10 Things You Don't Want to Miss During EAA Spirit of Aviation Week
July 27, 2018 - EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is a place where veterans walk among us, and we're glad. The AirVenture family had an opportunity to thank veterans in attendance during a parade from Warbird Alley to Boeing Plaza on Friday afternoon.
A turnout of about 200 veterans lined up with color bearers carrying the flags of each service branch. The crowd, including World War II veterans, Korean War veterans, those from Vietnam, Desert Storm, and all locations and operations up to the present received special commemorative veterans caps.
As the veterans were instructed to get in line and wait, the irony was too perfect to ignore. Someone good-naturedly yelled "FUBAR!" That's an old barracks acronym that means — well, in polite society — fouled up beyond all repair. There were smiles and handshakes all around as visitors and EAA volunteers thanked the veterans for their service.
Some of the veterans walked the parade route; others rode a convoy of vintage military vehicles and golf carts commandeered for their use. Bernie Faust rode in a jeep with a U.S. Navy sign attached. "I'm a tin can sailor," Bernie vouched. He served from 1949-57. "We used to do plane guard duty behind aircraft carriers. We called them 'bird farms,' he recalled. This is Bernie's 44th AirVenture; he supports air show operations.
John "Des" Howarth rode in a jeep and wore his 8th Air Force cap, signifying his service as a B-24 Liberator navigator in the 36th Bomb Squadron, a special radar countermeasures unit. John survived the crash of the B-24 Beast of Bourbon in England in 1945.
David Watson was in Vietnam in 1970-71, assigned to the 1st Aviation Brigade of the U.S. Army, flying and maintaining O-1 Bird Dog aircraft.
Roger Witz, a self-described "ground-pounder" served in a variety of positions in the U.S. Army from 1954-86. His most indelible memory from that time? "Having a beer," he said with a smile.
Larry Maurer served in the U.S. Air Force from 1967-75 as an aircraft mechanic on aircraft including the C-97, C-7, and KC-135. He has a memory of that time: "When I went to Vietnam and I hopped out and the very first thing I heard was bombs," he recalled, as B-52s were pounding a site within earshot.
Fred Williams served in the U.S. Navy as a communications technician during the Korean War, both on land and at sea aboard the USS Yorktown. He said he really doesn't have that many recollections because his was a hush-hush life due to the security considerations of his position.
Jeremy Bennett proudly queued up with the Army marchers at AirVenture. He still serves in the Army, and plans to retire in a bit over two years when he'll have 30 years of service under his belt. "Time for the young guys to have it," Jeremy said.


The IAM has given some good and simple advice to riders on what to do after a crash.
The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM), the UK's largest independent road safety charity, this week gave some good advice to motorcyclists on what to do after a crash.
We thought we'd share it with you, because it's good and simple advice that's relevant to Australian riders (and drivers) as well.
It's easy to get caught up in the moment and forget the basics when the emotions and adrenalin are running high after an incident.
It's also tempting, but not advisable, to get involved in "heated discussions" but that won't help the situation.
Firstly, ensure you and your passengers (if you have one) are not severely injured, and if you can, move to a safe position.
If that's too difficult, have someone warn oncoming traffic.
And if anyone has sustained serious injuries call for an ambulance straight away.
The basics are breathing first then bleeding – if your casualty is breathing don't remove their helmet because they may have a neck injury. Reassurance is an important part so let them know help is on the way and keep on talking to them.
Where everyone is safe and third parties are involved you will need to exchange contact and licence details.
Taking some pictures of the positions of vehicles involved and any damage caused can be useful. If possible get details of any witnesses or emergency services at the scene.

Resurrecting church destroyed in 9/11 attacks is a special job to Tampa man
Pete Karamitsanis was born in Greece and moved to America as a child. His company is one of many working to rebuild the church destroyed in 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Author: Bobby Lewis
Published: 2:48 PM EDT September 9, 2020
Updated: 7:05 PM EDT September 9, 2020
TAMPA, Fla. — Everyone old enough to remember the events of September 11, 2001 can't forget the horrors of that fateful day.
"The buildings were smoldering and on fire," recalled Pete Karamitsanis. "First it was surprise, then it was awkwardness, then it was fear, then it was anger that somebody actually had the guts to do something like this and kill all these people."
The terrorist attacks that rocked America are still felt by those who live in New York City and beyond. It's been nearly two decades since the attacks. For many, the wounds still feel fresh.
The St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church was the only house of worship destroyed in the attacks, as reported by 60 Minutes. Karamitsanis is the president of Lighthouse Advisors in Tampa. His company was asked in 2015 to oversee the design and construction elements of the church-build on the site of the former St. Nicholas house of worship.
"When our church got obliterated, it just got worse," said Karamitsanis, a life-long Christian who was born in Greece and moved to the United States as a boy in 1969. "It was just this small church – a couple thousand square feet – but apparently it was there for a very, very long time."
A memorial has been erected at the base of where the World Trade Center towers came crumbling down. It honors the 2,977 people who died that day. In addition to the memorial, plans were made to add the small domed church there to be called the St. Nicholas National Shrine.
"That project is a legacy project," said Karamitsanis. "The response has been overwhelming, not just in Manhattan but internationally."
Karamitsanis visited Greece a few years ago and was encouraged to see his work was considered worthy of front-page news by the local newspapers. The same quarry that supplied marble for the world-famous Parthenon is the same location marble is being harvested for the St. Nicholas project, says Karamitsanis.
"It's important to me personally as a Greek native. It's important to me as an American," he said.

"The Orthodox Church throughout the ages has maintained a continuity of faith and love with the apostolic community which was founded by Christ and sustained by the Holy Spirit", says the Greek Orthodox Diocese of America website. "God is the source of faith in the Orthodox Church. Orthodoxy believes that God has revealed Himself to us, most especially in the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom we know as the Son of God. This Revelation of God, His love, and His purpose, is constantly made manifest and contemporary in the life of the Church by the power of the Holy Spirit."
The church will feature a domed roof which will glow at night and serve as a "beacon of hope." Companies from over a dozen countries spread across three continents are working on providing materials for this church. Rebuilding something that means so much to so many people is special to Karamitsanis.
"It's open to all the faiths but it is a functioning Greek Orthodox church, he said. "It's a small church but it's put together like a Swiss watch. It's very complicated."
The COVID-19 pandemic halted work between February and August. A live-streaming webcam shows the progress of the work being done at the St. Nicholas Shrine site. You can view it here.

Q: ggplot2 can I stack horizontal goem_segments? The code below produces a gantt chart, time on each project by person. It's done in two layers where the black bars are 100% of a persons time and the coloured bars represent time on projects.
What I'd like is the project bars stacked like the image so it's  obvious Jane is 100% committed in Dec.  I don't care what order they're stacked in.
Is it possible or should I be aiming for 1 plot per person and then multiplot()?

