Dogwifhat Hype Cools Down: Holders Jump Ship To Floki And Viral AI Meme Coin Raboo!

Total Media

Following the surge of meme coins into the digital space, crypto holders have now seen an opportunity to make an investment and get great returns. Because the value of these coins is rising quickly, it is hard not to see a crypto enthusiast who has yet to invest in at least one. These coins are an excellent market opportunity and many of them have proven to be of great value to investors who hold them. Two exciting meme coins held by many investors today include Dogwifhat and Floki. These coins, just like many other meme coins, have been invested in before their launch date and have turned out to be valuable. But with a new meme coin, Raboo, coming into the market space, you could even get a much greater return. The returns are so promising that the value of the coin can rise 233% in its presale token on launch day. Watch out for Raboo! Dogwifhat Holders Are Looking For Alternatives Dogwifhat is a popular meme coin held by many investors and there has been an uptrend in its value judging from when it started. However, the trend in the value of Dogwifhat recently hasn't favored those who hold this coin, especially recent buyers. The value of a Dogwifhat is $3.43 and in the last 24 hours, there has been a 2.3% drop in value. The recent bearish movement of the coin has made the coin holders fear that they might lose a lot and has caused them to look for better options that will give them a better return on their investment. Floki Rises 30% in Value Following the latest uptrend, Floki has hit the highest value it has ever been since its launch. This rise has exposed the Floki to the general public and has made it one of the best coins to buy now in 2024. The value rise of Floki has caused crypto enthusiasts to invest their money into it. However in the last 24 hours, there has been a 4.6% drop in value and the coin now trades at $0.00031 per token. Recent buyers hope the recent drop in value is just a glitch and expect that the uptrend will continue. They also won't pass on the opportunity to invest in other meme coins that show a promising future. Raboo Storms The Market Raboo is a top digital coin built by the best developers. It is a new AI meme coin expected to burst into the crypto market soon. Experts say Raboo is one of the best coins to buy now especially if you are a newbie in the crypto world or a veteran hoping to make the most of meme coins. The exciting thing about Raboo is that you don't have to wait till its launch day before you make returns. Raboo holders can grab exciting $RABT tokens and win exclusive rewards when it is launched into the market. Raboo has been looked into by many analysts and they have given nothing but positive reviews. They predict that Raboo will overtake many meme coins including Dogwifhat and Floki before the end of 2024 and in years to come, it will be one of the leading coins in the market. At the moment, Raboo’s presale token goes for $0.0048 and it's in the fourth Stage of presale. There are already over 8,000 registered users and you can be a part of this great community. Be a part of this community and earn while you interact. Conclusion Investors of Dogwifhat and Floki now see Raboo as a better option to invest in. Aside from earning, Raboo comes with extra benefits that you shouldn't miss out on.

Ripple Selling 400m XRP, Price Dump Incoming? JASMY Fluctuates As Investors Shift To New Viral Contender

Total Media

The longstanding Ripple (XRP) lawsuit is affecting XRP's trading price, and its investors are getting agitated. Apparently, Ripple could be facing a long year in the crypto market with all the token dumps this year. The other option is not so great either, as JasmyCoin's recent pumps and dips have left the long-term users in doubt. Here's a bit on the upcoming meme giant. Ripple is facing even grimmer times ahead in the crypto market If you thought XRP was in bearish waters, the next few weeks are about to get rougher. And it has a lot to do with the ongoing legal battles with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Already, Ripple's place among the top altcoins is threatened. About two weeks ago, some whale accounts dumped their tokens on BitStamp and Bitso, amounting to about $50 Million worth of XRP. While many thought that it might just be Ripple unlocking more tokens, there's been a more recent three-billion-dollar offload from the Escrow account to Ripple's wallet. The huge Ripple price movements have been suspect among Ripple whales, and there could be sell pressure on the XRP token following such activities. So far, Ripple hasn't offered any explanation for the huge movements, and XRP is still on a 0.33% loss after a largely unremarkable month. JasmyCoin (JASMY) might not be the alternative investors expect JasmyCoin hit the crypto news with its pump two weeks ago, which has helped JASMY to 99% monthly gains. May was a great month for JASMY, but the token fell due to token dumping early in June. DWF Labs deposited about 97 million JASMY tokens ($3.3 million) on Binance over the past three days, resulting in a dip in JasmyCoin's timeframes at every deposit. The cascade didn't end there, as many more JasmyCoin traders have also decided to cash in on the token. The profit-taking has eaten into the JASMY price pump throughout May, and the token is now down to 2.24% on the daily chart. The effects of large token holders could affect traders, and many investors are already off to the next big thing in the crypto market. Thankfully, it's not too far away; Raboo's presale is here! Raboo is a more consistent bullish option for summer traders Raboo opened the summer with $0.003 on its presale, and everyone expects a spike of 233% from the event. The $RABT token has pumped to 60% profits, as each token now goes for $0.0048. The meme project will leverage AI to create memes fit for entertainment. Unlike its meme counterparts, Raboo plans to keep the meme stream fresh every day. With even funnier memes, $RABT is set to become the next best thing in the crypto-verse. The traffic that will hit the platform could bring a pump to outpace Dogecoin's surge in 2021. However, profits are not all Raboo has its sights on. The members of the $RABT community are the first beneficiaries of the ecosystem. They have a chance to monetize their social media posts through Raboo, as the generative AI is on hand to convert all that content into profits. Conclusion The fun part about Raboo is that you can start earning even more $RABT tokens as soon as you get some of yours from the presale. The project is in Stage 4 of presales and going for $0.0048. Stage 1 investors are already pocketed 60% ROI, and Raboo could turn in 100x gains once it lists. With its AI use cases, your Raboo investments are set for life.

