Review by Derrick Carter
Running Time: 2 hours 3 minutes
MPAA Rating: PG for Thematic Elements involving Perilous Situations, and for some Nudity, Language, brief Drug References and Smoking
Directed by: Robert Zemeckis
Written by: Robert Zemeckis & Christopher Browne
(based on the book TO REACH THE CLOUDS by Philippe Petit)
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ben Kingsley, Charlotte Le Bon, James Badge Dale, Ben Schwartz & Steve Valentine
Every year, there are films based on incredible true stories that fall by the wayside. Much like the visually stunning EVEREST and Ron Howard's IN THE HEART OF THE SEA, Robert Zemeckis's THE WALK is a drama that sounds primed for award nominations but likely won't receive any. That's not to say that THE WALK is a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, because it's not. However, the elongated running time and so-so characters are a bit trying on the viewer's patience. At least, this is true for the first half of the film. As soon as the wire goes up though, the movie becomes an incredible cinematic work of art. I imagine that THE WALK plays far better on the big screen than on the biggest TV set you could find on the market. This might be part of the reason for my somewhat underwhelmed reaction to this movie sitting alongside EVEREST as good but not great.
In the early 1970's, performer Philippe Petit made his living through circus-like antics on the streets of Paris. Philippe eventually finds a passion in wire-walking and quickly becomes obsessed with two massive towers that are under construction in New York City. After rounding up a couple of friends to join him, Philippe makes his way to New York and begins to enact a carefully calculated plan to string up a tightrope between the Twin Towers. Of course, Philippe's small coup will encounter turbulence: setting up the equipment will be tricky, guards patrol the building, and the sheer life-threatening nature of his stunt is staggering. Philippe merely wants to perform something beautiful and something that nobody will be able to take their eyes off of.
Director Robert Zemeckis has crafted plenty of great dramas in the past on what it means to be human (FORREST GUMP, CAST AWAY, etc.). THE WALK has a similar sense about showing off what one man can accomplish with the right motivation, incredible vision and unwavering nerve. As Philippe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt essentially becomes a living cartoon character (true to his real-life source of inspiration). He has a charm to him, in spite of being a complete and utter douchebag at times. There's definitely an insane spark in Levitt's performance and he convinces us that this French lunatic is more than willing to risk his own life in order to thrill others (as well as himself). The rest of the performers don't stick out nearly as much. Philippe's team members merely come off as bland means to an exciting end. Besides Levitt's starring role, the only other cast members of note are Ben Kingsley (as a mentor during a handful of scenes) and Charlotte Le Bon (as a half-assed love interest who really deserved more screen time).
THE WALK suffers from a pacing problem in terms of its story. The build-up during the first half of the film is a tad too meticulous, slow, and dusty. One only wonders what Zemeckis could have done to spice up the material a bit more, but then comes to realize that the first half is mainly filler for a two-hour running time. There are good moments, but the first hour mostly feels like forced C-level melodrama. However, all of this changes as soon as Philippe treks to New York and begins a carefully detailed execution of his elaborate scheme. These moments (in which disguises, sneaking around, and lots of special equipment are used) almost feel like a heist thriller where the money is replaced by attention from city onlookers.
Finally, THE WALK reaches its height (quite literally) when Philippe steps out onto the wire. What started off as a C-level melodrama/B-grade heist thriller suddenly turns into an A-grade work of beauty. CGI and green screen are masterfully used to give the appearance that Levitt is really scaling a tightrope over 100 stories high. This final third of the film is incredible and translates the sheer joy that Philippe must have felt in pulling off his highly dangerous and incredible (as well as foolish and insane) stunt. This final act belongs among the best sequences of Zemeckis's career and I can't help but wish that the build-up to them had been more impactful. Still, viewers with a fear of heights are sure to find themselves on the edge of their seats during the stunning finale.
As a whole, there are things to praise about THE WALK as well as flaws that keep the film from reaching its full potential. The 70's New York atmosphere is captured very well with attention to detail and wholly convincing special effects work. Levitt's performance as Philippe is pretty much everything you could hope for and seems true to the real-life figure. The heist-like scenes in which his crew trespass to elaborately set up the equipment are fun to watch and the finale is simply amazing to behold. On a sour note, every other performance seems sidelined and the first half drags at a glacial pace. I wish that the chemistry between Levitt's Philippe and Bon's Annie was given more time to develop as it might have made for a more impactful romantic angle (which feels half-assed in its current state). Pacing problems and unremarkable performances taken into consideration, THE WALK is a good one-and-done kind of film. More than worth a watch for the finale alone, but not a film I'm likely to revisit many times in the future.

Suppose you have requested to send payroll information plus all the data in nearly 48 hours before the check date and then send it to Intuit, before 5 O'clock in the evening. Then only, you can be sure that your employees will get money on time. The day before the check date, Intuit withdraws the money from your account. Thus, the amount will be sent to your employees on the check date.
It is compulsory for employees to fill direct deposit authorization form and then provide a void check for their bank account. It is not a deposit slip. Direct deposit form and void check are both for you to record only. It's not mandatory to submit them to QuickBooks Desktop. On average, It takes around 7 business days to set up a direct deposit, including verifying your company's bank account for security purposes.
Before you use Direct Deposit
Before you use direct deposit, do the following three things.
- Verify your bank account.
- Set up your employee's bank account information in QuickBooks.
Steps to set up direct deposit in QuickBooks Payroll:
Basically, this is a very basic form and generally, you have to fill the primary information to set up direct deposit.
Step 1:
- Your bank's ABA or routing number is a nine-digit number written on the left side of the bottom of your check.
- Check your account number.
- It's compulsory to submit a voided check.
- Address of your bank.
Step 2:
- Firstly Enter the bank account information for your business.
- Confirm and verify the test deposit to your bank account.
- Check your direct deposit status.
- Set up employees for direct deposit.
We hope that with the help of above answer now you are able to direct deposit in QuickBooks Payroll. However, if in case you are unsuccessful to do so then feel free to seek help from our QuickBooks Payroll Support toll-free number at +1-844-405-0907. We provide 24×7 assistance for our QuickBooks user.

