GALVESTON, TX -- Two people have been indicted by a Galveston County Grand Jury on charges related to cyberbullying and the suicide of 18-year old Brandy Vela in November 2016. Vela, who was a senior and Texas City High School, had complained to her family of online torment and harassment through threatening phone calls and fake online social media accounts. On Nov. 29, the weekend after Thanksgiving, Vela stood in her bedroom with a handgun pressed to her chest, and pulled the trigger as her family pleaded with her to put the gun down. She died on her way to Clear Lake Regional Hospital. Andres Arturo Villagomez, 21, Vela’s former boyfriend and Karinthya Sanchez Romero, 22, who is Villagomez current girlfriend, were arrested Thursday by Texas City Police Investigators. Villagomez is accused of publishing nude photos of Vela and is charged with unlawful disclosure or promotion of intimate visual material,a Class A Misdemeanor, and is being held on a $2,500 bond. If he is convicted, he faces a year in jail and a $4,000 fine. Romero is charged with stalking and online impersonation, both of which are felonies, and is being held on a $20,000 bond. According to Romero’s indictment, she made threatening anonymous phone calls to Vela, and stalked her online. If she is convicted, she faces up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 for each charge. Texas City Police are still investigating this case.

[quote url="http://www.todayonline.com/lifestyle/how-travel-very-tight-budget" host="www.todayonline.com" title="How to travel on a (very tight) budget" description="SINGAPORE — Isabel Leong is barely 23 years old, and she has already travelled to more than 105 cities in 30 countries — mostly on her own dime.And now, the Singaporean hopes that by sharing her travel tips and experiences, students here, especially those who are cash-strapped, will be motivated to go out and see the world.“(Travelling) opens up their minds about the possibilities of the future. A lot of young people (like me) are lost about their life direction, and going out there and being exposed to different people and their life stories can give them some insight,” Leong said in an interview with TODAY. “There are a lot of soft skills to learn as well, including adaptability, independence, social skills and intercultural knowledge.”Leong started supporting her own travel adventures in 2013, beginning with the usual destinations like Bali and Phuket, and then eventually heading off the beaten path to smaller cities and towns around the world, like Cambodia’s Kampot province and Cantabaco in the Philippines. In 2015, she went on a student exchange programme in Rouen, France, where she began travelling around Europe in earnest. Since 2013, she has been to 64 cities in 16 countries.To fund her exploits, she worked part-time for about four to five hours a week to pay for her own food and transport, and saved whatever she could to fund her travels.“I became financially independent after junior college. There was an eight-month break after I graduated from junior college until school started in university. I took the time to explore different occupations and what I liked. I did everything from admin work to telemarketing to being a camp instructor,” said Leong, who recently graduated from Singapore Management University. She now runs a travel blog on student and budget travel called belaroundtheworld.com, which she set up last year.“That was when I found out the importance of saving up. When I was in university, I also worked as a gym instructor, training clients part-time while juggling my studies.”Leong also became an expert at travelling on a tight budget, spending less than S$7,000 over three months travelling to 15 countries in Europe. She kept a mental meal budget of about S$10 per day whenever she travelled, and stocked up on apples to keep herself from going hungry.Instead of staying at expensive hotels, she also chose to couch-surf, which allowed her to stay with a host for free in exchange for prepacked bak kwa (barbecued pork) or a Singapore magnet. And even though most of her couch-surfing experiences have been positive, one particular incident in France taught her to be more judicious about her choice of hosts.“As a beginner in couch-surfing, I wouldn’t select solo male hosts. There was one time I was in the south of France, in Nice, I couch-surfed with a guy. He expressed designs and it was quite scary. I tried to make up emergency plans in case he went overboard, but luckily I held my (ground) and he didn’t pursue it any further,” she said, adding that the host had started getting “uncomfortably” close to her, and had even offered to let her snuggle with him on his bed.“I was constantly talking to my friends at home — but not my family because they would be worried sick — in case anything happened they would know what happened. It deterred me from couch-surfing, but I still went on after that, mostly with families or couples, though.” Here are Leong’s three other tips for young travellers: BRING YOUR STUDENT CARD“This is one very valuable tip, because museums and even train tickets offer cheaper student ticket deals, especially in Europe. Sometimes you even get to go to museums for free.” DON’T BE OSTENTATIOUS“A lot of students, when they travel, are very worried about whether they would get pickpocketed. What I tell them is to try not to be too ostentatious about their belongings. Keep your bags zipped and don’t wear expensive-looking watches. They also talk about not putting your wallets at the back of your pocket, and that is also true because I have had instances where people were feeling my butt for stuff on a very packed train in Prague.” BE BOLD“If you are thinking about whether to do (something), just go and do it. You are only visiting a place once and you don’t want to leave with regrets. One of the boldest things I have done was to go bungee jumping in Phuket. My friend and I were (hesitant) at first, but we decided, what could we lose? Since then I’ve been (braver) about adventure (travel).”" type="article" thumbnail="http://www.todayonline.com/sites/default/files/styles/og_images_meta_property/public/photos/43_images/28378992.JPG?itok=zvAM4kZP" k="53326aa173"]

Singapore is South East Asia’s most prosperous city and smallest nation by land area. In recent years, newly developed mega-attractions and casino driven integrated resorts had transformed this “all work” economic powerhouse into one of the region’s most popular destinations for leisure travel.

