<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pomander Walk, an absolutely adorable village, was built
in 1921 by Irish immigrant Thomas Healy. If you feel like you're on a movie set
while strolling <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>it down you're not far off. "Pomander Walk: A
Comedy in Three Acts" <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>by Louis
Napoleon Parker was originally published in 1915. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">English dramatist, composer
and translator<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>wrote many plays,
developing a reputation for historical works. His 1911 play "Disraeli"
about a British politician and writer, who twice served as Prime Minister, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is the most known. Parker also produced a
number of dramatic adaptations of novels and stories, including "David
Copperfield <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>" and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"Cyrano de Bergerac". <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His pays were<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>staged at His Majesty's Theatre in London, but they often traveled to Boston
and New York. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His play is set <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>on an imaginary byway near London.</span><br />

It stood on the roof for more than 64 years. Original name of the statue was Genius of Telegraphy, but later it was changed to Spirit of Communication. It was moved to another Manhattan location on 550 Madison Avenue in 1983. In 1992, a ceremony was held when the statue crossed state lines to come to the company’s operational headquarters in Basking Ridge, where it stood until 2002. And now the Golden Boy resides inside the lobby of the company’s global headquarters on Akard Street in Dallas. </span><br />

But everybody can walk in an enjoy the beautiful mural that wraps around three walls of the space. Rockefeller Center complex, named after John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who leased the space from Columbia University in 1928, changed the form of mid-town Manhattan. It became one of the most successful Urban Planning projects in the history of American architecture.</span><br />

An office tower at 10 Rockefeller Plaza between 48th & 49th Streets is one of the old ones. The lot was not developed until 1937 - there was a parking lot on this site.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Netherland-America Foundation was founded in New York in 1921. The Dutch, and especially its American-based business community, had a need to substantially improve its public image in the United States. On February 15, 1938, the Foundation organized a reception at the Cosmopolitan Club, during which an ambitious plan was unveiled for the establishment of a Holland House at the newly built Rockefeller Center. A sizeable fund of $100,000 had been raised from the Dutch government and the Dutch-American business community, and several months later further plans were announced. <br />The Holland House at 10 Rockefeller was open in 1939. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Center was comprised of the offices of the Foundation, the Chamber, the Consulate and the Netherland Club. An art gallery and the Holland House Taverne, a Dutch-theme restaurant, were opened on the premises as well. Holland House Taverne remained in business until the mid-1960s when it gave way to a Charley O's. The cuisine was a mix of Dutch, American and Indonesian cuisine. Indonesia was still a Dutch colony at that time and Indonesian food is still as popular in the Netherlands today.</span><br />

Because of the Hitler's invasion<br />full occupancy of the house was cut short by of the Netherlands. In 1946 a new tenant, Eastern Airlines, settled in the building. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Eastern Air Lines was a major American airline from 1926 to 1991. </span><br />

It is one of the most famous toy stores in New York City, and one of the most famous toy stores in the world. <br />There has been an F.A.O. Schwarz toy store in New York City for the past 147 years! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Frederick Schwarz was born in Herford, Westphalia. In 1856, Frederick, the youngest of three Schwarz brothers, emigrated to the U.S. joining his brothers in Baltimore, Maryland. Six years later, the brothers opened ''Toy Bazaar,'' their first toy retailing business. Following the success of ''Toy Bazaar,'' Frederick moved to New York City in 1870 where he opened his first toy store at 765 Broadway, a location that placed him at the center of what was then New York's most fashionable shopping district. </span><br />

