In Portland, Oregon on February 28th, 1901, Linus Carl Pauling was born to Herman Henry William Pauling, a bread salesman and Lucy Isabelle Darling. His fascination with chemistry began when he was very young. He used to help friend and mentor Lloyd A. Jeffress, who owned a small laboratory kit. In high school, Pauling would steal scraps from from an abandoned steel plant to do experiments in secret. At the age of 15, Linus had enough credits to enter Oregon State, so he left Washington High School, without a diploma and entered college in 1917. Linus’ high school granted him his diploma 45 years later. During his first semester of his freshman year of college, Linus took two courses in chemistry, two in mathematics, mechanical drawing, introduction to mining and use of explosives, modern English prose, and gymnastics. He was very involved with campus life and he founded the school’s Delta Upsilon Fraternity. This fraternity is the seventh oldest and all male. Just after his sophomore year in …show more content…
Linus and his wife Ava, spent 58 years together and had four children and thirteen grandchildren. Linus Pauling is known to be one of the greatest, craziest and most accomplished scientists in the world. He has helped guide our country in incredible ways. We have him to thank for helping ban nuclear testing, for the incubator for children, his great additions to molecular structure of crystals, and his usage of X-ray diffraction, and his founding of ‘molecular disease’ which has inspired research work on many more such disorders and is the basis of today’s ‘human genome research’. In 2008, 41 cent stamp was released with his face on it, in his honor. Pauling’s quirky, passionate, and joyful personality made him not only a great contribution to science, but to humanity as well. “Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.”- Linus
On a stormy night in 1856, Nikola Tesla was born. In his time most of his ideas were stolen and he was considered crazy. Tesla wasn’t searching for riches; rather he wanted to help the future of mankind. He was always looking for new ways to wield electricity to improve his inventions. Most of his inventions were under looked, at first they seemed impossible but he soon proved to the world that the impossible could be done. From his childhood to his adulthood, he always tried to invent new things. He spent most his time inventing so he wasn’t able to back up his previous inventions.
Since Linus worked many Jobs, he had enough money to attend college. Linus Attended the Oregon Agricultural College. This is where Linus became more fascinated about chemistry. Linus also loved learning about Mathematics and Physics. When Linus was not studying , he was teaching Chemistry to people at the facility. Here he meets his future wife, Ava Miller. The two would also have 4 children. In 1922, Linus attended in the school, “California Institute of Technology.” Linus used X- Ray diffraction to understand how Atoms formed to make Molecules. This new found made him be awarded with a Doctorate in Chemistry/Math. In 1926, Linus went to Europe for 18 months. When Linus returned, he brought knowledge about chemistry that is still in todays
This is about when Gary Paulsen was growing up and how he came about loving books. Gary paulsen was born on May seventeenth, ninteen-thirtynine, he was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Paulsen didn’t have a great family so he first lived with his grandmother before he left at the age of seven. When he was seven years old he got a new family. Paulsens new mom took him to Manlia Phillippines to where his new dad was living. When Paulsens parents would fight he would get distreased. He ended up failing ninth grade because he couldn’t read books.

Here is my sacred space, Carlin Park, which is located in my hometown, Jupiter, Florida! The park features tennis courts where I often practice, a running trail, a delicious restaurant, and of course beautiful beach access to Juno Beach. You can spend an entire day here and never get bored, although many people simply set up a picnic at the many picnic tables or just relax. This place is sacred to me because whenever my life got hectic, I knew I could pack up my car and head over to Carlin Park and spend a couple hours at the beach to clear my head. The space itself is so bright and open since it is right on the water. There is so much to do and appreciate. I had my first cross country meet ever in this park, and I was not even nervous since

Grams is the one women in my life that means more than the world to me. That beautiful, and kind women would be my grandma. Her name is Merilee Epler, and she is 70 years old. I call her “Grams”, because that's what she prefers to be called. Even my closest friends call her Grams. Grams enormously abhors being called grandma or Merilee by her family and loved ones. In my life, Grams is the most important person to me.
