![]() These conditions were followed by persistent weather patterns that produced storms over the same locations. The stage was set in 1992 with a wet fall which resulted in above normal soil moisture and reservoir levels in the Missouri and Upper Mississippi River basins. Uniquely extreme weather and hydrologic conditions led to the flood of 1993. The number of record river levels, the aerial extent, the number of persons displaced, amount of crop and property damage and its duration surpassed all earlier U.S. The use of sandbags (typically mined from local sources) often helps reinforce these levees, preventing a possible disaster.The size and impact of the Great Flood of 1993 was unprecedented and is considered the most costly and devastating flood to ravage the U.S. Over time these deposits build up creating natural levees.īreaches in levees, both natural and manmade, have occurred over time. The coarser materials tend to get dropped from the water along the edges of the channel. When the river floods, it deposits silt, sand and gravel along the floodplain. In addition to man-made levees, the Mississippi River also creates its own natural levees. Man made levees can also be constructed as concrete walls, such as those in downtown Vicksburg. These levees can be constructed by building up earth mounds to a height above the expected flood level. Some of these levee walls can be seen in downtown Vicksburg. These levees protect towns along the river from a massive flood disaster. The current channel of the Mississippi River is held in place by a series of artificial levees constructed by the U.S. Because so much infrastructure has been built on these flood plains, major flooding can lead to damaged property and other dangers, which has led to the construction of levees along the river. During a flood, the river will overflow its banks and spread across the flood plain. ![]() The flat land extending beyond the river channel is known as the flood plains. The Mississippi River floods most years, predominantly in late spring during peak runoff season. Seasonal flooding is expected every year, but it varies greatly depending on the timing and quantity of snow melt and heavy rain events. In the spring of 2018, the Mississippi River crested at 55.8 feet, less than two feet from the historic flood of 2011. Earlier in the month on May 9th, the flow of the river past Vicksburg reached over 2 million cubic feet per second. In Vicksburg, the flood crest reached 57.1 ft on May 18. The Great Flood of 2011 was the most recent extreme flooding event. The man-made concrete levee in downtown Vicksburg helps to keep the flooding waters out of the town, and contain murals of the local history. This significantly accelerated the Great Migration. After flood waters receded, thousands of African American families left the south forever to seek a better life in the north. There were also issues of forced unpaid labor and unequal distribution of food in many of the refugee camps. These camps ranged in size and quality of living conditions. In addition to destroying thousands of homes and business, the flood also contributed to the already heavy tensions regarding race relations in the early 20th century. Near Vicksburg, the river was nearly 80 miles wide, reaching the town of Monroe, LA. This flood affected nearly the entire Mississippi Delta region. After a levee failed in Mounds Landing, MS flood waters were able to reach towns nearly 60 miles away from the river. In Vicksburg, the crest of the flood was 56.2 feet. The Great Flood of 1927 was one of the biggest and most devastating floods along the river. There have been several historically significant floods over the last century. In other years, flooding proves to be devastating to communities along the river. Some years provide much needed water and nutrients to farmland in the flood plains. The intensity of flooding along the Mississippi River varies from year to year. Having a good idea of what the river is capable of is an important step in ensuring the safety of the people and property along the Mississippi River corridor. Because of our relationship with the river, understanding the river is important. Today, farms, homes, industries and even entire towns are located along the banks of the Mississippi River. Humans have relied heavily on the Mississippi River and its tributaries for thousands of years. Refugees in camp near the Louisiana Monument during the Great Flood of 1927

