Is the mother reverting back to the wild, where she disposed of the feces to keep predators from discovering her babies? Or, could she be eating it?
The mother has her own covered litterbox and does not use the kittens' box. Also, we've observed the kittens attempting to eat the litter. This can't be healthy, so I hope this is temporary.
A. Well, the feces must be going somewhere, and it wouldn't be all that odd for the mother cat to follow her instinct to clean up after her little ones. Though it seems gross to us, ingestion has worked for the survival of many cats in the wild for eons.
I am concerned about the kittens eating litter, and the mom eating litter-coated feces.
In the wild cats do not use convenient and absorbent clay. Dirt or leaf litter is the substrate they use and a tiny bit of dirt or leaves generally passes through them unnoticed. Clay, on the other hand, can harden in the digestive tract and form an obstruction. I've had to surgically intervene and remove these obstructions in many cats. Consider switching to a less-edible and more natural litter such as pellet, paper or even shredded paper. Clean the litterbox fanatically and discourage the kittens from eating the litter. You are wise to be concerned; however, it is a natural behavior or instinct for a mom cat to clean up after her young.

Sharon, I dumped the whole mixture including whole cherry tomatoes from our CSA box, in a small baking dish and roasted about 25 minutes. Garnished with fresh basil from our garden and served with grilled kalamata olive bread. Served with a modified salade nicoise for an easy dinner meal tonight. Used sherry wine vinegar and we like the way the mixture starts off sweet to the palate and the afterburn from the red pepper flakes. Great combination! Thank you! Reviewed for Veg Tag/July.
Very yummy! I love the sherry vinegar in it. I used less oil/sugar/red pepper flakes and just did this all in the oven (but left the garlic for the last 2 minutes so it wouldn't burn). Great side dish.
Love love looooove this recipe! What else needs to be said? Fast, easy and super yummy. I've used both sherry and balsamic vinegar and I like them both equally, most of the time I omit the sugar and double the red pepper just because I like it hot! I serve this with just about everything and if there are any leftovers (rarely) I mix them in with eggs in the morning.
Enjoyed it as much as Ben and Jerry's, but how'd ya do that? In comparison, it magically made me look 10 pounds lighter. Made for Cook-A-Thon for Sharon123.
OOPS! I thought I had reviewed this yummy dish. My parents grow cherry tomatoes, and we discovered that one bush can make enough tomatoes to feed an army! I am always looking for a new way to fix cherry tomatoes. Hands down this is our favorite recipe, we never have any leftovers!
This is what I was looking for, great taste and simplicity. It looks stunning on the plate next to some green and yellow vegies e.g. wilted spinach and grilled asparagus.
I can't begin to tell you how much we LOVED this recipe! We're tomato lovers and I didn't think I'd hate it but I never thought I'd LOVE it. We all did! Even my 2 year old! This is very impressive in taste and appearance. I may lighten up a bit on the amount of onions. We pretty much ate around them because the quantity was a bit much. Other than that...absolute perfect taste! I used dry sherry and grape tomatoes and the flavor was incredible. On another note...I ate the leftovers for lunch and it was even great microwaved the next day!! I'll be making this weekly from here on out.
Had this a couple of weeks ago and Loved it! Will save for next year! Thanks so much for the great idea.
This recipe was mentioned in a favourite thread in CC and I thought, yum Im going to try this. Wise decision as it is delicious. I used the sherry and subbed Splenda for the sugar. Very tasty and looks great too. Will make again using Balsamic.

Workplace Pensions
If you are an SME, it is likely your staging date (the date by which you must have a suitable pension scheme in place for your employees) is close now. For those businesses who are as yet to take any action, it is vital you do not leave it too late. Generally it is wise to start planning for implementing a pension scheme, which is a legal requirement, 12 months in advance of your specified staging date.
You can be fined if you do not adhere to the requirements and the Pension Regulator is now looking closely at those firms who may not have progressed matters correctly, or on time.
Relevant Life – A new way for companies to approach death in service benefits.
If you are an employer, particularly a small to medium sized employer, you need to be aware of an alternative way of providing death benefits for employees, including Directors.
A Relevant Life Plan allows employers to give death-in-service benefits to their employees outside of a registered group life scheme. This type of plan could help high-earning employees who have substantial pension funds and don't want their death-in-service benefits to form part of their lifetime allowance. It's also useful for small businesses that don't have enough eligible employees to justify a group life scheme.

