Arrestan a una pareja acusada de robar un Walmart en Texas, golpear al gerente y amenazar con iniciar un tiroteo

La Oficina del Alguacil del Precinto 4 del Condado de Harris ha confirmado el arresto de una pareja acusada de agredir al gerente de un Walmart en Texas y robar la tienda.

El 5 de junio, los oficiales del Alguacil respondieron a un Walmart situado en el bloque 24800 de Aldine Westfield Road, en referencia a un asalto.

Al llegar los oficiales, el hombre involucrado en el asalto ya no estaba tras haber escapado de la escena a pie, sin embargo fue detenido rapidamente e identificado como Jarrell Williams.

Williams y Jackson estaban robando en el Walmart

Las investigaciones posteriores revelaron que el hombre de 32 años y una mujer, identificada como Aundrea Jackson , de 30 años, estaban robando en el interior del Walmart.

Sin embargo, el gerente de la tienda se dio cuenta y les pidió que entraran en la sala de seguridad.

De inmediato, Williams agredió físicamente al encargado, causándole lesiones físicas. Luego, amenazó con iniciar un tiroteo en la tienda.

“Ambos sospechosos fueron detenidos e ingresaron en la cárcel del condado de Harris. Jarrell Williams fue acusado de agresión con lesiones corporales. Aundrea Jackson fue acusada de Robo”, confirmó el Alguacil.

La fianza de Williams se fijó en $5,101 y la de Jackson en $100.

Esto recomienda la policía en caso de un robo

  • Cualquier persona puede ser víctima del crimen, por lo que las autoridades recomiendan estar más prevenido y saber cómo defenderse.
  • La mayoría de los asaltos ocurren cuando la persona va bajando o subiendo a su vehículo, que es un momento en que la toman por sorpresa.
  • Debe ver a los alrededores y verificar que no haya alguna persona dentro de algún vehículo observando con actitud sospechosa, si es así es mejor alejarse.

Crowded 2024 Republican race helps clear way for Trump nomination

Crowded 2024 Republican race helps clear way for Trump nomination

A growing number of contenders for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination could clear the way for a Donald Trump victory while throwing up roadblocks for his main rival Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, party members and strategists said.

Republicans who fear Trump is too polarizing a figure to beat Democratic President Joe Biden in 2024 worry that if too many candidates jump into the party’s contest, they will splinter the anti-Trump vote. That would allow the former president to clinch the nomination, just as he did in similar circumstances in 2016.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum are planning to enter the fray this week, bringing the number of challengers to front-runner Trump into the double digits.

Political analysts estimate that Trump can count on a diehard core of supporters, who make up at least a third of Republican voters, to help him secure his party’s nomination.

DeSantis has been aggressively courting those voters, but few are expected to defect from Trump. If DeSantis has any hope of becoming the Republican nominee, political analysts said, he has to try to win over a significant chunk of the other roughly 70% of voters who are up for grabs.

DeSantis must compete with a raft of Republican rivals for those votes. To be sure, many are long shots who barely register in opinion polls, but they can still hamper DeSantis’ efforts to build the coalition he needs to take on Trump.

“I’m very concerned that we appear to be making the same mistakes that we made in 2016,” said Larry Hogan, a popular former Republican governor of Maryland and a fierce critic of Trump.

Hogan seriously considered taking on Trump but decided earlier this year against entering the race because he feared that a large field of contenders would only help the former president to repeat his 2016 victory, when he bested 17 major candidates.

“It’s better for us to have a smaller field with a strong candidate or two rather than 10 or more people who are failing to get attention, who are all in single digits,” in opinion polls, Hogan said in an interview.

“The only one that benefits from that at this point in time appears to be Donald Trump,” said Hogan, a moderate who wants the party to move on from Trump. “It’s the definition of insanity continuing to do the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”

On Monday, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, another moderate who had been considering a White House run, said he decided not to enter the race. He told CNN he wanted to be a more “candid, a little more unleashed voice” outside the confines of a presidential bid, as he seeks to try and move the party beyond Trump.

Right now it’s essentially a two-man race.

Trump dominates the field among potential Republican primary voters with 49% support with DeSantis next at 19%. There is a yawning chasm between the front-runners and the rest of the field: Pence has just 5% backing, while former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has 4%, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll conducted in May.

Others are barely registering at all. Christie has just 1% backing him, as does U.S. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, while former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, who declared in April, has 0%.

WHY LONG SHOTS ARE STILL JUMPING IN

A casual observer might ask why candidates with such low poll numbers are jumping into a race that already has a clear front-runner early on.

“Most get in because they truly think they have a chance of winning the nomination,” said Oscar Brock, a Republican National Committee member from Tennessee.

Some know they cannot win, said John Feehery, a Republican strategist, but they might be angling for a cabinet position, or hoping to join the ticket of the eventual nominee as the vice presidential candidate, or simply looking for 15 minutes of fame to secure a book deal.

Long shots have also emerged from nowhere to win past nominating fights, Feehery noted, including Democrat Jimmy Carter in 1976 and Trump, who was polling at just 4% when he announced his candidacy in June 2015.

