Instituto de Tecnologia da Califórnia

O Instituto de Tecnologia da Califórnia (em inglês: California Institute of Technology, popularmente conhecido como Caltech) é uma universidade norte-americana localizada em Pasadena, no estado da Califórnia, Estados Unidos. Embora tenha sido fundado em 1891, a Caltech atraiu cientistas influentes como George Ellery Hale, Arthur Amos Noyes, e Robert Andrews Millikan no início do século XX e também os físicos Murray Gell-Mann e Richard Feynman na segunda metade do século XX. As escolas de formação profissionais e de preparação foram desmanteladas e desmembradas em 1910, e a Caltech assumiu seu nome atual em 1921. Em 1934, foi eleita para a Associação de Universidades Americanas, tendo então sido estabelecidos os antecedentes do Jet Propulsion Laboratory da NASA, que a Caltech continuava a gerir e operar, entre 1936 e 1943 sob Theodore von Kármán. Sendo uma das primeiras universidades do mundo em pesquisa, a Caltech mantém uma forte ênfase e tradição nas ciências naturais e engenharia. Também possui e administra o Laboratório de Propulsão a Jato (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, o JPL), que é um complexo autônomo de voos espaciais, responsável pelo projeto e operação da maioria das sondas da NASA. De acordo com a classificação anual da Times Higher Education de 2011, a Caltech é considerada a melhor universidade do mundo. Pela primeira vez em oito edições, a Universidade Harvard não aparece no topo dessa lista, empatando na segunda posição com a Universidade Stanford. Impacto cultural No seriado norte americano The Big Bang Theory os personagens de Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper) Johnny Galecki (Leonard Hofstadter), Kunal Nayyar (Rajesh "Raj" Koothrappali), Simon Helberg (Howard Wolowitz) e Mayim Bialik (Amy Farrah Fowler) trabalham na Caltech.

Kalifornijski tehnološki inštitut

Kalifornijski tehnološki inštitut (angleško California Insitute of Technology, pogosto okrajšano Caltech) je zasebna raziskovalna univerza s sedežem v mestu Pasadena, Kalifornija, ZDA. Sestavlja jo šest oddelkov, kot celota pa daje močan poudarek na naravoslovju in inženirstvu. Inštitut je leta 1891 ustanovil lokalni poslovnež in politik Amos G. Throop kot višjo tehniško šolo in pripravljalno šolo z imenom Throopova univerza (Throop University). Kasneje se je preimenovala v Throopov politehnični inštitut (Throop Polytechnic Institute) in po tistem še v Throopov tehnološki kolidž (Throop College of Technology) preden je leta 1920 dobila sedanje ime. Leta 1907, ko je bila znanost v ZDA še v povojih, je postal član vodstva astronom George Ellery Hale, ki jo je pričel spreminjati v vplivno znanstveno središče. V tem času je bila pripravljalna šola ukinjena, višja šola pa je postala samostojna politehnika. Halleju sta se kmalu pridružila še fizik Robert Andrews Millikan in kemik Arthur Amos Noyes, skupaj ter s pomočjo eksplozivne gospodarske rasti Južne Kalifornije so ustvarili inštitucijo, prepoznavno na državni ravni. Univerza je privabila številne vrhunske znanstvenike, med drugim je tu v zgodnjih 1930. letih gostoval Albert Einstein. Pod Caltechovim okriljem sta nastala med drugim Nasin Laboratorij za reaktivni pogon in observatorij Mount Palomar. Danes je Caltech kljub razmeroma majhni velikosti po akademskih merilih ena najuspešnejših ameriških univerz in se redno uvršča blizu vrha različnih lestvic univerz. Univerza ima dolgoletno rivalstvo s Tehnološkim inštitutom Massachusettsa (MIT), ki ga zaznamuje predvsem tekmovanje študentov obeh v različnih potegavščinah. Na Caltech imajo študenti v ta namen celo poseben denarni sklad. Sklici in opombe Zunanje povezave Uradno spletno mesto
California Institute of Technology

