New York City in Three Days It's your first trip to New York City, and you're only staying for a three-day weekend.

Read on for a plan that will help you make the most of your time—these are the sights and sounds you must experience before you leave. Day One (Midtown) See the Skyline New York City is defined by its skyline, and all city skylines are measured against New York's—the silhouette created by Manhattan's buildings is nothing short of iconic. While you can feel this immensity everywhere in NYC, it's best experienced from the observatories at the Empire State Building and at Rockefeller Center's Top of the Rock. Walk Through Times Square Times Square is where it all happens. Give Your Regards to Broadway Nobody does live theater like NYC. related venues/(8)
Strong Early Reading Skills In Children Yields Higher Intelligence Later; Helps With 'More General Cognitive Abilities' Most parents nurture a secret desire that their child will grow up to be an Einstein or a Rosalind Franklin. While the market is flooded with a number of commercial products like DVDs, books, games, etc., that claim to boost a child’s intelligence, new research shows improving a most basic skill in child years will lead to development of higher IQ later on in life: reading.

Psychologists over the years, in an attempt to understand intelligence, have divided it into two categories: fluid and crystallized intelligence. The researchers of the current study attempted to find this correlation between early reading and improved IQ.
