I was at Berridge in the late 60s.
My father went to Pipewood camp and I have some photos of him there, and that would be the early 1940s. I'll post them if I can get them scanned.

I was at Berridge in the 70's and remember you Jill S -how are you?
My name is Chris Riley - anyone else out there remember me?
Christopher Riley, no less! Hello Christopher. I certainly remember you. I also remember your Mum. The last time I saw her was in Littlewoods in Nottingham many years ago. She told me you were then a DJ in Leicester, I believe?
You dad was in the army, I think? I certainly remember you keeping us all entertained at Berridge. All my school photos are on Friends Reunited now and I think you are on most of them.I am still in touch with Jane Humphreys and we often discuss Berridge Days.Let's have some of your Berridge Memories, I'd love to read them.
Does anyone remember the 'nit nurse' coming to Berridge. Lined up and she'd run a comb through your hair then dip it in a bowel of disinfectant and move to the next.

I remember this lady. She wore a blue overall, had dark hair and a swarthy complexion. A lady of very few words, rather serious looking. She always told me what beautiful curly hair I had (well you can see from the photo what it was like). I hated my hair (even more so when my mother stuck a large silky bow in it) but she thought it was something to be proud of. Wonder if she'd have been so proud the day I stuck my head in a box of sawdust...no, don't ask why! I must have thought it was a good idea at the time.
My poor mother went bananas and gave me a lot of misery with a fine-toothed comb trying to remove the wood shavings from my tight curls. Actually, I think most of it is probably still in there!
I do recall the smell of the disinfectant in her little dish. Fortunately, I never had headlice. Even when I was teaching and my pupils had them, they never bothered me. This may have something to do with the fact that my paternal grandfather was the only soldier in his unit during WW1 who was never bitten by lice or fleas, even though there were as many in his uniform as everyone else's. We don't taste nice, us Sparrows!

Hi all. Just found this site when looking up Pipewood camp where I spent 4 summers 1949/53. I was at Berridge during that period. I lived on Peverel St., where there were assorted shops and hosiery companies in those days.
I loved Pipewood. It was a wonderful escape from our house which was shared with an off license and with my bedroom overlooking the fire escape of a hosiery factory. Sounds like a glum place to live but the neighbours were respectable people in those days and life was OK.
The teachers I remember at Berridge were Mt Kendrick (woodwork), Mr (Buffalo) Cheeseman (science), Mr Jewitt (maths), Mr Roblin (all sorts), Mr Smith (head). Mr Wheatman (Tech drg) and Mr Pearce my form master who became the permanent head at Pipewood. The houses (billets) I remember at Pipewood were Hartsmere, Chetwynd, Brackenhurst and ? what was the other one?
I now live in Staffs and cycle past Pipewood occasionally. It looks so forlorn these days but the happy memories remain.

Thanks Lizie and Michael. My first memories about Berridge was the new boys initiation ceremony. I started in 1949 straight from Windley School (Forest Rd). Us newbies were told to 'run the gauntlet' or face a harsh penalty. the 'gauntlet' was the space between the woodwork shop and the iron railings on Berridge Rd. We were told to run through a double row of senior boys who thumped us on the head and shoulders. If you refused to do it they would stuff you in a dustbin and roll you down the sloping playground; a very painful experience when the dustbin handles crashed onto the tarmac. I only saw this happen once.
I often reflect on how the different teachers did their job. Mr Roblin put the fear of God into everyone and gave the strap daily. His strap was a custom jobbie with the two outer thongs removed. I remember 'Snake' Anderton being strapped so hard that both hands bled and swelled up. I can see him now sitting on the playground crying, on a cold Winters day, nursing his injured hands under his armpits. Roblin was a cruel man. Then there was 'Buffalo' Cheeseman the science master who was a kind man but the pupils wound him up so much to the point where he started charging up and down the science lab bellowing at everyone. The best teacher of all was Mr Pearce. He was a quiet man but had the gift of making lessons interesting and had no discipline issues. He was a step ahead of the wiseguys and didn't need to use the strap.
Classmates that I remember were Tony Dawkins, Paul Kreager, Trevor Davies, Albert Hurry, Bernard Lewis....a few more when I think about it.
PeverilPeril,
I enjoyed reading your post.You mention some of your classmates, including a Trevor Davies. Would that be Trevor Davys who lived in Grundy Street? He would be around your age and I knew the various members of his large family quite well. He also attended St Stephen's Church and sang in the choir. I played the organ there in the early 1980s and am still occasionally in touch with Trevor.
I must try to persuade him to contribute to Nottstalgia as I know he'd have some good memories to share. Not sure whether Trevor went to Peveril but I think he did.
Keep posting!
PeverilPeril, # 105
I wonder if the Paul Kreager you mention in your post is the same one who had a Ladies Fashion shop in Arnold in the early 70's.
LizzieM - It probably was Paul Kreagers shop. i know that he did well in business and lived in a large, walled house near Keyworth when we lived there.
Jill Sparrow - It would be the same Trevor Davys. He was my fishing pal. Be nice to talk to him again. I am still a keen fisherman.
Ok PP, I did know him a little bit and I think he may have had other shops around the area. He was a big blonde guy. Not seen him for many years.
Certainly sounds like the same chap. I will contact him and ask him to have a look at Nottstalgia. Trevor came from a large family, brothers, John, Barry and younger brother Andrew. Sisters Christine and Marilyn. His mother, Doris, was a lovely lady who I knew from childhood and a great friend of my mother. Trevor lived for a while in Franklin Gardens and now at Bramcote. Writes to me every Christmas. He became a teacher himself. I am sure he would love to renew his acquaintance with you.
Watch this space!!
Thanks Jill;. Trevor and I may well fish together again!
I left Berridge Xmas 53 which was the first year that the 15+ was offered where pupils could stay on for a year to take 'O' levels. It was a joke really and only 2 lads took the offer up. The rest of us had to start work and earn some housekeeping. I never took the 11+ due to illness but when I was 13 I was offered a place at Tech College because of my good exam marks. Like an idiot I ripped up the offer letter that I should have given to my parents. Realising my stupidity, at 14 I signed on for nightschool at the school on Carlton Hill, saying that I was 15 years old. True to type I continued to do stupid things with my education....