A Tibetan treasure trove in Delhi
An artist working on a Thangka painting
Visit 'Tibet House' in New Delhi to immerse yourself in the Tibetan way of life
Thinley Chodon | July 12, 2018
The Tibetan culture has gained enormous attention globally over the last few years. Sparking an interest in the minds of people across all ages, this small building located at the lush lanes of Lodhi Road in New Delhi is a home for everything that Tibetans hold sacred to their learnings.
Founded in the year 1965 by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Tibet House is a centre for Tibetan and Buddhist studies, bringing together scholars and common people alike to familiarise them with the culture of one of the oldest lands in the world. A five-story building with a well maintained Museum that stores Tibetan art and artefacts, a library with thousands of volumes of precious manuscripts and books, a Resource Centre, Conference Hall and a bookshop; this place is a world in its own.
Tibet House in Delhi
Situating Tibetan Buddhist teachings in the heart of its commitments as a site of cultural and spiritual knowledge, the main aim of Tibet House is to both preserve and spread the virtues of harmony, peace and compassion. With its various programmes directed at achieving the same, this space holds dialogue and informed debates sacred to its being. There are various courses one could enroll in, at nominal prices, to experience the beauty of a spiritual culture that exists in all of mankind. With its immense application on a collaboration between logic and faith, practicality in religiosity and compassion, the teachings of the Buddha come to life with its Nalanda Buddhist Philosophy Masters course as well as its Diploma course (both online and offline) and Tibetan Language Course, which take place on a regular basis. Tibet House also holds meditation sessions to counter stress and rebuild a relationship of the inner self with the outer world. Tibet House offers incentives and resources for research and translation projects and publishes important texts and research results. It hosts lectures with a wide array of topics, organizes conferences, exhibitions, film shows, and festivals. These programmes focus on Indian and Tibetan Buddhist history, religion, philosophy, art, literature and culture, and bear witness to the vital and evolving heritage of the Tibetan people.
Ancient Buddhist Thangka painting
Intellect and wisdom at Tibet House is cultivated not just through the traditional ways of sitting for lectures, but also through recreational activities which are open to everyone. From music lecture demonstrations and presentations of the 'Cham' dance (Tibetan Monastic dance) to exhibitions, putting 'Thangka paintings', statues and handicrafts at the centre stage, the cultural heritage of Tibet is laid out for its keen observers and learners.
A clear message which makes this Tibetan treasure trove stand out is the one that is central to the world at large: encouraging dialogue. Dialogue is imperative in this day and age, to erase misconceptions and conflicts, to bring about peace and tolerance. A safe space for open dialogue and recognition of concerns; Tibet House is led by a community of scholars, potential practitioners and humanitarians (across religions and ethnicities) who wish to seek knowledge, interdependence and an elimination of ignorance.
Visit Tibet House at: 1, Institutional Area, Lodhi Road, New Delhi, Delhi 110003

We built this list to show our readers, current and prospective theology students, some fantastic resources for learning about many religions around the world. While much of our sites focus is on Christianity, it's important for anyone studying theology to understand the broader global context of religion, and we think your Twitter feed will do a great job of helping our readers diversify their knowledge and broaden their faith.
We're trying to get this list out in front of as many people interested in theology as possible, especially students, so any help you can offer by sharing this through your website or Twitter feed will be greatly appreciated.
I welcome feedback and questions, so feel free to write any time.
I'm overjoyed to find your website and have been encouraged by your articles, e-books, and blog posts. The past year or so I've studied Hinduism- first non-duality/Advaita Vedanta- then most recently I've been following Bhakidevanta Swami Prabhupada's method of Bhakti yoga. Something became flawed in that presentation but I know the truth shines unclouded somewhere.
My background in Christianity and Islam allowed moment-by-moment devotion and provided rites of worship to express my love and submission to the Supreme God. The worst days of my life have been when the foundations of those faiths caved in and I was merely existing or when I was stuck in godless Buddhism.
Just knowing of your devotion and success makes me happier. Thank you for your time and thought.


A car is quite an important possession. Do you want to learn more about caring for it? If so, this article will teach you how to perform routine maintenance.
Make sure that you always keep a spare tire and jack in your vehicle. Newer cars almost always have them. This way you won't get stuck anywhere and need to pay someone to tow you. It is a whole lot easier and cheaper if you do it yourself.
Learn to change your taillights and headlights. Hiring a professional to install new lights costs a lot of money. Ask your friends and relatives if they can help with this small repair.
TIP! You should have a do-it-yourself repair kit in your car at all times. The basic tools you will need include the tire changing equipment which should have come with your car.
It is important not to neglect your car. Simple maintenance tips can help you save so much money and keep you out of the auto repair shop. Apply this advice when car issues hit, and you will be just fine.

Blackhawk's cost base on the UMG shares purchased is $1,358,000. UMG has recently announced a binding transaction with Gegs Capital Corp. ("UMG/Gegs Transaction") whereby UMG will complete a reverse takeover transaction with the resulting issuer being renamed UMG Media Ltd. The transaction has a deemed value of $27,500,000 for all of the shares or UMG.
This corresponds to a value of approximately $5,500,000 for the shares that Blackhawk holds of UMG. On a per share basis of Blackhawk that equates to approximately $0.13 per Blackhawk share. Blackhawk intends to distribute the resulting issuer shares of the UMG/Gegs transaction to each shareholder of Blackhawk on a proportionate basis. This would equate to approximately 0.7 of a UMG/Gegs share for each Blackhawk share that is held at the record date. Blackhawk will provide a further update as the UMG/Gegs transaction progresses.

