Boca Raton, Florida (PressExposure) September 25, 2008 -- Breathless Video Productions, LLC is pleased to announce its concentration in the infomercial market.
Led by Sherry Thomas, President and CEO, Breathless Video Productions produces Corporate Video, Training Films, Commercials, Infomercials, WebSite Video, VNRs, Exercise Video, Music Videos, Animation and other various types of video for the production industry such as Corporate Events and high-end Weddings and Mitzvahs.
Sherry observes that, "The infomercial industry remains a leading way to brand a product. Infomercials can strategically provide the foundation for retail roll-out. The diet and health industry is still booming but quick, do-it-yourself products for the everyday home owner can perform well, provided the infomercial is professionally produced and properly tested."
The key is to think like a consumer. What will make a consumer's life less complicated and provide ease of use? Estimates range from 1 in 60 to 1 in 100 for a success rate of 1.5 MER (Merchandise Exchange Ratio) or higher. The right product that tugs at a nerve can often be something quite obscure. It's the brilliance of filling a simple need.
"There is a reason that you see so many infomercials on television. Consumers loves these gadgets and given that most of the infomercial buying power comes from women, they are often looking for something unusual to provide as a gift to a loved one or to themselves," states Thomas.
Thomas explains that the cost to produce an infomercial depends on the length. ShortForm infomercials run two minutes long while LongForm runs twenty eight and a half minutes. Many factors affect the price of an infomercial such as how many hours you need to shoot, how many locations will be shot, and the number of actors or voice-over experts involved.
Infomercial production can be expensive, but Breathless creates these productions for a fraction of the cost of many other companies.
About Breathless Video Productions Breathless Video Productions, LLC based in South Florida is a top one-stop shopping video production company that produces all types of video from commercials to exercise video. Their crews are based around the globe, therefore making it easy to shoot anywhere in the world. Each member of their staff has broadcast media experience. Their equipment is state-of-the-art and non-linear editing is all done on FinalCut Pro, the industry standard.

England go from Back to the future
THE omission last night of Neil Back from England's extended training squad for the RBS Six Nations Championship suggests that the Leicester flanker may be following Martin Johnson, his club colleague, out of international rugby. Back is the most notable casualty in a squad of 28 from which the starting XV to meet Italy in Rome on Sunday will be named today.
Sir Clive Woodward, the England head coach, has included only three specialist back-row forwards: Lawrence Dallaglio and Richard Hill, with whom Back formed in 37 internationals a trio respected around the world, and Joe Worsley. The only cover is provided by Chris Jones, the uncapped Sale Sharks player, better known as a lock than a No 8 but with speed to burn.

The Australian Cereal Rust Control Program: protecting Australia's winter cereals from current and future rust threats by Professor Robert Park, University of Sydney, Plant Breeding Institute Cobbitty
GroundCover™ Issue: 46
THE GRDC recently approved a five-year initiative in the battle against cereal rust diseases which draws together expertise and resources from the Uuiversity of Sydney Plant Breeding Institute at Cobbitty (PBIC), the CSIRO Division of Plant Industry in Canberra, and the International Centre for Wheat and Maize Improvement (CIMMYT) in Mexico. Known as the Australian Cereal Rust Control Program (ACRCP), the new project builds on a former long-term, industry-funded national program which achieved considerable success in assisting Australian cereal breeders to incorporate genetic resistance to rust diseases into cereal varieties. The ACRCP is also closely involved in GRDC-funded cereal rust research at the University of Adelaide and at the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI). An important feature of the program is the close integration of research activities with cereal breeding, which ensures that research outcomes find their way to farmers' paddocks.
Given the right climatic conditions and susceptible varieties, rusts can cause untold losses. Some growers may remember the losses incurred in the 1973-74 season, when wheat stem rust caused $100-$300 million in losses in south-eastern Australia. Northern NSW and Qld were spared from the ravages of this epidemic by the cultivation of genetically-resistant varieties. Because they can spread so readily, these "social diseases" require a nationally coordinated control effort.

Calista Flockhart - Ally McBeal also uses Plastic Surgery
February 21st, 2016
Hollywood celebrities are definitely setting trends for other celebrities and normal people around the world, and now, more and more rumors circulating around forums and blogs about Jennifer Anne Garner's plastic surgery have taken place. Celebrities and their great looks and appearance are often, not as natural as you might think. Almost all of them have used plastic surgery in one or another way to improve their looks or keep their youthful appearance.
According to latest news and reports, beautiful actress and producer, Jennifer Ann Garner, born on 17 April 1972 has gone under plastic surgery procedures to improve her looks.
Jennifer Garner, who has won many awards now becomes one of the celebrities on the plastic surgery list. Rumors have started after some of her fans have noticed changes in her looks on several appearances and events. Changes make them think that she had nose job or rhinoplasty, lip augmentation (probably using Botox) and dental surgery. Even though she never talks about doing any plastic surgery procedures, people are not certain weather she did plastic surgery operations or not. Now, after we compare before and after images it's up to you to decide if she went for it or not.
Comparing Jennifer Garner's before and after pictures it is obvious that her looks have changed. Some plastic surgery professionals say that she went for dentistry surgery, rhinoplasty (nose job) and lips augmentation. Garner, now 42 years old, now has a more refined tip of her nose. She also now has a wider bridge than before. Her lips are now large and on older images it is visible that her lips are thinner and not so full. Such result are almost always result of using Botox injections and fillers and it is almost impossible for a 42 year old woman to achieve such lips in natural way. After this comparison, our opinion is – Yes she definitely used plastic surgery! Now, a lot of her fans compare her lips with Angelina Jolie's beautiful lips. Now she has a flattering and beautiful smile.
One there is one more thing that leads to rumors among her fans and that is her glowing white teeth. Looking at her latest photographs, plastic surgery experts think she had dental surgery done as well.
In the end, if we take a look at her facial skin. Her face seems almost perfect. There are no wrinkles or any other signs of aging so our opinion is that she might have used Botox or other fillers to make her face look so smooth. In this way she keeps her youthful appearance and she looks almost 10 years younger.
If You ask as if her plastic surgery is a success – we say Yes it Is. It has been done in to improve her looks and it makes her look more beautiful and younger. Without deeper analysis it would be impossible to notice changes from plastic surgery so it has been done in the right way and without exaggeration.
What is Your opinion on Jennifer Garner plastic surgery? Do you think she did it? Was it successful?

