Texans offseason program Phase 3 begins May 24

The third phase of the Houston Texans’ offseason workout program starts Monday, May 24.

The phase includes 10 organized team activities and a mandatory minicamp that concludes the offseason program on June 15-17.

Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair told reporters on May 22 during the Texans Care Volunteer Day at the Harvard branch of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Houston that he is pleased with the way the team is coming together after meeting with coach David Culley and general manager Nick Caserio.

“I had a great meeting with Nick and coach, and we’re excited about the turnout (of players), how the team’s coming together, and where it’s going,” McNair said. “The players are excited about it (offseason program). The program’s voluntary. None of them have to (participate), but I think one reason they are is that they want to see what this staff is putting our team together.”

The Texans need every opportunity available to form cohesion as they seek to rebound from a 4-12 record and a third-place finish in the AFC South in 2020.

Shell to sell interest in Deer Park refinery to partner Pemex

Shell Oil Company, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc, has reached an agreement for the sale of its interest in Deer Park Refining Limited Partnership, a 50-50 joint venture between Shell Oil Company and P.M.I. Norteamerica, S.A. De C.V. (a subsidiary of Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex). The transaction will transfer Shell’s interest in the partnership, and therefore full ownership of the refinery, to Pemex, subject to regulatory approvals.

“Shell did not plan to market its interest in the Deer Park refinery; however, following an unsolicited offer from Pemex, we have reached an agreement to transfer our interest in the partnership to them,” said Huibert Vigevano, Shell’s Downstream Director. “Pemex has been our strong and active partner at the Deer Park Refinery for nearly 30 years, and we will continue to work with them in an integrated way, including through our on-site chemicals facility, which Shell will retain. Above all, we remain committed to the wellbeing of our employees and will work closely with Pemex to ensure the continued prioritization of safe operations. We’re proud of our 90-plus year history as an operator and neighbor at Deer Park and we will continue to play an active role in the community”.

The consideration for this transaction is $596 million which is a combination of cash and debt, plus the value of hydrocarbon inventory. This transaction allows Shell to further focus its refining footprint while also maintaining integration optionality and retaining value through its Chemicals and Trading activities.

The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2021.

Governor Abbott Celebrates 50th Anniversary Of The Texas Film Commission

Governor Greg Abbott today congratulated the Texas Film Commission (TFC) on its 50th anniversary of service to the state. Created in 1971 to encourage the development of the film industry in Texas, the TFC has since helped to grow local jobs and economies by promoting the Lone Star State as the premier destination for film, television, commercial, animation, visual effects, video game, and extended reality (XR) production.

“Texas has developed into such a vibrant destination for production across all media that the promise and potential recognized 50 years ago has been more than realized,” said Governor Abbott. “As we look to the future, I am certain that TFC will take lessons from, but not be limited by, the past 50 years and use these lessons to connect even more industry creatives and communities, to share even more of Texas’ treasures, and to help even more local economies to grow.”

“It is with Giant excitement, clear eyes, and full hearts that the Texas Film Commission looks to a Perfect World where we are more fully equipped to support our media production industries than ever before,” said Stephanie Whallon, Director, Texas Film Commission. “We are grateful for the tireless efforts expended over the past 50 years by all who have passed through our Office Space; they continue to hold special Places In The Heart.

“We look forward to increased production opportunities in towns and cities, like Paris, Texas, and Dallas, and across the state. We will continue to create jobs for our Urban Cowboy(s), Lonesome Dove(s), Hellion(s), and all the media professionals in between who continue to demonstrate True Grit in the fearless telling of Texas stories.

“As the lines and Borderlands between film, television, animation, video games, XR, and more continue to converge, the Texas Film Commission will continue to grow and evolve to be the Best Little Resource for media production in Texas. For filmmakers, developers, actors, writers, coders, editors, testers, and all of our promising creatives, the future shall be big and bright in the Lone Star State. We are honored and humbled to have been granted 50 years to help cultivate support, and share in your projects and Waking Life(s). Here’s to the next 50 and beyond.”

Connecting industry creatives and communities to economic opportunity, the Texas Film Commission in the Office of the Governor’s Economic Development and Tourism Division has attracted $1.66 billion in local spending and created more than 157,000 production jobs across the state from 2007 to 2020. More than 150 Texas communities are now designated as Texas Film Friendly having completed the Film Friendly Texas certification process. And the Texas Film Commission continues to enhance and expand programs and resources like the Texas Production Directory and Texas Film Trails; partnerships with organizations; and professional development opportunities.

