What's the best way to email the primary contact for an account? The answer to this question always seems to be right on the tip of CRM users' tongues, but often leaves them stumped. Depending on the volume of primary contacts and the frequency at which you need to email the individuals in question, you may find a quick send template, a marketing list or a CRM workflow most effective.
With the quick send feature, you can quickly and easily tee up an email send record directly from an individual's lead or contact record. So, if you're reviewing an account and click through to the primary contact's contact record, you can send out a personalized email with information about the account through the use of FreeMarker.
In this case, the recipient of our email is a contact record, but we want to reference data from the Account record that is linked to the recipient. Since we are not emailing the account record directly, we will need to reference this data through the lookup field on the contact record and write our FreeMarker accordingly. More information on writing your own advanced FreeMarker can be found here.
This second option uses a combination of the CRM advanced find tool and the ClickDimensions import tool. Start by setting up your advanced find. Your query should look for the account entity (we will set up columns to display the relevant contact data momentarily). Set your search criteria to be records where the Primary Contact > Contains Data. You can also add in any other criteria as relevant (i.e., Description > Equals > Up for Renewal).
Then, click the Edit Columns button, followed by the Add Columns button.
From the Record Type drop-down menu, change the entity from account to primary contact (contact).
This will present you with the list of fields on the contact entity. You can select any pertinent information as needed, but since we are planning to use the import tool, we need to make sure to include the email address. This is what ClickDimensions uses as the unique identifier. Click OK to add your columns.
After generating your results, you can export the data to Excel.
From there, you can paste the data into the ClickDimensions import template. Since these contacts already exist in your CRM environment, you really only need the email address. We won't be bringing in any new data, just using the import tool to drop these people into a marketing list. Since ClickDimensions uses the email address as the identifier, that's all the data you need.
Once your import is complete, you'll have a robust marketing list to use for your email send.
This last option uses a custom CRM workflow to automate the process of sending emails to the primary contact directly from the account entity. In our example, the workflow has been designed as an on-demand process to check for accounts that are currently up for renewal. You could customize your workflow to be a background process and start when a field on the account record is changed or when a new account record is created, depending on your business needs.
If the account is up for renewal, we will use the Send ClickDimensions Email step to create our email send record. You can use the form assistant on the right-hand menu to generate CRM dynamic values that designate the primary contact as the recipient.
After saving and activating your workflow, you can select the desired accounts and notify the primary contacts by selecting Run Workflow from the ellipses menu.
How recent is this blog? Are these still the best 3 solutions for creating a marketing list from contacts who are primary contacts on an account?
Thanks for the question, Whitney! This blog was published in October of 2017, and still reflects the best solution.


Some fun links for you all: Ninjaforce has opened their funky new page at, oddly enough, www.ninjaforce.com. Nice domain! Check out the latest screenshots of their up and coming IIGS game Kaboom!
Also, check out Aaron R. Willis' page devoted to the IIGS game War in Middle Earth.
The ShrinkIt! archive is now online! Owners of real Apple IIGS machines are now able to download each archive to use on their real equipment. It is recommended that when downloading the ShrinkIt! archives, that you force your browser to download to a file, by either selecting the command by the contextual menu that appears when the mouse button is held down or using the right mouse button. Alternatively, hold down the option key on the Mac and click on the link and for the PC, I believe it's shift.
There's a whole new bunch of updated thumbnail images: 4th & Inches, Jack Nicklaus Golf, Shanghai, Hunt for Red October, Tower of Myraglen (thanks Lachlan Arnott), Roadwar 2000, Mini Putt, Space Quest 1, Paperboy (thanks Michael Bradley), Monte Carlo (thanks Frank Bannon) and Qix (thanks to myself on that one).
Added the virtually unheard of game, Full Metal Planete. Added better thumbnail images for Arkanoid II, Bubble Ghost, Dark Castle, Defender of the Crown, Final Assault, Jigsaw and Shadowgate. Thanks goes to John Balestrieri for all of these new scans. Subsequently, the wanted game box scan list has been updated. Keep em coming guys!
Bernie ][ the Rescue 2.5 has been released! The new version supports better integration between GS/OS and the Mac OS, i.e. you can now simply drag and drop files between the Mac and IIGS desktops. More importantly for gamers however, is that sound has been improved - no more low volume problems. Testing the new version myself, I have to report that it's absolute aural bliss now. There don't appear to be any incompatibility fixes for games however, apart from the exception that Mean 18 now takes key input every fourth second or so, but the sound improvement has been worth waiting for.
On the same day that the new version of Bernie has been released, Mac users were doubly blessed. A new version of XGS, for PowerPC and 68k Macs has been released. The new version is now called iGS, the 'i' standing for 'improved'. The program is a lot easier to use now, not to mention that it's useable at all; previous versions of XGS failed to run with MacOS 8.5 or higher. Get it from Michael Bytnar's XGS page.
Still no joy for Windows users wanting to emulate the IIGS. I haven't heard of XGS development becoming anyone's priority, nor do I know what happened to reports of a promising emulator called dApple. If anyone has information regarding IIGS emulators for Windows, contact me so the word can be spread to relieve the suffering of Windows users everywhere. In the meantime, they could always install BeOS and checkout Sweet 16!
As you may have noticed for the past two weeks, the Fairway has moved to its new home at Inwards. Thanks bigtime to Hard Code for hosting the archive on Inwards. Thanks also for helping sort out the early teething problems.
Sorry about the archive not being enabled over the weekend. Server problems beyond my control I'm afraid. Anyway, to compensate, I'm going to keep download access enabled from now until the archive moves to its new home in two to three weeks. Thanks to all those who offered alternatives for the Fairway relocation! In the meantime, enjoy the new archive additions: The Lost Tribe and Revolution 76. I've also included a new thumbnail graphic to John Elway's Quarterback (thanks to Steve McCartt) as well as updated its documentation. I've also updated the docs for WindWalker.
Bad news I'm afraid. The archive has had to be temporarily disabled, with demand outweighing expectation, as downloads have exceeded a point where the connection for succeeding downloads must be paid extra for. Since I haven't paid for the connection thus far, the Fairway has been lucky up until this point. You can still view the web pages, but none of the links to archives are functioning.
I will sort something as soon as I can, but don't hold your breath for anything soon. I do apologise.
31/07/1999: Minor Updates and...Crash Bandicoot?!?
Added better thumbnail game boxes for Black Cauldron (thanks Paul Lunga), Man Hunter: New York (thanks Tyler Van Tighem), Roadwar 2000 and Battle Chess (thanks Willie Yeo). Finally got round to adding more of a plot description for Dungeon Master (thanks Nicholas Marx). Keep those best quality JPG, 300dpi, 1:1 scans of gameboxes coming in. I've updated the list below of what still remains to complete the archive.
Sorry for the recent lack of updates, I've been bogged down with Uni again since semester started three weeks ago, and I've also been addicted to Crash Bandicoot Warped, played under emulation on my G3. I haven't had so much fun with a new game in ages :-) For those that don't know, Crash Bandicoot is the brainchild of Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin, former IIGS developers who created Dream Zone and Keef the Thief. Interestingly, I've found five secret levels, one of which is called Ski Crazed, which was their first ever game on the Apple II. They haven't forgotten their roots, and it's also evident at their site www.naughtydog.com.
Added better thumbnail game box images for Dungeon Master, Neuromancer, Balance of Power, Questron 2 and Transylvania 3 thanks to Mary Sauer. Also added better thumbnails for Spirit of Excalibur and Gold of the Americas (from the Mac versions). Thanks goes to Willie Yeo for these, and I'd also just like to thank Willie for scans he has provided in the past. Finally, I've also added a better thumbnail for Serve and Volley, which was included with a mint condition ROM01 Apple IIGS - much thanks to Barbara Brook, for allowing me to clean out your cupboard!
Added ChessMaster 2100, Shanghai II, The Secrets of Bahras and the rare, unreleased game Project Neptune. Thanks to Ton for ChessMaster and Bahras and thanks goes to someone who now wishes to remain anonymous for Shanghai II and Project Neptune.


