You probably know him as the “H-E-B Guy” in the large Texas-based grocery store chain’s television commercials featuring Houston Texans stars Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins, the Houston Astros’ José Altuve and other local notables.

That familiar face is Scott McClelland, president of H-E-B Food/Drug Stores, who will serve as the guest speaker for the University of Houston Downtown’s 67th Commencement ceremonies on Dec. 14 at Minute Maid Park.

McClelland will address the graduates at the 10 a.m. ceremony for students receiving their degrees from University College, the College of Public Service and College of Humanities & Social Sciences and the 4 p.m. commencement for students from the Marilyn Davies College of Business and College of Sciences and Technology.

In addition, James Adams serve as the student speaker for the morning ceremony, while student Ryan Hashem will address fellow graduates at the late afternoon commencement. As leader of the $26 billion retailer, McClelland is active in the community, serving on numerous local boards, including the Greater Houston Partnership where he serves as the chairman of the Board of Directors.

In 2017, he co-founded the education-based, non-profit Good Reason that focuses on im – proving education for all students across Harris County from cradle to careers by eliminating achievement gaps. In addition, McClelland is a former board chair of the Houston Food Bank where he led its $56 million capital campaign to fund the construction of the largest food bank warehouse in the United States. He also spearheaded the Houston Super Bowl of Caring Food Drive, which is now the largest in the state and annually collects over 2 million pounds of food for the city’s hungry.

McClelland received a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Southern California and is a graduate of Harvard’s Advanced Management Program.

Student Speakers: James Adams and Ryan Hashem will lead the student message during the morning ceremony. His future plans after graduation are to use what he’s learned in Interdisciplinary Studies and his minor in Sustainability to help develop innovative concepts to minimize the world’s carbon footprint.

During his time at UHD, Adams was awarded two Sustainability Initiative and Community Service Learning and Engagement Grants that funded his research and development of a hydroponic system harvesting food, water and energy. “A lot of my academic and personal experiences have been centered around agriculture and renewable energy,” Adams said. “I thrive when exposed to new experiences and challenges, and if there is a position at a firm that lets me analyze, research, and develop solutions with a multi-disciplinary team then that’s where I would like for you to find me.”

Hashem, who will receive his bachelor’s in General Business, uses his natural leadership skills to add value to any organization he joins. He was named Honor Student of the Year in 2018-19 and received the Alpha Lambda Delta award, and Academic Excellence Award in 2017. He plans to earn his MBA after graduation with his sights set on starting his own business. “I have big plans to lead the world through innovation and creativity,” Hashem said. “I want to change the world and inspire others to approach their problems in unique ways.”

Rep. Sylvia Garcia Leads Congressional Letter Against the Implementation of the Safe Third Country Agreement with Guatemala

0

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX-29) and several of her colleagues sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Acting Secretary Chad Wolf condemning the implementation of the Safe Third Country Agreement between the United States and Guatemala.

The agreement allows the U.S. government to deport asylum seekers to Guatemala if they have passed through the country on their way to the U.S. border. This agreement falsely claims that Guatemala is a safe country. Nevertheless, Guatemala does not have the resources to accept migrants who are sent to the country and have several conditions that pose a risk to the safety and well-being of asylum seekers.

Reports of violence are still high in Guatemala and sending migrants there would put them at extreme risk. Guatemala holds one of the highest female homicide rates at 2 homicides per 100,000 females, and evidence shows that conditions in the country are still unsafe. This agreement is not only wrong, but it violates protocols that the U.S. has signed that bans the deportation of migrants to areas where there is a high chance they could be harmed.

Statements from Members of Congress:

“This agreement is just another racist attempt by this administration to refuse migrants access to asylum. We must fight for those applying for asylum, many who are women and children, and protect them from the dangerous conditions this administration is forcing upon them,” said Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (TX-29). “This agreement will not help migrants and will instead send them to dangerous and violent conditions. We must stand up for asylum seekers and against this agreement.”

“The implementation of the Safe Third Country Agreement with Guatemala is pushing vulnerable refugees back into the same countries they are fleeing – countries with some of the highest murder rates in the world and no asylum systems to fairly process their claims and protect them,” said Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (TX-16). “These agreements are deliberately intended to erode asylum. I’m proud to join with my colleague, Rep. Sylvia Garcia to call for the elimination of this reprehensible and dangerous policy.”

“Trump is making a mockery of our asylum process and international obligations in his illegal pursuit of the “Safe Third Country” agreement with Guatemala,” said Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva (AZ-03). Sending vulnerable individuals to a country that is plagued with violence, especially against women and without the proper infrastructure or resources to absorb the influx is a short-sighted plan with significant long-term ramifications to the region. This is a complete lack of compassion, rationality and leadership from this Administration.”

“The ‘Safe Third Country’ agreement is yet another ploy by the administration to undermine our asylum laws while closing the door on  migrants fleeing violence and persecution,” said Congressman Darren Soto (FL-09). “In the face of a humanitarian crisis, we should be welcoming migrants with open arms, not sending them back to the very conditions they’re trying to escape. This complete lack of leadership could have devastating consequences.”

“The ‘Safe Third Country’ agreement ignores the dire conditions driving migration from Guatemala to the United States, and places asylum seekers at great risk,” said Congresswoman Norma Torres (CA-35). “The Department of Homeland Security should immediately rescind this deeply misguided agreement and focus its efforts on strengthening the region’s refugee protection capacity and expanding legal, safe pathways for asylum seekers in the United States.”

Lobster Tails with Street Corn Purée

9

Piquant Pepper 

Red when ripe, chiles de arbol are small, slim and sold dried as well as fresh. These peppers have a bright, acidic heat similar to that of a Thai bird’s eye chile (making them a good substitute). Eating these may boost your metabolism, as capsaicin, the chemical in chile peppers that produces the heat, encourages the body to enter thermogenesis, burning more calories over a 24-hour period.