Loneliness Crisis Being Faced by Older Americans: AmeriCorps Seniors Believes Volunteering Fosters Connections and Conquers Loneliness

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/dcH7-VsQaYQ Older adults are especially vulnerable to loneliness and social isolation, which can have a serious effect on health, according to a recent report issued by the U.S. Surgeon General. Chronic loneliness (persistent feelings of isolation and/or a lack of companionship) can adversely affect mental, cognitive, and physical health, general well-being and even longevity. However, there are ways to overcome loneliness and volunteering might be the answer. AmeriCorps Seniors is helping older adults form connections in their community, provide purpose and improve their lives through volunteering. After two years of volunteering with AmeriCorps Seniors, 78% of those who reported more than five symptoms of depression at the beginning of the study said that they felt less depressed two years later. Of those who first described a lack of companionship, 88% said they felt less isolated after two years. AmeriCorps is the federal agency for national service and volunteerism. AmeriCorps Seniors focuses on engaging adults ages 55 and up in service in their local communities. Through three signature programs, RSVP, the Foster Grandparent Program and the Senior Companion Program, AmeriCorps Seniors provides a space for older adults to take charge of this moment in life and use their time in impactful ways. Each year, AmeriCorps Seniors matches more than 140,000 Americans with service opportunities. For example, Shelley Brosnan, a volunteer with AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP through Volunteer Fairfax, Fairfax, Va., said, “Giving back is so very important. I’ve been volunteering for most of my adult life. Volunteering allows me to connect with my community and make it a better place. I also love the social aspects and meeting people who share my interests. We have a chance to help others and form new relationships, which has grown my social circle.” RSVP offers flexible scheduling and a diverse mix of opportunities. The Foster Grandparent Program pairs volunteers with children and youth in mentoring and tutoring relationships. Lastly, the Senior Companion Program provides a helping hand to other older adults and those with disabilities. They also support caregivers through respite services.

Comcast 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.

Gaucho Holdings New Business Segment Expands Their Value Proposition Within The Fintech And Real Estate Sector

