Everywhere we turn we are saturated by advertisements. Whether they're staring back at us from a billboard, flashing up on our computer screen or wrapped in stickers around the bus we are on.
Eye-catching advertising costs big bucks and several of the companies behind them are ASX high-flyers that every investor should have on their watchlist.
Home media company oOh!Media Ltd has been in the news lately for snaring advertising rights to Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN) in-flight entertainment.
The good news has seen oOh!Media hover on the S&P/ASX200 gains list this week with an April 4 closing price of $4.63 – up 1.7%.
Share prices for oOh!Media have been volatile over the last 12-months, sinking to lows of $3.86, but the Qantas deal will see oOh!Media's customers exposed to more than 28 million domestic and international passengers annually after oOh!Media managed to take over the contract from multi-screen advertiser MCN.
oOh!Media had a strong FY17 with revenue growth of 13% and statutory NPAT up 35.5% to $33.1 million.
With a fully-franked dividend of 15c per share and plenty of term left on contracts that represent more than 65% of its revenue, investors seem confident oOh!Media has decent earnings potential going forward.
Shares in APN Outdoor Group Ltd have had a hard 12-months, but have been tracking up steadily since mid-March, closing on April 4 up 1% at $4.70, still a fair way off its $5.79 price at this time last year.
APN logged a 4% revenue boost for the year ended December 31, 2017, lifted mainly by its digital arm which rose 13% on its own merit.
APN saw an NPAT drop of 9% for the same period, but the company maintains a strong balance sheet and dividend yield of 5.8%.
APN has its sights set on snatching contracts from its competitors in the medium term while maintaining its existing contracts and it will be interesting to see if it manages to increase its market share in this manner.
As the owner of much-loved realestate.com.au, REA Group Limited is trading at 31 times its FY19 estimated earnings, with its share price tracking up steadily in the last 12-months from $60.71 at this time last year to its April 4 close of $77.82.
REA is in the midst of managing an offshore expansion into the US, India and South East Asia, and if it can leverage these markets it might have a shot at hitting the $90 share price target Citigroup slapped on the share a month ago.
REA is tracking around 12% above its 200-period moving average and it doesn't look like there will be a slowdown anytime soon for the property website giant.
Domain Holdings Australia Ltd caused some shockwaves on the ASX when it listed in November 2017 and all eyes have been on the stock ever since, with prices down from the IPO of $3.69 to a $3.15 close on April 4.
Domain relies on the same premise that REA Group does to survive – that Australians are addicted to property – and so far its time as a listed company has been relatively uneventful, save for an unexpected CEO exit with the departure of Anthony Catalano which saw share prices plummet 6.3%.
Domain is yet to log any significant financial results, but all eyes will be fixed on the online advertiser when it does.
It would be remiss to sum up the top advertisers on the ASX without giving online employment classifieds platform SEEK Limited a mention.
SEEK shares have been on a downward swing since mid-March, dropping from $21.01 on March 12 to its April 4 close of $18.48, but over the last 12-months has been one of the best performing blue chips on the S&P/ASX 200.
Investors may be spooked by rumours Google for Jobs is due to launch in Australia in the future, which would certainly give SEEK a run for its money.
Morgans downgraded SEEK to sell rating from a hold in March, cutting the price target on its shares from $21.07 to $19.07 but it's unlikely this high-flyer will be down for long.

Keep building amazing things in the world!
— Jessica Jackley, co-founder of KIVA and author of Clay, Water, Brick.
You're weaving a wonderful fabric of caring and giving. Thank you!
Carly is 13 years old and an 8th Grade middle school student in Tiburon, California.
In a period of 24 months, over a series of 9 school fundraisers, the program has raised $8,000 for 10 nonprofits working in Africa, addressing challenges such as providing food and shelter for street children in Congo, orphanages in Uganda, and scholarships for girls in Kenya.
This includes a matching Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) donation of $1,000 for which Carly made a pitch to a $350 Million corporation.
A principle of the PFA motto "Frugalis Creativus" – frugality and creativity, is that creativity and innovation has a 'value', but that that value needs to be uncovered and recognized.
For example, about 3 years ago, the PFA Team started conducting interviews with Executive Directors of nonprofits on the African continent. Sometimes, the interviews were conducted with Skype calls and sometimes the PFA Team had an in-person visit with one of the directors, as they did with Annabelle Chauncy, the Executive Director of School for Life Foundation and with Molly Burke, the Executive Director of Bicycles Against Poverty. The value that Chyah and I perceived at this stage was that these interviews helped to develop writing skills for the PFA Team.
During one of the vibrant PFA Team discussions it began to dawn on us that if we were to do school fundraisers for nonprofits in Africa, then we already had an archive of knowledge from the interviews the team had conducted.
Amazing progress and so proud of these super fundraisers!
When I started Nyaka 15 years ago I knew children's lives would be changed – but I was thinking of children in rural Uganda not the PFA children in San Francisco. Now I see that lives of children all over the world are being changed.
Thank you PFA for all you do to change the lives of so many.
This insight made us realize that in addition to the interviews providing the PFA Team with the opportunity to hone their writing skills, the interviews also doubled as a form of 'due diligence' and 'research' on the value-added of these nonprofits operating in Africa, particularly since the PFA Team had interviewed and remained in regular contact with their Executive Directors.
The 'value' of having all this 'research' emboldened the PFA Team to begin to compile and compose a PFA 'portfolio' of nonprofits operating in Africa.
The portfolio evolved into what is today the success model of Portfolio PFA.
The PFA Team is now taking this success model to the next level through the launching of Portfolio CSR, to bring the value of the PFA Team's skill set in nonprofit 'due diligence' and 'research' to the business community to incentivize Corporate Social Responsibility.

Gender-Neutral Birth Certificates?
John StonestreetMaria Baer
Maria Baer
Last month, the American Medical Association announced it will advocate removing sex designation from public birth certificates. Marking gender on the official document, says the AMA, could lead to discrimination for those who identify as transgender later in life.
"There is no clear standard for defining sex designation," AMA authors wrote, stating that "gender is a social construct."
Strangely enough, the AMA still recommends that hospitals accurately record a baby's sex on the U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth, a document used for government data-keeping.
This brings up important questions. If there is no clear standard for defining sex designation, what standard will be used for government documents? If gender is a mere social construct, why would the government need a record of it? Why would an association of medical professionals weigh in on something so obviously not scientific? How can anyone trust an association that asks the state to tell lies? And if these lies aren't fit for official government purposes, why should we accept them in any other part of life?

