What a misnomer for JOY. I have not had any joy since I bought this stock. Is there an iota of hope that JOY will go up before next earnings. Nothing I have read that indicates a rebound is foreseeable in the near future. Please feel free to disagree with me because I am in JOY up to my neck.
in my opinion, this is dead money for awhile, at least a year, with more potential dwonside. perhpas sell and buy some potential uptrend stocks like a Ctrp or even Fb for some small gains then get back into joy. jmho
I've own Joy of the last several years. I get in and out as I see fit. I started too build a position around 56 and have bought down to where we are today. Keep in mind it is a very lightly traded stock and is heavily manipulated. I've seen this stock act like the biggest dog and then within a week it's up 20 pecent. The stock will eventually get back into the 60's and onve the story changes be back in the high 70's lower 80's. It is not a bad stock to have your money in. When this stock turns in will move really fast. Just my thoughts
Sentiment: Buy

Skill Level Beginner
In this movie we are going to learn about Ripple Edits and Roll Edits. They are actually two different types of trimming the edge of a clip to make sure that your show actually is paced perfectly. For instance, let's take a look at these first two shots. We have a shot of the person turning on light switch, and then the light turns on. As you see, that would be pretty boring.
What we want to have happen is we want to see the light get flicked on, and as soon as the switch clicks, I want to cut to the light and see the light turn on, which means I need to trim the tail of this clip and the head of this clip in. If you notice we trimmed clips before, we learned how to do that by making clips longer and shorter, and if I hover my mouse over the edge of the clip, it points to the direction of the clip I want to shorten, and I could just drag this all the way to the point where we see the light get turned on and then just let go and then I have this big gap, and then I am going to go ahead and remove the gap.
I could right-click and Ripple Delete, and then I'll do the same thing here, and right before the light comes on, there we go. I have another gap and right-click and Ripple Delete, and now we have perfect timing. That works just great, but it's not very fast. So let's go ahead and undo several steps back to where we were at the very beginning. There we go! I think I hit undo four times and there we have our lousy timing. So instead of using this traditional red trim tool, I can go over here, and again, we are going to go to tooltips, and you see there is an option for a Ripple Edit tool.
Now if you notice the color has changed, and if I go ahead and I grab the light switch, and I make it shorter, just to where he flicks the switch, I can let go. But do you notice how the program window looks a little different? Before we just saw the last frame of the first clip, what we're seeing now is not only the last frame of the first clip, but on the right side we are seeing what it's going to cut to assuming the gap isn't there. As soon as I let go of my mouse, not only does it shorten the clip, it closes the gap.
So instead of doing it in two steps where I shorten it and then I had to remove the gap, I can do it one. I can do the same thing the other way around. Let me go ahead and deselect this and nothing is selected, and if you notice now when I hover my mouse over it, I can click and now I am going to drag to the right. I see this switch at the very end, but I'm going to go ahead and just move it right before the light turns on, and it deletes everything in front and removes the gap. Let's go ahead and play that.
Well, I was a little bit off there and that definitely happens. So what I want to do I want to go ahead and trim a little bit more at the beginning, and I am going to show you a really cool technique so you don't have to step off and step back on. Let me zoom in so you can see it little clear. I am going to hit the plus key a couple of times, and I want to grab the left side, and I don't want to have to click off there. Well, there's a great little keyboard shortcut, and it revolves around the T key. If you hit Ctrl+T, every time I tap the T key you notice that it's toggling between five different states of trim.
We saw the red ones. That's the trim that's going to leave a gap. There is also one where it's on both sides, that's a Roll Edit, and we are going to look at that shortly, and then if I tag it again I actually get the yellow Ripple Delete trim edit, and I can go ahead and grab and pull this to the left just until the switch is clicked and now we go ahead and hit play, and our timing is pretty good. I could go ahead and hit Ctrl+T and really refine this because I think I need to pull it back just a little bit. And if you notice I can pull to the left with the yellow cursor, and it's going to just add media to beginning and push everything down.
It's not going to remove any of the clip on the left. We'll get that just right and look at playback. Perfect! So that's the advantage of using the Ripple Trim tool in Adobe Premiere Pro. Now I also mentioned something called a Roll. So let's go ahead and jump back to see the entire timeline, and I could hit the minus key several times, but instead of that I am going to press the backslash key and that's going to show me my entire timeline.
And if I go over to these clips on the right, and I hit Play, I have one clip that's the fan and that's four seconds long, and I have another clip of these wind turbines and the moon in the background, and it'll be great if they were equal length. I don't want to go do that whole ripple thing, because then I'd be deleting and moving things around. So I am going to go ahead and I'm going to switch from my Ripple tool to my Rolling Edit tool which is the N key. So I click on that, and now if I come over here and click on the edit points and with it clicked I can move my mouse left or right.
You'll notice once again I see the last frame of the first clip, which is the fan, and I see the first frame of the incoming clip which are the wind turbines, and where ever I let go of my mouse is where the cut is going to move to. So it's very easy for me to roll the edit point to make one clip longer and the other clip shorter. Unlike the Ripple Delete where I am changing the duration of my show, with the Roll Edit what I take from one clip I give to the other.
So the total duration of these two clips will always stay the same. And that's a great tool to use when your timing is perfect, but maybe you cut to something a little bit too early or little bit too late, but you don't want to change the duration of your whole show. A really cool trick is if you know exactly where you want that edit to occur, you can simply select the edit point with the Roll tool, position your playhead exactly where the cut should be, perhaps on the musical beat, and simply press the E key for what's called an Extend Edit.
And as you see, the edit automatically moves to the precise location where your playhead was parked. The Extend Edit is one of my favorite tools, and it's easier to remember, because once you have the edit selected you press E for extend.

