As you know, Better Software Group team is active on the digital TV market. We work with global business partners, analyze precisely market trends. Under this link you will find several thematic analyzes and reports. The analysis concludes with an important conclusion: the television slept online revolution and lost the generation of Millenials and tech geeks. It's hard to disagree with BI Intelligence report The Future of TV 2017 that traditional TV landscape was linear. There was set time and on a set home network. TV landscape 2017 is highly different. New media sources continue to gain a larger share of watchers attention. Let's note that other media includes time-shifted TV, TV-connected devices and al lis based on Internet and digital channels. Consumers of all targets, mainly Millenials, are watching less traditional TV. What is really worse, there is an ever evolving trend traditional TV market audiences are getting older year by year. Is TV as a service and a form of spending a time is dying? Of course not. Just traditional definitions are changing and evolving. For more and more people, especially group defined ans Millenials, TV is anything we can watch. On any mobile device like smartphone, tablet, laptop or console. Any time, any place. The new TV market is absolutely social, digital, cross-platform, multi-screen and multi-channel. I guess no one doubts, modern TV is on every device. So what is the future of this popular entertainment, information channel? Please, find below some attempts to present several perspectives.
TV and Internet connected devices
First of all, some important factors affecting the market situation. The most important of these is the Internet and the number of TV-connected devices that give us access to television and online viewing on the chosen form of the screen. More and more people own and use to stream video content to their TV set. These devices with streaming video services, provide consumers with a new method to watch video on their television sets. Nielsen conducted an analysis to determine how many U.S. homes own various devices and how data has trended over time. Over 23% of TV homes own a digital streaming device. Which brands are the most popular? Roku, Google Chromecast, Apple, Amazon Fire TV. In addition to the four brand-specific devices, nearly 11% of homes have streaming players from other brands and PC/tablets/smartphones connected to their television sets. Smart TV's functions like multimedia are built into television sets and are connected to broadband connections, which has opened the streaming video content world to many more people than in previous years. When it comes to video game consoles, penetration has remained flat on a year-over-year basis. With 42% of homes owning a Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation. The major device brands (including older and newer generation platforms) have similar levels of household penetration.
By the end of 2020 there are forecasts to be 260 million installed devices attached to the Internet and able to deliver apps to TVs, according to the latest NPD Connected Intelligence analyze. This represents 31 percent growth in TV-connected devices over the forecast period, led by smart TVs and streaming media players. In fact, smart TVs will drive nearly half (48 percent) of installed internet-connected TV device growth through 2020, while streaming media players will contribute 31 percent of ownership growth. The TV-Connected Device Forecast looks to shed light on how new generation smart TVs and evolved streaming media boxes and sticks will shape home entertainment. According to the forecast, by 2018 household penetration of smart TVs will achieve relative parity with streaming media players as platforms delivering apps to TVs market.

Mobile video traffic growth
In 2016, global mobile video traffic amounted to 4,375,000 terabytes per month. Till the end of 2017 is expected to almost double to 7,225,123 TB per month, according to the Statista market research. Mobile data traffic is increasing at a huge rate. This thesis is confirmed by another market analyse. A study from Cisco confirms that by 2020, video will account for a staggering 75% of that traffic. That's up from 55% in 2015. The statistics for North America are even higher, coming in at over 77%. Cisco's annual Visual Networking Index forecast (VNI) states that mobile data traffic has grown 400-million-fold over the past 15 years, and the increased number of users, mobile devices, and innovations in technology are driving mobile video consumption through the roof. The study predicts that by 2020, there will be more than 11.6 billion mobile connected devices, exceeding the world's projected population at that time (7.8 billion). That's going to have a huge impact on video traffic. Mobile video traffic predictions look more like this:
- By 2020, over 75% of global mobile data traffic will be video content
- In U.S. video will account for 77% of total mobile data traffic by 2020
- Smartphones will account for 81% of total mobile traffic by 2020 – up from 76% in 2015
- 4G connectivity share is predicted to surpass 2G by 2018 and 3G by 2020
- By 2020, there will be 432M global WiFi hotspots – up from 64M in 2015
- 7 trillion video clips will be uploaded in 2020 – 2.5 daily video clips for every person
- Global mobile data traffic will reach 30.6 exabytes per month in 2020, up from 3.7 exabytes in 2015
- Video will represent 82% of all IP traffic in 2021, including consumer and business IP traffic, amounting to a million minutes of video transmitted through networks every second. Internet video, IP video-on-demand, videos exchanged through file sharing, video-streamed gaming, and video conferencing are factored into this estimate. Last year, video accounted for 73% of global IP traffic.

