There is much to praise about this lightweight, slightly creamy moisturizer housed in an opaque black pump bottle. As an Estee Lauder-owned company, the moisturizers Bobbi Brown offers shares their parent company's mix of ingredients that create elegant textures and luxuriously smooth finishes while treating skin to a typically impressive mix of antioxidants and repairing agents. All of that is wonderful and earns this moisturizer two big thumbs up from us—as does it's subtle yet visible peralized finish that perks up a dull complexion.
What drags this moisturizer down and earns it an unfavorable rating is the potent fragrance, most of which comes from volatile fragrant plant oils that are known skin irritants. Bitter orange, grapefruit, and geranium smell wonderful, but in this case pleasing your nose isn't equally pleasing to your skin—even if you cannot see or feel anything amiss. See More Info to learn how daily use of highly fragrant products like this can end up making matter worse, not better. If these potential problems are where the "Extra"comes in, we'll leave well enough alone!
More Info:
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin (Sources: Dermatitis, November-December 2013, pages 283–290; Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).
This revolutionary skin-boosting moisture balm helps energize tired, dull skin to bring back its natural glow. Reflective pearls mimic the radiance of healthy, glowing skin on contact, while Lychee Extract helps energize and enliven skin over time.

Bobbi Brown At-A-Glance
Strengths: A good cleanser and eye makeup removers; some impressive foundations, with options for all skin types and preferences; very good blushes and eyeshadows (powder and cream); several top-notch mascaras; mostly excellent brushes.
Weaknesses: Multiple moisturizers in jar packaging, otherwise great products hindered with irritating fragrant oils or fragrance components.
It all began with lipsticks. In 1991, New York based makeup artist Bobbi Brown debuted a collection of ten lipsticks at Bergdorf Goodman, expecting to sell about one hundred units in a month. She sold more than that the first day. From there, it's been mostly success after success, as Brown launched her classic foundation stick, wrote her first book, Bobbi Brown Beauty The Ultimate Beauty Resource, and enjoyed continued attention as an in-demand makeup artist and beauty educator.
Today, Bobbi Brown's makeup that continues to excel with superior foundations, true matte blushes and eyeshadows, and with all of the other basics that are essential to anyone's makeup wardrobe. It isn't the least bit surprising that this makeup collection continues to do so well, because for many it's one-stop shopping that combines classic makeup application techniques with enough fun-yet-functional products to keep customer's interest piqued season to season.
Turning to the skincare collection, there are a few excellent formulas, but unfortunately, many are packaged in a jar, which means their beneficial ingredients are rendered useless due to air exposure (and bacterial contamination from spatulas or fingers). In addition, some suffer from the inclusion of potent fragrant essential oils. Those that should be avoided are noted in their respective reviews. That aside, color is without a doubt Bobbi Brown's strong point—but you will find a few sleeper hits among the selection of skincare products.

Manchester City may have had a few days to prepare for the arrival of Raheem Sterling from Liverpool, but the club still ended up misspelling the winger's name on Twitter.
City took to the social network site to announce that Sterling, who completed a club-record move to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday, would give his thoughts on his transfer from Anfield in an exclusive interview with City's TV channel.
Unfortunately for the club's media team, they misspelled the England international's first name - which was, unsurprisingly, spotted by eagled-eyed tweeters.
".@sterling31's first CityTV interview...Coming soon! #WelcomeReheem #mcfc," the club wrote before quickly deleting the tweet and posting another message with the correct spelling.
The 20-year-old moves to Manuel Pellegrini's side on a five-year deal for a fee believed to be about £49million, which makes Sterling the most expensive English player ever.
The winger will wear the No.7 shirt at the Etihad Stadium, and is expected to fly to Australia within the next day to meet his new City team-mates.
The move from Anfield to Manchester comes after a long-running saga that began with Sterling's refusal to sign a new deal at Liverpool.
The 10 biggest transfers between Premier League clubs
The 10 biggest transfers between Premier League clubs
1/9 10. MAROUANE FELLAINI (Everton to Manchester United, £27.5million, September 2013)
David Moyes thought he had secured a key piece of the jigsaw when he managed to prise Belgium international Fellaini from the grasp of former club Everton following his appointment as United boss. However, the towering midfielder only really made an impressive following the end of the Scot's ill-fated and all too brief reign with Van Gaal belatedly seeing the best of him last season. VERDICT: Under David Moyes at United, a MISS. But under Van Gaal, a surprise HIT.
Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images
2/9 8=. WILFRIED BONY (Swansea to Manchester City, £28million, January 2015)
Bony's superb form for Swansea, for whom he scored 25 league goals in 54 appearances, prompted City to hand over £28million to add him to their already impressive armoury. However, it took the Ivory Coast international time to find his feet at the Etihad Stadium following his return from the African Nations Cup, and he managed just two goals in 12 outings.
Steve Parkin/AFP/Getty Images
3/9 8=. ROMELU LUKAKU (Chelsea to Everton, £28million, July 2014)
Everton spent big on Lukaku after seeing him score 15 goals in 31 appearances on loan after managing 17 for West Brom during the previous campaign. The Belgium international, who figured in only 10 league games for Chelsea, struck 20 times last season including a Europa League hat-trick against Young Boys. VERDICT: MISS
Martin Rickett/PA
4/9 6=. LUKE SHAW (Southampton to Manchester United, £30million, June 2014)
United backed their belief in Shaw's potential with hard cash when they splashed out on the then 18-year-old last summer. However, he has found the going tough to date with Van Gaal at one point questioning his fitness, and he is yet to fully prove his worth. VERDICT: MISS
Alex Livesey/Getty Images
5/9 6=. RIO FERDINAND (Leeds to Manchester United, £30million, July 2002)
A little more than 19 months after Leeds had paid West Ham £18million for central defender Ferdinand, United handed over £30million to secure his services, and it proved money well spent. He went on to make more than 450 appearances for the club over 12 years and won six league titles, the Champions League and two League Cups while at the same time representing England with distinction. VERDICT: HIT
Alex Livesey/Allsport/Getty Images
6/9 5. DIMITAR BERBATOV (Tottenham to Manchester United, £30.75million, September 2008)
Berbatov headed for Old Trafford with a blossoming reputation having proved himself in the Premier League during his two seasons at Spurs. He scored 14 goals during his first season at United, 12 in his second and 22 in his third, but fell out of favour with manager Sir Alex Ferguson and joined Fulham in August 2012. VERDICT: MISS
John Peters/Manchester United via Getty Images
7/9 4. ANDY CARROLL (Newcastle to Liverpool, £35million, January 2011)
There was uproar on Tyneside when the Magpies accepted an offer from Liverpool, who were immediately reinvesting a large chunk of the £50million Torres fee. However, Carroll was hampered by injuries and when new boss Brendan Rodgers decided he was not for him, his stay on Merseyside came to a swift conclusion. VERDICT: MISS
John Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images
8/9 3. JUAN MATA (Chelsea to Manchester United, £37.1million, January 2014)
Mata found himself unable to persuade Jose Mourinho he was worthy of a regular starting berth at Stamford Bridge and was signed by then United boss David Moyes in January 2014. The Spain midfielder had to be patient once again after the arrival of new manager Louis van Gaal as the Dutchman experimented with the players at his disposal, eventually finding a place for a proven match-winner. VERDICT: HIT
Matthew Peters/Man Utd via Getty Images
9/9 1. FERNANDO TORRES (Liverpool to Chelsea, £50million, January 2011)
Torres established himself as one of the most prolific frontmen in world football during his spell at Anfield, prompting Chelsea to invest heavily in his services. However, he was never able to reproduce his best form for the Londoners and after loan spells with AC Milan and Atletico Madrid, eventually sealed a permanent move to the Italian club in January this year. VERDICT: MISS
Shaun Botterill/Getty Images
Brendan Rodgers' side offered the 20-year-old £100,000-a-week to stay with the Reds, but Sterling rejected it before City moved in to secure the winger's services.Reuse content

