New York City - Video tour of the Meatpacking District, Manhattan (Part 2)
Hello and welcome for another video tour of a great New York neighborhood by New York Habitat ( ).

The Meatpacking District is bordered by west 14th street to the north, Gansevoort Street to the south, the Hudson River to the west and Hudson Street to the east. It is located between two other famous neighborhoods, Chelsea to the North and the West Village to the south.
In our first episode, we shared the history of the Meatpacking District, including its transformation in the 90s with the arrival of high end retailers. In this edition we will look at some other famous places as well as the shopping and dining options in the area.
Shopping Scene
On 14th Street you will find some of the most well-known international designers' stores including Diane von Furstenberg, Carlos Miele, Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney. But there are also some retailers a bit outside the mainstream that you won't want to miss.
Vitra (29 9th Avenue)
If you are interested in seeing the modern classics as well as the new and innovative, check out the furniture store, Vitra.
If you are in the Meatpacking during the day, and you're exhausted from shopping, take a break and look inside some of the more popular art galleries in the district:
Wooster Projects (418 W. 15th St)
You'll find Wooster Projects, an unassuming gallery, on West 15th St. It a Museum Mile-quality collection, that intermittently displays works by such famed artists as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and David Hockney, among others.
Ground Zero Museum Workshop (420 West 14th Street)

The bedroom is furnished with a double sized bed and there is a queen sized futon in the living room for additional sleeping room. The kitchen is fully equipped, complete with the convenience of a dishwasher.

This is a heartfelt tribute to all of the brave men and women who risked their lives during one of the most devastating attacks on the United States.
On the eve of Bin Laden's demise, I thought it would be appropriate to remind people of the event that lead to his killing.
May we never forget this tragic day, and remember the heroes who gave their lives to save others.

#10 Edwin Edwards
Governor of Louisiana from 1972 to 1980, 1984 to 1988, and 1992 to 1996, serving 16 years total in office, or 5,784 days, the sixth-longest amount of time in office for any governor since the Constitution.
Widely considered one of the most corrupt governors in American history, he actually got caught for racketeering, extortion, money laundering, mail fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy. He went to federal prison for eight years. He was unapologetic about receiving illegal campaign donations. He was accused of obstruction of justice and bribery. The only reason why Edwards is not higher up on my list is because is dedication to civil rights and protecting minorities and the poor.
#9 Joel Aldrich Matteson
Oh Louisiana and Illinois. You both have a long history of electing corrupt and just, plain horrible governors. And Matteson is one of them. Governor of Illinois from 1853 to 1857, he actually had a few accomplishments during his term. This was when Illinois began public education, and Matteson oversaw a strong economy and the reduction of the state’s debt. However, after he got out of office people started to find out about his shadiness.

After graduating from Radcliffe College she worked at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art as a research assistant. She also graduated from the Columbia Law School. In the early 1990s, she began her career in writing, editing, law, and politics. She endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election, and later served as co-chair of his Vice Presidential Search Committee. At one point, she was also showed interest in holding the Senate seat from New York. However, she withdrew her nomination later on. In 2013, President Obama appointed her as ambassador to Japan, a responsibility she executed deftly for the next three years.
------------------
Childhood & Early Life
Caroline Bouvier Kennedy was born on 27 November 1957, in New York City, USA. She is the eldest daughter of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. She had a younger brother John Jr., and a baby brother, Patrick who died in infancy.
The initial years of her life were spent in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. When she was only three years old, her father became the 35th President of the United States and the family moved into the White House.
At the White House, she attended kindergarten classes arranged by her mother, rode around her pony called Macaroni, and received numerous gifts from international dignitaries.
Shortly before her sixth birthday, her father was assassinated. Two weeks later, the family left the White House and went back to Georgetown. Eventually, they moved to a penthouse apartment in Manhattan.
Following the loss of her father, her uncle Robert F. Kennedy became a father figure in her life. When Robert was assassinated as well, her mother Jacqueline Kennedy tried to protect her children by marrying a Greek shipping tycoon, Aristotle Onassis, and moving out of the country.
Caroline didn’t seem to like her step-father and later, another one of her uncles, Ted Kennedy, became her godfather on Jacqueline’s request. In 1971, she returned to the White House to view the official portrait of her father when invited by President Nixon.
In 1975, Onassis died and she attended his funeral in Skorpios, Greek island. Later that year, while visiting London to complete a year-long art course at the Sotheby's auction house she narrowly escaped a car bomb attack.
She attended private girls’ schools in Manhattan and in 1975 she graduated from Concord Academy in Massachusetts. In 1980, she received a Bachelor’s degree from Radcliffe College at Harvard University and later in 1988 she graduated from Columbia Law School as well.
After completing her graduation, she joined as a research assistant at the Film and Television Department of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Career
At around this time Caroline Kennedy began her career as an attorney, writer, and editor. Along with her family members, she created the ‘Profile in Courage Award’ in 1989 that honours courageous public officials.
She co-authored a book with Ellen Alderman called ‘In Our Defence: The Bill of Rights in Action’ (1991) about constitutional issues and also published some best-selling volumes of prose and poems, such as ‘The Best-Loved Poems of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.’
From 2002 to 2004, she worked as director of the Office of Strategic Partnerships for the New York City Department of Education. Against a salary of $1, she helped raise funds of $65 million for the city’s public schools. She is currently Honorary Director of the Fund and was earlier on the board of trustees of Concord Academy.