Does your life seem dull and uninteresting compared to the drama and action of movies and television? The guys from ThinkGeek examined that phenomenon carefully and developed several interactive T-shirts for you. With the sense which came along with overwhelming exposure to reality TV shows and quickly produced movies which are based on similar plots or themes, they noted that what people do in real life is NOT significantly less exciting than what fictional characters on the screen experience.
Your real life experiences just don't have the needed dramatic soundtrack to back them up. Whether you're brushing your teeth, walking your dog or chatting up that cute girl in chemistry class you need the appropriate music and sound effects to enhance the experience. Fortunately they have developed the solution for this irritating life boredom problem with the Personal Soundtrack Shirt (or you'll be able to irritate people around you more than you could before).
The Personal Soundtrack Shirt is an amazing new wearable audio solution that features a working speaker embedded into the front of the shirt. When you push the appropriate button on the pocket remote you get music or sound effects appropriate for any situation. Check out the chart below to see the extensive list of built in sounds and suggestions on using them for dramatic punctuation in your everyday life.
If you don't like the built in sounds, you can simply pop in your own SD memory card loaded with MP3 files to use your own sound effects and music. The Personal Soundtrack Shirt remote has buttons ranging from 1 to 20, and each button can play a different sound. The filename of your MP3 file determines which button will be used to play the sound. So if you name your file "03.mp3" it will play when you hit the "3" button on the remote. If you add an "L" to the end of the filename your sound will loop until you stop it. So "04L.mp3" would play when you hit button "4" and loop endlessly until you hit a new sound or the pause button.
The Personal Soundtrack Shirt can also play sound from your portable audio player through the speaker on the front of the shirt. Simply connect your portable audio player to the audio "input" jack on the battery box of the shirt and power it on (you will need a male-to-male headphone cable, not included). The Soundtrack Shirt amplifies your music and you can use the volume control on your portable audio player to control the volume level of the shirt.
The Electronic Guitar Shirt is not a toy that plays pre-canned musical riffs, it is a real musical instrument that allows you to play most of your favorite songs and sound great doing it. All major chords are recorded from a real electric guitar, and the included magnetic pick allows you to strum just like you would a real guitar. The included mini amp clips to your belt and gets plenty loud with great sounding amplification circuitry. The tone knob on the amp lets you adjust the sound just like a real guitar. It is simple, with power button and indicator, tone knob and volume knob which can be turned to 11 instead usual 10.
They also made an electronic T-shirt with a picture of an actual playable drum kit on the front. You can hit the drums on this shirt with your finger and they play through the built in speaker. With 7 different drum sounds you're ready for a personal drum solo on your chest. Another T-shirt they came up with is rather visual and it can display the current Wi-Fi signal strength to yourself and everyone around you on a stylish Wi-Fi Detector Shirt. The glowing bars on the front of the shirt dynamically change as the surrounding Wi-Fi signal strength fluctuates.
All of the T-Shirts mentioned above need to be separated from electronic parts before washing, you couldn't expect some hi-tech solutions and materials for very affordable prices these T-shirts are offered at. As technology advances we will most probably see more and more interactive T-shirts around ourselves. Let's just hope we won't turn into walking-noisy-glowing-creatures.

Gustav Klimt (Baumgarten, em Viena, 14 de julho de 1862 - Viena, 6 de fevereiro de 1918) foi um pintor simbolista austríaco. Em 1876, estudou desenho ornamental na Escola de Artes Decorativas. Associado ao simbolismo, destacou-se dentro do movimento art nouveau austríaco e foi um dos fundadores do movimento da Secessão de Viena, que recusava a tradição académica nas artes, e do seu jornal, Ver Sacrum. Klimt foi também membro honorário das universidades de Universidade de Munique e Viena. Os seus maiores trabalhos incluem pinturas, murais, esboços e outros objetos de arte, muitos dos quais estão em exposição na Galeria da Secessão de Viena.

Biografia
Klimt foi o segundo dos sete filhos de Ernst Klimt (1832-1892), gravador de profissão, pertencente a uma família de agricultores da Boêmia, e de Anna (Flinster) Klimt (1836-1915), natural de Viena. Seus irmãos eram Klara (1860-1937), Ernst (1864-1892), Hermine (1865-1938), Georg (1867-1931), Anna (1869-1874) e Johanna (1873-1950).

Formação
Após concluir os estudos na "Escola Primária do VII bairro vienense", Klimt é admitido, aos 14 anos, na "Escola das Artes Decorativas", ligada ao "Museu Austríaco Imperial e Real de Arte e Indústria de Viena", onde foi aluno de Michael Rieser, Ludwig Minnigerode e Karl Hrachowina. Klimt adquiriu a prática de desenho ornamental, além de cursos sobre a teoria de projeções, perspectiva, teoria do estilo e outros temas que acompanhavam as aulas práticas. Em seguida, frequentou a aula especializada de pintura de Ferdinand Laufberger e, após a morte deste (1881), a de Julius Vicktor Berger, ligado a Hans Makart. Dois dos irmãos de Klimt, Ernst e Georg, realizaram trabalhos para ele e também se formaram na Escola de Artes Decorativas. A formação na pintura e no desenho a partir do "original histórico" e dos "métodos de cópias naturalistas" constituíam, até então, a base do curso. O trabalho de admissão de Klimt na Escola de Artes Decorativas foi um desenho segundo um molde de gesso de uma cabeça feminina da Antiguidade.

Carreira
Klimt foi o único aluno da Escola das Artes Decorativas no século XIX que conseguiu dar início a uma grande carreira artística, impulsionado pelos seus professores e pelo diretor do Museu, Rudolf von Eitelberger. Michael Rieser utilizou seus serviços, bem como o de Franz Matsch (1861-1942) e do seu irmão Ernst, para os vitrais da "Igreja Votiva" – o primeiro grande edifício da Ringstraße. Klimt, Ernst e Matsch fundaram a Künstlercompagnie (Companhia dos Artistas), aproveitando-se do boom da construção. Através da empresa Fellner und Hellmer, especializada na construção de teatros, a Companhia dos Artistas conseguiu trabalhos.

Mesmo depois de formados, Klimt, Ernst e Matsch, continuaram ligados à Escola. Uma carta dos três dirigida ao diretor do Museu (1884) reforça o desejo de serem contratados para grandes empreendimentos (demonstração de que Klimt tentou afirmar-se no mundo da arte historicista), principalmente na sua cidade natal:

O desejo de trabalhar na Ringstraße foi realizado (1886-1888). A Companhia trabalhou em quadros de tetos das escadarias do Teatro Imperial. Na época, Klimt criou os quadros A Carroça de Téspis, O Teatro do Globo em Londres, O Altar de Dionísio, O Teatro de Taormina e O Altar de Vênus. A decoração das imponentes escadarias do Museu da História da Arte, estava destinada a Hans Makart. Com a sua morte, a Companhia dos Artistas foi contratada para a conclusão: pintura dos quadros dos cantos e dos intercolúnios (espaços de pintura entre as colunas).

