New Jersey is probably not known for its love of soccer, but this past week, it's all anyone could talk about, especially at Metlife Stadium!

He also shared, “We know the pride felt by so many for this special fútbol moment. Ford is excited to celebrate the sport, the fans and the rich culture that comes along with it all.” We also had the opportunity to see the latest 2016 and 2017 Ford vehicle line-up. The Fan Plaza was equipped with merchandise to purchase, food and beverage stations and entertainment, along with other brands such as Delta, Verizon, and Budweiser. ![]() By Sarah Lora • posted June 21, 2016 Delta Air Lines patrocina la edición de este año del Festival de Cine Dominicano de Nueva York (DFFNY, por sus siglas en inglés) el que presentará a los actores y directores más destacados en la industria del cine dominicano.

Diseñado en colaboración con la campaña I LOVE NEW YORK del Estado de Nueva York, el creador y visionario experto de adivinanza Victor Blake producen una experiencia para el consumidor como ninguna otra. Los jugadores intentarán escapar de varios salones en uno de los edificios más emblemáticos de Nueva York – la Estación Moynihan. Escape NYC: Una Experiencia de Escape del Salón se realizará de junio 23 al 26. "Los consumidores más jóvenes y urbanos de hoy quieren vivir a través de experiencias y conectarse con las marcas que representan su estilo de vida", dijo Ginger Kasanic, gerente de marketing experiencial de Ford. "Ellos son consumidores voraces de la vida - no son espectadores, son los participantes.” "Escape del Salón NYC se puede resumir como la tendencia económica de la experiencia de poner un giro único en la prueba de manejo tradicional", añade Kasanic. El evento es auténtico al juego creado por Blake que se ha convertido en una de las experiencias de entretenimiento de moda entre la generación del milenio, excepto por el hecho de que ocupará 35.000 pies cuadrados - haciendo a Escape NYC: Una Experiencia de Conducción de Escape del Salón 50 veces más grande que la experiencia de juego típica, según Blake. "Ford se preguntó si estaría preparado para integrar el nuevo Escape en un juego de Escape del Salón, y el resultado final sería diferente a todo lo que ha creado antes", dijo Blake. "El SUV está lleno de toneladas de tecnología avanzada, y fue un ejercicio entretenido para integrar cosas como sensores de estacionamiento por ultrasonidos en las adivinanzas y pistas que son icónicas del juego." En la Estación Moynihan, los participantes se encontrarán inmersos en los tesoros ocultos de verano en Nueva York, ya que navegan el camino de pasar de orígenes humildes a llegar a ser grandes en la industria del cine. Un espacio expansivo de cinco salones de juego induce a los jugadores para encontrar pistas que guiarán su viaje utilizando diversas herramientas tecnológicas disponibles en el nuevo Ford Escape, y su propio ingenio. Algunas de las tecnologías a bordo de vehículos integrados en el juego:
Los jugadores están obligados a guardar el secreto para asegurar que el juego se mantenga nuevo para todos y que nadie tenga ventaja. A través del juego, los jugadores podrán descubrir un nuevo aspecto del Estado de Nueva York, y de ellos mismos. El juego, abierto al público durante cuatro días, vio a más de 1.000 consumidores inscribirse en menos de 24 horas. A pesar de que la pre-inscripción está agotada, algunos espacios para visitantes estarán disponibles cada día. "Estamos constantemente en busca de nuevas formas de conectarse con los consumidores y asociándose con Escape del Salón nos permitió crear una experiencia única e inesperada de presentar nuestro nuevo Ford Escape y nuestras tecnologías", dijo Kasanic. Para aumentar aún más el perfil de las joyas ocultas y destinos clave a lo largo del Estado de Nueva York, Ford y I LOVE NEW YORK (AMO A NUEVA YORK) están publicando Guías de Viajes de Escape de Verano que ofrecen escapadas de fin de semana y extendidas que se pueden disfrutar mejor en el Ford Escape 2017.

