UK Health System Shut Down IT Systems, Cancelled Operations Due to Computer Virus

Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust had shut down almost all of its IT systems this past week, resulting in a mass cancellation of operations and outpatient appointments, following the discovery of a computer virus on Sunday, according to media reports.

The health system, which had been posting updates about the major incident on its website, announced Thursday that the majority of its electronic systems are now back up and working. In the announcement, the health system encouraged patients to come in for planned appointments, procedures and operations.

According to an article by BBC News online, Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) said systems were infected with a virus on Sunday and that an NHS computer network had been attacked. The health system, which runs hospitals in Goole, Grimsby and Scunthorpe, announced Monday that it had shut down its IT systems and had to cancel hundreds of planned operations and outpatient appointments. Those measures had been in place since Sunday, so the IT systems had been down all week.

According to media reports, the health system shut down its information systems as well as its clinical IT systems. The health system did not report what type of virus it had identified.

The BBC News article, posted on Monday, quoted Karen Dunderdale, NLAG deputy chief executive: “A virus infected our electronic systems yesterday, and we have taken the decision, following expert advice, to shut down the majority of our systems so we can isolate and destroy it.”

"Our main priority is patient safety. All adult patients should presume their appointment/procedure has been cancelled unless they are contacted. Those who turn up will be turned away,” Dunderdale was quoted in the BBC News article.

BBC News further reported ,”The trust added that inpatients would be cared for and discharged as soon as they were medically fit, with major trauma cases and high risk women in labour being diverted to neighboring hospitals." And, the article quoted hospital officials as saying, "We are reviewing the situation on an hourly basis. Our clinicians will continue to see, treat and operate on those patients who would be at significant clinical risk should their treatment be delayed.”

Neighboring hospitals run by United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust also were affected as the two trusts share four clinical IT systems and those hospitals had to cancel operations as well, according to media reports.

Of handrails and seat belts

Health and safety in the energy sector

Home / EOS Blog / Of handrails and seat belts – Health and safety in the energy sector

Leading our oil and gas work, I have met many oil and gas majors and related service companies in office settings and in the field, particularly in North America.

The industry loves to say that health, safety and the environment are its priorities. However, it is sometimes what companies do or not do rather than what they say that is revealing. To that extent, I have developed my handrail and seat belt test. This is based on interactions with companies that can give far greater qualitative insights than desk-based research companies and asset managers are capable of providing.

At one oil major, having had a lengthy meeting about its safety processes in the aftermath of the 2010 Macondo blowout disaster, I had to reproach the senior manager for not holding the handrail as he escorted me down the stairs at the end of the meeting. If senior management fail to do the basics in their headquarters, what conclusions can we draw from this to operations in the field?

On a recent trip to the US, the receptionist at another major exploration and production company confirmed that I had seen its head office safety video within the past year, so I did not have to see it again. My meeting host held the handrail – as did I – on the way upstairs to the meeting room and downstairs afterwards. It was the only handrail I have ever seen that had stickers on it requesting that it be used. At separate meetings during the trip, however, representatives of an oil major and a large oil services company did not use the handrails in front of me. Any health and safety representative will tell you that slips and trips are the most common cause of accidents in an office environment and these are companies that work in far more difficult environments than an office. Which company do you think may have the better safety record?

Seat belts
Which brings me onto seat belts. Oil and gas industry representatives tell me that one of the most difficult areas to reduce fatalities and accidents is in road traffic accidents. On an investor trip to fracking sites organised by an oil company a few years ago, the driver from its sub-contracted coach firm, who was taking us to the sites, would not start the engine until everyone on board had their seat belt fastened. Yet, on a recent trip to a downstream facility organised by a different firm, there was no such discipline and most passengers were happy not to wear their seat belts. What conclusions do we draw about the safety focus of these two companies? Do we believe what they say? Or what they do?

While impressionistic, seemingly superficial, unscientific and clearly not the only consideration, such insights can provide a window into the real conduct and culture of the company.

