Celebrated gospel singer, Tope Alabi, has said the newly released video of her chart-bursting album, Agbelebu gulped a lot of money. The artiste, who refused to disclose the exact amount spent on the video production, however added that the money was justifiable considering the quality of the video in terms of picture quality and costumes.
She also said the production was the first time she would dedicate much time and money to the video of any of her works.
Alabi said, ''It took us a year to produce it and it was shot in Abeokuta, Lagos and Erin Ijesha Water Falls in Osun State. We faced logistical challenges and some people nearly prevented us from using the location because they wanted money. We had to do what they requested. We also waited for many hours to ensure that the place was free of visitors before we could use it because we didn't need people in the background.''
According to her, she had finished with some tracks in the album before receiving a 'divine direction to abandon them and start all over again.'
Stating that talented music producer, Akin Alabi directed the video, the singer noted that the sequencing of the lyrics and tracks would appeal to any music lover who watches the video.
Besides, the singer and her husband, Soji, are reaching out to orphans and those in need through a platform, MarDeborah Comforter Foundation. She said her husband usually offers assistance to indigent people and they reasoned that such charitable disposition would be more coordinated if they initiate a forum to cater for the needy.
''We plan to go to orphanage homes to entertain them, give them gifts and cook for them. But if we are not allowed to cook for them, we will buy what they want and allow them do the cooking. We want to give back more to the society. I should not only be getting honorarium as a singer, there is a need to reach out to those in need too, '' she added.

Verenium Corporation (NASDAQ:VRNM)
Q1 2012 Earnings Call
May 10, 2012 5:00 p.m. ET
James Levine – President, Chief Executive Officer
Jeffrey Black – Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer
Janet Roemer – Chief Operating Officer
Laurence Alexander - Jefferies & Co.
Good day ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Verenium Corporation's first quarter 2012 earnings conference call. [Operator instructions.] I would now like to hand the conference over to Mr. Jeff Black, chief financial officer. Sir, you may begin.
Jeffrey Black
Thank you, and good afternoon. Thank you for joining Verenium's first quarter 2012 conference call. I'm Jeff Black, chief financial officer, and with me today are Jamie Levine, our CEO, and Janet Roemer, our chief operating officer.
The agenda for today's call is as follows. First, Jamie will provide an outlook on the business moving forward in light of the transaction we recently announced with DSM. Janet will then discuss commercial operations, including Q1 performance, and I will then review our financial results for the first quarter of 2012 and provide updated 2012 financial guidance.
Before we begin, I would like to advise you that this discussion will include certain statements that are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements that involve a high degree of risk and uncertainty. These statements relate to matters such as our strategy, future operating plans, markets for our products, partnering, collaboration activities, public policy, financing, M&A activities, technical, and business outlooks.
The company's actual results may differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our filings with the SEC, including, but not limited to, our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31st, 2011, and in our subsequently filed quarterly reports on form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof.
And I will now turn the call over to Jamie.
James Levine
Thanks Jeff. And good afternoon everyone, and thanks for joining us. I'd like to start with a few comments regarding the recent transaction with DSM. As you know, in March we announced that DSM has acquired certain commercial and pipeline products for a total consideration of $37 million. And I'd like to add two observations to the comments that we made at the time of the announcement.
First, you've heard us talk in the past about how our technology can create the highest-performing enzymes. Our sale of Purifine shows a global player like DSM clearly agreed with the substance of our claim. However, for our current portfolio, the same performance advantage is also true. Fuelzyme, our high-performance product for corn bioethanol, has a fundamentally different mode of action compared to competitors' enzymes, and Janet will describe how this has allowed us to grow our sales of Fuelzyme in a very challenging period for corn bioethanol.
The second observation I'd make about the DSM deal is that a number of global companies we've met with in the past several weeks have emphasized that they've had a longstanding interest in accessing Verenium's technology, but also a concern about the impact of the convertible notes on our financial health. With the debt now behind us, we're finding that opportunities for partnering have expanded.
I'll now turn to the meat of my comments regarding our sources of growth in light of the changes from the DSM transaction. Fundamentally, our future success relies on execution and not new technology development. It therefore follows that there's a lot of transparency into our growth going forward. Today, we sell eight products under three product lines, and simply put, our growth is coming from these eight products and our product pipeline.
We anticipate providing more detail at our capital markets day this summer, but given the focus over the last few weeks from investors on our current growth profile, I'd like to be clear about our pipeline as it stands today. In our animal health and nutrition product line, we are developing four enzymes together with Novus. Given that Verenium developed two of the four high-performing Phytase enzymes serving this large market today, we have a strong view of what's required to succeed in animal feed, and we believe our offering will be highly attractive to this market.
In our grain processing product line, our recent partnership with Tate & Lyle represents a new source of near term growth, and we believe we can add substantially to our grain processing pipeline through additional partnering discussions currently underway.
Finally, we come to oil field services. As of today, several large and mid-sized oil field services companies are testing our Pyrolase product used for breaking guar in the hydrolic fracturing process. The feedback indicates Pyrolase can cost-effectively address an area not well-served by the current breakers on the market. Namely, wells that are too hot for standard breakers, typically over 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The growth of this product is a critical area of focus for the company and we look forward to updating our progress in the future.
For the oil field services pipeline, we are announcing today that in the first quarter we submitted for regulatory authorization a more thermostable version of our Pyrolase product, which will expand the potential portion of the fracturing market our products can serve. We expect that process will allow us to bring this new product to market in 2013, if not sooner, because the regulatory process for this product is shorter than we usually describe. We are already allowing potential customers to test this product candidate in their labs, and they are seeing strong performance at very high temperatures.
Importantly, with this announcement of a new oil field services product candidate entering regulatory, we now expect to begin commercial sale in 2013 of pipeline products from each of our three product lines. This lays out our product pipeline and our current product lines.
We remain committed to adding new development candidates to our portfolio. Our platform has created products with industry-leading performance, yet we only have products to address around 20% of the broader industrial enzymes market. In fact, BCC Research recently issued a new report on the global industry enzymes industry that increases the estimated size of the industry to $3.9 billion in 2011 and increases the future growth rate of the industry to 9.1%.
This is more bullish than previous forecasts, and is driven by the global increase in demand for enzymes, given their high-performance and environment benefits. The partnership discussions we are having today are focused on broadening the portion of the enzyme market we target, creating the opportunity for near term revenue from collaborations, and achieving medium-term revenue from new commercial products.
