Hallandale, Florida — May 20, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Emigrating is, by definition, an act of profound bravery. However, emigrating with the dream of revalidating a law degree in one of the most competitive and demanding markets on the planet is a challenge reserved only for extraordinary minds. Nearly twenty years ago, a young Argentine attorney arrived in South Florida with a suitcase full of dreams and a singular goal: to practice law in the United States. Back then, she was unfamiliar with the intricate regulatory path, lacked an institutional network of contacts, and did not know how to carve out a path on her own in a Miami that, while full of opportunities, was often unforgiving to newcomers.

Yet, determination was her compass. Her admission to the prestigious University of Miami (UM) School of Law marked a major turning point. She was no ordinary student; her time in the classroom was nothing short of brilliant, culminating in her graduation with highest honors—a milestone rarely achieved by foreign attorneys in the fiercely competitive American academic environment. That technical rigor, combined with her subsequent experience at some of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the country (ranking on the exclusive Am Law 200 list) and her role as a Director of the Argentine-American Chamber of Commerce of Florida, provided her with the essential tools to found her own practice: Calderon Law Firm. Today, she is the trusted advisor to the market’s most prominent developers and Family Offices, translating success into a methodical process built on integrity and a forward-looking vision, taken «step by step.»

Exclusively for our audience, Maria Marta Calderon, Esq., breaks down the legal anatomy of real estate and the core keys to cross-border asset protection in 2026.

CONVERSATIONS WITH PURPOSE: THE EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

1. The South Florida real estate market continues to be a magnet for Latin America, but the fiscal and legal rules for foreign buyers are vastly different from those in their home countries. From your perspective at Calderon Law Firm, what is the most severe, and yet most common, legal mistake a Hispanic entrepreneur makes when buying a property in the U.S., assuming the process is identical to back home?

Maria Marta Calderon: The most severe and common mistake I see Latin American entrepreneurs make when purchasing real estate or doing business in Florida is assuming that the rules work the same way as they do in their home countries. They often rely solely on what a friend, a real estate agent, or a title company tells them—none of whom are specialized attorneys in U.S. foreign investment. All too often, they even consult local practicing attorneys who lack specific experience working with foreign nationals doing business in the United States.

The issue is that in the U.S., simply buying a property is not enough; the real importance lies in how you structure that purchase or business venture. A poor decision can trigger legal liabilities, tax exposure, exorbitant estate taxes, or severe complications with FIRPTA and other regulatory frameworks. We do not view a real estate purchase as a mere transaction, but rather as an asset protection strategy and comprehensive legal planning. Because a properly structured property can build generational wealth; an improperly structured one can become a million-dollar liability.

2. You are an award-winning expert in estate planning and Trusts. Many investors make the mistake of purchasing properties under their personal names without measuring the risks of lawsuits or the dreaded «estate tax» for foreign nationals. Why is it a hazard to buy real estate in your own name, and how can a proper corporate structure shield a family’s wealth?

MMC: Purchasing real estate in the United States under your personal name as a foreign national is generally not recommended, as it can generate far more headaches than benefits. Many investors fail to realize that an improperly structured property can put not just the asset at risk, but the entire family fortune.

For instance, buying in your own name can trigger the federal estate tax for non-resident aliens, forcing the family to face an ancillary probate process in the U.S. on top of the probate process in their home country. It also creates direct personal exposure to lawsuits or claims related to the property. Furthermore, there are significant tax implications, such as FIRPTA withholding at the time of sale. Additionally, foreign investors do not receive many of the protections or advantages available to Florida residents living in their properties, such as homestead exemptions and other local asset protection benefits.

That is why, in estate planning and asset protection, the key is not just buying the property, but structuring it correctly from day one. A well-designed corporate or fiduciary structure can limit liability, safeguard assets, facilitate family succession, and create long-term tax efficiencies. In our firm, we work precisely on designing structures that protect not only the investment, but also the family’s legacy and peace of mind. Every case is unique and there is no one-size-fits-all formula; it is crucial for every client to receive individualized counsel based on the specifics of their investment and their short, medium, and long-term objectives.

