Whistleblowing calls as Stafford Hospital report set to be published
A former nurse at scandal hit Stafford Hospital has called for whistleblowing to be encouraged 'as actively as hand hygiene'.
Anuji Varma
And Helene Donnelly, who worked as an A&E nurse at the hospital, said major changes are needed in the way checks by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) are carried out.
She spoke to magazine 'Nursing Standard' ahead of Sir Robert Francis's report into failings at Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust, which is due out today.
The medic, based at the hospital between 2002 and 2008, told the Francis Inquiry in October, 2011, of her experiences.
In this week's interview, she said: "There should be more unannounced inspections. Inspectors should speak to more staff, from cleaners to doctors, and employers should not be allowed to pick staff for inspectors to speak to."
Helene added that in 11 years as a nurse she had never been interviewed by inspectors.
She also believes the Nursing and Midwifery Council should require proof nurses have had an appraisal before allowing them to re-register. "In the six years I was at Mid Staffs I never had an appraisal. An appraisal would have allowed me to raise my concerns about care and the bullying."
Helene joined Mid Staffs in 2002, moving to A&E two years later. She claims bullying was rife, patients treated like 'an inconvenience' and repeated attempts to raise concerns went unaddressed.
Helene believes whistleblowing should be vigorously promoted in hospitals. "Although doing this is hugely daunting, ultimately it has not harmed my career. I am now a band 7 nurse. More importantly, I can sleep at night because I know I did my best for patients and I did try to speak out.'
A CQC spokesperson said: 'We always speak to nurses as part of our inspections of NHS trusts. We observe nurses at work, talk to them and advertise our presence through
the head of nursing and by putting up posters. CQC also runs a dedicated whistleblowers hotline."

Charlotte is talking about my Diamonds & Emeralds II quilt today! She's got all my thoughts on this quilt, as well as hers, so I'll be photo heavy today :) This quilt seems positively un-quilt-like to me because of my fabric choices, and I must confess, I don't want to wash and crinkle it! I'm worried it'll lose it's look!
It's definitely a funkier style. Is this what a "grunge" quilt would look like? A punkster quilt? I really like how "liquidy" this fabric looks.
This is one of my favorite quilts in the book. I have no idea why, but it just is! You could certainly choose more traditional fabrics to bring this pattern back into the world of modern traditionalism. I do really enjoy pushing color choices, shapes, and fabrics to create "edgier" quilts on occasion.
Just out of curiosity, what fabrics might you like to see used for this quilt pattern? Sometimes, I just have my idea and can't think outside of it, and this is one of them! I had a very defined vision for this quilt, so I'm intrigued to see how others would interpret it.

Senator John McCain: A True American Patriot and Hero
Upon the passing of Senator John McCain - a true American patriot and hero - this past Saturday, the Western Growers family wishes to extend its deepest condolences and collective prayers to his family. While it is difficult to encapsulate the full impact of the life and career of Senator McCain, which will reverberate for generations of Americans to come, this one anecdote may suffice: congressional leaders from both parties have announced that Senator McCain will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol, an honor that has been bestowed but 31 times in the past 166 years of American history.

End the Trade War, Now
In a recent interview on Agri-Pulse's Open Mic show, I reiterated my support for President Trump's stated objectives on recasting American trade policy. The international trade playing field is fundamentally unfair to the U.S., and many countries have for decades taken advantage of us.

Ongoing Wildfires Prompt Nassif to Issue Statement
The wildfires in Southern California continue to rage on and dominate the news. People from all walks of life have been threatened and many have experienced significant losses, including many in the agriculture industry. Unfortunately, Western Growers' members have not been spared. In response to the fires and to several media inquiries made, Tom Nassif, president and CEO of Western Growers issued the following statement:

No, Automation Does Not Mean Job Loss
The inaugural AgSharks™ Competition took place last week at our Western Growers Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, and the outcome was both unexpected and sensational! Six agtech start-up companies pitched their technologies—everything from robots that cart berries up and down the field to little sachets that reduce decay and extend the shelf life of fresh produce—to a group of investors and farmers. The result?

Senator Feinstein Faces Undue Criticism for Urging Patience With President Trump
Recently Senator Feinstein has come under fire for comments she made concerning the need to have "patience" with respect to President Trump. Senator Feinstein was expressing her hope, which she admitted was perhaps fleeting, that President Trump can become a better President than he has, in her opinion, shown to date. Since making those comments the Senator has come under fire by Democrat activists and even elected leaders like state Senate President pro tem Kevin De Leon. That is unfortunate.

