When family members place a loved one in a nursing home, they expect that a loved one will receive the utmost medical attention, services and care. They expect that if a loved one requires additional care, such as physical therapy, a check-up by a doctor or dental services, that a nursing home will provide this care. Unfortunately, there are thousands of nursing home residents who suffer from a lack of mobility and getting the exercise that they need in physical therapy programs. Even worse, more residents are actually the victims of abuse and neglect in the nursing home context.
Medicare routinely inspect, surveys and investigates filed complaints on every nursing facility in Ohio. According to the federal agency, 212 (32%) of the 966 Ohio nursing homes were found to have serious violations and deficiencies that led to harm. These facilities are now deemed below the national average because they provide their residents substandard care. If your loved one was abused, neglected, mistreated or died prematurely while residing in an Ohio nursing facility, we encourage you to contact the Ohio nursing home abuse & neglect lawyers at Nursing Home Law Center today to discuss a claim for compensation during a free case review.
In Ohio, a research study from the University of California-San Francisco indicates that over 28 percent of nursing homes were deficient in maintaining professional standards as well as providing sufficient quality of care. Researchers found that over 45 percent of nursing homes also had an unsafe environment for residents in 2008. This could mean that residents were using equipment in disrepair or that staff workers were not properly trained for transitions or positioning residents. Residents may have been at a greater risk for suffering from falls in hallways. If your loved one has suffered in any of these ways, then you should get in touch with an Ohio nursing home negligence lawyer today. An Ohio nursing home lawyer is available to investigate your case and give it the attention that it deserves.
In Ohio, nursing home abuse is a serious issue that the legislature has addressed in creating various statutes. The Adult Protective Services Act and Abuse, Neglect or Misappropriation of Residents' Property at Long-Term Care Facility Act govern the treatment of residents in Ohio. Under the Abuse Act, one is guilty of abusing a resident if he or she knowingly or recklessly causes physical harm to a resident. This could also include using a physical or chemical restraint to cause harm to a resident, isolating the resident or forcing a resident to consume medication as a form of punishment.
There are also several government authorities that family members can consult for additional information or to file a report of nursing home abuse. These departments are the Ohio Department of Health, Department of Aging, Department of Health-Division of Quality Assurance and the Long Term Care Ombudsman. Family members who are looking for a nursing home care facility for a loved one may wish to review the past history of a facility by contacting the ombudsman. The ombudsman maintains records for each nursing home facility in the state and can provide family members with information to help them make the right choice for a loved one. Family members should pay attention to whether a facility has a history of abuse or neglect in choosing a facility for a loved one.
Under the Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987, nursing home residents have certain rights that may not be trampled upon by administrators or workers. Even abstract rights like the right to dignity may not be impeded under this act. Other more practical rights stated in the Act include the right to be free from physical or chemical restraints, the right to be free from neglect and abuse, the right to be informed about medical decisions that impact a care plan, the right to receive comprehensive information about a care plan and the right to have a say in one's medical treatment. If a resident objects to a certain surgery or medicine due to religious reasons, then this objection must be honored by the medical staff at a nursing home. Otherwise, the staff workers may be liable for violating a resident's rights under the Act.
If your loved one has been abused or neglected, then it is time to take a stand against this unethical and truly disturbing behavior of nursing home workers and administrators.
Any type of bedsore in an advanced stage in an Ohio nursing home patient is often an indicator of neglect by the medical staff. This is because nearly all bedsores (pressure sores; pressure ulcers; decubitus ulcers) can be prevented when following the best protocols. Any pressure ulcer acquired in the facility usually indicates that the staff at the nursing home is poorly trained, uncaring or inattentive to the needs of the patient.
Pressure sores do not develop just because of old age. They occur when pressure from the body makes continual contact with the pad, mattress, bedding material or wheelchair. The pressure restricts blood flow, which minimizes the amount of oxygen reaching skin and tissue. Common areas for pressure ulcers include the neck, back of the head, shoulders and shoulder blades, sacrum, buttocks, ankles, toes and heels. A bedsore can develop in as little as two hours when the patient is immobile.
In fact, mobility-challenged individuals including wheelchair-bound or bedridden patients have the greatest potential for developing a bedsore. This is because these patients lack the capacity to readjust their body without assistance, which is necessary to alleviate the pressure. However, with routine "turnings" or readjustments by the staff every two hours or less the potential for developing a sore is eliminated.
Unfortunately, many nursing home administrators focus more on generating profits and less on properly training staff to provide premium care for every patient. In some situations, administrators will discharge or relocate the patient to another facility in an attempt to avoid litigation when the resident develops a severe bedsore. Our Ohio nursing home lawyers stand ready to assist your family when a loved one developed a pressure sore at a facility.
Stage I – At the beginning stage of a pressure sore, tiny red dots or small blisters will appear at the affected area on the skin. Alleviating the pressure, and keeping it off, is usually all that is required for healing if the damage of the skin is not permanent.
Stage II – When a stage I sore is allowed to progress to an advanced stage, a small crater could appear at the affected area where fatty deposits become exposed. During this stage, special wound dressings are necessary, and all pressure to the affected area must be eliminated until the wound heals completely.
Stage III – In this advanced stage, the pressure sore has begun to ulcerate significantly, creating a deep crater. In addition to using special wound dressings, debridement or cutting away the dead tissue is often necessary. The healing process at the stage is extensive and can take many months to complete, if possible.
Stage IV – In this critically life-threatening stage, the decubitus ulcer usually exposes the patient's bone, muscle and tendons at the affected site. At this stage, all the damage is most likely permanent. Debridement is crucial to remove all dead tissue and skin. Developing an infection is likely if the wound is not attended to continuously.
An infection of the bone (osteomyelitis) or blood (sepsis) can place the patient in grave danger. In fact, many nursing home patients succumb to a facility-acquired pressure sore due to an infection.
Family members with a loved one suffering a bedsore can hire an Ohio pressure sore lawyer to stop the negligent action at the nursing home immediately. A skilled nursing home negligence attorney with years of experience in handling medical malpractice claims will take steps to report the abuse to every appropriate nursing facility regulatory agency.

I've been using various computer apps for some 35 years, and the Acorn TV app for the Apple TV is the worst app I've ever had to use.
To begin, the menu system is completely illogical and user hostile. Unlike, Netflix, with the Acorn app for Apple TV once you have selected the program you want (not always easy with the execrable new Apple TV remote), you then get to try and figure out which episode is next in the queue because Acorn doesn't bother to queue up the next one. You still have to figure out which one it is, with no clues whatsoever.
Just finding the program itself is sometimes a challenge. If you go to the recently watched list, and click on the program you want, rather than bringing up the overview screen for the program (from which you can at least begin your search for the next episode to watch), it just starts the episode you've already watched. And if you hit the go-back button, it just bumps you back out to the home screen rather than the more logical overview screen for that program.
To top off the fun, it will, as often as not, simply refuse to play a program no matter how many times you hit enter on the pad portion of the remote. I end up AirPlaying it from my iPad.
The Acorn App for the Apple TV is completely broken. Which is a shame because the app for the iPad and iPhone — a completely different app — is quite good, And the programming is brilliant. If you can get it to play. Shameful!
Thank you for taking the time to post this review. We understand your concerns, and our new Apple TV app will be released this summer, incorporating user feedback. We are glad you are enjoying Acorn TV programming, and we thank you for your patience as we continue to improve your experience.
It works now on all devices, finally, though I will never understand the management process that made the customer experience so bad. And I am still surprised that they did not contact users who had written or called them.
Now it works, and content is good. But unlike other streaming we use, Acorn is unique in not making it easy to see where we left off in watching episodes. This is not a good way to be unique.
First Acorn removed essential functionality (tracking progress on series, for example). Then the app stops working with iPads and iPhones. Then the app stops working with Apple TV. And through it all Acorn decides not to reach out to customers to describe the situation and their progress, and not to tell customers that their remaining option is to log in on web browser. So, self-created technical problems compounded by a poor customer service decision. I think Acorn is shooting itself in the foot. I wonder what will happen to # subscribers, and how many will take this as a signal to try Britbox.