At another meeting with a company in a different industry, we learned how it put its drivers at the centre of the business and as a result has an industry-leading health and safety record. The company managed to achieve some of this by rewarding or punishing the drivers for good and bad practice via the telemetric data it records. Significantly, it also gives its drivers the possibility to veto jobs if they perceive them to be dangerous, unless the safety concerns are resolved.

Perhaps the oil and gas industry could learn from this company how to drive down accident rates. It also shows that maybe we should reserve judgement until we see for ourselves what actually happens on the ground instead of relying on the often beautiful picture painted in the head office.

Incidentally, my meeting was on the ground floor so I could not do my handrail test.

Dear Friends,

Holocaust Museum Houston (HMH) is dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust, remembering the 6 million Jews and other innocent victims who perished and honoring the Survivors’ legacy. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides, we teach the dangers of hatred, prejudice and apathy and inspire and support this and future generations to stand against those forces. We honor the past so that we may act in hope for the future, and we invite you to join us as we expand our service to our community.

HMH, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1996 by Houston-area Holocaust Survivors, their descendants and members of the community, is accredited by The American Alliance of Museums. The museum currently entertains 163,000 visitors. This includes more than 43,500 middle and high school students whose time with us builds their historical knowledge and their empathy.

Our work with these young people is particularly compelling as we encourage them to become “upstanders” – young men and women who take a stand on behalf of themselves and others. The late Elie Wiesel, Holocaust Survivor and acclaimed author, asserted that “The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference.” We remember this truth as we watch our youth grow in conviction and action.

HMH is a place of learning and empowerment as well as a place of reflection and connection. The Museum uses exhibits grounded in history to invite participation from people representing the remarkable diversity of Houston and the surrounding regions. According to a recent study from Rice University’s Kinder Institute for Urban Research and the Hobby Center for the Study of Texas, Houston is the most ethnically diverse major metropolitan center in the United States. HMH’s mission is all the more important in this context. It is a place where people of all backgrounds can embark on journeys of self-discovery, gain respect for individual differences and experience the strength that comes from valuing all human experience.

This is an exciting time in the history of HMH. We are poised for an unprecedented expansion of the Museum’s physical space and of its on-site and outreach programming. On behalf of the Leadership Circle, we ask for your support of this campaign. With your help, HMH will continue to honor the memory of all Holocaust victims, preserve the stories of our local Survivors and serve as a catalyst to champion diversity and inclusion in the greater Houston metropolitan area.

Unexplained Noise Issues in Condominiums – Is Your Condominium Association Haunted?

Blog post by David Swedelson, Senior Partner at SwedelsonGottlieb, Condo lawyer and Community Association Attorney

ghosts.pngOkay, it is Halloween. I have been representing condominium associations for 30 years and have never heard of one that is haunted, at least not with goblins and ghosts. But apparently there are some where residents have claimed to have seen ghosts. Follow this link to an article posted by a condominium law firm in Ontario, Canada. Apparently ghosts are more prevalent in condominium conversions, especially converted factories or hospitals. And of course, there is the story about spirits who were angry about the removal of gravesites on part of the condo property that was formerly a cemetery. The article also references a story from Hawaii where a security guard claimed that there was a ghost in the garbage room. (The story is about a man who murdered his wife and stuffed her body parts into garbage bags which ended up in the garbage room; the security guard believes that the wife’s ghost was looking for her head which was never found!)

So here’s a question: if an owner or resident complains of strange noises or voices, flickering lights or disappearing items without any logical explanation, is the condominium association obligated to hire Ghostbusters? Happy Halloween.

Owned by Jasper Conran this spectacular restored riad combines superb Moroccan craftsmanship with pieces of antique furniture, textiles, lighting and art from his collection.

L’Hôtel Marrakech is a privately-owned riad set in the heart of the city’s medina, ideally situated near the vibrant Jemaa El Fna square, the bustling Souk and the 12th Century Koutoubia Mosque.

Originally the central part of a Caidal palace, this historic 19th century riad comprises five spacious suites surrounding a wide courtyard and swimming pool.

Its restoration was executed using local craftsmen and traditional materials to create  an atmosphere of timeless relaxed grandeur. Flowing white voile curtains flow on the terraces, while simple whitewashed walls, high zouak ceilings, and warm, restful colours create a relaxing feeling of charm and serenity.

