Comcast Partners with Jaime Mendez News to Serve Hispanic Community in Seattle

–News Direct–

Comcast today announced a partnership with Se Habla Media to support and expand its Jaime Mendez News Spanish-language newscast to the more than 60,000 members of the Hispanic community in Seattle. The partnership includes a grant to support operations and technology along with a regular spot on Comcasts Xfinity TV Channel 79 to air its broadcasts.

When Sinclair Broadcasting group let go of its Univison affiliate at the end of 2023, the only local Spanish newscast on TV in our area also disappeared, said Diana Oliveros, co-founder of Se Habla Media. This sudden lack of a newscast posed yet another barrier to important information for many Hispanics. So, we decided to create our own local media outlet.

Se Habla Media was born out of Oliveros and Jaime Mendezs desire to fill the void left by the disappearance of Univision. The two decided that creating their own media outlet was the best and likely only solution to avoid the disappearance of local Spanish-language news. They also realized that they didnt have time to waste. In roughly three months they created Se Habla Media and launched on Jan. 1, 2024. It was a labor of love in more ways than oneOliveros and Mendez are married and live in the home that has also become their studio.

"Our collaboration with Jaime and Diana aligns seamlessly with Comcast's mission to support our communities, advance digital equity, and help small businesses succeed," said Rodrigo Lopez, Senior Vice President of Comcast Pacific Northwest Region. "By supporting Se Habla Media, a news outlet created by Latinos for Latinos, we are helping to keep our Spanish-language community informed about local events and raise awareness of important local issues."

Before the partnership with Comcast, Jaime Mendez News, the newscast produced by Se Habla Media, was limited to online broadcasts. Even without a lot of marketing or a TV cable channel, it was able to build a critical mass of more than 120,000 followers. Additionally, the outlet has reached more than a million viewers across Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. Most of the Se Habla Medias online audience lives in the Puget Sound area, but it also has followers in Central and Eastern Washington, California and Mexico. The addition of a TV cable channel and the support of Comcast will help expand its reach and audience.

There is a huge technological gap for some members of the Hispanic community, said Oliveros. It is often taken for granted that anyone has access to internet connection and social media, but the truth is that TV is still an important, and sometimes the only source of information for some people. These are the people that tend to be some of the most vulnerable.

Mendez was the news anchor for the now closed Seattle Univision broadcast. He has been a pioneer in Hispanic media for the last 25 years. Oliveros is a career diplomat specializing in community outreach and local economic development. During her six years in Seattle, she acted as Consul for Community Outreach at the Consulate of Mexico in Seattle, leading the efforts of collaborating with the Mexican migrant community in Washington and Alaska, to provide health, education and financial literacy programs. Her position created a deeper and better understanding of the needs and culture of the local and regional Spanish speaking community.

The financial support from Comcast will also aid in paying for freelance reporters to develop news stories. In the future, Mendez wants to provide more daily news and add a sports show with specialized segments.

We feel glad to see that other stakeholders, like Comcast, see the value of what we are doing and commit to strengthen projects like ours, said Mendez. The partnership with Comcast helps us bring reliable information to more people and gives us the exposure we need to raise awareness about the need in the Hispanic community.

Coin Captain Introduces Innovative Play-to-Earn Platform in the TON Ecosystem

Coin Captain (@CoinCaptainAnn) has released its eagerly-awaited game on the Telegram platform and has integrated a completely new ‘Spin to Airdrop’ mechanism for the TON community fans. Still, this relatively new addition to the play-to-earn genre already has more than 810,000 users and is rapidly closing in on the 1m+ mark within the blockchain games space.

The central mechanism of the Coin Captain app is the Lucky Wheel within which players use spin energy to receive gold coins and more spin energy. These gold coins serve a dual purpose: it also forms the basis of in-game money, currently defines who gets access to future token airdrops and brings an element of strategy into the game.

Key features of Coin Captain include:

  1. Lucky Wheel: Players spin to earn gold coins and spin energy.
  2. Treasure Boxes: Unlocked when the energy bar fills, offering rewards including cash prizes up to 500 USDT.
  3. Daily Tasks: Encourage regular engagement with rewards for actions like logging in and inviting friends.
  4. Automatic Energy Replenishment: The system provides spin energy every 10 minutes, ensuring continuous gameplay.
  5. Invite System: Players earn additional spin energy for each friend they bring to the game.