Learning From a Terrible Interview
Prakash Nagpal was the vice president of products at Sylantro Systems Corp. before his position was eliminated in late 2008. Previously, he was a general manager of products at Covad Communications Group, Inc. He earned his M.B.A. from Cornell University's Johnson School in 2000. He lives in Oakland, Calif. with his wife and two children.
My experience has been that, in a tough job market, what is considered a reasonable interview process is dramatically different from what is considered to be reasonable in a hot job market. I have had my share of companies buying dinner and $200 bottles of wine trying to convince me to join. But I have also had my share of interview questions and events that make me say, "You cannot be serious!" (thank you John McEnroe).
My all-time favorite interview is one that started with the textbook question, 'Tell me a little about some of the accomplishments you are most proud of.' I thought all my homework was going to pay off. I was ready with not one, but many and stepped from one to the next with practiced ease. One such accomplishment I told of is coming to this country with very little money to go to graduate school. I started my first day visiting every professor and every department on campus to look for teaching assistant jobs, research assistant positions or other campus jobs that would help me pay my way. I landed a full scholarship within four days of arriving in the U.S. and graduated with a 3.86 GPA. The interviewer cut me off, saying 'Well that is every immigrant's story, so you worked hard, big deal.' I was not quite sure how to respond, and muddled through the next few minutes, but the conversation only got worse.
The next set of comments and questions left me even more bewildered. 'What do you think about the conflict between these two countries [which I shall leave anonymous] – they are on the brink of ruin. If they did have a war who do you think would win?' I was reeling. My mind was racing to answer the question. I responded with, 'Well I am not quite sure that the countries will actually go to war because they both realize that war will be futile…' but I was cut off.
'Let me tell you why one of the countries will win…' the interviewer replied. I was trying desperately trying to get back to talking about the job. But it still only got worse — I was told that I did not have experience in the specific domain, despite the fact that the interviewer had been briefed about my background by a recruiter and had my resume in front of him! About 30 minutes into the torture, I stood up and said, 'Well I am not sure that I can offer what you are looking for in this position. I do not think that this would be a fit on both sides. I sincerely appreciate your time. I feel that it would be unfair to you, if I used any more of your time knowing full well that the position is not a fit.' I shook hands and left.
I look back at this and wonder — what could I have done differently? I believe that every such incident is a learning opportunity. I know I learned a lot about myself and how to better handle absolute disasters with potential customers.

