Healthcare professionals take temporary positions for a number of reasons. Most often we hear they enjoy learning new protocols and procedures and like to expand their clinical knowledge. Contingent workforce professionals generally feel they have more control over their work environments, enjoy better working conditions and don't get caught up in the politics of the organization. It's a career choice that may not be for everyone, but those who choose it can gain valuable experience and skills in all types of facilities, from community to university hospitals, rehabilitation centers, private centers and nearly every type of healthcare facility there is.
It is really a personal decision and depends on what you're looking for. Some people are searching for a new place to live and work. Others enjoy the professional adventure of working in new facilities, increasing their skills competencies and meeting new people. If you are uncertain, we will put you in touch with people who have worked with us for a few years - people who know the challenges and can share with you their personal experiences of working in the contingent workforce community for a temporary healthcare staffing company.
Since our launch in 1987, we've been one of the most stable and respected medical staffing companies in the nation, serving healthcare professionals in nearly every field. We're a privately held, woman-owned healthcare staffing company, which has no obligation to shareholders or Wall Street. The firm is run by healthcare professionals who know the medical staffing field intimately and respect employees for their knowledge, skills and experience. Plus, we pay competitively and offer an individualized benefits package. Best of all, we have plenty of nursing and allied health jobs to keep you very busy.
That depends on the facility. The average assignments range from two to 13 weeks, although some assignments may be shorter, others may be longer.
Our healthcare staffing service requires that healthcare professionals hold the appropriate current license and/or certification in the state in which they reside. Fees associated with securing a license in a new state can be reimbursed by RTTEMPS/RNTEMPS.
All employees are paid weekly through direct deposit. Because you are an employee of RTTEMPS/RNTEMPS healthcare staffing service, we are responsible for withholding the appropriate taxes.
We make all the arrangements for accommodations located as close to the facilities as possible. For assignments of three months or longer, we arrange for fully furnished corporate apartments. If you wish to find your own housing, we will provide a stipend. If you are not a traveler, you will reside in your permanent residence.
Be sure to take personal items, clothing, computer and entertainment equipment. Buy food supplies when you get there. Pets are permitted, however the pet deposit and transportation is your responsibility.
If you experience a problem, call your healthcare staffing account manager, who will help you troubleshoot and bring closure to the problem. An account manager is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call (800) 677-8233 , follow the emergency procedure prompts and your account manager will contact you immediately.
Our healthcare staffing company always gives you the choice of whether to accept an assignment or not.
Working in the contingent work force as a professional is a career choice - and often an exciting, rewarding one. You can decide at any point to switch to traditional employment. Your skills and experiences will serve you well. Actually, if you wish to remain at your assignment, we would support that decision because you would have gotten to know the organization, the co-workers and the region.
Please discuss benefits with your account manager.
Both. You will be oriented to the policies and procedures of both the assignment/facility and our healthcare staffing organization.
You sign a professional employment agreement, which defines your responsibilities as a healthcare staffing employee, as well as our responsibilities to you. The agreement also outlines our agreement to cover your liability, malpractice and workers' compensation insurance. You agree to uphold the practice standards of your professional field - and we, in turn, agree to compensate you for your professional skills.
If you choose to change your career direction, we encourage you to pursue the opportunity. We try to make our employees and client facilities happy. Just ask your account manager to help you with the transition.
Call your account manager, who will make the appropriate contacts.
A per diem allowance is a fixed amount of daily reimbursement we give you for meals and incidental expenses when you're away from home on business. This is something we give to our employees.
Yes. Talk to your account manager. Our policy and procedure manual also explains these policies.
Yes. The policy of our medical staffing office can be to reimburse your expenses up to the price of airfare to a given location.


Today, like most days when Hannah gets home from school, she proudly told me that she had finished all of her homework. She is such a diligent student and I never have to remind her to do any of her work. She is extremely responsible and takes a lot of pride in her work and does really well in school. She has never been tardy or absent from school and never wants me to schedule doctor or dentist appointments during school hours. I had been busy all day hosting a jewelry party for my good friend, Sue, a stylist for Stella & Dot. I was exhausted and had an annoying headache that had been bothering me since last night.
My family grew up with a few regular dishes that Mom used to fix all the time, including a rather mediocre tuna casserole. At the time, we ate it and didn't complain, but the thought of it now, makes most of us lose our appetites. (Sorry, Mom! We still love and appreciate you.) Several years ago, a coworker shared her recipe with me, and I've made a few changes to it and fed it to my family dozens of times since. It might turn out that some day my kids will feel the same and joke about it, but in the meantime, I'll share it with the world. It's pretty tasty to me, and very convenient since I usually have most of the ingredients on hand.
I'm such a weird adult, I actually love my birthday! It's exciting to have lived for half a century so far and I have so many incredible memories and friends and family surrounding me.
My three sisters came to visit this past weekend and we had a blast celebrating. Our weekend plans included going to an opera, Madama Butterfly, joining two other friends, Carol and Kelly, then being pampered at the luxuriously relaxing Lake House Spa at the Lake Austin Spa, dinner out at one of my favorite places, Hudson's on the Bend, then to a movie at the iPic theatre at the Domain. My friend, Sherrie, also dined with us at Hudson's.
It was the longest time I had ever been separated from Isaac, and Kelly stayed home with him so I could have a nice time. He brought Isaac to me at the restaurant, then took him home after we ate, and met up with us at the movies.

Randomised controlled trial and parallel economic evaluation of conventional ventilatory support versus extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe adult respiratory failure (CESAR)
Giles J. Peek, D. Elbourne, M. Mugford, R. Tiruvoipati, A. Wilson, E. Allen, F. Clemens, R. Firmin, P. Hardy, C. Hibbert, N. Jones, H. Killer, M. Thalanany, A. Truesdale
Objectives: To determine the comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of conventional ventilatory support versus extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe adult respiratory failure. Design: A multicentre, randomised controlled trial with two arms. Setting: The ECMO centre at Glenfield Hospital, Leicester, and approved conventional treatment centres and referring hospitals throughout the UK. Participants: Patients aged 18-65 years with severe, but potentially reversible, respiratory failure, defined as a Murray lung injury score ≥ 3.0, or uncompensated hypercapnoea with a pH < 7.20 despite optimal conventional treatment. Interventions: Participants were randomised to conventional management (CM) or to consideration of ECMO. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome measure was death or severe disability at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included a range of hospital indices: duration of ventilation, use of high frequency/oscillation/jet ventilation, use of nitric oxide, prone positioning, use of steroids, length of intensive care unit stay, and length of hospital stay - and (for ECMO patients only) mode (venovenous/veno-arterial), duration of ECMO, blood flow and sweep flow. Results: A total of 180 patients (90 in each arm) were randomised from 68 centres. Three patients in the conventional arm did not give permission to be followed up. Of the 90 patients randomised to the ECMO arm, 68 received that treatment. ECMO was not given to three patients who died prior to transfer, two who died in transit, 16 who improved with conventional treatment given by the ECMO team and one who required amputation and could not therefore be heparinised. Ninety patients entered the CM (control) arm, three patients later withdrew and refused followup (meaning that they were alive), leaving 87 patients for whom primary outcome measures were available. CM consisted of any treatment deemed appropriate by the patient's intensivist with the exception of extracorporeal gas exchange. No CM patients received ECMO, although one received a form of experimental extracorporeal arteriovenous carbon dioxide removal support (a clear protocol violation). Fewer patients in the ECMO arm than in the CM arm had died or were severely disabled 6 months after randomisation, [33/90 (36.7%) versus 46/87 (52.9%) respectively]. This equated to one extra survivor for every six patients treated. Only one patient (in the CM arm) was known to be severely disabled at 6 months. Patients allocated to ECMO incurred average total costs of £73,979 compared with £33,435 for those undergoing CM (UK prices, 2005). A lifetime model predicted the cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) of ECMO to be £19,252 (95% confidence interval £7622 to £59,200) at a discount rate of 3.5%. Lifetime QALYs gained were10.75 for the ECMO group compared with 7.31 for the conventional group. Costs to patients and their relatives, including out of pocket and time costs, were higher for patients allocated to ECMO. Conclusions: Compared with CM, transferring adult patients with severe but potentially reversible respiratory failure to a single centre specialising in the treatment of severe respiratory failure for consideration of ECMO significantly increased survival without severe disability. Use of ECMO in this way is likely to be costeffective when compared with other technologies currently competing for health resources. Trial registration: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN47279827.

