Burlington Stores Donate $1.16 Million to WomenHeart Resulting from Burlington’s 4th Annual Red Dress Event 

Burlington and WomenHeart’s partnership expands education, awareness and support for women living with and at risk for heart disease nationwide


WASHINGTON, May 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease announced today a generous donation of $1.16 million from the national off-price retailer Burlington Stores and its customers which will advance its mission of providing vital free education and support services to women living with or at risk for heart disease – the nation’s leading cause of death in women. Since February 2012, Burlington and its customers have donated more than $4 million to WomenHeart, the nation’s first and still only patient centered organization devoted to advancing women’s heart health. The four year partnership has resulted in the significant expansion of education, awareness and free patient support services nationwide for women living with or at risk for heart disease, the leading cause of death in women.

As in years past, Burlington customers nationwide had the opportunity to donate $1 or more at check-out for WomenHeart to continue its life-saving work to educate and support women living with heart disease in communities throughout the country. Burlington also donated $1 for each dress purchased, up to $25,000, to support WomenHeart’s mission.

Additionally, this year, WomenHeart and Burlington established The Heart of Fitness Tour – a free fitness and health screening event held at 10 select Burlington locations throughout the month of February, American Heart Health Awareness Month. The Tour offered a complimentary fitness class, heart health screening, provided heart health educational materials and hosted WomenHeart Champions – women heart disease survivors who helped to raise awareness of heart disease as the leading cause of death in women and empowered women to take charge of their heart health.

“We sincerely appreciate the commitment of Burlington and their customers to women’s heart health, and for making the program possible again this year,” said Mary McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of WomenHeart. “There is an urgent need to educate all women about their risk factors and to encourage them to make healthy lifestyle changes, and especially those most at risk. We know that women throughout the country also appreciate Burlington’s efforts to provide these free health screening so that they can become better educated and take control of their heart health.”

The heart health screenings, as part of the Heart of Fitness Tour, revealed that more than two thirds of women screened had a Body Mass Index of 24.9, an indicator that they are at increased risk for heart disease. The vast majority of screening participants were Latina, a population already identified at higher risk for heart disease. This finding is consistent with research that indicates that 70% of Latinas have at least one risk factor for heart disease, and only 37% of Latinas recognize heart disease as their leading health threat. The heart health screenings, consisting of blood pressure screening, waist circumference measurement, and risk factor questionnaire, also quickly made customers aware of their risks for cardiovascular disease and they were provided with important life-saving educational information so they could act quickly to take charge of their heart health.

“Burlington, with the help from our generous customers, was pleased to support our fourth annual partnership with WomenHeart,” said Tom Kingsbury, chairman and CEO of Burlington Stores. “We are pleased to have been able to further help educate women about the importance of their heart health, as heart disease is the leading cause of death in women. This year, we were also excited to have launched the Heart of Fitness Tour, providing valuable basic exercise tips to customers nationwide in an effort to help reduce their risk of heart disease.”

Since 2012, funds raised from Burlington Stores has enabled WomenHeart to:

  • launch its Spanish language outreach program – Para la Mujer Hispana – which focuses on reaching Latinas – a population at increased risk for heart disease – with vital heart health messages
  • launch a Spanish language website on www.womenheart.org
  • create a Spanish Red Bag of Courage (educational program) with a distribution of 30,000
  • distribute 75,000 red dress pins – the nationally recognized symbol of women and heart health – with messaging in Spanish
  • distribute 1 million Spanish language bookmarks with signs and symptoms of heart attack
  • enlist bi-lingual cardiologists to support messaging at Burlington store Red Dress events and in the media
  • create Spanish language infographics about women and heart health that are free for download at www.womenheart.org

With the conclusion of the 4th Annual Red Dress Event, WomenHeart looks forward to using funds collected to further expand the translation of heart health information on its website; enhance community outreach to include more Hispanic and African American organizations; increase Red Bag of Courage distribution through these organizations to reach at-risk women; increase the number of Spanish language Support Networks for women living with heart disease, and grow National Hospital Alliance membership to include more hospitals that serve high risk and underserved women.