Mobile devices and mobile Internet penetration growth
As of February 2017, mobile devices accounted for 49.74 percent of web page views worldwide, according to the Statista market research. The Americas and Europe have the highest mobile broadband subscription penetration rate, around 78.2 percent and 76.6 percent respectively. The global average stood at nearly 50 percent in 2016. There are sevaral trends in the market, and it's confirmed by WeAreSocial statement:
- More than half the world now uses a smartphone
- Almost two-thirds of the world's population now has a mobile phone
- More than half of the world's web traffic now comes from mobile phones
- More than half of all mobile connections around the world are now 'broadband
- More than one in five of the world's population shopped online in the past 30 days
Online video consumption is one of the most popular Internet activities worldwide. According to recent industry data, online video penetration has is near universal in a number of leading online markets with Saudi Arabia leading at a 98 percent online video usage reach as of January 2017. In 2020, the number of digital video viewers in the US is projected to surpass 232 million. The most regularly watched categories of YouTube audiences in the US were videos uploaded by people or brands. Online video viewing will rise 20% in 2017, according to Zenith's Online Video Forecasts 2017. Global consumers will spend an average of 47.4 minutes a day viewing videos online this year, up from 39.6 minutes in 2016. This increase will be driven by a 35% increase in viewing on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) to 28.8 minutes a day, while viewing on fixed devices (PC, laptop, smart TV) will rise by just 2% to 18.6 minutes a day.
2017 will be the peak year of fixed-device video. Global consumers will spend an average of 19 minutes a day viewing. Viewing on smart TVs continues to rise, but not rapidly enough to compensate for the decline in viewing on desktops and laptops. Consumers just shift their attention to mobile devices. According to the Zenith's team of analysts viewing on fixed devices to shrink 1% in 2018 and 2% in 2019. Mobile video viewing – averaging 29 minutes a day this year – will grow 25% in 2018 and 29% in 2019, driven by the spread of mobile devices, improved displays and faster mobile data connections. By 2019, mobile devices will account for 72% of all online video viewing, up from 61% this year.
Picture 3: Devices in US households by penetration (BI Intelligence, Nielsen)
You should pay attention to the changing landscape in the area of mobile content (application) and dynamic growth of the video category. A video that includes the digital tv category is much more popular than the social networking area. For the last few years, Netflix and premium video streaming services were viewed as potential disruptors to traditional pay-TV. This characterization is a better fit with Netflix's investments in original content. This strategy should still lead to subscriber and engagement growth as primary consumption channels shift. However, with limited libraries, premium subscription services will find it difficult to replace the existing TV paradigm by themselves. Balance of power will shift in the coming years thanks to the growth of short-form and live video on platforms like YouTube, Facebook or even Snapchat.
Picture 4: Mobile traffic by application (BI Intelligence, Ericsson Mobility Report)
Mobile video streaming
According to research by mobile app analytics firm AppAnnie, in several European markets both the number of users on video streaming apps, as well as the data usage skyrocketed. Ericsson's most recent mobility report seems to concur, as their forecast is that as much of 70 percent of mobile data traffic will be video in 2021. That's a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 55% from 2016. Younger generations are already massively consuming video content through mobile devices and it's not limited to short-form content like 5 minute YouTube clips: 62% of 18 to 24-year olds reported watching TV on their mobile devices. Furthermore, the hours per week they spend watching these videos is approaching that of free online video platforms like YouTube, Vine and Twitch. Together, the time spent on social and free video already eclipses the time spent on traditional cable- and satellite TV according to the Knect365.
Live streams and mobile video makes the connection with other media such as television more compelling. Since mobile is location-sensitive, advertisers are learning that combining the small screen with larger screens to target specific messages provides a higher return on ad spend. Mobile could become the catalyst to increase linear TV ad spend based on behavior. Videology has seen a 273% increase in spending on linear TV advertising campaigns and an 840% increase in the number of linear TV impressions available to be bought and sold programmatically. Netflix and Amazon TV, two of the most popular providers for videos on demand, are already providing video streaming in 4K and a large number of other broadcasters are following in their footsteps. The largest video platform available, YouTube, is also distributing 4K videos, so this trend is definitely not going anywhere anytime soon. According to the Hub Research only 13 % people say that favourite or preffered network brands are a bif factor in their desicion about what to watch on the screen. Less than half can identify the original network of a show or movie that aired on the SVOD channel. As PCMAG says, streaming services started as an add-on to DVD and digital download offerings with a trickle of second-run movies and TV shows. But speedier internet connections, an abundance of dedicated streaming video devices, and an explosion of mobile video has allowed services like Netflix and Amazon to bulk up streaming libraries, invest millions in original content, and give traditional pay TV providers a run for their money. You, as a consumer, don't need special, dedicated equipment for watching video streaming services. You just need smartphone, tablet o rany any other mobile device Internet-connected.

Social networks video channels
Globally, 47.4 minutes of online video is watched daily in 2017. It's a 20% year-over-year increase, driven primarily by mobile. Viewing times will reach 28.8 minutes per day, a 35% increase from 2016. As we can notice in DreamGrow content report, in 2017 social media has become the crucial part of digital communications strategies. Social media delivers measurable results in sales, leads, and branding. It also enables to reach a large number of people at a low cost. The world of social media networks is dynamic and in constant change. Visual and video content is more than 40 times more likely to get shared on social media than other types of content, according to the HubSpot market research. That's why there are 1.5 billion logged-in Youtube monthly active users visiting the website at least once a month. Social networking statistics are amazing. Just look (by WordStream):
- 82% of Twitter users watch video content on Twitter
- YouTube has over a billion users, almost one-third of total internet users.
- 45% of people watch more than an hour of Facebook or YouTube videos a week.
- More than 500 million hours of videosare watched on YouTube each day.
- More video content is uploaded in 30 days than the major television networks have created in 30 years
- 87% of online marketers use video content
- Internet video traffic is 69% of all global consumer Internet traffic in 2017
The reason why these major social networks are optimizing their platforms, as we can find in Ama.org market analyse, is because the majority of search traffic will be a result of video content, and future marketing projects will include high spending on digital. While social is expected to grow significantly, video ad types will boom 184% from $9.9 billion to $28 billion in ad spend – making them the fastest growing ad type.