Employers Liability – 'Myths and Misunderstandings'
Apart from compulsory Motor Insurance, Employers Liability is the only class of insurance that you must take out if you have employees, but what is an employee? If you ask most contracting firms, they will tell you that it is someone who is on PAYE and is certainly not an agency worker, a labour-only sub-contractor or anyone self employed.
It gets more confusing as many do not know the difference between a labour-only sub-contractor and a bona-fide sub-contractor. Employer's Liability insurance states that the Insurers will indemnify the Insured (that's the contractor policy holder) against legal liability against damages in respect of injury of any person employed caused during the period of insurance in the territorial limits. Arising out of and in the course of the employment by the Insured in the business. It then however goes on to give you the definition of what a person employed is.
Motor Insurance – Fleet Risk Survey Reports
Insurers normally offer fleet rated policies on private cars/vans or commercial vehicles over five in total. Sometimes this is more expensive than the traditional individual premiums per vehicle basis as it depends upon the type of vehicle in the fleet.
If the fleet runs well and Insurers see low incident rates and a profit, it will not attract the attention of a pre-renewal audit. On the other hand, excessive numbers of accidents or incidents will flag up the need to have a fleet audit report.
Energy Efficiency – Building Performance Insurance
From 2016 all Government related building contracts must be submitted in a BIM process. The system must be validated and monitored. There is a laid down process for delivering the Common Data environment in an open BIM format. BAS1192 sets out the responsibilities for the future. The employer will have an EIR (Employers Information Requirement) the BAS1192 also defines the process and there is a responsibility matrix for the project itself.
The whole BIM process is the collating and sharing of building data including new software for clash detection. The COBie data spreadsheets give a mathematical outline of the whole building project. It stands to reason therefore that Employers (owners/financiers of the project) may well be looking to the Architect and all the subsidiary contractors involved for some form of Insurance Backed Guarantee to support the projections of ongoing running costs into and past the handover period.

A Lack of Temperance (Hattie Davish Series #1)by Anna Loan-Wilsey

On the eve of the heated presidential election of 1892, Miss Hattie Davish arrives in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a scenic resort town where
From Anna Loan-Wilsey comes the first installment of a new historical mystery series featuring Hattie Davish, a traveling secretary who arrives in a small Ozark town only to discover her new employer has disappeared. . .
On the eve of the heated presidential election of 1892, Miss Hattie Davish arrives in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a scenic resort town where those without the scent of whiskey on their breath have the plight of temperance on their tongues. Summoned for her services as a private secretary, Hattie is looking forward to exploring the hills, indulging her penchant for botany--and getting to know the town's handsome doctor. But it's hard to get her job done with her employer nowhere to be found. . .
An army of unassuming women wielding hatchets have descended on the quiet Ozark village, destroying every saloon in their path--and leaving more than a few enemies in their wake. So when their beloved leader, Mother Trevelyan, is murdered, it's easy to point fingers. Now that she's working for a dead woman, Hattie turns to her trusty typewriter to get to the truth. And as she follows a trail of cryptic death threats, she'll come face to face with a killer far more dangerous than the Demon Rum. . .
"A wonderful read from a welcome addition to the genre. This one shouldn't be missed--it has it all!" --Emily Brightwell

