Blandford: 235 years of Messrs Hall and Woodhouse
The Hall & Woodhouse name has been known in Dorset for more than 130 years and its origins go back even further. Tony Burton-Page tells the story of a Dorset institution.
Published in June '12
It may come as a surprise (although not, perhaps, for beer-drinkers) to be told that Dorset has been famous for its beer for a very long time. As long ago as 1730, Thomas Cox, travel writer and vicar of Bromfield in Essex, wrote thus in The Compleat History of Dorsetshire, the sixth volume of his Magna Britannia: 'Since by the French wars the coming of French wine is prohibited, the people here have learned to brew the finest malt liquors in the kingdom, so delicately clean and well tasted that the best judges not only prefer it to the ales most in vogue, as Hull, Derby, Burton, &c, because 'tis not so heady, but look upon it to be little inferior to the common wines, and better than the sophisticated which is usually sold.' Dorset has maintained this reputation for beer since the days of the Rev. Cox, and one of the breweries which has helped to do so is Hall & Woodhouse, a firm which is proud to date its origins as far back as 1777 – and the father of the eponymous Hall had his own brewery even
before then.
For the majority of its 235 years, Hall & Woodhouse has been synonymous with Blandford, but its beginnings were in the nearby villages of Dewlish and Ansty. William Hall is known to have managed a brewery in Dewlish until 1782, and his son Charles, born in 1751, branched off on his own in 1777 with a brewery in Ansty, a few miles to the north. Rural breweries were one of life's necessities in those days. Tea was not the staple drink for the thirsty English that it has since become, partly because at that time it was so expensive that the tea-caddy was locked away by the lady of the house; and water from wells and rivers was likely to be contaminated, so the only safe drinks affordable by the majority of the population were ale and beer. Charles Hall supplied his local community with these essentials for fifty years; he was also an astute enough businessman to be able to secure a Government contract to supply Ansty beer to the soldiers billetted at Weymouth in readiness for the expected invasion by Napoleon. He was succeeded by his son Robert, born in 1786 and brought up to help in the family business and learn its skills. After his father's death in 1827, Robert ran the brewery on his own for another twenty years.
It is at this point that the first Woodhouse name enters the story. George Edward Illingworth Woodhouse was born and educated in London in the early 19th century, but he and his family moved to the west country in 1838. Edward (he used his second name so as not be confused with his father, also called George) lodged in Stoke Wake and worked at Ansty brewery with Robert Hall. He was then only seventeen years old, but there was a wanderlust deep in his heart: after working there for three years the itchiness of his feet got the better of him and he set sail for America with an uncle. The kind-hearted and understanding Robert Hall, who had grown fond of the young man, released him for a year's sabbatical; but before the year was up Edward had had enough of it and decided to make his future in his own country. He returned to Ansty, this time living in quarters near the brewery itself.
The childless Robert Hall also had a soft spot for his niece, Hannah Dodge, who kept house for him in Ansty. Inevitably, Edward and Hannah got to know each other and, almost as inevitably, fell in love, eventually marrying in 1847. As a wedding present, Robert (sixty years old and with an eye to the future) made Edward a partner in the brewery, and thus Hall & Woodhouse was born.
Robert and Edward worked together for the next twelve years, until Robert died in 1859. He left his share in Ansty to Edward and Hannah. His younger brother Charles had died just before him and Charles's son had no interest in brewing, so it turned out, somewhat ironically, that Robert was the only Hall ever to take an active part in the firm. Edward and Hannah Woodhouse took over Broad Close, the Hall home, and it remained the family residence until 1915, when it became the Fox Inn after a fire destroyed the original Fox.
Over their 28 years of married life, Hannah and Edward had eight children, thereby ensuring a Woodhouse succession. They had learnt from Robert Hall's situation; and on Edward's premature death at the age of 54 in 1875, his sons George Edward and Alfred took over the brewery as partners. It was in this year that the Badger image was adopted as the company trademark, making it one of the oldest registered marks on record. Edward Woodhouse had greatly expanded the business, buying many more public houses and small local breweries, and he had moved with the times, bringing in steam power as a motive force. In 1882 his sons continued this growth by buying Hector's brewery in Blandford St Mary.
Ansty was still the main base, but the Blandford site was improved and extended. A third brother, Frank, joined the other two as partners. The business continued to grow so much that a new brewery had to be built in the closing years of the 19th century. It was almost complete when a huge fire, caused by a faulty flue, reduced the old Hector's brewery to ashes. Fortunately, the fire was spotted quickly by Frank from his home, the Old Ford House, and thanks to his prompt action the company's books and papers were saved. People flocked over the bridge from the town to help put out the flames – perhaps mindful of the destruction wrought by Blandford's Great Fire of 1731 – with a plentiful supply of water from the nearby River Stour. No humans or animals were hurt and carts, wagons and casks (the latter a surprisingly large item on brewers' balance sheets in those days) were dragged out of the fire's reach.
Despite this setback, brewing was only halted for two months, so close was the new building to completion. The first new brew was on 16 October 1900, and from now on the heart of the business was at Blandford, although the property at Ansty remained with the firm for many years. The old brewery can still be seen there, now used as the village hall.
The 20th century saw more expansion; breweries and properties were acquired, including the Marnhull and Fontmell breweries: by 1929 they had 135 public houses. In 1931 they purchased the Crown in Blandford, now the firm's flagship hotel. The Woodhouse family continued to run the company, with Frank remaining Chairman until his death in 1952 and George Edward's sons Harold and Rex becoming directors, along with cousins Charles and Ralph. The tradition continues: the current generation of Woodhouses running the firm is the fifth.
In 1936 Hall & Woodhouse became the first brewery to put their best bitter into a can, an innovation with consequences which could not have been imagined: the canning of all types of drink (including the soft drinks business) expanded so much that at one point more than 100 million cans a year were filled and sold from the Blandford site. In 1963 the Gillingham-based brewery Matthews & Co was acquired, along with 61 tied houses; the Horsham-based brewers King & Barnes were acquired in 2002. Today Hall & Woodhouse has over 220 pubs, from Newton Ferrers (furthest west) to Willingdon (furthest east) and Tring (furthest north). Panda Pops soft drinks was sold to Nicholls in 2005, but Hall & Woodhouse remains responsible for the Rio brand of tropical soft drinks. As for bottled beer, the Badger logo, first used in 1875, can be seen all over England.
The old brewery building is now more than 110 years old, so it is hardly surprising that a brand new one was needed – the original Steel's masher and copper boiler were in use until February this year. Work has now been completed on a £5 million project which will be ceremonially opened on 8 June this year, a date known to the firm as Founders' Day, for on that day in 1898 it became a limited company. Although the old copper and mash tuns will be sent into retirement, the beers will still be brewed with water from the brewery's own wells, as they have been since 1900.
The Hall & Woodhouse brewery is the largest employer in the town and one of largest private companies in the south-west of England. It has been a part of Blandford life for well over a hundred years and looks set to remain so well into the future.