V-Commerce: Virtual Reality Shopping Is Closer Than We Think
By Alan Shekhtman and Averie Hah
For a long period of time, the future of virtual reality in retail remained unclear. It was unclear whether or not consumers could ever shop in virtual reality or whether or not they would put on the headsets to watch brand experiences. However, the VR headset trend has really gained momentum as Samsung's Gear VR had over 1 million active users last April. In addition, Tractica predicts that nearly 200 million headsets will be sold by 2020. That's two-thirds of the United States population.
As people continue to adopt VR in the mainstream, many of our daily activities will be done in VR, as well. One of those activities, retail shopping, could easily make the transition. Brick and mortar retailers have already embraced online and mobile outlets. It won't be long before we hit the next logical step: the VR outlet.
Virtual reality has been expected to hit the retail industry for some time now. In a Goldman Sachs market report, the VR retail market is expected to rise to 1.6 billion by 2025. However, a few pioneers are now beginning to see its potential.
When it comes to fashion and apparel, brands such as Topshop, Merrell, Tommy Hilfiger, Dior, and North Face have created VR experiences that have been praised by fans and company executives alike.
The excitement comes from the interest in having a virtual shopping experience. According to a study from Ericsson ConsumerLab, shopping was the top reason worldwide smartphone users were interested in VR with "seeing items in real size and form when shopping online" as the main interest according to 64 per cent of respondents. When given the option of having a virtual avatar of themselves, half of the survey respondents were eager to take a "3D selfie" in order to virtually try on clothes.
In addition to clothing stores, marketplace companies are beginning to favour the idea of giving shoppers 24/7 convenient access to purchasing goods in the most appealing way. Ebay created a virtual reality app last May for Australian shoppers.
The shoppers could choose items and view them in ways that showcased their features more accurately. For example, if they wanted to buy a watch, they could see it in 3D to get a better look at its design and features. In addition, the user could use his or her gaze to scroll through the items. This eliminates the need for any handheld joysticks as users can quickly scroll through using the speed of their eyes. In addition, the gaze control feature presents retailers with very valuable information as they can track exactly where the customer is looking.
With Ebay leading the charge in virtual reality shopping, or "v-commerce," perhaps other giants like Amazon and Walmart will follow suit. Consumer reactions towards VR tend to be very positive, as two out of three consumers say that they would be interested in virtual shopping. With such optimism surrounding VR shopping experiences, this may be the jolt that the retail industry needs to excite customers some more, and set the path for v-commerce.

One of the most common complaints from amputee victims is the feeling of phantom pain -- feeling the missing limb but not being able to see or control it. Exactly what causes phantom pain is unknown, but it's likely a result of the brain still recognizing the limb even though it's no longer there. Despite the frequency of this problem, there's no one method of dealing with the pain that works for all amputees. But an experimental study, detailed in the journal Frontiers for Neuroscience, soothed one man's chronic phantom pain after 48 years of suffering by allowing him to not only see a virtual representation of the limb, but also to control it using electrodes attached to the base of the missing limb that measured muscle movement. The patient reported a drastic improvement in his phantom pain. The therapy needs to undergo more tests before it can be more widely used in treatment.
Burn patients, as well, can benefit from the use of virtual reality. Suffering through agonizingly painful treatment and therapy (such as the cringe-inducing "skin stretching" therapy) can be eased through a virtual game called "SnowWorld," first used by Loyola University Hospital in Maywood, Ill. The game puts victims as far from their injuries as mentally possible by letting them shoot snowballs at penguins and snowmen while jamming to Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al" (or whatever else they choose to listen to). The treatment helps distract patients by letting them have a little fun while also visually simulating a more comfortable environment for them. MRI results, as well as patient testimony, show that it's succeeding.
VR has been effective in treating soldiers who have returned from war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan and are suffering from PTSD. In this video, you see how the patient is gradually kept under stress by visiting a virtual representation of a Middle Eastern town. The therapy keeps the patient under reasonable amounts of stress so that he can learn to handle the stress and, hopefully, control it. While many consider this treatment controversial, proponents say it can be effective for some patients when used in conjunction with other forms of treatment. PTSD isn't the only psychological disorder VR can help to treat. The Virtual Reality Medical Center says phobias, anxiety disorders, and panic disorders can all be treated as well.
Virtual Reality has proved effective at treating children with autism. It can help them learn social cues, fine-tune motor skills, or experiment with real-world lessons like waiting until it's safe to cross the street. One reason behind the treatment's efficacy could be that children with autism interact well with technology, specifically virtual reality. Justine Cassell, director of Northwestern University's Center for Technology and Social Behavior, told NBC News that it's the technology's predictability, controllability and "infinite patience" that makes it such an effective teacher for these children. While these two youngsters are working with an Xbox One Kinect in this photo (also a sort of virtual reality), head-mounted displays are also used in this research.
Medical students don't have very many chances at the "error" part of trial-and-error learning. It's a big jump from operating on a human in theory to making the first cut on the operating table. Virtual reality makes "practice makes perfect" more practical. Recent uses of virtual reality in medicine include
It's not just medicine that's being improved by virtual reality. Some are finding uses for the technology in some surprising industries like the financial industry. An experiment by the Virtual Human Interaction Lab used virtual reality goggles to show 20-somethings what they would look and move like in their 60's in an attempt to get more young people to start saving for retirement early. The experiment worked. According to ABC News, those who wore the goggles put twice as much money into a hypothetical retirement account than those who did not.