PCI 30 seconds newsletter #20 - PCI DSS and SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls: The Sumo match.
How we can be sure that the PCI DSS requirements are sufficient and stay aligned with the evolution of attacks? This is a fair question raised by Mike Mitchell VP global network operations at American Express and chair person at the PCI council.
On page 7 of PCI DSS V2 one could read that "PCI DSS comprises a minimum set of requirements for protecting cardholder data, and may be enhanced by additional controls and practices to further mitigate risks." The term "minimum" in the above statement made me anxious and I felt the need to clarify if PCI DSS was really about the least possible requirements that an organization should implement to protect the sensitive data. Don't we left something critical on the side?
What are the connectivities between PCI DSS and SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls?
Which controls map which requirements?
Which of PCI DSS or SANS is the most prescriptive, the more demanding?
What are the gaps and how wide are they?
And finally: What's the value of PCI DSS on a security scale?
This newsletter provides you some insights into the outcome of this analysis. The detailed analysis paper could be found right at the bottom of this newsletter.
PCI or SANS: who's gonna win?
The bible, as I used to call it, is considered by the security community as one of the more pragmatic and prescriptive standard on the field. PCI DSS is organized into 6 domains, 12 requirements, about 200 sub-requirements and about 500 validation points. PCI DSS contrasts with other standards such as ISO 27002, FISMA or HIPPA by the way it tells you what to do, how to do it, how to validate implementation and even how to prioritize your roadmap. Read PCI 30 seconds newsletter #8 – DSS in a nutshell.
SANS identified a subset of security control activities that security responsible individuals can focus on as their top shared priority for cyber security based on attacks occurring today and those anticipated in the near future. These Top 20 Critical Security Controls were agreed upon by a consortium including NSA, US Cert, DoD JTF-GNO, Department of Energy Nuclear Laboratories, Department of State, DoD Cyber Crime Center plus the top commercial forensics experts and pen testers that serve the banking and critical infrastructure communities.They map directly to about one-third of the controls identified in NIST Special Publication 800-53 rev 4 and correlate to the highest technical and operational threat areas for the federal agency enterprise environment as well as private sector enterprise environments (see the FISMA Compliance Guide - note: registration required).
This tedious analysis revealed important gaps in both PCI DSS and SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls when compared again each other.
40% Is the value of PCI DSS along the SANS Top 20 critical security controls axis.
On the total of 190 security sub-controls constituting the SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls, 28 are partially covered in PCI DSS, 59 are fully covered while 103 of these sub-controls aren't covered by PCI DSS.
If PCI addresses all SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls with the exception of #2- Inventory of authorized and unauthorized software, this study reveals a poor coverage in PCI DSS at the level of the technical security sub-controls of SANS.
#14- Maintenance, Monitoring, and Analysis of Audit Logs.
#15 - Controlled Access based on the need to know.
The other controls are covered with an average of 42%.
49% Is the value of SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls along the PCI DSS axis.
On a total of 180 sub-requirements constituting the PCI DSS 12 requirements, 8 are not applicable within the context of SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls, 21 are partially covered by SANS, 73 are fully covered and 78 are not covered by SANS.
The study reveals that PCI DSS is much better structured and covers a wider spectrum of security domains than SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls. Physical protection, policies and procedures, line and data encryption are poorly or not addressed by SANS Top 20.
#7 - Restrict access to sensitive data by business need to know (28%).
The other requirements are covered in SANS Top 20 with an average of 61%.
A potential explanation for these deviations is the fact that PCI DSS is feeding a compliance program that ought to be flexible and affordable by a variety of profiles with different level of knowledge's while SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls are concerned about security and target a more specialized audience.
According to Mike Mitchell, VP global network operations at American Express and chairperson at the PCI council, PCIco objective is to integrate Security in organizations everyday business. This study underlines that neither of PCI DSS or SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls seem to cover the least sufficient enough measures to defend against know attacks. Therefore, the community would greatly benefit of a new standard combining the best of PCI DSS and the SANS Top 20 Critical Security Controls. Are there candidates for such an enterprise?

What is your perspective on these results?
Are you confident about the minimum bar of PCI?
Is it too much or too low?
Do you see this analysis as valuable for the security community?

ODB: The Last Call
May 28, 2018 /in Our Daily Bread /by YMI
READ: 2 Samuel 1:17–27
How the mighty have fallen! 2 Samuel 1:27
After serving his country for two decades as a helicopter pilot, James returned home to serve his community as a teacher. But he missed helicopters, so he took a job flying medical evacuations for a local hospital. He flew until late in his life.
Now it was time to say goodbye to him. As friends, family, and uniformed co-workers stood vigil at the cemetery, a colleague called in one last mission over the radio. Soon the distinctive sound of rotors beating the air could be heard. A helicopter circled over the memorial garden, hovered briefly to pay its respects, then headed back to the hospital. Not even the military personnel who were present could hold back the tears.
When King Saul and his son Jonathan were killed in battle, David wrote an elegy for the ages called "the lament of the bow" (2 Samuel 1:18). "A gazelle lies slain on your heights," he sang. "How the mighty have fallen!" (v. 19). Jonathan was David's closest friend and brother-in-arms. And although David and Saul had been enemies, David honored them both. "Weep for Saul," he wrote. "I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother" (vv. 24, 26).
Even the best goodbyes are oh-so-difficult. But for those who trust in the Lord, the memory is much more sweet than bitter, for it is never forever. How good it is when we can honor those who have served others!
— Tim Gustafson
Lord, we thank You for those who serve their communities as First Responders. We humbly ask You for their safety.
We honor the Creator when we honor the memory of those who honored Him.

