Worcester Life Stories
Worcester Life Stories was launched in 2020 as a collaboration between Worcester City Council's Historic Environment Record (HER) and Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care Trust, funded by the National Lottery and Historic England. It grew from a desire to connect the HER's vast collection of 20th-century photographs with the audiences to whom they were most relevant, and with recognition from the Trust's Older Adult Mental Health Serv…
Costs and cost‐effectiveness of the meeting centres support programme for people living with dementia and carers in Italy, Poland and the UK: The Meetingdem Study
We examined the costs and cost-effectiveness of the Meeting Centre Support Programme (MCSP) implemented and piloted in the UK, Poland and Italy, replicating the Dutch Meeting Centre model. Dutch Meeting Centres combine day services for people with dementia with carer support. Data were collected over 2015-2016 from MCSP and usual care (UC) participants (people with dementia-carer dyads) at baseline and 6 months. We examined participants' health a…
The Impact of Implementing a Namaste Care Intervention in UK Care Homes for People Living with Advanced Dementia, Staff and Families
Care homes can struggle to provide optimal care for residents with advanced dementia. Namaste Care provides a structured daily programme of physical, sensory and emotional care delivered by regular care workers. A three-year, mixed method process study of implementation and impact created a manualised Namaste Care Intervention for UK care homes (NCI-UK). This article reports on the impact of NCI-UK delivered consistently in five care homes for 12…

Oxford Medieval Texts: The Chronicle of John of Worcester, Vol. 2: The Annals from 450 to 1066: The Annals from 450 to 1066 (Oxford Medieval Texts)
The Mohammetan and Idolatry
The anachronistic ascription of membership of the Moslem faith to the persecutors of Christians in the period before the Peace of the Church appears in Anglo-Norman hagiography in the late twelfth century, or early thirteenth, and in English lives later in the thirteenth century. It may be, at least in part, the result of the corruption in meaning of a derivative of the word Mahomet , found in Anglo-Norman as mahumez in the early twelfth century …
The Craft Structure of a Traditional Yoruba Town
Until the present century, craft industries in Yorubaland were carried out only in towns, as in mediaeval Europe, and this greater complexity of economic activity has been used as a criterion for the definition of a Yoruba urban centre1. The aim of this article is to analyse the craft structure of a traditional Yoruba town, taking as an example men's weaving in Iseyin. It is based on a questionnaire survey of a random sample of ninety weaving com…
The Craft Structure of a Traditional Yoruba Town
The Economics of Traditional Cloth Production in Iseyin, Nigeria
The Organization of Traditional Weaving in Iseyin, Nigeria
Opening ParagraphThe Yoruba town of Iseyin, 55 miles north-west of the city of Ibadan, is a traditional settlement with little economic specialization or division of labour other than according to sex. There is no factory development or industrial employment in the town. In the local tax returns for 1966, 88 per cent of the male taxpayers recorded farming as their primary occupation and the basis of the town's economy is still agricultural. Iseyi…
