Google Dominated the $55 Billion Search Advertising Market for Over a Decade. Here's How Amazon Plans to Shake Things Up
Amazon's share of digital search ads is growing, at Google's expense.
By Jason Aten, Tech columnist@jasonaten
It's easy to see why search advertising is one of the most effective ways to reach customers--they literally tell you what they're looking for. Which is why it's pretty much the platinum standard of online advertising. For over a decade, Google has dominated the market--but that's starting to change.
The U.S. search advertising market is growing, yet Google is falling behind. Sure, it still has a substantial lead, but a new study by eMarketer forecasts that while the overall market will grow as much as 18 percent this year, Google's share is shrinking.
Amazon, on the other hand, currently owns 12.9 percent of the search ad market, a share that's expected to grow to 15.9 percent in the next two years. That's impressive, especially when you consider that it means Amazon not only is beating Google but is also growing at a faster rate than the overall industry.
That's astonishing given Google's dominance over the past decade. Not only does it own the largest share of search advertising, but that share makes it the most dominant digital advertising platform--period.
Amazon is already the third-largest advertising platform overall, and the second-largest search ad platform, mostly because of its dominance in online shopping. And advertising now represents a substantial business for Amazon, already contributing over $10 billion.
That may not seem like much for a company that brings in over $230 billion a year, but with Amazon's share of a growing market continuing to increase, it doesn't take long for it to start to make a real difference.
Especially because every purchase a shopper makes as a result of Amazon's search ads results in additional revenue for the company in the form of commissions or other selling fees. Of course, it's only fair to mention here that Amazon has faced criticism that it manipulates search results to highlight its own products based on profitability.
Amazon already represents almost half of all online purchases in the U.S., meaning not only that its search advertising is a powerful tool for businesses that sell on the shopping platform, but also that it represents a huge opportunity for the company to beat Google where it matters most. In fact, Amazon is uniquely suited to continue shortening Google's lead because it offers a far more captive audience.
While both companies have faced scrutiny over antitrust and privacy concerns, each has such massive reach that it's unlikely either is going anywhere anytime soon. That makes the battle all the more interesting as the search ad market continues to shift away from the 800-pound gorilla, in favor of an equally powerful competitor.
That's because people come to Amazon to shop, and shoppers who use the search function are ready to buy. That means that appearing high in those results is important for sellers who are willing to pay a premium to get their products in front of eager buyers.
Amazon may not be overtaking Google anytime in the near future, but it has all of the pieces in place to be a real threat to the search giant's long-time seat on the digital advertising throne. And while Amazon is the smaller player right now (at least in this market), this battle is definitely no David versus Goliath. This battle is more like a Clash of the Titans.


A procurement and supply team that does not have a good understanding of how to identify, mitigate and avoid supply chain risk is a major cause of risk for the organisation.
This is just one of six internal risk influencers highlighted in a CIPS good practice guide to help members develop end-to-end supply chain resilience in their organisation.
Yet fewer than half of procurement professionals who responded to a CIPS survey always had strategies to mitigate the supply chain risk, and fewer than half felt confident to undertake a cost benefit analysis of the cost associated with a disruption in their supply chain.
Supply chain resilience draws on the best approaches to risk management and business continuity, focusing on proactive measures, according to the report, Supply Chain Risk and Resilience, which helps to define measures that can build resilience into all stages of a typical supply chain, from start to finish. As well as the risk influences, it identifies the sustainability risks, the business elements that should be assessed, such as cyber security, and the consequences of risk.
The report also breaks down the consequences of risk into three areas –financial, reputational and operational – with some risks, such as finding a supplier using child labour, affecting all three areas.
Reputational consequences alone can lead to a loss of investor confidence, bad media coverage and negative customer experience. This can give competitors an advantage and lead to future recruitment challenges.
An unanticipated break in supply chain delivery can cause delays in both manufacturing and project completion, which in turn can generate excess storage issues, under-utilised staff and contractors and an inability to meet customer deadlines.
Financial consequences range from cost overruns, penalty payments, a loss of orders and a drop in share price.
Members can download the full Supply Chain Risk and Resilience, a CIPS introduction to good practice from the CIPS website.


