“We know the significant impact educational literature can have on a child’s life, and we’re partnering with First Book to not only provide learning resources, but also to encourage a passion for reading by celebrating Dìa de los Libros with students in Miami,” said Pamela H. Patsley, MoneyGram’s executive chairman. “The MoneyGram Foundation was designed to inspire minds and improve lives, and we’re working toward this goal across the U.S. It’s exciting to see firsthand the impact we are having on communities in need.”

The event, held at Henry M. Flagler Elementary School, included students, members of the community, and representatives from the MoneyGram Foundation and First Book. Educational materials were donated by Market Logic. Additionally, a futbolero entertained students by performing soccer tricks and teaching a short soccer clinic.

“Children in many U.S. communities are at a disadvantage due to a lack of high-quality reading materials, and we’re excited to be collaborating with the MoneyGram Foundation in an effort to close this gap,” said Kyle Zimmer, president and CEO of First Book. “First Book has already donated more than 145 million free and low-cost books in North America, but there are more in need, and every book donation helps.”

Miami is the third stop on the summer-long program tour hosted by the MoneyGram Foundation and First Book. A similar event will be held in New York later this year, and the MoneyGram Foundation plans to bring the program to additional U.S. cities – and also to other countries.

If you purchased breakfast sandwiches at Starbucks locations in California between April 28, 2015 and August 17, 2015, you may be entitled to either reimbursement or credit from a class action settlement

September 23, 2016

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement is being issued by Azadian Law Group, PC regarding the Starbucks Breakfast Sandwich class action settlement.

If you purchased breakfast sandwiches at Starbucks locations in California between April 28, 2015 and August 17, 2015, you may be entitled to either reimbursement or credit from a class action settlement.

A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit claiming that during the period between April 28, 2015 and August 17, 2015, certain Starbucks stores in California charged customers a price higher than the listed price for two breakfast sandwiches: the Reduced-Fat Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich and the Sausage & Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich. Some company-owned Starbucks stores in California allegedly charged customers $3.75 when the listed price was $3.45 for the Reduced-Fat Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich and $3.45 when the listed price was $3.25 for the Sausage & Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich. Starbucks denies all claims and liability in this case but has agreed to settle to avoid further expense, inconvenience, interference with its ongoing business operations, and burdensome litigation.

Who is a Class Member?

You are a class member if you purchased either a Reduced-Fat Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich or Sausage & Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich from a company-owned Starbucks store in California between April 28, 2015 and August 17, 2015. Note this issue did not affect licensed Starbucks stores (i.e., those located on or in grocery stores, including but not limited to Vons/Safeway, Albertsons, Ralph’s, Target stores, hotels, college campuses, and airport terminals).

What does the settlement provide?

Settlement funds of up to $365,237.40 will be made available to reimburse or partially reimburse Class Members for the sandwiches. From the settlement fund, Plaintiff will request an incentive fee of $5,000 for her efforts and Class Counsel will request reimbursement of litigation costs of approximately $6,500, but not to exceed $7,000. Class Counsel will also apply to the Court for an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees that seeks an award of attorneys’ fees consistent with California law, but not more than 25% of the Gross Settlement Fund. Additionally, Starbucks has agreed to pay the costs related to notifying the class about this settlement and to administer the settlement.

If you made purchases connected to your Starbucks Rewards account, you will automatically receive a credit to your Starbucks Rewards account in the amount of $0.25 for each sandwich purchased during the Class Period for which you were overcharged. You do NOT need to complete a Claim Form.

If you made a purchase NOT connected to a Starbucks Rewards account, you MUST complete a Claim Form online at www.BreakfastSandwichSettlement.com by December 22, 2016. To file a claim, choose one of the following options:

Option 1: If you have Proof of Purchase, you can receive $0.25 for each valid purchase. The refund shall be issued in the form of an Electronic Coupon Code to use toward the purchase of any product of your choice at company-owned Starbucks stores. This credit will expire 90 days after issuance.

Option 2: If you do not have Proof of Purchase, you must confirm under penalty of perjury that you purchased at least one Reduced-Fat Turkey Bacon or Sausage & Cheddar breakfast sandwich during the class period. You will receive a $0.50 Electronic Coupon Code to use toward the purchase of any product of your choice at company-owned Starbucks stores. This credit will expire 90 days after issuance.

What are my rights?

Do nothing: If you made valid purchases not connected to a Starbucks Rewards account, you will not receive money, but you will still be bound by the Court’s decisions.

Exclude yourself: You will not receive benefits from the settlement but you will maintain your right to sue Starbucks about the legal claims in this case. To exclude yourself, you must do so in writing by December 22, 2016.

Object: You may object to any part of the settlement in writing by December 22, 2016.

The proposed Settlement Agreement is subject to Court approval. On January 23, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. in Department 307, Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, Central Civil West Courthouse, 600 South Commonwealth Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90005, a hearing will be held on whether the proposed settlement should be approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate. You or your lawyer may appear at the hearing, but you don’t have to. The motion for attorneys’ fees and costs and plaintiff incentive awards will be posted on the settlement website at www.BreakfastSandwichSettlement.com after they are filed.

Yandel And Becky G To Perform A Newly Created Version Of The Smash Hit “Somos Uno” At The Global Citizen Festival To Raise Awareness For Deborra-lee Furness’ Charity: Hopeland

September 22, 2016

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Two international recording artists are joining forces for a live performance to galvanize support around a social issue: Ensuring abandoned and vulnerable children have a safe, loving and permanent family.

Video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GHN_zVSnpA

Yandel will perform a newly created version of his smash hit ‘Somos Uno’ (‘We Are One’), alongside Becky G, live at this year’s Global Citizen Festival on Sept. 24 in New York City’s Central Park to raise awareness of the crisis around vulnerable and abandoned children. This initiative is spearheaded by the charity Hopeland, which includes Deborra-lee Furness as its Honorary Board Member. She will also be co-hosting the festival and personally introducing the artists before their performance.

“Hopeland is honored to have Yandel and Becky G perform a special cover of the song ‘Somos Uno’ at this year’s Global Citizen Festival,” said Hopeland CEO and Co-Founder Nick Evans. “This performance will highlight the plight of tens of millions of children around the world who are living without the care of a family, putting their health and safety at risk: One in three is homeless, one in five has a criminal record and one in 10 commits suicide.”

Yandel and Becky G will perform at the festival alongside artists including Rihanna, Demi Lovato, Kendrick Lamar, Major Lazer and Metallica.

“I’m excited to work with Hopeland, and honored to perform a version of my song,” said Grammy award-winner Yandel. “I think it’s important to share your voice to help those in need.”

This year’s Global Citizen Festival will continue to draw attention to the effects of poverty on health and education, focusing on how girls and women are disproportionately affected.

Singer, songwriter and actress Becky G added: “As a woman, I feel such solidarity with this year’s Global Citizen Festival theme and Hopeland’s mission. I’m excited to hit the stage with Yandel and shine a light on these important issues.”

To support Hopeland’s mission, everyone is encouraged to sign the Declaration of Dependence at https://ourhopeland.org/ and elevate the voice of vulnerable children everywhere. Anyone can watch the performance from 3pm EDT here and get behind the scene coverage from Hopeland across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

On Demand Conference Provides Unique Opportunity to Stay Current with Business Changes Thursday, September 29, 2016 | Manhattan NYC — An Affinia Hotel

September 22, 2016

Learn From Industry Greats at On Demand! Keynotes by Michael Paull, Vice President, Digital Video, Amazon; Brian Hughes, SVP, Audience Intelligence & Strategy, MAGNA; Stephen Meyer, VP, Video Strategy & Analysis, Comcast Cable

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Staying current with shifting trends in the business of on demand television and video will be the focus of next week’s On Demand conference, presented by Broadcasting & Cable and Multichannel News. The event is presented only once each year, and will be held on Thursday, September 29, 2016 at Manhattan NYC – An Affinia Hotel, across from Penn Station on Seventh Avenue at West 31^st Street in New York City.

“Don’t be left behind” is the message from Louis Hillelson, VP and Group Publisher for Broadcasting & Cable and Multichannel News. He added, “The television and video viewer is shifting from linear to on demand faster than anyone had anticipated and this is having an impact on how the business balances expense with profit. Quite simply, on demand is how we’ll all consume video from now on.”

Attendees at this year’s On Demand conference will hear data and research findings from comScore and MAGNA that will support Hillelson’s remark about shifting preferences of viewership. The conference also features a keynote interview with Michael Paull of Amazon who will provide insights into the reasons for the current trends, as well as address timely topics like enhancing the viewer experience and identifying the ideal set of skills required for TV executives, today. Attendees will learn how these industry changes present a challenge for live sports coverage, and how studios are preparing themselves to make wise budgetary decisions for greenlighting original content. They’ll also hear how advertisers and advertising sales representatives are growing a fairly new revenue stream for on demand.