hi, I'm just wondering if it's possible to show a vimeo video via the lightbox function. I have a few thumbnails on my home page that link to particular galleries containing videos but it would be much easier if I could do it this way.
Many thanks
yes – have a look at this page (scroll down to the usage demos/examples): http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyphoto-jquery-lightbox-clone/
Hi that's awesome, I'm not sure where to put the code though. Is it somewhere on the post itself? or via the homepage template?
I've tried adding '' to the Add Featured Media (manual link) part of the post. This works fine but when I x the lightbox off I'm left with an error 404 page that's opening as a separate window. – see http://www.philipwhiteweddings.co.uk (laura +chris link) Really hope you can help.
Please deactivate the prettyphoto plugin. It's unnecessary because velvet uses this lightbox by default. I think the plugin causes a conflict :)
Will do this now – how do i get the vimeo film in a light box though from the thumb???
I think you already set one :) –
1) add a preview image (by using the featured media options/uploader)
2) choose the "link manually" option. Then enter a youtube or vimeo url in the link field. The video will play in the lightbox afterwards
The lightbox opens for a second then it disappears and it goes directly to the vimeo site :(
Please try to deactivate all plugins – maybe one causes a conflict with the lightbox script (shadowbox, etc.).
The topic 'Vimeo Lightbox?' is closed to new replies.

India blackout is world's worst power outage
The world's worst power outage knocked out the lights across India from its borders with Pakistan to those with China and Burma yesterday.
A cascading series of failures left 19 of the country's 28 states, home to 600 million people, without access to government-supplied electricity from Rajasthan to Manipur.
Hundreds of miners in two state-run coalfields were trapped as lifts stopped working, trains came to a halt and traffic jammed stranding millions. Some of India's biggest cities, including Delhi, Calcutta and Lucknow, spent most of the day without power.
Experts blamed a "total breakdown in discipline" where state governments in the north of the country raided a regional grid rather than ration power. Its subsequent failure, the second in two days, triggered a domino effect…

Native American Indians are known worldwide for their beautiful turquoise jewelry.
Each Native American Indian Tribe has their own unique style of jewelry making. Although over the years various artists from the Navajo, Zuni, Hopi and Santo Domingo have made jewelry that is not considered a style from their tribe.
The Zuni Indian Jewelry techniques include mosaic, channel inlay, cluster, needlepoint and petit point using a variety of stones and shells.
The Navajo Indian Jewelry Artists are famous for their Squash Blossom Necklaces. Navajo Jewelry Artists use larger pieces of turquoise, coral and other stones surrounded by distinctive scrolls, beads and leaf patterns made of sterling silver. Navajo's are the largest producers of Native American jewelry.
The Hopi Indian Silversmiths use the overlay technique with infrequent use of stones in their jewelry. Making jewelry with the overlay technique involves sawing the design out of one sheet of silver and then overlaying it on a second sheet to which it is then sweated or soldered. The background is oxidized to darken it with the top layer of the jewelry polished.
The Santo Domingo Indians have been making bead jewelry since ancient times. They use Seashells, Turquoise, Jet and Coral in their jewelry. Our featured Santo Domingo Artists are members of the Palace of the Governors program located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They are held to strict standards in making their jewelry such as Heishi beads must be cut, drilled and ground by hand. This is a painstaking process: a single necklace may require the fashioning of hundreds of tiny beads.
All of the Native American Indian Tribes use Sterling Silver in their jewelry. Sterling Silver is 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. Silver is very soft so copper is added which makes it malleable.
The American Southwest is home to the various Native American Indian Tribes that make our beautiful jewelry.
The Navajo Indian Nation is located in the northern portion of Arizona and New Mexico. It is the largest reservation. The Hopi Indian Reservation is located in Arizona. The Santo Domingo Pueblo is located in New Mexico. The Zuni pueblo is located in New Mexico.
Native American Jewelry making skills are taught from one generation to the next. There are also a variety of schools to learn Native American Jewelry making skills. However, families take pride in continuing the traditions of artist excellence and a sense of pride in themselves and their culture.
Hallmarks In the beginning it was enough to know which tribe made the Native American Jewelry. Later Native American Jewelry Artists started marking their jewelry with their initials. The stamps used to mark the jewelry are handed down from one generation to the next so the initials may be their parents or grandparents.

Based on a concept inspired by nature, the blacksmiths at Belltrees Forge create innovative ironwork quite different from the norm.
Their exquisite ranges of lighting, accessories and furniture are hand crafted in our traditional forge, using well proven skills handed down through many generations.
No two pieces are identical and it is this, combined with the artistic quality of Jonathan Eadie's designs, which give special uniqueness to the products from Belltrees Forge.
The age-old blacksmithing techniques that are used in every piece, involve heating the metal in the fire then hammering and twisting the white-hot steel to form the most eye-catching, contemporary designs. Finally, each piece is highly polished to accentuate
the natural textures of the steel and then coated in a light protective lacquer.
• Awarded 'Business of The Year'
• Highly Commended – Gift of The Year
• Scottish Gift of the Year- Flames Wine Rack
Their contemporary forms are by Jonathan Eadie who has combined his natural talent for design with blacksmithing. Having trained in the traditional skills of blacksmithing, Jonathan was passionate to begin producing his designs and developing his own concepts.

Review for Southwest Car Care Center
Kenneth B. on 05/23/2015
Kenneth said the vehicle is running pretty well now since the visit. They worked on his brakes but the price seemed a little high. They went down on some of other prices for the service.

text: I must have read 5 threads today of people falling over themselves unrooting waiting for 2.1. All these threads are people in a total panic as they still use the 1 button wonders (DM Updater and ROM Manger) to try and accomplish this task. Boot loops and stuck screens and who know what plagues are upon us. If you phone is rooted and running well, you are already ahead of the game! You are running 2.1 on steroids! If you decide you want the "real" 2.1, I am willing to bet you will have it available for download (probably as I type). Calm down, take a deep breath, and think before you do or undo anything.

