AFTER AUSCHWITZ Opening this Friday, May 4
By Following Films May 01, 2018
In After Auschwitz, filmmaker Jon Kean examines the question, "What happens after surviving an unspeakable horror?" with six stories of remarkable women who survived the Holocaust and went on to build lives in the United States, but never truly found a place to call home. For survivors of the Holocaust, liberation was both an incredible moment and a devastating one. It marked the beginning of a life-long struggle. Most wanted to go home, but there was no home left in devastated post-war Europe. Many came to America and wanted to tell people about their experiences, but were silenced. "You're in America now, put it behind you" is what they were told. The women Kean follows became mothers and wives with successful careers, but never fully healed from the scars of the past.
Their stories show the indelible role immigrants and women played in the history of America during the second half of the 20th century, and they serve as our guides on an unbelievable journey - sometimes celebratory, sometimes heart-breaking, but always inspiring.
After Auschwitz is written, produced and directed by Jon Kean (Kill The Man; Swimming in Auschwitz) and executive produced by Oscar and Emmy-winning Michael Berenbaum (One Survivor Remembers; The Desperate Hours). David Charles and Marilyn Harran serve as co-producers.

Q: How to display the label name in the dynamic table by using wrapper class in lightning component I have been given a task to make query builder which will make query and fetch data accordingly . So I have completed it but while displaying the table I am not able to display the label name as heading . I am getting api name as table heading . So can anyone please suggest m the edits in my code.
Here is the code
Apex controller:
public class FinalQueryBuilderApex {
  @AuraEnabled
   public static List<String> getObjectName(){
        List<String> objects=new List<String>();
       List<Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().Values();
        for(SObjectType sot:gd){
           objects.add(sot.getDescribe().getName());
        }
       System.debug('objects'+objects);
        return objects;
    }
    @AuraEnabled
    public static List<String> listAllObject(){
        List<String> objectList = new List<String>();
        For(Schema.sObjectType sobj: schema.getGlobalDescribe().values()){
            if(sobj.getDescribe().isQueryable())
                objectList.add(sobj.getDescribe().getName()+'####'+sobj.getDescribe().getLabel());
        }
        objectList.sort();
        System.debug('objectList'+objectList);
        return objectList;
    }

  @AuraEnabled
public static Map<String, String> getObjectFields(String objName) {
    Map<String, String> retVal = new Map<String, String>();
    Map<String, Schema.SObjectField> fieldMap = Schema.getGlobalDescribe().get(objName).getDescribe().fields.getMap();
    for (String fieldName: fieldMap.keySet()) {
        retVal.put(fieldMap.get(fieldName).getDescribe().getName(), fieldMap.get(fieldName).getDescribe().getLabel());
    }
     System.debug('retVal'+retVal);
    return retVal;

}

Please help me out . Any suggestions are welcome.

A: Problem is, You are injecting API name in line below:
for (var i=0; i <  fieldList.length; i++) {
      sObjectDataTableHeader.push(fieldList[i]);
  }

You need to get the options which you got earlier for dualListbox and get the label through the API name as below: (add below lines in onHandleChange method near line comment // Create table Header)
    // get labels against api names
    let selectedFieldsApiToLabelMap = component.get("v.options").reduce(function(accumulator, currentOption) {
        accumulator[currentOption.value] = currentOption.label;
        return accumulator;
    }, {});

    // Create table Header
    for (var i=0; i <  fieldList.length; i++) {
        sObjectDataTableHeader.push(selectedFieldsApiToLabelMap[fieldList[i]]);
    }
    console.log(sObjectDataTableHeader);

A new rapid molecular test has shown the ability to detect, with reasonable certainty, mutations associated with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), an international team of researchers reported today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable drugs are the backbone of treatment regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and resistance to these drugs defines extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. Yingda L et al. assessed the accuracy of an automated, cartridge-based molecular assay for the detection, directly from sputum specimens, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with resistance to fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides, and isoniazid.
The researchers conducted a prospective diagnostic accuracy study to compare the investigational assay against phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing and DNA sequencing among adults in China and South Korea who had symptoms of tuberculosis. The Xpert MTB/RIF assay and sputum culture were performed. M. tuberculosis isolates underwent phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing and DNA sequencing of the genes katG, gyrA, gyrB, and rrs and of the eis and inhA promoter regions.
It was found that among the 308 participants who were culture-positive for M. tuberculosis, when phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing was used as the reference standard, the sensitivities of the investigational assay for detecting resistance were 83.3% for isoniazid (95% confidence interval [CI], 77.1 to 88.5), 88.4% for ofloxacin (95% CI, 80.2 to 94.1), 87.6% for moxifloxacin at a critical concentration of 0.5 μg per milliliter (95% CI, 79.0 to 93.7), 96.2% for moxifloxacin at a critical concentration of 2.0 μg per milliliter (95% CI, 87.0 to 99.5), 71.4% for kanamycin (95% CI, 56.7 to 83.4), and 70.7% for amikacin (95% CI, 54.5 to 83.9). The specificity of the assay for the detection of phenotypic resistance was 94.3% or greater for all drugs except moxifloxacin at a critical concentration of 2.0 μg per milliliter (specificity, 84.0% [95% CI, 78.9 to 88.3]). When DNA sequencing was used as the reference standard, the sensitivities of the investigational assay for detecting mutations associated with resistance were 98.1% for isoniazid (95% CI, 94.4 to 99.6), 95.8% for fluoroquinolones (95% CI, 89.6 to 98.8), 92.7% for kanamycin (95% CI, 80.1 to 98.5), and 96.8% for amikacin (95% CI, 83.3 to 99.9), and the specificity for all drugs was 99.6% (95% CI, 97.9 to 100) or greater.
According to WHO estimates, there were 480,000 new cases of MDR-TB in 2015, and a recent report in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine estimated a mortality rate of around 40% for MDR-TB patients.

