House of Ruth Offers Help to People Who are Homeless in Los Angeles

Jonathan David’s Tapstone Holdings focuses on creating effective marketing plans and media buys. As the CEO, Jonathan David operates Tapstone Holdings on a basis of mutual respect with his clients. Jon David’s charitable giving includes the House of Ruth in Los Angeles.

The House of Ruth’s vision statement promotes independence and stability for homeless women, including those in abusive relationships. It accomplishes this by finding temporary, transitional, and permanent housing for them and their children.

Many agencies address the problem of homelessness by providing two weeks of shelter with little follow-up. However, the House of Ruth offers an approach that is aimed to prevent families from needing to return to shelters.

The organization believes in providing a range of services that go beyond sheltering, such as supportive programs and an aftercare program. The agency addresses mental health issues, child care, crisis counseling, and life skills development. Most importantly, the House of Ruth establishes a peer atmosphere, in which people who have overcome homelessness share their hope and strength.

This process has proven to be successful. Fully 95% of the families served by the House of Ruth remain housed for the long term.

Remote Destinations around the World

A serial entrepreneur, Jonathan David has been creating and building businesses since the age of 18. Currently leading Tapstone Holdings, LLC, as CEO, he is responsible for developing the company’s overall strategy and overseeing its daily operations. When he’s not busy running Tapstone Holdings, Jonathan “Jon” David enjoys traveling to remote destinations.

Visiting remote destinations gives travelers a break from modern luxuries while exposing them to sights largely untouched by tourists. Here are a few of the world’s most intriguing remote locations:

- Sakhalin Island: Located off the eastern coast of Russia, Sakhalin Island is largely uninhabited. The island, which has only been open to visitors since 1990, is populated by the Nivkh people, who enjoy sharing their traditions and customs with visitors.

- Deception Island: For those travelers who can brave the cold air, Deception Island in Antarctica is an active volcano’s semi-submerged caldera. It has been a safe harbor for several years and features geothermally heated water, an old whaling station, and the continent’s largest cemetery.

- Urumqi: Although this city in China is served by several airlines, it is regarded as one of the more remote cities in the country. Urumqi rests more than 1,500 miles from the nearest coast and is a great spot for horseback riding, hiking, and enjoying the Alps-like views.

The Canadian Origins of Ice Hockey

Serial entrepreneur Jonathan David is the CEO and founder of Tapstone Holdings, LLC, in West Hollywood. As CEO, he develops the company’s overall strategy and business development. When he is not busy leading Tapstone Holdings, Jonathan “Jon” David enjoys playing ice hockey.

The true origin of ice hockey is often debated. Some parties say it originated from lacrosse, while others claim it came from the Micmac Indian sport called hurling.– However, it is generally agreed that modern ice hockey was created in Canada in the 1850s by British soldiers.

Written logs of the first ice hockey games exist, but none of the rules were written down until 1879 when students at McGill University decided to legitimize the game a bit. These rules differed slightly from the original form of the game. The new rules stated that a puck should be used instead of a ball. Additionally, these new rules declared that each hockey team should have nine players.

Within a year, Canada began to see a number of amateur ice hockey leagues and clubs spring up. The sport was introduced to the United States in 1893 and had spread to Europe by the turn of the century.

Over the years, ice hockey’s popularity grew rapidly. Ice hockey has the oldest sports trophy in North America and was added as an Olympic sport in 1920. Yet, despite the sport’s popularity and various equipment advances made over time, ice hockey’s rules have largely stayed the same with the exception of the decrease from nine players per team to six and the addition of netting to the goal.