Welcome to Worship!
Welcome to the Lutheran
Church of our Saviour!
We will be celebrating
Holy Communion this morning. You need not be Lutheran nor a member of this congregation. All are invited to join us at God's Table. Gluten-free bread and grape-juice are also available.
Our Psalm for today is Psalm 149 found on the screen or on page 338 and following in your hymnal. We will be singing the Psalm responsively by whole verse.
"To be a Saint, all it takes really, is to belong to God. It's not a matter of being or doing good or wearing a camel-hair shirt and eating locusts in the desert, or even performing 3 documented miracles. It's simply a matter of belonging to God through our Baptism."
From today's sermon: "Tarnished Halos"
and give thanks for the lives and love of
MervynPegelo, Grace Brydonand
Maurice Publuske, all of whom touched our lives and who now find their rest in God.
"O Lord, your grace is everything; your love has made us free to stand among the saints and sing the glory that we see,
the glory that we see."
(ELW #441, vs. 4)
During our liturgy this morning, you'll be invited to come forward with your candle, to light it in memory of the saints in your life, and to place it on or in front of the altar.
We are looking for a snow plow operator to keep the church parking lot clear throughout the winter months. Please speak to either Joyce Grahlman or
Richard Prowd if you might
be interested.
Many thanks to all who joined us last Sunday evening for a Potluck Harvest Dish Dinner and to kick-off the fund-raising for the resurfacing of the parking lot. $1923.00 was raised, plus we have applied for a $500.00 matching grant from FaithLife Financial.
Many thanks to the Witness Ctte for arranging and hosting such a lovely evening!

Thanks to the generosity of LCOS and St. George's & St. Thomas', Anglican Churches, approximately 387 sweaters were collected and boxed and are now en route to the CLWR Office in Winnipeg.
A very special thank you to Gloria Pfeffer and all those who helped to fold, box and deliver the sweaters to Home Hardware for their shipment to Winnipeg!

"Thoughtful and engaging"
This story grew on me the more I listened. You have to some patience, however, since most for most of the story you are listening to the two main characters talking to themselves - thinking out loud. Both characters are amazingly smart and insightful - the young girl preternatually so. A touching but improbable ending is a bit of a disappointment. Fun if you enjoy learning more about class struggles in France.
"Touching book"
This book was chosen as our November read in my book club. After 3 tries, I gave up reading it, just could not get into it. After some grief by the other members, I decided to just purchase it and try with the audio version. Very happy I did. From the first minute of listening to Barbara Rosenblat I was hooked. When it switch over to Casandra Morris, the book really came to life. I think the book lost a little of its interpretation in the translation from French to English, and then again to the audio, but was still a very good read. I try not to analize books to death and just appreciate the story for what it is. I found it very sweet and touching, the 3 main characters very endearing and left me with a hope that they would continue their friendship. Well worth it, enjoyed it very much.
"Rewards Patience"
This is an unusual read, but one that pays off if you stick to it. Nice philosophical insights on life's inequities.
"Must be a Philosophy Major"
The summary of this book had potential. The audible reviews I read were good but boy was I mislead. I didn't like this book. I'm just not intellectual enough. I don't like philosophy and 45% of this book is philosophy. 15" rambling on the meaning of a kitchen table. Pretentious people. Trick ending. Good narration but would have been better if they had French accents as it takes place in Paris. Not for my average mind.
"Boring and pretentious"
I persisted with this book for about a third of its length as I thought it MUST surely improve and engage me, but it didn't. The reviewer who said that it's like being trapped in a corner with a first-year philosophy student hit the nail on the head. I just wanted to escape!
"Beware of the Hedgehog"
I should probably blame myself and my high expectations, but this was a big disappointment:
I found no literary value in the book - the characters are stereotypes. Both protagonists didn't draw empathy of any kind, and weren't interesting enough to either captivate or challenge.
The ideas are superficial - mass pseudo- philosophy for teenagers, and they are brought into the story line in the most simplistic manner.
A book that aspires to bring to life protagonists of exceptional intelligence should be deeper and more convincing.
I really did try to listen. Someone is trying too hard to impress. Like being trapped in a corner at a party by a first-year philosophy student.
I had to keep rewinding this one because it would spark so many tangential trains of thought. Now, I almost sat the book down for that reason because initially I thought I was bored with it. Lofty language and haughty description almost turned me completely off, and then... when I decided not to give up; to stop fighting the urge to drift, I realized I wasn't rewinding because I'd turned out, but so I didn't miss anything. And that is the power of extraordinary literature. I will definitely listen again. It's not an "easy read", but it will elevate your thinking and evolve with you (I'm sure I'll gleam something more or different next time) if you let it. Love this book!
Beautifully written
I would not even try to compare this book with another. It stands alone as a most delightful escape. The use of language, the story, the laughter and the tears. Amazing, wonderful. Thank you for this book!
The use of the comma. Incredible.
At the beginning you can be lost in the duplicity of this presentation. If you are willing to persevere you will be rewarded with a plethora of emotions; nothing banal here.

Robert Altman Terrified of Bad Reviews
Movie veteran Robert Altman is always terrified his new films will be received poorly, even though he has been working the industry for half a century and has an honorary Oscar.
The Short Cuts director is nervous about new offering A Prairie Home Companion–which stars Meryl Streep, Lindsay Lohan and Kevin Kline–hitting cinemas because negative reactions have always hurt him deeply.
The 81-year-old says, "I'm scared s**tless. I get very sensitive about reviews and what people have said.
"As long as I've been doing this, I still take it personally. I don't know why. I guess that's just my nature."

Albany, NY (PressExposure) April 23, 2009 -- The position of nurse is a very challenging task and often, nursing students and nurses need a competitive edge over the others in the field. It is for this very reason that the website given above is invaluable. Those looking for nursing jobs [http://nursing-info.info], nursing schools or nursing software will thus find this website to be extremely useful.
To those seeking nursing jobs [http://nursing-info.info], an excellent article called âFast-Track Careers - Nursing Jobsâ by Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios will prove very useful. Here, he talks about the situation in the United States of America where there is an acute shortage of nurses. He says that the situation will only exacerbate over time. Thus, nursing is a ripe field that is growing tremendously and there is an ever-rising demand for nurses in hospitals, schools, clinics, public health agencies, and many other establishments throughout the world. Nurses earn a considerable salary and specialization pays rich dividends in this field. For example, a Nurse Anaesthetist earns an average of a whopping $113,000.
The Nursing PDA [http://nursing-info.info] (Personal Data Assistant) is a complete mobile solution for nursing students and professionals offering easy access to the clinical information they need right in the palms of their hands. The Nursing PDA reduces time on tasks, increases efficiency, and prevents transcription errors. The website has an article titled âMobile Healthcare with Nursing PDAâ which shows how useful the Nursing PDA is in data compilation, storage, and administration. Nursing software [http://nursing-info.info] is thus becoming ubiquitous in this world and more and more professionals are actively using them to simplify their work.
Nursing schools [http://nursing-info.info] provide one with the training and certification required to play a vital role in healthcare. Graduates from nursing schools find themselves in increasing demand for more important managing roles in hospitals, clinics and research. The number of nursing schools [http://nursing-info.info] has also grown exponentially and thus, one can aspire to join a good school. Online institutions are also available, where students can study directly from home. Lots of information regarding all of this is available from the article on the website.
Travel nursing [http://nursing-info.info] is a burgeoning field within nursing. Nurses who hope to become travelling nurses must possess the ability to adjust to different environments. They have the freedom to pick and choose where and when they want to work and in that respect, they are essentially freelancers. High quality housing is provided and the pay is also considerably greater than what an average nurse in a hospital can hope to make. However, more experience, a minimum of a year, is a prerequisite for this field. Specializations are also preferred and given more importance. The website has an article called âAround the World with Travel Nursing [http://nursing-info.info]â, which provides useful information regarding this.
In conclusion, nursing is an exciting field and has a lot of future prospects. Nurses and nursing students require some guidance to make the right choices and [http://nursing-info.info] simplifies the decision making process a lot.

