Texas was the second most popular state for relocation activity in 2018; Californians moving to Texas increased 36.4%

January 27, 2020

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Texas ranked second in the nation for relocation activity in 2018, according to the 2020 edition of the Texas Relocation Report released today by Texas Realtors, which analyzes the latest migration data from the U.S. Census Bureau and U-Haul.

“For the sixth year in a row, more than half a million people chose Texas as their new home,” said Cindi Bulla, 2020 chairman of Texas Realtors. “And why not? In addition to its business-friendly environment with no state income tax and abundance of jobs, land and opportunity, Texas is known for its diverse, friendly spirit and culture.”

According to the report, Texas welcomed 563,945 new residents in 2018. This figure is more than the number of out-of-state residents who moved to Texas in 2017 (524,511). The net gain of out-of-state residents in Texas in 2018 increased 78.1% from 57,173 in 2017 to 101,805 residents in 2018.

Among U.S. states, the highest number of new Texans relocated from California (86,164), Florida (37,262), Louisiana (29,108), Oklahoma (24,590) and New York (21,509). The number of people who relocated from California to Texas increased by 36.4% compared to 2017. The Lone Star State also welcomed 201,559 new residents from outside the United States in 2018.

Texas ranked third in the United States for the number of residents moving out of state (462,140) in 2018. The most popular out-of-state relocation destinations for Texans were California (37,810), Oklahoma (31,551), Colorado (26,930), Florida (24,197) and Louisiana (23,588).

At the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) level, Los Angeles-Long Beach–Anaheim, New York–Newark–Jersey City and Chicago–Naperville–Elgin produced the highest volume of residents relocating to Texas. The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington MSA recorded the highest number of incoming residents from out-of-state (200,966), followed by Houston–The Woodlands–Sugar Land (176,110).

At the county level, Harris County (Houston) led the state with a net gain of 80,572 residents relocating from out of state, but four of the top 10 counties with the highest net gain of out-of-state residents were in North Texas (Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties). Three of the top 10 counties were located in Central Texas (Travis, Williamson and Bell).

Bulla concluded, “We anticipate the Lone Star State will continue to be a popular destination for relocation activity for years to come. We encourage our new neighbors to choose a Texas Realtor to help you assess your needs and navigate our ever-evolving housing market. “

NIH’s PregSource research project now available in Spanish

January 27, 2020

BETHESDA, Maryland, Jan. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — To expand the reach of its crowdsourcing pregnancy research project, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently launched a Spanish version of PregSource^®. The project, led by the NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), aims to establish a comprehensive picture of the pregnancy experience to inform strategies for improving maternal and obstetric healthcare.

Unlike other pregnancy research projects that rely on healthcare providers and researchers to gather information, PregSource gathers data directly from pregnant women through confidential, online questionnaires. The English version of PregSource launched in January 2018.

Now, English- and Spanish-speaking pregnant women can provide information about their pregnancy experiences, such as nausea, sleep patterns and weight gain. Both versions of PregSource also include a medication tracker, allowing women to log their use of prescription drugs, supplements and over-the-counter medications during pregnancy.

“Having questionnaires and information in both English and Spanish improves our ability to gather data from a diverse audience,” said Caroline Signore, M.D., M.P.H., principal investigator for PregSource and deputy director of NICHD’s Division of Extramural Research. “We’re excited about the possibilities for understanding more about pregnancy.”

Women who sign up for PregSource can chart changes to their weight, sleep, mood, morning sickness and physical activity throughout their pregnancy and share this information with their healthcare providers. They can compare their experiences to those of other participants and access information and resources from experts on pregnancy, childbirth and child development. PregSource also offers the ability to track experiences for three months after giving birth, which helps to capture information on breastfeeding experiences, short-term medical issues and the transition back to work.

Dr. Signore added that the PregSource research team is working on a mobile app that will make it easier for participants to log information anytime, from anywhere. The app will be available in both English and Spanish.

The PregSource research project is open to pregnant women ages 18 and older. Sign up to participate, or visit the site to learn more.

Introducing The 19th: A Nonprofit, Nonpartisan Newsroom To Inform, Engage And Empower America’s Women

January 27, 2020

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A cross-country team of veteran women journalists announced today the launch of The 19th, www.19thnews.org, a new nonprofit, nonpartisan national newsroom that will deeply cover the intersection of gender, politics and policy. Its mission is to empower women — particularly those underserved by and underrepresented in American media — with the information, community and tools they need to be equal participants in our democracy.

Co-founded by CEO Emily Ramshaw and Publisher Amanda Zamora — both veterans of The Texas Tribune — The 19th’s goal is to provide women from all backgrounds with a place to tell their stories and see themselves reflected in consequential news coverage. The original journalism produced by The 19th will reimagine politics and policy coverage through a gender lens, and be free to consume and free to republish.

