In semiotics, the concept of a code is of fundamental importance. Saussure (1857-1913) emphasised that signs only acquire meaning and value when they are interpreted in relation to each other. He believed that the relationship between the signifier and the signified was arbitrary. Hence, interpreting signs requires familiarity with the sets of conventions or codes currently in use to communicate meaning. Roman Jakobson (1896-1982) elaborated the idea that the production and interpretation of texts depends on the existence of codes or conventions for communication. Since the meaning of a sign depends on the code within which it is situated, codes provide a framework within which signs make sense (see Semiosis).
Codes are rule-driven systems which suggest the choice of signifiers and their collocation to transmit the intended meanings in the most effective way. To that extent, codes represent a broad interpretative framework used by both addressers and their addressees to encode and decode the messages. Self-evidently, the most effective communications will result when both creator and interpreter use exactly the same code. Since signs may have many levels of meaning from the denotational to the connotational, the addresser's strategy is to select and combine the signs in ways that limit the range of possible meanings likely to be generated when the message is interpreted. This will be achieved by including metalingual contextual clues, e.g. the nature of the medium, the modality of the medium, the style, e.g. academic, literary, genre fiction, etc., and references to, or invocations of, other codes, e.g. a reader may initially interpret a set of signifiers as a literal representation, but clues may indicate a transformation into a metaphorical or allegorical interpretation.
For native speakers, the dominant symbolic code will be their language which is divided into spoken and written forms. The language will reflect (if not construct — see lexical words) the cultural reality and social codes diachronically. Distinctions of class or memberships of groups will be determined by the social identity each individual constructs through the way the language is spoken (i.e. with an accent or as a dialect) or written (i.e. in sentences or in SMS format), the place of residence (see Americanisms), the nature of any employment undertaken, the style of dress, and nonverbal behaviour (e.g. say as macho or gay, or through differentiating customs as to the extent of private space, whether and where people may touch or stare at each other, etc.). The process of socialisation is learning to understand the prevailing codes and then deciding which to apply at any given time, i.e. acknowledging that there is sometimes an ideological quality to the coding system, determining levels of social acceptability, reflecting current attitudes and beliefs. This includes regulatory codes that are intended to control behaviour and the use of some signifying codes. Obviously, the human body is the means of using presentational codes through facial expressions, gestures, and dress. So words spoken may change their connotation to unnaceptable if accompanied by inappropriate nonverbal signs.
The other code forms rely upon knowledge held by, and the interests of, the addressees. Specialised denotational codes may provide a more objective and impersonal form of language for mathematical, philosophical, and scientific texts. Hence, for example, the ability to read this text depends upon a more specialised form of vocabulary and different skills to those required to read a genre text detailing the investigations of a detective or the adventures of a secret agent. There are also specialised connotational and ideological codes to reflect particular social, political, moral, and aesthetic values. Musical and iconic codes would be relevant as between a work by Arnold Schoenberg and a piece of bubblegum pop, and a painting by Rembrandt and a comic book by Frank Miller, etc. Each medium has its own specialised codes and, by making them more explicit, semiotics is attempting to explain the practices and conventions have appeared in each form and to understand how meaning is being communicated. In return, this assists addressers to improve their techniques, no matter what their functional needs, e.g. as politicians, journalists, advertisers, creative artists, etc. Indeed, awareness leads to an intentional blending of codes for effect, e.g. an advertiser may produce a more effective campaign with a slogan, images and a jingle using lexical, social gestural, and musical codes.

Q: XML array with 2 href attributes I have the following XML array:
["link"]=>
          array(2) {
            [0]=>
            object(SimpleXMLElement)#311 (1) {
              ["@attributes"]=>
              array(3) {
                ["type"]=>
                string(9) "text/html"
                ["href"]=>
                string(48) "http://twitter.com/bob/statuses/1226112723"
                ["rel"]=>
                string(9) "alternate"
              }
            }
            [1]=>
            object(SimpleXMLElement)#312 (1) {
              ["@attributes"]=>
              array(3) {
                ["type"]=>
                string(9) "image/png"
                ["href"]=>
                string(59) "http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/226895523/Dan_normal.png"
                ["rel"]=>
                string(5) "image"
              }
            }
          }

It's inside a bigger array, I need to get the first and second hef attribute seperatly so that I can put one href as a  link and another with a .
How can I output each href rather than both together?
Currently trying this:
 foreach($entry->link as $link) {
     echo $link->attributes()->href;
 }

A: You can access the href attributes using normal array/object access. Just store them in an array for later use:
$hrefs = array();

foreach($array['links'] as $links) {
    foreach($links->attributes as $key>=$value) {
        if('href' == $key) {
            $hrefs[] = $value;
        }
    }
}

// $href[0] = "http://twitter.com/bob/statuses/1226112723"
// $href[1] = "http://a3.twimg.com/profile_images/226895523/Dan_normal.png"

This makes use of SimpleXMLElement's attributes() method.
I don't think that you can access the attributes directly ($elment->@attributes) as this is not a valid syntax.

A: First href - $xml['link'][0]->attributes()->href
Second href - $xml['link'][1]->attributes()->href

A: $url = 'http://api.twitter.com/1/favorites/bob.atom';
$feed = simplexml_load_file($url);

$testStop = 0;
foreach($feed->entry as $entry) {
  echo 'title: ', $entry->title, "\n";

  // store all link/@href in a hashtable
  // so you can access them in any order you like
  // without resorting to xpath or alike.
  $links = array();
  foreach($entry->link as $link) {
    $links[(string)$link['rel']] = (string)$link['href'];
  }

  if ( isset($links['image']) ) {
    echo '', "\n";
  }
  if ( isset($links['alternate']) ) {
    echo 'alternate', "\n";
  }
  echo "----\n";
  if ( 2 < ++$testStop ) die;
}

(currently) prints
title: kolchak: Sometimes I think I need a new butler. But then it's like "Nah, he's still got one thumb. We good."

alternate
----
title: shitmydadsays: "War hero? No. I was a doc in Vietnam. My job was to say "This is what happens when ."

