Andhadhun: Suspense and Character Subjectivity
26th January 2019 27th July 2019 By MK Raghavendra Film Reviews 0 Comments
Among the various characteristics of Hindi popular cinema noted by film scholars and theorists, one that is of importance is that it is indifferent to the attractions of suspense and surprise and that it favours the familiar rather than novelty. How things will happen is more important than what will happen (1), which will be familiar. This comes to the fore in Andhadhun, one of the best Indian films of 2018. Indian films, ever since DG Phalke, borrowed from the theatre and, rather than be realistic in the documentary/Lumiere sense, tried to make 'real' traditional belief, which was seen to transcend sensual perception (2). Phalke insisted that his mythological films were 'realistic' in the sense that they were bringing known 'truths' alive.
Sriram Raghavan, one of the more inventive film directors in Bollywood is, judging from his films, also a cinephile who knows world cinema well and he does not hesitate to drawn inspiration from it, although he always has something to add. His last offering Andhadhun owes in a small way to a short film L'accordeur (2010) from France, which runs to less than 15 minutes. Using motifs from international films is not an easy task since each film has to be Indianized, which does not mean only adapting to a different milieu, but also using a different grammar. In L'accordeur ('The Piano Tuner') a piano tuner who makes himself temporarily blind to sensitize himself to sounds, is witness to a murder; the perpetrators are clients who believe he is blind and conceal nothing from his gaze. In Andhadhun, Raghavan uses the same motif as the basis of his film and it is a difficult device to adapt to Indian cinema.
Indian films hardly succeed as suspense thrillers, and the reason is that most stories are related using the omniscient eye . Fiction films of the world use three elements that combine to produce 'cinema' – objective reality, authorial subjectivity, which is in the nature of distortions to demarcate the real from the director's subjective take on it, i.e.: the exercising of his or her powers of expression. Lastly, there is the notion of character subjectivity and this is the element needed to be used in abundance to create suspense. Suspense depends on knowledge of events being held by some and not by others. The spectator is in the position of someone from whom elements of information are withheld and the viewpoint of the film corresponds to that of a person with partial knowledge. If one studies Hitchcock's film Rear Window (1954), for instance, the camera takes the protagonist's viewpoint; it is what he cannot see of what is going on in another apartment that creates the suspense.
Indian films are all-seeing – in that they try to show all happenings 'as they are' – rather than as perceived by the filmmaker (authorial subjectivity) or by characters in the story (character subjectivity); to my only Adoor Gopalakrishnan in Anantaram (1987) has ever used character subjectivity as an element , although this was not to create suspense but to understand what imprints itself upon a person in his or her life. There have been good thrillers like Nihalani's Aakrosh (1980) and Dhrishyam (2015) in which the truth is revealed at the end through a flashback, but this is simply the concealing of facts; our viewpoint is not restricted to that of a chosen character or characters. In Rear Window, it should be noted, what is underway is being speculated upon even as it is happening in the opposite apartment; it is not sprung to the spectator as something not suspected.
Why Indian films are omniscient in perspective is not easy to explain but my view is that it lies in the notion of transcendental truths in which people have more faith than in the evidence of the senses, judged to be ephemeral; this is perhaps why most films have eternal messages to relate, usually from the epics or traditional wisdom. To illustrate, the notion that one's parents are to be worshipped is not 'subjective truth' from an author; it is believed to be eternally valid. Even art cinema has 'eternal messages' to relate, although these could be from social texts (like those written by Marx) instead of tradition and the epics – messages like the dishonesty of the powerful and working class solidarity.
Coming to Andhadhun, the film is based on the protagonist, also a pianist pretending to be blind, getting only a partial view of what has transpired but having to act on it. If Sriram Raghavan had developed the idea into a suspense film, he would have been true to it – i.e.: the central dilemma would have been how the protagonist would have reported seeing a corpse in an apartment and still carry on his pretence at being blind, assuming that has its own benefits. When I commenced to view the film I was quite excited by how it might proceed since there is another partial witness who also has evidence about who came and who left the apartment, and when. Would the protagonist and this woman make contact, I wondered, and how would two partial views of an event, neither witness was certain of, be stitched together to constitute a comprehensive truth they might not suspect? As it stood, the film might even have gone the way of Antonioni's Blow-Up (1966), where a photographer takes a picture casually in a park and, when he develops it, finds a corpse his eyes had not seen.
But then, Andhadhun is a Bollywood film made for a public unaccustomed to the notion of subjective viewpoints rather than messages. What Raghavan does is to turn the film into a comedy – no doubt successful on its own terms. He introduces another motif, a shadowy group stealing body parts for huge sums of money. Rather than being a suspense thriller Andhadhun becomes what Hollywood might have termed 'screwball comedy' – a genre more compatible with Bollywood than the suspense thriller.

