Going Back to the Wellman
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on November 22, 2011
William A. Wellman was an attractive guy who happened to make a lot of movies, one of those directors who led an entire life before entering the cinema (as salesman, hockey player, soldier). For Wellman and so many other early Hollywood craftsmen, directing was, as John Ford described it, just another "job of work". Wellman was one industrious worker, credited with 83 shorts and features from 1920 – 1958. He excelled at compact stories of blue-collar types getting sore at each other (or what Manny Farber called "hard-visaged ball bearings standing around – for no damned reason and with no indication of how long or for what reason they have been standing."), able to create a humming rhythm out of wisecracks and violence. The studios, however, tasked him with tackling much more, leading him to clumsily apply his blunt style to melodramas and comedies (his '37 Star is Born is especially sluggish). His career is wildly uneven but well worth looking into, especially the period in the 30s where he was cranking out saucy and speedy pre-coders like Night Nurse and Other Men's Women (both 1931). The Warner Archive has just released a third film from his stellar '31: Safe in Hell (along with later Wellman efforts My Man and I (1952) and his final film Lafayette Escadrille (1958)).
Safe in Hell was shot from mid-September to October 18th of 1931, and was released December 12th. A quickie produced by First National Pictures (which had merged with Warners), it's a seamy pre-code drama about a prostitute who believes she has committed murder, and then flees to a Caribbean island that does not have an extradition treaty with the United States. The lead role of the whore without a heart of gold was originally slated for Broadway legend Marilyn Miller, and was then assigned to rising star Barbara Stanwyck, who gave a deliciously sardonic performance in Wellman's Night Nurse earlier that year (she ended up in Frank Capra's Forbidden instead). The role fell to Dorothy Mackaill, who Ralph Flint of the NY Times said was, "on return from her summering at Hawaiian resorts, [and] was pressed into service."
Mackaill was a British born actress, who cut her teeth as a dancer in the Ziegfeld Follies before forging a productive career on-screen in the silent era, notching the leading role in the 1924 The Man Who Came Back, and in Alfred Santell's 1926 The Dancer of Paris. Work dwindled with the arrival of sound, and First National declined to extend her contract at the end of 1931. That marked the beginning of the end of her career in pictures. It's unclear why the studio felt she wasn't fit for sound, as her performance in Safe in Hell is impressively wild and unhinged, wrenching the underwritten part into something tangible and affecting.
She plays Gilda Karlson, an in-demand prostitute in New Orleans, who is paid an unwelcome visit by a john, the one who led her into vice. She conks him over the head with a vase, and, thinking she killed him, is frittered away to the Caribbean by her merchant marine boyfriend Carl (Donald Cook). She is ensconced in a shady hotel populated by a murderer's row of lowlifes, each ogling her with lip-smacking impunity. Wellman catches the crew (including my favorite name and face: Gustav von Seyffertitz) in a series of leering reaction shots, before they slowly turn their chairs around and await her return trip downstairs. With Carl away on a job, the seedy patrons urge Gilda to sink back into her old ways, and the rest of the drama details this dilemma.
Wellman gets the story rolling with alacrity, establishing Gilda's character by opening on a close-up of her gams sitting next to a phone – the two necessary implements of her job. Within a few scenes a man is presumed dead and Gilda is stowed away on a ship, heading South, her eyes visible through a slit in a box, as she quips, "I always traveled 1st class!". The hotel in the Caribbean is run by Nina Mae McKinney, a wildly talented black actress who was shunted into supporting or "musical" roles because of the institutional racism of the period (she was later known in Europe as the "Black Garbo"). Here she sings the theme song with a smile while serving her customers. The bellboy is played by another grievously under-used black actor, Clarence Muse, who injects a patrician weariness and humor into his stock character. He tells Gilda that they serve liquor, since they are in "a civilized country", unlike the Prohibition era U.S.
The film loses its spark in the closing third, in which sexual deviancy is replaced by an unconvincing shift to the value of constancy, robbing the starkly downbeat ending of much of its power. An uneasy mix of entertaining smarm and queasy sentimentality, Safe in Hell is probably the least of Wellman's great 1931 run (The Public Enemy, Other Men's Women, Night Nurse), but it still exerts a strange fascination. I should note that the Warner Archive transfer looks soft and scratched up, most likely taken from an old TV master. It is not up to the usual standards of the company's releases, but the fact that this rarity is available at all is reason enough to celebrate.
My Man and I (1952) is a showcase for Ricardo Montalban, who plays Chu Chu Ramirez, an itinerant Mexican farmer who gains his citizenship, but is unable to escape racist attitudes. This earnestly melodramatic film was co-written by novelist John Fante, who (according to Doug Bonner) modeled the love story between Montalban and Shelley Winters on the romance from his most famous novel, Ask the Dust. Chu Chu, an almost idiotically optimistic character, immediately believes he can save Nancy (Winters) from her alcoholism through sheer force of will. Wellman militates against the ridiculous goody-two-shoes nature of Chu Chu's character by placing him in cramped, dense frames, with looming faces present in the foreground (one of them belonging to Jack Elam, playing the cynical Celestino), used especially in Chu Chu's flophouse. This sense of visual claustrophobia runs counter to Chu Chu's continually stated belief in the American melting pot, which he proves by constantly wielding his citizenship letter from the President. In his scenes with Nancy, Wellman uses low-light, throwing dramatic shadows against the wall, visualizing the dark pit of despair that Nancy cannot escape from. Despite his best efforts, Wellman cannot entirely free the film from the hackneyed script, which transitions into a traditional courtroom drama, with all of its moralizing banalities. The ultimate saving grace, though, is the presence of Claire Trevor as an unsatisfied housewife whose husband hires the buff (and often shirtless) Montalban to clear a field, and whose withering putdowns and shivering carnality electrify every scene she appears in.
Wellman often said that Lafayette Escadrille was the worst movie he ever made, and I won't argue the point. The story of American soldiers who sign up to fight in the French Air Force in WW1 was a personal one, as Wellman had served in the unit. He even cast his son, William Wellman, Jr., in one of the supporting roles. But Warner Bros. forced him to add a happy ending, and cast the handsome teen idol mannequin Tab Hunter in the lead role. The idea was to bring in a younger audience, but all it did was dilute Wellman's vision more. What was intended as a melancholic homage to the American dead of WWI was turned into a raucous boys-on-the-town movie, and it's a mainly joyless affair. There are some nicely shot flying scenes, and a very young Clint Eastwood picking lice out of his hair, but otherwise it is a lost cause. This is a shame, because one of his previous passion projects, the monochromatic Track of the Cat (1954), is one of his greatest visual accomplishments. Escadrille was his last film, but no matter, he got the job done more often than not.

