This exhibition looks at some of the ways in which The Folly and the surrounding area of North Craven have responded to the many challenges and changes of the last four centuries.
Most of these changes have been driven by national and international events, such as economic conditions and war. A few, such as the development of typical building styles, have their origins closer to home. Individual displays explore different aspects of the story and included throughout the exhibition are images of some of the people who have lived and worked in this area and the possessions they have had around them. As a building which has seen many uses, The Folly is a living example of the area's response to change and a symbol of the need to continue to adapt in the face of the ever-increasing challenges of the 21st century.
Until the beginning of the railway age, Hellifield was just another small village in North Craven.
Centred round an extended crossroads, it had a population of 250 in 1831 and principal occupations were agriculture and small scale cotton spinning.
Hellifield had always been an important junction, situated where the main roads up the Ribble valley from Clitheroe and Gisburn and from Keighley to Kendal converged. The Black Horse, a 17th century coaching inn, was a staging post for the many vehicles which carried passengers, goods and mail along these busy routes.
By the mid-19th century the wind of change was blowing. The arrival of the North Western Railway on the eastern fringe of the village in 1848 made little impact, but it was a foretaste of things to come.
Some 25 years later, the Midland Railway had taken over the North Western and was working on the construction of the Settle-Carlisle line. At the same time the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway extended their line from Blackburn to link into this important route. In recognition of Hellifield's new prominence as a railway junction, the Midland Railway built a magnificent station, opened in June 1880.
Hellifield's appearance changed forever. There was a huge expansion in population, consisting largely of railway workers, for whom special housing was built. The axis of the village shifted from the crossroads to the railway area. Extensive engine sheds, sidings and cattle docks were built and in 1887 a new Auction Mart was opened by a group of local farmers who saw the advantages of providing a livestock market in an accessible position.
The decline in the railway industry from the mid-20th century and the closure of the Auction Mart have left their mark on Hellifield, but in recent years much new housing has been constructed and the population holds steady at around 1,000. The village continues to thrive, finding new ways of adapting to the challenges of modern life.
Clapham is an estate village where change has been carefully managed.
The Farrer family first acquired land in the area in the 18th century and later began to buy up more property during a time of agricultural depression. The intention was to develop a sporting estate and extend an old farmhouse near the church into the building which became Ingleborough Hall.
In order to create an ideal landscape around the Hall, some buildings were demolished and roads re-routed. Clapham Beck was dammed to provide an ornamental cascade and an existing small tarn enlarged to form a picturesque lake. In 1837 Ingleborough Cave was opened up and a carriage drive constructed to cater for the increasing stream of visitors.
The appearance of the village and its surroundings has always been important to the family and estate records give examples of negotiations to ensure that railway routes did not encroach on prime meadowland and that limestone quarries were not opened up.
After World War II, the Hall was sold and the size of the estate gradually reduced. Dr John Farrer came from Australia in 1952 to take up his inheritance and become in his own words 'squire on a shoestring'. The estate has since been run as a business, encouraging local industry and farming as well as individual enterprise.
Until the late 17th century, banks as we know them today did not exist. Wealthy merchants were entrusted with their neighbours' savings and, along with lawyers, were called upon to provide loans.
The Bank of England was founded in 1694 and during the 18th century local banks appeared in most provincial towns.
The Craven Bank was established in 1791 in Settle, its first partners being William and John Birkbeck, William Alcock and John Peart. The Birkbecks were merchants and the other two partners lawyers, thus providing an ideal combination of business and legal experience.
Before 1817 the banknotes were printed with an image of Castleberg rock and this came to symbolise the stability of the bank during a period when many others were failing. Local diarist, W L Paley noted during the disastrous winter of 1825-26, 'Old Castleberg still stands firm'.
The partners continued to be highly regarded and another master stroke was to bring out a further note bearing the image of the famous Craven Heifer, a magnificent animal which strongly appealed to local farmers.
The Craven Savings Bank, opened in Settle in 1818, was an early example of the trustee savings bank movement first established in 1810 with the aim of encouraging thrift amongst working people and enabling them to make small regular savings even in times of hardship. It was managed by a group of voluntary trustees, including members of the Birkbeck family.
The Bank was very successful and in 1865 a new purpose designed building was erected on the south-east corner of the market place, where it remains to this day under the name of Lloyds TSB.
Until the mid-20th century, the family business occupied a position at the heart of a local community which was still largely self-supporting. Supermarket and internet shopping were still a long way in the future.
The small towns of Settle and Bentham, with their flourishing markets, were important trading centres with a full complement of shops and services, and the surrounding villages all supported their own businesses as well. Outlying hamlets and isolated farms were regularly supplied with deliveries.
There was a wide range of goods for sale. Many were produced locally, but there was also a huge choice of more exotic foods, clothing and household goods, easily transported by the excellent rail network. Hobbies, pastimes and sporting activities were all catered for and skilled craftsmen ensured that most articles could be manufactured, fitted and repaired close to home.
The weekly markets in Bentham and Settle are the sole survivors of the many special markets and fairs held since medieval times on regular days throughout the year.
The 150 years after the end of the Commonwealth period was a golden age for trade in Craven. Before the growth of the big industrial cities, Settle was an important centre and a new Market Charter was granted in 1708, allowing for extra fairs to be held for the sale of livestock and the many goods and commodities produced in the area. Many of the surrounding villages also had their own livestock fairs, some being especially associated with the large sales of Scotch cattle driven south for the purpose.
By the end of the 19th century groups of local farmers were setting up livestock auction marts to centralise trade and take advantage of the transport opportunities offered by the railway. The former livestock markets began to dwindle and had virtually disappeared by the 1950s.
Fairs provided a great opportunity for lively celebration and entertainment of all kinds. Travelling circuses were very popular in the late 19th century and an annual fair, with rides and amusements, still arrives in Settle every autumn.
The smithy at the entrance to Bowskills Yard (on the old high road behind The Folly) is the sole survivor of several which once existed in the town. Blacksmiths provided an essential service: shoeing horses and producing and repairing all kinds of iron work.
The growing prosperity of North Craven from the late 17th century onwards led to the establishment of large numbers of inns, all competing for the business of travellers and tradesmen.
Some enterprising innkeepers took advantage of the road improvements of the late 18th and early 19th centuries and re-sited their entrances or moved to new locations to catch the passing trade.
Inns maintained their place at the heart of community life until late in the 20th century and hosted all kinds of meetings, entertainments and celebrations. Although recent years have seen a steady decline in their number as people choose other ways of spending their free time, there are some encouraging signs that once again change is on the way.
The combination of a thin coal seam, clay drifts and a plentiful water supply at Burton-in-Lonsdale gave rise to a thriving pottery industry.
Most of the potters were farmers as well and nearly the whole community was involved in the production. To this day, the householders of Burton have the right to dig clay in the parish. The potteries opened in the middle of the 18th century and the first potters may have arrived from Staffordshire in search of new opportunities.