Ferry trapped in ice off of Cape Breton finally freed
Digital Reporter
Wednesday, April 5, 2017, 11:22 AM - A ferry that had been trapped in the ice off of Cape Breton was finally freed Tuesday night.
The Marine Atlantic-operated MV Highlanders became trapped Tuesday morning about 300 m from open water after departing North Sydney, N.S., with more than 200 people aboard along with dozens of vehicles.
Marine Atlantic contacted the Canadian Coast Guard and dispatched the ferry MV Blue Puttees from Port-aux-Basque, Nfld., to see if it could clear a path through the ice for the MV Highlanders. Though the Blue Puttees did not become trapped itself, Marine Atlantic spokesman Darrell Mercer told CBC it did briefly have to shut down its engines due to ice clog.

Nevertheless, the Blue Puttees persisted, and managed to free Highlanders Tuesday night.
Mercer pointed to recent strong winds that had pushed up melting sea ice against the coast, a problem also experienced in Newfoundland, which saw marine wildlife trapped against the shore.
"The ice conditions around Cape Breton, we weren't anticipating that there was going to be much of an impact," he told CBC News. "But unfortunately, the wind conditions over the past day or so has increased the pressure around the land on Cape Breton."

Chapter 17: Candle
Now in the shelter together, the strangers and the Chimeras begin to clash until the storm proves to the strangers its power.
[[Previous Chaper]] ---- [[Next Chapter]]
[[First Chapter | Series List]]
"What in the name of every demonic divine are you?!" the man yelled out.
"I am a Chimera, same as the others here," Scout said calmly.
"Is that what you monsters are called?!"
"Fayne, that's enough," one of the armored women said.
"Are you kidding me, Safiena?! We're pretty much locked in a room with these things that we don't even know what in the name of the light they are and I'm the only one who doesn't think they're going to kill us all in our sleep?!"
"If you want to leave, we can always shut the door behind you to save our own asses," I growled. Storm tightened his wing around my shoulders, and Scout gave me a hard glare. I glanced at Rune, who was in the part of the shelter that was dug out of the mountain with the first human man we had met and the girl who hadn't gone with us. They were all watching in silence.
"Fayne, don't you dare," the girl with the glowing fingers said, closing her eyes and leaning against the indoor wall, sliding to the ground. "I have a bad feeling about that dust. And even if you're not willing to trust them, you should know better than to ignore me."
"Even you could be wrong, Princess. With all due respect, you're… not exactly the most talented of your bloodline."
"And you're far from the most tactful in ours," the armored woman said. I noticed that she looked a lot like the armored man, with light blue hair, dark blue eyes, and dark brown skin. The other armored woman had dark green hair and matching eyes, and her skin was a little lighter, almost more golden, than them. Harold had darker skin than anyone else, and curly black hair and light brown eyes; the girl who had stayed behind with Rune and Scout looked like him, but younger, and her eyes were a light, misty green. And the girl who had come with us had somewhat lighter skin than any of them, with a medium bronze tone in her skin, and a much darker bronze in her hair and eyes. They all had more pointed ears than anyone I had seen, and Harold, the girl who hadn't come with us, and the girl with the glowing hand all had metals and jewels on their ears. The light from the girl's hand shined off of the jewels in her ears like a candle. I noticed that she was looking up at me and she smiled a little bit. I looked away from her, back at the armored man as the wind started to pick up, and we began to hear the dust hitting the sides of our shelter.
"What is even happening out there that is so terrifying to you people?" the armored man asked.
"You don't want to know," Scout said.
"It can't be that bad."
I growled. "You can't even imagine, alright?"
"And you, you can't even imagine the types of battles I've fought in my lifetime. Nothing is worse than that, alright, woman?"
I stared at him with my eyes narrowed for a moment.
"Fayne, you need to stop this. Now." Harold spoke up. "If you don't trust them, then trust me, and our princess, on this."
There was a large crack from outside, from the ocean. Suddenly, the humans' faces all seemed to pale.
"...Our boat." One of the armored women whispered.
The armored man shot towards the door and quickly opened the cloth… and was in the doorway enough to block most of the dust from getting inside. Scout pushed the door closed as I grabbed him and forced him back. His eyes were wide in shock, and he started coughing.
"Damn you, Fayne!" The armored woman who looked like him said. She and the girl with the glowing hand rushed to his side. I loosened my grip on him and watched Scout secure the door again before glancing around to see if there was any cloth that wasn't being used. There was dust all over his face. It needed to be cleaned off… desperately. His nose had started to bleed, and he was still coughing. He lifted his hand to his face and looked at the blood on it in shock.
The girl with the glowing hand held her hand over the man's chest, and tendrils of light seemed to reach towards him. Then, they seemed to bounce off of the dust away from him, and the girl panicked.
"My magic isn't helping," she said quickly. She looked around at Scout, and Storm, and then me. "Please help him, I know he was rude but- he's not a bad person." She breathed in deeply and coughed, and the other humans seemed to get even more worried.
"If you have any clean cloth get it out," Rune said. "We have a bucket of water that we can use to clean the dust off of him. Try not to breathe it in, it can get you sick. It's already getting him sick, that can't be avoided now, but we can try to lessen the pain."
Rune carried the bucket of water over to the armored man. Harold knelt next to Rune, and handed him a thin square of cloth that seemed to be folded. Rune took it and started to clean the armored man's face quickly. When it was mostly clean- enough to be safer- Rune handed the cloth to Scout. "We need to get rid of that."
The girl with the glowing hand coughed again, worse this time.
"I feel like my throat's starting to close," one of the armored women said. Rune's ears went back, and I saw the fur on his back raise in fear.
"It doesn't normally take effect this quickly," Rune whined. "I- We have some blackberry leaves, they may help if we burn them, we don't have enough water to make the tea or anything that would help more, we need to wait out the storm…"
I closed my eyes, and leaned against the wall. Storm sank to the ground next to me as another of the humans started to cough.
"I- perhaps it's because we're not used to it," Harold said. His voice was getting rough. "Perhaps given some time our bodies will learn to fight it off, like any other sickness."
"Maybe, but you have to survive that long," Scout said. Harold nodded at him.
"Of course, is there anything we can do…?"
"Rest," I said, narrowing my eyes at them. "Lie down and try to sleep. We'll do what we can to keep the dust out, and keep an ear out for when it dies down and we can get food. None of you will be in any shape to go out for anything for a while."
Rune nodded. "She's right. That's… pretty much all we can do. I'll gather some blackberry leaves and a bowl we can burn them in, that'll clean the air enough and help you all feel a little better hopefully…"
As the sickness began to set into them all more, there was little any of them could do to stop themselves from following my advice, and the rest of us stayed awake, watching the small flames dance across the blackberry leaves.

