Are we the last ones to know about this thing? Save yourself the yearly headache. So now our tree is all lit, and Greta is happy. Those are the ones which have been burnt out from the start, but at least one of whose shunts had not melted through. Then, you scan for the bulb (or two) which is/are still burnt out, and replace just those. It provides a low-current, high-voltage difference across the bulbs, which is sufficient to melt the shunts in any burnt-out bulb while not affecting functioning bulbs. That’s when not just one lgith goes out (which you might often not even notice), but the entire section of lights turns off. However, every once in a while the shunt doesn’t melt through given the “normal” voltage difference across the bulb, and so the circuit (for the 50 lights in that set or portion of the set) is lost. Every bulb in the light set you own has a “shunt” which is supposed to “melt through” when the filament burns out. This DOES work, though, and it’s because Christmas light bulbs have long been designed to work this way. Surely, you can’t fix a lightbulb by passing more electricity through it, no matter the “shape” of the pulse! Okay, admit it: you read the package, mix in even a basic understanding of electricity, and wonder why anyone would fall for such an outlandish claim. This review of it on Amazon explained it pretty well: It’s crazy and weird and it works and I tried to pretend I didn’t care how, but I just had to know. All you do is use the built in scanner to determine which light is not getting power, remove the light, insert the plastic housing into the tool, click the trigger (we had to click it a few times) and all the lights turned on. My parents came over for dinner and noticed (even with our attempt to hang an extra string of larger lights in the dark places–haha!) and my dad let us borrow this tool that fixes mini lights instantly. Like, the whole top of our dang tree this year. But, this post is about how every year our pre-lit tree sends us into a fury of frustration because we have dark spots where lights aren’t working when we plug it. I think most people did, right? It’s not really even “blog worthy.” We used silver and gold bulbs we had sprinkled with sentimental ornaments we’ve collected over the years. That means pulling off each bulb, replacing it with a good bulb, and plugging it in. However, if the entire string of lights is out, you will need to check every lightbulb. This is an easy way to find what you're looking for and know exactly what is in each box for easy access.We put up our Christmas tree over the weekend, which isn’t really news. Sometimes only a section of the lights will go out, making your job pretty easy.

President Biden launched the Digital Transformation with Africa (DTA), a new initiative to expand digital access and literacy across the continent.Yesterday, MCC announced that The Gambia and Togo are eligible to develop their first compacts, Senegal is eligible to develop a concurrent regional compact, and Mauritania is eligible for a threshold program. The agency is currently working in 14 African countries with more than $3 billion in active compact and threshold programs and approximately $2.5 billion in the pipeline. These agreements include over $150 million to support climate adaptation. Since the start of this Administration, MCC also signed agreements with the Governments of The Gambia, Lesotho and Malawi for an additional $675 million. The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and the Governments of Benin and Niger are signing the first regional compacts totaling $504 million, with additional contributions of $15 million from Benin and Niger, to support regional economic integration, trade, and cross-border collaboration.Once fully implemented, the Agreement Establishing the AfCFTA will create a combined continent-wide market of 1.3 billion people and $3.4 trillion, which would be the fifth-largest economy in the world.

