They're words that echo at the back of my consciousness, as deep as an embedded memory or a recessive gene:
It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hopes and a world of fears
That simple tune with dozens of children's voices singing along, cranked time and again over my plastic Fisher-Price record player:
There's so much that we share that it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all
Sunday night, I sang those words along with the man who co-wrote them. The Newport Beach Film Festival's annual "Another Evening of Disney Rarities" program, which screens obscure items from the studio's vault, ended this year's offering with an in-person surprise: an appearance by Richard Sherman, who sat at a modest piano below the big red curtain and plowed through snippets from "Mary Poppins," "The Jungle Book" and other classics that he helped to score.
I know some people who carry their Disney obsession well into adulthood, and though I applaud their spirit, I'm not among them. When Sherman sang "Feed the Birds" or "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers," I couldn't remember much more than a few basic notes. But when he ended his set with "It's a Small World (After All)" and invited the audience to join in, my lips took on a life of their own and started forming lyrics I thought I had forgotten decades ago:
There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone
Come on, you know them too:
Though the mountains divide and the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
Oh, what a night. And it got even better than that. But first, let me describe the show.
Last week, when I interviewed co-host Don Hahn for a preview story about the Disney program, he intentionally kept mum about most of the items on the schedule. He mentioned a Broadway rehearsal clip for "Newsies" and a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of "The Little Mermaid," but otherwise said he wanted the audience to be surprised.
So my wife and I attended the show at the 1930s-vintage Lido Theatre, and I brought my notepad in case of any unexpected moments. There turned out to be quite a few. After Mayor Keith Curry gave an opening speech, Hahn and co-host Dave Bossert stepped before the curtain to serve as emcees, punctuating the film clips with clearly rehearsed banter that was still amusing (as when Hahn explained that a ragged Elton John demo of "Circle of Life" was used in inner-city parking lots to drive criminals away).
In addition to the previously announced items, we got to view a clip from the controversial "Song of the South," about which Hahn and Bossert expressed hope for an official DVD release; in-studio recording footage of "A Whole New World" from "Aladdin"; an excerpt from the often-overlooked "A Goofy Movie" (which featured a live appearance by Bill Farmer, the voice of Goofy); the clever new Mickey Mouse cartoon "Croissant de Triomphe," and more.
(Introducing that last one, Hahn and Bossert described some of the future Mickey installments, including one whose premise I've been waiting to see for years. In "No Service," Mickey and Donald Duck get refused service at a restaurant because their attire violates the dress policy: Mickey has no shirt, Donald no shoes. For that matter, Donald doesn't wear pants. It's high time we acknowledged that these supposedly innocent cartoons advocate public nudity.)
Anyway, when the last film clip ended, the night appeared over all too quickly — but then the hosts announced Sherman, whom I had glimpsed on the red carpet Thursday evening. His appearance was doubly poignant considering that his brother, Robert Sherman, who cowrote all those classics with him, passed away last year. As soon as Sherman pounded out the last chords of "Small World," he bowed to the audience and then, through a stroke of serendipity, came and sat two rows behind me.
Someday, I may find myself a few yards from Paul McCartney or Bruce Springsteen, and then I can corner them and rave about how their songs impacted my formative years. For now, I was two rows in front of the man whose work reached me before either of theirs. I inched my way into the crowd of reporters and other admirers gathered around him, and when it looked like he was about to drift across the room, I raised my voice. "Mr. Sherman!"
He turned, and I introduced myself and handed him my card. "I have to thank you for writing that song," I said. "When I was a kid, I forced my parents to take me on that ride so many times."
Sherman grinned. "You're a glutton for punishment, aren't you?" he said.
"I'm a glutton for something," I replied. "Seriously, it's a wonderful song. Thanks for writing it."
He nodded his approval, and then others pulled him away.
As we drove home minutes later, my wife played back the iPhone video she had taken of that final number — Sherman at the piano in the corner, the audience singing along, and my painfully flat, off-key harmonies right at the forefront. It's a memory I feel privileged to have preserved on video. And it's one Disney rarity that, at least during my lifetime, will stay mercifully in the vault.