Fort Bend County Judge KP George Takes Action To Help Residents in Need

Partners with Local and Surrounding Area Organizations for Inaugural Gandhi Day of Service

 Today Fort Bend County Judge KP George along with the Houston Food Bank and Second Mile Mission Center distributed meals to the Fresno/Arcola community.  The Food Distribution drive, held at Heritage Rose Elementary in Rosharon, marked one of three sponsored events of giving for the launch of Judge George’s Inaugural Gandhi Day of Service.

“I want to encourage our Fort Bend County residents to see where there is a need either in their community or a neighboring community and reach out to help their fellow neighbor,” said Judge George. “There are so many people who helped me along the way as I was growing up, it’s only natural for me to pay it forward and help others.”

The purpose behind Judge George’s Day of Service is to encourage the Fort Bend County residents to take action by volunteering their time, donating to a cause, or hosting a food drive. The food drive aimed to bring attention to the food insecurity of Fresno and Arcola residents following the impact of  COVID-19 and Winter Storm Uri, which has left many people in need.

Partnering events that took place today in agreement with Judge George’s Gandhi Day of Service included a Food Fair held at the Mamie George Community Center and the NAMIWalks event in recognition of United Day of Hope.

La Asamblea Mundial de la Salud se centrará en el fin de la pandemia de COVID-19 y en la preparación para la siguiente pandemia

En un año en el que la COVID-19 amenaza la salud y el bienestar de todos los habitantes del planeta, la 74.ª Asamblea Mundial de la Salud hará hincapié en la urgencia de poner fin a la actual pandemia y prevenir la próxima construyendo un mundo más sano, más seguro y más justo.

La Asamblea de la Salud, que es el máximo órgano decisorio de la OMS, cuanta con la participación de delegaciones de todo el mundo. También estará abierta a los Miembros Asociados, a los observadores, a los representantes invitados de las organizaciones de las Naciones Unidas y otras organizaciones intergubernamentales participantes, y a los agentes no estatales. La reunión de este año se celebrará del 24 de mayo al 1 de junio de 2021 y tendrá un formato virtual.

En el último año, los casos de COVID-19 se han multiplicado por 40 hasta alcanzar los 162 millones en todo el mundo, mientras que el número de muertes se ha multiplicado por 11 hasta superar los 3,3 millones.

La pandemia ha golpeado duramente a todos los países, pero su impacto se ha dejado sentir más en aquellas comunidades que ya eran vulnerables, que están más expuestas a la enfermedad, que tienen menos probabilidades de tener acceso a servicios de atención de salud de calidad y que tienen más probabilidades de sufrir consecuencias adversas (como la pérdida de ingresos) como resultado de las medidas aplicadas para contener la pandemia.

«Una crisis suele sacar lo mejor de las personas y las organizaciones,» dijo el Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General de la OMS. «Desde el Plan Estratégico de Preparación y Respuesta de la OMS hasta nuestras orientaciones técnicas, el Ensayo de Solidaridad, el Grupo de Tareas de las Naciones Unidas sobre la Cadena de Suministro, la plataforma de aprendizaje OpenWHO.org e iniciativas como el Acelerador del acceso a las herramientas contra la COVID-19, incluida su alianza COVAX, y el Fondo de Respuesta Solidaria, la OMS ha proporcionado a los países herramientas eficaces y basadas en la evidencia para prevenir infecciones, salvar vidas y mantener los servicios de salud esenciales. Estoy especialmente orgulloso del increíble trabajo que el personal de la OMS ha realizado en todo el mundo en los últimos 17 meses para ayudar a los países a poner en funcionamiento estas herramientas.»

Sin embargo, la pandemia está lejos de haber terminado y la respuesta mundial se encuentra en una fase crítica. La desigualdad en materia de vacunas es uno de los problemas más urgentes y supone una amenaza para los esfuerzos por poner fin a la pandemia y para la recuperación mundial: más del 75% de todas las dosis de vacunas se han administrado en solo 10 países; los países de ingresos más bajos han administrado menos de la mitad del porcentaje de dosis mundiales.

«La Asamblea Mundial de la Salud de este año desempeñará un papel fundamental en la configuración de la arquitectura mundial de la salud del futuro y en el fortalecimiento de la OMS para que cumpla su misión y mandato,» añadió el Dr. Tedros.

El orden del día de la Asamblea se centrará en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible relacionados con la salud y en las metas de los tres mil millones de la OMS, que consisten en que mil millones más de personas se beneficien de la cobertura sanitaria universal, que mil millones más de personas estén protegidas frente a las emergencias sanitarias y que mil millones más de personas disfruten de una mejor salud y bienestar.

Durante la Asamblea Mundial de la Salud también se presentará el Informe de resultados de la OMS.  

