These books belonged to my Great-Grandma. I think they are very pretty.
These are some of my favorite books, but I think they could look prettier-since they are always on the nightstand- just being displayed.
This took all of 10 minutes and made a big difference on our nightstands! It isn't permanent, so I can re-use the fabric later for something else.
See...you don't have to sew to enjoy pretty fabrics!
oh my goodness...this is brilliant. i would never have thought to use it that way. it looks fantastic. such a huge impact for something so easy. my favorite way to use fabrics is in quilts.
They look great-I love this!
Best idea ever! Love it.
That's a great idea for the books I don't SO much love. I've needed some specific colors of books for my living room. Maybe I'll try this.

Join live event now: How can the economic recovery be more inclusive?
MarketWatch First Take
Car sales bask in easier financing
Published: March 1, 2011 at 8:20 p.m. ET
Commentary: As lenders gain confidence, so do consumers
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Credit, frozen during the Great Recession, is again trickling down to consumers. Want proof? Look at February car sales.
General Motors Co. GM, -3.81% posted Tuesday a scorching 46% jump in U.S. car and light truck sales last month. It was way better than industry analysts expected, and they expected a lot. Read about February car sales.
The same could be said of other car makers. Ford Motor Co. F, -3.28% sales rose 14% from a year ago, Chrysler sales rose 13%. Toyota Motor Corp. TM, -1.12% saw its sales up a whopping 42%.
All of the improved sales numbers have their own special back story. In Toyota's case it's so-called easy comparatives. A year ago, it was mired in recalls to fix sticky accelerators. The company's recovery from that meltdown has been remarkable, and one few pundits would have guessed possible a year ago.
New Japanese cars coming to U.S.
Ford, riding high on a hot new line-up, continues to grow, albeit at a slower pace. Perhaps the novelty of being the only American car maker to refuse a federal bailout is wearing thin. People buying Fords today are less inclined to be making a statement than they are finding cars they like and believe represent good value.
And then there's General Motors, back from bankruptcy and rolling out new models from a culled baseline of just four brands. Sure, GM's strong February sales reflect steep incentives, and everyone knows incentives can't be relied upon to build long-term success. But for now, they're an effective tool for getting back in the game.
Despite these individual back stories, there's one theme central to them all. Booming auto sales have tapped into the return of credit.
With the worst of the mortgage crisis apparently behind them, financial institutions are feeling more confident about lending money to people, and more people are feeling confident that they will still have a job and a roof over their head for the foreseeable future. That was not the case last year.
Of course, this didn't slow down the wealthy, so there's not much pent-up demand for luxury cars. That might be one of the reasons U.S. sales of Daimler AG's (DAI) Mercedes-Benz rose only 5% last month while others' sales of less pricy sedans had a huge month.
GM was the odd man out in this regard, with its pickups and utility vehicles showing the biggest year-over-year gains. That could spell trouble for GM if gasoline tops $4 a gallon this summer.
A big spike in gasoline prices could certainly cool car sales, but those manufacturers with a stable full of fuel-efficient models should be able to deflect some of the blow as long as credit continues to flow to consumers.
On the other hand, soaring fuel costs and years of cheap credit collided head-on in 2008, resulting in one of the auto industry's worst years in decades.
Investor recollections of that terrible wreck might explain why shares of GM, Ford and Toyota all fell Tuesday, a day when crude-oil futures in New York poked their nose back above $100 a barrel. And the summer driving season hasn't even begun.

How Fractional Trading Is Democratizing the Stock Markets
Wall Street Has No Idea What Stocks Will Do At Midterms
By Tom Kool - Sep 24, 2018, 4:00 PM CDT
Speculators love to find patterns in the stars, and the latest mantra—at least for the stock market bulls—is that history claims to tells us that every time we've seen a significant amount of uncertainty ahead of a midterm election, stocks have jumped afterwards.
According to a recent analysis from Macro Risk Advisors (MRA), during mid-term election years, markets fare better in the fourth quarter. And they tend to fare better … significantly, as reported by Forbes.
MRA says that during a mid-term election year, the average stock gains for the month of October have been 2.43 percent, compared to only 1.03 percent for other years, with the exception of years in which presidential elections are held, when the October average gain is only 0.51 percent.
So, it's October that's the month to watch, if this analysis stands the test of time, because while the numbers for the rest of the quarter are also better than normal in a mid-term election year, the gains in November and December are smaller by comparison (1.91 percent average gains in November during midterm elections years and 1.5-percent gains in December for the same parameters).
But what happens when we through this particular midterm election into the mix? This time around, it's possibly more heated than normal, and many see the potential for Republicans to lose control of the House—possibly even the Senate, though the chances of that are further remote.
In that event, would the bulls run for the hills? Or would the market simply stop tempting the bears amid a trade war that just took a sharp turn for the worse today?
September is generally a rough one for stocks when midterm elections are in question. But then again, September generally isn't great for stocks anyway, but the political uncertainty adds fuel to that fire.
That said, according to chart analysis from Market Watch, stocks usually fair well enough as we draw nearer to election day, and post elections—no matter who wins. It's more about putting an end to the uncertainty than is about who takes the House in the immediate aftermath.
Source: Market Watch
And it may just be a coincidence, anyway.
Market Watch quoted Deutsche Bank chief strategist Binky Chadha as saying that fourth-quarter performance may not be just about political uncertainty. It might have more to do with growth and earnings—those less exciting traditional fundamentals. To make the point, Chadha says that S&P 500 returns near midterm election times have a 76-percent correlation with changes in the Institute for Supply Management's activity index in the same period.

So, should you rush to buy stocks right now—in the apparently generous month of October?
Not necessarily. History is … history, and the newest administration in Washington has clearly demonstrated that tradition is not what it used to be.
It's fun to try to detect patterns, but it this case, it's not a cut-and-dry investment guide.
Wall Street was pretty bad at predicting what would happen to stocks when Trump won presidential elections.
"Market reaction to policy changes is often different than expected," Mike Ryan, chief investment officer for the Americas at UBS Global Wealth Management, wrote in the firm's Election Watch report, as reported by Bloomberg.
"Since few can claim the ability to reliably predict elections -- look no further than the Brexit vote and the 2016 US presidential election -- humility is called for as we look forward to November," Ryan said.

