Bible | Crane (Isa. 38:14; Jer. 8:7). In both of these passages the Authorized Version has reversed the Hebrew order of the words. "Crane or swallow" should be "swallow or crane," as in the Revised Version. The rendering is there correct. The Hebrew for crane is _'agur_, the Grus cincerea, a bird well known in Palestine. It is migratory, and is distinguished by its loud voice, its cry being hoarse and melancholy. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |
Dream Interpretation | To dream of seeing a flight of cranes tending northward, indicates gloomy prospects for business. To a woman, it is significant of disappointment; but to see them flying southward, prognosticates a joyful meeting of absent friends, and that lovers will remain faithful. To see them fly to the ground, events of unusual moment are at hand. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

Cranes
Sarus CraneScientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Gruiformes Family: Gruidae Cranes are large, long-legged and long-necked birds of the order Gruiformes, and family Gruidae. Unlike the similar-looning but unrelated herons, cranes fly with necks outstretched, not pulled back. Most have elaborate and noisy courting displays or "dances".
They eat suitably sized prey such as amphibians.
There are representatives of this group on most continents.
The relationships with other members of the same order are shown below;
Gruiformes
- Aramidae Limpkin
- Psophiidae trumpeterss
- Rallidae railss and crakes
- Heliornithidae finfoots and sungrebes

Sandhill CranesA crane is the Egyptian heiroglyphic symbol for the letter "B." Also, the word "pedigree" comes from the Old French phrase, "pie de grue", which means "foot of a crane", as the pedigree diagram looks similar to the branches coming out of a crane's foot.

A crane is a tower or derrick equipped with cables and pulleys that is used to lift and lower materials. It is most commonly used in the construction industry. Cranes are usually temporary structures, either fixed to the ground or mounted on a purpose-built vehicle.
Types of crane
Ancient cranes
Mobile crane
The most basic type of crane consists of a steel latticework boom mounted on a mobile platform. The boom is hinged at the bottom, and can be raised and lowered by cables. A hook is suspended from the top of the boom by cables and pulleys. The cables are operated by electric motors (although in old cranes they were operated by clutches driven by the crane's internal combustion engine). This type of crane is easily converted to a demolition crane by adding a demolition ball, or to an earthmover by adding a bucket.Telescopic crane
This is a type of mobile crane whose boom consists of a number of square tubes fitted one inside the other. When the crane is deployed on site, an hydraulic mechanism extends the tubes to increase the working height.Tower crane
Fixed to the ground, this type gives best combination of height and lifting capacity and is used in the construction of tall buildings. To save space, the vertical part of the crane is often built in a well in the centre of the building, which is then converted to a lift (elevator) shaft when the crane is dismantled. A horizontal boom is balanced asymmetrically across the top of the tower. Its short arm carries a counterweight of concrete blocks, and its long arm carries the lifting gear. The crane operator sits in a cabin at the top of the tower.A tower crane is usually assembled by a telescopic crane of smaller lifting capacity but greater height. A self-assembling tower crane has been demonstrated, which lifts itself off the ground using jacks, allowing the next section of the tower to be inserted at ground level.
Loader crane
This is an hydraulically-powered articulated arm fitted to a trailer, used to load goods onto the trailer. The numerous jointed sections can be folded into a small space when the crane is not in use. One of the sections may be telescopic. A well-known manufacturer of loader cranes is the Swedish company Hiab (Hydrauliska Industri AB).Gantry crane
This is a large installation used in container ports and rail freight terminals. The lifting mechanism is mounted on a cross-beam supported on vertical legs which run on rails. This crane can move very heavy loads.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Crane (machine)."

The Gruiformes are an order of birds which has traditionally included three rather disparate families.These are the large bustards in the order Otidae, the equally large craness and the small railss and crakes.
The Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy which has been widely accepted in America, raises the rail family to order level as the Ralliformes.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | WHANGDEPOOTENAWAH, n. In the Ojibwa tongue, disaster; an unexpected affliction that strikes hard. Should you ask me whence this laughter, Whence this audible big-smiling, With its labial extension, With its maxillar distortion And its diaphragmic rhythmus Like the billowing of an ocean, Like the shaking of a carpet, I should answer, I should tell you: From the great deeps of the spirit, From the unplummeted abysmus Of the soul this laughter welleth As the fountain, the gug-guggle, Like the river from the canon [sic], To entoken and give warning That my present mood is sunny. Should you ask me further question -- Why the great deeps of the spirit, Why the unplummeted abysmus Of the soule extrudes this laughter, This all audible big-smiling, I should answer, I should tell you With a white heart, tumpitumpy, With a true tongue, honest Injun: William Bryan, he has Caught It, Caught the Whangdepootenawah! Is't the sandhill crane, the shankank, Standing in the marsh, the kneedeep, Standing silent in the kneedeep With his wing-tips crossed behind him And his neck close-reefed before him, With his bill, his william, buried In the down upon his bosom, With his head retracted inly, While his shoulders overlook it? Does the sandhill crane, the shankank, Shiver grayly in the north wind, Wishing he had died when little, As the sparrow, the chipchip, does? No 'tis not the Shankank standing, Standing in the gray and dismal Marsh, the gray and dismal kneedeep. No, 'tis peerless William Bryan Realizing that he's Caught It, Caught the Whangdepootenawah! |