The Bollywood icon Sridevi passed away on February 24, on Dubai all of a sudden. Her untimely demise leaves the nation grief-stricken. Sridevi, the first female superstar of India mesmerized the audiences of Hindi, Tamil, Telegu and Kannada movies for 5 long decades. She achieved the feat no other actress did with her spontaneous comic timing, unmatched dancing skill and brilliant acting. She worked more than 300 movies which itself an achievement. Though we have seen Sridevi from child artist to the role of a powerful MOM; there are some interesting facts about the actress which you would love to know.
Shahrukh Khan's Zero will be the last film where she would be seen. She will be seen making a cameo as herself on a song which would feature Alia Bhatt and Karishma Kapoor too.
She was offered a role in Steven Spielberg's cult movie Jurassic Park. But she turned down the role as it was not meatier for her skill and she was too busy in her Bollywood projects.
Her real name was not Sridevi. She was born as Shree Amma Yanger Ayyapan. Though she spelled herself as Sreedevi, but never corrected anyone. After her marriage, she changed her name as Sreedevi Boney Kapoor Ayyappan on the passport.
She was not proficient in Hindi earlier. Rekha dubbed for her in Akhree Raasta. Actress Naaz also dubbed her. From Chandni, she started her own dubbing in Hindi.
The fate of many actresses changed for Sridevi. She rejected Beta which gave Madhuri Dixit the iconic image. She was the first choice as K-K-Kiran in Darr, but she also rejected the movie as there was nothing new for her. Abbas Mastan's Baazigar was also offered her first.
Before starting her career as the leading lady, she played the stepmother of Rajnikanth in Moondru Mudichu (Tamil, 1976) at the age of 13 only.
Throughout her career, she played the leading lady of different heroes. Her most successful Jodi was with brother in law Anil Kapoor. They did 13 films together including Mr. India, Lamhe, Laadla, Judaai. Her pairing with Jeetendra was also quite popular;, especially for their quirky dance moves. In Tamil, she did most numbers of movies with veteran Kamal Hassan.
She was the sole earner of her family. She single-handedly supported her mother, sister, step father and step brother financially. She started her acting career at the age of 4 in M.A. Thirumugham's Thunaivan (1969). She was also a child artist in 1975 hit movie Julie. Her Hindi debut movie as a heroine is Solva Saavan.
The beautiful actress had many other qualities. She can speak many languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telegu and English fluently. She also did playback for few movies like Chandni, Sadma, Garajna and Kshana Kshanam.

I attended this surprisingly superb performance by Thurston Moore and Mats Gustafsson at Strand this friday. They kept it inspiring and noisy during almost an hour. New album soon? The contrast to Magnus Granberg's opening set was vast but refreshing. Magnus has a unique sound and style with a lot of integrity.

Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business which could lead to business being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't crucial to understand how the procedure works in and of itself, but it's fundamentally important to understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them now where Governments and banks can just choose to print endless numbers (I am not saying they're doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is now the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the appropriate area at the right time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these businesses decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these problems are worked out.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any centered business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted promoter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current inherent problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. You've probably noticed this often times where you typically spread the good word about crypto. "It's not erratic? What happens when the price crashes? " So far, many POS programs offers free conversion of fiat, relieving some problem, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most of the people will be resistant to hold any. We need to discover a way to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. Many individuals choose to use a currency deflation, especially those who need to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Monetary privacy, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; in case you are living pay check to pay check, it'd take place included in your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies. When searching on the web forCounterparty Mining Software Laptop, there are many things to think about.
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Counterparty Mining Software Laptop. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers claim that there's "actual" worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some sort of benefit in order to ensure the shortage. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which is among the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions dwells.
The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be just that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. It's also possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its consequences, expecting any developments to act. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have much greater potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, predicated on the number of "shares" won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it's worth noting that the applications settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter route. This option also creates a stable stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the benefit. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the method in which it's transacted. All deals over a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. Once youare paid, you get paid. This is not something short-term wherever your web visitors could dispute or need a discounts, or use unethical sleight of hand. Used, many merchants will be smart to work with a fee processor, because of the irreversible nature of crypto-currency deals, you must ensure that security is difficult. With any form of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your private secrets and therefore grab your money. However, you almost certainly will never get it back. It's quite crucial for you yourself to follow some great secure and safe methods when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing this may guard you from all of these unfavorable events. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's nothing more than a representation of worth, but there's no genuine tangible sort of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. In the case of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it may actually be dealt as a thing. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say that this sort of online cash isn't controlled by way of a key bank system and is not thus subject to the whims of its inflation. Since there are always a minimal amount of products, this moneyis value is dependant on market forces, allowing owners to business over cryptocurrency transactions. If you are looking for Counterparty Mining Software Laptop, look no further than BITCOIN.
Since one of the oldest forms of making money is in cash financing, it really is a fact you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites currently focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you're needed fill in a captcha after a specific time frame and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. It is possible to visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a fair investment strategy. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and validate these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to bring in transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also get involved in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence that the transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. As such, it truly is more resistant to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy risks. Security and seclusion can easily be achieved by simply being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't put your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession from your wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the variety of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer could not purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is just not to suggest that markets are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there's no need for large amounts of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The merest occasions on the planet market can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.

Q: Can I stop the for loop from continuing on the last index of the array I am iterating over? I made a code for the "piling up challenge" on Hackerrank and it is supposed to iterate through a list and check whether the elements of the list are in descending order.
    for i in range(1, len(l)):
            if l[i - 1] < l[i]:
                print('No')
                break

           else:
                print('Yes')
                continue

However, with the else statement, if the list is correctly sorted in descending order, it will repeatedly print 'yes' for every iteration in the loop. Is it possible to just print a single 'yes' on the very last iteration of the loop if all elements meet the condition? Thanks!!!

A: This is a great use of the less well-known for: else: construct:
for i in range(1, len(l)):
    if l[i - 1] < l[i]:
        print('No')
        break
else:
    print('Yes')

The else: paired with the for: only executes if the loop completes successfully. See the documentation for some more detail.