AXIA Traders Launches Latin America Technology Internship Program


MEXICO CITY, May 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — AXIA Traders today announced the launch of their Latin America Technology Internship Program which will provide real-world early-stage technology venture experience to recent university graduates from Mexico. AXIA is initiating the program with Tec Monterrey, Universidad Iberoamericana and El UNAM, with plans to add seven additional Mexican universities to the program before the end of this year. AXIA will also expand the program to include universities in Central and South America and the Caribbean beginning in 2016.

“Mexico has out-produced USA in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) graduates for nearly 10 years and counting when viewed as a percentage of each country’s population.” says Lawrence McDaniel, AXIA Traders’ country manager in Mexico.  Sean Goforth of Next Coast Media adds, “Per capita Mexico has three times as many engineering graduates as the United States. To Fortune 500 managers, this is no longer much of a secret. After all, engineers at Ford’s Mexico unit filed for more than 40 patents from 2010-2013.”

Mr. McDaniel further explains that one-semester unpaid internships are a graduation prerequisite at nearly all fully accredited Mexican Universities, and across the rest of Latin America as well. “Recent Mexican university graduates naturally have enormous interest in what’s happening in Silicon Valley, Austin, Texas and Boston. Our commercial ties to these US technology markets, combined with our local presence in Mexico City makes us a good host for interns working remotely.”

For U.S. technology companies interested in hiring one of AXIA’s interns for a Spanish Latin American product localization project for example, the process is simple.

  • AXIA vets candidates per the sponsor company’s profile
  • AXIA ensures all minimum academic internship requirements are met
  • AXIA hosts the intern from their Mexico City office
  • THE SPONSOR participates in a weekly 30-minute Skype video performance review session with the student

Nichols. “Fuel cell cars are not vehicles of the future – they’re here now, and we applaud Hyundai for bringing them first to market in California where they are most needed.”

FUEL CELL PRICING AND BENEFITS

The Tucson Fuel Cell lease program remains unchanged for 2016. Customers in the Los Angeles/Orange County region can drive Hyundai’s next-generation Tucson Fuel Cell for just $499 per month for a 36-month term, with a $2,999 down payment. This includes the addition of a remarkable benefit – unlimited complimentary hydrogen refueling and At Your Service Valet Maintenance at no extra cost.

“When we spoke with customers about fuel cell vehicles, many wondered about the cost of hydrogen,” explained Mike O’Brien, vice president, corporate and product planning. “To ease those concerns as the hydrogen refueling network builds out, we decided that covering this cost for these early adopters was appropriate, and consistent with how we like to treat our customers.”

In addition, Tucson Fuel Cell owners will enjoy similar services enjoyed by Hyundai Equus owners, such as At Your Service Valet Maintenance, at no extra cost. Similar to what Equus owners have enjoyed since its introduction in 2010, should a Tucson Fuel Cell require any service, a Hyundai dealer will pick up the vehicle and provide a loan vehicle, then return the car after service to the customer’s home or business, at no charge.

Customers interested in the Tucson Fuel Cell can indicate their interest (the first step in the ordering process) by visiting Hyundai.com. Retail consumers can find availability at three select southern California Hyundai dealers: Win Hyundai in Carson, Tustin Hyundai, and Hardin Hyundai in Anaheim. Availability of the Tucson Fuel Cell will expand to other regions of the U.S. consistent with the accelerating deployment of hydrogen refueling stations.

TUCSON FUEL CELL ADVANTAGES

Hyundai has developed its Tucson Fuel Cell to alleviate some of the range and utility limitations of traditional battery electric vehicles. The Tucson Fuel Cell maintains the day-to-day flexibility of the gasoline-powered Tucson, so that its driver is able to fulfill their transportation needs without range or recharging-time concerns to their lifestyle.

The Tucson Fuel Cell is an advanced electric vehicle – one that creates its own electricity, on-board, from hydrogen. According to the University of California, Irvine Advanced Power and Energy Program’s 2013 study, the hydrogen fuel cell provides comparable total well-to-wheel emissions to a battery electric vehicle. For the Tucson Fuel Cell driver, this social benefit is achieved with greater utility, versatility and without compromises. Consider:

  • Driving range of 265 miles
  • Refueling time similar to gasoline vehicle of same size
  • Minimal reduction in daily utility compared with its gasoline counterpart
  • Instantaneous electric motor torque
  • Minimal cold-weather effects compared with battery-electric vehicles
  • Superb daily reliability and long-term durability
    • No moving parts within the power-generating fuel cell stack
    • More than two million durability test miles on Hyundai’s fuel cell fleet since 2000
  • Extensive crash, fire and leak testing successfully completed
  • Quieter EV operation
  • Zero greenhouse-gas emissions, emits only water vapor

The Tucson Fuel Cell began mass production in February 2013 at the Ulsan, Korea assembly plant that also manufactures the Tucson gasoline-powered CUV. Manufacturing the Tucson Fuel Cell at the same plant allows Hyundai to leverage both the high quality and cost-efficiency of its popular gasoline-powered Tucson platform.