In 1896, Schwarz proclaimed the store as the "Original Santa Claus Headquarters" in New York.<br /> In 1876 the company issued its first catalog, attracting an even wider consumer base. That same year Schwarz moved the business uptown, to larger quarters at 42 East Fourteenth Street.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">By the end of the decade Schwarz was reputed to be the largest toy dealer in the world. Parents and kids were impressed by his displays of handmade dolls with elaborate wardrobes, exotic stuffed animals covered with real fur, authentically detailed toy soldiers and models of full-rigged sailing vessels and working reproductions of trains and carriages. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 1931, the New York City location moved to 745 Fifth Avenue into Squibb Building, the new Art Deco skyscraper. At one point, there were 40 locations across the United States, but the Fifth Avenue store is the last one remaining.<br />In May 2009, Toys "R" Us Inc. acquired FAO Schwarz. </span><br />

can be traced back to 1857 when Henry David Thoreau, <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>American poet, philosopher, <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>and<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>naturalist
<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>harvested a pumpkin weighing almost 124

years later in 1904 <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>William Warnock of Goderich, Ontario, using
seeds from the same strain, produced a 400-pounder, a pumpkin so
mind-bogglingly enormous that he was invited to display it at the Paris World’s
Fair. Warnock’s pumpkin remained the undisputed champion of squash for nearly a
century—until Howard Dill, of Windsor, Nova Scotia, developed the pumpkin breed
now known as Atlantic Giant.</span></div>

there’s no reason to think the pumpkin is going to stop at a mere two tons. The
vines can grow 1 foot or more daily, and pumpkins can put on 45 pounds per day,
mostly from water. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Based on force
measurements—in which hapless pumpkins are crushed in vices—the researchers
concluded that pumpkins should be able to attain weights of up to 20,000

The column of men in uniforms seldom seen above Bleecker Street marched up between the rows of brownstone houses to the lively music of the Italian national air. It was Italy’s day…”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year Christopher Columbus monument got a lot of attention from New Yorkers debating what kind of monuments are appropriate in what some call this age of political correctness.Concern over what should become of the controversial monuments ― which Mayor Bill de Blasio referred to as “symbols of hate” ― bubbled over in August a year ago when a rally protesting the removal of a Confederate statue in Charlottesville, Virginia, turned violent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over 120 artists and scholars from around the country published an open letter o requesting the removal of Columbus monument.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The letter reads in part: <br />“<i><span style="color: #0b5394;">By far the most controversial of the monuments is that to Christopher Columbus, who served the Spanish crown, and spoke and wrote only in Catalan. Because he was born in Genoa in 1451 – a city that did not become “Italy” until the unification of the country in 1861 – he was adopted as a patriotic symbol by Italian immigrants in the nineteenth century. But the public claim of “ownership” of Columbus by Italian-Americans cannot be allowed to override his key role in the historical genocide of Indigenous peoples of the Americas. By 1600, at least 50 million Indigenous people died in this hemisphere as a result of the Columbian encounter with Europeans, whether from war, disease or enslavement. It takes only a little understanding to see why their descendants do not regard anything associated with 1492 as an object of veneration</span></i>.”<br /><br />The New York City commission was created to evaluate controversial public monuments.January 2018 majority of the commission voted to keep the Columbus statue in place, but de Blasio also decided that the city will commission a new monument that recognizes the contributions of indigenous peoples.</span><br />

In 1986 a line of 18-inch (46 cm) dolls was released by Pleasant Company, founded by Pleasant Rowland. Rowland, who was working for an educational publishing company at that time, took a trip to Colonial Williamsburg, a living-history museum in Virginia.</span><br />

For example, Samantha's Winter Amusements set included a pair of ice skates. The doll also can have a 3-Wheeled Bicycle, stereoscope, winter hat and muff. The goal was to make history personal and also to fill a gap in the market: there were baby dolls and Barbie dolls, but no dolls designed to be the age of girls who were actually playing with them.</div>

The first store, American Girl Place, debuted in Chicago in 1998. "<i><span style="color: #0b5394;">From its inception, it was a doll company, a toy company, a clothing company, a publishing company, and a direct mail company all at once,</span></i>" Rowland told the 25th anniversary crowd. "<span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394;"><i>But in truth, from its beginning vision, it was a company that was bigger than the sum of all those parts. It was a girl company, and anything that was good for girls, was ours to give them</i>".</span><i></i><br />