VOA Russian and Russian Affiliate Launch New Show about US-Russian Relations
New VOA and RBC co-production, Cold War?
WASHINGTON, D.C. —
A groundbreaking TV show co-produced by Voice of America's Russian Service and the Russian Business Channel premiered live Thursday in a primetime slot to audiences in Russia.
Cold War? connects VOA hosts in Washington and New York with RBC's Moscow-based host for a candid discussion with in-studio guests about points of contention between the two countries.
The first episode aired Thursday at 7:35 p.m. Moscow time, directly after RBC's evening news program, and featured guests Maria Snegovoaya, a columnist at Vedomosti, a major Russian language business daily, and Erica Marat, a professor at the National Defense University.
The discussion was very blunt, as discussions often were in the days of the Cold War. In one exchange, the RBC host in Moscow, Andrey Reut, said that Western sanctions were ineffective and did nothing but increase President Putin's popularity. Marat responded that Putin's ratings aren't growing because of the sanctions, but because of propaganda in Russia's government-controlled media and the government's suppression of the opposition media.
VOA Director David Ensor says Cold War? "comes at an absolutely critical time in U.S.-Russia relations and builds on a very successful partnership between VOA and RBC." Ensor added that it also marks the first-ever co-production between VOA and a major TV network within Russia.
VOA Russia Service broadcasters Alexey Berezin (in Washington) and Michael Gutkin (in New York) co-host the weekly show along with RBC New York co-host Boris Koltsov and RBC Editor-in-Chief Andrey Reut in Moscow.
For two years, VOA Russian has been providing popular daily 5- to 10-minutes interactives from the New York Stock Exchange that air live on RBC's evening business news show. Cold War? is the first full-length VOA program, however, to air on Russian TV since 2007, when the Russian government clamped down on its already restrictive media environment. Voice of America's Russian Service has since employed a successful digital strategy to inform and engage a Russian audience that is one of the most active social media communities in the world.
The RBC has an audience share of 11 percent within the Russian Federation.

Ever wondered how the world would be if a color goes missing? In the interactive children's storybook app Red in Bed, find out what happens when Red falls ill and cannot join the other colors in painting the things around them.
Red in Bed is a musical storybook app that introduces juniors to colors.
Red in Bed begins with seven colors who wake up one morning to find that Red is sick. The other colors band together to tint the world while Red stays in bed, but things just don't look the same. The strawberries are orange, the stop sign is yellow, and the rooster is green!
Fortunately, Red starts to feel better and soon, goes off to put things back in order. The world is a happy place once more, and the colors go home for a good night sleep.
When Red falls ill, the other colors work together to paint the things around them.
Created by a dad for his two-year-old daughter, Red in Bed is an amusing and interactive tale that explores the colors around us. In the app, kids can learn the names of seven different colors and the objects that they associate with. For example, yellow is the color of bananas and green is the color of leaves.
As you move through the pages, you can tap on the grayscale illustrations to see them magically turn color. You can also tap on each color to hear it play a note of the major musical scale.
It is also interesting to note that the row of colors on the front page doubles as a xylophone. The app can detect multiple touches at the same time, so you can play some interesting tunes. There is even an option to lock the front page so that you won't accidentally move to another page while playing the xylophone. This is a fun feature that significantly increases the app's value and lifespan.
Red in Bed is available in several languages: US English, British English, French, Spanish, and Hungarian. One thing that I have to mention is as of the current version (1.0), the app has no narration. However, I believe that it is an excellent story to read together with your junior.
Red in Bed is a delightful app. Having read it several times already, I think it may be one of my top five storybook apps for toddlers.
First of all, the story is just adorable. It is simple, short, and suitable for the app's targeted age range. I also think that it's a classic that you can read over and over again without feeling outdated.
The illustrations are colorful, as expected from a story about colors. They are beautiful in their simplicity, and I applaud the developer for his choice of colors and great use of white space.
Finally, I have to say that the best part of the app is its simple yet entertaining musical interactions on each page. There is enough going on to keep young readers engaged, but not too much to distract from the story. The xylophone on the first page is a nice touch as well, and it is an incredibly fun way to stimulate creativity.
Red in Bed is an engaging storybook app that introduces juniors to colors and music. It has a great story, lovely illustrations, and fun musical interactions that will keep young learners entertained. I would highly recommend it to parents with juniors ages four or below.
When I Grow Up.... Colorful app teachers juniors about different professions.
The Going to Bed Book. Whimsical, sleepy story of animals preparing for bed aboard a ship.


It's possible that it's because it was my first morning coffee after a few pints last night that made it so good, rather than the quality of the coffee itself. Ones own perception of these things is impacted by many factors….
I had to pop out to Houndsditch Post Office again today to post home the second tsunami of books. I'm really thinking I should buy shares in Royal Mail as this is costing a right royal fortune in postage.
On my way back I ran into Wilson and Rikesh from the office who got their coffee at "Association" coffee, right behind the Gherkin. This is another great coffee place that is rated highly by the Australian contingent in the office.
And of course since it was behind the Gherkin, another opportunity to provide the Obligatory Daily Gherkin pic.
Lunch was from the Japanese Canteen behind the Gherkin. This is right next door to "Association" coffee. This lunch spot is excellent and it's extremely popular.

