City of Houston Endorses “Baby Day 2022” To Provide Free Early Childhood Education Resources

0

 

HOUSTON – Today, the City of Houston announced a partnership with statewide nonprofit First3Years by endorsing their upcoming virtual event, Baby Day, and formally proclaiming February 12, 2022 as Baby Day in Houston. The fourth annual celebration will be a week-long event from February 6 – 12, 2022 designed to connect parents and caregivers to critical early learning resources and experiences that will ultimately impact the lives and futures of Texan children ages zero to three. This announcement comes only a day after the City of Houston announced three new 10-year lease agreements between several partners and Bezos Academy to open four tuition-free, Montessori-inspired preschools in the Houston area beginning in fall 2022.

“Houston is proud to be a city keenly focused on the healthy development of infants and toddlers. By supporting the education and growth of our youngest residents through equal access to quality resources, we are furthering the future of our entire community,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “Early childhood education greatly impacts the trajectory of a child’s future. Baby Day is providing the next generation of Texan leaders with the tools to succeed, making Houston an even stronger city. I support this endeavor by encouraging my constituents to utilize and promote Baby Day with their colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones. It is up to us to come together as a community to champion the growth of our future leaders.”

City of Houston is working to make Houston the first UNICEF-designated Child-Friendly City in the U.S. While there are multiple components to this, none is more critical than early childhood education and development. As a result, the City of Houston will champion and endorse Baby Day 2022 to ensure children across Houston receive the education and enrichment needed to grow and flourish. New to Baby Day’s programming this year, professional caregivers can also earn free continuing education units to ensure local caregivers are supported in their professional endeavors.

Baby Day is offering its free programming online with a full week of educational activities planned for children, parents, professional caregivers, and family members across the state and beyond. Registration is free and activities will be hosted by more than 110 Texas-based organizations, with many activities hosted by Houston-based organizations specifically. Live and on-demand baby and toddler events include music, art, yoga, reading, dance, educational sessions, continuing education opportunities for professional caregivers, and more, all designed to support the healthy development of infants and toddlers. Baby Day activities will be live streamed and on-demand and will be part of Baby Day’s online library of content that can be accessed year-round.

Governor Abbott Gives Update On Texas’ Response To Winter Weather Across The State

0

Governor Greg Abbott today provided an update on Texas’ response to winter weather that is currently impacting the state. During the press conference, the Governor reported that 27 state agencies are responding to the impact of the storm to ensure Texans have the support and resources they need to stay safe. Importantly, the Governor noted that the Texas power grid is fully functioning and continues to be reliable.

“The State of Texas has deployed a plethora of resources to ensure our communities have the support they need to respond to this storm,” said Governor Abbott. “Texas is experiencing one of the most significant ice events in decades, but we have taken unprecedented steps to ensure that our power grid continues to function reliably despite treacherous weather conditions. As we continue to face freezing temperatures, precipitation, and other dangerous elements, I urge Texans to be prepared and heed the guidance of their local officials as we all work together to keep people safe.”

While precipitation, including freezing rain, snow, and sleet, will begin to dissipate over the next day, lingering impacts of the cold weather such as dangerous wind chill will continue to be felt throughout the state into the weekend. Travel continues to be discouraged due to icy conditions on roadways. The Texas Department of Transportation has transitioned from pre-treatment of roads into clearing and de-icing. Texans are encouraged to monitor road conditions at drivetexas.org. Stranded motorists can call 1-800-525-5555 for assistance from the Texas Department of Public Safety.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas noted that the power grid is not experiencing any issues and it continues to be reliable thanks to successful winterization efforts and other proactive strategies taken by the state. The Governor noted that there is plenty of power available, and even at expected peak demand there should still be over 10,000 MWs of extra power capacity—enough extra power to supply about two million homes. The Railroad Commission of Texas has suspended all scheduled maintenance of natural gas resources out of an abundance of caution, and all pipelines are fully functioning.

