WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, Oct. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Olympusat, Inc., one of the largest independent media companies specializing in the ownership, distribution, production and technical services of Spanish and English language networks, was present at the Hispanic TV Summit where Olympusat’s CEO, Tom Mohler, was chosen to participate on a panel discussion on Exploring Options for Incremental Linear and Digital Distribution.

Secretary Cascos Reminds Texans Early Voting in Person begins Monday

October 21, 2016

Early Voting for General Election Begins Oct. 24 and runs through Nov. 4

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Texas Secretary of State Carlos H. Cascos reminds Texans early voting at the polls begins Monday, Oct. 24 and runs through Friday, Nov. 4.

“In-person early voting is a convenient option for voters,” Secretary Cascos said. “During early voting you can cast a ballot at any polling place in your county of registration and also avoid lines that may form on Election Day.”

Secretary Cascos also stressed that early voting is a way to ensure voters are able to vote even if they encounter unexpected events on Election Day.

“Sometimes things happen like a flat tire or a sick child,” Secretary Cascos said. “By voting early you don’t have to worry if you can’t make it to the polls on Election Day.”

Just like on Election Day, identification requirements will be in effect.

Voters who possess one of the seven forms of approved photo ID must use it at the polls. The seven forms of approved photo ID are:

Texas driver license issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
Texas personal identification card issued by DPS
Texas license to carry a handgun issued by DPS
United States military identification card containing the person’s photograph
United States citizenship certificate containing the person’s photograph
United States passport

(With the exception of the U.S. citizenship certificate, the approved photo ID must be current or have expired no more than four years before being presented for voter qualification at the polling place.)

Currently, Texas voters who do not possess and cannot reasonably obtain one of the seven forms of approved photo ID have additional options when casting their ballots. As provided by court order, if a voter does not possess and is not reasonably able to obtain one of the seven forms of approved photo ID, the voter may vote by (1) signing a declaration at the polls explaining why the voter is reasonably unable to obtain one of the seven forms of approved photo ID, and (2) providing one of various forms of supporting documentation.

Supporting documentation can be a certified birth certificate (must be an original), a valid voter registration certificate, a copy or original of one of the following: current utility bill, bank statement, government check, or paycheck, or other government document that shows the voter’s name and an address, although government documents which include a photo must be original and cannot be copies. If a voter meets these requirements and is otherwise eligible to vote, the voter will be able to cast a regular ballot in the election.

Voters with questions about the registration process and how to cast a ballot can visit VoteTexas.gov or call 1-800-252-VOTE. Texans can join the #VoteTexas conversation this election by following Vote Texas’ Facebook, Twitter and Instagram social platforms.

NHTSA is the only organization that rates rollover resistance, in addition to frontal and side crashworthiness. New aspects of the ratings system include side pole testing, using different sized crash-test dummies, offering a single Overall Vehicle Score per vehicle and highlighting new crash avoidance technologies.

Startup Weekend in Oakland Focused on Latinx Entrepreneurs in Tech

October 20, 2016

The Kapor Center for Social Impact works to make the technology ecosystem and entrepreneurship more diverse and inclusive.

OAKLAND, California, Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Kapor Capital and Kapor Center for Social Impact will host a Startup Weekend to bring visibility to rising Latinx tech talent in the Bay Area. The event will take place on Friday, October 21 to Sunday, October 23, with the awards ceremony at 5pm on Sunday, at the Kapor Center in Oakland.

Throughout the Startup Weekend, VC and industry experts will work with technical and non-technical entrepreneurs to design tech solutions that address problems disproportionately affecting the Latinx community.

Organizers of this event chose to use the gender-neutral term “Latinx” (pronounced la-teen-ex) to highlight the intersectionality of the Latin-American identity across race, gender, and language.

Media should make note of the following details for the event:

WHEN:	Friday, Oct 21, 6pm: Event Begins
	Sunday, Oct 23, 9pm: Event Judging/Awards Presentation

WHERE:	Kapor Center
	2148 Broadway (@Franklin)
	Oakland, CA 94612

WHO:	Mitch Kapor, Partner at Kapor Capital & Kapor Center for Social Impact
	Carolina Huaranca, Principal at Kapor Capital
	Andrew Tang, Managing Director of Draper Dragon Fund, Partner at Draper Associates, CEO of Hero City at Draper University
	Monique Woodward, Founder/Executive Director of Black Founders, Venture Partner at 500 Startups

WHY:	The complex intersectionalities of the Latinx population in the U.S., coupled with their increasing technology consumption make this ethnic group one of the most misunderstood, yet powerful, communities of our time. By 2060, over a quarter of the entire U.S. population will be Latinx – that’s about 119 million people – representing over a trillion dollars of economic power.

