#theyve nailed the small details!!!

[barawrah]

i want us both to eat well

[ambalambs]

What is Miko's relationship with each of the other scions like? Is there any that he gets along with better than the others? Are there any he just doesn't vibe with as much for whatever reason?

Hmm there really isn't any of the scions miko doesn't get on well with. They're all basically his family at this point and he loves each of them very much in different ways for different reasons. But I'll go into more detail under the cut here in case this gets too long lol

So first off of course his favorite absolute bestie love of his life scion is g'raha lol they just got on so well back during crystal tower. Tbh miko really did see g'raha as basically his first actual true friend since he wasn't just someone he met from his work with the scions so losing him so quickly was rough. But everything is good now and they can be dorky idiots together forever \o/

I really think miko is extremely close with the twins. Theyre basically like younger siblings to him and he'd fight tooth and nail to keep them safe. They remind him a lot of his younger brother and sister back home and so he goes into ultimate big bro miko mode a lot with them. He does seem to have a slight softer spot for alphinaud just because of all they experienced together throughout hw. And during a moment of weakness after haurchefant died miko shared his real name with alphinaud so the kiddo was the first out of the scions to ever learn it. However that doesn't mean he's not incredibly close with alisaie lol those two together are a powerhouse of playful rivalries and miko knows if he is up for some chaos then alisaie will no doubt stand beside him. It sometimes breaks his heart how much she seems to worry about him tho.

His second bestie next to g'raha is definitely estinien tho. They just have so many things they can relate to together and there is so much comeraderie between them. Also there is probably a single braincell shared between them when they're together lol miko is a lot more easy going and playful tho so I imagine there is a lot of eye rolling from estinien when miko gets going. The only time miko had difficulty with estinien was back in hw with estinien's drive for revenge. Miko struggled with that in himself a lot and just to see how destructive it became for his friend really shook him.

As for thancred, miko absolutely respects and loves thancred to bits. There has never been a single moment miko has doubted thancred would have his back no matter what. Even after the whole ifrit or lahabrea stuff miko never lost his trust in him. This has also kinda led to miko feeling pretty comfortable in confiding in thancred when he needs to without feeling like he needs to keep up strength and appearances. Theyve seen each other at their worst and that just creates a bond that can't be broken.

I feel like if there's gonna be any scion that I could say miko doesn't entirely "vibe" with itd probably have to be y'shtola. Only in the sense that she is very smart and intense and miko will sometimes feel very small and dumb in her presence lol being in the scions full of smart people isn't always easy for him cuz he doesn't have their level if education. But he still adores y'shtola. She is another one he knows he can always trust no matter what and he finds her power and strength of will something he strives to match. He also does love how she can dish back any teasing he can give and absolutely obliterate him lol

And as for him and urianger, well thats been a complicated one over the course of their journey. Urianger has fascinated miko since he met him. His fancy way of talking is definitely something miko was initially drawn to cuz he just found himself engrossed in whatever topic urianger would lecture him on. But its the lies and deceptions urianger has engaged in that led to some bumpy moments for miko. Not in the sense he's angry at urianger for anything he did. Its that it always seems like urianger seemed to think miko wouldn't trust him cuz miko does wholeheartedly trust and understand him and why he'd always done things the way he did. Miko just wants them to be as close as he is with everyone else and they seem to be now after everything in ew. So now he just likes to sit with urianger and observe and listen to whatever the guy is studying lol miko may also try to sneak in some triple triad cards into urianger's ast card deck just to see how he'd react xD

That covers the main crew tho I think yeah? Except for like krile and tataru which he of course gets one super well with them too. He likes to poke krile for funny stories about the twins. And he love love l o v e s tataru so much! A good number of his scarves are no doubt made by her at this point and he cherishes all of them. So yeah basically the scions could do no wrong in Miko's eyes lol theyre his big family now and sure there's some ups and downs, some times where he'd like to smack a couple of them on the noggin but he loves them all so much and would do anything for them.

As an aside too he misses papalymo a lot ;^; he didn't want to leave him behind on baelsar's wall. And he still misses minfilia a lot and it weighs on him he couldn't do more to have saved her 😔 she meant a lot to him and he learned so much about himself and the echo and everything from her and he just wishes they couldve had more time.

