The Best 'Idol' Performances… Ever
Tonight is the first round of auditions for the 13th season of American Idol. One of the most famous talent shows in the history of television, American Idol changes judges like most of us change underwear. While host Ryan Seacrest has never parted in the last thirteen years, tonight marks the return of judges Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez, who took a brief hiatus from the show. The two will be joined by newcomer, Harry Connick, Jr.
More importantly, the show has also seen its fair share of the talented and the talentless. With 12 seasons in the bag, audiences have been entertained by over 240 contestants and countless hopeful auditioners over the last decade and a half. While we all have our favorite moments (the memory of William Hung's "She Bangs" still causes a chuckle), there are specific performances that outweigh all the rest in vocal ability, stage presence, and overall star quality.
Let's take a walk down memory lane and revisit the best performances in American Idol history.
1. Fantasia Barrino: "Summertime"
The third season winner of American Idol, Fantasia Barrino captured audiences with her sultry version of this Broadway classic.
2. Elliot Yamin: "A Song For You"
Elliot Yamin's smooth R&B stylings won him the third spot on American Idol's fifth season and a spot in the American Idol Performance Hall of Fame with his performance of the classic ballad, "A Song For You."
3. Katharine McPhee: "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"
Katharine McPhee's strong vocal performances throughout season five of American Idol were enough of an indication that she would go far on the show, ultimately winning second place. However, it was this subtle rendition of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" that really won us over.
4. Adam Lambert: "Mad World"
Season eight's Adam Lambert was great at putting on a show, but we especially fell in love with his moody rendition of "Mad World." Lambert went on to place second in the season and has had quite a successful music career since his Idol days.
5. Joshua Ledet: "It's a Man's Man's Man's World"
The vocals, the suit, the trumpets. There were so many elements that blew this performance of "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" out of the water. It's not a man's world, but it was certainly one of the best male performances in the show's history.
6. Candice Glover: "Lovesong"
Probably the most impressive performance in American Idol history and hailed as one of the best performances from the show by the judges themselves, Candice Glover's perfect performance of The Cure's "Lovesong" from Season 12 will send chills down your spine.

TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2018/CNW/ - Sleep Country Canada Holdings Inc. ("Sleep Country" or the "Company" (TSX: ZZZ)), Canada's leading sleep retailer is tackling Canada's sleep issues one night at a time.
Many Canadians are not getting the sleep they need. A 2017
Statistics Canada report that examined the sleep of 10,000 Canadians over six years found that 1 in 3 Canadians aren't getting quality sleep or the optimal duration of sleep, almost half of all Canadians don't find their sleep refreshing and 55% of women and 43% of men aged 18-64 have trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep. The study also concluded that Canadians are getting less sleep than they were in 2005.
"Sleep Country recently unveiled a new positioning statement "All for Sleep" which is a reflection of what we offer at Sleep Country, but more importantly our belief in the importance of sleep and our passion for sleep," said Dave Friesema, Chief Executive Officer of Sleep Country Canada.
"At Sleep Country, we've always been committed to helping our customers get better sleep," said Friesema, "but emerging science is telling us sleep is so much more important than Canadians realized. As the only true sleep retailer in the country, we want to help every Canadian get their best possible sleep. We do this through our highly trained and educated Sleep Experts in each store. Our Sleep Experts strive to understand each customer's individual sleep needs and sleep style so they can be matched with the right sleep products for their needs. When it comes to sleep, one product doesn't fit all," added Friesema.
"More and more studies and research are clearly defining how important sleep is in relation to our health and wellbeing," explained sleep advocate and Co-Founder of Sleep Country Christine Magee. "Sleep enhances our ability to learn, memorize and make logical decisions. It rebuilds our immune system to help fight off disease, it recalibrates our emotions, it helps manage appetite & metabolism and reduces anxiety and depression. A regular sleep pattern can even reduce your chances of a stroke or heart attack," said Magee.
"All for Sleep" is also a true reflection of the innovative products that Sleep Country creates and curates. "People used to think that Sleep Country was just a mattress store, but we have evolved well beyond this as we continue to understand the holistic nature of sleep and how relaxation, the right environment and the right sleep products can all contribute to a restorative sleep," said Stewart Schaefer, Chief Business Development Officer of Sleep Country Canada.
"In the last year alone, we have launched many new innovative products that are designed to provide comfort and support for your whole bedroom," added Schaefer.
Here are a few examples of new products that Sleep Country offers that demonstrate how the sleep retailer has evolved into a total sleep solution provider for the whole family:
"All for Sleep" is being supported by the release of a new
TV commercial
that dramatizes how a lack of quality sleep can affect us all with a light-hearted, comedic approach. "We're excited about what the future holds as we continue to develop new products based on the science of sleep and Canadians' needs, exceed the expectations of our customers and stay a step ahead of the changing retail landscape," added Friesema."
About Sleep Country

Marrying A Muslim OR Christian and Vice Versa: So much mails and so much DMs on how I manage my religion in marriage, and I thought to drop this .: First of, pls know that because it worked for me doesn't make it work for you.
When I took my husband to my parents, my heart was beating fast! I'm from a very strong Catholic home! In fact, my old man is a Marriage Counsellor in church. My dad made him feel comfortable and when he left he asked me how I wanted him to face the church where he preached anti-religion as one of the reasons for divorce in marriage. I didn't say a word… And it ended well… We started to pray about him… My dad met the Rev. Father and told him about it all, Father called me and invited my husband and I… Told my husband I must practice my religion and nothing more else he wouldn't join us… fast forward to getting into the car my husband was cold! I assured him I would manage it well, God help us.
After marriage an Alfa started coming home to teach me.. That religion isn't bad after all.. I learnt a few and started following my husband to Nasfat. My husband would hand me over to any sister and say "Pls she's a convert, help me coach her"… I met lots of amazing sisters there! Nasfat is Sundays! church is Sunday! Then I found CLAM which was Wednesday's and I started going with my husbands approval after so much convictions and personal prayers! I'm a proud CHRISMUS! Lol… After all we serve same God!
So . is my story for those asking! I call Allah and Jesus fluently! Whichever comes to my mouth when I pray is from my lips to His hears!
In summary, marry your husband! Mine is full of understanding, wisdom and love. If I come back to this world, I will marry him over and over again!
PS: My old man has since then changed his notion, Now he uses us as an example in marriage classes.

