BEYONCE RELEASE REMIX OF "MI GENTE" FOR HURRICANE MARIA RELIEF EFFORT


World stop! 
Beyoncéjust dropped her first single and music video since giving birth in June, a remix to J Balvinand Willy William's smash hit "Mi Gente."
She announced that proceeds from the track would benefit the ongoing relief efforts in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Islands following Hurricane Maria, as well as the areas in Mexico impacted by the 7.1 earthquake that killed more than 325 people on September 19.
"I am donating my proceeds from this song to hurricane relief charities for Puerto Rico, Mexico and the other affected Caribbean islands," she wrote on social media with a linkto additional outreach efforts around the world. 
This isn't the first time Queen Bey has released a Spanish-language song. In 2016, the world-famous songstress made headlines for her flawless cover of "Irreplaceable" belted out in Spanish. 
In the fun-filled visual, Cristiano Ronaldo and his kids, Diplo, Steve Aoki and others. It also appears as if Blue Ivy Carter even makes a cameo! At one point her famous mama sings, "Azul, are you with me?" to which an autotuned voice responds, "Oh, yes I am!" 

 And just hours ago, Jay-Z's streaming service Tidal announced its own initiative to bring much-needed supplies to Puerto Rico. Leaving Oct. 7, a cargo plane will carry 200,000 pounds of batteries, flashlights, portable lanterns, diapers, baby wipes, cases of water and feminine hygiene products to Puerto Rico. 
Tidal also asked their users to step up and donate unopened supplies to  19 locations in New York for future deliveries. 
Additionally, Tidal will host a benefit concert on Oct. 17 to raise funds for those hit hardest by Hurricane Maria, Hurricane Harvey and the earthquake. Performers slated to take the stage include Jay-Z, Fat Joe, Jennifer Lopez, DJ Khaled, Chris Brown, Cardi B, Remy Ma, Daddy Yankee, Yo Gotti, Fifth Harmony, Iggy Azalea and Willow Smith.
Most of the 3.4 million people who live on the Caribbean island and U.S. territory have been without electricity and thousands have been rendered homeless due to the storm. Residents are also in dire need of drinking water, food and fuel. Cell service is scarce and hospitals struggle to operate.
Listen to Bey's new song and get to making a difference!

PARENTS OCCUPY CATALAN SCHOOLS AHEAD OF POLL

The Latest on Catalonia's plans to hold a referendum Sunday on breaking away from Spain (all times local) 8 p.m. Ruben Satinya wasn't sure he would vote in favor of independence for Catalonia in Sunday's disputed referendum, but the Spanish government's effort to prevent the poll from taking place has convinced him to vote in favor of a break with Spain.

He says "I am Catalan, but my fight is for social and civil rights, and that is what this about." He adds "I believe in the basic right of self-determination." ——— 6:00 p.m. A grassroots group tha...
