News ReleaseComcast Announces Live American Sign Language Interpreting Services at Eight Bay Area Xfinity Store Locations
Comcast California
As part of its ongoing commitment to digital inclusion and accessibility, Comcast today announced the availability of live American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services at eight Xfinity Store Locations in the Greater Bay Area. Customers who need ASL support can stop into any of the select Bay Area Xfinity Stores, where representatives will utilize ASL Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) to access a live interpreter provided by partner, Communication Service for the Deaf (CSD). The Retail Associate simply taps the app on the store iPad and is connected in moments via video to a live interpreter who can translate from ASL to English and vice versa as the customer and Associate converse. “We’re proud to deliver an inclusive service solution that will help more customers better interact and engage with Retail Associates representing our Xfinity Products and Services, to provide them with a much better in-store experience,” said Thomas Wlodkowski, Comcast Vice President for Accessibility. “I’m also grateful to our partners in California — who are helping to close the digital divide for more members of our disabled community by working with us on a variety of digital equity initiatives.” Comcast launched the ASL VRI service as a pilot in select stores last year; it is the first telecommunications retailer in the country to offer live, on-demand, remote ASL interpreting services in stores to better serve customers. The company is expanding the service to additional stores across the country this year. The eight Xfinity Greater Bay Area stores that offer ASL VRI service include: San Jose: 1068 E. Brokaw Rd. # 50, San Jose, CA 95131 Sunnyvale: 301 W. McKinley Ave. Suite 140, Sunnyvale, CA 94086 San Jose: 1566 Monterey Hwy #20, San Jose, CA 95110 San Jose: 1600 Saratoga Ave., San Jose, CA 95129 Palo Alto: 2825 El Camino Real #100, Palo Alto, CA 94306 Fremont: 43325 Christy St., Fremont, CA 94538 Oakland: 3070 E. 9 th St., Oakland, CA 94601 Dublin: 4104 Grafton St., Dublin, CA 94568 “As part of California School for the Deaf’s mission, we are deeply committed to providing a language rich environment that maximizes communication access in order for our students to lead fulfilling lives,” said Amy Novotny, Superintendent, California School for the Deaf. “Access to technology and connectivity builds confidence and independence, and that’s why we are excited to partner with Comcast on opportunities to close the digital divide for members of our Deaf and hard of hearing community.” The American Community Survey (ACS) estimates that 3.6% of the U.S. population is “deaf or have serious difficulty hearing.” Additionally, according to Pew Research Center, 23% of people with disabilities say they never go online, with 57% saying they do not have a home broadband connection. That’s why, through its Project UP initiative, Comcast is working to address and eliminate the unique barriers to connectivity through a series of efforts, including Internet Essentials, Lift Zones, and skill development and training. In addition to announcing this inclusive retail experience for customers, Comcast donated $60,000 in digital equity grants to community partners, San Francisco LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, California School for the Deaf, and the World Institute on Disability. These grants aim to broaden the scope of digital inclusion and accessibility to students, families, seniors, and community members. “Assistive technologies are opening doors to greater independence for folks with a range of disabilities,” said Sharon Giovinazzo Chief Executive Officer of the San Francisco LightHouse of the Blind and Visually Impaired. “These innovations truly can level the playing field. Comcast has been a valued partner in delivering technologies and supporting our efforts to promote independence, community, and equity for blind and low vision people.” “Diversity, equity and inclusion are the guiding stars of what we do here at the World Institute on Disability, and it is gratifying to see partners, such as Comcast, who also believe that equity and accessibility go hand-in-hand,” said Marcie Roth, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, World Institute on Disability. “Technology continues to evolve rapidly, and we must continue to work together to invest in solutions, which will help support people with disabilities having equal and greater access to products and services in today’s world as well as laying the foundation for greater accessibility for future generations.” About Comcast’s Accessibility Program: For more than a decade, Comcast has invested in making its products, technology, and experiences accessible to the widest possible audience while opening new doors to independence for people with disabilities. These innovations include the Large Button Voice Remote, voted USA Today’s Best Accessible Design remote in 2023, and the Xfinity Adaptive Web Remote.