Fantasy High: Part Sixteen
Chapter Sixteen- Nightmare
Azkedelia stood on the balcony watching the sunset. Merlin came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Azkedelia leaned back against him and smiled. "The sunset's beautiful."
Merlin pressed his lips against her hair. "It is, but not as beautiful as the girl in my arms."
Azkedelia smiled.
Merlin put his chin on top of her head. "The sun's set and you need your rest."
"Your point is?"
Merlin smiled. "My point is you should go to bed."
Azkedelia turned and looked at Merlin. "I'll only go if you come with me."
Merlin laughed. "Come on, Az."
Merlin picked her up bridal style and carried her inside. He gently set Azkedelia on the bed and turned off the lights. A fire appeared in the fireplace. Azkedelia pulled back the black sheets and slid between them.
Merlin stood in front of the fireplace, the firelight leaping across his face. "Something's wrong and you're not telling me what it is. What's bothering you, Az?"
Azkedelia shook her head. "It's nothing. My imagination's just messing with me."
Merlin looked at her. "Az, that's a lie. Tell me what it is and I'll do everything I can to fix it."
Azkedelia sat up and crossed her legs. "You're going to think I'm crazy. But ever since Pyro attacked me, I've been having really vivid nightmares."
Merlin took a step closer to the bed. "And what are these nightmares like?"
Azkedelia looked away. "I'm alone, walking down an abandoned hallway and I can't stop walking. I know that there's something that wants to hurt me at the end of the hallway, but I can't stop walking towards it."
Merlin sat beside Azkedelia and put his arm around her. "Az, those are probably just nightmares, but think we could try something just to be sure?"
Azkedelia nodded.
Merlin grabbed her hand. "When you're dreaming, I can channel your dreams to the mirror and I'll watch them."
Azkedelia looked up. "If it'll help stop these dreams, then okay."
Merlin got up. "Az, I'll be right back, I'm going to get something to help you sleep."
Azkedelia nodded as Merlin walked to the door.
He opened it and then stepped back. "Nix! Aren't you supposed to be in California?"
Nix pushed past Merlin and walked in Azkedelia's room. "Azkedelia Italia Keystone! What are you still doing here? You need to leave!"
Azkedelia looked at Nix. "Hello to you too, sis."
Nix set her bag down on a chair by the fireplace. "Az, you were almost killed! How long is it going to be before the 'almost' is taken out of the equation?"
"That's what I keep telling her, but she won't listen. And I'm going to go get something to help her sleep."
Nix pulled a green vial out of her bag. "No need. I've got something."
Merlin closed the door and walked back in the room. "Nix, Az was talking about nightmares she's been having. I was going to channel them on the mirror so we could see what's troubling her in her sleep."
Nix nodded and handed the bottle to Merlin.
Merlin walked to the bed. "Az, lay down."
Merlin uncorked the vial and held it to her lips. She drank the sleeping potion and her eyes closed immediately. Merlin looked at Nix.
Nix shrugged. "It's fast acting. It's the best thing whenever someone needs to sleep."
Merlin nodded and put one hand on Azkedelia's forehead. The other hand was aimed at the mirror. Merlin whispered an incantation and the surface of the mirror turned cloudy. When it cleared, Nix and Merlin were watching Azkedelia's dream. In the dream, Azkedelia was wearing a floor length faded white dress with a jagged black hem that fanned out on the floor behind her. A black ribbon tied at her waist and fell to the floor, fanning out with the rest of the skirt. The sleeves were long and wide, swallowing Azkedelia's arms and hands in a mass of off-white fabric. Azkedelia pulled her hair behind her shoulders, revealing a black choker with obsidian gemstones glinting in the eerie light. Scarlet red wallpaper looked like blood dripping down the walls. A deep, bone-chilling laugh filled up the air. Azkedelia stopped walking and stood trembling in the abandoned corridor.
The laugh sounded again. "Come here, Azkedelia Italia Keystone. Come here."
Azkedelia slowly started walking forwards again. She reached the end of the hallway. The wall slid back, revealing a dark room glowing pale green.
"Do not be frightened, Azkedelia. Come closer."
Azkedelia kept walking into the room. The dark stone walls had shreds of scarlet wallpaper clung to the walls. Thick slime coated the walls. Albino and black plants lived on the slime. Acid dripped from the ceiling. Green light from an indeterminate source up high in the air. Gleaming bones littered the floor. Azkedelia's skirt whispered in the silent, oppressing air as it brushed over the bones. Black whispering cloaked shadows stood on the edges of the light. At the center of the room was an ornately carved stone waist high table.
"Come forward, Azkedelia Italia Keystone."
Azkedelia walked forward, entranced by the power of the voice.
"Lie down on the table, Azkedelia Italia Keystone."
Azkedelia walked forwards and sat on the table. She swung her legs up. There was a hidden slit in the skirt. The skirt draped over the stone and spilled onto the floor. Her legs were bare up to her mid-thighs. A whispered chant began and slowly grew in volume. A ghost-white djamphir in all black walked closer to Azkedelia. The djamphir had a wickedly curved dagger held in his hand. The djamphir lifted the dagger high. He was about to plunge it in her heart. Azkedelia screamed and the mirror faded back to the clear surface. Azkedelia started thrashing around.
"No!" she screamed over and over.
"Az! Az, it's okay! It was just a dream! Az!" Merlin pulled the blankets down and tried to wake her up.
Nix stood up and grabbed her sister's hand. "Az! Wake up!"
Azkedelia screamed again and started levitating. She hovered three feet above the bed.
Azkedelia opened her eyes and they rolled back into her head. "Fiæries!"
The fire in the fireplace leapt up and flew under Azkedelia, forming flaming wings. Her blazing wings crackled and snapped. Azkedelia's wings wrapped around her, forming a flaming cocoon. Azkedelia was slowly lowered back to her bed. The flaming cocoon faded away. Merlin and Nix looked at each other and then at Azkedelia. Azkedelia was sleeping peacefully without a single scorch or burn. Merlin held one hand over her head and the other towards the mirror, whispering the incantation. The mirror swirled and turned grey, then cleared up and turned black.
Merlin dropped his hand and stopped the incantation. "She's having a dreamless sleep. She'll be okay for awhile, she's not waking up anytime soon."
Nix nodded. "Merlin, we need to talk."