“The 19th aims to elevate the voices of women who are underrepresented in and underserved by American media: women of color, women living off the coasts and women of limited means,” Ramshaw said. “There are simply not enough women leading newsrooms, and as a result, not enough stories about the issues, inequities and unique challenges that most directly affect women’s lives.”

The 19th will focus on deep-dive, evidence-based reporting that exposes gender inequity and injustice, and original stories on the issues that most deeply affect women’s lives, from health care to the economy. It will provide a digital platform for civil conversations and community building, produce national events that bring readers into direct dialogue with their elected officials, and build a newsroom that reflects the racial and socioeconomic diversity of women in America. Initial beats will include presidential politics, women and Congress, the women’s electorate, women’s health, women and the economy, and women and the states.

As a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom, all of The 19th’s content will be free to consume and will not be behind a paywall. Revenue from member support, individual philanthropy, foundation grants, corporate sponsorships and live events will help ensure the content remains free to consume by readers and free to republish by news organizations and community groups. The 19th’s destination website, newsletter and community platform will launch in the summer of 2020. In the interim, readers can find stories from The 19th exclusively at The Washington Post.

Readers will also have the chance to engage with The 19th in several cities across the country this year. Beginning this spring, The 19th is embarking on a national listening tour to hear directly from readers about the state of voting rights in their communities and explore the top issues facing women at the ballot box in November. With the League of Women Voters and The Riveter as partners, The 19th Listening Tour will kick off in Austin on April 22, and will travel to Los Angeles, Denver, Seattle, Minneapolis and Atlanta throughout the summer and fall.

“While women today are more engaged than ever in the political process, they remain far underrepresented at all levels of government and in the nation’s executive ranks. They’re also underrepresented in newsroom leadership, which influences how the news is covered, whose stories are told and whose voices are elevated,” Zamora said. “We are deeply committed to diversifying the ranks of journalism — both through the stories we tell and through the women leading our organization.”

Among the members of The 19th’s founding team:

Emily Ramshaw, co-founder and CEO of The 19th, was previously editor-in-chief of The Texas Tribune, an award-winning nonpartisan digital news startup and the nation’s most successful business model for local news. Ramshaw began her career at The Dallas Morning News and serves on the board of the Pulitzer Prize.

Amanda Zamora, co-founder and publisher of The 19th, spent nearly two decades as a digital editor, product manager and audience strategist at newsrooms including ProPublica and The Washington Post. Most recently, she was the chief audience officer at The Texas Tribune.

Johanna Derlega, chief revenue officer at The 19th, most recently launched Broad Branch Strategies, a consultancy focused on revenue and communications. She previously oversaw revenue efforts, events and marketing as publisher of The Hill and senior vice president at National Journal.

Errin Haines, editor-at-large of The 19th, was previously the national writer on race for The Associated Press. She’s an award-winning journalist with nearly two decades of reporting experience, including at The Los Angeles Times, the Orlando Sentinel and The Washington Post.

Andrea Valdez, editor-in-chief of The 19th, was formerly the editor-in-chief of the Texas Observer, editor of WIRED.com and editor of Texas Monthly’s website. She’s the author of How to be a Texan: The Manual.

The 19th will be headquartered in Austin, Texas, and its employees will live and work across the country. The news organization is currently hiring for 17 additional positions and offering benefits that include six months of paid family leave for new parents.

“It’s been almost a century since our namesake 19th Amendment to the Constitution made voting a right regardless of one’s sex. It took another four decades, well into the civil rights movement, for women of color to attain that same right,” Ramshaw said. “The asterisk in our logo reminds us of that fact, and invites our readers to join us in learning more about the work that remains to ensure all women have the fact-based, nonpartisan news and community they need to pursue equal footing.”

Individuals who want to learn more about The 19th’s new nonprofit newsroom can sign up to receive updates and become founding members at www.19thnews.org. They can also follow The 19th on Twitter at @19thnews.

Members of The 19th's founding team include: Amanda Zamora, co-founder and publisher; Errin Haines, editor-at-large; Andrea Valdez, editor-in-chief; Emily Ramshaw, co-founder and CEO; Johanna Derlega chief revenue officer

“Mexicali Resiste” Fights For Water Rights Against Constellation Brands Compromising Quality Of Life In Baja, California

January 26, 2020

MEXICALI, Mexico, Jan. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Alcohol Justice is reporting that Mexicali Resiste and other allies and partner activists will march in protest of Constellation Brands at the Vicente Guerrero Monument.