Pidge Pie...yes, Terry Hill. I've been trying to remember the name and it wouldn't surface. Poor Neville Eccles, that's horrible. He was a quiet lad, like Winsome. Yes, it makes you think when you see your peers shuffling off and realise that you're probably well over half way through your time here. It's not morbid...it's all part of life's rich tapestry and hopefully it won't put Stephen Ford off his lunch!
Terry Hill was a small lad- quite wiry- but not wiry enough to avoid the train.
I've been looking at the photo of Mrs Price's class and there is Charles Haskey on the back row. I didn't remember the name until I looked.
I went to the Berridge Centenary in 1984. The old place looked very much the same as it did when we were there. My Mum went as well because she was educated at Berridge Road Schools. I hoped to see Mr Baugh but was told he had passed away a few years earlier. Pity, I'd have liked to meet him again.
I did a bit of research re Mr Baugh and discovered that he'd been put on a ship to Canada (on his own) at the age of nine, to go and live with his grandmother. Presumably, he lost his mother when he was a child. I never really knew much about him but he probably didn't have a very easy life either. When you are children and you (probably) don't like your teachers very much, you don't stop to think that they are human too and have experienced their share of highs and lows. That realisation only comes with age and life itself teaches those lessons.
Well...that's enough philosophising for one day.
Keep the memories coming, Pidge Pie.
Jack Baugh was the head when I was at Berridge...a lovely gent..I think he lived on Ribblesdale Road in Sherwood..he used to be my Grandad Harry Cranes best friend and golfing partner...Some of the names I remember were Mrs Parrott and Mr Anderson..I was at the school from 69 to 73..then went on to Peveril..we lived on Birkin Avenue on the corner of Randle Street..
Nice to read your post, ceeaych.
Mr Baugh, as you say, was a true gentleman. I was very fond of him and, along with Messrs Chandler and Williams, owe him a great debt. I believe he did indeed live in Ribblesdale Road and I recall he drove a white Mini in the days when teachers generally couldn't afford to run cars.
I do recall that he was unpopular with some parents for showing favouritism toward pupils and I confess I was one of them but what teacher, if they are honest, doesn't have favourites?
I remember him as a person who was fond of history, poetry and great literature and these were all subjects which fascinated me.
He was a disciplinarian, of that there is no doubt, but as he always said, there can be no self discipline without discipline first being imposed on a child, by which he meant discipline of thought and behaviour. He knew that without this it was not possible to learn, nor to achieve.
I didn't know he was a golfer but I often think of him with fondness and it is a lasting regret that I was not able to thank him in person at the Berridge centenary for his encouragement and influence on my education.
I have been thinking about the other names mentioned by ceeaych. The name Mrs Parrott rings a bell...with a surname like mine, it should! However, I can't put a face to the name. She never taught me and may have arrived toward the end of my time at Berridge.
Mr Anderson I do recall. He first appeared with his wife around 1968. They seemed to drift around the school, working with groups. Mrs Anderson disappeared after a while but he remained. He was Scottish, small in stature, bespectacled and only seemed to possess one suit. For some reason I couldn't define, I didn't like him because he made me feel uncomfortable. It seems that he became a class teacher after I left in July 1969.
Going back to Mr Baugh,he didn't have much of a retirement as he died in 1980 in his 67th year. Seems rather unfair after a lifetime of hard work. He sometimes spoke about his son who, I presume, was his only child.

The Weyburn Co-operative Playschool will hold a fundraiser online auction as they try to offset the impact of the economic downturn on their operations.
The online auction will be held from Feb. 10-12, with a number of items donated by Weyburn and area businesses up for bid.
Donations came from the Weyburn Oilwomen, Watson Distributors and several local businesses, said Jenn Cugnet of the playschool board.
"With the downturn in the oil industry, we've felt the impact here so we're trying to offset that," she said, noting their enrolment numbers are down a bit.
A new program they are trying is an introduction to playschool for two-year-olds and their parents, so families can see if the playschool program is something that would be good for their children.
"It's a wonderful way for the community to support education and our playschool, and we look forward to partnering with businesses in the community as well," said Cugnet.
Interested parents can call the playschool or register on Facebook for their two-year-old to visit, with the sessions held every Friday morning from 9:30 to 11 a.m.
One of the features of the playschool the two-year-olds will get to try is the new Dark Den and coloured-light table, both of which were provided via donations. The Dark Den was bought with a donation by Baker Hughes, and most recently, the new light table was purchased with a donation of $420 by the YF Wives.
The light table uses coloured lights and is placed inside the Dark Den, which provides sensory play for the children at the Playschool.

