Quest Diagnostics to pay $6 million settlement for alleged kickback scheme
(Story updated on May 1, 2017)
Medical laboratory giant Quest Diagnostics agreed to pay a $6 million settlement to resolve a lawsuit alleging one of the company's laboratories paid kickbacks to physicians and patients who used its tests, the U.S. Justice Department announced Friday.
The complaint filed by the federal government claimed that Berkeley HeartLab in Alameda, Calif., which Quest acquired in 2011, paid physicians and patients to use its blood tests as well as charge for frivolous tests.
"Companies that pay kickbacks to referring doctors corrupt those doctors' independence, leaving patients vulnerable to expensive and unnecessary testing," acting Assistant Attorney General Chad Readler of the Justice Department's Civil Division said in a statement.
Madison, N.J.-based Quest said in a statement that it ended Berkeley HeartLab "soon after discovering BHL's use of paying processing and handling fees."
Berkeley allegedly paid referring physicians kickbacks disguised as processing and handling fees and waived copayments for patients, the complaint said. The medically unnecessary cardiovascular tests, which violated the False Claims Act, diverted federal taxpayer dollars from important healthcare programs, according to the lawsuit.
"We will not allow laboratories to provide financial incentives to induce physicians to steer patients their way," special agent in charge Derrick Jackson of HHS' Office of Inspector General in Atlanta, said in a statement.
The federal government intervened on this case as well as two related actions in March 2015 and will continue to pursue claims against the remaining defendants: Latonya Mallory, the former CEO of Health Diagnostics Laboratory; and marketing company BlueWave Healthcare Consultants and its owners, Floyd Calhoun Dent III and Robert Bradford Johnson.
In April 2015, the government reached settlements on similar matters with Health Diagnostics Laboratory of Richmond, Va., and Singulex of Alameda, Calif.
"This settlement is part of the government's ongoing efforts to address conduct that allows medical decisions to be influenced by money rather than the best interests of patients," U.S. Attorney Channing Phillips of the District of Columbia said in a statement.

The Incredible Power of Knowing Your Purpose
updated on July 7, 2019 July 7, 2019 by rperryLeave a Comment on The Incredible Power of Knowing Your Purpose
In recent years, there has been much debate about Tim Cook's stint as Apple's CEO. He's been good, but does he live up to the precedent set by Steve Jobs? The aura around Apple felt different with Jobs at the helm.
Think back to the late 2000s. What did buying an iPhone mean to you? Were you purchasing hardware that allowed you to speak verbally with your friends who were far away? No, you already had that. Why buy an expensive phone from Apple, then?
You were buying innovation, and it happened to be a cell phone.
This is the power of having a clear purpose. When it's executed at a high level, a meaningful purpose can offer an experience to each company stakeholder that transcends beyond even the product itself.
In his TED Talk and book Start With Why, Simon Sinek illustrates this concept with beautiful simplicity. Sinek describes the "Golden Circle" — three concentric circles. The innermost says "Why," followed by "How," then "What."
He explains that a company's Why, their purpose, needs to come first. The Why informs the How — how the company is different or better than the competition. And they both inform the What — the actual product.
Sinek says that most people act from the outside-in. Companies know What they do, and maybe How they do it better than the competitors. Few have a clear Why. As Sinek explains, your purpose isn't just to make a profit — that is a result. Rather, "What's your purpose? What's your cause? What's your belief?"
You may have purchased a phone from Apple, but what you really were buying into was their innovative purpose.
This is the reverse of how most consumers, and even business owners, think. What do you say when someone asks about your business? If you normally say, "we make [product]," then I challenge you to consider if you have a clear purpose, and therefore identity, for your company.
The value in having a powerful Why affects your employees, your investors, and your customers. Having a clear purpose gives them a message to buy into.
And a powerful Why gives your brand equity that extends beyond the product's functionality.
Products eventually become outdated. Segments eventually become saturated. But a meaningful purpose that is recognized by the public extends beyond all of that. That equity can enable your business to maintain your customers' trust when you expand to new categories.
In a practical sense, having a defined Golden Circle for your business will help you set goals more effectively. If you know what your purpose is, you need to set and achieve short-term goals that are in line with your Why and bring you closer to it.
Defendable territory
In the book, Sinek describes that competitors may try to copy the success of companies with a strong Why.
One example he reviewed was Southwest Airlines. When they started, they presented themselves as accessible, and "the champion of the common man." They were low cost. Delta and United eventually launched low-cost options to compete with Southwest, but they were not financial successes.
Sinek explains that they copied Southwest's How, offering a low-cost airline service, but they weren't able to imitate their Why. Southwest's customers believe that flying Southwest says something about their identity.
When executed well consistently, a Why cannot be effectively mimicked.
Further still, having a clear purpose can be valuable in your personal life too.
What measure do you use to guide your decisions? How should you spend your time and money? Having a Why for your own life will empower you to make these choices with certainty.
So, in all that you do, remember your purpose. It can be your compass. Don't forget to "Start with Why."