To begin with, the potteries produced earthenware and turned out large quantities of cream pots, bread-making bowls (panchions), jugs and bottles of all shapes and sizes. The pots were sold locally but also sent to Ireland and the Isle of Man. After the discovery of fireclay, it was possible to produce stoneware, fired at a higher temperature. Wand weavers wove individual baskets to protect large jars and bottles in transit. Some of the pottery, such as puzzle jugs, tobacco jars and money boxes, was decorative and produced by the potters in their spare time.
By the late 19th century, the industry began to decline as local coal supplies were exhausted and improved transport meant that mass-produced Staffordshire pottery was easily available. Only two potteries continued to operate in the 20th century and the last one closed in 1944.
(This panel is displayed in the 2015 Exhibition: A Community Skill: the Story of Burton-in-Lonsdale's Potteries. Please see 2015 Exhibitions).
The general mood of optimism which followed the Restoration in 1660 inspired landowners and farmers to increase their productivity.
Efforts were made to improve soil fertility using a variety of methods, including lime. Lime was shown to transform sour and heavy land into productive pasture. Field lime kilns became a common feature of the landscape, remaining in use until large-scale quarries were opened up in the 19th century.
Liming and other methods of land improvement such as drainage, played an important part in the enclosure movement which dramatically changed the appearance of the Dales landscape. Land enclosure began in the valleys and lower slopes, as areas of former 'waste' were taken in. By the late 18th century, Parliamentary Enclosure was introduced and vast tracts of upland, divided by ruler-straight walls, were apportioned into individual holdings. The object was to improve output and self-sufficiency during the long periods of war with France.
Local agricultural societies encouraged all-round improvements in farming. The North Ribblesdale Agricultural Association, founded in 1848, had classes in its annual show for cultivation and drainage as well as the usual livestock categories. The show was held in Settle until well into the 20th century and others, like those held in Bentham and Malham, survive to this day.
Dales farmers are among the most resilient members of our community.
Throughout the last 350 years, farmers have had to survive many challenges, from changes in agricultural policy, through spells of severe weather to the effects of war and disease. Periods of prosperity have alternated with periods of depression, influenced by local, national and global events.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries many upland farmers worked in mining or quarrying, leaving their wives at home to do much of the farming. The farming depression of the 1930s led to the formation of the Milk Marketing Board which gave stability to the dairy industry for nearly fifty years until it was disbanded in the 1980s. Subsequent price reductions have caused a massive reduction in the numbers of dairy farmers.
Both World Wars led to major efforts to produce as much home-grown food as possible. In World War II, organisation of food production in this area was in the hands of the West Riding War Agricultural Executive Committee, the 'War Ag', who set targets for ploughing land traditionally used only for pasture. The War Ag provided tractors for cultivation at a time when most farmers were still using horses. The wet climate and thin soil were unsuitable for growing corn and yields were patchy. The most useful crops were kale and mangolds which provided winter feed for animals.
The terrible outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease in 2001 had a massive impact on North Craven. Large numbers of farmers lost their entire stock. The whole countryside was closed off and the local economy slumped. Afterwards, many farmers re-assessed their businesses, re-stocking with different breeds to take account of new market trends and diversifying into other enterprises such as the direct sale of produce and catering for the growing numbers of tourists in the area.
Mounting awareness of the effects of climate change and rising energy costs has led to the formation of a growing number of community groups determined to tackle these challenges locally.
Clapham Community Co-operative and its Sustainability Group are engaged in projects to produce local food and foster self-sufficiency and community in village life.
Along with the growing of fruit and vegetables and the flowers to feed new hives of bees, bio-diesel is being made, home energy use is under review, and recycling is to the fore. All age groups, including children, are involved in planning, organising, planting and harvesting, and the enterprise is enriched by a generous mix of talent and resources.
Settle Hydro is a community hydro electric scheme which aims to generate about 165,000 units of electricity per year - enough for around 50 homes. An Archimedean screw has been installed at Settle Weir, next to Bridge End Mill using part of the old millrace.
Settle Hydro has recently won the Climate Week Award 2011 for 'Best Community Initiative'. 300 other communities have been inspired by its success to start similar projects of their own.
Burton-in-Lonsdale Village Shop and Post Office is one of around 150 community owned shops in England. It was bought in 2005 when under threat of closure and is co-managed by a small number of paid staff, supported by a dedicated band of volunteers. Many products are locally sourced or home made and the shop is a lifeline, especially to elderly people in the village.
Having been named as best rural retailer in the North West in 2007 and 2008, the shop is now a regional finalist in the 2011 Countryside Alliance Awards.
In earlier times the grassland farming carried out in this area was largely non profit making and many farmers supplemented their income through spinning and weaving.
From the 16th century there is evidence in most villages of small-scale spinning and weaving of wool, hemp, flax and, later, cotton and hand looms were found in many cottages. Raw materials were often supplied by middlemen who collected the finished work and sold it on.
With the coming of the Industrial Revolution, many of the old manorial corn mills throughout North Craven were adapted for textile production and the number of power-looms increased rapidly. This caused considerable hardship for the hand-loom weavers and several writers record their plight.
Mills for cotton spinning and weaving were established throughout the area, but it was at Bentham that the textile industry really made its mark and became the main occupation in the township. The High and Low Mills specialised in the spinning and weaving of flax and the discovery of a tubular weaving technique for the production of hose pipes was made here. To this day fire hose equipment continues to be produced in Bentham. In the later 19th century Low Mill was turned over to silk spinning and continued in business until 1969. Artificial silk spinning was carried out at Kattan's Wenning Silk Mills until 1976.
North Craven is overlaid with a network of interconnecting routes of various ages, all of which reflect the changing needs of travellers.
Before the construction of roads fit for wheeled vehicles, the only way for people to move around was to walk or ride on horseback. Goods were transported to and from market by trains of pack ponies, who were able to negotiate rough high ground and carry heavy loads supported by special pack saddles or in panniers. Many of the packhorse routes are still in use today as public rights of way.
Drove roads had a different but equally important purpose. Local tracks were linked by a system of routes stretching far beyond the Dales for the movement of animals for sale. The great cattle fairs of North Craven were a prime destination for Scottish drovers who spent many weeks on the journey.
By the second half of the 17th century, increasing economic prosperity highlighted the need for a better road system so that goods could be transported in larger quantities on carts and people could travel greater distances in the relative comfort of a coach. Turnpike Trusts were set up, with the object of managing road improvements by means of charging tolls to users. In Craven the most important north-south route - roughly the line of today's A65 - was in the hands of the Keighley and Kendal Turnpike Trust, who maintained the road until it was taken over by the Local Authority in 1878.
Ironically, in today's world, it is the desire to travel faster and use ever-larger vehicles for transport in order to combat delivery costs, that is presenting this area with some of its greatest economic and environmental challenges.
