And there are so many pronunciations of Koch to choose from. Perhaps you could chalk up the app’s confusion to the fact that one of those brothers, David Koch, now has his name affixed to two other destinations on the map, an auditorium (formerly the New York State Theatre) at Lincoln Center and the plaza in front of the Metropolitan Museum. It pronounced Koch “coke,” as in the Koch brothers, Charles and David, the industrialists and underwriters of right-wing causes-rather than “kotch,” as in the Mayor. But only Apple Maps, as the ramp approached, dared say its name-and got it wrong. Evidently, they disapproved of going down Lexington Avenue-“Turn left,” “Turn left,” “Turn left,” each device repeated-and all had the same route in mind, toward the You-Know-What Bridge. The other day, a traffic-jam aficionado, curious to see how various nav apps would direct a driver who wanted to go from the East Side of Manhattan to Long Island City, Queens, in the shortest amount of time, punched a destination into a couple of iPhones and the dashboard system simultaneously, and let them compete for the driver’s attention. Cuomo doesn’t have a bridge, or a tunnel, yet.) The new name didn’t really stick.īut navigation systems are deferential to the authorities algorithms are squares. (Breslin, for what it’s worth, didn’t like Koch. The bridge already had a perfectly good name, and a no-baloney alias as well: the Fifty-ninth Street Bridge, perhaps best blurted in the voice of the late columnist Jimmy Breslin. The response may not have had much to do with their feelings for Koch. ![]() ![]() Most New Yorkers, according to one poll, didn’t much like it when, in 2011, the city renamed the Queensboro Bridge for former Mayor Ed Koch.

![]() We of course had no way of knowing how much every box and everything weighs so we took pretty much everything out of both, got rid of any bigger heavier items like our fridge and freezer which was half of the reason we wanted to have our stuff moved, so we could like keep our stuff, and mixed them evenly between the 2. We had 3 units and they said they had already loaded the lightest one on their truck so they won't leave that one and we would have to figure it out with the other 2. We loaded up our units and had them ready to go on pick up day and they came to get them and then said one of them was too heavy so we would have to get another unit or move stuff from one to another. They delivered them fairly promptly and we had to purchase brand new locks for them that were ours to put on and protect our stuff. We chose then because they claimed to be the cheapest and fastest option compared to quotes from Pods and other such moving companies. We chose pack rats to move our stuff from California to Tennessee. I have been sleeping on an air mattress and living out of an ice chest for 2 weeks and these people have never called me back on anything! I don't understand how they cannot have a plan when so many people are affected. no matter if I talk to a representative or a manager. It has been 2 weeks! and every time I call I get the same response. I called back at 3 pm and was told, "oh no, the fork lift is down and we do not have an update". I called on Monday and was told, "oh yes, you are on schedule for delivery today and the driver will contact you an hour before". i call them the next day and they told me that I was rescheduled for Monday the 24th. I was due to have my pod delivered on May 20th, I call on the 20th to verify my move and was told, "oh yes, you are on schedule for delivery today and the driver will contact you an hour before". ![]() I had 1-800-PACK-RAT move me from San Diego, CA to San Antonio. ![]() No idea how much longer it’ll take them to deliver. The family is suffering and stressed out. They keep telling me they’re sorry but it happens. I call but there’s no urgency in their response. I called and they agreed and revised the date by adding an additional 8 days to the delivery time. 7days before it shipped, I calculated it was impossible for my container to arrive on time (11hrs driving limit per day which is approximately 600-650 miles and a day for transfer to local service for delivery). Each time they said it’s on schedule and not to worry even though no one checked on it. I had been calling asking why it had not moved (5 times) prior to it shipping. Which is one day from the time they were supposed to deliver it. They waited 19 days from the time they picked it up to begin to ship it. The problem was once they had my container and were supposed to transport it. They even dropped off the container and provided good communications until after they picked it up. I had no problems ordering for a cross country move with them. And only the dispatch manager knows what’s going on so make sure you ask for them if you want to know where your stuff is. They will not tell you with any accuracy or honesty. Do not use Pack Rat unless you want to get screwed and want a headache.