The Michael Crichton penned 1973 science fiction movie Westworld is getting an HBO TV series remake next year. Now written by Jonathan Nolan (writer of the Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar and brother of Christoper Nolan) and produced by JJ Abrams, the new show reimagines the old concept of an amusement park gone wrong in exciting and fresh ways. Described as "a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin" Westworld follows the original movie's outline, but goes a lot deeper into the underbelly and morality of artificial intelligence. The '73 movie is still a great creepy sc-fi film in which the life like robots of a wild west themed park go crazy and start attacking visitors, but the show will also show the artificial beings as victims of their cruel creators. I am very excited about this.
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed last week that original Ghostbuster Bill Murray is indeed filming a part for the new genderswapped Ghostbusters film by Paul Feig. The length of the role, be it a small cameo or maybe a supporting role, is unclear. Fellow Ghostbuster and franchise creator Dan Aykroyd will return for a cameo as well.
With Bill Murray being the sole reason that we did not get a proper Ghostbusters 3 before Harold Ramis' death, I am not very happy about this. Murray seems to be very particular about the roles he takes and has made no bones about feeling that the Ghostbusters franchise is somewhat beneath him, so him returning in a reboot the fans dislike immensely seems to be almost a further punchline from him against the fanbase. Yeah, this kinda ticks me off a bit.
With only receiving a 9% fresh rating at the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the Fantastic Four reboot seems to be off to a very bad start. The first US weekend box office seems to be influenced by that very negative press as well, as the movie only managed to make 26.2 million USD, which is the lowest opening for a superhero franchise since the last Ghostrider movie. Not only that but Fox is also pulling back the ideas of a crossover with the X-Men, even when Bryan Singer just talked about it being worked on a few weeks ago.
Director Josh Trank (Chronicle) tweeted about his disappointment in the movie the day after the review embargo lifted.
I haven't seen the film yet (checked out the amazing Mission Impossible Rouge Nation instead), but will probably still go to see it later this week, because I really liked the first trailers and wanna see for myself what's up. I mean, the movie has a worse rating than "Batman & Robin"… something has to be wrong here.
Den of Geek runs with the unconfirmed rumor that Ben Affleck has gotten himself a golden deal with WB to make his own Batman trilogy. After a screening of BvS for the WB's upper management, that apparently received standing ovations, the producers of DC Films decided to lock down Ben for good. He is supposed to star and direct in a Batman trilogy, which will be the center piece of the DC Film slate. This is still unconfirmed, but two of Ben's non-Batman movies have been pushed back for a few months a day later, so maybe there is something to this rumor. If he really is that good in the role, we can only hope its true. He is a terrific director and would be a great follow up to Nolan, with a similar cinematic, hand made style. Very excited about this.
Great to see he is having fun as the clown prince of crime. I hope he and Batfleck face each other soon.
Captain America will be joined by Falcon, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch and the Winter Soldier.
On Iron Man's side we will see Vision, Spider-man, Warmachine and Black Widow.
Everyone who saw Ant-Man and stayed until after the credits saw a first clip from Civil War which already confirms Winter Soldier, Ant-Man and Falcon for Cap's side, so maybe this will turn out true. I am especially excited to see Black Widow going against her close friends Hawkeye and Cap, but maybe she is playing Tony for a double cross later in the movie, who knows? I am either way very excited to find out and see them all clash next year! Man, can we just get to 2016 already, please?
The amazing, pop culture, videogame sci-fi dystopia novel Ready Player One gets the hollywood treatment by Steven Spielberg. We already know that. What we didn't know was when we could feast our eyes on that movie… but now we know that as well: December 15th 2017!
If you haven't checked out the book yet, you really should. Its not easy to explain, but if you are into videogames, sci-fi and pop culture it truly is a must read.
After the last reboot did not really ignite the franchise fires again, New Line Cinema is going to give our creepy pal Freddy another reboot. The last movie already rebooted the former Robert Englund led franchise, with a darker version of Freddy more in tune with the first original movie, played by Jackie Earle Hayley (Rorschach from Watchmen).
While I liked the reboot, it wasn't as good as it could/should have been, but I don't see the need to reboot again. Just make a new movie with the same Freddy from 2010 and try to do something fresh with it!


I highly recommend it to all fantasy and historical fiction readers.
Andersonville by Edward M. Erdelac is a secret history story focussed on the hellish Confederate prison, Camp Sumter, during the American Civil War. I am by no means a history buff (I knew enough about the American Civil War to have heard of Andersonville and Camp Sumter prior to reading the book), so I can't speak authoritatively about the accuracy of this story, but the story did withstand both the power of my Google-Fu, and the power of my history buff friends. It is obvious that Erdelac did a lot of research for this novel, so when you combine this with his flair for all things strange, mystic and wondrous, what you get is one of the best books I have read this year.
The story follows Barclay Lourdes, a black man on a secret mission to investigate the alleged war crimes being committed by Confederate soldiers on Union prisoners at Camp Sumter in Andersonville. Able to keep a low profile because of the colour of his skin, Barclay begins poking and prodding into areas where he should not be concerned, to the point where his skin colour stops being a valid excuse. What Barclay finds is disturbing, an intricate scheme being played out by supernatural beings with the most dire of consequences.
As I stated in the opening paragraph, Andersonville is a secret history story that is able to use the events at Camp Sumter and the greater American Civil War as a framework for the story Erdelac wants to tell. What differentiates a secret history from an alternate history is that all the events in the book happen exactly as the history books say they happened, and what Erdelac is doing is filling in the historical knowledge gaps with his own story about Voodoo and Christian mysticism. The way in which Erdelac executes this story is subtle and clever, keeping all the fantastical elements on the down-low for the majority of the story, before pulling back the curtains, dropping the readers into the deepest parts of the fantastical elements, and asking them to swim against the torrent to reach the end. It means that start is a little slow, but the feelings of dread and suspense that permeate through the book allow Erdelac to deliver an almighty bang at the end, and that more that makes up for the slow beginning.
Barclay Lourdes is a fictional character surrounded by many real historical characters that played important roles in the real story of Camp Sumter. While Barclay may have been fictional, the use of African-American spies by the Union during the Civil War was very real, and history suggests that there were many men and women just like Barclay who were carrying secret missions on behalf of the Union given their unique ability to wander amongst the most sensitive areas of the Confederacy without receiving so much as a raised eyebrow. Erdelac uses this knowledge to his advantage, and characterises Barclay as a skilled leader of men, someone who is adept at the arts of secrecy and subterfuge, and someone who is able to show a measured empathy to the prisoners of Camp Sumter despite the persecution he has faced from these prisoners his whole life. Barclay is a compelling character, the type of person who always gets the job done despite the cost, and while Andersonville is a standalone story, I hope we get to see him again in another Erdelac story in the future.
Simply put, Andersonville seamlessly blends the historical and the fantastical to create a magnificent story that entertains and educates without pushing any particular world views or beliefs on the reader. This is a book has gone the extra mile to cater for all readers with varying levels of familiarity with the American Civil War. I loved this book, and I highly recommend it to all fantasy and historical fiction readers.
Have you read Andersonville by Edward M Erdelac?


