Emily's select booklist can be found below.
"A tense, poignant and ingeniously crafted mystery." —The Guardian
"The Darkest Secret is Alex Marwood's best book yet -- no small thing when one considers that her first two crime novels were both award winners. Her plots are always top-notch – deft, twisty – but it's the humanity she grants all her characters that makes her one of our best. This story will grip you to the final page, but Milly and her troubled family may never leave you." – Laura Lippman
Perfectly paced all the way through its devastating conclusion, The Darkest Secret is one that fans of Gillian Flynn and Liane Moriarty won't be able to put down.
Twelve years ago, Mila Jackson's three-year-old half-sister Coco disappeared during their father's fiftieth birthday party. Her identical twin Ruby was left behind as the only witness. The girls' father, Sean, was wealthy and influential, as were the friends gathered at their seaside vacation home for the weekend's debauchery. The case ignited a media frenzy and forever changed the lives of everyone involved.
Now, Sean Jackson is dead, and the people who were present that terrible night must gather once more for a funeral that will reveal that the secrets of the past can never stay hidden.
"With The Darkest Secret, Alex Marwood has become one of my must-read crime writers. It's an amazingly gripping book, and the structure is a thing of beauty." – Sophie Hannah
"Simply tremendous, so tense and packed with pathos. I loved every page of it." – Sarah Hilary
"Twisted River is a superb thriller – gripping, surprising, and terrifically rewarding." – Chris Pavone, New York Times bestselling author of The Expats
"MacDonald toys with the reader, leading right then feinting left with plot twists that genuinely surprise. Infidelity, deception, revenge, and murder all come into play, but the big thrill here is the constant undermining of assumptions." – Kirkus Reviews
In Twisted River Hazel and Oscar Harvey and their two children live on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Though they seem successful and happy, Hazel has mysterious bruises, and Oscar is hiding things about his dental practice. They, too, need a change of pace. Hazel has always wanted her children to see her native Limerick, and the house swap offers a perfect chance to soothe two troubled marriages. But this will be anything but a perfect vacation. And the body in the trunk is just the beginning.
"A skillfully wrought thriller that exposes the dangers of secrecy." – Booklist
"MacDonald develops her twin stories with masterly control of mood and scene, setting you up for jolts that, even if you somehow see them coming, lose nothing in sinister shock value." – The Chicago Tribune
"This is a dark exploration of the intricacies of control and desire, and what can happen when they turn horribly warped. This may be Sophie Hannah's best book yet." – Tana French, bestselling author of In The Woods
"... a final twist proves the perfect coda for this exemplar of psychological suspense." — Booklist (starred review)
It's past midnight, but Connie Bowskill can't sleep. To pass the time, she logs on to a real estate website in search of a particular house, one she is obsessed with for reasons she's too scared to even admit to herself. As she clicks through the virtual tour, she comes across a scene from a nightmare: a woman lying facedown on the living room floor in a pool of blood. But when she returns to show her husband, there is no body, no blood—just a perfectly ordinary room, with a perfectly clean beige carpet.
The sixth book in Sophie Hannah's beloved Zailer and Waterhouse series, The Other Woman's House offers unforgettable suspense and a heart-stopping conclusion that Ruth Rendell and Tana French fans will love.
"Sophie Hannah has been rightly praised for intricate and accomplished psychological thrillers which dissect the dark side of human relationships, and her fifth novel, A ROOM SWEPT WHITE, covers obsession, manipulation, meltdown and all points in between." - Guardian
"Classic Hannah, with genuinely thought-provoking issues and thoroughly believable characters - eshing out a plot of satisfying complexity. Compelling." — Yorkshire Evening Post
"Hannah, who understands psychological mayhem as well as Ruth Rendell and maybe even Sigmund Freud, is best read with a crisis counselor on speed-dial. The tight plotting and excruciatingly precise clues make for a superlatively uneasy read." — Kirkus
Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Paperback Original. Nominated for the Macavity Award for Best Mystery Novel and the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Original; optioned by James Franco
"The suspense keeps the pages flying, but what sets this one apart is the palpable sense of onrushing doom." – Stephen King
On a fateful summer morning in 1986, two eleven-year-old girls meet for the first time. By the end of the day, they will both be charged with murder. Twenty-five years later, journalist Kirsty Lindsay is reporting on a series of sickening attacks on young female tourists in a seaside vacation town when her investigation leads her to interview carnival cleaner Amber Gordon. For Kirsty and Amber, it's the first time they've seen each other since that dark day so many years ago. Now with new, vastly different lives—and unknowing families to protect—will they really be able to keep their wicked secret hidden?
Gripping and fast-paced, with an ending that will stay with you long after you've read it, The Wicked Girls will appeal to fans of Laura Lippman, Liane Moriarty, and Tana French.
"Harrowing… while the received wisdom on violence committed by children seems to be that 'some people just are born evil,' Marwood makes a strong case that these crimes are more likely rooted in poverty, abuse and parental abandonment." – Marilyn Stasio, The New York Time Book Review
"The Best Books I Read This Year" – Entertainment Weekly
Winner of the Macavity Award for Best Mystery Novel and nominated for the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Original; optioned by James Franco
"If you read Alex Marwood's THE WICKED GIRLS, her new one – THE KILLER NEXT DOOR – is even better. Scary as hell. Great characters." – Stephen King
"Marwood is emerging as a master of contemporary British suspense." – Booklist
Everyone who lives at 23 Beulah Grove has a secret. If they didn't, they wouldn't be renting rooms in a dodgy old building for cash—no credit check, no lease. It's the kind of place you end up when you you've run out of other options. The six residents mostly keep to themselves, but one unbearably hot summer night, a terrible accident pushes them into an uneasy alliance. What they don't know is that one of them is a killer. Worse yet, The Killer Next Door has already chosen his next victim, and he'll do anything to protect his secret.
"Although not as dark as Marwood's first novel, The Wicked Girls, this psychological thriller is more macabre, in a creepy comic vein, and vividly nasty when it gets to the physical details. But in its own disturbing way, this is a story about love and friendship" – Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
"A well-plotted ending filled with unexpected surprises." – Publisher's Weekly
Winner of Crime Thriller of the Year, 2013 UK National Book Awards
"Hannah bores down deep into her tiny cast's secret lives, then still deeper…Fans will love the endlessly knotty complications." – Kirkus Reviews
When her plane is delayed overnight, Gaby Struthers finds herself forced to share a hotel room with a stranger, a terrified young woman named Lauren Cookson. Lauren reveals an insidious secret: an innocent man may go to prison for a murder he didn't commit.
The murder victim is none other than Francine Breary, the wife of the only man Gaby has ever truly loved. Tim Breary has confessed and even provided the police with the pillow he used to smother Francine. The only thing he hasn't given them is a motive. He claims to have no idea why he murdered his wife…it's up to Gaby to find out.
"Hannah's police procedurals…elevate the whydunit as well as the more standard whodunit to a high art. By delving deep into the most basic-yet-twisted psychological elements that drive apparently normal human beings to perform dastardly deeds such as homicide, Hannah creates truly chilling novels that strike a nimble balance between the joys of her detectives' insights and humor and a true, intractable sense of all-too-real menace." – The Boston Globe
Winner of the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2015; nominated for a Macavity Award for Best First Mystery Novel. In development at the BBC.
"[Hilary] skilfully interweaves multiple viewpoints on the way to the mystery's unsettling conclusion." – Publisher's Weekly
In Someone Else's Skin, DI Marnie Rome knows this better than most. Five years ago, her family home was the scene of a shocking and bloody crime that left her parents dead and her foster brother in prison. Marnie doesn't talk much about her personal life, preferring to focus on work. Not even her partner, DS Noah Jake, knows much about Marnie's past. Though as one of the few gay officers on the force and half Jamaican to boot, Noah's not one to overshare about his private life either. Now Marnie and Noah are tackling a case of domestic violence, and a different brand of victim.
"Fans of Val McDermid and Ian Rankin will love this tremendous debut. Someone Else's Skin puts Sarah Hilary and DI Marnie Rome squarely on the map. A gripping, disturbing examination of domestic violence with gravitas in spades, this book haunts you well after its finish." – Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of Through Evil Days
"Riveting . . . Sarah Hilary delivers in this enthralling tale of a haunted detective, terrible crime, and the secrets all of us try to keep" – Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Both victims and villains abound in Hilary's searing, intricately plotted police procedural" – Publisher's Weekly (starred review)
The gripping follow-up to Sarah Hilary's acclaimed debut Someone Else's Skin, No Other Darkness finds mystery's "impressive new cop-heroine" (The Times, London) on a case that hauntingly echoes her own family tragedy. Detective Inspector Marnie Rome and her partner Detective Sergeant Noah Jake are investigating the recent discovery of two dead boys in a bunker beneath a London garden. Terry and Beth, under whose garden the bodies were discovered, have two children of their own, and are also fostering a difficult boy named Clancy. Clancy reminds Marnie of her foster brother Stephen, who murdered her parents. Is Marnie's past blinding her to the truth? Only one thing is certain: when Terry and Beth's biological children vanish, Marnie can't waste a moment finding them.
"Last year, Sarah Hilary's Someone Else's Skin was acclaimed a superb debut. It was no fluke. No Other Darkness is just as excellent, and DI Marnie Rome is a three-dimensional character of an emotional depth rarely encountered in the world of fictional cops." – The Times (London)
"Murder in the Rue Dumas is even more spectacular than her first novel, which is no small feat. The pacing is perfect, the characters delightful, and the setting so real it's impossible not to think you can reach out and touch it. Do not miss this book!" – Tasha Alexander, author of the Lady Emily series
"A promising debut for Longworth, who shows there's more to France than Paris and more to mystery than Maigret." – Kirkus
When the director of the theology department at the university in Aix is found dead, Judge Verlaque is dumbfounded. Professor Moutte was about to announce the recipient of both a fellowship, and his position as Director—which includes the coveted apartment in a 17th century mansion. The prospective recipients and others close to Moutte make up a long list of suspects in Murder in the Rue Dumas, but Verlaque isn't convinced any of the eager students or desperate teachers are capable of murder, and he must dig deeper. With Marine's help—and that of her plucky mother—Verlaque uncovers a world that proves more complicated than university politics.
"Here's hoping the series lasts for years." – RT BookReviews
"What really makes Longforth's writing special is her deep knowledge of French history, landscape, cuisine, and even contemporary cafes and restaurants. This is that rare atmospheric mystery that is street-wise and café-canny." – Booklist (starred review)
"Judge Antoine Verlaque, the sleuth in this civilized series, discharges his professional duties with discretion. But we're here to taste the wines, which are discussed by experts like Hippolyte Thebaud, a former wine thief, and served in beautiful settings like a 300-year-old stone farmhouse. So many bottles, so many lovely views. A reader might be forgiven for feeling woozy." – Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times
"Though the plot is hair-raising, what keeps you glued to this mystery is its vivid portrait of everyday life in Aix, which deftly juxtaposes the elegance of the city…with quotidian woes and pleasures." – Oprah.com
Olivier Bonnard, the owner of Domaine Beauclaire winery, is devastated when he discovers the theft of a priceless cache of rare vintages. Soon after, Monsieur Gilles d'Arras reports that his wife, Pauline, has vanished from their lavish apartment. As Judge Antoine Verlaque and Commissioner Paulik tackle a new case in Death in the Vines, they receive an urgent call: Bonnard has just found Madame d'Arras—dead in his vineyard.
"...A promising debut for Longworth, who shows there's more to France than Paris and more to mystery than Maigret."— Kirkus
"I have been a huge fan of Rennie Airth's novels featuring John Madden since first reading River of Darkness, and had been eagerly awaiting The Reckoning—it does not disappoint. Airth is at the top of his game, engaging the reader with dense plotting, page-turning narrative and expert characterization. I absolutely could not put it down!"— Jacqueline Winspear, author of the bestselling Maisie Dobbs series
On a quiet afternoon in 1947, retired bank manager Oswald Gibson is shot in the head while fishing. In Scotland, a respectable family doctor is killed in the same manner—and with the same gun. The Reckoning questions: What is the connection? Scotland Yard's Detective Inspector Billy Styles and local detective Vic Chivers are baffled until a letter from Gibson is discovered that might shed some light on the case—a letter concerning former Scotland Yard detective John Madden. Despite Madden's legendary memory, he has no recollection of meeting Gibson or any idea of what their relationship might have been. Madden is happily retired from police work, but agrees to help his former protégé Styles and the clues they uncover only deepen the mystery. When a third man is killed in a similar fashion, Madden and Styles find themselves in a race against time to find the killer before another man ends up dead.
"One of the best mysteries in years." – The Boston Globe