Before 1600 most houses in Craven (apart from Skipton Castle and medieval Churches) were built in timber using a cruck frame construction. This was the earliest form of building technology and was used from as early as the 8th century until the 16th century, when it was superceded by stone. Unfortunately these type of buildings have disappeared but tantalizing fragments can be found in some buildings today.
Crucks were formed by splitting two pairs of crooked trees down the middle, which were then set up on the ground and joined at their apexes by a ridge tree. Each pair of crucks was strengthened by a tie-beam; the cruck feet rested on stone bases, called stylobats, to preserve them.
The rectangular single storey space had an open hearth in the middle for the fire, with a hole in the thatched roof to allow the smoke to escape.
During the 17th c timber in the Dales was in short supply and stone, which was more readily available, became the alternative building material. Tenants were given permission to rebuild their dwellings in stone, which had the advantage of being more durable.
Hearths moved from the centre of the room to the gable and were encased in huge projecting stacks, as in the Folly, which gave fire protection.
Following the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, there was a period of prosperity in the North of England after the years of Civil War and general unrest. People felt confident that they could build something more substantial and permanent. For the next 60 years there was a period of Great Rebuilding during which time most of the early buildings were destroyed.
The new 17th c houses were more sophisticated; they provided additional comforts and became status symbols. In the Dales they took the form of a longhouse with a barn at one end, divided into a series of rooms stretching from front to back, each with its own function and often heated, if the owner could afford it, for a Hearth Tax was introduced during this period (1660-1697). In Settle most of the houses had one hearth, essential for cooking and heating water. The Folly which was the most prosperous house in the town had nine hearths.
The windows also reflected the wealth of the owner. Again there was a tax from 1697-1851 on the number of windows in each house. Other features were the doorways. In the Settle region many of these have ornate carved stone lintels with the initials of the owners proudly displayed, and the date when the rebuilding occurred.
The new houses were usually two storeyed which necessitated the introduction of a staircase. Originally simple ladders sited at the back of the house, these gradually became an architectural feature in their own right. A particularly fine example is here in the Folly, contained within a substantial stone tower, which rises above the main roof to allow views out over the landscape. The present staircase terminates at the second floor.
Early buildings were constructed in the vernacular using local traditions and materials by craftsmen whose names are usually unknown. Builders were unaware of fashions, but this changed in the 18th century as some began to travel abroad discovering classical architecture in Italy. As a result of these journeys many masons became architects and a new profession was born. Many 16th and 17th century houses in Craven were enlarged during the Georgian period, effectively 'Georgianised' with new front elevations.
The term Georgian Architecture describes buildings erected between the reigns of George I to George IV (1714 to 1830) and William IV 1830-1837. The first Georgian houses in Craven appear from 1780 onwards and continued into the Victorian era until 1870 when the styles changes again.
Mewith Head, High Bentham, was probably built around 1750 and is an example of the transition from the 17th century medieval house to an 18th century Georgian design. The façade is symmetrical and the doorway is in the centre with classical columns and a pediment. The windows however are more conservative and have traditional stone mullions and transomes, albeit a different shape to hold the small panes of glass. Dressed stone quoins, all of the same size, have been used at the gable ends, superseding the cruder stone of 17th century buildings.
Most Georgian houses in Craven were extensions of earlier houses. At Bankwell House in Giggleswick, the 17th century house survives on the right, with a link to a larger Georgian house, built in 1820, on the left.
Abbeylands at Stackhouse near Settle, is another example of a large south front added around 1820 to an earlier house at the rear. By this date joinery and building techniques had advanced. Sash windows made of timber replaced the stone mullion windows. These were larger, less draughty, and displayed the joiner's skill in manufacturing a large window, with thin wood glazing bars to hold the larger panes of glass then becoming available.
Marshfield, Settle is very similar to Abbeylands and Bankwell, but there is no earlier building at the rear which is very unusual in Craven.
The old 17th century buildings were often Georgianised. At Goat Gap Farmhouse, Clapham, a row of mullions, under the long dripstone, have been removed and in their place a Georgian window and doorway have been inserted.
Georgian houses are always double pile, i.e. with rooms at the back as well as the front. The staircase is always at the back and is a prominent feature, providing access from the basement to the attic.
The Society was founded in 1968, and like other societies in the National Civic Trust movement, aims to help all in its area to understand and appreciate all that is best in town, the adjacent villages, and the surrounding countryside. It has helped through the formation of sub-committees to protect ancient buildings (perhaps the most significant achievement in this field was the designation of Settle as a Conservation Area in 1972 by the West Riding County Council); inaugurated the Facelift Scheme for Settle Market Place, and campaigned to protect wild flowers on roadside verges. It has also watched over footpaths, and surveyed and planted many trees, as well as taking an active role in local topics such as the development of Giggleswick Quarry, and the proposals for Hellifield Reservoir.
A news Bulletin is sent out to all the 250 members twice a year and the Society also arranges a programme of meetings, lectures, films and exhibitions.
In the wake of European Architectural Heritage Year 1975 Civic Societies were encouraged to form building preservation trusts to carry out practical restoration projects. For legal reasons, these new Trusts had to be registered as limited companies and have separate charitable status.
In 1976 a group of Civic Society members came together to form North Craven Building Preservation Trust. Their first project was the restoration of Coneygar in Victoria Street, Settle.
The Museum initially was run by a separate committee of the Settle and District Civic Society led by Mrs A Read. Formed in September 1976 it arranged its first display in the Barn in Twisleton's yard (1). Over 1,000 people came to see the exhibition.
By an Agreement between the Civic Society and the Building Preservation Trust the Collection was moved to Coneygar in Victoria Street (2), when the North Craven Building Preservation Trust completed the restoration of the building in 1977 in time for the Queen's Silver Jubilee.

1999-2001 Refurbishment of The Folly.
17th Dec 2001 Royal Visit. HRH The Prince of Wales opens the Museum of North Craven Life in The Folly.
2010 The Trust purchases the North Range of The Folly. It continues to operate the ground floor as a holiday let.
The Folly is the third and we hope the final home of the Museum of North Craven Life. The Carnegie Exhibition 'Life in North Craven' started life in 1980 in the Victoria Street premises and has been updated twice before it arrived in the Folly.
The Trustees decided at the outset that an important means of attracting visitors and repeat visits by local Craven residents is through an annual programme of special exhibitions about aspects of Craven or of work by Craven artists.
A second Appeal to acquire 6/8 Chapel Street and expand the Museum in 1980's raised £200,000.
The proposals are based on the Trust acquiring the Hall and South Ranges of the Folly. In the short term the works proposed are initially only those essential to relocate the Museum of North Craven Life ensuring the building is useable and accessible by disabled visitors and has adequate fire protection and security. The works proposed would also establish the holiday let or residential use on the first and second floor of the South Range.
(ii) the North Range does not become available in which case the Trust may wish to take alternative steps to improve the basic provision made initially - for example converting the existing garage premises to provide more extensive visitor sanitary facilities, school facilities or a new tea room in conjunction with the gardens.
