Exodus is a 1960 epic war film made by Alpha and Carlyle Productions and distributed by United Artists. It was produced and directed by Otto Preminger from a screenplay by Dalton Trumbo from the novel, Exodus, by Leon Uris. The Super Panavision 70 cinematography was by Sam Leavitt. The music, including the frequently covered title theme, was written by Ernest Gold.
The film stars Paul Newman, Eva Marie Saint, Ralph Richardson, Peter Lawford, Lee J. Cobb, Sal Mineo, John Derek, Hugh Griffith, Gregory Ratoff, Felix Aylmer, David Opatoshu, Alexandra Stewart, Jill Haworth, Marius Goring, Victor Maddern and George Maharis.
Director Otto Preminger helped to end the stigma of the Hollywood blacklist by hiring Dalton Trumbo to adapt the screenplay for the film.[citation needed] The movie was shot entirely on location in Cyprus and Israel.
The film is based on the events that happened on the ship Exodus in 1947 and dealing with the founding of the state of Israel around 1948.
Nurse Katherine (Kitty) Fremont (Eva Marie Saint) is an American volunteer nurse at the Karaolos detention camp in Cyprus, where thousands of Jews - Holocaust survivors - are being held, as they have no homeland to return to. They sit in anticipation of the day they will be liberated. Ari Ben Canaan (Paul Newman), a Haganah rebel who previously was a Captain in the Jewish Brigade of the British Army in World War II, obtains a cargo ship and is able to smuggle 611 Jewish inmates out of the camp for an illegal voyage to Palestine before being found out by military authorities. When the British discover that the refugees are in a ship in the harbor of Famagusta, they blockade the harbor. The refugees stage a hunger strike, during which the camp's doctor dies; then the British relent and allow the Exodus safe passage.
Meanwhile, Kitty has grown very fond of Karen Hansen (Jill Haworth), a young Danish-Jewish girl searching for her father, from whom she was separated during the war. She has taken up the Zionist cause, much to the chagrin of Kitty, who had hoped to take young Karen to America so that she can begin a new life there.
Meanwhile, opposition to the partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states is heating up, and Karen's young beau Dov Landau (Sal Mineo) proclaims his desire to join the Irgun, a radical Zionist underground network. Dov goes to an Irgun address, only to get caught in a police trap. After he is freed, he is contacted by members of the real Irgun. Dov is interviewed by Ari Ben Canaan's uncle Akiva (David Opatoshu). Before swearing Dov in, Akiva forces the boy to confess that he was a Sonderkommando in Auschwitz and that he was raped by Nazis. Because of his activities, Akiva has been disowned by Ari's father, Barak (Lee J. Cobb), who heads the mainstream Jewish Agency trying to create a Jewish state through political and diplomatic means. He fears that the Irgun will damage his efforts, especially since the British have put a price on Akiva's head. When Dov successfully bombs the King David Hotel in an act of terrorism, leading to dozens of fatalities, Akiva is arrested and sentenced to hang. Meanwhile, Karen's father has been found, but he is suffering from clinical depression and does not recognize her. Karen has gone to live at Gan Dafna, the Jewish kibbutz near Mount Tabor at which Ari was raised.
Kitty and Ari have fallen in love, but Uncle Akiva's imprisonment is an obstacle, and Ari must devise a plan to free the prisoners.
Dov Landau, who had managed to elude the arresting soldiers, turns himself in so that he can use his knowledge of explosives to rig the Acre prison and plan an escape route. All goes according to plan; hundreds of prisoners, including Akiva, manage to escape. But Akiva is fatally shot by British soldiers while evading a roadblock set up to catch the escaped prisoners. Ari, who was driving, is badly wounded. He makes his way to Abu Yesha, an Arab village where his lifelong friend, Taha, is the mukhtar. Kitty is brought there and treats his wound.
An independent Israel is now in plain view, but Arab nationals commanded by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem plot to attack Gan Dafna and kill its villagers. Ari receives prior warning of this attack from Taha, and he manages to get the children of the town out in a mass overnight escape. Karen, ecstatic over the prospect of a new nation, searches and finds Dov (who was patrolling outside the town) proclaims her love for him, and traveled back to Gan Dafna, only to be captured and killed by a wandering Arab. In the morning, Dov and a patrol group finds her lifeless body. That same day, the body of Taha is found hanging in his village killed by Arab extremists with a Star of David symbol carved on his body. Karen and Taha are buried together in one grave. At the Jewish burial ceremony, Ari swears on their bodies that someday, Jews and Arabs will live together and share the land in peace. The movie then ends with Ari, Kitty, and a Palmach contingent entering trucks and heading toward battle.