– A bomb whose production dates back to the Nigerian civil war has been recovered by members of the police anti-bomb squad
– The recovery of the bomb stirred tension, even as police searched to ensure that the site of recovery is safe again
Enugu state was thrown into a state of panic, as a bomb as sited at a building within the Ogui axis of the state.
The Enugu state command of the Nigeria police force through its operatives of the Explosive Ordinance Department (Anti Bomb Unit) successfully recovered the bomb from a building site on Saturday, February 13.
Experts say the unexploded ordinance was part of the civil war arsenal buried under the ground in the war affected areas.
According to The Vanguard, Enugu state police command issued a statement by its spokesman, Ebere Amaraizu, saying there was no cause for alarm over the incident.
The command noted that it was an unexploded device abandoned during the civil war.
Amaraizu said in the statement that: "The Nigeria Police Force, through its operatives of the Explosive Ordinance Department, also known as Anti Bomb Unit has recovered successfully from a building site an unexploded ordinance, otherwise known as 'UXO', being part of the civil war left overs, buried on the ground in the war affected areas.
"The object was recovered from the building site located around NTA hostel axis of Ogui in Enugu, following its discovery by the builders as they were working at the site.
"It was further gathered that the builders on sighting the suspected object, promptly alerted the state police command operatives, who also arrived promptly at the scene for the evacuation of the unexploded ordinance."
Amaraizu added that: "the area has been rendered safe by the Explosive Ordinance Department operatives as the builders are busy doing their construction at the site."
He recalled that the state police command, through its spokesman had been sensitizing members of the public "on the need not to tamper with UXO when found either during farming, road and building constructions, amongst others, but to promptly alert the state command operatives or the nearest police station, so that operatives can come and evacuate the object and render the area very safe with their equipments."
It would be recalled that few months ago, there was pandemonium as two bombs were detonated at the WTC primary school polling station in Enugu North local government area by operatives of the anti-bomb squad. The bombs were reportedly planted in a Honda Accord car and parked behind the WTC primary school by unknown people awaiting the commencement of voting.
There have been some cases of bomb blasts in Enugu. On Saturday, January 24, 2015, there was a bomb explosion at the national headquarters of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, located at No 7 Park Avenue, GRA.
Another explosion was recorded at Eke Ozi market in Igboeze North Local Government area of the state. A one-year-old baby was feared dead and others wounded following the incident which was said to have occurred few meters to the divisional police headquarters at Ogrute.