Emmet, thanks for writing about Wellman, a director I have trouble getting my mind around. SAFE IN HELL is a new favorite, thanks to TCM, and so is Dorothy Mackaill. If you're following filmlover's 1939 day by day blog, Hedda Hopper had a column mentioning various actors people had asked her about, wanting to see them again, and one was Dorothy Mackaill.
Wellman also opens with feet in BATTLEGROUND. Some of his films use this kind of synecdoche (part for the whole), like PUBLIC ENEMY or the scene with the teenagers necking in the convertible in WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD. WESTWARD THE WOMEN, another of his best films, is not shot like that. I'm glad to see some discussion of Wellman's work.

Love his pre-code movies, but for me his masterpiece is the relentlessly grim Ox-Bow Incident. It really took guts to make such a downbeat movie in the Forties, but Wellman had plenty of those. A resounding box office flop at the time, but what a knockout!

You have to work in a mention of the documentary MEMPHIS BELLE somewhere. Yet to catch the whole thing, but still haunted by footage of another bomber going down as the crew counts the parachutes until the pilot orders silence.

What I love about Wellman is that there's no excess in his style; his slam-bang energy cuts right to the bone. He also had an unsentimental fondness for lowlifes that's refreshing. Besides his pre-Code films, I have a particular liking for his 40s comedies like ROXIE HART and LADY OF BURLESQUE; he gets the bitchy tone just right. It's too bad that WB didn't get a better print of SAFE IN HELL, but at least we now have it out on DVD. Enjoyed your terrific post!

Glad to see Wellman getting some recognition, though I think he was greater and more versatile than you suggest in your comment about clumsiness, Emmet. I do agree with you that he was great at the blue-collar movies, and 'Looking for Trouble' with Spencer Tracy and Jack Oakie as telephone engineers is a very entertaining example, sadly not on DVD. It's a pity so many of his silents have been lost – 'Wings' and 'Beggars of Life' are both excellent, with the second of these perfectly showing his feeling for the outcasts of society. (I know there is another silent of his which has been restored and is shown at festivals, 'You Never Know Women', but I've had no opportunity to see that one.)
I've been trying to watch (and review at my blog) all of Wellman's pre-Codes over the last couple of years, and have managed to see most of them despite being in the UK – 'Safe in Hell' has to be one of the greatest of those not yet on DVD, so I'm excited to see it getting a release at last, though it's a pity the print doesn't sound all that good. The film has quite a lot in common with his 'Dangerous Paradise', made the previous year, with Nancy Carroll also marooned on an island – that one is a lesser offering, but does have some memorable visual moments, like a candle flickering in a mirror and going out as a murder is committed off-camera. I agree with Grand Old Movies that there is no excess in his style, and he could pack an amazing amount into a very short space, as he did with 'The Public Enemy' and many years later 'The Ox-Bow Incident'.

I have always had a soft spot for William Wellman, largely because of ROXY HART. Of course who doesn't like PUBLIC ENEMY or NIGHT NURSE, but another of my personal favorites is WESTWARD THE WOMEN. Oddly enough, when someone asks me about my favorite Golden Age directors, I never mention him. Maybe I take him for granted because of his straightforward style. I am definitely going to track down SAFE IN HELL.
I want to second Grand Old Movies' recommendation of LADY OF BURLESQUE. A most enjoyable comedy, with Stanwyck doing some remarkable hoofing in addition to her other talents.
Posted By Cool Bev : November 25, 2011 10:08 am
For all of its charms, including Stanwyck's fine musical turn, LADY OF BURLESQUE does not convince me that she has any affinity to burlyque, fandancing, hootchy-koo, or any other form of striptease. She looks less like a stripper in this movie than Demi Moore in STRIPTEASE.
Posted By Peter Nellhaus : November 25, 2011 11:24 am
The big problem with Lafayette Escadrille is that Jack Warner butchered Wellman's labor of love, the film he was allowed to make in exchange for having to direct Darby's Rangers. Wellman fared best under the protection of John Wayne, so that his last truly good film, for me, is Good-bye, My Lady, a film much deeper that the "boy and his dog" premise might suggest.
Posted By jbryant : November 26, 2011 2:11 pm
DBenson: MEMPHIS BELLE was made by William Wyler, not Wellman.
Among his pre-Codes not yet mentioned, I'd single out MIDNIGHT MARY and HEROES FOR SALE.
YELLOW SKY is a fine western, and ISLAND IN THE SKY is a great aviation drama/survival story, with one of John Wayne's best performances.
Posted By Al Lowe : November 28, 2011 4:47 pm
It should be conceded that Wellman had a lot of fights with prominent members of the Hollywood community over the years. He threatened Ronald Colman, a man everyone loved. He battled with Robert Mitchum and got him canned from Blood Alley. There was his altercation with Spencer Tracy in a nightclub in the 30s. I think he fought with all of the studio heads and that is why he worked everywhere – for Warners, MGM, Fox, Paramount and Selznick.
Oddly enough, when the PBS series MEN WHO MADE THE MOVIES came out, he was considered the most polished and PR-savy of the directors interviewed.
For the most part, he disliked actors. He thought they spent too much time practicing their lines in the mirror.
However, he gave them fine opportunities. Mitchum made the big leagues when he appeared in STORY OF G.I. JOE and was nominated for an Academy Award.
During the commentatry for the DVD HIGH AND THE MIGHTY, they told of Wellman using his own young son for the part of the small boy who sleeps during the flight of the troubled plane. "He came to work and went to sleep. He was the best actor I ever had," Wellman was quoted as saying.
And how can you knock a director who made the following movies: PUBLIC ENEMY, WILD BOYS OF THE ROAD, A STAR IS BORN, NOTHING SACRED, ROXIE HART, LADY OF BURLESQUE, THE OX BOW INCIDENT, STORY OF G.I. JOE, YELLOW SKY, BATTLEGROUND, WESTWARD THE WOMEN, ISLAND IN THE SKY and THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY.
Posted By dukeroberts : November 30, 2011 1:16 am
The Ox Bow Incident, The High and the Mighty and Island in the Sky are all great. I remember seeing his interview for Thye Men Who Made the Movies. He was rather salty. He was a tough old fella. He reminded me a bit of Barry Goldwater.
Safe in Hell sounds interesting and that Dorothy Mackaill appears to have been a looker.
Track of the Cat…..oh brother….what a boring movie. It was visually interesting, but the acting was fairly bad, the screenplay was pretty bad, Tab Hunter was in it and their pronunciation of "painter" instead of "panther" grated on my ears. I know that in certain parts of the country they used to say "painter", or might still as far as I know, but I found it irritating, like when characters in old sci fi movies say "ro-buts". Yeesh!
Posted By Juana Maria : November 30, 2011 4:24 pm
Duke Roberts, I too have seen the movies you list. I too find the speech patterns or pronunciation of certain people to be irritating. I too have noticed on "Twilight Zone" that they say "ro-buts". I don't know why. I personally like most Wellman movies. Thanks for the article.

