interview of Melania Trump that was hosted by Anderson Cooper; which aired on CNN “Anderson Cooper 360” October 17, 2016, was thought-provoking. One reason being her husband, Donald Trump has been openly critical of CNN’s coverage, referring to it as “Clinton News Network”. Many viewers were surprised that Melania decided to give CNN this interview so quickly after her husband recorded tapes of him sexualizing women were leaked. The host and interviewer Anderson Cooper is a television host, author and

In January 2016, Dr. Peter Weinstock who is an Intensive Care Unit physician and Director of the Pediatric Simulator Program at the Boston Children's Hospital / Harvard Medical School delivered a speech at the TED conference.

Marian Anderson was an American contralto concert performer from Philadelphia. Born in 1897 to a schoolteacher and ice and coal seller, Anderson showed musical talent from an early age. She started singing in her church choir at age 6 and at age 14, with her powerful and beautiful voice, she moved up to the adult choir.

Lauren started to walk to her car which was parked right outside the coffee shop. While shedding a tear she opened the icy door handle and proceeded to put her key in the ignition.

My New York Story Nothing ever happens in Flushing. Every day, I see cars zip by from my living room window, while the occasional airplane flies overhead to LaGuardia Airport, 20 minutes from my house. The most action my neighborhood has ever seen was during Hurricane Sandy, when a giant tree collapsed onto the house across the street.