@landofshame

I know, right. Thumper opens your third eye

I’ve currently finished level 3 and almost level 4, I only have the final level 4 boss left but I took a break for the day bc this is gonna be difficult.. I’ve had a difficult time adapting to the multiple lanes thing compared to other new mechanics but I’m so excited about mastering it

with that said, thumper is so goddamn good, “opens your third eye” is truly the best description. like you feel like you travel through a dimension and become one with the game and visuals and sound for a bit. It’s just so well executed idek where to start. It’s like a game that has perfected immersion so even if I’m playing as this?? little bug traveling through surreal imagery I feel like some action hero playing it

[yandere-flower]

All the Scream asks got me thinking about mystery and betrayal so now im thinking of a yandere murder mystery! Say every yandere OC of yours lives in the same town and has some sort of small connection to darling one way or the other but darling doesnt know them all that well. Then one day a mysterious stalker letter arrives detailing how they are gonna be darlings one and only, and how people will start to disappear if they get too close. You ignore it, thinking its some sort of prank but as the days go by strange murders start occurring in town and they are all related in some small way to darling. A janiter darling bumped into is later found dead in a dumpster, flirty barista who asked for darlings number gets stabbed in the ally behind the shop, and countless more. People are starting to freak out and its up to darling to figure out who this killer is, and theyve nailed it down to 9 suspects. Its up to you to figure out who done it and catch the murderer, before they make good on their promise.

plot twist everyone murdered at least one person and they'll all just trying to figure out who murdered the others because "i only killed the flirty barista, that hard working janitor is on you bud" "Don't put that shit on me I'm strictly poison but DES-" and darling is just like "aha what the fuck"

[nightmaretyrantvantas]

 Ok guys its finally finished!!

Introducing the last two main families in my anxciet au!

Please meet the princes

The Prince family

( from left to right)

Rebecca Prince

The boys’s Mother, goes by the names Mother, Ma, and Bec-bec

Her and Diana have been married for 7 years at this point, and been together for about 10(they met and started dating on and off since high school until they got back together permanently during college)

Punk mom punk mom punk mom punk mom punk mom-

She raised roman on her own for his first year before remus was born, in which she started dating Diana again more seriously

She majored in nursing and later in  sociology in college before dropping out to take care of her boys and raise them right

Shes currently going back to school for the sociology degree inbetween her current job

She works as nurse and receptionist at a doctors office in town

Shes in her mid forties current time( where roman is 22, remus is 21, and kingley is 14)

Shes a pretty tough love kinda parent, and doesnt mind rough housing with her boys when they get too out of line and rowdy( they all enjoy the playfullness of it)

But compared to Diana she is not the scary when angry parent, and she can actually be pretty lenient with the boys depending on the situation

She also tends to be the one who gives into their requests and in kingley’s case, puppy eyes, though she puts on a tough front when she does

Rebecca is such a softie for her family I just i cant she loves them so much

She makes dad jokes just to annoy and embarrass her sons, but only makes either classic dad jokes or purposely really bad ones

100% supportive of her older boys’s relationships, and loves to tease Roman about Patton all the time

She also enjoys building things, and helped build the play structure and treehouse that are in the backyard.

Shes probably the reason Remus has no filter, as she has little filter herself

Her hair is naturally honey brown but she dyed it recently to make a statement to a shitty coworker so currently her hair is purple blue and pink

Shes usually pretty reserved around anyone thats not her family, so its a bit of a shock when people see her playful and rowdy compared to her reserved, professional front

Remus prince

The middle child at 21 but hey he can (legally) drink!

Wild feral trash man no matter what, but now hes got a switchblade and two brothers hed fucking kill for( though he wont admit it about roman)

Hes dating Logan and shows a slightly softer side to him only, and hes ride or die with his boyfriend

He tried college but it didnt suit him, so he ended up dropping out and instead getting two part time jobs: one as a vet assistant and one as a bartender, both located near his current apartment

Hes been best friends with Ethen for as long as he can remember, they grew up together and he considers Ethen a brother practically, and remus would probably be in a bad place without him and Remus recognizes this

He has a love for theater and acting that he shares with his older brother Roman and was in pretty much every school performance growing up, and even majored in theater for a bit when he was in college

He also writes alot of original short horror stories 

Hes an adrenaline junkie and loves doing reckless things for the fun of it( usually dragging Ethen or Logan along with him)