A small step for us, a giant leap for Europe
A small step for us logoA small step for us, a giant leap for Europe is a news exchange project coordinated by the teacher Merceds García Guerrero (Colegio Caja Granada) in collaboration with her project partner Francesc Romero Gutiérrez at the Swedish school (Fredrikshov Slott Scoala).
English is the vehicular language chosen to communicate with the partner, which permits the enrichment of the linguistic profile of the students and the improvement of their competences in the use of this second language in a real life context.
An important part of the project is developed in the family environment where, at least once a month, the family get together to comment on the news items and help the students to identify the most important events at the national and local level.
A rigorous planning process and assignation of tasks among the participants facilitates the development of the work and its punctual delivery on the dates set for each monthly news programme. The schools exchange the materials using different supports (blog, Dropbox, wiki). Each school takes charge of creating its own local news programme experimenting with different video formats and presentation software and shares the results with the partner school. During the first week of every month the students comment on the material created in a skype session. The project is still at the development stage but they intend to publish a digital yearbook at the end of the school year which each school will keep as a reference book to be disseminated and enjoyed by all the members of the school community.
The activities carried out so far are very varied and reinforce team work, dialogue and debate among the students. We highlight among other aspects: the activity which consisted of reading the first original chapter of Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll) and comparing it with the film made by the director Tim Burton; the competition Young Graphic Illustrators which challenged the abilities of the students as comic artists taking the work by Lewis Carroll as a reference; the introduction of the language of advertising to the younger students using a game format; and the competition for the best advertising spots in video format.
Winning comic by Mikaela and Vendela:
The collaboration with external agents who participate in the development of some of the activities, is also worthy of note. For example the virtual meeting uisng Google Hangout beteen the students at the participating schools and the film director J.M. Asensio, who answers different questions about films which were put to him by the students themselves, awakening their interest in the world of cinema.
From the NSS we congratulate the participating teachers and students in the project and hope that they continue to progress at a good pace and go on surprising us with their original proposals which encourage learning autonomy, collaborative work and students' creativity.

Region's workforce shifting away from hospitality
Celtics' Smart optimistic he'll be available for Game 3
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart says there's a "strong likelihood" he'll play Saturday after missing Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal with a bruised right thigh.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart says there's a "strong likelihood" he'll play Saturday after missing Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal with a bruised right thigh.
"We're just dealing with the last part of it, and that's getting that restriction off of the knee and the joint so I can be able to bend," Smart said Thursday in a Zoom session from Boston. "Once that goes away, I should be back to myself. Everything else is healing up the right way."

Celtics coach Ime Udoka said "we'll know more tomorrow, how he reacts to what he did today." The series is tied 1-1 as it heads back to Milwaukee after the Celtics earned a 109-86 victory in Game 2.
Smart said the injury is similar to an issue he faced in the regular season. The NBA defensive player of the year missed six games in January due to a quadriceps problem. He added he's also dealing with fluid in his knee.

"It's literally the exact same one in the exact same spot," Smart said. "Just reaggravating the same injury I've been dealing with. As we all know, injuries like that, they kind of linger."
Smart said the injury is particularly bothersome when he tries to get into a defensive crouch.
"That's what's kind of keeping me back, because of the fluid on the knee that is restricting that movement to really bend down as much as I need to, especially to get into a defensive stance and explode and push off. It's kind of hard to get out there and play when you can't do that."

Hey Geoffrey here is a picture of myself, doing a semi-traditional Samoan (Polynesian) dance at a relative's wedding. Lots of food and tons of joy.
Well let's see, I love the love of wisdom because I believe that Philosophy is an awesome vehicle in pursuing truth, obviously I come from a worldview which presupposes that such a thing as 'truth' truly exists, in an objective sense and not a relativistic sense.
Reading, writing, lunting, watching movies, music, talking and enjoying time with family and friends defines my life in a nutshell. Study and work, well, are necessary 'evils' as they say haha. Living in the 'land of the long white cloud' - New Zealand, pretty much makes me a bona fide Kiwi, I enjoy it here in the country side very much. Frequent trips between the country side and the city (once every two months most times) for work, family and friends gives a new substance to the saying "life as a journey".
I hope things are well in England, my paternal Grandfather was from Uxbridge, Middlesex. Hopefully I will visit England, maybe study there for postgraduate studies? Who knows how destiny will unfold!
On closing, I would like to say a sincere thanks for everything you have done Geoffrey in making Philosophy open and free to anyone and everyone who has an interest in it, helping to fan the 'flame' of wisdom so to speak.
P.S. Here are two links for web sites which I frequently keep track of, and keep in touch with actually. Please add them only when you can slip them in, I know you are very busy.

The Sask. Agricultural Graduates Association - A Brief Review
The idea for the Saskatchewan Agricultural Graduates' Association came when a group of seven enthusiastic Agros, namely Lucien "Gus" Bell, Murray S. Cooke, Maurice E. Hartnett, Ian S. McArthur, John Mitchell, O. R. "Red" Mooney and Solomon "Sol" Sinclair, met in Sol's room at the Bessborough Hotel during Farm and Home Week in January 1935. Thirty-two graduates met on May 10, 1935 in room 104 of the College Building (now Administration), and the Association was officially formed complete with a Constitution. The first executive met May 13, 1935. Originally, it was called the Saskatchewan Agricultural College Students' Association. It seems the term "College Students" was replaced by the word "Graduates" when the first Constitution was drawn up.
A plaque commemorating this meeting is on the wall where the former room 104 was located. The total membership in 1935 was 121. Annual General Meetings have been held each January since January 14, 1936. It is impressive that, although the Constitution has been frequently revised to remain current, the original objectives set out in it in 1935 remain identical today.
The SAGA has been active in many ways. It was of major assistance during the fund raising for the new Agriculture Building in the 1980's. SAGA was a founding member of the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame in 1971-72. The Association publishes a Newsletter for members three times a year. It has supported student activities with both financial and volunteer help. Each year, it selects for recognition, Honorary Life members who have made contributions in the broadest sense to agriculture. Many reunion classes have funded endowments and/or scholarships in the College.
Membership in the SAGA now approaches 2000 and is growing. The annual Ag Grad Reunion events are mostly held in January when the Mixer, Banquet, and the Annual General Meeting are the main events. Most reunion groups organize their own separate social gatherings to add to the main events.
More details on the SAGA from 1935 to 1980 are in the Historical Review and Register of Graduates published in 1980. Forever Young followed in 2000 with both books being published by the SAGA. Updated lists of graduates and additional information about award winners and other major happenings of interest to grads up to 1999 appear in Forever Young.
The original Agro "group of seven" would be very impressed and proud of the high esteem the Association is held in today.

