The Japanese language has this tricky thing known as "counters." With counters, certain things have certain "counters" that you use to count them. For example, you don't just say "one dog," you say "ippiki 一匹", which refers to one small animal. To say the least, there are a lot of counters, and sometimes even Japanese people have trouble remembering what goes with what (which is why there are some more "general" counters you could fall back on, if you needed).
Still, counters are a ton of work. After you've learned the more basic Japanese counters, it ends up coming down to experience if you want to use them correctly after that. Sadly, most of this experience comes over a very long period of time. You see a thing, you see someone count that thing, and then you get a little closer. There just isn't a resource out there that shows the counter with a list of things that can be counted in this way. I'm hoping to fix that with this guide.
The Things We Count
This obviously doesn't cover everything, but I wanted to show you a counter, then give you a list of things that are counted using said counter. You'll notice that many of these things have multiple counters associated with them, and that's okay. In fact, it should give you more idea around context. For example, you'll see "soba" being counted a bunch of different ways. It can be counted using 本 (because each individual noodle is a long, cylindrical object). It can be counted with 束 because it can be bundled together into bundles. It can also be counted with 丁 because it is a serving of food. As you look at the counters, make sure to think about these items in context. It will help a lot when you're trying to make sense of certain less-obvious examples.
Anyways, I hope this guide will help to make counters less abstract. I know that there is a lot of information here, but if you come back when you have a counter you're not totally sure of and look them up one at a time, you'll slowly begin to understand the counters as a whole, and perhaps you'll even begin to contextualize things a bit too.

Please Be Warned
As you go through these, not all of the counters will be the ones you're looking for. Try to think about the context of why something is using a counter when it is. Just because it's listed under a counter doesn't mean it's the most appropriate way to count that item all the time. There is a lot of crossover depending on the state of the thing, so only experience will help you to understand that.
Instead, I want you to look at this list the opposite way. You should have some knowledge of a certain counter already, then come here to look at all the examples for that item. By looking at examples, it should give you a better idea of how that particular counter works on a whole.
There are also plenty of other counters and things to be counted that haven't been included in this guide. Like… a lot of them. Be sure to go out into the world and experience them as it's the only real way to become familiar and comfortable with Japanese counters. It won't be easy, but I hope this guide helped!
I got some help on this guide from:

Twilight star goes platinum blond
One of the Twilight hotties just debuted a drastic new haircolor. Excuse us while we mourn the loss of his sexy hair.
One Twilight star just did an awful number on his hair – and it's taking away from his hotness. Calm down: We're not talking about Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner – it's Cam Gigandet.
Gigandet showed up at WonderCon in San Francisco this weekend to promote his new movie, Priest. However, the buzz wasn't about the movie – it was about Gigandet's bleached hair!
"I went to sleep one night," Gigandet told MTV News. "And I woke up, BOOM, gone."
Yeah, no. What really happened?
"It was just for fun. I just needed something different," Gigandet elaborated. "My sister does hair and she's great at it, but this is the first I've ever trusted her to do something."
And his verdict?
"This is kind of the first day that people are finding out. It's only been a couple of days, but we'll see."
Gigandet isn't the only celeb to make a major hair change – Justin Bieber, Jennifer Aniston and Brooklyn Decker all recently cut their hair, much to the dismay of fans.
Yeah, we think Gigandet's dirty blond locks fit him perfectly, so we're not really into the unnatural blond. It might grow on us after awhile though.