1960's, American International Pictures, Horror, Movies
Cinema Sunday: The Terror (1963)
Posted on October 5, 2014 by billyd75
Title: The Terror
Distributor: AIP
Writer: Leo Gordon and Jack Hill
Director: Roger Corman
Producer: Roger Corman
Starring: Boris Karloff, Jack Nicholson, Sandra Knight, Dick Miller
Released: June 17th, 1963
MPAA: PG
With the scary day approaching later this month, I thought it best to showcase a movie starring one of the industries all-time greats. Boris Karloff is certainly recognized for his roles as the Frankenstein Monster, and the Mummy. But honestly, that's just the tip of the iceberg for Mr. Karloff (William Henry Pratt). Karloff starred in many other horror films, and certainly the films with director Roger Corman must be mentioned!
Speaking of Corman films, today's post is about the 1963 film "The Terror," and it comes as no surprise that not only did Corman get a legend like Karloff for this film, but also a young man named Jack Nicholson! Another horror film staple, Dick Miller is in this one, and he collaborated with Corman before as well. Alright, let's get down to this one!
As the film opens, we see an old castle, being besieged by a thunder-storm. Inside, an old man, Baron von Leppe (Boris Karloff), is trudging through the halls. He suddenly sees blood drops leaving a trail. He follows the trail, and winds up finding a cadaver hiding behind a curtain. Cue the opening credits, then we watch as a soldier on a horse, Andre Duvalier (Jack Nicholson) is very weary, and falls off of the horse, to the ground. He struggles to get o his feet, but then sees a beautiful woman nearby. A man is watching him from the top of the hill, but we cannot see who it is yet. As Andre nears the woman, she runs off, but then points him in the direction of some water. He tells her that he was lost from the regiment he was in, and that he doesn't know where he's located. The woman listens to his story, and tells him that her name is Helene (Sandra Knight). The two walk through the woods, and then the girl suddenly walks into the ocean and disappears. Andre goes after her, but almost drowns after being attacked by a hawk.
Andre then wakes up in the home of some old hag (Dorothy Neumann). He asks the hag where Helene is, but the hag doesn't know what he's talking about. Andre wakes in the night, and heads outside. He notices someone down by the river, and once again, sees Helene. She strokes his face, then hugs him. The next thing you know she's making out with him, but then abruptly walks away. He chases after her (who wouldn't?), but gets stopped by the old hag's servant, Gustaf. He tells Andre that there is danger near, and shows him that there is quicksand all around. Gustaf tells Andre that the woman is possessed, and that he can go to the nearby castle to help her.
The old woman begs him not to seek out the castle, and if he must, to at least not tell the Baron she is living nearby. He rides his horse for a while, but eventually reaches the castle. He spies the young woman, but she rebuffs his attempts. he then pounds on the door, demanding to be let inside. The Baron answers, and is hesitant to let him in, but does agree to his demand. The two engage in some small talk, and then the Baron calls his man-servant, Stefan (Dick Miller), and tells him to get them some Cognac. Andre asks where the girl is, and the Baron tells him that no girl lives at the castle. He shows him a portrait of the woman, and tells him that she was his wife, and, that she's been dead for twenty years.
Later that night, something is trying to break into the barn, and the horses are going wild. Andre is looks out to see what's going on, and once again sees the young woman. He yells to her, but she ignores him, and walks away. He then hears some kind of wailing outside of his room, and grabs a gun for protection. The door is locked, and he demands that it be opened or he'll shoot through it at whoever is outside. It unlocks, but when he opens the door, no one is there in the hallway. He quickly searches the castle, thinking someone must be near, but finds no one. He then heads to another area of the castle, and sees the memorial for the Baron's dead wife. As he heads back towards his room, he hears a noise that startles him. He opens the door, and jumps back, because he thinks he sees the young woman. Inside his room, he finds a picture of the woman, and wonders what is going on in this castle.
The next morning, the Baron tells Stefan that they must get Andre to leave, but without any shenanigans. Andre confronts Stefan, but when he gets no answers, he then goes to the Baron. After some verbal jousting, the Baron consents and tells Andre that his wife was a peasant girl from the village below. He left one day for a war, and then later returned home, unannounced. He found his wife with another man, so he killed her. He then tells him that Stefan killed her lover. He also admits that there is a spirit torturing him, and he thinks it's the spirit of his dead wife. Andre is skeptical, but then the Baron asks if Andre thinks he's mad. Andre replies that he doesn't know what to think yet. The Baron tells him that since he has seen the woman also, maybe they're both mad. And he says it with a smile.
The following day, we see Gustaf, and he's watching Ilsa standing by the sea. Gustaf tells the woman to go back to the sea, but she refuses, and tells Gustaf that the old woman commands her, and she'll not relent until she tells her to. Ilsa also give Gustaf a warning to not interfere, or else the old woman won't keep looking the other way. Speaking of the old woman, she's back at her house, preparing a potion, and using black magic on Ilsa. A man watches from the window, take sit all in. The man is Stefan, ans he comes inside, and threatens to kill her if she doesn't leave by tomorrow night. Stefan returns to the castle, and tells the Baron that they should kill Andre. The Baron forbids it, and Stefan gets angry.
Andre then begins to explore more of the castle, searching for Ilsa/Helene. He finds a room (possibly Stefan's?), and begins to look for clues. He finds a pistol, and checks it out, but then turns his attention to the rest of the room. He then hears a door lock, and attempts to open it with no success. A voice then calls out to him, and he tries the door again, and it opens. As he looks for the woman, we see the Baron is nearby, and something is amiss. He hears a conversation, and bursts into the Baron's room. No one is there beside the Baron. Stefan returns from the village with a horse for Andre, and he then asks him "who Eric is." Stefan explains that he was Ilsa's lover that he killed years ago. Meanwhile, out by the coastline, Gustaf is trying to help Andre, but that crazy hawk returns, and pecks his eyes out (image above)! he then tumbles down the cliff to his death. Andre tries to help, but Gustaf only has one gasp left in him, and he tells Andre to go back to the castle to help the woman.
He does return, and find the girl, and we get another make-out scene ( no woman can resist 1960's Jack!). Her plunging neckline nightie is enough to keep his attention, and she tells him that she cannot leave the castle until the crypt is destroyed. He begs her to come away with him, but she refuses out of fear. Cue another make-out scene, and they both declare their love for the other. As Andre tells her to wait there for him to return, he walks away, but when he looks back, she's gone again. He enters the castle, and the Baron, unaware that he's back, opens the same gate from the beginning of the movie. He then opens a secret passageway to another room, and Andre follows him. The Baron heads down into the basement, creeping further and further into the bowels, until he reaches the crypt. he talks to the coffin, and tells Ilsa that they'll soon be together, because Stefan is going to flood the crypt and kill him. A voice cries out to him, and tells him that he must do something. Just then, Andre bursts into the room, and calls out to the woman. The Baron struggles to stop him, and faints from the excitement.
Andre and Stefan head to the chapel, and then try to open the vault. It's rusted shut, and they cannot open it. On their way to get a crowbar, they notice a light in the window of the former baroness's window. They investigate, but have to break down the door to get in. Stefan warns Andre that the Baron won't be happy about this, and just as they enter, the Baron shouts at them from behind. He's got his pistol, and he orders Stefan to escort Andre out of the castle, and if he resists, to shoot him. His former wife shows up, and tells him to commit suicide. She tells him that they can be together again if he will. On the way out of the castle, Andre jumps Stefan, and knocks him unconscious.
I'll stop here because to go further would be insanity!
Listen, for all those detractors out there, I get the criticisms about this movie. I cannot deny that the movie is sluggish, and doesn't have the best acting, or sets, or special effects, or…OK, listen, Boris Karloff does a great job playing an old loony guy in a castle. There is a neat little twist at the end, and it will surprise anyone that watches this flick. It's a total reversal of what is initially shown. The only problem I have is that there isn't a true "villain" in the movie, or lost causes. Well, I guess the old hag is pretty much a villain, but she has motives beyond simple avarice or blood-lust.
The sets weren't the best, but the old castle was pretty cool. It looked like something from a Tyburn or Amicus flick. You know, not quite Hammer but decent, nonetheless. The music score was actually pretty good, and we have Ronald Stein and Les Baxter to thank for that. Dick Miller plays a good henchman, and really adds just a bit of flavor to the film. Anybody that knows Corman, will be able to take into consideration that the guy made films for basically no budget, and reused everything including the kitchen sink. When you factor that in, you have to at least appreciate the film on those grounds. Nicholson was OK, but watching this movie now, after seeing many of his other films, I just can't get into his character. He just isn't very convincing.
Definitely give a click on the link below, because the film is public domain. Decide for yourself if it's any good, but remember, Corman probably made this film for $50, and a few favors, so give the guy a break, huh?