A: Assume that all the elements are sorted. Then try to find one example abolish this thesis.
You can use a variable defining sorted order, then assign correct value through loop. This way there will be no need to log 'yes' every time.
sorted_order = True
for i in range(1, len(l)):
  if l[i - 1] < l[i]:
    print('index '+ (i-1) +' and '+ i +' are in incorrect order')
    sorted_order = False
    break

if sorted_order:
   print('true')
else
   print('false')

A: You can use else after for loop, if the loop is not jumped out by the break statement, it will execute after the loop:
for i in range(1, len(l)):
    if l[i - 1] < l[i]:
        print('No')
        break
else:
    print('Yes')

But some people may not like this way. I prefer to use any:
if any(l[i - 1] < l[i] for i in range(1, len(l))):
    print('No')
else:
    print('Yes')

It's more Pythonic to cooperate with pairwise (in Python3.10):
from itertools import pairwise

if any(i < j for i, j in pairwise(l)):
    print('No')
else:
    print('Yes')

Faster way:
from operator import lt
from itertools import starmap, pairwise

if any(starmap(lt, pairwise(l))):
    print('No')
else:
    print('Yes')

A: This is how I would do it. By having a function you can use multiple data. This code is also faster by at least 50%.
def is_sorted_better(x):
    # If a single item is larger than the last item, then you return 'no'
    if any(x[i - 1] < x[i] for i in range(1, len(x))):
        # You can add any extra lines for if it isn't in order here
        return 'no'
    # if all items have been checked and there are no issues, return yes
    # You can place additional code here like 'sorted_order = True'
    return 'yes'

Code with no comments here:
def is_sorted_better(x):
    if any(x[i - 1] < x[i] for i in range(1, len(x))):
        return 'no'
    return 'yes'

Olympics: Technical difficulties, please stand by.
So I took the night off last night. Missed ShawnJohn's Olympic gold, missed my little lucky leprechaun Horton's silver moment. Apparently missed a bunch of cute, nearly naked boys doing the diving thang.
Platform diving FREAKS ME OUT. So terrified that someone's going to bonk their head on the platform. In fact, only four years ago, American diver Haley Ishimatsu apparently had the good sense to be frightened of the platform, and to refuse to go off it. But then someone brainwashed her or drugged her or maybe replaced her with a cyborg, because here she is, hurling herself off a three-story-tall platform. Fool.
Lara Wilkerson tells some inspiring story about Mary Lou Retton, broken foot, Athens games, coming back from behind, blah blah blah…INSPIRATION! Question: why does everyone name check Mary Lou? Mary Lou = Olympic Dreams!
Also, the announcers? Totally obsessed with the audience using their flashes while taking pictures of the divers. The Americans manage to advance in this semifinal round. Yay.
Hey! Track and field! Some people run.
Howie Mandell can promise me that someone is going to win a million dollars on his stupid show all he wants, doesn't mean I'm going to watch.
So, now that all he gymnastics' medals have been distributed (and, if you were wondering, YES, I'M STILL ANGRY) now we have something called the "Gymnastics Gala," which is apparently kinda like a summer camp talent show–a way to fill the time until we can all go home.
Oh! With the wacky! The Chinese gymnast pretends the pommel horse is a horse! Get it? GET IT?!
But? The best part? Is when the announcers 1. explain the joke and 2. go on to say that they didn't realize that the miming slapping a horse on its hind quarters translates into Chinese. HEY. ANNOUNCERS. GUESS WHAT? Horses have been domesticated in Asia since around at least 2000 B.C., so SHUT IT WITH THE STUPIDITY ALREADY, AND QUIT MAKING ME SHOUTY.
Ugh. It's going to be a long night, folks.
Our Butter Queen, ShawnJohn, does her gold-worthy balance beam routine which simply lacks the excitement when it doesn't actually count. But, you know, YAY, SHAWNJOHN.
OK, so then? I'm watching Nastia? Dance around the beam? WHEN MY PUPPY JUMPS ON THE REMOTE AND CHANGES THE CHANNEL. Now, this? Wouldn't be a big deal if A. I were watching it live or B. I was taping this, but HA HA, guess what? I'm not.
And just as I'm about to settle into a long boring night of women's volleyball, the TiFaux acts up: apparently I am recording both Project Runway and Ghost Hunters International (don't judge me) and have no time for Olympics. Some readjustments and here are our bikinied girls struggling against the Chinese in the pouring rain. It's a tight match, but our girls Misty May and Kerri win the gold, and despite Mr. T's expressed hopes, do not rip off their tops in victory, a la Brandi Chastain.
OH NOES! And finally they interview the poor diver Haley Ishimatsu? The one who was originally terrified of the terrifying platform? She doesn't make it to the finals, and they interview the poor thing and shove cameras in her face and she's crying and NOW I'M CRYING and HEY! NBC! LEAVE HER ALONE. Dang. All that business of getting over her fear of the platform for a whole lot of nothing. Poor girl. Haley and I need a hug.
But WAIT! THEN? They have this piece about the South African Open Water women's swimmer? The one MISSING A LEG? AND I'M CRYING?!
BUT WAIT! NBC finishes with the story of the German weightlifter who managed to lift 568 lbs to win the gold. But then? The German ? During the medal ceremony, held up the picture of his wife who died in a car accident last year.
Well, that's just about enough, NBC. I'm experiencing technical difficulties and must go to bed. And cry myself to sleep. Thanks and goodnight.


When bloggers assert that a site for social or personal reasons or even to build an income, then there are.

There are a couple facets that the operator should consider before selecting an underlying reason.
Above all a operator should choose a concern for which they're ready to execute a lot of research or to which they're already quite knowledgeable. As your operator should post entries on an everyday 15, That is important. These entries ought to really be enlightening and accurate .

Earlier this year Professor Megan Marlatt from the University of Virginia McIntire Department of Art began work with her students to create a jumbo outdoor mural titled "Hello Pluto, Good-bye Kitty" based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Black Cat". The mural design covered a large suburban parking lot.
From street level, viewers see small cats painted on the parking lot.
But when we gain the larger view by lofting a camera attached to a helium balloon several hundred feet into the air we get our first views of the entire work in progress.
"'Hello Pluto, Good-bye Kitty" was off to a fine start but much work was still to be done.
When Professor Marlatt and her students completed their work a few weeks later we returned with our aerial photography rig to document the finished product.
This project illustrates some of the benefits of do it yourself aerial photography. With a small investment of equipment and time we collected high resolution imagery to document change over time for a discrete study area. We see applications for these techniques across many academic disciplines. So we're working now to fine-tune our approaches while we collaborate with faculty and students.
Contact us in the Scholars' Lab to chat about how your work can benefit from do it yourself aerial photography.

