Axelrod The role men and women play in history can be viewed from two perspec­ tives. Either men determine history by their actions or history determines the actions of men. At times a combination of the two may take place. The relationship of Rabbi Henry Cohen 0863-1952) of Galveston and the Galves­ ton Immigration Movement, often called the Galveston Plan, was a case of combining these two historical perspectives. The necessity of a nation and a religious group to change its immigration patterns coupled with the extra­ ordinary humanitarian efforts of a great man created the product of an innova­ tive, well-planned program. This paper will examine the workings of the Galveston Plan and the role Henry Cohen played in making that plan a partial success.

  • Downtown Houston Market Update
    3Q 2018 Downtown Houston Market Update Central Houston, Inc. and Houston Downtown Management District It has been over a year since Hurricane Harvey made its landfall in the 3Q KEY HIGHLIGHTS midst of recovery from the worst energy downturn in the last three decades. Market and economic indicators strongly suggest that the downturn is finally over, and robust growth has returned to Houston’s 10 economy. Oil is trading at a stable $70/barrel range, above break-even New retailers added cost for most producers. Driven by the rebound in commodity prices, in 3Q growing global demand and OPEC production cuts, exploration budgets and drilling permits have risen dramatically, resulting in a rebound in the rig count and more companies reporting profits than losses. This in turn is boosting oil and gas-related sectors including manufacturing and professional services. The Houston region’s employment growth rate of 4.3 precent for the 12 months ending September, surpassed all other MSA’s in the country. Though bolstered by the oil industry recovery and Hurricane Harvey job gains, employment gains have primarily been within professional and business services, and not in energy. The energy sector’s recovery has not translated into positive office leasing, as a leaner, technologi- cally-advanced and more efficient energy industry emerged from the downturn, requiring a smaller workforce. Ironically, the industry is also facing a talent shortage, in spite of the fact that it has not hired close to half as many employees as were laid off: of the 93,900 jobs lost from the peak to the trough of the downturn (Dec.

  • Rich Kids Press
    AA FFIILLMM BBYY LLAAUURRAA SSOOMMEERRSS PRESS KIT RUNNING TIME: 97 MIN | ASPECT RATIO: 1.85 SOUND: DOLBY 5.1 | COUNTRY: USA TEASER Play Video SHORT SYNOPSIS FOLLOW US TAG LINE For just one day they wanted life on the inside LOG LINE A group of troubled teens from a low-income community break into “Los Ricos”, the local mansion with a border fence, and spend the day pretending to be rich in order to forget their difficult lives. SHORT SYNOPSIS Matías is a bright teenager whose family struggles with harsh financial troubles. When he discovers “Los Ricos”, a wealthy family, are out of town, Matías breaks into their mansion where he and his friends spend an afternoon basking in the good life. The party is soon disrupted when a trouble-making relative shows up uninvited. Loyalties are then pushed to the breaking point as Matías’s desire for power in the house rises. At its heart, Rich Kids is about a young man’s transformation from the person he thinks he's supposed to be into the person he really is, as he comes to terms with the realities and consequences of living a community ravaged by the wealth gap and income inequality. DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT I find as a writer/director that I’m drawn to telling stories that dig into untold regions of the American experience. And I usually tell stories that are intensely personal, usually coming from a facet of my life. The idea for Rich Kids came out of an incident that happened in the neighborhood I grew up in.
