The KSO Gets the Band Back Together for an Old-Fashioned Concert in the Park

FORT THOMAS, Ky., July 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra continues its 26th summer series in Tower Park with «The Band Played On,» a nostalgic band concert that was popular in town squares over a century ago.

FORT THOMAS, Ky., July 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra continues its 26th summer series in Tower Park with «The Band Played On,» a nostalgic band concert that was popular in town squares over a century ago. The KSO and the City of Fort Thomas are continuing to closely follow the Kentucky «Healthy at Work» requirements to advise both performers and attendees of ways to safely gather and perform outdoors. Open dress rehearsals for seniors (10:00 a.m.) and Facebook Live streams of the concerts allow those at risk to participate, whereas distancing, masking, hand sanitizing stations will be promoted for those attending from the stage, with signage, musical cues and video reminders.

At the turn of the last century each town, school, corporation and even local business had its own concert band to play dedications, ceremonies, holidays and weekly summer concerts. That bygone era, produced opportunities for many citizens to learn music and participate in a shared cultural activity. These amateur and school bands were inspired by the professional touring groups of John Phillip Sousa, Edwin Goldman and others. If you or a loved one was ever in the school band, this is a show for you.

The KSO gives the strings the night off as its winds, brass and percussion assemble to perform concert band warhorses and novelty numbers composed between 1905 and 1968. Many of these selections represent some of the most celebrated works and transcriptions in the band repertoire. U.S. school band programs flourished beginning in the early 1900s and with the founding of the Music Educators National Convention (MENC). Area band directors, students and their families from Kentucky and Ohio are invited to this free concert.

«Every musician on stage tonight came through their Jr. High and High School band programs. I often refer to school music teachers as the most important component of the (classical) music industry. Without the opportunities and challenges that they provide their students, these musicians would never hold positions with regional and major orchestras across the globe.» — KSO Music Director (and former band director), James Cassidy.

Melvin Ribble’s circus march «Bennet’s Triumphal» opens the concert, followed by Robert Jager’s spritely set of variations on the childhood tune «The Happy Farmer» by Robert Schumann. Percy Grainger’s Lincolnshire Posy is a set of six British folksongs that Grainger notated, as he listened to folksingers during his walks through the Lincolnshire, England countryside. Former trumpeter of the «The President’s Own» Marine Corps Band, Michael Mergen, has been appointed trumpet professor at CCM. Michael will be featured on the Neopolitan tune «Napoli.» by Herman Bellestedt (Hunsberger). The first half concludes with a rollicking transcription of Paul Hindemith’s «March» from Symphonic Metamorphosis.

After intermission the KSO concert band returns with lighter works including the Spanish flavored Fandango of Frank Perkins, the barnburner Festive Overture by Shostakovich (Hunsberger) and Don Gillis’ Tulsa (A Symphonic Painting in Oil) offering a musical hootenanny. The program closes with a John Krance’s lush arrangement of the Jacob Gade tango tune «Jalousie.» As with most KSO Summer programs you can expect a unique encore.

Join the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra Saturday at 7:30 p.m. — August 8 at Tower Park in Fort Thomas. Food trucks will be on-site. Bring masks, blankets, picnics or lawn chairs. For more information, registration and directions, visit kyso.org or call (859) 431-6216. $5 (per person) suggested donation. Free parking in Tower Park (though it is limited). Dress rehearsal for seniors is Saturday at 10:00 a.m. The concert will be streamed on Facebook Live at 7:30 p.m.

For 28 years the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra has taken the «phony» out of symphony by eliminating traditional barriers and presenting engaging, live, thematic concerts that enrich, educate and entertain the residents of Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati. The KSO performs three series of concerts annually throughout Northern Kentucky.

Bugs Bunny Stamps Now Available Nationwide

WASHINGTON, July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The U.S. Postal Service issued the Bugs Bunny commemorative Forever stamps today, the character’s 80th birthday. The Bugs Bunny stamps were dedicated in a virtual ceremony and are now being sold at Post Office locations nationwide and online at

WASHINGTON, July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The U.S. Postal Service issued the Bugs Bunny commemorative Forever stamps today, the character’s 80th birthday. The Bugs Bunny stamps were dedicated in a virtual ceremony and are now being sold at Post Office locations nationwide and online at usps.com/bugsbunny80.

«It’s a special privilege to celebrate the 80th anniversary of one of the most popular and iconic characters in history,» said dedicating official Kristin Seaver, chief information officer and executive vice president, U.S. Postal Service. «Bugs is both timeless and timely, a quick-change artist who can get out of a jam, win any battle, through his wits and clever disguises. He simply summons up whatever talent, costume or personality is needed to escape every perilous situation.»

