![]() Once criticized as being "too literary for a painter", Gustave Moreau was a proponent of painting as cosa mentale, or mental matter-that is, painting as a philosophical expression. ![]() In France, une chimère had the additional idiomatic meaning of an illusion or delusion all these various connotations no doubt influenced Moreau, who began no less than half a dozen paintings with variations on the theme. ![]() In the Middle Ages, however, the chimera took a new meaning, representing the perverse forces of the Devil as in Dante's Inferno and, later, hypocrisy and fraud, as in the Iconologia of Cesare Ripa. The chimera romped about Lycia, spreading havoc, until slain by the hero Bellerophon on his winged steed, the Pegasus. The theme of the chimera is originally from Classical mythology, where the chimera was a fearsome fire-breathing beast with the heads of a lion, a goat, and a dragon, the last one attached to its tail. The fact that the painting was abandoned means that many, if not most of these figures are only sketched out and not left a pale white, with the sky being the same white-this creates a haze in the middle of the piece and also gives the effect of Classical marble statuary to the various figures. A nude woman being courted by a centaur is the focal point, while other women and their respective chimères, here taken in the meaning of "fantasies" or "dreams," not only literally, fill out the piece. While still adhering to Neoclassical conventions of form, Moreau fills the canvas with creations of his own imagination. The scene, like many of Moreau's other pieces, is in nature-a forest-but filled with figures that blend with and complete the scenery. Moreau abandoned the work shortly after his mother's death to work on the darker polyptych La Vie de l'Humanité, considered one of his masterpieces.Įxecuted on a 2.36m by 2.04m canvas, Les Chimères is in the Musée national Gustave Moreau at 14 Rue de La Rochefoucauld, Paris. The painting is a philosophical meditation on what Moreau saw as the elemental nature of Woman, depicting the internal yearnings and dreams of women (des chimères being a French idiom indicating unrealistic dreams) through complex mythological symbolism. It depicts a large forest scene wherein various nude women are associated with sundry figures from classical and medieval mythology-not only the titular chimeras, but also centaurs, winged creatures, fawns, minotaurs, etc. Les Chimères or The Chimaeras is an unfinished painting executed in 1884 by the French Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau (1826–1898).

![]() The same is true for personal property insurance, or Coverage C. We can match its limits to the ones on your dwelling insurance, or Coverage A however large that number is. For instance, you can get a flood insurance endorsement added to your homeowners insurance policy that’s effective immediately. Private insurers can usually offer higher limits and other coverage options that some homeowners may find more attractive to people. This might not be enough for many homeowners. However, NFIP policies only offer a maximum of $250,000 coverage and personal belongings to $100,000. The NFIP may be a good choice for homeowners in SFHAs because it can’t refuse to cover a risk. The other option is to look for a policy from a private insurance company. Backed by FEMA, the NFIP accounts for nearly 95% of all flood insurance policies. The first is the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Homeowners generally have two options for getting flood insurance. This is $252 less than the average annual cost of an NFIP policy in Zone C of $427. How much does flood insurance cost in Zone C?īecause of the low-risk nature of Flood Zone C, we can offer flood insurance for as little as $175 per year. If you’re concerned about any of these issues, you may want to inquire about adding flood insurance. In fact, damage resulting from water rising outside the home is seldom covered by homeowners policies. Homeowners insurance usually covers internal water damage (like a pipe bursting in the house), but few pay for damages if a sewer backs up or your city’s drainage system causes issues. It might just take one El Nino year to create enough rain to cause flooding in your community where no one can remember it ever happening before. Will climate change increase the chance of flooding in your area? Climate change is leading to more frequent and severe storms.Is the city developing resources to prevent floods from occurring? If the city has been ignoring its infrastructure, your home could become a flood victim thanks to poor city planning.Are there areas in the community where water pools when it rains? Water pooling close to your home when it rains is a sign that drainage is not as great as it could be and your home could be at risk in a severe storm.With such a low probability for flood, does it make sense to buy an insurance policy to cover the risk? Before you dismiss flood insurance altogether, you may want to ask yourself: Kin has a flood insurance starting at $175 a year that can give you peace of mind and comprehensive protection. To protect yourself, consider getting flood insurance so you don’t have to pay for the expensive repairs after a flood out of your own pocket. That’s a lot of damage from just a little bit of water. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), just one inch of water can lead to more than $25,000 in damages to both your house and your belongings. However, with climate change affecting storm intensity, you might want to look into flood insurance. As such, flood insurance is not required to have a mortgage like it is in Flood Zone A and other high-risk areas. If you live in Flood Zone C, you’re lucky to live in a location that’s not known for flooding. Is flood insurance required in Flood Zone C? Floods can still happen in Zone C, but they’re rare and don’t warrant the regulations you see in an SFHA. This doesn’t mean that Flood Zone C never floods it just means the zone isn’t a designated base floodplain. Flood Zone C is outside the area of a base flood, so it doesn't have a BFE. The base flood elevation (BFE) is the anticipated height of floodwaters during a base flood (i.e., a flood that has a 1% chance of occurring in a year). What is Flood Zone C’s base flood elevation? New and revised maps use Flood Zone X in place of Flood Zone C. As such, the area is not a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), and flood insurance is not mandatory. While there may be some pooling and local drainage problems, the homes located in this flood zone have little risk of flooding. Flood Zone C sits above the 500-year flood level. ![]() The queens share their celebrity picks amongst themselves as they tend to their wigs, with Monét testing out her Maya Angelou monotone while Kameron explains Chyna’s mannerisms to a politely attentive Aquaria. It’s as demanding a comedy performance as any entertainer would be asked to do, and finding the perfect celebrity to impersonate seems to be the most arcanely challenging task for even the most self-aware queen. Then comes the big reveal as RuPaul asks the ladies to stretch their Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent this week for the Snatch Game, Drag Race’s marquee maxi-challenge that separates the wheat from the chaff and sends any remaining cannon fodder flying. We smell a spat wafting over from a commercial break away! Eureka bucks convention and reads all of the queens as she blasts their inevitably lazy jabs at her weight, and she goes on to win the mini-challenge while Vixen rolls her eyes. For the most part, everyone does a decent job delivering some classic setup-punch line reads, with recurring targets in both Aquaria’s insipid personality and the Vixen’s thirsty wigs. Because reading is what? Deeply alarming in the United States due to sluggish child-literacy rates and we should all be concerned and vigilant in pursuing Betsy Devos’s removal from her position of power. The credits roll and Ru greets the girls the next day by opening the Library for the perennially delightful reading challenge, but not before taking a dig at the Department of Education. It’s a completely valid point that the judges (Michelle in particular) are always quick to shut down during critiques, and it feels as though an underdog narrative is being set up for Ms. Monique then laments her constant safety despite turning out some great performances and looks, and brings up the cost-prohibitive aspects of the competition working against her limited resources. It’s like, come on, Eureka! You’re gonna poke the bear by literally mentioning the bear? Oof. Moments after wiping down Blair’s lipstick message, the Vixen gets some seemingly warm words of encouragement from Eureka, who quickly takes a left turn in her pep talk once she invokes Vix’s ursine behavior in front of everyone. Add to that a most disappointing exit by a fan favorite, and we’ve got ourselves a tough episode to swim through, mermaid-style. That distribution holds true for Drag Race season ten, but as we go through the yearly exercise of snapping out of our collective amnesia to say, “Oh yeah, the Snatch Game is usually just okay,” none of these queens even break into the top 20 all-time best Snatch Game impersonations. The bell curve of a given season’s Snatch Game is pretty set at this point: There’s the couple of duds who bomb the whole thing, followed by a cavernous hollow of fair-to-middling ones that make up a majority of the performances, which then take us all the way to the two or three standouts. In Euclidean geometry, the base angles can not be obtuse (greater than 90°) or right (equal to 90°) because their measures would sum to at least 180°, the total of all angles in any Euclidean triangle. Whether an isosceles triangle is acute, right or obtuse depends only on the angle at its apex. In the equilateral triangle case, since all sides are equal, any side can be called the base. The vertex opposite the base is called the apex. The angle included by the legs is called the vertex angle and the angles that have the base as one of their sides are called the base angles. In an isosceles triangle that has exactly two equal sides, the equal sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. The same word is used, for instance, for isosceles trapezoids, trapezoids with two equal sides, and for isosceles sets, sets of points every three of which form an isosceles triangle. "Isosceles" is made from the Greek roots "isos" (equal) and "skelos" (leg). ![]() A triangle that is not isosceles (having three unequal sides) is called scalene. The difference between these two definitions is that the modern version makes equilateral triangles (with three equal sides) a special case of isosceles triangles. Terminology, Classification, and ExamplesĮuclid defined an isosceles triangle as a triangle with exactly two equal sides, but modern treatments prefer to define isosceles triangles as having at least two equal sides. The two angles opposite the legs are equal and are always acute, so the classification of the triangle as acute, right, or obtuse depends only on the angle between its two legs.