'HGTV Design Star' Winner David Bromstad Yet to Get His Partner or He is Already Married?
Published Tue May 28 2019 By Hunk
David Bromstad, born on August 17, 1973, rose to fame after winning "HGTV Design Star," in 2006. He is a designer and a TV personality. Started his career as an illustrator for the Disney group. Fashion enthusiasts praise his blog all around the world.
In one of his interviews with South Florida gay news, he slightly opened about his love life. David said that he has been dating his gay boyfriend, Jeffrey Glasko, for eight years in an interview in 2012.
David Bromstad and Jeffrey Glasko Had a Bittersweet Relationship
David, a famous interior designer, opened out to the world that he is gay and he had dated his BFF Jeffrey Glasko. According to David, they met at a bar at Firestone in Orlando on Valentine's Day at a Single's Party.
CAPTION: David Bromstad kissing his ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Glasko
David also said that he had a crush on Jeffrey for years but was never formally introduced to Jeffrey. It was in the bar at Firestone in Orlando, on valentine's day single party, where they met and started a new romance.
After eight years of their relationship, the couple had a nasty breakup in 2015. As per his boyfriend Jeffrey, the cause of their breakup was as a result of David's drugs and a drinking problem.
Jeffrey sued David, claiming that he had left him financially and emotionally unstable. However, he lost the case, and all charges against David were dismissed. Jeffrey again made the case and asked for compensation, but the judge again did not entertain the claim. David's lawyer at that time said:
"These salacious claims were made by a desperate person."
Does David Bromstad Have a New Boyfriend?
David, who has a net worth of $2 million, seems to have found his new boyfriend around 2016 who looks quite sexy and handsome. He titled him as his "best BF ever" in an Instagram post which hinted that he might be his new boyfriend.
CAPTION: David Bromstad with his new best BF.
In this Instagram post, Bromstad explains that his boyfriend surprised him with balloons and an amazing dinner. They look fabulous together. Bromstad's boyfriend is also muscular, which might be an indication that they loved working out together in the gym.
Is David Bromstad Married?
David, who got his first tattoo of a dragonfly, is not married as of now. He has expressed that he is currently more focused on his career and has not made any plans regarding the marriage.
Though his name is linked with many guys, he has not confirmed to any of that. After his breakup with Jeffrey Glasko, he has not opened about his love relationship except for once in 2016. He posted a photo on Instagram quoting "Best BF" but it is a post from 3 years ago with no conformity.
David life isn't so lonely even without any partners, as he has two adorable pet dogs, miss lady Godiva Bondon and Dozer Bubbas to provide him company.

Q: Create dynamically multiple subdirectory into folder using multiple input type textboxes in For Loop? i need help to solve how to create dynamically multiple folders using input type textbox?
i can create only single dynamically subdirectory into the folder but i want to multiple subfolder when multiple input type textbox are display?
problem is that i can create only one subdirectory into the folder at time using input type textboxes
i have already create multiple textbox using javascript?
Php Code
//creating a folder
$folder = implode($_POST['folder']);

for($i=0; $i<$folder; $i++)
{

$dirPath = 'uploads/'.$folder.[$i];
$result = mkdir($dirPath);

}

Javascript

Form
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

<input type="text"  name="folder[]" id="folder_0" />

//dynamically creating textbox into table row

<input type="button" n="addnewitem" id="addnewitem"
value="Add New Question" onClick="changeIt()"/>

</form>

For Example
input type value is test1 ... uploads/subdirectory = test1
input type value is test2 ... uploads/subdirectory = test2
input type value is test3 ... uploads/subdirectory = test3

A: You can try this,
            if(isset($_POST)){

                    $folders = $_POST['folder'];

Who is this article for?
This article is for anyone who is interested in property prices in Sussex. If you are a first time buyer, a buy-to-letter, or just simply curious, you should find some helpful information below. The article is in two parts. Firstly there is a table showing the cheapest available properties by Sussex town or village. These have been bracketed according to the typical value of the most basic 3 bedroom house.The second part is an alphabetical list of most of the main towns and larger villages in Sussex, giving a little bit of information about general desirability, including some information about rail links into London. Since this list was originally compiled, there has been considerable upward movement in some of the cheapest areas. Sussex is a county of wide variation, but as a general rule of thumb, the towns based along the London to Brighton rail link are among the more expensive, whilst the coastal towns to the far East and far West of the county tend to be among the cheapest. The list was updated in January 2019.