As duas obras – a segunda, inicialmente destinada a Hans Makart, deveria se manter fiel ao modelo histórico – confrontaram Klimt com o "otimismo e a crença no progresso da burguesia liberal". Klimt colaborou com a decoração do Teatro Imperial e, também sob encomenda, fez o seu retrato. Em 1887, a Companhia é contratada pela Câmara Municipal de Viena para pintar o interior do antigo Teatro Imperial. Ao final dos trabalhos, Klimt é premiado com a "Cruz de Mérito de Ouro" (1888), pelos seus trabalhos nas escadarias do Teatro Imperial. Foi um momento importante para Klimt. O quadro contribuiu para a obtenção do reconhecimento da sociedade vienense, sem, entretanto, seduzir Klimt a alinhar-se com a elite cultural que se intitulava pouco antes da virada do século como a verdadeira responsável pelo progresso material e cultural (otimismo cultural da burguesia liberal).

Os quadros das Faculdades
Em 1883, com a inauguração do novo edifício da Universidade de Viena, encomendou-se a Gustav Klimt uma série de painéis que descrevessem o triunfo da luz sobre as trevas. Os afrescos deveriam ser alusivos às quatro faculdades: Teologia, Filosofia, Medicina e Jurisprudência. O primeiro painel, representando a Filosofia, foi de certa forma um choque. Em vez da descrição da Escola de Atenas, Platão ou Aristóteles, Klimt, influenciado por Schopenhauer, representa o mundo como Vontade, em que os seres vagueiam.

Em 1894, famoso como decorador de grandes edifícios culturais na Ringstraße, Klimt , junto com Matsch, foi encarregado pelo ministro da Educação, von Hartel, de criar os quadros para representar as alegorias das faculdades no salão nobre da universidade reconstruída na Ringstraße. Os quadros confiados a Klimt foram: A Medicina, A Filosofia e A Jurisprudência. Klimt rejeitou o tema desejado para os quadros - "A Vitória da Luz sobre a Obscuridade". Rejeitou a "glorificação das ciências racionais", diferindo, nas três composições, da "pintura histórica" de que ele próprio havia participado anos antes. Coincidentemente, era o início da Secessão e os esboços, que iam sendo expostos na Associação dos Artistas, provocaram um conflito que durou alguns anos. Carl Schorske analisou o "drama dos quadros projetados por Klimt como uma crise do eu liberal do artista no seio da crise do liberalismo".

A arte de Klimt não pretendia representar o papel racional e otimista da ciência universitária. Membros da faculdade colocaram-se contra os seus esquissos. A princípio, o ministro von Hartel ignorou a reação - protestos dos professores e ataques da imprensa conservadora - porém, a apresentação do projeto de Klimt para o segundo quadro (A Medicina) na "10ª Exposição da Secessão" (1901) reavivou a discussão. A ciência médica não estava ali representada segundo a corporação dos médicos. Nesta fase, Klimt revela a relação existente entre a cultura patriarcal e o elemento feminino, expõe a sua concepção do mundo como "... um protesto, uma contradição do passado, mas também como um projecto do futuro, de uma nova cultura feminina." Juntamente com a corporação dos médicos, os meios estéticos dirigiam, aos quadros de Klimt, maldosas críticas contra a representação do nu, chegando a provocar o confisco de um número do Ver Sacrum, onde um projeto de A Medicina tinha sido publicado.

O Ministério Público não viu razão para perseguir judicialmente a representação do nu, mas a reação pública com a exposição de A Medicina incomodou o "conselho imperial", que pretendia utilizar a arte como estratégia política. O ministro da educação, von Hartel, "protetor da Secessão", viu-se obrigado a justificar a encomenda do Estado e "... parece ter-se verdadeiramente convencido dessa responsabilidade." A nomeação de Klimt para o cargo de professor na Academia das Artes Decorativas é recusada pela primeira vez. Carl Emil Schorske reputa a recusa à aparência agressiva do terceiro quadro, A Jurisprudência, sobretudo a partir das alterações que Klimt efetuou entre os esquissos e a versão definitiva.

Klimt não pode expor A Jurisprudência na Exposição Universal de Saint-Louis (1904) e entendia que a forma de exposição e expressão artísticas não deveriam sofrer imposições. De fato, decide rescindir o contrato de "Os Quadros das Faculdades" (1905). Devolve os honorários ao Estado, readquire os esquissos, sai do "grupo Klimt" da Secessão e vai a Berlim para participar na exposição da "Aliança dos Artistas Alemães". Aí, recebe o "Prémio Villa Romana". Os quadros A Medicina, A Filosofia e A Jurisprudência foram retomados à força pelo Estado e, por fim, foram queimados na Baixa Áustria em maio de 1945 no Castelo de Immendorf, que foi incendiado pelas tropas SS em retirada.

Fase Histórico-Realista
A obra de Klimt passa por fases diferentes: a primeira é marcada por um caráter histórico-realista, sendo também associada à dualidade de Viena (realidade e ilusão). Desta época, datam os desenhos para as alegorias "A Escultura" e "A Tragédia" (1896 e 1897).

O friso Stoclet e o auge do período dourado

A sua última grande pintura mural é o Friso Stoclet (1905 a 1909). Adolphe Stoclet, um magnata belga a viver em Viena com a mulher, mandou construir um palácio, deixando-o a cargo do Wiener Werkstatte ("Ateliê Vienense"), no qual se destacavam o arquiteto Josef Hoffmann e Klimt. É aqui que o pintor experimenta uma mudança no estilo; surgem os motivos geométricos repetidos, deixando aparecer apenas algumas partes essenciais realistas que permitem o seu entendimento. Aqui, é usada uma cobertura ao estilo bizantino bastante cerrada, como mosaicos, onde o realismo e a abstração se confrontam.

Em "O beijo" (1907/08), ou "Der Kuss" no original em alemão, baseado em si mesmo e na sua amante Emilie, a mulher fatal aparece submissa, comunica uma sexualidade latente. "O Beijo" constitui o auge do período dourado e torna-se o emblema da Secessão.

Em "Dánae" (1907/08), a sua provocação afirma-se de modo mais óbvio. Junto à figura da mulher ruiva adormecida, surge aquilo que muitos interpretam como uma torrente de moedas de ouro e espermatozoides. A lenda de Dânae, amada por Zeus na forma de uma chuva dourada, foi transformada em tema de pintura por vários artistas da história da arte. O tema mitológico tem, em Klimt, a representação da procriação - origem do mito Perseu - captada como um instante eterno, sagrado e superior.

Em Danae, Klimt projetou uma feminilidade pensada de forma autônoma, descrita mergulhada e absorta em si, entregue às suas energias instintivas. Nessa medida, Danae é um "ícone do narcisismo feminino", de tal forma preocupada com ela própria que exclui qualquer outro objeto de amor para além do seu próprio corpo. Isto é, o princípio masculino não se encontra patente (como o é em Leda - simbolicamente codificado sob a forma do pescoço e da cabeça do cisne negro). Em Danae, ele reduz-se ao símbolo abstrato de "um retângulo negro no rio de ouro" - um ornamento entre os ornamentos.

