Sometimes you can have too much to choose from. Here are the bushes and the geometric design of the stairs and trellis in a park in the local town of Solothurn, Switzerland.
I used to have a curtain, before we changed it to the modern stripy stuff. It seems we had some spectators looking through the curtains.
I happened to take a photo of this house a couple of days ago on one of my famous wheelies in my chair. This also seems to cover a bit of brick, a bit of red and a bit of wall, and there are even a few bushes growing. No curtains, we tend to have blinds, but there are windows. 🙂

Time to cook again but it looks like I will have to construct my own recipe.
Dappled Prompt Stew
100 grammes sun – no make that a kilo
2 Kilo Clouds for the shady look
A river or a lake – makes no big difference, just as long as it is water
Mix it all up with a camera and stand on one side
You do not want to give it an overpowering taste of your shadow
Make sure that it will not begin to rain, as that will be dapple murder
Trees can also be used for spice, but do not overdo it, you might have more spice then dapple
And then we have the result, to be taken in small doses
Too much dapple can spoil the soup
And voilà. the meal is finished with a highlight of reflection for perfection.
For a desert to calm the senses we would recommend a pond in the cemetery
but definitely not the river. It could cause indigestion, especially if too many empty bottles of dapple were included.
Although we do have clouds this morning with a background of blue sky, yesterday evening was an interesting sunset with a red tinge to it and even an aircraft was winging its way in the distance. It was a pleasant day yesterday. At first it looked like one of the hot ones, but it cooled down a little and remained pleasant. I decided on a day at home. It was Monday and I decided to have a lazy one. Actually both of us were not top quality. Mr. Swiss had his usual back problems and I just felt tired.
I remember talking to my specialist neurologist last week that I never imagined that growing old would have such problems. Of course my mum and dad always had this and that, and when dad got to the platinum age accompanied by his walker everywhere I realized the shape of things to come. I am accident prone, broke an arm twice, a leg once and in between have MS, but it all leaves you a little bit frayed at the edges. I always had the feeling old people are just old and things are not what they used to be, but how they are not what they used to be really is an awakening.
Anyhow enough complaining, I managed to get out of bed this morning and do my usual thing. Today is cleaning lady day, she has just arrived and is now busy in the bathroom. I never thought I would ever employ someone to clean away my mess, although not really a mess, just not as it was. She does a super job and I am glad. It was Mr. Swiss that put his foot down as he realized if I could no longer do it as I used to, he definitely could not.
It looks like it is becoming a rose summer this year. I thought this bush in my garden had finished with its flowers a month ago, but it is ready for a second round it seems.
My cone flower has also thrown up a second flower which opened this morning, so it can only get better.
There is just one disadvantage to the summer, the flies have returned. At last they can do what they are meant to do, annoy the human race. This one could not decide which key to stay on. They seem to be getting more intelligent. At least it breaks up the monotony for a photo shoot when I sit outside on the porch.
I am still thinking about an excursion today. It is not too hot and I tend to get cabin fever if I stay at home. We just got a telephone call from the village factotum that he will be calling past to make the alterations to our apartment door after a stone got wedged underneath on Saturday evening and it was jammed. He has now just arrived and as Mr. Swiss is going to town I will be left alone with him and the cleaning lady. It is becoming an exciting day.
The door has now been removed, quite a heavy door, and he is now boring and making noise.
And now to go and clean some windows, that I do not suffer from boredom. Relax and enjoy life, it can only get better I say. I will leave you with my hibiscus which is also now flowering regularly.

text: Tiger and Bunny takes place in the fictional city of Sternbild, where a number of years ago people called Next possessing superhuman abilities started manifesting themselves. At the present some of these individuals work as corporate sponsored superheroes and their activities are documented by a popular reality TV show called HeroTV, wherein they are awarded points and ranked in order of their performance. The main focus of the story is on two of the heroes, the veteran Kotetsu T. Kaburagi aka Wild Tiger and the newcomer Barnaby Brooks Jr., as they solve their differences and learn to work together.

