![]() The ellipse itself is also used in calculating the movements of the planets (see our orbital velocity calculator). ![]() It's usually used in medicine, in order to estimate the volume of different organs, such as: ![]() Visual in the figure below: You need two measurements: the height of the cylinder and the diameter of its base. Why do we need the ellipsoid volume? □ This shape is pretty common in nature. The volume formula for a cylinder is height x x (diameter / 2)2, where (diameter / 2) is the radius of the base (d 2 x r), so another way to write it is height x x radius2.
![]() ![]() So basically, you hold the rubber on/off button on the right side of the battery pack for a few seconds and then press the on/off button on the display panel for a second to get the bike rideable. The only downside in my mind is that the pack has to be switched on independently of the main display. While the pack itself does take up most of the space in the triangular section of the frame (thereby displacing a bottle cage mount) it’s similar to what I see on other models in this price range. To help them perform best, I recommend storing in a cool dry environment between uses and maintaining a charge level between 20% and 80% so as not to stress the cells. The cells inside are light weight, 18650 sized, energy dense Lithium-ion much like you’d find in an electric car. Many newer electric bikes run 48 volt systems because electricity is transferred more efficiently at higher voltage and the motor is also able to reach higher torque and power output. I like that it’s designed to lock to the frame with a key for security but that it can be charged on or off (which also makes the bike lighter for transport). It’s well positioned on the downtube, keeping weight low and centered, and has some matching stickers to blend in with the frame a bit. Powering the Sumo is a 48 volt 8.7 amp hour battery pack reminiscent of other 2015 IZIP models. It also lacks shift detection which means the sprockets and chain take a bit more abuse if you aren’t proactive in how you shift but the chain is extra strong and rust proof to help reduce abrasion. The control system on the Sumo is measuring your rear wheel speed, pedal cadence and pedal torque to deliver responsive motor output and it feels good but not quite as quick as the Bosch or Impulse system. It turns a 38 tooth chainring that includes an aluminum bash guard on the outer edge and a plastic guide on the inner edge (to reduce drops). The motor itself is small, well positioned (completely replacing the bottom bracket tubing) and fairly responsive. For that application it works very well and while I’m not sure what the peak output is from TranzX centerdrives, I’d guess it’s upwards of 500 watts which is excellent when combined with a lower gear. Basically, the throttle is meant to act as an override in lower levels of assist so you can “boost” up short hills without changing assist levels. It feels very zippy and torquey in throttle mode going from 0 to ~6 mph and is capable of hitting 20 mph if you pedal along. I tested one of the early versions of this TranzX motor in 2013 and wasn’t entirely impressed however, two years later in 2015 (at the time of this review) I found the motor to be quieter, smoother and generally more responsive. It strikes a balance between the more affordable low-end middrives that rely on cadence sensors only and can feel jerky and the more expensive high-end systems with shift detection and rapid drive cutoff. This ebike is made by Currie Technologies, a company that has been a leader in the US electric bike space since 1997 and offers one of the better warranties (lifetime frame, two year drive systems, one year battery) with a vast newtwork of dealers for testing before you buy.ĭriving the bike is a 350 watt geared centerdrive from TranzX. I love that the bike is available in two frame sizes even though both are high-step, the top tube is angled slightly and the frame is relatively light weight at ~52 lbs but still sturdy thanks to the triangular “diamond” tube configuration. The Kenda Juggernaut tires are 4 inches wide and can take 5 to 30 PSI for navigating soft or hard terrain respectively. ![]() If you like the fat bike style or plan to do trail, sand and snow riding then this is a capable option. While I do have a few basic gripes here including the lack of fender, rack and bottle cage bosses as well as the lack of a kickstand (like many fat tire bikes) and an early cutoff in throttle mode at ~6 mph, overall it’s an excellent ebike at an amazing price under $4k. It uses an efficient mid-drive motor system by TranzX for climbing and reaching greater speeds and distances efficiently. The E3 Sumo is one of the only fat electric bikes I’ve tested that is capable of performing above 20 mph as a US legal “speed pedalec”. This is the review for the 2015 E3 Sumo, in 2016 an updated model arrived with sturdy thru-axles, an optional $50 boost mode that acts like a throttle and a slightly altered paint job… it also costs a lot less! Check it out in the full review here. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ask for and take the advice of rangers and locals in the know.

And the cowboy actually dying from having the rope around his waist,” he says.ĭaniel doesn’t know how true those stories are, but it’s a good urban legend and a cautionary tale of what can happen if you try. “There are all kinds of stories about cowboys lassoing their rope around their horse and the horse, trying to pull them out. This could severely injure you because of the sheer force needed to remove you. Or get your friends to tie a rope around you and use their truck to pull you out. You can slowly lift your legs back up to the surface and gently paddle out, as demonstrated in this Australian Academy of Science video.ĭon’t take guidance from Hollywood and get a cowboy to lasso you with a rope and use their horse to pull you out.

He collected samples of quicksand in Iran and analysed what it was made from – mix of fine sand, saltwater and clay.ĭaniel then used beads and other items, including (bizarrely) a Tassie devil figurine with similar densities to humans, to check whether they would ‘drown’ in the quicksand he re-created in the lab. This was a question Dr Daniel Bonn, Professor of Physics at the University of Amsterdam, was determined to answer. Is this fear warranted? Can you really drown in quicksand? Even though it's pretty obvious she's sitting down in the muck, it's still. Some just have them up to their waists or less. Most vids don't even have the gals totally. ![]() And this particular scene shows what she can bring to quicksand fantasy. Perhaps the fear of quicksand engendered in many of us is compounded by a snake being used to pull Indiana Jones out of quicksand in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.Īlthough quicksand is no longer a go-to for films, fear around it remains.

