Maluma Wins the 2018 Latin Grammy for Contemporary Pop Vocal Album for F.A.M.E.
LAS VEGAS, Nevada (November 16, 2018). Global Latin music idol and box office phenomenon MALUMA won his first Latin GRAMMY last night for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Álbum (for F.A.M.E.) at the 19th annual awards celebration which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
“This seems like a dream. The people who know me, know that I have worked really hard for this. Last year, I was one of the most nominated and I left empty-handed and tonight I have one nomination and I have the GRAMMY in my hand,” Maluma emotionally shared. “Thank you . . . I want to dedicate this, especially, to my team who are here with me. My family, my parents who are watching me and couldn’t be here. Mom, it was hard but we made it,” he continued, dedicating the award to the kids in his foundation, El Arte de los Sueños. “Dreaming is worth it.”This was twenty-four year old Maluma’s tenth career Latin GRAMMY nomination.
F.A.M.E. debuted at #1 reaching 6X Platinum in the United States and 2X Platinum in México in its very first week out. Three of its songs have reached #1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay Chart. To date, Maluma has achieved eleven #1s on the chart.
About MALUMA:
At only twenty-four years of age, Maluma is widely considered one of the leading voices in Latin music and a bona fide global youth idol. Born Juan Luis Londoño in Medellin, Colombia, he formulated his artistic moniker Maluma from the first two letters of the names of his mother, father and sister.
Maluma is one of social media’s most popular artists with over 23 million Facebook fans, 5.1 million Twitter followers, and a whopping 36.6 million Instagram followers (making him the leading Latin male artist on Instagram). His official YouTube/VEVO channel has garnered over 8 billion views and has more than 15 million subscribers, having earned him a YouTube Diamond Play Button Award. With his Maluma World Tour he has achieved unparalleled success, having sold over one million tickets in 105 worldwide concerts in 2017 alone and becoming the top concert-selling Latin artist in the world. In 2015 he released his latest album Pretty Boy Dirty Boy under the Sony Music US Latin label which debuted at #1. In his first year and a half in the U.S. market Maluma garnered five #1 songs on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart. His latest album F.A.M.E. also debuted at #1 reaching 6X Platinum in the United States and 2X Platinum in México in its very first week out. Maluma is the youngest artist to simultaneously hold both the #1 and #2 spots on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart (with “Sin Contrato” and “Chantaje”) and only the sixth act to ever achieve the feat. To date Maluma has had ten #1 songs according to Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart.

TheDream.us Anuncia Nuevas Becas Para Dreamers
TheDream.US, el programa de acceso y éxito universitario más grande del país para jóvenes inmigrantes, comenzó su nueva ronda de aplicaciones de becas para el año académico 2019-2020.
TheDream.US, ha otorga- do más de 4,000 becas a estudiantes con DACA y TPS en más de 75 universidades asociadas en 15 estados y Washington, D.C., cree que todos los jóvenes, independientemente de donde nacieron, deberían tener la oportunidad de cumplir su potencial, obtener una educación y participar plenamente en el país al que llaman hogar.
Hasta la fecha, la organización ha comprometido más de 140 millones de dólares de becas para los DREAMers.
La nueva ronda de becas viene después de la reciente publicación de un reporte de The- Dream.US que resume las respuestas y las implicaciones de una encuesta nacional de 1,400 becarios de TheDream.US. Los resultados de la encuesta sub- rayan lo importante que son los logros educativos para los sueños y futuros de los becarios, mien- tras que muestran un retrato de la incertidumbre y la ansiedad que enfrentan los becarios en un difícil clima de inmigración, en particular con el anticipado fin de DACA y TPS.
Según Donald E Graham, el exeditor del Washington Post y cofundador de TheDream.US, “Seguimos totalmente comprometidos a ayudar a los DREAMers a acced- er a una educación universitaria. Pero, seamos claros, el compromiso más poderoso sigue siendo de los propios DREAMers. Como se describe en ‘En
sus propias palabras’ y como lo demuestra el número récord de applicciones de becas que The- Dream.US recibió el año pasa- do, los DREAMers se mantienen firmes ante la creencia de que na- die puede quitarles la educación universitaria”.
TheDream.US anunció la expansión de la disponibilidad de ayuda estatal para los DREAMers de New Jersey.
En un contraste desafortunado, la Corte Suprema de Arizona hizo más difícil que los DREAMers de Arizona accedieran a la educación universitaria en un fallo que negaba a estos estudiantes la matrícula estatal.
Reconociendo el impacto devastador que esto podría ten- er en los DREAMers de Arizona, Benedictine University Mesa y Grand Canyon University se unieron a Arizona State University para servir a TheDream.US be- carios que quedaron en el limbo. Las tres universidades han acordado cerrar la brecha entre los costos de matrícula y las cuotas y la beca.
TheDream.US ofrece dos becas. La beca Nacional de has- ta 33,000 dólares para una licenciatura es para graduados de la escuela secundaria o del colegio comunitario. La Beca de Oportunidad de hasta 80,000 dólares es para estudiantes que viven en estados específicos y cerrados donde no pueden obtener la matrícula dentro del estado y les brinda la oportunidad de asistir a una universidad asociada fuera de su estado natal