Henslein of Stotzingen (d. 1528)
Henslein of Stotzingen, an Anabaptist martyr, was beheaded at Zabern in Alsace, France, in 1528. The Martyrs' Mirror gives an admonitory address that he made on the way to the site of execution. He is the author of the song, "Nun heben wir an in Nöten" (No. 42 in the Ausbund).

This COBRE program seeks to bring together individuals with existing expertise in oxidants, redox balance, and stress signaling at the Medical University of South Carolina. Our long-term plan is to develop in South Carolina a Center of Excellence in this scientific discipline or with this scientific focus. We have constructed an infrastructure that will provide a mentoring environment for five target faculty members with research interests in calpains and diabetes signaling pathways, oxidative pathways in mitochondria, reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species and peroxiredoxins in cancer initiation, ROS/RNS and the unfolded protein response and oxidative pathways of neuronal cell death. Their projects provide interdisciplinary opportunities and are supported by three scientific cores in Proteomics, Metabolomics and Cell and Molecular Imaging. The central hypothesis is that redox regulated pathways impact significantly on the pathobiology of diseases such as cancer, aging, diabetes, inflammation, and neurodegeneration. The administrative core will facilitate a plethora of functions including, business management, faculty development, mentoring and program planning and sustainability. We have appointed oversight committees to include Steering, Internal Advisors, and External Advisors. The latter two groups contain individuals who have broad scientific expertise in the chosen discipline and also extensive mentoring experience. Future development of the program is also served by MUSC fiscal support and the creation of new and renovated space that will permit additional faculty recruitments with complementary expertise.
This project is funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.

Kenline named to Cardinal Classic All-Tournament Team
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - It came down to a fifth-set showdown in which the Tennessee Tech volleyball team held a late lead but could not finish off the Liberty Flames in the Golden Eagles first of two matches on Saturday afternoon at the Cardinal Classic. Tech dropped the marathon match, 3-2 (29-27, 22-25, 25-18, 10-25, 16-14). The Golden Eagles were also tripped up, 3-1 (25-18, 25-16, 21-25, 25-23), in their second match against Toledo to fall to 1-8 on the season.
Senior Katie Kenline earned all-tournament team honors for the third straight week after leading the team with 46 digs (3.54 digs/set) in three matches. Kenline, who surpassed 2,000 career digs in Friday's match, now has four all-tournament team honors in her career.
The first set against Liberty (4-4) was a back-and-forth battle featuring 15 tied scores and seven lead changes. With the score tied 24-24, the Golden Eagles right-side hitter Teresa Craig put down her fourth kill of the set to give Tech its first of three set-point opportunities. However, the Flames were able to side out down the stretch before capitalizing on their first set-point chance to give them the opening set, 29-27.
Craig led the team with five kills and a .714 hitting percentage in the opening stanza. Freshman Kelsey Gray added four kills with a .429 hitting percentage along with three blocks, while junior Melanie Culp handed out 14 assists.
The Golden Eagles raced out to a 7-3 lead early in the second set and extended their advantage to 12-5 on a kill by junior Leah Meffert. Liberty chipped away at TTU's lead and came within one point at 20-19, but Tech regrouped and used kills from Meffert and junior Marie Peddicord to take a three-point advantage, 22-19. The Flames kept it close at 24-22 before Meffert's fourth kill of the set evened the match at 1-1.
After Liberty took the third set by a score of 25-18, the TTU block showed up to start the fourth. The freshman duo of Katrina Dvorken and Gray teamed up for two stuffs in the first six points of the match before Peddicord and senior Amanda Lindgren roofed a Liberty attack to give Tech an 8-3 lead. Tech then capitalized on an error-prone Flames attack to take a commanding 16-4 advantage. The Golden Eagles cruised from there and fittingly wrapped up the set, 25-10, on block by Dvorken and Gray.
In the deciding set, Tech fell behind early, 6-2, but came back with four consecutive points to even the score at 6-6 thanks to a pair of kills by Lindgren. With the score tied at 8-8, the Flames committed back-to-back attack errors before Culp tipped in her first kill of the match to give TTU an 11-8 lead. Liberty cut the lead to one, 11-10, and that margin would remain until 13-12 when the Flames scored two in a row to take the late lead. Tech fought off one match point on a kill by Meffert, but Liberty converted on its second match point to take the set 16-14.