« Mysterious Gleaming Gold | Main | Where To Look For Placers »
History Of Montana's Cedar Creek Mining District
The Cedar Creek Mining District, known primarily for its placer deposits, encompasses Cedar, Quartz and Trout Creeks, rising near the crest of the northward extension of the Bitterroot Mountain range. The creeks flow northeastward to enter the Clark Fork River above Superior (Sahinen 1935).
The placers were first claimed in 1869 by French Canadian Louis A. Barrette, and have seen continuous production since then. By 1935 the district had yielded at least $2,000,000 in gold and perhaps as much as $10,000,000. Annual output between 1869 and 1935 ranges from $1,000 to $50,000, with recovery primarily through sluicing and hydraulicking. A connected-bucket dredge was reported to have operated in 1912, and some shaft, drift and limited lode mining has been done. The gold was transported from Superior, a station on the Northern Pacific and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroads (Rowe 1911; Sahinen 1935).
The gold recovered from the placers was considered to be exceptionally rich, ranging from $19.75 to $20.45 with a standard price of $20.67 per ounce. In 1875 it was reported that the various drifts were yielding as high as $300 to a set of timber, and that about $50,000 in gold was recovered each year from 1871 to 1873. The fineness was reported as ranging from .950 to .982 (Sahinen 1935; Lyden 1948).
Each of the creeks has several notable tributaries for which some information is available. Oregon Gulch and Snowshoe Gulch have both been significant producers along Cedar Creek. In 1875, one company on Snowshoe Gulch grossed $9,200 in 10 weeks with nine men. The net profit for the owners was $4,600, with an additional two to three thousand dollars stolen from the sluices. Windfall Creek, a tributary of Trout Creek, is considered to be the largest producer of placer gold in the district. The "Miller Ground" claim on Windfall Creek was reported to have yielded gold valued at $150,000 by 1919. Tucker Gulch is an important tributary of Quartz Creek, although production along Quartz Creek probably did not exceed $100,000 (Lyden 1948).
The initial rush on Cedar Creek, especially on Oregon Gulch was so great that a hundred miners staked out 200 claims within six months of the initial discoveries in 1869. Mining camps arose and were abandoned quickly as the focus of placering shifted around the district. The population of the district rose upwards of 10,000 by some estimates. In 1870, Forest City, on Cedar Creek itself, reached a population of 7,000 and was a wholesale commercial center for many towns in the area including Missoula. The success of the district prompted publication for three years of "The Missoula and Cedar Creek Pioneer" newspaper. The paper was then moved to Missoula and its name changed to the Missoulian (Smith 1899; Rowe 1911b; Lyden 1948; Wolle 1963).
The gold is recovered from stream and bench gravels located along the three creeks and their tributaries. The gold originates from veins associated with igneous dykes crosscutting the northward extension of the Bitterroots. Chalcopyrite is the principal ore material, and also carries copper and silver in small amounts (Sahinen 1935).

BROKE residents have been alarmed by signs saying "Danger of Explosive Vapours" erected beside two coal seam methane gas test wells on the edge of the Upper Hunter village. Hunter-Bulga Gas Action Group spokesman Graeme Gibson said the potentially explosive zone was 300 metres from Broke Primary School, tennis courts and a recreation area and 200 metres from the closest home. "Representatives of the company using the wells haven't spoken to residents about the extent of the explosive risk and some residents believe any risk is too great to justify the wells," Mr Gibson said. Sydney Gas general manager Mark Harper dismissed the concern as an overreaction. "The risk of explosion is absolutely negligible and the signs are simply a legal requirement to identify the nature of the installation," Mr Harper said. "There are no leaks at the wells, the gas will be under little more pressure than a car tyre and the explosive danger would be less than the local petrol station. "Methane is also passed from the back passages of animals and humans and although I haven't tested it, I'd say there is more methane gas coming from cows in the next paddock, or even leaking from the children in the school playground, than coming from our wells." Mr Gibson said residents were concerned about the potential for gas to leak from ground fractures associated with the wells and the visual impact of drilling on property values and wine-related tourism. Mr Harper said his company had just bought another property in Putty Road, Millbrodale, on which three test wells would be drilled as part of a program that would consist of nine test wells in the Broke-Bulga area.

If you shave your head, you may experience ingrown hairs as a result. Once a hair is shaved, its tip becomes sharp. As the hair grows out, it may curve toward the scalp and pierce the skin. Your body then treats the hair like a foreign object and the area becomes red and inflamed. The bump over the ingrown hair may hurt and itch.
Grow your hair out. If you must keep it short, use barber clippers or scissors to trim it instead of shaving it with a razor. The University of Mississippi Health Care recommends keeping your short hair at a length of 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
Avoid wearing hats or anything else on your head. Sweat and objects rubbing against the ingrown hair bump will irritate it and prevent the ingrown hair from healing quickly.
Shampoo your hair daily to remove dead skin cells and keep your scalp clean. Even if you don't have hair, wash your scalp daily. While you are shampooing, rub your scalp with a toothbrush or rough washcloth to try to tease the ingrown hair out of the skin.
Place a hot compress on your scalp for 15 minutes three times per day. Hot compresses will help the bumps to drain.
Apply hydrocortisone cream to the bumps two to three times per day. Be sure to rub it in well so it doesn't dry on your hair and leave a white film. The hydrocortisone cream reduces inflammation and helps control itching.
Resist the urge to pick at the ingrown hair, since you can't easily see it. Hyperpigmentation and scarring can result from trying to dig out a deeply ingrown or embedded hair.
If the ingrown hairs don't respond to self-treatment, contact a dermatologist to determine if you need prescription medications. Some ingrown hairs may need to be treated with antibiotics, corticosteroids or retinoids.


