Клан Кроуфорд (шотл. - Clan Crawford, гельск. - MacCreamhainn) - клан МакКревайнн - один з кланів рівнинної частини Шотландії - Лоуленду. На сьогодні клан Кроуфорд не має визнаного герольдами Шотландії та лордом Лева вождя, тому називається «кланом зброєносців». Останній вождь клану Кроуфорд Х'ю Рональд Джордж Кроуфорд продав свою землю і маєтки (клану Кросбі, Авхінеймс та іншим кланам) і переїхав до Канади у 1904 році. Він помер в Калгарі у 1942 році не лишивши спадкоємців.

Гасло клану: Tutum te robore reddam - Я дам вам безпеку міцності (гельск.)

Землі клану: Ренфрюшир, Айршир

Історичні резиденції клану: Замок Авхінеймс (шотл. - Auchinames Castle) - Ренфрюшир, замок Кроуфурдленд (шотл. - Craufurdland Castle) - Айршир.

Історія клану Кроуфорд

Походження клану Кроуфорд
Вважається, що назва клану Кроуфорд нормандського походження. Назва клану безпосередньо взята з назви вотчини в Ланаркширі. Ранні імена всіх вождів клану Кроуфорд норманські, але деякі вчені стверджують, що вожді клану мають англо-датське походження. Існує історична традиція, що Реджинальд - син графа Річмонда був одним з нормандських лицарів, що були запрошені на службу королем Шотландії Девідом I і отримали в нагороду за службу землі. Один із засновників клану Кроуфорд фігурує в легенді: король Шотландії на полюванні був атакований пораненим оленем і його врятував лицар Кроуфорд. У пам'ять цієї події було створене абатство Холіруд і сер Греган Кроуфорд отримав нагороди і титули за порятунок короля. Гребінь клану з зображенням оленя, герб вождів клану та гасло клану натякають саме на цю подію.

Сер Реджинальд Кроуфорд був призначений шерифом Айр у 1296 році. Його сестра вийшла заміж за Воллеса Елдерслай і стала матір'ю шотландського героя і патріота Вільяма Воллеса. Якщо виходити з традиційною походження Вільяма Уоллеса, як син Малькольма Воллеса Елдерслай. Під час повстання за незалежність Шотландії клан Кроуфорд підтримав Вільяма Воллеса. Від ширифа Айр виникли основні гілки клану Кроуфорд: Кроуфорд Авхінейм та Кроуфорд Кроуфордленд. Основна лінія вождів клану отримала від короля вільної Шотландії Роберта І Брюса королівську грамоту на володіння землями Авхінеймс у Ренфруширі в 1320 році.

XV - XVII століття
Сер Вільям Кроуфорд був посвячений у лицарі королем Шотландії Джеймсом I. Він воював у складі шотландських найманців в армії короля Франції Карла VII. У 1423 році він був поранений при облозі Креюл (фр. - Creyult) в Бургундії. Джон Кроуфордленд був убитий в битві під Флодден у 1513 році так само як і лерди Авхінеймс. У 1547 році лерд Авхінеймс був убитий в битві під Пінкі Клев. Томас Кроуфорд Джорданхілл теж брав участь у битві рід Пінкі Клев, потрапив в полон і потім був викуплений. У 1569 році він споріднився з Генрі Стюартом - лордом Дарнлі, коли лорд Дарнлі одружився з Марією Стюарт - королевою Шотландії. Пізніше Кроуфорд засудив Мейтленда Лехерінгтонського і сера Джеймса Бальфура, як змовників у вбивстві лорда Дарнлі, проте він не співчував королеві, коли її скинули з трону.

У XVII столітті замок Кроуфордленд був добряче розширений XVI лердом Кроуфорд.

XVIII століття - повстання якобітів
Джон Волкіншоу Кроуфордт - ХХ лерд Кроуфорд був видатним воїном, що вступив до армії в ранньому віці і дослужився до звання підполковника. Він брав участь у переможній битві під Деттінгеном у 1743 році проти французів. Два роки опісля він відзначився у битві при Фонтенуа. Але, незважаючи на те, що він вірно служив Великій Британії та Ганноверській династії, під час повстання якобітів у 1745 році він став до лав повстанців за незалежність Шотландії та за династію Стюартів. Він був соратником графа графа Кілмарнок - вождя клану Бойд. Після поразки повстанців він пішов з графом до кінця і зійшов разом з ним на ешафот, де він отримав відрубану голову графа і брав участь в урочистостях його похорону. За підтримку повстанців він був помилуваний, але потрапив в немилість. Пізніше, у 1761 році довіра до нього була відновлена і він навіть отримав посаду сокольничого короля Великої Британії. Він помер в 1793 році і залишив всі свої маєтки сера Томасу Коуттсу. Але це було оскаржене в суді Елізабет Кроуфорд, що в виграла справу в Палаті лордів в 1806 році. Ця гілка клану об'єдналася кланом Г'юстон, і вони досі живуть в Кроуфордленді.

ХІХ століття
Сер Олександр Кроуфорд Кілбірні отримав титул баронета в 1781 році. Його син - Роберт Кроуфорд командував Дивізією Світла під час Віни на Півострові. Він загинув у 1812 році під час наполеонівських війн, коли вів свої війська на штурм фортеці Сьюдад-Родріго. Пам'ятник йому був побудований в соборі Святого Павла в Лондоні. Х'ю Кроуфорд - ХХІ лерд Авхінеймс емігрував до Канади, продавши стародавні кланові землі в ХХ столітті. Лінія вождів клану урвалась.

Замки клану Кроуфорд
 Замок Авхінеймс (шотл. - Auchinames Castle) - Ренфрюшир.
 Замок Кроуфордленд (шотл. - Craufurdland Castle) - Айршир.
 Замок Алмонд (шотл. - Almond Castle) - Лінлітгоу.
 Замок Лоудаун (шотл. - Loudoun Castle) - Айршир, потім перейшов до клану Кемпбелл.