Well, this was pretty good. I guess I just didn't like how there wasn't that much to it. You just shot your targets. That being said, it still managed to do a good job for what it was supposed to do. I'm not sure what the title means. Maybe Logun is the name of the character I'm playing?
I admit that the "Deadeye" is a really cool title. The graphics are pretty decent. I assume any game gets harder no matter what difficulty you put it at. The sounds were pretty good and authentic. I just liked the easy understanding of the gameplay.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
this is the same as your last one
the only difference is the intro screens. none the less, it was a fun little game, slightly addictive, and thats probably what you were going for
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Not too bad.
I thought it was a pretty fun game to pass the time, I believe i've played it somewhere else though, have you put it up on another site?
Rated 2 / 5 stars
Try Harder
This wasnt that fun. Try adding powerups for guns or more levels so when you beat one level you can go to a store and buy better weapons and ammo. And instead of targets use deer or somthing like that. Its kind of challenginng trying to get the birds and the booneh rabbits.
Rated 2 / 5 stars
not good
this wasnt very fun at all...maybe have powerups, obstacles or character profiles.

why this and super not used inside static block
why this and super not used inside static block
'this' and 'super' keywords are related with objects state not with class , while static refers to class not to any particular object .that's why those both keywords can not be used in static method. Even normal instance variable can not be used without creating object inside static method.
Because this and super are only used on a object reference and static is class instance not an object's.

