Some telescopes can resolve down to about one arcsecond – and invisible distance to the naked eye. So what do scientists use to measure an arcsecond? Telescopes, of course, some of which let them see views of one degree or less. 77 arcseconds when measured from either side of the sun!) (The closest star to us is Proxima Centauri, and it only moves. For example, holding your pinky finger at arm’s length is roughly a degree, but in six months, no star will even shift by an arcminute (1/60th of a degree). While it’s possible to measure degrees in the sky with just your fingers or fist, the distances stars move are too small to measure this way. The other half can’t be seen because it’s below the horizon.īecause our eyes are too close and stars are too far away, we have to use some trickery to notice a parallax.īy taking a picture of a star, waiting six months, and then taking another one on the other side of the sun, scientists can see how far a star “moved” or shifted compared to other stars in the sky. Don’t Forget: When we look up, we only see 180° of the sky. How to Calculate A Parsec Step 1: Measure the arcsecondsīelieve it or not, the stars themselves change slightly in the sky when looked at from different places (like at different times in Earth’s orbit). Arcseconds are very small, and as such, are usually only used in fields that involve very small angles, like astronomy, optometry, ophthalmology, optics, navigation, and land surveying. It’s like the astronomer’s equivalent of those plastic protractors from middle school. Remember how any circle has 360 degrees? Well, every degree is made up of 60 arcminutes, and each arcminute has 60 arcseconds. How Arcseconds Are UsedĪrcseconds will conjure up the ghosts of geometry. It’s measured by the angle (or semi-angle) of inclination between those two lines. The parallax effect is a displacement in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight. When you hold a thumb at arm’s length and close one eye, then close the other, the thumb moves against the background. How Is Parallax Used In Calculating A Parsec? That’s because because one arcsecond of parallax is one parsec. We need to know both parallax and arcsecond to properly calculate a parsec. ![]() Parallax and An Arcsecond Walk Into A Classroom… Calculating A ParsecĪnd how do scientists (or time-traveling smugglers) use parsecs?īelieve it or not, with some high school math, you can calculate a parsec. Here’s a visualization: if you were drew a straight line between an object in space and Earth, and a straight line between the same object and our Sun, if the angle between the lines is one-arcsecond, then the object is one parsec away – or 3.3 light-years. To put that into perspective, there are more than 70 star systems within 3.3 light years of planet Earth. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) passed a resolution – B2 – in 2015 that included a mention of an existing explicit definition of what a parsec is:Įxactly 648000 / π astronomical units, or approximately 3.08567758149137×10 16 metres Parsecs to Light Years Why Do We Use Parsecs?īasically, parsecs are what scientists use to find the distance of stars within 100 light years of our solar system. It takes place during a scene where Han Solo brags that the Millennium Falcon “made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.” The famous space smuggler was bragging about his ship the Millennium Falcon’s ability to endure shorter, much more risky routes through hyperspace. This article begins with an infamous line in Star Wars: A New Hope. The unit was likely named by a British astronomer, Herbert Hall Turner, who suggested the unit of astronomical measurement in 1913. The term parsec is a portmanteau – a combination of two words: Parallax and Arcsecond. To be exact, a parsec is a unit of distance that’s equal to ~19 trillion miles:ġ parsec = 3.26 light-years = 19 trillion miles Partially because of the off-the-wall time travel theories we’ve extrapolated from it, but mostly for George Lucas’ mistaking of time for distance. Han Solo’s boast will forever live in astronomical infamy. “You’ve never heard of the Millennium Falcon? It’s the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.” ― Han Solo Before you begin, make sure the system is off and unplugged from the power source. Yes, you can use rubbing alcohol to clean an NES, though you should always treat any electrical components with care. Can you use rubbing alcohol to clean NES? Once the interior of the console has been cleaned, the NES should hopefully work more efficiently. This can be done easily with a can of compressed air, which will allow you to safely blow out any dirt or dust that may have built up inside the console. Next, locate the individual channel switching and RF gain switches and adjust them according to the manufacturer’s instructions.