Although his father was the giant Fárbauti, he was included among the Aesir (a tribe of gods). Loki was represented as the companion of the great gods Odin and Thor, helping them with his clever plans but sometimes causing embarrassment and difficulty for them and himself. He also appeared as the enemy of the gods, entering their banquet uninvited and demanding their drink. He was the principal cause of the death of the god Balder. Loki was bound to a rock (by the entrails of one or more of his sons, according to some sources) as punishment, thus in many ways resembling the Greek figures Prometheus and Tantalus. Also like Prometheus, Loki is considered a god of fire.With the female giant Angerboda (Angrboda: âDistress Bringerâ), Loki produced the progeny Hel, the goddess of death; Jörmungand, the serpent that surrounds the world; and Fenrir (Fenrisúlfr), the wolf. Loki is also credited with giving birth to Sleipnir, Odinâs eight-legged horse.Volcanic eruptions are among the most stunning phenomena in the natural world. Volcanoes erupt because of the way heat moves beneath Earthâs surface. Heat is conveyed from the planetâs interior to its surface largely by convectionâthe transfer of heat by movement of a heated fluid. In this case, the fluid is magmaâmolten or partially molten rockâwhich is formed by the partial melting of Earth's mantle and crust. The magma rises, and, in the last step in this heat-releasing process, erupts at the surface through volcanoes.Most volcanoes are associated with plate tectonic activity. For example, volcanoes of Japan, Iceland, Indonesia, and numerous other places occur on the margins of the massive solid rocky plates that make up Earthâs surface. When one plate slides under another, water trapped in the subducted, sinking plate is squeezed out of it by enormous pressure, which produces enough heat to melt nearby rock, forming magma. Since the magma is more buoyant than the surrounding rock, it rises, and it may collect in chambers nearer to the surface. As a chamber fills up, the pressure inside may increase. When the downward pressure produced by the weight of rock above the chamber is less than the upward pressure produced by rock below the chamber, cracks often form above. Eventually the upward pressure may push the magma through the cracks and out of vents at the surface, where it becomes lava. In fact, strictly speaking, the term volcano refers to just such a vent, although it can also refer to the landform created by the accumulation of solidified lava and volcanic debris near the vent.
It all started when I took a ride in a self-driving Tesla to find out the truth about Elonâs new AI project⦠Once upon a time there were two neighbors: one of them rich and the other poor. They owned a great meadow in common, which they were supposed to mow together and then divide the hay. But the rich neighbor wanted the meadow for himself alone, and told the poor one that he would drive him out of house and home if he did not come to an agreement with him that whichever one of them mowed the largest stretch of the meadowland in a single day, should receive the entire meadow. Now the rich neighbor got together as many mowers as ever he could; but the poor one could not hire a single man. At last he despaired altogether and wept, because he did not know how he could manage to get so much as a bit of hay for the cow. Then it was that a large man stepped up to him and said: "Do not grieve so. I can tell you what you ought to do. When the mowing begins, just call out 'Old Hopgiant!' three times in succession, and you'll not be at a loss, as you shall see for yourself." And with that he disappeared. Then the poor man's heart grew less heavy, and he gave over worrying. So one fine day his rich neighbor came along with no fewer than twenty farmhands, and they mowed down one swath after another. But the poor neighbor did not even take the trouble to begin when he saw how the others took hold, and that he himself would not be able to do anything alone. Then the big man occurred to him, and he called out: "Old Hopgiant!" But no one came, and the mowers all laughed at him and mocked him, thinking he had gone out of his mind. Then he called again: "Old Hopgiant!" And, just as before, there was no hopgiant to be seen. And the mowers could scarcely swing their scythes; for they were laughing fit to split. And then he cried for the third time: "Old Hopgiant!" And there appeared a fellow of truly horrible size, with a scythe as large as a ship's mast.
