Here's where to go if you're a music lover touring New York

New York native and music lover Ronald Phillips says that his city is one of the best places in the world for creatives. Many musicians have been discovered while performing in New York through the years. The music industry's biggest artists consider a sold-out concert in the city proof of their success.

Below, Ronald Phillips shares his favorite must-see landmarks for music lovers exploring New York.

Carnegie Music Hall

Built by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie in 1891 and designed by architect William Burnet Tuthill, Carnegie Hall continues to be a sought-after venue for classical and pop music. In addition, with three auditoriums, it has been the venue for live recordings and concerts.

Ronald Phillips of New York mentions music's biggest stars performed in the venue, including James Taylor, Simon & Garfunkel, Nina Simon, The Beatles, and Rolling Stones.

The Apollo Theatre

To this day, the Apollo Theatre in Harlem continues to be the greatest African American theatre. Even as early as in the '30s, the theatre employed African American talents, which led to the discovery of legends like Billie Holiday.

Ronald Phillips of New York shares that in the '60s, Jimi Hendrix was discovered when he performed in Amateur Night at the Apollo.

In the '80s, it also became the venue for Showtime at the Apollo, which featured the best musical artists. The show ran from 1987 to 2008, introducing audiences to many amazing acts. Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha Franklin were some of the inductees into the Apollo Legends Hall of Fame.

Radio City Music Hall

This iconic music venue in Rockefeller Center is a true New York landmark. Despite threats of closure and numerous renovations, Ronald Phillips says that Radio City Music Hall continues to be a cultural center that caters to people from different generations.

The venue has hosted the industry's most-awaited events, such as the Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Daytime Emmy Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and America's Got Talent. The venue's most notable performers include Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett, Christina Aguilera, Pink Floyd, and Mariah Carey.

Four Places to Visit in NYC

Julie Cox and Naomi Cox standing in front of NYC building Carnegie Hall. (Jasmine Torres 3/9/2020).

Most buildings in NYC have a lot of rich history and culture including the famous Carnegie Hall. The idea to construct this luxurious music hall was from an American Industrialist Andrew Carnegie who opened the hall in 1891.

Carnegie was inspired to build this venue for his wife Louise because she sang with the Oratorio Society of New York. Afterward, a man named William Burnet Tuthill, architect and cellist was hired to construct this hall; however, he never made such a thing before. But that didn’t stop him from making one of the most luxurious and beautiful halls in America.

Not only should one visit Carnegie Hall for its marvelous performers, but just looking inside will take your breath away. I highly recommend purchasing a ticket to see one of their shows specifically in the Stern Auditorium which fits 2,804 red seats that are divided into the parquet, first tier, and second tier. Tuthill cleverly designed this auditorium to that there is no bad seating.

The Stern Auditorium has the best acoustics and is the only hall I’ve personally played at and seen. A few tips before planning your visit is this location is typically for adults however Carnegie does host a few family-friendly events. Tickets can range from $30 to $150.

Their hours are from Monday through Friday 11 AM to 8 AM and Saturday through Sunday from 12 PM to 8 PM. After seeing a wonderful show one can go to the gift shop. After my school finished their performance and was relaxing in the practice room, my mother happened to find time to get me some souvenirs from the gift shop.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY FEBRUARY 09, 1773 William Henry Harrison is born On February 9, 1773, future President William Henry Harrison is born on the Berkeley Plantation in Virginia.

Harrison went on to serve as the ninth U.S. president for a brief 32 days in 1841, the shortest term ever served. Harrison is also credited with the record for the longest inaugural address in history. Delivered on a bitterly cold March morning, it clocked in at one hour and 45 minutes. He was also the last president to be born an English subject.

A native of Virginia, Harrison grew up in a wealthy, politically active household–his father served as governor of Virginia for three terms. He attended college with the intent of studying medicine, but opted to join the army before finishing his degree. As a soldier, Harrison earned a reputation for bravery for his participation in the Indian Wars of the Northwest Territories and the Battle of the Thames River in Ontario during the War of 1812. John Adams appointed Harrison secretary of the Northwest Territories (present-day Indiana and Illinois) in 1798 and shortly thereafter he accepted Adam’s offer to serve as the region’s governor.