This thesis attempts to ascertain whether Upton Sinclair's Democratic nomination for governor of California in 1934 caused the resurgence of the Democratic Party in California, or whether his nomination was a product of that party's resurgence between 1928 and 1942. Given Sinclair's decision on the unsuitability of the Socialist Party, were his judgments that: (1) the Democratic Party was in resurgence and, (2) it was moving to the left, sound ones? To make these determinations the thesis investigates why Sinclair rushed to capture the Democratic nomination, exploring his methods and techniques and those used to defeat him. It also examines the reactions of the Democratic Party leaders of the right and left wings toward the Sinclair candidacy, and analyzes the primary and general.election returns -- citing differences and similarities between Northern and Southern California -- which predicate that Sinclair's decision was: (I) based on faulty judgement, and (2) based on an inaccurate appraisal of the position of the Democratic Party.

People accustomed to using their devices in the evenings should know their night time habit might be seriously affecting their health.
A new study conducted by the University of Glasgow, in the largest study or its kind, has found that late night technology use can increase your chances of developing mood disorders because of the disruption to your body clock.
The study found that avoiding screen time before getting to sleep will reduce your chances of mood instability, the feeling of loneliness, unhappiness, health dissatisfaction and poor cognitive function.
It is one thing to be up late watching ten episodes of your favourite TV show in a row, but if you really want to turn up the toxicity, try doing work on your devices just before bed.
In my experience counselling in the workplace for many years, these late-night workers can be anyone in the managerial food chain, from top exec to your run of the mill employee.
If you recognise yourself in this study, it is time to take steps to look after yourself and your mental health. In the least, turn down the toxicity and avoid doing work just before bed.
What if you are a small business owner?
The principle holds true even for the busy small business owner who might have taken up a habit of balancing the books before bed.
It is true that small business owners have to do the odd-jobs and be self-motivated but that also includes knowing when to say no to work for the sake of improving your overall productivity.
Many people will know the example of the man who furiously cuts down a tree with a blunt axe. By making sure that your axe (you) are sharp will serve you better in the long run.
Downgrade your technology. Dust off your old school alarm clock and buy some triple A batteries.
Second, charge your phone in another room overnight. If you find it difficult, you will realise just how much screen time you have been getting.

