![]() ![]() For the price, I see this is a very capable electric bicycle, and if you ride it thoughtfully, it should hold up well over time. Now the battery pack is removable and both wheels use quick release so maintenance and flat fixes aren’t such a hassle… so it’s a mixed bag. If you’re unable to shift smoothly, the chain, cassette, and derailleur will wear out faster and that goes for the display panel as well because it’s not removable. My biggest gripes center on the lack of shift sensing and brake lever motor inhibitors as well as the two-step on and off process. The 2017 IZIP E3 Dash weighs about 53 lbs, which I would consider good for having the fenders, rack, and a larger 48 volt battery pack. This is a huge deal for people like me who have a sensitive back and neck but also want a light weight frame. And the new Dash has a 65 mm air fork along with medium-width tires to really improve the comfort of your ride. I like that they added alloy guides on this chainring to keep the chain from bouncing off if you take the bike across a bumpy section of road. The motor is compact, relatively quit but not as quiet as Brose or Yamaha, and uses a standard sized chainring. Most other mid-drive ebikes I’ve been seeing form premium brands use Bosch, Yamaha, or Brose but the E3 Dash has gone with TranzX, probably to keep the cost down. This is a Class 3 Speed Pedelec capable of reaching ~28 mph top speeds and it uses a cadence sensor so you don’t have to work as hard to hit and maintain top speeds. While the 2017 version does not come in multiple colors, I feel like the silver and black looks professional and approaches unisex while also improving your visual footprint from the side. It looks great, is value priced, offers great urban accessories (fenders, integrated lights, and a rear rack in this case) and comes in several sizes for improved fit. iZip E3 Dash 48V 17.The E3 Dash has long been one of my favorite IZIP electric bike models. ![]()

The etymology that most reference works provide today is based on a survey of the word's early history in print: a series of six articles by Allen Walker Read in the journal American Speech in 19. The following proposals have found mainstream recognition. Many explanations for the origin of the expression have been suggested, but few have been discussed seriously by linguists. See also: List of proposed etymologies of OK Some of this variation in use and shape of the word is also found in other languages. As a versatile discourse marker or continuer, it can also be used with appropriate intonation to show doubt or to seek confirmation ("OK?", "Is that OK?"). OK, as an adjective, can express acknowledgement without approval. ![]() It can mean "assent" when it is used as a noun ("the boss gave her the OK to the purchase") or, more colloquially, as a verb ("the boss OKed the purchase"). As an interjection, it can denote compliance ("OK, I will do that"), or agreement ("OK, that is fine"). ![]() It fulfills a similar role as an adverb ("Wow, you did OK for your first time skiing!"). This origin was first described by linguist Allen Walker Read in the 1960s.Īs an adjective, OK principally means "adequate" or "acceptable" as a contrast to "bad" ("The boss approved this, so it is OK to send out") it can also mean "mediocre" when used in contrast with "good" ("The french fries were great, but the burger was just OK"). OK's origins are disputed however, most modern reference works hold that it originated around Boston as part of a fad for abbreviations using misspellings in the late 1830s, and originally stood for "oll korrect" ("all correct"). It has been described as the most frequently spoken or written word on the planet. OK is frequently used as a loanword in other languages. OK ( / ˌ oʊ ˈ k eɪ/ ⓘ spelling variations include okay, O.K., ok and Ok) is an English word (originating in American English) denoting approval, acceptance, agreement, assent, acknowledgment, or a sign of indifference.