HYDROGEN RENEWABLE ENERGY SOLUTIONS

The benefits of hydrogen are well known – required supplies for the U.S. market can be produced domestically and its supply is virtually unlimited. It can be produced by varied means – including renewable sources such as biogas. Hydrogen can even be sourced directly from water, using electrolysis to split hydrogen molecules with electricity from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.

Further supporting hydrogen infrastructure development, California approved a plan in 2013 to develop up to 100 hydrogen refueling stations in the state over the next several years. This recent California initiative dovetails with increased government support of hydrogen infrastructure development at the federal level, such as H2USA. In addition, the California Energy Commission recently announced proposed awarding of $44.5 million for the development of 28 new hydrogen stations (plus one mobile refueler), bringing the total number of hydrogen fueling stations (open, in-development, and proposed) to over 50 stations.

FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGY: HOW IT WORKS

Hyundai’s fuel cell effectively replaces the battery pack used in an electric vehicle by generating electricity from hydrogen through an electrochemical process that does not involve hydrogen combustion, with no moving parts within the fuel cell stack.

The fuel cell electrochemical process is as follows:

  • Hydrogen enters the anode, air (oxygen) enters the cathode
  • Catalyst splits the hydrogen electrons and protons
  • Electrolyte conducts the positively-charged ions while blocking the electrons
  • Electrons are used to create an external circuit, generating electricity
  • Catalyst combines the hydrogen ions and electrons with oxygen to create water and heat energy
  • A single fuel cell produces approximately one volt; fuel cells are “stacked” to meet voltage requirements

Disneyland Resort Launches Diamond Celebration, Marking 60 Years of Magic with Three New Nighttime Spectaculars

Diamond Celebration Sparkles with Dazzling Entertainment, Decor, Food; Disneyland Diamond Days Sweepstakes Gives Away Daily Prizes
 


ANAHEIM, Calif., May 22, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Disneyland Resort tonight premiered a spectacular new nighttime parade and innovative fireworks-and-projection show for the “Disneyland Diamond Celebration” that marks 60 years of magic at the Happiest Place on Earth.

Tomorrow, the event officially opens to guests, starting with a 24-hour party at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure parks that serves as a kick-off to Diamond Celebration and to the summer family travel season.

For six decades, the Disneyland Resort has explored the frontiers of immersive storytelling and entertainment technology, bringing exciting attractions and inventive entertainment to life for guests from around the world.

“Few companies have both a legendary past as well as a limitless future,” said Bob Iger, chairman and CEO of The Walt Disney Company.  “But we had the great fortune to be founded with a spirit of creativity and innovation — one that continues to define this phenomenal company, allowing us to keep moving forward to meet the future without ever losing sight of who we are and where it all started.  We’re thrilled to usher in Disneyland’s Diamond Anniversary and celebrate the triumph of imagination in a place where dreams really do come true.”

A glittering new parade, new fireworks spectacular and all-new “World of Color” show raise the bar, once again, on creativity and entertainment technology, keeping the Disneyland Resort and its guests forever young.

  • “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. Even the choreography glows, as parade performers light up with their props and costumes.

    Tinker Bell leads the procession in a magical, musical overture, closely followed by a float reminiscent of the giant bass drum that led the classic “Main Street Electrical Parade.” Lightning McQueen races in with his buddy Mack Truck, who makes a hefty impression at 54-feet long, covered from headlights to tail pipe in gleaming light. Anna and Elsa from “Frozen” glide through the night in a shimmering palace of ice and snow.

    Guests also will be delighted to see Cinderella, Rapunzel and beloved characters from tales such as “Monsters, Inc.,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Toy Story,” with Mickey and his pals creating a breathtaking grand finale.