3. We are living in a time of disruption driven by Artificial Intelligence, technology, and new commercial developments in key zones between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. When advising Family Offices and high-net-worth investors, in what specific commercial real estate niches or transactions are you seeing the greatest opportunities, and how is cross-border risk legally managed?

MMC: Today, we are seeing a tremendous amount of movement in mixed-use developments, logistics centers, multifamily housing, flexible office spaces, data centers, tech-driven projects, and commercial properties located in strategic corridors where fintech, healthtech, and artificial intelligence firms are anchoring.

In commercial transactions, opportunity always comes hand-in-hand with a much more complex due diligence process. Analyzing a multifamily property—which requires reviewing lease agreements, occupancy rates, insurance policies, and operational compliance—is completely different from analyzing a logistics center, where zoning codes, access routes, permitted use, environmental impact, and operator agreements carry massive weight. In a data center, for instance, the analysis must encompass power grid infrastructure, energy redundancy, specialized licensing, and technological liabilities. As an attorney experienced in the acquisition, financing, leasing, and operation of commercial real estate, my role is to guide the foreign investor through every single stage of the process so they remain protected, informed, and properly structured.

In this market, having ironclad contracts and appropriate legal structures is not a luxury; it is an absolute necessity. Litigation in the United States is extraordinarily expensive, and our job is to help the client make money—by negotiating favorable clauses, mitigating risks, and providing the vital information needed to make intelligent choices. My goal is always for the client to win, whether that means closing an excellent deal or avoiding exposure to unnecessary risk.

4. You served as a Director of the Argentine-American Chamber of Commerce of Florida and are a benchmark for diverse leadership in the State. For an entrepreneur who sees you on television and dreams of making the leap to the United States, how much weight does the legal stability of this system carry, and how does your firm help structure that corporate landing from day one?

MMC: In addition to having served as a Director of the Argentine-American Chamber of Commerce of Florida, I am a licensed attorney in Argentina—a country whose legal system follows the Civil Law tradition, the most widely used legal framework across Latin America, Europe, and many other parts of the world. This system is primarily based on codified, written statutes with deep roots in Roman law. Conversely, the United States operates under the Common Law system, where legal precedent and judicial rulings play a central role.

Not only are the laws completely different, but the entire way of thinking about business, interpreting risk, and negotiating also changes, alongside the cultural idiosyncrasies of those operating within each system. That cultural and legal contrast is often one of the greatest hurdles for business owners and entrepreneurs looking to expand into the U.S. With my years of experience working in firms with international client portfolios, as well as within one of the largest law firms in the United States, I have been able to help clients successfully navigate both worlds. I act as a bridge between distinct legal systems and differing corporate mindsets. This specialized guidance injects immense value because it delivers the exact security and confidence that business leaders need to land and structure their operations from day one, capitalizing precisely on the legal certainty, predictability, and stability that the American system offers.

5. Real Estate in the U.S. moves billions of dollars, and behind every successful transaction is an ironclad contract. What is that golden piece of advice you leave today for our audience ready to invest in Florida, but who still feel that legal or fiscal hesitation about taking the first step?

MMC: The golden advice I always give to anyone wanting to invest in Florida or do business in the United States is very simple: surround yourself with excellent advisors, and never sign anything out of pressure, haste, or without understanding it 100%.

As an attorney, that is precisely why I launched my own firm: because I deeply believe in doing this work with seriousness, strategy, and a genuine commitment to the client. For me, it is not simply about closing deals; it is about protecting investments, reviewing every legal detail in-depth, and ensuring the client clearly understands what they are signing, what their rights are, what their obligations are, and the risks they are assuming when doing business.

And this is vital because contracts here are extremely powerful. U.S. jurisprudence is crystal clear: judges do not write contracts; the parties do. And when we speak of a foreign investor, the law considers them a sophisticated investor; that is, someone who had the means and opportunity to understand what they were signing or to hire legal counsel to do it correctly. All too often, clients walk into my office after having signed contracts plagued with major issues. Unfortunately, in many cases, by then it is already too late. This can translate into massive financial losses or extremely costly litigation. That is why the vast majority of my clients are long-term clients, because I firmly believe that professional relationships must be built on trust, transparency, respect, and serious work.

