TruConnect Announces Four New Prepaid Wireless Plan Options That Deliver Affordable Flexibility
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — TruConnect, a national provider of wireless voice, messaging and data services, today announces the introduction of four new prepaid wireless plans offering unlimited talk and global text, with options to add additional monthly data to each plan. The company also announced new ‘top-up’ offerings for its wireless plan users under its Forever DataSM platform, the industry’s first data solution to provide service without an expiration date as long as the customer remains active.
The new TruConnect wireless prepaid plans all include unlimited domestic calling on a nationwide wireless network, unlimited global texting, as well as traditional features such as voicemail, caller ID and call waiting. Plan pricing starts at $25 per month which includes a monthly data allotment of 100 MB of data, or users can upgrade to 500 MB for $35 per month, 2 GB for $45 per month, or, unlimited data at $55 per month (first 4 GB at 4G LTE speeds).
“We understand our customers live varied lifestyles and need affordable talk, text and data plans to suit their wireless phone needs. With our new TruConnect plans and Forever DataSM Top-Up options, our customers will be able to find a plan that best fits them and eliminates having to pay more for services they don’t need,” said Matthew Johnson, co-CEO of TruConnect.
The new TruConnect Forever DataSM Top-Up options allow users to “re-charge” their data for as little as $5. The beauty of Forever DataSM Top-Ups is that the data never expires. As long as a customer’s account remains active in the most recent 60 days and their account is in good standing, Forever DataSM simply stays with them. Forever DataSM Top-Ups can be added to any phone or mobile data plan. Top-Up options begin at 100 MB for $5, 300 MB for $10, 1 GB for $25, and 2 GB for $45.
“We strongly believe when you buy our Forever DataSM, you should be able to use it with no expiration date, like other phone companies do. We’ve developed this option because we are dedicated to helping our customers by offering them contract-free, affordable data in hopes to accommodate their budgets and wireless service needs,” continued Johnson.

Smithsonian Collects Hispanic Advertising History
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History added campaign materials and personal artifacts related to Hispanic advertising agencies and their founders through a collaboration with AHAA: the Voice of Hispanic Marketing. AHAA is supporting the museum’s initiative to expand on the advertising collections held in its Archives Center with a financial donation as well as with introductions to agency leaders and firms who significantly impacted advertising history.
Experience the interactive Multimedia News Release here: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/7433931-national-museum-of-american-history/
Latino agency founders and creative leaders who donated to the museum include Michelle and Joe Zubizarreta of Zubi Advertising in Miami, Fla.; Gabriela Alcantara-Diaz, founder of Semilla AD, representing The IAC Group of Miami; Alex and Cathy López Negrete of Houston-based Lopez Negrete Communications; Hector and Norma Orcí of Orcí Advertising (formerly La Agencia de Orcí) of Santa Monica, Calif; Tony Dieste of Dieste Inc. in Dallas and Sara Sunshine, representing the legacy agencies, SAMS (Spanish Advertising & Marketing Services), the first recognized U.S. Hispanic agency founded in 1962 and Siboney Advertising. The objects were presented during a special ceremony Oct. 26 that coincided with AHAA’s 20th anniversary as a national trade group representing Hispanic advertising agencies as well as media, marketing and communication companies.
“Hispanic entrepreneurs changed the face of American advertising,” said Kathleen Franz, the museum’s business history curator. “The partnership with AHAA helps the Smithsonian collect and document the evolution of Latino communications and its influence on the general market.”
The museum’s recently opened “American Enterprise” exhibition prominently features the story of advertising and marketing, including an 80-foot-wall with advertisements and popular slogans as well as a business section exploring the growth of the advertising industry as Americans changed how they thought about their roles as producers and consumers.
Among the acquisitions are the archives of Sunshine, a Cuban immigrant, which feature advertising print, audio and visuals from the 1960s to 1990s and include her work for Colgate and Palmolive. She also donated the first Clio awarded in 1987 to a Hispanic Agency. Zubi Advertising’s legacy, founded in 1976 by Tere A. Zubizarreta, is represented by a ship model made by Cuban “balseros” as well as early agency documents. Opened in 1985, Lopez Negrete Communications gave a coin with the credo that has guided the agency since its inception as well as a crystal memento given to clients when the agency purchased its own building during its 25th anniversary in 2010. Orcí Advertising, founded in 1986, donated a painting that was the centerpiece of an Immigration and Naturalization Service legalization campaign that same year as well as the advertising that resulted in the legalization of 3.1 million eligible immigrants. The IAC Group is represented with the Clio award winning “Bolero” magazine ad for the Johnny Walker “Antes, después y siempre. Etiqueta Negra” campaign created in 1987. Dieste Inc., which opened its doors in 1995, has contributed the first Cannes Lion awarded to a U.S. Hispanic firm for the Pepsi Goal campaign in 1996 and a Mexican figurine of personal significance to Tony Dieste. In addition to objects that served as inspiration for the founding of the various agencies, the museum expects to add creative campaigns from each.