Last week was big for me, as I finally met Taxi Mike in person. I first found Taxi Mike and his content marketing prowess 3+ years ago, and he was the original inspiration for my best-selling book, Youtility. But I'd never met the man until this week, when I returned to beautiful Banff, Alberta to deliver a presentation on Youtility to Travel Alberta.
I was honored to shake Mike's hand, give him a signed copy of the book and a special Youtility T-shirt. What makes Taxi Mike a special content marketer?
Banff is a big ski town. It features soaring mountains and glistens with bars, restaurants and tourists galore. There are, of course, many, many taxi drivers in Banff, but Taxi Mike is the only one that builds his business with Youtility. Four times per year Taxi Mike puts together the "Taxi Mike Dining Guide: Where to Eat in Banff." It's a very simple, 8.5 x 11 piece of bright yellow paper, printed on both sides. It's not what we'd classically consider to be "great" content, but it's incredibly effective because it's hyper-relevant.
Taxi Mike updates his guide every quarter with his latest recommendations for best sports bar, hottest nightclub, best place for cheap drinks, and more than a dozen other categories. Taxi Mike makes a few hundred copies, folds them into thirds like a rack brochure, and delivers them to every restaurant, hotel, bar, or tourist establishment in the area. You'll see them on counters all around Banff, and if you don't see one in a particular place, just ask. They have them behind the bar, guaranteed. They want to hand them out because Mike's information is accurate, and just about every place is listed in Taxi Mike's guide somewhere. He is a one man Trip Advisor.
At the end of a night in Banff, when you've been to six or eight of these places and you think, "Wow, I really should get a cab home," are you going to walk out on the corner and just raise your hand? No. You're going to reach into your pocket and see the crumpled up, bright yellow piece of paper that has the map of downtown you've been looking at all night that says, "Taxi Mike – 760-1052". And he's such a Youtility, he also does computer repair.
Simple. Useful. Helpful. That's Taxi Mike.
While preparing new Youtility case studies for the Travel Alberta event, I stumbled across Mike Morrison and his Instagram video for Glacier Skywalk. Opening in May 2014, the Glacier Skywalk (2.5 hours from Banff) will enable visitors to walk out on a glass-floored observation platform perched 918 feet above a glacier-filled canyon. The glass deck was recently installed, and the owners of the Skywalk invited Mike Morrison to investigate. Mike runs MikesBloggityBlog, a popular travel and entertainment blog in Canada.
The resulting Instagram video perfectly captures – in just 15 seconds – the thrill (and perhaps terror) of walking out over the canyon. A blogger + iPhone + 15-second video = content marketing success. Sometimes that's all you need, as this video is now being prominently featured on the Glacier Skywalk website.
Don't fall into the trap of believing content has to be complicated, comprehensive, or polished to a fine sheen to work for your company. That's one way to do it, but you can also use Cooperative Content, or you can use less-polished, short form content like Taxi Mike and Mike Morrison.

Normativity in Quine's naturalism: the technology of truth-seeking?
W.N. Houkes
In this paper, I review Quine's response to the normativity charge against naturalized epistemology. On this charge, Quine's naturalized epistemology neglects the essential normativity of the traditional theory of knowledge and hence cannot count as its successor. According to Quine, normativity is retained in naturalism as 'the technology of truth-seeking'. I first disambiguate Quine's naturalism into three programs of increasing strength and clarify the strongest program by means of the so-called Epistemic Skinner Box. Then, I investigate two ways in which the appeal to technology as normative enterprise can be made good. I argue that neither coheres with other aspects of Quine's philosophy, most notably the elimination of intentionality. Finally, I briefly consider a third reconstruction of the response, which involves an extension of the web of "belief" to practical know-how. I conclude that the normativity of Quine's (strong) naturalism cannot be found in the technology of truth-seeking.

Hawks is a police man trying his best to do what is right. However, after accidentally summoning a demon at a crime scene, he soon finds himself thrown into a world he never thought possible. Suddenly, he realizes that nothing can be divided easily under the terms 'good' and 'evil', especially when demons like Dabi exist. As he navigates through the unknown with Dabi at his side, he soon sees connections between most of the people he used to see as villains.
rivals to friends to maybe an enemy?
If you were to ask why he started doing what he does, he wouldn't have an answer to give simply because he doesn't know himself. If he had to guess, it all probably started when he first ran into vigilantes. Sure, he'd known about them and how they are labeled as criminals, villains even, just because they fight crime while unlicensed, in a more extreme fashion. While he knew what they were doing was wrong by terms of the law, he couldn't bring himself to actually feel like bringing them in if he were to catch them in the act.
I wanted to play around with a villain Deku AU that played on the idea of villains and vigilantes. I truthfully haven't seen this idea approached before, and if it has, I hope you all enjoy my take on this AU!
Inko's never wanted to stand out.
She's never felt the need to use her quirk, passed off as something powerless, to its fullest extent.
But when she looks into Izuku's emerald eyes, she knows she would destroy the world if he asked.
Before he can receive One for All, Izuku has to go through 10 months of hellish training. But when his own insecurities threaten to make him quit at the starting line, a strange pink girl named Mina offers a hand. With her help, he is able to find his resolve as well as a friend. But when that friendship becomes something more, will he be able to keep All Might's secret?