An addition to my review from a week ago. At that time Acorn sent me an email telling me they had reset my password and that the app would work with the reset password. It did not. I just received the exact same message. And exactly like before, nothing changes with the reset password. This feels a bit like like the Keystone Cops.
Thank you for taking the time to post this review. We understand your concerns, and our new Apple TV app will be released this summer, incorporating user feedback. If you are in need of assistance, please contact our customer support team and they will help you right away with any technical issues: support@rlje.freshdesk.com. We are constantly working to improve the user experience and we value your feedback!
Update: Crashing every time launched under iOS 11.3. Apple TV version frequently fails to connect, requiring log out and back in, restarting the Apple TV, or both. Nothing but canned, usually inapplicable replies from tech support and no updates. If Acorn wasn't the only place some of this content was available, I'd have cancelled my subscription by now. Avoid this service if you can find the content you want anywhere else.
So far it looks good, though there were several aspects of the previous version, including the ability to select a search and see just the episodes in that season rather than the new version which has all the seasons and episodes in a single list with no ability to just view a single season's episodes. Time will tell whether this version is stable in it's current release and whether it's more reliable with AirPlay then the previous releases tended to be. I'm also very hopeful of an app for the 4th-generation Apple TV so that I don't have to stream from my iPad.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. We understand your concerns with our app and we apologize for the initial issues with compatibility with iOS 11.3. We have since released an update that will resolve these issues for your iPhone and iPad. We are also pleased to be releasing a new Apple TV app this summer, incorporating user feedback. Thank you for subscribing to Acorn TV. We appreciate your patience as we work to improve your experience.

AG: It's PM and Cabinet who wage war, not Agong
The Attorney-General, Tommy Thomas, said those vulnerable to prosecution are the PM and Cabinet.
KUALA LUMPUR: Attorney-General Tommy Thomas today said that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, though the supreme commander of the armed forces, would not be held responsible for any decision by the prime minister, the Cabinet and defence ministry on a declaration of war.
Thomas said this in reference to a British inquiry into the Iraq war where former British prime minister Tony Blair was called up instead of Queen Elizabeth II, the constitutional monarch and the commander of the armed forces.
"So, if war is declared, although the Agong is the supreme commander of armed forces, the decision to go to war is always made by the prime minister, the Cabinet and the minister of defence and, operationally, the general who runs the war or the admiral in the navy.
"If Malaysia commits a war crime, the people who are vulnerable to ICC (International Criminal Court) prosecution will be the prime minister, the Cabinet, the minister of defence, the generals but never the King because he is a constitutional monarch," he said at a public forum on Malaysia and the Rome Statute.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Malaysia would withdraw from ratifying the Rome Statute because of political confusion among the people.
The ICC is aimed at ending immunity to the most serious criminal offenders considered a threat to the international community involving genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity and crimes of aggression, such as invasion.
The forum featured prominent panellists such as G25 member Noor Farida Ariffin, constitutional law expert Emeritus Professor Shad Saleem Faruqi and lawyer Lim Wei Jiet.
Responding to a question from the floor during the Q&A session, on why he could not convince the Conference of Rulers to support the government decision, Thomas said that he was not in the same room with four academicians who presented a memorandum on the Rome Statute to the Rulers.
"If the five of us were in the room, the way the dialogue would happen is each of us would have commented on the other, and if I heard the arguments of the other four, I would have the chance to comment on them and they have the chance to comment on mine…but that opportunity did not happen," he said.
The four academics have been partly blamed for allegedly misleading the Conference of Rulers on the Rome Statute with a biased paper on the treaty.
Organisers of today's forum said the four academics were not present today although they had been invited to be among the panellists.

President of the Gazprom-Ugra club Peter Sozonov – about the victory of his team in the Cup of Russia of the 2018/19 season.
– The decisive factor that allowed us to overcome "Tyumen" was the desire and perseverance of the team. Played "one for all and all for one." In the Russian futsal today there are no weak opponents, in every match you need to tune in to a tough sporting fight. Huge words of gratitude I want to say to the address of "Tyumen", which has imposed a real fight on us: both at home and here in Yugorsk. We were losing 0-2, and only desire, only steadfastness of our spirit allowed to turn the situation in the opposite direction and win the trophy. Both games full of individual plays, this is a difficult test not only for the players, but also for the referees. Personally, I have no questions towards the judges. The arbitrators were fair in the first fight, and in the second. In general, in recent years, the judiciary corps of the Association of futsal of Russia has significantly improved the quality of work both in the national championship and in the cup.

The Scott Report and the Making of the Modern Countryside - 'How penetrating was the Scott report's analysis of rural problems and what were the consequences of its recommendations?'
The integrity of each has been called into question as much as the Report itself. Questions have even arisen whether the alleged author Scott actually wrote the report. Each contributor's bias, some would claim, is clearly visible in the message the report conveys. Hudson, for example, the Minister of agriculture, wanted to push agricultural issues higher up the political scale. Stamp, the author of many geography book, wanted to promote the importance of topography. Scott on the other hand viewed agriculture as a precious piece of heritage and thus wanted it to be treated as such.
This project is about the farming in the Bahamas. Areas we are going to cover are agriculture, subsistence farming in Bahamas, marketing of local crops, and also the result and effects of poor agricultural practices
Slash and Burn Method * Using cutlasses a diminutive area of dense natural vegetation is cleared. The thickness of the natural growth tells the farmer that the soil and water supply is probably good. The plants cut down to stubble, with only larger trees remaining. The remains, is spread equally all over the plot, left to dry, and is then burnt. The ash adds nutrients to the soil. Ash adds potassium to the soil, a mineral needed by plants. Crops are planted in the ash-enriched soil. Although the burning enriches the soil, it has some detrimental effects.
Case Study of Rural Rebranding by the Forestry Commission in Wales Coed-Y-Brenin Forest, Snowdonia
This strategy was revised 2 years ago and is always a work in progress. This lasts until at least 50 years, where each new party has to follow this. Rebranding at Coed-y-Brenin and other forest areas in Wales They are a non-profit organisation and they are a primary producer of a primary resource. They are there to manage how the forest is run. These include how much would should be cut, where it should be cut and who is allowed to get it. They also buy more land and plant more trees there, increasing their land.
The Role and Importance of Agriculture In the Carribean. Organisations involved in its development. The role of soils and plant types.
In addition to earning foreign exchange, the agriculture sector may also produce food and raw material for local consumption; this reduces the need to import similar products, resulting in the saving of foreign exchange. The foreign exchange earned and saved is used to purchase other goods and services which the country needs/want but does not produce. Imported products must be purchased using foreign exchange. In addition to trading, foreign exchange is also used to repay international debt.

Summarise the advantages and disadvantages of extracting Alaskan oil
Alaska also moved from being the most heavily taxed state to being the most tax-free. This shows the economy of the state had been boosted significantly since the construction of the TAPS. The construction of the TAPS also provided job opportunities for the local people. For this project, over 21 000 people were at work at the same time.
Explain threats to biodiversity
These valuable ecosystems are degrading fast under the pressure of many human activities. For example Coastal development, sedimentation, overfishing, global warming, and marine pollution each pose a threat to coral reefs. One threat to the Coral Reefs is Overfishing. Fisheries in the Caribbean are often open access with few regulations and the location and distribution of the fish can be highly predictable. This means that the Caribbean Coral reefs are particularly at risk to overfishing. Especially in parts of the Eastern Caribbean as there is often more fisheries competing in a larger area.

Indeed, there are limitations to this method; essentially the fact that most of the data collected has originated from websites of the press and, more importantly, the respective stadiums' occupiers and constructors. This indicates a possible bias in the findings. This method is, however, the only viable one, largely due to the inaccessibility of primary data for reasons of copyright and protection. Analysis Stadium construction generally imposes positive social externalities on the area involved. The construction of the New Wembley Stadium was part of an overall plan to regenerate Brent in North-west London.
What are the main characteristics of high-tech (high technology) industry? (b) Describe and explain the locational requirements of different types of manufacturing industry.
