![]() All the while, they exude such chemistry between them that you simply can’t help but love their love for one another. It’s like they share a type of humour that is so specific and eccentric that only they really understand it. Sure enough, by the time I said hello and settled in, they had already cracked about 25 jokes (some with me, some at me, and some I still haven’t gotten…). I would need to be sharp as a knife to keep up with their cutthroat humour. Both of them are playful, funny and very quick on their feet. The conversation with this fun couple was undeniably entertaining, covering a wide variety of topics, including their hilarious first encounter, the biggest challenges they faced as a couple and the status of their plans for marriage.įrom my past interactions with Mohamed Farrag and Passant Shawky at several events, I knew I was going to have my hands full with this interview. eniGma’s Mohamed Hesham sat down with the fascinating couple to find out the secret to their success both on screen and off, as a long-lasting couple. With his convincing portrayal of a number of complex characters, as well as a wide range of emotions, in works like Taht El Saytara (Under Control), Aho Da Elly Sar (Once Upon a Time) and El Mamar (The Pathway), Farrag has carved a place for himself among the best in the acting profession while his fiancé, the beautiful, charismatic Shawky has proved to be a total scene-stealer in titles such as Qabil, Wanesny (Keep Me Company) and Lama Benetweled (When We’re Born). Increasingly recognised as serious actors with amazing talent, the romantic pair have become a favourite “it couple” on every red carpet and at every glamorous event. Rising stars Mohamed Farrag and Passant Shawky seem to share an unbreakable bond of love that keeps growing stronger.

![]() Linux and OS X do not face the same battle. Nobody is willing to take the plunge into Linux gaming after the Loki debacle. The Mac game houses are pretty well established and don’t look like they’re going anywhere. You’ve got pretty much a dead scene on Linux. To sum up, on one hand you’ve got a pretty vibrant shareware and commercial games scene on the Mac. iD’s John Carmack has come out and stated that there is no demand for games on Linux and the cost of the port is not recouped by the sales. Loki was in business for a bit, but they went bust. How many similar companies exist on Linux? None. Ambrosia, Freeverse, Macplay and Macsoft. How many shareware game companies are there on OS X, or companies that specialize in porting PC games to OS X? Off the top of my head, I count 4. There is a big difference between Linux and OS X when it comes to games. If every company used Wine as a target in addition to Windows XP/Vista, we would have every single Windows game available to run perfectly and NATIVE on Linux. The only thing required by a company for their games to work perfectly with Linux and OS X is to add Wine to their testing platforms. This means replacing API-calls that are known to work poorly with Cider with something else and make sure that the API-calls that are left work well. What EA is doing is to fix their games so that they run perfectly with Cider. And a substantial portion of the time, the reimplementation is actually slower than the original. This leads to compatibility problems and bugs. Unfortunately, Wine/Cedega/Cider isn’t always a 100% complete and the implementation isn’t always exactly the same as the original. So, if the Wine developers are good and do a good job at the implementation, it could turn out faster than the original. The DirectX to OpenGL “translation” is just what programmers like to call “wrappers”, and if properly done doesn’t have to add any substantial overhead. There is nothing inherit in Wine/Cedega or indeed Cider that means that games have to run slower. ![]() The Wine developers looked at the Win32-API and DirectX API and wrote their own version of it with the same interfaces as the original. Sometimes a reimplementation is faster than the original. It is just a reimplementation of Win32-APIs and DirectX. “Transgaming is faster than running the games native? It’s just fanboys doing what they do best, spinning in order that it might become true.” ![]() Diogenes said that there was one only good, namely, knowledge and one only evil, namely, ignorance. They loved him so much that when a young child broke his tub, they whipped him and granted Diogenes with a brand new tub.Īside from his ridiculous behavior Diogenes actually had some interesting and useful insights. He would continually say that for the conduct of life we need right reason or a halter.ĭespite his lude and rather inappropriate behavior the people of Athens loved Diogenes a great deal. He used to also say that when he saw physicians, philosophers and pilots at their work, he deemed man the most intelligent of all animals but when again he saw interpreters of dreams and diviners and those who attended to them, or those who were puffed up with conceit of wealth, he thought no animal more silly. ![]() The school of Euclides he called bilious, and Plato’s lectures a waste of time, the performances at the Dionysia great peep-shows for fools, and the demagogues the mob’s lacqueys. The Corinthians erected to his memory a pillar on which rested a dog of Parian marble.ĭiogenes was great at scorning his contemporaries. He gave instructions that when he died he wished his to be thrown outside the city wall on his death, so wild animals could feast on his body. Legend says that he simply got tired of living and decided to hold his breath until he died. He had a simple diet of onions and water and lived up the ripe old age of 89. ![]() He would cuss those walking by and beg for his food. ![]() He also lived in a tub on the side of the road. He was a self-appointed public scold whose mission was to demonstrate to the ancient Greeks that civilization is regressive. He should this deep resentment for social conformity by urinating on those who insulted him, defecating in the theatre, and pointing at people with his middle finger. He deeply resented the ideal that you had to conform to social expectation to achieve happiness. He was a firm believer in self sufficiency, or the knowledge that within oneself holds all the means to achieve happiness. Though Diogenes himself lived in poverty, slept in public buildings, and begged his food, he did not insist that all men should live in the same way but merely intended to show that happiness and independence were possible even under reduced circumstances. The family was viewed by Diogenes as an unnatural institution to be replaced by a natural state in which men and women would be promiscuous and children would be the common concern of all. He lived so strictly to this maxim that when he saw a child drinking from his hands, so he threw away his cup and said, “A child has beaten me in plainness of living.”