Lifesaving Communication: A Free Vital Roundtable on Emergency Response Language Services

American Translators Association

Español | Français | Tiếng Việt In critical moments when lives are on the line, clear and immediate communication can mean the difference between chaos and resolution. The American Translators Association (ATA) invites professionals across emergency response, crisis management, law enforcement, the media, health care, education, and the language services industry to a groundbreaking event: Best Practices in Emergency Response Language Services. This event is already drawing nationwide attention. Considering the recent onslaught of global crises such as floods, wildfires, epidemics, terrorism, mass shootings, airline crashes, and beyond, the majority of us at home, work, or play may need to respond to an unexpected crisis at any time. Three Essential Perspectives, One Transformative Discussion This 90-minute, high-impact event approaches emergency response language services from three unique but interconnected vantage points: Providers of emergency language and communications services – the trained professionals delivering real-time interpreting, translation, and general communication assistance during high-stakes situations. Recipients of these services – individuals and communities relying on linguists to navigate crisis and emergency situations. Essential players bridging the gap – first responders, law enforcement, dispatchers, teachers, and even astronauts who depend on linguists and other professional communicators for seamless, lifesaving connection. Meet the Experts Shaping the Future of Emergency Language Access Our distinguished panel brings together professionals who have stood on the front lines of crisis communication: Rhode Thomas, a seasoned interpreter and cultural mediator who interpreted on the ground during Hurricane Helene as well as for the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement after a school shooting, will share firsthand insights on bridging language barriers in emergency medical, legal, and social service settings. Aaron Kubey, a FEMA employee and certified Deaf Interpreter, will discuss how accessibility measures are transforming disaster response, including real-world applications of ASL in crisis situations. Sergeant Clarence E. Stokes III, a 32-year veteran of the Pennsylvania Capitol Police and active shooter instructor, will explore crisis response tactics and how language professionals can assist in high-risk law enforcement encounters. Anh Pham, an interpreter for President Obama during his 2016 Vietnam visit, will discuss the intense preparation and political stakes involved in high-profile, international language services. Marjorie "Ocho" Kouns, a multilingual enhanced 911 (e911) Dispatcher in Atlanta, will reveal the challenges behind emergency calls and the urgency of accurate communication in 911 dispatch. Chantal Kamgne, an expert in localization and community language equity, will discuss the impact of cultural awareness in emergency translations and crisis communication. Liliana Trujillo, a bilingual medical professional, will speak to the critical need for linguistically and culturally sensitive communication in patient care and emergency health scenarios. Moderated by Bridget Hylak, CT, CI, MTC, a globally recognized language industry expert and communications strategist. Key Discussion Points: What are the fundamental factors that ensure effective language access in emergency response services? How can first responders, law enforcement, educators, health care providers, and the media collaborate with linguists and other professional communicators to improve accuracy and efficiency in crisis communication? What role does cultural sensitivity play in building trust and ensuring compliance with diverse communities? How do professional interpreters and translators handle high-pressure situations —such as natural disasters, active shooter incidents, or international crises—while maintaining composure and clarity? When is technology a help or a hindrance in emergency translation and interpreting? A Rare Opportunity to Learn, Prepare, and Connect Panelists will not focus solely on AI or language technology, though emerging tools will be addressed. Instead, this roundtable will tap into the depth of each participant’s experience, highlighting the techniques, connection, demeanor, preparation, composure, and human expertise it takes to handle these life-or-death situations well, regardless of the methods used. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on: Best practices for emergency language services in law enforcement, medical, educational, and corporate disaster response - and beyond. Practical strategies for handling high-pressure, high-stakes encounters with confidence. Regulatory and ethical considerations in high-stakes response scenarios. This nationally relevant event is a must-attend for anyone involved in emergency response, crisis communication, and language services.

