![]() ![]() Better knowledge of ocean bathymetry, island and coastal topography, and the transfer of energy between slide blocks and water also contributed to more accurate modeling. Studies of landslide-induced waves show that they travel at different speeds and interact more across long distances, leading to smaller wave height far from their sources. Tsunami modeling has also advanced considerably since 2001. In addition, geomorphologists found, via slope stability analysis, that the potential collapse volume is much smaller than was simulated by the 2001 paper. Ocean floor mapping surrounding the Canary Islands, however, indicates that collapses instead occur in incremental or piecemeal fashion. The Canary Islands “mega-tsunami” scenario assumed a single, coherent, massive collapse block that reached a high velocity very quickly. This scenario made headlines in the media, which inaccurately depicted a huge wave devastating New York City.īut can collapses actually generate these “mega-tsunami” far from their sources? Subsequent research casts doubt on this idea. In 2001, an academic paper suggested that collapse of La Palma could result in tsunami waves up to 25 m (about 80 feet) high along the east coasts of North and South America. From this understanding grew a notion that collapsing volcanoes-particularly in the Canary Islands-could generate ocean-wide “mega-tsunami.” ![]() The eruption style is similar to Hawaiian eruptions, and both locations share the potential for flank collapse and tsunami.īasaltic ocean islands, such as the Island of Hawai‘i and the Canary Islands, tend to experience catastrophic landslides every few hundred thousand years-a discovery first made by USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory Scientist-in-Charge Jim Moore in the early 1960s! A significant portion of an island is removed during collapse and has the potential to displace tremendous amounts of seawater, generating local tsunami waves that are thought to be over 100 meters (300 feet) high. “Volcano Watchers” are probably aware that an eruption began on La Palma in the Canary Islands on September 19. Lava deltas are built by the accumulation of lava near the base of the sea cliff at an ocean entry. One of the lava flows is entering the ocean, creating new land called a lava delta. This aerial photo, courtesy of Radio Televisión Canaria, shows lava flows that are being generated by a fissure eruption upslope on La Palma. Like Hawaiian volcanoes, La Palma typically erupts lava flows. La Palma is a basaltic shield volcano in the Canary Islands. ![]()

The Pixel Fold is powered by Google’s custom Tensor G2 chip, the same processor found in the Pixel 7 lineup, and it runs a version of Android 13 optimized for foldable phones that adds split-screen multitasking and a taskbar. ![]() Days of lighter usage saw closer to 30 hours on a charge, which is a fair amount more than I’ve gotten with just about any current flagship Android phone. During two days of heavy usage consisting of hours of YouTube streaming, gaming, and checking emails, TikTok, and Instagram, the device had about 16% battery life left when I went to sleep around midnight. Google says the Pixel Fold can last 24 to 33 hours on a charge, which is consistent with what I experienced in testing. With two screens, such a device’s battery life could be hit or miss. As someone with larger hands, I find it difficult to use the Galaxy Z Fold 4 for anything else without having to open the phone. The outer screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is too narrow for me to do much besides read emails and do some light web browsing. The Pixel Fold’s wider dimensions make it easier for me to write emails, watch videos, take photos, and play games on the exterior screen, without even having to unfold the phone to use its bigger display. I much prefer the short and wide design of Google’s folding phone over the long and narrow design of Samsung’s. (Then again, neither does the iPhone 14.) Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 4, the Pixel Fold actually closes completely with no noticeable gap, which creates a more streamlined look and protects the screen more effectively when the device is in a pocket or bag. Similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 4, the Pixel Fold doesn’t lie completely flat when it’s open due to its camera bump. The Pixel Fold’s polished stainless steel hinge is fairly stiff when I open it-and it’s more rigid than the one in the Galaxy Z Fold 4-but it opens and closes reasonably easily. ![]() On-screen motion is smooth, colors are bright, and the contrast is great. Both the exterior and internal displays are more than bright enough for use in direct sunlight, on a par with the Pixel 7 Pro’s screen. But I found myself getting used to the crease after just a short time with the device. I’ll cut right to the chase: Yes, the Pixel Fold has a visible crease dead center where the phone opens, just like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 does. The Pixel Fold has a responsive 5.8-inch exterior touchscreen that opens to reveal a large, 7.6-inch interior display-essentially a small tablet. However, similar to rival foldables from companies like Samsung, the Pixel Fold is extremely expensive, and most people shouldn’t spend $1,800 on it when other phones offer a great experience for much less. It’s well built, the hybrid tablet/phone experience works almost exactly how it should-aside from some minor software hiccups-and it takes the best selfies of any phone I’ve ever used.

