Over the years, we've helped many investors reach their income property goals. A while back, a retiree from out-of-state wanted to invest in Texas properties, so he contacted us through our online form to set up a meeting. He interviewed several property managers in the Dallas area before making a decision. In the end, he decided to go with LEAP Property Management.
Our investor was impressed with our personal approach. We gave him our undivided attention during the meeting and proved we could offer the same undivided attention to his properties.
In his words, some of the other property managers he met with were too distracted by phone calls or walk-in traffic to give him one-on-one attention. This is the reason we stress not going with a one or two man property management team. Small, understaffed offices (like the ones our investor encountered) are spread too thin to manage your property effectively.
Our investor also liked the transparency of our business model, our knowledge and competitive pricing structure.
We don't have contracts or termination fees and we take the time to study the market. We didn't just hand him a list of properties to choose from. Instead, we handpicked properties that met his income criteria and our criteria for properties that we're willing to manage. We're highly selective in the investments we choose to take on even if it means we miss out on commission.
Often we turn down managing properties due to their condition, locations and if an owner doesn't want to invest any more money. Our goal is to set us both up for success.
We helped our investor through the entire process of acquiring his properties. We were right by his side as he prepared them for the market, then we listed the properties, found tenants, screened them and moved them in.
We collected rent promptly to make sure our investor was paid on time. He was so pleased with the seamless process from start to finish that he came back to us excited to make more property investments. In fact, over the course of two years he bought eight houses with our help and he's referred our management company to his family members.
Each of the investor's properties continue to meet his investment goals – and it's no fluke. The success of his properties comes from our careful examination of his goals and the market conditions. We did our due diligence to ensure each of his properties could generate the cash flow that he set out to make from the very start.
Helping an investor find a property is only the beginning of our partnership. We've structured our business model in a way that we're not incentivized by home sale commissions. We don't try to sell investors on the first house they see to make a profit from the sale. Our mission is to match the right property with the right investor and that's why our retiree continues to have prosperous properties in the Dallas area.

This sweet couple's love story began through a camera lense as Attila filmed an album release party for local band, Them Hounds, where he caught the attention of one of the pretty singers (you guessed it, it was Erin!). Erin and Attila's artsy and classic wedding showcased beautiful blooms, stunning scenery, posh rentals and all things lovely in between! Inspired by jewel tones and mother nature, Erin chose a color palette of gold, sea foam green and burgundy. These hues perfectly complemented the botanical atmosphere, as did her breathtaking Maggie Sottero champagne silk gown. Erin radiated pure beauty as she so effortlessly sported the gown's plunging neckline, flowing skirt and delicate beading. Moliere Bridal House sure knew what they were doing when they sold her this beauty! Ruby's Vintage Rentals provided the perfect pieces to decorate their superb setting. Box Talent Agency kept the party going while their live band, Smooch, had guests on the dance floor all night long. Special thanks to Emerson Events for supplying fabulous florals and wedding planning expertise and Ely Fair Photography for capturing every moment of this wondrous wedding!

REFILE-GLOBAL MARKETS-Asian shares up as 'phase one' trade deal boosts confidence
Andrew Galbraith
(Corrects typo in second bullet point)
* MSCI Asia ex-Japan +0.27%
* Chinese, Japanese shares fall on profit taking, investor caution
* Investors welcome trade deal but await details
* Asian stock markets: tmsnrt.rs/2zpUAr4
By Andrew Galbraith
SHANGHAI, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Asian shares moved higher on Monday as investors welcomed a trade agreement between Beijing and Washington over the weekend, but enthusiasm was capped by lingering scepticism about the deal and ongoing relations between China and the United States.
U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on Sunday said a deal was "totally done", notwithstanding some needed revisions, and would nearly double U.S. exports to China over the next two years.
That helped push the MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan, which had touched its highest level since April 24 on Friday, up 0.27%.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 led the way as it jumped 1.24%, while shares in Taiwan and South Korea added about 0.1%.
But Chinese investors had a more tepid reaction, pulling the benchmark Shanghai Composite index down 0.16% as investors took profits following a 1.8% gain on Friday.
The small decline came despite data showing the country's industrial output growth and retail sales jumped more than expected in November.
Japan's Nikkei 225 also succumbed to profit-taking, easing 0.14% after surging 2.55% to a 14-month closing high on Friday.
The "phase one" agreement suspended a threatened round of U.S. tariffs on a $160 billion list of Chinese imports that was scheduled to take effect on Sunday. The United States also agreed to halve the tariff rate, to 7.5%, on $120 billion worth of Chinese goods.
Ryan Felsman, senior economist at CommSec in Sydney, said the deal was a positive factor in the market, but investors awaited further details. The reduction in U.S. tariffs may have also disappointed some investors looking for more aggressive action, he added.
"Certainly there were expectations perhaps that the rollback would be more significant than just 50%," he said.
The 17-month-old trade dispute has between the world's two largest economies has roiled financial markets and taken a toll on world economic growth.
"The announcement is a step in the right direction for the two nations, but does not completely reduce the chances of trade disputes between the two nations in the year," ANZ analysts said in a morning note.
U.S. shares had struck a cautious note on Friday, paring initial gains to end barely higher as weary investors awaited signs of a concrete deal.
However, the news of a deal was still enough to send the S&P 500 to a record closing high of 3,168.8, up 0.01%. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.2% to end at 8,734.88, also a record, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.01% to 28,135.38.
U.S. Treasury yields moved higher on Monday, reflecting a more positive mood. Benchmark 10-year Treasury notes rose to 1.84% compared with its U.S. close of 1.821% on Friday and the two-year yield touched 1.6201% compared with a U.S. close of 1.604%.
The dollar was flat against the yen at 109.36 and the euro was up 0.07% at $1.1128. Sterling, which jumped last week after the UK general election produced a strong Conservative majority, gained 0.29% to $1.3363.
The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six major rivals, was down 0.07% at 97.108.
Oil prices, which had risen on Friday following the deal, cooled in early Asian trade on Monday. Brent crude shed 0.29% to $65.03 per barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was down 0.33% at $59.87 per barrel.
Spot gold prices fell 0.09%, with the precious metal trading hands at $1,474.19 per ounce. (Reporting by Andrew Galbraith; Editing by Sam Holmes and Lincoln Feast.)