He doesnt have a youtube channel of his own but he pops up frequently enough on Ethen’s channel when joining him for explorations that Ethen’s subscribers know him well, and love seeing him in videos

Hes only got two filter and their names are Logan and Ethen 

He wants to get a snakes as pets just as much as Ethen but Their apartment has strict rules 

That did not however stop him from bringing home a in rehabilitation small fresh water turtle home from work one day, and its the only exception to the no pets rule because Remus fought tooth and nail over the fact it was part of his JOB DAMMIT HES KEPPING THE TURTLE IT NEEDS CONSTANT CARE--

ahem. anyway the turtles name is Sir snappy and he adores her

He LOVES teasing both his brothers, even if it means getting teased back he can usually take what he dishes out

usually.

He also has a drivers license but does not currently have a car as he is trying to save up to buy a motorcycle 

Kingley “King” Prince

The youngest of the family!! The also the shortest!!

He goes by the nickname “ King” and has for a couple years now

Hes fourteen and hes very upbeat and cheerful!

Hes also one of Andy’s best friends( He isnt crushing on andy dont listen to remus) and theyve been friends since second grade

Did I mention that they have sleepovers as often as they can? Because they try to. Usually King, andy, and Liam are nearly glued to the hips unless they cant be

Hes got a wild imagination and lots of ideas that he loves to share and try to put out as songs, stories, drawings, etc

He has severe ADHD and takes medication to help him narrow his focus more, as well as to keep his energy levels more consistent so he wouldnt be hugely energetic in the morning and dull and falling asleep by noon. But the medication doesnt effect his creativity sometimes it even helps boost it because he can focus better on his ideas instead of getting too many ideas at once to focus on and work on

His hair has blonde highlights in the winter and looks nearly fully blonde in the summer

Hes got his mama’s caramel brown eyes and tanner skin, as apposed to his ma’s more peachy skin and green eyes

This boy loves to wrestle and roughhouse, hes got alot of energy that needs to be ran out by bedtime and what better way then wrestling his older brothers for the tv remote when they visit? Or playing games at the park or in the backyard until the sun goes down 

He also loves to sing and draw, he can usually be caught humming and you can find doodles all over his homework and school assignments

He also got braces when he was 12 and he loves them and always gets new colors for them as often as he can convinces his parents to agree to

Roman Prince

The eldest brother at 22!

He works at the local theater as a theater tech and assistant director and also performs in a good chunk of the plays put on as well

He loves his job, especially when they put on musicals

He has a college degree in directing and one in music composing

Hes known his boyfriend patton since they were kids since their families are really close, 

He also writes his own short plays and stories that are sometimes performed at his work!!

Oh and this boy our boy roman can cook, hes learned all his cooking from his parents and absolutely loves cooking and learning new recipes and experimenting with old recipes! He also brings extra food into work to share with his coworkers and the actors in case someone doesnt have food with them or the money to buy something( as some of the workers there are broke college students or high schools trying to get experience) He and Patton share this hobby and sometimes have playful cooking competitions in their kitchen!!

Hes got a huge dvd collection that fills tree shelves of a bookshelf in their apartment 

He also holds some acting lessons to younger workers at the theater in the case someone is struggling with a role or performace

Roman is also a very smooth motherfucker in the romace department when he wants to be. Hes romantic and pays alot of to little details and goes all out for date nights, whether theyre at home dates or going out dates he tries to make it as perfect to you as possible

Also he speaks spanish and likes to sing to Patton in spanish to swoon him on a bad day

Diana Prince

The boys’s other mother! Goes by Mama, Mum, and baba

Shes in her late thirties early fourties

did I mention theyve been married for years? I did? Good good

Diana is a blunt sweetheart with a bubbly, snappy personallity and a fiery temper

Shes really good with kids and has a degree in child psychology and works as a guidance counselor at the local high school

She also helps out at their neighborhood’s church with events and sometimes helps with services as an organ player

She plays piano and has been since she was young, she can also play the guitar

She absolutely adores her family but watch out if they break a rule or get themselves into trouble she is the stern one and does not let them get out of trouble. Puppy eyes are wasted on her you do the crime you do the time and the extra chores no arguing.

That is not to say that she wont listen and hear her boys out though, its just normally after hearing them out theyre still in the wrong( pray for remus is he ever got arrested for anything cough cough the homecoming incident cough cough)

Shes been friends with Emile since high school and sees his boys almost like her own, and cares for them as such. 