8. Wide shot hall
9. SOUNDBITE: (English): Mark Geisser, participant from Staten Island:
Well, this was called 'Listen to the City,' and, I hope they were really listening, because the six proposals that we were given to evaluate, resoundingly were disapproved by the five-thousand people in attendance today who voted.
10. Close up Monica Iken discussing at table - she is widow of Michael Iken who died in Tower 2 in the 9/11 attacks, pan across table to other participant
11. SOUNDBITE: (English): Monica Iken, widow of Michael Iken who died in Tower 2 in the 9/11 attacks:
The consensus shows that we need to start over and really think about what we're going to do at the site for the future development of lower Manhattan. And, the people have spoken, now it's time to listen, as it says 'Listening to the City.'
12. SOUNDBITE: (English): Beverly Willis, participant from Manhattan:
We would like to see them do an international competition for ideas, and we feel it's necessary to involve the world because almost half the people who died there, you know, lived outside the United States. So, the world has a vested interest.
13. Wide shot participants in hall
STORYLINE:
A diverse group of 5,000 New York-area residents converged at the Javits Convention Center on Saturday for the biggest discussion yet about what should be built at the World Trade Center site and what a memorial for those killed on Sept. 11 should entail.
The participants at 500 tables beneath a half dozen mamoth video screens included many families of those killed in the attacks, survivors, rescue workers and residents of lower Manhattan - and all set to work grappling with the most emotional question now facing the city. There was a variety of views, but consensus emerged on one thing - sizeable majorities rejected all six of the design proposals that government agencies have put forth.
Participants, selected in advance to represent the demographics of the New York area, cast opinions electronically on how the property should be rebuilt during the unprecedented day-long public meeting. In groups of 10 to 12, participants at the Jacob Javits Convention Center sifted through hours of opinions and presentations by architects and city planners. The meeting comes four days after a state-city redevelopment panel released six conceptual plans for the 16-acre Lower Manhattan site to lukewarm reviews.
Because the issue is so emotional to so many, 25 grief counselors strolled the room to help comfort those in need. Each group voted on the six conceptual plans. Those plans all include more than 11 million square feet of office, retail and hotel space; a transportation hub; and a memorial to the 2,800 people who died. A number of architects and planners complained the plans were unimaginative and family members of victims were outraged that some called for building over the footprints of the twin towers, while redevelopment officials stressed the plans are merely a starting point.
A main point of contention the emerged was the demand of government authorities and lease-holders of the site that all the lost office space be restored - many thought this uneconomical and lacking imagination.

NWDC Living Treasures: Robert Sperry - A Northwest Master
ROBERT SPERRY - A Northwest Master
1998, time:28:31
the biggest inspiration has been that I've been able to combine the ideas of art with the ideas of science into something that makes visual sense to me.
Robert Sperry was an artist profoundly interested in new understanding and new ways of seeing the world. In the Northwest, his bright creative imagination lit the way for other artists to follow, as teacher, mentor and friend. Robert Sperry was an extraordinary risk-taker in the arts. He was intensely interested in visual ideas and their evolution, and he was fascinated with the interaction of materials. Although best known as a ceramic artist, Robert Sperry was also a printmaker, a painter, and a film maker, producing documentary, narrative, and experimental pieces.
This video documentary gives us a brief impression of his remarkable journey - his life, his work, his thoughts, his times and his humanity - as related to us through his voice and the Robert Sperry ceramic plate voices of his community of colleagues - a community that he was so instrumental in building.
In 1954 with a freshly minted BFA from The Art Institute of Chicago, Bob went to the Archie Bray Foundation in Montana to work with Peter Voulkos and Rudy Autio. The Archie Bray Foundation was ground zero at an extremely exciting and innovative time for the field of ceramics. From Montana Bob moved on to the University of Washington where he earned his MFA and immediately joined the art faculty. As Chair of the Ceramics Program, he promoted experimentation grounded in technical excellence and fostered an atmosphere of keen debate and exchange. He deeply cared about his students, fostering many budding artists on to important careers. He retired as professor emeritus in 1982, but continued teaching part-time. In his last years he focused on creating computer-generated art. A man of passion and humor, Robert Sperry died in 1998.