How Does the UFW Still Have Influence in Sacramento?
Two recent court judgments against the United Farm Workers (UFW) have floated past most of the news media, and apparently our elected lawmakers in Sacramento, without a hint of irony. In March, the Monterey County Superior Court awarded more than $1.1 million in penalties and unpaid wages against the UFW stemming from a class action claim that the union misclassified as "exempt" 23 of its own employees and failed to pay them overtime or let them take lunch breaks.

Turkey's Armenians keep heads down after genocide recognition
by Fulya OZERKAN · 29th April 2021
Image source: Daily Sabah
Members of Turkey's tiny Armenian community have kept a low profile since US President Joe Biden recognised the Armenian genocide, fearing retribution should they openly celebrate the landmark step.
"Discretion has become a part of our daily lives," said an Armenian Turk who, like many others interviewed by AFP, wished to remain anonymous to protect his local business.
Biden on Saturday became the first US president to brush aside Turkish pressure and call the 1915-1917 events a genocide in which "1.5 million Armenians were deported, massacred, or marched to their deaths in a campaign of extermination".
His words caused relief and bittersweet joy in Armenia and among the the tiny Caucasus state's vast web of ethnic communities across Europe and the Americas.
Once an integral part of the Ottoman Empire's multifaceted society, only 60,000 ethnic Armenians are still believed to live in modern Turkey, most of them in Istanbul.
Ankara accepts that both Armenians and Turks died in vast numbers while the Ottomans battled tsarist Russia, but denies the existence of a deliberate policy of genocide.
Dozens of angry Turks rallied outside the US consulate in Istanbul on Monday to express outrage at Biden's decision.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called it "groundless, unfair" and detrimental to US-Turkish ties.

The Turkish-Armenian businessman said his community faces waves of anti-Armenian sentiments whenever debates resume about the century-old events.
"We were raised since childhood not to speak Armenian on the street. We were even told to call our mothers 'anne' (in Turkish) instead of 'mama'," he said.
"Everyone has differences on every issue but when it comes to the Armenian question, everyone is united in Turkey."
'Hate speech'
Yetvart Danzikyan, editor-in-chief of the Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos — whose former editor Hrant Dink was gunned down in Istanbul in 2007 — said the annual commemorations pass in a "climate of tension" in Turkey.
"The climate is shaped by (Turkey's) tough response, which goes as far as to hold Armenians responsible" for what happened, Danzikyan said in a telephone interview.
Fahrettin Altun, Erdogan's powerful press adviser, tweeted on Tuesday that "distorting history further encourages Armenian extremism", pointing to the Turkish diplomats assassinated by Armenian militants in the 1970s and 1980s.
For Agos's Danzikyan, Altun's words and similar comments represent a campaign of psychological pressure and intimidation that make it difficult to speak freely.
"How can you expect a community which has lived under pressure for decades to speak up?" Danzikyan asked.
Selina Dogan, an ethnic Armenian ex-MP from the main opposition CHP party, agreed that her community's silence since Biden's announcement was part of an attempt at self-preservation.
Armenians have remained discreet "to maintain their presence in these lands," said Dogan, who is now a municipal assembly member representing a district on the European side of Istanbul where many Armenians live.
In Turkey, "hate speech is glorified", said Dogan.
Paramaz Mercan, a 50-year-old Armenian who lives in the mostly Kurdish southeastern city of Diyarbakir, said his attempts to relate the way his community felt to the media did not end well.
"On one particular occasion, I expressed a thought and said I wanted to live my own culture, which prompted some to say that I should be deported," he recalled.

Rememberings
An intimate and revelatory memoir from the iconic, acclaimed singer-songwriter Sinead O'Connor's voice and trademark shaved head made her famous by the age of twenty-one. Her landmark recording of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U made her a global icon. She outraged millions when she tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II on American television. Unapologetic and impossible to ignore, she called out hypocrisy wherever she saw it, and has done so for three decades. Now, in Rememberings, O'Connor tells her story - the heartache of growing up in a family falling apart; her early forays into the Dublin music scene; her adventures and misadventures in the world of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll; the fulfilment of being a mother; her ongoing spiritual quest - and through it all, her abiding passion for music. Rememberings is intimate, replete with candid anecdotes and full of hard-won insights. It is a unique and remarkable chronicle by a unique and remarkable artist.

