Just in time to coincide with the Region 1 DVD release of the 1963 film 'Cleopatra', the British Museum has recently opened an exhibition attempting to examine the mysteries behind the Egyptian queen. It's also the first major exhibition to take place in the museum's new Great Court, in a room located above and behind the central reading room. The museum has made real efforts to promote the exhibition, possibly seeking to absolve itself of some of the stigma it acquired following its recent "dull" exhibition about Roman gladiators. Nonetheless, the Cleopatra exhibition has received an equally negative collection of press reviews, generally damning the exhibition for its failure to adequately examine the character of Cleopatra, or her role in history. Despite the press reviews, I still thought I would visit the Cleopatra exhibition, figuring that even if the exhibition failed to expand on the historical aspects of the woman, it would nonetheless present an interesting picture of Egyptian life at the time of Cleopatra, and include an interesting collection of antiquities. However, I was generally very disappointed by the presentation of the exhibition, and indeed, by its lack of particularly relevant content. ORGANISATION Timed tickets for the exhibition are bought from a stand in the Great Court, and cost a depressingly dear £7 for adults (£3.50 for concessions), which includes a booklet summarising Cleopatra's life in bite-sized chunks for the MTV generation. Renting an audio guide to accompany the exhibition, which includes additional information on about fifteen of the exhibition's pieces will cost you an additional £3. I decided not to take the audio guide, so I can't really comment on how much it would enhance the exhibition. Getting to the actual exhibition involves walking up a flight of stairs around the outside of the reading room. The exhibition gallery is quite small, and ge
ntly curved, following the outside wall of the reading room, and the initial impression is that it's incredibly crowded. As you progress through the exhibition, it becomes less crowded, probably because visitors seem to accelerate as they tour it. It's likely that as the exhibition continues, it will become less popular, and the crowds will thin out. The exhibition is divided into a series of sections, arranged chronologically, from Cleopatra's Ptolemaic heritage through to the Emperor Augustus's accession after Antony committed suicide. The layout of the exhibition, however, is not entirely obvious to most visitors, apparently, because the outer wall, which runs along the length of the gallery, is dedicated to the European myth that arose around the character of Cleopatra over the last few hundred years. The result is that a visitor following the obvious path through the exhibition, will continually flip backwards and forwards in time between Roman-era Egypt and Second Millennium Europe. The most logical route through the collection is to ignore these pieces on the outer wall, until you have toured the exhibition of Cleopatra's life, and then go back to it - which counterintuitively involves walking back to the start of the exhibition again. THE EXHIBITION The very first panel of information you see upon entering the exhibition poses the question; "Who was the historical Cleopatra?" Was she a "queen of ruthless sensuality", or a "harlot who unmanned [Mark] Antony"? Clearly, the exhibition is seeking to provide some background to the personality of the historical figure. Cleopatra was the last of the Ptolemies. When Alexander the Great died in 323 BC, his land was divided among his generals, one of whom, Ptolemy I, took Egypt. The Ptolemies rule was at first strong, however, over time, their rule was weakened by petty feuds. The first section of the exhibition is devoted t
o the rule of the first twelve Ptolemies, and consists of a series of busts of some of the Ptolemaic rulers, and coins featuring their likenesses. The second section examines the city of Alexandria, which became a cosmopolitan capital under the Ptolemaic rule. This proved probably the most interesting of the sections of the sections of the exhibition, consisting of items uncovered by recent excavations in the sea and various sites around the city. The exhibits include a remarkably well-preserved and impressively intricate mosaic of a dog, and several likenesses of various Egyptian gods. The next section of the exhibition focuses (at last) on Cleopatra herself, entitled 'Cleopatra, Divine-Daughter, Father-Loving Lady of the Two Lands". Cleopatra was declared a goddess when she was just 4 years old, and went on to become ruler of both Upper and Lower Egypt. In this area of the exhibition, a display explains some of the ways in which sculptures of Cleopatra VII can be differentiated from sculptures of other contemporary Egyptian figures. However, these methods prove far from reliable, and the busts displayed in this section are generally labelled as "resembling Cleopatra" or "having the characteristics of Cleopatra". Probably the most interesting of the pieces on display in this section, and the one having the closest association with the ruler was a piece of papyrus bearing a proclamation by the queen, which may have been signed by her own hand. In the years before Cleopatra took the throne, the Roman Empire was beset by civil war. Pompey and Julius Caesar were the leaders of the two main factions. When Cleopatra's father, Ptolemy XII, died, many Egyptians supported her brother, Ptolemy XIII as the next ruler. Cleopatra was forced into exile, and Ptolemy XIII assisted Caesar's forces in their defeat of Pompey. When Caesar arrived in Alexandria, Ptolemy XIII's supporters presented Pompey's head to
Caesar, much to his dismay. During his stay in Ptolemy's palace in Alexandria, Cleopatra was smuggled into Caesar's room, according to legend, in a bedroll. It is said that Caesar was so taken with her beauty, that he assisted with the deposition of her brother, and installed her as the ruler of Egypt. In 46 BC, Cleopatra moved to Rome to live with Caesar, having born him a son, Caesarion. However, in 44 BC, when Caesar was murdered, Cleopatra returned to Alexandria, building a temple there in Caesar's honour. The fourth section of the exhibition supposedly focuses on Caesar's relationship with Cleopatra, but in actuality focuses almost entirely on Caesar himself. There are a series of busts, which like those of Cleopatra, cannot always be unambiguously associated with Caesar. There was something of a fashion in Rome at the time for people to seek to imitate Caesar's appearance as closely as possible, with the result that busts of any Roman nobleman closely resembled the Roman leader. Only one of the busts on display is confidently labelled as representing Julius Caesar. In 41 BC, Mark Antony summoned Cleopatra to Tarsus to discuss his need for Egyptian gold and grain. However, Antony didn't immediately fall for Cleopatra, instead selecting the sister of Octavian (Julius Caesar's great-nephew), Octavia for a wife. However, Antony soon left Octavia for Cleopatra, and she bore him twins - Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene. It is the affair between Antony and Cleopatra that is the subject of the fifth section of the exhibition. This, like the exhibition devoted to Caesar's relationship with Cleopatra, focuses mainly on Antony himself. Again, there is a series of busts, though these are more confidently associated with Antony than are those of Caesar. One of the most uninspiring exhibits is a plinth upon which a bronze statue of Antony may once have stood, but no longer does. Between 37 and 30 BC, t
here was conflict between Antony and Octavian, culminating in a major naval battle in 31 BC at Actium. Antony and Cleopatra escaped from the battle to Alexandria. Antony, so legend would have it, received false news that Cleopatra had committed suicide and took his own life. When Cleopatra heard of Antony's death, she also committed suicide. The sixth section of the exhibition looks at Octavian, or as he later called himself, Emperor Augustus. This section contains some of the most impressive busts in the exhibition, with some enormous marble and bronze heads, which are unequivocally labelled as depicting Emperor Augustus. The final chronological section of the exhibition examines of Octavian's version of the historical figure of Cleopatra, and consists of some of the abusive caricatures of the Egyptian leader that appeared over the next couple of centuries. For example, a terracotta lamp shows a woman, labelled as Cleopatra about as tentatively as most other exhibits in the collection, having sex with an enormous phallus attached to a crocodile. A marble relief depicts a boat with figures tentatively identified as Antony and Cleopatra having sex. Along the long outer wall of the exhibition are a series of historical depictions of Cleopatra since 1450, including Fifteenth century illustrations in German and French copies of Giovanni Boccaccio's work 'On The Lives of Famous Women'. CONCLUSIONS The difficulty of unambiguously identifying images of Cleopatra has undoubtedly reduced the value of the exhibition. Very few of the exhibits have any definite connection to the figure that the exhibition claims to be able to explode myths about, and therefore it's difficult to draw any decent conclusions about the figure from the pieces on display. There are, admittedly, some impressive statues, not least of which is the striking basalt figure of Cleopatra which appears on the posters promoting the exhibition. However
, overall, the most interesting exhibits have little direct connection to Cleopatra - such as the discoveries from the archaeological digs of the city of Alexandria, or the busts of Emperor Augustus. The exhibition space itself is embarrassingly cramped, and far too many visitors are allowed in during each time period. Staff in the exhibition know nothing about the pieces which are on display, which means that it's difficult to get any questions that should occur to you while touring the exhibition answered. For example, I noticed that none of the busts of Cleopatra bore the dual crown of the two lands of Egypt - and would have liked to know why she was never depicted wearing it, especially when statues of other Egyptian rulers, in the Egyptian galleries of the Museum, were. The ultimate disappointment is that despite the high price of admission to the gallery, I still don't feel that I can conclude whether Cleopatra was a highly sensual woman who was genuinely attracted to some of the Roman Empire's best known figures, or a manipulative harpy who used her incredible beauty to bend men to her will. Given that this was one of the main stated aims of the exhibition, it strikes me as something of a failure. --- A few of the exhibitions from the exhibition can be seen on the museum's 'Compass' webpage at http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/compass/ along with highlights from the museum's collections and other temporary exhibitions.