The Loan Ranger: It was meant to be a warning shot. Political and economic stability is now more a “hope and a prayer” than a rational reality. Then there is the China-Taiwan fiasco, the Russian-Ukraine debacle, our virus contagion, runaway inflation, and a host of other issues that could change the Fed’s perception in the blink of the Loan Arranger’s eye. We are also facing China’s economic difficulties, which I consider severe. I would be standing around and holding my breath. You can “dot plot” yourself all that you like, but when the Fed’s assets stand at almost $8.5 trillion, which have more than doubled since 2020, then the real effect of some sort of maybe-maybe taper will have all of the immediate effect of a candle flickering in the economic wind. “Build Back Better” may be a failing concept, but “Buy Bonds Because” is a program that the Fed decides upon, and it is also a program upon which no Representative or Senator votes for or against. If you think this is all suddenly and magically going to change anytime soon, then I invite you to think again. economy, in my opinion, by providing manna from heaven for the government’s borrowing costs and an incredible tax without legislation on the American people. That is just a shocking spread and the highest spread that I have found on record. I calculate this by averaging the CPI number and the PPI number, which places America’s overall inflation rate at 8.2%, or 675 basis points, over our 10-year Treasury. What is also incredibly interesting is the spread between America’s average interest rate and the 10-year Treasury. Perhaps it is because Omicron may translate into “taper later,” or perhaps it is because there is so much money in the system that it continues to flow into wherever it can find a decent home. You might think that with all of the talk of a “taper” in the Fed’s bond buying, interest rates would be heading higher, but with the 10-year Treasury at 1.45% this morning, that is clearly not the case. Maybe it will be “Hi-Ho Gold” or “Hi-Ho Bitcoin.” It depends upon the horse that he is riding, of course. This is, of course, when inflation is spiking through the capitol’s dome. Apparently, you have to be masked now when handing out money to the government, purchasing their securities, and holding rates at historically low levels.

A photograph of the spectacle was published in the university's yearbook, where it was rediscovered by journalists at The Cavalier Daily in 2019. In 1971, Chi Psi at the University of Virginia conducted a staged lynching with a group of black-hooded students with rifles surrounding a black-faced mannequin swinging from a tree. A 2017 USA Today article used Bailey's death to illustrate that fraternity chapters frequently continue operations with little interruption after a death.

Main article: List of chapters of Chi PsiĬhi Psi refers to its chapters as Alphas. The Chi Psi Educational Trust has funded the Program for Excellence, consisting of workshops that instill the fraternity's members with a respect for themselves, the people they are around, and their community. : 184 The fraternity's national headquarters is in Nashville, Tennessee. The Chi Psi newsletter, The Purple & Gold, was first published in November 1883, and was named for the fraternity's official colors. This was a building at the University of Michigan, which was said to resemble a hunting lodge hence, Chi Psi now refers to all its chapter houses as lodges. In 1846, Chi Psi was the first fraternity in the nation to establish a fraternity house. The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from goodwill and an acute sense of propriety and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy whose deed follows his word who thinks of the rights and feelings of others rather than his own and who appears well in any company a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe. Chi Psi also embraces the idea of being a true gentleman, by following the definition of a gentleman as put forward by John Walter Wayland's "The True Gentleman": : 19 A revision of the values was adopted at 122nd National Convention in 1963.

The added bonus of this season being mainly about Birdy makes her character far more accessible,and endearing, as well. The tighter storyline, combined with some excellent pacing and some great (even with the predictable bits), plot development, allows the audience to become far more engaged in the story. As with any story, no matter how good, unless the pacing is correct the audience will lose interest, and season two is no slouch is this department. I just wanted the show to get on with the story rather than beat around the bush. One of the main problems I had with the first season was the inconsistent, and often slow, pacing of the series. One irony is that, whilst the first season looked at Tsutomu's love life, the second season is very clearly about Birdy's relationships, and I found that this aspect was far more engaging than the sci-fi school romance that was season one. The story is much tighter this time around, and is very much focused on Birdy rather than Tsutomu. The story seems pretty straightforward on the whole, and there are some predictable events that occur, however don't be fooled by the failings of the first season as Decode: 02 is a completely different beast.

Way of the Samurai is an action-adventure game with RPG elements. Genre : Action-adventure, action role-playing Meanwhile, you will find that this title is more of a reboot to the series so you could jump right into the game and not be thrown off by the campaign. Again, this is a 3D fighting game where players take control of their fighters in an attempt to take out the competition. One of the latest releases is simply just titled Samurai Shodown and it came out back in 2019.

This is a series of video games from SNK who you may know best from Metal Slug, The King of Fighters, and Fatal Fury. Samurai Shodown is a straight-up fighting game and it’s been around since 1993. Platform : Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Stadia, PC, Xbox Series X|S Again, this is an older title and it will show its age, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad game, but it might not be for everyone.

Sword of the Samurai is one of the older video game titles on our list as this game came out in 1989 for the MS-DOS, how many of you know what that is? Despite its age, this was one of the more popular action-strategy samurai games that fans still look at fondly today. As a result, the game franchise has been dormant since 2009 but you can still find quite a bit of fun with the early release of the Tenchu franchise. The first video game installment came out back in 1998 and while it had a pretty consistent release schedule, there was a stretch of relatively poor releases in terms of their reception. Throughout the games, players are mainly serving their Lord as they keep the providence free from harm and potential hostile intruders. Both are experts in the art of combat using a variety of weapons although we mainly see these classes as sword-wielding. Still, samurai and ninjas are not all that different, Samurai are mainly warriors while ninjas are a bit like mercenaries. ![]() Here in this franchise, we’re thrown back into a more feudal Japan era where we’re mainly following two protagonists who are Ninja’s so there’s your first big change up to this list.