Looking ahead through the end of the year, we expect to announce milestones relating to improvements in our current product sales performance, particularly for Pyrolase, as well as additional partnerships within, and outside, of our current three product lines.
I'll close with a few comments from our participation in the industrial biotechnology industry conference a few weeks ago in Florida. One significant area of discussion and concern at the conference was the business volatility we have seen from some of the recent IPOs in the broader clean tech space. For Verenium, as a more mature operating platform, we have already gone through the process of scaling up our manufacturing processes, and today our goals rely on executing our sales plans for the high-performance products we already have on the market.
A second observation from the conference is that we received significantly more interest than in the past in using our technology to create high-performance enzymes for cellulosic conversion. Recall that after the transaction with BP, Verenium retains the right to use all of our discovery and evolution tools to develop enzymes for use in the cellulosic industry. And while we don't believe it's a place where we will invest our own resources, we believe we have a unique offering to partners in the cellulosic area.
In closing, I'd like to mention the National Bioeconomy Blueprint released by the White House in April. Industrial enzymes like ours clearly address many of the objectives laid out in that report, and given our technology is well-validated and widely applicable, we're focused on looking at all opportunities, with companies and with government support, to deploy our technology.
Overall, I'm very encouraged with the outlook for Verenium. With our debt issue now behind us, and with the ability to focus on developing the business, and particularly the pipeline, we believe we have ample opportunities for important value creation. Our vision continues to be building a leading industrial enzymes business with high-performance, sustainable products, with a focus on profitability.
I look forward to updating you on continued progress on all these fronts. And with that, I'll turn the call over to Janet.
Janet Roemer
Thank you Jamie. While we are facing some challenging market conditions for our core products, I'm nevertheless pleased to provide an update on operational results from the first quarter of 2012.
Revenue from our largest product line, animal health and nutrition, decreased 8% in the first quarter over the same period last year. Total revenue from Phyzyme Phytase was essentially flat, and the decline was largely due to the absence of a short term opportunity we had in 2011 to [unintelligible] produce.
Revenue from our second-largest product line, grain processing, decreased 8% when compared to the same period in 2011, which reflects lower sales of Xylathin Xylanase used in Europe for wheat ethanol and DELTAZYM glucoamylase, a product we distribute. However, sales of our lead product, Fuelzyme Alpha-amylase, were up versus the same period of 2011 as we added new customers and saw an improvement in European Fuelzyme sales.
The industry overall continues to be seriously challenged by the blend wall, which has resulted in an oversupply of ethanol and depressed its price. This has caused many ethanol producers to reduce operating rates. In addition, enzyme dose is being more closely monitored and minimized.
We do not expect the industry to recover soon, but such challenging conditions increase interest in sources of cost savings, which we can demonstrate with our Fuelzyme product, and we will continue to pursue growth by gaining share based on its unique characteristics, supported by improved manufacturing capability, which I will describe later.
We will be promoting Fuelzyme and our entire portfolio of products for this industry through more aggressive advertising, marketing, and by raising our profile in the industry through activities such as our sponsorship of the upcoming Fuel Ethanol Workshop in Minneapolis, where we will also have a booth.
Now I'll move to our product pipeline, and important driver of future growth. As Jamie mentioned, we have an active suite of products in development. Of particular note, along with our partner Novus, we achieved an important milestone in the first quarter by selecting the specific Phytase enzyme from among the finalist candidates as the lead candidate to take forward to commercialization.
As previously discussed, together with Novus we have three additional product candidates currently in late-stage development for animal health and nutrition. Through the first quarter, these projects remained on track for achieving commercialization targets.
Turning now to manufacturing, we continued to make progress in our operations at Fermic, in Mexico City, including increasing capacity for manufacturing Fuelzyme by removing minor bottlenecks.
Recently we've achieved improvements in average yield per fermentation batch and reduction in unit cost. These initial positive results stem from the planning and execution of several relatively small projects, and importantly, we expect further improvements from our manufacturing investment program being implemented over the summer.
Reducing manufacturing costs and improving gross margins were priorities we laid out at last year's capital markets day, and I'm pleased to see these initial results, which will benefit Verenium as well as DSM, as we will continue to manufacture Purifine PLC, the product line they purchased, and [Veritase] alpha-amylase and a xylanase, which they licensed for the food industry.
This agreement will allow us to keep asset utilization high, and the initiatives we have underway will further benefit the products we supply to DSM as well as our own current and future products.
In closing, I'm encouraged by operational accomplishments to date, especially in light of market conditions, and look forward to reporting continued progress throughout the rest of the year. With that, I'll turn the call over to Jeff.
Jeff Black
Thank you Janet. Over the next few minutes, I will provide some commentary on the quarterly financial results we announced earlier today, and then provide updated financial guidance for 2012.
With respect to financial results, some quick commentary on the DSM transaction reflected in our financials for the quarter. Based on current accounting rules, the DSM transaction contained multiple elements that we are required to separately value and account for, and as a result, in our first quarter our statement of operations reflects the allocation of the cash proceeds in two different line items.
We allocated $1.5 million of the proceeds to license fee revenues, and we allocated about $31.5 million to a gain on the sale of our oil seed business, which is reflected net of transaction costs. For purposes of reviewing the first quarter results, we think it's important to exclude the impact of this gain.
In the first quarter, our product revenue decreased over last year from about $13 million to $11.7 million. In animal health and nutrition, as Janet mentioned, Phyzyme revenue was flat, but product revenue decreased in total due to a short term [total] manufacturing arrangement in 2011.
In grain processing, Xylathin revenue is down year over year, and while we remain cautious about our expectations for continued growth of Fuelzyme, we did see growth in Fuelzyme sales in the first quarter as compared to 2011. We also saw a decrease in oil seed processing revenue, which is due primarily to lower Purifine sales volumes to one customer that suspended operations for a plant modification. Although we sold our Purifine business to DSM at the end of the first quarter, we expect to continue to manufacture the product for them into the foreseeable future.
Our product gross profit for the first quarter decreased from $4.9 million in 2011 to $4.4 million, which is largely attributed to the overall decrease in product revenues. Product gross margin percentage remained flat at 38% as compared to 2011.
Our collaborative and license revenue increased in the first quarter from just below $400,000 in 2011 to $5.5 million. The major drivers of this growth were the recognition of $2.9 million from our Phytase license to Novus and the $1.5 million in license fees from the DSM transaction.
As we've stated before, the amount of our collaborative and license revenue will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and this revenue source is largely driven by the timing of deliverables and milestones related to our development partnerships.
