Га́нина Я́ма — общепринятое название заброшенного Исетского рудника, расположенного вблизи урочища Четыре брата в 2,5 километрах к северу от посёлка Шувакиш и в четырех километрах на юго-восток от деревни Коптяки (возле города Екатеринбурга) в России.

Считается, что здесь в ночь на 17 июля 1918 года были сброшены в шахту тела семерых членов царской семьи и четырех их слуг. Сейчас на этом месте находится Монастырь Святых Царственных Страстотерпцев.

История происхождения названия
В середине XIX века этот участок земли купил подрядчик по имени Гавриил в надежде отыскать здесь золото. Жители деревни Коптяки называли владельца рудника Ганей. Отсюда и пошло название самой большой разработки рудника — Ганиной Ямы. В конце XIX века на этом руднике добывали железную руду и жгли уголь для домны Верх-Исетского завода. В начале XX века рудник был заброшен, шахты завалились и поросли молодым лесом. Сама Ганина Яма представляла собой небольшой карьер размером 20×30 метров, заполненный дождевой водой, вокруг неё находилось более 30 старых шахт, шурфов и котлованов, в которых прежде добывали руду.

История следствия на Ганиной яме

Первое обследование
Начальный этап следствия вела группа офицеров Генерального штаба вместе со следователем Екатеринбургского окружного суда А.Намёткиным. Они опросили крестьян деревни Коптяки, которые первыми появились на месте уничтожения свидетельств расстрела, обнаружив в 100 метрах от шахты № 7 глиняную площадку с двумя кострищами. В пепле крестьяне нашли несколько драгоценных камней и платиновый крест, выложенный изумрудами. Этот крест крестьяне принесли в деревню и показали скрывавшемуся там поручику Шереметьевскому, который вспомнил, что видел такой крест на груди великой княжны Татьяны, когда она вместе с отцом присутствовала на военном смотре. Узнав о том, что Екатеринбург взят белыми войсками, поручик сразу направился в штаб и сообщил о находках вблизи Коптяков. 30 июля началось расследование обстоятельств преступления, подпадающего под действие ст. 1453 Уложения о наказаниях.

Первый осмотр Ганиной ямы проводили офицеры под руководством подполковника Игоря Бафталовского, руководство работами по выкачиванию воды из шахт поручили поручику Шереметьевскому, которому в помощь были приданы военнопленные.

При осмотре Бафталовский обратил внимание на «слишком незначительное количество золы и пепла, что определённо указывало на затрату для костров небольшого количества топлива, абсолютно недостаточного для сожжения 18 человеческих тел». Из этого был сделан вывод, что на Ганиной яме произошла лишь имитация уничтожения тел, их оттуда увезли.

То, что в кострищах были найдены драгоценности, привлечённый как свидетель бывший царский камердинер Чемодуров объяснил тем, что императрица распорядилась зашить их в складках одежды, чтобы их не нашли при обысках, проводившихся неоднократно.

Следствие Н. А. Соколова
17 января 1919 года для надзора за расследованием дела об убийстве царской семьи Верховный правитель России адмирал А. В. Колчак назначил главнокомандующего Западным фронтом генерал-лейтенанта М. К. Дитерихса.

Приказом от 6 февраля 1919 года расследование было возложено на следователя по особо важным делам Омского окружного суда Н. А. Соколова. 7 февраля Соколову в Омск были переданы от Дитерихса подлинное производство и вещественные доказательства по делу.

В тексте доклада следователя Н. А. Соколова вдовствующей Императрице Марии Феодоровне в сжатом виде так говорится о том, как происходило сокрытие улик цареубийцами:

"Когда злодеяние было совершено, трупы Августейшей Семьи и всех других были тут же положены в грузовой автомобиль, на котором Янкель Юровский вместе с некоторыми другими известными лицами увез Их за город Екатеринбург, в глухой рудник, расположенный в лесной даче, принадлежавшей некогда графине Надежде Алексеевне Стенбок-Фермор, а ныне находящиеся во владении общества Верх-Исетских акционерных заводов.

Одновременно с доставлением к руднику трупов вся местность эта была оцеплена заградительными кордонами красноармейцев, и в течение трех дней и трех ночей не позволялось ни проезжать, ни проходить по этой местности. В эти же дни, 4-6 июля, к руднику было доставлено, самое меньшее, 30 ведер бензина и 11 пудов серной кислоты. Местность, куда были доставлены трупы Августейшей Семьи, совершенно определённо и точно установлена на предварительном следствии. Она вся подверглась самому тщательному, при участии особо доверенных лиц из воинских чинов, осмотру и розыскам.

Принимая во внимание данные осмотра этой местности и совокупность обнаруженных здесь нахождений, следственная власть не питает никаких сомнений и совершенно убеждена в том, что трупы Августейших Особ и всех остальных, погибших вместе с Ними, около одной из шахт сначала расчленяли на части, а затем сжигали на кострах при помощи бензина. Трудно поддававшиеся действию огня части разрушались при помощи серной кислоты. На месте уничтожения трупов найдено много предметов, позволяющих без всякого сомнения признать этот факт. В кострищах, около них и в самой шахте обнаружены следующие предметы: а) драгоценности и части драгоценностей: одна из жемчужных серег (с бриллиантом наверху) Государыни Императрицы; раздавленные и подвергшиеся действию огня части жемчужины от другой серьги; изумрудный крест Государыни Императрицы, осыпанный бриллиантами; большой бриллиант прекрасных свойств и большой стоимости, входивший в состав другого большого украшения Государыни Императрицы; малые круглые жемчужины от ниток жемчуга; осколки рубинов, аметиста и сапфира, причём последние весьма напоминают формой и цветом камень в перстне Государя; б) части одежды, обуви и принадлежности одежды и обуви: кусочки шинели, весьма напоминающие своим цветом и добротностью шинель Алексея Николаевича; много кусков обгорелой обуви, причём в этих кусках обнаружено много винтиков, признающихся экспертами за принадлежность дорогой обуви благодаря их качеству; пуговицы, петли, кнопки, крючки, причём некоторые из пуговиц индивидуальны: принадлежат к верхнему костюму Государыни Императрицы; кнопки — прекрасной французской работы; крючки и петли — типичные предметы, ставившиеся на их костюмы портным Бризак; металлические части уничтоженных огнем корсетов: передние планшетки числом шесть; кости, пряжки и крючки от подвязок, шелк от корсетов; причём следствием установлено, что Государыня Императрица, носившая обыкновенно корсет, требовала этого неукоснительно и от Княжон, считая отсутствие его распущенностью; носила корсет и девушка Демидова; пряжки от корсетов (от подвязок) типичны по своим свойствам, они хорошей работы; пряжка от пояса Государя Императора; пряжка от пояса Алексея Николаевича, весьма индивидуальная; три пряжки от туфель, из коих одна — от туфель Государыни Императрицы, а две парные — от туфель одной из Великих Княжон; в) предметы и части их, принадлежавшие Августейшей Семье: портретная рамочка, дорожная, складная, в которой хранился у Государя Императора портрет Государыни; три образочка: Спасителя, Николая Чудотворца и Святых Мучеников Гурия, Авива и Самона, причём самые лики почти уничтожены кощунственными действиями, а на одном из образков сохранилась и подушечка с колечком для ношения его на груди; серебряная рамочка от образочка работы петроградского мастера; остатки рамочки другого образка; Уланский юбилейный значок Её Величества; маленький флакончик с английскими солями; типичный флакон зелёного стекла с Царской короной в разбитом на части виде; множество стекол от других флакончиков с солями, от рамочек и украшений, имевших стекла; прекрасно сохранившийся, несмотря на большой период времени, благодаря низкой температуре в шахте труп собачки Анастасии Николаевны Джеми, любимой собачки Государыни, подаренной Анастасии Николаевне в 1915—1916 годах одним из офицеров; эта собачка — очень маленькая, ниппонской породы; её Анастасия Николаевна обычно носила на руках.