I saw it back in the day when the sold pubic domain VHS for $4.99. It isn't the worst movie ever, sort of a knock off of the Vincent Price Poe movies (Corman knocking off Corman!). I'm sure if someone cleaned it up and did a nice blu-ray transfer, the film would be a bit more engaging.

It's definitely watchable and was made for peanuts, so I give it a break for that reason alone. 😀

From medicinal chemist to protein crystallographer – Anton Hamann's story
March 17, 2021 GCRF-Webmaster
From medicinal chemist to protein crystallographer, Dr Anton Hamann has made remarkable strides in structural biology despite many challenges. These achievements he attributes to new doors of opportunity which have opened as a result of GCRF START grant funding for his role as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at Stellenbosch University, South Africa – a role which has changed his life and career in many ways. Although possessing "no previous experience" (as he puts it) in the particular techniques and skills required, Anton has not only retrained into a new field of science in a short space of time, but he has also learnt world-class techniques scarce in Africa, and now develops small and novel molecule inhibitors to combat diseases. Here is his inspiring story in his own words….
My love for science and medicine
My name is Anton Hamann and I grew up on the outskirts of Cape Town, in the Western Cape of South Africa. I was diagnosed with severe hearing loss in both ears with no possibility of recovering the loss. Despite this, from a very young age, I enjoyed science and building contraptions. I was also a bookworm and always enjoyed visiting the local library. My high school science teacher was extremely passionate in chemistry and motivated me to pursue a degree in chemistry. As a result, I decided to pursue a career in science, starting with a BSc degree in Chemical Biology at the University of Stellenbosch. After that, I started with my postgraduate studies (BSc Honours, MSc and PhD) with organic chemistry as my discipline.

I was always fascinated in medicine and how it affects our bodies and staves off diseases. It was questions like – What molecules are involved and how do these molecules change the biology in our bodies? How can we use these molecules to combat diseases? Can we cure these diseases with better molecules? What are these molecules? – that intrigued me.
This prompted me to do research in the field of medicinal chemistry which is a multi-functional field with various applications in drug discovery, drug design, synthetic chemistry, and protein molecular modelling. During my MSc and PhD, I focused on developing drugs with better medicinal properties for the treatment of malaria and Alzheimer's disease. Over the course of time, I have synthesised several molecules that have the potential to be further developed into medicinal drugs for malaria and Alzheimer's disease. This has resulted in two publications for my work in malaria (South African Journal of Chemistry, 2013, 66, 231-236 and Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2014, 24, 5466-5469) and we are currently in the process of publishing the Alzheimer's disease results in a peer reviewed journal.
Re-training as a protein crystallographer
After my PhD, I decided to carry on with my research in the field of medicinal chemistry but was looking for a new challenge. This is when I joined Prof. Erick Strauss' research team as a post-doc to explore the possibilities of developing novel antibiotics for Staphylococcus aureus. This is also where I heard about the GCRF START grant for the first time.
Although GCRF START's life sciences focus is mainly structural biology, a field in which I possessed no previous experience, I was determined to learn as much as possible and be retrained as a protein crystallographer. This is where the START grant made a significant impact on me, not only fully funding my role as a post-doc but also giving me opportunities to attend conferences and workshops in South Africa and UK, and to hone my skills as a protein crystallographer. As I've progressed during my post-doc, I have become a better medicinal chemist with the new skills that I have developed in the field of structural biology thanks to the opportunities provided by the GCRF START grant.

The GCRF START grant has given me an incredible opportunity to visit XChem twice for two weeks in total at the UK's national synchrotron, Diamond Light Source (Diamond), to carry out X-ray crystallographic fragment screening experiments. I've gained valuable experiences from Dr Romain Talon and Dr Alice Douangamath and these visits also introduced me to a new field of high-throughput screening where the workflow is almost fully automated. I've had access to Diamond's state-of-the-art equipment including the I04-1 beamline. During this time, I've had the opportunity to soak my protein crystals with hundreds of different fragments to identify potential small molecules that bind to the enzyme. These molecules can then be expanded into larger molecules with higher potency and act as antibiotics for Staphylococcus aureus.
To date I've used the I03, I04 and I04-1 beamlines at Diamond to obtain diffraction data of my Staphylococcus aureus protein crystals which was extremely valuable to my research. I have also attended a CCP4 (Collaborative Computational Project Number 4) workshop in York in the UK, where I learned how to process the diffraction data to solve the crystal structures. GCRF START is one of the CCP4 workshop partners.
Another benefit of the GCRF START grant has been the fruitful collaborations and relationships that I have built with other South African and British structural biologists who have significantly aided my career progression. In addition, I have learned valuable tips and skills from Romain and Alice at Diamond. They gave me insights on how to achieve optimal crystals and what to do if your proteins do not crystallise. They have been incredible in assisting me with the XChem project.
Commenting on Anton's achievements and the support of the GCRF START grant, Prof. Erick Strauss said,
"I've always personally been of the opinion – and this is especially relevant in the South African context – that a scientist with multiple skill sets and the ability to transition easily between fields is more likely to make a deep impact. It was with this in mind that I was really happy to welcome Anton into my group: as a skilled synthetic chemist I was certain that he would be more than able to take on protein crystallography to bridge the chemistry/biology divide. And without the GCRF START grant, this would not have been possible – we are extremely thankful for this support."
I would like to thank Prof. Erick Strauss, who is a GCRF START Co-Investigator, for taking a gamble on someone like me who is an organic chemist and not a biochemist! The effort he was willing to put into me and this project is highly appreciated. I couldn't have asked for a more invested supervisor. I am also grateful to my lab mates, Dr Blake Balcomb (GCRF START-funded Post-doctoral Research Fellow) and Konrad Mostert, for teaching me the nuts and bolts of protein chemistry. I am also thankful to Dr Carmien Tolmie (previously a GCRF START-funded Post-doctoral Research Fellow) and the other GCRF START Co-Investigators, Prof. Trevor Sewell, and Prof. Wolf-Dieter Schubert for their work behind the screen to keep things running smoothly. Lastly, a big thank you to the people at Diamond for making this a reality.

For Spring, Alexis Mabille said he was thinking more generally and inclusively than in prior seasons during which he crafted a defined narrative for each of his collections. His words of choice today were "sensuality" and "combining eveningwear with daywear." That kind of broad-stroke inspiration can essentially mean anything; what he sent out was an array of separates and dresses, widely informed by a palette of primary colors. In terms of specific associations, the whole collection felt like taking a drag through an ultralight, seventies-era California filter.
The lineup had hits and misses. Mabille is a proven dressmaker, and there were a number of frocks that felt fancy but fresh for waking hours, like a chambray coat dress trimmed in broderie anglaise lace or a black-and-white cotton tunic, also embroidered with broderie anglaise. His best was a shirt dress in white taffeta with trendy ruffling at the neckline. The use of red, yellow, and blue stripes on a handkerchief top was also chic.
One got the sense, though, that if Mabille tempered his flashier impulses, this presentation would have been stronger. Tops with "Alexis" spelled out at the shoulder were too full-on, and styling each look with crystal-embellished sneakers seemed incongruous. The key to his success today was in lightness and cleanliness, foremost.