In the film, the zombies having taken over the world and those left alive are confined to a walled-in city that keeps out the corpse corps. Anarchy rules the streets, with the wealthy insulated and living in fortified skyscrapers. The drama revolves around a group of scavengers who must thwart an attempt to overthrow the city while the dead are evolving from brainless slow-moving creatures into more advanced creatures.
The web has been buzzing about the recent announcement that the next entry in the Dead series was a "go" and now the Horror Channel has a little article up speaking with the man himself, George Romero, where he reveals more details on the project. Check it here.
Writer/Director George Romero spoke with HorrorWeb recently, revealing info on this film and various other past and future projects. When speaking of this film the following was revealed: South Africa is another location that they're looking at; this will not be the last of the Dead series as long s he's alive; lastly he varified that the film would most likely be cut for the theatrical release, but get unrated version for DVD.
He was also quoted saying he'd love to have Tom Savini have a role in the film and "love to give him maybe a special zombie, if Greg [Greg Nicotero - FX artist] would let Tom do one particular character or something that would be great, but I need to clear that with Greg."
He then went on to say how he'll need a little CGI in the film in certain sequences, like one needing to show the audience a large number of zombies together, and also to "take half a zombies face off". You can read the whole interview here.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette posted an article in the paper speaking of the production and how it may really come to them when it's time to begin filming. Romero was quoted saying: "Obviously, I would love to do it here. It's written for here." Former Pittsburgher and president of Atmosphere Entertainment Bernie Goldmann also added "we'll make the decision in the next couple of days."
He then went on to say... "I think George has written a great script. He's updated the whole 'Living Dead' series. He's a great guy, a great director. He created the genre, and it's great to work with the master." The project is tentatively set with a budgeted at between $15 million and $20 million, and the story revolves around a time when the world has been overrun by zombies and what remains of the civilization has retreated into wallad communities. Romero went on to say... "It's about ignoring the problem. The protagonists are commandos who have to go out where the zombies are to bring in food and supplies." You can read more on the article and how everyone seems enthused about it possibly being shot in Pittsburg here.
Variety revealed a lil' more details on the project -- Production is set in October in either Winnipeg or Pittsburgh (original location for the previous films). The above plot is the official one posted on Variety.
The title has been changed from Dead Reckoning to Land of the Dead. Also, writer/director George Romero spoke with Fango recently, revealing that the project is being financed independently with one "big-name producer" attached. He then went onto acknowledge the lack of freedom he'll have with this film compared to the previous two, saying...
"The producers want major distribution, so I�m sure that the first release version, in this country anyway, will have to be R-rated. I don�t think they�ll want to go NC-17. But they�re gonna let me shoot the film the way I want to, and they�ll let me do the cutbacks for release. Hopefully the fans will still show up, and then see the [unrated] edition later on video."
He hopes to have the film rolling in October.
Things have been brewing recently on the status of this project and whether it'll actually happen. There were rumors a while back that this was grenlit and Romero was putting Diamond Dead aside to work on it, but that was false. Though, there is some small truth behind it, because according to Producer Andrew Gaty at the official Diamond Dead website, he mentions that Romero's project may be moving forward and they have to decide which to work on first -- they can do one in October while another can begin next Spring.
Director George Romero recently talked with the UK-horror mag Shivers about this film saying... "I think Dead Reckoning could be the best Dead film I've ever done, but everyone in Hollywood's obsessed with doing Teenage Horror films and it's tough to raise financing, even for someone with a track record like myself, and everyone who's read Dead Reckoning loves it. It's a story about a class struggle amidst the zombie apocalypse with the rich and the poor living opposite each other - the haves don't want to be exposed to the zombies and they don't want to share their community with the have-knots. The Dead Reckoning is this monster truck that the hero of the story travels around in. Maybe if Dawn of the Dead's a hit, it will help my film get made." Thanks to CC.
George Romero is currently doing revisions for the script. Nothing else new, but at least we know he's still workin' on it.
Rumors have been going around that Fox has picked up the rights for the film. There has been no official word about it yet and it's still unclear if it will go direct-to-video or have a theatrical release.
N/A Date
Its been reported that that at this year's Fangoria Weekend of Horrors, George Romero said... "I do have a script at Fox for a fourth zombie film, which looks like it's going to happen...It's going to be the most expensive one...They're basically going to let me make my film and cut it back for R-rated release." The good news is then the DVD will be the full unrated version of the film which'll be budgeted at about $10 million.

