July 31, 2018

Available for free each week from this platform: http://www.revolverpodcasts.com/shows/dmente-positivo-con-ismael-cala/

MIAMI, July 31, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ismael Cala, life and business strategist, lecturer and author of eight bestsellers focused on leadership and emotional intelligence, is introducing four new programs in his August’s podcast dMENTE Positivo, a space dedicated to awake our consciousness and manifest personal growth.

August will bring about programs with excelling guests and themes:

Tuesday, August 7^th: Claudia Sánchez, expert in numerology and Mexican influencer.

After his participation in the Master MOI event in Mexico, Cala amused himself interviewing a variety of interesting people, among them, Claudia Sánchez, who unveils techniques on how to achieve a positive gain from numbers.

Claudia Sánchez’ three keys are:

– Numbers are the Universal Language!
– Numbers can help us achieve greater awareness of our behavior.
– Our belief system, that we grew up with, has key impact in maximizing or minimizing the characteristics that are sealed by our date of birth.

Tuesday, August 14^th: Jeison Aristizábal is an amazing 34-year-old Colombian, born with cerebral paralysis, and today he is an attorney and lecturer.

How do we define intuition? Might it be taken as something esoteric or paranormal? Might it simply be a response from our inner being to help us face uncertainty? This is the story of a young man who overcame great challenges and was never let down by his physical limitations.

Jeison’s keys are:

– We must persevere and make our best effort each day!
– We have everything we need to be happy.
– Dreaming is worthwhile!

Tuesday, August 21: Glenda Umaña, a well-known Costa Rican journalist, former announcer on CNN en Español. Currently a lecturer and mediator.

We have come to realize the importance of being yourself as a business, but not in a commercial aspect; but as a journey of self-discovery and self-esteem. Umaña shares about how changing her job scenario led her to understanding the importance of bringing cycles to a close in a healthy way.

Glenda’s three keys are:

– Free yourself from any nostalgic thought tied to the past, no matter how great it may have been.
– Uncertainty is a part of life.
– When you are not sure on how to approach a certain task or feel insecure about performing it, allow yourself to model someone who can easily do it.

Tuesday, August 28: Marcelo Borlando, an anti-publicist, brand coach strategist and author of the IdolBrand® Star Model.

This world is gravely affected by a profound lack of knowledge about communication. It has been proven that most successful people have the greatest abilities to communicate, and their lives flow easiest.

Marcelo’s three keys are:

– Each one of us is a personal brand.
– Reflect on this: are you a piece, or are you the game?
– Your strength is in your uniqueness.

Ismael Cala and his assistants —Lorena Susso and Moe Morales— will be brimming with information and advice, offering four programs in August .

The podcast is distributed free of charge by the reVolver platform:

Allstate Introduces First-Ever Allstate All-America Program Created To Honor Nation’s Top-Performing High School Soccer Players

July 31, 2018

NORTHBROOK, Illinois, July 31, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Allstate Insurance Company today announced the launch of its first-ever Allstate All-America Soccer platform to recognize the country’s rising high school soccer stars as part of its ongoing commitment to the soccer community and offering superior protection to fans where they live, work and play.

In collaboration with MaxPreps, America’s source for high school sports, Allstate will identify the nation’s top high school soccer players in their junior year and award the “Allstate All-American” title to an elite group of 125 male and 125 female players. From the total 250 high school players, 40 males and 40 females will then be selected for the unique opportunity to compete in the inaugural Allstate All-America Cup that that will take place in summer 2019 in the city that hosts the Major League Soccer All-Star Game presented by Target.

“For more than a decade, Allstate has taken great pride in its commitment to the soccer community, always with the goal of providing superior protection to the fans and the sport they love,” said Pam Hollander, Allstate’s Vice President of Consumer Marketing. “The Allstate All-America program was designed to shine a spotlight on the student-athletes who represent the best of more than 800,000 high school soccer players in America. It extends Allstate’s commitment to soccer in the U.S. that started when we became the Official Insurance Partner of Major League Soccer in 2011.”

Four celebrity head coaches will be named to lead the 80 Allstate All-American Roster Selections who will be divided across two male teams and two female teams. The matches will be televised on ESPNU during 2019 MLS All-Star Week. Additionally, the Allstate All-American Roster Selections will be honored on the field during halftime of the 2019 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target.

Throughout the year, Allstate will celebrate the Allstate All-Americans with a comprehensive content campaign fueled with powerful stories about the selected players, original content from celebrity coaches and social coverage of MLS All-Star Week activities.

“Allstate’s commitment to the sport of soccer is exemplified through the design of the Allstate All-America Soccer platform, and we are honored that they selected MLS All-Star week as the host market,” said Jennifer Cramer, Major League Soccer’s Group Vice President of Partnership Marketing. “Allstate continues to expand their grassroots extensions on the national and local level, and we are looking forward to seeing this platform come to life in 2019.”

The Allstate All-Americans will be announced in multiple phases during the high school soccer season, including one major announcement in the fall of 2018 and the other in spring of 2019. The final selection will include at least one player from each of the 50 states.

Furthermore, as a continuation of Allstate’s long-term commitment to youth soccer initiatives, the brand signed on as the title sponsor of Alianza de Futbol’s “Sueño Alianza” program. Alianza de Futbol is the leading national organization dedicated to the support and development of amateur Hispanic soccer in the United States and Allstate Sueño Alianza provides an opportunity for young Latino soccer players across the country to be scouted by professional clubs for a shot at soccer stardom.

