# The Silence (1998 film)

The Silence (Persian: سکوت, romanized: Sokut, Tajik: Сукут, romanized: Sukut) is an Iranian–Tajik film from 1998. It is directed by Iranian film maker Mohsen Makhmalbaf. The movie is about a little boy who has the onerous task of earning money for his family, but is always enchanted and distracted by music.

## Synopsis

Khorshid lives with his mother in a house near a river somewhere in Tajikistan. The landlord comes every morning to ask for the rent. Khorshid has to provide the money or else they'll have to leave. His blindness has given him an amazing skill in tuning musical instruments which gets him a job at an instrument making workshop. But Khorshid is mesmerized by sonorous music all the time; whenever he hears a great musician play, he loses track of time and place. This causes him to lose his place and have to work late. He struggles to find a balance between his love of music and his task as a breadwinner.

## Overview

Makhmalbaf himself divided his works into four phases in an article in The New York Times: "The first four films, made before 1985, are thinly disguised religious proselytizing. From 1985 to 1990, when the ruling mullahs loosened censorship enough to allow movies to focus on general social problems, his perspective changed...After this, Mr. Makhmalbaf largely abandoned traditional narrative...First, he made what he calls his philosophical films, then he made the recent poetic movies that have landed him in trouble with the censors." Sokout belongs to his poetic style of film making, where he gets rid of the shackles of classical narration and depicts some of his favorite themes by using symbolism coming from Sufi traditions.

## Sufism, music and universal truth

The movie is replete with symbols of Sufism. From the use of music to achieve ecstasy; the nature, and the broken mirror, the repeated image of the river, to the light coming from above, the symbolic representation of mystic interpretations of Islam appear throughout the movie. Makhmalbaf does not stay local on this matter. His use of Symphony No. 5 (Beethoven) shows that he deliberately wants to say the themes he is referring to are of a universal nature according to him, and not just mundane, ephemeral, matters. The broken mirror is an icon borrowed from Rumi, which represents only a part of the truth. Everyone possesses a part of the mirror, i.e. a part of the truth, and thinks she has all of it. But, of course to a Sufi, none of the parts equals to the whole truth. Professor Ridgeon is among those who emphasize extensively on the implications of the mirror in Makhmalbaf's movies, particularly this one.

## Censorship

The film is banned in Iran since 1998.

# Longmorn

Longmorn (Scottish Gaelic: Lann M'Eàrnain, St Earnain's Church) is a village in Moray, Scotland, famous for its malt whisky distilleries. It lies approximately 2+1⁄2 miles (4 km) south of Elgin, on the main road from Elgin to Rothes.
This village was once a small railway junction, and the beginning of the Birnie Distillery rail spur; the now disused Elgin to Craigellachie line then continued south to Aviemore and beyond. Longmorn station and its platform still survive and are in good condition. While the station house is lived in, the track is long gone. There are currently moves to clear the track to create a cycle path that would link Elgin to the Speyside Way at Craigellachie and from there to Aviemore and the National Cycle Network.
Most of the village is taken up by the BenRiach distillery (reopened 2004), and the Longmorn distillery. Relatively few people are employed in them and the village is mainly a dormitory of Elgin.

# Tim Hart (Australian musician)

Tim Hart (born 1984) is a Sydney-based singer-songwriter, better known for his role as drummer and backing vocalist of Australian indie folk-rock band Boy & Bear.
As a member of Boy & Bear, Hart had three top-ten albums in Australia: Moonfire (August 2011), Harlequin Dream (August 2013) and Limit of Love (October 2015), and five ARIA-award wins. Hart lists Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and current folk artists Fionn Regan and Sam Amidon as musical inspirations.
Through international travel with Boy & Bear, Hart explored his solo songwriting capabilities and crafted an album's worth of material that champions his skills as a lyricist and musician. While recording Moonfire (2011) in Nashville, Tennessee, and facing difficulties and hindrances in this recording experience, Hart made a conscious decision to make an album void of the pressures of conflict in the studio and focus on enjoyment and collaboration. "I was convinced that making records should be fun. I loved recording growing up: that's what I was looking for – and for someone I could produce it with... be collaborative with, experimental".
Through collaborations with multi-instrumentalist and producer Mark Myers, Hart brought the song ideas from tour into fruition. Recorded over two weeks in September 2011, Hart's debut album Milling in the Wind was crafted in the comfort of Myers' home studio in Cairns. The album, described as folk-inspired finery, features a number of familiar guests including Boy & Bear frontman Dave Hosking, ex-Boy & Bear bandmate Jake Tarasenko, the Middle East's Jordan Ireland, and New Zealand singer-songwriter Luke Thompson. The instrumentation of the album encompasses folk staples such as the banjo, flute and harmonica, and the innovative use of a tuned-down piano featured on the tracks "So Come the Rain" and "Wicked Winters".