Finally, finally, finally. I have finally made my way to Los Angeles. It had been a long-time dream of mine to visit this city, and it did not disappoint. I went for a week with some of my close friends. Half of us had been there before, the other half was experiencing it for the first time. And I'll admit, I went full tourist-mode. Although ideally I would have liked to be in LA for 2 weeks, that wasn't a possibility since I'm still in school. That being said, we made the best of that 1 week and I managed to do most of the things I had wanted to.
Here are some of the places I went to in LA, and the outfits I wore!
Can you really say you went to LA if you didn't go see the iconic sign? It was amazing enough to see the sign from afar, but we wanted to also hike up and see the view from where the sign is. It was a hot and sweaty hike, but so so worth it.
Another iconic landmark. Not as large as I had expected it to be, compared to how it looked in movies and photos, but still beautiful. It's nice during the daytime, but I would definitely recommend visiting during the night. It felt so magical walking through these rows of bright lights!
Despite being the home to many Hollywood stars, I unfortunately did not bump into any. I did, however, come across a number of aesthetic streets lined with towering palm trees. Ugh, if only Toronto had something like that.
If you're visiting LA, you have got to allocate at least one full day as a beach day. The beaches in LA are beautiful, and the sunsets are breathtaking. I visited both Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier within one day. We drove from one beach to the other, but it's close enough to be walkable too (around 40-60 minutes).
Who doesn't love a swimsuit that can double as a regular outfit? This super cute white top is just one part of my white bikini, but when it's that cute I just had to wear it as an outfit. Malibu beach was a little less crowded than Venice and Santa Monica, but nonetheless gorgeous. If you happen to visit, you definitely need to go to Malibu Farm! The view and the food there is bomb.
So the story behind this photo is pretty funny. We had initially planned on going to Melrose Place to get bubble tea from Alfred's Tea Room and to take a photo in front of a really cute pink wall adorned with cacti.
We achieved neither of them. We unfortunately arrived just shortly after Alfred's closed for the day. And the pink wall? We spent quite some time searching for it, only to find out that the wall had been painted blue. I'm not going to lie, I was a bit disappointed...but hey, the blue ended up turning out pretty nice!
I was pretty excited for this one. I'm a huge lover of Shake Shack, but I've always wanted to try In-N-Out because of its crazy mixed reviews. Apparently you either love it or you hate it. And....I hate to say it but I didn't love it. The one thing I did love is their interior. The red & white retro vibes are so fun!
Do you have any LA spots that you like to go to, that I missed in this post? Let me know so I can check it out next time!