Chip maker Intel has reportedly informed employees that those who haven't been vaccinated will have to take a jab or submit a waiver by January 4. Employees who do not do so will be placed on unpaid leave. According to media reports, the tech giant told its employees that those who do not get exemption for religious or medical reasons will be on unpaid leave starting in April. At the same time, after Apple, Google is also considering increasing the work from home period. Google was thinking of opening its office from January 10, but in view of the increasing cases of Omicron, the company may postpone the idea of opening the office for now. Earlier, Apple postponed the idea of opening the office in February and taking it forward, it has asked employees to work from home.
According to media reports, the company has issued a deadline to get its employees vaccinated by January 4 to protect them from corona infection. Intel will then review employee waiver requests by March 15 next year. On the other hand, Google has also told its employees that if they do not vaccinate completely, then they will not be given salary from the company. In addition, they will also be fired from their jobs.

Celebrating Apollo's 50th Anniversary: When 100 FLOPS/Watt Was a Giant Leap
Image Source: NASA (see below)
PublishedMay 15, 2019
AuthorMark C. Miller
First of a three-part series to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Moon landings.
This year, July 20 will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing.1,2 Between 1958 and 1965, both Russian and American space programs attempted a total of over 36 unmanned Moon missions.3 Of the 6 that succeeded, none were survivable soft landings. Just crashing into the Moon proved exceedingly difficult. Developing a guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) system for manned Apollo missions4,9 was an enormous challenge. At its heart was a revolutionary new computer: the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC).5,6,7
In commemoration of that historical achievement, this is the first of three articles about the AGC. Part 1 describes the hardware. Part 2 describes the software and part 3 its application in Moon missions. In the years since its development, jargon may have changed, but the HPC community will recognize many common themes such as flops/watt power constraints, checkpoint and restart strategies, and the need for performance portability.
The AGC architecture: A giant leap in FLOPSa per W, Kg, m3
Apollo needed a computer orders of magnitude better than those typical of the era:36 lower power, lighter weight, smaller size, greater reliability, and able to operate in the extreme environmental conditions of space flight. In mid-1961, NASA accorded MIT/Draper Labs "sole source" status to design the AGC and soon after selected Raytheon to manufacture it.7 Both organizations had been involved in development of the Polaris missile GNC system.17

The AGC was the first computer to use integrated circuits. It was constructed entirely from dual-packaged, 3-input NOR gate flat-packs produced by Fairchild Semiconductor18 in an area that would eventually become known as Silicon Valley.25,26 At its peak, the effort consumed over 60% of all integrated circuits produced in the country. The AGC used a total of 5,600 NOR gates, operated at 1.024 MHz with a 16-bit word, and had 34 basic instructions each micro-coded into a 12-step sequence. It had 4 central registers plus 15 special-purpose registers.16 The table below compares key AGC performance metrics with an early model of the IBM 360. Both systems were released in 1966, the same year initial designs of the first massively parallel computer, ILLIAC IV,22 were completed. Costing nearly $5 billion to develop, 20% of the entire Apollo budget, IBM's System 360 was a big gamble and even bigger success.30 In the table below, we also include a row for comparison with IBM's newest AC92227 based systems (Summit20 / Sierra24).

Rope core: A new type of nonvolatile memory
The AGC utilized two types of core memory14: erasable memory (2K words) using coincident current cores and fixed (read-only) memory (36K words) using rope cores,15 technology specifically designed for and unique to the AGC. Both were nonvolatile, providing extra protection against data loss during faults. The advantages of rope core were superlative robustness and significantly higher density because a single core was used to store 24 bits.5 On the other hand, rope core took weeks of painstaking labor to hand-weave13 thin wires through (logical '1') or around (logical '0') arrays of cores. Bugs were costly to correct and often were just worked around with additional steps in astronaut checklists or even by revising mission parameters. Unable to fully automate this crucial manufacturing step, Raytheon instead hired an army of experienced textile workers from the New England area, all women. Remarkably, weaving and its place in computing date back more than 150 years earlier to the Jacquard loom.23,28 Present day operating system terms such as core dump or core image are derived from this early memory technology.