We were very fortunate to stay in the old cottage at the Heritage Garden, the highlight of our rose holiday, from the 28th to the 30th October 2014. It had been a long-held desire and it was every bit as wonderful as we had hoped. It was so exquisitely beautiful! All the Old roses were in full bloom- in fact, the very next weekend was the annual Open Day for the general public, the garden opening only one day a year on the first weekend in November and the proceeds going to charities like the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the Women's and Children's Hospital.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to visit the garden anymore – its days as a bed-and-breakfast, the open days and its use as a venue for weddings and photo shoots are all over and Walter and Kay can now enjoy a well-earned retirement after all their years of hard work!
So, in a way, this post is an ode to Walter, Kay and their wonderful rose garden! I just hope I can do them all justice!
Note: I have interspersed specific roses grown in his Heritage Garden throughout the text. First up, Damask roses Botzaris (1st photo) and Quatre Saisons (2nd photo). Walter was born in Adelaide in 1939, though his family roots were the grazing property of Hughes Park, Watervale, South Australia, owned by his family since 1887 and now run by the sixth generation. He inherited his love of roses from his mother, Rose.
After learning to prune roses from Alex Ross in 1958, he joined the Rose Society of South Australia Inc in 1959. He began growing roses and exhibiting them at the Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia (R.A.H.S.), an organization with which his family had a long association with five generations involved.
He started writing cultural notes for the Rose Society of South Australia in 1960, becoming the editor of the South Australian Rose Bulletin and serving on the committee of the Rose Society of South Australia Inc. from 1962 to 1974. He was Vice-President at three stages over 15 years from 1964 on, then President from 1972 to 1974, and has been an honorary life member of the society since 1978.
Here are photos of the bright yellow Species rose Rosa hemisphaerica and Gallica rose Sissinghurst Castle. In 1976, he established a rose and cut flower nursery called 'The Flower Garden', later trading as 'The Rose Garden', based at Hughes Park and supplying thousands of bare-rooted roses and cut roses to nurseries and supermarkets all over Australia for 24 years. He retired from the nursery in 2000.
Also in 1976, he was elected to the Horticulture and Floriculture Committee of the R.A.H.S. and has served in a number of positions from Chairman (1985 to 1996; 1998 to 2007), Treasurer (2004) and Board Member (1994).
Here are photos of China roses: Viridiflora 1833 and Perle d'Or 1884. He has won a number of awards for his exhibits, including the Banksian Medal twice from the Royal Horticultural Society, United Kingdom, and five Grand Champions.
Below are photos of Tea Roses: Devoniensis 1838; Rosette Delizy 1922; and Francis Dubreuil 1894. Walter has written numerous articles, including their culture, cultivars and propagation, some of which can be read at : http://sarose.org.au/growing-roses/cultural-notes . He was also a co-author of Botanica's Roses. He has also delivered many speeches about roses and was a Lecturer at the 2008 Rose Conference, Adelaide.
These photos are of the beautiful Kordes rose, Fritz Nobis 1940. He has been actively involved in the development of many prominent rose gardens in South Australia, including the old rose section of the Adelaide International Rose Garden and the modern rose garden at Carrick Hill.
In 1999, he attended the International Rose Conference in Lyon, France, where he met Jean-Pierre Guillot and became the Australian agent for his new breed of roses called 'Rosa Generosa'. He also bought a 9 Ha (22 acre) block of land at Sevenhill as a retirement property, but more about that later!
This stunning Guillot rose is called Sonia Rykiel 1991. Walter is a highly respected rosarian, both here in Australia and internationally. He was Winner of the Australian Rose Award in 2007 and the TA Stewart Memorial Award and Distinguished Service Award from the Heritage Rose Society in 2008.
In 2009, he was given the World Rose Award (Bronze Medal) by the World Federation of Rose Societies. Finally, for all his services to the rose industry, the show and his charity donations from his open days, he received an Australia Day Mayoral Award from the Clare and Gilbert Mayor in 2014.
Hughes Park has been a Duncan family property for six generations. The original part of the homestead was built between 1867 and 1873 for Sir Walter Watson Hughes, a co-founder of Adelaide University. When he died in 1887, he left Hughes Park to his nephew, Walter's great-grandfather, Sir John James Duncan (1845-1913), who built a further section on the front of the homestead in 1890. The homestead complex also included a dairy, blacksmithy, stables, a petrol house, coach house, offices, workmen's cottages, maids' quarters and a manager's house.
The two-storey honey coloured sandstone homestead has a very old Noisette rose, Cloth of Gold 1843, growing along the front verandah. It is over 100 years old, being one of the earliest yellow roses in Europe, and flowers early with the tall bearded iris, repeating in Autumn. While this photo was not taken at Hughes Park, I have included it as it is a photo of Cloth of Gold. Walter had his nursery and rose display garden at Hughes Park for many years and featured in many magazine articles, as well as Susan Irvine's book 'Rose Gardens of Australia'.
The display garden was situated below the old homestead and sheltered on one side by two enormous Ash trees, originally planted by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and on the other side by huge century-old olive trees, through which an old Rosa laevigata clambers, its creamy white single fragrant flowers (in early Spring) contrasting beautifully against the blue-grey foliage of the olive trees.
The display garden was divided into quarters by North-South and East-West pathways, over which there are 20 decorative metal arches, 5 metres apart, supporting a Climbing Souvenir de la Malmaison 1843 on either side. Walter fell in love with this rose, which was painted extensively by Hans and Nora Heysen and planted at their garden at The Cedars, Hahndorf.
On either side of the paths were rose-filled borders, under-planted with self-seeding plants, including forget-me-knots; white honesty; poppies; foxgloves; violets; hellebores; blood lilies; and tall bearded iris, with climbers espaliered on tall fences at the back. Here is a photo of that beautiful romantic Bourbon rose: Souvenir de la Malmaison. Beyond the display garden were extensive nursery beds in open paddocks. Walter sold over 100 000 roses each year. He used Dr. Huey 1915, a vigorous thornless rose which grows easily from cuttings, as his understock and flew his budder out from England every year. Walter ran his nursery from 1976 to 2000.
After he left Hughes Park, the homestead was empty for 10 years, before being renovated by his nephew, Andrew Duncan, and his wife Alice. They opened the two-bedroom 1845 cottage as a bed-and-breakfast in April 2009.
When Walter and Kay bought the 9 ha property back in 1999, it was just a bare paddock with a rundown 140 year old cottage, originally owned by Agnes, Polly and Jack McCord, who had an orchard and a reputation for growing the best chrysanthemums in the Clare Valley.
When his childhood home in Greenhill Rd., Eastwood, was to be demolished in the late 1990s, Walter salvaged all the materials, including 1 1/8 inch Baltic pine floorboards, bricks and blue stone, cast iron, windows and doors, transporting it all and storing it in old sheds on his new property. He designed a house, similar in style to the old place, but adapted to modern style living with a large open-plan kitchen and family room at the back of the house. The decorative cast-iron verandah railings are swagged in Mme Grégoire Staechlin 1927 (also known as Spanish Beauty) and the stone walls are covered in ivy, connecting the house with the garden. Other walls are covered with a Chinese Wisteria Wisteria sinensis, Mme Alfred Carrière 1875 and Lamarque 1830 , under-planted with erigeron, forget-me-knots and aquilegia, and Bonica 1982 and the Edna Walling Rose 1940. Once they had built the house, they turned their attention to the old sandstone cottage, converting it to bed-and-breakfast accommodation by 2002. It has two living areas, a wood fire and a cosy bedroom. Kay is a keen quilter, so her beautiful quilts can be seen in every room. We stayed three nights for the price of two, a very generous offer, especially given the provision of a full breakfast, a complimentary bottle of Clare Valley wine, and port and European chocolates, as well as wonderful vases of fresh roses from the garden! Breakfasts was eaten out on the front patio near the old chimney ruin, covered with R. brunonii. The cottage walls are covered with Noisette roses Céline Forestier 1842 (1st photo) and Crépuscule 1904 (2nd and 3rd photo). The fence is covered with a huge yellow Banksia Rose, which blocks the southern wind and there are two arches of Phyllis Bide 1923 at the entrance to the cottage on McCord Lane.
And the riot of colour in the garden bed at the back of the main house. Walter and Kay designed a 2 ha (6 acres) English-style garden with a backdrop of the Australian bush. In 2012, Catherine O'Neill painted a watercolour plan of the garden, showing the main sections of the garden. Walter and Kay used the existing trees as a starting point: a 70 to 80 year old walnut tree; and gnarled old plum and fig trees. They planted a quick-growing row of poplars, which are now 40 feet high and provide shelter from the north, as well as birches and prunus. At the side of the property, they planted a quince orchard (Smyrna Quinces) with 200 trees, the fruit used by Maggie Beer for her famous quince paste. I loved the statue at the end of the quince orchard.
A crab apple walk of Malus 'John Downie', with its cream Spring flowers and orange to red Autumn fruit, leads to the rear of the garden, where Walter has his French-bred Guillot rose collection. These hardy, drought-tolerant free-flowering, fragrant, pastel roses have an even growth habit and look a bit like David Austin roses. They include Sonia Rykiel 1991; Paul Bocuse 1992 (photo below); William Christie, bred before 1998; and Gene Tierney, bred before 2006. Knight's Roses are now the agent. See: http://knightsroses.worldsecuresystems.com/guilliot.htm#.WQAqa9zafIU. Behind the Guillot rose patch is a vegetable garden and a contemplative area with a gravel courtyard, wellhead, candle pines and a claret ash. However, it is the front of the house, which is the highlight, with a 200 foot long archway, transferred from Hughes Park, extending from the front gate to a wedding pavilion near the house. The 22 arches are spaced 4 metres apart and support Climbing Souvenir de la Malmaison. The arch is narrowed in the middle by two urns, giving the tunnel an illusion of increased length. It is such a romantic beautiful sight in full bloom! On one side of the fragrant avenue are deep beds of Tea Roses including : Nestor; Maman Cochet 1892; Triumph de Guillot Fils 1861; and Monsieur Tillier 1891. Walter has over 2000 roses, including Species Roses; Rugosas; Gallicas; Albas; Damasks; Centifolias; Bourbons like Mme Isaac Pereire 1881; Teas; Noisettes and David Austin Roses like Golden Celebration (2nd photo). They are planted on arbours, arches, along swags and up pillars and under-planted with foxgloves; delphiniums; erigeron; forget-me-knots; iris and poppies to create a total picture. Climbing Lorraine Lee 1924 is one of the first roses to flower in Spring, then continues right into Winter. The Mutabilis 1894 against the house is enormous! The scent from Rugosa, Mme Lauriol de Barny 1868, is superb! In Winter, Walter prunes over 200 roses from the third week of July to early August. He fertilizes them twice a year with Sudden Impact, just after pruning and at the end of February of early March for an Autumn flush. The grass parrots used to nip the new rosebuds, but he has deterred them by an ingenious, safe and effective arrangement of fishing lines. The dry hot Summers of South Australia are ideal for roses, but necessitates lots of watering and vigilance against bush fire risk. Other garden features include a bridge over the creek; an aviary and chookhouse; a fountain on the front lawn; topiaried trees and statues, providing focal points. The Heritage Garden was the 2004 winner of the Most Outstanding Garden in the Clare Valley in the New Tourism category. We feel very privileged to have been able to stay there and enjoy the garden on our own for three full days!
I will finish this segment with a photo of Large-Flowered Climber Blossomtime 1951.
If you are in the area, it is also worth exploring the local countryside with its rustic architecture and heritage villages, like Farrell Flat, Burra and Mintaro (photos below), as well as a number of wineries like Skillogalee Winery, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. (https://www.skillogalee.com.au/). It certainly was a wonderful end to our fabulous rose holiday in Clare! The next three posts will be covering some of our favourite history books in our library, starting with archaeology and anthropology, followed by the prehistory of Australia and finishing with some general history books.
Thank you! It certainly is one of the most beautiful gardens we have ever visited!
It was indeed! So blowsy and romantic, it was definitely your sort of garden!