Today's "first" is about to happen: our first flight with little F.
We're arriving into Manchester very late so instead of reporting once we're there, I decided to write my blog during a "first" rather than afterwards.
Packing for a big journey with a baby was quite a challenge but I think we've got everything now. We were offered a lift to the airport by a lovely friend so that made things quite a bit more relaxed.
We've gone through security already and F. wouldn't stop laughing as he was getting patted down. So far, so good. I just hope he won't suffer too much from the pressure on the plane.
Really looking forward to our holiday now. I'm just focusing on that and trying to block out the fact that I'm about to go on a plane. Can't say I'm too thrilled about that. But I'm sure we'll be fine and then we've got a lovely time together to look forward to.

The history of the Golden Circle
The Golden Circle provides all types of healthy lifestyle programs and resources for adults, it's not just for seniors.
The need for a centre such as The Golden Circle was first recognized in 1958.
It was apparent that there was a need for a recreation centre for senior citizens in the City of Red Deer, so began the construction of a temporary centre, "The Downtown House". It became a popular meeting place for many of the city's senior residents. However, limitations were seen by inadequate space and steep stairs leading down into the centre.
In 1975 the Kiwanis Club of Red Deer formed a committee to investigate a suitable project to commemorate their silver anniversary in Red Deer. After meeting with the Council on Aging in September the Kiwanis Club embarked on the project. They pledged $100,000 to the cause. A large representative committee was formed including Kiwanis, the Central Lions, the City, the Recreation Department, the Preventative Social Service Department, the Red Deer Planning Commission, the Council on Aging and the Senior Citizens (25 members in all).
A request for an option on a site in the recreation parks was granted by City Council in September, 1975. A preliminary plan evolved by December, and a request for 40% of the construction cost thru the major Recreational or Cultural facility Grant was passed.
During the early part of 1976 a final plan was approved. Tenders were called in late June. Springer Construction was awarded the contract on July 23, thus was approved by City Council on August 3. The sod turning followed August 4, 1976. The building was under way.
Kiwanis now turned their attention to raise the $100,000 they pledged. For six months the had been planning Red Deer's first telethon under the chairmanship of the late Roy Simpson. The Telethon was a good show and a major success financially. A name the centre contest drew 200 replies. Norman Bowles sent in the successful name "The Golden Circle". The good winter building weather enabled the building's construction to be completed on April 28. A four-day open house was held from April 28 – May 1. An estimated 5,000 people visited the Circle during these days. Major renovations to the building took place in 2009, and 35 years since it first opened, the Circle remains a vibrant hub for older adults in the area.