"What to do, where to start, how do I green my life?" Perhaps it seems like an overwhelming question, so why don't we break it down into baby steps to make it more doable and so you can congratulate yourself for doing your part. This post will focus on reducing carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) which are currently causing our environment the most trouble.
A little bit of editorial from me: there is nothing inherently wrong with a high-CO2 emitting lifestyle. I'm not making a lifestyle judgement when I encourage you to decrease your CO2 emissions. I don't think that a high-CO2 lifestyle is "bad" or "evil." I mean, when we breathe it is CO2 that we exhale…so how bad can it be?
The problem is the increasing per person rate of CO2 emissions, caused by our high energy-used lifestyles, multiplied by the explosive population growth our globe has experienced, 1 billion new people in the last 10 years, which has raised CO2 emissions to a point where our ecosystem, planet Earth, can not process the CO2 fast enough, via plants, etc. This is the problem. Too much CO2 and too many of us. This is why we need to individually reduce our "carbon footprints," the amount of carbon we each contribute, to reduce emissions to a point where the Earth isn't over-taxed and our ecosystem can go back into balance. Incidentally, the per capita CO2 emissions for Americans are 10,000 pounds annually the global average is a little over 2,000 pounds.
We are all familiar with the 3-R's "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" however, many people don't realize that the three words are in that specific order for a reason. Reduce is first because it eliminates waste by limiting consumption. Reuse is second because it means taking something that has already been created and using and reusing it until its spent, like turning old clothes into rags. The last step, and least important in the hierarchy, is to recycle. The reason why it's the last step is because recycling uses energy and materials too, just not as much, so while it's great, it's not as great as reduce and reuse in terms of limiting waste/consumption/etc.
2. You've heard it before but replace your incandescent lightbulbs with compact flourescents (CFL) wherever possible. It's impossible to overstate the potential impact of CFL lightbulbs on reducing CO2. CFL bulbs use about 1/4 of the energy of a standard bulb and last anywhere from 8 – 12 times longer representing a savings of anywhere from $25 – $50 over the life of the bulb in energy savings and replacement savings. Replacing a standard bulb with a CFL bulb saves from 100 – 400 pounds of CO2 emissions annually PER BULB depending on how often the light is used. There are already new CFLs that correct the two issues people hate most about them: their odd shape and the blue-ish color they cast. However, if you already have first generation CFLs installed, know that the light color issue can be corrected by using lamp shades that have a yellow – bronze tinge which will color the "cast light" and make it a more pleasing yellowish glow like incandescent bulbs. I've used this trick for the 7 CFL bulbs I have in my living room/dining room area and it works like a charm. Whenever possible, buy Energy Star certified CFLs so you know what you are getting.
3. Lower (or raise if it's summertime where you are) your thermostat by 1 – 3 degrees. Heat and AC are the biggest costs in home energy use. The U.S. spends approximately 1/4 of all energy consumption on AC alone. By lowering or raising your thermostate 1 degree you can prevent about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions annually. Now, just so you don't think I'm basking in my perfectly temperate house while you are too hot or too cold, the fact is you probably won't notice a single degree different or even 2 or 3. Personally, I hate forced air heat and AC…it makes my skin so dry and my contacts feel like they will pop out of my head, and we turn our heat/AC on only a handful of days a year. Call us masochists but we regularly wake up to a house that is 54 degrees in the winter because our house was built in the 1950s and has zero insulation in the walls. At some point I hope to correct that, but for now we simply dress accordingly and in the winter it is not unusual for us to sleep with 5 blankets and a hat on.
Three baby steps that can lower your family's carbon emissions by thousands of pounds annually. It's a great start…pat yourself on the back!

Local Community Engagement and Outreach
The school serves as a hub of the local community. As such, it actively involves the community in achieving its learning goals, reaching out to the community to (1) extend learning into community centers, libraries, businesses, higher education institutions, museums, and other public spaces; (2) bring relevance to curricula through partnerships that take the shape of apprenticeships, community service, and the use of community-based experts and resources; (3) implement community-based exhibitions, reviews, critiques, and celebrations of student work; and (4) coordinate after school programs, including collaboration with the school and students' teachers. Community Engagement and Outreach.
District leaders annually survey the community for opportunities for partnerships and cooperative relationships. Their communication outreach and public forums provide community members a voice in school decisions and activities. District leaders are continuously seeking community partnerships (e.g., extending learning into community centers, libraries, museums, community-based exhibitions, coordinated afterschool programs). District leaders establish a formal plan or plans to engage the community in viable partnerships and coordinated activities (e.g., extending learning into community centers, libraries, museums, community-based exhibitions, coordinated after school programs). District leaders establish school-community partnerships as a strategic goal, with clear parameters for such partnerships, including processes for considering, vetting, and engaging in such partnerships. Partnerships include: 1) the extension of learning into the community, connections related to exhibitions and reviews of student work, and 2) coordination of after school programs.


