The View from a Hill: Making Sense of Ras Dharbat Ali in the Archive
On 20 November 1933, John Gilbert Laithwaite, a civil servant at the India Office, received a letter from Trenchard Craven William Fowle, the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, in response to Laithwaite’s request for clarification on the spelling of a landmark in Dhofar known as ‘Ras Dharbat Ali’. In his letter, Fowle defers the matter to the Political Agent in Muscat, Major Claude Bremner, and encloses a note from him that is interesting for its moderate digressions.

Due to logistical complications brought on by COVID-19, Snellville Parks and Recreation has announced that the 2021 Snellville Days Festival has been canceled.
âThe COVID pandemic has affected all of our lives in one way or another in 2020, and now it seems clear it will flow over into 2021,â Snellville Parks and Recreation Director Lisa A. Platt said. âThere is no way for us to be able to create a quality event for our citizens and visitors under the current COVID pandemic situation.
âEven though the event is still five months away, the planning and support needed from sponsors, vendors and the uncertainty of large groups being able to assemble, it just makes this event not possible for 2021.â