"Andi Teran's first novel is vivid and fully realized, an entire universe expertly condensed into the pages you hold in your hands. Ana herself is a complicated delight, and by the end of the book I wanted to scoop her up into my arms." —New York Times bestselling author Emma Straub
In the grand tradition of Anne of Green Gables, Bridget Jones's Diary, and The Three Weissmanns of Westport, Andi Teran's captivating debut novel, Ana of California, offers a contemporary twist on a beloved classic. Fifteen-year-old orphan Ana Cortez has just blown her last chance with a foster family. It's a group home next—unless she agrees to leave East Los Angeles for a farm trainee program in Northern California.
"Theodora is a best-of-all-worlds book—entertaining, gripping, thoughtful and dangerously enlightening. Stella Duffy, a versatile and gifted novelist, is uniquely suited to bringing Theodora to life. She clearly has great affection for her subject, but does not allow that to undercut her keen eye and pitch-perfect ear. An achievement that many writers will envy and few will equal." — Laura Lippman
Charming, charismatic, heroic - Theodora of Constantinople rose from nothing to become the most powerful woman in the history of Byzantine Rome. In Stella Duffy's breathtaking new novel, Theodora, she comes to life again - a fascinating, controversial and seductive woman.
When her father is killed, the young Theodora is forced into near slavery to survive. But just as she learns to control her body as a dancer, and for the men who can afford her, so she is determined to shape a very different fate for herself.
"What a great book! A fascinating, little-known period of history, a tense, exciting story, and characters who spring as naturally from their own time as mushrooms from the forest floor." – Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander series
"Bracewell delivers a highly entertaining addition to the historical fiction genre." – Publisher's Weekly
Determined to outmaneuver her adversaries, Emma forges alliances with influential men at court and wins the affection of the English people. But her growing love for a man who is not her husband and the imminent threat of a Viking invasion jeopardize both her crown and her life.
Based on real events recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the perfect antidote to Tudor fatigue, Shadow on the Crown is packed with nonstop action, romance, and plenty of deliciously creepy Gothic flavor.
"Using the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as her marker, Patricia Bracewell has produced a magnificent work of historical fiction, evoking time and place in a remarkable way, and engaging the reader firmly in her story." – The Daily Mail (UK)
"In The Price of Blood, Patricia Bracewell proves once more that she is an alchemist. She turns the leaden chronicle accounts of Emma and Aethelred's embattled kingdom into a narrative thrumming with life, the historical figures heartbreakingly human. The epic battles of the Anglo-Saxon are rendered personal, tragic. The fated characters disturbed my sleep and haunted my walks. You have been warned." — Emma Campion, author of The King's Mistress
Following the events in Shadow on the Crown, Price of Blood divulges escalating tension as Emma forges alliances to protect her young son from ambitious men—even from the man she loves. In the north there is treachery brewing, and when Viking armies ravage England, loyalties are shattered and no one is safe from the sword. Rich with intrigue, compelling personalities, and fascinating detail about a little-known period in history, The Price of Blood will captivate fans of both fantasy and historical fiction.
"Set approximately one century later than Bernard Cornwell's popular Saxon Tales, Emma's intriguing and historically authentic saga will appeal to a similar audience." — Booklist
"A deep and stirring novel, elegant in detail and convincing in execution." — Cecelia Holland, author of The Secret Eleanor
"Fun and beautifully crafted. The novel is something like a Russian nesting doll: it's a Jane Austen novel inside a Princess Bride type fantasy romp inside a much darker Tolkien-esque story of politics, war, magic, and dragons. An impressive debut." – Charlie Lovett, New York Times bestselling author of The Bookman's Tale
"Moth and Spark is a standalone, a rare gem, especially in the fantasy genre. A fantastic read all around." — The Book Swarm
Prince Corin has been chosen to free the dragons from their bondage to the powerful Mycenean Empire, but no one, not the dragons nor their riders, is even sure what keeps the dragons in the Empire's control. Meanwhile, Tam, sensible daughter of a well-respected doctor, had no idea before she arrived in Caithenor that she is a Seer, gifted with visions.
When Prince Corin and Tam run into each other, sparks fly--but it's not all happily ever after. Never mind that the prince isn't allowed to marry a commoner: war is coming. Torn between his quest to free the dragons and his duty to his country, Tam and Corin must both figure out how to master their powers in order to save Caithen.
Winner of the CWA Nonfiction Dagger Award. Optioned by Kudos, with Justin Kurzel (MACBETH) attached to direct.
"Wickedly, brilliantly, inescapably funny in spite of its often-horrific scenarios, Hudson's debut is, by equal turns, startling, devastating, and exhilarating." – The Boston Globe
"This bittersweet novel is warm and humorous, too." – Booklist
Reminiscent of early Roddy Doyle, Tony Hogan Bought Me an Ice-Cream Float Before He Stole My Ma begins with our singular heroine's less than idyllic birth and quickly moves to a spectacular fight that lands Janie and her mother in a local women's shelter. From there it's on to a dodgy council flat and a succession of unsuitable men, including the hard-drinking, drug-dealing, ice-cream-buying Tony Hogan. Kerry Hudson's arrestingly original debut will enthrall readers with Janie's tragicomic and moving story about coming of age in a non-traditional family amid the absurdities of the 1980s and Thatcherite Britain.
"Funny and dark" – Kirkus Reviews
"Real and heartfelt, carried along by stunning, earthy dialogue that captures the rough poetry of daily speech…Hudson avoids the usual sentimental clichés and gives us, without a shred of hipster cynicism, the hope and tough warmth for which she has such a sharp eye." – The Guardian
"The evolution of air safety is rooted in catastrophe. Christine Negroni pulls back the curtain on the people, the places, and the tragedies that have shaped this process over the decades -- an unflinching look at a system that most of us take for granted." – Patrick Smith, air travel blogger and bestselling author of Cockpit Confidential
Tying in aviation science, performance psychology, and extensive interviews with pilots, engineers, human factors specialists, crash survivors, and others involved in accidents all over the world, The Crash Detectives is an alternately terrifying and inspiring book that might just cure your fear of flying, and will definitely make you a more informed passenger.
"Mysteries are always fascinating; aviation mysteries are especially so because they involve ordinary people. In The Crash Detectives, Christine Negroni combines her investigative reporting skills with an understanding of the complexities of air accident investigations to bring to life some of history's most intriguing and heartbreaking cases, reminding us that even in the 21st century, aviation still holds elements of the unknown." – Bob Woodruff, ABC News
New York Times bestseller. Winner of the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime
"This is a good murder story, well told, with all the additional pleasures that a knowledgeable tour guide to old China can provide. Grateful readers could scarcely ask for more." – Joseph Kanon, author of Istanbul Passage, in The Washington Post
Chronicling an incredible unsolved murder, Midnight in Peking captures the aftermath of the brutal killing of a British schoolgirl in January 1937. The mutilated body of Pamela Werner was found at the base of the Fox Tower, which, according to local superstition, is home to the maliciously seductive fox spirits. As British detective Dennis and Chinese detective Han investigate, the mystery only deepens and, in a city on the verge of invasion, rumor and superstition run rampant. Based on seven years of research by historian and China expert Paul French, this true-crime thriller presents readers with a rare and unique portrait of the last days of colonial Peking.
"Clue by clue, Paul French uncovers the truth of a bizarre murder case that shocked Peking in 1937. In doing so, he draws a chilling portrait of the city's decadent, violent and overly-privileged Euro-American expatriate community. It is a feat comparable to that of White Mischief. Fascinating and irresistible. I couldn't put it down." – John Berendt, author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
"A propulsive and exceedingly well-reported book that offers an intense ticktock account, the fullest we have had, of the attack on the Taj…It's a tragedy and a thriller with concussive human and political resonance. I read it in what felt like three blinks." – Dwight Garner, The New York Times
"Mr. Levy and Ms. Scott-Clark recreate in vivid detail the genesis of Operation Bombay... THE SIEGE reads like a thriller." – The Wall Street Journal
Mumbai, 2008. On the night of November 26, Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists attacked targets throughout the city, including the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, one of the world's most exclusive luxury hotels. For sixty-eight hours, hundreds were held hostage as shots rang out and an enormous fire raged. When the smoke cleared, thirty-one people were dead and many more had been injured. The Siege recounts the courageous actions of staff and guests—including Mallika Jagad, Bob Nichols, and Taj general manager Binny Kang—prevented a much higher death toll.
With a deep understanding of the region and its politics and a narrative flair reminiscent of Midnight in Peking, journalists Cathy Scott-Clark and Adrian Levy vividly unfold the tragic events in a real-life thriller filled with suspense, tragedy, history, and heroism.
"Veteran Southeast Asia journalists Scott-Clark and Levy recreate this cataclysmic disaster with all the pulse-pumping intensity of a cinematic action thriller, recounting astonishing episodes of personal heroism while issuing a sobering indictment of the ineptitude of the government and security agencies that failed to prevent the attack and protect civilians." – Booklist
New York Times bestseller, optioned by BBC films and Scott Free (Ridley Scott's production company)
"In pages more reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe than Evelyn Waugh… [Bailey] reminds us why this seemingly insignificant story bears telling." – The New York Times Book Review
"Bailey is a truly dogged detective… a compelling exposé" – Kirkus Reviews
After the Ninth Duke of Rutland, one of the wealthiest men in Britain, died alone in a cramped room in the servants' quarters of Belvoir Castle on April 21, 1940, his son and heir ordered the room, which contained the Rutland family archives, sealed. Sixty years later, Catherine Bailey became the first historian given access. In The Secret Rooms, Bailey uncovers a mystery: The Duke had painstakingly erased three periods of his life from all family records—but why? As Bailey uncovers the answers, she also provides an intimate portrait of the very top of British society in the turbulent days leading up to World War I.
"Bailey deserves commendation for her meticulous research as well as her storytelling." – Publisher's Weekly
"Compelling. A remarkable piece of research which throws a bright shaft of light on powerful people, hypocrisy and the First World War." – The Guardian
"Black Diamonds has the great gift of bringing to life personal histories…wonderfully paced and wholly satisfying." – Kate Atkinson, New York Times bestselling author of Life After Life
Gossipy bits…keep the reading lively. The real value of this work is the recounting of the ends of two classes, the lower and the very upper." – Kirkus Reviews
When the sixth Earl Fitzwilliam died in 1902, he left behind the second largest estate in twentieth-century England, valued at more than £3 billion of today's money—a lifeline to the tens of thousands of people who worked either in the family's coal mines or on their expansive estate. The earl also left behind four sons, and the family line seemed assured. But was it? As Bailey retraces the Fitzwilliam family history through Black Diamonds, she uncovers a legacy riddled with bitter feuds, scandals (including Peter Fitzwilliam's ill-fated affair with American heiress Kick Kennedy), and civil unrest as the conflict between the coal industry and its miners came to a head. Once again, Bailey has written an irresistible and brilliant narrative history.
"The goings on at Wentworth are inevitably reminiscent of the fictional Downton Abbey now in its fifth season on Masterpiece Theatre, but they are at once grander, more sordid and generally harder-edged… A jolly good read." – The Washington Times
"Wrenching ... Her book should be read, not just as a warning of the very real dangers of the world, but also of the price to be paid when, in the name of religion, people forget humanity." — The Wall Street Journal
"A sometimes-sweet, sometimes-harrowing memoir by a smart, passionate ultra-Orthodox girl. . . . engrossing and so thoughtfully written, and never mocks the traditions and values of a culture that few of us can fully comprehend." — People.com
"Painfully raw." — Susannah Cahalan, New York Post
In the vein of Prozac Nation and Girl, Interrupted, Cut Me Loose is a brutally honest memoir that tells the story of one woman's struggle to define herself as an individual. Leah Vincent was born into the Yeshivish community, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect that shuns the modern world. When, at sixteen, Leah was caught exchanging letters with a boy—breaking a religious ban on contact between the sexes—her family cut all ties. Sent to live on her own in New York City, adrift and unprepared for the freedoms of secular life, Leah's desperate loneliness coupled with her stubborn loyalty to the dogma of her past pulled her into a vicious cycle of promiscuity and self-harm. It took a shocking state of despair to empower her to transform a life of tragedy into a tale of unexpected triumph, one that illuminates both the oppressive world of religious fundamentalism and the broader issues facing young women from all backgrounds as they grapple with sexuality and identity.
"Gripping. . . . Readers will appreciate Vincent's uncensored honesty in sharing the horrors of her past." —The Washington Post
"As thoughtful and heroic as it is gripping and tragic ... riveting and relatable ... [Vincent] familiarizes, rather than exoticizes, the life she's led ... The finest example of this sort of memoir yet." —Flavorwire
"Visceral and uplifting." —The Daily Beast