Seaver was joined for the ceremony by Pete Browngardt, executive producer of «Looney Tunes Cartoons,» and Alex Kirwan, supervising producer of «Looney Tunes Cartoons.» The virtual stamp event can be viewed on the Postal Service’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

The stamp artwork was developed in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, featuring work from Warner Bros. Animation artists. The stamps show iconic moments of Bugs Bunny’s career. The Warner Bros. Animation artists also created the sketches on the back of the stamp pane. Greg Breeding was the designer, and William J. Gicker served as art director for the Postal Service.

The Bugs Bunny pane of 20 stamps will be issued as Forever stamps, meaning they will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1–ounce price. News of the stamps is being shared on social media using the hashtags #BugsBunnyStamps and #BugsBunny80.

Background

Since his debut in the short-subject cartoon «A Wild Hare» in 1940, generations of audiences have cheered Bugs’ gleeful gusto, quick wit and endless clever resourcefulness. To outwit the opposition, he can conjure dynamite, cherry pies and mallets out of thin air; dance like a seasoned hoofer; play piano; and conduct orchestras. He summons up any talent — and any costume — that will help him thwart his relentless foes.

Born of a team of young animators who produced Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons for Warner Bros., Bugs’ name came from one of those early cartoonists; «Bugs» and «Bugsy» were trendy nicknames at the time, signifying a crazed or wacky disposition. The catchy alliterative sound of «Bugs Bunny» partnered well with the names of cohorts Porky Pig and Daffy Duck.

Bugs’ very first line, «What’s up, Doc?» — unusual slang blurted out with the accent and wise-guy attitude of a street-smart New Yorker — had audiences howling and became the instant catchphrase of the «wascally wabbit,» as he was called by his first foe, the hapless hunter Elmer Fudd.

With global star power, Bugs Bunny has graced screens of all sizes, from television and movies to phones and tablets. Eighty 11-minute episodes of the new «Looney Tunes Cartoons» reintroduce Bugs Bunny along with other marquee Looney Tunes characters in gag-driven shorts that include classic storylines adapted for present-day audiences. The Oscar-winning rabbit has also been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

NCOA Secures $4.35 Million from Walmart Foundation

ARLINGTON, Va., July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Over the next two years, the National Council on Aging will connect 1.15 million eligible older adults to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), thanks to a $4.35 million grant from the Walmart…

ARLINGTON, Va., July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Over the next two years, the National Council on Aging will connect 1.15 million eligible older adults to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), thanks to a $4.35 million grant from the Walmart Foundation.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, over 9.8 million older adults experienced food insecurity, meaning they lack consistent access to adequate, nutritious food. Today, those numbers are quickly rising. SNAP is the nation’s most effective and widest-reaching anti-hunger program. Research by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities shows that participation in SNAP reduces food insecurity overall by 30%, yet the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that only 48% of eligible older adults aged 60+ participate in the program.

During the coronavirus pandemic, older adults have been turning to NCOA for resources related to SNAP, food, and nutrition as they struggle to access and pay for food while being homebound. In the first week of the pandemic, more than 30,000 individuals downloaded a SNAP application on NCOA’s BenefitsCheckUp®, a free and confidential screening tool that connects eligible older adults to benefits.

«We’ve heard from older adults and our local partners that accessing and paying for food is a critical need right now,» said Josh Hodges, NCOA Chief Customer Officer. «Food, on average, is the second highest household expenditure for people aged 60+, and too often they have to stretch their food budget in order to make ends meet. That’s where SNAP can help.»

«Now more than ever, older adults need support accessing the resources that help them put nutritious food on the table,» said Eileen Hyde, director of sustainable food systems and food access for Walmart.org. «This new grant builds upon the innovative work on benefits access that NCOA has championed for several years.»

Over the past 7 years, with support from the Walmart Foundation, NCOA has helped 3.6 million older adults access their SNAP applications, resulting in 1.14 million enrollments.

The new grant will support both in-person and online SNAP outreach and enrollment. NCOA will fund 40 community-based organizations that provide trusted, in-person benefits counseling in communities across the country. The grant also will be used to find and connect eligible older adults to their SNAP applications using the virtual tool BenefitsCheckUp, which is accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Funding will target vulnerable and difficult-to-reach populations, including African Americans, Hispanic/Latinx, women, and rural Americans, many of whom have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Older adults can find out right now if they’re eligible for SNAP by visiting www.BenefitsCheckUp.org/SNAP.

