![]() Though the change to the receiver frame may appear to be subtle to the casual eye, it did cause a corresponding change to the shape and inletting of the butt stock at the upper tang to receiver frame juncture.Note that the transition point from the tang to the receiver is much sharper (nearly a 90-degree turn), whereas the Type 2 frame (seen in the pictures of the hammer types) has an approximate 45-degree turn at the transition to the receiver. The contour (shape) of the upper tang to receiver frame juncture was altered, resulting in what I refer to as the Type 3 receiver frame-serial range 1472000–1473800 (January 1948).The old style checkered (knurled) hammer was replaced with a serrated hammer: s/n range 1411700–1412400 (February 1947).Production Changesĭuring the 30-month production run of the Flat Band Carbine, several notable production changes took place: Winchester had not yet begun drilling and tapping the left side of the receivers for mounting a peep sight as a standard feature, but that option could have been special ordered (for a Lyman No. The upper tang was unmarked, and it was not drilled and tapped for a tang sight. The second model (type 2) receiver frame was standard, with a checkered (knurled) hammer, a slotted magazine tube cap, and a flat checkered steel butt plate. When the Flat Band Carbine production began in July of 1946, it was available in all three of the standard calibers. Based on the detailed examination of several dozen Flat Band Carbines, thus far all of the verified barrel dates have been “46”, “47”, or “48.” Calibers and Features Production of the Flat Band ended in mid-December of the year 1948 (approximately serial number 1547300), after nearly 139,000 of them had been manufactured, and again, a small number of parts clean-up specimens have been found as late as February 1949. Based on the observed serial number range of the specimens surveyed thus far, the first Flat Band Carbines were manufactured in mid-July of the year 1946, beginning very near serial number 1373600 (there have been a very small number of specimens found with earlier serial numbers, but they were undoubtedly a case of Winchester using up older receivers). Production of the Flat Band Carbine began approximately nine-months after Winchester had resumed production of the Model 94 following WWII. Winchester Model 94 Flat Band Carbine Production Notes Serial Numbers (Related: Winchester Model 1894 restoration examples) When discussing the “Flat Band” Carbine, it is in direct reference to the front barrel band, which was formerly manufactured with a rounded milled contour, both examples shown below. ![]() However, and as you will soon discover in the presented facts to follow, the Flat Band Carbine variation was just another example of Winchester’s frequent attempts to reduce the production time and cost… after WWII had ended and sporting firearms production had been resumed. It has often been written and discussed that the Flat Band Carbine came to be as the result of Winchester’s efforts to support WWII firearms production, and that they were manufactured in the years 1943–1948. Setting the Record Straight on Winchester Model 94 Flat Band Carbine Production One of the more noticeable variations manufactured was one that we collectors refer to as the “Flat Band” Carbine. The Model 94 Carbine evolved frequently during its 123-year lifespan, and as a result of its continual evolution, many uniquely different variations were produced.

![]() ![]() If you’ve played Apex Legends, Fortnite, Gears of War, Elden Ring, or many more, you’ve seen Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC).ĮAC is the industry-leading anti-cheat service. In order to prevent that, we’ve implemented Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) into VRChat. Even seemingly non-malicious modifications complicate the support and development of VRChat, and make it impossible for VRChat creators to work within the expected, documented bounds of VRChat. Malicious modified clients allow users to attack and harass others, causing a huge amount of moderation issues. “Modified clients” are a large problem for VRChat in a variety of ways. Let’s start with the first major change which will be going live in the next few days. This time, though, there are some updates we’d like to be a little more transparent about, as we want the community to know exactly what we’re doing – and why. While we want to always show the community that we’re working on improving security, the nature of security means that we have to hold our cards close. We'll be back as soon as possible with the first set of these updates, changes, and features.Ĭhances are, if you’ve paid attention to VRChat’s patch notes in the past, you’ve probably noticed a vague (yet common!) line that’s added to the end of most updates: “Safety and security fixes.”Īs you probably can imagine, when you see this line, we’ve changed something to improve the security of our platform. Thank you for your patience as we work as quickly as we can to address your concerns and your feedback. As noted before, we are immediately adjusting internal development to address these changes. We have more planned and are gathering more information to understand and address more of your needs. We will be posting more information about those changes tomorrow. We've got an internal list of improvements we can implement quickly and are fast-tracking it through our production and implementation process. Our first priority for these changes is addressing several accessibility concerns in VRChat. We've also been watching and documenting constructive feedback via our typical channels like our Feedback boards, social media, and this Discord. In addition to the information we already had on hand, we've been talking to VRChat communities and community leaders about the changes and additions that they want most, including speaking to communities focused on accessibility to VRChat. Currently ongoing projects are being paused, rescheduled, or re-prioritized, and resources are being re-allocated to account for this change. We are changing our internal development roadmap and priorities to focus on the features and additions that you want. However, we hear you and see you saying that many of the modified client features that are being lost due to this are extremely important to you, or in some cases allow you to use VRChat at all, when in regards to modifications that added accessibility features that VRChat currently lacks.Īddressing these concerns and feedback is our highest priority. Let's follow that up with the hard part: we are going to be releasing this update, and we do not have plans or intent to revert or roll it back. We are reprioritizing, reorganizing, and changing our internal development roadmap to focus on the feedback you've given us. Since the announcement yesterday, we've gotten a LOT of feedback from all of you regarding the incoming 2022.2.2 VRChat update that integrates Easy Anti-Cheat. ![]() While the upfront costs may be higher, you’ll save on heating and cooling bills in the years to come.įollow these best practices to hire the best contractor as you start gathering quotes: You can either get insulation installed underneath the siding or opt for siding boards that are already insulated. Vinyl log siding requires additional insulation to maximize your home’s energy efficiency. Consider painting window frames and exterior doors to complement the new siding colors. You may want additional features as the siding project continues, such as new gutters with attached gutter guards or a roof with a more streamlined look. It costs more to install siding on two-story homes and homes with gables or unique features that require specialized cuts. Here are some additional factors that could impact the cost of installing vinyl log siding.