Was fortunate to catch SAFE IN HELL recently at Film Forum. The print used for that screening came from the Library of Congress and I believe those same elements went into the Warner Archive disc; this is a case of the "best available" elements…not the prettiest, but it's all they have to work with.

DeLay Scandal Goes International
Texas Grand Jury has brought two indictments against Tom DeLay
By Wayne Madsen
Wayne Madsen Report 6 October 2005
A Texas Grand Jury has brought two more indictments against Rep. Tom DeLay, in addition to an earlier criminal conspiracy indictment. The latest two indictments are for money laundering. GOP apologists for DeLay contend that Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle is a Democratic activist bent on a vendetta against DeLay. They have no comment on the fact that it was two separate 12-member Grand Jury that brought the three indictments against DeLay.
However, what throws cold water on the entire GOP spin strategy is the fact that the U.S. Department of Justice is participating in a criminal probe of DeLay for his political fundraising activities in Great Britain, an investigation that includes DeLay's May 2000 meeting in London with Lady Margaret Thatcher, the former Tory Prime Minister.
The investigation involves DeLay's possible support for legislation in return for free trips abroad, including a May 2000 golf trip to St. Andrews, Scotland. DeLay's May 2000 meeting in St. Andrews with Scottish Tory Member of Parliament Brian Monteith and other Scottish Tory leaders are also being investigated. Monteith is an acquaintance of indicted GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff. A leaked British Home Office document states that the U.S. Justice Department requested the Home Office's assistance in a criminal probe "involving high-profile American and UK-based individuals, including a leading congressman and former prime minister Margaret Thatcher."
In August 2004, Thatcher's son, Sir Mark Thatcher, was placed under house arrest by South African police for his involvement in a plot to overthrow the government of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea in a coup d'etat that involved British, Angolan, and South African mercenaries and British, Lebanese, and American financial backers. The Boeing 727-100 used to fly the mercenaries to Equatorial Guinea via Zimbabwe (where it was impounded) was bought from Dodson Aviation, an Ottawa, Kansas company, just a few weeks prior to the planned coup. One of the largest investors in Equatorial Guinea's oil industry is Dallas-based Triton Energy, a firm that is close to George W. Bush. It has been a significant contributor to the Republican National Committee.
Thatcher was nabbed by South African police in Cape Town prior to his fleeing to Texas. His Texas-born wife Diane Burgdorf Thatcher, the conservative daughter of a Dallas millionaire car dealer, and their two children had already left South Africa for Texas. Thatcher had been under investigation by a special South African anti-corruption squad, code named the "Scorpions," since 1995. In 1994, Thatcher fled Texas for South Africa after he was charged with racketeering in a $6 million civil action. In January 2005, Thatcher pleaded guilty to violating South Africa's anti-mercenary laws and was fined $505,000 and allowed to leave for Britain. The United States denied Thatcher a visa to join his family in Texas. Last month, the couple announced that they were divorcing due to an "irretrievable breakdown."
It is doubtful that the Justice Department, under Republican Alberto Gonzales, would participate with Earle in a criminal probe of the former House Majority Leader if there was not a criminal predicate for such an investigation.
It is also commonplace for Federal and state prosecutors to share information when their investigations are targeting the same individual or group of individuals. The Justice Department probe of DeLay involves the possible laundering of money from Britain to DeLay's Republican political action committees (PACs). Those same PACs are part of Earle's probe of the illegal laundering of corporate money through the Republican National Committee.
The DeLay probe now includes prosecutors and investigators from the Travis County District Attorney's Office, the U.S. Justice Department, the British Home Office, the London Metropolitan Police, and the Scottish Police Services. GOP charges that the investigation is a Democratic plot are laughable and inane.
In addition to state charges, DeLay also faces possible criminal charges in relation to his dealings with convicted GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff as well as the latest revelations about laundering political campaign money from Britain. If convicted on the Texas money laundering charges alone, DeLay faces up to life in prison.

Great Double Rainbow Photographs…and Unicorns!
But I did run across a couple of cool pics of double rainbows.
The first from Joe McNally shows an awesome shot looking across Central Park. The composition is great and the fall colors of the leaves just add to the picture.
The second shot is from a photographer who's taken a picture looking out from his office every day for the last seven years! Not a bad view.
I'm usually in a good mood on Fridays. I was feeling pretty good today until I read some sad news about one of my favorite photographers. Joe McNally is mourning the passing of his cat, Nigel. He wrote about it in his blog. If you've read my past blogs, you know how influential Joe is to photographers around the world in teaching off-camera flash and lighting techniques. In my blog yesterday I referenced his portrait of "napalm girl". Please take a moment to stop by his blog and leave a note.
It hit close to home. I lost my cat in January and blogged about it here.
Ok. Let's lighten the mood. You've heard about the rescued Chilean miner with the wife and the mistress? I can kinda relate. You see, I too have two loves: Photography….and cookies. Well, now I don't have to choose thanks to this sweet little camera.
I saw this on the Today show yesterday. Check out these cool microscopic photographs. Some of them are like surreal works of art.
Lastly, here's a majestic underwater image that helped me put things into perspective.