The urban-rural divide in this country is real and growing. The economic recovery from the Great Recession has been largely limited to a handful of metropolitan areas, especially the Boston-Washington corridor and the Pacific Coast. Cities like San Francisco, New York, and Boston continue to set records for housing costs, according to The Economist, while Riverside, Las Vegas, and Phoenix, among others, still haven't recovered from the crash. Moreover, according to Scott Beyer of Forbes, rural parts of the country are losing population and jobs. As Vishaan Chakrabarti pointed out in his book A Country of Cities, in 2012, 90 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product came from the three percent of the country inside metropolitan areas.
Much worse for these places is the ongoing economic centralization of this country. Local businesses are absorbed by regional ones, which get bought by national ones, which get taken over by global ones. While supposedly delivering benefits from economic efficiency, this process limits innovation and competition while depriving communities of the benefits of ownership and exacerbating regional inequality.
Yet a glance at the writing on the rural-urban divide suggests that most of the people thinking about these things haven't read their Santayana or even looked out the window recently. In Commonwealth magazine, Larry DiCara and Matt Waskiewicz suggested buying more food from Massachusetts' farms, sending more urbanites to western Massachusetts as tourists, and establishing regular rail service between Boston and Springfield so people from the former can go live in the latter but continue to commute.
There's nothing particularly bad about any of these ideas in and of themselves, but they have a glaring flaw as a solution to rural economic woes: They wouldn't work. Vermont, upstate New York, northern New Hampshire, and Maine have been promoting themselves as tourism, agriculture, and bedroom communities for decades, to no avail (except coastal southern Maine, which is close enough to Boston to serve as a suburban bedroom community). The fact is, increases in agricultural productivity would mean that more purchases from in-state farms wouldn't necessarily result in more jobs. Tourism-related jobs are seasonal, low paying and dead end.
Becoming a suburb is a similar dead-end economic strategy: The impact of comparatively wealthy Boston renters and buyers on the Springfield market would likely be catastrophic for Springfield natives. According to Governing, in 2012, 61.2 percent of renting households paid more than 30 percent of their income in rent and are considered cost burdened. According to Zillow (and it must be remembered that their data comes from people using their service), the median home price in Springfield is $139,900 and the median rent is $1,325. In Boston, the median home price is around $670,000 and the rent is $2,800—and fewer households are considered cost burdened, according to Governing. Springfield becoming a suburb of Boston would just move Boston's gentrification and displacement issues west.
Another idea was recently offered by Ross Douthat in his New York Times column, arguing that "We should treat liberal cities the way liberals treat corporate monopolies—not as growth enhancing assets, but as trusts that concentrate wealth and power and conspire against the public good." Douthat advocates redistributing federal agencies, universities, non-profits and businesses to the "poorer states and smaller cities that need revitalization" using a combination of confiscatory taxes with business credits. Unlike DiCara and Waskiewicz's ideas, which were not bad in and of themselves, but would not produce the effect desired, Douthat's could inadvertently lead to an economic death spiral.
If simply redistributing wealth and factories could make poor states wealthy and revive declining cities, one would expect it to have happened already. Poor, rural states have been heavily subsidized for decades, through agricultural-price supports, pork-barrel projects, military bases and other federal-works projects. But an economy is not simply a collection of discrete elements that can be rearranged at will, like furniture in a house. If that was the way things worked, the Soviet Union would still be around.
In Britain, central planners in the years after World War II thought along the same lines as Douthat. The Midlands city of Birmingham was a major industrial center, but it was more like Silicon Valley than Detroit. An ecosystem of small-industrial enterprises developed where new ones were constantly being started. Successful ones would, it is true, transplant themselves outside the city.
But after the war the planners looked at Birmingham's 200-odd years of small business creation and forced businesses and people to move to poorer places and cities in need of revitalization. But all those small firms needed each other to survive. Birmingham was left dependent upon the automotive industry, which then collapsed in the 1970s.
To address the problem of the rural-urban divide, we have to understand what drives it. Why can some coastal cities seemingly do no wrong, while interior cities can't seem to do anything right? Why do people and businesses pay huge amounts of money and endure massive tax bills, long commutes, a high cost of living, and the Yankees to crowd into the New York City area when they could move to places like Kansas—where land, taxes, food. and labor costs are cheap and the freeways empty?
Every New Urbanist has read Jane Jacobs' The Death and Life of Great American Cities, but few have read the books she wrote afterwards: The Economy of Cities and Cities and the Wealth of Nations. In these two books she argued that the first cities did not simply grow out of early farming villages, but have unique economic characteristics of their own. According to Jacobs, the driving forces of a city economy are trade and a process she called import replacement, where goods imported into the city are first copied and then improved upon by entrepreneurs, who proceed to export to other cities and settlements in order to acquire more imports. The process also helps develop the symbiotic ecosystem of flexible small producers that makes starting entirely new enterprises possible. In Cities and the Wealth of Nations she explored the implications of city economies for national economies, concluding that cities and the regions they generate are the drivers of all national development.
Even if one is skeptical of the import-replacement theory, economists like Ed Glaeser have demonstrated that clustering and startup rates play a huge role in economic growth. Or just remember Chakrabarti's statistic: 90 percent of U.S. GDP comes from the three percent of land in metros. According to the American Enterprise Institute, in 2015 New York had a larger economy than Canada and the 20 largest metros produced twice the GDP of Japan.
What this means, according to Jacobs, is that rural places and regions experience real economic growth only insofar as they are connected to city economies. The distance doesn't matter—farmers in Massachusetts can send their produce to restaurants in Boston or supermarkets in China. Cut off from city economies, a rural place will eventually decline into subsistence agriculture, losing the memory of many technologies. Then comes near hunter-gatherer status as subsistence exhausts the soil and results in bringing marginal land into production.
Even when connected to city economies, rural places can become economically unbalanced if they are outside city regions. Jacobs wrote that import replacement in cities "unleashes five great economic forces of expansion: city markets for new and different imports; abruptly increased city jobs; technology for increasing rural production and productivity; transplanted city work; city-generated capital." But these can affect rural places separately and with catastrophic results. Changes in city markets can leave rural communities producing commodities no one wants; increases in city jobs can just depopulate rural places; increased productivity can result in massive unemployment; the arrival of transplanted businesses from cities can make rural places overly dependent upon one type of work; and city capital transferred to rural areas can subsidize them, but only for as long as the subsidies can be maintained.
All these forces are at work across the country today. Young people able to go to college leave because they can't get jobs at home. Often there are just one or two factories left and people anxiously watch the news for signs of the future while local farmers meet with their member of Congress about price supports for their crops. To make matters worse, cities already are not producing enough work for their own residents, much less enough companies that can transplant their work. More worryingly, new business creation is at a 40-year low, according to CNN, which could indicate that time is running short, even for currently successful cities.
The best way to save rural places is to reactivate our cities, not destroy them.
I wonder how trade deals factor into this? If a company that would have transplanted part of its business to Kansas instead transplants it to Mexico, then Kansas loses out. A similar effect would be at work with supply regions, as well.
So would one fix be to drastically upzone cities so that rents can fall and more people can move to them?
I feel like in this scenario the end game would be a hollowing out of the country side like in Japan, and given the way the electoral college functions a furthering of rural-urban confrontation in our politics?
Here as always, when New Urbanists want to make the cities look good, they include the suburbs in the "metro" to make for good economic numbers, and contrast them with the rural regions. When they want to make the suburbs look bad (always with respect to the shallow entertainment that passes in the cities for culture), they lump them with the rural regions. They have to: most of the healthy and durable growth is in the suburbs, and New Urbanism is all about killing the suburbs to save the cities.
One observation: The category of "Rural" is too broad.
Tiny towns less than 1000 population have NEVER held up, even before mechanized agriculture and cars and so on. They always died faster than they grew.
But towns in the 1K-50K range used to hold their own, even in the mechanized era. They started dying in 1970, simultaneous with the move toward globalism and financialism and totalitarian central government.
When the only skill that matters is manipulating stock values, only cities that attract manipulators can survive.
Relying upon "free markets" to be self correcting is like turning the steering wheel loose in a spin to let the car correct itself.
Not so sure about that. Bostonian gentrifiers moving to Springfield move actually alleviate to some exttent "displacement issues" in the Boston area. And gentrifiers moving to Springfield would do more than merely crate "displacement issues" in Springfield. That would also mean more tax dollars, to pay for civic needs and ammenities. And it would bring in more money to the community generally..stores and restaurants and yoga studios and so on. It would mean an upper middle class that could subsidize to some degree social services for the poor.
Not seeing, at all, why Springfield remaining a city of almost exclusively poor people is such a great thing.
Wow, you really missed the boat on what drives the divide. People endure the downsides of city living because they want culture and amenities. Living somewhere quiet and cheap may be okay for awhile, but it gets boring, especially if you're a youngster.
All these articles concerning our reduced standard of living are very interesting for those of us old enough to have experienced post WW 2 demand for goods and services. Then several recessions some mild some more extreme. My generation also experienced so called globalization that was introduced not as globalization but as the encouragement of trade treaties, then globalization offering inexpensive labor for multinationals with no benefit cost. Now we experience like taking a drug the side effects.
First rate – thank you. We will not enhance our economy or improve the lives of people in either the rural areas or the city areas by seeing them as locked into a zero sum competition. To the degree that our politics requires, and therefore fosters, rural resentment, we contribute to the disinclination of rural people to think smartly about themselves and their economic futures.
Something was alluded to in this piece that deserves more attention: mergers, buy-outs, consolidation and monopolies.
These are some of the biggest reasons why small towns have imploded and so many of the new jobs are subsistence McJobs.
When companies can buy the competition, there's no need for innovation. And by using their market power they can crush new competitors, and if the crushing fails, they simply buy them out.
For example, local banks have largely disappeared, as one back after another got swallowed. When the local bank is gone, the mid-level jobs go, and the local focus goes away. All the profits and jobs become concentrated in some Central City somewhere. And I just love how people want to blame that on Dodd-Frank – the horse had already left the barn on that one.
These are issues the Federal Government stopped caring about during the Reagan years. Because for a certain sort of person, the free market can never make mistakes and must ever never be regulated.
We have agricultural subsidies because steady grocery prices are good politics. Our political class noticed a century ago that social and political upheavals tended to be associated with food shortages. Our ag subsidy regime is calculated to produce a cheap and plentiful food supply. While urban politicians like to complain about the cost of such subsidies for the benefit of their city constituents, it's unlikely that they would voluntarily give up the power which such subsidies give the (urban-dominated) federal government over rural communities.
The demise of the American small town started not too long after several decades of city-killing (some of it intentional) motivated, in large part, by animus to blacks.
I was born in a large city – Chicago but moved to a smaller town – Rockford, Ill when I was 11 years old. I knew there was no way I would stay there because even for an 11 y/o it was boring. There were no great museums, beach, active theater, concerts, artistic endeavors, etc. Rockford was done in by the decline of American manufacturing and the city fathers didn't know what industries to replace them with until it was too late. There needs to be constant innovation otherwise towns die.