It happens because the code is a reflection of the crosshair settings you choose. Code mimicsīrowse enough crosshair codes and you’ll notice that sometimes two different codes produce basically the same crosshair. We’ve listed our code library in a way to avoid that happening (‘cause we’re nice like that). Crosshair codes always end in a number – if yours doesn’t, you probably have a partial code. Some sites list codes on multiple lines, so you might find you’ve only copied part of the code. If that didn’t work, try this… Partial codes ![]() VALORANT won’t accept a crosshair code if there’s a space or a line break after it, so hit backspace/delete until the code ends with a number, then try again.

Think in terms of the five-paragraph essay, even if your paper is longer. If using verbs, be certain to use the same tense. Each section of the outline should begin with the same type of word-nouns or verbs, for example. Alpha-numeric outlines provide less detail than full sentence outlines. Organize your outlineĬonsider using one of the following styles: full sentence or alpha-numeric. If your research does not have enough information to support the main idea you are presenting, you should, in general, complete additional research or revise the outline. Each main idea should have two or more supporting topics. Also, complete any necessary research or investigations. Gather notes, resources and references that you will need to support your content. Write down all the ideas you want to include or discuss 3. The best topics are those that are of interest to your reader and are arguable. Many times, instructors provide topics for students. Research essays for high school are early college are often five paragraphs in length and are either descriptive or argumentative. Determine the type of essay you'll be writing Here are steps that will help you craft an outline. Fortunately, the structures for all three are very similar. ![]() Common formats include descriptive essays, argumentative essays and comparative essays. How to write a research paper outlineĪfter identifying a topic, determine the type of research paper you'll be writing. Familiarity with the five-paragraph essay should ease the transition to longer papers. While many high school and college research papers are typically five paragraphs in length, longer papers are often variations on this format. Writers also use outlines to visualize essay elements and see how they fit together. Most contain the key points of each paragraph, the thesis, topic sentences, and supporting sentences, quotes or citations. Instead, incorporate the information you’ve identified into your own argument making sure to be cognizant of syntax.Outlines are visual aids that help writers organize their thoughts. However, do not copy/paste the annotations into your rough draft. Which one of the sources provides the strongest support for your position? Which one offers a counterargument? Which one(s) provide evidence which gives the argument logos credibility? As you hear the conversation in your head, arrange your annotations to begin to visualize the outline for your rough draft. Next, in selecting how to arrange the sources to create a rough draft, imagine the conversation again. It’s still your position – after all, you chose the sources. Even if you had a working thesis beforehand, it’s okay to revise it at this point to more clearly match the debate being presented by your sources. That response sums up the gist of the argument being discussed and makes clear your position on the topic. Now imagine that your best friend just walked up behind you and asked, “Hey, what are you all discussing?” Your one or two sentence answer is your thesis. The topic about which they are speaking is the information contained in your annotation. Once you have done this, arrange the annotations on a table in front of you and imagine that each source is a person standing before you speaking. If your annotated bibliography is printed on continuous pages, cut the annotations apart making certain to leave the bibliographical information with each annotation. Now that you have located sources that either agree or disagree with your position, it’s time to see how those sources inform your thesis. In this exercise, you are becoming part of the academic discussion, or discourse community, on your chosen topic. Now is the time to break out the scissors. While it may be easy for you to state your position and reasons for your argument, you may find it difficult to incorporate your secondary sources into your own draft and still maintain your own voice. A researched position paper is simply an argumentative essay in which you take a position on a chosen topic and defend it with secondary sources. ![]() Now that you’ve completed your annotated bibliography, you may find yourself struggling with how to begin the rough draft of the researched position paper assignment. 