* Singer Building ( Liberty Street and Broadway )

The 47-story Singer Building, completed in 1908, was also designed by Flagg, who designed two landmark residences for Bourne.

Constructed during Bourne's tenure, the Singer Building ( demolished in 1968 ) was then the tallest building in the world.

Another famous Singer Building, designed by architect Pavel Suzor, was built in 1902-1904 at Nevsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg for headquarters of the Russian branch of the company.

* Ernest Flagg ( 1857 – 1947 ), designer of the Singer Building designed the main buildings of the Pomfret School Campus.

Unlike New York's early skyscrapers, which took the form of towers arising from a lower, blockier mass, such as the contemporary Singer Building ( 1902 – 1908 ), the Flatiron Building epitomizes the Chicago school conception: like a classical Greek column, its facade – limestone at the bottom changing to glazed terra-cotta from the Atlantic Terra Cotta Company in Tottenville, Staten Island as the floors rise – is divided into a base, shaft and capital.

Flagg had also designed the company's previous headquarters at 561 Broadway between Prince and Spring Streets – in what is now the SoHo neighborhood – which was referred to as the " Little Singer Building " after the new building was erected.

At 612 feet ( 187 m ) above grade, the Singer Building was the tallest office building in the world from its completion in 1908 until the completion in 1909 of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower at 23rd Street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan.

( Prior to the Singer Building, the 29-story, 391 feet ( 119 m ) tall Park Row Building, completed in 1899, was the tallest building in New York City, and briefly held the title of " Tallest Office Building in the World " until being surpassed in 1901 by the Philadelphia City Hall, at 548 ft ( 167 m ) tall including the statue.

Although New York had a newly created Landmarks Preservation Commission by the time demolition commenced in 1967, and the Singer Building was considered to be one of the most iconic buildings in the city, it did not receive landmark designation that would have prevented demolition.

This record was surpassed in 2001 when the September 11 attacks caused the collapse of the nearby World Trade Center, making the Singer Building the 3rd tallest building to be destroyed, but it is still the tallest building ever peacefully demolished.

The earlier Singer Building in SoHo remains standing.

In 2011 he filmed I, Anna with Gabriel Byrne and Charlotte Rampling, then went on to work on Jack The Giant Killer directed by Bryan Singer, Tower Block in London, and Stoker in Nashville, the latter directed by Park Chan-Wook.

Director Bryan Singer stated at the 2006 Comic-Con that he favored the three-persona concept, stating that there was Clark Kent on the farm, the bumbling Metropolis Clark, and Superman, the Last Son of Krypton.

Friendly with other expatriate American artists, he summered at Broadway, Worcestershire, England, where he painted and vacationed alongside John Singer Sargent at the home of Francis Davis Millet.

Siegfried Fred Singer ( born September 27, 1924 ) is an Austrian-born American physicist and emeritus professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia.

Singer moved back to the United States in 1953, where he took up an associate professorship in physics at the University of Maryland, and at the same time served as the director of the Center for Atmospheric and Space Physics.

In November 1957 Singer and other scientists at the university successfully designed and fired three new " Oriole " rockets off the Virginia Capes.

Singer accepted a professorship in Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia in 1971, a position he held until 1994, where he taught classes on environmental issues such as ozone depletion, acid rain, climate change, population growth, and public policy issues related to oil and energy.

A 1990 article for the Cato Institute identifies Singer as the director of the science and environmental policy project at the Washington Institute for Values in Public Policy, on leave from the University of Virginia.

On two occasions Singer served as chair of the philosophy department at Monash University, where he founded its Centre for Human Bioethics.

After leaving school, Singer studied law, history and philosophy at the University of Melbourne, gaining his BA degree ( hons ) in 1967.

In his book Rethinking Life and Death, as well as in Practical Ethics, Singer asserts that, if we take the premises at face value, the argument is deductively valid.

Singer comments that defenders of abortion attack the second premise, suggesting that the fetus becomes a " human " or " alive " at some point after conception ; however, Singer finds this argument flawed in that that human development is a gradual process, and it is nearly impossible to mark a particular moment in time as the moment at which human life begins.

Singer at MIT.

Since a capacity to experience the sensations of suffering or satisfaction is a prerequisite to having any preferences at all, and a fetus, up to around eighteen weeks, says Singer, has no capacity to suffer or feel satisfaction, it is not possible for such a fetus to hold any preferences at all.

Singer lecturing at Oxford University

Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal wrote to organisers of a Swedish book fair to which Singer was invited that " A professor of morals ... who justifies the right to kill handicapped newborns ... is in my opinion unacceptable for representation at your level.

A course in ethics led by Dr Hartmut Kliemt at the University of Duisburg where the main text used was Singer's Practical Ethics was, according to Singer, " subjected to organized and repeated disruption by protesters objecting to the use of the book on the grounds that in one of its ten chapters it advocates active euthanasia for severely disabled newborn infants ".

When Singer attempted to speak during a lecture at Saarbrücken, he was interrupted by a group of protesters including advocates for the disabled.

The same year, Peter Singer was invited to speak in Marburg at a European symposium on " Bioengineering, Ethics and Mental Disability.

In 1991, Singer was due to speak along with R. M. Hare and Georg Meggle at the fifteenth International Wittgenstein Symposium in Kirchberg, Austria.