We think it's especially important to note that the potential for variability in our collaborative and license revenue, since it can impact our reported operating loss or income on a quarter to quarter basis. As an example, we reported pro forma operating income of about $800,000 during the first quarter of 2012, and this was largely driven by our Novus and DSM license revenue.
Our operating expenses, excluding restructuring charges and cost of product revenue, increased in the first quarter of 2012 from $7.1 million to $9.1 million. However, excluding the impact of $1.1 million in legal fees reimbursed in the first quarter of 2011 in connection with the settlement of our note holder lawsuit, and transaction fees during the first quarter of 2012 associated with the financing alternatives we were pursuing, our total operating expenses remained flat year over year. And at the same time, our R&D expenses increased, which reflects our continued focus on investing in the product pipeline while controlling SG&A costs.
From a cash perspective, we ended the quarter with unrestricted cash, net of outstanding convertible notes and accrued interest, of $22.8 million and $5.7 million in restricted cash. Our restricted cash consists of $2.5 million related to our BP escrow agreement and $3.2 million that secures a letter of credit for our new landlord. After our debt retirement, and based upon the operating covenants in the lease, we anticipate that an additional $1.6 million in restricted cash under this letter of credit will free up during the third quarter.
Now turning to our updated financial guidance for 2012. In 2012 we expect total revenue between $58 million and $62 million, with approximately 10-15% of total revenue coming from collaborations and license fees. We expect to generate product gross profit between $19 million and $21 million, and excluding the gain on the DSM transaction we expect to end 2012 with an operating loss between $7 million and $9 million.
And finally, we expect capital expenditures between $8 million and $9 million. This includes both investments and manufacturing at Fermic, as well as capital required to complete the buildout of our new facility in San Diego.
And as Jamie mentioned earlier, we are targeting operating profitability in 2014. This assumes we achieve continued revenue and margin growth from Fuelzyme, a ramp up from Pyrolase, and successful commercial launch of our Phytase product with Novus.
We look forward to updating you with more details on our projections during our capital markets day this summer. And with that, we will now open the call up to take your questions.
Question-and-Answer Session
[Operator instructions.] We have a question from Laurence Alexander from Jefferies.
Laurence Alexander - Jefferies
As you look at Fuelzyme, at the market opportunity, how much of the U.S. and European market is easily addressable? That is, you have a clear and fairly sharp value proposition. And then how much of the market is addressable, but it might take a long time to convince people to switch over?
Janet Roemer
That's a good question. Looking at the U.S. market of about 14.5 billion gallons, roughly speaking, about 11.5 of that is addressable, theoretically. So if we have to back out [unintelligible], which has a unique process. So we consider that the addressable market. And as we look at it today, a fairly large percentage of that market is in corporate hands. In other words, multiple plants or buying groups. And those are more challenging to capture. However, once you do, the prize is much bigger. And so I'd say it's kind of a matter of how well we can penetrate some of those multi-fleet plants that will really ramp up the sales of the product.
And in Europe, it continues to be a relatively much smaller market. Our distributor has done well there, but we don't expect growth particularly in that market as it's going forward.
Laurence Alexander - Jefferies
I guess on Purifine, can you give a little bit more granularity about how you see market adoption evolving? That is, should it be fairly linear from here? Or should we be looking at a little bit of a bump, three or four quarters out?
James Levine
I think the biggest relevance for us now going forward on Purifine will be as a manufacturing opportunity, because obviously DSM will be responsible for the selling, etc. We'll just be on the manufacturing side. And I'd say that while there is certainly a margin in that for us, and it may be something that we manufacture for a few years, I don't think it will be a major contributor to the business going forward, at least as compared to Fuelzyme.
And maybe just to add one other thing to your earlier point, as Janet said in her comments, we've often talked about how we've scaled our Fuelzyme sales with our manufacturing ability, and as Janet commented, with some of the recent benefits in manufacturing we're starting to see greater opportunities for growing Fuelzyme through having supply.
And also, in terms of looking at addressable plants, it also comes down to the overall cost proposition. I don't think that's a major driver, but it's certainly a part of the overall equation for getting a plant to convert from a competitor enzyme to our enzyme is the overall value proposition. And the ability to think about being able to reduce the cost, we have more flexibility to think about how we try to penetrate the market.
Laurence Alexander - Jefferies
And then for the product that you're launching next year, would it be fair to use the Fuelzyme ramp as a good proxy? Any way that you can help us envisage how you see that play into contribution in 2013 as opposed to 2014? And I realize you'll address this at the capital markets day.
James Levine
I think that's right. I think it will be useful to take some time at the capital markets day to talk about each of the pipeline products, particularly the ones that are in the near term launch phase, because they're all very different. Some are addressing a more traditional market for enzymes, but also we have products in the near term pipeline that are creating new markets, and so therefore it's as much about adoption rate and selling rates as it is about how quickly we can penetrate or take share.
So I think we'll be able to go through that in some more detail at the capital markets day this summer, but I do think that we wanted to emphasize that we see pipeline products coming to market from each of the three areas in 2013.
Laurence Alexander - Jefferies
And then just to be clear on two other things, just in terms of broad messaging, selling additional product lines is not a priority at this point? And second, the target of getting to operating profitability in 2014 does not rely on any new adjacencies beyond the three products you've addressed?
James Levine
Yes. I think that's right. To your first point, correct, selling new product lines is not strategic. I do think that we'll always be looking at our products and what we have to partner, because very often through partnerships we can take our products to new markets, and so those may be opportunities. But as we look at our target for profitability in 2014, operational profitability in 2014, that is about the products that we sell today and the products that we have in our near term pipeline, not new technology development or fundamentally new partnerships that are going to change the profile of the business.
Laurence Alexander - Jefferies
And then roughly how much of an R&D drag will you have just for development of new technology products that are not part of these three categories?
James Levine
Well, I think the important thing about that question, Laurence, is it will be dependent, and certainly within our control, based on where we choose to go with partnerships. So we've said that we're in a whole series of discussions right now, and just to be clear when we talk about partnerships, what we talk about is how do we think about either co-funding, together with a partner, or derisking, the approach of bringing product to market.
And I think therefore if we do find that those partnerships come to fruition and the partner is cofounding a lot of the development costs, we may choose to do more. But to the extent that that's not the case, we can scale back, obviously bearing in mind that we're going to continue to move forward on the products we currently have in our pipeline. So we have a lot of flexibility is the answer, and part of it will depend on how the partnerships play out.
