![]() Yes, mistakes happen, but as a Silent Hill fan you would think the publisher is going out of their way to seem so incompetent when it comes to this series. Surely this mistake is one that members of the publisher regret, but it is merely one of many to occur in their handling of this series. Are you sure it's not in your download list when you go. On NeoGaf I’m seeing a confirmation of this unfortunate situation. 1 (message deleted) VegantoKeens 9 years ago 2 I have it on my Vita right now, could download it from the PSN store without any trouble. Apparently, this is not possible for Europeans. This morning when I heard that the games were not showing up as Vita compatible purchases for a European friend, I had suggested to him to simply transfer the game from his PS3 to his Vita as I had done in the past with my North American account and consoles. Silent Hill: Origins and Shattered Memories have not been made available on the Vita, just the PSP – Sony’s nine year old portable console. Somewhere along the line Konami managed to draft, release, and publicize an announcement that was incorrect. The time has come and this is not the case. Konami UK‘s Twitter account, as well as a blog post (title now edited but cached on Google), explicitly said that the two Silent Hill games were making their way to the Vita, via PSP emulation support. No, Konami themselves managed to hurt the expectations of Silent Hill fans yet again, as if it were a muscle that they actively needed to exercise in order to prevent atrophy. This was an innocent misunderstanding on part of some reporters but not the first to come from this announcement. Due to the wording of the announcements, some sites were led to believe that both games were being developed and released as Vita remakes.

Cohen-Tannoudji and others managed and reduced the light shifts to acceptable levels. Unfortunately, this caused a side effect with a light shift of the resonant frequency. This technique is useful for creating much stronger magnetic resonance and microwave absorption signals. In 1949, Kastler and Brossel developed a technique for making energy level transitions in atoms with light named optical pumping. This led to the first practical accurate atomic clock with caesium atoms being built at the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom in 1955 by Louis Essen in collaboration with Jack Parry A caesium atomic clock from 1975 (upper unit) and battery backup (lower unit) He proposed the concept in 1945, which led to a demonstration of a clock based on ammonia in 1949. This led to the idea of measuring the frequency of an atom's vibrations to keep time much more accurately, as proposed by James Clerk Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, and Isidor Rabi. The accuracy of mechanical, electromechanical and quartz clocks is reduced by temperature fluctuations. ĭuring the 1930s, Isidor Rabi built equipment for atomic beam magnetic resonance frequency clocks. The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell proposed measuring time with the vibrations of light waves in his 1873 Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism: ‘A more universal unit of time might be found by taking the periodic time of vibration of the particular kind of light whose wave length is the unit of length.’ Maxwell argued this would be more accurate than the Earth's rotation, which defines the mean solar second for timekeeping. History Louis Essen (right) and Jack Parry (left) standing next to the world's first caesium-133 atomic clock (1955) NIST-F2 was brought online on 3 April 2014. The primary standard for the United States, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s caesium fountain clock named NIST-F2, measures time with an uncertainty of 1 second in 300 million years (relative uncertainty 10 −16). The main variety of atomic clock uses caesium atoms cooled to temperatures that approach absolute zero. The timekeeping accuracy of the involved atomic clocks is important because the smaller the error in time measurement, the smaller the error in distance obtained by multiplying the time by the speed of light is (a timing error of a nanosecond or 1 billionth of a second (10 −9 or 1⁄ 1,000,000,000 second) translates into an almost 30-centimetre (11.8 in) distance and hence positional error). The accurate timekeeping capabilities of atomic clocks are also used for navigation by satellite networks such as the European Union's Galileo Program and the United States' GPS. The system of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) that is the basis of civil time implements leap seconds to allow clock time to track changes in Earth's rotation to within one second while being based on clocks that are based on the definition of the second. ![]() This definition is the basis for the system of International Atomic Time (TAI), which is maintained by an ensemble of atomic clocks around the world. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency, Δ ν C s, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium 133 atom, to be 9 192 631 770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s −1. The second, symbol s, is the SI unit of time. This phenomenon serves as the basis for the International System of Units' (SI) definition of a second: Electron states in an atom are associated with different energy levels, and in transitions between such states they interact with a very specific frequency of electromagnetic radiation. It is based on atoms having different energy levels.