Jubilation! Carol Leeming Made MBE Queen New Year Honors List 2019
Posted on December 30, 2018 by Carol Leeming MBE FRSA
Carol Leeming, is thrilled and over the moon, to receive a MBE in the Queen's New Year's Honors List for 2019 for her contribution to arts and culture in Leicester as poet and playwright. This life changing momentous event, crowns a successful run of successful acknowledgement and recognition for Carol and her work recently over the last few years. After experiencing initially world wide success in Dance music as singer/songwriter, performer in the nineties, cumulating with a co- written song, in the mega successful world hit British film Trainspotting. At the end of the nineties, Carol ceased her globe trotting, returned to Leicester due to family reasons, and busily set to work on two fronts, developing new talents for herself, as a poet and playwright, along with using her previous experience in the creative industries, at the highest level of the music industry, to be a mentor for early career and emerging African Caribbean and other BAME artists in Leicester.
Carol soon recognized it was also important to be a champion and advocate, for the under represented artists and creatives from BAME communities, firstly within Leicester then later across the East Midlands. This strand of work was about creating platforms i.e. events to showcase the talents of the artists/creatives she was working with. This started at Haymarket theatre, BBC Music Live Leicester Event, later Leicester Black History Season Events, e.g. Dare to Diva branded events with partners, e.g. Nubian Star Lounge, African Family Days and Style Up Event. Subsequently as regional Creative Manager at Mainstream Partnership, this lead to regional showcases in Performing and Visual Arts for BAME artists and creatives. Carol created further regional events which included , Creative Artist Salons, involving artists, programmers, artistic directors, curators and directors, e.g. in the wake of the McMasters Report, discussing what is excellence in the arts in 21st century Britain.
After continuing to develop as a creative writer, this led to a BBC Radio 4 Stages of Sound commission and radio broadcast, which was shortlisted for the Imison/Tinniwood Award (Authors Society/Writers Guild). A further pivotal point was Carol's participation, in the 2012 Cultural Olympiad – the national and international profiled programme of arts that accompanied the Olympics in Britain that year. Carol's contribution of a ground breaking choreopoem (text music physical theatre& still &moving images) titled The Loneliness of the Long Distance Diva produced directed and performed by her (with themes of music industry exploitation/celebrification) had its world premier at Curve theatre in 2012 – it thrilled audiences for several nights. Carol was then elected to be a Fellow of the Royal Society For The Arts. Eventually Carol's poetry gained further attention, was published in several poetry anthologies, including one by the prestigious Bloodaxe poetry publisher. Hailed as a chorepoet , her writing is referenced by Dr Corinne Fowler, Associate Professor, Post Colonial Literature, Director of the Centre for New Writing, University of Leicester, in the Cambridge Companion to British Black & Asian Literature(1945-2010) Cambridge University Press Ed. Deidre Osborne More creative writing commissions followed, along with literary festival appearances also. Carol's Debut chapbook The Declamations of Cool Eye has sold out to be reprinted as well a new poetry collection is in preparation.
Further theatre work as playwright, was a short play titled VEX (theme NGO corruption/Indigenous People& Land) e.g Brighton Dome theatre production as part of Angry Women Show. Roles as Director and Dramaturge for the play A Scholar & A Statesman by Pamela Roberts. Carol over the years has received a number of awards for her creative writing and arts work e.g. from Leicester Writers Club, 2017 East Midlands Outstanding Woman in Arts Media & Music . A second choreopoem written produced and directed, by Carol titled Love the Life you..Live the Life You Love (themes gender /identity/racism) had a successful preview production at Curve theatre 2018. Along with work as a Dialect Coach for Curve's production, the highly praised Memoirs of An Asian Football Casual, directed by Nikloai Foster adapted by Douglas Irvine from Leicester's Riz Khan's Memoir. Carol has co- written with Su Andi & Dorothea Smartt an article, titled Women Black Arts Brixton in the 1980's: A Conversation for Contemporary Women Writing Oxford University Press, arts & culture articles for lifestyle magazines, and is regularly invited, as arts & culture commentator by BBC Radio Leicester, Cultural Exchanges De Montfort University. Carol has served on the Boards of Arts Council England East Midlands and Demon FM Radio De Montfort University. Carol is looking forward to more exciting arts creative projects, with such an incredible start to 2019!


Empanadas, a popular street food in Latin American, trace back to Spain and Portugal where they were often filled with seafood. This empanada is filled with prawn and creamy queso fresco served with a tangy charred tomatillo salsa, perfect for parties and entertaining.
1. For the charred tomatillo sauce, toss tomatillos, serrano chilies and garlic with oil. Place on foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 4 to 6 minutes or until tomatillos and chilies begin to char in spots. Cool slightly. Place tomatillos, chilies and garlic in blender container. Add cream cheese and 1/2 cup of the queso fresco; cover. Blend on medium speed until pureed. Add green onions, cilantro, 1 tablespoon of the fresno chilies and salt. Blend until smooth.
2. For the empanada filling, mix 2/3 cup of the Charred Tomatillo Sauce with remaining 1/2 cup queso fresco in large bowl Add prawns, 1/4 cup of the almonds, 1 tablespoon of the remaining fresno chilies, cumin and ancho chile pepper; mix until well blended.
3. To assemble empanadas, unroll pie crusts on lightly floured surface. Using 4-inch round cutter, cut each into 5 rounds for a total of 20 rounds. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of filling onto half of each round. Moisten edge of each with water. Fold in half; press edge with a fork to seal. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Pierce top of each with fork to vent.
4. Bake in preheated 205°C/400°F oven 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Mix remaining 1/4 cup almonds with remaining 1 tablespoon fresno chilies. Sprinkle over empanadas. Serve with Charred Tomatillo Sauce.
Tips: Fresno chilies are similar in size to the jalapeño pepper. When green they have a mild heat level. As they ripen and turn red, they become hotter. If unavailable, substitute jalapeño or serrano chilies.
What is your favourite Latin American dish?

This unheralded position could benefit a potentially pedestrian Cleveland Browns' offense: Tom Reed
Updated: Jan. 11, 2019, 11:37 p.m. | Published: Apr. 10, 2015, 4:59 p.m.
punt returners
Gallery: punt returners
By Tom Reed, Cleveland.com
BEREA, Ohio -- The word "muff" does not belong in a sports story, regardless of Merriam-Webster's tacit approval.
It evokes images of 19th century women seated for portraits and fifth-grade humor of the lowest order.
Last season, Browns fans heard or read the word far too often as opponents' punts caromed maddeningly off the hands, chests and face-masks of Cleveland returners. Forget a decent return. By midseason, the Browns were just hoping to field the ball cleanly. It got so bad they resorted to a "designated punt catcher" -- Jim Leonhard -- and even he mishandled one.
Before the Colts signed him late in the season, ex-Browns special-teams ace Josh Cribbs said it "ate me up" watching his former side struggle in the return game.
"Being with Channel 3 (as a studio analyst), that's all we talked about," Cribbs said on Dec. 3. "Ball-security issues, being 31st in the league (in punt returns) at one point. ... That's not what they were known for. They've always been known to have a great unit. I know (special teams coordinator) Chris Tabor was upset about not having the best unit because he's a great coach."
Why broach the topic three weeks before a draft when all the talk focuses on quarterbacks, front-line receivers, edge rushers and run stoppers? Because the draft and the days following it mark the first chance to improve one of the Browns' glaring deficiencies.
Names such as Tyler Lockett (Kansas State), Jamison Crowder (Duke) and Nelson Agholor (USC) aren't in anyone's mock drafts. But they -- and those of their ilk -- should be players of interest to the Browns on the second and third days of the draft.
A season ago, the Browns finished 28th in punt returns (6.7 yard average) and led the NFL in fans holding their breath every time the ball was booted in their direction.
Obviously, the subject isn't as pertinent as finding the right quarterback. Tony Rizzo can't build a show around it and boys at the A to Z podcast won't be dedicating meaningful minutes to it. Special teamers are like divorce attorneys. You don't want to think about them until you really need one.
Travis Benjamin proved sure handed as a receiver last season, but struggled in the punt-return game.
The Browns covered kicks with the best in the league a year ago. Everything else was an adventure. Long snaps gone sideways. Field-goal attempts gone wide. No issue, however, was more problematic through the course of the season than the punt return.
Think about it: If the Browns don't drastically upgrade at quarterback, running back or wide receiver before September -- all distinct possibilities -- where else can they improve their chances for scoring? Where else can they shorten the field for quarterbacks Josh McCown and Johnny Manziel?
You can't count on Pro Bowl safety Tashaun Gipson intercepting a pass every game. Kickoff returns almost have been legislated out of the NFL over safety concerns. The one area you can spark an offense before it sets foot on the field is punt returns. The hope is Browns General Manager Ray Farmer told his scouts to be on the lookout for good ones.
Receiver Travis Benjamin, coming off a torn ACL, had a confounding season. The Rabbit made some of the most memorable catches of the year and led the Browns in touchdown receptions with three. Yet, the club's main punt returner had so much difficulty fielding a routine punt that Tabor turned to others such as Leonhard and Jordan Poyer.
Benjamin merits another chance, but the Browns need legitimate training-camp competition. Maybe give Justin Gilbert and Taylor Gabriel a shot. Better yet, dedicate a mid to lower-round draft pick or a quality undrafted free agent to the task. CBS Sports draft analyst Dane Brugler cited Lockett, Crowder, Agholor as potential targets along with Stanford's Ty Montgomery and Alabama-Birmingham burner J.J. Nelson. They are all receivers.
On a team that appears so pedestrian offensively, every yard closer to the goal line is precious. The Browns need to develop a quality punt returner so they can strike fear in opponents -- and the word "muff" from causal football conversation.