It is the Trust's intention to bring the Folly back into a single and beneficial ownership and thus to seek to acquire the North Range of the Folly if it comes to the market, if an acceptable acquisition price can be negotiated and if adequate funds can be raised. In this case, which relates to the first of the scenarios outlined above, the Trust would seek to pursue a three phase strategy for the Folly.
The objective of Phase I is to acquire the Hall and South Ranges, to complete the necessary fabric repairs and to undertake the minimum works required to relocate the Museum, establish public and disabled access at a basic level and generate income from simple tea/shop facilities and the holiday let.
The financial objective is to secure ownership and complete the works within the resources available as grant aid or if this is not possible to avoid any long term borrowing which cannot be repaid in the medium term (5-10 years) using existing income from Chapel Street and the Folly itself.
By limiting the Phase I works the Trust can marshall its resources so that it can act quickly if the North Range comes to the market. This may be important if the property market improves or if the marketability of the North Range is improved by the Trust's own acquisition and reuse of the remainder of the building. An urgent Trust response may also be necessary in the event of a forced sale of the North Range. In this situation there might not be the opportunity for the Trust to embark on a prolonged fund-raising campaign to raise the acquisition costs.
The objective of Phase II would be simply to acquire the North Range and continue to generate income from its current ground floor retail use and from the existing residential accommodation either through straightforward residential leasing or as a holiday let. Essential repairs only would be undertaken.
The financial objective of this second phase would be first and foremost to secure the ownership of the North Wing within the resources that can be raised quickly as grant aid, or from any financial reserves the Trust has set aside from Phase I or any other income. As a last resort any shortfall might be raised as medium-term borrowing repaid from the income generated from lettings of the North Range ground and upper floors. The phase is limited in its scope to minimise the overall funds the Trust has to have in place in order to proceed with the North Range acquisition thus allowing a quick response.
The physical consequences of this phase are illustrated on Panel I. This shows a ground floor retail area of approximately 102 sq m. and a two/three bedroom residential unit on the upper floors assuming the recent existing internal subdivisions of the 17th c. rooms are retained.
The Trust was able to acquire the North Range in February 2010.
The third and final phase of the long term strategy will be to reinstate and reorganise the building removing the 1994 subdivisions. This will allow the expansion of the Museum, the improvement of disabled access and visitor sanitary facilities and the improvement of the trading elements, the 'tea-room' and shop, to generate increased revenue income. These works can be planned in detail and a fundraising programme implemented at any stage following the completion of Phase II - North Range Acquisition. If funds cannot be raised to meet the entire cost of the Phase III proposals then they in turn could also be phased according to the funds that are available.
The insertion of a new lift in the service area adjacent to the main stairs to give internal disabled access to the first floor (as opposed to the external access provided in Phases I and II).
The installation of new internal visitor sanitary facilities adjacent to the lift.
The construction of a new kitchen in the rear part of the attached garage to allow the tea-room to be relocated in the ground floor of the North Range.
The reorganization of the first floor of the North Range modern partitions to allow circulation from the main spaces to the lift and the separate enclosure of the access to the second floor.
Minor reorganisation of the second floor partitions to create a smaller self-contained 2 person residential/holiday let.
Extension of the new Phase I and II services into the North Range and the rationalisation and improvement of the existing.
Removal of the garden subdivision.
The Trust's financial objectives would be to minimise any borrowings whilst maximising grant aid and to maximise the opportunity for revenue generation in support of the Museum's operational, staff and maintenance costs.
Fifteen years later we are rethinking the Strategy. What do you think we should do? We would like to know your views.


North Korea is a seven-decades-old, nuclear-armed dynasty run by a third-generation tyrant, Kim Jong-un.
But, consumed with the overriding impulse to make history, US President Donald Trump shook hands with Kim in Singapore, playing right into his family regime's 70-year history of post-provocation pageantry. In doing so, Trump has won some gripping optics of rapprochement, but at the cost of compromising US leverage and further enabling Kim to buy time for his nuclear programs.
After assiduously claiming that nothing short of the timely CVID (complete, verifiable, irreversible dismantlement) of Pyongyang's nuclear programs would be acceptable, President Trump caved and settled for curiously little, while vigorously flattering the North Korean despot.
The "deliverables" from the summit are shoddy. The Trump-Kim joint statement is conspicuously devoid of meaning. The "verifiable" and "irreversible" elements of CVID were nowhere to be found in the joint statement, one of the two tangible products of the summit meeting (the other, a video montage of snapshots, clichés and self-parodies, is a subject for a separate exposition).
The statement contains no specifics. There is no mention of the suspension of plutonium reprocessing or uranium enrichment. Not a word about the International Atomic Energy Agency or monitoring. Key words such as "verification," "safeguards" and "ballistic missiles" are absent. There is no timetable for any action to be taken by either side. No details for the devil to delight in.
Trump's undignified remarks have set an ignoble precedent. When it comes to attempting, through artful diplomacy, to denuclearize a de facto nuclear bombs-possessing state that has not undergone a change in its leadership or political system, there is no precedent for success. When South Africa, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belarus relinquished the bomb, they had all been reborn — in political terms anyway — as children of the Renaissance: post-apartheid, post-Cold War and genuinely pro-engagement with the advanced nations of the world. Taiwan, Province of China, South Korea, Brazil and Libya were all in the nascent stages of nuclear programs and far away from acquiring the ultimate weapon.
For those who look to history for guidance, the outcomes of the Singapore summit were predictable.
In 2000, Kim Jong-il, the second-generation North Korean dictator and father of the current leader, came out of his hardened anti-social shell. As his son, Jong-un, is doing these days, Kim the Second lined up world leaders for a series of summit pageantries. As is Kim the Third's scheme today, Kim Jong-il's outreach was a crafty attempt to reset the geopolitical chessboard, transform himself into a globe-trotting statesman and shake down his expanded neighbourhood for extortion money with which to build better bombs.
From May to July, 2000, Kim Jong-il held summits with the leaders of China, South Korea, and Russia in succession. Vladimir Putin's visit to Pyongyang in July, all but forgotten today, was the first-ever visit to North Korea by the top Russian (or Soviet) leader. It reflected Kim's status as a bona fide nuclear aspirant in the post-Cold War era. Not even his own father, Kim Il-sung, the original Great Leader, had risen to such stature during his half-century rule.
An invitation to President Bill Clinton to visit Pyongayng followed in October. President Clinton, despite the risk in accepting the invitation, was keen on making history, much as Trump has been in recent months, including the days leading up to his historic moment in Singapore. Because of the day's political climate, Clinton's visit never materialized.
Today, the Kim dynasty continues the two-act play of provocations and post-provocation peace ploys. History is a guide. It must not be ignored.