Balbeg is also the name of another small settlement, located on the north west shore of Loch Ness, about 4 miles south of Drumnadrochit. The two settlements are sometimes confused.

## History
### Balmacaan Estate

Much of Glenurquhart was part of the Balmacaan Estate (also known as the Glen Urquhart Estate) owned by the Grant family of Seafield between 1509 and 1946. The estate was rented to the wealthy American industrialist and local benefactor Bradley Martin in the late 19th and early 20th century and flourished in the 1880s and 1890s, but went into decline after the 1920s. The estate then changed hands so frequently that the issue was raised in parliament. The best forestry wood had been felled during World War 2 and the estate was dissolved in 1946. Balmacaan House, near Drumnadrochit, was abandoned soon afterwards set on fire by vandals in the 1960s and demolished in 1972.
In 1946 Bunloit Farm was separated from Balmacaan Estate and Bunloit Estate was formed round it near the small settlement of Balbeg, located on the north west shore of Loch Ness, about 4 miles south of Drumnadrochit.
Glenurquhart, the valley in which Balbeg is located, used to be part of the lands of the Grants of Glenmorison, with the lands of the Frasers to the north for most of its time.
Balbeg, like Balnain, did not yet exist in 1832. The River Enrick, which flows through Glenurquhart, was known as Endrie Water at this time. Several buildings were erected during 1872, appearing on some maps, but not others. It was there by 1896 and 1878

## Climate

The weather is pleasantly warm and sunny in the spring and summer, cool and fairly rainy in the autumn and very cold and snowy (with some blizzards) in the winter.

# Nerses Bakur

Nerses Bakur (Old Armenian: Ներսես Բակուր, romanized: Nersēs Bakur) was the Catholicos and head of Caucasian Albanian Church in the late 7th and early 8th century.

## Election

Attested in The History of the Country of Albania, he was mentioned as a bishop of Gardman during the tenure of his predecessor Eghiazar. Reportedly he was elected after the influence and intervention of Queen Spram, wife of Varaz-Tiridates I.

## Tenure

A long proponent of Chalcedonian Christianity, the clique wanted to achieve political and religious independence of Albania through alliance with Byzantine Empire. However, he didn't proclaim it openly until 702. As part of reforms, he appointed his Chalcedonian ally Zakʿaria as bishop of Greater Arran bishopric (Old Armenian: Մեծ Առանք, romanized: Mec Aṙankʿ), succeeding previous Miaphysite bishop Yovēl. He also dismissed Israel (now bishop of Greater Kolmank) and Eghiazar – bishop of Gardman, Nerses' former seat. Rival clique was led by Sheroy – regent of Albania, as well as Yovhannēs (bishop of Qabala), Sahak (bishop of Amaras).

## Deposition

Nerses' reforms in church alarmed Elias I (703–717), the Armenian Catholicos to intervene and apply to Caliph Abd-al-Malik. Elias accused Nerses and Spram of swearing alliance to Byzantines and plotting against the Umayyad Caliphate.Nerses and Spram were caught by Sheroy exiled to Damascus where he died. His books were pillaged from his summer residence in Berdakor and was thrown into Tartar river.He was succeeded by Simeon who was installed by Elias. After Nerses' death, Caucasian Albanian Church became a subject of Armenian Apostolic Church.