As of 2017 there were about 20 shops, with the only one outlet store opened in 2018 in Tanger Outlets Hershey. Each American girl doll has a different combination of face mold, skin tone, eye color, and hair color. A wide variety of contemporary clothing, accessories, and furniture was available<br /><div>
Less than a year ago a new American Girl Place opened at 75 Rockefeller Plaza. The 40,000-square-foot store is filled with popular products, including a large selection of American Girl dolls, accessories and hundreds of fiction and advice books.</div>

There are two levels on this store: the first floor and the lower level (accessible by escalator or elevator). The first floor is the place to be with many of the dolls scattered about, including a huge display for the doll of the 2018 year, Luciana Vega, an 11-year-old "aspiring astronaut who dreams of being the first person to go to Mars " . There is also a new salon which offers services like ear piercing, nails and hair-dos not just for dolls but now also for girls. Your girl and her doll can even get their ears pierced and manicures together.</div>

The sculpture was made in 1982 by John Seward Johnson II, an American artist known for his trompe l’oeil painted bronze statues. Johnson founded in 1992 Grounds For Sculpture, a park in New Jersey to display work completed at the Johnson Atelier and other outdoor exhibitions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Shortly after Double Check was completed, the work was installed in Liberty Plaza Park, now Zuccotti Park , in lower Manhattan. The park was created in 1968 by Pittsburgh-based United States Steel and named Liberty Plaza Park because it was situated beside One Liberty Plaza building. The park was one of the few open spaces with tables and seats in the Financial District, its northwest corner is across the street from Four World Trade Center.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />Double Check became a fixture in the downtown landscape and, for nearly twenty years, was symbol in honor of the thousands of people who worked every day in New York City’s financial district. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The park was heavily damaged in the September 11 attacks and was covered with debris. Some $100 million worth of art, including works by Calder, Miró and Nevelson were damaged or destroyed on Sept. 11. ''Double Check,'' was the only piece to survive intact. The sculpture was so vivid that, while it was covered in white dust in the aftermath, firemen tried to save him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Later, ''Double Check'' became a makeshift memorial -it was decorated with candles, flowers, teddy bears, rescue company emblems and crosses by passers-by. People covered the statue with flyers printed with the names of the dead and missing. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDVPp75EIKd1NFzK4yHtAiDtOMUg3yRAFm_8bzhfVix957rh7WqYddka4Sa27eDCQFaYRbUTViubm9L6f8pa_6WgE3iKWdgvS1SvtrW7twmVDpEFXZzyilksIQ61qVBBWZQmLw67tDQ/s1600/DoubleCheck21111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; clear: left; color: #0066cc; float: left; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-right: 16px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="396" data-original-width="618" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDVPp75EIKd1NFzK4yHtAiDtOMUg3yRAFm_8bzhfVix957rh7WqYddka4Sa27eDCQFaYRbUTViubm9L6f8pa_6WgE3iKWdgvS1SvtrW7twmVDpEFXZzyilksIQ61qVBBWZQmLw67tDQ/s320/DoubleCheck21111.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a><br />New York Times wrote in 2004 about Double Check in the aftermath of the catastrophe.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />

He was sitting hunched over staring in his briefcase, a businessman who seemed to be in shock and despair. Rescue workers it was reported, approached him in the chaos to offer assistance, only to discover that he was not a man at all, but a sculpture. Afterward, this sculpture became an icon, as newspaper and magazine photos showed it covered erect in ash and, later, by flowers, notes, and candles left there by mourners and rescue workers.