At long last hope

Scientists discover the brain defect that causes women to talk so much. Now all we need is a bit of genetic modification and a blissful silence will settle or' the world. Faster, please.
Ah, eeew?
Tourist's naked body found decomposing in LA hotel's rooftop water tank. One guest who'd brushed her teeth in the stuff this morning told a reporter she was leaving for another hotel. Ordinarily I scoff at what I perceive to be oversensitive reactions to the ordinary events of life, but in this case I'd be just slightly ahead of that lady.
This just isn't that difficult
Problem: sequester cuts will affect TSA, which threatens three-hour security lines at airports in retaliation. Solution: abolish the security check first, then the TSA, then the entire Homeland Security Agency. Saving: billions upon billions. Net effect on safety? Zero.
Next problem? How's the Department of Agriculture working out? Energy? Education? I could go on.
UPDATE: here, thanks to reader ML, is an example of whose services we'd have to do without: TSA agents detain three-year-old in wheelchair, lie to her mother about the legality of filming them (it is) and confiscate the child's teddy bear to punish her parents for complaining.
UPDATE II: I forgot – yesterday morning I drove my daughter to Kennedy and, not seeing her airline at the terminal, she hopped out and approached a genuine TSA security guard. He was busy dozing, earphones in and leaning against a wall, but, stirred out of his somnolence by Sara's question as to where to find US Air, managed to mutter "I don't know", and returned to his nap. This is the man who is supposed to be keeping you and me safe. This man and all his coworkers should be returned to the welfare rolls from whence they came.
Land sale or residential?
30 Khakum Wood Road has sold for $3.252 million, 452 DOM, original list price $4.695. (That's about 69% of the asking price but watch the Greenwich Multiple Listing Service scootch it up to a more cheery-sounding ratio). It's two-acres and one old, smallish (3,600 sq.ft.) house in a prestigious neighborhood. I'm guessing that the house is destined for a dumpster dive and if so then you know what a 2-acre lot in Khakum Wood is worth these days. Of course, someone could be buying to downsize, so then you'll have to allocate some of the sale price to the building. Wait and see.
Can Obama really bring down the country in just eight years?
We're in safe hands?
He's certainly trying to, and watching him accelerate his efforts now, at the start of his second term, I'm beginning to fear that he really can do it.
Today his – our – Secretary of State gave his first official policy speech and devoted it to global warming. And it gets worse, assuming you prefer serious people handling our affairs of state:
[M] idway through the climate change section, Kerry paused. "Can we all say thank you and to our signers?" the secretary of state said referencing those who were translating his speech into sign language. (audience applause)
Persistent unemployment, ruinous debt, the Middle East on the verge of exploding, Obama ignores it all and is instead focused like a laser on global warming, unleashing his EPA on industry, shutting down the economy by executive fiat, and pushing a fool like Kerry onto the world stage. Coupled with his choice to dismantle our national defense, we're in danger of having our own leader do to us what our worst enemies couldn't accomplish in almost two hundred and fifty years of trying. Fear for our children.
Hell, fear for us.
And back for another try …
64 Howard Rd (nice grass, for February)
64 Howard Road has returned, still asking $2.695. The owner, a perky TV personality I remember from Bangor, Maine back in 1981 (and that has exactly nothing to do with anything), paid $2.775 for the place in 2004, so her attachment to this price is understandable, but after 724 days on the market it may be time to concede a little ground.
I did like this house when I saw it and I didn't think its price was unreasonable, but north eastern Greenwich has always been a tough sell, and Howard Road is about as far northeast as you can go in Greenwich without paying Stamford taxes. Which is to say, it's a long way from nowhere.