Jeffrey Black
To answer that question a little bit differently - maybe it's helpful for you - is when you look at the last couple of quarters, when you take a look at the R&D expense, roughly 65% to 70% of that expense relates to pipeline development, and the rest would relate to supporting existing commercial products.
Laurence Alexander - Jefferies
And just to try and simplify, or try and tease out a nuance, I guess the underlying message is that, at least for the next couple of years, there should not be a significant cash burn associated with new R&D projects above and beyond the three core growth areas. Is that a fair way to characterize it? You will spend the money if people come to you and are willing to partner and fund it?
James Levine
Yes, and I would say co-fund it would be the only nuance. There are circumstances where in order to preserve our share of the back end revenues and profitability, we're willing to co-fund. And so we may choose to do that, but each one of those decisions will be made on situation by situation basis. But the strategy is very much about bringing current pipeline products to market and focusing on commercial sales of our current products.
I'm showing no further questions at this time. I would like to hand the conference back over for any closing remarks.
Jeffrey Black
Thank you for joining us today, and we look forward to updating you in the future.

While doing some research on food societies within different cultures, I came across this very cool market in Turin, Italy. It's a market where people barter their skills and services for other goods, such as food and other useful things.
Turin's No Money Marketplace
The Regali Senza Moneta (or Gifts Without Money) initiative, is a barter-based marketplace located in Turin, Italy. Participants can come together to exchange objects, services and knowledge. Money is banned from the market, which aims to affirm the value of exchange and create connections.
La Stampa reports:
Bargains without money
Luca Indemni – Fabrizio Vespa
"Leave your wallet at home†– that could be the slogan of the Gifts Without Money ("Regali Senza Monetaâ€) initiative organised by the ManaMana' association in collaboration with the local San Salvario development agency and about fifteen other local associations. It will all take place this Sunday from 10am to 6pm in Piazza Madama Cristina, Turin, Italy.
Even though there are now a huge number of ideas on how to best face the economic crisis, this initiative is of another level altogether, as the event goes beyond the narrow idea of barter and promotes the concept of a real exchange. Scheduled immediately after the Christmas holidays, the initiative provides people with an opportunity to free themselves of less wanted gifts, bringing them to the market and putting them back in circulation. "Our market is not a real market,†explains Filippo Dionisio, President of ManaMana' – in the sense that money is banned. We want to go beyond the commercial concept of barter, which is often seen as a precursor to money, and to affirm instead the value of exchange, where such exchange can also be immaterial and cover connections and relationships between people.†That's why the "SenzaMoneta†event should be seen first of all as a meeting between people, where goods, products and also knowledge can be exchanged without any money passing hands, thereby also limiting any possible waste.
How does it work – Those wanting to particpate in the event have to bring something that can be exchanged, which can also include a skill or a knowledge service. Stalls are available and these can be booked by sending a mail to senzamoneta(at)manamana.it. "During recent SenzaMoneta events that we organised in the city,†continues Donisie, "we have seen some really fun things: dinner invitations in exchange for objects, or a live one-hour long music performance in exchange for a one hour plumber intervention. The whole idea is to go beyond the idea of the financial value of things, but rather exchange them with whatever our free immagination can come up with.â€
Objects and services – On the covered Madama Cristina market, you can also find a range of services, such as the Bicycle Office, where you can get small bike repairs done, an initiative devoted to the recycling and reuse of PC's, a special exchange zone for children, a Creative Commons based music exchange, as well as stalls with zero-kilometre food such as polenta and hot wine. "Our objective,†concludes the event organiser, "is to provide more space to people's time and to demonstrate that one can do many things without adhering to a logic of 'consumption at all costs' and without thinking about money.â€
The market will take place this Sunday from 10am to 6pm in Piazza Madama Cristina, Turin, Italy. For more information: www.manamana.it
Putting People First: "A Creative Commons inspired barter market in Turin, Italyâ€
A show room to recycle unwanted gifts
Exchange, barter and 'do-it-yourself' make you save money, but not just that. "When you are in a situation where you can't use money,†explains Daniela Calisi of the ManaMana' association, "you have to put yourself at stake, relate to the other and create a connection with him or her.†Therefore, the exchange is both an invitation to more enlightened consumption, but also a social opportunity to create connections with other city inhabitants. That's at least the idea behind the SenzaMoneta markets that ManaMana organises every 3-4 months in the city.
During the remainder of the year, the no-cost supporters can also find tools online for exchange and barter.
Interesting proposals and offers can be found on www.bakeca.it, in the section "varie-regali-baratto†("various gifts and barterâ€), or one can become a member of the group Freecycle, a platform dedicated to all those who prefer to recycle an object, rather than throw it away. These sites cover everything, from a piano seat to an old door, as long as they are in good condition. Be aware though that all things on offer on the Freecycle site are available for free.
Other interesting solutions, mostly connected to clothing exchange, are the so-called "swapping partiesâ€, which are not just about meeting people and having fun, but also about exchanging and bartering clothes and accessories, events that often taken place when the seasons are about to change. So if you want to completely redo your wardrobe without spending money, the only thing you have to do is organise such a party, as Anna and Genny Colombotto Rosso have been doing for some time now in Turin. You can find valuable suggestions on the greenMe site under "consumare†and "riciclo e riusoâ€.
The swapping parties tend to be organised by and for women, without garments for men, even though these could provide some interesing gift ideas. Often the parties come with a small buffet that – always in the same spirit – are based on people bringing some food from their homes. What is crucial is that participants bring along some cleanly washed clothing in good condition. Also important is to have a space in the party home where the clothing can be shown, possibly organised by size, so that active participation is guaranteed. Finally, to create a smooth process, it is good to have some kind of rule on who can start. Once the garment has been fitted and chosen, it is removed from the "show roomâ€. Whatever is not exchanged at the end of the party, is donated to a used clothing outlet or a non profit organisation, such as the San Vincenzo of Via Nizza, where they can make good use of such garments and assure their longer life.
And for those who can't wait for the next swapping party, there is always the Internet. Check swapstyle and barattopoli.å

EY Eurozone forecast: Spring 2015
EY Eurozone forecast: outlook for financial services
Welcome to the Spring 2015 edition of the EY Eurozone forecast: outlook for financial services.
"Over and above the standard macroeconomic drivers, there are two recent developments that will have a significant impact on Eurozone financial services. The first is the commencement of the Quantitative Easing (QE) program. The second longer term consideration is the EU's progress toward Capital Markets Union (CMU) and the long-term change in how Europe funds its businesses."Andy Baldwin
EMEIA Financial Services Leader
Read Andy's Forecast Overview here
Our Spring 2015 outlook for financial services sees cheaper energy and quantitative easing (QE) aiding the Eurozone recovery this year. However, for financial services the medium term outlook is less positive for some.