Andrea Chavez used to show up to an opposing gym and sense it.
Arpine Amirkhanyan admits she has felt it, too.
In fact, every player on the Grant of Van Nuys girls' basketball team knows what playing the part of the underdog is like, because the Lancers were just that before the season began.
"We're used to getting no respect," Chavez says.
"We've been the underdogs before, yeah," Amirkhanyan adds.
But such thoughts are now distant memories for the Lancers, who have notched victories over three of the top teams in the area to catapult to No. 3 in the Daily News' rankings. Grant (6-0) has beaten No. 5 Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks, No. 14 LaCanada and No. 17 Crescenta Valley of La Crescenta while also taking first place in the Crescenta Valley Tournament on Dec. 1. Previously known as a superior team in the relatively inferior Sunset Six League, Grant can no longer be overlooked as in years past.
The Lancers boast a balanced offensive attack that includes fourplayers who are scoring threats, while their pressure defense can often take over a game.
Grant's lineup does not include a six-footer or NCAA Division I prospect, but the Lancers have made up for those deficiencies with team speed – a byproduct of the grueling workouts the team undergoes at practice.
"I know that nobody else expected us to start off 6-0, but the success came as no surprise to us," said Chavez, who leads Grant with 14points per game to go along with 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists.
In Grant's 47-42 victory over Notre Dame on Nov. 30, Chavez scored a season-high 23 points to lead all scorers.
Although she was the key player for the Lancers that game, first-year coach Michael Flot does not have to rely on one or two players to carry the scoring load.
Amirkhanyan, a 5-foot-11 center, averages 13.2 points and team-high 9.3 rebounds, while Mariam Asaryan (8.8 points per game) and Blue Sanders (8.0 points, 4.8 assists) can also take over when called upon.
In essence, Grant is a group of role players that shine brightest when assembled together as a team.
The goal of going undefeated in the regular season appears attainable for Grant, which already is through the toughest part of its schedule. The Lancers finished 9-1 in the Sunset Six last season, and 10 of their remaining 11 regular-season games will be in the league.
Winning the City won't be quite as easy, as Grant was eliminated in the second round of the City Invitational last season.
Although the Lancers figure to qualify for the City Championship this time around, perennial powers such as Narbonne of Harbor City, Crenshaw of Los Angeles and Dorsey of Los Angeles figure to be the favorites.
It might be easy for teams to overlook that assertion. Chavez even expects them to.
It's what everyone else has done.

The second largest country in the world and a population well over 36,5 million, Canada's incredible geographical variety is a significant tourist attractor. Much of the country's tourism is centred in the following (busiest) regions: Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver/Whistler, Niagara Falls, Vancouver Island, Canadian Rockies, British Columbias Okanagan Valley, and the national capital region Ottawa. The large cities (cities in Canada) are known for their culture, diversity, as well as the many national parks and historic sites. There are 17 World Heritage sites in Canada, including one of the oldest, Nahanni National Park Reserve in the Northwest Territories, and one of the newest, the Red Bay Basque Whaling Station in Newfoundland and Labrador. Of these 18 sites, 8 of them are Cultural Heritages and 10 are Natural Heritages. Canada is divided into ten provinces and three territories. Domestic and international tourism combined directly contributes 1% of Canada's total GDP and supports 310,000 jobs in the country. Most visitors arriving to Canada in 2015 came from the following countries of residence: United States, United Kingdom, China, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, and India. Canada ist host to 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Alberta is the western of the three Canadian Prairies provinces next to the Rocky Mountains. Its two major cities are Calgary, and Edmonton, the provincial capital. The Village of Stirling has close to 1,000 inhabitants. Being one of only three communities in Canada that are designated National historic status, tourism is a very important part of Stirling's economy. Edmonton is well known for West Edmonton Mall, the largest mall in North America, formerly the largest in the world. Edmonton is also known as Canada's festival city, with over 60 festivals happening year round. Edmonton is home to the area of Old Strathcona, a historical district with boutique shopping, music, arts, and many restaurants. Another world-class attraction is the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller, housing the largest collection of dinosaur fossils under one roof in the world. Alberta also contains significant natural scenery, including 5 of Canada's 18 UNESCO World heritage sites. These are Banff and Jasper National Parks, Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, Wood Buffalo National Park, Dinosaur Provincial Park and Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. In the southeast, Alberta shares with Saskatchewan the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, a geographic region of importance both to aboriginal history and to the North-West Mounted Police. Alberta has no provincial sales tax.
Alberta is an important skiing destination for tourists. It has several world-class ski resorts. Canada Olympic Park, with its downhill ski and ski jumping facilities, is located in the city of Calgary.

