  • Written for the Harrington House News, a Publication of the Staff of the Rhode Island Medical Center, an Unknown Author Had This to Say About Sidney S
    SIDNEY S. GOLDSTEIN, M.D. (1902-1962) by TERRY GOLDSTEIN AND BERYL SEGAL In a "Vignette" written for the Harrington House News, a publication of the staff of the Rhode Island Medical Center, an unknown author had this to say about Sidney S. Goldstein soon after his death: "He once said that 'people (living) after, never remember well those (who lived) before, unless they were awfully bad or raised enough public ruckus to attach something to their public personality.' "Sidney Goldstein would never 'raise a ruckus'. His personality was too quiet for that. And certainly he never sought the public stage other than to remark on the needs of the sick and those who cared for them. "This man had some strong dislikes. He disliked the person who was loud and insulting. He disliked the comfortable family member who would visit his patient-relative for 10 minutes once a year. But most of all he disliked being short. He felt it was almost un-American to be an executive and not be six feet tall. ." Yet this "short", quiet, self-effacing man attained a position of emi- nence in the Rhode Island State Mental Institutions and in Mental Health circles outside of the state. Doctor Max Fershtman, who worked with Sidney Goldstein and was a personal friend, writes: "Soon after Doctor Sidney Goldstein died a committee was formed with the idea of creating a lasting memorial for him. In view of his interest in Religion and Mental Health and his being the first president of the Rhode Island Chapter of the Academy of Religion and Mental Health the committee decided to erect a Jewish Chapel in his honor at the Rhode Island Medical Center." The committee consisted of Harry A.

Sydney: SAHANZ, 2015. Robert Freestone and Nicola Pullan, UNSW Australia From Wilkinson to Winston: Towards a Planning Degree at the University of Sydney 1919-1949 This paper explores the genesis of planning education in the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Sydney, highlighting the key roles played by architects, architectural educators and other institutional actors in the process. Town planning was identified as a key curriculum element for the Bachelor of Architecture degree at the University of Sydney in 1920, when architecture broke away from the Faculty of Engineering. The new Faculty was constituted under the leadership of Leslie Wilkinson, the first Professor of Architecture, with R. Keith Harris appointed as lecturer with special responsibility for town planning. In parallel, in 1919 the University Extension Board inaugurated the Vernon Memorial Lectures on Town Planning, a more inclusive series which offered instruction on town planning to all comers. These lectures were devised and delivered by architect- planner, John Sulman. The two initiatives would eventually merge, driven by the NSW state government’s reconstruction agenda and legislative reforms which demanded qualified planners to manage a new statutory planning system.

  • The Mistletoes a Literature Review
    THE MISTLETOES A LITERATURE REVIEW Technical Bulletin No. 1242 June 1961 U.S. DEi>ARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE FOREST SERVICE THE MISTLETOES A LITERATURE REVIEW by Lake S. Gill and Frank G. Hawksworth Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station Forest Service Growth Through Agricultural Progress Technical Bulletin No. 1242 June 1961 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WASHINGTON, D.C For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington 25, D.C. - Price 35 cents Preface striking advances have been made in recent years in the field of plant pathology, but most of these investigations have dealt with diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, or viruses. In contrast, progress toward an understanding of diseases caused by phanerogamic parasites has been relatively slow. Dodder (Cuscuta spp.) and broom rape {Orohanche spp.) are well-known parasites of agri- cultural crops and are serious pests in certain localities. The recent introduction of witchweed (Striga sp.) a potentially serious pest for corn-growing areas, into the United States (Gariss and Wells 1956) emphasizes the need for more knowledge of phanerogamic parasites. The mistletoes, because of their unusual growth habits, have been the object of curiosity for thousands of years. Not until the present century, however, has their role as damaging pests to forest, park, orchard, and ornamental trees become apparent. The mistletoes are most abundant in tropical areas, but they are also widely distributed in the temperate zone. The peak of destructive- ness of this family seems to be reached in western North America where several species of the highly parasitic dwarfmistletoes (Arceuthobium spp,) occur.

    THE JERUSALEM FOUNDATION ...We Know Jerusalem Annual Report 2011 From the President Dear Friends, Table of Contents I am pleased to present you with the Jerusalem Foundation's 2011 Annual Report, a year in which nearly $27 million in pledges and grants were raised from our friends and partners worldwide, for the benefit of Jerusalem and its residents. 3 From the President Much was accomplished this year in Jerusalem. Our flagship program, Adopt-a-Neighborhood, which is now up and running in four neighborhoods, has begun to bear fruit. Kiryat HaYovel, one of our adopted neighborhoods, is 5 About the Jerusalem Foundation the only pluralistic neighborhood in Jerusalem with an increase in residents, defying the citywide trend and a statistic we would like to see take hold citywide. 7 Vision and Mission Jerusalem 2011 saw literally hundreds of cultural events – festivals, exhibits, performances and special events – 8 Culture supported by the Foundation, demonstrating to the world that Jerusalem is a place of cultural growth. Jerusalem is home to Jews, Muslims and Christians, living on 48 square miles, all who long for the day when peaceful 22 Coexistence coexistence will be a fact of life. While not easily discernible to those without a deep understanding of Jerusalem's complex mosaic, there are palpable signs of hope that we see every day in our programming, creating opportunities 30 Community for dialogue and mutual respect among the city's populace. 3 50 Financial Data 2011 The Jerusalem Foundation has become synonymous with the city itself largely because, after 45 years of spearheading change and philanthropy in this city, the Jerusalem Foundation knows Jerusalem.

  • Beth Sholom Book of Remembrance 2020/5781
    A Book of Remembrance was written before Him, for those who revere the Lord and esteem God’s name. Malachi 3.16 2020 5781 1 “May their souls be bound up in the bond of life.” Dedicated to the Memory of NATHAN and ANNA NEUMAN HAROLD L. and SYLVIA NEUMAN HELEN NEUMAN SPECKER DORIS NEUMAN BORDEN Foreword Here at Beth Sholom Congregation, we use the Memorial Booklet as a way to remember family members whose lives helped shape the people we have become-and the people we are becoming. There is pain in evoking the memory of our loved ones, even as we pray that the sweetness of those memories will add fragrance to our lives. We Jews have developed a par- ticular expertise in our ability to experience both the bitter and the sweet simultaneously.