Banking outlook
As the effects of QE and the economic boost from cheaper energy filter through, we expect modest rises in consumer credit and mortgage loans. Business lending should also see a rise after three years of contraction. However the question remains as to whether this is enough to support banks in the longer term and offset ongoing Eurozone confidence concerns around unemployment and pensions. Read the full banking viewpoint from Marie-Laure Delarue, EMEIA Banking and Capital Markets Leader.
Insurance outlook
Life insurers in particular are facing a period of limited profitability as a result of declining bond yields and the rising cost of regulatory compliance. Insurers are re-risking portfolios to try and mitigate the impact of low yields, shifting toward corporate credit, commercial real estate and infrastructure investment. Read the full insurance viewpoint from Andreas Freiling, EMEIA Insurance Leader.
Wealth and asset management outlook
Wealth and asset managers stand to gain from QE, with significant increases in assets under management expected in 2015. However, against a backdrop of an aging population with inadequate retirement provision the pension crisis still looms. A strong and sustainable wealth and asset management industry will be vital, but will the EU also be bold enough to legislate and make saving for retirement compulsory? Read the full wealth and asset management viewpoint viewpoint from Roy Stockell, EMEIA Wealth and Asset Management Leader.
Andy Baldwin
EMEIA Financial Services Leader
Looking at the usual drivers of the forecast, our latest outlook for the Eurozone gives more grounds for optimism than we have had for some time. Falling fuel costs are contributing to "good" deflation, GDP growth is picking up and real household incomes are rising at their fastest since 2001. While divergences in economic performance will continue at a country level, signs are emerging that governments are pushing through much needed supply side reforms; albeit not at the pace the EU commission would like.
To a large extent, the same applies for the financial services-specific outlook. Post-AQR restructuring and reshaping is beginning in the banking sector, and Eurozone banks look better placed to meet rising demand for credit. Insurers are set to experience higher demand as the economy picks up – and assets under management (AUM) in wealth and asset management are rising strongly.
Granted, there are some clouds on the horizon that can't be ignored. As we go to press, negotiations between the EU and Syriza have once again become fraught raising the possibility of a "Grexit." Perhaps most worrying is the rhetoric from both sides appears to suggest that neither feels this is the doomsday scenario it once was – driven either by negotiating strategy or a comprehensive contingency and break-up plan being in place. One suspects it's the former not the latter. It remains vital that an orderly way forward is agreed before the bailout terms expire in June. The situation in Ukraine also remains a nagging concern should there be any further military or economic escalation. And, depending on its outcome, the UK general election in May could trigger a destabilizing referendum on UK membership.
Over and above the standard macroeconomic drivers, there are two recent developments that will have a significant impact on Eurozone financial services. The first is the commencement of the Quantitative Easing (QE) program. The second longer term consideration is the EU's progress toward Capital Markets Union (CMU) and the long-term change in how Europe funds its businesses.
With QE, there are some interesting insights learnt from the US and UK's experience in recent years. Monetary expansion alongside interest rate reduction led to currency depreciation and a rise in investment in other asset classes – and equities in particular. We are seeing something similar now across the Eurozone. With Government borrowing costs falling and yields on shorter-maturity German bonds recently turning negative, there are growing signs of liquidity returning to the system.
However, further parallels are perhaps harder to draw. In the UK, QE and low interest rates drove saving lower and brought annuity rates down – triggering a dramatic liberalization of the country's pensions system and a shift in insurer operating models. Such impacts may be more muted in the Eurozone because of the higher degree of state involvement in pensions. The UK also saw a search for yield which triggered significant growth in alternative assets such as property and alternative finance. Again, it is too early to tell whether this could happen in the Eurozone and the ECB will be watching the developments of any asset bubbles closely.
As QE ramps up over the next few years, the date set for CMU, 2019, may look a long way off. However, if Lord Hill can deliver the foundations of reform in that timeframe, the Eurozone and broader EU might benefit from a more integrated CMU just as the ECB's QE program winds down.
At present, regulatory differences coupled with different market practices and behaviors combine to fragment what could and should be a major single capital market across the EU. The initial focus on creating more diversity in credit supply is to be welcomed. Promoting securitization markets, raising equity and debt should increase access to finance alongside traditional bank lending to support jobs and growth; the key focus for the current EU commission. The recent law creating European Long-Term Investment Funds (ELTIFs) is a step in the right direction. The CMU should also present new, additional revenue opportunities for the broader banking sector alongside greater investment opportunities for institutional investors.
In parallel to the creation of the CMU we also see alternative funding options expanding across Europe, demonstrating investor and SME appetite for new models. Recent research by Cambridge University and EY showed that the European online alterative finance market – including equity-based crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending – grew by 144% last year. Peer-to-peer business lending in particular grew at pace, by more than 250% across all the main markets. Based on the average growth rates between 2012 and 2014, the European online alternative finance market outside of the UK is likely to exceed €1,300m in 2015.
So as spring arrives, the economic conditions in the Eurozone appear to be improving. The hope is that this year Europe, driven by QE and export growth, will reach the sunny uplands of sustainable economic recovery. However, achieving that will depend on how "Grexit", Ukraine and "Brexit" ultimately play out.×

Markets Leader
Cautious Optimism
As the forecast points out, the Eurozone's macroeconomic prospects look to have improved since the last quarter of 2014, as the effects of QE and the economic boost from cheaper energy filter through.
Thanks to the work done ahead of the AQR and Comprehensive Assessment, the Eurozone's banks are now better capitalized, and should be able to meet the rising demand for both consumer and business lending that seems likely to come on the back of this higher economic growth. As a result, modest rises in consumer credit and mortgage loans are expected this year, and business lending should see a rise after three years of contraction.
Recovery in lending activity and confidence in the Eurozone banking system may be a breath of fresh air but the question remains; is it enough to support banks in the longer term and offset ongoing Eurozone confidence concerns around unemployment and pensions? We should also remember that the escalation in QE could affect different parts of the industry in very different ways.
