Dynamic Sedimentary Facies Analysis Technology and Its Application
Sedimentary facies, which has been studied for hundreds of years, is one of the fundamental research in petroleum exploration and development. For example, several corresponding technical standards have been issued in China since the last 10 years. However the sedimentary facies is mostly studied with only static information. The dynamic information is usually ignored from information collection to investigation. Dynamic sedimentary facies analysis technology, which helps us to understand the underground better and gain more industrial and economic value, is therefore brought forward. The dynamic sedimentary facies technology means that such dynamic information as water influx, production rate and pressure, etc, is used when sedimentary facies is studied together with the traditional static information including of outcrop, rock core, well logging and seism. With the dynamic sedimentary facies analysis technology, the sand striking can be determined and the sand palaeocurrent among wells can be understood better.

1963 Prince Skyline sport coupe by michelotti
Second Floor - Industry
Prince was one of several Japanese automobile manufacturers to turn to Italy for assistance with styling of select car models. Never officially exported to America, the Prince Skyline Sport was designed by Giovanni Michelotti and has canted headlights akin to those on certain Chryslers, Bentleys, and Ferraris of the day. Based on the Prince firm’s Gloria chassis, the Skyline Sport is powered by an otherwise stock 1.9-liter, four-cylinder engine. Both coupe and convertible versions were built.

A growing oil & gas industry, the need to replace aging systems, and new end-user attitudes toward safety are driving growth in the worldwide process safety system market, according to a research report published by ARC Advisory Group.
Process safety systems protect people, equipment, and the environment when unsafe conditions occur in industrial processes, such as oil refining, petrochemical production, or power generation. The oil & gas industry is the largest user of process safety systems, and the industry has been growing worldwide due to projects for new unconventional resources and large complex offshore projects.
The ARC report forecasts the safety system market will exceed $3 billion worldwide in 2017.
Dedicated process safety systems emerged about 30 years ago, which creates a replacement market opportunity as older systems have become difficult to support.
ARC research indicates that plant owner-operators are beginning to adopt a new attitude toward safety system investments. The severity of recent accidents and incidents in the process industries, combined with recognition of the need for greater operational integrity, has led many end-user companies to take a broader view of safety and re-visit their existing processes, procedures, and systems.
“The need for higher operational integrity is becoming widely recognized, and owner-operators are re-thinking their policies for both new and existing assets,” according to ARC Senior Analyst Harry Forbes, the principal author of ARC’s new Process Safety Systems Global Market Research Study. “Huge new offshore projects and unconventional oil and gas resources bring the challenge of managing safety for critical assets and systems in very remote locations. The practices developed for these new projects will end up being adopted elsewhere across industry.”