Houston-based Parry Botanicals founder Elizabeth K. Parry's passion for quality beauty products flourished in early 2000, when she created her first product in her kitchen using a KitchenAid mixer. When Elizabeth's allergies flared, she began working with chemists to develop a product line made from the highest quality ingredients that are 100% natural, chemical-, dye-, phthalate- and paraben-free.
Having lost several friends and family to cancer, she is proud her company makes healthy choices. The Parry Botanicals line stands for all-natural beauty that truly works, but leaves behind all of the harmful chemicals.
TLM: Where did the idea to launch Parry Botanicals come from?
I have significant allergies and autoimmune issues. I was tired of companies claiming their natural products offered real results when they didn't. Plus, I had my son at 40 and my skin changed. I needed more moisture, more nutrients, more anti-oxidants. Many companies have clever advertising that isn't always honest. Due to my severe sensitivities, I knew when companies weren't being truthful with their "all-natural" taglines, so I created my own. I also wanted a line that my little one could use. All of our products are baby-safe.
TLM: You're Houston-based. How did Hurricane Harvey affect you and your business?
We were very fortunate our warehouse was not affected nor were our vendors. We had a few delays and rerouted orders since UPS was down for several days—my rep was great about making sure our customers were taken care of… We wanted to help our community, so we donated 100% of our profits in September 2017 on all Body Cream and Pure Botanical Lotion orders to help those directly impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
Not fair! I'm so proud of our Astros but I was a cheerleader and know the O'Brian family personally, so I'll have to say Texans. Plus, I'm so impressed and proud of JJ Watt for his humanitarian efforts. I mean, that guy!!
TLM: What's the one thing we should do to take care of our skin?
Use a serum! (Our miracle anti-aging serum is gentle, so can be used morning and evening. It also exfoliates naturally, leaving your skin incredibly soft.) Two other very important tips: always, always, always wash your face and apply a mineral based sunscreen during the day.
TLM: What's the worst hairstyle you've had?
A hairstylist tried to make me blonde and it was a disaster. I had to cut my elbow-length hair into a short bob. When I went to dinner with friends that night, they opened the door and their jaws dropped. It was bad, but now I can laugh. And will never try it again!
TLM: What's the best outfit you've ever had?
My wedding dress. I couldn't find what I was looking for (this might be a trend for me) so I designed my own and had it made by Jeni Kim. It was perfect, so me!
TLM: Tell us about your first date.
Well, my husband and I had many 'friend' dates such as the Greek Festival with our church, but the first official date was at the golf course—my idea. My golf instructor once told me you can learn a lot about a man by his golf game. I was so nervous I did terrible, but he was a gentleman. I was so proud of my new skill and didn't realize he was a scratch golfer. A good sport indeed!

While some take written word to be inherently superior to the spoken word others believe that what is communicated verbally is inherently stronger than the written word.
This conflict existed for thousands of years. And different civilizations took different stands on this. But the conflict assumes greater importance in the 21st century, especially when 'transliteracy' skill (ability to learn from different media and from diverse sources — not necessarily in the written form or within a limited space or limited time period) is now considered to be a vital skill to survive and thrive in the present age.
How to make sense of this conflict?
"…. this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them.
Today, we learn not only from books but also from many other sources, which are essentially based on human interactions in varied forms of communication through spoken words – some of which are storytelling, dialogs, discussions, debates, global conferences, workshops, negotiations, narrations, collaboration, sharing ability and evidences, coaching, mentoring etc. The media through which such communication flourishes are varied like, emails, cell phones, various social media platforms, direct experience, teaching …. etc.
Surely the volume of spoken word outweighs the written word in our present bit (binary digit) world where often the spoken word is presented in a written format.
If we look back, even two decades earlier, the memory capacity of our computers were going up by the day facilitating storage of ever increasing volume of data (written words). But the trend is now being reversed. Now we are using smart phone, tablets, audio, video, podcasts and net books, which have just enough memory to work smoothly. Software development is giving way to sharing information over shared platforms through development of specific applications.
And perhaps, when faced with increasing complexity, we are all forced to learn on the go — meaning instantly — in the here and now, with the full awareness that what we learn now might be replaced by new learning in the very next moment. The reason for this is simple — all complex situations are so unique that learning from one complex situation may or may not be directly translated to another complex situation, however similar that might seem to be.
Though the learning environment has become more complex than ever before the simplicity in this situation lies in the fact that we are increasingly relying on learning directly from direct human interactions in the form of varied types of conversations in which we become an intrinsic part of our personal learning experience.
For instance, the open learning culture that is expanding very quickly, fundamentally relies on the spoken word (videos, audios and podcasts) on diverse subjects (e.g. MIT opencourseware, Khan Academy) for learning to take place. Such videos are usually supported by brief notes and not elaborate text books (written word).
As I see it, there would be an exponential increase in learning through conversations that would rely more on the spoken word whereas the size of elaborately written documents would continually decrease and be limited to issues where correct transmission might be endangered.
In today's world, to learn we must become a part of the process that produces the knowledge applicable to our needs. For that to take place, conversations would occupy the center stage of learning. In that case, spoken word would gradually assume greater importance than sole reliance on written words in form of books and textbooks.
It means that the way we would develop and use our mind-body complex would assume utmost importance in the coming years.
May be. But the human world has progressed more through spoken words and stories. Visuals help to highlight the stories and make them live. But visuals on their own stand on weaker ground. This is of course my personal understanding, which might be wrong.

