![]() Leaking transmission as evidenced by red transmission fluid puddles. Check engine light comes on intermittently. Clunky operation from park to reverse, park to drive, drive to reverse, etc. On long drives the transmission over heats (on the way to California) and leaks fluid. I know my driving habits are fairly consistent but there are times they aren't. Flashing gear range selector light D4 or D5 light. Personally, I don't see how that can guarantee consistent, smooth shifting when there are so many variables to take into consideration, even with one driver using the Ody all the time. ![]() I only remember 2-3 reports of that here. The only failures reported here of 05+ transmissions seemed to happen almost immediately, usually within 500 miles. Starting in 07, a completely redesigned transmission was introduced. Add to the problem, the software is written so it learns the driving habit of the user. 14 Odyssey 6-cyl 40,000 miles A D V E R T I S E M E N T S 2008 Honda Odyssey with vcm. It is speculated that that transmission was used through 06. The recent software updates are probably designed to reduce the harsh shifting. Average repair cost is 7,000 at 43,500 miles. 2008 Honda Odyssey transmission problems with 22 complaints from Odyssey owners. Average repair cost is 7,000 at 43,500 miles. The catch is (no pun intended), shifting must be very precise, otherwise, you get jerky shifting. The 2018 Honda Odyssey has 4 problems reported for transmission failure. The engagements are very positive with no slippage and help maintain a steady RPM in the engine - something that is good for gas mileage in the heavier cars like an Ody. I'm not sure what gears are used at that speed but as I understand the the 9-speed, it has "dog clutches." Unlike friction plate clutches which tend to shift fairly smooth because they slip a little, dog clutches are two gears that mesh together through "dogs" on the side of the gears. In this case, setting the angle to 360 degrees will ensure you have the correct responsiveness in your steering. Formula 1 cars, for example, will use 360 degrees of overall rotation (180 degrees left or right from center) so if you leave the angle set to 1080 then it will require a lot of turning of the wheel in order to achieve a harder turn. This sets the wheel's overall response angle within the limits defined by the setting. It's generally recommended to set this at a level that allows for subtle cues rather than overwhelming the overall experience. If you do let go and the wheel starts oscillating, then pause the game title first before attempting to take hold of the wheel in order to prevent injury.Īdjusts the gain for the vibrotactile effects sent to the wheel in titles that utilize Trueforce. Our recommendation is to make sure you keep hold of the wheel at all times when in use. ![]() However, in some titles you will notice that if you let go of the wheel while on a straight it will quickly start oscillating left and right. Ideally, you should set the dampener as low as possible in order to get the most response from the wheel. Adding Dampener will help alleviate this and can also help to recreate the sensations you get in a real car where all of the components that contribute to the feeling you get from the steering wheel (tires, suspension, and so on). The Auto setting will usually create the most ideal experience by attempting to match the filter to the rate at which the game title updates its force feedback.Ī direct drive wheel can be incredibly responsive which might result in some titles feeling like the wheel is moving too rapidly in response to in-game effects. High values will produce a smoother feeling from the wheel, whereas lower values will create a more "raw" experience this is all about personal preference. This allows you to adjust a filter setting that can help reduce unwanted effects from the game titles. The compatibility mode can be adjusted from the OLED settings screen of the wheel and remember to make sure you have chosen your mode before starting a title. For titles in this list that require manual setup, regardless of whether you're in G923 or PRO mode, we've included an image of their assignments screen so that you can see how they should be configured. In the vast majority of cases, if a title supports the Logitech G29, G920, or G923, then the PRO Wheel will also work - some initial setup may just be required. There are additional titles that the wheel works with that aren't listed here, but they haven't been specifically tested. ![]() It's usually still possible to use the wheel in PRO mode for those titles by manually configuring the controls in the title's options. ![]() Therefore, it may be easier to switch the PRO Wheel to the G923 compatibility mode to facilitate setup for those titles. Feel free to experiment with your own settings to personalize the wheel to your preference.Įspecially on computers, some titles have preset configurations for wheels that make getting started even easier, including ensuring that onscreen button prompts match those of the wheel you're using. These settings all assume that your wheel is set to 11Nm of strength - you can set the dampener settings lower if you're running the wheel at a lower strength. Where relevant, we've included the wheel's settings display, as well as in-game settings.