Q3 sector scorecard: at the midpoint
Fidelity's latest quarterly sector update shows a mix of signals for most sectors.
- Fidelity Asset Management
- – 07/20/2016
With stocks at all-time highs post-Brexit, investors may be wondering what segments could be poised to potentially lead the market higher in the second half of 2016—or which ones might provide some downside protection if the market overheats as this summer unfolds.
Fidelity's third quarter (Q3) sector update reveals that telecom has the most positive metrics of those measured in this report, followed by technology, consumer staples, and utilities. The energy and utilities sectors had the most negative metrics, despite being the two best performing sectors last quarter. Read on to see how the sectors were rated.
What is Fidelity's Quarterly Sector Update?
The Quarterly Sector Update, including the Sector Scorecard, represents input from three discrete Fidelity investment teams—each with unique insights about sector investing—to provide a comprehensive view of the performance potential of the 10 major U.S. equity market sectors over multiple investment horizons. The Sector Scorecard's proprietary methodology measures the relative attractiveness of each sector as measured by five key factors: business cycle, fundamentals, relative valuations, momentum, and relative strength.
Scorecard: positives for telecom, tech, and consumer staples
Telecom led all sectors with three positive metrics in Q2, but scorecard indicators and returns often did not align. For instance, technology had two positive and no negative metrics, but it had Q2's lowest return (-3%), as investors favored defensive stocks. Despite having three negative metrics each, energy and utilities were Q2's best-performing sectors.
Industries: top five & bottom five performers this quarter
In Q2, 43 of the 67 industries that comprise the MSCI USA Investable Market Index (IMI) had positive total returns, and 32 industries beat the broader market's 2.8% gain (MSCI USA IMI). The industry groups within utilities, telecom, energy, and materials all were positive in Q2. Consumer discretionary and technology were the only negative sectors for the quarter.
Sector considerations: energy fundamentals in focus
A business-cycle approach to sector allocation may produce excess returns, and the energy sector has traditionally outperformed during the late-cycle phase. The oil industry has continued to generate productivity gains in the largest basins throughout the price downturn, implying there may be opportunities for active security selection to identify relative winners.
Fundamentals: telecom, staples strong; technology mixed
Telecom fundamentals have been driven by enhanced earnings growth, while consumer staples ranks at or near the top on return on equity (ROE) and earnings per share (EPS). Tech leads on a free-cash-flow basis, but its earnings growth has turned negative. Energy had the highest performance of any sector in Q2, but energy fundamentals will recover more slowly.
Relative valuations: financials, tech still most attractive
Financials is the least-expensive sector based on price-to-book ratio and earnings yield, while technology offers compelling earnings and free-cash-flow yields. Although utilities and consumer staples look expensive relative to their historical averages, both tend to significantly outperform the broad market at this juncture in their valuation cycles
Momentum: defensive sectors maintain their lead
As they did in Q1, investors continued to favor more-defensive sectors in Q2. Therefore, telecom, consumer staples, and utilities once again were the top three beneficiaries of accelerated price momentum. By the same token, energy, materials, and financials repeated as momentum laggards, even though energy was far and away the best-performing sector in Q2.
Relative strength: telecom, staples, energy on the rise
Telecommunications and utilities had the highest levels of relative price strength compared to the S&P 500, while energy also fared well thanks to the sector's strong price appreciation (+16%) in the first two quarters of 2016. Financials was at the bottom of the pack, while price weakness in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries pressured the health care sector.
Evolution of real estate as the new 11th sector
On August 31, 2016, real estate will be elevated from an industry within the financials sector to its own individual sector. Most of the new sector will contain equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs),* which historically have provided liquid and diversified property exposure, attractive dividend yields, and competitive long-term rates of total return.
Impact on financials sector when real estate is removed
When the real estate industry group is removed, the financials sector is likely to become less expensive on earnings and larger in average market capitalization (real estate stocks tend to have lower market caps than financials). It may also provide lower dividends than it had historically, while also exhibiting greater sensitivity to the stock market overall.
Defensive sectors: is it still a good entry point?
Is it cause for concern that some defensive sectors have forward valuations above their historical averages relative to the market? Actually, that's when some of these sectors have performed their best. Consumer staples and utilities, for example, historically have soundly beaten the S&P 500 during the 12 months after their forward P/Es eclipsed the market's average.
Health care: more than just pharma and biotech
Solid fundamentals—driven by strong employment and health care utilization trends, among others—have supported the performance of health care equipment and supplies. Employed individuals are more likely to have access to insurance, to visit the doctor, and to opt for elective procedures, which helps drive fundamental improvement for the companies.