Largest Milk Dairy in the Hawaiian Kingdom
The east side of upper Manoa (and a roadway through it) is known today as "Woodlawn." It's named for the Woodlawn Dairy and Stock Company. It became the largest milk dairy in the Hawaiian Kingdom.
"This Dairy commenced business in June, 1879, under the name of "Woodlawn Dairy," with stock consisting of ten native cows." (Hawaiian Planters Monthly Advertisement)
"Mr (BF) Dillingham's beautiful residence, 'Woodlawn,' at Punahou, about a mile and a half from town, (is) where the dairy was originally started. Here there is about 350 acres controlled by the company, including land in Mānoa Valley …"
"… and on this pasturage there is a herd of about 450 head of cattle, including Short horns, Durhams, Devon, Ayreshires, Holsteins and Jerseys." (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, April 15, 1885)
"With the steady growth of the business, special regard has been paid to the importation of the best Dairy Stock. In the early part of 1883, a "Short Horn" Bull was imported from California, known on the Record as the '19th Duke of Manchester.'" (Hawaiian Planters Monthly Advertisement)
Later, a newspaper announcement noted: "Lost, Strayed or Stolen. "The 19th Duke of Manchester," a larger red shorthorn Bull, property of the Woodlawn Dairy & Stock Co., anyone finding this Bull and returning same to said Company will be suitably rewarded. Woodlawn Dairy & Stock Co." (Daily Bulletin, June 1, 1885)
"In 1884, the Thorough Bred Short Horn "Duke of the Valley" was purchased at $400; the animal was then 15 months old. In the spring of 1886 two thorough bred Holsteins were imported by the Company, from Syracuse, New York."
"These animals were sent out to California by rail, thence by sail to Honolulu. These are probably the finest bred animals for beef and milk combined, ever landed on these Islands."
"One of these bulls now in use at this Dairy weighed 1400 pounds when two years old, and about 1800 at 30 months."
"A few Holstein Cows and Heifers have been added to this stock, one Heifer from Syracuse cost $450 there. One Holstein Heifer raised here, came in with her first calf last spring, her age being about 30 months, and gave, for nearly three months, 16 quarts of milk per day. Several other heifers raised at this Dairy have given from 12 to 15 quarts per day."
"The Manager Mr. John Grace recently returned from a trip to California where he purchased with great care from the best dairy farms in that State, including the well-known Jersey farm of Mr. Maillard, 63 head of graded and thorough bred Jersey Cows and Heifers and one thorough bred Jersey Bull."
"Any one desiring to improve their stock Cannot Do Better than to apply to the Woodlawn Dairy and Stock Company for some of their superior young Bulls, raised in this country from as fine dairy stock as can be found anywhere." (Hawaiian Planters Monthly Advertisement)
"Visitors to the Pali, at the head of Nuʻuanu Valley, always notice the range of stables on the right of the road going up, at an elevation of about 700 feet above the sea, and upon inquiry are told that they are the property of the Woodlawn Dairy and Stock Company, who here own nearly 250 acres of fine valley and side-hill land."
"This locality is what was long known as the 'Wood's plantation,' where Mr. John Wood carried on for a number of years the cultivation of sugar cane and the manufacture of sugar." (The Nuʻuanu section was later called Highland Park.)
"Mr Dillingham purchased the property from Mr. Wood, and shortly after the Woodlawn Company was incorporated, and now the establishment is run on an extensive scale, with Mr. Graham as manager."
"This will be understood from the fact that the dairy has grown in the past five years from a beginning of ten cows, with an output of 600 quarts a month, to 150 cows in milk, with an output of 30,000 quarts per month."
"Adjoining the old Wood residence there has been erected a substantial and convenient dwelling, which is under the care of Mrs. Grace, the wife of the sub-manager, John Grace, who constructed the new buildings, stables, etc., and now superintends that branch of the ranch." (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, April 15, 1885)
"There are six men employed as milkers, each one taking a 'string,' as it is called, of twenty-five cows. When a milker is ready be opens the half door leading to his particular division of the milking platform, and calls the cows by name to come in to their breakfast or supper, as the case may be."
"They walk forward in an orderly, methodical manner, and each one, going to her own place, is locked in by the pair of bars previously described, which confine her loosely by the neck. Until 7 o'clock the whole of the herd, averaging 150 in number, quietly enjoy their generous feed and then are milked."
"Commencing at one end of his 'string,' the milker finishes with each cow in succession, releasing the one milked as soon as the operation is completed. She quietly walks out to the pasture again, where she generally enjoys a short nap ere resuming grazing."
"Thus the milker never has a cow behind him while at work, and when his 'string' is finished the stable is empty and ready to be washed out."
"From the milking stable the milk is carried into an adjoining room, where it is poured through strainers made of fine wire gauze and thick white flannel into the clean cans in which it is carried to the company's customers." (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, April 15, 1885)
Later, noted developer Charles Desky was identified as the 'sole agent' for lots in this 'Fashionable Section of Honolulu.' "This estate, Woodlawn, covering five hundred acres of the (Mānoa) valley and sloping up to the mountain top …"
"… is being improved by the construction of miles of automobile roads that on a gentle grade ascend the mountain side, giving great plateaus here and there with unmolested views of city, sea and mountains; ideal homesites, the views from which can never be obstructed." "These ideal homesites may be had from $750.00 an acre up." (Mid-Pacific Magazine, 1911)
Then, in 1920, Central Union Church's then-pastor, Dr. Albert Palmer, chose a desirable 8.3-acre site at Punahou and Beretania streets for the site for the relocated church. The site was "Woodlawn," for years the residence and dairy farm of prominent businessman BF Dillingham and his family.
Mrs. Emma Louise Dillingham, by then a widow, agreed to sell – she had been a member since Bethel Union days. In 1922, the cornerstone was laid, and the present sanctuary, designed in traditional New England style, was completed in 1924. Central Union Church, also known as the "Church in a Garden", moved to its present location on Beretania Street.