More and more, consumers are bypassing search engines and typing terms relevant to their searches directly into Web browsers. As a result, many businesses are using generic or descriptive domain names to capture these prospects — they generate tremendous natural type-in traffic and are highly relevant to searcher intent.
In fact, the value of these domains was validated by the results of Sedo's Q2 Market Study for 2009 which revealed ongoing, strong demand with more than $15 million in sales for premium generic domains.
These domains provide an effective way to maximize Web presence, drive traffic and ultimately bring more customers to a company's doorstep. For example, if you type "loans.com" into your browser, you will be immediately redirected to Bank of America's website. Bank of America purchased the domain to encourage loan seekers to use their services. Not only does the company profit from being associated with loans, it's receiving a large amount of additional traffic to its main website. Another example is the domain "Money.com," which redirects to CNN's financial page.
This growing interest in acquiring additional domain names has been encouraged by new and easier methods of attaining them — most domain registrars help businesses navigate the secondary domain market, even if those domains are already owned. Many top generic domains will come with a lofty price, but with a little keyword research and creativity there will be many domains available that can help drive qualified, type-in traffic to your website.
Think like a Web surfer. People type generic terms expecting to find goods or services related to that subject. Try to stay on-target with your generic domains so that users feel secure when being redirected to another domain.
Consider using quirky names that are also relevant to your business. Examples might include slang terms or catch phrases. Like CNN's Money.com, PennyPincher.com might attract a particular audience.
Don't be afraid of the long tail. While single-word generic domains like Money.com are the most desirable, there is plenty of value in longer variations. Catchy long-tail domains are easy to market if they are memorable.
Flip that domain. Just because you don't sell a product related to a good generic domain doesn't mean you can't profit. A good domain is attractive to many buyers who didn't take advantage of the opportunity. There are many places to sell domains including Sedo.com, Bido.com, Flippa.com, Moniker.com and even eBay.

Johnston oversees a variety of responsibilities for Sedo including marketing, legal and strategy. He represents Sedo as a founding member of the Internet Commerce Association (ICA) and sits on the Board of Directors in the role of association president, helping to shape the future of domain names in the political space.
The Web has few borders, so take advantage of the widespread opportunities. Country-level domain extensions such as .co.uk (United Kingdom) and .com.mx (Mexico) are available for purchase and present an excellent opportunity to brand your business internationally. This becomes even more important if you have a product of value in a particular country or region.
Do a little research before purchasing generic, country-level domains. Find out what items or services are popular there, and watch out for any regional dialects or differences in meanings of particular words. Also, a website in the native language or at least the ability to translate the site into that language is important.

Bale to stay at Spurs
This is of course what Tottenham's manager Andres Villas-Boas has said about Spurs top player, yet we all know that when a club like Real Madrid are set to break the bank after having labelled the Welsh wizard their number one summer transfer target that it could just be a ploy by Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy to up the wingers price.
Any Spurs fan will tell you that they do not want to see their best player leave, yet are intelligent enough to realise that the club is about more than just on player, and that the money raised by Bale could be used to buy Aston Villa's Belgium beast Christian Benteke, and a host of other young talent.
Anyway here is what AVB had to say you can read it and then make up your own mind as to whether bale will leave or not.
"The chairman said that we are not open to offers, whatever they are, and that the player will stay," he told Portuguese newspaper O Jogo.
"The chairman said that we are not open to offers, whatever they are, and that the player will stay."
"In football anything can happen, but these are the guarantees given to me.
"There was a moment last season when Gareth came to me because he was not comfortable out on the pitch.
"I do not know if it was my response or that he was glad to relieve the stress, but after that he became confident and played with freedom.
"He felt important and finished the year in style."

Operation Fall-Back
Posted: September 1, 2016 - 1:00 am
It's that time of year again when Halifax Regional Police launches its 'Operation Fall-Back' campaign in an effort to reduce noise complaints, property damage and public intoxication in the south end of Halifax.
The campaign, which was created in 2004 in response to concerns raised by citizens, will start the evening of September 2 and will run throughout the month of September. Halifax Regional Police will implement increased high-visibility patrols and directed enforcement in known complaint areas. We will continue to work closely with community groups, university officials and student representatives to help prevent a repeat of problems from previous years through education and enforcement.
In October, when 'Operation Fall-Back' has concluded, the partnership will evolve into a dedicated patrol program in designated neighborhoods around Dalhousie and King's campuses. Through "Dalhousie Designated Police Patrol," Halifax Regional Police provides the police cruisers and Dalhousie University pays the staffing costs for officers who patrol at peak times on selected dates throughout the year.
Last year during 'Operation Fall Back,' officers issued 85 summary offence tickets for noise complaints, alcohol-related infractions and motor vehicle violations. Officers also responded to 96 noise complaints and arrested two people for public intoxication.

A: Another option is to use the Isolated Storage Explorer Tool (ISETool.exe) which comes with the 7.1 SDK. It's a command line driven tool available in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\IsolatedStorageExplorerTool\ (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\IsolatedStorageExplorerTool on a 64 bit machine). To interact with your application's Isolated Storage you need to specify if it should connect to a physical device or the emulator as well as the product ID (The GUID specified in your WMAppManifest.xml file). Eg. To download all the files from your emulator to C:\Foo\ you'd use;
ISETool.exe ts xd {ProductID Here} C:\Foo

Run ISETool without arguments to get help on its exact usage. ts here stands for "Take Snapshot", other options are rs (Restore Snapshot) and dir (list contents). xd is "Emulator" and de is "Device".
Once you've ran this you can navigate to C:\Foo and see the exact contents of the Isolated Storage for your application.
It takes a bit more fiddling than the wp7explorer tool but doesn't require you to link to an assembly or make any code modifications.

A: You can use this tool and after installing launch it and run your application to find he saved file.

