Q: Display values without array (print_r) I have a function that displays the actors photos from TMDB to my website is there a way that I can make it print without an array, it prints only with print_r I want to know if I can print it like echo or print.
This is the code:
    public function getCasts($movieID)
{
    if (empty($movieID)) return;

    function cmpcast($a, $b)
    {
        return ($a["order"]>$b["order"]);
    }

    $temp = $this->_call("movie/" . $movieID . "/casts");
    $casts = $temp['cast'];

    $temp = array();
    if (count($casts) > 0)
    {
        usort($casts, "cmpcast");
        foreach ($casts as &$actor) {
            if (!empty($actor['profile_path'])) {
                for ($i=6; $i<count($temp['id']); $i++)
                    if ($temp['name'][$i] == $actor['name']) $temp['char'][$i] .= " / ".str_replace('(voice)', '(hang)', $actor['character']);

                if (!in_array($actor['name'], (array) $temp['name'])) {
                        $temp['pic'][] = "

getImageURL().$actor['profile_path']."'>
".$actor['name']."
".$actor['character']."

";
                    }
            }
        }
    }
    return $temp;
}

A: You could use some kind of loop. Use a for loop if you want to limit the number of item you echo.
For example :
$casts = getCasts(1);

for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
    if (isset($casts['pic'][$i])) {
        echo $casts['pic'][$i];
    }
}

Hope it helps.