The spell’s unpredictable magic results in a difficult journey. Generally, you appear in the closest similar place, but since the spell has no range limit, you could conceivably wind up anywhere on the plane. If you are heading for your home laboratory, for example, you might wind up in another wizard’s laboratory or in an alchemical supply shop that has many of the same tools and implements as your laboratory. You and your group (or the target object) wind up in a different area that’s visually or thematically similar to the target area. If you were teleporting to a coastal city and wound up 18 miles out at sea, you could be in trouble. ![]() The GM determines the direction off target randomly by rolling a d8 and designating 1 as north, 2 as northeast, 3 as east, and so on around the points of the compass. For example, if you tried to travel 120 miles, landed off target, and rolled a 5 and 3 on the two d10s, then you would be off target by 15 percent, or 18 miles. Distance off target is 1d10 × 1d10 percent of the distance that was to be traveled. You and your group (or the target object) appear a random distance away from the destination in a random direction. You and your group (or the target object) appear where you want to. Perhaps you tried to scry an enemy’s sanctum but instead viewed an illusion, or you are attempting to teleport to a familiar location that no longer exists. “False destination” is a place that doesn’t exist. “Description” is a place whose location and appearance you know through someone else’s description, perhaps from a map. “Viewed once” is a place you have seen once, possibly using magic. “Seen casually” is someplace you have seen more than once but with which you aren’t very familiar. “Very familiar” is a place you have been very often, a place you have carefully studied, or a place you can see when you cast the spell. “Associated object” means that you possess an object taken from the desired destination within the last six months, such as a book from a wizard’s library, bed linen from a royal suite, or a chunk of marble from a lich’s secret tomb. “Permanent circle” means a permanent teleportation circle whose sigil sequence you know. The GM rolls d100 and consults the table. Your familiarity with the destination determines whether you arrive there successfully. ![]() The destination you choose must be known to you, and it must be on the same plane of existence as you.

The actual physicality of an acoustic bass is also probably worth considering. They respond really well to fingerstyle playing, though of course you can use a pick if you want. The bronze strings and the rich, woody construction give them, well, a rich and woody tone! You can get a really nice attack with an acoustic bass, followed by a lovely, warm and mellow sound. They offer a very different tone to an electric. It’s plugged in that you’ll probably get the most from one of the best acoustic bass guitars. That said, an acoustic bass doesn’t project loads, which is why you’ll usually see them fitted with a pickup. This makes them the ideal choice if you know you’re going to be playing unplugged fairly often.

The Koa makes it sound warm and mellow, but with lots of clarity and detail. It’s compact, easy to take around and most of all it sounds great.

Well, let me tell you, my friends, music has a way of bringing people together like nothing else. I've been known to break out into song and dance in the middle of a mission. And what better way to do that than through the power of music? I absolutely love music, and everything related to it. So, I decided to come to Earth and help you guys out. Let's just say things got a little too hot to handle, and we had to find a new place to call home. See, back on Mars, we had a bit of a mishap with our own planet.

The three graces are not the main characters but the ordinary participants in the great event called Paris. The city of Paris showed us that the essence of painting is all of colors and lights. The eyes of the nude are very attracting.ĭuring the destructive period, Robert Delaunay had already departed from the Cubist line and turned to the blurry smear Post-impressionist. In his art, the stylistic woman is seen lying on a bed. Modigliani is well known for his series of nude sprawling women paintings. After lots of trials and obstacles, the two culprits got immortalized and the two in love beings as portrayed in the painting ascended to heaven where they married and remained happily after that. The unexpected or rather the expected to us happened! Instead, Cupid fell in love with Psyche. Out of rage, Goddess Venus ordered Cupid her son lure Psyche to make love with a beast. The inspiration behind the Abduction of Psyche painting was based on the Latin novel, not surprisingly known as the Golden Ass! In the myth, Princess Psyche couldn't fathom the fact that Goddess Venus was earning more beauty accolades than herself. The Abduction of Psyche 1895 by William-Adolphe Bouguereau For the mermaid, the endless murmur of waters couldn't be compared to the sounds of humans and this creature couldn't enjoy the joy of womanhood.Ĥ. The painting in a symbolic way explains the ever insatiable human longings. Any relationship between sailors and mermaids was doomed as mermaids couldn't leave in a human land and sailors couldn't live in water. In the painting, the mermaid is seen sitting on the shores rather lonely and caressing her hair while her lips seem to be melancholy singing a song. In the old days, mermaids were known to lure sailors to death with their enchanting bodies and songs. Waterhouse portrayed the fierce and dark mythology of mermaids. A Mermaid 1900 by John William Waterhouse No one may know the subject of the composition, but suggestions are made that it probably depicts Venus as a symbol of beauty and love, a thing all men agree.ģ. What is most striking is thus she appears in a “no clothes body” but very wise to cover her part of her body with her right hand and her genitals with her long hair. The Birth of Venus painting is displayed showing the Goddess Venus landing at the shore after her birth with her fully grown body.

His loving wife Lady Godiva was so much disgusted with this and kept on arguing his husband to lower the taxes. According to the story, the ruler of Anglo Saxon earl of Mercia mistreated his people by imposing very high taxes on them. The nude painting of Lady Godiva by John Maler Collier was based on a legendary story. Let's now have a look at some of the top famous nude paintings of all times! These paintings thus were used to convey religious experiences as well as to establish behavior models and teach. It can also be traced that ancient Greece and Romans painted nude pictures to represent their gods and goddesses. People therefore never charged those nude portrait but instead perceived them as expressions of beauty, love, sex, and fertility. No matter how erotic the paintings were during this early period, the arts had severe religious functions as well as they acted as representations of various fertility deities.īoth male and female nude paintings were in antiquity, especially in ancient Greece. That time is popularly known as the classical period. Nude paintings can be dated back in the 6th-7th century BC in Greece. Naked figures have been used by different artists to show the beauty of both men and women and some other qualities evolving around these two genders. The nude figure is a contemporary and hotly perceived tradition in western art. ![]() |