Arundel Castle from Warningcamp. Courtesy of WikiCommons | Source
Beautiful Arundel nestles in the shadow of an ancient, walled castle, home to the Duke of Norfolk. It is very much a tourist destination, and, as a result, the shops tend to be mainly full of antiques, and twee nicknacks rather than useful, day-to-day items. The nearest big supermarkets are out of town, although there are a few small shops selling delicatessen and bakery items, and there are a couple of grocery stores selling a range of essentials in the town centre. The town is incredibly hilly, and some of the steeper roads would be unsuitable for anyone with mobility problems. On-street parking is limited, and consequently there is quite a premium to be paid for properties with garages and drives. The town is host to one of the best annual arts festivals in Sussex, which is held in late August.
Property-wise, the town centre consists of mostly high-priced, older-style houses, although there are a few small, modern developments close to the river, which seem to sell at lower prices than the more traditional homes. Just outside of the town centre, but still within walking distance, there is an estate of mainly 1950s/1960s style houses, where the occasional bargain can still be found. On the day I researched this article on Rightmove, there were just two, three bedroom, terraced houses, situated on the out of town estate priced around £375,000, and a few town centre homes at upwards of £425,000 (January 2019). However, the majority of property in the town is far more expensive.
A direct train into London Victoria has a journey time of approximately one hour and thirty minutes from Arundel.
Genteel Bexhill, home to the famous De La Warr Pavilion, is a peaceful, seaside town, situated in East Sussex, on the coastal strip between Eastbourne and Hastings. In Bexhill there is no shortage of property on offer, possibly because the prices for a basic 3 bedroom house fall very comfortably in the Chancellor's lowest, two stamp duty brackets. Yes, incredibly for Sussex, properties in this seaside location are comparable with many Northern towns. The lowest priced 3 bedroom house I found on Rightmove (January 2019) was £190,000, and there were a couple more priced under £215,000. Three years ago, when I first researched this article, you could still find family homes for around £130,000, but it seems that house-buyers have caught on to the cheap prices in Bexhill, and house price inflation in the town appears to have escalated very rapidly. That said, just like other towns in Sussex, Bexhill is seeing price reductions on properties that have been hanging around a while. With Brexit in the mix, we could yet see further falls, and perhaps some keener pricing on new listings.
A direct line train into London Victoria takes just short of two hours to travel from Bexhill.
Billingshurst is a large Sussex village just eight miles south-west of Horsham. Popular with well-heeled commuters, it has good schools through to sixth form, and local leisure facilities include a swimming pool and gym. There is a railway station which lies on the London-Chichester line. A direct line train into London Victoria takes around one hour and ten minutes. Property here is quite pricey, and you are unlikely to find a 3 bedroom house in sound condition at much less than £300,000 at present. (January 2019), but realistically, allow at least £350,000 to guarantee a shot at a house in this popular location.
Bognor Regis is a well-known seaside town with historic links to royalty. It enjoys lovely beaches, and there is quite a holiday air about it. Billy Butlins built one of his famous holiday camps here in the 1960s, and the site still remains a holiday destination with day-passes on sale for trippers eager to use the excellent themed, water park facilities. Bognor is on a mainline rail route, and visitors to and from the capital can make the journey into London Victoria in around one and three quarter hours.
Bognor has a selection of schools through to sixth form, and a wide selection of local shops offering everything from tattoos to fishing tackle. Price-wise, the town is considerably cheaper than nearby Chichester. A basic 3 bedroom house can now be bought for a little less than £230,000, thanks in part, to price reductions on older listings. The exponential rise in property prices in this popular seaside location appears to be reversing slightly as we head into 2019.
Brighton, and its conjoined twin, Hove, are great places for commuters, as Brighton Station is a mainline train terminal, so you're pretty much guaranteed a seat on trains to London early in the morning. The journey to London Victoria or London Bridge takes around an hour. Brighton is also a vibrant, historic city by the sea with much to recommend it in terms of night-life, culture, shopping, and eating out. A number of top-rated public schools are situated in, or nearby, and there's also a choice of Universities. That's the good news.
The bad news is that Brighton is an expensive place to buy a house. Even the less favoured areas such as Whitehawk, Bevendean, Woodingdean, and Moulscomb, have been creeping up the charts in terms of cost recently. In January 2019, the search revealed a few three bedroom houses on the outskirts of Hove priced between £280,000 and £300,000. Other available properties in the low range are typically higher than this figure. This represents an increase of around £50,000 for the lowest priced three bedroom properties in the last four years. However, prices have definitely stabilised, and some older listings are now seeing reductions.