Domestic Trends
2008 saw record-high gas prices, an economic and financial crisis, tightening credit, and dwindling consumer confidence. As a result, the U.S. market for cars and light trucks declined 18 percent to 13.2 million vehicles in 2008, the lowest sales level since 1992. Every vehicle segment and automaker, other than Subaru, experienced a sales decline. The severe sales reduction particularly affected the Detroit 3 (GM, Ford and Chrysler), resulting in employment and benefit reductions, plant and dealership closures, supplier bankruptcies, asset sales, product changes, and near-bankruptcy for GM and Chrysler. U.S. light vehicle manufacturing employment alone has declined by 37,700 employees since 2006.
For the first time since 2000, more cars were sold in the United States than light trucks. Sales of passenger cars fell 10.6 percent to 6.8 million vehicles, while sales of light trucks dropped to 6.4 million vehicles, a decline of 24.7 percent. Analysts are not optimistic vehicle sales will increase in 2009, nor do they expect annual U.S. sales levels to rebound to 16 million units for at least a couple of years.
The Detroit 3's combined market share was 47.4 percent in 2008, falling below 50 percent for the very first time. GM and Chrysler, on the verge of bankruptcy, received U.S. government loans, with conditions, in late 2008 and early 2009 totaling $17.4 billion (as of March 2009). Additional money was requested in February 2009 due to declining economic conditions. Ford has not asked for direct funding, but has stated it may need a $9 billion line of credit. After assessing GM and Chrysler's restructuring plans submitted on February 17, 2009, the Obama Administration determined at the end of March 2009 that the plans were not viable and called for more aggressive restructuring plans for the automakers.
Foreign competitors were not spared from the U.S. market downturn in 2008. Japanese brands, with a 39.7 percent U.S. market share, experienced a 12.2 percent sales decline. German automakers had a 6.8 percent market share, but sales fell 6.1 percent. The Korean manufacturers' market share grew to 5.1 percent, but sales declined 12.6 percent. U.S. light vehicle manufacturing capacity declined again in 2007 (latest figure available) for the fourth year in a row. Capacity is likely to continue to decrease since new investments from foreign-affiliated firms will only partially offset the Detroit 3's planned plant closures.
International Trends
The downturn in the U.S. auto market in 2008 was not isolated, as other global markets also experienced a downturn. This global decline meant the Detroit 3 could not depend on other markets to boost their profits. Emerging markets such as Russia, India, and China, are expected to experience increasing income levels and growing vehicle ownership rates in the near future, and have already received high levels of investments by global automakers. However, 2008's global recession resulted in a relatively slow growth year for these markets as well.
The U.S. light vehicle trade deficit remained the highest in the world; however, a 7 percent increase in exports and 9.9 percent decrease in imports led to an 18.7 percent decrease in the light vehicle trade deficit, totaling almost $79 billion. U.S. light vehicle exports have increased for seven straight years, with most continuing to go to Canada. In 2008, Japan replaced Canada as the largest source of light vehicle imports. Japanese imports fell 4.8 percent, imports from Canada decreased 23.7 percent, imports from Mexico fell 3.5 percent, and imports from Germany grew 4.3 percent.
With such low consumer confidence, rising unemployment, and ongoing difficulties in the credit, financial and housing markets, analysts are forecasting U.S. vehicle sales and overall production volumes in 2009 to be even lower than in 2008. The Detroit 3 continue to restructure, with GM and Chrysler working with the U.S. government on turnaround plans to satisfy the terms of their loan agreements.
Stricter fuel economy regulations, lessening our dependence on oil, and an emphasis on reducing emissions are all placing greater pressure on automakers to bring advanced technologies to the U.S. market, as well as other markets worldwide. Complying with new regulations will require billions of dollars in investments by the automakers and may require new infrastructure as well.
These demands are coming at a time when automakers are facing severe financial problems and many consumers cannot afford to pay a premium for the new technologies. The timing could also give international automakers, such as Toyota and Honda, an advantage because they are more financially sound to make R&D investments, and are perceived by many consumers as having the lead in providing fuel efficient models. Prioritizing and managing investments in the variety of technologies (i.e., biofuel engines, hybrids, plug-ins, hydrogen fuel cells, and advanced diesel engines) continues to be a challenge and gamble for all automakers. Worldwide competition is growing and it is unclear which technologies will be commercially viable.