British Columbia is Canada's westernmost province and touches the Pacific Ocean. The winters in the coastal areas are relatively warm in comparison to the rest of Canada. British Columbia is one of the three Canadian Maritimes provinces and one of four Atlantic Provinces. British Columbia is divided into 6 regions: Vancouver, Coast & Mountains, Thompson Okanagan, Cariboo Chilcotin Coast, Northern British Columbia, Kootenay Rockies, and Vancouver Island. British Columbia (BC) is Canada's most mountainous province and has some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world. Alpine skiing is a major draw for the province. The province has about 33 large ski resorts spread out from Vancouver Island to the Alberta border. Whistler nestled in the rugged Coast Mountains, is consistently ranked as the #1 ski resort destination in North America and co-hosted the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
Vancouver, the largest Canadian metropolitan area west of Toronto, is one of Canada's most multi-cultural cities. There is a large community of people of Asian origin. Vancouver is a harbour city and provides beautiful landscapes of mountains and ocean.

Newfoundland and Labrador attracts many tourists because of its icebergs and fjords. Newfoundland and Labrador is one of four Atlantic Provinces. It was settled by Leif Ericsson, an Icelandic sailor, in 1000 A.D. Remains of this settlement can still be found in L'Anse aux Meadows, northern Newfoundland. Europeans settled in 1497, headed by an expedition by John Cabot. The province's capital, St. John's, is the oldest city in North America, founded in 1497 by John Cabot. It contains many historical locations, such as Cabot Tower, receiver of the first wireless trans-Atlantic message in 1901. Steeped in a long, proud history and home to a rich, unique culture – St. John's residents are known for their hospitality, and their city is a major travel destination in Newfoundland both domestically and for foreign travellers. In recent years, St. John's has become a popular stop for cruise ships originating from ports in Canada, the United States and Europe.

Nunavut is probably the most expensive of all the tourist destinations in Canada. Tourism in Nunavut focuses on outdoor activities and culture of the local Inuit, the indigenous people of Nunavut. Wildlife watching is a popular tourist attraction, as the territory is home to a number of wildlife and bird sanctuaries. It is possible to spot walrus, polar bears, a large variety of birds and belugas throughout Nunavut. Outdoor adventure activities are also popular. Nunavut has a wide and lengthy river system, meaning that there are a large number of canoeing and kayaking opportunities to suit experienced travellers. Nunavut's vast expanse of uninhabited territory offers many opportunities for hiking and camping. However, the region's often extreme conditions and remote location often necessitates a guide, even for experienced campers.
Attractions in Nunavut include Auyuittuq National Park, Quttinirpaaq National Park, Sirmilik National Park, Ukkusiksalik National Park, and Ovayok Territorial Park.

Charlottetown © MTLskyline/cc-by-sa-3.0
Prince Edward Island (PEI) is the birthplace of Lucy Maude Montgomery's character, Anne of Green Gables, and a recreation of her literary home serves as a museum to the character. PEI is also famous around the world for its potato farms and rich red mud beaches. Prince Edward Island is one of the three Canadian Maritimes provinces and one of four Atlantic Provinces. The provincial economy is dominated by the seasonal industries of agriculture, tourism, and the fishery. The province is limited in terms of heavy industry and manufacturing, though the McCain's food conglomerate runs expansion operations from PEI. Many of the province's coastal communities rely upon shellfish harvesting, particularly lobster fishing as well as oyster fishing and mussel farming.
The island's cultural traditions of art, music and creative writing are supported through the public education system. There is an annual arts festival, the Charlottetown Festival, hosted at the Confederation Centre of the Arts. There is an annual arts festival, the Island Fringe Festival that takes place around Charlottetown. An annual jazz festival, the P.E.I. Jazz and Blues Festival. is a one-week-long series of concerts taking place at several venues including Murphy's Community Center, outdoor stages, and churches in Charlottetown.
Water sports are very popular on Prince Edward Island during the summer, perhaps because the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Northumberland Strait are warmer than the Atlantic Ocean off the shores of nearby New England.

