Tibetans in the New York Metro Area QUICK FACTS: ALL PEOPLES INITIATI VE LAST UPDATED: 11/2009
Tibetans in the New York Metro Area QUICK FACTS: ALL PEOPLES INITIATI VE LAST UPDATED: 11/2009 Place of Origin: Sonam Tashi, a Tibetan man whose father was killed by Chinese border patrol when he Tibet (China) via India was three years old, comes on March 10th of every year to a plaza by the UN building, ral- (mainly Dharamsala) lying on behalf of a free Tibet. He solemnly claims, “Every people need a freedom [....] Lot and Nepal of people in China are not free.” It has been about fifty years since the Chinese occupied Tibet, and the sting is still felt by the estimated three thousand Tibetans who now live in Significant Subgroups: the New York Metro area.1 On the March 10th National Tibetan Uprising Day, hundreds of Tibetans often organize along the four main Tibetans and sympathizers march to the UN and Chinese Consulate, shouting such cries schools of Tibetan Bud- as, “China lie, people die,” and, “China out of Tibet now.” While New York is where they dhism (Gelugpas, live, it is certainly not their home.

Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal 21— 24 September, 2014
Canadian Centre Museum of for Architecture, Modern Art and Montreal Avery Library, 21— 24 September, New York 2014 25 — 28 September, 2014 Twenty-five years ago the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) opened its doors for the first time and hosted, as one of its inaugural activities, icam 5. For the CCA, as for other members of icam, it is crucial to recognize that our immediate contexts and institutional mandates are quite different today from what they were then. Needless to say, the field is changing and the challenges we face in relation to the built environment are multiple, pressing and in need of re-evaluation. Technology, for example, has both infiltrated our way of life and affected the way in which institutions operate. At the same time, the primacy of historical research has been displaced by a desire to remain current, relevant and broadly recognized as shaping contemporary discourse. It is our responsibility to develop a voice that reaches out and establishes a cultural presence while introducing new questions and offering new possibilities to a larger public no longer determined by their physical vicinity. As resources become scarce, these pressures will likely continue to grow. In this sense it is an opportune moment to pursue the benefits of greater collaboration and take note of emerging models in Africa and Asia. These considerations, indicative of the need to rethink our institutional roles in the years to come, are essential if we wish to continue serving as platforms for future conversation. Mirko Zardini Canadian Centre for Architecture Much has changed since icam last visited New York in 1996. -

The American Museum of Natural History
THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT JULY, 1953, THROUGH JUNE, 1954 THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT JULY, 1953, THROUGH JUNE, 1954 THE CITY OF NEW YORK 1954 EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT To the Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History and to the Municipal Authorities of the City of New York THE Museum's fiscal year, which ended June 30, 1954, was a good one. As in our previous annual report, I believe we can fairly state that continuing progress is being made on our long-range plan for the Museum. The cooperative attitude of the scientific staff and of our other employees towards the program set forth by management has been largely responsible for what has been accomplished. The record of both the Endowment and Pension Funds during the past twelve months has been notably satisfactory. In a year of wide swings of optimism and pessimism in the security markets, the Finance Committee is pleased to report an increase in the market value of the Endowment Fund of $3,011,800 (87 per cent of which has been due to the over-all rise in prices and 13 per cent to new gifts). Common stocks held by the fund increased in value approximately 30 per cent in the year. The Pension Fund likewise continued to grow, reaching a valuation of $4,498,600, as compared to $4,024,100 at the end of the previous year. Yield at cost for the Endow- ment Fund as of July 1 stood at 4.97 per cent and for the Pension Fund at 3.74 per cent. -