SMI Tutorial > Introduction > Executive Summary
The Storage Management Initiative (SMI) Developer Tutorial conveys information about the SNIA and the SMI. The tutorial introduces the reader to the fundamental concepts discussed in the Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) 1.1.0. Reading this tutorial is by no means intended to be a replacement for reading the SMI-S 1.1.0. However, after completion, one will have sufficient knowledge of the organization of information in the SMI-S to more easily absorb its contents.
First, the tutorial provides background information about the SMI. It describes the motivation for its creation and outlines historical information about the SMI accomplishments since its inception. Next, because the SMI-S 1.1.0 is based upon the Common Information Model (CIM) and Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), the tutorial gives a quick summary of the basic concepts for these open standards technologies.
The tutorial explains the motivation for creating the SMI-S 1.1.0. It briefly describes the previous versions of the specification. Each of the SMI-S requirements are highlighted and explained. Next, the tutorial discusses how to read the SMI-S by describing the organization of information. Each major section in the specification is explained.
The contents of each Profile and Subprofile are summarized. The tutorial describes the purpose for each Profile or Subprofile. After reading each description, the reader will understand the major components that are managed. The tutorial also identifies the some of information that are exposed and the some of management operations that can be performed. However, to get information about all of the CIM elements in the Profile or Subprofile, one must read the SMI-S 1.1.0 in detail. The reader can easily navigate to the particular Profiles or Subprofiles of interest by traversing the navigation links at the top of the page
The final sections of the tutorial show the various resources that the reader can consult to find additional information. The last section is a list of questions and answers that will help to reinforce the information contained in the tutorial.

About Me
Howard Berliner
Serving Baltimore, Parkville, Towson, and Surrounding Areas
I moved to Baltimore in 1987 from West Palm Beach, Florida where I was the manager and also the credit manager for a national firm. The company selected me to help transition a local Baltimore drug warehousing firm into the family of a nationwide entity. I arrived in Baltimore, was stood-up by the real estate agent and purchased my home from the agent after fences were mended. We stayed in contact and I eventually married the real estate agent in December 1991.
In 1994 a corporate decision was made to build a regional warehouse in New Jersey that served New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. My wife grew up in Baltimore, and she emphatically commented she would not move. I retired with more than 25 years of service and became a realtor. I joined her in marketing her business. We became a very successful real estate team specializing in the distressed property market. Our top year as a team produced 300 listings and sales.
My wife passed away after an illness and I now work alone;
• I've been an agent for 22
• I participate in C.E.'s and webinars to continuously build the business and stay on top of the market
• My service area includes
• Anne Arundel County
• Baltimore City
• Baltimore County
• Harford County
• Howard County
• PG County on request
• Talking with me will impress you with my efficiency and how laid-back I really am
• My hobby and a passion is photography. I have started doing HDR photography marketing and am working on mastering virtual tours. I have a professional photographer as part of my team. The photographer is based in Glen Burnie and he does virtual tours and other marketing pieces.
• Outside of real estate I am an active associate member of the Providence Volunteer Fire Department and a member of the Board of Directors for the department.
What else do you want to know about me?
• "I get the job done quickly and efficiently"

Embattled actress Amanda Bynes has fallen victim to cyber criminals after her Twitter.com blog was hacked while she remains under doctors' care in a psychiatric facility in California.
The Hairspray star was rumored to have been granted Internet access on Saturday (31Aug13) after a random message reading "I love Drake" popped up on the micro-blogging site in an apparent reference to the rapper she has both praised and savagely criticized in bizarre online rants in recent months.
However, her attorney, Tamar Armanak, has been quick to set the record straight about the tweet, insisting Bynes has not been allowed to log on since she was hospitalized for mental health issues in July (13).
Armanak tells RadarOnline.com, "Amanda's Twitter account has been hacked. She is at the UCLA Medical Center with no access to phones or computers."
Bynes was recently transferred to UCLA from a facility in Ventura County, California at the request of her mother Lynne, who was named temporary conservator of her daughter's estate last month (Aug13) when her hospital stay was extended for another 30 days.
Meanwhile, Armanak has also distanced Bynes and her family from any association with publicist Jonathan Jaxson, who has been offering up comments about the star's health progress to various media outlets.
The lawyer tells Eonline.com, "Jonathan Jaxson does not represent the Bynes family or Amanda. We are not sure why he is commenting on Amanda's health care or representing himself as a publicist hired by her family. Amanda's family continues to be devoted to their daughter's well being."
Jaxson previously hit headlines in 2011 after former client Kim Kardashian filed suit against the spokesman for making false claims about her alleged attempts to gain media attention in the wake of the reality TV star's split from husband of 72 days, Kris Humphries.

