is there some issue with envato file hosting? I bought a powerpoint template and it wants 6 hours to download.. which of course means, murphy's law intact, that i can't use it for a presentation on time..
this is not my connection, all else is humming along just fine..
I may be the only one who does this, but it's worth a mention anyway.. (I am only a buyer, not a seller)
I buy HTML templates from Themeforest.. so I login to my account and choose the HTML link in the top menu and then bingo all the templates are displayed.. then I have been using the following filters immediately, most of the time..
..first I choose 'responsive' as I wouldn't want a template to be otherwise.. and then sort those results by Newest Items..
I used to type 'responsive' in the 'search within these results' field but recently the option appears in Tags on the left of the page..
So.. I was searching today and thought it strange that people were still making so many non-responsive templates.. like the number available in total is at time of typing..
5,921 HTML, CSS & Web Templates
and the number shown as responsive when searched within the initial results is;
3,576 HTML, CSS & Web Templates
and the number in the tag list is;
responsive 2,197
so on checking the features of ALL the new templates (5,921) I see they are virtually all responsive and so I have been missing out on seeing them by using the search to find 'responsive' templates..
I am delighted to find so many more to choose from but if this happens with other people, or if it occurs with other common search criteria, it might mean that sales are being lost by displaying incomplete or anomolous search results..
Please forgive a comment that has nothing to do with the veracity of various traffic stats, but as a buyer (not an author) I use this site and others frequently and I've noticed a clear drop in the quality of items in the categories I buy/browse in. There also seem to be a lot of much smaller alternatives popping up, particularly for templates (Themeforest type items I mean)
I love this site and will continue to use it as before (also the other envato sites) but it seems maybe there is possibly just a tmp lull as these latest templates are relying more heavily on the header photo to sell what is pretty much a bunch of excruciatingly samey code and layouts.
The laws of physics and the marketplace (not to mention those fine people in the envato marketing dept) will no doubt kick in if there is anything to the alleged stats from Alexa, and things will be all a buzz again in no time..
..so, even if the stats are wrong it would be nice to see some new trends in the available product.. I just spent many hours digging back in time looking for templates today and the ones that are outstanding are mostly quite old with not so recent updates.. we've been spoiled for a long time now with the amazing quality and value so its hard to fight off 'stale' at some point..
Looking good Fine work you do there Rowan!
Yep.. all looks good now
One thing I noticed though is that the Collections list page has an issue with the first Collection layout now broken..
see this here..
for the last few weeks I notice that the Themeforest/Graphicriver site glyphs/fonts/icons are showing the hex code when viewed in Firefox .. I have FF set correctly to display the site fonts etc so wondered if there might be any comment as to why?
Recently we were forced to change passwords due to the issues with SSL etc. but I see you have now returned to captcha authentication. Can you not either adopt a less frustrating authentication method (there are several) or allow users to choose whether to use it or not?
Captcha contstantly requires refreshing to get two words that are legible and in some cases it takes many attempts and rejections to login to a simple marketplace like this? If you can even separate sellers and buyers (where I understand there may be seller financial info stored) it would be great as I am only a buyer. This is not a request from a dummy newbie in case that's the reaction I get, I actually work with encryption and security, so while i appreciate the need to provide further authentication, there are several better ways to do it so I don't curse envato and that awful captcha system daily
Just wondering when the money will be credited to our accounts.. I can't see any reference to this promotion any more.