Kanye West Presidential Campaign Blows Deadline, Rosie O'Donnell Asks Him To Take His Meds
What will it take to make Yeezy great again?
Written By Robert Longfellow
Source: SAUL LOEB / Getty
Kanye West's alleged presidential campaign just hit a major snag. Yeezy missed a campaign donation deadline, which hints that run for President is as struggle-filled as anyone with sense predicted.
If you've been following Yeezy, and his album release dates, you know that missed deadlines have become the norm. That doesn't fly when you're running for office.
Kanye, the presidential candidate, is required by FEC rules to file a financial report if he raises or spends $100k on his campaign.
The filing deadline was August 20, but according to an FEC official … the agency hasn't received it.
So this means one of 2 things, and neither is good for Kanye — either he missed the filing deadline or he didn't raise $100k … and how do you run for Prez if you can't raise $100k?
Guess those GOP Ops hoping to have West be the spoiler candidate to the detriment of Joe Biden weren't as good as they said they were. Shocker. #sarcasm.
In other news, you can't say no one hasn't told him. Actress and comedienne Rosie O'Donnell took to Twitter to tell Kanye West to take his meds for his bipolar disorder.
Reports Page Six:
The Yeezy designer and presidential hopeful tweeted out on Friday a list of states where his name will appear on the election ballot, to which the former "View" co-host responded with concern — and even mentioned his late mother, Donda.
"ye – u must take ur meds – save urself – get balanced – if ur mom was here she would say that to u – with so much love …," wrote 58-year-old O'Donnell.
O'Donnell's message came after West, 43, suffered a public breakdown as a result of his mental health issues. Amid his breakdown, West revealed during one of his campaign rallies that he and wife Kim Kardashian thought about aborting their now-7-year-old daughter, North West.
Though he and Kardashian appear to have mended their marriage while on private family trips to the Dominican Republic and Colorado, West's erratic tweeting has remained. As Page Six previously reported, West made a pit stop in New York this week.
At this point, we just want Yeezy to get it together, for his own sake and personal safety.

Roughly a third of households will be eligible for fiber internet from AT&T, CenturyLink, Windstream or other providers.

The antioxidant value of Hazelnuts or Filberts described in ORAC units is: 9,645 μ mol TE/100g.
Are hazelnuts the same as filberts? Yes. How much antioxidants do they contain? A high amount, at least relative to most other nuts (pecans and walnuts rank higher). Versus many other foods like meat and dairy, hazelnuts have an exponentially higher amount - as much as 100 to 300x more.

If you're sure you no longer need the file, it's sometimes better to skip the Recycle Bin altogether. Scott Lowe shares three methods for deleting files without first sending them to the Recycle Bin.
The Recycle Bin exists in Windows for a very good reason--people make mistakes. However, files in the Recycle Bin still take up space. If you don't clean out the Recycle Bin every once in a while, these files can produce erroneous free disk space reports.
Windows Server 2003 offers a couple methods for deleting files without first sending them to the Recycle Bin. Be aware, however, that using these methods really deletes the files immediately.
Go to Start | Run, enter gpedit.msc at the command prompt, and click OK.
Select User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Explorer.
Find the Do Not Move Deleted Files To The Recycle Bin entry.
Change Not Configured or Disabled to Enabled.
Add a DWORD value named NoRecycleFiles, and give it a value of 1.
Close the Registry Editor, and restart the system for the change to take effect.
Note: Editing the registry is risky, so be sure you have a verified backup before making any changes.

Jay-Z is as big a star as their is on the planet these days. He has become an entrepreneur, while continuing his music career that begin his fame. There is something else, however, that Jay-Z feels he is good at.
He recently revealed his love for gambling while over in London. He even considers himself an expert in the gambling field. It is not uncommon to find high profile stars who enjoy gambling.
Whether it is because they have enough money to absorb losses, or they just like the action, one thing is certain. Gambling and stardom go hand and hand, and Jay-Z has embraced it.
"I'm a pretty big, almost professional, gambler. I'm not gonna say any names because that'll mess it all up, but there are these little private clubs you can go to in the West End where you can hang out and gamble, and it's pretty cool," said Jay-Z.
While admitting to enjoying these gambling dens, he refused to name any of the ones that he frequents while in London. He claims that part of the advantage to these gambling houses is that they are secluded, and he can get some privacy.
The Jay-Z admission comes after another high profile star, Charles Barkley, has said he is trying to break his gambling habit. Other "A" list stars have taken to the game of poker, with many playing in tournaments all over the world.
The Caesars brand name has once again come to an existing casino. Casino Windsor has been re-branded in the Caesars name and is now open for business under the new brand.
The casino underwent a $439 million overhaul. It remodeled and expanded, and is now ready to compete with casinos in neighboring Detroit.
In December of 2006, Casino Windsor announced that it would be re-branding as Caesars Windsor. The name has been changed, but so has some of the casino itself.
The Augustus Tower hotel has 369 room and is twenty seven story's high. There is also 100,000 square feet of convention space available. The 5,000 seat Colosseum will also be bringing in acts throughout the summer.
Michael Bolton, Randy Travis, Patti LaBelle, Ringo Starr, Neil Sedaka, and Donna Summer are some of the acts that are scheduled to perform this summer.
Detroit has three casinos located in their city, and they are a main rival to Caesars Windsor. The casino in Ontario opened in 1994, but just recently changed its name and its decor to fit the Caesars brand.