Rolf Nierhaus (* 15. Juni 1911 in Frankfurt am Main; † 6. Februar 1996 in Gundelfingen) war ein deutscher Provinzialrömischer Archäologe.

Leben und Werk
Rolf Nierhaus begann nach dem Abitur ein Studium an der Universität Freiburg. Es folgten Studienstationen in München und Frankfurt. Er beendete sein Studium an der Universität Leipzig, wo er mit einer altphilologischen Arbeit, Strophe und Inhalt im pindarischen Epinikion, 1936 promoviert wurde. Eine akademische Karriere Nierhaus' wurde von den nationalsozialistischen Machthabern zunächst verhindert. 1937 wurde er Wissenschaftlicher Hilfsarbeiter der Römisch-Germanischen Kommission in Frankfurt. In dieser Zeit konnte er verschiedene Forschungsmeinungen als überholt beziehungsweise falsch nachweisen. Für 1939/40 wurde Nierhaus das Reisestipendium des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts zuerkannt. Aufgrund des Ausbruches des Zweiten Weltkrieges konnte er die damit verbundene Reise nicht antreten, 1950/51 aber als einer der wenigen verhinderten Inhaber des Stipendiums nachholen. 1953 bis 1955 war Nierhaus Mitarbeiter am Alamannischen Institut des Staatlichen Amts für Ur- und Frühgeschichte in Freiburg. Herausragende Arbeit in den 1950er Jahren war die Monografie Das römische Brand- und Körpergräberfeld "Auf der Steig" in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. Die Ausgrabungen im Jahre 1955, die als bahnbrechend gilt. Mehrere Rezensionen feierten die Arbeit als die herausragende auf dem Gebiet der Provinzialrömischen Archäologie seiner Zeit.

1956 wechselte Nierhaus als Assistent an die Universität Tübingen, 1960 wurde er Dozent und habilitierte sich im Sommer des Jahres mit der Arbeit Das swebische Gräberfeld von Diersheim. Studien zur Geschichte der Germanen am Oberrhein vom Gallischen Krieg bis zur alamannischen Landnahme. Ausgehend von den Untersuchungen des Gräberfeldes in Diersheim bot Nierhaus eine Geschichte der Germanen am Oberrhein von der Zeit des Gallischen Krieges bis zur Landnahme durch die Alamannen. Sie gilt als methodisches Musterbeispiel für die Verbindung archäologischer und philologischer Quelleninterpretation und -kritik. Trotz fortschreitender Forschungen gilt die Arbeit bis heute als Ausgangspunkt für Forschungen in dem Bereich. Zum 15. November 1961 erfolgte die Berufung Nierhaus' zum zweiten Direktor der Abteilung Madrid des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts. Hier waren Topographie und Wirtschaftsgeschichte insbesondere des südlichen Hispaniens Zentrum seiner Tätigkeit. 1966 war Nierhaus Gründungsprofessor der Abteilung für Provinzialrömische Archäologie am Seminar für Alte Geschichte der Universität Freiburg. 1976 ging er in den Ruhestand, den er in der Nähe von Freiburg im Breisgau verlebte.

Nierhaus beschäftigte sich mit historischer Topographie vor allem im Schwarzwald, wo er etwa zu den historischen Straßenverbindungen publizierte, und der iberischen Halbinsel sowie der Bevölkerungskunde. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt lag in der Sitten- und Kulturgeschichte. Von Beginn seiner Karriere an hatte er Interesse an verschiedenen Fachgebieten, von der Altphilologie, über die Alte Geschichte und Klassische Archäologie bis zur Ur- und Frühgeschichte und Kunstgeschichte, was die Karriere hindurch Einfluss auf seine Arbeit hatte und sich in seinen thematisch weit gestreuten Publikationen zeigte. So war es ein Zeichen von Nierhaus' Arbeiten, literarische und archäologische Zeugnisse gleichberechtigt in seine Forschung einzubeziehen. Zudem widmete er sich theoretischen Fragestellungen der Archäologie. In der Provinzialrömischen Archäologie sah er anders als viele seiner Vorgänger mehr als eine militärhistorische Disziplin. Ausgrabungstätigkeiten waren nicht seine Hauptbetätigung, doch leistete er auch hier Beachtliches, wenn er wie "Auf der Steig" oder in Breisach selbst grub.

Rolf Nierhaus war Ordentliches Mitglied des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts und wirkliches Mitglied des Österreichischen Archäologischen Instituts.