Contract on Dunwoodie and a new listing on Copper Beech
Plain vanilla on Dunwoodie Place
35 Dunwoodie Place has a contract, last asking price $2.195 (down from $2.495). It's a 1964 house that the tax card says was "effectively built" in 1975, which indicates a complete rebuild then. Sellers paid $2.125 in 2004 so assuming they did nothing significant to it during their ownership, and the listing reflects no such work, and assuming there was some negotiating off that final asking price, it appears that they're back to 2004 – we've been hanging around the 2003 level (or below) since 2009, so this may be indicative of a slight tick upward, or just an exception. Two acres.
And 17 Copper Beech, an old, renovated and expanded – 6,000 sq.ft now) carriage house is new, at $3.995. The owners paid $3.7 for it in 2003 and according to the listing did some renovating in 2008. Depending on how extensive that renovation was and how low you can work the price down, you could possibly buy this at its 2003 price and get lots of nice reno work tossed in for free. 1.5 acres, close to town, nice place.
Comments Off on Contract on Dunwoodie and a new listing on Copper Beech
New listing on Byfield
3 Byfield
Byfield is not a street that's commanded high prices in the past, but #3, new to the market today, asks $2.195, which is probably in the ballpark. Built in 1963, unspecified "renovations" performed in 2013 (which, since it's still just mid-February, was quick work). The house was bought for $1.8 million in 2011.
I don't think I ever saw this house when it was last for sale in 2008 (and continuing to 2011) because it started at $2.995 million, a figure so ridiculous that I never bothered to stop in. Those owners obviously got serious after three years and sold it. I'll be curious to see it tomorrow and check out what's been done to justify the $395,000 jump.
Experts: blame Catholics for Britain's horse meat scandal
My Friend Flicka: he's not what's for dinner anymore
Early Christian church leaders adopted Romans' view of eating horse meat (they were against it) and forbade it. No religious bias, no "scandal", just filler in the patties. My father told me that back in the 70s but then, he wasn't an expert.
27 Stillman Lane (no link to the listing because it has no useful information – "for reporting purposes only") one acre, has sold for $1.7 million. 22 Stillman sold in January, 2011, for $1.550, so assuming the land's roughly equivalent, that's what's happening to land values over there. Finished homes average $4.5ish, if you're doing the math.
And it's back
Never before seen in the annals of Greenwich house building!
85 Taconic road has returned to the market, asking $5.595 million. It sold for $5.850 in June, 2007, and that probably seemed like a bargain at the time because the builder had started off 470 days before at $6.995. I'm not so sure it was. To my jaundiced eye, the neo-shingle-style-Victorian-eclectic look grew tiresome when it first appeared around 2000, and now, 13 years later, the product looks like cookie-cutter clutter, spread throughout the mid and back country.
But that's just me – I presume buyers in this range still like them because builders are still building them and used ones still sell. If I remember this one, it was built on so-so land but is quite nice inside, if you like this sort of thing. What I do remember vividly is the aluminum dryer vent sticking out of a side wall, a cheap touch that jarred on a $6 million home. The new owners have probably fixed that and I mention it only to illustrate what can stick in the memory.
So there it is, and you can buy it. It does have a convenient location going for it and again, my sense of style in no way reflects the market; in fact, it's quite the other way around, and the more I like a house, the longer it takes to sell, generally. So take this review for exactly what it's worth (to steal a phrase from Baba Booey).
So here's a puzzlement: why hasn't this house sold?
10 Carissa Lane
10 Carissa Lane, up off Stanwich, is priced at $1,571,500 million – the sellers paid $1.770 for it in 2008. When I saw it at its first open house a month or so ago I thought it was fairly priced and offered good value for this price range and I hurried some of my clients into it because I feared it would sell before they had a chance to see it. It hasn't sold and both sets of my clients, although they saw the relative value, didn't bite.
Talking to other agents I learn that I'm not the only one who thinks this is a good one, yet so far, buyers disagree, and all that shows is that agents may have informed opinions but they no more control the market than they do the weather. A house is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, no matter what the owner or real estate agents may believe.
That conceded, I still maintain that I'm right and the market is wrong (!) The house was built in 1984, updated since, sits on a beautiful acre of land that abuts non-buildable nature conservancy property, is seven minutes from the Cos Cob train, has a Greenwich address that's assigned to the North Street Parkway, a reader corrects me – Central Middle schools, and despite being near the Merritt has no objectionable traffic noise, at least to my ears.
Would I change some things about it? Sure: I'd redo the kitchen (the baths are fine), remove the wall that greets you upon entering and get rid of the cheap trim (I know it's cheap because Pal Nancy and I used the same Rings End stuff when we did our house on a budget in the same year, 1984) and paint what's dark now with brighter colors. All in, maybe $35,000, if you buy a kitchen from Green Demolitions, $75,000 if you don't. It's shy a bathroom upstairs – the kids will have to share! – and I suspect that's what's turning buyers off, but hey: live with it.
It's not Riverside and if you must live in Riverside, then that's your problem. If you want an acre of living space and a perfectly decent home, this one's a good choice – again, your opinion may differ and it's your opinion that counts, not mine, but if you're looking in this price range and haven't seen this house, take a trip.
(And no, it's not my listing, it's Brian Tunney's, but Briney's pretty smart for an Irishman – a low hurdle, admittedly, but he's put an intelligent price on this home.)
Ridiculous price cut but then again …
70 Bedford Rd
After 272 days of trying to get an offer at $1.7 million, 70 Bedford Road cut its price today a full $5,000 and can now be yours for just $1,695,000 (we do the math for you here at FWIW, the full service blog). I was going to write a post on how stupid this was but when I pulled the listing I saw that this is on four acres of nice-looking land, has a pool, and a $1.920 million mortgage, so bank concessions might be available. All of that's enticing and perhaps that's exactly the point in recording a token price change – it brings the property back to the attention of brokers. Check it out – if you can live with being on the western edge of town, close to Rt. 684 and under the flight path, this appears to be a lot of house for what passes in Greenwich as not a lot of money.
Not everyone wants to live in Riverside, thank God.
Proof that working for the government lowers your IQ
Jews are pretty smart, right? So how can municipal workers in Tel Aviv paint a handicapped parking space around a car and then tow it?
[T] he city has since apologized and admitted this was a case of "incompetence."
They say incompetence, I say it's the direct, inevitable result when ordinary humans join the municipal workforce and surrender their brains to their employer.

From Obama's home state, Democratic voting practices Chicago Style
I didn' steal notin'. I just seen my opportunities and I took 'em.
Democrat poll worker Melowese Richardson has admitted voting twice for her man because "I wanted my vote to count", and it now looks as though she's got four more votes to her record. A poll worker's job, presumably, is to monitor the polls and make sure that everyone casts one, and only one ballot. And it's not just six votes: if the lady shows such contempt for the "one man, one vote" principle in her own voting, how many more fraudulent voters did she usher past her booth? When Democrats denounce attempts to combat voter fraud as "racist", they really mean that enforcement of the law would prevent Melowese and her friends from voting as often as they'd like to. And where would Democrats be then?
Why not stop raiding highway revenues before installing tolls?
No pol here
Connecticut, like many states, is moaning over lack of money to repair its roads and the Hartford Yahoos want to bring back tolls to fund the "General Transportation Fund's coffers. As usual, the GT/Courant's report on the issue ignores the real issue, which is the diversion of fuel tax revenues to social redistribution projects like welfare and pet projects in legislators' home districts. This year, only half the money collected from gasoline taxes is put into the fund and that's actually an improvement: most years, for decades, the huge bulk of the money (75%, often), never sees pavement. Now they cry poverty.
Here's the deal: giving money to politicians only guarantees that they'll spend three times what they get their hands on. The gasoline tax won't drop (see article above: "we can't afford to") and the toll revenue won't go to repair bridges – history proves it. Hartford's been raiding the highway fund since it was first created and it doesn't spend the money for its purported justification, roads, because no politician in the history of the world has ever been photographed by the press in front of a bridge-painting crew. It's new welfare clinics and free housing projects that accomplish that minor miracle, so that's what's done with it.
As an aside, but related, New Jersey collects both tolls and gasoline taxes, yet because it's been diverting 100% of those revenues down its exit ramps and borrowing more money to pay for the occasional repaving, 100% of its highway revenue is spent on debt service for that previous borrowing and the fund is now bankrupt. This may be Bob Horton's and the Greenwich Democrat's solution to maintaining Greenwich's own infrastructure, but it's a lousy way to run a railroad.
Just like all their other ideas.

