Murder is my favorite crime.
So I strongly contemplated whether or not I wanted to include this in my Horrorfest. It isn't really a horror film but more of a mystery thriller, even better defined as a film-noir. I really wanted to include it but, since it wasn't a real "horror film" I wasn't sure if I should. But then I had a moment of clarity.
This is my blog. I can do whatever I want!
So I decided I would.
So this actually started out as a play and then was turned into a novel. Otto Preminger saw it as the perfect thing to turn into a film. It is known to be one of the best Film-Noir films along with one of the best mystery-thriller films of all time. AFI ranked it #4 on their list of the 10 greatest mystery films.
This film is also famous for Gene Tierney's portrayal of Laura. This helped give her title of "Film-Noir Queen".
So anyways, on to the film.
So it starts off with New York City police Detective Mark McPherson (Dana Andrews).
He is investigating the death of the beautiful, successful, advertising executive Laura Hunt. Laura was murdered by a shotgun blast to the face.
Det. McPherson starts investigating and finds himself with multiple murder suspects and motives.
1) Waldo Lybecker
Waldo (Clifton Webb) is a famous columnist and he was the one who actually discovered Laura. She tried to get him to advertise something for him, and faster than you could say Pygmalion, he takes her under his wing and tries to change her and "improve" her.
"Waldo Lydecker: She was quick to seize upon anything that would improve her mind or her appearance. Laura had innate breeding, but she deferred to my judgment and taste. I selected a more attractive hairdress for her. I taught her what clothes were more becoming to her. Through me, she met everyone: The famous and the infamous. Her youth and beauty, her poise and charm of manner captivated them all. She had warmth, vitality. She had authentic magnetism. Wherever we went, she stood out. Men admired her; women envied her. She became as famous as Waldo Lydecker's walking stick and his white carnation."
But it goes a little more than that. Waldo becomes obsessed with Laura.
Yep. He is in love with her and wants to be the only man. Every time some other guy came around he would find a way to criticize them and demean them. The two broke it off, but Laura was very upset with him.
Laura started dating another guy, Shelby Carpenter. No matter what Waldo said, Laura wouldn't listen to him. In fact she decided to marry him.
Yep he was angry. Extremely upset about losing Laura to someone he thought was so unworthy? Angry enough to kill?
2) Shelby Carpenter
Shelby (played by Vincent Price) comes from great stock, has expensive tastes, and loves the high life. Only one problem, he has no money. None at all. Instead he has to use to his charms to court rich, older women and have them pay for his expenses. In fact he had found a real great giver in Ann Treadwell (Judith Anderson). That is until he met the very charismatic Laura. Not only is she the perfect cash cow to support him, but young and beautiful. Who could ask for anything more?
"Shelby Carpenter: I knew there was something on my mind. Ah yes, will you dine with me tomorrow night?
Laura Hunt: Yes.
Shelby Carpenter: No, it's not that – it's the next night. And what about three weeks from tonight? And all the nights in between?
Laura Hunt: Shelby, you talk as if I had no other engagements!
Shelby Carpenter: And two months from now? And the month after that?
Laura Hunt: What about next year?
Shelby Carpenter: Oh, that's all settled. What about breakfast?
Laura Hunt: What about dancing?
Shelby Carpenter: What about lunch? Beautiful lunches, day after day after day?"
The two starting dating and she gave him a job, one of which he didn't have to do too much work. The two become engaged and all is well.
It turns out that Laura wasn't the only person Shelby was seeing. He was going around with a lot of poor models. Rumor has it that Laura found out and was not happy…could he have killed her? If she was about to leave him high and dry, he might have become incensed and murdered her?
3) Ann Treadwell
Ann Treadwell is the rich older aunt of Laura. She and Shelby had been in a relationship for a long time. She knew what he was, but that was what she wanted.
When he left her for Laura, she was furious that her niece stole him away. Furious enough to kill?
Sound suspicious
As Det. McPherson continues to delve into the clues and motives…he learns more and more about Laura. As he learns more and more he starts falling for Laura as well.
One night Det. McPherson is at Laura's apartment looking at her painting and trying to figure out the mystery, along with Laura. Why does she draw him to her?
When suddenly somebody comes crashing through.
It's Laura!!!
But if that's Laura? Who is…?
Who is the dead body?
They find out that the murdered girl is one of the models, Diane Redfern. The same model that Shelby was involved with.
Yep this leads Mark with another suspect…Laura
4) Laura Hunt
So we've heard how Laura rose from nothing to being the top girl. She was beautiful, smart, classy, etc. All women envined her and all men wanted her.
But then the guy she loves and is supposed to marry is running around with a model!!! Cheating on her!!!!
She knew Diane was in love with Shelby, and she knew Shelby only cared about her money. She knew Shelby was taking models to her house and she could have gone after them and shot her for trying to mess with her man.
Or she could be so angry at Shelby for cheating on him that she prepared a way to take care of him.
Instead of killing him, she could have killed Diane to make it look like Shelby and make him pay!
Does it seem too far-fetched? Well she wasn't at the cabin when the cops looked that weekend. Her response "I was talking a walk." She didn't see the newspapers and come back saying she was alive? Or hear it on the radio? Her response: I don't get a newspaper and my radio is broken." Did anyone see you there? "Nobody".
What does this mean? Who is the killer?
You'll have to watch the film to find out.

