As she has explained how Nmap works and how it is used for host discovery and port scanning. Now I am going to talk about the necessary. Necessity is an open source software vulnerabilities kind of tool. It is used for finding the vulnerabilities in a specific web application or it can be used for finding the vulnerabilities in a target host. It can also be used for finding, to discover which host are alive in the network and then perform a port scan on those host. Another feature of Necessity is it can scan a window system to identify or detect which mallows are sitting on that system. Now we will have a look at the Necessity tool. I have already installed Necessity tool in my system. Installation is quite straight forward and the instructions are given on their home page. Here you have to enter your user name and password and this is the home page of the Necess. Here you can see there are different tabs, scans, schedules, policies. So to start with the Necess first of all you should understand what is the flow of the Necess. Here you should first create a policy and then using those policies you can scan using those policies you can create a scan. You can do a scan on the target system or target web application. So what is a policy? Policy is basically a set of plugins and these plugins check for vulnerability in the target host or target web application. So there are already thousands of plugins in the Necess. You can see those plugins over here. There are many plugins and have a look at this plugin, CJA abuses, XSS. So what is XSS? XSS is cross site accepting. It is a software vulnerability that is found in web application. So this plugin will try to find XSS vulnerability in the web application. So this is a plugin, this is actually a plugin family and it has this many plugins inside this family. It has 554 plugins inside this family. So first of all in the Necess you have to create a policy and then use this policy in creating a scan. So how to create a policy? Go to the policies, click on the new policy and as you can see there are many options available here. Host discovery, basic network scan, web application test, Windows Milo machine and there are many more. So depending on what type of scan you want to do, you should choose an appropriate policy. Suppose you want to, suppose you want to discover which host are alive and do a port scanning on it. So you can choose that host discovery policy. You should give a policy name, say host discovery, visibility private or shared. When the visibility is shared then it is shared among other, among other users on the system. Then click next, discover type, host enumeration, it will just check whether the host is alive or not. There is also option for port scan, all ports are common ports. So depending on them you can perform a scan. Since this was already done in the end map so I am not going to do it again. Let's have a look at another policy, say basic network scan. This policy is used to find a vulnerability in the target host. First of all using the host discovery you are finding which host are alive and which ports are open in that host. Now using basic network scan you are going to find the vulnerabilities in those host. So in order to create this policy, select this one, give the policy name, basic network scan, select the visibility, private or shared, next here the scan type internal or external. Depending on the scan type a specific set of plugins will be enabled. And then just click on the next and the policy will be created. Here if you are going to scan a system which has windows operating system then you are required to give the username and password of that system. And if it is a Linux system then provide the password, username is always root and password of that Linux system. And then click on the save. So the policy will be created in this way. I have already created this policy, internal network scan, you have policy internal and network scan, scan type internal. And this is an optional step actually step 3 where you have to, you can or cannot provide credentials. Now once you have created the policy we are going to perform a scan, we are going to launch a scan. So let's go into the scan tab and when you want to launch a scan click on the new scan, give one name, say right now we are going to use basic internal network scan policy for in this scan. So let's go and name internal network scan, specify the policy that you are going to use, internal network scan, folder MyScan and specify the target on which you are going to perform this network scan. So you can specify the IP address of a single host or you can specify the IP address of a range of host. Like if you want to scan a single host then you will specify 192 dot something like this 192 dot 162 dot 2 dot 22 dot 1 and if you want to scan a range of host then you will specify 192 dot 162 dot 22 dot 0 slash 24. So it is going to scan 255 host in that, in that range. And then just click on the launch button. So it will launch a scan. I have already results of this, of this internal network scan so I am not going to do it again because this scan takes a little time. So I scanned this, I scanned one system which has this IP address 10.129.154 dot 1. I did a basic network scan basically internal network scan on this host and it shows that there are five critical vulnerabilities. One high vulnerability, two medium level vulnerabilities, one low and other is informational. So this shows that what is the criticality of the vulnerabilities that are present in the host. So when you click on it, it will show all the vulnerabilities that is present in the target host. Here as you can see it also shows what is the operating system that has been used on that host. So here the Microsoft Windows XP is used with the service pack 2 and service pack 3. Now let's have a look at the vulnerabilities. So select this one, Microsoft Windows XP unsupported installation ring. It says that the remote host is running Microsoft Windows XP. So this means that this is an outdated Windows XP and therefore the Microsoft is no longer creating or producing patches for the vulnerabilities that are found in XP. So if there are any new vulnerabilities that are found in XP, then it is going to harm your system and there are no patches for it. So it is also providing a solution, upgrade to a version of Windows that is currently supported. This was just a simple vulnerability. There are also technical vulnerabilities such as, let's take this one, MI067. It says that the remote host is vulnerable to buffer overrun in the server service. That may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host with the system privileges. So what this vulnerability means is, there is a C program in the Windows XP server. The name of that C program is NetAPI32.dll and in that program there is this buffer overflow vulnerability and the attacker may abuse that vulnerability. There is a C program in Windows XP server which has this vulnerability, buffer overflow vulnerability and the attacker may abuse that vulnerability. So this was about the basic network scan. Now suppose you want to, let's create another policy, say web application test. This policy is used for scanning the website to find different vulnerabilities that exist in the websites such as SQL injection or XSS or something. So if you have got your own website and you want to check whether it is secure or not, then you can use this policy, web application test. So in order to create this policy, select this one, web application test. Give the policy name, visibility, private or shared, next. Here scan type, less complex or more, less complex or more, it will scan accordingly. Web mirroring start pages here, you have to specify the URL of the website that you are going to scan. And then next, you have to specify the URL of the website that you are going to scan. So specify the URL of the website and this is an optional step where if the website requires user credentials, if the website requires username and password, then you can provide it over here in this login page. You can provide username and password in this form. And then just click on the save button and the policy will be created. I have already created this policy for scanning one website called http www.insecurelabs.com.org. So this is the policy that I have created. So policy name, insecure lives, next. I have specified the URL of the website and it doesn't require any username and password, so I haven't specified anything. Now, once this policy is created, now you can launch a scan to scan the target website, that website. Then click on the new scan, name, again, web application test, specify the policy that is the policy that you have created. This one, insecure lives, specify the policy that you have created. And again, you have to specify the URL of the website in the target. Same URL of the website. And then click on the launch. And this scan takes quite a long time. So I have this scan results already stored. So this was the website that I had scanned using that policy. So it says that there are six medium-level vulnerabilities and 24 informational vulnerabilities. So when you click on it, you will get a list of the vulnerabilities that are existing in that website. So as you can see, let's check this vulnerability. It says that the remote web server host, CGI script that failed to adequately sanitize the request strings with malicious JavaScript. It means that this website is vulnerable to accesses, actually. We had checked manually. And we saw that this website is vulnerable to accesses. And now, using the necessary tool, it was able to find that that website is now vulnerable to this. Using this necessary tool, it was able to find that vulnerability. These accesses are likely to be non-persistent or reflected. So using such policies, you can scan a website that you want. Now, when you select a particular policy, a set of plugins are automatically enabled. But if you want to create your own policy, where you want to specify which plugin should be enabled, you can go to the Advanced Policy and here, give the name and everything, name, basic, name of the policy that you are creating. And there are different option ports scanning, performance, how much, the number of hosts it must check in one scan. Different option you can specify. And here is the plugin that you can enable or disable. So by default, all plugins are enabled. So suppose you want to create a policy that is going to scan for a malware in the target system. So obviously, you don't want all of the plugins to be enabled because it will take a long time if they all are enabled. So you can filter the plugins. Using this, there is an option for filter plugins. Specify plugin name, contents, say malware. Then it will show all the plugins that has a malware in their name and apply. So it is searching for all the plugins that has a malware in their name. It will show 4 to 5 plugins that can be used for this malware scene. It takes, see here, these are the results. Now here, there are five plugins that has a name malware in their name. So this is the plugin. So you have got a set of plugins that can be used for finding the malware in the target host. So using this, this is a great tool for finding the vulnerabilities in the application as well as in the target host in your networks. Let's open the flow to questions. Can we check the application which is in the LAN or we can check the application in the LAN also? Yeah, in the LAN also. It's on private IP. Yeah, you have to specify the IP then followed by that. Private IP. Shall we add plugins? You said define plugins. No, you can't add plugins actually. There are already a list of plugins that are downloaded when you're installing this necessary. And you can just enable or disable. No, we are creating policies like we can add plugins. You can't add plugins. You can choose plugins but you can't add plugins. Plugins are downloaded from the server side actually. Here you can just enable or disable them. There isn't any option to add a plugin or create a plugin. How to install and configure this? Sorry? How to install and configure this Nesus? It is very straightforward actually. Just download the exe file and click on it. It will go on. So what about 1.2? Sorry? What about 1.2? Same process as we applied in the previous virus. Yeah. So for installation of all these softwares we are using, we will be giving you a VM which you can run on your virtual box. So this VM has already installed all the software we are using. So you can just load that VM inside virtual box and you can use those tools directly. If you want to use these tools in your colleges. So you do not need any installation separately. Yes, all the tools we are using, we will bundle them in a VM. You have scanned for a buffer overrun and said that some particular DLL has the. So actually how it is done? Actually the information about that vulnerability is provided in that itself. When you will see that vulnerability, it has given the description about it, the solution. Microsoft has released a set of patches and C also. Then it has given one link where you can find the information about that vulnerability. Let me see, just provide the information. Yeah, it will provide an information. It