As an authentic Mexican brand that is synonymous with traditional Mexican cooking, HERDEZ® promotes and celebrates the preservation of Mexican heritage, culture and tradition. Día de los Muertos is a customary holiday that parallels the authenticity of the brand.

Día de los Muertos is a two-day commemorative celebration that takes place every Nov. 1 and 2 in Mexico. The holiday honors and celebrates the past and after-life of the deceased. It encompasses the belief that spirits of the deceased are reunited with their families. Families provide offerings so that in turn the spirits provide protection and wisdom. Gestures of honor include praying and sharing stories of their beloved while gathered around altars. The altars are embellished with candles, treats, flowers (marigolds), sugar skulls, photos and personal memorabilia.

This year, the makers of the HERDEZ® brand will celebrate the holiday larger than ever. In support of the holiday and the artwork that is representative of it, the HERDEZ® brand is kicking things off with a T-shirt design contest for all Los Angeles-based artists in August, followed by a face painting contest for the entire HERDEZ® social media community in October. The brand will also be a proud sponsor of the Día de los Muertos gala hosted by MOLAA on October 25, 2014 in Long Beach, CA.

“Art is a timeless, valuable element of Mexican culture, especially during this unique and colorful holiday of Día de los Muertos,” said Gilberto Gutierrez, senior brand manager at MegaMex Foods, LLC. “Through art, death can be depicted as a celebratory process of life, allowing us to perceive death as something sweet and peaceful, not bitter and depressing.”

The T-shirt contest is open to all LA artists, accepting submissions Aug. 19, 2014 through Sept. 14, 2014. The goal of the contest is to find a one-of-a-kind piece of art that is representative of this vibrant holiday. Artwork submitted should capture and convey the essence of the holiday through vitality, mystery and originality. The winning artwork will be featured as the signature 2014 HERDEZ® brand Día de los Muertos t-shirt design. The winner will receive a cash prize of $1,000 and have their artwork displayed at MOLAA. T-shirts will be on sale throughout the month of Oct., with all proceeds benefitting the museum. For details about the contest, visit http://www.herdeztraditions.com/tshirt-design-contest.

It’s a New Day for Data for American Consumers

Sprint Doubles the Data

Sprint introduces new shared data plans that offer double the high-speed data at the same or lower price as compared to AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless

For a Family up to 10 lines, get 20GB of Shared Data and Unlimited Talk & Text for only $100 a month

It really doesn’t matter if your family is 3, 5, or 10 people, you will get at least 20GB of shared data and your monthly charge will be $100

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — It’s a new day for data in the wireless industry as Sprint (NYSE: S) announces the Sprint Family Share Pack – a new shared-data plan that offers double the high-speed data at a lower price than AT&T and Verizon Wireless.

Consumers today are using wireless data at an exponentially increasing pace and expect data to be a part of their lives – whether they are using Facetime, connecting with friends on Facebook, uploading pictures on Instagram, or sharing them on Snapchat. Wireless customers, however, are frustrated by low data allowances with immediate data overages and complicated monthly bills. Now after rolling out its network improvements, Sprint can end these frustrations and provide the best value for consumers with the introduction of the Sprint Family Share Pack.

The Sprint Family Share Pack, offering double the high-speed shareable data¹ for smartphones, basic phones, tablets and mobile broadband devices, will be available starting Aug. 22. For example you can get four lines and 20GB of data for $160 compared to 10GB of data for the same price from AT&T or Verizon.

But wait, there’s more. To kick off Sprint’s “new day for data” campaign, Sprint is offering a limited-time promotion for the Sprint Family Share Pack: For a family with up to 10 lines, get 20GB of Shared Data and Unlimited Talk & Text for only $100 a month through 2015² – and, as an added bonus, customers will get an additional 2GB per line for up to 10 lines. For a family of four, that’s a savings of $60 per month better than AT&T’s and Verizon’s current pricing through 2015; double the data of Verizon; and more than double the high-speed data of AT&T and T-Mobile.

For example:

“Sprint is offering the best value to data-hungry consumers. Period,” said Marcelo Claure, Sprint CEO. “We are doubling the high-speed wireless data because today’s customers rely so much on their smartphones and tablets. We make it simple and easy for wireless consumers to get the data they need at affordable prices to make their lives easier, more productive and enjoyable. We are so certain that this is the best value on wireless today that for any customer who wants to switch to our new Sprint Family Share Pack, we will reimburse them for the cost to end their contract with another carrier.”

