James Mason has one of the best jobs in the world. As editor of the Globe, one of London's leading tabloids, his job is all about entertainment. It's about publicly humiliating the more fortunate, such as politicians and celebrities, for the pleasure of the less fortunate. And if James Mason has learned nothing else in his nearly twenty years on Fleet Street, it's that nothing entertains and nothing humiliates quite like infidelity. When the opportunity arises to expose the infidelity of one of Britain's leading politicians with a high-class call girl, James doesn't hesitate to take it. But how does James cope when his own infidelity is exposed and the details of his year-long affair with London socialite and "It" girl, Sienna Barrett, are splashed on the front pages of rival newspapers? If James Mason is in the relationship-destruction business, then his wife, Dr. Deborah Sacks, a world-renowned marriage therapist, is in the relationship-salvation business. For Deborah almost everyone deserves a second chance, even those who are guilty of infidelity. But how does Deborah cope with her own husband's adultery? From attending film premieres in Leicester Square with Hollywood actors to launching the Globe's new Page 5 Girls, the life of James Mason is always entertaining. But tabloid editors by the very nature of their jobs have their enemies. And in James's case many of them will stop at nothing to exact revenge. Soon James is fighting to save not just his marriage but also his career. First Edition should appeal to fans of Nick Hornby (High Fidelity), Sophie Kinsella (Confessions of a Shopaholic), Helen Fielding (Bridget Jones), Jonathan Tropper (This is Where I Leave You) and Lauren Weisberger (The Devil Wears Prada).

In the early twenty-first century, key public health issues and challenges have taken centre stage on the global scene, and health has been placed at the heart of our collective aspirations for human development and well-being. But significant debate exists not only about the causes, but also about the possible solutions for nearly all of the most important global health challenges.Competing visions of the values and perspectives that should underlie global health policies have emerged, ranging from an emphasis on cost eff ectiveness and resource constraints on one extreme, to new calls for health and human rights, and renewed calls for health and social justice on the other. The role of different intergovernmental agencies, bilateral or unilateral donors, public or private institutions and initiatives, has increasingly been called into question, whilst the spread of neoliberal policies and programmes, and existing international trade regimes and intellectual property rights, are deeply implicated in relation to global health responses.This volume critically evaluates how the global health industry has evolved and how the interests of diverse political and economic stakeholders are shaping the context of a rapidly changing institutional landscape. Bringing together leading authors from across the world, the Handbook's eight sections explore: - Critical perspectives on global health- Globalisation, neoliberalism, and health systems- The changing shape of global health governance- Development assistance and the politics of global health- Scale-up, scale-down, and the sustainability of global health programmes- Intellectual property rights, trade relations, and global health- Humanitarian emergencies and global health politics- Human rights, social justice, and global healthThe Routledge Handbook on the Politics of Global Health addresses both the emerging issues and conceptualisations of the political strategies, policy-making processes, and global governance of global health, along with expanding upon and highlighting the critical priorities in this rapidly evolving field. It provides an authoritative overview for students, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers working in or concerned with the politics of public health around the globe.

A radical work of history that re-centers the American story around El Paso, Texas, gateway between north and south, center of indigenous power and resistance, locus of European colonization of North America, centuries-long hub of immigration, and underappreciated modern blueprint for a changing United States. American history is almost always told from East to West. Yet a closer look at the past reveals the country's start began not in the East, but in the West-at a Texan city situated in a natural shallow crossing of the Rio Grande River: El Paso. El Paso is the crossroads of Indigenous America, the nexus of a thousand-year-old Native American migration and trade route, linking MesoAmerican and Pueblo empires and beyond. It's where the European conquest of North America began, and where the United States' Manifest Destiny was later achieved. Here, East met West, where the consequential transatlantic route, the Southern Pacific, was completed in 1881. Here the West was "won"-the Indian Wars were not fought on the Great Plains, but in the Southwest, with a scorched-earth strategy that went on for decades. It's where Immigrant America starts-more immigrants have passed through El Paso than Ellis Island-and where crucial battles for Civil Rights were fought-the city smashing through racial and ethnic discrimination before anywhere else in the nation. The Crossing is a revelatory new history of El Paso that recasts the city as the unacknowledged cradle of American history, where cultures have encountered each other for centuries and forged a thriving multi-ethnic community far ahead of the rest of the nation. As award-winning, El Paso-native journalist Richard Parker charts, the city holds not only the framework of our American story, but also a model for a more diverse and flourishing country.

