Almost everyone connected with advertising is in a funk. AD BIZ MAY NEVER BE THE SAME, says a headline in Advertising Age. “Some veteran publishers are not shy about calling it [the ad decline] a depression,” reports the industry newsletter min. Here’s why. In the first six months of 1991, ad revenues were down 14.4 percent at Newsweek, 18.5 percent at Business Week and 11 percent at TV Guide, reports the Publishers Information Bureau....
Now, the series boasts a multitude of planets inhabited by a diverse cast of characters, companies that each have a distinct personality, and an evolving narrative that keeps players in the know about what each of their favorite characters gets up to throughout the series.

Many people expect Evil Dead: The Game to combine the two major elements that so many people enjoy in the movies and show: horror and comedy. For many fans of the franchise, a major selling point beyond the gore and scares in the comedy. Many fans agree that The Evil Dead (1981) wasn’t meant to be a comedy, but some people see it as such due to the difference between eighties horror movies and those from more recent years....
Thanks to Disney+, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is seeing a huge expansion of its properties. WandaVision certainly showed the audience what the platform can offer, and The Falcon And The Winter Soldier expands on the idea. Exploring the lives of Sam Wilson and James “Bucky” Barnes in a post-Captain America world, the series is set to tackle some serious themes. That doesn’t mean the series won’t feature its share of Easter eggs....
For as long as humans can remember, every summer walrus bulls “haulout” along the beaches of Bristol Bay to sun and feed themselves in anticipation of the long winter ahead. The giant herds–there are an estimated 12,000 bulls–congregate in a corner of the Togiak National Wildlife Reserve; together they form the largest concentration of walruses on the North American mainland. Until the fall of 1994 the walruses were content to lounge along the sandy shore....
On the positive front, yes, Apple still does enjoy the lead in the tablet market. And to maintain this lead, the company will do well to focus on bringing out truly spectacular tablets. We don’t quite expect anything flamboyant in the form of the iPhone 6 that could possibly bring Samsung down, even if iOS 7 turns out to be radically different from the current version of the iOS....
From the looks of it, it seems like WWE is going ahead with their plans to have Randy Orton and Edge complete their trilogy of matches at WrestleMania 37, possibly in the main event. While one can say that the feud between Edge and Orton didn’t need the title, the company is notorious for making the blowoff of a high-profile feud a championship match. They have done it before with Goldberg vs....
CANDIDATE TURN ATTENTION TO GYRATING MARKETS (Adam Nagourney, New York Times) The weakened economy and the turmoil in financial markets have helped to cement a gradual shift in emphasis in the presidential campaign to domestic issues from national security, giving the candidates an opportunity on Tuesday to spotlight economic proposals and try to convince voters that they could handle a crisis. Even before the stock market opened the candidates were rolling out, or reintroducing, stimulus plans, speeches, television advertisements and statements that suggested how they would handle a situation like this....
“I’m too mediocre in the game!” the former Sampdoria striker joked earlier this year. Schick arrives in Turin to join Juventus Schick need not worry. By the time FIFA 18 comes out in September, his virtual persona will be significantly stronger - and playing for a much stronger club. Schick’s sensational first season in Serie A attracted the interest of several top sides over Europe.

While the Dancer of the Boreal Valley doesn’t have to be challenged right at the start of the game, this opportunity can completely change a playthrough of Dark Souls 3 by making several rewards available right from the start. Beyond the ability to encounter the boss early, the Dancer is also a solid boss that acts as a proper gate to one of the FromSoftware’s best dungeons even when challenged at the intended time....
After the gameplay trailer, The Day Before has been compared to The Division, DayZ, and The Last Of Us. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Each of these games has ideas and mechanics that can be borrowed to improve The Day Before, and the comparison this game is receiving to The Last Of Us is one it should especially lean into. RELATED: The Day Before Should ‘Steal’ One Popular Feature from DayZ...
I had seen Federer live for the first time at the 2004 US Open. I had gone to Flushing Meadows, and watching Federer was the only purpose of the trip. I watched the final live when he thoroughly dominated Lleyton Hewitt 6-0, 7-6, 6-0. While the commentators were moaning about the dullness of the affair, I had absolutely no complaints about the one-sided match; in fact, I enjoyed the 6-0 sets....
In Day 1 of its broadcast on Monday night, ABC led with 2.1 million viewers, about a quarter of what the network draws nightly for its flagship news program, World News Tonight, according to Nielsen data. NBC was next with 1.9 million and CBS was third with 1.7 million. In all, 5.8 million people tuned in to the first night of the Democratic National Convention, down a whopping 50 percent from 11....
Black women have been the most loyal and reliable voting bloc for the party, and they deserved that recognition. But the second most loyal Democratic voting bloc—Black men—has not gotten the same kind of recognition, and the party’s penchant for ignoring Black men is leading to a remarkable attrition in recent years. The Democratic Party has been slow to recognize that the percentage of Black men voting for them in presidential elections had been falling since reaching an apex in 2008....
Suddenly, however, a coldly calculating Kaddafi may have figured out how to get what he has long been denied: acceptance by the community of nations. And he’s eagerly cutting a deal with “the Devil,” Washington, to do so. He’s even turning into an eager stool pigeon against his former rogue cronies, providing critical clues in the unfolding international detective story of WMD proliferation. Since Kaddafi agreed two weeks ago to dismantle his WMD program, U....

First of all, though, there is a reason why these terms both contain the word “rogue.” Rogue was a game from 1980 that pioneered the elements of most roguelike titles, and it did so thanks to several criteria that were later considered to be the staple of roguelikes. So, roguelike games do exactly what they say on the tin: they are like Rogue. First and foremost, one of the most recognizable aspects of roguelike games is permadeath....
Influenza When your healthcare provider talks about the flu, they are referring to influenza, or the seasonal flu.