Last week, the Valley Morning Star reported that Willacy County, Texas has entered into mediation over a lawsuit filed against a construction company that allegedly practiced poor workmanship in constructing a controversial private prison in Raymondville. The subsequent repairs cost the county $620,000, according to County Judge John F. Gonzales ("Prison lawsuit goes to mediation", 4/18/2014).
The county filed the lawsuit against Hale-Mills Construction, a company that operates out of Houston, on March 7. The county has accused Hale-Mills of poor construction on the $7.5 million Willacy County Jail, a $14.5 million county private prison used by the U.S. Marshals' service, as well as a $111.5 million county-funded private detention center comprised of tent-shaped structures.
The county wishes to mediate with Hale-Mills, which has been accused of poor construction practices that allegedly resulted in roof leaks at the U.S. Marshals'-contracted prison. These conditions lead the Marshals' Service, which pays the county to house prisoners, to threaten to remove the people in their custody from the facility in 2011, according to Gonzales.
"We want to get this resolved as soon as possible," Gonzales said. Traci Koenig, Hale Mills' director of business development, hopes for a "peaceful resolution" to the lawsuit as well.
Gonzales said that Hale-Mills began reparing the roof in 2012, a job that was not completed by November of that year, which prompted Willacy County to hire another company to repair the leaky roof which cost the County $620,000. Even with those damages, Gonzales claims, the roof was still under warranty at that time.
Hale-Mills and Corplan Corrections, an Argyle consulting firm, are not new to Willacy County. Both were hired by the county to construct the Willacy County Adult Correctional Center. That year, two former Willacy County Commissioners pleaded guilty to receiving bribes of $10,000 from each company.
U.S. Congressman John Culbertson said in a budget hearing that Texas has had a "very successful prison industry."
Culbertson also opined that that Texas has had "Great success...using private contractors" and that those contractors "operate at a significant savings to taxpayers." He also claimed that private facilities provided better food and services overall, and are liable for any issues that may arise.
Texas Prison Bidness, however, has reported several counter-examples of the "great success" portrayed in the recent BOP budget hearing:
The Corrections Corporation of America's witholding information regarding deaths at the Dawson State Jail, where a baby girl died prematurely after no medical personnel were assigned to oversee her mother's care;
The repeated sexual abuse and unsanitary living conditions reported at the Texas Youth Commission's Coke County Juvenile Justice Center, run the the GEO Group;
and the lawsuit filed against Reeves County, the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the GEO Group following medical neglect that lead to the death of Jesus Manuel Galindo.
These are only three counter-examples among many that suggest that the "great success" of the private prison industry in Texas is merely a mirage.
The video of the Bureau of Prisons budget hearing is embedded below. The comments in question begin at 49:34.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the GEO Group will host an earnings call today, April 29, 2014 at 11:00 am eastern time (10:00 am central) ("The GEO Group Announces Date for First Quarter 2014 Earnings Release and Conference Call," 4/17/14).
A live audio webcast will be available on the Conference Calls/Webcasts section of the GEO Group website. A webcast audio replay will also be available for one year.

The Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) has sheduled a first-quarter earnings call for May 8, according to Marketwatch ("CCA Announces 2014 First Quarter Earnings and Conference Call Dates," 4/23/14).
The conference call will take place at 10:00 am central time (11:00 am eastern) on Thursday, May 8, 2014. The call can be accessed through the CCA website.

Medical Students Exposure to Drug Industry Marketing
PLoS Medicine article "Medical Students' Exposure to and Attitudes about the Pharmaceutical Industry: A Systematic Review" delves into medical student exposure to the pharmaceutical industry during their schooling and how this affects their attitudes towards the drug industry's marketing practices. Finds "undergraduate medical education provides substantial contact with pharmaceutical marketing, and the extent of such contact is associated with positive attitudes about marketing and skepticism about negative implications of these interactions."

Beautiful alternative to standard laptop stands
Elizabeth from Louisville, KY – Verified Buyer
We have two of them in the office. Easy to assemble and very well-made. They work well with standard-sized office chairs.
Very nice stand
J from Little Rock, AR – Verified Buyer
Top is kidney shaped, with the right side extended a bit further than the left. Assembly was easy. Had to search the box for one part, but it was there. Stand is stable. Lowering the top is difficult and the height should be adjusted before placing anything on it. Quick shipment from Wayfair.
Looks good but impossible to adjust
Robert from San Mateo, CA – Verified Buyer
Ok, so this item looks great, with the stainless steel and glass ... but, there are 2 big problems with it. First, there's an aluminum decorative plate that comes with it that doesn't even fit properly. Now, it could have been a one-off glitch, but I ended up trying to hammer the plate into place, and then finally gave up and just used it without the plate (it still works fine without it). Secondly, although this is supposed to be an adjustable stand, apparently the manufacturer doesn't know the difference between what would be good for a height adjustable chair and a height adjustable stand. The height adjusting mechanism on this stand is impossible to adjust down, unless you essentially sit on it like you would a chair. You have to put a fair amount of weight on it in order for it to go down at all, otherwise, it just pops right up to the top. I basically adjusted it a few times and now just leave it at a single height since it's so hard to re-adjust. Now that it's set, I still use this thing as it's convenient and nice to look at, but the manufacturer should do some research into usability and do some QA to make sure all the parts fit together.