text: LEXINGTON, Mass., July 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Curis, Inc. (Nasdaq:CRIS), an oncology-focused drug development company seeking to develop novel drug candidates for the treatment of human cancers, today announced that the European Commission has granted conditional approval to Erivedge ® (vismodegib) for the treatment of adult patients with symptomatic metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC) or locally advanced BCC inappropriate for surgery or radiotherapy. This conditional approval makes Erivedge the first licensed treatment in Europe for patients with advanced BCC, a rare form of skin cancer which can be disfiguring, debilitating and even fatal. "We are extremely pleased that Erivedge will now be available as the first approved medicine in the European Union (EU) for patients with advanced basal cell carcinoma, a serious medical condition," stated Dan Passeri, Curis' Chief Executive Officer. "Roche's development and commercialization efforts have significantly expanded global patient access and the market opportunity for Erivedge, with regulatory approvals for Erivedge in the United States, Switzerland, Australia, Israel, South Korea, Mexico, and Ecuador, in addition to the EU. We expect that Roche will seek approval of Erivedge in several other territories and anticipate that these efforts will continue to expand the number of patients that will have access to this important medicine in the near future." The European Commission granted the conditional approval based upon the positive recommendation received in April this year from the Committee of Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The European Commission's decision will be applicable to all 28 European Union member states. As a result of this conditional approval, Curis earned a $6 million milestone payment from Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, and will continue to be entitled to receive royalties on future sales of Erivedge. Roche is responsible for commercializing Erivedge in the EU. A conditional marketing authorization is granted to medicinal products with a positive benefit/risk assessment that satisfy an unmet medical need and whose availability would result in a significant public health benefit. Under the provisions of the conditional approval, Roche is expected to provide additional data on Erivedge in advanced BCC from an ongoing global safety study.

'Walking on Water' Shares the Importance of Study Abroad Programs
According to the international Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, the rate of students going abroad is expected to increase by 12 percent every year. This number becomes relevant when one realizes the rise in quality and number of study abroad programs around the world.
Author Eleanor Goodall has a thorough understanding of the value of study abroad and world travel in general. Her new book, "Walking on Water," follows a young college girl as she studies in Venice and falls in love with a foreign land.
"Every year my husband and I take one of our grandchildren anywhere in the world they want to go," Goodall said, "we've been to Italy multiple times and my granddaughter especially loved Venice."
"Walking on Water" is inspired by Goodall's granddaughter's experiences with study abroad as she falls in love with the opportunity to learn a new language and culture, meet people from all over the world and even just sample new foods or drinks.
"The world today is one massive global society," Goodall said, "if we want our children to succeed we need to encourage them to see other parts of the world and what better time to do so than when they're young and open-minded."
With so many great study abroad opportunities available in schools around the world, Goodall just hopes her book will encourage people to try them.