Many may have decided to enter the 2024 race because of the perceived vulnerabilities of the two front runners, Feehery said. Trump faces potential indictments for withholding classified documents and seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election, while DeSantis is trying to regain his footing after losing ground in opinion polls.

“These candidates who are striving to be the alternative see DeSantis continue to stumble and fumble. And they say, ‘Well, why couldn’t that be me?'” said Jason Miller, a senior Trump adviser.

Perhaps with an eye on the soon-to-expand field, DeSantis finally began punching back against Trump on the campaign trail last week after weathering an onslaught of attacks from his former ally for months.

City of Houston Awarded $36.91 Million in Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant Funding, Largest Allocation in the State of Texas

City of Houston Awarded $36.91 Million in Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant Funding, Largest Allocation in the State of Texas

Image
The United States Department of Transportation announced today that the City of Houston will receive $36.91 million in federal funding through the Railroad Crossing Elimination grant program for the West Belt Improvement Project (Phase I). The award is the largest allocation in the state of Texas.

This funding will ensure the reconstruction of the Navigation Boulevard railroad underpass and the construction of the Commerce Street underpass.  Additionally, a new underpass on York Street will be constructed.

The Railroad Crossing Elimination Grant Program was created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. This competitive discretionary grant program will help improve safety, eliminate lengthy delays at railroad crossings, and lower the costs of transporting goods, thus making them more affordable for American families. Today’s announcement is the fourth grant awarded to the City of Houston since the law passed in 2021.

The West Belt Improvement Project (Phase 1) is the first phase of implementing a future 14,600-foot sealed rail corridor along the Houston Belt & Terminal Railroad’s West Belt Subdivision. Phase 1 includes the construction of four underpasses and closure of four at-grade crossings to eliminate seven existing at-grade crossings and reconstruct one underpass to current standards. When completed, Phase 1 will have an opportunity to create a 9,000-foot sealed corridor and quiet zone.
Image
“This funding is a crucial step in improving transportation equity for all users,” said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner. “The West Belt Improvement Project will help address the impacts of slow, stopped and longer trains that block crossing by eliminating the at grade conflict. This will enhance safety for our first responders and increase travel reliability for those commuting and living in the East End.”

A study completed by the Gulf Coast Rail District in 2012 identified Commerce/Navigation and York/Sampson, as critical for general purpose connectivity and as alternate routes for emergency responders. The Commerce Street/Navigation Boulevard underpass will provide direct access to downtown, Dynamo Stadium, and Minute Maid Park. The York Street underpass will provide direct access to Interstate Highway 45, University of Houston, and Texas Southern University.

•    Texas State Senator Carol Alvarado, District 6
•    Gabe Cazares, Executive Director, LINKHouston
•    Texas State Representative Ana Hernandez, House District 143

Récords Guinness: Don Francisco es reconocido por tener la carrera más larga como presentador de televisión

La entidad destacó a Mario Kreutzberger por su “imparable labor” en televisión por más de 60 años, con los títulos “el presentador de programas de televisión de variedades de más edad” y “la carrera profesional más larga como presentador de programas de televisión de variedades”. Además, del reconocimiento a “Sábado Gigante”.

Este jueves, Récords Guinness destacó a Mario Kreutzberger, comúnmente conocido como Don Francisco, por tener la carrera más larga como presentador de televisión.

De acuerdo con la entidad, el chileno fue poseedor de dos títulos por su “imparable labor” en televisión por más de 60 años:

  • El presentador de programas de televisión (de variedades) de más edad (82 años 85 días).
  • La carrera profesional más larga como presentador de programas de televisión (de variedades) (60 años 277 días).

La organización también consignó a Sábado Gigante como el programa de televisión (de variedades) de mayor duración presentado por el mismo animador (53 años y 42 días), el cual fue transmitido por primera vez el 8 de agosto de 1962 en Chile (Canal 13) y finalizó el 19 de septiembre de 2015 en Estados Unidos (Univisión).

“Kreutzberger, cultivó una audiencia fiel a través de su naturalidad, humanidad y cercanía con el público. Durante décadas les entregó a los hogares de América Latina y el mundo un espacio de entretenimiento lleno de alegría, esperanza y diversión”, agregó.

La entidad también destacó que “la vida de Don Francisco está llena de innumerables e inolvidables momentos que han marcado grandes hitos en la historia. Este soñador e imparable trabajador, se estableció en Estados Unidos en 1986. Allí consolidó su carrera como presentador y se convirtió en uno de los latinos más influyentes de los últimos años”.

“Durante su carrera, Kreutzberger ha recibido importantes premios y homenajes, entre ellos, la Estrella en el Paseo de la Fama en Hollywood (2001), la Medalla Papal Benemerenti otorgada por el Papa Juan Pablo II (2002), el Premio Emmy (2005), y su nombre está inscrito en el Salón de la Fama de la Academia de Artes y Ciencias de la Televisión en Estados Unidos (2012)”, añadió.

“En el 2021 se incorporó a la cadena CNN en Español presentando el programa Reflexiones con Don Francisco al momento ha reunido a más de 160 invitados entre artistas, personalidades destacadas, científicos, y personas que han vivido experiencias únicas”, continuó.

