Out of Frame
Vladimir Loginov's Anthill (Sipelgapesa, 2015)
Vol. 61 (January 2016) by Moritz Pfeifer
Vladimir Loginov's direct cinema documentary Anthill explores the inner life of a massive parking garage located amidst Communist housing blocks in Lasnamäe, an eastern district of Tallinn. The building lodges 700 small rooms and an odd mixture of chiefly male, senior owners who appear to use the space for pretty much everything apart from parking cars. One proprietor likes to listen to old Russian pop songs in a defunct 1970s Mercedes limousine, a bunch of weightlifters meet to drink vodka, a lonely man practices the violin, and the guards in the front exchange conspiracy theories about Soviet surveillance technology.
Loginov calmly films his subjects in a behind-closed-doors atmosphere, leaving little room for Soviet chic. In fact, the spectator hardly ever gets a view, and most definitely not an aestheticized one, of the enormous building, an immense brick and concrete carbuncle built in the 1980s. Its surroundings, Estonia's largest micro district that is home to over 100,000 people, also stay invisible. Instead, a look inside the garages reveals that they are strangely at odds with the brutal functionalism of the edifice.
Thus one garage owner carefully sets a cuckoo clock, while another discusses why he couldn't hang up a portrait of Putin on his wall (most inhabitants of Lasnamäe are Russian-speaking) – the picture didn't fit the frame. The coziness in some of the garages may seem ironic but displays a reality that fashionable photographs of Soviet concrete facades fail to capture. Human beings live here, surviving in a mixture of self-conscious nostalgia and inadvertent subsistence on the edge of society.
The fact that their possessions, obsession, and dreams are hidden away in garages is more than just a metaphor. It reveals the crude reality of people who are not only stigmatized because they are poor, but also because they represent a past everybody else is trying to forget. The force of Loginov's film is to give a voice to people whom society has literally pushed out of frame.
One of the best scenes in the film is a photo shoot of stylishly dressed youngsters who appear to have chosen the run-down setting for its edgy industrial chic. Their gaze reflects a peculiar kind of fascination for the building and its Communist heritage: one that celebrates the abstract look of Soviet concrete landscapes as a captivating background but prefers to ignore that such buildings are also homes. The abstract aesthetization of concrete landscapes in coffee-table books and fashion magazines is an act of appropriation. It wants to make the geometrical structures of social housing blocks resemble those of financial districts. But Lasnamäe is not Tornimäe, Talllin's financial district. And one wonders whether the people in Loginov's film even know that it exists.

Letter, to from Susan Buchan to [D. Redmond?]
Queen's University Archives
21 Oct. [1970] (Creation)
Tweedsmuir, Susan Charlotte Buchan
1970 (Receipt)
Redmond, D.
1 postcard : b&w photograph ; 8.9 x 13.9 cm
(20 Apr. 1882-21 Mar. 1977)
Susan Charlotte Buchan, Baroness Tweedsmuir (née Grosvenor; 20 April 1882 – 21 March 1977) was a British writer and the wife of author John Buchan. Between 1935 and 1940 she was viceregal consort of Canada while her husband was the governor general. She was also the author of several novels, children's books, and biographies, some of which were published under the name Susan Tweedsmuir.
Susan was a daughter of Norman de L'Aigle Grosvenor (son of the first Lord Ebury) and his wife Caroline Susan Theodora Stuart-Wortley (a granddaughter of the first Lord Wharncliffe), and a cousin of the Dukes of Westminster. She married John Buchan on 15 July 1907, and became the Baroness Tweedsmuir (known as Lady Tweedsmuir) when he was created Baron Tweedsmuir in 1935. The Buchans had four children, Alice, John, William, and Alastair, two of whom would spend most of their lives in Canada.
Her time as Vicereine of Canada is remembered for her energetic relief work. Her library project of gathering books in Eastern Canada for impoverished western communities and sending train carloads of them west was the foundation for many public libraries across the prairies.
Her interest in literary education influenced the establishment of the Governor General's Awards, for many years Canada's primary literary awards, and the library at Rideau Hall. Following her husband's death she returned to Britain, where she wrote several more novels, a series of memoirs, and a biography of her husband.
She died at Burford, near Oxford, in 1977 and was buried beside her husband in the churchyard at Elsfield.
Item is a handwritten letter on a postcard with a photograph of Susan Buchan's house. Recipient of postcard may have been Donald A. Redmond, who was a librarian at the Douglas Library of Queen's University.

Hockey Mask and Chainsaw
File:662808-simpsons homer chainsaw3 2600.gif
"HEY BART DO YOU WANNA SEE MY NEW CHAINSAW AND HOCKEY MASK!"
Common reference of a Slasher Flick serial killer: a big guy wielding chainsaw and wearing a hockey mask. Enormously common in parodies and tributes of the genre.
This is largely a Composite Character between two of the most famous Slasher Flicks killers: Jason of Friday the 13th and Leatherface of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
While it might seem like a case of Did Not Do the Research, even the people who know a lot about horror films use this trope, so that's not the case. It's just as likely just a of Captain Ersatz of Serial Slasher, since none of them are in the public domain.
Examples of Hockey Mask and Chainsaw include:
3 Live-Action TV
7 Periodicals
8 Theme Parks
10 Web Comics
Irresponsible Captain Tylor has a marine named Jason who wears a hockey mask and uses a chainsaw as his Weapon of Choice. He also tends to be blamed whenever something breaks and there's a Running Gag regarding him always being sick on Fridays.
During the first part of the manga and Season 0 from Yu-Gi-Oh!, Kaiba forces Yoey (Yonouchi) to fight to the death with a serial killer known as "Chopman". The guys is a mountain of muscles with a leather-mask and prone to use sharp and big weapons, particularly, chainsaws. Images.
In The Eighties remake of The Blob, a horror film is shown in a theater, and the killer in the Show Within a Show wears a red hockey mask and uses a chainsaw.
Seen on Clark Griswold in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. He's wearing the mask for safety reasons while he uses the saw to shorten the ridiculously large Christmas tree, but the reference is obvious.
The notorious Friday the 13th rip-off Bloody Murder has a villain who uses this combination.
In an episode of Charmed, Phoebe was tormented by a recurring nightmare about a chainsaw-wielding murderer wearing a hockey mask. She thought it was a manifestation of Cole. It turned out that it stood for a metaphor of her self-harming behavior.
Revenge of the Fluffy Bunnies, the third book of the Cineverse trilogy, has one of said bunnies return from the grave with a chainsaw and hockey mask.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules has Greg and Rowley getting chased by a guy with a hockey mask and a chainsaw in the Crossland High School haunted house. Mom steps in just before he catches them and tells him that chasing people around with a chainsaw is "not nice."