Artists: John Byrne (p), Lary Stucker (i)
The Plot:
As a vampire with a grudge against Hawkman arrives in St. Roch, we see his reason for hating Hawkman stems from the idea that Hawkman was the man's best friend thirteen lives back, and that he left him for dead on the battlefield, but before he could die the man was feasted upon by a host of vampires, which in turn made him into one. As this vampire sinks his teeth into Hawkgirl's neck we see Hawkman has to race the clock to destroy his old friend in order to save to life of Hawkgirl.
This issue does manage to deliver some very solid character moments, as well as a fairly clever narrative style as we jump back an forth in the story to keep this rather conventional adventure from feeling too familiar. I mean I rather enjoyed the moment where the internal narration that is featured on the opening page is revealed to be telepathic communication, as the scene where the narrative device starts directly addressing Hawkman, and he starts acknowledging it was a clever bit of writing. I also have to applaud the matter-of-fact answer that Hawkman provides to a curious Hawkgirl on the final page of this issue, as it's a somewhat ominous little moment that leaves one wondering if Hawkman has actually harbored thoughts of killing Hawkgirl, so he could take another opportunity to win over her affections in her next life. There's also some solid action in this issue, such as Hawkman's race down the elevator shaft with the plummeting elevator car at his heels, and the big reveal of how Hawkman took out a room full of vampires was also well handled, as it makes good use of the idea that Hawkman has lived many lives. This idea is also well represented in the scene where we see Hawkman key to the fact that he's dealt with this vampire before, and if nothing else this revelation helped to give the vampire a reason to be gunning for Hawkman. The scene where we see how he became a vampire was also wonderfully creepy, as it presents the vampires that turned him as vultures that lurk around the battle fields, feasting on the dying soldiers.
I'm not a huge fan of John Byrne's current work, but it's more a sense of disappointment that his work in the present day doesn't hold a candle to his work in the 1980s, rather than any real problems with the art itself. I mean his art tells the story in a clear enough fashion and he's knows how to tell a story, as the powerful moments of the comic have a nice sense of impact. From credit page shot of the attacking vampire, to the scene where Hawkgirl falls prey to one of them, the art manages to sell the sense of danger that these creatures can pose. The flashback panel of the vampires closing in on the dying solider was also a great looking panel, and the page where the vampires meet their end was also well delivered. The action is also worth a mention as Hawkman's escape from the elevator shaft was well done, as was the scene where hawkman takes a wooden spear through his chest. I also have to say the art on this issue looks a fair bit more controlled than his work over on JLA, though this may be the influence of Lary Stucker's inking.
I'm not quite sure I understand what the current fascination the DCU has with vampires, because they simply don't make for good villains against super-powered opponents, as the creatures have far too many weaknesses. Now this issue does about as good a job as one could hoped for, as we do have Hawkgirl fall under the fangs of the vampire, and the book does a solid job of linking the vampire to Hawkman's past, as the vampire is given a pretty nightmarish back-story. However, in the end the way that the vampire is defeated simply underscores how many ways there are to destroy these creatures, as in addition to the wooden stake we also have holy water & sunlight, and when one adds their aversion to crosses, garlic, and running water you have a villain lacks any real sense of menace as there's far too many weaknesses that the people fighting them can exploit. Now don't get me wrong I enjoy a well done vampire story, and this one holds up far better than the one that currently playing out over in the pages of the JLA. However in the end it's still a story in which the villain never quite manages to deliver any moments that left me concerned that Hawkman wouldn't be able to pull off a victory, as the simple fact of the matter it's next too impossible to pretend I couldn't list off half-a-dozen methods that Hawkman could end the life of his undead opponent, and unlike other villains Hawkman doesn't have to hold back his more savage attacks. I'm also a bit disappointed that this issue doesn't offer up some fallout from Hawkman's recent behavior.
It's Raining Catholics And Dogma:
I didn't care much for the idea that Hawkman was battling vampires in this issue but I have to give Josh Siegal credit for his delivery of a pretty enjoyable adventure that manages to touch all the bases of what I consider to be a solid story, which becomes even more impressive when on considers this is a fill-in issue. I mean there's some enjoyable character moments from Hawkman's emotionally charged encounter with his former friend, to the equally impressive exchange that he has with Hawkgirl on the final page. I also rather enjoyed the way that the book jumped back and forth, as it takes a bit of skill to tell the story like this in a clear, understandable manner, and this issue is a shining example of how to do it right. Hawkman also manages to defeat the vampires in a rather unexpected manner that I must confess I didn't understand until it was explained, but after it was I was quite impressed by the amount of thought that went into this plot development, as it neatly ties into Hawkman's past lives gimmick. The back-story of the head vampire was also quite engaging, with the scene of how he became one being a particularly effective moment.


The Champions League final in Kiev was supposed to be a clash between Mo Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Salah had done so much to get Liverpool to the Champions League final and many wondered whether Marcelo and Los Blancos could keep him quiet.
In the end, Real Madrid managed just that, with Sergio Ramos taking up the mantle of villain in chief.
The incident that stunned the world took place on 25 minutes of the Champions League final.
Sergio Ramos and Mohamed Salah tussled for the ball, the Real Madrid defender managed to fall on the Liverpool star's shoulder with all his weight.
It will take some time for Salah's injury to be confirmed, but the initial diagnosis is very bad indeed.
Salah has a dislocated shoulder according to a number of reliable sources.
These include the BBC and BT Sport.
If it is a dislocated shoulder, and Salah could not continue despite attempting to, then the Liverpool star is out of the World Cup in Russia.
It goes without saying that Salah is Egypt's most important player and was the man who guided them to the World Cup.

The head teacher of one of the biggest schools in Hove is to leave to become the executive principal of an academy trust.
Rob Reed is leaving Hove Park School at Easter to join Aldridge Education where he will be responsible for its local cluster of schools.
They are the Brighton Aldridge Community Academy (BACA), the Portslade Aldridge Community Academy (PACA) and the university technical college, UTC@harbourside, in Newhaven, which is co-sponsored by Brighton University.
Mr Reed said: "I am delighted and honoured to have been appointed to this post. As a local head teacher, I have observed first hand the superb work of the trust in Brighton and Hove.
Mr Roberts is an accredited and experienced Ofsted inspector and the school said that it was "fortunate to have such a capable and experienced leader who will ensure that the school continues to go from strength to strength".
The school added: "Rob will formally leave the school at Easter. Between the February half term and Easter, Jim and Rob will work together as co-head teachers of the school.
"This gives the school a unique opportunity to ensure a highly effective and smooth transition.
Aldridge Education said: "The new role was advertised nationally in December, attracting a strong field of candidates.
"The appointment follows an interview process involving students, staff and governors at all three schools earlier this week.
"As executive principal, Rob Reed will be working with the principals – Dylan Davies, Katie Scott and Adanma Umunna – to build on the successes of the schools to date.
Mr Reed joined Hove Park School as head teacher in September 2015, taking over from Derek Trimmer, who also left to become the executive head of a group of academies.
Aldridge Education chief executive Chris Tweedale said: "Rob has a very strong track record as a school leader and in building partnerships that bring real benefits to his schools and their students.
"He also brings his excellent knowledge of Brighton and the Sussex region to complement that of our existing principals. This is a very exciting appointment for us.
"We are very ambitious for our schools locally. UTC@harbourside in its second year and is building its reputation for science, technology, engineering and maths.
"Both PACA and BACA have recently been recognised as good in every category by Ofsted and are in a great position to be recognised as outstanding in future.
Aldridge Education said that Mr Reed had successfully led Hove Park School through an Ofsted inspection last October and to achieving Apple Distinguished School status in November.
It also became a "teaching school" in November – in association with four other secondary schools. This gives it a key role in training the teachers of tomorrow, supporting other schools and developing those staff with the potential to become head teachers.
Aldridge Education said: "He played a central role in the successful bid by five local schools to establish a teaching school alliance.