Predimen Kishen Mattoo's Eulogy
by maharaj
How does one salute, bid farewell to, and remember a man who touched many lives and things in his roles as a parent, public administrator, citizen, economics specialist, and a friend? It is difficult to do so, as one does not know where to begin and where to end, and especially at the time when he has just gone.
Mattoo Sahib was a Renaissance man. It was difficult to know his achievements when meeting him the first few times. He carefully hid them in a napkin to avoid them detracting from his humanity. He looked at once compassionate and child like. Difficult also it was to see that he was undergoing a long drawn out war with cancer. Later on, after knowing him more, one still wondered where were his emotional wounds, where were the scars of the immense and the excruciating struggle he was undergoing. His fighting resources were great, greater still was his humanity.
Mattoo Sahib was born in Kashmir in 1929 in a well to do family. After going through his schooling there in about 1948 he proceeded to Banaras Hindu University, at that time a preeminent educational institution in India. He pursued the study of engineering, which was a premium profession at that time. After graduation in about 1952 he joined his native state's government as an electrical engineer. Going through for seven years in that job he either wanted to broaden his professional horizons or was less than happy with it. He undertook the national Indian Administrative Service examination in 1959 and was successful. This opened a new world in his life, started a new phase.
Following is an outline of his professional career after recruitment in IAS:
• As an IAS officer he held various magisterial positions in Allahabad, Moradabad, Faizabad, and New Delhi.
• In 1964 he was appointed District Commissioner for Chamba in Himachal Pradesh.
• From Chamba he moved to Simla and held senior administrative positions of Secretary Industries, Secreatary Forests, and Financial Commissioner.
• In 1980 he was appointed Advisor to the Commonwealth Secretariat and in that connection posted in Maseru, Lesotho (South Africa) for three years.
• In 1984 he was appointed Chief Secretary, Himachal Pradesh.
• In 1989 he retired but was immediately after that appointed Chairman, Public Service Commission, Himachal Pradesh.
• In 1994 he again retired but was appointed Advisor, Board For Industrial Reconstruction (BIFR).
• After retiring from BIFR he was appointed Member, Drug Prices Liability Review Committee (DPLRC). He held this Central Government secretary level position till 2005, when he finally retired at the age of 76.
Mattoo Sahib had developed expertise in developmental economics and other subjects and wrote four books about them:
1. Corporate Restructuring: An Indian Perspective (1998)
2. Microcomputer In Government – An Introduction (1992)
3. Project Formulations In Developing Countries (1990)*
4. Project Appraisal: A Third World Viewpoint (1978)
* This book is considered a benchmark in the subject and continues to sell steadily.
Today we grieve the loss of a beloved family member, an astute public servant, a compassionate, generous, and a very humble human being, tomorrow we will miss him. A special son of Kashmir, who did it proud in more than one way, is now immortal behind the mists of time. Many people think that the cancer which bedeviled Mattoo Sahib over a long haul of time finally won the war, but I think it was the other way. Mattoo Sahib won the war because of his tenacious patience, quiet vigor, and honorable fortitude. He showed us how to live creatively while in the grips of a lethal and debilitating disease. Out of all his virtues his humility came across the most strikingly, as apparently he did not think much of human achievements. Next was his compassion, which was eloquently written on his face, as perhaps he thought it was the highest thing we could give to others.
Mattoo Sahib passed away on April 25th in New Delhi India. The cremation was done right after that. He was seventy seven. He is survived by:
• Raj Karni Mattoo, his wife, who lives in New Delhi. (91.11.26895212)
• Sunil and Anita Mattoo, son and daughter-in-law, who live in Conn. Amrita and Radhika, grand daughters. (203.431.8361)
• Ranjana and Vijay Kaul, daughter and son-in-law, who live in New Delhi. Neha and Tara, grand daughters. (91.11. 26273012)