The Executive: An operating system with checkpoint/restart services
The AGC used a priority-driven, collaborative, multitasking operating system called the Executive.5 Priority-based job scheduling was revolutionary for its time. The Executive could detect a variety of hardware and software faults and had restart utilities to recover. But, only the most critical programs were restart protected.19 This involved careful design with periodic updates of waypoints (redundant copies of essential state throughout program execution). Restart support consumed resources and complicated testing. In 1968, an internal NASA report19 raised significant doubts about its value. In Part 3 of this series, we'll describe why it would later be proven invaluable during the Apollo 11 landing.
The Interpreter: A domain-specific language
The Executive and other system functions were all implemented in AGC native assembly code31. However, solving complex, 3D spatial navigation problems with this simple instruction set was tedious, error prone, and memory consuming. Early on, engineers designed a higher-level language, called the Interpreter,5 to support the complex software required for GNC operations. Operands were scalar, vector, and matrix data types in single, double, and even triple precision. Instructions included vector and matrix arithmetic functions, transcendental functions, float normalization functions and other miscellaneous control-flow functions. Similar to p-code,33 it was still a form of assembly language. But, it operated at a much higher level of abstraction—easing development, improving overall reliability and, most importantly, reducing memory usage.
Multiple spacecraft configurations: A performance portability challenge
Apollo wasn't just a single spacecraft. It was two: the Command and Service Module (CSM) and the Lunar Module (LM). Each had its own AGC and was further divided into two stages. Depending on the phase of a mission1, the vehicles were joined together in various configurations with dramatically different operating characteristics. Developing a single program, the Digital Auto Pilot (DAP),8 to provide effective GNC for any configuration, even off-nominal cases, presented what amounts to a significant performance portability problem. In Part 2 of this series we'll discuss how software developers met this challenge.

MTBF of 40,000 hours: Extreme computing reliability
The AGC may not have been extreme in scale, but it was extreme in reliability. Of the 42 Block II systems delivered and an aggregate of 11,000 hours of vibration exposure and thermal cycling plus 32,500 hours of normal operation, only 4 hardware faults were observed,12 none of which occurred in actual Moon missions. A conservative estimate of the mean time between failures (MTBF) of the AGC was later calculated to be over 40,000 hours, more than an order of magnitude better than machines typical of that era. Little did AGC hardware engineers know that writing the software would present even greater challenges, ultimately becoming the rate-determining factor in delivering flight-ready units.
Because autonomous guidance was so critical for Apollo, NASA funded the development of this revolutionary new computer to support it.35 Half a century later, because self-driving is so critical in the auto industry, Tesla has developed their own custom, proprietary AI chip to support it.32

Introducing key terms
As you work your way through the Toolkit, there are a number of key terms that it is important to understand.
Australian Standard AS 3959 Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas
New homes need to adhere to the Australian Standard AS 3959 Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas, which covers the bushfire safety requirements of building in areas at risk of bushfire, as well as the methodology for calculating your site's Bushfire Attack Level (BAL). The standard specifies requirements for the construction of buildings to improve their resistance to bushfire attack from burning embers, radiant heat, flame contact and combinations of the three attack forms.
The standard was developed by a committee that represents regulators, emergency services and some of the leading experts in the area, and is referenced in the National Construction Code (NCC) as a Deemed-To-Satisfy Solution. The standard includes materials, components, design factors, and construction methods that, if used, are deemed to meet the Performance Requirements of the NCC1, which are minimum standards for the design and construction of new buildings on bushfire-prone land.
It's important to note that the NCC is performance-based. "It doesn't specify how a building must be built, but how a building must perform. This means innovative designs, materials and construction methods can be readily approved," says Adjunct Professor Raymond William Loveridge from the University of Technology Sydney.2
To support bushfire-affected communities, Standards Australia has made AS 3959:2018, Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas available at no cost to the public until June 2021. It is useful to anyone who lives in or is planning to build in a bushfire prone area, not just designers and builders. The standard is available from the SAI Global website; select the PDF version in the dropdown box to obtain a free copy.
Bushfire Attack Level (BAL)
A Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) is a means of measuring the severity of a building's potential exposure to ember attack, radiant heat and direct flame contact. It's measured in increments of radiant heat (expressed in kilowatts/m2).
A BAL is the basis for establishing the requirements for construction (under the Australian Standard AS 3959-2009 Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas), to improve protection of building elements from bushfire attack.
The six BALs include BAL Low, BAL 12.5, BAL 19, BAL 29, BAL 40 and BAL FZ (Flame Zone), and the individual levels are based on the region where you live, vegetation type around the property, the distance from your home to individual vegetation types and the slope on the property.
You can use free online calculators to estimate the BAL on a property, however, to correctly identify your BAL it's best to work with a BPAD accredited bushfire consultant. You can find out more about BPAD experts in this section of the Green Rebuild Toolkit.
AS 3959: Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas
Why do I need a BPAD expert?
A BAL not only helps identify bushfire risk, but also identifies specific construction standards required to improve the performance of buildings subjected to bushfire attack (construction standards listed in AS3959-2018).
Certain Local Governments may not approve a development or subdivision if your BAL is deemed 'too high' (eg. BAL-40 or BAL-FZ), so understanding your building or sites BAL is very important.
Home Energy Ratings
The Nationwide House Energy Rating (NatHER) is a star rating from 0 to 10 that measures how energy efficient a house is, based on its design. The rating applies to the building envelope: the roof, walls, floor and windows.
New homes in most Australian states and territories require at least a 6 Star rating, however, the higher the rating the better in terms of homeowner comfort and affordable energy use. Houses with higher HERs are more naturally comfortable in winter and summer, and therefore easier and cheaper to heat and cool.
Renew is advocating for a higher mandatory HER of 7 Stars in the 2022 update of the National Construction Code, however many homeowners are already building higher performing homes with annual energy bills of less than $500, providing savings on year-round energy bills. In many cases, a 1 Star improvement can be achieved through better design alone.4 Visit the Renew and Sanctuary magazines website for case studies on high performing homes, including what it's like to live in them.
You can also find out more about Home Energy Ratings in the Sanctuary magazine articles Star-stuck? How to make the most of house energy ratings and When stars align: Finding the energy star rating and financial sweet spot.

