Right Tracks clinical team began researching manufacturers that offered the devices needed toprovide TMS treatment. They ultimately landed onBrainsWay, a global technology company that produces TMS magnets that Dr. Pannel said are more unique and specific to patients.

The treatment sessions with BrainsWay devices are also relatively short, clocking in at 18 minutes versus 40 or more minutes with other devices.

When we were first looking into TMS, I felt that time was very, very important for people, he said. Ifwe could save people time and make it more efficient for them, we definitely wantedto do that.

The ease of receiving TMS, Dr.Pannel said, is one of the treatment options advantages. Thesessions are completely outpatient and do not require anesthesia or having someone come along to drive before or after the appointment.

A common concern of potential patients is the procedure itself. Dr. Pannel acknowledged that the treatmentin which a padded helmet is fitted to the patients headlooks strange for those unfamiliar.

For most people, TMS is a very new and unique process. Its always interesting for people attheir first session, but people adjust to it very quickly, he said.

After deciding that the treatment is appropriate, a Right Track psychiatrist works with the patient to tailor the TMS to them and their needs. This is done during a half-hour brain mapping session, during which the provider uses the TMS machine to examine the patientsbrain like another doctor might use x-rays.

Regular 20-minute TMS appointments, which are overseen by one ofthe clinicspsychiatrists or nurse practitioners, begin the next day and typically last for about three to four months.

Once someone begins receiving TMS, family and friends often notice initial improvements. Then, from session five to 10, patients typically notice improvements in mood, sleep and depressive symptoms.

By the end of treatment, Dr. Pannel said, the frequency, severity and intensity of depressive symptoms decrease overall in most patients.

A majority of people Ive treated go into remission and really improve, he said.The success of TMS has even changed Dr.Pannels outlook as a psychiatrist.

BrainsWay Announces Insurance Coverage by Israeli Ministry of Health for the Treatment of Depression - StreetInsider.com

As a self-described lifelong learner, I consider the constant flow of conversations with clients and colleagues about their operational challenges to be one of the many great parts of my job.

Having done this for more than three decades, Ive dealt with enough challenges to offer an informed view about the right solution or best path forward. Interestingly, thats not the case with a treasury management system (TMS). Not that there hasnt been a need for what TMSs have to offer but my clients have tended to support treasury processes with brute-force effort and spreadsheets.

Whats happening with treasury management? During those three decades, I have almost never had a client ask about how to automate treasury processes. But in the past month, no fewer than than five clients have asked for an overview of the TMS landscape, the major offerings, what they do and how to differentiate them. Thankfully, I work with colleagues who specialize in such things and know the answers to these questions. And given my role, I get to listen and learn. Assuming that there are more companies out there with the same question, allow me to share what Ive learned.

First, as with so many solutions, understanding what you want the system to do, and in what priority, is important before you attempt to understand your options. As a quick primer, the major categories of functionality that TMSs provide are: cash and liquidity management, cash and hedge accounting, trade execution and controls, dealing (which includes foreign exchange (FX), money markets, debt facilities, derivatives and investments), management reporting and risk management.

Importantly, TMSs also typically manage interactions with banks, including statement receipt and recordation, payments, and foreign exchange/investment trades and transactions. These services also include bank relationship management, such as opening and closing accounts, changes in signatories and fee analytics.

There are a limited number of solutions in the market that can be stratified in three broad categoriesentry-level, mid-market and top-tier. For most in the real estate industry, entry-level and mid-market solutions will meet your needs. If youre wondering how to think about the different levels in the strata, heres a good rule of thumb: Top-tier solutions are generally aimed at Fortune 100 companies with complex financial operations, many integrations to manage, a complex enterprise resource planning (ERP) environment and where the benefits justify system and implementation complexity. This description fits relatively few companies in the commercial real estate industry.

Mid-market solutions are geared to companies that have complex financial requirements but dont have complexity in ERP systems. These companies are looking for strong end-to-end automation and reduced manual work. They likely have FX and corresponding heading requirements and need robust data visibility. This is perhaps the most competitive segment of the available TMS market and likely the sweet spot for most mid-size to large real estate companies.

Entry-level solutions are exactly what they sound like and are a viable option for many real estate companies that have only domestic operations and are looking to get treasury out of spreadsheets. These systems are generally SaaS, turn-key, and focused on helping with cash management, payment management and integrations with multiple banks. For many CRE organizations, the step from entry-level to mid-market systems is predicated on requirements to deal with FX and short-term investments.