If the print aesthetic had won—if the technologies supporting that aesthetic, slice-and-dice table layouts and Flash, had continued to reign supreme—our web use would almost certainly still be limited to the desktop, and web content would very likely be constrained to the whims and abilities of a single, aging desktop browser. With no competition, there'd be no reason for that browser's manufacturers to update it, and no need to improve its standards support, as the browser's behavior would be taken as a defacto standard. As a result, there would be no HTML5, no CSS3, no point in innovating standard technologies.

1 Ways of being: from Authorship to Open Source
The evolution of modern societies and the arrival of new technologies bring a progression with them, a change in the way of understanding certain concepts. In a cyberspace where users have access to content from all over the world, which is shared directly by the community, the concept of "authorship" is one of the most transformed. What has changed? How does the Open Source appear? And...Open Source of what?

There are many ways to adopt
On Behalf of Prince Contreras PLLC | Jan 29, 2020 | Adoption |
Adopting a child is an amazing way to expand your family. You get to share your life with a child who needs a loving family. However, adoption is not always an easy process. It can also be quite expensive. Fortunately, there are several possible ways you can legally adopt.
According to Adoption Center, you can adopt a child from within the United States or through international adoption. There is also the option of adopting a step-child, which is a different situation because it involves adopting a child with whom you already have a legal relationship. While there are various methods of adopting, there are two general options. You can adopt from the foster system or go through a private adoption.
Foster system adoption
When parents cannot properly take care of their children, they go into the foster system. Each state manages its own system. These children often live in foster homes, which are temporary places for them to stay. Some may live in group homes.
It is not uncommon for the parents of children in the foster system to retain their parental rights. This can sometimes slow down the adoption process because the parents must give up their rights or a court must terminate them before you can adopt the child. However, many parents would like to one day regain custody of their children so can be reluctant to agree.
Private adoption
You may be able to arrange a private adoption if you know a pregnant woman who does not intend to keep her child or go through an agency that finds expecting mothers who want or need to give up their babies. This happens outside the state system and typically is for infants. On occasion you may be able to adopt an older child privately, especially if you are adopting internationally.
Adoption allows you to grow your family while providing a child in need with a home and family. Make sure that you explore your options to find what works for your family.

As a parent you'll know how important the Internet is to children - they use it to learn, play, socialise and express themselves. It's a highly creative place of amazing opportunities. But there can be risks associated with this and therefore we want to support you in keeping your child safe online.
Please note that no search engine is ever 100% safe but here is a child friendly search engine designed by google. Click here to access this or you can click the icon at the bottom of our school website.
Below there are interactive links to websites which can provide you with support and we have a range of downloadable resources too.
If you need any advice or have any questions, then please do not hesitate to contact Miss McCann, our Head of School who is also in charge of E-safety.
Digital Parenting is an online safety guide for families produced by Vodafone and Parent Zone. Inside the latest issue you will will find advice from teachers, parents and online safety experts on subjects ranging from Virtual Reality to Snapchat. Tips from online safety experts, parents and children themselves. There is also an updated guide to setting parental controls on apps and devices, and information on gaming and keeping kids safe while they play.
As part of your child's curriculum and the development of ICT skills, we provide access to the Internet. We strongly believe that the use of the Internet is hugely worthwhile and an essential tool for children as they grow up in the modern world. But because there are always concerns about children having access to undesirable materials, we have taken positive steps to deal with this risk in school. Our school Internet access provider operates a filtering system that restricts access to inappropriate materials.
At the start of the school year, each class discusses how we can all stay safe online and the dangers we may face on the Internet. We then ask every child from Year 2 upwards to sign an acceptable use policy so that we know they have read and understood our school's rules on staying safe.


Gen X-Cops director Benny Chan helms this action-packed police thriller starring Nicholas Tse, Shawn Yue, and Jaycee Chan.
At their best, Hong Kong actioners are totally fun thrill rides. At their worst, they're boring as hell.
Sluggish, overlong Hong Kong action movie from NEW POLICE STORY director Benny Chan can be summed up in two words, epic misfire.
Once again Invisible Target is another Martial Art movie that I've heard great things about, but didn't live up to those expectations much in the same way the Vietnamese Martial Art flick The Rebel. Though unlike The Rebel, Invisible is still a good effort in the genre even if it's nothing new. Invisible Target follows three cops who team up to bring down a criminal gang of seven, who all have their own hidden agenda. The movie brings nothing new to Martial Art genre but it's done well and is largely enjoyable despite being predictable. Though it is largely uneven, the first half is action packed with enough plot to prevent it from feeling just another brainless action film. The second half of the movie is slow with minimal action set pieces, plus it doesn't help that the movie is way to long for it's own good. At two hours it just pads out scenes that are too long and stretched out to the point where you just want to fast forward to the action. The action here is great, although a little too much wire work will take out some viewers from the realism of the movie. The cast acting is almost on the same level of their fighting skills and Jaycee Chan (son of Jackie Chan) is not to bad himself, just don't expect him to do anything like his father. Invisible Target also has one of my favorite underrated Martial Artist, Wu Jing, who has done some impressive work in his career and he doesn't disappoint here. He makes a great villain and it's disappointing that he doesn't get more roles that gives him a chance to showcase his talent. Invisible Target is predictable and nothing new in the Martial Art genre, but it still entertains thanks to a decent plot and great fight scenes. While too long for its own good you'll filled satisfied with the end result.
What a slick action ride, loaded with the next generation of Hong Kong martial arts superstars. This is loud, fast, action-packed, adrenaline pumping and explosive. I was suprised what I saw a young officer seemed very familiar to a famous Hong Kong superstar, then I found out what I believe he's Jackie Chan's son, Jaycee. He follows his father's footsteps as a supporting role in this Hong Kong film.
One of the first things that comes to mind when you hear of a movie by Benny Chan is Jackie Chan. This is exactly what this movie feels like. A 2+ hour Jackie Chan film without Jackie Chan.
The story is OK at best and is overshadowed by all the action. Unnecessary fights seem to delay the story from moving on at times, which is probably why the movie is as long as it is. There is not that much character development either, maybe except for Jaycee Chan's character. They try to throw in some humor as well and although the jokes are funny there were times where I felt that the humor was coming in at the wrong parts and left me not laughing.
If you are looking for action you have found the right movie. This is a Benny Chan movie, so you have loads of fights, stunts, and shootings. Not to mention the ever so popular repeating scenes from different angles to see the hits or the falls. While these are great to watch, they were a little over used in this film. Getting back to the action, the fights are nicely choreographed and when you have Wu Jing, of Sha Po Lang fame, performing most of the fights, it is soothing to the eyes. Still, when you have tons of explosions and fighting going on, you would expect a 2+ hour movie to go by like nothing. Well, it still felt like a 2+ hour movie. Enough said.
The acting is everything you would expect from a film like this. Good, but not great. Jaycee Chan shows that he is a much better actor than his dad, but not the better fighter. But it is alright since he mentioned that he does not want to follow in his dad's footsteps and become an action star.
Don't look for anything special in this film except for the fighting, stunts, explosions, and fighting because that is all you are pretty much going to get.