By varying the steam pressure, the Vaction™ unit can emulate steam injectors for product matching and create unique conditions for new product development. Here I'll focus on our findings around new product development.
The Steam Infusion processing conditions allow you to capture more of the volatiles from the ingredients, locking them into the sauce. If you're making sauces with strong flavours, for instance, ethnic/curry sauces, this is or particular benefit.
The ability to capture more volatiles is due to the partial vacuum created within the Vaction™. In the same way, frying releases flavour the main difference is within a Steam Infusion nozzle the volatiles are captured in the sauce whereas frying release the volatiles into the atmosphere as a smell.
The shortened cooking times with Steam Infusion preserves natural flavours. In vegetables, especially green veg based broccoli and Stilton soup, this prevents excess cabbage or musty notes. This rapid cooking also stops the onset of a Mallard reaction dulling fresh dairy notes in the sauce.


It is the return of the big tap spectacle to London's West End. 42nd Street has moved into Theatre Royal Drury Lane and it definitely has not done so unnoticed.
This is the revival of an American classic – some might call it the mother of all showbiz musicals. Director Mark Bramble does not go for understatement in this production. With 43 ensemble members 42nd Street fills the big stage of Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Watching the partly opened curtain at the start of the show and the long line of dancing feet is a sight (and sound) to behold.
Save to say if you do not enjoy masses of dancers tap their feet off this show is not for you. But if you do enjoy a glittering, loud tap dancing spectacle 42nd Street is your definition of heaven on earth.
Clare Halse shines as out-of-town dancer Peggy Sawyer who is hoping to get her big break on Broadway. Stuart Neal (Billy Lawlor) shows he is not just a tremendous actor and singer but also a wonderful dancer.
Tom Lister (Julian Marsh) commands the stage – his solo moment at the end of the show is one of my highlights. It is such a simple yet incredibly powerful scene and Tom Lister quite simply nails it. Sheena Easton is perfectly cast as leading lady / diva Dorothy Brock. A special mention goes to Norman Bowman who is underused as Pat Denning – personally I cannot wait to see his take on Julian Marsh.
But the real star of the show is the tap dancing ensemble. Those guys and girls seem to have unlimited resources of energy. They carry this show and they do so with big smiles.
42nd Street does things big – from the number of ensemble members to costumes and set. Visually you will not find a more stunning musical in town at this point. And I had a brilliant time diving into the glittering world of 42nd Street. This show dazzled and amazed me – no question about that. However, what it failed to do is touch my heart. But then I doubt this is what the production was planning to do. You do not watch 42nd Street with teary eyes because what you are seeing is so stunningly beautiful. You watch it with a huge smile on your face because you are being entertained at the highest level. And entertained I was.
So do not hesitate – I urge you to go and meet those dancing feet.
42nd Street is running at Theatre Royal Drury Lane. For more info and to book tickets visit http://www.42ndstreetmusical.co.uk/.

Funk it up at Vail Jazz gala
Special to the Daily
newsroom@vaildaily.com
Wycliffe Gordon played the first iteration of the Vail Jazz festival 25 years ago on Labor Day weekend. He's headlining the 25th Anniversary Gala on July 8.
What: Vail Jazz 25th anniversary gala
When: 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 8
Where: Larkspur Restaurant, Vail
Cost: Tickets are $250, $300 for VIP, and include food, open bar, music, dancing and valet parking.
More information: Visit vailjazz.org or call 970-479-6146
When the years fly by and an organization like Vail Jazz finds itself celebrating its silver anniversary, there's only one word for it: funk.
The Vail Jazz gala serves as its biggest fundraiser, and fuels various educational programs and the 85 performances it offers throughout the year. This year, it's embracing its funky side for the 25th anniversary celebration gala on July 8 with funk phenom and international jazz musician Wycliffe Gordon.
"The first three letters of 'funk' spell 'fun,'" Gordon said. "This is what the audience can expect to do … have F-U-N and celebrate the joy of living."
Originally from Georgia, Gordon is a former member of Wynton Marsalis' band and has performed with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Shirley Horn and Tommy Flanagan. He has more than 30 albums to his name as a bandleader, and for the last decade has ranked among the world's most talented trombonists.
'passing on the love for humanity through music'
He's also a guy who gives back to his craft. A founding faculty member of Juilliard's jazz studies program, Gordon is a beloved member of the Vail Jazz Party House Band and instructor at the Vail Jazz Workshop, which selects 12 of the nation's top teenage musical prodigies for a week of intensive, play-by-ear, hands-on learning, culminating with performances alongside their acclaimed mentors at the Vail Jazz Party.
"The most outstanding experience with the kids comes when we receive letters about their experience spending a week with the mentors and their appreciation of the love shown and shared on both sides," Gordon said of the Vail Jazz Workshop. "There's nothing better than confirmation that you've 'done it right' by passing on the love for humanity through music."
When Vail Jazz was first born 25 years ago, the brainchild of lifelong jazz fan Howard Stone, it was initially intended to be a one-time deal. Stone and others organized a Labor Day weekend jazz party featuring about 27 of the world's biggest jazz artists, including John Clayton, his brother, Jeff Clayton, Phil Woods, Tommy Flanagan, Jack McDuff, Slide Hampton, Bobby Hutcherson, James Moody, Joe Wilder and Jeff Hamilton.
When it was over, Stone met with John Clayton and a fateful conversation ensued. It was the Grammy-winning bassist who wondered aloud whether the show should go on.
"He said in all earnest, 'Do you think you'll ever do this again?'" Stone said. "I don't know where it came from, but out of my mouth, came, 'John, this is what I'm going to do with the rest of my life.'"
Fast-forward 25 years to the year-round extravaganza that is the Vail Jazz Festival, grew to include 85 live performances including the Vail Jazz Club Series and Vail Jazz @Vail Square, Vail Jazz @the Market, Vail Jazz @ Riverwalk and Vail Jazz @ the Remedy — and culminating with the event that started it all: the five-day-long Vail Jazz Party over Labor Day weekend.
"All great things stand the test of time, and experiences shared here in Vail are far-reaching and life-changing, which is why folks continue to show and the festival continues to grow," Gordon said. "Over the years, the Vail Jazz Festival and Foundation have reached out to the community, locally and nationally, to make an impact on the fans and students alike through the performance of and preservation of jazz music."