TCF Ep. 412 - Joel Meyerowitz
Joel Meyerowitz was born in the Bronx in 1938 into a neighborhood that offered daily lessons in the divine comedy and tragedies of human behavior. He believes it was that basic “street” education that nurtured his delight in human observation, a perception that is at the heart of his photography. After studying art, art history, and medical illustration at Ohio State University, he worked as an art director in advertising in the early 60’s. In 1962, Robert Frank made photographs for a booklet Meyerowitz designed, and it was while watching Frank work that he discovered that photographs could be made while both the photographer and the subject were in motion! The power of this observation made Meyerowitz quit his job immediately, borrow a camera, and go out onto the streets of New York. He has been on the streets ever since. Meyerowitz began by using color film, not knowing any better, nor aware that photographers of that era believed that black and white was the ‘art’ of photography. During his first days on the street, he met a young graphic designer, Tony Ray-Jones, who, like Meyerowitz, began using color as the most natural means of making photographs. Later that year Meyerowitz met, and became friends with, Garry Winogrand, and together they walked and worked Fifth Avenue daily for nearly five years. The work of Meyerowitz, who is a Guggenheim fellow and a recipient of both the NEA and NEH awards, has appeared in over 350 exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world. He was the only photographer to gain unrestricted access to Ground Zero after 9/11, which produced a body of work that led Meyerowitz to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale for Architecture in 2002. His work is in the collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, The Art Institute of Chicago, and many others worldwide. Meyerowitz lives and works in New York and in Italy. Resources:

US Army Ranger School - The Toughest Combat Course In The World
US Army Ranger training at Fort Benning, Georgia.
Obstacle course: 00:12
12 mile road march: 04:28
Patrols and ambush 07:49
The United States Army Ranger School is an intense 61-day combat leadership course oriented toward small-unit tactics. It has been called the toughest combat course in the world and is the most physically and mentally demanding leadership school the Army has to offer. Ranger School is one of the toughest training courses for which a Soldier can volunteer. Army Rangers are experts in leading Soldiers on difficult missions - and to do this, they need rigorous training. For more than two months, Ranger students train to exhaustion, pushing the limits of their minds and bodies. The purpose of the Army's Ranger course is to prepare these Army volunteers - both officers and enlisted Soldiers - in combat arms related functional skills.
Ranger School is open to soldiers (commissioned officer, warrant officer, or enlisted), sailors, airmen, and Marines in the US Armed Forces, as well as allied military students. (wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_School)

The Color of Education
Nikole Hannah-Jones has spent years chronicling the way official policy has created-and maintains-racial segregation in housing and schools. Throughout her time at New York Times Magazine, her deeply personal reports on the black experience in America have offered a compelling case for addressing racial injustice and equity.
She was named a 2017 MacArthur Genius Grant Fellow (one of only 24 people chosen, globally) for reshaping national conversations around education reform and for her reporting on racial re-segregation in our schools.
This is her latest honor in a growing list of notable accolades including a Peabody, a Polk Award, and, in 2017, a National Magazine Award for her story on choosing a school for her daughter in a segregated city.
She is currently writing a book on school segregation called The Problem We All Live With, to be published on the One World imprint of Penguin/Random House.
Cosponsored by Duke Policy Bridge, the Cook Center for Social Equity, and the Public School Forum of NC, An Evening with Nikole Hannah-Jones is the inaugural event of their upcoming Color of Education annual summit, a statewide convening on race and education in North Carolina. In 2019 and beyond, Color of Education (#ColorofEducation) will evolve into a yearly, day-long summit of workshops and conversations that bring together educators, policymakers, national experts and other key stakeholders focused on achieving racial equity in education.

Erasure by Exclusion: How Art Schools and Institutions Uphold White Supremacy
The art world is a microcosm of the society we live in. It should come as no surprise then that structural racism and capitalism permeates how we look at art; it informs the work that gets prioritized as important and taught in the many classrooms that shape the arts for generations to come. This panel discussion will address the inherent issues of the structures in place at institutions of higher learning that seem content or complacent in continuing to teach an art history that is void of the intellectual and avant-garde contributions by artists of color. Together we will examine cultural erasure and discuss the nature of this oversight with the intention of identifying solutions to the problem.

Eating the Past: Why and How To Study Food History by Dr. Megan J. Elias
April 14, 2010
Food is the 'fiber' of every sect of society around the world. Exploring what people ate in the past, how they ate, who shared their meals, and what they said about food helps us to understand not only cultural norms of long ago but also how these historical societal structures are relevant to our own lives.
Dr. Megan Elias, historian and author of several books, will address the emerging field of food history in America, specifically the meal known as lunch.
Drawing on her research in American food history, Dr. Megan Elias will lecture on how the midday meal -- whether it is the medieval peasant's pottage or the Wall Street power lunch -- allows new insights into major historical trends such as industrialization, urbanization, and increasing gender equality.
Dr. Elias has presented on the topic of food in American history at several national and international conferences.
Dr. Megan J. Elias, Associate Professor of History at Queensborough Community College, a College of The City University of New York (CUNY) teaches U.S. History Before 1877, American Women's History, African-American History and Food History.
Dr. Elias is the author of Stir it Up: Home Economics in American Culture (2008, University of Pennsylvania Press), and Food in the United States, 1890-1945 (2009 Greenwood Press), chosen by the American Library Association as one of the Outstanding Academic Texts of the year.