The best speakers often use stories as a powerful tool for demonstrating and bringing to life a key message. It's one of the best ways to be memorable. And a really juicy story will keep your audience on the edge of their seats... quite literally. Here's how to incorporate storytelling in public speaking.
So what's the secret to telling great stories to use in public speaking?
Stories don't work when the audience can't visualize what a speaker is talking about. We get lost if things are too dry or abstract.
When you're telling your story, try not to speak from OUTSIDE the experience using memorized words. Speak from within the experience, using personal perspective to help the audience feel, see, and hear what YOU feel about your topic.
Great storytelling has a purpose.

My first celebrity crush was Ricky Schroeder. I tore out the pictures of him from my Teen Beat magazines and taped them to my wall. I even dressed up like him for Halloween once in grammar school - which basically meant I put my hair in a pony tail and wore an argyle sweater vest. Somehow my parents got me to a party for some afterschool special he was in and my memory is that he "stole" my ice cream sundae. I cannot tell you for sure if that is a true memory or a made up memory but whatever it was, it effectively ended my crush on Ricky. I tend to think I was done with him but needed an out.
I had many celebrity crushes over the years too - most notably: Bono (or Larry Mullen Jr., depending on whether I felt like crushing on the underdog) in high school, Kurt Cobain in my college days, and Justin Timberlake in my twenties. While I was working in San Francisco and New York to bring attention to the genocide in Darfur, my celebrity crush was John Prendergast. Though he isn't really a "celebrity", he IS "famous" in the human rights world. I was WAY more excited about meeting him at the Darfur rally in DC that I helped organize than I was to meet either George Clooney or Barak Obama, who were also there. John Prendergast is dreamy - and I guess I am not the only one who thinks so - "they" say that he had a little fling with Angelina Jolie when he brought her to the Congo. Lucky girl.
More recent crushes have been Eric Bana and Daniel Craig - not only because of their obvious appeal, but also because they have each played the part of historically based Jewish heroes. For me, "Jewish" ups the appeal. So does Latin. Which brings me to me current celebrity crush:
Mando from Sesame Street. Yes, this is the truth. I mean, really, come on. Mando is the very best human character on the show and so cute....and that hair! Forget about it. Plus, that voice! Just have a listen:

Frontend Engineer at Unic
Do you also enjoy clicking around on a website and ask yourself in return how this navigation menu, which opens with a nice animation, actually works? Such questions can be answered by a frontend engineer or frontend developer. They are integral to any website, no matter how small. The job of frontend developers is to bring the creations of designers, architects and content providers to life!
Don't worry – you can nevertheless join our team! We are always on the lookout for technology experts, organizational talents, customer carers, allrounders and creative heads. In short: We are looking forward to getting to know you and can't wait to receive your unsolicited application!
What does a Frontend Engineer do at Unic?
As a Frontend Engineer at Unic, you work closely with the creative minds of the UX/UI and content departments to translate their work into languages that the browser can understand. You also form a unit with the experts from the backend to give the websites a data layer. Typically, at least one Frontend Engineer is involved in a project from the beginning. First, he evaluates the feasibility of the customer's wishes and primarily consults with the designers in the team.
Consulting is also part of the knowledge of a frontend engineer, in addition to technical consulting. Once the first phase is completed, the Frontend Engineer gets back to work in the implementation phase of the design. Here, he acts as well as a Consultant, because it is difficult for UI and UX Designers and Information Architects to estimate how complex it is to implement their visions. Once the design is complete, the frontender's favorite phase begins. It starts by bringing everything from digital paper into the browser side-by-side with a backender (which ensures that all information is stored and transmitted cleanly). If there are any ambiguities, he will coordinate with all those involved. And that can - more often than expected - also be the customer.
Which languages can a Frontend Engineer speak?
JavaScript is a language that develops rapidly. So it is not necessary, or even possible, to be an expert in all these areas. Combining these skills and tools, Frontend Engineers develop elegant and responsive websites, which are indispensable for all kinds of companies - whether e-commerce business, IT companies or agencies - in today's world. Be it on the smartphone, the tablet, the laptop or the desktop!
How to become a Frontend Engineer and which development paths are there?
For a long time, Frontend Engineering has been done exclusively by newcomers. At that time they were called webmasters, web designers or web developers. Also today there are many experts that made their frontend development way trough these stages. The majority of future Frontend Engineers, however, will have a different background. As a rule, they are doing a computer science education or a study and specialize in software engineering, more precisely web development. You start as a junior and can move up to professional, senior and expert level. The requirements to each level change constantly, exactly like the industry itself. The vast majority of knowledge must be acquired autodidactically in everyday life. It's not far to become a frontend developer than a former designer or vice versa. Some even practice both at the same time, since these two disciplines spend so much time together.
So you see, as a Frontend Engineer at Unic you won't get bored! If you're interested in working for us take a look at our vacancies. We are looking forward to your application!