The complex is one of the most popular attractions in NYC. The group of skyscrapers was built between 1929 and 1940 and designed by a team of architects headed by Henry Hofmeister, H.W. Corbett, and Raymond Hood. Constructed during the Great Depression’s worst years, the project gainfully employed over 40,000 people. John D. Rockefeller Jr. decided that Rockefeller Center should include buildings dedicated to the trade of specific countries. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The British Empire Building (620 Fifth Avenue) and its twin, La Maison Francaise, located on the corner of 49th were built in 1933. To link the two buildings, the architects designed a narrow area, 200-foot promenade between two buildings that leads from 5th Avenue to Rockefeller Center. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The promenade was named Channel Gardens, because of the English Channel ( or in French: la Manche) than separates England from France. At the beginning New Yorkers constantly congregated in the Channel Gardens, as something new was always happening. In 1941 Rockefeller Center transformed its promenade overnight, transplanting crab-apple trees in full fruit and over 2000 red, bronze and yellow chrysanthemum blooms in celebration of their autumn festival. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Channel Gardens has six pools with fountains. During the winter, the Channel Gardens' fountains are shut off and are decorated with Valerie Clarebout's sculptures of angels. Each pool has a large fountainhead sculpture, designed by Rene Paul Chambellan. </span><br />

While serving with the Army Corps of Engineers in World War I as a sergeant he endured a gas attack but survived with wounds to lungs. After the war Chambellan studied at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His most productive period lasted from 1922 to 1939. His sculptures grace more than 30 buildings in New York. Chambellan worked closely with Raymond Hood, the architect of the Rockefeller Center. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Chambellan created these six 33" by 26" by 47" sculptures from the Channel Gardens that were cast at the Roman Bronze Works and installed in 1935. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Three female figures are Nereids and three male figures are Tritons. The Nereids were sea nymphs in Greek mythology, fifty in total, daughters of Nereus and Doris. Their name simply means, Children of Nereu. They helped sailors on their voyages when they faced fierce storms. The oldest mention of the Nereids comes from Plato, a philosopher in Classical Greece and the founder of the Academy in Athens. When Plato was describing the Temple of Poseidon on the central island of Atlantis, he said that there was a golden statue of Poseidon with one hundred sculptured Nereids riding dolphins around the base of the statue.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The actual idea of a race of tritons actually came from the Greek God, Triton, who was said to be the son of Poseidon. Like his father, Triton carries a trident. However, Triton's special attribute was a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or raise the waves. Its sound was so terrible, that when loudly blown, it put the giants to flight, who imagined it to be the roar of a mighty wild beast. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Each figure either one of Tritons or Nereids is depicted riding on the back of a sea creature and represents an attribute that has enabled mankind's progress (from Fifth Avenue towards the lower rink): Leadership, Will, Thought, Imagination, Energy, and Alertness. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you enter Central Park from West 81 street you'll see one of the best-kept secrets of New York for kids: Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Swedish Cottage is home to one of the last public marionette companies in the United States. Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre was founded in 1939 and today the company continues to fashion its own scripts, make its own puppets, and produce its own shows.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The house was originally constructed as a model schoolhouse and was transported to Philadelphia to be shown as Sweden’s entry in the 1876 Centennial Exposition. </span><br />

Lind made her debut at Stockholm in 1838 , first appeared in London in Meyerbeer’s Robert le Diable in 1847 and in 1850 toured the United States under P.T. Barnum’s auspices. From the moment of her arrival in New York, Lind was a sensation. The New York Tribune summarized her popularity: “Jenny Lind’s first concert is over; and all doubts are at an end. She is the greatest singer we have ever heard”. All told, Jenny Lind’s tour is believed to have netted Barnum close to a half-million dollars, an astonishing sum in 1850.</span><br />

She was built originally to carry passengers across the Atlantic to the Great Exhibition in London, and was then to be exhibited in the Thames with her large saloons and luxurious cabins. Unfortunately money ran out before the fittings were completed, and the Nightingale was sold at auction in Boston. During the Civil War, she served as an armed cruiser for the Federal Navy. </span><br />

Joseph Medill Patterson was one of the most significant newspaper publishers in the United States, founding New York's Daily News and introducing the tabloid. His grandfather was the founder of the Chicago Tribune and a mayor of Chicago, Illinois. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> The New York Daily News was founded by Peterson in 1919 and was the first U.S. daily printed in tabloid format - a compact page size smaller than broadsheet, usually 17 by 11 inches. New York's many subway commuters found the tabloid format easier to handle, and readership steadily grew. </span></div>

