Subjective Realism in the Italian Film
In two early films by Roberto Rossellini, Open City (Roma, Città Aperta,1945) and Paisan (Paisà, 1946), there were remarkable sequences of relatively unanalyzed events whose harshness and direct impact seemed to possess an extra measure of the present tense. The aesthetic vigor of these sequences precluded the possibility of presenting subjective reality, the world seen from a point of view. Rossellini's Italian confreres who have elected to present an authentic subjective reality have had to employ an artistic selectivity that has led them in different and interesting directions. Three films which purport to be, in some sense, documents of the human condition, yet which embody different aesthetic principles, are La Terra Trema (Terra Trema: Episodio del Mare, 1948), Umberto D. (1955), and Il Posto (1961).
Visconti's La Terra Trema, does not, as do the two other listed films, present a point of view of a single participant of the action, but it does present a point of view from outside its theater of action. There is a narrator who places the scene by announcing such things as the fact that the Sicilian fishermen bring their catch back to the wholesalers who "buy for nothing the fish they have caught with such pain." When the characters themselves take over the dramatic action, there is still an omnipresent sense of moral judgement that pervades the atmosphere. The extent to which one can accept the present point of view as realistic is in a large sense the extent to which one is in sympathy with the film's underlying Marxist analysis of society.
But putting such considerations aside for the moment, it is still reasonable to assert that any film that is a worthwhile statement presents a certain amount of interpretation and analysis of reality and that this analysis is more forceful the more closely it is allied with its medium of reality. One of the grounds for divergence among the so-called realist filmmakers is a gneral disagreement as to what kind of reality (psychological, social, physical, etc.) is most fundamental. La Terra Trema is then an attempt to depict social reality in terms of the Marxist orientation. To that end Visconti made some radical aesthetic decisions that distinguished the film from its contemporaries. The degree to which Visconti was able to immerse his vision in external reality, however, is a matter open to considerable question.
The fishermen portrayed in the film are fishermen in real life who were recruited at the scene of the story's location. The intent was to have characters who would be organically a part of the environment that was to be filmed and thus to have action emerge in a completely spontaneous way. Visconti even let these non-professionals write their own dialogue so that they could express themselves in their own words. The fact that they did write their own lines, however, points to one of the difficulties of the film. Far from being filmed in a spontaneous situation, these fishermen were compelled to act within the rigid structure of a melodramatic plot line. In this connection we add that in order to perform successfully in a dramatic production, an important attribute for an actor to possess is a vigorous imagination. It is unlikely that Sicilian fishermen who have never left their village would be skilled in this regard. Thus the fishermen are unlikely to be able to "flesh out" any performance of a scene in which the action was not one of total spontaneity. The result in La Terra Trema was acting that was frequently uneven.
The evident unevenness of the film was made even more conspicuous by other aesthetic choices of Visconti. The photography in the film featured some of the first success ful deep-focus scenes shot on location and in typical weather conditions. With much of the set in focus, Visconti eschewed classical montage and held shots for sometimes as long as several minutes in order to preserve their psychological integrity. This only emphasized the amateurish nature of the acting in several dull scenes. Moreover, deep-focus photography that neglects montage must be played out in real time. Such a technique is difficult to integrate with a melodramatic plot. Renoir was able to do it in Le Grande Illusion (1937) by the adroit use of elliptical action. Visconti, however, plays everyting out and thus undercuts his own plot dynamics by stretching out the film's length to over three hours.
The comparison of Visconti to Renoir reveals other significant differences. Renoir has said that he preferred mise-en-scène in depth so that he could more freely move about his characters. That is, his camera was made more flexible and accommodating to the action. To avoid the "posed" shot, Renoir not only composed shots in depth, but made his characters move within the shot and employed elegant panning, tilting, and tracking shots to follows the action. Visconti, on the other hand, does not employ any tracking shots, and most of his shots (which, as was mentioned, are of long duration) are fixed frame – characters enter the frame and take up a position. The effect is just what Renoir avoided – the posed shot. Visconti does use some camera pans, but they do not follow action, nor do they contribute to a sense of screen kinetics. Instead they have the effect of an aesthetic exploration. This static use of the camera gives La Terra Trema a stagy aura, despite some excellent photography of the authentic locations achieved within the self-imposed limitations.
The point to be made is not that La Terra Trema is awful (though it ihas been vastly overpraised), but that aesthetic decisions made by Visconti, for which he has been frequently commended, served to undercut the impact of the film. One is left with a sense of static pictorialism after viewing the film. It is as though critics feel that Visconti deserves to be praised for arriving at visual aestheticism "with one had tied behind his back". Much preferable to such a scheme is Robert Flaherty's Man of Aran (1934), in which aestheticism was more consciously targeted and more successfully achieved.
The plot of La Terra Trema, independent of the mise-en-scène, is not a strong point, either. Not only are the members of the family made out bo be strangely heroic, but then they are shown to be subject to amazing lapses of foresight. As Dwight MacDonald has pointed out
Why, for example, does the proletarian hero take his fishing boat, which he has acquired by mortgaging his home in order to be independent of the wholesaler, out in a storm when no other boats venture forth? The commentary says it is because he is poor and cannot afford a day's idleness, but this is nonsense, since he could even less afford to wreck his boat, which he does.
Had Visconti made more appropriate decisions for the proper expression of his message, his film probably would have not been very distinctive at all; it probably would have resembled one of the American social realist films of the Thirties.
In terms of documenting the human condition, Umberto D. and Il Posto are more successful. Umberto D. Presents a collection of events in an old man's life, most of which contribute to his sense of uselessness and isolation. He finally decides to put an end to his life. However, at the film's end he realizes in a stroke that his feelings for his little dog outweigh all the reasons he had been able to muster on behalf of his suicide. The subjective point of view here is the old man (and to a lesser extent a pregnant housemaid who lives next to him). The effort is to present everyday happenstances in all their detail (though still dramatically constructed) so as to reveal the consciousness. To a large extent this is successful; the old man does not philosophize about his existence. Instead he progresses to his morose contemplation of self-destruction by living out a succession of mundane experiences.
Il Posto presents a disarmingly conventional theme: a young man gets a job in the big city. The subjective point of view is more sophisticated and forceful than in Umberto D. While Umberto D. does present events dramatically arranged and selected, they are nevertheless "objectively" presented. Il Posto, in contrast, presents a succession of key moments in the life of the boy that have an affective mise-en-scène despite exceptionally objective acting and event-structure. Unlike the previously discussed films, however, Il Posto presents an evolving consciousness that is expressed in terms of the quasi-subjective cinematography. As the boy is gradually absorbed into the corporate existence, he continually adapts to it, not with conscious pleasure or displeasure but simply as a matter of course. It is the only way open. In Umberto D. there seems to be a blind faith that if all the mundane details of the old man's life are presented, we will be able to understand his condition. Thus, though an event may be dramatically chosen, the details of that event are all presented without regard to their relative importance. Il Posto, however, manages to bring out events which are much more banal than those in Umberto D., yet which seem more significant due to the subjective progression of the story. The psychological distance between the young boy in ll Posto and the audience is much smaller than that between the old man and the audience in Umberto D.. The blend of documentary style events with subjective cinematography in Il Posto represents a unique middle ground between the Neorealist films and the more conventional narrative films of Europe. It also shows the way to get out of the stylistic dead-end that presented itself to many of the early realist enthusiasts.

BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) — Brazil's agency for indigenous peoples has sent off a rare and high-risk expedition hoping to contact a small, isolated group in the Amazon and reunite its members with some of their relatives, saying the move is necessary to avoid bloodshed in an area near the border with Peru.
A team of nearly two dozen sponsored by the FUNAI agency headed up the Coari River over the weekend looking for the group of at least 22 people who are members of the widespread Korubo indigenous community and live in the Javari valley, in the northern state of Amazonas. Brazil's army, federal police and health ministry are backing the initiative, which could take weeks.
The last time FUNAI organized such a big expedition was in 1996, also in that region. The Javari valley, an area of more than 8 million hectares (nearly 31,000 square miles), or bigger than Hungary, is home to the biggest concentration of isolated indigenous peoples in Brazil, amounting to at least 11 groups.
The initiative is the agency's first major operation during the administration of President Jair Bolsonaro, a far-right former army captain who pledged to stop demarcation of indigenous lands and allow miners to operate in their lands.
Brazilian law says that contact with isolated tribes can be used only as a last resort to preserve their lives. Bruno Pereira, FUNAI's coordinator for isolated indigenous peoples who is leading the expedition, said the objective is to ease tensions between the isolated group of Korubos and a group of indigenous Matis who live about 12 miles (20 kilometers) away.
The Matis contacted the Korubos in 2013, initially in a friendly manner, but in the following year there was a deadly clash between the two groups, FUNAI said. After that incident, some of the Korubos migrated from the area, and reported that those who stayed mistakenly believed their relatives had been killed by the Matis. Some of the Korubos who left are in FUNAI's expedition.
Pereira said the Matis have repeatedly requested an intervention of Brazil's government because they believe the isolated Korubos will want revenge soon.
"There has already been conflict and death," Pereira told The Associated Press and three other media organizations at the FUNAI office in Brazil's capital. "This proximity of 20 kilometers between them is a catastrophic scenario. If there is a new confrontation with the Matis, the Korubos will respond in their traditional way: violence."
Plans call for the FUNAI team to go up the Coari and find a place to set up a camp. Members will then wait while the Korubos on the expedition try to persuade the isolated group to stay out of Matis territory. FUNAI analysts say there are no assurances the isolated group will believe that the Korubos in the expedition are in fact their relatives, which heightens the danger.
Pereira said the worst case scenario is that the Korubos fight, while the top hope is that the group accepts the visit of their relatives and decides to stop approaching the Matis area. The FUNAI team also includes doctors in case the uncontacted Korubos need support.
Matis have had contact with FUNAI since the 1970s. The Korubo community is in voluntary isolation, although some of its small tribal groups have been in contact with Brazilian authorities since the 1990s.

