fWotD Episode 2846: Benjamin F. McAdoo Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 18 February 2025 is Benjamin F. McAdoo.Benjamin Franklin McAdoo Jr. (October 29, 1920 – June 18, 1981) was an American architect. McAdoo designed a number of residential, civic, and commercial structures in the Seattle area in a modernist aesthetic influenced by the Northwest Regional style. Born in Pasadena, California, he attended school in Southern California, where he was inspired by the work of Paul R. Williams and began to pursue architectural training. After working as a draftsman for local architectural firms and the Army Corps of Engineers, he pursued his Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Washington in Seattle, graduating in 1946. He became the first licensed African-American architect in the state of Washington, and after a brief period designing remodels and alterations, he began to receive commissions to design private residences.Favorable coverage in The Seattle Times by architecture journalist Margery Phillips boosted his career. A residence designed by McAdoo in Burien was declared the "Home of the Year" by The Seattle Times in association with the American Institute of Architects. After designing a number of low-income houses and apartments throughout the 1950s, including around eighty of his single-family "Houses of Merit", he was hired by the Agency for International Development to design modular houses in Jamaica. He returned to the United States after eighteen months in Jamaica and briefly worked for the Department of State and the General Services Administration in Washington, D. C., where he aided Edward Durell Stone in designing the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. He returned to Seattle in 1964, where he pursued public and civic architectural commissions. In addition to his architectural work, he participated in the NAACP, hosted a weekly radio show on racial issues for several years, and unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the Washington House of Representatives.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:55 UTC on Tuesday, 18 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Benjamin F.

What's the return on government funding for research?There are a few places in the academic literature you can look to for insight. Jones and Summers (2021) uses a hypothetical thought experiment to make the case that, on average, every dollar of R&D spent probably generates several dollars in benefits via its long-run impact on economic growth (see What are the returns to R&D? for more discussion). But that result applies only to R&D in general, government and non-government, bundled together. Is government funding above or below this average? This approach can't say. Moreover, while I find it a compelling thought experiment, at some point we probably want to check the results against data. Fortunately, a set of recent papers help us do that.This podcast is an audio read through of the (initial version of the) article Government funding for R&D and productivity growth, originally published on New Things Under the Sun.Articles mentionedJones, Benjamin F., and Lawrence H.

The gang discusses two papers that look at functional morphology in extinct groups. The first paper looks at tooth replacement patterns in an Ornithischian dinosaur, and the second paper studies the shell articulation of Rafinesquina to unravel a long-standing mystery. Meanwhile, James has questions about taste, Amanda forgets protocol, and Curt indulges in his fixations.   Up-Goer Five (Curt Edition): The friends talk about two papers that look at how animals did things a long time ago. The first paper looks at a group of big angry animals that are liked a lot and make their way into movies. This paper looks at how the teeth of some of these animals would grow over time. This group of big angry animals also does a lot of cool things with their teeth over a long time because they move from eating animals to eating things that do not move and make their own food from the sun. The big angry animals that they look at have lot of these animals from a lot of different ages so they can see how the teeth get changed as they grew up. What they see is that the way that the teeth grow in changes as the animal grows older. They also find that the number of times that new teeth come in has changed many times in this group of animals. The second paper looks at a group of animals with two hard parts on either side that sits and eats food from the water. This group of animals has really made people confused for a long time because of how the hard parts come together, which could make it so that the animals could not get water inside to eat and would instead get a lot of ground and die. But this group of animals is really good at what it does because it is found all around the world. So how did these things eat? The paper shows that these animals could move their hard parts a lot more than we ever thought. Also, they show that they could move them pretty quick, and could even push out water so quickly that they could maybe move a little bit if they get covered in the ground.   References: Hu, Jinfeng, et al.