Retail and commercial banks are now in better shape to lend, but the flipside of QE will be a squeeze on net interest margins (NIMs). So rising lending volumes will not necessarily translate into higher revenues. Similarly, banks that have not solved their structural problems may not feel any real benefit. Whereas, investment banks will benefit from higher levels of business as more Eurozone corporates turn to the capital markets for funding, and from increased trading volumes as investors seek higher yields by buying corporate rather than sovereign bonds. And European banks with wealth management arms should also feel the benefit from the strong stock market rises this year which may help to mitigate the potential downside that we expect to see in this equation.
Overall, while demand for lending might finally be increasing, it's too early to claim that the good times have returned. It will also be interesting to watch how the early adoption of the EU's Bank Resolution and Recovery Directive (BRRD) by Austria to unwind "bad bank" Heta Asset Resolution plays out. German and Italian banks in particular have exposure to Heta, and the reaction of the market and these banks to BRRD in practice could set the tone for future cross-border resolution.×

Time to adapt
With Eurozone bond yields declining in the wake of the ECB's dramatic escalation of QE, the pressures on life insurers' profitability that we noted in our last forecast are set to continue. The effect on insurers is greatest in those countries with high levels of classical guarantee-based life insurance, such as Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and France.
Without QE, the expectation was that the upturn in euro interest rates would happen around 2018. With QE, the anticipated time frame for an uptick in rates has been pushed back to 2019-2020 — by which time many insurers will have adapted their investment approaches and product offerings to the new environment.
Indeed, this adaptation is already under way. Most Eurozone insurers have limited exposure to equities, meaning they have reaped relatively little benefit to date from the recent strong development of Europe's equity markets. In Germany, for example, major insurers only have 7%–8% of their investments in equities, despite being able to hold up to 35%.
Life insurers currently have substantial funds available for investment, and given their need for higher yields to fund policyholders' bonuses and new business acquisition, their share of investments into equities is set to keep rising. A further aspect of this search for yields to drive better performance is higher investment in "riskier" areas like infrastructure and private equity. However, the long-term profitability of life insurers is worrying low. Slow increases in rates and inflation would be good news in the medium and long term, but a major risk is a sharp rise of inflation and short-term interest rates which could create a "life insurance run" that would be highly detrimental for the industry.
Meanwhile, general insurers are continuing to benefit from the overall decline in the frequency and severity of natural disasters in Europe in the past couple of years. The dampening effect on claims is being sustained, at least for the time being.
Looking across the insurance industry as a whole, the focus in the regulatory domain has remained very much on Solvency II ahead of its January 2016 start date. Also coming up on the horizon are IFRS 4 and IFRS 9, which will be large and costly undertakings for the industry with significant impacts on profitability between now and 2020. There is also an ongoing shift in in both regulatory and marketing terms, toward greater focus on customer conduct and interactions with clients.
Given these trends, both life and non-life companies are looking closely at how they go to market with their customers, and examining how they can meet regulatory requirements while also using behavioral insights to increase sales and manage pricing more effectively. All of this is leading to a growing focus on customer data management and analytics as potential sources of better compliance, control and competitive advantage.×

Education, legislation — or both?
The EU needs to take the lead by legislating to tackle Europe's pension crisis
The ECB's QE program has accelerated the rise in Eurozone AUM, driven especially by growth in bond and equity funds. However, this short-term boost of 25% growth by 2016 masks some longer-term concerns, as Europe's time bomb of inadequate pension provision continues to tick away.
The fact is that AUM is rising not because Europe is attracting new money, but because its markets and asset values — fuelled by QE — are rising. This is happening against the background of an aging population whose overall retirement provision is woefully inadequate.
And QE is potentially making this situation worse. By driving up short-term returns, it's helping the wealth industry make already wealthy people even richer. But it's simultaneously widening the gap between the haves and have-nots — increasing the risk that a huge swathe of the population will become disenfranchised, and too costly for asset managers to service with long-term savings products.
Widespread take-up of such products is urgently needed. In countries such as the Netherlands, Germany and the UK, the switch from defined benefit to defined contribution pension schemes has caught out tail-end baby-boomers, giving them insufficient time to shift savings. In more socialist-minded societies such as Greece, Italy and Spain, the fond expectation that the state will provide is coming up against the harsh reality of empty government coffers.
As Europe ponders how to close its yawning pension gap, a strong and sustainable wealth and asset management industry will be vital. But here too there are some nagging worries. True, the AQR caused barely a ripple, and regulators' concerns over systemic risk seem overstated. However, as investment continues to diversify in search of yields, one clear area of risk is around liquidity — particularly where supposedly liquid ETFs are investing in illiquid funds.
Given all this, how can Europe forestall a long-term pension crisis? Looking at territories that have legislated for compulsory superannuation, such as Chile and Australia, it's clear that — while education is certainly a key component — without legislation, the levels of savings required would never have been achieved. In Europe, the EU has a significant role to play in supporting national governments with implementation of compulsory pension savings initiatives.
So the question is: will the EU risk making an unpopular choice and take the plunge to legislate to make saving for retirement compulsory?×

NEWPORT CITY – Trish Sears, CEO of the Newport City Renaissance Corporation (NCRC), is full of energy and always looking for ways to make her beloved city even better. That's why the staff at the Newport Daily Express named her Citizen of the Year.
"I'm really humbled," said Sears, upon hearing of her award.
DERBY – Local Walmart proponents are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel on getting their very own big box store.
"Everything is squared away," said Sen. Robert Starr of North Troy.Â
Walmart and property owner Jeff Davis of Burlington are happy, Starr said.
Starr is organizing a formal announcement for sometime in early to mid-January. Local and state officials will take part in the announcement, which will most likely take place on the Newport-Derby line.
"Hopefully, it will keep money from going to New Hampshire," Starr said.
NEWPORT - Enhanced driver's licenses (EDL) for border crossing are now available in Newport Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), officials announced Thursday. Local and State officials alike are excited about it.
NEWPORT CITY – Sometimes writing on city sidewalks isn't child's play. That's the message the court sent Diane Peel, Jack Rogers and Tom Farrow when it ordered them to pay a fine of $50 apiece for doing just that.
Friday morning, Lamoille County Assistant Judge Karen Bradley handed down the fines.
During an interview last summer, Peel said she wrote things like: "Big Corporations don't care about your health, buy local," "Support Community Gardens," "It's your town, take control," and "What would you like to see on Main Street?" with an arrow pointing to an empty storefront.
JAY–While the weather outside was frightful, the Falcons were so delightful, firing home eleven goals en route to a 11-0 holiday thrashing of the woeful Burlington Seahorses.
"We had a lot of fun out there tonight," said coach Andrew Roy. "Our upperclassmen played well as did our younger guys, who are finding ways to help out in our offense."