Upon entering the hotel, guests find themselves in a serene courtyard garden, planted with banana, orange and lemon trees.  Roses, jasmine and honeysuckle perfume the air, with soothing water trickling from the central fountain surrounded by zelige tilework.

The garden is also home to one of the few swimming pools in the medina. The heated 10m pool can be enjoyed from morning to nightfall, when glowing lanterns envelop the riad in a magical atomosphere.

The roof terrace provides the perfect  place to relax and unwind, with its stunning views of the Atlas mountains and the Marrakech skyline. Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea under the pergola, or cocktails amongst the orange blossom and fig trees, a wilderness of honeysuckle, bougainvillaea jasmine and scented roses.

In the evenings, dinner can be enjoyed in the dining room where, on cooler nights, the curtains are drawn and a fire is lit whilst traditional Moroccan food is served. On warmer evenings large glass doors open out onto the courtyard garden allowing the gentle sound of the water fountain and the scents of the garden to flow through rooms.

Non-Resident Loans

Australia is filled with expats, foreign nationals and residents here just for the short term. Due to this, the process for non-resident mortgages in Brisbane is slightly different. It’s important to be aware of a number of key aspects and at Hunter Galloway, we can help you with this process.

Understanding the property market in Australia is key to buying and making a serious commitment. Once you have a clear understanding of this, the next thing you need to know are the rules for foreign investors in Australia. This information can be found under the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB). This process is where applicants apply to be assessed by the Australian government in order to invest or buy a home in Australia.

Temporary residents and foreign investors will be required to make this application. On some occasions there are exceptions for foreign citizens including if the property was inherited or the developer has obtained an exemption certificate for the new property, other exceptions and details can be found in full on the government departments website here.

Note: Those who are Australian citizens, permanent residents, New Zealand citizens or temporary residents purchasing with an Australian citizen spouse are not required to get an FIRB approval.

Home Loans and Investment Loans

Australia provides foreigners different types of loans depending on circumstances. Citizens of New Zealand’s eligibility are different to foreign citizens who are simply working in Australia.

How much can I borrow?

As with all circumstances your borrowing eligibility is determined by your personal circumstances. On average, in Australia when buying real estate the borrowing capacity is about 80% of the property value, however in some circumstances, it can go up to 95%. This is determined by your living circumstances and citizenship. The team at Hunter Galloway will be able to clarify your borrowing capacity with you.

Non-Resident Mortgage Loans

On some occasions, banks will offer the same loan features for non-residents as they do for standard borrowers, our team will be able to advise you on this. Generally, the standard non-resident mortgage features include:

  • 30-year maximum term loan
  • 100% offset available
  • No limit to maximum loan size
  • 15 years maximum interest
  • Maximum LVR – determined by your situation
  • Minimum loan size $100,000

These features heavily depend on your lender, therefore speak to Hunter Galloway so that we can find you the best loan options with flexible policies to suit your requirements.

Why invest in Australian property? Which lender should I choose?

Australia’s booming economy, great lifestyle and choice of locations leave it to be a perfect place to invest in. If you’re looking at buying a house in Australia and are from overseas, speak to one of our mortgage brokers.

The point of difference about Hunter Galloway is that you’re not just another number. Our team work hard to create a strong, trustworthy relationship with only your interests in mind. We can help you through the buying process from start to finish and provide an extensive network of contacts in Queensland. We will assess your application and ensure that it is correct the first time around so that you won’t waste time going back and forward with repetitive and confusing applications.

Chat to one of our experts today on 1300 088 065 or email us here.

A terrific vinegar

Posted by iHerb Customer on Jun 16, 2012 | Verified Purchase

This vinegar, which is made from coconut, is better than apple cider vinegar. It does the same things, generally, but is less harsh tasting and has greater nutritional value. A tablespoon dissolved in a glass of water will still prevent bladder infections, improve digestion, create an alkaline environment internally, and even help you sleep. I like it better than acv, although I still use both kinds. I always keep a bottle of this in the cupboard. I can't say enough about how useful this product is.