Calfhood diseases have a major impact on the economic viability of cattle operations, due to the direct costs of calf losses and treatment and the long-term effects on performance . Furthermore, calf health was prioritised as one of the most important animal health issues facing the Irish livestock industry in a recent expert Policy Delphi study conducted on behalf of Animal Health Ireland (AHI . As part of ongoing AHI work, a group of experts was commissioned to provide evidence-based advice on calf health and disease management to Irish farmers, agricultural advisers and veterinary practitioners. As an initial step, a review series on calf health from birth to weaning has been developed, specifically to provide a scientific evidence base to underpin advisory tools on calf health, and to identify gaps in current knowledge to be filled with targeted research. Even though the envisaged output will be specific for Irish husbandry systems, the scope of the reviews should make them useful for the same purpose elsewhere. The reviews cover both suckler and dairy calf management. However, due to the differences in the nature of these systems, some topics will deal mainly or exclusively with either dairy or suckler calves.
This paper is the last in a three part review series, which collectively focuses on calf health from birth to weaning. The first and second parts focus on general aspects of disease prevention  and the management of diarrhoea  in pre-weaned calves, respectively. In the current paper, we review housing and ventilation as well as prevention and management of pneumonia in recently weaned suckler calves and young dairy calves. There is a very distinct difference in the epidemiology of pneumonia of suckler calves and dairy calves. Most of the risk factors for pneumonia in young dairy calves are identical with what has been discussed in the first paper of this series , whereas additional risk factors for suckler calves will be discussed here.
Calves are born with functional thermoregulatory mechanisms. Therefore, healthy calves are readily able to deal with outdoor temperatures as long as they receive adequate amounts of energy and are provided with a dry, well-bedded and draft-free shelter . The lower critical temperature, at which additional energy is needed for heat production, lies in the range of 10-15°C for calves in the first two weeks of life, declining with age to approximately 6-10°C in older calves, and is highly dependent on air speed [5, 6]. The quality of bedding material is crucial for the amount of heat loss via conduction in calves lying down . Deep straw bedding is superior to other bedding material in its efficacy as an insulator [6, 7] and can provide a high 'nesting score' which has a preventive effect against calf respiratory disease in naturally ventilated calf barns .
Individual housing of dairy calves, either indoors or outside, is generally linked with improved calf health. There is long-term recognition of the benefit to dairy calf health of outdoor housing in hutches, especially for the prevention of diarrhoea and respiratory disease . Hutches have been associated with lower morbidity and mortality in dairy calves [10–12]. No significant difference in either average daily gain, incidence of scours or pneumonia in the first two weeks of life was observed when comparing indoor and outdoor rearing in individual pens, whereby the indoor facilities have not been used for calf rearing before . However, caring for calves in outdoor hutches can be uncomfortable in adverse weather conditions . If calves are housed individually in naturally ventilated calf barns, solid dividers on the side of pens, together with a high 'nesting score', lower the risk for respiratory disease . European legislation prohibits solid walls in individual calf pens and, while it allows calves to be kept individually for the first 8 weeks of life, it encourages group housing for animal welfare reasons (Council Directive 2008/119/EC).
There have been mixed reports on the impact of group housing of calves, both indoors and outside, on calf health. A number of authors have reported higher morbidity [14–19] and mortality  among group-housed pre-weaned dairy calves compared to individual housing. In contrast, two surveys report no difference in mortality between calves in group housing or individual housing [20, 21]. In one out of two similar experiments Kung et al. found that fewer days of medication were needed in group-housed calves than in calves housed individually in hutches. However, the authors discuss the possibility that superior disease detection in individual housing could account for this finding . Mortality was highest in larger calf groups (≥ 7 calves ) and tended to be lower in small groups compared with either individual housed calves or calves kept in large groups . Calves in stable groups had significantly higher daily live weight gains than those in dynamic groups (where new calves were continuously introduced to and exited group housing). The prevalence of both diarrhoea and respiratory disease was more than twice as high among calves in dynamic compared to stable groups . Grouping calves of similar age lowers the risk of respiratory disease compared to groups with wider age differences . A higher incidence of respiratory disease but a lower incidence of diarrhoea has been identified when calves were reared in indoor groups compared with outdoor groups . A review of group housing of dairy calves with different feeding systems concluded that group housing increases the risk of infection, especially in larger groups and thus requires more skills and poses more challenges to management .
In summary, there are a high number of experimental studies and surveys dealing in various ways with aspects of individual and group housing, as well as outdoor and indoor rearing, with sometimes contradicting results. Overall, outdoor individual hutches appear superior to indoor housing, and individual housing/small group housing appears superior to large group housing with regards to calf health.
Inadequate ventilation of calf barns increases the risk of disease due to a build up of high levels of humidity, noxious gases, dust and bacterial content . Ammonia levels of less than 10 ppm are recommended , however, concentrations of 5 ppm already lead to adverse effects on the respiratory system in piglets . Ammonia concentrations are enhanced by the accumulation of urine and faeces, which emphasises the need for regular cleaning and provision of dry bedding, together with adequate ventilation.
To prevent adverse conditions, at least 4 air changes per hour are needed in winter and up to 40 in summer . Natural ventilation is achieved through wind and buoyancy in monopitch or duopitch houses, given that adequate air outlets (ridge opening: 5 cm width for every 3 m width of the building) and inlets (eave openings: at least half the space of ridge openings) , as well as sufficient difference in height between the openings is provided (not less than 1.5 m, but preferably 2.5 m) . Recommended air space per calf is not less than 6 m3 up to 6 weeks and 10 m3 up to 12 weeks of age .
Problems can arise in naturally ventilated calf barns in cold and damp wintry conditions, when it can be impossible to keep relative humidity below an acceptable level of 85% . Additionally, ventilation is often compromised by closing of air inlets in an attempt to prevent cold stress for the calves. If calves are housed in individual pens indoors, the barn climate often does not reflect the microclimate in the pens. Ventilation is impaired with an increasing numbers of solid panels surrounding the calf (solid walls in the back or front of the pen, top covers), leading to an increase in airborne microbes .
In suckler herds, calves generally remain with cows at pasture until they are weaned, usually between 5 and 9 months of age. In addition to removal from the cow, the weaning procedure may be compounded by other stressors occurring around the same time, e.g. change of diet (grass and milk to conserved feed with or without concentrates), change of environment (outdoors to indoors). Non-integrated systems often combine weaning with additional stressors such as transportation and marketing, prior to entry into feedlots . Alterations in calf behaviour [33, 34], hormonal mediators of stress [35, 36] and consequently impaired immune function [37–41] are evident post-weaning. Furthermore, weaning is considered to be a predisposing factor to pneumonia in recently weaned suckler calves [42–44] and reducing the cumulative effects of multiple stressors around the time of weaning results in a less marked stress response. This strategy, combined with vaccination programmes and feeding concentrates pre-weaning (preconditioning), reduces subsequent morbidity and mortality in the feedlot  and provided the rationale for the 'Animal welfare, recording and breeding scheme for suckler herds' (Suckler Welfare Scheme) in Ireland .
Delaying housing of calves post-weaning reduces the magnitude of the stress response . Also, calves supplemented with concentrate prior to weaning had a lesser reduction in some immune cells (i.e. γδ T lymphocytes), started consuming meal faster when housed indoors and spent more time lying down (rather than standing and walking) post-weaning compared with non-supplemented calves. Concentrate supplementation of suckler calves is often advocated as a means of reducing weaning stress in calves through familiarisation to a palatable feed  and has been reported to decrease morbidity in feedlots . Management practices aiming at reducing stress at weaning include the use of anti-suckling devices (nose-clips) for a period prior to weaning [34, 49, 50], fence-line contact between calf and dam post-weaning [33, 49, 51, 52] and a combination of both practices before complete separation . The benefit of two-stage weaning with nose-clips and fence-line weaning on calf welfare has been questioned in a recent study, with no overall reduction of distress behaviours in weaned calves, but rather redistribution of these behaviours on the days post-attachment of nose-clip and on the days post-weaning .
There are aspects of cattle production such as castration, disbudding and dehorning which cause pain and stress for the animal. Dehorning or disbudding of horned cattle is a mandatory requirement in many countries to reduce the risk of injuries to humans or other animals [55, 56]. Cortisol and behavioural response to disbudding is significantly smaller than to amputation dehorning, implying that the latter is more painful . Castration of male cattle is a routine procedure used in some husbandry systems to facilitate handling and modify carcass quality. It elicits physiological stress by increasing plasma cortisol concentrations, inflammatory reactions, pain associated behaviour, suppression of immune function and a reduction in performance [58–62]. Burdizzo castration causes a lower cortisol response than either surgical or rubber ring castration . Physiological stress as measured by cortisol levels and inflammatory reactions (acute-phase proteins, scrotal swelling and surface skin temperature) are lower in 1.5 month old calves compared to older calves after Burdizzo castration .
Pharmacological methods (local anaesthesia, systemic analgesia using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, xylazine sedation) are available that are highly beneficial in alleviating the acute pain caused by castration, dehorning or disbudding [57, 63]. National legislation regarding animal welfare and regulations concerning the usage of these drugs by veterinarians or producers vary between countries and have to be taken into account.
Pneumonia in pre-weaned calves is a multi-factorial disease involving a well known group of viruses (bovine herpesvirus 1, BoHV1; bovine respiratory syncytial virus, BRSV; parainfluenza 3 virus, PI3) and bacteria (Mycoplasma bovis, Pasteurella multocida, Mannheimia haemolytica, Histophilus somni), as well as calf-related and environmental risk factors. Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) appears to play an important role, both in terms of immunosuppression and synergistic effects with other pathogens and also as a primary pneumopathogen . Accumulating evidence has been found in recent years that bovine coronavirus plays a role in bovine respiratory disease .
Many aspects of respiratory disease in cattle have recently been reviewed , including issues specific to beef  and dairy  calves.
A number of factors are known to modify the risk of pneumonia in calf populations. Prior to weaning, single-suckled beef calves outdoors are at the lowest risk of pneumonia . Outbreaks can occur due to sudden inclement weather . However, if suckler calves are born and reared indoors, the incidence of pneumonia can be considerable . In the period following weaning, pneumonia has a high prevalence in weaned beef calves. A large national survey of the US beef industry found that 14.4% of cattle placed in US feedlots acquire the disease . The population wide-characteristics of weaned cattle of high respiratory disease risk include animals being of light weight, cattle from multiple origins, previous history of disease and cattle experiencing long journeys before arriving at a feedlot .
