Review: Why Boys Don't Play With Dolls,By KATHA POLLITT

“Why Boys Don’t Play with Dolls,” Pollitt talks about why boys should not play with dolls?Why toys are given to children according to their gender?Why girls cant play with trucks? She means that our environment makes us do so.Otherwise both genders should play with all kind of toys.Pollitt claims that males and females’ personalities and behaviors are derived from social conditioning.
It is perfectly OK and 100% acceptable for a boy to play with a doll. It's been a topic that has been well documented and researched by child psychaistrists.As a good observer I can tell you boys play with dolls.Their parents may not know but they do when they are given free choice of playthings in a school or daycare center. And why not let them play with dolls? Men are afraid of hurting newborn babies by picking holding them the wrong way.Why not let them get an early hands on experience to take care of a baby doll. Would you stop your daughter from playing with a car or truck because it might bring out her manly side? In this day and age men need to take a major part in caring children and women need to have basic men kind of skills.Both gender need some knowledge of the other's traditional role in the family. Boys playing with dolls can only help him show emotions.Boys should also do cooking because men are the best chefs.Superman, Spiderman,Batman & other characters like that also affected the behaviours of both genders.If boys can play with stuffed animals then they should also play with dolls too.
Baby children of both genders should play together. They should mix boy toys and girl toys it will help them understanding others mind too.It also makes both genders more caring & positive minded.
Our society,media and atmosphere makes a childs mind.Our society,media and atmosphere always remains busy in giving gender discrimination messages which affect both gender and causes them to choose toys by their gender.
Therefore I agree with KATHA POLLITT,we should not limit toys according to genders.I don't think it's wrong for any child to play with any toy or participating in any activity as long as they are having fun and are able to play appropriately.

ppl we r startin our blog by postin abt Amsterdam ArenA coz thix is OurArena........haha

Amsterdam ArenA

Amsterdam ArenA is a stadium in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The stadium was built from 1993 to 1996 at a cost of €140 million, and was officially opened on August 14, 1996. It has been used for association football, American football, concerts, and other events. The stadium has a retractable roof combined with a grass surface. It has a capacity of 51,628 seats during sports matches and 68,000 places during concerts.

The stadium is the home of the association football club AFC Ajax (1996–present) and was the home of the now-retired American football club Amsterdam Admirals (1996–2007). It was one of the stadiums used during UEFA Euro 2000. Dutch and international artists gave concerts in the ArenA, such as André Hazes and The Rolling Stones. Every year the dance event Sensation is held in the stadium.

History

Amsterdam was one of six cities that bid to host the 1992 Summer Olympics. In 1986, a new Olympic stadium was designed, with a football field and an athletics track. It was to be built in the area of Strandvliet in Amsterdam Zuidoost. After Amsterdam lost the bid to Barcelona in October 1986, the plans for the new stadium were abandoned. In 1987, the Stichting Amsterdam Sportstad (English: "Amsterdam Sports City Foundation") was established, which made new plans for a sports stadium with an all-seated capacity of 55,000. In 1990, a new design was made based on both previous designs, with a football field, an athletics track, and completely covered by a roof. By this time, AFC Ajax needed a new stadium, because their old stadium De Meer no longer had sufficient capacity.

Once more the design was altered: the athletics track was removed, the capacity was reduced to 50,000 seats, and the fixed roof was replaced by a retractable roof. In 1992, the Government of Amsterdam authorised the plans for the stadium with a Transferium where people could transfer from their car to various forms of public transportation. In 1993, the Government of Amsterdam changed the development plan of the location and gave a permit to build the stadium.

The first pile of the deep foundation of the stadium was placed on November 26, 1993. The construction work would take almost three years. The highest point of the building was reached on February 24, 1995, after the roof construction was raised. The fly-over from the public road to the parking facilities was opened on March 13, 1996. The Amsterdam ArenA received 180,000 visitors during the construction work, until the stadium was closed from July 1, 1996 until the opening ceremony.The Amsterdam ArenA was officially opened on August 14, 1996 by Queen Beatrix.

The Queen opened the Amsterdam ArenA by making a curtain fall inside the stadium. This revealed the world's largest painting De Zee (English: The Sea) of 80 × 126 metres. Two-dimensional ships were placed on the sea representing the clubs in the Eredivisie. Trijntje Oosterhuis sang the hymn De Zee, composed for the opening ceremony by John Ewbank. An eight-day torch relay with 375 runners over 1400 kilometer through the Netherlands reached the stadium. The first runner was Johan Cruijff starting in the old stadium De Meer, the last runner was Frank Rijkaard arriving in the new stadium Amsterdam ArenA. After the grass was revealed and the roof opened, an inaugural football match was played between AFC Ajax and AC Milan.

The construction of the Amsterdam ArenA cost €140 million.

The stadium combines a retractable roof with a grass surface. This caused some problems in the beginning: the grass rolls would not grow in the shade of the open roof and had to be replaced up to four times a year.

Building and facilities

Its all-seated capacity is 51,628. During music concerts, the stadium has a maximum capacity of 68,000 visitors.

The parking capacity of the Transferium is 500 cars(inside); there are additional 12.000 spots outside.

The Amsterdam ArenA is one of two stadiums in the Netherlands that is rated with five stars by UEFA, the other being the Feijenoord Stadion in Rotterdam.

The Ajax Museum is located in the stadium, which shows the more than 100 years of history of Ajax.

The nearest train station is Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA.