Place Vision Lead
This exciting new project is supported by a steering group made up of local stakeholders including: Wester Hailes Community Trust, Living Well Wester Hailes, WHALE Arts, Edinburgh Napier University, About Youth, The Youth Agency, The Health Agency, City of Edinburgh Council, Prospect Community Housing and the Scottish Government.
This project complements and builds on existing place-making activity in Wester Hailes, building on current momentum in this area to develop a Local Place Plan. It will also introduce an innovative collaboration of academic and community researchers.
As both an overarching idea and a hands-on approach for improving a neighbourhood, city, or region, placemaking inspires people to collectively reimagine and reinvent public spaces as the heart of every community. Strengthening the connection between people and the places they share, placemaking refers to a collaborative process by which we can shape our public realm in order to maximize shared value. More than just promoting better urban design, placemaking facilitates creative patterns of use, paying particular attention to the physical, cultural, and social identities that define a place and support its ongoing evolution.
With community-based participation at its centre, an effective placemaking process capitalizes on a local community's assets, inspiration, and potential, and it results in the creation of quality public spaces that contribute to people's health, happiness, and wellbeing.
pps.org/article/what-is-placemaking
The role of Place Vision Lead is pivotal to the success of this project. The post holder will work with local residents in the different neighbourhoods of Wester Hailes to recruit and coordinate a small team of community researchers, collaborate with academic researchers at Edinburgh Napier University and create a range of events and resources which will deliver a lasting, transformational, community-led change for the area.
This is a four month project which follows on from work carried out by local organisations, residents along with City of Edinburgh Council and from the work carried out with the community by Ian Gilzean, Chief Architect at Scottish Government, who is currently seconded to City of Edinburgh Council to start to help lay the foundations for a Local Place Plan for Wester Hailes.

Top job! Chief Executive
Carnegie Dunfermline and Hero Fund Trust
BTA (Bruce Tait Associates) are delighted to be working with Carnegie Dunfermline and Hero Fund Trust in their search for a Chief Executive.
Andrew Carnegie's story is one of rags to riches. Born in Dunfermline in 1835 to a father who was a handloom weaver, the arrival of the power loom had a devastating impact on this trade, causing the Carnegies to immigrate to the United States in 1848. Young Andrew began work at age 12 as a bobbin boy in a cotton factory but educated himself by reading and writing and attending night school. Through great entrepreneurial acumen, he was to become one of the wealthiest men in America.
Carnegie wrote frequently about political and social matters, and his most famous article, "Wealth," published in 1889, outlined what came to be called the Gospel of Wealth. This doctrine held that a man who accumulates great wealth has a duty to use his surplus wealth for "the improvement of mankind" in philanthropic causes. A "man who dies rich dies disgraced."
Carnegie is one of the world's most renowned philanthropists. His charitable giving benefitted people across the world in his lifetime and continues to do so today in a myriad of ways.
A rare opportunity has arisen to lead the Carnegie Dunfermline and Hero Fund Trusts. This comprises the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust, which gives grants to local causes and which also runs the world famous Carnegie Birthplace Museum, as well as the Hero Fund Trust. This operates across the UK and recognises civilian heroes by providing long term financial and other support for them and/or their families.
The Board of Trustees is looking for an exceptional person to become the next CEO. You will need to have all the usual skills and attributes required for running a diverse organisation including: strategic leadership and financial management experience, project leadership, experience of working with a Board (though this need not necessarily be in a third sector context), excellent stakeholder management skills and exemplary communication ability in all forms. This is as well as a strong belief and commitment to the Trusts' vision and values, a motivational team leadership style and a knowledge of how to provide support services for vulnerable people.
If you would love the opportunity to be a grant giver that enhances and changes people's lives for the better and have what it takes to be an inspirational leader for this fantastic and much valued organisation, then please request a candidate pack today.
£28,380 – £31,073 pro-rata

The objectives of the project are focussed around care, access and sustainability. The NCF offers an extraordinary opportunity to make our collection work hard all the time, not just when it's on display in the galleries or on tour. We want the NCF to be a game changer – a place for looking and exploring, for talking and making, where visitors can experience the collection in a uniquely flexible way.
The Purpose and Scope of the Post
This role will ensure that NGS is responding to and working with the local community to embed the NCF in North Edinburgh to enable it to make a positive contribution.

The role will enable the community voice to contribute and influence the NCF in terms of its design and its contribution to the community.

The research and insights gained through working with the community will support the wider NGS audience development planning and as such this post will have an awareness and understanding of the audience plans for NGS. The post will produce a community engagement/integration plan for NGS and NCF.

