![]() ![]() After the Second Titan War, Percy Jackson made all of the gods swear on the River Styx to recognize all of their children at the age of thirteen, and that each god and goddess (including the minor gods and goddesses) would get a cabin at Camp Half-Blood.įew demigods have full-blooded siblings (with the exception of twins), as their godly parent will usually leave their mortal consorts not long after a child is born, or sometimes even before that. Otherwise, they are placed in Hermes' cabin, as he is the patron to travelers, anyone is welcomed there, including children of minor gods who aren't important enough to have a cabin. Children of Athena are claimed at birth, while others have to demonstrate some form of their parents' trait to be noticed, either through cunning, powers, skills like archery, or even beauty. It is around this time that they are escorted to Camp Half-Blood usually by satyrs, where they are placed in one of the cabins, each honoring a different god or goddess. If the child never learns that they are a demigod or they are a child of a minor god, monsters may overlook them. Also, if the demigod is a child of a powerful god, the scent can become even stronger. At this time, demigods will release a scent that monsters are able to detect and this scent will become stronger if the child learns they are a demigod. When a demigod reaches a certain age, normally early teens, their powers begin to manifest. Apollo, a male god, is also capable of having children with mortal males, but the specifics of how this works are not mentioned. It is unknown if other virgin goddesses or gods in general have a special way to have children like Athena. In this way, Athena remains a virgin goddess and it reflects how she herself was born, sprouting from the head of Zeus. While most demigods are created much like regular humans, children of Athena are born from their mother's thoughts merging with their father's. Most of them also have ADHD and dyslexia to help them learn Latin and Ancient Greek and to help them concentrate in battle (though some possess one of these abilities only while others possess none). Because these children are half god, they have enhanced physical characteristics, near-inhuman reflexes, an affinity for the Greek or Latin language, and may have some level of control or skill over the realm of their godly parent. Demigods are the end result of a god and a mortal (often a human) having a child together. ![]()

![]() ![]() The most extreme example known is the asteroid named 33 Polyhymnia, which is located in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter its density has been calculated as about 75 g/cm 3. Objects-typically, astronomical bodies-with densities higher than that are considered "compact ultradense objects" or CUDOs. ![]() The densest stable element is the rare platinoid metal osmium (Z=76) its density of 22.59 g/cm 3 is about twice that of lead. And as, in general, the density of elements tends to rise with their atomic mass, these superheavy elements can be expected to be extremely dense. In particular, an "island of nuclear stability" is predicted at about Z=164. Those with atomic numbers between 105 and 118 have been made experimentally but are radioactive and unstable with very short half-lives and, therefore, are only of academic and research interest.Įlements with Z>118 have not yet been observed, but properties have been predicted for some of them. ![]() Superheavy elements are defined as those with a very high number of protons (high atomic number), generally considered to be those with Z>104. This work has now been published in The European Physical Journal Plus. They modeled the properties of such elements using the Thomas-Fermi model of atomic structure, concentrating particularly on a proposed "island of nuclear stability" at and around Z=164 and extending their method further to include more exotic types of ultra-dense material. Chemistry LibreTexts.Jan Rafelski and his team at the Department of Physics, The University of Arizona, Tucson, U.S., suggest that this could consist of superheavy elements with atomic number (Z) higher than the limit of the current periodic table. Atomic Radius Trend in Periodic Table (Simple Explanation). These factors are interdependent and determine the overall size of an atom. The factors affecting atomic radius are nuclear charge, electron configuration, and distance of the valence electrons from the nucleus. Experimental methods, such as X-ray crystallography, electron diffraction, and spectroscopy, are used to measure atomic radius. It helps us understand how atoms interact and affect their chemical properties. By analyzing the wavelengths of light that are absorbed or emitted by an atom, scientists can determine its atomic radius.Ītomic radius is the size of an atom, measured in picometers, from the center of the nucleus to the outermost electron in the electron cloud.