The space agency says the average time between Super Blue Moons is 10 years. While a super blue moon could happen twice within the same month, they can also be separated by periods as long as 20 years, according to NASA. When is the next Super Blue Moon?īlue moon/supermoon coincidences are a lot rarer than either individual supermoons or Blue Moons. The moon may appear slightly larger and brighter during a supermoon, but this will be imperceptible to anyone except those skywatchers who have significant experience observing the moon. ![]() The distance between Earth and the moon during perigee and apogee ranges from around 220,000 miles (350,000 kilometers) to 253,000 miles (408,000 km), a difference of around 14%.ĭespite this disparity in Earth-moon distance, there isn't a huge difference in how the moon actually looks in the sky during a standard full moon and during a supermoon. That means there are times in the moon's orbit when it is farther away - at apogee - and times when it is closer - at perigee. This happens because the moon's orbit around our planet isn't circular, but rather elliptical like a flattened circle or an oval. 30, however.Ī supermoon occurs when a full moon falls during a period when the moon is closer to Earth. ![]() Not all Blue Moons are supermoons like the full moon of Aug. ![]() Thus, one of those months will have to accommodate two full moons and, thus, has a Blue Moon.īecause the moon's cycle takes 29.5 days to go from one full moon to the next, that means this month saw the Full Sturgeon Moon at the start of the month and a second, the Blue Moon, at the end of the month. Full moons occur around 12.4 times a year, and that means that every 2.8 years, a 12-month period has 13 full moons. As explained above, a Blue Moon is commonly classified as the second full moon of a single calendar month (although it technically refers to the third full moon in a season that has four full moons). ![]() You get a very big screen for a tablet – 14.6 in, which dwarves the largest iPad Pro. If you prefer an Android tablet and need plenty of power, the new Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra delivers that, and for a very reasonable price given its specs. ![]() ![]() A nice feature is this newer Surface Pro can use the keyboard and stylus of the Surface Pro 8, saving you money if upgrading. Whichever model you choose – again, opt for the Intel builds – the Surface Pro 9 is a quality tablet, with a fantastic screen and light and tactile build. If you're looking for a decent web-browsing, cloud-based tablet for online classes and writing, then the 5G model is good (though there are cheaper tablets on this list that can do this as well). Our Surface Pro 9 review found that if you're looking to replace your laptop with a powerful and adaptable tablet (that's also a laptop), and are wedded to Windows, then Surface Pro 9 is an excellent option. The thing to watch here is the build – the Intel i5 and i7 models are excellent high-end machines while the 5G SQ3 model is built for battery life, and so lacks some power to run complex software.įor the money, I'd opt for the Intel i5 model that can run full software such as Photoshop with ease and can be paired with the excellent Surface Pro stylus and keyboard for a complete package. The Microsoft Surface pro 9 is a powerful tablet that, like iPad Pro, can be turned into a decent desktop computer by clicking in a cover/keyboard hybrid. See our full iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) review for more details. In that department, it shouldn't disappoint. Of course, we hesitate to recommend this as the best tablet for students because of the price, and we'd say it's only worth splashing out on if you really need the specs you need to run power-hungry editing apps. We found darker areas to have more nuance and depth to them, making for a better and more accurate image that's excellent for photo and video editing. Its peak brightness is 1,600 nits, and with better control of local dimming, it's more pleasant to look at for long periods. The HDR display is the best we've seen on a tablet, with a 120Hz refresh rate and a resolution of 2048 x 2732. Pair it with a keyboard and mouse, and it could could even use it as a super portable laptop. As Apple's most powerful tablet, it doesn't come with a very student-friendly price, but you get a device that can handle even the most demanding visual design tasks with almost MacBook-level power. The big appeal of the iPad Mini is its portability, but if your area of study needs power (and you have a bigger budget), we recommend the iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) as the best student tablet for those on creative courses. See our full iPad mini 6 review for more details. We found the brightness to be very even, making it pleasant to use for long periods, and we were very impressed with the colour accuracy. While you're still paying a fairly premium Apple price, we reckon the iPad Mini 2021 offers solid value for money. The display is a little larger than that of the last iPad Mini, even though the overall body is smaller, with a 3:2 aspect ratio. For example, when we reviewed the tablet, we used it with a USB DAC to listen to Apple's Lossless Hi-Res music, and with a USB mic to record a voiceover. There's a very welcome USB-C port, which opens up a lot of possibilities. We found the compact size and lightweight (less than 300g) make the tablet perfect for use on the go, for example on transport. This iteration uses a reworked version of the A15 Bionic chip for powerful processing, and while some users may feel frustrated by only 4GB of RAM, realistically this should be enough for the tasks you'd want to do on a screen this small. It also got a processor boost that makes it a pretty powerful compact little device. Ever since it received Apple Pencil support the iPad Mini has been a firm favourite of ours, and the September 2021 update made it an even better option, adding Apple Pencil 2 compatibility. ![]() Just click any template and you can customize the font, images, and layout.

Common brand names of sucralose-based sweeteners are Splenda, Zerocal, Sukrana, SucraPlus, Candys, Cukren, and Nevella. The commercial success of sucralose-based products stems from its favorable comparison to other low-calorie sweeteners in terms of taste, stability, and safety. Therefore, it can be used in baking or in products that require a long shelf life. Evidence of benefit is lacking for long-term weight loss with some data supporting weight gain and heart disease risks.It is stable under heat and over a broad range of pH conditions. Sucralose is about 320 to 1‚000 times sweeter than sucrose, three times as sweet as both aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and twice as sweet as sodium saccharin. It is produced by chlorination of sucrose. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number E955. The majority of ingested sucralose is not broken down by the body, so it is noncaloric.

Martin, right, is well-matched with Kenneth Wigley in “Troilus & Cressida.”Ĭlaire F. It says a lot that in a production full of moving performances, the two of them manage to walk away with the show. Her ability to pull laughs is nearly as powerful as the all-or-nothing physicality that she brings to the character. As for LaChe, her Thersites is an unrestrained and irrepressible force. King’s Pandarus is a breath of fresh air, and with King’s natural storytelling skills, what could be little more than necessary exposition becomes one of the most enjoyable sequences of the show. Both possess unerring comedic instincts and such an intrinsic understanding of the text that it is impossible for a single line to fall flat while in their capable hands. However, the momentum that it does build is due primarily to the comedic stylings of King and LaChe, whose names will almost certainly stay with the audience. ![]() The first act is admittedly slow and drags a bit around the midway point. Director Jemma Alix Levy has leaned more toward the comical for this production, ironically striking a balance that manages to tease out the central themes of the play. The play is not easily classified as a tragedy or comedy due to the fact that it swings wildly between bawdy comedy and dark psychological drama. Troilus and Cressida has long been considered one of Shakespeare’s “problem plays” - those that defy classical categorization. If that firm tonal balance does not make the show worth seeing, trust that performances by Adam King and Antonia LaChe alone are worth the price of admission. While the pacing has its flaws, this is a top-notch production with equal measures of emotionally charged tension and side-splitting hilarity - and an arguably feminist message coded into its romantic conflict. The above description came from Elwin Blaine Coldiron, and was edited by yours truly.In Shakespeare Tavern’s current production of Troilus and Cressida, running now through September 24, almost everything is a delight, from the spot-on performances to the fast-paced, emotional sensibility that keeps the audience engaged and invested in the story.

He was overridden by the glory-thinking general, and as Bardroy expected, the platoon was wiped-out, himself being the only survivor. Insightful, Bardroy found himself contradicting his superior officer on a plan of attack during wartime, knowing that the platoon he was in was being led into a trap.