Kevin Durant, Pierre Garçon, STATE Bags and Roc Nation Announce Support for MBK Success Mentors Initiative
The White House and the U.S. Department of Education announced today the names of the 20 new communities that have joined the My Brother’s Keeper (MBK) Success Mentors Initiative – for a total of 30 communities. The new communities are: Albuquerque, New Mexico; Baltimore, Maryland; Cleveland, Ohio; Dallas, Texas; Detroit and Flint, Michigan; Fresno, California; Hartford, Connecticut; Indianola, Texas; Jacksonville, Florida; Kansas City, Missouri; Los Angeles, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Oakland, California; Orlando, Florida; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Portland, Oregon; Sacramento, California and the Pine Ridge Reservation. MBK Success Mentors Initiative is a groundbreaking response to the challenge of chronic student absences in our country. It aims to reduce chronic absenteeism by connecting over one million students who are or at risk of becoming chronically absent with trained school-linked caring adults and near-peers over the next 3-5 years. The initiative is the nation’s first-ever effort to scale an evidence-based, data-driven mentor model to reach and support the highest risk students – using existing resources already linked to schools, and the early warning metric of chronic absenteeism to drive student success. The original ten cities that launched earlier this year include,Austin, Boston, Columbus, Denver, Miami-Dade, New York City, Philadelphia, Providence, San Antonio and Seattle. In the past five months, these 10 communities have supported more than 8,000 chronically absent students with success mentors. New data from the Department of Education’s Civil Rights Data Collection, which collected student absenteeism rates for the first time, revealed that 6.5 million students—13 percent of all students—were chronically absent from schools in 2013-14. Other studies show frequent absences from school can be devastating to a child's future. The effects start early and spiral dramatically over time. Children who are chronically absent in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade are much less likely to read on grade level by the third grade. Students who can't read at grade level by the third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school. By high school, regular attendance is a better dropout indicator than test scores. A student who is chronically absent in any year between the eighth and twelfth grade is seven times more likely to drop out of school. STATE Bags, a buy one give one backpack brand, is announcing that it will donate 30,000 backpacks in the 30 MBK Success Mentors communities – and in partnership with Roc Nation – will engage artists and athletes in raising awareness of the importance of school attendance. These events will be led by child development specialists who have successfully risen from at-risk neighborhoods themselves, and serve as role model figures to the children served. For every STATE bag purchased from June 8 to September 8, one bag will be donated to students participating in the MBK Success Mentors initiative in the 30 communities. Today, more than 200 leaders from the 30 MBK Success Mentors Cities will gather at the White House for a national training summit to prepare Success Mentor “Ground Troops” for the start of the school year. The summit participants will receive training in identifying and supporting students who are, or are at risk of becoming, chronically absent from school – to help them succeed. U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King, Jr., Kevin Durant, Pierre Garçon and STATE Bags’ Co-Founder, Scot Tatelman, will speak about the importance of mentorships that drive success in school and life. Durant also will announce that the MBK Success Mentors community that is the most successful in reducing student absenteeism over the next year will be the next location to benefit from the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation’s “Build It and They Will Ball” Courts Renovation Initiative. The Extent of Chronic Absenteeism: Chronic absenteeism, or missing at least ten percent of school days in the school year, or a month or more of school, excused or unexcused, is a leading cause of low achievement and a powerful predictor of which students will eventually drop out of school. These rates are highest in our low-income communities, where school offers the best opportunity out of poverty. Civil Rights Data Collection data released this week demonstrates the extent of the chronic student absenteeism challenge in our nation. The data show that 6.5 million students – 13 percent of all students – miss almost a month or more of school each year.
o High school students with disabilities served by IDEA are 1.3 times as likely to be chronically absent as high school students without disabilities. o 20% of all English learner high school students are chronically absent.