10,000BC
I took the family out to watch Roland Emmerich's latest epic – "10,000BC". Forewarned not to expect accurate history, I found the film quite enjoyable. But after seeing it I was piqued into checking up the facts. So here:
Mammoths became extinct with the passing of the ice age. But there were isolated herds in certain places like Alaska right up to the 10th millennium BC. No, they weren't used to haul building materials.
Early Egyptian pyramid, Saqqara
The pyramids looked Egyptian, but that civilization only stretches back to 3000BC. The Sumerians also built pyramids; their civilization goes back to 6000BC.
The houses of the black tribesmen that first helped D'Leh, the protagonist and his band of rescuers were rectangular. Dwellings at that time were only just about to make the transition from round to square.
from wikipedia.org
The saber-tooth tiger? Yes it was around in 10,000BC.
The really interesting thing that was happening at that time was the emergence of agriculture and the sedentary lifestyle. This was the time of the Natufian civilization which started from about 12,500BC. Erstwhile hunter-gatherers discovered edible wild grasses and harvested them. They built the first houses, round and partly underground. At first the clusters of houses were probably base-camps, but later they became villages. Harvesters of wild grasses became farmers.
From "Stories From the Stone Age"
According to one theory, what nudged this transformation was climate change:
"Researchers now believe a bitterly cold and arid cold snap, called the Younger Dryas, caused the rapid return of the northern Eurasian ice.
The Younger Dryas hit in the middle of the Natufian period and it lasted for nearly 1500 years (11,000BC to 9,500BC), but flipped back almost as suddenly to near today's climate conditions.
Immediately after good environmental conditions returned, at the end of the Younger Dryas, those Natufian communities who had survived led to a dramatic new development — the sudden appearance of bigger villages, built by communities who were experimenting with cultivation on a much larger scale.
From around 10,000 years ago, in various regions of the Fertile Crescent in the Middle East, a strong momentum towards permanent settlement and agriculture occurred…"

The First Trailer for Marvel's Long-Awaited Solo 'Black Widow' Film Is Here
It'll be only the second Marvel Cinematic Universe film focused solely on a female character.
By Sarah Ward
UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 — Black Widow has moved its release date again, and will now hit cinemas on Thursday, April 29, 2021. This article has been updated to reflect that change.
UPDATE, APRIL 4: Disney has announced a new release date for Black Widow, with the film now hitting cinemas on November 5, 2020.
UPDATE, MARCH 18: Due to concerns around COVID-19, Disney has announced that Black Widow will no longer release on its initially scheduled date of Thursday, April 30, 2020. At present, a new release date has not been announced — we'll update you when one has been revealed.
To find out more about the status of COVID-19 in Australia and how to protect yourself, head to the Australian Government Department of Health's website.
Over the course of 23 films in 12 years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown into a big-screen behemoth. Just this year, Avengers: Endgame became the biggest worldwide box office hit of all time — and all three other Avengers films also sit in the global top ten, with Black Panther coming in at number 11. Basically, the MCU has become the Thanos of the cinema world, decimating its competition with ease. But, over all that time, all those movies and all that success, it has taken nearly a decade to give Black Widow her own standalone film.
When it comes to pushing women to the front, the MCU's track record isn't great. As everyone knows, Captain Marvel, the Disney-owned company's first movie solely focused on a female character, only came out this year. Now Marvel is following that up with a film that really should've eventuated years ago — Natasha Romanoff, the highly trained ex-KGB assassin known as Black Widow and played in the MCU by Scarlett Johansson, first debuted on-screen in 2010's Iron Man 2 after all.
Perhaps it's a case of better late than never. Perhaps, if Black Widow had been made earlier, it mightn't have attracted the extra scrutiny that's certain to follow given Johansson's track record when it comes to misguided public comments of late. Either way, thanks to Endgame, the film is obviously a prequel — as the just-dropped first teaser trailer makes plain.
Also starring Florence Pugh (Midsommar, Fighting with My Family), Rachel Weisz and Stranger Things' favourite David Harbour, Black Widow jumps back a few years, setting the bulk of its story just after the events of 2016's Captain America: Civil War. On the run, Romanoff is forced to face her complicated (and violent) past, as well as a new masked opponent. We're sure a few familiar MCU faces will also show up.
When it hits cinemas Down Under at the end of April 2021 — after a year delay due to COVID-19 — Black Widow will close a considerable gap for the MCU in more ways than one — not only will it finally give one the Avengers figure a solo moment to shine, but it'll mark the first Marvel film since mid-2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Behind the scenes, the movie boasts another reason to get excited, with Australian filmmaker Cate Shortland (Berlin Syndrome, Lore, Somersault) in the director's chair. And, she's actually the first female filmmaker to helm a Marvel flick solo (after Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck co-helmed Captain Marvel).
Check out the Black Widow trailer below:
After being delayed from its original release date of April 30, 2020, Black Widow will now open in Australian cinemas on April 29, 2021.