- Stocks are ahead of themselves. The rapid increase in the stock market is not being supported by the underlying economic indicators. Expect a pull back in the market soon.
- Employers hired fewer workers in March than economists expected. Non-farm Payrolls rose by 120,000, the smallest increase since October, and 40% less than the 200,000 consensus estimate. Employers added just 0.09% more jobs for the month of March, for an annualized rate of growth of 1.09%. Job growth in the 1% to 2% range is much less than the 2% to 4% rate observed in past economic recoveries, leading to the feeling that the current recovery is weak one.
- The unemployment rate fell to 8.2%, down from 9.1% last August, but that was mainly due to people giving up their search for work. Adding back those who want to work but have stopped looking, plus the people working only part-time but who want more work, the unemployment rate is 14.5%. What little improvement there has been in unemployment rate may reflect an increasing proportion of low-paying positions, temporary jobs, and part-time work, as well as discouraged dropouts from the labor force no longer being counted as unemployed. As I have been saying, "Consumer spending accounts for over 70 percent of total output in the U.S., but consumers remain under pressure due to unemployment, underemployment, slow wage growth, and steeply rising prices for essentials such as medical and gasoline." The squeeze is on.
- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has warned that the economy is not growing fast enough to sustain hiring gains. The consensus of economists now appears to be moving toward a slowdown in GDP growth from 3% to 2%, leading stock analysts to reduce their earnings estimates.
- European stocks have underperformed U.S. stocks over the past 6 weeks, as well as over the past 4 years: relative strength turned down after peaking on 11/27/2007. The official line is that financial stresses in Europe have lessened, but independent private analysts argue that the "solutions" are inadequate, and European debts are far too high to ever be paid. And so, massive and widespread defaults are only a matter of time. And not just defaults by the weak PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain), but also defaults by the whole EU, as the contagion of financial failure of the PIIGS spreads to institutions in the stronger EU members who will lose money on defaulted PIIGS bonds they hold as assets. U.S. banks are also exposed to potential European contagion, and U.S. stocks may be vulnerable to downside risk whenever the European crisis flares up.
- Be prepared for financial "accidents", such as broker-dealer bankruptcies, like Lehman Brothers and MF Global. Make sure that all your securities are held at SIPC insured brokerage firms only. Move cash to FDIC insured U.S. bank accounts or to money market funds that only hold securities fully backed by the U.S. government. This is no time to take any unnecessary risks.
Given the known serious and stubborn economic problems that defy good solutions, as well as major risks to the outlook ahead, we have been implementing a risk-adverse strategy for our trust assets accounts.