"RE: Wide-area AF assist"
Gray_star:Thanks so much for being so patient with your full explanation. The result boils down to: for AF assist with the SB-600, use AF-S focus mode and single point AF-area mode. Drum the shutter release.This also suggests that in continuous shutter release, the subject might move out of focus, becasue the focus locked at the hal-press leading to the (sequence of ) shots (if the subject does that in 1/6 second, or multiples of that), and the images will be out of focus. But that's the tradeoff (price) for using the SB-600 AF assist. Perhaps that's why Stan in St. Petersburg uses single frame shutter release for ballet. (But he says that professional dancers have very predictable trajectories, more so than amateurs, with which I am dealing.)D-7000 behavior, SB-600 NOT mounted:() Verifed: when in AF-S focus mode, allows only AF area modes S or Auto;(b) (expected) when in AF-C focus mode, then AF-C becomes AF-S or AF-A. If it becomes AF-S, then we expect that only the single point AF area mode is active. But if SF-C becomes AF-A, then we would expect that the selected AF area mode (such a 9-pt) would apply Right? (But if the SB-600 is mounted, we expect that AF-C focus mode would remain in AF-S focus mode, so there is no point in selecting AF-C, just select AF-S -- as you have said several times.)I have not yet compared the situation with the SB-600 mounted. I'll do that shortly.I have also found that using these minimal modes appear to make the camera focus faster. Less computing load.I just reviewed the related material in Darell Young's book. Even he says that this subject is confusing. What he says is, of course, consistent with what you say, and I did not find that he documents the undocumented point to which you referred above (I checked for that days ago).

Dan Leach
Born and raised in one of the nation's most important cities, Detroit, Dan Leach has always had a very deep connection to the city and teams he grew up loving and rooting for. Even while working in TV and Radio away from the Motor City, his love for his hometown and its great teams never wavered. Rumors of him coming out of the womb signing "Forward Down The Field" lead to epic trips to Lions and Michigan football games with his grandpa and father starting at age two. There his bond and love of sports was born.
A graduate and classmate of Charlie Batch and Earl Boykins at Eastern Michigan University , he was often seen cracking Boykins up as he diagramed plays in one of the greatest college courses ever assembled, "Theory of Basketball 101." Dan then was lucky enough to be baptized in broadcasting as an intern with Dan "Touchdown Detroit Lions" Miller at Fox 2. Stops in Costa Rica (some of the most beautiful women in the world), Atlanta, and Florida followed.
He comes back home to join 97.1 The Ticket after hosting nationally syndicated shows on Sports Byline USA and Sirius Satellite Radio. Dan has also called football and basketball play-by-play on radio and TV, most recently on the NAFL game of the week on CAMTV.
An avid hot air balloon enthusiast, huge Pearl Jam fan, and always willing to look at both sides of an argument or story, Dan could not be happier to be joining the great team at 97.1 The Ticket. He looks forward to sparking hearty debate, entertaining the great people of Michigan, and making the world a better place one listener at a time.

