Vancouver artist playing around with pop culture
Pop-art tributes, transformations recycle imagery to elevate, poke fun at cultural heroes

Chris Stevens' favorite formative memory, he said, is hurrying home from first grade to watch daily "Star Trek" reruns with his brother. That's when he first experienced pop-culture fandom that's really more like religion.
Long after we're all gone — maybe even centuries from now — Stevens predicts that our descendants will still be worshipping cultural icons like Mr. Spock, Princess Leia and Batman. Not only does nostalgia for certain classic stories and characters never go out of style, he said, it even broadens into mythology and legend.
The heroic epic of "Star Wars" and the multi-ethnic (make that multi-planetary) inclusiveness of "Star Trek" are themes that go deep, he noted, and never seem to stop moving people.
Stevens has spent the past decade exploring the gap between just-for-fun media fandom and faithful worship by recycling and augmenting movie and TV imagery into paintings and screen-prints that both elevate and poke fun at cultural heroes.
If you've ever felt in need of a uniquely hand-textured portrait of Lt. Uhura, or the Millennium Falcon, or even Bill Murray dolled up as The Joker (a role that seems perfect for Murray, though he's never played it), check out the upcoming First Friday opening at Angst Gallery, where Stevens' pop-art tributes and transformations will be on display.
What: "Culture Smash," featuring the art of Chris Stevens and Jacob Herring.
When: First Friday opening reception from 5 to 9 p.m. Friday. Exhibit on display through Sept. 28.
Where: Angst Gallery, 1015 Main St.

Sharing the gallery walls with Stevens' images will be works by a fellow pop-culture surrealist, cartoonist Jacob Herring of Portland.
Celebrities and soup
Stevens grew up in Boise, attended art school in Seattle and moved to Vancouver about 15 years ago, he said. He and his wife are just getting ready to leave a Salmon Creek apartment and move to a house near the Fourth Plain International District, he said.
Stevens' biggest influence was his mother, a painter always looking for artistic opportunities while managing a print shop. Stevens studied graphic design in college, waited on bars and restaurant tables after that, and eventually went into surprisingly lucrative business for himself as a T-shirt screen printer.
He did that for about a decade, he said, until technology started making it affordable for everyone to print their own T-shirts.
That's when Stevens moved into pop-art paintings and prints featuring recycled mass-media imagery that recalls the celebrity portraits and soup cans of pop art mastermind Andy Warhol — whose oddball pieces aimed to question the very meaning of art as anything more than a commodity for sale.
Stevens has dabbled with paintings and illustrations that don't reference pop culture and science fiction. But for the most part he's interested in preserving and updating famous images that he loves — and that people will want to buy.
"It's awesome to spend your time making art, but if it just piles up in the closet it's not doing anybody any good," he said.
Dad art
Who is done any good by a goofy grin from "The Dude," played by Jeff Bridges in the Coen Brothers film "The Big Lebowski," or a hypnotic glare from Dwight Schrute, the painfully competitive salesman played by Rainn Wilson on TV's "The Office"?
Dads, Stevens said. His artworks are frequently purchased for dad birthdays or Father's Day, and end up displayed on the walls of man caves. Wives and children are his most frequent customers, he said.
"America is such a weird culture. We are so bizarre," Stevens said. "What we brought to the world is a kind of casualness and rugged individualism."
That somehow goes hand-in-hand with mass production of everything from hamburgers to heroes. Only America could have created the Hollywood dream machine, he said.
But when pop-culture royalty passes on, Stevens added, he's put in an awkwardly profitable position.
About three years ago, Stevens woke up one morning to discover that he'd just made a nice bundle online overnight. All his David Bowie portraits had suddenly sold out. That's how he learned about the eccentric rock star's death.
The same goes for his Anthony Bourdain artworks. The charismatic Bourdain was a globe-trotting celebrity chef and documentarian who seemed on top of the world when he died by suicide in 2018. Stevens felt "ghoulish" about cashing in on that shock, he said.
Then he got back to work.
"Famous people from the pop generation are dying now," he said. "My job is preserving them so people can keep enjoying them."

Renaissance Europe is coming together, and people have realized that even the most powerful dynasties can achieve more together, so members of those dynasties are marrying, trading and sharing with one another — but who will end with the biggest piece of the pie?
In Dynasties, players must make many compromises, whether acting on their own or reacting to the behavior of their fellow players. In addition to these tactical and strategic decisions, luck also plays something of a role as not every marriage brings the windfall expected. Perhaps then another marriage will bring more success and influence?