The fun got started right off the bat, errr, uh $200.00 composite stick.
Kody Halikas scored the first of his three first-period goals 1:14 into the game, sniping home a low shot past Stephanie Landry from the slot.
JAY–The North Country girls hockey team continued their pattern of disorganized play in the first period, which eventually led to their downfall, as they lost 3-1 to the Harwood Highlanders on Saturday night.
"Maybe the holiday's started early," quipped head coach Claude Paul. "I don't know what it was, but we couldn't seem to do anything right."
The night started off with starting goalie Mikaella Doran sitting on the bench due to illness, so that opened the door for junior Brianna Bocelli to make her first start of the season.
The Highlanders would not be kind to her.
CRAFTSBURY–Christmas came early to the Craftsbury Academy, complete with a visit from Bill "Santa Claus" Lee, as both the boy's and the girl's teams won their respective divisions of the Stephen Willey Memorial Tournament on Saturday.
ORLEANS–Drew Gallup had 16 points, and three other Rangers tied with 8 as Lake Region rolled over Peoples Academy 58-29 on Thursday.
The boys set the stage early, outscoring the Wolves 19-2 in the first quarter.
Gallup, Caleb Prue and Dennis Newland each had four points in the opening frame.
From there the points kept on coming.
Fourteen in the second, seventeen in the third, and finally eight in the fourth to wrap things up.
Every member of the team, save for one got in the scorebook on Thursday, making the win a very dominating team effort.
NEWPORT–Anna Bingham led all scorers with fifteen points and the North Country defense held the Cougars to single digits in all four quarters, as the Falcons rolled over Mount Mansfield 54-23.
"I think we played really well together today," said senior Michaela Stanley. "We made a lot of passes on offense and on defense our pressure was intense."
It was evident form the tip-off that North Country was going to have an easy time of it.
Bingham opened the scoring, followed by four points from Desiree Coffin and two form Britni Jewer before the Cougars' Rebecca Rapacz got MMU on the board.
DERBY - Local retailers Mr. O's and Wright's Enterprises have seen an increase in sales of firearms including assault weapons after the horrific rampage in Newtown, CT, last week.
Nationwide, the surge in sales culminates a year in which the FBI ran 16.8 million background checks for gun buyers, the most ever. Sales skyrocketed the Friday following the November 6 election, breaking all-time records and crashing the FBI's NICS background check system.
Now, following the shooting of 20 school children and 6 adults, gun sales of all types are again spiking.

Women forms about 50% of the human race. It is well known that poverty, hunger and malnutrition are comparatively more among coastal fisher folk. Coastal fisheries being a common property resource, stake holders in the upper strata with better equipments and facilities are empowered to earn higher income which is further widening the gap between the rich and poor.

Generally a very strong recipe, except that there is no way that I would include the ground anise, as it would become way too medicinal tasting. I mixed sri ra cha sauce into the mayonnaise for some added zing, and, on the opposite end of the taste spectrum, I served plain iceberg lettuce for some in our crowd who prefer more basic flavors. Also, be aware that when the chicken comes off the grill it tastes too salty, but when it's in the sandwich it's correctly seasoned. This was mentioned in another review when the chicken was not used as a sandwich. This is a terrific recipe to use as a different backyard barbecue meal! (I highly recommend eskimo pies for dessert.)flag if inappropriate
I've made this for years now. Amazing. Restaurant quality. Hubby and I just went out for vietnamese and ordered a bahn mi. Hands down, this recipe wins. I cut back on the Chinese 5 spice and did not do the star anise. Otherwise followed recipe.flag if inappropriate
I have made this many times. Awesome every time! Few changes I make are to use thin sliced chicken breasts, pickled jalapenos and anise seed. Really good, really complex flavors!flag if inappropriate
Cut the bottom half of the bread thicker then the top so when it is hollowed out it holds all the ingredients. Grill the thighs without skin and slice as soon as cool enough to handle. Save the juices to pour over sandwich. Place the sandwich on a sheet of foil and wrap tightly to hold everything together. Basically this is street food so honor it in that fashion. Slice the peppers thinly and use sparingly if you are not seeding them. Ciao, Max Stanley, The Bistro of Burden.flag if inappropriate
This was wonderful and so easy. We just did it as chicken thighs, which took an extra 2-3 minutes in the broiler. I served it with a rice noodle salad. Making it again tonight!flag if inappropriate
I prepared this chicken last night to serve as an entree alongside a salad dressed with peanut lime vinaigrette and jasmine rice. Perhaps the conrastof flavors works better in the sandwich, but I found the marinade was much too salty. had my doubts when using light soy sauce + fish sauce + oyster suace that that would be the case, but the reviews did not mention saltiness so I put my faith in others who have tried this. I much prefer the Grilled Five Spice Chicken recipe by Mai Pham that's elsewhere here on the Epi site.flag if inappropriate
We loved this -- I marinated the chicken overnight and used red radishes, because I couldn't find daikon. Yummy!flag if inappropriate
Very good sandwich. Easy to make. The flavors are fresh and tasty.flag if inappropriate
I just tried this recipe last night and it turned out very good. I used chicken thighs with bone in, and removed the skin and marinaded for about 3 hours. The chicken came out very moist and flavorful. The Dikon and carrot marinaded for about 3 hours as well and was delicious. I used ciabetta bread, and lightly grilled. Next time I make this I am going to go for a softer bread though. I will definately make this again, it's a keeper!flag if inappropriate
Delicious, fresh, flavorful. I did NOT experience any smell issues with the daikon/carrot slaw... I made it 5 days ahead of time and stored it in the fridge, and there was no smell whatsoever. Sandwiches came together quickly and easily for serving. 1 shallot was plenty for the marinade. This recipe is definitely a keeper!flag if inappropriate

James Halliday 2016 Wine Companion: 97 pts for 2013 Bekkers Syrah.