LA Times review of IED show on Discovery/Times
Simple, deadly terror of IEDs 'Mission Ops': a scary look at improvised explosive devices and terrorism. By Tony Perry, Times Staff Writer For a frightening assessment of the Iraq war, and of the chances that terrorist violence could erupt in the United States, it's hard to beat "Mission Ops: Assignment IEDs" on the Discovery Times Channel. Terrorism expert Peter Bergen traces the development of the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that have become the weapon of choice of insurgents in killing American troops and Iraqi civilians. Such roadside bombs — easy and cheap to make — are a deadly equalizer between a modern military and an ad hoc force of jihadists, supra-nationalists and others. To press his case, Bergen rallies explosive experts and video clips of IED attacks in Iraq (often posted on insurgent-friendly websites), and he walks through Manhattan to suggest that the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were only the beginning. The presentation may be a bit breathless but the message, serious and well-reported, is worth the jazziness. IEDs, by different names, have long been used by guerrillas and outnumbered forces. The documentary mentions the Shining Path rebels in Peru, the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka and the Irish Republican Army. Others have pointed to their use by the Confederate Army to slow Sherman 's march to the sea. Whatever the name, there is little dispute, as Bergen notes, that the insurgents in Iraq have perfected their use "to an unprecedented level" by making ever smaller and more damaging versions and concocting more complex sequences of explosions. The United States has spent billions on anti-IED technology and personal protective gear, but IEDs still kill more American troops than any other weapon. Many of the explosives come from the enormous stockpiles left by Saddam Hussein. The U.S. was slow to secure all the caches and looting was rampant. For detonators, egg timers and cellphones are popular. "That's all it is: simple household devices used for the wrong purposes," says retired Army explosive specialist Brian Doyne, who lost an eye and a hand in an IED attack. "Mission Ops" says that, having learned the IED trade in Iraq, insurgents are now flocking to Afghanistan to kill Western troops there. On the issue of whether there are sleeper cells in the U.S. ready to begin a terror campaign, Bergen says it's highly possible. If there is a ray of light in Bergen's report — and admittedly the ray is milky and heavily hidden — it is that the technology developed for Iraq and Afghanistan may help the U.S. to detect and deter IED attacks here. Think of it as a mini-version of the Cold War arms race. "The IED bombers of the world are not sitting still," says Bergen, as he strolls near New York's Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. tony.perry@latimes.com "Mission Ops: Assignments IEDs' Where: Discovery Times Channel When: 7 and 10 tonight Rating: TV-PG (may be unsuitable for young children)

DOWNEY, Calif. (March 27, 2018) – Downey Theatre closes its 2017-2018 Season SARA EVANS on Sunday, April 22, at 7:00pm. The evening will feature special guests TEMECULA ROAD performing the opening set.
SARA EVANS has had five #1 singles, sold millions of records, won the Academy of Country Music's Top Female Vocalist Award, and claimed a Country Music Association trophy for her signature song, "Born To Fly." It's tough to imagine many accomplishments she hasn't already checked off her bucket list.
And yet, with the release of her eighth studio album Words, SARA EVANS demonstrates that she's still willing to leap into the unknown, taking greater control of her career and calling the shots in a way that's unusual in country music – particularly unusual for a woman in the genre.
Called by The Huffington Post one of the top new country artists to watch, and named after the town they grew up in, TEMECULA ROAD is comprised of sisters Emma and Maddie Salute, and longtime friend Dawson Anderson. They are known for their trademark harmonies and covers, which have earned praise from Carrie Underwood, Brett Eldredge, Dan + Shay, and RaeLynn.
These days, it's their original songs that are putting them on the map. Their first two singles "What If I Kissed You" and "Hoping" already have over 1MM streams on Spotify, and the trio just released their new single "Everything Without You." On the touring side, TEMECULA ROAD has opened for Martina McBride, Josh Turner, Joe Nichols, Easton Corbin, Lee Brice, Sara Evans, Kenny Rogers, and Eli Young Band.
Words is the first project on Evans' own label: Born To Fly Records, appropriately named after that CMA-winning signature song, which celebrated risk and adventure. Much is familiar about Words.Evans' voice is warm and strong, the songs are authentic and memorable, and the actual words themselves resonate with the realities of everyday life.
But the album was an eye-opening experience for Evans as a creative force. As the head of her own small, flexible company, she was able to take a streamlined approach to building it. Instead of subjecting the music to multiple departments, each with their own view of one part of her career, Evans approached it with an instinctual, gut-level focus on making a project that represents the current version of Sara Evans.
"The only thing I had on my mind with this album was just Grammy-level songs and the coolest music that I can find," she says. "I didn't really go about it in any other way. I wasn't catering to any part of the business. There was never a thought in my head of, 'Will this work on country radio?' So what has happened with the music is that it is still very much Sara Evans music. It's just a little bit deeper than I've gone in the past." For a woman who always tackled the music her own way, the new album is 100% her own.
"A Little Bit Stronger," Evans' pensive, heartbreak anthem that spent two weeks at #1 represents a look at the journey thus far, one that's kept her firmly in the forefront of country music for a solid 20 years. Born and raised in Boonville, Missouri, Sara grew up listening – like much of her audience – to a mix of country, pop, and rock on the radio. She began singing with the family band when she was five and made her first attempts at recording as a teenager, committing to a creative path with her move to Nashville in 1991.