Josh Kovaks (Ben Stiller) is the building manager of The Tower, a high-rise luxury apartment complex on Central Park West in New York City whose employees include concierge Charlie (Casey Affleck), who is expecting a child with Josh's sister Enrique (Michael Peña), a newly hired elevator operator Lester (Stephen Henderson), the doorman nearing retirement Odessa (Gabourey Sidibe), a Jamaican maid on a work visa and receptionist Miss Iovenko (Nina Arianda), who furtively studies for her bar exam at work. Concern over the implementation's harming ticket sales and inspiring further films to follow suit resulted in several theater chains' refusal to show the film at all if the plan went ahead, forcing Universal to abandon the idea. Prior to release, the film was involved in a controversy over plans by Universal Pictures to release it for home viewing on video on demand to 500,000 Comcast customers, only three weeks after its theatrical debut. Much of the criticism received by the film was focused on the plot which was considered "formulaic," "rushed," "dull" and "laborious." The film earned almost $153 million during its theatrical run. However, Murphy was repeatedly singled out by critics as the star of the film, with critics feeling that he displayed a welcome return to the comedic style of his early career. The film received mixed reviews with much of the praise going to the cast, including Broderick, Leoni and Stiller. The film score was composed by Christophe Beck and released commercially on November 1, 2011. Filming took place entirely in New York City on a budget of $85 million, with several buildings provided by Donald Trump used to represent the eponymous tower. Ratner continued to develop the idea into what would eventually become Tower Heist, with Murphy later rejoining the production. As the script developed and changed into an Ocean's Eleven–style caper, Murphy left the project. Tower Heist began development as early as 2005, based on an idea by Murphy that would star himself and an all-black cast of comedians as a heist group who rob Trump Plaza.

Perhaps this complicated my situation, but if you see me use command x, instead of command Y, this might be why. Just to preface, I'm stuck using git 1.7.1 on my staging server, which as near as I can tell was released early 2011, so just a few years old now. If you're using Github, you might be interested i n this answer too. Some of this may apply to other services as well, though I've only been tested it with Bitbucket. So I'm documenting the steps I took to make this work with Bitbucket. There are some good source out in the interwebs on this already, but they don't directly address private submodules. I needed to create a deployment strategy for wordpress that employed private submodules repos. How to use public & private submodules within a repo I've even tried absorbing the user name into the alias like so Host :īut this results in conq: invalid repository syntax.Īt this point I can't see the forest, never mind trees. While this looks promising, the result is the same ssh: Could not resolve hostname. *A list of all the repos associated with that key* This deploy key has read access to the following repositories: Now when I test it with ssh -Tv after a lot of output, we get: authenticated via a deploy key. On the server, the alias for points to this common key. ![]() My last approach has been to make one common key (different from my account key, they wont let you do that) and assign it to the parent repo, and each submodule. But this simply isn't working, the parent key is being recognised, but aliases for submodules keys are not. Thus far i've been hunting for ways to reference these aliased-keys in. When that didn't work for subs, I set up keys for each of them, and then on the server, aliases for each of them too, but keeping the parent repo key the same as before. My approach so far has been to create an ssh key alias linking to the parent key that I established for this server in my personal bitbucket settings. I would have thought the error would have read ssh: Could not resolve hostname *:username* -HUMMMM The result was the same error: ssh: Could not resolve hostname :username. There must be some caching in effect, because changing the host on the alias to something impossible like. Obviously the alias isn't resolving at all.Īs option 1 seemed to be at least making the ssh request, I manipulated the ssh alias that I thought was routing the request to the proper key. Result: ssh: Could not resolve hostname :username It looks like an alias is resolving, but something is blocking the key? So sadly this operation does not seem to address issues with missing private repos. None of the private repos will be listed in this operation. After each change, Im running: git submodule update -init -recursiveĮDIT: as suggested in comments re updating the links, at this point a git submodule sync will sync all submodules which have already completed a pull. This deploy key has read access to the following repositories: XXXXX You can use git or hg to connect to Bitbucket. Just to be sure the aliases are working we can test them with: ssh -Tv when successful returns a lot of output ending with. So after making individual (I could have created just one) keys and creating ssh aliases for each of them (on the staging server), I'm stuck as to how to reference those key properly. (scroll down to 'Private repos" heading for some interesting comments in this article by Luke Woodward) This isn't totally surprising as to access private repos, we need to associate another key, which cannot be the same as the one associated with the account. Here is where things go wrong and ssh can't connect and the process halts on the first private repo. # git fetch -recurse-submodules=yes # introduced 1.7.3 Git submodule foreach git pull origin master # git submodule update -remote # Not available in 1.7.1 So far so good but the submodules are empty: # Update submodules The staging server has a few locked files in the environment which I have to work around, so I am initialising as follows: git init This is working as the private parent repo is pulling in just fine. Ssh: Could not resolve hostname :username: Name or service not known, and the process stops here.Īs per the docs, I have set up a deployment key for the staging server and have created an ~/.ssh/config alias to point to that key. ![]() ![]() However the first private repo encountered returns this The submodules which are not private are coming in without issue.