(b) Describe and explain the locational requirements of different types of manufacturing industry. India is a location which now meets the locational requirements of the car industry. Ford Company is now manufacturing in the Indian city of Madras. Its labour intensive car industry has become a tremendous job creator and a crucial driver of economic growth. The main locational requirement being a large pool of skilled workers. 0nly about half of the almost 4,000 people employed by Ford India in Madras are blue-collar workers and even they are highly trained. There is a workforce of 10 million across Bangalore, Delhi and Madras working in factories making cars, motorcycles, tractors and trucks - or in sales and service centres.
Account for the rise and subsequent decline of consumer industries in MEDC's
The 1960s, or the "age of mass consumption", was the period of time in which, consumer industries saw their greatest growth. This was largely due to an increase of technology and a higher disposable income, meaning goods could be produced for a lower cost and that more people could afford to buy things in addition to necessities. People in MEDCs had a larger disposable income because everyday goods like food and clothes were being manufactured (or grown) abroad in LEDCs and could be transported to MEDCs for much cheaper than before, therefore people could buy these goods for less money (relatively), in addition to this wages in general were rising because of a strong economies in MEDCs.
Examine the changing importance of transport costs on the location of industry
Weber explained that an entrepreneur would situate their factory in the "least cost location" in order to achieve "profit maximisation", Weber theorised that transport costs were equal to weight x distance that the product would have to be transported. Weber explained that when a product lost mass during production (for example the extraction of iron from iron ore) then the factory would be situated near the source of raw material because in this location it was cheapest to transport the goods - you weren't transporting material that was going to be thrown away.
Economics Development Commentary
Brazil seems to be planning an export oriented development plan where it is going to concentrate on exporting ethanol. An export oriented development plan is when a country chooses to concentrate on exports opening its industries to worldwide competition and eliminating most protectionism policies (polices taken to protect local industries). In the case of Brazil the country is choosing one industry in particular to concentrate on its exports. As the price of oil rises and with increasing concerns over the world's climate, there is a constant search for alternative sources of energy.
Discuss the use of Parathion and its affects on the wider social and environmental world.
withdrew the use of Parathion in 1992 on some agricultural crops like fruit, nuts and vegetable. However it is now in use to contain pesticide on alfalfa, barley, corn, cotton, sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers and wheat. History of Parathion The history of Parathion dates back to as early as World War II. A German chemist Dr. Gerhard Schrader, employed in 1940 by a chemical company IG Farben, (a division of Bayer AG) was experimenting with chemical compounds like organophosphate, trying to discover a new pesticide, in the hope to fight famine in austere times. He discovered the compound organophosphates, was known to kill insects by interrupting their nervous system.
Major innovations in agriculture have always proved to be controversial. With reference to recent changes in agriculture evaluate the validity of this statement.
This earned admiration for India in the comity of nations, especially in the Third World. However this has put many farmers in debt because they had to purchase HYVs seeds for every growing season, this increases the cost of production. The transition from traditional agriculture in which inputs were generated on-farm to Green Revolution agriculture, which required the purchase of inputs, lead to the widespread establishment of rural credit institutions. Smaller farmers often went into debt, which in many cases result in a loss of rights to their farmland. The increased level of mechanization on larger farms made possible by the Green Revolution removed an important source of employment from the rural economy.
Using an example of an industry you have studied. Describe and explain its growth and decline. Evaluate the success of government policy in regenerating the area.
The collapse of the colonial system meant that the market for British's coal was minimized. Britain was also faced with cheap imports from overseas and this led to closure of many coal mines. The coal mines in South Wales were not modernized because the valley floor was too narrow for large machinery to access. Without mechanization, mines were forced to close down due to high competitions from overseas such as Wyoming and Australia. By the 1970s there were only two steelworks left in South Wales, but they were located on the coast at Port Talbot and Llawern.
Describe the Changes In Farming in the 18th Century and the 19th Century. Explain why these changes were needed and how they improved the lives of people in this period?
These men were seen as having triumphed over a conservative mass of country Bumpkins. They are thought to have single-handedly, in a few years, transformed English agriculture from a peasant subsistence economy to a thriving capitalist agricultural system, capable of feeding the explosion of people in the new industrial cities. People started using Selective Breeding, like getting two of the biggest animals of the same species and breeding them to get a huge baby of the animal, and by doing so creating more meat for the industrial cities as well as for them selves.
Improvements made to arable farming in the latter half of the 18th century were the new crops and new rotations and the new methods of improving the land. Charles Townshend introduced a new crop rotation called the Norfolk four-course rotation
New crops such as turnips, which was introduced by Charles Townshend, rape, clover, swedes and manglewurzels were good fodder for the animals, other new crops which were introduced were trefoil, lucerne and sanfoin which enriched the soil with nitrogen. These improved the quality of the soil so it was better to grow other crops on such as wheat and barley etc. There were many methods of improving the land such as the use of dung or animal manure to fertilize the land or crushed bones which Thomas Coke used from 1770. This would help to produce bigger and better crops.
Explain why there is a need for world development There is a need for world development because the gap between the rich and poor is getting wider and many lives are lost needlessly.
There are many deaths that are easily treatable but cause so many deaths in the 'third world'. The less developed countries are poor because they may have corrupt government officials that spend money on less important things such as civil wars and the production of weapons. The money isn't equally distributed throughout the world, some people have luxuries that are unnecessary such as pointless electronics e.g. hair dryers when others starve to death and struggle to survive. Some people argue that we do help the less developed countries by giving them food but this only comes not so often.
WHY CANNOT U.S. AND EU REACH AGREEMENT ON AGRICULTURE (DOHA ROUND)?
The purpose was to agree on the Doha Development Agenda, and from there negotiate opening agricultural and manufacturing markets. The intent of the round was to make trade rules fairer for developing countries. Negotiations on agriculture began in early 2000, under Article 20 of the WTO Agriculture Agreement. By November 2001 and the Doha Ministerial Conference, 121 governments had submitted a large number of negotiating proposals. The declaration reconfirms the long-term objective already agreed in the present WTO Agreement: to establish a fair and market-oriented trading system through a programme of fundamental reform2. Also, the programme encompasses strengthened rules, and specific commitments on government support and protection for agriculture.
Evaluate the factors that influence the decision-making process when locating a modern industrial plant.
Ultimately to any industry, its sales income from the retailing of its products illustrates how successful it is, meaning that a location close to markets is a prominent attraction, with its capital coming into play also here. August Losch's market area approach claims that industries will locate in the place that gives them the largest market and the biggest profit, meaning that it would be better to locate where most of the consumers are likely to be. A specific product's life cycle also influences the decision of where to locate an industrial plant according to a recently devised new location model by Vernon.
(b) Examine the causes of the decline in manufacturing employment in most MEDCs in recent years. Manufacturing in MEDCs such as England, U.S and France, has declined hugely in the past half century. There has been a major move toward the tertiary industry in the UK and other MEDCs. Other countries that are recently developed, such as China and Taiwan, are becoming the major forces in manufacturing. Most MEDCs are now post industrial economies, this means that the majority of employment in the country is now within the tertiary or quaternary industries. This is showed with the decline of secondary industries in the UK from nearly 40% in 1951 to a significantly smaller 27% in 1997.
Discuss the Advantages and Disadvantages of the use of Fertilisers and Pesticides in Agriculture
They are also clean and lack the smell of organic fertilisers; and are easier to handle and apply. Organic fertilisers add organic matter to the soil. This can reduce the soil erosion and improve water-holding properties. Also as it is often used as a waste product on mixed farms, applying farm manure to a plant crop is a useful way of disposing of this waste. The most commonly used fertilisers are the soluble inorganic (chemical) fertilisers. They are products of natural rocks; and contain cations and anions in a concentrated form. These cations and anions are the same as those that occur naturally in fertile soil3.
Critically examine the value of classical location theory (Weber) when applied to modern manufacturing industry.