Sometimes, you can find that you get a lot of visitors from one engine (at a high cost per click) but relatively fewer sales, where on another you may find that the cost per bid is lower and the visitors are more likely to purchase, even though there may be less of them overall.
By using multiple search engines, we are able to take advantage of differing keyword bids and get the client the best result for their money. This also spreads the risk, since it's highly unlikely that all of your major search engines will get hacked, or change their policies or be victims of click fraud, all at the same time.
It's true. Except for China and Japan, Google rules for search. Many clients want to start off with just one search engine, and Google is often the best choice, holding 54% of the North American market.
We have Certified Google AdWords Professionals on staff that can help make your campaign reach its goals quickly and efficiently.
Bing from Microsoft has a really nice way of segmenting your target audience, and doing keyword research. Many people find the Bing search actually results in more actual sales, though it's also clear that this is not true for others – it's definitely something you should try, though!
Second tier PPC refers to more specialized and smaller search engines, like SearchFeed, ABC Search, Search 123, Enhance, GenieKnows, Business.com, 7Search, and others. Although many of these PPC engines are honest and hardworking, click fraud is a significant issue here, with professional fraud artists/affiliates exploiting the engine relentlessly.
On the other hand, the traffic can be good and very inexpensive, if you know how to set it up and watch it properly. This is a very different area than Yahoo and Google, so you can't just copy over your ads and keywords and expect to get results. We can help you capture the excellent potential of these engines, while advising you on which ones to avoid.
There is a big difference between doing SEM in your own backyard, and doing it internationally. Keywords can't just be translated, but rather they need to be properly researched. For example, the most common Chinese usage for the term "network" is different in Shanghai than it is in Hong Kong. Further, different search engines and portals are popular in different countries. For example, Yahoo is the most popular search in Japan, Baidu is the most popular in China, and Miva is very popular in Europe. We can help you choose the right ads, keywords, and search engines for your target market.
Although everyone loves to hate banner ads, and they don't work as well as they used to, you can still get some very good traffic from them. We can help you sort out the good deals from the bad ones.
Rich media advertising can be very effective, as it's almost like a television commercial. These are often used as pop-ups or interstitial (between pages) advertising.


After an intimate mehendi ceremony, and a night of dancing in shades of white with their friends and family, Sonam and Anand get hitched today in Mumbai. Everything about their wedding was dreamy and beautiful, just like the couple much in love. Sonam Kapoor chose designer Anuradha Vakil's creation of a red and gold lehenga. Groom Anand Ahuja looked regal in his traditional attire. Post the wedding, Sonam changed her name to Sonam Kapoor Ahuja on her social media profiles. Take a look at the lovely photos from their nuptials.
No honeymoon for Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja?

Re: Has Curiosity Found Fossilized Life on Mars?
Phil Didge wrote: Time and time again, as we carefully scrutinize the amazing high-resolution imagery flowing to Earth from NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, we see weird things etched in Martian rocks.

