What is scratch coding4/22/2024 ![]() If you want to use Scratch, you don’t need to register or have an account. Scratch is free of charge, making it accessible to as many users as possible. Finished projects as well as those still in progress can be published and shared on the Scratch platform, allowing the large community to help each other out and give each other advice. In addition to being used privately, it is also used in IT classes in schools. The intuitive, block-based system which has a drag-and-drop feature lets users combine elements and engage in storytelling in a playful way.Īnother advantage of Scratch is that it is currently used in over 150 countries and there are tutorials in over 40 languages. Instead of investing lots of time and learning intensively, the focus is placed on flexibility, creativity and curiosity. Since digital competencies and programming skills are among the key competencies of the future, Scratch shows what can be done with programming even if you don’t have prior experience with coding. ![]() Scratch aims to make it as easy as possible for children and teenagers (and adults who are starting to learn to code) to enter the world of programming. The first version, which included an exclusive development environment based on Squeak, was released in 2007. Much of the funding comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and volunteer donors. The Lifelong Kindergarten Group handles Scratch’s development and support. professor Mitchel Resnick and his Lifelong Kindergarten Group, a research team at the MIT Media Laboratory in Cambridge. Scratch originated from an open-source project, led by U.S. Our article “ Learn to program with Scratch” explains how children and teenagers can use Scratch and also provides step-by-step instructions for a simple Scratch project. This is why Scratch is considered building-block programming. Since only compatible blocks and data types can be combined, mistakes are easy to avoid. The graphical blocks can be easily pushed together to form stacks that syntactically match each other. To do this, graphical blocks are used in place of text-based coding. This means that creative ideas from games and animations to interactive stories can be implemented quickly. Unlike traditional programming languages such as Java and C++, Scratch uses a graphical user interface. With the Scratch platform and its visual programming language, coding for kids is easier than ever This is proven by simplified programming solutions such as scripting languages, visual programming and WYSIWYG editors. When thinking about web programming languages, many people think of complicated, hard-to-understand text-based coding and source code. What are the benefits of using Scratch?. ![]()

Driver genius full portable4/22/2024 ![]() ![]() For some portable car jump starter packs, you won’t need to turn the power switch on while for others you will.Īdvice, how-to guides, and car care information featured on and AutoZone Advice & How-To’s are presented as helpful resources for general maintenance and automotive repairs from a general perspective only and should be used at your own risk. If you’re looking to charge a USB device like a smartphone or power a small appliance like a toaster while you’re camping, use the outlets like you normally would at home. With the engine running, turn off the power switch (if equipped) and carefully disconnect the cables from the battery posts. If the problem was battery power, your engine should fire right up. Never turn a portable jump starter on before it’s connected properly and you’re about to crank the engine over.Ĭrank the engine over until it starts. If there’s a power switch, now’s when you turn it on. Prop the device up so that it won’t be in the way of moving parts when the engine starts. Often, you’ll get an indicator light up or a tone if you’ve connected it wrong. ![]() Clamp the red cable to the positive (+) post on the battery and the black cable to the negative (-) post. Determine which connectors you will need and get your jump starter set up.Ĭonnect your jump starter to the battery directly, if you can. Some booster packs have hardwired cables while others have quick-attach options. Usually, it’s a common household plug and a port on the side of the device. Most portable jump starters come with some juice in the battery when it’s delivered, but charge it fully before you need it. Using a portable jump starter is something every driver should know, and it’s a great idea to test it out before you actually need it in a time-sensitive situation. While some are simply jump starters, others are multi-tools.Īs with any equipment you purchase, read the instructions to get specific directions on its functions and safe operation. ![]() Others have USB chargers built in, or they could have LED work lights, and others yet have an inverter to power 110-volt household devices. Some higher-end boosters can jump-start 6-volt, 12-volt, and 24-volt systems. ![]() Lead-acid and lithium-ion jump starters are the two main variants, and Li-ion is smaller, more powerful, and lighter, thus it’s more expensive. One of the main determiners is the type of battery it possesses. The massive price range is due to the power capacity and other options the portable car jump starter contains. It’s almost foolproof, and you’re unlikely to fry any electronics with it. Two leads come out the side – a red positive lead and a black negative lead – that clamp to your battery terminals without worrying that you’ve mixed up the order between the vehicles. Inside the jump starter is a compact yet powerful battery that can often start an engine more than a dozen times over without being recharged. It’s more convenient, faster, and its size makes it perfect to use remotely and take with you when there’s no help around for miles. It uses the donor’s battery storage and alternator’s power generation to quickly enable a start.Įssentially, a portable jump starter does a similar function without needing a second vehicle. In a situation where you jump-start a dead battery on a car, truck, boat, RV, or motorcycle, you connect booster cables from the terminals of the recovery vehicle to the dead battery’s posts. ![]() Conan exiles armor sets bonuses4/22/2024 ![]() The same applies to your Attributes, Armor, and Skills - notably, Strength builds aim to optimize the skills available in the game to prevent excess damage.