He tested the model under the assumption that production and distribution are indivisible and independent of other industries. He then rejects this hypothesis with attentions to more real-world conditions in which factors of location may bring together or draw apart various aspects of industry, for example, the relation of raw materials to labour sources. Anyhow, Weber's model was mostly based upon transport costs, but however it did also take into account labour costs and agglomeration economics (the savings that could be made through sharing). He predicted that industries which experienced significant weight loss during manufacturing, such as the coal and steel industries, would locate as close as they could to the source of the raw material, thus saving money on the transport costs.
In what ways are banks in developing countries different from banks in financially developed economies?IntroductionThe recognition that our world is firmly segregated alongside lines of disparate economic development has been the starting poin
Here, generally speaking, a different banking sector prevails; implying different rules and modalities for conducting savings and investment. Development banks have been of special importance when analysing the banking sector in LDCs. While pointing at the historical role development banks have played throughout the industrialisation in today's rich countries, this paper will contrast the historical experience with development banks today. Special light will be shed on agricultural land banks, state-owned development banks, and multilateral development banks. By providing some case-studies and examples of these 'different', mostly non-commercial banks, this paper will also try to show their limitations.
Describe and explain the distribution of farming across the UK
The farmers have a income all year round as the temperature does not normally go below 5c. The soil needs to be fertile enough for good pasture growth, but not for arable crops. The ground can be Gently sloping. Cattle can not cope with land that is too steep Market Farming: this is the growing and selling of food and flowers for the public. They can often be exported to other countries. The temperature and water is usually controlled carefully by being in huge greenhouses.
How successful was Labour's programme of nationalisation? Labour's programme of nationalisation was based on the concept of state ownership
However, if Labour had waited many industries may have collapsed before they had the chance to introduce their plans and therefore I feel the immediate nationalisation was the right thing to do. Taking into account the problems the Labour government faced, I believe its achievements couldn't have been greater. Labour's attempts at planning the economy surpassed all efforts previously seen in Britain and brought considerable success. By 1950 there was full employment, with exports increasing and inflation under control. Labour's nationalisation programme bought about improved working conditions in many industries (with money being available whenever the government needed to invest

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of pest control
"In conclusion, it is fair to say that both types of pest control; pesticides and biological control have their advantages and disadvantages and it may depend on the type of crop or plant that the individual farmer grows that may decipher upon which system is most beneficial to that farmer. Pesticides have the disadvantage of their potentially dangerous and harmful chemical properties which are easily spread, however they are relatively cheap and effective. Biological control is advantageous for its lack of harmfulness to the environment and it's preserving of nature, however the process needs more research and is more time consuming and more difficult to fine tune."
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of pest control In the world today there is an ever increasing desire to increase agricultural efficiency in terms of producing
To what extent do the sources agree that Russian government policy on agriculture consistently failed and that peasants resisted it under both Tsarist and Communist rule?
"In Conclusion it can be argued that Stalin's policies on forced collectivisation resulted in fierce peasant's resistance and led to a disruption in agricultural productivity and famine similarly to late tsarist Russia. The end result was that peasant's households had been collectivised and private land ownership eliminated but it had helped Stalin's goal of rapid industrialisation. This bares strong similarities to Tsarist policies on agriculture examined in the sources. The Tsars, by using serfdom, prevented a large empire from breaking up. However, social and political unrest and the many unpopular policies introduced by the government that did not benefit the peasants eventually led to large scale peasant's resistance and ultimately ended tsarist rule."

The work staff party. Oh how I look forward to it. Not. Especially when it's not even my workplace! Hey, I have no problems with the people. In fact, Viv's co-workers are very nice and I have a blast with them. However, the whole schmoozing thing is not really my cup of tea. And especially just returning from Black Friday 2 hours prior! I was more tired than Charlie Sheen after a night of #winning. The last thing I wanted to do was party. As a good husband, I obliged and we made our way to Baci on Hastings. Incidentally, Viv has recently been here and thought it was decent. Well, we'll see h ow decent it is! Keep in mind that this was a large party. Despite the fact most of the items in the group menu are available on the regular menu, keep in mind this was an atypical visit to the restaurant.
We had a set menu which allowed us to choose our mains. Everyone started with a salad with a simple balsamic and EVOO dressing. Then we were all presented with a Penne mid-course. The pasta was al dente and bathed in a mild rose sauce. To kick things up a notch, I sprinkled some Parmesan and chili flakes to make my own Penne Arribbiatta of sor ts. After those additions, it was very good. For my main, I had the Basa Fillet with lemon butter sauce. I realize that basa isn't exactly an expensive fish, yet I actually like the texture. Call it a softer version of cod. This one was pan fried perfectly where it was moist while having a nice crust on the outside. The garlic white wine sauce was fantastic with tartness while still be quite balanced. All of us got the same accompaniments due to convenience (which we totally understand). The broccoli was cook right being still crunchy while the roast potato was soft on the inside. The orange glop on the plate was a mix of carrots and rutabaga. Despite several strang e faces made by other diners after they found out it was rutabaga, it was actually quite good. Nice texture and sweetness.
Viv, being the meat-eater that she is, went for the Vitello alla Parmigiana. Well, I actually wanted it myself, but for variety purposes, I went for the fish. The piece of veal was quite substantial and fried up nicely. The outside was crisp while there was very little in the way of mushy spots. The meat itself was fairly moist. It could've been a touch more juicy, yet it wasn't too bad. We liked the m arinara sauce, it had a nice consistency with a good balance of tartness. I liked this more than the fish I ordered. Doh! The other meat option was the Pollo alla Baci (or chicken breast with brandy and mushroom cream sauce. Some people remarked that the butterflied chicken breast looked like a heart. For me, it looked like someone's rear end. No matter, the chicken was moist while the sauce was flavourful and rich. Nothing amazing while solid nonetheless.
For the vegetarian option, it was a Risotto with the same accompanying veg etables. To me, this didn't look like a lot of food. Furthermore, the risotto was pretty average. Nothing terrible, yet at the same time, nothing memorable. I guess forgivable since they were super busy? Obvious from the picture that the risotto remained in a clump and didn't spread. Lastly, we were all presented with Tiramisu for dessert. I liked the lady fingers were soaked while not being drenched. I personally can't stand "wet" tiramisu. I didn't get a big espresso hit and the flavours were pretty mild. However, I thought it was good tiramisu based on the textures. This was a pretty solid end to a decent meal considering the circumstances. For su ch a small kitchen, we were pretty impressed with the overall quality of the food. Was it awesome? Of course and we weren't expecting as much. For a large party, you merely want food that is decent. Baci was able to do that and based on Viv's previous visit, they may not be my first choice, but they're decent enough.
"Pollo alla Baci (or chicken breast with brandy and mushroom cream sauce. Some people remarked that the butterflied chicken breast looked like a heart. For me, it looked like someone's rear end."
Too funny, esp. right after the Charlie Sheen reference, lol !

In the previous column, we began responding to a question posed by a ba'al teshuva who wanted to make sure that his frum-from-birth children be well integrated, healthy and normal frum Jews. Here is part II.
In the previous column, we discussed the distinctions between a mitzvah, minhag, chumrah, and something that is none of those three categories, but rather a cultural practice.
Putting on tefilin is a daily mitzvah (a mandated commandment) incumbent upon all Jewish males above the age of thirteen.
Refraining from dipping matzoh in liquids on Pesach (commonly referred to as "gebrokts") is a minhag (a custom – one only observed in some communities).
Not using an eiruv that has been approved by the vast majority of your city's rabbonim is a chumrah (stringency) that many accept upon themselves.
Wearing a black fedora is a cultural practice prevalent in some communities.
It is of utmost importance that you fully understand the difference between these categories of Jewish practice – in your personal life and especially as you guide your children. It may be helpful to think of these categories as spiritual "needs and wants." Mitzvos are mandatory practices. Chumros need not be observed, especially when one is first beginning Torah observance.
In reality, the harm caused by blurring the lines between these four components of Torah life is not limited to ba'alei teshuva. It is something that many FFB parents engage in as well. Allow me to share an analogy with you that might shed light on this matter.
Imagine if you were having a talk about safety with your six-year old child and you used the same tone of voice to describe the dangers of crossing the street without looking, taking a ride from a stranger, forgetting to brush one's teeth and eating too many snacks.
