![]() ![]() ![]() And another nice feature in the Nostromo configuration software is the ability to have multiple key mappings, for different task sets (which I have yet to use). I primarily draw/sketch in Photoshop, so my key mapping reflects that. I’ve configured mine to have easy access to my most-used tools. And the software of course comes in a Windows version for you PC users out there. ![]() The configuration software works fine on my Mac running 10.8 Mountain Lion. But for a device at this price it’s easily overlooked. I did find the materials to have a bit of a cheap feel to them, and the key presses feel a bit hollow. Being a huge fan of the recent Spring-Loaded Keys feature in Photoshop, I was pleased to find that they worked perfectly with the Nostromo. It took me some trial and error to find a good set of key command assignments for Photoshop, but once those were in place and I used the device for about a week, I was hooked. When he told me there were per-app key configurations, that sold me. Initially I was going to get a more traditional programmable keypad, but my artist friend and fellow digital art gadget geek Ray Frenden had recently picked up a Nostromo and loved it. If you’re a keyboard junkie like me (and even if you aren’t), you’re going to love this little gadget. The Razer Nostromo Gaming Keypad is my new favorite Photoshop tool/gadget/accessory besides the Wacom Intuos4 graphics tablet. ![]() ![]() I’m delighted that I had a chance to ask Rita Mae Brown a few questions. Tall Tail is available from Amazon and everywhere books are sold. While both authors excel at portraying immensely likable animal and human characters, I suspect that the animal scenes are written by Sneaky Pie rather than Rita Mae – after all, who else but a cat would have such insights into the limitations of the human mind? My favorite part of all the books in the series is the interplay between the animal characters. Rita Mae Brown is often accused of being preachy in the newer installments of the series, and she certainly isn’t shy about weaving her personal views into the book, but I found that interesting rather than off-putting. Even with some skimming through the historical sections, it was fascinating to me to see how the two storylines came together in the end. I won the Northern Beaches Commendation Award! Read It Won’t Come When You Call It.I found the historic parts of the story a bit hard to follow but thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the book.What to read, what to read, what to read?.(Thanks to my lovely friend Genevieve for putting me onto this series!) You may find a review of some of the books on this series here in the future – I’m sure I won’t be able to resist. Owing to limited space in my bookshelves and limited funds in my bank account I sincerely wish the entire series had been available as e-books. Until recently the second was also available electronically. ![]() You can buy the first book of the series as an e-book on Amazon. Overall, if you have imagination, a sense of humour, and a love of animals, I suggest you give this series a try. ![]() ![]() It’s the only downside to this series of ‘cozy’ mysteries with an edge all its own. Characters “cite”,”name” or “state” an explanation several times in each book. I think any reader who’d made it to page 113 in a book that also has a horsey flavour to it would have worked out for themselves that the Colonial Cup is a race. “She came within a hair of taking the Colonial Cup.” Fair cited a famous steeplechase race. This is an example: The conversation is between two characters is about horses and racing… Much as I have loved devouring this series (rather like Pewter with a ton of tuna in front of her), Rita Mae …er, Sneaky Pie … has a rather annoying way of pointing out the bleeding obvious to those among her readership who may not be particularly savvy or able to put two and two together with a degree of accuracy. Um… children’s books do not feature felines with a propensity for profanity: “Give me that back, you striped asshole!” These books are for adults, and adults with a broad sense of humour and fun at that. If you think you’re going to be reading a childish series full of talking animals, think again. Heroine Harry changes careers from postmistress to full-time farmer through the series she’s a very energetic person and I almost feel guilty relaxing with one of these books as her days are long and full – this woman doesn’t seem to ever rest! However, each book can be read independently of another. Supporting characters – and there are several regulars – also grow and develop. The human characters grow with the series, and Harry newly divorced in book one, falls in love again with her ex-husband over the series until they remarry. Out of the artists who have provided the drawings I prefer the superbly talented Michael Gellatly’s delicate and realistic work. The books are illustrated with line drawings of the animals. They are well thought out mysteries, laugh out loud funny, beautifully improbable and highly entertaining. I wonder that their owner Harry doesn’t get sued by the victims! The cats and dogs are the true crime-solving heroes and heroines, often taking on the villain with tooth and claw. The series is set in Virginia in the present day, and the animals assist human heroine Mary Minor (aka Harry) Haristeen out of trouble murder trouble, with Harry generally finding herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Would you want a cat who could read? You’d never hear the end of it! □ She’s assisted in her crime-solving by corgi Tee Tucker and grey cat Pewter (aka the grey cannonball as Pewter is ruled by her ever-hungry stomach).īecause this is a cat’s fantasy series, for want of a better description, the animals’ conversations are reported in English and these clever beasties can also read and do many other things you don’t even want to think of your cat doing. Heroine Mrs Murphy is a tabby (or tiger cat as she is described in the books, tiger cat apparently being American for tabby). ![]() This clever feline has, with the help of her human, written 18 books to date in this quirky series. Inside most books you’ll find a note from Sneaky Pie herself asserting that she is the author. According to the cover, the Mrs Murphy series is written by Rita Mae Brown and her cat, Sneaky Pie Brown. ![]() ![]() ![]() Python is also extremely slow in comparison.