Loved ones recall slain trooper
Buzz up! By Michael Hasch, TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Tuesday, December 13, 2005
Cpl. Joseph Pokorny was many things -- a fearless policeman, an avid hunter, a private person who would give a friend the shirt off his back -- but most of all, he was a devoted father.
"He cared for his kids more than anything in the world," said his brother, Frank Pokorny, wiping tears from his eyes Monday outside his family's home in Beaver County.
Pokorny, 45, of Moon, a 22-year state police veteran, was shot and killed while making a traffic stop early yesterday near the Rosslyn Farms on-ramp to the Parkway West in Carnegie.
"He was a dedicated trooper and devoted father to his two children," said Robinson District Judge Carla Swearingen, one of the small but trusted circle of people Pokorny called friends.
Pokorny opted to work a steady midnight shift so he could be home during the day with his son, Joseph, 17, known as Jake, and daughter, Alexandre, 15, known as Ali.
"If he gave you his word, he stood by it. His biggest priority was his children. Everybody that knew him liked him," said Swearingen.
Pokorny was nearly 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, but he was small in childhood and learned at an early age how to defend himself from larger bullies, Frank Pokorny said.
"He was extremely fearless. He didn't take anything from anybody. He was a very hard-nosed person," his brother said.
Joseph Pokorny received a letter of commendation for bravery after an incident on July 8 when state police began chasing a man suspected of drunken driving and pulling a gun on a trooper.
When troopers tried to end the high-speed chase by putting spike strips on the Beaver Valley Expressway, the motorist turned around and began driving the wrong way.
When Pokorny saw the motorist trying to ram the side of a police car, he steered his cruiser into the path of the speeding car, hitting it head-on in a fiery collision.
"He saved one of our guys by taking on the other guy head-on," said state police Cpl. Kenneth Yuhas, one of several troopers offering condolences and support yesterday to Pokorny's parents, Florence and Joseph R. Pokorny, in Center Township.
"He actually put his life on the line by ramming the vehicle and stopping (it)," said Col. Jeffrey Miller, the head of the state police. "He was a very aggressive and conscientious corporal, always out there backing up the troops."
Pokorny, who joined the state police in 1983 after graduation from Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., spent much of his career working dangerous undercover narcotics and vice details, his brother said.
In 1990, he joined the state police Tactical Narcotics Team based in Greensburg, Westmoreland County.
"He would never tell me stories about it except that it was scary and it was ugly," Frank Pokorny said. "(Other troopers) tell me he was always the first one through the front door with the battering ram."
Tom Alexander, who was Pokorny's football coach at Center Area High School, remembers "Joey" as a student who gave his all on the football field and in the classroom.
"Joey was one of those kids who played hard. He chose a rough career. He was a good student," Alexander said.
Pokorny's smile is what impressed state police Cpl. David Bova. "The thing I'll miss the most is his laugh and his big smile," Bova said.
"He was a great kid, a great adult who was fun-loving in high school but took his job seriously," said Anthony Mendicino, principal of Center Area High School, where Pokorny graduated in 1978.
Frank Pokorny said his brother did not decide to pursue a career in law enforcement until his last semester in school.
Following his promotion to corporal in September 2000, Joseph Pokorny served at various stations --including Belle Vernon, Fayette County -- until January 2003 when he became the vice supervisor for Troop B headquarters in Washington County.
Pokorny, who also is survived by a sister, Laura Hill, of Center, became a patrol supervisor in Moon in July 2004, but refused to be tied to a desk reading reports.
"He was, like, caffeinated. He was high-speed. He would go out and get the job done. He was not a slug," said Trooper Robin Mungo, a state police spokeswoman.
"He always wanted to be out on the road with the guys," Yuhas said.
But Frank Pokorny said his brother was "a very private" man.
"He certainly was not a mixer. He had a very small circle of friends. He was very guarded until you earned his trust and respect. Then he'd give you the shirt off his back," Frank Pokorny said.
"He was like a brother to me," said Ronald Evans, who often went hunting with the Pokorny brothers. "He was a great guy, the best. You knew you could count on him."
Crystal Hoffman, who lives near Joseph Pokorny's home in the Sharon Hill Manor neighborhood of Moon, said she regularly returned Pokorny's golden retriever when it broke free of its tether and ended up at her home.
"I didn't know Joe well, but he seemed to have a very a good sense of humor. He seemed like the kind of guy who really enjoyed life," Hoffman said.
The Pokorny brothers were avid hunters who made a number of trips together to hunt elk out West.
They last saw each other last week when Joseph Pokorny visited his brother's home in Hanover, Beaver County.
"He went out in the back woods to go hunting. He was an incredible woodsman. When he came back, he said he saw a buck but didn't shoot it. He smiled and said, 'I didn't want to.'"
Frank Pokorny, known as "Fearless Frank" for his special teams play for the Steelers in 1985 and '86, made no effort to hide his pain and tears.
"He was my older brother. I loved and miss everything about him."