Drivetrain: Spunky 120-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder is complemented by a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder "EcoBoost" for potential fuel savings; 1.6-liter EcoBoost with 173 horsepower in the grin-inducing ST; the only way to get an automatic transmission is with the base engine.
Who would have bet that Ford would ever offer not just one but two different turbocharged engines in its smallest car? For 2014, the regular 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 120 horsepower was joined by two optional turbocharged powerplants. The first was Ford's global 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder, which was the first three-cylinder sold in North America in decades. With 123 horsepower, it doesn't beat the base car by much, but it's the 148 pound-feet of torque that makes the difference. The official fuel-economy numbers show 31 mpg in the city and 43 on the highway, significant improvements over the 27/37 in the base model. Ford's EcoBoost strategy means the 1.0 costs an extra $1,000. Both engines share the same five-speed manual transmission, but there isn't an automatic option for the EcoBoost. At the other end of the spectrum, the Fiesta ST delivers more of the thrills and smiles generated by its larger Focus ST cousin. It uses the 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder found in the Escape tall wagon, only with more juice for a total of 197 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. The ST is the only Fiesta to boast a six-speed manual transmission, which mixes nicely with the sport-tuned suspension, 17-inch wheels with performance tires, four-wheel disc brakes and all kinds of electronic assists. The ST sits at the top of the Fiesta hierarchy with unique seats, body kit and colors to differentiate its hatchback silhouette. The standard content continues with features such as air conditioning, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, power locks and mirrors, four-speaker sound system, hands-free capless fuel filler plus a cabin filled with airbags. For 2016, Ford's third-generation SYNC info-tainment system will be available as an option for most trims, and includes a 6.5-inch touch screen.

I called Affordable Seating excessively to get information about my order. However, recently Affordable Seating has not been calling me back or answering my constant phone calls. So far, I have not received any reliable information on the status of my order. Being given excuse after excuse for several weeks is irritating! It is extremely frustrating to have to watch as I lose thousands of dollars every day while trying to track my order. This is very irresponsible and immature of Affordable Seating to be handling my situation this way. Even though I had been given the tracking number from a representative by the name of John, it was invalid when i input it into the RoadRunner website. Being unable to rely on Affordable Seating to provide me with reliable information, I called RoadRunner the truck company they told me would have more information on their order. I was told that they had never received my order! How is this even possible given the amount of extra time I have allowed this to go on for?
Till today, i still have not received my order and am having to pay ANOTHER $1,000.00 (have paid $2,000.00 already) for the tables and chairs that I had to rent due to their incompetence.