Influencing the introduction of safer medical devices
Academics: Professor R. Lawton and Dr P. Gardner, Faculty of Medicine and Health
Luer-locks are standard connectors are part of devices that are used to give drugs, feed and also take samples from patients. This standardisation has led to fatal mistakes in some scenarios, such as drugs that should only be injected intravenously being administered into the spine. Following the death of a young man in 2001, and 13 others in the UK over the previous 15 years, the Department of Health called for prototype non-Luer connectors to be evaluated with the aim of reducing to zero the number of patients dying or being paralysed by maladministration of spinal injections.
Following a competitive bid, a team from Leeds was selected to conduct the investigation. They analysed data on incidents involving Luer connectors, conducted clinician workshops to investigate new devices and tested prototypes on a spinal simulator. The team then evaluated prototype devices in four NHS Trusts to see how safe, effective and practical they were.
Enabling design for safety
This novel work demonstrated that a prototype (Neuraxial) connector could be used to treat patients more safely but also identified improvements that would need to be made and changes to packaging and storage that would enable safe and smooth implementation.
The findings formed the basis for National Patient Safety Agency policy alerts which introduced non-Luer spinal connectors to the NHS in 2009. Companies used the alerts to inform further development, resulting in revisions to existing non-Luer connectors and the design of new devices. The research shaped the design of the Surety system, which is currently accepted as the non-Luer connector of choice.
Preventing fatal mistakes
2009, there have been no reports of fatal or paralysing misconnection
errors in the UK involving non-Luer designs. Currently 55 NHS Trusts are
using non-Luer spinal connectors and adoption is continuing across the
country. The Neurax connector design which has been modified based on
the research is the basis for a draft ISO standard, which will influence
international adoption.
Funder: Department of Health
I would like to emphasise the importance of your (Leeds teams) work in developing / testing the Neurax design, a variation of which is likely to be the new ISO standard design used globally in a few years time.Head of Medication Safety, National Patient Safety Agency