TRUMP Investors Now Collecting Ethereum (ETH)-Based Tokens as Elluminex ($ELX) on TON Presale Gains Momentum

Elluminex

Donald Trump introduced his own cryptocurrency, the Official Trump (TRUMP) token, on Jan. 18. Soon after its launch, the token's market cap soared to $15 billion in just 24 hours, surpassing the rise of major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, underneath this radiant picture, an ominous reality has been emerging, which now has pushed many so-called “Trump whales" to join a new addition—Elluminex. Trump token copycats on the rise: The Official Trump (TRUMP) coin's notoriety has spawned over 700 copycat tokens as of Feb. 8, 2025, as reported by The Guardian. None of these tokens have official ties to the original TRUMP meme coin. This is serving to confuse more and more investors while increasingly exposing them to scams, leaving speculators open to the risk of real losses. In the last 24 hours, the TRUMP coin has witnessed a fall of over 28% in its trading volume and is currently trading at $17.32. This price is a depreciation of 76.98% from the token’s high seen on Jan. 19 when TRUMP reached around $75. People, however, distrust the token as a rug-pull or pump-and-dump scheme, reports TRM. A rug pull occurs when a developer withdraws the liquidity of the token, effectively crashing its price and leaving investors at a loss. On the other side, pump-and-dump involves artificially inflating the price of a token so that the insiders can sell at a peak price, edging out before it crashes. No doubt, the skepticism is validated, as TRUMP’s price crashed by 76.78%. The funky appeal of TRUMP-like meme coins seems to be losing its steam as the investors are now increasingly keen on projects that have real utility and long-term promise. Elluminex: An new-generation alternative Elluminex is an emerging all-in-one DeFi hub project in the crypto landscape that runs on Telegram Open Network (TON) and is accessible on the Ethereum chain. Elluminex (ELX) targets utility and looks towards the future of DeFi. With a focus on solving fragmented liquidity, exorbitant fees, and limited accessibility, Elluminex is set to redefine DeFi by leveraging the fast-growing blockchain in the world, TON Blockchain. The hallmark of DeFi Unlike meme coins, which are fueled by hype, it provides a full-service platform that brings together a DEX, yield farming, staking, cross-chain bridging, and AI powered portfolio tracker. By addressing usability and scalability, Elluminex is trying to provide a sustainable base for the next wave of investors and developers alike. Elluminex’s vision goes beyond merely trading and speculation. The project is looking to empower through education and make the technology available for all by breaking down the complex blockchain technology so users can confidently access it—doing what blockchain technology was originally meant to do! The platform also offers an innovative pre-market feature allowing new projects launching on the TON blockchain to be accessed and will allow investors to discover diamonds before they hit the mainstream. Inclusion and innovation thus are the hallmarks of Elluminex that make it a beacon of next-gen DeFi solutions with a tangible impact, distinct from the meme coin space that has often failed to provide any real contributions to the ecosystem. Presale Opportunity In the presale, now in its first stage, the token initially sells for $0.06, with market anticipation predicting a jump to around $0.08 for the next stage. The growing interest in the presale is increasingly being invoked by investors keen to exploit the value on offer with more than 5.4 million tokens sold to a tune of $325,429 USDT so far. The deflationary nature of $ELX tokenomics as well as the cross-chain attributes are what separates Elluminex from others in the industry. $ELX powers the Elluminex platform while the token burning mechanisms reduce the total supply, thereby increasing the token's chances of rising in value in the long run. For users wishing to escape the jaws from the clutches of volatility and limited utility of the meme coins, Elluminex presents a very solid alternative: a choice that combines utility and scalability.

By bringing DeFi to the TON Network, it would immediately transform the chain and take its capabilities and vast reach to the next level.

Could XRP Surge to $20? Elluminex ($ELX) on TON Promises to Rival Traditional Assets Like Bitcoin