Bear Market
At least a 20% correction in the stock market.
Cycle Hit Rate
Calculates the frequency of a sector outperforming the broader equity market over each business cycle phase since 1962.
Dividend Yield
Annual dividends per share divided by share price.
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA)
A non-GAAP measure often used to compare profitability between companies and industries, because it eliminates the effects of financing and accounting decisions.
Earnings per Share Growth
Measures the growth in reported earnings per share over the specified past time period.
Earnings Yield
Earnings per share divided by share price. It is the inverse of the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio.
Free Cash Flow (FCF)
The amount of cash a company has remaining after expenses, debt service, capital expenditures, and dividends. High free cash flow typically suggests stronger company value.
Free-Cash-Flow Yield
Free cash flow per share divided by share price. A high FCF yield often represents a good investment opportunity, because investors would be paying a reasonable price for healthy cash earnings.
Full-Phase Average Performance
Calculates the (geometric) average performance of a sector in a particular phase of the business cycle and subtracts the performance of the broader equity market.
Median Monthly Difference
Calculates the difference in the monthly performance of a sector compared with the broader equity market, and then takes the midpoint of those observations.
Price-to-Book (P/B) Ratio
The ratio of a company's share price to reported accumulated profits and capital.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio
The ratio of a company's current share price to its reported earnings. A forward P/E ratio typically uses an average of analysts' published earnings estimates for the next 12 mos.
Price-to-Sales (P/S)
Ratio The ratio of a company's current share price to reported sales.
Relative Strength
The comparison of a security's performance relative to a benchmark, typically a market index.
Return on Equity
The amount, expressed as a percentage, earned on a company's common stock investment for a given period.
Risk Decomposition
A mathematical analysis that estimates the relative contribution of various sources of volatility.
Business Cycle
The business cycle as used herein reflects fluctuation of activity in the U.S. economy and is based on Fidelity's analysis of historical trends.
Sector rankings are based on equally weighting the following four fundamental factors: EBITDA growth, earnings growth, return on equity (ROE), and free-cash-flow margin. However, we evaluate the Financials sector only on earnings growth and ROE because of differences in its business model and accounting standards.
Compares the price change of a sector versus itself over a 12-month period, with a one-month reversal on the latest month. Persistence in returns can be a useful indicator of sector performance during a six- to 12-month period.
Relative Strength
Compares the strength of a sector versus the S&P 500 Index over a six-month period, with a one-month reversal on the latest month; identifying relative strength patterns can be a useful indicator for short-term sector performance.
Relative Valuations
Valuation metrics for each sector are relative to the S&P 500 Index. Ratios compute the current relative valuation divided by the 10-year historical average relative valuation, eliminating the top 5% and bottom 5% values to reduce the effect of potential outliers. Sectors are then ranked by their weighted average ratios, weighted as follows: P/E: 35%; P/B: 20%; P/S: 20%; free-cash-flow yield: 20%; dividend yield: 5%. However, the Financials sector is weighted as follows: P/E: 59%; P/B: 33%; dividend yield: 8%.

The typical Business Cycle depicts the general pattern of economic cycles throughout history, though each cycle is different. In general, the typical business cycle demonstrates the following: Early-cycle: economy bottoms and picks up steam until it exits recession, then begins the recovery as activity accelerates. Inflationary pressures are typically low, monetary policy is accommodative, and the yield curve is steep.
Mid-cycle: economy exits recovery and enters into expansion, characterized by broader and more self-sustaining economic momentum but a more moderate pace of growth. Inflationary pressures typically begin to rise, monetary policy becomes tighter, and the yield curve experiences some flattening.
Late-cycle: economic expansion matures, inflationary pressures continue to rise, and the yield curve may eventually become flat or inverted. Eventually, the economy contracts and enters recession, with monetary policy shifting from tightening to easing.
Please note that there is no uniformity of time among phases, nor is the chronological progression always in this order. For example, business cycles have varied between one and 10 years in the U.S., and there have been examples when the economy has skipped a phase or retraced an earlier one.
The S&P 500® Index is a market capitalization–weighted index of 500 common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation to represent U.S. equity performance.

The S&P 500 sector indices include the standard GICS sectors that make up the S&P 500 Index. The market capitalization of all S&P 500 sector indices together composes the market capitalization of the parent S&P 500 Index; each member of the S&P 500 Index is assigned to one (and only one) sector.
MSCI USA Investable Market Index (IMI) is designed to measure the performance of the large-, mid-, and small-cap segments of the U.S. market. With 2,505 constituents, the index covers approximately 99% of the free-float-adjusted market cap in the U.S.
Sectors are defined as follows: Consumer Discretionary: companies that provide goods and services that people want but don't necessarily need, such as televisions, cars, and sporting goods; these businesses tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles. Consumer Staples: companies that provide goods and services that people use on a daily basis, like food, household products, and personal-care products; these businesses tend to be less sensitive to economic cycles. Energy: companies whose businesses are dominated by either of the following activities: the construction or provision of oil rigs, drilling equipment, or other energy-related services and equipment, including seismic data collection; or the exploration, production, marketing, refining, and/or transportation of oil and gas products, coal, and consumable fuels. Financials: companies involved in activities such as banking, consumer finance, investment banking and brokerage, asset management, insurance and investments, and real estate, including REITs. Health Care: companies in two main industry groups: health care equipment suppliers and manufacturers, and providers of health care services; and companies involved in the research, development, production, and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology products.