Надо сказать, что кострищ при предварительном обследовании местности группой офицеров было обнаружено всего два и небольших размеров, и трудно было сразу предположить, что на них уничтожены останки 11 человек, рапортовал тогда подполковник Игорь Бафталовский. Сами кострища были неглубокие, следов костей и тем более зубов в них обнаружено не было, из чего был сделан вывод, что тела в кострах не сжигались, а были вывезены, а на кострах были сожжены вещи царской семьи.

Однако, по свидетельству Михаила Константиновича Дитерихса, бывшего в начале 1919 года главой комиссии по расследованию убийства царской семьи и непосредственно знакомым со всем ходом предварительного следствия

«…На поверхности площадки местами заметны свежие следы лопаты, снимавшей кусками верхний слой площадки. В одном из углублений площадки скопилось довольно много остатков от костра, что первоначально было даже принято за самый костер. В действительности же кострище было разложено позади открытой шахты, шагах в 8 от нее, по направлению к большой березе; размеры этого костра были значительные, не менее 3 аршин в диаметре. Когда костер прогорел, то его, видимо, раскидали, а место кострища, оставшиеся угольки и пепел присыпали свежей глиной с площадки. На краю места кострища Наметкин и увидел в августе как бы перегоревшее совершенно ребро.
Другой костер был подальше; под старой березой; по размерам он, вероятно, был не менее первого, а может быть даже и больше. Но его Исаак Голощекин не разбрасывал, как первый костер; его нашли цельным и разбросали уже крестьяне деревни Коптяков. <…> Логические окончательные выводы из приведенных примеров довольно ясны: в первом случае на кострище у шахты сжигалась обувь Великих Княжен, а во втором — пуля попала в кострище, выпав из сжигавшегося тела».

Кроме того, в кострищах и около них найдены: револьверные пули системы "наган", оболочки от пуль и множество расплавленного в огне свинца. Наконец, найден человеческий палец и два кусочка человеческой кожи. Научная экспертиза признала, что палец этот отрезан от руки и принадлежит женщине средних лет, имевшей тонкие, длинные, красивые пальцы, знакомые с маникюром. Перед самым оставлением г. Екатеринбурга в сем году, прервавшим, к сожалению, дальнейшие розыски, найдено много рубленых и, возможно, пиленых костей, природу коих надлежит определить в ближайшем будущем в условиях существующей возможности. Все кости подверглись разрушительному действию огня, но, возможно, и кислот. Нахождение на руднике драгоценностей, частей их и пуль представляется следственной власти ясным».</blockquote>

По приказу Дитерихса Соколов эвакуировался из Екатеринбурга 11 июля 1919 года и вывез все акты подлинных следственных производств вместе с вещественными доказательствами. Затем принимал участие в вывозе материалов в марте 1920 года из Харбина в Западную Европу и обеспечении их сохранности.

Именно благодаря кропотливой работе Н. А. Соколова стали впервые известны подробности расстрела и захоронения царской семьи. Он их подробно изложил в своей книге «Убийство Царской Семьи».

Основание монастыря
В августе 2000 года на Архиерейском Соборе Русской православной церкви были прославлены в лике страстотерпцев Николай II и его семья. 23 сентября 2000 года, во время своего визита на уральскую землю, патриарх Алексий II посетил урочище Ганина яма и, благословив учреждение монашеской обители, поставил свою подпись на генеральном плане монастыря. Строителем монастыря стал схиигумен Сергий (Романов). Первый камень монастыря был заложен 1 октября 2000 года, 27 декабря Священный Синод официально «благословил открытие мужского монастыря во имя Царственных страстотерпцев в урочище Ганина яма», 28 декабря здесь был учрежден мужской монастырь Святых Царственных Страстотерпцев.

На территории монастыря находится Открытая шахта № 7 — так она именуется Н. А. Соколовым в материалах расследования обстоятельств гибели Царской семьи, где были обнаружены улики преступления.

Сейчас в монастыре действует семь храмов — по количеству убитых членов царской семьи.

Exchange Server 2010 provides new and improved features that help to keep stored data secure and available. New features like Database Availability Groups (DAGs) enable off-site data redundancy and help ensure that Exchange customers won't lose data. Many disaster recovery plans will continue to include more traditional backup and restore methods and systems. You can use the information in this SDK to create backup, restore, and recovery systems that use Exchange Server and Windows Server operating system technologies.
What's New — Summarizes documentation changes in this release of the Exchange 2010 Backup and Restore SDK.
Introduction to Exchange 2010 Backup and Restore — Introduces the technologies and features that Exchange 2010 and the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) provide for creating backup, restore, and recovery systems.
Backup, Restore and Recovery Concepts — Describes the underlying concepts and mechanisms that are needed to create VSS-based backup and restore applications that work with Exchange 2010.
Working With Backup and Restore — Describes the ways that your application interacts with Exchange 2010 and Windows Server 2008 to perform database backup, restore, and recovery operations.
Reference — Provides detailed information about the Exchange 2010 database consistency check API that is provided in Exchange 2010. Backup and restore applications can use this API to ensure that databases and their log files are consistent before they are backed up. After databases are restored, applications can use the consistency check API to help ensure that Exchange can recover and mount the databases without problems.
The maximum number of databases that can be mounted on a single Exchange 2010 server has been increased to from 50 to 100.
Configuration settings for Exchange server databases are now stored in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
Database mobility features, including Database Availability Groups (DAGs), provide more flexible and more reliable database replication. For databases in a DAG that has two or more healthy copies, the database consistency checking step can even be skipped.
Improved internal database integrity checking reduces the likelihood that any database corruption will be included in backup images. This helps reduce the need to take a database offline to perform consistency checking by using the CHKSGFILES API or the ESEUTIL application.
For more information about these and other changes, see Introduction to VSS Backup and Restore.
Streaming database backup and restore.
Storage Groups. Each Exchange store database is managed separately in Exchange 2010.

