closing out the show is ailey’s signature masterpiece , revelations , hailed as “one of the great works of the human spirit . ” debuting in 1960 , revelations is inspired by ailey’s childhood and explores the grief and joy of the natural human condition . with consistent grace , spiritual elation , and elegance , revelations has been seen by more people worldwide than any other existing modern work .

these dancers are evocative , and the effect is mesmerizing . i realized i had tears in my eyes halfway through the snippet of revelations , not because it was sad , but because i was looking at hundreds of kids who were gaping at the dancers , not quite understanding the subtext but fully grasping the magnitude of this powerful piece . dance is a shared experience . “in this day and age of technology , ” mr . battle says , “i think we have to be reminded of that time we spend together in a theater having this universal experience together . there’s no replacement for that . ”

ailey admitted that creating memoria was a wrenching experience for him , and the pain of his loss is evident in the ballet’s first section , “in memory , ” in which a solo woman is often isolated even while surrounded by couples and two male attendants . yet the mood of the second section , “in celebration , ” transcends that sorrow , ending in a joyous emotional crescendo .
a pulsing gospel house music score by dennis ferrer and raphael xavier propels the company through intricate footwork and rapidly - evolving patterns . during the creation of home , artistic director robert battle praised harris’ contemporary vision , noting that “he is bringing a unique perceptive to stories that absolutely have to be told , and that ought to be realized in a dance vocabulary that comes from a new generation . ”

mayor michael r . bloomberg , who has expanded the breadth of his personal philanthropy during each of his four years as mayor , has showered another $ 20 million on 400 new york city arts and social services groups through a gift to the carnegie corporation of new york .
the donation , announced yesterday , represents the largest of four gifts the mayor has made through the carnegie corporation , which has been his vehicle for giving $ 55 million to local charities , ostensibly anonymously . the donations will aid a vast array of local organizations across the city as the mayor seeks re - election this year .
while mr . bloomberg ' s record of philanthropy predates his mayoralty , community and cultural groups and social - service organizations in new york city are as likely to be beneficiaries these days as medical centers in baltimore or professorships at harvard .
carnegie foundation officials and an aide to the mayor confirmed , on the condition of anonymity , that mr . bloomberg had made the donations . that mr . bloomberg is the source of the carnegie contributions has long been an open secret and cannot help but benefit the mayor politically . the donations doled out through carnegie range from $ 10 , 000 to $ 100 , 000 per group .
for the fourth consecutive year , through the generosity of an anonymous donor , carnegie corporation of new york is making grants to small - and medium - sized new york city arts and social service institutions in all five boroughs that contribute to the culture , health , welfare and vibrancy of the city ,
the corporation announced yesterday .
vartan gregorian , carnegie ' s president , said that recipients of the 406 grants were determined by the corporation and
reflect the donor ' s wishes to reach out to a mixture of neighborhood organizations that touch the artistic life of the city and help to meet the myriad social needs of its citizens .
in an interview , dr . gregorian , said that he had known the donor for many years and that
his philosophy and priorities in the cultural and social realm correspond to mine .
in all honesty , i have not exchanged two words with him about this in the past four years ,
dr . gregorian said , adding :
i have sent him copies of all the thank you letters i have gotten - - letters that said , ' thank you for this manna , ' or ' we were ready to close our chamber orchestra ' - - just to show that anonymity does not mean one should lack gratification .
from the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .
you agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .
his previous annual contributions to carnegie have ranged from $ 5 million to the $ 15 million he gave last year .
the latest beneficiaries include such wide - ranging organizations as amethyst house , a staten island halfway house for women recovering from substance abuse ; alianza dominicana , a dominican advocacy and social services group in washington heights ; and at least five community groups in harlem . and many are based outside manhattan . at least 14 groups have the word brooklyn in them , for instance . a complete list is available at urltoken
while the grants through carnegie represent just a portion of the mayor ' s overall philanthropy - - last year he gave a total of about $ 140 million in donations to more than 800 institutions and groups - - they are often vital to local groups that are struggling with fund - raising and , sometimes , have also struggled with budget cuts imposed by the bloomberg administration . and the donations cannot but help earn mr . bloomberg good will with the community leaders and board members connected to such organizations .
as in past years ,
dr . gregorian said ,
the corporation has not charged overhead in administering the grants so that the total gift has been distributed to institutions , thus fulfilling our obligation to the donor ' s intent .
one group that received a donation this year is aspira of new york city , a service organization for puerto rican youths that fernando ferrer , one of mr . bloomberg ' s democratic challengers , was once heavily involved in .

though ms . jefferson confessed in interviews to having been somewhat shy onstage , she appeared to have had no trouble drawing out her students .
“the individual is unique and special , and we are here to celebrate that and help the dancers discover that , ” she told the christian science monitor in 1992 . “we believe you can’t be a dancer if your spirit is restrained and cut off . you must touch that special thing inside . ”
the little boy in front of me can’t stay in his seat anymore . his tiny shoulders have been shaking in rhythm with the music since the show started , and now , 20 minutes in , he’s up on his feet , raising his hands , big brown eyes sternly focused on the dancers in front of him while he dances furiously in place . with one quick glance down the row , you’ll see that every other child is shaking , too , their tiny heads swinging around while they clap and call out to the dancers , who are busy pushing themselves to every corner of the stage .

