HISTORY OF BROWN SCHOOL

In September of 1893, Miss Helen “Nellie” Churchill Brown opened the Brown School in the front two rooms of her family home at 237 Liberty Street, with 12 pupils, age 8-11.
During the early 1900s, Miss Brown’s School grew quickly and moved several times, to Park Avenue, 1230 Rugby Road, and eventually in 1906 to 1184 Rugby Road within the G.E. Realty Plot. A building was constructed on land donated by the Schenectady Realty Company, as part of it’s planned community.
For many years, Brown School primarily educated children who lived in the G.E. Realty Plot. The area behind the school, an old quarry known affectionately as the “Dump”, was the scene celebrated of Maypole dances, “Olympic Games”, and even ski lessons. Each winter the Dump was flooded and served as a skating pond for the exclusive use of Plot residents. The fire hydrant installed for this purpose is still visible today.
In 1920 Miss Brown retired, the school’s operation was taken over the by the Parents’ Association, and Brown School received its Charter from the Board of Regents. In 1924 the corporation received the title of the school building from the Rice family and others. In 1927 the school’s curriculum expanded to include high school students, and the house next door to 1184 Rugby Road was purchased to accommodate the lower school.
By the early 1930s there were as many as 90 students between the two buildings. Only girls were allowed in the upper grades, known as Miss Brown’s Seminary for Young Ladies. Many extracurricular activities were offered, including drama, glee club, bicycling, horseback riding and skiing. The girls competed in field hockey and basketball as either members of the brown Team or Orange Team. The Babbler was the school newspaper. By 1938, with only seven students in the graduating class, retrenchment became necessary. The upper school was eliminated, and the second building was sold.
In 1947 Miss Brown passed away and was buried in Vale Cemetery in Schenectady. In 2006 Brown School adopted Miss Brown’s grave, during the school year fifth through eighth grade students maintain the grave and its surrounding area. At the time of her death, Brown School had 80 children enrolled in the nursery school through sixth grade.
The 1950s marked a time in Brown’s history when expenses were considerably less than they are now. For example, the mortgage was $33.62 a month, the telephone charge was $15.64 a month, and oil cost 13.5 cents a gallon.
Brown School’s enrollment in 1973 was 40 children, from nursery through grade six. Of those 40 children, 10 were born in countries other that the United States.
Although Brown School only went up to second grade by the early 1980s, its enrollment was at 80 students. In 1984 the school began to expand at the rate of one grade level each year. The elementary school moved to space in the Van Antwerp School on Story Avenue and remained there for seven years. During that time the nursery classes operated from the Rugby Road building. Enrollment gradually increased to about 125 students in kindergarten through fifth grade, and to 65 students in the nursery program.
In 1991 the upper grades (K-5) moved to a facility on Eleanor Street, with the advantage of being the sole tenant and manager of its own space.
The expansion to include Middle School was begun in 1996. That initiative made a search for a permanent home for the nursery through eighth grade school all the more critical. During the 1996-1997 school year Brown School’s Board of Trustees arranged for the purchase of a facility at 150 Corlaer Avenue (the former Notre Dame Academy). It was during that time that the location on Rugby Road was sold. By 1999 Brown School graduated it’s first eighth grade class from the 150 Corlaer location.
Today the school remains Schenectady’s only independent nonsectarian school. And, as Brown School looks forward to the 21st century, it remains steadfast in its commitment to Helen Brown’s vision of excellence in education.

The Rockefeller Group is a global private company based in New York City, primarily involved in real estate operations in the United States. It is fully owned by Mitsubishi Estate Co. Ltd. For 70 years, the Group has initiated some of the biggest projects in commercial real estate in the US, beginning with the development of one of the world’s major complexes in Rockefeller Center.

After building the original 6 million-square-foot, Art Deco complex from 1931 into the 1940s (the company name was then the Metropolitan Square Corporation), employing nearly 75,000 workers, the real estate company developed several towers in the immediate vicinity from the late 1940s into the 1950s and ’60s. It entered into a partnership with Time-Life and constructed a 48-story building for the company that opened in 1959; this spearheaded the expansion of the Center to the west of 6th Avenue, Avenue of the Americas.

By the early 1970s, they had added a total of four International Style towers to Rockefeller Center, more than doubling the size of the original complex.

In 2003, they formed a joint venture with CommonWealth Partners, LLC to manage large real estate properties in the United States.

Today, the Group maintains an ownership/management position in the 7.7 million square feet of premier office space that makes up Rockefeller Center’s western corridor (the newer buildings). The eastern and original part of the Center is now owned by Tishman Speyer and the Crown family of Chicago.