7.8 From Annotated Bibliography to Rough Draft: How to Develop your Position ![]() ![]() This Budget Planner has areas to focus on paying down debt, reaching savings goals, and tracking monthly spend… by writing it all down. If I paid down a credit card, how do I move the transaction to the right category? Things just never seem to even out the way I want. The problem I always find is that I can never figure out how to make the apps or automatically synced programs work for me. My budget is the biggest issue right now for me from a stress perspective – I don’t know why I can’t get myself together. I don’t really have a planner meant for the usual goal planning or long-term stuff, so we’ll see how I feel in April when I need to think about a new paper planner. She is the first person to tell you that these are not for planning out major events or life goals, it’s specifically about being productive each and every day. Unfortunately this planner is only made for four months and you can buy longer ones (or keep buying them when you need them). I also made a “Declutter” page, marked with a tab, so I can go through and declutter every area of my house, tackling a few spots per week. ![]() I didn’t take a picture of that section but the idea is to pull 1-2 of them from the weekly list and put them in your blocks for certain days. I like that there’s a meal planning section for each week and a place to dump to-dos for the whole week. I have a longer lunch break – I still will work during that period – but include a few more personal items. ![]() The afternoon usually involves interviews, calls, and other collaborative tasks. Reviewing new applicants and sourcing new candidates is a good task for the morning within my workday. Here is my sample block:Īs you can see, I try to get some personal stuff done before work and then split work tasks into each section, based on when it makes sense. You basically split your day into blocks, like you would have in high school most likely for each class, and you set specific to-dos within each block. I purchased this Productivity Planner based on the block scheduling system she has, which I talk about in my linked post here. I linked a lot of videos by Jordan Page (Fun Cheap or Free) and while I don’t think I love her from a personal perspective (feel free to do your own research), I think a lot of the tips and methods make sense. This is my current planner for events (lol – what are events?) or appointments. You can read my detailed review from when I first got this HERE. I will admit that I don’t currently use the to-do lists as much or the daily page planning, but I do sometimes! I just have a lot of planners and find that I don’t keep this tab open on my computer screen like I used to when working in the office? Not sure why. I still use my Artful Agenda, as it syncs up all of my digital calendars and keeps them in one place. I have a lot of planners this year because I personally found that I need to keep things separate in order to be successful. I always love sharing my planner setup for the year! I did still use my planners last year, for the most part – I know 2020 was a bizarre year to try to plan but I usually need SOMETHING to physically or digitally keep track of things, even if it’s just monitoring daily to-dos for work or blogging. ![]() To resist corrosion, the connection terminals of aluminum wiring require an antioxidant coating. You’ll need a #2 gauge wire for both aluminum and copper-clad aluminum wire. Many licensed electricians use #2 copper-clad or aluminum wire size.

Ordinary circuit breakers have relatively slow tripping times that may not catch arcs.AWG, American Wire Gauge, is the US standard for sizing electrical wiring.Ī 100 amp breaker panel requires either #4 copper wiring or #2 aluminum or copper-clad wiring. AFCIs detect in-line arcing and arcing between phases and between phase in neutral. They're now required for circuits in bedrooms and other critical areas in new houses, and as of 2008, they will be required throughout new homes.

GFCI circuits for the kitchen and bath and wet locations with AFCI for the bedrooms. What was perfectly fine back in 1960 is unacceptable in 2013. And speaking of code you may be required to bring other parts of your wiring up to date also to pass an inspection.

You are of course going to get a permit from the town etc and an inspection when your completed, RIGHT? If not you open a huge can of problems if there is ever a fire or injury from your work. There are 3 breakers protecting the kitchen panel. Any one of them will shut down that panel. There are 5 breakers protecting that panel in the shed. Redundancy is a good thing when playing with electricity. All of my panels have their own main disconnect breakers as well as the breakers feeding them. What I did was ensure that I had a secondary panel close to the kitchen which is the most circuit heavy room in the house, and fed that panel from a 100 amp breaker in the main panel.Īlso in the secondary panel is a 60 amp breaker for the shed in the back yard with its own 100 amp panel. You should end up with at least 2-15 amp breakers and 2-100 amp breakers in the pony panel. Then from that pony panel, run to the the panel that you want to add with the correct size of wire. Use the proper size wire to hook up the pony panel and rerun the 2 circuits that you disconnected from there. Select 2 breakers from your full panel and replace them with the correct size for a 100 amp pony panel. What you are proposing runs a high risk of someone catching a severe case of dead!

