Abel Quiñónez’s New Book “La Respuesta” Holds An Important Key In Driving One To Find The Gateway To Transformation And Pursue Change In Oneself

0
La Respuesta

LOS ANGELES, July 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Abel Quiñónez, a writer, professional speaker certified by the Secretariat of Public Education of Mexico, radio programmer, businessman, lecturer, motivator and coach, has completed his new book “La Respuesta”: a compelling read that begins the next stage of his Exitology, focusing on improving one’s state of mind and sense of self.

The narrative is another. But the emphasis maintains its tone of total positivism. The commitment to the reader continues, because his mission is not one day or one book. If in ‘La Escalera‘ he dazzled with his powerful testimony of life and his proposals, now with ‘La Respuesta’ he continues without taking his finger off the line asking questions with which many people identify, which he answers in a style of dynamic didactic solvency.

In a language that, at times, evokes the ranch where he was born, calling things by his name, each chapter represents a you to you where Abel Quiñónez solves the question/answer instance with surprising efficiency.

From this perspective, ‘La Respuesta’ is also an invitation to dialogue and motivate oneself, act and make decisions, change attitude and strategy, renounce certain habits, reconsider and improve oneself starting right now.

That is the supreme objective of Abel Quiñónez, his cause, his apostolate, his way of feeling, raising and explicitly displaying his Declaration of Principles in public. This is how he enters the next level of his Exitology, the series with which he has committed himself to the last consequences. With ‘La Respuesta’ he reinforces his conviction that success is possible. It is convenient to pay attention to him.

The Star of Abel Quiñónez on the sidewalk next to the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas has the number 72. The emotional unveiling ceremony held on May 28, 2015 was attended by his entire family. Many of his friends also accompanied him.

Published by Page Publishing, Abel Quiñónez’s comprehensive work is the second installment of his Exitology series. He lays down the essentials and tools for the individual to look within themselves and believe that success is achievable. For if one is committed, then they will eventually find what they are looking for.

Readers who wish to experience this excellent work can purchase “La Respuesta” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Virgilia Lima’s new book “El amor que vale para todos los días” carries beautiful daily devotionals for matrimony

0
El Amor que Vale para Todos los Días

LOS ANGELES, July 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Virgilia Lima, a devoted believer in Christ and a brilliant author, has completed her new book “El amor que vale para todos los días”: a profound manuscript that revels on the beauty of love and true life under the guidance of the Redeemer. These pages of devotionals are designed to make one realize the impact of love in all things that surround oneself.

Virgilia writes, “The true meaning of life is in loving God and your neighbor no matter who you are or what you do. The important thing is to love, because love is the perfect ingredient that gives the most important spice of any meaningful relationship and is fundamental for a true life in Jesus Christ, because your quality of life is directly related to the amount of love that flows in you, and through you to others. Though often overlooked, love is worth far more than riches and fame, or honor, or lust; these things will pass but love remains. You can be satisfied without the other things, but not without love. The absence of love will leave a devastating void. When your spirituality is not present, your works become selfish and insincere, if love is not the motivation, it will be bland without love and unsatisfactory and will be meaningless.”

Published by Page Publishing, Virgilia Lima’s mind-clearing read will also calm emotions with its voice of love flourishing through the reader’s hearts. This goes to show how much love God offers throughout one’s life.

Readers who wish to experience this potent work can purchase “El amor que vale para todos los días” online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Mexicali Resiste Activist VS. Constellation Brands: Activists demand WATER RIGHTS and FREEDOM

Alcohol Justice logo.

Water rights activists threatened with false legal accusations for protesting U.S. based multinational Alcohol Corporation, Constellation Brands

MEXICALI, Baja California, July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Mexicali Resiste, Water Rights Activists, will attend a court hearing for charges of “deprivation of liberty” of police and “dispossession” of the state building in connection with their involvement in protests against Constellation Brands in 2017. In 2017 the office of the State Attorney of Baja California determined that the current accusations did not deem criminal proceedings. However, the current congress of the state of Baja California has suddenly decided to reopen the case file and has scheduled a court hearing for July 8th, rescinding the previous resolution and once again presenting accusations against the water rights activists for protesting against corporate corruption and injustice. This comes as no surprise after Leon Fierro, one of the activists was wrongfully accused in 2018 of “attempted murder” against police, for participating in a protest and 20 days later freed after it was determined that there was no proof.

Constellation Brands continues to threaten with privatizing local water in Baja California, Mexico, Mexicali Resiste fights back!

What: Court Hearing

When: Thursday, July 8th, 2021, at 1 p.m.