Driver shortage discussed at APTA meeting
CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — The ongoing driver shortage was addressed in a session at the Atlantic Provinces Trucking Association (APTA) conference here today.
A discussion panel was assembled at the Oct. 23 afternoon session to discuss both problems and solutions to the prevailing shortage issue.
Moderator Kelly Henderson, the executive director of the Trucking Human Resources Sector Council Atlantic, welcomed Angela Splinter, CEO Trucking HR Canada and Paul Easson, president of Eassons Transport to the discussion.
"I think it is vital that driver shortage is one of the topics that kicked off the conference," said Henderson. "It shows that people understand that this shortage is a serious issue."
Henderson reported that by 2020, the industry could face a driver shortage of 33,000 truck operators.
Splinter echoed this statistic by adding that the numbers do fluctuate from 25,000 to 33,000, but could realistically be higher.
"These numbers don't include private fleets," said Splinter.
In the past, well-documented research has been conducted that suggests a shortage is imminent, but numbers required quantification.
"We need to look at demand and productivity," said Splinter, noting that in periods of higher demand, shortages will peak.
The Canadian Trucking Alliance has created a Blue Ribbon Task Force to tackle operational concerns, chiefly the driver shortage.
"We are working together to address the driver shortage," Splinter said. "We are trying to do our part at a national level and while some people don't believe there is a shortage, we absolutely see that there is a decrease in workers."
"We keep hearing about the perfect storm or the demographic tsunami," Splinter said. "We are facing pending retirements, a workforce with 20% of drivers over 54 years old and 12% under 30."
Additional concerns the Blue Ribbon Task Force contend with are image and attraction issues.
Currently, only 3% of drivers are women and another 3% are immigrants.
"We need to start recruiting from non-traditional sources: women, immigrants and aboriginals," said Splinter.
The task force has also developed a call to action, which has been dubbed BRFT.
First, the "Basics", such as compensation and benefits, are reviewed. Second, "Respect" is addressed – the image of drivers needs to shift so it is recognized as a professional occupation. Third, "Training" needs improvement and last, "Family" has to be taken into account, as drivers deserve a fair work/life balance.
"We really need to amend the NOC code," said Splinter.
A NOC code, or the National Occupation Classification, is a system that authoritatively ranks occupations in Canada. At present, truck driving has one of the lowest NOC code scores.
"We need to raise the bar," said Splinter. "We can achieve this by updating these national occupational standards."
Mandatory entry-level training, or an apprenticeship type model, according to Splinter, can improve the current standard.
The Blue Ribbon Task Force also initiated an inquest with young people and guidance counselors looking to understand what needs the upcoming workforce require.
"Youth are looking for occupations with environmentally friendly work practices, continuous learning opportunities and high-safety standards," said Splinter.
Easson joined the panel to also address the issue from a fleet perspective.
He shared anecdotal evidence to support the current shortage issue concerns.
"I knew a driver who always said, 'if you can't tell me what the mission is, I can't prepare for it,'" said Easson. "Drivers live in a short mission world and they need to know where they are going."
According to Easson, the job can be demoralizing when truckers are forced to wait for their schedules or left idling at a shipper's facility waiting for their truck to unload. Rearranging operations so dispatch plans are forward looking will aid wait times.
The issue of time was stressed when Easson addressed the conference attendees.
"Take long haul trips and break them up so drivers aren't on the road and away from their family for a week or more," said Easson.
Easson's other suggestions to help build a stronger workforce with less turnover include maintaining a fleet with better equipment and rewarding the positive in the work environment.
"We need to celebrate good news, " said Easson.
At Eassons Transport, employees are given the chance to reward coworkers with the Better Safer Easier reward.
"Employees can recognize their coworkers that help make their jobs better, safer and easier," Easson said.
These simple steps, Easson said, will help alleviate subsequent shortage problems.
Have your say
We won't publish or share your data
great article and we need more transport companies that understand driver needs.
I enjoyed reading Eassons views.
I can come and start my carrier as trucker ,I am from India 32 Year old ,right now I have a car license.. tell me the process to come over there???
for months Ive listened to all these so called experts
with their theories on how to help these companies retain drivers. the main problem is with our antiquated labour laws that haven't kept up with the times.This is not "Rocket science" 24hrs in a day 10 for sleeping according to our log books. 14 hrs for productivity. IE driving, traffic, loading, unloading,call me back in an hour game and so on. Pay by the hour and most safety problems will take of themselves.The labour laws need to be changed to fit today's type of trucking,most of these trucking companies manipulate the rules to suite their purpose. Sure the labour rules says after 60hrs it's overtime great in theory. At the end of your 3rd day lets say for shits and giggles your company makes you sit some place for 24hrs because they don"t have freight,that blows the 60hrs in 7 days apart plus a day with no income sitting at some truckstop.I don't think these labour laws regarding trucking have changed much since the 1930s.The laws have to change across the country in order to have a level playing field for everyone.I could go and on but i think most people reading this will get the idea of it.
Well I guess I am tired of hearing all the things companies are doing to keep drivers happy After 25 years in the industry it is no different now than then only you cannot run 24/7 to make money Companies tell everyone we are the top in the industry if so why you always looking for drivers why are drivers always unhappy with there work schedule Very simple pay for what you do live up to your promises We all can agree that rates are suppose to be at an all time low Suppose to be if this is the case the cost of products & services have not decreased so who is making the bucks here The food industry say transport costs are up we are told , transport companies they are down so where is the truth who do you believe someone is making the bucks of a drivers hard work Does not look like retailers are hurting for a dollar or transport companies whether privately owned or owned by share holders If any other trade or worker put up with the delays, lies that are given to drivers the country it would shut down I do not want a medal of honor for what I do just treat me right & pay me The sad part about all of this bull is I LOVE what I do & everyone else is tell me what to work ,when to rest & what I can make know anywhere else this happens The more I put in the less I get back come on people these days are gone do not be so greedy share the wealth the trucking industry will be a better place Everyone know you get what you pay for
It is easy for us not in the game to come up with all the answers, just like the Monday morning quarterback. I am only a part time driver now but when i had trucks and drivers , my turnover was low. My solution was salary. There are 248 days in the year that a driver can work. I paid an equal pay for 52 weeks as long as a driver worked 248 days. It was my job to keep the truck rolling. If he sat in a truck stop, he still got paid. Also, i paid $32.00 per day extra for every day he was away from home. One other thing, my dad started me driving on the farm at age 14,had my class 1 with air at 18, still love driving today. Too many young people are lost to trucking because you can't train teenagers anymore.
To whom It May Concern A.P.T.A.- The reason for driver shortage is as It's been for 30 years [MONETARY]How many meetings regarding "DRIVER SHORTAGE" before the Corporate realizes a wage scale equal to other trades will end this false challenge! Canadians are willing to work in the "Trucking" Industry including many of our veterans and school graduates if a reasonable return on investment and time is included! — John W. Thankyou
Lose the outdated mileage pay and start to pay by the hour like all trades in this country of ours and you will see how fast the so called driver shortage is eliminated.
I can more more money running at 90kmph in the west then I can back east, with all of the towns and reduced speed limits, hours of service etc.

Equipped with state-of-the-art eye-tracking technology and customized space for focus groups, the Behavioral Lab allows students, faculty members and business partners to conduct cutting-edge, applied research.
About eye tracking
Sensors capture eye movement including the path and length of gaze as a person looks at something like a computer screen, object or image. Because the data captured is based on behavior, researchers can use the information to analyze how people view and interact with a variety of things from websites to consumer products.
Eye tracking has countless applications ranging from game design to accessibility programs for people with disabilities. In marketing research, eye tracking can reveal a lot of information about how people view marketing and advertising materials or even product packaging. Since eye tracking provides evidence based on actual human behavior, it is often more consistent and reliable than relying on word-of-mouth alone.
If you are interested in learning more about the Behavioral Lab or working with one of our marketing classes to conduct thorough and detailed research, contact Philippe Duverger, Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Programs in Marketing Intelligence and Interactive Marketing, at 410-704-3538 or pduverger AT_TOWSON.