NEW YORK, NY — May 19, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — More than half of adults and about 60% of children in the United States have unhealthy diets, which can contribute to higher rates of health factors such as high blood pressure and obesity, and lead directly to poor health outcomes including death from chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease.

These findings come from the American Heart Association, a global force changing the future of health for all, which published its “2026 Dietary Guidance to Improve Cardiovascular Health” in its peer-reviewed, flagship journal “Circulation” recommending Americans follow a lifelong healthy eating pattern that may reduce cardiovascular disease risk and improve quality of life based on the latest in evidence-based science.

The statement outlines nine key features of a heart-healthy dietary pattern:

1. Adjust energy intake and expenditure to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight: Try to balance how much you eat with how active you are to reach and maintain a healthy body weight.
2. Eat a variety of vegetables and fruits: Include different colors, textures and types of produce. Remember, even canned and frozen can be nutritious and affordable.
3. Choose foods made mostly with whole grains: Foods such as whole‑wheat bread, brown rice and oatmeal are typically better choices than refined grains including white bread or rice.
4. Choose healthy sources of protein: Shift from meat to plant-based sources such as legumes, including beans, peas and lentils, along with nuts and seeds; regularly consume fish and seafood; select low-fat or fat-free dairy products; and, if red meat is desired, choose lean cuts, avoid processed forms and limit portion size.
5. Choose sources of unsaturated fats: Replace saturated fats with healthy unsaturated fats, including those from nuts, seeds, avocados and nontropical plant oils.
6. Choose minimally processed foods: Go with foods close to their natural state, with minimal added commercial ingredients, rather than those that are highly processed with additives.
7. Minimize intake of added sugars: Limit the sugar-sweetened beverages you drink and the foods with added sugar you eat.
8. Choose foods low in sodium and prepare foods with minimal or no salt: Be aware of hidden sources of sodium in prepared and packaged foods, and season food with healthier options such as herbs, spices or lemon instead of salt.
9. If alcohol is not consumed, do not start; if alcohol is consumed, limit intake: Alcohol can increase your risk for high blood pressure and other health conditions, so if you don’t drink, don’t start.

“For healthy eating to be more attainable and sustainable, we recommend people focus on their overall eating pattern rather than specific nutrients or foods,” said Alice H. Lichtenstein, D.Sc., FAHA, volunteer chair of the scientific statement writing committee and senior scientist and leader of the Diet and Chronic Disease Prevention Directive at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. “Every time you choose to make a swap for a healthier alternative, you’re making a step toward a healthier life.”

While the updated guidance is specifically designed to improve cardiovascular health, it’s generally consistent with dietary recommendations for other conditions like Type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, some cancers and brain health as well due to shared risk factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, excess weight and reduced kidney function.

“A healthy dietary pattern can support lifelong health and well-being beyond cardiovascular health,” Lichtenstein said.

MIAMI, FL — May 15, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — There is something almost ironic — and entirely deliberate — about an artist releasing a single called «Payola» and expecting radio stations to play it. Pedro Habano knows this. And that is precisely where the brilliance of his new track lies: in turning the music industry’s most feared term into a philosophical declaration that any listener can claim as their own.

«Payola» drops today, May 15, 2026, on all major digital platforms worldwide, wrapped in a production that pays honest tribute to the golden era of 80s and 90s salsa — the sound of Willie Colón and Rubén Blades, of Celia Cruz and El Gran Combo — with brass arrangements, clave percussion, and a groove that gets the body moving before the mind has time to process the lyrics. At nearly five minutes long, the track is a rarity in the streaming era: a song that takes its time, building, growing, and carrying you all the way to the end.

«Life is a payola and everything comes with a price» — the lyric of the year.

The word «payola» refers to the historically documented and legally prohibited practice by which record labels paid radio stations to guarantee airplay for their songs. A scandal that rocked the American music industry in the 1950s and 60s — and that, according to many in the business, never truly disappeared; it simply changed shape. That an independent artist would choose precisely this term to title his single and send it out to compete in the market is, at the very least, a gesture of disarming honesty.