A sunburst, inlaid into the terrazzo floor, radiates out from this spherical beauty, with text marking the direction and distance to major cities around the world.<br />The giant globe was featured as part of the fictional Daily Planet in Richard Donner's Superman films in 1978.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Kiefer’s first major work was 1969's Occupations: a series of still controversial photographs depicting the artist in his father’s military uniform and performing the Nazi salute, a gesture banned in Germany since 1945. Kiefer visited places across Europe that had experienced blitzkrieg operations by the Panzer divisions of the German armed forces, and captured himself saluting the scenery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of Kiefer best-known works, Margarete deals with themes related to memory, loss, and German history. As the culminating piece in a series, the painting is inspired by Romanian poet Paul Celan's searing work "Death Fugue," which recounts his incarceration in a Nazi concentration camp.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Kiefer first visited New York in 1971 when he was a student. Later he said: “<i><span style="color: #0b5394;">I’ve always been a builder. For me, a painting is never finished It changes all the time Kind of like the New York skyline—proof that all that glitters is not gold</span></i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Originally, the uraeus is the symbol of the Lower Egypt patron goddess, Wadjet. She is believed to take the form of the cobra on land and having her on the crown of the king would signify her protection from enemies. It is usually seen on headdresses, crowns and the brow of statues of kings and queens . The Uraeus rearing cobra symbol was one of the most potent symbols of ancient Egypt symbolizing the absolute power and authority of the gods and the Egyptian monarchy. The snake also bring to mind the myth of the phoenix emerging from the ashes, as well as the Biblical snake, the medical symbol and other iconography.</span><br />

Certain aspects of Nietzsche's work were used by the Nazi Party of the 1930s–'40s as justification for its activities; this selective and misleading use of his work has somewhat darkened his reputation for later audiences.</span><br />

Among the many philosophers, thinkers and writers who drew on the work were Heidegger, Freud, Jung, Kafka and D. H.

Related is best known for developing the Time Warner Center, where Ross lives and works. Hudson Yards , spanning seven city blocks, is a new frontier in the live-work-play ideal of New York City. </span><br />

His Shanghai Expo pavilion had a scheduled life of only six months. In 2002, for a site in Manchester, Heatherwick Studio had created B of the Bang, a two-hundred-foot-tall cluster of metal spikes emanating from the top of a column, to suggest a midair explosion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Heatherwick designed the cauldron for Olympic Games 2012 , and he made a sensation out of it. Discounting a recommendation from officials that it should have no moving parts, he provided the opening ceremony with a moment of high emotion. The cauldron looked like something that should malfunction, yet it worked. Today, the Museum of London has a permanent exhibition celebrating the design. </span><br />

Astor Place’s cube named "Alamo" was the first permanent contemporary outdoor sculpture installed in New York City. It was created by American artist Tony Rosenthal, best known for his monumental public art sculptures. His art dealer Sam Kootz, who also represented Pablo Picasso, not only convinced to use the nickname "Tony" instead of his real name Bernard. Koots also recommended the artist name to concentrate on creating abstract geometric sculptures. </span><br />

Chuck was wrong! The official groundhog Phil declared on February : a slow transition to spring is in store for most of the United States this year. Mixed rain and snow events for New York City will take place into April.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you really want to embrace Spring, then you just might want to head to the Macy's Flower Show. Every March dozens of wonderful blooming flowers declare the arrival of spring. </span><br />