"It was their hands that built this city of ours, Father. But where do the hands belong in your scheme?
In their proper place, the depths."
So back in July I did a post on trying to start a revolution and I mentioned this film. Now this film is not mainly a horror film but a mix of a Dystopian Drama, Sci-fi and Horror, a Dystfiror. This film also reminds me A LOT of Atlas Shrugged, so I chose this poster instead of the other one that has the robot on it. Robot, you may ask? But that's getting ahead of ourselves.
So this film takes place in a future far away [2026]. In this land the people have been split into two groups, the workers and the rulers. High above is the city Metropolis with its pleasure garden, as the wealthy lounge about doing nothing and anything they want. Below the city lies the workers, who are constantly going to support the city and all of the upper-dwellers' desires.
Sounds familiar? That's because stupid Matt Damon ripped it off for his Elysium film. Go here to read why I don't like Matt Damon (hint: you have to scroll down to #5).
Anyways, the ruler of Metropolis is Jon Frederson, who's only compassion and love is aimed at his son, the rest of the world and people be d*****. His son Freder…Now I know what you're thinking because I thought of it too. Really, Freder Frederson? Really now? That's you're name?
Why yes, yes I do think so.
Well I don't care.
So anyways I'm like that's really all you can come up with? With all the names there are that is the only one you can think of? Freder Frederson?
Spongebob would be disappointed in you.
When I watched it I renamed him Alan, as Alan Frederson was way better than Freder Frederson.
Anyways, I digress so Freder is chillin' in the pleasure garden (everytime I hear pleasure garden I think of Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights), just enjoying being rich and worry-free.
They got lots of pleasures, alright.
Maria brings some children to see the Garden, and Freder sees her and falls for her, completely taken with her.
Maria, leader of the Rebellion
He then follows her down to the workers' realm.
Freder journeys down into the machine rooms and sees it explode, injuring and killing the workers.
AAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
He runs to report to his father:
Sorry had to do it
Frederson is upset at having gotten the news from Freder instead of his foreman. (Everytime I read that sentence all I can thik of Señor Senior Sr and Señor Senior Jr. from Kim Possible). Sorry! I'm moving on, I swear! So the assistant Josaphat is fired for his failure. Jo knows that now that he no longer holds such a high position, he will be sent to the worker's underground and forced to be in the factories, getting the same harm inflicted on him that he did to others. He decides to kill himself, but is stopped by Freder. Frederson is confused by the way his son is starting to act and sends his henchman the Thin Man.
On a side note, evil, businessman and father Frederson, has some secret plans in the mix. They were found on the dead factory workers' bodies, which angered him extremely, as he doesn't want it revealed yet.
Upon Freder's return, he finds a worker and takes his place as the worker is too old and sick to continue. They trade clothes, in which the worker, Georgy, is supposed to come back later for them. However, Georgy enjoys his taste of the high life and spends the night at a club, forgetting all about Freder. (You might recognize pieces of this film as parts were used in Queen's Music Video for "Radio Ga Ga".)
Freder on the other hand finds a map in his pocket and hears about a secret meeting. (There is also this weird scene where he hallucinates from exhaustion, but let's skip it).
Meanwhile up above evil dad Frederson has discovered copies of the map and decides he will do something about this little insurrection. He goes to see his minion, Rotwang, in order to figure out what to do about it. [Check out the name Rotwang. It just screams evil!]
Rotwang is an inventor and he had been in love with Frederson's wife, who died in childbirth. Rotwang has been unable to let go of her memory and created his own version of the perfect woman Maschinenmensch.
Its a pretty freaky scene, and totally creeps Frederson out.
Understandable, as it would freak me out too. It did. It still does.
Rotwang deciphers the map, and sees that it shows a system of catacombs that lie beneath Metropolis. They go down to investigate what's going on.
Downstairs, there is a large gathering of the workers. Freder is there too, trying to find out what's up. Maria is at the head of the group as she is the leader. She tries to rally the people to arms and to fight against their oppressors. She tells them that they must be patient until they can find a mediator between the two worlds.
Freder believes that he is the one to fill that role. He also realizes that he is in love with Maria and declares his love for her. She returns it.
The two make plans to meet up the next day, but unbeknowest to them they are being watched by Freder's father and lackey. Freder's father asks Rotwang to make the robot look like Maria so they can turn all the workers against her. Rotwang agrees, but has a secret agenda. He plans on killing Freder for causing the death of his mother.
Like what a jerk! He couldn't do anything, he was just a baby. And Rotwang is a MAJOR creepo!!!
So Rotwang follows Maria and kidnaps her, hiding her away to complete his evil plan.
from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Georgy gets caught and sent back down to the worker's area. They think that Freder's friend Josaphat is involved, as that is where Georgy was supposed to spend the night, and Josaphat has to flee to the worker's city. Freder goes to meet with Georgy, but can't find him. He goes over to the Cathedral where the two were supposed to meet but can't find Maria.He does overhear monks talking about the apocalypse, and the Whore of Babylon wrecking havoc through the world. He begs them not to harm Maria and goes searching for her.
Meanwhile Maria is trapped while the mad scientist Rotwang completes his robot's likeness.
I'm sure you all knew I was going to make this connection.
Rotwang complete his robot and sends it off to Father Frederson. This version of Maria is wanton and lustful. Freder goes to see his father and finds the two in an embrace.
I mean seriously, what were you thinking?
Freder freaks out and drops into a delirious state of mind.
Poor guy!
False Maria begins to unleash chaos throughout the land as she causes men to murder and fight each other.
Freder recovers and finds his friend Josaphat. Meanwhile, Maria manages to escape their grasp. Freder and Josaphat try to stop the false Maria from urging the workers to destroy the city, but everyone tries to attack him as they recognize him as Frederson's son. He is luckily saved by Josaphat. Upstairs, Frederson wants the workers to fight, allowing him to use his army against them.
The workers are extremely riled up and rush to the machine rooms destroying the Heart Machine that powers the city.
The system's below start to fail and the worker's area began to flood. But the workers have forgotten one thing. They left their children behind!
Maria has managed to escape and runs downstairs to help save the children. [Side Note: Unemployment and inflation were so bad in Germany at the time that the producers had no trouble finding 500 malnourished children to film these flooding sequences.] Maria and Josaphat work together to get them out okay. In the machine room, Grot begins to yell at the workers. He reprimends them for letting their emotions get the best of them and killing their children. The parents freak out and march after the false Maria.
They take False Maria and burn her at the stake. Freder is heartbroken, thinking he lost her.
But then when she burns away, she is revealed to be the robot.
Rotwang chases the real Maria to the roof pursued by Freder. Fredersen and the workers watch from the ground. Rotwang falls to his death and Freder is able to unite the two. He [heart] ends by linking the hands of Fredersen (head) and Grot (hands) to bring them together.
This movie was actually supposed to be against facism and Hitler, but unfortunately Adolph Hitler and Joseph Goebbels really liked this film. Fritz Lang, the director, was Jewish, but Hitler told him that in spite of his background they would make him a honorary Aryan. Lang left Germany immediately after that night.

