Remarkable lives: Stuart Baker-Brown in conversation with Jerome Carson
No full textPurpose - This paper aims to offer a profile of Stuart Baker-Brown.
Design/methodology/approach - Stuart provides a short biography and is then interviewed by Jerome. Areas covered in the interview include his trek to Everest Base Camp, involvement with the Time to Change anti-stigma campaign and his work on the Recovery Archive.
Findings - Stuart stresses the importance of giving hope to people with mental health problems. Individuals also need to believe that they can recover. He feels that the new Recovery Archive will help provide a more encouraging alternative perspective on living a life beyond the effects of mental illness.
Originality/value - Stuart is one of comparatively few people trying to present psychosis in a more positive perspective. He has made a significant contribution to helping change public perceptions towards mental illness through his media work
Dicrurus leucophaeus subsp. stevensi Stuart Baker
No full textDicrurus leucophaeus stevensi Stuart Baker Dicrurus leucophaeus stevensi Stuart Baker, 1918: 295 (Darjeeling). Now Dicrurus leucophaeus hopwoodi Stuart Baker, 1918. See Hartert, 1928: 191; Vaurie, 1949b: 249; 1962: 143; Dickinson, 2003: 491–492; and Rocamora and Yeatman-Berthelot, 2009: 220– 221. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 672024, adult female, collected at Rungarum (as on label), 5700 ft, Darjeeling, India, on 25 April 1900, by C.T. Bingham. From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Stuart Baker designated as type of stevensi a female specimen in the Rothschild Collection collected on 25 April 1900 in Darjeeling by Bingham. He did not enumerate his paratypes. Vaurie (1949b: 249) discussed this form at length and concluded that the type was intermediate between his beavani and Stuart Baker’s hopwoodi and arbitrarily decided to synonymize it with hopwoodi. Vaurie’s beavani is now considered a synonym of longicaudatus (see Dicrurus leucophaeus beavani above). This name is sometimes spelled steveni, but it was spelled stevensi in the original description and was named for Herbert Stevens.Published as part of Lecroy, Mary, 2014, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 12.

Dicrurus ater subsp. harterti Stuart Baker
No full textDicrurus ater harterti Stuart Baker Dicrurus ater harterti Stuart Baker, 1918: 299 (Tai- Peh, Formosa). Now Dicrurus macrocercus harterti Stuart Baker, 1918. See Hartert, 1928: 191; Vaurie, 1949b: 241; 1962: 142; Dickinson, 2003: 491; and Rocamora and Yeatman-Berthelot, 2009: 222– 223. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 671951, adult male, collected at T’ai-pei (= Tai-Peh), 25.05N, 121.32E (Times Atlas), Taiwan (= Formosa), on 6 April 1896, by collectors for Alan Owston. From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Stuart Baker designated the male collected on 6 April 1896 by Owston’s collectors and in the Rothschild Collection as the type of harterti; AMNH 671951 is the only specimen collected on that date. Stuart Baker did not enumerate his specimens but gave the range as ‘‘ Formosa. ’’ Owston specimens collected on Taiwan before the publication of the description would have been available to him. I therefore consider the following Taiwan specimens paratypes of harterti: Bankoro, AMNH 671922–671926, two males, three females, 15–23 April 1907; Kaisanko, AMNH 671927, male, 12 April 1896, Sanchifunniochi, AMNH 671936, male, 9 April 1896; Sankocho, AMNH 671937, 671938, two males, 20–29 May 1907; Sharaikisha, AMNH 671939, AMNH 671940, two males, 3–5 April 1907; Taipeh, AMNH 671941– 671950, 671952, 671953, nine males, two females, one sex?, 2–16 April 1896, 21 September–10 November 1896; Pankio near Taipeh, AMNH 671954, female, 23 September 1896; Fungshau near Takau, AMNH 671955, male, 14 October 1896. Other Owston specimens from Taiwan in AMNH were either undated or give no indication of when they came into Rothschild’s possession (including the syntypes of cathoeca, see above).Published as part of Lecroy, Mary, 2014, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 12.

Imanta
No full textImanta is a cultural support organization formed on March 8, 1947 in Edmonton, Alberta. Imanta was founded by Ted Baker and Latvian people previously established in Alberta. Ted Baker's wife Viola Baker, also supported Ted's belief in the value of a formal organization that would serve as a contact point for new Latvian immigrants. Imanta originally helped immigrants connect with other Latvians and settle in the province. Imanta has continued to remain a vital cultural part of Latvian society in Alberta. The Edmonton Latvian Society "Imanta" meets regularly, through many social and cultural gatherings and formal events. The Imanta resource network remains a vital part of Latvian society in Alberta today.Imanta 1.

Dicrurus leucophaeus subsp. minimus Stuart Baker
No full textDicrurus leucophaeus minimus Stuart Baker Dicrurus leucophaeus minimus Stuart Baker, 1918: 296 (Ceylon). Now Dicrurus leucophaeus longicaudatus Jerdon, 1862. See Hartert, 1928: 191; Vaurie, 1949b: 247; 1962: 142–143; Dickinson, 2003: 691–692; and Rocamora and Yeatman-Berthelot, 2009: 220–221. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 672036, immature male, collected at Trincomalee (= Trincomali) 08.34N, 81.13E (Lozupone et al., 2004), Sri Lanka (= Ceylon), on 22 December 1874 (not 23 December, as in description), by W.V. Legge. From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: The holotype is the only Legge specimen of this form that came to AMNH with the Rothschild collection. As noted by Vaurie (1949b: 247), it is immature and was marked ‘‘juv s’’ by Legge. Two other AMNH specimens that are undated are not considered paratypes. However, inclusive measurements were given by Stuart Baker for minimus, and such specimens in other institutions measured by him would be paratypes.Published as part of Lecroy, Mary, 2014, Type Specimens Of Birds In The American Museum Of Natural History Part 12.