KENSINGTON BOOKSCopyright © 2012 Anna Loan-Wilsey
All right reserved.
Chapter OneIt was chaos. Several whiskey barrels had been left smashed and blazing in the middle of the road. Stray dogs fought over a pile of refuse on the side of a building. Despite the late hour, I had to dodge crowds of spectators milling about on the sidewalks, all curious bystanders like me. Dozens of women with placards reading We Serve The Tyrant Alcohol No Longer and 'tis Here We Pledge Eternal Hate, To All That Can Intoxicate marched in a loose configuration, shouting taunts. Several others actually brandished hammers and axes. Most wore sky blue sashes tied at their waist, and all were hatless. I plunged into the crowd of women. Could it be that some of the demonstrators had only a few hours ago waved and laughed at me from a tally-ho coach? They seemed frightening figures now as they began to sing in unison.
Who hath wounds without a cause?
He who breaks God's holy laws;
He who scorns the Lord divine,
While he tarries at the wine.
Who hath redness at the eyes?
Who brings poverty and sighs?
Unto homes almost divine,
While he tarries at the wine?
Touch not, taste not, handle not:
Drink will make the dark, dark blot,
Like an adder it will sting,
And at last to ruin bring,
They who tarry at the drink.
I fought my way through the marchers and settled against a pillar on the porch of a dry goods store. Several men, reeking of whiskey, leaned against the shuttered store window, the gaslight flickering on their shadowed faces. A gang of children, with their feet dangling over the side, lined up along the porch with their backs to me, as if ready to watch a circus parade. All eyes were directed at a squat, unpainted, wooden one-story building across the street, the Cavern Saloon. A small solitary female figure, as if on cue, appeared in a window, waving a hatchet above her head from inside the saloon. The barroom's sign, a yellow geyser of foaming ale, swung above the door in counterpoint to the woman's waving arm. My first impression of the scene had been right; the world had gone topsy-turvy.
"Home wrecker!" she screamed as she brought the hatchet down.
The windowpane exploded outward, raining glass in all directions. Instinctively I threw up my hands. The dogs scattered in opposite directions, one with two links of sausage dangling from its mouth. A bystander dropped into the dirt screaming, covering her face. A man in a top hat raced over to her aid.
What am I doing here? I wondered why I had ever left the comfort and luxury of my room. I never should've come down here when I heard that shout of "fire."
A shouting contest between the marching women and several bystanders began as the figure in the window was grabbed by other larger silhouettes and lifted from view. They reappeared moments later in the doorway. It was almost comical. Three men between them carried a nymph of a woman, and still she had an arm free with which she whacked her assailants with a cane.
"Get the police," one of the men shouted.
They made the mistake of setting her down. With a hard rap on one man's head and another on a second man's knee, the tiny woman freed herself and ran back into the saloon.
"Get out of here, you crazy woman!" someone shouted from within.
She reappeared moments later in the doorway, with a lighted lamp above her head.
"The righteous will prevail," she proclaimed. "Evil will burn eternal."
"She isn't really going to do it, is she?" I said out loud to no one in particular. Several worried faces nodded in reply.
There was a collective hush in the instant before the woman smashed the lamp to the floor and disappeared in a plume of smoke. As men streamed into the saloon to contain the rising flames, two women, dressed entirely in sky blue, emerged from inside. They looked appalling. Brown and yellow splotches covered their dresses. One woman's sleeve had been rent off at the shoulder; the other's hem dragged behind her. Each carried a hatchet in one hand and an arm of the tiny window-smashing arsonist in the other, dragging her from the burning building and across the street. A third woman in blue raced from the saloon and joined them.
Is that the woman I met this afternoon? It couldn't be.
For several minutes, my view was obscured by the temperance supporters who gathered around the women, shaking hands and patting each other on the back. Who is this woman at the center of the chaos and destruction? What kind of person goes around vandalizing saloons at night? I pressed into the crowd for a better look.
She wasn't what I expected. Guarded on all sides by her associates in blue, she loomed large for her petite frame, wearing a black dress and black turban hat with veil netting that had ripped in two places, and she was old, very old, with white hair and skin that was wrinkled and sun-spotted. Her high-necked collar accentuated a mark on her face, either a birthmark or smoke ashes, which extended from her right ear across her entire cheek. She gasped for breath, and her knuckles were white from clenching her cane. Her stooping shoulders gave the impression that her body was frail, but we were all witnesses to that deception. She looked up and caught me gaping at her. Her face was flushed and her eyes were piercing blue, but she seemed dazed and unable to look me in the eyes for long. She wasn't like any old woman I'd ever met before.
"It's the police," someone shouted.
Whistles blew as a police wagon parted the people milling about in the street. Two of the younger women immediately lifted the old woman easily to her feet. One of them grabbed my arm briefly for support. Only then did I realize, to my horror, that the brown splotches on the women's dresses were blood.
"We've got to get Mother Trevelyan to safety," one of the women in blue said to her companions.
Mother Trevelyan?
I nearly shouted after them that there must be some mistake. I watched, aghast, as three bedraggled figures in blue escorted my new employer down the street.
Chapter TwoI should've suspected something was amiss earlier that afternoon when I had arrived in town. A porter, his shoulder wedged against an overloaded cart, barely missed running over my hem as I stepped from the train. Two squealing children ran past me into the crowd. Countless invalids being pushed in chairs or leaning on crutches mingled seamlessly with the more mobile travelers about me. I stood on the platform, shielding my eyes from the late-afternoon glare, and stared at my fellow passengers. What kind of place is this?
I gazed up into the shadows towering above at the sweet gum and oak-covered hillsides, at the colorful leaves still tenaciously clinging to the branches, at rocky outcrops promising a few new specimens for my collection. I was already looking forward to my first hike. But that would have to wait. Brimming with the excitement and anticipation that always came with a new engagement, I adjusted my gloves, brushed my new suit for soot, straightened my new bonnet, and stepped off the platform.
Weaving through the flurry of one-horse gigs, buggies, and buckboards loaded with crates and burlap sacks that crammed the depot yard, I made my way toward the public omnibus. As I waited in line for the bus, I pulled out my book, opening it to chapter 3: Wild flowers and where they grow. I'd read two pages on the family Compositae when a humped old woman in an old-fashioned black bonnet interrupted me.
"Are you here for the springs?"
"The springs? What springs?"
"What springs?" The old woman cackled, poking me with the walking stick she clutched between two knotted hands. "Oh, my, that's clever, miss, this being Eureka Springs and all. Yes, very funny." She stopped laughing when she realized I hadn't been joking. "Oh, you really aren't here for the springs, then, are you?"
"No, I'm sorry. I'm not. Are you?"
"Oh, my, yes."
She pointed to a man at the end of the line, leaning heavily on a crutch, and to the woman in line ahead of me, wearing a very fashionable small bonnet of blue felt with a green velvet bow tied under the chin. I fluffed the ostrich feathers on my straw hat self-consciously while staring at hers in envy. "Most of us here are," the old woman said. "I've heard the waters can cure anything."
That explained the invalids I saw. They all thought they'd be cured by drinking water. The idea made me a bit uneasy.
"I've been plagued by the summer-complaint, and here it is November." The old woman stared at my face, then down at the book in my hands. "You should try it. The waters are also known for helping folks relax."
I closed my book. "Thank you, but like I said, I'm not here for the springs."
"Then maybe you're here for the temperance rally?" the old woman said.
"I'm here for the springs," a raspy voice behind me said. We both turned toward the lady in the blue felt hat. I could now see she wore a patch over her left eye. Poor woman, I thought. And to think I was jealous of her hat.
"Oh yes, I'm blind in this eye. It's completely crusted over." She pointed to the patch.
Her hand trembled from the effort. "An uncle had the same condition, but worse. Both eyes were glued shut. He looked like a sea creature, as if his eyelashes were encrusted in rime and barnacles." She shivered slightly. "But he stayed three months, used Crescent, Johnson, and Oil water, and came back a cured man."
"Will you also be attending the ladies' temperance convention, then?" The old woman pointed to a button on the blinded lady's lapel. With a sky blue background, which I would later learn was the official color of the American Women's Temperance Coalition, representing purity and heaven, the button read AWTC in black capital letters. "I'm not a member, but I've timed my visit here in hopes of attending a few meetings and the Saturday-night rally."
"I am a member." Crimson rising in her cheeks, the blinded woman lowered her voice. "I'm ashamed to admit it, though, since I'd forgotten all about the temperance convention until I read about Mrs. Trevelyan in this morning's newspaper. They can slander her all they want, but that there's a God-fearing woman for you."
"Amen to that," the old woman exclaimed. "Someone on the train read me that article in the Cassville paper. That's the third saloon smashed in a month. I hope I catch a glimpse of her at the rally. You don't think the police will prevent her from attending, do you?"
Slander? Police? And I thought working for Captain Amsterdam was a challenge.
"You're not suggesting that Mrs. Trevelyan ...?" I said.
"Don't worry; the righteous ... will ... prevail."
The blinded lady faltered in her reply as her attention was drawn to a black man in a rumpled floppy felt hat who stomped in our direction. He deftly avoided the infirm as he navigated the crowd.
"You Hattie Davish?" he demanded.
"Yes, I'm Miss Davish."
"I've a wagon waiting."
"Thank you, but I'll ride the bus." As I turned toward the approaching omnibus, the man stepped in front of me, blocking my way. "Excuse me," I said, trying to keep the alarm out of my voice.
"No, I'm to take you to the Arcadia," the man said as he grabbed my suitcases and hatboxes.
"Not this," I exclaimed, clasping the handle as he attempted to yank my typewriter case away from me. People in line turned to see what the commotion was.
"Are you all right, miss?" the old woman asked.
"Mrs. Trevelyan arranged it," the man said. "Now, if you don't mind?" He motioned for me to follow him.
I nodded tentatively to the old woman. After a quick glance over my shoulder at the people boarding the omnibus, wishing I were among them, I followed the man to a four-passenger depot wagon, parked behind a tally-ho coach. Hitched to four horses, the tally-ho carried at least a dozen animated women. The driver flung my luggage onto the top of the wagon. He stood by as I clambered into the vacant passenger compartment, then climbed into the driver's seat in front of me, all the while scowling at the boisterous women in the overloaded tally-ho.
"Every year there's more of you anti-liquor ladies." He turned his head and spat. "Like a horde of deer flies, never leaving an honest fellow alone. Why do y'all have to come here, stirring up trouble, anyway?"
"You're mistaken," I said. "I'm not an 'anti-liquor lady.'"
"Yeah, well ..." The driver spat again, and then sat quietly for a moment, a crease forming on his brow. "But, ah, if I'm picking you up for that Mrs. Trevelyan, I thought ..."
"Mrs. Trevelyan is my new employer," I said, tapping on the case in my lap. "I've never even met her."
The wagon lurched forward and we started toward town. Unlike cities that have convenient downtown locations, the train depot in Eureka Springs was situated at the far northeast corner of town, the closest parcel of flat ground the Eureka Springs Railway Company could find. Several minutes of silence had passed when the driver, pointing with his thumb behind him, said, "Ah, sorry about that there, ma'am."
His reaction to Mrs. Trevelyan and the other temperance ladies had added to my rising anxiety, so I was grateful to clear the air. I leaned forward and extended my hand. "Apology accepted, Mr....?"
He switched the reins to return my handshake. "It's Thomas."
The wagon passed a cluster of people gathered near a curving rock wall. I craned my neck to look back. "Was that one of the springs, Thomas?"
He nodded but was distracted. I was still leaning out the window when the driver started shaking his head. "I hate to be the one to tell you this, ma'am. I mean, it's too bad you had to come all this way to learn the truth."
"What truth, Thomas? I don't understand." I pulled back from the window.
"Working folks can't expect a lot from the likes of them. Someone might've had the common decency to warn you." Warn me? About what? "They could've wired you so you didn't have to waste your time."
"But I did receive a telegram from Mrs. Trevelyan, two days ago. See? Here it is." I pulled it from my handbag and read its contents for the third time.