Minneapolis Target Corp. has acquired the Smith & Hawken brand and other intellectual property from Smith & Hawken, a subsidiary of The Scotts Co. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The retailer already sells Smith & Hawken's outdoor furniture, gardening and decor products through an exclusive line, which has been available at stores since 2006.
"We believe the Smith & Hawken brand complements our existing portfolio of owned brands," said Target's executive VP merchandising Kathee Tesija.
The acquisition of the high-end gardening products brand sets up the retailer to expand that line.
Scotts said in July 2009 it planned to close the 56-store chain by the end of the year, after failing to find a buyer for the unit. The lawn-care company bought Smith & Hawken for $68.5 million in 2004.

5. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Year released: 2009 Overall U.S. box office gross: $402.1 million Yes, the Transformers were a Marvel comics property at one point, but these films have as much to do with those books as they had to do with the Hasbro ( HAS) toys and animated film from the '80s. Sure, Optimus Prime's voice is the same and some of the throwback elements made it into the first installment, but this sequel had a tough time keeping Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox onscreen, never mind a few decades' worth of nostalgia. This is where the Transformers series pivots from a human tale featuring CGI machines and deep bass sound effects to a bunch of computer animation fighting onscreen almost nonstop and enough bass drops to blow out lesser theaters' speakers. The Transformers series' take would never be this big again, but it in 2009, it was enough to bludgeon Harry Potter, Up, The Hangover and Star Trek into submission.

Hrmm, how about this: dmsetup info will call save_stats so that the superblock gets written with the freshest hit/miss counts, and I'll create a new dmsetup message command that actually flushes everything out? --D

2011 Ultimate Classic Rock Awards: Album of the Year
In the second category of our inaugural annual Ultimate Classic Rock Awards, we're asking you to vote for the best album released by a classic rock band during 2011. This is obviously a serious responsibility, and we're hoping you sit down and really think out your decision, as you'll only get to vote once.
We already ran down our Top 10 Albums of 2011, but there's no reason you've got to line up with us, and judging from the healthy Facebook discourse which followed that story, it's clear many of you did not. In fact, your comments got Journey onto the final ballot in this category for their 'Eclipse' album.
They are joined by, in no particular order: 'Fly From Here' by Yes, Chickenfoot's 'III,' 'In Your Dreams' from Stevie Nicks, the Cars' 'Move Like This,' and Alice Cooper's 'Welcome 2 My Nightmare.' Which one deserves to be called the album of the year? It's up to your votes!
As we mentioned at the start, you only get one shot at this, so ponder carefully, maybe revisit all the albums with a nice drink over the next few weeks. Or just vote now, your choice! You have until 11:59 PM EST on Jan. 1, 2012 to make your selection, and we'll announce the winners on Tuesday, Jan. 3.
You can also vote for the 2011 Ultimate Classic Rock Award for "Tour of the Year" right over here.

i used yesterday first time for, it burnt my face after 10 minutes washed my face then my whole face turned red after 30 minutes its became ok not normal but next morning their were dark spots on my face...
so plz never use garlic who have sensitive skin..
I've been using garlic for a while now, as you can see from my previous posts. It works pretty well in the beginning but as time went by it seemed to stop working altogether. Basically, my mother told me my face looked worse than it ever had and that now I smelt funny. I stopped using it and went on a three day apple detox. That cleared up my skin for about a week or two and now everything seems to be coming back. So yeah.... not much luck there.
it works.i previously read about using garlic on the internet for acne, but i was scared to try it cos i read also it burns, and the bad odour, so i searched for another option, then , it will be raw apple cider vinegar. ok, so i went to the grocery store, and saw only distilled apple cider, which i could not put on my face.
to cut the long story short, i crushed the half clove of garlic, put in somewarm water to bring out the juice, and then added some natural honey to be sure i will never get burnt. and honey is also good on the skin.i will keep using it.
Do NOT use it overnight for sensitive skins. Unless your skin is less sensitive, feel free to use it overnight or u will end up with a garlic burn scar and its not a pretty sight to see. Use it for 5-20minutes for sensitive skins everyday for a week. It should work. Make sure u rinse and wash it thoroughly. Best to be continued with skin toner and moisturizer such as olive oil or maybe your own skin products.
It actaully works. But you have to make sure you do it right!
keep it on for 45 seconds, wash it off, be happy..it works :)
I've been using garlic for, what? going on three weeks now. I apply it topically to all of my face. I cut each clove into pieces and then run it over my skin. I leave the juice on over night, wash my face in the morning, apply the juice again, wait 20 minutes and then rinse it off. Also, every morning I cut up a large clove and swollow the pieces. I repeat this at night. It works wonderfully but if I don't stay consistent all of my progress is lost. I'm going to buy garlic suppliments to see if that helps. I want to stop doing this topically because of the smell and how long I spend applying it each day. Also, no one has any information on the possible long term effects of this. Wish me luck. I'll keep ya updated.
my face was starting to clear up JUST a little and then all of a sudden it exploded again the day before i had a date. i was desperate, and when i looked online i found the garlic cure.
i was really nervous because i didnt want to get burns, but luckily i didn't have any trouble there. before bed, i cut a large clove in half and ate one half (OH, SPICY) and used the other to dab my face in problem areas, then rinsed my face thoroughly when it started to tingle. i put neosporin on my face overnight (just in case!) and was really pleasantly surprised in the morning.
my face looks like a normal person's!! this is really exciting for me, because even expensive things like proactiv have never worked for me AT ALL. and garlic is so cheap! eat THAT, proactiv.
after eating some, i could see how leaving it on your face for long periods might burn you, tho i didnt have any trouble. i'd say: be sparing- you can always re-apply if you dont have enough, but once you're burned,
I use the Eminence line at home, and it is expensive! I have moderate cystic acne, and the expensive products have yet to show any visible progress on the severity of the acne, and I use it to the "t". They have a masque with Garlic and Tomato, so I thought I would research Garlic in general since I know of its naturopathic benefit. Last night I tried it, and it has worked right away in clearing my skin. It has not gone away, but the elevations of the cysts have diminished, the redness is paling, and the overall feel is less "infected". We will see if it keeps others from coming up.
I rubbed half a clove onto my clean, dry skin and let it sit for 5 minutes, no more. The burning sensation soon subsided, and i was left pink in those areas. (I only rubbed it on the acne itself). After, I rinsed with lukewarm water, and patted dry with a CLEAN towel and followed with my normal routine, organic spray toner, and moisturizer on the rest of my non-active skin before bed.We'll see how it go
i applied crushed garlic on my face & kept it overnight. It burnt like hell but i thought it was normal. When i woke up in morning there was a big black spot like a burn on my cheek,it was quite large & it looks horrible. Now its been like 45 days but the scar is still clearly visible & its darkbrown in color. Dont know what to do. Dont know what to tell people when they ask about the scar. Doc told it will go but the healing process is very slow. Let the pimple heal on their own it will only keep scar for few days. but if u get garlic burn scar it will take months to heal. DONT EVER USE GARLIC LIKE I DID, IT WILL SPOIL UR FACE. TRUST ME