For images of these cards, just check out the standard sized cards! To make it easy to locate them, they have the same identifying numbers. Jumbo sized cards are often released as larger versions of promo cards. It’s part of the first set to include GX cards, and thanks to the beautiful design, it’s highly sought after. ![]() Interestingly this rainbow card was released before the standard full-art version. If you’re looking for the rainbow Charizard-GX tag team, scroll down to the tag team section below. It has one of the highest values, so if you find this card make sure you keep hold of it (or auction it off). So far, there’s only one Charizard-GX that’s printed in rainbow, which is the Burning Shadows expansion version. Rainbow cards are visually shiny and glint, like a holo card, but are also rainbow in color. There’s no shortage of Pokémon fans posting photos of this card on Instagram!

Released around August 2017, the first Charizard-GX card is full-art (like all Charizard-GX cards) and features Crimson Storm. With so many Charizard-GX cards available, the easiest way to keep track of which we are referring to is by identifying the number in the bottom left-hand corner of the card.

Myriad Headline A "Headline" version was also released, which has the weight of Myriad Bold, but slightly narrower. The condensed fonts comprise three weights, with complementary italics. Myriad Condensed It was a condensed version, released around 1998. All these Type 1 versions supported the ISO-Adobe character set all were discontinued in the early 2000s. It initially included four fonts in two weights, with complementary italics. This PostScript Type 1 font family was released after the original Myriad MM. The concept has since been redeveloped as part of the OpenType variable fonts technology. The concept was not widely supported by third-party applications, and so most releases of Myriad have been in the form of separate font files. The later Segoe UI and Corbel are also similar.ĭuring the 1990s, Adobe developed a release of Myriad in the multiple master format, an ambitious format intended to allow the user to fine-tune weight, width and other characteristics of the design to their preferred form. Myriad is similar to Adrian Frutiger's famous Frutiger typeface, although the italic is a true italic unlike Frutiger's oblique Frutiger described it as "not badly done" but felt that the similarities had gone "a little too far". Twombly described the design process as one of swapping ideas to create a "homogeneous" design but said that in retrospect she found the experience "too hard" to want to repeat. As a family intended for body text and influenced by traditional book printing, text figures are included as well as lining figures at cap height. The 'g' is single-storey and the 'M' has sloped sides on the model of Roman square capitals. Its letterforms are open rather than "folded-up" on the nineteenth-century grotesque sans-serif model, and its sloped form is a " true italic" based on handwriting. Myriad is a humanist sans-serif, a relatively informal design taking influences from handwriting. Myriad is easily distinguished from other sans-serif fonts due to its "y" descender (tail) and slanting "e" cut. Myriad is known for its usage by Apple Inc., replacing Apple Garamond as Apple's corporate font from April 29, 2002, to January 24, 2017. Myriad was intended as a neutral, general-purpose typeface that could fulfill a range of uses and have a form easily expandable by computer-aided design to a large range of weights and widths. Myriad is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Robert Slimbach and Carol Twombly for Adobe Systems. ![]() 6 inch cake actual size4/22/2024 ![]() ![]() There are a few things you need, and a few more that aren’t technically necessary but are really nice to have. The tools you need to bake and decorate a 6-inch cake are exactly the same as those you need for standard 8- or 9-inch cakes. Doneness is measured either when a cake tester comes out clean, or when the surface has a light spring when touched. Or, if you think it’s close, give it only another three minutes. If a recipe calls for a 25-minute bake time for a 9-inch cake, start with 10 minutes for a 6-inch cake, rotate the cake in the oven (you’re always rotating your cakes, right?), then give it another five minutes. Keep the listed baking temp from the recipe the same, but don’t wander far from the kitchen. Once you’ve scaled down your ingredients, you can make the cake exactly to the recipe’s specifications-except when it comes to baking time. Write down your results-don’t do this in your head as you go!Ĭake math, step 3: bake-but watch the time (If it’s helpful, see this parchment paper rounds for cakes video & post. Parchment paper helps the cakes seamlessly release from the pans. Grease three 6-inch round cake pans, line with parchment paper rounds, then grease the parchment paper. Multiply the original larger recipe measurement by the percentage to find the measurement of each ingredient for your smaller cake. Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350F (177C). Next, we use these percentages to convert the ingredient measurements. So a 6-inch pan is 57% of an 8-inch pan’s area. For example: 29 in 2 (the area of 6-inch pan) divided by 51 square inches (the area of an 8-inch pan) = 57%. ![]() Divide the smaller pan area by the larger pan area to calculate your percentage. Now that we have the area of the pans, it’s easiest to work in percentages. Want to skip the pi part and get right to cake? Here’s a cheat sheet for the most common round cake pan sizes:Ĭake math, step 2: convert the measurements So for a 6-inch round cake pan, π x 3 x 3 = 28.26 in 2 (which, for sanity’s sake, you would round up to 29 in 2). This creates a five layers of cake that are thick enough so that. Remember, the radius is half the diameter. The cake pan set I use from Lakeland has five six inch cake tins. The area of a round cake pan can be calculated by multiplying π (3.14 is good enough) by the radius of the pan, and then squaring it (in other words, multiplying it by itself). Of course, layer cake recipes rarely use square or rectangular pans, which means you’ll probably have to calculate the area of a circular pan. For square and rectangular pans, this is easy to do-just multiply the length and the height (a 9 x 9 pan = 81 square inches). To convert a recipe for any big cake into a recipe for 6-inch pans, start by determining the area of the larger cake pans. Need more details? Love to learn?

