![]() ![]() The spacecraft will then jettison its heat shield and get its first look at the ground using radar and another new system called terrain-relative navigation. A new technology called the range trigger will fire the parachute according to how close the spacecraft is to the landing site, allowing Perseverance to target a smaller landing zone than Curiosity, which deployed its parachute once it hit a certain velocity. “You fire this parachute pack out of the back of the vehicle with basically a cannon,” Chen says. Once it slows to about twice the speed of sound, Perseverance will deploy a 70-foot-wide parachute. Thrusters will direct the spacecraft toward its landing site as its body produces lift, “kind of like an airplane in some ways.” Tucked behind a heat shield, the rover will begin to slow when it hits the atmosphere, “like a meteor going across the sky,” Chen says. The data for high-quality footage will take longer to transmit and process, so NASA should release high-resolution footage of the entire landing sequence in the coming weeks.īut first, the spacecraft has to make it safely to the surface. By Monday, the team hopes to release video from the same view.

So in the span of about seven minutes, the spacecraft must slow its descent and settle gently on the surface. ![]() The spacecraft carrying the rover has been hurtling from Earth to Mars and will slam into the atmosphere at high speed.

![]() ![]() ![]() What is certain is that in 8 AD Ovid was sent to the bleak fishing-village of Tomi for what he describes as “a poem and a mistake,” Ovid attempted, on numerous occasions, to find his way back into the good graces of Augustus, writing poems to the emperor and other influential friends. The reason for Ovid’s exile by Augustus is unknown. It may have been these same poems, namely those of his The Art of Love (3 BC), that caused Ovid to be exiled to the barren region of Tomi in 8 AD. His elegant verses on love appealed to a society being forced into a period of moral reformation by the emperor, Augustus. Ovid’s elegance, both in verse and comportment, made him a favorite among the moneyed class of Rome, and it was not long before Ovid was widely hailed as the most brilliant poet of his generation. After working in various judicial posts, Ovid made the decision to dedicate himself to a life of poetry instead. Ovid’s father, who was a respected member of the equestrian order, expected Ovid to become a lawyer and official and had him schooled extensively for that purpose. The hunter Actaeon sees something he shouldn't – and like Callisto is also punished.On March 20, 43 BC, Publius Ovidius Naso, better known to modern readers as Ovid, was born at Sulmo, 90 miles from Rome. Titian drew inspiration for two other paintings, Diana and Actaeon and the later The Death of Actaeon, from the story of Actaeon found in the third book. A favourite nymph of the goddess Diana, Callisto is tricked by Jupiter into betraying Diana, and suffers the consequences. In book two we find the story of Callisto and Arcas which inspired Titian's Diana and Callisto. Made up of 15 sections or 'books', each section of 'Metamorphoses' has around six stories. The tales of the 'Metamorphoses' were as well known as Bible stories in Titian's day and were a popular source of inspiration for many artists during the Renaissance. A collection of mythical tales based on the theme of 'change', 'Metamorphoses' means 'transformations' in Greek. 'Metamorphoses' is Ovid's epic poem, almost 900 lines long. He died nine years later in Tomis, very sadly.įind out all about 'Metamorphosis: Titian 2012' Metamorphoses He spent the rest of his life writing letters begging to be allowed back home, and he never was. Ovid was banned and never ever made it back to Rome. That theory was very popular in the Middle Ages. ![]() Did he in fact catch Augustus himself having sex with another man? Did he catch one of the imperial family in flagrante delicto, in an adulterous affair. The error we don’t know, he won’t tell us, but he implies that he has seen something he shouldn’t have seen.Ĭlearly it is something scandalous to do with the imperial family and over the years everyone has guessed at what that might be. In fact, it had been published about eight years before he was banished, so that can’t have been the proximate cause. The carmen he’s referring to is the 'Ars Amatoria' ('The Art of Love'), said to induce Roman matrons towards adultery, which of course was rubbish. an error, it’s a mistake, an indiscretion. A carmen is a song, a poem, and an error is. The only evidence we have is what Ovid himself tells us, and he tells us there were two reasons. The climate was terrible, there was no culture there, and Ovid was exiled and his books were banned. No one went to Tomis, it was right on the edge of the Empire. Augustus made the announcement himself and exiled Ovid to a place called Tomis – in modern-day Romania on the Black Sea – which was frankly a dump. Very shortly after the 'Metamorphoses' was first published, or perhaps even the first draft was published, we’re not quite sure, Ovid was suddenly exiled from Rome. Although he took a few jobs in the judiciary, he decided not to go into public life and instead became a poet, and a very successful poet at that. He toured Greece in a mini Grand Tour, which was another thing that wealthy Roman men would have done. He came from a quite wealthy family and as a young man moved to Rome for his education, as was the standard thing at the time. Bernadine Corrigan: Ovid was a poet born in 43BC, the year after the assassination of Julius Caesar. ![]() ![]() The result of his efforts is the basis for all open fireplaces today. While fireplaces large enough to stable a cow continued to be popular well into the early 19th century, around 1795 Sir Benjamin Thompson-aka Count Rumford-began fiddling with the design of the firebox. Decorative paneling and other accents in the Georgian style were book-matched on either side of the opening, sometimes for the entire width of the wall. ![]() Decorative enhancements might include a few Delftware tiles, or in the case of the Dutch, a short decorative curtain that hung well above the fire pit.īy the second quarter of the 18th century, the fireplace had become the centerpiece of the main gathering room. If the house was Dutch, the fireplace flue projected into the room, concealed by a massive hood. ![]() In English colonial homes, fireplaces typically were surrounded by simple, floor-to-ceiling paneling, usually plain vertical or bead-edged planks. The very earliest American hearths were flush with the wall. In the South, fireplaces were placed at the far ends of the house to reduce heat buildup, keeping the house cooler in summer.įederal fireplaces were known for beautiful and ornately carved mantels, like this one featuring pilasters, inset panels, and dentils. The central mass of stone or brick also tended to retain heat, keeping the house warmer overall. In New England and the Mid-Atlantic, colonial homes had central chimneys with multiple flues so that fires could be lit in two or more rooms on each floor. ![]() The firebox was usually wider than it was tall, especially in the homes of Dutch settlers.įireplaces in English homes were smaller and more efficient. In the 1600s and early 1700s, the typical fireplace was a walk-in: a wide, deep, open recess, generally with only the briefest semblance of a mantel, or no mantel at all. As the hub of the house, a burning hearth provided heat, housed multiple fires for cooking and baking, and served as the nucleus of family gatherings. The fireplace was a necessity in early America. Early fireplaces were very wide and deep, which allowed for multiple pots to be cooking simultaneously, but also caused a lot of heat loss. ![]() ![]() ![]() Whenever I want to continue writing an article on the road, I download the corresponding MD file and then upload it again afterwards.