When Should You Get an Office Chair for Back Pain?
Most people do not realize the intensity of the back pain until it becomes unbearable. Hence, they tend to take measures when they are at the peak of pain. However, this is not the way to prevent it. You should get an office chair for back pain as soon as you find out that you are going to have to sit for the majority of the day.
If you do not get it straight away, then the ideal time is to get it is when you start feeling that there is a strain on your back after sitting for long hours. It is also ideal to get a chair that will help you if you are overweight. Another time your body indicates that you need a chair if you start having restless legs at night.
Another instance to get an office chair for back pain is when you are working from home as a freelancer. Working from home does not mean that your body will be on break, energy will be consumed and you will still put a strain on your lumbar. If you tend to sit for long hours in front of the computer, then you should opt for chairs that help to avoid backaches and other risks involved.
How to Choose the Best Office Chair for Back Pain?
The following is the foundation for getting the best office chair for back pain.
1. Adjustable Seat Height and Armrests
Seat heights in office chairs are an important factor. A short person will find it difficult to sit on a high chair since they will have to bend over to reach their desk; while a tall person will find it difficult to reach out if the chair is too low. An adjustable height allows the perfect level to work at while the chair supports your back.
Armrests are equally important and they also should be made with features to support your wrists while working. You will find that they provide better posture for your shoulders and eventually your entire spine.
2. Quality of Materials
The selection of the right quality of materials is an important decision as well. Ideally, you should choose padding that lasts long and bounces back to the original shape. The covering should be of a material that is well ventilated and hypoallergenic to ensure that the chair remains fresh and clean.
3. Backrest
An important feature to look for is the backrest of the chair. The backrest refers to the upper back and the bones that offer support. The right padding with the exact pressure points will allow the back to support well. Additionally, it is important to get the correct firmness for ample weight distribution.
4. Neck Rest
Usually, with all the support in a chair, the neck rest seems to be left out. The wrong position of the neck loses the balance the posture of the spine and can hurt the neck as well as the back. A nice neck rest pillow with the office chair can make a great difference. Some chairs also have a pre-attached one while others can be removed.
5. Seat Depth
If the height of the chair is adjustable but the seat depth is wrong, it may cause the chair to be a bad fit for the user. The seat depth should ideally be about 16 to 21 inches off the floor. The user's feet should comfortably touch the ground and the thighs should be parallel to the floor when sitting. Ensure that the feet should not be too heavy on the floor because of the seat; they should touch the floor naturally and lightly.
6. Lumbar Support
Back pain office chairs come with special lumbar support. The support is in a padded usually memory foam shape and allows the natural curved shape of the lower spine to be kept in place. The pressure points are targeted so that the body does not have to put much effort in retaining its natural shape. Some chairs have an adjustable lumbar support which can be adjusted according to the size of the person.
7. Overall Value
You can determine the overall value by ensuring that each and every point of the chair is suited according to your needs and body type. It may be different for every individual and their requirements.
Healthy Sitting Posture to Reduce Back Pain
The following is a guide to the healthiest sitting posture to reduce back pain and how to avoid it.
1. Elbow Measure
The first step is to sit comfortably and ensure that your upper arms are naturally dropped to be in line with the spine. To ensure that the elbows are in the right position, rest them on your workspace and make sure that they are at a 90-degree angle. If the elbows are not in this position, set the height until it reaches this position. Make sure your arms are not stiff.
2. Thigh Measure
Make sure that your thighs are parallel to the floor. Slide your fingers under your thighs and make sure that they are not stuck there. If they seem to be tight, then you need to either adjust the height of your chair and the desk or you need to use a footrest. In case you are tall and you cannot adjust, you will need to raise the height of your desk.
3. Calf Measure
Sit at an angle where your lower back is pushed against the back of the chair. With that posture, make a fist and try to fit it in between the calf and the front of your chair. If your fist gets stuck, then you need to set the backrest forward. You can do this by using lumbar pillows or the adjustability options on your chair.
4. Low Back Support
One of the most important parts of healthy posture is the lower back. The lower back tends to take most of the body weight when sitting which is why it needs to be in the perfect position to help in carrying that weight. Press your bottom against the back of the chair until it is touching it. A cushion should be present that helps keep your lumbar naturally arched without much effort by the body or without making it stiff. The arch should not be too deep otherwise you may start slouching.
5. Resting Eye Level
Once you take the right measurements in sitting in a healthy posture, close your eyes and let your head fall back as per the support of the chair. Slowly open your eyes; you should ideally see the center of your computer screen. If you have to look anywhere but straight ahead, you will need to adjust the height of the desk or the height of the computer if you have the opportunity.
6. Armrest
Armrests are important so that weight of the upper body is not completely on the shoulders and upper back. An armrest should be well padded and they should be able to lift your arms slightly from the shoulders. Armrests also help you maintain a healthy sitting posture and reduce back pain and strain on the wrists.

Split Branch meeting report
Second HUPE Split Branch meeting was held on December 1st, 2017 at Info zona Split. The agenda included:
- HUPE Split Branch work programme for the academic year 2017-18
- Roundtable Discussion: Challenges of Teaching English as a Second Language
- Team building
In the first part of the meeting the branch president informed the attendees about the dates and content of the workshops and activities planned for the current school year.
The roundtable focused on common and specific challenges on the different levels of education and types of educational institutions in the public and private sector: elementary schools, secondary schools (general education high- schools / vocational schools) and language schools. After a short introduction by Miranda Barac, Branka Šegvić and Vanja Fazinić, fifteen teachers actively took part in the discussion. The purpose of this meeting was to identify problems our teacher colleagues face in their everyday work in order to gain the wider picture and increase mutual understanding, to share information, experience and ways to deal with these challenges.
Although there is no one-size-fits-all approach or situation when teaching English to students of varying ages and language proficiency level, all participants agreed that one of the greatest challenges in ESL teaching are mixed ability classes. Formal education programmes and teacher trainings do not sufficiently prepare teachers for a room full of students who can range from the gifted, to students whose achievements are below the grade due to learning difficulties. Teachers lack the knowledge of strategies to use in the classroom for a wide range of ability and to meet the needs of students with special educational needs.
In secondary vocational schools a considerable number of students with learning difficulties is one of the major problems. Some of the participants shared their experiences of visiting partnership schools in other countries. As an example of a good European practice, the secondary vocational school Oriani Mazzini, from Milan, Italy was mentioned, where students with special needs, who are placed in general-education classrooms, receive a support of special education teachers.
The participants agreed that the level to which special need students are able to master general education content can to a great extent depend on the appropriate support they receive. We concluded that non-disabled students also benefit in mixed-ability classrooms by forming positive relation and learning how to accept the variety of people. We agreed to share materials for teaching SENs students.
The attendees discussed the ways to motivate our students to learn English in order to improve their language proficiency and prepare them for the state school – leaving exam, i.e. the Matura exam.
We exchanged views on teaching English to the new generation of students who acquire language due to the extensive engagement with digital media in their everyday lives. These students are usually above-level speakers and listeners. They can not only understand complex topics, but they are also able to speak fluently and denote finer meaning. The growing presence of media in our general lives and the new generation of students have set before teachers requirements for continuous training and enhancement of professional skills necessary for creating an environment which stimulates creativity and learning. We shared tips and strategies for teaching mixed ability classes.
The meeting ended with a team building activity designed to teach participants to solve problems in a group and communicate effectively.