Meffert finished with her fourth double-double of the season as she led the team with 19 kills and 16 digs. Four Golden Eagles reached double figures in kills as Lindgren and Gray tallied 12 and Peddicord added 10. Lindgren hit at a .393 clip to lead all players while Craig, Gray and Peddicord all hit better than .300.
Culp finished the match with a career-high 59 assists, while Gray also set a new career-best with seven blocks.
As a team, Tech hit .262 compared to .161 for Liberty. The Golden Eagles also led in kills (64-60), assists (63-56) and digs (62-56). Both teams tallied 10 blocks.
In Tech's second match of the day, the Golden Eagles fell behind early and never could recover as they fell to undefeated Toledo (9-0) in four sets. The Rockets took the opening set 25-18 after hitting .429 as a team. In the second set, Toledo played from ahead the whole way and captured the set, 25-16. The Golden Eagles put up a solid block, stuffing four Toledo attacks, but the Rockets hit .343 with 16 kills during the frame.
Tech found new life in the third set as the team turned an 11-9 lead into an 18-13 advantage following kills by Meffert and Dvorken. However, Toledo went on a three-point run to cut the Golden Eagle lead to 18-16, causing a TTU timeout. Craig got Tech back on track with an off-speed kill out of the timeout that started a run to put the Golden Eagles ahead 23-19. Meffert and Gray combined for a block and then Meffert put down the set-winning kill to force a fourth set.
Toledo started the final set on a 4-0 run, but Tech scored six of the next eight points highlighted by a pair of kills from Craig to even the score at 6-6. The Golden Eagles kept the rally going as they won several long rallies before taking a 12-8 lead on an ace by Craig. Toledo closed the gap to one, 13-12, when Meffert smashed a ball down the sideline to win another long rally and ignite another Tech run. Meffert scored five straight points for TTU, four kills and one solo block, and Gray added a kill to put the team in front, 19-15. The Rockets evened the set at 20-20 following a four-point run before closing out the set and match, 25-23.
Meffert led the Golden Eagles attack for the third consecutive match, finishing with 19 kills. Kenline picked up 19 digs to lead the team, while Gray added a match-high six blocks.
Tech finished up its pre-conference tournament schedule and now looks forward beginning OVC play next weekend. The Golden Eagles open conference play at home on Friday at 7 p.m. against Southeast Missouri St. before meeting up with Eastern Illinois at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Though she had vowed never to make another documentary, Sandra Jaffe had an idea that wouldn't leave her alone: a film about "To Kill A Mockingbird," the beloved, controversial, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that explored the depths of racism through the eyes of a young narrator.
But Jaffe, who lives in Watertown, wondered how the message of the book would hold up nearly a half-century since its publication and a thousand miles from its setting. So she went to a Boston school and listened as students read and talked about the book. Then she asked whether they felt a connection with any of the characters.
"Yes, I can relate to Tom Robinson," she remembers a student from Saudi Arabia answering, referring to the black man falsely accused of rape in Harper Lee's 1960 novel. "When the terrorist attacks happened, I was unjustly accused of being a terrorist."
Jaffe's film, "Our Mockingbird," previewed locally this fall at the Arsenal Center for the Arts as part of the "One Book, One Watertown" program. Other events in the series, stretching across two months, included a Southern dinner and a performance of traditional black spirituals.
Jaffe hopes to finish the film's postproduction work and final fund-raising by January.
"It's a lens to look at the issues of race and class and gender, somewhat, and justice — then and now," Jaffe said. "And that part of it hasn't really changed. That's what I set out to do."
Her documentary follows two high schools — one black, one white — near Birmingham, Ala., as they join forces to perform the play based on "To Kill A Mockingbird." Jaffe also interviewed public figures, including some who talk about the play, from television host Katie Couric, whose grandmother came from Alabama, to G. Douglas Jones, who as the region's US attorney prosecuted the reopened case against two former Ku Klux Klan members charged, and eventually convicted, in the killing of four young black girls in a Birmingham church bombing in 1963.
Jaffe grew up just outside Birmingham in a time when Jim Crow laws were still enforced. She came of age during the civil rights movement, and left Alabama for college.