Roll Bama Roll: The Dawg Sports Interview
By T Kyle King Jun 28, 2006, 7:57am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Roll Bama Roll: The Dawg Sports Interview
Interviews are all the rage in the intercollegiate athletics blogosphere, as evidenced by Eagle in Atlanta's sit-down with Bob Ryan (including a second installment in which Ryan is condescending and closed-minded towards bloggers), Burnt Orange Nation's conversation with Ivan Maisel, and Orson Swindle's exchange with Paul Finebaum.
Somewhat closer to home, Dawg Sports has conducted interviews with fellow SportsBlogs Nation webloggers Swamp Ball, A Sea of Blue, and Building the Dam. Well, now it is Roll Bama Roll's turn.
R.B.R. is (as the name implies) a Crimson Tide weblog operated by Nico of Eccentric Southern Gentleman fame. My questions and Nico's answers are posted below; the inquiries he posed to me, along with my responses, may be found at Roll Bama Roll.
Dawg Sports: Alabama saw a lot of position changes during the offseason: Cole Harvey moved from offensive lineman to tight end, Baron Huber moved from defensive end to fullback, Ezekial Knight moved from wide receiver to defensive end, and Zach Schreiber moved from defensive end to outside linebacker. Which personnel shift will be the most effective? Which will be the least effective?
Roll Bama Roll: The most effective move will be Ezekial Knight switching to defensive end from wide receiver. This is significant because Mike Shula nor offensive coordinator Dave Rader will be tempted to call Knight's number on crucial third downs. I'm half-joking, half-serious when I say that. I'm sure Zeke is a super nice fellow, but I saw him drop too many passes in crucial situations last year to be totally comfortable with him continuing in that position. Our receiving corps was really young last year (even more so after Tyrone Prothro's injury) and we didn't have many options outside of DJ Hall and Keith Brown.
Anyway, my 100% serious answer is that I don't think any of them will really have much impact either way. Almost all of them except for Zach Schreiber were at the bottom of the depth chart in their new positions after spring practice. Schreiber is currently second on the depth chart so I imagine he'll see more action this fall than any of the others listed.
Dawg Sports: In addition to the personnel changes, there were two changes on the coaching staff, as well. Rocky Colburn left his position with the Atlanta Falcons to become his alma mater's strength and conditioning coach and David Turner was brought in from Vanderbilt to coach defensive ends. Does it bother you that the Red Elephants are trying to restore their winning tradition by recruiting coaches from a perennial S.E.C. doormat and the worst franchise in professional sports? Seriously, what impact will Coach Colburn and Coach Turner have on Alabama's 2006 fortunes?
Roll Bama Roll: On paper, getting personnel from Vanderbilt and the Atlanta Falcons is bothersome, but in reality, I'm not sure it's that significant given what they're doing.
Regarding strength and conditioning coach Rocky Colburn, I'm actually excited about the change. The last few years have seen a plague of injuries at Alabama. I don't recall other top SEC programs experiencing as many injuries as Alabama recently. While some of them are little more than bad luck and freak occurrence, some are likely attributable to overall fitness. I personally don't know how to evaluate a strength and conditioning coach, but hopefully the change will bring better fortunes to the team.
As far as Turner goes, I'm typically quite comfortable with whatever decisions are made regarding our defense. Defense is one of the things Alabama football is known for and I have faith that defensive coordinator Joe Kines can see something in a Vandy coach that he thinks will translate to success for the Crimson Tide. Additionally, Kines is known to be a perfectionist and a great general on the defensive front. If Turner is somehow found lacking, I think Kines will be able to compensate for it. The overwhelming majority of the time I question the Tide coaching staff's decision about something, it's over things on the offensive side of the ball.
Dawg Sports: While the Crimson Tide were stellar defensively in 2005, Alabama's weakness clearly was on offense. With Brodie Croyle gone, Kenneth Darby rehabilitating his knee due to tendonitis, and Tyrone Prothro recovering from what may yet prove to be a career-ending injury, can 'Bama be better offensively in 2006?
Roll Bama Roll: That is certainly the question on every Bama fan's mind heading into the fall. I think it can be better, yet I also (incredibly) think it could be worse. John Parker Wilson showed well in his very limited playing time in '05. He was 7 of 11 for 98 yards and 2 TDs. If you can believe it, he's never made a handoff in a game. He's either passed or kept the ball himself every snap he's taken (and has a rushing TD.) He showed promise in the spring game, but threw too many picks. That's an area of concern, but something that'll likely improve with more playing time. Perhaps it was one of those things he is "supposed to say," but it's encouraging that Brodie Croyle said he thinks JPW will be one of the best QBs to ever play at Alabama. I'm just hoping he learns as quickly as Brandon Cox did at Auburn.
I think Darby will be fine in the fall. He returned from sports hernia surgery last year to rush for 1,242 yards. He's a tough guy. Even if he isn't at 100%, I feel good about our group of running backs. Young guys like Jimmy Johns and Glen Coffee showed a lot of promise last year. Running the ball is one thing Alabama's seldom had a problem with so I'm not particularly worried about that.
Pass protection is our big question mark. Last year's offensive line gave up a humiliating 11 sacks to Auburn (as well as 5 each to LSU and Tennessee.) Some of that can be attributed to a late season injury to starting center JB Closner and the desperate scramble to find a competent replacement. It should be noted that Alabama didn't give up a single sack against Texas Tech, so there's a glimmer of hope in that department.
So, to briefly answer your question, I don't think Alabama will produce USC-level offensive fireworks, but I have hope that things will ultimately get better game-by-game this year instead of regressing with each contest.
Dawg Sports: Paul Finebaum has been highly critical of S.E.C. squads for supposedly weak scheduling, despite the fact that a number of conference teams will be playing tough non-conference games next fall (Georgia-Colorado, Tennessee-California, Vanderbilt-Michigan, Arkansas-Southern California, Auburn-Washington State, L.S.U.-Arizona, Mississippi State-West Virginia, Ole Miss-Missouri). Alabama, on the other hand, plays eight home games, only one of which (Auburn) is apt to prove challenging, and the Tide's out-of-conference slate consists of Hawaii, Louisiana-Monroe, Duke, and Florida International. Does 'Bama deserve the grief Finebaum is giving the Tide or is the school's scheduling justifiable?
Roll Bama Roll: If there's anything I've learned from growing up in Birmingham, it's that Paul Finebaum knows how to push buttons. He particularly enjoys pushing the Alabama fans' buttons given the fact that Alabama, a traditional power, has fallen on hard times recently.
I'm certainly not thrilled with this year's out of conference scheduling, but Alabama has had quality OOC opponents recently with UCLA and Oklahoma and there are other great match-ups on the horizon (Florida State, Penn State, Georgia Tech), so you've got to figure that some seasons are just going to plain suck in that regard. At least they didn't dip into the I-AA barrel.
I think the OOC scheduling is somewhat justified by circumstances in that two of the teams were recent decisions. Duke was the 12th game scheduled and I'm glad they took on a lower tier BCS conference team than going I-AA to fill the 12th spot like so many schools did. Perennial opponent Southern Miss (who typically goes to a bowl game) decided not to renew our contract and it left the school in a position to have to find someone to plug into the schedule in the short term. It's typically difficult to schedule a really quality opponent on short notice, so I'm not terribly upset by what happened in filling the Southern Miss slot. Then the customary cupcake was scheduled (as is typical for everyone), and the Hawaii game was scheduled several years ago after our two trips out there. Hawaii was going to bowl games fairly frequently when that game was scheduled so it can't be held against Alabama that the Warriors tanked last year.
So yeah, it doesn't look so hot on paper, but there are reasons why it went down the way it did. Additionally, everyone knew there'd be a new QB in charge this year, so why throw him under a bus early in the season against a team like West Virginia or Southern Cal? Give him a year to build some confidence and let him take on FSU in '07.
Dawg Sports: During his first year on the job, Mike Shula looked like he was in over his head. At times, the camera would show him on the sidelines and the viewer's first reaction would be, "Hey, look . . . former 'Bama Q.B. Mike Shula made it back for the game!" before the realization dawned that he was the head coach. However, it increasingly appears to be the case that he was thrown into a bad situation at the last minute and, now that he has had time to find his feet, Coach Shula has righted the ship. Nevertheless, he is 0-3 against Auburn and, if the Tigers win the 2006 Iron Bowl, the Tide will have lost five straight to their in-state rivals for the first time since 1958, the Bear's first year back in Tuscaloosa. How long can Mike Shula survive if he continues to lose to Auburn? At what point does he become Alabama's John Cooper, the coach who wins consistently but cannot beat his most important rival?
Roll Bama Roll: I do not know of a single Alabama fan that holds anything against Mike Shula for his 4-7 season in 2003. He walked into one of the highest pressure coaching jobs in college football under the worst circumstances imaginable. (The only situation I can think of that would be worse was taking over at SMU the first year back after the death penalty.) Shula didn't get to go through spring training with his team and was put in charge of a group of young men who had been lied to by Dennis Franchione and embarrassed by Mike Price. Pile crippling sanctions on top of that and what could we really expect? For what it's worth, 2003 didn't even happen in the minds of most Bama fans.
2004 saw him get his bearings a little better, though too many close game were lost. Injuries struck hard in '04 and the sanctions' power reared their ugly head when a shallow bench had to compensate for significant losses. '04 was frustrating, but somewhat understandable. One important thing happened in '04 though: Shula blew up at a referee. He was considered bland and personality-less and then he just lost it with a ref. That got a huge roar of approval from the crowd and was a sign that he finally looked comfortable in a head coach's shoes.
In 2005, we saw a team that could win close games and even win games they probably shouldn't win. That's the sign of a good team. People always point to the Prothro injury as the season killer for Alabama, but they continued to win after he went down. To me, the true season killer was the loss of center JB Closner. After Closner broke his leg, we lost our next two games when the line completely fell apart. The loss to LSU was heartbreaking because it came in overtime at home and ended the perfect season. The loss to Auburn was...I don't even have words for it (thank goodness LSU won the west though!)
If Auburn wins in '06, that'll be five in a row ("fear the thumb" as they say.) I think a loss to Auburn in '06 will really put him on the hot seat and heaven forbid he were to lose again in '07, I think he's gone. No coach at Alabama can survive five straight losses to Auburn. Alabama can easily buy out any contract it writes and I don't think they'll stand for dropping six in a row to the Barn no matter what the circumstances are.
My thanks go out to Nico for taking the time to participate in this exercise and I hope the Bulldogs and the Crimson Tide get the chance to square off in Atlanta next December.