Viewer Comments: Tuberculosis - Diagnosis
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Tuberculosis:
Comment from: dikky, 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: October 15
I had suffered from tuberculosis 2 years back and I had taken medicine in the 1st stage and it was cured. Recently I checked with x-ray, and doctor told one mark is there.
Comment from: Newly diagnosed, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: September 22
I had breast surgery two months ago. One month later I had pain and infection in my right breast. I was hospitalized overnight to have infection cleaned out and treated. The tissue was tested for strep and staph with no results. One month later I received a call from my surgeon telling me my tissue tested positive for TB. I was told to go in for blood test, sputum test and chest X-ray. My blood tested positive for TB, but the chest X-ray is clear and sputum test is negative. Thank goodness I am not contagious, but am now I am on 4 medications for maybe one year. I have no idea how I got TB and so far my family has tested negative. I never had any symptoms.
Comment from: jessie, 25-34 (Patient) Published: April 01
I had been diagnosed with TB. Prior to that, I also coughed for two months and had a fever every afternoon with unexplained sweating. At first I thought it was just a simple fever due to extreme weather and stress at work, but it went on for three consecutive months. Little by little, I started losing weight. I'll be having my fifth check-up with my doctor and another X-ray soon.
Comment from: Anonymous, 19-24 Female (Patient) Published: April 10
I am a final year graduate student. I've been coughing for two months and every time I visited the doctor, he used to prescribe antibiotics. Finally, within no time I lost a lot of weight and became so weak that I was unable to stand. An X-ray and blood tests were taken and I was diagnosed with TB. I was then immediately admitted to the hospital for 15days.i
Comment from: 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: February 15
I went to the doctor concerned about a cough I've had for more than three weeks. I'm very exhausted and not at all interested in food. I was coughing so much, I nearly passed out. This was repeated over and over. I had blood tests and X-rays and a TB test. I got a large red spot that felt like there was an egg under my skin. Today, my doctor said that I test positive for tuberculosis.
Comment from: t.c, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: December 13
After my dad got infected by the disease, I had to take his sputum to the labs, and I spilled in my pocket, a year later, I began feeling weak, lost my appetite, a dry cough, with blood stains at times. Went to see my doctor, had an X-ray and sputum test and it was positive. Then I went on treatment for six months.
Comment from: Caroline, Female (Patient) Published: October 17
My diagnosis rests on the sputum test. I have never been treated for TB but was surprised after my first bout with pneumonia. I thought they made a mistake, but no. The 1995 x-ray showed clear lungs so I knew I must have had it since coming to New Zealand. I have struggled with fatigue for years, but I go running 3 times a week and practice yoga once a week. They seem pretty casual about TB here in NZ, and while I wait for the results of the test. I have not been told to isolate myself in any way.
Comment from: Robyn, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: August 16
I have just been told I have had TB but am no longer infected. My doctor was treating me for other respiratory infection and only a ct scan being done for my back produced the evidence of TB. I had night sweats (nothing unusual there as I am in my 60's and female) lost 17kgs and was literally drowning in mucus. I had terrible pain in back and chest headaches and no interest in food whatsoever, very weak and sleeping pretty much all the time. I live in country Australia and after 6 months of putting up with the symptoms stated above went to Sydney to see a doctor who knew what she was talking about and was put on two different antibiotics and steroids for 3 months, but once again for pneumonia and not TB. It seems that this disease is very hard to diagnose, as this doctor also thought it was not TB. Now all my friends and family have to be tested and are not happy about it, but I did not know I was walking around with TB.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
After a phone call and an email or two between a couple different counselors and them playing hardball with me by informing them that they were busy and would have to come in, I finally called and came in. I met with a man by the name of Thomas Virzi who has a PhD in some field. He basically said, when we met that he was heading up this White Plains office but that he was moving down to New Jersey. I should have wondered right then and there, why someone would be relocating but I didn't.
I had been told that Phoenix Executive Group had an established pattern of starting so that a "group of us" would be able to graduate and be ready to hit the market at the same time that the clients budgets became open and available.
I was verbally assured that the kind of contacts that the Phoenix Executive Group had, would make short work of my being out of work. At the very least, I was informed that they had a temporary division where they would find me part-time work until a full time job came about. Then I was informed that the average length of time to get a job averaged somewhere between 4-9 months, especially given the market today, but told not to worry.
I came away from the meeting not feeling all that convinced, but wondering what my prospects were out in the real world. So I decided to forget about them and didn't bother returning Dr. Virzi's calls.
I had received a call/email from my original "counselor" as they like to be labeled and was told that if we wanted to proceed that my wife would need to be present. I was like "wow" they really want both people to commit to this, so how bad can they be as far as rip off artists are concerned?
I was in time to learn a lesson about what it meant to be a client of Phoenix Executive's Group and how low the word ripoff artists could be used in a phrase describing them.
I had spoken to the big cheese, the big boss and he was coming up to close the deal on me but before it could even be done my wife would have to come along as well and have to hear the whole sales pitch.
Basically the very bright, silver tongued individual name Joseph K. told me that I would never be a CIO, that I didn't have that type of background and that the best I could expect if I was lucky was a job as a VP down the road. However with my skillset I was very placeable and once I went through the program I would have no problems.