O fim do período dourado
Na primeira década do século XX o expressionismo faz com que o estilo dourado de Klimt deixe de ser usado. Em 1909 Klimt parte para Paris onde toma contacto com as obras de Toulouse-Lautrec e com o fauvismo. A partir de então, Klimt passa a usar cenários menos elaborados, deixando de lado os motivos geométricos e a sumptuosidade do ouro. Nesta fase, pinta O Chapéu de Plumas Negras (1910); A Vida e a Morte (1916); e A Virgem (1913). Surgem, também, pinturas de jardins, paisagens campestres e do Castelo Kammer, que refletem as influências do cubismo que surgia então. Há a inclusão de elementos naturais (a água, a vegetação), bem como de construções.

Arte erótica

As últimas obras de Klimt voltam-se para um lado mais erótico, claramente assumido. No seu ateliê, passeiam sempre algumas modelos nuas que ele observa e vai desenhando. Daí, resultam mais de 3 000 desenhos. Disso são exemplos os desenhos das suas modelos em poses e atitudes mais íntimas: "Mulher sentada com as coxas abertas", "Adão e Eva", "A Noiva"" e "Masturbação feminina ".
Na época, acusaram Klimt em Ornamentação e Crime do seu exagero erótico. Para Klimt, a ornamentação enriquece o real.

 Os últimos anos
Com a morte da sua mãe em 1915, também a sua paleta se torna mais sombria, e as paisagens tendem para a monocromia. Em 1916, participa na exposição da Associação de Artistas Austríacos (Bund Österreichischer Kunstler) na Secessão de Berlim com Egon Shiele, Kokoschka e Anton Faistauer. Klimt morreu a 6 de fevereiro de 1918 de apoplexia, uns meses antes do colapso do Império Austro-Húngaro, e foi enterrado no Cemitério de Hietzing (Viena). Deixou uma série de obras inacabadas, entre elas "Adão e Eva", "O retrato de Johanna Staude" e "A noiva".

Leilões
O Retrato de Gertrud Loew, um óleo pintado em 1902 por Klimt foi vendido por 34,8 milhões de euros em 24 de junho de 2015 em Londres, num leilão da Sotheby's. Gertrud Loew era a filha de 19 anos de Anton Loew, médico que dirigia um sanatório privado em Viena cujos clientes incluíram o próprio Klimt, além do compositor Gustav Mahler e do filósofo Ludwig Wittgenstein. A pintura tinha sido encomendada no ano anterior ao breve primeiro casamento de Gertrud. Em 1939, com a invasão da Áustria pelos nazistas e a perseguição aos judeus, Gertrud parte para os Estados Unidos, confiando a pintura de Klimt e outras obras de arte a um amigo. A colecção acabou por ser vendida. Depois da II Guerra Mundial, um filho de Klimt, Gustav Ucicky comprou Retrato de Gertrud Loew. Quando morreu, em 1961, a pintura foi deixada à sua viúva, Ursula, que criou a Fundação Klimt em Viena. A pintura chegou ao mercado em 2014 a família de Klimt e os herdeiros de Gertrud Loew resolverem uma disputa sobre os direitos de propriedade do quadro. Os dois campos concordaram em dividir o valor obtido no leilão.

Bauerngärten (Paisagem campestre), uma tela de 1907, foi vendida na Sotheby's de Londres por 56 milhões de euros (48 milhões de libras) em 1 de março de 2017.

Q: Why is this BindingAdapter not working in Kotlin? I have a ViewModel with:
val imageUrl = ObservableField<String>()

My layout XML has:
<ImageView
    ...
    app:url="@{viewModel.imageUrl}"
    .../>

I have a BindingAdapters file with a top level function:
@BindingAdapter("url")
fun loadImage(view: ImageView, url: String?) {
    ...
}

I'm getting the following error:
data binding error msg:Cannot find the setter for attribute 'app:url' with parameter type android.databinding.ObservableField<java.lang.String> on android.widget.ImageView.

Any idea why this would be? This is pretty much identical to how I set up binding adapters in Java, minus the static function.

A: This issue was caused by a lack of kapt in the app's build.gradle. Adding the below to build.gradle and replacing all "annotationProcessor" dependencies with "kapt" fixes the issue.
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

A: We do not work with images that much but here is our code
Model
class Habit(val title:String,val description:String,val image:Bitmap) {

and the Adapter
class HabitsAdapter(val habits:List<Habit>): RecyclerView.Adapter<HabitsAdapter.HabitViewHolder>() {

class HabitViewHolder(val card:View):RecyclerView.ViewHolder(card)

override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: HabitViewHolder, index: Int) {

    if(holder != null){
        val habit = habits[index]
        holder.card.tvTitle.text = habit.title
        holder.card.tvDescription.text = habit.description
        holder.card.ivINsingle_card.setImageBitmap(habit.image)
    }
}
    override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): HabitViewHolder {
        val view = LayoutInflater.from(parent.context).inflate(R.layout.single_card, parent,false)
        return HabitViewHolder(view)
    }

    override fun getItemCount(): Int {
        return habits.size
    }
}

A: I've had a different problem. This may not be the solution for your problem, but maybe others will benefit from it. What I did in plus was to add a placeholder and an error drawable as well to my load image function like this:
@JvmStatic
@BindingAdapter("imageUrl", "error", "placeholder")
fun ImageView.setImageFromUrl(imageUrl: String, error: Drawable?, placeholder: Drawable?) {
    Picasso.get()
            .load(imageUrl)
            .placeholder(placeholder
                    ?: ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.ic_general_placeholder)!!)
            .error(error
                    ?: ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.ic_general_error)!!)
            .into(this)
}

I tought that putting the ? to the end of the Drawables was enough and in the layout I could just provide the image URL with app:imageUrl, if I didn't want to provide any specific error and placeholder images. But I was wrong, I kept getting the same error as you, Cannot find setter... After a few hours of clearing the cache, deleting every build folder, restarting android studio a few times, I found the solution in a google provided guide. You need to specify inside the @BindingAdapter if all of the attributes are required or not. So I modified my code like this and it worked:
@JvmStatic
@BindingAdapter(value = ["imageUrl", "error", "placeholder"], requireAll = false)
fun ImageView.setImageFromUrl(imageUrl: String, error: Drawable?, placeholder: Drawable?) {
    Picasso.get()
            .load(imageUrl)
            .placeholder(placeholder
                    ?: ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.ic_general_placeholder)!!)
            .error(error
                    ?: ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.ic_general_error)!!)
            .into(this)
}

I'd been hearing about this, the SportsCenter guys clearly getting psyched up for the Hartford show... here's a clip of the intro.
During rehearsals in Asbury Park earlier this week, Springsteen took some time to speak with USA Today's Elysa Gardner; the interview runs today as Bruce and the band gear up for tonight's kick-off in Hartford. "On any given night, what allows me to get to that higher ground is the audience," he tells the paper. "I look for an audience that's as serious about the experience as we are, which, after all these years, continues to be pretty serious."
Gardner also reveals what Bruce has been up to during the break: "He's been in the studio with E Street, along with Brendan O'Brien, who manned the boards for both Rising and Magic. The singer also is 'recording on my own, for an acoustic record. I work on a lot of projects at once.'"
Check out the USA Today feature here.
"Oh, it was a great honor," Pete Seeger says of Springsteen's Seeger-centric 2006 project, "He's an extraordinary person, as well as an extraordinary singer." Seeger also discusses Dylan, the presidential election, and the new documentary, Pete Seeger: The Power of Song (in which Springsteen appears). "Well, it's too much a eulogy if you ask me," Seeger tells RS's Andy Greene. "It didn't tell all the stupid things I've done. I've done hundreds of stupid things." Read the full interview at Rollingstone.com.