Thanks for your feedback!

Milder than cider vinegar

Posted by iHerb Customer on Jan 07, 2011 | Verified Purchase

My husband uses this to help with athritus in his hands. He origionally use cider vinegar which also worked but he finds this one a lot more palatable. This suggests to me that it may be a little more naturally beneficial for the body especially as it is raw.

Thanks for your feedback!

Delicious, pleasant tasting milder vinegar in a glass bottle

Posted by PurplePegasus on Jan 04, 2014 | Verified Purchase

It comes in a glass bottle. Unlike the leading brand of apple cider vinegar with "mother" which has a huge hole, this one has a flow restrictor at the tip of the bottle making it easy to pour drop by drop, or shaking and pouring it a bit faster. Taste is delicious, even though it doesn't taste of coconut, it tastes of vinegar, a bit milder than the ACV. I am using a few drops in water upon rising and throughout the day for weight loss. ACV helped me lose weight and I'm hoping this will do the trick as well. I love that it is organic and well priced. Thank you for another great find!

Thanks for your feedback!

I use this vinegar in salad dressings. It is not too strong and makes a very good salad dressing base with oil and the coconut secret sweetener.

Thanks for your feedback!

Posted by archeiherb on Jul 14, 2016 | Verified Purchase

Miss the BRAGG's apple cider that was a discontinued item on iherb.I'm so lucky to find this coconut vinegar which is completely without any coconut flavor,just like regular vinegar.

Thanks for your feedback!

false amino acid content data at manufactor`s site

Posted by healthseeker on Sep 11, 2014 | Verified Purchase

If you visit manufactor`s site, you can find "amino acid content" table at it`s site. Data in this table is false. You can see that over 80% of coconut sap are amino acids. This is just impossible.

Thanks for your feedback!

I really liked this vinegar better than apple vinegar. I am becoming raw foodist and search for products, that are of raw food grade, this what this vinegar is. I use 1 tablespoon of this vinegar with warm water before my main meals a day. It reduces my weight day by day as it speeds up fat burning in the body. You have to combine excercising and food to have the best benefits for loosing weight, but this vinegar is perfect additional remedie for chasing away these useless excess fats:) Very good!

Coconut vinegar

This vinegar taste so much better than apple cider vinegar especially when added with coconut secret raw coconut nectar. I take it cold with ice in the day and hot at night. So addictive

Thanks for your feedback!

awesome taste

Posted by iHerb Customer on May 03, 2017 | Verified Purchase

This is my favorite vinegar - raw, unprocessed, with live cultures, and it has the best taste of all vinegars! I keep ordering it even though it raises the shipping costs way too much, especially if I want to order more than two bottles at a time.

Amazing! but loses flavor when cooked

Posted by iHerb Customer on Sep 20, 2010 | Verified Purchase

Coconut Aminos tastes wonderful, VERY close to soy (I grew up on soy sauce, so I well remember what it tastes like). The only problem is if you cook it it will loose a lot of its flavor. If you plan on using it in a non-raw stir fry, add it at the very end. Also great because it's not as high in sodium as soy sauce is.

Thanks for your feedback!

For those who can't do gluten, there's tamari. For those who don't do gluten or soy, there's coconut aminos. Very subtle taste, i didn't get coconut or soy sauce out of this. low sodium, low gly..i like it. i mix it with ginger and orange juice or whatever spicy sauce i am using. if you want to taste soy sauce, this probably isn't for you.

Thanks for your feedback!

Good product, bad packaging

I used this to make cauliflower fried rice and it was AWESOME! So glad I finally bought some. However, the two bottles I purchased leaked during transport. Not sure if I'll buy these from a website again.

Thanks for your feedback!

Love it

Love the coconut amino's, I wanted to move away from soy based seasonings, this is kind of an acquired taste, quite sweet, works perfect for dressings and marinades.

Thanks for your feedback!

Nice, but pricey.

Posted by HildeK on Jun 22, 2012 | Verified Purchase

Odd taste if it is poured on rice after it is done. Somewhat smokey/vinegary? But in soups and other things where it is heated, it is really nice. Good if you need to reduce your intake of soy, and is not a fan of Bragg's.