También mencionan la condecoración de Don Francisco como embajador de Unicef, Muscular Dystrophy Association y presentador de Teletón Chile.

De este modo, Mario Kreutzberger recibió sus certificaciones por parte de la Adjudicadora Oficial de Guinness World Records, Sarah Casson.

Su legado también ha quedado plasmado en las páginas de la nueva edición del libro de Guinness World Records 2024 que lanza en octubre en América Latina.

Reacción de Don Francisco

En la instancia, el chileno manifestó sentirse “muy honrado de tener tres títulos de Guinness World Records. Este es el resultado de muchos años de trabajo, dedicación y perseverancia”.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” recauda US$ 120 millones en su impresionante fin de semana de estreno

“Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” tejió una impresionante telaraña en taquilla durante el fin de semana de estreno de la secuela de “Into the Spider-Verse”.

Estrenada el 2 de junio, “Across the Spider-Verse” recaudó US$ 120,5 millones en su estreno de tres días, lo que la convierte en la segunda mayor apertura del año, por detrás de los US$ 146 millones de “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” en su debut en abril.

Con una duración de dos horas y veinte minutos, el fin de semana de estreno de “Across the Spider-Verse” superó las expectativas al triplicar con creces los US$ 35 millones que recaudó “Into the Spider-Verse” durante su estreno en 2018.

“Into the Spider-Verse” fue aclamada por la crítica y ganó un Oscar a la mejor película de animación en los Premios de la Academia 2019.

Las cifras en taquilla de la secuela también suponen el mejor estreno para una superproducción veraniega, superando los US$ 118 millones recaudados por “Guardianes de la Galaxia Vol. 3” de Marvel en mayo, y es el tercer mejor fin de semana de estreno para una película de “Spider-Man”, según Sony.

La película sigue a Miles Morales, que es “catapultado a través del Multiverso, donde se encuentra con la Sociedad Araña, un equipo de Spider-Personas encargadas de proteger la existencia misma del Multiverso”, según la sinopsis.

Cuando Morales se encuentra “enfrentado a los demás Spiders” en medio de un conflicto sobre cómo manejar una nueva amenaza, se pone en marcha “por su cuenta para salvar a los que más quiere”.

“Across the Spider-Verse” está protagonizada por Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya y Oscar Isaac.

City of Houston and Bezos Academy Open Three Free Preschools

City of Houston and Bezos Academy Open Three Free Preschools

Image
Following the announcement of a 10-year lease agreement between the City of Houston and Bezos Academy last year, three preschools are now open in Houston and currently accepting applications for the 2023-2024 school year. The partnership is championed by the Mayor’s Office of Education and Youth Engagement which worked to place the preschools in Houston’s most historically under resourced communities, ensuring every child will have equitable opportunities for education that propels them to a meaningful and successful future.

Bezos Academy Houston locations include the Denver Harbor Multi-Service Center, in Magnolia Park at the Community Family Center Building, and in North Shore at the San Jacinto College North Campus.
Image
These preschools were also supported by the Mayor’s Office of Complete Communities, the Houston Health Department, Community Family Centers, and San Jacinto College. All three sites will offer year-round programming, five days a week, for children ages 3-5 years old. Students will also be provided with everything needed during the day, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. To learn more about eligibility, visit the Bezos Academy website.

“We are happy to continue to work with Bezos Academy to fight for the future of all children, especially those within our Complete Communities,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “When we invest in our children, we are investing in a brighter and more equitable future for our city,”

Studies show that children who have access to high-quality early childhood programs complete high school with lower rates of suspension, arrests, and substance abuse issues, and have higher rates of employment as adults. In Harris County, there are approximately 360,000 children between the ages of 0 and 4, however, childcare capacity in Houston can only meet the needs of about 185,000 children. The opening of these three schools will help to close this gap and give those in our historically most under resourced communities access to education that nurtures the potential in every child.

“Having spent my career teaching and leading in Texas, I know from experience the tremendous leg-up that preschool provides our students,” said Dr. A. Tracie Brown, Bezos Academy Superintendent of Schools. “Mayor Turner’s vision to expand that access for kids who wouldn’t otherwise have it made Houston an obvious place for us to open schools. Now that our first three schools are up and running, that vision has become a reality for the children who show up at a Bezos Academy preschool each day, and we can’t wait to welcome more.”

All three locations are still accepting applications through 11:59 p.m. PST, Monday, June 5th.
About the Mayor’s Office of Education and Youth Engagement
Public education is a human right, the great social equalizer, and a key to a prosperous community. Mayor Sylvester Turner believes that each generation of children should be assured a better life and education. Through collaboration, communication, and coordination, the Mayor’s Office of Education strives to ensure this goal for all families in Houston by promoting access to equitable education and opportunities.

About Bezos Academy
Bezos Academy is a non-profit organization that is building a network of tuition-free preschools. Our preschools offer year-round, full-day programming, five days a week, for children ages 3-5 years old from low-income families. Bezos Academy also provides students with all necessary educational supplies and services to set each student up for success, including Montessori materials, books, arts and crafts, field trips, and meals.
