Keenan fell in love with the sport in 2009, when he was on holiday in the area, and in 2015 he set up his own freediving centre with two friends, Dahab Freedivers, training people to dive in and around The Blue Hole.Īccording to reports, the extremely capable Keenan was AIDA, PADI and EFR trained and taught hundreds of divers over the years, and he became chief of safety at various freediving events and organisations such as Vertical Blue Freediving Competitions, and other competitions around the world. Keenan was a safety diver – that is, someone who accompanied the freedivers on their dives, and who would be on hand to help them when the effects of the lack of oxygen can take hold in ascending too quickly, causing the diver to blackout or fall unconscious. She eventually met up with Stephen Keenan, who was born and raised in Glasnevin, near Dublin. The Italian freediver, Alessia Zecchini, “had a supernatural power with freediving” from a young age, says a friend in the documentary.

Fervidly recommended to all readers of the fantasy genre." - Booklist (starred review) on Empire of Gold "With musical prose, majestic settings, and an epic story, Chakraborty's finale to a trilogy will ignite passion in her many fans. And her portrayal of the cultural conflicts in the magical city of Daevabad and of Ali's inner turmoil is compelling and complex, serving as a strong counterpoint to the thrilling action." - Washington Post on City of Brass "Chakraborty writes a winning heroine in Nahri-flawed but smart and engaging. " The City of Brass reads like an invitation for readers from Baghdad to Fairbanks to meet across impossibly divergent worlds through the shared language and images of the fantastical." - New York Times Book Review I enjoyed the novel hugely, and I just ordered the second and third books in the trilogy so I may continue the adventure." - George R. Instead of drawing on the European Dark Ages and Middle Ages, Chakraborty evoked the flavours of the Middle East and Arabian Knights and the legends of the djinns. Her style is vivid and colourful and very readable. "I loved the protagonist, there was a nice cast of supporting characters, and the plot had some twists and turns that I did not see coming. as it showcases her amazing characters and lush world one more time." - Library Journal on The River of Silver "If this is the last we see of Chakraborty's wildly unique magical world, it is certainly a gleaming and precious gift." - Paste Magazine on The River of Silver From Manizheh's first steps towards rebellion to adventures that take place after The Empire of Gold, this is a must-have collection for those who can't get enough of Nahri, Ali, and Dara and all that unfolded around them.

A place where djinn live and thrive, fight and love. Explore this magical kingdom, hidden from human eyes. Now together in one place, these stories of Daevabad enrich a world already teeming with magic and wonder. The River of Silver gathers material both seen and new-including a special coda fans will need to read-making this the perfect complement to those incredible novels. Chakraborty's acclaimed Daevabad Trilogy gets expanded with this new compilation of stories from before, during, and after the events of The City of Brass, The Kingdom of Copper, and The Empire of Gold, all from the perspective of characters both beloved and hated, and even those without a voice in the novels.

10/31/2023 0 Comments Folio society wuthering heightsWho is worse, the one who unabashedly displays his moral failings, or the one who doesn’t even notice them?Īnd then there is the question of where the moral center of the story truly lies. These small moral slidings may seem minor in comparison to the grand depravity of a Heathcliff, but are they really? Oh Emily, you are clever indeed. No mere detached narrator, she lies, withholds information, and manipulates situations - with the best intentions, no doubt, but often in her own self-interest as well. As I started to look elsewhere for the actual human impact of the story, I began to realize how brilliant and multi-layered this novel is.įor instance, this time I noticed how involved and culpable Nelly Dean, who tells most of the story, actually is. Yes, Heathcliff and Catherine say and do terrible things, but it’s almost like watching a great storm sweeping over the Yorkshire landscape: their tremendous, alien passions make them more akin to a force of nature than human beings. Maybe because I was prepared for the perplexing and grim aspects, I didn’t find it overly perplexing or grim at all. One more time, why not? And to my surprise, I found myself really enjoying it. Then Girl with Her Head in a Book invited me to her December readalong, and I said yes. I love Charlotte, I appreciate Anne, but Emily and I do not connect - I thought. The last time I decided I probably wouldn’t pick it up again. I’ve read Wuthering Heights several times since then, but still found it a depressing story about unlikeable people. I’m sure that most of the passion and drama went right over my fifteen-year-old head. I remember being struck by Catherine’s declaration “I am Heathcliff,” and including it in an essay, although I have no idea what else I wrote about. All the characters with similar names, who persisted in marrying each other in various combinations, were terribly confusing, not to mention the complicated double framing device and the baffling Yorkshire dialect. I first read it in high school as one of the required texts for my British Lit class (the gloomy purplish Signet Classics cover is still stamped on my brain). Wuthering Heights has never been my favorite Bronte novel. He is survived by me and by his sister Ros.Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights (1847, Folio Society, 1991) Peter and I met in 1973 and we entered into a civil partnership in 2006, one of the first to be registered in Hackney in east London. In his essay Portrait of the Wood Engraver in Middle Age, he wrote, “I do not believe in the life to come but know that opening the south door of a village church and stepping down into the cool, whitewashed interior is one of the sweetest things in life, a sensation unchanged since schooldays the experience of the life that was.” He would take his bicycle to visit churches and other historic buildings. In 2007 he met a young biochemical engineer, Pedro Lebre, whose friendship became a major feature of our lives until Peter’s death. In the last 20 years his focus shifted from wood engraving to watercolours, both abstract and pictorial.ĭespite being shy, he had a gift for friendship. The BBC made a film of him at work on a print of Lord Reith (as a stag) that was broadcast in the mid 1980s. There were also illustrations for The Ballad of Reading Gaol.Īmong Peter’s other colour prints was the series A New Temple of British Worthies, which included Florence Nightingale, the Queen Mother, Charles I and Jane Austen. He was able to study the fragile original manuscript thanks to the help of his friend Merlin Holland (Wilde’s grandson). Peter also had a great interest in Oscar Wilde, leading him to edit and illustrate an edition of De Profundis for the Folio Society in 1991.