Really special place !!
If you want the ultra English experience then you have to incorporate afternoon tea into your trip. It is a lovely little tea room. Tourist prices, but hay what do you expect. Very friendly and lovely food.
After waiting half an hour to be served even though it was prebooked, when the tea arrived it was terrible.....tiny and very dry sandwiches. Cakes which tasted as though they were a week old, and scones so hard you almost needed a chisel to cut into them.....
Out family went to Bibury as the first stop from London to Cotsworld. After wandering around Bibury and nearby Trout farm, we went for lunch in the Bibury Court hotel. It was too early for afternoon tea so we just went there for lunch and we were impressed with excellent food quality, service, and beautiful garden.
Lovely surroundings and well worth a walk around before or after you have your afternoon tea. The tea was quite nice but just wasn't worth £20 per person which is a shame because it's such a lovely spot. The sandwiches are a bit dry and not what you'd expect from a traditional cream tea and the scones were also very...
I booked an Afternoon Tea on Wednesday 23rd July for a friend's 70th birthday.
As it was a special birthday I thought we would book a "special venue" in the Cotswolds.
At £19 a head we were expecting something a little "special",
The cakes and scones were very nice but the sandwiches left a lot to be desired. The bread...
After an afternoons stroll around the picturesque village of Bibury we called in for tea at the lovely Court Hotel . The hotel is stunning and the staff very helpful and friendly , I would recommend a visit if you get the opportunity .
Visited on Sunday for afternoon tea. It's a stunning setting and anyone visiting the Cotswolds would be delighted -it's truly beautiful England. However the high tea was overpriced and underwhelming. Four of us had the tiniest 3 quarters with salmon and dill, ham and beef which is fine for the meat eaters but not what was advertised on the menu....
The owners have a beautiful Grade 1 building in a great setting.The restaurant and hotel go from bad to worse. No visbile management bar tables not cleared of plates and bottles by 11am from previous evening. After a terrible Sunday lunch last year-we went back on 17 August having read they had just recruited the outstanding chef from Allium in...
We booked a Sunday afternoon high tea for two people, and were asked to arrive at a designated time.
The main lounge where teas appeared to be served was full, so we had to sit in the bar area. The bar area looked a bit of mess, as they had simply stacked all the glasses from their Sunday lunch service...

I was inspired by an old Sorted Food video but couldn't find the exact recipe so I just kind of made it up as I went along. The cakes are very rich and chocolately with a crunchy pretzel base, finished off with a simple buttercream icing and an individual pretzel on top. If you've had salted caramel before then you'll know that salt and sweet flavours are a match made in heaven and the crunchy base gives them a little somethin' different than what you might expect from a cupcake.
They're definitely decadent and you probably wouldn't want more than one at a time...
If you want to give them a try then I suggest watching the Sorted Food video to get the idea and then just follow a basic chocolate cupcake recipe for the actual batter.
What's your favourite cupcake flavour??

Though most people do not enjoy the process of shopping for a car, having a new car is fun. Doing your homework in advance is really critical to clearing up the process of buying a new car. The advice shared here can get you started on the right track.
Do not make the mistake of believing that you have to pay the full asking price for a used car. There should always be room for negotiation. if a car has been on the market for a while with no buyers, that will make the seller more likely to accept an offer of less than they are asking for.
Don't ever pay full price. Dealers do not expect to receive full price anyhow. If you're not a great negotiator, bring someone who is. You need to know what a decent price is going to be before you go so that you have a good idea of what you should pay.
When you are considering buying a used car, always have your mechanic check it out first. You are not a qualified mechanic trained to spot problems or repairs, so you need to take it to a professional. Be prepared to pay $100 or so for this service, but it may end up saving you thousands.
You should not mention trade-ins, incentives or down payments until you have negotiated and received the price you wanted on your ideal vehicle. These different things should be deducted from the final price. Negotiating first can get you a better price, and then you can discuss these little "extras."
Make sure to take your time. Even if you are really excited about buying a car, don't run out and buy it on the same day. Make sure that you have taken the time to do research on safety, repairs and other factors before doing something you might end up regretting.
Try renting cars to get a better feel for the vehicle. Purchase these from car companies for a short period of time to get a better overall feel. Use the car to take your family on a road trip so you can determine if that particular model will be a good fit for your family. This can help you feel less stressed when purchasing the car.
Before going car shopping, clean all personal items out of your car. Doing this one thing will save you considerable time at the dealership. This will also ensure that you do not leave behind important documents such as insurance papers. Nothing is worse than getting home and realizing the you left something in the car you just traded in.
Check out multiple Temecula dealerships for the car you desire. Once you select which make and model you want, don't just stick to the closest lot. If there are multiple dealers of that brand, check them all out. Don't forget to check out used lots as well, they often offer great bargains on cars which will drive for a long time to come.
Purchasing a new car may be intimidating, but it certainly doesn't have to be. Truthfully, when you are properly prepared, car shopping can be enjoyable. Start out with this article.

"We ought not to view it as something special, as depraved or in some magical way better than other kinds of behavior. We ought to see it simply as a kind of behavior some disapprove of and others value, studying the process by which either or both perspectives are built up and maintained."
~ Howard Becker, Outsiders
Hello World
Welcome to my new site. I am happy to bring you my thoughts on Swinging. Who am I? I am a former Unicorn who found her Love in the Lifestyle. We started as Play Partners, now we are partners in all parts of our lives. This is my thoughts, experiences and basic knowledge on Swinging. Planned topics include Hot Stories, Lifestyle Talk, Reviews of Products, Books, Events, and Clubs. Enjoy!I would like to stress that this is an Adult Site. You will not find pornographic photos but will find adult discussions on adult topics. If you are a prude, have no interest in a healthy sex life, or under 18, this site is not for you. If you would like some tips to spice up your sex life, health tips related to sex, or interest in the Lifestyle, then welcome!
When you visit My Book Reviews keep this scale in mind:
Connie's Scale:
Over all enjoyment: 1 – 5 Penises (because the more the merrier I always say)
1 P = could not finish book. Just plain bad.
2 P = Made it past the first chapter but forced myself to finish
3P = had some redeeming features in it. Some parts worth repeating but over all
just an average book.
4P = Kept me wanting to reading it through. Had many parts I enjoyed and wanted
to tell others about.
5P = One of the best books I have ever read on the subject. A must read.
The Erotic Factor: 1- 5 Orgasms (again, the more the merrier)
1 O = some titillation due to the subject contact. Not a sex book.
2 O = had a mediocre sex scene
3 O = at least one steamy scene, not enough to get my pants wet.
4 O = some very hot scenes. Made me take notes to try later.
5 O = couldn't make it though without putting the book down at least once to take
care of myself, it had gotten me so hot.