Незвичайна смерть
Джон Кроуфорд з Кроуфоррдленду помер в 1612 році, у віці всього лише 21 рік в результаті травми, яку він отримав під час гри в футбол. Його вдова вийшла заміж за сера Девіда Барклая з Леділенду з округи Кілбірні, Ейршир.

So you have an Italian bike with appropriate threaded bottom bracket shell and you're running Campagnolo cranks, congrats, you're an Italophile. If you're looking to drop the drag over your current BB or you're starting a build from scratch and value a smooth drivetrain, go with the ITA Campagnolo UT bottom bracket from CeramicSpeed and enjoy a super smooth spinning crankset. We've never hidden our preference of threaded shells as we've come to enjoy less creaking and popping as well as easier installs and longevity and pairing this Italian threaded BB with a Campy crankset is a match made in heaven.
Reducing friction not only saves watts, letting you ride faster with less effort, it helps the component last longer. The Danes at CeramicSpeed are downright obsessive in its quest to reduce friction which is why it offers bottom brackets for almost every standard on the market. And if you loathe friction as much as the crew at CeramicSpeed and want to optimize your bike to go as fast as it can, upgrade your bike with one of its bottom brackets and enjoy reduced friction as well as better resistance to contamination and corrosion.
Compared to steel ball bearings, CeramicSpeed's balls resist corrosion, which is in part responsible for why bearings start to feel gritty as they age as well as causing the bearings to run hotter which reduces the lifespan of the component. CeramicSpeed balls are also much harder than standard steel balls. Apply enough pressure to a steel ball and it will crack under load while under that same load the CeramicSpeed ball won't flinch, maintaining the exact surface finish and roundness which could affect spinning smoothness. Meanwhile, these non-round and rough ball bearings create increased friction and begin to quickly wear down the steel bearing races.
CeramicSpeed is able to achieve such high marks because it uses the highest quality Grade 3 Silicon Nitride for its bearings. Don't be fooled into thinking that all ceramic bottom brackets bearings on the market are the same. In testing, CeramicSpeed claims its balls are 15% harder, can take 99% higher loads, and are more than 100% smoother than other ceramic balls typically used on the market. Included with the bottom bracket are dustcovers, special grease for maintenance, and a sticker sheet.

11 things to know about Armistice Day, November 11, in France
As the country commemorates the 1918 Armistice and President Macron honours the last member of General de Gaulle's Ordre de la Libération, we explain the French origins of today's commemoration
November 11 primarily commemorates the Armistice of 1918 but it is now also a day of remembrance for other wars and heroes too Pic: EBASCOL / Shutterstock
By Hannah Thompson
November 11 (today) is a holiday in France, with events taking place nationwide in memory of the 1918 Armistice, and other war-related incidents.
1. The Armistice was signed in France at 05:45 on November 11, to take effect at 11:00, effectively ending World War One.
2. The Armistice was signed in a train restaurant carriage, which was parked in the clearing of Rethondes in the forest of Compiègne in the Oise.
3. Marshal Ferdinand Foch signed the document as the supreme commander of the Allied forces, after several days of discussion with Admiral Wemyss of the UK and Matthias Erzberger of Germany.
4. The document was signed between Germany and the 'Triple Entente' of France, UK, and US.
5. It was a ceasefire that was initially intended to only be provisional, as it did not officially mark the capitulation of Germany. It was set to last 33 days, but was later renewed.
6. The date of November 11 was not an accident – it was a 'French choice' because the date is traditionally the saint day of the patron saint of the Francs, Saint Martin.
7. It wasn't until the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, that the Great War officially ended.
8. France is not the only country to commemorate the Armistice date; it is also recognised in countries such as the UK, US, Canada, Australia, Italy and Portugal, among others.
9. November 11, 1920 was the first year that the commemoration took place, with France choosing to honour the 'unknown soldier' with military honours. The remains of the unidentified soldier were buried under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and later placed near a remembrance flame. The day was only declared a national holiday in 1922 after this was decided in late November 1921.
10. The 'Remembrance Flame' was created after an idea by War Minister André Maginot. It is kept alive by a 'Flame Committee', and has never gone out since 1922, even during the Occupation.
11. In France, the symbol of remembrance is a cornflower, worn in a buttonhole. This is in reference to new soldiers, who during World War One used to wear blue uniforms, and were nicknamed 'cornflowers (bleuets)' as a result

Since 2012, the day has also been used to pay homage to soldiers known and unknown who have died in combat in any wars, not just World War One, as well as heroes who contributed in other ways.
For example, this year, President Macron has paid homage to the late Hubert Germain, who was the last surviving person to have received General de Gaulle's Ordre de la Libération, after a life of duty to France.

Mr Germain died on October 12 this year, aged 101. His coffin will today travel through Paris, from Les Invalides to the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées.

Many churches across France commemorate the day by ringing bells at 11:00, and communities hold events at their war memorials. There are around 30,000 war memorials in France, and even some of the tiniest villages and hamlets are likely to have one.
Almost 10 million military personnel were killed or injured in World War One, including more than 1 million French soldiers. The war killed or injured around 40 million people in total (both military and civilian), including an estimated 15 million-20 million deaths.
Some shops may have different opening hours today, and some workers may have taken the day off, with many choosing to 'faire le pont (bridge)', linking today's day off with another one tomorrow, to have a four-day weekend.

Q: Rename variables with illegal character Stata I have many variables whose name starts with I: followed by a number n (like I:2390). These are indicator variables, with value 1 for observation n. I imported this database from other software (Oxmetrics), so they were not created in Stata. According to the Stata Manual, only letters, numbers and _ are allowed for variable names. Thus, Stata doesn't allow character : within names. Hence, I cannot run regression on them (output is I ambiguous abbreviation r(111);).
I'm trying to rename them all, but so far nothing works, perhaps because the name is invalid. For example, I tried:
rename I:2390 OUT2390

rename I# OUT#

replace I:2390 = subinstr(I:2390, "I:", "OUT", .)