Q: Algorithm problems - How to Modelize an A* pathfinding & Matrix in Typescript I don't speak english very well so i'm gonna try to be clear!

*

*I try to make an Ionic 3 Application, so I use HTML/CSS, Angular 4 and Typescript. (Context)

*I have implemented A star pathfinding algorithm following this link : https://github.com/digitsensitive/astar-typescript. (Success)

*I used and transformed it, to find the shortest path from one point to another passing through multiple goals. (Success)

*This is what I get : (Success)

*Now, I'd like to modelize my matrix AND my path like this: (To do)

*I realized this with div, ngIf, CSS : (Done)

*Now .. I have no idea how to put in green my path. (Like in the img of "5." ) (To do)

*

*I'd like to access to [x][y] of each element of my matrix

*Compare with [value, value] of myPath

*If it is the same, color in green or something like this..

Can you help me please?

They are a means of showcasing your organization, its products and services. However, how does one know that a particular site exists?
Obviously through Search Engines of which Google occupies the lead position with 65%+ search traffic. The balance comes from Yahoo, Bing,other search engines and directory services. So that's where the importance of a Broader sense of "Web Promotions" come in. SEO is just a subset of "Web Promotion" since SEO is restricted to working on improving visibility of a single site on SERP. Web Promotion in a broader sense is working with a bunch of websites interlinked with each other all of which are optimized for good visibility on SERP. Working with bunch of websites for a given client can be an expensive affair if SEO is to be done on all the sites under our regular SEO offer. To minimize the overall costs for the client, we have come up with the idea of "Leased Websites" working with and around the corporate site of our client which is under it's own SEO contract.
• Search Engines continuously update their algorithms for improving the relevancy of search results.
• Updates to filter out websites which have come up on a SERP as a result of Black-hat SEO practices.
Recent PANDA update on Google has knocked off many sites from SERP or pushed it way down to beyond the 10th page.
As a result of this "Web Promotion & SEO" is a never ending assignment as it needs constant corrections and alignments in order to maintain visibility on SERP. Consider this the same as advertisements on TV (or any other media) but at a much cheaper price with 24X7 visibility globally. It comes at a fraction of the cost as compared to advertisements in print or television.
Before we delve into the specifics of the packages that we offer, we would like to touch upon our fair Business Policy with respect to "Web Promotion and SEO". As a part of this policy we shall never do "Web Promotion and SEO" of a client who could be a competitor of any of our existing clients for whom we have already ongoing assignment for "Web Promotion". So for example if we are doing a client in the segment of say "Fashion Jewelry" then we shall not do any other client in that segment as long as the assignment is active and live. This is what we call "Fair Business Policy" and the same applies to Web Promotion and SEO. In short - in one segment we shall only do one client in India.
SEO and Leased Websites together constitute what we call "Web Promotion" . So if in any segment there's a vacant spot we shall fill the subset of the same with anyone on a first come first served basis. To illustrate, if we are doing just "SEO" of a corporate site in one segment and the slot of Leased websites is vacant then we will offer that slot on a first come first served basis to any other client.