Buildings

• Constructed the 43-story Sperry-Rand Building at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, in participation with the Uris Building Corporation (1962).
• Purchased the 28-story Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company Building at 600 Fifth Avenue (1963).
• Participated with the Hilton Hotels Corporation to build the New York Hilton on the Avenue of the Americas (1963).
• Constructed the 1 million-square-foot headquarters building for Public Service Electric & Gas in Newark, New Jersey (1970s).
• Co-developed in a joint venture with Continental Insurance Company, the Continental Center in Manhattan, which serves as that company’s headquarters (1980s).

Subsidiary

• Cushman & Wakefield, Inc., now a full-service real estate brokerage firm operating in 46 countries, acquired from RCA in 1976; originally founded in 1917.

Bunched logic is a variety of substructural logic that, like linear logic, has classes of multiplicative and additive operators, but differs from usual proof calculi in having a tree-like context of hypotheses instead of a flat list-like structure; it is thus a calculus of deep inference. Sub-trees of the context tree are referred to as bunches; hence the name. The internal nodes in the context tree are labelled with the mode of composition — multiplicative or additive, with the following characteristics:

• Multiplicative composition denies the structural rules of weakening and contraction.
• Additive composition admits weakening and contraction of entire bunches.

Bunched logic extended with a semantic model of locations and store is known as separation logic. It has been used to define the logic of pointer-analysis in languages like ALGOL or C.

The Inner Tantras are the final three divisions in the ninefold division of practice according to the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. This system divides the whole of the Buddhist path into three divisions of three and is in contrast to the division of the Sarma, or New Translation schools (Gelug, Kagyu and Sayka) which use a fourfold division. The three divisions of the Inner Tantra correspond roughly to the highest category of tantras of the New Translation schools, there known as Anuttarayoga Tantra.

The three divisions of the Inner Tantras are:

• Mahayoga
• Anuyoga
• Atiyoga also known as Dzogchen or the Great Perfection.

Among other factors, the three divisions differ in terms of the emphasis they place on the generation stage and completion stage of tantric practice. The Mahayoga emphasizes the generation stage, Anuyoga the completion stage and Atiyoga the synthesis and transcendence of both.

As well as being differentiated in terms of emphasis in practice, the three categories of Inner Tantra are also textual categories, with lists of texts assigned to each category; for which see the individual articles for each section.

Firth Moor is a place in the borough of Darlington and the ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is situated to the south east of Darlington town centre.
It was once County Durham’s largest council estate. In 2001, Firth Moor went through a regeneration scheme in which new houses were built at the rear of the estate. This new estate was renamed “Moor Fields” and it provided the luxury of new houses at affordable prices.

Firth Moor also has its own Primary School.

Intangible property, also known as incorporeal property, describes something which a person or corporation can have ownership of and can transfer ownership of to another person or corporation, but has no physical substance. It generally refers to statutory creations such as copyright, trademarks, or patents. It excludes tangible property like real property (land, buildings and fixtures) and personal property (ships, automobiles, tools, etc.). In some jurisdictions intangible property are referred to as choses in action. Intangible property is used in distinction to tangible property. It is useful to note that there are two forms of intangible property - legal intangible property (which is discussed here) and competitive intangible property (which is the source from which legal intangible property is created but cannot be owned, extinguished, or transferred). Competitive intangible property disobeys the intellectual property test of voluntary extinguishment and therefore results in the sources that create intellectual property (knowledge in its source form, collaboration, process-engagement, etc) escaping quantification.

Generally, ownership of intangible property gives the owner a set of legally enforceable rights over reproduction of personal property containing certain content. For example, a copyright owner can control the reproduction of the work forming the copyright. However, the intangible property forms a set of rights separate from the tangible property that carries the rights. For example, the owner of a copyright can control the printing of books containing the content, but the book itself is personal property which can be bought and sold without concern over the rights of the copyright holder.

In English law and other Commonwealth legal systems, intangible property is traditionally divided in pure intangibles (such as debts, intellectual property rights and goodwill) and documentary intangibles, which obtain their character through the medium of a document (such as a bill of lading, promissory note or bill of exchange). The recent rise of electronic documents has blurred the distinction between pure intangibles and documentary intangibles.

A state variable is any variable which represents the state of an object.

Thermodynamic variables are sometimes called state variables.