News ReleaseBitcoin (BTC) Stability Boosted By Massive ETF Inflows, Rebel Satoshi is on a dream presale run
Blockchain Digest
In the constantly changing world of cryptocurrency, periods of stability are really sought after, especially for Bitcoin (BTC). Right now, Bitcoin is seeing a boost in investor trust, thanks to big investments in spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and favorable trading situations. At the same time, Rebel Satoshi Arcade (RECQ), a crypto project led by its community, is making great progress in its presale stage, catching the eye of both investors and fans. Massive ETF Inflows Boost Bitcoin Stability Bitcoin's recent stability can be credited to the huge influx of investments into spot BTC ETFs, signaling growing confidence among investors. According to Bitfinex researchers, Bitcoin has found solid support around the $60,000 level, thanks to consistently strong daily closures and significant withdrawals from crypto exchanges. Even with the massive outflows totaling $3.85 billion on May 15, Bitcoin's volatility remained low, and the cryptocurrency held its ground. What's particularly interesting is the spot Bitcoin ETF market in the US, which has seen net inflows for seven days in a row. This trend shows that investors are increasingly interested in BTC-related investment products, highlighting the growing appeal of Bitcoin as an asset class. Rebel Satoshi Arcade (RECQ) – Igniting The Wave Of Decentralization Picture this: in the bustling arena of cryptocurrency, Rebel Satoshi emerges as a beacon of hope, challenging the established presence of Bitcoin. It’s a rebellious project with the focus to transform the gaming and financial systems with complete decentralization. Do not think of Rebel Satoshi as another meme maniac, but a community-wide movement against the elites. With a unique dual-token system, featuring the Rebel Token (RBLZ) and the Requis Token (RECQ), it offers more than financial stakes – it stands for belonging and governance. If you hold this token, you are literally a decision maker in this project, while the other token serves a transactional purpose. The current presale has exceeded everyone's expectations with its remarkable success. Rebel Satoshi's innovative strategies and commitment to its community have generated immense interest and excitement. With ambitious goals outlined in its roadmap, such as reaching a $100 million market cap, Rebel Satoshi is poised for something substantial. And it's not mere speculation – comprehensive audits demonstrate the project's dedication to security and transparency, instilling confidence in potential investors. Rebel Satoshi isn't just about snagging investors; it's about making moves. Like, as this presale ramps up, it's drawing in investors who want to be a part of a bigger picture—a movement all about decentralization and making money stuff more fair for everyone. And, with each step it takes, Rebel Satoshi is cementing its spot as a big deal in the crypto scene. It's not just about throwing cash in; It's about having a shot at shaping a world where everybody gets a fair shake. Conclusion The combination of Bitcoin staying solid and all the hype around Rebel Satoshi’s presale is truly getting people excited about crypto. In this ever-changing world, projects like Rebel Satoshi offer a golden chance to be part of a community-driven push for a more inclusive financial future. Whether you’re a pro investor or just dipping your toes into crypto, now's the perfect time to check out Rebel Satoshi Arcade (RECQ) and dive into the vibe of innovation and empowerment.