Sixpence For Your Shoe: Fabulous Frocks For Your Bridal Fete: Green with envy!
Fabulous Frocks For Your Bridal Fete: Green with envy!
Whenever someone mentions green wedding shoes, all I can think of is the custom dyed pair of Manolos that Ilene Rosenzweig sported on her May 2003 wedding, as featured in the Spring 2004 issue of In Style Weddings. Doesn't matter that this wedding was almost six years ago - they are forever fabulous! Seriously, I have yet to see a green shoe to compare to these pretties.
So let's face it, not all of us have $700+ to spend on our wedding shoes. But that doesn't mean you can't get the look for less! Take these simple slingbacks, for instance. The could easily be dyed an apple, chartreuse, leaf or kiwi green to get the look of the ones featured above. Even better, they are on sale for $39.95 at Dyeable Shoe Store & More. Further, you can dye any pair of shoes for about $12.
$52 vs. $700. That's a good deal to me!

MEET SANDVIK – OUR STORIES
The innovative Sandvik Ideas Hub is a success. The easy, interactive way to exchange and evolve ideas across functions, sections and countries has already, at the trial stage, proved to be a democratic and inclusive way to boost sustainable business.
The Ideas Hub was established with the goal of gathering 100,000 ideas or innovations by 2030 that will drive sustainability at Sandvik. Although the project has barely left the pilot phase, its playful way of handling serious matters has already inspired devoted teams to work on dozens of new, creative ideas for a more sustainable business.
Projects like this can easily fail if the people involved don't get any recognition.
"The whole purpose is to find and share good ideas and democratize the responsibility to drive sustainability," says Mats W. Lundberg, Head of Sustainability at Sandvik and initiator of the project. "This way everyone has an equal opportunity to initiate what can become the unicorns of tomorrow."
Mats W. Lundberg, Head of Sustainability, Sandvik Group
The hub is as easy to use as any social media platform, and just as easy to access through its smartphone app or the intranet. Anyone can share an idea. Colleagues can give a thumbs up, make comments, develop an idea or even generate spin-offs to new ones. Questions can be asked and challenges set up.
"You can even keep a scoreboard to see who comes up with most creative ideas," says Lundberg. "Most important though is to make sure good ideas are brought forward and developed. Projects like this can easily fail if the people involved don't get any recognition."
Sandvik Coromant in Trondheim was one of three pilots run at the beginning of 2021.
"We used the Ideas Hub challenge to improve our green factory work and to help build a culture around sustainability, similar to the culture we have built around safety first," says Ingrid Østbye Ramberg, HR Manager and EHS Manager at the site.
Twenty great ideas were posted on the first day.
Before the launch, the hub was given a local profile and made available in Norwegian. The goal was to get at least 80 percent of the employees to visit the hub and to generate ideas. Two challenges were set for a 14-day period: recycling waste and reducing energy usage.
"The outcome exceeded our expectations," says Kaja M. Flottorp, Manager Machining Operations at Sandvik Coromant and part of the Ideas Hub pilot team. "Twenty great ideas were posted on the first day."
In addition to the ideas, both large and small, there were plenty of interactive comments and likes. "Some suggestions are already implemented, like the idea to replace individual trash cans with a centrally located recycling station for a more sustainable waste management," says Flottorp.
Twenty-five ideas have been selected for further development, and the initiators were given the option of being part of the development team.
An e-bike was awarded for the best idea, which involved using solar collectors to reduce the use of district heating.
Ideas on a global scale
Two other pilots were run at the Mechanical Cutting Division of Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions in Russia and at the global Strategy & Product Management (S&PM) at Seco Tools.
Paulo Janeiro, Seco Tools
"At S&PM we are about 250 people working in several different countries, so this was a good way to make sure the Ideas Hub also works on all levels on a global scale and in different language contexts," says Paulo Janeiro, Innovation Lead at Seco Tools in Fagersta.
With the pilot phase over, Janeiro has taken on the task of launching the Ideas Hub throughout the Sandvik Group, to help out with the setup for those that want to join.
Natural growth
"We want it to grow naturally and let people warm to the idea of participating," says Janeiro. "No one will be forced to join, but we believe that every part of the organization would benefit from and enjoy taking part."
A possible future step is to reach out outside the company group and invite customers, suppliers and educational institutions to contribute and help advance the world through engineering.