No contest: Oregon Ducks' rivalry game against Washington Huskies canceled by Pac-12
Ryan Thorburn
The Pac-12 pulled the plug on Oregon's regular-season finale against Washington, which joins a long list of canceled FBS games this season.
The Ducks (3-2) and Huskies (3-1) game scheduled for Saturday at Autzen Stadium was canceled and declared a no contest by the conference office on Thursday afternoon.
Washington announced Wednesday that all football-related activities were paused due to an increase in positive COVID-19 tests within the program. The team remain paused Thursday, and the team's practice was canceled for the second consecutive day.
"This decision was made under the Pac-12's football game cancellation policy due to Washington not having the minimum number of scholarship student-athletes available for the game due to a number of positive football student-athlete COVID-19 cases and resulting isolation of additional football student-athletes under contact tracing protocols," the Pac-12 explained in a statement.
"Under conference policy, the game will be declared a no contest. Not contesting this game is very disappointing to our student-athletes and our fans. While all of us want to see our student-athletes on the field competing, our No. 1 priority must continue to be the health and safety of all those connected to Pac-12 football programs."
The Huskies are "well below" meeting the Pac-12's minimum threshold of 53 healthy players — including at least one quarterback, seven offensive linemen and four defensive linemen — for the game to be played, according to the Seattle Times, which first reported the news of the cancellation.
"I'm so disappointed for everyone involved here," Washington athletic director Jennifer Cohen said in a statement. "Every year our student-athletes, coaches, staff and Husky Nation circle this game on our calendar and so look forward to this amazing rivalry. The student-athletes from both schools have worked so hard, and I'm just really disheartened we are this point where we are unable to play due to our COVID-19 positives within the program.
"We will always put the health and well-being of our students, coaches and staff as our greatest priority when making decisions. We will continue to work in collaboration with our medical professionals as they advise us on how to best move forward."
Oregon coach Mario Cristobal said Wednesday his team was continuing to prepare for the rivalry game as normal until told otherwise.
"We go with what we know, and right now we know we're playing Washington on Saturday. It's that simple," Cristobal said when asked about keeping his players engaged in preparing for a game that might not happen. "How do we stay motivated? Being direct and honest, understanding the situation, the circumstances."
The no contest makes Washington — which has not played a road game all season due to cancellations but has highest winning percentage (.750) in the North — the division winner by default and advances the Huskies to the Dec. 18 Pac-12 championship game.
However, the Ducks could still represent the North if Washington is unable to play in the conference title game due to King County (Wash.) COVID-19 protocols, which still require a 14-day quarantine for close contacts.
The South Division race is also a mess as the Pac-12 attempts to finish its abbreviated season in a pandemic.
Colorado, which is 4-0 overall but only 3-0 in conference play after having games against Arizona State and USC canceled, hosts Utah on Saturday at Folsom Field.
USC (4-0) can clinch the division with a win at UCLA on Saturday at the Rose Bowl. The Buffaloes will need a win over the Utes and some help from Chip Kelly to get a shot at the conference title.
"The health and safety of all student-athletes is always the top priority, and our thoughts are with those at Washington and everywhere who have been impacted by this virus," Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens said in a statement. "We are disappointed for our Oregon football student-athletes who have done everything right and who have been fully committed to all safety protocols from the start.
"Our team was excited for the opportunity to play for the Pac-12 North Division title this weekend in this great rivalry, and we will continue to practice in anticipation of our next game."
The Ducks have won 14 of the last 16 games against their rivals from Seattle but the Huskies lead the all-time series 60-47-5.
After the series was paused in 1943-44 during World War II, Oregon and Washington have played football every year except for 2001.
"We are disappointed for our players and fans and for our opponent that our game will not be played this weekend," first-year Washington coach Jimmy Lake said in a statement. "We are doing everything we can to resume football activities as soon as we can safely do so."

Q: Extra byte(s) at the end of SSL Packet (beyond the length of the packet) My application is using SSL over SMTP.
But I faced a problem of extra byte at the end.
The packet which I recieved is as follows: (Hex dump of SSL Record packet)
17 03 01 01 00 9A 07 74 E3 4B E0 07 17 71 38 BF 29 7E 70
E9 14 CC B1 97 77 4C B9 AB A0 9F 88 7B D4 ED 14 8E 97 F2

DC 6B DF 41 11 74 7B 55 B8 D3 3E 8D EF 96 52 B0 BD 50 35
09 E7 2A FF 0E 39 58 C7 91 99 95 22 6F B0 73 57 28 B4 EA
C6 28 4C DC 5C DA 6C 31 FB 63 71 7D 08 F0 DD 78 C4 08 C5
27 90 04 C7 09 59 E4 83 F4 4D 9A 7B 65 E9 AF 38 44 B4 CD
9E 4D BE 80 0D 07 24 8D C3 79 99 DC 02 81 D7 97 21 16 0B
28 44 82 ED E4 5F E6 91 81 A5 28 C1 C8 92 60 36 4E DE 27

69 D4 05 9D 67 86 6D E9 66 D0 83 4A D8 5E 20
The length of this packet as seen from SSL 3.1 protocol is 256 Bytes.
But there is one extra byte at the end (shown in bold at the end).
Due to this extra byte at the end, when next packet is being read, then this 20 is also read and causes error of SSL_R_WRONG_VERSION_NUMBER (I am using OpenSSL Library for SSL).
Next packet which I recieved is like (as per packet sniffer)
17 03 01 00 18 ...
But when next read is being done, OpenSSL reads packet as 20 17 03 01 .. which causes the error (since 17 03 is wrong version for 03 01)
I would like to know if this (extra byte at the end) is a part of SSL standard.
Please suggest me how to handle this case in OpenSSL. OpenSSL version is 1.0.0.