Current Market
Presently, there are severe shortages of round diamonds between 1.00 through 3 carats. Strong market demand for 90 pointers. F-G Colors, VS-SI2 clarity are extremely hard to locate. There have been small price increases in these goods. Investors are starting to buy large D-IFs. Rough prices are high and shortages are putting increasing pressure on polished buyers to pay more. Severe shortages of Russian rough crystals have pushed up prices for princess, radiant, emerald, and pear shapes. Expect prices to increase.
Argyle Diamond Decides to Leave DeBeers Cartel, by Neil Behrman (Wall Street Journal-June 10, 1996)
London-Argyle Diamond Mines Joint Venture, the Australian diamond producer, is withdrawing from DeBeers Centenary AGÕs cartel.
"We believe that we will get a better deal if we sell our diamonds independently," says Andrew Murray, manager of corporate services in Argyle. "The mine produces 40 million carats of diamonds a year, or 37% of global output," he said. A carat equals a fifth of a gram.
"We are disappointed that Argyle is not renewing its contract," a DeBeers spokesman said. "Yet the pull out must be put in perspective," he said. "The value of Argyle's production, at $360 million only accounts for 6% of the global $6 billion diamond market," the spokesman said.
Diamond dealers in London and Antwerp, Belgium fear that there will be a period of "market turbulence" as Argyle and DeBeers jockey for market share. "Prices of the cheaper diamonds that Argyle mainly produces could slide," said Marcel Grunhaut, managing director of Double MG BVBA in Antwerp. Overhanging the market is an Argyle stockpile equivalent to one year's production, dealers said.
Despite the low value of Argyle's sales, dealers regard this withdrawal as a blow to the DeBeers cartel, which controls around 75% of the global diamond market. Recently, the cartel renewed a contract to sell diamonds on behalf of Russia, the producer that mines the most valuable gems. But the pact is less favorable to the cartel than the previous one, dealers said, and details are taking a long time to be finalized.
"Moreover, RTZ CRA Group, the joint United Kingdom and Australian mining company, holds stakes in Argyle and Amber Resources Ltd., a promising Canadian diamond producer," said Marcel Pruwer, an Antwerp diamond dealer and consultant. "It is likely that an independent Argyle marketing operation will sell Canadian diamonds when expected large-scale production comes on stream within a few years," he said.
Inside Job at Argyle
Between 1988 and 1993, $50 million worth of diamonds may have been stolen from Australia's Argyle diamond mine. Argyle's security chief, his wife, and a race horse owner are charged with the crime. Apparently, the diamonds were never entered into the computers, so there was no official record of the stones. What tipped off Argyle was when several rough pink diamonds showed up in 1989 in Geneva and Antwerp. Since Argyle is the producer of the pinks, they knew the stones were Australian, and they started an investigation. The main stone that led to the arrests was an 11 carat light pink. For years the Australian police investigated the theft with no results. Finally, the security chief and his wife admitted they were stealing diamonds.
DeBeers Sales Increase
DeBeers reported an 11% increase in sales for 1995. Earnings were $624 million, up from $560 million. Sales were up 7% to over 4.5 billion.
DeBeers and Russia
DeBeers and Russia have reached an agreement which will close most of the loopholes that allowed $1.8 billion worth of rough diamonds to leak into the world diamond market the last three years. Almazi-Rossii-Sakha or ARS is now the only Russian agency entitled to export Russian diamonds. Most of the outside sales came from Komdragmet and Techalmaz. These agencies are no longer allowed to market Russian diamonds. The Director of Komdragmet was fired by Boris Yeltsin. He was under investigation for the disappearance of $88 million worth of diamonds in San Francisco.
These changes were the result of the senior members of the Russian government who wanted to take control of the Russian diamond industry. The agreement is expected to hold even if there are major changes in the Russian Government after Russia's June presidential election.
Russia did win the right to sell up to 12.5% of their rough outside of DeBeers, up from 5% on the 1990 agreement. In return, DeBeers received the right to Russia's run-of-mine production instead of receiving what was left over. The new agreement sets a Russian sales quota at $1.2 billion. From the first $600 million, DeBeers has a right to the complete run-of-mine material. The Russians can take 5% and sell it on the open market. The second $600 million is divided into two groups: the remainder of the run-of-mine material and rough of the Russian stockpile. ARS will be able to sell 20% of this half on the open market.
Diamond industry leaders hailed this agreement as an important step in restoring confidence and stability in the diamond market.
Vyacheslav Shtyrov, the President of Almazi-Rossii-Sakha, or ARS, wants to become another DeBeers. ARS is already the second largest diamond concern with annual production sales of $1 billion. One problem for ARS is it is very difficult to raise capital. The company cannot sell shares, issue securities or mortgage property. Also, the ownership of ARS is complex. The Russian government owns 32%, Sakha own 32%, employees own 23%, and eight Sakhan regions own 8%, and 5% is owned by the Social Security for Veterans. ARS owns no mines but leases them for 50 years. ARS is short of cash but hopes to set up a multi-national corporation to compete with DeBeers.
Colored Diamond Exhibit
In Omaha, Nebraska the following gems were shown:
The Golden Jubilee-A 545 carat golden rose cut. The diamond was 755 carats when discovered at DeBeers Premier mine in 1986. It has been on display at the Jewelry Trade Center in Bangkok. After a limited world tour, Henry Ho will present the diamond to the King of Thailand to celebrate his 50th year of rule.
The Lazare Kaplan Diamond-a 620 carat rough diamond.
The Fancoldi Collection-32 Fancy rare colored diamonds.
The Stanley Kahn Diamond-a 4.25 yellow diamond discovered in 1977 in Arkansas.
GIA Colored Diamond Grading Reports Up
With the advent last year of a new system for grading fancy colored diamonds, demand for grading reports for these stones has skyrocketed 75%. The GIA plans to expand the New York facility to accommodate this demand.
The most famous sapphire mines are either played out or unreliable. Sapphire mines in Kashmir have been depleted since the 1920s. Mining in Burma is difficult to access. Cambodia and Thailand no longer possess much material worth mining. The leading source today is Sri Lanka, but the supply is sporadic. Vietnam may be a promising source in the future, but so far the quality has been only commercial. Recent reports also indicate small intense blue sapphires are being mined in Laos.
Recent production from Tanzania lead many to believe Africa may be the next great source of sapphire. The finest blues look like the finest Sri Lanka material. Rwanda is also producing sapphire. The highest quality sapphire being produced is Madagascar. They tend to be between 1/2-1 carats, and they respond to heat treatment. They are being described as between Sri Lanka and Kashmir quality and can be priced over $1000 per carat. Due to the fact bribes must be paid in Africa and sapphire is found only with hard-rock mining, expect these prices to increase.
Australia may play a more vital role in sapphire production. Although Australia is known for low quality sapphire, heating technology is helping their production. The Redstone area in New South Wales is producing higher quality rough. For many years the Thais would buy the good Australian rough and resell it as Thai or Cambodian goods.
Recent reports indicate that prices are up for all qualities of blue sapphire. African sapphire is now mixed in parcels with Sri Lanka stones. Ten carat Thai blue sapphires, 4.5-5.0 color, clean were $2500+ per carat. Standard 2-3 carat sapphires were extremely high.
Calibrated spinel is a new product in Bangkok. All of these stones are below a carat. Fine clean Burma spinel over a carat are not available. There is some production of included carat size Spinel.
Mong Hsu ruby dominates the ruby market. Thai ruby is not being shown. Very little production of Mogok Burma ruby in Thailand. Tanzanite is still a hot stone.
In April, a guerrilla ambush killed 31 government soldiers and wounded 15 others. The insurgents set off dynamite while a convoy of six trucks passed over a road near the trans-Andean pipeline. The attack occurred 560 miles southwest of Bogota. The 150 guerrillas also threw grenades at the convoy. In May, FARC killed 16 in Northern Colombia. The Colombian government issued a statement that the attacks were committed by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). FARC has robbed banks and extorted money from wealthy landowners. They have made millions in kidnapping ransoms. FARC guards cocaine plantations and supplies drug cartels with cocaine paste. FARC was founded in the 1960s to fight for the poor. They are the largest of Colombia guerrilla groups with an estimated 12,000 fighters. The guerrillas have intensified their urban activities. They have tried to impose three-day strikes by threatening to bomb buses, banks, stores, and administration offices. There is now a fear among city residents in Bogota. In Colombia the guerrillas, the paramilitary, the drug traffickers, and the military are all competing for political control of the country. There is a power vacuum due to the fact President Samper is under siege due to the growing scandal over campaign contributions from drug dealers. Five members of Samper's cabinet have resigned.
FARC is using the scandal to escalate operations and is demanding Samper's resignation. Drug dealers are using the disruption to consolidate new networks and reignite narcoterrorism. The military and paramilitary are using the state of emergency to spread more violence. There is no end in sight for this conflict. Do not look for any increased emerald supply during this crisis. Those clients of National Gemstone with special orders may have to wait longer. In the 25 + years we have been monitoring this country, Colombia has never been in such a precarious political position.