In 1811, Harrison earned the nickname Old Tippecanoe after leading a brutal, but successful, attack against Tecumseh’s Shawnee tribe at Tippecanoe Creek in what is now Indiana. As governor, Harrison drew up several restrictive and one-sided treaties with Native American tribes who held desirable land. In one of his stingiest treaties, he agreed to pay a tribe a mere one cent for every 200 acres, a deal which gave the United States 51 million acres for a pittance and opened a wide swath of the West to white settlement.

Harrison married Anna Tuthill Symmes in 1795. The couple had eight children of their own; Harrison also adopted Anna’s son John from a previous marriage. Six of his children died prior to Harrison’s campaign for the presidency. Daughters Mary and Elizabeth survived their father, but only by several years. His last remaining child, Anna, died in 1865.

Boosted by a successful military and political career, which included stints in the U.S. Congress, Ohio Senate and as U.S. ambassador to Colombia, Harrison ran for president in 1840, choosing John Tyler to run with him on the Whig Party ticket. Much to the horror of the political establishment, the two men campaigned vigorously, setting the tone for future campaigns. They employed catchy campaign slogans such as Tippecanoe and Tyler, too, and held boisterous rallies during which they handed out free bottles of hard cider housed in little log cabin-shaped bottles.

Harrison caught a cold on the day of his inauguration that lingered, eventually turning into a fatal case of pneumonia. Some historical records indicate that doctor-prescribed remedies for the pneumonia also gave Harrison a deadly case of hepatitis. He died on April 4, 1841, leaving behind his widow Anna and three surviving children. His grandson, Benjamin, followed in Harrison’s political footsteps, serving a full term as president from 1889 to 1893.

Goldman Sachs' new managing-director list is out — and it's the largest class in the firm's history (GS)

Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for The New York Times

Goldman Sachs announced its largest-ever class of managing directors.

Of the 509 promoted, 44% are millennials.

The firm announces managing-director promotions every two years.

It's one of the most coveted positions on Wall Street, a step below partner at the premier investment bank.

Goldman Sachs just announced a new class of 509 managing directors — the largest class in the firm's history.

The position is one of the most coveted on Wall Street, one step below partner at the prestigious investment-banking firm. The firm now has 2,148 managing directors, making up 7.1% of the company's workforce.

It's also one of the youngest classes the bank has promoted — 44% are millennials, up from 30% in 2015.

Other headline stats about the class:

66% started their careers as analysts or associates at Goldman Sachs.

24% of the class is women, down from 25% in 2015.

130 were promoted in the securities division, up from 102 in 2015.

101 were promoted in investment banking, up from 97 in 2015.

52 were promoted in technology, up from 38 in 2015.

Eight were promoted in consumer and commercial banking — the division that houses the bank's online-lending business, Marcus — compared with zero in 2015.

Here's the full statement:

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS) today announced that it has selected a new class of Managing Directors, effective from January 1, 2018, the start of the firm's next fiscal year.

"Our new Managing Directors have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to our people, clients and culture during their tenures at the firm, and we wish them continued success as they take this important next step in their careers," said Lloyd C. Blankfein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs.

The following individuals have been promoted to Managing Director:

Gregg Abramson Sanjay Acharya Khalid Albdah Amal Alibair Karthikeyan Anbalagan Rolf Andersson Volker Anger Jonathan Armstrong Ken Ashley Lavanya Ashok Sebastian Ayton Jonathan Babkow Julio Badi

Cette image n’est pas une simulation ni un dessin. Il s’agit bien d’une image réelle, obtenue dans l’infra-rouge. Il s’agit d’un système stellaire comme on n’en avait encore jamais vu auparavant. Il y a ici un triplet d’étoiles ayant sculpté d’élégantes volutes de gaz et de poussière, mais dont l’une d'entre elles serait sur le point d’exploser.

Ce système, nommé officiellement 2XMM J160050.7–514245 a été baptisé Apep, du nom d’un dieu Egyptien à tête de serpent spécialisé dans le chaos… Il se situe à seulement 8000 années-lumière, et sa particularité, outre son esthétique photogénique, est qu’il pourrait être un sérieux candidat émetteur de bouffée de rayons gamma, le premier du genre connu dans notre galaxie.

