...Publish is the easiest to use but at the expense of personal creativity. Also, it allows only one photo per page. Yahoo PageWizards takes a little more time to figure out but is more useful. It prompts you for everything--pictures, text, choice of borders, background and clip art. Homestead's SiteBuilder goes further than the others, letting you organize multiple pages with a common visual theme and add maps, site counters and funky text effects. It even automatically sets up site navigation so your visitors can find their way around...
Businesses today can turn to full-service intelligence and security companies, such as PINKERTON, KROLL or CONTROL RISKS GROUP, which can do everything from evaluating a government's general stability to investigating the background of a potential business partner to managing hostage negotiations with a terrorist group.

Most unsettling, in the very close left foreground, half a woman’s out-of-focus head protrudes into the image, looking from left to right across the frame. The woman disrupts with...
...rather comic manner. Tanhehco’s piece started with a male and a female dancer (danced by Tanhehco herself) exchanging both clothing and body language, as Dar Williams’ lyrics, “I will not be afraid of women” blared in the background. The piece examined the roles that men and women are taught to play with each other, tempering the initial comedy with darker intimations of physical violence on the part of the males...