There are only a few tsavorite dealers left in Nairobi. Most have left for Tanzania, which produces a great deal more material. Most tsavorite discovered today is rough between .02 and 5 grams (5 grams equal one carat). The largest tsavorite recently discovered was a 15 carat piece of rough, that would cut into a 4-6 carat gem. Gangs continue to invade the mines and some supervisors have been killed. Many miners are also being attacked between the mines and Nairobi
The Tanzanian government has recently reopened the mines after a seven-week shutdown. The main mines that were closes were the Tundura, where corundum deposits were discovered last year. The government will no longer license foreign mining companies. Only Tanzanian nationals will be allowed to own mining rights. The new rules were designed to prevent excess gem production. Further, the closing time allowed the government to formulate regulations regarding the illegal mining and smuggling. The problem is very little of the rough deposits of tanzanite, corundum, or diamond is cut in Tanzania. The government believes 98% of gemstones found in Tanzania are smuggled out of the country. The failure to collect taxes on Tanzania's mineral wealth results in a poor infrastructure. Government officials want to build a gemstone industry within Tanzania's borders. The problem the Tanzanian government faces is how to regulate the gemstone industry without shutting off investment.
Burma/Thailand
Burma and Thailand have recently opened their borders for the first time since 1994. The Thai military were charging vehicles $200 to cross into Thailand from Burma. According to the new agreement, the borders will remain open for two years. After the two year trial, the borders will remain open unless either side petitions for the closing of the border. The soldiers and police on both sides can make more money if the borders are closed because of payoffs. Thai gem dealers feel they can buy Burma goods below the market when the border is closed because when smugglers enter Thailand clandestinely, they have a vested interest in selling quickly and recrossing before they are caught. Therefore, we should expect to see more Burma goods, but at a higher price. The Burmese government has struck a new business dealer with Kuhn Sa, the notorious drug smuggler. Kuhn Sa is wanted by the US Government for drug charges. Kuhn Sa surrendered to the Burmese Government in 1995. He was guaranteed by the Burmese Government that he would not be extradited to the US. In return, he disbanded his militia and handed over his strongholds to the Burmese Government. He now has set up legal enterprises in logging, gem production, and petroleum. Kuhn Sa is now a major force in the gem business. He has a gem cutting operation in Taunggyi, capital of the Shan State. Reports also indicate Kuhn Sa has resumed his involvement in smuggling drugs. He is allegedly building a heroin factory on the Mekong River, where it will be easy to smuggle gems and heroin to China.
Thailand/Cambodia
The rebel Khmer Rouge are fighting the Cambodian government forces. The Khmer Rouge currently control the Pailin area, 12 miles from Thailand. The Khmer Rouge finance their guerrilla activities from gem mining. The Thailand government is friendly to the Cambodian Government. The Khmer Rouge can no longer depend on the Thais to buy their ruby and sapphire. Numerous Thai gem dealers have been killed by the Khmer Rouge in Pailin. The Khmer Rouge now smuggles the goods to Thailand and sell the stones through anonymous surrogates. Although the Cambodian military continues to attack the Khmer Rouge, they are fierce guerrilla fighters. Do not expect any production from this area until the Khmer Rouge are defeated by the military.
Vietnam has recently announced the creation of the Vietnam National Gold and Gem Corporation to control the surveying, exploration, and extraction of gems in Vietnam. This state enterprise is to centralize the gem mining industry. New law guarantees that investors will retain the right to mine deposits they discover. Investors are required to process the gems domestically, help build the infrastructure, and restore the environment. Most mining until now has been done by State companies and profits have been non- existent. Although this sounds promising, Vietnam is in a state of national frenzy. Recently the government allowed the destruction of foreign videos, compact discs, magazines, and the destruction of foreign advertising signs. There are reports of foreign businesses being nationalized. Do not expect any gem production from this country.
Rare, Precious, Unique to Utah
Utah Salt Lake Tribune April 15, 1996
By Liz Peterson
Submitted by subscriber F.B. of Colorado.
DELTA- On Main Street in this central Utah town is a store few on lookers would guess contains a collection of one of the rarest and most expensive gemstones in the world. Housed in a former bank, Tina's Jewelry and Minerals contains a hodgepodge of gold and silver jewelry, engagements rings, jewelry-repair services, rock art and the only retail selection of red beryl jewelry in the United States. Proprietor and jewelry artisan Tina Nielson stores tray upon tray of red beryl gems - ranging in color from clear rose to magenta to blood red - in a safe in the store. Nearly 20 years ago, Nielson's uncle, a self-taught gem cutter, realized the potential value of crystals extracted from the Violet Claims in nearby Beaver County. His hunch proved right when gemologists determined the claims contain the only gem-quality red beryl in the world.
Red beryl is a million times rarer than its cousin green beryl - commonly known as emerald. At the Violet Claims, crystals are found in matrix formations dispersed throughout a volcanic rock called rhyolite. Golden Spike Gem and Mineral Society board member Erol Benson called red beryl one of the most remarkable materials to come out of Utah. Even though varieties have been found elsewhere, the Utah Wah Mountain Range mine is the only to produce crystal suitable for faceting - or cutting - and use in jewelry. According to Benson, a retired lawyer in minerals and mining, although Utah is rich in minerals, not many of those minerals are gemstones - the only others are sunstones and topaz, the state gem.
Since Tina's opening in 1985, rock and gem connoisseurs from around the world have visited to find out more about the rare stone. Nielson estimates at least 90 percent of the red beryl business is from outside the United States, including the top client, a jewelry salesmen from Japan. Like other precious gems, the cost of a faceted red beryl depends on its cut, clarity, color, and number of carats. Nielson and family members use emerald costs to price red beryl, charging $400-$20,000 per carat. Nielson recalls the family's first sale, an on-site purchase by a New York man who paid with a $225,000 check for an uncut crystal. When a Delta banker called chase Manhattan Bank in New York to verify sufficient funds, the banker was told, "His checks are always good."
Last spring at a Geneva, Switzerland auction, a 1.79 red beryl cut by Nielson fetched an advertised price of $15,000. Until recently, Nielson, who learned from her uncle to facet on red beryl, cut all of the stones in the store. Due to growing market demand, the stones are now sent to Sri Lanka, Colombia, and other countries experienced in cutting emeralds.
Nielson's family is one of 275 owners of active, small non-coal mines registered with the state of Utah's Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining. Twenty-one of the mines, like the Violet Claims, are registered by Millard County companies. "The entire western United States is mineral-rich, and Utah is no exception," said Bruce Tripp, a senior geologist for the Utah Geological Survey. "Utah is especially rich", he noted, "in mineral diversity."
According to Wayne Hedberg, a permit supervisor for Gas and Mining in the state, up to 450 small mine permits are on file at the state office, but many of those are inactive. "There are a number of families just like Nielsons that own small mines. Some make it big, but most have not," he said. "The desire to 'make it big' adds drama when Utah's 'mom and pop' operations are left to children who feud over how land should be divided or sold," said Tripp.
While Nielson's family has not yet encountered these exact difficulties, the gem business has not been without adversity. "One problem was trying to sell red beryl - the family had to literally create a market by attending trade shows and publicizing through trade magazines and other media," said Nielson. She calls her father the "PR guy." "Other gems have thousands of years of advertising. They are even mentioned in the Bible. We have to compete in the same market with all those stones," she said. And even though the stone's rarity adds to its value, it makes meeting a large market demand impossible - there is not enough product. Ten years ago, for example, the family had to to turn down New York - based Tiffany and Co. due to lack of supply. Nielson can recount several times when bigger, more "sophisticated" companies attempted to intimidate or take advantage of her family. "People come in and think because we are from a small town, we're stupid," she said. She attributes her family's survival in the business to integrity and stubbornness. "It is a lot harder to make a living in a small town. We do not have as much to take for granted. If you succeed in business, people know it is because of hard work," she said. She puts in 8 to twelve hours a day at her store to keep up with the demand of local jewelry customers as well as the red beryl market.
Her family is considering selling the mine. Utah mining giant Kennecott is drilling core samples in the area with the option to purchase. Ken Hecker, director of planning and business operations at Kennecott, said the decision whether or not to buy the Violet claims will likely be made by next spring. Hecker said Kennecott has been exploring gemstone mines only the past five years and is also exploring a diamond mine in Canada.