Riding high on his victory in Singapore, Kim Jong-un will continue his outreach campaign, meeting with Vladimir Putin, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and perhaps even speaking at the UN General Assembly Session in September, which will create the opportunity to meet with — and further soften —Trump. It's likely that Kim will eventually visit China's special economic zone, heralding a fake era of reform and thereby buying more time and money with which to pursue his real interests: the further building and weaponizing of his bombs and ballistic missiles. Ensnared into a protracted negotiation process, Trump will find it politically difficult to walk away and revive his "maximum pressure" campaign — a combination of the threat of the use of force, tough sanctions enforcement and diplomatic isolation.
For the Kim regime, it pays to provoke. And it pays even more to placate afterward. The Kim dynasty's formidable military power, bizarre image and outlandish belligerence is highly effective in compelling its adversaries to put their guard down the moment it changes the tune. The regime's weaponization of its own identity dates back to the 1970s. Founding leader Kim Il-sung would beguile foreign visitors by coming across as a reasonable, well-informed leader presiding over a small nation threatened by the United States. Kim Jong-il recycled this scheme with great success in the 2000s, and today Kim Jong-un is merely implementing the same Pyongyang playbook.
For Trump to lunge at the first opportunity to make history without knowledge of history was his first mistake. To show his cards prematurely, expressing his excitement and aspiration to win the Nobel Peace Prize, was his second mistake. But the biggest mistake of all was to meet Kim Jong-un. For Kim, co-starring in this epic Singapore reality show has reset the geopolitical table, compelled Trump to sign an agreement — hollow as it is — and empowered his neighbours to stop enforcing sanctions.
Indeed, the Singapore summit was historic, but for all the wrong reasons. In order to minimize the damage, an immediate resumption of maximum pressure is essential. Only through further enforcement of sanctions and diplomatic isolation will the Kim regime, under financial and psychological duress, be resigned to negotiate in good faith.

Since August 14th, 1791 darkness has largely prevailed over the Caribbean nation of Haiti. On this date, several African Slaves gathered together for a Voodoo Ceremony at Bois Caïman, Haiti, sacrificing a pig and committing their island to Satan in exchange for victory over their French oppressors. With supernatural help, it seems, these slaves defeated the entire French military, driving them back to Europe forming the Republic of Haiti in 1804.
When I was 16 years old, the Lord called me to Haiti. As I read about the people and the darkness that prevailed over the poorest nation in the western hemisphere, my heart broke for them, longing to share the love of Jesus with these hungry, desperate people. I quickly signed up for a mission trip to Haiti with Teen Mania Ministries in 2000. However, due to political unrest, my trip was moved from Haiti to Panama.
December 5th-17th, after seven years of waiting, God has opened a door for me to go to Haiti. A team of fourteen people from IHOP will seek to refresh and strengthen the spiritual leadership, and help train and equip intercessors at a house of prayer. As I prayed about the trip, I felt like the Lord said, "You were not ready to go to Haiti when you were 16, but now you are." After meeting the leader of the trip, James Adams, a native Haitian, my heart was deeply connected with his vision: "to establish the righteousness of God in Haiti through the spoken Word."I am in need of $1,800 for my airfare to Haiti, meals for the Haitian leaders during the conference, and other trip expenses. Would you help me see the nation of Haiti changed through the Word of God and prayer by giving a special gift above or by praying for my trip?
On this trip we desire to refresh the broken, tired, and weary spiritual leadership of Haiti, empowering them to do the work of ministry and evangelism in their own nation. Hundreds of Christian leaders from all over Haiti will be attending our three day conference in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. The theme of the conference will be building their lives upon the rock of the revelation of Christ (Matthew 16:16-18) and washing themselves clean from unrighteousness and compromise (Isaiah 1:18-19) as many Haitian Christian leaders are living a double life of Voodoo and Christianity. James Adams and our team will be teaching the leaders. Afterwards, our team will spend extended time talking and praying with each of the leaders with the help of translators.
I will be leading worship for the conference along with another member of the team. We are going to try to do mixed Haitian Creole and English worship. Over the next few months I will be learning Creole songs and translating some of my own songs into Creole. It is certainly a big challenge, but we are making considerable progress.
We are going to be feeding all of the leaders who are coming to the conference so that none will be hindered from attending, since the average income is only $1,800 a year. During these three meals a day, we will eat with them to fellowship and encourage them.
We are also going to visit an orphanage and preach in the mountains of Haiti while we are there. One of James' friends in Haiti runs an orphanage for some of the many orphans of Haiti. They desperately need the Father to touch them. We will spend a day in this orphanage holding and loving the kids. I am really looking forward to this part!! We will also visit some of the poorest parts of Haiti taking the Gospel of the Kingdom with us as we go.
After my disappointment of not getting to go to Haiti when I was a teenager, the Lord led me to begin to sponsor a child in Haiti named Jeff through Compassion International. The Lord promised me that He would provide the money every month for it (that is a scary commitment to make when you are a teenager without a job!) Through the help of some of James' friends and the Compassion Staff, I am going to try to meet Jeff after six years of writing letters and being a part of his life through sowing financially into his spiritual, physical, and scholastic development. I am so excited and I know, once he finds out, he is going to be even more excited than I am!! Please pray with me that all the details will get worked out.
At the end of our trip we will be holding a conference in Croix des Bouquets (Quadebouke) for Haitians desiring to staff the House of Prayer there called The Rock (www.ihophaiti.org). Three sessions a day will teach the model and the truths and values that have sustained 24/7 prayer at IHOP in Kansas City for eight years. We are also going to help with structural changes to the facility. Furthermore, as leaders in prayer will be coming from all over the nation, we will gather more information about the prayer movement in Haiti. We firmly believe that prayer is the only hope for change in Haiti. This conference will help train intercessors to pray night and day changing the atmosphere over Haiti and reversing the curse put upon this people so long ago.

Girl Scouts of Central Maryland (GSCM), after months of fundraising efforts, received a sizable contribution from the Wheeler Foundation that has allowed the organization to purchase a new van to provide transportation for members of the council's "Beyond Bars" troop.
The $25,000 donation covered the majority of the $33,000 cost of a new 2016 Ford Transit 15-passenger van.
The Girl Scouts' Beyond Bars program links girls with their mothers who are incarcerated at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women (MCIW) in Jessup, Maryland through troop meetings at the prison. The van will be used to transport girls living with guardians in Maryland to MCIW for their twice-monthly troop meetings.
Troop meeting activities at MCIW facilitate bonding so that trust can be reestablished as the girls work with their mothers to earn badges and learn Girl Scout traditions. GSCM also takes the girls on field trips, where they can explore and learn teamwork and responsibility.
The van will also be used to take the girls on these educational field trips. The previous vehicle used for these purposes was beyond repair.
There are currently 35 girls participating in the Beyond Bars program. On any given troop meeting day, between six and 12 girls are picked up from their homes or from Girl Scouts headquarters on Seton Drive for the trip to MCIW.