The output is the same as before: I ambiguous abbreviation r(111);

I:7729          double
I:7746          double

Is there a way to solve this in Stata, or do I need to use other software?

A: The problem with the previous solution (exporting as .csv) is that you might lose the variables' labels. A possible solution is to replace all the illegal characters of your variables' names with an underline, using the code below:
foreach varname of varlist * {

local i = `i' + 1

if ( "`varname'" != ustrtoname("`varname'") ) {

    mata : st_varrename(`i', ustrtoname("`varname'") )
   }
}

A: I cannot make sample data with variable name containing a colon.
Try:

*

*export to csv
outsheet using EXPORTED_FILE.csv

*modify variable name in text editor

*import back to Stata.

Mary Ann Smith - Christened in St. Paul's Church, Hammersmith, 1814.
Joseph Smith - Christened in St. Paul's Church, Valentine's Day 1819.
Sarah Smith - Christened in St Paul's Church, March 1829.
James Smith - Christened in St Paul's Church, June 1829.
William Smith - Christened in St Paul's Church, June 1829.
Up until the 1830's there were only two churches in Hammersmith and Fulham, St Paul's in Hammersmith and All Saint's in Fulham, with All Saints being the main church for the area - both Hammersmith and Fulham were villages at the time. I checked the baptism records for both churches and found only one record of a Joseph Smith with a father named William. I believe this to be the correct family for that reason and also as Joseph's first daughter was named Sophia, the same name as his mother. So far I have been unable to find a marriage entry for William and Sophia - I know that they weren't married in Hammersmith or Fulham. The baptism records, and Joseph's marriage certificate, state that William was a labourer.
James and William were christened on the same day, a note was made that their father William was deceased. No mention of this was made on Sarah's baptism record so I presumed he was alive in March. I found a burial record for William Smith of Hammersmith at St Paul's Church. He was buried in April 1829 at the age of 40. This record was the only one for a William Smith in 1829. I also found burial records of a Sarah Smith (1830 aged 1 year and 8 months) and James Smith (1834 aged 8 years). I cannot be sure these are the same two children that were born into this family but the ages do seem to be about right.
Sophia was buried at St Paul's Church in 1845 at the age of 55 years.
Joseph Smith - Born Hammersmith, 1845. Christened in St Peters Church, 1845.
Sophia Smith - Born Hammersmith, 1846. Christened in St Paul's Church, Hammersmith, 1849. Married James Branch in 1871.
Mary Anne Smith - Born Hammersmith, 1849. Christened and buried in St Paul's Church, 1849.
Susan Smith - Born Hammersmith, 1852. Christened in St Paul's Church, 1852. Married Thomas Stockwell at St Peter's Church on Christmas Eve, 1870 - the same day as her brother Joseph.
Rebecca Smith - Married George Bovington in 1879.
Joseph's baptism record of 1819 didn't state whether Joseph was a baby or a toddler when the event occurred. The 1841, 1851 and 1871 census records all state that Joseph would have been born a couple of years earlier, possibly in 1816, so I am unsure of when Joseph was born.
Joseph and Susan were both of full age when they married. The marriage was witnessed by William Wells and Elizabeth Holder (presumably the sister of Susan). Susan's father - William Holder - was recorded as being a fisherman. Joseph was working as a labourer.
Sophia and Mary Anne were christened on the same day in 1849. Mary Anne was buried a couple of months later aged 3 months.
In the 1851 census, the family were living in the Parish of St Paul's, Hammersmith with Susan Holder the 87 year old widowed mother of Susan.
The 1861 census shows Joseph working as a labourer, Susan as a laundress and Joseph junior as an errand boy.
Joseph junior and Susan junior were both living at the same address on the day of their marriages. When the census was taken 3 months later in 1871, Joseph senior and his remaining family were at the same address given. It is due to the address given on the marriage certificates that I have managed to work my way back with the rest of the family.
The 1871 census lists an Eliza Smith aged 2 years. She was listed as the daughter of Joseph and Susan but in fact she was the illegitimate daughter of Sophia. Eliza can be seen on the 1881 census living with Sophia's family but listed as Eliza Branch.
On the marriage certificate of Joseph junior, Joseph senior is recorded as having been a carman.
Susan died in 1878 aged 62 years. She died in the Union Workhouse of syncope imbecility. She was noted as being the wife of Joseph Smith, a labourer.
Joseph died in 1879 aged 63 years. His cause of death was bronchitis and exhaustion. He had had bronchitis for one month, and exhaustion for 3 days. His death was registered by his daughter Susan Stockwell. Susan was unable to write as she made a cross. Both Joseph and Susan were living in Trafalgar Street at the time. Joseph was living at number 4, and Susan was living at number 18. Joseph was noted as having been a carman.
In the 1881 census William was living with his sister Rebecca and her family.
Joseph Smith - Born Hammersmith, 1874. Christened at St Paul's Church, 1874, Died 1875, buried at Margravine Road Cemetery - now known as Hammersmith Cemetery.
William James Smith - Born Hammersmith, 1879. Christened at St Paul's Church, 1879.
Joseph and Charlotte were both of 'full age' when they married. Joseph was presumably unable to write as he had made his mark on the certificate by his name. Charlotte's father, Richard Thorpe, was recorded as having been a carman.
Joseph worked as a carman throughout his life. It was noted on his marriage certificate, the 1881 census, 1901 census and on William's birth certificate. In 1881 Joseph's wife, Charlotte, was also working as a laundress.
The 1901 census shows that Charlotte Hovell and her family were living in the same house as Joseph and Charlotte. Thomas is lisited as being a visitor in the Hovell household rather than being Joseph's son.
On William's birth certificate Charlotte had made her mark, so presumably she could not write.
Charlotte died in 1903, aged 57 years. Her cause of death was bronchitis, which she had had for four months. Her death was registered by her daughter, Charlotte Hovell. At the time, as in the 1901 census, the two families were living in the same house.
William George Smith - Born Hammersmith, 1897. Christened at St Paul's Church 1898. Died in Scotland in the 1981.
Edmund Thomas Smith - Born 1900. Died 1987.
Thomas Joseph Smith - Born 1905. Died 1987.
Alfred James Smith - Died in Burma, 1945, while serving with the East Kent Regiment.
According to their marriage certificate, William and Kate were 20 years and 18 years old respectively. After having found their birth certificates, I have found out that they were actually only 18 and 15 (!) years old. When William and Kate married, she was approximately 7 months pregnant. At the time of William George's birth, Kate had only been 16 for 4 weeks! The two witneses at their marriage were William's sister and her husband, Thomas and Charlotte Hovell.
On William George's birth certificate, William James is recorded as being a chimney sweep. The 1901 census says that William James was a contractor carman.
Kate died in Fulham, 1946. After her death William moved to Portsmouth to live with his son Edmund (Ted) where he died in 1948 of cardiac failure and coronary thrombosis.
To see a picture of William and Kate taken about 1905 click here. (Thanks to Virginia Millard, nee Smith, for this photo.) William apparently always had a dove as a pet, and one is shown in this photo. Kate is wearing a pendant with a photo around her neck, presumably of a loved one. It looks to me as though it is of a sailor. Her older brother was a sailer but died while on leave in 1900, so maybe the photo is of him. The photo also shows the size difference between William and Kate, with her being much taller than him.
John Thomas Smith, born Fulham 1925.
When William and Nellie married they were 24 and 22 years old respectively. On their marriage certificate William was a carman, as was his father William James Smith. Nellie was not working, and her father - Henry Charles Rawlings - was a bricklayer. The marriage was witnessed by Thomas Smith and Alice Rawlings - William's brother and Nellie's sister. Thomas and Alice were actually engaged at some point but the marriage never went ahead. Thomas later married while Alice remained unmarried throughtout her life.
Nellie died in 1975, aged 75 years, in St Stephen's hospital, Chelsea. Three reasons were given for her cause of death: 1a. diabetic keto acidosis, 1b. faecal peritonitis, 2. myocardial infarction. William registered her death.
William died in 1981, aged 83 years. He died in Coatbridge, Scotland, while staying with his son Bill. His causes of death were noted as myocardial infarction, ischaemic heart disease and chronic bronchitis. He was noted as having been a docker, and unsurprisingly, both his parents were deceased.
Alan John Smith, born Fulham 1949.
Jeff Smith, born 1977. Has a son called Kai, born 2001.
Lee Smith. Has a daughter called Nia, born 2002.
Also has 3 other children from subsequent marriages - no information known about them.
John and Vera were 23 and 19 years old respectively when they got married. John was a bus conductor, by this time his father - William George - was a dock labourer. Vera was not working, and her father - Francis Littlejohn Stock - was a caterer's porter. The marriage was witnessed by a L.G.Stock - Vera's brother Leonard, and a W.H.Smith who I presume was John's brother Bill.
Vera died in 1959, aged 29 years, of stomach cancer. She is buried in North Sheen cemetery, London.
Paula Louise Smith, born Basingstoke, Hampshire 1976. ---- ME!!!
Robin Alan Smith, born Basingstoke, Hampshire 1979.