Better Than Soy

I use this primarily in stewps (concentrated veggie soups) as a flavor and salt additive. It's not as salty as soy and has an interesting flavor.

Thanks for your feedback!

Tasty if used right

Wouldn't use it to replace soy sauce in cooking, a great replacement for sweet soy. I like to use it with some garlic as a dipping sauce.

Honestly, the best one yet.

Posted by iHerb Customer on Mar 14, 2009 | Verified Purchase

I'm a fan of parasite cleansing -- do it twice a year with a once-a-week 'maintenance' dose. I've tried many different products, some much more expensive than this one. I'd have to say, for the moment, that I feel this one works the best of all. Funny thing is, it's also the cheapest! Go figure.

I have delt with parasites for years and gone untreated. Doctors never said anything about my condition! I saw all my nasties come out and am so happy to know that my intestines are getting cleaned. It's a very gentle formula. Please use this if you have a long term parasitic problem. It really works!

It works.

Wormwood Kroeger Herbs

Posted by iHerb Customer on Feb 18, 2009 | Verified Purchase

If you think you have Parasides this is a great Product.I took 1 Cap per day for 1 month and 2 Caps foe another month. It did the trick. I had Dientamoeba and who knows what else. You must follow a strickt diet no sweets no fruits etc. And perhaps add Kroeger Rascal to the mix of Herbs. And adress Canida if possible with fungal defense by Garden of Life. Plus Probiotics. Never rely on just one Product to clear all syntoms.Wormwood is easy to handle in smaller dosages if you have a strong die off reaction.

3 worms so far

Posted by iHerb Customer on Mar 31, 2012 | Verified Purchase

I lost three worms within two weeks. The first worm was about three inches, the second seven inches, the third 13 inches. I'm also using a lot of raw garlic and habanero pepper and an anti-candida diet. It's an intense regimen but I want to get rid of as much toxic stuff as I can.

Thanks for your feedback!

Yup, it works.

Yes, this product kills worms. I was skeptical before trying it.... I regularly deworm my horses with pharmaceutical chemical dewormers (they type that you'd have to get from an MD to use on humans), and so when it was time to deworm myself, I didn't know whether an herbal product would be effective at killing worms. Well, there is absolutely no question in my mind now. There were dead worms in my stool after using Kroeger Wormwood Combination.... so, it clearly does kill worms! I'll be using this product again when needed.

Good parasite prevention and killing product-------- Хороший продукт для профилактики и уничтожения паразитов

My son takes this product together with a liquid chlorophyll. We think that to take chlorophyll with this Wormwood Compination is more healthy and you can be sure that all toxins were removed from the body. My son doesn't notice yet any worms running like a lamplighter from his body but he believes that it is necessary to take "a worm killing" product twice a year (in spring and in fall) in order to be cleansed from the uninvited "tenants." If my review was helpful to you, please click "YES" below. Thanks!-------- Мой сын принимает этот продукт вместе с жидким хлорофиллом. Мы считаем, что этот продукт стоить принимать вместе с хлорофиллом, так как это полезно для здоровья, и для того, чтобы быть уверенным, что все токсины выведены из организма. Мой сын пока не заметил паразитов, бегущих "сломя голову" из его организма, но верит, что нужно два раза в год (осенью и весной) пропивать такие препараты, чтобы очиститься от ненужных "жильцов". Если мой отзыв показался для вас полезным, пожалуйста, нажмите " YES". Спасибо!

While I have not yet actually seen any evidence of any die-off, the extreme pain in my lower abdoman has subsided. This is very good news to me as I had been dealing with it for over a year, trying many natural supplements. This has by far been the most successful.

I had parasites which were diagnosed by my health food store owner where I formally lived in STL. She came thru when the doctors here had no clue in the world. After taking one day (6 Capsules) my diareha (sp) went away. NOw I take one Clove per day for 100 days to kill any eggs left. Just had a stool sample test and no parasites were found. GREAT PRODUCT

Video: Two-legged boxer dog has the time of his life on first day at the beach

Duncan Lou Who, the two legged boxer puppy who was born with severely deformed rear legs that had to be removed, has proven that his two front runners are all he needs.