Shortcuts is an app that you may have seen on your iOS device, but not sure what it actually is. It’s a shame but we’ll update the review once both features are available. Again, Apple confirmed to us that it’s coming in a later release. Meanwhile, Universal Control enables anyone with an iPad mini (2021), iPad Air (2020) and iPad Pro (2021) or another device running iPadOS 15, to use the tablet as a second screen, so you can drag content across to your Mac seamlessly. But, Apple did confirm to us that SharePlay is coming to iOS 15.1, so eventually you’ll be able to use the feature across your Mac, iPhone and iPad soon enough. SharePlay was touted at WWDC 2021 as something that could help you share content with other family members and friends, but that’s coming to Monterey in a later release. However, there are a couple of features that are missing for now. There’s simply too much to talk about in this review, but almost every app, including the design of macOS has seen a refinement in some way, and it’s welcome. Focus has already been a great way of customizing our iOS devices to fit our workflows, and the same applies in Monterey. ![]() You’ll spot many improvements across the board, from tags in the Notes app, to the Focus feature that’s already appeared on iPhone and iPad. macOS 12 Monterey is continuing this tradition, albeit with new features mostly carried over from iOS 15.Īpple says that the aims for Monterey are to help you better communicate with family and friends, alongside boosting your productivity for whatever workflows you use every day. More recently, macOS updates of Mountain Lion and High Sierra have more or less followed this mantra. ![]() Mac OS X Snow Leopard from 2009 is the greatest example, where the company made sure to mention that there were zero new features, just improvements. Across the years Apple has brought out macOS releases that focus more on refinements than features. ![]() ![]() ![]() Easy access to the Media Library allows you to find resources quickly while you’re working on a project.

Apple iMovie review: Interface and in use However, in comparison with tools like HitFilm Express, iMovie post-production sound enhancement leaves something to be desired. Conveniently, iMovie includes a background noise reduction feature which automatically reduces static and hum, while preserving dialogue. Now, you can begin cutting a project on your iPhone or iPad, and then wirelessly transfer 4k videos, at 60 frames per second, via iCloud to your iMovie Mac dashboard application.īackground noise is the scourge of amateur movie makers who don’t have professional sound equipment. Happily, iMovie’s October 2020 iOS update to version 2.3 simplified the process. Previously, it's been difficult to begin projects on the iPad and iPhone then transfer them to iMovie on Mac, where there’s more post-production editing tools. Although the iMovie Mac application remains better for completing your project, you can now seriously begin contemplating the style of your movie on the iOS versions of the app. ![]() What’s more, you can now import, share, and edit HDR videos from the Photos library. You can now customize a title’s font, color, size and style, change the background color, and modify filter intensity with a slider. The October 2020 iOS iMovie update made it easier to create videos on your iPhone or iPad than previously. Although the generic quality of these soundtracks means you may prefer to import your own music, the horror soundtracks are our favorite, as they’re effective at setting viewers up for a fright. Soundtracks are great for giving your movies an epic quality, no matter what genre you’re working with-whether that’s romance, horror, action or suspense. Although younger movie makers (we’re thinking teens) may find this feature enchanting, older filmmakers likely won’t try this gimmick more than once.ĭespite the two filters that weren’t included on the iOS update, those that opt to edit on their iPhones and iPads do benefit from 25 new soundtracks that weren’t included in the Mac update. IMovie’s August 2020 update (2.2.10 on iOS and 10.1.15 on Mac) brought a handful of new filters to the editing suite, three for iOS (Comic, Comic Mono, and Ink) and five for Mac (Comic, Comic Mono, Comic Vintage, Comic Sepia, and Ink).Īpply these filters to your movies to give them a gritty, illustrated effect, which makes them look as though they’ve been hand drawn. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can never go wrong with healthy food quotes.