Rally against food sales-tax hike!
Low-income advocates of the Crossroads-Urban Center believe the passing of Senate Bill 270 will affect 93.5 percent of families that make less than $150,000 a year. "It just isn't possible for most Utah families to spend enough money on non-food items to make up for what they will pay in new food taxes under this bill," writes Bill Tibbitts, Anti-Hunger Project Director at Crossroads Urban Center in a recent press release.
Opponents of this bill will gather Tuesday, March 1, at the Utah State Capitol, 350 N. State, in the House Building (West Building) at 12 p.m. Speakers will give some remarks and then present a petition to Speaker Lockhart asking her to oppose the tax hike.

Double mutant Covid variant
GS Paper - 2 Health and Disease
As India's daily tally of Covid-19 infections surge by record 200,000-plus cases for three consecutive days, public health experts worry that a new — possibly more virulent — coronavirus variant could be racing through the crowded nation of more than 1.3 billion people. The new variant, which has a so-called double mutation, is thought to be fueling India's deadlier new wave of infections that has made it the world's second worst-hit country, surpassing Brazil, and has already begun to overwhelm its hospitals and crematoriums. The Asian nation has reported more than 14.5 million Covid cases so far and more than 175,600 fatalities.
How did the "double mutation" variant emerge?
The new variant, called B.1.617, was initially detected in India with two mutations — the E484Q and L452R.
It was first reported late last year by a scientist in India and more details were presented before the WHO.
Viruses mutate all the time, as part of evolutionary biology. Some mutations weaken the virus while others may make it stronger, enabling it to proliferate faster or cause more infections.
India's health ministry first acknowledged the presence of such a "double mutant" at the end of March, but has downplayed it since. While it's a variant of interest, it "has not been stamped as a 'variant of concern' so as to say that it is more lethal or more infectious.
The double mutation has been found in several countries like Australia, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Namibia, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK and the US.

Bozar Cinema: Bruce McClure & Paul Sharits
By Marcos Ortega on Wed, 09/10/2019 - 03:15
The performances of Bruce McClure (US) are physical experiences, hallucinatory and immersive, that stretch boundaries while celebrating the movie going experience. Working with 16mm projectors and guitar effect pedals, McClure elaborates powerful pieces that play with light, sound, the space of the performance and the viewer's perception. "The total effect converts the room into an enormous reverberation chamber for both ear and eye, throbbing with mechanical thunder and lightning" (ArtForum).

Never Twice: Live Expanded Cinema Performance
By Marcos Ortega on Mon, 07/12/2015 - 03:32
With Lary 7, Bradley Eros, Barbara Hammer, Ken Jacobs, Rose Kallal, Andrew Lampert, Bruce McClure, Joel Schlemowitz
Microscope is extremely pleased to present "Never Twice", an exhibition of live moving image performance in the context of what is usually referred to as expanded cinema: works free from the constraints or presenting alternatives to the traditional theatrical screening setting – single projection on a screen before an audience. The title of the exhibit, a reference to the quote from Heraclitus "one cannot step into the same river twice", emphasizes the ephemeral character of this art form, one always intrinsically connected to a "here" and "now", a multi-sensorial experience that although it may be performed again, it cannot ever be replicated.

Exhibited Cinema – Exhibiting artists' films, video art and moving image
The aims of this book are twofold: on the one hand, based on archival research, it seeks to identify the status of film and of the moving image in the field of contemporary art in French-speaking Switzerland and abroad; on the other hand, it aims at assessing the influence of exhibition contexts on a multiplicity of film practices (on their temporal aspects, the multiplication of surfaces of projection, the reception by a mobile spectator).

AI Split Editions #1: Hollis Frampton, A Lecture/Bruce Mcclure, Know Thy Instrument
Atelier Impopulaire Split #1 consists of an original text by Bruce McClure, an architect and performer based in New York. It is titled Know Thy Instrument, and based on a lecture given by Hollis Frampton on 30 October 1968, then published as A Lecture. Both with his text and projection performance, McClure aims at reflecting upon the body/technology dynamics, the relation with the whole projection apparatus, and the implications deriving from the removal of some of its parts. This all results in a modification of its mechanical structure, thus provoking a systemic abstraction of the obscurity/light duality in the guise of sound patterns.