National Alliance for Hispanic Health Announces Partnership with the National Council on Aging

July 30, 2018

WASHINGTON, July 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The National Alliance for Hispanic Health (the Alliance) is announcing a new collaboration with the National Council on Aging (NCOA) to encourage families struggling to make ends meet to consider applying for programs that help supplement their budget for everyday needs like health care, groceries, utilities, and prescriptions. “Given the Hispanic aging boom, it is essential to support older Hispanics to access services that will help them remain as healthy, independent, and self-sufficient as possible,” said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the Alliance, the nation’s leading Hispanic health advocacy group.

Through the partnership, the Alliance’s Su Familia helpline will use NCOA’s BenefitsCheckUp^® online tool to assist families in need of urgent assistance in finding community economic security resources. The BenefitsCheckUp^® website is available anytime for people looking for resources to stretch a tight budget. The site provides free, confidential information about benefit programs and connects families to the community services that can help them apply. Additionally, local partners for both organizations will coordinate outreach at select ¡Vive tu Vida! Get Up! Get Moving! events to provide in-person information and enrollment opportunities.

The poverty rate among Hispanic seniors aged 65 and over is twice the rate for all seniors. Almost half of older single Hispanic seniors and about 15% of couples have incomes below the poverty level. Most Hispanic seniors have at least one chronic condition and many suffer from multiple conditions including diabetes, arthritis and heart disease.

“Hispanics are one of the fastest growing segments of older adults; however, community resources are not meeting the needs of our population. We share NCOA’s mission to improve the lives of older adults in our communities and are excited to add BenefitsCheckUp^® as a resource to assist older Hispanics. If you need information on BenefitsCheckUp^®, other health information, or a referral for yourself or someone you know, we are here to help.

DISH to Offer DishLATINO/Sling Latino Customers Price Relief as Univision Renewal Talks Approach Stalemate

July 30, 2018

ENGLEWOOD, Colorado, July 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — With Univision renewal talks in an apparent deadlock, DISH today has announced it will be offering $5 per month credits to DishLATINO and Sling Latino package subscribers.

On June 30, Univision Communications Inc. blocked DishLATINO and DISH customers from accessing three of its channels: Univision (including local affiliates), UniMás and Galavisión, and blocked Sling customers from accessing all of its channels on the service.

“While we’ve been available, responsive and have made a best effort to negotiate, Univision appears to be forcing an impasse,” said Erik Carlson, DISH president and chief executive officer. “We strongly believe that, in light of Univision’s departure from the negotiation table and from the DISH lineup, it’s the right thing to offer a credit to our DishLATINO and Sling Latino customers.”

Beginning Aug. 1, August bills will reflect a $5-per-month credit for DishLATINO monthly packages. Customers subscribing to the “Best of Spanish TV” standalone service on Sling TV will also be issued a monthly credit of $5. Prices of Spanish-language add-ons will remain $5 per month when combined with Sling Orange, Sling Blue or any other Spanish-language service.

“We assume Univision’s decision is permanent: Univision executives are seeking a massive rate increase despite reports showing the programmer lost more than 50 percent of its prime-time viewership in the last seven years,” said Carlson. “Univision not only offers its content free over the air, but it also sells its content online at a lower price to consumers — $7.99 a month for Univision Now — than what they propose charging DISH.”

Added Carlson: “With these proposals, Univision has sent every signal that it’s abandoning DishLATINO and Sling Latino viewers. We remain committed to serving the Hispanic community in the U.S. with great content at a great value.”

In many markets, Univision is available for free, over the air, with an antenna. To help ensure customers don’t lose access to Univision shows, DISH is continuing to make antennas available for free to DishLATINO and Sling Latino customers in eligible areas through August. Customers seeking more information can visit dishpromise.com or dishlatino.com/promesa. Sling Latino customers can visit help.sling.com or ayuda.sling.com

“Based on Univision’s latest proposed rate increase, DishLATINO and Sling Latino customers would get a better deal if they use a free over-the-air antenna or subscribe to the Univision Now service,” said Carlson.

DishLATINO offers more than 35 Spanish language news, entertainment and sports channels including Telemundo, ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, Azteca and Pasiones.

Sling Latino offers multiple Spanish language viewing options including its Best of Spanish pack, which features Universo, estrellaTV, and History en Español.

“We’ve proudly served the Hispanic community in the U.S. for more than 20 years – Univision has long been part of that heritage,” said Carlson. “We don’t understand why they are abandoning such a massive portion of their viewership.”

DISH and DishLATINO customers seeking more information can visit dishpromise.com or dishlatino.com/promesa. Sling customers can visit help.sling.com or ayuda.sling.com. The list of affected local markets is available here.

About Domino’s Pizza^®Founded in 1960, Domino’s Pizza is the largest pizza company in the world based on global retail sales, with a significant business in both delivery and carryout pizza. It ranks among the world’s top public restaurant brands with a global enterprise of over 15,100 stores in over 85 markets. Domino’s had global retail sales of over $12.2 billion in 2017, with more than $5.9 billion in the U.S. and more than $6.3 billion internationally. In the second quarter of 2018, Domino’s had global retail sales of nearly $3.1 billion, with nearly $1.5 billion in the U.S. and nearly $1.6 billion internationally. Its system is comprised of independent franchise owners who accounted for over 97% of Domino’s stores as of the second quarter of 2018. Emphasis on technology innovation helped Domino’s achieve more than half of all global retail sales in 2017 from digital channels, primarily online ordering and mobile applications. In the U.S., Domino’s generates over 60% of sales via digital channels and has produced several innovative ordering platforms, including Google Home, Facebook Messenger, Apple Watch, Amazon Echo, Twitter and text message using a pizza emoji. In late 2017, Domino’s began an industry-first test of self-driving vehicle delivery with Ford Motor Company – and in April 2018, launched Domino’s HotSpots™, featuring over 200,000 non-traditional delivery locations including parks, beaches, local landmarks and other unique gathering spots.