Some development technologies that shipped in earlier versions of Exchange Server are not included in Exchange 2010.
These technologies are not documented in the Exchange 2010 Backup and Restore SDK. Any references to these technologies in the documentation are in error. For migration information, see the Developer roadmap for Exchange.


"I am not a slave," she said.
Certainly she was not a legal slave, or at least not yet. She was not, technically, at least at present, a slave in the eyes of the law, as an animal is an animal in the eyes of the law, a tarsk a tarsk, a vulo, so soft and pretty, a vulo.
"Men are not my masters," she said.


If payment of a child support obligation leaves a parent with a net income below the poverty line, Nebraska courts can consider specific costs related to supporting the child to get the parent back above the line. Supervised visitation is not one of those costs.
A substantial change of circumstances must occur for a child support order to be modified. The father appealed an order modifying his support arguing that there was no substantial change of circumstances. His income had increased, but it increased some time ago.
The burden of proof in a child support contempt hearing shifts to the non-paying parent once a court enters an order to appear and show cause. The father appealed a contempt order. He argued he didn't have the ability to pay the support or the purge condition.
The FY 2017 Preliminary Report provides data for the past five fiscal years reported by state, District of Columbia, and U.S. territory child support programs and includes information on collections, expenditures, paternities, orders established, and other program statistics. The data is used to develop the Annual Report to Congress.
OCSE collects data from state child support agencies on the number of support orders that do not have a dollar support amount, referred to as zero orders. These may reflect different types of orders – medical support only, shared custody, arrears only, or current support with no amount due. Zero orders have been increasing over time within the child support program. Today, they represent 10% of support orders nationally. This Story Behind the Numbers explores this trend and examines why zero orders have become more common in the child support program.
Adequate findings must support the determination of an arrearage amount. The father appealed an order setting arrears. The arrears were determined in a modification order, but the state filed to alter/amend the arrears amount.
Child support cannot be modified without court permission even when the number of children for whom the parent is responsible changes. The parent must file for a modification, provide notice to the other parents, and prove a significant variance.
Findings must support a court's determination of an asset as income for child support purposes. The mother and the father were divorced, and the trial court set child support.
Competent evidence must support the finding of income for child support purposes. A parent should receive credit for maintaining health insurance for the children.

Ask About 2022 Ford Escape
Safety and Driver-Assist
The compact SUV segment is one of the healthiest in the automotive industry, with dozens of options to satisfy every driving need and budget. The 2022 Ford Escape finds itself at the top of the segment thanks to its versatility–it's an efficient weekday warrior and an adventurous weekend chariot. This versatility only gets better when you discover everything the Escape has to offer and how it continues the Ford legacy.
Now in its fourth generation, the Escape made its debut in the Ford lineup in 2001 at a time when the demand for compact SUVs was minimal. The Escape showcased Ford's incredible insight in delivering a vehicle that was designed to meet all of life's demands. This first Escape was capable of light, off-road adventures with its available four-wheel-drive and promised exceptional efficiency that made it an ideal commuter vehicle throughout the week. It was everything a driver could ask for in a vehicle, and Ford knew it.
The Escape attracted drivers to the small SUV segment and, after over two decades, continues to do so. The 2022 Escape embodies the SUV's rich history in the Ford lineup by blending capability and versatility with affordability and practicality. We see this firsthand in the Escape's starting price of $26,010, which gets you behind the wheel of a well-equipped model replete with modern conveniences and cutting-edge technology.* Add in the Escape's hybrid and plug-in hybrid options, and there's no question that the Escape has earned its place as one of the most popular, practical, and affordable models in the segment.
Torque (lb-ft)
Fuel Economy (mpg)
$26,010*
Turbocharged Options
With four available powertrains, Ford ensures the 2022 Escape can handle all the demands of your life and the road ahead. The Escape comes standard with Ford's 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The EcoBoost offers a unique balance of power and efficiency thanks to automatic start-stop technology that reduces emissions and fuel consumption by shutting off the engine when the Escape is stopped. When your foot moves from the brake to the accelerator pedal, the engine seamlessly restarts to deliver up to 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque with an average fuel economy of 28 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway.
The Escape's versatility truly shines when equipped with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine and the Class II Trailer Tow Package that makes the SUV capable of hauling up to 3,500 pounds. Like the 1.5-liter engine, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost offers the same automatic start-stop technology that optimizes power and efficiency to deliver 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque for quick acceleration and effortless handling. This power doesn't drastically impact the SUV's fuel economy, with the model averaging 22 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway.
Hybrid Options
For those who prioritize efficiency, there are two exceptional options in the Escape lineup–the hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. The hybrid 2.5-liter Atkinson-Cycle engine is mated to an electric motor and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission. Maximizing efficiency, the hybrid powertrain delivers 200 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque with an average fuel economy of 44 MPG in the city and 37 MPG on the highway.
The Escape's plug-in hybrid powertrain is truly impressive and ushers the Escape into a greener, electrified future. The plug-in 2.5-liter Atkinson-Cycle engine delivers 221 horsepower, 155 lb-ft of torque, and is rated for 105 MPGe. As far as plugging in the hybrid, Ford makes it easy with the standard 110-volt Level 1 charger taking under 11 hours to fully charge, while the 240-volt Level 2 charger can charge the Escape in under five hours.
A High-Tech Experience
The 2022 Escape is laden with innovative technology that's designed to keep you connected, informed, and focused when you're in the driver's seat. This technology stretches from the Escape's infotainment system and expansive displays to the active and passive safety features that work behind the scenes. Together, these features add outstanding value to the Escape and give you the confidence you need to navigate the road ahead.
Ford puts all the tools you need within reach, starting with the expansive 8-inch center touchscreen display that's home to Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system. Through the system, you'll have access to your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, navigation, and a host of in-vehicle apps. Tools like Ford+Alexa equip the Escape with a virtual assistant that can make calls, respond to text messages, stream your favorite music, control your smart home devices, schedule appointments, and more with a simple voice command.
Beyond Infotainment
Beyond the center display, the Escape makes it easy to keep your eyes on the road with the available head-up display and the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, the latter of which is fully customizable. The head-up display, which is included on the Titanium trim's Elite package, gives you vital information like your speed and mileage in a crisp display on the windshield in front of you. You'll also see incoming calls, navigation cues, and notifications from tools like the Lane-Keeping System and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go.
Modern conveniences are also plentiful in the Escape and include upgrades like the available wireless charging pad in the center console that makes it easy to keep your device charged and ready to go at all times. Through the center touchscreen display or your smartphone, you'll have more access to the Escape in the palm of your hand via FordPass Connect. The tool equips the Escape with an available 4G LTE WiFi hotspot that can support up to ten devices within 50 feet of the vehicle. This means that you and your passengers are always connected, making the Escape a mobile office and entertainment venue for every mile ahead.
Cutting-Edge Technologies
Having confidence in the driver's seat is truly priceless, and Ford knows it. That's why you'll find the 2022 Escape is equipped with a vast suite of cutting-edge safety and driver-assist tools that are designed to engineer confidence and peace of mind when you're behind the wheel. You know that your safety is a top priority when you're in the Escape, whether you're navigating your morning commute, picking the kids up from school, running errands in town, or setting out on a weekend getaway with friends.
The Escape's safety and driver-assist tools are part of Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite and work to enhance visibility and minimize the potential for collision. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking constantly scans the road ahead and alerts you to potential hazards like vehicles or pedestrians in your path. If you fail to respond and a collision is imminent, the system can engage the brakes automatically and bring the Escape to a controlled stop. If traffic slows quickly and there's little time to react, Evasive Steering Assist provides added steering support to help you maneuver around vehicles or other objects in your path.
Making Driving Safer
Ford's Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert adds an extra set of eyes to the Escape. By constantly keeping an eye on your blind spots, the tool makes changing lanes and merging into traffic easier by alerting you to obstacles in your way. Cross-Traffic Alert is especially helpful when you're backing out of a parking space in a busy area, as is the Escape's standard Rear View Camera. Ford takes the guesswork out of parking the Escape with Active Park Assist 2.0, which can locate a parking spot and navigate the SUV into the spot while you control the brakes.
Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to make cruising at highway speeds less stressful by improving how we use traditional cruise control. Instead of constantly having to set and reset your cruising speed, the system constantly monitors the flow of traffic ahead and adjusts the Escape's cruising speed as needed. What's truly impressive is that it works in stop-and-go traffic and can effortlessly bring the Escape to a stop and then resume the set speed once it's safe to do so.