Remond Grove
BF (Frank) Dillingham's OR&L company, created in 1889, changed the landscape of west Honolulu. The first section of track extended only as far as Aiea. (Burlingame)
In the beginning, since there were as yet no real destinations along the line, Dillingham created the concept of picnicking along Pearl Harbor, and within days of the line's opening began marketing excursions.
These excursions had several purposes: they helped train the employees—from the on-board crews of engineers, firemen, conductors and brakemen to those on the ground like ticket agents and mechanics …
… they also built up an excitement among the public that the railroad was a reality; and most importantly perhaps, they brought in at least some income.
Some excursions included boat rides, others picnics and dancing, where people could be entertained with piano, banjo, trumpet, and saxophone performances. Community groups were encouraged to plan picnics and parties there, the larger the better. (Next Stop)
"A few years ago, when a party of a dozen or more gentlemen made a circuit of Oahu, and inspected the lands proposed to be bonded and made available for the purposes of settlement and public use, they were facetiously called the 'colonization party' by the wags of Honolulu, who stood upon the street corners and wished the party a sarcastic good-bye." (Daily Bulletin, November 27, 1890)
He held a contest that gave to Mānana the new name 'Pearl City,' and on its main thoroughfare, Lehua Road, he promoted a dance pavilion named Remond Grove. (de Silva, ksbe)
"The then manager of the development scheme took all jokes good-naturedly. He had faith in the scheme which the public had not. His faith proves now to have been founded in reason; if faith, followed by good works, as exemplified at Pearl City and along the line of the Oahu Railway, are to count for anything."
"The development of this scheme, the largest individual enterprise ever set afloat in Hawaii, barring Col. Spreckel's steamship lines and mammoth plantation, has grown so gradually but steadily amongst us that many people as yet hardly realize the sacrifices which have been made …"
"… and the work that has been done by the management of the Oahu Railway and Land enterprises to develop the resources of Oahu, by bringing the large Pearl City tract into quick communication with the Honolulu market …"
"… and making it available to the better classes of Honolulu's business and professional people, who desire to live in the country within reach of town." (Daily Bulletin, November 27, 1890)
"The new town lies just beyond Remond Grove. It marks the beginning of a suburban city within twelve and a half miles, or thirty
minutes' run of Honolulu. The new town is laid out to the best advantage and covers a series of splendid building terraces which arise from the depot to the branch reservoir 100 feet above the sea level and within half a mile of the station."
"The lots offered for sale are mostly situated upon graded streets and are ready for building upon. The soil is a rich, red loam in which will flourish cither trees, or vegetables, or flowers."
"The main avenues of Pearl City are Lehua, Maile and Woodlawn, laid not in the order named. The cross streets are numbered from First to Tenth. The avenues are each eighty feet wide and the cross streets are sixty feet each. (Daily Bulletin, November 27, 1890)
The pavilion at Remond Grove has for some time been one of the attractions. It was built for the use of picnickers and dancing parties by the railroad company.
It is seventy feet square, open on all sides, and is lighted by electricity. Surrounding it is a well-kept lawn, with a playing fountain in front, and provided with swings, croquet games, etc.
During an evening fete at the pavilion it is brilliantly lighted, and gorgeously decorated, presenting an animated spectacle. (Next Stop)
To further expand the number of passengers on his train, in 1890, Dillingham carved up the Mānana peninsula to create O'ahu's first major housing development.
His railroad ran regular tours to Remond Grove, and according to his advertising, it was "always at the disposal of Pleasure Parties." (de Silva, ksbe)
The Remond Grove grounds are beautifully laid out with flowers and shrubbery. The large dancing pavilion had a capacity for 1,000 people; it was located in the center of the Grove, both grounds and pavilion being lighted throughout with electricity.
During the Spanish-American War, Army Engineers established Camp Langfitt at Pearl City and was occupied from September 27 to October 19, 1898. It was named after Major William Campbell Langfitt, commanding officer of the battalion of the 2nd Engineers.
The troops camped inside the large dance pavilion. Remond Grove was south of Kamehameha Highway, east of Lehua Avenue and primarily north of the H-1 freeway (at the present Hale Mohalu Site.) (Greguras)

Train Terminal, Depot
Benjamin Franklin (Frank) Dillingham's OR&L company, created in 1889, changed the landscape of west Honolulu. Its first train depot was created between a fishpond and North King Street, next to Prison Road, later renamed Iwilei Road.
The first section of track extended only as far as Aiea, but by the 1920s, tracks had been laid all over the island. The train was the primary mode of transportation. (Burlingame)
"Among the most important works now in progress of rapid construction, is the Oahu Railway to Pearl Harbor, which is already approaching completion, so far as grading is concerned."
"Eleven miles of this line will have the grading completed in two weeks; and of this length ten miles are already finished. The material for the bridges is already on the ground, and the work of driving the piles has been begun at the larger estuaries of Kalihi and Moanalua."
"A few of the bridges on this line will be of considerable length; but, with the present energy being displayed only a short time will elapse before the gaps in the line will all disappear."
"Many of the smaller bridges and culverts have been already built. There will be altogether twenty bridges between Honolulu and Ewa, of various lengths—from 16 to 300 feet, with an aggregate length of 1250 feet."
"Plans have been approved by which the main depot will be placed 180 feet from King street in what is now a fish-pond dividing Oahu prison from the royal stables."
"A large portion, if not all of this extensive fish-pond will be filled in without delay, and this substantial and eligible building ground, artificially firmed, will become of great value by close proximity to the main depot buildings."
"The depot itself will be of imposing size and made as ornamental in appearance as convenience and traffic requirements will allow. The grading of the whole division of this line, twelve miles, will be completed within the next month; and the laying of the rails will commence immediately upon their arrival by the bank Deutschland now nearly due from Germany."
"The progress of this important work has been so rapid during the month of July that we give it first place among works in progress. (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, July 27, 1889)
The inauguration of the OR&L rail service was November 16, 1889. (LOC)Eventually, the railroad ran west out of Honolulu to Waianae, around Kaena Point and on to Kahuku, and is significant in the development of the sugar industry on the island of Oahu.
As a result of the development of this rail line the lands of western and northern Oahu were able to be opened for the cultivation of sugar, with plantations started at Ewa, Waipahu, Waianae, Waialua, Kahuku and other areas. Besides freight, the OR&L also provided plantation workers with easy access to Honolulu. (NPS)
In 1924-1925, a new Depot was constructed to replace an earlier 1889 wooden terminal building, and was the main Honolulu rail terminal for OR&L's passenger operations.
The building was designed by local architect Guy N. Rothwell. The contract to erect the terminal was officially given to the Hawaiian Contracting Company (a company that was owned by the Dillingham family), though much of the work was performed by OR&L's in-house construction crews.
Upon completion, the building had dual functions, with the 2nd floor providing offices for the company's daily railroad operations, and the 1st floor accommodating passengers. The 1st floor layout included a porte-cochere, a ticket office and lobby with a restaurant and bar, as well as a news stand.
The offices upstairs were occupied by OR&L's president, general manager, superintendent and treasurer, as well as the station's dispatcher.
Both floors also included spacious restrooms for travelers and employees. As soon as the building was completed, an extension was constructed on the north side, to accommodate the company's growing freight department.
The railroad prospered until the 1930s when the advent of improved roadways led to its decline. The railway continued in operation through World War II, but in 1947 all operations outside of Honolulu were abandoned. (NPS)
The company continued to use Depot building as a terminal well after rail passenger operations ceased at the end of 1947. The property was acquired by the State of Hawaii in 1961. After OR&L moved off the premises eighteen months later the building was used as office space.
A 1975 renovation completely reconfigured the interior of the building for office use, and an elevator and expanded stairwell were added at an unknown date. Various state organizations have occupied the offices, with the current users being the Division of Accounting and General Services, Department of Human Services in the terminal building. (HABS)

