Grupo Firme – Ya Supérame

0
¿Qué parte no entiendes
Cuando te digo que no?
¿La N o la O?
Tu tiempo se acabó
Te juro que ya no te quiero ver
Si de todos lados ya te bloqueé
No sé cómo sigues pensando
Que me tienes a tus pies
¡Ya, supérame!
Porque yo ya te olvidé
Ando tan feliz sin ti
Deberías hacerlo tú también
Esta historia se borró
Y no pienso escribirla otra vez
¡Ya, supérame!
Y deja de hablar mal de mí
Tienes que saber perder
Igualito que sabes mentir
Ya cambié de corazón
Y tú no vuelves a entrar aquí
¡Ya, supérame!
Que no te arda estar sin mí
¡Ya, supérame!
Porque yo ya te olvidé
Ando tan feliz sin ti
Deberías hacerlo tú también
Esta historia se borró
Y no pienso escribirla otra vez
¡Ya, supérame!
Y deja de hablar mal de mí
Tienes que saber perder
Igualito que sabes mentir
Ya cambié de corazón
Y tú no vuelves a entrar aquí
¡Ya, supérame!
Que no te arda estar sin mí

Grupo Firme ft. Maluma – Cada Quien

0
Dejen de meterse ya, donde no les importa
Piénsenla dos veces antes de ir a abrir la boca
Cada quien que haga no más lo que le toca
Y menos broncas
Miro cómo hablan mal hasta de su familia
Y no me imagino lo que dicen de la mía
Pero a mí se me resbala lo que digan de mi vida
Y si tomo casi toda la semana
Y si diario me quiero jalar la banda
Cada quien
Cada quien
Que si me gasto el dinero en cosas caras
Si me voy de vacaciones para Italia
¡Cada quien
No se enrede en cada quien
Si les cala, no más no volteen a ver
Y si otra vez me quiero amanecer
Cada quien
¡Ay, ‘apacito!
Apriete que nos pelaron, mijo
Y cada quien haga con su vida lo que quiera
¿O no, Maluma?
Ay apá
¡Y puro Grupo Firme!
Más firme que nunca
¿Para qué preguntan cuánto gano y cuánto tengo?
Nada más me quieren andar contando el dinero
Cada quien trabaja pa no estar pidiendo
De lo ajeno
Pierden nada más el tiempo cuando me critican
Quieren verme abajo y a subir más me motivan
Cada quien se tiene que poner bien pilas,
Sin envidia
Y si tomo casi toda la semana
Y si diario me quiero jalar la banda
Cada quien
Cada quien
Que si me gasto el dinero en cosas caras
Si me voy de vacaciones para Italia
Cada quien
No se enrede en cada quien
Si la escala nomás no volteen a ver
Y si otra vez me quiero amanecer
Cada quien

¡Ojo!
Te van a criticar por todo
Por lo que eres, lo que no eres
Por lo que haces y que les duele
Por lo que dices y lo que tienes
No es que lo quieran
Es que no quieren que tú lo tengas
Así es la envidia
Y entre la gente, siempre gobierna

Pocos
Apucharon esta carretita
Son los que ahorita lo necesitan
Pedirme un paro y los que faltaron
Nomás llegan y estiran la mano
Después de un no, se hacen indignados
Se hacen pendejos
Nomás lo dejo que el karma
Les recuerde el pasado

Mucho
Nos ha costado cada victoria
Pero antes de saborear la gloria
Todo fue distinto a lo de ahora
Cada tropiezo marcó una historia
Pisé con fuerza, y a paso firme
Mantengo el barco
Quería ser alguien en esta vida
Y no otro de tantos

Nunca
Fue necesario cobrar venganza
La vida sola fue la balanza
Dentro de mí, yo tenía esperanzas
De que a todos nos llega el momento
Y no les miento, pa’ ser honesto
Siempre ni modo
Fue tener fe de que iba a crecer
A pesar de todo

$3.3M scheme: Woman arrested for running ‘illegal’ business claiming to fix customer’s credit issues, Pct. 4 says

0

A Humble woman has been arrested for her alleged involvement in a $3,300,000 finance scheme conducted through her credit repair business, Harris County Precinct 4 officials said.