Sprint Family Share Pack – How it Works
Sprint is changing the wireless industry with this plan that provides consumers value and flexibility, plus unlimited talk and text.

Customers can build their own plan in three easy steps as shown below. First, choose the data allowance.

Limited-time Promotion for Customers Switching to Sprint Family Share Pack
In addition, for a limited time, for customers who bring their number and activate on the Sprint Family Share Pack, Sprint will buy out their families’ contracts with a Visa Prepaid Card worth up to $350 ². This switching offer will be available at Sprint stores and Sprint Telesales.

With the limited-time promotion, Sprint is waiving the data access charge for handsets, tablets and mobile broadband devices on 20GB or higher data allowances for up to 10 lines. To qualify for the offer customers must switch their number from another carrier to Sprint.³All devices must be purchased through Sprint Easy Pay.

The Sprint Share Pack gives wireless customers a good reason to come to Sprint, but the company is not done making bold moves, Claure said.

“Simply put, we are offering the best deal on shared data,” Claure said. “We have more news coming later this week about plans for individuals. We want customers to think twice before choosing another wireless carrier.”

America’s Newest Network
The Sprint Family Share Pack comes as Sprint already has built its 4G LTE network to serve more than 255 million people, with more on the way.

“Customers are seeking a strong network experience, and at a good value,” said Rich Karpinski, Principal Analyst at 451 Research. “The price and amount of sharable data associated with this new Sprint offering plays to that next wave of mobile demand.”

In addition to Sprint’s all new 3G network and its 4G LTE network, Sprint is deploying Sprint Spark, a technology offering turbo data speeds and designed to support a new generation of online gaming, virtual reality, advanced cloud services and other applications requiring very high bandwidth.

Available today in 27 markets across the country, Sprint Spark is an enhanced LTE service that’s built for data and designed to deliver average wireless speeds of 6-15Mbps and peak wireless speeds of 50-60Mbps today on capable devices, with increasing speed potential over time. Sprint plans to reach 100 million Americans by year-end with the service.

United Soybean Board Builds A Digital Time Capsule Honoring Hispanic Family Traditions

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The United Soybean Board (USB) invites Hispanic families to pick up the camera and record a short video of their family making their favorite traditional recipes. To celebrate keepsake traditions and great tasting recipes, USB launched a virtual library where families share the rich history behind beloved food dishes. Participants will have the opportunity to have their special customs videos honored in the Soy Connection Digital Time Capsule. Entries will be accepted until September 30, 2014 at www.soyconnection.com/hispanictraditions.php.

Nearly two-thirds of Hispanics say they follow Hispanic traditions when preparing food[1]. USB is proud to highlight the role soybean oil plays in heritage recipes. Entrants can share the heritage videos on their Facebook page, and select submissions will earn bragging rights by being featured in the Digital Time Capsule. USB’s Soy Connection Digital Time Capsule offers a unique opportunity to showcase treasured recipes, fun memories and cherished traditions tied to meal preparation in Hispanic homes.

“Though most may not know it, soybean oil has been a long-standing staple of Hispanic menus,” said Lorena Drago, registered dietitian, certified diabetes educator and consultant to USB. “As most vegetable oil is actually 100% soybean oil, it is one of the most versatile ingredients in the kitchen and becomes an essential part of everyday cooking.”

As 86% of Hispanics believe eating together as a family maintains unity, perpetuating cooking traditions has become an act of love[2]. Documenting and saving favorite family recipes in the Soy Connection Digital Capsule promotes the preservation of Hispanic traditions. You may also discover a nutritious truth about a core ingredient in your favorite recipe. Soybean oil has virtually no flavor or aroma which allows for prominent recipe flavors, and is ideal for showcasing the authentic taste of Hispanic cuisine.

About USB

The 70 farmer-directors of USB oversee the investments of the soy checkoff to maximize profit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers. These volunteers invest and leverage checkoff funds to increase the value of U.S. soy meal and oil, to ensure U.S. soybean farmers and their customers have the freedom and infrastructure to operate, and to meet the needs of U.S. soy’s customers.