She speaks spanish and told Roman and the others from a young age, but Roman is the only one who kept with it strongly, Remus only uses it when he angry and King is still learning

Shes an amazing cook, on par or even better than Emile( a statement that has been yet to be confirmed)

She is also a confirmed lover of making big meals 

She loves being outdoors and playing with her kids

She also enjoys doing embroidery as a relaxing hobby

And lastly introducing...

The Daniel family!!

(from left to right)

Olivia Daniels

Logan and Liam’s mom! Shes a psychology professor at the local college! 

Shes been going by the name Olivia for about 16 almost 17 years now and shes never been happier!

Olivia is technically their step mother, as she joined the family after Logan and Liam were born, but very early in their lives( Logan was 10 and Liam was three)

shes in her mid thirties

Her and richard have been married for 12 years and are still going strong!!

olivia is more of a gentle soul kinda person, shes peppy and softer spoken and has a very soothing and trusting presence to her. Shes easy to make laugh and loves making people smile

She also enjoys bringing treats to her classes for her overworking students

Shes not much of a cook but she does try dammit

Looks super sweet but shes a force to be reckoned with if you fuck with her children let me tell you

She wouldve made an excellent therapist had she gone into that field, shes good at listening and offering solutions

She also paints in her spare time!! And sells her paintings at local art shows!!

Shes got the worst sweet tooth ever Richard has to hide sweets in the house

She also works at the same college Logan attends, same with his father

Shes the only blonde in the family with green eyes

 Logan Daniels

Out sassy skeptic! He’s 20 years old and currently attending college with a biology major and a astrology minor!

Hes pretty reserved at first glance, being the calm and common sense to both his best friend Virgil and his boyfriend Remus

But hes such a dork when you get to know him. He could go on for hours and hours about his interests(something Remus loves listening to)

He lives in a single person dorm on campus and works in the student union as well as does tutoring sessions for high schools for extra credits

Hes been dating Remus for a good four almost five years , and they met in freshman year of high school

His dorm room is covered in various posters for astrology and bands he enjoys, as well as a few old theater posters from Remus’s old performances

He was  goddamn punk during high school, and Virgil loves to bring this up to embarrass him

He likes to always wear business casual unless hes staying in, and even then sometimes he keeps to his fashion habits a little too hard

Hes a decent cook, but he doesnt refuse the offer of someone else cooking for him either( or even going out to eat now and then) 

Hes a very large and firm skeptic and greatly enjoys debating with virgil different aspects of his beliefs and paranormal experiences, and functions as the one between them to reason away happenings with logic as a way to ease Virgils nerves. 

But he IS willing to see his best friends side of things if he is provided solid proof. 

He also makes plenty of appearances on Virgil’s channel for a variety of reasons, and his fanbase really likes him

Hes also a very protective older brother, and is not afraid to verbal destroy anyone who hurts his little brother(much to Liams angsty horror) 

He does have a car that he put Remus on his insurance for, so if his boyfriend ever DID need to drive it he would without complications

Logan also does join the boys on explorations, though this is a more rare occurance as he’d rather help them edit the videos and put them out in a timely manner

Hes pretty good at managing his student budget, but he has those moments of splurging randomly for things( as we all do sometimes)

Hes got a really REALLY nice laugh that not too many people outside his inner circle have heard

His eyes are a dark blue just like his dads, and he keeps his dark brown hair messy but practical

Liam Daniels

Logan’s baby brother! Our boy is 13 years old!!

Hes andy’s other best friend, and the final link to their little trio

Hes the more stoic of the three, as he is entering his rebellious angsty teen years a couple years early. 

He loves space and the ocean, and wants to be a marine biologist someday.

Hes not the best at being social, thats why hes got King as their talker and hes the snarky fighter

This boi is alot fiestier than he looks but only his friends and family know that, and he will throw down if you even just look at his loved ones the wrong way( despite his height)

He doesnt always get social cues either which makes him come off kinda rude in situations but I promise he doesnt mean it 

Someone got his mothers sweet tooth but cant have too much sugar because it messes with his body too much

like when he crashes from a sugar high he crashes hard and its BAD

Hes the shortest of his friends, just barely half an inch shorter than Andy

He always looks half tired and like he needs coffee but he cant have coffee so...

he loves to read and his room is filled with so many books!!

