Why should I hire Lizzy's Cleaning Services?
Lizzy's Cleaning is a local family-owned & operated company that employs professional cleaners within our community who are passionate about cleaning as we are. We take measures to establish trust and security as well as deliver quality service for all our clients. A survey is sent to our clients periodically to ensure that they are completely satisfied. Every Cleaning Technician that is hired by our company is thoroughly vetted and pass a background check and drug test.
You may schedule a cleaning by visiting our Book Now page and submit the form. We offer a simple flat rate pricing based on the number of bedrooms and baths in your house. You may also call us at 404-720-8282 to discuss your cleaning needs.
A minimum of two uniformed cleaning professionals will arrive at your home to clean. Depending on the size and/or services scheduled, we may send three or four cleaners.
How should I prepare for a home cleaning?
Remove anything that may prevent cleaners from effectively cleaning all surfaces. You'll need to put away your personal belongings and declutter all surfaces to be cleaned before the cleaners arrive.
We love pets, but we want to make sure you get what you paid for instead of paw-sized sud prints on your floor. Please find a safe and secure spot for your pets during your home cleaning.
If you'd like a freshly made bed, please place clean sheets on or near your bed.
What's included in the cleaning?
For a list of what we do and what items will be cleaned please visit here for house cleaning , move in/out cleaning , and office/commercial cleaning.
Will you arrive at a specific time?
Due to the nature of our business, it is not possible to guarantee a specific arrival time. We can experience unforeseen events that are out of our control such as last minute cancellations and delays. Including possible traffic between homes. For this reason we typically provide a one hour window of arrival. We usually send a text message when your cleaners are on the way. It is the client's responsibility to leave a key or access to the property should they need to step out and to avoid a $50 cancellation fee.
Will you bring your own supplies?
Yes. We bring our own cleaning supplies and equipment. We can also use yours if you have specific preferences, please provide these for our team the day of the cleaning and we will be happy to use them as instructed. Extra charges may apply to processes that delay our schedule for that day. For commercial accounts, we will bring cleaning agents and equipment necessary to clean your business properly. Other supplies, such as toilet paper, paper towels, soaps, garbage bags etc. must be provided by the client.
No you don't. Most of our clients actually prefer not to be home when we clean and then come home to a clean and spotless house. Just leave us a key to gain entry and we will take it from there. If you have an alarm system at your home or office it is preferred that your alarm is left off on the day of the cleaning or you may provide a temporary access code.
*** For initial cleanings we recommend clients to try to be home for the first cleaning visit. This allows the home owner to check the cleaning job and provide any feedback for future cleanings.
How do I prevent cleaners from entering certain rooms?
You can communicate this in the special instructions box when you book your service. You can also close the door to any rooms you don't want a cleaner to enter. When your cleaner arrives, please also confirm any rooms you prefer to keep closed.
Should I tip the cleaners for a job well done?
Tipping is not required, but always appreciated. It will be shared equally by your cleaning team. A review expressing your satisfaction on our Facebook page or Yelp, can mean a great deal too.
Our maids are pet friendly, however if they might get in the way of the house cleaning we kindly ask that you secure them while your cleaning is in progress. For sanitary and safety reasons, our teams of residential cleaners are not permitted to clean flea infested homes or pick up animal excrement.
During your initial clean, the team leader will ask you to do a walk-through to make sure everything was cleaned to your satisfaction. If there is any area they missed please inform them so they can take care of it while still there. However if you were not home during the clean, call us within 24 hours, we'll return the next day and re-clean it at no charge. Issues reported days or weeks later cannot be properly assessed and we will not be able to hold our staff accountable in a fair manner. Email us at info@lizzyscleaning.com or call (404) 720-8282.
Are there cleaning tasks cleaners won't or can't do?

The complex linguistic diversity and endemic multilingualism represented in the cohabitating ethnolinguistic populations of Southeast Asia remain poorly understood. Until now, the phenomenon of language contact – whereby the languages of closely interacting communities influence each other's grammatical structures and vocabularies – has not been systematically studied in this region. This ground-breaking project will address significant gaps in our knowledge by documenting four endangered languages while simultaneously exploring four language contact situations in Southeast Asia. The work will produce empirically-based predictive model of language contact that will inform linguistic theory and guide future research in the field, and the grammatical descriptions will preserve the languages for the communities that speak them and research scholars alike.