Berlin, 1940. The city is paralysed by fear.
But one man refuses to be scared.
Otto, an ordinary German living in a shabby apartment block, tries to stay out of trouble under Nazi rule. But when he discovers his only son has been killed fighting at the front he's shocked into an extraordinary act of resistance, and starts to drop anonymous postcards attacking Hitler across the city. If caught, he will be executed.
Soon this silent campaign comes to the attention of ambitious Gestapo inspector Escherich, and a murderous game of cat-and-mouse begins. Whoever loses, pays with their life.
'First published in Germany in 1947 and evoking the horror of life in Germany in the Second World War. A rediscovered masterpiece that makes you want to seek out more works by this great chronicler of events in my own lifetime.' Barry Humphries, Books of the Year, Sunday Telegraph
'Extraordinary ...... redemptive ...... as morally powerful as anything I've ever read' Charlotte Moore, Daily Telegraph
'One of the most extraordinary and compelling novels written about World War II. Ever' Alan Furst
About the Author
Hans Fallada was one of the best-known German writers of the twentieth century. Born in 1893 in Greifswald as Rudolf Wilhelm Adolf Ditzen, he took his pen name from a Brothers Grimm fairy tale. His most famous works include the novels Little Man, What Now? and The Drinker. Fallada died from an overdose of morphine on 5 February 1947 in Berlin. Michael Hofmann is the author of several books of poems and a book of criticism, Behind the Lines, and the translator of many modern and contemporary authors. Penguin publish his translations of Kafka's Metamorphosis and Other Stories and Irmgard Keun's Child of All Nations.
Fallada assembles a cast of vivid low-life characters, stoolies, thieves and whores -- James Buchan * Guardian * Visceral, chilling ... has the suspense of a Le Carre novel * New Yorker * A classic study of a paranoid society. Fallada's scope is extraordinary. Alone in Berlin is ... as morally powerful as anything I've ever read -- Charlotte Moore * Telegraph * First published in Germany in 1947 and evoking the horror of life in Germany in the Second World War. A rediscovered masterpiece that makes you want to seek out more works by this great chronicler of events in my own lifetime. * Barry Humphries, Books of the Year, Sunday Telegraph * The other fictional high point of 2009 was Alone in Berlin ... Hans Fallada's 1947 portrait of an ordinary German couple stung into a life of protest by the death of their soldier son is harrowing and masterly. -- David Robson * Books of the Year, Sunday Telegraph * [This novel] suggests that resistance to evil is rarely straightforward, mostly futile, and generally doomed. Yet to the novel's aching, unanswered question: 'Does it matter?' there is in this strange and compelling story to be found a reply in the affirmative. Primo Levi had it right: This is the great novel of German resistance. -- Richard Flanagan 'What Irene Nemirovsky's "Suite Francaise" did for wartime France after six decades in obscurity, Fallada does for wartime Berlin.' * Roger Cohen, New York Times * '[Alone in Berlin] has something of the horror of Conrad, the madness of Dostoyevsky and the chilling menace of Capote's "In Cold Blood"'. * Roger Cohen, New York Times * 'Fallada's great novel, beautifully translated by the poet Michael Hofmann, evokes the daily horror of life under the Third Reich, where the venom of Nazism seeped into the very pores of society, poisoning every aspect of existence. It is a story of resistance, sly humour and hope' -- Ben Macintyre * The Times * 'an extraordinary novel' * Daily Express * A marvellous book, almost a masterpiece. The tension he maintains despite a fogegone conclusion is miraculous. This is the truest, most vivid I-was-there novel of the epoch. * Norman Lebrecht * The stand-out book this year for me was Alone in Berlin (Penguin Classics GBP9.99) ... It's a page-turning moral thriller, based on fact, of a -working-class German -couple and their small-scale attempts to resist Nazi rule in Berlin. Bleak, chilling, utterly compelling and unforgettable. -- Pugh * Books of the Year, Daily Mail * Penguin's reissue of Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin, brilliantly translated by Michael Hofmann, makes available one of the great novels of the past century. An almost unbearably intense challenge to its readers. -- George Steiner * Books of the Year, TLS * What makes Alone in Berlin such a cracking read is that it pushes us into the midst of that grim reality and yet allows us to put it down - only at the very end - with a feeling of warm humanity. -- Peter Millar * The Times * Hans Fallada wrote Alone in Berlin between September and November 1946, in postwar East Germany. He told his family that he had written "a great novel". He would die a few months later. .... Fallada was correct: he had written a great book, in circumstances and a space of time which make the achievement almost miraculous. But it's the double miracle of translation which gives us Fallada's novel in English as Alone in Berlin. Michael Hoffman is a fine poet, whose acute ear and eloquent understanding of the transition-points between the two languages make the text as powerful as it is down-to-earth. -- Helen Dunmore * Guardian *

