Sony Music Y Maluma Renuevan Su Contrato Discográfico

Sony Music Latin reciente- mente renovó el contrato discográfico del ídolo juvenil de la música Latina a nivel mundial, MALUMA, en una reunión que se llevó a cabo en su ciudad natal de Medellín, Colombia.

El acuerdo multi-millonario incluye condiciones que se ajustan al mercado actual de la música, los nuevos compromisos del artista, así como los del equipo de Sony. El contrato fue la resultante de varios meses de negociación por parte de Sony y el equipo de Maluma.

“Me llena de felicidad y or- gullo seguir esta aventura de la mano de la discográfica que creyó en mi desde el principio – soy crey- ente en que en la union está la fuerza y más aún cuando hay bue- na vibra y se hacen las cosas con pasión – Sony junto con mi equipo de management, somos un team ganador y estoy seguro que juntos seguiremos teniendo importantes logros y muchísimos éxitos,” ex- presó Maluma.

“Ha sido un honor para to- dos nosotros trabajar con Maluma desde el inicio de su carrera. Juan Luis es una persona maravillosa y un artista que no para de crecer. Gracias Juan Luis, gracias a tu familia, gracias a Walter Kolm, Miguel Lua y el gran equipo de WK por renovar la confianza con tu otra familia: Sony Music. Te deseamos todo lo mejor del mundo. Esto recién comienza” dijo Afo Verde, el Chairman y CEO de Sony Music Latin Iberia.

Maluma firmó su contrato discográfico con la multinacional Sony Music Latin a fines del 2014 y desde entonces se ha posicionado once veces con el #1 en la radio de Estados Unidos según el lista- do Latin Airplay de Billboard y se ha consolidado como un artista multi-platino y multi-premiado, ganador del Latin GRAMMY al Mejor Album Pop Vocal Contemporaneo 2018 (por F.A.M.E.). La representación de Maluma está a cargo de Walter Kolm Entertainment en colaboración con la em- presa del artista Royalty World Inc.

“Desde que arrancó la car- rera de Maluma fue en Sony Mu- sic. Feliz de extender el contrato con la compañía número uno y de la mano de su líder Afo Verde,” expresó Walter Kolm.

County Attorney Ryan Obtains Settlement to Stop Polluting by Pasadena Refinery

Harris County Attorney Vince Ryan obtained $210,000 for the County this week in the settlement of an environmental enforcement action against Pasadena Refining Services Inc. (PRSI). The company also agreed to perform an audit and to take corrective actions to prevent the occurrence of future violations and to correct other problems uncovered at the refinery during the lawsuit. The settlement comes as the result of a lawsuit seeking to hold the company responsible for repeated violations of Texas environmental protection laws.

Harris County filed suit against PRSI in March of 2017 for five separate violations of the Tex- as Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act that occurred between 2015 and 2016 that were investigated by the Harris County Pollution Control Services Department.

County officials and company representatives agreed to work together to resolve the case rather than require a trial to achieve compliance. The company agreed to pay a total of $415,000 in attorney’s fees and penalties. $210,000 of this amount was paid to Harris County this week with the balance being paid to the State of Texas.

In addition to paying penalties and attorney’s fees, PRSI must hire an independent auditor to certify the causes of the violations and report recommended corrective changes to the company. PRSI must then implement those changes according to a timetable that is a part of a judicial order.

Violations included an incident that occurred on July 25, 2016, in which 1,446 pounds of sulfur dioxide was released during a flaring operation. Sulfur dioxide is a toxic gas that has a characteristic smell. Human exposure to the gas can cause difficulty breathing and can be fatal. The release was almost five times the limit imposed by law. As a result of the release, the Washburn Tunnel and the Houston Ship Channel were closed and the City of Galena Park issued a shelter-in-place order that lasted for one-and-a-half hours.

PRSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Petrobras, a Brazil-ian national oil company. The violations occurred at the century-old refinery the company operates on the Houston Ship Channel at 111 Red Bluff Road in Pasadena. The facility in question is one of oldest refineries in Texas.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and Tex- as Attorney General also participated in the case.

Statement From Tony Buzbee in Light of Today’s Ruling by Judge Randy Wilson

In a December 10, 2018 statement, Sylvester Turner said:

“So either we must implement Prop B or Prop B is void because it is pre-empted by state law. The court will ultimately decide.”

The court has decided.

Today, Harris County Judge Randy Wilson nullified the temporary restraining order requested by the Houston Police Officers’ Union to block implementation of Proposition B, the voter-approved pay parity amendment.

“The balance of equities weighs in favor of firefighters after the Houston voters decided they would rather have pay parity,” Judge Wilson said, adding that, “The Pay Parity Amendment does not violate public policy, is not unconstitutionally vague, and can be addressed through the initiative process.”