Hurrah for Daisyfest 2016 in Guildford! / 10 May 2016
Zoom in to this image and read text description
I'm delighted and excited that Daisyfest 2016 has given DisabilityArtsOnline a slot at G Live in Guildford to showcase some of the talent DAO supports through our blogging platform. So, we're producing an event next month called Words That Defy Normality - a smorgasbord of humorous, reflective, autobiographical poetry and performance from Penny Pepper, Allan Sutherland and Dolly Sen.
I was over the moon at the success of Penny's campaign via Unbound to get her memoir First In The World Somewhere published by Unbound/ Penguin.
Penny ran the gauntlet of social media to ensure the publication happened. Backed by Daisyfest the crowdfunding campaign reached 102 per cent of its target, so the publication is due to be released in early 2017.
And now, hot off the stage from speaking at the Southbank Centre's Women of the World (WoW) Festival, Penny will give Daisyfest a flavour of her personal recollections of the beginnings of independent living and disability civil rights.
Penny's story is one of a first-generation punk crip who skirted through new romantic pop into being a music-junkie indie kid, always pushing her writing and performance alongside the emergence of the Disability Arts scene.
Allan Sutherland, once described as 'the first political stand-up on the disability arts circuit' has for thirty years been exploring ways of making the voices of disabled people heard.
He has explored his own epilepsy though performance poetry, stand-up comedy and personal writing. He has presented the lives and opinions of other disabled people through radio and television scriptwriting and journalism.
In more recent years, Allan has developed the technique of interview-based transcription poetry, which has proved to be a powerful means of telling disabled people's stories. Supported by DAO, his first exploration of the form, told the life story of Disability Activist and campaigner Paddy Masefield, before further developments, which gave us The Explorer with scenes from the life of artist Nancy Willis and Neglected Voices, with stories recalling the lives of three disabled people:
In this performance he will be reading from his recently-completed collection, 'Difficult People'. [We are the difficult people,/ The ones who do not fit,/ Who have no place in/ The world as you've made it.]
The collection straddles several decades of the writer's engagement with disability arts, activism and culture. It starts with some of the performance poems, which document his own experience of living with epilepsy; followed by a set of found poems, and lastly his transcription work.
Dolly Sen has been blogging on DAO since 2008 with her unique and persistently uproarious take on the world. As a child, Dolly Sen was an alien in Empire Strikes Back. She knew then she would never know normal life. Dolly is an award-winning writer, artist, performer and filmmaker, which has taken her up a tree in Regents Park, to California's Death Row, to the Barbican, Tower Bridge, Royal Academy, Trafalgar Square, and up a ladder to screw a lightbulb into the sky. She also thinks she is a sheep.
Dolly's creativity aims to put sanity over her lap and slap its naughty arse. She will do this for your delight at Daisyfest, using poetry, art, comedy and sheep.
For my own part, as well as having the delight of compering the words that defy normality, I am planning to run a poetry sharing workshop earlier in the day as part of Daisyfest's programme of free daytime events.
Most people dabble in poetry at some point in their lives. Some of us turn to writing poetry during difficult times in our lives as an outlet for deep-seated fears and anxieties. Some of us use poetry as an alternative way of recording feelings about people or events that are important to us, or as an alternative way of keeping a diary.
For others poetry can be the most direct form of self-expression when the creative urge takes hold. It doesn't have to be precious or academic. It can simply be a rewarding way of giving voice to the value we attach to our lives. For disabled people in particular, poetry can often be a lifeline because poetry allows us the space to say things that are often negated, misconstrued or disallowed.
This workshop will be an opportunity to gain confidence through sharing poetry and getting feedback from others.

Q: using grepl with case_when to clean up dataset I'm working with a few datasets that have all entered data in slightly different formats that I'm trying to clean up using dplyr and grepl.  One of the variables I'm struggling with is a factor that I have a few decision rules for:

*

*if the category is a single factor, then no change (e.g., AB = AB)

*if the category is a single factor with a question mark, then drop the question mark (e.g., AC? = AC)

*if the category is two factors separated by |, / or ?, then replace with NA (e.g., AB|B = NA or AC? B? = NA)

At present, my code looks similar to this:
cat <- c("A", "AB", "B", "C?", "AC|C", "A", "B/A", "C?", "B?", "A|B", "C? B?", "A", "B?", "B", "B")
df <- as.data.frame(cat)
mutate(df,
       cat = case_when(grepl("|", cat) ~ NA_character_,
                       grepl("/", cat) ~ NA_character_,
                       grepl("? ", cat) ~ NA_character_,
                       TRUE ~ cat))

If this worked, it would help me address the rules 1 and 3, but at present it just returns NA's for all the fields.
Also, I'm not sure how to drop the ? for variables that just have a single letter (rule 2).

A: Instead of grepl and case_when, your stated goal could be achieved by removing all question marks, then if you are left with more than one character, make it NA, as demonstrated here:
df %>% mutate(cat = sub("\\?", "", cat),
              cat = replace(cat, nchar(cat) > 1, NA))
#>     cat
#> 1     A
#> 2     A
#> 3     B
#> 4     C
#> 5  <NA>
#> 6     A
#> 7  <NA>
#> 8     C
#> 9     B
#> 10 <NA>
#> 11 <NA>
#> 12    A
#> 13    B
#> 14    B
#> 15    B

Created on 2022-02-02 by the reprex package (v2.0.1)

A: The answer lies in the syntax and I should have included [] in my initial code.
cat <- c("A", "AB", "B", "C?", "AC|C", "A", "B/A", "C?", "B?", "A|B", "C? B?", "A", "B?", "B", "B")
df <- as.data.frame(cat)
mutate(df,
       cat = case_when(grepl("[|]", cat) ~ NA_character_,
                       grepl("[/]", cat) ~ NA_character_,
                       grepl("[?]", cat) ~ NA_character_,
                       TRUE ~ cat))

That simple, seemingly innocuous, greeting makes me cringe on the inside. I want to be authentic and be real with people. Yet, when I am asked "How are you?" I am put in a very awkward social situation. I hurriedly go through scenarios in my mind to try and figure out how to genuinely answer the question. Does this person want to really know how I am? Some people asking the question genuinely want a real answer. Others are asking it rotely and going through the motions of an informal greeting.
Then, to my dread, I hear these words, "You look great, you must be doing better." I smile, and say "Thank you." The woman inside screams again "SEE ME! Please SEE ME!" I keep the mask firmly in place simply because it is too complicated to be authentic.
All of us have different images of ourselves we project to others. We decide the image based on whom we are engaging and the role we play in their lives. You project a different image as an employee than you do as a parent. You project a different image as a significant other than you do as a son or daughter. The images become difficult to manage, but manage them we do! The secret to authenticity is to manage those images as close to the truth as possible, and as closely resembling each other as possible, so your boss knows the same person as your parents.
The nature of a chronic illness adds a level of invisibility and deception to your personal image. Invisibility because, for many, the illness cannot be seen. You don't look sick and others have no idea how skilled you have become at wearing the mask of wellness. Deception because you wish to hide aspects of the illness and share certain information with only those you can trust.
I don't know why I cringe so much when simple greetings are said to me. Yet, I cringe. In order to give an authentic answer, I have found it is best to look at the whole of myself and not just components or compartmentalization of self.
The whole of me is well.
Alias In Town is an anagram of the author's name. In every town there are alias people living with chronic illness, chronic pain, addiction and depression. Alias In Town is one of those people. Learning to live well while ill is a necessary and difficult endeavor. She learned multiple coping and life strategies to be Well. "I am more than my body. I am body, mind and spirit. My body is simply the weakest unit of the triad. Though chronic illness affects the entire triad, I have made considerable effort to strengthen my mind and spirit to find the balance of 'Well'. – book excerpt Her style of writing is to combine multi-media formats into stories. She utilizes short essays to tell her story in words. She creates original artwork to tell her story through the end of a brush. She includes personal journal and diary entries to remain open, honest and raw in her writing. One of the most anxiety releasing activities she utilizes is art. She explores art through several mediums and included them in the book "Well." She does not claim to be a proficient artist but utilizing art is cathartic to her. She has an art website. . She has been married for 35 years with 6 children and 7 grandchildren and lives in central Ohio.