What is it?” These questions, and the others on the activity page, help kids gain the smarts needed to infer and determine theme. To support students, use the Pick a Question organizer to make the exercise more like a game, sending them to hunt for clues to a question you pose. Then, have students write the theme in a full sentence on a sticky note, along with one sentence explaining why they chose that theme. That’s why I love to introduce theme by using short movie clips (Pixar shorts are terrific). Activity to Try: Pick a Questionĭownload the Pick-a-Question Activity PDFįinding theme can be tough because it requires so much inferential thinking across a text. ![]() Often, we have charts displayed with the phrases that help introduce evidence, but they are also right on the page for the students who need immediate access to them. The final step is to “lift a line” from the text (or a phrase) that adds support to their thinking. Students read the text a second time, highlighting and annotating if possible, or simply jotting their ideas in the thinking bubbles. Using a short piece of text, have students read through it once, and then fill in the “observation from the text” section. Choose a skill you want readers to practice-for example, describe the character, event, setting, or theme. This “Back Up Your Thinking” organizer is a great start for getting students to share their thinking rather than merely answering questions. Activity to Try: Back Up Your Thinkingĭownload the “Back Up Your Thinking” Activity PDF You can also check out the FB Live on teaching evidence-based writing. Of course, always model these organizers or co-construct before asking students to do them independently! And always use your favorite and fabulous books! Here, I share four of my favorite activities for citing textual evidence-two for fiction and two for nonfiction. I’ve found that as students gain confidence, having them jot their thinking on organizers helps a lot. Ask students to “cite evidence from the text” and you often see a look of desperation on their faces. ![]() It can be hard and intimidating for readers to back up their ideas and think about a book with specific quotes and passages from the text. ![]() Funeral service noon Saturday at Beaty Funeral Home, Winnsboro.

For example, the "Important info" tag lets me quickly and easily find important notes across all of my notebooks. You can tag notes by whatever makes sense to you, like location, importance, or note type. TagsĬategories are great, but one more layer of organization ties it all together. You can create new notes from within this page, from the main dashboard, or you can reassign notes from other notebooks if needed. Now, whenever you label a note with your new notebook's title, it'll appear here. Change the filter so that it only displays notes showing the category you just created. Next, click the filter dropdown that says Notebook: new category. Click Properties > Notebook, and then click the + icon to add a new Notebook label to match. Then click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the linked database. To customize your new notebook, change the title to whatever you'd like (for example, "Fitness" or "Lecture notes"). Within that database, each note is categorized into a notebook using the dropdown in the Notebook property. My Notion notes system is based on one main database (titled "notebook-database"). Open my Notion note-taking template, and follow along to see how it works. ![]() ![]() In the end, it helps me feel free to brain dump first and get organized later. Or, if I decide a note belongs in another notebook, all I need to do is switch the labels. If I have a quick idea, I can jot it down on the scratchpad and organize it later. And I leaned into that mix when creating my Notion note-taking system. Notion is an incredible mix of freedom and organization. Here, I'll share my Notion notes template-my personal Evernote alternative-so you can make it work for you. This note-taking system does everything I loved Evernote for: I can create quick notes, add notes from my browser, access all my notebooks from the sidebar, and create action items from within notes. ![]() If the system does not accept the single-word hostname you input, use “kali” as the default.
![]() My brother,Erwin Miller of Worcester, Ma. I am writing from Germany where I have been living for many years. Any help in valuing these 2 books would be greatly appreciated. The spine is still there except for the fabric. The Reader is in fair condition but the spine has the fabric that covered it is gone. There are a couple places where my mom signed her name and it is autographed. ![]() The workbook was actually used by my mom as a kid but most of the writing is in pencil. The other one is a hardback called “Child’s Bible Reader” “Illustrated” It was copyrighted in 1950 and was published by The Southwestern Company in Nashville, Tenn. I have no clue if it is of any monetary value. It has a copyright of 1943 and was published by Benton Review Publishing Co., Inc. The first one is a school workbook called “20th Century Workbook in Bible Study Old Testament”. I have several vintage books but at the moment I am only dealing with 2 of them. I do not know anything about old books except that some of them are very valuable. Please check your book’s value online at one of the following websites: abebooks, alibris, biblio, addall Due to the volume of comments, we are unable to continue to reply individually. You have completed a critical first step in the great book sort.Ĭonsider Reading Part II, where I have explained eight things that help determine antique books’ value. You’ll find that the “known” pile will be significantly smaller than the unknown pile, and that’s okay. Sort out titles that you recognize by authors you know or who are familiar. It doesn’t matter if the book is a first edition or a limited edition of “My Aunt Minnie’s Trip to Alaska” (fictitious title, here), unless the title has stood the test of time and could be considered a modern classic, it probably is not a collector’s item. Are these books you’ve heard of? Catcher in the Rye? For Whom the Bell Tolls? Cannery Row? To Kill a Mockingbird? Given the relative ease of publishing books in the late 1800s and early 1900s, a plethora of books were printed that are irrelevant today. Are you familiar with the titles and authors? ![]() Thus a secondary plastic sleeve may be necessary to protect the condition of a rare book going forward. Edge chipping and small tears need to be protected from getting worse. Collectors are also very conscious of the condition of these jackets. The presence of this paper wrapper can represent up to 95% of the value of a 20th century title. When you consider the fragile nature of paper dust jackets, it is not difficult to see how quickly they can be lost or damaged over the course of a century. This is the single most critical aspect (some would say ONLY aspect) of value that a 20th century book can possess. Do you see the existence of dust jackets around the covers? These are the eminently disposable paper wrappers that were universally found cladding books in the post-World War I era. Let’s consider a typical wall of books collected in the post-Industrial Revolution era (after 1840). If they weren’t collectors, but, say avid book readers, read on… 2. This information will go a long way towards understanding the overall potential of the collection. With this information in hand, an antique book appraiser will have an excellent basis from which to ascertain current market value. If your parents or grandparents were known collectors and have a listing of their library, chances are very good that they knew what information was important to document. Were your parents or grandparents who accumulated this library book collectors, or book readers? When faced with an avalanche of “old books,” where do you begin sorting the “wheat from the chaff” to ferret out valuable rarities? Here are the three questions you should answer before contacting a book appraiser or rare book auction house. It isn’t my intention to pontificate about current social trends, but the point is that we read fewer books these days and many people wonder what to do with bookshelves and boxes containing their parents’ or grandparents’ treasured libraries. Perhaps this is because we now have other things to do, like watch 500 channels of cable television, surf the internet, discover the great outdoors or participate in any number of other diversions that attract our attention. Let’s face it, our forebears read many more books than we do. However, it doesn’t always inspire the excitement or anticipation that I usually feel at the start of a great antique book hunt. I’m an antique book appraiser, so I hear this phrase a lot, maybe eight or ten times a week.

In Summer 2019, Nintendo also released a full fledged hardware revision of the console, which didn’t have the vulnerability either, codenamed Mariko (or V2). Those patched units started reaching customers’ hands around Summer of 2018. In response, Nintendo started manufacturing an updated hardware version which did not have the flaw, and that would later be nicknamed “patched V1”, per opposition to the original “unpatched” models. Because it was a hardware hack on the Console’s NVidia Tegra chip, It allowed to hack all Nintendo Switch consoles at the time, independently of their firmware revision. In 2018, a hardware hack for the Nintendo Switch was disclosed by hacker Kate Temkin. A short history of Nintendo Switch Hacks and Hardware Revisions Whether you can hack your console (and how easily) depends on which model you have, and it’s not necessary easy to say at a first glance. iPatched Erista, or Patched Erista), V2 (a.k.a. ![]() You can currently categorize the Nintendo Switch into 5 categories: Original V1 models (a.k.a. How to hack other Switch models (OLED, Lite, Patched V1, V2).How to hack an unpatched “V1” Erista Switch.Prices of modchips have gone down though, so if you’re good with a solder iron (or now someone who can do it for you), modchips are now a legit option on any Nintendo Switch. TL,DR: although it’s technically possible to hack all models of Nintendo Switch as of the time of this writing, if you’re trying to hack a “recently” purchased Switch (probably any model bought after 2018, really), the easiest way might be to resell it and buy an unpatched V1 Switch instead. I’ve tried to be as clear and accurate as possible, but as always feel free to let me know in the comments if anything’s inaccurate or simply wrong! In the guide below I’m trying to clarify what’s doable and what’s not. ![]() More and more people are buying a Nintendo Switch only to realize they cannot easily hack it in 2023. If you buy through them, you don’t pay anything extra but I get a small commission. One fact remains though: original, unpatched V1 models remain the easiest Switch consoles to hack.ĭisclaimer: the eBay/Amazon links in this article are affiliate links.

![]() So we can conclude the range is `(-oo,0]uu(oo,0)`. We have `f(-2) = 0/(-5) = 0.`īetween `x=-2` and `x=3`, `(x^2-9)` gets closer to `0`, so `f(x)` will go to `-oo` as it gets near `x=3`.įor `x>3`, when `x` is just bigger than `3`, the value of the bottom is just over `0`, so `f(x)` will be a very large positive number.įor very large `x`, the top is large, but the bottom will be much larger, so overall, the function value will be very small. As `x` increases value from `-2`, the top will also increase (out to infinity in both cases).ĭenominator: We break this up into four portions: To work out the range, we consider top and bottom of the fraction separately. So the domain for this case is `x >= -2, x != 3`, which we can write as `[-2,3)uu(3,oo)`. (Usually we have to avoid 0 on the bottom of a fraction, or negative values under the square root sign). In general, we determine the domain of each function by looking for those values of the independent variable (usually x) which we are allowed to use. For a more advanced discussion, see also How to draw y^2 = x − 2. We saw how to draw similar graphs in section 4, Graph of a Function.This indicates that the domain "starts" at this point. The enclosed (colored-in) circle on the point `(-4, 0)`.This will make the number under the square root positive. The only ones that "work" and give us an answer are the ones greater than or equal to ` −4`. To see why, try out some numbers less than `−4` (like ` −5` or ` −10`) and some more than `−4` (like ` −2` or `8`) in your calculator. The domain of this function is `x ≥ −4`, since x cannot be less than ` −4`. ![]() Need a graphing calculator? Read our review here: |