I hope that primer is useful. If youre struggling with understanding your cash position or liquidity and find that your processes are highly manual, you might find that a TMS is a valuable investment.

The CDO Stack: How to Make the Most of Treasury Management Systems - Commercial Property Executive

They say that big things come in little packages, and thats especially true for Dean Fleischer Camp and Jenny Slates stop-motion character Marcel the Shell with Shoes On. The tender little anthropomorphic shell hit the internet in 2010 with a series of short films and quickly became a YouTube sensation. Now, more than a decade later, Marcel stars in his first feature film, directed by Fleischer Camp with Slate returning to voice the shell. The film is currently in theaters across the country.

But bringing Marcels miniature world to life was no easy feat. We talked to the films cinematographer, Bianca Cline, about the challenges of combining stop-motion with live-action filmmaking. As one of the few trans cinematographers working today, Cline considers it important to tell her story to a new generation of queer and trans filmmakers. She believes her trans identity is not incidental to her creativity, but fuels her practice as an artist. Clines credits include Murder Among the Mormons, Belly of the Beast, and Oreo Proud Parent, a short film for Oreos Pride campaign.

The Mary Sue: How did you get involved with Marcel the Shell with Shoes On? Were you a fan of the shorts or was it new to you?

Bianca Cline: It was totally new, Id never heard of Marcel before, and I got the script through my agent and as soon as I read it I was hooked. Although I will say, there actually wasnt a script when it came there was finished audio, all the dialogue, sound effects, music was all finished and then there were storyboards to go along with it, so I watched it that way. It was kind of like a mini movie, it was a very unique experience for coming to a film but a really lovely one.

TMS: what challenges do you face shooting a stop-motion film? The process itself seems so painstaking.

BC: The film is very, its quite unique, so the process was a blend of live-action mixed with stop-motion. We did it kind of like you would do with a film witha CGI character, where we filmed the movie at a house in Hollywood, where Marcel lives, and we filmed it with a stand-in Marcel. We would put him on a stick or wires and move him through the scene, and we would figure out what the lighting was supposed to be, where focus was going to be, and wed get a reference of what he should look like.

Then wed film it again without him, so we had a clean version, and then the stop-motion was done almost a year later, well it got extended because of Covid, and theres a guy named Eric Adkins (stop-motion director of photography) who was doing the stop motion of Marcel himself, with the same lighting that I created on set, hed match the lenses I used, and then insert Marcel back into the live-action film wed shot. So we were constantly trying to figure out how to make it feel real.

TMS: What drew you to cinematography? Was there a movie or TV series that really made you want to explore this craft?

BC: When I was a kid I used to put on plays, and I was always interested in telling stories that way, and as soon as my family had a camera I commandeered it and made it my own, and I filming whenever I could, and my mom said, you know you could do that as a living?, and it never crossed my mind, even though I grew up in LA. I just always thought, you know, doctor, lawyer, engineer, those are real jobs, and I was instantly like, yep, thats what Im going to do. When I was 16 I saw a movie called Immortal Beloved, and the photography was just gorgeous, and more than that it told the story about music and someone who cant hear, and it was, it was the first time I realized what cinematography can do, that it can make me feel. Like with music, you dont have to say it outright, you can just feel it, and I feel that its my job as cinematographer to make people feel things that they arent necessarily aware of. That movie changed my life.

TMS: Since were coming on the end of Pride Month, do you have a Pride Month must-watch movie?

BC: My favorite movie about queer people in general is either Beginners or a TV show called Veneno (HBO Max). Absolutely amazing, I love that show. Its the best thing Ive seen about being trans.

TMS: As one of the few trans cinematographers working today, what advice do you have for trans and non-binary folks who want to work in the industry and find community in this business?

BC: Its really a puzzle Im trying to figure out. Im very surprised by how few trans people there are in the film industry, at least in camera crew, where I know most of my trans people. It seems like, and I think it is a place that is very open to trans and queer people in general, so its surprising to me that theres not more trans people involved. I think that maybe thats just generational, because people my age didnt grow up in a time where it was more acceptable or that producers were looking for people like us. I think that those things are changing and hopefully will change more. I would say keep pushing. I think theres this strange thing of confidence begets confidence, and its difficult to get confidence without getting started, but I think that if you can fake the confidence for a little bit, it starts to snowball, and you go from there. And then it becomes real. Because you know who you are and you have stories to tell. And queer people in general do have stories to tell!

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On is currently in theaters. You can check out more of Bianca Clines work on her website.