A: No. The extra byte is not as a part of SSL Standard.
As per SSL Standard (RFC 2246 for TLS 1.0, Latest is RFC 5246 for TLS 1.2) the record of SSL is as below:
struct {
    ContentType type;
    ProtocolVersion version;
    uint16 length;
    select (CipherSpec.cipher_type) {
        case stream: GenericStreamCipher;
        case block:  GenericBlockCipher;
    } fragment;
} TLSCiphertext;

The fragment will be exactly of the length as specified by uint16 length member. So, the 20 must be getting inserted either incorrectly by the Server Implementation, or some other software in the middle is inserting it when the data is in network.
Openssl reads exactly the number of bytes as specified by uint16 length member which is why it doesn't read 20.
Some of the points which you can focus on are:
1. Does this happen with the first application data packet which is transferred immediately after handshake? (From the content type I assumed this packet dump is for application data)
2. Is this a random occurance? Do all connections with that particular server exhibit the same behavior?
3. You can try to get the dump of the packet sent at the Server to see if 20 is present when the packet is being sent at the Server side itself or it is getting added during it's flight.
4. Could there be a Firewall related problem? (I don't know about Firewall, so didn't give more details here)
Hope this helps!

A: I was bashing my head with this one today; finally resorted to this:
_sslStream.Write(merged, 0, merged.Length - 1)
Problem solved, move along!


On July 6, 2011, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California made its first substantive ruling in Apple's attempt to enforce its "App Store" mark against Amazon.com, denying Apple's motion for a preliminary injunction. Apple had based its motion on claims that Amazon.com's use of "Appstore" constituted both trademark infringement and dilution of its "App Store" mark.
To win on trademark infringement, Apple needed to show that it was likely to prove at trial (1) that the mark "App Store" is protectable and (2) that Amazon.com's use of "Appstore" is likely to cause consumer confusion. After briefly discussing the "protectability" element and Amazon.com's argument that "App Store" is an unprotectable generic term, Judge Phyllis Hamilton merely assumed for the purposes of the motion, without actually deciding, that the "App Store" mark was protectable as a descriptive term with arguably acquired secondary meaning, as she had decided to rule against Apple on the "confusion" element. Although she found some of the factors in the confusion analysis to "somewhat favor" Apple, it was not enough to establish a likelihood of confusion between the two uses at this point in the proceeding. Without establishing a likelihood of confusion, Apple could not establish that it was likely to prevail on the claim of trademark infringement.
Judge Hamilton similarly ruled against Apple on its dilution claim. First, she found that Apple did not establish that its "App Store" mark is famous, a requirement for a finding of dilution. She also found no evidence of "blurring" between the marks, no evidence of an intent on the part of Amazon.com to create an association with Apple's mark, no evidence of actual association between the marks, and no evidence to support a finding of "tarnishment" of Apple's mark. Accordingly, the she found that Apple had not established that it was likely to prevail on the dilution claim.
Because Apple failed to establish a likelihood of success on either the infringement or the dilution claim, its motion for preliminary injunction was denied. The full trial is currently set for October of 2012.

Northwestern Mutual Commits to Neighborhood Revitalization with Nearly $1.7 Million in Grants
Funding will support local organizations focused on housing, community resources and more
MILWAUKEE, July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Northwestern Mutual, through its Foundation, is invested in building the capacity of Milwaukee neighborhoods and residents to create a stronger city. Today, the company announced nearly $1.7 million in grants to local nonprofits and organizations that drive community development through housing support, access to youth and family resources, food programs and more.
Since 2013, Northwestern Mutual has invested in Milwaukee's Amani, Metcalfe Park and Muskego Way neighborhoods, supporting nonprofits focused on fostering safe neighborhoods, healthy and thriving youth, strong families and quality education.
"Partnering with residents and neighborhood organizations is critical to understanding the challenges and opportunities in our city," said Eric Christophersen, President, Northwestern Mutual Foundation. "Together, we're laying the foundation for long-term, sustainable impact in Milwaukee."
Spotlight: Amani Housing Strategy
The Amani Housing Strategy was developed in partnership with residents, stakeholders and community partners to address the critical need for quality and affordable housing in the Amani neighborhood. The comprehensive plan will engage those already living in and serving the community to improve existing and new housing stock and expand the range of quality developments in the neighborhood. The strategy will concentrate resources to transform neighborhoods block by block.
A collaborative team representing LISC, Dominican Center, Amani United, Ezekiel CDC, and Northwestern Mutual will pilot this concept on a single block in Amani beginning this summer and continuing through 2020. The pilot will connect residents to existing housing programs, engage the community in the revitalization process, and provide residents with on-site training to learn transferable skills.
"The Amani Housing Strategy will not only improve the physical infrastructure of our neighborhood, but it will also deepen the sense of community and connection among neighbors, leading to improved safety, health and economic opportunity for Amani residents," said Dominican Center Executive Director Sr. Patricia Rogers.
Existing Northwestern Mutual partners like Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity will be among the many organizations contributing to the Amani Housing strategy. Earlier this year, the non-profit partnered with Northwestern Mutual for two Rock the Block volunteer events to engage neighborhood residents in beautification and improvement projects in both Amani and Metcalfe Park, including the pilot block.
The company recently unveiled a new piece of original artwork highlighting Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, created by Evelyn Patricia Terry, in its public art exhibit, Giving Gallery: Turn Your Hope Into Action.