*Make sure you put an Apple tag or another geo location tracker with your stuff so you know where it is. Terrible company and would not recommend to my worst enemy. With a drop off/pick up windows from 8-10pm, if anything happens or you need to contact them after they close their phone lines, you're screwed and on your own. They're also on east coast time and close at 10pm. ![]() Complete nightmare and worse resolution.Īlso, even though they claim to offer 24/7 customer service min-fri, that's a lie. They now claim they are going to "try" to squeeze me in today or tomorrow. Turns out the driver was over hours yesterday so they didn't come nor did they give a courtesy call to inform me. I'm trying to find out a way to start charging them for storing their pod at my house now.Īfter spending an hour and fifty minutes on hold, finally got through to someone. We currently have to pay for parking our cars elsewhere and then hoof it back to our complex. I confirmed with them 4 separate occasions that the driver would be here on the 6th to pick up the empty pod so we could free up the driveway and unblock our single car garage. Alway late to pick up and late to driver. We've had nothing but problems with this company every step of the way. Not very upfront with the an accurate final cost. They sound good and have better prices up front but all their hidden fees add up quick. Wish I could rate them lower than 1 star. ![]() And we use that information and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x. How to find area for isosceles triangle Height of an isosceles triangle can be computed if the lengths of the equal sides and the base are known. So this is x over two and this is x over two. The vertex angle of a right-angled isosceles triangle is 90 0, and the base angles are 45 0. Two congruent right triangles and so it also splits this base into two. So the key of realization here is isosceles triangle, the altitudes splits it into So this length right over here, that's going to be five and indeed, five squared plus 12 squared, that's 25 plus 144 is 169, 13 squared. This distance right here, the whole thing, the whole thing is So x is equal to the principle root of 100 which is equal to positive 10. But since we're dealing with distances, we know that we want the This purely mathematically and say, x could be Is equal to 25 times four is equal to 100. We can multiply both sides by four to isolate the x squared. So subtracting 144 from both sides and what do we get? On the left hand side, we have x squared over four is equal to 169 minus 144. That's just x squared over two squared plus 144 144 is equal to 13 squared is 169. This is just the Pythagorean Theorem now. We can write that x over two squared plus the other side plus 12 squared is going to be equal to Step 3: Finally, the area and the perimeter of the isosceles triangle will be displayed in the output field. Step 2: Now click the button Solve to get the area and perimeter. We can say that x over two squared that's the base right over here this side right over here. The procedure to use the isosceles triangle calculator is as follows: Step 1: Enter the base value and one of the side value in the input field. Let's use the Pythagorean Theorem on this right triangle on the right hand side. And so now we can use that information and the fact and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x. So this is going to be x over two and this is going to be x over two. So they're both going to have 13 they're going to have one side that's 13, one side that is 12 and so this and this side are going to be the same. And since you have twoĪngles that are the same and you have a side between them that is the same this altitude of 12 is on both triangles, we know that both of these So that is going to be the same as that right over there. The third side which is unequal is sometimes known as the base of the triangle. Because it's an isosceles triangle, this 90 degrees is the The two sides that are opposite the two equal base angles are equal in length. Is an isosceles triangle, we're going to have twoĪngles that are the same. Well the key realization to solve this is to realize that thisĪltitude that they dropped, this is going to form a right angle here and a right angle here and notice, both of these triangles, because this whole thing Height of an isosceles triangle can be computed if the lengths of the equal sides and the base are known.To find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.
![]() Burroughs dropped the charges against Martin.