Holland America Line
Holland America Line's Rotterdam History and Tradition
Story published on the HAL's Web site (7/1/97)
The Rotterdam I
She was returning to Holland from her maiden voyage to New York on October 15, 1872.
As she prepared to enter the Voorne Canal for the return trip to the harbor of Rotterdam, carpenters stood ready with hatchets.
It seemed that the builders had made the ship slightly larger than the architects had specified, and there was some doubt that the new ship would fit in the locks.
Yet fit she did, with only the space of a bumper between her bow and the lock gate. Soon, the Rotterdam I had returned home to the port whose name she proudly carried.
Since the founding of Holland America, the line's flagship has been named Rotterdam, in honor of the great Dutch seaport that was the company's original home.
When the new Rotterdam VI sets sail in 1997, she will carry with her the tradition of a grand heritage.
By 1872, the days of the great sailing vessels were coming to an end. A group of visionary men in Rotterdam surmised that the time had come for a Dutch steamship service to America.
On June 6, 1872, Plate, Reuchlin & Company launched the ss Rotterdam, a single propeller, iron-hulled ship of 1,694 gross tons, designed specifically for carrying passengers and cargo to America.
Sailing at a brisk (for that time) pace of up to 10 knots, she cut the trans-Atlantic crossing time from six weeks to 15 days. She could carry some 1,300 tons of cargo and had space for eight first class passengers and 388 second class passengers.
Since steam was not yet considered completely reliable, the ship was also equipped with sails and masts both before and after the steam engine funnel.
In 1873, the company was reorganized. The new De Nederlandsch Amerikaansche Stoomvaart Maatschappij (NASM) later became known as Holland America Line.
The company established monthly trans-Atlantic service between the Netherlands and New York, and gradually added more vessels. The new steamship company was on its way and in 1998, the line will celebrate its 125th anniversary.
Although early Holland America ships carried both cargo and passengers, the turn-of-the-century tidal wave of European emigration fueled much of the line's initial growth. Between 1880 and 1920, some 25 million people left Europe for North America.
"It was a huge migration," says Cees Huurman, curator of the Prins Hendrik Maritime Museum in Rotterdam. "People came from all over Europe in search of a better life in the New World. And many departed for America from Rotterdam. New and better ships were a necessity to keep up with the demand."
After carrying passengers across the Atlantic for a decade, the Rotterdam I was wrecked at Schouwen in 1883.
The Rotterdam II
In 1886, the company purchased the four-master British Empire, and refurbished and refitted her as the Rotterdam II.
At 3,329 gross tons, Rotterdam II was now the largest ship in the fleet and equipped with twin screws along with an "artificially cooled chamber" to carry meat and other perishable goods.
It did not, however, have sails. "There was a lot of controversy when the sails were finally left off," says Huurman. "but the Rotterdam was always a leader in design."
In 1886, the Rotterdam II undertook what many believe was Holland America Line's first cruise, from Rotterdam to Copenhagen. During the voyage she was the first passenger liner to pass through the Kiel Canal. By 1897, the company reported that 90,000 cabin class passengers and nearly 400,000 third class passengers had been carried across the ocean, along with 5 million tons of cargo.
The Rotterdam III
Holland America ordered the company's largest vessel up to that time from Harland & Wolff in Belfast. Christened the Rotterdam III, the 8,186 gross ton ship replaced Rotterdam II, which was re-named Edam III.
Now, passengers took priority over freight, and Rotterdam III carried 200 first class passengers, 250 in second class and 2,000 third class passengers. She was so successful that newer and larger ships were ordered.
The Rotterdam III was sold in 1906.
The Rotterdam IV
In 1908, Rotterdam IV, built by Harland & Wolff in Belfast, set sail.
At 24,149 gross tons, she was the pride of the fleet and carried 520 passengers in first class, 555 in second and 2,500 in third.
Maintaining Holland America's tradition of innovation in design, she was the first ship on the Atlantic to have a glassed-in promenade deck. The first class vestibule, with a grand, double-bannistered staircase, might be seen as a precursor of today's atriums.
Rotterdam IV was the largest Dutch ship for nearly two decades and remained the pride of the fleet until laid up in 1939, after sailing a distance nearly equaling 72 times around the world.
The Rotterdam V
On September 13, 1958, Holland America launched the Rotterdam V, a 38,645-gross-ton trans-Atlantic liner designed to cruise the world.
"She caused a sensation, since she didn't have traditional funnels but rather two diesel exhaust stacks," notes Huurman, who sailed on the ship as a young engineer.
"This caused as much of a controversy as the earlier Rotterdam did when it was launched without sails in the 19th century." Capable of a speed of 26 knots, the Rotterdam V has made a world cruise nearly every year since her launch.
With the classic Rotterdam V scheduled to be retired in September of 1997, her successor, Rotterdam VI, is already under construction. The new flagship of the fleet also will be designed to cruise the world and continue the seafaring legacy of Holland America Line.

Katie Holmes: Acting “Dry Spells” Had Nothing To Do With Tom Cruise
Katie Holmes is dispelling the notion she’s now trying “reclaim her career,” following her divorce from Tom Cruise.
The Giver actress, who has several movies in the works, does not believe her high-profile marriage to Cruise contributed in any way to having fewer acting jobs, noting in fall issue of DuJour, “It’s the life of an actor.”
“We don’t really have a lot of choice in the matter,” she tells the magazine. “You have dry spells, and then you have times when there is a lot of opportunity.”
Although Holmes admits she wasn’t as interested in acting during her married years, she says it was because of the arrival of her daughter, Suri. “I totally admire women who go back to work six weeks after giving birth,” she explains, “but when she was little, I was not ready. I was a very nervous mother — like, sleeping next to her crib — and I was in that mode for a long time.”
The Miss Meadows star admits she is a more confident actress now that she is older. “I think I’ve gotten more comfortable with acting over time,” she says. “Early on, I could never get out of my head. I’d be thinking, ‘I have to get the job.’ And even when I had the job, I was afraid that I was going to get fired, or I just had the mentality of, ‘I need to be good enough.’”
Holmes adds, “The more projects you do, the older you get, the more life experience you get, you start to understand storytelling better. So you’re a little bit more confident going in. You’re not afraid of getting fired: You just want to contribute.”