A woman who has got up early too, is on the way to her job, she hurries, and maybe she is late. Outside a cafe in the very center, a man is distributing the chairs on the square in front of the cafe.

Brochure distributed around the Dandenong rail corridor for the Andrews Government's level crossing removal program which was part of its election campaign in the November 2014 election
The previous Liberal government had funded a number of crossing removals now underway with a separate package for the Dandenong Line with crossings at Centre Road and Clayton Road in Clayton to go, along with crossings at Carnegie and Murrumbeena. The project was cancelled - labelled a 'con' by Andrews, and a new one initiated which will see the remaining five go as well.
It should be noted here that the treatment now is to locally lower the rail line under the road by default at individual locations rather than regrading large sections or moving the road where it may also be possible. The cost for one location is now in the range of $150 - $200 million with a station rebuild and associated civil works with the government planning to grade separate 50 such locations around Melbourne - all somehow funded by state money alone.
With the cancellation of East West toll road between the Eastern Freeway and CityLink and little construction work in Melbourne at the time of this posting, the Andrews Government has now re-branded the crossing removals as a major project with a 'Level Crossing Removal Authority' (LXRA) to oversee it. The other major project in the pipeline is the Melbourne Metro which will not start construction for some time yet. Other projects to start include widening of the Tullarmarine Freeway and a proposal for a port connection to the already-busy West Gate Freeway as a replacement for East West - first mooted under the Brumby Labor Government's Eddington Transport Plan.
Level crossing removals were done at numerous locations around Melbourne in the 1960's and early 70's before a hiatus of work in the 1980's and 90's (freeway building in Melbourne also went quiet in the 1980s before resuming in the 1990's). Significantly increased rail patronage in recent years meant increased services which have resulted in boom gates down for lengthy periods of time on some lines - particularly on the busy Dandenong Corridor.
The image here is of a Melbourne Comeng suburban set passing through the Murrumbeena Road level crossing, looking north (see map tag)

Distributed Urban Agriculture
While the majority of the population now lives in urban areas, the vast majority of our food still comes from far distant rural farms using increasingly destructive strategies to maximize their yield. All of a sudden, however, technology and the market are giving producers the opportunity to scale urban agriculture up to help make cities sustainable. Innovations in remote sensing, data conglomeration, irrigation design, and lighting are enabling farmers to grow healthy produce on a tiny footprint with fewer dangerous chemicals. In the process, urban farmers can reuse waste as construction material and fertilizer, while operating farms distributed throughout cities in derelict and underutilized spaces.

In the United States the use of distributed power is on the increase, especially with Union Pacific Railroad. One advantage of having a pushing locomotive on the rear end is the reduction in the tendency of long trains in curves to "stringline."
Stringlining is the tendency of a pulled flexible thing (string, rope, hose, train) to want to form a straight line ("straight as a string"). Obstructions can prevent stringlining. Dragging a hose around the corner of a house or past a tree can force the hose to assume a less-than-straight line: the hose does not stringline. But without the obstructions, a dragged hose will be fairly straight (it stringlines).
A train is subject to the same physics, but instead of going around a house or tree, it travels through curves, which act as obstructions. While negotiating a curve, a freight car wants to move toward the inside of the curve. In fact, it is being pulled into the curve. Rails and wheels are designed to keep the cars on the rails in spite of this force, but the right combination of forces can overcome the best-designed track, resulting in a train's stringlining (forming a straight line in a curve).
The distribution of weight in a train plays a role, as does acceleration from a stop. Suppose a long train is stopped on curving track. There are three or four locomotives up front and none farther back. The first half of the train is empty freight cars. The rear half is loaded cars. When the stopped train starts up, two major forces are at work: the pulling force of the locomotives and the resisting (pulling) force of the loaded freight cars. Just as if a ground stake pops out of the ground, allowing a dragged hose to straighten out, the relatively weak holding force of the unloaded cars is not sufficient to keep them on the rails, and the train stringlines (derails). Starting a train slowly can counteract this problem. Assembling the train in a way that avoids the grouping of empty cars ahead of a grouping of loaded cars is a better solution but not always possible.
Another solution is to reduce the amount of pulling force from the rear of the train. That's what a DPU does. Thus the cars in the middle of the train are not pulled from both ends and they stay on the rails. (This description is simplified and incomplete, but it gets the idea across.)
The comments prompted me to add that DPUs are also used to reduce the strain on the drawbars and couplers of the locomotives and the cars near the front of the train.
The September 2010 issue of "Trains Magazine" had an informative article on the use of distributed power. The more I learn about railroads the more I realize I have much to learn.