did not penetrate into the victim. Yes. Which is inside and analyze the DLL file. That is what. No, no, no. It only checks for the suppose it knows that this vulnerability is present in XP system of this version. So it sees that version and say, OK, there is a file which is not patched and this has a buffer over flow. Sir. Do you have to specify the IP address of that remote system? Is it legal? Yeah, it is legal. If you are doing it in your private network, then you can do it. So if you are not attacking and you are causing any harm, I think there is no harm in it. This is just for finding the vulnerability. So why do you want? OK, so tool is used for basically for your convenience only, for checking for your application. Like you have hosted an application, you want to check if there is any vulnerability or not. There can be a negative thing also. So you want to attack Google.com, say Gmail. Then you will be using this scanner. So this means that you want to do some harm. So I think you should not do that. This tool is for basically for your use, for your applications to check if there are any vulnerabilities or not. So by using it, I can find out what will be happening. Yes, you can check. But that is for you. It means you want to attack, right? Because you want to find the vulnerability or you want to inform them. Sir, suppose my machine is in the network and I don't want my machine to get scanned. What shall I do? OK, yeah. So suppose, OK, you are asking that if there are hosts inside your network and somebody else is using this scanner. You want that to prevent, right? So you can use some firewall or some rules. Any specifiers or rules inside your firewall so that another host cannot scan your system. There is definitely an ethical aspect to this whole thing. That is one of the reasons over the years, even though I've been teaching security again and again, I'm generally reluctant to start telling students in a huge class of 80 or 100 and so on to use all these, you know, ether cap to do ARP spoofing or DNS spoofing and so on because it can really create much havoc. So one of the question, that is why I always keep only three or four students who I absolutely trust who will not do anything wrong. There was a time when one of my small group actually, two or three of my students, they were working with me, they set up a honeypot and that honeypot was just sending messages in a crazy fashion. And then there were, you know, complaints from so many different people in the department that the network has slowed down, the system administrators and others that I simply abandoned this entire project completely. So there are many aspects of creating a security lab. In fact, I've got a very good book on this which I should share with you. It's not right now here with me to create a security lab. The question is who can use it? What are they doing with it? And so on and so forth. These are very, very, very critical issues because as a faculty member, you set up this lab and your students do something wrong, the blame ultimately goes to you. Why did you set this lab up? Why did you tell them to do this? This is one of the problems that I've been facing personally. So what we do, we do it in a very incremental way, just having two or three students do this thing. In fact, you will see that even in this lab that you are attending, we don't have you touch Nessus and Nmap and Snot and so on and so forth. For one thing, many of these vulnerability scanners, they generate a great deal of traffic. So we thought about it and we agonized over it. We would like you to have hands-on experience with these tools, but then it generates so much traffic, 250 participants or 220 participants that something is going to happen, the network is going to crash or something. So we said, okay, we'll just have demos and we will encourage you to install it in your colleges and interact with us about how things are going and so on and so forth. And regarding that other question about, can you scan remote hosts? Most of these attacks, the starting point, the onset of these attacks is the first step, if I want to attack a machine, is scanning that particular subnet or that particular network, that remote network. So that is the best way to catch a hacker. You see who is trying to scan your internal network, whether it's a port scan or a network scan or any kind of vulnerability scan, see where it is coming from, try and trace that. And the best way to do that is something called an IDS device called a honeypot, which traps all these things and the honeypot induces you to attack the network. See, I've got a honeypot that I've installed over here in our network. It induces hackers around whoever wants to hack to come into my network and start scanning and so on, to send certain worms and so on. And I trap those worms and then I can do a study and see what are these possibly new mutants of worms that are being unleashed around the place, et cetera. So yes, about the remote scanning, is it legal? That was the question, is it ethical? Is it legal, et cetera? Frankly, I don't know which rules exist today that say it is illegal and it's illegal. I believe you can do it. I think we have done it on Google and so on, right? We have scanned Google to see what are the services that are exposed, et cetera, et cetera. So you can do it provided you don't take it any step further because otherwise the blame will come to you. So be very, very careful. We are treading on water actually over here. There was one gentleman in the audience from Amrita. Where is he? Oh, yes, yes. So he had a very nice discussion with me over lunch about the ethical issues about this and whether we can address that. And I really think this is food for thought. We really have to have a session on ethics. Maybe we can't do it by the time this workshop closes but by the time we have the next workshop, we will put together ethics. I hope some of you will help me to put this together because it's a common problem for all of us. How to make our students do ethical hacking without doing anything bad, without doing anything wrong, without spreading wrong information and teaching others to do something wrong, et cetera. So that's a very, very serious issue in this course. You don't have this problem in other courses. You teach operating systems or architecture or databases. All these things don't exist but in security you have to be very careful about who is doing what. There's a great opportunity to abuse things. Yes, any other questions? Anything on N-Map that Ritu Bala showed you? Yes. Sir, once if he's scanning some remote host and if he found who is a hacker, then whom should we report?  I mean, you know, there could be spoofed scanning, for example. Somebody else pretending to be this guy who's scanning. You have to be able to trace the footprints very, very carefully. First, something has to be, some harm had to be done, has to be done to you. It's scanning is not exactly a, you know, anything that's terribly bad. I mean, as I said, we have been scanning Google and so on, right? I mean, are we going to go to jail because of that? So you have to, that other party has to prove that you are guilty of something, of stealing information, of stealing credit cards, et cetera, et cetera. That becomes a big issue. That's the whole subject called forensics. Maybe Professor Shiva talked a little bit about it today. How do you catch, you know, how do they leave fingerprints? How do you, I've got books on this, by the way. I've got a collection of about 70 books on security. One of them is actually forensics. How do you catch, after the act, how do you catch this person? What fingerprints has he left all over the place so that you can actually nail it down to him and say, you were the guy responsible for this thing? Yes. Sir, is any case study for botnets? Case study for botnets? Not one, but 10 or 20. How to detect it and how to detect botnets? There are lots and lots of research papers right now. That's a very good area of research, actually.  It's very likely, I always ask myself the question, how many of the laptops on this campus are bot infested? And it's probably a very large number. Monitoring everything you do, et cetera, et cetera. How do you figure all these things out? That's a very active area of research. Sir, regarding the software you are going to, you are saying that you will give the bundles of the software? Yes. So is it a virtual OS image that we have to load in the virtual box? Yes, yes. I think that images will be machine-specific. So will it run on our machines also? We have to version it on the virtual machine. But it will be configuration, it is specific to the machine and the configuration where that image is created. So will it work on our machine and our configuration also? Yes, it will work on your configuration because you will be using the virtual box. So this is a software which runs the operating system. So this does not depend on your hardware. So if the virtual box is, you can run virtual box on your machine, then you can run this virtual machine also. Otherwise, for this all software, I think Nisas, Wireshark, Nmap, for all those, I mean, they are also available for Windows. Yeah, they are also available for Windows. All the software, no? Yes, yes. Backtrack. Backtrack does not have the DVWA and all and some of... Backtrack is available. Yes, yes. Backtrack have all the things but some of them are not there. Like DVWA is not there and some more. So we are using those, so we should include that also. Yes, it is also available on Windows. You can also install. If you want, we can give you instructions for installing the DVWA inside the Windows. Is it possible to have attacks even on systems that have antivirus? That depends what the antivirus, if it is outdated and some new attacks are there, then it can, obviously. Instead of DVWA, can we use a web code? Yes, you can use also web code. Web code also has, I think, all the... Yeah, it has all the top 10 vulnerabilities, web... Yes, yes, you can also use that. But we were using the DVWA application more so we shot that. Web code is also another option. So I think with the Kali Linux, we could customize that. And all the software that you are mentioning could be fitted into a Kali Linux. Yes, Kali Linux is a new version of the Backtrack, actually. Now, Backtrack is outdated, it is another Backtrack. So they renamed it to the Kali Linux. So if we create and customize Kali Linux ISO, then it would be light and it could include only this software. Yeah, it could. So I think you all were working on the Ubuntu. So we thought that we will create the Ubuntu image. So this will have all the installation. So that was for your convenience. If you want, we can bundle all these software inside Kali Linux. It has many more software which we haven't showed you. No, we have to create the lab session at our end. Yes. Can we install all systems with Ubuntu? Yeah, sure, why not? Instead of going with two operating systems, can we practice only with one? It's not necessary that only one operating system is available. Okay. You suggest to have two windows as well as open. You can practice on either windows or Linux. Let it not create confusion so that we'll follow only one thing. Okay, so you just install the Ubuntu. Because many tools are available for Ubuntu. Like, your VyShark is pretty installed in your Ubuntu. Yes. And all these things, the backtrack. Yes. So shall we go for that Ubuntu? Yeah, if you want, you can go for the Ubuntu. But like you said, Windows doesn't have VyShark and my pre-installed. So you have to reinstall them. Because most of the Windows operating system have been outdated. They are coming with Windows 7 and so on. Yes, yes. I think you should use the Ubuntu then. Because it is. Go for Ubuntu, I think so. Yes, yes. Why are finally the students cannot attend the workshop? They're interested. We take finally the students. It's clearly mentioned that only teachers can attend the workshop at remote centers. So the question about whether students can attend, whether company people ask me can they attend, and so on and so forth, the answer is really speaking, they mandate from the ministry to us was to basically teach the teachers and to raise the standard of our colleges around the country. So you know very well that the standard overall, maybe there are of course exceptions, but the overall standard is not that great. I mean, you just go around, at least here in the city of Bombay, so many people are thinking of sending their children abroad for further studies, for a bachelor's. Why? Why can't we give them quality education here in itself? Why do they have to spend so many lakhs, tens of lakhs to send their kids abroad for education? At a fraction of the cost, we can educate them, right? So the onus, the responsibility is on us to develop very good courses, and I would really like to see security pick up and not only security, so many other courses and have not just a few universities that are very great in India, we would like to have many, many, many universities that are good in India, because we have such a large population, 1.2 billion. If you compare it with the United States, for example, just look at the number of universities, look at the top 100 or look at the top 50. Even the top 50, almost all of them have got good quality. Of course, the top five or the top 10 are absolutely terrific, but then the next 20 are very good and so on and so forth. While people complain over here, we don't, where do we send our child? He wants to go for medicine, but medicine is so expensive. We think of engineering, which college to send him to and so on and so forth, if he doesn't get into IIT or this thing or that thing. And we really need to improve the quality of education in our colleges. I mean, we should have hundreds of colleges that are top quality, not just 10 or 15 or something like that, for a population like this, 1.2 billion. So the goal was to actually spread high level of education around. So we've got many such courses that we've organized. I think recently Professor Fartuck had the programming course, C-Language Programming. Professor Kameshwari had the networks course. Professor Sudarshan had the database course. So that we have quality in many, many colleges around. Now, of course, one of the issues is one of the things that people say is, why don't you bring them all to IIT, Bombay and teach and so on. But of course, we can bring 200, but we can bring 10,000 over here. It becomes very difficult to scale up. So this great idea came about where we will try to improve the quality in say 200 colleges.  