While you may wish to impart all these values to your child, lumping all four of them together will not give him/her the context necessary to prioritize them.
As we noted in the previous column, the complexity of these issues only underscores the need to find and maintain contact with a Rov who understands you well and can guide your family with wisdom.
I think it is very important for the stability of your family life and your level of personal menuchas hanefesh (tranquility) to maintain ties with your non-observant parents and in-laws. I am well aware that there are those who advise ba'alei teshuvah parents to sever their ties with non-observant family members for fear of confusing their children. However, I feel that this thinking is fundamentally flawed in theory and practice.
In theory, what kind of message does it send when you walk away from your parents and siblings once you begin Torah observance? Shouldn't the Torah teach you an enhanced level of respect for your family members?
In practice, as it relates to your children, I think that severing relationships with your family robs your children unnecessarily of the unconditional love that grandparents have to offer. It will be difficult enough for them to watch their FFB-family friends celebrate their simchos with large extended family members. Why compound the pain by having them feel that they are rootless?
I would like to mention a final point on this subject – one that may not be evident at first glance. When you exhibit tolerance for family members, you are making a profound statement – that family bonds run deep and they override any differences that you may have with each other. Over the years, this unspoken lesson will serve your children well and enhance the respect that they will have for you. For you never know how things will turn out with your own children. What if one of them decides to take a different path in life than the one you charted for him/her? If you send clear and consistent messages over the years that 'family matters,' that child will, in all likelihood, remain close to your family members. However, if you decided that spiritual matters are grounds for severing ties with parents and siblings, how do you know that this logic will not be used against you in a different context one or two decades down the road?
To be sure, there are many challenges that you will face regarding kashrus (kosher food requirements), tzniyus (modesty), and other matters. But they are very manageable provided that an atmosphere of mutual respect is created and nurtured. Over the years, I have attended hundreds of lifecycle events of ba'alei teshuvah where their non-observant family members were active and respected participants.
It is of utmost importance that you find a community that will accept you with welcoming arms. That means one where you will not cringe with what-will-the-neighbors-think when your non-observant brother comes to visit. If you do feel that way in your community, you may not be in the right one.
As far as selecting schools is concerned, there too, see to it that the school's educational philosophy is in general sync with yours. Often, I get calls from parents who are put off by certain policies (dress codes, media exposure regulations, etc.) that their children's schools maintain or the culture of the institution (What will the rebbi say about Thanksgiving, and does it match how you feel about it?). And equally often, these guidelines were in place when the parents enrolled their children in the first place. One cannot blame a school for enforcing their stated policies.
Generally speaking, I think that ba'alei teshuvah parents should not enroll their children in Yiddish-teaching yeshivos. I am aware of the cultural reasons that people are inclined to do so, but in the case of ba'alei teshuvah, I think that this is simply bad practice – unless you are fluent in Yiddish yourself. It will be difficult enough to do Judaic studies homework with your children as they grow older, without compounding matters by adding language barriers, that will virtually guarantee that you will not understand what your child is learning, let alone be in a position to help him or her.
To sum up, when raising your FFB children, as with all other areas of life, follow the timeless advice of Shlomo Hamelech (King Solomon) and stay on 'the golden path' of moderation. It is the quintessential road map for success.

Heritage Bulletin
Reading a number of articles, social media posts and calls for papers once again archivists seem to be obsessed with the idea of identity. The Oxford English Dictionary gives two definitions "The fact of being who or what a person or thing is." And "A close similarity or affinity"; synonyms include: character, originality and specification. Previously in this blog we have explored what archives are, what is an archivist and how that has changed in 20th century. There are many topics which could be explored surrounding archives and identity; Archives themselves are the keepers of identity for particular communities, groups or organisations. In this week's blog through the Royal Voluntary Service Archive & Heritage collection we'll explore how a charity's identity can be projected by its archive.
In Charity Archives in the 21st Century Matthew our Archivist described Charity Archives as holding "the collective memory of this vitally important part of our history" in reference to philanthropy and charitable work in previous centuries when volunteering started to develop in the form it takes today. So what do charity archives tell us about identity in terms of the charity, the nation and in case of RVS in particular the character of volunteering.
Of course this isn't the place for an in-depth discussion on identity so these are just some examples of identity in archives; the whole blog is a refection of parts of Royal Voluntary Services identity and many more can be found in the archives and the work it does today. The development of WVS to Royal Voluntary Service can be traced through its documents but also the items of clothing it holds. Since the rise of the teenager in the 1950s part of people's identity has been their clothing, their unique style. Looking through our extensive collection of uniform and how it has changed over the years you can see why WVS was referred to as the 'women in green'. Over the years styles changed but not the colours showing how recognisable the WVS and later WRVS wanted to make itself through a physical identity and that it was an organisation that moved with the times. Along with other organisations in the 1980s and 1990s it moved towards more casual wear. In 2004 WRVS changed its brand identity completely losing the red and green and going for orange and purple; a physical representation of the twelve year transition from crown service to charity. However during 75th anniversary celebrations WRVS became Royal Voluntary Service and went back to red and green identifying with its roots and heritage. While the archive represents the identity of the charity it also epitomizes the identity of a nation.
Our archives do not just signify the identity of the charity; it represents the story of welfare for a nation. WVS was founded at a time when the nation was preparing for war but also at a time when ideas about how to care for society's most vulnerable were changing. The poor houses and work houses were disappearing but there wasn't yet the provision of the welfare state and the NHS but they were on their way. The Records of the Royal Voluntary Service's Archives show how WVS bridged the gap through 1939-1945 with clubs, feeding, clothing exchanges, welfare foods and many others. Posters, Photographs, Narrative Reports and documents on policy all demonstrate the identity of Great Britain as a philanthropic nation with many people wanting to give their time to help those in need. Today Royal Voluntary Service still enables people across Great Britain to give their time to help others.
A prime example is work in hospitals particularly Trolley Shops, this year some hospitals are celebrating 70 years of having a trolley run by our volunteers. WVS covered a whole range of hospital services during the Second World War including supply depots, food, fundraising and domestic work. When staff started to return at the end of the war WVS were asked not to overlap but to still support hospital services. WVS developed a range of services for the benefit of patients' physical and mental wellbeing as well as supporting the hospitals' needs. While developing the NHS, the Ministry of Health asked Lady Reading for support where hospitals would not meet patients' needs. Lady Reading of course agreed; while personal shopping services had existed since 1946 Trolley Shops were one of the first WVS services to appear within the NHS in 1948 by 1949 there were 183 trolley shops across the country. For members then and volunteers today trolley shops were/are all about providing a service to make patients feel special, to give them independence and connections with the world outside and supporting the NHS. A pivotal part of our national identity and in the archives this identity can be found in photographs, publications and central registry files which help us give local services a clear identity and heritage. The Archive represents many identities and another of these is the character of the volunteer.
The Character of the Volunteer
Founder Chairman Lady Reading was one of the first women to sit in the House of Lords, in 1958 she had a coat of arms designed for her title Baroness Swanbrough. She wanted it to epitomise WVS and the motto was "Not why we can't but how we can". Lady Reading had many strong views on the subject of volunteering which have informed people's own beliefs today about giving their time for RVS services, in an interview in 1960 she said:
"Voluntary service, to my mind, is the proud expression of responsibility undertaken by an individual as an accepted duty"
The shelves of our archives are full of examples of that proud expression, many selfless acts of volunteering and what it means to be a volunteer. Oral histories and reports written by centre organisers on a monthly basis provide us with first-hand accounts and memories of service beyond self over 80 years of history. I know of many examples which would show you the character of volunteering but I have chosen the following:
Narrative Report, members of Sheffield WVS after an air raid 12th-15th December 1940
Oral History Barbara Statham, rebuilding the Hospital Canteen at Bromham, Bedfordshire (1990s)
To me these examples show how volunteers will try and help where ever they can and shows how we can use archives to find the identity of the concept of volunteering and use it influence us today.