Recognition of a divorce decree from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea
The Thessaloniki 1st Instance court issued in 2012 a decision on an application for recognition of a divorce decree from a court in the city of Bilohirsk/Belogorsk (in Ukrainian Білогірськ; in Russian Белогорск). This is an unreported case, which becomes interesting in light of the recent situation in the region.
The facts: The applicant requested the recognition of a divorce decree rendered by the Regional court of Bilohirsk/Belogorsk of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. He submitted the following documents: A copy of the marriage certificate from the Municipality of Krimskaya Roza, issued both in Russian and Ukrainian; a copy of the 2011 divorce decree, rendered in Russian, which contained a note certifying that the decree was final; a copy of the divorce certificate from the registrar's office of Krimskaya Roza, issued in Ukrainian, certifying the finality of the decree. All documents were true copies of the originals, translated into Greek.
The ruling: The court applied domestic provisions, i.e. Articles 323 and 905 Greek Code of Civil Procedure, and examined the issues stipulated in the above provisions, i.e. the international jurisdiction of the foreign court, the rights of audience of the defendant, and the possible irreconcilability of the foreign decree with a domestic decision. Regarding the first requirement, the Thessaloniki court accepted the foreign court's international jurisdiction on the basis of the parties' last common residence. On the second issue, the court noticed that – although the respondent was in default of appearance - fair hearing was not violated, because from the text of the foreign decree it is evidenced that the latter had submitted a declaration to the foreign court, requesting that the hearing takes place in spite of her default of appearance. The Greek court concluded that the above is equivalent to a consent declaration from her side, which proves that she was not deprived of her right to a fair hearing. Finally, regarding the third issue, the applicant failed to demonstrate that the foreign decree is not irreconcilable to a domestic ruling. For this reason the court ordered the repetition of proceedings, in order for the applicant to produce a certificate proving the above.
Comments: By reading the Greek decision, it seems that the Greek court was somehow puzzled with regard to the nationality of the foreign decree. It received true copies of a number of documents from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, translated either from Russian, or Ukrainian, or both languages. As it is evidenced by the text of the Greek decision, the decree was drafted and published in Russian. To sum up, there is not a single word in the Greek decision giving at least a hint that the foreign divorce decree was rendered by a court of law belonging to the state of Ukraine. However, as mentioned before, this is a 2012 decision. Nowadays everyone is aware of Crimea and the country to which it forms part today.
Hence, from the legal point of view, the court should have applied the bilateral Agreement between the Hellenic Republic and Ukraine on Judicial Assistance in Civil Matters, which was signed in Kiev on July 2, 2002, ratified in Greece by virtue of Law 3281/2004, and entered into force in Greece on January 27, 2007. In particular, the court should have applied Articles 20 et seq. of the Agreement. There are a couple of differences in the approach compared to domestic provisions. I will focus on those which are relevant to the case at hand, using the terminology of the Agreement's version in English.
First, unlike Art. 323 b Greek CCivP, Art. 22 d of the bilateral agreement states that the court of destination has to examine whether its state would have had international jurisdiction to hear the case.
Second, unlike Art. 323 d Greek CCivP, Art. 22 b of the bilateral agreement states that even a definitive, i.e. non-final decision rendered in the court of destination, is sufficient for refusing recognition of the foreign decree.
Third, unlike Art. 323 c Greek CCivP, Art. 21 Para 4b of the bilateral agreement states that the applicant is obliged to produce a certificate to the effect that the litigant who lost the case and failed to appear in court had been duly summoned in accordance with the law of the Contracting Party in the territory of which the decision was issued.
In conclusion, in substance, the Greek court was not wrong in its decision: The Thessaloniki courts had no jurisdiction to hear the case; there was no evidence on the existence of a Greek definitive decision issued previously; a certificate proving that the defendant was duly summoned was not needed in the present case, in light of her explicit consent to accept the ruling of the foreign court in absentia.
However, one is left with a bitter taste: The court followed a different point of departure, i.e. the domestic provisions, failing to make any reference to the bilateral agreement, which should have been applied in the case. This time things went well. Still, there's no guarantee that this will be the case in the future.

Did chores and got to Agape by 9:30. First day on my own and it went well.
On the way home the bridge was up and a couple of rental boats were passing under it.
Had to pull over to take a shot of these blossoms....they were huge and looked like paper.
A beautiful afternoon. I don't know if we even hit 70 degrees.
Jen called and invited us to dinner so I went out and did the chores a little early.
Brittney was working in one of the gardens.
When we pulled in Jen's driveway, Chet "the breadman" (who lives across the street) stopped over....
with four loaves of the bread he had just made. I wish you could have smelled it.
Had a very simple and delicious dinner.
We had given Jenny several bags of our homemade sauce. She used two of them to make an absolutely delicious Bolognese....
which we ate out on the back deck.
Buster wanted to play ball and Ice just relaxed.
Finn, Coop and two of their pals were making plans out in the front yard.
Home before dark and took off the girls masks.
Quite a sunset.
Night all.

anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere, often aroused by posts seen on a social media website.
It could be just me, but when I opened dev.to for the first time I saw the "bell" icon in the top right corner with a red notification stamp; like the one you'd see on apps when you've got a notification.
I... Just... Could not help it... I had to click it...
I thought this was very clever, so my hat's off to whomever came up with that! Had it been the traditional "log in" or "signup" button, I probably would have not clicked it or even considered signing up.
Regardless of the "bell" I would have signed up anyway because I love reading dev.to's awesome community posts! but the "bell" made it a bit more enticing.