That is why I'm so interested in it. I desire so much that this software be installed, you'll start using it, you'll start working on it. Unfortunately, we can't have you have hands-on experience over here for reasons I mentioned. But try to install it as soon as you can. Try to get familiar with it. Try to become a hero in this thing and sort of train a few students of yours, maybe a few colleagues of yours and eventually those 50 or whatever people from around your area. When they come to you in July, they should also become experts. Gradually we should build more and more expertise. I would like to see a day when people say India is one of the greatest in education. When people from around the world come to India to study. Here we have an exodus, people leaving and going here and there and there to study. We have very few people coming here. We've got few, we used to have few students from Ethiopia or some students from Cambodia or this or that. Few students coming. India is not the mecca of education, especially higher education. We need to become that because we have huge amount of talented manpower. Why not harness this manpower? You see, you see so many, you go to the US for example, I was there for 16 years. You go there and you see in every single university, research lab, Indians doing very, very well. If there is so much talent, why don't we do that here itself? Only when we go there, we do well. When we are here, we don't. And education is not something so difficult that we can't do, right? If everyone puts in the hard work, we can be centers of excellence over here. So the thing is that we have very few for this population. How can we increase it? So that parents don't have to regularly complain and get worried, where am I gonna send my child to? I mean, I've heard this at least 30 times. What do you think I should do? Where do you think he or she should go? Now, what do I answer, tell me? It's so difficult to get into IIT. So then the person says, it's impossible for my child to get into IIT. The competition is so much. But at least if I had 20 names to say, you could try this or this or this, and there's a fair chance of you getting the qualities very good, it would be much more gratifying to me, right? I would feel less embarrassed to answer that question. So let us do this. Let's all get together over here and say within one year, our college is terrific in a whole bunch of different courses. Let us start the education thing and then let's move on to research, where India is then known as a research superpower. Because we have all this human talent, right? People yearning to study, people yearning to work, et cetera. Let's build them up as a formidable force. I mean, I make a simple statement. If Indians can do well when they are abroad, why not over here? Can anybody, does anybody have the answer, satisfactory answer to that question? Why can't we create the conditions where our people flourish and thrive? Are very productive. Are you doing great research in your colleges? How many people are doing great research amongst your colleagues, et cetera? Are you publishing some great new ideas? Does the world know about those ideas? So that's the thing, right? We should start by this education thing. I know some of you have done very good PhDs. I've been talking to some of you in the last three days and I'm extremely impressed on the different things that you're doing. But we should have a larger number of those people for the population. So to answer your question, the mandate is not to bring students and everything because that sort of, you know, is not really the mission. I mean, we would like to have as many students. We'll have no end to this. But at least the multiplicative effect if we, you know, have 200 participants and then each of those 200 trains another 50, then straight away we've got 10,000 people trained through this two phase thing. That is very good. Even if out of those 10,000, 2,000 are trained very well and they train their students, I think we, you know, we are successful. And do this in many, many courses. So challenge yourself to be a hero in this, in this subject and in other subjects and also to make your college shine. Say we will go all out for excellence and we'll compete with international universities. Why, why, you know, shy away from that? Let's see where we are 10 years if all of us resolve to do this. But it requires a huge, huge amount of work and huge amount of sweat. Now there is a team, right?


It's 3 AM. You wake up, can't move, have trouble breathing and see a dark figure in the room. Sleep paralysis can be both biological and demonic. It can be used by demonic beings to exaggerate their power over you.   Thus, your mind is awake but your body stays asleep. Demons can seize upon this moment to project torments that coincide with your inability to move. They take advantage of the opportunity to terrify you with visuals and scare you into believing that they have power over your physical body. How deceptive indeed, then, fear robs you of sleep making you exhausted and the cycle repeats. To overcome, address the spiritual aspect to rebuking the enemy and resisting the fear. Additionally, address the physical aspect by getting more rest. I cover this and more in Holy Spirit the Bondage Breaker, available at bondagebreaker.com.


Hospital not long ago a couple of sailors took a last look around them and said so long guys were shoving off Call them Benny and bud, but you can fill in any name you wish for they represent tens of thousands of men and What they were remembering was a chapter in their lives that would never be forgotten and here's the story It's no top secret where this combat area is for one of you will probably recognize the Marianas Road that you came over might have been better or it might have been worse In any case the road to a field hospital is always pretty rugged as if I'm telling you anything Yet what you needed for treatment you've got The man who bent down over you was an expert and from that instant you weren't just a serial number on a tag You were a million dollar patient headed for what really is the finest treatment the whole world affords From the second you reached them you were on the voyage to recovery What a man's on his back he begins to do a lot of thinking the home the girl friends but a Thousand men have a thousand thoughts One thing that you do know for certain is that you're on your way back for some that means the states Everywhere now strong and friendly hands are reaching out to help The hands of the corpsmen and the doctors and the nurses who staff the hospital ship Some of you board under your own steam But if you got it bad a Navy plane saves days or weeks in getting you to hospital For it is the special pride of the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery That nothing on the earth shall be spared to set you on that recovery cruise For the Navy takes care of its own So one day you arrive at a naval hospital No sensible person loves the hospital of course, but these are modern down to the last detail They exist for just one purpose to return Americans to their shipmates or to civilian life Whole and sound in mind and body Day after day the ambulances bring in patients keeping the hospitals filled with men from every part of the naval services Sailors marines coast guard Officers and enlisted men many are wounded and some just sick the illness of others is sometimes hard to see Here for example a bud whom we met before and Benny from Brooklyn Hey No, thanks. I I got me mittens on How about drag? Oh, thanks Say that's the same brand of cigarettes me skip a smoke. Yeah I guess you didn't skip for pretty good pals, huh? Skipper got along with me. Okay. Yeah, I suppose you and your skipper just like that No, no not like that like the great rule under which they live Doctors nurses corpsmen and corwaves is pinned down in just two words to help The medical officer in charge is now your commanding officer and because medical men are forever Hunting for the secrets of illness from the skipper on down Everyone is interested in each one of you It is a fact that not many civilians outside of millionaires could afford the treatment given you it is called Rehabilitation and it means a whole lot more than just patching you up or dosing you with pills And it might be explained like this Remember when you were a kid the time you didn't feel good and mother had called in the family doctor You didn't know very much about doctors then and you didn't think very much of the whole deal You'd rather not have any Yet because the doctor was a man who really was a top notcher in his profession He began at once to study your special case mother was your nurse and corpsman nothing worse But that didn't stop mother from worrying and it didn't make you enjoy being sick either But her job she knew was to take care of you and your job You knew was to get well and get back to your pals at school as you started to get well Staying in bed became a pain in the neck. So the doctor knowing this prescribed modeling clay and books Sickness is partly in your attitude. So these things were added to the medicine. That's what we now call rehabilitation When you could get up a little while each day the doctor recommended exercise But when he said exercise he wasn't fooling she caught you when you stalled and for your own good She kept you at it when you could go outside the restlessness got tougher than ever So mother found some odd jobs that let you work it out for yourself and that helped her too You were physically fit at last and you kept up with your class and you had to thank not just the medicine Or the staying in bed, but the other things and they meant rehabilitation Yes rehabilitation, but your mother probably called it just plain common sense This is the ward medical officer. He's the most important person in the ward because he is your personal physician Through his daily visit. He will carefully guide the progress of your recovery Because of the study he does of your case He will know more about you than anyone else in the hospital as he is really your doctor You can confide in him whether the matter is strictly medical or not Books to study or a personal matter. He will direct you to the right person to help you It is part of his duty and his professional standard to see you as an individual and not just as case number so-and-so Since everybody is different you are a special case to him just as you've always been to your family doctor For he too knows that getting well is a combination of meeting your personal problems as well as your physical health Yes, that friendly morning sick call isn't the end of award officer's day or of his interest But when he spots a special problem, he begins to hunt for the answer You are his patient and behind that blue uniform is the endless curiosity that makes a man a scientist That's why a good doctor means so much Just as your doctor at home might have the cooperation of other experts the rehabilitation officer often goes over your special case With the ward medical officers this shrapnel wound is now practically healed But has left weak muscles and a stiff joint it will need special exercise Even this early rehabilitation will begin in order to make that leg as good as ever And also you'll find if you haven't already that it starts early in the morning, too Yes, the modern treatment is to start exercises while you're still in bed The part of you that isn't injured will become weak So your doctor prescribes for you and the athletic specialist takes over your physical training Among the enthusiasts here are bud and Benny and Benny of course will have something to say about it Boy, this is the life Always wanted to take my exercises laying in bed. Why didn't a skipper ever let you do that? Oh skipper was all right. I Remember one time me in the skipper. Yeah, I know I