Centre Street, Chinatown
Designed by the architectural firm of Hoppin and Koen, the former New York City Police Headquarters building at 240 Centre Street was built between 1905 and 1909 and stands today as one of New York City's most important examples of the Edwardian Baroque style and of the.Beaux-Arts principles of design.
On May 6, 1905, Mayor George B. McClellan, amid the ceremony of a. police band and mounted, troops, wielded a silver trove! to lay the cornerstone of the building which was hailed by the press as the -most up-to-date of its kind in the world. - Since the establishment of the first police office at. City Hall in 1796 when "to facilitate the apprehension of criminals" an effort was made to supplement the traditional night watch, the New York Police Department had witnessed the uneasy growth of the nation's largest city. Between the date of the installation at City Kali and that of 'the inauguration of the new headquarters the population of the city had increased a remarkable fifty-six fold and this growth was to continue. The large numbers of people who loved into the city during the 19th century reflected every walk of life, and municipal services struggled to keep abreast with their needs. However, the high density of population in itself created problems.
Damaging riots during the 1830s prompted the passage of the Municipal Police Act of 1884 which abolished the antiquated watch system and established the police force as we know it today. Under this act the 17 wards of the city were divided into precincts complete with a station house, captain and a. sergeant. Although formal training of the police was not established for another ten years, they were, at this time, furnished with a manual explaining their duties and legal powers. The modern notion of the "public servant,,r however, was not wholly acceptable to the newly established Municipal Police who refuted to wear the proposed blue uniform which reminded them of a servant's livery.. A star-shaped "copper" badge, which gave rise to the colloquial term for a policeman, worn over the left breast, served to identify the early force.
Over the next 57 years the numerous changes in the structure or the department reflect the rapid increase of crime in the growing city, and the authorities' attempts to keep pace with this development. Following an effort to enlarge the territorial responsibilities of the force and to initiate state control of the system, a bill was finally adopted in 1901 which gave a single commissioner of police full responsibility for •administering the city's police organization.
Housing the growing Police Department was another problem. The first centralized headquarters for the department as has been noted was situated in City Hall, where the force was housed until 1862 when the Police Department built its own headquarters building at 300 Mulberry Street, A rather plain Italianate style building, "300 Mulberry" figured prominently in the city's history. Here the Detective Bureau originated the harsh line of questioning known as the "third degree," and here also politicians such as Ulysses S. Grant and Chester A. Arthur flocked to hear the results of the city's elections. However, by 1900 the Police Department had quadrupled in size, and larger, more modem quarters were clearly needed.
In 1903 the New York architectural firm of Francis L.V. Hoppin and Terence A. Koen produced a series of drawings :cr the new Police Headquarters which was to be located on a wedge-shaped site, bounded by Grand, Centre Market Place, Centre and Broome Streets, where ths old Centre Market had stood since 1817. In 1838 the market had housed in an imposing Greek Revival building designed by Thomas Thomas, a founder of the American Institute of Architects.
It is interesting to note that Thomas' design solution for this .restricted site was a long rectangular mass with a blind arcade on the ground floor supporting trabeation above. The entrance of the market was marked by a central pavilion topped by a cupola and the ends were rendered in a temple form -facing the side streets. Over half a century later Hoppin and Koen chose a design which was both a reflection of the earlier market building and cf the most contemporary taste in civil architecture.
Architectural publications abounded during this period and architects were well travelled. Nothing escaped the knowledgeable eyes of American architects like Hoppin and Koen.who kept price with such developments. This awareness was an important factor in their design for the Police Headquarters building.
Spread oat majestically along Centre Street, the main facade or the Police Headquarters building with its central pedimented pavilion topped by a dome and balanced by end pavilions of lesser importance, is a clear reflection cf Beaux-Arts or Classical composition. Hoppin stated quite frankly that the building was not intended to look like a policc station, but was inspired by the dignity of City Hall which Hoppin called "the handsomest building on Manhattan Island." 5 The basic form, which in addition to a central pavilion with dome includes end porticos at cross axis-to the ridge t: the main pcrtico, is also similar to that of the old Centre Market. Hoppin and Koen were consciously adapting their building to the rich architectural history of the area.
Sited like the traditional French hotel de ville within a confined urban space, the five.- story granite and limestone Police Headquarters building with its five-part composition incorporates a rusticated arcade which supports two main stories linked by monumental Corinthian pilasters. The windows of the second story are capped with pedimented hoods and those of the third story are outlined by a crosset architrave. A two-story attic is set back from the main facade and rises like a clerestory above the modillioned cornice and roof balustrade. The main focus of the facade is the central portico where monumental Corinthian columns rest on a three-part rusticated arcade adorned with decorative iron grilles and sconces by Harris H. Uris Iron Works.
The pediment is filled by an im-pres sive bas re!ief of the seal of New York City flanked by trailing rinceaux. Atop the sable sits an allegorical figure of Manhattan.
Although the rather flat surface of the main facade with its arcaded base and pedimented portico suggests a French classical approach to design, several important features are clearly interpreted in the Baroque manner. Two domed towers with narrow fenestration pierce the main cornice and tightly flank the central portico. Here caryatids and oeils de boeuf arc worked into the roofline composition. From the towers the eye is drawn to the crowning dome where cornices are pushed out by paired columns and pushed up by clocks set into oeils de boeuf. The end pavilions with their broken-bed pediments and Gibbs window surrounds are surmounted with low domes gilded and panelled in the Austrian rococo manner.
The classical portico facing 'Grand Street echoes that of the main facade while the Broome Street elevation with its elaborate porte cochere is conceived in the Baroque manner. Here, rising above the vermiculated stone entranceway, a single round-arched bay thrusts its way up past Corinthian columns and through the bed of the pediment. The rear of the building along Centre Market Street is a flat, almost two dimensional, reiteration of the main facade.
Built during a period which produced such venerable establishments as New Scotland Yard and the Criminal Courts, Old Bailey, the Police Headquarters building was designed to serve both a practical and symbolic end. Francis Hoppin stated clearly that the architect's intention was, "to impress both officer and prisoner.. .with the majesty of the law."
Borrowing inspiration from other public buildings like City Hail and from contemporary European design, the Headquarters building incorporated a new, official image for the nation's largest and most sophisticated police force. As the architectural focus of the bust lino community of Little Italy, the Headquarters building plays a vital role in the area, However, as one of the finest municipal examples of Edwardian Baroque architecture in New York City, former Police Headquarters Building serves as an important reminder of the police department's proud history.