  • “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 will be 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. One minute they will be standing on Main Street, U.S.A., and the next they could be stampeding across Simba’s Pride Lands, dancing with King Louie from “The Jungle Book,” traveling “Under the Sea” with the Little Mermaid, flying over London with Peter Pan, dripping in honey with Pooh in a whimsical dream of heffalumps and woozles, or shivering as Queen Elsa brings a glimmering blanket of snow over Disneyland.

    For the first time in Disneyland fireworks history, Nemo from the Disney•Pixar animated film “Finding Nemo,” will “just keep swimming” in the skies above Sleeping Beauty Castle, as the Matterhorn is transformed into the fiery peak of Mt. Wannahockaloogie, a special monument from that film. Two original songs enrich the show: the “Disneyland Forever” theme “Live the Magic,” and the inspiring closing song “A Kiss Goodnight,” written by another Disney Legend, Richard M. Sherman, and sung by Ashley Brown, star of the Broadway production of “Mary Poppins.” The “stage” for “Disneyland Forever” fireworks will extend from the sky above to the buildings of Main Street, U.S.A., the facade 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 will join 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. Guests will take an inspirational journey through the unparalleled imagination of Walt Disney, exploring his decades-long legacy of memorable animated moments around the world and the dream of Disneyland Park. “World of Color – Celebrate!” reminds guests that, if they never give up on their dreams, anything is possible.

The three, electrifying new shows will premiere on the night of May 22 during the 24-hour party – 6 a.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Saturday, May 23* – along with the many other magical features that will make the Disneyland Resort sparkle as never before during its Diamond Celebration.

Disneyland Diamond Days** – an exciting text-in-for-a-chance-to-win sweepstakes – will award daily and weekly prizes as part of the Diamond Celebration. Weekly prizes include a one-carat, authentic diamond, custom engraved for Disney, paired with a stay in the Disneyland Dream suite; a clear, crystal Cinderella slipper, with a diamond-and-topaz pendant, and private experiences in the park such as a party in Fantasyland or a romantic cruise aboard the Mark Twain Riverboat. The available prize will vary each week.

Daily prizes also will be awarded during the Diamond Celebration, and each daily prize package for that day includes an individualized tour of the parks with dining, preferred access to select attractions, and VIP viewing at some of the dazzling, new nighttime spectaculars.

Daily prize winners must be present on the Disneyland Resort premises at the time of entry and at the time of prize redemption in order to be able to enjoy these special experiences and theme park admission is not necessary to enter or win the sweepstakes.

In addition, Mickey Mouse and some of his friends have dressed up for the celebration in sparkling, new Diamond Celebration costumes, and the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland and Carthay Circle Theatre in Disney California Adventure glisten with gleaming veneer and diamond medallions.

Ingenious new window displays will begin appearing at the Main Street Emporium in Disneyland, providing some additional Diamond Celebration surprises, and even the resort cast members, who help make the magic for every guest, have a bit of extra sparkle in their Diamond Celebration name tags. To add to the fun, Disneyland attractions undergoing regular refurbishments – Haunted Mansion, Matterhorn Bobsleds and the newly re-themed Grizzly Peak Airfield – will reopen with new magic added to the classic experiences. An enhanced Peter Pan’s Flight will open later this summer.

Entertainment, Dining and Shopping Experiences Add to the Celebration

The after-dark “Mad T Party” returns to Disney California Adventure as a dazzling new “Diamond Mad T Party,” featuring sparkling new decor, interactive fun, dancing and delectable food and drink.

Restaurants and food carts in Disneyland and Disney California Adventure offer new drinks and cupcakes specially created for the Diamond Celebration. Later this summer, drinks will be available in “Made with Magic” sippers which light up to accompany the new after-dark shows. Additional “Made with Magic” merchandise items – newly designed ear hats, wands and paint brushes – also will be available for the celebration.

More than 500 special merchandise items have been created for the Diamond Celebration, including apparel, accessories, art, collectibles, headwear, home decor, jewelry, pins, souvenirs, toys and more. They can be found at shops throughout Disneyland Resort, including Disney Showcase and Main Street Emporium in Disneyland, Elias & Co. in Disney California Adventure, World of Disney in the Downtown Disney District and more.