The importance of training in Defence Forces cannot be over emphasised. In this context, Sri Lanka Air Force felt this necessity of conducting training at all levels most importantly for its middle level Officers right from their formative stage. As there was no proper training establishment geared to take up this challenge, the organization sent only few officers periodically to follow Junior Command and Staff training in foreign countries depending on the availability of placements. However, it was found that most o f their training modules are not as relevant in our context as the training needs are focused to their national security demands. This highlighted the importance of having our own staff training institution within the Air Force. Subsequent to a feasibility study by the Air Force Board of Management, the Junior Command and Staff College was established in March 1999 at China bay, with a view to impart command, staff, leadership and management training to mid level Officers of Sri Lanka Air Force. These disciplines need to be developed among the junior officers to keep abreast of the rapid expansion of the service and to maintain its operational efficiency and readiness. The fact that this college caters to other services namely Sri Lanka Army and Sri Lanka Navy explicitly shows the importance of this college and the esteemed position it occupies in military education arena of our country. Therefore, it is essential that the in-house service training offered at this college for military officers at mid level deserves a recognition commensurate with their rank and service.
The Junior Command and Staff College recognises the need for close collabora tion with the civil and service intellectuals/resourced personnel both in teaching and research work. This college has already developed links with a number of state and private organization partners who have provided both students and directing staff with a window to the developing trends and techniques in the field of management. In this regard the students will be exposed to the current management practices of leading public and private sector establishments during their organized course visit.
Taking all the aforementioned aspects into consideration, the Junior Command and Staff College of Sri Lanka Air Force is affiliated to the University of Kelaniya in year 2006 to award a Post Graduate Diploma for this course in keeping with the University evaluation criteria.
With effect from 2012 our affiliation shifted to General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University for Post Graduate Diploma in Defence Management.

Over the last few years the Inoapps APEX team have designed, developed and delivered a host of successful web-based applications using Oracle Application Express (APEX). These have been delivered within strict budgetary and time constraints and have garnered positive praise from customers.
In this article we give a few examples of the APEX applications that the Inoapps APEX team have delivered.
Click here for an article that provides an overview of APEX and demonstrates the benefits of adopting this solution for your organisation.
Requirement: A construction company required a system to track and process their construction equipment. The main requirement was to deliver a module, seamlessly integrated with Oracle E-Business Suite, that allows the processing of Purchase Orders for plant equipment (e.g. construction materials, mechanical equipment, plant vehicles, etc).
Solution: Inoapps delivered a custom application developed using APEX that retrieves Purchase Orders and allows them to be satisfied by assigning E-Business Suite inventory items. The module allows the usage (dates and times of hire) to be logged and then calculates the relevant costs. These costs are posted back to the E-Business Suite financial and accounting modules. The Plant Hire module has been adapted and customised to meet the specific requirements for a number of construction companies.
Benefits: The system optimises the use of plant at all times, ensuring the right equipment is used for the right job at the right time, saving both time and money. It allows item tracking, cost management, timely invoice payments and comprehensive usage and financial reporting.
Click here for a more in depth look at InSite Plant Hire Module.
Requirement: An oil and gas services company required a system for managing vessels and crew for their global operations. The system had to integrate with existing E-Business Suite data and provide a way to maintain schedules of what each vessel was working on for the coming months, as well as deal with the associated, often complex, crew requirements. An interface was required to allow available crew to be assigned to vessels to meet the crew requirements and the system should then write timecards back to E-Business Suite to facilitate payroll processing.
Solution: Inoapps designed and built a web-based application in APEX integrated with the customer's existing single sign on system (Oracle Access Manager) and with E-Business Suite. A series of administration pages were developed to allow the vessel schedules and crew requirements to be quickly and easily entered and maintained. The system included an intuitive, graphical interface that allowed the crew management team to easily establish the crew requirements for any vessel and date period and assign crew that fit the required compliance and availability criteria. Timecards are created via a daily job and pushed to E-Business Suite to generate accounting and payroll data.
Benefits: The system has led to significant efficiency improvements in the core business operations of the customer by reducing effort spent managing vessels, crew, timewriting and payroll. The security model employed has enabled sensitive company data to be processed while ensuring that authorisation and access protocols meet existing corporate guidelines. The system was delivered within strict budgetary and time constraints and has provided employees with a real-time single source of data, flexible administration tools, and a suite of customisable reports.
Requirement: An oil and gas company had recently witnessed rapid growth through acquisitions and the senior management team wanted an instant view of company Key Performance Indicators in order to improve strategic decision making. Information also needed to be available to other company staff to ensure better communication and visibility of company performance. The main requirement was to provide visualisations of performance data from the hydrocarbon accountants and production system data so that the performance of reservoirs and installations could be monitored.
Solution: Data from various source systems was extracted and gathered in to a single Oracle database. An APEX application was developed with a series of sophisticated charts. Each chart can be customised to the needs of the user with various intuitive data filters. Different charts, graphs and views of the data were made available to different staff based on their role. Over 180 individual graphs, charts and data extract routines were delivered within tight timescales.
Benefits: All staff were now working from a common set of data and assumptions, improving corporate understanding throughout the company. There was a significant reduction in the amount of time staff spent "data handling", allowing people to focus on their core job role. The data was presented in a clear, consistent and repeatable format that users were comfortable with. The system was developed in a way that required very low levels of ongoing future maintenance. A full BI platform was delivered within strict time, quality and cost restrictions.
Requirement: A global manufacturer of petrochemical and oil products had an existing data capture and management information system written in Oracle Forms and Reports. The requirement was to overcome various issues with the legacy system, mainly by providing a modern front end and allowing system updates to be done quickly in order to meet rapidly changing business requirements.
Solution: A robust and future proof system was rapidly developed in APEX that addressed the issues with the legacy system. The new system very quickly provided an intuitive and user friendly front end with flexible searching capabilities that allows users to easily find the data they need. The business rules and validations of the legacy forms and reports system were re-used in order to preserve the existing investment made by the company.
Benefits: The new system replaced the legacy system with a modern front end and greatly reduced the training time required for new staff to get up to speed. Future changes can now be done quickly and at a significantly reduced cost.
Requirement: An energy supplier required an E-Business Suite implementation and a bespoke customer billing system to move away from their outdated legacy green screen system. The new system needed to allow for the capture and maintenance of metering and energy usage data, produce customer bills and integrate with various systems to ensure bill production and payment processing.
Solution: Inoapps delivered a full E-Business Suite implementation combined with an APEX system, a custom mobile meter reading application and web services to allow customer data and energy usage to be captured and maintained. Energy charges and payment information is integrated with BI Publisher and a third party printing service to allow professional quality bills to be produced.
Benefits: The solution has delivered significant benefits for the customer, allowing them to decommission their legacy green screen system and provide staff with a modern, efficient and easy to use web application. The customer bills have been revamped and the print runs automated, improving the customer experience and saving significant time and costs for the organisation.