What's the best way to prepare for a Reconnective Healing® session? What can I do to allow it to be most effective?
Everyone's experience with Reconnective Healing is unique. Often healings are reported in an instant in just one session. Sometimes it takes a bit longer for a healing to unfold. Your healing may come in the form you anticipate… Or it may come in a form you haven't even dreamed of, one that the universe has designed specifically for you.
Healings can come in all forms. The best way to allow for a healing is to proceed in a state of expectancy, without specific expectations or attachment to results.
Be in a relaxed atmosphere, lie on your back on a massage table or whatever other comfortable arrangement you've decided on, close your eyes and notice. Just notice. Observe. Become both the observer and the observed. Withdraw your participatory thought process and simply observe when there's something to notice, as well as when there's nothing to notice. Lie there and let go, as if you simply had a little unexpected rest time.
If you have just booked your first Reconnective Healing® session, please complete the form below PRIOR to your appointment.

The three cranes are expected to be delivered to APM Terminals on February 15, according to the terminal operator.
Manufactured by ZPMC in Shanghai, the super post-Panamax cranes will be able to accommodate 20,000 TEU vessels, giving the facility an annual container throughput capacity of five million TEUs. As explained, the STS cranes will be fully automated, including a remote crane operator located in an office building near the quay, and will feature a second trolley, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology.
APM Terminals ordered the twelve cranes as well as thirty-two Automated Rail-Mounted Gantry Cranes (ARMGs) for the MedPort Tangier facility in 2016.
Scheduled to become operational in 2019, the new deep-water terminal at the Tanger-Med 2 port complex will be equipped with both conventional and fully-automated operations and an automated truck gate system.
APM Terminal already operates a facility at Tanger-Med 1 port.

I have made knitted and fabric creatures - which I like to call Critters - for a while now and even have made my friends a few with personality traits and facial features and all! Friends also, have bought me or made me creatures too and so I think its starting to become a bit of a collection!
So, I thought I would share with you some of my Creature Comforts.
1. This was a monster making kit that I was given a few years ago by my friend Stef. You got all the fabric, felt, stuffing and glue in a kit and just had to put it all together. I think one of his eyes must have fallen off in a move at some point, but I love him because he is a bit odd shaped and a one off!
2. Some people will probably have these at home too, it is a Munny, this one was given to me by my friend Vic. You are supposed to draw your creatures features on it, but I quite like it plain as it seems to already have its own expression.
3. A sock monkey! There is always room for one of these in your life. I used to go to a pub in Putney where you could get the kit and sit and make your own sock monkey over a few drinks! This one reminds me of my first few years in London and the sock monkey family me and my friends made.
4. This random parrot is from a Mexican Restaurant - well just about restaurant, in New York. I was there for a culture trip with the other students from my Masters course. It was a hazy night of burritos in a basket and mojito cocktails with a loooooong drinking game of 'Have you ever'. The aim of the game is that one person says something like ' have you ever seen Topgun?' and everyone who has, drinks a little sip. This can get quite funny quite quickly, the more people think of things to try and learn about everyone else.
I do like things and objects and am always attracted to these little items when out and about, but also, I love the little faces and personalities they seem to have. Just like people collect dolls or my little ponies (like Sammy), I seem to collect odd little creatures and people seem to keep buying them for me. It probably gives them really easy present ideas, because I am probably most likely to love something a little weird and quirky.
These little Russian dolls, were given to me from my friend Sam (another one) who brought them back from Prague I think. I used to have them all in one, but then I thought it would be nice to see all the little ones. They sit on my window sill smiling at me every morning, I am pretty much a morning person, but every little helps as they say!
These little Panda beauties were given to me by my friend Jenean from the V&A show 'China Now' a few years back now. The Hurt, Happy and Evil Panda's sit on my shelf on top of their little boxes, which I cannot bear to part with, they also make very handy display stands.
Inanimate objects which give so much pleasure, maybe I am a little sad, who knows, but everyone has some sort of ornaments around the house, perfect for catching the dust as my mum would say! Mine just happens to be little creatures of all shapes and sizes! Does anyone have any creature comforts in their house? Please do comment below to tell all.

