Van Gogh
Haggard, exhausted and on the verge of wasting away, the Vincent Van imitation hermes mens belt Gogh of Maurice Pialat's biopic is more of a ragged tramp than a great master. Picking up Van Gogh's life story in the months Hermes belt replica paris before he committed suicide in 1890, Pialat avoids all the usual ear slicing mythmaking in favour of a portrait of the artist as a melancholic old man.
Unlike other, more famous, Van Gogh movies, Pialat spends remarkably little time watching the artist at work. Instead, he charts his antagonistic relationships with those around him, including his art dealer brother Theo (Bernard Lecoq), kindly patron Dr Gachet (Grard Sty) and Gachet's daughter, Marguerite (Alexandra London), who falls for the painter's unbalanced charms.
On the few occasions that Pialat contrives to let us watch the artist at his easel, Jacques Dutronc's fake hermes belt price phenomenal intensity comes to the fore. He wrestles with each stroke of the brush, beating the paint into submission with bestial ferocity, before dismissively abandoning each canvas as "smudges that will never be worth a cent".
The actor discovers a tragic irony underlying Van Gogh's sense of overwhelming failure as, surrounded by cowards and weaklings too afraid or stupid to admit to his greatness, he hounds himself towards the inevitable end, destroying everything in his wake and little realising the importance of his work.
What makes "Van Gogh" so remarkable, though, is Pialat and Dutronc's refusal to fit this suicidal descent into the usual rhythms of the biopic. Conjuring a performance that's constantly full of surprises, hermes classic belt replica Dutronc flirts with his character's despair, swinging from depression to elation with bewildering speed.

Van Gogh and the decision that changed art history
In the spring of 1878, Vincent van Gogh turned 25. As he looked back over his short life, the Dutchman found little to celebrate among the meagre endeavours of his faltering career. By conventional, middle class standards, he was a failure.
A stint working for an art dealership first in The Hague then in London and Paris hadn worked out: shy and awkward, he didn take to the profession, and in 1876, he was fired. That was followed by a couple of dead end teaching jobs in England, as well as a short, forgettable spell working in a bookshop in Dordrecht, before he moved to Amsterdam to become a minister of religion, following in his father footsteps.
However, he didn have the patience or rigour to master the necessary study, so in 1878 a few months after his 25th birthday he left for Brussels, in order to enrol in a swifter training school for evangelists. Even this, though, was beyond him. After a three month trial period in which his performance was less than mediocre, he was told that he would not be admitted to the course.
By now, Van Gogh family was beginning to despair. He had not curbed his socially inept and awkward manner, which was exacerbated by an eccentric tendency to dress in a deliberately unkempt fashion. How could an oddball like Vincent ever hope to scrape a living? His father was beginning to wonder whether replica birkin handbags his eldest son should be admitted to a mental hospital.
Van Gogh, though, was still fired with religious zeal and remained adamant that he could find work as an evangelist. At the end of 1878, he set off for the depressed coalmining district of the Borinage to the west of the city of Mons in Belgium, determined to establish himself as a lay preacher to the working class.

The making of a master
As a new exhibition, Van Gogh in the Borinage, at BAM (Beaux Arts Mons) documents, he stayed in the region until October 1880, when he returned to Brussels. (Mons is one of the European capitals of culture for 2015.) Although ultimately his ambitions to become an evangelist would be thwarted things got so bad that at one point his sister suggested that he should re train as a baker the Borinage was the making of Van Gogh in one fundamental respect. It was here, encouraged by his gentle brother Theo, that he decided to become an artist.
The startling thing is that his experiences in the Borinage seem to have set the template for many subjects and motifs that would continue to fascinate him as an artist over the next decade, until his death from a self inflicted gunshot wound to the chest in the summer of 1890.
True to form, life for Van Gogh in the Borinage was not straightforward. He lived in a humble hut, gave away much of his money, and swapped his smart clothes for the practical work wear of the Unfortunately, he was not a gifted orator, so his meetings were sparsely attended. His inability to connect with the local coalminers was compounded by a practical, linguistic difficulty: he couldn make head or tail of their quick fire patois known as French while they were mystified by his own attempts at French, which to their ears sounded overly formal and fussy.