However, it patches just fine if I create a new folder on my desktop and ends up creating a 1.64GB ISO. If I attempt to use the same patcher from the download, but attempt to patch with the files on the drive in a long directory, it produces the ~670MB ISO. This might be a problem where the directories get too long for the patcher to handle. Try moving all the patch files to a lower directory and renaming your ISO something short. I believe I have found a solution to that particular problem. One of the common problems that most people seem to be getting is that when the patcher completes, the resulting file is much smaller than the original ISO. VC3E2.iso in this case will be the PATCHED version, and will be your original as a backup. So for example, if you drag and drop a file named VC3E2.iso into the file, after the patching process, you should have two isos: VC3E2.iso and. The patched ISO has an identical name to your original and should be in the same place where you originally had your copy. bak file that generates is NOT the patched ISO. For reference, our programmer is using a phat PSP (PSP-1000) with 5.50 prome-2 CFW.Ī: The. We don’t have the time to test and release a patch that’s compatible with every CFW, so please use a different one. Q: Why is it not running/why am I getting a black screen on “insert CFW here.”Ī: We don’t know. I guess the original version works somewhat with the patch, but some things do get messed up. This patch only works with Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition, AKA VC3:E2. Q: Why are the voices swapped (why does Kurt have Riela’s voice and other things)?Ī: You patched the wrong version of the game. There have been various comments saying that it does, so try upgrading to that. Q: How do you get this game running on PS Vita?Ī: A newer version of CFW (TN-V7) has just been released for the PS Vita that claims to support our patch. Because of that, any kind of patch based on binary difference will be very huge (hundreds of megs).Īnd I’m not very skilled in coding to write my own packer/encrypter. Thus, our patched game is actually unencrypted and packed with old criware. There is no encrypter available on the net and no newer version of criware tools either. Q: Why does the patch use such an awkward patching method and not something like Xdelta?Ī: The original game is encrypted and packed with a more recent version of criware tools. Some answers to some more frequently asked questions about the patch, some from our programmer. Sure enough, 19 years from now – in the year 2040 – the full moons will fall on June 24, July 24, August 22, and September 20. That’s because 235 lunar months (235 returns to full moon) almost exactly equal 19 calendar years. How often do seasonal Blue Moons occur?Īs it happens, the phases of the moon recur on or near the same calendar dates every 19 years. Therefore, this August Blue Moon acts as a harbinger of springtime, exhibiting longer-than-average lag times between moonrises. Meanwhile, in the Southern Hemisphere, the September equinox is the spring equinox. Like September’s Harvest Moon, it’ll showcase a few to several nights of dusk-until-dawn moonlight. A month from now, at mid-northern latitudes, the moon will rise about 25 minutes (instead of 50 minutes) later daily, providing several nights of dusk-until-dawn moonlight.Īt mid-northern latitudes, this August Blue Moon will show this same characteristic (a moonrise about 25 minutes later on successive evenings, instead of closer to 50 minutes later), although to a lesser degree. The lag time between successive moonrises is reduced to a yearly low when the full Harvest Moon arrives. On the average, the moon rises some 50 minutes later each day thereafter. The true Harvest Moon will come on September 20, 2021.Īny full moon rises around sunset. By definition, the Harvest Moon is the closest full moon to the autumn equinox. So, in the Northern Hemisphere, this late summer Blue Moon shares characteristics with the upcoming Harvest Moon in September. It happens considerably closer to the equinox than the solstice. September solstice: SeptemThe Harvest Moon’s cousinįor those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, this August Blue Moon is a harbinger of the upcoming autumn season. Go figure.įull moons between June 2021 solstice and September 2021 equinox:Īugust full moon (a Blue Moon): August 22, 2021 Weirdly, it’s not the fourth of these four full moons that’ll be called a Blue Moon. And thus there’s enough time to squeeze four full moons into the current season, which will end at the September equinox on September 22, 2021. The upcoming seasonal Blue Moon of August 22, 2021, happens because June’s full moon falls just a few days after the June solstice, early in the season of northern summer (southern winter). Each season typically lasts three months and typically has three full moons. We’re talking about winter, spring, summer, fall. What is a seasonal Blue Moon?īy season, we’re referring to the period of time between a solstice and an equinox. JV Noriega created this photo of a blue-colored moon among fast-moving clouds, using special blue filters. To read more about truly blue-colored moons, click here. When these particles are present in our air, and the moon shines through them, the moon may appear blue in color. Particles of this size are very efficient at scattering red light. You might find particles of this size in the air above you when, for example, a wildfire is raging nearby. The particles must be slightly wider than 900 nanometers. Blue-colored moons are rare – aren’t necessarily full – and happen when Earth’s atmosphere contains dust or smoke particles of a certain size. Sure, they are, and someday you might see a true blue-colored moon in the sky. And it’s of the “folk.” So it sometimes gets messy.īlue- colored moons in photos – like the ones on this page – are usually made using special blue camera filters or in a post-processing program such as PhotoShop. The second of two full moons in a calendar month? Or third of four full moons in a single season? How can both of them be Blue Moons? The answer stems from the nature of skylore, and folklore in general. And, by lucky coincidence, the moon will be near planets again, this time Jupiter and Saturn. The upcoming Blue Moon will crest on August 21-22, 2021. It’s a seasonal Blue Moon, the third of four full moons in a season (the time between a solstice and an equinox). Now another sort of Blue Moon is coming up. We called it a Blue Moon because it was the second of two full moons in a calendar month. But that full moon – like most Blue Moons – was blue in name only. That night, the Blue Moon was near red Mars. Our last Blue Moon came on the night of Halloween, 2020. But it’ll be near Jupiter and Saturn! Read more. Okay, so the moon won’t be blue in color on August 22, 2021.

So weve been map-making off-screen, creating to-scale replicas of Hollow Knights corridors, towers, and all of its little metroidvania bits (you know. (Please make answers as spoiler-free as possible). Hi everyone So I’ve been asked to show this off several times, but never wanted to do it as I don’t like this map very much. The Hollow Knight gains Souls in combat that he can use for spells and healing. Sorry that I don't recall the precise names of any of them. I may have done things in an unusual order, because I don't have a light source or a double-jump, either of which would make some of these passages accessible.Ībilities I do have: wall jump, dash, super dash, as well as sharpened nail, blade whirl, vengeful soul (ranged magic attack), and downward magic strike (breaks floor). Hollow Knight is known for its frantic, boss-heavy melee combat that sees players weaving in and out of enemy attack patterns looking for an opening to strike. This is the most frustrating, because it seems to be crossable in theory, but it's dark and there's a crystal hunter flying around making it exceedingly difficult to get across. Only accessible with a high jump that I don't seem to have.Ī dark passage with a crystal floor. I can see the silhouette of what looks like a toll tower, but I can't interact with it. Grubs are essentially Hollow Knight’s collectibles and they’re tucked away in the nooks and crannies of Hollownest. This is how I first got into the cavern, but it's now at the bottom of a long wide well with overhangs to prevent wall-jumping.Ī dark passage, blocked. If you want to see your character in map you need grind for money and buy a upgrade This game has so many unnecessary upgrades. You can charge a super dash on top of the adjacent platform, but the resulting way across is blocked by another wall. The first part of this long cavern is crossable with a super dash, but unfortunately the last part of the cavern has a long vertical drop following by a long width of crystal-covered floor too wide to cross with a dash. Unfortunately, all of them are inaccessible or extremely difficult. There are five things on the map which might be exits. I am playing Hollow Knight entirely blind, and I seem to have gotten myself stuck in Crystal Peak. The game is played on a board having an arrangement of holes, with counters of some sort - typically pegs or marbles. to have been the 'Rubik's Cube' of the court of Louis XIV." New Problems on Old Solitaire Boards (PDF), George Bell and John Beasley state that Other statistics can be found at Jean-Charles Meyrignac's website Taken from Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays by Berlekamp, Conway, and Guy.