know you and the skipper were just like that No, no wise guy not like that like this is the same early morning deal You got as a kid when the family doctor recommended exercise to help you recover from fever One day you'll get the good news that you can get up and the exercises are outside They get pretty rugged now for it is these workouts that bring a man back to the place where he can keep up with the best of them You may be injured or wounded you may have rheumatic fever or a tropical disease But whatever your trouble there will be a special department or ward in the hospital for you Regardless of cost This is a swimming pool designed for something more important than fun a part of the treatment that doctors call Physical therapy you learn to use the weak muscles again and bring back their vitality Massaging sets the life flowing back into affected muscles massage light Heat and water all of these are used on the prescription of your ward medical officer Light therapy and this is the Hubbard tank for another kind of water treatment This gym equipment will probably be more familiar to you. It is to rebuild weak muscles with special exercises As you see much of this equipment resembles familiar things like bicycles and things that we associate with having a good time But now they bring us something that means a great deal more They bring us a good time with a healthy body in the future years to come If he had this shoulder wheel built and now you build your shoulder muscles with it This device is called a finger ladder where you stretch the arm and shoulder muscles to help restore control to your arm and fingers The same man who was using the finger ladder He stayed with it so faithfully that he now can tie flies Which is very fancy work indeed if you've ever tried it For all of those physical therapy treatments are to restore the part of you that needs it and with your cooperation They will But there are other things to aid your recovery like occupational therapy Good morning. Good morning, miss This sure gives me what did the doctor send me down here for burns Contractor scar tissue. Well, that's what I'm trying to get rid of. Yes. I know John and we're going to help you Now here in occupational therapy will give you various jobs to do All requiring particular motions of your hand and help you regain the use of your hand. Let me see you make a fist That's as far as it'll go Here's a tool that will help you We've built up the handle of it so that you can grasp it Now as the scar tissue on the back of your hand stretches and you're able to get make a tighter fist Then we'll give you tools with smaller handles Say that's very good gadget What's that he's working on? He's modeling a duck in clay in order to use his hands and his mind There are some of our patients who become emotionally upset and that type of activity helps speed their recovery This patient can watch himself get well as he improves his leg muscles, then we can give him harder woods to saw The patients here on the loom are working for their shoulders arms and hands We'll start you out on lightweight metal first You could also do some of this work with a large handled file and one of the men has made a plastic cast for a patient with a broken shoulder The patients working in this shop are learning to do many things in cabinet making and carpentry Many a smart patient takes advantage of his time in the hospital to improve his education and train for a better job in the future Often officers who are receiving treatment themselves help out as instructors Just lying in bed can slow a man down mentally and if that happens you've got Hospitalitis and that brother is no joke What you need Jones is something to occupy your mind Something to do while you're lying here in bed But doctor I thought I was here to rest and get well you are But rest isn't rust Only part of you is injured The rest of you and that includes your mind must be exercised my mind. Thanks doctor Well, this is a real chance for you to finish your rate training course or to do whatever studying you've been putting off The educational services officer has any number of things you can do to keep you from getting rusty Looking at the ceiling doesn't help Keep busy with a purpose at whatever you're interested in Nothing means more than that advice keep busy with a purpose with something that you like and which interests you The educational services officer has been specially trained to give you a hand with your plans for education and Training for a job if you have an interest in radio or gas engines Practical work is right here, which will teach you the trade or brush up on what you may have forgotten about it If it's automobile or airplane maintenance work kits are provided and on a lot of other subjects, too There's bound to be one that may help you discover a talent that you didn't even know you had and The educational service has something to fit your particular case. Whatever is wrong with you Here's a kind of automatic quiz program called a rating machine It tests your knowledge of the Navy by asking you a question you choose an answer and it tells you whether you're right or wrong And it's a matter of record that nobody ever got 64 dollars out of one of these things Through the Armed Forces Institute, there are actually 6,877 correspondence courses if you began one in some other part of the world This is a chance to go on or start with a new one If you are still in the ward the rating course will be delivered right to your bed You can even practice art if you have a flair for the higher things in life like this mate from Jersey City So Michelangelo here gets the core wave to pose and being a woman. She can't resist having a picture made Chin just a little higher pleased to get that refined expression just right and Being a woman. She also demands to see if he got the eyelashes exactly as they should be So our modest artist obliges with a sample of his work. The guy's no genius. He's a seagoing wolf Seriously since high schools and colleges often give credit for work done in hospitals This may be your chance to pick up that diploma or learn a trade Navigation is the science of safe movement from Ankara to Albany from Zanzibar to Zanesville on the sea or in the air Here the secrets of navigation are taught and they're valuable to know But there are other things to aid your recovery Outside sports are a part of your prescribed physical Reconditioning Rehabilitation is much more than medicine and exercise and study now comes having a good time Which also has plenty to do with getting your mind off your trouble and your feet on the road to recovery It's human nature to practically knock yourself out of the game, but mention work and that's different Chief if I'm sure from D6 Dr. Swanson hands you down for light outside detail Chief I'm a patient here me work. What's the matter with work? We're not against it here Dr. Swanson sent you down here because you need some light outside work Help you get your sea legs. You keep your ship in shape.  Yes, and this is your ship right now That's right. The doctor wants you to limber up that shoulder. I think a little window washing will help that Okay, chief, but it's still work. She'll report the inside masterminds of us. Yes, sir This chore was specially picked because bud will use a rotary movement of the arm This is rehabilitation that helps him and incidentally helps the windows Outside work too is a sign for far better reasons than just to keep the hospital ship shape it means strength for your arms and for your shoulders it means new zest in every part of the body and Husky work rebuilds the endurance that was one of the things that helped you to recover Endurance so that a man can shoulder his own seabag when he returns to duty The Navy doesn't forget that liberty too is a part of getting well It is up to the doctor to decide when you're well enough for liberty and whether it will be good for you But with lesser injuries gets the word But Benny Disgusted with the world right now has to see that bus go off without him There's time allotted for the things that everybody likes traveling units movies and dances and for men who like to know What's going on in the world? War orientation Nobody has to remind you about what we're fighting for and that just because one part of the war has been taken care of there Are still jobs to do so you'll want to keep up to date Many a man with first-hand ideas of his own can come to these meetings to speak up about the war The ship or about almost anything that is what they're for It's not news to a family man that having the wife and kid visit him helps in getting well But when a man who's been sick goes out and tries to drink up the town It suddenly isn't funny at all Much of his recovery gone Then of course the Navy Chapel and the chaplain are there to take the place of your church back home The chaplain's office is always open to help you with your personal problems From your folks today. They're kind of worried about you. They haven't heard from you for a couple of months I know a chaplain. I haven't written. What's the trouble? Oh, I've been worried anything I can do to help I don't think it's in your line chaplain. You see it's about girls. I thought you had trouble afraid if I can help stop by my office Morning Bob has everything well not too good chaplain. My wife isn't well and we have some doctor bills Do you suppose the Navy relief could help us with the loan? I'm sure he could Bob Finally civilian organizations show a very real and sincere interest in helping you along the journey At times they certainly can add a touch of that certain something and very very nice Hey, Benny, you got a match? Here I got you. Hey look fellas. I got a right of letter. What do you mean you got a right of letter? We're going down the lake. I'll write you a letter later. Let's go rolling Well, look, this is really important. I'll see you later. Hello sailor say lady Yeah, would you write a letter for me? I don't generally do that sort of thing, but sure I'd be glad to Look at my pen Madam What's the name Benny Benny from Brooklyn? Well, buddy from Brooklyn to whom's it going huh? Who is it going to oh The shooley the shooley sh-h-i-r-l-e-y yeah, that's right shooley dear shooley This show is a swell joint. You were you mean it's a swell hospital, don't you? Yeah, I'm sorry. That's right hospital It certainly is beautiful here with weather all around you Well, they're all around you.  Okay, Francis. Hey Francis the moon picture. That's I well could have your autograph on a picture or tanks Yeah, put it in there for you. Oh, it's swell. There's the cigarettes and some matches gosh Say we're going down the lake. Would you like to go wrong with us? Not this week brother. I Got lost in flatbush once Bye now see you next week. Bye Cross that goes in wherever men no trouble does its job by providing many personal services To make your time at the hospital easier like furnishing transportation for trips off the grounds They are prepared to help you in your private affairs such as obtaining or passing on Information to people that you are concerned about Among many other things the gray ladies often write letters for seriously ill patients If your injury or illness brings you a survey into civilian life the Navy figures you'll need help there, too So the civilian re-adjustment office was set up for this the officer will explain your rights and benefits as a veteran You'll see to it that your claim for a pension is filled out right and sent to the Veterans Administration And he will give you every bit of assistance possible in arranging your affairs So here where we saw them first are the men with all this behind them They came in sick and injured and nervous and maybe a little scared Because they didn't know just what lay ahead of them But they all wanted to get well and so they did Some are headed back to duty some to civilian life But every one of them including Barton Benny now knows what that word rehabilitation means Well, it wasn't so bad here. I got no complaints complaints. There's a swell joint. I Mean hospital so enjoyed yourself up any are you kidding? tea and crumpets with a chief Rowan on the lake with Kay Francis what? Well, I'll be glad to get back to the ship anyway. I Remember me in the skipping on knock it off any knock it off. Sure You and the skipper were just like that. No No wise guy not like that Like that It means everything that the pride and respect and the tradition of the Navy Can do for men who have given their best and it means that the Navy values Nothing more than a man's health and his life and has sailed with him on the voyage to recover


The presidential campaign council of the Labour Party will officially begin its campaigns on Saturday, October 29, 2022, in Lafayette, a national state north-central of Nigeria. The PCC of the L.P. had shifted the initial flag off from October 20 due to the rampaging flood that affected 33 out of the 36 states of the Federation. A statement issued on Monday night by the chief spokesperson of the L.P. PCC, Dr. UNUSA TANCO confirmed the new date to journalists. TANCO called on L.P. support groups and supporters to make themselves available for a worthwhile campaign for the 2023 general elections.


horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty hyose silver, the lone ranger. In the years following the gold rush, many men in California rose to fabulous heights of wealth and power. One of these was Arnold Geerson, whose wealth reached out to develop the vast resources of the far west. Unlike the thousands of gold seekers, adventurers and parasites who sought to grab only what they could hold in their hands, Arnold Geerson was in the far west to stay. Geerson saw the growing influx of the disreputable element and knew that they could and would destroy what he and others like him had rested from this land of promise. He decided to strike at the heart, the infamous Barbaric Coast. In an effort to stamp out the viciousness, Geerson sought for and found the lone ranger. This masked rider of mystery, though reluctant to leave the plains and mountains of the cattle country, answered the call and soon found himself fighting a new type of criminal in the Barbaric Coast. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver, the lone ranger rides again. While Dan Reed was at school, he shared a room with his friend Bob Geerson. Many a happy hour was spent telling of the masked man's adventures before he came to California. I can tell from his letters, Bob. He'd be mighty glad to get back to the cattle country of the mountains. I wonder how Donald likes it in San Francisco. Donald wouldn't like a big city any better than the lone ranger. Neither would I. I'd give anything to be back in Texas. Instead of school? Yeah. The only reason I'm willing to stick here in school is because the lone ranger asked me to learn the stuff they teach here. The sooner I learn it, the sooner I'll be able to go back with him. Dan, the lone ranger's helping my dad clean up the Barbaric Coast. I didn't think it was safe for you to stay back there in San Francisco. I guess it's no more exciting though than some things that happen when we were back on the plains. For instance? Well, the time the lone ranger owned a haunted ranch. The lone ranger owned a haunted ranch? Yeah. Let's see. Where's the best place to start the story, Bob? You better start it mighty soon, Dan. It's after 7.30 and our study hour begins at 8. Start anywhere, but tell him about the haunted ranch. Well, the first the lone ranger and I knew about it was when we were in camp. Tutto should have joined us there at sundown, but it was about two hours after dark. That scared Tutto's horse. Kimusami! Me come.  Oh, golly. I thought something had happened to you. Oh, plenty happened. Anyone come here? No, Tutto. Me come long way around to hide trail to camp. Think maybe Lom and find camp and put you in jail too. In jail? Yeah. Dan will take care of your horse. Tell us about it. Me in town. Two father come and save me killer. A killer? Ah. Think me kill three men at Collins Ranch. Save me stranger in town. Ask plenty question, but me not answer. So they jailed you on no more evidence than that? That's right. How did you get out? That's pretty strange. Father come to Winder, jail. Him, young father. Him, say, him work at Collins Ranch. Did he give you his name? Ah, name Jeff Mason. Jeff Mason. Cowboy at the Collins Ranch. That's right. Him talking, soft voice. See him there to help. No, you ain't the killer, engine. But I also know that Sheriff Ryder's got to find someone to blame for the murders of my boss's bread. And you're the unlucky critter that's elected to hang. Well, why hang me? Because you, well, you don't have any friends. And it's likely no one would complain about flimsy evidence. Why not hang real murder? Sheriff not want to find real murder? I'll tell you why they can't hang the real killer of the three men. Why? Because they can't hang a ghost. They really think the ghost would kill those three men? Ah, him plenty serious. Him let me out of jail and say, ride long way and keep going. If lost, he taught her again, lost, shoot on sight. We'll pack up and head for the Collins Ranch. You know where ranch is. Yes, otherwise, we'll make it by sunup. I want to see the place where ghosts commit a murder. Sit yourself down, Sam. I'll have the taters done in a minute. I know as I got in the appetite for breakfast this morning. Sam Collins, are you going to believe all this idle chatter about our ranch being ghosted? What else could it be? Start eating. Jeff told you last evening that while he was in town yesterday, a red skin had been charged with the shootings. That's wrong. Sheriff Tucker's wrong too. He just wants to make an arrest. He knows blame well that no red skin could have shot the men without leaving tracks and with her own guns at that. Any rate you didn't do it. Whoever did it is sure bringing on my ruination. I won't be able to keep a cow hand here any price at this slaughter. Keeps up. Sam, I do declare you're as nervous as I am with new hatched chicks. Come in. Morning, Miss Collins. Oh, hello, Jeff. Howdy, boss. Mason, what's the latest? Ain't good. What do you mean? The latest is that Pete Loomis shot himself last night. What? Yep. The boys found him near the north line a little while ago. How do they know he shot himself? His own gun was fired and still in his hand. Wasn't tracks of anyone, man or horse outside the line fence. Oh, I don't know what to do. I reckon you better try and hire some new hands. Most of the boys are planning to leave here. Say the spreaders who, dude? Jeff, go talk to them.  Give us a chance to find the cause of what. I'll ask them. But I don't know if they'll stay. Madge, what are we going to do? Sell us. What? There's Sam at the back window. He's mad. My gun. Get my... Make it easy, Collins. Killer. Madge, run for Jeff. Catch him and get him to... Me, come in now. An Indian. Hey, there were the horses, Dad. There's a whole band of them. There are three of us, Collins. We aren't killers. That Indian. Jeff Mason said that... In front of who is in jail. Now listen to me for just a minute, Collins, and you'll have a choice. Choice? You can ask us to leave or invite us to stay. We'll do either one. You know Mustang Mag. Mustang Mag. I should say I do. So that we... She's one of our best friends. Hasn't... Hasn't she spoken of a man who wears a mask? Sam, she has. Do you remember at the last meeting of the Cattleman's Association? What? You don't mean that... Here's a bullet, Sam. A silver one. A silver bullet. And he does have a nice way of speaking. But what are you here for? I never yet found a true case of murder by a ghost, because I don't believe in ghosts. You are the Lone Ranger. You've got to be the Indian, a master... Close the door, Tutto. No one comes here until we finish talking. Collins, you've got to trust me. I know I've got to. I've got no choice. All the way. Why do you say that? You've got to trust me so far that you'll give me your wrench. What?  Well, I... Do what you think is best, Sam. Mustang Mag's often talked about you. Well, whatever you say, Collins. I'll do it. I've heard stories about the Lone Ranger. Plenty of stories. I'll do anything you say. Good. Then we'll draw up a paper at once. And I'll have to borrow some of your clothes. I put the horses in one of the sheds and gave all three of them a rub down to put in the time while the Lone Ranger went over his plans with Sam Collins. I was just about finished when I looked up and saw a man in the doorway. Hey, who are you? I didn't know Collins had hired new hands or kids to work his cowhands. I'm not working here yet. Whose horses are those? One is mine. The others belong to my friends. Gone good horse flesh. Gone good horse flesh. Come with me. Where? To the house. My name's Mason, Jeff Mason.  My friends are there with your boss right now. All right then. You can join them. A lot of things have been happening around here. Come on. We got to investigate all strangers. What's odd about that? Nothing. Why do you look at me that way? Who are you? My name's Dan Reed. Here we are. Hey, boss. I found a kid working in the shed. Well, Bob, when this man Mason and I entered the room, there sat Mr. Collins and his wife. Another man was there too. I knew who he was. It was the lone ranger. But he wasn't wearing a mask. No, he had disguised his face like I'd seen him do many times before when he had a good reason for doing it. When we opened the door, Mr. Collins said, Come in, Mason. This kid was in the shed with three new horses. Fine one.  I want you to hear the news. Well, what news? Shake hands with this man, Mr. Justice. Justice?  That's the name. I didn't see you come here. I guess you saw my horse. Yes. And this is your friend, huh? That's right. The kid said there was another man here. Oh, he's not in the room at the moment. Here, read this. Then you can go and tell the rest of the men about it. What's this? It tells a story, Mason. Sam's turned the ranch over to me. Hey, what? This says that Mr. Justice has bought the ranch lock, stock, and barrel. That's what it says. But, boss, why'd you sell it to him? Did you forget that Jeremy Loughran wanted to buy the place? No, I didn't forget that. I told Loughran I wouldn't sell. Yeah, but that was a month ago. Now, you've changed your mind. He'll be sore about this. Loughran didn't offer a fair price. Oh, I know, boss. And since we had our bad luck around here, he's been offering less than ever before. He's gonna be downright sore about this, Collins. That's too bad. But I'm a free man with the right to make any deal I want to make.  I'll tell them. Down with the south line, but I'll tell them. Maybe now they will quit. Oh, one thing more. Yeah? Tell the men that they'll be paid double as long as I'm the owner. But I don't think there'll be any more murders. All right. Well, that's that. Great work, Collins. Get up there. I just had a thought, Sam. Yes, ma'am. But their own ranger owns the ranch now or at least a man by the name of Justice owns it. If he should be killed before he turns it back to us, then wouldn't we lose our property? I'm going to take a lot of precautions to make sure nothing like that happens. But if it did... There would be a point for the law to settle. And I know Dan and Tonto would be on your side. Hey, where is Tonto? I thought he was here. He's waiting to follow Jeff Mason. Follow him? To see where he goes and whom he talks to. Oh. And if possible, find out why Jeff wanted him to escape from that jail last night. Tonto managed to find Rush or an Arroyo or something so he could stay close to Jeff Mason all the way to town. He was outside a window when Mason talked to Jeremy Larkin. So now it's sold, Larkin. All right, then. They think it'll be sold again. The ghosts can get the new on him. Larkin, you mean that? I do. He'll kill himself. Then maybe his heirs will sell at my price. I want that ranch. The curtain falls on the first act of our own ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue our story. Dan Reed was in school with Bob Gerson and telling his classmate about one of the Lone Rangers adventures in Texas. Well, Bob, it was early evening when Tonto came back to meet the Lone Ranger and me in the shed where we kept the horses. Hello. Did you follow Jeff Mason all the way to town? Ah, and him talked to a fellow named Jeremy Larkin. Yes? Larkin say, you died tonight. Oh, he did, huh?  