7 questions (and answers) about the Philadelphia Media Network's new incubator

By Sean Blanda / contributor
Tonight, Philadelphia Media Network CEO Greg Osberg will be speaking at Mobile Monday, about his company's recent launch of Android tablet subscriptions and the company's incubator, dubbed "Project Liberty." Both are the latest efforts to help reinvent PMN, owner and operator of The Philadelphia Daily News and the Philadelphia Inquirer, as a digital-first news organization.
After a long lull between the announcement of the incubator and the Knight Foundation grant making the incubator a reality, PMN and partner Ben Franklin Technology Partners are moving quickly and are currently accepting applications.
We spoke with many of the partners involved to answer a few remaining questions about the city's newest incubator. After the jump, see how much stake PMN will take in the companies and what kind of companies its looking for.
How much ownership will PMN take in Project Liberty companies?
It hasn't even been decided if the Philadelphia Media Network or Ben Franklin Technology Partners is even going take any stake in the companies. The money will be allocated to offset the rent and a general business support structure provided by Ben Franklin Technology Partners and PMN.
"I think [CEO Greg Osberg] wants exposure to young companies and ideas," said Hicks. "How better to do that than to have them located in the same building? The upside for him is exposure to these technologies."
"If a company were to come up with a [good] idea we would consider that as a possible product," said PMN spokesperson Mark Block. "As we all know, the way company sets up a product initially may not be what it ends up launching. We want some level of flexibility to see if its a good match."
There is also no language that guarantees BFTP, Knight or PMN the right of first-refusal.
In the past, Knight has run into difficulty by not taking ownership stakes in companies that it funds.
What kind of companies will be selected?
The incubator will focus on companies that focus on three areas: ecommerce, mobile and apps. This philosophy goes hand-in-hand with the recent launch of Android tablets, the other component of Project Liberty.
Where will the companies come from?
Though the incubator is currently accepting applications [.docx link], Project Liberty has also tapped DreamIt Ventures to help supply the incubator with potential companies. Though the timing with DreamIt's Fall class is a bit off, Managing Partner Kerry Rupp said that she could see some of the current DreamIt companies landing at Philadelphia Media Network after Demo Day in December.
"It's not a great match with our program's timing this time around," wrote Rupp in an email to Technically Philly, "but DreamIt alumni companies can qualify – and hopefully future class dates will line up better."
Other prospective companies could include those who didn't make the cut into DreamIt, as well as candidates for the "DreamIt Plus" program, a joint effort by DreamIt and Ben Franklin to keep more DreamIt companies in Philadelphia after graduating.
How many companies will be there?
PMN says that it is required by the grant to have at least one company in the space and it doesn't think the number will ever go over three. It's entirely possible that there will be no "classes" of companies and more a revolving door over the next 24 months. The number of companies is largely affected by the incubator's relationship with Drexel University.
The university is supplying co-op students to work with the incubated companies and the timing of its unique co-op schedule will be one of the primary factors in the timing of the incubator.
Who approves the applications?
Ben Franklin Technology Partners will be the entity that actually received the applications, and has assembled a review board that includes PMN CEO Greg Osberg, BFTP CEO RoseAnn Rosenthal and Drexel University Assistant Dean of Media Technologies Youngmoo Kim. DreamIt Ventures will also aid in the selection process.
"PMN doesn't have their pulse on the young technology companies in the regain, but BFTP and DreamIt know more about identifying suitable applicants," said Hicks.
Where will the incubator be located?
Despite the recent sale of the Inquirer building to Piazza developer Bart Blatstein, the incubator will be located at the company's 400 N. Broad Headquarters on the fifth floor.
Why do this?
All partners spoke about the need to retain more technology and media companies in Philadelphia.
"PMN is committed to a digital transformation of media in the Philadelphia region and we are looking to send that message out to our readers and the business community," said Block.
"Hopefully what will happen is that there will be lesson learned so this can be a model that can be replicated around the country," said Hicks.

Bacteriophage as a novel biocontrol intervention has been successfully applied in foods to control Salmonella and STEC. This study is to assess the effect of two virulent lytic bacteriophage preparation reducing Salmonella on produce and mung bean seeds, and preventing E. coli O157:H7 biofilm formation on lettuce. Produce and seeds were washed and inoculated with bacteria before treated by bacteriophage. Salmonella population on produce, seeds, and germinated sprouts was determined by total plate count. Lettuce coupons were pretreated with STEC bacteriophage before E. coli O157:H7 biofilm grew on the surfaces. A 2-4 logs Salmonella reduction achieved on produce after treated by phage. SalmoFresh™ combined with STEC phage did not improve phage efficacy compared to SalmoFresh™ alone on produce. The effect of phage was negligible when applying to mung bean seeds and germinated sprouts. Pre-treatment with STEC bacteriophage and cofactors reduced E. coli O157:H7 biofilm formation on lettuce by 1.31 logs. But the reduction was negligible without cofactors.

Adenský protektorát (arabsky: حمية عدن, anglicky: Aden Protectorate) byl britský protektorát v letech 1886 až 1963. Byl utvořen v roce 1886 z Jihoarabských emirátů, patřících pod osmanskou suverenitu. V roce 1959 se z jeho západní části utvořila Federace jihoarabských emirátů, v roce 1962 Jihoarabská federace a z východní části byl vytvořen v roce 1963 Jihoarabský protektorát, čímž Adenský protektorát definitivně zanikl. V současnosti je území bývalého Adenského protektorátu součástí Jemenské republiky.

Dějiny

V roce 1832 získali Britové území v jižní části Jemenu se strategickým přístavem Aden. Následně byly uzavřeny neformální dohody s devíti kmeny, obývajícími zázemí přístavu. Jednalo se o kmeny Abdali z Lahidže, Alawí, Amírí z Dhály, Aqrabí, Awálaq, Fadhlí, Hawšabí, Subajhí a Jáfa. Od roku 1874 toto společenství existovalo s tichým souhlasem Osmanské říše a vešlo ve známost jako Devět kmenů. Po podpisu smlouvy se sultanátem Mahra v roce 1886 Britové na velké části jižního Jemenu ustanovili protektorát. Od roku 1917 byl pro administrativní účely rozdělen na dva celky: Západoadenský protektorát a Východoadenský protektorát (většina na území tzv. Hadramautu). Smlouvou z roku 1934 Spojené království uznalo nezávislé Jemenské království, které se naopak zřeklo ambicí na připojení jižního Jemenu. V roce 1937 byla Adenská kolonie ustanovena korunní kolonií a i Adenský protektorát byl spravován nezávisle na Britské Indii.