Liberals Leave Ex-Offenders Out in the Cold
Media Release - Tuesday, 11 October 2016
Rosalie Woodruff MP | Greens Justice spokesperson
When they axed the Reintegration of Ex-Offenders Program, the Liberals promised they would improve housing and assistance for ex-inmates. Instead, they've condemned them to extended periods of imprisonment and when they finally leave gaol, they do so without any housing support.
The REO program, run by the Salvation Army, was the only program in Tasmania to help ex-inmates find accommodation. It assisted them to move back into the community, and it dramatically reduced the likelihood of people returning to crime.
Between 1st September 2015 and 31st August 2016 none of the 109 ex-inmate housing applications, or parolees whose release was subject to securing accommodation, received housing through Housing Connect. The worst concerns of the Salvation Army, the Tenants Union and other organisations supporting ex-offenders have been confirmed.
In May 2015, the Attorney-General told Parliament that Housing Connect would operate an outreach service into the prison, and prisoners would have a wider access of housing options than under the REO program. The "wider housing option" Dr Goodwin promised for ex-offenders has turned out to be homelessness.
Dr Goodwin attempted to defend the housing failure during Question Time in Parliament this morning by recycling her comments from this year and last year's Budget Estimates. All this did was illustrate her complete ignorance of the current ex-offender housing predicament.
It's outrageous and cynical for the Liberals to stick to their line about providing improved housing programs, when not a single ex-prisoner has been able to get a house through them.
Dr Goodwin must explain why she was unaware that not a single ex-offender's Housing Connect application has resulted in them receiving accommodation.
The Attorney-General must also justify the unnecessary crowding at the prison that her policy causes. At the moment, otherwise eligible parolees are detained because they haven't been assisted to find housing.
People are being held at great expense to the taxpayer, instead of being housed and supported to change their lives.
The Attorney General needs to commit to reinstating funding for the REO program, for the sake of ex-offenders and their families, and in the interests of community safety.

Having enjoyed a comfortable lead in the Premier Division title race for much of the season, reigning Champions, Abbeyfeale United were gradually reeled in by Broadford United and were eventually overtaken last Friday week when the Fealesiders dropped two points at home to Newcastle West.
Broadford now lead by two points and will be crowned Champions on Sunday if they collect six points in the final weekend of Premier league action.
It would represent a remarkable achievement by manager Jim Neenan and his charges who have won their last twelve league games, dating back to October 11.
However, it won't be easy to complete the deal as Broadford have two tough games remaining, at home to Desmond Cup Finalists, Rathkeale, on Friday and away to Killeaney, where Abbeyfeale clinched the title last season, on Sunday.
To keep the pressure on Broadford, Abbeyfeale need to win their last two games, hosting relegated Shannonside FC on Friday and travelling to Newcastle West Rovers on Sunday.