I denne anden og sidste episode i miniserien om intelligens går Nana og Anne Sophie på jagt efter svaret på et af videnskabens helt store spørgsmål:  Skyldes vores intelligensniveau vores gener eller det miljø, vi vokser op i? Jagten på svaret fører værterne helt tilbage til barndommen, hvor de ser på, hvilke faktorer der påvirker et barns intelligensniveau, når det bliver voksent.  Nana og AS optrevler også en årelang videnskabelig strid om, hvorvidt det er vores arv eller vores miljø, der bestemmer vores intelligensniveau. Det er ikke en helt nem opgave at løse, men værterne finder frem til forskernes bedste bud ud fra den nyeste intelligensforskning. Det kan du høre meget mere om i episoden.  Lyt til den første episode i miniserien om intelligens her.  Brainstorm er støttet af Lundbeckfonden. Følg Brainstorm på Instagram.

Brainstorm er ramt af sygdom, så derfor genudsender vi i denne uge en tidligere episode, der handler om kvindehad, og hvordan vi kan bekæmpe det. Episoden blev udgivet af Brainstorms tidligere værter Jais og Asbjørn i 2022, men den er desværre aktuel igen i kølvandet på DR's dokumentar om sexisme i musikbranchen. Derfor får I en genlytning. I episoden giver tre forskere deres råd til, hvordan vi skal komme kvindehadet til livs, og mange af rådene taler direkte ind i de oplevelser, man kan have, hvis man er offer for sexisme på arbejdspladsen. For eksempel i musikbranchen, som der er fokus på i disse dage. Brainstorm er støttet af Lundbeckfonden. Følg Brainstorm på Instagram.

“If you build it, they will come.”   While that might work for a baseball field in the middle of Iowa, most business owners know that the building part is just the beginning.    If you want to stay ahead of the competition, increase your profits, and keep the lights on and the employees paid, you can't just open a business and wait for the customers to start streaming in; you need a plan to scale and grow.   And who better to talk on this topic than the founder of Build Scale Grow, Inc., Benjamin F. Friedman? Pulling from his years of experience in finance and operations (including M&A, capital raising, debt financing, team building, and management collaboration, just to name a few), he now helps founders and leaders activate their own visions to build systems and facilitate new growth opportunities and exit plans.    This is a must-listen episode for any startup, founder, or owner who is ready to take the next practical steps to scale their business.  Episode Highlights:   The mistakes most founders make Artificial intelligence vs artificial augmentation Why “being human” in the age of AI is more important than ever The potential negatives of taking vc funding Why he loves working with founders who don't know everything Succession protocols for successful exits Which industry he would choose to enter into now (hint: health and education) Why he believes everyone should have coaches and mentors A look at his book, Scale: Reach Your Peak Favorite Quote:    “The worst thing in the world is not to fail in your business; it's to succeed in other people's eyes and be incredibly miserable through that experience.” Connect with Benjamin:   https://www.webuildscalegrow.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/buildscalegrow/   How To Get Involved: Matthew Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca use their combined experience to provide insight and strategic advice to help small and medium-sized businesses in America have the same opportunities as corporate 500 companies.

I'm fascinated by Asylums, most are great and help their patients but so many fall to overcrowding and no funding which result in terrible conditions, care, violence and multiple deaths. Here is another one of those in Exeter, Rhode Island. The Ladd school had many names but always seemed destined to fail. It was first known as The Exeter School for the Feeble Minded to help rehabilitate "inmates" to return to society. That never happened and "inmates" were forced to live in filthy conditions and there was 1 doctor and no other staff had proper medical training. So many souls are trapped here and they believe they will never leave. The buildings have been torn down but the activity and spirits remain. So travel with me down a dark road to Exeter, Rhode Island (Also very haunted!!) to discover the travesties of the school.

How much value does a dollar of R&D create? This is a really hard question to answer, but a 2021 paper by Benjamin Jones and Larry Summers describes a thought experiment that suggests the answer is "very high!" In this podcast, I walk through the thought experiment.This podcast is an audio version of (the initial version of) the article "What are the Returns to R&D?" published on New Things Under the Sun.Articles mentioned:Jones, Benjamin F., and Lawrence H.

