That meant he started the grand prix itself from last position. Just one year on from his famous win the Frenchman had a nightmare under the sprint format, qualifying sixth but then crashing out of the sprint race. A good example was Pierre Gasly at the 2021 Italian Grand Prix. Under the old format, where the result of the sprint race was a double-whammy, giving points out to the top eight and setting the grid for Sunday, drivers erred on the side of caution for the shorter format to not compromise the main event.Ī crash would have a massive impact. Will the new format make the sprint more exciting?į1 certainly hopes so. So the Sunday main event is still the more rewarding session in terms of the championship. That is a big difference to the grand prix, where points are given to the top ten, 25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1, with a bonus point for anyone in the top ten who secures the fastest lap of the race. In the sprint, points are given to the top eight in descending order, 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. As it ran under the old format, he started the race from eighth position having dropped to that position in the sprint race which followed. So for example, when Kevin Magnussen took pole position in qualifying at the Brazilian Grand Prix last year, he would have started from first position on Sunday under the new schedule. A bad result or a crash in the sprint race will no longer ruin a driver's starting position for the race itself. The change means everything that happens on Saturday is now dedicated to the sprint. In the record books, pole position will be the driver who qualifies fastest on Friday. In both, five drivers will be eliminated from Q1 and Q2 apiece, leaving ten drivers to fight it out in Q3. In Q1 and Q2 it must be new mediums, while drivers setting a lap time in Q3 will have to do so on new soft tyres. The Shootout dictates that all teams must use new tyres. The other major difference between Friday qualifying and Saturday Shootout will be tyres. It also means drivers setting a time late in the session are more at risk of a red flag leaving them with no qualifying time at all, potentially creating a mixed up grid order for the sprint. It is hoped that the shorter times will create more jeopardy, especially in Q3, where traffic or incidents on track could limit drivers to just a single timed attempt. The key difference between Friday qualifying and the Saturday Shootout will be timings. Not only is that practice session now gone, but it has made way for a shorter, standalone qualifying session on Saturday - dubbed Sprint Shootout - which will set the grid for the sprint race itself. This schedule was unpopular with teams, who said the Saturday practice session was effectively irrelevant. The result of that shortened race would then set the grid for Sunday's showpiece event. Previously, F1's main qualifying event on Friday, which is run in segments called Q1, Q2 and Q3, would set the grid for the sprint race. So what's changed? Why? And will it make a big difference? The old format The Dutchman has gone so far as to suggest F1's constant tweaking and expanding of the sprint format will eventually lead to him quitting the sport. The format has been met with a mixed reception and remains controversial, with reigning world champion Max Verstappen one of its biggest critics. The sprint is a shortened version of the grand prix, 100km of the circuit - in Baku that will equate to 17 laps. That format has been polished up for the six events which will run under a sprint schedule in 2023. ![]() ![]() The sprint race was introduced to spice up certain races, offering venues the chance to effectively have three days of competitive running (Qualifying on Friday, a sprint race on Saturday, race on Sunday) rather than an entire Friday dedicated to practice sessions.

Also often referred to as a “red rat snake” in some regions, the corn snake is very brightly colored snake that is redder than the copperhead. Which Snakes Look Like Copperheads?Ĭommon copperhead look-a-like the corn snake.Įspecially for people with minor color blindness, it can be easy to mistake the color of the reddish brown or rust corn snakes for the tan, light brown, copper/rust colored copperheads. The hour glasses tend to be the most solid near the middle of the body, but the sides should always be clearly thicker than the middle – hence the stem or “hour glass” look. The hour glass pattern can look like a Hershey’s Kiss candy from the side, and they don’t always have to connect, the patterns can be broken up. Triangular heads almost always are a give away of a pit viper (although the hog snake has a weird defense mechanism where it can puff up the head that can make it look somewhat similar), and if you see actual fangs, that’s a copperhead…and you’re almost certainly standing way too close to an agitated snake. There are also a few other dead giveaways. Since the classic “hour glass” identification isn’t always 100% perfect (or connected) it’s good to see several examples.Įven early on, that pattern is still very present on young copperhead snakes and will only continue to darken and form as they age and grow. This picture also shows a pretty good “hour glass” that is really thin in the middle and looks a little different but is still easy to identify. Notice the yellow tail on this one – a clear indication that this is a young copperhead that is less than a year old. This is a young venomous copperhead snake, and a lighter shade than what most people think of when it comes to copper, tan, brown, etc. If you see a bright yellow tail, give the snake plenty of space because that’s a major tell-tale sign of a young (under one year old) copperhead.Ī really good picture of this is the one off to the right here. There are some sub-species that can have a more grayish tint, and very young copperheads will often have very bright yellow tails that should act as an immediate red flag. Regional variances occur, but the base look of most copperheads will be the same most of the time: copper, tan, brown, rust – with especially dark hour glass blotches down the body. While this is a solid base of similar colors, they can vary a bit into grays and young baby copperhead snakes often even have yellow or yellowish tails. That can easily cause confusion, especially when there are local variations in shade of color or you have individuals who are mildly color blind – that definitely throws a wrench in identification! True to their name, generally copperheads are a combination of various shades of deep copper and tan, a combination that is insanely good for camouflage but is also copied by many other snakes sharing their habitat. You can see the hour glass and/or Hershey Kisses marks clearly here. So how can you tell actual copperhead pit vipers from non-venomous water snakes that often have similar patterns? Read on to find out! ![]() Those bites still require medical treatment and those medical bills (even with insurance) can be five figures or more.Ĭopperheads are known for blending in, and there are several look-alike snakes that are often mistaken for the venomous version because of similar patterns and coloring – which is a beneficial survival mechanism to non-venomous snakes. If you live in an area with copperheads, that means being able to identify them quickly, as well as the multiple non-venomous snakes that often look like copperheads.īites from a copperhead are the least likely venomous snake bites to kill a healthy adult, but they are also the most likely to strike. snakes to bite a human) versus those many copies.