Those are all pretty common places for people to unpack and launch their installers and libraries from. ![]() If we let it install from the present location, it keeps the VSTSound file where you launched Library Manger from, and puts a ‘shortcut’ pointing to the current location in “ProgramData\Steinberg\Content\VSTsound”. If we tell it to ‘copy’ the content, it makes a ‘copy’ of the vstsound archives to “ProgramData\Steinberg\Content\VSTsound” and registers them. If we tell it to ‘move’ the content when registering, it moves the whole file to “ProgramData\Steinberg\Content\VSTsound” and registers it. When double clicking on a *.vstsound archive, it scans all vstsound files in the same directory and if they are not already installed we get some options. The new Library Manager allows us to register content from any location we like. ![]() “C:\InstallerScreenTank”) and see if that clears things up. If so, try moving your installer directories (any installers that contain unpacked vstsound files) elsewhere (I.E. If you’ve not installed anything out of ordinary on your own using the Library Manager, it still might be that the directory where you downloaded and installed Halion 6 or Sonic 3 from, happens to be in a directory that gets scanned for MediaBay on a regular basis. The point is, if you’ve got extra copies of some vstsound archives lurking somewhere, make sure that you do not keep such extraneous copies in a directory that Halion and/or Cubase keeps scanned for content. I reinstalled those user content packs with the Librarian, and they worked as expected, plus, no more popups. So, I moved the fresh archive that seemed to be causing trouble to a location that doesn’t get scanned, and the pop-ups went away. In the past I’d also kept some vstsound archives in here that I often got samples from to build with in Halion 5, but didn’t have any important ‘Halion presets’ stored in…so I’d simply been treating them like MediaBay browseable sample containers. I checked the Media Bay in Cubase, and as suspected, I had toggled this directory for continuous scanning of potential content, since I often keep lots of wav/aiff, and other shorter sample content stored there and like to have it bagged, tagged, and preview ready in Media Bay. So I figured, Halion must still be asking for this content for a reason…but why?Īt some point it hit me, “I wonder what would happen if I move this vstsound archive that I’ve kept lingering in “C:\Samples” to a directory that is NOT set to be scanned by the Cubase Media Bay for content?” I kept getting the popups after doing this, even if I used the Library manager to unregister, and delete the said content from “ProgramData\Steinberg\Content\VSTsound”. I’d installed it with the Halion Library Manger, which also put a fresh copy (I’d asked it to copy rather than move) into the usual “ProgramData\Steinberg\Content\VSTsound” directory that Halion likes to keep things. The catch seems to be that I’d asked the MediaBay in Cubase to keep a continuous scan for any samples and other content stored in “C:\Samples”. I unzipped them to a location (“C:\Samples\Halion\VSTsound”). I had downloaded some User made content packs ( found here) individually at some point. I got this at one point, but tracked it down to what seems to be this: In testing, I install and uninstall lots of things Halion related, and more often than not, reinstalling and cleaning up eLicenser clears things up for me. Over time I’ve learned to start here anytime something Steinberg acts up, particularly after installing new Steinberg software or updates. Even if it’s the latest version, go ahead and download a fresh copy and reinstall. The list is divided into ten levels and then into twenty-five words based on the frequency of use and difficulty. Fry found the first 300 words in 65% of everything written! So, here are links to 1000 of the most used words in reading and writing. Fry expanded on the Dolch Sight Word Lists and came up with the “ Fry 1000 Instant Words.” Dr. When repeated reading of text or phrases is practiced regularly, students’ word recognition, fluency, and comprehension improve significantly. Choral read them first with your child, then have your child practice rereading them throughout the day, as well as previously learned phrases, to build fluency. Start in order, teaching 5 phrases per day. The above link has Dolch Phrase cards, with 12 phrases on each card.

This is either by teaching the vowel team that the child hasn’t been exposed to or by finding the irregular part of the word that the child must memorize by heart. I later give the child a mini-lesson on how the trick word can be decoded. If the child can’t read it, I write that word on the child’s chart. I call on one student at a time to read the Bingo word in question.Students must be able to read the Bingo word called, and they must match the word to their Bingo card.

Many Dolch words have irregular spellings and can’t be sounded out, but try the following method:īuy a blank set of index cards and drill sections of the word lists each evening. When my son was in preschool and kindergarten, we bought a notebook, took 5 words daily from the Dolch and Fry lists (Fry lists below – many of the words overlap), and wrote 5 sentences each day together! This helped GREATLY with his reading, creative writing, spelling, and fine motor skills! The notebook full of sentences will always be treasured, and he continues to be an excellent reader, writer, and speller! The Dolch Words are the most frequently used in English, making up 50 to 70 percent of any text!