Yet it was at this rock bottom moment that Van Gogh, now 26, tentatively started to draw. His religious zeal dissipated, and instead he focused on training as a draughtsman. often feel homesick for the country of paintings, he wrote to his brother Theo in the summer of 1880 suggesting, perhaps, that he missed the day to day encounters with works of art that he had enjoyed while working as an art dealer. the first time in his life, middle class Van Gogh was friends with poor, working class people, says Sjraar Van Heugten, who has curated Van Gogh in the Borinage. people were poor and illiterate, and their work was hard and dangerous. Yet for Van Gogh, there was some kind of bigger truth in their simple way of life. After he became an artist, he chose to find his subject matter there. Like artists that he admired, such as Jean Fran Millet, he wanted to portray the life of working class people, and he remained interested in doing so certainly for the first half of his career. Really, replica hermes handbags outlet it stayed important to him forever. addition to this general concern for everyday reality and the rural poor, particular motifs that Van Gogh encountered in the Borinage would later feature prominently in his art. As he once put it in imitiaton hermes bag a letter: was in the Borinage that I began to work from nature for the first time. of his first drawings are of those cottages, and that motif remained important to him throughout his career some of his last paintings are of cottages, for instance. So there are quite a few echoes in his oeuvre at the end that relate directly to the Borinage. noticeable echo recalls the way that Van Gogh trained himself to draw in the Borinage by copying black and white prints after famous works fashion cheap hermes handbags of art. in 1889 in Saint R [in southern France where Van Gogh institutionalised himself at the end of his life] he picks that up again except this time producing colourful paintings.

From the early beginnings until his last days, he remained completely loyal to a basis of subject matter and this allowed him to go very far in experimenting with style and colour, so that he could become the modern artist we remember today.

In the spring of 1878, Vincent van Gogh turned 25. As he looked back over his short life, the Dutchman found little to celebrate among the meagre endeavours of his faltering career. By conventional, middle class standards, he was a failure.
A stint working for an art dealership first in The Hague then in London and Paris hadn worked out: shy and awkward, he didn take to the profession, and in 1876, he was fired. That was followed by a couple of dead end teaching jobs in England, as well as a short, forgettable spell working in a bookshop in Dordrecht, before he moved to Amsterdam to become a minister of religion, following in his father footsteps.
However, he didn have the patience or rigour to master the necessary study, so in 1878 a few months after his 25th birthday he left for Brussels, in order to enrol in a swifter training school for evangelists. Even this, though, was beyond him. After a three month trial period in which his performance was less than mediocre, he was told that he would not be admitted to the course.
By now, Van Gogh family was beginning to despair. He had not curbed his socially inept and awkward manner, which was exacerbated by an eccentric tendency to dress in a deliberately unkempt fashion. How could an oddball like Vincent ever hope to scrape a living? His father was beginning to wonder whether replica birkin handbags his eldest son should be admitted to a mental hospital.
Van Gogh, though, was still fired with religious zeal and remained adamant that he could find work as an evangelist. At the end of 1878, he set off for the depressed coalmining district of the Borinage to the west of the city of Mons in Belgium, determined to establish himself as a lay preacher to the working class.

The making of a master
As a new exhibition, Van Gogh in the Borinage, at BAM (Beaux Arts Mons) documents, he stayed in the region until October 1880, when he returned to Brussels. (Mons is one of the European capitals of culture for 2015.) Although ultimately his ambitions to become an evangelist would be thwarted things got so bad that at one point his sister suggested that he should re train as a baker the Borinage was the making of Van Gogh in one fundamental respect. It was here, encouraged by his gentle brother Theo, that he decided to become an artist.
The startling thing is that his experiences in the Borinage seem to have set the template for many subjects and motifs that would continue to fascinate him as an artist over the next decade, until his death from a self inflicted gunshot wound to the chest in the summer of 1890.
True to form, life for Van Gogh in the Borinage was not straightforward. He lived in a humble hut, gave away much of his money, and swapped his smart clothes for the practical work wear of the Unfortunately, he was not a gifted orator, so his meetings were sparsely attended. His inability to connect with the local coalminers was compounded by a practical, linguistic difficulty: he couldn make head or tail of their quick fire patois known as French while they were mystified by his own attempts at French, which to their ears sounded overly formal and fussy.