Although the female nurse has been a fixture in modern warfare, she is often overlooked. The nurse's role was especially important in World War I, when thousands of female medical personnel were required for the treatment of millions of soldiers and civilians. In Russia, nurses were indispensable to the war effort, serving on the front lines and often assuming public leadership roles. These nurses, far from merely binding wounds, provided vital services that put them squarely in traditionally masculine territory, both literally and figuratively.
Followed by a reception and book-signing.

It's no secret Gaido's makes an incredible gumbo. The seafood masters have been perfecting their roux for the past 100 years.
With the big Galveston Island Shrimp Festival on tap for this upcoming weekend, I asked Gaido's to share their famous recipe with my website viewers on Goodtaste.tv — fait accompli! But that's not all, the intrepid reporter in me wanted more. What are Gaido's secret to really rich, flavorful gumbo? What do their chefs do that we're not doing in our kitchens when we try to mimic that savory dish?
Casey Gaido says the biggest mistake most of us make when making gumbo is not using clarified butter in our roux.
Clarified butter is butter without water or fat solids, so it allows for a higher cooking temperature. It's the high temperature when cooking roux that allows you to get a brown or penny roux without any burnt flavor. You want that color for your roux.
It's a simple process. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Then, skim the foam from the top and pour it into another container. Don't include the milky solids at the bottom of the pan.
Gaido adds that while cooking the flour to that color will take away its thickening ability, it also creates a nutty aroma and better flavor. After you get the brown roux you can add the butter solids back to the gumbo.
Next, he says don't overcook your shrimp. Only add it to your gumbo when you're few minutes out from serving it.
To get the recipe, head to Goodtaste.tv. While you're there be sure to sign up for my newsletter for a chance to win a weekend a the luxurious Riven Rock Ranch Resort in the Texas hill country.

The USS M-31 was a Federation starship, a so-called "galaxy ship" in service in the late 23rd century.
History and specifications[edit | edit source]
As such a vessel, Starfleet's intended purpose of Magellan was to survive the limits of the Milky Way Galaxy and perform long term observation and exploration outside of the galaxy's borders. (TOS - Duty, Honor, Redemption novelization: The Wrath of Khan)
Appendices[edit | edit source]
Connections[edit | edit source]
|Federation galaxy ships
|Andromeda • M-31 • Magellanic Clouds
Background[edit | edit source]
At the time the novelization was written, author Vonda N. McIntyre had apparently intended to depict the next step in Starfleet's evolution showing these ships leaving the galaxy towards nearby neighbor galaxies. The Star Trek franchise continued in the following years to raise questions, making these descriptions fail to fit with the general state of Star Trek's storytelling, particularly with Star Trek: The Next Generation establishing early on that Starfleet had not followed through with attempts to reach other galaxies, in TNG episode: "Where No One Has Gone Before".

I found out recently about some new advances in 3D printing. Even though it has been around for a couple of decades now, 3D printing has mainly been in the realms of hobbyists as well as designers of product prototypes rather than in actual development.
Metal Printing is Now
In the past, 3D printing with anything other than plastics has been very costly and time-consuming. Now there is a way to print metal on a 3D scale and the technology is here and available to use. This will revolutionize the way we produce parts and it will surely change the market, I understand.
This will influence mass production in such a way that we can cheaply produce parts just by printing them and this will save both time and money for manufacturers. It will no longer be necessary to maintain large inventories because parts can just be printed.
Replacement Parts Made Easy
When I thought about it, I had to see if this sort of technological advancement would make it easier for replacement parts to be made for cars and other machinery. As it turns out, that is exactly what these 3D metal printers do. They make parts perfectly with each repetition being the same as the previous.
This means that, when parts are needed, they will not have to be ordered. This will actually reduce overhead costs for many companies and make repairs of vehicles and other machines much more affordable for everyone involved.
Lighter and Stronger
I found out that this technology is able to create stronger parts that are lighter in weight and the printers can even handle printing complex objects that would normally tack conventional metal fabricators a long time to produce.
3D metal printers will allow for better control of the precision of metal micro structures as well. Just in 2017, the researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory created a 3D printing technique and method that produces stainless steel parts that are actually twice as strong as those traditionally made.
Here and Now
I had to wonder if this is something that will be affordable for manufacturers to adopt and, it turns out that it is. Just in 2017, one of the 3D printing companies, Markforged, made and released the very first 3D metal printer and it sells for under $100,000.
While this price may seem steep, when you consider what it is capable of, it is they type of futuristic technology that will be capable of paying for itself. The cost is actually much lower than many types of complex metal part development and manufacture.
Development and Sales
I found out that Markforged and other companies are developing larger and better 3D metal printers. They are also developing smaller ones for more detailed and tiny pieces to be created. Sales are already starting out large with many manufacturers buying everything they can that is already developed.
We will see the development and sales of these 3D printers boom over the next year and then some into the future.