If that happens, the cowboys here will be mighty disappointed. Accounting on that extra pay, I promise them. You talk to him? Yes, Tonto. I had a meeting while Mason was in town. They're good men, all of them. I can't blame them for wanting to get away from here. But they don't take stock in ghost stories, do they? And they're a superstitious lot of men. When things happen that they can't understand. Why, like the murders? Yes. Four men have been found dead. In each case, a man was near a line fence and he'd been shot with his own gun. There were no tracks to show that anyone had come to the fence from the other side. Uh, what do you do tonight? I'm going to ride the line fence and see what happens. I wish I could ride with you. Uh, me go. No, Tonto. I'm going to ride alone. I'm going to start right now. Oh, here come Jeff Mason. Let me get out of sight. Yes. I'm going to see you, Tonto. Not yet. Oh, boy, hold on. Hi there, Mr. Justice. Hello, Mason. I was in town this afternoon. I hear the sheriff made an arrest yesterday. Some Indian who was suspected of causing the deaths around here. You know, they were red-skinned. He escaped last night. We did. The sheriff says that's as good as proof that he's a killer. But he's mistaken. Mistaken? I'll tell you, Mr. There's something beyond human understanding in his back of these shootings. There is, huh? You bet there is. Something that makes the men shoot themselves. Well, maybe I can find out what it is. I don't think I'll shoot myself.  Why not? Well, it's dangerous. I can tell you that. Collins will tell you too. I'll have to take my chances. Is Collins going with you? No. How long will he stay on living here? Oh, I don't know, Mason. We haven't discussed his moving yet. Well, I'll have guards posted along the line, fans. I've done it before, but it didn't help none. But if you yell out enough, there might be somebody nearby to hear you. What about you? Would you be out on guard? I reckon so. I might see you later. Very well. Well, if it was me, I wouldn't do what you're doing, but I reckon you know what's best. Well, you might meet tonight. Yeah. Good luck to you. Get along there. Bob, there's one thing more you've got to remember. The Lone Ranger had a paper in his pocket that gave him title to the ranch. He was in his pocket, eh? Yeah. Didn't Tonnell ride with him that night? No. If Tonnell had, the whole thing might have been different. The Lone Ranger rode alone. I didn't know until some time later what happened. He was riding along the North Line fence on Silver, just walking slowly and hitting the line with a stick ever so often to be sure it wasn't broken. It was dark, pitch dark. Just as it had been on the nights when four men had been killed. Silver, old boy, there's a chance that every one of those other men was shot with his own gun. That's what we're counting on. I don't think they can make me do that. Just hope I can depend on certain men. Hey there! Oh boy, whoa, steady. Mr. Justice? That you, Mason? Yeah. I found nothing along the fence from the northeast corner. Yeah. You know, Mr. I was thinking. What's that? Do you have a will made out in case something should happen to you? I haven't thought much about a will. Well, everyone ought to have a will.  I suppose my heirs would be those who are closest to me. Why? Oh, I just wondered if that youngster was any relation to yours. He's probably as close to me as anyone. Uh, you ain't got any ideas about the ghosts, have you? There are no ghosts, Jeff. You should know that. That's right. They ain't no ghosts. Hand over your guns. What? You heard me pass them over, both of them. I happen to know you were too. What if I don't? I'll help myself. There. Mason, what's the idea? You still don't savvy? Yes, I guess I do. You're the killer. You're able to ride close to every one of the four men and take his guns. The way you did mine. Oh, you're smart. But why? You'll be found out and you'll hang. I'll take that chance. Mason, why are you doing this? Lord been willing to go this far to get Cullen's wrench.  I'll stay where I am. Suit yourself.  Where's here the shootin' tool? Get some light around here. Find something to burn. Where's Jeff Mason? Here I am. I got here just a minute ago. I was close by when I heard the shot. Stand back, Jeff, and let me see him. Why? It's Mr. Justice, the new owner. It's a great day. Well, how is he? Is he hit bad? You know what a bullet does at close range, Jeff? He's the same as the others. This makes five of them. Five men. Dog gone at all and they all got it the same way. Hank, you and the man pick them up. We'll tow them to the ranch house. Maybe someone better start down to get to town so the sheriff can be here first thing at daybreak. Well, the sheriff won't find no more than he did before. No tracks. No nothing. Well, me boys, I ain't staying here a double the pay or ten times the pay. Whatever it is that makes these men shoot themselves, we'll get us all if we stay around.  Now, boys, you take care of the body. All starts for town right away. Good idea, Jeff. Pitch the sheriff back with you. Yeah, I will. Get up there. Oh, Sam, don't think it had to happen to him, all people. And now, man, just you cry it out and you'll feel better. Morning. Oh, Miss Collins. Dan, Dan, you haven't heard. Heard? Lad, your friend was out riding a lion fence last night. Yeah? It happened to him. What did? Same as to the others. The boys brought him in and put him in the back bedroom until the sheriff in the corner could get here. Mr. Collins, you don't mean that the loan that my friend was shot. His own guns, found in his own hands, just as the other four men who were shot were found. I don't believe it. Oh, Lad, it's true enough. They brought him in a little while ago. Jeff Mason has gone for the sheriff in corner. I want to see him. We've got to leave him as he is till the law is done, Dan. The law be hanged. I'm going to see my friend. Where's the Indian? Town or that's right. He's with the horses. I've got to... Here's the law. Collins, I guess it's high time we ask you a few questions. Five murders on your ranch is five too many. Oh, I share. You don't think Sam had anything to say. He looked the Indian. Hey, you stand where you are. I'm going to come in, see what happened. You're the Red Skin we had in the jail. That's right. Oh, fix you.  Drop gun. Oh, sheriff. Never mind, Mason.  I'll handle things here. Me not draw gun. You've got a lot to explain, Red Skin. We already had your jail as a suspect on the first three deaths. The night you broke out, another man was killed. And now the new owner of this ranch. And here you are. Jeff, will you speak to him? Lauren, what are you doing here? Sheriff, I want to find out who inherits this ranch now that the new owner is dead. Who inherits it? Madge. Sheriff. Sheriff, no one gets it. It's our property. I reckon you're wrong there, Mrs. Collins. But I'm not wrong. Madge, honey, listen to me. But Sam will lose everything. It wasn't ever meant to. I reckon Mr. Loughlin is right, Collins. You sold the ranch to Mr. Justice.  Yes, but I... Now that he's dead, it goes to his heirs. That kid is the one nearest to him, Sheriff. I happen to know that because he told me so. Then I'll buy the place from you. What's your name? Now, hold on. This is a fine time to talk about that. Well, I guess you're right, Sonny. Here, you just stop in and see me and we'll make a deal. Now take the property off your hands at a fair price. Oh, Sam. Sam, say something. Do something. Hey, I've got to think things out, Madge. I don't know just where we stand. Maybe I can help to straighten it out, Collins. Me and the rest of the hands around here were all in on a deal. All in on a deal? Yeah. Maybe it was a kind of a funny deal down from the bottom of the deck, you might say. Do you know anything about these murders? I reckon so, Sheriff. What about them? The engine didn't have no part in them. Neither did no ghosts. Of course not. It's all right. I told him that everyone was here. Good enough. Now we can talk. You told whom? The gem that stacked the cards. You see, the engine didn't bust out of jail last night. He was let out. He was let out. And named the one that did it. I'll chug him. He was let out so as he wouldn't come to trial and be proved not guilty of the murders. If he cleared out of these parts, folks could blame the murders on him. Or maybe he's still the guilty one. Sheriff, because you didn't take any stock in the humbug about ghosts or hoodoo, that threw off the men that were back of the whole scheme. Meaning Lagren there. Really? What do you mean by that? You wanted this spread, Lagren. When Collins wouldn't sell, you figured to scare away all the cowhands so he couldn't run the ranch. And you could buy it cheap. Your dog on there got away with it. Sure, if he can make charges like that against me. I know about you wanting to buy the ranch, Lagren, but that doesn't mean anything. Of course not. When the Redskins turned out to be a friend of the Lone Ranger, he didn't run away and hide. He brought the Lone Ranger here. Hey, what kind of time you brought is this? The Lone Ranger ain't here and he never was. Hold on, Jeff Mason. He came to us and told us his plan while you were in town yesterday. He wanted to get you to show your hand, which you did. Oh, that's a lie. We all figured it was a pretty tall story when he first told us he thought you were the killer. And then when he showed that there'd be no harm done if we tried his scheme, we were willing to try. Every one of the boys that was on guard last night had taken the lead out of his cartridges, including Mr. Justice. What? You could have used the guns you took away from any one of us and it would have been the same. The cartridges had no lead in them. But you... That's why we crowded in close as soon as Mr. Justice went from his horse. We didn't want you to see that he wasn't hurt at all. No, you're just trying to trick me. I didn't have anything to do with it. And you tell that to me, Mason? Huh? Sam, there he is. Alive and well. Sheriff, Sheriff, that masked man... The last time you saw me, Mason, I had no mask. A war to disguise all myself, Mr. Justice. Oh, you can't prove anything against me. Who can't?  Three of us were less than 20 feet away in the dark last night when you took that masked man's guns and fired at him. Mason, you murderer. Each of us had a good cartridge under the hammer after we heard you start talking.  Mason, it's a finish for you. Now, why did you do it? You can't involve me. I had no part of it. Mason wanted to buy the ranch.  You're in this as deep as me. You told me I'd take your orders or you'd let Collins know I held out on the last cattle deal. Sure, if he lies, don't believe him. Take the two of them in. We'll see what a trial in court brings out. Now, we... All right, watch. Madge, we're not a hoodoo ranch anymore. Look at that paper. The one that sold the ranch. Sam, it's there on the table. Where's the Lone Ranger? He and his friends slipped out when they saw that Mason was fixed for the hangman. I saw him leave the paper there on the table so you could tear it up. The story you have just heard is a copyrighted feature of the Lone Ranger in...