Describing the Irish financial collapse:
A few months after the spell was broken, the short-term parking-lot attendants at Dublin Airport noticed that their daily take had fallen. The lot appeared full; they couldn't understand it. Then they noticed the cars never changed. They phoned the Dublin police, who in turn traced the cars to Polish construction workers, who had bought them with money borrowed from Irish banks. The migrant workers had ditched the cars and gone home.

TIS continues strategy for growth with investment in Auto Doors division
Press Release • Nov 29, 2016 16:09 GMT
TIS are delighted to announce the appointment of Alistair Murray, Marc Jago and Craig Kennedy who will form the new Auto Doors division at TIS.
Though TIS have always offered automatic doors, the installation, service and maintenance was previously delivered by a strategic partner.
Managing director of combined services, James Twigg, said: "I am absolutely delighted to have both Alistair and Marc join TIS at a very exciting time for the business. They can both see the future vision and direction for TIS and they cannot wait to get started.
"Whilst we have offered automatic door services through our partners previously we have never had control over the quality of our delivery and we have never focused on it properly. This is a huge step forward for TIS and we are all thrilled to see what they can bring to our full suite of security systems services.
"We have confidence and belief in the growth and potential of the new division which will enable our own team to be in full control of the delivery of our internal objectives. This investment is expected to provide the combined services division with the first-class support in service delivery of automatic doors it has craved."
Alistair Murray has worked in the automatic door industry for 27 years, his career taking him from apprentice to contracts manager.
The introduction of this new division will support some of its current clients, such as Sheffield City Council and Nottingham City Homes, who have been introducing door automation across many of their sites.
TIS have many projects planned for the next 12 months, including automation to the Scooter Stores at Keverne Court and Hazelhurst Gardens for Nottingham City Homes (NCH), automatic doors at Seagrave Court (Gedling Homes) and the servicing of the entire NCH auto door stock in February 2017.
TIS are specialists in the installation, repair and planned preventative maintenance of all types of automatic doors, including automatic sliding doors, automatic swing doors, aluminium manual doors and timber and steel fire doors.

Do you know what kind of trader you want to become?
The market is so vast that to excel as a trader you must specialize in a specific sector. If you are new and no nothing about the various markets read on.
Typically, the five markets listed below are those in demand and will need your complete attention and expertise. The reason that you can specialize only in one field is because you require special skill sets to understand the intricacies of the trade and how the changing socio-economic and political scenario will affect the various factors governing a specific market; your goal as a trader must always be to maximize profits and look at opportunities to reduce losses.
- Fixed Income Trader: The name is self-explanatory. These traders deal in securities that will generate fixed income. Usually, as a fixed income trader, you will be attached to an investment firm. Your job there will involve buying these securities and selling them to clients; the client will pay additionally your fees for the services rendered. As a trader in this segment, you must assimilate various securities in a wide range to provide your client with a diversified portfolio.
- Share Trader: When people talk about trading they are referring to share trading because it is immensely popular and very profitable if you get it right. And it is also not necessary that to become a share trader you need any specific educational qualifications. In fact, if you want to get a feel of trading you must try your hand at Bitcoin Loophole, an automated cryptocurrency trading software that offers you a chance of dealing with not only cryptocurrencies but also gains an entry into the trading world. There are several reviews online on these algorithm-based trading platforms; you can also Continue reading here to know more about this promising trading robot.
Share trading has a steep learning curve because it involves market analysis and understanding the trends and testing out strategies for the maximum profits. Hence any help before the actual trade will be helpful.
- Foreign Exchange: As a trader in foreign exchange you will buy specific amount in one currency and sell it in another currency and make a profit from the difference in exchange rate. A foreign exchange trader can be a one-man show or it can be a part of a larger investment firm which specializes in foreign exchange trading.
You must evaluate the risks involved in all kinds of trading and only then decide which market you want to specialize in and gain expertise. While share trading does seem interesting it is the riskiest forms of trading.

Here are the results of the L.O.V.E. project. DR.ME spent most of Thursday the 12th screen-printing the 100 Valentines cards and then posting them on the 13th to the 100 people who emailed their addresses. We sent cards to people as close as one road down from our HQ and as far away as Quebec, Canada and we are very pleased that the majority of people seem to have received their cards.
To explain the cards design, we chose to use Helvetica and created a heart using a number (3) and a letter (V), we fused them together for the front and printed in 'enlightened red', then on the inside we had the inscription 'Open Your Heart To Another' and the heart with its 'lid' off. We feel that the Design has many ambiguous connotations so rather than explain them all, we would like to leave these up to your endless imaginations. We hope it was a pleasant surprise on the 14th.

