Title in Edison films catalog: Rube and Mandy's visit to Coney Island

CREATED/PUBLISHED
United States : Edison Manufacturing Co., 1903.

SUMMARY
This film records a trip around Coney Island by a couple made up as country bumpkins. The camera placement shows their entrance, exit, and participation in the various concessions. In the next-to-last scene, the two approach a hot dog stand, and each buys a hot dog and eats it in a greedy manner while walking toward the camera. In the final scence, the camera moves in for a close-up, waist shot of the two principals eating the hot dogs and getting mustard and pieces of roll all over their faces.

Cutting and canaling ice / Thomas A. Edison, Inc.

Thu, 14 Mar 2013 17:30:52 GMT

CREATED/PUBLISHED
United States : Thomas A. Edison, Inc., 1902.

SUMMARY
The camera shows what appears to be a frozen-over lake on which men are driving teams of horses pulling a device similar to a plow. The second camera position shows that the horses are being driven in a straight line across the ice, with the device chiseling a groove, called canaling, into the ice. This action precedes removal of the ice for storage so it can be used during the summer.

Title in Edison films catalog: Coaching party, Yellowstone Park

CREATED/PUBLISHED
United States : Edison Manufacturing Co., c1899.

SUMMARY
From Edison films catalog: Rapidly one after the other coach after coach passes before the camera. First comes a big one, six horses, crowded top and inside with tourists. They wave hats and handkerchiefs as they pass. Then comes another; then follows four more, each drawn by a four-horse team, while ten or a dozen more are strung out far into the distance. This is the Christian Endeavor excursion touring through the Yellowstone Park under the able management of the Northern Pacific Railway Co. 50 feet. $7.50.

Advertised as part of the "Alaska and Yellowstone National Park Series" in the "Northern Pacific Railway Series" (Edison films catalog): The following pictures were taken by our artists at various points on the Northern Pacific Railway. We are greatly indebted to their officials who afforded us every opportunity in their power to obtain these splendid views. Many of the scenes are incident to the excitement prevailing at the time of the Klondike gold rush. They show the resources of this company for handling large numbers of people, baggage, freight and excursion parties, and give to prospective tourists and merchants an idea of the facilities with which this road handles traffic of all kinds (p. 9).

April 27, 2012 - School of Science Dean's Colloquium: How Did I End Up Here?

The Dean's Colloquium Series was established to recognize and celebrate scientists who have chosen innovative, non-traditional career paths and have been unusually successful.

This colloquium lecture will honor Ted Kelly Ph.D. '70 (XVIII).

Ted Kelly is the Chairman of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group. Mr. Kelly joined Liberty Mutual in 1992 as President and Chief Operating Officer, and was elected Chief Executive Officer in 1998. Mr. Kelly was elected Chairman of Liberty Mutual in April of 2000.

In the 13 years Mr. Kelly lead Liberty Mutual, it's business grew dramatically from 8 billion in annual revenue to 34 billion. Currently the third largest insurer in the United States, it employs over 45,000 people in more than 900 locations throughout the world.

Mr. Kelly has been a member of the Board of Directors of Liberty Mutual since 1992. He is also a member of the boards of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, the EMC Corporation, the American Ireland Fund, the Insurance Information Institute; and he serves on various other community and education boards. In September of 2011, Mr. Kelly was named Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. In addition, Mr. Kelly is a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries and a member of the American Academy of Actuaries.

Born in Ireland, Mr. Kelly graduated from Queen's University in Belfast and obtained his Ph.D. in mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Form from the Formless: The Awesome Power of the Embryo

Mon, 21 Mar 2005 05:00:00 GMT

Hazel Sive, Professor of Biology and Associate Dean, MIT School of Science Description: How does a single cell become a complex organism? The fascination and challenge of this question, says Hazel Sive, "drives me out of bed each day, makes me work long hours and keeps me excited about coming here." Sive's Whitehead lab investigates developing embryos for clues about how cells organize and form tissues and organs. Not only must an embryo determine what kinds of cells to grow, it must also place them in precise patterns, along three dimensions. As the embryo develops, cells signal to each other to move to a specific position, or a regulatory protein sends a command for a cell to align itself in a certain way. Sive's particularly interested in the evolution of brain structure. Zebrafish serve as her model. The tiny, transparent embryos of this fish enable her to "look directly into the brain in a noninvasive way." Sive plays a video showing how a brain forms from a sheet of cells that first rolls up into a tube. Then, three distinct areas emerge that correspond to key neural functions. If a gene responsible for this patterning of early brain structure goes awry, then the zebra fish embryo may emerge with a brain cavity that's too big or too small to permit the intricate folding of neural tissue. This early process transpires the same way in all brains, whether zebrafish or human, says Sive. So study of mutant zebra fish brains and the genes that play a role in abnormal development shed light on brain malfunction in humans, including autism and mental retardation. About the Speaker(s): Hazel Sive arrived at Whitehead in 1991. In 1992, she was named a Searle Scholar and received a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award. Sive earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa, in chemistry and zoology and her Ph.D. from Rockefeller University in molecular biology, in 1986. Sive traces the earliest stages of neural development in vertebrates. She has identified more than 50 genes involved in the decision to begin making neural tissue from the undifferentiated cells in a young embryo. The work could provide new insights into neurological diseases, spinal cord injuries, and cancer. Host(s): School of Science, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research