Today I am reviewing Story of Seasons, Friends of Mineral Town. Thank you for the review code from Marvelous. Does this game play as Stodgy Valley?  This is a game that I absolutely adored on the Gameboy Advance, then named the Harvest Moon, Friends of Mineral Town. Yeah, there was a name change from Harvest Moon to Story of Seasons. So sometimes I just call it Harvest Moon Steel, but this game is now fully remade for the Switch. And I didn't see that coming. It is a farming live simulator game originally released in 2003 with a focus on making money, racing livestock, growing and selling crops and produce and racing your relationship levels with the villagers of the town. It is a relaxing and casual game for some people and for others it's a satisfying money-making game where you can build up your empire of real estates and workers, upgrading your small starter shack to a big mansion and fill it with expensive things. That is how I play this game. I have actually previously reviewed this game and I had forgotten all about that. So I rewatched my review and it is actually still holding up and it's still relevant. I'm leaving that old review in the top comment and in the description. That was actually one of my first reviews on this entire channel. So should you buy it or not? Let's find out and I will also tell you all the differences from the original to the remake later in the video. Story. You inherit an old beer farm and you love it. You decide to move there to start in your life and you've actually start out with very little. There isn't much to say about the story. It is more or less just set up to be the story that you want it to be.  There is, however, quite a bit of characters and backstories and village lore to dig up all around if you're looking for it, even with a library of books you can read and, more importantly, building up your friendship levels with everyone to trigger a bunch of character dialogue cutscenes.  You have Gray, who works at the Blacksmiths' place and has low self-esteem issues. And you have a bunch of different personalities such as the bubbly ingirl Ran, which previously was called Ann. That is one of the differences to this game. Some name changes all around. And the egg chick with the pink hair, Poppery. Whichever gender you choose to play as, in the beginning of the game, you now have the option to date and marry whichever bachelor or bachelorette you like. It's no longer restricted to being the opposite gender of what you chose and this is great news. Gameplay. In the start of the game, you can choose between simple and normal mode. And I recommend going with the simple mode.  That makes it easier to raise friendship levels. It takes a lot of time to raise friendship levels, even with the simple mode. So I can't imagine how the normal mode is gonna go like.  You start out with the hoe and the axe and the hammer, sight and the watering can. And they all do exactly what you think they are gonna do.  And you can ship that off to make money. It is pretty much like what you're expecting in that regard as well. And it is really good. You have the shipping bin, which is being emptied every day by a guy. That is the way of selling items in this game. Friends of Mineral Town also has great maps, the world map, very detailed. And it was also really good in the original. And I just enjoy this map. I don't know what it is, but on this map, you can also check all the opening hours of all the shops and facilities. You also have a super decent map over your field where you can have control over what crops you grew, where and where all your animals are at. All the shops in town has opening hours. And often I feel like they're always closed, but you can check the times on the map so that you don't travel all across town for no reason. In your house, you can save your game in the diary. You can sleep in your bed. Watch several TV shows on your TV or read your lists in the bookshelves, which are really good. I love these lists. They help you keep track of everything that you have shipped off all sorts of things. You can also store your items and even change your clothes. I enjoy that as well. That is new.   And you get these recipes from raising friendship levels with the villagers. And they will eventually give you a recipe for cooking. And this is actually something completionists can delve into. Since you can only complete the goddess list in your bookshelf by making all these recipes and offering the dishes to the harvest goddess in the pond. The game goes by the in-game calendar with the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. The calendar will also show you birthdays and festivals, because this town has a lot of them. Festivals. There are several name and character changes between the original and this remake. Like, for example, harvest sprites from the original are now called nature sprites. And I messed that up a lot. And another change is that the postman no longer looks like postman part. So about the nature sprites or harvest sprites, they are your workers. It is essential to befriend them. You know, every day bribe them with honey. They love honey. They're sucker for honey. And when you are befriending them high enough, they will help you out in the fields, help you out with your livestock and watering crops and harvesting crops. And so convenient. Every farming game should have slaves like this, but they work for you. You give them payment through honey as I do and they love it. The way that I do it is that I have actually color coded them so that I use the red and orange nature sprites as animal helpers. And I use the yellow and green for harvesting crops and I use blue, purple and teal for watering. Because they level up within these things. So I found a really cool way to just know which nature sprite is working with what, if that makes sense.  This time, I am going with a blacksmith guy. Not that guy, but the boy.  And you can replenish said stamina by chilling in the hot springs, for example, or just simply going to sleep. You can also collect these power berries. You get some of them from festivals. One of them you can buy from the store and I don't remember the rest, but I found like four of them. And that will increase your total stamina. The menus are decent with all the info that you need. You can also check things like how much you have shipped off, how many days your sprites are going to help you, and your tool level summary. You can upgrade your tools at the blacksmith if you have leveled them up enough and also have the required mineral. These minerals can be found in the mines. And the mines works like this. You can break rocks and use your hole to find the stairway to descend a level. And you descend endlessly down. Sort of endlessly down. And the further down you get into the mine, the rarer minerals you're gonna find. When it comes to animals, you can have chicken, rabbits, cows, alpacas, and the new cows such as fruit cow, coffee cow and strawberry cow. Oh and sheep. Yeah, sheep too. However, you also get a horse in the beginning of this game, but I gotta tell you this. Don't freak out if the previous horse owner comes and collects your horse back. You're most likely not gonna raise the friendship level high enough to keep your horse the first year, but don't worry, you get several other chances down the road. So I freaked out. And of course, you can name all your animals. I love it. Also, the gameplay requires a lot of grinding for lumber and stone. Every day, I never go to bed without having spent all my stamina on nearby lumber and stone grinding. This game looks good. It has nice colors and it's so weird to see an older game that I'm used to from Gameboy Advance and Remade. It's... But you can somehow feel that this is a Gameboy Advance remake from how the town and world designed is and you know, how everything is set up. You can kind of feel that and the world isn't very big, but it is staying pretty much true to the original. However, I have to say I like and prefer the original character designs from the original game. The pictures that appear when you're talking with them. I prefer the older ones. This time all characters has a chibi style in the graphics, which is fine. I don't mind chibi style. And it also seems like they have made the top and the bottom of the screen a bit blurry to make it more like pretty. And it looks pretty. There is one place in this game where you will be experiencing big frame drops and that is by Kappa's lake around the bamboo trees. Really big frame drops. But that is the only place in the game that I've found out. There are many details to be found each season. Like for example, in winter there are snowmen and lights in the streets. Music. Some of the music is really nice. Like this one. And some of the music simply drives me insane. Like this one. But I love how the sound effects are close to the original sound effects. This game has no voice acting. And to be honest, I feel like the music could have been better. Verdict. What? It is a very good farming RPG. I am addicted. And the most important thing of a game in this genre is the feel and pacing of it. And that you find yourself constantly planning ahead of what to do next because there's always something to do and look forward to and improve on and upgrade. Giving gifts and leveling up friendship levels gets tiresome and repetitive. I gotta say. That is also why I highly recommend Simple Mode because I'm giving gifts to everyone every day for almost one entire year. And they still don't completely love me. Anyways, this is a super chill game. And you will find exactly what you are looking for here in Story of Seasons, Friends of Mineral Town. This game is an 8 out of 10. Because it does the farming genre well. It is executed well. You constantly feel that good feeling. I have played bad farming games. So I have played a lot of farming games. But I can say that this one. That's why I'm saying it is Isha Gaming Approved. Thank you so much for watching. Hit like on the video. And if you leave a comment, I'm trying to respond to every comment. I will see you later.