5 Times Trump People Were Trapped Into Creating Russiagate Narratives
Actors attempting to entice Donald Trump campaign officials were connected to either the U.S. government or to Hillary Clinton-retained opposition research firm Fusion GPS, or both.
By Adam Mill
After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, law enforcement began using a controversial technique to prevent future attacks. Reporters working for the radio podcast "This American Life" compared it to the premise of the 1998 movie, "The Truman Show." If you haven't watched that, it's about a man who unwittingly stars in a complex television show in which all the figures in his life are actors.
"This American Life" No. 387 profiles the sting operation that successfully led to a felony conviction against Hemant Lakhani for selling a shoulder-fired missile to terrorists. Upon his arrest, Lakhani asked, "Where is everyone else?" referring to the numerous players in the conspiracy. His lawyer then broke the news: they were all government agents. Every aspect of the "conspiracy" was provided by the government, including the hotel room where the transaction took place, the fake missile, the fake terrorist, the fake missile supplier, etc.
Like the main character in "The Truman Show," Lakhani unwittingly starred in an elaborately staged piece of fiction that slowly drew him into committing an overt act that led to his arrest and conviction even though all the other conspirators were simply actors using props and scripts.
"This American Life" notes these "Truman Show" prosecutions have led to several highly publicized arrests and convictions of "terrorists" who were radicalized, financed, and encouraged by federal agents. In some instances, "This American Life" reported, the "terrorists" were simply lonely, low-IQ, near-homeless people seduced by the money and attention the government used to bait them into the crimes.
New Strzok-Page texts reveal "Media Leak Strategy." @FoxNews So terrible, and NOTHING is being done at DOJ or FBI – but the world is watching, and they get it completely.
In several eerily similar instances related to the Russia investigation, actors attempting to entice Donald Trump campaign officials were connected to either the U.S. government or to Hillary Clinton-retained opposition research firm Fusion GPS, or both. Are we watching "The Truman Show," Russia edition, starring Donald Trump?
1. Joseph Mifsud Plants an Idea in Papadopoulos's Head
Consider first the April 2016 conversation in London between Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos and professor Joseph Mifsud. Misfud planted in Papadopoulos' head the idea the Russians had damaging information about Clinton. Misfud is a Maltese professor who may also be "an FBI informant or an asset of a foreign government," although the truth about him remains under wraps.
Shortly after that meeting, Australian Ambassador Alexander Downer, who once "arranged one of the largest foreign donations to Bill and Hillary Clinton's" foundation, reached out to Papadopoulos for a meeting. Downer scooped up the rumor Misfud apparently planted. He then passed that rumor back to Elizabeth Dibble, who "previously served as a principal deputy assistant secretary in Mrs. Clinton's State Department."
Next, Henry Greenberg, a longtime FBI informant, tried something similar with Trump campaign staffer Michael Caputo. Greenberg claimed to have "unspecified dirt" on Clinton. Trump campaign associate Roger Stone rebuffed the offer when Greenberg asked for money for the information.
2. The Trump Tower Entrapment
This brings us to the crown jewel of the Trump-Russia conspiracy theorists: The Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr. Like a scene from "The Truman Show," Fusion GPS is connected to many of the actors and the essential prop: the file on Clinton used as bait for the meeting.
Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya was in America to represent a Russian client she shared with Fusion GPS. This allowed her to attend the Trump Tower meeting. Veselnitskaya approached Trump Jr. through the son of Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov, claiming to have documents and information from the Russian government that would incriminate Clinton. She did not have documents from the Russian government. Her bait was a file on Hillary Clinton that Fusion GPS had created.
Let's stop here. If the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory were true, then at the time Veselnitskaya offered the meeting to Donald Jr., she should have been able to offer him some of the emails Russia had allegedly stolen. The Democratic National Committee alleges that Russia stole emails from the DNC server in April of 2016—approximately a month and a half before the Trump Tower meeting.
So why would it be necessary to use Fusion GPS research as bait if Veselnitskaya actually represented the Russian government? Probably because the Veselnitskaya file on Hillary was a Fusion GPS-created phony prop. Like Truman noticing the fake elevator or the actors who just keep repeating the same fake behavior, Trump Jr. appeared to have smelled a rat during the meeting and left.
Veselnitskaya met with Fusion GPS founder Glen Simpson immediately before and after the Trump Tower meeting. Also in the meeting was Rinat Akhmetshin, who had known Simpson for "over a decade" prior to the meeting. In other words, the Russian actors in the Trump Tower meeting were cast from Fusion GPS's rolodex.
3. Stefan Halper's Information Plants
In the last few months, we learned of another actor with ties to the FBI, Stefan Halper. He appears to be on retainer with the Central Intelligence Agency. He paid to have Papadopoulos come back to London in July 2016. In a private moment, Halper is said to have told Papadopoulos, "George, you know about hacking the emails from Russia, right?" Papadopoulos told Halper he didn't know anything about emails or Russian hacking, and Halper dropped the topic.
4. Bruce Ohr's Recruitment of a Russian Oligarch
Finally, we recently learned that Bruce Ohr attempted to recruit yet another Russian act in the show. On September 1, The New York Times revealed that Ohr attempted to recruit Russian oligarch Oleg V. Deripaska, whom the Times says is Vladimir Putin's favorite oligarch.
Ohr and Steele had relationships with Deripaska going back to 2014. They dangled an offer of visas to get Deripaska to accept the role. Deripaska has denied that Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort had served as a link between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Their man inside Putin's inner circle called the government's theory of this conspiracy 'preposterous.'
Then there is this stunning admission near the end of the article: "Mr. Deripaska, though, told the F.B.I. agents that while he had no love for Mr. Manafort, with whom he was in a bitter business dispute, he found their theories about his role on the campaign 'preposterous.' He also disputed that there were any connections between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to the person familiar with the exchange."
After almost two years of Trump-Russia, we learned over the Labor Day weekend that their man inside Putin's inner circle called the government's theory of this conspiracy "preposterous." That seems like something the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court might have wanted to know before continuing to grant permission to spy on an American.
Is this also something acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein knew before approving of the spying? Did he receive any briefings directly from Ohr about the Deripaska operation?
The New York Times' anonymous source admits to illegally leaking the classified details of the failed Ohr/Steele Deripaska project to prevent the president from "cherry-picking" from it for his own political benefit. Fortunately for supporters of constitutional governance, such deep state actors outsmart themselves by continuing to confirm the DOJ's interest in countermanding the results of American elections. Recall, in addition to attempting to engineer this Trump-Russia sting, Fusion GPS paid Ohr's wife to help create the Trump-Russia dossier.
5. The Comey-Trump Meeting Setup
The final act of the DOJ's Trump-Russia "Truman Show" was the January 2017 meeting between former FBI director James Comey and president-elect Trump, in which Comey revealed the dossier's key salacious allegation that Putin had blackmail information on Trump. In this meeting, the top FBI official accomplished something a Mueller investigator cannot replicate: An unguarded interview between the president and law enforcement over the truth of the dossier.
The DOJ keeps the investigation going as a pretext to continue obstructing inquiry into the sting.
Without an attorney present or time to prepare, Trump gave a spontaneous answer as Comey played a concerned advisor warning the president. The president expressed shock and gave the response an innocent person would give by asking if Comey could investigate to get the real facts out.
The show is now over. Truman's analog, President Trump, is wise to the phony actors pretending to represent Russia. The election, likewise, is long over. Yet the Mueller investigation continues. These pre-election scenes have all been acted out and cannot be (truthfully) retroactively engineered. Mueller has ready access to the details of these scenes, as they are already known to those in the government and Fusion GPS who directed and scripted them.
Yet we are told that revealing the details of this sting operation will somehow interfere with the ongoing investigation. In reality, it's the other way around. It's not that the details of the sting need to be kept secret to protect the ongoing investigation. The DOJ keeps the investigation going as a pretext to continue obstructing inquiry into the sting.
The sting appears to constitute a Clinton campaign attempt to subcontract the DOJ to interfere with the U.S. election. The future fairness of our elections requires accountability. DOJ needs to come clean to the voters and their elected representatives.
This article has been corrected respecting the year in which the Trump-Comey meeting took place.