We all have our "off" days when it comes to raising kids. The days where you swear if you have to change one more explosive diaper you're probably going to explode yourself; the days when trying to communicate the importance of broccoli to a child that loathes anything green; the days when you finally reach your limit and you want to quit mothering. We all have them, and it's okay to sometimes not want to parent anymore because of them.
The one thing that every mom thinks, but rarely says out loud is that, sometimes (or even a surprisingly decent amount of time) we just want to quit motherhood. We just want to pack up our spit-up covered bags and be on our merry way, back to the days when our lives weren't dictated by a tiny human's bowel movements. Motherhood provides you with some inevitable life changes that, while wonderful, are also difficult. Because you're still human and you're still flawed and you're still capable of being selfish, growing tired of caring for a child is a perfectly normal part of parenthood. In fact, if motherhood hasn't completely exhausted you at some point, you're probably not doing it right because this gig is serious. It's awesome and priceless and magical, but damn if this journey isn't a trying one.
The good news is: you're not alone. Even if the moments that leave you wanting to quit the parenting game make you feel like a terrible parent, you're not. You're doing fine. Actually, you're doing better than fine and the one thing you need to know when you feel like quitting is that, well, you won't. That thought will come and go and you'll experience one of those priceless parenting moments and all will feel right in the world. So if you ever get to feeling down; if you ever doubt your abilities to raise tiny humans into capable adults; if you ever think that parenthood feels like an endless abyss of tantrums and messes, just remember that it's not your fault. There are many, many, completely justifiable reasons for why you feel like giving up, including:

Graceful Explosion Machine has just received an update that brings new features to the exciting Nintendo Switch eShop title. Announced on developer Vertex Pop’s website, the update brings a redesigned score screen that studio head Mobeen Fikree hopes will give you all the information you could want in one place. He also says that there will be a clearer breakdown of your score, weapon usage, and much more. Vertex Pop also wanted to highlight a great moment from each run, so Mobeen designed an AI system that understands when something spectacular is happening on screen and automatically captures it for you, ready to be shared or saved as you please. Lastly, while building out all these features, Mobeen optimized the loading code and he now claims the game will load “almost twice as fast now.”
These should be welcome additions to a game built around high score chasing and these updates also coincide with the announcement that Graceful Explosion Machine will be launching on the PlayStation 4 and Steam on August 8th. We’ve included the launch trailer for the new platforms below so you can get another look at this fun and frantic title.

76 more Covid-19 cases in Rajasthan, state tally reaches 16,085
As many as 375 people have lost their lives due to coronavirus, showed the data released by the Health Department.Updated: Jun 25, 2020 14:04 IST
As many as 76 more Covid-19 cases have been reported from Rajasthan in the last 24 hours, talking the total number of coronavirus cases in the state to 16,085 on Thursday, said the State Health Department.
So far 375 people have lost their lives due to the virus, showed the data released by the Health Department. Currently, there are 3,064 active cases while 12,646 others have been discharged after having recovered.
According to the data, as many as 7,40,855 samples have been tested in the state.
Notably, the most number of coronavirus cases have been reported from Jaipur (3,120), Jodhpur (2,528) and Bharatpur (1,434) districts.