Residents from Port Hueneme and south Oxnard expressed frustration and disgust over a lingering odor in recent months.
Foul odor is not new in the neighborhoods near the Oxnard wastewater treatment plant, but why has the smell gotten so intense in recent weeks and months?
That's the $1 million question posed at a community meeting Saturday morning at the Port Hueneme City Council chambers. Residents from Port Hueneme and south Oxnard expressed frustration and disgust over a lingering odor that has been described as sulphur, sewer, boiling cabbage and rotten hot dogs.
Chase Shockley, 13, a student at E.O. Green Junior High, said she's no longer able to play at the park, and her little sister said she wants to throw up when outside.
Some say they've experienced dizziness and headaches. Local residents who work in eastern Ventura County say symptoms go away when they're not home.
Local officials do not know the source of the mysterious odor, but the sewage plant might not be the only culprit.
Mike Villegas of the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, said inspectors have gone out into the community in the middle of the night, when residents say the odor is most potent. Inspectors detected odors coming from New Indy Containerboard, a paper-recycling facility on Perkins Road near the sewage plant.
Villegas said the district is committed to solving the problem and will meet with the paper company to review its use of chemicals.
Shirley Godwin has lived in south Oxnard for nearly six decades: We've smelled unusual smells that we haven't smelled in 56 years.
Representatives from the cities of Oxnard and Port Hueneme who attended the meeting also promised to get to the bottom of the mystery odor.
Oxnard Assistant Public Works Director Thien Ng said until the city purchases a scrubber to handle odor control, it will seek an expedited contract to chemically treat wastewater before it arrives at the plant. Ng said he wants residents to call the 24-hour odor hotline and an inspector will come in 20 to 30 minutes to investigate the odor. He said residents should call even if it's Thanksgiving or Christmas.
"If the smell is coming from us, we want to have some kind of plan to minimize it right away," Ng said.
But odor isn't the only problem. Accompanying the strange smells is a whole lot of noise, residents say. Some people have found ash on their cars and patios.
Debbie Clark, a Port Hueneme resident who lives in Surfside 4, described the sound as beeping, metal banging and high-pitched sounds. That and the horrible smells have made life unbearable, she said.
The city of Oxnard's odor hotline is 805-797-7598.