From the Hickinbotham and Gateway Vineyards; 85% destemmed, 15% whole bunches; 5-day cold soak; wild ferment; basket pressed to French puncheons (40% new). A first class example of McLaren Vale shiraz, with remarkable articulation of black fruits, licorice and bitter chocolate supported and lengthened by positive fine-grained fruit and oak tannins. 97 points James Halliday
Regular Price: $30.00
Special Price: $27.99As low as: $25.00
An example of a master winemaker of Semillon at play with a great vineyard and a great vintage. The expectation was sky high, but easily cleared by this beautiful Semillon, with its gleaming rivulets of polished lemon and honeydew melon, its balance already wondrous, its length impeccable. Drink it tonight or 20 years hence. 97 Points
From one of the leading exponents of Hunter Semillon, the Blonde Maestro himself, Andrew Thomas. Fine, almost pretty style. Bell clear, fresh fruit, mixed citrus and a firm spine of acidity. Very subtle chalkiness, but clarity is the thing, and a little generosity. Terrific. 95+ Points
Regular readers will no doubt be aware that I've got a lot of time for Andrew Thomas' Braemore Semillon. This is so delicious on release that it's almost possible to forget its age-worthiness. It's intensely, limey – almost kaffir lime – with zippy lemon and pebbly minerality. A hint of salinity and a suggestion of spice. Unwavering focus, a juicy core of flavour and excellent extension. Will offer much pleasure now and later. 96 Points
Winemaker Andrew Thomas reckons this is as good a semillon as he's ever produced. No doubt it's a cracker, with an intensity of flavour that is obvious from the first sip — lemon zest and lime that has wonderful concentration and length. It's made to go the long haul — it will be stunning in six or seven years — but if you like the zesty bite of young semillons, then this has it in spades. Superb.
Regular Price: $22.00

Rocky soils and seven year old vines. Hoddles Creek are probably the leading exponent of this grape in Australia, though that being said, they're also one of the only ones. I think this is the first Pinot Blanc that's not in their higher priced 1er range.
Pear and raw almonds, whiff of struck match, though its fair to say this is a lot more about texture and shape, than flavour and colours. Feels great. Milky and chalky, pure acidity, very savoury and stony too, with a long powdery finish laced with dried herbs and lemon peel.
Amazing quality / price ratio on offer here. 94+ points Winefront.com.au
Regular Price: $23.00
Special Price: $21.99As low as: $20.00
Distinct Aussie bushwalk scents of earth, eucalyptus, wet leaves, sweet paperbark bark. There's dark berries and plum going on, but it's that savoury lift that defines the wine. Medium weight, glossy in texture, crisp acidity lending a freshness as the sweet slick of red-black fruit glides across the palate. There's leafy notes through the wine, light sandy tannins, and it finishes with a little saline character. All up, it's a bright, flavoursome wine, with fine structure; an easy wine to come at and drink or cellar. Bewdy. "93 points Winefront.com.au

Rating 96 points James Halliday's wine tasting note
Handpicked, pressed straight to barrel, wild yeast fermented in French oak (25% new), partial mlf, not fined or filtered. Gleaming straw green; follows in the footsteps of the two prior vintages, lifting sauvignon blanc way out of the ruck, yielding nothing to the Adelaide Hills or Margaret River, demanding you drink it without moderation; it is at once luscious, yet fine, filling the senses with its array of perfectly ripened and formed fruit, its sauvignon blanc DNA largely irrelevant. Shades of Didier Dageneau. 96 points James Halliday
Regular Price: $27.00
Special Price: $24.99As low as: $23.99
It's not just a wine of class it's a wine of compelling drinking. Perfume is a little shy but pretty with frangipani floral notes, wet slate, ginger and lemongrass spice. The palate is zingy and tingly with crispy, fine acid and lacy with tangy, limey fruit flavours. In a high drinkability zone right now, the finish is mouthwatering and impressively long.
It's a wine that dances across the palate, fresh, vibrant, juicy yet never feels broad or freewheeling. So very fine to drink.
Brilliant release." 95+ points Mike Bennie Winefront.com.au
Regular Price: $24.00
Special Price: $22.50As low as: $21.00
Aromatically lifted floral notes of Jasmine flower are followed by fresh lime and lemon blossom intensity. On the palate the citrus characters of lemon and lime create a core of intense flavour supported by an enduring mineral line. Further notes of freshly cut green apple indicate a pure expression of Riesling, and one that showcases the flavours typical to Eden Valley.Learn More
Regular Price: $24.00
Special Price: $23.50As low as: $23.00
Deep crimson in colour this wine bursts out of the glass with berry compote, accentuated by lifted violets and dried herbs. The palate is lively, with mid-weight intensity carrying notes of fresh strawberries and caramel brittle. Intriguing undertones of spice and herb add complexity to a wine that is ready to drink now, and can be enjoyed over the next five yearsLearn More
Regular Price: $35.00
Special Price: $33.50As low as: $32.50
from Me - This is stunning, its a highly aromatic, pretty, yet very textural wine. An intensely floral bouquet with citrus, orange blossom, honey and hazelnut, leads to a beautifully intense, zesty palate of yellow and white fruits, citrus, unripe peaches and a tangy spicy edge. The nose alone is worth the entry fee, but the palate does not disappoint. ......
from some other bloke - "54 dozen made with no subtractions and no additions, aside a touch of sulphur
It's a wilder, more textural style of Chardonnay and none the worse for that. Apples dusted with pepper, pickled ginger, white peach and maybe a whiff of honey. Light to medium bodied, kind of tangy and edgy, light powdery texture runs the length of the palate, and then ruby red grapefruit and spice punctuates the finish. Don't serve it cold, and keep an open mind. Fascinating wine: the longer I spent with it, the more I liked it." Gary Walsh 93 points Winefront.com.au

Will Restasis Eye Drops Increase Your Chance of Having a Successful Surgery?
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to determine whether reducing inflammation of the surface of the eye with topical Restasis after glaucoma surgery will improve surgical outcomes and increase patient comfort.
Drug: Restasis
Drug: Endura (artificial tears)
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Influence of Post-Operative Cyclosporine 0.05% (Restasis) on the Success of Glaucoma Filtering Surgery
- intraocular pressure [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- ocular inflammation [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|March 2004
|Study Completion Date:
|November 2007
|Primary Completion Date:
|June 2005 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: 1
Patients received restasis eyedrops during 6 month post-operative period
Drug: Restasis
1 drop in study eye twice a day X 6 months
Other Name: Restasis
Placebo Comparator: 2
Patients receive artificial tears (Endura) during 6 month post-operative period
Drug: Endura (artificial tears)
1 drop in study eye twice a day X 6 months
Other Name: Endura
Detailed Description:
Continued use of glaucoma drops can alter the outer surface of the eye and result in swelling and irritation, changing the structure of the eye. This structural change has been found to be a significant risk factor for the failure of glaucoma surgery. A comparison of how well patients do after glaucoma surgery depending on whether they use Restasis (the only prescription medication approved by the FDA for treating dry eye) or artificial tears (which can be purchased without a prescription) for 6 months following their surgery.
