1977 case skat back12/15/2023 ![]() If you google case 680 backhoe, you can see what mine looked like from a sale listing in Utah. I have only seen one other 680 like yours on the internet. My cab was almost identical, but I think mine had more tin and slightly smaller glass. Hello dieselman, I just viewed your 680 B. Good Luck with your bigger powered beast. I've decided what I'm going to do with the fenders, and now just have to do it like Nike ! If I paid myself for my time, I should not have done this project, but I like the way it looks so far and it feels good driving it so what the heck. I have the cab mounted, put in center posts and bolted them to the inner fenders which bolt onto the fuel tank,which is centered in between and above the rear drive axle. My uncle had a Case implement dealership, and owned a 680 B for about a year. If I didn't have my autobody skills, I would have been a fool to attempt it. ![]() It had almost perfect dimensions for my 680 C. I found a Massey Ferguson 2755 agricultural tractor cab for $250. It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't very comfortable. You had to step up about 8-10" extra to get into a tiny,obstructed view, weather element limiter. My 1970 had the tin can factory cab with a sliding entry door. I have pictures of my 680 C but I'm going to have to get my computer friend to train me so I can post them. It's interesting to see the changes that are made and the pros and cons of those changes, and the variety within a certain model letter as in case of the Case's. I like looking at all the 680'S I can google search. ByeHello thudson, I too would like to see some photos of your 780 B.

If you wove through the crowds, stood in the lines and dodged the bicycles at this year’s Northern Spark, you won’t be surprised to learn that more than 34,000 people attended the all-night arts festival that opened at the Convention Center and settled into the Mill City Museum, the Guthrie and the Stone Arch Bridge area for the rest of the night.

Postgres varchar type12/15/2023 ![]() By the end, you’ll be armed with the knowledge to make informed decisions when designing your database schema. We’ll include examples for each data type and real-world use cases. But with great power comes great responsibility, and in this case, that responsibility is choosing the right data type.įear not! In this article, we’ll explore the world of PostgreSQL data types and help you navigate the labyrinth of syntax and usage. If you desire to store long strings with no specific upper limit, use text or character varying without a length specifier, rather than making up an arbitrary length limit.PostgreSQL is like a Swiss Army Knife for data storage – it’s a popular open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that can handle just about anything you throw at it. It wouldn't be useful to change this because with multibyte character encodings the number of characters and bytes can be quite different. (The maximum value that will be allowed for n in the data type declaration is less than that. In any case, the longest possible character string that can be stored is about 1 GB. Very long values are also stored in background tables so that they do not interfere with rapid access to shorter column values. Long strings are compressed by the system automatically, so the physical requirement on disk might be less. Longer strings have 4 bytes of overhead instead of 1. The storage requirement for a short string (up to 126 bytes) is 1 byte plus the actual string, which includes the space padding in the case of character. For more information refer to Section 24.3. Regardless of the specific character set, the character with code zero (sometimes called NUL) cannot be stored. The characters that can be stored in any of these data types are determined by the database character set, which is selected when the database is created. Note that trailing spaces are semantically significant in character varying and text values, and when using pattern matching, that is LIKE and regular expressions. Trailing spaces are removed when converting a character value to one of the other string types. In collations where whitespace is significant, this behavior can produce unexpected results for example SELECT 'a '::CHAR(2) collate "C" < E'a\n'::CHAR(2) returns true, even though C locale would consider a space to be greater than a newline. However, trailing spaces are treated as semantically insignificant and disregarded when comparing two values of type character. Values of type character are physically padded with spaces to the specified width n, and are stored and displayed that way. Although the type text is not in the SQL standard, several other SQL database management systems have it as well. In addition, PostgreSQL provides the text type, which stores strings of any length. ![]() If character varying is used without length specifier, the type accepts strings of any size. character without length specifier is equivalent to character(1). If