According to recent US data, respiratory disease is responsible for nearly a quarter of pre-weaned calf deaths and nearly half of weaned calf deaths in dairy replacement heifers . Dairy calf rearing management and facilities vary widely between farms. Therefore, each of the previously mentioned risk factors at calf and environment level has to be considered when faced with an outbreak of calf pneumonia. Additional factors identified to increase pneumonia risk in housed calves include shared airspace with older animals, overcrowding, and power-washing of calf facilities while calves are still present .
Cases of calf pneumonia may not be detected by the animal keeper, but are more likely to be missed than misdiagnosed, as Sivula et al. have shown that keeper diagnosis is only 56% sensitive but 100% specific .
Early signs of calf pneumonia include elevated respiratory rate, fever, serous nasal discharge and at the most mild depression or inappetence . Since early treatment is the most important factor that prevents treatment failure, recognition at this stage would be preferable. The feasibility of daily measurement of the body temperature in high-risk periods is highly dependent on the housing system and handling facilities. When treatment is based on rectal temperature, thresholds of 40-40.3°C for feedlot cattle and 39.7°C for calves have been suggested . If measurement of the body temperature is not practical, early recognition and the success of treatment relies on good observational skills of the animal keeper. Evaluating calves for treatment using a screening system, such as the calf respiratory scoring chart developed at the University of Wisconsin, which is based on rectal temperature, character of nasal discharge, eye or ear appearance and presence of coughing, has been recommended for dairy calves [68, 76]. Apley  suggests that treatment should be instituted on recognition of depression with undifferentiated fever, with depression being the more important of these two parameters.
The value of diagnostic tests in calf pneumonia is somewhat limited due to the multifactorial nature of the disease and the uncertainty if the pathogens recovered from samples are causative to the disease . Most outbreaks can be successfully managed using the principles for treatment described above, and diagnostic tests cannot replace the examination of management practices and facility design in cases of recurrent outbreaks .
If animals are selected for ante-mortem sampling they should be in the early stages of the pneumonic process, before treatment, and should show typical signs of the process affecting the group . Nasal swabs should only be used to identify upper respiratory tract viruses . Deep nasopharyngeal swabs, positive for M. haemolytica and M. bovis, have been demonstrated to be representative of isolates present in the lungs . Samples obtained from transtracheal wash and/or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) can be used for virology, bacteriology, cytology and parasitology . However, the presence of bacterial isolates in nasopharyngeal swabs or tracheal and/or bronchoalveolar lavage needs to be interpreted with caution, in light of recent studies in which 63% of healthy calves were culture positive for bovine bacterial pathogens from BAL fluid . In one study, a high level of pathogens was found in the lungs of calves on arrival at feedlots . However, in another, the lungs were virtually sterile at the time of slaughter . Bacteria may be more likely to frequent the lung during high stress periods due to impairment of the mucociliary escalator mechanism .
Postmortem examination of untreated animals in the early stages of calf pneumonia can be useful, whereas repeatedly treated animals with chronic pneumonia are usually of little diagnostic value . Faeces should be examined for lungworm larvae, even though false negatives may occur if the animals are sampled before adult lungworm become patent .
Antibiotic treatment of bacterial pneumonia must be sufficient in duration and, most crucially, early enough to prevent lesions forming that may resist both therapy and regeneration of normal lung parenchyma . The emphasis should be on early treatment and first treatment success in cases of calf pneumonia since the outcome for those animals that fail to respond successfully to first treatment is poor. Typically, one third to two thirds of animals that do not respond to initial therapy are permanently affected or lost .
The effectiveness of metaphylaxis (defined as mass medication of all animals on arrival in the feedlot) in reducing morbidity rates associated with pneumonia in feedlots is variable . A recent meta-analysis of North American studies estimated a decrease in mortality and morbidity of 2% and 26%, respectively for animals that received antimicrobial treatment on arrival in the feedlot. The average daily weight gain was 0.11 kg higher in these animals in comparison with calves not receiving metaphylactic treatment .
The use of antimicrobials for prevention (prophylaxis or metaphylaxis) of calf pneumonia has to be seen in the context of increasing pressure on the veterinary profession to promote prudent use of antibiotics, noting that indiscriminate use of antibiotics promotes the selection and subsequent proliferation of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria . The European Parliament recently called for a review of current practices of prophylactic use of antimicrobials .
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have shown to reduce pyrexia [88–91], clinical signs [89, 90], and lung pathology [90–92], and improve average daily weight gains  in calves with respiratory disease compared to untreated calves or calves only treated with antimicrobials. Other studies, however, have not found significant differences between treatment groups [93, 94]. The cost-efficiency of additional anti-inflammatory therapy in bovine respiratory disease is uncertain .
It has been suggested that pneumonic animals should be isolated in appropriate facilities . However, there is little experimental evidence to quantify the benefits and it may lead to practical difficulties.
The efficacy and economical viability of vaccination against respiratory disease in calves remains uncertain. Although substantial relevant literature is available, a consensus, underpinned by robust scientific findings, has not yet been achieved. The evaluation of vaccine efficacy, and the interpretation of trial results, is complicated by the nature of bovine respiratory disease, and in particular the multitude of pathogens and environmental stressors that contribute to disease development. Additionally, the disease pattern of pneumonia in calves can vary under a variety of husbandry systems, as a consequence of differing challenges at different points in the rearing period.
Modified live vaccines, inactivated vaccines, or subunit vaccines are available for most of the major pathogens. For the most part, relevant research has focused on the ability of these vaccines to trigger an immune response or to decrease clinical disease and pathogen shedding in challenge trials. Although field trials are needed to provide conclusive evidence of vaccine efficacy under field conditions , few of these have been reported. In a very recent paper, where a field trial was conducted, Windeyer  could find no beneficial effect of vaccination with a multivalent respiratory vaccine in a large population of young dairy calves with a low incidence of failure of passive transfer.
Substantial data are available on pneumonia in feedlot cattle, predominantly from the USA. These data provide useful insights, albeit for different husbandry systems, of the impact of multiple stressors on recently weaned suckler calves. The feedlot studies clearly indicate that vaccination provides best results when carried out in healthy animals and prior to the exposure to defined stressful events, such as weaning, marketing, transportation and associated changes in environment. Vaccination together with further management measures (preconditioning) in suckler calves before weaning has been shown to be beneficial on the performance of these animals after arrival in feedlots. However, in these studies the benefit of vaccination and management procedures cannot be assessed independently . Perino and Hunsaker  conducted a review of field trials to assess the efficacy of mono- or multivalent vaccination against bovine respiratory disease without preconditioning. Using outcomes of morbidity and mortality in feedlot cattle, these authors identified 9 studies with positive and 13 studies with neutral or negative outcomes.
Early studies with formalin-inactivated experimental Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus vaccines demonstrated enhancement in disease severity after subsequent infection . Meanwhile the safety and efficacy of modified live and inactivated BRSV vaccines have been demonstrated in experimental challenge trials, whereby reduced clinical disease and lung lesions have been found in most [98–100] but not all  trials. Monovalent BRSV vaccines have rarely been tested in field trials. Van Donkersgoed et al  tested a modified live BRSV vaccine in eight different scenarios in calves and yearlings and found only significant reduction of cases of bovine respiratory disease in 2 groups. However, all animals were comingled throughout the trials, which suggests that the development of herd immunity could have affected the apparent efficacy of the vaccine.
Young calves do not produce specific antibodies after vaccination in the presence of maternally derived immunity. For this reason, it is commonly believed that maternal antibodies can interfere with the efficacy of vaccination . To overcome this issue, research in recent years has focused on the use of the mucosal immune system for vaccination. Intranasal vaccination against BRSV proved effective in challenge studies in calves without maternal antibodies [104–107]. In calves with maternal antibodies against BRSV, protective effect of intranasal vaccination compared to an unvaccinated control group was confirmed in two studies [106, 108]. However, Ellis et al.  could not prevent clinical disease and lung lesions in calves with or without maternal antibodies that were challenged 4.5 months after intranasal vaccination with a modified-live virus vaccine.
Depending on virus virulence and host resistance, Bovine Herpes Virus 1 infection can cause clinical pictures from severe classical Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR) to no clinical signs at all. Regardless, infection will lead to latency in the host. In relation to calf pneumonia, it is important to consider the immunosuppressive effect of BoHV1 infection as well as BoHV1 reactivation . Conventional BoHV-1 vaccines containing modified live virus are very effective, inducing both humoral and cellular immune responses. However, they can establish latency and can be reactivated with adverse effects on pregnant cows or young calves in contact with the vaccinated animals. Inactivated vaccines, on the other hand, are safe but less efficacious as they only stimulate humoral immunity . Gene-deleted (gE-) modified live virus and inactivated marker vaccines, to distinguish vaccination from field virus infection, have been developed and are commercially available . Vaccination of newborn calves, especially in the presence of maternal antibodies, poses the same challenges as described for BRSV vaccination and is in the focus of current research . Intranasal vaccination of seronegative newborn calves decreases clinical signs in a challenge trial . However, the situation is complicated by the potential for establishment of seronegative latent carriers in calves with specific maternal antibodies through field virus infection as well as through vaccination with modified-live vaccines [112, 113]. In Europe, the use of conventional vaccines is prohibited in some countries. Further, in countries with existing eradication programmes, regulations regarding vaccination need to be considered .
Vaccines against the major bacterial pathogens involved in bovine respiratory disease (Pasteurella multocida , Mannheimia haemolytica , Histophilus somni) can decrease clinical signs in challenge models but are rarely tested in monovalent form in field trials . Aubry et al.  were unable to identify any decrease in treatments for respiratory disease in young dairy calves vaccinated with a modified-live Mannheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida vaccine.
Pneumonia is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in calves, both during the pre-weaning period and shortly following weaning. A range of events are linked with increased disease risk, including weaning management, painful procedures, housing systems and ventilation and effective preventive measures have been demonstrated. The management of pneumonia in calves is reliant on a sound understanding of aetiology and of relevant risk factors and of effective approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

