![]() Is there an explanation from filmmakers on why there were no English subtitles provided for this particular scene?įirstly, Coppola states somewhere in the DVD commentary that the actors spoke too quickly for the subtitles to be read properly and that was a distraction for the audience, so he let the scene play out visually instead. This scene appeared to be an important plot to the film. My question is, Why wasn't there English subtitles provided for this scene? The film is an American film with English dialogue. This answer provides the English translation for the conversation between Sollozzo and Michael. (Perhaps there is some non-English dialogue while Michael courts Apollonia, but I cannot remember) The Godfather is an American film and the dialogue is in English with the exception of this dialogue between Sollozzo and Michael.

We see empathy and worry in Vito's face, qualities that, we're starting to notice, are rare in Corleone men. Cut to Vito driving a car as Don Fanucci hops in, demanding a cut of the money Vito and his friends are making off of stolen goods. After Don Fanucci lays out the terms of the protection racket he's proposing for Vito, Vito goes and tells his friends. They mull their options and, ultimately, Vito says he'll reason with Don Fanucci and get him to take less, talking his friends into an agreement it seems like they don't quite understand.ĭuring morning celebrations at a big street festival, Vito meets with his friends to get their share of the money and assures them that he'll get Don Fanucci to agree to his deal. Vito meets with Don Fanucci in a dark restaurant, and offers him $100. At first, Fanucci seems offended, but after Vito offers a half-hearted explanation for coming up short, Fanucci shows his impressed. He says Vito has a lot of balls, and ends up praising him, telling Vito that if he ever needs anything to come see him. On his way out, he says Vito's done well. Vito doesn't seem to take much pleasure from this. Soon, we are in the middle of the San Rocco festa in the streets of Little Italy. As priests wade through the crowd and an effigy of the saint with dollars bills taped to it is carried through the street, Don Fanucci makes his rounds, greeting the people he so regularly extorts. Vito walks along the rooftops, stalking Don Fanucci from above. Don Fanucci watches a puppet show with knights battling and, ironically, says it's too violent for him and walks away. Vito, on the rooftops, grabs a gun hidden behind a chimney. ![]() From the roof, he enters a building-the same building that we see Don Fanucci walk into. Vito unscrews a lightbulb in the stairwell, and after Don Fanucci fiddles with it to make it works, he turns to see Vito clutching something wrapped in towels.

We flash forward to Michael returning to the Nevada compound in the heart of winter. It's quiet and dark, and from the dirty dishes on the table it has the air of having been suddenly abandoned. Michael finds Kay sitting at a sewing machine, but they don't even acknowledge each other. Michael finds his mother and asks if by Vito being strong for the family he ran the risk of losing it-clearly asking his mother if he himself will lose his family. ![]()

![]() He blasted stat budget cuts that landed Richards on a minimum-security prison, rather than a high-security lockup. Richards is a large man, standing six-foot-four and weighing 230 pounds. Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair, who prosecuted Richards, said he is worried for his staff and the family of Richards' victim, told the Daily Mountain Eagle. However, state no longer operates a farm at the facility. Richards was being housed at the State Cattle Ranch, which is a farm run by the Department of Corrections and once raised cows to feed to inmates across the state. 'We’ve been checking local addresses that would be familiar to him - the homes of family members and places he’s been associated with in the past,' he said. In Richards' home town, Sheriff Mark Tirey told the Jasper Daily Mountain Eagle newspaper that his deputies were on 'high alert' searching for the convict. Prison officials tracked Richards' scent with dogs, though the trail eventually ran out, according to Department of Corrections spokesman Brian Corbett.Ĭorbett would not comment on how Richards escaped. US Marshals and local police have fanned out across central Alabama where Richards, 42, disappeared but have been unable to find any trace of him yet. He was found missing from his bunk during an inmate headcount taken at 1.30am.Īt least one local official, who fears for the safety of his staff and the victim's family, says a minimum-security prison is no place for a convicted murderer to be held. It's unknown why Timothy Richards slipped out of State Cattle Ranch, a prison in Greensboro, early Sunday. Under the terms of his plea agreement Richards received a life sentence in prison, but would have been eligible for parole in May 2013 - just 13 months away. She is one of just four women awaiting execution in Alabama. Thanks, in part, to Richards cooperation, Johnson was convicted and sentenced to death. 'I don't think Tim would have ever spent a day in jail if he hadn't met Shonda,' Walker County sheriff's detective Joey Vick told the AP. Richards avoided the death penalty by testifying against his wife, providing investigators information about the plot. ![]() Richards pleaded guilty in 2000 to murdering Randy McCullar, one of his wife's two other husbands, as he changed a tire in the parking lot of a church in the small city of Jasper.