Alcohol bans (also known as alcohol-free zones) are usually introduced because of concern about disorderly behaviour and criminal offending linked to the consumption of alcohol in public places. This is seen as detrimental to businesses and visitors as people think the area is not a safe place to visit.
An alcohol ban prohibits the possession or consumption of alcohol in certain locations and at certain times.
Territorial authorities are able to make alcohol control bylaws under s.147 of the Local Government Act 2002 following a full community consultation process.
The Local Government (Alcohol Reform) Amendment Act 2012 has made changes to the way alcohol bans can be imposed in response to recommendations from the Law Commission.
The area where an alcohol ban may be imposed includes any public place. This means, for example, that an alcohol ban can be imposed in a private car park if drinking is causing problems. Previously alcohol bans could be imposed only in a public place under the control of the territorial authority.
There is also provision for regulations to be made to require signage to ensure people know where the limits of the alcohol ban area are.
For evidential purposes, police do not have to have samples tested where the alcohol is clearly labelled as alcohol, or is in another container but smells like alcohol, or where it was admitted that it was alcohol.

Вое́нная грани́ца, или Вое́нная Кра́ина (; , или Vojna granica; , или Војна граница / Vojna granica; ) — пограничная область на юге Габсбургской монархии, прикрывавшая границу с Османской империей.

Располагалась узкой полосой от Адриатического моря на западе до Трансильвании на востоке. Своим возникновением эта область обязана войнам христиан с турками-мусульманами и переселению сербов с их исконных земель под натиском Османского государства. Поселяясь за естественными рубежами Динарских Альп, рек Купа, Уна, Сава и Дунай, сербы становились «граничарами» и получили военную администрацию от австрийского правительства. До начала османской экспансии в Европу часть областей будущей Военной границы входили в состав Хорватского королевства, где проживали и хорваты, и сербы.

Но с началом турецких вторжений этническая карта этих территорий меняется: начинается отток хорватского населения и приток валахов и сербов из Косова и других османских областей. Валахи позднее были ассимилированы сербами. Термин «влахи» получил в новых условиях иной смысл, нежели этнический, означавший румыноязычное население, который он имел в средневековых сербских документах. Теперь влахами условно называли любых православных переселенцев с османской территории.

В настоящее время земли бывшей Военной Краины входят в состав Хорватии (Лицко-Сеньская, Сисацко-Мославинская, Карловацкая, Бродско-Посавская и Вуковарско-Сремская жупании), Сербии (Автономный край Воеводина) и Румынии (жудец Караш-Северин).

История

Средневековье
После захвата турками Македонии в 1395 году сыновья короля Вукашина Андрияш и Дмитар переселились в Венгрию, где пошли на службу к королю Сигизмунду Люксембургскому. Схожим образом поступил и деспот Стефан Лазаревич, бывший вассалом Венгрии с 1404 года, где он получил в своё правление обширные владения, включавшие в себя и Белград с окрестностями. Помимо них, служить венгерскому королю уходили и некоторые сербские феодалы. С ними переселялись и многочисленные приближённые, а также военные отряды. Однако сборщики десятины для Рима в своих записях не отмечали наличия в приграничье представителей других христиан, кроме католиков.

Кроме земель Сербии и Боснии турки также проникали и на территории Хорватии, тогда входившей в состав Венгерского королевства. В 1396 году турецкое войско вторглось в междуречье Савы и Дравы.

Через несколько лет ситуация начинает меняться и в 1437 году очевидцы свидетельствуют о присутствии в Среме множества переселенцев из Рашки и Боснии и о смешанных сёлах, где переселенцы живут вместе с католиками. Несколько ранее сербами был населён город Ковин вместе с близлежащими сёлами. Однако из-за турецких нападений многие из них в 1439 году были вынуждены бежать вглубь Венгерского королевства. В 1442 году группа сербов перешла Тису и поселилась в Солноке. Затем на протяжении нескольких лет нет данных о перемещении крупных групп беженцев, однако сербы продолжали покидать свои земли в одиночку или группами по несколько человек. В 1453 году сербы разместились в Вилагошваре. Спустя десять лет король Матвей Корвин приказал воздвигнуть укрепления по берегу реки Савы, начиная от Белграда, куда с оккупированных турками территорий начали переселяться сербы.

Турецкие отряды разоряли страну и уводили в неволю множество людей. В 1438 году из Сербии были угнаны в рабство 60 000 человек, а из Трансильвании 30 000—40 000 человек. Из Юго-Восточной Европы за 1439—1440 годы было уведено 160 000 человек. За 1436—1442 годы турки захватили около 400 000 рабов. Зимой 1440 года из 7000 сербских пленных 3000 умерли от холодов и нападений диких животных.

Ситуация в Сербии усугублялась голодом. В итоге тысячи беженцев устремились в направлении Дубровника, после чего их перевозили в Италию. Количество беженцев было столь велико, что власти города в 1454 году запретили пускать их внутрь из опасений беспорядков и распространения болезней.

В середине XV века Венгерское королевство переживало краткое время расцвета, связанное с именем Матвея Корвина, который стал венгерскими королём в 1458 году. Матвей Корвин увеличил налоги и начал формировать постоянную армию из внешних элементов, среди которых были бежавшие в страну гуситы, немецкие рыцари, сербские и польские феодалы со своими отрядами. Все эти силы были объединены в «Чёрную армию», их вооружение было стандартизовано, они носили воронёные доспехи. Численность этой армии достигала 30 000 человек. Благодаря ей и личным талантам Корвин сумел сплотить страну и на протяжении более чем 30 лет успешно противостоял набиравшей мощь Османской империи и другим противникам.