This measurement encodes many observables, including the "impact parameter", or how close to the center of the star the planet transits, the size of the star (or more precisely, how dense the star is), and the eccentricity of the planet's orbit, or how close to a circle the planet's orbit is. The duration of the transit is the time it takes for the planet to cross over the face of the star. The grey points and purple points are averages over 1 minute and 15 minute intervals, respectively: The average secondary eclipse of HAT-P-7 b using the entire Kepler data is shown below. It is barely discernible by eye in the previous plot, but if you observe many of these eclipses and average the data, the secondary eclipse is quite apparent. This decrease in brightness is called the "secondary eclipse", and for planets is usually quite small. When the planet goes behind the star, any light from the planet, either starlight reflected off the planet's surface, or light being emitted by the planet because it is glowing hot, is blocked. The amount of time between two successive transits is the "orbital period" of the planet, which is the length of that planet's year: Using the formula for the planetary radius:Īnd plugging in values for depth = 0.6% = 0.006, R * = 2 solar radii, we find a planetary radius R p of about 1.5 Jupiter radii. Here, the transits decrease the flux from 1.0 to about 0.994 - a decrease of about 0.6%. The depth of these transits encodes the size of the planet. The Kepler light curve of HAT-P-7 shows three very convincing transits - the large dips highlighted with red arrows below. The entire span of the graph is within 1% of the total brightness of the star! Searching for transiting planets requires highly precise brightness measurements. This planet is a hot Jupiter - one of the easiest types of planets to detect.įirst of all, notice the scale of the plot above. The figure below shows a Kepler light curve of an exoplanet called HAT-P-7 b. The best part is that all of the data ever collected by Kepler are freely available to the public and can be downloaded from the internet by anyone. When it was operating, it was the most powerful planet-hunting observatory ever built. ![]() Launched in 2009, Kepler searched for transiting exoplanets for nearly a decade, before the end of its mission in 2018.