The State of Texas has received reports of localized power outages due to the elements including ice and heavy winds. Power providers are currently working to address outages by providing additional resources. More than 10,000 linemen are already on the ground to assist with power issues and almost 2,000 more linemen are being deployed from outside of the state. Governor Abbott has issued a disaster declaration for 17 counties most affected by the icy conditions. This includes waiving regulations to ensure these additional linemen can more rapidly make repairs to power lines.

Texans are encouraged to call their local power provider to address local outages. Texans can also access power line safety reports and contact their power provider at puc.texas.gov/storm.

During the press conference, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality encouraged Texans to closely follow information from their water provider and be prepared to take action in the event of a water line break. If Texans experience a pipe burst on their property, they are urged to turn the water off on their street and report it to their water provider immediately. Texans can visit www.tceq.texas.gov for information on how to turn water off in the event of a line break.

The Texas Division of Emergency Management reported that mass care teams continue to support local communities. There are 185 warming centers open across the state, with 156 on standby. For more information, Texans can visit TDEM’s webpage dedicated to winter storm resources.

Repleta de canciones originales de Jennifer Lopez y la estrella mundial de la música
latina Maluma, Marry Me llegará el próximo Día de San Valentín. En la película, López
interpreta a la superestrella de la música Kat Valdez y Owen Wilson a Charlie Gilbert, un
profesor de matemáticas: dos completos extraños que acuerdan casarse y luego llegan a
conocerse. Un romance inesperado entre dos personas diferentes que buscan algo real
en un mundo donde el valor se basa en los me gusta y los seguidores, Marry Me es una
historia de amor moderna sobre la fama, el matrimonio y las redes sociales.
Kat Valdez (López) es la mitad de la pareja de celebridades más poderosa y sexy del
mundo junto a la nueva estrella de la música Bastian (Maluma, que hace su debut en el
cine). Mientras la exitosa e ineludible canción de Kat y Bastian “Marry Me” (Cásate
conmigo) sube a la cima de las listas, la pareja está a punto de casarse frente a un
público compuesto por sus fans en una ceremonia que será transmitida en múltiples
plataformas.
El profesor de matemáticas divorciado Charlie Gilbert (Owen Wilson) se vio arrastrado al
concierto por su hija Lou (Chloe Coleman, Big Little Lies de HBO) y su mejor amiga
(Sarah Silverman). Cuando Kat se entera, segundos antes de la ceremonia, que Bastian
la engañó con su asistente, su vida da un giro impensado cuando tiene un colapso en el
escenario, cuestionándose todo sobre el amor, la verdad y la fidelidad. Mientras su
mundo de apariencias se derrumba, cruza la mirada con un extraño, un rostro en la
multitud.
Si lo que conoces te desilusiona, entonces tal vez lo que no conoces es la respuesta y, de
ese modo, en un instante de locura inspirada, Kat decide casarse con Charlie. Lo que
empieza con una reacción impulsiva se transforma en un romance inesperado. Pero
cuando distintas circunstancias conspiran para separarlos, surge la pregunta universal:
¿pueden dos personas de mundos tan distintos cerrar el abismo que los separa y
construir un lugar donde ambos pertenezcan?

Ábranse que llevo lumbre
Ose quitan o los quito
Ya saben que yo no juego
Tengo fama de maldito
Posi no saben yo soy
El papa de los pollitos
La plaza me pertenece
Mientras viva yo decido
El que se meta se muere
Sino se arregla con migo
Yo no respeto niveles
Menos mi cuerno de chivo
Ya saben que soy el jefe
Y que conmigo no pueden
Mas vale que me respeten
Por que son bravos mis plebes
Con una clave se activa
Eso si pecan de crueles
Sigo reclutando gente
Mi negocio lo amerita
El estado sinualense
Es el que mas participa
Jalisco y tierra caliente nayarit y tamaulipas
Tengo los nervios de acero
Es herencia de familia
A nada le tengo miedo
Me crie al estilo sicilia
Por eso en cual quier terreno
Mi cartel subo pa’rriba
Ya saben que soy el jefe
Y que no soy tan mansito
Mas bale que me respeten
Por que los traigo cortitos
Y les recuerdo que soy
El papa de los pollitos