When Freud said that there was no such thing as an accident, he was referring to psychology, not printmaking. But there can be serendipitous blunders in printmaking, too, as demonstrated by Pyramid Atlantic Art Center's "Misprints." The work of these 24 artists, most local, is haunted by ghosts, which in this case means images that aren't fully inked or that materialize where they weren't intended.
Several other participants exhibit purposeful errors. Rick Pieto piles lines of text atop one another to render "glitch poems" that recall dada and futurism experiments in nonsense. Robert Howsare makes serigraphs whose pulsating motifs in Day-Glo colors overlap to create eye-hurting moire patterns, a no-no in commercial printing but here an intended psychedelic result. Kristine DeNinno does something similar but less strident by printing two of three matrices out of alignment to yield an undulating whole. Sue Johnson's intaglios are impeccably made, but they're printed on paper with text, designs or flaws that compete with the image.
Among the lightly inked ghostly pictures are David Hawkins's blurry streetscape and Carol Barsha's floral, in which the plants are merely outlined. Carrie Iverson gets an ethereal effect with sepia-toned "toner lithographs," which use photocopies as the printing plate. Closest to the 1918 "Jenny" is one of Cynthia Back's densely layered reduction woodcuts, in which the beige layer was printed the wrong way. The outcome appears a little odd, but is hardly as vertiginous as an upside-down airplane.
Misprints Through April 19 at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, 4318 Gallatin St., Hyattsville.
Korean artist HyeGyung Kim uses video projections to draw transient forms on solid objects. Unlike most such displays, "The Culture of Time and Space" doesn't cast flickering images only on blank screens and empty walls. The Korean Cultural Center gallery that hosts the installation has been made over into a homey room, with furniture and ceramics bathed in various kinds of illumination, both interior and exterior. The objects include traditional design motifs that complement those of Kim's light shows.
One animation combines old and new in a cartoonish contemporary style; it depicts waves and birds, as well as skyscrapers, as they move and grow. Other pieces are embellished with stylized renderings of plants and birds or tidy abstract patterns. In two video pieces, such decorations paint and unpaint themselves on a series of rounded flasks.
While computer graphics are essential to Kim's work, so is appreciation of pre-modern East Asian aesthetics and Taoism's emphasis on synchronizing human life with the larger forces of the universe. Rather than locate this synthesis in a mountain sage's hermitage, she places it in an everyday sitting room. Hers is a vision of implacable change, but also domestic tranquility.
HyeGyung Kim: The Culture of Time and Space Through April 22 at the Korean Cultural Center, 2370 Massachusetts Ave. NW.
That a Zenith Gallery show titled "Women Who Work, Care and Create" would include Elissa Farrow-Savos's "Nasty Woman" was almost certain. But the artist's 3-D depiction of a seemingly impatient creature atop a ring of spikes is not specifically polemical. As with much of the other work in this nine-woman show, programmed by Zenith at Eleven Eleven Sculpture Space, the piece is notable for its balance of brawn and delicacy.
One of the more pointed entries is Paula Stern's "Fanfare for the Working Man," which stacks a partial ceramic head of an overworked man atop an open briefcase. Stern's other sculptures celebrate motion, especially dancing. Several of the artists portray the female body or its apparel: Jacqui Crocetta outlines a dress form in twigs and wire, while Susan Freda constructs frocks and shoes in wire, resin and glimmering metal powders.
Farrow-Savos's gown of clay butterflies links to another frequent theme, threatened nature. Emily Tucci's "trophies" memorialize endangered African fauna, mostly in wood, clay and paint. Lynda Smith-Bugge sculpts seed pods in poplar, then paints them in vivid hues. The same artist's "Extrusion" coils serpentine ceramic twists in and around a length of hewed wood. In this array, women's work is nurturing but rarely gentle.
Women Who Work, Care and Create Through April 27 at Eleven Eleven Sculpture Space, 1111 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.
The subject of immigration to the United States couldn't be timelier, but it's a big theme to pack into Transformer's tiny space. "Where We Come From & Where We Are Going" is just five artworks, each as different as the contributor's ancestral home.
The largest piece is Eliseo Casiano's "Low Hanging Fruit," painted directly on the wall. This autobiographical pop-surrealist picture includes the artist's Mexican grandmother, his sister and the Ford Bronco logo, an emblem of the desert Southwest rendered in metallic silver. Scattered on the floor below is "U.S. Customs Demands to Know," a set of boxes sent to artist Gelare Khoshgozaron from her mother in Iran. Rather than hide dark secrets, the cartons contain glowing LEDs.
Karina Aguilera Skvirsky's 30-minute video is a poetic documentary that follows the 1906 trek of the Afro-Ecuadorian artist's grandmother when she was 14. Indian-bred Dhanashree Gadiyar's textile-like hanging piece of handmade paper includes the words of a Malaysian immigrant to the United States. Keisha Scarville's wall of passport snapshots depicts her Guyana-born father, the photos festooned with paint and glitter. The most Kafkaesque addition is a 3-D "X" over one of the faces. It suggests the loss of specific identity, as well as a bureaucracy's power to erase it.
Where We Come From & Where We Are Going Through April 20 at Transformer, 1404 P St. NW.