News ReleaseExpert Predictions: 4 Cryptos Primed for Significant Upside
Blockchain Digest
ONDO, Rebel Satoshi ($RECQ ), Ethena (ENA), and Optimism (OP) are gaining traction as the four most lucrative crypto investments in the current market space. Let’s take a more detailed look at the facts and analyze how high these tokens could reach over the next crypto bull run! Experts Rank ONDO Among the Best Altcoins to Buy Now Analysts point out that the opening of the ONDO-PERP market on the Coinbase International Exchange enabled ONDO to reach a new record high of $1.32 on May 26. Furthermore, ONDO bulls are convinced that the token will manage to sustain its positive momentum and increase toward the $1.50 threshold in the following months. Experts single out ONDO’s significant surges in terms of its Total Value Locked (TVL) as another reason for this optimistic ONDO price prediction. Thus, ONDO is gaining traction as one of the best altcoins to buy before the next crypto bull run. On the other hand, some analysts expect pronounced drops in ONDO’s imminent market performance based on the token’s inability to provide valuable short-term returns. According to ONDO bears, holders can expect corrections toward the $0.80 mark by the end of the year. Traders Recognize $RECQ as a Formidable Force in the Crypto Meme Market Rebel Satoshi is a new meme coin project aiming to reshape the crypto landscape through its dedication to the decentralized revolution. On top of that, Rebel Satoshi users receive excellent rewards by contributing to the development of the platform’s vibrant two-token ecosystem. $RBLZ offers excellent real-world utility as Rebel Satoshi’s governance and membership token. Furthermore, the token raised over $2.5 million during the presale phase and is currently selling for $0.025 on the Uniswap DEX. Moreover, $RBLZ holders expect continued rallies in the forthcoming weeks, as the token’s current price marks a noteworthy 150% increase from the starting $0.010. Meanwhile, Rebel Satoshi’s second token, $RECQ, is at Stage 2 of the presale, available for only $0.0044. Thus, Stage 2 investors can expect 25% gains as early as the next presale stage and a remarkable 184% gain when $RECQ reaches its launch price of $0.0125. $RECQ serves as Rebel Satoshi ’s base currency for everyday transactions such as purchases, rewards, and fees. Furthermore, the powerful $RECQ token also provides access to Rebel Satoshi’s advanced buyback program and the numerous play-to-earn games in the fun-filled Rebel Satoshi Arcade. Make sure to chip in today, as $RECQ is set to continue its upward trend over the next crypto bull run! Ethena Emerges as One of the Top Altcoins to Buy in 2024 Ethena bulls suggest ENA as one of the top altcoins to buy now based on its excellent performance since its launch on April 2, 2024. While ENA recorded its all-time high of $1.51 on April 11, experts believe that Ethena could surpass the $1.70 price mark during the next crypto bull run. ENA traded at around $0.90 during the second half of May, meaning Ethena could increase by a remarkable 88.88%. Moreover, analysts point to Ethena’s various strategic partnerships as another important factor behind this bullish ENA price forecast. For example, Infinex announced its integration with Ethena Labs via an X post on May 28. However, Ethena bears warn that ENA’s failure to consolidate above the $1 threshold could announce the beginning of a lengthy downward trend. In the worst-case scenario, ENA could decrease by the year's close toward the $0.50 mark. Optimism Crypto Price Prediction: Could OP Surge To $3.60? Optimism enthusiasts believe that the next crypto bull run could help the OP token approach the $3.60 price level. OP traded around the $2.50 range during the final week of May, meaning OP investors could receive more than 44% gains. This bullish OP crypto price prediction is based on several factors, such as Optimism’s reputation as one of the leading L-2 scaling solutions. On the other hand, some experts have evaluated OP as a risky investment for the following term, as several Optimism whales have started to dump their OP holdings. Thus, Optimism bears claim that holders should expect corrections below the $2.20 range amid Optimism’s imminent price movements. Top market experts single out ONDO, ENA, OP, and $RECQ as the most rewarding options for the next crypto bull run, so don’t hesitate to join Rebel Satoshi’s mighty army of Recusants!

News ReleaseComcast Partners with Jaime Mendez News to Serve Hispanic Community in Seattle
Comcast Pacific Northwest
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 Comcast’s 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 Mendez’s 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 didn’t 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 one—Oliveros 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 Media’s 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.” Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company. From the connectivity and platforms we provide, to the content and experiences we create, our businesses reach hundreds of millions of customers, viewers, and guests worldwide. We deliver world-class broadband, wireless, and video through Xfinity, Comcast Business, and Sky; produce, distribute, and stream leading entertainment, sports, and news through brands including NBC, Telemundo, Universal, Peacock, and Sky; and bring incredible theme parks and attractions to life through Universal Destinations & Experiences.