For her London Fashion Week show, luxury accessories designer Anya Hindmarch brought her collection to life in a whimsical, Willy Wonka-esque theatrical installation.
The fantastical catwalk for accessories was created with the help of Dior couture set designer, Michael Howells. Entitled 'All I've Ever Wanted', the set featured a conveyer belt with clutches opening and shutting like oysters, musical wind-up handbags and explosions of sweets and confetti.
The set was inspired by Hindmarch's children's favourite toy, 'The Christmas Machine', where presents go in and come out magically wrapped. The designer wanted to embrace that childlike sense of excitement and packaged the whole collection like toys. The individual accessories take design cues from the classic Quality Street tin of chocolates. Hindmarch even developed sparkly leather to mimic the bright foil wrappers.

Prepado instantly pulls the best questions for your position, and continues to add new questions as practice interviews are created.
Charleston, SC (PRWEB) January 08, 2014
Prepado, an interview preparation tool for job seekers released by SPARC, has taken their platform to the next level releasing an iPhone® and iPad® app designed for iOS 7 with in-app video capture to allow users to view and assess their interview performance. The app syncs with existing Prepado accounts to provide a streamlined experience for new and current users.
Major elements of the application for both the iPhone and iPad include:
Interview Builder: Simply tell Prepado the job title for which the candidate is interviewing and it pulls the perfect practice questions.
Video: In-app video capture allows candidates to record themselves while answering interview questions that can be played back and evaluated.
Design: The user experience is clean and engaging, and can be used to navigate between individual questions and practice interviews.
Prepado has thousands of interview questions that are submitted, rated, and reviewed by real hiring managers and interviewers. The interview questions are then organized by category and difficulty so they can be chosen for the appropriate practice interview based on the job title and level of experience.
"Prepado can be used to prepare for any job, from a communications intern to a director of sales or even something very technical like a JavaScript developer. Getting started is easy, Prepado instantly pulls the best questions for your position, and continues to add new questions as practice interviews are created," said Jake Benardot, Product Owner.
In a survey of over 2,000 bosses, 33% claimed that they know within the first few questions of an interview whether they will hire someone.1 Non-verbal communication is almost equally as important as the actual answers in an interview setting. "Watching how you answer real interview questions asked by real companies is a great way to see how prepared you are for a real-life, in-person interview," said Christina Lock, VP of HR & Operations. "I've conducted thousands of interviews, and as an interviewer, your eyes are just as important as your ears."
"In addition to the video functionality, we've also added the ability for Prepado users to share and request feedback from their mentor, peers, or even their friends. Prepado users can invite reviewers via email to review their written or video responses," said Benardot. "Responses are still entirely confidential, but it gives our users the opportunity to get additional feedback before they step into an interview."
Learn more about our interview preparation tools by visiting prepado.com or downloading the Prepado app from the App Store. The first practice interview is free, and a Prepado subscription allows access to run unlimited practice interviews. Job seekers can get started today and crush their next interview with Prepado.

It's that time again where England and Australia prepare to battle it out over five test matches. England start their first warm-up match tomorrow against WA.
Having won in 2009 England are the current holders, but have a much trickier prospect on the dry, hard pitches down under.
Consensus seems to be no likely winner can be predicted early on; England's pace attack are considered better than Australia's in general, but are more suited to swinging wickets and unproven with the kookaburra ball. Swann will need to be dominant to drive England's chances.
Out batsmen are still very inconsistent, but Australia are not without their own problems.
Ponting isn't quite the player he was, Clarke & Hussey are struggling in their careers right now and they're generally considered to be on the downward slide. Their bowlers are also uninspiring.
But...personally I think they'll win the series. England are simply too average away from home and Australia know how to play attritional test cricket in their own back yard, regardless of their decline in recent years. I still believe they have a toughness England don't possess.
England certainly have a much better chance than 06/07, and it will be a closer series, but I'm going for 2-1 to the Aussies. Of course, I'd love England to prove me wrong.

