This new ink comes just under a month after her session with tattoo artist Mr. Hudgens shared a photo of her new tat via Instagram on June 14 and captioned it, "ANOTHER ONE." The tattoo in question was designed by NYC tattooer Dragon, who also designed the angel tattoo on her ribcage. The actress added the 10th piece of ink to her collection (apparently it's her lucky number): a boa constrictor on the inside of her left ankle. Vanessa Hudgens just reached a mini milestone in her tattoo journey. Here's hoping that I always remember the child I once was, and that I never have to explain what my tattoo means to grown-ups.This content is not available due to your privacy preferences. I chose the last drawing the young artist in The Little Prince ever created for my tattoo. If you really want people to see the elephant, then, yes, you'll need to show them the elephant. Sometimes, people won't see the elephant inside of the boa constrictor they'll just see a hat. The young artist in Le Petit Prince is upset that grown-ups can't see what he wants them to see, but that's the thing about art: You can't control how people will interpret or perceive what you put out in the world. But it also comes with a new way of seeing. Growing up comes with what feels like loss-it's nostalgia for a self who could see the elephant inside of the boa constrictor. An idea that has existed far too long-the people who make art don't have money, but the people who consume it do. Perhaps this is dumb: the idea that true art can't make money, that creative people need to have hustles. The writing I do to make money doesn't always align with the writing I do to survive.

How old would I have been? At what age do we stop seeing the elephant inside of the boa constrictor? It must happen like tiny pin pricks and not all at once. I don't remember when I stopped understanding things. Perhaps because we've all grown into "reasonable" people who are used to having things explained to us.

It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant."īut all the grown-ups mistook the child's drawing for a hat. He only wanted to show the exterior of the snake, its body contorted to fit the shape of the elephant swallowed whole. That's not how the young artist in Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince originally intended to present his drawing. If I could have gotten my tattoo when I was a kid, I wouldn't have needed to show the elephant within the stomach of a boa constrictor. ![]()

Incel communities have been criticized by researchers and the media for being misogynistic, encouraging violence, spreading extremist views, and radicalizing their members. Īt least eight mass murders, resulting in a total of 61 deaths, have been committed since 2014 by men who have either self-identified as incels or who had mentioned incel-related names and writings in their private writings or Internet postings. Estimates of the overall size of the subculture vary greatly, ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of individuals. Incels are mostly male and heterosexual, and are often white. The American Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) described the subculture as "part of the online male supremacist ecosystem" that is included in their list of hate groups. Discussions in incel forums are often characterized by resentment and hatred, misogyny, misanthropy, self-pity and self-loathing, racism, a sense of entitlement to sex, and the endorsement of violence against women and sexually active people.

Well I think Mike Conley deserves one for his body of work AND because he is in the midst of his best performance ever. It’s kind of like when someone wins an Oscar for their body of work rather than a particular performance. I think this year's legacy nod has to go to Mike Conley (sorry Chris Paul!). But often, players receive a vote in part because of their legacy. Further, the casual fan will not vote for a 33 year-old playing in Utah who is not an explosive athlete or previous champion/All-Star or a lead-leaguer in any of the traditional categories. And for a guy averaging less PPG than his back-up (24 PPG per 36 mins JC!). Now, I concede that it’s unlikely for the Jazz to get three All-Stars despite having the best record in the NBA.