What he meant by that was that it was a giant nation full of promise which somehow always fails to fulfill its potential.
In recent years, I’ve often thought of that slogan. Not, however, in connection with Brazil, but in terms of mass transit and Michigan.
We are always said to be just on the verge of mass transit. Light rail on Woodward, or extending the people mover in Detroit, or more recently, expanded commuter rail service.
But somehow, it never happens.
Barely three months ago, officials of SEMCOG, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, were talking about daily commuter rail service between Detroit and Ann Arbor by the end of October. Carmine Palombo, SEMCOG’s director of transportation programs, was talking about four trips a day.
This was to be sort of a demonstration project. It would be relatively easy, because the track is already there. The hope was that when people saw how convenient it was, funding for more lines would follow. But then the inevitable “Brazil moment” arrived.
The money SEMCOG was counting on fell through.
Local leaders have raised thirty-three million dollars for the project, but need something like fifty million more. They were counting on a hundred million dollars in federal funds.
But Washington said no. The cost-per-rider would be too high, the feds said. There is another problem. Even if everything worked out, they’d still need at least $10 million dollars a year for basic operating costs. SEMCOG hasn‘t got it.
“The project isn’t dead,” Palombo told the Detroit News, trying to put the best possible spin on his commuter train wreck. “But we have two big problems: We have no one to run it,” long-term. Additionally, he added, they lack a stable, “dedicated, source of funding.” If that doesn’t mean the project is dead, it does put it in sort of the same category as NASA’s plans to go to Mars.
They are still talking about offering commuter train service to some special events. But … don’t hold your breath. The commuter rail delay was greeted with dismay. Mass transit is something that everybody says they want. But two things aren’t clear:
First: Would people really use mass transit on a regular basis if it was available - or just hope their neighbors would?
Second: Are people willing to pay for it? Everybody is willing, of course to apply for federal funds. But even if they come, other money is likely to be needed for any system. SEMCOG‘s Palombo observed that “No matter how popular the service proves to be, it will die without proper state funding.” His preferred solution would be a rise in the gas and vehicle registration tax, with some of the money used for mass transit, and some to fix our wretched roads.
But, State Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop has vowed no new revenue for anything, no matter what. So it looks like we will go on thinking that mass transit is the wave of the future.
We’ll just leave it to other states to do it. Which should make thing interesting for Michigan when the petroleum finally runs out.

LONDON — British transit union leader Bob Crow — a hero to many of his members but a scourge to London commuters — has died at the age of 52.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport Union said Crow, its general secretary since 2002, died early Tuesday. It did not disclose the cause.
One of the few British union leaders to be a household name and recognizable face, Crow led his union through a series of disruptive strikes on London's busy subway system.

SHARK tourism - including watching great whites from underwater cages - will be outlawed in the west.
The Sunday Times can reveal that Fisheries Minister Norman Moore will today announce that the State Government is drafting regulations to rule out tourism ventures that attract sharks, amid fears it puts people in danger.
The decision comes after Mr Moore directed the Department of Fisheries to investigate cage diving, following preliminary inquiries from charter operators interested in starting up the thrill-seeking activity.
The research found that WA "did not have any known areas where sharks congregated', like South Australia, where cage diving with great whites is permitted.
It also found there was evidence to suggest that the tourism attraction had the potential to change the animals' behaviour and the risks outweighed any perceived tourism or economic benefits.
Mr Moore said the State Government was not prepared to take the risk after four people were killed by sharks in state waters since September last year.
"(The) lack of such sites in WA may result in operators wanting to maximise berleying and baiting to attract sharks to meet tourist expectations, which may have unwanted consequences," he said.
"CSIRO research at shark-cage diving sites in South Australia found that white sharks in the study area changed their distribution to align with areas of active berleying and, while there was no determination from the study about the longer-term effects on shark behaviour or outside the study area, I would prefer to take no risks until more is known.
"With four fatalities in WA from shark interactions since last September, the Government is not willing to allow any ventures that may raise even greater public fears than already exist."
The development comes as the Department of Fisheries begins consultation with local councils to incorporate warnings about sharks on permanent coastal safety signs.
Shark Response Unit manager Mike Burgess said research had found "two distinct populations" of great whites in Australia one that inhabits WA and South Australian waters, and another on the east coast.
"Through previous tagging studies, white sharks are known to undertake long-distance migrations from South Australia to WA waters as far north as Exmouth and it's possible that fluctuating white-shark abundance in our waters is dependent on environmental cues that drive these migratory patterns back and forth," he said.
"There are no easy answers or solutions as to why sharks bite or to explain the unprecedented cluster of fatal shark bites."
Mr Burgess said the unit was also analysing environmental data to determine "whether there are any particular environmental reasons for these incidents".