I was born and raised in Krakow, Poland in a Vietnamese household, which is just another way of me saying that I haven't quite found a specific focus in my career yet, but that is okay. Step by step, I'll get there.
Children's Book - "Bloom"
The bittersweet captivates me. There can be a weakness in happiness and glory, and there can be grace and beauty found in sadness or heartbreak. My aim is to explore those moments and to tell those stories, because I think it's important to show the world not just in black and white, but also different shades of gray. Which is also why I enjoy graphite so much, it easily allows for certain subtleties to be expressed.
Comfortable: A Series
I admire art that moves me almost literally to places that I'd like to explore. But when it comes to artists, my attitude is more cautious.
As much as I admire an artist's work, I choose to admire the people I know and trust. People I admire not just for the virtues they have, but also their flaws. They are software engineers, architects, filmmakers, salespeople—like my mom and grandma, whose hard work is always a great inspiration to me. I am ever so grateful to have their insight and company, as it further deepens my understanding of the world.

I admire artists like Ash Thorp because of how he approaches projects and the way he deconstructs and plans them out. It made a huge impact on me and now I work more organized with the projects I take on to fully understand them.

My Classic Movie Pick: Wagon Master

I like Westerns. I like the horses and the cowboys and the sheriffs who have to deal with the baddies and get them out of town. I love seeing the landscapes in the outdoor scenes: those wide-open spaces and the outcroppings of distant mountains. Whether the western was filmed in black and white or in technicolor, it doesn't matter much to me, I pretty much like most of this genre. I am pretty well aware that the late director John Ford was often tagged with the title of best westerns director and a couple weeks ago, TCM aired a western directed by him that I had never heard of. Ford made a tight little film in 1950 with no big name stars assigned to it. Wagon Master was the title bestowed on this film and even more curious is that the main plot was about a group of Mormons trying to get to a certain river valley in which to establish their new community.
Made by Argosy Pictures( a studio created by John Ford and producer Merian C. Cooper, the man responsible for 1933's King Kong) and released by RKO, Wagon Master employed a lot of the actors and actresses that were known as "John Ford's Stock Company", meaning that these people were in a lot of Ford's movies. Usually John Wayne or Henry Fonda were the lead male actors in Ford's films but not in Wagon Master. The two main male leads were Ben Johnson playing Travis and Harry Carey Jr. playing Sandy.
The movie opens with a wanted ad for the Clegg's : a murdering Uncle and his 4 murdering nephews. This want ad is superimposed over a scene that dissolves into the Clegg brutes(James Arness, Charles Kemper, Hank Worden,Fred Libby, and Mickey Simpson) holding up a store and its employees. As the gang leaves with the money, one of the clerks rushes behind the counter, grabs a gun, and shoots at the gang, wounding Uncle Shiloh Clegg(Kemper) in the shoulder. The gang re-enters the store and Uncle Shiloh cracks his whip, telling the store clerk that he shouldn't have done that. He aims his gun and as the store clerk pleads for his life, the camera turns away as gun shots ring out. The next scene we see is the film's opening credits rolling, with conestaga wagons traveling west, through a river, with a song by The Sons of the Pioneers ringing out. There is a lot of music in this movie, even for a western, and The Sons of the Pioneers recorded the songs; Richard Hageman created the score and Stan Jones was the composer who wrote the lyrics and music for 4 of the songs in the movie. A Mormon hymn is even sung at the end of the movie.
Next, the movie introduces the two male leads, Travis and Sandy. They are young, ambitious, and are in the horse selling and trading business. They've just arrived in a town to ply their trade and sell the sheriff a horse that will try and throw the rider if certain kind of whistling sound is whistled. Of course, they don't tell the sheriff this until after the sale is completed and Sandy whistles! Soon, the two young men are approached by two Mormon men, Elders Wiggs and Perkins(Ward Bond and Russell Simpson.) The Elders ask if the two young men know the area of the country their group will be traveling to the next day. Travis replies to Elder Wiggs that they do know the area and a good way to get there. Elder Wiggs asks them to consider being the Wagon Master for their group's trip. Travis thinks about it and turns the offer down. Sandy thinks they ought to reconsider as he is immediately smitten with Elder Perkin's daughter, Prudence(Kathleen O'Malley) who had accompanied her father and Elder Wiggs on their trip into town. After a day in the town, and watching the Mormon travelers leave town and start heading in the wrong direction, Travis has a change of heart and he and Sandy ride to catch up with Elder Wiggs to let him know that they'll gladly lead the group to their destination, the San Juan River Valley in Utah.
Director Ford loved location shooting and much of the film was shot near Moab, Utah. The scenery is gorgeous in the film, and a lot of credit should be given to Bert Glennon, the Director of Photography. One scene that impressed me was when Travis accidentally rides near a group of Navajoes who give chase, and he and his horse have the ride of their lives in trying to get back to the wagon train ahead of the angry Navajoes. Ben Johnson had been a ranch hand and a rodeo rider before getting into acting and knew how to handle a horse so it's really him in that incredible chase sequence.
As Sandy plants his horse near Prudence's wagon, Travis actually leads the group and soon they hear music playing in the distance with no town or house nearby. The travelers soon find the wagon of a traveling medicine show and the troupe of 4 thirsty entertainers. They ran out of water on their attempt to get to California. With only the elixir to drink that they sell, they aren't too sober. One of the entertainers, a Miss Denver(Joanne Dru) is quite pretty and Travis is smitten with her immediately. She faints off of the back of the wagon's backboard and lucky for her and him, he manages to catch her. Seeing the troupe's dire plight, and having to convince Elder Perkins, Elder Wiggs announces that this troupe can travel with them until the trail for California emerges and they'll share water and food with them. This gives Travis a chance to size up Miss Denver, to "court" her and there is a sweet scene as the troupe breaks away to go out on the California trail and he follows them, catches up with Miss Denver, and explains that he has his eye on some land in Texas for a cattle ranch and he's going to need someone to help him on the ranch with the cooking and cleaning and to help him fight against loneliness. It's a bittersweet scene because we can tell he is sincere, and Miss Denver knows that going on to California and staying with the medicine show isn't any form of a good life to live. She is touched and honored by Travis's proposal of sorts, but then turns him down!
Of course, the baddies show up, The Clegg Gang, and they try to hide who they really are but Travis and Sandy recognize them from wanted posters. They keep their guns close just in case as Elder Wiggs agrees to let these travelers join up with their group. Uncle Shiloh Clegg and his nephews know there is a posse out looking for them and what better place to hide than with a bunch of Mormons? Dr. Hall(Alan Mowbray) from the medicine show is forced to help Shiloh's shoulder wound and three of the nephews begin eyeing the ladies of the wagon train. This of course puts Sandy and Travis on the alert.
There is the aforementioned run in with the Navajoes, of which legendary athlete Jim Thorpe plays a role, a Clegg gets punished for trying to get too close to a Navajo woman, and then there is a dangerous crossing for the wagons and the ultimate showdown with the Clegg's.
A brisk western that ties things up nicely, I found Wagon Master an enjoyable gem from director John Ford. Wagon Master, should also be noted, as the inspiration for the television show Wagon Train. You can buy Wagon Master via Amazon.com for a very low price, at TCM's shop in a special dvd with 3 other John Ford directed westerns, and it is available on a long list of Ford films on Netflix. A kind soul put the entire movie on Youtube and you can watch it via that form. I'll close out my blog with some scenes from Wagon Master.