Impasse could put Obamacare fate in Alexander's hands

Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander(Photo: Wade Payne / AP)
WASHINGTON – Senate Republicans' failure to come to a consensus on how to dismantle former President Barack Obama's signature health care law could potentially put the issue back in the hands of Sen. Lamar Alexander.
The Tennessee Republican, who chairs the Senate committee with jurisdiction over health care issues, gave no indication Friday how he plans to proceed after the Senate killed what had been considered the GOP's last-ditch bill to repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
But Alexander said last week that, should Republicans come up short in delivering on their seven-year campaign pledge to repeal and replace the law, he would call hearings before his committee to look for ways to stabilize the individual insurance market.
He repeated his commitment to addressing that issue in a statement released early Friday, shortly after the Senate narrowly rejected a skeletal plan to repeal parts of the law. It was the third – and most devastating – Republican repeal bill to fail this week.
Both Alexander and Sen. Bob Corker backed the legislation, which GOP leaders had hoped would set the stage for negotiations with the House to cobble together a much broader bill.
"I voted to take the next step toward what I believed was our best opportunity to repeal and replace Obamacare," Alexander said. "The Senate's failure to do this leaves an urgent problem that I am committed to addressing: Tennessee's state insurance commissioner says our individual insurance market is very near collapse."
Alexander repeated what he has said many times during the health care debate – that his main concern is doing what he can to help the 350,000 Tennesseans and 18 million Americans in the individual market who may have no options to purchase health insurance in 2018 and 2019.
Obamacare repeal is dead for now. What could that mean for you?
Corker also expressed disappointment in the collapse of the legislation, which he called "the best path forward." He said he hopes that Congress would "expeditiously move to a process that will generate an outcome that is better for the American people than what is in place today."
After the skeletal bill's demise, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seemed to concede defeat. The Kentucky Republican said it was "time to move on" rather than trying again to pass a GOP bill. He said he wants to hear ideas from Democrats about what to do next.
It was a stunning reversal of fortune for a leader who had shut Democrats out of the process for months.
In his drive to push repeal legislation through the Senate, McConnell had chosen to piece together various proposals with input from a small group of Republican senators, but no Democrats. He then took the bills directly to the Senate floor instead of running them through the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which Alexander chairs.
Senate narrowly defeats 'skinny repeal' of Obamacare, as McCain votes 'no'
When that strategy collapsed, Arizona Sen. John McCain, one of three Republicans who provided the votes to kill the skeletal bill, suggested the Senate go back to the normal way of legislating – meaning lawmakers from both parties should come up with a bill and then send the legislation to the relevant committees for hearings.
That would put the issue back in the hands of Alexander, his committee, and the panel's top Democrat, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, and would give them considerable power to shape the legislation – something they did not have during the recent debate.
"I have great faith in the ability of the senator from Tennessee, Lamar Alexander, the senator from Washington, Patty Murray, and others to work together in a bipartisan fashion to craft a bill that increases competition, lowers costs and improves care for the American people," McCain said in a statement on Friday.
"I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to trust each other, stop the political gamesmanship, and put the health care needs of the American people first. We can do this."
McConnell, who calls the shots when it comes to legislative strategy, remained silent on his next move.
Sen. Alexander to convene hearings on stabilizing insurance market as GOP bill collapses
Meanwhile, over in the House, Tennessee Republicans lamented the Senate's failure to pass a bill.
"After seven years of promising the American people that we would save them from Obamacare, the Senate last night broke their promise," said Rep. Diane Black, R-Gallatin. "After months of debate, they failed to find even a single piece of health care legislation that they could support, including the same bill they passed in 2015, and then they gave up. This is unacceptable."
Rep. Scott DesJarlais, a South Pittsburg Republican and a physician who ran for Congress on a pledge to repeal Obamacare, also expressed frustration with the Senate and urged lawmakers not to give up.
"We must keep pressure on defenders – both Democrats and some Republicans, unfortunately – of the unacceptable status quo," he said.

Exodus 10Exodus 12
Exodus 11 New International Version (NIV)
The Plague on the Firstborn
11 Now the Lord had said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely. 2 Tell the people that men and women alike are to ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold." 3 (The Lord made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh's officials and by the people.)
4 So Moses said, "This is what the Lord says: 'About midnight I will go throughout Egypt. 5 Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the female slave, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. 6 There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or ever will be again. 7 But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any person or animal.' Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel. 8 All these officials of yours will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, 'Go, you and all the people who follow you!' After that I will leave." Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh.
9 The Lord had said to Moses, "Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you—so that my wonders may be multiplied in Egypt." 10 Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let the Israelites go out of his country.

11 And the Lord said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver and jewels of gold.
3 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
4 And Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the Lord doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

How Criminal Law Works
e-ISBN 978-1-61163-479-2
How Criminal Law Works: A Conceptual and Practical Guide
A Conceptual and Practical Guide
by Samuel H. Pillsbury
Tags: Criminal Law, Criminal Law, Legal Issues
How Criminal Law Works provides a conceptual guide to the law by introducing the reader to the special terminology, methods and traditions that inform criminal law. It pays special attention to the language of criminal law and its challenges. Designed to be highly readable, the book plainly defines all critical terms and makes no assumptions about prior knowledge of terms or concepts. The text features multiple examples setting out realistic situations which illustrate legal analysis.
The book also serves as a practical guide to law by relating the law as written to the realities of law as it is often applied. Sidebars supply related discussions of particular problems or practical dilemmas. From start to finish the author integrates criminal law theory, doctrine, and practice.
The book is divided into five parts: Basic Structure and Principles, Act and Mens Rea, Crimes of Violence (homicide and rape), Inchoate Liability (attempt, accomplice and conspiracy), and Defenses (insanity, self-defense, intoxication).
"How Criminal Law Works represents a lively and richly informative roadmap canvassing the principles, rules, and practice of substantive criminal law. As a companion to casebooks it promises untold 'aha!' moments of insight into the meaning and implications of judicial decisions, be they turgid and obtuse or concise and elegant. As a standalone text it is a goldmine combining legal doctrine, illustrative examples, and real-world application. As accessible as it is enlightening, it will offer students of criminal justice and law, as well as established scholars and practitioners, new understanding about the fundamentals of crime and punishment and their workings. It is an extraordinarily useful and evocative work." — James R. Acker, Distinguished Teaching Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University at Albany
"A tour de force. On issue after issue, Pillsbury achieves clarity without sacrificing depth and sophistication. My students found the book engaging and extremely helpful." — George Thomas, Rutgers University Board of Governors Professor of Law
Students say:
"I especially liked the hypothetical problems that illustrated each point. These helped by giving me concrete situations to which I could apply the concepts."
"Many times better than any black letter commercial outline in teaching concepts and ideas. Also, it helps as a middle step between classroom work and outline preparation."
"The first thing that struck as incredibly helpful was the straightforward language."
"I honestly believe that it's a great supplement… It helped me a great deal in understanding the subject."