įor Diogenes the simple life meant not only disregard of luxury but also disregard of laws and customs of organized, and conventional communities. It was this determination to follow his own dictates and not adhere to the conventions of society that he was given the nickname of “dog,” from which the name “cynic” is derived. He believed that personal happiness is satisfied by meeting one’s natural needs and that what is natural cannot be shameful His life, therefore, was lived with extreme simplicity and without shame. He is credited with his massive contributions to the philosophy of cynicism a Greek philosophical sect that stressed stoic self sufficiency and the rejection of luxury. He was born in Sinope, an Ionian colony on the Black Sea. Diogenes, also known as Diogenes the Cynic, was a Greek philosopher and one of the founders of Cynic philosophy. ![]() ![]() The pile is the surface layer of a carpet that you see and feel. So, we are helping you break it down into two of the types that you need to be familiar with: loop carpeting and twist carpeting.īut first, it is important to know a little about what a carpet pile is. This results in a variety of carpets in the market, and that can often make it hard to remember specific names and details when buying a rug. This has created a calm, serene living space.There are many technical terminologies in the rug industry that are used in the design and production unit. Next a few cleverly chosen accessories in shades of blue were added with pops of greenery to pull the room together. To create this look it started with drawing inspiration from the petals in the artwork, then the addition of La-Z-Boy's Euro Modular Suite in ‘Esther Oatmeal’ fabric paired with the Marin Nordic Recliner in ‘Bermuda Aqua’ leather. The next time you find yourself decorating a room, have a go at using this formula, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it really is.įirstly, pick a piece of art, then build your story around this. Think of the beautiful pinky/oranges of coral and find a throw with coral coloured tassels or a bone inlay photo frame in a similar tone. Use shades of aqua or teal in some accent pieces, such as a decorative bowl or vase. I’d start with textures and materials that evoke the beach like white washed wood or blonde wood a similar colour to the sand. Imagine a photograph of the beach - a literal interpretation of this is filling your house with beach paraphernalia like bowls of sea shells and miniature ships in glass bottles. ![]() Rather than taking the subject matter really literally, reference it subtly. Then choose some complimentary colours - these might be other colours within the artwork or a colour that works really well with your hero colour.ĭecorating a room based off the colour palette isn’t the only way to take inspiration from your art. ![]() Choose a colour within the piece and make that your hero – this is a colour that you can use as an accent around the rest of the room in things like furniture or decor pieces. Once you’ve chosen your art, take note of the colours and textures. Think outside the box of your standard countryside landscape and consider a beautiful abstract painting, a typographic print or maybe an unusual photograph. Forget the trends and look for something that means something to you. A rug, art and a great sofa should be at the top of your list, these are the items that are going to out last everything else, so it’s a good idea to really invest in these.įirst thing’s first - when choosing art, there is one rule that you must follow - choose something that you love. While there aren’t any official rules on the order, the best way to look at it is from a longevity perspective. One of the best ways to begin decorating a space is to choose a piece of art or a rug and build up from there.

This corrected for the left-right flip, and the non-vertical viewing angle (about 45 from vertical), but also introduced some vertical " elongation"of the image for the same reason Greenland looks larger than Africa on a mercator map of the Earth. ![]() * The image was then geometrically warped to meet the computed position information for a mercator-type map. * The contrast and brightness of the image was adjusted, and " filters"were applied to enhance detail at several scales. This processing included the following steps: * The image was processed to remove the sensitivity differences between adjacent picture elements (calibrated). Processing Image processing has been applied to the images in order to improve the visibility of features. The full image covers an area 2.7 miles (4.4 km) wide and 25.7 miles (41.5 km) long. The picture has a resolution of 14.1 feet (4.3 meters) per pixel, making it ten times higher resolution than the best previous image of the feature, which was taken by the Viking Mission in the mid-1970's. ![]() The " morning"sun was 25 above the horizon. At that time, the "Face", located at approximately 40.8 N, 9.6 W, was 275 miles (444 km) from the spacecraft. The picture was acquired 375 seconds after the spacecraft's 220th close approach to Mars. The images shown here were subsequently processed at MSSS. The image was processed at the Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS) facility 9:15 AM and the raw image immediately transferred to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for release to the Internet. The image was transmitted to Earth on Sunday, and retrieved from the mission computer data base Monday morning (6 April 1998). Shortly after midnight Sunday morning (5 April 1998 12:39 AM PST), the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) on the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft successfully acquired a high resolution image of the " Face on Mars"feature in the Cydonia region. |