How To Pick The Best Skin Whitening Product?
There are a lot of skin whitening supplements and creams out there, but finding the right one can be hard. The American Academy of Dermatology has these tips for your research:
1) Learn what kinds actually work by looking at reviews from people who have tried them before you;
2) Make sure it's clinically tested so authorities will approve its safety
3). Check if any cancer cells could grow in response to this supplement/cream.
If you’ve been struggling with your skin tone, wondering what works and what doesn't work for a while now then we understand how frustrating it can get. But don't worry because here is the list of ingredients that will help improve those pesky blemishes.
5 must-have ingredients to look for in a skin whitening cream
1. Retinol
The benefits of topical retinol include:
It's an effective way to regenerate new cells and can be used for both acne treatment as well hyperpigmentation caused byparentage issues or sun damage. Topical Retinoic Acid has been shown not only to help fade dark spots but also reveal brighter, healthier looking skin beneath!
2. kojic acid
It works by inhibiting the enzyme necessary in production of melanin, helping to fade dark spots and discoloration. It also improves your overall skin tone making it a great anti-ageing product! Helps reduce redness from acne scarring or inflammation caused due .
3. alpha arbutin
Alpha Arbutin is a natural ingredient with less side effects than Hydroquinone. It has been proven to be effective in lightening skin and fading dark spots, age freckles or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The serum also blocks melanin synthesis so it's safe for all types of people who want a better looking healthier complexion.
4. Niacinamide
There is a wide range of products available on the market today, but some can be more effective than others. Reports indicate that 5% niacinamide concentration in skincare has been enough to treat hyperpigmentation and other types skin damage due UV rays exposure such as elastase/collagen production strengthening lightens dark spots caused by sunburn or old acne scars while also increasing collagen production which keeps your face looking smooth and moisturized all day long.
5. citric acid
Citric acid is a naturally occurring ingredient that has been used for centuries as an antioxidant, guards against free radicals and fights aging. It also helps brighten your skin tone by removing dead cells from the surface of our bodies which promote newer healthy looking ones.
3 ingredients to avoid in a skin whitening cream
1. Hydroquinone
You might think that chemical bleaching agents like hydroquinone are the answer to all your skincare problems, but there's been a lot of criticism about their safety.
The main concern with using these chemicals is ochronosis which can develop after long-term use and causes dark patches on skin resembling scars or burn marks from sun exposure. The FDA has temporarily banned this ingredient because it is potentially harmful. This means you should not use the product continuously for more than five months at a time and with regulations on dosage, length of use method etc. There are chances that your skin may darken in response to prolonged exposure too.
2. Mercury
Some skin lighteners contain mercury because it is cheap and effective at removing dark spots. However some brands resort to this inexpensive element in order to reduce costs as well. The word “mercury” or mercuric can be found on the list of ingredients for many products. This means that they contain mercury and this may harm your health if too much is ingested over time.
3. Parabens
Parabens have been found to disrupt natural hormone operation, most notably estrogen. The chemical structures of these compounds are often similar which makes them extremely toxic for the human body if absorbed through skin contact. It’s hard to say whether or not parabens are safe. There seems little evidence that they cause cancer, developmental disorders and fertility issues in humans; however there is no definitive study on the effects of these ingredients. It might be worth considering your options before using them at this point given how skin pigmentation disorders can largely depend upon hormonal changes over time.

PRECIOSA ORNELA presents the new PRECIOSA Tee™ pressed bead from the PRECIOSA Traditional Czech Beads™ brand.
Its dimensions of 2 x 8 mm conform to the current trend in mini-beads. The axially symmetrical flat shape of the letter "T" enables the application of vacuum half-coatings on both sides of the bead with the resulting effect of an allover coating and other popular surface coatings. The strung beads closely interlock and create an interesting zip effect. It is a suitable supplement for seed bead embroidery, but it can also be used for various types of stringing, sewing techniques, crocheting and kumihimo. It therefore enables the creation of diverse types of three-dimensional items. Thanks to its shape, it is an excellent supplement to PRECIOSA Pellet™, PRECIOSA Pip™ and PRECIOSA Solo™ beads, the PRECIOSA Twin™ two-hole bead and seed bead and the PRECIOSA Farfalle™ seed bead in both sizes.

Belvedere
Belvedere Castle. Garden Front of the Lower Belvedere.
Belvedere Palace stands supposedly on the foundations of a Roman camp that had been erected here for strategic reasons. In 1693 Prince Eugene of Savoy acquired field and vineyard grounds between today's Rennweg and today's Gürtel. In 1700 Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt began with the construction of a palace garden (Lower Belvedere), whose in French-style layed out park was equipped with large water basins, an orangery with precious foreign plants and a menagerie. Prince Eugene was a great animal lover, and some animals in his collection could be fed exclusively by himself.
1720 the Prince conceived the plan the summer palace to supplement by a another palace building on the hill of the garden.
The 1721 by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt begun works had been completed in 1724. The Upper Belvedere served in contrast to the Lower only representative purposes and was never meant to live.
The Prince and his architect managed a perfect symbiosis between architecture and garden. After the death of the Savoy (1736) inherited his niece Victoria of Savoy-Soisson, nee Princess Hildburghausen, all his possessions. From her the Habsburgs beginning of 1752 acquired the Belvedere. From 1755 Empress Maria Theresa moved the Arcierenleibgarde (Royal Company of the Archers) and the Galician Guard in the annex of the Belvedere. Besides, the castle stood almost empty.

1770 Belvedere Palace was venue of brilliant festivities:
In castle and park the marriage of Archduchess Maria Antonia (Marie Antoinette) with the Dauphin of France by proxy (per procura) was celebrated. About 2,000 people were invited, more than 1,500 bottles of champagne, which was far from home in Vienna at that time,
were emptied. For hospitality of the guests, there were round tables, which were covered with silver. However, the Court of Vienna had a large part of the silver service to rent of nobles, because the stocks of the silver chamber were not sufficient. Finished was the festival by a magnificent fireworks.
1776, the imperial picture gallery from the Stallburg (home of the famous Lipizzan stallions) was transferred to the Upper Belvedere, the animals of the menagerie came to Schönbrunn. Shortly before the Congress of Vienna in 1814 in the Lower Belvedere the Ambras Collection was exposed. During the war against Napoleon (1805-1809), much of the collection of paintings had to be outsourced. The Corsican claimed 400 masterpieces for himself, but which after his defeat at Waterloo to the Habsburgs have been restituted. The after the French wars completely neglected building has been restored 1850-1866.