Though I was looking forward to a lucky bag of a FUJIMI model at New Year, there seem to be no sale schedules for the New Year's in 2016, and it's very regrettable. Though stock increased, I wanted to buy it this year. Anyway the person concerned of FUJIMI seems to rest sufficiently at the New Year's holiday.
I had stocked this Trumpeter Germany army artillery set for five years. I buuilt the heavy howitzer the other day, so I have begun to make this one. The figure set price has been rising recently, how about the quality.
The mold is not clear carving. I improve a little if I sharpen it with a design knife here and there. Because the hollow around eyes is emphasized as for the molding of the face, I wonder it is easy to paint.
These two crews take off a jacket and are the pose of only wearing their shirts.
This kit includes the complicated parts connection figure.
I have a pain in my throat from yesterday, and both the nose and the eyes have bad condition. Possibly does cedar pollen fly now? The person with hay fever may get a symptom early this year because Japan is warm. The filing of the howitzer shell, it takes time because there are many numbers and size is very small.
Though the mass production of the shell was already experienced at the last German howitzer kit, a further number is attached to this kit… It can be said it is the equal volume as the figures. It's interesting that there are four kinds of shells.
Everybody except the commander do not attach a water bottle and a duffle bag, the personal thing including the ammunition pouch. They seem to be light clothes for not disturbing operation of a gun.
This is the soldier who holds a shell and holding his ears to protect from the air blast of the explosion. I had a dull mold impression when I built the Trumpeter's modern American infantry before. Maybe this manufacturer's figure is like that quality. Although, I like the Trumpeter models of AFV and aircraft kits for the sharp mold.
I think I'll draw the base of a shell having gold belt. AFV Club package was certainly like that, but I'm not sure whether this is the correct answer.
Now I'm attaching the string of a helmet and gap covering with the putty.
I cover a place, leaving gold with masking tape in a belt.
I blew the shells and helmets in field gray.
The each figure is an active pose.
At first, I blew all colors by airbrush, now drawing the detailed parts and all the surface was repainted in oil painting at all.
This gloss effect was cleared after blowing matte paint. Now I'm painting small belt and other badges.
An artillery crew set of the heavy howitzer and the accessory equipment have been completed. Unfortunately, it did not become the finish to my satisfaction.
It is a gunner of shell and gun powder tube puts it in the Chamber.
The loading stick looks very good.
Though the painting of the face is difficult, the round seal of the cap is more difficult which is small rounds of black white and red.
I felt it's fresh that the soldier who took off a jacket and a belt, it's a rare motif.
It is a soldier holding a shell. This soldier does not put the hem of the pants in his boots. It's like wearing jeans.
I drew a little rusty on his helmet.
After all the mold of the face is important. I think this is also good, but it's difficult to paint.
It is a soldier holding a canister. This figure's parts component was a lot and tiny.
They worked on the ground, so I attached mud and dirt on the crew's boots and pants.
There are a lot of mats to put the shells. This is the soft material like the rubber caterpillar of Dragon Models. The mold is real.
There is a sense of reality very much in this way when I pile it up and display it.
This soldier will protect his ears from a blast. It seems to run away from a howitzer.
The figure is lightly dressed, wearing a work shirt and pants.
These six figures, this one is comparatively nice painting of the face, since it is the pause which looked down and expression is invisible.
Though I do not fit this figure to the measurement device of the howitzer perfectly, I think it's matched to the howitzer.
This kit is hollow-eyed, and it's very difficult to paint. It is enough just to make a black shadow. It is easier to paint the Dragon Models figure.
He's an artilleryman, so the shoulder insignia was trimmed in the red line.
Though I wanted to put the shadow, there is a place which has just a black dirt.
Even if a uniform was splayed by airbrush, I had to retouch the details. It's difficult to make the same color in oil painting.
My painting method, I feel that something is wrong fundamentally. I will think a little more.
When it's joined with the heavy howitzer, it's vivid.
The appearances will be better when I make the ground. But in fact, I'm not interested in a diorama for the moment. I like seeing the work of other modeler diorama works.
Change the layout a bit from a different angle.
The figures are needed much effort. Many accessories rather than a figure were made this time, so I paid attention not to lose of a small part. Only a cannon is cool, but I think such one is also fascinating.

Our Newest Intern Enjoys The Quirkiness Within OK K.O. Let's Play Heroes
nygcc / February 15, 2018
By Ronald Gordon
Is the latest move from TV cartoon mayhem to videogame artfulness a hit or a miss? OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes, which I played on the Xbox One, is an action-adventure arcade style beat 'em up game based on the Cartoon Network show OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes. And it works.
The show's art style is unique and you can see that the writers have fun with it. Sometimes it can be cartoon-like and silly, then it can be detailed and serious. The writing is something the creators have fun with in many ways. The characters even pronounce words differently like the way they say "Videos Game" instead of "Video Games." It's silly wordplay like that which makes you really appreciate the show's creators. The show was originally based on a successful 2013 pilot called "Lakewood Plaza Turbo" that Cartoon Network aired that came into full view for fans in August, 2017. From then on, it only took a few months for the game to later come out this past January, and both have been doing well since. (OK K.O. was developed by Capybara Games and is available on the Xbox One, PS4, and Microsoft windows.)
The plot surrounds the Pow Card Factory which has started making new Holofoil Pow Cards that allow the person with said card to summon a hero from anywhere to help them out. These cards come with their hero's special ability, called a Powie Zowie (It' twee, I know, but it gets weirder). Every hero's Powie Zowie is different and can be used differently in different situations. Some heroes offer attacks that help clear out enemies and others offer powerups and buffs to help tip the scales for the person in need. One of my personal favorites is Silver Spark's Powie Zowie which is just her delivering a hard combo to the enemy. It works really well in taking out most of the opponents.
However, not long after Holofoil cards are introduced, the evil Lord Boxman had bought out the Pow Card factory and proceeded to reset every single hero's levels back to zero. As you can imagine, this was devastating to nearly every hero who had a level….well, except for K.O., of course. Since he didn't have a level, but he still had a Pow Card, K.O. saw what was happening to everyone's levels and took matters into his own hands. From that moment on you get to play as K.O. and find ways to help the other heroes that are scattering around Lakewood Plaza Turbo, a shopping plaza built to sell heroic items to heroic people. This task comes with some heavy opposition as Boxman isn't going to back down easily. So be prepared to fight hard whenever you take on missions.
This game is so much fun, especially for someone like me who loves to play arcade style beat 'em ups! Plus the fact that you get to collect Pow Cards yourself makes it feel like you're a kid again, someone who's spending your hard earned allowance on Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards. I especially love the art style; it reminds me of those shorts that Cartoon Network used to play that were only a couple seconds long but could show so many characters doing so many random things. The music is also wonderfully orchestrated as it can change from lovely background music to retro, arcade-like beats. There's even a loop of K.O. himself beatboxing when you open the menu.
I love how this game relates to the show in so many ways. The developers even took the time to work with the entire original cast. Even the little tidbits that are added to the game get to me — like how all of the achievements you get are ENTHUSIASTICALLY CAPITALIZED or how the character dialogue doesn't match up with the mouth movement (in some cases), just like the good ol' days. This game is also extremely challenging as the battles require a lot of focus and reaction time. If you're not careful you might lose an entire day playing, like I have. Ultimately, it's for anyone who wants a bit of old school hipness mixed with modern sensibility in their gaming lives.
Ronald Gordon is our newest New York Videogame Critics Circle intern via a partnership with the DreamYard Prep School in the Bronx. This is his first story for the Critics Circle.