"So here I am, at the exact time and place that she requested." Thomas brought the depot wagon to a sudden halt. As I was thrown forward, I grabbed my typewriter case so it didn't fly off my lap.
"But don't you see, ma'am," he said, twisting back to face me. "The lady might not even be here anymore. And she sure ain't gonna need a secretary where she's going."
Thomas's comment brought back the conversation I was having at the depot before he arrived. I wished I'd had a chance to question the women in line about Mrs. Trevelyan. They seemed to know more than I did.
"Then why did she hire me and tell me to meet her here?" I asked.
Thomas spat over the side of the wagon, barely missing the flanks of the tally-ho's lead horse as it pulled abreast of our wagon. The tally-ho's driver scowled at Thomas, but the temperance women, oblivious to the incident, continued to sing and laugh and joke. Several women waved as the tally-ho took the hill before us. I waved back, some of my initial exhilaration returning.
"That's my point, ma'am," Thomas said. "You shouldn't have come in the first place."
Chapter ThreeThe Arcadia Hotel wasn't at all what I'd expected. After traveling on the train for hours through empty countryside, the grand scale of the hotel took me by surprise. Nestled on the top of a mountain, overlooking "the Springs," even from a great distance, it dominated the skyline of the town. I caught glimpses of it through the trees as we drove up the wide carriage road that wound toward the top of the mountain. It was a five-story limestone building with a gray slate roof, a lookout tower, and too many chimneys to count. Verandas surrounded the second and third floors. From what I could tell, the hotel afforded a spectacular view of the village and valley below.
"At least you get to stay at the Arcadia."
Thomas, who wouldn't say another word about Mrs. Trevelyan, didn't have the same reservation about describing the hotel he worked for. According to him, the dining room served the finest food, the baths were unsurpassed, the service was renowned. They included a daily supply of bottled water, from any spring in town, on demand.
"... and there's no less than three different springs being pumped into the bathing rooms. Of course there's steam heat in every room. Even the servants' quarters have electric lighting and indoor plumbing; the whole works," he said. "There are dozens of hotels and boarding houses in town, ma'am, but the Arcadia is the best. And it's not just me saying so. I've heard it's as good as any of those fancy hotels out East."

