See templates for discussion to help reach a consensus. › Engineering career Electrical engineering, Discipline Mechanical engineering Alternating current Projects high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments [show] Significant design o [show] Awards o Signature Nikola Tesla (/ˈtɛslə/;[2] Serbo-Croatian: [nǐkola têsla]; Cyrillic: Никола Тесла;[a] 10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American[4][5][6] inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.[7] Born and raised in the Austrian Empire, Tesla studied engineering and physics in the 1870s without receiving a degree, and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. 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. -

Antisemitism in the United States Report of an Expert Consultation Organized by AJC’s Jacob Blaustein Institute for the Advancement of Human Rights in Cooperation with UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed 10-11 April 2019, New York City Introduction On March 5, 2019, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, announced that he was preparing a thematic report on global antisemitism to be presented to the UN General Assembly in New York in the fall of 2019.

In response, JBI organized a two-day expert consultation on Wednesday, April 10 and Thursday, April 11, 2019 at AJC’s Headquarters in New York. Participants discussed how antisemitism is manifested in the U.S., statistics and trends concerning antisemitic hate crimes, and government and civil society responses to the problem. This event followed an earlier consultation in Geneva, Switzerland convened by JBI for Dr. Shaheed in June 2018 on global efforts to monitor and combat antisemitism and engaging the United Nations human rights system to address this problem.1 I.

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. -