Firmly in the Sussex commuter belt, Burgess Hill is a sprawling mix of old and new housing stock. The town has a reasonable shopping centre with a good selection of day-to-day stores including several supermarkets. It is well-served for sports and leisure facilities, including the excellent Triangle swimming pool, and has good local schools through to sixth form. Situated on the Brighton - London mainline rail link, and with a journey time of less than an hour into the capital, the town is popular with those who travel to London for work. It is also blessed with a large factory estate on the edge of the town centre, which provides many of the local employment opportunities.
Burgess Hill has a small number of 3 bedroom houses available in the £280,000 to £300,000 range, but realistically, you may need to pay more than this to secure a home here.
Historic Chichester has been a thriving settlement since Roman times. If you love the feel of ancient places, Chichester may be just what you're looking for. The walled town centre offers a range of properties, some relatively new, and some very ,very old. The pedestrianized shopping streets form a cross with the original Market Cross acting as a landmark in the centre. The Cathedral is close by, and is well worth a visit, as it is cram packed with art and artefacts, including stained glass windows designed by Marc Chagall. Chichester is a bustling, lively city with excellent shopping, leisure, and educational facilities, including the Festival Theatre, and Chichester University.
My property search (January 2019) turned up a small number of 3 bedroom properties in the £250,000 to £280,000 range, but you will have a much wider choice if you can raise £300,000 plus. The train commute from Chichester into London takes around one and three quarter hours. Portsmouth and Southampton are both considerably nearer, and rail commuters might find those bustling Hampshire cities far more convenient.
Crawley's infrastructure has improved considerably since its early days as a new town, built to accommodate young families leaving bomb-scarred London in the years immediately following World War 2. The town has a lively, cosmopolitan population, and is well-served by transport links, schools, colleges, and leisure facilities. The Mall in the town centre is crammed with High Street names, and there's even an original, historic High Street where 'old Crawley' can still be glimpsed. The town is divided into village-style estates, each with its own local shopping parade. As modern-day Crawley was created by the New Town's Commission, the majority of the housing stock was built in the 1950s and 1960s, and would originally have been rented. Many of these properties were snapped up in the 70s and 80s under the 'Right to Buy' scheme, and this has resulted in a legacy of moderately priced homes. The outlying areas of Bewbush and Broadfields were developed by the town council in the 1970s and 1980s, and the Maidenbower estate has grown up in the last twenty years. Considering all that Crawley has to offer, house prices are incredibly reasonable for a Sussex town.
Perhaps the number one reason for choosing Crawley is it's excellent employment opportunities. There is a large Industrial Estate at Manor Royal, where many household names have their factories and warehouses, and in addition, Gatwick Airport is only a few miles away. With houses regularly being offered at under £260,000, it is no wonder the town is so popular with first-time buyers and buy-to-letters.
The rail commute into London (Victoria or London Bridge) takes under an hour.
Crowborough is situated in the Weald of Sussex, and is only 7 miles South-West of Royal Tunbridge Wells. It is one of the largest towns by population, in East Sussex, and has a full range of schools, plus good rail and road links. The town also benefits from a small cottage hospital with a midwife-led maternity unit.
Crowborough is one of the county's highest locations, and at its loftiest point, is 242 metres above sea level, so well worth considering if you are concerned about rising sea levels!
With regard to property prices, 3 bedroom houses can be bought from approximately £265,000.
The rail journey into London Bridge takes just over an hour on a direct line.
Cuckfield
This chocolate box village has little to offer an average first-time buyer in terms of affordable property. Very occasionally you might be lucky enough to find a small, terraced 3 bedroom property for sale in Cuckfield under £400,000. Still you might want to consider the old saying 'better the cheapest house in the best road, than the best house in the cheapest road'. Cuckfield is a very lovely place to live, even if it comes at a price! There is no rail link in Cuckfield, however, it is on the Brighton to Crawley Metrobus route, which has services throughout the day. The nearest railway station to Cuckfield is just a few miles away at Haywards Heath.
With prices similar to nearby Bexhill and Hastings, Eastbourne still offers excellent value, and on the day the prices were researched, there were several houses around £200,000, and quite a cluster just above that figure. Yes, you will have to pay stamp duty at these prices, but at least it's only 2%!
Eastbourne has its own hospital, with a maternity unit. There are excellent schools, plus sports and leisure facilities, a wonderful art gallery and theatre, and a well-developed shopping centre with many big High Street names represented, plus of course, it's on the sea-side!
Trains from Eastbourne into London have a journey time of around one hour and forty minutes.
On the edge of the Ashdown Forest, yet only a few miles from Crawley and Gatwick, East Grinstead is ideally placed for both commuters and nature lovers. The town has a useful, fairly compact shopping centre, plus good schools and leisure facilities. Prices here are not as competitive as in Crawley, but the housing stock is slightly more appealing. A budget of upwards of £295,000 should comfortably buy you a 3 bedroom home (January 2019), quite a jump from four years ago when there were still plenty of homes available for around £40,000 less than this figure.
Direct line trains into London Victoria take under an hour from East Grinstead.
Haywards Heath is in Mid-Sussex, approximately half-way between Brighton and Gatwick. Surrouned by beautiful countryside, the town lies on the main London to Brighton rail link, and with trains taking less than an hour into central London, the town is consequently popular with commuters. Haywards Heath has a full range of local schools, including a Further Education College. The main shopping centre offers a selection of stores catering for most basic needs.
Property-wise, Haywards Heath offers a good range of 3 bedroom houses from £325,000 upwards.
The site of Hailsham has been inhabited since at least Neolithic times. Situated in the Weald of Sussex, the town has a historic centre with some interesting, older-style buildings. There are several primary schools locally, plus a secondary school, as well as a reasonable range of local shops. Additional schools, shops, and leisure facilities, plus a large hospital with A&E and maternity departments, can be found at nearby Eastbourne, just 9 miles to the North. The nearest railway station is seven miles away, at Polegate
Houses in Hailsham are reasonably priced for Sussex, and a 3 bedroom house may be bought from around £245,000, with the odd bargain slipping in a little below that (January 2019).
Hassocks and Keymer
Two delightful, adjoining Sussex villages with a Brighton to London mainline railway station at their heart. Commuter heaven! The day I searched on RightMove, the cheapest available 3 bedroom house was priced at £326,950 followed by a big jump up to the next one at £365,000. (January 2019) Trains from this quiet Sussex location take around an hour into central London.
Hassocks and Keymer have schools through to senior level, but no sixth form facility at present. Older children can travel into Brighton or Haywards Heath to study.The villages have a comprehensive shopping centre with a range of everyday village shops, plus a few restaurants and cafes (Hassocks) witha smaller, more basic parade of shops in Keymer.
Hastings is a very historic coastal town in the east of the county, near to the Kent border. Famed for its connection to the Norman Invasion in 1066, there are numerous old and interesting buildings dotted about, including the old ruins of Hastings castle standing on high ground above the town. Hastings has been a holiday destination for several centuries, although these days the town is a little faded, and perhaps not quite so sought after as in its heyday. Properties here are probably amongst the cheapest in Sussex, and there are a limited number of 3 bedroom houses available under £195,000.
Hastings has a good selection of schools through to sixth form, as well as a further education college, and a Sussex University Campus providing higher education for around 800 students. Hastings has a railway station, and lies on the coastal mainline route,
Three bedroom homes in lovely Heathfield start at around £245,000. Situated in the East of the county, close to the Kent border, this delightful country town has an old-fashioned air about it. The tight-knit local community have a whole range of clubs, societies and activities to join and be part of, including a very popular silver band. The town has a useful range of everyday shops on the High Street including a Sainsbury's supermarket, and schools through to sixth form, which serve a large, extended rural population. There is no longer a railway station at Heathfield, but the old railway route that passes through the town, is now part of a long distance walking and cycling path known as The Cuckoo Trail.
Henfield is an attractive Downland village with an old-fashioned High Street and it's own village green. On the day I researched Henfield, there were a few 3 bedroom houses available a little under £350,000, but the prices soon climbed sharply upwards. This is probably not your typical first time buyer's territory! There is no longer a railway station at Henfield, but there are a number of busy rural industrial estates close at hand, offering reasonable employment opportunities. Shoreham-by-Sea is around nine miles south of Henfield, and has direct line rail links into London, Brighton and Portsmouth.
Horsham is in West Sussex, and is a thriving market town with a bustling town centre, lined with many stores from the major chains. The town has excellent shopping and leisure facilities. The local swimming pool is a recent development, and includes flumes and slides. There are good local schools, and the town is close to Gatwick, and other transport links. It also has a railway station.
Price-wise, property in Horsham is a little more expensive than in neighbouring Crawley. On the day this article was researched on RightMove, there were very few three bedroom properties available with guide prices of £310,000 or less, but quite a cluster in the £325,000 to £350,000 range. House price inflation seems to have cooled off a little in Horsham, with prices nudging downwards, and a number of price reductions appearing on older listings.
Horsham has a direct rail link into London, The commute takes around an hour.
Hurstpierpoint
Beautiful Hurstpierpoint. This is another aspirational, delight of a village, only a few miles north of Brighton, and just along the road from Burgess Hill. Please don't even look unless you have more than £430,000 in your budget. The high street at Hurstpierpoint is a gem, and it's worth a visit even if you can't afford to live here. Have a cuppa in one of the cute little tea rooms, and admire the quaint local architecture. If you can afford to live here, it's worth noting that the nearest train station is only a couple of miles away, at neighbouring Hassocks.
Take aside a few tatty properties on the seafront road, parts of Lancing are actually very pleasant. There is a neat little shingle beach which is sandy at low tide. There's a good, basic local parade of shops where all essentials can be bought, and Lancing has its own sports and leisure centre, and a range of schools. Lancing is sandwiched between picturesque Shoreham-by-Sea to the East, and popular seaside town of Worthing to the West, so there's plenty of additional facilities just a bus or train-ride away. Worthing has a modern hospital with maternity and A&E, and is only a couple of miles from the centre of Lancing. The local comprehensive recently became an 'Academy', and the word is that standards have already improved as a result. House prices in Lancing are surprisingly modest considering the high values achieved in neighbouring Shoreham-by-Sea. Budget for a minimum of £270,000, and you should be in with a chance of acquiring a property in this under-rated seaside town.
Lewes is a gem of a town. Dominated by the ruins of a historic castle, and cut through by the murky, green-grey waters of the River Ouse, Lewes is a delight for shoppers and tourists alike. Town centre property tends to be older-style, with some positively ancient dwellings standing side-by-side with newer, 18th, and 19th century buildings. Further from the town centre, there are a number of more modern estates, although many of these are now more than 50 years old!
The town has an excellent range of schools, as well as its own Further Education college. There is a sports centre, and two swimming pools, one of which is outdoor. The local hospital does NOT offer maternity or A&E. Locals have to travel 7 miles to Brighton to access these services.
Lewes has a wonderful range of individual shops, but few High Street names, other than Costa, Boots, Laura Ashley, Argos, New Look, and M&Co. There is, however, a Waitrose, a Tesco, and an Aldi for food shopping. With regard to house prices, the town is notoriously expensive. All that chintzy, chocolate-box quaintness comes at a price, and a basic 3 bedroom house on one of the more modern estates, away from the town centre is likely to cost at least £340,000 (January 2019). The pretty, quirky properties on and around the High Street, and in historic Southover, will cost considerably more, unless you manage to track down a teeny weeny quirky terrace property in the town centre.
Lewes is famous for its annual bonfire celebrations which attracts visitors from far and wide. The rail commute from Lewes into London Victoria takes around one hour and fifteen minutes.
Affectionately known as 'LA' by many local Sussex folk, Littlehampton is a popular seaside town with a wide, sandy beach, and excellent leisure facilities catering for the many day-trippers and holiday makers who visit. Littlehampton lies between Worthing to the East, and Chichester to the West, but house prices here are a wee bit cheaper than in neighbouring towns. With a good range of local schools, reasonable transport links, and a typical range of small-town shops in the centre, you might expect the town to be more expensive, but for some reason Littlehampton remains reasonably affordable compared to much of the rest of Sussex. In January 2019, there were a good sprinkling of family sized homes available around £235,000.
Direct line trains into Lodon take around one hour and three quarters from Littlehampton.
Midhurst is a West Sussex market town sited on the River Rother. The Midhurst Medieval Festival is held each year, in early May, and includes re-enactments, and demonstrations of traditional crafts, have-a-go archery, medieval music, and so on. The town has a vibrant community with many clubs and activities available to residents. There are a number of schools locally including a senior school with provision through to sixth form.
Although the High Street is quite quaint with a number of attractive historic buildings, more recent developments outside of this area account for some of the cheaper houses available. In January 2019 there were a number of 3 bedroom houses for sale priced between £280,000 and £320,000.
Midhurst has no railway links, but is convenient for both the A272 and the A286.
Newhaven is a port on the coast of East Sussex, approximately ten miles East of Brighton. It's not the prettiest town, and house prices reflect its relative lack of charm. A 3 bedroom house can still be bought from around £230,000. On the plus side, Newhaven is quite industrialized and there are plenty of job opportunities locally, especially in and around the port itself. There is also a useful cross-channel ferry crossing direct from the harbour. Perfect for those days when you wake up and fancy a day-trip to Dieppe!
Lying on the chalky cliffs of the coastal strip between Brighton and Newhaven, Peacehaven is a town in the Lewes district of East Sussex. Its site coincides with the point where the Greenwich meridian crosses the English south coast, and there is a roadside obelisk to mark the line. The town was established in 1916 by an entrepreneur named Charles Neville, who came up with the idea of selling the land off in plots for individuals to develop as they wished. He advertised the land in the Daily Express, and publicised the development by offering a free plot to the person who came up with the best name for the new town. Ethel Radford from Leicestershire chose the name Peacehaven, and so the town received its name.
Modern day Peacehaven is built on a grid system of roads and avenues. Many of the properties are bungalows, or chalet bungalows. There are schools through to secondary level, reasonable local shops, and a leisure centre. The town is not on a rail route, but regular buses travel regularly to the city of Brighton, which lies on the coast 9 miles to the West. Basic 3 bedroom family homes start at around £270,000.
The most basic 3 bedroom houses can be bought from around £325,000 in the lovely old town of Petworth. The town's chief claim to fame is Petworth House, a wonderful stately home and National Trust property, with connections to the famous 19th century artist, Joseph Turner.
Polegate has a railway station, and lies on the outskirts of Eastbourne, so it's not too far to the sea and the South Downs. It's a quiet little town with basic shopping facilities, but there are good schools, and leisure facilities just a short bus or train journey away. Property prices here are higher than in the towns further East, but you can still acquire a 3 bedroom house for a little less than £250,000 (January 2019).
Rottingdean
Rottingdean is a quaint, seaside village with a fascinating, literary and artistic history. Once the home of both Rudyard Kipling, and Edward Coley Burne-Jones, this old-fashioned village is popular with day-trippers, and there are plenty of the obligatory tea-rooms and gift galleries in evidence. Price-wise, you are unlikely to find even the most basic 3 bedroom house for much less than £350,000, but realistically a budget of £525,000 plus might be needed to secure a family sized home here.
Around £265,000 should be enough to buy you a 3 bedroom house in this attractive West Sussex village. Rustington shares Angmering railway station with Angmering and East Preston, making it a good place to live for commuters to Brighton in the East, and Portsmouth in the West. Trains into London Victoria take around an hour and a half from here on a direct line.
Once almost entirely surrounded by the sea, the little town of Rye, one of the famous Cinque Ports, now stands two miles inland. It is a pretty and historic town with some charming streets at its heart. There is a limited range of local schools and leisure facilities, and local shops tend to be mostly geared towards the tourist trade. Property-wise, a 3 bedroom family house may be bought from around £280,000 upwards, with an occasional bargain creeping in a little below that.
Saltdean sprawls alongside the main coastal route from Brighton to Eastbourne, and has more than its fair share of retirement bungalows in the mix. Travelling along the coast road, the main thing that catches a traveller's eye in Saltdean, is the wonderful Art Deco Lido with it's open air swimming pool. Saltdean lies mid-way between Brighton to the West, and Newhaven to the East. It is a comparatively recent settlement, and has no real historic heart, but it is popular as a dormitory town for the larger towns either side of it. Three bedroom houses here begin at around £350,000 (January 2019).
A 3 bedroom house can be bought in this seaside town from around £265,000 (January 2019). Seaford lies between Newhaven to the West, and Eastbourne a few miles East. It is a quiet, little non-descript town on the main coastal railway line. In the Middle Ages, the town was one of Britain's major ports, but there was a considerable decline in fortunes as the harbour gradually silted up, and raids from French pirates became more frequent. Between 1350 and 1550, the French burned the settlement down several times.
The town has a reasonable shopping centre covering most basic requirements, plus schools and sports and leisure facilities. The nearest local hospitals are in Brighton and Eastbourne, both offering A&E, and maternity.
Shoreham-by-Sea is a town of many parts. There is the charming, river-side town centre with its ancient parish church, and streets of old-fashioned fisherman's cottages. There is the long stretch of land on the far side of the River Adur which backs on to the sea, and is known as Shoreham Beach, then finally, there are the sprawling developments, mostly fairly modern, to the North and East which creep up to the very edge of the South Downs.
Shoreham is a very popular commuter town because of its mainline rail station. It also has good schools, including a local comprehensive which was recently rated outstanding by Ofsted. There is a sports and leisure centre in nearby Southwick, and,as well as a useful mix of basic shops in the town centre, there is an out of town shopping development with a Next, a Tescos, and a Marks & Spencers. Proximity to both Worthing in the West and Brighton in the East, pretty much guarantees a good choice of venues for eating out, theatre, and other nightlife.
Price-wise, Shoreham-by-Sea is a little dearer than its next-door-neighbours, Southwick and Lancing, and both town centre properties and beach-side properties can be quite expensive. Three bedroom houses priced below £300,000 are very rarely available, although with the current run of price reductions on older listings, things may be about to change.
Southwick lies in the middle of the Brighton to Worthing coastal connurbation. The seafront here is dominated by Shoreham harbour, which despite its name, actually abuts the whole of Southwick, and stretches right down through Portslade and into Hove going East. The good news for Southwick folk however, is that there is a fine stretch of useable shingle beach on the far side of the harbour, which is sandy at low tide. This is accessed over the lock gates that control the port's water levels. Alongside the beach with its obligatory row of beach huts, lies an extremely popular cafe/restaurant known as Carats Cafe. The full English breakfast comes highly recommended.
Southwick has a long and venerable history, and the southern part of the town incorporates its own village green, overlooked by some of the oldest properties on this stretch of the coastline. These include King Charles cottage, where Charles ll is said to have taken refuge before boarding a ship named 'the Surprise' anchored in Shoreham Harbour.
Southwick has three all-through primary schools, and senior school provision is close-by in either Portslade or Shoreham-by-Sea; the two towns are immediately adjacent. Southwick has a useful parade of local shops catering for everyday needs, and excellent transport links including its own railway station. 3 bedroom homes start at around £325,000.
Picture perfect Steyning lies a few miles inland from Shoreham-by-Sea, and has good local schools, a range of local shops, mostly small traders, and is surrounded by the South Downs. This pretty little village is expensive but appealing. A basic 3 bedroom house is likely to cost between £345,000 and £385,000, assuming that you're lucky enough to find one for sale. No longer on a train route, Steyning enjoys a network of good local buses to and from the surrounding towns and villages, and there is an excellent cycle path along the route of the old railway line, which runs from Shoreham-by-Sea to Guildford. The nearest mainline rail service is at Shoreham-by-Sea.
On the day I researched Uckfield on RightMove, there were several properties listed at a little below £275,000, and a number of slightly higher priced 3 bedroom houses in the town, with recent price reductions As with all these things, prices are changing daily, and it is important to do your own research, but it does appear that the tide is slowly turning on house values in this area.
Uckfield is a town in the Wealden district of East Sussex, and it has seen a lot of development in recent years. House-buyers should beware of the flood risk in this town, as it has been affected on a number of occasions. Uckfield is on a railway line, and has a good selection of local schools. There is a reasonable range of shops in the town centre
A direct train journey into London Bridge takes approximately one hour and twenty minutes from Uckfield.
The small, market town of Wadhurst lies on the East Sussex side of the Kent-Sussex border. It has a good range of local shops, mostly small traders, a choice of local primary schools, plus a local comprehensive with its own sixth form. The town has grown up around an ancient settlement, and there are a number of notable old buildings in and around Wadhurst. Lower end family homes rarely come on the market in this area. Budget for a minimum of £325,000, but expect to pay more.
Commuters will be pleased to note that the journey into London Charing Cross takes a little over an hour on a direct route from Wadhurst.
Worthing is a popular seaside resort in West Sussex. The shingle beach gives way to sand at low tide, and there is a short, neat pier, with a theatre and restaurant at the shore end. The town has good schools, an excellent Further Education college, a comprehensive, pedestrianized shopping centre, sports and leisure facilities, and a good, local hospital with maternity and A&E services.
Price-wise, Worthing is generally cheaper than Brighton, which lies about 14 miles to the East. On the day I researched Worthing, I found several 3 bedroom houses priced in the region of £250,000.