Far too many times in the last few years because of the crummy economy, professionals are devaluing their self-worth in the job marketplace. We as a society need to put a value on our own lives in the business world and start driving the price of employees up instead of down.
This theory is not only goes for solo-entrepreneur’s on the internet and off, but the common job seeker who has just found themselves laid off from a job, re-entering the job marketplace, or trying desperately to move on from their current position. I worked for a company once that lost their contract. It was awarded to another vendor and the employees in my office scrambled to move on before being laid off.
The one thing that distressed me was the inability to determine one’s self-worth in the business marketplace. What irks me the most in corporate America is when people take a pay cut when they really deserve a raise. Why on earth would you work at a position for 3-10 years, gain all that experience and then let someone tell you that your worth is less than what you are currently making or valued at the same amount?
It’s inexcusable to let someone dictate your value in our society regardless of what the economy is doing, what your friends tell you should be making, or what an HR person says your job title is worth! Do you want to know why? Every time you take a pay cut you are not only undermining your ability to survive and your family’s ability, but you are telling the HR person and the economy they are right. Do you have any clue what that does to the job market? That not only makes the rich richer (the big bad business owner), but it also now tells the rest of the job pushers that your job is now only worth this much money. That means everyone else who is qualified for that position in a different state and a different city has now been told their job is only worth this much.
So for example, Project Coordinator Jane in ABC city USA has made 60K a year as a high level project coordinator on at IT project for the last 3 years. She has gained invaluable skills and could probably do the job of a project manager now and run circles around them. Unfortunately she has also gotten burned out on her job and she has heard rumors that they are eliminating her department.
She has now applied for a better coordinator position at company Awesome. They have everything she wants in a position and are even going to give her more duties such as managing a small staff. Guess what? They know she needs a job so they offer her 55K a year to this awesome new job and explain that’s what everyone else in the industry is now offering. Jane takes it without even negotiating and she is happy to have a job. But she has a twinge of depression creep in because she feels that she should have and could have been making more but tries to rationalize her thoughts stating she was going to be out of a job soon so she should be grateful for anything at this point.
This is where the downward spiral starts. Jane in turn has started a ripple effect by not even negotiating herself worth even though she deserves more. But now she feels a bit of anxiety every time she goes to work at her new awesome job because she knows she should have asked for more money. This is a common problem not only in the corporate world but online as well. Because Joe Shmoe in India can live on and will take 4 dollars an hour, Joe Brilliant in the good ole USA feels he needs to lower his prices as well.
If the entire workforce would stand up for themselves and tell corporate America they are worth more, and that they will not being doing the job of 3 people instead of just 1, I believe our job force would be much happier and work more productively. You have to value yourself everyday in life and business much higher than what you would expect. In turn others will value you as well in turn affording you better opportunities, more money, and a better lifestyle. The moral of the story is, if you have to fake it do, ask for what you are worth, know where you are going in life whether it be in corporate America or as a solo-entrepreneur. Never settle for less than you are worth!