Eames - The Information Machine (1958)
Written, produced, filmed, directed and narrated by Charles and Ray Eames in 1957, The Information Machine: Creative Man and the Data Processor was the first film The Eames Office made for IBM. It was commissioned by IBM's then consultant director of design Eliot Noyes for screening at the IBM pavilion at the 1958 Brussels World Fair.
IBM Pavilion - Brussels World Fair (1958)
Noyes, an accomplished architect and designer in his own right, had been instrumental in promoting Eames' earliest furniture work while serving as curator of MoMA's industrial design collection from 1939 – 1946. In fact, Charles Eames and Eero Saarinen won the MoMA Organic Design Competition in 1940, sparking the meteoric rise of their careers.
MoMA – Organic Design in Home Furnishings (1941)
The Information Machine is a 10-minute (mostly) animated film detailing the need for and use of computers as decision making tools. Consistent with all of Eames' work, The Information Machine presents its subject in a deeply humanistic light, leaving the viewer with the impression that computers are a natural product of human ingenuity and ultimately useful in society. It is, therefore, a wonderfully effective piece of corporate communication that promotes the computer as an accessible piece of technology that empowers man to make better decisions. Apple anyone?

Screening A Private War for the siblings of slain war correspondent Marie Colvin was like making it "across the final frontier" for Rosamund Pike. Portraying the Sunday Times journalist who died reporting in Homs, Syria in 2012, Gone Girl's Oscar nominee says family and friends "were understandably quite suspicious of having their friend committed to film in this way" — especially after a certain "unhelpful article" about the Colvins distancing themselves from the biopic came out six months before production began.
Pike can be seen playing Colvin in EW's exclusive first look photo of A Private War, which also sees Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey) as Colvin's journalistic comrade in arms, photographer Paul Conroy.
Partly based on Marie Brenner's Vanity Fair article, "Marie Colvin's Private War," the film tags along with a woman who, as Pike describes, "went to the uncomfortable places of the earth when other people were going in the opposite direction and spoke the truth about them." Colvin was both physically and psychologically scarred by the things she saw abroad. But in the face of PTSD and the eye patch she was forced to wear after a grenade attack in Sri Lanka, the crusader felt compelled to see them so that others wouldn't have to.
Pike wanted to give Heineman, known for Cartel Land and City of Ghosts, "as close an experience as he had with his docs." In other words, "a Marie he could film at all times, whether I knew he was filming or not." Without access to Colvin's diaries, the actress spoke with friends and colleagues, viewed Barbara Kopple's Bearing Witness (about five female war correspondents, including Colvin), and researched "completely candid" "pieces of footage" shared with her by the real Conroy, who was present on set. Pike decided to remain "in character as much as [she] could" to replicate that documentary feel — even, she recalls, while sitting by her laptop or smoking cigarettes.
Heineman then unearthed the real stories of the extras who were filming with them on set in Jordan. Pike recalls an "incredibly difficult" scene to film that involves Colvin's final interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper about a dying child in 2012. "That man who plays the father of the boy, he is someone who has had a child shot off his shoulders in Homs," Pike reveals. "I think, by and large, every time you see grief in the movie it's real and that's what gives the film the integrity and the fierceness that it has," she adds.
That's why it was so important for her and Heineman to earn the family's trust: they "fought to find the truth for her and about her" in the film.
A Private War will open in limited release this Nov. 2.