State BJP spokesperson Anil Gupta told reporters that people did not take Abdullah seriously anymore, but he continued to issue statements hoping that the sinking boat of his dynastic party might find some sympathisers willing to take it ashore.
Jammu: The BJP hit out at the National Conference chief, Farooq Abdullah, claiming he had no moral authority to accuse it of "divisive politics" as his party was the harbinger of communal and divisive politics in Jammu and Kashmir.
"The NC has no moral authority to accuse the BJP of divisive politics since the NC, under his father Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, was the harbinger of communal and divisive politics in Jammu and Kashmir which was being pursued by his heirs assiduously," he said.
Abdullah had Thursday charged the BJP with divisive politics in the country and asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to be tolerant. He had also accused the BJP of "mastering communal divide".
The BJP leader said from the "Quit Kashmir" movement to the demand for "greater autonomy", every move of the NC had been communal and divisive.
"The carving of Muslim majority districts of Doda and Kargil, division of Jammu region into Chenab Valley and Pir Panjal region on communal lines, changing names of towns, villages and historical monuments, demographic invasion of Jammu, expulsion of Kashmiri Pandits, Roshni Act, neglect of Sufism, resettlement act and permanent residents bill were some examples of the divisive mindset of the NC and Abdullahs," Gupta claimed.
Reacting sharply to Abdullah's remarks, Gupta said, "If protection of the majority's interests is divisive according to Farooq, then what would he term the NC-Congress votebank politics which is based on playing Hindus and Muslims against each other?"
He said the BJP's policy was justice for all and appeasement for none. "It doesn't discriminate on the basis of religion, region or caste. The Narendra Modi government at the Centre is committed to equitable development of all," the BJP leader said.
Gupta claimed Abdullah had launched a tirade against the BJP because the Modi government had ignored the family to an extent that they were engulfed with frustration and desperation.
"The ever declining voteshare coupled with Kashmiri youth's abhorrence for his party and the rising graph of the BJP has shaken Abdullah so much that his statements often are irrational and illogical," he claimed.
"Another example of NC's divisive politics is the demand for greater autonomy which has divided the state communally and regionally as well. The demand was opposed tooth and nail by the BJP, Congress and NPP.
"The people of Jammu and Ladakh are opposed to any sort of autonomy and favour total integration of state with the Indian Union," Gupta claimed.
He also attacked Abdullah for terming BJP leaders robbers, and reminded him that he was one of the main accused in Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association scam.
"The demand for revealing the source of huge wealth amassed by him and his son is also growing louder and the Abdullahs need to disclose from where these have been robbed? The people are intelligent enough to know as to who is daaku number one (robber number one)," he claimed.