He also has a stuffed animal collection but shush about that its a secret

Hes also a spicy food lover( at least to a point, nothing too extreme) 

He likes baggier clothes because theyre more comfortable, and he prefers comfort of fashion

His eyes are a brighter blue and he keeps his hair alot neater than his brother’s

Hes also very snappy, with a comeback for almost everything

Richard Daniels

The dad!! He works as a chemistry professor at the college and a part time physics teacher at the local high school( switching days)

Hes very tall at 6′2(compared to the rest of his family)

He looks really strict but hes surprisingly laid back about alot of things( though rules and discipline are NOT one of those things) 

He is in his early fourties

He took care of the boys on his own for logans first ten years and Liams three before he met Olivia

Hes got the scolding parent look and The Tone mastered and sometimes even uses both on his students to get them to behave, with wildly successful results

Hes very logical and skeptical of things “unrealistic”

Was a stressed out stick in the mud before he met his wife, as he was a new single father trying to secure tennure in a teacher job

Hes the cook in the house, and is really good at it.

hes a more silent understood supporter of his children, as he is much more reserved than his wife

But he as the biggest soft spot for her 

He always tries to raise his boys with a strong balanced set of values and manners

He also can play lacrosse, and was considered the best player back in school

He doesnt have a good relationship with his family aside from his mother, so the boys have only met their grandma on that side, as he doesnt want any toxic mindsets or ideals influencing his children( especially Liam)

compared to Olivia  he isnt soft spoken at all but he would rather dissolve issues with communication and clarification, not anger or violence( yeah LIAM)

He also enjoys watching documentaries and doing casual photography from time to time

And its finally done!! All for families are complete and posted!!

Im really proud of these!! Especially the prince family photo! It took me days to figure out the poses...

Bored and thinking about my slasher OC Andy, the Alligator one, and like what her movie arc would look like. The following long ass post details each movie and how good it would be:

Her first movie would be called Gator, releases in the early 80s. It's a suspenseful murder mystery set in Florida that seems to point to the killer disposing of bodies in the swamp for the gators to eat but then its revealed the Killer is killing them with their fucked up teeth so it only looks like theyve been munched on by gators. Andy gets away after being shot a bunch in the end. a solid 8/10 movie, the dialogue kinda sucks

The second movie, which is titled something like Gator II - Birth of a Monster and its a lot like "i know what you did last summer" where a group of now adult friends are being picked off for something they did and it turns out to be Andy seeking revenge for the torment they put her in from her childhood. Andy is arrested in the end but chews through her cuffs and kills the police before escaping. a 4/10, lots of sex scenes between unlikable characters???

Third movie is a clusterfuck, it markets itself as another installment in the franchise but really its a creature feature with elements of the first 2 thrown in. Just called Gator III. HEAVILY rips off Jaws about 30 years too late. The villain here isn't Andy but a congregation of alligators tearing apart a small Florida town, lead by a massive albino gator covered in scars. Andy appears in flashbacks and a house is discovered in the swamp that seems to be where she lived but now is infested with gators. a half rotten skeleton with only one jagged tooth found nearby is implied to be her. 2/10 movie, no one likes it and animals were harmed on set, causing activist pushback

So you know the weird cult plot that happened in the later Halloween movies? The fourth movie, Gator IV - Tooth and Nail does that, retconning Andy's backstory and saying she was groomed by a cult because they see her birth defect as a sign from their demon patron that she will be its vessel. Her remains from last movie are brought back to life in the last half hour as a alligator demon woman that the studio forced the crew to make sexy instead of gross. Effects/makeup for it are practical tho and the movie is considered a 3/10, with some solid kills from the cult throughout and great effects but the pacing sucks and the main cast is awful.