Houston Municipal Courts Announces Fall Amnesty Program
For the next 3 weeks, the City of Houston Municipal Courts Department (MCD) will discount certain delinquent cases to help individuals save money when they resolve those cases.
“Many of our citizens are still putting the pieces back together from Harvey, and we understand that sometimes many are not able to meet all their obligations,” stated Judge J. Elaine Marshall, Director and Presiding Judge of the Municipal Courts Department. “We are hoping this final Amnesty of the year will give everyone the opportunity to clear up old business, reduce the stress that delinquent cases cause, to start the new year off fresh,” said Judge Marshall.
The Amnesty Program will begin Friday, October 26, 2018 at 8:00 a.m. and ends Saturday, November 17, 2018 at 11:59p.m. Any defendant who voluntarily appears at any Municipal Court location during the amnesty period will be permitted to resolve all of their eligible delinquent cases, including Failure to Appear (FTA) cases, and will not be subject to arrest. Cases eligible for amnesty include cases that were delinquent prior to September 1, 2018. Only the defendant named in the citation or their attorney can participate in the Amnesty Program. Bonding companies, friends, relatives, and spouses cannot make the amnesty request on behalf of someone else.
The Amnesty Program does not apply to a defendant that is in custody, previously adjudicated cases, parking citations, administrative violations, bond forfeitures, or civil cases. Individuals may call the Houston Helpline by dialing 3-1-1 or 713-837-0311 for questions about whether their specific case(s) is amnesty eligible. Defendants may take advantage of the Amnesty Program by phone, US Mail or in person at any Municipal Court location.

September Marks 22nd Consecutive Month Of Upstream Oil And Gas Job Growth: 47% Of Jobs Recovered
Texas oil and natural gas companies added 1,100 up- stream jobs* in September, marking the 22nd consecutive month of job growth, according to data from the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). Texas has re- covered 47% of jobs lost between the high point in employment in December 2014 and the low point in September 2016. Since the low point, employment in the Texas upstream sector has grown by 55,100 jobs, which pay among the highest wages in Texas.
Oil and gas jobs are some of the best jobs in Texas. Continuous job growth in the oil and natural gas industry not only bolsters our nation’s energy security, but also anchors Texas families and their communities,” said Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil & Gas Association. “Oil and natural gas jobs, investment and innovation secure our economy, our environment and our future.”
*Upstream activity includes oil and natural gas extraction and sup- port activities for mining and excludes other industry sectors such as refining, petrochemicals, fuels wholesaling, oilfield equipment manu- facturing, pipelines, and gas utilities.
