![]() ![]() ![]() His country was quite literally split in two and, as his shock turned to shame, a long search for truth began - one that would upend his entire life and turn him into one of the region’s most promising storytellers. It was February 7, 2011, and Sudanese filmmaker Mohamed Kordofani was sitting with his family in Khartoum as they read out the results to the South Sudanese independence referendum. In the case of “Goodbye Julia,” the Saudi-backed film that won the first-ever Freedom Award at the Cannes Film Festival last month, those questions were born in a single historic moment. “The exhibition is a memento not only of Syria, but of all countries in the world where a war is raging and monuments are being damaged,” Lukes added.ĭUBAI: Great art often raises more questions than answers. “I hope the situation in Syria has calmed down enough so that they won’t be damaged again,” he told AFP. The cooperation led to the creation of a joint archaeological team working near the western Syrian city of Latakia.Īfter the month-long exhibition, the artefacts will return to Syria by the end of May, Lukes said. “We started to help them by supplying material which was indispensable for them to maintain, conserve, transport and treat artefacts mainly from war zones,” said Lukes. Prague’s National Museum has been cooperating with Syria’s Directorate General for Antiquities and Museums since 2017. The exhibits include a gold-coated pin from 1600-1200 BC, bronze razors and a knife, as well as bronze and copper statuettes of ancient gods. “There are metal, bronze and iron objects and the funerary portraits from Palmyra,” said Lukes. Inspired by previous cooperation with Sudan and Afghanistan, the National Museum brought the twenty artefacts from Syria in 2022 and its team of six restorers took a year to repair them. ![]() Syrian government forces retook control of Palmyra in 2017 after the city had served as a stage for public executions, with many of its famed landmarks destroyed by the Daesh group. “These portraits were all smashed with metal hammers,” he added at the “Restored Face” exhibition. “Things get damaged by fighting, on purpose for ideological reasons, or by local people looking for something to sell,” National Museum director Michal Lukes told AFP. The objects include three limestone funerary portraits from the UNESCO-listed ancient site of Palmyra, which were damaged by Daesh group militants who took the city by force in 2015. PRAGUE: Twenty artefacts repaired by Czech art restorers after being damaged during the civil war in Syria are on display at Prague’s National Museum before their return back home next month. ![]() ![]() In 1838, Félix Dujardin noted owning a saltwater aquarium, though he did not use the term.

Many aquarium tanks also have plants.Īn aquarist owns fish or maintains an aquarium, typically constructed of glass or high-strength acrylic. A large aquarium may have otters, dolphins, sharks, penguins, seals, and whales. Public aquariums keep fish and other aquatic animals in large tanks. There are large public aquariums in many cities. Small aquariums are kept in the home by hobbyists. The aquarium craze was launched in early Victorian England by Gosse, who created and stocked the first public aquarium at the London Zoo in 1853, and published the first manual, The Aquarium: An Unveiling of the Wonders of the Deep Sea in 1854. The aquarium principle was fully developed in 1850 by the chemist Robert Warington, who explained that plants added to water in a container would give off enough oxygen to support animals, so long as the numbers of animals did not grow too large. The term aquarium, coined by English naturalist Philip Henry Gosse, combines the Latin root aqua, meaning 'water', with the suffix -arium, meaning 'a place for relating to'. Fishkeepers use aquaria to keep fish, invertebrates, amphibians, aquatic reptiles, such as turtles, and aquatic plants.

The game is so difficult that at times my wife(who works in childcare) would be watching me play and ask, “This is supposed to be for kids?,” admiring its difficulty. Many have criticized Nintendo since perhaps the release of Mortal Kombat for their commitment to kid-friendly games and say that their games don’t appeal to “hardcore” gamers, only “casuals,” but any play through of Tropical Freeze will help destroy this notion. ![]() To me, this is the real definition of “old school” gaming, satisfaction arising out of the frustration of play. The final boss of the game took me almost an hour to beat, and when I finally got the last hit on him, it was one of the most satisfying gaming experiences that I’ve had in quite some time. The bosses are very inventive even by Nintendo’s standards and are always a pleasure to play. None are easy, making every victory that much more satisfying. As Tropical Freeze progresses, it becomes more and more difficult, and each section is topped off by a boss battle, which are far and away the best part of the game.Įvery boss is unique and requires vastly different strategies to beat. While it can be discouraging to die so often, I actually never got bored with the levels that I was dying on, a testament to the game’s great and engaging gameplay. Over the course of playing its six worlds(I didn’t get to any of the bonus stages), I died well over a hundred times with some particular checkpoints being ones that I visited over a dozen times. A lot of reviews of Dark Souls say that it hearkens back to “old school” video games, and I’m here to tell you that Tropical Freeze is as “old school” as it gets, while also being beautiful, engaging, and exciting to play. That said, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a very hard game, so difficult that it reminds me of Battletoads(though it’s not that difficult). I’m not the greatest gamer, but I have the technical skills required to play any game and assess its difficulty. Regular games like Super Mario 3D World, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Half-Life 2, and Pikmin 3 are cakewalks for me. ![]() ![]() If I’m given an option, I usually choose the “hard” difficulty in a game to make things interesting. I’ve beaten The Binding of Isaac so often that a “mom kill” isn’t an achievement. I’ve beaten Dark Souls and Super Meat Boy multiple times and don’t consider them hard games. Often times the ideas surrounding and inhabiting a game are disconnected from the technical skills required to play, but in order to review Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, I’m going to need to display some street cred. Normally when writing about video games it isn’t necessary to flash any “gamer credentials” to show that I’m good at video games. ![]() ![]() The KACE Way is our commitment to our employees, to our customers, and to our communities.

Greater interaction and trade among people throughout the globe and continued demand for military interpreters and translators should also pave the way for increased employment in this field for years to come.

Job prospects are especially bright for those fluent in Chinese, German, Russian, Portuguese and Spanish. ![]() increases and globalization continues at a breakneck pace, so will the demand for spoken-language interpreters. Having a knack for marketing is beneficial for freelance interpreters and translators seeking to broaden their clientele. While interpreters work in schools, hospitals, courtrooms and conference centers, translators often work from home. The aim is to make the cross-language version a carbon copy of its original, which requires accurately recording the facts while retaining as much of the style and structure as possible. Translators rely on the power of a precise pen to convert written materials from one language to another. For example, those assisting non-English speaking individuals in a court room must have a concrete understanding of legal lingo, just as those working in a hospital should be well-versed in medical terms. Some settings require both fluency in a second language and the ability to interpret that language in relation to a field rich in its own terminology. Another set of interpreters works in spoken language. "To be fluent, that takes years," says Janet Bailey, former government affairs representative for the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf. Sign-language interpreters rely on a set of quick hands to relay a speaker's words to a hearing-impaired audience. ![]() ![]() While interpreters and translators both mold language to convey meaning, they shape it in distinct ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “My comfort zone is three times what I’m paying at wholesale,” Shannon told me about how she prices her produce.
