I received all sort of gifts that I kept hidden inside a box. ![]() ![]() I think my mind travelled to all unknown places he told me about – places I thing I never would be. Fridays would be curious and I would be so excited to talk to him, wondering what new stories would come up. I wondered if she knew that I was keeping them. His gifts, I kept them in a corner of our hut, away from my grandmother’s eyes. ![]() Once in a while he would look at me and explain things looking at my eyes, which would grow by surprise. Some days he told me stories of his land and the others of the endless sea, the storms he had seen and the ships that had been travelling too fast. Some months went by and I visited him every Friday. As I turned to leave, he pulled my cheeks, adorably. It must have been an hour,I sat there, listening to him, all he said. I wanted to tell him, I too wanted to come with him because at least food wouldn’t be scarce then, would it? But I was too shy to say a word. I could feel my eyebrows rising and falling with everything he mentioned. So I listened as he spoke about the wonders he had seen, the taste of food he had gotten and so on. No body spoke to me like that apart from my grandmother. We sat there in silence for some time and he asked for my name and how far I lived. He came out of the ship and sat by the shore. He handed me over one more of it and said he got his during his voyage. I sat by his side and inquired where he got this thing. “It’s called a chocolate, Hanna De,” he smiled up at me. What was it? The food that you gave me.” – I said with curiosity brimming up in my voice – almost in a murmur. This time I was alone when I saw him walking towards me, and I smiled. I almost forgot about the gift when I met him the next Friday. But well, she would not budge, would she? I wanted to tell her, he looked kind to me. When I told him that a stranger gave me this, she almost sweated over it, reminding me repeatedly not to consume anything given by a stranger. I shared it with my grandmother and she wondered from where I got it. “ Don’t sell it, eat it.” I wondered if he was a mind reader. I hesitantly looked at it, took it suspiciously and as I was leaving it, he buzzed, A golden colored wrapper with something solid inside. He asked me to come closer and handed me something. “ Hmm, I am a new sailor in this ship“, he said, perhaps what I might have mistaken with a smile. How did I not know him? Even last Friday I had come to the same ship. Then it striked me, I had been coming to this place since youth, and I know almost all the shipman, sailors and moorers. “ I collect things from the ships, ask the moorer. I would never be able to move past him, so was his size. ![]() I was ready to leave when he asked me to stop and stood in front of me with folded hands. “What’s up there, littlie?” – Said a man with broad shoulders, a moustache and a small cut in the middle of the eyebrow. As I went close to the ship and began to look underneath the panel, I heard a voice calling me. I went into the ship in search of any exquisite things that might turn my luck for that day since my grandmother was running fever. My curiosity should have killed me someday. I belonged to the group of sellers who collected stuffs in the morning to sell them throughout the afternoon, only to retire late at night. That had always been our means of living, since the time my parents died of the sea-sickness that the vast waterbody bought.Įvery evening on Fridays we looked in the docked ships, sometimes leaving a trail of sand beneath them, for something akin to lost jewels. What did we not collect? From the tainted glass, the colored mirrors which had little beads of reflecting stone on it, the sleek bow stitched with golden reels, to shells of oyesters – we collected all things fancy and nice. We lived by collecting the left out items from the sea, and selling them to the local market. In the distant, the ships were docked whose siren used to wake me up from my sleep. The hut was surrounded by oak and mixed sclerophyll forests. Near the mediterranian sea where the sand dunes mixed with the oceans in the horizon, I and my grandmother lived in a small hut.