Springsteen co-manager Barbara Carr was recently honored in Cleveland at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame event, "Riot Girls and Rebels: A Celebration of Professional Women who Rock."
That's her far left, with fellow honorees Joan Jett (who headlined the night with the Blackhearts) and Eliza Wing (president and CEO of Cleveland.com), with Rock Hall president/CEO Terry Stewart. The event raised money for the museum's educational programs.
Is there anybody alive out there? Hell yeah! After a two-month break for the holidays, Bruce and the E Street Band are back in the saddle this week, with the first Magic concert of 2008 just three days away. Thursday night in Hartford, with stops in Quebec and Ontario following shortly thereafter, kicks off a two-month trek around North America. See our Tour/Ticket Info page for the itinerary as it currently stands.
Today, Bruce and the E Streeters reconvened to warm up for the tour with a closed rehearsal. After Charlie Giordano filled in on organ for the last European leg, many fans have been wondering when Danny Federici might able to return to the stage. We're wondering, too, with high hopes and continued best wishes for Danny, but there's yet to be any official word. While we won't speculate about Danny's health, Charlie's presence at today's tour rehearsal at least seems to indicate that Bruce still plans to make use of the Sessions Band player's talents. Otherwise, time will tell.
The G.A./pit entry policy should be the same as this past fall: general admission ticketholders can arrive before 5:00 to get a numbered wristband to be part of the pit lottery; a random number will be drawn shortly thereafter to determine where the line starts; the line moves in around 5:30, filling up the pit first, and then the main floor. Watch this page for any further, venue-specific details prior to each show, as well as setlists and reports afterwards, as usual.
IRAQ VETERAN FINDS INSPIRATION IN "DEVILS"
A new documentary called Body of War focuses on Tomas Young, a veteran of the war in Iraq who was shot and paralyzed his first week serving there. Young himself selected the music for the film's soundtrack, Body of War: Songs That Inspired an Iraq War Veteran, and as Billboard.com reports, Springsteen's "Devils & Dust" will lead off disc two of this two-CD set. Other artists include Against Me!, Public Enemy, Tom Waits, and John Lennon, along with some of Bruce's Vote for Change tour mates: Bright Eyes, Neil Young, Pearl Jam, and Eddie Vedder, who contributed a new original.
It's a very personal collection of music, as Young previously told Billboard.com: "The songs collected here are the sounds that have helped to inspire me and keep me going as I struggle to find the strength to deal with my new physical limitations while trying to find the energy to fight when many parts of my body and brain are telling me to stop....Each song you hear you're hearing because I found a meaning in it that helped focus a number of emotions and turn them into something that I hope will ultimately be positive."
The CD set will be released on March 18 from Sire, and an LP version on April 15, with all proceeds to benefit Iraq Veterans Against the War.
We're sorry to hear of the recent passing of Suzy Shaw -- longtime Springsteen fan and keyboard player on the 1982 Bruce Springstone parody record. Its picture sleeve alone is a classic, picturing Fred as Bruce and Dino as Clarence, and the songs themselves have had a long life. In fact, the forthcoming book, Baseball's Greatest Hit: The Story of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," celebrating the song's 100th anniversary, will list the Springstone B-side among the top 25 versions of the song ever recorded.
In 1994, Suzy wrote "The Bruce Springstone Story" for Backstreets #48, her own page right out of history. Of meeting Clarence Clemons, she wrote: "I was almost too shy to say anything, but when I finally did, I told him I'd played the organ on the record. He said, 'You bad girl!' with a delightful twinkle in his eye."
"Bedrock Rap / (Meet) The Flintsones"
A classic Greetings-era E Street Band performance has come to Wolfgang's Vault: the original King Biscuit Flower Hour recording from January 31, 1973. Springsteen and the E Streeters were opening for Biff Rose at NYC's Max's Kansas City, and this is an hour's worth of music -- six songs from the early show ("Mary Queen of Arkansas," "Bishop Danced," "Wild Billy's Circus Story," "Spirit in the Night," "Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?," and "Thundercrack"), and two from the late show ("Saga of the Architect Angel," "Song to the Orphans").
"Bishop Danced" is the only song here that was officially broadcast, and it also turned up on Tracks; though the rest of the material has circulated among collectors, this is a clear upgrade. One of our, um, "audio experts" reports: "I've compared the Wolfgang's Vault version, and it is an improvement over all of the boots I've heard of this show. Previously available recordings sound like really good soundboards; the WV version sounds like a commercial CD with much more high end, without any hiss at all, the vocals crisper and more forward. Unlike a lot of their King Biscuit shows there is no sound overloading and boominess." Listen here.
Also new to WV today, in the latest Crawdaddy!, is Joe Sullivan's "Not Fade Away," tracing the connection from Buddy Holly to Bruce to the Arcade Fire; and from the archives, a 1973 review of Jon Landau's It's Too Late to Stop Now: A Rock and Roll Journal.
Greg Mitchell and Peter Knobler were editors of Crawdaddy! in the '70s, which ran the first major article on Springsteen, 1973's "Who is Bruce Springsteen and Why Are We Saying All These Wonderful Things About Him?" Mitchell is now the editor of Editor & Publisher, and his new book features a preface from that aforementioned Wonderful guy. In his brief preface titled "Tell the Truth from Lies," Springsteen notes, "Greg Mitchell's So Wrong for So Long goes a long way toward correcting some of the misconceptions that the media haven't been ready to deal with...." So Wrong for So Long: How the Press, the Pundits -- and the President -- Failed on Iraq is due March 4.
For the 2008 E Street Band tour (which starts next week!), Springsteen has begun donating pairs of tickets for charity auction; the sale of these tickets will help fight hunger by benefitting causes like World Hunger Year and Moisson Montreal. Ticket packages are on the block now for Nassau Coliseum, Montreal's Bell Centre, and Rochester's Blue Cross Arena. Each package includes VIP tickets (winner's choice of GA Pit or first tier loge) plus passes to the E Street Lounge. For details and to bid, head to charityfolks.com.
It's on DVD now, but if you're in the Pittsburgh area, you have a chance to see A Good Life: The Joe Grushecky Story on the big screen this Thursday. The Pittsburgh premiere will be at the Southside Works Cinema, February 21 at 8 p.m., including a Q&A session with the filmmakers after the screening. For more information, visit kdka.com and grushecky.com.
Thanks to a LaBamba brainstorm, Southside Johnny and the Jukes' next show -- a benefit Saturday night in Morristown, NJ -- will include a 30-piece string section from nearby Randolph High. "I said okay, but he's in charge of it," Southside told Jay Lustig in the Star-Ledger, "If it doesn't work, it's all his fault."
Elsewhere down the shore on Saturday night, John Eddie hosts the Stone Pony Anniversary show with Shore legend Sonny Kenn opening and a special appearance by Glen Burtnik, who will join John on stage.