Q: ViewPager - Change sizes dynamically using PageTransformer I'm trying to make the screen look like this:

|view 1|   view 2   |view 3|
|          screen          |
View 2 is the current view of the ViewPager, 2 times the width of 2 other views, and a bit higher than those 2 views. View 1 and View 3 are full views like View 2, not partial views. Using PageTransformer, I've been able to make the current view achieved the height wanted plus very nice subtle animation, but I haven't been able to make it wider.
So how can I make View 2 wider using PageTransformer? Thanks for any answer/comments!

Aelbert Cuyp, Modern British Dutch 1620 - 1691 Not For Sale
Young Sportsman
Dimensions: 98.50 cm x 129.60 cm
The distant view at left shows Sint Jacob's church in The Hague, and is taken from a drawing by Aelbert Cuyp in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem(1), but the landscape is almost certainly by Jacob Cuyp. The painting was photographed in 1928 when it was owned by the dealer J. Rochelle Thomas in London. This reproduction shows the tail of the dog curving into the painting and a pentiment is visible in this area. The signature and date reported in an advertisement of 1928- JG cuyp fecit 1646 is no longer visible.
The two dogs also appear in Aelbert Cuyp's large painting of Orpheus of c.1645 (Marquess of Bute), which further suggests that the father and son collaborated on several paintings and certainly shared drawings.

DNA-Binding Proteins, Parkinson disease
Alpha-synuclein (aSyn) is a vertebrate protein, normally found within the presynaptic nerve terminal and nucleus, which is known to form somatic and neuritic aggregates in certain neurodegenerative diseases. Disease-associated aggregates of aSyn are heavily phosphorylated at serine-129 (pSyn), while normal aSyn protein is not. Within the nucleus, aSyn can directly bind DNA, but the mechanism of binding and the potential modulatory roles of phosphorylation are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate using a combination of electrophoretic mobility shift assay and atomic force microscopy approaches that both aSyn and pSyn can bind DNA within the major groove, in a DNA length-dependent manner and with little specificity for DNA sequence. Our data are consistent with a model in which multiple aSyn molecules bind a single 300 base pair (bp) DNA molecule in such a way that stabilizes the DNA in a bent conformation. We propose that serine-129 phosphorylation decreases the ability of aSyn to both bind and bend DNA, as aSyn binds 304 bp circular DNA forced into a bent shape, but pSyn does not. Two aSyn paralogs, beta- and gamma-synuclein, also interact with DNA differently than aSyn, and do not stabilize similar DNA conformations. Our work suggests that reductions in aSyn's ability to bind and bend DNA induced by serine-129 phosphorylation may be important for modulating aSyn's known roles in DNA metabolism, including the regulation of transcription and DNA repair.

If Vodafone Idea disconnects, India picks up the bill
By: Reuters |
Published: February 18, 2020 9:17:30 am
Vodafone Idea's departure would essentially leave a duopoly between Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio. (File Photo: Reuters)
India faces a multi-billion-dollar hit to its economy and a tarnished reputation as a place for multinationals to invest unless it can keep Vodafone Idea in business.
Vodafone Idea, a joint venture between Britain's Vodafone Group Plc and India's Idea Cellular, is the most vulnerable of the mobile carriers ordered on Friday to immediately pay billions in unpaid government dues and interest following a Supreme Court ruling.
It has said it cannot immediately pay the $3.9 billion it owes and its ability to survive was contingent on the government agreeing to a flexible payment schedule. With 13,000 direct employees and loans from banks of about $3.8 billion, Vodafone Idea's potential exit would send shockwaves through India's economy, which is already growing at its slowest pace in 11 years.
"A default of such a large scale could increase India's fiscal deficit by about 40 basis points," Aliasgar Shakir, a research analyst at Motilal Oswal, said.
A 40 basis point increase in fiscal deficit roughly translates to a revenue loss of about 1 trillion rupees ($14.01 billion) for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, when it is facing the country's first fall in direct taxes in decades.
Another issue is that Vodafone Idea's departure would essentially leave a duopoly between Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio, which is backed by Asia's richest man Mukesh Ambani.
That could dampen interest in an auction of 5G airwaves expected before the end of March.
A former executive at Vodafone Idea, who asked not to be identified, said the risk of deterring investment was high.
"They have been beaten down by the environment here," the executive said. "(We're sending investors) a very negative signal – it says the trust factor between the government and the industry doesn't exist."
No easy answers
The risks are not lost on Delhi, but finding a solution is fraught.
Two official sources said the government was seeking to come up with a plan that did not violate the court's order.
"(The government) is concerned with what is happening in the sector and its impact on the investment climate," a top Finance Ministry official said, asking to remain anonymous.
After SC rap, Bharti Airtel pays Rs 10,000 crore to DoT towards AGR dues
A separate source said the government was seeking to structure a relief plan before the next court hearing on March 17, but declined to provide details. The telecoms ministry has been speaking with the prime minister's office to resolve the issue, the official added.
Lawyers in the telecom sector said the government could urge the court to allow companies to pay over a longer time frame. India's telecoms ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Modi has faced criticism for failing to create jobs in a country where about one million job seekers enter the market every month. Even some in the business sector, which broadly cheered him to power, have turned on him. State-run banks are already burdened with some $140 billion in stressed debt.
However necessary, some analysts are sceptical the government can pull together a relief plan in time. The telcos still have some options, including filing a curative petition to the Supreme Court, although analysts see little chance of success.
"The acceptance of a curative petition itself is an onerous task – and with the Supreme Court's tough stance now, the merits of opting for this route may have diminished," Morgan Stanley said in a note to clients.
In the meantime, Vodafone Idea has said it will pay 35 billion rupees ($490 million) in dues to the federal government by Feb 21. Rival Bharti Airtel paid $1.40 billion on Monday, less than a third of the total it owes.