The first Hattie Davish mystery by Anna Loan-Wilsey is a finely crafted portrait of America in the early 1890s. The Temperance movement is in full swing and Hattie is sent to work as the secretary for the leader of a Temperance group meeting in the Ozarks. When her employer is murdered, Hattie attempts to solve the mystery. She gets more than she bargained for as the list of suspects grows. This is a well-written historical fiction that places the reader in the midst of rural America on the eve of a presidential election. I am definitely going to follow this series.
Reviewed by Alice DiNizo for Readers Favorite It is Victorian times and "lady typewriter" (secretary in modern times), Hattie Davish, arrives in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, to work for Mother Trevelyn, the head of the American Women's Temperance Coalition. The AWCT is comprised of women who wish to rid alcohol from homes and ban its public sales. Now here in Eureka Springs, which is known for its sixty springs whose mineral waters promise cures for many ailments, the women of AWTC are in full swing, wearing their sky-blue color that represents purity and heaven, singing their theme song and smashing the windows of local bars serving alcohol. Local non-drinking bar owner, George Shulman, is furious with the AWTC but is he responsible as Mother Trevelyn turns up missing and then dead, found in a trunk of clothing she was giving to charity? Hattie is told that her hotel bill has been paid for a week but her services are no longer required by the AWTC once she deals with Mother Trevelyn's correspondence that includes death threats and references to blackmail and murder. Then Hattie is attacked at nighttime in an alley, a time of day when no respectable woman back then was to be wandering about town. What on earth is going on in this little Ozark community? "A Lack of Temperance" is a delightfully well-written mystery set in Victorian times that will delight whodunit fans everywhere. Hattie Davish is more than believable as a main character and in "A Lack of Temperance", local doctor Walter Grice, Irish hotel maid Mary Flanagan, AWTC members Cordelia Angelwood and Josephine Piers, bar owner George Shulman, the mysterious John Martin, the elderly Shaw sisters Lizzie and Lucy, and all other characters add well to the plot line. Mystery readers everywhere will love "A Lack of Temperance", some will recall Carrie Nation and her crew of long ago bar wreckers, and all will eagerly await more Hattie Davish stories from Anna Loan-Wilsey.
I enjoyed this glimpse into a subject area I haven't experienced before. Plus a whodunit to boot.
A great historical mystery period piece. Hattie Davish is adorable and formidable! I love her "only have a typewriter" persona. She's one to be reckoned with. Can't wait to read more about her and this timeframe.
Hattie Davish is a travelling secretary whose work takes her from place to place where she encounters murders and mysteries. In A Lack of Temperance, Hattie is sent to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, to work for the leader of a temperance union meeting in that fair city. The woman is nowhere to be found, and when she is found, she is no one for whom to be working – because she is dead. Hattie's orderly thought processes and her disciplined office skills stand her in good stead as she puzzles her way towards solving the mystery. But there are distractions from her work and her sleuthing as Hattie makes time to gather plant specimens in the environs and gets acquainted with the town doctor. Hattie is a most likable heroine, the descriptions of Eureka Springs and its spas and hotels are intriguing, and the historical details about the town and about the temperance movement add greatly to the overall texture of a most readable mystery. Highly recommended.
Good plot with a surprise ending. Loved the built up suspense and that the murderer was not revealed until the end.