Movie remakes are a touchy subject, especially when a beloved storyteller like Stephen King is involved. Not all remakes are bad, though. Sometimes remakes can improve and bring a new take to an old movie, like It and It Chapter 2. And, let’s be honest, while many of Stephen King’s novels are great, his movie adaptations haven’t had the best track record. Plus, many of his good adaptations were made over thirty years ago. It's time to bring them to a modern audience. Here are some Stephen King movies, I think need to get the remake treatment.
Cujo, starring E.T.’s Dee Wallace hit theaters in 1983 and became a moderate success, earning roughly $21 million on a $5 million budget. It’s about a farm dog that gets bitten by a bat, contracts rabies, and eventually goes on a murderous rampage. Cujo made a huge impact on modern culture. Do you know anyone with a dog named Cujo? Still, I think the movie has a number of flaws that could be rectified in a remake.
While Dee Wallace’s diamond-in-the-rough performance and Cujo’s dirty, grizzled, and bloody complexion heightens the terror, Cujo too often reeks of a TV movie. From the direction and production to the first and second act dealing with a soap opera level affair, the movie’s first half leaves a bad taste in your mouth and the only thing that rinses the palette is the third act.
With the right director and screenplay, Cujo could sink its teeth deeper into the character development and setting a more horrifying tone throughout rather than just the end. It would also do well to be faithful to the book, where Cujo is a demon-possessed dog rather than a rabid one.
The Running Man
Released in 1987 and based on the novel of the same name, The Running Man is a fantastic 80s dystopian thriller starring Arnold Schwarzenegger; it’s also hopelessly campy and ridiculous. It’s about a convicted policeman forced to be in a TV game show where he’s hunted and must battle his killers to survive. If he survives, he earns his freedom. So, yeah, it’s basically an R-rated version of The Hunger Games before those books were even a thing.
For some, The Running Man is a classic Schwarzenegger film. Despite being cheesy, the movie’s legendary status can still be tough to overcome, like Schwarzenegger’s equally dorky Total Recall that got a horrible remake with Colin Farrell. But, if you think about it, this movie could still seriously use a refresher. Put it in the hands of the right filmmaker, like say Jordan Peele, and this dorky 80s action movie could become something truly terrifying.
Released in 1983 and directed by John Carpenter, Christine is one of the better Stephen King adaptations to come around. About a demon-possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury purchased by young teenager Arnie Cunningham, Christine feels a lot like Stephen King watched The Love Bug one night and thought, “but what if it was a serial killer?”
Considering John Carpenter’s task was to make an old hot rod scary, I’d say he overall does a decent job; admittedly, Carpenter’s iconic music and visual style do the heavy lifting. However, it only goes so far; some scenes, in particular, are hopelessly boring and a little too cheesy.
Christine is a good story, though, and covers some interesting themes. If it were to be remade, they’d need a throw everything at the wall and go truly bonkers with it, lest it becomes white noise. With that said, I bet Panos Cosamtos, director of Mandy, could make one truly terrifying Christine remake.
I know I’m going to get an atomic bomb of eyerolls on this one, but hear me out. Released in 1986, Maximum Overdrive was adapted from Stephen King’s short story Trucks, about cars and trucks taking a life of their own and killing everyone around them. Stephen King himself wrote the screenplay and directed the movie. The result was an unmitigated disaster with some scathing critical reviews. Even Stephen King has called it a “moron movie.”
Maximum Overdrive doesn’t work because Stephen King had no business in the director’s chair. It’s just a mess of AC/DC worship, bad acting, and trucks trying to kill people. It’s that last part, though, that might actually have legs (wheels?) and should be explored more.
Maximum Overdrive tries to tap into that mythos of machines suddenly turning against their masters. Of course, the idea of using homicidal trucks as a vehicle to talk about man versus machine isn’t exactly high-brow. But, it’s still an effective and fun horror story idea. With the right director, I think there’s a real possibility this could work. I say give this to Guillermo del Toro and see the magic happen.
The Dead Zone
The Dead Zone released in 1983 and is about Johnny Smith, played by Christopher Walken, who ends up in a coma and wakes up five years later with a mysterious ability to see the future when he shakes someone’s hand. Besides The Shining, The Dead Zone is probably one of Stephen King's more highly regarded 80s adaptations. It ended up spawning a TV show that might be even more popular than the movie. But, I think the movie deserves a second go.
The Dead Zone is dreadfully slow and boring, Johnny Smith’s character is bland, and the movie mostly neuters what makes the book scary—the villains. In the movie, the villains barely exist at all (whereas in the book you get a far darker and disturbing picture of them). Greg Stillson, played by Martin Sheen, plays a prominent villain by the end, but it’s too little, too late.
The Dead Zone could easily be revamped and improved with a faster pace and a laser focus on Johnny Smith as he hunts down Castle Rock’s villains. I bet if you put this in the hands of Denis Villeneuve, he could pull off something incredible.
Released in 2016, Cell is the most recent of Stephen King’s adaptations on this list and also, I’d argue, one of the most tragic. Starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson, it’s about a singular incident where people turn into zombies after using their cell phones. Clay Riddell (Cusack) goes in search of his son as the world falls apart around him. It’s a perfect story for all you technophobes out there, but it fails to deliver.
Cell is painful mostly because it feels like there’s a good movie in there somewhere, but it’s buried by bad execution. The story has teeth, but the production puts in a mouthguard. It struggles to find the heart and soul of the story. It’s so bad, conceivably, all a new director would have to do is watch Cell and do the exact opposite of everything they did. And, I think, given the subject matter, it’s the kind of story that would do well if done correctly.
Stephen King stories can be tough to remake. They’ve tried to reimagine them in other forms, like the TV series Castle Rock, but I’d argue the books still deserve a faithful adaptation to the big screen with a visionary filmmaker at the helm. These are just a few I think should be remade, but what do you think? What Stephen King movies would you want to see remade? Let us know in the comments!