Les deux étoiles principales du triplet sont toutes les deux des étoiles dites de Wolf-Rayet, des étoiles massives, chaudes et lumineuses. Joseph Callinghan (Université de Sydney), et son équipe ont observé Apep avec plusieurs télescopes depuis les ondes radio jusqu’aux infra-rouge avec le Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) et le Very Large Telescope (VLT) avec sa caméra VISIR. Ce qu’ils ont réussi à mettre en évidence dans ce système, c’est la présence d’un vent stellaire extrêmement rapide qui s’échappe des deux étoiles principales, à une vitesse de 3400 km/s ! La forme spiralée de la nébuleuse de poussière et de gaz entourant le couple d’étoiles est produite d’après les chercheurs par le mouvement de rotation des étoiles situées au centre, qui a pour effet d’injecter de la poussière dans le vent de gaz en rapide expansion.

Mais le problème, c’est justement la différence de vitesse d’expansion entre les vents stellaires qui est calculée à partir des formes observées et la vitesse de la poussière : un facteur 6 entre les deux… Pour expliquer ces émissions de particules si rapides, ou cette vitesse de poussière si lente, les astrophysiciens estiment qu’au moins l’une des deux étoiles tournerait sur elle-même très rapidement et serait sur le point de rompre. La chose surprenante avec Apep, c’est que généralement, les étoiles les plus massives, vers la fin de leur vie, produisent des vents rapides qui peuvent atteindre plus de 1000 km/s et qui emportent ainsi de grandes quantités de masse et d’énergie rotationnelle, ce qui doit ralentir la rotation de l’étoile bien avant son effondrement final. Mais ce ne serait pas le cas ici où la vitesse de rotation semble atteindre la vitesse critique.Ils parviennent à cette conclusion en observant que la vitesse d’éjection de matière est plus importante et rapide aux pôles qu’à l’équateur.

Les étoiles de Wolf-Rayet sont classiquement des étoiles très massives qui arrivent à la fin de leur vie et sont vouées à se transformer en supernova. Mais la rotation rapide d’une telle étoile devrait ajouter du piment dans l’explosion. Les chercheurs estiment en effet qu’un tel cataclysme conduirait à la production d’une longue bouffée de rayons gamma, un GRB long (long gamma-ray burst) accompagnant la supernova. Ce phénomène, prédit théoriquement, vient du fait qu’au moment de l’effondrement gravitationnel, quand l’étoile en rotation très rapide ne peut plus fusionner son cœur de fer, le collapse aurait lieu d’abord au niveau des pôles avant d’avoir lieu au niveau de l’équateur.

Nous avons déjà connu de mémoire d’hommes des supernovas dans notre Galaxie, a relativement faible distance, mais encore jamais de bouffée de rayons gamma (qu’elles soient longues ou courtes), les seuls spécimens qui sont observés provenant de galaxies lointaines. Les astrophysiciens ne peuvent pas être certains de l’avenir du système Apep. Il est possible que l’étoile ralentisse et finisse par exploser « normalement », sans ajouter un faisceau de rayons gamma. Mais si ce n’est pas le cas en revanche, 8000 années-lumière pourraient ne pas être suffisantes pour n’avoir aucune conséquence sur Terre si le faisceau de la bouffée gamma se trouvait dans notre direction… En attendant, il nous reste encore nos yeux pour admirer cette magnifique nébuleuse de gaz et de poussières d’une élégance rare et dangereuse.

Poltergeist is a 1982 American supernatural horror film directed by Tobe Hooper and starring JoBeth Williams, Craig T. Nelson, and Beatrice Straight. Steven Spielberg wrote and produced the film, but a clause in his contract prevented him from directing another movie while he made E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Therefore, Hooper was selected to direct based upon his work on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. First conceived as a dark horror sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind entitled Night Skies, when Spielberg approached Hooper to direct, Hooper was less keen on the sci-fi elements and suggested the idea of a ghost story.[3] Spielberg and Hooper would then go on to collaborate on the first treatment for the film. It is the first and most successful entry in the Poltergeist film series. Set in a California suburb, the plot focuses on a family whose home is invaded by malevolent ghosts that abduct the family's younger daughter.