1819 Emperor Franz II (I) the Institute of Botany, University of Vienna, had given spacious grounds for enlargement of the Botanical Garden at Rennweg. Franz was very interested in botany and in accordance with a Habsburg House bill - every Archduke must learn a civilian job - has been educated for gardener. In an adjoining garden of Schloß Belvedere he had from his private funds laid out a botanical garden ("Flora Austriaca") which was left to the Institute of Botany for use.
During the cholera epidemic of 1831, the Belvedere served as well as Schönbrunn Palace the imperial family as a refuge; supposedly one was there protected from the bad air, which was attributed to the onset of the disease. Both castles lay in the "countryside", the air was much better here than in the densely populated city. During wartime, a hospital was set up in the castle.
As the space for the imperial collections became too small, it was thought to expand the Upper Belvedere by wing buildings. This plan was dropped for aesthetic reasons, however. After the expansion of the city (razing of the bastions and glacis) arose on the ring road the newly created Court Museums; moved there in 1891 the major part of the paintings.

To 1893/94 it is likely that Archduke Franz Ferdinand has chosen the Upper Belvedere to his residence in Vienna. Other sources say that it had been assigned to him by the Emperor Franz Joseph as a place to stay in Vienna. The rooms have been restored, adapted for residential purposes and supplemented with neo-Baroque furniture. The heir of the Este collections furnished his residence with numerous works of art. He had envisaged the castle for the accommodation of his collections; in 1893 were numerous boxes from India and Singapore in Belvedere stored. 1894 Emperor Franz Joseph could see the collection: "Yesterday I went to the Belvedere, where Franzi showed me his now quite and very nicely prepared collections. The same are as imposing as interesting by the incredible amount of objects and by the rarity and beauty of them. I believe that this exhibition would be interesting for you", wrote the monarch to his wife, Empress Elisabeth. That same year, Archduke Franz Ferdinand showed his collections his future wife, Sophie Chotková,
"Where I unaware of your fatigue with particular brutality you dragged from box to box" as he apologetically from Budweis wrote to the Countess.
Then the collections moved one the one hand to the Palais Modena in the Beatrixgasse, on the other hand to Konopischt. Only in 1898, Franz Ferdinand was granted by Emperor Franz Joseph to move into the Belvedere as Vienna Residence. More revitalization works were carried out and were also necessary. Technical modernization and preservation of the original building condition had priority - as always with the projects of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. As furnishings served still preserved furnitures from Schloss Hof, which were supplemented by new ones in old style. The private rooms in addition to electric lighting were equipped with central heating.

If his presence was needed in Vienna, Franz Ferdinand here could lead a normal family life and escape the pressures of court ceremonial, in which the to him in morganatic marriage affiliated wife was exposed to the evils of the courtiers. When the heir to the throne invited guests to the Belvedere, he was sitting opposite his wife as a hostess while she was ranked in the Hofburg always after the latest unmarried Archduchess. About the cozy family life at Belvedere reported Prince von Clary-Aldringens:
"Aunt Sophie invited us ... to snack into a Belvedere, unexpectedly, suddenly appeared the Archduke - we literally froze in our Hab-Acht-position (stand at attention). He greeted us warmly ... [I got to know] the Archduke as a friendly landlord, who was playing and laughing with his Children..."
Between 1899 and 1914 in the Lower Belvedere the military bureau of the heir to the throne was housed. Other well-known Residents - but of outbuildings - were Anton Bruckner, who in 1896 died in the Kustodenwohnung (guardian house), and Richard Strauss, who lived here from 1925 to 1944.
After the assassination of the Archduke and his wife in Sarajevo, the Belvedere should serve as the residence of the new heir to the throne, Archduke Karl and his family. This, however, preferred living in Schönbrunn and especially in the villa Wartholz. In 1917, Charles' brother Archduke Maximilian moved with his family into the Belvedere.
During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs, but rebuilt after the war ended immediately. On 15 May 1955 was the Marble Hall venue of the signing of the Austrian State Treaty. Today, the Upper Belvedere houses important art collections.