More Cool Hotels for Palma
Submitted by Stephen White on March 12, 2014 - 09:25
Two New Boutique Hotels planned for the Plaza de Cort
Palma really is on the up and up as a 365 day a year holiday destination judging by the number of top class bars, restaurants, shops, cafes and hotels opening up in the city to meet the needs and desires of today's savvy travellers.
An ideal city break destination all year round, Palma has experienced a boom in new urban hotel construction and conversion of some marvellous old buildings into chic, urbane accommodation for people with style and a bit of cash!
Now the city appears to have achieved 'critical mass' and the latest area of Palma to have 'fashion' status bestowed upon it is the Plaza de Cort, home of the Town Hall and the Cort Olive. Plans are in progress for not one, but two boutique hotels to join the recently opened Cort Hotel (photo above) in this elegant square.
Some months ago it was announced that the Cappuccino Group had acquired a plot on the plaza occupied by the facade of an old building, part demolished since 2008. Originally purchased by a company intending to construct luxury apartments, conversion work on it was halted when archaeological remains dating back 400 years were discovered and when the recession came and funds were harder to come by, the building remained shored up by scaffolding. My photo was taken in January 2009!
The all conquering Cappuccino group intends to construct a boutique hotel on site with the ground floor given over to a Grand Cafe with a large terrace on the square. Just across from it, the owners of the Cort Hotel now plan to convert a former municipal building Can Bauza into another modern hotel, to be known as S'Olivera, following the success of the Cort.
It's certainly a shot in the arm for the square and area in general, as three cool hotels with elegant terraces in a traffic free (apart from official cars) plaza are sure to draw a clientele with high acquisitive powers and will keep tourist authorities, who stress Palma's all year round appeal to visitors, completely happy.

"Kill God Ascend" is the 5th full-length album from Australian electro-industrial band SHIV-R. What the killing of God means to each listener will be a unique and personal revelation. In a world full of gatekeepers and figureheads whose only interest in you is to tell you what to do, illusions will need to be shed and those who profess to have all the answers will need to be confronted.
While not offering any answers, SHIV-R's newest release comes with a statement courtesy of the album's 6th track, "Empire":
"I'm on my own path. Get the fuck out of my way."

Australian industrial act SHIV-R return in 2017 with their 4th full-length album "Requiem for the Hyperreal", serving as both a fascinated documentation of the power of delusion and a desperate cry for something real. The album comes after extensive touring of over 20 countries in Europe and North & Central America since their last album, and heavy rotation on alternative dancefloors with their most recent release "On Blackened Wings" hitting #1 in the DAC (German Alternative Charts) in 2015.
At the core of SHIV-R are Pete Crane (vocals & music) and Ben Bulig (music), driven by the need for self-expression and pushing for musical evolution. The music hits PRODIGY-style depth charges and EBM club elements on its way to IAMX-style expressiveness and vocal hooks that wouldn't sound out of place if sung by MARILYN MANSON. Presented with a provocatively dark, lace-filtered visual style, the group is altogether monstrously seductive.
The 12 songs on "Requiem for the Hyperreal" weave a dark, dynamic tapestry that varies from the industrial drive of "Malediction" to the musicbox slither of "Milk and Honey", with Pete Crane's lyrics describing a personification of fear over swampy textures in the song "Here in the Dark" and carving out a manifesto for self-creation over the heavy, broken beats of "Something to Say".
Far from a dream, "Requiem for a Hyperreality" will hit the real world digitally and physically in September 2017.

Free Roulette Online Rating: How to Play Online Roulette Even though the first thing you need to play roulette online is luck, there are still some rules that you should know to increase your odds and winnings when you are playing online roulette for real money or just get more fun when you are playing no download free roulette.
Online Roulette Variations There are several kinds of roulette popular both in online and land-based casinos in Canada and outside. The European roulette is the classic wheel with 37 pockets numbered from 0 to 36 and 10 possible betting options. Most players often assume that European and French Roulette are completely the same — looking at the house edge, this is not entirely wrong, however French Roulette includes two rules that are characteristic for this version alone:.
Now, as gambling has expanded to the realms of cyber universe, the possibilities are practically endless, and Roulette players can easily find a number of Roulette variations in online casinos — Double Wheel, Speed, Mini, Multi, Progressive. Not to be confused with the strategic skills that one has to employ in the game of Blackjack or Poker, Roulette strategies mostly refer to betting systems, such as Martingale, Grand Martingale and James Bond Strategy.
Therefore, they rest on the principle of increasing the stake after every losing spin. In Martingale betting strategy, the stake will be doubled, while those who employ Grand Martingale to their gameplay will double the stake and add the original amount to their overall wager. Splitting your stakes across the table is known as James Bond strategy — using this system will cover a wider range of numbers and only generate loses that should not be difficult to recover from.
Caesars Palace and Bellagio will certainly not disappoint with their offer, and for those who live on the East Coast, Tropicana Casino, Borgata, Golden Nugget and Caesars Atlantic City Casino will certainly give you the run for your money and provide you with possibly the best Roulette experience of your life. If all of this is a bit out of your league, do not be discouraged — many online casinos have a separate Live Dealer offer, which enables any account holder to play at the actual casino table broadcast live from the most exclusive international resorts and brick and mortar casinos.