Zánik protektorátu

Ze Západoadenského protektorátu se pak utvořila v letech 1959 - 1962 Federace jihoarabských emirátů, ze které vznikla v roce 1963 Jihoarabská federace. K té se připojil sultanát Wahidi Balhaf, který byl předtím součástí Východoadenského protektorátu. V roce 1963 byl naproti tomu utvořen Jihoarabský protektorát, který zahrnoval většinu území bývalého Východoadenského protektorátu a sultanát Horní Jafa, který byl do té doby součástí Západoadenského protektorátu, ale na rozdíl od ostatních emirátů se nepřipojil k Federaci jihoarabských emirátů.

Od roku 1963 vedla Národně osvobozenecká fronta na většině území Jižního Jemenu, nacházejícího se pod britskou správou, ozbrojený boj proti koloniální vládě. V důsledku této aktivity a v souvislosti se Suezskou krizí Britové toto území 28. listopadu 1967 vyklidili. O dva dny později byla na teritoriu Jihoarabské federace a Jihoarabského protektorátu vyhlášena Jihojemenská lidová republika, čímž Jihoarabský protektorát zanikl.

Západoadenský a Východoadenský protektorát

Západoadenský protektorát

Západoadenský protektorát měl rozlohu cca 55 000 km², byl spravován z města Lahidž a zahrnoval tato území:

                if (!r) {
                    save=false;
                }
            }
            if(save){
                params = {
                    hour:_hour,
                    rec:_rec
                }
                makeCall('data/guardarCalendarizacion.php',params,function(err,res){
                    alert("Calendarización Actualizada");
                });
            }
        }

    });
}

Como se puede ver en las anteriores lineas antes de setDate coloqué un ternario para indicarle a las variables que se le sigen el valor de null al array pero quisiera que me ayudaran para saber cómo corregir y colocarle el ternario a la linea lastDate.setDate(lastDate.getDate()+1);
getSchedule.php
<?php
require_once('data.php');
header('Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8;');
//config
$dbhost = $hostname;
$dbname = $database;

//connection
$m = new MongoClient("mongodb://$dbhost");
$db = $m -> $dbname;

//selecting collection
$calendario = $db->ejecucion;

$result = $calendario->findOne();
if($result['recurrence']){
    $return = array(
        'recurrence'=>true,
        'rec'=>$result['period'],
        'hour'=>$result['hour'],
        'min'=>$result['min'],
        'lastExec'=>$result['last_execution'],
        'lastDay' =>$result['last_day']
    );
}
else{
    $return = array(
        'recurrence'=>false,
        'dayExec'=>$result['day_week'],
        'hour'=>$result['hour'],
        'min'=>$result['min'],
        'lastExec'=>$result['last_execution'],
        'firstExec'=>$result['first_execution'],
        'begin'=>$result['range']['start'],
        'end'=>$result['range']['end'],
        'lastDay' =>$result['last_day']
    );
}

echo json_encode($return, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);

?>

A: Los más probable es que el problema se deba a que no has tenido el debido cuidado con la  precedencia de operaciones. Coloca entre paréntesis la condición de cada uno de las operadores ternarios
Por ejemplo,
var arrayDate= _firstExec == null ? null: _firstExec.split('-');

cámbiala a
var arrayDate= (_firstExec == null) ? null: _firstExec.split('-');

A: Te aconsejo que extraigas tu lógica de la fecha a una función para que tu código se más fácil de mantener y para que la puedas reutilizar no olvide el principio DRY, por lo tanto lo te aconsejo lo siguiente:

let lastMovedDay = '2019-07-16'

function convertirFecha(fecha){
  if(!fecha){
      return null;
  }
  let datosFecha = fecha.split('-');
  return new Date(datosFecha[0], datosFecha[1]-1, datosFecha[2]);
}

console.log(convertirFecha(lastMovedDay))

Por lo tanto que hice, realice una función que reciba un string que contiene una fecha en formato yyyy-mm-dd, se evalúa el contenido de la variable basándonos en  JavaScript debido a que usa el tipo coerción en contextos Booleanos; esto en otras palabras es el uso de Falsy, por lo tanto si el contenido es null retornara null de lo contrario retornar tu fecha esperada.
lo puedes implementar en tu codigo asi:
var arrayDate= _firstExec == null ? null: _firstExec.split('-');

lo cambias por
let arrayDate= convertirFecha(_firstExec);

Posdata: procura no utilizar declraciones de variables con la palabra reservada var, mejor empieza a implementar let o const, es un beneficio para ti mas adelante.