The puppy is seen running along on a beach for the first time in a video made by his owners, where he shows that his lack of hind legs is anything but a hindrance.

Duncan apparently has a wheelchair to help him get around but he  prefers to simply run with what he’s got, galloping on his two front legs and using the back half of his body and his tail to balance himself.

At one point in the film, which was made on a GoPro camera, Duncan holds his tail straight up in the air to avoid getting more than his paws wet in the sea.

Duncan is cared for by the Panda Paws Rescue centre, a rescue, rehabilitation and hospice specialising in canine special needs and run by Amanda Giese and Gary Walters, in Washington State.

His owners posted the video onto YouTube, and said: “He has a wheelchair, but he can’t stand to use it. So we let him be free and just walk on his two legs. There is some slow motion in this video, but none of the video has been sped up, this gives you an idea of how fast Duncan really is.”

We live in an age of ubiquitous information and just-add-water expertise. But there is nothing that compares with the presentation of significant objects in a well-told narrative. And that is what a curator does, the interpretation of a complex esoteric subject in a way that retains the integrity of the subject, but unpacks it for a general audience.” — Thomas P. Campbell, director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.

The rules of the game are changing, but the concept of a newspaper endures.

Like a museum, the newspaper provides its readers with a portal on the world. The curated content allows readers to relax and be confident that they will be provided with all the news and context they want and need.

And like paying your admission fee at the museum door, newspapers in Canada are implementing online paid subscriptions — often referred to as paywalls.

I think we get off on the wrong foot with the expression “paywalls,” because this label implies a hurdle put up to keep people out. But, really, what newspapers are trying to do is bring readers in — into the content they have created. The fee is a reflection of the cost to provide the content and the experience.

Most newspapers provide a certain amount of free access before a subscription is required. This allows publishers to use the Web for what it does best: reach out across the world to provide an introduction to the experience a loyal reader gets on the inside.

In order to continue as a viable business, revenue is required to produce a quality product. It does not matter what business we are talking about.

There has been a great deal of “disruption” in the newspaper business. The introduction of a new distribution tool (the Internet), along with the technology to access it, has resulted in a massive shift in how everyone consumes everything.

Changes in how business is conducted continue at a relentlessly fast pace and in parallel with a demand that information — and everything else on the Internet — be free.

But the latter, of course, makes no sense. Newspapers are embracing all the Internet has to offer, but nothing comes for free.

In this blog we explore the issue of satisfying audiences and attempt to provide insight into how newspapers can provide readers with information they want, while remaining a relevant and valuable resource in the 21st century (and beyond).

Last August (“As reader behaviour evolves, so must the tools we use to measure it”), I cited information from our study that told us Canadians believe daily newspapers are the most credible and comprehensive news source. Television was second and the Internet was highest for comprehensiveness among young adults.

The Internet responses may actually include newspaper Web sites as we continue the uphill battle to promote the newspaper as a platform-agnostic offering.

NADbank asks Canadians which medium they rely on as their primary source for a variety of content and information. Contrary to their response that newspapers provide the most credible and comprehensive information, most adults say they turn to TV, and in many cases the Internet, for their news and information.

Why? What does this mean?

Once they arrive at the door, newspaper readers tell us they read the newspaper to read the news. This does not vary across age or gender.

Where readership differs is in the “other” content offered by the newspaper: business, entertainment, health, etc. And readership of this content varies dramatically by age and gender; older women love the health pages, and young men devour the sports and automotive coverage.

Is reading passé? I would say not. Nearly eight in 10 Canadian adults read a newspaper each week, more than half every day. Book stores are thriving online and many with bricks and mortar outlets.

Information is the new currency for success in today’s economy.

Are newspapers capitalising on how best to use new technology and distribution channels? The Internet provides new ways to consume information. All media companies are exploring new and different approaches to take advantage of the attributes of that platform: print, video, audio, interactive, or pushed information.