Amy Winehouse watched over The Libertines
Amy Winehouse watched over The Libertines as they recorded their comeback album.
The 'Time For Heroes' hitmakers lived in a Thai recording studio to set down tracks for their long-awaited LP, and though they kept the setting "quite sparse", they always had a photo of their late friend in the room with them.
Co-frontman Pete Doherty said: "The studio was quite sparsely decorated, but we did have a front cover of Amy Winehouse over the mixing desk the whole time.
"The one constant, apart from John Hassall who was always there from dawn to dusk, was the picture of Amy."
Though Pete admits his troubled friend could be a "harsh" critic, she always inspired him and his bandmates - John, Gary Powell and Carl Barat - to work harder and do better so they could reach her high standards.
He added to NME magazine: "She was never a massive fan of my songwriting, or at least she never admitted to it.
"She was a bit of a harsh critic, but in a lot of ways we were kindred spirits and all the boys loved her.
"She was inspirational as well. While she was critical, it was because she had high standards."

Pan Prep -- Favorite Methods?
Decorating By PDXSweetTreats Updated 19 Jun 2010 , 2:42pm by cakesrock
When I started making cakes, I did the shortening and flour method (cocoa powder dusting for chocolate cakes), then I went to the Pam (no flavor) spray and parchment lined pan method. That worked even better, IMHO.
This last week I made a carrot cake recipe by Mich Turner (Spectacular Cakes book) and used her method of brushing on sunflower oil, parchment on the bottom, parchment around the sides, lightly brush again, and another parchment on the bottom. Sounds like a LOT of work, but I really liked how the sides held a nice tight crumb, so I tried it again today. Really liking this method -- but always looking for a great method to get non-crumbling sides.
What do you all use? Thanks for sharing!
I always put parchment on the bottom.
For the sides, I've tried parchment, but find it a bother, so I've switched from shortening and flour to just the Wilton squeeze on pan release. I LOVE IT!
I imagine that the homemade pan release is very similar, but with coupon, the Wilton stuff is cheap and the squeeze bottle is handy.
I don't have to run a knife around the edge and the side crumb is very tight.
Hi, Rae! I've had a heck of a time when I've used pan release (haven't tried the Wilton version, though). I was told to "immediately" turn the cake out and never wait more than 5 minutes to turn a larger cake out of the pan. But after I leveled the tops -- tried this on 2 different 12" squares -- the darn cake split as I turned it out onto a board. It really seemed too hot at the time. Do you wait a littler longer for yours?
I used to use shortening and dust with flour, but I bought Baker's Joy spray once to use on a Bundt pan and I've been hooked ever since. I thought I would try the spray on a regular 8 inch round and it came out beautiful with a nice soft crust. For some reason when I used the shortening/flour preparation I would always get a hard crust/shell on my cake. I assumed it was my mix, my pan, my oven, something. But now I know it was the preparation that made the difference.
Thanks, Annie!