A version of the following column appeared in this morning's DomPost. An unorthodox view.
Indiana spends $250 million on TANF (largely equivalent to our Sole Parent Support) in a population of 6.5 million. NZ spends 7 times more for a population 31 percent smaller.
But what really surprised me was the small numbers that followed.
$120,000 withdrawn from ATMs in no-go places like liquor stores in 2012.
$45,000 spent developing technology to stop it.
$400 a month to run the system.
These are highly motivated and efficient bureaucrats.
Of course there is nothing to stop people withdrawing cash elsewhere and still spending it on things like alcohol and tobacco. But TANF spending is already very low because the US moved towards a system of emphasis on in-kind assistance over cash. A lot of federal and state funds are spent getting people into work, job subsidies, Medicaid, food stamps, utility payments, housing subsidies, childcare etc. There's not that much cash splashing around.
What has kept welfare recipients from spending taxpayer dollars on alcohol, slot machines and strip clubs? Very little, writes Jillian Kay Melchior for National Review, until Congress passed a bill in 2012 outlawing the use of benefits at such places and encouraging state governments to institute similar controls.
The state passed a law requiring ATM vendors to block withdrawals of cash benefits at certain restricted locations.
The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration spent $45,000 to develop technology that can match electronic-benefits-transfer (or EBT) transactions and track EBT users who have received warnings from the state's Alcohol and Tobacco Commission about unlawful withdrawals. Now, the technology costs less than $400 per month in monitoring, including staff time.
Welfare recipients who withdraw cash at an unlawful location receive a strongly worded letter, followed by a letter and investigation after their second offense and action by the local prosecutor after their third offense. Beneficiaries found guilty of unlawful withdrawals face a $500 fine and up to 60 days in prison.
In 2012, Indiana TANF users withdrew more than $120,000 from ATMs with their EBT cards in liquor stores, strip clubs, tobacco shops, casinos, resorts, golf clubs and amusement parks.
In 2014, fewer than 15 first-time EBT violations have taken place each month, according to Indiana officials. Additionally, there have been less than 5 second-time offenses each month and only two third-time violations in all of 2014.
Of the $250 million in the state's TANF program, officials have identified less than $6,000 in unlawful fund use.
Source: Jillian Kay Melchior, "Welfare Abuse Almost Quelled," National Review, June 24, 2014.
The statistical evidence for inter-generational welfare dependency is thin on the ground. But MSD has just released its Benefit System Performance Report (what a couple of weeks for reports).
A lot of focus has rightly gone on young entrants because they have the greatest forward liability. Not just because of their age but the factors that contribute to their early reliance. When I delve into the actual report I may find data about just how long these newcomers had spent on their parent's benefit.
While the number of people on Jobseeker and Sole Parent benefits has also been declining at a faster rate than the 2012 valuation projected, there has been a higher than expected rate of transition from Jobseeker – Work Ready to both the Jobseeker – HCID state and to Supported Living Payment.
A higher than expected rate of transfer to Supported Living Payment is also occurring from both Jobseeker – HCID and Sole Parents.
Essentially what this is describing is migration from work-tested unemployment benefits to non-work-tested disability benefits. It's the backlash to setting tougher work expectations.
The Future Focus changes were introduced from September 2010. They require reapplication for unemployment benefit every 52 weeks and place part-time work obligations on sole parents whose youngest child is aged five or more and full-time obligations if youngest child is aged 14 or more.
Both of these initiatives have led to a shorter average time spent on benefit for Jobseeker and Sole Parent clients of approximately one and a half weeks. There is no indication to date of an increase in the time spent off benefit for either group, which suggests greater focus is required to ensure off benefit outcomes are sustained.
More underwhelming results. If, for argument's sake, a sole parent is currently spending an average of 8 years dependent, the reforms have shaved off just a third of a percent.
Generally benefit numbers fell between the reporting dates - June 2012 and June 2013. Hence the estimated liability cost falls. But most of the decrease is in Jobseeker and Sole Parent and these are often the easy- to- place people. Many would have been temporarily unemployed due to the GFC. The 2014 (295,320 in March) numbers are still above what they were in March 2008 (255,754).
National do little to explain or defend their 'child poverty' position publicly. They'll answer questions in the house (which few people listen to) but don't strenuously explain why an employment strategy to reduce child poverty is the only effective choice. Avoidance of emotive, easily misconstrued or misunderstood issues might be a deliberate strategy.
Muriel Newman has never lost her determination to make change happen. And we regularly work together on expressing a view that is distinct from the Left.
My latest NZCPR article discusses Child Poverty in New Zealand, by Jonathon Boston and Simon Chapple.
This week's NZCPR Guest Commentator, welfare researcher Lindsay Mitchell, has carefully read the book and shares her analysis with us. She refutes the claim that child poverty is the result of the benefit cuts in the nineties, demonstrating that supplementary assistance has risen at a faster rate than wages since that time. In particular she points out that increasing benefit levels would reduce the incentive to work.
"In my view, this is the crux of the matter. To maintain a margin between incomes from work and incomes from welfare, benefit payments should stay at their current level. However, greater efforts to get beneficiary parents into employment are paramount.
Muriel takes on the Owen Glenn Report here.
The People's Report is the first tranche of Sir Owen Glenn's $2 million inquiry into child abuse and domestic violence. Set up in 2012, the final report of the inquiry is expected to be published before the end of the year as a policy Blueprint.
While there will undoubtedly be some worthwhile policy suggestions from the inquiry, this first report (which summarises the experiences of around 500 victims, offenders, and frontline workers) appears to have been largely captured by ideological interests.
It goes on to say, the experience of colonisation is responsible for domestic violence, in that "these experiences broke down their wairua (spirit, soul) and their mana (status, control), making people feel whakamā (ashamed, embarrassed) and whakaiti (belittled) – some of which has survived in successive generations".
From time to time there are conversations and calls to talkback that justify why I listen. When the debate gets gritty most calls demand attention. But then one call will stop you still. It happened on Leighton Smith's show today.
The scissor attack in a Pacifc Christian South Auckland school, following a myriad of other recent violent incidents, prompted the conversation we have ad nauseam : Why?
A quietly spoken Samoan lady described her upbringing as seriously sexually abused and physically beaten by her palangi father from the age of three. Farmed out to father's friends for sexual gratification.
Leighton asked, where was your mother? She had left. Deserted the family to the father's custody.
When she confronted her mother years later, her mother said, "Better you than me. You were bred for him."
It gets worse. The caller went on to marry and have her own family. But when her mother told the caller's husband about the abuse, he declared her "used goods" and walked out. Left her to raise the children alone. Which she has done well by all accounts.
How vicious and inhuman and self-indulgent and evil some people are.
It's understandable that Trevor Mallard has refused a place on Labour's list. Being dumped down the list sends an ambiguous signal to the public. Does the party have so much faith in him they think he's a shoo in for the electorate? Or do they not want a bar of him if he can't win the electorate? I doubt it is the first. And bet Trevor does too. By refusing a place, the depth of the disrespect doesn't go public. And he salvages some pride. And frankly, why should he play their game? In fact, why not exercise some utu?
As a voter in Hutt South that's how I see it.
If voters want Trevor as their MP there is now zero utility in a Labour Party vote. They must give him their electorate vote leaving the party vote free for the government they want. It is not inconceivable that centre right voters would plump for Mallard (he isn't particularly left-wing) and give their party vote to National.
He'll be hoping that's the case. But it does nothing for Labour's total seats.
Yes, if he'd been low on the list a party vote may also have been ineffective BUT most people won't check where he is. They will just know he is on it. This way Mallard can make a big deal about the electorate vote being the only one that will return him.
Trevor's choice is the right one for him. It's the wrong one for Labour.
Isn't this a great election?
Mallard, the Hutt South MP, said he made the decision not go on on the list before the moderating committee met "in order to give people like Kelvin [Davis] a chance to be higher".
He said he did not pull his name based on where he expected to be put, saying his caucus ranking of 17 out of 34 MPs gave an indication of where he would fit on the list.
"It just gives him an advantage."
The decision was made in light of this year's changes to electorate boundaries which he says caused him to lose "more than half" of his 4825 majority in Hutt South.
"I've never ever taken an electorate for granted but I also really like being a constituency MP and only being a list one has no appeal at all."
Never stopped him using the list insurance in the past.
3. That we stop discounting justice. Those who commit crimes do the time they are sentenced to, with longer sentences for violent crimes, and a requirement that prisoner's do some hard work to repay victims and society.
4. Simplify the tax system, closing loop holes, and the introduction of a tax free threshold that provides a tax break for all New Zealanders, not just the wealthy.
2/ Absolutely although I would prefer to see the word 'responsibilities' substituted for 'privileges'.
3/ I like the idea of shortened sentences for good behaviour and demonstrated efforts to rehabilitate. On the other hand we have a serious problem with paroling dangerous people. I recently visited someone in prison who talked about the number of people he knew would re-offend on release. They were hellbent on pay back.
4/ Another I can't disagree with.
I hope Christine Rankin does stand. She's colourful and outspoken.