As well as roulette, we have several other free online casino table games too. You can see these listed below:.
Roulette Probably one of the most fascinating and intriguing games of chance of all times, Roulette, or rather a crude version of it, can be traced all the way back to Ancient Rome, when Roman soldiers used their shields for entertaining purposes.
Most popular Roulette variants The two main Roulette variants that you will find in pretty much every brick and mortar casino are American and French Roulette, the latter often being confused with the European Roulette. American Roulette There are altogether 38 numbers in this version of the game, including 0 and 00, arranged in pairs of odd and even numbers and distributed across red and black table areas.
French vs European Roulette The first thing that you will notice when comparing French to American version is the absence of double zero, making French Roulette a preferred variant of Roulette for the majority of players. Most players often assume that European and French Roulette are completely the same — looking at the house edge, this is not entirely wrong, however French Roulette includes two rules that are characteristic for this version alone: Most popular Roulette strategies Not to be confused with the strategic skills that one has to employ in the game of Blackjack or Poker, Roulette strategies mostly refer to betting systems, such as Martingale, Grand Martingale and James Bond Strategy.

Q: multiple kivy drop down So I'm trying to write a simple code using the kivy framework, my code looks through a dictionary for a certain value that tell my code at a later stage which dictionary values need to be outputted as a drop down menu and which dict values just need to be outputted as a regular label and text input. Now the problem lies when the dictionary I am looking through describes more than one value that need to be a drop down. How i want the drop down to work is when a value is selected in the drop down the button that triggers the drop down must change text, to the text of the button that was clicked. Here is the code, I decided to write a simpler version for readabily. I wanted to type this underneath the code but i really suck at writing questions on stack Over Flow. The code you about to look at creates two buttons(that trigger drop downs), One named group 0 and another named group 1, however when i click the one of the drop down buttons under group 0, the group 1 text attribute changes, but I want to actually change the text attribute of the group 0 button. I have a rep of not making sense when i explain so let me know if you need clarity, any help would be appreciated.
from kivy.app import App

from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout

test_floatie = FloatLayout()
# We wanna create 2 button that trigger a drop down
i = 0

# The loop that creates the two buttons
while i < 2:

# Create a drop down
    dropdown = DropDown()
    for index in range(10):

        # Creating our button
        btn = Button(text="Button"+str(index), size_hint_y=None, height=44)

        # Sending button info to dropdown select function
        btn.bind(on_release=lambda btn: dropdown.select(btn.text))

        # Closing drop down after selection
        btn.bind(on_release=dropdown.dismiss)

        # Adding buttons to the drop down
        dropdown.add_widget(btn)

    # Simple if statement for positioning
    if i == 0:
        position = "left"
    else:
        position = "right"

    print(dropButton)

    # Binding the button to a function that triggers the drop down
    dropButton.bind(on_release=dropdown.open)

    # Using the drop down select function to change the text of the button that triggers the drop down
    dropdown.bind(on_select=lambda instance, x: setattr(dropButton, "text", x))

    test_floatie.add_widget(dropButton)

    i = i +1

# Running la app
class MainApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return test_floatie

A: Simplified your code a little:
from functools import partial

test_floatie = FloatLayout()
# We wanna create 2 button that trigger a drop down

def select(drop_button, text, btn):
    drop_button.text = text

# The loop that creates the two buttons
for position in ["left", "right"]:
    # The button that triggers the drop down
    dropButton = Button(text="Group " + position, size_hint=(0.4, 0.3),
                        pos_hint={"top": 1, position: 1})

    # Create a drop down
    dropdown = DropDown()
    for index in range(10):
        # Creating our button
        btn = Button(text=position + str(index), size_hint_y=None, height=44)

        # Sending button info to dropdown select function
        # btn.bind(on_release=lambda btn: setattr(dropButton, "text", btn.text))
        # btn.bind(on_release=lambda btn: select(dropButton, btn.text, btn))
        btn.bind(on_release=partial(select, dropButton, btn.text))

        # Closing drop down after selection
        btn.bind(on_release=dropdown.dismiss)

        # Adding buttons to the drop down
        dropdown.add_widget(btn)

    # Binding the button to a function that triggers the drop down
    dropButton.bind(on_release=dropdown.open)

    test_floatie.add_widget(dropButton)

# Running la app
class MainApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return test_floatie

MainApp().run()

Note the use of partial instead of the commented out lambda.
It looks like they accomplice the same thing, but they don't.. (see here)

If you are creating callbacks in a loop, and using a loop variable as an argument for the callback, then you should use partial. lambda evaluates the variable at runtime, whereas partial evaluates when the partial function is created.

I went trillium hunting at Warwoman Dell. I did find a few just starting to come up but, none with flowers on them. One had a bud. On the right is a photo of a clump of Round Leaved Violets that was growing along the trail. Trail conditions are fairly poor as several trees have fallen across it during the winter. In a couple of weeks I expect the trilliums to really begin their season of blooms.
Love those round leaved violets! Glad you shared them here!