The Right Thing
Publication Date : 10/6/2003
Banished from his homeland in Norway for religious beliefs that ultimately resulted in murder, a Viking chieftain and his family must leave their home and travel to a new land. With the Christian king determined to stamp out the old gods, Thorvald Asvaldsson and his son Erik, who will one day be known as Erik the Red, embark on a perilous journey destined to change the world accompanied by the powerful seer Ragnar.
Once restricted to sailing near their native shores, the dawn of the longship brings Viking warriors to the unsuspecting coastal areas of Europe. The warriors descend on settlements like a plague, attacking towns at will and displaying a savagery never before seen.
At the height of the Viking expansion into Europe and the spread of the pagan religion, there is an evil in the world awaiting the travelers, an evil from the depths of hell itself.

Hong Kong democracy leaders jailed over Umbrella Movement protests
Joshua Wong and Nathan Law are among the Umbrella Movement trio that blocked major roads for 79 days in 2014 protests, demanding Beijing grant Hong Kong full democracy.

Jailed Hong Kong democracy activists Joshua Wong and Nathan Law were released on bail Tuesday pending an appeal against sentences handed down for their role in the 2014 Umbrella Movement protests.
A defiant Wong said the activists stood ready to face what he called "suppression by an authoritarian regime" as he stood alongside Law outside the Court of Final Appeal following the decision.
"The government can lock up our bodies but they can't lock up our minds," he told reporters.
"They cannot put aside our determination to fight for democracy."
The pair were jailed in August after the Beijing-backed Hong Kong government pushed for tough sentences.
Fears are growing that China is tightening its grip over the semi-autonomous city and the rule of law is being compromised.
Umbrella trio
Wong, 21, who became the face of the mass pro-democracy protests while still a teenager, was imprisoned for six months while Law, 24, was sentenced to eight months.
They were granted bail on Tuesday until November 7, the first appearance in appeal proceedings against the jail terms.
A third activist, Alex Chow, who was jailed for seven months alongside Law and Wong, was not part of the hearing.
Emerging from the courthouse in a neat white shirt with his hair growing back after being shaved in prison, Wong said he planned to enjoy a meal with his family Tuesday night.
Law told reporters there had been "unpleasant times" behind bars.
"I hope the result of the case showcases the protection of human rights in our law system," Law said of the activists' appeal.
"The world is watching."
Hong Kong enjoys freedoms unseen on the mainland under a "one country, two systems" deal made when Britain handed the city back to China in 1997.
But Beijing stands accused of breaching the agreement.
Supporters outside punched the air at news of the pair's release.
Lawmaker Eddie Chu said it was "encouraging news for supporters of democracy."
The Umbrella trio were found guilty last year on unlawful assembly charges for storming a fenced-off government forecourt known as "Civic Square" as part of a September 2014 protest calling for fully free leadership elections.
Message to society
Their arrests sparked wider rallies which exploded two days later when police fired tear gas at the crowds. This triggered demonstrations that blocked some major roads for more than two months in an unprecedented challenge to Beijing.
Wong and Law initially received community sentences and Chow a three-week suspended sentence at a magistrates' court over the Civic Square protest.
But Hong Kong's justice department applied to increase those terms, with prosecutors arguing they should receive harsher punishment.
The judgement jailing them in August said the court must "send out a clear message to society" that protesters must abide by the law.
Wong's imprisonment prevented him from running for Hong Kong's partially directly elected legislature.
Law had already succeeded in becoming a legislator but was among six rebel lawmakers disqualified from parliament after inserting protests into their oaths of office.
Wong and Law each offered cash bail of HK$50,000 ($6,400). They were required to surrender their passports and to report to police once a week.
Wong has yet to be sentenced on a separate charge of contempt for obstructing the clearance of a major encampment during the Umbrella Movement rallies.
He has pleaded guilty to that charge.