This week on the show I've brought along some of my fellow writers to bring you all some of the worst (or best) gun shop horror stories to ever be told. If you've ever been a worker or a patron inside of a gun shop or indoor gun range you'll already know that you can run into some pretty zany characters and have even probably dealt with a few yourself. To this end I've brought along fellow writers and TFB contributors Adam S, Lucas D, Daniel Y, Mike R and Benjamin F to tell their tales of gun shop terror to fit in with this Halloween season. Thanks as always to our TFB listeners and readers! Let us know if you have any of your own gun shop horror stories in the comments below!

“U” is for Unionists. Unionists in South Carolina were anti-secessionists and supporters of the federal Union in the decades prior to the Civil War—especially during the Nullification Crisis of the 1830s and the secession crises of 1850 and 1860. Unionist strongholds were in white majority districts such as Greenville, Horry, Pickens, and Spartanburg. Although unable to prevent the passage of the Ordinance of Nullification, they created a statewide network of militia units that were in contact with President Andrew Jackson. In part, because of determined Unionist opposition—and the threat of internal armed conflict—the nullifiers sought compromise rather than confrontation with the federal government. The rise of abolitionism and fears of its influence weakened Unionists in South Carolina. Among the leading Unionists were Joel R. Poinsett, James L. Petigru, and Benjamin F. Perry.

Every beginning starts with an ending. This is one of the principles of Pendulum theory. And the middle is always in the middle. When our fight with King George ended in 1783, thirteen powerless colonies became “The United States.” This was the beginning of the first America; 3 million citizens clinging to the eastern edge of a vast, uncharted wilderness. Truly, “a land of opportunity.” Eighty years later – 1863 – we were in the middle of a war between ourselves. (1861-1865) And July 2nd of that year – the middle day in the 3-day Battle of Gettysburg – was also the middle day of the middle year in our 5-year Civil War. Fourteen years after the Civil War ended, Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington headed west to capture the ending of the Wild West. Their paintings and sculptures of those ending days now sell for millions of dollars. Nineteen years after Charlie and Fred headed West, https://www.pbs.org/tpt/slavery-by-another-name/themes/progressivism/ (Teddy Roosevelt) led his “rough riders” up a hill during the Spanish-American War. His arrival on that hilltop signaled the end of the Wild West, the end of the Spanish Empire, and the end of the first America.1 As I said earlier, every beginning starts with an ending.The second America began when Teddy became President in 1901. This second America was a land of progress and achievement, a World Power, a country of cars and department stores and Coca-Cola, electric lights, running water, and houses everywhere. Do you remember when Whitney Houston sang, “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”? America's memory of the Civil War was more recent than that when they elected Teddy Roosevelt. One of Teddy's first official actions was to invite Booker T. Washington, a black educator, to dinner at the White House. White-hot rage was ignited across the South. According to historian Deborah Davis, “There was hell to pay… This story did not go away. An assassin was hired to go to Tuskegee to kill Booker T. Washington. He was pursued wherever he went… There were vulgar cartoons of Mrs. Roosevelt that had never been done before.” The Revolutionary War ended and the first America began: Opportunity America. One hundred and twelve years later – 1901 – the second America began: Achievement America. One hundred and twelve years later – 2013 – the third America began: Virtual America, a “sharing economy” featuring virtual ownership, (Airbnb, Uber, TaskRabbit) virtual currency, (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin) virtual reality. (Facebook, Twitter, TikTok) 2013 was also the halfway point in the upswing of society's pendulum toward the zenith of our current “We” cycle. The halfway point is where we begin to take a good thing too far. In 2013 we shifted from “fighting together for the common good” to simply “fighting together.” Western Civilization2 has done this every 80 years for the past 3 millennia. I wrote at length about it in https://smile.amazon.com/Pendulum-Generations-Present-Williams-2012-10-02/dp/B01LP466GG/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3C4JZB95AWFYE&dchild=1&keywords=pendulum+roy+williams&qid=1605625725&sprefix=Pendulum+roy%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-2 (Pendulum) several years ago: 1783 marked the ending of our Revolutionary War.1783 was the zenith of a “We.”80 years later… 1863 marked the middle of our Civil War. 1863 was the zenith of a “We.” 80 years later… 1943 marked the middle of WWII. 1943 was the zenith of a “We.” 80 years later… 2023 will mark the zenith of our current “We.” I wonder what we'll be in the middle of then? Roy H. Williams 1 the America of George W. and Thomas J. and Benjamin F. and Samuel Adams, the patron saint of beer.  2 Western Civilization began 3,000 years ago in Israel and Persia, then expanded to ancient Greece, then to Rome, then to Britain who took it to North America and Australia.