Q: AT commands SM 0,0 I'm new at AT commands, and I'm having an issue when I try to receive a SMS in my SIM card.
It's a D-link DWM-157 (I guess that's it).
How I'm doing:
AT
OK
AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CPMS?
+CPMS: "SM", 0, 0, "SM", 0, 0, "SM", 0, 0

and then it returns the SM as 0,0, as if the SIM card had no max SMS storage capacity.
I tried plugging off and on again the modem and sometimes it works just fine, but when I reset it again, the problem comes back.
Can you guys help me understanding what's going on?

"We applaud New Bedford municipal leaders for creating a dedicated fund for arts and culture, and also applaud Gov. Baker for supporting this measure. New Bedford receives approximately $70,000 annually in state funding for the arts, and dedicating a portion of the city's hotel tax to an arts, culture, and tourism fund will raise an additional $100,000 for the city's cultural initiatives. Combining state funding with municipal investment creates the best possible partnership to ensure that local arts and cultural institutions have the resources they need to thrive.
"We applaud the Massachusetts Legislature―particularly Senate President Stan Rosenberg, House Speaker Robert DeLeo, and our legislative champions, Senators Dan Wolf and Eric Lesser and Representatives William "Smitty" Pignatelli and Cory Atkins―for overriding Governor Charlie Baker's veto of more than half of the Massachusetts Cultural Council's budget. When the news of Gov. Baker's veto broke, the arts community was shocked, but quickly moved to action. We sent more than 12,000 messages to lawmakers requesting an override of the governor's veto. Every single lawmaker heard from a constituent on this issue, and 135 lawmakers signed a letter and committed to the override.
"We applaud Mayor Marty Walsh for the creation of this plan. It is a strong show of support for the arts, which was a central theme of his mayoral campaign. We also applaud the widespread involvement of the city's creative communities in this planning process, which saw the direct involvement of more than 5,000 people. This confirms what the arts community has long known: there is a great hunger within the city to maximize the potential of the arts to build and strengthen our neighborhoods, schools, and economic health.
"Over the last four years, lawmakers have recognized the tremendous value of arts and culture in the Commonwealth by providing steady increased investment in the Massachusetts Cultural Council, which makes grants to arts institutions and local cultural councils across the state. Today's recommendation by the House Ways and Means Committee to fund the MCC at $10 million is a deeply disappointing—and abrupt—u-turn from that community investment.
"If enacted, this recommendation would represent a 28 percent cut from last year's budget of $14.16 million. The creative community is a critical partner in building a vibrant, healthy, and equitable Massachusetts. It makes vital contributions to the economic development of neighborhoods and downtowns around the state, particularly in Gateway Cities. Nonprofit arts and cultural organizations in Massachusetts support more than 45,000 jobs, spend $2.1 billion annually, and generate another $2.5 billion of economic activity. Additionally, every dollar spent by an arts and cultural organization generates $2.30 in sales for nearby businesses. The funding recommendation by the House Ways and Means Committee would put these gains at risk.
BOSTON, Feb. 8, 2016—MASSCreative announces today that Sara Stackhouse has been elected the new chair of its board of directors. Stackhouse, principal at the consulting firm Stackhouse Creative LLC, brings more than 20 years of experience in arts and cultural production, administration, and education to MASSCreative as the organization seeks to develop long-term sustainability and grow its advocacy capacity.
Prior to founding Stackhouse Creative, which handles artistic, educational and creative projects, as well as organizational development and fundraising work, Stackhouse served for 11 years as executive producer at Actors' Shakespeare Project, where she produced 48 professional productions and helped developed its youth, education, and community programs. She was supervising producer of A&E's INSIDE The Old House, and worked for nearly six years as project manager for cellist Yo-Yo Ma, including work internationally on artistic collaborations, education projects, and numerous films. Stackhouse also has experience in public broadcasting, serving as the first director of education for NPR's From the Top and producing A Taste of Chanukah for PBS, PRI and Rounder Records. Stackhouse also served as executive producer of MIT Media Lab's Toy Symphony, and as a consultant for many years to the Berkshire Institute for Theology and the Arts. She is currently an affiliated faculty member in Emerson College's Department of Performing Arts.
MASSCreative is governed by a 13-member board of directors. Stackhouse, who previously served as co-vice chair of the board, will succeed Rus Peotter as chair. Peotter will remain as a crucial advisor and member of the board's executive committee as chair emeritus.
January 20, 2016―Citing the important role that the Huntington Theatre Company plays in the Boston region's arts and cultural scene, leading arts and cultural organizations today launched the #HuntingtonOnHuntington campaign to show support for keeping the Huntington at its current location on Huntington Avenue.
In October, after 33 years in which the Huntington served as the primary tenant of the BU Theatre in partnership with Boston University, the university announced it was selling its Huntington Avenue properties, which may leave the Huntington Theatre Company without a mainstage home.