I would imagine that as someone who apparently shares the level of comprehension of a microbe, you would be best placed to answer your own question.
Calm down love the last thing I want is you getting all worked up, which really proves I showed how you got it wrong.
Nobody moves to another thread to make such an infantile view point and nothing on the thread unless very angry they were shown up.
A question mark at the end of a heading (or, indeed, any sentence) not unreasonably indicates that a question is being asked and the inclusion of the name of the instigator and author equally indicates that he or she is posing the question.
This particularly applies to a discussion forum, otherwise there can be no point in posting it.
Would you mind re-posting your third paragraph in English so that the rest of us may at least have some chance of understanding what the hell you are prattling about?
I have noted in the past that the more you are proved wrong, the more irritated you are...and the more unintelligible your posts become.
I can only express my eternal gratitude that I did not have the job of reading your thesis.
I just C&P an article and so the question was not from me.
Seriously, take a seat and have a few deep breaths and see that you are acting so childishly, to then use your "I have clearly been made to look stupid by Didge and will play the post in English" card proves in further what a poor loser you are to not knowing much about history as I do.
Me? I'm just an over tolerant old softie still trying to bring knowledge and enlightenment to the ignorant.
You'll be a long time trying M'Lord......A long time trying.
is that why I had to educate you on a white paper that never was made policy and now your misconceived view on the NHS?
You could not teach yourself how to wipe your own arse, hence why you still wear nappies.
This page derives from the Socialist Medical Association and is apparently a scan of the Cabinet Paper.
(c) the centralising of the whole finance of the country's hospital system, taking it right out of local rating and local government.
3. From estimates formed in my Department it seems clear that the moneys which would have to flow into the voluntary hospitals from public funds, local or central, would certainly amount to 70 per cent. or more, and would often amount to 80 or 90 per cent. of the individual hospital's income - and even that is on the questionable assumption that some voluntary support will continue to be forthcoming. Even the small remainder of the voluntary hospitals' income would not wholly represent current voluntary support, as it would include income from investments and endowments dating from the past. In such a situation I do not see how we could possibly be justified in doing what the White Paper proposed and leaving the hospitals under the independent management which they have now. I believe strongly that we must insist on the principle of public control accompanying the public financing of the hospitals, broadly in proportion to the extent of that financing.
4. If we do insist on this, it follows from the above estimates that we shall have to impose effective public control on every voluntary hospital. We might, it is true, limit ourselves to inserting a majority of publicly appointed representatives on the governing bodies, but this would only mean creating a new hybrid sort of hospital under publicly provided governors and finance, with some relic of their previous identity and separate status. That would get us nowhere, and if we are in effect to take over the hospitals publicly we must do it completely - i.e., put them completely in the hands of some form of public authority.
5. No doubt compromise schemes could be devised which would start by introducing only a minority element of public control into the governing bodies, and would then enable this to be developed into a full majority control gradually, hospital by hospital, as the dwindling remnant of voluntary resources dried up. But, apart from offending against the principle of public control following public money, any such schemes for introducing and gradually expanding control would not much ease the opposition of the hospitals while achieving nothing of any real value in reforming the hospital services. I am sure the real choice lies between leaving the voluntary system broadly on the footing of the White Paper or taking it over, under some form of public authority, decisively and openly now. On merits I think there is no doubt but that we ought to take a bold course and do the latter.
6. I am strengthened in this by the conviction that, whatever its usefulness in earlier days, the voluntary hospital system has not succeeded in producing a really good hospital service. (I am not thinking of the relatively few big teaching hospitals, for which I want to make special proposals later.) Some of the hospitals are thoroughly bad, just as some of them are good; but the great majority are mediocre and too small, the specialist staffing arrangements of many of them are inadequate - and sometimes non-existent; the whole notion on which most of them have grown up, the notion of the self-contained, separate, independent "local hospital," is nowadays a complete anachronism. I think the system has outlived its usefulness, and the time has come to leave it behind.
7. If the case for taking over the hospitals under full public control is admitted, this means taking over either by some form of local government machinery, or by the central government - and the next question is which is it to be. I would strongly deprecate the former, for reasons which I will give.
8. A few local authorities run a good hospital system. The great majority are not suited to run a hospital service at all under modern conditions. Areas are usually too small for the needs of the specialised services; the present artificial demarcation of town and country in local government is inconsistent with the right arrangement of hospital responsibilities; the ordinary local authority cannot attract and maintain the quality of expert officers needed for organising modern specialist services; the costs of up-to-date hospital and specialist facilities cannot properly be thrown on local rates without heavy Exchequer subsidy and in any case would not fall equitably (except with a great deal of juggling) upon the present variety of rating areas which a big hospital service must serve. Local government, as we know it, is already overloaded - and a new nation-wide hospital and consultant service is too big and unsuitable a burden to put upon it.