Kjølv Egeland. writes about why it is possible that Britain will need to change its ideas about nuclear weapons.
'Will Trident take away money needed for the army or the National Health Service?' 'Will we get enough for our money?' And: 'Aren't four submarines too many?' These were questions in the talks in Westminster about Britain's renewal of the Trident nuclear submarines in the summer. Westminster did not allow questions about whether nuclear violence is OK.
What about Britain's international commitments? or Why does Britain need nuclear weapons when Egypt, Finland, Indonesia, and Liechtenstein do not? There was not much time to talk about these questions.
Britain has a right to have nuclear weapons, at least for a time. It says other co8ntries do not have this right and it will not give up the right for itself. But there is a legal obligation for the UK to give up nuclear weapons. British governments have ignored this legal obligation. And there are strong protests from countries with no nuclear weapons and from civil society organisations.
In 1968, the British Parliament agreed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). NPT says that countries without nuclear weapons must not have them. It also says that all of the countries who agreed the Treaty will have talks about ways to stop the nuclear arms race and nuclear arms soon. The International Court of Justice is the world's highest authority on international law. In 1996 it said that Britain and the other countries who agreed the Treaty must have talks to end nuclear weapons with strict international control.
Britain says no to these obligations and says that is OK because all the other countries with nuclear weapons are just as bad. Of course, other countries with no nuclear weapons are not happy about Britain saying no to these obligations.
The Republic of the Marshall Islands is a country that suffered from nuclear testing. In 2014 it sued the UK because it was not respecting international law. Britain was lucky because the court dismissed the case.
In the summer of 2016, Prime Minister Theresa May said giving up Britain's nuclear weapons would be a big risk that Britain must never take. But to countries around the world – in Bamako, Belgrade, Brasília, and Buenos Aires – her ideas must seem very strange. For most governments around the world cannot accept nuclear violence and the threat of nuclear violence.
In The Psychology of Nuclear Proliferation, Jacques Hymans says that the leaders of countries with nuclear arms see their nations as in some way "better" than their possible enemies. This is true of imperial Britain with the British bomb in the second half of the 1940s. A few decades before, at the talks at the Hague Convention, the British said more powerful weapons were necessary to stop 'savage races'. The idea that Britain has the right to have nuclear weapons is now part of its culture. The two other countries in Europe with nuclear weapons are France and Russia. Like Britain they were both empires.
Britain doesn't have an empire now but the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty shows that the idea of empire is not dead.
The NPT clearly says Britain and the other countries with nuclear weapons must disarm, but it doesn't really say no to nuclear weapons. That is, it says no to nuclear weapons except for the five countries with nuclear weapons, who are also the permanent members of the UN Security Council: USA, UK, France, Russia and China. And they are committed to disarm. This situation allowed former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair to say that the NPT 'makes it very clear that Britain has the right to have nuclear weapons' and that 'it is clear that the major nuclear powers can remain nuclear powers'.
The NPT was agreed in the mid1960s, before decolonisation was complete and when most of the new countries in the Global South were not yet very strong at international talks. The NPT has the idea that some countries are 'more equal' than others.
Having nuclear weapons is like imperialism. It controls the lives and property of distant people. But it does not ask the people for their agreement. Nuclear war does not just involve an attacker and a defender. All other countries in the world would suffer from a nuclear war.
For the first time, in 2016. countries mostly from the Global South but some from Europe, put forward at the UN a plan to start talks on a new legal agreement to stop all nuclear weapons.
The treaty would make nuclear weapons illegal for all countries. None of the countries with nuclear weapons are likely to take part. And it is likely that only the countries without nuclear weapons will sign the treaty at first.
So far Britain has spoken strongly against the idea.
But the plan to stop nuclear weapons is important. It shows that there is pressure against inequality in international society.