MacOS doesn’t come with a camera settings app. That’s why you should always check for compatibility with Mac computers before you purchase any third-party accessory for your Mac. The sad fact is that some third-party cameras won’t work with Skype no matter what you do. ![]() Third-party cameras are a different story, though. ![]() Skype reinstall and the fix above should solve most issues with the iSight camera. Restart your Mac computer and test Skype again. If the problem still persists, apply the fix described in the previous chapter. If you do and Skype still doesn’t work, reinstall the app. Make sure that you have the latest version. If your Mac camera isn’t working when making Skype calls, the chances are that Skype is to blame. Open any app that uses the camera, such as Photo Booth, to confirm that the fix worked.If an error occurs, you will see an error message in the terminal window. If everything goes right, you won’t see any confirmation message. You may be prompted for your admin password. Click inside the terminal window and type “ sudo killall VDCAssistant” without the quotation marks.Open Terminal from Applications > Utilities.However, the automatic activation process sometimes fails, leaving you without any obvious option how to turn on the camera manually. How to Turn on Camera on Mac for FacetimeĪs you now know, Mac cameras activate automatically. As soon as Photo Booth starts, the LED next to the built-in iSight camera should turn on, informing you that the camera is activated. Open Finder on your Mac, click on the Applications folder, and select Photo Booth. The camera is activated by apps, such as the Photo Booth app. If you’ve been searching how to enable camera on Mac but haven’t been able to find anything useful, that’s because the built-in iSight camera doesn’t have an on and off switch - neither physical nor software. If it isn’t, you may need to download additional drivers from the website of the camera’s manufacturer. Once connected, the camera should be immediately detected and ready for use. Instead, examine both the cable and the port and carefully try again. If it doesn’t insert easily, don’t force it in - you could damage it. Keep in mind that USB Type-A ports are not reversible, unlike USB Type-C ports, so the cable will only go in one way. ![]() When connecting a camera to a Mac computer, you can simply connect the camera’s USB cable to any matching USB port on the Mac. If you can’t be without your trusted Mac computer even for a few days and have someone replace the broken camera for you, an external webcam is a good way how to circumvent the problem. Although you can order replacement Mac cameras from sites like eBay, we highly discourage you from attempting to perform a DIY repair unless you are certain that you know what you’re doing. If your camera is physically damaged, it needs to be replaced. Among them are mechanical and hardware problems, which are impossible to fix with software tweaks. There are many potential reasons why your Mac camera isn’t working. Don’t be afraid to follow our advice even if you’ve never fixed a computer camera problem before if you don’t deviate from our instructions, you have nothing to mess up.Īt the end of this guide is a list of five best external Mac webcams which are guaranteed to work flawlessly with your Mac computer as soon as you plug them in. ![]() This troubleshooting guide was created to help you get your Mac camera working correctly. Of course, the presence of the word most means that even the Mac users who stick to Apple-approved hardware can experience problems with cameras not working as they should. Mac users have it a lot better than Windows and Linux users because most Mac-compatible cameras tend to work right out of the box without any configuration. Ask any computer store what’s the most common issue customers experience, and they’ll likely tell you that it has something to do with cameras not working as they should. Cameras and computers seem not to like each other. ![]() She is not on any social media platforms because she is too young to have her own account.Briar is considered a Canadian-American due to her birth in Los Angeles, California.Rachel, her mother, is also an actress who has appeared in popular television series and films such as Jumper, Take Two, and Hart of Dixie.She is the only child of her parents and thus has no siblings.Hayden Christensen, her father, is a Canadian actor who has appeared in a number of popular films and television series, including Jumper, Star Wars, and Little Italy. ![]()
![]() Houston could end up sixth and San Antonio could fall as far as No. The Pistons, with the worst record, can have no worse than the No. The current system also does not guarantee the worst teams get one of the top four picks. But the team with the worst record got the top pick only once and that led the league to implementing a weighted system. In the first years of the lottery from 1985-89, every team had the same odds. Now the teams with the three worst records all have a 14% chance. The worst team did have the best odds until a few years ago with a 25% chance of winning the No. The short answer is to avoid any incentive for a team to finish last. Neither he nor any of the representatives on stage will know the results until then. EST on ESPN and during the televised portion, Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum opens envelopes that reveal the draft order. ![]() He is considered the best prospect in years - perhaps since LeBron James went No. 1 pick and the chance to draft Victor Wembanyama. The league will hold this year’s lottery Tuesday night in Chicago, with the winner getting the No. The Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets and Spurs all have a 14% chance of getting him, but there will be 14 teams at the McCormick Place Convention Center that have hopes. There are twice as many lottery teams now, all hoping, like the Knicks did when they drafted Patrick Ewing, to have luck strike at the right time and land the player who can turn around a franchise. The lottery format has undergone a few changes since the New York Knicks won the first one in 1985, when there were seven teams. The stakes this year are unusually high with French phenom Victor Wembanyama the top prospect.