10 Interesting Facts about Samoa.
FactsKing.com / Facts About Countries & Territories / 10 Interesting Facts about Samoa
The Independent State of Samoa is a group of islands in the South Pacific Ocean, halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand, and occupies an almost central position within Polynesia. Savai'i and Upolu are the two main islands, with three-quarters of the population living in Upolu. Savai'i is the largest and highest in the Samoan Islands. There are also four smaller islands, two of which are uninhabited. Samoans are basically happy people and they live by a code that is centered on family, faith, and culture.
Samoa Facts
1. The traditional house of Samoans has no walls
The people of Samoa live in a house called "fale." It is usually round or oval in shape with pebble floors and a thatch roof supported by wooden posts, but it has no walls. The area is very open and the only protection from a bad weather is blinds made from coconut leaves. Ropes made from dried coconut fibers were woven tight, often with a complex pattern for design, around the wooden frame to bind the structure together.
2. Tattooing was a rite of passage for a man
A fun fact about Samoa is that the art of tattooing or "tatau" is very much a part of Samoan culture. Traditionally, it was a symbol of social status in the community. In males, it was considered a rite of passage from adolescence into adulthood given that it was a painful process that often took weeks or months to finish. The Pe'a or tattoo for males is often intricate in design and covers the body from the upper waist area to the knees. Each tattoo is beautiful and unique, and has special meaning for the wearer.
3. Samoa has a third gender
Fa'afafine is regarded as the third gender in Samoa. The term basically means "in the manner of a woman." They consider themselves different from homosexuals in that they have a complete separate gender identity. The third gender has been widely accepted in Samoan culture for generations and as relevant as male and female.
4. It has its own ancient pyramid
Hidden deep within the thick jungle of the island of Savai'i is the largest ancient structure in the South Pacific known as the Pulemelei Mound or Tia Seu Ancient Mound. It is pyramidal in shape with a vast base measuring 65 meters by 60 meters that supports multiple layers of basalt stones to a height of 12 meters. When you look at it from above, it has a star shape, so it is also called star mound or star pyramid. The top was flat, which might have been used for religious ceremonies.
5. Men wear skirts in Samoa
It is not unusual for the traditional Samoan men to wear skirts whether in private or public. Also, they wear it with pride, an interesting fact about Samoa. The men's skirt is called "lavalava," which means cloth that wraps around. It is essentially a single rectangular cloth worn as a skirt and secured around the waist by knotting the upper corners. The design and length of the skirt that they wore would depend upon the occasion or the activity.
6. Samoans skipped a day in December 2011
As the clock struck midnight on December 29, 2011, a fun fact about Samoa is that they fast forwarded to December 31 as they crossed the International Date Line. Samoa went from being the last place on earth to see the sun set to being one of the firsts to welcome the new day. Losing a day made people born on December 30 missed out on celebrating their birthdays that year. The move from east to west of the International Date Line was to align their time zone with their biggest trading partners, Australia and New Zealand; thus, making it easier to conduct business with them.
7. The People of Samoa celebrated July 4 twice in 1892
The American traders persuaded the king of Samoa in 1892 to make the move from the western side to the eastern side of the International Date Line in order to better facilitate business with the United States. The switch happened on July 4, which gained the Samoans an extra day that year and enabled them to celebrate the U.S. Independence twice.
8. They celebrate all things Samoan at the Teuila Festival
An annual event is held every September to celebrate the nation's culture through dance, music, food, and craft. The Teuila Festival, named after their national flower, Teuila or red ginger, is usually a week-long event that features the best that Samoans have to offer. The festivities include their traditional dance and the "siva afi" or fire knife dance, where the performers do acrobatic stunts or dance while twirling knives that are set afire on both ends. You get to learn about "umu" or the traditional way of cooking food by the locals using earth oven. There are also weaving, wood carving, and tattooing demonstrations. The shows and activities are held across the country.
9. Samoa and American Samoa are different
An interesting fact about Samoa is that the Samoan Islands were partitioned in 1899 with the western islands becoming a German colony and the eastern islands becoming a territory of the United States. In 1914, New Zealand took control of Western Samoa until 1962 when Samoans gained their independence. And in 1997, the government amended their constitution and changed their name from Western Samoa to Samoa.
10. Author of Treasure Island found a home in Samoa
Robert Louis Stevenson was a Scottish novelist who wrote the popular fiction Treasure Island and the Strange case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. In 1889, his family settled in the island of Upolu. Robert bought more than a hundred hectares of land and named his estate Vailima. He took the name Tusitala, which is Samoan for "Writer of Tales." He was well respected and loved by the people. The locals consulted him for advice and he became genuinely interested in their customs and politics. In December 3, 1894, he died at the age of 44 and was buried on a spot at Mount Vaea overlooking the sea. The words written on his tomb are from his poem, "Requiem," and were translated to a Samoan song of grief. His Vailima home is now a museum dedicated to the final years of his life there.
Family is everything to the people of Samoa, and their communal way of living shows that. The extended family lives and works together, with their elders greatly respected. This is the "Fa'a Samoa" or The Samoan Way. They put much value on their culture and traditions, which is why their nation continues to thrive.

lifestyle /Yachting VSY 65m Waterecho Concept – A paradigm of comfort and sustainability Now well-established as an industry standard in the wake of its forerunner, Stella Maris, the VSY family line has just expanded to welcome the new VSY 65M WATERECHO to the range.
Featuring exquisite exterior lines by Espen Oeino and the interior design by the Italian designers Dante O. Benini & Partners Architects, as an option, the VSY 65M WATERECHO represents a consolidation of all the shipyard's know-how to date, leveraging their most successful solutions with a new creative flair, and providing bespoke, distinctive elements in pursuance of two objectives right from the outset of the concept.
The first is to create a superyacht crafted to meet the tangible criteria of today's yacht building sustainability. Unquestionably, this theme finds VSY as one of the most authoritative advocates in the nautical sector: in particular, in this project, this translates into utmost attention paid to the minimisation of the environmental impact generated over the whole lifecycle of the vessel.
Secondly, the entire architectural development of the craft is shaped by the on board space configuration, engineered for both functionality and extreme versatility, in order to guarantee the owners and their guests the exotic delight of a seafaring life combined with maximum privacy. The optimisation of volumes and purposeful arrangement of the spaces invite moments of pure relaxation in close contact with nature, while at the same time enhancing the fun and whole social side of a cruise, with generous areas specially conceived for convivial, leisure, and sports activities.
With comfort as a chief design guideline, certain layout elements clearly embody and substantiate such vision. Developed on two levels just forward of the main deck, the owner's cabin rises uniquely over 4 meters high, a distinctive touch which offers a wider surface thanks to the mezzanine that grants access to a private foredeck. This is a concrete example of the overstepping fluidity of the volumes of this yacht, which flare to every direction and amplify the dynamic perception of space.
The spaciousness of the main salon is another case in point: it boasts an area covering 100 square meters, allowing for a seamless panoramic view, reaching as far as the eye can see towards aft and through the flanks, equipped with openings for direct access to the sidewalks.
Absolute comfort and true sustainability are not only the core values that inspired the creation of the new VSY 65M WATERECHO, but also an integral part of its operation. Driven by its instinct for innovation, the shipyard devised this project having in mind an owner with a strong character and personality, who stands out for their conscious, unique and groundbreaking choices, but who, above all, is deeply in love with the sea.
We offer a comprehensive suite of international yacht services, including bespoke yacht charter, yacht acquisition and management services, as well as, personal introductions to yacht specialists. For more information, please get in touch with our lifestyle team.
We are a leading boutique concierge offering luxury lifestyle management services to select members worldwide. Enjoy an unrivalled global 365/24/7 service.

