Use scopes of at least 8 inches (200 mm) and focal lengths of less than a 1000 mm for faint, larger nebulae. Some are also very large–many degrees across. On the other hand, faint nebulae demand larger aperture just to capture enough light to see them. Use apertures of 5-8 inches (125 to 200 mm) with focal lengths of 1000 mm or less. (This is because they will usually have longer focal lengths, resulting in higher magnifications and smaller fields of view with typical eyepieces.) For bright nebulae, choose medium aperture scopes with relatively short focal lengths to capture the entire gas-dust cloud in the field of view. The only sacrifice going to larger scopes is the loss of a wide field of view encompassing the entire nebula. ![]() Larger scopes targeting this nebula and other objects of its class will reveal details that cannot be seen in smaller scopes. The bright, larger ones like the Great Nebula in Orion is best seen in relatively small scopes. Thanks to Michael Clark for reminding me that with an even number of blades, the number of rays will be the same as the number of blades, instead of twice that, since the diffraction spikes from opposite blades end up on top of each other).Nebulae: Clouds of gas and dust vary enormously in size and brightness. (Most of the faster Nikon 50mm lenses need to be stopped down for AP - so while the faster versions can be handy for terrestrial photography, there's little point in paying the substantial extra cost if you only want one for AP).Īlso, note that best infinity focus may not be exactly at the end stop, and that when stopped down, diffraction spikes from the aperture blades may give you a bit of a starburst filter effect around bright stars (there will be twice as many rays as the number of aperture blades (for odd numbers of blades) - each blade causes a diffraction spike either side of the star. Some lenses work well wide open for astrophotography (Like the Nikon 180/2.8 ED), others may need to be stopped down several stops for acceptable quality. ![]() (Different folk use different numbers to 400 - it depends how picky you are, and whether you're using a crop or full frame sensor, but 400 should be in the right ballpark (it also depends on where in the sky you're aiming)). So at 25mm, you should be able to go to around 400/25 = 16 seconds. To avoid star trailing due to the earths rotation, aim for an exposure of around 400 / focal length or less. ![]() (Note that the effective light collecting area is NOT the same as the size of the front element - at 16mm f4, the effective light collecting area is only a 4mm diameter circle, while your 85mm at f4 has an effective light gathering area of a 21.25mm diameter circle - so it catches about 25x as much light. For point sources, like stars, the light collecting area (effectively the focal length divided by f-ratio, squared) determines how bright the stars are, since you always end up with a point image regardless of the focal length. What was actually at work here to limit the capture of the stars, from existing in the image to not existing at all?įor extended objects like the northern lights, the f-ratio determines the brightness, as for normal photography.

![]() Awareness, strategy and dedication is needed if you want to become great at the game. Each hero has unique abilities that change the game drastically as they become active. Spells such as healing, mind control or stuns can be devastating in the hands of a skilled player. Spells can be used to change the flow of the game in your favour. Balance Changes Perk 1: Sticky Fingers cooldown: 25 > 15 sec Perk 2: On lvl up, all cards in in hand > all cards in deck costs 1 less mana to. A few examples of this are: AOE damage, healing, teleporting, mana regen, flying and many more. Minions have minds of their own and once you have summoned them, they can no longer be controlled, so place them wisely! You place minions on your side of the arena and the goal is to have them destroy the enemy’s tower.

A card can costs between 0-10 mana and your mana regenerates over time during the match. Each player has a pool of mana and a deck of 10 cards (minions/spells/buildings). Different tournaments happen every month, some for cash prizes, others for in-game currency or just bragging rights! Several community-driven tournaments have emerged around the game. Want to fight on a lava world? Maybe in a sunken temple? Or a graveyard? There are many more options and the choice is yours. You can even change your side of the playing area to a look that suits you, by swapping your arena with a new one.