Celebrate Black History Month at Toronto's Black Diamond Ball

With Black History Month in full swing, you might be wondering how this year's celebrations will wrap up. Well, Toronto plans to go out with a bang, with the 5th annual Black Diamond Ball happening on February 29, 2020 at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel.
Billed as "The most exclusive event for Black History Month," the Black Diamond Ball is produced by ArtXperiential Projects, a not-for-profit organization with the mission to support emerging and established artists across various media. Shawn Cuffie, ArtXperiential's VP of Operations, explained the event's altruistic aim. "It's important that people know that the Ball is a fundraiser for youth initiatives. If everyone in the room gave $10, we would raise over $10k. This year we are supporting OCAD University's Black Youth Design Initiative through the 100 x 100 Black Sparks Movement , which brings awareness and support to Black youth in design and the arts."

With the drive to do good, the Ball does it all in style, highlighting the best on Black excellence. Past headlining musical acts include Brandy and Keri Hilson, and this year continues that trend — but with a twist. "2020 will have our first male performer Tank," shared Cuffie. "We are also offering dinner for VIP and corporate guests for the first time. It will be a memorable experience with fashion and music, and we're bringing back a spectacular drumming group out of Montreal who performed at the very first Ball."

And just how has the Ball evolved from its first event in 2016? Cuffie gave us the details. "The Black Diamond Ball hosted 500 people in 2016 at Toronto's Design Exchange, and now we host 1,000 people at the Fairmont Royal York, growing each year from 2017 -2019. We have gone from two major sponsors in our first two years to 10 sponsors currently, and we now have more activations for 2020 including a gifting lounge, TD photo activation and some other great surprises." The Ball's presenting sponsor is TD, with Rogers Communication as the new media partner for 2020.
Per Cuffie, the Ball was borne out of the desire to have an event where Black communities could celebrate arts and culture. "As a young choreographer, I would go to many shows and had a vision of creating an event for my community that would rival those. I felt that the Black community needed that go-to event where we can celebrate arts and culture. I did not have a place like this, so I created it. Glammed up and star-studded, the community at large now has a place where we all come together to celebrate our culture in the most exciting and positive light."
The Ball has succeeded in that mission over the past five years, becoming one of the most popular events for Black History Month in the GTA — though guests travel from far and wide to attend. Celebrities, influencers, politicians and community members all snag their tickets for the black-tie event every year, which brings together a variety of elements to create a unique experience. "Some people are still trying to figure out the Ball — is it an awards show, is it a concert, is it a party? I say it's all of that and more! It's a meeting place of positive messaging, family, friends, in a celebratory arena and a place to feel honoured. It's whatever you want it to be as long as it's safe and positive," said Cuffie.

This year includes everything from a VIP dinner and luxe gifting lounge to engaging activations and performances, with an incredible after-party planned to keep the good vibes going late into the night. Tickets start at $105 and can be purchased here .
When asked what it means to create an event of this calibre for a Canadian Black History Month celebration, Cuffie is clear. "It means we as a people can see that when we come together and work smart, how elevated we become. It means we can celebrate the great things we have accomplished and show how supportive and loving the community at large can be, as we spread the message of being in safe spaces."
Safety, style, community, and culture — the Black Diamond Ball offers all this and more. The event organizers are ready for another fabulous year of celebrating and highlighting Black excellence in Canada, and they hope you are, too.

ND coach Brian Kelly 'bothered' by amount of Texas fans
campussportswriter | Sep 6, 2015 12:40 pm
Notre Dame Fighting Irish head football coach Brian Kelly was successful in leading his team to a 38-3 thrashing of the Texas Longhorns in last night's season opener, but he was not 100 percent satisfied.
Why? Well, speaking to reporters after the game, including Mike Vorel of the South Bend Tribune, Kelly stated that he was not amused by the amount of Longhorns burnt orange he saw in the stands at Notre Dame Stadium.
Kelly, on whether all the burnt orange in the stadium bothered him: "A little bit, quite honestly."
— Mike Vorel (@mikevorel) September 6, 2015
An estimated 10,000 #Texas #Longhorns fans are in #NotreDame Stadium tonight. A lot of burnt orange in the building. pic.twitter.com/sWgIrQ4LY7
— Chip Brown (@ChipBrown247) September 5, 2015
Look, I get it. If I'm a head coach and my team's season opener is at home, I'd definitely want more home fans than ones from the road in the seats. But at the same time, Kelly's annoyance is a bit out of place.
Consider this. Notre Dame's current student population, both undergraduate and graduate, is just over 12,000. That of Texas, on the other hand, is near 40,000, and that's just undergraduates. On top of that, think of how many Texas fans there are nationwide, especially in the South Bend area. Keep in mind that South Bend is just 96 miles outside of Chicago, an hour's drive from Gary, and just a few hours away from Indianapolis.
That all being said, one has to consider that in all four of those cities, there have to be at least some Texas alums who are willing to make the drive to the stadium for the rare chance to see their team live.
So while Brian Kelly may be annoyed that his team's season opener was overrun by Longhorns fans, he should shake it off and realize that it's not necessarily something he can control, and also take solace that the rest of his team's home games will likely be overrun by home fans. On top of that, he's getting bent out of shape over approximately 10,000 seats of a stadium that seats over 80,000, so Notre Dame fans were still a strong majority at the game.
Notre Dame's next test comes against the Virginia Cavaliers in Charlottesville on the 12th.