EHN: You got him Bruce Springsteen tickets... I call that love.
RC: Congresswoman, I did not get him Bruce Springsteen tickets.
EHN: Well... let us correct the record!
And in the Daily News, Clemens' attorney Rusty Hardin elaborates: "Roger's point was, maybe he should have given him the Bruce Springsteen tickets. Maybe this all would have been gone. But Roger couldn't get him any."
Springsteen lost in the only televised category of his four nominations at last night's Grammy Awards, with the Foo Fighters taking home the statue for Best Rock Album. But in the non-televised ceremony beforehand, Bruce won the other three: Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song for "Radio Nowhere," and Best Rock Instrumental performance for "Once Upon a Time in the West." Springsteen did not attend either ceremony.
So I picked up the phone today, and who was on the other end but Mighty Max Weinberg! He's playing a benefit show Sunday night and wanted to encourage fans to come out and see him. Sounds like a great night of jazz, and for a great cause, too. "As you know, arts and music in general are really taking a hit in schools," Max says, and the second annual "For the Love of Music" Gala is doing something to help the cause, benefiting music programs and facilities at Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ.
Columbia is where Max went to high school, playing drums there; he'll be emceeing the benefit on Sunday night, February 10, at the Women's Club in Maplewood, and playing with the Columbia High School Jazz Ensemble. Also on the bill are renowned jazz artists from the Maplewood/South Orange community including Bill Charlap, Darmon Meader, Sarah Partridge, T.S. Monk, John Lee, Holli Ross, the New Jazz Trio, and many others.
"For the Love of Music" is hosted by the Columbia High School Music Parents' Association (CHSMPA, Inc.); the evening includes a silent auction before the concert and a champagne and dessert reception afterwards. For more information and ticket details, visit www.chsmpa.org.
Max has been busy to say the least, jumping from the Magic tour right back into leading the Max Weinberg 7 on Late Night with Conan O'Brien -- not exactly a cakewalk, with the writers strike going on. "Extremely challenging," he calls it, "But I'm happy to report we've done incredibly well. Conan is amazing -- I mean, everbody knew that anyway -- and it's really like battlestations on a ship, everybody's been pitching in." Psyched to get back to the E Street Band tour in just three weeks? "Oh, of course! It's been a phenomenal tour -- and we've just scratched the surface."
After a limited theatrical release last year, and no DVD imminent, Pete Seeger: The Power of Song comes to public television later this month. Featuring Bruce Springsteen and other contemporary artists on Seeger's legacy, this authorized biography of the folk legend was directed by Jim Brown and is airing as part of the PBS series American Masters.
The official broadcast premiere is Wednesday, February 27, at 9 p.m.; visit PBS.org for more information and to check your local listings.

Here's our first official confirmation that our Summer of Bruce won't be ending at Giants Stadium in July. Bruce and the band will be returning to Milwaukee in August, after their Bradley Center stop in March, for a much bigger show.
On August 28-31, Harley-Davidson celebrates its 105th anniversary at the Summerfest Grounds in Milwaukee, and they've just announced that Springsteen and the E Streeters will play as part of the festivities on Saturday, August 30.
Also performing that weekend are ZZ Top, the Black Crowes, Buddy Guy, Foghat, and more. The Springsteen show will be an additional concert held outside the Summerfest Grounds at the Roadhouse at the Lakefront, requiring a separate $40 ticket in addition to the $60 105th Anniversary ticket (available now). According to The Business Journal, 60,000 general admission tickets will be sold for the Springsteen show. Only 105th Anniversary Ticket Holders can purchase Springsteen tickets, which go on sale April 5 at 8 a.m. Central.
Read the press release here; see Harley-Davidson.com for additional information.
Keep your eye on the schedule at emergingpictures.com, as they're continuing to add theatres for the HD Live in Barcelona screenings. This week, the E Street Band concert film plays on the big screen in Bryn Mawr, PA (Wednesday, 1/23) and Pittsfield, MA (Friday, 1/25).
Don't forget, three Magic shows go on sale Saturday: Sacramento, Dallas, and Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY. For details and links, see our Tour/Ticket Info page.
And on Sunday night, the Springsteen episode of Classic 60 Minutes premieres on VH1 Classic, featuring Bruce interviews with both Ed Bradley (1996) and Scott Pelley (2007).
Bassist John Luraschi, one of the Creators of the Sound of Asbury Park, was recently diagnosed with inoperable cancer. On January 27, a great number of old friends from the Shore scene will come together for a tribute show at the Headliner, including Sonny Kenn, Cold Blast and Steel, Cahoots, Boccigalupe & the Bad Boys, the George Theiss Band, and Steel Mill. Proceeds go to John.
A few days later, catch Lisa Lowell in the East Village, where she'll be reunited with fellow Sessions Band players Larry Eagle on drums and Jeremy Chatzky on bass in her band Beautiful Behavior. That's January 30 at Banjo Jim's.