Historical Black Business
by Jermaine Broadnax
Being a successful foundational Black American of 2020 is nothing new. Black Americans have contributed our conservativeness to the United States , for hundreds of years, we built and shaped the energy of this country.
The first Black leaders in America were sent to Africa, which crippled & stalled the leadership system. The American Colonization Society (ACS) was created by European colonizers in 1816. This was a effort by the white elites to remove all the free intellects within the area, mixed them in with native Africans in Liberia. The ACS lasted till 1964. It founded Liberia, sending 13,000 blacks there from the 1820s onwards. Among ACS supporters: White slave owners, who saw free blacks as a threat to slavery, both as possible troublemakers and as living examples that gave lie to the idea that blacks were fit only to be slaves.
Its important to understand why the leaders who escaped slavery such as Nat turner , and Harriet Tubman get talked about so much. Because white Americans removed the real threats of America from the country. Blacks who could read and write in the south was a serious threat on the influence of blacks enslaved. Whites, who feared free black labour, and feared the rise of Black Excellence. White abolitionists and majority blacks were against the ACS: they saw blacks as having a rightful, equal place in American society.
President Lincoln was an opportunist, and also an ACS supporter. In 1862 he still believed in ethnic cleansing. But by the time he gave the Gettysburg Address in 1863 he believed in a multiracial society, only because of the failed attempts to send blacks to Panama and Haiti.
As early as the 1890s, black Americans such as W.E.B. Du Bois, began to trace black culture in the United States to Africa. Jubilee Singers introduced Negro spirituals to white Americans. and the American Negro Academy, organized in 1897, promoted African American literature, arts, music, and history. These are just the beginnings of the con-structure of real Black America.
Black mothers matter, and these mothers were determined to live and work as wives within a traditional household modeled largely on those of a criminal society. By 1900, most Black American women worked from morning to night in the cotton fields alongside their family. When the mother got home in the evening, She would still be cleaning, cooking, washing, and taking care of her husband. Black American women were unified in the early 1900's. Whether it was a local church, or a meeting group. They had a reform agenda, pushing for Black rights, anti-lynching legislation, suffrage for women, and the availability of higher education for Blacks.
The Black Women's Club Movement, was created by a group of black local leaders. It pre-dates the NAACP, it was created as a means of destroying Jim Crow. The Naacp got their idea & concepts from the earliest Black Women leadership groups. From 1900-1919 you can make an argument that the elite blacks were creating a black renaissance era. How did we have a better blueprint 100 years ago on what to do , then 2020? Yes it has been a regression as far as ownership. But what can we learn from the black elite of 100 years ago, just 35 years removed from holocaust slavery?
Jack Johnson was heavyweight champ from 1910-1915, the only reason he lost the title, because he was broke and he threw the fight, he never did get his promised money or a rematch. They had to hustle the title from jack Johnson via extortion. First Black Heavyweight champion ever.
Annie Malone was the first woman millionaire in America. Her parents were slaves, she also dropped out of high school. She would become a millionaire business owner from the years 1902-1930. She is the first female millionaire in America that nobody ever likes to talk about.
Madam Cj walker, her parents were slaves, the simple fact that she could become the second female millionaire in America when her parents couldn't read or write should inspire every black person ever. She became wealthy in 1915. Her neighbors was Rockefeller himself. Cj Walker did great things as a leader, one of those incidents, was a time she had put money up, save Fredrick Douglas house from going into foreclosure. She mysteriously died in her prime in 1919, during a time she was making big moves donating to NAACP and putting pressure on the president with letters from her organizations.
Noble drew Ali, is another important figure, that helped shape Black America from the years 1915-1929, Ali would unite blacks with knowledge wisdom and understanding of self. During a time when blacks were finally coming to knowledge of history. The first leader historian of black America. Ali strength was the wisdom that he gave his people for 15 years. He would also die a mysterious death.
The Great migration happen during 1915, when blacks fled the south due to violence and lynchings. Marcus Garvey – in 1916, Garvey had two million Followers, in today's world that's 20 million followers. He had a movement without YouTube, without TV or radio or social media. During Garvey's Harlem Renaissance years Black Americans came to Mexico to escape the land of lynching and legal segregation, and an African American farm commune near Ensenada that was founded in 1917 lasted until 1960.
The NAACP to combat lynching a, they created the " Silent protest of 1917". These Harlem blacks, all 8000 Of them, walked silently during the streets of Harlem, this is what a real protest looked like. The movement for black pride found its cultural expression in the Harlem Renaissance, the first self-conscious, artistic movement in Black American history. During the 1920s, Harlem became the capital of black America, attracting black intellectuals and artists from across the country and the Caribbean.
These are the leadership skills, that created the black American families that exist today. Even with leadership setback in the early 1800's ,after slavery ended black leadership picked up tremendously. The blueprint was needed, for blacks in 2020, to have the family values that we hold today.

SQUIDALICIOUS: Leo Turns Our Car Into an iPad!
Once again, you win "best mom ever" because I cannot handle ipad sounds.. but maybe if it was played over the car stereo instead of the tinny iPad one I would be able to tolerate it? hmm must investigate!
Which van did you get? We are heading into the senior years of our Nissan Quest - feel like it's going to die someday soon. We have loved it, but not sure what to get next.
@Becky, Honda Odyssey. A fine vehicle.


The annual Tulip Festival at Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn, Oregon, happens every year from late March through early May. Woodburn is located south of Portland, Oregon.
This past year we went on opening day. It's not always a good idea to go that early, because not all the tulips have started to bloom. This year it had been warm and we were in the area, so we figured it was worth a shot. Last year I stopped by the day before opening day and there were no tulips.
Check the field report on their website before you drive all the way out there.
There is a $5 per car entry fee. Once you've enter you can roam around the tulip fields for no additional charge. The admission fee also included some games for kids and the kid play areas.
They have vendors selling crafts and food. They also had a zipline, bounce house, and jumping area all for an additional charge.
Out in the tulip fields is a great place to take a family photo or some pictures of your kids.
This game, a duck race, is included in your admission.
My oldest son would be so mad if he knew I had posted this photo. Ha!
Here are two of the areas set up for kids to play. There were at least two other play areas.
Bridgeport Brewery is a family friendly brew pub in Portland, Oregon.
Last week we had dinner there. It's in the Northwest part of the Pearl District. It didn't look like much from the outside of the building, but it was cool inside. They've done a great job with the space.
We were not that impressed with the beer here. We only tried two of them and both were fairly bitter. The food, however, was absolutely fantastic. This was not your typical brew pub food. I will definitely eat here again.
This is what I ordered and it was excellent.
Unfortunately, they do not offer a kids menu. We ordered the kids a pizza to split and it was enough to feed all three of them.
This was the best dish we ordered and I highly recommend it.
I did not try this sandwich, but our friend said it was the best chicken sandwich he had ever had.
Have a custom sign made for their office. Last year I decided to have a custom sign made for my husband for his office. I wasn't sure if he would put it in our home office or take it to work. He took it to work, so I feel like I did good. My husband flies the F-15 and I had an F-15 sticker that was suppose to be a bumper sticker. I sent the sticker to Holly at All My Goodness explained what I wanted and this is what she created. She is amazingly talented and you can find her over at the Etsy shop All My Goodness!
The other gift we gave him was this 8x10 collage. I took the kids to the park and took pictures of them making letters with their bodies. Then I used Shutterfly to create the collage. He took this to the office too!
You really can't go wrong with some sort of electronics gift or accessory for an electronic.
I recently got one of these for my car and absolutely love it. It adjusts for any size phone and rotates sideways. I think it makes a great gift. I went ahead and added this link to the exact one I have, because it is less than what I paid for mine at Marshalls. There are a bunch to choose from on Amazon.
This wristband does all kinds of cool stuff and it's about $50 cheaper then the others on the market. I've been looking into these for a while and after asking a couple of friends wearing similar devices and talking to an electronics guru, I narrowed my choices down to this one. It does everything in one device.
It tracks steps, distance, calories burned and active minutes, and monitors how long and well you sleep! Wakes you (and not your partner) with a silent wake alarm!
This is a sleek travel charger with a usb port. It lets you charge any device that uses a usb port anywhere. My sons gymnastics coach from Florida came to visit and he had one of these. While our phones ran down his was charging up.