The Girl Scouts Beyond Bars program began in Central Maryland in 1992 and has been replicated by dozens of Girl Scout councils across the nation.
Research conducted by the National Girl Scouts Research Institute shows that the girls in the Beyond Bars program fare better in school and with relationships than girls who lose connection with their incarcerated mothers.

About ISoP - In Memoriam
Remembering colleagues and friends who have passed away – they will be sadly missed in our pharmacovigilance community.
Michel Ollagnier
In memory of Professor Michel Ollagnier (1944 – 2021)
Prof Michel Ollagnier was a Professor of Clinical Pharmacology, Director of the Regional Pharmacovigilance Center of Saint-Etienne (France), and President of the French Association of the Regional Pharmacovigilance Centers during several years.
He has been the last vice-president of the European Society of Pharmacovigilance (ESOP) and played an important role in the founding of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance (ISoP). Prof Michel Ollagnier became an honorary member of the ISoP in October 2006, at the General Assembly in Liège (Belgium).
Michel had a very endearing personality, he was a fervent supporter of the development of pharmacovigilance and influenced the development of pharmacovigilance in France and on the international level. He always had a mischievous smile, a caring listening.
Our thoughts are with his wife and his family.
Prof Thierry Trenque
(Regional Pharmacovigilance Center Reims, France)
Joerg Hasford
In memory of Professor Joerg Hasford (1950 – 2021)
It is with great sadness that we write on the passing of our colleague and friend Professor Joerg Hasford on June 10, 2021, in Munich.
Joerg Hasford was a founding member of ESOP in November 1992 in Paris. He was known to report in several of his talks with some pleasure and pride that, after a hard- working day at a conference and after a dinner at the restaurant "Le Café Procope", the seed of an idea to create a European pharmacovigilance society was planted – on the footpath in front of this famous restaurant. It was not a crazy idea, it was the starting point to a remarkable development – a scientific society bringing pharmacovigilance experts together whose members these days come from all continents.
Joerg Hasford received his academic education in medicine at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University in Munich and the Free University in Berlin. In 1980, he received his PhD in clinical pharmacology, and in 1989, after his postdoctoral lecture qualification (habilitation), he was appointed as lecturer of biometry and epidemiology in Munich. From 1994 until his retirement, he was professor for medical informatics and epidemiology at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University in Munich.
Joerg Hasford's scientific interests in pharmacovigilance and its various disciplines started early and expanded over time to take a dominant role in his professional career. His interests comprised benefit-harm assessment of drugs and patient safety issues in this context, patient adherence to medicines and interventions, clinical trial methodology, pharmacoepidemiology and public health issues. He published more than 300 papers, particularly in drug utilisation, compliance and persistence, biometry and statistics of clinical and epidemiological studies. His publications and numerous posters at ISoP conferences covered the assessment of adverse reactions including malformations, pharmacoeconomics as well as quality of life.
He was the initiator of a network of pharmacovigilance centres in the Eastern federal countries after the reunification of Germany, and he coordinated this network for more than ten years. He was the founder of the German chapter of the Drug Utilization Research Group (DURG) and consortium member of the IMI-PROTECT in the European Union. In addition, he was a member of the European Network of Centres for Epidemiology and Pharmacovigilance (ENCePP).
Joerg Hasford served in ESOP as a member of the Executive Committee, as Vice-Treasurer and, later, as an ISoP member of many programme committees. He was one of the main enthusiasts for the creation of ISoP from ESOP. He recognized the great value of the European Society as it evolved from a largely French initiative focusing on developing the logic and science of pharmacovigilance and creating more evidence-based approaches to decision-making for medicinal therapies. While others had similar thoughts, the challenge was to extend the vision and operations beyond Europe to a Society that would benefit the whole world, bringing forth and supporting those with little or no resources and neither scientific nor political support for their work. Some thought that such a development was premature, but time has shown that our internationalisation has brought many benefits to many people globally. Joerg Hasford's firmness, experience and good judgement were key in this development.
He attended many ISoP Annual Meetings, and in 2014 he delivered the Beje Wiholm Lecture in Tianjin, China ('Clinical trials, information technologies and benefit assessment – current challenges for pharmacovigilance'). He contributed substantially at the ISoP/ENTIS-Workshop on Pregnancy Drug Registries and Good Pharmacovigilance Practice in June 2016 in Berlin. In 2020 he received the ISoP Fellowship Award.
He was an enormously creative person and open-minded to new developments in the field. Beyond this he was a personality with a great sense of humour. We remember him and our mutual co-operation over many years with pleasure and respect.
Our thoughts are with his wife and his family. He will be missed by many.

David J Finney
In memory of Professor David J Finney (1917-2018), Honorary member of ISoP
David J Finney: the founder of pharmacovigilance
I Ralph Edwards
David was a remarkable, modest person and wonderful as a friend. His scientific achievements in mathematics and statistics are numerous and are well recorded at the James Lind Library (see www.jameslindlibrary.org/finney-dj-1965/), but he was also a traveller, a raconteur, kind, and yet determined. He had a profound interest in people and their welfare and happiness, certainly not as an amorphous statistical group.
He was the originator of the concept of pharmacovigilance. His pivotal 1965 paper about his original far-reaching thoughts after the thalidomide tragedy was entitled "The design and logic of a monitor of drug use". He wrote it whilst on sabbatical leave at Harvard:
"The aim must be to create conditions under which hitherto unsuspected associations between a drug and a reaction in a patient are recognized as early as possible. To this end, emphasis should be placed on the recording of events (his emphasis), untoward happenings in patients, rather than adverse reactions."
"Even the simplest type of recording, in which events are recorded but very few attendant circumstances, could have drawn attention to the rapid increase in phocomelia in West Germany… A system of control cards could be used to follow trends. If recording is more full… great opportunities arise for the detection of important associations".
So David Finney was the first to see the potential of patient monitoring for adverse events. Note that he was mainly concerned with what the patients experienced as an outcome of their treatment, rather than just considering the effects of the drugs.
David Finney's brainchild has become a reality through the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring and the Foundation Collaborating Centre in Uppsala. Moreover, at least a vision of his ideas is held in almost every nation in the world: to consider the outcomes of the treatments we use in medicine and to find out whether medicines work well in real-life medical practice in very different contexts. Whilst David noted that a systematic approach was necessary and that it would be costly overall, he also pointed out the potential long-term savings. Most countries accept the truths of that, even when they may not have the resources to bring about the necessary changes. Around 130 countries have systems to monitor safety of medicines.
The whole world, therefore, has benefitted greatly from this one person. More of his relevant thoughts in the broad area of patient outcomes and individual patient monitoring are collected in the UMC book 'Writings in Pharmacovigilance'.