I was told that in almost all cases, that the fee is reimbursed to the new employee (me) so that really whatever I was shelling out right now, would in essence be refunded to me. It made me believe that their skull and crossbone networking list was so extensive that I was guaranteed a position in short order. Well, I get a cover letter in which I am to be charged an "initial retainer" of $5,310 which had to be put on a credit card because I didn't have the money in the bank, plain and simple. At about this point, I was nervous and pacing outside of the room by myself. Unsure if I did the right thing or not.
On the "Three Year Career Advancement Program with Performance Guarantee" sheet was an additional item that stated that if I were to receive a position and salary of X then I would have to owe them an additional $2,655 dollars. However I would be guaranteed a hiring bonus of $10,000 at the very least. After walking away I thought how excellent I did and what a superb place I am going to be working with and their network of behind the scenes contacts.
So I was to begin. The money was paid to them via credit card and I was assigned a counselor who was most impressive with a Masters Level Degree. I was like "wow". Impressive.
First things first was a redo of my resume which the counselor performed and as a first go round thought it was okay. Needless to say, I posted to all of the job boards by myself, and in a conversation with one of the job boards (totally unaffiliated with PEG) said "your resume tells me nothing" "What dates and times did you do this and for how long". "I can't use this resume like this, click then dead air".
Well that was when the bubble started bursting around PEG. Not only was my resume useless, but what happened is that they fired my initial counselor with whom I had agreed to work with, and was replaced by this very nice older gentleman named Bart. When I called up PEG, I was very concerned about the lack of continuity that would occur but I was told to be assured that nothing was to occur haphazardly. Only later did I find out from working with Bart, that my initial mailling of letters to companies was NEVER sent out. Months had passed by and I was unaware that those companies that I had selected with SIC codes were never sent out. Again, more time was wasted.
They had lied about there being temporary jobs as well as their industry contacts because in all of my dealings with Phoenix Executive Group never did I receive a phone call or letter from a prospective employee indicating that they were recommended or had spoken to anyone from Phoenix Executive Group. This has been since July 9, 2002 and it stands to this day.
The video interviewing technique consisted of nothing more than a camera in my counselor's office and us critiquing my interviewing style. Never was there a certified media coach or was there ever anyone to do my resumes.
I had received countless dropoffs (which I was never made aware of at the initial meeting with joseph k.) that contained spelling errors and just a whole bunch of errors that indicated that they were not hiring people of quality to produce thses documents.
In the small print it says that Phoenix Executive Group is responsible for Career contacts and consulting. There is no wording whatsoever that deals with resume and cover letter preparation and I was aghast at how many times I had to go back and complain to the management about how poorly my cover letters and resumes were being handled. Nobody had been working on either my cover letter or resume who was a certified resume writer or cover letter writer. In fact, I found out that my counselor wrote my resume and to re-iterate his qualifications and statements "I'm not an expert at resume writing and Phoenix has never had so many IT people to deal with at one time" indicating that the IT market was in a state of flux.
Each and every resume and cover letter I had to pay to be sent out. However while this appears trivial and minor, it was not verbally brought up in my meeting with Joseph K. prior to the contract being signed. Little did I realize that if your sending out 250 cover letters with resumes, you can be looking at a nice piece of change. This would have been nice to know up front and not in small print glossed over. Joseph makes you concentrate on the party after the game, so to speak that you wind up becoming completely enamored of his sheer capacity to size a person up. I mean if he's this good at sizing me up, he must be this good to get me a job! And then all I have to do is think about the good times.
Well the good times never appeared. I stayed with the same counselor and while I never stopped going judiciously, the appointments with my counsellor started to be further and further apart so that there was more room in his schedule for newer clients. Soon they were every month, and as of this day, I have never heard from Phoenix Executive Group to reschedule a session.
I submit that they misrepresented themselves in the following areas.
Their temporary division is small to non-existant for IT.
They have nobody on staff who is a certified resume writer and cover letter specialist. They give you samples to start with but then you hand them in for finalizing, only to realize that their work is hit or miss and that trying to get them to redo resumes is very difficult.
I never received any special contacts other than those provided by a list database such as Dun & Bradstreet.
When I complained that I wanted to go over and review my interviewing style I was yessed to death but never did Phoenix Executive Group pick up the pace and concentrate on what I wanted.
I would hear, "I've never seen such a bad market" or "you may have to switch to a different career" if we can't get you something soon.
Don't get me wrong. I personally liked my counselor Bart very much, but his hands were tied in my opinion and it seems that if they are unable to place you quickly you get assigned a 2nd tier, then 3rd tier place at their priority list.
As far as the BBB reports, I had seen one that was from June of 2002, leading me to believe that their reputation and honesty were above criticism. Only did I learn later what a farce BBB is as long as your a member in good standing.
I would truly enjoy a media company going undercover to expose them for what they are. Scam artists that take people's money and create mailing lists for you.
Had I known that all I would be getting for my money, I would have purchased my own lists and have gotten my resume professionally done by certified individuals and I could have saved thousands of dollars. My counselor sympathesized but couldn't do a thing about my situation. I truly feel that an expose on Phoenix Executive Group as well as the Bernard Haldanes of this world needs to be done and presented to the general public so they are aware of what goes on in this world of smoke and mirrors.