-11 - Ricardo Dias Gomes – RVNG Intl.
Ricardo Dias Gomes' -11 is an exercise in unbroken mindfulness, where each sonic element is used purposefully if not plainly.
There is an evocation for sacred spaces within these eleven songs: for vastness divided by towering organ pipes, for wind passing through cracks in old stone, for prayer resonating within marble. And where the spectrum shrinks, an intimacy that is conveyed through a hushed human voice, meticulously controlled drone, and a dedicated finger-picking of the guitar and plucking of key(s).
In "Voei," this devotion become sentimental. Beginning and ending with a solitary guitar, the simple addition and subtraction of instruments in slow communion convey a childlike romanticism that is buried within even the most solemn of songs. Dias Gomes' voice is almost a shadow of the melody, which soars cathartically at the song's most instrumentally rich moment amidst a warm drone; a tacit confession.
This collection exists in a place where the most concentrated reflection becomes almost sleep, but without dream. That moment before repose where one's sense of self, of one's body, turns perfectly lucid. When every inch of skin — every muscle, every minimal mechanism of the living body — resonates. Enlightened as adult not fully conscious, or wise in that ancient way of a child.
In this sense it is a record about simply connecting - remotely, closely, celestially and earthly.
Ricardo Dias Gomes' -11 was pressed in a limited edition of 300 copies, a small stash of which was hand-delivered from Brazil to Brooklyn. This is our album of the many years and moons.

With the end of the Civil War, times seemed propitious for North Carolina finally to attain the diversified economy it had so long expected and sought. The end of slavery would, in theory, create a strong domestic market for manufactured goods, and the weakening of the planter class would allow less emphasis on agriculture. But there were massive obstacles. Factories and shops that survived the war were often worn out from constant activity and a lack of replacement parts. A domestic market would be many decades away, as the collapse of the price of cotton after about 1874 impoverished both white and black farmers. Capital, always in short supply, was even harder to come by after the war. Most North Carolinians' savings and investments had been in Confederate currency, made worthless by the Reconstruction acts and the Fourteenth Amendment. Almost every bank in North Carolina was bankrupt as a result of the war. After the passage of the federal National Banking Acts in 1863 and 1864 and the move toward a gold standard, the entire nation suffered from deflation until at least 1900. Most cash was concentrated in northeastern cities, and would-be entrepreneurs in North Carolina often had to seek capital there, ceding at least partial ownership and control to northern lenders.
By about 1880, however, it was obvious that any gains in manufacturing would have to revolve around the resources that North Carolina possessed; namely, agricultural and forest products and cheap labor. By the late 1870s, tobacco processing was a major industry in Durham, Winston-Salem, and Reidsville, with the Bull Durham factory in Durham being the largest producer of smoking tobacco in the United States. Indeed, until it was dissolved by an antitrust suit in 1911, James B. Duke's American Tobacco Company controlled 80 percent of the U.S. market.
Lumbering operations and sawmills increased in importance in the state, especially in the Sandhills region, as lumber railways were built to open more pine forests to exploitation. North Carolina's furniture industry also began to expand during this period. Based primarily in High Point, Thomasville, Lexington, Hickory, Salisbury, and Statesville, the industry first provided unfinished hardwood to northern factories and wooden spindles, bobbins, and shuttles to local textile mills, but it soon established a reputation for its finished furniture as well. Related industries producing veneer, plywood, and varnish grew as they provided materials to the furniture manufacturers.
Textile production received a great deal of investor attention for several reasons. From an economic standpoint, industrial revolutions, whether in Britain, the northern United States, or North Carolina, almost always began with textiles. It was a labor-intensive industry in which low-wage, inexperienced, unskilled workers (including women and children) could serve as a major resource. From the standpoint of the state's cotton planter or merchant facing the decline of his current business, textiles provided a new but related outlet with a positive potential. To local communities dependent on the failing cotton trade, it promised economic salvation in the form of work for bankrupted or failing farmers or their families, business for local retail establishments, increased property values, and economic growth.
Surviving antebellum mills carried on, and experienced mill owners rebuilt or modernized their mills. But many more new mills were established, especially under the precepts advanced by Daniel Augustus Tompkins. Tompkins, who settled in the Charlotte area in 1883, owned his own foundry and design firm and also represented several northern manufacturers of textile machinery. He helped local communities organize grassroots drives to "bring the cotton mill to the cotton fields" through newspaper and publicity campaigns. Local economic leaders would pledge what they could to capitalize a factory, but the less wealthy were also urged to contribute as much as they could afford, subscribing to stock in monthly installments. In this way, many local factories were established in the "cotton mill campaign" of the 1880s. In 1877 there had been fewer than 40 mills in North Carolina, most survivors of the Civil War. By 1884 75 mills existed. Two decades later, there were estimated to be 318 factories capitalized at $3.9 million, operating more than 67,000 looms and providing employment to 51,000 North Carolinians, many of them women and children.

Elmira High School Graduation Rates Beat State Average
EHS did well when compared to other schools around the state in regards to Graduation Rate data recently released by the Oregon Department of Education. The most often used rates are 4 & 5 year Graduation and Completer Rates. The Graduation Rates for 13-14 (both 4 and 5 year) take into account the % of students that earned a regular or modified diploma in this time frame. The state average for 4 and 5 year graduation rates was 71.98% and 75.90 % respectively. At EHS 79.65% of our students graduated in 4 years and 81.65% graduated within 5 years. Completer Rates take into account students that also earn GED's for example. The state average for 4 and 5 year Completer Rates were 76.90% and 82.15%, while at EHS those same rates were 82.30% and 86.24%. The staff at EHS continues to work to adapt the services and resources available to families to better meet the needs of our students and community. One of the primary indicators of graduation rates is attendance at school. This is also one of the best and easiest ways parents can support their students throughout High School. Ensuring the school attendance every day is a priority is critical and sends an important message to our students that an education is valuable. Thank you to all the parents that make school attendance a priority. NOTE: If you are confused by the Graduation Rate data in the Register Guard today that shows the FRSD as the lowest in the area with a 56.9% 4 year cohort rate, please be aware that is the result of the EHS rate of 79.65% being combined with the charter school rate (West Lane Technical Learning Center) of 14.04%.
School Board Recognition Month
The Fern Ridge School District will join the other 196 school districts throughout Oregon to celebrate January as School Board Recognition Month. Our school board members are selfless, committed and spend countless hours of unpaid time working to provide the best possible education for students in the Fern Ridge School District.
Please join us in thanking these dedicated individuals – Board Chair Andrea Larson, Board Vice Chair Craig Soderberg, Director Sterling Pew, Director Twinkle Morton, and Director David Bolton.
Status of Schools Report
Oregon State law (ORS 327.103) requires that all public schools and districts must meet standards set by the State Board of Education. The Division 22 Standards for K-12 Education within the Oregon Administrative Rules (OARS) includes the rules that describe a "Standard School District." An Oregon school district, to be standard, must provide acceptable educational opportunities for all Oregon students who reside in the district. To verify compliance with the Division 22 Standards, each year, school districts submit an Assurance form to the Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction signed by the District Superintendent. Additionally, this year, the form highlighted five OARS located in Chapter 581, Division 22. The five areas were: Modified Diploma, Equal Educational Opportunities, Instructional Hours, Teacher and Educator Evaluation and Support, and Complaint Policy. Fern Ridge School District is in compliance with all five of the highlighted OARS. Continue reading →