The ABPI fully supports the objectives of NICE.
It has the potential to play a key role in improving the quality
of care in the NHS but NICE cannot achieve its objectives on its
The pharmaceutical industry has been in regular
dialogue with NICE to resolve many issues and progress has been
made. However, the process leading to selection of technologies
for appraisal and implementation of guidance post NICE review
are issues that cannot be addressed without action from the Department
of Health and NHS.
Analysis of prescribing data shows there are
still wide variations in uptake of medicines that have been appraised
by NICE: postcode prescribing still persists. Overall increases
in uptake have rarely resulted from NICE guidance.
NICE's own estimates of increased uptake in
its guidance predicted a total annual addition of £93 million.
This figure compares with an actual increased uptake of, at most,
£32 million, i.e. only a third. There is also evidence that
predicted savings accruing from NICE decisions have not been realised.
In addition, NICE is leading to reduced access
to modern effective treatments through a phenomenon known as "NICE
A major consideration is the NHS's capacity
to comply with NICE guidance and limitations of NHS ability to
redesign and adapt services to meet many priorities.
The Government's recent announcement requiring
HAs and PCOs to fund NICE recommendations is implicit confirmation
that they not currently being implemented satisfactorily. While
we very much welcome this move as a step in the right direction,
additional sufficient funding needs to be made available to enable
such compliance if "Peter is not going to be robbed to pay
Paul", diverting funding from other important areas of clinical
ABPI believes that NICE is being asked to focus
too much on technology appraisals and with little impact as a
result. We believe that the development of sound, evidence-based
clinical guidelines, which address the full range of care for
particular conditions, will improve the quality of NHS care far
more than a narrow assessment of the cost-effectiveness of individual
interventions and will have far greater influence.
Recommendations made by NICE in some circumstances
are being made too early on the basis of immature evidence. NICE
is currently relying heavily on a methodology that is based on
a one-size-fits-all measure of cost effectiveness. In practice
this has a profound impact on patients, who can be denied treatment
on the basis of theoretical assumptions.
Perceptions prevail among many stakeholders
that NICE is not independent of Ministerial intervention and is
not yet perceived as a genuine force for improving the quality
of NHS care rather than as a tool to control costs.
ABPI believes that NICE, as an important area
of health policy, should evolve with the help of an ongoing, systematic
and independent review.
1.1 The Association of the British Pharmaceutical
Industry (ABPI) represents the majority of the companies in Britain
engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and supply
of prescription medicines. The ABPI brings together companies
producing such medicines, whether branded or generic, many smaller
organisations involved in pharmaceutical and bio-pharmaceutical
R&D, and those with an interest in the pharmaceutical industry
operating in the UK. ABPI member companies manufacture and supply
more than 80 per cent of the medicines prescribed through the
NHS and are major exporters to countries all over the world.
1.2 The pharmaceutical industry in the UK
is a world leader in medicines research, and patients in the UK
have the potential to benefit from this research by the early
introduction of new medicines developed in their own country.
2.1 Annex 1 responds to the specific questions
posed by the Select Committee. The ABPI fully supports the objectives
of NICE to encourage faster uptake of effective new treatments,
to promote more equitable access to treatments, to improve the
use of NHS resources and to promote the longer-term interests
of the NHS in the development of innovative treatments for the
future. NICE has the potential to have a key role to play in improving
the quality of care in the NHS. The ABPI has sought constructive
dialogue with both NICE and the Department of Health (DH) to support
NICE in achieving its objectives.
2.2 NICE has an important and difficult
job to do. The postcode lottery of care still exists, and patients
in the UK have some of the poorest access to modern effective
treatments in Western Europe. The Wanless Report made some unflattering
international comparisons, concluding that the UK lags behind
other countries in the adoption and diffusion of new technologies,
and confirming that the uptake of new drugs is at best half of
that in Germany and a third of France. Another study, jointly
undertaken by the ABPI and DH, published in December 2001, shows
that in comparison with 12 countries in Europe, North America
and Asia, new medicines in the UK achieve only about a quarter
of the average level of international use one and three years
after launch. These facts highlight the need for NICE to encourage
the uptake of medicines in the UK.
2.3 NICE needs to be seen in context, as
part of a complex web of interweaving factors. NICE cannot achieve
its objectives on its own.
2.4 Many of the observations below, therefore,
identify weaknesses in the overall system, of which NICE is but
a part, rather than specific criticisms of NICE. The process leading
up to selection for technology appraisal and the post NICE review
implementation of guidance both have weaknesses that are beyond
the remit of NICE yet both have a critical influence on the value
and effectiveness of NICE itself. The pharmaceutical industry
has been in regular dialogue with NICE to resolve issues within
its own remit and progress has been made on many fronts but some
remaining issues cannot be rectified without action from the DH
and NHS.
2.5 ABPI believes that NICE is being asked
to focus too much on technology appraisals and with little impact
as a result. We believe that the development of sound, evidence-based
clinical guidelines, which address the full range of care for
particular patients in areas of high morbidity and mortality,
will improve the quality of NHS care far more than a narrow assessment
of the cost-effectiveness of individual interventions and will
have far greater influence. This concords with Professor Kennedy's
recommendation in his Bristol Inquiry report that NICE manages
a comprehensive programme of standard setting through the development
of clinical guidelines.
3.1 The very existence of NICE is leading
to reduced access to modern effective treatments through a phenomenon
known as "NICE blight". There are two kinds of blight.
The first is when Health Authorities (HAs) and Primary Care Organisations
(PCOs) hold back decisions on funding of a product on the NICE
work programme pending a decision by NICE, which is often issued
months or even years after grant of a licence. The second is when
HAs/PCOs hold back funding for new treatments that are not short-listed
for consideration by NICE on the assumption that they will at
some stage be the subject of an appraisal. This clearly runs against
the objective of NICE to bring patients faster access to modern
3.2 NICE blight is having a profound effect
on patients. Two examples illustrate a much bigger problem. The
first of these relates to a treatment, Visudyne, for age-related
macular degeneration, an aggressive disease that is the most common
cause of blindness in the elderly. Poor vision not only leads
to loss of quality of life and independence, it is also a major
cause of falls in the elderly, and blindness consumes considerable
health and social care resources. Some 4000 patients per year
could benefit from treatment; yet despite the facts that Visudyne
has been available in the UK for 16 months, that 100 hospitals
have the ability to offer Visudyne treatment, and that the DH
has issued guidance that NHS patients should be offered Visudyne
before NICE guidance is published, only 500 patients have received
treatment. Novartis, the licence holder for Visudyne, estimates
that 9000 patients in the UK will have been denied the opportunity
to have their vision saved by the time NICE's guidance is published.
3.3 Another important example of blight
is in the area of breast cancer. Herceptin has been licensed and
available to UK patients since September 2000. It represents a
major advance for the treatment of a particularly aggressive form
of breast cancer. In combination with chemotherapy, it can induce
disease remission and extend survival, and does so in a way that
enhances the quality of the life remaining to patients. NICE guidance
is still awaited. Since its launch, Herceptin has only been used
in a very small number of hospitals in the UK (with significant
postcode prescribing as a result). Even some of the largest cancer
centres do not make it routinely available to patients. A reason
given by Health Authorities and Primary Care Organisations for
non-funding of Herceptin is that they are waiting for NICE guidance.
3.4 These examples illustrate that the very
existence of a NICE technology appraisal process is having an
effect opposite to the very purpose of NICE. ABPI would like to
recommend that a robust mechanism be put in place to ensure that
patients are not denied access either because a treatment has
not been subjected to NICE appraisal or because an appraisal has
not yet been published.
4.1 Even once NICE guidance is issued, implementation
is poor. Further detail on this is provided in response to the
Select Committee's questions in Appendix 1 (Question 3) and in
the examples shown in Appendix 2. ABPI would be happy to share
additional data with the Committee.
4.2 A major consideration is the NHS's capacity
to comply with NICE guidance. Clinicians and managers are being
deluged with directions and guidance on a daily basis, and have
many competing priorities, such as implementation of National
Service Frameworks, organisational change, and managing day-to-day
patient care. We would recommend that the Health Select Committee
consider the practical issues around implementation and the limitations
NHS organisations face in their ability to redesign and adapt
services to meet many priorities. This is especially true in the
field of cancer, where lack of staff is often given as a reason
for denying patients modern treatments.
4.3 If NICE is to recommend individual technologies,
adequate money needs to be provided to cover the funding of all
aspects of compliance with NICE guidance. The Secretary of State
is seeking to address non-compliance by the issue of Directions
set out in Statutory Instrument 2001/74. This is a step in the
right direction, but unless there is adequate funding an inevitable
outcome of the new directions will be that "Peter is going
to be robbed to pay Paul", diverting resources from other
important areas of clinical need. Whilst postcode prescribing
may reduce in areas covered by NICE, it is likely to increase
in areas not subject to NICE guidance.
5.1 While a change of focus should be the
priority issue as described in 2.5 above, NICE has been instructed
by the DH to concentrate the majority of its resources on new
medicines. ABPI has had discussions with the DH and NICE on the
process for the selection of topics for NICE appraisal, the decision
on when is the best time to conduct an appraisal, and NICE's appeals
process. We await the outcome of those discussions. We have also
made good progress through regular meetings with NICE to highlight
areas where process improvements can be made.
5.2 ABPI believes that NICE should only
appraise a new medicine where there is an adequate evidence base
to do so. At launch, the evidence base for a new medicine is founded
on a highly scientific clinical trials process, the results of
which are used as the basis for the granting of a product licence
by the licensing authorities, which make a rigorous assessment
of quality, safety and clinical efficacy. At this stage in a medicine's
life, there is a detailed understanding of its use only in a scientifically
restricted patient population.
5.3 NICE is examining clinical effectiveness.
Clinical efficacy and clinical effectiveness are different; the
latter is a broader assessment of whether a medicine helps people
and is usually demonstrated by examining evidence on the medicine
in routine clinical useuse that is prohibited until a product
licence is granted. In many cases, therefore, the true effectiveness
of a medicine cannot be assessed at the time of launch when there
has been little or no use in a "natural" clinical setting.
To fill this gap, NICE generally uses economic modelling to estimate
effectiveness on the basis of efficacy data. This is not an invalid
approach; however, it is important to remember that the quality
of a model is only as good as the assumptions upon which it is
based, which by definition are more uncertain the less that is
known about the product's use. This is particularly true where
innovative medicines lead to significant changes in the design
and delivery of care.
5.4 NICE rightly believes that it can only
have the confidence of its stakeholders if it delivers authoritative
guidance, which is based upon robust evidence. But frequently
NICE is being asked to appraise treatments before it is possible
to have an adequate effectiveness evidence base, with some decisions
therefore based on health economic models for which assumptions
are highly uncertain.
5.5 NICE and the DH are in a difficult situation:
ABPI understands that the NHS needs information on new products
at the time of launch, but we are concerned that recommendations
made by NICE in some circumstances are being made too early on
the basis of immature evidence. We would recommend that for those
treatments where an appraisal at launch is inappropriate, an information
bulletin be issued by a respected body skilled in doing this work.
Our recommendation would be that a format is adopted, based on
the current output of the National Prescribing Centre, and that
the medicine is made fully available to the NHS while better evidence
is gathered.
5.6 Issuing definitive guidance on a medicine
too early can have damaging consequences - it can deny opportunities
for discovery of valuable therapeutic potential in the form of
new uses. Indeed, as Gelijns et al commented in the New England
Journal of Medicine in 1998 (NEJM, 1998, Vol 339, No 10, pp693-698),
"Unanticipated uses of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions
are often identified many years after their introduction. Indeed,
widespread use is often an essential precondition for the identification
of new applications, and clinical practice itself is thus a particularly
important source of medical innovation." Examples of
important breakthroughs attributed to medicines initially used
for other indications are many, and include ACE Inhibitors and
beta blockers in the treatment of heart failure and acute myocardial
infarction, and antibiotics for the treatment of peptic ulcer
5.7 ABPI, DH and NICE have agreed that a
"one size fits all" approach to the timing of an appraisal
is not appropriate. We have recommended that a dialogue between
the manufacturer and a reformed Technologies Advisory Group take
place on when is the best time to appraise on a case-by-case basis.
ABPI and the DH have worked together to develop a checklist of
factors that could form the basis of this discussion. Our proposals
for a process to undertake this dialogue, and the checklist, are
given in Annex 3. We look forward to hearing how the DH
and NICE intend to incorporate these proposals into their processes.
6.1 Determining cost effectiveness is a
challenging task. We would like to suggest that the Committee
consider whether the methods used to determine cost effectiveness,
and which drive recommendations as to whether a treatment should
be funded by the NHS, are appropriate. By assessing medicines
at launch, and basing many of its decisions upon models that are
based on theoretical assumptions for newly developed medicines
that have not yet found their place in clinical practice, NICE
is likely to reach false conclusions. NICE is currently relying
heavily on a methodology that is based on a one-size-fits-all
measure of cost effectiveness, an Incremental Cost Effectiveness
Ratio (ICER) based upon a cost per Quality of Life Year gained
(QALY), which attempts to apply the same parameters to a wide
range of health interventions and subjective outcomes such as
quality of life. While such a measure has a role, it is but one
of a number of parameters. Over-reliance on this single measure
may have a profound impact on patients, who can be denied treatment
on the basis of theoretical assumptions.
6.2 QALY values can change over time, as
more is learned about the optimum use of a medicine. The best
example of this is erythropoietin (EPO), a treatment for patients
with kidney failure, which improves red blood cell count, reduces
anaemia, reduces the need for blood transfusions and improves
patients' well being. At the time of EPO's launch in 1990, the
estimated cost per QALY was £103,000, a value which does
not represent cost effectiveness under NICE's methodology. Over
time, management of kidney failure using EPO has changed, as more
has been learned about the drug and benefits, including improved
quality of life for patients, have been found. Current estimates
of cost per QALY for EPO show a dramatic reduction from the initial
value to £3,000-9,000. If usage of EPO had been rejected
or highly restricted at its launch both patients and NHS would
have been the losers.
7.1 The DH has acknowledged that the current
procedures to select topics for NICE appraisal are unsatisfactory
and not transparent. In a presentation at the annual NICE conference
in December 2001, a DH speaker indicated that current selection
criteria are vague and open to broad interpretation, and the selection
process, including the reasons topics are chosen, needs to be
made clearer to stakeholders. ABPI concurs with these views and
believes that the skills base of the body that makes recommendations
to Ministers on topic selection (the Technologies Advisory Group
(TAG)) needs to be more appropriate for this complex task. It
is even unclear who sits on TAG. We believe that a broad range
of stakeholders should be represented, including industry. We
have discussed these points with the DH (see Annex 3) and
look forward to hearing their views.
8.1 ABPI believes that NICE, as an important
area of policy, should evolve with the help of an ongoing, systematic
and independent review.
8.2The review should be open and inclusive of
all stakeholders, with appropriate consultation. It should examine
whether NICE is achieving its objectives, the impact it is having
on its stakeholders, and should make tangible recommendations
for improvement in consultation with those affected. This should
not detract from ongoing improvement in the working of NICE's
processes. Such a review should also examine implementation of
NICE guidance by HAs/PCOs once the new arrangements under SI 2001/74
have bedded down.
8.3 We would recommend that the review suggest
appropriate performance indicators, so that the progress of NICE
against its objectives can be continuously monitored, and that
the review should answer the following questions:

Every bride should shine on her wedding day. You can do so, quite literally, by adding a sparkling tiara, Barrette, or other hair accessory to your ensemble. Let the style of your dress guide your choice. A dazzling crystal tiara can be the perfect complement to a traditional gown, for example, whereas a more subtle hairpin or comb may be just the thing for a modern sheath.
Give some thought as well to how you will style your hair at your wedding and the veil you have chosen, if any, before making your decision. Knowing whether you want a piece that will become an heirloom or one that will just survive the day can help you determine what to look for and how much to spend.
Above, the crystal tiara by Lori London recalls the fanciful crowns of fairy tales. A touch of fantasy is also reflected in the crystals and freshwater pearls of this headpiece by Jennifer Leigh.

Sometimes Facebook has a game where it shows you your most often used words as a digital image depending on size. If such a game existed for my conversation with clients, the word or phrase that would be the largest up front and center would be IT DEPENDS.
How much financial support can I expect? It depends. How long will it last? It depends. How long will my divorce take? It depends. How much will my divorce cost? It depends.
As a lawyer I have learned to not make guarantees. There are way too many variables. I have to gather all the facts. Some of my engineer clients want things to be more definitive. They want probabilities or percentages. They want rules. There must be rules. My creative types also don't like uncertainty. They expect that they hired me -- the expert. And here I am with all these depends and maybes and wherefores.
The standard for spousal maintenance (sometimes still called alimony) in Washington State is "need and ability to pay." See: I told you the answer is "It depends." As far as costs and length of time, there are just too many variables to account for. The minimum waiting period for a divorce in Washington State is 90 days but there are many many reasons it can take longer. The same with costs. Here I really try to be more definitive. I do work with a flat fee but, you guessed it, even that depends.
As your lawyer, I will explain the options, the probabilities and the law. Just don't ask me for a final answer -- it depends.