Honor roll: World Fantasy Award for Novel
Each of these books has been nominated for a World Fantasy Award for Novel. They are ranked by honors received.
The Graveyard Book
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy.
He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead.
There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy-an ancient Indigo Man beneath the hill, a gateway to a desert leading to an abandoned city of ghouls, the strange and terrible menace of the Sleer.
But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family….
Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his New York Times bestselling modern classic coraline. Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking adventures, the graveyard book is sure to enthrall readers of all ages.
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: A Novel
English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.
But at Hurtfew Abbey in Yorkshire, the rich, reclusive Mr Norrell has assembled a wonderful library of lost and forgotten books from England's magical past and regained some of the powers of England's magicians. He goes to London and raises a beautiful young woman from the dead. Soon he is lending his help to the government in the war against Napoleon Bonaparte, creating ghostly fleets of rain-ships to confuse and alarm the French.
All goes well until a rival magician appears. Jonathan Strange is handsome, charming, and talkative-the very opposite…[more]
American Gods
A master of inventive fiction, Neil Gaiman delves into the murky depths where reality and imagination meet. Now in American Gods, he works his literary magic to extraordinary results.
Shadow dreamed of nothing but leaving prison and starting a new life. But the day before his release, his wife and best friend are killed in an accident. On the plane home to the funeral, he meets Mr. Wednesday—a beguiling stranger who seems to know everything about him. A trickster and rogue, Mr. Wednesday offers Shadow a job as his bodyguard. With nowhere left to go, Shadow accepts, and soon learns that his role in Mr. Wednesday's schemes will be far more dangerous and dark than he could have ever imagined. For beneath the placid surface of everyday life a war is being fought—and the prize is the very soul of America.
The City & the City
When a murdered woman is found in the city of Beszel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks to be a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad. But as he investigates, the evidence points to conspiracies far stranger and more deadly than anything he could have imagined.
Borlú must travel from the decaying Beszel to the only metropolis on Earth as strange as his own. This is a border crossing like no other, a journey as psychic as it is physical, a shift in perception, a seeing of the unseen. His destination is Beszel's equal, rival, and intimate neighbor, the rich and vibrant city of Ul Qoma. With Ul Qoman detective Qussim Dhatt, and struggling with his own transition, Borlú is enmeshed in a sordid underworld of rabid nationalists intent on destroying their neighboring city, and unificationists who dream of dissolving the two into one. As the detectives uncover the dead woman's secrets, they…[more]
After a ten-year hiatus, British academic Andrew Hale is abruptly called back into the Great Game by a terse, cryptic telephone message. Born to "the trade" and recruited at the age of seven by a most secret Secret Service, Hale, in 1963, is forced to confront again the nightmare that has haunted his adult life: a lethal unfinished operation code-named Declare.
Two decades earlier, as a young double agent infiltrating the Soviet spy network in Nazi-occupied Paris, Hale first encountered the incomprehensible rhythms of an invisible world. And from that moment on nothing was ever safe and knowable again. There also, his life became eternally linked with two others' lives that would recurrently intersect his at its most dangerous junctures: his "comrade operative," the fiery and beautiful Communist agent Elena Teresa Ceniza-Bendiga, the object of Hale's undying love, and Kim Philby, the mysterious traitor to the British cause…and perhaps to all humanity. Together they form an unlikely…[more]
Among Others
Startling, unusual, and irresistibly readable, Among Others is at once the compelling story of a young woman struggling to escape a troubled childhood, a brilliant diary of first encounters with the great novels of modern fantasy and science fiction, and a spellbinding tale of escape from ancient enchantment.
As a child growing up in Wales, Morwenna played among the spirits who made their homes in industrial ruins. But her mind found freedom in the science fiction novels that were her closest companions. When her half-mad mother tried to bend the spirits to dark ends, Mori was forced to confront her in a magical battle that left her crippled—and her twin sister dead.
Fleeing to a father whom she barely knew, Mori was sent to boarding school in England—a place all but devoid of true magic. There, she tempted fate by doing magic herself, in an attempt to find a circle of like-minded friends. But her magic also…[more]
Little, Big
Little, Big tells the epic story of Smoky Barnable—an anonymous young man who meets and falls in love with Daily Alice Drinkwater, and goes to live with her in Edgewood, a place not found on any map. In an impossible mansion full of her relatives, who all seem to have ties to another world not far away, Smoky fathers a family and tries to learn what tale he has found himself in—and how it is to end.
The Drowning Girl
India Morgan Phelps—Imp to her friends—is schizophrenic. Struggling with her perceptions of reality, Imp must uncover the truth about her encounters with creatures out of myth-or from something far, far stranger…
The Amber Spyglass: Book 3 of His Dark Materials
Lyra lies sleeping in a cave near a rainbow, drugged into unconsciousness by her mother, Mrs Coulter, whose love for her daughter closely rivals her own ruthless ambition. Now, the latter threatens to overcome the former, as she strives to prevent the events which are dependent on the decisions Lyra is fated to make. Meanwhile, Will - scarred and traumatised after his last, fatal meeting with his father - seeks blindly for her, with only two of Lord Asriel's angels as companions on his dangerous search. The two are fated to meet once more, however, and begin their most treacherous journey..
Perdido Street Station
Beneath the towering bleached ribs of a dead, ancient beast lies New Crobuzon, a squalid city where humans, Re-mades, and arcane races live in perpetual fear of Parliament and its brutal militia. The air and rivers are thick with factory pollutants and the strange effluents of alchemy, and the ghettos contain a vast mix of workers, artists, spies, junkies, and whores. In New Crobuzon, the unsavory deal is stranger to none—not even to Isaac, a brilliant scientist with a penchant for Crisis Theory.
Isaac has spent a lifetime quietly carrying out his unique research. But when a half-bird, half-human creature known as the Garuda comes to him from afar, Isaac is faced with challenges he has never before fathomed. Though the Garuda's request is scientifically daunting, Isaac is sparked by his own curiosity and an uncanny reverence for this curious stranger.
While Isaac's experiments for the Garuda turn into an obsession, one of his lab specimens demands attention: a brilliantly…[more]

I thought my heart was full, but I have been mistaken. I thought your amazing daddy and your amazing sister was all my heart could take and then God gave me you... We all love you so much and I am one proud mommy! Right now, you crack up when I fake laugh and when I chase you! Girl, you can eat!! Sometimes, I'll fix you and your sister something to eat and you will make your way to her plate! You are so special and we just love you so so much! Everything about you is amazing and every time I look at you and your sister, I think to myself, " I have the prettiest and sweetest girls in the world." Happy Birthday sweet girl!
P.S I am surprised you let that adorable hair bow stay in your hair.
Each flower was placed strategically in her full locks, her mom fluffed her hair out and placed each one with its own purpose. It was the purpose of emphasizing her beauty! Ariel beamed with excitement as her mom placed those flowers into her beautiful hair and she laughed as mommy tickled her to share with us, that beautiful smile. We wanted to capture that smile because after all, this time passes so quickly. Ariel was full of laughs during her session but she was even more filled with compassion for her little sister, Aurora. Aurora loved snuggling with her mommy and trusting her big sister. You can see through out this session that mommy takes good care of them. They were mommy's little helpers! This Saturday I was reminded how precious our little girls are. I have always dreamed of having photos of me and my girls, just hanging out and being "us", so this past weekend I lived through Jessica and her two girls, Aurora and Ariel. They gave Hollis Garden an entire new level of sweetness and beauty. I am so grateful to have gotten to know Jessica, Aurora, and Ariel!