WHAT: A march will take place to protest the factory of U.S Alcohol Corporation, Constellation Brands. Mexicali Resiste has organized this march to defend common welfare of water as a natural resource. “We do not consider it is just that a corrupt corporation #ConstellationBrands is given preference over the needs of the citizens of Baja California: Tijuana, Ensenada, Tecate and Rosarito. Currently these cities go weeks without water or have water rationed. If we don’t do anything about this, this will also happen in Mexicali. If there is a surplus of water, as the governor maintains, why is there such a scarcity in Baja California Cities?” #BoycottConstellationBrands “This is a prime example of Big Alcohol putting profits over people, of exploiting a vulnerable population for corporate profit and shareholder value,” stated Mayra Jimenez, Advocacy Manager at Alcohol Justice. “The indigenous people are literally dying of thirst and all Constellation cares about is stealing their water, then making and selling beer. It is despicable.”

WHEN: Sunday, January 26, 2020, 11 A.M.

WHERE: Vicente Guerrero Monument, Boulevard Adolfo López Mateos, Industrial, 21010 Mexicali, B.C., Mexico

WHO: Mexicali Resiste, allies and partner activists.

WHY: Since January 2017, Mexicali Resiste has maintained a strong opposition to the Constellation Brands factory that would consume 20 million cubic meters of water annually from the Valley of Mexicali. Mexicali Resiste has not stopped protesting against this corporation establishing their factory in a desert region that has an over-exploited aquifer that is fed by the Colorado River that suffers serious water shortages in serious drought issues in Tijuana, Tecate, Rosarito and Ensenada. #BoycottConstellationBrands #FueraConstellationBrands @MexicaliResiste @AlcoholJustice

Benefits of fetal surgery to repair spina bifida persist through school age, NIH study finds

January 24, 2020

BETHESDA, Maryland, Jan. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Children as young as 6 years old who underwent fetal surgery to repair a common birth defect of the spine are more likely to walk independently and have fewer follow-up surgeries, compared to those who had traditional corrective surgery after birth, according to researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health. Their study appears in Pediatrics.

The procedure corrects myelomeningocele, the most serious form of spina bifida, a condition in which the spinal column fails to close around the spinal cord. With myelomeningocele, the spinal cord protrudes through an opening in the spine and may block the flow of spinal fluid and pull the brain into the base of the skull, a condition known as hindbrain herniation.

In 2011, the Management of Myelomeningocele study, funded by NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), found that by 12 months of age, children who had fetal surgery required fewer surgical procedures to divert, or shunt, fluid away from the brain. By 30 months, the fetal surgery group was more likely to walk without crutches or other devices.

For the current study, NICHD-funded researchers re-evaluated children from the original trial when they were 6 to 10 years old. Of the 161 children who took part in the follow-up study, 79 had been assigned to prenatal surgery and 82 had been assigned to traditional surgery. Children in the prenatal surgery group walked independently more often than those in the traditional surgery group (93% vs. 80%). Those in the prenatal surgery group also had fewer shunt placements for hydrocephalus, or fluid buildup in the brain (49% vs. 85%), and fewer shunt replacements (47% vs. 70%). The group also scored higher on a measure of motor skills.

The two groups did not differ significantly in a test measuring communication ability, daily living skills, and social interaction skills.

“Prenatal surgery for myelomeningocele carries benefits and risks, compared to traditional postnatal surgery,” said Menachem Miodovnik, M.D., of the NICHD Pregnancy and Perinatology Branch. “This study provides important information for physicians with patients who are considering prenatal surgery.”

The study was conducted by Amy Houtrow, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Pittsburgh, and colleagues.

TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Like a time machine transporting viewers back to an earlier era, the newest videos in the Honda Kokoro™ series take visitors on a virtual visit to original style Honda showrooms of the 1960s and ’70s, as seen at the Mungenast Classic Automobiles & Motorcycles Museum. The Honda Kokoro™ video series celebrates the heritage, culture, people and products that make Honda unique. “Kokoro” means “heart” in Japanese.

This year, Honda is marking 50 years of automobile sales in America and the Mungenast family is an integral part of the brand’s American legacy. The Mungenast museum was established by the late Dave Mungenast, Sr., who became a Honda motorcycle dealer in St. Louis, MO, in 1965, and went on to establish a Honda auto dealership and one of the first Acura dealers in the U.S., in 1986. The Mungenast Automotive Family continues to operate all three dealerships in St. Louis.

The two-part video based on the Mungenast museum, tells the story of the relationship between Dave Sr. and his family with the Honda brand and includes a focus on both Honda automotive history and motorcycle history, through the products and memorabilia housed at the museum. The two videos include:
