![]() ![]() It is not the most sought-after action for a shotgun, it’s true. In 1824, the first bolt action rifle appeared on the scene, but it was only a century or so before that mechanism was used to cycle shotgun shells. The bolt action itself was already in the market for years, but it was being used as a rifle system more than anything else. We’ll talk more about Mossberg later on in this article because the company he founded in 1919 has a place of honor among gun manufacturers by and large, and among shotgun manufacturers in particular. In 1933, Mossberg designed, invented, and subsequently released the first prototype bolt action shotgun. Join me now as we journey to the 1930s – the time of the Great Depression, Dust Bowl farmers, and celebrated engineer and firearms manufacturer Oscar Mossberg. What’s the story behind bolt action shotguns? Bolt Action ShotgunsĪs mentioned, this design came after the time of the mythological Old West. I mean come on: dressing up in a 19th-century getup and competing in ‘Fastest Gun in the West’ activities? Frontier fun!Īlright, so let’s get into it. This is in complete contrast to viewing firearms as nothing but purveyors of evil and woe, and a constant point of national controversy. They emphasize the use of firearms within the context of a friendly and non-deadly sport. On a personal level, I feel these competitions are awesome. Lever and pump shotguns are usually the ones that are used. Incidentally, bolt action shotguns would not be allowed in cowboy action shooting competitions, since the rules of the event only permit use of weapons that are compatible with the era. More people than ever are getting into the spirit of shooting for pleasure. With the proliferation of various competitions (3-gun and cowboy action shooting come to mind), shotguns are back in the game big time – even if it is your contention that they weren’t there beforehand. I can see why shotguns have taken a back seat to the host of AR-style rifles which have been dominating the scene (yes, I know I’m exaggerating a bit). It’s a great weapon system, it is adaptive and versatile, and it serves its purpose. Obviously, I dig it too, and have written about it extensively. This post will explore the disappearing niche of bolt action shotguns, often considered to be a classic slice of 20th century Americana.įor some decades now, it seems we’ve all been enamored with the ever-expanding universe of the AR platform and all its derivatives. For nearly 150 years, shotguns have held a special place in the hearts of many shooters and hunters all over the world, and I feel this is doubly true for Americans. Others say that its popularity never waned, so a “comeback” is hardly necessary. Some are saying that the shotgun is making a comeback in recent years. ![]()

![]() ![]() Arc welding is the oldest welding of the three main methods. The flux coating provides the shielding gas that protects the material from contamination. The melted metals are then fused, with some filling added to help with the fused area’s integrity. The heated-up metals melt, and the electrode forms an electric arc. In Arc welding, two metals to be fused are heated up by passing electricity through a rode coated with flux. Among the two, a gas MIG is usually less expensive despite its complications with an additional gas source. In gas MIG welding, a gas source such as a gas cylinder produces a shielding gas, which helps avoid the welding surface’s oxidation.Ī gas-less MIG welding uses a flux core to produce the shielding effect. The two main types of MIG welding are gas and gas-less. The wire acts as an electrode when passing through the machine.Īdditionally, an external gas source is required for shielding the material from atmospheric gases. MIG welding works by feeding wire into the machine, which gets heated up and melts at the welding surface. We will be focusing on these two welding methods in this article, along with a MIG welding vs Arc welding comparison based on several factors. Arc welding options are often confusing for first-time buyers because of their similarities. It is also the most sophisticated of the three. Of these, TIG welding requires the most amount of training and experience. ![]() The three most common welding methods are ![]() With so many people trying their hands at welding, it is essential to know what to expect for professional or household purposes.īuying your first welder machine can be a daunting task if you don’t know what to look for. ![]() ![]() Lauryn Hill at a concert in a Roman Amphitheatre in Pula, Croatia.

The findings will be implemented in future editions of the Gigafida corpus, but are relevant to any project that aims at facilitating a wider use of reference corpora and corpus-based resources. The evaluation also highlighted some relevant user habits, such as not taking the time to learn systematically about the tool before they start using it. In the user feedback, the simplicity of search options and the interface clarity are highlighted as the main advantages, while for the future development, advanced visualizations of corpus data and improved search of word-phrases are suggested. the FidaPLUS corpus within the ASP32 concordancer (rated with 3.67).

I currently have an article or as I call it "interview" schema as follows: var InterviewSchema = new mongoose.Schema() Models.js const mongoose = require('mongoose') Ĭonst Post = mongoose.model('Post', PostSchema, 'posts') Ĭonst User = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema, 'users') Ĭontrollers.js require('./model/db') // DB configĬonst models = require('.I would like to add commenting functionality to a blog web app. However, the other way around works (I'm able to retrieve the user by a Post instance). The array of stages you pass to the aggregate () function is called an aggregation pipeline. The first stage feeds documents into the second stage, and so on, so you can compose transformations using stages. You can use this operator with methods like update (), findAndModify (), etc., according to your requirement. And if you want to add each item of the value separately, then you can use each modifier with push operator. The client just tries to keep the connection always open. The client just connects to the server and the latter pushes data over this connection when needed. I'm now trying to populate the user's posts, but mongoose returns an empty array. A stage is an object description of how MongoDB should transform any document coming into the stage. If the value of the push operator is an array, then this operator will append the whole array as a single element. A WebSocket connection is a lightweight means of pushing data. In my controllers.js methods I'm creating a user and a post instance (bound to the newly created user). If you are passing in an object the strings in your expression will not be altered. UserSchema has a ref to its own Posts, while PostSchema has a ref to its author. If you are passing in a string Mongoose will prepend if the specified field doesnt start. By the end of the article, you should be able to use Mongoose without problems. In this article, well go through: The basics of using Mongoose.

It is rumoured that he paid his fine by cheque and opened a restaurant in the city a few weeks later.Vancleave, located in west-central Jackson County, Mississippi, is a small community which developed in the early to mid-19 th Century, on Bluff Creek, a small tributary of the Pascagoula River, several miles north of the Mexican Gulf. The story goes that our friend was sacked, taken to court and fined. As he went throgh the gate with his front wheels nearly off the ground, the quick witted gate-keeper thought "Aye-up". ![]() Eventually, he must have had a 'death wish' because one day he near filled the boot with copper ingots. I don't know how long ths went on for, but I believe it was a considerable time. Our friend started taking out about ten bars per day hidden in the compartment, each bar weighing about 20-25lbs. Well, on the Morris Oxford, there was a 'secret' compartment that held the spare tyre and this was underneath the car, so if anyone opened the boot, there was nothing to see. (I should mention that when you started work for IMI, you had to sign a form to agree to be searched if you were suspected of stealing) Nobody really knows how long this went on, but eventually, our intrepid friend bought himself a Morris Oxford, not a new one, but one that was old enough not to draw any attention. Every night he would ride out the main gate on his push-bike with an ingot of pure copper in his saddle bag with a " G'night George" to the gatekeeper. A story that I believe to be true did the rounds about a labourer who worked in the smelting plant. This was then punched and 'deep drawn' into all different sizes of cartridge cases and then 'loaded' to become shells. the bars of brass then went to the rolling mills and rolled into sheet brass. On the munitions side, Copper ingots were brought in from outside then alloyed into brass in the smelter. There were trucks and cars that were unregistered because they never left the site and each department had at least one push-bike to get around on. There was A factory, B factory, C factory,D factory, Central workshops, massive canteens, the loading field, a fully functioning hospital and a lot more that I can no longer remember or never got to see. The size of IMI had to be experienced to be believed. The decimal coins were also made at IMI or rather 'Blanked' at IMI and then sent to the mint in South Wales to be 'Struck'. Ely Kynoch was a sub-division of IMI as was Amal carburettors and "Lightning" zips. As well as Brandauers, I also worked as a Toolmaker for Concentric Controls near Salford Park and I.M.I (Imperial Metals Industries). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you’re doing a lot of image searches, you’ll want to download the Chrome browser for your iPhone.Reverse image search is one of the most well-known and easiest digital investigative techniques, with two-click functionality of choosing “Search Google for image” in many web browsers. Not all versions of IOS will work with this method. Then tap the camera icon on the right side of the Safari browser, and upload an image from your photos. You’ll have to go to, then tap the ‘Aa’ button near the website address or URL (usually at at the top left of the Safari browser, but maybe along the bottom if you’re using a large format phone). It’s possible to do a Google Image Search on Apple’s Safari web browser directly, but there are hoops to jump through. How to do a reverse Google Image Search on iPhone (Safari)ĭoing a reverse image search on an iPhone isn’t quite as simple as on an Android phone, but it’s not too tricky. Here we will lay out some of the more common ways you can do a reverse image search quickly and easily. How do I reverse Google image search?ĭoing a reverse google image search is a different process depending on which phone or device you are attempting the search on, which web browser you are using and perhaps even which operating system software you have. You can also see how much traction your new photo is getting and by who it’s being retweeted, re-posted, and shown off. ![]() If you run a website or sell or make things and post images online, you can keep tabs on anyone who might be trying to use those images for themselves or pretend to have made those items. A reverse image search lets you see which websites are showing those images and make decisions accordingly. A Reverse Google Image Search is also great for finding fake pictures or images that have been altered to remove or hide something, or see if another website is using a photo you took in a way you’re not happy about. Reverse image searches can be handy for a number of reasons: If you’re trying to find out who makes or sells a specific product and you only have an image with no name (maybe you snapped a photo of a speaker you saw in a store window, or an outfit you spotted on your commute), it’s a great way to solve the problem. Let’s have a look at how the Reverse Google Image Search process works and talk a little about why it’s a really useful tool when browsing the internet. These days, a “reverse image search” is now possible and even pretty easy. While it’s easy to take a name, phrase, or even a complete sentence and type it into Google to see what you can learn, the same hasn’t always true for photos. ![]() |