Have you ever felt that you just can't win for losing? That no matter what you do, why you do it or when you do it, you fail to come out ahead. Certainly there are many things in life that can get to us, can discourage and even defeat us. But the Bible teaches us that when we believe in Jesus we are victorious. How do we reconcile these two truths? Simple, we read John 16:33. Jesus says "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world." Two truths reconciled. In Jesus we have peace; in the world we will have trouble. The peace we have in Jesus wins out because he has overcome the world. The real trick is learning to live in that truth. To live as if our King and Saviour has already overcome and made us overcomers.
Those who overcome are promised eternity with Jesus in Paradise.
John 1:1-5 Jesus is the light shining in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome him.
In this world of trouble, we sometimes need something to help us "cheer up" to see the bright side, to remind us that we are overcomers.
Jesus' letters to the churches in Revelation 2-3 have promises for us that help us "take heart" when things seem bleak.
Revelation 2:2-4 – Jesus is pleased with the Ephesian church because of their labour, their endurance and their commitment to the truth.
Revelation 2:5-6 – Jesus is displeased because the church has lost its "fine flush of enthusiastic love", for Jesus and for one another.
Revelation 2:7 – Jesus promises the right to eat of the tree of life which is in God's paradise to those who overcome.
We lost the right to eat from the tree when Adam and Even rebelled against God in the Garden of Eden.
Jesus redeemed that right when he lived and died obediently, and he gives that right to us.
Paradise is the place where we will share perfect fellowship and communion with God, where we will once again walk with God in the cool of the evening.
What is Jesus promising here? Life forever in the presence and in the company of our Lord.
Take some time pondering, meditating on this promise. How would God use this to encourage you, to help you "take heart". Is there something claiming victory over you in your life that God wants to free you from? Take some time to ask the Holy Spirit to show you these things.
Spend time with your child talking about paradise, about heaven. Ask them what their picture of heaven is, and what they think it will be like to be there. Their answer may surprise and encourage you!


Auburn Hills, MI – February 21, 2018 – Patti Engineering, a leading control system integration company based in Auburn Hills, Michigan with offices in Texas and Indiana, today announced that Siemens has named the company a MindSphere Gold Partner. The company is the first Hybrid Operational Technology (OT) Partner in the U.S. to expand its existing relationship with the Siemens Digital Factory Division into the new MindSphere Partner Program.
Since 1991, Patti Engineering has worked as a trusted advisor to some of the world's top manufacturers. In addition to being a MindSphere Partner, Patti Engineering is a Siemens Solution Partner certified in Automation, Drives, and was among the first Solution Partners in the U.S. to be certified in Industrial Strength Networks and Industrial Identification. The company has been a Siemens Solution Partner since 2009.
MindSphere is a cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) operating system. It is an open platform with the ability to connect to nearly any machine and to build any app to improve plant operations. The challenge for manufacturers, then, is to know where to start. The MindSphere Partner Program creates an ecosystem of experts to assist manufacturers at every stage of implementation.
Patti Engineering was chosen as a MindSphere Hybrid OT Partner because of the company's expertise working on plant floor OT systems and deep understanding of how the actions on the plant floor need to be monitored at the management level. With all the new technologies available to collect data and monitor and simulate plant operations, Patti Engineering can now use Siemens' MindSphere to help companies seize competitive advantages by customizing solutions to meet their unique business needs.
The new partnership comes shortly after the announcement of the availability of the latest version of MindSphere, which is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the top provider of cloud services worldwide. This allows customers nearly unlimited scale. The new version also includes updates to its application programming interface (API), allowing integration of nearly any type of technology.
"We're very excited to partner with Siemens and our customers to bring solutions that can help profoundly change manufacturing," said Hoff.


Plantar fasciitis – this is basically the most typical cause of pain caused by the redness in the muscle which makes the arch of your feet. The arch encountering fatigue due to injuries or overuse often brings about this condition. Long stretches of standing and exercise can boost signs or symptoms.
Heel spurs – Repaheel pareri are often related to men and women struggling with this condition, even though heel spurs can occur on their own. Heel spurs are standard players as well as folks who suffer from occupations needing a great deal of wandering and standing up for prolonged time periods.
Tarsal tunnel issue – tarsal tunnel issue is due to the larger neurological in the back of the foot they get pinched or impinged. This is comparable to carpal tunnel symptoms from the fingers. Tarsal tunnel syndrome could cause extreme pain within the foot minimizing or perhaps inhibiting mobility.
Tension bone fracture – anxiety fractures are standard within the feet although not within the heel. Pressure fractures on the heel can take place due to intense injuries or overuse. Athletes like great distance athletes are definitely more vunerable to pressure bone injuries than others.
Posterior heel pain – posterior pain within the heel results in pain behind the foot rather than beneath the heel. Posterior pain from the heel is normally brought on by tendinitis in the Achilles tendon or a round of bursitis.

Q: How to detect if I'm connected on the console I would like to find a reliable way to detect if I'm connected on the console before doing network maintenance.
So far I found this :
$ tty | grep /dev/tty
/dev/tty2 # Connected on the console
$ ssh localhost tty | grep /dev/tty
$ # Remotely connected

Is this a reliable way to do it ?