Wow, I have not thought about it that way (new member here, haha) But completely agree! I think it makes sense to have that distinction.
Welcome! Glad your here! I thought it was a really good idea overall but it definitely tricked me a couple times when the team first put it in lol

I wanted to write a quick blog post about the amazing shows that I experienced with Earl Klugh in Los Angeles (Catalina Jazz Club) and with Bob James and Earl Klugh in Seattle (Jazz Alley). Getting an opportunity to perform and share the stage with two legends of jazz was an absolute career highlight. In addition to the musical inspiration, it was even more rewarding to find these two gentlemen to be such great people. It was a true honor and a very humbling experience.
In addition to sharing the stage with Earl and Bob, sharing the stage with David Lee Spradley (keys), Yonrico Scott (drums), Logan Patton (sound engineer LA) and David Kuhn (sound engineer Seattle) was a treat and honor as well.
Lastly, the unsung hero of the show(s) was Earl Klugh's manager. She is one of the best I've ever seen and none of this would have been possible without her steady hand and sage expertise. All in all (musically and otherwise), I am very thankful for the opportunity to have made music with this cast of amazing artists and to be surrounded by wonderful genuine people.
Now on with the Motley…

Honoring President Thomas J. Schwarz
Let's send President Schwarz off with one final gift from the Purchase College community before his incredible 17-year tenure comes to a close.
At the end of July 2019, President Thomas J. Schwarz retired as President of Purchase College. There is no better way to thank President Schwarz for his years of service and incredible commitment to Purchase than to invest in the very thing most dear to him: the success of its students.
The Thomas J. Schwarz Make an Impact Fund was established to build on President Schwarz's legacy by providing qualifying students with access to emergency grants that enable them to stay in school and earn their degrees even when overwhelmed by a short-term financial crisis. Whether an accident, illness, death of a family member, fire, or other emergency, the fund will provide much-needed support when all other resources have been exhausted. The grants are not intended to replace or supplement existing financial aid and do not have to be repaid.
With a gift of any amount to the Thomas J. Schwarz Make an Impact Fund, you will honor President Schwarz and help students who are facing emergency situations stay in school, earn their degrees, and enter the world Thinking Wide Open.
On the donation page, click on the drop down Designation menu and select the second fund.
During his tenure, President Schwarz:
- Made great strides supporting student success, substantially increasing retention and graduation rates far exceeding the national average
- Spearheaded efforts that landed Purchase on U.S. News & World Report's list of Top Ten Public Liberal Arts Colleges
- Became a national leader in sustainability, taking important steps toward climate neutrality
- Oversaw $400 million in capital construction and rehabilitation including new state-of-the-art academic and residential buildings, transforming and beautifying the campus
- Integrated the Neuberger Museum of Art and The Performing Arts Center with academic affairs, providing opportunities for students and the community to take greater advantage of these cultural assets
- Led the increase in the Purchase College Foundation and Charitable Entities' investment portfolio from $35 million to $95 million over the past decade
- Created unique revenue streams for the college, including the Park 2 Fly airport parking service and upon completion, the Broadview Senior Living Community

It's Not Over Yet
Only 9% of economists say the housing decline ended in 2006, according to a USA TODAY survey of 55 economists taken Jan. 18-24. Another 42% said the downturn will end in the first half of the year, and 45% said housing will bottom out in the second half.
"This is one of those hot-button issues," says Christopher Rupkey, chief financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi. He estimates the downturn ended last year. "I don't know why people are so pessimistic."

I got on Facebook and My Space to keep tabs on my young teenagers. I was certain these were tools created by stalkers and pedophiles to ensnare children just like mine. My Space faded into the unused social profile pile, but Facebook became a major part of my life. On my best days, I'm one of those Facebook friends who drive you crazy by posting twice within minutes of one another. Once I had a smart phone with the Facebook app, I was unstoppable. When I couldn't sleep at night, which is often, I would check Facebook and make a post to let all of my friends know that I was still suffering from insomnia. These were usually links to news stories that I would never have had time to read during the day, so I felt that at least my insomniac hours weren't wasted.
I heard a news story that Facebook is causing depression among Americans, who worry about not having as many friends as their friends or not having posts that are as exciting. Most of my Facebook "friends" are no longer people. My family members post regularly, but mostly Facebook lets me keep up with the news outlets I've chosen and alerts me to sales at my favorite stores. My children, who began all of this craziness, never post and they have hundreds of friends.
Confessional: It does drive me crazy that my husband's ex-wife, whom I find to be such a disagreeable person, has more friends than I do:(
When I began using Facebook as a therapy session, I gave myself an intervention and started a blog! Here I became numbers obsessed. I didn't expect anyone to ever view my blog, but once someone had, I was intrigued and began tracking my stats. I was so excited when real searches were leading people to my blog about my kids' mom's husband and his stomach ulcer, until I realized that they were probably hits generated by the picture of a stomach ulcer. Same for my post about the Habitrail. My husband laughed when I saw hits for my post about the best sex playlist. "Sex sells," was basically his comment.
So now, thanks to WordPress, I'm on Twitter and I just received notice that I have a follower! Who this person is, why they chose to follow, is irrelevant. One follower might be followed by others and now I have more stats to track!
A friend just invited me to join Dropbox. It's downloading as we speak. I just hope it doesn't have a stats feature. All of this social media helping me manage my social networks and channel my inner addict are starting to make me wonder if I have a problem.
Maybe I'll start a Facebook page for people like me. And your first post should be, "Hello, my name is x and I'm addicted to social media." Maybe those addicts will become your Facebook friends, read your blog, follow you on Twitter, and view your shared Dropbox items. Hey, an addict can dream.

text: The summer was sunrises but it appears I've switched to collecting sunsets now. I've seen so many wonderful ones in the last two months it is hard to say which my favourite was. The ones I'm sharing today were the first of the season just in the very end of August when me and Victor went for an impromptu bike ride in the Vieux-Port and found the usually pretty lame Tower Beach was free and open late (there was also a pretty awesome DJ playing real classics of the late 90s and early 2000s). We had brought a picnic with us randomly so we got to enjoy the sun set while stuffing our face and putting our feet in fake sand (we even sneaked in some alcohol like teenagers). I might have spent a good deal of our time there taking photos of the ever changing and dynamic skyline in front of me instead of relaxing….