Benjamin Franklin Dillingham
Benjamin Franklin (Frank) Dillingham was the son of Benjamin Clark Dillingham, a shipmaster, and Lydia Sears (Hows) Dillingham, born on September 4, 1844 in West Brewster, Massachusetts.
He left school at 14 and shipped on his uncle's vessel for a voyage around the Horn to San Francisco. During the Civil War, on June 6, 1863, he was nineteen-year-old third mate on the clipper ship Southern Cross bound for New York with a cargo of 'log wood.'
'Florida' was flying the British ensign, though as she steamed closer, she ran up the rebels' 'stars and bars.' A squad of armed Confederate sailors boarded and took Dillingham and the rest of the clipper's small crew prisoner.
Then, as the new prisoners watched from the deck of their captor, the Southern Cross was set ablaze and sunk. Eventually they were put ashore at Rio de Janeiro and worked their way back to the war-torn United States.
Dillingham headed west, determined to take up residence in San Francisco and find work ashore. An unsuccessful hunt for employment led him back to the sea, and in 1865 he was hired by Captain John Paty as first mate on the bark whistler, on the San Francisco/Honolulu run.
"A brief sojourn in the city enabled me to realize that I had no training in any other vocation, save that of the sea, and learning that Capt. Paty of the bark Whistler plying between the coast and Honolulu was in need of officers, I applied and obtained the position of first mate without delay." (Dillingham; Chiddix & Simpson))
Dillingham wrote that he felt at home the first time he came ashore in Honolulu: "After my tempstuous experiences in rounding Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope, the trip seemed to me like a pleasure excursion."
"It felt as if I had anchored in a home port; the cordiality I experienced from all those whom I met removed at once the feeling of being in a foreign land though the streets were filled with several nationalities. The luxuriant foliage, the balmy breezes, the tropical fruits, all afforded such delights that I felt sure I should return."
He did return, and ultimately stayed after an unfortunate encounter between his horse and a carriage; "The first officer of the bark Whistler, Mr. Dillingham, whose leg was broken last Friday night, by being thrown from a horse, in collision with a carriage, on the valley road …"
"(Dillingham) is now at the American Marine Hospital, where he receives every care and attention, and is in favorable condition for recover." (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, July 29, 1865) Unfortunately for him, the Whistler left him in Honolulu and sailed away.
He accepted a job as a clerk in a hardware store called H. Dimond & Son for $40 per month. The store was owned by Henry Dimond, formerly a bookbinder in the 7th Missionary Company. In 1850 Dimond had been released from his duties at the Mission and had gone into business with his son.
Dillingham later bought the company with partner Alfred Castle (son of Samuel Northrup Castle, who was in the 8th Company of missionaries and ran the Mission business office;) they called the company Dillingham & Co (it was later known as Pacific Hardware, Co.)
On April 26, 1869, Dillingham married Emma Smith, daughter of 6th Company missionaries Reverend Lowell and Abigail Smith.
But hard times came on Dillingham with the collapse of whaling and the rise of sugar. Large suppliers pulled Dillingham's credit lines, and his accounts were paid late. Then Dillingham was given the opportunity to buy the James Campbell lands in Ewa.
While he couldn't raise the money to buy it, Campbell leased the land for 50-years. Dillingham realized that to be successful, he needed reliable transportation.
On September 4, 1888, Frank Dillingham's 44th birthday, the legislature gave Dillingham an exclusive franchise "for construction and operation on the Island of O'ahu a steam railroad … for the carriage of passengers and freight."
Dillingham formed O'ahu Railway and Land Company (OR&L,) a narrow gauge rail, whose economic being was founded on the belief that O'ahu would soon host a major sugar industry.
"Among the most important works now in process of rapid construction, is the Oahu railway to Pearl Harbor, which is already approaching completion, so far as grading is concerned. Eleven miles of this line will have the grading completed in two weeks; and of this length ten miles are already finished."
"The depot itself will be of imposing size and made as ornamental in appearance as convenience and traffic requirements will allow. … The progress of this important work has been so rapid during the month of July that we give it first place among the works in progress during the past month." (Pacific Commercial Advertiser, July 27, 1889)
"Mr BF Dillingham, promoter of the Oahu Railway and Land Company, on his birthday a year previous, was accosted by an acquaintance with the remark: 'Well, Mr. Dillingham, you have got your franchise: when are you going to give us the railway?'"
"Mr. Dillingham replied that on his next birthday, that day one year, he hoped to treat his friends to a railway ride. … with a strong company now at his back, the originator of the enterprise, having taken the contract to build the road, resolutely pushed operations to their present advanced stage."
"When the appointed day arrived Mr Dillingham was ready to celebrate. His engine had been set up some days. Two third class cars, the best passenger accommodation as yet on the ground, were put together. … With a shrill blast from the whistle and the bell clanging, the engine moved easily off with its load. Three rousing cheers were given by the passengers, and crowds assembled at the starting point responded." (Daily Bulletin, September 5, 1889)
Ultimately OR&L sublet land, partnered on several sugar operations and/or hauled cane from Ewa Plantation Company, Honolulu Sugar Company in 'Aiea, O'ahu Sugar in Waipahu, Waianae Sugar Company, Waialua Agriculture Company and Kahuku Plantation Company, as well as pineapples for Dole.
By the early-1900s, the expanded railway cut across the island, serving several sugar and pineapple plantations, and the popular Haleʻiwa Hotel. They even included a "Kodak Camera Train" (associated with the Hula Show) for Sunday trips to Hale'iwa for picture-taking.
When the hotel opened on August 5, 1899, guests were conveyed from the railway terminal over the Anahulu stream to fourteen luxurious suites, each had a bath with hot-and-cold running water.
Thrum's 'Hawaiian Annual' (1900,) noted, "In providing so tempting an inn as an adjunct and special attraction for travel by the Oahu Railway – also of his (Dillingham's) creation – the old maxim of 'what is worth doing is worth doing well' has been well observed, everything About the hotel is first class…"
The weekend getaway from Honolulu to the Haleʻiwa Hotel became hugely popular with the city affluent who enjoyed a retreat in 'the country.'
In addition, OR&L (using another of its "land" components,) got into land development. It developed Hawai'i's first planned suburban development and held a contest, through the newspaper, to name this new city. The winner selected was "Pearl City" (the public also named the main street, Lehua.)
The railway owned 2,200-acres in fee simple in the peninsula. First they laid-out and constructed the improvements, then invited the public on a free ride to see the new residential community. The marketing went so well; ultimately, lots were auctioned off to the highest bidder.
"Mr. Dillingham, besides creating the O'ahu Railway, a line for which he struggled twenty-seven years against a public prejudice that would not see its financial possibilities, established Olaʻa plantation on the Island of Hawai'i and McBryde plantation on Kauai."
"He retained active management of the Oahu Railway & Land Company until 1915, when he relinquished it to George P. Denison." (Sugar, May 1918) Dillingham died April 7, 1918 (aged 73.) (Information in this post taken, in part, from 'Next Stop Honolulu.')
The Dillingham Transportation Building was built in 1929 for Walter F Dillingham of Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, who founded the Hawaiian Dredging Company (later Dillingham Construction) and ran the Oahu Railway and Land Company founded by his father, Benjamin Franklin Dillingham.