В 1462 году под ударами турок пал город Яйце в Боснии. После этого 18 000 сербских семей переселились в Ликскую и Крбавскую жупанию. Матвей Корвин предоставил им свободу вероисповедания и освободил от налогов, но потребовал участия в обороне от турок. На участке от побережья Адриатики до Яйце король Венгрии в 1469 году основал Сеньскую капетанию, центром которой стал город Сень, ранее принадлежавший хорватским магнатам Франкопанам. Именно тогда и появилось собственно название «Краина» — оно означало пограничные участки вдоль венгерско-турецкой границы, пролегавшей по реке Уне. В это же время на службу короля были приняты многочисленные сербские феодалы со своими отрядами. В итоге значительную часть конницы в венгерской армии составляли сербские отряды. Кроме сербов в Венгерское королевство также массово переселялись влахи, которые позднее были частично ассимилированы славянским населением.

В 1468—1483 годах вторгшееся в Венгерское королевство турецкое войско опустошило Хорватию и Славонию. В это время турки доходили до Вараждина и словенско-немецких земель. Серьезность положения вынудила венгерского короля дать хорватскому сабору право назначать командующего хорватским войском.

Во время походов против турок в 1480—1481 годах в Венгрию с территории Сербии было уведено около 100 000 человек, примерно поровну в каждом году. Все они были поселены в слабонаселённых Банате и Поморишье. Однако, некоторые исследователи ставят данные цифры под сомнение, указывая, что они равняются населению примерно 1000 сёл. После этого переселение сербов на земли будущей Военной границы продолжалось, например в 1494 году военачальник Павле Киньижи привёл в Венгрию множество сербов из Смедерева.

Турецкие атаки осложнили положение Венгрии. Особенно тяжёлой ситуация была в приграничье, куда постоянно вторгались турки. Кроме того, местные феодалы не желали платить налоги в королевскую казну, что не позволяло венграм нанимать всё больше войск. В 1493 году при очередном турецком вторжении хорватское войско было разбито в битве при Крбаве. Священник Мартинец так описал реакцию на поражение:

После поражения при Крбаве усилились турецкие набеги на Хорватию и Славонию. Иногда местные феодалы платили войскам противника дань и пропускали их через свои владения. Под давлением турок, а также венецианцев, хорватское население постепенно перемещалось севернее, в районы современных Центральной Хорватии и Славонии.

XVI и XVII века

Разрушительные походы османских войск способствовали оттоку сербского населения из Сербии и Боснии в Далмацию, Лику, Кордун, Банию, Славонию, Баранью и Срем. Османы также регулярно вторгались в Хорватию и Славонию. После поражения хорватского войска в битве при Крбаве хорватское дворянство все чаще обращалось за помощью в Вену. В 1522 году австрийские войска разместились в Хорватии, прикрыв дороги в Австрию и Италию, что упрочило позиции Габсбургов. В 1527 году австрийский герцог Фердинанд был провозглашен хорватским королём. Вместе с этим он предпринимает ряд мер по защите границы, усиливая Краину (так была создана Бихачская капетания), однако турки не ослабляли свой натиск на Вену. Сама Крайна тогда делилась на две составных части. Первая простиралась от Адриатики до реки Савы, а вторая от Савы до Дравы и Дуная.

В это время с османскими войсками бились, в основном, отряды хорватских феодалов и хорватское крестьянское ополчение. Хорватский историк Федор Моачанин отмечал, что формирование Военной границы шло не по заранее определенному плану, а под влиянием момента. Хорватские феодалы нанимали военные отряды на определенный срок для защиты конкретных крепостей и укреплений. Однако, со временем, из-за турецких вторжений и массовой эмиграции местного населения вглубь Хорватии и Венгрии, хорватское дворянство все чаще делегировало защиту своих земель австрийским войскам.

В середине XVI века австрийцы создали две новые капетании в Хорватии и три — в Славонии. С этого времени капетании между Савой и Дравой стали называть  (), а от Савы и до побережья Адриатики —  (). Формально это разделение произошло в 1553 году по распоряжению Ивана Ленковича, когда на границе с Османской империей, а именно на линии Сень — Оточац — Слунь — Глина — Храстовица — Сисак — Иванич (Иванич-Град) — Копривница — Крижевци — Джурджевац — Дрне началось строительство укреплений. Гарнизоны небольших крепостей составляли тяжеловооружённая австрийская и легковооружённая хорватская пехота, а в крупных крепостях гарнизонную службу несла кавалерия (соответственно, тяжёлая австрийская и лёгкая хорватская).

В 1578 году была создана Военная граница (или Военная Крайна), предназначенная для защиты от турок. Таким образом, земли современной Хорватии были разделены Веной на две части: военную и гражданскую. В военную вошли те территории, куда переселялись сербы и влахи, а в гражданскую — непосредственно те районы, которые не соприкасались с Османской империей. После разгрома хорватов в 1493 году турками хорватское население с этих земель начало миграцию на острова и укреплённые города на побережье, а также в Венгрию, Моравию, Италию. Особенно сильно это ощущалось на «военной» территории. Опустошение было настолько велико, что в районах Загреба, Вараждина и Крижевцев к 1584 году насчитывалось только 3000 семей, способных платить налоги. При этом на военном совете в Вене высказывались обвинения, что за такое положение ответственны и местные хорватские и венгерские дворяне. В одном из писем сербских старейшин герцогу Фердинанду из 1596 года говорится, что только между реками Уной и Купой находились 17 совершенно пустых городов, куда сербы просили разрешения заселиться.

Административным центром Военной границы стал специально созданный город Карлштадт (современный Карловац). Подчинялась она непосредственно Вене. На её территории создавались укреплённые населённые пункты, смотровые вышки, крепости. Роль Военной границы неуклонно возрастала. Росли и расходы на её содержание: если в 1520-х годах они составляли около 10 000 форинтов, то в 1570-х уже 550 000. На момент создания Военная граница охватывала около 100 километров границы с Османской империей и насчитывала 88 крепостей и укрепления. В гарнизонах размещались отряды пехоты, вооруженные аркебузами, командовали которыми, в большинстве своем, немецкие офицеры.

