Earlier houses, established 1915 which comprised the Bums House (in which the poet and Jean Armour began housekeeping 1788), Dr. John , McKenzie's House and "Auld Nanse Tinnock's" (the "change-house" of Bums's poem "The Holy Fair") were purchased, repaired and gifted to the Association by the late Mr. Charles R.

  • Quantitative Observations Offever
    Medical History, 1991, 35: 189-216. QUANTITATIVE OBSERVATIONS OF FEVER AND ITS TREATMENT BEFORE THE ADVENT OF SHORT CLINICAL THERMOMETERS by J. WORTH ESTES * INTRODUCTION The diagnosis of fever syndromes had rested on both objective and subjective feelings of warmth since antiquity, but by the seventeenth century a fast pulse had become the single most common criterion for diagnosing any fever. For instance, in 1692, Thomas Willis was quite explicit about the importance of this diagnostic clue: "First, we consult the Pulse as a Thermometer constituted by Nature for measuring the heat kindled in a Fever."' Three years later Friedrich Hoffmann explained the febrile rapid pulse as a reflex that occurs when blood vessels become obstructed, and agreed that "a rapid or frequent pulse is present in all fevers".2 Hermann Boerhaave made it an article of faith that a rapid pulse is pathognomonic of fever.3 He, Hoffmann, and, later, William Cullen, who tried to shift the pathophysiological focus to the nervous system,4 proposed classifications of fever based on their own respective theories of its origin.5 However, their diverse hypotheses did not much affect the bedside reasoning that led clinicians to diagnose fevers in most patients with rapid pulses, even in some who did not feel ill. Moreover, fever could be diagnosed in patients with normal or slow pulse rates, if their other symptoms warranted it. * J. Worth Estes, MD, Professor of Pharmacology (History of Pharmacology), Boston University School of Medicine, 80 East Concord Street, Boston, MA 02118-2394, USA. An early version of this paper was presented at the annual meeting of the American Association for the History of Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana, 4-7 May 1988.

Community planning puts local people at the heart of delivering services. It is not just about creating a plan or a vision but about jointly tackling major issues such as health, transport, employment, housing, education and community safety. These issues need a shared response from, and the full involvement of, not only public sector agencies but also local businesses, voluntary organisations and especially local people. The community planning partners in East Ayrshire are committed to working together to make a real difference to the lives of all people in the area. We have already achieved a lot through joint working, but we still need to do a lot more to make sure that everybody has a good quality of life. Together, those who deliver services and those who live in our communities will build on our early success and on existing partnerships and strategies to create a shared understanding of the future for East Ayrshire.

In she became the first woman elected to the Royal Scottish Academy. Phoebe was the sixth of their seven children. Phoebe's elder brother was William Richardson Moss, a keen art collector who owned a number of Phoebe Anna Traquair: 1852-1936 by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Traquair shared with her brother this love of art, including a particular fascination with the work of Rossetti and that of William Blakeand her style and choice of subject matter remained deeply influenced by Blake and Rossetti's art and poetry throughout her life. During the late s Traquair continued to develop her art, working mostly on embroidered domestic textiles. This was the first of four Edinburgh interiors Traquair painted between Phoebe Anna Traquair: 1852-1936 This was her first work as a professional artist.

A notable work by Traquair can be viewed in the Thistle Chapel of St Giles Cathedral where she designed the earliest enamel armorial panels over the knights' seats.

As we enter the darkest point of the year, the Celts believed that this time of year brought about a “thin place”, when we entered a time when the difference between Heaven and Earth became very close. The lights go on a little earlier, and the heating is a little higher, and often we forget that there is still much to learn from the realm of darkness.

  • Annual Report 2012
    The SHIPS Project - Annual Report 2012 A UK Maritime Research Project funded by ProMare 1 SHIPS Project Report 2012 ProMare President and Chief Archaeologist Dr. Ayse Atauz Phaneuf Project Manager Peter Holt Foreword The SHIPS Project has a long history of exploring Plymouth Sound, and ProMare began to support these efforts in 2010 by increasing the fieldwork activities as well as reaching research and outreach objectives. 2012 was the first year that we have concentrated our efforts in investigating promising underwater targets identified during previous geophysical surveys. We have had a very productive season as a result, and the contributions that our 2012 season’s work has made are summarized in this document. SHIPS can best be described as a community project, and the large team of divers, researchers, archaeologists, historians, finds experts, illustrators and naval architects associated with the project continue their efforts in processing the information and data that has been collected throughout the year. These local volunteers are often joined by archaeology students from the universities in Exeter, Bristol and Oxford, as well as hydrography and environmental science students at Plymouth University. Local commercial organisations, sports diving clubs and survey companies such as Swathe Services Ltd. and Sonardyne International Ltd. support the project, particularly by helping us create detailed maps of the seabed and important archaeological sites. I would like to say a big ‘thank you’ to all the people who have helped us this year, we could not do it without you.