El 24 de mayo (10.00 -12.00 CEST) tendrá lugar un segmento de alto nivel en el que participarán Jefes de Estado y de Gobierno e invitados especiales, y en el que también pronunciará un discurso el Director General de la OMS.

A continuación, las dos Comisiones de la Asamblea —la Comisión A, que se ocupa principalmente de cuestiones programáticas y presupuestarias, y la Comisión B, que se ocupa principalmente de cuestiones administrativas, financieras y jurídicas— examinarán los distintos puntos del orden del día. Los puntos más destacados son:

  • Proyecto de presupuesto por programas 2022-2023
  • Labor de la OMS en emergencias sanitarias
  • La respuesta a la COVID-19, incluida la preparación en materia de salud mental para la pandemia de COVID-19 y la respuesta conexa
  • Estrategia mundial y plan de acción sobre salud pública, innovación y propiedad intelectual
  • Acción mundial en pro de la seguridad del paciente
  • Estrategia mundial de la OMS sobre salud, medio ambiente y cambio climático
  • Enfermedades no transmisibles
  • Resistencia a los antimicrobianos
  • Agenda de Inmunización 2030
  • La salud en la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible
  • Orientaciones estratégicas mundiales sobre enfermería y partería
  • Poliomielitis
  • Transformación de la OMS

En la Asamblea se presentarán tres informes sobre la respuesta a la COVID-19: el del Comité Independiente de Asesoramiento y Supervisión para el Programa de Emergencias Sanitarias de la OMS (IOAC), el del Grupo independiente de preparación y respuesta frente a las pandemias y el del Comité de Examen acerca del funcionamiento del Reglamento Sanitario Internacional (2005) durante la respuesta a la COVID-19.

Prepare to “Rock Your Boat” This Summer by Taking a Boater Education Course

“Rock Your Boat” Campaign Urges Boater Education to Reduce Fatalities, Injuries on Texas Waterways this Summer

With fatalities on Texas waterways up 40 percent in the first quarter of 2021, Texas boaters are being urged to take boater education before heading to lakes and rivers this Memorial Day. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is launching a “Rock Your Boat” campaign urging boater education to help reduce fatalities and injuries on Texas waterways.

“We want people to enjoy Texas’ waterways this summer and ensure they are prepared before they head out to the lakes and rivers,” said Cody Jones, Assistant Commander for Marine Enforcement at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). “Of fatalities and accidents in 2020, on average more than 60 percent of boat operators had not completed a mandated boater safety course.”

To operate a personal watercraft or a boat with a 15-horsepower rating or more, anyone born on or after Sept. 1, 1993, must complete a boater education course. TPWD offers online resources for a wide range of boater education and safety training, including a free online paddle craft safety course, on the TPWD Boater Education web page.

“Boater education is key to helping reduce accidents and fatalities on the water,” said Kimberly Sorensen, Boating Education manager at TPWD. “As we enter boating season, we ask you all to ‘Rock Your Boat.’”

Five safety tips to “Rock Your Boat” on the water include: wearing a life jacket, avoiding alcohol, watching your kids and others around you, use the engine cut-off switch, and ensuring all know how to swim.

“The most common boating accident types in 2020 involved boat collisions on waterways, fixed object collision, being struck by a vessel, collision with a recreational vehicle, capsizing, flooding/swamping, and falling overboard were the top seven boating incidents and accident types across on Texas waterways,” Jones said. “More than 70 percent of boating accidents were on open motorboats or personal watercraft.  The months of May through August traditionally have the highest numbers of injuries and fatalities statewide, with weekends seeing the peak figures.”

Accidents on the water happen fast. U.S. Coast Guard statistics show that drowning was the reported cause of death in 79 percent of recreational boating fatalities in 2019, and that 86 percent of those who drowned were not wearing a flotation device.

“Life jacket wear on the water is imperative to safety, enjoyment and returning from your weekend without incident, or worse, losing someone you care about,” said Sorensen. “When choosing a life jacket, ensure that it has the ability to support your size and weight and is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. The U.S. Coast Guard requires one wearable life jacket for each person on board that fits them.”

Important safety precautions recommended by TPWD include checking the weather before heading to the water, learning to swim, check equipment, plan, use an engine cut-off switch, and know where you are going.

“Other important precautions Texans should take on the water include traveling at safe speeds, ensuring you have functioning water-proof communication devices (and backup devices), never boat under the influence, and know the rules of the waterway beforehand,” said Sorensen.

For more information about boating safety, laws, and requirements, visit TPWD’s boating laws website. The public is encouraged to check with the managing authority of the waterbody they intend to visit for any local ordinances still in place. All boating laws are still in effect.