![]() The USP of these brushes is the fact that, due to its split bristles, paint can be applied more smoothly, and there are few brush marks. Because the brush has a larger surface area, there is more paint on it, which makes painting easier. These brushes, sometimes known as exploded bristle brushes, are exclusively seen in high-end synthetic brushes. Flagged Brushesįlagged brushes are brushes with bristles that have been split to be used solely with latex paints. This is why professionals stick to buying natural hair brushes. Synthetic hair brushes are the cheaper alternatives when you're on a budget, but they're paint spreaders, just like foam brushes, as they're not carefully constructed and the bristles tend to fall out. ![]() ![]() These brushes are best-suited for watercolors and are not at all recommended for oil paints as they tend to be stiff and scratch the paint onto the canvas when used for oil painting. These are the kinds of brushes that are usually the norm for stationery and academic uses, which is why synthetic brushes are probably the very first paintbrushes that we used while we were children. Synthetic hair brushes are those whose bristles are usually made from nylon or polyester. Hence, most of the time, these brushes are used for fine art projects to create crisp, brush marks-free artworks. Natural hair brushes also come with camel or sable hair, but these brushes often tend to be expensive, which is why they have to be taken proper care of. The natural hair in these brushes are mostly the hairs from badgers or Chinese Hogs, and the latter ones are also preferably used for water-base painting as they are good absorbers of water. Natural Hair paintbrushes are most often premium brushes that are mostly used by oil painters as they work best with oil paints, which also means that they have to be cleaned with paint thinners. knowing these basics is important as it will help you primarily decide what kind of a painting brush you actually need, after which you can browse through the many brushes that suit your needs. Generally, there are four basic types of brushes for painting which then get divided into various types based on size, shape, use, etc. Let's take a look at the different kinds of brushes that artists use to create their bonafide works of art.īefore we get into the wide array of brushes that are available, it's integral to first discuss the basics. Sometimes, many of the brushes seem pretty similar but they are very different from each other based on how and what they're used for. However, this weapon has a plethora of varieties, different sizes, and shapes, which ultimately decide how an artist picks his poison based on how he wants to create his art. The paintbrush is what everyone considers to be an artist's weapon, and rightfully so. Just like the mighty Mjolnir of Thor Odinson, the paintbrush helps to channel an artist's creativity onto the blank canvas and make mesmerizing pieces of art with nothing but colors and some water. Painting has existed for centuries but it was the painting brush that changed it all and gave the man an excellent tool to create masterpieces for people to feast their eyes on. ![]() When it comes to art, you always need that particular tool that acts as the steering wheel to the vehicle, and for painting, a painting brush does just that. ![]() Painting has always been a definitive and attractive form of art, something that children, as well as adults, always love. ![]() ![]() ![]() She buys herself expensive clothes, travels abroad, and presents herself as a lady of mystery. But with an unforeseen inheritance, she can afford one perfect summer - a summer she will spend the rest of her life remembering. English orphan Miss Evangeline Scoffield has spent her life contenting herself with dreams. A 'fine stylist' (Publishers Weekly) of sizzling romances, award-winning writer Christina Dodd crafts a provocative tale of consummate pleasure and ultimate passion set in the Regency period. To fullfil their destinies, the prince will do anything-abduct her, coerce her, or, best of all seduce his reluctant bride into his royal world of peril, promise and passion. All her denials cannot change that, or alter the passion that burgeons between them. She is his betrothed, the runaway Princess of Serephinia. Or the Ever After of Her Dreams? One look into her eyes, and the prince recognizes her. Marriage But she quickly discovers her mistake, for a darkly handsome man appears at her bedroom door, claiming to be a Crown Prince-and her fiance. ![]() But with an unforseen inheritance, she can afford one perfect summer-a summer she will spend the rest of her life remembering. Masquerade English orphan Miss Evangeline Scoffield has spent her life contenting herself with dreams. What more could a reader of romance ask for? -Lois Faye Dyer From the Author:īook Description Mass Market Paperback. Who is