The Elderly Gent
Posted by jennifromrollamo in Social Commentary.	Leave a comment
I was at Rolla Federal Credit Union last week to do a bit of banking. As I walked into the lobby and got into line to wait for the teller, I noticed an elderly gentleman with white hair peeking out from under his cowboy hat. The elderly gent was sitting in a chair perched outside of an office doorway and I noticed that the man was not heavy, he had on glasses with dark rims, and he carried a cane. Shortly after I had gotten into line, a family came into the credit union: a husband and his wife and their son, who looked to be about 12 years of age. Immediately the elderly gent rose and greeted them as they came into the lobby.
I thought to myself, "Oh, he knows them." Lots of folks in Rolla know one another, such is the way in a smaller community, and I settled back to accidentally overhear their conversation due to the elderly gent talking loudly. He launched into a loud, fast soliloquy. The husband who had greeted him with a hello and had politely shook his hand managed to get a few comments and questions in, but I got the impression it was very important for the elderly gentl to say his piece and get it uttered for all to hear. He related how he was originally from Texas,that he had been a country music singer and songwriter-then he gave his name, and of course, none of us had ever heard of him. He said he sounded a lot like Tex Ritter when he sang. I did know who Tex Ritter was and so did the husband;pretty sure his 12 year old son didn't. Then the elderly gent gave his salvation story, and then launched into a song he had written about Jesus.
I had to give the elderly gent credit-for looking to be in his late 70s or early 80s, he did have a strong singing voice. No tremulous quaverings in his tone at all. The husband, wife and 12 year old son politely stood at attention as the elderly gent serenaded them. I grinned at the tellers who were trying not to giggle and not one of the credit union employees told him to stop singing or to go away. By then it was my turn at the teller's window and when I was done, the elderly gent had sat back down in the chair and was continuing to talk about his country music writing career and his faith in Jesus to the family of 3 whom he had greeted when they had walked in.
Fast forward to last Friday afternoon, at Aldi, and as I was placing my purchases on the conveyer belt, I heard a familiar voice strongly singing a song he had written about Jesus. Yes! The elderly gent was serenading the Aldi shoppers as they were bagging their groceries! This time his audience was also fellow senior citizens and they nicely applauded him when he was done. Most of the cashiers were politely smiling but one did challenge the elderly gent a bit and asked him if he knew any songs by Willie Nelson. To his credit, he ignored the question and kept on singing and talking about his faith in Jesus.
I came away with several thoughts from my 2 encounters with this elderly gent. He was not ashamed of his Lord, Jesus Christ. He was .proud of his singing voice and past career. He appeared to be in good health. He was cheerful and wanting to talk to the public in places where most people just focus on what they need to get done and want to be on their way. How many times do I just focus on me, myself, and I when I am out and about shopping or running errands and don't take time to aknowledge the people about me with a smile or a kind word?
Despite the giggles from the bank teller and the grocery employees, the elderly gent was not afraid of scorn or ridicule or rejection as he boldly praised his Lord and sang in these public establishments. While I don't plan on launching into song on my next forrays into the public places of Rolla, MO, I do want to take with me a spirit of friendliness and kindness towards my fellow citizens as we are out and about, shopping and running our errands. Thanks for that lesson, Elderly Gent.
My Classic Movie Pick: The Spiral Staircase
Posted by jennifromrollamo in Movies.	Tagged: Dore Schary, Dorothy McGuire, Elsa Lanchester, Ethel Barrymore, Ethel Lina White, George Brent, Gordon Oliver, James Bell, Kent Smith, Mel Dinelli, Nicholas Musuraca, Rhonda Fleming, Rhys Williams, RKO, Robert Siodmak, Sara Allgood.	2 comments
I enjoy suspense movies and not the slash and gore films that seem so popular with the younger generations. I like a suspense film that doesn't show all of the violence or the evildoer immediately, but simply hints at the fact that something bad is going to happen or is happening. Of course, the suspense films I like also have a good triumphs over evil ending and the main character, who has been in danger, will now be safe.
The Spiral Staircase is my kind of suspense film. In the beginning of the film, the audience is swept into a local hotel that also shows silent films. It is in this audience that we meet heroine Helen(Dorothy McGuire) who is thoroughly caught up in the plot of the silent movie that she is watching. ( The silent film shown is D.W. Griffith's The Sands of the Dee.) As the movie plays for the audience, we are taken upstairs where a young woman is looking out her window. She then walks to her closet and we notice that she has a noticable limp. She takes a dress out of her closet and what we see, but she doesn't see, is that a man is hiding in her closet! The camera zooms in on just his eye and we see his pov, watching the young woman dress. With her arms over her head and the dress about her, the camera again zooms in on her hands as they clutch the air and show signs that the young woman has been grabbed. We hear her groans, and then the scene cuts to the hotel's movie audience. They are happily getting their coats and hats and preparing to leave when above their heads they hear a loud thud and the sound of breaking glass. The hotel owner rushes upstairs and with the help of another hotel guest(character actress Ellen Corby, aka Grandma Walton from the 1970s tv show, The Walton's) he goes to the young woman's room and finds her strangled to death.
Helen enjoying the silent movie.
The killer hiding in the closet!
Victim #3, the poor crippled woman.
Something evil has recently begun in this quiet, small New England town near Boston. We learn that two young women have been murdered for no apparent reason other than the fact that they both had a physical defect. One of the victims had a facial scar and the other was described as "simple-minded". Now we see that the third victim was crippled in her leg. Soon we learn that Helen, a maid at wealthy Mrs. Warren's (Ethel Barrymore) home, is a mute. That can only mean one thing, Helen's life is in danger!
We don't know a lot about Helen's previous life. We do know that she used to be able to speak but when coming home from school one day as a youngster, she discovered that her home was on fire and her parents died in the fire, the local firefighters unable to save them. This horrific event has caused Helen to not be able to speak. Who she stayed with until she reached adulthood we don't know and we also don't know how she came to be in Mrs. Warren's employ. We do learn that she is in love with kind Dr. Parry(Kent Smith), the young, handsome, new doctor in town and he also loves Helen. He wants her to go to Boston and be evaluated by a team of doctors who, he believes, will be able to help Helen get her voice back. There is a scene in the film where Helen daydreams about dancing with Dr. Parry and then she is at the altar to marry him and it breaks her heart that she can't utter the words, "I do" during the wedding ceremony, with all eyes upon her.
Dr. Parry telling Helen about the doctors in Boston who could help her.
Helen, frustrated that she can't utter the words, "I do."
Since we, the audience, know the killer is a man, the movie's script cleverly introduces 4 male characters who could possibly be the killer. There is Professor Albert Warren(George Brent), his younger brother Steve(Gordon Oliver), Mr. Oates(Rhys Williams), and even Dr. Parry.
Professor Warren seems very preoccupied, dislikes his younger brother, Steve, immensely, and keeps intruding whenever his brother is trying to grab and kiss the Professor's secretary, the very beautiful Blanche(Rhonda Fleming.) Turns out Blanche and the Professor also had a past relationship so it really sticks in his craw to see his former girlfriend in the arms of his younger brother!
The constable asking the Warren brothers where they were when the 3rd murder happened.
Steven and Blanche
Mr. Oates, the caretaker of the Warren mansion and grounds, is seen entering the house in a dark raincoat and hat, which we saw the killer wearing earlier when he was stalking Helen on her way home to the mansion from the hotel.
The killer, following Helen to the mansion.
Mr. Oates answering the constable's questions.
Steven seems to be a lazy, layabout, with no job. He's just returned from a tour of Europe with nothing but time on his hands when he decides to embark on getting closer to Blanche. Later in the film, he cruelly scoffs at Dr. Parry's suggestion that doctors in Boston could help Helen speak. Why does the thought of a person with a disability getting help make him so angry?
How the killer sees Helen and her lack of a voice.
Even Dr. Parry, so kind to Helen, is he really who he seems to be or could he be hiding an evil side, ala Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
The women in the film are also just as interesting as the men. Mrs. Warren, cold to her two stepsons, reveals that their father thought them both weaklings and wastrels. She is insistent to Helen that she must get out of the house that night, that something bad will happen to Helen if she doesn't get away. She is also a concealed carry believer!(This performance earned Barrymore a nomination for Best Supporting Actress.) Mrs. Oates(Elsa Lanchester) is the cook with a penchant for sneaking a drink. Her husband's scoldings about her habit she ignores and unfortunately, that "little nip" while washing up the supper dishes will prove to be unhelpful to Helen later that night! Then there is Blanche, the dutiful secretary, drawn to bad boy Steven, and a search in the basement for her suitcase will prove to be a deadly decision on her part! Of course, hats are off to Dorothy McGuire's portrayal of Helen. She has to emote and convey so much with no words being uttered. A truly remarkable performance.
Mrs. Warren has a gun and she knows how to use it!
Blanche knows who the killer is!
Professor Warren reminding Helen to stay indoors and to go to him if she needs any help.
Mrs. Warren urging Helen to get out of the house!
Mrs. Oates waiting to sneak a bottle of brandy.
The Spiral Staircase does an excellent job of showing the twists and turns of very complicated people and it leaves one guessing as to who the killer is until the last 10 minutes or so of the movie. I also enjoyed the photography shot by Nicholas Musuraca. Lots of lights and darks, shadows where a killer could be lurking in the old mansion, and a large mirror on the first landing of the grand staircase is used for quite a few interesting shots and views. If I ever had a basement, it wouldn't be as dark and dank and creepy as the one in this movie, I can tell you!!
One can find The Spiral Staircase at Amazon.com, but I warn you, it's really pricey. I was shocked at how high it's price is! It's not available at TCM's shop, only a remake which was done in 1975 starring Christopher Plummer, Jacqueline Bisset, and Sam Wannamaker. It is available on Youtube, however, in its entirety. A Spanish or Portugese(sorry, I cannot tell the difference between the two languages) fan of the film put it on Youtube, with subtitles for the Spanish or Portugese viewers.
The Spiral Staircase was made in 1946 by RKO Studios, produced by Dory Schary and directed by Robert Siodmak. The screenplay was written by Mel Dinelli, adapted from the novel Some Must Watch by Ethel Lina White. I also discovered that the killer's eye seen in the woman's closet at the film's beginning belonged to the director, Siodmak!
For a wonderful suspense film that I think younger filmmakers could learn a lesson or two from, seek out The Spiral Staircase!
It's Going to be Okay
Today I have a guest blogger: Titus Benton. Titus grew up around the Rolla area in neaby Salem, MO and graduated from Salem High School. He then enrolled at St. Louis Christian College, graduated, and has been serving in Ministry for these past 15 years. He was one of two youth ministers at First Christian Church, our church when we lived in Florissant and Titus was our oldest's small group bible study leader. Titus did his best in reassuring the teens in our family that moving to Rolla wouldn't be such a bad thing, that Rolla was a nice town, full of nice people, and he even knew of a church for us to visit, Greentree Christian. Titus is now serving as a youth minister with Current Christian Church in Katy, TX.
About a year ago, he and his wife decided to downsize, to sell their newer, larger home for a smaller one in order to free up money in their budget and be able to give more funds to missions and missionary efforts that are happening around the world; missionary efforts that focus on the list from Matthew 25: 35-36: "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me." I was honored when he asked to be a guest blogger on my blog in order to help get the word out about The 25 Group, the not for profit missions supporting effort that he and his wife have begun in this new year. If you are interested, you can follow this link to learn more about The 25 Group. Now, on to Titus's guest post!
Your list is probably different. Mine goes like this:
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, 1998…maybe 1997. Funny how you forget what year it was but never lose the sight of the family's face when your group handed over the keys to their new house. Previously they lived in a pallet/cardboard shack. Their bathroom was a hole in the ground with some curtains for privacy. It was the first time I ever saw extreme poverty. I layered stucco until "stucco" was an expletive in my vocabulary. It was hard work, but I didn't walk away from that construction site the same person. What I'd experienced was not okay.
Homes of the poor in Mexico City
Adelaide Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri, 1999. It was the first time I ever worked in the inner city. The kids were dirty. When gunfire rang out down the block, I cowered in fear while they kept playing. Old news to them. Their homes were larger than the kids in Mexico but their lives were no more hopeful. I pushed them on the swings and gave them piggy back rides until my muscles ached. Then I got in my car and drove back to the suburbs. What I'd experienced was not okay.
Inner City, Washington D.C., 2002. More piggy back rides. More dirty kids. VBS. DeWayne and DeJean. Government-funded housing. Welfare culture. Would the kids I was carrying on my back make it out alive? Would they land in jail like many of their fathers? Would they pedal dope or the Gospel? I got in a van and drove back to the midwest and didn't have answers to any of my questions. Still don't. Not okay.
Santiago, Dominican Republic, 2005. "The Hole" is not the name of a neighborhood I'd want to live in. Hundreds of families do–in the midst of garbage and sewage and animals that they compete with for food. "The Fly" was not a hole of garbage but a mountain of it–constantly smoldering. I thought of the Greek word used for "hell" in the New Testament. These people were living in hell. The daily dumped contents of nearby cities was their livelihood. I flew back to the states and bought a bacon cheeseburger at the Miami Airport. It mixed with the taste of smoke and dirt in my mouth and I couldn't finish it. I pondered the things I'd seen and on a Sunday morning after days of resistance I sat on my couch and I cried. It was a loud cry. I don't know if I was crying for the people I had met or for myself. My spoiled rotten self. Things were not okay.
Children in the Dominican Republic
Mexico City, Mexico, 2010. More poverty. More hopelessness. Kids dumped in garbage cans, rescued by missionaries and given a home. Plenty of kids not rescued–living on the streets begging for money. Human beings owned by other human beings, pimped out for profit. More dirt, more smoke, more stupid systems and obstacles and red tape and frustration. More not okay.
India, 2013. The one-legged boy tapping on our window, begging for change. The persecuted pastors being beaten for preaching. The girl found in a plastic bag on the side of the road. The children dancing and singing as a welcome to the white people. The stench of the train, the glassiness of the eyes, the stories of children being rescued from red light districts. I got on a jet and flew twenty-something hours back to America. I realized the hook that was constant in all my experiences was the same: Things Are Not Okay.
Children in India
Your list may be different in specifics, but the conclusion our lists lead us to is universally the same. There are things in this world that are not okay. There are people bought and sold as commodities. There are children starving to death. There are women widowed because their husbands dared to preach the Gospel. There are places where water is laced with sewage but the people drink it anyway because its wet and they have nothing else. There are cardboard shacks and diseases and glassy eyes and gunshots and hopelessness.
There are also a growing number of people who think that is not okay.
I am one of them, and I suspect you are too. After returning from India and my wife from the Dominican Republic my wife and I started a nonprofit organization that will buy food and drill wells and provide shelter and help sick people and welcome strangers and do all the other stuff Jesus says to do in Matthew 25. It's called The 25 Group.
Because what we do for the least of these we do for Him.
Because there's plenty in this world that is not okay.
Because Jesus doesn't think that stuff is okay, either. That's why He told us to take care of those people–with food and water and the truth about who He is.
Join us as we seek to leverage the wealth of the American church–the bacon cheeseburgers and the jets and the cars and the houses and the coffees and the mobile devices and the concert tickets and the designer labels and the whatevers–to fund global Kingdom work. There's a village in India with no school, church building, clean water well, or community gather spot. We're funding a space that will serve all those needs. There's a community in the Dominican Republic with an unfunded feeding center and there are in fact ten feeding centers in the country that are supplied vitamins year round–one meal a day, six days a week–by a ministry there. We're going to fund the feeding center and the vitamins for all. The total cost is a little over $53,000 for both projects. We plan to visit each location someday, money in hand, look them in the eyes and say:
"It's going to be okay."
And it will be.