Less than four short years into their career, death metal defenders of the old Gruesome — featuring current and former members of Exhumed, Possessed, Malevolent Creation, etc. — returns with its second full-length sermon, Twisted Prayers.
The eight track offering follows Death's paradigm shift during the Spiritual Healing era, incorporating more cerebral, melodic instrumentation with elements of thrash and thought-provoking, socially conscious lyrics. Recorded at New Constellation Studios in Orlando, Florida with producer Jarrett Pritchard (Exhumed, 1349, Goatwhore, Wolvhammer) who has been instrumental in crafting the band's sonic homage, Twisted Prayers features Gruesome doing what they do best across over forty minutes of unholy hymns with lurid melodies and vulgar atmospheres. The band has once again teamed up with the legendary artist Ed Repka (Death, Atheist, Massacre, etc,) for the album's blasphemous cover art in addition to legendary Death guitarist James Murphy (Death, Obituary, Testament) for a pair of special guest guitar solos. Bow your heads and worship at the altar of Gruesome!
Gruesome Twisted Prayers is due out June 1st on CD, LP, deluxe LP, cassette, and digital formats via Relapse Records. Physical packages are available via Relapse.com and digital downloads/streaming services at this location.
Additionally, Gruesome will release a cover of Mantas' "Legion Of Doom" as part of Decibel Magazine's Flexi Series in the forthcoming June 2018 issue as a special pictured flexi disc. An accompanying Flexi Disc featuring companion artwork and a cover of Possessed's "The Exorcist" will be available with the deluxe LP edition of the album at Relapse.com.
Gruesome will kick off a European headlining tour this summer. Beginning July 19th, the trek will travel through two dozen cities and includes appearances at Obscene Extreme 2018, Wacken Open Air, Free & Easy Festival, Stonehenge Festival and more. See all confirmed dates here.


same as for any streamers, for the Antiwobblers I use the 0,1 mm mono line instead of the tying thread. This makes it possible to create a semi-clear fly, very similar to young pelagic baitfish.
Any long or medium shank hook with a straight eye and heavy wire can be used. The TMC 811S hooks are one of the best types.
The «billet» for the Antiwobbler consists of a hook and a plastic blade. The approximate size of the blade of a fly on #4 hook should be 10-12 by 6-7 mm; if the hook is 1/0, it should be 13-17 by 7-10 mm. These sizes consider the «active» part of the blade in front of the hook eye — without a narrow «tail» of the blade. On this simple base you could tie the Anti-wobblers of three main types: 1- with a foam back, 2 — Matukka style with a back out of a feather, and 3 — the simplest fly which has only hook, blade, body & tail. All 3 flies below imitate little Cyprinid fish; I use them for catching pelagic predators in the Amur River. Anti-wobbler models which were catching fish: 1, 2 — pink salmon in salt water; 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 — pink salmon in a river; 4 — lookup in the Amur River (night); 3, 6, 8, 9 — lookup and skygazer in the Amur River; 6 — Amur ide; 7 — lookup.

In a new interview with The Sun, RJ Bond said there was an ongoing conspiracy to blame Orlando Anderson, the man many presumed to be the triggerman who killed Tupac, who shot on the Las Vegas strip on September 7, 1996.
Orlando Anderson had been involved in an altercation with Tupac, Suge Knight and others in the lobby of the MGM Grand at the Mike Tyson/Bruce Seldon championship fight, just before the shooting took place.
While most of the theories had centered around Tupac's feud with the Notorious B.I.G. and Sean "Diddy" Combs, RJ Bond claims it was another rapper Tupac had beef with who actually committed the shooting.
"The LAPD still pump out the theory Orlando Anderson was the killer but to be honest that is just very convenient for them," RJ Bond told The Sun Online. "The public wants to believe the Anderson story because it's nice to go to sleep thinking the bad guys are bad guys and those looking after you aren't a bunch of goons."
"It's always a tricky process dealing with the LAPD and we have uncovered evidence of police corruption over the years. Everything we have discovered over the years has been in spite of the LAPD, not with their help."
According to "Tupac Assassination: Battle for Compton," the hit job was set up by Death Row Records' former head of security Reggie Wright, and Suge Knight's ex-wife Sharita, in hopes of taking over control of the label from Suge.
"As far as me and Reggie plotting together come on now – there was no plot between us I don't even see him on a regular basis," Sharitha Knight told The Sun.
Even though the two murders rank among the most infamous unsolved murders of all time, Sharitha could not understand the obsession with the case.
"I don't know where America has gone. I don't know why people are so fixated on this murder," Sharita Knight said.
According to reports, Sharitha Knight may file a lawsuit over the latest round of allegations.
Earlier this week, Marion "Suge" Knight's criminal defense attorney Thaddeus Culpepper released a statement AllHipHop.com.com shooting down the latest theory regarding Tupac's death