A: Just running tty by itself will tell you whether or not you're connected to a console -- which could be a local virtual console, but it could also be a pseudo-terminal. For example:
ssh -t localhost tty
/dev/pts/9

That -t flag means "allocate a tty", and that is the default behavior for an interactive ssh session.
So you can't just ask "am I connected to a tty or not?", but you can make decision based on the device return by the tty command. Something like:
case "$(tty)" in
  /dev/tty[0-9])
    echo "I am on a local console."
    ;;

  /dev/ttyS[0-9]|/dev/ttyACM[0-9]|/dev/ttyUSB[0-9])
    echo "I am on a serial console."
    ;;

  *)
    echo "I am not on a local console"

Companion of the Order of Australia (2020)
18 September 2013 — 15 September 2015 1 year, 362 days
Tony Abbott became Australia's 28th prime minister in 2013, when the Liberal-National Party coalition won office, replacing the Labor government led by Kevin Rudd.
Photo: Jack Tran/Newspix
Tony Abbott was involved in student politics at university and won a Rhodes scholarship to study at Oxford.
After briefly training to be a Jesuit priest, Abbott worked as a journalist, press secretary to Liberal leader John Hewson, and Executive Director of Australians for a Constitutional Monarchy before being elected to the federal seat of Warringah in NSW at a by-election in 1994.
Serving in the Howard government, Abbott took on several consecutive ministerial roles in employment and workplace relations and was then Minister for Health and Ageing (2003-2007) and Leader of the House (2001-2007). In the years of opposition that followed the Howard government, Abbott moved to shadow ministries relating to families, community services and Indigenous affairs.
When the Liberal Party became seriously divided over the issue of responding to the Rudd government's proposed emissions trading scheme, Abbott emerged successful from a three-way leadership ballot with Malcolm Turnbull and Joe Hockey. He led the Liberal Party to the election in 2010 but was not able to form a government when a hung parliament ensued. In 2013, Abbott led his party to a sweeping election victory.
He held office as prime minister for just under two years, until Malcolm Turnbull successfully challenged to assume leadership of the Liberal Party again.
Operation Sovereign Borders
On 18 September 2013 Operation Sovereign Borders is launched in an election promise to halt unauthorised arrivals and "stop the boats".
Clean Energy Legislation (Carbon Tax Repeal Bill)
A package of legislation is passed on 17 July 2014 to remove the carbon pricing mechanism, and take action against businesses which do not pass on the savings.
National Day of Mourning for MH17 victims
A national memorial service is held on 6 August for the victims of Flight MH17, shot down over Ukraine on 17 July. The passengers included 38 Australians.
G20 Summit in Brisbane
G20 heads of state and government meet in Brisbane on 15-16 November 2014 to discuss issues including global economic recovery and financial reforms.
China-Australia Free Trade Agreement
Australia and China sign a landmark free trade agreement on 17 June to secure better market access, increased two way investment and reduced import costs. The agreement enters into force on 20 December.
White Paper on Northern Australia
The Government releases a White Paper on Developing Northern Australia: Our North, Our Future. The paper outlines a plan to achieve a vision for the north by 2035 with an initial investment of $1.2 billion.
After achieving victory in the 2013 election, the Liberal-National Party coalition held a strong majority in the House of Representatives. The Senate proved a tougher proposition, with a cross bench of eight senators, and the support of at least six of these required for the government to pass legislation.
The Abbott government managed to get its signature carbon tax repeal package through the parliament, but had much more mixed success with its first budget package in 2014, as key elements languished or had to be dropped. The uncertainty about whether the government could get its legislation through the Senate began to take its toll and prompt further scrutiny of the performance of the prime minister and treasurer Joe Hockey.
Following a 'near death experience' leadership challenge in the Liberal party in February 2015, Abbott decided to replace 'father of the house' Phillip Ruddock as Chief Whip, in a move described as a measure to improve communication between the prime minister and the back bench.

Tony Abbott became prime minister promising Australians relief from the political instability of the Rudd-Gillard years. This proved difficult to deliver. All but three of Abbott's shadow ministry made the transition to the Cabinet, and close ally Bronwyn Bishop took up the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives.
What quickly became apparent was that the high degree of control exercised by Abbott as opposition leader was not going to be adapted to the much greater demands of government. Ministers became uncomfortable with the constraints on them and backbenchers looked for more consultation on policy, not the least in relation to Abbott's more controversial and expensive initiatives.
A turning point was the decision by the prime minister in December 2014 to send Trade Minister Andrew Robb to 'chaperone' Foreign Minister Julie Bishop at an international climate change summit in Peru. Less than a year later, Julie Bishop would play her role in the fourth change of Liberal leadership since 2007.
Some of Abbott's most important partnerships in office were with women. While there were few women in the Abbott ministries, women held key positions in the prime minister's own office. The partnership which attracted most attention was his enduring relationship with his Chief of Staff, Peta Credlin, whom he described as 'the fiercest political warrior.'
Credlin had worked very closely with Abbott during the years of opposition and was credited by him for much of the turnaround in his political fortunes from 2007. In government, Credlin took on a broad array of tasks, and their alliance withstood sustained pressure, including from within the government, until Abbott lost the leadership.
When responding to criticism about the reach of Credlin's authority, Abbott expressed: 'I think it is curious… that when a female chief of staff is strong the term "controlling" is used, whereas when a male chief of staff is strong "decisive" is the term used. I think she is doing a terrific job and I'm very proud of my office'.
Throughout his life, Tony Abbott has taken an interest in community service, and he continued to dedicate as much time as possible to such pursuits while prime minister. Around New South Wales, he worked as a volunteer firefighter during the critical bushfire seasons and, in March 2015, received an award for ten years of service to the NSW Rural Fire Service.
Local member Jonathan O'Dea MP congratulated all recipients of the awards, but took a moment to acknowledge the prime minister in particular saying that 'he sets an example, as do all of you [volunteer firefighters], for the rest of Australia.'
In a 2014 interview with journalist Michelle Grattan, Abbott referred to 'the people up at the fire brigade [as] inevitably a bit of an informal network', who, alongside his wife Margie and two daughters, have provided stability and guidance throughout his life.

