through Aug. 1, is comprised of five back-to-back conferences and is one of the largest events in North Texas based on attendance, economic impact and hotel room nights.

More than 27,000 attendees convene in Dallas for Mary Kay's annual Seminar. The event, comprised of five back-to-back conferences, recognizes and rewards the successes of Mary Kay's independent sales force while delivering $30 million in economic impact to North Texas.

According to the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau, Mary Kay Seminar will pump more than $30 million into the local economy and contribute to 2,200 jobs in the Dallas area this year. Mary Kay has hosted its Seminar at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas since 1974, making it the longest running annual event at the facility.

“Coming off the heels of three record-breaking years in sales growth to become a $4 billion company, Seminar is an exciting time for Mary Kay and remains one of our most important company events with both new and long-time independent sales force members,” said Laura Beitler, Mary Kay Vice President of Recognition and Events. “Women of all ages and backgrounds continue to enjoy the freedom and flexibility of a Mary Kay business with more than 200,000 new Mary Kay independent businesses started in the U.S. this year.”

While the convention is traditionally known for recognizing and motivating Mary Kay’s Independent Beauty Consultants, it also serves as an opportunity for the global cosmetic giant’s independent sales force to give back to communities nationwide. From assembling care kits at the convention center for domestic violence shelters across the country to donating professional clothing for women in need, Mary Kay independent sales force members are not only bringing a hefty economic impact to North Texas through local spending but also their compassion to help others.

“At Mary Kay, we are a company with heart and our independent sales force is an extension of that philosophy which has been a driving force since Mary Kay Ash founded her company in 1963,” said Crayton Webb, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility. “During this year’s Seminar, we are proud to share our new, award-winning public service announcement series, “One in Four” as one of the most recent elements of Mary Kay’s Don’t Look Away campaign aimed at helping to prevent and end the epidemic of domestic violence. Additionally, our recent $1.25 million commitment to loveisrespect will continue to fund the nation’s only text-for-help platform for dating abuse prevention and education. Alongside our independent sales force, we continue to make a tangible impact while supporting the company’s mission of enriching women’s lives.”

The theme for Seminar, “Discover What You Love^SM,” invites Mary Kay’s independent sales force to discover what helps them feel beautiful, confident and connected while pursuing their Mary Kay business. During this year’s event, more than $5 million in recognition and prizes will be awarded including the newest addition to the Mary Kay career car fleet, a black BMW 320i and the coveted Mary Kay pink Cadillac.