Hi everyone. Good morning. We're here from DQIT to present Partners Employability, which is a student staff collaboration to develop award to recognise the skills developed by active student engagement. My name is Brea McGuire. I'm the president of the Students Union. My colleagues here today are Linda Murphy, who's head of student services. Dr Muir McGuire, who is the centre of learning and teaching, and Catherine Staunton from the Careers and Employability Office. Let me give you an overview of the project. This project is a collaboration between staff and students who, right from the offset, will work together to develop a framework. This is a step on the partnership road where students will be co-creators right from the very start. We'll establish structures and process to support student engagement, highlight and develop key graduate attributes and the empowerment of students. The principle offset of this is a special purpose award, which I think is a 10 credit purpose award. We have students who are very, very active in the life of DQIT. We have a very active volunteer society. We have student ambassadors who are trained to take new students around campus. They help out at Careers Day, Open Days, events. We have science and sports students who engage with the wider community through various projects, visiting schools or having schools come in, doing showcase and exhibitions. We have students who conceive, set up and run societies, who manage societies, whether it's the treasurer, the chairperson, the secretary, who are actively involved in promoting sports clubs and societies throughout. Through the SU ourselves, we train our class reps in how to better represent their classes. That's anything from effective communication skills to presentation skills to professionalism in how to deal with peers and lecturers service providers. Through, we also have an SU crew that students who engage, promote and showcase the events in different campaigns that the Students Union run. All of these students are developing skills employers are looking for. The development leadership, problem solving, empathy, teamwork and effective communication. Our project is about empowering these students to recognise and evidence the skills and give them the recognition in a special purpose award. So the rationale for the project. So how can we support and recognise this engagement? We need structures and processes that foster engagement and partnership. So dialogue has already opened with our class reps and feedback has been currently received by them on the award about us all working together to create this project. So far they've been incredibly positive and asking an awful lot of questions. So that's kind of working in our favour that they're actively giving an awful lot of thought to what we're proposing and an awful lot of thought to the value to it and also to working together. So they're putting the mechanisms in place. So through this project, students and staff will come together and create the framework. It's putting the skills students have already learned into a real world context. It's exploring their future role as professionals, while also improving their self confidence. Students are open. Actually, indeed, students are excited about this prospect of becoming partnerships partners and working together on this. My own experience as a student officer has been as a class rep for three years. I also set up a society and I was chairperson of the mature student society and I've also worked on different working groups and steering committees. So I can kind of see the value that this project has. So I'm going to pass you on to Linda. Thank you. So I'm just going to look at what the project will deliver. And as mentioned in our overview, staff and students will work in partnership to develop a framework for recognizing and evidencing student engagement, particularly in terms of employability. And the complete project will be underpinned by significant professional development amongst all of the partners in the project. There will be three main deliverables from the project. The principal outcome of the project being a Validated Special Purpose Award, 10 credits at level 7. This will be supported by processes and procedures to develop a system for recording student engagement and also then resources and activities to support the delivery of the award. So what success will look like in the short term, we propose to have the Validated Special Purpose Award for a targeted group for the first term, a piloted group particularly for students' course representatives and then for members of our volunteer in society. The medium term then we look at extending that and having more students registered on the program. In the longer term then, students will be better equipped to engage in our institute's quality assurance processes. The project will also have the positive impact on skills which will be evidenced by students in the portfolios presented to employers. And we hope that then again that will lead to positive feedback from employers. So I'm going to hand you over to Moira now to talk us through how we plan to action the project. Thanks Linda. So how will we go about it? The initial step will be to set up the governance of the project, set up the steering group and start to identify our needs and priorities. We've already identified a need to build capacity in key areas which I'll talk about in a moment but that's very much part of the early stage of the project. So it's professional development really for all of us involved to enable us to design the program, design the supporting processes and also to design the resources that will enable us to deliver it. The next stage would be to validate the program then to launch the program, to run and evaluate the pilot. At each stage this is going to be underpinned by ongoing consultation with all our stakeholders and by ongoing promotion and awareness raising with respect to the initiative. In terms of capacity, the areas we've identified where we need to build capacity are partnership, working in partnership. The students union will lead on that strand and will implement and coordinate all that activity. We need to build capacity and curriculum design among all partners and the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching will implement and coordinate that and we need to build capacity in all our understanding of employment and employability and student services is going to take the lead on that. So that will help us to come together to have really a shared vision of where we're going with this and a framework for developing the program. The specific work packages are the actual design of the programs, the learning outcomes and so on, content assessment. The resources that will support that including Moodle page, that's our VLE workshops. The processes, very important would be the recording of student engagement activity. We have processes in some areas to do this but we need to scale it up considerably, make sure they talk to each other. There's quite a bit of work to do there and then the procedural and the program set up the administrative side of that work as well. Throughout this will be informed and guided by iterative consultation with all our stakeholders. We were asked now feedback to clarify the involvement of students and students are full partners in this project. So at the governance level the Student Union is a full partner, the Student Union President is a full partner in the project, is a key member of the steering group. In terms of development the Student Union is going to lead in the capacity building side in terms of partnership and we're going to have extensive consultation with class representatives in the development phase and that has already begun as Maria mentioned. In terms of the program design, we want this to be collaborative and that's what a lot of the capacity building is about. So students will be involved in the curriculum design. All the underpinning processes will be agreed through consultation with class representatives. One of the parts I'm most excited about is that we are planning to employ students over the summer to work with us on developing some of the learning resources to deliver the program which will be very exciting from our point of view. In terms of then the implementation the class reps and student ambassadors will be very active in the program promotion throughout and will be the Student Union will continue to be active in the management and promotion of the program and again there'll be ongoing consultation throughout. I'm just going to hand over now to Catherine just to tell you a little bit about the impact. Okay so just to summarise on the impact and I suppose how we're going to measure that impact of the project, I suppose we've identified five main areas that we see the impact focusing on. First in the area of reach, engaging with the staff, the students, the USI, every involved in engaging within that. I'm measuring that through the engagement with the consultations and the uptake of students in the actual project itself, the program launch and ongoing workshops and presentations throughout. The second area is the area of the team itself and building that capacity as my colleagues have talked about, to be able to collaborate well in a sustainable way in a framework which involves everybody and I suppose setting up a model on how to do that. Cross-institution, not siloed, but everybody's involved from student, academic and careers and employers as well and that would be an area close to me and reflecting each of us on that and sharing our learning as that develops. Then I suppose key is that the learning and the learners, the student themselves, their engagement with the process and connecting with students and understanding that they know what they know, that they can apply and articulate what they know and they can adapt to that for the workplace and getting the student feedback on the program and how relevant it has been for them and the employers and the impact that they see having a direct feedback on in terms of either placement or going on to graduate opportunities. The next area and I suppose this is really key for us in the project is the whole idea of organisational practices and systems, that this is a framework, a model that will be sustainable to ensure greater partnership in working with students as opposed to just giving it a sort of lip service to it that is actually embedded within how we do our work and that it does recognise the valid and vital contribution of students to the life of DKIT as a community, as a place of learning and as a place of engaging with employers and their feedback and their participation is going to be a way in which their involvement is going to ensure that they are involved in the quality assurance processes within curriculum development as a whole and a model to support that going forward. Nurturing and recognising active citizenship as mentioned already, that this will hopefully act as an advocate for year on year that more people and students will be involved and academics and the whole student and staff body will be actively involved in ensuring that active citizenship has a key role within the institute and that we have quality partnerships that we are able to build on the existing partnerships that are working very successfully and grow with the community voluntary and industry networks and then that final area of culture of enhancement that this is something that is embedded within how we do our work in DKIT, that that is a model of partnership that can be extended to other areas and that contributes ultimately to the partnership and I suppose how we would measure that would be the response of students and staff to the initiative and any outputs in terms of publications, workshops that we can I suppose move forward on. So I think that the focus then on sustainability, I suppose key to the institute in developing this is that there is something that has legs that can stand on its own after the initial setup. Resources are required to develop this framework to have something robust, something that can withstand the ebb and flow of these types of projects so that we have good systems in place and supporting processes but beyond this it will be managed and maintained and sustained by the staff of the institute and the students and thereafter will become integrated into how we do our work and sustained by the staff and the resourcing that exists already. So really the initial outlay is where we're going to bed down the solid foundation and then on ongoing basis it will be up to all of us involved in the partnerships to continue to build awareness and promote the program among all stakeholders involved. Okay, so thanks very much for your time.