But as a graduate film student at Boston University in her later 20s, searching for a documentary topic, her thoughts kept returning to her home state. She ended up creating "Jazz in the Magic City," a film about a group of black musicians trained to read music in the 1920s and 1930s by the printing instructor at Birmingham's only black high school. Many of the men got jobs with big bands but later returned to teach music in the city's schools.
The documentary took five years to make, including time spent raising money, a daunting process. For more than 20 years afterward, Jaffe wrote and consulted on screenplays and taught screenwriting.
Still, she kept coming back to the idea of making another film about Alabama. After she finished a project about six years ago, she started thinking more seriously about "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Lee's novel depicts a Depression-era Southern town that convulses with the arrest and trial of Robinson, a black man unfairly charged with raping a young white woman. Lee's narrator, Scout Finch, is almost 6 years old when the book opens, and she watches as her widowed father, a lawyer, agrees to defend Robinson.
The Boston high school student's connection to Robinson reassured Jaffe that "To Kill A Mockingbird" still transcends its Southern setting and place in history. She traveled to Monroeville, Ala., Lee's hometown, and watched the Mockingbird Players perform the play based on the book. Then Jaffe heard that her old school, Mountain Brook High School, was staging the play.
"I called up the drama teacher and told her who I was and what I was doing," Jaffe said. "And she said, 'You were wondering how you were going to cast the black characters, weren't you?'"
'It's a lens to look at the issues of race and class and gender, somewhat, and justice — then and now.'
Since the school has remained as white as it was when Jaffe was a student, the drama teacher invited a black high school in a nearby town to perform with them. Jaffe filmed as the two schools rehearsed and performed.
"I think it was a self-selecting group of kids," she said. "I think that everybody there wanted to go on a journey. They didn't know what to expect, but they were ready for a journey."
Jaffe said the students were their "very best selves" throughout the production of the play. In her documentary, one white actor tells her that he has been changed by the experience, even though he could not yet comprehend how.
The book is still relevant, Jaffe believes, because students tend to read it as they're developing their own moral code.
"They're constantly faced with the question of, 'Am I going to stand up against the mob? Am I going to stand up against my friends? Am I going to stand up against bullying? Who's going to speak for the people that don't have any voice?' "
When Jaffe was raising money for her first documentary, she talked to a potential contributor who discouraged her from including archetypal black-and-white footage of Birmingham's painful civil rights history.
"She said, 'We really don't want to see any more of those hoses and dogs,' " Jaffe recalled. And her movie didn't show the infamous clips of police officers turning high-powered fire hoses and unleashing dogs on civil rights protestors, including children.
But "Our Mockingbird" does.
People often ask her how the high schools in Alabama could still be so segregated.
"Have you ever been to Roxbury?" she asks. "And Dover? It's all over the country. And kids are not getting educated on an even playing field. That is no more true in Alabama than it is anywhere else."Kathleen Burge can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Starring Barbara Hershey, Ron Silver and David Labiosa
Directed by Sidney J. Furie
Written by Frank De Felitta
Anchor Bay
Despite online chatter that an Entity remake is on the way (allegedly helmed by Ringu director Hideo Nakata), I find that hard to imagine. First, what studio is going to finance a movie about a malevolent spirit that repeatedly rapes the leading lady? Secondly, which actress would be brave enough to step into the shoes of the original's star, Barbara Hershey? While not perfect by any means, the original Entity remains a disturbing film made in a bolder time, and a new version would likely be toothless by comparison.

Hotel standards vary throughout India. Hotels in India continually try to upgrade their services and there can be ongoing renovation works throughout the year. We will endeavor to obtain rooms as far away from such activity as possible but please bear in mind that hotels run on full capacity during peak season and specific rooms can rarely be pre-booked. Hotels may be booked far off from central place.
Economy hotels are budget hotels and they may not have any star category classification obtained from the relevant authorities of Government of India. Even 2 star properties approved by the India Tourism, Government of India, can be considered as economy hotels. These hotels may provide very bare basic amenities.
Standard hotels are mainly 3 star category hotels approved by the India Tourism, Government of India. They may also include Heritage hotels, Lodges and Resorts.
