Por: Viva Harris team The passing of Fernando Valenzuela, the iconic Dodgers pitcher, marked a profound moment in the hearts of baseball fans and the Hispanic com- munity alike. Valenzuela wasn’t just a player; he was a cultural phenomenon, a symbol of hope and pride for many. His unique pitching style and the “Fernandomania” that swept across the nation in the 1980s transcended the sport, bridging gaps between cultures and generations. Born in the small town of Etchohuaquila, Mexico, Valenzuela’s journey to the Major Leagues was both remarkable and inspiring. He embodied the dreams of countless young athletes, proving that with talent and determination, anything was possible. His mastery on the mound was complemented by his humility and work ethic, traits that endeared him to fans from all walks of life. Valenzuela’s impact was felt far beyond the diamond; he opened doors for future generations of Hispanic players, paving the way for others to follow in his footsteps. The legacy of Valenzuela can be seen not just in the record books, but in the vibrant culture of Los Angeles. His influence brought a renewed sense of identity to the city’s Latino community, fostering a sense of belonging among fans who felt seen and represented. The celebrations during his games were filled with music, family, and joy, creat- ing a festive atmosphere that resonated with the spirit of the community. The loss of such a beloved figure left a void that echoed through Dodger Stadium and beyond. In the wake of his passing, tributes poured in from teammates, fans, and play- ers across the league, each sharing stories of how Valenzuela had touched their lives. His legacy would not be defined solely by his statistics but by the unity he inspired. Memorials sprung up in his honor, where fans gathered to share memories, celebrate his life, and reflect on the profound impact he had on the game and its culture. As the baseball world mourns the loss of Fernando Valenzuela, his spirit continues to resonate. His story serves as a reminder of the power of sports to unite and inspire, transcending boundaries andlanguage. Valenzuela’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who witnessed the magic of his pitching, and his legacy will continue.

Por: Megan Brown, Navy Offi ce of Community Outreach La Subofi cial de 3ª Clase Clarissa Hernández, origi-naria de Houston, Texas, sirve a la Marina de los EE. UU. asignada al Centro de Entrenamiento Trident (TTF) de Bangor en la Base Naval Kitsap, puerto base de los submarinos de misiles balísticos y de misiles guiados de la Costa Oeste. Hernández se graduó de la escuela secundaria Cy-press Ridge en 2017. Las habilidades y valores necesarios para tener éxito en la Marina son similares a los que se encuentran en Houston. “Al jugar baloncesto en mi escuela secundaria y estar en la escolta, aprendí la importancia de ser un jugador de equipo”, dijo Hernández. “En la Marina, te encuentras con mu-chas personalidades diferentes, por lo que es importante saber cómo trabajar en equipo y cómo interactuar con diferentes personalidades”. Hernández se unió a la Marina hace tres años. Hoy, Hernández se desempe-ña como técnico de sonar (submarinos). “Me uní a la Marina para viajar”, dijo Hernández. “Mi abuelo también estuvo en el ejército, así que siempre supe que quería estar en el servicio”.Conocidas como los “Apex Preda-tors” de Estados Unidos, la fuerza submarina de la Armada opera una gran fl ota de embarcaciones técnica-mente avanzadas. Estos submarinos son capaces de realizar rápidas opera-ciones defensivas y ofensivas en todo el mundo, para promover la seguridad nacional de Estados Unidos. Un com-ponente importante de esa seguridad marítima tiene su puerto base en la Base Naval Kitsap, en Washington.Hay tres tipos básicos de submarinos: submarinos de ataque rápido (SSN), submarinos de misiles balísticos (SSBN) y submarinos de misiles guia-dos (SSGN). Los submarinos de ataque rápido están diseñados para cazar y destruir submarinos y barcos de superfi cie enemigos; atacar objetivos en tierra con misiles de crucero; transportar y entregar Navy SEAL; realizar misiones de inteligencia, vigilancia y recono-cimiento; y participar en la guerra contra las minas. El SSN clase Virginia es el submarino más avanzado del mundo en la actualidad. Combina capacidad de sigilo y carga útil para satisfacer las demandas de los coman-dantes combatientes en esta era de competencia estratégica. Los submarinos de misiles balísticos de la Armada, a menudo denomina-dos “boomers”, sirven como elemento de disuasión estratégico al propor-cionar una plataforma indetectable para misiles balísticos lanzados desde submarinos. Los SSBN están diseña-dos específi camente para patrullas sigilosas, extendidas y el lanzamiento preciso de misiles. El SSBN clase Co-lumbia será el submarino más grande, más capaz y más avanzado producido por los EE. UU., reemplazando a los actuales submarinos de misiles balísti-cos clase Ohio para garantizar una disuasión estratégica continua basada en el mar hasta la década de 2080. Los submarinos de misiles guiados brindan a la Armada capacidades de misión de operaciones especiales y ataques sin precedentes desde una plataforma clandestina y sigilosa. Cada SSGN es capaz de transportar 154 misiles de crucero Tomahawk, además de un complemento de torpe-dos pesados que se dispararán a través de cuatro tubos de torpedos. La disuasión estratégica es el pro-grama de seguro defi nitivo del país, según funcionarios de la Marina. Como miembro de la fuerza subma-rina, Hernández es parte de una rica historia de 124 años de la plataforma de armas más versátil de la Marina de los EE. UU., capaz de llevar la lucha al enemigo en defensa de Estados Unidos y sus