9. Nor has the record of the local authorities in this field been very encouraging. Although they run many more hospital beds than the voluntary hospitals, nearly half of their ordinary hospital accommodation is still run by them in the general surroundings and atmosphere of the old Poor Law system, and their general hospital service as a whole is of questionable efficiency. Their infectious diseases hospitals are usually too small, and are of very varying quality. Generally, they have come into the modern hospital field too late and at a time when developments in specialist medical services are moving rapidly away from a kind of local government system which was never designed for them.
10. The plain truth is that neither of the present hospital systems is the right one, and we have to look for something new in place of both. The first fundamental from now on is to picture, plan and provide a hospital service on a broad national scale, and to get rid once and for all of any purely historical impediments to doing so. The second fundamental, to my mind, is to recognise that in so highly technical and specialised a service as this we have got to achieve a new blend of the technical expert with the public representative. The full principle of direct public responsibility must, of course, be maintained, but we can - and must - afford to bring the voice of the expert right into direct participation in the planning and running of the service. We have to achieve a fair balance in this - and local government has certainly not achieved it.
12. The right course, I am sure, is to nationalise the hospital services entirely and to take them out of the field of local government altogether. The future hospital situation is quite a new one. For the first time we shall be promising the whole population a full service - every kind of hospital and specialist care planned over the entire country. We shall (if my first proposal is accepted) be amalgamating the two present hospital services into one single new service, and we have got to achieve as nearly as possible a uniform standard of service for all - when all pay their contributions to a national insurance scheme. This is important. Under any local government system - even if modified by joint boards or otherwise - there will tend to be a better service in the richer areas, a worse service in the poorer. Yet all the population will be paying the same national rates of insurance contribution and will expect the State to see that an equally good service is available everywhere. Every attempt we might make to fit this new conception to a local government pattern which was never designed for it, and to areas or even combinations of areas whose boundaries do not suit it, would simply mean hampering the sensible planning and running of the new service. This seems to me strongly to be a case of starting again with a clean slate.
13. It is true that, in the nationalising of the hospital services, the exchequer would have to make good the small proportion of the cost of the voluntary hospitals' services which would otherwise be met from voluntary sources. But even this small proportion includes income from investments and endowments, of which the exchequer would presumably get the benefit in future, and it is only the uncertain residue of purely voluntary, current gifts which would be lost. It is true, also, that by nationalising the hospital services we should be shifting a substantial body of costs from the rates to the exchequer - and that would be part of the purpose. But, even here, we must remember that sooner or later there will have to be a general examination and adjustment of the relations of local to central taxation and the shifting of a particular item now need not affect the total result when that adjustment is made.
(1) The State, the central government acting through the Minister of Health, would be empowered to take over the full ownership of all hospitals, voluntary and municipal -including sanatoria, mental hospitals and mental deficiency institutions - in order to provide a national hospital service.
(3) There would be set up, statutorily, new regional boards, one for each natural hospital region - the ten or so regions which always feature in proposals for organising hospital services. Each of these boards would be set up by the Minister and would consist of persons recommended by the major local authorities, persons selected by the Minister himself and an element of medical and other experts versed in the hospital and medical services. If at some future date local government can be reorganised on a wider regional basis - as we all want to see it - a situation may well arise in which we could adapt this system of hospital regional boards to the reorganised local government system, and perhaps get the hospital services back into a more modern form of local government. My present proposals should help, to some extent, in anticipating this.
(4) To the regional boards would be entrusted by the Minister the administration of all the hospitals in their regions in accordance with a detailed regional scheme to be worked out by each board with the Minister. The boards would work under the general directions of the Minister, and -whenever it became necessary - under his specific directions on detail; but for all normal purposes the aim would be the maximum degree of decentralisation in the administration. Where the geography of a region made it desirable, the regional board might need to do some of its work through two or more Divisional Committees; but that is a matter to consider in more detailed proposals.
(5) For each natural hospital district - i.e., for each area able to support a general hospital or combined group of hospitals big enough to employ a full specialist staff for all normal needs (embracing about 1,000 beds in either a single major hospital or a related group of hospitals as local needs required) - there would be a District Committee to which the regional board will delegate the day-today running of the hospital or group of hospitals concerned." These committees would be formed by the regional boards, subject to the Minister's approval, and again the aim would be to select people of local and general experience to represent the public interest, with an admixture of medical and other experts.