It's held on the 1st & mezzanine floor of the east side of Macy's. There are free guided tours every 15 minutes. Thousands of blooms decorate the Herald Square store, plus Square store, plus seminars on flower arranging, fashion shows, events for kids including breakfast with the Easter Bunny, and more.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This year theme is "Once Upon a Springtime". The grand entrance to this year’s show invites you to enter the castle tower. If you are tired of an endless winter and love classic fairytales, princesses, evil queens, fairy godmothers, and noble knights, my advice is : go To Macys! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Ost trained in Belgium and the Netherlands before visiting Japan for the first time in 1983 when he befriended Noboru Kurisaki, one of the most prominent grand masters of ikebana, who became his mentor and teacher. He taught Ost that a single flower used the right way can have more impact than thousands of flowers used en masse.</span><br />

They’re nice, but I’m also afraid of reading them because I always want to keep my feet on the ground, like a child who is playing. The title on my card is bloembinder. It’s an old Flemish word that’s hard to translate. It refers to what you do to bind flowers together, but it’s not like ‘florist’ in English or ‘fleuriste’ in French. It’s much more beautiful than that." </i></span><br />

The sculpture was removed at the end of the day and found a permanent home close by at Bowling Green. The bull is a symbol of a strong stock market in which participants are optimistic and confident. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />A year ago, 28 years after the bull statue was installed, between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Tuesday, March 8 2017 a bull got a neighbor - a 50-inch defiant little girl, cast in bronze. The statue was installed by State Street Global Advisors, investment management division of State Street Corporation.<br />"We got a permit with the city," says Anne McNally, vice president of public relations for State Street, who said the idea for the statue was cooked up jointly by the firm's investment and marketing teams. The permit is for a week, but given the girl's popularity, permit was extended to 30 days.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“What this girl represents is the present, but also the future,” said Mr. Tisdalle, chief marketing officer at State Street, said in an interview,- “She’s not angry at the bull — she’s confident, she knows what she’s capable of, and she’s wanting the bull to take note". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /> The statue , titled “The Fearless Girl", was sculpted by Kristen Visbal, American sculptor living and working in Lewes, Delaware.<br />The stunt, timed to International Women’s Day on Wednesday, is meant to symbolize the power of women in leadership. More specifically, it’s part of a campaign by State Street Global Advisors to emphasize that companies with women in top positions perform better financially. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Sculptor Arturo Di Modica, who created Charging Bull, has argued that the Fearless Girl statue corrupts the original meaning of his creation. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394;">The placement of the statue of the young girl in opposition to ‘Charging Bull’ has undermined the integrity and modified the ‘Charging Bull. The ‘Charging Bull’ no longer carries a positive, optimistic message. Rather it has been transformed into a negative force and a threat</span></i>.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I completely agree with <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Siegel : Fearless Girl has transformed the meaning of the bull in a way the artist never intended.</span></span><br />