Deluxe hotels can be categorized with ratings of 4 star or 5 star approved by the HRACC, India Tourism, Government of India. They may also include Heritage hotels, lodges and resorts.
Heritage hotels are set in old or historic style buildings and are categorized into grand, classic and heritage. If you would like to stay in any hotels other than those featured in the tour itinerary, or you would like to upgrade the standard of your room, this can be arranged and you will be informed of the difference in price and this would be subject to availability.
Hotels can be booked on the following occupancy basis:
For single occupancy basis, you will have to pay a single room supplement unless another tour participant is willing to share your room. You shall also be liable to pay the single room supplement if earlier having booked on a shared room basis, you later have to take the room on single occupancy basis since your intended room partner has either dropped out of the tour for any reason or since you and / or your room partner are no longer willing to share a room. Note that the single room supplement will be charged in all cases where a booking on a shared room basis has to be changed to single room basis including the following:
Intended room partner was arranged by you.
Intended room partner was arranged by us for you.
No room partner was found available for you.
A double room has either a single queen-sized bed or (2) two separate beds. If you request for a room with queen-sized bed, the same would be provided to you subject to availability as most of the hotel rooms are twin-bedded. In case of non-availability of a room with a queen-sized bed, a twin bedded-room would be given. In case of non-availability of either of them, the booking will be made based on the availability of the hotel.
We recommend a maximum of only (3) three persons in one room. Triple rooms are usually no larger than twin rooms and the third bed is often a rollaway bed or cot placed in a twin room. Some hotels do not allow a third occupant. This however is subject to the concerned hotel policy.
A child traveling for whom 'without a bed' charge has been paid would not be entitled to a separate bed in the hotel. In cases where the 'with bed' charge has been paid for the child and you decide not to avail such facility whilst on the tour, you would not be entitled to any refund. In case you decide to seek an extra bed for the child booked on 'without bed' basis on the tour subject to availability, you shall be bound to pay any additional amount charged by the concerned hotel directly.

We would not be responsible for any loss or damage whether direct, incidental or consequential caused due to transmission delays or loss of passport. The documents forwarded by you for visa purpose are sent by us to the concerned Embassy / Consulate through third parties and hence we would not be liable / responsible for loss of your documents.

Netflix has acquired the exclusive U.S. rights to movies from Walt Disney Studios films, beginning in 2016, in a three-year deal that catapults the Internet video-on-demand service into direct competition with pay-TV giants such as HBO and Showtime.
The news is a blow to the pay channel Starz, which previously had the rights to Disney movies, including its Pixar animated films and Marvel superhero pictures.
Disney has also agreed to immediately give Netflix non-exclusive streaming rights to more of its older library titles including "Dumbo," "Pocahontas" and "Alice in Wonderland."
Starz's sole remaining movie provider is now Sony Pictures. That agreement ends in 2016.

Children's publishing in India - one of the most lucrative segments in the industry - is looking out of its domestic fold for a bigger footprint in the export market of South Asia and in the developing world, even as business peaks on the domestic front.
A growing number of leading children's publishers in India are exporting activity, story and education books to countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Middle-Eastern nations, Spain, South Africa, Nigeria and to Southeast Asian countries.
Children's publishing accounts for nearly 30 percent of the US$2 billion publishing industry in the country - an estimate from the Frankfurt Book Fair, the biggest such fair in the world. In the last two decades, this segment of publishing has seen phenomenal growth, of about 20 percent a year.
The export market for children's books published in India opened up after local publishers began to exhibit their products at international book fairs, and received exposure to western production techniques and printing finesse. Matching western standards, they saw, was not difficult.
The market for children's books has expanded since 1999-2000, when Indian designers and publishers began to visit international book fairs, and western markets diverted their offshore children's deals to India, which had an edge in terms of quality, knowledge of English and visuals, said Sandeep Kaushik, CEO of Macaw Books, one of the biggest exporters of children's books in the country.
"Publishers worldwide began to use us as outsourcing companies. Then the quality thing came in... They sent their art directors here to train the designers at the production factories of books that were proliferating," Kaushik told IANS.
The finished products were printed either in India or China.
