Pablo Castro’s New Book “Estrella Veloz: Sueños Y Aventuras De Un Gladiador,” Is An Inspiring Memoir Of The Author Achieving His Lifelong Dream Of Becoming A Triumphant Professional Fighter

February 25, 2020

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Estrella Veloz: Sueños y Aventuras de un Gladiador was created by Pablo Castro. Pablo said this about his book: “My dream since my childhood, after looking at my favorite heroes in action and fighting films, there was born the inspiration of one day being like them, a gladiator of the quadrilaterals. One day, I left my house for adventure, without money and a wallet but with my backpack full of illusions and my goal focused on learning what fascinated me. Where I went and how far I got, here I tell you my story.

My path was difficult and rugged—with hard and exhausting workouts, facing strong opponents, and also many difficulties and adversities of life—but with a lucid and triumphant mind. My dream came true in time. When I contemplated myself standing in front of them—my idols of the national cinema, the great masters of the ring—I felt most proud when, from my experiences gathered through my adventurous journey, I managed to forge a group of brave disciples as professional high school fighters. No matter where you go, no matter where you arrive, if you dream of moving forward, do not stop. The force you take with you, courage is your best friend, however long and difficult your walk is, do not give up. Go ahead, and you will get the champion belt.”

Published by Page Publishing, Pablo Castro’s new book Estrella Veloz: Sueños y Aventuras de un Gladiador captures the fervor of an aspiring fighter in a battlefield of odds and the wisdom of a fulfilled man who has finally reached the peak of his passion.

Consumers who wish to be captivated by the true circumstances surrounding a professional fighter can purchase Estrella Veloz: Sueños y Aventuras de un Gladiador in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following is being issued by Prime Clerk.

What is this about?

Purdue Pharma L.P., a U.S. limited partnership, its general partner and its subsidiaries, including Imbrium Therapeutics L.P., Adlon Therapeutics L.P., Greenfield BioVentures L.P., Avrio Health L.P., Rhodes Technologies, and Rhodes Pharmaceuticals L.P. (“Purdue“), filed for bankruptcy in September 2019. Purdue is now giving notice to anyone who thinks they may have a claim against Purdue, including claims related to Purdue prescription opioids, like OxyContin, that they must file all claims seeking compensation by June 30, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

What is a claim and who can file?

A “claim” means a right to seek payment or other compensation. You must file a Proof of Claim Form so it is actually received by the deadline. It can be filed by you, by a legal guardian, by survivors, or by relatives of people who have died or are disabled. All Personal Injury Claimant Proof of Claim Forms and any supporting documentation submitted with those forms will be kept highly confidential and will not be made available to the public. You do not need an attorney to file a proof of claim for you.

Additionally, partnerships, corporations, joint ventures, trusts, governmental units, and Native American Tribes may also file a proof of claim against Purdue or any of its affiliated Debtor companies.

Go to www.PurduePharmaClaims.com to find a complete list of instructions on how to file a claim.

Individuals and entities may file a Proof of Claim even if a settlement is contemplated in the Purdue bankruptcy so that the claim can be considered as part of any settlement.

Who does this affect and what are your rights?

If you think you’ve suffered harm from Purdue or its prescription opioids, you have the right to file a claim even if you may also have received reimbursement from insurance. Examples of claims that may be filed in the Purdue bankruptcy include death, addiction or dependence, lost wages, loss of spousal relationship benefit for things like child-rearing, enjoyment of life, etc., or Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (sometimes referred to as “NAS“), among others.

The deadline to file a claim is June 30, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If you do not file a claim by the deadline, you will lose the right to file a claim against Purdue, and you will lose any right to seek payment or compensation you may have had.

Gregorio A. Meraz’s New Book El Periodismo, Una Leccion En Cada Nota, Is A Sagacious Account On The Pursuit For Excellence In Journalism

February 24, 2020

0

BALTIMORE, Feb. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book El Periodismo, Una Leccion en Cada Nota was created by Gregorio A. Meraz, an author and journalist. He is an international reporter, special envoy, and war correspondent.

Gregorio A. Meraz said this about his book: “Journalism is a window to all the activities of the human race and an inexhaustible source of fascinating information, which allows those who exercise it to learn about a universe of multiple themes—from aspects related to basic local security; fight against crime; drug trafficking; local, state, national, and international politics; education, medical, and scientific research; all expressions of art; armed, national, and international conflicts; natural disasters that make history; or access to interviews with the main protagonists of contemporary history. But that has a price—determination, patience, and perseverance.

After securing my admission to 24 Hours directed by the nonserial journalist Jacobo Zabludovsky—pioneer of the news on Mexican television who created the best team of Mexican communicators of all time, vaccinated against the epidemic of current prominence—in my constant learning, I came to think that before so many great figures, few were my chances of succeeding. But following my mother’s advice, I did not faint; and as soon as responsibilities were conferred on me, I tried not to disappoint the confidence placed in me, which opened the door to a lifetime of enriching experiences that I now want to share with students who have not decided on a career, with those who have just graduated in communication, or with incipient reporters whose work now does not seem to be at the moment very promising.”