specified, the length must be greater than zero and cannot exceed 10485760. The notations varchar( n) and char( n) are aliases for character varying( n) and character( n), respectively. (This too is required by the SQL standard.) If one explicitly casts a value to character varying( n) or character( n), then an over-length value will be truncated to n characters without raising an error. (This somewhat bizarre exception is required by the SQL standard.) If the string to be stored is shorter than the declared length, values of type character will be space-padded values of type character varying will simply store the shorter string. An attempt to store a longer string into a column of these types will result in an error, unless the excess characters are all spaces, in which case the string will be truncated to the maximum length. Both of these types can store strings up to n characters (not bytes) in length. SQL defines two primary character types: character varying( n) and character( n), where n is a positive integer. Table 8.4 shows the general-purpose character types available in PostgreSQL. Wwe 2k22 e312/15/2023 ![]() I’ve found it easier to remember where moves are mapped, and stringing together different types of melee combos quickens the pace. The streamlined controls feel more pick-up-and-play friendly, but I’d have to pass the controller to a complete newcomer to test that theory. In my short time with 2K22, I’m enjoying the gameplay more than I have in the previous 2K titles. It doesn’t take long and does a decent job breaking down 2K22’s more approachable combat, which feels like a middle-ground between the arcade-style action of the old Smackdown series with the realistic simulation of the recent 2K games. So far, it’s a marked improvement over 2K20’s graphics.īooting up the game presents the option of playing through a nifty and humorous tutorial of the game’s revamped combat (hosted by Drew Gulak), which I recommend everyone play no matter how experienced they are. ![]() The lighting looks especially great as well, shining brightest during the Showcase modes’ historical bouts, which recreate the ambiance of events from the 90s/00s. The improved cinematography during entrances makes a noticeable difference in selling the idea that I’m playing a TV broadcast. Still, the in-ring animations appear smooth and life-like. As a wrestling fan, it’s hard not to nitpick little things that probably wouldn’t bother a more casual viewer/player ( Finn Bálor's finger-pointing during his entrance looks a bit robotic), and hair, while improved, isn’t all the way there. Although I haven’t seen every wrestler or entrance, I will say that 2K22 is a good-looking game. So far, I’ve only played a few singles matches and have started the Showcase mode. Until then, here are some early impressions. However, since we didn’t receive codes until yesterday (Sunday), we need to spend a lot more time in the ring before rendering a complete verdict. Although WWE 2K22 launches Friday, March 11, review embargo lifted today. German ww1 gas mask12/15/2023 It was replaced in 1935 after it was deemed unsuitable for chemical protection due to the masks' relatively old age and deteriorating facepieces. The GM17 was the standard issue gas mask for the Lithuanian army from 1918 to 1935. On November 2, 1917, the British Government expressed its sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations and announced that it would use its best endeavours to. The designation used under the Nationalist army was N 16.ĭecommissioned GM17 masks were also purchased, refurbished and used by the Lithuanian interwar military. ![]() Later, at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, the Francoist troops located in Morocco still had their GM17s and brought them to the mainland, where they were issued until the end of the war. Some reconditioned GM17 masks, which had an added exhale valve and an FE filter, were purchased by the Spanish army and used during the Rif war. Both references talk about the boxes of the 27M (the 17M was issued with a metal carrying box). The second one talks about the issuing of anti fog soap instead of anti fog inserts for 28M and 27M masks (1933. The first reference talks about the cost of the repaired rubber and leather masks, filters and its boxes (1929. The first "Hungarian" mask after the First World War. Repaired 17M (later called by the Hungarian army as 18M) and 18M masks. Magyar Királyi Honvédség (Hungarian Royal Army) No notable flaws, even the string on the front of the gas mask is still present as well as the cardboard instruction disk at the bottom of the canister, and the spare lens in the compartment on the lid. Not to be confused with Hungarian used 17M masks which had the same designation, 18M. G1047 Complete M1917 Gas Mask Original WWI German M1917 Ledermaske gas mask set in excellent lightly used and complete condition. Kaiserlich und Königlich Armee (Austro-Hungarian Royal Army)įew (lesser than GM15) masks were bought from