įinally, you can try cleaning the inside of your NES console. To do this, turn off the main power switch before making any adjustments. You can also improve your NES’s performance by adjusting the console switches. ![]() If all of these measures fail, it may be time to purchase a new power cord or AV cable. If everything is plugged in correctly but the console still isn’t working, you can try cleaning the cartridge pins with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol. This includes making sure the power cord is plugged in securely, the game cartridge is firmly inserted into the console, and the AV and RF cords are connected properly. In order to make your NES work better, the first thing you should do is ensure that all connections are secure and the game is properly placed in the console. Make sure to be careful when using rubbing alcohol and do not let it get onto any other surface of the console. Finally, you can use rubbing alcohol and q-tips to clean the pins and ports. To clean the controller, use disinfecting wipes.įor the cartridge slot, use compressed air or a vacuum to remove any dust. Avoid using too much water and make sure that the rag is damp, but not too wet. You can use a mild detergent and a rag to clean the outside of your NES console. When everything is clean and dried, it’s time to plug the console back in and enjoy some classic NES gaming! What can I use to clean my NES console? Be sure to keep the vacuum away from the actual game cartridges as it can damage them. ![]() ![]() A vacuum can help remove any dirt or dust that might be wilfully lodged in there. If you want to add extra protection, lightly spray the cloth with electric contact cleaner before wiping down the connectors and ports.įinally, inspect the inside of the console and the cartridge slots. Once the connectors are dry, use a soft cloth and mild detergent/cleaning solution to dust off and clean out the ports on the back of the console. You can then use a dry cotton swab to make sure all of the alcohol is absorbed. Then, use a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol to clean the surfaces of the connector points. To clean the connectors on the game console, first use a can of compressed air to blow off any surface dirt. For stubborn dirt, you may need to use a soft brush to help remove it. Start by unplugging the console from any power source, and use a mild detergent and damp soft cloth to wipe down the exterior.ĭon’t be too vigorous with the cleaning as you don’t want to damage the controls or labels. Cleaning an old Nintendo NES console is fairly easy if you take the time and do it properly. ![]() We’ve got a load more GitHub tutorials for you to read. Has this whet your appetite for knowledge of GitHub? You’re in luck. Last one! In this case, this section was _modified_ in two different PRs, and I need to decide what the final version should be after all these changes.Īfter resolving all conflicts, you get a “Commit merge” button, which adds a new commit to the PR:Īll done, now just waiting for the automated tests to make sure I didn’t break anything □ In the GitHub web UI open your forked project then open the flows. Diff3 adds common ancestor in the view, it will be described below. Follow the instructions below to cause a merge conflict then resolve it. There's 2 options for conflictstyle - merge, which is default option, and diff3. Since I still want to remove it, I’ll resolve the conflict by just removing that whole section. Make vimdiff as default git merge tool: git config merge.tool vimdiff git config nflictstyle diff3 git config mergetool.prompt false. The next conflict is similar: I removed this whole section in this PR, but it was modified elsewhere. So, in this case, the way to resolve the conflict is to delete that entire section This is because I deleted the line *below* that one in my PR, and in another PR the line that has the conflict was also deleted. ![]() The modified merge. For our example lets simply remove all the conflict dividers. Open the merge.txt file in your favorite editor. In between the >, there is nothing: “This line was deleted in the `master` branch”. The most direct way to resolve a merge conflict is to edit the conflicted file. There are GUI tools that make this easier to understand, but basically: there are two different versions of this file, and this interface is asking me which one is correct. When you merge two branches with conflicts locally, youll get conflict markers in the file when you open your editor. We have an example of such a PR here, so I’ll walk through the steps I’m taking to resolve the conflict. (a) You can simply open the file in an editor, search for the conflict markers (see above image) and make any necessary modifications. This happens when two pull requests (PR) change the same part of a file in different ways. First off, configure git to present to you useful conflict headers. There has been some interest / questions about resolving merge conflicts on GitHub. ![]() What to do when two pull requests change the same part of a file AFAIK, currently you can use web editor or command line tool (git bash) on local machine to resolve the conflicts. If you see an error message about conflicts that require resolving, click on the Resolve Conflicts button to start using the conflict editor. ![]() The Mortal Kombat 11 developer has previously stated there would be no loot boxes, and microtransactions would instead focus on skins, intros, easy fatalities (like in Mortal Kombat X), gear (but nothing pay-to-win), all of which will be purchased through the in-game premium currency known as Time Crystals. As seen in the images below, choosing her in the character select screen will give players a message indicating just that.