    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

  • Honor Roll of Donors
    Children’s Hospital Los Angeles HONOR ROLL OF DONORS For the time period of July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016 At the turn of the 20th century, a group of caring individuals recognized that the city of Los Angeles lacked a hospital equipped to care for children—and so began Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Founded in 1901, the hospital was created with the strength and resolve of its founding members—a legacy that continues on through a generous community of supporters and philanthropic partners. More than a century later, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is proudly recognized as a worldwide leader in pediatric and adolescent health. Through expert clinical care, research and medical education, Children’s Hospital continues to create hope and build healthier futures for children and families in our community and beyond. Generous individuals, organizations and foundations have played an instrumental role in our efforts to give children the opportunity to lead healthy and happy lives. Philanthropy has supported the important work performed by our physicians, nurses and caregivers; accelerated leading-edge research to unearth innovative new therapies; and educated and trained the next generation of pediatric experts. Our extraordinary donors make all of this possible, and we are honored to acknowledge them for their generosity during fiscal year 2016. This Honor Roll recognizes donors for contributions of $1,000 or more, as well as the full value of any active pledge commitments made in prior fiscal years. We are also proud to honor those who have contributed gifts of $150 to $999 on the Red Wagon Society Honor Roll of Donors, viewable at CHLA.org/HonorRoll.

  • Individual Donor Pyramid FY 2012
    From the Chairman Dear Friends of the Catholic Education Foundation, This is a banner year for our Catholic Education Foundation, as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary. CEF has played an important role in the Church’s mission over the last quarter century. And the Foundation has had a truly extraordinary influence on the life of our Archdiocese, providing more than $128 million in funding for some 126,000 students. I’m truly honored and inspired by the hard work of our CEF students. Every student — 100% — go on from 8th grade to 9th grade. And 98% graduate from high school in four years! After graduation, 98% go on to higher education. These are remarkable numbers and even more remarkable when we consider that these are students who live below the threshold of poverty and live in communities where gangs, violence and drugs are the norm. Through the work of CEF, these students find in their Catholic school a sacred space and a place where they can learn leadership skills and develop the character and virtue they need to succeed in society and fulfill the dignity and purpose for which God made them. This year we welcomed two new Board members – Kristi Frey and Stephen Page. We bid farewell to Kathleen Aikenhead and Stephen Keller, who are going off the board after many years of service. They go with our gratitude for their dedication to the future of our young people and our communities. The CEF is a lifeline to families who want a Catholic school education for their children. It is our privilege and responsibility to serve the poorest among us to ensure they have this opportunity.