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Let me explain. I'll use the sports equipment analogy to describe what I see, because my terms kind of fit that type of organization.
Say I have an overall generic Sports Equipment campaign, plus I have several specific campaigns for Football Equipment, Hockey Equipment, Soccer Equipment, and so on.
Each of these has a number of even more specific ad groups, keywords, and includes all three match types, and each has ads very precisely targeted to their particular keywords (or sport)
So now I run a Search Query Report for Sports Equipment ad group in the Sports Equipment Campaign, and see a large number of broad match impressions/clicks for the term Football Equipment.
Now, my Football Equipment campaign actually has a higher daily budget, a higher maximum CPC, ads targeted specifically to Football Equipment (as opposed to the more generic Sports Equipment) and all three match types for the term Football Equipment.
So *why* would Google show my Sports Equipment ads for the Football Equipment search terms?
It's not that I object to getting clicks at a lower CPC, but the ads aren't going to be as targeted, so maybe I'm missing clicks - the click through rate is pretty low.
Do I need to add my own keywords from one campaign as negatives to another campaign, to kind of sculpt the impressions & clicks into the right sport? They're all listed as "great" QS, so that's not a concern, but I wonder if I try this if I risk somehow losing something in the cracks - maybe Google knows something I don't (no doubt there)
I am confused and disoriented.
Actually, one reason just occurred to me - maybe my Football Equipment was close to budget. I'll have to check that, and run the Search Query report on that one too.
Regarding the budget, that�s another issue I�ve always had with Google AdWords � never clear enough with at which percentage the system starts slowing down the campaign. I always pick �accelerated� and see that at the budget of $150 my campaign sometimes (not always) stops showing ads at the spend of around $50. I increase the budget to $250 and they are back into the space.
Why bother about budget if it works in this silly way?
Back to broad match, yesterday I had this case: Group 1 was phrase and Group 2 broad match, same keyword, one only. Bid was the same, ad text the same. Broad was �rocking� and phrase had no impressions.
The way how I look into broad match is � supplemental to exact and phrase, and a tool for discovering new good and bad keywords.
Technically, I would expect the system to ALWAYS �grab� keywords in this order:
So, if max bid on exact match is $1 and max bid on broad match is $3, you (Google AdWords) pick the exact match, forget broad, period.
As far as I know, it does NOT work that way. The latest that I've heard is that Google will use the keyword/ad combination in the Ad Group that is getting the highest CTR. If the broad match keyword is getting a higher CTR, Google will continue to send impressions to the broad match keyword instead of the exact match. Bids may also factor in though I'm less certain of that.
I've heard one way of getting around these issues is embedded match:
eWhisper has more here:
But hey, what do I know.
Technically, I would expect the system to ALWAYS �grab� keywords in this order:
If that is no longer how the system works, Google should update the support pages.
Holy Shmoly! What do we do now?
The system is supposed to work in one way, but it actually works in the totally opposite one. How come? Does this have anything to do with relatively recent system update in regards of expanded broad match?
I have a feeling that the system had worked in EXPECTED way about year ago or so and farther back. I base this on the overall cost increase.
Should we think that CPC cost increase we are all experiencing lately (increase that has made many campaigns simply unprofitable) is directly connected to the changes which have been brining �alien� ads based on their broad match?
To remind you about my late experience:
As a new addition to this last link, I can confirm that I just had another case where many affiliates have stopped advertising on branded term due to the changes proposed by the owner.
Suddenly ads that have never been in the space started showing up below (guess which) position #1.
The only connection is that half of the branded keyword (built from two words, generating one word only) has to do with what those totally unrelated ads are about.
Going back to Netmeg�s original statement � It looks like Google AdWords has �tweaked� the money making machine so it fills in the gaps to ensure �predicted� CPC for each keyword.
In other words, our current position is:
You�re not getting away, we�ll (Google AdWords) get you pay what we�ve calculated you should.
IMO, that's the main driver for having broad match showing over exact.
I used embedded match long ago when my account rep (at that time) warned me I had negative keyword that was matching my phrase. I explained my logics and she said "Oh, OK" :o.
I wasn�t even aware of any existing official documentation that would support it, but entered it based on my intuition.
Also, I�ve always used lots of negative keywords in any campaign where broad or phrase was used.
But� but� that is all like you put a band aid onto a leaking pot if you use it to fix broad vs. exact.
Negatives are to ensure your ad will not show onto certain keywords, not to ensure your exact will take precedence over your broad match.
EXACT is to ALWAYS take PRECEDENCE. There is no logics to support any other way (except being public company ;) ).
We've also seen instances where you might have a campaign for soccer that taps out the budget but the football campaign has not reached its budget. Broad match keywords in the football campaign will sometimes start showing for terms that are in the soccer campaign that have stopped delivering due to budget constraints.
I have another campaign where I've got the most likely exact match down to a science, however this other profitable campaign needs some broadmatches since I can never be sure how people will phrase their queries.
Lately I've been seeing some truly weird, totally irrevelant queries coming from Adwords. Only one word will match any term included in my broad match keywords and they're totally off the mark. I mean totally! No amount of negative keywords can fight these off! big red widgets will show for queries that include only the common words "big" or "red".
Fortunately, I'm not seeing too many yet, but fear I may have just been "lucky" or this is the beginning of an experiment ;)
While I was never a fan of the "expanded broad match" since computer still cannot "think", I read a month back or so of the even scarier Ultra Extended Broad Match which sounds like it could be a killer.
It was in Beta then and supposedly advertisers would receive an email if chosen as victims. There was also talk that it would be an "opt out" rather than an "opt in" -- even scarier.
Has that made it out of Beta yet? Does that explain the truly useless queries I'm seeing in my logs?
I'd expect to see a red box alerting us if this went live.
I just keep getting more and more paranoid about Adwords enhancements and correspondingly cut my spend this year to 1/4 of what it was.
I want that Adwords traffic, but the lack of transparency makes me leary of any Adwords experimentation. My most recent well researched, well targeted efforts were a disaster.
Funny how years ago when I knew nothing, I was guaranteed 100%+ returns from Adwords. Now that I've grown more "sophisticated", I'm hard pressed to keep my head above water with Adwords.
Hard to see how that's any good for anyone except Google stockholders of which I'm not one. I opted to buy stock in the other two players...
Those other 2 PPCs out there are actively courting my business by phone and freely answer questions and the spend is next to nothing compared with Google's "surprises".
Appreciate any input as I simply can't read every Adwords alert or follow every Adwords blog to get the latest news. Especially since I'm experimenting carefully with the other two major (?) PPCs. They're bringing in conversions too despite their alleged minor market share!
I have a feeling in the Google explanation page listed above, when Google says 'identical'; it also means an identical quality score. That's the only way that help page seems to make sense with reality.
...and I'd say that while that *would* make Google's explanation acceptable/legit, no reasonable interpretation of 'identical' in that sentence would lead us to that end point.
Do I need to add my own keywords from one campaign as negatives to another campaign, to kind of sculpt the impressions & clicks into the right sport? They're all listed as "great" QS, so that's not a concern, but I wonder if I try this if I risk somehow losing something in the cracks - maybe Google knows something I don't (no doubt there)
I do this. I have broad groups and I have exact match groups. I use all of my exact matches as negatives in my broad groups. It isn't working out as well as I hoped. For certain keywords it works really well, but others keywords don't seem to get the right amount of impressions. AND SURPRISINGLY they seem to cost more! The up side, is I get to write a very targeted ad.
[edited by: JustGirl at 12:32 pm (utc) on April 11, 2008]
An example would be if you are bidding on a brand name using broad. Google with match legitimate "branded terms" but it will also match to related competitors' names and products. As you add negatives, you'll see the impressions on the broad match go down. Some are distributed correctly to their exact term (you add newly matched terms from the original broad term to the account as Exact), while others are eliminated (like competitor terms if you choose not to bid on them).
This continuous process should help increase CTR (by getting rid of "extra" impressions and the proper ad creative for the term), which improves QS which lowers CPC, which increases ROI and everyone is happy!
Please note also that AdWords with different campaigns for example hotels and bed and breakfast with keyword broad match: when daily budget in hotel campaign finishes Google will "extend" the search and will publish ads from bed and breakfast instead of hotel.
Of course also the published ads is taken from bed and breakfast campaigns...