The crackers reached their peak of popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, helped at the time by ad campaigns and slogans that are embarrassments today. RyKrisp crackers, about 4 inches long and 2 inches wide, were only 25 calories and provided a sturdy base for cheeses, butters and jellies. But he said, "I think the real way to do this is by getting to a proper conclusion with this particular saga."Ĭrispbreads are cheap and filling and don't spoil, which made them perfect for hauling on a long journey in the 19th century. They considered seeking out other investors. "When our equipment was taken, we didn't have a manufacturer and, you know, we're a small, small company and we needed enough money to restart," Leavitt said. And the RyKrisp owners need funds to get production going again. There have been efforts to settle, but a new round of lawsuits has started with the baker's insurance company. That was more than the commercial baker could afford. Leavitt's group ultimately decided to turn to a second baking company to make the crackers.īut the first one would not turn over the equipment that had been moved from Minneapolis unless it was paid $50,000 more than the two sides had initially agreed.Ī court fight followed and, in 2019, an Illinois jury awarded the new RyKrisp owners an $8 million judgment. The dispute between RyKrisp's new owners and the commercial baking company started before production ever resumed. You know you'd love to be able to satisfy the consumers out there," Leavitt said. Instead, they contracted with a commercial baker in the Chicago area and moved the equipment there. But they decided not to rehire the staff and resume production. They also bought the equipment, which was in a factory in southeast Minneapolis that had been producing varieties of RyKrisp crackers since 1926. The trio in 2015 bought the RyKrisp trademark shortly after ConAgra decided to stop making the crackers, which were based on the crispbread carried to the Midwest by Scandinavian immigrants in the 19th century.

Well, I feel bad for SEGA and hopefully, maybe there is a second chance to bring back the Golden Axe universe. The economy is rough sometimes and layoffs are really depressing when it comes to bad sales and no marketing advertisers. Revenge of Death Adder was only released in arcades. But if they have Beast Rider and you played it and thrusting your fingers handling a few problems with the game, maybe you could sell it on Ebay and leave a feedback to the seller saying "I Want My Money Back, You Jerk!".Īfter the departure of the now-defunct developer Secret Circle, what will Sega do to the series? Things aren't looking too good for the company that Sonic built. Its Golden Axe IV (III was released on the Sega Channel and in the recent Sega Collection). If they want to stick with the old Golden Axe's 1 and 2, that's fine. With poor gameplay, a sloppy story campaign, and a strange combat system, I don't think Sega is not ready for a sequel or a reboot. I wonder if in the future, Golden Axe could still be an M-rated title since Beast Rider was the first. Rise of the Argonauts or Sonic Unleashed would be my underrated GOTY, but I also believe Golden Axe: Beast Rider is underrated. When Golden Axe: Beast Rider was released in '08, I thought this was going to be a bigger comeback to the series, but since I read the negative reviews I was like saying "OUCH! Maybe it's too little too late for a reboot." The good news is that Tyris Flare is smokin' hot in that Conan-like style outfit. ![]() After the gate opens, a knight and a knight on an Abrax appear.