Yet it was at this rock bottom moment that Van Gogh, now 26, tentatively started to draw. His religious zeal dissipated, and instead he focused on training as a draughtsman. often feel homesick for the country of paintings, he wrote to his brother Theo in the summer of 1880 suggesting, perhaps, that he missed the day to day encounters with works of art that he had enjoyed while working as an art dealer. the first time in his life, middle class Van Gogh was friends with poor, working class people, says Sjraar Van Heugten, who has curated Van Gogh in the Borinage. people were poor and illiterate, and their work was hard and dangerous. Yet for Van Gogh, there was some kind of bigger truth in their simple way of life. After he became an artist, he chose to find his subject matter there. Like artists that he admired, such as Jean Fran Millet, he wanted to portray the life of working class people, and he remained interested in doing so certainly for the first half of his career. Really, replica hermes handbags outlet it stayed important to him forever. addition to this general concern for everyday reality and the rural poor, particular motifs that Van Gogh encountered in the Borinage would later feature prominently in his art. As he once put it in imitiaton hermes bag a letter: was in the Borinage that I began to work from nature for the first time. of his first drawings are of those cottages, and that motif remained important to him throughout his career some of his last paintings are of cottages, for instance. So there are quite a few echoes in his oeuvre at the end that relate directly to the Borinage. noticeable echo recalls the way that Van Gogh trained himself to draw in the Borinage by copying black and white prints after famous works fashion cheap hermes handbags of art. in 1889 in Saint R [in southern France where Van Gogh institutionalised himself at the end of his life] he picks that up again except this time producing colourful paintings. He was still going back to the origins of his career. works from Van Gogh Borinage period have survived, because the artist destroyed most of them, as he revealed in a letter to a friend. Perhaps he felt they were too clumsy or redolent of an uncertain time when he was still developing his own style and artistic voice.

Vice President of Marketing
MICHELLE VAN SLYKE joined The UPS Store, Inc., in November 2010 as vice president of marketing. Van Slyke spent the first 15 years of her career at Ford Motor Company, holding positions such as corporate advertising manager, global process and strategy manager and vice president of marketing for Jaguar. Past positions include vice president of marketing at Mercedes Benz and Hyundai Motor America. More recently, Van Slyke was chief marketing officer at Jacuzzi Group Worldwide and Raley's. Van Slyke holds a bachelor's degree from University of Southern California and a master's degree in business administration from University of Notre Dame.
How has your life experience made you the leader you are today?
Growing up, I knew that in order to build the career I wanted and become the successful person I wanted to be, I not only needed to go to college, but I needed to go to a great one. After attending the University of Southern California for my undergraduate degree and going on to Notre Dame for my master's degree, I began my marketing career at Ford Motor Company.
Ford had exactly what I needed to start my career training, and an opportunity for growth into senior level sales hermes mens belt replica and marketing positions. My second day on the job, I was stationed in the call center speaking to customers. Ford believed it was important for their sales and marketing teams to connect directly with customers. Today, I look back and realize that a major reason my career has been as successful is because I learned early on to care about the customer.
It's important to understand how critical experience is. People tend to want to jump into management positions, but nothing prepares you better for a leadership role than working your way up.
How has your previous employment experience aided your position at The UPS Store?
I've been in the world of franchising most of my business career and virtually my entire life. Growing up, my parents owned a franchise, so I got to see the both the rewards and the difficult challenges of franchise ownership firsthand. Ultimately, working alongside my parents is what contributed to my understanding of franchisee ownership and prepared me for my career.
Later, during my years at Ford, I was working in the field directly with local dealership owners and managers on how to improve business. This experience also provided me with firsthand knowledge and an appreciation for the basics of franchising and gave me a greater understanding of what it means to work with an independent business owner.
Today, I use these experiences to help coach my team. I strongly hermes classic belt replica urge everyone in the our department to work in a The UPS Store center for at least five days each year to gain experience working directly with small business customers, store employees and franchisees. That firsthand knowledge is what makes you a better marketer.
What have the highlights and challenges been during your tenure at The UPS Store?
As my career revved up, I developed a strong desire to do two things: work with one of our nation's leading brands, and be a part of a strong leadership team. When the opportunity became available at The UPS Store, that's exactly what I found. But I also realized there was a lot to be done.
When I started with the company, my first priority was developing a comprehensive marketing strategy. Once established it helped me outline a list of things that could be improved upon. Four years later, I'm proud to say my greatest success has been checking items off that list. For example we've completely redesigned the website, added online print capabilities, better defined our key target market (the small business customer), and diversified our portfolio of services to better serve those customers. With each passing year, we make greater, quantifiable strides in marketing.
In addition one recent project I had a ton of fun with was the launch of 3D print. Although there was some internal resistance in the beginning, we did the research and helped our team to see the big picture. We took something that was initially regarded as something of a "niche" service and turned it into something that's shifting not only the culture of our brand and stores, but the expectations of the entire industry.
What advice can you offer women who are looking for a career in marketing?
You need to start with the basics and gain a strong education in marketing. I believe that marketing is as much of a discipline as finance or information technology, and a strong educational foundation is essential. After that, it's just a matter of keeping up with current marketing trends and how they are impacting your industry.
I also strongly advise women looking to succeed in this industry to seek out a mentor and connect with other women in marketing. The best way to learn basic marketing principles is by listening to others. If you don't know something, join an online community, find someone who does, and simply ask. Connecting with others is the easiest way to learn more and hone your skills.
How do you maintain a work/life balance?
For the first 20 years of my career, I admit I had absolutely no balance in my personal and professional lives. After leaving Hyundai, I took almost a year off work and used that time to step back and reflect on my career. I decided that when I returned to the business world, I would have to find that balance between work and my personal life. I made a conscious decision to no longer just "live to work". I met my husband about a year after making that decision and I couldn't be happier! Better managing my workload and having different expectations for myself has made all the difference.
What do you think is the biggest issue for women in the workplace?
One of the greatest challenges that women in the workplace continue to face is that most business leaders are still men, and the fact that men and women communicate differently. As a working woman helping to lead marketing at major corporations, I have personally struggled to find the right balance between being assertive and working well with others. For women, there's always a fine line between being assertive and coming across as "mean". This has been a balancing act in nearly every position I've held. As a matter of fact, I send members of my team to assertiveness training to help them become more confident and able to present a strong argument in the most effective way.
How has mentorship made a difference in your professional and personal life?
Under mentors, you have the ability to learn from their life experiences, both in and out of the workplace. I have my mentors to thank for teaching me how Hermes replica belt paris to work smarter and accomplish more.
Toward the beginning of my career, a senior leader told me "If it is to be, it's up to me." Rather than point fingers or assign blame, a good leader will get involved. Today, if I notice someone is off strategy, I know it's my job to help them turn things around.
Over time, my mentors also taught me that individuals who overload themselves are the ones who struggle the most and go home stressed. Going back to what I was saying about retaining my work/life balance, this has made a huge impact on my personal life and I'm more careful and realistic about what I'll say "yes" to.
Which other female leaders do you admire and why?
I really admire Hillary Clinton just look at her Twitter account and you replica Hermes belts france should see why. She has one of the most brilliant accounts that pairs all she has accomplished with a great deal of humor. "Hair icon, pantsuit aficionado" how can you not admire how this woman describes herself? But seriously, Hillary possesses elements of tenaciousness and perseverance that instantly ignite my admiration. In addition to that, she's accomplished so much as a wife, a mother and in her political career, and she's still pushing for more.
I also admire the Oprah's and Martha's of the world the women who have great lives and have seen so much success, while overcoming significant challenges along the way. To know how these women struggled and continued to persevere through very tough times and then go on to lead happy lives and achieve so much is truly admirable.
What do you want The UPS Store to accomplish in the next year?
Looking forward, one major goal will be expanding our ecommerce capabilities. Online print was our first significant step in ecommerce and we're currently looking for ways to further develop that part of our business.