This blue Japanese selvage shirt is soft yet strong. "Selvage" material is typically spun on a vintage loom that has a completely finished edge, unlike the majority of all other textiles. Generally, it makes for tougher material that will last. An added bonus for this shirt is that it's made up of 50% lyocell which makes for a very supple handle.
All Sales Final.

Clark County Public Arts has invited the 2016 Centered Project Public Artists to exhibit their current artwork in July at the Rotunda Gallery. Four artists of the original centered median art project will participate in the exhibit. Those artists are Chris Bauder, KD Matheson, Jesse Smigel and Robin Stark.
"Centered" was a public art project that started in 2016. It was created to engage the empty road islands throughout Clark County and beautify them with art. This was an experiment to see how public art could enhance our roadways using local artists to create and install unique sculptures in various areas of the Las Vegas Valley.
The Clark County Art Committee envisioned site-specific works that were grander and diverse in style and scope than the premanufactured artwork that has been popping up along our roadways.
The "OFF Centered" exhibit is interesting because it shows how the artists have evolved in the last two years, and how their gallery work differs from the large-scale public art we find on the medians. This exhibit will run through July 26, 2019. The free reception will be held Thursday, July 18 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Clark County Government Center Rotunda Gallery at 500 S Grand Central Parkway in downtown Las Vegas.
Those wanting more information about the exhibit can call Clark County Public Art at (702) 455-8200 or visit www.ClarkCountyNV.gov/parks. Clark County Public Art can also be found on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook by visiting @CCPUBLICARTS.

Brexit latest – Theresa May faces REVOLT as ex-Brexit minister Lord Bridges slams her EU plan
Lord Bridges has joined a growing movement against the PM after she admitted Britain could stayed tied to the EU for another 12 months
THERESA May faces a growing revolt over her plan to lead Britain out of the EU - with an ex-Brexit minister calling it "dead on arrival".
Lord Bridges has joined a growing revolt against the PM after she admitted Britain could stayed tied to the EU for another 12 months.
It could mean abiding by all Brussels rules until December 2021 at the earliest, 12 months longer than No10's current transition plan.
Her concessions have enraged Remainers and Leave voters - and she now faces a make-or-break week.
Lord Bridges, who served in the Brexit department between July 2016 and June 2017, is the latest in a growing number joining a chorus of anger.
The Times reports a growing number of MPs are plotting to install David Davis as interim PM.
Leave-backing Tory MPs met on Wednesday to discuss issuing letters of no confidence in the PM, the paper reports.
It would need 48 letters to trigger a challenge.
A senior Conservative source said the "current was flowing" against the Prime Minister.
Meanwhile, groups representing more than 100 Tory Remainers had their own meeting to discuss how to block a no-deal Brexit.
Nick Boles, former skills minister, accused May of trying to "run down the clock" and said the Conservatives were "close to despair".
May also failed to dispute claims by Ireland's Europe minister, Helen McEntee, that she had scrapped demands for a fixed end date on her plan.
The concession could mean continuing free movement of all migrants, as well as the UK having to fork out another £9bn into EU coffers in fees, while having no say in any Brussels decision making.
Mrs May left yesterday's dinner in Brussels after a half-hour speech, as the other 27 leaders enjoyed a meal of turbot cooked in beer.
But Tory MPs lined up to slap down her suggestions just minutes later.
Andrea Jenkyns agreed, told ITV's Peston: "It's ludicrous that it's two years on and we haven't got a deal. Extending [the transition] just kicks it into the long grass."
Nigel Farage added: "This is another betrayal of Brexit... I don't think she can survive this."
He speculated it could mean British taxpayers having to pay an extra £20BILLION to the EU.
But Tory Deputy Chairman James Cleverly played down the suggestion of extending the transition period - pointing out that it was only a proposal from the EU.

Bottom Line:
Traveling long distances on planes, trains, and automobiles is a common side-effect of the holidays, and the stress of all this holiday travel can be overwhelming. Lifting heavy suitcases, hopping in the car for a 13+ hour drive, or even getting the middle seat on an overbooked flight can lead to awkward neck positions and that all too familiar worn down feeling. It's no surprise that many people experience increased neck pain and shoulder tension during the holidays, so what can you do about it besides turning into the Grinch and staying home? Well, new research tells us that you've made a smart decision in visiting our office for help.
Why it Matters:
No one should have to rely on dangerous medications to get through the holiday season. Even some of the most common over the counter medications have a laundry list of potentially harmful side effects. If you are experiencing neck pain and shoulder tension, Chiropractic care is a top alternative. Researchers have found that adjustments can drastically reduce neck pain, improve mobility, and reduce the overall levels of stress on our musculoskeletal system, which means you can feel better without having to reach for a bottle of pills.
Next Steps:
For many of us, travel is a part of our yearly holiday tradition. As much as the trip can be hard on our bodies, it's important to visit with friends and family. We want you to have the best holiday season possible, and if you plan on traveling this holiday season, let us know! Check out the neck and low back stretching routines on our website you can use to help you stay well between your adjustments. Happy holidays!