Peter Botello, Executive Editorial Director, espacio.live

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The brainchild of executive editor, content development director and red-carpet personality, Peter Botello, espacio.live announces its launch today, as a new entertainment media property targeted to a powerful but underserved market: the Hispanic millennial and Gen Z entertainment audiences driving growth in this country. espacio.live is the ‘space’ that speaks in-culture and not just simply in-language. It’s where new and different entertainment stories find their light to shine. This new outlet connects the LatinX audience with ‘the scene behind every scene’ in media and offers new levels of discovery and diversity within the world of pop culture.

espacio.live aims to be the ultimate LatinX audience entertainment media destination with a robust social presence that puts the fans first. The launch of espacio.live fills a ‘gap’ in the digital media entertainment news ecosystem as it relates to Hispanic’s diverse content cravings. LatinX fan perspectives and passion points are often underrepresented. espacio.live will give Hispanic entertainment fans, a comprehensive destination for not only the most timely and important behind-the-scenes pop culture stories, but also, curated introductions to diverse emerging LatinX artists, public figures and entertainment changemakers that are not typically showcased across Latino media platforms today – both in-language and in culturally relevant ways.

“Thrilled to bring espacio.live to market, our mission is to go one-on-one and ask the questions of Latino artists that drive pop culture junkies mad – and deliver fresh, inclusive and illuminating truths that today’s LatinX entertainment fans can truly swoon over,” shared Peter Botello, Executive Editorial Director, espacio.live. “By virtue of its platform name, ‘espacio’, we aim to fill a gap lacking in today’s Hispanic entertainment news sphere, with a content strategy that aspires to be a space of editorial differentiation, with progressive and nuanced storytelling engineered for the fan from the fan perspective.”

Botello’s venture into bringing espacio.live to market comes on the heels of a successful run orchestrating similar efforts as part of the creative agency team credited for spearheading Comcast’s Xfinity Latino. Whether breaking entertainment news on Xfinity social channels or dishing out hard-hitting interviews on the red carpet with the biggest stars in Latino entertainment, Botello parlayed hard work and passion into unparalleled success for how the brand interacted with customers and fans in the social media sphere. The new entertainment media property reunites Botello with seasoned advertising and marketing veteran, John Gallegos. Espacio launches as part of Oak Leaf Productions, a company founded by Gallegos.

While espacio.live has been beta testing its fan-to-fan approach since late October at multiple industry events including the Latin GRAMMY Awards, the Latin American Music Awards and the latest season of Mira Quién Baila, its official red-carpet coverage converged yesterday evening, February 20, at Univision’s 32^nd Premio Lo Nuestro gala. In addition to red-carpet coverage, the media platform will showcase curated interviews and behind-the-scenes content inclusive of today’s diverse spectrum of beloved Latino legends emerging Hispanic artists and changemakers across television, music and film. For more information on espacio.live follow @espacio.live on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Tecate Strengthens Commitment To Its Mexican-American Roots With Launch Of ‘Mexico Is In Us’ Campaign

February 21, 2020

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Known as Mexico’s most authentic beer, Tecate today announced the launch of its new ‘Mexico is in Us’ campaign, centered on the belief that whenever you feel Mexican, there is Mexico. The campaign officially introduces Tecate’s completely new brand positioning, which celebrates the maverick spirit of being unapologetically Mexican-American, and debuts the brand’s modernized visual identity.

“This campaign goes beyond simply introducing new creative, it marks Tecate’s evolution into a more culturally relevant focus on bicultural Mexican-Americans who want to break convention and live life on their own terms,” said Oscar Martinez, Tecate Senior Brand Director. “We believe that there’s not such a thing as being half Mexican, as there’s not such a thing as being half you. Through the ‘Mexico is in Us’ campaign, Tecate is inspiring Mexican-Americans to embrace 200 percent of their cultural pride on both sides of the border.”

The ‘Mexico is in Us’ campaign officially launched on February 13th with the release of a 30-second video spot (Credentials), and will continue with a second 30-second spot, to be released today (Emotional). The campaign, created in partnership with Nómades, will run for 32 weeks on a mix of TV, radio, digital and social media platforms, with Spanish versions of each spot airing on Hispanic broadcast television, and Spanish and English versions running across digital, social and radio. The spots were filmed in Los Angeles, as well as in the brand’s namesake city of Tecate Baja California, Mexico, a majestic borderland, standing tall between the USA and Mexico. They were shot under the direction of critically acclaimed director, Alfonso Gómez Rejón.

“Tecate’s journey is unifying, both with roots deeply grounded in the ancestral values and traditions of Mexico, and with admiration for the new generation who contribute to the bicultural evolution by forging their own paths,” said Rejón. “Being from the Texas-Mexican border towns of Laredo and Nuevo Laredo, the ‘Mexico is in Us’ campaign is especially significant to me.”

The debut spot re-introduces drinkers to the Tecate brand via an illustrative review of its legacy as an authentic and unapologetic Mexican-American beer, with an emphasis on its roots and recipe that date back more than 75 years. The second spot is an immersive glimpse into the campaign’s narrative that brings to life the sentiment that Mexico is more than a country; it is a feeling. Both spots are available on Tecate’s YouTube page.

As part of the campaign, the brand has also shifted its focus toward more culturally relevant passion points that celebrate Tecate’s maverick spirit, and drive Mexican-American beer drinkers to live unapologetic lives on their own terms. Honing in on soccer and music, Tecate has invested in sponsorships and retail promotions that will bring the ‘Mexico is in Us’ campaign to life via immersive consumer experiences at key events throughout the year.

“In the past, Tecate’s positioning has exclusively focused on masculinity. What we love about the new campaign is that it embodies a more modern and culturally relevant Mexican-American point of view,” said Belen Pamukoff, Tecate Brand Director. “The ‘Mexico is in Us’ campaign showcases the evolution of the brand and is inclusive of everyone and anyone who embraces the best of what Mexico has to offer.”

The campaign will support Tecate’s USA portfolio, which includes the brand’s signature Tecate Original and Tecate Light products, as well as recent innovations, Tecate Titanium and Tecate Michelada.