"Usually normal paperback and hardback books are published in India and children's books in China because publishing children's book needs stringent quality checks. The cost of printing books in China is encouraging as well," Kaushik said.
He makes his "export books" at his "production factory" in India and prints them in China.
India has the advantage of "low currency exchange rates and low labour costs", making prices of children's books viable in the international market", Rajiv Ahuja of Evergreen Books said. "The labour cost per capita is around US$200 compared to euro2,200 (nearly $2965.38) per head in Europe," Ahuja said.
His company exports education books to 120 CBSE schools in the Gulf and children's books in Hindi to The Netherlands, where non-profit groups are promoting Hindi among youngsters as a "foreign language", he said. The "people of Indian origin markets in the Carribbean and in Africa" are the emerging export hubs for India, Ahuja said.
In the early years, "there was not much movement in children's books in general publishing", says Neeraj Jain, managing director of Scholastic India, a leading publisher of children's books.
"It is not about the cost any more. Buyers are choosy. They look for a fun format so that the child might be attracted to the book. The focus is on visual quality and presentation," Jain said.
Export of education, activity, hobby books with digital, pop-up aids and mind games have kept publishers like Little Pearl Books, MBD Group, V.K. Global Publications and hundreds of middle-rung children's publishers above the red in a crowded market, where there are nearly 60,000 big and small publishers, across categories.
The National Book Trust, the apex body of publishing in the country that publishes in 30 languages, exports books - mostly education and children's books - to more than 100 countries, NBT director M.A. Sikandar said.
"The international market for children's books is a huge market. It opened up for us two years ago at the Frankfurt Book Fair, where we realised the potential for children's books published in India," said Madhu Magon of Little Pearl Books.
Her company's strengths of "pop-up, activity and colouring books for toddlers" have ready markets in Hong Kong and Thailand.
Radhika Menon, managing editor of Tulika Publications, believes that the interest in the international market in India and things Indian - from food, fashion, films to IT and business services - has also created a lot of interest in books by Indian authors.

I wonder if Hasbro will make a large enough batch for one straight run like the firing-rocket Boba, as it seems this is a pretty anticipated figure.
I would have to think that the mailaway forms might start showing up with the REVENGE wave. And in a way that's incredibly ironic, since the whole purpose of that wave seems geared much more towards carded collectors who will not be opening their figures.
That's neat in one way, odd in another, that he's part of Vintage but Rocket Fett isn't.
Yep, he's VC61
UPDATE: Hasbro must have realized their mistake regarding the UPCs for the Prototype Fett as the website and form now specify the qualifying asst. accepted.Collect and save the UPC codes of any 5 figures from these Star Wars action figure collections: Vintage (97568 Asst.), Saga Legends (21115 Asst.) or The Clone Wars (94736 Asst.)

Yamaha P115 Portable Digital Piano - Black
The P-115, Yamaha's follow-up to the industry's best-selling digital piano, now has its own app for iOS. An elegant touch screen controller that makes getting to the features of the P-115 simple.
P-Series has long been known for its compact and stylish lineup of products.
The P-115 is a new model that offers improved piano performance, an enhanced speaker system, simple app operation and more.
Please note the 2nd picture above shows optional L85 Stand and LP5 pedals.
Yamaha P-115 Features
- Pure CF Sound Engine - CFIIIS samples
- 192 note polyphony
- 88-Key Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) action
- Voice select panel buttons
- USB-to-host Port
- Digital piano controller app for iOS
- Line level AUX outputs
- Dual and Duo modes
- Drum Pattern Playing
- Intelligent Acoustic Control
- Duo Mode for Side-By-Side Practice
- 10 Pianist Styles
- 14 Rhythms
- 2 x 7 watt amplifiers
- Speaker on/off control
- Sound boost
- Available in Black or Spotlight White finish
Piano quality only possible from Yamaha
The Pure CF Sound Engine is the result of years of piano-making history combined with state-of-the-art sampling technology and expertise. Yamaha is the industry leader in digital piano technology, and you can hear this in the sound of digital pianos that utilize the Pure CF piano sample. The P-115 includes the sound of Yamaha's renowned CFIIIS 9' concert grand piano and is faithfully reproduced, allowing for incredible dynamics and expressiveness making Pure CF-equipped digital pianos worthy of the Yamaha name.