Reduce Security Risks with SELinux
Discover SELinux, a security module that provides extra protocols to ensure access control security. It supports mandatory access controls (MAC) and is an integral part of RHEL's security policy.
Published 3 February 2018 7 min read
By Kshitij Upadhyay
Security-Enhanced Linux or SELinux is an advanced access control built into most modern Linux distributions. It was initially developed by the US National Security Agency to protect computer systems from malicious tampering. Over time, SELinux was placed in the public domain and various distributions have incorporated it in their code. To many systems administrators, SELinux is uncharted territory. It can seem quite daunting and at times, even confusing. However, when properly configured, SELinux can greatly reduce a system's security risks and knowing a bit about it can help you to troubleshoot access related error messages.
Basic SELinux security concepts
Security-Enhanced Linux is an additional layer of system security. The primary goal of SELinux is to protect the users' data from system services that have been compromised. Most Linux administrators are familiar with the standard user/group/other permissions security model. This is a user and group based model known as discretionary access control. SELinux provides an additional layer of security that is object based and controlled by more sophisticated rules, known as mandatory access control. To allow remote anonymous access to a Web server, firewall ports must be opened. However, this gives malicious users an opportunity to crack the system through a security exploit, if they compromise the Web server process and gain its permissions — the permissions of Apache user and Apache group, which user/group has read write access to things like document root (/var/www/html), as well as the write access to /var, /tmp and any other directories that are world writable.
Under discretionary access control, every process can access any object. But when SELinux enables mandatory access control, then a particular context is given to an object. Every file, process, directory and port has a special security label, called a SELinux context. A context is a name that is used by the SELinux policy to determine whether a process can access a file, directory or port. By default, the policy does not allow any interaction unless an explicit rule grants access. If there is no rule, no access is allowed.
Checking the status of SELinux
Changing the SELinux mode to enforcing mode
SELinux labels have several contexts—user, role, type and sensitivity. The targeted policy, which is the default policy in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, bases its rules on the third context—the type context. The type context normally ends with _t. The type context for the Web server is httpd_t . The type context for files and directories normally found in
/var/www/html is httpd_sys_content_t, and for files and directories normally found in /tmp and /var/tmp is tmp_t. The type context for Web server ports is httpdportt.
There is a policy rule that permits Apache to access files and directories with a context normally found in /var/www/html and other Web server directories. There is no 'allow' rule for files found in /var/tmp directory, so access is not permitted. With SELinux, a malicious user cannot access the /tmp directory. SELinux has a rule for remote file systems such as NFS and CIFS, although all files on such file systems are labelled with the same context.
Default configuration file of SELinux
Checking the context of files
SELinux modes
For troubleshooting purposes, SELinux protection can be temporarily disabled using SELinux modes.
SELinux works in three modes– enforcing mode, permissive mode and disabled mode.
Enforcing mode: In the enforcing mode, SELinux actively denies access to Web servers attempting to read files with the tmp_t type context. In this mode, SELinux both logs the interactions and protects files.
Permissive mode: This mode is often used to troubleshoot issues. In permissive mode, SELinux allows all interactions, even if there is no explicit rule, and it logs the interactions that it would have denied in the enforcing mode. This mode can be used to temporarily allow access to content that SELinux is restricting. No reboot is required to go from enforcing mode to permissive mode.
Disabled mode: This mode completely disables SELinux. A system reboot is required to disable SELinux entirely, or to go from disabled mode to enforcing or permissive mode.
SELinux status
To check the present status of SELinux, run the sestatus command on a terminal. It will tell you the mode of SELinux.
$sestatus
Changing the current SELinux mode
Run the command setenforce with either 0 or 1 as the argument. A value of 1 specifies enforcing mode; 0 would specify permissive mode.
$setenforce
Setting the default SELinux mode
The configuration file that determines what the SELinux mode is at boot time is /etc/selinux/config. Note that it contains some useful comments.
Use /etc/selinux/config to change the default SELinux mode at boot time. In the example shown in Figure 3, it is set to enforcing mode.
Initial SELinux context
Typically, the SELinux context of a file's parent directory determines the initial SELinux context. The context of the parent directory is assigned to newly created files. This works for commands like vim, cp and touch. However, if a file is created elsewhere and the permissions are preserved (as with mv cp -a), the original SELinux context will be unchanged.
Changing the SELinux context of a file
There are two commands that are used to change the SELinux context of a file—chcon and restorecon. The chcon command changes the context of a file to the context specified as an argument to the command. Often, the -t option is used to specify only the type component of the context.
The restorecon command is the preferred method for changing the SELinux context of a file or directory. Unlike chcon, the context is not explicitly specified when using this command. It uses rules in the SELinux policy to determine what the context of a file should be.
Restoring context of the file with the parent directory
Preserving the context of the file
Defining SELinux default file context rules
The semanage fcontext command can be used to display or modify the rules that the restorecon command uses to set the default file context. It uses extended regular expressions to specify the path and filenames. The most common extended regular expression used in fcontext rules is (/.*)? which means "optionally match a / followed by any number of characters." It matches the directory listed before the expression and everything in that directory recursively.
The restore command is part of the policycoreutil package and semanage is part of the policycoreutil-Python package.
As shown in Figure 6, the permission is preserved by using the mv command while the cp command will not preserve the permission, which will be the same as that of the parent directory. To restore the permission, run restorecon which will give the parent directory permission to access the files.
Figure 7 shows how to use semanage to add a context for a new directory. First, change the context of the parent directory using the semanage command, and then use the restorecon command to restore the parent permission to all files contained in it.
Changing the context of a file
SELinux Booleans
SELinux Booleans are switches that change the behaviour of the SELinux policy. These are rules that can be enabled or disabled, and can be used by security administrators to tune the policy to make selective adjustments.
The getsebool command is used to display SELinux Booleans and their current values. The -a option helps this command to list all the Booleans.
The getsebool command is used to display SELinux Booleans and setsebool is used to modify these. setsebool -P modifies the SELinux policy to make the modifications persistent. semanage boolean -1 will show whether or not a Boolean is persistent, along with a short description of it. To list only local modifications to the state of the SELinux Booleans (any setting that differs from the default in the policy), the -C option with semanage Boolean can be used.
In Figure 8, the Boolean was first modified, and then this modification was made persistent; the -C option was used with semanage to list the modifications.
Changing the SELinux Boolean
Troubleshooting in SELinux
Sometimes, SELinux prevents access to files on the server. Here are the steps that should be followed when this occurs.
Before thinking of making any adjustments, consider that SELinux may be doing its job correctly by prohibiting the attempted access. If a Web server tries to access the files in /home, this could signal a compromise of the service if Web content isn't published by the users. If access has been granted, then additional steps need to be taken to solve the problem.
The most common SELinux issue is an incorrect file context. This can occur when a file is created in a location with one file context, and moved into a place where a different context is expected. In most cases, running restorecon will correct the issue. Correcting issues in this way has a very narrow impact on the security of the rest of the system.
Another remedy could be adjustment of the Boolean. For example, the ftpd_anon_write Boolean controls whether anonymous FTP users can upload files. This Boolean may be turned on if you want to allow anonymous FTP users to upload files to a server.
It is possible that the SELinux policy has a bug that prevents a legitimate access. However, since SELinux has matured, this is a rare occurrence.