Tommy Tiernan
24 Sep 2009 Jay	3 Comments
Tommy Tiernan did a Hotpress Q&A at Electric Picnic – watch it here on the Hotpress website. That may be enough to make you wonder what the fuss is about. Fuss that has surfaced two weeks after the event. You've probably heard something about this story by now but I'd strongly recommend watching the video. Context is absolutely vital. It seems quite a frightening place where our words might be taken out of context and used against us, especially if those words form part of a performed characterisation or story. Fearfully consigning oneself to a life without stories is a fairly joyless prospect.
The interviewer, Olaf Tyaransen, makes a few strange moves during the Q&A including weirdly wrong-footing Tommy by saying he heard Brian Cowen say Ireland was a great 'land' not a great 'brand'…only to contradict himself a moment later. (I couldn't find the speech Tommy talks about but, conveniently, Brian Cowen spoke of Ireland as a brand only last week.)
I find the whole thing fascinating. The entire media furore (it's hardly a story at all) is based on a biased article by Sunday Tribune writer Ken Sweeney. It was followed by similarly biased articles by Jim Carroll (on his blog) and David Adams (in The Irish Times). Each of these pieces suited the contexts they appeared in – Mr Sweeney's article was cream of the crop Sunday paper material, something to raise the eyebrows over but ultimately entertainment; Mr Carroll's blog post, although hosted by The Irish Times, is properly his own opinion; Mr Adams's is in the Opinon section (again of The Irish Times). The contributions of Alan Shatter TD and the Archbishop of Dublin (his opinion being front page material, of course) bring the thing to a new level with talk of incitement to hatred and racism being bandied about with calls for anyone who isn't one of Tiernan's fellow racist idiots to boycott and ostracise him. Incitement to hatred, in other words.
I hope Hotpress (who published the full transcript today) sell a lot of copies. More than that I hope that people don't vilify an intelligent, articulate, joyful, private individual. I know everyone's poking fun at the church nowadays – sure it's all the rage – but there's definitely something to be said for "let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
Meanwhile the jester gets a kicking from the pitiful boneheads out the back of the castle.

Here's a great, concise blog post from Gerard Cunningham: http://faduda.ie/?p=1843
I took out a sentence from this post today that contained some disparaging sentiment towards Ken Sweeney. I was "shooting the messenger" a bit and, after speaking to Mr Sweeney, I agreed to remove the comments.
I still maintain that the piece he wrote reports a comedian's throw-away comments in an incongruously serious way. Tommy Tiernan was having a laugh (obviously very much of the 'you had to be there' kind…), Ken Sweeney was making a story. Both doing their thing, fair enough, but I know which one leaves the bitter taste in my mouth…
Hmmm. I'm sure Mr. Sweeney is always removing sentences from his articles. Oh wait. No. Sounds a little bit of an overly sensitive type. Dear mr sweeney welcome to the Internet be careful contains opinions

Honors College Student's Information Exposed
For over 40 days, the personal information of 688 students and prospective students of UTSA's Honors College was exposed to unauthorized viewers. The students were not notified until almost two months later.
On Sep. 20, 2011, Richard A. Diem Ph.D., dean of the Honors College, mailed a personal letter to the 688 students stating that there was "an inadvertent exposure of student education records." An e-mail with the same information was sent to each of the students as well.
The exposure began June 20, 2011, because of a configuration change to the Automated Student Access Program (ASAP), which is used by students and faculty to access information including class schedules, advising information, fiscal services and information on the Honors College.
On Aug. 2, 2011, an employee notified UTSA officials of a potential unauthorized exposure of Honors College student information. The exposure allowed employees, including those who did not have a business need, to view students' information such as names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and GPAs.
According to information reported in an article on the UTSA Today website, "233 records were accessed by unauthorized users. An additional 455 records may have been accessed by unauthorized users; the remaining 4,012 records were not accessed."
David Gabler, associate vice president for university communications, stated that social security numbers were not visible at any time.
"I want to be very clear that no information was changed. Viewing is very different than having access to change," Gabler said. He also stated that the exposure was closed down within an hour after it was noticed; an investigation was started and the situation was rectified.
UTSA's Information Technology department was able to determine who accessed which files and determined that there appeared to be no malicious intent involved in the accessing of the students' files.
The past 10 years have seen a tremendous change in the amount of data and information that universities store online about students and faculty.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) has set standards for what student educational information is available to the public and what should be done in the case of exposure.
FERPA was enacted by Congress to protect the privacy of students and their parents. FERPA does not protect against disclosing records that have a student's name but does protect against disclosing a student's status and educational information.
The university was not required by FERPA or federal guidelines to send a letter or an e-mail to those students who were possibly affected but erred on the side of caution, even though no social security information was exposed.
"When it comes to data and information about students, that is a priority number one here." President Ricardo Romo has put together a fairly comprehensive task force to look at security issues. "We are doing everything we can to make sure these things don't happen and when they do, Dr. Romo is very clear that [we] share what we know with the students," Gabler said.
Gabler can remember only one other incident similar to this exposure in his 15 years of employment at UTSA. "It's been so long ago that I can't remember details. Very rare," he said.
When asked about the breach in security, Honors College student Carolina Canizales, senior Communications major, stated that she worried a little bit about her address information leaking to the public, but other than that she was fairly certain that everything was handled well.
Students trust that when they provide their personal information to the university it will be kept confidential. It appears that the university has held up its end of the bargain. When asked if anyone else should be concerned about the access of his or her information, Gabler said, "We did a double check and a triple check on that, and if you did not get the e-mail or the letter, you can be comfortable that your records were not accessed."

We would encourage you now to jot down your motivations for studying this course: it may be a useful and revealing exercise to revisit this subject again when you have finished the course.
People come to the study of religion for many reasons, most of which are so obvious as to not require explication. What I want to draw to your attention is the idea of altered perception implicit in the quote at the top of this page. One of the primary goals in the scholarly study of religion is to encourage you to view the subject from perspectives not your own, and to study religions that are less familiar to you, in cultural and social contexts that you may not have lived in or experienced. We feel sure that you will find this a rewarding, if at tiles challenging, exercise. Ninian Smart, a well-known figure in the field of Religious Studies, has put the same idea well, in the narrower context of Christianity: 'The beginning of understanding it is noticing its strangeness' (Smart, 1979, p.312).