Black, though, allegedly has plans to be a director of a movie version of the character of Doc Savage. Doc Savage was a superhero character from the 1930's and 1940's pulp novels. This character apparently posses extreme intelligence like no other.
Doc Savage was allegedly also an inspiration of a couple of radio shows. These radio shows were inspired by the creation of Superman. The characters included in the upcoming film that features Doc Savage include Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Johnson confirmed his inclusion in the cast of the upcoming film in his Instagram account.
Johnson gives his description of the leading superhero character in the film as having a genius like intellect, who has good intuitive senses beyond what anybody can comprehend. Johnson reveals that he is eager to play the role of Doc Savage due to the latter's weirdo, yet funny personality.
After talking with Shane Black, Johnson revealed he understood the reasons why the director only showcased the best parts of Savage's personality, but left out the strange personality of the character. Johnson, did admit, though, the strange personality of Savage was what was made the character awkwardly funny unlike any other.
"Doc Savage" is an upcoming film that would have Johnson as co-producer. Johnson would co-produce the film in his Seven Bucks Production banner. The film has yet to start being shot.
Shane Black directed "Iron Man 3." Black was also the writer of "Lethal Weapon," as reported in The Hollywood Reporter.
Sony Pictures is reportedly the film company that would distribute the upcoming "Doc Savage" film, as reported in Comingsoon.net.

Ingevity's (NGVT) Earnings and Revenues Miss Estimates in Q4
Ingevity Corporation NGVT recorded a profit of 41 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared with 74 cents in the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted earnings in the reported quarter were 57 cents per share, down 27% year over year. The figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 90 cents.
The company’s revenues rose around 14% year over year to $383.6 million in the quarter, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $385.1 million.

The increase in prices was partly offset by lower volumes resulting from consumer destocking.

Thorpe Park has announced the closure of a legendary ride that has thrilled millions of visitors for 30 years, including members of the royal family.
Logger's Leap first opened at the Surrey-based resort in 1989 and the theme park said it was with a "heavy heart" that they said goodbye to it.
The family-friendly ride was once the country's tallest log flume featuring a record breaking 50ft drop at the finish, something all visitors seemed to love, reports Surrey Live.
Princess Diana and princes William and Harry enjoyed the ride in 1996, captured in one of the ride's many memorable photographic souvenirs.
A Thorpe Park statement said: "It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the time has come to say goodbye to a much-loved ride here at Thorpe Park Resort and what was the UK’s tallest log flume, Logger’s Leap."
To honour the memory of Logger’s Leap and in celebration of the resort’s 40th birthday this year, the resort is asking fans of the ride to help them create a memory mosaic. It will consist of photos showcasing Logger’s Leap memories from families and friends who have enjoyed the ride over the years.
Fans are invited to share their nostalgic pictures by posting on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, tagging Thorpe Park Resort and using #OneLastLeap.
Later on this year fans of the ride will have the chance to take piece of Logger’s Leap memorabilia home via an online auction (details of this to be revealed in May).
A spokesman for Thorpe Park Resort said: "We’re looking forward to everyone working with us to celebrate Logger’s Leap as well as sharing with you the unmissable new experiences set to take place at Thorpe Park Resort in 2019."