California Institute of Technology (vanligtvis kallat Caltech), "Kaliforniens tekniska högskola", är ett privat forskningsuniversitet som ligger i Pasadena, Kalifornien, USA. Caltech har sex akademiska divisioner med stark betoning på teknik och ingenjörsvetenskap. Dess 124 tunnland (50 hektar) primära campus ligger cirka 18 km nordost om centrala Los Angeles. Universitetet grundades som en förberedande yrkesskola av Amos G. Throop 1891 men lockade inflytelserika forskare som George Ellery Hale, Arthur Amos Noyes och Robert Andrews Millikan i början av 1900-talet. De yrkesinriktade och förberedande skolorna upplöstes och knoppades av år 1910, och skolan antod sitt nuvarande namn 1921. År 1934 blev Caltech invald i Association of American Universities och föregångarna till NASA:s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, som Caltech fortsätter att driva och förvalta, etablerades mellan 1936 och 1943 under Theodore von Kármán. Universitetet finns bland en liten grupp av tekniska institut i USA som tenderar att i första hand ägnas åt undervisning av de tekniska konsterna och tillämpade vetenskaperna. Trots sin ringa storlek, har 32 alumner och fakultetsmedlemmar från Caltech vunnit totalt 33 Nobelpris (Linus Pauling är den enda personen i historien att vinna två odelade priser) och 70 har vunnit National Medal of Science eller Technology. Det finns 112 fakultetsmedlemmar som har valts till National Academies. Dessutom finns ett stort antal fakultetsmedlemmar associerade med Howard Hughes Medical Institute och NASA. Caltech förvaltade $332 miljoner dollar under 2011 i sponsrad forskning och $1,85 miljarder dollar i donationsmedel 2013. Universitetet har också en långvarig rivalitet med Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Förstaårsstudenter måste bo på campus och 95% av undergraduate-studenterna bor kvar i elevhemmen. Trots att Caltech har en stark tradition av practical jokes och upptåg, styrs studentlivet av en hederskod som tillåter fakulteten att tilldela hemtentamen. Caltech Beavers tävlar i 13 interkollegiala sporter i NCAA Division III:s Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Caltech äger och driver Palomarobservatoriet. Universitetet i fiktion Den amerikanska komedi-TV-serien "The Big Bang Theory" kretsar kring fyra forskare vid Caltech och deckar-TV-serien Numb3rs är delvis inspelad på campus, i och med att seriens huvudroll är verksam där.

Chinese American International School

Chinese American International School (CAIS) is an independent preschool through Grade 8 co-educational Chinese-English dual language immersion school located in San Francisco, California. Preschool is full immersion, Kindergarten through Grade 5 are alternating days in conducted in Chinese. The school was the first in the United States to have Mandarin immersion education. CAIS also offers international travel programs for current students, faculty, and staff. The school organizes trips to Taipei and Guilin in the fifth, seventh, and eighth grades. History In 1981, San Francisco Supervisor Carol Ruth Silver searched unsuccessfully for a Mandarin-English school where she could enroll her adopted Taiwanese son. She decided to start her own with the help of district attorney Mimi Luk, Justice Harry Low, Bernard Ivaldi (then Head of the French American International School), Maurice Tseng, Yvon d'Argence (then curator of the Asian Art Museum, Joe Chen, Mike Chiu, Donna Furth, Diana Chan, Francisco Hsieh, George Cheng, and Alice Carnes. In September 1981, the school, then known as the Chinese American Bilingual School, began as a Mandarin-English school. It had an enrollment of four kindergarten students and was operating in the basement of the French American International School. Shirley Lee, a faculty member of the Chinese department at San Francisco State University joined as founding teacher and principal, and remained head of school until her retirement in 2000. In 1989, the school moved to the Presidio of San Francisco. In 1992, a middle school was added (which moved to a new campus in 2015). In 1997 CAIS moved into its campus at 150 Oak St, the former Caltrans headquarters, in partnership with the French American International School. CAIS has received national recognition for its program. In 1987 the US Department of Education designated CAIS the "national prototype for Chinese language education in elementary schools." In 2004, CAIS was awarded the Goldman Sachs Prize for Excellence in International Education. In 2021, CAIS secured the former property of Mercy High School for $40 million, which has now become the new location of the campus.