Bible has come via Old French from ecclesiastical Latin biblia, from Greek (ta) biblia '(the) books'. The singular biblion was originally a diminutive of biblos 'papyrus, scroll', of Semitic origin. There is a link with the Eastern Mediterranean port of Byblos, which was a major exporter of papyrus to Greece. Words like bibliography (early 19th century) come from the same source.

Hi all
On the standard default theme the categories work fine. But when I use a different theme, when I click on the category, instead of just showing the posts in that category, it shows them all?
I've tried to contact the theme creator but with know luck getting any feedback.
Just wondering if there might be something simple I'm missing
Many thanks for helping

Never miss another 'The Horne Section' show
The Horne Section
Alex Horne and his band squeeze themselves (and their bordering-on-incompatible stage set-up) back into King's Cross for one lunchtime display of brass-based boisterousness.
The Horne Section
Alex Horne has gathered some of the UK's finest jazz musicians and mixed them with the most exciting comics in the country to create some unique and hilarious noises.
It's jazz-infused comedy; live and loud – part improvised, part honed, part performance, part party.
'We can't recommend The Horne Section highly enough – it's simply the best late-night show at the (Edinburgh Fringe Festival) and a gigantic heap of fun' (Time Out)
'An absolute blast' (Metro)

- An essential Review by Veganreviews
I have been using this primer for over 6 months now, it comes in a 50ml and i still have a decent amount left. My skin feels so soft and hydrated after i have applied this. I will either use it as a moisturizer when i don't wear makeup, or as it is intended. As a primer it helps makeup stay put for the whole day. When i break out i will put this on and the next day my skin will soft and the blemish will have almost disappeared. I love this primer and will definitely repurchase. (Posted on 19/03/2016)

GenVec yesterday announced it suspended a trial of its TNFerade cancer treatment after one of the trial participants died, even though a link between the drug and the death has not been proven. Eight trial participants with esophageal cancer were being treated with high doses of the drug in combination with radiation and three of them developed blood clots. One of the three died and the case was "potentially related" to the drug, according to a study summary. "We want to make sure there is not a pattern here we should be concerned about," GenVec's CEO said. "Our first and foremost concern is always patient safety."

Bonn Climate Change Conference Kick-Starts Technical Work [viewed]
26 May 2016: Taking place in the shadow of the historic Paris Conference, the Bonn Climate Change Conference of the UNFCCC was a low-profile meeting. It nevertheless had an ambitious agenda. It included the 44th sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI 44) and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA 44), and the first meeting of the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Paris Agreement (APA 1), the body created in Paris to prepare for the entry into force of the Agreement. The SBI and SBSTA were expected to take up a large list of issues that had been postponed in the run up to Paris, when the Ad Hoc Working Group on the Durban Platform for Enhanced Action (ADP) had taken center stage.

We studied the bone status in 52 patients 1 to 14 years after intestinal shunt surgery. Before operation, bone mass measured by photon absorptiometry and radiographic morphometry was normal by two criteria and slightly reduced by a third. After jejunocolostomy both cross-sectional and longitudinal data showed accelerated loss of bone due to increased net endosteal resorption. Similar but less significant changes occurred after jejunoileostomy. The severity of bone loss correlated better with hypoproteinemia than with any other biochemical measurement. Bone biopsy after tetracycline labeling in 10 patients with bone pain showed osteomalacia in two and significant impairment of osteoblast function in seven. Plasma 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels were normal or low despite prescription of 1.25 mg of vitamin D2 daily. Plasma parathyroid hormone levels were raised in only three of the patients with abnormal bone histology. We conclude that intestinal shunt surgery has an adverse effect on the bones. There is persistent intestinal malabsorption of vitamin D and calcium, doses of which ordinarily given to these patients may be too small, but it is likely that other nutritional deficiencies are also important.