His testimony yesterday came as a result of a plea bargain agreement on those charges.ĭuring three hours of testimony, Earman said a key man behind the murders was Joseph N. He has pleaded guilty to a related charge of conspiring to murder the couple and other charges and is to be sentenced June 27. His credibility as a witness is expected to be a key issue in the case, which will resume this afternoon.Įarman cannot be retried on the murder charges despite his testimony yesterday because of the Constitutional protection against double jeopardy. Under cross-examination, Earman conceded that he had lied frequently to police and others about the case. If he killed the couple he could have all of the $15,000 he was offered as the total price of setting up the murders. It was, Earman said, something of a business decision. Throughout his afternoon of testimony in Arlington General District Court, the tanned, blond Earman, a former tennis instructor, was confident, and coldly detached about his decision to murder the couple. He then returned a second time to make it appear the murders had occurred during a robbery, an action he said was designed to confuse police. The first time he returned, Earman said he emptied his pistol's chambers directly into the couple's heads, fearful that his first shots had not killed them. 32 caliber revolver point blank into the couple's heads. In a calm, matter-of-fact voice, Earman, 36, retraced the May 1977 shootings and described his return to the garage where he had fired a.

Richard Lee Earman, acquitted two years ago of the execution-style murders of a young Arlington couple, told a Virginia judge yesterday that he calmly shot the couple to death for the promise of $15,000. ![]() These moths, found all over the world, might mate in your home and lay eggs in, on, or near your bedding so the larvae can have access to fibers as soon as they hatch. Likewise, clothes moths are also attracted to animal fibers - only they can fly. If your bedding includes silk, cotton, or wool fibers, it may be an attractive breeding ground for carpet beetles. They may also feed on plant materials, including books, grains, spices, and pet foods. Bed bugs can sense a sleeping human by sensing the CO2 they exhale, while fleas can detect humans’ body heat, movements, and vibrations caused by breathing.Ĭarpet beetles, though not harmful to humans directly, are attracted to animal fibers, such as skin cells, silk, hair, feathers, and fur. Clothes moth larvae are particularly drawn to bed sheets and clothing.īed worms can land in your bed in one of two ways: either eggs were laid in or on the bed by a mature parasite, or the worms were carried to the bed by a human or animal previously exposed to the worms or their eggs.įleas and bed bugs are attracted to beds because host humans spend so much time there. Carpet beetle larvae are known to wreak havoc on carpets, fabric, books, and other natural fibers in homes and museums. Parasitic worms cannot survive for long outside a host body, so you are far more likely to find dead, rolled-up worms in your bed than live worms.įiber-loving pests like carpet beetles and clothes moth larvae are less dangerous to humans, but more dangerous to your property. Children are at higher risk of contracting a parasitic infection than adults. Pinworms, roundworms, and hookworms can cause itching and irritation to skin, but rarely fully infect adult human hosts. ![]() If you see small worm-like larvae in your bed, be sure to call a pest control professional for treatment before they become blood-sucking, disease-carrying parasites. Real trouble tends to start when parasitic larvae - such as bed bug and flea larvae - mature enough to start biting hosts in bed. The greatest risks for most species of bed worms are lack of sleep and physical discomfort. However, the presence of worms in a bed should make anyone uncomfortable. ![]() Bed worms do not spread diseases themselves. ![]() The electrifying pace Hough injects into the codas of No 1 and the Concert Fantasia are suitably exciting, though these are nothing compared to the tumultuous final pages of No 2 (a tremendous performance).

Neither protagonist is anxious to linger sentimentally along the way and Gergiev, sometimes routine in concerto recordings, is here fiercely energised – giving as good as he gets, as it were, from his soloist – to the point after the orchestral tutti at 10'55" that you wonder how Matsuev is going to match him. Listening to Matsuev and Gergiev is the aural equivalent of watching Federer and Nadal, friends off the tennis court but ultra-competitive on it, each determined to outdo the other with supreme athleticism and an arsenal of exquisite passing shots.Īfter a conventional enough introduction, you start to notice deft little touches, such as the weight Matsuev gives to his attack at the top of the keyboard or the darting semiquaver runs at 5'23", which he plays leggiero and with no pedal. There have been many very great accounts of it – Horowitz / Szell, Argerich / Abbado, Gilels / Mehta among them – but I doubt if you will ever hear it more viscerally thrilling and sumptuously engineered than here.

The colorwork technique requires that you know how to do both the Continental and English knitting methods and definitely takes some getting used to. The ribbing is done in an optional half twisted rib. Collar and armhole ribbing is added by picking up the stitches. The panels are knitted flat and then seamed at the end.

If you want two stitches on either side, then you’ll add four more cast on stitches. To do so, make sure to add stitches to your cast on. On the bottom, I like to do just two knit rows and on either side I do two knit stitches. I also like adding a Garter Stitch border to all sides.

This is the selection we advise all of our clients looking for the smoothest ride. Option 1: Luxury Spring – True luxury with maximum spring travel and a supple ride. The only way to accomplish this feat is to engineer and produce our own application specific springs, which we’ve done with world renown Hyperco springs (supplier to Formula One, Indy Car, NASCAR) in two distinctly different options. By designing a custom spring that does not require the top adaptor, we regain that space which would otherwise limit valuable rear spring travel. This allows our coilover springs to not depend on any top adaptor that coilover kits typically require. The bottom of the spring is a 65mm standard coilover size allowing our height adjustable perch, however the top of the spring retains a factory Tesla shape. Our rear springs are custom engineered in a Tesla specific shape that allows for more spring travel than traditional coilover springs. TRUE CUSTOM ENGINEERED SPRINGS BY UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE X HYPERCO – TWO OPTIONS:Īs another first, we’ve engineered true one-off custom springs for these coilovers. Unplugged Performance has a history of being the pioneer of suspension tuning for Tesla and our suspension upgrades are used on multiple world record holding race builds as well as on thousands of daily driven Teslas. This and all Unplugged Performance suspension are created by a dream-team of top motorsports suspension engineers to Unplugged Performance specs. Meanwhile, as the coilovers are turned up firmer, the car becomes a highly precise canyon carver and track animal as shown in the video below! When the coilovers are set to soft, the ride is significantly softer and more comfortable than the factory springs and shocks. A quick setting adjustment truly changes the nature of how the car drives in a way that is immediately felt. Note: It just so happens that we still ran a blistering 2:01 lap time at Buttonwillow Raceway on the same set of coilovers when turned up to full firm setting!Īs with all Unplugged Performance coilovers, there is a wide spectrum of adjustment for both height and damping is engineered to satisfy street and track uses. The end result is that the Tesla Model Y and Model Y Performance are now capable of the ride quality comparable to that of other similarly priced sporty luxury vehicles. The Model Y should enjoy a more luxurious smooth driving feel for daily use and so we set out to make the most comfortable ride possible with these fully adjustable coilovers. We promptly disassembled the car and studied the factory spring rates and shock dyno data to create our ideal solution. Upon getting our Tesla Model Y in March of 2020 we immediately found that it is a surprisingly firm ride. |