right, Evangeline or Danior? Is Evangeline the Princess Ethelinda or isn't she? And if not, how will Danior cope with the deep love he feels for her? The Runaway Princess has a dash of myth and magic, colorful secondary characters, and a wonderfully heroic hero and heroine. Still, Evangeline knows she must convince him of her humble beginnings, for a prince could never truly love a simple girl such as herself. Evangeline's determination to set right this wrong is sadly undermined by her own growing attraction to the powerful, dark-haired prince. ![]() Not only does Danior stubbornly refuse to listen to her, but he's determined to consummate their betrothal. ![]() The two set off on the long journey to Princess Ethelinda's kingdom, with Evangeline feeling as if she's tumbled down the rabbit hole. Evangeline's protests are cut short when someone lobs a bomb into her room and Danior pulls her to safety, explaining all the while that evil forces are determined to kill them both to prevent their marriage and the subsequent joining of their two kingdoms. He insists that she is the Princess Ethelinda and that they must return immediately to her kingdom where they are to be married. To her shock, Prince Danior of Baminia appears and announces that he is her fiancé. When Leona disappears without a trace, Evangeline learns that she is the sole heir to the woman's fortune, and she wastes no time in packing a cache of cash and heading for Spain, posing as the refined lady she had always longed to be. Rescued at a young age from an orphanage she had called home for most of her life, Evangeline goes to live with an eccentric and rich woman named Leona. Evangeline Scoffield of East Little Teignmouth, Cornwall, is a fraud. ![]() ![]() ![]() This option works well when combined with the –oneline option mentioned above. The Git Log tool can also display the commit history in an ascii art graphical representation with the –graph option. Each commit will be shown as simply the commit hash followed by the commit message, on a single line:ĩ7eda7d Mollis interdum ullamcorper sociosqu, habitasse arcu magna risus congue dictum arcu, odio.ģca28cf Fermentum magnis facilisis torquent platea sapien hac, aliquet torquent ad netus risus.ģa96c1e Proin aenean vestibulum sociosqu vitae platea, odio, nisi habitasse at, in lorem odio varius.ġf0548c Nulla odio feugiat, id, volutpat litora, adipiscing.Ĭfc101a Natoque, turpis per vestibulum neque nibh ullamcorper. To just get the bare minimum information in a single line per commit, use the –oneline option. To view a summary of the changes made in each commit (# of lines added, removed, etc), use the –stat option: +++ -435,3 +435,4 Lacinia et enim suspendisse conubia lacus.ħ. +Ad, maecenas egestas viverra blandit odio. Lacus fermentum nonummy purus amet aliquam taciti fusce facilisis magna. Options to Modifying format of the output: To view the entire diff of changes for each commit found, use the -p option (think ‘p’ for patch): ![]() Praesent tempus varius vel feugiat mi tempor felis parturient.Ħ. To specify a date range, use both options: ![]() Git will also accept Ruby expressions as arguments here, so you can do things like the following to see commits that occurred in the last 2 days The date can be specified as a string with the format: “yyyy-mm-dd”. This can be accomplished using the –before and –after options: Many times you’ll want to limit the commits to those within a given date range. Note: Notice how this option matches any commit in which the we specify is a substring match of the commit’s author (We’ve found both Bob Smith’s and Bobby Jones’ commits). Natoque, turpis per vestibulum neque nibh ullamcorper. Many times, the author and committer will be the same person (you would generally expect this to be the case) but, in the case where a developer submits a patch of their work for approval, the developer may not actually commit the code.Ĭommit cfc101ad280f5b005c8d49c91e849c6c40a1d275 The –committer option, on the other hand, will limit results to commits that were committed by that individual. The author option will limit results to commits in which the changes were written by. This can be done using the –author and –committer options. To see the 3 most recent commits:Ĭommit 3ca28cfa2b8ea0d765e808cc565e056a94aceaf5įermentum magnis facilisis torquent platea sapien hac, aliquet torquent ad netus risus.Īnother common way to filter commits is by the person who wrote or committed the changes. Replace with the number of commits you would like to see. This can be accomplished using the - option. The most trivial way to filter commits is to limit output to the ‘n’ most recently committed ones. There are many options that not only allow you to filter commits to almost any granularity you desire, but to also tailor the format of the output to you personal needs. The real power of the Git Log tool, however, is in its diversity.