Having a strong identity helps us to make decisions and being able to identify it from their archives can allow charities to learn about their past and look in to their future. The Royal Voluntary Service represents three identities that of the charity itself, the nation and the character of volunteering. All of these identities of course represent a charity which has been part of the fabric of the nation for 80 years. This blog has given just a few examples of the records and objects which can represent these identities; there are many more to be discovered on the Archive Online and Our History pages of the website.

"Reader Emails," Paradise Episode 4 Mini Recap, Hannah/DWTS
Posted on August 14, 2019 7:05 am
Photo Credit: ABC
Like everyone else who emails in, long time reader, appreciate what you do, blah, blah, blah. I was inclined to email in for the first time for several reasons. I will preface this with that I did not watch tonight's (Tuesday's) episode.
1.) Tyler and Hannah. Ugh. I am glad he finally posted something in his stories about how his BFF needs to stop starting crap on Instagram regarding his relationships with Hannah and GiGi, and I'm glad Hannah did end up taking the high road, too, when she asked people to stop tearing GiGi down. But, I really feel Hannah dug herself in a hole with her response to Rachel on the Podcast. I love her, but she is so impulsive sometimes. She needs to wait an hour before responding to things that make her emotional. The Luke Twitter exchanges, the questions regarding Tyler…they certainly remind you of her age. I imagine the backlash she received is why she posted about not doing well. Poor girl. I didn't see what Tyler posted. And yeah, Hannah has been taking some heat since her season ended. But all leads do for the most part. She's gotta not pay attention to what people who don't matter say to/about her. If she doesn't, she'll constantly be in this state. It's not healthy.
2.) This situation with Caelynn and Blake is crazy. In my opinion, Blake was justified in releasing those texts. I totally agree with so much of what you said in your post today (Monday). Caelynn told everyone who would listen on that beach awful things about Blake, potentially destroying the chance of him being in a relationship that could have gone somewhere. Further, when she pulled Blake aside, it was obvious she was lying not only by his reaction but also the fact that she refused to stick around and talk when he kept asking her not to go. Clearly, he wanted to find out where he went wrong, but she had no interest, likely because she didn't want him to reveal something that would make her look bad. He even tried to talk to her again at the rose ceremony, and she was so dismissive. Then her making out with Cam? Bad look all around. Like you said, it was obviously just to get a rose. I don't know why Cam ever thought she was serious about him. I also saw Caelynn's Instagram reaction, which just continued many of her lies, but I also don't know why she didn't just say some of the stuff she said after they slept together was sarcasm. I can totally see that some of those messages about being fine and whatnot were sarcastic, if they really had been talking on the phone like she mentioned. That's her only real defense, in my opinion.
3). Dean speaking out saying exposing those messages is a form of slut shaming? Is he insane? At no point did Blake say or even imply that Caelynn is a slut. He actually told people to stop attacking her. Sit down, Dean. I'm shocked he is capable of caring about someone besides himself so much to even make a comment. I imagine him sticking up for her certainly doesn't buy her any respect. It's his current girl. Of course he's gonna say shit to defend her. Nothing else he could do and it was fully expected.
4.) I am shocked Tanner and Nick came out saying all that stuff about Blake. Is that because they're so far up Dean's ass? Even if all the Blake stuff were true, I'd still respect him more than Nick and Dean…combined. There are cliques in this franchise. And those cliques stay together. Simple as that.
5.) All that being said, I do want to say that it is ridiculous how people are attacking her for having sex because she's a sexual assault survivor. I'm so happy you spoke out to say that last week. She's allowed to be a sexual being. As a victim myself, I know that there are usually two extremes people take afterward: they don't want sex at all or they want sex often. For myself, I know giving consent became a huge factor in me getting past the situation. It probably seems weird to a nonsurvivor, but taking the power back was hugely helpful in my healing. I'm not saying Caelynn is in the same boat; I'm just saying that I totally get being a victim and still enjoying casual sex. They are not mutually exclusive things. I have no problem with her wanting sex. Or even coming on to Blake for it. That's not what I took out of the texts anyway. It was more about how on TV she's saying how disrespected she felt by him and being ghosted, but there she is AFTER being ghosted wanting to sleep with the guy? Then she's whining about it afterwards? Makes no sense.
6.) I actually cannot believe Hannah and Dylan get engaged. I think it is so obvious she isn't actually into him; she's just getting bullied into being with him because her friends think he's a good guy. He seems so obsessive and insecure to me. I don't see them lasting very long at all. They're definitely still engaged and doing well. So I guess we'll see. It's only been a little over a month though. Who knows.
Hi Steve!
Just want to offer a quick (apparently unpopular) opinion on Dylan. It's nice that he's so committed to her but I don't understand how Bachelor Nation is so into him. He barely knows Hannah and seems possessive and controlling. Hannah can make her own decisions and doesn't need him to come rescue her on that beach. She was a willing participant in that. The point of paradise is to explore relationships and she is not in a committed relationship with Dylan. Pull back the reins bro. It's especially weird after everyone was all about Hannah making her own decisions and empowering women etc. As an aside, my husband thinks she looks 14 and it's like when your younger sister starts developing and all your friends think she's hot but you're just creeped out… because it's your 14 year old sister… long story short he is not into her lol.
Also thankful for Jordan and Demi for providing the needed levity. Please have Jordan back on your podcast to discuss this season! I'm so sad he leaves so quickly.
Comment: I hope to have Jordan on again in the future. I think he'll do it.
Hi! Your site is my guilty pleasure and I look forward to it weekly.
This season of Paradise has not been enjoyable to watch in my opinion! I was a huge Hannah G. supporter but can't say that I am anymore. My question, do you think she'll redeem herself as the season goes on?! I don't understand how we'll get to an engagement at this point.
Comment: I mean, after the next rose ceremony where she makes her decision to be with Dylan over Blake, and then gets engaged at the end, I'd say people will forget these last couple episodes.
Hey Steve!
I've been a longtime reader and huge fan of all you do, but this is my first time writing in. After this week of BIP, I can't shake the shady feeling Caelynn gave me back on Colton's season and even more so now. Girl. Is. Sketchy. If you're ever able to spill more tea about her, I'd be here for it.
I'm wondering if you know if there's any drama to come between Caelynn and Katie during BIP based on their history during Colton's season (mainly the details Katie shared during the Women Tell All), or if it's water beneath the bridge? I didn't hear anything in regards to those two.
Also, what are your thoughts on how "in" on the whole Demi plot Derek was? Demi has been throwing up red flags left and right thus far, but it seems like Derek is a bit more genuine in his interest. He wasn't in on anything as far as I know.
Thank you for using your powers for good! I look forward to reading and listening every week.
P.S. You gave me the smallest glimmer of hope for Clay as the next Bachelor, but we all know by now it's still a bit of a toss up.
Comment: All I mentioned was if we're gonna consider Mike a candidate, you gotta consider Clay. But he's probably not getting it.
Cannot stand Caelynn since she was brought on to Colton's season. Love Dean. Kristina. And everyone on season 4 of BiP. These new kids are terrible. Any hope of a dean/Kristina reunion? Upsetting that BIP didnt show them at all when he arrived. You know we all wanted to see some sort of interaction!! What is their status? And why doesnt BIP show any Wells? What is the point of him being there then?!
We need to bring Peter Kraus back into the mix.
Thanks for the spoilers!
Comment: Dean and Kristina? For both their sakes, I hope not. And he's with Caelynn. At least for now. Kristina would be the dumbest human on the planet if she ever went back to Dean.
Steve, you made a comment that you thought Clay would make a good Bachelor. I could not disagree more. He is so wishy-washy and boring. He shows no personality. He had a chance to be with beautiful Angela and dropped her to go on BIP. Well, crash and burn, you are too boring buddy. Steve, did you change your mind after seeing gim on BIP?
Comment: That's not what I said. I said that if you're considering Mike, then you have to consider Clay. And obviously you hate Clay and are completely biased for whatever reason, so nothing I say will matter to you anyway. You sound like a friend of Angela's or something.