(7)Officers of the boards and committees would be appointed as officers of the Minister and, if possible, arrangements should be made for the interchange of such officers between the regions and the Minister's headquarters. Medical and other staff of the hospitals would be engaged and paid by the boards as agents of the Minister, and the Minister would enlist the help of proper expert advisory machinery in each region in the selection of specialist staff and persons for senior hospital appointments. Generally, the Minister would be able, by direct action in a centrally controlled service, to ensure proper terms and conditions for all types of hospital officer or servant.
( Activities which need to be organised as out?patient specialist activities of the hospitals (such as tuberculosis dispensaries and venereal disease clinics) would be transferred from local government to the new national service with the hospitals. The future allocation of the other local government health services ? child welfare, district nursing, the provision of health centres for general medical and dental care, and so on - can be considered in detail when once a decision in principle has been reached on the hospital services. It looks at first sight as though the ultimate responsibility for these should rest with the Minister, to ensure a unified health service, but there should be provision for delegation to existing persons and agencies for doing the day-to-day job.
15. That is my general proposal. There is no question but that it would provoke an outcry both from voluntary hospitals and from the local authorities. To the governing bodies of most of the voluntary hospitals it would mean extinction. To many in the local authority world it would appear to be wrenching away from them the very heart of their health services, although there would be some, even now, who would consider the principle sound. The attitude of the medical profession is uncertain; many doctors may take sides against the abolition of the voluntary hospitals, no doubt; but if the choice were before them between a primarily local government service and a primarily nationalised service, the overwhelming majority would prefer the latter - and, if the latter were part and parcel of a well-worked-out general health service in which they felt that the profession had a square deal, I think the profession would be solidly behind it. In any case, I believe that it is on these lines, of organisation on a nation-wide basis with regional and local delegation of management, that the best hospital service is to be attained. If my colleagues agree in principle, I will work out a detailed scheme to bring back to them.
16. A decision in principle is urgently needed. All the current administration of the hospital services by my department is affected by the present uncertainty as to the broad shape of the future. The preparation of draft legislation on the health services as a whole has to be held up for a decision on this hospital issue. Yet the drafting of that legislation needs urgently to go on as a Health Bill this session is vital if national insurance is not to be delayed, if the newly developed war services of the Emergency Hospital Scheme are not to be dissipated, and if returning men and women from the Forces - doctors, nurses and others - are to be able to make their plans in knowledge of which their future opportunities are to be. If we can reach a decision on the issue in this paper now, I can go ahead. I shall have to have some talk with the local authorities and others affected by the decision, to work out details of ways and means, but generally I shall try to avoid embarking on a new series of White Paper negotiations.
Oh, I see...it just sort of materialised out of thin air for no apparent reason and you did not intend to offer it for debate as, er, a question?
have a see how many threads I have started today and yesterday and see where I make a comment after the link and where I do not make a comment.
Seriously stop being an arse, it is not becoming of someone your age.
is that why I had to educate you on a white paper that never was made policy (Where did I say it was?) and now your misconceived view on the NHS?
When I make a point after I start a thread it is after the link to show that I have.
Simple even for you to understand.
Seriously, you really have shown yourself up badly today and I expected better from you and even worse you really do not like it if someone knows something more than you.

Too early to seek outside help with Customs inspector murder – AG
Minister with responsibility for prisons Steadroy Cutie Benjamin (file photo)
The brutal killing of a respected Customs inspector has touched the hearts of citizens who staged a protest today, joining mounting calls for the government to seek outside assistance to find the killers.
Christian was allegedly abducted from his home on Friday night by four armed men. He was later found dead in the vicinity of New Winthorpes with what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body.
His death comes months after one of his other colleagues – Cornell Benjamin – was shot in both legs.
Protestors who gathered outside the National Security Minister's office on Queen Elizabeth Highway this morning are appealing for bodies such as the FBI and London's Scotland Yard to be brought in to help.
Former Member of Parliament for the St George's constituency, Dr Jacqui Quinn, said those gathered were afraid and enraged, and were urging Minister Steadroy Benjamin to seek the assistance of the overseas agencies.
However, Benjamin described those requests as premature. The minister, who has responsibility for the police, told Observer the investigation is still in its early stages and expressed confidence in the capabilities of local law enforcement officials. He added that any request for assistance from police chiefs would be honoured.
Commissioner of Police Atlee Rodney, speaking on Observer AM, said while local officers are well equipped to do their jobs, he was not ruling out the need for external assistance.