Look Good in Leather
A St. Louis-bred twosome takes on a horror classic
By Jordan Harper
Puerto Muerto: theatric and cinematic
They don't make movies like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre anymore. The second great film inspired by the antics of serial killer Ed Gein (Psycho was the first), Massacre (along with Night of the Living Dead) brought horror movies back into vogue in the '70s, the genre's popularity having slipped since its '50s heyday. Massacre slaughtered hippies, and Leatherface begat the teen slasher films that bedeviled the '80s. But where Jason and his ilk were mostly interested in body counts, Massacre strived for something beyond violence: For all its chain-saw wounds and people hanging on meat hooks, the movie is mostly a triumph of atmosphere. As creepy as Leatherface was, the Sawyer house -- filled with odd taxidermy, bone chairs and a grandpa who couldn't move but could drink blood -- was the real shocker in the film.
But something was missing from that atmosphere: music. Now that's changed, sort of, thanks to Puerto Muerto. The band, whose anachronistic sound and anarchic tales have inspired the label "punk folk," just completed recording Songs of Muerto County, a "lost" soundtrack to the classic film. Puerto Muerto is made up of former St. Louisans Tim Kelley (guitarist/vocalist) and Christa Meyer (drummer/vocalist). With albums titled Your Bloated Corpse Has Washed Ashore and See You in Hell, it isn't surprising that their take on American tradition is a little creepy.
Clive Solomon, owner of Puerto Muerto's record label, originally asked the duo to re-record the '70s British horror classic The Wicker Man. "But it didn't make any sense," says Kelley, "because we're American, and it's got kind of a Scottish/English/fairies kind of bent. We thought about it and realized that the Texas Chain Saw Massacre didn't have much of a score. The director originally had just added a bunch of percussion to it. So we thought: Why don't we try that?"
The result doesn't sound like one might expect: no screeching strings or ominous rumbles. The songs are gorgeous and spare, including one beautiful waltz-time ballad -- perhaps some of the unlikeliest words to be attached to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. One colleague who listened to the disc said the sound evoked the mood of the old spaghetti westerns, which comes quite close to Puerto Muerto's intent.
"We wanted it to be an album on its own," Kelley says. "We wanted to be able to bring out some of the more romantic aspects of the movie. If you watch some of the cinematography, it's sort of epic, with lots of beautiful landscapes. We wanted to take it away from being thought of as a slasher and bring up some of the aspects that don't get noticed."
The problem with Songs is that is does work as a stand-alone album, so much so that it would be difficult to match the songs to the movie at home. But Kelley hopes to be able to show people how the soundtrack measures up in the future.
"We made a DVD with the music on it," Kelley says. "If we're going to be able to get that to people, that would be great. As it is, you really can't line [the album] up with the movie."
There's another way to hear the music with the film, but it requires crossing the Atlantic. The duo, now living in Chicago, will be hitting English movie theaters later this summer to play their soundtrack as the movie screens above them. "If it goes well in the U.K., we'll probably do it here as well," Kelley promises.
Unfortunately, Leatherface won't be in attendance this Saturday at the Red Sea, where Puerto Muerto is making one of its frequent return visits. And this time there'll be something new for fans in addition to the new songs: a fuller percussion section. "Christa is going to be playing a few more drums than she usually does," Kelley says. "She used to just bang on one, but she's actually got a little kit now."
Speaking of movie soundtracks, this week I got an advance copy of Lou wunderkind Nelly's single from the upcoming remake of The Longest Yard. Nelly also acts in the new film, and early reports give him good reviews. That's a good thing, because "Errtime" is as bad a song as Nelly's ever put out as a single. Maybe it's wrong to expect too much from a movie that replaces Burt Reynolds with Adam Sandler, but "Errtime" is a total toss-off, the kind of midtempo sing-songy track that Nelly can put out in his sleep. The successful but not extraordinary Sweat/Suit albums showed that Nelly has already peaked as a recording artist.
Very, very few hip-hop artists have maintained lifelong careers. For every LL Cool J, there's a dozen Kool Moe Dees. So following Ice Cube into Hollywood is probably a smart move for Nelly. If he can make it in Hollywood, more power to him, but it would be a shame if we started looking at new Nelly releases with the same jaundiced eye that we reserve for new Will Smith records.