Das Creativ Hotel Luise ist heute bekannt, als erstes Hotel mit einer positiven Klimabilanz. Das Thema "Öko life style" hat er von seinem Vater vorgelebt bekommen, der schon in der 90iger Jahren als "grüner Spinner" betitelt wurde und mit seiner Einstellung der Natur gegenüber den Grundstein für das heutige extrem nachhaltige Hotel legte.  Wir sprechen über folgende Themen:  Corona, natürlich sind Ben und sein Team ebenfalls hart getroffen. Wie waren sie in den letzten Wochen aktiv, was waren seine persönlichen Learnings aus dieser Krise?  Seinen Weg vom Jungen, der sich in den Kleiderschränken versteckte, um die Mitarbeiter zu erschrecken, hinzu dem Chef, der regelmäßig mit neuen verrückten Ideen um die Ecke kommt.  Seine Strategie, um Mitarbeiter zu motivieren.  Balance im Allgemeinen, wie verbindet er seine Leidenschaft die Welt zu entdecken, kreativ zu sein, mit der Rolle als Hotelinhaber.  Warum klimapositiv-sein erstrebenswert ist und welche Voraussetzungen geschaffen werden müssen.  Was können andere Hoteliers schnell übernehmen?  Das nachwachsende Hotelzimmer - alles wächst nach?  Wie wichtig die Meinungen und Reaktionen des unmittelbaren Umfeldes auf Ben´s Entscheidungen sind.  Auto - kein Auto - Elektroauto?   Veganer - Fleischesser - oder ab und zu?  Was ist seine (klare) Meinung dazu?  Seine Lebensaufgabe: Die Welt zu retten.  … uvm  Auch du hast große Ideen und willst die Welt ein Stückchen besser machen? Du hast Pläne - in der Schublade und im Kopf, kommst aber nicht ins Umsetzen? Irgendetwas hindert dich? Andere Sachen und Menschen haben Vorrang?

When I was in Richmond, Virginia, I fell in love with the history and legends of the city. Rooted in history, the city is known for the train that used to deliver goods through town and the James River. One of the first urban legends that I fell in love with is the story of the Richmond Vampire. In 1925, the 231 locomotive was caught in the Church Hill tunnel when it collapsed. A few people made it out, but when Benjamin F. Mosby got out, the site was one that was horrific! On lookers said his flesh was burning and his teeth looked like fangs. Thus beginning the story of the Richmond Vampire. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lattes-and-legends/support

February 6, 2018 at the Boston Athenæum. In this richly illustrated talk, Georgia Barnhill sheds fresh light on the beloved American luminist painter and printmaker Fitz Henry Lane, the subject of her current exhibition, Drawn from Nature & On Stone: The Lithographs of Fitz Henry Lane at the Cape Ann Museum. Barnhill, curator emerita of graphic arts at the American Antiquarian Society, considers Lane’s work within the context of his contemporaries, Benjamin Chimney, Robert Cooke, Benjamin F. Nutting, Robert Salmon, David Claypoole Johnston—among others and explores his deep association with the Boston Athenæum, where the artist first exhibited in 1841.

