• Dance Music & Doctors Without Borders Team Up Through Zenter Music for Massive Prize Giveaway

    A new company, Zenter Music, which launched in November 2014, acts as conduit for the dance music community to the charitable space by being an events company, promoter and record label, while also connecting with large charities and donating funds to that cause. Each month, Zenter chooses one charitable organization to donate 50% of its earnings to and in January, it chose French medicinal organization, Medicines Sans Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders). It has also teamed up with some large labels and DJs to include a large prize giveaway to those who donate to the organization.

  • Ebola Fighters 'Time's' 'Person of the Year'

    Just yesterday we were wondering if "Time" magazine would make sense out of its unusual short list of contenders for its 2014 Person of the Year, and thankfully its end game is rooted in logic. For a second there it looked like Vladimir Putin, with his ill-prepared Sochi Olympic Games and war with Ukraine actually had a chance at the title. Thankfully, "Time" announced this morning that the Ebola fighters have been named the 2014 Person of the Year. Since late August, the U.S. has panicked as some of our own stricken caregivers, such as Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly in Liberia, have been transported back home to the States, where their hopes of survival are better. Nurses like Nina Pham and Amber Vinson were not properly trained to care for Ebola patients and ended up with the illness themselves. Adding insult to injury, the CDC went so far as to try to blame them for getting sick. The irony is that each caregiver has thought nothing of going back to work after their own recovery. When asked if they would care for another Ebola patient, the response has immediately been yes.