Do you wait a littler longer for yours?
With the Wilton release, I wait the usual 10 minutes (no matter what size it is), or so, before taking the cake out of the pan. I flip it out, pull out any flower nails I've used, and I immediately turn the cake over so it's sitting on it's bottom. I never level the top until it's completely cool.
A month ago, I forgot a cake still in it's pan--it had been sitting for at least 45 mins.--so I put it in the still warm, but OFF, oven for about 10 mins. and it flipped right out.
I tried the Pam & Bakers Joy (with flour in it) and found that I got terribly crusty upper edges. That's when I switched to the Wilton.
I use the wilton cake release and then put parchment on the bottom. Tried the parchment on the sides once as per the directions in a recipe but it was too much of a hassle for my taste!
I've never had a problem with the cake release + parchment on bottom. Cakes pop out w/o having to run a knife along the sides as well.
I like the spray, parchment, spray method but most of the time I use my homemade cake release.....equal portions of flour, shortening and oil mixed together. I leave my cakes in about 10 minutes and flip. I have never had one stick using my homemade cake release. I go through so much cake release I started making my own and have had 100% success.
I use the Wilton cake release as well. Have tried baking sprays but not as successful as the Wilton stuff. I also like the bottle! I leave my cakes in the pan much longer after baking (I bake as a hobby at night and it always seems to be the kids bedtime when the cakes come out of the oven) and still have never had one stick with the Wilton cake release.
Thanks, everybody, for your responses! I'm going to try to Wilton release now, too -- it sounds like a winner.
I too LOVE the Wilton cake release
Honestly I use Pam for baking I have NEVER had a problem..I love it!
Parchment on the bottom and homemade cake release on the sides. Works like a charm....even for oil based cakes.
I also always just used regular ol' Pam with no problems.
I too LOVE the Wilton cake release
Ditto - could not live without it. Simply the best!

I recently got my hands on copies of Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle, Murder in Baldur's Gate and Legacy of the Crystal Shard. I haven't read all the way through any of them yet but I am intrigued by each in a different way.
Ghosts is nothing special. I was really excited when I got it but then I found that over half of the book is 5e rules and blank pages. I'd MUCH rather have Wizards release Eric Boyd's Under Illefarn Anew instead. I haven't yet found a concrete date for the adventure's events yet either, though that's only annoying because of a side project I've been working on - The Grand History of the Realms Expansion Pack.
Murder in Baldur's Gate is interesting in that it comes with a big ole map of the city but I was disappointed to see so much of the content they included was ripped straight from the Baldur's Gate game, some of which flew somewhat in the face of canon established by the novels. For example, there's a statue of Minsc in the city that citizens use as a waypoint and meeting place. Now, it'd be a stretch but I'd kind of understand if the statue was put up by Abdel Adrian in thanks for rescuing him but the source itself claims that it was erected for saving a different duke's life. Canon however, establishes Minsc as a strong but deranged guy who went on to be a cleaner in the Copper Coronet. Otherwise, I like the way that the adventure seems to play out. It's one of those 'shades of grey'-type adventures where you're figuring out which of the major NPCs is the least evil.
Legacy of the Crystal Shard is the first Sundering-era adventure that directly involves a Chosen, this one - expectedly - is a Chosen of Auril. The Campaign Guide is chock-full of as much detail as you could ever want on Ten-Towns and the tiny settlements south and west of it that are hardly mentioned anywhere else. Finally, and thankfully, although he is referenced several times and there are a TONNE of quotes from RAS's books, Drizzt Do'Urden doesn't actually make an appearance. Though a couple of people he knows do.
Overall, so far they read like they're set back in the late 1360s/early 1370s rather than the 1480s. They're less like a progression back to a better time but more like the Spellplague never happened. I'm looking forward to Scourge of the Sword Coast. Expect another blog post when I get that if not before.

All you Need to Know About Cookies
A. 1. Drop Cookies
Drop cookies are made from a relatively soft dough that is dropped by spoonfuls onto the baking sheet. During baking, the mounds of dough spread and flatten. Chocolate chip cookies (Toll House cookies), oatmeal (or oatmeal raisin) cookies, and rock cakes are popular examples of drop cookies.
2. Rolled Cookies
Made from a stiffer dough that is chilled and then rolled out and cut into shapes with a cookie cutter, knife or pastry wheel. Gingerbread men are an example (or any cookie made with a cookie cutter).
3. Icebox/Refrigerator Cookie
A type of cookie with the dough formed and chilled before being sliced for baking; also called refrigerator cookie.
4. Mollded
Made from a stiffer dough that is molded into balls or other shapes (wreaths, for example) before baking. Almond crescents are an example of molded cookies.
5. Bar Cookies
Here, batter or other ingredients are poured or pressed into a rectangular pan (sometimes in multiple layers), then baked and cut into individual-sized squares. Brownies and lemon bars are examples of bar cookies. In the U.K., bar cookies are known as "tray bakes."
6. Pressed Cookies
Made from a soft dough that is extruded from a cookiepress (cookie gun) or pastry tube into various decorative shapes. Spritz cookies are an example.