Control Systems Engineering

In Control Engineering and other areas of science and engineering, state variables are used to represent the states of a general system. The state variables can be used to describe the state space (controls) of the system. The equations relating the current state and output of a system to its current input and past states are called the state equations. The state equations for a linear time invariant system are expressed with Coefficient matrices:

<math>A\,\!</math> existing in dimension R^N*N

<math>B\,\!</math> existing in dimension R^N*L

<math>C\,\!</math> existing in dimension R^M*N

<math>D\,\!</math> existing in dimension R^M*L

Discrete-Time Systems

The state variable representing the current state of a discrete-time system (i.e. digital systems) is <math>x(n)\,</math>, where n is the discrete point at which the system is being evaluated. The discrete-time state equations are

<math> x(n+1) = Ax(n) + Bu(n)\,\!</math> , which describes the next state of the system (x(n+1)) with respect to current state and inputs u(n) of the system.

<math> Y(n) = Cx(n) + Du(n)\,\!</math> , which describes the output Y(n) with respect to current states and inputs u(n) to the system.

Continuous Time Systems (Analog)

The state variable representing the current state of a continuous-time system (i.e. analog systems) is <math>x(t)\,</math>, and the continuous time state equations are

<math> \frac{dx(t)}{dt} \ = Ax(t) + Bu(t)\,\!</math> , which describes the next state of the system <math> \frac{dx(t)}{dt} \,\!</math> with respect to current state x(t) and inputs u(t) of the system.

<math> Y(t) = Cx(t) + Du(t)\,\!</math> , which describes the output Y(t) with respect to current states x(t) and inputs u(t) to the system.

August Bondeson (February 2, 1854, Vessigebro, Sweden-September 23, 1906, Gothenburg, Sweden) was an Swedish author and depictor of popular culture.

He is one of the most popular depictors of popular Swedish culture. He did in particular study popular life in souther Sweden, close to his birthplace. Tales such as “Halländska sagor, samlade och berättade” (Collected and Narrated Hallandic Tales), “Allmogeberättelser” (Popular Tales) och “Historiegubbar på Dal” (Tale-telling Old Mans at Dal) gave him a large and faithful audience.

He is most wellknown for “John Chronschoughs memoarer från uppväksttiden och seminarieåren” (John Chronschough’s memoirs), which take place at the teachers seminar in Gothenburg in the early 1860s. The book was publisched in 1897 and was followed by an independent second part 1904.

His home Fågelboet (the Birds nest) was donated to the County Museum of Halland and is preserved almost unchanged since the days of Bondeson.

Lateral and subjacent support, in the law of property, describes the right a landowner has to have that land physically supported in its natural state by both adjoining land and underground structures. If a neighbor’s excavation causes the landowners land to cave in, the neighbor will be subject to strict liability in a tort action. The neighbor will also be strictly liable for damage to buildings on the landowner’s property if the landowner can show that the weight of the buildings did not contribute to the collapse of the land. If the landowner is unable to make such a showing, the neighbor must be shown to have been negligent for the landowner to recover any damages.

Because the landowner owns everything beneath the ground on his property, he may convey to another party the rights to mineral deposits under the land, and other things requiring excavation. However, such a conveyance requires the recipient to prevent any damage to the surface of the land caused by the excavation, unless the conveyance itself grants express authority for the surface land to be damaged “as reasonably necessary” for the recipient to exercise his extraction rights.

A dado rail, also know as a chair rail, is a type of moulding fixed horizontally to the wall around the perimeter of a room.

The dado rail is traditionally part of the dado and, although the purpose of the dado is mainly aesthetic in modern homes, it provides the wall with protection from furniture and other contact. Traditionally, the height of the dado rail was around 900 mm, which was a suitable height to protect the wall from the backs of chairs. Since the original purpose of the dado treatment is not applicable in modern homes, it is common to see dado rails at 1200 mm or even 1500 mm from the floor.

Dado rails are also sometimes applied to a wall without the full dado treatment. The purpose of the rail in these cases may still be protective, and it is common in environments where walls are subject to a lot of wear and tear, such as shopping centres and hospitals.

Eurosclerosis is a term coined in the 1980s to describe a European economic pattern of high unemployment and slow job creation in spite of overall economic growth. This was in contrast to what the United States experienced in the same period when economic expansion was accompanied by high job growth. Later, the term tended to be used more broadly to refer to overall economic stagnation.

Luxury real estate (or luxury property in British English) is the real estate market niche targeted at the highest socio-economic group of consumers.