ġ. Every isosceles triangle has an axis of symmetry along the perpendicular bisector of its base. The other dimensions of the triangle, such as its height, area, and perimeter, can be calculated by simple formulas from the lengths of the legs and base. The two equal sides are called the legs and the third side is called the base of the triangle. Isosceles triangles have been used as decoration from even earlier times, and appear frequently in architecture and design, for instance in the pediments and gables of buildings. The mathematical study of isosceles triangles dates back to ancient Egyptian mathematics and Babylonian mathematics. Examples of isosceles triangles include the isosceles right triangle, the golden triangle, and the faces of bipyramids and certain Catalan solids. Sometimes it is specified as having exactly two sides of equal length, and sometimes as having at least two sides of equal length, the latter version thus including the equilateral triangle as a special case. Triangle E is an obtuse triangle since it has an obtuse angle, while triangle F is an acute triangle since all its angles are acute.In geometry, an isosceles triangle (/aɪˈsɒsəliːz/) is a triangle that has at least two sides of equal length. Furthermore, there can be at most one obtuse angle, and a right angle and an obtuse angle cannot occur in the same triangle. Proposition I.17 states that the sum of any two angles in a triangle is less than two right angles, therefore, no triangle can contain more than one right angle. ![]() ![]() Since triangle D has a right angle, it is a right triangle. An alternate characterization of isosceles triangles, namely that their base angles are equal, is demonstrated in propositions I.5 and I.6. It is only required that at least two sides be equal in order for a triangle to be isosceles.Įquilateral triangles are constructed in the very first proposition of the Elements, I.1. The way that the term isosceles triangle is used in the Elements does not exclude equilateral triangles. The term isosceles triangle is first used in proposition I.5 and later in Books II and IV. ![]() The equilateral triangle A not only has three bilateral symmetries, but also has 120°-rotational symmetries.Īccording to this definition, an equilateral triangle is not to be considered as an isosceles triangle. The scalene triangle C has no symmetries, but the isosceles triangle B has a bilateral symmetry. This definition classifies triangles by their symmetries, while definition 21 classifies them by the kinds of angles they contain. Further, of trilateral figures, a right-angled triangle is that which has a right angle, an obtuse-angled triangle that which has an obtuse angle, and an acute-angled triangle that which has its three angles acute. ![]() Larger files means spending times on opening and saving which you do 1000 of times. ![]() It wills also mean that all files need to use high resolution images through all versions instead of only exporting a rasterized for final print.

I am not in support of having any fans ideas being officially supported. If you want Blizzard to provide new abilities, I am all for that.īut I am not in support of your idea that the new spells abilities we get officially should be based on your ideas alone. If you want to create a mod and balance it and have Blizzard support it through Unofficial means (ie, Custom Melee mode for anyone who wants to add their own Race), I am all for that. Those are two different things, you must understand. That is why I am in support of an official expansion.īut I am not in support of some fan’s creation being Officially supported as OFFICIAL content. Blizzard would have to change all of that like DOTA2 changed it all because of copyright issues or other reasons (confusing for Leoric to be in Warcraft). As a mod, it can freely use these concepts because it is unofficial. It turns Kael into Invoker, it turns Thrall into Disruptor, it turns Alleria into Windrunner. Lina Inverse is an anime character, Leoric is from the Diablo series, Zeus is literally a greek god. Without mods, DOTA would never become OFFICIAL in Warcraft because it uses characters taken from other media and series. Same with the idea of Female Night Elves being Druids this is because WoW has Male/Female options and the game designers wanted that completely open and not be limited by lore. But the Designers felt it’s too difficult to balance another Alliance-only Hybrid class without screwing the Horde over, so they overruled Metzen and gave Druids to the Horde side too, and thus we have Tauren Druid. ![]() ![]() That is his creative vision for the Druids and the Night Elves Druidism is exclusive to Night Elves and it makes sense. At some point, you will see that your creativity will be limited.Īn example of this is Metzen wanted the Druid class to be Night Elf only in WoW. Or he doesn’t like that you called them Blood orcs. If you created the Demon and Naga race, and some executive says “I don’t like Fel Orcs, change it” then you have to remove it all. You don’t seem to understand that for something to become official, it means you will no longer have full control over it. I don’t think you actually want what you are asking for. I think it’s great that it is its own successful mod with characters taken from Warcraft and adding new ones that can fit in the lore, but I don’t think it should be OFFICIAL. This is not a personal attack on you, but just the same I would not want DOTA to be an Official brand within the Warcraft universe. I do not agree that your specific vision of Demons and Naga should be an official part of Blizzard’s release of Warcraft 3. ![]() Unless you are telling me you are a Blizzard developer posting here under a non-Blizzard account, there’s nothing you can really say that adds any weight to the situation you present. |