And then you'd have something you couldn't just as easily have on the four-door model-some distinction other than the hatchback.The Benz for the rest of us. ![]() Personally, we'd trade the leather seats that our tester had for the nearly $500 cheaper Panorama sunroof. Stupidly, an in-dash CD player is not available. On the upside, all three-doors come standard with automatic climate control and a stability-control system. With an as-tested sticker price of $27,860 with only two options-17-inch wheels for $750 and leather seats at $1440-this runabout hatchback is priced like a premium car, a couple grand more than a well-equipped Acura RSX Type-S. But the three-door-well, the three-door has no competitors in the premium-hatchback segment That vehicle should be competitive with the Acura TSX, Saab 9-3, and Audi A4. Mercedes does offer this new 1.8-liter in a version of the C-class sedan, meaning, you know, with a trunk. Maybe if the company had called it a C230 hatchback, we wouldn't keep expecting it to drive like a "sports coupe." Its shifter hasn't improved it's still plasticky and slow to engage anew gear. This is, indeed, a good thing if you're in the market for a comforting companion on long commutes. So zealous was Mercedes in exorcizing the flatulence of the old motor that this new one makes almost no noise at all. The 1.8-liter, which will be the base engine of an all-new SLK beginning next summer, is smooth and linear in operation, with no apparent hills or valleys in the surprisingly robust torque curve. Worse, it sounded as if it had an acute and chronic case of gastrointestinal distress. Higher in the rev range, the 2.3 was rough. The previous engine felt weak at low revs, despite its power advantage and greater displacement. On the other hand, the new motor allows the hatch to go another four or five miles on each gallon of gas, depending on whether you get the six-speed manual or the $1325 optional five-speed automatic.Įven better, with this engine the C230 is, if not exactly transformed, at least a more pleasant thing to use. This is not something most owners-the majority of whom we don't anticipate will go bracket drag racing-need worry about. Try as you might, the engine will not rev above 4000 rpm with the clutch pedal in. We attribute this, in part, to an engine-management system that will not allow for abusive standing starts. Indeed, the sprint to 60 mph for the 1.8-liter 2003 model is an unremarkable 8.1 seconds-more than a half-second slower than the 2002 model. The new 1.8-liter engine makes 189 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 192 pound-feet at 3500 rpm. The old 2.3-liter-still the base engine in the SLK hardtop roadster for 2003-makes 192 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 200 pound-feet of torque at 2500 rpm. It's down about a half-liter of displacement compared with the old engine, and it makes less peak horsepower and torque. On paper, this engine would seem to be a step backward for Mercedes. For the 2003 model of the C230, Mercedes has largely addressed our engine complaint with an all-new 1.8-liter, all-aluminum supercharged four-cylinder. ![]() ago Cant distribute roms, against the rules. Try grabbing your base rom, apply this patch to it first and then see if it works. Further in the future I plan to develop my own strategy games. Problem is likely that your rom is bad - the flower intro ROM is notorious for breaking whenever someone applies a hack to it. The aim here is to use this as learning project that I will work on slowly over a long period in my spare time (and by using existing gfx/sounds I can focus on the coding).

Kevin Wierman got the search function working. He’s a map, sci-fi, and beer nerd living in Philadelphia. Henry Bernberg designed and built the map and manages all the datasets involved. If you like the map or use it as a resource, please consider donating so that I can continue to update the map and maintain the website. ![]() If you see something that’s misspelled, has broken link, or is in the wrong place, let me know using the “Report a Problem” form on the contact page and I’ll do what I can to address it in a future release. Additionally, not all the data was perfectly consistent between maps. The Star Wars galaxy map contains a lot of information and as much of the process of making it was as automated as possible. I know it’s not as good for browsing, but my next goal is to have a single combined map that works for everything. Search: Click on the “Search the Galaxy” link for a searchable version. You can view any combination of the Planets, Hyperspace, Sectors, and Region layers by clicking the “Visible Layers” dialogue and toggling the layers you want to see. Layers: You can turn layers on and off to filter the information you want to see. Hover: Hovering over an object will give you basic information about it.Ĭlick: Clicking on an object will give you more in depth information including a link to the Wookieepedia article. In future releases zooming in and out will display more or fewer details to make the map easier to use. ![]() Zooming: You can zoom in or out either by using the zoom arrows inset into the map or by scrolling like you would in Google Maps. For the ease of working with software scaled for terrestrial mapping, everything is scaled so that 1 parsec displays as 1 kilometer. ![]() I decided to use a cartesian grid for the simplicity and accuracy of how the data is displayed. While the isometric projection is more visually interesting, it’s less accurate spatially and makes it more difficult to bring together data from other sources. Other versions of the map are either in a cartesian grid projection or an isometric projection. This is to make the map easier to read when zoomed out. Planets and hyperspace routes that appear on the galaxy-wide map are given highest priority, with regional and sector maps