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions. We will start by explaining some principles of the game, then move on to the hints and tips.
Frequently Asked Questions
I can't get the game to work!?! I click on the button and nothing happens!?!
Answer: There are two things that "A Spell 4 All" needs to work:
I got the game to work, but now I can't cast a spell. What do I do?
Answer: Two pointers and a hint:
1: You MUST have the book in your inventory to learn any new spells.
2: You MUST have MANA in order to cast spells. How do you get that? Play the game. If you see an option to discuss something with someone - try it. The game is designed to lead you through the first few steps in a very small environment to teach you what to do and where to go.
3: One little hint. You must "USE" a magic stone to extract its Mana, and this must be done in a place that carries its own magical power/undercurrent. There. Now have fun!
I've noticed a Bug/Flaw/Exploit in the game. What should I do?
Answer: There is a thread in "General Chat" category in the Forums at "The Collective" that is the intended place to post error reports. Alternatively you could email FirstBorn if you'd like a more direct route.
Why doesn't the site contain full nudity or sex scenes?
Answer: In the past, this was out of respest to the host service, and the general public, that no material considered blatantly pornographic be used. With FirstBorn taking over the trend will more than likely continue out of respect to Wizard and his initial intentions.
Is any of the material protected by copyright by other
individuals or business entities?
Answer: All images, stories, and dialogue has been supplied by either the EMCA project group (in the past) or by the "Collective" and its members in versions produced by FirstBorn. That being said, to the best of our knowledge all content is considered freeware. However, if an individual produces evidence to the contrary then the item(s) in question will be removed at the earliest possible time. The inclusion of anything in this game does not infer any implications of copyright by Wizard, FirstBorn, nor the Collective in any way.
Are there any cheats or hints?
Answer: There are no deliberate cheats known to FirstBorn and no technical documentation is supplied with the game. In the past, members of the EMCA project group recieved the paths specifications to assist in game design and this may be continued in subsequent versions developed by FirstBorn. See below about how to become a contributing member of the "Spell 4 All" game.
How do I become a contributing member of the "Spell 4 All" game?
Answer: There are two ways to accomplish this.
1: Submit a detailed puzzle, scene, picture series, or script to FirstBorn.
2: Join "the Collective" (found HERE) Forums and begin adding your comments to the "Spell 4 All" threads found in the General Chat area.
Please be specifc. Vague ideas are very difficult to implement. Explain the exactly what you want,.e.g. which scenes are impacted, exactly how a puzzle will work, what causes the plot to change, when your addition take place in the game.
If your suggestion and/or submission meshes well with the feel/intent of the game then it will be incorporated into the game in subsequent versions.
Question: How
do I get my site/story listed on the favorites page?
Answer: The favorites page is subject to Wizard's & FirstBorn's taste and it is these views that govern which sites are found on these pages.
Question: Can I
copy the "A Spell For All" game or use it to
make money?
Answer: A Spell For All is freeware. You may copy and distribute it free of charge. However, you are advised not to modify nor profit from the game because EMCA project group, Members of the Collective, and/or photographed individuals may claim use without consent.
Go the game

Armando Zumaya
Senior Vice President of Business Development & Capital Campaigns, The Mexican Museum
This conference has received CFRE approval for 5 points
Lunch included with registration. There will be roundtable discussions on topics from the morning sessions, and networking opportunities following.
Morning Session 1:
The Prospect Researcher/Development Officer Relationship:
Imagine your Prospect Research and Management staff helping you lead and build solid portfolios of new prospects and new gifts with your Major Gifts/Development Officers. Yet this relationship is one of the most ineffective relationships traditionally at most development shops nationally. Why? This humor filled presentation will help bridge the gap in each team's perceptions and misperceptions of each other. It will help you form agreement and build synergy between two divergent personalities and teams.
This seminar is especially effective when Prospect Research and Management staff and Development Officers are all in attendance.
Morning Session 2:
Creating a Prospecting Culture at your Institution:
How do some institutions do it? Why are they always first to find the new wealth and scooping their competitors? Often they have an established culture that structurally supports and rewards great prospecting. Even smaller institutions can get in first to new major gifts prospects where others can't by developing an internal culture of prospecting. One can have great prospects and purchase great tools for identifying those prospects but without a strong prospecting culture it will be unlikely for anyone to follow up and start relationships with those prospects.
This a great seminar for development staff of all types, but especially for development leadership. This seminar will help you understand the cultural, structural, and hierarchical barriers to building this dynamic prospecting culture in your development organization. Having this 'can do' culture in your institution will raise you more money now and help you build a solid base for the future.
Afternoon Session:
Using Circles of Influence in Prospecting:
When you are prospecting, getting introduced to major prospects that everyone wants to reach can often be very challenging. Yet almost all prospects have peers they know and circles they live in. How can you partner with Prospect Research to identify and infiltrate circles of influence? This classic technique has many subtle techniques and pitfalls. We will go over techniques, examples and help you identify circles of influence among your donors and prospects.

Here is a Art Journal page I made the other day. I really like how this turned out. I think it shouts "Spring" I used a base of yellow acrylic paint and used two different stencils for the dots in the two sizes. When I started I didn't know what I was going to use nor what colors I was going to put on the paper. It just happened. But I am pleased. As you can tell, I am having a blast with my Gelli Plate. Now I have to decide how to use it.

With such a naturally stunning setting, JYW incorporated elements that elevated the already beautiful colour palette the setting offered; sparkling linens of soft ivory with rose appliqué detail, wood chiavari chairs, a lovely floral arch with soft chiffon white drapery and lush ivory rose centerpieces overflowing with greenery. The pathway along the resort pools were lined with tall black lanterns lit to create a serene glow, leading guests to the reception. One of my favourite details of the wedding was the custom gold foiled menus with laurel detailing; a perfect balance of modern & traditional.
The bride looked perfect in a beautiful lace dress from S2 Bride in Calgary, with matching lace Jimmy Choo heels. She was complemented by a soft bouquet of ivory & quicksand roses, lisianthus, stock flower and eucalyptus.
This intimate destination wedding turned out as special and lovely as the couple, and I was completely honoured to be a part of their special day in paradise… It really was magical!