Twitter Broke Nigeria's Terms of Service
Say what you will about Nigeria, but at least it has enough sense to know when it's being taken for a ride by someone to whom it doesn't have to answer.
By Peter D'Abrosca
The shoe is officially on the other foot.
Jack Dorsey and the Twitter safety brigade overstepped their authority by deleting a tweet from Nigeria's president, claiming that it broke the platform's rules against "abusive behavior."
So, in one of the greatest "who the hell do you think you are?" moments in recent memory, Nigeria's president banned Twitter from his country forever. Or, as Twitter would put it to make things sound a bit less Stalinesque, Nigeria "permanently suspended" Twitter.
Twitter is unhappy.
"We are deeply concerned by the blocking of Twitter in Nigeria," the company said. "Access to a free and #OpenInternet is an essential human right in modern society."
That's a strange way for Twitter to admit that it has stripped Donald Trump and countless other American conservatives of their human rights, but the company is run by leftists, so I can't say I'm surprised. It's not simply that the Left are unconcerned with their own blatant hypocrisy. They revel in it.
"We will work to restore access for all those in Nigeria who rely on Twitter to communicate and connect with the world," the statement finished.
Working to "restore access" to a microblogging site in Nigeria is a euphemism for what the company is actually doing—subverting the laws of a sovereign nation.
If access can't be restored, I suppose Jack Dorsey will just have to build his own Nigeria.
Twitter's chutzpah in dealing with the Nigerians speaks volumes about how it views itself on the global stage.
Openly attacking a nation's head of state shows that Jack Dorsey views himself as the kingmaker of communications—not just in the United States, but worldwide. Jack Dorsey gets to decide who says what, and when, in the modern-day public square. That's a hell of an ego for a grown man who wears a nose ring.
Meddling in the affairs of a sovereign nation is no small deal. It's the type of provocation that, if carried out by another country against Nigeria, could be considered an attack on Nigeria's sovereignty, or even a declaration of war.
But it also appears to be a fantastic litmus test for public corruption.
If Dorsey is pushing you around, you are either weak, compromised, or both. (In the case of our Republican Party, it's both).
For example, Twitter is also banned in China. With the exception of a few high-ranking Chinese Communist Party leaders and state propaganda outlets, nobody in the country of more than 1 billion people can use it. In other words, Nigeria and China now share the same position on Twitter.
But you won't catch Jack Dorsey taking swipes at Chinese President Xi Jinping. He'll never vow to allow access to his platform to Chinese citizens. He would be barking up the wrong tree. China is a serious country with a serious government that fiercely protects itself from foreign influence by the likes of Dorsey. China is indeed an authoritarian country, and it may be a bad place to live. But it doesn't answer to international corporations, because international corporations might not have China's best interest in mind.
In countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, both American allies, Twitter is heavily restricted. Those countries are also serious about enforcing their own laws and protecting their own sovereignty. They, like China, are not particularly agreeable places for politicians to engage in backdoor deals. Their governments, which have strict rules against libel and blasphemy, have the ability to control access to the site. They prosecute people who use the site to break their laws. Jack Dorsey doesn't advocate an #OpenInternet in those countries. In fact, rather richly, Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal reportedly owns more of Twitter than Dorsey himself.
Compare that to the United States, which (allegedly) has laws too. I'm not saying that China, or Saudi Arabia, or the United Arab Emirates are better places to live than the United States. In fact, our laws, as opposed to those of the aforementioned repressive regimes, let us express ourselves freely, almost without restriction.
But the United States is also a deeply corrupt country. Our leaders do not care about our laws—not even the First Amendment, perhaps our most precious law. In America, the people in charge can't stand up to Jack Dorsey because he runs the show here. A great many politicians are beholden to him. He has bought and paid for them twice over. He has bribed them into submission under the guise of "lobbying" and PAC contributions to their election campaigns.
Nigeria, a Third World country, is actually less corrupted by the influence of Big Tech than the United States.
Because of this, Dorsey gets to decide whether you're allowed to participate in public debate in America. Hell, he can ban the president of the United States, and half of our lawmakers will cheer him on. Two-thirds of the other half won't even openly object.
"Conservative leaders" will bend to Dorsey's will, too, because he's organized his authoritarian regime as a corporation. While he declares war on the First Amendment, and by extension America's very way of life, David French and his has-been NeverTrump friends make excuses, offering platitudes about the rights of private companies, and lecturing that somehow, we're all going to be forced to bake wedding cakes for gay couples if we force Dorsey to knock off the censorship.
And at least its leaders have more pride than America's limp-wristed GOP.

Q: Easier way to add tiles to a JFrame I am adding some tiles to my JFrame for my terrain generator, and it looks like this:
        for (double[] row : Terrain.tileData) {
        for (double d : row) {
            if (d >= 10000D) {
                add(new Tile(0, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 9500D) {
                add(new Tile(1, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 9000D) {
                add(new Tile(2, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 8500D) {
                add(new Tile(3, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 8000D) {
                add(new Tile(4, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 7500D) {
                add(new Tile(5, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 7000D) {
                add(new Tile(6, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 6500D) {
                add(new Tile(7, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 6000D) {
                add(new Tile(8, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 5500D) {
                add(new Tile(9, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 5000D) {
                add(new Tile(10, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 4500D) {
                add(new Tile(11, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 4000D) {
                add(new Tile(12, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 3500D) {
                add(new Tile(13, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 3000D) {
                add(new Tile(14, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 2500D) {
                add(new Tile(15, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 2000D) {
                add(new Tile(16, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 1500D) {
                add(new Tile(17, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 1000D) {
                add(new Tile(18, tileSize));
            } else if (d >= 500D) {
                add(new Tile(19, tileSize));
            } else {
                add(new Tile(20, tileSize));
            }
        }
    }

and my tile class looks like this:
    public Tile(int color, int tileSize) {
    setVisible(true);
    setOpaque(true);
    setPreferredSize(new Dimension(tileSize, tileSize));
    if (color == 0) {
        setBackground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
    } else if (color == 1) {
        setBackground(new Color(138, 132, 125));
    } else if (color == 2) {
        setBackground(new Color(105, 100, 94));
    } else if (color == 3) {
        setBackground(new Color(77, 71, 64));
    } else if (color == 4) {
        setBackground(new Color(36, 32, 27));
    } else if (color == 5) {
        setBackground(new Color(69, 53, 42));
    } else if (color == 6) {
        setBackground(new Color(82, 48, 4));
    } else if (color == 7) {
        setBackground(new Color(17, 82, 4));
    } else if (color == 8) {
        setBackground(new Color(24, 115, 6));
    } else if (color == 9) {
        setBackground(new Color(56, 143, 39));
    } else if (color == 10) {
        setBackground(new Color(51, 156, 30));
    } else if (color == 11) {
        setBackground(new Color(29, 156, 3));
    } else if (color == 12) {
        setBackground(new Color(37, 201, 4));
    } else if (color == 13) {
        setBackground(new Color(67, 237, 33));
    } else if (color == 14) {
        setBackground(new Color(87, 85, 0));
    } else if (color == 15) {
        setBackground(new Color(176, 141, 2));
    } else if (color == 16) {
        setBackground(new Color(232, 195, 39));
    } else if (color == 17) {
        setBackground(new Color(224, 200, 101));
    } else if (color == 18) {
        setBackground(new Color(79, 67, 222));
    } else if (color == 19) {
        setBackground(new Color(36, 18, 227));
    } else if (color == 20) {
        setBackground(new Color(15, 0, 179));
    }
}

Is there an easier way to do this? Also, is there a way to allow this to pack() faster?

A: For the tilegeneration:
for(double d : row){
    înt v = 20 - d / 500;
    if(v < 0)
        v = 0;

    add(new Tile(v , tileSize));
}

Store the colors in an array and read them like this:
Color[] colors = new Color[]{}
setBackgroundColor(colors[color]);