Dillingham Transportation Building
In 1889, after devoting twenty years to the hardware business, Benjamin Franklin (Frank) Dillingham created the O'ahu Railroad and Land Company (OR&L.) This company was primarily responsible for the development of the 160-mile O'ahu Railroad.
Through these rail interests, the corporation became involved with the development of the various sugarcane plantations along its route, and later expanded its cane activities to the islands of Kauai, Maui and Hawai'i with the McBryde, Kihei, Puna and Ola'a Sugar Companies. (NPS)
When the hotel opened on August 5, 1899, guests were conveyed from the railway terminal over the Anahulu stream to fourteen luxurious suites, each had a bath with hot-and-cold running water. Dillingham died April 7, 1918 (aged 73.)
Built in 1929, in memory of Dillingham by his son Walter Francis Dillingham, the 4-story Dillingham Transportation Building carries the 'transportation building' because at that time the Dillingham family was concerned with various types of transportation to and around Hawaii.
Walter founded the Hawaiian Dredging Company (later Dillingham Construction) and ran the O'ahu Railway and Land Company founded by his father.
The building was designed in an Italian Renaissance Revival by architect Lincoln Rogers of Los Angeles, who also designed the Hawaii State Art Museum (1928.)
"Lincoln Rogers, architect of the building, in choosing a style of architecture generally called 'Mediterranean' with Italian Renaissance as the guiding principle, found a motif ideally suited to a semi-tropic city surrounded by sparkling seas and green-clad mountains." (Honolulu)
The Dillingham Transportation Building is Italian Renaissance concrete and concrete block structure with three connected wings, and is a good example of the Mediterranean revival style applied to a commercial structure.
The first story round arched arcade, upper story quoins and the low pitched, tile, hipped roof, well convey the style. The Mediterranean and Spanish mission revival styles enjoyed tremendous popularity in Hawaii during the twenties.
These styles, the closest European equivalents to tropical design, were considered to be the most appropriate forms for Hawaii's climate with their arcades providing a sense of airy openness.
The Dillingham Transportation Building is one of a number of downtown buildings to employ these styles, and is the most imposing of the Mediterranean revival buildings in the area. (NPS)
The structure has a Spanish tile hip roof, and below the eave there is a frescoed decoration. The entrance lobby features Art Deco patterns of variously colored marbles and bricks. (Historic Hawai'i)
You will note nautical references above the door arches and along the outside walls of the building – noting ships, sailors and twisted rope patterns (even over the elevators.)
The Dillingham Transportation Building shares arcade space with the nearby Pacific Guardian Building, whose street address is 'through' the Dillingham lobby. (Star-Bulletin)