MHS orchestra scores all ones at MSBOA festival

On March 4, Monroe High School's orchestra attended the Michigan Solo Band and Orchestra Association (MSBOA) festival at Woodhaven High School where they exclusively played two pieces of music for three judges, earning all top ratings.
The Orchestra has been working on their music since Sept., getting ready for the MSBOA festival.
Senior Lauryn Hightower, the president of the orchestra, led her group to finish with a perfect score of straight ones. Hightower is not only the orchestra president, but is also the cello section leader.
"The other officers and I took charge of getting the rest of the orchestra to where we needed to be and made sure we stayed quiet. The judges start judging you from the moment you walk in the building," said Hightower.
Hightower is not the only member who led the orchestra to get a perfect score. Junior first chair violinist Mackenzie Longfellow, who leads the group in tuning and is the section leader for first violins, also helped the group achieve high ratings.
"It was really nice to continue our streak of getting ones at festival on Felder's last year before retiring," Longfellow said. "And to get all ones this year was a great send-off for her."
Junior Emily Benitez is the orchestra's viola section leader.
"For me, the festival was all about preparation. I'm section leader, so I had to learn the music, play it out, and help the other viola players in my section," said Benitez.

The 29th Infantry Division in Popular Media
2Lt. Barclay
July 2017 in Civil Announcements
Aside from being a real-life division in the United States Army, the 29th Infantry Division has also been featured in various forms of media, mostly for its role in the Invasion of Normandy during the Second World War. In this short article, we will look at some of these appearances.
The 29th ID is referenced numerous times in the famous 1998 Steven Spielberg film Saving Private Ryan, where the blue and gray insignia of the 29th can be seen numerous times in the opening scene during the American landings on Omaha Beach as part of the Invasion of Normandy. In addition, one of the main characters, T/5 Timothy E. Upham (played by Jeremy Davies, shown right), is mentioned as being on loan from the 29th to Captain Miller's squad and can be seen throughout the film with the very same insignia on his arm.
Various soldiers from the 29th ID can also be seen in the 1962 film - also about the D-Day landings - The Longest Day, prominently featuring the division's actions on Omaha Beach during the Second World War.
Aside from television and film, numerous references to the 29th ID can be found in many different video games. The 1996 game Close Combat is based upon the fighting done by the 29th during Operation Cobra in WWII. In the 2006 RTS game Company of Heroes, the player is put in control of the 116th Infantry Regiment of the 29th, again during the Battle of Normandy. The American campaign for Call of Duty 3 puts the player in the shoes of Private Nichols of the 29th a month after the D-Day landings. The division is also featured to in the 2002 FPS, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.
Finally, the division of course lends its name to this very virtual military unit with over 300 current members founded in 2005, based in Darkest Hour, ARMA 3, and Rising Storm. The unit regularly pays homage to the efforts of the real life 29th ID during the Normandy landings through the use of equipment and weapons during missions and drills that were used at the time, as well as a rank structure very similar to that of the USA in WWII.
The legacy of the 29th Infantry Division is certainly one which continues to live on outside of the battlefield within popular media; and with its integral role in the D-Day Normandy landings, as well as its contributions to the present-day War on Terror in the Middle East, this legacy is sure to live on.

It also lends its name to a Darkest Hour (a popular Red Orchestra mod), ARMA 3, and Rising Storm virtual military unit.[48]

That is really cool..
Corporal Rasmus H. Svenson
A quick comment on that wikipedia article: While I have fixed it now (by making it fill less of the page and actually having sources, etc.), someone has been repeatedly inserting borderline advertisement for us on that page. Poorly written text with no sources or links, simply an entire paragraph about US, that was removed for the reasons stated previously before BEING PUT BACK IN, by what I assume to be the same guy.
You can look in the previous editions of the page to see this happening.
While this has been fixed, I still thought of it as embarrassing, since our small size means that the text was almost certainly written by a member.
Writing articles about YOURSELF is kind of... ech IMO.
Sorry about the long tirade, but I just thought I'd weigh in.
TL;DR: Being on Wikipedia means with almost 99% certainty that one of our own did it, which is honestly just not cool. If it gets edited out (AGAIN), better just let it lie, whoever is doing this.