Moscow: At least 62 people — 55 passengers, seven crew members — were killed on Saturday when a passenger jet crashed in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, media reports said.
Flydubai flight FZ981 was en route from Dubai and crashed while trying to land, RT News reported.
Initial reports put the toll at 61 people with six crew members.
"During the landing approach a Boeing-737 crashed. It had 55 passengers on board. All of them died," a regional official told TASS news agency.
Air-traffic control and local emergency services confirmed that the jet was caused due to poor visibility.
"According to preliminary data, the jet crashed in poor visibility conditions, some 50-100 metres left of the runway," a source said.
Russia's Investigative Committee has launched a probe into the incident with preliminary data indicating that the plane disintegrated and caught fire upon touching the ground.
Reports indicated that the debris were spread across several kilometres.
Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported that all passengers on board were Russians, while the flight crew consisted of foreigners.
The airport has closed until further notice due to which at least six flights were delayed, two of which were supposed to leave for St. Petersburg, while the others were due to arrive in Moscow. The inbound flights are getting rerouted to Krasnodar.
Flydubai confirmed the crash saying, "We are investigating further details and will publish an update once more information is available," the airline added.
55 killed in plane crash in Russia
Moscow, March 19 (IANS) All 55 passengers on board a plane, flying from Dubai to Rostov-on-Don city in Russia, were killed after the aircraft crashed at the city airport, officials said on Saturday.
The plane, a Boeing 737, missed the runway due to poor visibility, which led to the crash, Xinhua news agency reported quoting officials.

IMF head Dominique Strauss-Khan is flying to Spain "to discuss global economic developments with the Prime Minister, and to consult with him on developments in Spain, including the government's economic policies and reforms" according to Reuters. The last time the IMF sent a delegation to a country was on April 15th when the IMF together with representatives from the EU and ECB took a jaunt over to Athens. A month later the country was insolvent. We can't wait for the official denial that this visit has nothing to do with the frozen Spanish liquidity market (like Greece), and that there is nothing to worry about (like Greece), only to end up with a full blown IMF rescue package of the Pyrenean country (just like Greece). This merely confirms the move in PIIGS spreads which despite the joke that is the market moved 10%+ wider on the day. The next domino is about to fall, and no matter how much rumored collusion between two French banks and the Federal Reserve is injected, the EURUSD is likely about to tank. At this point it is wisest to get out of any EURUSD longs, and finally follow Goldman's "advice."
IMF Head Flying To Spain

Time to hop on the JPY v. EUR gravy train...
When the disembodied head of the I-MF flies into town, it is not good news.
"Honest folks, I am just here for Gelato?" OMG!
LOL. Was just going to post that DSK was probably craving some tapas action.
His vacation was scheduled for the Florida Panhandle along the GOM, Pensacola actually. But then.......well you know what's happened there. So it's off to the Spanish Mediterranean beaches.
Yeah, that's the ticket. Vacation with the wife and mistress.......in separate beach houses of course
Certainly helps explain the obvious and deliberate market ramp today. Unrelenting in the face of no news/bad news. Gotta get it higher so that it can deal with the coming drops.
hey guys, the weather is nice in Spain this time of year. don't read so much into this.
Didn't the Greece thing deplete the IMF coffers? Are we going to have to bail them out again, this year?
So...SELL GOLD! Down $1.50 so far this evening.
Wouldn't know that if you watch the 'new' CNBC Asia. They no longer show oil and gold prices on their ticker.
Is that an 'editorial' or not I do not know but I did complain about it.
CNBC US had the wrong spot gold price for a lot of the day.
Maybe they cant afford the price feed license fees any more.
GS is "making bacon" - sick bastards
I think ZH could have an alternate motto of "Doing God's Work Too". Seriously, TD and crew, keep up the kick ass work. Watching the fireworks from the ZH perspective is like front-row seats.
You are correct, when the head of the IMF goes to a country there's more to it than the published accounts. Spain needs money and they are insolvent, why else has the Spanish govt. been making banks buy or merge with other banks these past few years. They are trying to extend and pretend everything is hunky dory, but in reality they are just moving chairs around on the Titanic.
Is Dominique Strauss-Khan kind of hot? Maybe I need to get out more.
Dominique is a dude, Ned. Sorry. Not a hott dude, either. Old.
I could have sworn I saw a picture on the news with some fairly hot chick in front of a bunch of old euro-dudes which said "she" was Dominique. Well, having looked her/him up, I must, lady looks just like a dude. A non-hot, old dude.
Oh, and Spain is most definitely the next to pop, and BP will be bankrupt by fall.
There is an odd symmetry between the global economic meltdown and the ongoing oil disaster. Seems like us homo saps got too smart for our own good, playing masters of the universe with forces we don't fully understand. But I'm sure the universe has seen it all before.
I wonder what it's like to have DSK's job? It must be super cool to fly around giving away lots and lots and lots and lots of other people's money.
The pain for Spain flies mainly in the plane.
"In an extraordinary briefing to trade union chiefs last week,
Europan Union Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso set
out an 'apocalyptic' vision in which crisis-hit countries in southern
Europe could fall victim to military coups or popular uprisings as
interest rates soar and public services collapse because their
governments run out of money."
I wonder if Zapatero has had a chat with Papandreou yet about what happens when the IMF fly in? Papandy flew over to Hungary to get the low-down on what's in DSKs 'toolbox' - Zapa may well be expecting various fiscal stimulae, not a 15 inch rubber cock that the IMF will broom handle in.....
Ay, caramba!
and i thought this was only about those lying, thieving greek untermenschen
The European Union, International Monetary Fund and the U.S. Treasury are planning to provide Spain with a special credit line worth upto EUR 250 billion, Spanish newspaper El Economista has reported citing sources close to discussions.
Not a credit line. Repeat after me, this is not a credit line. That would be bad.
This is a special credit line, its a bit like a credit line but it's special. It's lighter, fluffier, softer on your skin, and doesnt cause internal bleeding if overused.
how feeble is the american mind?
we have just had 18months of spin from PR, lobbyists and bought politicians to enable Wall st to continue its rape of america.
they won that war. now they'll confuse the population by pointing across the sea and screaming "they're broke" and "foreign oil companies are dangerous". so we are now in the protectionist phase of this financial crisis.
wake up america the real problem is the $700bn a year interest payments, the $51bn contribution to wall st bonuses, no audit or transparency in the Fed, a president who makes GWBush look less criminal.
Spain is a pimple on Europe's backside that will cost less than a year of bonuses to solve.
The situation with Spain and some of the other so-called Pigs continue to develop and I have spotted that government bond spreads are widening. I did notice that the notayesmanseconomics web blog has an interesting view on Europe's "shock and awe" SPV rescue vehicle.
"As to the SPV my thoughts turn to a problem with it that I wrote about from the beginning. Spain is responsible for 53.9 billion Euros of the funding. Should she have to draw from the fund how does that work exactly? If conditions continue to deteriorate I suspect that this question will occur to others too."