Is print dead? Not in the short-term. Linking print and online continues to be a winning strategy.

Success comes in providing people with what they want, in the form that they want it. It is a Twitter world: short sentences with lots of visuals, traditionally TV’s strength. Web sites provide newspapers the oppourtunity to compete in this format.

Today’s newspapers provide an experience, a brand of content, presentation, style, and context. Aggregation and blogs are not content; they are algorithms and opinions on content.

Aggregators do not put their lives in danger in war-torn countries to provide insight into political situations that readers cannot experience. And bloggers generally use the content as the source for their work.

Both these aspects of news-gathering are important and valuable, but they are not the foundation of what readers are looking for. The news comes first, then the context and colour.

All this has a price: the cost to pay good journalists and a price to purchase and employ the technology to make all this available to readers. Loyal readers understand this. Paid subscription models seem inevitable. But they are a consequence, not an end game. Without a business model, there is no newspaper.

We buy tickets for the exhibitions at the museum and, for the really excellent exhibitions, we stand in line to get in!

  • "A hidden wonder ..." The title refers to the fact that, compared to other cities of art, Vercelli, and its large Cathedral, or the Cathedral of Saint Eusebius, are given little. The Cathedral of Saint Eusebius is large and majestic and contains many items of interest: the tomb of Sant'Amadeo di Savoia, the tomb of Sant'Emiliano in Vercelli and the Lady chapel, the chapel of Saint Helena, the SWAT pipe organs, etc. etc. ... It was originally an early Christian Church, which was rebuilt so important during the Counter Reformation, with various modifications over the centuries. Therefore one can call it a hybrid structure, with many things to note and study. Must for guests visiting Vercelli. And it is especially nice in the winter when there is almost none.
    View original
  • Built on the site where there was an early Christian basilica in the 3rd ^ century and dedicated to Saint Eusebius, the first bishop of the city, the Cathedral offers the viewer an awesome juxtaposition of volumes and an uncommon juxtaposition of styles, which go from the Romanesque Bell Tower of the 12th century to the late nineteenth-century addende designed to better celebrate the figure of the Saint. The Interior is great, with three naves, dominated by the large crucifix and enriched by the famous Madonna of slap. Don't miss it, well worth your time and attention.

  • IMPRESSIVE Really immense and worthy of a capital as Vercelli. On the external façade you notice the huge statues of the 12 Apostles. The belfry is older than the building of the Cathedral. Not far away there is the Archbishopric, and if it's the right day, go see the Vercelli Book and various treasures of the Cathedral.

The number of young Irish men being ordinated to the priesthood in Ireland has dropped below competing figures in England and Wales for the first time in living memory.

The plummeting number of vocations are a dramatic departure for a country that once used to export Catholic missionaries globally and provided Britain with a significant proportion of its priests.

New figures released by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Ireland this week show that just 16 men are due to start training for the priesthood this autumn, less than half the 39 that signed up for the priesthood last year.

In contrast, back in the 1980's Ireland would regularly draw more than 150 new recruits to the priesthood every year.

Ireland’s newfound recruitment problems will be a cause for concern in Rome since it has always been seen by the Vatican as a stronghold of Catholic faith in secular Europe.

Over the last two decades, the Irish Catholic church’s reputation has been damaged by a series of widespread child sex abuse scandals and by the revelations that senior church officials deliberately covered up the crimes of paedophiles priests.

This year there are a total of 99 men training for priesthood in Irish seminaries compared with 150 in England and Wales.

"The recent difficulties with Church scandals mean that those thinking tentatively about priesthood, are not going to be launching themselves forward," Father Patrick Rushe, National Coordinator of Diocesan Vocations Directors in Ireland he told the Irish press. "This has been a difficult year for the Church and is bound to have an effect on numbers."

But Father Rushe suggested that the numbers this year were a "blip" and should return to a more steady level of 25 or 26 new vocations in the years to come.

The true extent of the crisis was revealed in 2008 when the Irish church admitted that 160 priests had died that year with only nine new ordinations.

Figures for Irish nuns were even more dramatic, with the deaths of 228 nuns and only two taking final vows for service in religious life last year.