U.S. AI Priorities Gleaned from Biden SciTech Appointees
By Elizabeth Wallace | February 1, 2021 with 0 Comments
The social impact of AI, both negative and positive, will likely play an essential role in how the U.S. government approaches the new tech for the next four years.
President Biden hasn't made it clear just yet what his administration's AI priorities will be. However, we can make some pretty good predictions based on early movements within the White House. The people he has chosen to fill key positions will direct science and technology strategies. So, let's look at what the power shift might mean for the future of AI.
See also: Many Artificial Intelligence Initiatives Included in the NDAA
Geopolitical focus versus scientific innovation
Trump's lack of funding for non-military applications was a sore point for the administration. One of Biden's early movements was to elevate the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to a cabinet-level position. That suggests he could be building a new era of scientific research and development, of which AI priorities would likely be elevated.
For the Trump administration, artificial intelligence dominance was vital from a geopolitical standpoint. The president and other party members worried about China's increasing power in the artificial intelligence space. Biden's main concern, based on what little we've heard, suggests that it's China's increase spending in R&D that worries Biden more.
Ethics concerns could drive AI priorities
Biden spent almost no time talking about artificial intelligence on the campaign trail, focusing instead on hot button issues like COVID-19 and systemic racism. However, with Biden's new appointment to the OSTP deputy director, sociologist Alondra Nelson, could be gearing up to apply AI's promise to these issues.
Her appointment also suggests a greater focus on examining the long term repercussions of using AI to fill hiring gaps, for example, or predicting recidivism. Both areas provide spectacular failures based on flawed algorithms that, for example, prioritized men over women in the first case.
This doesn't mean China is off the radar. Biden's secretary of state made illusions to China's "techno autocracy" during his confirmation hearing. Also, while he never mentioned the country specifically, the new president's remarks suggest China's increasing dominance in the technology space is as troublesome to the new administration as it was to the previous.
We're going to have to wait
We may not get specifics for a little while yet. The new administration has pressing concerns challenging it to make decisions right now, but artificial intelligence isn't on that docket just yet. However, it's starting to look as if the social effects of AI, both negative and positive, will play an essential role in setting AI priorities and how the U.S. government approaches the new tech for the next four years.

Religion is a powerful and dynamic force, influencing and shaping the world in which we live in diverse and complex ways. In the Department of Religion at Kalamazoo College, students learn about what it means to define religion as a field of inquiry. We offer traditions-based courses in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, other religions of South and East Asia, and religious traditions in the Americas. We also offer courses on particular questions and methods, including religion and science, sexuality studies, women and feminist studies, material culture, transnationalism, and commodification. In all of our courses and in our own areas of research, we are committed to investigations of religion and religious experiences from a variety of angles, including questions of theology, history, linguistics, sociology, anthropology, texts, and philosophy. We examine religion in a comparative context, recognizing that religion reflects and is braided throughout economic, cultural, and political dimensions of human experience. The study of religion is challenging and invigorating because of the intersections and exchanges that unfold across different disciplines, traditions, and faith commitments.

Scandinavian, German, and English: topographic name for someone who lived by a grove, Old Norse lundr; the word was adopted into northern dialects of Middle English and also into Anglo-Norman French. There are a number of places in England named with this word, as for example Lund in Lancashire, East Yorkshire, and North Yorkshire, Lunt in Merseyside, and Lound in Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Suffolk, and the surname may derive from any of these. The Swedish surname is probably more usually ornamental. When surnames became obligatory in Sweden in the 19th century, this was one of the most popular among the many terms denoting features of the natural landscape which were adopted as surnames, usually compounded with some other such term.

Citizens Bank Park, PA- This one was all Nats from the start of the game. Philadelphia Phillies pitching could not limit walks and quiet the bats of the eager Washington Nationals; that is the story of this game. In the first, they put a three spot on the board and never looked back.
All players in the starting lineup- excluding Wilmer Difo- filled up the box score and put the Phillies out of competition by mid-game. In the fourth inning, the club had already put up seven runs and were digging into the opposing team's bullpen.
More important than runs, the bullpen managed to follow in Jeremy Hellickson's marvelous outing (which also happened to be his first start on the season) by giving up only one run. As it is well documented, the Nationals bullpen has been one of the worst in the league this season. New year, same problems. With a simple eye test, the National League East will be more competitive than in years past. Clearly things can change- take the New York Mets hot start of the 2018 season for example- but the Nationals need to stay in close distance of all these teams, to avoid a repeat of last year. And that means limiting damage once the starting pitcher exits the game.
They won this one 15-1, ending with Trevor Rosenthal on the mound. He recorded his first out tonight, which he was not able to do in his previous nine innings of work. The Phillies managed to get one on the board in his appearance as he was still visibly in his head the entire outing, but knowing he has outs recorded has to be a step in the right direction!
Nats look to start the series with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. If healthy enough to go, Max Scherzer will start in that game (got hit in the ankle on Saturday's affair [nothing severe reported]). 7:05pm EST on 4/12 at Nationals Park with a Juan Soto bobblehead promotion.