Oil Spill Affected Large Parts of U Street-Logan Area
by Borderstan.com July 8, 2010 at 6:24 am 0
14th and U NW: The Wednesday oil spill and subsequent clean up efforts affected a large part of the U Street and Logan Circle neighborhoods. (DC Department of Transportation))
The grease spill early yesterday morning that shut down traffic on a swatch of U Street NW ended up affecting a large part of the U Street and Logan neighborhoods. According to the city, the substance was cooking oil collected from nearby restaurants. After the spill, other cars and trucks then spread it to surrounding streets.
Dcist reported (with photos) yesterday that "a truck that was driving down U Street at 4 a.m. this morning [Wednesday] left a significant trail of oil and grease on the road."
The fallout ended up going far beyond U Street. First, the DC Deparment of Public Works suspended residential street sweeping for the day, Wednesday, July 7, in Wards 1, 2, and 4, apparently because the equipment was needed to clean up the spill.
Then, DPW announced that last night it would be working through Wednesday night to remove the sand that was put down to soak up the oil–in an area that encompassed 7th Street NW on the east, 16th Street on the west, V Street on the north and Rhode Island Avenue on the south. DPW said it was then planning to use two 3,000-gallon flushers, loaded with a water-soluble degreaser, which would be sprayed on the streets in these areas.
DPW said clean up was to be done by Thursday morning. The DC Department of Transportation assisted with clean up and has photos of yesterday's work.

Your Alexa skill can be recommended by Alexa to consumers that don't know the name of your skill or even that you have one, and may not even be familiar with your brand. Nameless invocation represents the introduction of voice search engine optimization (SEO) for Alexa. You know about SEO for Google on the web. It's time to build voice SEO for Alexa.
Anytime a consumer asks Alexa for something, the voice assistant must decide how to respond and where to source the information. Previously, Alexa would search its own knowledge base, the Bing knowledge graph or other data sources it has designated for answering specific queries. Now, Alexa will also look at CanFulfillIntentRequest information from published skills. If the query can be fulfilled by an existing skill, Alexa will ask users if they would like to to try the skill. Think of it as instant discovery of your brand by making your content available through an Alexa skill. When you make Alexa smarter you benefit through direct connections with consumers.
Alexa skill discovery has been a problem for voice. There are over 35,000 Alexa skills in the U.S. alone. The only way to really browse through the options is in the visually driven Alexa skill store in the mobile app or online. That friction breaks the natural convenience of voice. As a consumer, how can you know that a brand can answer my question or is even available on Alexa?
On the web, you search on Google or Bing and receive some suggestions. You could do the same with Alexa previously, but the results were often underwhelming. For linking users to skills, the only thing Alexa really had to go on was the invocation name. That is the equivalent of typing in a domain name on the web, but worse because you had to enable the skill before you could open it by name. The skill enablement requirement creates friction similar to downloading mobile apps. Nameless Invocation will help Alexa know more about the types of requests specific skills can fulfill. Amazon is allowing skill developers to make Alexa smarter so consumers can connect more easily with your content and your brand through your skill(s).
If you have built a Google Assistant Action, you may recognize that Alexa's nameless invocations are similar to implicit invocations. This Google Action feature was previously called deeplink or implicit discoveries because it enabled discovery of Google Assistant Actions built by third-party developers–that means you.
XAPP has implemented implicit invocations for a number of Google Actions for leading brands and media companies and they make a big difference. For example, one of our customers generates about 60% of all user sessions from implicit invocations. That means a user asked a question and that company's brand was recommended by Google Assistant as being able to answer the user request. The user has the choice of whether to accept the recommendation, and a large number do.
At 60% of all user sessions, the math shows that implicit invocations increase usage of the Google Assistant Action by 150%. This doesn't eliminate the need to promote your voice app through existing paid, earned and owned media channels, but it clearly makes a big difference. We expect nameless invocation can have a similar impact for discovery driving more consumer trial of optimized Alexa skills.
Brands and media companies can use nameless invocation to become more visible to consumers, but first they must establish a presence on Alexa. If you don't have an Alexa skill, it is time to connect directly with 35 million U.S. adults today and likely more than 50 million before year end. Nameless invocation also offers you some options around Alexa skills strategy. You can build an Alexa skill primarily to answer questions and thereby use your content to build trust with curious consumers that are looking for answers while increasing awareness.
If you have an existing Alexa skill, it requires a two step process. First, you need to consider how nameless invocations can help drive discovery of your Alexa skill and determine whether you have the right content to take full advantage of the feature. Then, you need to update your Alexa skill, enable the feature in the developer console and add the new CanFulfillIntentRequest logic to your skill.