In January, the museum added objects, visuals and print campaigns as well as the business records that document the legacy of Sosa, Bromley, Aguilar & Associates, an agency originally founded in 1981. The museum also holds the Clotilde Arias archives. Arias, a Peruvian immigrant and composer, worked on Madison Avenue in the late 1940s as a copywriter and rose to head Spanish-language advertising at the Robert Otto Agency. She previously worked for J. Walter Thompson.
The museum’s Archives Center holds archival materials (documents, photographs, oral histories, film and video) and three-dimensional objects (packaging, point-of-sale displays, signage, premiums and personal objects from advertising agents.) It preserves significant campaigns from companies such as Alka-Seltzer, Federal Express, Cover Girl and Nike as well as the records of the NW Ayer Agency.
Through incomparable collections, rigorous research and dynamic public outreach, the National Museum of American History explores the richness and complexity of American history. The museum helps people understand the past in order to make sense of the present and shape a more humane future. For more information, visit http://americanhistory.si.edu. Located at 14th Street and Constitution Avenue N.W., the museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (closed Dec. 25). Admission is free. For Smithsonian information, the public may call (202) 633-1000.
In Preparation for the Holidays, Power Up Your Week with Nature’s Sweetener!
FIRESTONE, Colorado, Oct. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Adults and children are already gearing up for the flurry of fast approaching holiday activities. The one thing that everyone can agree on that is absolutely essential to keep moving for the season is food and lots of energy. But instead of surrendering to the holiday temptations that are beginning to pop-up everywhere, including the workplace, there are all-natural food alternatives that can be energizing and guilt-free. For this reason, in partnership with acclaimed registered dietitian nutritionist and blogger Christy Wilson, the National Honey Board (NHB) is introducing simple, seasonal meals and snack bites that can be powered-up with nature’s natural energizer – honey. The campaign incorporates a combination of wholesome, energizing food choices with honey that they can be served this fall for well-balanced and easy-to-pack breakfasts, lunch or even as healthy snacks on-the-go, creating lots of energy to get through the holidays ahead.
“As a source of carbohydrates necessary to maintain energy, honey provides the body with essential fuel needed during times when people are really active,” explained Wilson. “Especially during the holidays, consumers are always grabbing quick meals to keep themselves energized while running around from place to place. As part of a wholesome sit-down meal or as a sweet reward, honey is an easy, all-natural energy source that all family members age one and up can turn to for the energy needed to get through their busy fall schedules and all the festivities ahead.”
Wilson, an avid cook, health advocate and named one of Latina Magazine’s Top 10 Latina Health and Fitness Bloggers in 2013, created an array of balanced pre-holiday palate-pleasing breakfast bites, energizing snacks and light meal options, combining all-natural honey with fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and other healthy ingredients to generate unbeatable flavor profiles that provide power-packed food for children and adults alike. These recipes are also portable, easily packed to-go in lunch boxes for healthy eating throughout the week at school or in the workplace or even for those fall hikes or bike rides.
The entire family can enjoy eating more balanced meals throughout the day without resorting to consuming processed sweeteners and foods, especially during this time of year when holiday foods and treats are everywhere. Among Wilson’s scrumptious power-packed food items featured on www.mielpura.org that will help families get powered up and energized this season are:

Demi Lovato & Nick Jonas Invite You To Experience ‘FUTURE NOW: THE TOUR’
NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Multi-platinum selling music artists, Demi Lovato & Nick Jonas, invite you to experience FUTURE NOW: THE TOUR. The North American tour, produced by Live Nation, will kick off on June 24, 2016 as the two influential entertainers join forces for what will be one of the year’s most anticipated summer music events. FUTURE NOW: THE TOUR will visit over 40 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada including stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, Las Vegas, Vancouver and more. A full list of FUTURE NOW: THE TOUR dates is below.

Citi® cardmembers will have access to pre-sale tickets beginning Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. local time through Citi’s Private Pass® Program. For complete pre-sale details, visit www.citiprivatepass.com. Tickets for the general public go on sale Saturday, Nov. 7 at www.livenation.com.
Demi Lovato’s newest album, CONFIDENT, is out now on Hollywood Records/Island Records/Safehouse Records and features the #1 iTunes smash single “Cool For The Summer.” Lovato kicked off the release of CONFIDENT with powerful and poignant performances on “Saturday Night Live,” which generated the #1 worldwide trending topic on Twitter and massive coverage by the media. Following the performance, the Village Voice declared, “Issue a warrant for Demi Lovato ’cause girl murdered ‘Saturday Night Live,'” adding, “Lovato’s full-throttle vocal assault on the Studio 8H stage with (“Confident”) could service as a career standout for her.”
Demi will perform songs from the critically acclaimed new album on “Good Morning America” (Oct. 29) as well as “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” (Oct. 30). Critical praise for Lovato’s CONFIDENT has been equally stellar. Billboard Magazine asserted, “Demi Lovato has become one of pop’s leading motivational figures,” while People Magazine lauded, “It’s Lovato’s dynamite vocals and striking vulnerability on aching ballads and gospel anthems that make CONFIDENT such a triumph,” and USA Today avowed, “She inarguably has one of the strongest instruments in pop right now.”