News ReleaseUFC and Aires Tech Inc. Join Forces to Reach a Global Audience of 700 Million Fans
AAIRF, EDR, TKO
In a world increasingly reliant on technology, concerns about electromagnetic radiation (EMR) have led to a surge in demand for innovative solutions. American Aires Inc. (CSE: WIFI) (OTCQB: AAIRF) has been making significant strides in the tech industry with its cutting-edge approach to electromagnetic radiation (EMF) protection. The US market for EMF protection is estimated to be worth $5 billion, representing only a small portion of the even larger global opportunity. With the announcement of a multi-year global marketing partnership with UFC last week, now could be the time to take a look at AAIRF. The UFC Collaboration: AAIRF's visibility will increase significantly as a result of the partnership with UFC, the top mixed martial arts organization and a division of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:TKO), which Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: EDR) owns a majority stake in. With UFC’s reach extending to over 700 million fans in 170 countries and approximately 975 million households, this collaboration is poised to place Aires Tech in front of a massive global audience. The integration of Aires branding within UFC’s major events, including pay-per-view broadcasts and other media, will provide unparalleled reach. Grant Norris-Jones, Head of Global Partnerships at TKO, highlighted the synergy between the two brands: “Aires aligns well with our brand in several respects, including their focus on innovation and being a first mover in their industry.” Josh Bruni, CEO of Aires, emphasized the benefits of the partnership: “This collaboration not only amplifies our global reach but also connects us with UFC's dedicated audience, who value peak performance and personal well-being.” The partnership was activated at UFC 302: Makhachev vs. Poirier on June 1, 2024, marking a significant milestone in Aires' journey to become a global leader in EMF protection technology. The company hopes that this collaboration is expected to drive brand awareness and sales growth, solidifying Aires’ position as a leader in the market. Innovative Technology: The exclusive silicon-based resonator technology from Aires is intended to block dangerous electromagnetic radiation (EMR) released by consumer electronics. This innovation is embodied in their Lifetune products, which target EMR from cellphones, computers, baby monitors, Wi-Fi, and high-speed 5G networks. With over 20 years and $20 million invested in research and development, Aires has positioned itself as a pioneer in the field of EMR protection. The company's products appeal to a wide range of customers, including biohackers, athletes, individuals concerned with fertility, and those seeking better sleep. Aires operates a direct-to-consumer sales model with fulfillment centers in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the EU, and has recently established a new center in the UK to support its global expansion efforts. Financial Strength and Growth Trajectory: American Aires Inc. has demonstrated robust financial performance, with gross margins averaging around 60%. This is comparable to top technology companies like Nvidia and Apple, which boast gross margins of 75% and 45%, respectively. The company achieved positive EBITDA (adjusted) in its most recent quarter, underscoring its strong financial health. In fiscal year 2023, Aires reported a record annual order volume of $10.4 million, a 79% increase year-over-year. The company's direct-to-consumer business now ships products to over 60 countries, with significant growth observed in Australia and the EU. In Q1 2024, Aires reported a 37% year-over-year increase in sales, despite typical Q1 consumer spending weaknesses. The company's cash balance also saw a substantial improvement, increasing from $0.03 million in Q4 2023 to $2.3 million in Q1 2024, bolstered by successful financings in February and May 2024. CEO Josh Bruni stated, “Now that Q1 and our heavy lifting on the IR front are behind us, we're refocusing our efforts on deploying the capital we raised across three major fronts: forging prominent new marketing partnerships, building universal brand awareness, and expanding internationally. In other words, continuing to do what's enabled our multi-year trajectory of significant revenue growth so we can make 2024 our best year ever.” Disclaimers: RazorPitch Inc.