Hospital trust say they 'accept concerns'
We fully accept the concerns raised by the CQC and have taken immediate action to address them.
Prior to the CQC inspection of Fromeside in December 2012, we were aware that staffing levels and the mix of skills and experience on some wards needed to be improved in order to enhance the level of care we offer. The very specialist nature of our forensic services and the need for us to ensure we have experienced and highly trained staff in this environment has and will continue to be a challenge.
They added:
We have now appointed an experienced service manager with significant forensic experience to manage the service. We have increasing management and staff engagement to ensure there is a forum for discussing any concerns and for action to be taken where necessary to resolve them.
The quality of patient care, and ensuring that we deliver the programmes of care, remain the priority of the Trust at all times.
Staff became 'tired of reporting their concerns'
Staff told us that shortages had become so commonplace that they had become tired of reporting their concerns as they perceived that nothing was done about it, but this cannot be allowed to continue.
The trust has assured us that they will be taking action to address our concerns and meet the standards. They are required to show us how they will go about this. We will return in the near future and if we find that they are not making the required progress we will consider further how to use our legal powers to protect the patients who use the service."
Report finds 'over reliance on temporary staff'
Inspectors say there weren't enough qualified, skilled and experienced staff to meet people's needs. Below are the main findings of the CQC report into staffing levels at the Blackberry Hill Hospital in Bristol.
- There was an over reliance on temporary bank staff, who may not have had the necessary training to undertake the full range of duties on a medium secure unit.
- Even though many patients at Fromeside were only permitted to leave the ward with staff escorts, staff shortages restricted people's ability to leave the ward.
- Patients and staff said that leave was regularly cancelled or disrupted, leading to further problems affecting staff and patient morale.
CQC warn health trust over staffing levels at Bristol hospital
The Care Quality Commission has issued a formal warning to Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership over levels of staffing at Blackberry Hill Hospital in Bristol.
It followed an unannounced inspection of three wards at the Fromeside Unit in December. The medium secure unit provides specialist care and treatment for adults with mental disorders, which may mean that they are at significant risk of harming themselves or others.
Inspectors found that the unit was failing to comply with the national regulation on staffing and did not have not enough qualified, skilled or experienced staff to meet people's needs.
Hospital to reduce number of heart operations following CQC report
Bristol Children's Hospital is to reduce the number of heart operations carried out after a formal warning over staffing levels on its cardiac unit.
It follows complaints by parents and a spot inspection by the regulator, the Care Quality Commission.
Inspectors found there weren't enough qualified, skilled or experienced staff and patients were being put at risk.
Six families are currently pursuing legal action against the hospital's trust after their children underwent heart surgery at the hospital.
Our health correspondent Rebecca Broxton reports:
Hospital boss gives his reaction
The head of the trust which runs Bristol Children's Hospital, Robert Woolley, says he's very disappointed by the findings of the CQC:
Parents: "It's too little too late"
The parents of Sean Turner, Yolanda and Steve, have given The West Country Tonight their reaction to the Care Quality Commission's report into Bristol Children's Hospital:
Health watchdog says service at children's hospital is improving
Hospital boss "disappointed" by criticism
The head of the trust which runs Bristol Children's Hospital says he's very disappointed by the findings of the CQC.
I was very disappointed by the CQC's findings following its inspection of one of our wards in the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, the paediatric cardiac ward. No family should leave the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children believing that we did not provide the best care possible for their child. I am deeply concerned that some families believe that we have let them down and will continue to ensure that we address their concerns and bring forward our plans to develop a high dependency unit.

I find myself with my earphones on playing my favorites as I stand in line or traveling. I am often asked about this wonderful app and have enjoyed delightful conversations as they too enjoy playing this app. I've offered
my phone to fussy young ones with the bells as they shake the phone and watch their face light up with not only the sound of the bells but that the bells respond to their movement. Download now and have fun.
not kidding, great app
Holiday bells is the best bell app on the App Store. What a delight to see that there is a handbell set. By the way, I am happy to see that there are 15 bells in the handbell set. Jingle bells, no prob atall. A single handbell, not a problem at all. There is one thing that I need to tell you guys. I am a voice over user. So when I get on the handbell set tab, or more tab on the app, then I experience crashing. but I am so not giving up on this app.
Simply delightful!!
Not only is it a lovely application that you can just explore and have fun with, but you could also actually use it for family gatherings or special events that are needing something special... and when bells like these may not be available to those that are trying to make these sounds a beautiful reality! So thank you very much and good work! ^_^

Bodhnath Stupa information
The first stupa at Bodhnath was built sometime after AD 600, when the Tibetan king, Songtsen Gampo, converted to Buddhism. In terms of grace and purity of line, no other stupa in Nepal comes close to Bodhnath. From its whitewashed dome to its gilded tower painted with the all-seeing eyes of the Buddha, the monument is perfectly proportioned. The stupa had a lucky escape in the 2015 earthquake and repairs to the tower are expected to be completed within a few months.
According to legend, the king constructed the stupa as an act of penance after unwittingly killing his father. The first stupa was wrecked by Mughal invaders in the 14th century, so the current stupa is a more recent construction.
The highly symbolic construction serves in essence as a three-dimensional reminder of the Buddha's path towards enlightenment. The plinth represents earth, the kumbha (dome) is water, the harmika (square tower) is fire, the spire is air and the umbrella at the top is the void or ether beyond space. The 13 levels of the spire represent the stages that a human being must pass through to achieve nirvana.
Stupas were originally built to house holy relics and some claim that Bodhnath contains the relics of the past Buddha, Kashyapa, while others say it contains a piece of bone from the skeleton of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha. Around the base of the stupa are 108 small images of the Dhyani Buddha Amitabha (108 is an auspicious number in Tibetan culture) and a ring of prayer wheels, set in groups of four or five into 147 niches.
To reach the upper level of the plinth, look for the gateway at the north end of the stupa, beside a small shrine dedicated to Hariti (Ajima), the goddess of smallpox. The plinth is open from 5am to 6pm (till 7pm in summer), offering a raised viewpoint over the tide of pilgrims surging around the stupa. Note the committed devotees prostrating themselves full-length on the ground in the courtyard on the east side of the stupa.