More on the "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" EP, released yesterday via the iTunes Store here in the States. In the U.S., iTunes has exclusivity for the first two weeks, meaning that starting on January 28 or 29, you can start looking for the video on channels like VH1 or CMT, and likely be able to download the tracks from other vendors online.
In Europe or elsewhere, there's no such deal in place that we know of. The downside is that with no coordinated iTunes release internationally, the audio/video isn't yet available in many other countries (as quite a few emails from fans around the world have told us); the upside is that this material should be soon available outside of the U.S. from multiple online music services. More details as we have them.
Announced in early December, the "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" digital EP has arrived. It's currently exclusive to the iTunes store: get the new "Winter Mix" (a subtly tweaked mix from Brendan O'Brien), the Mark Pellington-directed video for the song (that's a still above), and a live version of "Girls," for $2.97.
Embodying strength and experience, never afraid to show emotion, and more than likable enough, Clarence Clemons turns 66 today, born January 11, 1942.
Last month, it was announced that a "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" bundle (a video and two audio tracks) would be coming soon to iTunes: "It will feature the new video for the song, directed by Mark Pellington; a new 'Winter Mix' of the song; and a recent audio concert performance." Since then a lot of fans have been wondering where it is... but we hear the wait is almost over. Look for the "Girls" bundle to be available as an iTunes Store exclusive around the middle of this month.
A new series on VH1 Classic called Classic 60 Minutes will be focusing on Springsteen next weekend. The series, hosted by Lara Logan, taps into the archives for new half-hour profiles of musicians that have appeared on the CBS News program. The Bruce episode, which premieres Sunday, January 20 at 8 p.m., will collect interview footage -- largely from his recent talk with Scott Pelley, but also from his 60 Minutes appearance in the '90s with Ed Bradley -- plus performance footage.
There was an unusual delay in finalizing concert details, but North Texas fans, fear not: as the Star-Telegram reports today, the April 13 E Street Band concert is indeed set for the American Airlines Center in Dallas, with a confirmed onsale date of January 19 at 10 a.m. It's on Ticketmaster.com now.
Tomorrow, January 8, will mark what would have been Elvis Presley's 73rd birthday. Just in time to celebrate is a newly released CD that includes Elvis-themed performances from both Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa. Elvis: Viva Las Vegas - Original Soundtrack contains tracks by Elvis and other artists that were featured in September's ABC television special, which explored in depth the triumphs and tragedies of Presley's Vegas years. Bruce's 1990 version of "Viva Las Vegas" opens the album, and he's also featured on Patti's track, which closes the album. It's an extended version of "Looking for Elvis," exclusive to this collection, recorded at Asbury Park's Convention Hall last August, with Bruce as part of the Whack Brothers Rhythm Section, playing one mean harmonica. The video performance first seen on the TV special is available online at the iTunes Store.
E Street Radio will also be celebrating Elvis' birthday on Tuesday with a special "Bruce/Elvis Edition" of "You Be the Boss," a daily half-hour segment (airing at 10 a.m. ET) where Springsteen fans get to play some of their favorite tracks and share why these songs are special to them. Shawn Poole, who spearheaded Backstreets' massive 2004 feature on Elvis and Bruce (see Backstreets #80) will be tomorrow's guest host. Shawn wants to encourage other Springsteen fans to "Be the Boss" for a day, too. If you're interested, just call 1-877-33 SIRIUS, press "1" and then "10" when prompted.
Happy 2008! It's now been 35 years since Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ, Bruce Springsteen's first album released on January 5, 1973, and 2008 will also mark 35 years since The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle. More hard-to-believe anniversaries this year: the Tunnel of Love Express Tour's 20th, Tracks' tenth... and then, of course, the big one, the 30th anniversary of Darkness on the Edge of Town. After the way we celebrated Born to Run's 30th in style with a multimedia box set, hopes are high for a similar Darkness release likely coming this year, still under wraps but currently in the works. We'll keep you posted.
More to look forward to this year: the long-awaited release of Southside Johnny's album of Tom Waits covers, Grapefruit Moon, which he recently told the Asbury Park Press will be out "by hook or by crook" in 2008. And, of course, Springsteen and the E Street Band return to the concert stage in less than two months, with their first show of 2008 on February 28 in Hartford, CT. As the schedule currently stands, Bruce and the band will be playing 54 shows -- 31 in North America and 23 in Europe -- between the end of February and the end of July. Could the tour really end there? Surely more U.S. stadiums in August? Stay tuned, it's gonna be another Boss year, and as always -- well, at least for the last decade, with 2008 marking the tenth anniversary of Backstreets.com, too -- we'll be following all the news right here.

BDVA submitted its position paper concerning the upcoming Framework Programme 9 (FP9).
A strong data economy is emerging in Europe with large companies and SMEs clearly seeing the fundamental potential of Big Data Value and AI for causing disruptive change in markets and business models. Digital platforms dominate value creation across all sectors and they are at the heart of the digital economy. Business dynamics are changing and usage of data will define global competitiveness. To secure its (industrial) prosperity, Europe needs industrial leadership in Data Platforms and AI Platforms, and in the fields of technology that are key for the development and operations of Data / AI platforms.
The BDVA Position paper identifies the "Future Challenges of the European Data Economy and Society" and recommends public interventions n the form of horizontal cross-sectorial actions in data value and AI technologies to ensure European leadership in the Digital Transformation of society.
The paper also emphasises the need for partnership and highlights some measures to strengthen the existing cPPP, successful in H2020 as a focal point to bring together Industry from across Europe to tackle a common challenge in a systematic and structured programme of R&D&I.

Q: Play Pause Video inside a div on a slider I have a site which imitates a presentation where an image and a video are both moved to the next when Next button is clicked. Inversely for the Back button.
The problem is that I am struggling to play video when the Next Button is clicked. How can I play a video on the next page (and pause the video on the current page) when next button is clicked and similarly do it for the previous page when the Back button is clicked?
Here is what I did.
Code

        <video  class="example1" width="220" height="180" controls  false>
          <source src="./files/videos/myvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
        </video>

        Presented by:
        A Presenter
        Slide 3 of 6

JS
$(document).ready(function(e) {

    var $curr = $( "#start" );
    $curr.css( "height" , "" );

    $( ".back" ).click(function() {
      $curr = $curr.prev();
      var styles = {
          display: "block"
        };

        var default_styles = {
          display: "none"
        };
      $( "div.example" ).css( default_styles );
      $curr.css( styles );
    });

    $( ".forward" ).click(function() {

      $curr = $curr.next();
    var styles = {
          display: "block"
        };

        var default_styles = {
          display: "none"
        };
      $( "div.example" ).css( default_styles );
      $curr.css( styles );
    });

    var $curr1 = $( "#start1" );
    $curr1.css(  "height" , "" );

    $( ".back" ).click(function() {
      $curr1 = $curr1.prev();
      var styles = {
          display: "block"
        };

        var default_styles = {
          display: "none"
        };
      $( "div.example1" ).css( default_styles );
      $curr1.css( styles );
    });

    $( ".forward" ).click(function() {

      $curr1 = $curr1.next();
    var styles = {
          display: "block"
        };

        var default_styles = {
          display: "none"
        };
      $( "div.example1" ).css( default_styles );
      $curr1.css( styles );

      //$curr1.children('video').play();
      //$curr1.children('video').attr({'autoplay':'true'});

    });

});

What I tried in jQuery and didn't work
  $curr1.children('video').play();
  $curr1.children('video').attr({'autoplay':'true'});
  $("#example2 video.example1").play();

A: You are trying to call play() on a jQuery object. You need to call it on the native video DOM element instead. You can use the jQuery .get() function for that:
$curr1.children('video').get(0).play();

or
$curr1.children('video')[0].play();