Despite what most people think, deep, dark circles under your eyes are not primarily caused by being tired or stressed. Actually, the dark circles are caused by capillaries that leak blood close to the skin's surface. When this blood begins to oxidize it turns a bluish red color, similar to an ugly bruise.

It's unknown what they're going to work on, but conventional wisdom suggests it'll be involving Hibbert developing a post game. His offensive output was a disaster down the stretch and he couldn't even score effectively from within three feet. He'll have to impress for a couple months before the NBA world changes its mind on his offensive ineptitude.

Bettman updates Coyotes situation, says NHL has bounced back
Gary Bettman and Bill Daly updated the 'state of the union' before Game 1, giving updates on the continuing saga with the Coyotes and more.
More NHL Playoffs: Scores | TV Schedule | Expert Picks | Odds | Mock Draft | Rumors
CHICAGO -- NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly had their annual state of the union session with the media prior to Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final and once again the major topic of conversation surrounded the situation in Phoenix with the Coyotes.
"Obviously we're getting to the point where some decisions are going to have to be made both by the city of Glendale and by us," Bettman said of the lingering ownership uncertainty. "I haven't set a timeline but time is running shorter.
"It's been a complicated process. In our minds we understand we're dealing with a time frame but a specific day isn't going to do it. But time is getting short. This is really going to be a decision that the city of Glendale is going to have to make."
Neither Bettman nor Daly would commit to the team remaining in Arizona for next season but did continue to reiterate the desire is for the team to remain where it is.
If the team were to not play in Arizona next season, they weren't ready to answer where they might play ... or if they would play at all.
"There are a number of markets that have expressed interest to us over the years and our phone keeps ringing the longer the Coyotes situation goes unresolved," Bettman said.
I don't want to begin a process, particularly publicly to where there is going to be a lot of speculation to where the team might go if it moved," Bettman said. "That would unfairly raise expectations in places and I don't want to do that to those communities."
As to a possible hiatus for the franchise, Bettman went into full-on lawyer mode without actually shooting the idea down.
"There are a myriad of options and we're not prepared to engage in speculation about what the optionality is. The focus, at least for the time being, remains on having the Coyotes be in Arizona. Obviously we'll have lots of choices and decisions and if we get to that time -- hopefully we won't -- we'll focus on which one is the best."
This has been a thorn in the NHL's side for a long time and Bettman made it sound as if this was possibly close to coming to a head, one way or another. But still, it could drag on even longer -- and would anybody really be surprised if it did?
Just to be clear, though, the NHL remains committed to the team not moving. Why this undying devotion to the desert?
"We try to avoid franchise relocation. We don't think it's right to the fans, we don't think it's fair to communities that build you buildings," Bettman explained. "We're going to try to preserve what's in place."
And, the league still believes it could be a good market.
This franchise could actually be successful from a business standpoint. We've seen what the fan base will do with all the uncertainty, we understand the dynamics from the community. If there were certainty surrounding this franchise, its virtues would improve dramatically and immediately just by putting in a new owner."
The next benchmarks in this long, drawn-out tale will come June 25 when the city of Glendale meets and then two days later the NHL Board of Governors will gather. In his own sly way, Bettman indicated a decision could be necessary by that time.
As for the rest of the press conference:
• On the NHL's strength coming out of the lockout:
The revenues for the shortened season, in which the NHL only played 58 percent of its regular season, were expected to be higher than average, though Bettman said those numbers were not yet final. Despite only getting slightly more than half of the season in, Bettman said the league expects to have taken in more money than it normally would in 58 percent of its games.
The NHL's buildings were at 97 percent capacity league-wide this season and at 100 percent capacity for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, according to Bettman. With a long-term agreement in place between the NHL and NHLPA and at least 10 years of labor peace ahead, Bettman said the league will remain focused on growing the game.
• On NHL participation in the Olympics:
Time is running short on this issue as national team training camps are often held in August. Based on the comments from deputy commissioner Daly, it sounds as though the holdup is tied mainly to the more trying logistics of the Olympics location in Sochi, Russia. Additionally it appears the NHLPA may have more issues with the current state of negotiations than the league does currently.
Once the Olympic issue is settled, which Daly admitted is taking longer than he anticipated, the NHL and NHLPA will convene to discuss its international hockey ventures, including a potential future World Cup of Hockey, and will examine NHL player participation in the IIHF World Championship.
• On concussions:
Bettman and Daly revealed that concussions on a per-game basis were down slightly this year. The commissioner reiterated that player safety remains a "vitally important" issue for the league and it will continue to devote energy and resources to curtailing concussions.
• On next season's schedule: "The schedule is going to be a little later than prior years. It's a function of the shorter season this year, it's partly a fuction of the Olympics process, it's partly a function of Phoenix. So I expect the schedule some time in July." -- Bill Daly
• The NHL has decided on names for the divisions in next year's alignment but they aren't going to reveal them yet.
• Bettman praised the officials, admitting that nobody is perfect but they think the officials have been good, using the word "consistent" to describe their performance this potseason.
• And yes, Bettman will still do the Cup ceremony.