What it Means to be an American
In my eyes to be an American means to have privileges, rights, and freedom. America isn't perfect, but it is one of the only countries that have rights given to people of different diversities and gender.
America does not have tremendous poverty. Instead we have choices given to us by the people who fought and died for the American people. Without George Washington and the other patriots who planted the first seed in the ground and help plant the American nation we live in now who knows what America would be like now.One of the most important and well-known facts about America is freedom.
We are granted the freedom or choice in our lives and how we live. We are given freedom of speech and press that lets us give our opinions and aspects of the community we live in. also we have the freedom of voting for our leaders and representatives. The American people are also given freedom of clothes, music, and number of kids.
This right of freedom in our lives is one of many rights given to us.Equality in America is very important, and people have fought for it for years. In my opinion equality makes people more open minded about other peoples cultures and creates a better nation. There are still people in America and in other countries who do not believe in a community of equality and the respect of other cultures, and that is something that is not perfect about America.
With that way of thinking and believing those people create the hysteria of violence and hate in America.All because they do not know about the culture they hate so bad, but we still have the people who do believes that equality is important, and they are the ones who balances out America and help to perfect the peoples rights and freedom. Without the people who fought for equality in America the place we live in now would not be a safe place for our friends and family and most important the children who holds the world future. The people in America are given something that not everybody's given.
A chance to be successful and to survive, and most countries are not given that chance.Being in America offers a lot to the people. One of the most important right America offers to America is the chance to be ourselves and to live in a place were small wars are not going on between states or communities. The U.
S. gives us a chance to be fed. The people in America are not surrounded by a majority of starving people. Instead we have one of the most powerful economy in the world.
America offers so much to the people who live in the U. S. , but America will always be full of criticism, violence, and people who are offended by everything.America still seems to manage to be one of the world's best nations.
The first Americans planned America to be as successful as it is, but for America to be more peaceful. America is not one of the most peaceful places, but it is not the most dangerous place to live. Even political parties lie and cheat each other. A lot of the Americans are greedy, because they take advantages of what America offers to their citizens.
Even though America is not perfect I am still glad to live in the U. S.