(From the Wiki) — The Colt Woodsman sprang from a design by John Moses Browning and was refined by gunsmiths and designers at Colt's before its introduction in 1915. Without the constraints of the US Government interfering with his design, Browning developed the Woodsman with a short slide, no grip safety and no hammer. These features were in place on his Model 1903 and 1911 designs, but a handgun for the civilian market did not require them.
Hi, looking for stag grips for my Colt Woodsman, 3rd series.

Treasure the film update
June 25, 2014 June 26, 2014 OpenCaching North America Treasure the film
One of the most viewed posts on this blog the last several months was our original interview with Chris Williamson, writer and director of Treasure, a feature length micro budget film he is making to fulfill the requirements of his MFA in Film from the University of Central Florida. We interviewed him in mid March, while his Indiegogo crowd funding campaign was in full swing. That campaign has long since ended, but we here at the blog signed up for the Treasure Mailing list, and had received a few updates on progress on the project via email. The latest update was sent on Father's Day, June 15th, 2014, so we figured we'd contact Chris for a follow up interview, to see how things are coming along.
OCNA Blog: On the surface, you met 16% of your Indiegogo campaign goal (about $4,000). But from what we've heard, the publicity from the campaign attracted a donor who didn't want to donate through indiegogo, as well as some other investors? Were you able to meet the total stated goal?
Chris: Yes we did it! The crowdfunding campaign and all of the contributors legitimized the fundraising effort. This attracted some folks with the ability to contribute much more than most to the budget of the film. Through the use of a fiscal sponsor we worked behind-the-scenes to make sure these donors received big tax-deductions. So yeah, we have a budget and the crowdfunding campaign really helped to spread the word about the project. It created a lot of excitement around what we're doing even if people were to skeptical to contribute they'll be looking for the film when it's released and that's important for a film like Treasure
L-R Matt, Ansley and Rebecca Blair
OCNA Blog: Apparently the actors cast in the Primary role of Erica, and the important supporting role of Ryan had conflicts, and the parts had to be recast?
Chris: Conflicts arise and happen all of the time, especially in this business! Ryan was a particularly difficult character to cast because there needs to be a certain chemistry between Erica and Ryan. Not necessarily romantic chemistry but there has to be something intriguing about the way they relate. You don't just cast characters, you cast relationships!
Luckily Ansley Gordon came to our auditions and it was one of those situations where she blew us away. We had other fantastic actors come through but Ansley was an easy choice. When I showed my wife audition tapes she looked me and said, "She's Erica." I agreed!
We got lucky again because Ansley is friends with another actor Matt Mercurio. Instead of a regular audition we held a table read and invited him to read the role of Ryan. All I can say is "wow!". They guy has a great aura to him, I love the way he speaks, and he's different from how this role might traditionally be cast, which is exciting to me. The fact that he and Ansley already work together brings a connection into the film that I think will play out nicely!
Altogether we have a great cast. I mean we've found the perfect actors for the roles and I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to work with them on set!
OCNA Blog: When is primary shooting scheduled to take place? Are all the locations and necessary permits in place?
Chris: We begin principle photography in July and it will go through the beginning of August. We've got all of our locations locked down and we've requested permits from Brevard County. Right now we're working on getting a permit for this beautiful field in a state park for the scene where they launch a model rocket. Hopefully that works out but they want to charge us some serious coin so I'm not sure if it'll work out. But hey one can hope! If not there are plenty of beautiful fields in this world. I'm sure we'll find the perfect one.
OCNA Blog: So the Treasure the Movie Pathtags and Geocoins have been received from the manufacturers, and perk fulfillment for donors can begin?
Chris: Yes! We've received the Geocoins, Pathtags, and TravelFleas and have tested our shipping method and will be mailing them out this week. These items look GREAT. We love them and my cat Jazzy the Geocat is excited about them too because she's featured on the Geocoins and Pathtags.I'm really excited because our contributors will receive their swag and then they'll receive frequent updates about the filmmaking process during production. It's going to be a great summer for all involved.
OCNA Blog: Per the email update to the Treasure mailing list, we didn't realize the importance of feeding the cast and crew during 12-14 hour days, and that it was the biggest item in the budget!
Chris: Yeah that's a biggie. Think of it this way: 20 days of shooting is basically like planning 20 small weddings. And there are a lot of little jobs to do so there's anywhere from 14-30 people involved everyday. We have to have around 400 meals catered during this production. It's the most expensive thing in the budget but absolutely necessary to keep the gears turning. The reason to do catering and not cook food ourselves is that the last thing I want to do is distract my crew from the creativity of the film. We need the food to be there on time everyday ready to go so that it's not a constant worry.
And I can tell you this, I've worked on a lot of productions. I'll forget a lot of details but one thing I don't forget is how I was treated by the producers. I've been on really badly produced sets where the producers don't have their act together but they fed us well and that smoothed things over. When they take care of you it creates an amazing experience that you don't soon forget.
Early on I told my producer that we were going to treat our cast and crew with utmost respect by having our act together by putting in the time to plan everything properly and treating them well. It's the least we can do!
OCNA Blog: You moved filming back a little from what was stated during the Indiegogo campaign. Does the post production schedule remain the same, including you needing a "fine cut" of the film to graduate in the Spring of 2015?
Chris: Yes we moved everything back about six weeks which is fantastic because we've been able to do workflow tests, extra auditions, and get into even more of the details of planning.
Our post-production schedule hasn't changed a bit. I have to have a fine cut of the film by next spring. I'd like to have picture locked by then so we can work on sound design. Most people don't know it but sound design is an extremely important part of the experience of any film. Like I tell my students, "Sound is half the movie!".
I imagine I'll have a complete film by fall or winter of 2015, just in time for the 2016 film festival season. We will use film festivals as a theatrical run. Any festival Treasure plays we'll alert all geocachers in the area that they can go see it. Then we release it to the world for all to enjoy. Making a film is a long process but it is finite. It's a journey for sure and like most journey's it will have an end. And like most geocachers know…the fun is in the journey!
If you want to join us on this amazing journey called Treasure, the best thing to do is 'like' our Facebook page at http://facebook.com/treasurethemovie
Thanks so much Chris, for taking the time to answer more questions! We're sure we'll be hearing from him again in the future regarding Treasure the film!