In that account, Prometheus was a son of the Titan Iapetus by Clymene or Asia, one of the Oceanids. ![]() The first recorded account of the Prometheus myth appeared in the late 8th-century BC Greek epic poet Hesiod's Theogony ( 507–616). Prometheus depicted in a sculpture by Nicolas-Sébastien Adam, 1762 ( Louvre) The reference is again to the "fire-drill", a worldwide primitive method of fire making using a vertical and a horizontal piece of wood to produce fire by friction. The suggestion that Prometheus was in origin the human "inventor of the fire-sticks, from which fire is kindled" goes back to Diodorus Siculus in the first century BC. Pramant was the fire-drill, the tool used to create fire. The Vedic myth of fire's theft by Mātariśvan is an analogue to the Greek account. It has also been theorised that it derives from the Proto-Indo-European root that also produces the Vedic pra math, "to steal", hence pramathyu-s, "thief", cognate with "Prometheus", the thief of fire. Kerényi remarks that these names are "not transparent", and may be different readings of the same name, while the name "Prometheus" is descriptive. Hesychius of Alexandria gives Prometheus the variant name of Ithas, and adds "whom others call Ithax", and describes him as the Herald of the Titans. The usual view is that it signifies "forethought", as that of his brother Epimetheus denotes "afterthought". The etymology of the theonym prometheus is debated. In particular, he was regarded in the Romantic era as embodying the lone genius whose efforts to improve human existence could also result in tragedy: Mary Shelley, for instance, gave The Modern Prometheus as the subtitle to her novel Frankenstein (1818). In the Western classical tradition, Prometheus became a figure who represented human striving (particularly the quest for scientific knowledge) and the risk of overreaching or unintended consequences. He was a focus of religious activity mainly at Athens, where he was linked to Athena and Hephaestus, who were the Greek deities of creative skills and technology. Evidence of a cult to Prometheus himself is not widespread. In another myth, Prometheus establishes the form of animal sacrifice practiced in ancient Greek religion. In yet more symbolism, the struggle of Prometheus is located by some at Mount Elbrus or at Mount Kazbek, two volcanic promontories in the Caucasus Mountains beyond which for the ancient Greeks lay the realm of the barbarii. ![]() According to several major versions of the myth, most notably that of Hesiod, Prometheus was eventually freed by the hero Heracles. His liver would then grow back overnight, only to be eaten again the next day in an ongoing cycle. Prometheus was bound to a rock, and an eagle-the emblem of Zeus-was sent to eat his liver (in ancient Greece, the liver was thought to be the seat of human emotions). Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, condemned Prometheus to eternal torment for his transgression. The punishment of Prometheus for stealing fire from Olympus and giving it to humans is a subject of both ancient and modern culture. He is sometimes presented as the father of Deucalion, the hero of the flood story. Prometheus is known for his intelligence and for being a champion of mankind, and is also generally seen as the author of the human arts and sciences. In some versions of the myth, he is also credited with the creation of humanity from clay. Prometheus is best known for defying the Olympian gods by stealing fire from them and giving it to humanity in the form of technology, knowledge, and more generally, civilization. In Greek mythology, Prometheus ( / p r ə ˈ m iː θ i ə s/ Ancient Greek: Προμηθεύς,, possibly meaning " forethought") is sometimes referred to as the Titan god of fire. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hopefully this feature will be incorporated in the future or that the built-in bibliography module of OOo 3.0 will be as good as Bibdesk, in terms of engineering and human interface.