Editor's Pick: Americana Highways' "Road Trip Earworms" Top 20 Playlist of 2018
News & Events Reviews
December 11, 2018 December 11, 2018 Melissa Clarke4
So, we all love the concept of the cohesive overall album, but sometimes you just gotta have that mixed tape playlist, especially for a road trip on the Americana Highways. Here's mine from this year, with a few words of what's amazing about each one of these songs. Also, with an acknowledgement that any attempt at categorization inevitably creates overlaps and deviation, these are categorized under three broadly general types. They are in no particular order, and there's a playlist at the bottom; play it on shuffle and have a peaceful holiday season! Click on the song titles for more info. Also feel free to share your own list in the comments section!
1) Inspirational, Uplifting, Emotional:
Nathaniel Rateliff's "Hey Mama." Much has been said about "now" being the proverbial "day in the sun" for women in Americana. This song contributes by adding the influence of a mother on her son to the cannon. With her powerfully motivating advice to never give up, the lyrical protagonist tells him: "You ain't gone far enough to say, at least I tried," all over incredible build-up grooves. Plus, sax and horns. I could play this every single morning. And, maybe I do.
Cedric Burnside's "We Made It" is the Hill Country blues, with its amazing proud lyrical autobiographical tale of making it up out of severe poverty right here in America. Burnside is multi-talented as a multi-instrumentalist and a deeply emotive lyricist, and this song will shock your sense of comfort while it simultaneously grooves your blues away. "I came from nothing."
Lori McKenna's "A Mother Never Rests." Becoming a mother caused a realization that in the sea of great songs there are few that laud that experience, and there are even fewer by women. "She bit her lip and didn't cry the day your hatchback left." McKenna's lyrical songwriting is moving superlative genius, and between the songcraft and her vocal delivery good luck not being a crumpled up mess of catharsis from the very first lines of this song. And loving it.
Brent Cobb's "King of Alabama" is a glorious sidewinder of a Georgia southern rock song, as well as a heart wrenching tribute to a musician who was murdered. This song creates emotion in a very keen, southern country style. "I keep his chain in my pocket, his son in my prayers, every stage I'm on I can feel him there."
John Prine's "Summer's End" is the saddest most loving song imaginable, and the video brought it all home. It's a true masterpiece of songwriting and perfectly suited music. It's topped so many lists this year for good reason. "You don't have to be alone."
Lucero's "Among the Ghosts." Ben Nichols' growly voice and the band create deep emotional tension here. The tone connotes a dark macabre setting even as the song is lyrically about a slightly less sinister theme of traveling and missing home. It's a very complex darkness and a deep lowdown vibe. "The first word she said to me was 'good-bye'."
2) Musical Innovation/Kickass Music:
J.D. Wilkes' "Fire Dream." Hands down the most incredibly innovative single musical creation this year was J.D. Wilkes' album "Fire Dream." Like a musical conglomeration of Foley effects, this song unfolds with creepy clicks and the brilliant line "lithe undulations in the dead of the night…" Produced by Jimbo Mathus and Bruce Watson, with Dr. Sick, and Wilkes' southern gothic genius style, this is on nonstop rotation.
Sarah Borges' "Get as Gone Can Get" is Borges' duet with Eric Ambel and the fast paced, call and response vocals are as skilled as they are catchy and fun. "I was drinking whiskey, he was drinking wine." The music rocks with the coolest licks and punctuated timings imaginable, all culminating in a wild upsurge. Also, it's an example of how great drumming can rock you hard without that constant din of cymbals.
Ry Cooder's "The Prodigal Son" (traditional song) has layers of music to love, layers to spiral all around and get lost within. Joachim Cooder's offbeat drumming is a dream come true for any lover of rhythms, plus there's a gospel overlay and some glorious pedal steel along with Ry's virtuoso guitars and wry lyrics.
Shemekia Copeland's "One I Love" is a kickass frenzy leading to that ultimate buildup with Will Kimbrough on guitar, Copeland's soaring vocals and then J.D. Wilkes busting out over the top on harmonica. And it was written by Kevin Gordon, what d'ya know. Pure joy.
Austin Lucas' "Immortal Americans." What is it about this song with its "Sha-la-la, Ooh-la-la" crescendo that creates instant nostalgia for a high school reunion — even if you never once went back? I can't put my finger on it but it's addicting. And a fantastic mid-western ballad — Lucas is a master songwriter.
Tom Freund's "Abandoning the Ship." The music starts out as a casual frolic but before you know it, it's drawn you in and shown you true innovation. It'll disarm you up front but by the end resistance is futile; your head will be bopping along in the layered fractals of music with all manner of strings making unpredictable sounds. Plus — Ben Harper on high harmonies.
Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite's "When I Go" opens with the sound of hushed meditative vocals seeming to ring out in a big room and you'll be instantly quieted inside. It's a deep bluesy song, with heart-gripping tones, a loping rhythm and fluid, solemn harmonica. This one is a therapeutic banishing of stress.
Kevin Gordon's "Saint on a Chain" is weaving, entwining imagery of struggle, mortality, endings, loss and a tale of recovery from his mama's death and the St. Christopher medal she gave him to protect him on dark twisted journeys: "Every river's a daughter of a dirty rain, see how it shines … like a saint on a chain." All of this over sustained grooves, serendipitous leads, and uncanny, attentive jams. "The angel of death has no headlight."
Ben de la Cour's "The High Cost of Living Strange" is a great song all around, with shuffley and bluesy gruffness, and man oh man, de la Cour can sing. There's also a real flair in his vocal delivery's sense of timing, and a twisted darkness in his lyrical depictions: "when they told me I was in on the ground floor, they never told me they were talking about the goddamn basement."
Will Stewart's "Sipsey" grows on you emotionally and is nostalgic and endearing as hell. Something about the mournful key, the pedal steel, and Stewart's voice draws you in like a soothing elixir and keeps you coming back. "Drove all night lost and free my friend…I'd do anything to find that feeling again."
3) Profound and Chilling Wake-Up Calls:
Alejandro Escovedo's "Footsteps in the Shadows." You can't hear this song and not get powerful chills as Mexican-American-Texan Escovedo calls out directly to you: "I need you more than ever, we're runnin' for our lives… there's refuge in your heartbeat." It gets real, real fast, about the current situation and climate surrounding migrant families, immigrants, fear, walls, and people of color over heartbeat rhythms.
Gretchen Peters' "Witchita" is a compelling, heavy sad song that tells a tale about a twelve year girl who ends her abuser's life, with powerful music to back up the powerful theme without pussyfootin' around it. Peters has a strong ability to weave a detailed story into a sad song that stays in your head for weeks. And that's a good thing.
Brandi Carlile's "The Joke." This tackles ugly group mentality, and mob bullying, on so many levels and is another build-up, stunningly profound song– lyrically, vocally and musically. "I let them laugh while they can… let them scatter in the wind." The joke's on them.
Will Hoge's "Gilded Walls." This song is chilling and brave as it bluntly lays the current administration bare, from the Detroit water crisis, to the entitlement of inheritance, to school shootings and gun violence. "I don't believe in the devil, but you might make me go and change my mind." Plus Will Hoge rocks like crazy.

