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

Published

–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.

Press Release

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

Published

on

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.”

The importance of QuickBooks file repair: Damaged QuickBooks files can disrupt business operations, making it challenging to access financial data

Published

on

Brandon, MB, 22nd October 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, QuickBooks is an incredibly robust accounting tool, capable of handling a variety of financial tasks. However, like any software, it is susceptible to encountering issues, including file corruption. A damaged QuickBooks file can significantly disrupt business operations, making it challenging to access financial data, create reports, or process transactions. QuickBooks file repair is a powerful process designed to effectively address these issues and restore the integrity of your data.

Some common reasons include power failures or system crashes during QuickBooks usage can lead to file corruption. Another common reason is if the company file grows over time, it may become too large, causing performance issues or data corruption. Issues with hardware or bad sectors on the hard drive can lead to file damage.

Incompatible software or updates can occasionally interfere with QuickBooks, resulting in file corruption. 

QuickBooks provides a built-in tool called QuickBooks File Doctor, designed to identify and repair common issues related to file corruption. This tool can be downloaded and run to fix network and data file issues, offering a simple and effective solution in many cases.

If the file is too corrupted to repair, restoring from a recent backup can save your data. Regular backups are essential as they provide a safeguard in case of severe damage. 

QuickBooks includes a “Rebuild Data” feature that can resolve minor data corruption issues. This tool automatically scans the company file for inconsistencies and fixes them, ensuring the file is in good shape.

In cases of severe file damage or when internal tools fail to resolve the issue, consulting a professional QuickBooks repair service may be necessary. These services specialize in repairing damaged files and recovering lost data, ensuring minimal disruption to your business.

QuickBooks file repair is crucial when your data is compromised. By using built-in tools like QuickBooks File Doctor, restoring backups, or seeking professional help, you can effectively recover from file corruption and ensure business continuity.

Optimizing your QuickBooks file is crucial for ensuring your accounting software runs efficiently, protecting data integrity, and facilitating smoother operations

Published

on

Kingston, 22nd October 2024, ZEX PR WIRE, As businesses grow, so do their financial records, often leading to larger QuickBooks company files. While QuickBooks is designed to handle substantial data, file optimization is crucial for maintaining efficiency and performance. 

 Large company files can slow down QuickBooks, leading to lagging responses when entering data, generating reports, or running payroll. Optimization helps reduce file size and improve system speed, allowing for smoother operations.

Over time, as files grow and become fragmented, the risk of data corruption increases. Regular optimization can help maintain file integrity, reducing the likelihood of encountering issues that can lead to data loss.

 A smaller, optimized file takes less time to back up and restore, which is critical during system updates or when recovering from a crash. This can save valuable time and resources, especially during busy financial periods.

File optimization makes it easier to manage and navigate your financial records. By condensing and organizing data, users can quickly access the information they need without wading through excessive amounts of data.

Optimized files allow for quicker and more accurate financial reporting, ensuring that your business remains compliant with tax regulations and internal policies. This efficiency is vital for audits and decision-making processes.

Use QuickBooks’ built-in “Condense Data” feature to remove historical transactions and reduce file size while retaining necessary data. Schedule regular maintenance checks to identify and repair data integrity issues. Utilizing tools like QuickBooks File Doctor can help identify potential problems early. Regularly review and archive old transactions that are no longer needed for day-to-day operations, which can significantly reduce file size. Keep an eye on your company file size and set thresholds for when optimization is needed to prevent performance degradation.

Optimizing your QuickBooks file is crucial for ensuring your accounting software runs efficiently, protecting data integrity, and facilitating smoother operations. Regularly implementing optimization strategies can lead to significant benefits, allowing your business to focus on growth and success.