In December, as I was reading blogs that I enjoy, I found out about an upcoming blogathon, The Classic Movie History Project Blogathon. The three ladies hosting it, their goal was for bloggers to focus on the history of films during the time frame from 1915 through 1950. I signed up for the year 1949 and decided to focus on one specific film, one film that dared to tackle a topic that Hollywood hadn't really looked at in much depth. Be sure to visit these awesome hostesses' blogs to read about the films that encompassed these specific years: Ruth at Silver Screenings, Aurora at Once Upon a Screen, and Fritzi at Movies Silently.
In 1949 America's economic prosperity was on the rise, television had started entering American households, and a book that had been written in 1946 that looked at racial issues in the South caught the eye of producer Darryl F. Zanuck at Twentieth Century Fox. The book was titled Quality and was written by Mississippi native Cid Ricketts Sumner. A screenplay was ordered which was written by Philip Dunne, Dudley Nichols, and with collaborations by actress Jane White, who's father, Walter White, was the Executive Secretary of the NAACP. The movie that evolved was Pinky.
The plot of Pinky is pretty straightforward. A young black girl,Pinky,(Jeanne Crain) who could pass for white due to the lightness of her skin, is raised by her black Grandmother Dicey(Ethel Waters), a laundress, in a sleepy, little Southern town. Dicey saves enough money to send Pinky north where she can attend a convent school. Pinky graduates and then enrolls in a 3 year nurse training school in Boston. She also meets a young doctor, Tom Adams(William Lundigan) and they fall in love. Tom wants to marry Pinky, who has gone by the name Patricia while living in the north. Pinky doesn't know what to do so she hops the next train and travels back to her hometown. Dicey is overjoyed to see Pinky again and assumes that she'll use her nursing training to help the poor in their community. She is disappointed when Pinky firmly tells her that she is only home for a visit and that she'll soon be going back to Boston. Pinky is at a crossroads. She knows she is disappointing Dicey and she knows she isn't being honest with Tom, as she hasn't revealed to him that she is really black. She also hasn't told Dicey about Tom. Back in her hometown, she isn't welcomed by the black community, who view her with distain for passing as white, despite the respect that they all have for her Grandmother. Pinky needs guidance as to who she really is, how she wants to live her life, and then more complications set in.
Dr. Tom Adams, who wants to marry Pinky, and doesn't know the truth about her background.
Pinky back home with Dicey
Dicey gave money that was to be sent to Pinky's school to local con artist Jake Waters(Frederick O'Neal) and he didn't send all of the money as he was supposed to do. Dicey has found out about this dishonesty and Pinky decides to confront Jake and get the money back. He does give Pinky what he can, $15 of his wife's money, and his wife, Rozelia(Nina Mae McKinney), comes home as Pinky is walking out with the money. There is an altercation between the two women in the street and the local police happen to be in the area. The two officers(one played by an uncredited Arthur Hunnicutt) treat Jake and Rozelia with disdain and disrespect and treat Pinky with utmost respect. When Rozelia tells them that Pinky is "colored", the officers immediately treat Pinky with disrespect and rudeness. After a meeting with Judge Walker(Basil Ruysdael), Jake and Rozelia promise to not to get into trouble anymore, and they are dismissed. Judge Walker keeps Pinky behind to inquire about her education, to tell her how much respect he has for her Grandmother, and to remind Pinky that she needs to be a credit to her Grandmother.
Being treated rudely by the local police and Rozelia laughing at her.
When Miss Em(Ethel Barrymore), the wealthiest woman in town, has a heart attack, Dicey talks with Dr. Joe(Griff Barnett) and learns that a nurse will be needed to sit with Miss Em until she has made a strong recovery. Dicey insists Pinky do this job as a payment of a debt since Miss Em cared for Dicey the last time that she was ill. Pinky dislikes Miss Em, who was rude to her when she was a child and has always treated her as an inferior person. Pinky finally agrees to do the job for Dicey's sake and also tells Dicey that as soon as the nursing job is over she'll be traveling back to Boston. Miss Em has a way with challenging Pinky's doubts about herself and through a Will, and the challenge of its legality by an odious relative of Miss Em's(Evelyn Varden), Pinky has to fight for her rights in a courtroom, learns more truths about Tom and herself, and at the end of the movie, makes her decision of what to do with her life that is true to herself and true to her own identity.