Where: Unidad Judicial Calle Sur, Sala Fisica #7, colonia Bellavista in the city of Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico

Who: Mexicali Resiste

Why:

Since January 2017, Mexicali Resiste has opposed the plans by Constellation Brands, a U.S. based alcohol corporation, to build a billion-dollar brewery to use local water to make beer for American consumers in a region already experiencing severe water scarcity. Constellation Brands is expected to consume 20 million cubic meters of water annually from the Valley of Mexicali. This desert region has an over-exploited aquifer that is fed by the Colorado River with serious water shortages and serious drought issues in Tijuana, Tecate, Rosarito and Ensenada. In 2017 Mexicali Resiste’s advocacy efforts halted legislative efforts to privatize water in Baja California. Then, in February 2020 the National Human Rights Commission released a report that determined that the process of the approval and installation of the Constellation Brands Brewery violates the human right to water, which would lead to the detriment of the population and farmers of the Valley of Mexicali. In 2020 the Mexican President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called for a Consultation for the people of Mexicali to vote to determine the future of Constellation Brands continued operation which resulted in a NO vote, halting the operation of Constellation Brands, however the company still has not left Mexicali. The current Governor, Jaime Bonilla, former President of the Otay Water Board in San Diego, CA, has been known to continue support efforts to allow Constellation Brands to continue operating in Mexicali.

Los Angeles Says: Too Much Alcohol on These Streets!

0
California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA) AlcoholPolicyAlliance.org

LOS ANGELES, July 7, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Members of California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA) will hold an opposition rally at the Los Angeles district office of California State Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino), principal author of  AB 61 & coauthor SB 314. Both bills focus on expanding alcohol consumption on public property.

California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA) AlcoholPolicyAlliance.org

As all California communities struggle to recover from COVID, those most disproportionately socio-economically impacted are black, brown and low-income. For them there is no relief in Gabriel’s bills which prioritize business economic recovery. He is completely disregarding the unintended consequences of his misguided efforts: high costs of implementation, lack of infrastructure, and loss of overriding local control of cities to implement safe street and sidewalk initiatives for residents and business alike.

This is a social justice issue for low-income and communities of color, pedestrians and drivers already severely compromised by heavy policing, lack of resources, and limited access to walkable and family friendly city streets. Promoting the need for non-union low paying jobs for communities of color as a means to justify alcohol deregulation co-opts social justice and equity to advance corporate profits. The real question is: who is funding these initiatives because it is not the labor unions and it is not the community.

In 2020, Assemblymember Gabriel received $5,700 from the Beer, Wine and Liquor sector – $4,700 from Anheuser-Busch (a multinational corporation headquartered in Belgium) and $1,000 from Wine Institute a corporate alcohol funded lobbyist organization. Gabriel’s bills will effectively privatize public spaces and compromise pedestrian right-of-way safety in the City of Los Angeles.

What:   Opposition Rally & Call to Action
When:  Thursday July 8, 2020, 11 a.m. to noon
Where: 20750 Ventura Blvd. Suite 101, Woodland Hills, CA 91364
Who:

  • Pueblo y Salud
  • Los Angeles Drug and Alcohol Policy Alliance (LADAPA)
  • LGBTQ+ Caucus, CAPA
  • Disability Activists
  • Community Activists, Youth and Parents
  • Alcohol Justice

Why:   

  • COVID regulatory relief measures were never meant to be made permanent or extended they were supposed to be temporary.
  • According to an August 2020 CDC report, both African-Americans and Latinx were at dramatically greater risk of trauma or stress disorders related to COVID-19. This has manifested in increased suicidal ideation and the initiation of or increase in substance use, as compared to other ethnic or racial groups.
  • Our communities are recovering from the most severe health crisis of our time, expansion of alcohol consumption should not be our priority.
  • California currently suffers over 10,500 alcohol-related deaths, 165,000 alcohol-related hospitalizations and $35 billion in related economic harm annually.
  • Problems from excessive alcohol consumption annually cost approximately $940 for every resident, or $2.44 for every drink. (CDC)
  • SB 314 would restrict use of what should be public space, it threatens to allow “party zones” of a type that have historically resulted in nuisance and license violations.
  • Expanding drinking into public areas such as sidewalks poses a threat to seniors and people with disabilities and threatens ADA compliance.
  • Many cities lack the capacity to implement expansion into public spaces, especially dense communities that rely heavily on public transportation and have narrow sidewalks and other infrastructure limitations.
  • ABC will not engage in enforcement because most of these requirements are essentially non-enforceable by the department.
  • There are already numerous methods for consumers to acquire alcohol in person at retail outlets or through delivery from retailers. Our communities do not need more access through cocktails-to-go.
  • Cocktails-to-go create more barriers to monitoring underage alcohol consumption.