This story has been updated.
The future is unclear for the planners at LearnVest in the wake of the company's deal to be acquired by Northwestern Mutual.
And the outlook seems to depend on whether you talk to the company's leaders or its new owners.
"We are going to have an opportunity to double" the number of planners, says Stephany Kirkpatrick, LearnVest vice president for operations & advice strategy. "We are going to scale extra fast with an incredible partner."
Yet in announcing the deal, Northwestern cited LearnVest's "breakthrough technology" as a top reason for acquiring the firm -- not its planners. And when asked to confirm whether the ranks of planners would indeed grow, a Northwestern Mutual spokeswoman demurred.
"It's premature to speculate on specifics at this stage," she said.
Tim Schaefer, the company's executive VP of operations and technology, said via a spokeswoman that "Northwestern Mutual supports the continued growth of the LearnVest business, which includes planners" -- but did not provide specifics.
One reason for the confusion: It's unclear how many planners LearnVest actually has.
Northwestern's press release pegs the number of LearnVest employees at 150 and a LearnVest spokeswoman says it has 60 planners. However, the firm's most recent Form ADV, filed in February, says the firm's employees, including part-timers, number only 45 -- although it says that 43 perform investment advisory functions.
LearnVest did not reply to a question about whether its advisors had equity stakes that would allow them to benefit financially from the deal. The planners were told of the deal in a companywide meeting led by founder and CEO Alexa von Tobel, a LearnVest spokeswoman says.
At least a couple of former employees speculated that the new arrangement would undermine von Tobel's earlier promise that LearnVest planners would "not [be] required to sell."
Sophia Bera, who worked for LearnVest for a year starting in 2012, says she used to pry her LearnVest clients out of unsuitable whole life insurance products that other planners had sold them. Now Bera -- who now runs her own firm, Gen Y Planning, in the Minneapolis area -- fears that the startup could end up selling clients the very same products.
"Now Northwestern Mutual is going to have access to all these emails and all of this contact information for LearnVest's" 1.5 million users, Bera says. "My concern is that it will move from a fee-only program to a product sales with commission sales one."
Nothing could be further from the truth, Kirkpatrick says.
"I have absolutely no concerns about [this]. We believe LearnVest will continue to run independently. There's no plan to change that," Kirkpatrick says. "I trust wholeheartedly in Alexa and John Schlifske, Northwestern Mutual's CEO."
Another current LearnVest planner Rachel Sanborn showed similar optimism. "As a financial planner, Northwestern Mutual is one of the insurance companies that I really respect," Sanborn says.
Meanwhile, at least one rival firm is using the LearnVest deal as a recruiting opportunity. "I WOULD hope that advisors at LearnVest who are concerned about now being owned by a life insurance company would contact my firms," says Ric Edelman, founder of Edelman Online -- another digitally enabled advisory offering aimed at middle-class clients. "We have lots of great opportunities for advisors."

FDA advisers set to review anticlotting drug from J&J, Bayer after staff criticism
WASHINGTON (AP) ' A new anticlotting drug that had been seen as a blockbuster comes under scrutiny by a panel of outside advisers to the Food and Drug Administration Thursday, two days after a negative review by FDA staff.
Johnson & Johnson and partner Bayer Healthcare of Germany are seeking U.S. approval of Xarelto for preventing strokes in patients with a common irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation.
The FDA approved the drug in July for a much smaller patient pool, patients getting knee and hip replacements, a group at heightened risk of dangerous blood clots. Even that approval followed a delay of roughly two years due to FDA concerns about internal bleeding risk.
A 388-page report by FDA staff reviewers, released Tuesday, recommended against approving Xarelto for use in patients with atrial fibrillation, in which the heart's upper chambers quiver ineffectively ' temporarily or for years ' reducing blood flow through the heart.
They wrote that results of a late-stage study of more than 14,000 patients, known by the acronym ROCKET, don't make clear how safe Xarelto is, or whether it's as effective as widely used warfarin. The reviewers stated that an additional study of Xarelto, known chemically as rivaroxaban, is needed, citing questions about potential stroke and bleeding risks, among other issues.
During Thursday's daylong meeting, the FDA's Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee will discuss that data, hear presentations from Johnson & Johnson officials on the drug's effectiveness and safety, ask questions and take comments from the public. The panel then is to vote on whether to recommend that Xarelto be approved for atrial fibrillation patients, and the FDA's Division of Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs is to make a final decision on approval by early November.
Several analysts on Tuesday wrote that the staff review was more negative than they had expected, increasing the risk that the approval will be delayed. When approval comes, some wrote, the label or detailed package insert could be "less generous" than what the makers are seeking, such as not allowing a claim that Xarelto works better than warfarin.
Warfarin is inexpensive and has long been a mainstay of stroke prevention. However, it's very tricky to get the dose right in each patient, so frequent blood tests are required.
Given that about 2.2 million Americans and 4.5 million people in the European Union have atrial fibrillation, multiple drugmakers have been trying to develop alternatives to warfarin.
Bayer Healthcare already markets rivaroxaban in 110 countries around the world. Johnson & Johnson has the U.S. marketing rights.
Eliquis, developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Pfizer Inc., was approved in the 27 European Union countries on May 20. The companies plan to seek U.S. approval later this year.
Credit Suisse analyst Catherine Arnold wrote to investors Tuesday that she continues to expect Eliquis to dominate the category, with peak sales of $5.3 billion and two-thirds of market share by 2020.
Meanwhile, Citigroup Global Markets analyst Matthew Dodds forecasts that about 70 percent of Xarelto's U.S. sales would be for atrial fibrillation patients. Losing Xarelto for that use, or a significant delay, would hurt Johnson & Johnson but likely would only cut earnings per share by 5 cents in 2013, he wrote.
In morning trading, shares of Johnson & Johnson added 2 cents to $65.45.