There are many different types of braids suitable for almost any occasion you can think of. There are even various types of specific flower braids that can be achieved if you know how and have the time. The way to achieve the various flower types is essentially the same in the beginning.
You simply complete the braid and pull the strands into the desired position for the flower petals you desire to imitate.
The ever-popular halo braid is a go to hairstyle that women are continually turning to. This braid is like the crown braid but uses only one Dutch braid instead of two. Some believe that a braided hairstyle is impossible to achieve unless you have long hair. That is not the case.
While there are some braid hairstyles for long hair that are somewhat easier to obtain, you can still achieve these styles with short hair as well, if you have the proper hair products and some patience.
Begin with doing a foundation braid by taking a 2-inch segment of hair and do a standard braid as you proceed to keep the braid close to the scalp. And pick up segments of hair from each side to add to your strands as you proceed to the nape of the neck and continue braiding to the end of the hair.
There are also multiple videos on YouTube on how to do French braids if you are more of a visual learner. In order to create the two-sided French braids, you follow the same process but combine the braids at the end.


The noteworthy results from 22 candidates participating in the Standard Sevens were announced by school administrator Father Joseph Triphon, CSSp. today.
"We had 22 candidates taking the tests, 16 girls and 6 boys. Their combined scores were 16 A grades and 6 B grades.
Nationally Kipawa-Libermann was ranked number 56 out of 8,241 schools achieving, the top 7% in Tanzania.
We are proud of our students, their teachers, and wish to thank the students' parents for their support in achieving these outstanding results."


This was scheduled to be a one day deal, but the weather changed our plans (quite honestly, this happened halfway through the summer so I don't remember the specifics, but it was either rain or heat that drew this out to a three day event). It was pretty simple: a cardboard pirate ship was our art and craft AND our pretend play, our physical activity was a backyard pirate pools obstacle course, and our game was Find The Treasure. Overall, the big kids LOVED every one of these activities, while the younger kids only enjoyed the pirate ship.
Day 1 was coloring the pirate ship and playing pirates. All. Day. Long.
Harrison (the middle mini) let daycare "borrow" his treasure chest for the week. The kids loved discovering what was inside (and fighting over the rings).
On day 1 afternoon, we played Talk Like a Pirate. Anything the kids said had to be in pirate lingo. It was pretty entertaining!
Day 2 was the Pirate Pools Obstacle Course. The kids had to find the treasure (in this case pennies) in each pool/water table/bucket. They started at the pirate water table digging through the flour sand, then onto the bucket of cooked spaghetti, followed by running up the climbing wall and sliding down the shaving cream slide (and digging through the shaving cream), then into the water bead pool, and ending with a rinse and dive in the blow up pool.
The little kids wanted no part of this obstacle course (a few of them took part in swimming in the blow up pool), but happily watched the big kids do the course. No matter how much I explained to the big kids that the goal was to do the obstacle course quickly, they went as slow as they could. They were much happier when I let them loose and just let them play as they wanted to on the course.
The kids turned in their pennies for these smelly erasers.
I have never seen these kids dig so cautiously than I did during this activity. All of the kids were very concerned about losing the pennies they found (I'm informed this was one of the reasons they were moving so slowly).
Day 3 was a treasure hunt. I hid the treasure from the chest all around the house. The kids had to use their treasure maps to figure out where all of the pieces were. This kept the kids 3+ busy for over two hours.
Obviously some kids were more into the treasure hunt than others.
On days 3 and 4, these boys put together a Melissa and Doug Pirate Ship (that Max, the oldest mini, got for his birthday). This pirate ship is still being played with two months later!
Somehow this theme day was made into a theme week and it worked out well! I think the big kids loved it so much because it was more for them and their interests. I also have to laugh that the Find It game never gets old (even though the kids do)!