Elluminex

Incredibly bold predictions, coupled with ground-breaking new projects, are changing the crypto market right now. One macro view has experts forecasting XRP at $20 dollars due to improving regulation and rising institutional interest. Meanwhile, another story is developing on the TON blockchain. An all encompassing DeFi hub is about to launch with Elluminex. Aimed at blowing open the world of decentralized finance, Elluminex is set to tackle both liquidity silos and clunky user interfaces by offering a fully integrated solution. XRP's Market Momentum XRP's bullish narrative is gaining strength because of the network fundamentals and new strategic relationships which may unlock ever increasing value. While these new developments are helpful in the long term, the short term volatility, legal uncertainty and overarching bearish sentiment of the crypto market can create headwinds for XRP as it endeavors to aid the development of decentralized finance. As the users try to navigate through these delicate macro-conditions, new initiatives stand poised to make a positive impact on the crypto space. Elluminex: Leading Decentralized Finance Development on The TON Blockchain Elluminex has pioneered its use as a transformative DeFi project on the TON network, which is renowned as one of the fastest-growing blockchains by user activity, estimated at more than 950 million users and over 2 billion transactions conducted. Elluminex seeks to bring comprehensive DeFi functionalities to TON and to establish a vibrant ecosystem that encourages free trading, high liquidity, and efficient cross-chain activities. Elluminex will integrate traditional finance with blockchain technology by offering a pre-marketing platform for future projects due to launch on TON alongside a DEX, staking, yield farming, cross-chain bridging, AI portfolio tracking, and much more. An Integrated Ecosystem for Seamless Trading The platform aims to simplify operations by enabling the use of a single platform to accomplish numerous tasks. Its DEX is tailored to achieve high liquidity and low slippage through advanced order types, which allow for quick asset exchanges without the need for intermediaries. The deployment of a cross-chain bridge enables effortless asset exchange across diverse blockchains, which improves participation in the market. The integrated ecosystem is hoped to trigger increased developer and project launches on the TON network, just like how Uniswap and PancakeSwap launched on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain respectively. Based on the research report Bitget published, the total volume of transactions conducted on the TON blockchain has increased by 1800% within a six-month timeframe. This acceleration in growth is proof of the ecosystem's maturity and the opportunities available for disruptive DeFi ecosystems such as Elluminex. Innovative Approach to Presale Reinforcing sections of Elluminex's wider vision is the company's tokenomics. The presale of the native $ELX token, which has a total supply of 350 million, is expected to draw tremendous interest with the current price at only $0.06. The project continues to gain in popularity daily with thousands of new users joining the project, so the price will not stay this low for long. Development of the ecosystem and marketing are also allotted portions of the presale as well as two additional portions set for liquidity and listing, with all other allocations set at 5% pegged for the team buyback reserve. Blending TradFi and DeFi For a long time Bitcoin has been viewed as a standard for virtual gold, but high fees associated with it pair poorly with the fast-moving world of DeFi due to its relative slow transaction speed. Elluminex aims to combine fast trading with advanced management features like cross-chain asset interoperability that allows easy swap of assets across the multiple blockchains. This enables the smooth integration of both decentralized finance and traditional finance systems while also making it easier to trade assets, creating a gateway for the TON blockchain to become the premier chain for DeFi. Conclusion To summarize, as market observers remain captivated by the possibility of XRP reaching $20, Elluminex is set to disrupt the DeFi sector on the TON blockchain. The project’s integrated ecosystem, innovative tokenomics, and early adoption-centric presale structure positions it to spearhead the transformation of decentralized finance on the fastest growing blockchain in the world (TON).

Headline

Elluminex

The decentralized finance space has changed over the years and appears ready to replace traditional finance institutions, which have faced significant regulatory scrutiny, security, and privacy issues. According to Forbes, the DeFi market could explode to over $450B by 2030, which is more than 300% growth from its current market size. Elluminex (ELX) is ideally positioned to grab a share of this growing market thanks to its revolutionary DeFi hub on the TON blockchain. This new project could transform the largely untapped Toncoin network, much like how Jupiter (JUP) revolutionized Solana to become one of the dominant players in DeFi. Since Jupiter's launch, Solana has become a goldmine of explosive meme coin opportunities. Now, market participants anticipate that TON could benefit from its Jupiter-like platform―Elluminex (ELX). Let’s find the possibilities! Elluminex (ELX) To Drive DeFi Adoption On Toncoin Network Despite being among the fastest-growing blockchains, Toncoin is underdeveloped, mainly in terms of the DeFi landscape. However, this might soon change, thanks to Elluminex (ELX). The DeFi platform seeks to leverage the over 950 million users in the network to bring DeFi to the blockchain, transforming it and taking its capabilities and vast reach to the next level. The altcoin seeks to combine fragmented liquidity and leverage TON’s scalability and speed to power cross-chain swaps across 40 networks. Therefore, traders on TON will access liquidity from major networks. This increased liquidity will ensure a more efficient trading experience, minimizing slippage, which is critical for traders since slippage usually eats into profits. This will, in turn, stabilize prices in the TON ecosystem. With this view, more developers could launch on the chain. Jupiter brought this to the Solana network when it launched. Additionally, the project’s non-custodial approach, which does not require rigorous KYC processes, enables users to retain complete control over their assets. What Features Are Triggering Elluminex Adoption? Elluminex seeks to provide a seamless and user-friendly platform that allows users to trade, stake, farm, bridge, and track their portfolios. By combining these features in a single unified platform, Elluminex could open up the DeFi space for beginners and experienced users. The decentralized exchange enables users to trade an array of crypto assets from their wallets to ensure security and control. To empower informed decision-making, Elluminex features an AI portfolio tracker that enables traders to monitor, analyze, and gain insights into their assets’ performance. It also has a comprehensive educational academy that helps users broaden their knowledge of Decentralized finance (DeFi). Additionally, the platform has a pre-market access feature, where users gain early access to new TON projects through an over-the-counter platform before they are officially launched on significant exchanges. This opens the door to opportunities for traders to enter high-potential projects at the nascent stage. Outside of that, users can earn rewards by staking the token and offering liquidity to the ecosystem. ELX Token Set For Exponential Rallies The ELX token will power significant processes within its ecosystem, including governance and staking rewards. At the ongoing presale, Elluminex is selling for only $0.06. Given its innovative features and a focus on accessibility, Elluminex could see exponential growth before the end of its presale, positioning it among the best crypto to watch in 2025. The presale just started a few weeks ago, and Elluminex has already raised over $300,000 in ICO funding. This attests to its growing demand and growth potential. Now could be the best time to join the Elluminex revolution, as it stands a chance of making massive returns. With its cross-chain capabilities and TON’s affiliation with Telegram's nearly 1 billion users, ELX's price will likely skyrocket in the months ahead. This makes it the best DeFi coin to buy now.