Director, Government Relations
We are seeking a seasoned government affairs professional – our first hire in this role. This person will lead and grow an effective government relations practice that accelerates Zocdoc's growth and supports our mission to give power to the patient. The ideal candidate is both an architect and a builder: you can craft a strategy (at first, at the state level and over time at the federal level) and also roll up your sleeves to get the job done. You are an expert communicator, collaborator, and are motivated by accountability to deliver clear results. Importantly, you will develop a regulatory approach that is always 'Patients First' and builds trust in and goodwill for Zocdoc.
What You'll Do:
- Develop winning regulatory strategies. We'll look to you to get up to speed on our business, industry, and regulatory affairs priorities quickly. From there, you'll architect the strategies, campaigns, and repeatable playbooks that mitigate challenges and accelerate our business.
- Effectively execute on multiple workstreams. You'll own and oversee all aspects of implementation and execution of those winning strategies. This will require you to be both a master project manager and strong individual contributor with a 'no job too small' mindset.
- Hire and manage the talent. You'll select, onboard and manage firms on a state-by-state basis. You'll ensure they're working in lock-step with our business, checking in regularly to update them on the latest, calibrating and coordinating on state-level efforts, and driving them toward desired outcomes. Over time, you will have the opportunity to grow an in-house team, too.
- Represent Zocdoc externally. You'll serve as our primary external representative to interface with elected officials, regulators, policymakers, their staff, and other influential third party organizations and thought leaders.
- Develop compelling assets. You'll draft and edit official brand materials including one-pagers, op-eds, policy proposals, comments on regulations, requests for information, formal correspondences, briefing materials, and more. You'll ensure these assets are always aligned with our brand and consistent with our regulatory positions.
- Partner with the business. A key part of your success will rely on having a deep understanding of how Zocdoc works – both from a product and organizational perspective. You'll also need to ensure teams are supporting our regulatory priorities and positions. This will require you to cultivate strong relationships with stakeholders across the business, including Executives, Legal, Sales, Business Operations, Product Marketing, Communications, Customer Service, and more.
Who You Are:
- You have a Bachelor's Degree;
- You have 10+ years in government relations, with experience representing fast-growing companies in heavily regulated industries (tech experience preferred, healthcare industry experience not required);
- You are a quick study. You can get up to speed on a complex business and regulatory environment quickly, translating that knowledge into effective programs;
- You are a strategic thinker who can see around corners and architect a clear plan that takes into account short-term objectives while preserving long-term optionality;
- You are execution-focused with a 'no job too small' mentality, and an ability to flawlessly juggle multiple priorities at once;
- You are a natural collaborator and team player. You adeptly manage internal stakeholders, secure their buy-in, and bring collaborators along for the ride;
- You are a clear and compelling communicator who is a master at writing, editing, and presenting in any setting; you have a magical ability to simultaneously persuade and build trust;
- You thrive in a fast-paced environment, with accountability to clear targets, deadlines and outcomes.