Q: Diferecias entre bibliotecas OMP y MPI en programación en paralelo ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre la biblioteca de OMP y MPI de C ? Si ambas sirven para programas de cómputo en paralelo

A: La principal diferencia esta en la arquitectura del sistema paralelo: MPI se utiliza para sistemas de memoria distribuida

Mientras que  OMP se utiliza en sistemas de memoria compartida

La comunicación de procesos en  MPI es a través del paso de mensajes, mientras que en OMP no es necesaria la comunicación entre procesos, ya que todos los hilos comparten la memoria.
OMP ayuda a paralelizar un programa, por medio de directivas:

*

*omp_get_num_threads()

*omp_get_thread_num()

Muchas de ellas son variables del entorno que se establecen en tiempo de compilación.
Mientras que en MPI el programador es el principal encargado de paralelizar el programa mediante en uso de las siguientes funciones:

*

*MPI_Init()

*MPI_Comm_rank (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);

*MPI_Comm_size (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);

*MPI_Finalize()

A continuación dejo dos sensillos ejemplos:
Implementación OpenMP
#include <stdio.h>
#include <omp.h>

int main(){
  int nthreads, tid;
#pragma omp parallel private(nthreads,tid)
{
  tid = omp_get_thread_num();

  printf("Hola Mundo. Soy el hilo %d\n", tid);
  if (tid==0){
      nthreads = omp_get_num_threads();
      printf("Número de hilos: %d\n",nthreads);
  }

}
  return 0;
}

Implementación MPI:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  int rank;
  int size;
  MPI_Init (&argc, &argv);
  MPI_Comm_rank (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank);
  MPI_Comm_size (MPI_COMM_WORLD, &size);
  printf ("Soy el nodo %d de un cluster de %d\n", rank, size);
  MPI_Finalize ();
  return 0;
}

A: Para complementar, en MPI el programador se encarga de toda la logística de cómo serán las comunicaciones mientras que en OpenMP no.  Adicionalmente, dependiendo de la implementación de MPI, hay funciones que trabajan con memoria compartida como lo trabaja OpenMP.


Braunschweig were unhappy with referee Sascha Stegemann's decision to award the penalty. Gomez had already handled the ball to try and control it, and there was little Valsvik could do to Yunus Malli's shot from the follow-up hitting his arm.
The visitors also looked dangerous in a tough local derby, and Mirko Boland should have done better with an early chance to put his side ahead.
Wolfsburg looked stronger in the early stages of the second half and Didavi steered a good chance into the side-netting.
Fejzic pulled off a fine stop to deny Gomez and also proved equal to a Malli free kick as the home side continued to press for a second.
But some resolute defending from Braunschweig gave them every chance of reversing the narrow deficit in their home second leg on Monday.
There was trouble before the game between Braunschweig fans and police. Police said they used a water cannon to control the situation after they were pelted with stones and bottles.

Dallmayr – the epitome of high-quality coffee specialties: Perfectly refined top quality and one of the best known coffee brands in Germany. The era with the roasted beans first began at the Munich headquarters in 1933. As the leading delicatessen business in Europe, the company could already look back on 230 years of tradition as a purveyor to the court of 15 royal houses.
The company headquarters in Dienerstrasse in the heart of the Bavarian capital is home to the fine world of delicatessen, including a top-quality gourmet restaurant: The well-chilled service counters on the ground floor offer the finest fish, cheese, sausage, cold meat and wine specialties from all over the world. Around three million customers flock to the much acclaimed business every year. The installed refrigeration technology was getting on in years and has now been replaced on the fly by a transcritical CO2 refrigeration system with 16 Küba brand Kelvion evaporators.
The promise of quality is one thing, while the choice of the refrigerant was vital for the decision of those responsible at Dallmayr to have the refrigeration system planned by K.E.D. installed. "CO2 is the only environmentally friendly refrigerant with a GWP value of 1. The environmental aspect was very important to Dallmayr in this regard", says Kraus, who laid a total of 1.7 kilometers of new piping to connect all the refrigerated counters on the premises. The refrigerated counters were replaced step-by-step by the general contractor Schweizer-Ladenbau and then connected to the new refrigeration plant accordingly. This made it possible to carry out the work on the fly without having to restrict sales in the delicatessen business for even a single day.
The old refrigeration plant operated with the refrigerants R134 and R404A in the deep freeze segment. "This could no longer be considered for ecological reasons. The investment required for a CO2 installation is much higher, of course. This has to be seen in relative terms, however, as the price of refrigerants will soar in the future. With CO2, we will be on the safe side for the next 20 years. The only environmentally friendly alternative would have been a propane gas installation. In view of the inner city location, this could not be considered, however", says Kraus. Some of the standard air coolers are equipped with electrical defrosting and some with air off cycle defrost. The housing is completely sealed. Hinged drip trays are not used. Even the air cooler for the server room is an SPB standard model from Kelvion - but is fitted with a finned tube heater so that the humidity can be regulated.
K.E.D. installed the new refrigeration plant in just eleven weeks, despite having to struggle for every centimeter. "Space is the one commodity that is scarce at the Dallmayr headquarters. So we had to make sure we got the piping laid accordingly and that there was sufficient space for the refrigeration system in the basement next to the old installation until the old technology could be removed", explains Kraus. The condenser was installed on a rooftop on the first floor.
The origins of Dallmayr can be traced back to the year 1700. In 2015, the group turned over around €900 million, is divided into four different divisions and has around 3,900 employees worldwide – with 350 of these working at the company's headquarters. Dallmayr is a Bavarian institution. "So we were, of course, delighted to get the contract. – Especially as my father had already planned a refrigeration plant for the headquarters some 30 years ago, but did not get the chance to implement it", comments Christian Kraus.
The customers of K.E.D. Kälte- und Klimatechnik GmbH, based in Bischofsmais, mainly include large chain stores like Penny and Rewe, as well as butcheries, bakeries, restaurants and the pharmaceutical industry. The company was founded in 2005 and has grown constantly since then. Sales doubled to €10 million in the first five years alone. The company now has 80 employees - including 18 field service engineers and 4 refrigeration engineers to develop individual and customized refrigeration systems.
"The air coolers are simply awesome, with high quality and absolute reliability."