Why are there no stray animals in Germany?
This is not because the Germans are so kind that they don't throw annoying pets on the street. And not because the streets are so clean that they have nothing to live in cities.
A pet is a responsibility and the owners understand it. If someone wants to have a four-legged friend, he must pay a tax every year (150 euros for the first dog, 300 for the second). Separate breeds of dangerous dogs generally can not be kept as pets. For others, taxes are 650 euros and you are obliged to buy expensive insurance. Expelling animals to the street is a cruel treatment of them. For such a violation, the perpetrator faces a fine (25-30 thousand euros) or even imprisonment.
Given all the facts, we can assume that no one will start a four-legged friend to put him outside the door when he gets bored.
Germany is the first country to introduce animal protection into the constitution.
In the country are actively operating animal protection organizations. "Animal Rights" is a separate branch of law.
The main reason why the Germans break up with their pets is to move. In many homes it is forbidden to keep pets. This is always mentioned in the rental contract and this means that they cannot be maintained at all, because the guilty party will definitely know about this and will be held responsible for sure.
Those who are interested in acquiring new experience in one of the German-speaking countries will definitely be interested in our weekly selection of volunteer programs.
If you can not contain, the animal must be voluntarily surrendered to a shelter, and not left at the station. Didn't a faithful friend deserve to be settled in a cushy job? Well, or should do it in order to save 25 000 euro fine, which the owner will pay for the discarded pet. And it will be found in any case, because all of them must be marked by law (collar, tattoo, or microchip in the ear). Protection services will learn about the ill-treatment of complaints from third parties who are strongly encouraged. Departures on a place with checks occur constantly.
All animals unaccompanied by the owner are caught and sent to shelters where they are sterilized.
This is the most popular method of population control.
A modern orphanage is at the same time a club of dog / cat lovers, schools for dogs, veterinary clinics, pet therapy, a pet hotel, a pet shop, a zoo, etc. Such institutions are financed from the state budget and at the expense of voluntary donations.
Germany is one of the countries where animals are put to sleep if there is no owner. It is believed that a quiet death in a shelter is better – than a quick painful death on the street.
Remember that pets are a responsibility. In Germany, this is especially felt.