The depth of David's concern about science as well as people was expressed in his writings about the misuses and misunderstandings of statistics. One of his papers on statistics was entitled, 'A necessity for living or a source of nonsense'. In this paper he talks about the dangers of extrapolating results citing, as an example, the following. Results from 1400 patients admitted to 28 hospitals in two states of Australia showed a 16% rate of 'adverse events' causing prolongation of hospital stay and even death. He took issue at using this 16% figure in combination with data from a different study that showed there were 2.8 hospital admissions overall in the country annually. Incorrect extrapolation in using the two results from different studies gave the scary, but wrong, interpretation of 450 000 patients that may have such a serious drug related adverse event annually in Australia.
Nor was David short on delightfully quiet and ironic humour. In his paper, 'Support and illumination' he commences with a joke: "Too many people use statistics as a drunken man uses a lamppost – for support rather than illumination!", and then he proceeds to discuss the confusions in terminology in the jargon terms of statistics and the same words in common English use, such as 'chance', risk', 'probability' and 'not significant'.
I have enjoyed several opportunities to chat with David over the years and to see him in action too, but one of the most poignant was at an International Society of Pharmacoepidemiology meeting in Edinburgh where he was the first Professor of Statistical Sciences. He was sitting alone in a corridor where conference delegates were hurrying to their coffee between sessions: nobody talked to, or even recognised him. He simply sat still and gazed out of the window, apparently deep in thought. When I spoke he said, "Oh hallo" as though I saw him every day. I asked him if he had been in the meeting, and he said he thought he might not understand it. It didn't take much to persuade him to sit in on a session, nor did it take long before he corrected a presenter who reported a 119% increase in x, pointing out gently but firmly that, "Per cent means 'out of a hundred'."
I shall not forget David and I wish more of you had been able to enjoy this gentle-man's company, but I am also pleased that we had him with us for more than 100 years. His family must be very proud of him and we hope that the knowledge of his importance to so many might offer a little comfort to them.
FOOTNOTE: On 18 November 2009, Professor David J Finney was interviewed at his home in Edinburgh (in his 92nd year) by Jan P Vandenbroucke on behalf of the Royal Statistical Society of Great Britain of which he was past-President, and for The James Lind Library. There you can find more about this great man's life.
This appeared in Uppsala Reports 80, 2019.
Ana Maria Corrêa Nunes
In memory of Dr. Ana Maria Corrêa Nunes (1947-2017).
It is with great sadness that I write on the passing of our colleague and friend Dr. Ana Maria Corrêa Nunes on 24th of December 2017.
Ana obtained her medical degree in Lisbon in 1972 and specialized in Internal Medicine and Cardiology. After a few years of clinical work she switched to the pharmaceutical industry and later to INFARMED, the Portuguese national medicines authority. But Ana's work went beyond the borders of Portugal.
I met Ana when she came in Uppsala in 1998 working on the process of generating signals from international data. I had recently started a new job at the Pharmacovigilance department of a company in Uppsala, and our meetings became the beginning of many years of friendship, and sharing of knowledge and ideas. Ana later became a member of the UMC signal review panel.
Ana was the first Secretary-General of the International Society of Pharmacovigilance (ISoP) (2000-2003), under Prof. Ralph Edwards's presidency. Many of us know Ana from ESOP and then ISoP and will treasure fond memories from ISoP conferences in different parts of the world.
In 2005, Ana became a Member of the Committee for Orphan Drugs (COMP), at the Europe Medicines Agency and a few years later she joined the ENCePP Steering Group.
Ana was devoted to her work, determined to do what was right, and improve the life of patients. However, she always found time for friends and family. She had high integrity and was a very caring person, with a lot of good sense of humor. Ana loved the arts, opera, fado, orchids and everything that was beautiful. She also became a true expert in decorating cakes with sugar art.
It has been a privilege for me to have been a part of Ana's life, which ended much too early. She passed away from a rare disease for which there is as yet no cure. Ana wanted us all to continue to improve pharmacovigilance and contribute to development of new treatments.
Christina Ström Möller
Giampaolo Velo
We are deeply saddened to report the death of Professor Giampaolo Velo past ISoP President (2003-2006) who died in Verona Borgo Trento hospital in Italy on August 17, 2017.
He will be greatly missed by his ISoP colleagues and friends and we are most grateful to Professor Nicholas Moore (past ISoP President (2006-2009)) for providing the obituary below.
We are sad;
On August 17, 2017 Giampaolo Velo has left. Padrino is gone.
He was 74 years young, always there for a new idea, a new trip, a new endeavour. He has left an indelible mark in European pharmacology, from initial fundamental pharmacology, to clinical pharmacology, expanding his interests to pharmacovigilance, ecopharmacovigilance, and was already preparing space pharmacology…
He was professor of Pharmacology in Verona, director of the institute of pharmacology of the universities of Verona and Padova, of the regional pharmacovigilance centre of the Veneto Region, of the reference centre for education and communication within the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring.
He was president of ISoP (2003-2006), which he opened to Asia with the Manila Meeting and chairman of EACPT of which he was a cofounder, and on the editorial board of most European journals in our field.
Over many years, he organised meetings in Erice for the Fondazione Ettore Majorana, which were typical of him: in a beautiful place, with extreme collegiality based on sound traditions (Marsala after dinner), with serious work in the daytime, resulting in communications such as the Erice Declaration on communication in Pharmacovigilance, or a special issue of British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology on Herbal Medicines. His curiosity was immense, and took him all over the (pharmacological and public health) world, where he knew everyone and everyone loved him.
His kindness was infinite, his hospitality legendary. Certainly entirely thanks to Giulia. He loved her to the point of having a car in her name (a giuletta, of course).
We grieve for her, for his children, for all of us. We are all his orphans.
See Giampaolo's conference on ecopharmacovigilance in Bordeaux in November 2008:
René-Jean Royer
René-Jean Royer, born 8 may 1931, professor of Clinical Pharmacology in Nancy, left us in July 2016.
He was fundamental to Pharmacovigilance and to our Society, having founded the European Society of Pharmacovigilance, ESOP, in 1992, chaired it as president, and led in 2000 the change to ISoP, the international Society of Pharmacovigilance.
He presided the French national Pharmacovigilance Commission. He also presided the Pharmacovigilance Working party of CHMP, first in Brussels then in London, the predecessor to PRAC. In fact, with his many friends he was present and instrumental at all the important points in the foundation of European Pharmacovigilance. Many of these friends have preceded him (Sue Wood, Ron Mann, Chalbi Belkahia, to cite but a few), but many others remain and grieve him.
He was a profoundly just and caring person, who nurtured science and cohesion, left a powerful team in Nancy and a vibrant French Pharmacovigilance System. Discussions with him were always insightful. Even though he was often seen more as a politician of Pharmacovigilance, he was no less a scientist, and published over a hundred papers between 1969 and 2000, on rheumatology, clinical pharmacology and pharmacovigilance.
As the two other « French Presidents » of ISoP our grief is acute, but we share it with many others whose grief is no less strong, among whom the members of ISoP worldwide. We also share this grief with his wife and daughters, one of whom was also member of Isop's executive committee.