A New Survey of In-Home Family Caregivers Reveals Challenges and Rewards of Caregiving

A New Survey of In-Home Family Caregivers Reveals Challenges and Rewards of Caregiving

Clorox^® CareConcepts™ Identifies the Emotional Impact of Caregiving as Part of the When Care Comes Home Initiative and its New Cleaning and Personal Homecare Products

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire – HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Caregivers often put the needs of their loved ones before themselves, and over time that selflessness has an impact – both inspirational and challenging. Eighty percent of caregivers believe that their role has given them more meaning in their lives, but most of them have also felt exhausted (85 percent), frustrated (82 percent) and overwhelmed (79 percent), according to the “When Care Comes Home” survey[1] conducted by Clorox^® CareConcepts™ and the Caregiver Action Network (CAN).

While 66 million Americans face the challenges of the caregiving role, they often feel alone in their struggles. This led to the “When Care Comes Home” survey, which is a new study that explores the emotional effects of caregiving and shows how many families are in it together.

“We’ve participated in numerous studies of caregivers, but we are exceptionally pleased with this report because it re-enforces the hardships we often hear caregivers endure and it helps us to better understand the unique challenges and rewards of being a caregiver,” said John Schall, CEO of CAN.

Taking care of a loved one at home is never easy and can become a full-time job in itself, as one in five caregivers (21 percent) spend more than 40 hours a week caring for their loved one. Caregivers say that their role affects their mental health (38 percent), physical health (37 percent) and finances (41 percent). More than half of caregivers report feeling helpless (59 percent), isolated (54 percent), confused (54 percent) and alone (53 percent). However, while this can be tough enough to make anyone want to quit, caregivers shine a light on the positive feelings and experiences that surface. Nine out of 10 caregivers have felt needed (95 percent), thankful (93 percent), appreciated (91 percent) and important (88 percent). Two-thirds of caregivers believe that their role is a gift (66 percent).

When Care Comes Home
Nearly half (44 percent) of all caregivers admit it is difficult to find practical information to help guide them in their role, whether it is new to them or has evolved with their loved one’s condition. Clorox CareConcepts is removing that obstacle by launching the website When Care Comes Home, complete with supportive tools and products to help empower those caring for a loved one. Caregivers will find links to well-respected partners, such as Family Caregivers Alliance (FCA) and CAN, as well as educational content. Through the Clorox^® Care Council, a panel of caregivers, advocates and experts on WhenCareComesHome.com, caregivers can find a community offering guidance, perspective and encouragement.

“Understanding the challenges that caregivers endure, we knew it was important and imperative to create this resource featuring helpful information, personal insights and inspiring stories for those who are in this journey together, no matter the illness or disability that binds them,” said Shaunte Mears-Watkins, associate director of marketing for Clorox CareConcepts.

When The Caregiving Community Comes Together
In conjunction with Family Caregivers Alliance (FCA) and CAN, Clorox CareConcepts is bringing the caregiving communities together in Chicago, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., by hosting special evenings that will celebrate and honor them. While it’s just a short break from their caregiving duties, the night off will include pampering activities, a private screening of “A Sacred Journey,” a documentary by filmmaker Ernesto Quintero that will hit close to home for all who care for a loved one, and a panel discussion among the experts and caregivers on When Care Comes Home, exploring the challenges and inspirational moments it brings.

When Caring Gets Easier
Clorox brings more than 100 years of expertise to Clorox CareConcepts, its new collection of cleaning and personal care products for the at-home caregiver and the only line that offers easy-to-use Caregiving Starter Kits to help provide all the care loved ones deserve and the help caregivers need to return to a new state of normal. The products were developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals to address common home caregiving needs. They are simple solutions to help caregivers provide quality care with confidence to their loved ones.

The “When Care Comes Home” survey found that cleanliness is very important to those in the caregiving role (85 percent), but more than one in three caregivers report that it is confusing to select cleaning and personal care products (37 percent) and it is difficult to find them (36 percent). In fact, half (50 percent) of caregivers wish home health care products were easier to find. The new Clorox CareConcepts home health care products are simple to find on Amazon.com, Drugstores.com and near the pharmacy section at select drug stores nationwide.