Vandoorne reads the manual to get up to speed
MANAMA (Reuters) McLaren reserve Stoffel Vandoorne did his homework on the long flight from Japan to arrive in Bahrain fully up to speed for his Formula One grand prix debut on Friday.
The 24 year old Belgian stand in, who won the GP2 support series last year and has been tipped for great things in F1, ended the day 11th fastest in second practice and said it had been a good start.
"I did a lot of reading through all the documents on the plane and I felt very prepared today. I've done a lot of simulator replica birkin handbags work over the last months in the factory as well," added the rookie.
Vandoorne, who was testing for the Super Formula series in Japan, got the call from fake hermes bag McLaren racing director Eric Boullier to fly to Manama after Fernando Alonso failed a medical following his big crash at the Australian season opener.
He had already been put on stand by, but was not expecting to be summoned.
"Usually drivers pass those tests quite easily and when I got the call I was obviously very excited," the Belgian told reporters.
"I think I have to enjoy this opportunity. I know a lot of replica hermes handbags outlet the guys so it makes my life a bit easier to go and work with them. It's definitely never an ideal situation to just jump in the car without any testing but so far this Friday it's been very good."
Vandoorne put in the laps and said he quickly felt comfortable in the car, but the main focus had been on basic "operational stuff" like performing pitstops, practising starts and working with the engineers.
Alonso, the double world champion who fashion cheap hermes handbags has won three times in Bahrain, lives in Dubai but decided to stay at the track to assist the team and advise Vandoorne on how best to approach the weekend.
"He's been around all day, he's been here beside me and next to the engineers as well and giving his comments about what we should try on the car set up," said the Belgian.