Bruno Mars Just Wants You to Be Happy
With the help of his delightful new album, '24K Magic'
By Lindsay Zoladz Nov 18, 2016, 10:39am EST
Share All sharing options for: Bruno Mars Just Wants You to Be Happy
It was one of those titles no one else was really gunning for: World's Youngest Elvis Impersonator. In the 1990 documentary Viva Elvis, an interviewer asks our hero, an alarmingly precocious child named Bruno, how long he's been performing as the King. The pompadoured 4-year-old answers, "Since when I was 2." His father, a member of the Hawaiian band The Love Notes, sits silently by his side. You knew right then that this kid was either destined to become the most charming pop star of his generation, or a serial killer who asphyxiated each of his victims with peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches. Luckily, the former happened. You know him. His last name is Mars.
Plenty of children pushed into the spotlight at such an early age end up wanting to run screaming from it as adults, but the now-31-year-old Bruno Mars (born Peter Hernandez) speaks fondly of his early experiences as a tiny showman. "It was like turning into Batman," he told GQ in 2013. "I'd go to school and kids are calling me Peter and we're playing baseball and kickball and shit, and then — 'All right guys, I've got to go!'" He loved the adrenaline rush, the applause. He grew up in Honolulu, with a truly amazing pedigree for a performer: His father was a musician/Elvis memorabilia shop owner, and his mother was a singer/hula dancer. He joined the family band around the same time he was potty-trained.
Justin Bieber is often considered the first pop star of the YouTube era — a diamond plucked from the rough of countless precocious children warbling acoustic cover songs into their webcams — but the platform has shaped Bruno Mars's stardom in a different way: It means we have bountiful access to his well-recorded past, a kind of flip-book of Mars stepping out from the shadow of his idols and becoming an original artist in his own right. He eventually added Michael Jackson to his repertoire of impersonations; here is a video of him wearing a Jackson 5 wig and singing "I'll Be There" at something called the Las Vegas Revue in Waikiki.
It's no surprise, given his upbringing, that Mars's more recent music moonwalks a fine line between innovation and homage, and squaring his past with his present brings up some interesting questions about the collective consciousness of popular music: Can a kid who was groomed to be an impersonator ever make anything original? Or, is Bruno Mars the absolute perfect specimen to turn our ideas about pop music and originality on their heads?
Bruno Mars has become so goddamn cool in the past few years that you almost have to strain to remember that he first came on the scene wearing a fedora, and that there are a few songs on his first album that sound like Jason Mraz. Doo-Wops & Hooligans, his 2010 debut, spawned a few smash hits — the schmaltzy ballad "Just the Way You Are," the pretty undeniable "Grenade" — but it now feels like the sound of Mars just revving his engines, securing a kind of chart-topping popularity with which he could do more interesting things later. Later came quickly, in 2012, with his excellent sophomore record, Unorthodox Jukebox. There were smashes on that one, too — the much-less-schmaltzy ballad "When I Was Your Man," the jangly, Police-worthy banger "Locked Out of Heaven" — but there was also a great leap forward in production. Pop past and present engaged in conversation in these songs. "Young Girls" is a Motown song let loose in the postproduction candy store of the digital era. The genre-agnostic "Locked Out of Heaven" feels equally indebted to Sam Cooke's chain gang and the buoyant energy of the early-aughts post-punk revival. My favorite song on the album, though, was perhaps the most convincingly retro: "Treasure," a gleaming bit of dance-floor R&B, an Off the Wall–era Michael Jackson song in everything but its use of the word "motherfucker."
That was one of the two songs that best prepared us for his sumptuous new album, 24K Magic. The other one was, technically, a Mark Ronson track: The unavoidable, Grammy-winning 2015 smash "Uptown Funk," a song you will hear in the Drunk Hour of every wedding you ever attend for the rest of your life. Few songs have worn their influences on their sleeve so boldly, and with such panache: It requires no stretch of the imagination to picture Morris Day and the Time performing "Uptown Funk" in the middle of Purple Rain, and yet — miraculously — this does not make the song feel retro in a cloying way. It's homage done too well, too lovingly, to get mad at for any reason at all, even unoriginality. It now feels like the transitional song that separates the first part of Mars's career from the second. Before, there was something kind of postmodern about his nods to the past — they were purposely patchy, collaging together his wide range of influences. But 24K Magic, his best record so far, is seamless in its re-creation of bygone sounds, tones, and atmospheres. It's not pastiche anymore; it's full-on simulacra.
This record has a high thread count. The production is so immaculate that it sounds like all the things Mars sings about: silk sheets, strawberry champagne, hastily flung-off Versace. Surely you've heard the leadoff single, "24K Magic," a jubilant b-boy jam with a soaring chorus — the "Uptown Funk Pt. II" that we really did need. There are a few other songs like this on the record: The extended James Brown impersonation "Perm" ("Throw some perm on your attitude / Girl you gotta relax, ooh") and "Finesse," the best Bell Biv DeVoe song of the 21st century.
But it's the slow jams on this record that really take it to the next level. "Versace on the Floor" is the opulent centerpiece of 24K Magic, and it is a perfect song. It is the "Lady in Red" of this millennium. Someday someone will choreograph a freestyle canoe routine to it, and it will be beautiful. The gorgeous finale, "Too Good to Say Goodbye," can wear its Babyface cowriting credit with pride. The stroke of genius is that Mars doesn't try to ham it up too much on the ballads — he resists the urge to make them ironically retro and just allows them to be straightforwardly pretty. In his latest Rolling Stone cover story, he revealed that the original version of the song had a line about "fly[ing] through a storm on a unicorn" and "mak[ing] love on a mountain, bath[ing] in a fountain." It was wise to cut the Ron Burgundy shit; it would take you out of the song's transportive atmosphere, place the whole thing in air quotes.
He does get to pull off one great downtempo punch line, during the sultry "Calling All My Lovelies," when he samples Halle Berry's answering machine. Little Elvis earned that one.
"This is something I never thought about until recently," Mars said in this month's Rolling Stone cover story, "but because of my upbringing performing for tourists, I had to entertain everyone. Not just black people, not just white people, not just Asian people, not just Latin people. I had to perform for anybody that came to Hawaii." Mars's father is Puerto Rican and Jewish, and his mother (who passed away in 2013) was Filipino, but he says growing up in Hawaii gave him different, less binary ideas about race than most other Americans have. "Everyone's kind of mixed up there, kind of brown because it's sunny," he said in 2013. When he moved to Los Angeles, he was surprised at the segregated way in which record executives still talk about marketing music. "They were talking about 'What radio station would play this?' And it basically boils down to 'Who's gonna buy your albums? Black people or white people?'"
Against all odds, he found a way to answer "C: all of the above." And though he'll never be a political artist, there is something subtly subversive about that kind of across-the-board appeal: Mars is a great unifier. He can charm an Ellen audience and make a song like 24K Magic's "Chunky," an ode to "them girls with the big ol' hoops." He effortlessly exudes that kind of moms-love-him charm that someone like Drake lacquers on when he's on a talk show, so much so that said moms can easily overlook the occasional lyric about cocaine or your sex taking him to paradise. Mars isn't setting out to be an innovator, and that's fine: Little Elvis will always be a crowd-pleaser at heart, an old-fashioned showman in an era so starved for them that he's been asked to appear at the Super Bowl halftime show twice in the past three years. 24K Magic is a transportive, sonic fantasyland — it's a 33-minute vacation. Bruno Mars just wants you to be happy, and lord knows that's a worthy mission in the garbage year of 2016. So just sit back and let this unicorn fly you through the storm. "If you ever need to smile again, girl," he offers, "take my card."