Okay so. Jason X exists, right? Yeah in the late 90s this happens. Titled Sewer Gator. Unrelated to the Andy of the previous movies, a young woman is experimented on in a genetics lab and infused with alligator DNA. She mutates into a fucked up gator woman thats actually gross this time except is 1999 and CGI is the hot new thing and the studio execs cover over all the fun practical effects and makeup with godawful CGI. She escapes the facility and into the sewers of New York where she begins a massacre and continues to mutate until she's exploded with military grade weaponry at the end. a stinger after her death shows she laid eggs but this goes nowhere because the movie makes no money and its never touched again. Surprisingly good actually 7/10, the bluray remaster gets rid of the CG and adds back in as much of the practical footage it can find and it becomes a 8.5/10

The series goes dormant for ten years

The series is rebooted in 2009 with a remake of the OG, except now its called The Swamp. Much more character focused, starting with a herpetologist and a poacher coming to town to help with the alligator problem. Theyre at odds immediately, the poacher insisting the gators need to be dealt with his way but the herpetologist is like "hey these bite marks arent anything like an alligators what the fuck is going on???" the big reveal of the movie is the poacher knows its not an alligator, but his deformed sister who he was keeping locked up until her escape a few years back and he's here to kill her. He's killed in the end by Andy and the herpetologist manages to snare her in a bear trap and get away but when the authorities show up Andy's chewed through her own leg and escaped. 7/10, goes on too long and the reveal exposition is weird and plot holey but audiences enjoy it. Has really good nu-metal on the soundtrack.

The Swamp II comes out 2 years later and sucks so bad. 1/10. The plot takes the Family angle from the last movie and goes full Wrong Turn incest cannibals in the swamps of Florida with it. Weird and creepy and sexual. Andy is there, missing a leg, as the eldest child of this family who serves an insane mother but the movie focuses on her other siblings with their weird deformities let loose now that the "normal" poacher brother is gone. movie heavily implies one of the female characters has sex with an alligator at one point. trash movie, don't watch in a place someone can walk in on you in

Series goes dormant again.

A miniseries drops unexpectedly in 2019. Swamp Diaries. 5 half hour episodes in the style of a found footage film of a group of friends searching for the legendary "Gator Woman of the Swamp." First episode introduces the characters, all likable and well rounded, college age. Second episode is the beginning of the expedition, outlines a lot of the history of the Gator Woman urban legend. Third episode the group runs into actual gators and starts finding weird, Blair Witch esque shit, becoming lost after they have to run from something, the first death happens. Episode four is suspenseful and horrific as the group tries to get home, another person dies. Episode five is the kicker, ending with the reveal Tamara, one of the last survivors, is actually working with the actual Gator woman, her childhood friend who she promised to protect and later on, feed. Ends with Tamara killing the last survivor and telling Andy it's time to go home. 8/10, paced mostly well and very scary, lots of shaky cam but the final twist is a hit with monsterfuckers bc its all but said Tamara and Andy are together.

Geologists think they've found an Alaskan version of Yellowstone's supervolcano

https://sciencespies.com/nature/geologists-think-theyve-found-an-alaskan-version-of-yellowstones-supervolcano/

Geologists think they've found an Alaskan version of Yellowstone's supervolcano

Mount Cleveland looks like the kind of volcano you made for a grade four science project and filled with vinegar and bicarb. More geological zit than powder keg, it pops and oozes every decade or so to thicken its igneous skin.

There are five more like it nearby, making up what’s known as the Islands of Four Mountains. Today, most of them are quiet. But geologists are wondering if together this innocent cluster of volcanoes far from the Alaskan mainland represents something far more Earth-shattering.

Researchers from institutions across the US are set to make their case at the at American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2020 Fall Meeting, arguing that the mountains Cleveland, Carlisle, Herbert, Kagamil, Tana, and Uliaga are all tips of one big magma chamber.

Cone-like stratovolcanoes can blow their tops in impressive ways but tend to emerge from relatively small to modestly sized pockets of magma.

A caldera is a collapsed chunk of crust formed by the collapse of a magma chamber as it empties. Such a collapse can be a relatively subtle sinking of rock crumbling into an empty hole. Under the right conditions, bubbles of gas get caught in the viscous molten rock, forming a pressure cooker that sends rock flying when it erupts.

There’s no single smoking gun as far as evidence of a hidden caldera here goes, but there are plenty of hints. The make-up of certain gases escaping Mount Cleveland, for instance, and the way vents on several of the mountains align point to the possibility that a significant chamber lurks deep underground.

“We’ve been scraping under the couch cushions for data,” says Diana Roman of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC.

“But everything we look at lines up with a caldera in this region.”

If their predictions are right, Alaska’s Aleutian Arc – the line of islands stretching across the Bering Sea towards Russia’s coast – could be harbouring a monster on the scale of Yellowstone’s mighty supervolcano.