Congratulations 2nd Grade Teachers at Veneta Elementary
The 2nd grade teaching team of Deanna Greene, Corinne Messman, and Angie Pebworth at Veneta Elementary School have been selected as the Veterans of Foreign Wars Teachers of the Year for VFW District 13 for their outstanding work in civic education during the past year. The 2nd grade team worked together to teach students about their local community with field trips to city hall, the Applegate Museum, Zumwalt Park, etc. Their students heard from descendants of some of the Fern Ridge founding families. Local leaders from the community also were guest teachers in their classrooms. The three teachers will be honored at a banquet at the Springfield VFW Post on December 14th. We are very proud of each of them and of the program they put together. Congratulations!!!
Thank You Staff and Community
It is hard to believe that Winter Break is almost here. This fall has just flown by. It has been six months since I started as the Fern Ridge Superintendent. I want you to know how much I have enjoyed working here, and how very happy I have been to work with both the staff and the community. People have gone out of their way to welcome me, and I am amazed as how many dedicated community members we have who volunteer in so many ways. It speaks to the quality of this community, and the wonderful people who live here. I am honored to be serving as your Superintendent. Thank you for going out of your way to welcome me and work with me. I truly appreciate it. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! – Dr. Sally Storm, Superintendent

1 Corned Beef Flat Brisket, and herb contents from corned beef.
1 Bag Of Carrot Sticks.
4 Bags Of Bird's Eye Steam Fresh Red Potatoes with Chive And Butter Sauce Or Garlic Sauce, your choice.
Electric Mixer Or Potato Masher.
I love dishes made in a crockpot because all you have to do is add ingredients to crockpot, turn crockpot on, and allow the crockpot to cook food slow all day and enjoy in the evening. I also love the Bird's Eye Steam Fresh Red Potatoes because all you have to do is place them in the microwave, cook them, and add them to a pan and mash them, no need to dirty extra pots and pans.
Spray crockpot with cooking spray and fill crockpot about 1/3 with water. Place corned beef, herbs from corned beef, chopped cabbage, challots, celery, and carrot sticks in crockpot. Cook contents in crockpot for about 7 hours. If corned beef is not cook like it should, turn heat up on crockpot.
When food in crockpot is done cooking, add one bag at a time of the steam fresh potatoes in the microwave. When potatoes are done cooking, add to a low heated saucepan with some butter and milk. Mash potatoes with an electric mixer or potato masher.
No corned beef and cabbage is complete without it's Soda Bread. Soda Bread can be purchased at your local bakery, grocery store, or if you have a recipe for soda bread, run with it. Enjoy on St. Patrick's Day or anytime.
1 Box Of Cut Ziti.
1 Package Of Ground Turkey.
1 Package Of Ground Beef.
1 Jar Of Bertoli Pasta Sauce: Garlic And Olive Oil.
3 Tablespoons Of Ricotta Cheese, whole milk or part skim, your choice.
In a frying pan, cook ground beef and turkey thoroughly and add in a bowl and place off to the size. Fill saucepan with water and bring water to a boil. Add baked ziti to boiling water and allow baked to boil for about 20-30 minutes, or until fork tender. When pasta is done cooking, place in colander, rinse pasta and place back in saucepan. Add your ground beef and turkey, ricotta, pasta sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Generally, you place baked ziti in the oven, but I made this recipe for the stove. Great with a toss salad and Italian bread.

