'Time to Change' Covéa Insurance signs pledge to end the stigma of mental health in the workplace
17th May
Covéa Insurance has committed to changing attitudes to mental health within the workplace. This week, the company joined other leading employers by signing an employer pledge with Time to Change, a social movement run by charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness. Its aim is to support people in opening up to mental health problems to change the way we all think and act about mental health in the workplace.
Simon Cooter, Commercial and HNW Director at Covéa Insurance formally signed the Time to Change Pledge this week in Manchester; the timing coincides with the BIBA conference where mental health is one of the many topics for discussion over the 2 day event.
Speaking about the commitment, he said:
"It's encouraging to see mental health on the agenda at BIBA this year which in itself gives recognition and raises awareness of the scale of this issue; one in four of us will experience a mental health problem and many will have faced negative treatment in the workplace as a result. This has to change.
We're signing the Time to Change pledge to raise awareness of the issue and because we're seeking to create a culture within Covéa Insurance where people feel they can be open and honest about where they are in life and receive the support they need. As employers, we need to give mental health the same prominence as physical health and make it 'normal' to talk about so that we can break the silence and end the stigma of mental health."
In addition to signing the Time to Change Pledge, Covéa Insurance has created a workstream specifically designed to address mental health as part of a broader D&I initiative. Called 'Covéa Minds', the focus of this group will be to ensure that action plans are followed through at every level of the organisation, cementing awareness and driving understanding, education and support for mental health issues across the business.
Jo Loughran, Interim Director for Time to Change said:
"Too many people with mental health problems are made to feel isolated, ashamed and worthless, but with the right support, those of us with mental health issues can recover and have equal opportunities in all areas of life. Everyone's attitude makes a difference and it's fantastic to see organisations like Covéa Insurance taking the lead."

Men have more important things to worry about than dinner.
Food. It's one of those life essentials. But who has time to cook when you're busy banging out TPS Reports 16 hours a day? That, and the fact that most dudes don't even know how to cook.
Those three key insights are what led copywriter Pete Harmelin to create this badass campaign for A Man A Can A Plan — a cookbook from the editors of Men's Health magazine.
Pete is spot on with a trio of sharp headlines accompanied by illustrations of men depicted in a simpler time. Sure, you don't have to contend with demons and lions anymore. But life is not without its obstacles in the way of an easy, well-cooked meal. Pete feeds our inner-barbarian.

Let us recap quickly the highlights in parts one (1) and two (2) of this series. In part 1, I traced the origins of education in Ghana to the pioneered literary works of the Basel Missionaries dated 1863. I also pointed to Article 25(1) of the 1992 Fourth Republican Constitution which stipulates the promotion of free basic education and 'progressively free' tertiary education.
The fact that Ghana has extended its Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education from nine (9) years to twelve (12) years and its impact on tertiary education is the reason for this series of articles. In part 2, I analysed the performance statistics of entry figures of students who sat the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) from 2011 – 2017 and also consider enrolment in private universities from 2015 – 2017.
In this final part of the series, I will take an analytical view of some reasons that may have accounted for fall in enrolment in private tertiary institutions, take a brief detour into calculation for expected increase into tertiary institutions from the increased enrolment in Free SHS. I will also consider some factors that can inure to the benefits of private tertiary institutions by increasing enrolment.
- Some reasons that may have accounted for the decline in enrolment in private tertiary institutions are:
- Non-availability of senior faculty in proportion to students ration – it is a fact and an experiential knowledge that there is low employment and/or the non-availability of many senior members of faculty in many private universities. It is common to see some private universities without a professor.
Generally, Ghana lacks the number of professors required for its growing universities. Majority of the few professors available are in the public universities. Why the private universities cannot attract them may range from issues of employee compensation for their skill, non-guarantee of longevity of private universities, facilities for research, teaching and learning, and issues of non-compliance of corporate governance which tends to impede academic freedom (employees are often at the mercies of the owner).
- High cost of school fees – comparatively, private tertiary education is more expensive than public tertiary education. A simple reason usually accounted for this is the availability of government subvention to public tertiary institutions as opposed to private tertiary institutions whose source of income is mainly through enrolment.
- Expansion of sessions by public universities – perhaps the most probable reason that may have accounted for the low enrolment in private universities are the avalanche of sessions run by public universities. Notable among these sessions are distance and sandwich programmes.
The distance and sandwich programmes run by the public tertiary institutions are purely unfair practices to private tertiary institutions. These sessions can be attributed highly to revenue generation motives by public tertiary institutions. Such economic motives must be discouraged in building quality in tertiary education. I will write a detailed study on this unfair practice by public tertiary institutions in Ghana.
- Decline in foreign students enrolment – private tertiary institutions have in the past enjoyed higher enrolment of international students mainly from Nigeria. A cursive looks into many campuses and discussions with students in private tertiary institutions shows that the influx of students from Nigeria into Ghana's private tertiary institutions has declined enormously.
The immediate reasons they attributed to this phenomenon was mainly the economic downturn in Nigeria to fund international education and the establishment of more foreign universities which has increased enrolment in Nigeria.
- Calculations for expected increase into tertiary institutions from the increased enrolment in Free SHS

Source: Author's fieldwork, 2018
From the table above, tertiary institutions in Ghana enrolled 417,058 in 2015/2018. Granted that this number has increased marginally to 420,000 by 2017/2018 academic year, the Free SHS is expected to further increase the number.
If 40% of the 361, 322 enrolled in the Free SHS qualify for tertiary institutions, plus those who will be seeking admission into tertiary institutions same year with qualifications other than WASSCE will be around 2%.
If the anticipated increase in enrolment into Free SHS remains at 6%, it is expected that by 2020/2021, the Free SHS would have enrolled 1,580,638. From this increasing numbers, private universities in Ghana, stands a good position to enroll more students than their current numbers. However, it must be said that the expected increase in enrolment will not come by chance if strategic decisions and methodological steps are not take in preparedness for the high enrolment.
- Some factors that can inure to the benefits of private tertiary institutions in preparation to increasing enrolment
- Expansion in infrastructure – in anticipation for increase in enrolment, there is the need for private tertiary institutions to increase infrastructure. I mean necessary infrastructure for teaching and learning. If they can expand campus based accommodation that will also improve intensity in studying and community life.
- Competitive fee charges – they may have to consider the government waiver of tax to compensate for competitive fee charges. They will have to move from over profiteering motives and consider the economic tenant of education which is a public good.
- Expansion in course – they have to venture into courses in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The industrilaisation agenda of Ghana's economy must inspire the courses offered at its tertiary institutions that seek to build the highest level of its human resource capital.
- Employment of quality staff – private tertiary institutions must invest more in their existing staff while they seek to employ more qualified staff.
- Employee compensation – the poor employee compensation in many private tertiary institutions in Ghana will not help their expectation in being attractive to quality staff employment. A quality staff will make better student.
While private universities position themselves to do the business of higher education, government must take steps to prevent the public universities from over stretching their boundaries and diluting quality for economic gains. Equal measure of quality of faculty and infrastructure must be ensured in all the various distance and sandwich programmes centres.
The standard for measuring educational quality must be even and not seen to be favouring one party against the other else we will be encouraging educational segregation which smacks of respects and loss of investment for private tertiary eduprenuers. Private tertiary education must be encouraged to flourish in totality.
The Free SHS will be the good thing yet to happen to private tertiary institutions if only they are positioned appropriately. Whichever way it is, the Free SHS will increase the human resource base at the tertiary institution level by which private tertiary institutions are expected to be the most beneficiaries.

T-Mobile US added another 1.3 million new customers in the third quarter, its 18th straight period with more than 1 million net customer additions, bringing its total to more 70 million customers.
Revenue at the Bellevue, Wash.-based company climbed 8 percent to $10 billion. Profits rose 50 percent to $550 million. T-Mobile added 817,000 branded postpaid customers, saying it expects to lead the U.S. wireless industry in the growth of this coveted class of wireless customer for the seventh straight quarter.
However, analysts won't be able to quiz T-Mobile CEO John Legere or other executives about the numbers. The company skipped its quarterly call, publishing a video message from Legere instead amid widespread speculation about merger negotiations between T-Mobile and its smaller wireless rival Sprint.
"With all the rumors and speculation out there, we decided that we wanted to make sure you all saw and focused on our Q3 results, and not just on the rumors and speculation that seem to fill the news every day," says Legere in the video below, before running through the company's results for the quarter.
Costs from T-Mobile's latest "Un-Carrier" initiative, providing free Netflix subscriptions to new and existing T-Mobile One family plan customers, didn't have a noticeable impact on results. The company said costs from the program would be reflected as a reduction service revenues, which actually rose 7 percent overall to a record $7.6 billion in the quarter.
T-Mobile raised its outlook for customer additions for the full year, saying it now expects 3.3 to 3.6 million new customers, vs. a range of 3 to 3.3 million previously.
Verizon reported quarterly earnings last week, including a net increase of 603,000 retail wireless postpaid connections. Verizon Wireless revenues were $21.6 billion for the third quarter, a decline of 2.4 percent but still more than twice T-Mobile's revenue for the same period.
AT&T reports earnings Tuesday, and Sprint reports Wednesday.

Guest Writer: Rosalind Tulloch - Everything Under One Roof
By Rosalind Tulloch
Editor of PosAbility Magazine
Today's world is filled with choices, we are bombarded with different brands of products, clothing, holidays, assistive technology, household goods, the list could go on forever. In addition to the exceptionally wide range of goods available, you then have to decide where you want to buy it from, it is not as easy as just visiting a shop and purchasing the item you want, now we trawl the internet viewing products on countless different websites offering varying discounts, offers or free delivery options and you can read customer reviews and ratings on almost anything.
While I agree that choice and options are always a good thing, it can be hard to know how to make the right decision, especially when it comes down to products and services that are going to play a big part in your independence. Shopping online is simple and generally hassle-free, avoiding the challenge of tackling potentially inaccessible shops, busy streets and public transport, however if you are looking to purchase a larger mobility product it is much more reassuring to get a demonstration and test out the product to ensure it is exactly what you are looking for. This is where attending events and exhibitions like Naidex can be hugely beneficial.
Exhibitions dedicated to independent living bring together companies that provide wheelchairs, scooters, walking aids, daily living aids, accessible holidays, toys for disabled children, beds, kitchens, homelifts, stairlifts and so much more, all under one roof in an accessible venue.
At PosAbility Magazine we have been attending events like Naidex for years and it is clear to see the benefits for visitors. The opportunity to see the products, to touch them, test them out and ask as many questions as you can think of is invaluable. After all you are speaking to the experts in these products so what better way to reassure yourself that you are making the right decision.
What's more, many organisations do special promotions and offers at exhibitions to attract more customers so you may find you secure yourself a great deal!
My one piece of advice to visitors would be to plan your day. These exhibitions are vast and busy and it can be an ambitious plan to get around in one day if you are keen to look at everything. Some people make an overnight stay out of it to ensure they can make the most of the exhibition without tiring themselves out too much. Take a look at the Naidex website to see what companies are attending. If there are specific products or companies you want to speak to take a note of their stand number so you know where you are going when you arrive. You will more than likely be side-tracked by other innovative offerings but at least you will have a plan of where you need to end up!
I will be on stand N3143 with PosAbility Magazine, I look forward to seeing many of you there.

Millionaries Match:The Los Angeles Lakers fire Mike Brown, who never should have been there in the first place
Mike Brown ,a millionarie man.
What sort of franchise hires a coach without at least discussing the prospects and candidates with their team's best player and the league's most headstrong star?
What sort of team hires a coach who routinely failed to make headway with his top star at his previous spot, sliding him into a role that even the legendary Phil Jackson couldn't handle toward the end of his run?
What kind of team watches as the coach cheerily embraces an offense that doesn't utilize typical point guard roles even after the franchise swings a trade for one of the finest point guards in NBA history?
[Related: Lakers fire coach Mike Brown after 1-4 season start | Photos]
What kind of franchise blames the coach for the fact that the triptych of Steve Blake, Steve Nashand Pau Gasol combine to put together perhaps the league's worst pick-and-roll defense at the two most prominent pick-and-roll positions, looking the other way when the hoped-for salve in Dwight Howard can't overcome the rustiness and pain that is obvious to anyone tuning in with standard-definition TVs?
What kind of team fires a guy on a game night?
The Lakers fired Mike Brown after a 1-4 start to his second season in charge of the team. (AP)It's the Los Angeles Lakers, chippies; and for all their front-office brilliance in acquiring some of the finest players of the last 16 years to lead them to their 17th title, they also blew it with the hiring, embracing and eventual firing of coachMike Brown. USA Today's Sam Amick reported on Friday that the beleaguered coach will be glared at no more, at least during games, as the Lakers have sent the former Cavs head man and Spurs assistant packing just five games into an outright failure of a season.
It's the Lakers at their best. Completely doing everything right and terribly all at once. Mike Brown was the wrong hire, to be sure, and the wrong guy to lead this team all along. But because the Buss hubris extended to declining a solid shot for Kobe Bryant-favorite Brian Shaw to take over in 2011 (because of Shaw's connections with Jackson, an influence deemed too unsettling for the insecure Buss family), and into the realm of the absurd as they demanded a more productive start from a top-heavy team truly missing a good chunk of its top parts, Brown is somehow turned into a sympathetic figure. Fired on a game day, with just hours to go before the Lakers tip off against the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, with interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff scrambling to put it all together.
Cable TV — and not the blogosphere, which has been pretty heady in its analysis mainly because they have Internet access — has prattled on for over a week about the Lakers' iffy offense, and the attempts to worm facets of the Princeton playbook into the Lakers' scheme. On the surface, Brown's interest in the offense seems a sound move; mainly because there really is no Princeton playbook, just a series of reactions based off of solid spacing and quick but deliberate movement. To a quotemonger, though, the idea was off — you don't take the ball out of Steve Nash's hands, you don't walk the ball up.
[Related: Top five potential coaches for the Lakers after Mike Brown's ouster]
The problem is that the Lakers weren't walking the ball up. The team's 23rd ranking in possessions per game had more to do with their defensive issues than anything else as they took the ball out of the net. The team is seventh in offensive efficiency this season, an improvement over last season's 10th showing and an impressive showing considering two things:
1). Steve Nash has played just 50 minutes, all season. Steve Blake, his replacement, has had a miserable season.
2). The team turns the ball over on nearly 18 percent of its possessions, good for 29th out of 30 teams so far this year. That might damn Brown's offensive schemes all to hell, but to rank seventh in the NBA in offense in spite of giving the other team the rock on nearly a fifth of your possessions? That's remarkable stuff.
It's the defense, dummies. It's that miserable defense that was apparent from the start, with Nash and Gasol (two of our favorites at anything, ever) losing their way amongst quicker guards and big forwards, with a still recovering Dwight Howard unable to cover all the open spaces. The next coach will be the beneficiary of Howard's eventual defensive recovery (anyone can dunk, as Dwight has made over 67 percent of his shots on the season; but not everyone can hedge and dissuade three different opponents from easing into an easy shot), but for now the Lakers are a mess on that end.
The team ranks 25th out of 30 teams, defensively. It's awful, on that end. We knew it would be mediocre, heading into the season, but this was with an 82-game consideration in mind. With the possibility that Howard might miss the first few weeks of the season. That Kobe might go easy at times, smartly saving himself for June. Knowing that Metta World Peace is perhaps in the best shape of his career, but that being in great shape doesn't matter when every small forward is quicker than you and you can't use your hands to stop them.
Kobe Bryant,many sexy women's dream lover,
and the Lakers have the worst record in the Western Conference. (AP)And the Lakers, because they're the Lakers, waited five games. Again, Mike Brown was the wrong coach, but only the Lakers could turn his deserved dismissal into something this pear-shaped.
Mike Brown's intelligence is off the charts. He's a perfect assistant, mindful and hard-working and well-heeled in hoops knowledge. That doesn't make a leader out of him, sadly, though we rooted for the guy in spite of him delivering some of the most frustrating basketball we've ever seen, wasting LeBron James and Kobe Bryant's time over the years. Sometimes assistants need to remain assistants, and while this is harsh, understand that the Lakers have gone from sixth defensively during Phil Jackson's final year (one that saw the Busses giddy to push him toward Montana in the hours following) to 13th under the "defensive-minded" Brown to 25th this year. The players are to be blamed for the lack of execution, but it's not like we don't have a pattern going on here.
[Photo gallery: Mike Brown fired in second season with Lakers]
This will be the ends justifying the means, assuming the Lakers choose the right replacement. Brown had to go. All this handwringing in the second week in November won't mean a thing once Howard has his sea legs back, and Steve Nash helps Kobe Bryant re-discover what a brilliant player Pau Gasol can be when he's put in the right spots. This is a low point, for the Lakers, but one they have 77 games and a playoff run to work their way out of.
For now, though, it's the final kiss-off on the Busses' great lost year of 2011. One in which they fired low-level employees just to keep the payroll tidy, dismissed longtime scouts without the benefit of an explanation, and treated the notoriously pouty Bryant as if he were training camp fodder in choosing the leader that would have to guide Kobe through the most stubborn seasons of his career.
This probably won't serve as a wake-up call to Lakers ownership. Hell, far from it. They'll just back into another championship or three, leaving us wondering why they couldn't find it in themselves to appreciate what Phil Jackson — 2011 sweep at the hands of the eventual champs or not — did for them.

Italy has asked all Non Governmental Organisations working from its ports to rescue migrants at sea to sign a code of conduct.
Here is the text of that document in English:
1CODEOFCONDUCTFORNGOsUNDERTAKINGACTIVITIESIN MIGRANTSRESCUEOPERATIONSATSEA
Migration pressure on Italy does not seem to diminish and indeed is even more impressive than last year, as recognized by the Institutions of the European Union and its Member States. In this context, the main objective of the Italian Authorities in rescuing migrants is the protection of human life and the rights of the people, in full respect of international conventions. Nevertheless, the rescuing activity cannot be separated from a reception path, sustainable and shared with other Member States, in accordance with the principle of solidarity referred to in Article 80 of theTFEU.
On the occasion of the Informal meeting of the Justice and Home Affairs Ministers, held on 6th July in Tallinn under the Estonian Presidency, the EUs Interior Ministers welcomed the initiative of the Italian authorities to ensure that NGOs vessels involved in Search and Rescue (SAR) activities operate within, and abide by, a set of clear rules, in the form of a code of conduct to be urgently finalised by the Italian authorities, in consultation with the Commission and in cooperation with the relevant stakeholders, including theNGOs themselves. The Italian initiative was also included in the Action Plan on measures to support Italy, reduce pressure along the Central Mediterranean route and increase solidarity submitted by the European Commission on 4th July.
The Italian Authorities and the signatoryNGOs carrying outSARactivities thus share the need to provide for specific arrangements to address the 2 complexity of rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea, in compliance with this Code of Conduct, also safeguard the security of migrants and operators.
TheNGOs that subscribe to this Code of Conduct undertake the following commitments:
- in accordance with relevant international law, commitment not to enter Libyan territorial waters, except in situations of grave and imminent danger requiring immediate assistance and not to obstruct Search & Rescue by the Libyan Coast Guard: with a view not to hinder the possibility for the competent National Authorities to intervene in their territorial waters, in compliance with international obligations;
- commitment to respect the obligation not to turn off or delaying the regular transmission times ofAIS(Automatic Identification System) andLRIT(Long Range Identification and Tracking) signals, whenever on board (Chap. VSOLAS): in order to ensure safety of navigation and security of vessels, including those not involved in the search and rescue event but navigating in proximity of the area, where the event itself takes place;
- commitment not to make communications or send light signals to facilitate the departure and embarkation of vessels carrying migrants, without prejudice to the communications that are necessary in the course ofSARevents to preserve the safety of life at sea: with the intention not to facilitate contacts with migrant smugglers and/or traffickers;
- commitment to communicate to the competentMRCCthe technical suitability (regarding the vessel, its equipment and the crews training) for rescuing activities, without prejudice to the applicable domestic and international provisions regarding seaworthiness of vessels and other technical conditions necessary to operate ships:NGOs are requested to be equipped with instruments and resort to personnel whose technical suitability and capabilities in mass rescue operations under all conditions are ascertained. This is required in order to guarantee their professional know-how in rescuing activities. Such a commitment concerns, inter alia, the need for providing the ships master with proper information on stability, on- board reception capacity, individual and collective safety equipment, crews specific training and relevant capability certification, security aspects, on board hygienic and habitability conditions, preservation capacity of possible corpses. All of the above is without prejudice to the provisions of Article IV (force majeure cases) and Article V (people transportation in emergency situations) ofSOLAS;
- commitment to ensure that whenSARcases occur where no officialSRRis established, the ships master immediately notifies the competent Authorities of the flag States for security purposes and theMRCCcompetent for the nearestSRRas better able to assist, except in case the latter expressly refuses or doesnt respond : information to the flag State qualifies more as a commitment, while notification to the competentMRCCrecalls an existing obligation of international law; commitment to respect the obligation under international law to keep constantly updated the competentMRCCor theOSC(On 4 Scene Coordinator) appointed by the latter as to the ongoing scenario and the developments of rescuing operations, as well as all the information regardingSARor navigation security;
- commitment not to transfer those rescued on other vessels, except in case of a request of the competentMRCCand under its coordination also based on the information provided by the ships master: after the embarkation of survivors,NGOvessels should as a rule complete the operation by disembarking survivors in a safe port under the coordination of the responsibleMRCC, except in situations recalled above;
- commitment to ensure that the competent Authorities of the flag State are constantly kept updated on the activities undertaken by the vessel and immediately notified of any relevant event concerning maritime security, in compliance with the principle of flag State jurisdiction underUNCLOSand other applicable rules of international law;
- commitment to cooperate with the competentMRCC, executing its instructions and informing it in advance of any initiative undertaken independently because it is deemed necessary and urgent;
- commitment to receive on board, possibly and for a period which is strictly necessary, upon request by the competent National Authorities, judicial police officers for information and evidence gathering with a view to conducting investigations related to migrant smuggling and/or trafficking in human beings, without prejudice of the ongoing humanitarian activity. The above is without 5 prejudice to the exclusive jurisdiction of the flag State on the vessel underUNCLOSand other applicable rules of international law, to the competences of the shipmaster and to the different mandates and competences of the legal entities involved as provided under national and international law, with which police officers do not, and shall not, interfere: allowing access on board of their naval assets, upon request by the competent National Authorities, of police personnel who will conduct preliminary inquiries and investigations, also following specific indications by the competent Judicial Authority;
- commitment to declare, in conformity with legislation of the flag State, to the competent authorities of the State whereNGOis registered, all sources of financing for their rescuing activity at sea and to communicate, upon request, such information to the Italian authorities, in accordance with the principles of transparency;
- commitment to loyal cooperation with the Public Security Authority of the migrants intended place of disembarkation, including by transmitting relevant information of interest for investigation purposes to the Italian Police Authorities, within the respect of international refugee and data protection law and of the different mandates and competences of the legal entities involved as provided under national and international law,: such an obligation will result, by way of example and not limited to, in a commitment to provide at least two hours before the arrival at the port the documents that should be completed during the phases of rescue and journey to the port, after the primary assistance activities i.e. the maritime incident report (summary document of the event) and the sanitary incident report (summary document of health situation on board);
- commitment to collect, during the activities, once migrants are rescued and if possible, the makeshift boats and the outboard engines used by migrants traffickers/smugglers and commitment to immediately notify theICC(International Coordination Centre) of the Triton Operation; the coordinatingMRCCshall anyway be informed on the aspects relating to navigation security and pollution risks: such a commitment is an important way of cooperating with the EU Triton Operation and the competent national Authorities against traffickers and smugglers, as well as with theMRCCfor information on navigation security and pollution risks.
Failure to subscribe to this Code of Conduct or to comply with the commitments set out therein may result in the adoption by the Italian Authorities of measures addressed to the relevant vessels, in compliance with applicable domestic and international law and as required in the public interest of saving human lives while guaranteeing shared and sustainable reception of migration flows.
Any failure to comply with the commitments set out in this Code of Conduct will be communicated by the Italian Authorities to the flag State and to the State where theNGOis registered.

15.1 Representatives must be given adequate training and have sufficient scientific knowledge to enable them to provide full and accurate information about the medicines which they promote.
15.2 Representatives must at all times maintain a high standard of ethical conduct in the discharge of their duties and must comply with all relevant requirements of the Code.
15.3 Representatives must not employ any inducement or subterfuge to gain an interview. No fee should be paid or offered for the grant of an interview.
15.4 Representatives must ensure that the frequency, timing and duration of calls on health professionals and other relevant decision makers in hospitals and NHS and other organisations, together with the manner in which they are made, do not cause inconvenience. The wishes of individuals on whom representatives wish to call and the arrangements in force at any particular establishment, must be observed.
15.5 In an interview, or when seeking an appointment for one, representatives must at the outset take reasonable steps to ensure that they do not mislead as to their identity or that of the company they represent.
15.6 Representatives must transmit forthwith to the scientific service referred to in Clause 25.1 any information which they receive in relation to the use of the medicines which they promote, particularly reports of adverse reactions.
15.7 Representatives must be paid a fixed basic salary and any addition proportional to sales of medicines must not constitute an undue proportion of their remuneration.
15.8 Representatives must provide, or have available to provide if requested, a copy of the summary of product characteristics for each medicine which they are to promote.
15.9 Companies must prepare detailed briefing material for medical representatives on the technical aspects of each medicine which they will promote. A copy of such material must be made available to the Medicines andHealthcare Products Regulatory Agency and the Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority on request. Briefing material must comply with the relevant requirements of the Code and, in particular, is subject to the certification requirements of Clause 14.Briefing material must not advocate, either directly or indirectly, any course of action which would be likely to lead to a breach of the Code.
15.10 Companies are responsible for the activities of their representatives if these are within the scope of their employment even if they are acting contrary to the instructions which they have been given.
Clause 15 RepresentativesAll provisions in the Code relating to the need for accuracy, balance, fairness, good taste etc apply equally to oral representations as well as to printed and electronic material. Representatives must not make claims or comparisons which are in any way inaccurate, misleading, disparaging, in poor taste etc, or which are outside the terms of the marketing authorization for the medicine or are inconsistent with the summary or product characteristics. Indications for which the medicine does not have a marketing authorization must not be promoted.Attention is drawn to the provisions of Clause 9.9 which prohibit the use of the telephone, text messages, email, telemessages and facsimile etc for promotional purposes, except with the prior permission of the recipient.Clause 15 Contract RepresentativesCompanies employing or using contract representatives are responsible for their conduct and must ensure that they comply with the provisions of this and all other relevant clauses in the Code, and in particular the training requirements under Clauses 15.1, 16.1 and 16.3.Clause 15.3 Hospitality and Payments for MeetingsAttention is drawn to the requirements of Clauses 18 and 22 which prohibit the provision of any financial inducement for the purposes of sales promotion and require that any hospitality provided is secondary to the purpose of a meeting, is not out of proportion to the occasion and does not extend beyond members of the health professions or other relevant decision makers.Meetings organised for groups of doctors, other health professionals and/or other relevant decision makers which are wholly or mainly of a social or sporting nature are unacceptable.Representatives organising meetings are permitted to provide appropriate hospitality and/or to meet any reasonable, actual costs which may have been incurred. For example, if the refreshments have been organised and paid for by a medical practice the cost may be reimbursed as long as it is reasonable in relation to what was provided and the refreshments themselves were appropriate for the occasion.Donations in lieu of hospitality are unacceptable as they are inducements for the purpose of holding a meeting. If hospitality is not required at a meeting there is no obligation or right to provide some benefit of an equivalent value.Clause 15.3 Donations to CharitiesDonations to charities in return for representatives gaining interviews are prohibited under Clause 15.3.Clause 15.3 Items Delivered by RepresentativesReply paid cards which refer to representatives delivering items to health professionals or other relevant decision makers should explain that there is no obligation to grant the representative an interview when the items are delivered. This is to avoid the impression that there is such an obligation, which would be contrary to Clause 15.3 which prohibits the use of any inducement or subterfuge to gain an interview.Clause 15.3 Health Professionals' Codes of ConductThe General Medical Council is the regulatory body for doctors and is responsible for giving guidance on standards of professional conduct and on medical ethics. In its guidance, the GMC advises doctors that 'You must not allow any interests you have to affect the way you prescribe for, treat, refer or commission services for patients' and 'You must not ask for or accept – from patients, colleagues or others – any inducement, gift or hospitality that may affect or be seen to affect the way you prescribe for, treat or refer patients or commission services for patients. You must not offer these inducements'.The General Pharmaceutical Council is the regulatory body for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The Council's Standards of conduct, ethics and performance state 'Do not ask for or accept gifts, rewards or hospitality that may affect, or be seen to affect, your professional judgement'.The Code of the Nursing & Midwifery Council, Standards of conduct, performance and ethics for nurses and midwives, states 'You must not abuse your privileged position for your own ends' and 'You must ensure that your professional judgement is not influenced by any commercial considerations'.
Clause 15.4 Frequency and Manner of Calls on Doctors and Other PrescribersThe number of calls made on a doctor or other prescriber and the intervals between successive visits are relevant to the determination of frequency.Companies should arrange that intervals between visits do not cause inconvenience. The number of calls made on a doctor or other prescriber by a representative each year should not normally exceed three on average. This does not include the following which may be additional to those three visits:
Representatives must always endeavour to treat prescribers' time with respect and give them no cause to believe that their time might have been wasted. If for any unavoidable reasons, an appointment cannot be kept, the longest possible notice must be given.When briefing representatives companies should distinguish clearly between expected call rates and expected contact rates. Contacts include those at group meetings, visits requested by doctors or other prescribers, visits in response to specific enquiries and visits to follow up adverse reaction reports. Targets must be realistic and not such that representatives breach the Code in order to meet them.
Clause 15.8 Provision of Summary of Product CharacteristicsThe requirement to provide a copy of the summary of product characteristics can be met by the provision of an electronic copy if the recipient agrees.If discussion on a medicine is initiated by the person or persons on whom a representative calls, the representative is not obliged to have available the information on that medicine referred to in this clause.
Clause 15.9 Briefing MaterialThe detailed briefing material referred to in this clause consists of both the training material used to instruct medical representatives about a medicine and the instructions given to them as to how the product should be promoted.

A long time ago I told you I would post about cleaning schedule options I have used for the mommy years. Before I begin the practical suggestions here, I want you to know that I probably only use a structured house work routine half of the time. The other half of the time I just clean whatever needs the most attention. I will say, however, that I prefer the housework schedule for one main reason: when I'm finished my work for the day, I'm finished. When I'm not using a schedule that whole "always-something-else-to-clean" thing drives me crazy and it feels like there is never an end to the house work to be done.
I love change and become bored without it, so I have changed between the following methods over the years.
1. Floor of the House Approach. This approach designates a floor of the house for each day of the week. My schedule (when I use this approach) looks like this:
Monday: menu planning, grocery shopping
Tuesday: main floor
Wednesday: upstairs
Thursday: main floor
Friday: basement
Saturday: laundry catch up; change sheets (honestly, this doesn't happen weekly for the kids because they sleep on top of their made bed with blankets 🙂 ).
Each of these floors gets vacuumed, dusted, and the bathroom cleaned on the day that it falls on. Mind you, I have kids old enough to do these chores, so if it sounds like too much, just modify it. My upstairs and basement only get dusted monthly at best. You may not need to vacuum as much either. We have burgundy carpet throughout (not my choice, but actually rather pretty) so the main floor could be vacuumed everyday. But because it's not on my list everyday, I don't feel the pressure to do it.
2. Chore of the Day Approach. Like the ladies of old, this designates a certain chore to certain days. I haven't used this for a while now, so I'm a bit rusty, but the schedule may look like this:
Monday: errands, grocery shopping
Tuesday: laundry, ironing
Wednesday: Bathroom cleaning day
Thursday: vacuuming day
Friday: dusting day
Saturday: laundry, scrub kitchen floor
3. Major Cleaning Day. Honestly, I used this more before I had children, but it might work if you have a friend to take the little guys for a while so you can do some serious cleaning (maybe a tradeoff thing). Simply maintain your home during the rest of the week. You probably want to keep up on laundry and keep things picked up at the end of each day. Then, one day a week do the whole nine yards: vacuum what needs it, dust, scrub some bathrooms, etc. If you're not a perfectionist, you could probably do this in a couple of hours…as long as it's basically picked up before you get started.
4. Default Mode. This is what I always default to, which I'm fine about. Basically, consider the schedule for the week. Am I going to be near Aldis anytime? Will Jason be out of town? Am I hosting a meeting? Are we going out of town? After considering the schedule, I will decide what days are best to do whatever. If I'm having a meeting, my emphasis for housework will be on the floor that the meeting is on. If Jason is out of town, I might do more organizational-type stuff and let the rest of the house suffer a bit. If I'm going to be near a store like Aldis or BJ's I might just run in real quick rather than have an official grocery day. If we're going to be out of town and the kids are staying at home with a sitter, my emphasis will be laundry, and freezer meals. You see what I mean? It is less scheduled, so more things fall through the cracks – like dusting the basement…but I'm not a cleany-type, so that's fine with me.
When my children were little, this work around the house mostly happened when the kids were sleeping, or when they were watching videos. Otherwise, it was interrupted a lot…which is fine if you're expecting that it may take all day to dust one floor.
One last thing. When I was first trying to grow in the area of home management, a friend of mine and I decided to coordinate our cleaning schedules. We would call once in a while to see if the other had done the chores for the day. It was fun knowing that I wasn't alone in my efforts, and the accountability/commaradary was great.
What is your approach to housework?

I am referring not to a political position nor to a moral position even though those two positions seem often to be on collision courses each with the other. I am referring to making right turns while driving.
Woody Allen in one of his wonderful seventies films remarked that California's only cultural accomplishment was our ability to make right turns on red lights. That was then. This is now.
First of all, making a right turn on a red light is not mandatory. Second of all, the decision of whether or not to make the right turn on the red light should be based upon the judgment of the driver in the car positioned to actually make the turn and not on the impatience or compromised impulse control of the driver in the car five or six cars behind the lead vehicle. Unfortunately, there seems to be a misunderstanding on this matter. Either that or commuters are so fed up with traffic that just about anything is not only permission but a mandate to honk, scream, and ultimately flip off other drivers.
For example. Yesterday I happened to be that lead car at the red light. I was in a lane which allowed me to turn right and, in fact, I hoped to turn right. However, since the other light directing other traffic and equally impatient drivers was green, those drivers had the audacity to actually go through the intersection. I wasn't driving the old red Jeep but, instead, the old grey Saturn. What little height advantage the Jeep might have provided was unavailable. The vehicle to my left was either a portable three story office building or a really big all terrain truck of some sort. My bet is on the portable three story office building because I'm sure I saw one passenger undergoing dental surgery while the driver waited for our light to turn green. Each time I inched forward to see if there might be a break in traffic sufficient to allow me to make my cultured California turn on the red light, the office building also inched forward always completely blocking my view. The vehicles in back of me ranged in size from tour buses to small universities. Each driver had a far better view of the traffic than did I and each driver felt no need to even hesitate in communicating to me the all clear get your ass into the intersection before I crawl up it horn blowing and screaming messages with which those of us who do not drive buildings to and from work are all too familiar.
Here was my problem. Because I couldn't see past the dental tools, I refused to make my turn. Besides, I never noticed a break in the traffic until their light turned red and mine turned green. At that very moment, I made my right turn. And just seconds later the driver who had crawled up my ass extricated himself, whipped around me with skidding tires, shouted some obscenity with which I was not familiar, and stuck his entire arm out of his window to either flip me off or hit me. So absorbed was he in this teach me a lesson lunatic behavior that he lost control of his car, spun in three complete circles, ultimately regained control and sped through a red light failing to notice the only motorcycle police officer employed by the La Verne Police Department. When you're the only such officer on the force, you've got to prove yourself constantly, I suppose, because within seconds the red lights were flashing and the behemoth so recently up my ass was pulled over to receive a ticket. As I drove by I did not honk my horn or yell obscenities. I did, however, have a really good laugh.
Many years ago my Aunt Thelma decided after some vehicular stress or other, to never again make a left turn. She spent the rest of her driving life always getting to her destinations making only right turns. I think the mere act of plotting out her daily courses probably gave her enough brain exercise to stave off dementia. Who knows what would have happened to her had she lived in California. I'm thinking where she lived there was probably a law prohibiting right turns on red lights.
Those were the days when life was simple.

No More Right For Me

The same thing happens to those of us who don't drive rolling buildings, when we need to make a left turn and don't possess Aunt Thelma's ability to think several right turns ahead. I would love to see horns outlawed on cars. Either that, or a sign that would light up on the back of my car saying "STUFF IT, STUPID."

As a long-time journalist, Karen writes nonfiction for young people with the belief that nonfiction brings context to a complicated world. She is particularly fascinated by social change, how it happens and why.
As a financial writer, she aims to write from the consumer's and investor's point of view, trying to answer their questions, cut through the marketing hype and arm them with useful insights that will help them make better and more-rewarding decisions.
Karen's Business Biography
Karen Blumenthal has been a financial journalist for more than 25 years.
In more than two decades with The Wall Street Journal, she covered retailing, oil and gas, housing, mergers, and bankruptcies, and was Dallas bureau chief for eight years, supervising a dozen reporters covering an eight-state territory. In that role, she coordinated and edited one of the Sept. 11, 2001, stories that won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for spot-news reporting. From 2008 to 2013, she wrote the paper's Getting Going personal finance column.
She has written three financial books for adults and seven nonfiction books for young people. As an author and reporter, she has appeared on the ABC World News Tonight, the Today Show, CNN and the PBS Nightly Business Report.
She is a graduate of Duke University and has an MBA from Southern Methodist University. She and her husband, Scott McCartney, have two daughters and live in Dallas.
Karen's Biography for Younger Readers
I have always loved reading and writing. And I feel very lucky to be able to make a living doing just that!
As a kid, I spent a lot of time at my Dallas Public Library branch, falling in love with the humor of Beverly Cleary and the entertaining sports stories of Matt Christopher. I devoured the two newspapers my family got every day, and as a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, I wanted for a while to be a sportswriter, something that very few women did in those days. (Later, I would discover that I much preferred being a fan than interviewing athletes!)
In elementary school, I was a nerdy, obnoxious kid with thick glasses. My favorite book was Harriet the Spy. I'm pretty sure that her outsider's view and her secret note-taking planted some seed that led me to journalism.
In high school, I was a nerdy, obnoxious kid with contact lenses. I was editor of the school yearbook, played cello in the orchestra (badly) and had part-time jobs, first at Kentucky Fried Chicken and then selling dresses at a local department store. (I still much prefer fried chicken to dresses!)
Eager to explore beyond Texas, I went to Duke University in Durham, N.C. Because I had a fondness for numbers and an interest in business, I thought I might become an accountant. Then I wandered up to the newspaper office and ended up pretty much moving in. Over my four years there, I became the editor of The Chronicle and found the two loves of my life—journalism and my husband, Scott.
After graduation, The Dallas Morning News hired me as a suburban reporter. After a while, I moved to the business-news section, where I could put my economics major to work. A year or so later, I joined the Wall Street Journal's Dallas bureau.
There, I covered retailing, including Wal-Mart; technology, energy and other beats and became an editor. Thinking I might like to work in the business world, I attended classes at night and on weekends, earning a master's in business administration. But I couldn't leave the words behind.
After leaving for two years to be business editor of The Dallas Morning News, I returned to the WSJ and was Dallas bureau chief for eight years. I left my full-time WSJ job at the end of 2006, but continued to do work for the paper, including writing a regular personal finance column from 2008 to 2013.
Somewhere along the way, frustrated with the nonfiction available to my daughters, I decided to try my hand at writing for young people, combining my interest in storytelling with the journalist's practice of telling complicated stories in a clear way.
When I'm not reporting, writing or researching, I like to bake, needlepoint, read and cheer loudly for the Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks, Duke Blue Devils, and the Texas Rangers. As a true believer in the power of reading, I volunteer with the Friends of the Dallas Public Library and serve on the Dallas Municipal Public Library Board.
Scott and I have two daughters, now grown, and we still live in Dallas. But we've found that reading and writing can take us almost anywhere we want to go.

Nominal retail sales in the US bounced to +3% y/y end of 2016. Sales should accelerate in 2017-18 thanks to boosted household consumption and recovering retailers' pricing power. Yet a rise in import costs could offset the fiscal stimulus's benefits.
Publicly listed retailers deleveraged in 2016. Net gearing was down to 95% (-15pp vs. 2015), while EBIT recovered at around 8%.
The groceries segment has been so far spared by most of the disruptive impact, unlike Apparel and Electronics the main victims of restructuring and failures.


text: Share: Comments Print February 1, 2014 at 6:47 PM The math of the proposed city workers' minimum wage increase Posted by Letters Coordinator The article estimating the cost of paying a minimum wage of $15 an hour to city workers at $1 million ["$1M price tag tied to paying Seattle city workers $15/hr," Local News, Jan. 28] lacked an important thing: the proportion of that figure to the total city budget. According to the City Budget Office's website, the proposed 2014 budget is $4.4 billion. It's a little difficult to work out all the zeros on my little calculator, and maybe on yours too, but it looks to me like that $1 million would amount to 0.02% (rounded), or two hundredths of 1 percent. $1 million is a big scary number. Two hundredths of 1 percent, not so much. It would have been much more helpful in informing the public to have included this context. If you wanted to do a little more work, you might find out how much increasing the budget by this amount would cost each Seattle taxpayer. My off-the-cuff guess is, not so much.

Homebrew as in the Homebrew Channel from the Wii. 2 years ago I met the famous and quite legendary composer of the music from the Homebrew Channel in Tokyo, This year we met up again and I got my hands on a unreleased version of this track which was meant for the installer.

If we look into our past, we will recall situations that once brought us thoughts and emotions of anxiousness, anger and resentment, that we now deal with in a more peaceful and productive manner. The same type of situations may occur today, but thanks to our life experience, our reactions and attitudes towards them and ourselves are now more calm, positive, loving and productive. We have simply learned that there are better ways of dealing with these types of situations. A more experienced and mature attitude, has now brought us greater feelings of compassion, peace and understanding. Looking back, we see that the ability to choose peace in such situations had always been available, and that it was simply the way we looked at, reacted to, and interacted with them, that needed seasoning.
Today, let us practice, better understanding and having appreciation for, our past self. Today, when thoughts of our past and past self enters our minds, let us realize how much we have grown because of him or her, how much wisdom and knowledge we have accumulated thanks to him or her, and with this understanding, let us offer him or her our gratitude. When you are judging your journey, because we have co-created it with God, you are judging God as wrong. True peace of mind and joy can not be achieved when you are constantly unconsciously judging God, your Source, with anger, as incompetent or wrong. Today, look upon your past self with gratitude, and awaken to the realization, of all he or she has gone through and overcome, to help you become who you are now.
All glory to God.
Peace, Health, Happiness, Love, Laughter, and Light.

Meukow VS 90 Cognac
The Meukow VS 90 Cognac is a wonderful over-proof cognac (45%) that makes it ideal for many different situations. Enjoy as a base for your favorite cocktail, or simply enjoy it neat - a great way to enjoy this complex yet harmonious blend that's characterized by its power and aromatic persitance.
Although it's technically classifed as a VS quality, the blend is aged for well over the amount of time you'd generally expect for a cognac of this quality. And the presentation is stunning - in a jet black bottle with the classic pouncing panther emblem of Meukow.

About Meukow Cognac
As the name suggests, Cognac Meukow is one of the few Russian Cognac brands in the Charente region. In 1862 two brothers were sent over to France to supply the Tsar with Cognac and decided to start their own Cognac distillery.
The brand has become known as the "jaguar liquor", or the "panther liquor", thanks to its distinctive bottle design. The big cat in question is in fact a puma, and today, with its famous logo, ranks among the most well-known Cognac brands in the world. Its qualities are strength, elegance, sensuality and exotism, the character traits of the puma.
The distillery is housed in Matha in the Charente Maritime, and are particularly celebrated for their VS Cognac, Vanilla Cognac liqueur and 90-Proof Liquor among many others.

I've decided that for the next year and a bit I will start to focus more of my time on a variety of artistic studies rather than aiming for completing works that I'm not happy with. For example in this first post I did a landscape study.
All the studies I will be doing are all based off reference, which you can find on my Pinterest.
Here are some examples of future studies I hope to:
- LP (landscape practice)
- PP (portrait practice)
- AP (animal practice)
- CP (colour practice)
- OP (object practice)

I sleep-a lot. Now, my definition of "a lot" has changed over the years. "A lot" in high school meant sleeping until noon, maybe even later. Why my mother let me do that is still beyond me. However, according to this research I am about to 'blog', maybe I should now thank her! "A lot" is now relative to how many hours others get compared to me. Still, I think my slew of former roommates would agree that I take sleeping to another level. I mean, I am OUT solid for eight hours every night. In the college dorms, I totally missed a fire alarm. I am NOT joking. I have slept through hurricanes and tornadoes. Thunder does not phase me, and things that keep others awake like the television, kids, lights, and to-do lists only challenge me to sleep better! For the record, I always win that challenge.
Suffice it to say that we have probably all heard the ol' rule: "Doctors recommend eight hours of sleep per night." Parents are inundated with regulations and warnings related to how much sleep a child needs. Children are oh-so-deprived of superfluous slumber parties, instead usually succumbing to their rooms at a time likely not chosen by them. Well, a study* performed at the University of Chicago Medical Center actually showed that suppressing deep sleep decreased insulin sensitivity, thus reducing glucose tolerance. In non-medical-jargon-because-this-means-nothing-to-me English?
If you do not sleep long enough and sleep well , you are risking developing type 2 diabetes!
This group has previously published** that the amount of sleep played a role in glucose tolerance, but now they are reporting that the quality of that sleep matters too! Most people have heard of the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep. This stage is preceded by non-REM (NREM) sleep in 4 distinct stages***. Stages 1 and 2 are the "light" sleep where one drifts in and out and can be easily awoken. Stages 3 and 4 are where I excel! Sleep is so deep that brain waves are extremely slow (called delta waves), and this is the cycle where some sleepwalk, nightmares occur, and being awoken is difficult. In this study, the scientists kept their subjects sleeping but used a method of acoustic stimuli delivery to prevent subjects from ever entering stages 3 and 4. They measured glucose and insulin after regular sleep for two nights and suppressed deep sleep for three nights and re-measured. Comparing the results, they found this reduced glucose tolerance and decreased insulin sensitivity.
Pretty relevant and interesting. Lucky for me, I sleep absurdly well. In fact, if there was an award for who sleeps the best, I'd win. I mean, not that my sleep is cocky or anything. It's just that my sleep knows it can rock diabetes. That's all. (There's your shout out, Catherine!)
So for all of you chocoholics, you should exercise. But, if you don't, at least sleep. And sleep well.

Most of the appeal of this Donald Margulies play is in the upper-crust Berkshires home this family of actors has created. The ceiling doesn't leak during summer downpours, the doors and windows remain open because no baddies are around to pilfer or maim, and the highest level of anxiety its members confess, at least openly, is the difficulty in memorizing lines for their Williamstown Theatre Festival starring roles. What Halcyon days.Daniel Sullivan directs here as smoothly and crisply as the script calls for. The lolling conversations pass by pleasantly, and the timing-critical moments play well, particularly at the Act 1 curtain's visual joke. But it seems a long slog to get to that joke, probably because of all the exposition required to set up characteristics of and relationships among the characters.
These personages include matriarch Anna (Blythe Danner), who devoted her life to the theater, likely ignoring both her children, one of whom died one year before this gathering. Anna's surviving son, Elliot (Eric Lange), simmers in self-loathing and survivor's guilt. His sister left behind a husband, Walter (David Rasche), and daughter, Susie (Sarah Steele). Two outsiders mess further with the dynamic: flirtatious actor Michael (Scott Foley), who's here because his rental doesn't smell quite right, and Walter's new fiancée, Nell (Emily Swallow), whose presence galls the still-grieving family members.
The script's relationships, and quips, evoke Chekhov's plays. Elliot, deeply in need of his mother's attention and affection, has turned from nonworking actor to first-time playwright. He had been in unrequited, perhaps even unsuspected, love with Nell more than a decade before. Susie is remarkably dour for one so young, dresses in dark colors, and falls for inappropriate men, but she has a wry sense of humor very much on display. And by the end of the play, the grande-dame Anna may be "moved" to acknowledge the feelings of her child and perhaps even her own.
John Lee Beatty's set is comfortable and aspirational. For those of us not from the area, however, the appearance of shingled walls inside the house is puzzling. Also, here's hoping joint producer Manhattan Theatre Club's sightlines are better than the Geffen's, because actors can't be seen here when they're lounging on the floor downstage.
Emotions swirl within the characters, some gently revealed to and some violently thrust on startled recipients. Sullivan keeps a steady hand on the actors, so by the end of the evening, much like with Chekhov, we're not sure whether we've seen a comedy or a drama. There's not a fake moment with this skilled cast: No one forces the laughs, and all live fully and truthfully in that delicious house.
"The Country House" plays through July 13 at Westwood's Geffen Playhouse. It's located at 10886 Le Conte Ave. (across from UCLA). Performance times are Tuesdays through Saturday at 8 p.m., Matinees are Saturdays at 3 p.m. and

Cherry Blossoms at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens
This morning I joined over twenty other photographers from the Loudoun Photo Club for a field trip to Meadowlark Botanical Gardens to capture the blooming Cherry Blossoms. We had beautiful weather. Here are a few of the images I captured. I would appreciate any comments.

Gorgeous color! Sounds like a fun time. I esp. like the zoomed one -- is that pp, or in camera? I also really like the first one, although I might clone/crop the tiny bit of shore in the lower left.ReplyDelete
Thanks Angela. Good catch on the corner of land in the 1st image. The third one is an in-camera zoom. I wish I would have done more stuff like that while I was there.ReplyDelete
Very nice! Much better than my pics! I like the zoomed one too, and I also like the one two pictures down from it. BTW, I like the new blog look.ReplyDelete