Upon arrival at the dirt parking area, we found our group of 4 RZRs already lined up, and met Jason – our guide for the afternoon. We then drove the 8 miles in our own car to the Peek-A-Boo trailhead parking area. Here we were fitted with helmets and protective eyewear, signed the usual waivers, and watched a quick video explaining a little bit about the day ahead. The Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon Tour starts at the Kanab Tour Company office in Kanab. I definitely wanted to drive, and thinking that this sounded like a great afternoon, signed us up. Many other tour companies located in Kanab insist on doing the driving for you. We could drive one of their Polaris RZR UTVs along the rough access road, while also having fun exploring the surrounding trails. So I sought out alternative ways to explore slot canyons, ultimately discovering Kanab Tour Company and their Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon ATV Tour. However, because it was a last minute trip (during Utah’s busy Fall Break weekend no less) rentals were booked. We had done something similar at Capitol Reef National Park last year, spending a day exploring the remote Cathedral Valley Loop in a rented Jeep. I looked into renting a high-clearance 4×4 while in Kanab, so we could see many of the area’s off-road sites. Many are at the end of dirt roads that absolutely require high clearance 4×4 vehicles, as is the case with Peek-A-Boo slot canyon. Most of the popular slot canyons near Kanab are not easy to access. But some locals believe it’s named for a tiny “window” in the canyon’s wall that allows for photos like this…. We were later told that no one knows exactly why the Canyon’s name was changed from Red to Peek-A-Boo. (I’ve also written about the other Red Canyon on this blog) This not to be confused with Utah’s other Red Canyon located near Bryce Canyon National Park. Adding to the confusion, the Kanab Peek-A-Boo Slot Canyon is also known by its original name Red Canyon. One is located in the Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument, and the other is 8 miles north of Kanab on BLM land. There are two Peek-A-Boo slot canyons in Utah. I guess when it comes to naming 1000 slot canyons, creativity can become an issue. Kanab is a great base for exploring several of the most popular. Utah has the highest concentration of slot canyons in the world with an estimated 1000 of them in the southern part of the state. If you are in the Kanab/East Zion area, this hike is worth a couple hours.A slot canyon is a long narrow passageway eroded through sandstone with tall, sheer rock walls often reaching 100 feet or higher. It is a little more remote and more difficult than the hike described here. It is also a great hike for families and new canyoneers. There is a totally different Peek-A-Boo canyon near Escalante, UT, that is part of the very popular Peek-A-Boo/Spooky Gulch loop. Many guides in Kanab and the surrounding area offer treks here. Many people utilize guides for this trek, mostly because they do not have a vehicle that can get to the trailhead. From there, just follow the sandy jeep road east until you drop into the canyon. The turnoff from Hwy 89 is clearly marked and easy to find. The access road has deep sand and can only be driven by high clearance 4-wheel drive vehicles. The most difficult part of this outing is getting to the trailhead. Never enter this or other slot canyons if there is a chance of rain anywhere in the drainage. It gives a sense as to the power of the water that occasionally thunders through. Some debris has been left in the canyon by floods. The walls are beautiful, sculpted and very photogenic. The canyon is deep, with red walls that have been carved by flash floods. Watch for the ancient Moki steps carved into the wall half-way up the canyon. The bottom of the wash is sandy and you do have to climb rocks, but the obstacles are minor and there is little elevation gain. Younger kids or people that are not sure on their feet may require a steadying hand in spots. Most kids enjoy climbing on rocks and can make the trek with no trouble. Winter temps can be chilly in the canyon but it can be enjoyable hiking if you have proper gear. ![]() Spring and fall days are ideal but summer is not bad because the canyon walls provide shade. This has become a popular hike and you will probably encounter other hikers. Go until you get tired or reach the end, which is an unpassable dryfall. It is also a wonderful canyon adventure for kids.įrom the trailhead, you just hike up the canyon, negotiating a couple minor obstacles. This is a great outing for someone who wants a safe slot canyon experience, or is just learning about canyoneering. It is a beautiful, fun, family-friendly slot canyon located just east of Hwy 89, north of Kanab. ![]() |