On Sunday January 17, The Boston Globe reported that an investment group has emerged as a front-runner to buy the company's Huntington Avenue theater. The Boston Globe indicates that the administration of Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, officials from Boston University, representatives of the Huntington Theatre Company, and an investment group led by Boston-area developer John Matteson, are actively engaged in finding a solution to keep the Huntington Theatre Company in its home on Huntington Avenue.
The Tony Award-winning Huntington Theatre Company is a cornerstone of Boston's theatre community. It routinely stages productions that continue to live on around the country and on Broadway, including its famous collaborations with the late August Wilson. It draws 200,000 audience members a year to its two venues – the BU Theatre on Huntington Avenue and the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA in the South End. The Calderwood Pavilion facility serves dozens of other companies each year, from SpeakEasy Stage to Company One. In total, the Huntington employs over 400 full-time equivalent staff members and artists each year, and generates more than $19 million annually in economic activity. Through its youth education programs, the Huntington also provides programs for more than 33,000 youth and community members, many of them from Boston's under-resourced neighborhoods.
The campaign to keep the #HuntingtonOnHuntington, organized by ArtsBoston, StageSource, The Fenway Alliance, and MASSCreative, believes that it is vital that the city and the community come together to support keeping the Huntington Theatre Company in its home on Huntington Avenue. It is also calling on Boston residents, artists, and cultural leaders to voice their support to keep the Huntington Theatre Company on Huntington Avenue by adding their names to a statement of support and to share stories about the Huntington's value to the community.

Worries of Mayisyan Community Impacted by ANPP
EcoLur
EcoLur continues presenting the series of materials on the residents of impacted residential areas, local active civil society and local government bodies on safety measures related to awareness, preparation in emergencies, and participation in decision-making processes.
We are presenting the results of the studies carried out in Mayisyan community in the ANPP-impact zone on 29 November.
'In 2008, the ANPP and Construction Company took 800 ha from the territory of Mayisyan Community: at that time, I supported this initiative but now I think these land areas shouldn't have been in Mayisyan territory. The ANPP is annually paying around 5.5 million AMD to the community as a land tax and property tax, which is a negligent money for the community and the household. If I didn't receive this money the state would give more subsidies to our community. Now I receive less subsidy as compared with other villages as the land tax and property tax paid by the ANPP have been taken into consideration,' Mayisyan Community Head said.
Mayisyan Doesn't Have Shelters
Mayisyan community, where the ANPP is located, doesn't have shelters with the proper equipment to shelter in emergencies. 'Residents are aware that they shall shelter in their own basements in case of emergencies,' Community Head said.
EcoLur's camera has fixed one of the basements meant as a shelter: it didn't have any protecting and functional significance and couldn't have served its purpose.
There is an outpatient clinic, which has only iodine preparation, according to the community head.
No trainings or measures are organized for the residents: trainings are held only in school and in rare cases for the staff of the emergency groups operating adjunct to the rural municipality.
The elderly representatives of the community consider the knowledge of the population to be insufficient, which was confirmed by one of the residents, 'The residents shall have elementary knowledge to be able to be protected in case of a danger. The older generation has this knowledge to some extent, while the youth are not aware at all.'
EcoLur's surveys showed that the most part of the population is not aware of nuclear and radiation dangers, their consequences and protective actions they should take. In reply to EcoLur's question, what you should do if the ANPP annunciates about a radiation danger, almost all said, 'We will run out of our houses straightforward.'
Speaking about the participation of Mayisyan community in the discussions of the legal acts meant to ensure nuclear safety, the community head informed that the rural municipality is passive in terms of participating in the discussions.
How Mayisyan Lives and Heats
Mayisyan has 2300 residents, out of whom only 15 are employed at ANPP. The residents mainly deal with agriculture, growing vegetables and cattle breeding. They use gas, wood and pressed dung, sometimes electricity to heat their houses.
Problem with Water and Sewage
Mayisyan has problems bot with drinking and irrigation water: 'We used to use the water of the Sevjur River, now there is no water – the water there is bearly sufficient for Aknalitch and the water doesn't reach us. We have 12 deep wells which help us irrigate 80% of our land areas. I own around 40 ha of area, where there is no water available. Under the governmental resolution, we can drill one new well and repair the another. If these works are carried out, our problem with the water will be solved,' Yesayi Movsisyan noted.
Mayisyan Community doesn't have a centralized system of sewage discharge and a cleaning station.