Sukup Manufacturing Co. is the world's largest family-owned and operated manufacturer of grain storage, grain drying and handling equipment, and steel buildings.
L – R: Steve Sukup, Emily Schmitt, Mary Sukup, Andy Schmitt, Charles Sukup, Nick Sukup, Andrew Sukup, Matt Koch
Sukup's focus in manufacturing has been to create a highly advanced, world-class manufacturing facility. The manufacturing facilities in Sheffield, Iowa, include a number of welding robots, Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machining centers, CNC punching centers, lasers, and numerous roll-forming machines. The company also utilizes progressive dies to accelerate production of high-usage parts. Sukup operates in more than one million square feet of office, manufacturing, and warehouse space worldwide.
One of Sukup's assets is its long-term employees. Nearly 30% of full-time employees have been with the company for more than 10 years. Sukup equipment is built by people who understand their jobs and the important role they play in manufacturing a successful product for the agricultural industry. As a family-owned and operated company, Sukup prioritizes taking care of its employees [Join Team Sukup], including an on-site health clinic at the manufacturing facility and have invited employees on a trip to Hawaii with their spouse after 10 years of full-time employment.
Ultimately, the key to Sukup Manufacturing Co.'s success has been its culture of innovation. Sukup has held more than 100 U.S. patents, and continues finding ways to make grain storage, drying, and handling more safe, profitable and efficient for farmers and the agricultural industry.
Eugene Sukup, a young farmer, bought his first grain bin in 1962 to dry and store shelled corn. Unfortunately, he found drying to be slow, and pockets of grain began to overheat and spoil. To solve this problem, he modified a stoker auger from a coal furnace and inserted it in an electric drill. Then, using a chain, he hung it from the top of the bin to loosen the hot spots and prevent spoilage.
Eugene began making the stirring augers at a local welding shop in Sheffield, Iowa. He sold five units to a local bin dealer for $29 each; but when he went back to check on them, he found that only three had sold and one had been returned. So, Eugene went back to the drawing board. He came up with the idea of adding a horizontal auger through the handle of the drill to make it automatic. He patented the idea for the Stirway® stirring machine, and Eugene and Mary Sukup founded Sukup Manufacturing Co. in 1963.
After serving as the President of his company for 32 years, Eugene Sukup turned over the position to his son, Charles, in 1995. His son Steve served as the company Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Eugene held the role of Chairman of the Board, and was active in the business until passing away in July 2018. Eugene's wife of more than 66 years, Mary, served as Corporate Secretary. Charles primarily focused on engineering and sales, while Steve led financial operations and manufacturing.
Sukup continued to expand the company to include a full line of grain handling products, including dryers in 1998. Sukup's award-winning dryers and control systems ultimately set the standard as a technology leader in agriculture.
Steve also served in the Iowa Legislature from 1994-2002 and was Speaker Pro Tem of the Iowa House of Representatives.
Throughout the years, Sukup Manufacturing Co. has continually grown and expanded its product offerings in grain handling and drying. In 2001, Sukup took a significant step and began manufacturing the grain bins themselves.
The company built its bin manufacturing lines with the most efficient roll-forming equipment to create extremely tight tolerances and make Sukup bins the best-fitting and easiest to assemble in the industry.
Sukup quickly gained market share and was within the top three grain bin companies by sales volume within a few years. The company's success in the grain bin line has been a result of an emphasis on providing a "one stop shop" for grain storage and handling needs, and becoming an innovation leader in the bin industry with multiple patented features.
On February 1, 2020, Charles Sukup transitioned to Chairman of the Board, and Steve Sukup assumed the role of President and CEO. Steve's daughter Emily Schmitt (general counsel) and sons-in-law Andy Schmitt (supply chain manager) and Matt Koch (senior electrical engineer) hold leadership roles at the company. Charles' son Andrew Sukup and Steve's son Nick Sukup are active in production.
Sukup Manufacturing Co. has kept its home in Sheffield, Iowa, the same community where Eugene and Mary founded the company in 1963. It employs more than 600 people, and established Sukup Europe/DanCorn in Hedensted, Denmark, in 2015. Sukup added a steel receiving facility in Manly, Iowa, in 2015, and an additional manufacturing facility in Hampton, Iowa, in 2021.
Ten years after a massive earthquake devastated Haiti, there are more than 300 Sukup SafeTHomes® in Haiti, and nearly 400 total worldwide. Sukup partners with non-profit organization GoServ Global to distribute these hurricane-proof structures for post-disaster relief.
In 2018, Sukup manufactured the world's largest free-span grain bin, which stores nearly two million bushels. Charles was also inducted into the National Academy of Engineering that year. We are proud to design and manufacture the industry's most technology-forward grain management equipment, including the award-winning Mixed Flow Dryer.
Sukup Manufacturing Co. remains the world's largest family-owned and operated manufacturer of grain storage, grain drying and handling equipment, and steel buildings.

Why visit Easter Island?
Silently standing vigil over small Easter Island, the stone-faced moai are undoubtedly the highlight of this mystical destination.
Chiloé Island
Northern Patagonia
Southern Patagonia
Home to a community of just 5 000 inhabitants, Easter Island or Rapa Nui, as it is known to locals, is a Chilean territory in Polynesia. It has one national park, the Parque Nacional Rapa Nui which covers most of the Island and features the quarry of Rano Raraku where the moai were carved, the volcanic crater of the Rano Kau and the Ahu Tongariki where 15 moai rest. Easter Island has a colourful history
where it was first explored by outsiders in 1722 and named by Dutch naval commander Jacob Roggeveen on Easter Sunday. It was also where Captain Cook and his crew recuperated during one of his many explorations and where, in 1805, a vicious raid by slave traders left a scar in the community. Regardless of its size, there is much to do here from scuba diving and snorkelling to cycling and horse riding.
Ultimate isolation on one of the world's most remote islands
Witness the eerie, ancient, logic-defying stone statues that are scattered across the island
Experience Polynesian culture at the island's main celebration, the Tapati festival in February, which showcases traditional music, dancing, food and festive parades.
Renowned for its eco-lodges that leave a light footprint on the iconic, volcanic landscape.
World-class scuba diving, snorkelling and surfing.
Summer (January to March)
The average daily temperature is 26°C/78°F
Winter (June to September)
The winters are relatively mild and May is the rainiest month, however, the island does experience rainfall year-round. Due to its remote location, the island is exposed to winds.

Here's one of those posts where the comments are as important as the original posting: John Peebles says that systems administrators are endangered species and commenters dissent. Good stuff.
People who don't pay any federal income tax are still taxed.
In the U.S., the bailing out of the financial sector was sold on the basis that it would allow growth and job creation to resume, and that has not happened. So the rationale for socializing those losses hasn't played out.
Err, what? Wasn't the the point of bailing out the financial sector to prevent several of them from completely failing (like Lehman did) and causing major systemic disruptions in the worldwide financial markets?