Model of Bootle St / St Michaels proposal. On the right: Architect Stephen Hodder MBE chatting with a member of the public.
In 2016, plans for the Bootle Street site (St Michaels) were unveiled and I was horrified, along with many others. My reactions are in this article.
On Wednesday 12 July 2017, a new vision for the site was presented at Manchester Central Library. Manchester-based Hodder architects have taken over the project and they have started again from scratch. I was relieved and encouraged by what I saw, but I still have some reservations.
The police station façade and pub are to be retained, though the syagogue will be demolished. The interaction with the streets on both sides is much improved and the two dark towers have been replaced with a single glass skyscraper that has been moved further away from the town hall and rotated by ninety degrees.
This change is intended to reduce the impact on the surrounding area, but there is still an impact!
I believe that in Manchester's Victorian inner area, the roofline should be respected and there should be no tall buildings. This is the policy in Paris and Dublin and I believe it is right for the inner part of Manchester city centre, around the town hall.
I accept the arguments against keeping the Reform Synagogue and I understand why its users would prefer to have a new facility. I hope it will be properly documented for the future before it is demolished.
The most encouraging thing for me as a long-time heritage campaigner is that they have listened and responded to peoples' reactions and criticisms. There has been a dialogue and as a result, the plans have been changed. People have had an impact.
The input of Historic England has had a big influence on the project. Their advice has been extensively taken into account.
Manchester Shield are to be commended for their tireless campaigning, which has produced a result.
It's a great feeling to know that the police station façade and the Abercromby will not now be lost. I look forward to seeing how both look as part of a new development.
I see the police station façade as a monument to the work of the police in past decades. To destroy it would have been to blot out their memory.
But the height and dimensions of the tower still give me cause for concern. On the city centre model, it's by far the tallest structure in the central area.
The plans are going to be developed further and there will be another exhibition later in the year. I look forward to seeing it.
But there is one important point I would like to make. Drawings, photographs and models are not adequate to give a realistic impression of how the development will look when completed.
I would like to see the architecture presented as a 3D visualisation. At the next exhibition there should be a computer and a 3D VR headset for use by visitors.
I would like to be able to move around the development and view it from all angles. I'm a fan of virtual reality, we have the HTC Vive system at home. The technology is well developed and has an important use in projects like this one.
At last! Finally! After all these years of documenting Manchester in photos and words, highlighting, writing, campaigning, I have finally gained some recognition!
On Thursday 7 July I found out that I had won second prize in the Manchester Shield Citizen Champion Award. In the number one position was Maxine Peake, Coronation St actress, and in third place, tour guide and writer Jonathan Schofield.
I was very happy to receive this honour from Manchester Shield, a grassroots collection of people who care deeply about the development of our city, and are not afraid to express their views.
In summary what I have done is to use photography to document and showcase the city with the aim of providing a record for the future. By doing this I've also put the spotlight on how the development of the city has gone well in some respects but badly in others.
I have used photography to document and campaign. That's different to most other photographers who use photography to help promote commercial clients, or who focus on newsworthy events or take photos with an eye to winning competitions.
I focus on the city, the skyline, the streets, the transport routes, bridges, canals and everything else you see around you. My photographs are not stock images and most wouldn't win any competitions. They are just my view of the city. As a spinoff, many have been used commercially – most recently a photo of the Victoria Baths in the Observer newspaper. But most are taken just to capture what's there today and might not be there tomorrow. My photos are always accompanied by words, which are often overlooked.
I have experimented with all kinds of photographic genres but the one I'm known for is photographs of the city, Manchester, also Liverpool and other locations.
My photos have been used in the media, including the Manchester Evening News, magazines, publications and many websites. If you go into Waterstones, you'll find several local interest books with my photos on the cover and inside. A lot of people have told me they have followed my work over the years. I'm always pleased to hear those words.
I've been interviewed a number of times on radio and TV. But I've never received any official recognition from the authorities, least of all from Manchester City Council, but that's not surprising, is it?
I'd like to say many thanks to Manchester Shield for nominating me and also to the people who voted for me. I hope to use this impetus to push ahead with some new projects – I'm not sure what – in order to continue to highlight local development, what's gone well and what hasn't gone well, maybe with a stronger and more confident voice than before.
In the pictures are 20 of the buildings / locations I've highlighted over the years. How many more will there be in the years to come?
Stockport Railway Viaduct, captured on Ilford HP5 black and white film around 1987. I developed the film myself and made prints. Later I scanned the negatives and optimised them in Photosohp.
This article appeared in the Manchester Evening News on Friday 12 February 2016. Many movies have been made in the Manchester area but few are set there. Images from films can be a big inspiration for photography. Not many films have been made in Manchester but all of the movies mentioned here have a strong visual impact.
For me, A Taste of Honey (1961) remains my number one locally made movie. It was filmed mostly in Stockport, Manchester and Salford. Hell Is A City (1961) is a racy police thriller that reaches a climax on the roof of the Refuge building, now the Palace Hotel. Alfie (2004) and Captain America (2011) are set in New York but used the Northern Quarter as a location, due to its similarity to Greenwich Village and parts of Brooklyn. The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue (1974) is a cult classic with some great city centre footage. Cliff Twemlow made films in Manchester in the 80s. Read the fascinating book about him by C. P. Lee. 24 Hour Party People is set in 80s Manchester but filmed twenty years later. The Iron Lady and Victor Frankenstein are recent projects but are not set here. That's why after 55 years, 'A Taste of Honey' remains my number one as it's a great story with wonderful characters and celebrates life here in the North. So come on filmmakers, it's time for a modern classic movie to be made and be set around here, and I would like to be the stills photographer!
Part of Manchester's Northern Quarter was turned into New York in September 2003 for the film 'Alfie'.
The Langley Buildings on Dale St have little or no modern additions, making them an ideal setting for a historic film.
Here's my editorial and photo feature on Oldham Road that appeared in the Manchester Evening News on Thursday 7 January, 2016. It was the first article of the year. On Monday 4th, I took the bus to Oldham and then walked from the town centre back down the A62 as far as Failsworth. It was an interesting journey. On foot you notice a lot more than you do in a bus or car. I discovered the Music Rooms in Werneth Park, currently awaiting restoration, and the excellent statue of Ben Brierley next to Failsworth Pole It was created by artist Denise Dutton. There is history all around us, offering hidden stories and glimpses into a local area that felt very different in past times.
The A62 to Oldham is like a barometer of the times. In old photos we see a busy road, with shops, trams, industry and working class homes. Today it's a post-modern mix of regenerated flats, new offices, and housing from the 19th and 20th centuries. Off to the left, Central Park is futuristic with its Metrolink stop and 'seed' sculpture. At the municipal boundary, Oldham Road becomes Manchester Road and soon we see the timeless tableau of St John the Evangelist church, the Royal Oak pub and Failsworth Pole. There's a garden with a statue of the weaver and writer Benjamin Brierley (1825-1896). At Hollinwood we cross the M60 and the land rises. To the right is Werneth Park, where the mid-19th century Music Rooms are to be restored. From here there are magnificent views down onto the plain and over the West Pennine moors. On the top of the hill stands Oldham with its modern Civic Centre. The town centre offers an interesting mix of old and new. There's always something new to discover when you go out and explore. Why not come on one of my photo walks, next date Saturday 13 February, full price £35, MEN readers, £25.