James Welling is commonly lumped in with the group of artists referred to as the Pictures Generation – the generation of artitsts that were coming of age in the late 70s, as the first generation to be strongly defined by the omnipresense of mass media, and who created works that were critical of this nature of media (CITE).1 During his time at CalArts, Welling was producing collage work that was very much in line with his fellow artists in the group. His MFA thesis work, And Should (1974) was a series of photo offset immages centered around the photography in the ads of Winston Cigaretes. However, he quickly abandoned this style of art making in favor of producing photographs of his own. Since his work no longer makes use of appropriated
“Tesla was considered a god among men; his efforts in scientific discovery have even influenced some of today’s brightest minds” (Vladimir Pištalo). Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in the village of Smiljan, Austrian Empire (Croatia) to an intelligent mother, an Orthodox priest for a father, and four other siblings. Attended engineering and technology schools all the way up until his college years; after graduation in 1873 Tesla spent about a decade, moving around from village to village enrolling in different colleges, working for various corporations and trying to avoid being drafted into the army. He would eventually move to the United States in June 1884, during the “Machine Age” (1880-1945), in order to pursue
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor and an engineer. Tesla was best known for his contributions to alternating-current electricity. Born July 10, 1856 in Croatia, his father was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox church and his mother managed the family’s farm. He was one of the five children of Duka and Milutin Tesla. Nikola Tesla was born approximately at midnight , during a lightning storm. During Tesla’s birth, and according to the story told by his family, the midwife wrung her hands and declared the lightning a bad omen. “This child will be a child of darkness,” she reportedly said, to which Tesla’s mother replied: “No. He will be a child of light.” Nikola Tesla studied in Gymnasium Karlovac from 1870 to 1873 and Graz University of Technology from 1875 to 1878. Nikola came to America in 1884 and worked briefly with inventor Thomas Edison. Tesla met extraordinarily famous writer Mark Twain in a club. They became great friends and their friendship lasted over
Thanks to two great inventors we now have the use of electricity known as Alternating Current and Direct Currents. These two inventors are known as Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. I am going to give you a brief history of the two men, explain AC and DC, and tell who won the War of Currents. Although, the two inventors didn’t see eye to eye, they invented incredible things we use now a days.
Nikola Tesla is an extremely smart man who is left in the shadows of scientists and inventors. Tesla is mainly known for his involvement with the electric current battle with Thomas Edison. He was truly a man of science and was exploring many different fields of study. He even is partially credited for early radio transmission. Many people do not know about his darker side involving things such as a death ray. Tesla was a man of many crafts who did not get credit that he deserved for the things in which he invented.
Tesla was born on the date of July 10, 1856, in Smiljian, Croatia. Tesla took an interest in electrical inventing from his mother, Djuka Mandic, and she made small household appliances in the free time she had while her son grew up. Teslas father, Milutin Tesla, was a writer and a priest and he wanted Tesla to become a priest when he grew up, But Teslas interests were firmly in the art of science. He studyied for four years at the Realschule, Karlstadt; the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, Austria; and he also studied at the University of Prague in the 1870s. After his studyies in Realschule, Tesla found a new home in Budapest, where he found work at the Central Telephone Exchange. While Tesla was in Budapest,
Van Dongen's fashionable depictions of nudes synthesize all that was chic and desirable during the 1920s. Van Dongen executed paintings inspired by his visits to the cabarets and cafés where dancers performed in exotic costumes. In 1917, the artist began a relationship with Léa Jacob, also known as Jasmy, who helped launch his career in Parisian fashion circles. In 1922 the couple moved to a new residence at 5 rue Juliette Lamber. Here Van Dongen held exhibitions and Jasmy hosted extravagant parties attended by influential members of society.
Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856, in what is now Smiljan, Croatia and died on January 7th, 1943 in Manhattan, New York City, NY. He was a Serbian American physicist, electrical engineer, inventor, and mechanical engineer. He was the fourth child of five and had three sisters and one older brother. Tesla's curiosity in electrical invention was spurred by his mom, Djuka Mandic, who in her spare time invented small household appliances. Tesla's father, Milutin Tesla, was a priest and a writer. He pushed Tesla to join the priesthood, but Tesla was interested in science and refused to join.