Participants in this conference will enjoy discussions about traditional pay-per-view and movies on demand, which have long sustained the profitability of this segment of the industry, and how new options are influencing the latest financial forecasts. Those on the distribution roundtable will debate where the profitability will be in the near future, and will argue the long term benefits of current business models. A closing discussion about viewers and content focuses on the amount of content choices, the distinct advantages of linear vs. on demand distribution, as well as the best content to drive transactions.

The afternoon keynote presentation by Comcast Cable’s Stephen Meyer will present this leading company’s strategy for staying ahead of the trends like “stacking,” new platforms like Comcast’s X-1, and the best on demand options from this Fall’s lineup of new shows. Hillelson added, “This keynote, plus the other special presentations and roundtables in our program, will offer attendees details, data, ideas and perspective, and hopefully, a plan for next steps, so that they are prepared to leverage the shifting trend towards on demand viewing.”

The conference will also include opportunities for fun and networking as well as smaller group discussions during the “Meet, Greet & Eat” luncheon period. There will be an interactive movie quiz you can play throughout the day, a “my favorite movie photo booth,” plus a chance to win a top-brand, large-screen Smart 4K Ultra HD with HDR TV. Attendees can also meet Melissa Gorga of Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New Jersey.” She will be on-site to sign autographs during the event’s closing reception from 5:00-6:00 p.m. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and the program kicks-off at 10 a.m.

Hillelson concluded by stating, “This is a once-a-year conference, so it is the best chance this year to remain up to date with on demand.” See the full agenda and all participants online, and register by visiting https://nbmedia.swoogo.com/ondemand.

The On Demand conference is produced by Schramm Marketing Group for Broadcasting & Cable and Multichannel News.

FAU Poll Finds Hispanics Backing Clinton Over Trump in Florida, Ohio, Nevada, Colorado and North Carolina

September 22, 2016

The Business and Economics Polling Initiative (BEPI) at Florida Atlantic University conducts surveys on business, economic, political, and social issues with main focus on Hispanic attitudes and opinions at regional, state and national levels.

BOCA RATON, Florida, Sept. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Hillary Clinton is leading Donald Trump among Hispanics in the key battleground states of Florida, Ohio, Nevada, Colorado and North Carolina, according to a new survey by the Florida Atlantic University Business and Economics Polling Initiative (FAU BEPI).

Of the five states polled, Florida provides the most Electoral College votes. The race there is shaping up as one of the closest races in the country, and Hispanics, which account for nearly one in every five voters (19 percent) could make the difference. The latest poll shows Clinton leads Trump among Hispanics in Florida by a margin of 53 percent to 34 percent.

In Ohio, where a growing Hispanic population accounts for 4 percent of the total vote, Clinton leads Trump 51 percent to 29 percent. In 2008, 65 percent of Hispanics in Ohio voted for U.S. President Barack Obama and in 2012, 54 percent voted to re-elect him.

Hispanics are estimated to make up 23 percent of the vote in Nevada. They have historically voted Democrat, with Obama winning 76 percent of their votes in 2008 and 71 percent in 2012. Clinton has a 54 to 25 percent lead over Trump among Hispanics.

In Colorado, where Hispanics are estimated to make up 15 percent of the state vote, Clinton is outpacing Trump 68 percent to 16 percent. President Obama won 61 percent of the vote in 2008 and 75 percent in 2012.

North Carolina Hispanics, which comprise an estimated 5 percent of the total vote, favor Clinton 57 percent to 29 percent over Trump. Obama lost the state in 2012 despite winning votes from 68 percent of Hispanics.

Clinton leads Trump among younger Hispanic voters (18 to 34 years old) in all five states by a range of 24 to 45 points. Clinton is also winning among Hispanic Independents in every state except Ohio.

Trump suffers from a very unfavorable image in every state, faring worst in Colorado with nearly 80 percent of Hispanics having an unfavorable opinion of him.

“Republicans cannot continue to underperform with Hispanics and maintain a realistic ability to win some of these battleground states,” said Kevin Wagner, Ph.D., associate professor of political science at FAU and a research fellow of the Initiative.