Prosperous AND Shared Economy
After WWII, as a Nation, we deliberately created the conditions where the prosperity of most of our people rose with the prosperity of the nation. We created a strong middle class and consumer base that built the most powerful economy in the world. However, over the last several decades the GOP has been undermining those conditions and the prosperity is shifting to the wealthy leaving many of our citizens behind.
Some in the GOP / Right-Wing are deliberately manipulating voters to benefit the wealthy at the expense of everyone else. Many others in the GOP/RW honestly believe that free-enterprise virtually alone creates widespread prosperity. However, there are plenty of the wealthy, our corporations and other businesses that understand the vital roles that our government, public investments, regulations, and government services play to create the conditions for our people, businesses, and economy to thrive.
To truly unleash our potential as individuals and as a nation and create a level of prosperity for all that has not yet been seen in the world, we need more voters to understand what creates the necessary conditions for this outcome. Our shared prosperity will not be accidental but because we caused it to happen. As voters, we need to know the difference between good and bad policies, candidates, and officials. Knowing the difference is knowing a few fundamentals of our economy.

text: Blog We're pleased to bring you this visually stunning and sonically driving new clip.. "Behind The Lines" from New England's hardest-hitting and ferocious post-hardcore quintet LIKE WAVES July 9, 2012June 21, 2016 admin From the north shores of Boston, Like Waves presents us with music that can be compared to the likes of The Receiving End of Sirens, Circa Survive, Underoath, and Oceana. However, the difference between Like Waves and these other bands is that they have created a unique style that slowly, yet positively drags itself between different music genres. Their previous record, Sirens Before the Silence, as well as their new self-titled release, Like Waves, has taken Massachusetts on by storm, and lighting up the New England area. But it won't be long before Like Waves hits the entire music scene. With their new captivating video for their single "Behind the Lines," we see what Like Waves is made up of and all of their influences that have inspired their likeable music. "Behind the Lines" is a song about finding comfort within our own natural beings and the self. The fact that the video takes place in the woods creates a feeling of unity between humans and nature. Whether or not we as viewers are religious, the video takes on a spiritual feel that gains recognition for the band. It begins with a natural, slow motion feeling in which we see the singer of the song capturing the feelings of solitude. We then come across an estranged girl who looks like she has been through the woods, searching for the unknown for a bit of time. What we see here is that this woman is plainly fighting with her emotions and the different personalities in which she sees herself. What is presented towards the end of the video, on the other hand, is her inability to find what she is looking for, so she kicks and screams, even throws dirt, at the singer and the rest of the members of the band. The significance of this is to show that there are higher beings, beyond our own control, and although we are frustrated at the fact that we still seek unanswered questions, we must remember that they are always there.

Safe Place Scheme
29th February 2016
Safe Place Scheme
The Safe Place Scheme was launched in Grimsby on the 20th November, 2015 and hosted by Care4all at Café Vintage. The scheme has already been successful in Hull's St Stephens shopping centre, and is now being rolled out across the rest of the Humberside Police region.
The Safe Place national scheme is designed to help vulnerable people, including those with dementia or a learning disability, who can become lost and confused or can easily become targets for harassment or bullying.
Those who choose to join the free scheme will be given a personalised card with their details and who to contact if they need support. The card will also have police contact numbers for an emergency and non-emergency situations.
Businesses and companies that are involved in the scheme have stickers placed in windows to show that they are a safe place to go if vulnerable individuals are feeling lost, scared and confused whilst out.
Chief Superintendent Scott Young from Humberside Police said "we want to enrich the lives of those people who feel vulnerable, by ensuring that there are safe places for people to go to, when they go out into their community"

Impact of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Safety Program for Perinatal Care.
Kahwati LC, Sorensen AV, Teixeira-Poit S, et al. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2019 Jan 10; [Epub ahead of print].
Labor and delivery is an inherently high-risk care setting. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality adapted its Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program, a best practice toolkit incorporating teamwork, human factors engineering principles, and simulation training, for labor and delivery. In this pre–post evaluation study, staff reported improved safety culture and teamwork. Obstetric trauma and primary cesarean delivery rates declined after the intervention, but neonatal birth trauma rates increased. The authors note that incomplete implementation and lack of sustained program participation observed in the study should be addressed in order to improve obstetric and neonatal care safety. A recent Annual Perspective emphasizes the rising rate of severe maternal morbidity and summarizes national initiatives to improve safety in maternity care.

Learning collaboratives: insights and a new taxonomy from AHRQ's two decades of experience.
Nix M, McNamara P, Genevro J, et al. Health Aff (Millwood). 2018;37:205-212.
Learning collaboratives are multimodal interventions that are often used to implement evidence-based practices. This perspective from AHRQ scientists proposes a taxonomy to describe collaboratives' distinct elements: innovation, or the type of positive change; communication among members; duration and sustainability; and social systems, or the organization and culture of the collaborative. The authors suggest that efforts to evaluate learning collaboratives or quality improvement interventions employ this taxonomy.

Demos Helsinki
This is a think tank dedicated to the 'smarter usage' of human capabilities and natural resources. A central theme of Demos is democracy and capabilities, particularly analysis of the welfare-state model in Finland, which, though remarkably successful over the decades, has been ever-changing with new methodologies needed to adapt. Another key theme is resource-smart economies – focus on sustainable resource management is vital, and needs to incorporate balancing population growth, production and consumption. Recent publications include Humancentric governance through experiments, which examines the usage of behavioural approaches and experiments into government policies to make them more efficient; Refugees for co-creative cities, which argues for a re-thinking of the accommodation of refugees in Europe; and Scenarios for the future of work. Recent projects include a seminar series on immigration, and the Building Zero Waste Society project. Demos Helsinki was founded in 2005 and is entirely responsible for funding all of its own projects. The Director of Democracy and Capabilities is Johannes Koponen, and the Executive Director is Tuuli Kaskinen.