Authentic to the touch
Yamaha's GHS (Graded Hammer Standard) weighted action has heavier touch in the low end and lighter touch in the high end, just like the hammers inside an acoustic piano. Great for the aspiring pianist, practicing on the GHS action builds the proper finger technique for when the time comes to perform on an acoustic piano. Plus, the matte finish of the black keys are less slippery when playing for extended periods of time.
Enhanced sound system will be music to your ears
The tweeter position has been improved in the P-115 to be in line with the ears of the performer. Melody lines and treble passages are brighter and more expressive as a result. This new configuration ensures that the instrument sounds sparkle and come alive across the entire tonal range.
Groove along in performance or practice
The P-115 has on-board drum rhythms for practice or performance. There's a variety of rhythm patterns to choose, from basic rock to shuffle and swing beats. Use the rhythms to add an element of fun to your practicing, or simply use them as a virtual drummer for your performances.
Professional reverb makes a wide range of Voices sparkle
The P-115 is loaded with a variety of rich Voices, from pianos to electric pianos, organs, strings, bass and more. These Voices can be enhanced by four different reverbs that you can adjust to your preference.
ÒÇÉRecital hallÒÇæ Clear reverberation, as heard in a medium-sized hall used for piano recitals.
ÒÇÉConcert hallÒÇæ Bright, bold reverberation, as heard in a large hall where orchestras perform.
ÒÇÉSalonÒÇæ The relaxed reverberation of a large room suitable for chamber music.
ÒÇÉClubÒÇæ The crisp reverberation of a live music venue or jazz club.
Your personal dueling piano partner
You can sound like two players all by yourself using Pianist Styles. Simply play the chords in your left hand and the Pianist Style will transform them into lush accompaniment patterns. This leaves your right hand free to play other melodies and chords, or add musical flare to your Pianist Style accompaniment. On the P-115, Yamaha has carefully selected 10 types of Styles for easy, piano-like accompaniment.
Simple operation using the free Digital Piano Controller app!
Our special free app, "Digital Piano Controller," allows you to control the many functions included in Yamaha digital pianos with your iPhone or iPad, for even easier operation. Voices, rhythms and other settings can be selected while looking at the screen, making it easy to enjoy new functions with ease. You can also save your favorite settings for quick recall at any time.
Find new ways to enjoy your P-115, using iPad functions that only a modern digital instrument can provide.

- The next 'real' meeting of the Fedora-PPC team is planned at the FUDcon 2013 in Lawrence, Kansas.
Current Development
Fedora 18 is currently under development, and includes a focus on Power7 optimizations and GRUB2.
Stable Release
Fedora 17 is the latest stable release of Fedora for Power. It was announced on June 14th, 2012. Please see the release notes for additional details or download it from your closest mirror. It has been most extensively tested on IBM Power systems, but is also known to work on Apple Mac G5 systems.
Previous Releases
You can find information about previous Fedora for Power releases at Architectures/PowerPC/PreviousReleases.
Build System & Resources
All official Fedora PowerPC packages are built by the koji build system at the PowerPC koji hub
Everyone with a Fedora account can do scratch builds of packages on the PowerPC koji build system. After running fedora-packager-setup from the fedora-packager rpm
ppc-koji build --scratch f17 yourpkg.src.rpm
Scratch builds can be found here, and will be removed from koji automatically after a while.
For a build to end up in the final Fedora for Power distribution, that NVR must have been built on the primary Fedora koji and then pushed as an update for that release. koji-shadow is used by Fedora for Power to track both the stable (e.g. 'f18' during f18 branched development and 'f18-updates' after GA) and updates-testing tags of each release, as well as the current rawhide tag. If an update pushed to primary does not appear in Fedora for Power within a day or two, feel free to find dwa or Kick_ on the #fedora-ppc IRC channel for assistance.
PPC Shell access for debugging
David Woodhouse (dwmw2), Josh Boyer (jwb) or Karsten Hopp (Kick_) may provide you access to a PPC box for build debugging purposes. Just send them an e-mail with an request and a public SSH key.