o Black elementary school students are 1.4 times as likely to be chronically absent as white elementary school students. o Elementary school students with disabilities served by IDEA are 1.5 times as likely to be chronically absent as elementary school students without disabilities. The MBK Success Mentors Model: MBK Success Mentors is the nation’s first-ever effort to scale an evidence-based, data-driven mentor model to reach and support the highest risk students. Mentors receive training to serve as motivators, problem solvers, connectors, and advocates, and help them form supportive relationships, identify and celebrate student’s strengths, promote their attendance every day, and connect them with the necessary supports to keep them on track and thriving. Mentors are typically assigned 3-5 students as mentees, and meet with students 3 times per week in school all year. In the past five months, the original ten cities that launched the initiative have supported more than 8,000 chronically absent students with success mentors. The MBK Success Mentor Partners: MBK Success Mentors builds on the Every Student, Every Day interagency campaign to eliminate chronic absenteeism as part of the mandate of the President’s My Brother’s Keeper taskforce. The effort also includes a national Ad Council parent engagement campaign to elevate the conversation about the devastating impact of chronic absenteeism, specifically targeting parents of K-8th grade students. It is currently being rolled out on billboards, bus kiosks, and social media nationwide to alert parents about the devastating impact of missing just 2 days a month of school, which totals a month of school missed. This MBK Success Mentors model is supported by a public-private network which includes the following key U.S. Department of Education collaborators: Dr. Robert Balfanz of Johns Hopkins University’s Everyone Graduates Center, the Ad Council, the Arnold Foundation, Attendance Works, the Center for Supportive Schools, City Year, the Corporation for National and Community Service, MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, United Way, the Mott Foundation, Roc Nation, STATE Bags, and Viacom’s Get Schooled. About My Brother’s Keeper: President Obama launched My Brother’s Keeper in February of 2014 to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color and ensure that all young people can reach their full potential. In response to the President’s call to action, nearly 250 communities in all 50 states have accepted the President’s My Brother’s Keeper Community Challenge; more than $600 million in private sector and philanthropic grants and in-kind resources and $1 billion in low-interest financing have been committed in alignment with MBK; and new federal policy initiatives, grant programs, and guidance are being implemented to ensure that every child has a clear pathway to success from cradle to college and career. ![]() WASHINGTON, June 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Former All-Pro NFL cornerback, Shawn Springs is the CEO and FOUNDER of Windpact, Inc..Windpact's patented "Crash Cloud™" technology was born out of a desire to minimize sports-related concussive head trauma. Shawn was inspired to launch the company after observing the performance of his children's car seat after a serious accident involving him and his sons. The car was totaled but the children walked away with only scratches. This accident was a major turning point for Shawn and became the catalyst for the launch of Windpact. Shawn thought if a car seat can save the lives of his children in a severe car wreck, than perhaps that same technology could be adapted to football and other contact sports helmets to help prevent traumatic brain injury like concussion and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy or CTE. CTE is a progressive degenerative disease found in people who have had a severe blow or repeated blows to the head. Concussion and CTE have risen to the level of a public health crisis that has captured the national stage. The issue sparked a major motion picture called"CONCUSSION" starring, Will Smith and ignited a rigorous dialogue and brought to light the grave dangers of head injury. For Shawn, the issue of helmet safety is deeply personal, not just business. Recently retired, Shawn still has many friends active in the NFL. He is the son of former Dallas Cowboy running back Ron Springs and grew up around the game even before stepping on the field himself. "Windpact is my way of giving back to the game I love," said Shawn Springs, CEO of Windpact, "by improving the safety for the players who play now and those who will play in the future." "The Power of the Windpact system ultimately comes from the air dispersion in our Crash Cloud technology," says COO Max Moyer. The Crash Cloud system is made up of three elements: Wind Springs™, Impact Vents™ and Refresh Vents.™ "These features combine to produce self-recovering airbags that instantly absorb and disperse the impact of a hit," said Maurice Kelly, Windpact's Chief Innovation Officer. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way helmets are designed and manufactured forever. Windpact doesn't manufacture helmets, but rather wants to be the "Intel Inside" for helmet safety and license its patented Crash Cloud system to key sport and recreation helmet manufacturers around the world. Windpact's current aim is to become synonymous with head protection by building a leading brand in safety and design that improves impact performance in helmets and protective gear. As an innovative impact mitigation system, the application for this tech expands far beyond football into a wide array of uses from military, to construction, to transportation, and even healthcare. About Windpact, Inc.: Windpact, Inc. is an innovative company with a revolutionary line of helmet technology that is changing the way athletes protect themselves. Created by veteran athletes, Windpact helmets use an air-diffused impact system featuring non-explosive airbags that combine energy absorption and dissipation techniques to minimize impact on the skull as a result of a crash or tackle.