Shropshire History
Stone Castles
to Index
A castle was home to a rich family and their servants. Since defence was the prime purpose of a castle, the living accommodation was often sparse and uncomfortable. As a result, landowners started to build more comfortable houses but these were fortified with features such as a moat that allowed it to be defended. In Shropshire there are examples of each.
Early Norman castles were often made with a raised mound of earth (motte) and a wooden palisade, only later were these replaced by stone. Some, such as Shrewsbury and Ludlow, became quite large as a result of their strategic location on the border of England and Wales.
During the Civil War, some churches were also used as temporary fortifications due to their strong construction and height. The Civil War also resulted in many of the stone castles being "slighted" (destroyed) to prevent them being used again.
Castles and Fortifications of Shropshire
Gazetteer of Sites
Alderbury Castle (SJ355146)
Built in the early 13th Century. It was not officially garrisoned by either side during the Civil War, although there is an obscure reference to it being used 1645. Now a ruin and on private land.
Atcham Bridge (SJ540092)
One of several bridges on the River Severn which were garrisoned during the Civil War to deny the passage of goods to the enemy. Initially a Royalist garrison but captured by Roundheads in 1645. The garrison is believed to have been placed in the Church, which bears the marks of having been struck by cannon balls. The old bridge was built in 1769-71 and replaced by a new concrete bridge in 1929. The old bridge is Grade II* listed and can be crossed by the public.
Built by the Bishop of Hereford in 1087 to defend the church and village from the threat of the Welsh. It was attacked several times, not always by Welsh raiders, most notably in 1263 when John Fitzalan, 6th Earl of Arundel and Lord of Oswestry and Clun, laid siege to it and caused significant damage. In 1557, the castle was described as "thirteen rooms covered with lead, a tower on the outer wall on the eastern side containing a stable, and two rooms covered with tiles. There were two other rooms on the outer wall between the building over the gate and the tower. There was also a dovecote, garden, forest and a park." In 1618, the castle started to deteriorate and was a ruin by the time of the Civil War. In the 1700s, the stone keep and surroundings were flattened to make a bowling green. In 1719, the Castle Hotel was constructed over the site. All that is visible of the castle today is a 10m long, coursed stone wall on the west side of the castle site which is 2m thick and 3m high. On private land but close to public footpath.
Built in 1101 by Robert de Belleme, son of the French Earl, Roger de Montgomery, who succeeded his father to become the Earl of Shrewsbury. Its principal feature, a square great tower, was built during the reign of Henry II. During the Civil War, it was owned by Sir William Whitmore. The town with its castle was a Royalist garrison from the start of the war and, by October 1642, the gates had been repaired and made strong with chains plus other posts and chains had been placed at the ends of several of the streets. It was briefly captured by Roundheads in September 1645 and finally captured in April 1646. A tunnel called Lavingstone's Hole was driven under the castle with the aim of blowing it up but the threat alone made the defenders surrender. The entrance is still open at SO71759283.
Cromwell ordered that the castle be demolished and by 1647 little of the structure remained. The Parliamentarians left it much as it is today, the stone from the castle being taken and used to repair the town's damaged buildings. Parts of the great tower still remain but, because of the damage caused during the Civil War, it now leans at an angle of 15 degrees, four times that of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Castle grounds are open to the public.
Bryn Amlwg Castle (SO16748460)
Scheduled earthwork remains of a Medieval castle. Began in the early 12th Century as a wooden ring work and reconstructed in stone about 1225. Known to have been occupied until 1377 and may have fallen into disuse after that. Apart from a few fragments of walling on the face of the gateway, no masonry from the castle survives. The site comprises a central mound surrounded by a ditch and outer bank. Some damage has been caused by modern quarrying. The site occupies a knoll overlooking a North East-South West valley which marks the England-Wales boundary.
Buildwas Bridge (SJ645044)
One of several bridges on the River Severn which were garrisoned to deny the passage of goods to the enemy. Initially a Royalist garrison based in the church and in 1642 a James Lacon received orders to employ men to erect a turnstile armed with spikes, to prevent the passage of horses. Captured by Roundheads in 1645. Destroyed by a flood in 1795, when it was replaced by the present bridge.
Originally constructed as an Iron Age hill fort, that was built on by Roger Corbet in the late 11th century as an earthwork motte with a very small summit on which stood a tower and a strongly defended inner bailey. King Henry II had it garrisoned in 1165 and, in 1198, Roger Corbet re-built the tower, keep and curtain wall in stone. During the late 12th century a town was created in the large outer Bailey. On the death of Beatrice Corbet in 1347, the castle passed to the Earl of Stafford. It was garrisoned by the Seneschal Griffith ap Gwenwys against the rebellion of Owain Glyndwr in the 15th century but he then changed sides. As a result, his family lands and role at Caus Castle were forfeited in 1404, only to be restored by King Henry V in 1419. In 1443, the castle passed back to the Earl of Stafford but he rarely used it so that it was recorded in 1521 as being a ruin. Owned by Sir Henry Frederick Thynne during the Civil War and initially a Royalist garrison. It was captured by the Roundheads in June 1645 and destroyed. Most of the masonry was carried off and the only visible remains are earthworks. On private land but close to road.
Grade I listed castle. Built 1090-1110 by the Fitzallan family and altered in the 13th Century. It was built in conjunction with the planned town laid out to the East, standing high up in a loop of the River Clun near its confluence with the River Unk and in a strategic position. The castle was abandoned by the time of the Civil War and saw no military action but it was demolished by Parliament in 1646 to prevent any possible use a fortress. Now owned by English Heritage and ruins open to public.
Motte of a small castle built in 1087 by Roger de Montgomery. It became a royal castle in 1138 and is likely to have been fortified in stone around this time although nothing remains. It was abandoned in the 14th Century.
Built in the 11th Century as a motte and bailey fortress by Helgot de Reisolent and mentioned in the Domesday Book. Crowning the high circular motte are the foundations of walls and a rectangular tower. Additions were made in the 13th Century, including a semi-circular flanking tower. During the Civil War, it was owned by the Cressett family. Initially a Royalist garrison but they abandoned and demolished it in June 1645. The Roundheads did not bother garrisoning it afterwards. The ruins, including the flanking tower, were subsequently incorporated into a farmhouse in the 16th Century. Now a private house.
Grade I listed castle. Built in the late 11th Century as an earthwork motte and bailey fortress by Robert 'Picot' de Say. In 1276, Walter de Hopton built the stone castle, with a rectangular three storey tower house, flanked by projecting angle turrets. The castle was surrounded by a curtain wall, flanked with towers. In the Civil War, it was owned by Henry Wallop. Initially a Roundhead garrison of 31 men under Samuel More and one of the few castles to be held for Parliament in the west. It was captured by Royalists in March 1644 and the garrison was massacred in one of the most notorious incidents of the Civil War. The castle was later destroyed to prevent it being used again. In 2006 a Trust was formed to buy the building and it has now been conserved. Ruins are open to the public.
Loppington Church (SJ471292)
