Statue of female civil rights icons to be erected in NY's Central Park
New York's Central Park is getting real when it comes to women who made their mark on history. The city's Public Design Commission approved a Central Park monument on Monday that will feature - for the first time - real women from history, and pay tribute to civil rights pioneers Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Sojourner Truth. The monument to the three women, who were all New Yorkers, is to be designed by world renowned artist Meredith Bergmann, and dedicated next August in time for the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in the United States. New York's Public Design Commission approved a statue to women's rights pioneers Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony for Central Park on Monday. The design of the statue is show above The monument to the three women who were all New Yorkers was designed by world renowned artist Meredith Bergmann (pictured), and dedicated next August in time for the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in the United States 'My hope is that all people, but especially young people, will be inspired by this image of women of different races, different religious backgrounds and different economic status working together to change the world,' Bergmann (pictured) said after Monday's voteThe sculpture will break what some have dubbed the 'bronze ceiling' in the 166-year-old urban oasis. Final approval came from the Public Design Commission, an agency that reviews artworks on city-owned property.'This statue conveys the power of women working together to bring about revolutionary change in our society,' said Pam Elam, president of the Monumental Women's Statue Fund, a nonprofit of advocates, historians and community leaders including Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer. The design was chosen from 91 competing submissions, reports the Associated Press. About $1.5 million was privately raised to create and maintain the new monument and for an associated educational program.'My hope is that all people, but especially young people, will be inspired by this image of women of different races, different religious backgrounds and different economic status working together to change the world,' Bergmann said after the vote.Central Park already has almost two dozen statues honoring men who had an impact on history, including Beethoven, Christopher Columbus, and even Cuban poet and national hero Jose Marti, as well as a few lesser known names like Fitz-Greene Halleck. Halleck was probably 'a poet you've never heard of, for good reason,' wrote the Daily News in an editorial in support of the statue honoring Anthony, Cady Stanton and Truth, all New Yorkers.Until now, there hasn't been a single monument in the park honoring women who made their mark on history. There are statues of fictional, female characters, including Mother Goose and Alice in Wonderland. There's even Romeo's Juliet, which comes with a version of him planting a smooch on her.There's no man necessary to share the limelight w

Underground Railroad Byway Traces Tubman's Path
(28 Jun 2017) Beside a quiet stream on Maryland's Eastern Shore, a 19th century brick house that once served as a way station on the Underground Railroad can bring present-day visitors to tears as they gaze at the path where escaped slaves made their way to freedom.
The Jacob and Hannah Leverton house is among 36 sites along the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway. The 125-mile route has been getting fresh attention in recent months as the nation and the world take more notice of Tubman's heritage as a hero of freedom.
Tubman, who escaped from slavery in antebellum Maryland to become a leading abolitionist, helped other slaves escape by guiding them north on the Underground Railroad and served as a Union spy during the Civil War.
The designated sites and nearby landscapes offer a comprehensive look into Tubman's life and the final legs of journeys along Underground Railroad, an informal network that helped escaping slaves evade capture and reach free states such as nearby Pennsylvania.
After about 18 years of planning, the first stops along the byway were designated in 2013 to coincide with the centennial of Tubman's death.
The site of Tubman's first known act of defiance against slavery is one of the most popular stops on the Tubman byway.
The Bucktown Village Store has been restored at a rural crossroads believed to be where Tubman refused a slave owner's orders to help him detain another slave. When the other slave ran, the owner grabbed a two-pound weight and threw it at him, hitting Tubman on the head and causing an injury that would trouble her for the rest of her life.
The inside still looks like a 19th-century shop, and the owners have some Tubman-related items, including a newspaper advertising a reward for Tubman and two of her brothers. Susan Meredith, who owns the site with her husband, says people have been stopping more frequently since the visitor's center opened nearby.
Michael McCrea, who bought the house in the mid-1980s, is enthusiastic about the byway and accommodates visitors wanting to get a closer look.
McCrea has shown people around the property. Some have cried, he says, while others have solemnly rubbed the bricks of the house.
They just can't believe that it's here, McCrea says.
Another stop on the byway is the Stanley Institute, a former one-room schoolhouse for black students. Tubman did not attend school here but visitors are drawn to the school from around the world.
I'm hoping our local children, and children all over the country get the chance to see this because it tells what she went through in order to rescue her family, said Herschel Johnson who restored the school.

Washington DC
Washington DC
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. As permitted by the U.S. Constitution, the District is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Congress and is therefore not a part of any U.S. state.
The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the preexisting settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria; however, Congress returned the Virginia portion in 1846. Named in honor of George Washington, the City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. Congress created a single municipal government for the whole District of Columbia after the American Civil War.
Washington, D.C., had an estimated population of 632,323 in 2012, the 24th most populous place in the United States. Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's population to more than one million during the workweek. The Washington Metropolitan Area, of which the District is a part, has a population of 5.7 million, the seventh-largest metropolitan area in the country.
The centers of all three branches of the federal government of the United States are in the District, including the Congress, President, and Supreme Court. Washington is home to many national monuments and museums, which are primarily situated on or around the National Mall. The city hosts 176 foreign embassies as well as the headquarters of many international organizations, trade unions, non-profit organizations, lobbying groups, and professional associations.
A locally elected mayor and 13-member council have governed the District since 1973; however, the Congress maintains supreme authority over the city and may overturn local laws. The District has a non-voting, at-large Congressional delegate, but no senators. The Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1961, grants the District three electoral votes in presidential elections.