Change is the only constant in the mobile workforce landscape. Changes in devices, operating systems, work habits and enablement models can make endpoint management and security very difficult. IT groups need to continuously adjust the way they provision new devices, deploy enterprise apps, enable remote access, secure corporate information and more.
Meanwhile, new vendors are entering the mobile marketplace, offering new devices, enterprise device management solutions and security solutions. Filtering out the noise in the marketplace is no easy task.
Choosing multiple point solutions from multiple vendors as your needs evolve along with these changes can increase complexity and cost. So, how can your organization future-proof its mobility strategy while maintaining security and managing complexity?
This white paper identifies best practices that can help your organization create a flexible and scalable approach. It then explores the Dell Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution and highlights how this solution can play a key role in helping meet current needs while enabling you to prepare for the future.

dip stick
Last time driving my chevelle the tip of my dip stick broke off and found its way into the oil pan. Lucily I found the problem and was able to change the oil and oil filter before running the engine for a prolonged period of time. Has anyone ever had this happen? Did this cause any major harm to the engine?
Never heard of that one. Probably would not do any damage, unless it happened to be kcked up by the oil sloshing around and find it's way into the crank....not likely though. It's too large to pass through the oil pickup screen, so it's safe there. It will just lay in the bottom of the pan.
your dip stick was probly rubbing the crank and was shaved off it happend to me need to bend it a little bit away from the crank side when you put the new one in
I've never had one break, but I've had several customers that had broken dip sticks and none ever hurt anything.
I put a small speaker magnet on all my oil pans, seems to work pretty good.

Fisons has long been regarded as a prime takeover candidate. But, as is so often the case, the eventual bid came out of the blue.
Still, the market was happy to welcome the prospect of another big cash injection and with institutions thought to be over-endowed with cash there was talk of Footsie achieving substantial headway in the next few months.
This year has already lived up to the prediction that it would be the year of the mega-bid. But many more than expected have been cash offers, including much of the pounds 9bn Glaxo lavished on Wellcome.
Other bids have included the Swiss Bank Corporation for SG Warburg; Dresdner Bank for Kleinwort Benson; and three still in progress - Hanson for Eastern Group, Southern International for South Western Electricity and Scottish Power for Manweb.
Already the year's bid stampede has, or will, provide approaching pounds 20bn for the market.
Now the market can also feast on the 240p-a-share offer for Fisons from the French- controlled Rhone-Poulenc Rorer.
Fisons, revitalised by Stuart Wallis, chief executive, recently failed to acquire Medeva when the two sides could not agree terms. The pharmaceutical sector was also enlivened by reports Sweden's Pharmacia was planning a get-together with the US drugs giant, Upjohn.
Fisons shares, up 71.5p to 264.5p, clearly reflected hopes that RPR will have to increase its offer or a counter-bidder will be prompted into action. Zeneca, often linked with Fisons in the past, fell 8p to 1,099p on worries that it will be tempted to intervene.
It was also felt RPR's interest in Fisons removed a possible bidder for Zeneca.
Medeva, helped by Merrill Lynch support, gained 6.5p to 260p and Smith & Nephew, for long the subject of takeover flurries, rose 4.5p to 191.5p.
Besides the Fisons inspiration the market drew strength from Thursday's inflation figures and futures-related activity.
Unipalm, the computer group which is a provider of access to the Internet, was another surfing on takeover action. The shares jumped 63p to 390p as the group confirmed it had received an approach. The shares were 200p at the start of last month.
Christies International, the fine art auctioneer, rose 4p to 216p. Joseph Lewis has taken his stake to just over 16 per cent, buying another 5 million shares through his investment arm, Abel.
His intentions towards Christies are not known. But he is unlikely to be a passive shareholder. Mr Lewis, who used to run the London leisure business Hanover Grand, is based in the Bahamas.
Vodafone, at one time up to 281.5p, ended at 276p, a 3.5p gain. Reuters became a new recipient of US buying, up 20p at 577p. Banks were firm with Standard Chartered leading the sector with a 20.5p gain to 409.5p.
Drinks shares were again encouraged by the heatwave with hard-pressed Merrydown gaining 11p to 93p.
Asda was the worst-performing blue chip. Vague stories persist that Archie Norman, who has transformed the supermarket chain, is planning to return to Kingfisher, up 9.5p to 474.5p. Tesco rose 7.5p to 331.5p on talk that it was outperforming its arch-rival J Sainsbury, 5p higher at 469.5p.
Albert Fisher, the food group, was busily traded with the shares up 2p at 55p. Buyers were encouraged by the moderately confident tone of this week's analysts' meetings which underlined the share's yield appeal. James Capel moved from hold to buy and Smith New Court also put the shares on its buy list.
Costain, the struggling builder, held at 104p. Raymond International, one of two Middle Eastern groups attracted to the shares, has lifted its stake to 5.14 per cent. The group's other Middle Eastern fan, Mohamed Abdulmohsin Kharafi & Son, has 13.3 per cent.
Reliance, the security group traded on the USM, gained 9p to 173p. Chairman Brian Kingham has more than 70 per cent of the shares and there is speculation he will seek a full listing that could force him to reduce his shareholding. There is also talk of a bid.
Aminex put on 5p to 65p as it announced a Russian expansion that will lift its proven and probable oil and gas reserves by 219 per cent to 38 million barrels, equal to 114p a share.
Bula, another with Russian interests, placed 112 million shares at 2.25p with institutional investors, and Petroceltic, on its rumoured strike, gained a further 4p to 43p.
o The flow of recruits to AIM is gathering pace with the 4.2 market winding down next month. The first Channel Island company, La Riches Stores, a retail and wholesale food and drinks group with the Marks & Spencer franchise for Jersey, is on its way; so are two exploration companies in the stable of Irish entrepreneur John Teeling. Pan Andean, with interest in Bolivia, arrives on 29 September, followed a few weeks later by African Gold. La Riches' 4.2 price is 270p, African Gold 5.5p and Pan Andean 10p.
o Doeflex, a maker of specialist plastic materials, held at 200p. Stockbroker Neilson Cobbold believes the shares are good value. Following a pounds 4m plastic takeover the broker has lifted its profit forecast for this year from pounds 2.3m to pounds 2.8m and next from pounds 2.7m to pounds 3.7m.