Swine flu vaccine far more dangerous than swine flu itself
by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) A closer look at the overall infection and death rate from confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza during the 2009–2010 "pandemic," as declared by the World Health Organization (WHO), has revealed that the widely administered vaccine for swine flu is far more deadly than the disease itself. As it turns out, far more people were injured with permanent brain damage, narcolepsy or even death from the vaccine compared to the number of injuries and deaths directly attributed to H1N1.
One out of every 16,000 people who received the Pandemrix vaccine (manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline) for swine flu, according to the International Business Times, developed narcolepsy or cataplexy, a condition that results in a person not being able to sleep for more than 90 minutes at a time, and falling unexpectedly unconscious throughout the day with no warning. The condition is a marker of brain damage, in fact, which is why the UK government agreed to pay out 60 million pounds, or about $92 million, to victims.
Roughly 60 million people received the Pandemrix vaccine for swine flu during the declared pandemic, which means that nearly 4,000 people likely now suffer from narcolepsy or cataplexy as a result. Meanwhile, the actual death rate from confirmed cases of swine flu was minimal, with only 71 confirmed deaths in the UK between April 2009 and February 2010. In the U.S., the reported number was a bit higher, but it has since been revealed that the official numbers were inflated.
As it turns out, most of the supposed cases of swine flu in the U.S. as reported in the media were not actually swine flu at all, nor were they any type of flu! Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson recently confirmed this after consulting with the top federal agency that deals with such matters, which refused to provide her with the actual laboratory results to back its official death numbers.
"I exclusively obtained lab test results from 50 states when the Centers for Disease Control refused to produce them," reported Attkisson. "The results showed that most of the supposed cases of swine flu were not swine flu at all [emphasis added]. In fact, they weren't any type of flu."
Taxpayers, not GSK, ended up footing the bill for brain damage caused by swine flu vaccine
This suggests that most of the alleged 15,000 deaths that occurred in the U.S. from swine flu were actually deaths from other causes, and that H1N1 was not really as big of a deal as health authorities claimed it was. But this fact doesn't help the thousands of injured or dead children that met an early fate due to GSK's poisons.
While a total of 60 individuals in the UK are reportedly being compensated by the government for injuries resulting from Pandemrix, there are many more people out there, including many children, who are now seriously ill or dead from the vaccine without recompense. And to add insult to injury, it is the taxpayers that are compensating these injured folks, not GSK.
"Why are taxpayers footing the bill instead of the maker of the vaccine, GlaxoSmithKline?" asked Attkisson. "Under a similar arrangement that vaccine makers have in the U.S., GlaxoSmithKline would only agree to supply the vaccine if it was indemnified against any claim for any resulting injuries."
Sadly, many of those injured by the Pandemrix vaccine, either compensated or not, are now permanently harmed. Some of them will require lifelong care for their vaccine-induced diseases, which never would have come about if these folks had just avoided the jab. How many more people need to lose their lives and livelihoods before the vaccine racket is taken down and eliminated?

I choose these inserts because they are priced well and the size I ordered is not readily available.
The perfect size for accent pillows on dining chairs.
Just the size I need for dining room chairs!
I chose this pillow form, because I have another I purchased from OnlineFabric. Like the shape, the comfort.
This says pillow form....is this an actual pillow???
BEST ANSWER: Yes. This form is encased in the high quality liner. For a tighter fit the form should be larger than the acutual cover. A 22x22 fills a 20x20 cover perfectly. The smaller rectangle forms do not need to be larger.
Yes, it's filled with down and feathers and is meant to be used inside a decorative pillow cover.
This is the pillow insert to put inside of a decorative case of the same dimensions.
Does this 10 x 14 pillow come with a cover or can I buy one for this size pillow?
BEST ANSWER: This pillow has a cotton cover that encloses the down and feathers, but a separate cover is not available.
I have a pillow cover size 10 x 14, which size pillow would work best to put inside it?

Balth. Blickle's Wwe. war ein bekanntes Textilunternehmen in Tailfingen, heute ein Stadtteil von Albstadt im Zollernalbkreis in Baden-Württemberg. Es stellte unter den Marken "Ahorn" und "Blickle's International" Sportkleidung, vor allem Polohemden, Tennis-, Jogging- und Freizeitkleidung her und vertrieb sie auch. Das Unternehmen bestand von 1876 bis 1990.

Geschichte

Anfänge
Baltasar Blickle (* 6. Februar 1851; † 10. August 1885) gründete das Unternehmen im Jahr 1876. Er kaufte zusammen mit seinem Bruder Jakob eine 32-zöllige Rundstrickmaschine, die noch von Hand bedient wurde. Die Brüder arbeiteten gemeinsam an dieser Maschine. Doch im gleichen Jahr trennten sie sich wieder. In einem Losentscheid fiel die Maschine an Jakob Blickle.

Schon wenige Wochen später erwarb Baltasar Blickle mit Unterstützung seines Schwiegervaters eine andere Rundstrickmaschine zur Herstellung von Gaufré-Stoffen, das sind Stoffe mit Kreppeffekt, die der Herstellung von Röcken dienten. Wie auf der Schwäbischen Alb nicht gerade selten, wurde der Rundstrickmaschine in der Wohnstube von Baltasar Blickle und seiner Frau Salome aufgestellt. Die Eheleute Blickle arbeiteten beide an der Maschine. Die Fertigung erfolgte zunächst im Lohnauftrag für die Firma Liebmann & Levi aus Hechingen, die die Garne lieferte und den verarbeiteten Stoff wieder abnahm. Noch im gleichen Jahr schafften die Eheleute eine Nähmaschine an, so dass die Röcke auch konfektioniert, verpackt und ausgeliefert werden konnten. Im Jahre 1877 wurde bereits der erste Mitarbeiter eingestellt, ein Verwandter.

1884 erwarb das Ehepaar Blickle von Liebmann & Levi zehn 36-zöllige Rundstrickmaschinen. Ein Neubau wurde notwendig, um die Maschinen aufzunehmen.

Balth. Blickle's Wwe.
Baltasar Blickle starb am 10. August 1885 im Alter von 34 Jahren. Seine Witwe Salome führte den Betrieb fort und stellte ihn von einer Lohnfertigung auf eine Eigenfertigung um. Sie bewirkte auch die Ersteintragung des Unternehmens im Handelsregister unter Balth. Blickle's Wwe. Salome Blickle erweiterte das Produktionsprogramm wesentlich: Damenunterröcke, Herren- und Damenunterhosen, Kinderanzügen, Herren- und Damenjacken sowie Hemden kamen hinzu.