"Kentucky House," a new government conspiracy theory thriller is 'Official Selection' at The Beverly Hills Film Festival
The Road to Kentucky House
April 01, 2014 (PRLEAP.COM) Entertainment News
April 1, 2014 - What does the government really know about flu strains, human vaccination, and deadly viruses? Who is really at risk? Where have all the deadly contagions gone? What about bio-terror? These are the underlying questions of an original, new film script called "Kentucky House," (www.kentuckyhousefilm.com) by Patricia M. Mahon which has just been named "Official Selection" at the Beverly Hills Film Festival (www.beverlyhillsfilmfestival.com).
The script's lead character, Eleanor Hayes, has worked on deadly viruses, diseases, and contagions at the Center for Disease Control her entire life. She has also been privy to secret "vaccination" programs by the US Government. Well known in the inner circles of science, the story suggests that our government is doing things in the name of resource allocation and population control that are as indescribable as they are unbelievable.
"My father died back in 2004 from the flu shot and on the tenth anniversary of his death to the very hour, I completed this script," says screenwriter Mahon. "His untimely death made me want to explore the history of vaccines and inoculations and not all of it is positive, righteous and virtuous," adds Mahon.
When Eleanor Hayes comes across some questionable criteria and unsettling benchmarks with respect to the flu shot, she blows the whistle on the Feds. She invariably must run for her life from "containment specialists" that want to "talk with her." While on the run, she is intercepted by Burgess, a former Defense Intelligence agent who brings her to Kentucky House.
On the outside, Kentucky House is a stately homestead tucked behind the broad trees of the Old South. But its high shutters, low hedges, and gentle paths belie the highly sophisticated technology center on the inside. Filled with elite exiled intelligence personnel from the NSA, the NRO, the OICI, and the INR … the farmhouse is equipped with the latest in surveillance, satellite, HD, thermal and global tracking technologies.
With plans to infiltrate the most hazardous and highly restricted labs of the CDC, the Kentucky House team sets out to confiscate weapons of both bio and domestic terror. Once inside, the true horrors of contagion, experimentation, scourge and plague are unearthed … exposing the depraved role of disease and pandemic occurring presently and throughout human history.
Not without precedent in modern civilization, the script explores the same extremism that brought the horrors of the Gulag, Unit 731, and Laboratory 12.
Patricia M. Mahon is also the author of The Abbey Yard, an Irish fantasy that was originally produced as a stage play, But That's Not All an infomercial comedy, and Selling Life a post-911 New York Drama. She has also won numerous international poetry prizes and previous screenwriting awards.

The Scriptures include many types, or figures, which help illustrate important foundational truths. In this look at the ministries of Elijah and Elisha, we see Elijah as a type of Old Covenant prophet, while Elisha is a type of the New Covenant prophet. Similarly, John the Baptist is the last of the Old Covenant prophets, ministering in the spirit of Elijah with repentance, while Jesus is the greatest Prophet under the New Covenant. All who are baptized in the Holy Spirit are meant to carry on this New Covenant prophetic ministry. Just as Elisha's ministry brought the removal of a curse, Jesus ministers in the Spirit of His Father, removing the curse of sin and bringing life. In 2 Kings 2, after Elijah was taken up, Elisha healed the waters at Jericho that had been cursed by Joshua. Jesus is the healing water for us now in the New Covenant. Percy Gutteridge explains clearly the scripture "For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he" (Luke 7:28).
This message seems to have been delivered at the first Vineyard Church, pastored by Ken Gulliksen. Ken and Pastor Gutteridge were fast friends.