Welcome to the 8th Annual Jersey Shore Film Festival
Each summer the Jersey Shore Film Festival offers a captive audience of year round, as well as summer residents, seasonal visitors, and beach goers from New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia, cutting edge entertainment. With films from new as well as established filmmakers, the film festival focuses on screening thought provoking and entertaining films which will challenge you to discover, contemplate and react, in order to open your mind up to what the rest of the world is experiencing.
2016 Jersey Shore Film Festival
☆ - Featured Film
☆ Bradley Beach Memories
This wildly entertaining documentary by filmmaker Stevie Doueck, takes us for a ride down memory lane with a group of summer vacationers along the Jersey Shore in the quaint town of Bradley Beach New Jersey during the 40's, 50's, 60's & 70's.
Having settled during the summer months from the thirties through the seventies (with a tiny remnant of devotees still residing) this group managed to stay life-long friends for over a fifty-year period. Their friendship has stood the test of time, as they share in this documentary all those happy-go-lucky moments together, triggered by the simple acts they shared as a group. The ultimate question asked is: could those wonderful fun years be re-captured, and could their children, and grandchildren continue the tradition they experienced?

The Last Laugh
Genre: Silent / Drama
Runtime: 90 minutes
Director: F. W. Murnau
Country: Germany
The Last Laugh, filmed in 1924 is a silent film directed by F. W. Murnau from a screenplay written by Carl Mayer. One of the crowning achievements of the German expressionist movement, The Last Laugh stars Emil Jannings as an aging door-man whose happiness crumbles when he is relieved of the duties which had been the foundation of his happiness and pride. After being fired from his prestigious job at a luxurious Hotel he is forced to face the scorn of his friends, neighbors and society. Meticulously restored, this is the definitive version of a silent masterwork with a new orchestral recording of the original score.
"This is an amazing film!"
"Truly a classic!"
"You will walk out swearing you heard the actors speaking."
"A tremendous influence on Hitchcock, Murnau paved the way for many great filmmakers including Hitchcock, Renoir and Anderson"

The Tenth Man
Genre: Drama / Comedy
Runtime: 80 minutes
Director: Daniel Burman
Country: Argentina
Language: Spanish & Hebrew w/ English subtitles
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Daniel Burman, The Tenth Man, a well-observed comedy, wrestles with notions of identity, home and the intricacies of the father son relationship. After years away, Ariel (Alan Sabbagh) returns to Buenos Aires seeking to reconnect with his father Usher, who has founded a charity foundation in Once, the city's bustling Jewish district where Ariel spent his youth. In the process of trying to meet his father and getting entangled in his charitable commitments, Ariel also reconnects with his own Jewish roots. He meets Eva who volunteers for Usher's charity and he is inspired to come to grips with the traditions that once divided him and his father and rethink his own identity. Tenderly, and with a lightness of touch, Usher has Ariel let go of his old expectations and allow himself to be drawn into the center of a vibrant and fascinating community. This film was awarded the Best Actor Award (Alan Sabbagh) at the Tribeca Film Festival.

This film was awarded the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The First Grader
Genre: Biography / Drama / Romance
Runtime: 100 minutes
Director: Justin Chadwick
Country: Kenya
Language: English
This is the story of an 84 year-old Kenyan villager and ex Mau Mau veteran who fights for his right to go to school for the first time to get the education he could never afford. After the Kenyan government promised free education for children in 2003, Maruge, knocked on the door of a primary school on a remote mountain in the Kenyan bush. He asked to be seated along with the other students, first graders about 6 years old. Maruge was initially denied a seat, but the head teacher fought to get him admitted.
Full of vitality and humor, this film explores the remarkable relationships Maruge builds with the head teacher and his classmates some eighty years his junior. Through Maruge's journey, we are taken back to the shocking untold story of British colonial rule 50 years earlier where Maruge fought for the freedom of his country.
The filming process itself was quite extraordinary, as the children in the film – who are in many ways the stars – had never even seen a film or television set before let alone been involved in the filming process. Their involvement in the shoot was a totally novel experience for them and their enthusiasm and energy is captured beautifully on screen.

Genre: Drama
Runtime: 98 minutes
Director: Christian Vincent
Country: France
Language: French w/ English subtitles
When a feared judge of the French court, Xavier Racine (Fabrice Luchini), encounters a French-Danish juror, Ditte Lorensen-Coteret (Sidse Babett Knudsen), at a murder trial, their shared past is slowly uncovered. Understated and engaging, director Christian Vincent (Four Stars, Haute Cuisine) lets two narratives unfold, playing with notions of how we present ourselves and how we wish to be perceived.
The film casts an interesting light on class and behavior and how we're judged on both- the appearance and mannerisms of a young couple on trial are dissected by the jurors, in stark contrast to unquestioned reverence embodied by Racine. Vincent's film earned the Best Screenplay Award for his finely crafted script and Luchini's appealing performance the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival, as well as three nominations at France's Cesar Awards.