It's hit and miss but like you I find it fun to play thematic decks.Engage in epic 1vs1 or 2vs2 battles, in this fast-paced strategic minion brawler that's easy to pick-up but hard to master. Healing Fireball is nice to drop on a pair of Crystal Constructs since they have so much HP. Chain Lightning is just good in a lot of decks. I use Lone Scout and Illusory Cleaver for cheap minions to snag bridges and Cleaver likes to attract removal from my opponent. It's a little different to play because to take full advantage of all the ranged Crystal minions you need to stay at 6+ mana for the attack speed bonus. I play this deck using Mordar as my master because what I try and do is to get 1st perk as fast as possible then get the Crystal Constructs rezzing from the tombstones. ![]() ![]() If it’s not already the case, OPT+RETURN will become your best friend once you realize its power. For these, assistance is provided in a few different ways: Intention Actions (aka Mindreading Actions) We try to keep things DRY, but at the end of the day, repeating code is unavoidable in a lot of situations. Unfortunately, we spend a lot of time writing the same type of code over and over again. Switch to recently used files: CRT+TAB Code Generation Navigate forward to previous position: CMD+] View implementation (if interface or abstract): OPT+CMD+B If we can make navigating in and out of different areas of the code base frictionless, then we can maintain context and speed. With the cursor in the scope of the change we want to make you can perform the following with a single keystroke:Ī large amount of our time is spent trying to understand the existing code base before making a change. Our next goal is to identify some existing code where we want to perform simple refactorings, and do it quickly and accurately without skipping a beat. This shortcut makes it easier and faster. Trying to find the right parenthesis to select when many things are nested is difficult. A large portion of the time when you are selecting text, you are trying to select it as a valid unit. Select next occurrence(s): CTR+G Scope based selectionĪnother important way to avoid having to touch the mouse and speed up your workflow is improving text selection. This first group of shortcuts is based on simple operations that you probably do a lot, but if you do it with the mouse, you’re spending 10x longer getting there. The first step to achieving speed is to stop touching the mouse. Our goals here are to increase speed and accuracy. I also recommend disabling the Mac shortcut keys that override the F* keys, making many of the following shortcuts easier to work with. Note: all the shortcuts I discuss here are the default Android Studio shortcuts for Mac OS X. Like the term or not, this helps us get closer to the fabled “10x” level of productivity. Let’s explore an opportunity for making big leaps in both of these areas by embracing better tools and mastering them, inside and out. (I’m looking at you XCode users.) There are so many shortcuts and tools that I’m not going to attempt to cover them all here, but I will highlight some I use most often and provide me the most value in my daily work.Īs developers, we live in a fast-paced environment and must always look for ways to build software better and faster than we did yesterday. ![]() It’s easy to dismiss the power contained within them if you haven’t fully experienced it. Jetbrains’ IDEs (including Resharper) are arguably the best around. With friction, you see something you want to refactor and think to yourself, “This will interrupt my flow I’ll coming back to it later.” And how many times do you actually go back to it later? So let’s lower the friction and enable opportunistic refactoring of our codebase. Without friction, you will start to notice these things happen automatically and continuously. When you can do this effectively, refactoring, renaming and improving the code has close to zero friction. Here I’m going to talk specifically about how to harness the power of Android Studio’s keyboard shortcuts, refactoring options and live templates to allow you to navigate and refactor the code as fast as you can think about it. ![]() Take it form me, when I was a child I had very long fingernails and hated the feeling of short nails. Get those nails nice and short and keep them there. It would completely different and I would be a different person. I couldn’t imagine what my life would be like if I had not started playing guitar. You will miss out on a entire lifetime of fun playing music. Imagine you start playing guitar and it sounds horrible, hurts, or any of the above causes of long nails and you lose all motivation and quit. Though damaged nails or losing a nail sounds extreme, this might even be worse. If your nails touch the surface then they are too long. Push your fingertips against a flat surface. In this case you will need to file them back a little further each week so you nails can adapt to being much shorter. Some people do have nails that seem to go up to the ends of their fingers and claim they can’t cut them back any further. This might feel weird if you aren’t used to it, but you will adapt in a short period of time. Cut them short enough so when you look at the nail you can see your fingertip sticking out overtop. But you don’t want to risk damag-ing the root or sinus of the nail. Gross!īest case is your fingernails get a little damaged near the tips. Jamming them into the front of your shoe it will damage the root of the nail and you will lose the toenail. It is the same as if your toe nails are too long. If you are pressing your fingernail into wood and metal day after day it will cause problems. Though I haven’t seen this happening due to fingernails, I have seen injury due to tension. ![]() If this is not resolved it can cause injury overtime. Pressing harder adds unnecessary tension in the fretting hand. If what you are playing isn’t sounding correct then you might be very tempted to press harder. This isn’t something I’ve be able to measure since I usually instruct people to cut their nails asap. ![]() If your nails are very long, the angle will cause the nail to touch other strings and buzz against your nail. Your angled finger will touch other strings causing them to mute or partially mute. If you play most any chord like this it will sound awful. This results in play-ing more with the fingerprint instead of the fingertip. When people play guitar with long fingernails they tend to angle their fingers. You must hold it against the fret so that there is no buzz. The buzz in this case is the string vibrating against the fret. When the string isn’t pressed down so it is resting on the fret-wire then it will buzz. Having long fingernails adds to the prob-lem. This will cause a few issues.įret buzz is a big problem with beginners and it isn’t fun. If you fingernails are long then they will prevent your finger from pressing the string all the way down. When you press your finger down onto the string your finger will point at the fretboard. What you must cut are your fret-ting hand fingernails. But from my experience most people need some more convincing and this is what we will get into today.įirst off the picking hand fingernails is a whole different topic. This is quite simple, cut your fretting hand fingernails very short and that is all you need to know. Some might even go on for quite a while not realizing that their long fingernails are drastically inhibiting their progress. Most beginner guitar players have no idea why you need to cut your fingernails to play guitar.