Ingredients

  • 2 large ears corn, husked 
  • ½ tsp grape seed oil 
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt
  • 1–2 fresh arbol chiles, seeded 
  • 1 lime zested and juiced
  • 2 oz queso fresco, grated + additional for garnish (optional)
  • 2 tbsp organic unsalted butter, melted, divided
  • 4 lobster tails (4 oz each), in shell and split lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives

Preparation

1. Grill vegetables: Preheat grill to medium. Brush corn with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place on grill and cook uncovered, turning occasionally, until charred in spots and kernels are softened, 12 to 15 minutes. Place chile on grill in final minute. On a cutting board, remove kernels from cobs with a sharp knife. In a small bowl, reserve ½ cup kernels. To a blender, add remaining kernels, chile, lime zest and juice, queso fresco and 1 tbsp butter. Purée until smooth.

2. Grill lobster: Increase heat on grill to medium-high. Brush cut sides of lobster tails with remaining 1 tbsp butter. Grill flesh side down, covered, for 2 minutes, or until flesh is opaque. Set aside to cool. Remove lobster tails from shells by pulling meat away with a fork.

3. Divide corn purée among 4 plates. Arrange 2 lobster tail halves onto each plate. Divide reserved corn kernels, chives and additional queso (if using) among plates.

El Arrepentimiento más Grande de una Mujer

2

¿Sabes cuál es el arrepentimiento más grande de una mujer después de terminar una mala relación? Tal vez piensas que se arrepiente de no haber prestado atención a las señales de alerta, o haber perdonado una infidelidad, o pensar que con el tiempo iba a cambiar. Pero no, después de haber entrevistado a cientos de mujeres descubrí que el arrepentimiento más grande de la mayoría es “No haber salido antes de la relación”.

Toda mujer por más enamorada que esté sabe muy bien cuándo su relación amorosa tocó fondo y es hora decir “calabaza calabaza, cada cual para su casa”. Sin embargo son muy poquitas la que se atreven a tomar esta decisión en cuanto se dan cuenta de que ya la relación no va para ningún lado.

Hay 3 razones claves que te ayudan a darte cuenta que es hora de terminar esa relación y no esperar más tiempo:

▪ Si pelean y discuten todo el día: Es normal que en una relación haya desacuerdos, pero si de 24 horas al día 20 te la pasas insatisfecha por sus decisiones o comportamientos, quiere decir que estás perdiendo tu tiempo reclamando y peleando porque sabes que él seguirá siendo igual.

▪ Si sientes que ya no tienes nada en común con él. Si ya no hay metas, planes, ni sueños juntos, significa que no puedes visualizar un futuro con tu pareja y es casi imposible que la relación funcione así.

▪ Si siempre tienes excusas para no tener sexo: No importa cuánto tiempo lleves con tu pareja, si ya no quieres tener intimidad con él, date cuenta que la llama en tu relación se extinguió. Ojo, si la razón por la que no te interesa tener intimidad es por alguna condición médica u hormonal, en este caso debes visitar al médico pues la sexualidad es esencial para que la relación funcione.

Somos humanos y todos cometemos errores, especialmente el de juntarnos con la persona equivocada, es común y pasa todo el tiempo, pero el verdadero fallo es quedarte con esa persona y prolongar la separación sabiendo que ya no eres feliz ahí.

Cirque Du Soleil Adds Twelve Days to the Houston Engagement of Its Iconic and Beloved Production Alegría!

3

Due to popular demand, Cirque du Soleil is excited to be adding 12 days of performances (March 31 – April 12, 2020) to the previously-announced Houston engagement of its joyful, magical and visually-stunning production Alegría, our most iconic production. Now from February 29, 2020 – April 12, 2020, audiences are invited to the Big Top at Sam Houston Race Park to escape to this classic Cirque production shown in a new light.

Broadway World

Cirque du Soleil’s Alegria is a true classic that has touched over 14 million people in 250 cities around the world. The revival of the show keeps the essence of the original production by revisiting its signature elements and pushing them further to today’s audiences as it was at its first performance in 1994. Alegria embodies the Cirque du Soleil experience with all its signature components; jaw-dropping acrobatics, an imaginary world populated by fanciful characters, soul-touching clowning, otherworldly costume, and set designs, and an enchanting musical score.

If you have never seen one of our shows, Alegria is the best introduction to our world. If you have seen Alegria before, come discover it in its bright new reincarnation and fall in love with it all over again.

More about Alegría:

Alegría (‘joy’ in Spanish) takes audiences at the heart of a once glorious kingdom now in decay led by the king’s fool and a dusty aristocracy. Carried by an intangible wind of change, an emerging movement from the streets strives to shake this established order, instilling hope and renewal to bring light and harmony to their world. With its joyful spirit, Alegría is a vital, energizing force driven by a thirst for a brighter tomorrow.

In true Cirque du Soleil fashion, Alegría unfolds soul-touching clown antics and remarkable acrobatic performances in a whimsical and immersive visual universe. Perched at the top of the Big Top, gymnasts fly from one High Bar to the next, and leap into the void to reach the hands of mighty catchers suspended on a cradle swing. Using all her limbs, an artist dazzles with her ability to spin and twirl a multitude of hoops while contorting her body with otherworldly ease. Other Jaw-dropping highlights include a daredevil Fire Knife Dancer eating, breathing, touching and juggling with flames; a sublime couple on Aerial Straps soaring through a delicate snowstorm; and fourteen tumblers bouncing off a Powertrack (trampoline tracks) embedded into the stage to perform crisscrossing series of daring somersaults.