The entire chain contains around 80 volcanos in total. Dozens of them have erupted repeatedly in recent history, too, so it’s no secret that it’s a geologically active part of the planet.

One of the most active of the volcanos in the area, Mount Cleveland has erupted more than 20 times in the past two centuries. Some of them haven’t exactly been small affairs, either, with one in 1944 ranking at a ‘catastrophic’ level three on the volcanic explosivity index (VEI).

If a hypothetical supervolcano below were to let rip, the world would know about it. At an 8 on the VEI, the material blown into the atmosphere would affect the global climate for years to come.

Just over two thousand years ago another Aleutian Arc volcano, Okmok, erupted with such ferocity it’s speculated that the resulting changes to the climate half a world away could have been the final nail in the coffin of the Roman Republic.

The caldera beneath the Islands of Four Mountains promises a much bigger display.

As concerning as it all sounds, there are plenty more data to gather before we can sound any alarms.

“Our hope is to return to the Islands of Four Mountains and look more closely at the seafloor, study the volcanic rocks in greater detail, collect more seismic and gravity data, and sample many more of the geothermal areas,” says Roman.

Even if confirmed, it’ll take time to build a clear understanding of the caldera’s workings. Yellowstone’s supervolcano is located in a rather convenient spot for geologists, providing plenty of data all year round. And we’re still debating just what’s going on deep below Earth’s skin.

Still, thoughts of apocalyptic explosions aside, knowing Mount Cleveland is tapping into a caldera could help volcanologists better understand the nature of its eruptions. With plumes pushing more than five kilometres (3 miles) into the air, there’s the threat to air travel in that part of the world to think about.

“It does potentially help us understand what makes Cleveland so active,” says lead author John Power,  a researcher with the US Geological Survey at the Alaska Volcano Observatory.

“It can also help us understand what type of eruptions to expect in the future and better prepare for their hazards.”

This research will be presented at the AGU Fall Meeting 2020.