This is the final posting from conservation biologist and photographer Cheryl-Samantha Owen who has been working with the Save Our Seas Foundation (SOSF) on the Aldabra Atoll to document the abundance of large shark species.
The rough seas of the monsoon season can make it difficult to get off the Aldabra atoll but the Save Our Seas team found themselves wishing for even tougher conditions, making it impossible to leave.
Standing closer to the bow than the rest of my expedition team, who sat huddled in wet t-shirts at the back, the ocean's salty spray lashed at my eyes with each breaker that washed over us and I could see every wave that loomed ahead, magnified 10 fold in my blurry vision, before we climbed it.
Our Seychellois captain had many years of ocean tales to recount and I assumed he could see more sea than I.
While rubbing his eyes in a futile attempt to keep them dry, however, he announced: "You never can tell which waves the boat will glide down or which ones we will fly off," and my knuckles paled a shade whiter.
We flew off quite a few, but considering the battle between the current and its opposing 35-knot southeast wind staging all around us the four-hour journey from the Aldabra Atoll to Assumption Island went relatively smoothly.
During this monsoon season research scientists on Aldabra are often unable to get safely off the island for months at a time, and watching Aldabra gradually fade into the blue, I couldn't help but wish I were one of them.
How do you breathe in - freeze frame the memories of an expedition to a place so far removed from most places on Earth today that it feels like another, forgotten, world? More importantly, how do you take Aldabra to the rest of the world?
The Save Our Seas Foundation has joined forces with the Aldabra Foundation to do just this.
Our expedition footage and photographs will be become part of an exhibition, travelling to cities worldwide in an effort to raise awareness of the extraordinary natural paradise that still exists on Aldabra and in its surrounding waters.
Back on Aldabra, as I watched a little blonde 4-year-old, the daughter of Aldabra's research officer, splashing in the sandy shallows with blacktip reef sharks swimming nonchalantly past her, I realised that this is how it is meant to be.
Day by day the atoll revealed more and more of its treasures to us, and with them uncovered a forgotten past that has existed here, unaffected by human influence, since the age of reptiles, millions of years ago.
That existence, which once belonged to every tropical reef and mangrove forest on earth, still remains on Aldabra today.
Over time these portholes back in time have been narrowed down to a few fragmented protected areas, and most people will never experience first hand planet Earth in all its glory revelling in a life undisrupted by humans.
Even though statistics show that New Yorkers bite more people than sharks, sharks have suffered terribly at the hands of man, and with more than 100m killed each year, we are busy wiping out a group of animals that has survived since before our existence to extinction.
The world needs people to appreciate the intrinsic beauty of sharks and their absolute necessity for maintaining a healthy ocean, and I hope that what we found and have brought back from Aldabra will inspire people to go against the ingrained media-driven perception of sharks.
We went to Aldabra to document the abundance of large shark species. What we found in a place termed 'the most inhospitable place on earth' was one of the most hospitable places in the sea for inshore shark species.
Inside the lagoon and fringing reef the blacktip reef sharks proliferate - they were everywhere on all our inshore dives. Given time, the sicklefin lemon and gray reef could also be counted on for an appearance, both in the lagoon channels and on the reefs, and on a couple of occasions we were graced with the presence of elegant silvertip and whitetip sharks.
Outside the protection of the reef our search for pelagic shark species revealed empty blue water, and considering the amount of bait we used, which can be detected by sharks miles down current, it looks as if they have vanished from the surrounding waters.
Reports of tigers sharks in the lagoon haunted us day and night but these gray ghosts with their vibrant tiger stripes eluded us.
We cannot say with certainty there are none left, perhaps those that have survived the long lines of baited hooks in the surrounding waters were hunting turtles in the more remote and inaccessible parts of the lagoon or perhaps they were further a-field; Tiger sharks have been recorded migrating between Australia and South Africa.
Another explanation is that they are active more at night on Aldabra, but even if one of these possible theories is correct the numbers are still drastically low.
As for the other oceanic species, such as oceanic white tip and the great hammerhead, there were none there for us to photograph.
The words of greatest naturalist George B Schaller could never be more poignant than in this day and age: "Pen and camera are weapons against oblivion; they can create awareness for that which may soon be lost forever."
I hope that the images we have come away with of the magic we did find, of a land and ocean living as it is meant to be, will help to fill in and repopulate the blue voids of the places that have lost their life.

Have you ever wondered how the American dollar holds up to others around the world? Well, the video will tell ya!
$100 is worth $100 right? Actually, nope. We all know that $100 for a night out on the town in Lafayette goes a lot further than say $100 for a night out in New Orleans. So, compared to the rest of the country, what's $100 worth in Louisiana? Maybe more than you think!

I'm really not big on philosophy/critical analysis being all that important in one's personal library. But I can recommend The Nature of Photographs: A Primer by Stephen Shore.