Are you tired of quickly using up and throwing out too many plastic bottles? People are coming up with many creative ways to use their bottles after drinking 12oz of water or soda, such as this beautiful plastic bottle greenhouse.
Littering is one of the largest problems facing humanity today, it seems we are having trouble living in harmony with the earth. Plastic soda and water bottles are one of the most common items to be littered, both on land and in the sea.
During the 2008 Keep America Beautiful Great American Cleanup, volunteers recovered and recycled 189,000,000 PET plastic bottles that littered highways, waterways and parks. According to the water projects website these bottles take over 1,000 years to bio-degrade, they also produce toxic fumes if incinerated. On top of that issue, only PET plastic bottles can be recycled, 4 out of 5 water bottles end up in the landfills.
Despite these scary numbers there are other ways to recycle, or rather re-purpose all these plastic bottles. Check out this site for some creative ideas.
This greenhouse idea is particularly awesome because you are actually using what would be trash to grow something amazing. So here's the step by step instructions from trash to trees, let's build a plastic bottle greenhouse!
*To be cut to length depending on slope and therefore height of roof.
Get the mini-greenhouse here on Amazon!
Gather heaps of used plastic bottles. The 2 liter bottles are ideal and around 1,500 are needed for a large sized greenhouse.
Wash the bottles and remove the labels. This can be done in a bucket of soapy water. Remove the bottle tops and cut off the bottoms of the bottles with a sharp pair of scissors. Be careful as the scissors and the cut bottles can be sharp. Remember this has to be done up to 1,500 times so can cause blisters and be time consuming.
Fix 4 posts vertically into the ground. Treated 4" x 4" posts cemented a couple of feet into the ground works great. These are for the corners of the greenhouse. Put slabs or mulch around and inside to suppress weeds.
Make a frame for each side, roof, door etc. These are best done with treated 2" x 2" timber made into frames with mitred corners screwed together.
Stack the bottles one inside another with a garden cane supporting them through the middle. At one end reverse a bottle so it faces the opposite way from the rest and fit it inside. This will to make a long tube with the ends of the garden cane sticking out of the tops of the bottles at either end.
Place the bottles and canes onto the frames to be attached at the top and bottom of the frame.
Using fencing staples attach both ends of the cane onto the frame. The frame will keep the bottles squashed up. Staple as many rows as possible until the frame is filled.
The roof can be flat or sloping. If making a sloping roof it is best to make two triangular frames for the gables. Staple bottles onto these frames as before.
Screw the triangular gables to the posts and include a top beam and vertical supports (from the top of the gables to the top of the front and back panels). The sloping sides the roof can be made out of similar panels as the walls. These can then be screwed onto the top beam, gable ends and top of the side panels.
The door can be made of a smaller frame hinged to a larger frame making up the front wall. Make the door smaller than the inside of the frame to allow it to open freely even if it sags.
For a better visual check out this video of a class of young kids giving us the step by step.

Radcot Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England just downstream of Radcot, Oxfordshire, on the southern bank.

The lock was built by the Thames Conservancy in 1892 on the site of an old weir and  flash lock.

The weir is on the other side of the lock island.

History

There was previously a weir on the site known as Clarke's, although the names Becks or Bucks were also used. It was removed in 1868 and the river was widened then.  Proposals for the new pound lock and weir were raised in 1891 and implemented the following year.

With the replacement of the historic paddle and rhymer weir(2013?) a combined fish and canoe pass was constructed, this currently (2018), is the only one of its
type on the entire River Thames.

Access to the lock

The lock can be reached on foot from the southern end of Radcot Bridge, or by road on a longer route via Thrupp Turn. There is however no public vehicular access to the lock.

Reach above the Lock

About halfway along is Radcot Bridge the oldest surviving bridge on the river. The bridge crossing the main channel has a single arch, and was constructed in stone in the late 18th century. The A4095 road which it carries also crosses a backwater, which was once the county boundary between Berkshire and Oxfordshire. The backwater bridge dates from the 13th and 14th centuries, and has three arches, the outer two being pointed, with the central one less so, as a result of later rebuilding.  There is a considerable amount of mooring at the backwaters here. Stone for the rebuilding of St Paul's Cathedral, obtained from local quarries was loaded on rafts near the bridge.

Above Radcot is a sharp bend called "Hell's Turn" or "Hell Gut", and further on a point known as "Schoolmaster's Hole".

The Thames Path, which is on the opposite side of the river from the lock, follows the northern bank to Grafton Lock.

Katie Morag was one of the first books I ever bought for my granddaughters – and how they loved it.
For those of you who don't know Katie Morag, she is a small red-headed girl who lives on the fictional island of Struay, off the west coast of Scotland, where her mum is the postmistress and her dad runs the general store.
Her Granny Island drives a tractor, while her other grandma, Granny Mainland, who is a bit posher, wears hats.
Katie Morag has lovely adventures on her island, so lovely that the gentle, humorous stories have been picked up by the BBC, and are now being televised on Sunday afternoons on Cbeebies.
It's an enchanting watch for children of all ages.
Author, Mairi Hedderwick, who writes and illustrates the books, has magic in her pen.
I have never attempted to write children's stories (except privately for the little people in our family) but this lady is a hero of mine. Her stories take the young reader back to an age of innocence, where adventures were round every corner – and there wasn't an iPad in sight .
Mairi hails from Gourock, on the Clyde coast, but has lived on and off on the island of Coll since 1958 when she was employed as a mother's help to look after the laird's young family.
These lovely children's books, like the one on the right, started life more than three decades ago. After years of earning a living illustrating the books of other authors, Mairi was asked to create a character of her own for a new picture book…and so, Katie Morag was born.
I, for one, am very pleased that she was.

The early Greek rulers did it. And the Roman emperors followed suit: making a royal tour of the provinces, showing the flag, as it were, accepting the plaudits of the crowds at each stop and connecting with the people according to carefully prescribed customs and rituals. The Romans called it the iter principis, the "itinerary of the prince."1 The emperor's arrival at city after city was the adventus, the "advent" or "arrival," marked by a carefully orchestrated ceremony designed to crystallize in the inhabitants' minds what they were supposed to think about their ruler. The iter principis was, in effect, an imperial propaganda machine.