|January 31, 1998

|Singleplayer / Multiplayer
Generic SEGA racer no.5914E2 fails too impress.
SEGA Touring Car Championship seems to have consciously been designed to offend and bore in equal measure. You get four, count 'em – FOUR – "road beasts" and "two thrilling driving perspectives," not to mention its three tracks (with one bonus track to be discovered) and – gasp! – a digital rear-view mirror! By 1993 standards this would have been revolutionary, but it's unfortunately half a decade late. 3D support? Forget it. A car that suffers damage as it careens off walls? Not here. Resolutions over 320×240? Nope. How about an interesting new slant on the driving genre, such as the ones provided by Carmageddon or Quarantine? Not happening.
You'd think the root of this offense might have been 1997's SEGA Rally Championship, an unambitious arcade racer with almost just as few features. Touring Car Championship is actually worse, crashing on numerous occasions and delivering driving sensations akin to a 2D Gameboy racer when it ran. The idea of giving the game a superficially similar sounding title to Rally Championship with the hope of squeezing a few meager dollars off unwary customers might have been SEGA's business model.
But the core problem stems back much farther than this, with Touring Car Championship having been released on the SEGA Arcade way back in 1996, a full two years before the PC port. It was a meager racer then, and the added advancements in technology and gaming within those intervening years made this PC conversion look like the veritable fossil that it was… and still is.

I've played the Sega Rally Championship demo, and I had the impression it was a bit fun to play. It had something special in the handling model, dunno, though it also was a bad port. But this one just looks terrible. Even the original.
Looks like there were some lazy porting back then, didn't it? Or does porting is always unsatisfying? I remind of Spider-Man of PS1 which was so nice, and got a bad port. They just made the game run and assigned the commands to the keyboard. They ignored that the mouse would be better for camera control and aiming. Also, untouched graphics.
The game has more than 3+1 tracks you mentioned. If you have fully played the game you would even unlock more tracks, a secret car and 3 skins.
The game was simple but it had a decent amount of unlockables that made it better than most of the racing games on that time. The idea of having a "career" mode on that game was good (saturn mode), however the game feels a bit incomplete in that department. If you look at other console racing games by the same year you surely wouldn't get real damage nor career mode. It wasn't a simulator!
The game was a decent try from SEGA and it was very fun to play back in time. I'm just disappointed on how you just try the games and discard them just because you are used to play better (and most recent ones).
I'm not saying it was the best racing game of that time, but surely wasn't the worst. I would rate it 3/5.

Baldwinsville's girls basketball team is assured of a winning record, regardless of what happens the rest of the 2011-12 season.
The Bees' 10th win took place last Tuesday night, in a non-league game against Hannibal, where plenty of offense was on display in a 74-57 victory over the Warriors.
Through an active first half, B'ville set a swift pace, steadily building a 40-23 lead. Hannibal played better in the second half, but the Bees maintained its comfortable margin.
Maggie Monnat again had a spectacular showing, finishing with 31 points from 11 field goals and nine successful free throws. There was ample support, too, as Gabi Jordan had nine points, Erika Wilcox stepped up for eight points, Liz Giromini got seven points and Angelica Romeu added six points.
Hosting Oswego Friday night, the Bees did not lean on Monnat as much, and that lead to a healthier margin as it rolled past the Buccaneers 60-37.
For a half, Oswego did keep it close, only trailing 24-21 at the break. Whatever was said at halftime worked, for the Bees stomped the Bucs in a 22-7 dash through the third quarter, breaking the game open.
Monnat worked her way to 20 points, but had more help. Romeu's 12 points included a pair of 3-pointers, while Hope DeFazio contributed seven points off the bench. Jordan (six points), Giromini (five points) and Andrea Moore (four points) made solid contributions.
B'ville would get its look at Breanna Stewart and defending state Class AA champion Cicero-North Syracuse Tuesday before hosting Central Square two nights later.

Original paper
Einfluß von Phytohormonen auf Entwicklung und Fortpflanzung von Blattläusen (Homoptera: Aphidinea: Aphididae)
Bur, Markus
Entomologia Generalis Volume 10 Number 3-4 (1985), p. 183 - 200
29 references
published: Oct 1, 1985
DOI: 10.1127/entom.gen/10/1985/183
ArtNo. ESP146001003002, Price: 19.80 €
The effects of the plant growth hormones IAA, GA3, ABA and Kinetin upon Aphis fabae Scopoli 1763 on Vicia faba-plants and upon 7 different aphid species bred on an artificial diet were examined. In addition the receptivity of 4 aphid species for these plant growth hormones was tested with the help of radioactive marking. IAA, ABA and above all Kinetin influenced the development and reproduction of A. fabae on V. faba. The body size of the imagines of 4 aphid species was strongly reduced on Kinetin-plants. The artificially fed aphids were bred on the complete diet for 6 generations as far as possible. This succeeded with Myzus persicae (Sulzer 1776) (excepting on the GA3-diet), with A. fabae and for the first time also with Sitobion avenae (Fabricius 1775). IAA, GA3, ABA and Kinetin, added to the diet, influenced the development and reproduction of the examined aphids only slightly. With the exception of Metopolophium dirhodum (Walker 1849) through ABA, the body size was not influenced. The formation of winged morphs occurred in a higher number only with Aulacorthum solani (Kaltenbach 1843) in the F2 fed on the IAA-, GA3 and Kinetin-diet. The receptivity for IAA and ABA is very different for the examined aphid species, whereas it is generally small for GA3 and large for Kinetin.