Facebook IPO: Four More Reasons (and Counting) to Avoid It !
By Louis Basenese, Chief Investment Strategist
http://clicks.wallstreetdaily.com//t/AQ/AAp7bQ/AAqN+Q/AAQQ7Q/AQ/A0xlZg/1yiZ
Pop quiz time. Do these fundamentals smack of a good investment opportunity?
~ Slowing growth
~ Higher expenses
~ Fewer profits
~ And stagnant selling prices
And the answer? Not just no, but hell no!
Yet those are the latest fundamentals for Facebook, which were revealed in a revised S-1 filing on Monday.
Of course, the underwriters would like us to ignore them and buy into all the social media hype and, in turn, Facebook's stock.
But let me say it again so it's Colonel Jessup-style "crystal clear." We should avoid the Facebook IPO like the plague.
Here are the latest reasons why...
The "Outdated" Science of Fundamental Analysis
You'll recall that during the dot-com bubble, Wall Street asked us to throw out "outdated" fundamental analysis metrics like earnings and sales growth and return-on-equity.
In their place, we were supposed to value a stock based on things like page views, clicks and unique visitors.
To paraphrase Dr. Phil - because he gets no love in the financial press - how'd that work out for us? Not so well.
At the end of the day, profits are what ultimately matter. Case in point: When dot-com companies failed to produce them, they tanked.
And yet here we are, a little more than a decade later and Wall Street's trying to get us to abandon fundamental analysis once again. Don't fall for its dot-com era magic tricks of distraction.
As I told you before, the $100 billion valuation being bandied about for Facebook's IPO isn't supported by real-world examples.
Companies with comparable market caps - like Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO) - are producing more in profits than Facebook is in annual sales.
Instead of paying attention to Facebook's meager profits, though, we're supposed to focus on Facebook's meteoric increase in users. And then believe one day it will leverage that user base to generate enough profits to justify its lofty valuation.
For argument's sake, let's go ahead and believe in the potential of its user base. When we do, a problem quickly arises.
Facebook's user growth is slowing. Dramatically. It's down from solid double digits to close to 6%. Across all geographies. Take a look:
In an earlier article, I guaranteed that this slower growth would happen. And it is happening. As Lou Kerner, Founder of the Social Internet Fund, says, "We are seeing slowing growth [at Facebook], which is never a positive thing."
No it's not, Lou. Slowing growth kills stock prices. Just ask Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX). It reported results yesterday. As The Wall Street Journal's headline reads, "Netflix's Growth Disappoints." I'll say. Shares got hammered 12% lower.
Making matters worse, Facebook's slowdown can't be dismissed as a short-term problem. It's going to persist.
Why? Because at 901 million users, Facebook is bumping up against the law of large numbers, just like Apple. So unless it adds every man, woman, child, plant and rock to its user base, it will never experience double-digit user growth again.
At the same time, it's confronting an improving jobs picture. Yes, unemployment and Facebook are linked.
I'd also posit that Facebook's novelty is wearing off. Or more simply, "Facebook fatigue" is setting in. Users aren't as engaged. Which is symptomatic of all social media companies to date. The company's $1 billion acquisition of Instagram proves it, too.
In its recent S-1 filing, Facebook confesses: "In April 2012, we entered into an agreement to acquire Instagram... to enable users to increase their levels of mobile engagement."
Reading between the lines, Facebook must really be desperate. How else do you explain paying the highest price in history for a photo-sharing startup, with only 30 million users and no revenue?
In the end, if you want to believe in the Facebook IPO based on metrics like user growth and engagement, be my guest.
I'll save belief for my religion, thank you very much. As for my investments, I'll stick to fundamental analysis.
With that in mind, let's get back to that "outdated" science and see how Facebook's IPO stacks up. (Hint: It doesn't!)
Would You Pay a Premium for THIS Stock?
In the last quarter, Facebook reported a quarter-over-quarter drop in revenue of 6.5%.
At first blush that might not sound too bad. Especially when you consider that year-over-year sales were up 44.7%. But remember, Facebook added another 56 million users in the last quarter.
It should be increasing sales as it increases the number of users. But it's not.
The company tried to blame the revenue dip on "seasonal trends." Really? Young, innovative startups are supposed to be immune to seasonal trends!
Even if we give Facebook the benefit of the doubt on the sales figures, other troubling fundamentals remain.
Take total expenses, for example. They increased 16.1% in the last quarter and 97.4% over the last year.
A rise in expenses isn't always a bad thing. That is, as long as it's accompanied by a similar rise in sales and profits. No such luck here.
Expenses rose much faster (+97.4%) than sales (+44.7%) over the last year. As for net income, it headed in the opposite direction, down 32.1% quarter-over-quarter and down 12% year-over-year.
Sorry folks, fewer profits don't add up to higher stock prices.
Most troubling of all, though, is the fact that advertising rates were stagnant. As Facebook revealed in the filing, "Average price per ad for the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011 was unchanged."
Rob Griffin, Executive Vice President of ad agency, Havas Digital, says static ad prices are a "short-term problem."
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it, however.
As I noted last week, Facebook's nothing more than a portal to serve up advertising. (It currently derives 82% of revenue from advertising.) This early in its life cycle - and given the economic recovery - Facebook should be earning higher advertising rates, as it demonstrates its value to advertisers.
In February I provided anecdotal evidence that wasn't happening. Forrester analyst, Nate Elliott, said, "We're hearing from our clients that their return on investment from Facebook ads doesn't look anything nearly like what it does for TV, print and radio ads, or from Google advertising." Now we have the empirical evidence.
Bottom line: Much like Blackstone Group's (NYSE: BX) IPO signaled the peak of the private equity bubble, Facebook's IPO promises to usher in the peak of the social media bubble. Don't be caught on the wrong side. Based on metrics that actually matter, Facebook's IPO fails to stack up as a sound investment. So I still recommend you avoid it like the plague.
Ahead of the tape,
Louis Basenese

</manifest>

A:
What's for ?

There is no use for that attribute. The <application> element does not have an authorities attribute.

Should i remove it from the application tag

Yes.

and create additional 'provider' tag ?

Only if you have a ContentProvider, for which you wish to use that authority name.

Beyond apparel and accessories, in 1985, Patagonia created the 1% for the Planet initiative and has since donated $89 million to environmental efforts. Headquartered in Ventura, California, Patagonia has more than 100 retail stores in the US, Europe and Asia and sells their products through specialty retailers, catalogs, or its self-owned website and stores. Patagonia is in business to save our home planet and utilizes all available resources to help alleviate environmental issues around the world.
As Patagonia continues to grow, the organization is hiring a Head of Total Rewards to align HR functions and policies to support its employees. This leader will lead Patagonia's total rewards function, partnering closely with senior leaders and team members to expand its compensation and benefits philosophy. With the recent transfer of Patagonia's ownership to an environmental trust, linking total rewards to Patagonia's purpose and values will become more important than ever before.

The caterpillar lives polyphagous on herbs and low shrubs.
Prodotis stolida inhabits predominantly ruderal terrain, grasslands, sand dunes, open scrub and the maquis.
Prodotis stolida flies in several generations per year. I met adults in mid-July 2006 and May 2010 in Northern Greece.
Prodotis stolida is widespread in the tropics and subtropics of Africa, Asia and Australia. In Europe it penetrates to the southern edge of the Alps. Further north, only rarely vagrants are found.