Island Records Artist, Nick Jonas introduced himself as a fully formed solo artist on his hit self-titled debut, released in November 2014. The critically-acclaimed album includes double-platinum smash single and #1 U.S. radio hit, “Jealous” and his sultry second chart-climbing radio single, “Chains.” Jonas attributes his album’s darker overtones partially to the fact that while he was recording, he was also shooting the gritty television show ‘Kingdom’ — a mixed martial arts drama that premiered on DirecTV’s Audience Network last fall and was recently picked up for two additional seasons. Jonas recently earned two more high-profile roles, a guest starring role in Fox’s horror-comedy series, ‘Scream Queens’ and a lead in the James Franco produced film, ‘Goat’. Showing no signs of slowing down this year, the breakout solo powerhouse joined forces with west coast rapper-producer Sage the Gemini to release their summer collaboration, “Good Thing.” Jonas’ latest single, “Levels,” has already amassed over 12 million views on YouTube and is rapidly climbing the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He also recently wrapped up his sold-out North American “LIVE IN CONCERT” tour and has been nominated for a 2015 American Music Award for Favorite Male Artist – Pop/Rock.

Angelica Fuentes sues Jorge Vergara in the United States for violations of the “Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act”
EL PASO, Texas, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — On October 19, 2015, Angélica Fuentes Tellez filed a lawsuit against Jorge Vergara in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas alleging that Vergara violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (commonly known as “RICO”), a law designed to combat organized crime in America.
In the complaint, Fuentes contends that Vergara designed a scheme involving acts of coercion and intimidation directed at Fuentes, with the ultimate goal of taking Fuentes’s shares in Grupo Omnilife, and keeping the shares for himself. Vergara intended to coerce Fuentes into relinquishing her shares in Grupo Omnilife by unilaterally ousting her from Grupo Omnilife, taking complete control of Grupo Omnilife and all of its subsidiaries, including Omnilife USA. Fuentes alleges that Vergara took control of, and continues to operate, Grupo Omnilife and Omnilife USA through a pattern of racketeering behavior including mail fraud, wire fraud, and extortion. According to the complaint, Vergara improperly convened a meeting of the shareholders of Grupo Omnilife while Fuentes was on vacation with her two young daughters during Holy Week. Fuentes alleges that Vergara falsely represented to those present at the meeting that he controlled 100% of Grupo Omnilife, and of all of its subsidiaries, including Omnilife USA and took unilateral and unauthorized action against Fuentes, including wrongfully ousting her as Chief Executive Officer of Grupo Omnilife and its subsidiaries.
The lawsuit also alleges that Vergara threatened Fuentes, during a meeting in Texas, to destroy her in the press and to organize public protests against her unless she gave him her shares in the company. Vergara and his lawyer have repeatedly gone on television shows and radio programs accusing Angelica of criminal mischief and wrongdoing. Vergara´s lawyer, Javier Coello Trejo, has also been named in the lawsuit.
Fuentes is represented by Jones Day, a global law firm with 42 offices in major centers of business and finance throughout the world.
New Shows Added! Directly From Cuba, GRAMMY® Award-Winning Band, Yoruba Andabo, To Perform In NYC, Washington, DC And Durham, For The Final U.S. Leg Of Its 30th Anniversary Tour!
BROOKLYN, New York, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Concert presenters Asase Yaa Cultural Arts Foundation (Asase Yaa) in New York and The Adinkra Group (TAG) in Washington, DC, in association with the Yoruba Cuban Association, officially announced today that the Cuban band, YORUBA ANDABO, will add several new shows to their current U.S. tour that coincides with their 30th anniversary. Heralded worldwide for performing sacred Afro-Cuban songs and dance rooted in West African traditions, Yoruba Andabo is confirmed to perform at the Hayti Heritage Center in Durham, NC on November 4; the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University in WDC on November 6; S.O.B.s in NYC on November 8; and Symphony Space in NYC on November 9. Though the group has performed in New York previously, most recently to a sold out show at Carnegie Hall in 2012, this will be their first time performing in Washington, DC and Durham. The group will also conduct master classes in Washington, DC on November 5 and on November 7 in Brooklyn, New York.
ABOUT YORUBA ANDABO
Yoruba Andabo is an Afro-Cuban band of 17 singers, percussionists, and dancers who are known for preserving sacred West African music that was bought to Cuba by enslaved Africans in the late 16th century. The ensemble takes its name from two African words loosely translated as “the friends and followers of the Yoruba lands and culture.” Yorubaland covers much of what is known as Nigeria and Benin today.
In addition to performing Yoruba-rooted music, Yoruba Andabo is widely acclaimed as one of the leading rumba groups on the world music scene today. They have performed globally to sold-out audiences of all backgrounds. They were featured musicians on the album La Rumba Soy Yo by El All Stars del la Rumba Cuban, which won a Latin GRAMMY® Award in 2001. The group began on the docks of the port of Havana in 1961.