Introduced Engrossed
Senate Amendment 001 Senate Amendment 002 Senate Amendment 003
HB3271eng 98TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY
HB3271 Engrossed LRB098 09263 RPM 41902 b
1     AN ACT concerning State government.
2     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4     Section 5. The Department of Public Health Powers and
5 Duties Law of the
Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is
6 amended  by adding Section 2310-665 as follows:
7     (20 ILCS 2310/2310-665 new)
8     Sec. 2310-665. Multiple Sclerosis Task Force.
9     (a)    The General Assembly finds and declares the following:
10         (1)     Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often
11     disabling, disease that
attacks the central nervous
12     system, which is comprised of the brain, spinal
cord, and
13     optic nerves. MS is the number one disabling disease among
14     young adults, striking in the prime of life.  It is a
15     disease in which the body, through its immune
16     launches a defensive and damaging attack against its own
17     tissues.  MS
damages the nerve-insulating myelin sheath
18     that surrounds and protects the
brain.  The damage to the
19     myelin sheath slows down or blocks messages between
20     brain and the body.
21         (2)    Most people experience their first symptoms of MS
22     between the ages of
20 and 40, but MS can appear in young
23     children and teens as well as much older adults.  MS
HB3271 Engrossed - 2 - LRB098 09263 RPM 41902 b
1     symptoms can include visual disturbances, muscle weakness,
2     trouble with coordination and balance, sensations such as
3     numbness, prickling or
pins and needles, and thought and
4     memory problems.  MS patients can also
experience partial or
5     complete paralysis, speech impediments, tremors,
6     dizziness, stiffness and spasms, fatigue, paresthesias,
7     pain, and loss of
sensation.
8         (3)     The cause of MS remains unknown; however, having a
9     first-degree
relative, such as a parent or sibling, with MS
10     significantly increases a
person's risk of developing the
11     disease.  According to the National Institute of
12     Neurological Disorders and Stroke, it is estimated that
13     there are approximately
250,000 to 350,000 persons in the
14     United States who are diagnosed with MS.  This
15     suggests that approximately 200 new cases are diagnosed
16     each week. Other sources report a population of at least
17     400,000 in the United States. The estimate of persons with
18     MS in Illinois is 20,000, with at least 2 areas of MS
19     clusters identified in Illinois.
20         (4)    Presently, there is no cure for MS.  The complex and
21     variable nature of the disease makes it very difficult to
22     diagnose, treat, and research. The cost to the family,
23     often with young children, can be overwhelming. Among
24     common diagnoses, non-stroke neurologic illnesses, such as
25     multiple sclerosis, were associated with the highest
26     out-of-pocket expenditures (a mean of $34,167), followed
1     by diabetes ($26,971), injuries ($25,096), stroke
2     ($23,380), mental illnesses ($23,178), and heart disease
3     ($21,955). Median out-of-pocket costs for health care
4     among people with MS, excluding insurance premiums, were
5     almost twice as much as the general population. The costs
6     associated with MS increase with greater disability. Costs
7     for severely disabled individuals are more than twice those
8     for persons with a relatively mild form of the disease. A
9     recent study of medical bankruptcy found that 62.1% of all
10     personal bankruptcies in the United States were related to
11     medical costs.
12         (5)     Therefore, it is in the public interest for the
13     State to establish a
Multiple Sclerosis Task Force in order
14     to identify and address the unmet needs
of persons with MS
15     and develop ways to enhance their quality of life.
16     (b)  There is established the Multiple Sclerosis Task Force
17 in the Department of Public Health. The purpose of the Task
18 Force shall be to:
19         (1)   develop strategies to identify and address the
20     unmet needs of persons
with MS in order to enhance the
21     quality of life of persons with MS by maximizing
22     productivity and independence and addressing emotional,
23     social, financial, and vocational
challenges of persons
24     with MS; and
25         (2)   develop strategies to provide persons with MS
26     greater access to
various treatments and other therapeutic
1     options that may be available.
2     (c)    The Task Force shall consist of 16 members as follows:
3         (1)   the Director of Public Health and the Director of
4     Human Services,
or their designees, who shall serve ex
5     officio; and
6         (2)   fourteen public members, who shall be appointed by
7     the Director of Public Health as
follows:  2 neurologists
8     licensed to practice medicine in this State; 3 registered
9     nurses or other health professionals with MS certification
10     and extensive expertise with progressed MS; one
person upon
11     the recommendation of the National Multiple Sclerosis
12     Society; 3 persons who represent agencies that provide
13     services
or support to individuals with MS in this State; 3
14     persons who have MS, at least one of whom having progressed
15     MS; and
2 members of the public with a demonstrated
16     expertise in issues relating to
the work of the Task Force.
17     Vacancies in the membership of the Task Force shall be
18 filled in the same
manner provided for in the original
19 appointments.
20     (d)     The Task Force shall organize within 120 days following
appointment of a majority of its members and shall select a
22 chairperson and
vice-chairperson from among the members.  The
23 chairperson shall appoint a
secretary who need not be a member
24 of the Task Force.
25     (e)    The public members shall serve without compensation,
26 but shall be
reimbursed for necessary expenses incurred in the
1 performance of their duties
and within the limits of funds
2 available to the Task Force.
3     (f)     The Task Force shall be entitled to call to its
4 assistance and avail
itself of the services of the employees of
5 any State, county, or municipal
department, board, bureau,
6 commission, or agency as it may require and as may be
7 to it for its purposes.
8     (g)     The Task Force may meet and hold hearings as it deems
9 appropriate.
10     (h)     The Department of Public Health shall provide staff
11 support to the Task Force.
12     (i)    The Task Force shall report its findings and
13 recommendations to the
Governor and to the General Assembly,
14 along with any legislative bills that it desires to recommend
15 for adoption by the General Assembly, no later than December
16 31, 2015.
17     (j)    The Task Force is abolished and this Section is
18 repealed on January 1, 2016.
19     Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
20 becoming law.

A little more than a year after becoming the first community college in Virginia to offer statewide industry credential programs for heavy equipment operators (HEO), LFCC is partnering with two other community colleges to provide greater access to the in-demand training.
Virginia's Community Colleges on Monday announced the 23-college system is investing $4 million over the next two years to support curriculum development and FastForward workforce training in the rapidly growing fields of heavy construction and utility-scale solar energy. Select community colleges will develop programs that can be expanded across the commonwealth as the demand grows for skilled workers in these fields.
LFCC is teaming up with Piedmont Virginia Community College and Germanna Community College to develop an HEO curriculum and statewide training capabilities for courses that support Virginia's development sector.
In partnership with the Heavy Construction Contractors Association (HCCA) and the Virginia Asphalt Association (VAA), the colleges will establish online access to training programs in the principles and practices of road building and other major infrastructure projects.
Eligible students can have two-thirds of their program costs covered by FastForward Credential Funding. There is financial assistance available for those who qualify to pay for most of the final third of the price.
Additionally, the HCCA has generously funded a scholarship covering 75 percent of the program's cost.
"We look forward to working in partnership with our sister colleges to scale and expand the program in order to serve more employers and give access to more job seekers to obtain these high demand industry credentials," said LFCC President Kim Blosser.
Thirty-two students graduated from LFCC's HEO program this past spring. All were guaranteed interviews with HCCA members.
According to an HCCA survey, there are 3,000 more operators needed in the northern part of Virginia, and 10,000 statewide. With numerous large infrastructure projects underway and an aging workforce, the gap is only expected to grow.
To find out more about LFCC's HEO program, call (540) 868-7021, or visit www.lfccworkforce.com.
The VCCS also announced Monday that Southside Virginia Community College will receive funds to work with businesses in the energy industry to develop and deploy the Virginia Solar Workforce Initiative, a first-in-the-state curriculum and training program for the utility-scale solar industry. The need for utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) installers, who earn an average starting salary of $42,000-50,000, is emerging in Virginia, and the U.S. Department of Energy reports the solar energy sector is poised for robust growth.
Since July of 2016, Virginians who trained in FastForward programs at community colleges have earned more than 11,000 valuable industry-recognized workforce credentials. FastForward training programs are specifically geared toward the needs of local businesses and offer students affordable access to new careers in weeks or months instead of semesters and years.