spudbar is an australian baked potato chain , founded in 2000 in fitzroy , victoria .

it is the largest australian owned potato franchise with locations throughout victoria .

its ventures in western australia ( at cannington and joondalup ) were unsuccessful , with both stores going out of business .

smartcompany attempted to contact spudbar , however , no official comment was available prior to publication .

this growth had previously led to spudbar opening two company - owned stores in western australia in a bid to expand its brand , with outlets in the perth suburbs of cannington and joondalup .
spudbar was founded in 2000 around the simple promise to create delicious food that’s healthy , great value , quick and casual . we discovered the spud was the perfect platform to build a meal around – delicious , filling and much healthier than the typical meal staples of pasta , bread and rice .

in its hometown of melbourne , the baked potato chain has grown to 11 stores since its initial launch in 2000 .
however , both stores eventually closed , with the first going out of business 18 months ago , and the second closing in january of this year .
despite the closures , the company is planning to embark on a second round of national expansion .
smartcompany understands the company is working with a franchisee in western australia ahead of a future store opening .
in addition to the parth - based store , the company is also advertising franchise opportunities in canberra , hobart , adelaide , perth , darwin , the gold coast , brisbane and sydney .
according to the advertisements , an investment of between $ 230 , 000 and $ 290 , 000 will be required to open each store .
the chain is one of a number of rapidly expanding melbourne - based fast food retailers in australia , including noodle box and roll’d .
however , there are clear risks to the national expansion of a fast food franchise .
back in 2010 , fast food chain souvlaki hut collapsed into administration just 10 months after being named one of australia’s fastest growing franchises .

clayton thompson had high hopes for the jaffle jaffle group when he started the gourmet toasted - sandwich chain .
thompson already had one successful business under his belt as the original founder of the spud bar chain which he later sold .
he started jaffle jaffle in late 2013 selling a range of toasted sandwiches , chips and milkshakes from three outlets in geelong and melbourne to a wave of positive coverage on social media and in the food press .
but by january this year thompson had to call in the administrators . gideon rathner from lowe lippmann placed the business in liquidation on march 2 and jaffle jaffle was wound up .
i am deeply sorry for the stress and pressure that the administration process has caused all stakeholders ,
thompson says .
he says the jaffle jaffle store at westfield geelong was hit by high rents and lower than forecasted sales .
the opening of two new
high - profile food retailers
in the food court was also an issue .
there simply were not enough customers to go around and the centre has seen multiple store closures as a result ,
thompson says .
he says jaffle jaffle ' s store in melbourne ' s central business district at 567 collins street was impacted by delays in other tenants opening .
the office tower above the store was to be 75 per cent occupied by tenants at store opening . the actual number was closer to 20 per cent , which impacted on the amount of potential customers visiting the food precinct .
thompson also complained of
budget blowouts
at all three sites and an ill - fated decision to introduce a new menu in a bid to increase average spend per head and
future proof
jaffle jaffle .
the exercise cost in excess of $ 100k with no immediate increase in sales or average spend per head ,
thompson says .
he says his statement is
not to make excuses but to help [ creditors ] find closure on what i ' m sure has been a very difficult time
.
the aftermath of the collapse left more than $ 1 . 3 million owing to creditors .
unsecured creditors included the australian taxation office , construction company mccoll smith projects , meris food equipment , office manager investa are owed over $ 100 , 000 while secured creditor , private company generation wise pty ltd , is owed $ 1 . 2 million .
ken burgin , the owner of profitable hospitality , a consultancy that advises restaurants and catering groups , says it ' s unusual to get a
warts and all behind the scenes account
like that provided by thompson .
jaffles are an old - fashioned concept . i suppose it ' s meant to be retro but the problem is jaffles are not seen as an expensive food item ,
he says .
it ' s a very narrow concept .
burgin says it can be
brutal
for a business when other tenants in a building are yet to open .
early tenants get promised the world but there is often a couple of years which are lean ,
he says .
i ' m sure there were special deals and assistance to start with but it is hard to make up for no foot traffic . shopping centres are very difficult as well , as there are often five - year leases , full refits required and rent of 15 per cent to 20 per cent of turnover which is a lot higher than independents .