The practice of acupuncture refers to the insertion of fine needles at specific points on the body. These points along the body's meridians are based on a comprehensive diagnosis by a qualified acupuncturist. Applying needles to the prescribed points with the correct technique acts to stimulate movement of energy (Qi) within the body, allowing healing to take place and promoting emotional and physical wellbeing. Acupuncture is also used as preventative medicine, strengthening immunity and supporting overall health.
When a body is in balance, Qi and blood flow freely through the body. When circulation becomes impaired for any reason, the natural flow of Qi and blood become blocked. The result can be pain or disease. Acupuncture promotes the smooth circulation of Qi and blood, and unblocks impaired circulation. When needles are inserted, there can be various Qi sensations such as heaviness, dullness, warmth, radiating or tingling. In the Classical Chinese style of acupuncture, some sensation implies that the treatment is working well.
A life is worth more than a thousand gold coins.

|"Are you coming in, Ethel or what?"
"Doubt it, think I'll just dither about on the step attention-seeking and threatening to faint until you all lose patience and pelt me with whelks."
Over the summer, we spent a happy annual week with family in Wales near a tiny seaside town, where the nearest neighbours are sheep farmers with tough, freckled, big-hearted lads about Freddie's age, who are initiating all the cousins in the dark art of jetty jumping.
The trick is to time the jumping for when the tide is out and the leap is stomach-droppingly high. Later on, the tide comes in and the ancient bell below the pier tolls sonorously, announcing time for the small fry and tourist kids in new wetsuits. The coolest kids jump in ancient board shorts, flipping, diving, pretending to fall. Rose and her cousin Annabel have been jumping with the local toughs for a few years now; Freddie has always point-blank refused. Even the high-tide soft-kids-from-London jumps were met with his bare feet planted firmly against the wooden pier edge.
Each day, he would announce over breakfast that he was going in this time, get kitted up, come down to the jetty and greet everyone, and then decide he didn't want to jump after all. He'd then spend an hour being preached at, hassled, counselled and cheered on by the lads, sister, cousins, assorted aunts and uncles, locals and total strangers. He would get thumbs-up in the evening queueing for hot chocolate 'hey, Freddie, did you go in? Never mind, bet you jump tomorrow.' Each evening, he'd listen to the girls' tall tales, see their matted-sea-hair, runny noses and huge grins, and swear blind that, next day, he'd jump.
Edward and I hung about cajoling, bribing, getting the camera out, putting it away again, spending fortunes on flotation devices, goggles and hot chocolate. By the end of the week, neither of us could handle the pathos of the towel-wrapped figure shivering and peering white-faced over the edge for another second, and decided to pursue land-based activities that would leave us all less traumatised.
On the second-last day, a cousin came to relieve me of lifeguard duty so I could take Freddie to the honey ice-cream factory for pride-salving cones. She raised an eyebrow, I shook my head, we sighed and I turned to gather the towels, shoes and resolutely dry boy. A huge cheer went up, followed by a splash and more cheering and clapping. Freddie had jumped in and I had bloody well missed it. He appeared a minute or two later covered in saltwater, snot and triumph.
'Come on then,' he said, grabbing his towel and marching off down the pier.
'Is that it? Don't you want to hang out with the lads? Can I get a video of you jumping?'
'Nope. I told you I didn't want to because I wouldn't like it, I did it and it was just as horrible as I thought. So now can we go and get honey ice-cream and can everyone stop going on about it. I won't be doing it again, I knew I'd hate it and I did.'
I'm not going to labour the point here, but 1. I'm back and 2. some of you might just end up taking me for honey ice-cream. You know who you are.

History of Israel Essay
For thousands of years, the sm on the whole ground of Israel has been the site of countless wars between batch who claim, for many different reasons, the buck as their birth. The struggle persists up to this day, and store c overs to spill over what the world considers its devoted Land. Israels biblical quondam(prenominal) When atomic number 53 wishes to look at Israels history, it is important to study Israels Biblical account.This precious volume recounts Israels roots, her period of slavery in Egypt, her beginnings as separate tribes in the Promised Land, and the uniting of these tribes nether a monarchy. Wood, 1986, p. 3) Fortunately, Biblical accounts of Israel are supported by archaeological data, which makes the information in the discussion historically valid and reliable. Israel is the chosen land for the chosen people. From the Bible, we see that this land was promised by graven image as reward for Abrahams faithfulness and deference to His word. Abraham is con sidered the Father of the Jewish Nation, and his descendants were the direct beneficiary of Gods covenant with him.However, the journey to the Promised Land would not be easy it was molded with so much pain and sacrifices. For quite a long time, the descendants of Abraham were slaves to the Egyptians. Still, they held on to Gods word, and when they were in conclusion freed from slavery by Moses, they began their exodus from Egypt into the Canaan, the land that God has chosen for them. After a generation of wandering, the Jews finally arrived at Canaan. There, they settled as separate tribes, but was eventually incorporated under one king.Israels first king was Saul, but his greatest king was David. After a succession of kings, Israel was banished by God because of their sins. Muslims came to infest the land claiming it as their spiritual land as well. Thus, the Jewish race lost their Promised Land once again. The Diaspora Since the time that the Jews lost Israel, they take in b een mixed-up all over the world. This dispersion is called the Diaspora, and has deeper meanings than mere physical separation or migration to other places.This Diaspora is meant to remind the Jews that they are meant to be together in Israel as God intended them to be. Thus the desire to return to their spiritual land abides even after thousands of years of Diaspora. This longing to return to Israel is made more(prenominal) acute by the persecution of Jews in almost every place they go. date there were isolated pockets of stability, the attempt to settle elsewhere was generally a failure, and they took this as a sign that it is time to return home. The Homecoming A hundred years after the crusades, Jews began to return to Israel in small trickles.Israel therefore was under Muslim rule, as it has stood when the Crusades failed to retake the land from them. During this time Israel was called promised land to make the distinction between Jewish Israel. For hundreds of years the J ews made their inert excruciating homecoming, strengthened only by their faith in God that He shall soon restore them to their land. Slowly over many generations, the telephone number of Jews continued to grow. This Jewish homecoming was encouraged by the internal severance within the Ottoman Empire.On one side, the Ottoman Empire was scrap the rebellious Bedouins, while fending off challenges to the legitimacy of the Ottoman State. (Lewis, 1996, p. 333) Gradually, these internal meshs attenuated the once mighty empire. Within the first decade of the twentieth century, the empire lost all of its territories, including Israel, their crown jewel. Thus, the Ottoman Empire was no more. eventually by the end of the nineteenth century, the population of Jews in Palestine was life-size enough to exert some pressure over Palestine.In 1897, the eldest Zionist Congress was convened. This Congress formally declared the intention to install a Jewish state within Palestine that will be recognized by the international community. This move was supported by Britain and the unite States, who declared their favor over the creation of an independent Jewish state. However, the contract bridge did not find steam as the influx of Jews slowed down in the early twentieth century. The resurgence came in the 1940s when the Holocaust killed millions of Jews in Europe.This unspeakable horror wrought upon the Jews solidified their resolve to build their own country and galvanized support from the international community. After World War II, the united Nations declared that Palestine be split in two, one for the Arabs and one for the Jews. As expected, the Arab world raised their objections against the division. Violence erupted immediately after this resolve and continued unabated until David Ben-Gurion, in accordance with the UN Partition Plan, declared liberty for the Jewish nation and the creation of the State of Israel in May 14, 1948.The Holy Wars Right after the creat ion of the Israeli state, neighboring Arab countries surrounded Israel and attacked them from all sides. With sheer resolve to defend their homeland, the fledgling nation with an inexperienced troops was able to repel the invading forces. In fact, the Jewish army went so far as advancing their forces, and occupying territories outside their mandated boundaries this includes most of the land allocated for the Arabs under the Partition Plan, and half of Jerusalem which was supposed to be a UN-controlled city.A ceasefire was successfully negotiated with current occupation defining the new boundaries of Israel. As a result of the Arab invasion, Israel now straddles a land much bigger than what was apt(p) to them in the UN Partition Plan. Hundreds of thousands of refugees from some(prenominal) fronts resulted from this war of Israeli independence. The Jewish refugees who have been expelled from Arab lands continue to flock to Israel, while Arab refugees displaced by the Israeli territ ory continue to settle along the border in UN-sanctioned refugee camps. til now up to this day, Jews and Arabs trap in the conflict pray for safe passage. The Promise of Israel Arabs and Jews stare at each other across the border in an uneasy truce. Even up to this day, lasting pause is an elusive dream as extremists from both sides threaten war at any time. Israel has created a deep and far-reaching conflict that affects the entire world. Arab terrorists attack the unite States and Britain for being staunch allies of Israel, and the United States, in retaliation, is now holding a war in Iraq. And the military group goes on.That the Holy Land of Israel shall be the site of such violence is hence mankinds collective tragedy. Where the story of Israel shall take us, we can neer know, but this much I am sure of the war over the Holy Land will never stop until we find it in our hearts to forgive and accept one another. Perhaps it is the fate of a Chosen Land to never find peace unt il humanity makes peace with each another. The promise of the Holy Land is the promise of peace, and it is incumbent upon us to bring that promise to its final fulfillment.