What are your thoughts about the following scenario:
- Exchange 2010 hosted in colocation
- 100 Outlook 2003 clients accessing Exchange from across nation
I used to think Cached was the way to go. However, it has some bugs. Most notably, it chokes on larger mailboxes. Now I am thinking I do not want to use Cached mode, but I am wondering about the resource implications of such a decision. Is it that big of a deal?

Here's an MS blog on how to estimate bandwidth requirements for Offline vs Online in Exchange 2007 / Outlook 2007

Personally, I always use cached mode when crossing a WAN link (with the exception of high bandwidth / low latency Point to Point links)
Outlook 2010 does much better with the performance of large mailboxes in cached mode IMHO
Aug 30, 2011 at 9:42 UTC
I've ran into an issue in an Exchange 2010 environment and Outlook 2003 users. Online mode in 2003 seems to run a little "slow". Deleting or moving items, doesn't delete or move them right away, leaves users confused and when they try to delete again, they will get errors saying the email doesn't exist. Which in turn creates even more confusion. The simplest and best solution for that is Cached mode, but that can have problems with OAB updates, and corrupt PST files.
Aug 30, 2011 at 9:45 UTC
With Exchange hosted elsewhere, another vote for cached mode.
Aug 30, 2011 at 9:55 UTC
Daniel - thanks for the tip. In three of our offices we have 10 Mb or 100 Mb Fiber at about 15ms into the colo. Could be good candidates for online mode.
Andrei - We, too, have the same issue. Microsoft released a notice regarding UDP notifications that seemed to help a bit.
Aug 30, 2011 at 9:57 UTC
With Exchange hosted elsewhere, another vote for cached mode.
That was my thought, but offline is not as reliable as I would like.

Daniel - thanks for the insight!!
Aug 30, 2011 at 2:26 UTC
One thing too that we love about cached mode is when people use their laptops at home because their email is available when they open up Outlook. It's also been useful when our main office with Exchange lost internet access and emails were needed for estimate on projects. Just a thought for redundancy sake.

Frank Frank Bittner
After having dreamed of setting up my own business for so long I finally realised that it is time to take action. Working at a desk bound job for nearly 5 years gave me time to reflect on what I really wanted to do with my life, and sitting in an office chair was certainly not on top of my priority list. During this time I also started training and competing in IRONMAN distance triathlons which involved nearly 30 hours of training per week. However, there came a point in training where I was frustrated as I wasn't seeing any improvement in my performance, plus I was constantly fighting against a chronic hamstring injury which led to other injuries as my body tried to compensate. This was a pivotal point in my life as it slowly became clear to me that sitting for hours at the desk had a detrimental effect on not only my training and performance, but also on my body. I started constantly working on ways to improve my strength, core and mobility, and eliminate any imbalanced movement patterns. Integrating these principles into my daily routine proved extremely vital as I developed a solid foundation in which I could then move better, train more efficiently and achieve results I never thought I could achieve.
The service that I will offer to everyone will change the way people think about themselves and about their body. It will help people at all ages to move strongly, freely, effortless, and injury free day after day, week after week, and year after year. Teaching people general postural exercises, how to organise and stabilise the spine, hips, and shoulders, and simply educating people about their body will be important pillars of changing peoples mindset and creating an environment for people to thrive and succeed in every way.