bay view expects to hold a special meeting of its stockholders to approve the transaction with u . s . bank . stockholders will also vote to approve a plan to sell remaining assets and distribute the cash next year to bay view ' s stockholders after the company pays off outstanding debts .
bay view was long rumored to be a takeover candidate , but the complexity of monday ' s deal was a reminder of how the days when bankers were willing to pay any price for an attractive franchise are now just a memory . the transactions were announced after the close of trading in new york . bay view rose 33 cents a share , or almost 6 percent , to close at $ 5 . 90 , near its 52 - week low of $ 5 . 51 . u . s . bank said it expects add bay view bank ' s 550 retail employees to its payroll and to continue operating bay view bank ' s redwood city facilities and . the minneapolis bank also plans to retain many of bay view ' s back - office employees in its ongoing operations .
u . s . bank has long been interested in expanding its california franchise . the bank entered the bay area in 1996 with the purchase of california community bancshares in the east bay . u . s . bank officials hinted that their larger bay area franchise will be able to support broader product offerings .
the bay view historical society’s kathy mulvey is glad the real estate company will showcase mementos of bay view’s past . “we’re tremendously aware of how important it is to remember past businesses and where they came from and where we came from , ” said mulvey .
bay view is not in a strong bargaining position ,
said joseph morford , an analyst with the brokerage dain rauscher wessels .
years ago , sliker took an interest in researching the history of the “cream city” and specifically the bay view neighborhood . “as i met older people while selling their homes , i heard a lot of stories about what bay view was like in the past , ” said sliker .
bay view tried to find a buyer for fmac during the summer , to ease the way for a sale of the rest of the company .
the cream city real estate company’s new bay view office , 3474 s . pennsylvania ave . , northeast of the intersection of morgan and kinnickinnic avenues , is set to open june 18 . it will display bay view - related antiques and memorabilia from the collection of company owner joan sliker .
matthew sliker is the nephew of company owner joan sliker . he’s a uw - milwaukee journalism student who grew up in the bay view area .
still , with its financial position deteriorating and regulators banging at the door , bay view will probably be forced to conclude a deal , analysts said .
bay view federal savings and loan association located at 2121 south el camino real , san mateo , ca was established as a savings & loan association .
bay view ' s plan was to package fmac ' s loans for sale to investors . but the market for such loans shut down , leaving the bank stuck with an expensive sales operation and little revenue .
bay view put itself up for sale in may , after a disastrous foray into lending to owners of fast - food restaurants , gas stations and other franchises .
all the historical connections and stories along with some bay view antiques which the owner has lached onto are really special . am looking forward to a walk through .
bay federal credit union is your best local option for auto and home loans .
the san mateo bank said monday that minneapolis - based u . s . bancorp will buy bay view ' s retail branches and other selected operations , while washington mutual will buy $ 1 billion in multifamily and commercial real estate loans at a slight premium to book value .
first federal bank is in waukesha at 1801 summit ave . , 134 wisconsin ave . and 1617 e . racine ave . , with a new office on its way in brookfield . bay view federal ' s office is at 3974 s . howell ave . in milwaukee .
we are delighted that our branch customers will be offered a wide breadth of products and services that u . s . bank has at its disposal ,
said bob goldstein , president and ceo of bay view .
we consider this opportunity to be favorable not only for our customers , but also for our retail bank employees .
but talks with ge capital broke down after the bank disclosed that fmac ' s chief executive was the subject of a multimillion - dollar fraud judgment for cheating business partners , sources said . bay view was then forced to shut fmac ' s operations and fire most of its staff .
the bank has $ 6 billion in assets and 58 offices in the bay area , giving it one of the region ' s premier branch networks . in san mateo county , it ranks third behind bank of america and wells in deposits .
analysts predict that bay view will get somewhere between $ 10 and $ 12 a share in a sale , or approximately $ 350 million , from a buyer eager to get the bank ' s strong market position in the corridor between san francisco and san jose . still , they caution that the bank ' s financial and regulatory problems could reduce the price .
the collapse of its franchise loan business forced a huge write - off and a staggering $ 234 . 5 million loss in the three months ended in september . at about the same time , federal bank regulators ordered bay view to come up with a plan to ensure that it maintains sufficient capital .
a man who can calm widespread financial panic by stacking gold on the counter of a bank in public view , demonstrating confidence and financial stability is one we ' re proud to have as part of our heritage . bank of america ' s oldest heritage bank in los angeles , a farmer ' s and merchant ' s bank was instrumental in the development of the city into a thriving urban metropolis .
most of the potential buyers who covet bay view ' s branch network do not want anything to do with the franchise credits . so the bank is negotiating separately with institutions that might want the loan package , including ge capital , the financial division of general electric , according to sources familiar with the matter .
u . s . bank customers throughout the greater bay area will begin to see a host of new consumer , commercial and trust financial services and products ,
said jerry grundhofer , president and ceo of u . s . bank .
this branch purchase and deposit assumption will strengthen our geographic footprint in california and provide an entry into important fast - growing communities in the greater bay area .
she hopes her collection will bring back memories for those who lived here during that time period and also connect with those who are new to the area . “bay view draws people now because of the great neighborhood they built back then , ” sliker said .
bank of america ' s oldest heritage bank in chicago was instrumental in developing chicago during its population boom and the rebuilding of the city after the great fire .
bay view could yet choose to remain independent if the bids it gets are disappointing . and , indeed , if the franchise loans are unloaded separately , analysts expect the package to sell at a deep discount , because of worries about the quality of the credits .
