![]() We see the actual war through Filsan’s eyes. She looks at the crisis of a complete breakdown of governance and the collapse of human expectations through the lives of three women: Kawsar is old and defeated by the death of a beloved daughter nine-year-old Deqo is a waif, a survivor of a refugee camp and Filsan, an armed warrior who believes in the revolution but is finally also a victim of her choice. The extraordinary ability to get into the skins of her characters and give them lives of their own even in the most horrendous of situations is what sets this book apart. Her first book, Black Mamba Boy, which was short-listed for the Guardian First Book Award tells the story of her father’s journey from his homeland into the larger world outside. where she had the privilege of an English education. ![]() Her family had by then relocated to the U.K. Nadifa Mohamed was born in Hargeisa in Somaliland and this is where she sets her story, going back to the late 1980s with her country just about to be ravaged by civil war. Ever since Iman, an internationally acclaimed model, was spotted by an American photographer Peter Beard and placed upon the catwalk, the refugee camps have been fertile sources for hunting new recruits. It would not be out of place to add that Somali women have been famed for their beauty. As she has been quoted as saying, “If Ethiopia is old and sorrowful, Somalia is like a hyped-up teenager speaking a dozen words into a clutch of mobile phones, a different SIM card in each of them.” And for those who are hazy about Somalia, she explains in an article that appeared in The Telegraph: “There are three republics where one used to be, Somaliland, Puntland, Somalia but it is only the last that is internationally recognised.” In reclaiming the heritage of her Somaliland roots, Nadifa Mohamed, one of Granta magazine’s “Best of Young British Novelists” this year, overturns many of these knee-jerk assumptions. To be sure there are huge exceptions, the emergence of the Republic of South Africa being just one. where he writes: “In a decayed hole among the mountains in the faint moonlight, the grass is singing.” Since Lessing’s time, the number of fratricidal wars, famines and the rise of monomaniacal despots that have marched across the African landscape, has increased not just the sense of a continent doomed to darkness, but also a black hole of despair, if not backwardness. ![]() Was Doris Lessing referring just to a new awakening when she titled her first novel set in Southern Rhodesia as The Grass is Singing, or was she also channelling the imagery from T.S. The grass is singing once more in a multitudinous clamour from the African continent and this time it is the women who are leading the chorus. ![]() HDR display is only available on Windows 10. With the right version of FFMPEG you can even create animations in HDR! Having the correct computer setup for this can be rather complicated, so head to the documentation to see what is involved. kra or OpenEXR files, but also extended PNG. You can now not only save your HDR image in. Krita has been able to work with HDR images since 2005, but it’s now possible to view your HDR image in HDR, on supported hardware. HDR Animation created in Krita by Agata Cacko Until that happens, you might need to use the Linux AppImage instead of Krita as built by your distribution. The patches have been upstreamed but might not yet be integrated by your linux distribution. Note: we needed to patch Qt to make all of this work. This has improved support for multi-monitor setups, more tablets are supported and a host of bugs with tablets have been resolved. We finally managed to bring together the code we wrote for supporting tablets on Windows (both Wintab as Windows Ink), Linux and macOS with the existing code in our development platform, Qt. Updated Tablet Support for Windows, Linux and macOS Check out the brush packs that are available in the Resource area. If you create some brushes that you love, share them with the world by creating your own bundles. Import brush and texture packs from other artists to expand your tool set.

The image will make references of itself along the x and y axis. Press the ‘W’ key while painting to toggle wrap-around mode. It is easy to create seamless textures and patterns now. Once you are done creating your brushes, you can save them and organize them with Krita’s unique tagging system. ![]() Each brush engine is made to satisfy a specific need such as the Color Smudge engine, Shape engine, Particle engine, and even a filter engine.

If you use a feature that isn’t listed, make a quick video tutorial and let us know. The tools are designed for concept art, creating comics, and textures. This means that the other programs may have more features than Krita in general– but Krita has tools that are relevant to digital painting. The first thing to remember is that Krita is a 2D paint application while other programs such as Photoshop are designed for image manipulation. ![]() Go to Settings > About > Software Update to see if there are any updates available as these will often come with new features, performance enhancements, and bug fixes.Īpp updates are also worth downloading from the Google Play Store as developers are continually optimising and improving their apps. This is only a temporary fix, but if your tablet has been up and running for months on end without shutting down, chances are a restart may give it a little speed boost.Ī more substantial fix is to check your tablet’s Android software is up-to date. Simply press and hold the power button until you see the options to Restart or Power Off. Have you tried turning it off and on again?Ī quick restart of your Android tablet is the quickest way to clear cached data, close background apps and free up your tablet’s processor and RAM resources. Or upgraded apps and operating systems can become more demanding users of space. The reasons for this are pretty straightforward – tablets are designed to be left on for long periods, and over time their memories can become stuffed with unnecessary files.

Maybe they take a few extra seconds to load an app or start stuttering and pausing more than they used to. ![]() Just like us, Android tablets can become less responsive as they get older. ![]() We slow down, simple tasks take a little longer and new generations threaten to take our place.