Blackriver Concrete Ramp - Low to High Barrier
Regular price
Blackriver concrete obstacles are hand-crafted in Blackriver City and are the evolution of former Bonsei Concrete.
Adapted from one of the most beloved skate obstacles, the Low to High Barrier offers a real street feel and different and advanced trick possibilities to the Jersey Barrier.
L: 22.6 cm
H: 0.5 cm to 6.6 cm
W: 4.8 cm
Note: Fine hair cracks due to the slow drying process of concrete are normal and part of the realness factor of the material. The curb won´t break. Just like in skateboarding, use wax to keep the surface of the concrete smooth.

Hello Everyone,
With the generous spirit of the people joining the Pay It Forward effort to help friends find jobs, I wanted to provide some quick links to respond to the far greater need for help for the earthquake victims in Haiti.
A few years back, I was deeply touched by the KIT List people who pitched in for a Katrina Relief effort some friends organized in the San Francisco Bay Area to collect and send clothing and supplies to evacuees. That reinforced my conviction about the caliber and character of the people in our community!
With the recent earthquakes in California, we all realize that it only takes a moment to wreak massive devastation.
News reports say the best way to help the Haitian effort is through monetary donations. Here are some links to trusted charities:
The Red Cross – Text Donation:
To help with relief efforts, text "HAITI" to "90999" and $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross, charged to your cell phone bill. You can also give via phone at (888) 4-HELP-BAY or online.

LeaAnne Bot a 'Master Advisor'
LeaAnne Bot has attended the National FCCLA convention for several years as an advisor and always admired the recipients of a Master Advisor Award. Now she is one of the recipients. "I was always in awe of these women receiving this national award," said Bot.
"So I am really honored to be one of them now." Bot found out about her award on the school's Facebook site.
"They sent a letter to the school and to me and they must have read it before I did," she laughed.
"I actually thought it was a state award at first. When I found out it was a national award, I thought it was pretty cool. I was honored." Four other Minnesota FCCLA advisors also received the Master Advisor Award.
Bot has taught Family and Consumer Sciences (previously referred to as Home Economics) at Minneota for 18 years.
She taught for two years in North Dakota before that. She became the Minneota FCCLA (Family and Community Career Leaders of America) advisor 10 years ago and has helped put Minneota on the map in terms of success in the program.
Minneota girls perennially qualify for nationals and achieve gold and silver medals for their various outstanding projects.
"I love watching these girls come up with various ideas and then just letting their minds take off," said Bot.
"And then they come up with these fantastic projects. That's one of the things I love most about my job."
This year, seven of the Minneota FCCLA participants that Bot advises qualified for the FCCLA National Convention June 29 - July 2 in Atlanta, GA after receiving first or second place in the state competition recently in Bloomington.
Of the 19 Minneota girls participating in the state convention, 16 received gold medals and the other three were awarded silver medals. Nationwide, there are over 6,300 chapter advisors.
This year, during the National Leadership Conference in Atlanta, approximately 115 chapter advisors will receive their award at a special recognition session on July 1.