As you think of your favourite cities in the world, ask yourself how many you remember because of their effective sewer network, their comprehensive state of the art rubbish collection service or their exceptional water supply system? The answer is probably none. The reality is that these public services are just expected in all great cities.
However, you will likely discover the most successful cities, the richest communities, the fastest growing cities, the most memorable cities in the world are those that place a high emphasis on their public realm – their urban parks, public open space networks and public plazas. Investing in well planned, meaningful public realm amenity makes good economic sense.
Great cities like Singapore and New York over recent years have placed large emphasis on great designed and well connected public urban open space at the heart of their cities. New public open space infrastructure such as The High Line and Gardens by the Bay highlight the Environmental, Health and Social benefits of investing in great public realm for our cities of the future. However, it is the economic benefits that often draws the attention of the politicians and decision makers.
- In town centres, a good-quality and well-maintained public environment increases the number of people visiting retail areas, leading to improved trading for local retailers . This results in increased rents and property values.
For many of us this is understood, but if all of this is common knowledge, why is quality public open space in our cities seen as a "nice to have", rather than a valuable investment for which the return is high, not just socially, environmentally and culturally, but also economically.
In our role as landscape architects and urban designers we work on many projects locally where we see these Return on Investments (ROI). None more influential than the Orion Swimming Lagoon and Parklands in the heart of Greater Springfield, located 30 kilometres south-west of Brisbane. Since its opening, Orion Lagoon has averaged 55,000 visitors a month. However, for the local traders the real success has been a 35% uplift in retail trade at the adjacent Orion Shopping Centre. Read more.
If you are still not convinced, consider how our changing global economy will shape our future cities.
A significant change has and continues to occur in our economy. The once industrial age has made way for an economy based on high level technology and creative industries.
If you have not noticed, something interesting is happening in our global economy.
"Uber, the world's largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Facebook, the world's most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory. And Airbnb, the world's largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate." Tom Goodwin - VP of Strategy and Innovation for Havas Media, NY.
And our cities hold the economic key to this new global economy – it appears that our federal politicians are making the same realisations. Australia is now focused on developing "liveable cities" that support vibrant communities and highly skilled workforces to foster the global marketplaces of the future. World-class knowledge based businesses needing world-class knowledge workforces are now unconstrained by location, and are actively choosing to locate in urban centres that support the needs of their workforce. They are discovering that these knowledge workers in creative industries, (young people with young families) are attracted to urban areas that offer amenities that contribute to an excellent quality of life.
"…cities are characterized by a sense of place, beauty in the natural environment, a mixed-use transportation system and a 24-hour lifestyle. These are the characteristics that will attract the creativity and brainpower that undergird the new economy." - Steven Roulac, futurist, The Roulac Group.
New urban cities such as the new Maroochydore City Centre on the Sunshine Coast are great models for where our future cities need to be positioned to maximise the new global economy. Cities designed around a vibrant public realm of well-maintained networks of parks and open space, civic plaza and waterways close to the beauty of natural beaches and national parks are essential to support public health, a strong economy, a sustainable environment, education, and community pride.
So isn't it time we widen our economic ROI perspective to put parks, open space and public urban plazas as high up the list of essential public infrastructure as sewer networks, waste services and water supply systems.

Duane and his deformed brother Belial find refuge in the house of Granny Ruth, who will shelter him in her mansion alongside a dozen of other deformed freaks.
Most often, when a sequel is done by the same director as the original, it is bound to be good (The Bride of Frankenstein, Evil Dead 2, House of 1000 Corpses) because it allows the director to further expand on his original idea of the movie, and not just repeat it. However here, I must say I wasn't expecting this much awesomeness.
The movie picks up the story where the first one left it, but instead of just continuing with the same scenario and just more killings, it brings into the story a whole new dimension in the story, introducing a whole community of awesome looking monsters. These latex-made monsters come in all shapes and sizes, forming what is one of the greatest monster bestiary in horror history, alongside Clive Barker's NightBreed (released the same year).
Some of the scenes are memorable, and when a photograph manages to make it into the monster's filled attic… it is a proper hellish scene that I still have trouble getting out of my mind. The only regrettable aspect for me was the monster itself (Belial) who is different from the first one, and unfortunately looks less scary.
In conclusion, Basket Case is a very impressive sequel, improved on every level. It is weirder, it is campier, and it has a hell of a lot more monsters in it. The movie is completely far out and never takes itself seriously, like an on-acid ride into a haunted house!


Mother of one and tea farmer, Ergai, 26 years old, lives in Yunnan, a rural tea growing area of Western China. In this remote and mountainous province, access to healthcare services is often limited and many children die before their fifth birthday.
For the last 10 years, Twinings has been focussing on reducing the mortality rate of infants and supporting their parents.
Yunnan province in Western China, is an important sourcing location for Twinings tea. It is also a very remote, rural region with a high child mortality rate and lack of access to basic health services. That's why Twinings has been working with Save the Children for over a decade on enhancing children's health and significantly reducing mortality rates in the region.
Ergai is part of Twinings' Child Health project. She participated in health awareness sessions conducted at the community health centre where she has learnt to prepare nutritious food.
Thanks to the training of village healthcare providers, improvement of facilities, and community awareness on breastfeeding, hygiene, and nutrition, more than 7,000 children have been directly impacted and over 14,000 caregivers, like Ergai, supported with better knowledge.
Ergai now feels that she has a better understanding of how to take good care of her little girl.
We now aim to reach an additional 5,000 children and support 15,000 caregivers, pregnant women, mothers and community members, so no children under 2 suffers from malnutrition. Indeed, in the region, only 2% of mothers are engaged in exclusive breastfeeding until their baby is 6 months of age, and 24% of children under 2 are underweight.
Our current initiative focuses on promoting and supporting breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices, in order to prevent infant deaths and to also give children the best start in life.
In addition, the project also engage with government to strengthen health systems in order to amplify our impact, from sharing learnings and promoting the model with the Minister of Health in Beijing, to strengthening the implementation of Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative in the region.
We believe that children deserve the best possible start in life and are committed to making this possible in the communities from which we source in Yunnan.