14 Inventions NOT Available at Aunt Em's House
March 11, 2013 by Carrie Bailey
Not a book by Oz author, Frank L. Baum. The Steam Man of the Praries (1868) was the first "robot" in literature and preceded Baum's Tik Tok by 32 years.
By Carrie Bailey
Context changes things. In 1907, the concept of a clockwork man was innovative, a device before its time. In
fact, Frank L. Baum created his character Tik Tok before the word "robot" was first used to describe "a machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions." It was Karel Capek, a Czech writer, first coined the term from the Slavic word robota, which means "servitude" or "forced labor." Capek's work wasn't translated into English until 1921. Tik Tok, who first appeared in Ozma of Oz, is preceded only by Edward S. Ellis's Steam Man of the Prairies (1868) as an early example of a robot in literature.
Imagination, hope and wonderful is what appealed to children who read Baum's books at the turn of the 20th century. When you go to see Oz, the Great and Powerful this weekend, or even if you don't, try to imagine what the Oz stories meant to their original readers. The legacy of the Wizard of Oz didn't start when Judy Garland stepped into a color movie screen wearing her ruby slippers. That was hardly the first technological innovation associated with the enterprise. The magic of Oz began on the American prairie in South Dakota in 1900 when Baum published The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Baum would go on to imagine a lot of things before they happened. Take for instance, Princess Langwidere who habitually changed her face, much in anticipation of the later end of the 20th century's plastic surgery craze.
Of course, it's easy to forget life might have been like for a girl from a Kansas farm in 1900 and her world is probably best illustrated by some of the everyday things that would be invented during the years the book gained its original readership.
Radio (1901) – The later Oz books are all said to be wireless telegraphic transmissions from Oz, which had been closed to outside visitors.
Gas-powered cars (1901) – Originally called "Mercedes." Uncle Henry and Aunt Em would have had a horse and buggy. And just think, the escalating price of gas is nothing compared to what horses can eat.
Vacuum cleaners (1901) – Aunt Em probably hated beating rugs and sweeping, but she lived during an era when most women were too busy with manual household labor to develop crazy inventions like this.
Nintendo games (1902) – Okay, this one is a bit of stretch, but Dorothy probably wouldn't have thought Kansas so dull if the Japanese playing card makers had already gone global.
Air conditioners (1902) – Though traveling via hot air balloon might have been rather breezy, the invention of the air conditioner ensured no one had to mess up their hair just to stay cool.
Crayons (1903) – A lot of Baum's imagery focused on the bleak grey colorless world of Kansas compared to the colorful brilliantly bright world of Oz. No wonder. Dorothy didn't have a box of crayons.
Tanks (1903) – Before World War I and World War II came the invention of tanks. It's hard to imagine a world where the horrors of the holocaust and the atom bomb
Zeppelin (1901) and airplane travel (1903) – Contrary to popular belief, Zeppelins were relatively safe means of travel – as long as you didn't use jet fuel for surface paint – and vastly more practical than hot air balloons.
Tea bags (1904) – Even when relaxing on a hot un-airconditioned summer afternoon after beating rugs, aunt Em had strain her own tea by hand.
Tractors (1904) – Of course, Uncle Henry had his own set of problems. Working the farm could not have been more difficult without a tractor and consequence of a failed crop was often starvation. No pressure.
Electric toaster (1906) – Perhaps the toaster is the first sign of Aunt Em and Uncle Henry entering modernity, as we know it. Cornflakes and toast for breakfast.
Plastic (1907) – If Baum had been writing later in the 20th century, he might have imagined Oz much differently. Plastics would have changed Aunt Em and Uncle Henry's life, too.
Electric washing machines (1907) – Likely Dorothy would have had to help was the dishes every night.
Paper cups (1908) – The invention of paper cups both marks the beginning of an era of convince and plants the seeds of environmentalism. When Dorothy left home, there were still glaciers. Only, it took a long time to travel by horse and buggy to go see them.
Instant coffee (1909) – With a toaster, Corn Flakes and instant coffee, breakfasts had finally become manageable. While living at Aunt Em's, Dorothy probably had eggs for breakfast from her chicken Billina who later traveled with her to Oz.
The Oz series contained inventions and ideas often ahead of their time. Read today, they seem just whimsical and silly, not potential blueprints for today's inventors. And though authors continued to write books about Oz all through the 20th century, at some point, they shifted from being innovative and daring tales of adventure to nostalgic stories of a safer and distant past.
But, to truly appreciate what the stories meant to children of that era, we have to look to the edge of science fiction
Tik Tok of Oz (1914) by Frank L. Baum. The second "robot" to appear in popular literature.
today. Whatever devices authors use to rationalize the existence of the unbelievable, whether like robots or like Corn Flakes, the ideas must create a world that challenges us to believe in them. That spark of imagination is what Oz made the stories unforgettable. And had Aunt Em been alive then, she might have taken her niece's book and burned it if the girl didn't wake up to feed the chickens in time. Although, it was possible, though unlikely, Uncle Henry might have a flashlight that Dorothy could use to read under the covers. That was invented in 1899.
Carrie Bailey is an information professional and independent author currently living in North Carolina with her teenage son. She is the author of Bungle of Oz, a novella featuring the glass cat of Oz's adventures in the Land of Ev.

Library Voyeurism: Admit It. You Do It, Too!
Is Print on Demand Gaining Traction?


The graph on top is activity in BlogEngine.NET repository. It has stopped late 2016. Other one is Blogifier, another project that started early 2017. If you pay attention, you notice that number of commits in second graph at its pick three times higher than latest picks in BlogEngine. So the last thing you can blame me is been lazy :) Its just shift in priorities.
These reasons obviously related, when project becomes large and technology goes forward, it is much more maintenance and far less fun and you need really dedicated group of people to support it. There are lots of other reasons too, together they eventually broke the camel's back. The only activity on BlogEngine currently is security related - and only if there is a need. Obviously, it is still great project with useful features, you can fork it and keep it moving forward if it fits your needs.
For me, main focus now is Blogifier. It is not exactly a successor to BlogEngine, it is different in many ways, but after all it also a blogging project. With it, I'm trying to take all the best from BlogEngine and avoid mistakes made. Hopefully, it all turns out for the best.

Q: Set text color using data binding on Android I'm trying to set TextView text color using data binding library
android:textColor="@{holder.getTitleColor(context, item)}"

where the method in Holder class is defined like below
public int getTitleColor(Context context, Item item) {
   ...
}

No matter if I return color int (@ColorInt) or color resource (@ColorRes) it paints the text solid white. What am I doing wrong?