You cannot really consider a house if it does not have a roof, thus proving the importance of roofs. As your roof does a very important job of blocking out the outside elements, you need to make sure that it is well maintained at all times. However, you should know that maintaining or repairing your roof is never an easy task. Fortunately, there are roofing contractors that will be more than willing to help you out. Not only that, but these roofing contractors can provide you with lots and lots of great benefits. Before you hire a roofing contractor, you might first want to know some of the best benefits that they can provide. This article is going to take you through the greatest benefits that roofing contractors can provide. These are the benefits that you will receive from hiring roofing contractors.
For one thing, roofing contractors have great knowledge and experience. Knowledge and experience is actually needed in order to properly know how to repair or maintain a roof. Without knowledge and experience, you could be causing further damage to the roof. Your roof will be repaired and maintained in the best way if you hire roofing contractors and make them use their great knowledge and experience. So this is benefit number one that you will receive from roofing contractors.
For another thing, roofing contractors are sure to provide great safety. It can be dangerous whenever you try to do your own roof repair or maintenance because this is actually not a safe job. It is common for people to fall off their roofs when doing the repair or maintaining it by themselves. You can be sure that safety is provided when roofing contractors do the job because they know all the safety measures and precautions when up in a roof doing a repair or maintenance job. So safety is another one of the best benefits that roofing contractors can provide.
The third and final benefit to roofing contractors that we will mention here is that they can provide you with convenience. You will actually face many different inconveniences if you try doing your own roofing jobs. What kinds of inconveniences will you face? Finding time and energy is one, as well as checking for the problem and then actually repairing or maintaining it. But you will be able to experience convenience when you hire roofing contractors because of the simple fact that they will do the job for you, from beginning to end. So this is benefit number three that you will receive from roofing contractors; just because it is the last benefit that we mentioned in no way means it is the least of the benefits that you will be able to receive and enjoy.

Okay. I think I would start my answer by considering two imaginary shopping lists! These highly simplified shopping lists can demonstrate something rather important!
Now these are two diifferent shopping lists from two different people - but they still have a lot in common. They agree in all essentials, but Bill loves his steak and french fries so they head his list, but he has not mentioned lettuce because he assumed it. Jane wanted to put salad vegetables down first because she loves them. So, if you like, Bill's is written from a man's perspective but Jane's is written much more from a female perspective; Jane's list also reverses the order of her husband's list!
Now let us just briefly check out the structures of the two genealogies found in Matthew 1:1-16 and in Luke 3:23-37.
The two lists obviously differ. Matthew begins with Abraham (the father of the Jews) and traces it from there forwards to the time of Jesus, while Luke traces the line in reverse order going back to Adam showing Jesus' relationship to the whole human race. From Abraham to David the two genealogies are almost the same but from the time of David the two genealogies differ in a second manner. Why? Because Matthew follows the line of Joseph (being the legal father of Jesus) while Luke emphasises the line of Mary (being Jesus' blood relative). It was unusual to trace the line through the mother, but so was the virgin birth unusual!
It is not surprising that Matthew stuck to a more orthodox approach while Luke was a little more enterprising because Matthew was always very respectful of the Jewish traditions whereas Luke (who also wrote the Book of Acts) seemed to have a stronger grasp that 'all things become new in Christ'! But we must not forget that Matthew primarily addressed his gospel to Greek-speaking Jews whom he wanted to persuade about the gospel of Christ.
So the two lists vary because Luke was more interested in the family line of Mary. His list could, therefore, be said to have been written from a more female perspective, whereas the list of Matthew was strongly respectful of Jewish patriarchal tradition, but just like the shopping lists of Bill and Jane all the main ingredients are there, and if anything (or anybody) has been left out, the lists are so comprehensive that it would hardly matter. We must understand that thousands of scribes and commentators have gone over these genealogies yet never found any serious problem with them.
Well, as we have seen, Luke's genealogy concentrates on Mary's family; Luke 3:23 mentions Joseph as 'the son of Heli' (NIV), actually he was his son-in-law.
God inspired these two lists to be slightly different just as all the gospels are slightly different because of the strong biblical teaching of witness! Everything was to be established by the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses!! (Deuteronomy 19:15; Matthew 18:16; Acts 1:8; Revelation 11:3).
If everything matched in every single detail in these genealogies and in the four gospels, the vital concept of witness would be lost! No group of witnesses to any event ever agree in every single detail. If every New Testament account was totally identical people would have shouted, Plot!! And yet it remains the case that every single account is accurate - but often from differing perspectives.
All of this is what is known as 'the double inspiration of Scripture' - the words of the Bible were certainly wrtten under divine inspiration but God also decreed that the human authors should write in their own individual styles.
I have been a student of the Bible for 45 years but never yet found a real contradiction!

Home » Tournament in Focus » - English Premier League » 5 young players who can make big money move this summer
5 young players who can make big money move this summer
Posted by: Wasi Manazir June 7, 2017
Moussa Dembele
The French youngster enjoyed a splendid season in Scottish football as he scored 32 goals and provided nine assists in 48 games for Celtic to help them to a domestic treble of the Premiership, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish League Cup. No wonder than that he is a hot property this summer transfer window.
Premier League champions Chelsea have shown interest in the youngster and so have Borussia Dortmund of the Bundesliga. He has also been linked with a move to AC Milan in Italy but if Chelsea loosen their purse strings, Dembele is likely to be at Stamford Bridge next season.
Renato Sanches
Sanches did a star turn last summer at the European Championship and it seemed a coup that Bayern Munich had scooped him earlier than most clubs got a good look at his prodigious talent. But his inaugural season in the Bundesliga didn't go according to plan as he was reduced to just 17 appearances in the league and most of them coming off the bench.
Manchester United appear interested in taking advantage of Sanches' situation as they have been linked with the Portuguese for a possible move. Working with compatriot Jose Mourinho will surely be a prospect worth exploring for the youngster.
The Monaco youngster has been one of the revelations of last season as he helped the principality outfit to an unlikely league title win and played a pivotal part in their Champions League semi-final run. Mbappe's rising stock has several clubs interesting in signing him and among the leading contenders are Arsenal.
The Gunners' failure to qualify for the Champions League will hurt their chances in prising away the youngster but the Londoners are probably basing their optimism on manager Arsene Wenger's charisma.
Marquinhos
Manchester United finished a lowly sixth in the Premier League but the Europa League triumph and with it their passage to the Champions League rescued their season and also put them in a strong position to bring in quality players — not that a lack of Champions League football had hampered them earlier, cue Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba's signings last summer.
Marquinho, 23, is one of the highly regarded young defenders in Europe and has previously been linked with Barcelona but now that Catalans look settled with the acquisition of Samuel Umtiti last summer, the Brazilian is likely on his way to Old Trafford.
Hector Bellerin
If there is one position Barcelona's new manager Ernesto Valverde needs to strengthen it is right-back. Sergi Roberto did a commendable job in the unfamiliar position last term but he is not a permanent solution for the Catalans. And Valverde seems to have already figured his target: Hector Bellerin.
Arda Turan has long been linked with a move to Arsenal and a swap deal is mooted but Arsenal will surely be looking for cash as well. The deal makes perfect sense for Barcelona as Turan hasn't managed to impress and Bellerin looks a great talent. But it remains to be seen if Arsenal too find value in the deal.
These five young players can possibly become the best in their position in years to come and it is quite likely that these Premier League giants would want to wrap up these world class talents at a comparatively cheaper price.