Benjamin Föckelsprenger begann mit den Spielen Medal of Honor, CoD, etc den ersten Kontakt mit dem Esport gemacht. Somit kam es dazu, dass er anfing in Bayern LAN-Partys mit 10 bis 15 Leuten in seinem Keller zu organisieren. Stück für Stück wuchsen die Partys und sind somit nun die exklusivsten LAN-Partys in Deutschland. In der Games Academy in Berlin studierte er Game Producing. Nachdem er in viele Richtungen gegangen ist und sogar ein Online Kasino aufgebaut hat wurde er der Co-Founder von esports.com .   Doch was steckt hinter Esport.com? Esport.com soll letzten Endes die primäre Anlaufstelle für den Laien sein. Es wird ein Communityportal, welches alles zusammenfast was im Bereich des Esport passiert. Unterteilt ist es in drei große Bereiche. Education: Zum Beispiel Legaue of Legends. Esport.com nimmt sich vor allerlei Information zu sammeln um neuen Spielern eines Spieles zu helfen. Es soll alles auf Esport.com gesammelt werden, sodass es nur eine Anlaufstelle gibt. Auch dem Profi und Fast-Profi soll es helfen indem es Information aus dem Spiel und neuen Patches übersichtlich kompiliert und die Auswirkungen der Änderungen darlegt. Entertainment: Sie werden einen Blick hinter die Kulissen werfen indem sie in Gaming Häuser und VIP-Bereiche gehen um die Stars des Esport Hautnah erleben zu können, was vielen anderen verwehrt bleiben würde. Statistiken: Es werden allerlei Statistiken gesammelt um einfach und auf einem Blick gute Kombinationen und Strategien herauszufinden. K/D/As, Weapon Picks, Skillung alles Mögliche wird gesammelt werden um es für die Nutzer so einfach wie möglich zu machen. Auch kann man auf der Website Coaching buchen um sein Gameplay zu verbessern und gute Spieler können ihren eigenen Content hochladen und damit Geld verdienen!   Sitz in Malta?! Vergessen darf man nicht, dass Malta ein Land in der EU ist und somit allen Standards der EU unterliegt. Des Weiteren gibt es in Malta deutlich bessere, schnellere und verständlichere Gesetze von denen manche deutschen Gesetze abschreiben. Auch kann man die Abgeordneten in Malta direkt treffen und mit ihnen sprechen, sollte etwas nicht verständlich sein und sollte etwas wider der EU-Gesetze sein würde die EU sich schnell einschalten um dies zu berichtigen. Ein Sitz in Malta hat somit nur Vorteile für Konsumer und für esports.com. Durch bessere, schnellere und genauere Regulierungen in Malta wird es für alle Beteiligten einfacher.   Blick in die Zukunft Wichtig ist es spannendes für die Zukunft zu planen, somit ist man generell für viele Ideen offen. Ein Augenmerk liegt auf Viralem Content, da esports.com die größte Plattform des Esport weltweit werden, was nur über guten Content zu erreichen ist. Ideen wie Bungie Jumping mit Go Pro und Esport Reisen sind schon in der Planung.   Die Website esports.com soll Januar 2018 veröffentlicht werden.

October 8, 2017 In 2007 an agreement was reached between the leadership of New York University and the government of Abu Dhabi to create a cutting edge university that would combine the strengths of Abu Dhabi and NYU. This challenge provided the opportunity to revisit and reevaluate the meaning of a liberal arts institution of higher education in the 21st century, with a truly global character and research and excellent undergraduate education at its heart. Deputy Vice Chancellor Hilary Ballon, who died at the age of 61 in June 2017, was one of the small group of gifted visionaries who drove the project from its outset, conceiving what soon became NYU Abu Dhabi: a uniquely integrated institution, in its architecture, its innovative undergraduate curriculum, and in its key role as a global hub with students and faculty from every continent.

On this episode, we cover July to November of 1839. We start with a discussion about how scarce documentation is for this blackout period of Mormon history and what that means for historiographies which cover this time period. After that, Jo tells us how we can tell if a spirit is from God or the devil, which hearkens back to his magic roots. After that we take an extract from Bloody Brigham Young’s manuscript history to follow the travel of the Twelve as they made their way closer to boarding a ship for England. After the history, we debut an exciting new segment to leak off the church and then we get into some of the church’s new face of homophobia and discuss just how new their stance on the LGBTQ community really is…. Spoiler alert, the church is still led by a bunch of red-scare bigoted octogenarians who are on the wrong side of history. Links: Autobiography of Benjamin F.

