AGT Stars Join Forces Noah Guthrie To Join We Three On Tour In Multiple Cities

3

March 29th 2019, (New York, NY) — Pop/rock sibling-trio and America’s Got Talent semi-finalists, We Three, add singer-songwriter, former Glee star, and fellow AGT star, Noah Guthrie to the bill for their shows in Houston (4/14), Denver (4/17), Salt Lake (4/19), Phoenix (4/20), Los Angeles (4/23), and San Francisco (4/24).

South Carolina-born and raised, Noah Guthrie is ready to bring his blues-filled, richly textured voice to the stage for the Lifeline Tour. Guthrie’s newest album, The Valley, highlights emotional vulnerability and powerful vocals. In addition to his role on Glee, Guthrie has also performed on shows like NBC’s Today Show and Tonight Show, Dancing With The Stars, and was a semi-finalist on season 13 of America’s Got Talent.

Noah and We Three expressed their mutual admiration for each other, with Noah stating

“I’m so excited to play a few shows with We Three! They are so talented and such awesome people. It will be fun to have a little reunion after our time on AGT. I can’t wait to get on the road with them!”. We Three added “Noah has a head-turning voice and we’re thrilled to have him join us on the Lifeline tour!”.

The Oregon-raised siblings Joshua (piano/drums), Bethany (bass), and Manny (guitar) announced The “Lifeline” Tour last month in an exclusive with Billboard.

As Bethany Blanchard told Taylor Weatherby at Billboard: “To do this tour is literally a dream come true. It’s what we have always wanted, and for us to be able to actually meet our fans and share our very special show is so exciting.”

The tour will feature a one-of-a-kind augmented reality poster, developed by world-renowned IT-artist and creator of AR.Gallery, Jonmar. All posters will be encrypted with a QR code that when scanned with a smartphone through the AR.Gallery App (available in Apple App Store and Google Play Store, or via a link on the band’s website) will bring the poster to life and transport the viewer into We Three’s “alternate world”, where the band will be in conversation about their tour and offering the sounds of exclusive unreleased music.

Through all 33 dates, We Three will be showcasing music from their debut album, We Three (2018). Comprised of 12 original songs, four of which were performed during their successful run on NBC’s hit show, America’s Got Talent, the album enjoys tens of millions of streams on all platforms.

Crea Tu Paraiso

4

Tu puedes estar en el lugar más hermoso del planeta pero si tu corazón esta herido o tu mente esta ansiosa te sentirás miserable. Por el contrario, puedes encontrarte en el sitio más desagradable del mundo pero si estas de buen ánimo y agradecida te sentirás feliz, tú eres el creador de tu propio paraíso.

Por eso es que has escuchado la frase que dice: “La felicidad viene de adentro” y quizás te has preguntado “¿¡Pero dónde esta!?”.

La felicidad tiene dos componentes y ambos están dentro de ti: lo químico y lo anímico el primer ingrediente se llama endorfina, producido en tu cerebro cuando realizas actividades que te generan placer como hacer el amor, comer chocolate o hacer ejercicio.

No es casualidad que las personas que aseguran ser felices siempre están haciendo algo que les gusta.

El otro factor de la felicidad es tu estado de ánimo; es la forma en la que piensas y reaccionas ante cada situación, donde no importa lo que suceda, tú tomas la decisión de estar feliz. Todos nacemos con el derecho de ser felices, ¡esto te pertenece y nada ni nadie te lo puede robar!

La felicidad no tiene nada que ver con los logros que puedas alcanzar o las riquezas que puedas acumular. Tampoco depende del espacio en donde te encuentres, el tiempo en que vivas, ni la compañía que te rodea.

Si tu felicidad depende de alcanzar lo que tienes en tu lista de deseos; bien sea la relación ideal, un auto nuevo, el trabajo perfecto o perder libras, estas poniendo condiciones para sentirte plena y satisfecha. El secreto para ser feliz ¡es vivir en el presente!.

Empieza a gozar los detalles simples de la vida. Por ejemplo, cuando estés tomando un cafecito caliente, abrazando al ser que amas o mirando la puesta del sol, reconoce que ese momento no volverá a repetirse, y disfrútalo como si María Marín motivadora internacional.

Data Shows Oil & Natural Upstream Employment Continued to Grow in January

5

AUSTIN – Upstream* oil and natural gas employment continued to grow in January 2019, according to data from the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC).

TWC data shows that while employment in oil and natural gas extraction and supporting activities fell by 1,900 jobs in November 2018 compared to October, upstream employment rebounded with a 1,300 job gain in December and another 100 job gain in January 2019. Beginning in December of 2016, upstream employment grew every month except in November 2018, making 25 months of growth out of a total of 26 months since the recovery began.

Texas has recovered 41 percent of jobs lost between the high point in employment in December 2014 and the low point in September 2016. Since the low point, employment in the Texas upstream sector has grown by 47,200 jobs.

“The trajectory of upstream job growth remains positive, which is good news for all Texans, and especially the men and women of the oil and natural gas industry who earn among the highest wages in Texas,” said Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil & Gas Association. “Record oil and natural gas production in Texas, and jobs that come with it, is securing our economy, our environment and our future.”

Bledsoe Scores 23 to Lead Bucks past Rockets, 108-94

1

Eric Bledsoe stole the show in a marquee matchup between the Milwaukee Bucks and Houston Rockets on Tuesday night.

With top-billing going to MVP front-runners Giannis Antetokounmpo and James Harden, the feisty Bucks’ guard turned in one his best all-around performances of the season as the Bucks pulled away for a 108-94 victory on Tuesday night.

Bledsoe poured in 23 points, including 16 in a decisive third quarter, and tightly guarded Harden for most of the game. Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer praised Bledsoe’s allaround performance. Antetokounmpo had 19 points and 14 rebounds for Milwaukee, which improved to an NBA-best 56-19.

Harden scored 23 points and Chris Paul had 19 for Houston, which lost for just the third time in 17 games. Harden shot just 9 of 26, including 1 for 9 from 3-point range with Bledsoe closely guarding him throughout most of the game.

After a tightly contested first half, the Bucks grabbed control in the third, sparked by Bledsoe’s clutch shooting. Leading by five at halftime, Milwaukee built a 19-point lead in the third.

Bledsoe went 4 of 5 on 3-pointers in the period after missing his only two attempts in the first half. His third-quarter output, which included a single-handed 11-0 run, nearly matched the 18 points
scored by Houston.

Milwaukee held the Rockets at bay for most of the fina quarter, maintaining a double-digit lead throughout before clearing the bench with about a minute left.

The Rockets jumped out early, building a 10-point first-quarter lead without Harden doing the bulk of the scoring. Danuel House Jr. paced Houston with nine points in the period, making all three of his 3-point attempts. The Bucks struggled in the opening period, shooting just 8 of 25, including 3 for 13 from deep. Khris Middleton missed all six of his shots in the first quarter.

Milwaukee fought back in the second and eventually grabbed the lead. A key sequence came midway through the quarter when, after a basket by Ersan Ilyasova, Bledsoe stole the
inbounds pass, scored and then
stood face-to-face with Harden
under the basket as the crowd
roared.
The Bucks led 58-53 at the
break, paced by Antetokounmpo’s
13 points and eight rebounds.
Houston coach Mike D’Antoni blamed an uncharacteristic
rash of turnovers in the second
quarter for allowing the Bucks to
grab the lead.
