He emigrated in 1884 to the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen. He worked for a short time at the Edison Machine Works in New York City before he struck out on his own. With the help of partners to finance and market his ideas, Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices. His alternating current (AC) induction motor and related polyphase AC patents, licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888, earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system which that company eventually marketed.

On July 16, 2002 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Ritz Tower, and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No.2). The hearing had been advertised in accordance with provisions of law. Ross Moscowitz, representing the owners of the cooperative spoke in opposition to designation. At the time of designation, he took no position. Mark Levine, from the Jamestown Group, representing the owners of the commercial space, took no position on designation at the public hearing. Bill Higgins represented these owners at the time of designation and spoke in favor. Three witnesses testified in favor of designation, including representatives of State Senator Liz Kruger, the Landmarks Conservancy and the Historic Districts Council. In addition, the Commission has received letters in support of designation from Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, from Community Board Five, and from architectural hi storian, John Kriskiewicz. There was also one letter from a building resident opposed to designation. Summary The Ritz Tower Apartment Hotel was constructed in 1925 at the premier crossroads of New York's Upper East Side, the comer of 57t11 Street and Park A venue, where the exclusive shops and artistic enterprises of 57t11 Street met apartment buildings of ever-increasing height and luxury on Park Avenue.

    Introduction: an Enduring Dilemma

    introduction: an enduring dilemma Minds Millions of students will struggle in school today. Just as they do every day. In classrooms in your school, these students will feel discouraged, misunderstood, and alone. Not because ofthey can ’ t learn, but because the way they learn doesn ’ t align with the way they are taught. Thousands of teachers will struggle today. Just as they do every day. In your school and district, these teachers will feel discouraged, inadequate, and alone. Not because they can ’ t teach, but because they have not been able to target their teaching strategies to the varied learning profi les of their students. Too many of our schools are unequipped for the diversity in learn- ing that unfolds in classrooms. District policies are hampered by tra- ditional notions of ability and unvarying approaches to meeting the high standards of curriculum, instruction, and required annual stan- dardized testing. EducatorsKinds often lack the know - how that ’ s emerging from the latest research on the mind, brain, and learning to adequately respond to individual student needs. When students are taught in a way that is incompatible with how they learn, the natural strengths of their minds are neglected. This fail- ure to reach a student ’ s abilities is too often portrayed as a defi ciency of the Allindividual, resulting in low self - esteem, high levels of anxiety, xvii flast.indd Sec4:xvii 1/13/10 11:30:22 AM xviii introduction and disengagement with learning and school.

  • Mary Baker Eddy Incoming Correspondence Index, Alphabetical

    Mary Baker Eddy Incoming Correspondence Index, Alphabetical

    Incoming Correspondence of Mary Baker Eddy (Formerly Chestnut Hill File) Collection Description Correspondence, c. 1880–1910 This collection consists mainly of letters received by Mary Baker Eddy and members of her household from c. 1880–1910. A small quantity of correspondence also predates and postdates this time span. Comments, notations, and responses by Eddy or her staff also appear on some documents. Correspondents include family, students, employees, Christian Scientists, the general public, and a few notable figures such as journalist Arthur Brisbane and suffragist Susan B. Anthony. There are approximately 6,700 correspondent files, many consisting of one letter (see finding aid for complete list). It is likely that her personal secretary, Calvin A. Frye, organized this file with assistance from other secretaries in later years. The name Chestnut Hill File derives from Mary Baker Eddy’s last home in Chestnut Hill, MA, where the file was located until it was moved to The First Church of Christ, Scientist sometime after 1915. Because of confusion about the scope and content of the file–it is not correspondence only from the time Eddy lived at Chestnut Hill, nor is it material about Chestnut Hill or the home located there–the file has been renamed to reflect what the file does contain, Eddy’s incoming correspondence. Size of collection: 38.3 linear feet Date opened: large portions on September 29, 2002 and December 23, 2002 Access: Some material is open. Remaining material will be processed upon request. See finding aid for a complete list of files and their status. 200 Massachusetts Avenue Boston, MA 02115 888-222-3711 www.marybakereddylibrary.org Provenance The Chestnut Hill File was transferred to the archives of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, sometime after the conveyance of Eddy’s personal property from the Trustees Under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy to the church.

  • Charles Fourier Was Born in Besançon, France.2

    Charles Fourier Was Born in Besançon, France.2

    1 FRANÇOIS-MARIE-CHARLES “1,680 PERSONS” FOURIER WALDEN: In short, I am convinced, both by faith and experience that to maintain one’s self on this earth is not a hardship but a pastime, if we will live simply and wisely; as the pursuits of the simpler nations are still the sports of the more artificial. It is not necessary that a man should earn his living by the sweat of his brow, unless he sweats easier than I do. 1772 April 7: François-Marie-Charles Fourier was born in Besançon, France.2 1.This sentiment which went into Walden first occurs in a letter Henry Thoreau wrote to a person intrigued by Fourierism, Horace Greeley, on May 19, 1848: “The fact is man need not live by the sweat of his brow unless he sweats easier than I do he needs so little.” 2. “Besançon” is not French for “Tickle your ass with a feather.” For the magnificent celebration of this magnificent day on April 7, 1845 at Brook Farm, see: HDT WHAT? INDEX CHARLES FOURIER AND “FOURIERISM” 1808 Charles Fourier’s first major work was released, THÉORIE DES QUATRE MOUVEMENTS ET DES DESTINÉES GÉNÉRALES (THE SOCIAL DESTINY OF MAN; OR, THEORY OF THE FOUR MOVEMENTS, to be published in English as of 1857).3 3. There is one master myth which drives all our ideology. It is that there is, and that it is necessary for us to discover, the one right way, The Solution, and that if we then hew to this one right way, everything will start to work, and the world will be all set to turn out all right: It seems, however, that although we are prepared to defend to the death our right to trust in this master myth which drives all our ideology –that there is a right way and all that is necessary is for us to discover and hew to it– this really is not so.