"Advertising sucks... ever so gently."
"A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself." - David Ogilvy
no, it's not a "before&after" ad.
look at the "page 3" and "page 5" lines.
good job.
simple is the best.
I think the two-consecutive-right-hand-page placement makes this ad a real charmer! No, there's nothing that we already don't know about the brand. But it's the way they keep reminding us of it.
Absolutely fantastic!
Very very nice.
wish I'd had this idea........bastards ;)
"Make a name, or be defamed"
Doin' it for the points
wow. what an ad. i freakin love it! havent seen an ad this great in a while.
what do you think about it ackattak?
- Jared
Great work!
It will be many years to come for better before-after ads.
I'm looking at Jobs there....for a totally different reason.
Doin' it for the points
Best ideas are the simplest ideas. I had to learn that.
And this was a fact to establish: Bac makes razors too? COME ON!!!!! There was probably never a brief and I wonder if the client has payed even one euro for it.

If you can't see the effectiveness of the piece and also the media used then you need to think on what you're doing mate.
Doin' it for the points

When three expatriate Alaskans and I returned in 2013 to present concerts and workshops of new classical music, the guest musicians were blown away by Homer. But we did not anticipate the overwhelming enthusiasm and participation from the community. ...Wed, 07/02/2014 - 4:02pm
Kachemak Nordic Ski Club's Junior Nordic program was able to fortify its inventory of youth ski rental equipment with a generous gift from the Tin Roof Fund, a donor-advised fund at the Homer Foundation. Through their generosity, our program will be able to outfit our growing participants wi...Wed, 07/02/2014 - 4:01pm
It looks like this is the summer for fantastic Spit runs. At Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic, we plan to celebrate the 20th annual Homer Breast Cancer Run on Aug. 10 with several fun changes. This year we'll start at Mariner Park at 9 a.m. on a -4.3 tide. Participates will have the option to r...Wed, 07/02/2014 - 4:00pm
For years I have been putting off taking the harbor tour presented by the Pratt Museum. I finally decided to do it. By far, it was the best decision I made that day. Linda was my tour guide and she knows her stuff. She regaled me with stories about the origins of Homer and the harbor. The Pratt shou...Wed, 07/02/2014 - 3:59pm
Proposition 1 is a vote on how we will share our oil wealth with the oil corporations. It's been called the "Second Vote for Statehood," because the outcome is so important for funding our roads and schools and services. ...Wed, 07/02/2014 - 3:59pm
My husband and I have lived just down the street from City Hall for more than 35 years. A little more than a year ago we purchased a unit at Landings Condominium for our daughter, a single mother with a young child. We wanted them to have the stability and security of knowing they have their o...Wed, 07/02/2014 - 3:58pm
You can call me naive but I believe that most of the time our judicial system gets it right as evidenced by Judge Huguelet's recent ruling against the city of Homer concerning condominium assessments. I may be looking through rose-colored glasses, but I think the judge used some good old-fashioned...Wed, 07/02/2014 - 3:57pm
Judge Huguelet was very clear in his conclusion that the city of Homer's way of assessing for the natural gas line with regards to condominiums was "arbitrary and unreasonable." He also ordered the city to correct Ordinance 13-02. Have any of our city council members done their own research in...Wed, 07/02/2014 - 3:56pm
Just cause the guy's a greasy thug and you're scared doesn't mean you've got to grab the tab. You bet Alaska is a tough place to drill for oil — hundreds of miles from a road, with temperatures that turn oil into sludge, where crews are remote and cold. But if you're an oil executiv...Wed, 07/02/2014 - 3:54pm
One of the things I like best about Homer is that friends can disagree and remain friends. A friend of mine wrote last week's Point of View in support of SB 21, the oil tax give away. It read like a BP press release, full of unsupported statistics and misleading facts. He could not be more wrong.&...Wed, 07/02/2014 - 3:52pm