Bernice Burrell Peterson
Very quietly and peacefully, on Thursday, August 19, 2021, Almighty God, in his infinite wisdom, mercy, and grace, gently closed the eyes of His beloved Bernice Burrell Peterson at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Hospital in Richmond, VA. She was born on April 17, 1927 in Middlesex County Virginia. She was the youngest daughter of 10 to the late James H. and Jennie C. Burrell. At an early age, she was baptized and joined the Union Shiloh Baptist Church in Laneview, VA. She received her education at the Middlesex County Schools. Bernice was preceded in death by siblings: James T. Burrell, Ida B. Jackson, Linnell Burrell, Sr., Francis Burrell, Johnny L. Burrell, Fannie Carter, Abraham L. Burrell, Sr., and Maria B. Tuppings. In 1940's she met and married her first husband, Clyde Miller, who preceded her in death from a car accident. She later married Liston "Bunky" Peterson who also preceded her in death. She attended the cosmetology school and became a license beautician in the early 50's. Family, friends and many ladies from the surrounding area sought her hair dressing skills in her home-based beauty shop. She took pride in her work and you always left with a style that was beautiful and long lasting. Her skills at handling a straightening comb and twirling those hot curlers were phenomenal and amazing to watch. Also, the idea of ever burning a customer's scalp was slim to none! That's just how good she was. After many years of pressing and curling, she finally gave it up. Bernice was also an entrepreneur when she opened a business in Center Cross that later became known as the Starlite Inn. Having no children of her own, she always showed great love and care for children. She became a mother when she raised her nephew Tyrone Burrell from an infant. She and her first husband, Clyde Miller, took him in and raised him as their own. They also adopted and raised a daughter, Corine Jordan, who preceded her in death in 2018. She was fondly known by her grandchildren as "Big Momma". Bernice also had a hand in raising her great niece, Sharnay Coles from an infant until she turned 4 years old and she returned every summer until she turned 16. Bernice was also a foster mother to five school-aged children in the 1970's and kept them until they were placed in permanent homes. Bernice loved family and enjoyed cooking for the holidays. You would hear her say from time to time, "Lord, I gotta get some food in this house," even though the freezer and pantry was full. She took joy in always cooking enough for the family and anyone who would drop by. She loved having company and entertaining family and friends. Her favorite past times were piecing together jigsaw puzzles and playing cards with family and friends. She will be remembered for her catch phrases like, "Great day in the morning!" and "Right-O!", and her most well-known "I know it's the truth!" She leaves to mourn a devoted son, Tyrone Burrell (Dena) of Philadelphia, PA; granddaughtes, Tracey Roye (Dwayne), Hyattsville, MD, . and Jazmine Short of Philadelphia, PA; grandsons: Keith M. Miller (Patricia Dovalier) of Iselin, New Jersey, Walter "Tashan" Jordan of Hyattsville, MD and Bernard Burrell, Jr.; eight great grandchildren: Keith M. Miller, Jr., Shamir Townsend, Cam'ron Jordan, Jasmine (Tati) Miller; Jason, Kaiden, Sebastian McCall and Jatiah "Tia"Paige; three great-great grandchildren: Donta Miller, Darnell Miller, and Halia Townsend-Stokes; one brother; Tiny Burrell of Philadelphia, PA and one sister-in-law, Mary J. Burrell, of Tappahannock, VA. She will also be greatly missed by a host of nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and great-great nieces and nephews, cousins, as well as her card playing friends. Special thanks to everyone who helped her whenever they could and especially to her dedicated nieces, LeVern Miller and Mary (Be-Be) Gaines, who took care of her until her passing. A funeral service will be held 11AM Saturday, August 28, 2021 at Vincent Funeral Home, 417 11th Street, West Point, VA 23181. A visitation will take place from 6PM-8PM Friday, August 27,2021 at the funeral home. Interment to follow service in Union Shiloh Baptist Church Cemetery.

At Longdon Hall School we believe that the word 'curriculum' should be interpreted in its widest meaning. It is every planned learning experience the pupils have as a member of the school, both learnt formally within a lesson and informally outside the classroom throughout the whole School day. It is all the planned activities that we organise in order to promote learning, personal growth and development. Teachers, support staff and instructors structure these experiences to ensure that they have the most positive effect on the attainment, progress and personal development of all pupils.
The overall aim of the curriculum is to enable all the young people at Longdon Hall School to become Successful Learners, Confident Individuals and Responsible Citizens.
At the School we offer a flexible, personalised, engaging skills based curriculum providing both choice and challenge focussed on developing emotional literacy, core subject knowledge and offering a wide range of accredited outcomes. There is a strong focus on the social and emotional aspects of learning through the delivery of a range of social development programmes. The curriculum is delivered by qualified, skilled, empathetic and experienced staff operating in a warm, safe, nurturing and state of the art learning environment.
As part of the admissions process and after a place has been confirmed a range of data and information is forwarded to education staff prior to the young person arriving. This information will include education, social and medical history, attendance, safeguarding issues and involvement of other agencies.Educational health care plan needs will provide further information relating to current attainment as a minimum in core subjects.
On admission to the school each young person will complete a full baseline assessment. Data from this assessment will be distributed to education staff and will reflect cognitive ability as well as current assessment. Where the statement received indicates, or where the generic baseline assessment indicates, there will be further targeted screening, where necessary with specialist support. The baseline data is used to set realistic targets for progress across the curriculum and in relation to the key learning needs of the individual. The targets form a key part of individual plans including education plans, behaviour plans, positive handling plans and individual risk assessments.
Longdon Hall School endeavours to provide all pupils with a range of opportunities to participate in a vocational environment. A clear vocational philosophy exists at Key Stage 4 as careers and guidance is encouraged as part of a whole school approach in education, care and therapy.
Emphasis on vocational opportunities is being developed in PPW with the inclusion of horticulture, cycle maintenance, food technology, design and enterprise, mechanics and playing music. Enterprise is encouraged in all areas of the curriculum and is taught discretely as Young Enterprise in Year 11. Enterprise is further encouraged through whole school charity events, community service and the community volunteer programme. Discrete careers and guidance are taught through Life Skills (Myself and the World of Work), English (EL Work Units) and Asdan ( World of Work Module). The Asdan Foundation for Work Award will give further accreditation and emphasis for this important area as a new PSD programme is developed in the school.
In Key stage 4 and beyond the emphasis is placed on the world of work, opportunity awareness, college experience and work experience. All 14+ pupils are interviewed to give guidance and encourage participation in College programmes. Pupils who are ready for work experience are supported with a suitable work placement as guided through outside agencies.
Personalised learning is supported by Individual personal profiles to encourage pupils to pursue areas of interest and gain experience. Teachers, instructors and learning support staff give valuable support and guidance as they support the individual pupil needs. Further extensive careers support and guidance are available through: 'Preparation for Work' unit of PSD programme, planned visits and discussions and advice from local Connexions Advisor (school and personal), Outside Agencies and Parents / Carer involvement as opportunities are provided for pupils' individual needs and future transitions.
The ethos of Forest School is based on a fundamental respect for children and young people and for their capacity to instigate, test and maintain curiosity in the world around them. It believes in children's right to play; the right to access the outdoors (and in particular a woodland environment); the right to access risk and the vibrant reality of the natural world; and the right to experience a healthy range of emotions, through all the challenges of social interaction, to build a resilience that will enable continued and creative engagement with their peers and their potential. It is an approach to education that makes use of the outdoor environment to create a unique learning vehicle.
Forest School sessions provide increasingly diverse opportunities for children to benefit from a supportive curriculum that can help children build positive values and attitudes about themselves, about learning, and the environment in which they live. Children are given appropriately challenging and achievable tasks that build their confidence, skills and independence, and are given the time to thoroughly explore their thoughts, feelings and relationships. This time and reflective practice develops inter and intrapersonal skills, which are well documented as being directly linked to learning skills.