The TON Blockchain Brought Millions Of People Into Crypto, These Users Want More Than Tapping Games

Cutoshi

2024 saw Toncoin becoming one of the fastest-growing blockchains in the Layer 1 space, counting more than 100 million active addresses. One of Toncoin’s most attractive aspects is its wildly popular Telegram-based gaming platform, which achieved viral status with titles like Notcoin and Hamster Kombat. However, many speculators still deem Toncoin as underrated, mainly due to its lack of a comprehensive DeFi framework that unlocks its full potential. This is why the upcoming launch of Elluminex represents a crucial milestone on the Toncoin roadmap. Elluminex (ELX) is a decentralized exchange that aims to provide a complete DeFi experience to the Toncoin ecosystem, while simultaneously tapping into Telegram’s 950-million user base. With this in mind, speculators foresee incredible rallies for Elluminex, and savvy crypto enthusiasts are already rushing to the $ELX presale to secure their position. Discover Elluminex - Toncoin’s Better Version Of Uniswap Elluminex emerges as a pioneering force that harnesses the capabilities of the TON network while solving the typical inefficiencies of established DEX platforms. Protocols such as Uniswap and PancakeSwap lack true interoperability between blockchains. This leads to a wide array of issues that compromise the user experience, as sub optimal chain integration dilutes liquidity increasing waiting times and fees. To solve this, Elluminex introduces an advanced cross-chain bridging mechanism, enabling nearly instantaneous transactions across disconnected blockchains. This allows Elluminex to aggregate liquidity from various sources, which minimizes transaction delays and slippage, ensuring users can capitalize on the latest trends without incurring unforeseen expenses. Another defining aspect of Elluminex is its focus on self-custody. Traders maintain complete control over their assets, removing reliance on intermediaries and third parties. Additionally, Elluminex does away with KYC verification requirements, enabling users to protect their anonymity. The Elluminex ecosystem is underpinned by the native $ELX token, which facilitates staking, governance, and other utility functions. Early adopters stand to benefit from staking rewards projected at an impressive 18% APY, incentivizing both initial participation and long-term engagement. But the privileges don’t end here, as holders will have access to an exclusive over-the-counter platform. Users will be able to purchase new TON-based projects before they are released to the public, allowing them to secure an allocation at preferential prices early on. Toncoin Set For A Major Reversal Amid Technical Updates And This Explosive Telegram Announcement Toncoin (TON) recently launched the v2024.10 update, introducing critical improvements to network efficiency and security through enhanced data management and reduced transmission rates. Other crucial Toncoin upgrades include faster channel creation, improved Distributed Hash Table (DHT) lookups, and numerous bug fixes. Technicals aside, Telegram recently broke the Internet by declaring Toncoin the only accepted cryptocurrency within its network. While this is not entirely surprising, as Toncoin has been developed by Telegram, up until now, the messaging app has integrated several different cryptocurrencies. The exclusivity agreement means that Toncoin will be the only protocol for linking Telegram Mini Apps to blockchain wallets, effectively restricting other blockchain networks from integration. This move comes as the TON Foundation prepares for "explosive growth in 2025," leveraging Telegram's massive global user base and positioning Toncoin as the primary cryptocurrency for the platform's services. Notcoin Set To Benefit From The Bullish Toncoin News Despite being one of the most popular TON-based games on Telegram, Notcoin (NOT) has been struggling during the bearish start of 2025. Notcoin has nosedived from its June 2024 all-time high of $0.029 to $0.0051, representing an 80% breakdown in value. Notcoin’s persistent downward trajectory highlights significant market skepticism about its future potential, while short positions are piling up in the order books. Trading with a 5% daily loss, Notcoin continues to struggle, as speculators expect a breach of the current support level in the upcoming days. However, the picture is not entirely bearish for Notcoin. The recent Toncoin developments and the incoming resurgence of the crypto gaming narrative could allow Notcoin to regain ground in the upcoming months. Join The $ELX Presale Before The Next Surge In just a few days, the Elluminex presale has raised over $300,000 as demand is rising rapidly. At the time of writing, $ELX tokens are selling at a discounted price of just $0.06, marking the perfect entry point for early adopters. With the $ELX valuation expected to experience massive price multipliers as the cycle progresses, there has never been a better time to look into this new gem.