American Red Cross and IRONMAN Foundation to Hold Massive Hands-Only CPR Training in Lake Placid
July 13, 2017
Service project part of $90,000 in charitable giveback at 2017 IRONMAN Lake Placid
TAMPA, Fla. (July 13, 2017) – The IRONMAN Foundation® will host a large-scale Hands-Only CPR training for the community of Lake Placid, for IRONMAN athletes, and for their families and friends, on July 20, 21 and 22 at IRONMAN Village located inside the Olympic Oval as part of IRONMAN® Lake Placid race week. In addition, The IRONMAN Foundation will award a $5,000 Community Grant to the American Red Cross Eastern New York Region to support its training programs. The IRONMAN Foundation will distribute more than $90,000 in total charitable giveback to non-profit initiatives and groups in the greater Lake Placid region in conjunction with the 2017 IRONMAN® Lake Placid triathlon taking place on Sunday, July 23.
"We are thrilled to be able to partner with the IRONMAN Foundation to bring lifesaving training to thousands of people during IRONMAN Lake Placid race week," said Jane Gendron, Executive Director of the American Red Cross North Country Chapter, which serves the community of Lake Placid. "This is a unique opportunity and we are very grateful to the IRONMAN Foundation and our many dedicated volunteers for helping to make it possible."
The IRONMAN Foundation Community Fund provides community and volunteerism grant opportunities to non-profit organizations where IRONMAN events are held. This year's grant funding brings the total historical giveback to more than $1.5 million in the region. In 2017, The IRONMAN Foundation will distribute more than $1.5 million in grant funding to support the needs of IRONMAN race communities across North America.
In addition to the American Red Cross, two local non-profit organizations will receive Community Grant awards, the Lake Placid Outing Club and the Mirror Lake Watershed Association. Grants will be awarded at the Welcome Ceremony on Friday, July 21 and will include a special grant to Adirondack Health's Stafford New Life Center. IRONMAN athlete Ryan Heisler raised the funds for the special grant as part of the IRONMAN Foundation's "Your Journey, Your Cause Program" and in memory of his infant son, Owen.
"As both an organization and as individuals, we are incredibly moved by Ryan's support for our Stafford New Life Center," said Sylvia Getman, Adirondack Health President & CEO. "His generosity and compassion will touch hundreds of lives, and we are so very grateful to count Ryan as a friend. We wish him, and all of his fellow competitors, a safe and successful IRONMAN."
"It's an honor to support so many incredible local community organizations and causes," said Sarah Hartmann, Community Relations Manager for The IRONMAN Foundation. "Together we are creating a tangible and lasting impact in Lake Placid. It will be a highlight to meet members of the community, the athletes and their friends at the three-day Hands-Only CPR training, introduce them to our IRONMAN Foundation Ambassadors, including Team Captain and 'Voice of IRONMAN' Mike Reilly and learn how to save a life!"

The murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl has sparked outrage and condemnation. But there is also concern that journalists could increasingly become targets of terrorist groups.
Reaction to Daniel Pearl's death has been swift and pointed. President Bush said his killing would only deepen U.S. resolve to rid the world of terror.
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf went on state television to express condolences to Daniel Pearl's family and to issue a new warning to those who carry out terrorist acts inside Pakistan. "I think our resolve increases with such acts, to move more strongly against all such terrorists and those organizations who perpetrate such terrorism, to move against them and liquidate them entirely from the country," he said.
At the Wall Street Journal where Daniel Pearl worked, there was shock and sadness.
Paul Steiger, the Journal's Managing Editor, said "It makes a mockery of everything that Danny's kidnappers claimed to believe in. They claim to be Pakistani nationalists, but their actions must surely bring shame to all true Pakistani patriots."
Political analysts and commentators have also been quick to condemn Daniel Pearl's execution. Joseph From, a guest on this week's "Issues in the News" program here in VOA, said "on the surface, you would think that this damaged their cause and that seems to be the popular reaction in the media here, it has damaged their cause. I don't think they see it that way. The more brutal it is, probably from their point of view, the more effective [it is]."
If that is true, there is growing concern that western journalists in Pakistan could become targets for kidnapping and murder.
Susan Bennett is Director of International Exhibits at the Newseum, a Washington area museum about journalism that includes a memorial to reporters killed in the line of duty. "The trend seems to be, around the world, targeting journalists for the work they do. Not just Daniel Pearl, but in other countries last year journalists were picked out and selected for killing, not because they were covering a conflict but merely because of the jobs they were doing," she said.
Nafisa Hoodhboy worked as a reporter for the Pakistani newspaper Dawn. She believes foreign journalists working in Pakistan are at greater risk now that the Taleban has been removed from power in neighboring Afghanistan. "The fact that al-Qaida and many of the Islamic militants have shifted from Afghanistan into Pakistan has now made the area a dangerous place for journalists and particularly western journalists," she said.
Susan Bennett with the Newseum predicted that journalists will be more careful in the wake of Daniel Pearl's murder, but no less determined to get the story. "I think there will be a pause for reflection where editors think about the assignments they give reporters and reporters will think about the precautions they need to take," she said. "But I think if anything, Daniel Pearl's vicious murder will just harden the resolve of journalists around the world to get the story and get it right."
In New York, the Committee to Protect Journalists issued a statement praising Daniel Pearl as a courageous journalist who believed in the truth and who died searching for it.

Work Safety Codes of Practice Now Mandatory
From 1 July, standards set by individual codes of practice, or equivalent or higher standards, must be followed by all employers, or they risk enforcement action being taken by workplace safety inspectors. Inspectors will be able to issue improvement notices where requirements of the codes are being breached, rather than just for breaches of the Act or Regulation.
Duty holders can follow another method, such as a technical or an industry standard, to manage hazards and risks, as long as it provides an equivalent or higher standard of work health and safety to the standard required in the code.
The standards set out in the codes will be directly enforceable, which gives clarity to employers managing safety risks, and to work health and safety inspectors when they need to take action against those employers not doing the right thing by their workers.
Thirty-eight approved codes of practice have been reviewed to support their status as the minimum standard from 1 July. This review was limited to identifying any legislative inconsistencies and technical inaccuracies requiring correction.
Codes approved after 23 October 2017 are now also subject to a mandatory review every five years to make sure they stay current with technology, emerging safety issues and changes in industry work practices. These codes will automatically expire after five years. Codes approved before that date remain in force, but will be reviewed over the next five years to ensure they are in line with industry best practice.
Codes of practice will continue to be used in court proceedings as evidence of whether or not a duty holder has complied with their obligations; as evidence of what is known about a hazard or risk and how to control it; and to determine what is reasonably practicable in the circumstances.

For Easter this year we're going to blog through the 50 days of easter on our way to Pentecost. Something I've wanted to do for a while and being spurned on some someone's remark that for as much as the evangelical church has poured into engaging the season of Lent – HOW MUCH more should we engage with the season of Resurrection! I'll keep it pretty simple with a focus on music primarily, but hopefully can toss in some art, quotes, etc along the way too.
The first week will feature songs meditating on the "He is Risen, Risen Indeed" motif!
The first song comes from my buddy Matt Boswell who is a pastor in Texas as well as a gifted text and tune writer – he also runs a great organization called "Doxology and Theology" inspired by our mutual mentor Hughes Oliphant Old.