With this event, CAPA is launching a public CALL to ACTION to demand that Assemblymember Gabriel, the Legislature, and the Governor acknowledge that excessive alcohol use is No. 3 on the list of preventable causes of death in California and stop any bills seeking to extend or expand COVID-19 regulatory rollbacks for economic relief.

Take Action here: : https://bit.ly/3oFz1uo or text PUBLICHEALTH to 313131 to tell legislators and the Governor to choose PUBLIC HEALTH over industry profits and STOP AB 61 AND SB 314.

The California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA) unites diverse organizations and communities in California to protect health and safety, and prevent alcohol-related harm through statewide action.

U.S.-Based Fintech Platform OKY Celebrates Ground-Breaking First Year

Logo

MIAMI, July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — OKY, a Hispanic-owned and founded U.S.-based fintech platform, today reported a banner first year after the launch of its unique fintech platform, offering e-commerce that is helping to build economic prosperity for immigrant communities in the United States and across Latin America. With over 20,000 active users, OKY now offers over 1,000 points of sale across 176 U.S. cities in 23 states where app users can connect with more than 100 retail partners in Latin America to make purchases without the need for credit cards or bank accounts.

Logo

As the only financial platform designed to give immigrant communities the ability to digitize cash for cross-border e-commerce, users can send funds directly to their relatives in their homeland to make purchases at participating retailers. Given the platform’s success, it is currently on track to launch in six more countries in Latin America over the coming year, beginning with El Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico.

Language, financial, and technological barriers continue to remain a challenge for immigrants and other underserved communities in the United States. Through OKY, they can not only provide more efficiently for their families back home but also partake in the day-to-day necessities, allowing them to be part of their family’s daily life experiences and building closer emotional bonds from far away.

“Our commitment is to those hard-working immigrants, our brothers and sisters, who continuously provide an economic lifeline of support via the value they send back home. Even at a distance, they seek to remain actively present and involved in the lives of loved ones who they left behind,” said OKY CEO and Founder Victor Unda. “Allowing senders to buy from the US, with cash, goods and services for their friends and relatives abroad is the core of our offering”

In a time of continued uncertainty, OKY delivers a strategic and results-driven solution that ensures sustained sales growth and reduces customer attrition through dynamic digital incentives. Its booming success, after raising more than three and half million dollars to fund the early stages of the startup, has positioned OKY to pursue an active and successful Series ‘A’ funding round, which will be open to investors later this quarter.

OKY’s founders, who hail from the world of business and technology, launched the company in 2019 to improve the lives of immigrants and uplift their communities through the use of technology. Together, they built an innovative fintech approach for cross-border transactions and competitive digital solutions that help promote the economic development of immigrants and their families back home. Through OKY, they provide the only cross border e-commerce platform in the United States that can be used through the simple use of an active smartphone.

ABOUT OKY
OKY was founded in 2019 for immigrants and by immigrants, with the vision of helping underserved communities achieve financial equity and overcome common financial barriers through the use of technology. OKY achieves this by enabling users to make e-commerce transactions without the support of financial institutions, which often impede the immigrant community from attaining financial stability. Today, OKY users across the United States and other countries have access to a marketplace that connects the Central American region including retail service providers in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and also some offerings for México.

Guests may add to their wicked wardrobes with apparel and accessories, and find novelty items such as pins, plush and decorative items to cast their own Halloween spell at home. For guests looking to add a sweet treat to their day of tricks, food and beverage locations will offer Halloween-themed specialty items.


At Disneyland Park

Guests will encounter favorite Disney characters throughout Disneyland. On Main Street, U.S.A., Mickey and friends show off their Halloween finest with Minnie as a witch, Donald dressed as a pumpkin and the rest of their pals adding to the Halloween family-friendly fun. Other characters found throughout the park include dastardly Disney villains who have come out to cause some mischief. 

Guests will find festive seasonal décor and pumpkins galore to add to the Halloween magic.

And every night from Sept. 3 – Oct. 31, in Walt Disney’s original park, guests will enjoy a dreadfully delightful treat in the form of “Halloween Screams”, a supernatural projection and special effects show.