There have been calls for a presumed consent organ donation system but we must consider the ethical issues of this, says Ruhi Behi
Gordon Brown is in favour of presumed consent for organ donation. He believes that many more lives will be saved if the UK adopts the same system as countries such as Spain and Austria.
Opposition to an opt-out system is usually on ethical/moral grounds and/or because there is a lack of sufficient evidence that donation rates increase and more lives are saved with presumed consent.
Even if the evidence exists, should we as a society accept this proposed system if we have major ethical/moral concerns about it?
A recent systematic review considered the evidence and concluded that ‘presumed consent is associated with increased organ donation rates’ (Rithalia et al, 2009). However, it also found that other factors, such as ‘potential donors, the underpinning infrastructure for transplantation, wealth and investment in health care, and underlying public attitudes’, have an impact on donation rates.
The review suggests that further evidence is needed and that it would be wrong if society and the government believed we could achieve higher organ donation rates without, at the same time, doing other things. For example, we need to communicate why presumed consent is needed, how it would work and the safeguards for such a system. This information would help to encourage people not to opt out.
But should we not do more to increase organ donations in the present opt-in system? This seems to be ethically more acceptable in so far as it respects and maintains the individual’s human right to autonomy and informed decision-making.
While the opt-out system will not be cheaper, the cynic in me wonders whether cost savings are one of the reasons it is being proposed. In fact, the review demonstrated that the health service will have to spend more on changing and improving the infrastructure and increasing the resources available if the new system is to have the desired outcome.
Public attitudes to organ donation, which are influenced by ethical, moral and religious beliefs, will also make an important contribution to the success of any change.
Opting in gives us the autonomy to consent in the context of our own ethics, morals, values and any religious beliefs. An opting-out system imposes and implies that organ donation is the right thing to do and is expected as an altruistic act by all. There is coercion to comply and not stand out as lacking altruism because you have opted out. There are negative connotations for the individual who chooses to opt out.
Over a 10-year period, nearly 700 organs donated in the UK were given to foreign national private patients, according to The Daily Telegraph. Did you know this is possible? Well, it is. And that, perhaps, would cause some to see an opting-out system as an income-generating idea.
Finally, I wonder if presumed consent is the thin end of the wedge for many other things a government may want the public to do. This could be a sign of a government becoming more totalitarian.

Family of man found dead in Oro Valley 'wishes more could've been done'
ORO VALLEY, AZ (Tucson News Now) - As the family of a man found dead in Oro Valley waits for results of an autopsy, they honored his life Saturday, June 11 with a small memorial near the area where he was found. Oro Valley police found the body of 46-year-old Mark Salgado of Tucson near Magee and North Oracle Wednesday, June 8 behind a local business.
According to Lt. Kara Riley, detectives don't suspect foul play though the case is still under investigation.
"He really taught me how to see the good in people," said Salgado's son, Mark Aguilar.
Salgado's mother, Martha Pueblas, said shortly before her son's body was found, he had been missing for five days.
"We put fliers out, we walked around all the rivers, and we walked to all the bus stops," said Pueblas.
Pueblas said Salgado suffered from diabetes and was on several medications at the time of his death. She believes the heat may have played a role in his death.
She said Salgado leaves behind two children, both in their 20's, as well as a 3-year-old grandson.
"It's awful because you feel like your hands are tied and you can't do anything," said Pueblas on waiting for autopsy results. "You don't know where to look, you don't know where to go or where to call."
Aguilar called his dad 'his best friend' growing up and wishes the search efforts for his dad would've reached more people.
"It really boils down to who is missing and who is out there looking for him," said Aguilar. "It's not a story to them, it's their life. In my case, it's my dad."
The family said Salgado was reported missing to police, but were told he was not considered at-risk. Aguilar and his sister, Raquel Salgado, took to social media to share their dad's picture while he was missing and said the posts gained a great deal of response from the local community.
"I was so amazed by how many people came to help," said Aguilar. "It warmed my heart because so many people actually cared about my family. Even if they didn't know anything, they just wanted to just they had their prayers for us."
Salgado's family urges the community to take a missing person case seriously before it's too late.
"It's a person," said Aguilar. "The emotions are real behind it. It's not something to joke about. It's something to take into your own hands. It's something that you should be proactive about."
The family is in the process of organizing funeral arrangements for Salgado. For more information, click here.