PLP: 'Resolution Before Parliament Resumes'
The PLP reiterated their call for an inquiry into why riot police were sent in at the protest as well as their call for the Auditor General to review the proposed airport contract, and said these issues are of "national public interest and both reviews must take place with a full resolution before Parliament resumes in February."
In a statement today, Opposition Leader and Shadow Minister of Finance David Burt said, "Today's announcement that Parliament is to close until February comes against the backdrop of unfinished business surrounding the OBA's 30-year airport privatisation deal and heighted community tensions due to the use of unjustified force against non-violent protesters by the police.
"It is important that the identity as to who was responsible for ordering this aggressive action, along with who was made aware prior and when, is revealed quickly. The PLP reiterates our call for a full, independent, public inquiry into why riot police were sent to confront peaceful protesters.
"An inquiry is required so that we may obtain answers to the many questions that have arisen because of these actions. These questions include the rumours that the Premier and members of his Cabinet were aware of such planned deployment and did nothing to stop it.
"This must be addressed so that the public's confidence in the BPS to protect them, and not just the Government, can return.
"That same openness and transparency must be applied to the contract for the OBA's proposed airport contract. This will only be possible through an independent and public review of the deal by the Auditor General, which must proceed immediately and we will continue to press for this accountability.
"The country must be fully informed of the full implications of the OBA Airport Bill. Anything less is inconsistent with the principles of good governance.
"These issues are of pressing, national public interest and both reviews must take place with a full resolution before Parliament resumes in February," Mr Burt concluded.
Premier Michael Dunkley previously said he has "requested to Government House and the Bermuda Police Service that an investigation into the events be conducted and a report be completed for the Government on what happened and why," newly appointed Governor John Rankin said he has spoken to the Police Commissioner and Acting Commissioner and "they have assured me they are conducting investigations into what took place," and Speaker of the House Randy Horton also said he is "requesting a full public independent inquiry into the sequential events surrounding the recent protest."

