# Shakuntala (epic)

Shakuntala (Nepali: शाकुन्तला) is a 1945 Nepali epic poem written by Laxmi Prasad Devkota and published by Sajha Publications. It is considered to be one of the greatest works of Laxmi Prasad Devkota and Nepali literature.

## Introduction

The epic is based on the classical play Shakuntala by ancient Sanskrit poet Kālidāsa and is considered the first original epic in the Nepali language. Although it is based on an ancient work, the work has sufficient originality to be considered as such, specially compared to the first Nepali epic Bhanubhakta Ramayana which was a translation of Valmiki Ramayana. It was published in 1945. Devkota took just three months to complete the entire epic.

## Translation

Laxmi Prasad Devkota translated the epic into English himself. It was published posthumously in 1991.

## Adaptations

Shakuntala has been adapted into a play and performed by the students of Bidya Shankar School under the guidance of Sunil Pokharel, the director of Aroha Gurukul.
# Signal for Help

The Signal for Help (or the Violence at Home Signal for Help) is a single-handed gesture that can be used over a video call or in person by an individual to alert others that they feel threatened and need help. Originally, the signal was created as a tool to combat the rise in domestic violence cases around the world linked to self-isolation measures that were related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The signal is performed by holding one hand up with the thumb tucked into the palm, then folding the four other fingers down, symbolically trapping the thumb by the rest of the fingers. It was designed intentionally as a single continuous hand movement, rather than a sign held in one position, so it could be made easily visible.
The Signal for Help was created by the Canadian Women's Foundation and introduced on April 14, 2020. It soon spread via the TikTok social video platform and was adopted by the international Women's Funding Network (WFN). It received widespread praise from Canadian and international news organizations for helping provide a modern solution to the issue of a rise in domestic violence cases.
Addressing concerns that abusers may become aware of such a widespread online initiative, the Canadian Women's Foundation and other organizations clarified that this signal is not "something that's going to save the day" but instead is a tool someone could use to get help.
The campaign intends the signal to mean "reach out to me safely", and advises that if someone sees a person using the signal on a video call, they should contact the signaler by another means (such as a text message or email) to ask them what they need. The campaign recommends that contacting emergency services should only be done if signaler explicitly requests this. Asking yes–no questions will reduce risk and make it easier for them to respond.

# Delta Consolidated Mining Company

The Delta Consolidated Mining Company was an American mining company that operated a gold mine in Shasta County, California. A 3 ft(914 mm) narrow gauge railroad connecting the mine to the nearby town of Delta, California, operated for several decades.

## History of the mine

The company owned and operated the Delta gold mine, in the Dog Creek mining district, about seven miles west of Delta, on Upper Dog Creek. A stamp mill was erected on Dog Creek, near the mine. The orebodies were narrow quartz veins in greenstone, containing free gold and sulfide minerals.

## History of the narrow gauge railroad

In 1902, a 3 ft (914 mm) gauge railroad was constructed from the Southern Pacific transfer at Delta Station to the stamp mill some 6.5 miles away. In the middle 1880s, Delta had been the terminus of the California and Oregon Railroad, later absorbed by the Central Pacific.
A switchback was used to ascend to the flat table land above Delta, and from there the line pursued a gradual grade west on the north side of Dog Creek, maintaining elevation until the creek rose to meet it about 2 miles from the mill site. From here on, the grade was right at creekside.
For many years a Climax locomotive, called "The Doctor", was used for power and the only other equipment seems to have been a single flatcar upon which sacked ore was shipped to Delta for transfer to Southern Pacific. They were then taken to the smelters at Kennet and Coram for further processing. Today both of these towns are under Shasta Lake.
Operations on the line were infrequent, and ceased altogether in the early 1920s. The property fell into the hands of Cash Elder, who had been a mining engineer, and arrangements were made to dispose of the railroad. The locomotive apparently went to South America along with some rail in about 1928. The rest of the railroad remained largely intact until 1941 when it was pulled up for scrap.
Today nearly the entire right of way can be traced winding alongside and just below the present Dog Creek Road.

While dancing at the Cotton Club, Washington met Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Jr. The two were married in 1933 at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, where Adam Clayton Powell Sr. served as minister. Powell's father objected to the marriage, as Washington was Catholic, but she converted and the wedding drew 3,000 spectators.
Isabel Powell assisted her husband in his early career, during which he was elected to New York City Council, became the senior minister at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, and in 1944, he was elected to the United States House of Representatives. In 1937 the couple purchased a house in the Highlands section of Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, an African-American community in Martha's Vineyard. They were married from 1933 until 1945, when Powell, a Baptist minister, left her for his second wife.