Toward a Peace Process on the Korean Peninsula – Feasible Next Steps
Discussion by the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) in cooperation with the KF-VUB Korea Chair at the Institute for European Studies
After the Hanoi Summit between North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump in February 2019, talks between North Korea and the US have stalled. At the summit, the US side brushed aside the possibility of setting up a roadmap toward denuclearisation and a peace treaty on the Korean Peninsula. Instead, the US Administration put forward a lop-sided deal involving sanctions relief in return for full denuclearisation. While all sides declared their commitment to diplomatic solutions, a return to the negotiation table seems difficult at this stage.
During the panel discussion, key experts from South Korea and Europe will discuss feasible steps that might help to resume a diplomatic rapprochement. They will explore possible, alternative consultation formats – such as working groups of denuclearization and conflict resolution experts – which could be used to negotiate a peace process as well as the underlying risks of such formats. We will also focus which role the EU could play in resolution efforts in the foreseeable future.

Family vacation or vacation from family? All of us need a little bit of both – family vacations to connect and bond with everyone and some time away from family to plan, reflect and re-charge for the next onslaught of responsibility.
Margaret and I just returned from a 3 night mini-vacation from family in Chicago while attending a boat show. It was a nice little get-away to recharge and plan for things to come, but it was also a joy for us to come back home to a clean house and see that the kids really do care about their responsibilities.
Last week, at a our family meeting, we informed our 5 teenage kids at home that we would be going for a long weekend so we outlined a few things to get done in our absence:
1. Keep the driveway clean (of snow)
2. Shovel the snow from the roofs of 3 outbuildings
3. Keep up your regular inside chores.
I'm happy to say, everything was done when we got home. Not only that, but the house was cleaner than when we left!
Here's the way I see it: When you make the family meeting a routine (weekly) and let your kids know what's expected, they will reward you with their labor.

Cops hunting the dissident republican killers of Michael McGibbon have issued an appeal to try and find two men who called to his Ardoyne home the night before he was fatally wounded.
Michael, a father of four, died after he was shot in an alleyway close to his home in what is thought to have been a so-called punishment attack gone wrong.
The killing was later claimed by the 'New IRA' who admitted in a statement they had not meant to kill the taxi driver.
A year after his murder, the PSNI says they are interested in tracing two men who were at his door the night before he died.
The north Belfast news understands one of the men is known to the PSNI for dissident republican activity and has been involved in a number of attacks in the area in previous years.
Detective Chief Inspector Alan Dickson said: "We continue to carry out a thorough and painstaking investigation into all of the circumstances surrounding Michael's tragic murder. It was a particularly brutal and callous attack during which Michael was shot a number of times in the leg in an alleyway in a densely populated residential area. His wife Joanne desperately tried to save him by administering first aid after the attack, however, Michael tragically passed away following emergency surgery at the RVH.
"Easter is traditionally a time for families to spend time together and I would urge everyone to spare a thought for Michael's family who have been deprived of a cherished husband and father.
"One year on, and the McGibbons are still coming to terms with their grief, pain and loss. They deserve to see his killers brought to justice and pay for their ruthless actions.
"There is nothing that can justify or explain the senselessness of this attack, which bears all the hallmarks of a paramilitary murder. He was a man with no criminal record, no apparent criminal connections or associations.
"Those who carried it out have no legitimacy in this community and today I would like to mark the first anniversary of Michael's killing by appealing to local people to help us find them. Help us bring justice to the McGibbon family.
"I am appealing in particular about two males who called at the McGibbon home late in the evening of 14 April 2016. These men asked Mr McGibbon to step out of the house. When he refused, they stated that they would be back.
"The first male is described as in his early 20s, slim and was wearing a red hooded top, baseball cap and had a scarf over his face. The second is described as in his late teens, wearing a grey hooded top, baseball cap and also had a scarf over his face.
"I am asking these men, or anyone who knows their identity, to get in touch with police. If there is an innocent explanation for your presence at the house on that night allow us to eliminate you from this enquiry.
"We are grateful for the support and information we have already received from the community, but there are people living locally who know exactly who was involved. They are protecting murderers and we need to hear from them.
"Please phone detectives on 101 with any information or you can phone the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111."