To read this article by learned scholar Dr. Andrew Bostom, kindly click on the link below:
Upon returning from a visit to Saudi Arabia late on Thursday, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan cited a striking example to illustrate his quest for consolidation of executive powers.
Levy dismissed political calculation as a motivator for Erdogan's hostility, arguing the prime minister's party had not gained a single point in the polls from his bashing of Israel. Instead, Levy attributed Erdogan's harshness to deep-seated emotion: "He's a fundamentalist. He hates us religiously and his hatred is spreading." [US ambassador Jeffrey's observations] Our discussions with contacts both inside and outside of the Turkish government on Turkey's deteriorating relations with Israeltend to confirm Levy's thesis that Erdogan simply hates Israel. xxxxx discusses contributing reasons for Erdogan's tilt on Iran/Middle East issues, but antipathy towards Israel is a factor.
…the sürgün [forced population transfer] phenomenon and all its attendant [discriminatory] features was not considered at all. If the sürgün was mentioned at all in the writings of the [Jewish] scholars of the Empire, it was held to be an insignificant, indecisive episode in the history of the Jews. The relations between Jews and Ottomans were thus felt to be both idyllic and monotonous from their very inception, no distinction being made either between kinds of Jewish populations or between one period and another throughout the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Kapsali conceals all criticism and tries to cover up and obliterate inconvenient facts… This is also apparently the reason for his utterly ignoring the Romaniot [Byzantine] Jews and their fate at the time of the conquest of Constantinople, and of the suffering of the others exiled there after the conquest.

Patients, families, doctors, nurses and technicians all know that a life is at stake when someone rolls into the operating room or intensive care unit. Here, ever-improving medical technology is essential in the battle for life and health. That's where Tazi is a critical part of the fight to save lives and restore patients' productivity. Tazi is an engineer in her medical technology company's critical care division. She's a team member working to develop the life-changing tools that health care providers depend on to monitor their patients and make treatment decisions in critical circumstances.
Tazi and her colleagues are developing a new technology for continuous glucose monitoring in the hospital setting—a device that is designed to eliminate the need for an hourly needle stick and instead provide a continuous feed that alerts health care providers to patient problems and progress in real time. This technological solution is intended to help clinicians accurately monitor blood sugar levels in the most critically ill patients, in order to stabilize and maintain the patients' levels within a specific range. As an engineer, Tazi meets with providers and hears their energy, hope and desire for the benefits of this tool. It fuels her passion to put this new solution into their hands. Tazi is just one of the hundreds of thousands of medical technology employees in our country. She's a skilled engineer who cares about people and wants to solve the health problems that weaken people and take lives. As a young woman from Michigan with strengths in math and science, she wanted to work on something that was tangible and would make a real difference in people's lives. She earned an engineering degree at the University of Michigan and went on to specialize in biomedical engineering with a Master's degree at the University of California-San Diego. Her preparation opened the doors to her medical technology career in nearby Orange County, California, where there is a thriving medical technology industry.
Tazi and her job are a critical part of America's economic future. Medical technology is America's world-class, 21st century design and manufacturing industry, producing products that save lives and creating jobs that pay good wages for white- and blue-collar employees. There are hundreds of thousands of dedicated employees like Tazi across America, each working hard to create better and safer innovations that change the lives of patients and create livelihoods for others.

"Surgery at Halton"
About: Halton Hospital Halton Hospital Runcorn WA7 2DA
Posted by Margaret
Anything else?
I was very unsure about Halton Hospital only because I had only ever attended Warrington but all staff gave more than required to put not only myself at ease but also my husband giving as much information as possible before and after surgery. The care in the few days I was there was excellent nothing was to much trouble everyone was so kind and it made such a difference to aid recovery and on discharge I was told to ring at any time if I had any problems at home so if you are asked to go to Halton in the future go you will be very happy you did.

But Eleanor is surprised to discover that one man's attentions are utterly focused on her.

The Best Of NYFW: Jill Stuart's Feminine Take On '70s Utilitarian Cool
While I love clothes, spend way too much time pinning shit I cannot afford on Pinterest and love assembling fake outfits in Photoshop for regular style features like One Times Three and Fashion Math, I do not consider myself a fashion person. That's probably why writing about my favorite shows at New York Fashion Week always results in me using and abusing the English language because I don't know how to do so in a way that doesn't sound ridiculous. For example, the headline on this post about Jill Stuart's runway show — "[a] feminine take on '70s utilitarian cool." I know what I mean – that the collection had some crunchy, granola, '70s vibes, with both an air of practicality and femininity to the clothing — but goddamn is it hard to briefly capture in a way that doesn't sound outrageously stupid. So I decided to embrace it. Please enjoy my dumb headline above and the awesome clothes from Jill Stuart's spring/summer 2015 runway collection below!