Benjamin Dashley writes Distant First for the Daily News. His views do not necessarily reflect those of the paper or The Daily.
On Oct. 17, 2011, Found Magazine posted a note found in Muncie.
The note is angry. The writer's bike had been stolen and he took it back, leaving this note behind. Ryan C., who took the bike, submitted the letter and it was posted. Both the letter and the story behind it are hilarious.
But I bet the bike's owner thought differently.
Ever realize a note went to the wrong person? Maybe you put it in the wrong locker or the intended reader just never received it. Or maybe the reader thought the note was funny and showed everyone.
Found Magazine is the wrong locker; it's the person who laughs at your note. It's one place online where all the secrets written in that note are on display.
The website was founded by Davy Rothbart and Jason Bitner in Ann Arbor, Mich.
The idea, according to the website, came from a note Rothbart found on his windshield in 2000.
"Mario, I f--king hate you you said you had to work then whys your car HERE at HER Place?? You're a f--king LIAR. I hate you I f--king hate you.
Obviously, Rothbart isn't Mario. I'm sure he's glad for that.
After he found the note, he showed his friends. Each one had their own example of a note like Amber's.
In September, Rothbart released a book called "My Heart is an Idiot." In celebration of the book, Found's 10th anniversary, a new issue of the printed edition and a new album from Rothbart's brother Peter, the Rothbart brothers have set out on a tour.
The stops are in bars, community theaters, libraries and colleges with admission ranging from $5 to $35. But Wednesday's stop at Pruis Hall is free. Whether this was a decision by Ball State or the Rothbart brothers, I have no idea. But I am grateful.
I've spent quite a few hours on Found Magazine's website. I'm fascinated by what people will write when they don't know anyone will see it.
It's not a site I check religiously, but I'll read it when I can sort through my RSS feeds. Occasionally, a post comes across my Tumblr feed and I end up spending the little free time I have reading notes from strangers.
It's more than just seeing what people wrote. I usually spend up to a few minutes on a post, not because I'm a slow reader, but because I try to get into the mind of the person who wrote it or the intended receiver.
I know I wrote a plethora of terrible love letters in middle school. I was almost too awkward to function in society. I professed my love in print rather than in conversation.
I would be mortified if anyone saw those. I was careful to never let anyone but my oft-changing love interest see the notes, so I doubt the Rothbart brothers have ever posted anything to embarrass me.
But that's not their goal, at least as far as I can tell. I'm certain their goal is just to make people think.
There's never just one side of a story and if journalism classes have taught me anything, there's often more than two.
Just ask Ryan C., if he's still around. The comments on his post called him a thief, taking the side of the original owner of the bike.
Sometimes, the best stories aren't written by J.K. Rowling or J.D. Salinger. Sometimes, they're written by Amber in an angry note to Mario.

In Studio with artist David Wilson Sookinakin
Colourful modern interpretations of pictographs
– Words by David Wylie Photographs by Lia Crowe
David Wilson Sookinakin's search for meaningful art began in elementary school.
As member of the Syilx Okanagan Nation, he wanted to find works that represented his own cultural identity.
"I remember wondering where our art was," said David. "I just wanted to find art that I could identify with."
He searched libraries for Indigenous artwork, and found only totem poles and Inuit art. He eventually explored the Vernon Museum's archives and found roots of his Interior Salish culture in centuries-old pictographs documented in anthropology books.
"That was the art of my ancestors," he said.
David returned to the archives to view the pictures until he was about 18. Wanting to bring the images out of the archives and into the art world, he went to Langara College in the 1990s to study business, while learning from Coast Salish and Haida artists in his free time.
A decade after leaving for the Lower Mainland, he returned to Vernon.
"I didn't feel comfortable continuing the West Coast totem pole art because I'm not from there," he said. "So I went back to the museum and found the pictographs that were still in the archives. I photocopied them and I used the skills that I learned from the West Coast art and transferred them to the pictographs."
Indigenous elders didn't want pictographs copied exactly, preferring artists be inspired by them.
David's interpretation is a colourful, clean, crisp and modern style. His work draws on the symbols and stories of Okanagan First Nations heritage and culture. He was inspired locally by Barry Brewer, creator of the Okanagan Indian Band's porcupine logo.
David uses vibrant acrylic colours with a surreal graphic style, making use of geometric and organic shapes.
"If we just copy them, they're not evolving; they're exactly what they were 200 years ago. We need to take it farther, evolving the art from an anthropology book item to a piece of art," he said. "I'm trying to bring the style out."
David has created nearly 50 four-legged-animal pictographs in his unique style, which has evolved over the years from simple pictographs to ones that include complex background scenes, which tell their own stories and motifs.
"It's taken me quite a while to start to understand what I want to do," he said.
His works cover various surfaces and mediums, including canoes, drums, canvas and wood, as his art explores traditional ways of Interior Salish People, often captured within traditional circle forms.
"It's part of the native spirituality, everything is a circle—a belief that in a circle there's no beginning and no end," he said.
David's paintings often portray familiar Okanagan landscapes and wildlife. He's incorporated Okanagan Lake's mythical sea monster, Ogopogo, based on his family's own experiences. His mother and sister have had sightings of the creature while sitting at their family cabin along the west side of Okanagan Lake, he says. They described the creature as brown with green dots, and with a horse-like head—and that's how David has portrayed it.
His painting Spotted Lake is one that resonates deeply with the Okanagan People. Located near Osoyoos, the lake is said to be medicinal. There are about 365 circles in the lake, and each one represents a day of the year.
"A long time ago, people used to go there for healing. They would camp by the lake. During the night they'd receive a dream and be instructed or directed to a certain hole. The person would take some mud and it would be like a salve. They'd apply it as part of the healing," he said.
At one time, the lake was privately owned. The Okanagan People lobbied the government, which purchased the lake and gave it back to the People.
David tries to give back what he himself missed. He works regularly in Okanagan schools, including Beairsto Elementary in Vernon (which he attended years ago), to teach and inspire children. David has painted murals in nearly every school in Vernon, and he is designing logos for BX Elementary School sports teams. There is also a painted 26-foot cottonwood canoe on display at Clarence Fulton Secondary School—a project completed by David and two of his relatives.
"Any time that I go back into schools, I remember that I was at one time looking for art that I could find identities through," he said. "When I go back to the schools, I find that I was once the child looking for art but now I'm the teacher. For me, it's like coming full circle.
"I remember as a youth how much I wanted to identify through art. It's an art form that they can call their own. Now they have it. Hopefully they will make it their own."
David's work is published and exhibited in various galleries and public spaces throughout the Okanagan Valley and the Lower Mainland. It's also been displayed at Kelowna International Airport.
David is about to be featured for the first time on the international stage. His works have been chosen to be featured in Transform LA, a group exhibit to be held in November—which is Native American Heritage Month—at the Official Residence of Canada in Los Angeles. It's a showcase for Indigenous artists local to Canada and southern California for an audience of business leaders, artists and agents of change.

He says "I am sitting beside the Corporal to his right as you look. Like yourself Dave I recognise most of the faces but can't put any names to them except Bob Gamble from Belfast, he's third from right on back row. It was B Flt. Can't remember the hut number. Many thanks for the photo Dave."


– Simi says when a man cheats, he is scum and when a woman cheats she is scum.
– She also says it's a man's world, because we let it be so.
Popular Nigerian singer Simi since the debut of her sophomore album, 'Simisola' has become quite the philosopher addressing a whole lot of issues lately. From talking about how Nigerian men are not romantic to cheating in relationships and living in a man's world.
In a recent interview with Hip Tv, the singer, Simi addressed cheating issues in a relationship where she said,"Nobody is allowed to cheat in a relationship, but they do it anyway. If a man cheats he's scum, if a woman cheats, she's scum. Obviously, people are harder on women, if it happens to a woman.
We suppose we can expect more philosophy from Simi soon.