Definition

The characteristics that define Luxury real estate differ among countries. However, location largely defines the property’s value, especially with respect to whether it offers views (particularly, waterfront ones) or amenities such as proximity to golf courses, school districts, and the downtown district. Thus, a 750 square-foot waterfront home with less than one acre of property might be worth more than a 10,000 square-foot mansion with ten acres of property.

In the previous example, the former would be called a “luxury property”, whereas the latter would be called a “luxury home”. Both properties, however, owing to their high value, would be classified as “luxury real estate”.

Luxury real estate in any particular region is generally defined as property worth more than a certain lower limit; for instance, homes worth more than $1 million in the United States are generally classified as Luxury real estate. The classification also takes into account the presence of surrounding homes, amenities, views, waterfronts, absence of crime-rate, industrialization or unwanted commercialization, customizations of the home, and historical or architectural significance.

Differences from ordinary real estate

Luxury real estate entails greater responsibility for agents who handle transactions than ordinary real estate. They must advertise to a national audience to attract non-local buyers, whereas ordinary real estate only generally requires exposure in local media. There are also greater legal responsibilities for the luxury estate agent, which often involve attornies, trusts, and anonymity issues. Buyers often require more inspections than with ordinary real estate (which are generally bought after a single inspection).

Aethelbert, or, more correctly, Æðelberht, was King of Sussex, but is known only from charters. The dates of Æðelberht’s reign are unknown beyond the fact that it overlapped at least in part with the bishopship of Sigeferth of Selsey, as Sigeferth witnessed an undated charter of Æðelberht [1] in which Æðelberht is styled Ethelbertus rex Sussaxonum.

Sigeferth, called Sicgga for short, was the 3rd Bishop of Selsey, consecrated in 733 by Archbishop Tatwine, and was still bishop in 747, when he attended the Synod of Clofesho. His date of death is unknown.

Another undated charter, in which Æðelberht is called Adelbertus rex Australium Saxonum, is believe to be a forgery [2].

Barker (1947) commented “This pair of charters have certain peculiar phrases, especially the firmiter … præsumat which takes the place of a form introduced by Si quis in most charters. Both state that they were written by the king, and in No. X confixi is a very unusual word for this; it means literally ‘pinned together’, hence here ‘put together’ or ‘compiled’. The early eighth century was age of enlightened kings: Ealdfrið and Eadberht of Northumbria and Ine of Wessex are examples. It is, therefore, not impossible that these two charters were in fact personally drawn up by the king.” However, “confixi” is only in the forged charter.

Æðelberht is also mentioned in an undated endorsement to a charter of Noðhelm as Ethilberchto rege [3].

Green liberalism is a term used to refer to liberals who have incorporated green concerns into their ideology.

Green liberalism values the planet very highly; it is considered very important that the planet be passed down to the next generation unharmed. Green liberalism accepts that the natural world is a system in a state of flux, and does not seek to conserve the natural world as it is. However, it does seek to minimise the damage done by the human species on the natural world, and to aid the regeneration of damaged areas.

In economic issues, green liberals take a position somewhere between classical liberalism and new liberalism: they favor slightly less government involvement than do new liberals, but far more than do classical liberals. Some within the circle of green liberals practice free-market environmentalism and thus, sharing similarity with classical liberalism or libertarianism. This is one of few reasons why blue-green alliance is possible in politics.

The historian Conrad Russell, a British Liberal Democrat member of the House of Lords, dedicated a chapter of his book The Intelligent Person’s Guide to Liberalism to the subject of green liberalism. The term green liberalism was coined, however, by political philosopher Marcel Wissenburg in - among others - his 1998 book Green Liberalism: The free and the green society.

In law, the term messuage equates to a dwelling-house and includes outbuildings, orchard, curtilage or court-yard and garden. At one time messuage supposedly had a more extensive meaning than that comprised in the word house or site, but such distinction, if it ever existed, no longer survives.

A capital messuage is the main messuage of an estate, the house in which the owner of the estate normally lives.

The word messuage derives from the Anglo-French mesuage (holding), probably a corruption of popular Latin mansio, whence modern French maison (house), from manere (to dwell).

Fortune 1000 is a reference to a list maintained by the American business magazine Fortune. The list is of the 1000 largest American companies, ranked on revenues alone. Eligible companies are any for which revenues are publicly available (which is a larger universe than “public companies,” as the term is commonly understood, meaning “companies whose common stock trades on a stock market”).

The list draws the attention of business readers seeking to learn the influential players in the American economy and prospective sales targets, as these companies tend to have large budgets and staff needs.

The following list indicates data from the 2007 list:
