Those shocking, sickening, outrageous photographs in full.
Apparently William and Harry are "deeply saddened" by the decision by an Italian magazine and newspaper to print photographs of their mother as she was receiving medical attention in the car which was to be her last but one resting place. That's fair enough, considering that few people would like to see their loved ones in their death throes. What isn't fair is what everyone's favourite Diana conspiracy theorist has to say:
Mr Al Fayed said the publication of the photos represented a "heartless pursuit of money".
"It makes me sad and angry that a magazine would reproduce an image of the princess as she clung desperately to life," he said.
"The editor and the author, who probably have families of their own, have no thought for the feelings of those who loved the princess, first and foremost her sons, Princes William and Harry."
Al Fayed would know a lot about heartless pursuits of money, seeing as he tries to pay as little tax as possible through offshore havens, and how he recently for a couple of years decamped to Switzerland, purely for tax reasons. Nevermind that though, the phony pharaoh also thinks that the magazine editor and author have no feelings for Diana's sons. This would of course be the same Mohamed Al Fayed who thinks that MI5/6 conspired with the Duke of Edinburgh to kill Diana and his son Dodi, for various reasons which are all laughable. Thanks to Al Fayed's persistence, huge amounts have been wasted on an inquiry which is set to find that Diana died because err, her driver was drunk and she wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
The Sun doesn't have a leading article on the photographs, which is probably for the best (it instead supports Israel's right to bomb anyone it likes anywhere) seeing as only 3 years ago it had no qualms about showing Marc Vivien Foe in his death throes on the front page. They seemed to forget that he had played for Manchester City - prompting 400 complaints to the Press Complaints Commision. More recently it printed the notorious photographs of American lawyer Katherine Ward committing suicide by jumping from a building, resulting in the PCC hardening its line on stories involving suicide, due to the fear of copycats. If you want to go even further back, you can bring up the Hillsbrough tragedy - with the Sun delighting in graphic photographs of fans meeting their end, while at the same time alleging that some fans had picked pockets of victims, urinated on the police officers and beaten one up who was giving the kiss of life, none of which was true. Sales have never recovered in Liverpool as a result.
Are these photographs shocking, sickening, outrageous and disgraceful then? Err, no not really. Maybe you'd like to compare and contrast the photographs with others taken in the last few days, the story of which has been pushed off the tabloid front-pages by Diana and her obsessives:
Lebanese child victim of Israeli attack on the village of Dweir.
Another Lebanese child killed in Dweir.
Other children killed in Dweir, here being taken to the funeral in the town of Nabatiyeh, south Lebanon. 10 were killed in total when an Israeli missile hit their house.
Palestinian child lies in the morgue of a hospital in Rafah. He died despite being allowed into Israel for treatment, after being badly wounded in an Israeli missile strike.
Wounded Israelis after Hizbullah launched rocket attacks in response to Israel's airstrikes across Lebanon.
Israeli soldier Nimrod Cohen being laid to rest. He died after the inital Hizbullah cross-border attack which killed 7 more soldiers, with 2 others being captured.
Does anything else need to be said?

Boyum IT B1 Productivity Package - SAP® Business One Add-onSmooth, User-friendly platform for SAP® Business One
The B1 Productivity Pack will initially feature the following modules, with numerous further modules to be added subsequently:
B1 Print & Delivery
Crystal Report is the worlds most used reporting system and now it is available to all SAP® Business One users. SAP® has acquired Business Objects who are behind Crystal Report, which means that SAP® has gained the user friendly interface to Business Intelligence which was needed.
B1 Print & Delivery is advanced Crystal Report integration enabling users to email Marketing Documents and Account statements from SAP® Business One via Outlook, saving them eons of time and briefcases of money.
By activating one Crystal Report, users can manage all Marketing Documents making the B1 Print & Delivery the ideal tool to customize your customer's system in a quick, easy and profitable way.
B1 Print & Delivery can take over the entire document handling process for sales and purchase documents. You have the option to control each of the delivery methods (Print, show, Email, PDF and add document). You can also work with multiple layouts of different business partners or on the fly choose a different layout.
Each single action you can do with a report can be customized in details with the powerful report action configuration. You can set up individual actions or group them together in a multi-action (Example: print and email with one click). And in the future even more actions will be included.
B1 Document Manager
B1 Document Manager (B1DM) is a tool for companies wishing to monitor their attached files more closely (e.g. ISO certifications) and enrich them with associations to SAP® projects, profit centers, documents etc.
B1DM enables you to administer documents outside SAP® Business One on a designated server, but you can still find these documents in SAP® Business One.
This is made possible by B1DM's highly configurable keyword system which allows users to create predefined and custom search-terms for files located in business partner and item folders. By doing so it is possible to search for specific documents that are placed inside the SAP® Business One database AND in a designated folder on a server.
B1 Budget
In SAP® Business One you can make budgets on accounts. With B1 Budget you can now also make budgets on Customers and Items and run Budget reports detailing Management and Sales. This means that users can easily see which part of the business are on budget and which parts are not. Customer budgets and Items budgets can be made on Customer/Item group level and/or directly at Customer/Item level.
B1 Time Task
B1 Time is, quite simply, a Time Registering module. Users can create "tasks" and assign one or more employees to register time against these tasks. Based on the time registered, customers can then be invoiced in one run.
When a task has been created and assigned to the specific employee(s), the time time spent on the task can be registered. This is easily achieved using a worksheet which displays tasks relevant to each user when they are logged in to SAP.
The billing procedure makes invoicing customers quicker and easier than ever before. When running the billing wizard within a specified date range, users are provided with a full overview of future invoices.

Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions
April 17, 2020
The current economic instability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has raised questions around the world about how best to approach bank capital requirements and the resulting implications for bank dividend policies. This statement provides an overview of the existing regime in Canada.
All of the countries represented on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) have agreed to a set of minimum standards for bank capital requirements. Member countries can go beyond those minimum standards, and most of them do. These departures from the minimum standards vary across countries, and lead to some important divergences in bank capital regimes.
Canada has earned a reputation for strong adherence to international banking standards. At the same time, Canada has also earned a reputation for "going its own way" on bank capital while respecting the international minimum standards. To ensure consistency with international standards, OSFI undergoes regular third-party reviews through the BCBS's
Regulatory Consistency Assessment Programme (RCAP). OSFI has had
two assessments in the past decade under the RCAP and each time it received the highest rating. This balanced approach has served Canada well in the past and will continue to serve us well in the future.
As we entered this exceptional period, OSFI had already developed a capital regime that required Canada's largest banks to have a strong capital base. The capital regime is multi-layered and includes minimum capital levels, a Capital Conservation Buffer, a surcharge for large banks and the Domestic Stability Buffer (see Figure 1). The first two elements are modelled on the international standards set by the BCBS, while the last two elements go beyond and are specifically adapted to Canada's circumstances.
Since the financial crisis in 2008, OSFI increased the minimum requirements for both the quantity and quality of capital, including building up capital buffers. Larger banks are subject to the Domestic Stability Buffer, and since 2018, OSFI has reviewed the setting of it
at least twice per year. Similarly, smaller financial institutions are also subject to buffers, such as the Capital Conservation Buffer. The Domestic Stability Buffer is countercyclical by design as it requires reserves to be built-up in good times so that when risks materialize, banks are able to do more than just absorb losses; they are also able to continue to support the economy through lending, providing services to customers and paying dividends.
Reinforcing Canada's capital regime started well before this period of uncertainty. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, through the Domestic Stability Buffer, OSFI had required big banks to hold a larger countercyclical buffer than in most other countries. In Canada, the countercyclical buffer applies to a bank's global assets and not just its domestic exposures. When OSFI released this buffer, it was set at 2.25 percent of weighted assets. Even today with the Domestic Stability Buffer set a 1.0 percent of weighted assets, it remains one the largest countercyclical buffers set by prudential regulators globally.
When there are periods of economic uncertainty or a downturn, releasing capital buffers is the first step in OSFI's contingency plan, as it enables banks to use the funds that had been set aside. To this end, on
March 13, OSFI released 1.25 percentage points, which was about 55% of the Domestic Stability Buffer and at the same time, OSFI prohibited dividend increases and cancelled future share buybacks. OSFI will continue to monitor institutions' capital and liquidity levels and if conditions warrant, is prepared to release the remaining 1.0 percentage points of the buffer.
OSFI has built other contingency measures into Canada's capital regime. Specifically, as banks move through capital layers, there are disbursement restrictions. For example, if sustaining a bank's capital level requires it to access funds that are in the
Capital Conservation Buffer, the bank will be automatically required to restrict disbursements, including dividends and share buybacks. Restrictions for larger banks would apply earlier when its capital levels fall within the D-SIB surcharge threshold.
OSFI has long signalled its expectations that banks use their capital buffer in the event of a downturn or period of economic uncertainty. For example in
2016 and
2017, I noted "…of course, a bank that is using up its capital needs to recapitalize. If this goes on long enough, or happens quickly enough, dramatic measures may be required. But for a bank that starts with capital well above its regulatory minimum, we all need to see the idea of using some of the bank's capital buffer as the normal first step in the process …"
All of this has helped to build a strong capital regime in Canada that is unique and appropriate to our context. Having a robust capital plan is important for the financial stability of the country so that banks remain prepared for severe yet plausible scenarios.

Time for the second Q&A with one of the Audi Star Creation finalists! If you're not sure what this is, read my previous post about the competition and about the Q&As which I'll be posting with each of the 12 finalists every Tuesday and Thursday. I promise you, there's a lot of talent to see here!!!
|Jaslin Ong from Singapore
Name of designer: Jaslin Ong (Singapore)
Age: 21
Name of Collection: Devastate(d)
Age: 21
Name of Collection: Devastate(d)
- What made you participate in the Audi Star Creation? How did you hear about it?
I heard about Audi Star Creation when Textile and Fashion Federation representatives came to give a talk about it in campus last year. I took part because it feels fresh and interesting, and I feel I have a shot at winning it. And of course, the attractive prizes and experience if I stand a chance to win!
- What was the inspiration behind your collection?
My collection, Devastate(d), is inspired by the idea of someone deformed being forced to be a part of a circus freak show simply to satisfy the curiosity of others, as well as the torment they must feel. To illustrate this, I took apart and reconstructed typical garments, inverting pockets, using oversized shapes and off-centre stitching, and turning pants into shirts.
- What new ideas/approach do you think you bring to the fashion scene in the region?
The idea of combining fashion and art to create a more in-depth concept.
- Any Asian designers/labels that you like and look up to?
Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons. I love the way she constructs the garments and how she also focuses on other aspects of the business rather than just the piece itself.
- What would you like to do if you win and who would be your target audience (people in the region, age group, style, etc...)?
Hopefully, I will be able to kick-start my career in the fashion industry through winning the competition and eventually getting spotted by the fashion industry.
I would like to see a career woman around the age of 25 to 40 wearing my designs, someone who is individualistic and has a bold and daring personality. I think local actress, Rui En, fits the bill, based on her personality, and what she wore at the Channel 8 Star Awards and other appearances. One example will be the pantsuits that she wore for star awards last year. However, I think the main focal point is still on her personality.

Latin America is one of the fastest growing and more exciting markets in the personal care industry. Its emergence over the past five years has been impressive, with Euromonitor[1] highlighting that between 2013 and 2017 the region will increase its market share to 31 per cent and will comprise 18 per cent of the global personal care industry[2].
in-cosmetics Brasil, taking place between 30th September – 1st October 2015, is the only exhibition in Latin America that is 100% dedicated to raw materials for the personal care industry. After a successful first ever show last year, it will once again open the gateway for companies looking to tap into the huge opportunities that exist in this market.
The event, based in Sao Paulo, is perfectly placed to position international players on the doorstep of one of the most dynamic markets in the world. Indeed, Brazil itself is leading the charge in the region. It is now the third biggest cosmetics and toiletries market in the world after the USA and China, with its beauty and personal care market forecasted to reach US$55.6bn by 2017 (Euromonitor).
However, it is not just Brazil that has seen rapid recent growth. Mexico, the second biggest market in the region, was last year worth just over US$11bn and is expected to reach US$12bn by 2017. Other markets, although somewhat smaller, are also experiencing exciting growth, with Colombia, Chile and Peru all expected to make considerable strides over the next two years.
There are a number of reasons behind this surge. There has been an increase in disposable income in the region as many countries experience economic growth (mainly thanks to their trade with Asia).This has resulted in an expanding middle class who have more aspirational desires than ever before, more women entering the workplace and an increasing interest from the male population who are more concerned about their appearance. All of these factors have driven a need for more and, importantly, better quality cosmetics than ever before.
The sheer amount of growth and the increasing influence of the region were the reasons in-cosmetics Brasil was launched last year. 2014 saw 2,185 unique visitors looking to source the latest personal care ingredients and formulations from 192 exhibitors representing more than 20 countries. As the only event of its kind in the whole of Latin America, in-cosmetics Brasil is able to attract local formulators and R&D professionals and bring them face-to-face with international and Latin American raw materials suppliers.
Exhibitors at the show have the opportunity to showcase their expertise by connecting with a host of buyers gathered in one place, creating the perfect opportunity to get instant feedback. The first edition of in-cosmetics Brasil last year saw attendees from top cosmetics manufacturers in Latin America including Unilever, L'Oréal, Beiersdorf AG, Procter & Gamble, Sanofi, Kimberly-Clark Corp and GlaxoSmithKline Plc.
Cristiane Dios, Chemical Engineer and Cosmetologist at Bossa Nove, Brazil, a visitor to last year's show said: "I loved in-cosmetics Brasil, it was completely focused on ingredients for cosmetics and that is essential for us. When we go to events that focus on packaging, pharmaceutical ingredients for instance, we are unable to reach the purpose of attending, which is research. At in-cosmetics Brasil, I enjoyed everything I've seen in terms of new technologies, innovative and multifunctional products and primarily natural raw materials, which is what I was looking for."
The show presents the opportunity for exhibitors to find new clients, set up strategic global alliances and develop a significant advantage over their competitors by engaging with the local audience. With 62% of the visitors to in-cosmetics Brasil 2014 holding senior level positions, the quality of discussions and business leads is consistently at a high level.
Exhibition Manager Daniel Zanetti said: "Latin America is going to be one of the most important markets in the personal care sector during the next five years. The recent and ongoing growth is testimony to that, with analysts seeing no let-up in this trend. in-cosmetics Brasil opens up the region to those who recognise this opportunity. We have designed the show to give international players an insight into a buoyant and yet relatively untapped market, whilst providing local companies access to the latest global developments.
"2014 proved what an important role the exhibition could play in this exciting period of growth for the sector in Latin America. We are confident that 2015 will cement this position and provide the industry with an invaluable tool for the coming years."

If you detest mobile phones with mechanical input aka physical keypads then read on. For those that don't; wait patiently (very patiently!) for a review of HTC's next generation TouchDual (touch and QWERTY keypad in one). Till then, feast your eyes on the Taiwanese handheld expert's latest offering – the Touch3G.
A better-trimmed, though slightly fatter, version of 2007's Touch, this Dh2,299 device packs it all.
Its TouchFLO2D interface elegantly masks the rather staid Windows Mobile 6.1 design and runs faster sans icon animations and the like. True to its form, HTC delivers every smart phone application one desires.
Though rapidly headed towards becoming obsolete, operating system Windows Mobile 6.1 still offers capable support for mobile Microsoft Office and Exchange, push e-mail, a PDF reader and the mobile manufacturer's latest addition – threaded text messaging (which is not the only iPod inspiration; there's pinch & zoom and touch scroll too). I reckon if Microsoft doesn't flood smartphones with WinMobile7 soon, HTC's Android phones may become their mainstay once launched later this year.
For those whose phones double as internet devices, the Touch3G does dish out the goods. With quad-band abilities for GSM networks, the phone offers HSDPA data speeds up to 7mbps and WiFi connectivity for free internet freaks.
Its 2.8inch screen permits reasonable viewing, though you are compelled to use its needle-thin stylus for navigation.
If the aim was to build a phone that could function effortlessly on pure touch, then I'm afraid HTC has failed. The few mechanical keys that define the front design are razor thin. The touch scroll feature lacks spontaneity and response. Key inputs for body text still need the stylus for accurate, faster messaging and mailing. And this really is the only area where the Touch3G disappoints.
Of course, there are other aspects that HTC still hasn't resolved. It still provides a miserly 256MB internal memory. Its 3.2 megapixel camera is yet to be given flash and continues to struggle in low light. And its display screen continues to be close to invisible when in sunlight.
Fortunately, they've drastically improved the battery life allowing better use of its inbuilt YouTube, Google maps and RSS news feeds.
Overall, it's fantastic for those with puny fingers and a penchant for tiny, efficient phones.

Shazam! ended the weekend coming in just slightly ahead of the final early tracking. The last report we had gotten was for $50M and it came in at $53.5XM. It was able to secure the top spot at the box office.
When you add in the returns from the previews held prior to release, Shazam! now stands at $56.8M domestic. In the foreign markets, it has taken in an additional $44M, and took in $15.3M on its opening day in China. The overall global total is $158.77M
There are four wide releases next weekend – defined as any movie opening on more than 2,000 screens – so it could be a tough run next weekend just from the amount of competition. The films are Hellboy, After, Little, and Missing Link. Hellboy, of course, speaks to the same demographic of comic fans, and Missing Link could speak to the family viewership demographics.
The big secret to the longevity of any movie at the theaters is how it holds in the second weekend. Unless you come in with a crazy opening weekend – think the openings of hundreds of millions – the rule of thumb is a 50% or less drop means you'll have a decent run. A drop of more than 50% and then you have to study things a bit closer as to what may have caused it.
With an A CinameaScore, good reviews, and strong word of mouth, it's looking as though Shazam! may not set the box office on fire, but it's still going to do quite well.
If you've already seen Shazam!, feel free to jump into the conversation we're having, or learn what the credits scene meant.

When Miranda Brown was a student at George Rogers Clark High, a chemical accident in the science lab temporarily shut down the school.
"A student had brought a thermometer from home," recalls Brown, now a junior Spanish major at Murray State University and member of the progressive grassroots organization Kentuckians for the Commonwealth. "The thermometer broke, and once the teachers found out, they evacuated the building. We went on lockdown … for just one drop of mercury."
Because of Eastern Kentucky Power Cooperative's intention to construct a new 278-megawatt, $819 million coal-fire power plant in Trapp, Ky. — just 10 miles from her hometown of Winchester, and even closer to the region's primary source of drinking water, the Kentucky River — Brown again will be forced to confront the deadly carcinogen, this time on a much larger scale.
"If they had to clear out an entire school for just one drop of mercury," she continues, "then what sense does it make to build a coal plant that will emit far more? I don't think it's worth that kind of risk."
Neither do the dozens of other EKPC ratepayers and environmental activists who spoke out against the power co-op's proposed generating station, dubbed Smith #1, at a recent hearing held by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps has yet to grant the 511,000 member co-op a permit to store coal ash on-site — which is almost exactly like Louisville Gas & Electric's new 14-story ash pond proposed for southwestern Louisville.
"I was heartened by the fact that people from all walks of life turned out to speak about this proposal and why it's such a bad idea," says hearing attendee Wallace McMullen, energy chairman for the Cumberland Chapter of the Sierra Club. "Nursing students, college students, high school students, retired physicians, mothers … a really broad range of people."
As a Louisville resident, McMullen believes urban Kentuckians should care about what happens in Clark County because of the global implications another coal-fired power plant will have on the environment.
"It's going to generate lots of global warming pollution if it's built," says McMullen. "I believe climate change threatens the human habitability of the planet, so we should all care about such things."
He adds that dozens of people spoke for more than two hours against the plant, whereas only two people — one of them an EKPC employee — spoke in favor of it.
Although EKPC claims it needs Smith #1 to meet a growing demand for energy across the 87 counties it services, a sizable body of research — including a scathing audit of EKPC ordered by the Kentucky Public Service Commission — points to the contrary: Reports generated by public and energy policy outfits like the Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies, Synapse Energy Economics and New York-based T.R. Rose Associates unequivocally state that EKPC, its ratepayers and Mother Nature herself would be much better off if Smith #1 was canceled.
Most notably, an analysis produced by the Ochs Center in July 2009 states that if EKPC were to invest in weatherization, energy efficiency and alternative sources of power generation (i.e. hydro and wind), then the beleaguered co-op could not only meet future energy needs, but create 8,750 jobs that would inject $1.7 billion into local economies by 2013 — the same year Smith #1 is slated to come online.
Compare this with the meager 700 jobs the plant will create, not to mention the costs associated with its effects on health and the environment, and the math suggests scrapping Smith #1 is a no-brainer.
"Yeah, I've seen that report and several other reports that were commissioned by these groups," says EKPC spokesman Nick Comer about the aforementioned studies, some of which were prepared for KFTC and the Sierra Club. Comer goes on to dismiss the studies, which was reminiscent of a previous interview LEO Weekly conducted with an EKPC representative last year.
"My impression is that we are and always have been leaders of energy efficiency in this state," EKPC's Kevin Osbourn told LEO in 2009. "We believe that the answer to the challenges in energy are to have a balanced approach, and that includes renewable sources as well as fossil fuels."
Comer echoed his colleague's rhetoric, adding, "That is costly, implementing efficiency programs or building renewable power plants or biomass or whatever option you go with. We continue to be a leader in renewables, but (renewables) aren't going to replace the need for baseline generation."
It's true the company is the de facto leader of green energy in the commonwealth, and that its latest generating station, Spurlock #4, uses clean coal technology.
But consider the type of fuel that will combust within Smith #1's massive boiler unit: Fifty percent will come from the Hazard 9 mountaintop removal mine in Perry County, while the remaining 50 percent will come in the form of "gob," aka "garbage of bituminous" — a nasty mixture of coal waste, tire rubber and supplemental biomass that emits six times the regular amount of mercury than freshly mined, top-grade coal, to the tune of 520,000 tons emitted per year over the plant's projected 30-year lifespan.
In this context, being the greenest energy company in the commonwealth doesn't amount to much when 97 percent of your total generative capacity is derived from discarded Michelins and junk coal.
In an editorial that ran in both The Courier-Journal and The Lexington Herald-Leader on May 16, Kentucky author and farmer Wendell Berry expressed his concern about the dangers Smith #1 will pose for generations to come:
"We know," writes Berry, "that we are not talking here about organic wastes that would eventually degrade into harmlessness. We are talking about permanent poisons such as lead, mercury, cadmium, zinc, selenium, arsenic, thallium, molybdenum and boron — neurotoxins and carcinogens."
For what it's worth, the Environmental Protection Agency agrees with Berry. In a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the EPA wrote that byproducts produced by Smith #1 "would result in significantly more emissions during its lifespan than more environmentally friendly preferred options," and that alternative energy sources and efficiency measures "could reduce or even eliminate the need for new baseload capacity."
Of course, EKPC's intentions don't amount to much in lieu of their financial situation. The aforementioned audit found that EKPC is nearly $1 billion in debt, primarily as a result of building new, increasingly expensive coal plants to compete with LG&E and Kentucky Utilities, and that its management needs to open its decision-making process to the people who pay into the co-op.
To that, Miranda Brown says, "I think that, over the years, the rural electric co-ops have changed dramatically from what they're supposed to be. We need to start empowering people to run for their boards and become part of the decision-making structure, which is how they were originally designed. They're democratic institutions, not like LG&E or KU. They have to answer to us."

Surviving Cold And Flu Season In The Office
As the change of season comes, you start to hear more sniffles, nose blowing and coughing around the office. It can take no time at all for a cold or flu bug to rip through, leading to an increase in sick days and a decrease in office output. It's also no fun being laid up with a nasty cold or flu, so here are some preventative tips to surviving cold and flu season in the office and also create a safe, comfortable workplace for your employees.
Pop up some signs and posters around the office; the key is to educate, not patronise. You want people to think twice before sneezing all over their computer screen and preferably sneeze, or cough into their elbow if they don't have tissues or a handkerchief.
Have your facilities manager or cleaning supervisor check for any drafts or leaks in the building. This can help reduce sickness and create a comfortable environment for your employees. It also pays to check for issues at the start of winter, rather than dealing with a damaging roof leak in the middle of a storm.
Take a look at the air-conditioning for the building too, as winter comes it will need to be adjusted to keep your staff from freezing and walking around wearing their coats. It's surprising just how many buildings leave it too long to adjust the temperature.
Floors, particularly stairs and entry points can become extremely slippy on rainy days, and mud and debris are trodden in. Speak to your cleaner about extra surface cleans in lobby's and reception areas, make sure you have the appropriate wet floor hazard signs and think about installing an umbrella bag system. An umbrella bag system is quick and easy to use, preventing water dripping through the building and staining your office carpet.
Give the office a thorough clean up before winter hits. Ask your teams to dispose of any clutter and have the cleaners defrost and clean all of your fridges. Winter usually means an increase in Tupperware pots and food brought into the office full of soups and warm meals. Think about a clean-out policy where every Friday what is left in the fridge is binned, to stop people eating old food, or fridges becoming over stuffed.
Pop some packets of tissues and hand sanitisers in shared areas of the business for staff to take, not only are you offering a staff benefit, but you will immediately see people using the products regularly, reducing the chance of a nasty bug taking hold in the office. You may also want to consider offering the flu shot too. There are mobile services who offer flu shots and can come to your office.
It doesn't cost much to get your business ready for winter, and your staff will appreciate that you are making every effort to ensure that they don't get sick. If you are time poor, you can even get a 'winter committee' together to implement these initiatives for you, which will also add to the positive engagement from your staff. Just a few minor changes can make a real difference to the happiness and productivity of your employees over cold and flu season!

Led by Pope John Paul II, new expressions of support for Iraq's offer to readmit weapons inspectors were announced by world leaders. And the Baghdad government was following up its initiative by pressuring the UN to "prove its good intentions and its credibility" by protecting the presence of inspection teams and "the length of this mission" from the "hegemony" of the US. Meanwhile, the Security Council was attempting to schedule a meeting with chief inspector Hans Blix to discuss renewed investigations of suspected Iraqi facilities.
A Palestinian terrorist bomber killed himself and a bystander and injured at least three other people in the midst of rush-hour at a bus stop in northern Israel. The incident was the first of its type since Aug. 4. No immediate claim of responsibility for the attack was reported. Aides to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon blamed the bombing on "complete inaction by the Palestinian Authority" to stop terrorism and said the blast justified continued Israeli reoccupation of Palestinian areas in the West Bank. Earlier in the day, Sharon rejected a Palestinian proposal to end attacks against Israeli civilians, saying he'd settle for nothing less than a "total cessation" of violence.
In an apparently major shift in strategy, Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels ended the first round of peace negotiations with the government by dropping their demand for a separate state. Instead, a spokesman said, they want "regional autonomy and self-government." As recently as April, rebel leader Velupillai Prabhakaran said it was too soon to discuss giving up the guerrilla campaign for "eelam," or statehood. An aide to President Chandrika Kumaratunga told reporters the apparent change was welcomed tentatively but that a more formal reaction would await a full study of the Tamil announcement. Three more rounds of talks are scheduled between the end of October and next Jan. 9.
Over the protests of Jewish groups, a French court ordered the release from prison of convicted World War II Nazi collaborator Maurice Papon. He was whisked away to an undisclosed location. The court ruled that Papon, who's in his 90s, is too ill to finish the 10-year sentence he began in 1999. Jewish leaders argue that he has shown no remorse for his actions, and President Jacques Chirac three times has refused to grant him clemency.

Educational Chronicles:
Drug information is the provision of written and/or verbal information about drugs and drug therapy in response to a request from other healthcare providers. The formulation of drug information covers the provision of accurate, unbiased, factual information, primarily in response to patient-oriented problems occurring in the healthcare team.
Considering that different pharmacists from the same pharmacy can formulate drug information differently, it is important to standardize the process and to use a validated technique. The systematic approach to answering drug information questions is a technique used in drug information practice. This technique teaches pharmacy student how to effectively provide drug information.
The pharmacist is relied upon to provide drug information on a daily basis for patients and health care professionals. Performing drug information tasks requires the ability to efficiently search, critically analyze, and objectively evaluate biomedical literature. Pharmacists and pharmacy students need to understand the biomedical literature and use an organized method to answer drug information questions. Understanding the different types of literature and applying the systematic approach assists practitioners in efficiently supplying drug information.
Chat with Professionals:
Fake products: reality or fake news? The Commission representative will provide information on the challenges of falsified medicines in the supply chain of medicines. The scale of the problem, risk for patients, risk in the distribution chain, controls by pharmacists….

The availability of quality and affordable medicines is an important global topic. In Finland, the government has over the years taken many legal steps to ensure the availability of important medicines. In her presentation, Suvi will introduce you to the basics of this legal environment and share her study results. Although it is mostly a national study, pharmaceutical supply issues are increasingly global in their scope. As pharmaceutical professionals, our duty is to do our utmost best to enable patient safety and the continuity of medical treatments.

Title: Depression: the human side of an unknown disease
Date: 18th May, 20:00 CET
Registration deadline: 18th May, 15:00 CET
"Pharmacists: first stop for patients with depression"
Depression is a leading disability worldwide, and it is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease. Although a major progress was achieved in understanding the causes and mechanisms of the depression, the current diagnosis and treatment remain ineffective in delivering medical care for people who suffer from depression. In order to improve mental health services, a broad collaboration is required across the healthcare and social systems, and most importantly the active role of the patient and health care professionals in this process needs to be recognized. Working hand in hand with patients is important for developing effective solutions and providing the adequate help, however direct interaction with the patients brings both opportunities and challenges. During this webinar we will try to understand better these opportunities and challenges by looking at the depression mostly from a perspective of a person with the experience of the condition. We will be asking some important questions about how it feels and look like to live with depression and how to create relationships and environment that can help come up with feasible and effective solutions.
Speakers: Joanna Robaczewska, PhD. EUPATI Fellow, Collegium Medicum UMK, Poland, Hasselt University, Belgium.

You have the dress, venue, cake, flowers and food, plus all of the other details essential to creating the perfect wedding. But if you step back, what's going to be left when all is said and done?
For a lot of couples, hiring a wedding photographer ends up being an afterthought. However, New Orleans photographers Desiree Watkins, Angelena Brocato and Greer Gattuso advise making it a priority.
Watkins, who has been photographing weddings for eight years, said pictures are one the few tangible, lasting tokens of your wedding day.
"It's how your kids and grandkids will connect to you and that day," she said.
But how do you find one who is right for you? Here are a few tips:
Figure out your style and stick to it
First and foremost, find a photographer whose body of work matches your personal style. If you are having an evening wedding in a traditional church setting, for example, do not hire a photographer whose portfolio primarily features sun-filled outdoor shoots, Brocato said.
"You might find our site and love our work, and that's great, but there is only so much we can do within certain conditions. You have to have realistic expectations and take into consideration the season, time of day and venue," Brocato said.
Watkins and Gattuso both recommend utilizing Instagram hashtags to find photographers that mesh well with your personal style.
Venues often provide a list of recommended vendors, including photographers. If you already have your venue booked, they can give you names of people who worked there before and are probably comfortable within the confines of that space.
Ask your photographer if you can see a complete gallery of a wedding that is similar to yours. If they refuse and only show you a highlight reel, that might be a red flag, Brocato said.
"If they only want to show you a collection of their favorite photos, there's probably a reason why," she said.
Organize, plan and schedule
Before hiring your photographer, determine what you hope to achieve with your pictures. Whether you want a more stylized album or you'd prefer to focus on the emotional moments of the day, come up with your ideal list of shots. Most photographers will send you a questionnaire that includes a rundown of images, so start thinking about which moments are most important to you.
"I want to document your whole day and to me that means lots of candid images and those raw moments you just can't plan," Gattuso said. "But I also want to make sure you get the photos you want."
Having a detailed timeline of the day is helpful and lets your photographer know when they need to be focused on your shot list, and when they can work on candid images.
"If the planning was done right, everything will come together," Brocato said. "Let us do our thing so you can be present and connected on your special day."
Communication is key
Your wedding photographer is not just the button-pushing extension of a fancy camera. They are artists, documentarians and experienced professionals, with whom you will spend a lot of time.
"It just makes everything easier when you get along and can communicate well," Watkins said.
Don't be afraid to ask questions, especially when it comes to the contract and cost. After all: "You get what you pay for," all three photographers said.
Quality photography is not cheap, but it is well worth the cost. According to Gattuso, a photographer's rate reflects their experience, which is key. "Some people get caught up in the price, but there is a reason for that price. The amount of experience a photographer has will make all the difference, I promise," she said.
Read your contract carefully, take note of what is included in your package and have a conversation with your photographer about not only the images you're looking for, but also the tangibles that may or may not come with it. Not every package comes with prints or albums, so make sure you know what you're paying for.
Book early
This one's a biggie. New Orleans is a huge market for weddings, both local and destination, so make sure you are planning ahead. Gattuso, Watkins and Brocato all said they typically book up about a year or more in advance, so if you have your heart set on one photographer, do not wait. Know your top priorities; it could be worth it to talk to your photographer before even setting a date.
Have fun
Not everyone likes having their picture taken, but if you find the right photographer with whom you're comfortable and one who understands your style, you'll be much more likely to loosen up and have fun, which will translate into beautiful, genuine photos you'll treasure for the rest of your life