In fact, he pointedly dumped all over Di Modica’s complaints, suggesting they were sexist: last April he tweeted: </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Men who don’t like women taking up space are exactly why we need the Fearless</i></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #000020; font-family: "verdana";"> And by the way in October 2017 State Street Corp. ( the sponsor of he Fearless Girl statue) had agreed in to a $5 million settlement over allegations that it underpaid hundreds of female and minority employees.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"></span><span style="font-family: "verdana";"> Piccolo condemned any effort to move Charging Bull away from Bowling Green, while calling for Fearless Girl’s removal from the public park, describing the feminist icon as little more than a commercial for an out-of-state investment firm. “It’s a marketing tool!” he said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">“The mayor of the city has no right to move the bull,” said the Bowling Green advocate. “I would strongly advise him not to put up with that girl being permanently in front of it — it destroys the purpose of the bull to serve a private company.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Chinese New Year Parade is one of the biggest spectacles of Chinatown. New York City is home to the highest Chinese-American population of any U.S. city. With an estimated population of 90,000 to 100,000 people, Manhattan's Chinatown is one of the oldest Chinese ethnic enclaves. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The population density in Chinatown is 37% higher than New York and the median age in Chinatown is 13% higher than New York.In Chinatown 76.84% of the population is Asian.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2018 is the "Year of the Dog" according to the Chinese twelve-animal zodiac system. The Dog is the 11th of a dozen zodiac animals in the Chinese calendar. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As one myth has it, the Jade Emperor decided to place animals in the order they arrived at his party. The monkey, rooster and dog were in another country helping a god defeat evil spirits, and afterward they headed to the emperor’s party together. Since they arrived at the same time, the emperor decided to order them based on when they met the other country’s god. The dog became 11th, after the rooster, whose year was 2017.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Year of the Dog kicked off earlier this month, on February 16, 2018. But the city's big party for Lunar New Year was today, on a rainy Sunday afternoon. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Before Central Park was completed in the 1870s, there was a lake in the park, connected to the City's water system, that was used for skating. On October 13, 1857 the Board of Commissioners of Central Park offered prizes of four hundred to two thousand dollars for the four best proposals for "laying out the park." Contest entries came from both professional and amateur designers. First prize went to plan 33, the "Greensward" plan, submitted by the park's superintendent, Frederick Law Olmsted, and the English-born architect Calvert Vaux. On this plan the lake was labeled "skating pond". In order to ensure proper skating conditions, the Lake was drained to a level that eased the freezing of ice each year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The world's first artificial ice rink was made in London in December 1841. But it wasn't made from frozen water: the means to freeze large amounts of liquid simply didn't exist at the time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The world's first mechanically frozen ice rink was the Glaciarium, opened by John Gamgee in a tent in a small building just off the Kings Road in Chelsea, London, on 7 January 1876.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first indoor rink in New York City with a large ice surface of 20,000 square feet for ice skating was open in 1894 in Ice Palace at Lexington and 107th Street. This was the first of three artificial ice rinks that were operating in New York City during the mid-1890’s.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Two years later st. Nicholas Rink, the home of the St. Nicholas Hockey Club of the American Amateur Hockey League, was open on the northeast corner of 66th Street and Columbus Avenue. The builders included Cornelius Vanderbilt and John Jacob Astor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 1949, philanthropist Kate Wollman donated funds for a new kind of "artificial rink" to be built in Central Park. Ms. Wollman gave $600,000 toward the construction of Wollman Rink as a memorial to her parents, Mr. J. Wollman and Mrs. Bettie Wollman, and her four brothers.</span><br />

For the next 30 years Wollman Memorial Rink was one of New York's most picturesque seasonal joys. This rink has been included as a backdrop for numerous NYC movies, including “Serendipity” and “Love Story.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The rink was closed in 1980 for a proposed two years of renovations. The renovations were suppose to take 2.5 years, but 6 years later the rink was still in disrepair. The project was delayed repeatedly by errors in design and planning, and in 1986 it was halted because of leaks in its new refrigeration system. The rink was an emblem of civic dysfunction and the city seemingly had no idea how fix it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In June 1986 the 39-year-old Donald Trump made an offer to Mayor Ed Koch to rebuild the Wollman Memorial Skating Rink in Central Park at the city's expense. He brashly offered to reopen the rink before Christmas. “<i>If Koch doesn’t like this offer</i>,” Trump said, “<i>then let him have the same people who have built it for the last six years do it for the next six years</i>.” </span><br />

So far the Wollman Rink has been one of the great losers. I'll make it a winner</i>.''</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The offer was accepted and Trump finished the job in just four months at a final cost 25% below the budget. “I guess it says a lot about the city,” Trump said at the grand opening of the Wollman Rink, “but I don’t have to say what it says.”</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> "It's really no different" than roads or bridges, he said of fixing the rink. A key feature of Trump's proposed infrastructure plan is a reduction of regulatory red tape, streamlining projects typically given a timeline of five to 10 years down to two.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Wollman Rink is open for skating from late October to early April weather permitting . The price for the skating is high: $19( weekend) plus $9 for rent plus $5 for the locker. And meanwhile there is a place in Central Park where you can skate absolutely free if you have your own skates! Located on the East Side between 72nd and 75th Streets, Conservatory Water is open for free ice skating when conditions permit and the ice is consistently at least six inches thick. </span><br />