Dear Sasha & Malia : From Jenna & Barbara | Prez Kid Advice !
An open letter from sisters Jenna & Barbara Bush to Sasha & Malia Obama. [JAN 2009]
READ THE LETTER ! :
[ PLAYING HOUSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE ]
(CNN) -- Jenna and Barbara Bush know a lot about growing up in the White House.
The twin daughters of former President Bush were 7 when their grandfather, former President George H.W. Bush, was inaugurated, and 20 when their father became president.
Like their dad, who left a note for President Barack Obama, Jenna and Barbara Bush wrote Tuesday to Obama's daughters about what to expect in the weeks and months ahead.
We also first saw the White House through the innocent, optimistic eyes of children, the twins wrote in an open letter published in Tuesday's Wall Street Journal.
The twins reminisce in the letter about important events and historic moments they were able to be part of in a presidential family.
But the Bushes also tried to prepare Sasha and Malia for some sobering truths.
Although it's an honor and full of so many extraordinary opportunities, it isn't always easy being a member of the club you are about to join, they said. Our dad, like yours, is a man of great integrity and love; a man who always put us first. We still see him now as we did when we were 7: as our loving daddy.
But as their father was increasingly criticized in the media and mocked by late night comedians, the twins said they learned a lesson.
He is our father, not the sketch in a paper or part of a skit on TV, they wrote. Many people will think they know him, but they have no idea how he felt the day you were born, the pride he felt on your first day of school, or how much you both love being his daughters. So here is our most important piece of advice: Remember who your dad really is.
It helps, wrote the Bushes, to surround yourself with loyal friends.
The rest of the letter was more lighthearted, with the twins sharing some of their favorite memories of living in the White House, including playing house and hide-and-seek in what many children would consider to be the ultimate playground.
When we played house, we sat behind the East Sitting Room's massive curtains as the light poured in illuminating her yellow walls, the girls said. Our 7-year-old imaginations soared as we played in the enormous, beautiful rooms; our dreams, our games, as romantic as her surroundings. At night, the house sang us quiet songs through the chimneys as we fell asleep.
They also told the Obama girls to embrace any opportunity they had: When your dad throws out the first pitch for the Yankees, go to the game.
In fact, go to anything and everything you possibly can: the Kennedy Center for theater, state dinners, Christmas parties (the White House staff party is our favorite!), museum openings, arrival ceremonies, and walks around the monuments.
Just go, they wrote.
The twins also reminded Sasha and Malia to be themselves -- kids -- saying even if they travel over holidays like Halloween, the girls should dress up and trick-or-treat down a plane aisle.
Slide down the banister of the solarium, go to T-ball games, have swimming parties, and play Sardines on the White House lawn, the Bush girls said. Have fun and enjoy your childhood in such a magical place to live and play.
Jenna and Barbara Bush told the girls to cherish the pet that their father so publicly promised them.
Sometimes you'll need the quiet comfort that only animals can provide, they said.
Four years goes by so fast, they wrote. So absorb it all, enjoy it all! [ JAN 21 2009 ]

Traditionally, banks and other financial institutions sell their own products. However, competitive mortgage have made the role of the mortgage broker more popular. In well developed mortgage markets, mortgage brokers are the largest sellers of mortgage financial products for lenders. A mortgage broker acts as an conduit who brokers or helps clients qualify for mortgage loan products on behalf of individuals or businesses.
The role of the Mortgage functions to find a bank or a direct lender that an individual seeks with a specific loan product that the individual is seeking.
Mortgage Brokers in the United States are regulated to ensure compliance with banking and or finance laws in the jurisdiction of the consumer through the National Mortgage Licensing System (NMLS).
The major difference between a mortgage broker and a loan officer is that a mortgage broker works as an intermediary between the buyer and the lender, whereas the loan officer typically works directly for the lender.

Couple visit youth development centre, reception with Mayor Bill de Blasio at the Empire State Build
Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - Prince William and Kate - toured a youth development facility as part of their visit to New York City on Tuesday.
The facility, known as The Door teamed with the CityKids Foundation to provide support to youngsters.
The royal couple were treated to a dance and music performance as well as a vocal improvisation that told of a young man's interactions with police.
The couple then met with eight young people who use the services at The Door.
The two organisations focus on projects and programmes that promote youth development and social learning and help support disadvantaged youths.
Following the youth event, the couple attended the Creativity is GREAT Reception, held at private work collective NeueHouse.
British Ambassador Sir Peter Westmacott and notable guests including Harvey Weinstein, Sir Patrick Stewart and fashion designer Georgina Chapman were in attendance.
Kate had taken off the fuchsia coat she had been wearing earlier in the day, and was wearing a black Seraphine maternity dress.
She also was wearing a gold necklace with a large ring at the end.
William was greeted later at the Empire State Building by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