Hurricane Sandy blamed for bird deaths
Exhausted and starving seabirds showing up on Fla. beaches
FORT MEYERS, Fla. | January 1, 2013
They are just really skinny and really tired
Jessica Bender
Florida wildlife officials say Hurricane Sandy may be the reason exhausted and starving seabirds are showing up on the state's beaches.
Wildlife specialists said 19 razorbills, which normally don't travel any further south than Virginia, have been found on Southwest Florida beaches and taken to wildlife rehabilitation centers, the Fort Meyers (Fla.) News-Press reported Monday.
While razorbills mostly stay between Maine and New Jersey and prefer breeding in Iceland, experts said Hurricane Sandy may have blown the small birds off course and destroyed their food supply, sending them as far south as Florida in search of food.
But the long flight without sufficient food is proving fatal to the birds, they said.
"It's exhaustion and emaciation," Jessica Bender, wildlife rehabilitation specialist with the Conservancy of Southwest Florida said. "They are just really skinny and really tired."
Bender said despite giving them food and rest the birds are not surviving.
Razorbills have never been observed in Florida before, wildlife experts said.
"I'd never seen one before," Bender said. "It's hard to tell what is going on."

The trade union organisation for healthcare managers
helping you make healthcare happen
We give you personal support and employment advice, an influential
voice and management skills to help you deliver high quality healthcare
to patients and the public.
Latest issue of Healthcare Manager is out now where we are rethinking NHS management and looking back at the MiP members' summit
Tue 02 May 2017
The days of hostile bosses looking down their noses at active trade unionists are long gone. As MiP unveils its first workplace reps, Craig Ryan spoke to four leading MiP activists about how union work has helped their NHS careers.
People used to think you had to choose between your career and being active in your union. The time involved and an often-hostile management made it difficult for union activists to excel in their day jobs. But in today's NHS, with employers and unions working in partnership to manage change and improve services, being an activist can actually boost your career – giving you more influence, a bigger and better network and the skills to become a better manager.
"You're operating on a totally different level to what you would be doing in the day job," says MiP national committee member Jeremy Baskett, former relationship manager at Yorkshire and Humberside CSU. Being an MiP rep or link member gives you insight and knowledge that your colleagues will value, he explains. "Senior colleagues, even ones who weren't MiP members, used to come to see me because they just wanted some advice. In the CSU, the managing director would ask, 'any views on what's coming up?'. I'd never have been asked that normally. And that opened doors because when I had an issue I could go back and speak to them."
Ian Haig, director of operations at London's St Bartholomew's Hospital, and a former national committee and MiP link member, finds that union work brings him into contact with parts of the NHS his day job doesn't reach. "I've only worked in jobs in secondary care, but as a union rep I've worked with people in primary and community care, and Scottish representatives working in a completely different system," Ian says. "It aids thinking about things differently."
As an MiP rep, you can influence discussions at system level which you might not otherwise have got involved in. "You get linked into conversations around any changes which might affect senior managers," says Sam Crane, head of urgent primary care and 111 at Aneurin Bevan University Health Board in Wales, and the current chair of MiP's national committee. "I've been asked for advice on the impact for staff of structural change processes, and HR directors have actively invited me to give a first view or be involved with staff in shaping ring-fencing or displacement processes."
Sam also meets Welsh Assembly members and Welsh Government ministers to press MiP's case and discuss developments in NHS Wales. "None of that would have happened to me previously," she says.
Zoeta Manning, commissioning manager at Birmingham South Central CCG and a former chair of MiP, finds being a union rep gives her access to many influential networks, inside and outside the NHS. "Today, I'm coming down to the TUC Women's Conference and I'm chairing the Women into Leadership conference, which I would never have got to do if I wasn't active in the union. I'm also working with the NHS Leadership Academy on improving BME leadership. I suppose people see I have a higher profile and they ask me to do things," she says.