My dad died today. Of course he didn't die today; he died on this date three years ago. Deaths are easier to remember than birthdays. Or they were before Facebook gave everybody a prompt.
Daddy gave up dialysis to spend more time in the pub because he didn't want to spend what turned out to be the last year of his life with "a bunch of boring old guys in an ambulance".
He had a list in his wallet of all the people who have died doing a detox and sang a Scottish version of Amy Winehouse's Rehab. "The cheese tried to make me go to rehab but I said naw naw naw."
When the doctor told him he had two weeks to live he rolled his eyes and said, "Two weeks! In this place! Can't you give me a jag?"
As deathbed words go, he's up there with Gertrude Stein's, "What is the question?" and Bogart's, "I should never have switched from Scotch to martinis."
A Frank Sinatra fan, Daddy did it his way; which didn't always suit me when he was serenading my Sunday school teacher while trying to make her drink a Car Crash (vodka, champagne and a dash of tequila). But children of alcoholics don't get hangovers so I thank him every time I drink frozen vodka.
I grew up with the myth that my ancestors had come to Scotland with Mary Queen of Scots when the child bride came home after the death of the dauphin, escaping her mother-in-law Catherine de Medici but ending up with her head chopped off anyway. That's one way to solve Bad Hair Days in the pre-Stemm era.
My dad sang Thank Heaven for Little Girls in his Maurice Chevalier voice and my grandmother, the Evil One from Edinburgh, gave me a Chanel riding jacket to wear instead of my school blazer.
Imagine my perverse delight when I discovered that the Morins are from the bogs of Derry. The name was changed on the boat to Glasgow, converting Irish Moran into French Morin. Was my great-grandfather a social climber? Eager to offload the stench of potatoes, growing in the dark like the devil and his wee friends? Maybe he couldn't spell?
My dad didn't know he was Irish. His parents had divorced before it was fashionable and his own father walked into the sea before he was old enough to reclaim him.
There were nine Morins in the Glasgow telephone directory; my estranged great-aunts and uncles. Sometimes when I was bored I'd make nuisance calls. Amelia Morin, who owned a hat shop, blew a whistle in my ear. Uncle Joseph, an alcoholic policeman, threatened me with a stick.
I'm as much of a control freak as the next person, reinventing reality as fiction; controlling time with CAIS 2. But I've always loved change. I'm happier Irish than French. I'm not the type to sign a petition about the closure of a place I don't go to anymore either.
When folk find out I live in Soho they ask, "Is that allowed?" Or say, "It's not the same."
Of course it's not the same. Cities change. People change. Staying the same would not only be boring but impossible.
Exactly two weeks after the doctor's prediction, my dad died in hospital. He couldn't get into morphine, "Folk pay good money for this stuff but it just makes you go to sleep."
My aunt died alone at home with a stash of VH products I'd sent to make her feel better unopened in a cupboard. Maybe she was keeping the magnesium flakes, foot detox pads and Inner Strength oil for a special occasion; like her vintage lapis lazuli coat, wrapped in a silk bag, lonely in the wardrobe.
I was wearing the blue coat when Maddie called to announce the latest death. My cousin, younger than me, almost a little sister, lived next door until I disappeared on a diplomatic scholarship as a teenager and never went back home.
Is home a place? Or is it in your head? The place you live, the place you come from? The place you want to be when you are somewhere else?
Memory is not defined by fact. Sometimes it's an atmosphere, a song, a pair of shoes in a shop window. Shining torches in the dark, talking about reincarnation; my cousin didn't want to come back as a spider. My brother feared being a television after dressing up as one at Halloween. And I was pure dying to be David Bowie.
My autistic cousin resisted attempts to hospitalize her and find a cure for her obsession with Marc Almond. She was addicted to dominoes, karaoke and had a nun's habit hidden at the back of her wardrobe.
Death is a reminder of your own mortality. Is it resurrection or the great emptiness? "At last I get to see Marilyn again," were Joe di Maggio's last words. But did he?
Everybody dies. Suicides control death by choosing the time and place and method. Maybe death, like life, is different for everyone? A way of keeping control is accepting that you can't have it.
What will happen next? I don't know. But I can't hang around here waiting for the plot to thicken. I have books to write, martinis to drink, face masks to use.
Ritual breaks up eternity into small exciting steps. Quench is God's tranquiliser on an overnight flight. Mastic Must evicts the desert from my pores. Myrrh Clay makes me emerge from the bath with skin like polished marble. Voicemail Mask is for my fourteen hour sleeps and, my favourite, FM makes me want to go on living.
On special occasions – when I'm facing an enemy or a funeral – I use all the Niods obvs.
Death is a reminder to enjoy your wee life. Dangerous and I are giving up guilt for Lent again this year. RIP Daddy.
Carole Morin is "Sylvia Plath with a sense of humour."

Our Society Is Sick. It's infected with Hate. This is the reality I came to after the death of Diego at Landmark Middle School and while watching the DC movie JOKER (I should get paid for the plug), it broke my heart to see adults pushing and threatening for the incarceration of the students involved. It was disappointing to see the tragedy being laid at the feet of their parents. What was even more disgusting to see adults using hate and violence to deal with this issue.
This is but a reflection of our society as a whole. You see, violence and hate is taught. It is modeled so perfectly by the actions and words of you and me. No one is innocent.
We saw the sickness again when Brandt Jean hugged his brother's killer Amber Guyger. Throughout this nation, we saw our friends, family, and self-proclaimed Christians attack a young man in mourning, for showing LOVE to a fellow human being who will receive consequences for her crime. Yes, she is a murderer. Yes, racism was probably involved. However, true LOVE has nothing to do with the actions of the other person. It is not based on how we feel about someone else. Instead of responding with hate, he chose to respond with love. Love doesn't mean no consequences. Love doesn't mean support injustice. Love means challenging you to be your better self. Love means a commitment to social justice in the face of hate and oppression. Love means, leave hate and join me. That is BEAUTIFUL.
Hate is on the rise all over the world. After a study by the European Union, they concluded that "Racist and intolerant hate speech in public discourse is escalating; the main targets are asylum-seekers and Muslims," the council's Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) said in the report.
We are witnessing a global sickness that possesses a greater threat than Ebola, AIDS, or the Bird Flu. And we all have it. What is the cure? We must reach down deep in our soul to see what is causing it. Is this who we want to be? We must stop being silent when racism and hate is around us. We must call it out.
We must turn hate into love. It is easier to hate. It is easier to blame. It is harder to love. Let us choose the harder road.

Salt, Not Electrolyte Supplements, Needs More Attention During Hot Months
By Juliet M. Getty, Ph.D.
Your horse sweats more during the summer, making electrolyte supplementation worth considering. But electrolytes alone will not protect against dehydration. Your horse needs to have enough sodium (salt). One ounce per day (two tablespoons) is adequate for maintenance during cool months, but hot, humid weather calls for at least two ounces per day, and more if your horse is in work of any kind.
One way to accomplish this: provide a plain, white salt block, Redmond salt rock, or Himalayan salt rock in close proximity. But make sure your horse licks it; many horses do not, due to tiny scratches that form on the tongue. Even better is to offer coarsely granulated salt free choice by pouring some in a small bucket. You can also add salt to each meal. Iodized table salt and Redmond and Himalayan rocks offer a small amount of iodine. Take this into consideration if your horse already receives iodine from another source. Total iodine intake should not exceed 5 mg per day.
Be aware that electrolyte supplements should be given only to a horse that is already in good sodium balance. They are designed to replace what is lost from perspiration and should contain at least 13 grams of chloride, 6 grams of sodium, and 5 grams of potassium per dose. If your horse works more than two hours at a time, provide a dose of electrolytes after exercise by adding it to a gallon of water, top-dressing a feed, or offered via syringe. And always, be sure to keep fresh, clean water nearby.