John Ford was the original director for Pinky, but he didn't get on with the cast, he didn't grasp the storyline as producer Zanuck envisioned it, and after watching the rushes and being disappointed with them, Zanuck fired Ford after one week on the job. Elia Kazan had made a name for himself by directing dramas on Broadway, and for directing a Best Picture Oscar for Gentlemen's Agreement and for winning Best Director for that film too, all of which helped Twentieth Century Fox's coffers. Zanuck hired Kazan to take over the directing for Pinky. Kazan has stated how he found a demoralized cast, unsure of their acting abilities after one week of working with John Ford. Kazan came in and decided to do many read throughs of the script, to get the cast more at ease with the story and with their acting abilities. Kazan wanted to travel to the South for the filming but was told no by Zanuck. With the talent of Joe MacDonald, Director of Photography and Atillio Gabani operating the camera , the movie really looks like it was filmed in a southern town and not a Hollywood backlot and soundstage.
Lena Horne and Dorothy Dandridge both wanted to play the lead role of Pinky, but due to Hollywood's censure board that stated there couldn't be any interracial kissing scenes, the part of Pinky went to actress Jeanne Crain. Ethel Waters was cast as Grandma Dicey, Ethel Barrymore was cast as Miss Em, and William Lundigan was cast as Dr. Tom. The film impacted critics and audiences alike. Crain was a nominee for Best Actress for the Academy Awards in 1950, and her co-stars, Waters and Barrymore, were both nominated for Best Supporting Actresses.
Why did I choose this movie for my pick? Up until 1949, racial issues in movies weren't explored. With the end of WWII, President Truman appointed advisors to evaluate desegregating the US military and from my readings on that topic and others about race in America, the late 1940s and early 1950s would prove to have watershed moments and issues that would ultimately lead to the end of Jim Crow laws and the theory that "Seperate but Equal" was a fine solution to racial issues in the US.
When I first saw Pinky, I was a college student and I stumbled upon it by accident one day, perusing the cable channels. The unusual topic matter, being made in the 1949, held my attention. What was this lady going to do? Marry the man who says he loves her? Turn her back on her Grandmother that raised her? Turn her back on her community who clearly could use her talents and skill set at training nurses in her town? Accept her fiance's idea of both of them moving to Denver and a new life where no one would have to know of her background? The movie posed a lot of questions that wouldn't show the answers until the final scene. I felt sorry for Pinky as I watched the movie, and grew irritated and angry as to how she was treated by some of the movie's characters. Pinky was a startling movie for 1949 and the majority of the critics praised it and audiences flocked to see it; it wasn't shunned at all in Southern cities and towns across the US as some at Twentieth Century Fox feared would happen.
To see Pinky, it has been put on dvd and is available at Amazon.com, it is available to purchase from Turner Classic Movies, and some kind soul has put the entire movie on Youtube! With a lilting, moving score by Alfred Newman, excellent directing by Elia Kazan, and an excellent cast, please seek out Pinky! A daring movie for 1949.