Before I get into that, I want to recommend a fantastic documentary I found today. It's a documentary on Ram Dass, one of the most well-known Western Hindus. He says something at the beginning that is very wise. He describes his thoughts during the stroke he suffered. He says "I realize that I have a lot more work to do." To hear this man, who has so much more wisdom than I have, say that, I am comforted.
Anyway. I can't really answer the "who is God" question for other people, but I can begin to answer what it means to me, and offer a bit of personal spiritual history.
My great grandfather was an Episcopal priest. He started out in New York and then spent periods of time in various places as a mission priest (which basically means that he acted as a priest for a parish until a more permanent, or another priest could be found). He ended up in Key West, Florida, where my grandmother was born. I think she probably would have been a priest, too, if she could have done that. As it was, she raised her sons as devout Episcopalians. My uncle entered the priesthood and then became American Orthodox and is now an Archpriest.
My mom's family is Roman Catholic, and as a child she planned on entering a convent. She did that for a little while, joining the MaryKnoll order as a novice. Now, my mom had intended to be a contemplative, or in her words "a quiet person who does a lot of praying." She also wanted to do good in the world at large. Unfortunately, while the MaryKnoll order is great at doing good in the world at large (they're a missionary order), they're not "quiet people." (I bet they do a lot of praying, nonetheless.) So in a bizarre storybook twist, she left and became a governess. Then she did a lot of personal exploration, almost joined the Rev. Moon's group, and eventually met my dad.
And then when my brother and I were born, she let us choose when to be baptized, though we went through Sunday school and went to church every Sunday. I went to church camp every year. I was actually pretty darn religious. I was confirmed, knew my rosary (an overachiever, even in nonacademic things).
Somewhere in there, I don't know when exactly, I stopped believing what I was praying in church. During my mom's exploratory period, she had read a lot of Shirley McLaine and her books on past life regression. While that wasn't specifically part of what my mom brought us up believing, my brother and I have always believed strongly in reincarnation. Along with a healthy dose of skepticism, my beliefs were generally pretty heretical. In my senior year of high school, I practiced Wicca for a little while, but soon discovered that it was not for me. I need tradition and structure. So I went back to the Episcopal church, mostly for the ritual. I kind of sporadically went to church in college.
I met my husband in college. At the end of my last year, he proposed, and we scheduled the wedding for the end of that year. Part of that was finding a church in Atlanta, which also meant that we needed to be able to go to church on a fairly regular basis. So we joined one, were married in it, and then went to church at least once a month. I was involved enough to help a friend become formally accepted, just in time to come to the pretty earth-shaking realization that while the community was great and I had sort of made a commitment, it was no longer a place where I felt spiritually fulfilled.
So I dug my old Amar Chitra Katha Ramayana out of storage. I read it, then a prose translation, and then immediately went out and bought a copy of the Upanishads and Hinduism: A Beginner's Guide (don't laugh – I was a complete beginner). It was like I had found the final missing piece to a jigsaw puzzle. It all made sense. Every (I thought) anomalous piece of spiritual thought I'd carried with me all my life suddenly fit, and the whole it made was Sanatana Dharma.
However, I can't seem to figure out which specific aspect of God speaks to me most strongly. Is it Rama, who I learned about as a child? How about Ganesha, who seems to find me again and again? Or maybe Shiva? Saraswati? Lakshmi? Krishna?
A friend of mine said that it may not hurt to pray to all of them for the time being, because more benevolent listening ears is probably a good thing. I really should be patient and wait it out, because it will eventually all make sense and sort itself out, but I continue to struggle with my own impatience.
Obviously I need to meditate more.

E-Signature or electronic signing of documents now part of Agile CRM
One of the last hurdles in the new digital economy has been the use of Electronic Signature or E-Signatures so that business can be conducted remotely with trust. There are many third party tools for adding E-Signatures (also called as eSign) to documents but they all require you to load another application and cost more. Agile CRM is now introducing E-Signature as yet another feature that comes pre bundled along with other 50+ features at no extra charge for all users.
What is Electronic Signature?
Also referred to as an E-signature or eSignature, it is an electronic marker that indicates that a person is agreeing or approving a contract or the contents of a document.
Is Electronic Signature legal?
According to the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, otherwise known as the "ESIGN Act", electronic signatures have the same legal standing as signatures using pen and paper. A contract or document cannot be denied its legal effect, validity, or enforceability because it's in the electronic form.
Electronic signatures are legally enforceable in the US, Canada, U.K., Australia, the EU, and many more countries. However, there are still some cases where handwritten signatures are required. For example, in the U.S, registration to vote and receiving a new driver license still require a handwritten signature.
Benefits of Electronic Signatures
In this technology driven world, the traditional way of physically signing a document is tedious, cumbersome, and expensive.
Customers could be halfway around the world and E-Documents make it easy to get them signed. For example, a real estate agent can get customers to understand terms and sign contracts quickly even while they are traveling. Similarly, two companies can sign confidentiality agreements immediately using E-Signatures.
How to eSign a Document in Agile CRM?
The authorization is usually in the form of simply Typing or Signing your name on a panel or Uploading the Signed image. Here are the 3 Steps needed to eSign a document in Agile CRM:
- Create an E-Document by associating Contact and Deal
- Add Signature merge fields of Contact and Owner
- Send E-Document to customer as email
At the other end, Customer opens the E-Document and signs it. If you want to see the details please watch this quick screencast click here.
In a nutshell, Agile CRM now offers integrated Electronic Signatures so that you can sign your documents electronically and conduct your business faster than ever without having to buy additional applications.

I'm looking for something that can be made to give access to certain secure files once someone has signed a particular agreement. Do you have anything like this or is it something that can be managed with your services?Reply

Can I create a Template document without associating a contact or deal immediately? I want my template in the system before I assign it to make sure there are no typos or errors.Reply
Saketh Rasakatlaabout 2 years ago
Yes, that's possible. You can create a document template and save it for using it in the future.Reply

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy concept art debuts
Game Informer has debuted four pieces of concept art from the Naughty Dog's upcoming Uncharted game, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which you can check out below!
RELATED: Don't Expect Another Uncharted Game After The Lost Legacy
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is set in the Western Ghats, a mountain range in India. The outlet reports that lead character Chloe Frazer, having first appeared in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, will recall memories of her archaeologist father who told her about the history of India as a child.
"It gets a little more personal with Chloe than we've ever gone, tying the culture and stories of the Hindu gods, even the story of the Hoysala Empire and the kings that ruled there," says creative director Shaun Escayg.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is set to feature Chloe teaming up with Nadine Ross, one of the villains from Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. The pair team up in order to recover a fabled ancient Indian artifact and keep it out of the hands of a ruthless war profiteer. Together, they'll venture deep into the mountains of India in search of the legendary artifact. Along the way, they'll learn to work together to unearth the mystery of the artifact, fight their way through fierce opposition, and prevent the region from falling into chaos.
The title will be available as a standalone game on store shelves and for digital download. Players that already purchased the Uncharted 4 Digital Deluxe Edition or the Explorer's Pack, will get Uncharted: The Lost Legacy as a download at launch.

I didn't get a chance to go to TechEd Berlin, but I've been watching the videos online. The user interface to the website is not super great. I shouldn't complain too much. I'm super grateful that they posted all the videos from that week online so quickly. By comparison, it will take two weeks to get the SQL Pass 2010 videos online.
Here's where the SQL Azure videos start (page 19 of the video list):
SQL Azure Reporting videos are on page 20:
Here is where the SQL videos start (page 18):
SQL Videos for BI/PowerPivot etc (page 21):
There were a few other presentations that I thought would be interesting to the SQL developer/DBA:
Introduction to PowerShell
SSRS 2008R2 Integration with SharePoint 2010
Creating Self-Service Analytic BI Applications with SharePoint 2010
Code First Development with Entity Framework
Building Business Applications with Visual Studio LightSwitch (which seems to be the MS Access front end for SQL Server....it's super cool.)
The Future of C#
Phew, that ought to keep us busy for a long time. Have fun and happy watching!