Meggie: If The Bus Is Willing...
They say life teases and pulls at people from all sides; when you think you have one problem sorted, another just springs up from nowhere. Take the 'normal' people: it's "what should I have for breakfast today?" or "do you think the new boy at school will notice me?" However, normality never did favour me...and neither did fortune.
If I were asked what the most common question pertaining to love had been before I had taken a fateful bus-trip two months ago, it would have been: "that man, the gorgeous, cheeky man who just happens to teach me Religious Education, do you think he knows what I feel for him? Do you think he feels the same when he looks at me with those sparkling eyes?"
However, that bus-trip had shown me a universe of difference. Thrust away from my friends and family, I had discovered that there was more to life than running through the haze of it, and that the one person I had treasured the most was willing to give up his entire ordered life to keep me safe.
Now that was the reason that I had returned to this vehicle which gleamed with nostalgia: a desire to get away from the drudgery of normality, a desire, beating, to return to the time when I had been innocently thrown into what had been insanity in a race to get away from my future. Going back to England, a place that once had a home for me, didn't seem the right thing to do…despite the ties of family that pulled my companion back there. He would never understand how little family mattered to me.
Now insanity had become my normality, and wisdom took the part of ignorance. Even so, I had not the skills, nor the nerve, to admit to the world who- what- I was succeeding. It was a secret that lay, deadly, burning under the cross I had draped about my neck in a casual fashion. I let them see that I didn't care, when instead my fear was carving me to pieces from the inside out.
In the instant of lifting my feet up those rubbery steps, I wondered if this was the same bus which I had left all too long ago; the stench of beasts of fiction and immortality lingered in my nostrils, the images of a twisted scene were played out once again in my eyes. I didn't know whether the other passengers stirred as I wandered down the aisle, keeping my eyes on my boyfriend who strode behind me. They would have taken in the dishevelled side of Meggan Greene, Satanic 'Princess' (if I could call myself that without assuming the title and place as my own): more than the occasional smear of dirt across my face, leaves entangled in hair the colour of gold that had rusted. What a contrast my 'make-up' would seem with the emerald dress that clung to my short figure. It remained a positive part of my past, an illuminated gift that had now lost its lustre from a time of self-hatred.
My eyes rolled between the seats; choosing where to sit, whilst being the least of my problems, was still a question in itself.
"Meggie...here will do." Aidan Bible, thirty-five-year-old, former Religious Education teacher for St. Christopher's College, Oxford, whispered into my ear. His breath was soft and delicious as it left a tickling trail into my ear-drum.
Obediently I sat and, having no luggage since the disastrous escape from America, began to make a mental note of the other passengers who had arrived, including those who had slipped on after Aidan and I.

Deconstructing Nurse Jackie
YouTube is promoting the new Showtime series "Nurse Jackie." This advertisement caught my eye because it looked VERY similar to a new NBC series called Mercy. Both Nurse Jackie and Mercy feature a White, middle-age, strong, independent, sassy nurse as the lead character. Both series also promote the politically correct stereotype of White Males being bumbling fools. Of course, homosexuals and non-Whites are portrayed as smart and competent characters.
Whiskey, one of the more insightful bloggers I like to read, analyzed Mercy concerning how it reflects the new feminist social norms.
What amazed me is how Nurse Jackie looks almost like an identical copy of Mercy. I know Hollywood is not known for original thinking, but to so closely copy another show is almost a form of outright plagiarism.
Nurse Jackie and Mercy are two examples of television programs that are steeped in the ideology of cultural Marxism. Yes, the goal of these shows is to draw an audience (mostly female). However, the secondary goal is to help define and shape social norms and behaviors. While the propaganda is fairly obvious and crude to those aware of such things, it can be effective in helping to shape and reinforce desired thoughts among the masses.

Good find. It does seem a lot like Mercy, perhaps sans the overt adultery.ReplyDelete

When you say "middle aged white women", you really mean "bitter old maids."ReplyDelete
No happily-married mom would watch this show. It's targeted at women who discovered that rebelling against "the patriarchy" didn't provide them with happiness or fulfillment, and think their miserable lives are still somehow the fault of "the patriarchy."
No truly successful career woman would watch this show either. They have no use for the bitterness. The stereotype of evil, incompetent straight white men and honest, productive ethnic gays doesn't ring true with them. They do not need to have their attractiveness constantly reaffirmed by seeing an ugly, dykey old bag slutting it up with Tom, Dick, and Harry.
The kind of women who would watch a show like this are, unfortunately, a lot like Jackie. Stuck in a dead-end job, they loathe anyone who is successful (usually white men), and commisserate with their peers and subordinates (usually "people of color"). They express their disappointment by belittling men and acting like cunts. Their youthful looks, if they ever had any, are gone, so they resort to fucking whoever they can get to prop up their flatlining self-esteem. Then, when they're sitting at home alone on Friday night in their one-bedroom high-rise apartment, drowning their sorrows in boxed wine, they turn on Nurse Jackie to tell them that they're Totally Normal and It's Not Your Fault, that feminism didn't sell them a Big Bag of Lies and then abandon them in the Cold Hard World when they stopped being useful youthful pawns.
Now while Mercy and Nurse Jackie seem superficially the same, I think they're targetting slightly different demographics. Mercy is aiming for a slightly higher class of woman. These are women that have a decent job, are still at least marginally attractive, were maybe married or engaged once or at least had a long-term boyfriend, maybe have some tolerable offspring or a hobby - they are at least somewhat satisfied with their lives.
From what I've seen, Mercy tells women that life is good because of feminism. Nurse Jackie tells women that life sucks because we don't have enough feminism.

Minoxidil with 0.01% Retinoic acid 2 months after hair transplant
Hello everyone. I am 2 months post HT. Prior to HT I was on regime of Minoxidil with 0.01 % of retinoic acid which I felt was excellent compared to minoxidil only. For 2 months post op, I stayed away from retinoids and want to go back on them. I was hoping to confirm if they have any detrimental effects on new follicles at this stage ?
Doctor Answers 3
2 moths wants to go back to retinoids
Check with your doctor first and then if he agrees, go for it. I always tell patients to check with their doctors because I can't practice medicine over the internet
2 months
In all likelihood you should be fine at 2 months. However, post procedure protocols differ from doctor to doctor and you will want to make sure you are following his/her instructions.
Web reference: http://www.artisanhairtransplant.com
It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.
It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. After 2 months there should be no issue other than the inherent irritation from the acid.