Two dishes that are the star attractions of the ritual are kala vatana chi usal and dudh poha. We do puja, and only then is the Diwali faral eaten,” she shares. Then we do abhyanga snan - a special bath with utna and oil. “We wake up early and decorate the house. Home chef Rashmi Patkar, who runs The Dabbawali, tells us that among Maharashtrians, Naraka chaturdashi is a big day during the Diwali festivities. The halwa is ready to be served you can also have it with puri/bread. Once it starts boiling again after five minutes, sprinkle cardamom and nutmeg powder, and saffron strands. Add the sliced bananas and sauté for two to three minutes. Pop in cloves and cinnamon sauté for a few seconds. Peel and slice the bananas into quarter-inch pieces.

Krishna loved poha, so different variations are made, such as rosatle fov and kanda batata poha,” she says. Like Krishna, who was bathed with scented oils after the battle, at dawn, people take a bath with utna, a natural scrub. Before sunrise on Naraka chaturdashi, colourful effigies of Narakasur, filled with paper, grass and crackers, are thus burnt in Goa. Thus, the demon who ruled Goa met his end in the wee hours of the morning, and Krishna smeared the demon’s blood on his forehead as a symbol of victory,” she reveals. ![]() A battle ensued between Narakasur and Krishna, in which the latter cut off Narakasur’s head and slit his tongue. The people prayed and the gods asked lord Krishna for help. He began to spread terror, cause destruction and torture people. “In ancient times, the beautiful land of Goa or Gomantak was ruled by Narakasur.

Like replace the spreadsheets with the newer version of the spreadsheets in one version. I just don't think they respect their customers (and the engineering professing, in general) the way the old RISA did before it was handed over to Nemetschk.ĥ) I lobbied hard to change things incrementally. Maybe the first indication that some of us were getting "pushed out" by the soon to be new management.Ĥ) IMHO the new management is a bit arrogant. ![]() But, for some reason none of the other experienced engineers at RISA were given a say in what what happening. Some quick thoughts:ġ) It was felt that the RISA interface was "dated" and needed to be updated.Ģ) The interface was developed not by engineers who were familiar with RISA, but by a group of Ukrainian developers who (for the most part) were not structural engineers.ģ) It was supervised by Debbie (now the #2 person at RISA). I was there during some of the development for version 18. I worked for RISA for 16 years (ending in 2017 when Nemtchuk took over). They threw our knowledge into the trash and gave us a shiny new POS that takes us hours and days of wasted time to figure out. RE: RISA 3D V 18 Specific Complaints MegaStructures (Structural) 2 Oct 20 13:33 Enough for now, more specific comments later. It may be elegant in a phone to not know how or where to turn the thing on, but in frame-analysis it is maddening, and if it’s also expensive (as new risa is), you are paying for a mediocre, frustrating to use POS (piece of software). Old risa fit many more useful buttons on smaller screens and didn’t ‘bury’ items in menus. The hiding of menus and lack of expansion of same, the lack of obvious important buttons is really dumb given the larger screen areas that we have now compared to older computers. I can’t believe the stupidity of software hiding things and forcing engineers to ‘hunt and peck’ click and click just to accomplish what used to take one click. In the past month new risa has taken more then twice the time that old risa used to take. The new version has absolutely no regard for engineers who know old risa well – they threw our knowledge into the trash and gave us a shiny new POS that takes us hours and days of wasted time to figure out. New risa is none of these things and seems to have been programmed not to make a successful program better or maximize ease-of-use, but ‘change for the sake of change’ (and maximize the number of clicks to boot). The old risa was straightforward, sensible, intuitive, and user-friendly. If it is true that old risa was the most popular frame-analysis program in the USA, then I would say that new risa has done great harm to our profession. Finally, what's this flick without long and dishevelled hair smothering our hero? After this movie is over, viewers will want to seriously consider committing suicide.These are the impressions and the frustrations of 'an old hand' on using RISA 3D V 18 (new risa) for a month now. They may look dangerous but all our heroine has to do to destroy them is to give them a hard whack and they'll disintegrate into smithereens. Sweet Akane, the one with the shrieky voice that can break glass, which happens in this flick, goes underground to save her lover, but not before she runs around in an empty warehouse avoiding an army of gargantuan and ugly-looking hairy spiders. Her boyfriend Takanori (Koji Seto) also gets dragged into this mess, that is, dragged into the computer. There are also a couple of detectives lurking in the background. This goes on for awhile before teacher Akane (Satomi Ishihara) decides to intervene after her student falls from her condo unit. However, those who watch it commit suicide. ![]() A videoclip of someone committing suicide is making the rounds and everyone wants to watch it it's as if it's a sex clip of Kim Kardashian. ![]() The movie starts off slowly, and viewers may be mistaken into thinking that they are watching a documentary. All the victims will then shout and scream at the top of their lungs, but to no avail, as they will all commit suicide. I don't find it scary to see a thin white hand with long fingernails reaching out of a computer towards me. Before I continue, I just want to say that Sadako is uninspiring, tame, unoriginal and downright silly. Now, those who watch a cursed videoclip, of someone committing suicide, will themselves commit suicide. Sadako is the fifth in the series of horror flicks originating from The Ring (1998), in which those who watch a cursed videotape will die, no matter if they saw it on VHS or Beta. It's an insipid horror flick that's as bad as Seram Sejuk, which I reviewed last month. DEAR readers, I have nothing positive to say about Sadako 3D. ![]() Try to exit out of the app, and then relaunch it after you put the USB drive in the other port of the Wii.