During the Civil War, Loppington remained loyal to the Crown and there was a Royalist garrison in the church. Nearby Wem was for Parliament and, in 1643, the Parliamentary forces sited a gun on Ditches Hill outside Wem and fired on Loppington, damaging the north wall of the church. The church roof was then set alight to force the occupants out and the roof and arcade were destroyed.
Grade I listed castle. Built in the 11th Century by Walter de Lacy as one of a string of castles along the Welsh border. In 1461, it was acquired by the Crown as the centre of administration for the Marches shires and for Wales. Court sessions and the Prince's Council were held here. leading to massive refurbishment of the buildings and the castle became more like an Elizabethan stately home. The two young princes murdered in the Tower of London spent most of their childhood years at Ludlow Castle. During the Civil War, it was besieged by Roundheads several times but not captured until July 1646. It was the last Royalist castle in Shropshire to hold out. In 1811 it was acquired by the Earl of Powis, whose family still owns it. Ruins open to the public.
Montford Bridge (SJ431152)
One of several bridges on the River Severn which were garrisoned to deny the passage of goods to the enemy. Initially a Royalist garrison, located in the church, but captured by Roundheads in 1645. Replaced by current bridge in 1792, constructed by Thomas Telford. Grade II listed.
Grade II listed castle. Built in the 11th Century as an earthwork motte and bailey fortress by Alan Fitz Flaald. In 1148, Madoc ap Meredyth built the stone castle, when adding a polygonal shell keep to the flat-topped motte. It was the scene of a parliament held by Richard II in 1398. The castle was in disrepair by the late 15th Century. It was repaired during the Civil War, when it was initially a Royalist garrison under Colonel Lloyd of Llanforda and a garrison consisting chiefly of Welsh troops. Captured by Roundheads in June 1644 and demolished by order of Parliament in 1648. Now only fragments of collapsed masonry survive. There is the possible remains of a reconstructed bastion on east side of the motte but the bailey has been completely built over.
Red Castle (SJ571294)
Unscheduled castle. Built in 1227 by Henry de Audley, after which time the village became known as 'Weston under Redcastle'.. The subsequent generations of Audleys were known as the Lords of Red Castle. The Audleys forfeited the title when the 7th Baron Audley led a rebellion against King Henry VII of England in 1497 and was executed. The castle fell into ruin but the title was restored to John Tuchet, 8th Baron Audley in 1512. Eventually the lands passed via Sir Andrew Corbet to Sir Rowland Hill, 1st Baronet Hill of Hawkstone. It was replaced by the adjacent Hawkstone Hall in the 17th Century and the grounds, including the Red Castle, were landscaped.
Built in the 12th Century but badly damaged in 1203 and 1212. Rebuilt in 1313 but finally abandoned at the end of the century and the stone used to build the adjacent church.
Shrawardine Castle (SJ401154)
Grade II listed castle. Built by 1165 as a motte and bailey. During the Civil War it was owned by Mr Bromley. Initially a Royalist garrison but captured by Roundheads in June 1645 and subsequently destroyed. On private land but close to public footpath.
Grade I listed castle. Built in 11th Century as an earthwork motte and bailey fortress by Roger de Montgomery. It is possible that the castle replaced an earlier Saxon fortification, that would have guarded the original approach to the town. In 1164, King Henry II built the stone castle, encasing the oval inner bailey with a curtain wall, pierced by a plain arched gateway. In the 13th century, King Edward I built the great hall and strengthened the royal castle with a rectangular outer bailey. During the Civil War, the Royalists repaired the castle but in 1645 it was captured by a small Parliamentary force. In the late 18th century, Thomas Telford remodelled the interior of the hall and added Laura's Tower to the mound. In 1924, the Shropshire Horticultural Society purchased the castle and carried out an extensive programme of restoration, which included removal of all the internal partitions introduced by Telford. Further alterations took place in 1985 when the castle was converted to house the Shropshire Regimental Museum. Ruins open to the public.
Grade I listed castle. Built in 1281-91 by Lawrence of Ludlow, a wealthy local wool-merchant. King Edward I granted a licence to crenellate. Hardly altered since, the Baldwyn family added the panelled chamber in the solar block and the timber-framed gatehouse in the mid-17th century. In the Civil War, the castle was owned by the Craven family and had a Royalist garrison. In June 1645, after a skirmish and a short siege, it surrendered to a Parliamentarian force. Owned by English Heritage and open to the public.
Tong Castle (SJ792069)
Grade II listed castle. Built in the 12th Century and altered in the 16th Century by Sir Harry Vernon. During the Civil War, it was initially a Roundhead garrison but was captured by Royalists in April 1644. Re-captured by Roundheads in Summer 1646. George Durant demolished most of the original house in 1764 and replaced it with a gothic castle in 1765, which was in turn demolished in 1954. The site is now divided into two and obscured by the M54 Motorway.
Wattlesborough Castle (SJ355126)
Grade I listed castle. Built in the late 13th century by Sir Richard Corbet. It comprised a square two storey tower surrounded by a moated enclosure with a fishpond. It was bought by the Leighton family about 1501 and used as their chief residence until 1711. At that time, an adjoining farm building was constructed and named Wattlesborough Hall. Only the roofless tower remains and its condition is officially classified as poor.
Wellington Church (SJ651117)
Wellington was not a major centre in the Civil War but, shortly after Charles I stayed there in 1642, it was briefly captured by Roundheads until they were driven off. The church was garrisoned by the Royalists and damaged when the town was re-captured by Roundheads in March 1644. Open to public.
Built between 1135-54 by William Pantulf. Hugh Pantulf rebuilt the castle in the 13th Century by replacing wooden structures with stone buildings. In 1235 the castle passed by marriage to the Le Botiler family but by 1290 it was in ruins. It was rebuilt in 1313, at which time it was held for the Le Botilers by Hugh Fitzaer. In 1459 the castle was acquired by the De Audley family and it was dismantled shortly afterwards. Only a reduced motte survives that has been shored up on one side with a brick wall.
Wem Church (SJ512288)
Wem was the main centre of the Roundheads and remained in their hands throughout the Civil War, despite a short siege in 1643. The church was garrisoned by the troops. Open to the public.
Whitchurch Church (SJ540417)
Whitchurch had a Royalist garrison based in the Church. The town was captured by Roundheads in May 1643 but re-captured by Prince Rupert in March 1644. Open to the public.
Grade I listed castle. Originally an Iron Age fort, encased by triple banks and ditches, which remain to the north and west. It is also possible that King Offa founded a Saxon earth and timber fortification in the fort. In the late 11th Century, William Peverel created an earthwork motte and bailey fortress, defended by wet ditches. In the mid-12th century, King Henry II built the stone castle, when crowning the motte with a rectangular keep. In 1221, Sir Foulke fitz Warine was granted a licence to crenellate and he totally encased the motte with a shell keep, flanked by five huge round towers. Two of the towers defended the gateway into the new inner bailey, with a twin-towered gatehouse defending the large walled outer bailey. During the Civil War it was initially a Royalist garrison but was captured by Roundheads in 1643. The castle was dismantled in the 18th Century for road stone and the present outer gatehouse was restored in 1809. Owned by the community and open to the public.
Wroxeter Church (SJ563082)
One of several places on the River Severn which were garrisoned to deny the passage of goods to the enemy. Whereas the others were on bridges, there was no bridge here (although there was one in Roman times). However, it is just downstream from the junction of the River Severn and River Roden so was probably a strategic location. Initially a Royalist garrison was based in the Church but it was captured by Roundheads by June 1644 when the Earl of Denbigh appointed it as the rendezvous for forces heading to capture Oswestry.