Doctor Who: The Sixth Doctor And Peri Volume One
18 August 2020 Sam Maleski Audio 0
❉ One of the most engaging Big Finish sets of the year, writes Sam Maleski.
The Sixth Doctor and Peri – an iconic Classic Who team, but also one that comes with a lot of baggage. Nicola Bryant and Colin Baker brought wonderful talent to their performances, but the onscreen relationship between their characters was marred by quite unhealthy dynamic, with the initial outburst of physical violence in The Twin Dilemma weighing heavy over the rest of their run. Big Finish, ever eager to dig into the gaps offered by the television show, had already started to exploit that dynamic further: first, by hiring Nev Fountain, Bryant's real-life husband, to pen a series of critically-acclaimed, generally fantastic Peri stories (for instance, Peri and the Piscon Paradox, a genuine classic); and then by having an older Peri rejoining the Doctor after the events of Trial of a Time Lord in a 2014 trilogy of monthly stories.
Six years later, in the middle of a process of shifting from monthlies to more concept-driven boxsets, they are returning to that pairing, and this first (and hopefully not last!) outing of the pair in a new format is a real success, showing a truly welcome ambition and drive, and a desire to push the aesthetics of the Classic show into new places, new formats and structures. The individual episodes, as we'll discuss in a moment, are really solid, but what really jumps at you is how strong the dynamic between the characters is. There's a lot of love and affection between the two there, but, especially compared to the Flip and Constance stories that came out this year, there is a notable difference in how Six is written: he's a younger character here, after all, more brash and over-the-top, Colin Baker's joy at chewing the scenery being very adeptly tempered by scripts that are willing to question and undercut his character, and it makes for deeply compelling listening.
David Sibley (Dr Freud), Colin Baker (The Doctor), Nicola Bryant (Peri), Nev Fountain (writer), George Naylor (Dodo) and Raj Ghatak (The Complex).
Unfortunately, the set does start on its weakest episode – unexpectedly, since it is credited to James Parsons and Andrew Stirling-Brown, the writers of LIVE34, wildly considered (rightfully so) to be one of the best Who stories of all time. Certainly, The Headless Ones shows some of the same qualities that shone so bright in their masterpiece – a willingness to tackle difficult political topic, and an uncompromising sense of righteous anger. However, whereas LIVE34 acted as an incredibly relevant take on fascism, this story's metaphors are considerably more muddled. It is at its core a story about white guilt, about the dark side of British imperialism, but, as the title and cover showcase, it is rooted in images that were initially used as caricatures of blackness. The burden of historical exploitation and violence is displaced from actual black people (who make all in all only a minimal appearance in the story) to a bunch of aliens that just happen to exhibit traits colonizers wrongfully attributed to native populations. Certainly, the story has got its heart in the right place, and the satire surrounding the villain of the piece, lord Erpingham (exquisitely performed by Hugh Skinner) hits hard and satisfyingly – but it's not quite precise and sharp enough to justify how loaded its imagery ends up being, especially when the Doctor himself splits the difference between "exploration" and "exploitation" of Africa, ignoring how the two often overlapped. The framing device, which hampers the general pace of things despite being a fun bit of literary pastiche, and a large helping of stock feminist beats, don't really help it to shine either. It has commendable ambition, but maybe doesn't quite manage to match it in execution.
While similarly political, Jac Rayner's Like feels much deeper – it might certainly frustrate the kind of Who fans who crave revolution-driven stories, given how it approaches a much more "this is how the world is, how can we best deal with it" approach, a la Kerblam!. But it does it with gusto, examining the mechanics of a world entirely driven by social media with a fair amount of nuance and enjoyably layered worldbuilding, and with laugh-out-loud funny humour. There's an undeniable thrill in seeing the Sixth Doctor and Peri wondering through this very Russell T Davies-era techno-satire, and the constant shifts in tone and format, leading up to a wonderfully clever resolution, keep the experience as fresh as it is entertainingly challenging.
The third episode comes from relative newcomer Stuart Manning, who proves with The Vanity Trap that he's at least as good a writer as he is an artist, delivering what's easily the highlight of the set. It grabs the aesthetics of the classic "fallen star" Hollywood narrative, all Sunset Boulevard, and gives it a uniquely Who twist, sending the Doctor and Peri on the cursed shoot of the last movie of a forgotten actress. It's a great script, that hands all of its character meaty and complex material – Myrna Kendal, the aforementioned star, is a staggeringly rich character, backed by Deirdre Mullins delivering one of the most memorable performances in recent Big Finish history: vulnerable and touching one moment, deeply unlikeable the next. The Doctor very much finds a kindred spirit in her, and the story's not afraid to dig in the darker sides of both their characters, and the toll it can have on their friends and families, resulting in a wonderfully inventive, and deeply emotional resolution. And on top of that, it throws you dozens of witty zingers, time-travelling elephants, and devilishly smart timey-wimey shenanigans. It's a gem, it really is.
Nicola Bryant (Peri Brown) and Colin Baker (The Doctor).
Nev Fountain continues his long line of Peri character pieces with the finale to the set, Conflict Theory. As per usual, he's attempting something incredibly weird and ambitious: here, to drive the relationship between the leads to a breaking point, as in some kind of Classic Who pastiche of Hell Bent. And when the story actually sits down and commits to the bit, it is stellar. There is a lot of problematic history surrounding Six and Peri, and it is a very welcome breath of fresh air to see writers trying to directly address it and exorcise it: the scenes of conflict are superb, the dialogue between the main characters and their therapists (Sigmund Freud robot doubles, because of course), initially witty and hilarious, soon fading into very compelling theoretical dissections of the show's past history, that feel genuinely quite illuminating.
There are ample reasons for why that level of raw, difficult self-introspection doesn't persist through the story, of course, although it is nevertheless a bit disappointing. It certainly helps that the third act is still very good, even though it's very good in a completely different way, with a shift towards action comedy (coupled with some very dirty jokes, which is always fun). The wit and glibness of the story end up undercutting its emotional core rather than reinforcing it – but it's still got plenty of wit and emotion, and, much like every single Fountain story, Conflict Theory remains a fascinatingly ambitious piece of high-concept, experimental Who.
The Sixth Doctor and Peri, in the end, proves itself to be one of the denser and most engaging Big Finish sets of the year. There is a lot of coherence between the stories, a desire to engage with complex personal and political topics, and that, coupled with the chemistry between Bryant and Baker, feel like a powerful foundational act for a range: there's a lot of gold here already, and probably even more just waiting to be dug.

'Trigger warnings': What are they and why do colleges want them?
By Howard Portnoy May 20, 2014 May 20, 2014
Warning: This literary work is rated R for strong sexual content, language, nudity, drug use, and violence throughout. Which work? Who cares? Campuses across the country are "wrestling with student requests for what are known as 'trigger warnings,'" the New York Times reports. These are "explicit alerts that the material they [students] are about to read or see in a classroom might upset them or, as some students assert, cause symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in victims of rape or in war veterans":
The warnings, which have their ideological roots in feminist thought, have gained the most traction at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where the student government formally called for them. But there have been similar requests from students at Oberlin College, Rutgers University, the University of Michigan, George Washington University and other schools.
In short, there is something offensive for everyone. For Jews, there is "The Merchant of Venice." For blacks, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and — more pointedly — Joseph Conrad's "The Nigger African American of the 'Narcissus'."
The Times notes that a draft guide was circulated at Oberlin that would ask professors to put trigger warnings in their syllabuses, flagging anything that might conceivably "disrupt a student's learning" and "cause trauma." What kinds of things?
Be aware of racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, cissexism, ableism, and other issues of privilege and oppression. Realize that all forms of violence are traumatic, and that your students have lives before and outside your classroom, experiences you may not expect or understand.
"Cissexism," James Taranto notes, "refers to prejudice in favor of men and women who identify themselves, respectively, as men and women."
Taranto also observes interestingly:
At first glance this looks like just the latest politically correct excess, but it's distinct in some ways. For one, the faculty is resisting: "The debate has left many academics fuming, saying that professors should be trusted to use common sense and that being provocative is part of their mandate." Lisa Hajjar, a sociology professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, tells the paper: "Any kind of blanket trigger policy is inimical to academic freedom…. The presumption … that students should not be forced to deal with something that makes them uncomfortable is absurd or even dangerous."
In other words, students should not be shielded from life's occasional unpleasantness, nor should they enter college with the expectation that they will be. Dealing with hatred and ignorance in its many guises should be one of life's lesson, along with learning to suffer fools. Students who take courses with Lisa Hajjar (aka, the jihdanik professor) get a sampling of both. According to CampusWatch, "Hajjar has made an entire academic career out of bashing the United States and Israel for their supposed use of 'torture' against Arabs" and has denounced "the occupation" by imperialists "of Palestine, Afghanistan and all other colonized areas."