A Fool explains the merits of always keeping a little cash available in your portfolio.
Always keeping some cash available can be a great strategy for more experienced investors, Fool contributor Tim Beyers says in the following video.
How so? First, having cash can be a boon for those who spend time scouring the stock market for big opportunities since you'd need not sell a good position in order to "trade up," as it were. Second, a bounty of cash -- 10% or even 20% of your portfolio -- offers protection for those inevitable occasions when a stock you believe in fails to live up to your hopes, Tim says.
Of course, investing to avoid the worst-case scenario isn't ideal. Keeping excess cash on hand only makes sense if you plan to use it when the right opportunity arises, like when Tim opened a large position in Netflix LEAPS in May 2012. Today, he's considering a similar position in Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO) as the gamer takes the hit Grand Theft Auto V to new platforms and turns the online version into a consistent profit producer.
Now it's your turn to weigh in. What's your strategy for investing in stocks? Do you prefer to be fully invested, or do you pick your spots? Please watch the video to get Tim's full take and then leave a comment to let us know whether you would buy, sell, or short Take-Two Interactive stock at current prices.

McKayla Maroney Addresses Larry Nassar Sex Abuse Scandal For First Time | TODAY
On: July 6, 2020
Tagged: Larry Nassar
While some gymnasts have said they complained in the 1990s about Nassar's behavior, it was not until 2015 that USA Gymnastics took action against him. The organization cut ties with Nassar "after learning of athlete concerns."[16] In September 2016, The Indianapolis Star reported that Rachael Denhollander and another former gymnast had accused Nassar of sexual abuse.[17] He was fired by Michigan State on September 20, after having been reassigned from clinical and teaching duties a month earlier.[16]
In February 2017 three former gymnasts: Jeanette Antolin, Jessica Howard and Jamie Dantzscher, gave an interview for 60 Minutes in which they said that Nassar had sexually abused them. They also alleged that the "emotionally abusive environment" at the national team training camps run by Béla and Márta Károlyi, at the Karolyi Ranch near Huntsville, Texas, gave Nassar an opportunity to take advantage of the gymnasts and made them afraid to speak up about the abuse.[18] Rachael Denhollander, one of the first women to publicly accuse Nassar,[19] said in court in May 2017 that Nassar had sexually abused her on five doctor's visits in 2000 when she was 15 years old.[20]
Olympic gold medalist McKayla Maroney, using the #MeToo hashtag on Twitter, said that Nassar had repeatedly molested her from 2008, when she was 13 years old, until she retired from the sport eight years later in 2016.[21] Maroney subsequently filed a lawsuit against Nassar, Michigan State University, the United States Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics.[22] The lawsuit accused USA Gymnastics of covering up the sexual abuse by requiring her to sign a non-disclosure agreement in her $1.25 million settlement. Maroney's attorney John Manly called Nassar a "pedophile doctor".[23]
During a 60 Minutes interview, Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman said that Nassar had also sexually abused her.[24] Raisman said that Nassar molested her when she was 15 years old.[25] Gabby Douglas sent a tweet saying that "dressing in a provocative/sexual way incites the wrong crowd."[26] She was criticized for it by fellow Olympic teammate Simone Biles and others, who interpreted the tweet as criticism of Raisman and "victim-shaming".[25] Douglas later apologized for the tweet,[27] and said she was also a victim of Nassar's abuse.[28]
Former national team member Maggie Nichols said that Nassar abused her, and that he "groomed" her by connecting with her on Facebook and complimenting her appearance on numerous occasions.[3] According to court filings and interviews, Nichols and her coach Sarah Jantzi reported Nassar to USA Gymnastics officials on June 17, 2015 after the coach overheard Nichols and another gymnast talking about Nassar's behavior.[29] Biles came forward shortly after with accounts that she too had been sexually abused by Nassar.[30] Jordyn Wieber made an impact statement at Nassar's court sentencing in which she also accused Nassar of sexually abusing her during her time at USA Gymnastics and talked of its effects.[31][32]

Silvio Savelli (died 1515) was an Italian condottiero. A member of the Savelli family of Rome, he was the brother of Troiano Savelli.

After the initial baronial struggles against the Colonna and the Orsini, he was hired by the Republic of Florence, taking part in the war for Pisa in 1503–1505. Later he was under the Holy Roman Empire's banner, and participated in the Battle of Novara.

In 1513 Massimiliano Sforza, Duke of Milan, entrusted him with a force of 2,700 infantry and 500 horses to capture Bergamo, which was held by the Venetians, and Savelli defeated Renzo da Ceri. Savelli was wounded when da Ceri defeated him at the battle of Ombriano near Crema, and Bergamo fell again to Venice. Savelli was able to regain the city and obtained the title of commander-in-chief of the Milanese infantry.