I'm not sure if you know the specifics of how production came to the decision to send both Christian and Jordan home, but I was wondering if you could just speculate on whether or not you think they would have been sent home if one of them had a real substantial connection with someone. Obviously Jordan was going to be sent home at the rose ceremony and most likely Christian too, but say Jordan had a real connection with someone.
You obviously have no way of knowing for sure, but just knowing what you do about the bachelor world, do you think production still would have sent them home?
Comment: Maybe they have the same rules as the Challenge where if there's fighting, you're done. We've legitimately never seen a fight like that on Paradise before. I can't even remember if we've really seen one like that on the "Bachelorette" either. I don't think we have. So it could just be that.
First time writing but just curious on your thoughts about the Demi/ Derek relationship. To me it looks almost forced and fake, and not just on her part but his too. It happened very quick and I don't know, I just don't see her as his type. Nothing like who he was with before. It seems he is known as this nice guy in the franchise and she has a weird rep, I don't know. It all just seems fishy to me. And given what we know happens next, do you think this could be a total set up? That they are playing this relationship up for the camera, all the while knowing this girl is coming in? Even with the talk they had tonight, he didn't seem surprised. And so much time is being given to this story, we seriously saw her have the exact same convo with 2 different people. It just screams over produced to me. Thoughts?
Comment: I don't think Derek knew her girlfriend was coming in. Well, at least before the show he didn't. Once Demi told him she was seeing a woman pre-show, if Derek still didn't think that woman would eventually show up, then he doesn't know how this show works. I think Derek just likes who shows interest in him.
So ive never emailed you before but have read your column a lot, but i just noticed something this week in regards to the Caelynn/Blake mess that peaked my interest: I noticed that NEITHER Cassie or Colton have commented on the storyline or their feelings towards it. Realistically yes i know Blake is friends with Colton and Cassie is friends with Caelynn so maybe they just want to stay out of it but if Blake treated Caelynn SO horribly and she was telling the truth wouldnt Cassie come out to support her close friend Caelynn, especially with her being dragged online!?!? Just a thought. Interested in your thoughts!
Comment: Probably because they don't want to set off one side by saying anything. So they're staying neutral. Kinda like Demi.
I am a long time reader and long time bachelor/bachelorette watcher – in fact I've watched every season. You can guess my age – I won't reveal it! The way the bachelor is chosen has definitely changed over the years and I think the door has opened for potential wild card bachelors, so I'll throw a name into the ring, Derek!!! He handled Demi's coming out in the best possible way and was looking extremely attractive while being a gentleman and supportive all at the same time. I think he would make a fantastic husband and seems serious about finding a wife as we saw with his previous engagement (he's definitely not a player like some of the other guys in this franchise) if they are looking for someone that might actually marry their final pick he may be your guy and what a story – the guy who lost his girl to a girl!
I liked your thoughts regarding Clay for Bachelor too but I'm still more into Derek. If they want more diversity they should pick Mike, he seems like a great guy and he is very well liked and would also make a great bachelor, but he would be the predictable choice and I feel they aren't going that route very often with Bachelor picks anymore. Nick for bachelor, really?!? After he was already on two seasons of the bachelorette and bachelor in paradise? I think that was my least favorite season, but I watched (to your point that no matter who they pick we will watch) and he, for sure, was not the predictable pick!
I might be the only one out there saying this, but this is my campaign, Derek for Bachelor!!
Keep doing what you do and I'll keep reading! Thanks!
Comment: Derek is not going to be the Bachelor.
I've been a reader for awhile and really like your spoilers and general opinion about everything bachelor nation. I'm sure you'll address this at some point but I had a thought while watching tonight's BIP episode. Why is it okay for Demi to go on paradise while she is dating someone at home? From what I can tell it doesn't seem like her relationship with the woman is over and yet she came on paradise. In the past it's been THE MOST frowned upon thing when a woman or man went on a bachelor show and turned out to that someone back home. (Ex: Jed this past season, Jenna on BIP). I'm just curious what ur opinion on the whole thing is and the fact that Demi has received no criticism for having someone at home. Idk just a thought.
Comment: Because Demi is protected by production, they love her, she gave them their first same sex relationship that they will promote the hell out of, and she does what they want. That's why.
Of course she should get shit for coming on with a woman she was clearly into and was all set up beforehand, but she'll get a pass because she's Demi. Some people in this franchise just get better treatment than others. Demi is one of them.
I have so thoughts on things that occurred on BIP on Tuesday night and a few other questions. I started watching BIP this season really liking Hannah G. I thought that she was very sweet on Colton's season. However, I do not like the way she is toying with Dylan's feelings by making out with Blake right in front of him. I know that they obviously have moved past it because they are now engaged, but I can't imagine that it is easy to relive when it's shown on TV. Probably not, but like you said, they're still engaged, so I guess it doesn't matter. Really no different than a Bachelor/ette season where the final couple has to watch episodes back and see the lead make out with a bunch of other different people. Outside of Andi/Josh, the person who "won" seems to get over it pretty quick. Oh, I guess Lauren wasn't thrilled about Ben and JoJo too.
Regarding the Caelynn and Blake drama, I totally understand why Blake released the text messages. He had to clear his name when false accusations are being released to the public against him! I am not excusing him fooling around with Tayshia, Hannah, Caelynn and Kristina at Stagecoach and then continuing that on BIP, but it appears that he has learned from his mistakes and feels guilty about them now. I agree with what you said in your column about Caelynn always being involved in drama whether it be with Hannah B Or now with Blake.
1.	My first question for you is, out of all the couples who are engaged, who do you think has the best chance to get married? I originally thought Hannah and Dylan but after seeing more of them together, I actually think Katie and Chris have a better chance at getting married. He was so respectful to her when she was having her meltdown on Monday night. I wanted to know if you thought the same? I need more time. As of now, Id go with those two as well.
2.	I heard in an interview with Extra that Chris Bukowski now lives in Denver. I was curious what city Katie lives in? I don't remember it being mentioned at all. Katie lives in LA I thought? I could be wrong, but I think that's where she is.
3.	I saw that DWTS promos have begun. With that being said, have you gotten any information on whether or not Hannah will be on it? Nothing has been official yet, but I fully expect her to be on this season.
4.	I promise that this is the last question! Would you ever be open to having Rachel and Bryan on your podcast together? Sure, why not?
Why haven't we seen a single interaction between Kristina and Caelynn? It seems that Caelynn spoke to everyone on the beach (about Blake) before actually speaking to Blake. You'd think the show would want her to compare notes with Kristina and essentially have them team up against Blake. A girl chat with Hannah G., Caelynn, Kristina, Tayshia seems like it would be good TV, I'm just surprised the show isn't making this happen. Kristina threw some shade last night at Caelynn for what she said in case you missed it:
"Spreading YOUR business?" I wasn't even on the beach when you aired out my dirty laundry ?? #BachelorInParadise

I know you won't but I wish you'd listen to Dean on Ben and Ashley's podcast last week and share your thoughts- some interesting insights and behind the scenes bits (he urged Blake not to release the texts etc.) I realize he is Caelynn's current boyfriend so have to take it with a grain of salt. I do appreciate Dean's willingness to acknowledge editing & producer manipulation, Ben and Ashley are far less willing. I remember when he made some headlines for saying on a podcast that majority of franchise relationships are fake for PR stunts. Last week, Ben asked him why he continues to do these shows when he seems like someone "who would rather be climbing mountains" and Dean admitted "doing these shows is what allows me to continue traveling and climbing mountains" acknowledging paradise as a source of income rather than pretending it's actually about love.
Comment: Well, I'm glad some contestants do. And I'm glad he admits he does the show for money. More should admit that. Other than that, I don't really care for what he has to say about anything.
I don't know if maybe I'm wrong/confused, but it seems to me like the Caelynn/Blake situation is pretty black and white. I think the confusion stems from the timeline of this all and the texts he released putting people off that timeline. Caelynn has been clear that the relationship she is talking about in which Blake ghosted her was long before stagecoach. They talked a lot, he made her seem like they might be an item and forego paradise, and then he ghosted her.