Sail away in Friesland along diverse navigational routes. These magnificent routes will take you past some of the most beautiful spots of Friesland. There is a wide choice of routes to choose from for example the Turf-route. This route leads you through the south-east of Friesland. Also there is the historical Middle Sea-route and the Lits-Lauwersmeer route between Dokkum and Drachten. Don't forget to enjoy the nice things on shore. You can anchor your boat easily at many places!
More and more bridges are remote-controlled from one central location for reasons of efficiency. As a result, you will have to berth your boat in full view of the camera connected to the control room. In that way the operator will be able to decide if a sufficient amount of water traffic warrants the bridge to be raised. In some cases you have been observed earlier, so the bridge master gives the red-green signal to announce that preparations are made to raise the bridge. In other cases the bridge master will wait for a scheduled bus service to pass. In that event you will be obliged to berth.
– Join the queue of waiting boats when approaching bridges and locks and wait for your turn.
– When the bridge is raised: quickly proceed your trip.
– In busy water traffic, lower your sails and mast, if possible.
– Act upon the instructions of the bridge operator.
The Frisian lake route connects the lakes and the typical Frisian old watersport towns with each other. These small watersport towns have a lot to offer to the cruising boat tourists. This route is suitable for all boats.
The Overijssel route connects the Frisian lake area with the north west of Overijssel and it's beautiful old fishing towns. In this unexpected piece of Overijssel you'll sail through a nature area called "Weerribben". This route is suitable for all boats.
The Groningen route connects north east Friesland with the province of Groningen. Through the cities of Leeuwarden and Dokkum you'll sail through a nature area called "Lauwersmeer" towards the always happening city of Groningen.
The 3 provinces route connects north east Friesland with the province of Groningen and Drenthe. Through the cities of Leeuwarden, Dokkum and the city of Groningen you will sail through the province of Drenthe towards Assen and Meppel.
Enjoy the peace, nature, water and the cosy villages and cities. That's possible in the varied area of 'De Lits' and 'De Lauwers'. The Lits-Lauwersmeer route connects the Frisian lakes and Lauwersmeer with the towns of Drachten and Dokkum.
This sailing route runs straight through the Hondsrug. The Hondsrug is unique by it's arise during the glacial period. With the ice came a lot of massive erratic blocks.
The historic Middelsee route used to be an important sailing route between Leeuwarden and Sneek. It's now a good alternative for the busy Prinses Margrietkanaal for motorboats with an easily folding mast. Maximum height 2.45m.
The lakes area in the south western region of Friesland has no less than five aqueducts.They allow you to sail around this part of the province unhindered, and offer the ideal solution for bottlenecks where water and road traffic meet.

Home > Success Stories > I Used My Career Experience to Find a New Direction
By: Maggie Lonsdale BA (hons) - Updated: 4 Sep 2012 | *Discuss
A career change is an exciting opportunity to grab life by the scruff of its neck and really do something we want to, something that's actually going to make us feel happy and fulfilled.
Some people know what they want to do from a young age, or certainly from when they leave full time education, and they can constructively spend their time working towards their Career Goal.
But what of the people who don't have a clear picture of what they want and are not compelled to work in a particular job? Those people have to be more in tune with themselves and pick up on signals that can help point them in the direction of career happiness.
Falling Into a Job After Graduation
Ellie Wright, 33, was one of the latter people. She worked in a few different jobs after leaving university and only recently felt like she was in a job that suited her.
Ellie told us, "I really enjoyed school and got three decent A-Levels. I went on to study English at Durham University. I graduated with a 2:1 and I didn't really know what I wanted to do. All my friends were planning to move to London after graduation, so I applied for a few graduate schemes. I went to a few interviews and was offered a graduate trainee role for an Events Management company. It was pretty junior at first, making lots of phone calls and follow colleagues around, but the pay was pretty good. I stayed there for three years."
After three years, Ellie was Headhunted by a competitor, offering her a more senior role and a decent pay rise. Although she had not been planning to leave her job, she was also thinking that she needed some sort of challenge, even though she was not really enjoying her job, but she had got used to it and the money!
She continued, "I thought, 'why not?', so I took it. I'd built up some decent clients and had gained some really good event management experience. The new company worked with some more high-end clients, including a number of blue chip financial organisations in the city, so I was able to develop a good network of clients."
Light Bulb Moment
Ellie had fallen into the trap of just 'doing a job', rather than using her working life to feel positive and work in a field that interested her. Her 'light bulb' moment came after a year of working for the new company.
Ellie told us, "I was working with a female lawyer for a corporate event and she told me that she was getting married. She said that she was getting stressed about the wedding as she didn't have time to get it just how she wanted. I said, without thinking, 'I can help' and she agreed there and then!"
This lead Ellie to a couple of other city clients that were too busy to arrange their own social events, such as new business launches and christenings, although the majority of her clients were interested in her wedding planning service.
Ellie said, "The business just grew organically and I was able to use all of my experience to do something I really love. Now I can't wait to get to work in the morning. "