Expansion
Im Jahr 1900 übernahmen ihre Söhne Hans und Rudolf Blickle die Leitung des Unternehmens. Da die Nachfrage nach den Produkten des Unternehmens in dem Betrieb in Tailfingen nicht mehr befriedigt werden konnte, wurden drei Filialen in Neufra und Trochtelfingen gegründet.

1909 erstellten sie einen Fabrikneubau in der Hechinger Straße 43 in Tailfingen, der bis zum Jahre 1990 der Sitz des Unternehmens war.

Schon vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg exportierte das Unternehmen seine Produkte, bevorzugt nach Großbritannien. Dies führte jedoch im Krieg zu Verlusten, da Forderungen und Kontoguthaben verloren gingen. Die alten Lieferbeziehungen wurden jedoch nach dem Krieg wieder aufgenommen und brachten gute Erträge, so dass bereits 1921 in Tailfingen ein weiteres Fertigungsgebäude in der Dorotheenstraße 31 erstellt wurde.

In den 1930er Jahren rückte die dritte Familiengeneration im Unternehmen nach, nämlich Edi und Paul Blickle, die Söhne von Hans Blickle sowie Rudolf und Arthur Blickle, die Söhne von Werner Blickle.

Die Nachkriegszeit
Den Zweiten Weltkrieg überstand das Unternehmen glimpflich. Die Fabrikgebäude kamen nicht zu Schaden, dagegen demontierte die französische Besatzungsmacht am 22. Mai 1945 15 die neuesten Spezialmaschinen, sechs Interlockmaschinen sowie einen kompletten Krempelsatz und zwei Selfaktoren. Damit brach die Produktion zusammen. Dem Unternehmen gelang es jedoch, den Maschinenbestand wieder aufzustocken.

Die Nachkriegsjahre führten zu einer starken Nachfrage, die am Standort in Tailfingen nicht mehr befriedigt werden konnte. So wurde 1949 in Empfingen das Gasthaus zum Bären erworben und dort eine Nähereifiliale eingerichtet. Diese wurde auch bald zu klein, deshalb wurde 1954 in Empfingen ein Fabrikneubau erstellt.

Weitere Nähereifilialen wurden errichtet: 1950 in Zillhausen, 1959 in Ostrach und Herdwangen sowie 1960 in Rohrdorf. Im lothringischen Sarrebourg wurde die Tochtergesellschaft Blickle's International France S.A.R.L. gegründet.

Marken
Das Unternehmen wurde mit seinen Marken "Ahorn" und "Blickle's International" im Markt bekannt. Die Produktpalette umfasst Sportkleidung, vor allem Tennis- und Jogginganzüge, aber auch Freizeitanzüge und vor allem Polohemden. 1985 beschäftigte das Unternehmen über 400 Arbeitnehmer.

Niedergang
Das Unternehmen befand sich Ende der 1980er Jahre nunmehr in den Händen der vierten Familiengeneration. Geschäftsführer und persönlich haftende Gesellschafter waren nunmehr Rudolf und Jürgen Blickle. Sie spürten den Importdruck aus den Billiglohnländern. Es wurde immer schwieriger, eine Vollfertigung von Kleidungsstücken in Deutschland aufrechtzuerhalten. Die beiden Vertriebsmarken waren nicht so bekannt, dass sie hochpreisig durchsetzbar gewesen wären. Diese Entwicklung führte dazu, dass die meisten Filialen geschlossen wurden.

1988 wurde das Unternehmen in eine GmbH & Co. KG umgewandelt. Rudolf und Jürgen Blickle schieden als Komplementäre aus. Dafür trat die neugegründete Balth. Blickle's Wwe. Verwaltungs GmbH in die bestehende Kommanditgesellschaft als persönlich haftende Gesellschafterin ein. Rudolf und Jürgen Blickle blieben jedoch Geschäftsführer.

Der Niedergang des Unternehmens konnte dadurch jedoch nicht vermieden werden. Während 1987 noch ein Umsatz von 30,8 Mio. und ein Gewinn von 0,7 Mio. DM erzielt wurde, ging der Umsatz 1988 auf 22,7 Mio. und 1989 auf 20,2 Mio. DM zurück. Die Verluste beliefen sich jetzt auf 1,8 bzw. 2,5 Mio. DM in diesen beiden Jahren.

Versuche, das Unternehmen zu sanieren, scheiterte. In der Produktion wurden Arbeitsplätze eingespart. Dies war jedoch bei weitem nicht ausreichend, zumal sich auch die Mode änderte und am Markt die Polohemden durch Sweatshirts und T-Shirts ersetzt wurden. Das Unternehmen war diesem Modetrend nicht rechtzeitig gefolgt.

Gerichtliches Vergleichsverfahren
Die Geschäftsführung beantragte am 26. Oktober 1989 beim Amtsgericht Albstadt die Eröffnung des gerichtlichen Vergleichsverfahrens zur Abwendung des Konkurses. Das Gericht bestellte den Stuttgarter Rechtsanwalt Volker Grub zum vorläufigen Vergleichsverwalter. Von der Insolvenz waren vier Standorte betroffen: Die zwei Werke in Tailfingen, das Werk in Empfingen sowie die Tochtergesellschaft in Sarrebourg. Das Unternehmen beschäftigte noch 190 Arbeitnehmer, davon 129 gewerbliche und 61 angestellte Arbeitnehmer. Die Tochtergesellschaft in Frankreich beschäftigte noch 100 Arbeitnehmer.

Im Hinblick auf die harte Konkurrenz aus den Billiglohnländern und dem Ausbleiben von Interessenten für die Übernahme des Unternehmens waren der vorläufige Vergleichsverwalter und die Geschäftsführung einig, es im Zuge eines Konkursverfahrens stillzulegen. Das Amtsgericht Balingen eröffnete am 15. Dezember 1989 das Anschlusskonkursverfahren. Grub wurde auch zum Konkursverwalter bestellt.

Konkurs
Der Konkursverwalter verfügte die Stilllegung der Produktion zum 31. Dezember 1989 mit Ausnahme des Produktionswerkes in Empfingen, das er mit einem Vertrag vom 20. Dezember 1989 an die Firma Intex Dessous GmbH in Alzey verkaufte. Intex übernahm 28 Arbeitnehmer des Werkes Empfingen, das ursprünglich 100 Arbeitnehmer beschäftigte.