Five to Count On?
The New Year is upon us and the baseball world is asleep. The Rockies are no exception. After a flurry of December and November activity, the Rox appear content with their 2011 squad. Dan O'Dowd and company are avoiding the urge to throw money at overpriced free agents and sticking with the plan to produce major league talent from within. The team pillars, Troy Tulowitzki and Ubaldo Jiminez, are both homegrown talents. Carlos Gonzalez was acquired in return for another player that came up through the Rockies farm system, Matt Holliday. The Rox shrewdly acquired a few pieces through free agency and trades this offseason, but ultimately they are betting that a group of young players will step up in 2011. The five Rockies listed below have big league experience. Each has shown flashes of greatness, but none has yet to reach his full potential. If these guys can elevate their level of play, the Rockies have a chance to be scary good.

CF – Dexter Fowler
Fowler struck out far too often in 2010, but walked 57 times in 439 ABs. After two seasons with the Rockies, it is time for Dexter to live up to his billing. If he does, the Rockies will have one of the most dynamic leadoff hitters in the National League. If he doesn't, Carlos Gonzalez will probably move over to center and someone else will hit leadoff. With that said, I think Fowler will be one of baseball's breakthrough stars in 2011. His talent is undeniable. Hopefully, this will be the year that is all clicks for Dexter.
2B – Eric Young Jr.
Newly acquired Jose Lopez is likely the favorite to win the second base job, but I'm boldly predicting that EY Jr. beats him out this spring. Young is a better defensive second baseman than Lopez and is in another class in terms of speed. Young spent most of the 2010 season playing behind Clint Barmes. Now that Barmes has been traded, the promising Young will seize the opportunity to play every day. In the minors, Young was a prolific base stealer; he has the ability to steal at least 50 bases for the Rockies next year.
Chris Nelson is a dark horse in the second base race. Most remember Nelson as last season's September call up that stole home against the Reds. He is an excellent prospect, but probably not as good as EY Jr. Also, you should expect to see Ty Wigginton get a few spot starts at second.
RF – Seth Smith
Now that Brad Hawpe is playing first base for the Padres, the Rockies' defense in right should improve dramatically. Not to say Seth Smith is the next coming of Larry Walker, but he is an upgrade over the stationary Hawpe. It's time for the Rockies to give Smith a chance to play every day. He has shown the ability to hit for power, but hasn't made over 400 plate appearances in any season.
3B – Ian Stewart
Stewart is one year younger than Troy Tulowizki, but he has been in the Rockies' system for two years longer. He has reached the point in his career where he can no longer be considered a young, developing player. He can hit homeruns, but struggles against major league lefties. If Ian doesn't show improvement against southpaws, the Rockies will have to turn third base into a platoon position, with Stewart getting the start against righties and Jose Lopez against lefties. Oh, and a trade for Michael Young of the Rangers isn't happening. He is too old and the Rangers owe him too much money.
C – Chris Iannetta
The Rockies have named Chris Iannetta their starting catcher several times, but they have shown little patience with him. Last year, he started off slow and the Rockies benched in him in favor of Miguel Olivio. They won't have that luxury next year unless they acquire another catcher. The team has been very clear that they intend to start next season with Iannetta. Chris had a terrific 2008 season, but hasn't been good since. The Rockies need the Chris Iannetta of 2008.