given lower priority and smaller locations like the Hapes Cluster given the lowest priority. Objects are represented based on how they appear in the Essential Atlas maps. Each object has a set of attributes including its name, location, and other information that make it possible to search the data. Elements of the map are represented differently planets are represents as points, hyperspace lanes as polylines, and regions and sectors as polygons. I georeferenced scans of the maps using the standard grid system and began tracing elements from the individual maps. I started making the map by using the Star Wars: The Essential Atlas as a reference and working in ArcGIS using AutoCAD and Adobe Illustrator for supplemental work. I decided to use my experience with geographic information systems (GIS) to make an interactive version of the map where users could easily search for planets and objects would link to Wookieepedia or other resources. Even the vector PDF formats can be tricky to search and don’t include other information about the objects. These are great resources and are extremely detailed but due to formatting can be clumsy to deal with. van Hage’s map lead me to Modi’s map and the official Star Wars: The Essential Atlas. I decided to make this map after finding some of the existing galaxy maps. When maps of the sectors of the Deep Core, Core, and Colonies are published, those will be included. It’s meant as a way to explore the galaxy, find points of interest, and discover more information about the movies and expanded universe.Ī note on sectors: The sectors currently included come from the Star Wars: The Essential Atlas Online Companion. ![]() It contains all the planets, hyperspace lanes, sectors, and regions of the Galaxy Far, Far Away. This is a comprehensive map of the Star Wars galaxy based on the available published information. ![]() ![]() The boundaries of time zones pass along the borders of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. There is only one region in the 1st time zone - the Kaliningrad region. ![]() 12:00 Moscow times equals to 11:00 in this time zone. There is 1st time zone in Russia which is 1hour behind Moscow time. The Kamchatka Territory and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug are situated there. The maximum time difference with the capital is in the 11 time zone. That is, when it is 15:00 in Moscow, then in Astrakhan, Samara or Orenburg it is already 16:00. Starting from the third time zone, the time difference according to Moscow time starts from +1. To avoid time confusion, the work of river, aviation, sea and rail transport is carried out according to Moscow time. The difference is calculated by the number of full hours - seconds and minutes are the same throughout all the time zones. Moscow time is a starting point in determining local time anywhere in the country. The capital city of Russia, Moscow is in the second time zone and, for example, the Khabarovsk Territory is in the ninth time zone. Currently there are eleven time zones in Russia. The situation has not changed since that time. In almost every case, the boundaries were drawn along the meridians. The country was divided into 11 time zones. So, during this period, a decree ordered to approved the division of the country into time zones in order to facilitate the fixation of events and relationships between people. The Russian Revolution of 1917 brought many changes some of which were of time change matter. ![]() For email clients steps to paste the signature while respecting format, colors and images visit: (especially for Apple Mail and Outlook 2016).

In mid-2015 the mine’s ramp-up process will be completed and full phase 1 production should be reached. Two of them – TELE-FONIKA Kable and Sempertrans – come from Poland. Its construction demanded the engagement of over 53,000 people, 18.5 million working hours and over 600 contractors. “Sierra Gorda is an innovative and pioneering mining project. It makes use of the state-of-the-art technologies that allow for the full efficiency of operations. Sierra Gorda is one of the largest mining projects in the Antofagasta region. It proves we have layers of possibilities available due to co-operation and courage,” stressed Herbert Wirth, President and CEO of KGHM. The Sierra Gorda mine is a fine example of a strategic foreign expansion. We wish to continue to share knowledge with Polish businesses and research institutes. I am satisfied that the Chilean market is becoming increasingly attractive to them. ![]() „KGHM supports Polish companies planning international expansion by sharing contacts and best practices. An important factor in this foreign expansion is co-operation: by promoting one another and sharing their knowledge, Polish companies are able to develop more effectively. Polish companies are becoming increasingly successful in the competition with foreign corporations as far as innovations and quality of products is concerned. KGHM and its successful investment in the Sierra Gorda mine may serve as a good example as it strengthens the brand of Poland in Chile,” said Aleksandra Piątkowska, Ambassador of Poland to Chile. Innovative companies from Poland have the chance to permanently succeed in the Chilean market. With constantly growing competition from such countries as the Netherlands and England, the transfer of know-how is becoming the key to success. “Chile is a reliable and democratic country, which is attracting foreign investments due to a favorable business climate. Although resources attract the majority of funds, the Chilean market is also open to other businesses. Global copper producers understand that trend and are investing in this country. With annual revenues from metals mining at USD 50 billion, Chile is one of the world’s leaders in this industry, which is growing three times faster than the rest of the Chilean economy. |