Die Tochtergesellschaft in Sarrebourg, die 100 Mitarbeiter beschäftigte, wurde im Wege eines Managements-Buy-outs von dem Geschäftsführer Daniel Chaufette übernommen. Er fand für diese Übernahme einen deutschen Partner, die Firma Fürstenberg in Göppingen. Übernommen wurden jedoch nur 25 Arbeitnehmer.

Der Grundbesitz des Unternehmens in Tailfingen sowie das Fabrikanwesen in Empfingen wurden ebenfalls verwertet. Darunter befand sich auch das Stammhaus des Unternehmens in der Hechinger Straße 43 in Tailfingen, das an eine Privatinvestorin zu einem verhältnismäßig niederen Kaufpreis veräußert wurde, da es zahlreiche Mängel aufwies.

Das Konkursverfahren wurde 1994 beendet. Auf die Konkursforderungen in Höhe von 9,5 Mio. DM wurde eine Quote von 73 % ausgeschüttet.

Heute
Im Oktober 2019 berichtete die Presse, dass das ehemals denkmalgeschützte Fabrikgebäude von Balth. Blickle's Wwe. an der Hechinger Str. 43 in Tailfingen einsturzgefährdet sei und daher alle angrenzenden Verkehrswege gesperrt und eine Umleitung für den Verkehr auf der Hechinger Straße eingerichtet wurde. Im Gebäude würden Sanierungsarbeiten durchgeführt. Der verantwortliche Architekt Friedrich Rau sprach von einem sich zerbröselnden Bauwerk. Die Statik sei nicht mehr in Ordnung, nachdem ein Nachbargebäude vor vielen Jahren abgerissen wurde, an den sich das Bauwerk angelehnt hatte.

Das Haus in der Andergasse 106 ist ein Anwesen in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, bei dem als Spolie eingebaute mittelalterliche Spitzbogengewände denkmalgeschützt sind.

Lage
Das Gebäude befindet sich innerhalb des Stadtteils Hambach an der Weinstraße an dessen südwestlichen Siedlungsrand innerhalb der örtlichen Andergasse.

Gebäude

Das Haus enthält als Spolie einen denkmalgeschützten  Spitzbogen von der nahen Kästenburg, die später zum Hambacher Schloss umgebaut wurde. Dieser war einst ein Fenster im Wohnbau besagter Burg. Aufgrund des Rundstabs sowie der Bossierung ist er dem sogenannten Mischstil zugehörig und entstand um 1250.

Bei der Errichtung des Hauses wurde es als Türrahmen zum Keller eingebaut, mutmaßlich um 1800 durch den damaligen Besitzer Johann Adam Endlich. Inzwischen ist das Gebäude Eigentum der Familie Norbert Glas.

Im Laufe der 2000er Jahre wurde am Bauwerk – wie bei vielen anderen innerhalb von Hambach – eine Infotafel mit der Überschrift Spitzbogen von der Kästenburg angebracht, die einen geschichtlichen Abriss über das Gebäude enthält.

The value of a company is usually the first thing investors in Singapore would like to know before buying shares or before embarking in any form of investment venture. So how can you assess the value of a company? Nowadays, people are usually inclined to connect the value of a product or service with its relative price. If the price of the goods in question is elevated, this usually implies that it is important and precious.
This mentality is not applicable when it comes to shares.
Once in a while, you can take notice of certain observations on how a certain company is big and important because it vaunts an elevated share price compared to its competitors.
The truth is the share price of a given company is not enough to tell you how important, big and valuable the company is. In other words, the share price of a company is not an indication of the size and value of the company.
Of course, we will not provide you with a specific account on how the share price of a company is established (you have to make use of your favourite browser for that!). Nonetheless, we'll supply you with some elucidations to make things a little bit simpler and comprehensible.
Supposing you are the owner of a debt-free company and it is assessed to be worth S$100 by a group of professionals whose exclusive motivation in life is to estimate the value of companies like the one you have (mind you, this group is real and authentic and they are called stock analysts).
Let's also suppose that you're sick and tired of your company and, instead of closing it definitely, you want to give it away to 10 selected investors.
The best way to uphold this decision is to issue 10 shares, which means one share to each investor. Hypothetically, each given share would be worth S$10 – plain and easy Mathematics (S$100 divided by 10).
Clear at this point, right?
Now let's continue by supposing that, instead of 10 shares, you would like to issue 100 shares. Thus, each investor would get 10 shares, every share worth S$1 – again, plain and easy Math (S$100 divided by 100).
So if you, the owner of the company, issue 1,000 shares, every investor would get 100 shares, and every share would be worth S$ 0.10.
Do you get the whole process?
Have you observed how the price of a share has no connection with the value of the company? Whether it involves S$ 0.10 per share or S$10 per share, the price tells you nothing about the value of the company (in this case, S$100). Thus, to calculate the value of the company, you've got to have a notion on the number of shares that has been issued.
Supposing, again, that this group of 10 investors believes that your company is really worth S$200 instead of the original S$100 (bear in mind that the original company valuation of S$100 was made by stock analysts).
In this particular occasion, shelling-out S$10 per share (supposing you, as the owner, only issued 10 shares) is considered a really good deal. This is so because to the investors, every share should really have a value of S$20.
There can be various motivations why such investors believe your company valuation is more than it should be (maybe they are aware of information concerning your company that stock analysts have failed to perceive like new technological innovations that would make the difference or probably they believe that with a drastic change of management, the company will finally obtain its goals and get to its full potential).
The fact is, S$200 represents the value of your company according to your selected investors. It is simply a valuation that they have established autonomously, according to their best appraisal and judgement. Such evaluation is also an opinion they have of your company. To the investors, buying at S$10 per share is really a great deal, a bargain, but, as far as the group of stock analysts is concerned, S$10 per share is just a reasonable price.
So what are the key notions you've learned here?
1) The important aspect you should bear in mind is the share price of a company is not sufficient to tell you about the real value of a company. This is so because a company can simply influence its share price by releasing more or a lesser amount of shares.
2) Your general perception or notion of the company will reveal you whether the share of a company is expensive or cheap. This means that, if you are not a skilled stock or investment analyst or if you are not equipped with any particular information that may help you to assess the value of a given company, it is sensible and wise to assume you don't know anything.
3) We did not delve on this, but, all the same, to establish the size of a company, the usual praxis is to multiply the number of shares issued by the company with its share price (in the finance sector, this is called market capitalisation or "market cap" of the company).