About NCOA
The National Council on Aging (NCOA) is a trusted national leader working to ensure that every person can age well. Since 1950, our mission has not changed: Improve the lives of millions of older adults, especially those who are struggling. NCOA empowers people with the best solutions to improve their own health and economic security—and we strengthen government programs that we all depend on as we age. Every year, millions of people use our signature programs BenefitsCheckUp®, My Medicare Matters®, and the Aging Mastery Program® to age well. By offering online tools and collaborating with a nationwide network of partners, NCOA is working to improve the lives of 40 million older adults by 2030.

Yasnel Pompa Torriente’s new book El Guía Perfecto, a galvanizing story that shares the harrowing and unfair true life of the author’s brethren

HOMESTEAD, Florida, July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book El Guía Perfecto was created by Yasnel Pompa Torriente, an author who was born in Jagüey Grande, Matanzas, Cuba.

HOMESTEAD, Florida, July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book El Guía Perfecto was created by Yasnel Pompa Torriente, an author who was born in Jagüey Grande, Matanzas, Cuba. He was a high school chemistry teacher with a higher middle technician education specializing in industrial chemistry from the University of Matanzas Camilo Cienfuegos.

Yasnel Pompa Torriente said this about his book: «El Guía Perfecto is a book based on a true story. This tells a fact that occurred in a very small town. From the time of my grandparents to the present, only one person has lost a person in a brawl, although there have been many. This made it transcendental for the villagers. It highlights the poor work of MININT and the bias with which the municipal prosecutor worked without interest to many of them, not even for a moment, that if they achieved their plans, they would destroy the lives of other beings who were absolutely innocent according to all the tests. They did their best to blame them for instructional tricks. It accounts for the terrible conditions that some police facilities have—at least that of their municipality. As the author clings to God unconditionally and becomes a Christian, he took the problems of many of his classmates to heart and decided to tell them. He overcame and took advantage of those adverse living conditions. He saw, at times, that his life was like a drifting tree, but someone always approached him and offered his hand. It narrates facts where it is clearly shown that prisoners are also human beings with good feelings. He calls for reflection so that citizens who are deprived of liberty are better treated. It raises, in some way, how to stimulate and take advantage of inmates in prisons, offering them fair treatment.»

Published by Page Publishing, Yasnel Pompa Torriente’s new book El Guía Perfecto is a cry for justice, as it delves into the deplorable condition of the author’s fellow citizens due to poor institutional management.

Consumers who wish to ascertain the genuine meaning of being human in times of frailty and dissent can purchase El Guía Perfecto in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

For the song, Cinta had co-written the track alongside Moa Carlebecker Forsell and Olof Lindskog, who both previously worked with K-pop superstars, Red Velvet and BTS. The stunning dance video was directed by prominent international choreographer Sandree Hee.

«This song was created to motivate people around the world to find happiness within themselves. When we learn to accept and feel confident about ourselves, we will go a long way,» said Cinta.

«Cloud 9» reflects Cinta’s enthusiasm for Latin America and Caribbean music, similar with her previous works «Caliente» and «Vida». Unlike a usual music video production, the «Cloud 9» project showcases a unique and dynamic dance choreography throughout the video, incorporating a lot of energy and hip movements. It is a dance video that is designed to go together with the earlier social media campaign, as well as attract new fans to join the #Cloud9Challenge and expanding work to a global stage.

«We are optimistic that ‘Cloud 9’ will bring a sense of freshness to its viewers as well as dance lovers around the world. Combining the successful social media campaign with its catchy tunes and dynamic moves, our aim is to trigger curiosity to find out who the artist behind the work is. Ultimately, we invite viewers around the world to celebrate life with this work,» said Muhammad Soufan, General Manager SMEI.

MIAMI, July 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc.

MIAMI, July 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. («SBS» or the «Company») (OTCQB:SBSAA)  announced today that the Company intends to voluntarily deregister from the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the «Exchange Act»).

For the Company, as it is and has been for all companies, the global pandemic has provided need, reason and basis for the Company to reduce expenses and operate with utmost efficiency. With that continuing goal and objective,  the decision of the Company to deregister the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the «Common Stock») was driven by elimination of the significant costs and administrative burdens of preparing and filing current and periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the «SEC»), the demands placed on management and the Company to comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and the low number of holders of the Common Stock of the Company. The Company believes the expected savings of more than $1.5 million per year outweigh the advantages of continuing to be an SEC reporting company. 

The Company intends to promptly file a Form 15 Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act with the SEC in connection with its intention to deregister its Common Stock and suspend its obligations to file reports with the SEC. The Company is eligible to file Form 15 because the Company’s Common Stock is held by less than 300 holders of record.

Information about the Company may continue to be obtained by accessing the Company’s website at www.spanishbroadcasting.com. Consistent with its past practice, undertakings and obligations, the Company will continue to provide reporting and financial information to holders of the Company’s 12.5% Senior Secured Notes and to holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.