PLAYA VISTA — Danilo Gallinari wanted to be clear: He wasn't off Tuesday. He wasn't kicking back with this feet up when the Clippers took on the Portland Trail Blazers without him.
He was working – on his left foot, which recently had been causing him pain.
"My foot was hurting the last week, so I needed to take care of this problem and now it's going to be fine," said the Italian forward, whose absence prior to Tuesday's loss was described by team personnel as "rest," and afterward by Coach Doc Rivers as a "very light" twisted ankle.
"I mean, I don't know about rest," Gallinari added. "I don't think that 'rest' is in our vocabulary right now. Just so you guys know, I didn't take any rest the last game. I don't know what the (physical trainers) told you, or what anybody told you, it wasn't rest."
Gallinari, 30, entered this season having been robbed of a third of his regular-season NBA games by injuries, including by hand and glute injuries that sidelined him for all but 21 games last season, his first with the Clippers.
Fortunately for the team, the versatile 6-foot-10 veteran has been healthy most of this season, which has been one of his finest yet. Gallinari is shooting a career-best 45.7 percent from the field, grabbing a career-high 5.9 rebounds per game and has played 57 of the Clippers' 69 contests.
Back spasms cost him 10 games from mid-January to early February, but otherwise he's missed one game because he was ill and then only Tuesday's action while tending to the foot … that needed rest.
"OK, well, it wasn't a rest day," Rivers said. "His ankle was hurting and we just felt it'd be better for him to not further that."
From the sound of it, the foot is better for having been given a game off.
"It's gonna be good for Friday," Gallinari said, adding there is "nothing to be concerned about."
Otherwise, he emphasized: "I don't need any rest, I'm ready to go. We don't need any rest. Days off like this are good practice, but we ain't resting."
The Clippers were, however, preparing for Friday's game against Chicago without forwards JaMychal Green and Wilson Chandler, both of whom were out sick Thursday.
CLIPPER LIMELIGHT
Anyone tuning in to NBA-related programming over the past few days likely caught a member of the Clippers sharing thoughts on their surprising season, in which, with 13 games to go, they have the eighth-best record in the Western Conference.

Lou Williams spoke of chemistry on ESPN's "The Jump": "We have a really good culture with the Clipper organization, with have some really great personalities in our locker room, and on top of all that, we have some guys who want to prove their names."
Montrezl Harrell was on Colin Cowherd's "The Herd," talking about some untoward interactions he's had with fans.
"When you physically do something to a player or go beyond the lines, bringing a loved one into it, or someone's family, you gotta understand, these are privileges for these guys to be sitting in these seats," said Harrell, making the case that a front-row seat doesn't give someone the right to attack a player.

And Patrick Beverley appeared on "SportsCenter" on Wednesday, telling Scott Van Pelt, "I just don't like a lot of NBA players for some odd reason."
"Pat was on SportCenter?" Rivers asked Thursday. "Oh my Lord. … I guess as long as I stay in my cocoon, I'm good. 'Cause I didn't know that. Good for Pat. He deserves that."
Rivers said he views the uptick in attention as positive for his players.
"I think in the day and time of what do they call it, their 'brand' and all that stuff? I think it's all good," he said. "Listen, there's nothing wrong with doing any of that stuff, as long as you keep the focus. If we lose who we are, we're not going to be a good team, and we know that."

What dreams have you dreamt today?
January 20, 2005 / Dave Taylor / Random / 5 Comments
Living in a college town with a university known for its sports teams — the University of Colorado, Boulder — is mostly a benefit. Sometimes traffic near the university can be a bit out of control, but we have a great bus system here to compensate.
There are some very interesting upsides, too, however, one of which I encountered just a week or so ago when I took my family out to the local "Old Chicago" restaurant for dinner.
The entire back room was closed for a private party and as we sat and watched, lots of University of Colorado, Boulder sports staff came into the restaurant and started setting up tables, appetizers, and piles of CU hats, information folders, and more. Then a group of big, bulky, athletes came in, all looking relaxed, pleasant and ready for some free pizza.
Finally, a group of younger, more anxious young men came in, with their parents or guardians, each of these young men clearly not knowing anyone but eager to figure the situation out and make a good impression.
I stopped one of the CU coaches as he walked past our table and asked what was going on. He smiled and told us that it was a recruiting dinner, part of their recruiting campaign for the Buffs football team.
The table arrangement was interesting: each candidate player was seated with their parents, one staff member from the CU coaching staff (and there were a lot of them!) and, where possible, one of the existing team members. There were a lot of big shoulders tucked into those tables, I'll tell you.
What made it all so wonderful an experience was the looks on the faces of the young men being courted by the team. They were all glowing with anticipation, excited at being able to talk with the coaches and, most of all, the current team players. Their parents were impressed but often looked a bit wary or overwhelmed, as I can imagine I would be too in that situation.
But the looks on the faces of those young men, they've stayed with me. They were realizing their childhood dreams, sitting amongst their heroes and being given the opportunity to reach for the stars.
It made me wonder whatever happened to the dreams I had when I was their age. And, dear reader, it makes me ask you what dreams have you dreamt lately, and how are you trying to reach the stars?
5 comments on "What dreams have you dreamt today?"
Lovely question. My own dream right now is to love and cherish my baby girl. She's six months old, and despite the night wakings, feedings, diaper changes and fatigue, this time is so fleeting it aches. My friends who don't have kids only think only of crying, poop, and pee — but oh, the smiles, giggles, and coos. The holding in arms. Her touch on my face when we wake together from our nap.
It's the best thing in my life.
Dave Taylor says:
Absolutely, Joanne. There's little as tiring and draining as having a kid (maybe having three counts!) but the welcome home hugs, the grin from across the room, the "I Love You Dady" notes left on the table, and the transcendent realization that YOU brought this child into the world, that they are, and always will be a part of you, well, that's indescribable and makes it all worthwhile.
Jeremiah Lee says:
One of my dreams has recently come true, that of becoming a full-time dad. Once Marion was born (May 31st) I knew that I wanted to be home with her, and on December 3rd we made it happen. Finances are tighter now than they were before, but the entire family is less stressed, and I love my new job.
Another dream is to have a band that I can write music with. The band that I'm with now has been together (on-and-off) since high school, and we're almost getting to the point where we can write music that doesn't sound terrible. I'm sure we will some day.
Genuine says:
Hi Dave…I'm a daddy blogger too and wanted to say Hi! I'm not too far from you. about 15 miles or so from Boulder in Firestone.