MORE ON JAMES C. RISK
Readers have more to add on Jim Risk. -Editor
Douglas Saville writes:
James C. (-harles) Risk (Jim Risk) was involved in Orders and Decorations, mostly, and foreign coins and medals and that's what he did at Coin Galleries, and he was close friends with Howard Linecar, the Head of Books at Spinks in the 1960s - early 1980s, until I took over in the mid-1980s. He was a closer friend with Douglas Liddell (DGL to everyone one at Spinks, and to all who knew him well). The reason for that was that Howard (HL) never travelled to the US - he would not fly - and DGL did go there - very often, and he had numerous good customers in the US; he did business with Stacks and with Jim Risk, of course, and Jim visited London frequently, as well.
Jim headed Stacks' "Coin Galleries" in NY. He often visited London - and socialised with people connected with the Royal Household- I am sure he knew the Librarian at Windsor Castle quite well. Of course, Spink had three Royal Warrants then - HRH The Queen, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and HRH The Prince of Wales. Spink were in King Street then, around the corner literally from St. James's Palace, and a 10 minutes' walk from Buckingham Palace.
He was a known expert on British Orders, and he wrote the ANS' Numismatic Notes & Monographs 106 on British orders and decorations (1945). His speciality was the history of the Order of the Bath and he wrote the book on that subject for Spink who published it in the late 1960s. I recall him as charming, but with a bit of a quick temper - he did not suffer fools at all- and a bit of a hard task master. I liked him, and I respected him a good deal.
Peter van Alfen of the American Numismatic Society writes:
When the ANS was preparing to move from Washington Heights down to the financial district in 2003-2004 we discovered in one of the old building's cavernous basements two rather large tightly wrapped tube-like bundles that bore tags identifying the owner: James Risk. Commander Risk, as we all knew him at the ANS (he'd been discharged from the Navy at the end of WWII with the rank of Lt. Commander), was a man of a different age, always quite formal and polite, yet very charming. He was, of course, still alive at the time although quite advanced in age.
We called and he came by to see what these long forgotten bundles were all about. Upon seeing them he remembered. There were over 100 Russian propaganda posters in the bundles dating to 1946–1948. He had collected these while in Moscow in the years immediately after WWII ended while working for the State Department, buying them directly from the printers, but feared because of growing McCarthyism, that he would risk his job and much else if he were caught with them after returning to the US. Having served in the USSR, he was a prime target for suspicion.
The solution to his dilemma, he decided, was to arrange to store them at the ANS, where he had been a member since 1939, until he felt it was safe to retrieve them. For over half a century they collected dust. Commander Risk very generously donated the posters to the ANS, which were featured in an ANS Magazine article I wrote for the summer 2005 issue ("Long Live Our Glorious Motherland! Posters and Medals from the Birth of the Cold War," vol. 4.2, pp. 16–33). You will note, however, that Commander Risk is not mentioned by name in the article. He wished to remain anonymous at the time because he still felt that any association with these instruments of communist propaganda might jeopardize his reputation, especially with the Queen.
He died on October 23, 2005, a few months after the article appeared. We still have the posters, hoping someday to find a buyer since obviously they don't quite fit in with the rest of the ANS's collection!
Here is a link to a digital version of the ANS Magazine article with many of the posters illustrated. (Note that we're having to use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine link since we're currently rebuilding parts of the ANS Magazine site):
https://web.archive.org/web/20121124075530/http://
ansmagazine.com/Summer05/Motherland
And here is a link to his obituary in the Spring 2006 issue of the ANS Magazine:
http://numismatics.org/magazine/riskspring06/
David Thomason Alexander writes:
Thanks for your remembrance of the late Lt. Commander James C, Risk, USN Ret. Jim was a true original, whose knowledge of world Orders and decorations was second to none. He was an expert witness in court actions involving spurious Orders, but found educating lawyers and judges in the intricacies of false decorations to be beyond mortal capability. With cataloging questions, I learned after joining Stack's-Coin Galleries in 1990, that one had to find him in a good mood! If he was not, one quickly found that a conversation with the Egyptian sphinx would be about as fulfilling.
Jim's ties to the Royal Family were genuine. He told me once of a visit to Arthur Durke of Connaught, who displayed his pre-1914 uniform as a Prussian Field Marshal and lamented the abandonment of the family's ancestral German titles during World War I.
As a State Department officer, it was his task to oversee the successful transfer of Embassy files back to the U.S. despite the avid attention of the Soviet intelligence services. His reward upon returning to America was to be placed on the "A List" of Wisconsin Senator Joseph R. McCarthy.
We are unlikely to see his like again, to paraphrase Shakespeare.
McCarthyism was ugly, and it's understandable that Risk would want to keep a low profile and avoid any appearance of a Russian connection. It must have left a scar to be felt so many years afterwards.
Thanks, everyone. -Editor

This line finds the header "set-cookie" in the response and sets it to the instance variable.
This code makes another request from the same connection established earlier and sets the header cookies to authentication cookie. It then tells the connection to use a specific endpoint (using the API, based on what information you would like) and adds some parameters. This sets the response to whatever is returned from the api and then response.body takes that response and prints out the content of the response but without the headers or other junk we don't really want to see.


Understand the idea behind the Daily Data Back-up and see why it can be a great benefit to have them available.
If you manage a website, having a backup is something extremely important, especially if you have important data or you have invested cash and time in building the Internet site. There are different situations why you may need a backup - if you update a script and something fails, if you eliminate a file or a whole folder by mistake, and so on. Having regular backups will help you avoid any loss of information or at least minimize the damage, which is still better than losing the entire site. You'll be able to download a copy of your content on your laptop or computer from time to time, but since you can't do that after each and every change, you'll have to rely on the backups your host company generates. Due to the fact that this is something extremely necessary, you need to ensure that they keep up-to-date backups, because a backup performed once every one or two weeks will not do any good in case you run a site like an online store or a holiday accommodation booking portal.
Our system generates a full data backup of the files and databases in every single semi-dedicated server account created on our cutting-edge web hosting platform, so in case you host your Internet sites with us, you won't ever have to worry about data loss, especially having in mind that the backup copies are generated a minimum of four times every day and are kept for about seven days. Restoring the content will take just a couple of minutes and can be done in two ways. The first one is to send a support ticket with that request, revealing from which date you wish the data backup to be restored. Another way is to restore the content all by yourself, because the backups are available within the File Manager section of the CP and you may examine them freely to see what each folder includes. All it will take to restore a backup is to copy the contents of the backup folder to the domain folder. You shall be able to see the timestamp for every backup within the account, so you can pick the one you need.

