![]() It was nominated for autobiography of the year at Britain’s National Book Awards. His 2018 autobiography, “The Life And Rhymes Of Benjamin Zephaniah,” chronicled his life from the sound systems of Birmingham to the global stage. “I've been fighting against empire all my life, I've been fighting against slavery and colonialism all my life, I've been writing to connect with people not to impress governments and monarchy so how could I then go and accept an honor that puts the word empire onto my name,” he said. In 2003, Zephaniah rejected the offer to become an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, or OBE, because of its association with the British empire and its history of slavery. ![]() He had an array of talents, which he displayed performing with the group “The Benjamin Zephaniah Band” and acting in recent years on the popular BBC television drama “Peaky Blinders.” His television show “Life and Rhymes” on Sky Arts, which showcased lyrical creativity, won a BAFTA, Britain’s equivalent of the Emmy awards, for entertainment program of the year in 2021. ![]() Zephaniah also held honorary degrees from multiple British universities. Brunel described Zephaniah as a “national treasure” and praised the “immense contribution” he made to university life. Since 2011, he had been chair of creative writing at Brunel University in northwest London, where he was a professor. He also was a prolific children’s poet and a founding member of The Black Writers’ Guild, which said it was in “mourning at the loss of a deeply valued friend and a titan of British literature.” His writing was often classified as dub poetry, which emerged in Jamaica in the 1970s combining reggae beats with a hard-hitting political message. legal system and Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories. He would subsequently write collections focusing on particular issues, including the U.K. In his 20s, he traveled to London, where his first book “Pen Rhythm” was published. He was kicked out at age 13, unable to read or write, and learned to do both as an adult. The son of a Barbadian postal worker and a Jamaican nurse, Zephaniah imagined himself as a poet from a very young age, but he struggled at school as a result of dyslexia. “I admired him, respected him, learnt from him, loved him,” British author and poet Michael Rosen said. Arguably, he was the most well-known poet in Britain of his time, equally at home performing in school classrooms or at big political rallies. Widely recognizable from his long dreadlocks and his local accent, Zephaniah was never shy in espousing his views on bigotry, racism, refugees, revolutions and healthy eating. Zephaniah, who was born in Birmingham in central England on April 15, 1958, was a sharp-witted and often provocative presence across British media as well as regularly performing at political gatherings and demonstrations. “Benjamin’s wife was by his side throughout and was with him when he passed." “We shared him with the world and we know many will be shocked and saddened by this news," the family said. Zephaniah died Thursday after being diagnosed with a brain tumor eight weeks ago, his family said in a statement on Instagram.

Take your reserved slice of lemon and rub it around the rim of the glass and then dip the rim into the salt.

Enjoy your Blue Margarita any which way you want! Tips for making a blue margarita I also do not put ice in my glass as I feel it waters down the drink. I always salt the rim of the glass, personal preference, but you don't have to. Oh well!!! The most important thing is that we were able to duplicate it before the memory was completely rinsed from our brain by the Tequila. So far our efforts have not rendered anything. My husband and I have been wracking our brains trying to remember where it is we first had Blue Margaritas. It's important to use FRESH lemon juice only in your blue margarita recipe, no squirt bottle. You won't find much taste difference, but the color will really pop. It's similar to Triple Sec, a margarita standard. Why are they blue?īlue Margaritas use blue curacao.

Well say good bye to your funk and try my Blue Margaritas! The intense blue lagoon color will make you think that you are on vacation even if you are not. ![]() I am not really sure how I could do such a thing in a single pass without changing focus. Even more importatntly, I enter some text effects (like font size) directly via keyboard as code in the text box and some graphically with a mouse when video is focused. I might want to change the translation in order to fit it on the screen or just change line breaks. Let's say I am trying to translate a text sign. But even then I need to change focus frequently. ![]() I do not really use it for timing (I think there are better programs for that), but it is excellent for effects, so technically I do two "passes". I am not sure Aegisub enforces (or should enforce) such usage. When focusing the video, such a command would just silently fail. a way to refocus editing a line would we welcome.Īnother motivation is that when editing a line, any mistake I make (like pressing a wrong shortcut, that might not have anythign assigned for example) will result into editing that line and I have to delete it. I mean, I can reassign the function keys, but that is not necessarily the most ergonomic (and I might use the numpad maybe - it is true that since I first asked, I started to use an external keyboard that has it).Īlso, after using a video tool like dragging a subtitle (which focuses video), sometimes I need to edit it, change its size etc. My main motivation was to use single key shortcuts, which I cannot when editing a line. But if your suggestion is to put all shortcuts in default and never change focus, than I am not sure why the manual says that Aegisub relies heavily on the concept of focus when I am never supposed to change focus. Setting video/frame/next and prev under Default indeed does this. It was an early design in terms of Amnesia's development, with it being discussed at least two years before its release. The memorable splashes ended up being scary enough, but if there had been a "super big budget," Grip says the Water Lurker easily could have had tentacles squirming all the way out of the water, as if they were trying to grab the player. We have to figure out something simpler here." Grip wondered what the team could get away with, when splashes entered his mind. "Then when it came to actually making the monster, I was like S**t, we don't have time. That was the initial seed, having tentacle-something coming out of the water," Amnesia co-designer and co-founder of Frictional Games, Thomas Grip, tells me. ![]() So we wanted, or at least I wanted, something like that from the beginning. I think it was the first Star Wars movie when they're all in this waste disposal thingy and there's water and there's lots of garbage and there's tentacles coming up. It was actually inspired by, do you remember. "The initial idea was that there was supposed to be tentacles. It's petrifying.Īnd the monster? It's not even visible, and it's because of time constraints at developer Frictional Games. When you venture into the flooded archival room for the first time, it's easy to think, 'Okay, the coast is clear.' But soon though, you see splashing about. Its scariest monster is one that's become synonymous with it in the years since: the Water Lurker, also known as the Kaernk. In college, I fell into an accidental tradition with it: I would dive back in around Halloween time, play it for a couple hours, and then be too scared to continue until the next year.

Is there any way when creating a listing, to make that specific listing ineligible for am pleased to hear that the issue is, at least for a time, resolved for you. It seems like between the spammy Thank You coupon offer in messages and now this, we have less and less control over how we conduct business in our shops. I have had customers purchase ready made items from my shop, and then return for custom work, so the Thank You coupon would now be automatically applied to their offer. My abandoned cart coupon brought in a bit over 2k in sales over the past year +, my thank you coupon over $4,500. Which means now I have to disable all of my coupons, which help my revenue stream. They can they remove the coupon at check out, but that just seems so ridiculous and unprofessional for me to have to ASK my customer to remove a coupon from their cart. This system works really well for me, but now with this automatic coupon application, if a custom client leaves their custom order in their cart for a time (which they do) the coupon is then automatically applied. I then create a new listing and send the customer the link, and they typically purchase anywhere from right away to several hours later. ![]() I am up front about this fact when a custom order is set up, and I don't have customers purchase their custom order until all floral arrangements are done and I have final approval on all the pieces.

Right back from then in 1998 the game will crash at unexpected times(specially music changing times) and will slow down at times, make sure to save frequently The original devs of the game are long gone There are some hard limits the game engine had then, i doubt anyone can fix the engine issues. lol were you expecting something different ? this is not a hd re-release or something the game was released back in 1998 they just released it here now. Strange the game has not been tested before release. I sure hope thats not also a problem with this game. I have also experienced that the game suddenly stops and exits from previous iterations (not Steam-version, yet). Looks like there is some kind of trouble with compatibility. TundraStar님이 먼저 게시:Hi!