By GREGORY ZELLER //
A Long Island-based communications cornerstone will manage a 911 emergency network and wireless 911 services affecting millions of U.S. customers, according to a series of new deals.
Melville-based Comtech Telecommunications Corp. has announced a multitude of new contracts with "a major U.S. telecommunications company" providing for various 911-related services.
The first deal – involving Comtech's Safety and Security Technologies group, part of the company's Commercial Segment – involves the implementation, maintenance and operational support of "wireless enhanced 911 solutions." The multi-year, $73.8 million contract covers solutions including the routing of 911 calls from mobile phones to the appropriate response agency and the delivery of a call-back number and location data to the 911 dispatcher, according to Comtech.
The company also announced three separate contracts, these involving the Enterprise Technology and Safety and Security groups, providing for the installation and maintenance of Next Generation 911 Emergency Service IP Networks in multiple states.
The three separate Next-Gen 911 deals, valued as high as $22.4 million total, include a two-year "initial performance period" and optional three-year extensions, during which time Comtech will service "multiple local, state and federal government customers," the company said.
Comtech President and CEO Fred Kornberg noted the company, which has worked with this particular major telecom provider before, was "pleased" to continue a relationship that capitalizes on the Melville innovator's technical solutions.
In fact, Comtech is already thinking about the next next generation of 911 solutions: In addition to supporting current 3G and 4G networks, the wireless-enhanced contract – which starts at two years and includes two potential multi-year extensions – provides for new services to support 5G networks as they launch.
"Public safety agencies across the United States are adopting more modern technologies such as IP-based communications including text, data and photos that enhance the speed and accuracy of first responders," Kornberg said, adding the contracts represented "a testament to the quality and high reliability of Comtech's market-leading Safety and Security Technology solutions."
This is hardly Comtech's first foray into emergency-call services. Among other emergency-contact deals, the company announced in 2016 that it had been awarded a five-year contract to install and manage a Next Generation 911 Emergency Service IP Network across Washington State.
The new deals, all announced during the Melville manufacturer's FY2018 first quarter, are already paying dividends: In connection with the wireless-enhanced contract, Comtech has received an initial funded purchase order aggregating approximately $17.7 million, and as part of the three other contract awards, the company has reported initial funded orders aggregating approximately $8.3 million.

Why Is Google Analytics Slowing Down My Computer?
Knowing as much as possible about website visitors -- without violating privacy laws -- enables a business person whose profitability depends at least in part on online traffic to analyze which pages receive heavy traffic, where her site's audience comes from and other statistics acquired through Google Analytics. The code required to receive visitor reports can appear to slow down the process of loading website pages. That appearance may not be reality, however, provided a site implements its analytics correctly.
How It Works
To use Google Analytics, you insert a small piece of JavaScript code into your website pages. The code includes the account number Google assigns to you and uses a property called "trackPageView" to correlate that number with the page that a visitor views. That page visit triggers a burst of information that travels back to Google Analytics' servers. Each time one of these JavaScripts runs, another set of information aggregates in your account, itemizing visitor behavior, including interaction with content elements, visit length, average page views, new vs. return visitors and the number of visitors who didn't stay for more than one page, otherwise known as the bounce rate. You can customize what Google Analytics tracks for you and how often it reports on each statistic.
Outdated Code
Duplicate Code
Other Considerations
If you watch the status line or window in your Web browser, you can see the names of page elements as they load. In addition to Google Analytics, many websites use Google-supplied codes related to other aspects of profitability, including advertising placements. When you see the Google name among page elements that load on a site that appears to take longer than normal or necessary to complete, the code in question may have nothing to do with Google Analytics.