According to Constable Mark Herman, deputies conducted a raid at Rose Credit Repair in the 15300 block of John F. Kennedy Boulevard near Bush Intercontinental Airport in north Harris County over the weekend.

Court documents state the business’s owner, 29-year-old Roekeicha Lashay Brisby, was involved in the scheme which began around Nov. 2020 and lasted until March 2022.

Herman said she was arrested on Friday without incident.

The record states Brisby used “fifty or more items of identifying information,” mainly the names, dates of birth, social security numbers, and IDs, of the victims involved.

Documents also state Brisby filed around 133 false reports that made it appear it came from Precinct 4 Constable’s Office about the loss or theft of credit cards while seeking to erase about $1,400,000 in client debt on behalf of 74 people.

After a lengthy investigation inside of the business, deputies found information indicating that Brisby’s business “would fix people’s credit through illegal means.”

Photos taken by investigators show a banner from Rose Credit Repair that claims to help customers “raise their credit score by 50-100 points,” and “use the Law to remove common errors” such as late payments, bankruptcies, and settlements.

The business also claimed that customers would see results “in 35 days or less.”

Brisby has been charged with felony Forgery of a Government instrument in this case. Her first court date was for Monday, July 11.

“One of these institutions actually came to us, and that’s how we got involved,” he said. “Once we started looking at the case reports, we noticed that the case numbers would not match our current system.”

Some of the employees Brisby had previously worked with are also expected to be charged, according to Herman.

Both the Harris County District Attorney’s Office and the FBI are working with Precinct 4 on the investigation.

Herman added that additional charges for Brisby may be forthcoming.

Authorities are asking anyone who has done business with the suspect to come forward and contact Pct. 4.

Back in 2019, Brisby was arrested and charged with injury to a child after authorities say she and her boyfriend placed her then 7-year-old son in a scalding hot shower after the child reportedly misbehaved at school.

Her boyfriend at the time, Mark Terrell, was accused of forcing the child to stand in a shower as he sprayed him with the hot water, resulting in burns on his head, face, neck, and chest.

She was able to post a $125,000 bond and is expected back in court for that charge on Oct. 3, 2022.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice joins incoming Denver Broncos ownership group

0

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is joining the new Denver Broncos ownership group, the NFL team announced Monday.

Rice said it was an honor to join the ownership group.
“Football has been an integral part of my life since the moment it was introduced to me, and I am thrilled to be a part of the Broncos organization today.” Rice, the daughter of a football coach, said on Facebook.
Walmart heir Rob Walton called her a highly respected public servant and an accomplished academic and business leader.
“Secretary Rice is well known as a passionate and knowledgeable football fan who has worked to make the sport stronger and better,” Walton said in a statement on behalf of the Walton-Penner family group that has offered to buy the team.
“She moved to Denver with her family when she was 12 years old and went on to attend the University of Denver for both college and graduate school. Her unique experience and extraordinary judgment will be a great benefit to our group and the Broncos organization.”
Last month, the Broncos and the Walton-Penner family entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire the team from the Pat Bowlen Trust. The agreement is subject to approval from the NFL’s finance committee and league ownership.
According to ESPN, the deal is expected to be worth $4.65 billion — a record price tag for a North American sports franchise.
Rice was the national security adviser in the George W. Bush Administration from January 2001 until January 2005, when she became Secretary of State, a position she held until January 2009.
Rice’s name has been linked to football groups before.
In 2018, ESPN reported, citing a league source, that the Cleveland Browns wanted to interview Rice for the head coaching position.
“I love my Browns — and I know they will hire an experienced coach to take us to the next level,” she said on social media. “On a more serious note, I do hope that the NFL will start to bring women into the coaching profession as position coaches and eventually coordinators and head coaches. One doesn’t have to play the game to understand it and motivate players.”
The Browns also denied the report and eventually hired Freddie Kitchens.
In the early 2000s, Rice told the New York Times and several other media outlets her dream job was to be NFL commissioner. She was also on the College Football Playoff Selection Committee for three years beginning with the first group in 2014.
Rice already has a sports ownership stake. Earlier this year, she joined a group of equity partners in the WNBA.
Rice lives in California, where she is the director of the Hoover Institute, a public policy think tank, at Stanford University.