Переселявшиеся в Хорватию и Славонию сербы, влахи и хорваты, как правило, селились на земле, бывшей во владении Габсбургов. Меньшая их часть селилась на землях хорватских феодалов, договариваясь с ними об освобождении от барщины. За охрану границы переселенцы получали небольшой участок земли, продовольствие и сукно. Местные хорваты, а также сербы и влахи, пополнявшие ряды граничар, были обычными солдатами либо занимали низшие командные должности. Старшие должности, как правило, занимали немцы. Участок у Покупья именовался Банской границей, там службу несли местные хорватские крепостные. На венгерском участке границы большой процент граничар составляли хорваты, бежавшие с территорий Хорватии и Славонии.

После окончания войны с Турцией в 1593—1606 годов хорватское дворянство посчитало необходимым упразднение военизированной границы. В Вене же преобладал прямо противоположный взгляд на это. Комендант Военной границы герцог Фердинанд требовал милитаризации всей Славонии и Хорватии. Для улаживания противоречий между ними император Матвей II назначил баном хорвата, но остальные требования хорватской знати проигнорировал.

До 1627 года Военная граница была номинально под контролем хорватского парламента, однако затем управление осуществлялось непосредственно австрийскими властями. Окончательно налоговые условия и права новых переселенцев на земли Хорватской военной границы, именуемой Карловацким генералатом и Славонской военной границы, которую тогда уже называли Вараждинским генералатом, были определены (1630) во Влашском статуте ().

В 1627 году сербы-переселенцы получили правовой статус в Империи. Фердинанд II в обмен на пожизненную военную службу предоставил граничарам особое положение и ряд привилегий. Они подчинялись непосредственно Вене, им была выделена земля, они были освобождены от всех повинностей и налогов и не могли стать зависимыми от хорватских дворян кметами (крепостными). В результате, земли Военной Краины вышли из подчинения бану (наместнику императора) и Сабору (хорватскому дворянскому собранию). В 1630 году Фердинанд II даровал сербам «Устав», по которому им предоставлялось внутреннее самоуправление. На Джурджевдан каждое село выбирало судью и кнеза (местного главу с административными правами), а для всех трёх сербских капетаний (военных округов) между Дравой и Савой был создан специальный суд во главе с верховным судьёй. Согласно «Уставу», все граничары были обязаны строить укрепления, а в случае мобилизации все мужчины с 18 лет должны были встать в строй. Помимо борьбы с турками краишники участвовали и в других войнах, которые вела Австрийская империя. Однако, эти привилегии не распространялись на тех переселенцев, которые оседали на землях хорватских феодалов, в первую очередь — Зринских и Франкопанов.
Их положение на землях хорватских магнатов регулировалось договорами с конкретными дворянами, на чьих землях жили бежавшие из Османской империи христиане.

На протяжении XVII века хорватское дворянство копило недовольство. Оно не понимало неподчинения Краины и в то же время требовало для себя офицерских должностей в составе подразделений граничар.

Территория Краины неоднократно расширялась. В 1699 году она охватила и части Славонии, Баната и Бачки. В начале XVIII века к ней были присоединены части Лики, Крбавы, Славонской Посавины и Срема. На протяжении всего этого времени на Военную границу переселялись сербы с подконтрольных туркам земель. К примеру, после поражения турок под Веной в 1683 году, около 40 000 сербов были вынуждены переселиться в окрестности Книна. Другим примером может служить и так называемый «Великий исход сербов», когда в 1690 году под руководством Патриарха Арсения Косово и Метохию покинули 37 000 сербских семей. Большинство из них поселились на территории Военной границы. Тогда же австрийский двор даровал граничарам новые статуты.

Среди покидавших свои дома сербов бытовало мнение, что сражаясь за Габсбургов, они, таким образом, приближают освобождение своей Родины и затем смогут вернуться на землю предков. Также сербы-переселенцы считали, что в Австрийской империи они получат особые земли, свою Патриархию, управление по своим обычаям. Эти надежды в значительной степени угасли после подписания Карловицкого мира. Будущие граничары не могли и представить, что они будут разбросаны по разным землям под начальством немецких офицеров и что им придётся сражаться с турками, венграми и на многих других полях сражений Европы.

В первое время австрийское офицерство и венгерские гражданские власти не доверяли сербским беженцам, опасаясь наличия в их рядах турецких шпионов. В свою очередь, многие сербы не хотели оставлять свои семьи на попечение местным властям и брали их с собой на войну. Это делалось не без оснований: отнюдь не всегда гражданские власти успевали устроить быт новоприбывших, а католическая церковь прилагала все усилия, чтобы склонить их на сторону униатства.

Высшие органы государственной власти и влиятельные силы в империи Габсбургов по-разному смотрели на «сербский вопрос». Императорский двор переживал за безопасность престола и государственных границ; Военный совет стремился набрать как можно больше хороших, но дешёвых солдат; Дворцовую палату интересовали административные и экономические вопросы; венгерские власти и дворянство, как носители венгерской государственной традиции, ставили вопрос о своих правах и о том, каким будет статус сербов на венгерских землях, или на территориях, находящихся под их контролем.

XVIII век: реформы и сражения

По мнению Федора Моачанина, уже в первой половине XVIII столетия австрийским властям стало ясно, что Военная граница утратила прежнюю роль в обороне от турок. В основном, это было связано с утратой турками значительных территорий в Венгрии и Славонии. Однако, в Вене было решено сохранить Военную границу как форму эффективной военной организации. Для этого был предпринят ряд реформ. Окончательную регулярную организацию Военная граница получила при императрице Марии Терезии в 1745—1754. В административном отношении она была разделена на пять генералатов:
 Вараждинский (Крижевачский и Джурджевачский полки)
 Карловачский (Личский, Оточацкий, Огулинский и Слуньский полки)
 Загребский (Глинский и Петриньский полки)
 Славонский (Градишский, Бродский и Петроварадинские полки)
 Банатский (Сербское, Валашское и Немецкое отделения)
Всё мужское население обязано было нести службу в военное время. В мирное время число призванных определялось правительством.
Полковые участки делились на ротные.