How to remove LastPass from Macīefore you uninstall LastPass, make sure you have a note of all the passwords and other details stored in it. You can use passphrases instead of just passwords to make your accounts more secure.

Lee Sobel: In the 80's you began to appear in x-rated movies. They said that something like 50-52 million homes tuned in at some point of that marathon. They showed it and it did okay but then the next year it did even better. They didn't spend that much to buy A CHRISTMAS STORY so they didn't have to do that well with it for it to be profitable for them. The first year the ratings did okay but the second year the rating dipped. So she brought in her VHS copy of it to show it to him for the first time and he said, "Oh, what a lovely film." He asked his secretary, what should we do with it and she said, "Why don't we try a marathon." They had tried it with IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE and THE WIZARD OF OZ for two years. Scott Schwartz: The story I heard from someone who worked for Ted Turner was that he was buying the MGM library and he needed a family movie to run around Christmas and his secretary asked him if he'd seen A CHRISTMAS STORY and he had never seen it. Lee Sobel: Ted Turner certainly had something to do with continuing to build the popularity of A CHRISTMAS STORY by having 24-hour marathons on Christmas of the movie, right? I've done appearances and people have actually brought flag poles and they want to me to take pictures with it. Zack and I have done a lot of appearances together. Yano lives in Atlanta so I don't get to see him that much but Zack lives about twenty minutes away from me. The two bullies, Scut Farkus and Grover Dill, otherwise known as Zack Ward and Yano Anaya, are like my brothers now. That was how we communicated.īob Clark wanted the two boys who played the bullies separate from us because he wanted us to be scared of them. So I made up the stuff that I did and after the first take he told me to do it again and give him more but then he said it was too much and he liked the way I originally did it. So I asked Bob what he wanted me to do and he said to just do whatever I wanted. When we did the scene where I stuck my tongue to the flagpole that's all it said in the script: Flick sticks his tongue to the flagpole. Bob Clark trusted me, even though I had only made one movie up to that point. I had one scene with Melinda Dillon when Ralphie beats up Scut Farkus the bully. I didn't have any scenes with Darren McGavin. I saw THE TOY." I walked about seven or eight blocks to my agent's office and my agent said, "What did you do? You got the job." Bob was looking for particular things - he wanted normalcy in the children. I asked him if he wanted me to read and he said, "No, no, there's no dialogue you can't handle.

Tokuno - Group of islands based on Feudal Japan.Malas was praised for its variety of creatures and geographic features. Malas is a series of islands floating in a starry void and is distinguished by a darker artistic style. It featured Dungeon Doom, the largest dungeon at the time of its release, and two cities: Luna (the "City of Paladins") and Umbra (the "City of Necromancers"). Malas - Included a Player versus Player arena and space for 1500 new player homes.Ilshenar - Added dungeons and monsters and evolved to include new land, as well as more than 30 new creatures (designed by Todd McFarlane).Trammel - Supported a rule set that does not allow non-consensual PVP and includes additional open land for player housing.It has a harsher rule set where player killing is more common. Felucca - The original world, which evolved to include dead trees and tombstones to distinguish.Siege servers support one character slot on an account, limits to ways of traveling and have other rules which generally make them more challenging than other servers. The two kinds of servers were "normal" servers with both Trammel (consensual PVP) and Felucca (non-consensual PVP) ruleset and "siege" servers with non-consensual PVP and no item insurance. The release of trammel led the developers to distinguish the original world by making the environment more grim, and naming it "Felucca". The third was Trammel, which was a mirror of the original Ultima Online map. The second world was the "Lost Lands", often referred to by players as T2A due to the expansion's name, "The Second Age", with additional land, dungeons, creatures, and terrain. Ultima Online began with a single world, with specific expansion packs adding additional territory and new worlds. Partially designed as a social and economic experiment, the game had to account for widespread player interaction as well as deal with the tradition of players feeling as if they were the center of attention, as had been the case in single-player games. ![]() Ultima Online continued the tradition of previous Ultima games in many ways, but due to advancing technology and the simple fact that it was Origin's first persistent online game, many new game mechanics appeared. The release of Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn in 2007 brought a new game engine with upgraded visuals. Since its release, it has added eight expansion packs, a booster pack and dozens of free content updates. Set in the Ultima universe, it is known for its extensive player versus player combat system.