Our mission to Cameroon with the UN Refugee Agency – 5 key takeaways

Entity Hubs & Field user: How to combine Salesforce records without compromises
Salesforce data can be approached differently by various field users and across teams. One of the options to quickly access relevant data is to use Entity Hubs* via the Resco Mobile application. You can create a variety of hubs that represent condensed units of information relevant for specific teams and even individual users.
Example: Your Salesforce records like Accounts, Contacts and Leads can represent one unit = Customers.
This way, each team or a user can work with a particular Entity Hub and have all vital information in one place.
As of the Winter 2018 release of Resco's mobile solutions, you can place any Hub you create not just on a view (like the Home menu), but on a form, as well. Continue reading

How does my currency affect the price I see on Etsy?
When buying from a seller who lists in a currency other than your preferred currency, Etsy converts the listing price for you using an approximate conversion based on current exchange rate data. When a currency conversion is required, Etsy applies an additional currency conversion charge. Calculation rates are updated regularly.
How currency works if you're paying by credit or debit card
Credit and debit card transactions on Etsy are currently supported in these major currencies. If you're viewing the site in one these supported checkout currencies, the entire checkout process will be in that currency.
Shoppers on Etsy can browse in additional currencies not supported by Etsy Payments. If you happen to be viewing the site in one of our additional currencies, you'll be prompted to pay in the seller's listing currency.

If you check out in a currency other than your credit card's currency, you may be subject to a currency conversion fee from your card issuer.
Check with your credit card provider for information on any applicable fees.
How currency works if you're paying with PayPal
If you pay through PayPal, PayPal will provide automatic currency conversion based on the seller's listing currency.
Contact PayPal directly for more details regarding how they determine their currency conversion rates and fees.
Some currencies that Etsy supports aren't supported by PayPal. If your currency isn't supported, but the shop's is, you can check out with PayPal using the shop's currency. If you're in Turkey, you can't checkout with PayPal due to location regulations.
If neither your currency or the shop's currency are supported by PayPal, you can't check out with PayPal and will need to choose a different payment method.
How currency works if you're paying with other payment methods
For all other international payment methods (e.g. money order, personal check), you and the seller should discuss the currency of the payment using Etsy Messages before you place your order.

In January I had my first smear at 25. The result was severely abnormal cells, I was offered a colposcopy and had the LLETZ treatment on the same day. 3 weeks later I was told I had CN1 CN2 And CN3 successfully removed from my cervix.
6 Months later I had a check up smear which came back with severely abnormal cells again. I am due to attend a colposcopy appointment on Monday next week. I know cervical cancer is extremely slow-growing and the likley-hood of it turning into cancer in 6 months is VERY VERY rare. But I cannot help but let my mind go wild with "what if's". I do not understand how they can tell me I was successfully treated and now it has returned just as severe as last time!
It seems they only give you a limited amount of info and it leaves you with 1000 unanswered questions.
I was originally very calm about it this time but everyone around me is freaking out, which has caused my anxiety to sky rocket and now I'm having several panic attacks a day! :(
I had severely abnormal cells that were removed in April with a cone treatment...I go for my follow up next month, I did ask my family doctor if it would turn into cancer in that time, and he said no not that fast. I hope this helps.

We Break Down The "Health And Welfare" Guidelines For Dog Owners
What do you think?
The McGowan Government have released "health and welfare" guidelines for dog owners, in the effort to help dog owners take better care of their pets.
The 43 page document sets what they call the "minimum standard" and guidelines for looking after dogs, with the potential for the government to set penalties for potential infringements at a later date.
The Big Breakfast, a big bunch of dog lovers, had their say about it this morning:
Some of the rules we've seen include:
- Avoid speed bumps when driving with their dog and carry a canine first-aid kit when going for a run
- Pets be restrained during transport to prevent distraction and risk of injury
- Dogs not be tethered for a period exceeding two hours in 24 hours
Public consultation on the draft set of rules are open now via this link.