But Pedro Habano isn’t writing a manifesto. He’s writing a dance track. «I didn’t want to focus on the negative,» explains the artist, born in Río Grande, Puerto Rico, and based between Medellín and Miami. «What I wanted was for people to relate to the idea that everything in life has a price. We pay tuition to study. We pay for gas to get around. And in love, most of the time we also pay — one way or another — for the love we receive. That’s not a bad thing — it’s simply the human condition.»

The production validates the philosophy: there are no shortcuts here. The brass opens the path, the percussion holds the structure, and Habano’s voice navigates verses that travel from childhood on the island — anchored by his father’s wisdom — to an adult, unsentimental view of how the world works. «In this life nobody gives you anything for free. The only thing that’s free is the lesson,» go to the final verses. A line that, delivered over this rhythm, sounds less like a complaint and more like liberation.

About Pedro Habano
An independent Puerto Rican artist born in Río Grande, Puerto Rico, known as «Tu Paisarriqueño.» With over 300,000 followers across major digital platforms and explosive growth momentum according to Chartmetric, Pedro Habano builds his catalog between Medellín and Miami with releases spanning salsa, merengue, bachata, and urban pop. Colombia and Mexico lead his international audience.

Los cambios de liderazgo se producen en un contexto en el que los operadores de hostelería, salud y grandes instalaciones buscan cada vez más plataformas capaces de conectar interacción móvil, localización interior, datos de comportamiento y personalización impulsada por IA en tiempo real. Mientras que los sistemas tradicionales de hostelería, CRM y Martech generalmente ayudan a los operadores a entender quién es el cliente y qué ha hecho, la Estrategia 2.0 de Phunware se centra en ayudar a los operadores a entender qué están haciendo los huéspedes en la propiedad y cómo responder mientras esas interacciones aún están ocurriendo.

«Phunware está entrando en un capítulo decisivo», dijo Dmitry Kroshka, director ejecutivo de Phunware. «La compañía cuenta con una sólida base instalada en propiedades emblemáticas de hostelería y salud, un portafolio de producto más disciplinado, un impulso creciente de AI Concierge y una sólida posición de caja sin deuda. Nuestro objetivo ahora es transformar esa base en una ejecución enfocada».

«El Producto 2.0 trata de hacer que las capacidades de Phunware sean más unificadas, más inteligentes y más fáciles de implementar para los clientes. Creemos que nuestras implementaciones de localización, herramientas de interacción móvil y datos de comportamiento en el mundo real crean una base sólida para inteligencia de huéspedes impulsada por IA en hostelería, salud y entornos relacionados”, añadió Kroshka.

Tras los resultados del primer trimestre de 2026 de Phunware, informados el 7 de mayo de 2026, la compañía entra en esta nueva fase con una base operativa más sólida y un impulso significativo de producto. Los hitos estratégicos, comerciales y financieros recientes incluyen:

• Lanzamiento comercial de AI Concierge, el módulo de IA generativa de Phunware integrado con su sistema de navegación blue-dot, mapas en propiedad y puntos de interés. El nivel de interacción de AI Concierge se sitúa aproximadamente un 40% por encima de las previsiones internas tras su lanzamiento oficial en enero.
• Desarrollo de planificación de itinerarios y reservas impulsada por IA agentica (agentic AI-driven itinerary planning and booking), diseñado para aumentar los ingresos auxiliares en la propiedad e impulsar la satisfacción de los huéspedes en hoteles y resorts complejos.
• Tasas de retención de clientes sostenidas por encima del 95% en los principales verticales de la compañía.
• Flexibilidad de capital para invertir en I+D, propiedad intelectual y oportunidades de crecimiento orgánico e inorgánico.

“Phunware tiene una oportunidad significativa para modernizar la forma en que las grandes propiedades entienden, interactúan y prestan servicio a sus huéspedes en tiempo real”, afirmó Michael Cerdá, fundador y director ejecutivo de BSPG. «Nuestro trabajo con el equipo se centra en perfeccionar la arquitectura del producto, acelerar las prácticas de desarrollo nativas de IA y ayudar a convertir las capacidades de Phunware en una plataforma más unificada que los clientes puedan implementar rápidamente y ampliar con el tiempo».