Union work also offers plenty of opportunities for professional development. "MiP are sending me to the HSJ Provider Summit in Oxford to talk about how provider units are developing and how we can help them," says Jeremy. "I also represented MiP at last year's King's Fund Leadership Summit. They were really good opportunities."
As an activist focusing on learning and development, Ian Haig helped to organise MiP courses on presentational skills, problem solving and difficult conversations, among others. "Organising those courses involved another skill set and gave me a different point of view," he says, "building up a network across different trusts, learning about trade union issues and what's going on in other trusts, learning from managers who are in the same boat as you and how to handle things differently."
Working with employers as a union rep also "gives you a different understanding of how the organisation thinks and the opportunity to try to find common ground, either with an individual or with an organisation," Sam says. "You acquire negotiating skills, working with the directors to find the right solution. Before, I wouldn't have been able to have that influence or develop those skills as much."
"I did some training in negotiating skills when I became a link member and found it really useful in my day job as a commissioning manager," adds Zoeta. "Especially as I didn't get any training from the employer!"
MiP reps work closely with the full-time national officer for their region, who is always ready to give advice and take on more difficult cases. There is also plenty of support from chief executive Jon Restell and his team at head office, including training, advice and information, and help with publicity and communications.
"It was incredibly powerful, the way MiP supported me and got me involved in a lot of the national work," says Jeremy Baskett. "I got a lot of insight and personal support from Jon and national officer Jane Carter. They included me in anything that was going on in CSUs and I became the CSU rep on the national committee."
Sam Crane says the national committee has recently agreed a new 'pathway' for supporting and developing workplace reps, and is looking at ways to bring them together at regional level. "We'd like to get everyone together in one room every few months and ask them to share what they've been dealing with, how they've dealt with it and see whether we can share learning." She also wants to introduce some "contact mentoring" for new reps, with coaching and advice from an experienced activist working nearby.
Where MiP has recognition agreements with employers, 'facility time' is available for MiP work, and most experienced reps manage to fit their union activity alongside their day jobs.
Sam says it's important to know when to hand over work to the national officer. "It can take time to understand the issue, but you have to know where the boundaries are and make sure you don't get into things that take up too much of your time or are beyond your expertise."
"Time management is always an issue," adds Zoeta. "But if someone needs a chat and I'm available, I'll go and chat to them for half an hour. No one's going to die, and that member of staff may feel they don't have anyone else to talk to and might be quite distressed. I would say, look at the benefits for the organisation. It's an investment in your staff."
Jeremy Baskett, who led the union side in negotiations on the winding up of his CSU – with 1,200 jobs under threat – found senior managers highly supportive. "We had a whole year of turmoil and I was given more and more time to work on trade union issues because there was so much to do in the social partnership forum," says Jeremy. "I got support from both the trade unions and senior management at NHS England. The experience was hugely beneficial and the job satisfaction I got from it was huge."
"A lot of people think they're going to be victimised for speaking up for their colleagues, but I've only even heard of that happening twice in my whole career," adds Sam. "You have to be careful when there's a conflict – such as your own manager being involved – but you just flag up the issue and hand it over to your national officer."
"I've suffered absolutely no detriment whatsoever," says Zoeta. "I tell senior managers they should be nice to me because they might need me one day! Generally, they are really supportive. People know that if you ask me for my opinion, you'll get an honest answer. And I feel I've earned a reputation as someone who gets things done because of my union work."