10/31/2023 0 Comments Online color code generatorThis means that if the alpha channel has a value of 255 (opaque), it does not represent a transparent pixel. In addition, the alpha channel can be accessed in order to make an image transparent. The RGBA color space is used to calculate the color of each pixel that can be displayed on the screen. Equal values of each channel are represented by the same color in the RGBA color space, but the combination of different values of each channel leads to different colors. Also, if the value of each channel is set to 0, the color of the visualized color space results in black. For example, if the value of each channel is set to 255, the color of the visualized color space results in white. In the RGBA color space, the alpha channel is considered the same as a fourth channel, and the light intensity of each channel is equal to the value of each channel. This means that the alpha channel is composed of 256 levels of transparency, where 0 represents the maximum level of transparency, and 255 represents the maximum level of opacity. The alpha channel can be displayed as a grayscale image. In RGBA, the transparency information is stored in the alpha channel, and the color information is stored in the three RGB channels. An RGBA color is composed of four channels, where each channel is represented by 8 bits. The RGBA color space is a color space that includes an extra channel (alpha channel) for representing the transparency information of an image.

RGB 0-1 or Float RGB is another alternative representation of RGB colors that uses three decimal numbers between 0 and 1 to represent the color: one each for red, green, and blue, and one for an optional alpha channel. To pick RGB 565 colors, check out our RGB 565 Color Picker. This color space is used in some embedded systems, such as microcontrollers. RGB 565 is an alternative representation of RGB colors that uses 16 bits to represent the color: 5 bits for red, 6 bits for green, and 5 bits for blue.

Welcome to the Remote Learning Pack for Lockdown March 2021 - April 2021 CLASS 3 (YEAR 5 / YEAR 6) However, with repeated military defeats and episodes of exile and dislocation culminating in the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, Jewish thinkers began to lose hope in any immediate change, instead investing greater expectations in a messianic future and in life after death. Beginning in the period following the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem (586 BCE), several of the classical Israelite prophets ( Amos, Hosea, and Isaiah) began forecasting a better future for their people. The development of the concept of life after death is related to the development of eschatology (speculation about the “end of days”) in Judaism. The Temple’s Destruction and the World to Come In fact, the more pessimistic books of the Bible, such as Ecclesiastes and Job, insist that all of the dead go down to Sheol, whether good or evil, rich or poor, slave or free man (Job 3:11-19). While this vision of Sheol is rather bleak (setting precedents for later Jewish and Christian ideas of an underground hell) there is generally no concept of judgment or reward and punishment attached to it. The suggestion is that in the netherworld of Sheol, the deceased, although cut off from God and humankind, live on in some shadowy state of existence. It is described as a region “dark and deep,” “the Pit,” and “the Land of Forgetfulness,” where human beings descend after death. There are, however, several biblical references to a place called Sheol (cf. This is the case with such central figures as Abraham, Moses, and Miriam. The subject of death is treated inconsistently in the Bible, though most often it suggests that physical death is the end of life. While in traditional Jewish thought the subjects of heaven and hell were treated extensively, most modern Jewish thinkers have shied away from this topic, preferring to follow the biblical model, which focuses on life on earth. Like other spiritual traditions, Judaism offers a range of views on the afterlife, including some parallels to the concepts of heaven and hell familiar to us from popular Western (i.e., Christian) teachings.