When P4’s I/O completed it got executed for 1 unit of time and then terminated.Īll the processes are now completed.Then again as only P4 is remaining and that too is busy in I/O, CPU will remain idle for 2 unit of time.P2’s I/O is completed so it got executed for 1 unit of time and got terminated.CPU will remain idle as P2 and P4 are busy in I/O for 1 unit of time.P4 is the only process remaining in the ready queue so its execution starts and after 2 unit of time P4 get preempted to perform I/O operation.Again P2 has higher priority so P2’s execution started and after executing for 1 unit of time P2 got preempted to perform I/O operation.And P1 again start executing, after executing for 1 unit of time it also gets terminated. P3 got terminated after executing for 1 unit of time.P1 got executed for 2 units of time and then the I/O operation of P3 got completed so P1 got preempted.So, P2 got preempted as P1 has higher priority and P1’s execution got started.When P2 executed for 1 unit for time at that time P1’s I/O operation got completed. P2 and P4 are present in ready queue but P2’s priority is higher than that of P4’s priority so P2 starts its execution.P3 starts its execution and got executed for 2 unit of time and then to perform I/O operation it got preempted.P2 arrive at CPU at time unit 2, but got executed for only 1 unit of time because P3 arrives at time unit 3 and have higher priority than P2.As, P1 got preempted at time unit 1 and next process P2 arrives at time unit 2 that’s why CPU remain idle for 1 unit of time.So, at time unit 0 process P1 arrives at CPU and get executed for 1 unit of time, because after 1 unit of time it has to perform I/O operation for 5 unit of time.

The organization proposes that people who are more vulnerable to drug use may start by taking more readily available substances, such as cannabis, tobacco, or alcohol.

If your waters break during a membrane sweep or cervical check, the womb is now opened up for infection and labor must start soon. I talk more about cervical checks in a series of episodes on the podcast, check out epsidoes 15, 16, 18, and 20 for more.Īnd the biggest downside of having a sweep done is the small risk of membranes breaking. It is very important that you tell your provider your stance on sweeps and cervical checks before they happen. The sweep without consent is the biggest problem, some providers consider a sweep a routine part of cervical checks in the last weeks of pregnancy. In one randomized trial, 165 participants with low Bishop’s scores were given a membrane sweep or not, and it was found that there was a significant increase in the average Bishop score 48 hours after- meaning the cervix was more ready for labor. There is even less data on whether or not a membrane sweep can help ripen or soften or dilate the cervix. Will a membrane sweep help dilate the cervix? Check out the podcast linked in the show notes for a better explanation of how the evidence is low quality. However, this is not the best evidence quality, the evidence is low certainty. They found that women in the membrane sweep group were less likely to have an induction. And 16 studies reported on whether or not the patients needed to have an induction after a membrane sweep vs not. In an updated Cochrane review by Finucane et al., published in 2020, they combined 44 randomized trials and 17 studies looked at the effects of membrane sweeping on labor starting spontaneously, and found on average you are more likely to have labor start on its own after a membrane sweep than not having a membrane sweep. The big question: How effective is a membrane sweep? Will a membrane sweep encourage labor to start on it's own? It can be done one time or many times during the last weeks of pregnancy. This isn’t something you need to go to L&D for, and you’ll go home after. Membrane sweeping is performed with consent during a cervical check and is done in office. So when providers are doing this, they’re hoping that they’ll help soften and ripen the cervix or kick start contractions to hopefully avoid a more formal medical induction of labor later on. The stretching of the cervix during the sweep may also release oxytocin and prostaglandins- the two big hormones in labor. It can increase your body’s natural release of hormones that contribute to cervical ripening or dilation, and promote uterine contractions. Membrane sweeping is performed to hopefully get labor going. This is really similar to a membrane sweep! Why do we do membrane sweeps? Then you insert your finger through the hole and between the orange/orange ‘membranes’ and the peel/skin of the orange and sweep your finger to separate the peel a bit more from the orange. Imagine you have an orange, you open the peel just a bit to fit a finger through. It involves the care provider inserting one or two fingers into the vagina and through the cervix, and then using a continuous, circular, sweeping motion to gently separate the amniotic sac from the cervix and lower part of the uterus. Membrane sweeping is a mechanical method of labor induction, meaning it is drug-free method and involves mechanics, in this case the use of fingers to stretch and sweep the cervix. No time to listen? Here’s the gist: What is a membrane sweep?Īlso called membrane stripping or a stretch and sweep. ![]() |