RSS volunteers fan out to do relief work
By Express News Service
Published: 08th October 2009 03:27 AM
Last Updated: 15th May 2012 11:55 PM
HYDERABAD: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and other like-minded organisations are involving themselves in relief work in the floodaffected districts of the State.
In the first phase of relief operations, they distributed over one lakh food packets collected from neighboring villages and districts in the interior rural areas of Kurnool, Mahaboobnagar and Nalgonda districts.
The Swayamsevaks said that since links to Kurnool had been cut off, material was being brought in from Anantapur, Kadapa, Nellore in the State, and Raichur in Karnataka. The RSS set up relief camps in Karnool town at Saraswati Sishu Mandir and G Pulla Reddy Engineering College.
Volunteers from Adoni cleaned the Raghavendra Swamy temple in Mantralayam and cleared the carcasses of the cows of Goshala and other animals, and handed them over to the police.
In Hyderabad, 2,000 Swayamsevaks went round the city collecting money, food and other material needed for the flood-affected. Two donation collection centres have come up at the State headquarters of RSS and the Keshav Memorial School. Every day four truckloads of food material, two trucksloads of other essentials are dispatched to flood-affected areas. Besides, 200 volunteers from the city are engaged in sanitation work there.
The all-India secretary of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) visited the affected areas of Kurnool and met the volunteers engaged in relief work there. RSS State president TV Deshmukh and Seva Bharati organising secretary Vidwan Reddy have visited the relief camp at Gadwal in Mahaboobnagar district and met the volunteers there.
In the second phase of relief operations, the RSS surveyed the affected areas of Mahaboobnagar district and found that 58 villages were badly destroyed and 16,000 families were devastated.
The organisation decided to supply kits to 5,000 families to enable them to lead a normal life. Each kit consists of kitchen utensils, foodgrains and other material of daily use.
In Kurnool district, 250 to 300 villages are still under water hampering their survey. In the third and final phase of operations, the RSS plans to rehabilitate devastated people and reconstruct destroyed villages.
"We have identified various means of rehabilitation of people like supplying them implements required for their occupation,'' Swayamsevaks said, adding that they were involving several voluntary organisations.

It's been a good year for TV – and by TV, we mean those serialized shows you probably watch on your computer or smartphone. Regardless of the technology you use to watch it, however, television has been growing bigger, better and more daring in recent years, to the point that it's the go-to format for people who want to tell a story in greater depth than they could in a movie.

There's a new girl coming to Broadway.
Cast by the country icon herself, Zooey Deschanel will play Loretta Lynn in an upcoming stage musical about the singer's life, Coal Miner's Daughter, producers for the Broadway-bound production have announced.
Lynn personally introduced Deschanel Thursday night on the stage of Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium during Opry Country Classics. The two then sang "Coal Miner's Daughter."
"It's a long way from Butcher Holler to Broadway in New York City. I never imagined I'd see Coal Miner's Daughter on a movie screen, and now I can't believe it's going to be on a stage for people to see," Lynn, 77, said in a statement.

Cooney Miner Inducted into American Academy of Nursing 2013 Class of Fellows
Dr. Dianne Cooney Miner, Dean of the Wegmans School of Nursing at St. John Fisher College, was inducted into the American Academy of Nursing's 2013 Class of Fellows on Saturday, October 19. The induction ceremony took place in Washington, DC, during the Academy's 40th annual meeting.
Cooney Miner, the founding dean of the Wegmans School of Nursing, is one of 172 esteemed nurse leaders who was recognized, and one of only 10 from New York State. The Academy is composed of more than 2,000 nurse leaders in education, management, practice, policy, and research. The Academy Fellows include hospital and government administrators, college deans, and renowned scientific researchers. With this new class, Fellows represent all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 19 countries.
"I am profoundly grateful to the Academy for this recognition, to the many faculty, colleagues, and friends who have helped me develop as a clinician, educator, and activist; and to my family who have always been so proud of 'my wife, my mom, the nurse,'" said Cooney Miner.
Selection criteria include evidence of significant contributions to nursing and health care and sponsorship by two current Academy Fellows. Applicants are reviewed by a panel comprised of elected and appointed Fellows, and selection is based, in part, on the extent the nominee's nursing career has influenced health policies and the health and wellbeing of all.
Cooney Miner's selection was based on a career that reflects substantive accomplishments related to influencing and improving patient care through the vehicle of nursing education. She has helped to develop an innovative model to accomplish legislative change to advance the education of registered nurses, known as the New York State "BS in 10," and has worked as an activist to influence stakeholders for legislative change in New York and across the country. She is a founding board member of ANA NY, a new state affiliate of the American Nurses Association and the Institute for Nursing – New York State Nursing Workforce Center.
Working to overcome barriers to nurse practitioner practice, Cooney Miner secured funds for a Nurse Managed Care Center to provide primary care to vulnerable populations in Rochester. Most recently, she is the founding co-editor of the DNP Forum, the first online journal focused on the dissemination of DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) clinical practice scholarship.
Cooney Miner serves on the board of the Children's Agenda and the Children's Institute. In addition, she is the U.S. representative to UDINE, a group of European Union faculty working to standardize nursing education in the Union. She has been recognized locally for her leadership — as a finalist for the Athena Women's Leadership award and as a winner of the Rochester Business Alliance health care leadership award. Her research interests focus on high-performance work teams, and she is currently a Co-Principal Investigator on a study on interdisciplinary team performance with the Veterans Administration and Brown University.