Straight from her homeland in Ghana West Africa, Sonia Nkpe kept to herself for much of her freshman year at Indiana State University.
"I felt different than most of the people I met. I know that I am someone who is not afraid to say what's on my mind, and I realize that can push people away so I just kept to myself my first year on campus," she said.
Now a junior, the athletic training major said she began emerging from her shell when another international student encouraged her to apply for the spot in the Center for Global Engagement's annual international student leader retreat, which is hosted with support from the Indiana State's Division of Student Affairs.
Participants are selected by a committee to participate in the yearly training, which includes speakers and activities to teach international students about the global perspectives of leadership and an overnight trip to field campus in Brazil, Ind.
"I'm really a shy person but the program allowed me time to get out of myself and meet a lot of new friends, especially students who aren't African just like me," Nkpe said. "Right after the program last year, I have become happier with getting involved in activities around campus, and I've opened myself up to being involved in more intellectual conversations with others, which I had been so afraid to do before I joined the program."
A program alumnae and organizer of this year's event, Polina Kaniuka, an Ukrainian graduate student, said the retreat allows international students "to leave their comfort zone, build a network of new friendships and/or do what they might have had doubts about, since different cultures have a different image of what it takes and what it means to be a leader."
"Here, in the USA, they can finally become people they always wanted to be, but maybe didn't have resources or enough of support for before," she said. "From a perspective of a last year's program participant and one of the organizers this year, I would say that this program helped me identify myself and my strengths and weaknesses; in addition, it gave me a huge push to work harder on all the initiatives, since I understand that having an idea is only 10 percent of success; other 90 percent will totally depend on the efforts of those who will actually realize it."
This year's training exposed nearly 30 students - including four domestic students - to different perspectives on leadership and what makes a leader from speakers like Willie Banks, Indiana State's new vice president for student affairs, and Monique Parks-Allen, assistant director of campus life.
"Our major challenge many times is that we see leadership as a position, but we need to move into looking (at leadership) as a role rather than a position," said Zachariah Mathew, associate director at the Center for Global Engagement. "A leader is not someone who knows everything and can do everything, but the person who can identify strengths and bring those strengths together.
"When you do that and have confidence in the strength of your fellow team members you don't have to be afraid of not knowing. Leaders need to bring the strengths together and get to where you want to be," Mathew said.
Nowadays, it's a big deal going to college and earning a degree but an even bigger deal when you get the full package a degree entails, said Mopelola Akinlaja of Nigeria who participated in last year's program and worked with Kaniuka to put together this year's retreat.
"Some experiences that cannot be taught in the classroom but are needed in the workforce and in interactions all throughout life were taught in this retreat. Also, very good bonds and friendships were created and one cannot place a dollar value on that experience," she said. "I am grateful to ISU and the Center for Global Engagement for such an amazing opportunity because I am convinced that I am equipped to face the real world without difficulty."
The role of culture in daily life was learned through a simulation, where students were placed into "clans" that had to develop their own histories. Each group was then given several cultural rules to follow within their clan.
But when taken out of her group and placed in a new one, the dynamics changed, said Alyaa Malibari, a student from Saudi Arabia.
"At the start, I was in my comfort zone and I felt like I was a part of the group," she said. "When I went to the new group, I felt connected only to the other person from my original group who had changed groups with me. For the first few minutes after I got to the new group, I just stood there doing nothing as the group continued working on their project. I was homesick."
It's not unlike what international students in a foreign country experience almost daily, said Mathew, who first came to the U.S. from India as a student.
"Fear of the unknown drives us out, but you need to tell people about your culture and give them a chance to experience it," he said. "Keep in mind, it takes time. It's (your) responsibility to take the first step to build a bridge between the cultures. Teaching is a means of building relationships. It's our responsibility to let people know who we are."
The training aims to help international students begin to view leadership with diverse perspectives and open their minds to a new meaning of leadership, especially in a culture that may be different than their own.
"Because leadership is often defined by where people come from and from their personal experiences, it makes leadership a complex idea to try and understand," said Adonis Ndusha, a criminal justice major who came to Indiana State last spring from Congo. "In my country, you need to be connected to someone with power in order to become a leader. Becoming a leader is more open to everyone in the U.S, but I'm learning that it really isn't as simple as just having power. A leader needs more than that."

Every year on September 19th, we celebrate this scurvy scallywag soiree in true sea-dog style at our World Headquarters. We don our finest pirate garb and make ready to fire the phones, man the computer galley, ship out the daily treasure trove of orders, and swab the breakroom deck.
We've got a few new faces in our skeleton crew that arrr quickly learning the office ropes. With a wealth o' costume plunder to choose from, they'll soon discover that it takes a bit more than putting on a pirate hat to earn your colors around these parts…
Ye might say that some of us go a touch overboard for the occasion. But what fun is it to merely talk like a pirate when ye can go all out and dress like one, too?
So whether you're sailing the Seven Seas or plundering the Caribbean, from arr crew to yers: Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!

We thought that the sound system had finally given up on us…the trusty sound system that had carried voices and instruments for concerts over the last 20 years had had enough. There was no electricity in the outlets at the outdoor venue in which we were setting up…no time for a sound check before the electricity finally surged back into the lines. A horrible buzzing sound emitted from the speakers.
Last night, we set the whole system up again in our dining room. And lo and behold, we discovered that we had put two wires in the wrong places. The good old sound system sounded crystal clear and was raring to go. Which of course prompted an impromptu concert at home for my poor children to have to listen to. 🙂
Being hooked up to the right source is crucial; our energy flows, and we feel alive and well and purposeful. Having our wires crossed, or connecting to bad sources, leads to confusion, unusefulness, and no direction.
"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10b)
Have a wonderful, God-powered day! Slainte, Lisa

Alex Rodriguez hit his first HR in a month, and the Yanks made it back to .500 with a 2-1 win over Baltimore Monday night.
It seems like the Yanks are like one of those sinker lines on a fishing pole. They bob up to .500, sink down, then bob up again.
A-Rod got his 9th HR of the year (696* career) in the second inning to put the Yanks up 1-0. Jonathan Schoop tied it up in the third with a HR for Baltimore.
The Yanks got the tiebreaking and winning run in the bottom of the third. Gardner singled, went to third on a single by Beltran and scored on a SF by McCann.
Nova went six, then it was no-Runs DMC time.
Nova (w, 7-5, 4.92) 6 IP, 1 R, 4 hits, 3 walks, 4 K. Gave up 1 HR.