Good Reviews of Bad Books, Woodward Edition
Some day, I hope to visit Noam Scheiber's house so I can see the lovely mahogany breakfront in which he has on display Bob Woodward's spleen, which Scheiber pretty much removes in his review of Woodward's latest doorstop.
That Woodward is a self-important blowhard whose best work was 40 years ago has been pretty well established for quite some time now, but not many people have limned the essential blowhardiness the way that Scheiber does here....
But, in another sense, the book is perfectly in sync with Woodward's oeuvre. There is a body of respectable Washington opinion that considers Obama unworthy of the presidency: he hadn't put in his time before running, didn't grasp the majesty of the office, evinced no respect for the way things were done. He not only won without courting the city's elders, he had the bad manners to keep his distance even after winning. This is the view Woodward distills. Woodward telegraphs his contempt from the get-go. He sets his prologue in 2006 at the annual Gridiron Club dinner, the sort of stuffed-shirt affair Washington journalists spend their early careers dreaming of, and the rest of their careers trying to avoid. The keynote speaker was then-Senator Obama, who joked about how overhyped he was only a year into his term. It sounds like winning shtick, but Woodward, a kind of unofficial mascot at these gatherings, is morose. "Obama had not once mentioned the party or high purpose. His speech, instead, was about Obama, his inexperience, and in the full paradox of the moment, what he had not done," he belches. "Two and a half years later, he was president-elect of the United States." Oooo-kaaay then.
And thus does everyone at The Washington Post eventually turn into Sally Quinn. She's like a social-climbing Borg.
I would quibble a bit with Scheiber's contention that this book is in any way a departure from earlier Woodward andirons. But I can't take issue with the basic premise as outlined above, since I had my own run-in with the great man a few years back, when I was working on a piece about a little boy who died because the Supplemental Security Income program on which his life depended had been devoured by a Beltway feeding frenzy in which Woodward's journalistic malpractice played a key role....
Before she left, however, Porter contacted Bob Woodward, outlining her concerns, which was how Jonathan Stein came to be on the telephone with him. Stein suspected that Woodward was ready to cast Nora Cooke Porter as an embattled whistle-blower and suggested that Woodward might want to check with her superiors in Harrisburg to make sure that he wasn't hanging his story on the office crank. "He berated me," Stein recalls. "How come you're telling me this so late? My reply was that I'd just learned that they were going to use her and that I thought he should know. He just brushed me off, told me it was too late." Woodward declined to comment on this phone conversation. "How long have you been in the business?" he asked me when contacted for this article. "Can you remember everything about a story you did five years ago?"
Since that day, I have relished every small chance I've had to tell Bob Woodward publicly to piss off and die. I'd like to thank Noam Scheiber for providing me with my latest opportunity.

I recently reviewed a 1960 album entitled Piano in the Background which makes a kind of pair with this album. The former CD presented Duke Ellington with his entire orchestra, but this CD presents the Duke in a piano trio setting. You might think that this would put the spotlight closer on Ellington, but most of the album is rather low-key, tending to hide Duke's light under a bushel.
Perhaps this reflects Billy Strayhorn's comment about his long-term colleague: "Ellington plays the piano, but his real instrument is the orchestra". Or it may just be that Ellington was here using understatement instead of performing as if he was an extrovert solo pianist. Whatever the reason, the playing on most on this album is fairly subdued, and the recording doesn't help to put much intensity into the performances. It might have helped if Sam Woodyard's drums were more prominent but they are very much in the background. However, Aaron Bell's bass is clearly miked and this turns many tracks into duo performances between piano and double bass.
As expected, the album shows Duke's heritage in the stride tradition very clearly, with a strong left hand often helping the rhythm along. As with his orchestra, Duke's right-hand comments are often brief, with short but percussive phrases, leaving many breathing spaces. He can also play rhapsodically on tunes like his own composition Fontainebleau Forest and Billy Strayhorn's Lotus Blossom, which he caresses with loving care.
Most tracks are Ellingtonian numbers but he also tackles jazz standards like I Can't Get Started and Summertime. The latter is given an experimental treatment, with stuttering bass and drums plus out-of-tempo piano. It is jagged and almost surreal, with a discordant ending. This is possibly the only track where Duke takes daring liberties with the tune. Mostly he stays close to the melody.
These were by no means Duke's first examples of a willingness to show himself in the glaring light of a piano trio or even duo. His duets with bassist Jimmy Blanton in 1940 are famous, and he recorded in trios in 1945 (with Junior Raglin and Sonny Greer) and 1953 (with Wendell Marshall and Butch Ballard). As bonus tracks, this album adds two trio sessions: some of the 1953 recordings and some from 1957 (with Jimmy Woode replacing Aaron Bell as bassist).
These extra tracks seem more animated than those on the original LP. The two versions of All the Things You Are exhibit Ellington's interest in varied chords, although the bowed bass in the second take seems out of sympathy and out of tune. The Piano Improvisations include an economical piece with a marching beat, an easy-going blues (complete with Woodyard offbeats), and a couple of tracks reminiscent of James P. Johnson.
The last three tracks are also exhilarating, including the finger-clicking Dancers in Love, a pensive Prelude to a Kiss, and a bright In a Sentimental Mood. In some ways this album is disappointing because it shows Duke in a rather less stimulating mode than in Piano in the Background. Yet, being an Ellington recording, it is still worth adding to your collection as an insight into the greatest genius of jazz.