Ex-ILM Arriflex BL-3 Camera No. 35750
Ex-ILM Arriflex BL-3 Camera No.
While the focus of Prop Store's company collection will always be key film props and costumes, our interest in film history has led us to also archiving production documents, stills, artwork, and other production items relating to film history. We recently had the opportunity to acquire a different type of material for our collection – historic film production equipment. While museums have curated the tools of artists deemed historically significant for many years, this is our first foray into such an area, and we have found the research of this material fascinating. The last decade has seen significant advancement in the digital revolution of filmmaking. Not only are visual effects and sets created digitally, films themselves frequently no longer exist on film itself. They are shot on digital cameras, and projected digitally. 35mm film projectors are being stripped from theaters, and 35mm film cameras sit ideally in rental houses, no longer viable due to their inefficiency compared to digital cameras. Only a few select filmmakers are still choosing to, and have the clout to, shoot their pictures on film. The retiring of this equipment adds to its historic appeal, as it now represents a filmmaking era gone-by. We are pleased to present an overview and analysis of one such piece – an Arriflex BL3 camera formerly owned by Lucasfilm and Industrial Light and Magic.
Arri BL-3 Cameras from JDC work on Return of the Jedi
The first two Star Wars films utilized Panavision cameras (the PSR-200 model as well as the Panaflex) for the majority of main-unit photography that would not undergo visual effects work. Visual effects shots were done on a variety of VistaVision cameras, due to the need for the larger size negative to maintain the quality when duplicating the film in optical printing work. The films were shot in 35mm anamorphic, utilizing Panavision's lenses. The equipment for these films was provided by Samuelson's Film Service, the exclusive agent for Panavision in the UK. For the third Star Wars picture, a decision was made to go away from Panavision equipment and to use Arriflex cameras provided by Joe Dunton Camera, along with Cooke Varitol lenses, specifically modified for anamorphic use by JDC. As stated in The Making of Return of the Jedi: "Richard Marquand talked about the final decision on which camera to use on Jedi: "Everyone was inclined to go with Panavision since that company gives great service, but Panavision is monumentally expensive. You're not allowed to buy a Panavision camera—you have to rent it. The production team and George were toying with the idea of going with the BL3, which is a very solid camera—sturdy, very useful—arid they were interested in buying a camera rather than renting a Panavision camera." The camera also passed the test, and Lucasfilm will now buy one BL3 camera and rent another for use on Jedi."
This BL-3 camera is the one sold to Lucasfilm for the production of Return of the Jedi, likely at a cost of over $100,000, as was the going rate for such a camera package at the time. After its use on ROJ, this BL-3 became part of Industrial Light and Magic's inventory, and was used for second-unit (non-VistaVision) work on many other ILM productions. The BL series of camera was developed in early 1970s, and was noted for being one of the first silent, reflexed 35mm movie cameras that could be hand-held. The third generation BL-3 camera was introduced in 1980, and Arri records confirm that this particular camera, serial no. XYZ, was built in 1981.
Above: Arri BL-3 Today Below: The Same BL-3 working on ROJ
This historic camera is uniquely recognizable by the custom side plate on the right side of the body, featuring a red and green stripe. This sideplate was applied to the camera by Joe Dunton, and the stripes represent his corporate colors of the day. It is not clear exactly when this sideplate was installed on the camera. Studio production photos from ROJ show the BL-3 cameras being used with their standard Arriflex sideplates, but this sideplate (and therefore this camera) is clearly installed during the shoot in Death Valley for ROJ, which was done late in production, in December 1982. The camera can be seen in behind the scenes photography from the Death Valley shoot working on sequences such as the approach to Jabba's Palace, and the cut sequence outside of Luke's cave. The DOP on the shoot was Hiro Narita, who also recalls using this particular BL-3 on 2nd unit work for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. In addition to the sideplate, the camera has several ILM markings and inventory tags.
The fully-operational camera was acquired with a number of its original magazines, some still bearing the ILM magician stickers which can be seen during the ROJ shoot. The other components of the camera had to be tracked down from separate sources, but all originate from the stock of Industrial Light and Magic.
The anamorphic eyepiece adaptor was necessary to give the operator the proper image in the eyepiece when using anamorphic lenses. This is the original anamorphic adaptor from the Death Valley shoot, with the hand-applied ILM lettering still present.
The Arri matte-box features a custom aluminum hinge modification that is seen on all BL-3 cameras working on ROJ. This modification was likely done at Joe Dunton Camera, and allows the mattebox to easily swing out of the way for access to the lens.
The Arri baseplate and dovetail mount plate, necessary for attaching the camera to the tripod head, are also labeled ILM.
The lens on the camera is a Cooke-Varitol 20-100mm lens, with a custom anamorphic modification and anamorphic adaptor created by JDC. The front of the lens is marked JDC, and the lens also features several ILM markings and inventory tag numbers. Even the lens cap speaks to the history of the piece – the interior features the old-style ILM magician logo. The American Cinematographer article on Location Photography of ROJ states "Lucasfilm had been testing anamorphic lenses for some time and had determined that the British made Dunton Lens was the best for their purpose. At that time there were only 3 sets of these lenses in existence— prototypes. Two were on our show, one half-set at Leonetti's Cine Rental in Los Angeles and the other half-set was at Dunton's Shop in London." While this lens is not the one specifically seen on the camera in the Death Valley shoot (that lens is a JDC 40-200), it is undoubtedly from the same set and would have worked on the film at the same time. The lens is in fine working order and would still be suitable for production today – film camera lenses are frequently used on digital cameras to lend a film-look to the digital image.
To replicate the look of the production stills, the camera is displayed on a tripod and fluid head of the same type used in Death Valley, although these components were never owned by ILM and did not work on ROJ. The fluid head is an O'Connor Model 100, and the wooden sticks are a standard Mitchell set.
Prop Store will have this historic camera on display at Celebration 6 in Orlando, FL August 23-26.

Kay sold her dance studio in 1986 so she could enjoy her girls who where growing up too fast. These last years she worked behind the scenes for her daughter Michele's insurance agency working cancellations and being that soft spoken courtesy caller that made a huge impact on her business.
Kay's biggest title was being Ma and going to every event her grandchildren were involved in. She was a devoted wife and mother to her 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren. Kay was the most selfless woman you would ever have the opportunity to know.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Cyrus Mooney Jr.; parents, William & Ima Varnadore; brother, Billy Mac "Bill" Varnadore and sister, Elizabeth Ann "Liz" Varnadore Trotter.
Kay is survived by her daughters, Karol-Ann Mozjesik, Kristy Kundysek and husband, Mark, and Michele Radison and husband, Dan; her niece, Kim Trotter Halfmann; and grandchildren, Cole Mozjesik, Baylee Mozjesik, Dawson Kundysek, Garret Kundysek, and Ryan DeLaRosa.