Benzinga

By Kyle Anthony, Benzinga Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: VINO), a company that includes a growing collection of e-commerce platforms with a focus on fine wines, luxury real estate and leather goods and accessories, recently announced the launch of their new business segment, Gaucho Open Asset Lending (GOAL), a new mortgage lending division. GOAL is intended to serve as the company’s self-financing option for buyers of its unique luxury vineyard real estate project, Algodon Wine Estates, and potentially beyond. Gaucho Holdings: Expanding The Value Proposition Within Argentina’s Real Estate And Mortgage Lending Sectors GOAL is a strategic move by Gaucho Holdings to diversify the company’s revenue stream and is expected to be a significant growth segment in the future. The company offers prospective buyers self-financed mortgages, a move that could potentially generate substantial interest income. These options include 10-, 15- and 20-year mortgage terms, providing greater accessibility to over 400 vineyard estate lots on the Algodon Wine Estates, which Gaucho Holdings owns outrightly. The company estimates that the potential revenue from the sale of these vineyard lots could be approximately $80 - 100 million, excluding any future appreciation. Even after the sale of all projected lots, Gaucho Holdings will retain over 2,500 acres for its operations and further development. The company also has ambitions for GOAL beyond its current business use case and envisions it being a direct-to-consumer lender, providing innovative mortgage and lending solutions to Argentinians unable to access traditional financing options that have been largely unavailable to the public. Gaucho Holding: Record Growth In The Argentine Wine Market Gaucho Holdings continues to see success in its current business operations. Recently, they announced that wine sales in Argentina for the year to date in 2024 have increased by 217% compared to the same period last year, attributable to the expansion of the company's distribution networks throughout Argentina and other strategic initiatives. Critical enhancements reported by Gaucho include improvements to operational infrastructure and distribution channels, the assiduous actions of its in-house wine sales management team, and contributions from the company's Argentina e-commerce website and other distributors. Gaucho Holdings' success is not indicative of the overall Argentina wine industry. As the International Organization of Vine and Wine reported, Argentinian wine production fell to a historical low in 2023, primarily due to spring frosts and hailstorms. Beyond the climate, the changing economic landscape has made it difficult for some winemakers to export their goods profitably. A Changing Argentine Economy The Argentinian economy is in the midst of change. President Javier Milei continues to push austerity and deregulation measures in an effort to revive the country’s struggling economy. As reported by the Associated Press, Argentina’s inflation rating has been decreasing, though it is still amongst the highest globally. From a currency standpoint, Milei has maintained his message about replacing the Argentinian peso with the U.S. dollar, which has sent the peso downward. Though the newly elected government's economic cutbacks have been extensive, they have been welcomed by the nation’s creditors and many market players. So much so that the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Argentina’s biggest creditor, recently released the latest tranche of loans due under a bailout program. The IMF deal follows the completion of its review of Argentina’s compliance record and confirms the next $792 million payment will become available to the government in June 2024. Gaucho Holdings' success and new endeavor come at an inflection point in Argentina’s economic journey. As the nation’s economic prospects improve, the company foresees the economy stabilizing and is proactively positioning itself to provide an emergent need – financing – for individuals and entities entering the real estate sector.

Culturelle® Probiotics and Re:wild Team Up to ‘Protect the Gut Microbiome’

YourUpdateTV

A new campaign from Culturelle® Probiotics and global conservation non-profit, Re:wild, is highlighting the similarities between endangered ecosystems on Earth and the endangered ecosystem within: the human gut microbiome. Recently, Dr. Robin Moore from Re:wild, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the new initiative. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/JT_Nv2wpwrU Earth’s ecosystems are what sustain us. They are our first line of defense against emerging diseases and climate chaos, and they provide everything from clean air and water to food and medicines. But research shows that the populations of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish have declined by nearly 70% since 1970. And a loss of biodiversity can significantly disrupt an ecosystem – lowering its productivity and quality. The gut microbiome – made up of trillions of living, breathing bacterial species – is also facing a loss of biodiversity and is under constant siege from a variety of modern-day stressors, like anxiety, lack of sleep, and poor eating habits, that can put it out of balance and hinder its ability to thrive. This led the Culturelle brand to make a poignant connection between the vulnerable state of our gut microbiome and the other ecosystems of the world. The gut is a critical ecosystem — and it's at risk. Culturelle Probiotics and Re:wild have teamed up to draw attention to the similarities between the endangered ecosystems of our world and the ecosystem within – the human gut microbiome – and raise awareness on the importance of protecting biodiversity in all ecosystems, both inside and out. To learn more about the campaign, visit ProtectTheGut.com. About Dr. Robin Moore Dr. Robin Moore blends his scientific training with his passion for photography and storytelling to connect a broad audience with the urgency and opportunity for saving endangered species and critical ecosystems. Recognizing the importance of communications for challenging perceptions and changing behaviors, Robin has spearheaded innovative campaigns to raise the profile of too-often overlooked species. The Search for Lost Frogs, a global quest to find species missing for decades, attracted significant media attention and inspired the book, In Search of Lost Frogs, which was named one of The Guardian’s best nature books of 2014. Robin is an award-winning photographer and Senior Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers. The Search for Lost Species, a signature initiative of Re:wild, builds on this success. About Culturelle® Probiotics For more than 25 years, Culturelle® Probiotics have helped individuals, children and families support their health. Covering digestive, immune, feminine, and pediatric health, Culturelle® product formulations are based on science, utilizing clinically studied probiotics to support the unique benefits of each product.