Coin Captain has formed strategic alliances within the crypto and gaming sectors to expand the game’s reach and offer additional value to players:

  1. Taptap_Pinky: A charitable initiative inspired by MrBeast, rewarding users for screen taps.
  2. Pumpad IDO: Offering potential access to $tBOL tokens for Coin Captain players.
  3. Sidekick: A Binance Labs-backed project focusing on social and gaming consolidation.
  4. Packet Gift: A social gifting platform that complements Coin Captain’s reward structure.

These collaborations aim to enhance the gaming experience and position Coin Captain at the intersection of gaming, social interaction, and charitable giving.

The development team has outlined a roadmap for the coming months:

  • Q1: Focus on basic game mechanics, daily rewards, and community building.
  • Q2: Introduction of the “Spin to Earn” feature and announcement of additional partnerships.
  • Q3: Implementation of an in-game wallet and the token airdrop (TGE).

Plans include more rewards for the Lucky Chest and time-limited events to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.

Since its launch, Coin Captain has seen growth in its community. The game’s official Telegram channel (@CoinCaptainAnn) and community group (@coincaptainofficial) have become active hubs, with players sharing strategies and discussing the game. The Twitter account (@coincaptain_ton) serves as a platform for announcements and community engagement.

The launching of Coin Captain brings them a new leap in combining blockchain technology with casual games. Using Telegram’s popularity, and the increased interest in the TON ecosystem, the Coin Captain wants to familiarize users with play-to-earn and blockchain gaming.

The case of the airdrops in the game and using the in-game performance as a qualifier would be a blueprint for the supply of tokens in the gaming industry. Unlike other models, this one promotes engagement, and practice, rather than guessing or speculation.

As Coin Captain ventures deeper into blockchain gaming, it takes a unique approach to how the ecosystem fosters interaction and incentives. Based on the landing page, the system’s interface, potential partnerships, and all the promises of actual earnings, Coin Captain is ready to provide solutions in the play-to-earn industry.

Players interested in joining Coin Captain can start by visiting the official Telegram bot: @CoincaptainGameBot.

About Coin Captain: 

Coin Captain is essentially a TELEGRAM-based P2E game that is centered in the TON blockchain. The idea of the Coin Captain is to combine the entertainment of “Spin to Airdrop” and partnerships with companies in the casual gaming business, based on its reliance on blockchain technologies.

Trivolve Tech and Quixy joins hands to Revolutionize Forensic Systems in India on Cardano

Published

October 22, 2024

By

Hyderabad, India, 22nd October 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, Trivolve Tech, a blockchain and AI product studio and Quixy, a leader in no-code/low-code enterprise solutions, , have officially partnered to co-develop cutting-edge forensic management systems for state governments across India. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the handling and integrity of forensic evidence by integrating Cardano blockchain technology and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) into evidence management systems.

The project will initially focus on the Uttar Pradesh state government, which handles over one million forensic cases annually. The key objective is to enhance the forensic chain of custody—a process crucial for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of forensic evidence presented in court.

Addressing the Challenges in Forensic Evidence Management

Forensic departments in India face significant challenges in maintaining the chain of custody for evidence. Current centralized systems are vulnerable to tampering and unauthorized access, posing risks to the credibility of evidence in legal cases. The joint venture between Quixy and Trivolve Tech addresses these challenges by developing a decentralized solution leveraging Cardano’s smart contracts and Zero Knowledge Proofs. This approach ensures that every step in the chain of custody is immutably recorded on the blockchain, providing an unprecedented level of transparency and security.

Integrating Cardano Blockchain for Enhanced Security and Scalability

Cardano, one of the most decentralized and sustainable blockchain platforms, will be integral to the forensic management system through its cryptographic hashing. Cardano operates on a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, which makes it 99.99% more energy-efficient than Bitcoin and Ethereum. This sustainability, coupled with security, positions Cardano as an eco-friendly option for large-scale projects like this one.

Rahul Konudula, CEO of Trivolve Tech, commented, “By integrating Cardano blockchain with forensic management, we are providing a game-changing solution that improves transparency, accountability, and security for law enforcement agencies. This collaboration could set the standard for forensic evidence management across India’s 28 states and 8 union territories.”

About Quixy

Quixy is a no-code/low-code platform that helps organizations automate business processes and build enterprise applications faster with fewer resources. With over 26,000 no-code apps and 200,000 users, Quixy is one of India’s leading software companies.

About Trivolve Tech

Trivolve Tech is a product development studio solving real-world problems through Blockchain and AI. They integrate blockchain into enterprises and government operations, driving innovation and sustainable growth while enhancing liquidity by tokenizing Real World Assets.