Filed April 19, 1886.
C. H. Gatch, for plaintiff in error.
George Crane, for defendant in error.
WAITE, C. J.
This suit was brought in a state court of Iowa by Edward K. Goodnow, a citizen of New York, against Elizabeth T. Oakley, another citizen of the same state, to recover an amount claimed to be due for taxes paid by the Iowa Homestead Company and the Dubuque & Sioux City Railroad Company, both Iowa corporations, on lands belonging to the defendant. Before the suit was begun the two corporations assigned their respective claims to Goodnow, under an agreement by which he was 'to use or exercise reasonable care or diligence to enforce said claims, demands, or rights of action, and, after deducting all costs and expenses in so doing, to hold the proceeds or amounts collected in trust for the use and benefit of the parties owning.' A copy of this agreement was annexed to the petition as an exhibit. On the sixteenth of December, 1880, which was in time, the defendant presented her petition for a removal of the suit to the circuit court of the United States for the district of Iowa, on the ground that Goodnow 'is only a nominal party to said suit, and has no interest therein whatsoever, but is prosecuting the same for the sole and exclusive use and benefit of the Iowa Homestead Company and Dubuque & Sioux City Railroad Company, which were, at the commencement of this suit, and still are, corporations created and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the state of Iowa, each having its principal place of business in said state of Iowa, which said railroad and homestead companies directed the commencement of said suit, employed counsel to prosecute the same, and are directing and controlling its prosecution.' The state court proceeded with the suit notwithstanding the petition for removal, and gave judgment against the defendant. This judgment was affirmed by the supreme court of the state on an appeal, that court being of opinion that the suit had not been removed. To reverse that judgment this writ of error was brought, and Goodnow now moves to dismiss for want of jurisdiction, and with that he unites a motion to affirm.
The motion to dismiss must be denied, because a right of removal under the act of March 3, 1875, (18 St. 470, c. 137,) was claimed by the defendant, and the decision was against the right. This presents a federal question, and gives us jurisdiction, but as the decision was in accordance with our judgment in Provident Sav. Soc. v. Ford, 114 U. S. 635, S. C. 5 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1104, the motion to affirm is granted. In that case it was said, (page 641:) 'We know of no instance where the want of consideration in a transfer, or a colorable transfer of a right of action from a person against whom the defendant would have a right of removal to a person against whom he would not have such a right has been held a good ground for removing a cause from a state court to a federal court. Where an assignment of a cause of action is colorably made for the purpose of giving jurisdiction to the United States court, section 5 of the act of congress of March 3, 1875, * * * has now given to the circuit courts power to dismiss or remand the cause at any time when the fact is made to appear; and, by analogy to this law, it may perhaps be a good defense to an action in a state court to show that a colorable assignment has been made to deprive the United States court of jurisdiction; but, as before said, it would be a defense to the action, and not a ground of removing that cause into the federal court.'
Our attention was called in the argument to the fact that in the present case it appears that the assignee 'is only a nominal party to said suit,' and that the assignor 'directed the commencement of the suit, employed counsel to prosecute the same, and is directing and controlling its prosecution,' while in the other it was only alleged that the assignment was 'merely colorable,' and that the plaintiff was 'not the real party in interest;' but the opinion in the other case (page 638) shows that it was further alleged that the assignment 'was made without any consideration, and merely for the purpose of prosecuting and collecting' the claim for the benefit of the assignor, 'and to avoid the necessity of' the assignor's 'giving security for costs as a non-resident of this state; and to embarrass, and, if possible, prevent the transfer of this action to the United States courts; and that the controversy * * * is in reality and in substance between the defendant' and the assignor, 'who are citizens of different states.' The two cases are thus substantially alike, and this is clerly governed by that. While, therefore, the courts of the United States have, under the act of 1875, the power to dismiss or remand a case, if it appears that a colorable assignment has been made for the purpose of imposing on their jurisdiction, no authority has as yet been given them to take jurisdiction of a case by removal from a state court when a colorable assignment has been made to prevent such a removal. Under the law as it now stands resort can only be had to the state courts for protection against the consequences of such an encroachment on the rights of a defendant.
The motion to dismiss is denied, and that to affirm granted.
S. C. 25 N. W. Rep. 912.