Q: How to set the color of a Font? I have a JList and inside that list, I want to change the color of the font of the following words.
Someone said that I have to use CellRenderer but I'm not yet familiar with that.
Now, my problem is how can I setup this renderer to change the color of the Font?
Any idea about this matter?
Thanks...

A: Check out the JavaDoc, it might just have what you need (the example at the top). Basically you just return a component (like a JLabel) with a configured font color.
Edit: since you want to have the words in a different color than their definitions, here two possibilities how that can be done with the list cell renderer:

*

*Return a JPanel that contains 2 JLabels, one with the word and one with the definitions. Both labels can have different foreground colors.

*JLabel supports HTML (like other Swing components do), so you might just set the text of the label as your word - your definitions. Note that the default foreground color should then be the one for the definitions, alternatively you can wrap the definitions with a  tag as well. Have a look at this Tutorial.

A: For JLabel components try:
    new DefaultListCellRenderer(){
        @Override
        public Component getListCellRendererComponent( JList list, Object value, int index, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus ) {
            JLabel label = (JLabel)super.getListCellRendererComponent( list, value, index, isSelected, cellHasFocus );
            label.setForeground( Color.RED );
            return label;
        }
    };

A: consider ...., that would be better using a JTable with one TableColumn and without TableHeader as the JList, demonstrated here, here, by using prepareRenderer, because JList has lots of restriction/missed methods as JTable

A Turkish Summer Beckons
Which of these sounds like your perfect summer getaway? Endless days of lounging at the beach and luxuriating in the sun, or perhaps indulging your senses in the comforts of a lavish resort, or maybe you're looking for a dash of thrill, some adventure, a host of new experiences, or perhaps you're after a chance to take in some history, some art, some culture. Or are you after a mixed bag, a desire to unwind and discover, explore and relax? In that case, a holiday in one of these Turkish destinations — set to the country's warm, beautiful summers — could be just the thing.
Antalya: the cradle of civilisation
The Turkish Riviera, the jewel of the Mediterranean, history-rich Antalya has been home to an incredible spectrum of cultures: the Lycians, Pamphylians, Pergamons, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans have all lived here. The city serves up an impressive blend of 300 days of sunshine, ancient ruins, pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters, scenic resort towns and holiday villages, and traditional cuisine that's a cut above the rest. You could also take in the city's famed sand festival and watch artists build mammoth sculptures.
Bursa: the green city
A few years ago, Bursa was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status for being the birthplace of the Ottoman Empire, and modern Bursa is built around historic sites from its incarnation as the first Ottoman capital. But there are countless other points of interest to the metropolis beyond its imperial mosques and stunning architecture: the soaring peaks and parks of Uludağ, thermal mineral-rich hot springs and hamams, a centuries-old bazaar specialising in the highest quality of silk, signature dishes such as the famous Iskendar kebab. Bursa has also earned itself the nickname of 'green city' — an allusion to the parks and gardens scattered along its urban fabric.
Cappadocia: The land of 'fairy chimneys'
A few reasons why Cappadocia should be on your radar: it is a geological anomaly dotted with towering honeycombed rock pinnacles dubbed 'fairy chimneys', it is home to an extensive network of underground cities and mysterious subterranean chambers, and its eroded volcanic terrain lends it a dreamy, lunar landscape. Whether you're drawn in by the hiking potential of the place, by its troglodyte lifestyle or by its historic and cultural significance, Cappadocia serves up a one-of-a-kind experience. But it's also home to luxurious hotels and resorts, set into cave-like structures, making it suited not just to thrill-seekers but also those after some relaxation.
Izmir: the pearl of the Aegean
Garlanding the azure-blue Bay of Izmir, the coastal city is peppered with beach resorts, some of which are known to offer unrivalled windsurfing experiences. Izmir also makes for an ideal base from which to explore the ancient ruins of Ephesus and Pergamum, as well as the calcium-terraced pools of Pamukkale. The city is of particular interest to repeat visitors to Turkey, looking to get away from popular tourist destinations but still enjoy a taste of Turkish shopping, cuisine and culture.
Trabzon: an unexplored gem
Turkey's green and lively Black Sea city, Trabzon draws more attention by the day thanks to its rich cultural and historical heritage, highlands painted in tones of green and varied cuisine. Most people come to Trabzon to visit the Hanging Monastery of Sumela — hewn into a rock face, it is one of Turkey's most powerful sights — and the Hagia Sophia of Trabzon. But the city also makes for an ideal shore-side holiday, away from the bustle of tourist hotspots.
Bodrum:
Stretching along a peninsula lapped by the Aegean Sea, Bodrum is Turkey's answer to the French Riviera. From buzzing beach clubs to remote coves, the Bodrum coastline provides a variety of activities on unspoilt beaches that stretch into the turquoise sea. Top-notch shopping and dining, a sophisticated nightlife, thrilling water sports, and iconic landmarks — Bodrum is a fascinating city that combines the old and the new with dramatic flair. The city offers the perfect holiday experience for anyone who wants to explore both cultural and outdoor attractions in Turkey.