In 1515 he is mentioned for the last time, at the defence of Alessandria.

Album Review – Tennessee Jet's "The Country"
Don't think of Tennessee Jet as your typical country music performer. Consider him more like a character from a Beat-era novel, hitchhiking from California and back, hanging out with a motorcycle gang for a week in the desert, camping out under the stars on the side of the road, all with a guitar slung on his back.

Album Review – Zephaniah OHora's "Listening to the Music"
"Perfection" is a very hard metric to measure when it comes to music. But if your measure of perfection is how well you re-interpret and reinvigorate the classic styles of country music, then Zephaniah OHora's second record—similar to his first one—scores a 10.0.

Waylon Payne is the name you turn to when you need a ringer of a song to really anchor a record, and that is what names like Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack, Wade Bowen, Charlie Robison, Pam Tillis, and many more have been doing for a while. But those who know Waylon Payne know he's just as fit to be a performer.

Organized by Blackbird Presents who've put together a host of these tribute shows over the years, usually if you can't swing a ticket, you miss your opportunity to see so much country music star power assembled in one place.

Tre Cool of Green Day Joins Willie Nelson on West Coast Tour
Tre Cool of Green Day has pretty much joined Willie Nelson's Family Band. Alright, that's probably a little presumptuous and hyperbolic, but there is definitely something cool going on here, and now it's happened a couple of times. It started when Willie Nelson played a show in San Francisco.

Album Review – Stoney LaRue's "Onward"
When they finally get around to opening a proper brick and mortar Red Dirt Music Hall of Fame in Stillwater, Oklahoma, you can be assured it will be seeded with a bust of Stoney LaRue. Though many modern day artists love to cite Red Dirt as a sound and influence to their music, it's only a select few who can say they're founding members.

Album Review- Dale Watson's "Call Me Lucky"
Dale Watson is incapable of hiding his roots. He's so damn country, he started his own genre called Ameripolitan just to get away from what country music has become. There is nobody less likely skid off the tracks and abandon their country principles on this big sphere of rock hurdling through space than Dale Watson.

Willie Nelson and Van Morrison Collaborating Together In Studio
It's very early in the process, and we don't know if it's just a few songs or an entire album. But the word out of Pittsburgh, PA is that Irish singing/songwriting legend Van Morrison and country music icon Willie Nelson were recently in the studio together collaborating on an upcoming project.

Album Review – Dallas Moore's "Mr. Honky Tonk"
This is the record that when someone asks you, "Dallas Moore? Where should I start?" you have a solid answer. "Mr. Honky Tonk" is Dallas Moore's most refined, polished, and professional album yet, but without compromising any of the grit and attitude that has earned him such a dedicated following and the "true Outlaw" moniker.

"Yeah, that was me on 'Smokin' in The Boys Room,'" Willie Nelson's harmonica player Mickey Raphael confirms. "Vince played a harmonica on the last note of the song, so he was credited for harmonica. he funny thing is that Vince even won an award that year for 'Best Heavy Metal Instrumentalist.'"

It's a national embarrassment that an artist, singer, and songwriter like Chris Stapleton is just now getting his feet onto the ground floor of stardom while the morons he's penning super hits for are out there starring in their own prime time televised specials. Forget the reams and reams of songwriting credits Stapleton's accrued for a second; this dude can sing the pants off of anyone else.

Album Review – Willie Nelson's "Band of Brothers"
Let's face it. Willie Nelson could take his sweaty, old man-smelling headband off, slingshot it out to center stage, and it would still be more enriching than what most of modern country radio has to offer. Simply the tone of his voice immediately puts the inertia of nearly a century of noble contributions to country music behind whatever he does.

Saving Country Music was out and about Austin, TX and its outskirts over the past week or so as part of the annual South By Southwest (SXSW) gathering, pounding the pavement and looking for the next country music artist worthy of your ears that you may never otherwise hear about. In the coming months I look forward to taking some of these discoveries and sharing them with you.

Review – Willie Nelson's "Let's Face The Music & Dance"
Let's Face The Music & Dance is an album of classic standards, performed with Willie's "Family Band" that now principally includes sister Bobbie on piano, and Mickey Raphael on harp. It is not a country album in the traditional sense of the term. But the music hearkens back so far, and this entire album is so awash in those well-recognizable Willie tones, it still has plenty of country feel to it.

Album Review – Shooter Jennings "Family Man"
In the end I'm just surprised at the sheer lack of direction with this album. I guess there's a "Family Man" concept here, but it almost seems a burden to the music instead of a compliment. However I would be lying if I said Family Man didn't have any moments. And yes, Shooter is a nice guy, but that is not a sonic element you can measure in music.