Because of its compact size, Singapore is very easy to travel and generally safe. It is a top choice for first-time international travel, family trips, and those seeking to indulge in metropolitan luxuries. While costs are significantly higher than the rest of Southeast Asia, a lot of people continue to visit Singapore because of its unique and top-notch attractions that cater to almost every type of traveler.

I honestly didn’t expect to travel to Singapore as often as I have, considering the high number of seemingly more “exotic” and adventurous destinations elsewhere in the region. Singapore was just too irresistibly accessible with so many direct flights to other cities all over the region as well as convenient land crossing to Kuala Lumpur, another popular international gateway, in Malaysia. Singapore was a worthwhile jump-off point to Southeast Asia and a fitting “last stop” for indulging in urban comforts before the journey home.

Top Things to See and Do

Merlion Park — Pretty hard to miss anyway because of its prominent location at the mouth of the Singapore River. Not only could you get a good photo with the Merlion statue, Singapore’s most iconic monument, but there are amazing views to be seen of the Singapore Skyline, Marina Bay Sands, The Esplanade: Theatres by the Bay, and the Singapore Flyer.

Singapore Riverside and Civic District — this relaxing promenaded riverside area is a short walk away from the Merlion Park. Take a stroll down memory lane and get acquainted with the city’s early development and colonial history. A happening nightlife scene can be experienced at Clark and Boat Quay. Chinatown — Experience Singapore’s multi-cultural diversity by taking a walking and food tour of Chinatown. Visit a church, a mosque, Indian and Chinese temples all in one walk. Go on a food adventure and try dishes from Singapore’s different cultural influences at affordable hawker centers of Chinatown.

Marina Bay — Marvel at Singapore’s new urban cape by taking a walk around Marina Bay. Visit Marina Bay Sands, the Helix Bridge, Singapore Flyer, and Esplanade: Theatres on the bay. Amazing overlooking views can be seen from the sky park of Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Flyer.

Gardens by the Bay — an ambitious project set to transform Singapore from a “Garden City” to a “City in a Garden.” The main attractions here are the 25 towering man-made Super trees and two equally extraordinary bio domes.

Singapore Zoo — an impressively maintained zoo where you can find a wide array of animals from around the world. The River Safari is also worth checking out.

Sentosa Island — spends a fun day on rides and themed attractions or relax at the beaches of Sentosa. The island is home to Universal Studios Singapore, the first theme park of its kind to open in Southeast Asia and the second in Asia after Universal Studios Japan.

1. Resources -Enough to go around

Cats often NOT like to share-picture a furry two-year-old! Is actually important to ensure that items like food and drinking water bowls, litter boxes, toys and games, scratching posts, and comfy nesting places don't become grounds for war. Too few resources can guide to aggressive behaviors, such as dominant cats blocking access to food, and some of your felines going hungry, or "going" outside of the litter box, which in turn can cause hard-to-change bad practices!



2. Social Life-Setting the stage for success

Cats are amazingly adaptable when it comes to entering a brand new family. While holding onto its instincts as a solitary hunter, your kitty will, in time, form complex-and sometimes unexpected-bonds with various members of its new family. Over time, we adopted four new pet cats while stationed in Singapore, through the area Humane Modern society. Two cats were already bonded, and didn't want anything to do with the third little one when she arrived; picture lots of hissing through doors, with some really hostile yowling! One day we came home to THREE cats all cuddled together in a major couch.

3. Introducing a New Cat... Slower is better!

It is simple to WOULD LIKE to rush things when you bring a brand new feline or kitten home. It can always exciting to integrate a new family fellow member! But a slower launch will really pay back for everybody.

Keep the new cat isolated from your other cats for from one to two weeks (but definitely NOT isolated from its new humans). This will allow your other cats to be accustomed to the new cat's smell, and allow your new cat to absorb some of the new household smell. Your cat's sense of odor is ultra-sensitive, and a foreign smell in the environment could trigger negative or aggressive behaviors. interaction-supervised, of course. How long will each stage take? Every cat dynamic is different. Some cats just love every person immediately.

4. Human population Density-How many cats are too many?

The people density for cats in city areas is much higher than those found in nature, but you still need to BE REALISTIC about how precisely many cats can be happily accommodated in your home. Kitties take time, attention, and money. Two cats are actually better than one, so no person is lonely when the people are away from home. Every single home is different; we're happy with around 4-5 cats. The number of neighborhood (outdoor) cats, which is often seen through the windows, also needs to be taken into mind, before increasing your own cat human population.

5. Hiding Places-Everybody needs some quiet time!

Once in a while-just just like you! - your cat would like some alone time-AND some climbing space. This is more importantly when ther is more than one feline in the hosue. To create cozy cave area, I like to leave some cat crates here and there, with open up doors and a soft drape over the top (the local thrift store is the spot to find CHEAP knitted afghans, purrfect for crate liners and nesting places. Draping an afghan over a chair makes another type of cozy cave. If your budget permits, carpeted cat stands that cats can climb and hide in are a great option

6. Spay and Neuter Your Pets

When you have more than one cat, it is even MORE important that everyone is spayed or neutered! Spaying or neutering your cats will help control aggressive behavior and help them lead longer, more healthy lives. Period.