Wołowiec () – szczyt w Tatrach Zachodnich o wysokości 2063 m n.p.m. (według niektórych wcześniejszych pomiarów 2064 m).

Topografia
Wołowiec jest zwornikiem dla trzech grani: od wschodu grani głównej z Jarząbczym Wierchem i Łopatą, od południowej strony grani głównej z Rohaczami oraz biegnącej w północnym kierunku bocznej północnej grani Wołowca przez Rakoń i Grzesia do Bobrowca. Ten jeden z najwyższych szczytów polskiej części Tatr Zachodnich wznosi się nad dolinami: Chochołowską, Rohacką i Jamnicką. Od Rohacza Ostrego oddziela go Jamnicka Przełęcz (1911 m), od Łopaty Dziurawa Przełęcz (1836 m), od Rakonia przełęcz Zawracie (1863 m).

Opis
Kopulasty masyw zbudowany z silnie zdeformowanych skał metamorficznych (alaskity i mylonity) został w plejstocenie podcięty z trzech stron przez lodowiec. Stale przebywają na nim kozice, a piarżyska po północnej stronie szczytu zamieszkują świstaki. Wysokość szczytu dokładnie zmierzono już w 1820 r., a sam szczyt był ważnym punktem triangulacyjnym. Dawniej na stokach Wołowca prowadzono wypas. Stoki położone na polskiej stronie wchodziły w skład Hali Chochołowskiej. Z rzadkich w Polsce gatunków roślin stwierdzono występowanie takich gatunków, jak: mietlica alpejska, saussurea wielkogłowa, turzyca Lachenala, ukwap karpacki, wierzba szwajcarska, przymiotno węgierskie.

Z dość obszernego i płaskiego wierzchołka roztacza się bardzo rozległy widok. Janusz Chmielowski w 1898 pisał: "Widok ze szczytu Wołowca jest nadzwyczaj interesujący (...), ku południowemu zachodowi wachlarzowato rozłożona grupa urwistych Rohaczów (...), ku wschodowi Tatry Wysokie przedstawiające się jakby olbrzymia wyspa skalista...". Na północno-zachodnim horyzoncie widoczna jest Babia Góra. W zachodnim kierunku widok na leżące poniżej Rohackie Stawy.

Przez polskich pasterzy szczyt ten nazywany był przeważnie Hrubym Wierchem. Taką nazwę tego szczytu podaje Ludwik Zejszner, który utrzymywał stałe kontakty z ludnością góralską. Słowaccy pasterze nazywali go Wołowcem i ta nazwa zwyciężyła, gdyż znalazła się na mapach sporządzonych przez austriackich kartografów. Z map tych nazwę wzięli polscy badacze Tatr i turyści, od nich przewodnicy zakopiańscy, którzy ją rozpowszechnili. Pierwsze odnotowane zimowe wejście zostało dokonane przez węgierskich taterników w 1906 roku – Imre Barczę z towarzyszem.

Szlaki turystyczne
Przez szczyt przechodzą dwa szlaki turystyczne, trzeci dołącza do niebieskiego na północnym grzbiecie:
  – niebieski szlak, prowadzący boczną granią z Grzesia przez Długi Upłaz i Rakoń na Wołowiec, a dalej wspólnie z czerwonym na Jamnicką Przełęcz i do Doliny Jamnickiej.
 Czas przejścia z Grzesia na Wołowiec: 1:45 h, ↓ 1:30 h
 Czas przejścia z Wołowca do rozdroża w Dolinie Jamnickiej: 1:35 h, ↑ 2:05 h
  – czerwony szlak biegnący główną granią, prowadzący z Rohaczy przez Smutną Przełęcz na Wołowiec (od Jamnickiej Przełęczy razem z niebieskim), a dalej wzdłuż granicy na Łopatę, Jarząbczy Wierch i Kończysty Wierch.
 Czas przejścia z Rohacza Ostrego na Wołowiec: 1:05 h, z powrotem 1:00 h
 Czas przejścia z Wołowca na Jarząbczy Wierch: 2:00 h, z powrotem 1:45 h
   – zielony szlak z Polany Chochołowskiej przez Dolinę Chochołowską Wyżnią, wyprowadzający na grzbiet pomiędzy Rakoniem a Wołowcem. Stąd dalej szlakiem niebieskim. Czas przejścia: 2:40 h, ↓ 2:05 h
Szlaki wejściowe (oprócz szlaku przez Rohacze) są pozbawione większych trudności, natomiast wymagają pokonania stosunkowo dużej odległości i różnicy wzniesień.

Na szczycie odbywa się masowy ruch turystyczny, szczególnie od strony słowackiej – co jest efektem wybudowania w latach 1968–1970 szosy Zuberzec – Zwierówka, która dochodzi do stóp Rakonia i Wołowca. Skutkiem tego jest tzw. erozja turystyczna wokół szczytu.