The Nordyne furnace in my mobile home is running but not heating up. I bought the home in May, this is the first I've run the heat (A/C has worked great all summer, office said the furnace was heating up fine Jan thru March). Handyman from my mobile home community took a look. It's running, but a yellow flashing light above green light indicates not enough gas pressure coming in. He says it runs a bit then shuts off, that is why I'm at least staying around 40 degrees in the home, but it is cool air coming out of the vents. I had gas company come out. Gas pressure is accurate coming into my home and on the gas pipe coming into the furnace itself. The furnace has a "converter" box mounted in front. It has a red-orange switch on a curve off the left edge of the box that was set to "on." If you push button in a set to "off" there is no change in the heat.
Handyman explained that converter is for converting from propane (higher pressure input) to natural gas (lower pressure). Might there be a setting or switch that isn't set correctly?
I have a repair service scheduled for this Fri, but would like to understand more before they arrive and fix if I can myself.
Nordyne model # is M1MB070ABW. Serial #M1A061202463
Converter box reads:
Robert Shaw
24 VAC 0.35 Amp full wave
And 491 is embossed in the metal of the box.
Furnace not heating up

Managing your diabetes with insulin is not so easy. You're doing your best to watch what you eat, how you exercise, and you take your medication as recommended...yet your blood sugar levels still fluctuate. It can be a real struggle. You don't always feel in control, you get some highs and lows. You feel tired or irritated, sometimes you feel down.
It's important for you to be able to recognize the symptoms of highs and lows, so that you can remain in control and know what you can do to treat them. Now is the time to take action.
Talk to your healthcare professional as a first step, as he/she will be able to recommend adjustments that can help you manage your diabetes better; have a read of our handy diabetes checklist for topics that you may want to discuss with your healthcare professional.
Below are some factors that are known to cause blood sugar fluctuations.
The medication I take:
Is your current treatment the most appropriate for you?
Certain diabetes medications, including insulins and their doses, affect blood sugar levels and may produce different results in different people. Even if you follow your prescribed treatment exactly as your doctor has recommended, you may still experience highs and lows. You're not alone. It's important to feel confident and happy with your diabetes management. Why don't you ask your doctor if your treatment doses are appropriate or if other more suitable treatment options may be available for you?
My diet:
Can your healthcare professional recommend a better diet plan with your treatment option?
A good meal plan should fit with your schedule, eating habits and medical treatment. Ask your healthcare professional to help you find the right meal plan that will complement your diabetes treatment option and help you achieve your target blood sugar level.
When I'm not feeling well:
Is your level of physical activity impacting your blood sugar control?
Having the common cold, flu or suffering from allergies can have an impact on your diabetes medication treatment and therefore keep you from achieving your target level of blood sugar control. Tell your doctor about any other medical condition you may have. Small changes to your current treatment may help you manage your blood glucose better during an illness.
My level of activity:
Is your level of physical activity impacting your blood sugar control?
Regular exercise and a healthy diet combined with an adequate/customized diabetes medical treatment are important to manage your highs and lows. Speak to your healthcare professional about the level of exercise that may be good for you. He/she will be able to tell you if you need to change your level of activity, your meals or your medical treatment to achieve a better blood sugar balance.
Times when I feel low and stressed:
Discuss with your healthcare professional your levels of stress and your state of emotional well-being, as these factors may affect your glycemic control.
There is an emotional burden that comes with managing a chronic condition like diabetes. You're not alone, many people with diabetes often experience high levels of diabetes-related distress and anxiety. The stress of daily management with different results in blood sugar levels can be frustrating and overwhelming. Talk to your doctor, he/she can reassure you by helping you to customize your diabetes medical treatment.

Wall -E
We went to see the Disney/Pixar movie Wall -E. It was funny, sad, cute, but I didn't really think it was a kid's movie. Now, it didn't have any bad words, it wasn't scary or anything like that. I just think that maybe little kids will not really connect or get it. KWIM? Maybe I am not giving kids the benefit of the doubt? Stace and I felt there was a definite "Green" message about overconsumption and we weren't really expecting that. It was very interesting. Everyone should see it!

Bliss loved it, especially the "friendship" story with Eve and Wall-E (he tends to see it as everyone needing a friend rather than a love story per se). He got the environmental side pretty well on his own though, they really do get so much more than we usually (than I even often) give them credit for.
Glad you liked it.

Ultimate Gaming Tablet - HUAWEI MediaPad M5
The HUAWEI MediaPad M5 also comes with HUAWEI's Kirin 960 Octa-core CPU system to ensure smooth gaming sessions with minimum lag issues. Running on the EMUI 8.0 system, users can also expect the HUAWEI MediaPad M5 to receive the GPU Turbo Update, a pioneering technology for mobile gaming from HUAWEI in the near future.
The HUAWEI MediaPad M5 is now available in Space Gray and Champagne Gold and retails at RM 1,499. if you are interested, you will each receive a specially-tailored gamepad and a free six month premium subscription on Viu. Gifts are only available while stocks last, so customers are urged to act quickly before missing the opportunity!
|Ultimate Gaming Tablet - HUAWEI MediaPad M5
- The Definition of Mobile Gaming Excellence
You can play some of the best and latest mobile games on a good mobile gaming device, but the must-have features should involve the best visuals and performance for a truly seamless experience. The HUAWEI MediaPad M5 is not just a gaming device, it is an engineering feat that has pushed the boundaries of mobile gaming technology. Huawei's unrivalled commitment to innovation for over 20 years in the industry has now culminated in the HUAWEI MediaPad M5 range, designed to be an excellent platform for casual and hardcore gamers alike, and for the younger generation that seeks out new experiences and has a hunger for both creating and consuming content.
- A Breakthrough in Design
The HUAWEI MediaPad M5 is positioned as the best gaming tablet on the market to date, and there are very little reasons to argue against it. Larger than your typical smartphone but a little smaller than the average tablet at 8.4-inches, the HUAWEI MediaPad M5 has the perfect balance of hand-held comfortability and clear vision for every movement on the screen. Its industry-first 2.5D glass screen, which was previously tailored only for smartphones, makes a sleek and beautiful curved glass design that is ergonomic and eye-catching.
The graphics of the device is indeed a stunner – the latest ClariVu 5.0 display enhancement technology uses intelligent algorithms to adjust photos and video playback if images are unclear or the contrast ratio drops, keeping them crisp and clear in a 2560x1600 display.
As seen on previous HUAWEI models, they have partnered with Harman Kardon on audio hardware design, speaker tuning and audio testing, to deliver the best possible sound performance from the HUAWEI MediaPad M5. With two speakers, the device uses smart power amplifier chips, speaker boxes and a loudspeaker to produce sound you will never forget.
- Revolutionary Performance within Your Fingertips
If you looking for a hardcore gaming marathon will be thrilled with the HUAWEI MediaPad M5's 5,100 mAh battery, allowing 11 hours of 1080p video playback. In the case of a low battery emergency, the HUAWEI MediaPad M5 supports HUAWEI's Quick Charge technology which can fully charge the 8.4-inch tablet in under 2 hours.