wahoo says:
Did it occur to the PLP that this would happen before they ordered their people to cause conflict? Plain and simple the leaders (I saw you Wayne) had to have known that eventually there would need to be an intervention. I am sorry that this was not explained to the people who were being used as shields. The little bit of video that I saw showed three of the "leaders" backing away from the police while protesters shouted at and abused them. The law is the law and it is there for us all.
PLP. BIU there is no high road here for you. You created a mess that is bigger than you. You take chaos and disbelief everywhere you go nowadays and you are showing signs of being desperate beyond comprehension. This is a smoke screen and a thrash because something big is coming your way. Right big shot?
Onion says:
This was all by design. The PLP needs an enemy because they don't have any policies that they're really advocating. Nobody gets particularly upset over an airport financing structure, especially when the PLP used a nearly identical one a few years ago to build the Hospital.
However by creating this clash with the Police they have successfully drawn a line. On one side are black people who may or may not have cared about an airport but are now certainly upset by the pepper spraying, and on the other side are a majority white commenters who think protesters should have obeyed the law.
It's all quite deliberate.
The Opposition Leader isn't over his head. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's winning by the politics of nihilism where only power maters. And it's going to win them the election and like Trump and Brexit we'll all wake up wondering what happens next.
Ringmaster says:
The Opposition Leader/ Shadow Finance Minister has clearly realized he is in over his head. He has to call on PLP supporters to disrupt Parliament rather than rely on his own "brilliance" and financial acumen to debate and persuade.
Then we have to listen to the likes of Walter Roban wanting to know who gave the orders to the police to enforce the law. Laughable. If the PLP had done what they had wanted to do in their time, the police would have been under the control of the OBA. What then? The PLP introduced pepper spray and the riot squad (wanting a SWAT Team in fact) so funny how what goes around comes around. The PLP wanted to have the police have the use of pepper spray and a riot squad, then complain when they are used.
Well at least there will be some entertainment in the next few months. The CoI will release their Report and the police will have had ample time to review CCTV film and send out letters inviting many to visit magistrates' court.
Build a Better Bermuda says:
What seems to unimportant to the PLP is who was also inciting people to behave in an unlawful and undemocratic manner. Why was it that members of this protest felt the need to assault police officers before their was ever a riot squad presence. Who was using aggressive and virulent language to incite this crowd to engage in unlawful behaviour. Betting they are among the same, if not in the same circle, as those who have refused to say that they would even accept an AG ruling that this is a good deal, if it was reviewed that way.
The last time I checked the PLP were the opposition did i miss something ….who do they think they are with all of these demands … Burt and others possibly also broke the law on Friday …after all he orchestrated it ….we must move forward the PLP and biu have done nothing and i repeat nothing to get Bermuda back …but both put us where we were 3 years ago …and thank God they are no longer calling the shots …What we need is a Government who is committed to Bermuda and not there pockets or family or friends pockets
Rights for All says:
The PLP's demand has about as much relevance as their "we won't return to Parliamnet until the Governor has been recalled". Idle and childish threats.
Their aims have been made public and are to block Parliament and have Randy Horton resign as speaker and as an MP. No plans to move Bermuda forward or to help create employment. just how to create the situation to regain power for the Party elite.
At this point the OBA hurts itself more by continuing to cave to these tactics. They need to remember those that elected them are expecting them to govern.
Carry on and do what you can before the next election.
far from it says:
you ppl make me laugh, come with some facts on why you support the airport always putting down the PLP for doing their job but this is as wrong a deal as I've seen
i wish i could build with out paying for electricity payroll tax then be guaranteed 16% profit how can i loose then on top off that i get to share the profits when the 30 years are finished, only a fool can't see this
your right history will prove they are hurting themselves this is the worst deal in our history
The facts are clear, readily available in all the documentation that has been released. And when read in the entirety, it is the PLP's narrative that comes up as devoid of facts.
de fence says:
The PLP's job would be to debate this in Parliament. David Burt creating this street theatre rather than doing his job inside Parliament would seem to be showing a great deal of disrespect to the Speaker and the House. Hopefully that will be part of the full public independent inquiry.
aceboy says:
WHere were the protestors when all the PLP wrong deals were done? Dunkley listed out all of the overruns for 5 projects, missing out a whole bunch, including Grand Atlantic. The PLP did those, so no protests on Parliament. Now suddenly people like yourself are horrified by a project proposed by the OBA and the BIU goes on an illegal work stoppage so that they can populate a political protest? REALLY? You guys are willing to break the law and prevent a debate (as well as preventing information sessions to the public) over a construction project and liken it to events that took place in the 1970s….when the governor was shot and the person responsible hanged? They are the same???? Give me a break. This isn't about the project itself, this is about money, politics and power. The ugliest game there is and we have religious organisations backing it. There is something very very wrong with this picture.
You don't like the deal, ok. You have every right to protest and say what you like. But this country cannot be governed under a system whereby 200-300 people prevent debate and the ability of the politicians to run the country every time they don't like something. Do you think OBA supporters should have locked arms when the PLP proposed the projects that resulted in such massive overruns? Is that what you are suggesting?
DJO says:
I call for the resignation of the plp leader, deputy leader,flip flop Furbert, derick burgess and the 2 union leaders. they KNOWINGLY incited un rest and lawlessness i repeat KNOWINGLY what the results may pan out to be and that included HUMAN SHIELDS or cannon fodder to the democratic system
Yawn says:
Burt GTHOH with your fake concilliatiory tone. It is EVIDENT you are NOT interested in resolution. Not ever. You have shown a history of your disingenuousness and that will always be who you are and why the party didn't want you as leader.
Funny Day says:
Without pay, right?
sandgrownan says:
Burt is lying again.
Up D hill says:
PLP calls for? I'm sure you know what you can do with your calls for PLP! I call for the plp to look into what was said by Derrick Burgess at your BS blockade!
Burt instigated the problem in the first place and now he's pretending to be outraged because the police did their job.
What a wanker.
no love says:
So Burt wants an invegtigation into why the actions of last Friday happened. Burt, meet mirror. You caused this. He sent the email out and spread the misinformation. In due time the PLP will be found out for what they are all about and have done in the past. Stay tuned.
I'd like to believe that the PLP's misrepresentations will be made clear, but much like the Republican Party, the PLP base will happily follow and support a hollow PLP narrative than one that they are being invited to hate and reject by their leadership, even if it is actually more truthful and will benefit them better.
Unbelievable says:
DID THE plp ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT IF YOU TELL THE POLICE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO IGNORE WHAT THEY SAY OR REQUEST, THE POLICE WILL JUST GO AWAY???
WHAT DID THE plp EXPECT???
THIS IS ALL A GAME TO THEM!
Jadon says:
Well what happened in the end?? The police just went away…. they should of just done that instead of pepper spraying the elderly and children and then dissapearing… Unbelievable….
So the police should just go away when some people tell them?
Lawlessness is what you want in this country?
That is insane.
Realist says:
Burt is a dangerous man. He lies so easily that I don't think we have ever seen another like him. He knows the Government, Premier and Speaker knew nothing about the police tactics. They have ALL publicly admitted that. The Commissioner of Police has stated the decision to use pepper spray was done within the police ranks. Not even the Deputy Governor knew. Why does this Burt fellow continue with his lying narrative?
Because lying serves his end game.
rodney smith says:
You give in once, and the PLP will steal the prize. Please note the demands, that certain things must be done before parliament goes back in on February 3,2017 . The OBA is between a rock and a hard place. The PLP will not yield on their demands. They will keep the House from meeting because the OBA is afraid that people will get hurt. Isn't that's why we have the police , to protect our rights? Leadership is needed and it appears that Burt and Chris are leading the country. Court cases , and reports , and now a call for a COI . In order to get all this done, parliament it seems will be closed for a very long time. Who dares to stand up to the PLP and the Unions. Not me , said the PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY .
Earth watch police says:
Mister Smith with all due respect we are all at fault here myself Included we do not stand with the government we let them be disrespected vilified and abused bell we even let their women get verbally abused by honorable opposition mp;s but nobody says a thing. I do agree on the leadership the premier should have rounded up his cabinet and went to work that day if the crowd wanted their pound of flesh let them have it .The protesters are not at fault just the leaders and organizers who use and manipulate the people for power.The airport is over acon will be best advised to leave then we just wait for the plp s airport when they win the election.
Furbert, Burgess, Burt, go ahead and call a General Strike. Let's see how many show up. As for the bus service, privatize that too by selling off the routes.
Spectator says:
"An inquiry is required so that we may obtain answers to the many questions that have arisen because of these actions. These questions include the rumours that the Premier and members of his Cabinet were aware of such planned deployment and did nothing to stop it." — Please note the similarity between such a comment and how Trump smeared Obama for eight years on the birther issue. First, even though the Premier, the Police Commissioner and the Governor have denied this, the PLP will continue to "demand the truth," just as Trump continued to press Obama. Second, there is no way to prove it to the satisfaction of the PLP, just as Obama couldn't satisfy the birthers even when he produced a long-form birth certificate; they just called it fake. Neither the PLP nor the birthers actually care about the truth. Unfortunately, these political tactics now seem to be the norm, and the PLP has adopted the same obstructive tactics of the alt-right, conspiracy theorists and Republicans that most Bermudians thought were despicable when used against Obama.
Stop this nonsense! you are ruining our country for your own power hungry political games. Go away PLP!
The police catch someone committing an offence (eg robbing a store) and try to arrest the person. If the person then assaults the police should the police walk away and leave the robber with his spoils? or should the do their job?
CPM says:
The Government has to stand up to the" rent a mob crew" and put Furbert [biu] and Burt in their place
We have to make a stand against this disruption of democracy on our island or we are finished as a financial centre
It's not about the airport, it is about disruption. It's only a practice for when they disrupt the Americas Cup next year in front of the world one one of their idiotic stunts.