Īt the time of this writing, the real world cost behind Frost is unknown. While this is understandable and common in many fighting titles, those who are unwilling to wait can instead to choose to shell out real-world money to unlock her. To unlock Frost, it seems as if players will need to advance through the Mortal Kombat 11 story and clear chapter four. One major point of interest revolves around the Mortal Kombat 11 character Frost, as it seems players will have two choices for unlocking the Lin Kuei warrior. ![]() Showcasing their findings on Reddit, user Datrael revealed everything from character screens to various fatalities, though it seems these were removed quickly. It's worth mentioning that this information could contain MINOR SPOILERS, especially since Frost isn't on the official list of MK11 confirmed characters just yet, so those wanting to dive in fresh may elect to turn away now. Because of this, someone received early access to the game and has revealed some details for the highly anticipated gory fighting title. Although the official release date of Mortal Kombat 11 is still a few days off, it seems that this has been broken (presumably by a retailer who received copies ahead of launch). ![]() It was important that 20 years after they were a camper that when they came back for a reunion Blue versus Gold softball game, they knew what team they were on. Also, at our camp, I thought it was really important for kids who always come to camp one session to be on a Color War team, because if they aren’t there’s one big part of camp that they aren’t connected to. We used to do a one-day Olympics but we decided at our camp to just focus on Color War. Do you have a big camp event at the end of the 4-week session as well? There’s a legacy and a commitment, not only to the camp but also to your teammates.Ĭolor War is at the end of the 8-week session. We learned this idea from camps that are 100 years old, where the grandfather was on the same team as the grandson. ![]() Younger siblings can’t wait to get to camp because they already know what team they’re on. Anyone who’s related to you at camp is also on that team. At our camp you’re on that team for the rest of your life. At our camp, the kids all dress in their gold or their blue all together. Every kid in the camp community is singing together, cheering together. I think Color War is one of those sacred camp moments. Let’s talk about Color War at summer camp. For anyone-camper or staff-who has ever been a part of camps, it’s the part of the summer that is undoubtedly one of the most memorable.An interview with Mark Lipof, the Director of Camp Micah in Bridgton, Maine, a Maine Camp Experience Camp. Everyone has a unique role on the team that directly affects the team’s overall performance. ![]() Such a focus makes these types of camp activities a valuable lesson in diversity and teamwork. The end of the competition often involves some sort of bonding activity designed to bring the teams back together as one camp family to finish out the summer because, in the end, the emphasis of a color on color contest is not whether one is on a winning team when all is said and done, but that each and every camper has had the opportunity to demonstrate what he or she has learned over the summer and, thus, gain an understanding of how each person brings something different and valuable to the camp family. Counselors are included in the action as team leaders and coaches. The breakout is unquestionably, one of the biggest events of the summer and always on everyone’s list of favorite moments from the summer. The beginning of the games is invariably a surprise to campers and much of the staff with the reveal being is a closely guarded secret about which there is quite a bit of discussion and speculation in the days leading up to it. Whatever the name, the competition is often full of traditions regarded as sacred by campers and staff alike. Body paint, capes, mismatched socks, colored hair spray, pom-poms, and tutus are the en vogue accessories, and enthusiastic demonstrations of team pride via spirited cheers are infectious.Īlthough an emphasis on friendly competition geared toward giving campers an opportunity to put their camp skills to the test while exhibiting exemplary sportsmanship has prompted many camps to change the name to such things as Challenges, Tribals, College Days, and Olympics, the concept remains the same: Campers are placed onto teams and, for several days, engage in a host of activities designed to re-cap the summer-a sort of “best of” replay. For several days, campers and staff members parade around camp in their team colors. One of the biggest parts of the summer at most traditional summer camps and nearly as big of a tradition as the concept of summer camp is the color war. |