The next big thing in tech to impact the Latinx community is not going to come out of the current demographics of Silicon Valley. Latinx are still vastly underrepresented in tech. This startup weekend aims to be a platform for aspiring Latinx entrepreneurs to innovate and create tech business ideas that will benefit their communities.

Startup Weekends are 54-hour events designed to provide superior experiential education for technical and non-technical entrepreneurs, beginning with Friday night pitches and continuing through brainstorming, business plan development, and basic prototype creation.

Western Dental Joins California Health Leaders Supporting Proposition 56

October 20, 2016

ORANGE, California, Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Western Dental & Orthodontics, one of the nation’s leaders in accessible, affordable, high-quality oral health care, announced that it has joined a coalition of health care providers in California to support Proposition 56 on the general election ballot in November.

Western Dental, which has more than 160 California offices, joins a broad alliance of Proposition 56 supporters that includes physicians, educators, health care advocates, and organizations such as California Dental Association, California Medical Association, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, and American Lung Association.

Proposition 56 would raise California’s tobacco tax, which is currently among the lowest in the country, to $2.87 per pack. The majority of the money from the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products containing nicotine, including e-cigarettes, will be used for improving health programs and research into cures for cancer and other illnesses caused by smoking and tobacco products.

According to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, California’s current tax of 87 cents per pack is ranked 37^th in the country. The tax hasn’t been raised in nearly 20 years.

“Tobacco is responsible for killing 40,000 Californians each year. That total is more than people killed by guns, car accidents, alcohol, illegal drugs and HIV combined,” said Dr. John Luther, Chief Dental Officer at Western Dental. “By taxing tobacco, we will save lives by getting people to quit smoking. But more importantly, it will stop young people from ever starting. Proposition 56 also will support important health care programs like Medi-Cal and Denti-Cal for low-income California residents.”

California currently spends $3.5 billion each year treating cancer and other tobacco-related diseases through Medi-Cal. The “No” on Proposition 56 campaign is funded entirely by tobacco companies.

The benefits of Proposition 56 include:

Reduce teen smoking: Studies indicate that 90 percent of smokers start as teens. An estimated 17,000 California kids get hooked on smoking and one-third of them will eventually die from a tobacco-related illness. In every other state that has raised the tobacco tax, smoking rates have gone down among teens.
Save Lives: Smoking is the No. 1 cause of preventable death in California. Proposition 56 will not only help prevent teens from smoking, it will improve health care by fighting cancer and other tobacco-related diseases.
Smokers will pay to improve health care: Proposition 56 will serve as a user fee. If you don’t use tobacco, you won’t pay.

ABOUT WESTERN DENTAL
Western Dental (with its affiliate Brident Dental & Orthodontics) is one of the nation’s largest dental providers and is the leader in accessible, affordable, high-quality oral health care, with over 2 million patient visits annually in more than 200 affiliated offices throughout California, Arizona, Nevada and Texas.

Keep Your Car Breathing Well: Change the Air Filters

October 20, 2016

BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — You need clean air to breathe and so does your car, and a vehicle’s air filters make that possible. The non-profit Car Care Council reminds car owners to have the engine and cabin air filters inspected and changed regularly to ensure vehicle longevity and interior comfort.

“Air filters are your vehicle’s first line of defense against contaminants that reduce cabin air quality and negatively impact engine performance,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Community car care events held throughout the country reveal that nearly one out of five vehicles is in need of air filter replacement, so it’s evident that motorists often overlook this simple, yet important service.”

The vehicle’s engine air filter traps dirt particles that can cause damage to engine cylinders, cylinder walls, pistons, piston rings and bearings, leading to the engine losing power. The air filter also plays a critical role in keeping pollutants from contaminating the airflow sensor on fuel-injected cars. A normal wear item that requires regular checks and replacement, air filters should be inspected at each oil change and replaced annually or when showing other signs of contamination.

The cabin air filter is responsible for cleaning the air entering the passenger compartment. Under normal circumstances, it helps trap pollen, bacteria, dust and exhaust gases that may find their way into a vehicle’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, compromising interior air quality and damaging the system. Most cabin air filters are accessed through the panel in the HVAC housing, which may be under the hood or placed within the interior of the vehicle. A cabin air filter should not be cleaned and reinstalled. Instead, it should be replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or per the owner’s manual.

To help motorists “be car care aware,” the Car Care Council has free tools available on its website, including a personalized service schedule, an 80-page Car Care Guide in English and Spanish, and a Car Care Minute video about cabin air filters.

The Car Care Council is the source of information for the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers. For a copy of the council’s Car Care Guide or for more information, visit www.carcare.org.