COVID-19 Reinfections May Increase the Risk of Serious Health Problems

Scientists aren’t sure if there’s a cumulative effect on your health from repeated COVID-19 infections.

However, what does seem clear is that every reinfection carries the risk of serious illness, death, or long-term disability.

Reinfection “adds non-trivial risks of all-cause mortality, hospitalization, and adverse health outcomes in the acute and post-acute phase of the reinfection,” according to a new pre-print study from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine and the VA Saint Louis Health Care System in Missouri.

Researchers reviewed millions of healthcare records from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

The preliminary study included data on more than 250,000 veterans who had one COVID-19 infection, nearly 39,000 people who had one or more reinfection, and more than 5 million people in a control group.

“The risk and [disease] burden increased in a graded fashion according to the number of infections,” wrote the authors of the study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed or published in a medical journal.

The researchers reported that the probability of negative health outcomes due to reinfection rose regardless of vaccination status and included both the acute phase of the reinfection and long-term health issues occurring after acute symptoms such as fever and shortness of breath abated.

“What’s really eye-opening is the long-term manifestation of this disease. Most people bounce back but not everyone,” said Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, a study author and an assistant professor of medicine at Washington University School of Medicine as well as director of the Clinical Epidemiology Center and chief of research and education service at the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care System.

“We were asking a simple question: Does reinfection matter?” Al-Aly told Healthline. “We were not comparing first and [subsequent] infections, but asking whether it’s worth it to protect yourself against a second infection.”

The answer, said Al-Aly, is that “every time you’re infected, you’re rolling the dice.”

“You may have been vaccinated or had a previous infection, but that doesn’t eliminate your risk,” he said, noting that the risk of serious illness from reinfection with COVID-19 ranged from about 3% to 5% of all cases.

“It’s still wise and responsible to try to protect yourself from reinfection,” he said.

Time can also be a factor.

“As you get further from your vaccination, boosters, and previous infections, the risk of reinfection increases significantly,” Dr. Luis Ostrosky, an infectious disease specialist at UT Health Houston’s Memorial Hermann Hospital in Texas, told Healthline.

Al-Aly acknowledged the limitations of the study. They included the fact the VA population is older, whiter, more male, and in worse overall health than the general population.

However, he noted, the sheer number of people included in the study meant that significant populations of women, minorities, and younger people were included in the analysis. Future research will focus on whether the same findings apply to these subpopulations.

Looking toward the future

Past studies have indicated that COVID-19 reinfection rates were low among the earliest variants of the disease but rose when the highly contagious Omicron variant spread around the world in late 2021 and early 2022.

Researchers say that the latest COVID-19 variants, such as Omicron B.A.5, are even better at evading the immunity offered by vaccination or previous infections.

“I’ve seen patients who have been reinfected with every new variant,” said Ostrosky. “Some have been reinfected 3, 4, and 5 times. We’re seeing people get reinfected with the B4 and B5 variants who were infected with Omicron as recently as March.”

“It’s still very clear that getting vaccinated helps protect people from getting seriously ill from COVID-19,” said Dr. Emily E. Volk, the chief medical officer at Baptist Health Floyd in Indiana and president of the College of American Pathologists.

“I don’t think we know if there is a cumulative effect from reinfection,” Volk told Healthline. “But getting a COVID-19 reinfection is not a risk-free event for anyone, including the risk of long-term effects. We can solidly say that.”

Ostrosky said that, anecdotally, people who had milder cases of COVID-19 on the first infection seem to have milder cases when reinfected. Those with more severe cases initially also tend to have more difficult reinfections — perhaps because their ability to fight the subsequent infection was damaged during their first bout with the disease.

Even a mild reinfection could carry risks, however.

“We don’t know the long-term effects of multiple infections even if they are mild,” said Ostrosky.

Volk said that while there is little public enthusiasm for a return to mask mandates, both she and Ostrosky recommended wearing a mask when indoors, especially in crowded spaces with poor ventilation, and particularly if you’re at elevated risk, or have someone in your life who is.

“It’s still important to protect yourself, stay home when you’re sick, practice good hand hygiene, and mask when appropriate,” said Volk.