Si bien el enfoque comercial a corto plazo de Phunware sigue siendo la hostelería, la compañía cree que muchas de las mismas capacidades de inteligencia operativa, localización en interiores y orquestación de IA aplicables a hoteles y resorts son directamente relevantes para campus de salud complejos y otros entornos de grandes instalaciones empresariales. La empresa se propone ampliar su cartera de productos hacia verticales adyacentes a medida que madure la plataforma de inteligencia para huéspedes.

“El anuncio de hoy refleja un avance deliberado en la estrategia y el liderazgo de Phunware”, afirmó Elliot Han, presidente del consejo de administración. «Dmitry ha estado profundamente involucrado en la configuración de la Estrategia 2.0 de la compañía, y el consejo de administración considera que es el líder adecuado para aportar el enfoque, la urgencia y la disciplina de producto que requiere esta nueva fase. Con Dmitry liderando la compañía, Michael y BSPG fortaleciendo la ejecución de productos, y Jeremy centrado nuevamente en operaciones, creemos que Phunware está mejor posicionada para traducir su tecnología, base de clientes y balance en impulso comercial. En nombre del consejo de administración, también quiero agradecer a Jeremy por su liderazgo como CEO interino y por haber guiado a la compañía a través de un importante período de transición. Su enfoque continuo en las operaciones y en la entrega al cliente seguirá siendo importante a medida que la compañía avance en su Estrategia 2.0 «.

Próximo seminario web para inversores e HITEC Norteamérica 2026

Phunware también mostrará su oferta de hostelería como servicio y su módulo AI Concierge en HITEC North America 2026, la conferencia de tecnología de hostelería más grande del mundo. Se anunciarán por separado más detalles, incluida la fecha del seminario web para inversores y la información de registro.

(Nasdaq: DWTX) (“Dogwood” or the “Company”), a company that focuses on developing first-in-class, new non-opioid medicines to treat pain and neuropathy, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“Dogwood is off to a strong operational start to 2026 driven by significant pipeline progress for both Halneuron®, with Phase 2b data anticipated this fall, and SP16, which received FDA clearance to progress into Phase 1b development this quarter,” said Greg Duncan, Chief Executive Officer of Dogwood Therapeutics. “Furthermore, we executed a global development license for our legacy combination antiviral assets.”

Key Highlights

• The Company currently has enrolled 164 patients in its Halneuron® Phase 2b Chemotherapy Induced Neuropathic Pain (“CINP”) study, with top-line results expected fall of 2026.
• SP16 granted IND approval from the FDA. Study to begin enrolling in mid-2026 for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced pain and peripheral neuropathy (“CIPPN”). It is fully funded by the National Cancer Institute and will be conducted at the University of Virginia.
• In January 2026, the Company completed a financing of up to $26.9 million to progress Halneuron® through Phase 2b development, of which gross proceeds of $12.5 million have been received.
• Cash on hand of $13.2 million provides operational runway into the fourth quarter of 2026.

Dogwood Therapeutics Proprietary Pipeline Includes:

• Halneuron® is in Phase 2b clinical development as a non-opioid, NaV 1.7 inhibitor to treat pain conditions including the neuropathic pain associated with chemotherapy treatment. Halneuron® has been granted fast track designation from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the treatment of CINP. Top line results from the ongoing Phase 2b trial are expected in the fall of 2026.
• SP16 IV is a low-density lipoprotein receptor related protein-1 agonist (LRP1) with potential to treat neuropathy and prevent or repair nerve damage following chemotherapy. SP16 acts as an LRP1 agonist that in turn provides alpha-1-antitrypsin-like activity. Consistent with alpha-1-antitrypsin anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory actions, SP16 preclinically demonstrated anti-inflammatory (analgesic) action via potential reductions in IL-6, IL-8, IL1B and TNF-alpha levels, as well as potential to repair damaged tissue via increases in pAKT and pERK that regulate fundamental processes like growth, proliferation and survival.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $2.4 million, compared to $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2025.
