Heart of Brooklyn (HOB) was a non-profit organization active from 2001-2013 led by six cultural institutions located near Grand Army Plaza in central Brooklyn, New York City. The partnership consisted of Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Children's Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, Prospect Park (Brooklyn), Prospect Park and Prospect Park Zoo. History Seeking a way in which to encourage visitors to Manhattan to see New York City's other four boroughs, the six organizations came together to promote Brooklyn as a cultural destination. Although it was officially founded in 2001, the organizations had been working together on an unofficial level since 1998 with the launching of the program's summer camp, called ''Brooklyn Cultural Adventures Program'' or BCAP. Through the formal partnership established in 2001 and launched on Valentine's Day in 2002, the group was able to expand its offerings and better pool its resources. The group ceased operations on Valentine's Day 2 ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Quoits
Quoits ( or ) is a traditional game which involves the throwing of metal, rope or rubber rings over a set distance, usually to land over or near a spike (sometimes called a hob, mott or pin). The game of quoits encompasses several distinct variations. History Quoits is supposedly the game the ancient Greek deity Apollo was playing with his lover Hyacinth (mythology), Hyacinth which ultimately resulted in his death. In Apollonius of Rhodes' ''Argonautica,'' Thetis sees Jason and the other heroes "delighting in mass throwing (σόλῳ ῥιπῇσί) and arrows." The Greek word "σόλος" usually refers to a mass of iron used for throwing. It is often translated as "quoit." From coyte: "flat stone thrown in a game". Probably from Old French coite: "flat stone". Possible derivation of coilte: "cushion". It is not until the 19th century that the game is documented in any detailed way. The official rules first appeared in the April 1881 edition of ''The Field (magazine), The Fi ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

House Of Balloons / Glass Table Girls
"House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls" is a song by the Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd, from his debut mixtape, ''House of Balloons'' (2011). The Weeknd wrote the song with its producers, Doc McKinney and Illangelo. It was included on his compilation album, ''Trilogy'' (2012). The song is a two-part track. Its first part, "House of Balloons", was built around a sample of the British band Siouxsie and the Banshees' 1980 single, "Happy House", and lyrically attempts to convince someone that everything is fine in his "happy house". Its second part, "Glass Table Girls", replaces the sample with a darker beat, and discusses lyrical themes of drugs and sex. Music journalists included the song in several listicles and praised its sadness, its production, the use of falsetto, and the song's exploration of a degenerate party nightmare and the obsessed music world. It was performed at the Weeknd's first shows and included on the set lists for all of his tours: The Kiss Land Fall T ...

Hobnailed Boot
In footwear, a hobnail is a short nail with a thick head used to increase the durability of boot soles or provide traction. History Hobnailed boots (in Scotland "tackety boots") are boots with hobnails (nails inserted into the soles of the boots), usually installed in a regular pattern, over the sole. They usually have an iron horseshoe-shaped insert, called a heel iron, to strengthen the heel, and an iron toe-piece. They may also have steel toecaps. The hobnails project below the sole and provide traction on soft or rocky terrain and snow, but they tend to slide on smooth, hard surfaces. They have been used since antiquity for inexpensive durable footwear, often by workmen and the military. Examples include the ''caligae'' of the Roman military, the " ammo boot" in use by the British and Commonwealth armies from the 1860s and the US Army "trench boots" of World War I. Important design work for the modern hobnailed boot was done during World War I, e.g. the "Pershing boo ...

Cooktop
A cooktop (American English), stovetop (Canadian and American English) or hob (British English), is a device commonly used for cooking that is commonly found in kitchens and used to apply heat to the base of cookware, pans or pots. Cooktops are often found integrated with an oven into a kitchen stove but may also be standalone devices. Cooktops are commonly powered by gas or electricity, although oil or other fuels are sometimes used. Gas Gas cooktops consist of one or more gas burners with arrangements to control the rate of flow. They often have integral lighters or (in older models) pilot lights, and may have safety interlocks designed to reduce the risk of hazardous gas leaks.