I'm really not big on philosophy/critical analysis being all that important in one's personal library. But I can recommend The Nature of Photographs: A Primer by Stephen Shore.
I second the recommendation of "The Photographers Eye", and "Looking at Photographs". Also "Pictorialism to Modernism" which is an excellent illustrated discussion of photographers. and processes in the 1st half of the century.
Nothing I can recommend, but maybe of interest to you:
A book I have enjoyed rereading many times is " The New Vision" by Maria Morris Hambourg from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While it seems to follow the usual "everything follows Stieglitz" trend, a careful reading allows a line through Clarence Whites' Students to the Modernism of the 1920's and 30's. Christoper Phillips essay is good and makes me want to get a copy of his "Photography in the Modern Era: European Documents and Critical Writings, 1913-1940 "
Maybe the Aperture anthology edited recently can be part of your to-read list? The selection of articles is pretty wide to cover multiple aspects of photography.
Oh well, didn't have time to reply yesterday; but then I thought if I wait a bit, I'll just have to second the obvious. :cool:
On my own shelf, and all well thumbed--
Sontag (both titles; look up the other one)
--most were mentioned before.
For a masterpiece of a critical monograph, Looking in Robert Frank's The Americans. Kozloff's Theatre of the Face for a more encyclopaedic approach to one specific niche.
But if you really want to feel 20th century photography, nothing will beat getting and fondling, night after night, some of the monumental, seminal works of the period--Nachtwey's Inferno, Smith's Minamata, Salgado's Sahel, Koudelka's Gypsies...
Pretty much anything by Depardon, if you read French, combined with some rambling, incoherent thinking of your own, will give you great into the roots, the very heart of the published-back-then image: the mind of the photographer.
These just for starters... :)
Besides the outstanding, if not "mandatory" 20th Century suggestions above, try these on for size (I still revisit them in my home library, often):
"The Camera Viewed: Writings on Twentieth-Century Photography", Vols 1 & 2 (Softbound), edited by Peninah R. Petruck.
"Photography in Print: Writings from 1816 to the Present", edited by Vicki Goldberg.
"Diana & Nikon", by Janet Malcolm.
"A World History of Photography", by Naomi Rosenblum.
"American Photography: A Critical History 1945 to the Present", by Jonathan Greene.
"Looking at Photographs", by John Szarkowski.
"Aperture Magazine Anthology: The Minor White Years, 1952-1972", edited by Peter Bunnell (recently published).
Essay: "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" by Walter Benjamin.
In addition, seek out every monograph (of interest).

An employment manager is a general use human resources (HR) manager who is tasked with offering general input into recruitment, screening, training, and general management of new and existing employees within a company. The employment manager's main goal is to ensure an efficient, enjoyable workplace and workforce that complies with all relevant regulatory requirements. Because the acquisition and training of new employees can be costly for an organization, the employment manager's second main goal is to keep employee turnover to a minimum.Read More...
The employment manager will typically offer guidance and help design guidelines that ensure effective recruiting practices. He/she will normally keep records of which recruitment tools (such as advertising on job-related websites or employee referral programs) provide the best means of improving the company's workforce. He/she will then work within those identified effective approaches as much as possible.
The employment manager will contribute to screening and interview systems, including any testing evaluations that may apply. The manager will also help develop systems for proper collecting and storing of employee record forms, such as tax forms and those which may apply to tax credits for the company.
Finally, the employment manager will advise and help administer standard HR policies regarding the maintenance of a healthy and positive workplace.
Those in this position may help establish general regulations and assist department and group managers in coaching and termination decisions. He/she also ensures that all documentation regarding current employees is complete and within standard equal opportunity regulations.
To work as an employment manager, one generally must have a degree in business management related to human resources. An employment manager must be computer-proficient and also possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Typically, these managers work regular business hours during the week.

It's not very common for Employment Managers to move on to become Human Resources Directors. Average pay for a Human Resources Director is $78K annually. As Employment Managers progress in their field, many go on to become Human Resources Managers. In fact, this transition is more common than anything else, and pay for the position is usually $58K per year. Another common career choice for Employment Managers is to move into a Human Resources Generalist role. Typically, Human Resources Generalists get paid $47K.
Job skills reported by Employment Managers are limited. Most notably, skills in Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and Windows Operating System General Use are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Windows Operating System General Use. Those educated in Microsoft Excel tend to be well versed in Microsoft Word.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
In general, experience and pay appear to be strongly linked; those with more experience usually bring in higher incomes. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $43K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $55K. Employment Managers who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $61K. More than 20 years of experience seem related to solid financial gains; veterans in this group report earning a median of $74K.

Upland, California (PRWEB) July 18, 2014
Family members of a victim of Washington Navy Yard shooter, Aaron Alexis, achieved their first court victory this past Monday, in their lawsuit against the United States Navy, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and two defense contractors after receiving information provided by California-based human rights organization, Freedom From Covert Harassment and Surveillance (FFCHS).
The judge denied a motion to dismiss filed by the defendants who claimed Alexis' actions were a random act of violence. The judge's decision was based in part upon a declaration provided by FFCHS Executive Vice President Timothy R. White, which established through email correspondence that Aaron Alexis knew in advance who his attackers were.
"I have what I believe to be the locations for where they've been developing these weapons for decades. The ELF weapons are part of the weapons systems of most of the modern vessels fielded by the Navy," wrote Alexis in an email exchange with the group's president, Derrick Robinson, September 1, 2013, two weeks prior to the September 16 naval yard shootings.
The judge also granted Florida attorney Sid Matthew limited discovery and access to the defendant's post shooting files and records for additional fact finding.