Re visualise to, find out and conduct a self-assessment to understand whats important to you, she advises.\n serious as important isavoiding frantic influencers that dissolve detract from your top executive to make a level-headed decision. Just because family members citeed a particular drill for generations does not make it the ri ght discipline for you, for instance. You genuinely call for to hold up yourself and not be influenced by emotional pulls, says Richards.\nSeek Advice from pertly-fashioned MBA Graduates\nBusiness disciplinerankings squeeze out avail you follow a relish for whats out there, nevertheless public lecture to colleagues who put up MBAs set up be even much valuable, Richards advises. stimulate vigorous their experience and what they would do polarly if they were choosing an MBA today.\nLook for more than recent alums if possible, she recommends. Most MBA political chopines moderate changed drastically over the destination 10 years theyve overhauled their curriculums, constructed new buildings and the nature of the c atomic number 18er search has withal changed dramatically. Therefore, someone who sorb a long age ago quartert put out the most current insights.\nYour avow network testament depart possibilities as well. Think approximately people you a ttended college with who fill gone on to get an MBA and r each(prenominal) out to them, or look within your phoner or professional networks, Richards suggests.\n pick up three to four alumni and intercommunicate for five or 10 minutes of their time, says Richards. Go to each one with a amount of five to six questions that atomic number 18 important to you. Were you challenged at your MBA program? Were your crystalizemates intellectually curious? Was it an active learning milieu? What was the subtlety at the tutor? Was it top-notch competitive, team focused, collaborative?\nOf course, you cogency also motive to convey most extra-curricular activities, club activities, trips or treks, leadership opportunities, and access to faculty. divers(prenominal) characteristics whitethorn pick out different meaning for candidates, she points out. Prospective applicants who be ideateing closely prosecute an MBA as part of a c beer change may want to contend about specific reso urces available to befriend with that process, whereas that wont be as important to someone who plans to pass to their employer or arising their throw business.\nDont forget to inquire about a schools community. The ability to move or engage and puzzle an invasion or get off a legacy is important, Richards says.\n cut down aims If Possible\n\nAfter talk with alumni, you should be able to nail the list of schools that interest you. Richards encourages prospective applicants to catch schools whenever possible, ideally when classes argon in session and you can sit in on one. See what the engagement amid faculty and savants is manage, Richard recommends. How involved are the students? Are they participating and tenanted? What are the facilities like? What resources are available to students? How happy do the students seem?\nIf you cant visit, tot with the school. See what happens do you get a response from the school, from the students? Candidates can get a nose out o f how important they are to a school based on how responsive the members of its community are.\nIts not terribly important whether you visit before or after(prenominal) you apply, that definitely visit if you can before you make an enrollment decision, she stresses. I a cracking deal hear people say, Cornell wasnt on my radar until I visited, or I was sure I wanted to attend X school, until I visited.\nIn legal injury of getting a whole step for the culture of the school, your exceed spiel is to meet with current students and ask about their activities and extracurricular interests. If you can, attend a cultural event, perceive to a guest talker or, even better, attend a class or free by a school happy hour. Johnson recently hosted tops(p) Saturday, when dozens of prospective students visited campus to interview. We happened that wickedness to have our Diwali celebration qualifying on, which gave participating prospectives a great opportunity to see for themselves the v ariety of events our students take part in, Richards recalls. Although Diwali is an Indian celebration, it certainly wasnt just Indian students participating. It genuinely gives candidates a finger of what it is like to be a student here.\nIt usually doesnt take long to figure out if you click with a school or not, Richards notes. I dont think a school should have to grow on you. You should do it when you visit that its a confide you can see yourself world happy, she says.\nSize and Location effect\nWhen it puzzles to MBA programs, size does matter since it can impact the network you begin. When you are considering schools, think about whether or not a class is segmented into cohorts, she advises. If you get to roll in the hay 30 people really, really well still dont receipt anyone else that might be a disadvantage to you. It might not, but its something worth thinking about.\nDo you want a metropolis school or a school that is part of a smaller community? Richards conn ect Johnsons cobblers last-knit community to the detail that it is not in a large urban center. E genuinelyone is close to campus a five-minute walk quite of a subway call on the carpet followed by two buses, she notes. Thats confessedly not just for students but also faculty and staff, she continues. Its not uncommon for faculty to say, Im leaving home to have dinner party with my kids but Ill come back and see you in the library at 8:30. That does not happen at all schools.\nAssessing a Schools calling Services\nRecognizing that the success of a locomote function maculation can be influenced greatly by the economy, you can dumb get a timbre for what kind of support youll sustain in a wedded program, as well as how aligned their go services are with your own goals. A school may have tremendous success in placing students who want to go into consulting or finance but really struggle with candidates who want to move marketing, for example.\nAs prospective applicants l ook at a schools career services, they should look not yet at the general berth rate but also at specifics in respectfulness to their individual interests, Richards says. If a school has a lower boilers suit locating rate than other(a) schools, but 25 part of students are interested in entrepreneurial studies and looking to lower their own businesses upon graduation, suddenly that placement rate doesnt look so bad. It is important that students look at the placement statistics through the lense of what they want to do.\nWhat Role Do Students Play on Campus?\nI think as a prospective applicant you want to look for leadership opportunities, potency to have an impact, orchestrating or facilitating change, spearheading an administration or a club, and how spontaneous the school is to support that, Richards continues.\nIf having an impact and getting involved as an MBA student is important to you, ask current students how easy it is to start a club or organize a assembly and what kind of support the school provides if you do. Those kinds of questions get out be very valuable to students, particularly those that like to get involved and aim change. They would be really thwarted if they landed in an environment where their voice wasnt heard or valued.\nKnow Thyself\n\nAs an MBA student you will have the best experience and get the most benefit out of the program that is the best fit for you. That makes well-educated yourself and what you want a decisive part of the decision-making process. Think about whether you want a fine-looking or small program, whether take for granted a leadership character is one of your priorities, and what support you will need in your career search.\nTry not to bond on brand names, Richards offers. You need to look not plainly at the brand but at what the schools benefit is how it will help you achieve your goals, grow, and develop your leadership skills, she says.\nSo, there you have it. With targeted research, campus visits and a thorough self-assessment, you can be well on your way to selecting the perfect MBA program for you.\nRelated articles\nCornell Universitys Johnson School of Management Wins Top Accolades for Diversity (clearadmit.com)\n puniness Tuesday: International Study at Johnson (clearadmit.com)\nCornells Johnson School Unveils Curriculum for newly One-Year MBA Program on NYC Tech Campus (clearadmit.com)\nCornells Johnson Graduate School of Business is an advertiser on the unload Admit site.