Why Dogwifhat Investors Are Looking To Viral X Meme Coin Cutoshi (CUTO)

Cutoshi

Dogwifhat (WIF) continues to struggle as most of its 2024 gains were wiped out over the past few weeks. Investors appear to be growingly disillusioned with meme coins as it’s now becoming clearer that 99% of the recent entries are purely driven by hype and once the market hops onto the next trend, they quickly become irrelevant. While this is true for most memes, outliers that bring real use cases tend to thrive in the long run, as Shiba Inu and Bonk have demonstrated. This is why newcomer Cutoshi (CUTO) is rapidly gaining traction, as its meme energy is backed by a vast DeFi ecosystem that could soon see it rival established protocols like Uniswap and PancakeSwap. Dogwifhat Rebounds, But Momentum Has Waned Quickly At the time of writing, Dogwifhat (WIF) trades at $1.14 with little to no movement in terms of 24-hour price action. Zooming out, things are looking quite bearish for Dogwifhat, as over the last month alone more than 38% of its value has evaporated. After experiencing a sharp rejection at $4.18 in November, Dogwifhat has been in a free fall, with its price spiraling downward and threatening a close below the critical $1 support. While this type of extreme swings is not something out of the ordinary for meme coins, the market-wide uncertainty further exacerbates Dogwifhat’s problem. Currently, Dogwifhat finds itself in a do-or-die situation, and bulls must hold this level at all costs or further breakdowns could follow. Analyst Val Me shares a similar opinion, as she posted a chart reading on X drawing attention to Dogwifhat’s critical price zones, with a dive toward the $0.32-$0.36 territory to be considered a realistic scenario. How Cutoshi Raises The Bar For Meme Coins Cutoshi draws inspiration from the Lucky Cats of Japanese traditions, which are displayed in stores and homes as tokens of good fortune. Cutoshi, is quite literally a token of good fortune, as it’s designed to reward users that engage with its vast ecosystem via the Cutoshi Farming initiative. Cutoshi’s flagship feature is CUTO DEX, a decentralized exchange that connects isolated blockchains. This will allow for seamless cross-chain swaps at near-instantaneous speed and with fees as low as 0.25%. Users will have access to an exclusive DeFi wallet for optimal asset management, and no KYC will be required to join, ensuring that their personal data remains inaccessible to third parties. Through the Cutoshi Farming model, investors will have the opportunity to earn income while completing fun missions and quests or by staking the $CUTO token. Over 3,700 participants have farmed more than 2.1 million $CUTO tokens. Stage 4 of the presale is 70% complete and with $CUTO selling for just $0.031, this is the perfect entry point for investors to capitalize on the utility-driven meme coin revolution. When taking into account Cutoshi’s much smaller market cap compared to the likes of Bonk and other memes, Cutoshi is set to bring disproportionately higher returns once the bull run is in full swing.