A: I seems the int you are providing is interpreted as a hex color, even though it seem intuitive that this setter should be expecting a resource ID.
use the Context reference generated for each bindable view, and use it to convert the resource ID to the color you are pointing to, as described in the DataBinding Dev Guide:

A special variable named context is generated for use in binding expressions as needed. The value for context is the Context from the root View's getContext().

use it to set color like this:
 <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@{data.text}"
            android:textColor="@{context.getColor(data.colorRes)}"
            />

Edit
for backwards compatibility you can use ContextCompat. Import needed:
<layout>
    <data>
        <import type="android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat"/>
        <variable name="data" type="com.whatever.myapp.MyModel"/>
        ...
    </data>
    ...
     <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="@{data.text}"
            android:textColor="@{ContextCompat.getColor(context, data.colorRes)}"
            />
</layout>

A: In my case, the color value was in a String Format(eg. "#000000")
1.String TxtColor = "#000000"
2.Import "android.graphics.Color"
<layout>
    <data>
      <import type="android.graphics.Color"/>
      <variable name="txtColor" type="String"/>
    </data>
     .... other views

</layout>

3.Set to Desired View  -- In my case it was TextView
    ........ other views
  <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView
        android:id="@+id/tvTitle"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:textcolor= "@{Color.parseColor(txtColor)}" //when we import android.graphics.Color we can access it's all methods present
        tools:text="Test"/>
       ...... other views

4.Binding from Activity/Adapter --in my case it was Adapter
inner class ViewHolder(private val binding: BindingClass) :
    RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root) {

    fun setData(data: DataClass, TxtColor : String?) {
        binding.txtColor= TxtColor
        binding.executePendingBindings()
    }
}

A: For setting part of the string to a color - This works perfectly with Kotlin, string resources, and Databinding

*

*Add your binding adapter (place this outside all your classes)
@BindingAdapter("app:full_text", "app:span_text", "app:span_color")
fun formatText(textView: TextView, full_text: String, span_text: String, span_color: Int) {
    val firstMatchingIndex = full_text.indexOf(span_text)
    val lastMatchingIndex = firstMatchingIndex + span_text.length
    val spannable = SpannableString(full_text)
    spannable.setSpan(ForegroundColorSpan(span_color), firstMatchingIndex, lastMatchingIndex, Spannable.SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
    textView.text = spannable
}

*Setup string resources with variables
<string name="percentage">%1$d\%%</string>
<string name="booking_fee">Require card and collect %1$s at Booking</string>

*Convert value to string in your ViewHolder (if you need to)
fun bind(percentage: Int) {
    binding.percentage = context.resources.getString(R.string.percentage, percentage)
    binding.executePendingBindings()
}

*Apply bindings via your xml layout
<data>
    <variable
        name="percentage"
        type="String" />
</data>

<TextView
    ...
    app:full_text="@{@string/booking_fee(percentage)}"
    app:span_color="@{@color/color_primary}"
    app:span_text="@{percentage}" />

Result:

Do not use android:text="..." in your layout file

A: Create an extension function for textview.
@BindingAdapter("android:colorId")
fun TextView.setTextColorValue(@ColorRes colorId: Int) {
    if (colorId == 0) return
    setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(context, colorId))
}

use it in xml like this
<TextView
            android:id="@+id/deliveryStatus"
            android:colorId="@{model.deliveryStatusColor}" />

A: In addition to the solution of @Mardann, here is an updated solution that also works on API lower than 23 by using ContextCompat.getColor():
<layout>

    <data>
        <import type="androidx.core.content.ContextCompat" />
        <variable
            name="data"
            type="com.example.myapp.MyDataObject" />
    </data>

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@{data.text}"
        android:textColor="@{ContextCompat.getColor(context, data.colorRes)}"/>
    </layout>

*

*Make sure to import ContextCompat as shown above.

*You can automagically 'context' as method parameter for ContextCompat.getColor() because it will be automatically resolved to the view's context.

A: create method by using BindingAdapter
@BindingAdapter({"bind:color"})
public static void setColor(TextView textView, Item item) {
    textView.setTextColor(<set color of your choice>);
}

and to call it from xml
app:color="@{item}"

A: To set color from an integer just call:
android:textColor="@{data.color}"

A: You can also use binding adapter and then use color resource.
Define this method anywhere in project:
@BindingAdapter(value = "text_color") //customise your name here
public static void setTextColor(TextView view, int color) {
    view.setTextColor(color);
}

And then in XML use your new attribute:
<TextView
    app:text_color="@{@color/colorPrimary}"/>

A: Create Binding Adapter as follows, here I am passing all the strings to be colored inside {}. Replace the {blah} string with colored blah string in span.
@BindingAdapter( "spanColor")
fun formatText(view:TextView, hexColorValue:Int) {
    val text = view.text
    val span = SpannableStringBuilder(text)
    var i = 0
    var diff = 0
    while (i < text.length) {
        val firstIndex = text.indexOf('{', i) - diff
        val secondIndex = text.indexOf('}', i) - diff
        if (firstIndex < 0 || secondIndex < 0) break
        span.delete(firstIndex, firstIndex + 1)
        span.delete(secondIndex - 1, secondIndex)
        span.setSpan(ForegroundColorSpan(hexColorValue), firstIndex, secondIndex-1, Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)
        i = secondIndex + diff + 1
        diff += 2
    }
    view.text = span
}

In your XMl file use the attribute (app:spanColor="@{@color/colorAccent}") as
 <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/space_xlarge"
                style="@style/DefaultSmallText"
                app:spanColor="@{@color/colorAccent}"
                android:text="@string/create_credential_message"/>

string.xml
<string name="create_credential_message"><![CDATA[{Username} must at least contain 8 alphanumeric characters or an email address. {Password} must be 8-20 characters long, contain uppercase, lowercase, number, & special characters.]]></string>

A: My solution was to use this TextView declaration in the xml:
<TextView
                ...
                android:textColor="@{model.getResultColor(context, index)}"
                ...
                />

and this method in the viewModel:
fun getResultColor(index: Int): Int {
    getItem(index)?.let { item ->
...

    return Color.GRAY
}

A: object CustumBinderAdapter {
    @JvmStatic
    @BindingAdapter("text_color")
    fun setTextColor(view: TextView, color: Int) {
        when(color){
            R.color.soft_green->{
                view.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#5abc6e"))
            }
            R.color.deep_orange->{
                view.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#e62e30"))
            }
        }
    }

}

and in XML use like this:
app:text_color="@{yourViewModel.yourIntColorValue}"

A: Code:
binding.color = ContextCompat.getColor(requireContext(), R.color.text_regular)

Layout:
    <variable
        name="color"
        type="Integer" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textColor="@{color}"/>