После переломного для Османской империи конца XVII и войн начала XVIII веков Вена пошла на решительные реформы в устройстве Краины. Императорский двор стремился сделать Военную границу самоокупаемой, а граничар из ополчения превратить в регулярную армию. В тот период население Военной границы насчитывало более миллиона человек. Каждый седьмой из них был солдатом. В остальных частях венских владений это соотношение было 1:64.

В 1737 году Военная граница получила новые статуты, которые существенно подрывали самоуправление граничар. Значительная часть товарно-денежных отношений и распоряжение имуществом попали под контроль военного командования. В 1743 году был ликвидирован Военный совет в Граце, управление границей перешло к гофкригсрату в Вене. Ещё через два года граница была разделена на одиннадцать полковых округов, которые делились на роты, а те, в свою очередь, на общины во главе с офицером. Обучение граничар стало регулярным. В качестве официального и командного языка был введён немецкий. Теперь граничар мобилизовали уже не с 18, а с 16 лет. В военное время они участвовали в боевых действиях, в мирное занимались муштрой, охраной границы, ветеринарным и таможенным контролем, а также выполнением трудовых повинностей, в том числе и обработкой земли начальства.

В середине XVIII столетия значительное число сербов из Краины переселилось в Россию, в так называемую Новую Сербию (Екатеринославскую губернию) на юге современной Украины. В России из них также формировали воинские подразделения, участвовавшие в боях с крымскими татарами. В то же время в те земли Военной границы, откуда сербы уходили в Россию, прибывали немецкие колонисты, число которых резко возросло.

В 1765 году был сформирован Банатский граничарский полк. Он комплектовался из немецких переселенцев и местных сербов. Переселение немцев для службы в полку началось еще до его создания и шло несколькими «волнами». Первые поселенцы прибыли в 1764 году, затем в 1765 и 1769. В 1782 году часть немцев покинула населенные пункты полка, переселившись севернее, в районы, где не было военной организации. На их места австрийские власти начали приглашать сербские семьи.

В 1790 году конфессиональная картина Военной границы выглядела следующим образом:
 Православных — 473 000 (51,7 %)
 Католиков — 414 000 (45,2 %)
 Кальвинистов — 28 000 (3,1 %)

Этнический состав населения Военной Границы был следующим:
 Сербы — 388 000 (42,4 %)
 Хорваты — 325 000 (35,5 %)
 Румыны — 89 000 (9,7 %)
 Венгры — 69 000 (7,5 %)
 Немцы — 44 000 (4,8 %)

XIX век и упразднение Военной границы
В первой половине XIX века продолжился процесс адаптации и переустройства Военной границы. На несколько лет он был прерван периодом Наполеоновских войн, однако после 1814 года возобновился. 1 ноября 1800 года было отменено деление полков на кантоны и возвращено прежнее административное устройство. Военную границу не обошла стороной и реформа армейских судов, полномочия которых были переданы напрямую в Вену.

В 1848 году началась революция в Европе, которая потрясла и Австрийскую империю. Часть земель Военной границы, в частности, Срем, сербами при поддержке хорватского бана Елачича была преобразована в Сербскую Воеводину, просуществовавшую до 1860 года. В то же время все австрийские силы на юге империи были организованы в 4-ю «Южнославянскую армию». В 1851 году она была распущена, а часть граничарских полков были переименованы.

Территорию Военной границы охватила рекатолизация. Часть православных перешла в униатство, часть переселилась на территорию возрожденных автономных княжеств Сербии и Валахии. В 1846 году конфессиональная картина Военной границы выглядела следующим образом:
 Православных — 598 603
 Римокатоликов — 514 545
 Грекокатоликов — 62 743
 Протестантов — 49 980
 Иудеев — 537

Согласно данным переписи Австрийской империи 1850-51 годов территорию Военной границы населяло 958 877 человек. Этнический состав выглядел следующим образом:
 хорваты — 480 494 человека (50,1 % населения)
 сербы — 310 964 человека (32,4 %)
 румыны — 113 723 человека (11,9 %)
 немцы — 37 875 человек (3,9 %)
 словаки и чехи — 8 822 человека (0,9 %)
 венгры — 4 985 человек (0,5 %)
 евреи — 479 человек (0,1 %)
 другие — 1 535 (0,2 %)

Согласно данным той же переписи в 1851 году католики преобладали на территории Оточацкого, Огулинского, Крижевачского, Градишского, Джурджевачского и Бродского полков, православные — на территории Ликского и Петроварадинского полков и в Банатском генералитете, а Слуньский полк имел примерно равное количество православных и католиков.

Когда стала очевидной слабость Османской империи, «Военная граница» потеряла смысл своего существования и постепенно была упразднена. В 1850 году Краинским основным законом Вена поставила точку в длительном процессе реформирования и переустройства Военной границы. И хотя в 1873 году для неё было создано отдельное военное управление, уже в 1881 году по указу императора Крайна была демилитаризована. 8 января 1881 года Военная граница объединилась с Хорватией и Славонией в венгерскую административно-территориальную единицу Королевство Хорватия и Славония. До этого собственно Хорватия и Славония территориально не соприкасались, между ними находились земли Военной границы. К тому времени вдоль границы с Боснией и другими турецкими владениями образовались области компактного проживания сербов — Далмация, Лика, Кордун, Бания и Славония. И уже сформировался особый субэтнос в рамках сербской нации — краишники.

Василие Крестич писал:

После демилитаризации военных областей сербское население более активно стало участвовать в политической жизни, произошёл скачок в экономической деятельности, во многих городах продолжили свою работу сербские культурные общества. Население бывшей Военной Краины имело своих представителей в хорватском, венгерском и далматинском парламентах. Однако области бывшей Военной границы были развиты слабо, как и Хорватия и Славония, которые наряду с Истрией были наименее развитыми землями в Австро-Венгрии. Поэтому многие бывшие граничары покинули Австро-Венгрию. По некоторым оценкам, до 1914 года в США и страны Западной Европы эмигрировало около 240 000 человек.