Prof. Nicholas Moore (ISoP President 2006-2009)
Prof. Hervé Le Louet (ISoP President 2012-2016)
Andrew Herxheimer
Dr Andrew Herxheimer, honorary member of ISoP, died on 22 February 2016.
ISoP and the global public health community have lost a dear colleague and friend who showed unwavering lifelong passion in protecting and acting in the interests of patients especially those whose voices went unheard.
Dr Andrew Herxheimer was a clinical pharmacologist in the Cochrane Collaboration, Emeritus Fellow of the UK Cochrane Centre, a convenor of the Cochrane Collaboration Adverse Effects Methods Group, and the founding member of International Society of Drug Bulletins (ISDB).
Dr Herxheimer became a honorary member of ISoP in October 2010, at the General Assembly in Accra, Ghana. Always active, he was a keen supporter of ESOP (European Society of Pharmacovigilance) and thoroughly enjoyed attending the Society meetings and welcomed the opportunity for lively debate in a way that will be fondly missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Dr Herxheimer's family and friends.
Chalbi Belkahia
It is with great sadness that we have learnt of Professor Chalbi Belkahia's passing.
ISoP and the World of Pharmacology have lost a dear colleague and friend.
As a strong supporter of pharmacovigilance since 1976, when he was Assistant Professor at the Regional Centre of Pharmacovigilance in Lyon, France, he went onto create the Pharmacovigilance Unit at the Medical School in Tunis in 1977 and the Tunisian National Centre of Pharmacovigilance in 1983.
An Emeritus Professor, ex-dean of the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis, a distinguished doctor, loyal, and always proud of his students, he will be remembered for his scientific and public health contributions at national and international levels; at ISoP we will remember how much he was dedicated to Pharmacovigilance and to ISoP.
Prof Chalbi Belkahia was an Executive Committee member of ISoP in 2002-2003, a keen participant in ESOP (European Society of Pharmacovigilance)/ISoP meetings and he played an important role in the founding of the Society internationally by organizing successfully the very first international ISoP annual meeting in 2001 in Tunis-Carthage, just a few weeks after 9/11.
He was Vice-President of the Society from 2003 to 2006 and became a honorary member in 2010.
He will be missed and today our thoughts and prayers are with Prof Belkahia's family and friends.

Exploring and Expanding the Category of 'Young Workers' According to Situated Ways of Doing Risk and Safety—a Case Study in the Retail Industry

Young adult workers aged 18–24 years have the highest risk of accidents at work. Following the work of Bourdieu and Tannock, we demonstrate that young adult workers are a highly differentiated group. Accordingly, safety prevention among young adult workers needs to be nuanced in ways that take into consideration the different positions and conditions under which young adult workers are employed. Based on single and group interviews with 26 young adult workers from six various sized supermarkets, we categorize young adult retail workers into the following five distinct groups: 'Skilled workers,' 'Apprentices,' 'Sabbatical year workers,' 'Student workers,' and 'School dropouts.' We argue that exposure to accidental risk is not equally distributed among them and offer an insight into the narratives of young adult workers on the subject of risk situations at work. The categorizations are explored and expanded according to the situated ways of 'doing' risk and safety in the working practices of the adult workers. We suggest that the understanding of 'young' as an age-related biological category might explain why approaches to prevent accidents among young employees first and foremost include individual factors like advice, information, and supervision and to a lesser degree the structural and cultural environment wherein they are embedded. We conclude that age cannot stand alone as the only factor in safety prevention directed at workers aged 18–24 years; if we do so, there is a risk of overemphasizing age-related individual characteristics such as awareness and cognitive limitations before structural, relational, and hierarchical dimensions at the workplace.

LCC interviewed Salomé Voegelin to find out more about her presentation at the 4th Council of Europe's Platform Exchange on Culture and Digitisation Conference, Hearing the Fake, and her research on Listening Across Disciplines more widely.
LCC: Was the research as well received as you had hoped?
SV: People, the general public as well as artists and academics, find it very difficult to fully understand listening and sound beyond language or the musical, which represent a semantic listening and thus produce a quasi visual interpretation of sound, when what we are interested in is the more experimental and ephemeral capacity of hearing.
This on the one hand makes it harder to get people to understand the research, its aims, value and use, but at the same time it makes it more important to succeed.

Philip Fisher, investor & author of "Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits"
"Dividend increases are a sign that companies are comfortable their future profit will be resilient."
"Look to add quality, dividend-paying, blue chips when they become irrationally oversold and undervalued. That is how and when experienced investors create blue chip investment portfolios which serve them well throughout their entire lives with growth of capital and growth of dividend income. The process is called 'investing' as opposed to whatever the hype and hope of the moment is in style."
"The beauty of the high-quality, worldwide, non-cyclical approach is that it gives a good reward while being low-risk, simple, non-commission intensive, and exposed to few surprises. I have often recommended it to people who want to build a simple, sound portfolio and do not have the capital to go to investment counsel. It adapts well to a do-it-yourself approach, because there is no need for constant, high-quality security analysis to support it - which a management firm can provide, but often at a hefty price."
"Stocks are simple. All you do is buy shares in a great business for less than the business is intrinsically worth, with management of the highest integrity and ability. Then you own those shares forever."
"Twenty years in this business convinces me that any normal person using the customary three percent of the brain can pick stocks just as well, if not better, than the average Wall Street expert."
"Historical research shows that investors can achieve higher long-term returns without taking on increased risk by focusing on the factors relating to the size and valuation of companies. Dividend yield has been one such factor and the price-to-earnings ratio has been another. Over time, portfolios of stocks with higher dividend yields and lower P-E ratios have outperformed the market more than would be predicted by the efficient markets hypothesis or the capital asset pricing model."
Matt Krantz, USA Today, "Invest Like Warren Buffett"
"Focus on 'value' stocks. Studies have shown that buying companies when they're cheap (when the market value of the company is only slightly higher than the value of the assets on its books) generates much greater returns than buying more expensive fast-growing 'growth' companies. Buffett seems to know this, because he routinely buys companies when they are unloved and their stocks are relatively cheap."


Sometimes construction work is fairly seasonal, and/or cyclical. Some years are busier than others, and for a variety of reasons, the months between April and October always seem to be busier than the winter and spring months. And every now and then...things get downright hectic. We've been going through one of those periods lately;being swamped with work is a good problem to have, but it's a problem nonetheless.
One of the projects we recently (mostly) wrapped up was a bathroom renovation in Webster Groves. The project entailed nearly fully gutting the bathroom, mostly to get rid of the dated sea green tile covering the walls and the lame, non-original tile on the floor. Many, many hours of work later...offset subway tile replaced the sea green tile, a fancy weave pattern marble tile replaced the cheapo 80's floor tile, a bigger, more user-friendly pedestal sink replaced the tiny original one, the walls got fresh paint and, in short, everything old had become new.