The phrase "Salesforce@scale Dilemma" was coined by Forrester, the industry analysts.Internal success in an organization breeds demand for more and more. The complexity of scale then crushes Salesforce's responsiveness. As Salesforce use grows, innovation slows, and flexibility evaporates. Why? Every app change risks breaking one of hundreds of data and process customizations, integration links, and third-party add-ons. The Salesforce@scale dilemma is a challenge for customers to overcome, not an inevitable outcome of a Salesforce implementation.What Admins and Consultants have been searching for is a simple, easily implemented and repeatable approach for cleanup and documentation. It also needs to work for new builds, no matter the size or complexity of Org. And it must be sustainable as the Org evolves.Where do you start with an Org that has 20,000+ meta data items? Our HOW. WHAT. WHY. approach is simple, practical and achievable. It takes an operational perspective to help clean up and document an Org. But it is also the approach to keep an Org well documented, so the Salesforce@scale issues do not kick in.Whilst the approach can be delivered with spreadsheets, the field analysis is massively time consuming, and the config documentation proves almost impossible to maintain.This is why we've spent the last 3 years building Elements Catalyst. It is an app specifically designed to support Admins and Consultants to deliver Salesforce projects more effectively. It has enterprise scalability and security built in and it is architected to work with the most complex Orgs with multiple Production and Sandboxes. The powerful analysis helps accelerate clean-up efforts and it becomes the central source of all documentation and collaboration for the Org.A key driver for many organizations is migration to Lightning. This is a significant project which needs careful planning and analysis. The book looks at this specific use case and shows how the approach dovetails with the best practice advice from Salesforce and their experience of migrating their largest internal Org - Org62.The benefits of moving to Lightning are huge. Salesforce's own research of over 500 companies who had made the switch makes compelling reading; 31% less time managing pipe and 28% less time standardizing processes, with 21% uplift in win rates, 29% faster reporting, 40% improved collaboration, and 41% higher productivity.Therefore, anything that can accelerate migration must be seriously considered. The first phase of the Lightning Experience Rollout is "Discover" which requires an understanding of what has been configured, a reassessment of business processes to exploit the new Lightning functionality, and a clean-up of the Org.The approach can deliver tangible savings in this phase. But embedding the good habits means that new Lightning configurations that need to be built to support the migration are well documented. This builds a strong foundation for future enhancements.The final critical part in the migration is strong change management to drive up user adoption. The existing documentation can be reused as training material, embedded in the new Lightning pages. Any fine tuning to incorporate user feedback is easily implemented. The approach and Elements Catalyst app provide a very powerful combination to help mitigate the Salesforce@scale Dilemma, so that Salesforce potential is not limited by its own success.

This is a three-volume project of readings of individual sections from the central modernist long poem, The Cantos of Ezra Pound. The project as a whole represents a landmark publication for modernist studies, bringing together, in a ground-breaking format, a number of critical readings of The Cantos by the world's leading Pound and modernist scholars. In each chapter a contributor approaches either a single Canto or a defined small group of Cantos in isolation, providing a clear, informative, and interpretive 'reading' that includes an up-to-date assessment of sources and an idea of recent critical approaches to the work. Most importantly, each essay offers guidance to those wishing to understand the works while contributing to the creation of a new manner of reading The Cantos as a remarkably diverse but coherent work. This first volume illuminates the gestation of the Cantos-technique and includes essays on the most important Cantos and groups of Cantos from the Ur-Cantos (early, discarded versions of the beginning of Pound's poem), A Draft of XVI Cantos (1924), A Draft of the Cantos 17-27 (1928), and Eleven New Cantos XXXI-XLI, also known as "Jefferson-Nuevo Mundo" (1934).