The first wave of digital data growth is coming from user-generated content made up of images and videos recorded by mobile devices and uploaded almost instantly onto social networks. The rise of cloud-based media storage services for private or shared usage has removed the limitation of electronic device storage capabilities. The frontier is limited only by the available capacity of cloud storage providers.
As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to gain momentum, digital data stores will be fed by billions of connected and smart devices. Sensors are acquiring information which is being processed by ultra-low power MCUs and uploaded via low-power wireless communication protocols and the Internet in an extremely integrated and cost-efficient manner. An IDC report published in Dec. 2012 projected that the digital data universe will reach 40 zettabytes (ZB) in 2020, a 50-fold growth over a 10-year period. This exponential increase requires massive investments in enterprise IT infrastructures and innovative solutions in hardware and software.
Moore's Law has been the guiding rule of the semiconductor industry for almost half of a century, and the steady growth of transistor density enabled improved processing capabilities. The memory industry wasn't able to keep pace and memory and storage became the performance bottleneck of advanced architectures.
Flash technology is based on storing and measuring numbers of electrons in the gate of a MOS transistor. At each new technology process node, the transistor and memory cell shrinks, resulting in fewer electrons. In today's current technology process nodes, there are barely enough electrons to maintain a sufficient charge sensing level to meet performance and reliability requirements.
To work around these limitations, complex algorithms have been integrated into memory controllers. In the nanoscale of flash technology, there are an increasing number of failed bits that require to be corrected to avoid missing pixels or, worse, missing a byte of code. The implementation of such sophisticated logic requires fast computing logic and DRAM buffering that introduce latencies and additional power consumption. Flash-based technology may have hit its scaling limit, while the demand for storage continues to grow exponentially.
Resistive RAM technology is based on the motion of discrete nano-particules under the influence of an electric field or heat, and the ability of the switching material to store these nanoparticles' distribution. The combination of the movement of nanoparticles, along with local structural changes in the switching material, changes resistance in a measurable way.
Figure 1: RRAM Technology – simple integration for low cost manufacturing.
The simplicity of the RRAM memory cell generally allows advanced scaling paths beyond flash memory's scaling limitations. The resistance switching mechanism actually improves when the technology scales. The ratio between the memory cell's resistance in its on-state and its off-state increases while the memory cell shrinks, giving strong promises about the longevity of such memory technology along the scaling path. RRAM memory cell characteristics enable interconnections in a crossbar array, providing ultra-high-density storage in a cost-competitive form factor.
Figure 2: RRAMs simplicity, stackability, and CMOS compatibility reduce costs.
RRAM technology can be based on three simple layers: a nonmetallic bottom electrode, an amorphous silicon switching medium, and a metallic top electrode. The resistance switching mechanism is based on the formation of a filament in the switching material when a voltage is applied between the two electrodes. The RAM can be manufactured at the back-end-of-line of any standard CMOS foundry with very limited additional costs.
Crossbar's RRAM technology has been highlighted as a potential candidate for next-generation storage technology. We have successfully developed a demonstration product in a commercial fab by manufacturing a fully integrated monolithic CMOS controller and RRAM array.
The steps we are taking right now lead toward mainstream adoption, including bringing our existing technology to a fab and migrating it to 55- and 40-nm nodes, which we are doing right now. Once that's completed we will start the embedded licensing business, as well as the standalone code and data business. In the next nine months we'll be ready for a qualification cycle and for accessing customer requirements.

"Hebron First" gathering calls to remove Jews from city.
Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein prevented a planned meeting at the Knesset that would have called for the removal of all Israeli citizens from Hebron. Organizers attempted to sidestep Knesset regulations that require conferences to be approved by the Knesset Speaker by defining the event as a gathering rather then a conference.
"Time after time, certain Members of Knesset try to act behind my back and that of the professional staff of the Knesset for cheap political gain. Lies are destined to be revealed," Edelstein said.
A backlash is growing against a planned meeting at the Knesset that calls for the Jewish community to be ousted from the city of Hebron. Three Members of Knesset, Ayman Odeh and Dov Khenin of the Joint List and Michal Rozin of Meretz have organized the "Hebron First" gathering, which will call for Hebron to be the first in a series of areas to have Jewish residents forcibly removed.
They believe that Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are an impediment to creating a Palestinian State and that Hebron Jews in particular are "extremists settlers" which have been "leading the government to enact a cruel segregation regime."
In response, Members of Knesset Moti Yogev of the Jewish Home party has called for the general public to register and participate in the event in order to show a pro-Hebron perspective.
MK Yogev stated, "who is buried in the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron for the past 3,800 years? Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah - the founding fathers and mothers of the Jewish people."
Yishai Fleisher, international spokesperson for the Jewish community of Hebron told JNS news, 'let's just call this gathering what it is: a plan to ethnically cleanse the tiny Jewish minority in Hebron and make it Judenrein... to evict our ethnic minority from the cradle of Jewish civilization in order to appease the jihad. This will only make further war against Israel and against decent Arabs who want to live in a free and diverse Jewish state."
The three MKs organizing the meeting have sought to circumvent Knesset rules by arranging it as a "gathering" as opposed to a "conference" which would necessitate the approval of the Knesset Speaker. The three MKs have invited Breaking the Silence and Peace Now to attend the gathering.
Fleisher commented, "it's obvious that the organizers are not in touch with the Israeli public, who visit Hebron to the tune of 700,00 visitors a year. Over 40,000 people came to Shabbat Chayei Sarah including several Knesset members and government ministers. Moreover, the Israeli government has just approved new construction in Hebron for the first time in 16 years."
Noam Arnon, Hebrew-language spokesperson for the Jewish community of Hebron added, "the roots of the Jewish people in the city of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs are deep. New discoveries at the Tel Hevron archaeological excavation reveal more and more historic Jewish layers." He compared the goals of the gathering to that of Haj Amin Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem who instigated riots against Jewish civilians in 1929.
In 1997 the Hebron was divided with 80% of the city going to the Palestinian Authority and 20% remaining under Israeli jurisdiction.
* New Record! 40,000 Visit Hebron for Shabbat Chayei Sarah!


Josepha Madigan TD, Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and the Lord Mayor of Dublin Councillor Nial Ring, have today opened 14 Henrietta Street in the City Centre. This important cultural, social, architectural heritage asset now opens a new chapter in its almost 270 year history. Henrietta Street in Dublin's North inner city is the most intact collection of early to mid-18th century houses in Ireland. From Georgian townhouse to Tenement dwelling, 14 Henrietta Street tells the story of the house and the lives of the people who lived there and how social change impacted on them over time.
Set in a Georgian townhouse, 14 Henrietta Street tells the story of the building's shifting fortunes, from family home and powerbase to courthouse; from barracks to its final incarnation as a tenement hall. From the grand aristocratic townhouse of the 1700s to the multi-unit occupancy that operated for 100 years up to the late 1970s. A building that went from initially housing one family of four, and their servants in 1755, to the Census count in 1911, when it housed almost 100 people from 17 families!
That juxtaposition and the crushing reality of the latter cohort are explored in the tours developed for the visitor to follow and absorb. The stories of the house and street mirror the story of Dublin and her citizens. Minister Madigan recognises the importance of exploring these stories today to inform our understanding of both how far we have progressed as a society over the last century, and some of the core areas where we still have more to do.
"This Government is delighted to be associated with this wonderful project. My Department made significant funding available to support its completion as one of the Permanent Reminder Projects as part of the Ireland 2016 Centenary Programme. It is most fitting that 14 Henrietta Street opens to the public in this, the European Year of Cultural Heritage. The theme of this campaign is 'Make a Connection' and 14 Henrietta Street succeeds in making a connection between today's visitor and those living in Dublin in earlier generations – from the Georgian period through the subsequent brutal and extended period of tenement living. I believe that people and communities are the custodians of our heritage and the unvarnished memories gathered as part of the 14 Henrietta Street project truly reflect that.