Q: TypeScript: Typing array / tuple with values or empty I'm trying to type a custom React hook:
import { useRef } from 'react';

type Reference = [
  Promise<unknown>,
  (value?: unknown) => void,
  (reason?: unknown) => void,
];

const usePromise = () => {
  const reference: Reference = [];
  const container = useRef(reference);

  reference[0] = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    reference[1] = resolve;
    reference[2] = reject;
  });

  // [promise, resolve, reject]
  return container.current;
};

export default usePromise;

TypeScript complains about reference saying:
Type '[]' is not assignable to type 'Reference'.
  Source has 0 element(s) but target requires 3.

How can I allow TypeScript to accept the empty array / tuple initialization, too? And also maybe there is a way to give usePromise the type of the value, too, so that it doesn't say unknown?

A: Edit 2:
If you want to initialize the tuple to an empty array, you can do this:
const reference : [Reference, Reference, Reference] = ([] as unknown) as [Reference, Reference, Reference];

Edit: edited as per OP's comment
You need to do something like this if you want to use a tuple:
Please read the inline comments below.
type Reference = {
    name:  string;
    age: number;
}

//In your case, it should be something like this beause your tuple may have upto 3 values of type Reference.

//initialization
//null! - the '!' mark after null is the non-null assertion operator, which will let you assign null value to a type Reference.
const reference2: [Reference, Reference, Reference] = [null!, null!, null!];
//assignment
reference2[0] = {name: 'John', age:10};

Original Answer:
That is because you have declared a const variable reference which is of type Reference (object instance of a class, type or interface called Reference) and but initializing it with an empty array [ ].
If you want reference to have an array of Reference objects, then you should do this instead:
const reference: Reference[] = [];

If you have strict type checking enabled in your tsconfig, you should do it like this:
const reference: Reference[] = [] as Reference[];

You can read about the as keyword here: Stack Overflow question about the 'as' keyword

A: The type Reference is a tuple with three entries. So when you assign to a variable of the type Reference, typescript checks if 1) the assigned value is a tuple 2) if the assigned tuple has the desired length 3) if all types of the entries in the tuple match the corresponding types in the Reference type.
You assign an empty list, which violates these conditions. If you don't have strict null checks enabled, you can simply assign const reference: Reference = [null, null, null];

A: Instead for forcing typescript to ignore your problem, I feel it's better to describe reference as what it really is:
let reference: Reference|null = null;

Or:
type Reference = [
  Promise<unknown> | null,
  ((value?: unknown) => void) | null,
  ((reason?: unknown) => void) | null,
];

Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first Serie A goal on Sunday, then went on to make it a brace as he led Juventus to a 2-1 win against Sassuolo, extending the Italian league leader`s winning streak.
Ronaldo had not scored in his first three Serie A games with Juventus, but on Sunday did not disappoint coach Massimiliano Allegri, who had said at a press conference on the eve of the clash that the former Real Madrid forward would score against Sassuolo, as per Efe news.
The Portuguese star made good on Allegri`s prediction when he scored five minutes into the second half after Juve had failed to translate their dominance in the first half onto the scoreboard.
Ronaldo collected the ricocheted ball and put it in an open goal, then doubled his tally 15 minutes later on a left-footed shot that got past goalkeeper Andrea Consigli.
He had a few golden opportunities to make it a hat-trick, but it was Sassuolo`s Senegalese forward Khouma Babacar who found the back of the net one minute into second-half stoppage time.
After the win, Juventus lead the Serie A table with 12 points, having a three-point advantage ahead of second-placed Napoli.

Q: Live streaming of images in django to frontend html I have a lot of images in my project media folder,which is saved by using a sdk camera(Alliedvision).I need to stream these images to html page one by one whenever the camera saves it in the media folder.Is it possible to stream images in django ?

A: When you save Image from ajax return all images url in list and onsuccess create dynamic html element i.e .
$.ajax({
        url: url,
        type: "POST",
        data: {
            image: image_data
        },
        success: function(response) {
          let images = response.images;
          $.each(images,function(index,url){
             $(".img-container").append("");
         });
        }
    })

in your views return images urls as - return JsonResponse({'images':[image.url for image in ImageModel.objects.all()]})

A: You can approach the problem with the following steps:

*

*Watch the media folder for new images using a library like watchdog https://pypi.org/project/watchdog/

*Invoke a django management command when there are new images and notify clients to update. Using django channels you can have the clients subscribe to a channel which can be notified by logic in the management command.

For channels implementation refer to the channels docs https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html

A: I would suggest you make a Ajax script that renders that gets the information for you. In your views you make a view that returns the url of the last image in the database and use ajax to simply make a get request to that view and if it is any different from what is already there it will change the source.