The UWC is holding its 5th annual trip on the Sevier River! This is a great class 3 run through some beautiful southern Utah scenery. The club has reserved sites #27 & #28 for Friday June 27th and Saturday June 28th at the Castle Rock Campground.
The location and directions to Castle Rock Campground can be found at the link below. It is just south of I-70 via exit 17.
If you are not joining us for the camping Friday night, we will be meeting for the first run on Saturday morning at 10:30 AM at the put in which is located directly across the road from Big Rock Candy Mtn. Look for a road and bridge across the river just a little bit north of the resort itself.
This is a really fun run through some spectacular scenery. Castle Rock Campground is also very nice. Hope to see a good turnout. As always, non members are welcome and will just need to sign a waiver and pay the $5.00 ACA insurance fee. We will also be accepting donations to help pay for the campground.


We're in Florida and nearing the end of this crazy adventure. An otherwise perfect day is tainted when a member of the set up crew misses load in, forcing Danny to choose between being a friend and being a boss. Later, the crew says goodbye to a key member when he leaves the tour early for another gig.


Another key acquisition for Generator in June 2018, for the unconditional purchase of a 9 acre greenbelt site. We are currently promoting the scheme through Solihull Authority's Local Plan process. The scheme is still at an early stage however we foresee potential for C3 and C2 uses.


In your translation you choose to keep some words in their original language; why did you choose to do this and was there a reason why you presented these words in italics?
The main reason is that Geda keeps those words in their original language in the Italian text, and I wanted to create the same effect on the English reader as he did on the Italian reader. In general, I think it's important to keep culture-specific (and therefore usually untranslatable) words in their original language, hoping they will be understandable from the context, or perhaps sometimes adding something to the English text to explain them. I put them in italics simply to indicate to the reader that they are indeed foreign words.
In The Sea There Are Crocodiles is the true story of Enaiatollah Akbari's gruelling journey from Afghanistan to Italy. Geda, who is primarily a novelist, recorded Enaiatollah's story and in this book has re-told it, trying to retain the voice of Enaiatollah. How much do you believe Geda added his style of prose to the book?
Not having been privy to the conversations between Enaiatollah and Geda, I really can't say how much of the book is Enaiatollah's and how much is Geda's. As a translator, that is, as someone who is professionally concerned with capturing other people's voices, I admired the way Geda captured Enaiatollah's voice. It came across as authentic, and it was that voice I myself tried to convey in my translation.
Geda is an Italian novelist, Enaiatollah is a refugee in Italy. In The Sea There Are Crocodiles was written in Italian, transcribing Enaiatollah's account from his spoken Italian; however Enaiatollah's mother tongue is, we believe, Dari. Did you find it strange to be translating a book from one language knowing that it had once already been translated from its original language?
As far as I know, by the time Enaiatollah spoke to Geda, he spoke quite good Italian, and (again as far as I know) their conversations for the book were conducted in Italian. Therefore, I don't think it's true to say that the Italian text had been translated from another language, and I didn't find any strangeness.
Do you think the story would have translated particularly differently had someone been translating from an account in Dari?
As I don't speak any Dari, I really can't say how different the book would have been if it had been written in that language. I assume it would have been quite different, as it would not have had the contribution of Geda, and so the translation would also have been quite different.
Geda obviously worked very closely with Enaiatollah, did you find it hard not having this same relationship to the storyteller, and not being able to ask the same questions? Did you ever meet Enaiatollah?
Sadly, I've never met him. I believe he was due to come to Britain last year and was unable to obtain a visa. But in this case, I didn't find the lack of personal contact created any problems in the translation.
Geda was purposefully trying to publicise the subject of refugees. Did you have a personal interest in this also? How much do you feel the translator should share the passion for the cause of the novel as the novelist themselves?
I have no specific personal involvement in the subject. As a professional translator, I take on all kinds of texts, not all of which necessarily reflect my own views on the world, though I would probably find it hard to translate a writer whose views were diametrically opposed to mine. In this case, I was pleased to be working on something that highlighted the plight of refugees and migrants.
Howard Curtis has translated Francisco Coloane's Tierra del Fuego and five novels by Jean-Claude Izzo for Europa Editions, including all three books in Izzo's Marseilles trilogy. His translation of the final book in this trilogy, Solea, was shortlisted for the French-American and Florence Gould Translation Prize in 2008.
In your translations of Michele Giutarri's Ferrara series you use "woken up" instead of the correct "awakened". However, I find your translations to be quite good.