Alcoholism is an epidemic in society today, and is a problem facing many in Lebanon, MO. Alcohol is in fact a drug, the most commonly used and widely abused in the world. Alcohol addiction causes many problems, and people that abuse alcohol are more likely to become violent, struggle with their career and have problems in their relationships. Alcoholism can literally destroy your life.
Consuming alcohol is a common and acceptable practice in Lebanon. The problem with alcohol addiction and alcoholism begins when consumption crosses the line from moderate drinking, to having to consume alcohol to avoid feeling bad or to feel comfortable in social situations. Alcohol addiction and alcoholism may be triggered by an individual's environment, the people he's associating with, etc. Whatever the case may be, if alcohol is being used in excess and an individual doesn't have enough control to put down that drink despite the consequences, there is a problem.

But if a person is continuing to drink despite the health risks involved and the destruction that is being created in their life, it is time for them to seek help or for someone to intervene and help the person see that there is a problem. It may seem easier to pretend that nothing is wrong, but the longer a person continues his addictive behavior the worse off he will be in the long run.

There are a number of Alcohol Rehab Facilities in the area.

Alcoholism has taken its toll when an individual drinks so heavily for a long duration, that when alcohol is taken away withdrawal sets in. Withdrawal symptoms can include shakiness or trembling, fatigue, irritability and loss of appetite for example. Alcohol withdrawal can be overcome by going through a supervised alcohol detoxification as part of treatment at an Alcohol Abuse Rehab Facility in Lebanon, MO.