I am again offering to me- diate a discussion between the firefighters’ union and the city. I will not make a dime on this work – I am passionate about taking care of our first responders and not wasting this city’s money. Litigation is not the answer. The firefighters have accepted my offer, will the mayor?

City council members approved a $500,000 contract to be paid to Turner’s former law firm to defend the city against litigation related to the voter-approved pay parity charter amendment. If anyone thinks this dispute will only cost our city the planned $500,000 in lawyers’ fees, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Litigation is simply not the fiscally-responsible path forward, nor is it the sole option.

Not only is fighting Proposition B—the will of 292,000 voters—a losing battle, but it will take years, and it will waste tax- payer money. In the meantime, there are firefighter families out there who can’t sign their kids up for dance classes, tutoring and other activities. It’s time we equally value our police and fire first responders in Houston. I am offering to facilitate a cost-free discussion between the firefighters and the city to find a solution that works for everyone.

My goal is to start a dialogue with the mayor and get other community leaders engaged to try to resolve this dispute. Let’s sit down, roll up our sleeves and get to work. The city will have to compromise, perhaps the fire- fighters will have to compromise, but let’s stop this litigation process.

East End Chamber Of Commerce: Blanca E. Blanco Wins 2018 Best Small Business Of The Year

East End Chamber Of Commerce: Blanca E. Blanco Wins 2018 Best Small Business Of The Year

Independent Financial Advisor, Blanca E. Blanco, was awarded the 2018 Best Small Business Award at the East End Chamber of Commerce’s 2018 Awards Banquet. “I was honored to be nominated along other great companies,” said Blanco, who was overjoyed and surprised, since the other two nomi- nees are more seasoned in their businesses.

Blanco has fifteen years of experience in the financial industry. Prior to starting her financial firm three years ago, she did a six-year stint at Chase Bank, as a financial advisor. Although, becoming an independent financial advisor has its challenges, Blanco worked hard to overcome them. This tenacity helped to establish herself as the “go to person for women” who suddenly find themselves single with assets to invest. Blanco has discovered this exclusive niche that also includes a mix of Spanish-speaking clients and investors. She has expanded her services to include life insurance to protect the assets of her clients, as well. Her fifteen year trajectory in the financial services industry began at Edward Jones in Texas City in 2002, and then in 2005, she transitioned to Merrill Lynch in Galveston, Texas.

Blanco moved from her native San Antonio in the ‘80’s to Houston seeking greater opportunities in the law field where she worked as a legal secretary for 12 years. Although, the economy was in a downturn due to the oil and real estate bust, Blanco prospered working at large law firms, including Baker & Botts, and later at Gissell, Stone, Barker & Lyman.

One day she witnessed a friend doing a newspaper lay out, and Blanco, said, to herself, “I can do that”. Little did she know that her belief would be a portal that would one day lead her to publish VIVA! Magazine. The publication was a Hispanic themed newsprint tabloid insert, printed in English, which circulated in the Houston Post from 1991-1995. Blanco was the publisher, editor, writer, photographer and layout designer for this weekly periodical with a 300 thousand circulation. VIVA! Magazine featured Hispanic business owners, who went from rags to riches to build successful enterprises. In its heyday, the magazine was the place to be seen in the social pages.

Blanco is a high-profile influencer and master networker in Houston’s East End. She has a decade of being an active member of the East End Chamber of Commerce, where she has served on the Ambassador Committee. In that role, she has worked hard to expand the East End Chamber’s footprint recruiting new members and welcoming new business to the area.

She also gives her time serving on the board of the East End Management District, an agency that promotes redevelopment of the East End community. Other highlights of her career include serving as the Host Committee Chair, for the East End Street Fest this past October. In 2003, Blanco served as President of the Rotary Club in La Marque, TX. Her legacy has been to serve and give back to the community where she hangs her business shingle. Presently, Blanco assists the Cleveland-Ripley House in Pasadena, TX, conducting financial educational seminars in Spanish. Another milestone was being named “Woman of the Year” for the Business and Professional Women Association of Houston. She is also a proud inductee in the Hispanic Women Hall of Fame by the Houston Hispanic Women in Leadership.

Blanco is also an active Democrat who has worked on several campaigns including Tex- as State Senator-Elect, Carol Alvarado, Congresswoman-Elect Sylvia Garcia, and Harris County Judge- Elect Lina Hidalgo, as well as, Pct 2 Commissioner-Elect Adrian Garcia.
Her philosophy is to never forget where one comes from and to aid those that need a helping hand. Her goals for 2019 include growing her business so she can “pay it forward” giving more of her time and resources to those in need. Furthermore, she wants to mentor and pass on her life lessons that she has gained over her business life.

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.