At a later date, they ran into each other at stagecoach, she obviously had some sort of feelings, was drunk, and text him to come over, he let her despite knowing she was drunk "I know what you're like when you've been drinking." The fact that she text him saying it's just sex, doesn't mean she didn't deep down hope that something would come of it. We've all been there.
The texts leading up to paradise show that he had a guilty conscience and wanted Kristina/Hannah to know etc. and they had come up with a plan to get everyone one on the same page, and yes she was completely on board with that.
But when she got to paradise there was no recognition from him of anything, and I can understand why that made her fell a bit shitty, this is a guy that:
-Made her feel like there might be a future between them and maybe she still had feelings, and
-She has had sex with
So I understand why she was pissed of and went on the defensive.
Also, the texts leading up to paradise reference several phone calls, what's to say he didn't say in one of them that it was a mistake.
All the texts that Blake released achieved was exposing Caelynn as an insecure person who wanted something more from a guy that he wasn't willing to give, and if he was a decent guy, he shouldn't have slept with her.
Comment: Yeah, I couldn't disagree more with that. There's very little that's black and white about this situation.
Super random question that i don't think has been answered, buttt do you know why Garrett Powell didn't end up going to paradise?! He seems like the ideal cast member for it. Kinda shocked haha.
Comment: Maybe because Luke wasn't gonna be there, there was nothing for him to do.
Hi Steve!!!
How many more episodes until Caelynn is off of my tv? I cannot stand her! Get her off! It is too painful to watch! Tell her to go away with Annalise and Wills please. I am actually more into watching Demi than her, which is surprising but true. Jordan and Demi's dynamic duo chat was actually pretty funny! Not according to Chad Johnson it wasn't.
Nicole is really killing it this episode. She is so fun to watch with Christian and then chatting with the girls! This is what I was hoping for when I turn on BIP… the new relationships and the new excitement!!!! Enough already of all the hookups at stagecoach and the negativity. I wanna see people enjoying themselves and having fun!! Show me more spiciness like Nicole and Christian! Unfortunately, the show has lost its way.
Clay on the other hand… Boring AF! He is putting me to sleep. I cannot Steve… please don't let him be in the running for the bachelor. I cannot see him commanding a room of 30 women….he can't even court Nicole with any excitement. He is not good TV. Zzzzzzzz…..Steve next time I have trouble sleeping I'll watch a clip of Clay and his ITM and it will put me to bed. Like I have a say who's in the Bachelor running?
Back to Caelynn, if a guy told me he lives in a van I would be running far, far away. Steve, I live in Hawaii and I won't even date a guy that lives on a boat. You can't go #2 and flush it into the Harbor here in Honolulu. If you gotta go to the bathroom, you have to use harbor bathroom where the homeless people go. Has Caelynn considered how she would use the bathroom if she stayed over deans van? Pop a squat outside? This girl is not thinking at all. She has no standards! Find a guy who has a real job, a real home, clean toilet, and life goals!!! All valid points. Hey, that's her deal now. You make your bed, now you must lie in it.
Hey Steve! Two questions:
1. Do you think the producers brought on Jordan just for drama and to be a narrator/color commentator on Bachelor in Paradise this year? I don't see him putting any effort into finding a romance but he's quite the pot stirrer and a pretty funny narrator this year, too. I'd make him the bartender next year. Have him find love somewhere else. He's much better in the role of being a commentator and giving one liners.
2. Sorry this goes back to Hannah's season but . . . it has bugged me how hostile Jed's parents were to Hannah. I have never seen that before on a hometown. Is it possible they saw your spoilers before the hometown dates where you said Luke P was the front-runner, concluded Jed was not going to win and were reacting accordingly? I cannot figure this out but SOMETHING had to prompt that bad behavior, right? Most Southerners are a bit more friendly & mannered than that, and it seemed deliberately rude unless it was the edit somehow. They knew.
And one comment – Dean has won me over with how he lifted Caelynn up at her bad crying moment. I do not remember him showing that good of a personality before, but he's showing a charming side of himself
Thanks so much, Steve!
Comment: Yay Dean! Congrats for being a nice guy.

I just keep saying to myself over and over this BIP season, only 1 1/2 episodes in (I'm behind), "what show do you think you are on people?" It is so different than it used to be, especially evident this season. I miss BIP of old. The show has definitely lost its way.
To the people saying Hannah put Tyler in a bad spot, I find it really hard to believe that it wasn't a producer-nudge that made it happen and they both knew going in. The difference is that Hannah was excited about the idea and Tyler wasn't. I understand her disappointment. Also, she has every right to be upset by the Gigi thing. She didnt choose Tyler, and I get that, but he could have said during their night together that he wanted to see what happened elsewhere, and let that be that. And have no doubt she would have been honest about it, if he did. Sure it would have stung, but it would have been easier for Hannah to move forward. I feel like he may have strung her along a bit. But I am one of the seemingly very few that just dont get the Tyler C mania. I just really do not get it. Feel free to explain, because I'm stumped.
ctrealitygirl
So, Hannah has a right to be upset by Tyler (who she dumped after allowing him to start to propose) because he started dating Gigi Hadid shortly after he met up with her? How about on night one of AFTR when Hannah gloated about having sex with Peter, not twice in the windmill, but 4 times. If Hannah was SO into trying to get back together with Tyler, why would she make that? She knew he was watching. If I were Tyler I'd take offense to that seeing as she shot down having sex with him in the fantasy suites. And, just the way she blatantly flirted with Peter spoke volumes to me. I've seen several interviews when it was ll said and done and every time she was asked if she would change the outcome and pick Tyler over Jed, she insisted she made the right choice at the time. This is NOT like Jason or Arie, realizing after the fact that they had picked the wrong person. It was Jed she wanted all along. I think Tyler was quite a gentleman to agree to meet her for a drink rather embarrass her on national TV and shoot her down. In my mind he owes her nothing!
sorry for the typos! My keyboard did some weird things. Supposed to read, "I've seen several interviews with Hannah when all was said and done, and every time she was asked…"
tinyred500
Don't worry about the typos. My phone has a mind of its own and completely changes a word(s) over and over again… it's a farce, which I can't escape. Lol I wish Steve had an edit button on his blog.
Oh, I agree with a lot of your points. 😀
dbntop
I have an alternative theory about Demi. During Colton's season, everyone—fans, contestants, producers, even Colton—were all hyping Demi as The Paradise Queen, or something. No one thought The Bachelor was her jam; everyone thought Paradise was in her wheelhouse. Unfortunately for the producers, Demi met someone in between WTA and the Paradise. They knew Demi was their biggest draw from Colton's season for viewers. And they've also been trying to get an LGBTQ-positive storyline for a while and this was two birds with one stone. I think the producers should be blamed for making her go on, more-so than Demi. They have never knowingly pushed someone to appear on their show when they have a significant other and it's not like Demi was hiding it from them. I think she was roped into it. Of course she can say no, so she's not "blameless", if you want to assign blame to it. I'm fairly sure her gf was involved in the decision. Of course it was pre-planned. You're just blaming the wrong persons.
dogmomma
dbntop Yes, that is very possible. I think that so much of what we see lately is staged and pre-planned. In my opinion, the whole Hannah/Tyler "lets get together for drinks" on ATFR was totally planned. I don't think she blindsided him and he was "too nice" to reject her on TV. I think they agreed to do it, I don't think it happened organically. The producers wanted people to continue to talk about the show…. will they get back together or will this be closure for them??? And guess what, that's exactly what we got. Tyler is in the news for dating a model, and Hannah is still processing her feelings and we all want to see her happy so we keep talking about them and they are all over social media. The whole Demi thing is so bizarre, too. I couldn't stand watching her on Colton's season because she was so obnoxious, but she was actually entertaining and a lot more toned down on Paradise, a lot more likable. This was definitely staged and they got exactly the outcome that they wanted. I hope that Derek was in on the scheme because if not, what a cruel thing to do to him and his emotions. The show has really gone down hill and not much is real anymore. It's more like a sitcom where people are given a script and play a certain role. I've been watching since season 1 and I'm quickly losing interest in the show. It's not even entertaining any more.

Caelynn and Jordan are both instigators. Caelynn is a drama queen on top of that.