The best part is that we will be able to spend time with the people we care about while we travel. Since this bizarre illness entered our lives and completely turned them upside down, this is what we had been hoping and praying for. We're going to be independent again now. When our freedom was taken away from us, we were completely bewildered and disoriented. Our independence and strength gave rise to our culture. We do not wish to regress in any way. Be careful when you're with my people. Kindly don't stop getting vaccinations and making sure you always act safely. We will advance as a society and a culture as long as you carry on in this manner. There are still men's battles to come, but consider all the victories we have already achieved. This is what we were designed for. Although the days can be difficult and lengthy, it's nothing we can't manage. Thus, much like in the Puebla battle, we must be prepared and never give up. Though there are a lot of things to be sad about, please look at this picture one day and tell yourself that my people will always be known as winners, leaders, and soldiers on this day. It will always be recognized in our culture that you are a winner. According to Linda Stalters, it is crucial to assist them from the start since psychological problems lead to a refusal to accept treatment because the patients believe nothing is changed. Sus síntomas se manifestan por la mayoría de las personas desde la adolescencia hasta la edad adulta. It can be difficult for most families to distinguish between normal teenage behavior and abnormal behavior. Los primeros indicadores de que los padres deben llevar a su hijos an un psiquiatra son cuando alguien se aislando, si está mirando a su alrededor, oíindo cosas que no existen, o experimentando un poco de paranoia. If someone starts acting differently, it's important to conduct a thorough examination. En relación al cerebro, el síntomo de un tumor cerebral puede resemblar a los de una enfermedad mental en alguien. En otoño de 2018 y primavera de 2019, Lone Star College admitió más de 39,000 estudiantes hispanos, lo cual representa el 36% de la población total de estudiantes. Esto señaló en Hispanic Outlook en Education. El Centro Nacional de Estadísticas Educativas empleó el Sistema Nacional Integrado de Datos de Educación Postsecundaria para determinar las clasificaciones, mediante un método de encuestas."The faculty and staff at Lone Star College did an amazing job last year helping our students finish their education in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic," stated Head. "I appreciate your efforts and hope for a better future with you." In order to plan on-site clinics for groups of ten or more, state officials established the Mobile Vaccine Team Call Center via the state hotline as vaccine supply and vaccination rates increased among vulnerable populations. Over 12,000 Texans have received the vaccination since then. Governor Greg Abbott urged "groups of Texans who wish to get vaccinated as a business, family unit, group of friends or more" to plan an event and aid in the fight against the pandemic when he announced this week's project expansion. He declared, "We will continue to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in communities throughout the state by working together to get more vaccines." Interactive books: Ensure that the books on your child's shelf are ones that will make studying Spanish engaging and entertaining. For instance, children can study words in both English and Spanish about 12 distinct places they adore with the bilingual learning book "100 Words About Places I Go." Children can learn words in two languages about things they can bring and surprises they can find when they visit the beach, school, park, farm, amusement park, and other locations. Each page has ten touch-sensitive areas that teach counting, words, and colors. Puzzles: Due to their ability to enhance cognitive function, puzzles are a great game to introduce vocabulary in both Spanish and English. The Interactive Wooden Animal Puzzle by LeapFrog For instance, as children match six animal puzzle pieces by shape and color, they can hear words in Spanish repeated in English. When children place or remove each piece, they will hear distinct responses that help them learn the names and sounds of the animals as well as colors, numbers, and interesting facts. The chancellor of Lone Star College, Stephen C. Head, Ph.D., stated, "Lone Star College remains committed to helping all students succeed." "This honor is a testament to our faculty and staff, who never stop providing our students with exceptional support and guidance." A small student-to-faculty ratio, a high percentage of online students, a high graduation rate, and the institution's academic influence—as measured by the number of academic contributions made by its faculty in their fields of study and the frequency with which they were cited by other academic works—are just a few of the key metrics that TexasOnlineColleges.com uses to identify academic excellence.