Big win for U14 girls
Mar 14, 2013 at 2:00 AM Mar 14, 2013 at 11:00 PM
There's a song that asks if one knows the way to San Jose.
Contributed Photo
STORMING SAN JOSE – The Cape Cod Storm, a U14 Tier II girls ice hockey team, earned a spot in the U14 Nationals in San Jose, California. Team members include Marissa Anderson, McKenzie Haberl, Caroline Spalt, Hannah Callahan, Emma Callahan, Madison Sollows, Shannon Roycroft, Caroline Peterson, Shannon Upton, Danielle Peterson, Mary Nugnes, Kelley Glennon, Emily Sanidas, Abigail Peterson, Meghan Moore, Danielle Desrosier and Olivia Sollows, along with head coach Tom Peterson and assistant coaches Jeff Sollows and Brett Sanidas.
Hockey team headed to national tourney
There's a song that asks if one knows the way to San Jose. In a matter of weeks the Cape Cod Storm, a U14 Tier II girls ice hockey team, will be there, but not for a sightseeing trip. This team will be battling to win the U14 National Tournament, and if their success in the recent State tourney is any indication, their opponents better watch out.
On March 10 the Storm defeated the East Coast Wizards 3-1 to claim their second State title in three years. The win capped off a thrilling six-game weekend that began with the Storm's 10-0 victory against the South Shore Conquistadors. They then recorded two ties, a 3-3 draw with Assabet Valley and a 1-1 tie with the Wizards to complete regulation play.
In the quarterfinals the Storm played to a 2-1 overtime win against the Bay State Breakers before advancing to the semifinals, where they earned a 3-2 OT win against the North Shore Vipers.
"After the first three rounds we were the second seed in our division," said the team's head coach, Tom Peterson. "After that first big blowout it started getting interesting."
Peterson said that in the final match, his team was determined.
"They got it done," he said.
Because the top two teams received a bid to the U14 Nationals, Peterson said his team's celebration came not after their final match win, but after the semifinals.
"Their big reaction was winning the semifinal game and knowing they were going to San Jose," he said. "You can imagine 14-year-old girls going to California. They were a little happy."
What makes the Cape Cod Storm unique is that the majority of its players come from towns with an age-old rivalry.
"We have eight Barnstable girls, eight Falmouth girls and one Bourne girl," Peterson said.
Despite whatever athletic rivalry exists between the schools, Peterson said his team is united on and off the ice.
"They work hard, they like each other, they get along and they know how to win," he said. "When they're playing together as a Cape team they really come together to take on anyone else. It's a competitive rivalry between Barnstable and Falmouth, but when they're together they enjoy winning as a group."
Peterson's talented young team went into the tournament as the No. 1 seed.
"They were the team to beat and the team to win," Peterson said.
Peterson said that given his team's determination, he believed in their possibilities for success.
"I never had a feeling they couldn't do it," he said. "But when they won the quarterfinal game in overtime, that's when I knew they'd win the tournament."
Now comes the challenge for Peterson and his team: fundraising in preparation for the April Nationals in San Jose, CA.
"We're trying to raise money to send the team out there," Peterson said. "It's an expensive trip, as you can imagine."
Peterson said the last time his team made it this far in the tournament they received tremendous support from the business communities in Falmouth and Barnstable and around the Cape.
Meanwhile, Peterson and his assistant coaches, Jeff Sollows and Brett Sanidas, are excited for their team, which includes Peterson's three daughters, two of Sollows', and one of Sanidas'.
"I feel great about their chances," Peterson said. "I feel they're a very good team. They've beaten some very good teams this year and I think they're ready to really make a run at it."
Donations in support of the Cape Cod Storm's trip to San Jose may be sent to Falmouth Youth Hockey, 9 Technology Park Drive, East Falmouth, 02536.

The Future of Black Nonprofit Power in California
By Jonathan Karp | November 1, 2021
Belle Haven Action CEO Cecilia Taylor celebrates Juneteenth 2021 at the Karl Clark Park Storyboard Unveiling..jpg
Wanted: $100 million for an organization you have never heard of to be given away as unrestricted grants to Black-led California nonprofits that will be named later.
That, in essence, was the founding proposition for the California Black Freedom Fund – and it was audacious in the world of philanthropy, let alone Black philanthropy. But timing is everything. George Floyd had just been killed by Minneapolis police officers, galvanizing nationwide outrage and a surge in support for racial-justice organizations.
Within a few months, the fund secured $32 million in donations and commitments and quickly started putting that money to use. In its first two rounds of grantmaking, the fund disbursed $15 million to 77 organizations working to empower Black community leaders and build grassroots movements to end structural inequities and systemic racism in every sphere of California life, from criminal justice and housing to health and education.
"By investing in Black-led organizations across the state, we think we can turn this moment into a movement," says Cathy Cha, president and CEO of the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund, one of the founding donors.
The idea sprang from talks among Cha and 15 other foundation leaders on the California Executive Roundtable on Philanthropy and Equity, a group that met regularly to discuss ideas for achieving equity in communities throughout the state. As it so happened, the group had a scheduled call shortly after George Floyd's death, and members brainstormed about how to respond collectively.
"I was like, 'Guys, I love this group, but we just talk and don't do anything. I want us to start a fund for Black power building,'" says Lateefah Simon, president of the Akonadi Foundation in Oakland, another founding donor. She wrote a memo proposing a five-year goal of $25 million, undeniably a reach for Black-focused philanthropy.
"That's not enough," Nicole Taylor, who had recently become president and CEO of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF), told the group. "It needs to be $100 million."
Nine figures over five years signaled the fund's ambition to build a sustained campaign to address racial-equity gaps, as well as the so-called "giving gap" – the chronic underinvestment in Black causes. From the beginning, it operated like no other philanthropy. The well-endowed founders invited a diverse group of Black community organizations to co-create the fund and set strategic direction through a formal advisory committee. And, for continuity and simplicity, it decided that each grantee would get a commitment of at least two years and have the freedom to use the money however it wanted – no strings attached.
"It's philanthropy breaking old norms of having to see clear to the end of a project with expectations of what ultimately would happen, and instead investing in an idea while trusting the people involved," says Stuart Burden, SVCF's vice president of corporate and foundation relations. Nonprofits didn't believe it at first, he says, and for funders, "It was a leap of faith to put money into a brand-new entity, not knowing who was going to receive the dollars."
More than two dozen powerful foundations have taken that leap. Among them are The California Endowment, Annenberg Foundation, Google.org, Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, JPMorgan Chase Foundation, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and SVCF, which administers the fund.
African Diaspora Network board member Innocent Shumba of Ernst & Young greets and networks with participants at the African Diaspora Investment Symposium 2020
Underscoring the goal to nurture coalitions across the state, the fund first invested $6.3 million in three Black networks comprising dozens of nonprofits engaged in, respectively, raising participation in the census and redistricting process, advocating for an overhaul of the policing system and strengthening social-justice organizations in a private-public partnership.
For the Black Equity Collective, the $2 million infusion from the fund was a timely endorsement. The network was preparing the launch of its own grantmaking initiative to support criminal justice, education, youth leadership, and healthcare nonprofits in Southern California.
Kaci Patterson, chief architect of the collective, was one of the community leaders involved in the formation of the fund, and she remains involved as a member of its 12-person advisory committee.
"Philanthropy should be shaped by and with the people on the ground," Patterson says. "The California Black Freedom Fund has done that."
In 2021, the fund symbolically announced its launch on February 4, Rosa Parks' birthday. The second round of grants was timed for Juneteenth and delivered nearly $9 million to 74 nonprofits with operating budgets of $1 million or less.
The Hannah Project, which works to boost academic success among low-income youth of color in Marin County, received $200,000. One of the group's priorities is facilitating the state-mandated end to de facto segregation of Sausalito schools. The grant will enable it to hire staff dedicated to advocacy and work toward empowering Black parents to have a bigger voice in community affairs.
"We had been an educational organization, but we're getting involved in advocacy," says Bettie Hodges-Shelmire, the Hannah Project's founder and executive director. "It's a major step that the California Black Freedom Fund treats small community-based organizations with the same respect as large organizations."
In Silicon Valley, the fund is collaborating with philanthropies, tech companies, and Santa Clara University to bolster Black entrepreneurs. Currently, Black startups garner just 1% of venture-capital investment. A $100,000 grant helped the African Diaspora Network launch its Accelerating Black Leadership and Entrepreneurship program. The first cohort of 16 Black businesspeople will receive mentorship and training services.
"We hope to make this program sustainable, to create an ecosystem of entrepreneurs, and the California Black Freedom Fund is an integral part of that," says Debra Pacio, the network's entrepreneurship program and community engagement manager.
Burden, at SVCF, cautions against judging the fund's impact too soon. Using a term more common in business than philanthropy, he calls the grants "patient capital." And the fund itself is a work in progress. One year in, it is more than halfway to its $100 million goal and is hiring dedicated staff to relieve employees delegated from participating foundations.
While the fund aims to help individual nonprofits and create a power-building infrastructure, Burden notes that another goal is to enable funders to learn new ways of engaging with the Black community and incorporate those into their own philanthropy. That dynamic may hold the answer to a question that the CEO Council, comprising several of the original funders, is already contemplating: What becomes of the fund after five years?
"The clear answer is the work must continue, but perhaps not as this entity," Burden says, summarizing a discussion at a recent leadership retreat. "If we take the lessons of how the California Black Freedom Fund has supported Black-led organizations and bring them inside our organizations, that will continue the spirit of this initiative and perpetuate its work."