Germany by Austria-Hungary and were issued to the army. The German Empire used the mask in great quantities and after the war it was used for training. The mask was issued in a cylindrical canister box with a very simple strap. The third layer contains diatomite soaked with 40% potassium carbonate, hexamine and piperazine. However, the German infantry’s advance - or rather pleasant stroll - towards the well-defended fortress turned. The next, the middle layer, is pure activated carbon. The Russian troops, whose gas masks were as good as useless, seemed doomed to die. The first layer is activated carbon soaked with 40% potassium carbonate just like in the Model 1915. A group of old college friends reunite for a trip. The steel canister now contains 3 layers separated with steel sieves. With Rafe Spall, Arsher Ali, Robert James-Collier, Sam Troughton. This later filter was updated to be more effective against new chemical agents that appeared in the later years of the war. Used the same Model 11/11 filter what the GM15 did. The same eyepieces and valve house was used on the Gasschutzhaube. The purpose of the string on the front of the mask is to prevent the filter from sagging. There is no inlet valve or exhale valve, and because of that, the user has to blow out the air through the peripheral seal and the filter. The celluloid lenses have an inner-frame. The 1940 model has been part of the museum collection since 1959 and was provided by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine's Zootechnical Institute.The mask is made of tanned sheepskin (due to rubber shortage) and is dipped in an oil sealant. ![]() The Utrecht University Museum's Veterinary Medicine Collection includes two equine gas masks produced during World War II: one from 1940 and one from 1944. This included a special equine gas mask, which was subsequently improved upon by other researchers around the world. The Gummimasken were not reissued postwar. Here's a good site showing wartime and postwar examples. The Germans did refit the GM17 and GM18 leather gas masks with exhaust valves after the war. The team developed guidelines and new protective equipment for military animals, especially horses, dogs and pigeons. I think it's safe to say that the two masks in post 15 are not German military issue masks. Arie Klarenbeek (1888 - 1972) and a small team of fellow researchers at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine conducted secret tests to find ways of protecting humans and animals from mustard gas. The aim was to protect both people and animals, feed, water and food from the weaponised gases. These efforts were based on a One Health approach. Experts, including veterinarians, were called in to help develop defensive tools and measures. In the wake of this gas war, military authorities - even in the 'neutral' Netherlands - started working to defend themselves against such weapons. Eighth rest note12/14/2023 ![]() Half note (minim in British English): also an oval, drawn with a slightly thinner line, and has a stem.In many compositions today, this is the longest note value used. Whole note (semibreve in British English): this thick, unfilled oval shape has no stem.See Example 2 for a visual of each note value. Open Music Theory privileges the North American names for note values, but it’s worth being familiar with the British names as well (indicated in parentheses below). Adding a flag (i.e., quarter to eighth or eighth to sixteenth).Filling in a notehead (i.e., half to quarter). ![]() Adding a stem to a note (i.e., whole to half).Flags are only added to the stems of filled noteheads.Īdditionally, there are three ways to decrease a note’s value by half:.Unfilled noteheads may or may not have a stem, but filled noteheads always have stems.Noteheads can be filled in (black) or unfilled (white) quarter notes and shorter durations are filled in.Several additional aspects of Example 2 should be noted: The relative relationships between common note values. Just as a whole pizza divides into two halves, four quarters, eight eighths, etc., a whole note divides into two half notes, four quarter notes, eight eighth notes, and so on. ![]() Each note value can be divided into two smaller values, as seen in Example 2. Note values are hierarchical in other words, their lengths are defined relative to one another. There are many common note values in Western musical notation. Noteheads with stems, beams and flags labeled. As you’ll recall in the chapter titled Notation of Notes, Clefs, and Ledger Lines, notes may contain several different components, as seen in Example 1: Example 1. Note Valuesīroadly speaking, rhythm refers to the duration of musical sounds and rests in time. The next several chapters will focus on the temporal facets of rhythm and meter, starting in this chapter with the basic note and rest values in this notation system. Music is a temporal art-in other words, time is one of its components-so organizing time is essential for Western musical notation.