Over time, the igneous rock of the oceanic crust gets covered with layers of sediment, which eventually become sedimentary rock. This magma oozes out onto the seafloor to form pillow basalts, breccias (fragmented basaltic rock), and flows, interbedded in some cases with limestone or chert. The triangular zone of partial melting near the ridge crest is approximately 60 km thick and the proportion of magma is about 10% of the rock volume, thus producing crust that is about 6 km thick. The crustal material created at a spreading boundary is always oceanic in character in other words, it is igneous rock (e.g., basalt or gabbro, rich in ferromagnesian minerals), forming from magma derived from partial melting of the mantle caused by decompression as hot mantle rock from depth is moved toward the surface (Figure 4.5.3). Arrows indicate the direction of plate motion on either side of the fault (USGS, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons). Figure 4.5.2 Closeup of the mid-Atlantic ridge system, showing transform faults perpendicular to the ridge axis. The mid-ocean ridge system can be seen as the light blue chain of mountains running throughout the oceans (). As we will see in section 4.7, movements along transform faults between two adjacent ridge segments are responsible for many earthquakes.įigure 4.5.1 Ocean floor topography. These transform faults make the mid-ocean ridge system look like a giant zipper on the seafloor (Figure 4.5.2). #Divergent boundary series#Although oceanic spreading ridges appear to be curved features on Earth’s surface, in fact the ridges are composed of a series of straight-line segments, offset at intervals by faults perpendicular to the ridge, called transform faults. Running down the middle of the mid-ocean ridge is a rift valley 25-50 km wide and 1 km deep. Because the new crust formed at the plate boundary is warmer than the surrounding crust, it has a lower density so it sits higher on the mantle, creating the mountain chain. The mid-ocean ridge system is a giant undersea mountain range, and is the largest geological feature on Earth at 65,000 km long and about 1000 km wide, it covers 23% of Earth’s surface (Figure 4.5.1). Most divergent boundaries are located along mid-ocean oceanic ridges (although some are on land). Modified from "Physical Geology" by Steven Earle*ĭivergent boundaries are spreading boundaries, where new oceanic crust is created to fill in the space as the plates move apart. ![]() ![]() ![]() We then state Lochs-type theorems which work even in the case of zero entropy, in particular for several important log-balanced sequences of partitions of a number-theoretic nature. These are sequences of interval partitions such that the logarithms of the measures of their intervals at each depth are roughly the same. In order to deal with sequences of partitions beyond positive entropy, this paper introduces the notion of log-balanced sequences of partitions, together with their weight functions. Such conversion results can also be stated for sequences of interval partitions under suitable assumptions, with results holding almost everywhere, or in measure, involving the entropy. ![]() In its original version, Lochs' theorem related decimal expansions with continued fraction expansions. Lochs' theorem and its generalizations are conversion theorems that relate the number of digits determined in one expansion of a real number as a function of the number of digits given in some other expansion. Mardi, 14 heures 30, Online Vilmos Komornik (Université de Strasbourg et Shenzhen University) Topology of univoque sets in real base expansions This is joint work with Célia Cisternino, Zuzana Masáková and Edita Pelantová. For our purposes, we use a generalized concept of spectrum associated with a complex base and complex digits, and we study its topological properties. An important tool in our study is the spectrum of numeration systems associated with alternate bases. Under some suitable condition (i.e., our previous sufficient condition for being a sofic system), we prove that the normalization function is computable by a finite Büchi automaton, and furthermore, we effectively construct such an automaton. The second aim is to provide an analogue of Frougny's result concerning normalization of real bases representations. Comparing the setting of alternate bases to that of one real base, these conditions exhibit a new phenomenon: the bases should be expressible as rational functions of their product. We exhibit two conditions: one necessary and one sufficient. However, the difficulty of computing the automorphism group in general is such that any new non-trivial examples are useful and instructive.The first aim of this work is to give information about the algebraic properties of alternate bases determining sofic systems. It is not clear whether the techniques used in this paper can be generalized to a significantly wider class of systems. Another result is that for a minimal system with complexity that grows at most linearly the quotient of the automorphism group by the group generated by $\sigma$ is finite. The proof uses dynamical methods to reduce the problem to combinatorial arguments. An interesting result in the paper is an algorithm to compute the automorphism group in this situation, along with the use of this algorithm to compute all conjugacies between two shifts generated by constant length substitutions. ![]() In this paper, the authors focus on the particular class of substitution systems of constant length, which are the systems whose infinite words are obtained by iterating a substitution infinitely many times on some letter in the alphabet. However, even in the lowest nontrivial complexity (that of nonconstant, sublinear complexity), we do not have a complete understanding of the automorphism group, and in general there is no method that gives a complete characterization of this group. In the past few years, there has been a lot of work on showing that dynamical systems $(X,\sigma)$ for which the complexity function grows slowly have automorphism groups that are in some sense small. A trivial example of an automorphism is $\sigma$ itself, or indeed any power of $\sigma$. In particular, the rate of growth of this function is important.Īn _automorphism_ of a dynamical system $(X,\sigma)$ is a continuous bijection from $X$ to $X$ that commutes with $\sigma$. We prove that for any transitive subshift $X$ with word complexity function $c_n(X)$, if $\liminf \frac)$. ![]() ![]() ![]() QuickTime 5 two horns up - and thanks for including all the latest media formats in the new player!Ĥ ) RealPlayer ®: Voted BEST All-Around Media Player by visitors to Dave's Faves.

In almost all cases, timing chains stretch due to improper owner maintenance. When a timing chain wears or the timing chain guides are damaged, metallic particles may be found in the drain oil. Those misfires and excessive emissions can then result in costly damage to the vehicle’s catalytic converter. In other words, valves that don’t open and close exactly when expected cause an incomplete burn, resulting in a reduced power contribution from each cylinder and excessive emissions. When the intake and exhaust valves are out of time with the crankshaft, they cause incomplete combustion that’s detected by the engine control computer and reported as a misfire. At idle speed, the result is a rough idle that causes the engine to shake when you’re at a stop. Since the timing chain controls when the intake and exhaust valves open in relation to the pistons, a worn chain can cause the valves to be out of time, opening and closing slightly early or late. However, if the timing chain wear is great enough so that the tensioner can no longer compensate for the slack, the noise may continue even after warm up. If the engine is equipped with a hydraulic timing chain tensioner, the noise may disappear or lessen as the engine oil warms up and the tensioner removes some of the slack. The excess slack can cause a rattling sound or even a clanking sound if the slack is severe enough to cause the chain to slap against the timing chain cover. ![]() Timing chain noise is most noticeable on cold startup when oil pressure and flow is at its lowest.