(November 8, 2017) The Association of California Healthcare Districts (ACHD) is pleased to announce the election of Harry Weis to the Board of Directors. Mr. Weis was approved by ACHD's Board of Directors which filled one of the two vacancies on the Board in early November.
There are currently four active Chief Executive Officers serving on ACHD's Board of Directors. Mr. Weis has served as the Chief Executive Officer for Tahoe Forest Health System since 2015.
Prior to joining Tahoe Forest Health System, Mr. Weis held positions as Vice President of Hospital Finance and Chief Financial Officer for Adventist Healthcare, and Vice President of Operations and Chief Financial Officer for South Coast Medical Center and Affiliates. He has over 39 years of extensive strategy, acquisition, financial and operational experience in the non-profit sector. Mr. Weis is credited with a successful financial turnaround of the County Medical Center, including hospital upgrades and new and improved service lines as well as successful implementation of nearly $50 million in capital investments. Mr. Weis stated "I am excited to serve on ACHD's Board of Directors and apply my hospital experience and administrative expertise to the Board." California Healthcare Districts respond to the specialized health needs of California communities. Voters created 79 Healthcare Districts to fulfill health local care needs. Of these, 54 serve the state's rural areas. Healthcare Districts provide access to essential health services and are directly accountable at the community level. As a result, tens of millions of Californians have been able to access care that would otherwise be out of reach.

Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' - first-look at movie adaptation coming soon
THE DARK TOWER Eying Nikolaj Arcel to Direct | Nerdist ...-nerdist.com
Fans will finally get their first peek into the film adaptation of Stephen King's well-known book series The Dark Tower in October at EW Pop Fest.
August 17, 2016 at 6:41 AM August 17, 2016 at 6:41 AM
As the excitement continues to build over the Sony Pictures film adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower, the good news for fans is that first-look footage from the film will be debuted at the upcoming two-day EW Pop Fest entertainment festival to be held at the Reef in Los Angeles. The festival will be happening from October 29-30 and special guests from the cast of the movie will be there for the event, although no names have yet been mentioned.
Sneak peek at EW Pop Fest
According to Cinema Blend, the long-awaited Stephen King adaptation will star Idris Elba as Roland Deschain, the iconic gunslinger who is hot on the trail of Matthew McConaughey as the sinister "The Man in Black." Filming has been ongoing for some time and locations included Cape Town, South Africa and more recently New York City.
It seems director Nikolaj Arcel now has enough footage to put together the first trailer for the EW Pop Fest. This makes a lot of sense, as Entertainment Weekly has recently been able to offer exclusive details of the movie project.

The story of The Dark Tower
The film The Dark Tower will tell the exciting tale of the last gunslinger, Roland Deschain, as he travels across a post-apocalyptic Mid-World, searching for the Dark Tower in order to save the whole time-space continuum in our universe and others which is currently under threat, as well as pursuing, and being pursued by, that evil sorcerer The Man in Black himself.
We can finally start a countdown for the first #TheDarkTower footage https://t.co/ZfXwnBGUY9 pic.twitter.com/URvqFxgzeq
— Collider News (@ColliderNews) August 15, 2016
The movie adaptation has been a long time coming
As reported by Collider, many have tried to get this project moving before, without success, but finally this adaptation will not, in effect, accurately reflect the story told in the series of The Dark Tower books by Stephen King, but will act more as a sequel to the series.
Other stars in the upcoming movie are Kathryn Winnick (of Vikings fame), Abbey Lee Kershaw (last seen in Mad Max: Fury Road), Fran Kranz, Claudia Kim (Avengers: Age of Ultron), Jackie Earle Haley and Tom Taylor. The film is set for release in theaters on January 13, 2017.
Besides the exciting news about The Dark Tower, several other program highlights are of interest at EW Pop Fest, including a 20th anniversary screening of the terrifying movie, Scream.