The internet held its collective breath earlier today.
It was just between Stoke City announcing one of its most high profile players would be taking part in a live Twitter Q&A, the surefire way to create a PR disaster, and a short while later when Ryan Shawcross sat down and flexed his fingers over the keyboard.
Unsurprisingly, it wasn't long before the hashtag #SCFCTakeover was trending. But as the daftness emerged, fears of Stoke becoming a laughingstock were soon quashed as it became apparent that Shawcross was intent on being as blunt and confrontational with his answers as his team regularly is around 3pm on a Saturday afternoon.
As wry as you like, Shawcross was both earnest and funny, mixing the serious and insightful to actual fans, as well as dishing out witty retorts to users clearly out to wind him up. Including teammate Jon Walters, who himself attempts to board the banter bus into Chuckles Town at his friend's expense.
Here are the highlights:

How to Fix the Face-to-Face Requirement
In the various roles he has undertaken through the years, Val J. Halamandaris has been a singular driving force behind the policy and program initiatives resulting in the recognition of home health care as a viable alternative to institutionalization. His dedication to consumer advocacy, which enhances the quality of life and dignity of those receiving home health care, merits VNA HealthCare Group's highest recognition and deepest respect.
- VNA HealthCare Group
I have the highest respect for them, especially for the nurses, aides and therapists, who devote their lives to caring for people with disabilities, the infirm and dying Americans. There are few more noble professions.
- President Barack Obama
Home health care agencies do such a wonderful job in this country helping people to be able to remain at home and allowing them to receive services
- U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chair, Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee
Home care is a combination of compassion and efficiency. It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton
Currently, 34 members of the U.S. Senate and 126 members of the U.S. House of Representatives have indicated their support for the Home Health Care Planning Improvement Act of 2015 (S. 578/H.R. 1342). Most recently, on July 13 eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives joined the bill as cosponsors.
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) is continuing to visit members of the Senate to build support, including meetings this week with the offices of Senators Pat Toomey (R-PA), John Hoeven (R-ND), Rand Paul (R-KY), and John McCain (R-AZ). Last week, NAHC's government affairs staff met with the offices of Senators Tim Scott (R-SC), Deb Fischer (R-NE), and Tom Cotton (R-AR).
NAHC in coordination with other organizations supporting the bill continues to pursue the goal of 40 cosponsors for the Senate bill and as many as possible for the House bill. NAHC is working with key champions in Congress to receive a Congressional Budget Office score of the legislation and technical assistance from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services so that the bill can move forward in the Committee process. More Congressional cosponsors would increase the likelihood of the bill being included in a future Committee markup so NAHC has set the attainable goal of 40 supporters in the Senate.
Please click here to see if your Senators have cosponsored the bill and click here to see if your Representative has done so. If any of your members of Congress have not yet cosponsored the bill, please use NAHC's Legislative Action Center to contact them to cosponsor the bill right away.Thank you to everyone who has contacted their members of Congress so far to build support for this important bill.
Summary of the Home Health Care Planning Improvement Act of 2015 (S. 578/H.R. 1342)
Nurse practitioners and physician assistants are currently authorized to work in states either independently or in coordination with physicians to treat, diagnose, and prescribe medicine. However, they are unable to order home health care services.
The fact that non-physician health professionals are unable to certify home health services is increasingly a problem because more and more people are receiving home-based care from non-physician health professionals. As a result, patients face the burden of first visiting an unknown physician in order to receive home health care.
NAHC strongly supports this legislation, which will reduce expensive hospitalizations and nursing home stays. "Outside experts assessed the impact of the bill earlier last year and projected a Medicare savings of $7.1 million in 2015 and up to a ten-year savings of $252.6 million," stated a letter in support of the legislation from leading senior and disability advocacy groups including NAHC. "This analysis also notes the potential to reduce beneficiary admissions to and lengths of stay in institutional settings under the policy change."
Previous reports on the Home Health Care Planning Improvement Act are available here and here. NAHC Report will continue to provide updates regarding the status of this legislation.