The Simpsons: Road Rage
Review by Kerek
"Dont run over Milhouse!"
Ah what can we say? Finally a company produces a Simpson game that doesn't deserve to be destroyed. They finally make a game we can play and enjoy. This game has lots of the characters in it from the show and lots of cool sightings you can see driving around Springfield.
Cartoons! Thats all you really need to say, isnt it? I mean the graphics take advantage of the Gamecubes power and dont delay. Although I would love to see true Simpsons cartoon style in a game, this isnt bad. 3D models of the Simpsons is what we get hear, all good.
Graphics are cartoony 3D, nice touch: 8/10
The sound is good stuff. Lots of noises and beeps to keep you tuned in, and each of the characters slur their sayings at you as you pick them up and drive them off. All the voices are the real deal, real good.
Characters have their real voices and exclusive lines for the game..: 8/10
Basically its the same controls as Crazy Taxi. Easy for anybody to pick up and get playing. Takes about 5 minutes to learn all the buttons and start playing.
Once you dive into the game a bit more you learn more braking and such, but its a pretty easy ''pick up and go'' title.
Gameplay is what everyone should expect, easy: 7/10
There is a lot of stuff to unlock and find in this game. Lots of secret characters to unlock and hidden ''tracks'' so to say. You unlock them pretty straight foward. They also included a time feature where on certain days you will be greeted with a super special character..... good implementation here.
Lots to keep you busy, get out the coffee: 9/10
Lasting Appeal/Overall:
If you are a Simpsons fan, as we all should be, you should love this title. Pick it up. If you dont really like the Simpsons and have played Crazy Taxi you wont find much new here. Its basically a step ahead of that series. I'd say rent it first, or if you got some spare change, buy it. You probably wont be upset about this decision. There is a lot of really cool Simpson stuff in this game, and its about time. After that Simpson Wrestling title, anything would be better but this surely is A LOT better. Characters say their trademark catchphrases and quirks, and they even have some exclusive lines not heard on the show.
Simpsons fan? Buy. If not, rent it: 8/10
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

Time to re-Joyce: Rays walk off in extras
Smyly allows just two runs over 5 2/3 frames but gets no-decision
ST. PETERSBURG -- When the ball took off from Matt Joyce's bat, Yoenis Cespedes didn't even bother trying to go catch it.
Joyce lifted a walk-off single to left field with the bases loaded and one out in the 10th inning Monday, as the Rays beat the Red Sox, 4-3, at Tropicana Field. The ball was probably catchable, but it would have gone for a sacrifice fly anyway.
"[I wanted to] hit the ball in the air to left field, preferably far enough to where Cespedes couldn't throw the guy out," Joyce said, laughing. "But he's got such a good arm -- you never know with that guy."
Ryan Hanigan led off the 10th inning against Boston reliever Burke Badenhop and smoked a ball into the left-field corner, diving into second just ahead of Cespedes' perfect strike. Red Sox manager John Farrell challenged the call, but following a review, the call on the field stood.
"I was already committed to going," Hanigan said of testing Cespedes' notorious arm. "But hey, we got a call, and it looked like I got [my hand] in there -- at least a tie -- so I think it was the right move, and it set us up to get a guy in scoring position for that W."
After an intentional walk to Kevin Kiermaier, Ben Zobrist bunted over the runners, leading to another intentional walk of Wil Myers. Then Joyce delivered the game-winner.
"That's a tough moment to be in, in a sense, because Badenhop throws so many ground balls," manager Joe Maddon said. "And I understand why they chose to walk Kiermaier. They had that all planned out -- we're going to bunt Ben, they're going to walk Wil, go for the double play. Totally got it, but I still liked that it got to the point of Matt Joyce."
It was the Rays' third walk-off win against the Red Sox this season -- they did it in back-to-back games on May 23-24. The May 24 contest was also the last time they walked off any game.
On Monday, the Rays' offense wasn't pretty -- again -- and the starting pitching was -- again -- but Tampa Bay managed to scrounge up just enough runs to salvage a split in its four-game series against the Red Sox.
The Rays had just finished a 13-16 August despite their pitching staff posting a 2.87 ERA -- an accurate, and not very flattering, reflection on the team's hitting. Playing its first game of September, in need of a magical run to even sniff the postseason, Tampa Bay got more of the same, and was fortunate enough to come away with a win.
The Rays also won despite squandering a 3-2 lead in the eighth inning when they went to a September callup over their closer to face the middle of the Sox's order.
Steve Geltz hadn't pitched in the big leagues since 2012 when he got the call Monday with the tying run on second, two outs and Cespedes at the plate.
Jake McGee was also ready to go, but Geltz got the call, and on a 3-2 pitch, Cespedes laced the game-tying single through the left side.
That left Drew Smyly with a no-decision, even though he continued his strong run to start his Rays career, limiting the Red Sox to two runs on three hits over 5 2/3 innings and striking out seven. The only damage against him came on Mookie Betts' two-out RBI double in the third and Mike Napoli's solo home run in the fourth.
Red Sox starter Rubby De La Rosa, on the other hand, didn't quite shine so brightly as he did the last time he faced the Rays in his season debut on May 31.
In that game -- which came during Tampa Bay's 1-14 stretch that buried the club at the bottom of the Major Leagues, a season-high 18 games under .500 -- De La Rosa baffled the Rays over seven scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and striking out eight.
This time, the Rays strung together a three-run third inning off De La Rosa. With one out and two runners aboard, Myers, who had been hitting .143 since returning from the disabled list but went 3-for-4 Monday, lofted an RBI double into the right-field corner. After Joyce struck out, Evan Longoria laced a line drive through the middle, plating two more.
But that was all the offense the Rays got until the 10th, when they finally broke through to avoid another low-scoring loss.
Like the Rays, the Red Sox had their closer waiting in the wings, as Koji Uehara would have pitched the next inning, manager John Farrell said. But, like Maddon, he elected to hold his man back, as Boston is out of playoff contention.
"Given where we are at this part of the season, I'm not going to bring him in in a tie game on the road," Farrell said. "We had handled Joyce well to that point, and really in the series against right-handers, and were looking for him to put the ball on the ground."
Joyce got it into the air, though, and reminded the Rays of what a walk-off celebration feels like.
"It's nice to know that we can do it again," Joyce said. "We remembered tonight."