While a network renderer is not perfect and does have some overhead. Old hardware that is still relatively fast can be used to accelerate your rendering or live preview. A network renderer allows you to use multiple pcs in your network to work on a single image or animation. Not everyone has RTX 3090's stacked up, and even if you do, you can only run maybe 2 in the same system. But as we're in a time where any modern GPU is effectively unobtainium, there is not a better time for it to exist.Ī render using SplitChunked render strategy on BlendFarms test blendfile at low samples/res for showcase. It consumed more time than I had planned. Originally I only planned on using it for myself, but decided to make it more production ready and release it to the public, and hopefully solve this for others. And should even work with future releases. Thus, I spend the last months writing and testing a stand-alone network renderer that requires barely any setup and should work with most if not all recent versions of Blender. When I was trying to build a render server I was suprised most network renderers out there for Blender are either outdated, obsolete or require very specific environments to work properly.

Arbitrary performance rhythms are learned by adaptive timing circuits in the cerebellum interacting with prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia. Learning and performance of regular rhythms exploits cortical modulation of beats that are generated in the basal ganglia. Performance begins when list chunks read word chunk and pitch chunk sequences into working memory. Songs are learned by associatively linking sequences of lyrics and pitches chunks. Bottom-up and top-down learning between working memory and chunking networks dynamically stabilizes the memory of learned music. Pitches chunks respond selectively to stored sequences of individual pitch chunks that categorize harmonics of each pitch, thereby supporting tonal music. Stored sequences of individual word chunks and pitch chunks are categorized through learning into lyrics chunks and pitches chunks. A canonical working memory design stores linguistic, spatial, motoric, and musical sequences, including sequences with repeated words in lyrics, or repeated pitches in songs. Stored invariant representations can be flexibly performed in a rate-dependent and speaker-dependent way under volitional control. One principle is called factorization of order and rhythm: Working memories store sequential information in a rate-invariant and speaker-invariant way to avoid using excessive memory and to support learning of language, spatial, and motor skills.

Don't tell anyone! God help if your father or the rest of Egypt finds out. We learn about his mother's breast cancer, death of his baby sister and the history of his Holocaust survivor grandparents, as well as his many traumatic experiences with gay men – including a closeted man who once implied he would shoot Sharif if he outed him. He once eviscerated him at a dinner in front of complete strangers: "You want to be something, but you are never going to be anything like I was because you will always be a failure!" Some of its most heartbreaking moments feature the elder Sharif in Alzheimer's-induced confused states, treating the grandson he loves horribly. The organization Human Rights Watch says LGBT people were still being detained in inhumane conditions and tortured in Egypt as of October 2020.īut the book, as the title suggests, tries to tell the tale of two Omars. The late Sharif, who died in 2015, was almost banned following his affair with "Funny Girl" co-star Barbra Streisand during the Six-Day War between Egypt and Israel. Nonetheless, court cases were filed aiming to revoke his Egyptian citizenship and ban him from the country – another way he and his grandfather are alike. In case you missed: How three Jewish and Arab families swapped kidneys, saved their mothers and made history The letter was met with ridicule internationally – especially in Egypt and from his own father, who told him he basically gave up everything by coming out and disclosing he was Jewish. Despite the vitriol, he received an outpouring of support from LGBTQ people who finally felt seen. "I write this article because I am not unique in Egypt and because many will suffer if a basic respect for fundamental human rights and equality is not embraced by Egypt's new government," the letter reads. "Nearly three months went by before I published it, and still I really struggled." Writing the letter "took time, thought and reflection," he writes. Sharif Jr. is perhaps best known for coming out in a personal essay for LGBTQ outlet " The Advocate" in 2012, about a year after the Arab Spring began. The book also loses its way in its attempts to capture the weight of who his prolific grandfather was. But despite shared growing pains, most won't relate to his specific privileges. Sharif's memoir grips you for sure – sending you on international adventures and even to the Oscars stage – and could indeed help someone grappling with their sexuality. The grandson of late actor Omar Sharif ("Lawrence of Arabia," "Doctor Zhivago"), and Egyptian Canadian actor and model, details his meandering and melancholy – but ultimately meaningful – journey in new memoir "A Tale of Two Omars: A Memoir of Family, Revolution, and Coming Out During the Arab Spring" (Counterpoint, 209 pp., ★★½ out of four).