Oogie Boogie, from “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas,” will loom over guests at the entrance to Disney California Adventure as he uses his magic to create a forever Halloween for everyone to enjoy. Under his spell, favorite attractions will be transformed for the Halloween season. Guests will mosey on over to Cars Land as Radiator Springs becomes Radiator Screams, where residents decorate their homes with frights and delights for a unique Haul-O-Ween makeover. Lightning McQueen, Mater, Cruz and Red will be ready to greet guests in their “car-stumes” before they race off to go “trunk-or-treating.” Guests can continue the family-friendly fun by taking a spin on popular Cars Land attractions that rev up with Halloween spirit: Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree croons spooky songs to become Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, and Luigi’s Rolickin’ Roadsters takes guests on a wicked whirl as it becomes Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween.

The façade of Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! will spark a state of total emergency as the attraction is transformed at night into Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark, offering an exciting Halloween adventure filled with creepy creatures and thrilling drops. While the Guardians of the Galaxy have successfully escaped The Collector’s Fortress, Groot was accidentally left behind. Guests can successfully complete their rescue mission to save Groot by helping Rocket distract creatures from around the galaxy that have gotten loose. By teaming up with the Guardians, every guest can find their inner hero this Halloween season.

Over on Buena Vista Street, Mickey Mouse and friends will be throwing it back with old-fashioned Halloween costumes. Guests of all ages will enjoy seeing fortune teller Minnie Mouse or taking a photo of Daisy for a be-witch-ing family keepsake. Donald is also looking devilishly handsome and Goofy has a ghostly grin that is ready for any picture.

Seasonal décor will add to the Halloween ambiance on Buena Vista Street. At night, the façade of Carthay Circle Restaurant oozes with Halloween magic as bats swarm, energy pulses from within and projections light up the iconic tower structure with a spellbinding display. Guests can also commemorate the Halloween magic with a photo in front of the 10-foot-tall statue of the Headless Horseman holding his jack-o’-lantern head to the sky. 


Plaza de la Familia

Guests will experience the return of Plaza de la Familia in Paradise Gardens from Sept. 3-Nov. 2, 2021.

  • Wonderfully wicked, immersive treat trails appear throughout Disney California Adventure, offering kids and guests of all ages to don costumes and enjoy trick-or-treating – with an assortment of candy provided by Mars Wrigley confectionery products  – under the watchful eyes of favorite characters, some familiar – some new!
  • “Frightfully Fun Parade” –  The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow leads this spooky showcase, arriving on his ghostly black steed just ahead of the parade and carrying his flickering jack-o’-lantern. A cavalcade of Disney characters and mischievous villains follow, ready to stir up some trouble!
  • Redwood Creek Challenge Trail becomes Villains Grove, a wondrous and ethereal world of imagery inspired by Disney villains. Redwood Creek is completely transformed with lighting, projections, sounds and special effects, creating a dreamlike environment.

Summary Judgment Entered Against Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida Finding Semi-Submerged Land to Be Privately Owned by NE 32nd Street, LLC

0

BOCA RATON, Fla., July 7, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — NE 32nd Street, LLC (NE 32nd), a Boca Raton-based real estate developer, prevailed on March 8, 2021, in Florida’s 15th Judicial Circuit Court against the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida (BOT) over the ownership of certain currently semi-submerged lands on the Intracoastal Waterway in Boca Raton, Florida.  

The lawsuit involves claims against the BOT to quiet title because of BOT’s claims that land owned by NE 32nd was actually sovereignty land of the State of Florida, notwithstanding NE 32nd having record title to all of the land. NE 32nd’s chain of title emanated from a State of Florida deed from 1892, that the BOT attempted to invalidate after 129 years of acquiescence. The partial final summary judgement against the BOT was issued on June 28, 2021 by Judge Donald W. Hafele following months of delays caused by the BOT attempting to reargue the ruling after losing in Court.

NE 32nd contends that the ruling now allows NE 32nd to pursue slander of title claims against the State for slandering NE 32nd‘s 129-year unbroken chain of title, and to seek as damages attorney’s fees and costs under the wrongful act doctrine incurred by NE 32nd during five years of litigation, as a result of the BOT’s refusal to acknowledge NE 32nd‘s ownership and honor the deed the State issued in 1890.

Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida consists of the Governor, the Attorney General, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Commissioner of Agriculture.

The law firm of Tobin & Reyes, P.A. of Boca Raton, FL represents NE 32nd.  For further information please contact attorney, Ricardo A. Reyes, of Tobin & Reyes, P.A., at [email protected]. The BOT was represented by counsel with the State of Florida Office of the Attorney General.

The case is NE 32nd Street LLC v State of Florida Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund.  The trial court case number is 50-2016-CA-03800 (15th Jud. Cir.).