The Amicus and GMB trade unions had accused the firm of a "vindictive attack" by planning to cut union officials posts.
Union leaders threatened more industrial action if the proposal was not withdrawn.
On Thursday, BNFL withdrew the plans and said it would consider the posts at the next review of employee relations.
Pay deal
Thousands of workers at the nuclear reprocessing plant in Cumbria staged a series of strikes at the end of last year in a row over the pay gap between white collar workers and manual staff.
It was the first time in almost 30 years that the plant workers had staged a walkout.
Last month, union members voted 6 -1 in favour of a deal that would see shift bonus rates for workers harmonised by October 2006.
On Wednesday evening, Amicus warned that if the proposals to cut the number of representatives from 11 to four were not withdrawn, then it and the GMB would hold another ballot for industrial action.
BNFL had claimed it was reducing the number of officials from eight to six, following a review that began before the pay dispute.
But the firm agreed with the national officers to consider the Sellafield trade union posts at the forthcoming review of employee relations at the site.

Sewer project for Brandon lakes area is under review
Citing engineering, cost, and financing issues, the Central Lakes Region Sanitary District board voted to send Phase II of the sewer project back to the engineers to again review the options for sewage and waste water management around the Brandon Township lakes of Chippewa, Whiskey, and Devils.
The board took the action at a special meeting Monday night.
The sewer project in Brandon Township was costly compared to Phase I (Lobster Lake) and Phase III (Miltona and Irene), according to Pat Conroy, general manager of CLRSD.
"Before we commit to long term financing we are going to ask the engineers to once again review all options and cost estimates," Conroy said in a news release.
Conroy added that CLRSD board has been concerned for some time about Phase II.
"As final financing decisions drew close, the board did its fiduciary duty in calling for this review," he said.
"To be clear," explained Conroy, "CLRSD is not abandoning the lakes of Brandon Township. The lakes of Brandon Township are part of the sanitary district by state law and Brandon Township Board of Supervisors' action."
Conroy added that it remains the responsibility of CLRSD to find a long-term solution to waste water management in the district.
"This is only a fiscally responsible delay and we hope a short delay for Brandon Township," Conroy said.
"The action in no way impacts Phase I [Lobster Lake] or Phase III [Miltona and Irene]," Conroy emphasized.
Conroy added that the CLRSD board is most confident in the plans for those phases of the project. Phase I is awaiting release of funding expected in September and Phase III is awaiting the MPCA permit for the construction of the waste water treatment plant on the Long Prairie River.
The final public comment period expired August 14 and the final step is a citizen review panel.
Once the funding is released for Phase I and the MPCA permit is in hand for Phase III, construction bids will be solicited, Conroy said.

The Bay Area's microchip industry had a tough year in 2012, suffering a 5.5 percent year-over-year drop in sales and a plunge in profits of nearly 38 percent.
The fiscal stumble wasn't unprecedented for the sector, which is comprised of dozens of corporations ranging from such prominent names as Intel (INTC), Advanced Micro Devices and Cypress Semiconductor to the lesser-known Micrel, InvenSense and Exar. The industry's sales fell about 15 percent in 2009, 8 percent in 2008, 6 percent in 2002 and 25 percent during the 2001 dot-com debacle.
But the sector's problems were particularly notable this time, because 2012 was generally considered a year of economic recovery and the rest of the companies that make up this newspaper's SV150 index had a combined 9 percent increase in sales last year.
About a third of the index is comprised of companies that sell chips used in everything from personal computers and smartphones to data-center servers and automobiles. Although they generated nearly $93 billion in sales in 2012, that represented a 3 percent drop from the previous year and their profit fell 32 percent to $12.6 billion.
The story was more troubling for the eight companies in the index that sell equipment for making microchips. Their $15.5 billion in sales represented a 17 percent annual decrease. Worse, their profit tumbled 73 percent to just under $800 million.
Jonathan Davis of the industry association SEMI, said supplying equipment for chip manufacturing is a highly cyclical business and 2012 happened to be a down year. But the market should brighten in 2013, he said, noting, "we're starting to see more optimistic signs in recent months in improved bookings for North American equipment makers."
Chip sellers should do better this year, too, said Linley Gwennap, an analyst with the Linley Group.
"Maybe the revenue is not going through the roof like it used to, but it's still a strong industry," he said.