Debates around medical issues should always be sensitive to the individual beliefs and preferences of the parties involved and approached with the knowledge that it's ok to have differing opinions. That being said, you're being an idiot if you don't get your child vaccinated.
That's the most accurate and tactful way to put it. You're not only endangering your own child's health, you're endangering the life of everyone else's. What's worse is that you're doing so based on flawed information.
This isn't about big government telling you what to do. This isn't about what Celebrity X says her Hoboken witch doctor told them to do. This isn't even a conversation. This is about you not being responsible for the preventable deaths of kids.
The amazing thing about the politics surrounding scientific issues is that there's usually a right and wrong answer.
What exactly is "true" in this case is black and white. There is no informed debate. One side is hands-down right. Whether so-called "anti-vaxxers," who baselessly believe that vaccinating their children could lead to autism, accept it or not, there is no link between the two. And it's not for lack of looking.
Study after study has found no link between autism and vaccinations. Indeed, a comprehensive review of more than 14.7 million children in 2012 confirmed that.
So where did the vaccination myth come from? A single 1998 study that has since been retracted.
Furthermore, the total sample size in that study was 12 children, 10 of the 12 original authors have come out against the study, and the leader of the study has lost his medical license. There is no debate. The study was flat-out wrong.
But, somehow science has become a partisan issue, as if it's a belief system to be accepted or rejected depending on your political preference. People on the right reject the scientific consensus that climate change has been influenced by humans. People on the left reject the vast majority of research that says genetically modified organisms (GMOs) won't harm your health.
When asked to cite the cases to which he was referring, his office was unable to give an example. This kind of non-fact-based anecdotal policy making literally has the potential to kill on a mass scale and is another example of the echo chamber that science-denying politicians get stuck in, brushing off facts to fit ideology on a good day and their voting block on a bad day.
Paul took it even a step further saying that making vaccines optional was "about resorting to freedom." Even by his own pseudo-libertarian ideology — that the government should only make law that ensures the protection of liberty — his proposal doesn't hold up.
Vaccination is about protecting life. A person's decision not to get vaccinated puts everyone in danger and is a direct threat to people's liberty not to be afflicted by life-threatening diseases. After all, what liberty is there without the unalienable right to life.
Disease Control and Prevention declared measles eliminated in the U.S. Fifteen years later, it's making headlines again for the wrong reason, because the wrong people got wrong information.
We need to be better than this and set the record straight once and for all.

Slitting the beating heart
Dutch surgeons show the way to carry out coronary bypass surgeries without using the heart-lung machine
Published: Thursday 15 August 1996
it may be difficult, but not impossible to operate on a beating heart. Coronary bypass surgeries can now be conducted without using heart-lung machines.
The thought that during the operation, survival depends upon a machine and the heart is temporarily stopped, makes a patient tense. But in future, this may not be the problem as heart surgeons in the Netherlands claim to have carried out coronary bypass operations without stopping their patients hearts. The developers of the technique claim that patients' would be more comfortable with this less expensive method ( New Scientist , Vol 150, No 2033).
In conventional bypass, the natural beating of the heart is stopped temporarily by filling it with a cold potassium rich liquid. The reason being that jerky heart beats make it impossible for a surgeon to work with precision. An artificial heart-lung machine then takes over the charge to keep the blood circulating. But there are some complications associated with this method like oxygen deficiency in the heart during the operation and generation of inflammatory immune response in the patient triggered by the passage of patients blood over the foreign surfaces of the heart-lung machine. On an average, the patients' have to stay in the hospital for seven days to recover.
A team led by Cornelius Borst at the University of Utrecht, has come up with a system that provides a solution to both the problems. Their procedure, called the Octopus method, does not stop the heart; it immobilises the section undergoing surgery by holding it in place with two miniature suction cups tightly attached to the operating table. The suction cups are placed on each side of the coronary artery, near the spot where the bypass surgery is needed, thus limiting the movement of the tissue to within a millimetre.
Trials of the Octopus method on 23 patients, have shown signs of success. On an average, patients left the hospital after only four days and some went back to work in just three weeks. Not only does this benefit the patient physically but is also very economical. For example, a heart-lung machine costs us $900 and a day in a Dutch hospital costs us $600.
The Octopus method is not suitable in all cases and has its demerits also. The size of incision to be made while operating, will not decrease even with the usage of the Octopus method. Of the nearly 600,000 bypass operations performed every year worldwide, the simplest may be carried out with the Octopus method. The Octopus method will not be suitable for the most complicated bypasses where surgeon will still have to open the patients sternum, as it is done for the conventional bypass.
While some surgeons have switched over to the new treatment, some still remain cautious like Bas Mochtar, a cardiac surgeon at the Rotterdam University's Dijkzigt Hospital, who wants to see whether the success of angioplasty, in which a balloon is inflated inside the artery to clear the blockage, can be matched by the new procedure.