MOST IMPORTANT PROOF against Obama presidency & fraud
https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/district-of-columbia/dcdce/1:2008cv02254/134576/11
And THEN there is a company in Germany called Bertelsmann (solely owned by the Mohn family) which has SO MUCH influence in German politics that it IS the (hidden) Government there. AND they opened a tax exempt business in DC called the Bertelsmann Foundation, a 'think tank' in DC. Part of their business is selling books through their division called Random House. THEY are the ones who have given Obama his millions for 'book deals'. Money given him while a Senator and throughout even now. Money which he failed to report. But Obama sure hasnt sold tens of millions worth of books, so what they really did is to BUY HIM. Thus, Obama is an agent of Germany. Donors to this company include: Asia Society, the Embassy of Germany, the European Commission, Google, and the Open Society Foundation (George Soros). They also have off-shoot companies, one of which is a 'software management' company [ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empolis & https://www.service.express/industrial-analytics/ & https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_segmentation ]
And many of those donor companies operate off 'donations & grants' given to them by Congress (& Parliament). Money which is tax$$, which means WE are unknowingly paying for all of this.
And this company has it's tentacles into everything; one of which is an organization called World Concern; which is the Global Sustainabilty Project also known as The Paris Accords which also includes a Gates Foundation group called DATA. They want USA to give $7T (that's TRILLION) PER YEAR to this cause of making the whole world on an equal par with America. While it sounds nice & noble to take care of the entire human race, what this means for us is to reduce our annual income (through massive taxes) and even take away our property (China is already doing this to their ppl). They will change our food to 'sustainable food' meaning Montsanto GMO. There will be forced vaccines and forced reproduction guides and – who knows – maybe even forced death at a certain age to 'manage the population growth'. They also plan forced 'relocation' policy for their 'sustainable urban societies' project.
Who paid the new-born country of America to create and install electricity in the early 1900's?? No one. It took companies with workers and foresight to grow to where we are now, and the workers paid for it all in usage fees and taxes. So why couldnt other nations achieve this the same way America did?? Instead, these 'charity' companies listed below have cone up with a plan (called Agenda 2030 & Paris Accord) to force American taxpayers to contribute $7 Trillion (with a 'T') PER YEAR to their plan to build infrastructure on the European Continent.
HOWEVER, America has ALREADY been paying for it, yet these countries are still without improvement??? Our Congress keeps giving money to these 'charities' and we dont even know they're doing it.!! All we know is they keep telling us there's no money for healthcare and social security – which we paid into besides other taxes like sales tax, income tax, property & school tax, and utilities taxes. BUT THEY WANT MORE $$$$ for Globalism (Dems call it the 'New Green Deal').
So i ask you, if the USA has been GENEROUSLY giving Hundreds of Billions per year (for at least the past 70 yrs) to charities and countries for humanitarian well-being and advancement, then WHY ARE THEY STILL IMPOVERISHED???
The 'Global Fund and Sustainability Project' money will only find its way into the swamp's pockets as it has been doing for over half a century now!!! With the ALREADY EXISTING PROGRAMS such as USAID and OFDA, among MANY OTHERS, plus grants to charities via Congress and personal donations to charities; does it not strike anyone as 'odd' that there are still countries in severe poverty?? These program and charity operators are living in extremely wealthy circumstances YET want already overburdened taxpayers to PAY MORE. If these rich ppl in these think tanks want to change the world so eagerly then THEY should donate THEIR entire wealth to it and not force that burden on the already over-burdened.

THE FLU SEASON STARTED IN OCTOBER !!! The US has over 50 million CASES per year!! Why have the FLU CASES NOT BEEN REPORTED but Covid "cases" are reported? There is not one single accurate test for covid !!! The hospitals see more patients during flu season for flu and not covid !!!
PROSECUTE GATES and FAUCI for treason !!
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/preliminary-in-season-estimates.htm
Dr Fauci admits C 19 tests are useless !!!
Dr. Anthony Fauci has admitted that the PCR test is useless and misleading when run at "35 cycles or higher."22 He made this comment in a July 16, 2020, "This Week in Virology" podcast:23
"If you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more … the chances of it being replication-confident are minuscule … You almost never can culture a virus from a 37 threshold cycle … [or] even 36 …"
That then begs the question, why is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommending the test be run at a CT of 40?24 Why are Drosten tests and tests recommended by the World Health Organization set to 45 cycles? As noted by author and investigative journalist Jon Rappaport:25
"All labs in the U.S. that follow the FDA guideline are knowingly or unknowingly participating in fraud. Fraud on a monstrous level, because… Millions of Americans are being told they are infected with the virus on the basis of a false positive result, and …
The total number of COVID cases in America — which is based on the test — is a gross falsity. The lockdowns and other restraining measures are based on these fraudulent case numbers.
Let me back up and run that by you again. Fauci says the test is useless when it's run at 35 cycles or higher. The FDA says run the test up to 40 cycles in order to determine whether the virus is there. This is the crime in a nutshell … On the basis of fake science, the country was locked down."
In an August 28, 2020, interview with The Post,21 Michael Levitt, Nobel Prize winner and professor of structural biology at Stanford, stated mass testing is "a huge waste of money which could much better go to helping people who have lost their jobs … It's great for the pharmaceutical companies selling test kits, but it's not doing anything good."
'Casedemic' Fuels Needless Fear
When labs use these excessive cycle thresholds, you end up with a far higher number of positive tests than you would otherwise. At present, and going back a number of months now, what we're really dealing with is a "casedemic,"7,8 meaning an epidemic of false positives.
Remember, in medical terminology, when used accurately, a "case" refers to someone who has symptoms of a disease. By erroneously reporting positive tests as "cases," the pandemic appears magnitudes worse than it actually is.
"The goal is to keep you scared, isolated and demoralized for a purpose," says PJ Media.9 "Only a beaten nation would stand for what comes next." And that next step is a reset of America as you know it, with the UN's one-world Agenda 2030 at the helm. To learn more, be sure to read "What You Need to Know About the Great Reset."

Trump isnt on your team….. You think there's still some 4D chest going on AHAHAH FFS. You don't have a dog in the game. The system is the problem; who is running it doesn't matter. The handlers NEVER change!! Trump was told what to do by Kissinger day 1. 'Hillary has suffered enough.'