Equity markets treaded water on both sides of the border in the first quarter of 2015. The S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index was up 2.6% during the quarter while the S&P 500 Total Return Index was up 1.0% in local currency. The US benchmark was up 10.1% in Canadian dollars, however, as the Canadian dollar weakened 9.2% against the US dollar following the Bank of Canada's somewhat surprising interest rate cut in February amid fears of weakening economic conditions.
US dollar strength was a key theme globally as well. The trade-weighted US Dollar Index (DXY) rose 9% during the quarter and is up a staggering 23% year-over-year. Quantitative easing in Europe, surprise interest rate cuts in Canada and Australia and continued easing in Japan have all contributed to US dollar strength, and come at a time where the US Federal Reserve is considering the notion of raising interest rates for the first time since 2007. Headline commodity prices, which are priced in US dollars, have been hit hard, however, the impact is muted for both producers and consumers depending on the translation back to their local currency. As you can see in the chart below, the US Dollar Index seems to have peaked in late March. Obviously much of the strength in the US dollar of late has been in anticipation of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates, and we wonder if the actual event will live up to the hype. Most market participants have pushed the timetable for a rate increase out to September, despite the economy nearing full employment. Additionally, the US Federal Reserve has only increased interest rates once when inflation has been below the 2% level, in 1987. We would express caution on US equities at current valuations due to potential interest rate increases, which can be negative for equity values. S&P 500 earnings growth will continue to be challenged by the strong US dollar, especially given weakening exports and the significant amount of earnings abroad that must be translated back to the home currency. The past few years have been characterized by a rising US dollar and rising US equity markets. We will be watching closely to see if the reaction to the actual Federal Reserve interest rate increases (if any) lives up to the speculation.

My classes do not train therapists in the IFS model. They are intended for personal use. They teach people to use IFS as a personal practice for self-help and peer counseling with other class members.
The Center for Self Leadership offers professional trainings in IFS for therapists and other mental health professionals in many cities around the country and in Europe. I highly recommend them. See www.selfleadership.org for more information or to enroll.

Der Symmes Creek ist ein 113 km langer rechter Nebenfluss des Ohio River im südlichen US-Bundesstaat Ohio. Er entwässert ein Gebiet von 925 km² und gehört zum Flusssystem des Mississippi River. Der Abfluss erfolgt über den Ohio River und Mississippi River in den Golf von Mexiko.

Der Symmes Creek entspringt rund 2 Kilometer nordwestlich der Ortschaft Winchester im Jackson County. Danach fließt er in generell südlicher Richtung durch den Wayne National Forest und die Countys Jackson, Gallia und Lawrence und mündet innerhalb der Gemeinde Chesapeake gegenüber der Stadt Huntington in den Ohio River. Seine wichtigsten Nebenflüsse sind der 29 km lange Sand Fork Symmes Creek und der 27 km lange Black Fork Symmes Creek. Der United States Board on Geographic Names bestimmte 1902 den Namen des Flusses mit Symmes Creek. Im Verlauf seiner Geschichte hieß er auch Simms, Big Creek und Symms Creek.

El Dusty Signs Global Publishing Deal With Spirit Music Latino
New York, NY (July 19, 2017) – Latin GRAMMY® nominated music producer, DJ, and nu-Cumbia pioneer, El Dusty, has signed an exclusive worldwide publishing deal with the newly-formed division of Spirit Music Group – Spirit Music Latino. Raised and rooted in Corpus Christi, the Texas music producer, DJ, and nu-Cumbia pioneer El Dusty is at the forefront of a sound he calls "the nu-Cumbia," updating a genre that dates back centuries by adding EDM synths, Trap sounds and a digging-in-the-crates approach to samples. The deal was announced today by Spirit Music Latino executives Jamar Chess and Juan Carlos Barguil and Spirit Music Group Chairman & CEO, David Renzer.
"I'm very excited to be working with Spirit Latino. It's great to have people on my team that really see my vision and understand my goals," said El Dusty. "I've been fans of their catalog [Discos Fuentes/Sunflower Entertainment] for years and have sampled their vintage Cumbia on recent singles. Jamar and I have a fantastic working relationship. He has been collaborating with me on my forthcoming full-length album."
"Dusty originally came to me for a sample clearance of one of our classic Cumbia's from Colombia, which Dusty turned into the Grammy nominated 'Cumbia Anthem,'" said Jamar Chess. "We immediately connected and knew our relationship would grow. We couldn't be more excited to help expand his opportunities as a songwriter, producer and artist across the world. Dusty invented a genre, period."
El Dusty was nominated for a Latin GRAMMY in 2016 in the Best Urban Fusion/Performance category with his track "Cumbia Anthem" featuring Happy Colors. Dusty dropped the video for his newest single "Kanto Negro (feat. Jah Fabio)" last month, with the visual for the track filmed during the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Mexico City in February. His recent singles include collaborations from 3Ball MTY, Erick Rincon, Toy Selectah and Camilo Lara (Mexican Institute of Sound). He has been featured in RollingStone's "10 New Artists You Need to Know" and in Billboard's "5 New Latin Acts to Watch." El Dusty is signed to Universal Music Latin Entertainment's EDM label, AfterCluv.
El Dusty has performed at premier festivals including EDC Las Vegas, EDC Mexico, Puerto Rico's Ciudad Sonido Festival, Corpus Christi's Fiesta De La Flor, Universal's Latin GRAMMY Showcase, Brisk Bodega Tour, and the Mad Decent Block Party. This summer he will play select dates on both national and international stages.
In April of 2016, David Renzer, Chairman, Spirit Music Group announced the company's partnership with the successful Latin music label and publisher Sunflower Entertainment Group to launch Spirit Music Latino, a division of Spirit Music Group dedicated to Latin songwriters, artists and catalogs. Through the partnership, Spirit has leveraged the wide network of relationships that Sunflower's founders Jamar Chess (a third-generation music exec, hailing from the Chess Records family) and Juan Carlos Barguil (a native Columbian) have established throughout their careers in Latin music, as well as the company's extensive publishing catalog to build Spirit Music Latino into a diverse, multi-faceted Latin music publishing operation.
Under the leadership of Barguil and Chess, Sunflower Entertainment successfully introduced independent and classic Latin recordings to a mainstream audience, widening the reach of the prominent artists and legendary catalogs that it represents. Recently, Sunflower has supplied a selection of classic Colombian songs for the soundtrack of Netflix's Original Series Narcos as well as facilitated a first-of-its-kind collaboration between New York Mets pitcher Jeurys Familia and Dominican bachata artist Zacarias Ferreira to a create a custom walkout song.
The deal with Sunflower to form Spirit Music Latino positioned the newly-formed division to make an instant impact in the Latin music publishing market hitting the ground with key Latino writers, artists and catalogs, as well as master recordings, such as El Alfa, Vakero, Discos Fuentes, Zacarias Ferreira, Los Daddys, Mozart La Para and Codiscos. Chess and Barguil, with their significant relationships in the Latin market will look to identify additional writers, catalogs and artists to join the new Latin division. As part of the deal, Chess and Barguil joined Spirit Music Latino in the company's New York-based office, and Spirit also administers their various catalogs globally. The division is aggressively looking for catalog acquisitions in the various Latin genres.