← Are You a Goat?
Isn't that also so for some, and our Heavenly Father? Don't we also sometimes feel like yelling because we feel like we are not heard? Is it not like feeling punished, unheard, but in the end find great love for our Father who has always been listening, but gave us a chance to heal our broken heart, and to always love no matter how hard the road may seem, providing us strength to always love no matter what. Isn't this something Jesus also went through? Wasn't he also persecuted because he wasn't heard by those in the world, but he found great strength remained with him, as his love remained in love of God our Heavenly Father. God strengthens us in ways we do not always understand. Love binds us bounded by love.
I too feel beat spiritually but I don't give up, I know change is taking place not just with myself but many others too, such as your father. God hears your heart plead.
very well written! I will pray for your dad. I am currently going through somewhat of a similar and have just become aware of it…. I pray that God helps me with my anger like He did with you.
Thank you SO MUCH for your prayers!!!!! And if God could get me to calmly continue to apologize, to even weep in apology to my father who was doing EXACTLY what I said made me normally yell… God can do that for everyone 🙂 Even if he was shutting me out, it doesn't give me a right to disobey a commandment of God. Let us all have God's strength to be angry but sin not. God doesn't say we can't have emotions, but He does say we must honor our father and mother and yelling at my dad definitely is NOT that.
I love how you share from your heart. Thank you! This is a great message!
My dad has hurt me pretty bad (he hurt our family to be more procise). Although I have forgiven him, that closeness we once shared has gone. I completely am grateful for this post.
Thank you for the encouragement, and I will be sure to read the follow up.
Good post – and you are right, sometimes we need to just apologize, even when we don't feel heard for we are honoring Our Father – God by honoring those on earth. He sees, even if they don't.
Please pray Father God brings restoration to my siblings and mother. Thank You God is Faithful. For God too brought healing to my relationship with dad (former enemy) Praise God of Peace.

Grant will perform at Dollywood's new April concert series, Spring Mix, which features three weeks of concerts from April 11-29. She will sing at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 18, at the park's Celebrity Theater.
The "El Shaddai" singer's performance is part of the Spring Mix's second week, which features inspirational artists. Its first week will have country performers, and its third week will present classic artists. All performances will take place in the park's Celebrity and Showstreet Palace Theaters. For more information, visit dollywood.com or call 1-800-DOLLYWOOD.
Walking 'down memory lane' at Dollywood
Grant's first visit to Dollywood will include two performances, but she said she's excited to experience the park while she's there.

"Well of course. I mean ... my favorite way to enjoy outside is camping and hiking ... I'm happy sitting around a campfire, and so usually when I'm going for an outdoor experience, it's really rustic, and because of that, I love (that) the theme of Dollywood is more that way," Grant said. "But I do like rides, and I've got four kids, so we have been through the gamut of theme parks, so, yeah, I hope the weather's good."

Her performances at the park will feature songs from her four-decade career of contemporary Christian and pop music, according to Grant, who's known for her songs "Baby Baby," "Angels" and others.
She said she will walk down memory lane with the audience.
"Well, I mean I travel with some great musicians, and we will drive up. We'll get on the bus at midnight the night before and sleep in the parking lot probably just like every road dog does, or there might be a room nearby where we'll clean up, and we'll just sing songs," Grant said. "You know, usually when we've done parks like before, there's like a set amount of time and so whatever that time is, we'll just pack it full of songs from the '80s, '90s, 2000s, I mean ... I've made music for four decades, and so, we'll just walk down memory lane."
Grant talks Dolly Parton's charm

While it happened around 40 years ago, Grant can recall a moment when she experienced Dolly Parton's infectious energy on an airplane.
"This was years ago. I think I was in college, and I'm 57, so you know, we're talking nearly 40 years ago, 35, but I remember being in coach in the front row, and she was in first class, but her voice carried down the aisle," Grant said. "You know, there was maybe only three rows of first class, and she just charmed everybody, and that, I don't even know what it is. She just has that rare gift of never having met a stranger, bigger than life. She has enough welcome energy for the whole community, but just to ... be one cabin away, but you could still feel her energy pulsating through that plane."
Grant also worked with Parton during her Smoky Mountains Rise Telethon in 2016 to benefit those affected by the Gatlinburg wildfires that year.
She sang "Tennessee Christmas" with Mac McAnally at the event, joining several celebrities who lent their talents including Kenny Rogers, Cyndi Lauper, Chris Stapleton, Reba McEntire and others.
Grant reflected on her experience at the telethon. She said it was well organized, and everyone worked toward a common goal without egos getting in the way.
"Sometimes people can be demanding or say, 'Or the way I like it is XYZ.' There was none of that going on," Grant said. "I mean all egos were checked at the door. Everyone's personal preferences were checked at the door, and ... that trickle down came from Dolly because she stepped up with a such a huge financial promise, just the way she even presented that was, 'If I have to shoulder this entire financial burden myself, I will, but it would be nice to have some help.'"
Grant prepares for summer day camps
In addition to her shows at Dollywood and a few other spring concerts, Grant is staying busy with camp planning.
Barefoot Republic holds summer day camps at her farm. Children from different cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds attend the camps, where they learn team building and experience nature together.
"It's crazy, but the next couple of months, I will have some opportunities to sing, but it's so much organization, and my close friends will say, 'Don't make eye contact with Amy in March, April or May or she'll ask you to be counselor,'" said Grant, laughing.
More: Vince Gill, Amy Grant bringing 12 nights of Christmas to Ryman in 2018
Grant's been helping with the day camps for years, and she's recruited people to aid her over time.
"I have a lot of friends that I've made through music who are fans of my music. They used to bring me gifts at concerts, and I said, 'If you want to give me gift, come help me help these kids.' And lots of them have over the years," Grant said. "They'll take their vacation week and come and lead hikes or teach a class. It's just been such a great experience in community, and it's the same thing we felt with Dolly's concert. Need is truly what brings us together, and in June, I need all the help I can get."