When detectives explored the Chicago hotel owned by insurance fraudster H.H. Holmes in 1894, they found a nightmarish warren of blind passageways, trapdoors, hidden chutes, and asphyxiation chambers in which Holmes had killed dozens or perhaps even hundreds of victims. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow the career of America's first documented serial killer, who headlines called "a fiend in human shape." We'll also gape at some fireworks explosions and puzzle over an intransigent insurance company. Intro: In 1908 a Strand reader discovered an old London horse omnibus on the outskirts of Calgary.

On this episode, we begin with a wrap up of the live God Awful Movies in Chicago and talking about everything the atheist/skeptical community has to offer. After that we jump into a discussion about the Mormon refugee crisis going on in mid-October 1838 in Missouri. Jo had to feed the flock and the only way to do so was through raiding and pillaging the Daviess County locals. We read a warm letter exchange between people on opposing sides of the conflict along with a large excerpt from Benjamin Johnson, the first-hand recounting from a Mormon raiding party participant. After that we move on to part 2 of a discussion with Brian and Sean of Mythicist Milwaukee; be sure to check their podcast feed for part 1!   Links: Mythicist Milwaukee interview pt1 http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/mythicist-milwaukee-show General Parks’ letter to James Sloan http://mormonhistoricsites.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/MHS2.1Baugh-HiramParks.pdf Benjamin F.

On this episode, our scope lands from mid-January to mid-March, focusing on three separate but equal locations. Kirtland, Ohio was the center of dissent and violent mob action against Jo and his loyalists. Along with a few other families, Jo and Rigdon were forced to flee Kirtland, leaving the main church building on fire in their wake and arriving in Far West, Missouri as a temporary safe haven. Things weren’t well in Far West either. The trusted church leaders held a tribunal and excommunicated or put on hold the Whitmers, Oliver Cowdery, and W. W. Phelps until Jo and Rigdon get into town. The saints are faced with some hard decisions in the coming year. Do they stay in Kirtland and follow a breakoff faction; or follow the one true prophet, Joseph Smith, to Missouri, where saints are frequently shot or chased from their homes? We wrap up the discussion with a topical subject currently rising in relevancy out of Nevada. The Church of the Devil may share a bit more in common with Mormonism than we initially perceived… Show Links: Website http://nakedmormonismpodcast.com Twitter @NakedMormonism Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Naked-Mormonism/370003839816311 Patreon http://patreon.com/nakedmormonism Outro music by Jason Comeau http://aloststateofmind.com/ Show Artwork http://weirdmormonshit.com/ Voicemail Line (864)Nake-dMo (625-3366)               Links: Manuscript History of Brigham Young http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/MSHBY.html Autobiography of Benjamin F.

On this episode, we jump back into the historical timeline! We start off with the wiles of a Michael H. Chandler, and how he made $2400 off Joe's fascination with ancient artifacts, then, the 1835 Doctrine and Covenants are voted in as scripture by every member of the church. After that, Big Daddy Cheese is given a living stipend and fees for giving patriarchal blessings, and we talk about another first vision account, only this one is taken from Joe's own diary. To finish out the episode, we read a couple of autobiographical accounts covering the end of 1835, and leading into 1836, the second of which takes us into talking about the first real sex-scandal we have good evidence for, the one between 18 year-old Fanny Alger, and 30 year-old Joseph Smith. We don't run short on crazy for this episode, so strap in and enjoy!

Historian Bev Tyler of the Three Village Historical Society Bev Tyler, historian with the Three Village Historical Society, walks us through the true story of the Culper Spy Ring that operated out of Setauket and Manhattan during the Revolutionary War. Made up of a small tight-knit group of friends and relatives, the Ring provided valuable information on British activities that helped George Washington outmaneuver and out-spy a much more powerful enemy. All of this was conducted in occupied territory, a Long Island beset by British troops with no love for the population they were meant to protect and raiders from the Sound who preyed on Loyalist and Patriot alike. We also discuss the AMC series Turn which depicts a fictionalized version of the Ring. Find out where the story strays from the history and which facts and characters stay true to the historical record. From Abraham Woodhull to Robert Townsend, Anna Strong, and Caleb Brewster, find out what they were really like and their fate after the war. Turn starts its second season in the spring of 2015.