![]() ![]() They were generous during Covid as well and offered a big reduction. One friend repeatedly got big credits of MR points every year to effectively lower the annual fee as a retention offer, but after a few years, that stopped as well. If he’s really hell-bent on getting the Centurion (he didn’t seem to be) then paying the joining fee would only make sense if he thinks that he keeps the card for several years, otherwise he’d end up with a 9000 annual fee for the first year and that would be clearly insane.Īmex Germany was in the past a bit flexible when it came to the annual fee for longtime users of the card. If they don’t budge then I’d decline and keep the Platinum card instead. Taking everything into account, my recommendation was that he should carefully consider for how many years he is willing to keep this card and try to negotiate that joining fee either away or at least down. The entire consideration would be totally different in other countries where the features and services of the Centurion vary entirely from Germany. Keep in mind the annual fee for the Platinum in Germany is 660 Euro and that includes a 200 Euro Amex travel credit which presumingly will be available for the Centurion as well. This might be a decision that’s being decided on a case-by-case basis and some factors such as spend, prominence of the cardholder, etc come into play. I asked a few other friends, and at least two of them said that they didn’t pay a joining fee for their Centurion in Germany. Again, he was even advised of a 4k EUR joining fee. Of course, this is a luxury, and would you really pay for this?Ī special signup bonus as far as Membership Rewards points are concerned was not offered. This VIP Service is expensive (359 Euro/Pax) so using this could be quite valuable, especially considering that the situation at some German airports is quite chaotic at the moment. The real value is in the Airport VIP Service that can be used up to 4x/year at German Airports provided the flights are booked through Amex Travel Service and the airport valet parking. The insurance options with Centurion are covering higher amounts, especially in the compartment of baggage insurance and trip cancellation which is rather useful.Ĭenturion members always get immediate access to the Centurion lounges even if there is a waiting list to get in for the general “Platinum Plebs” which seems to be an increasing problem these days. It comes with some hotel status, of which Hilton Diamond and ShangriLa Diamond is probably the most worthwhile, as is Emirates Gold for Airlines and Sixt Diamond for Rental Cars (he has most of this already). He said he rarely uses the card itself but most of his transactions are apple pay, self-pay terminal or electronic.įair enough so let’s see what the German Centurion has in terms of benefits that exceed those of the Platinum Card which he already has. If that’s not his style then a big chunk of the attraction is already gone. They want to get the card because it’s hip and they want to be flashy. I said that most folks probably don’t look rationally at this. His initial reaction was indeed that it was totally not worth it, but if I had any input that could change his mind, then he might consider it. Since this is a long-time personal friend and we’re pretty used to talking turkey my initial reaction in jest was why a value hunter (well actually, I used some profanity in the chat) like him would even consider paying that for a credit card, but of course it was a genuine question so we got to it. Some benefits which I’ll get into later were outlines and he asked me if it’s worth it. The annual membership fee is supposed to be 5000 Euro and he was advised of a 4000 Euro initiation fee. His Amex Platinum (and before that Gold Card) is older than 15 years and was one of his first credit cards. so any question on why he put this on the Amex Platinum rather than something else is pretty moot. ![]() ![]() Keep in mind that the credit card market in Germany is rather sparse and that there isn’t a lot of choice when it comes to card products, let alone cards with multipliers for certain purchase categories as we know it from the U.S. The cardholder had spent about 270,000 Euro this calendar year on his personal Amex Platinum card on expenses that range from travel, dining, and electronics purchases as well as the purchase of a small motor boat in Spain for ~ 20k EUR. The reader, who is a personal friend of mine, asked me yesterday what he should do as he was contacted by American Express Germany about his interest in upgrading his card.Īmex contacted the customer and offered a card upgrade to the American Express Platinum Card (German version) following about 10 months of rather heavy personal spending. However, it also comes at a significant annual cost of (in this case) 5000 Euro plus a 4000 Euro initiation fee. ![]() ![]() ![]() “The frequent need for retuning during a show is gone.” - Ronnie McCoury “The best tuners in the world.” - Chris Thile “Simply the best you can get.” - David Grisman Performing artists stay in tune with Waverly: Lubricate the screw threads with cutting lubricant (also wax or a bar of soap) to reduce friction and help them thread properly.

If you enjoy playing with filters and retouching, think of using these as crafting a work of art rather than covering up your “flaws.” But keep in mind that your partner probably wants more than anything to experience the raw immediacy of your body, exactly as it appears in the image. Your partner wants an intimate picture of you because they know how special you are, and because they want to feel special when you send them.

The term “psychosocial adaptation” refers to the quality of life in terms of social activities and relationships, sense of control and self-image. However, research into the relationship between fluid intelligence and the behavioral domain is very scarce, especially as it pertains to psychosocial domains. The relationship between fluid intelligence, novel problem solving and executive dysfunction has been extensively studied –, – and the relationship between fluid intelligence and abstract reasoning – has already been established. Support for this comes from several lesion studies, which show that frontal lobe damage can alter behavior and social adaptation –. Īlongside the view that the frontal lobe constitutes the neural basis of fluid intelligence, frontal lobe functioning has also been linked to executive functioning and complex social behavior. Frontal lobe lesions have been found to affect performance on tests of fluid intelligence – and functional imaging studies that measure g have shown increased extensive activity in the frontal area of the brain –. ![]() Neuroanatomically, fluid intelligence has been related to frontal functioning. (See the Measures section for more details.) During the application of the RPM, participants identify relevant information based on their perception of the spatial organization of an array of objects and their task consists of filling in the missing piece of a set of patterns. Usually, this measure is employed to evaluate perceptive skills and is recommended as a standard assessment in school populations. The g factor is thought to directly reflect a broad factor underlying several cognitive functions, such as observation and reasoning and, in this sense, evaluates a general intellectual capacity. In fact, RPM is the most widely-used measure of g. ![]() Although the RPM presents some caveats related to the fact that it is an extended and general measure, i.e., different processes seem to influence the RPM score, specifically, perceptual processing and analytic or analogical reasoning ,those criticisms are expected for any general static cognitive measure. ![]() This index is traditionally inferred from a general factor of the underlying intelligence quotient (IQ) known as the g factor. RPM is a psychometric non-verbal multiple choice test that evaluates the global index of intelligence. Several tests have been proposed to measure this important function the Raven Progressive Matrices (RPM) is the most widely-used task. Undoubtedly, fluid intelligence is relevant to the process of analyzing novel problems, identifying patterns and relationships that underpin these problems and using logical extrapolation. Fluid intelligence reflects an individual's capacity for abstract thought and reasoning and it contrasts with so-called “crystallized intelligence”, which depends on previous knowledge and educational achievement. Fluid intelligence has been defined as the ability to think logically and solve problems in novel situations, independent of acquired knowledge. ![]() ![]() ![]()