Released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on June 4, 1982, the film was a major critical and commercial success, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 1982. Years since its release, the film has been recognized as a classic within the horror genre and has gained a cult following. Aside for being nominated for three Academy Awards, the scene of the clown attack was ranked as #80 on Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments[4] and the Chicago Film Critics Association named it the 20th-scariest film ever made.[5] The film also appeared at #84 on American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Thrills, a list of America's most heart-pounding movies.[6]

The film's success helped spawn a franchise consisting of two sequels, Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986) and Poltergeist III (1988), and a remake of the same name in 2015.

Plot

Steven and Diane Freeling live a quiet life in an Orange County, California planned community called Cuesta Verde, where Steven is a successful real estate developer and Diane looks after their children Dana, Robbie, and Carol Anne. Carol Anne awakens one night and begins conversing with the family's television set, which is displaying static following a sign-off. The following night, while the Freelings sleep, Carol Anne fixates on the television set as it transmits static again. Suddenly, a ghostly white hand emerges from the television, followed by a violent earthquake. As the shaking subsides, Carol Anne announces "They're here".

Bizarre events occur the following day: a drinking glass of milk spontaneously breaks, silverware bends and furniture moves of its own accord. The phenomena seem benign at first, but quickly begin to intensify. That night, a gnarled backyard tree comes alive and grabs Robbie through the bedroom window. While Steven rescues Robbie, Carol Anne is sucked through a portal in her closet. The Freelings realize she has been taken when they hear her voice emanating from the television set that is tuned to an empty channel.

A group of parapsychologists from UC Irvine—Dr. Lesh, Ryan, and Marty—come to the Freeling house to investigate and determine that the Freelings are experiencing a poltergeist intrusion. They discover that the disturbances involve more than just one ghost. Steven also finds out in an exchange with his boss, Lewis Teague, that Cuesta Verde is built where a cemetery was once located.

After Dana and Robbie are sent away for their safety, Lesh and Ryan call in Tangina Barrons, a spiritual medium. Tangina states that the ghosts inhabiting the house are lingering in a different "sphere of consciousness" and are not at rest. Attracted to Carol Anne's life force, these spirits are distracted from the real "light" that has come for them. Tangina then adds that there is also a demon known as the "Beast", who has Carol Anne under restraint in an effort to restrain the other spirits.

The assembled group discovers that the entrance to the other dimension is through the children's bedroom closet, while the exit is through the living room ceiling. As the group attempts to rescue Carol Anne, Diane passes through the entrance tied by a rope that has been threaded through both portals. Diane manages to retrieve Carol Anne, and they both drop to the floor from the ceiling, unconscious and covered in ectoplasmic residue. As they recover, Tangina proclaims afterward that the house is now "clean".

Shortly thereafter, the Freelings begin the process of moving elsewhere by packing up their belongings. During their last night in the house, Steven leaves for the office in order to quit his job and Dana goes on a date, leaving Diane, Robbie, and Carol Anne alone in the house. The "Beast" then ambushes Diane and the children, aiming for a second kidnapping by attempting to restrain Robbie and Diane. Robbie is attacked by a clown doll in his bedroom, and Diane is attacked by an unseen force that moves her up the wall and over the ceiling in her room. The unseen force drives Diane to the backyard dragging her into the swimming pool. Skeletons surround her as she tries to swim to escape, but she manages to climb out of the pool and make her way back into the house. She rescues the children, and they eventually escape to the outside only to discover coffins and rotting corpses erupting out from the ground in their yard and throughout the neighborhood.

As Steven and Dana return home to the mayhem, Steven confronts Teague after realizing that rather than relocating the cemetery for the development of Cuesta Verde, Teague merely had the headstones moved and the bodies left behind. The Freelings flee Cuesta Verde while the house implodes into the portal, to the astonishment of onlookers. The family checks into a hotel for the night, and Steven rolls the television outside into the walkway.