Hollywood Forever Cemetery

Hollywood Forever Cemetery est un cimetière situé au 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard à Hollywood (district de Los Angeles, Californie). Il est adjacent aux studios Paramount Pictures et aux studios RKO Pictures. Présentation Créé en 1899 sur 100 acres (25 ha), il avait alors pour nom Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery. En 1939, il est racheté par un voyou, Jules Roth, qui par la suite détourne le fonds destiné à entretenir le cimetière, naviguant sur un yacht initialement acheté pour disperser en mer les cendres des défunts qui l'avaient demandé. Il a été racheté en 1998 pour 375 000 dollars par la société Forever, d'où son nom actuel. Depuis, son directeur est Tyler Cassity. L'endroit cherchait depuis un certain temps un repreneur alors qu'il commençait à se délabrer : des sculptures tombaient en ruines, le crématorium ne fonctionnait plus depuis 1974 et certaines familles changeaient leur tombe de cimetière. Son projet, approuvé par le conseil municipal, a transformé le cimetière en lieu de festivités : des projections de films, des concerts (il y a une petite salle de 150 places, le Masonic Lodge) ou encore des fêtes en vue y sont organisés, notamment pour Halloween jusqu'en 2015. Beaucoup de personnalités du monde du spectacle, du cinéma et de la télévision, des habitants de Los Angeles, sont enterrées à cet endroit. Il y a une partie du cimetière réservée à la communauté juive d'Hollywood, au sud-ouest : le cimetière de Beth-Olam.

Hollywood Forever Cemetery

Hollywood Forever Cemetery è un cimitero a servizio completo, un'impresa di pompe funebri, un crematorio e un centro di eventi culturali che ospita regolarmente eventi della comunità come musica dal vivo e proiezioni di film estivi. È uno dei cimiteri più antichi di Los Angeles, in California, e si trova al 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard nel distretto di Hollywood. Venne fondato nel 1899 col nome Hollywood Cemetery, e successivamente era conosciuto come Hollywood Memorial Park fino al 1998, quando gli fu dato il nome attuale. Gli studi della Paramount Pictures si trovano all'estremità sud dello stesso isolato, su 40 acri di terreno che un tempo facevano parte del cimitero ma che non contenevano sepolture. Nel cimitero sono sepolte molte personalità di spicco dell'industria dell'intrattenimento, nonché persone che hanno svolto un ruolo fondamentale nel plasmare Los Angeles.

Gardner di Santa Monica, Joseph D. Rodford, Gilbert Smith e Thomas R. Wallace formarono una società nota come "Hollywood Cemetery Association. Il cimitero vendette ampi tratti di terreno alla Paramount Pictures, che, con la RKO Pictures, acquistò 40 acri nel 1920. Parte del terreno rimanente fu riservato al Beth Olam Cemetery, un cimitero ebraico riservato ai membri della locale comunità ebraica. Sepolture famose Numerosi personaggi famosi, tra cui molte personalità di spicco nell'industria dell'intrattenimento, sono state sepolte nel cimitero, come Edward Bunker, Florence Lawrence, Marion Davies, Burt Reynolds, Chris Cornell, Mel Blanc, Jerry Siegel, Yma Sumac, Ken Miles, Cecil B. DeMille, Fay Wray, Bugsy Siegel, Judy Garland, Johnny Ramone (solo cenotafio), Dee Dee Ramone, Janet Gaynor, Anne Heche, Darren McGavin, Estelle Getty, Anton Yelchin, Scott Weiland, Don Adams, Ann Sheridan, Iron Eyes Cody, Douglas Fairbanks, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Peter Lorre, Richard Maibaum, Mickey Rooney, Tyrone Power, Peter Finch, Gregg Toland, Joe Dassin e Rodolfo Valentino.