Toyota Corolla Takes The Wheel Of Season Two Of Univision Network’s “La Banda” To Find The Next Latin Super Group Craze

October 20, 2016

Univision Network's "La Banda" season one-winning group CNCO partners with Toyota to create an exciting ride for contestants and fans alike.

TORRANCE, California, Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Thousands of young men and women from all over the country have flocked to auditions for the opportunity to win a coveted spot in the next Latin super group craze on Univision Network’s popular music-based multi-media reality entertainment competition “La Banda”. As the competition heightens, the 2017 Toyota Corolla is driving into the action with an exciting multi-platform guest experience that features digital, on-air and social elements that pursue these talented contestants on their hopeful journey to the finale.

In addition, red-hot, season one-winning group CNCO is partnering with Toyota to create an exciting ride for contestants and fans alike, with the Corolla playing a starring role in a music video directed by creative director Carlos Perez, whose clients include Ricky Martin and Marc Anthony, among others. Fans will help steer the narrative of the video by casting their vote for what they feel should be the closing scene through a live online poll on Toyota Latino’s Facebook page in late October. The completed video will be available on CNCO’s official VEVO channel and Toyota Latino’s Facebook page when it launches later this year.

“Toyota recognizes the power of music to connect people together,” said Nancy Inouye, National Media Director for Toyota. “Taking part in the creative process with talented rising stars like CNCO is a great opportunity for us to engage our guests in a fun, organic way. We’ll be able to give them an up close and personal view of the musical journey as we join them for the ride to the next destination.”

As La Banda’s second season unfolds, the Toyota Corolla will increasingly drive the action as fans experience special moments with the contestants – from Corolla car-a-oke with the show’s co-host and TV presenter, William Valdés, to nail-biting moments when contestants’ fate on the show is rescued thanks to the Toyota “wild card” moment.

In addition, fans on-the-go will be able to keep track of their favorite performers through the Univision Conecta app, their VIP all-access pass for exclusive content and to engage with the show in real-time. Via the app, fans can build their fantasy band (Mi Banda), powered by Toyota. The interactive experience allows fans to follow their favorite contestants along the journey all the while collecting miles on the road to the finale. Each week, fans with the highest score will win an autographed CNCO poster.

To cap off the season, two lucky fans with the highest scores will be flown to Miami and whisked to the final live show in a Corolla, courtesy of Toyota. They will witness the crowning of the winning band, be featured online on Univision’s La Banda Extra page, and meet the band as the Season Two journey of La Banda comes to a close on Sunday December 11.

Aeromexico Introduces Its First Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner

October 20, 2016

Aeromexico's Boeing 787-9 "Quetzalcoatl" new images

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Aeromexico unveiled its first Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner called “Quetzalcoatl” at the carrier’s hangar in the Mexico City International Airport, as the latest addition to the airline’s fleet.

This airplane is the first of ten of these models the airline ordered in a package it announced in July 2012, representing the largest investment in the history of Mexican aviation. Aeromexico took delivery of its first Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner three years ago, and currently has nine of these aircraft in its fleet, which it uses to serve different international destinations.

Passengers on this airplane will enjoy the comfort of a new configuration with 274 seats in two cabins. Clase Premier, Aeromexico’s business class cabin, features 36 true 180-degree flat-bed seats in a 1-2-1 configuration for complete passenger comfort with full autonomy between aisles. The individual 18-inch touchscreens are two inches larger than those featured on the Boeing 787-8, and feature two live television channels, movies, TV series, and music albums, for more than 200 total hours of entertainment. Amenities in Clase Premier also include an innovative bar with the best food and beverage brands as part of its continuous refreshment service during the flight.

The Economy cabin has 238 ergonomic seats, with individual 11-inch touchscreens, two inches larger than those featured on the carrier’s other models, offering a wide variety of movies, TV series, music, a seat-to-seat chat system, and real time flight information. Like other aircraft in the Aeromexico fleet, this model also features WiFi service giving customers the option to surf the web in-flight.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner is lighter and environmentally-friendlier than other aircraft in its category, thanks to its carbon fiber structure that cuts the noise created on takeoff and landing by 57% and reduces fuel consumption by 23%, representing a 20% reduction in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.

“We are proud to take delivery of this new Boeing 787-9 called Quetzalcoatl with its unique and original design that will represent Mexico across the globe. The airline hired the best suppliers in the world to obtain this mix of technology and comfort to benefit the thousands of Aeromexico customers who would rather fly on this airplane than on the other options available in the market,” said Aeromexico CEO Andres Conesa.

Aeromexico will start to serve the Amsterdam, London, Madrid, New York, Paris, Santiago, Shanghai, and Tokyo routes in coming weeks, with the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with aircraft registration number XA-ADL that landed at the Mexico City International Airport from Seattle on October 12.