In 1901, after coming back to Shantiniketan from the tiring experience of running a zamindari in Shilaidaha, Rabindranath Tagore wrote the short story Nashtanirh (The Broken Nest), a love triangle set in 19th century Bengal. The story, when published, did not receive as much attention as other works of Tagore and was later included in Golpo Guccha, Tagore's compilation of short stories. Sixty-three years later, however, Nashtanirh finally garnered the acclaim it deserved, thanks to a visionary filmmaker. In 1964, as a tribute to Tagore, Satyajit Ray adapted this short story into celluloid and named it Charulata. This cinema is considered by critics as Ray's best work. To celebrate Ray's art of adaptation we take a closer look into this wonderful work of cinema.
Charulata can be described as a meditative composition which portrays the inner conflict endured by its characters entangled in a love triangle explored in a masterfully nuanced manner—with a certain melancholic grace. The film starts off with Bhupati, a well-meaning modern man whose only interest is in running a newspaper, The Sentinel. His work keeps him away from his young and comely wife, Charu, the protagonist of the film. To give her company, Bhupati invites his cousin, Amal, whose infectious energy and literary bent of mind matches that of Charulata's. A deep bond develops between them over a short period of time. Meanwhile, at The Sentinel, Bhupati is betrayed by his own brother-in-law, Umapada, who manages the newspaper's finances. Seeing Bhupati suffer at Umapada's hands, Amal comes to the conclusion that his blossoming romance with Charulata must not come to Bhupati's notice as it might shatter the man. Amal leaves, Bhupati realises Charulata is pining for Amal, but all three maintain a dignified, melancholic silence.
Charulata is considered to be the best remodelling of literature to narrative cinema and is taught in most film schools under screenplay analysis and adaptation. Though it was based on Nashtanirh, Ray, who wrote the screenplay in addition to directing the film, refashioned a lot of the elements from Tagore's original text. As we know, a screenplay and a short story are two completely different forms and require very different treatments. The visuals of a film have their own language, which means that Ray had to improvise to tell the narrative in his own way. For example, Tagore's Amal was a demanding man. He is seen tormenting Charu to the point of seeming insensitive to her feelings and situation. Tagore's Amal seems almost needy. Ray, on the other hand, adds an endearing tenderness to the character Amal.
Charulata's and Amal's literary pursuits are another aspect of the story that Ray translated to cinema in a way that added both subtlety and sorrow. In Nashtanirh, it is literature that brings Charulata and Amal together, but Ray uses their shared love of writing to create a fortress of solitude for the two of them—one that kept the real world away, one in which they were equals unburdened by convention and hierarchy.
At the end of the film, Ray makes an obvious departure from the novella. In the book, after Amal leaves, Charulata asks Bhupati if she can accompany him on a trip that he's about to go on and when he hesitates, she says, "Let it be." Ray recreated those tentative steps that the couple takes towards each other as well as the melancholia with a wordless scene: Charulata simply holds out her hand and Bhupati hesitates to take it. The freeze frame shows a page of Bhupati's newspaper lying in the background; the newspaper that was once Charulata's rival for Bhupati's attention now acts as an instrument in bringing her close to Amal. Incidentally, this ending was actually not in the original script. Ray had initially envisioned that Bhupati would take Charulata's hand and the camera would see them walk to their bedroom, hand in hand. While shooting, however, Ray changed his mind and came up with the idea of a more open-ended scene.
Ray's work with the camera added another layer to the narrative, proving, once again, that cinematic details can sometimes tell more than the dialogue itself. Let's take the first few shots of the film, for example. Throughout the first sequence, Ray's camera unobtrusively follows Charu as she roams restlessly around the house, framing and reframing her in a series of spaces—doorways, corridors, pillared galleries—emphasising both the Victorian-Bengali luxury of her surroundings and her confinement within them. Though subjective shots are largely reserved for Charu's glimpses of street life, the tracking shots that mirror her progress along the gallery, or move in from behind her shoulder as she glides from window to window, give us the sense of her comfortable but tamed life. The only deviation from this pattern takes place after she retrieves the opera glasses. A fast lateral track keeps the glasses in close-up as she holds them by her side and hurries back to the windows, the camera sharing her devil-may-care avidity. We also see Charu in front of the bookshelf looking for Bankim Chandra's Kopal Kundala, while humming the name Bankim herself . This mid shot not only gives us a glimpse of Charu's character and intellect but also, as pointed out by Ray, pays tribute to a key figure of Bangla literature.
Music, too, plays a huge role in expressing the characters' emotions mostly through renditions of Tagore's own work. We hear the tune of "Momo Chitte", played over the opening images, and Amal sings "Phule Phule" which Charu later hums in the garden as they grow ever closer emotionally. Ray puts modern instrumental variations on the musical score. The blend of western classical music with Tagore's soulful melodies truly adds another layer of emotion to the narrative.
Like most of Ray's work, Charulata portrays a miraculous clarity combined with outstanding acting and theatrical composure and shot with natural genius. Considered to have the effortless fluency and delight of a Shakespearean comedy, Charulata works as a tonic for the eyes and soul, and is the kind of celluloid narrative that serves as the quintessential example of perfect transition from one medium to another.
