Fed ex tracking packages8/27/2023 ![]() I have had 100's of shipments through FedEx and while the majority are delivered on time. However, in FedEx is just bad at this and their website while it says it updates once every 24 hours I suspect something in their back end is broken. The norm for shippers now is to notify customers of these states so people know where their items are. ![]() when it is loaded onto a truck to be "in transit".The issue I have with them is that they scan these packages multiple times. Past that good luck seeing where your package is until it's on your doorstep. The fact is FedEx will provide 3 initial updates on every shipment. FedEx is a joke.ĭude don't listen to the excuses made below. Who wants to wager some bets on whether the item is broken or not? Best part is a ground delivery through USPS is going to get here today before my Priority Overnight FedEx delivery and they both originated from the same city on the same day. Even with the current tracking the system has no idea when they will actually deliver it. *Update - package has started moving and the status is now "pending" with "No scheduled delivery date available at this time.". If employees at FedEx can't even tell me what is wrong, what is going on? So what is the point of their job if they can't help you or even look into the system deeper than the customer facing site? Someone please tell me exactly what it is I paid for because I am struggling to see anything that points to accountability or usefulness from this company. On top of that they have no idea why there is a delay other than "winter storms" that when looking at a map of the weather from the last 2 days does not affect anything in between Memphis and my location. ![]() Oh, and it gets better, even when calling CS they have no idea where the package is, just the last reported location, which is exactly the same data I can already view. I'm sure that will change the perception your customers have of the horrible company you work for. Every section of this company fails hard.įedEx is a horrible business that keeps its customers in the dark on purpose and all of you here working for them should feel ashamed for contributing to such an anti-consumer company.īut please proceed to downvote my post instead of actually replying with anything useful. It's not the 90's anymore, update your site already with some actually useful features that work.Īnd don't even get me started on the stupid stealth drops by your drivers never ringing or knocking. ![]() Useless, and shows how little FedEx cares about maintaining a site that works with dead services scattered throughout its pages. Oh, and why in the world is there no live customer service chat online? All the ones I can find are broken completely or a bot. Update you tracking to a better system already FedEx. It's not like tracking is some unknown anymore, this is inexcusable and frankly a sorry excuse for your company's blatant penny pinching. But hey, why bother doing an adequate job when you have almost no competition, right? If you can't be bothered to ship on time even when I pay extra, the very least you could do is pass on the information of what is going on with the package. I now have no reason to excuse using your priority shipping when there appears to have been zero priority offered to me the customer throughout this entire experience. Now I have no idea what is wrong, when it will get here, and I am starting to wonder why in the hell I paid extra for this horrible service. If the priority service costs more and is supposed to be on time because of package importance, and yet if item can't be delivered on time, they should at least update their freaking tracking to say there is a delay and why. I also find it infuriating that delays are not mentioned when it gets past the scheduled time. Ninja editing the time to show nothing on Priority Overnight deliveries once they miss their scheduled delivery date is not acceptable.

Below, our favorite graduation books for students of all ages. First 100 trillion digits of pi8/27/2023 ![]() Whenever we calculate the first $n$ digits of an irrational number, we simply estimate it and there is a small error in our approximation. ![]() But having found a plausible sequence of conjectures you may be better placed to find a proof.įor more on this subject see this set of notes on experimental mathematics. Note, of course, that finding an identity holds to 100 decimal places still doesn't mean it's correct. But by using many digits of $\pi$ you make such accidents far less likely and you can be more confident in your conjecture. But if you give yourself enough flexibility you can eventually find some expression that fits any real number simply by accident. If you find yourself unable to fit a polynomial in $\pi$ you might conjecture that you need a polynomial in more constants or of higher degree. The more digits of $\pi$ you have, the more confidence you have in the correctness of your result. What about for large $n$? You can guess it's a polynomial in $n$ and then use an algorithm like LLL to conjecture rational coefficients based on numerical integration. For small $n$ you can numerically integrate and with some guesswork find that the result is a polynomial in $\pi$ with rational coefficients. One example is in forming conjectures about equality between mathematical expressions, especially integrals.įor example consider the integral $I_n=\int_0^\infty\frac$. So even if you have more digits of $\pi$ than you could ever measure in a practical experiment, there are still applications for those digits. There are more applications of real numbers than simply measuring the lengths of things. 8mm bolt extractor8/26/2023 ![]() The bolt handle is curved at approximately a 45-degree angle, unlike the K98k, which is turned down at an angle sharp enough to prompt the need for a cutout in the stock to accommodate it. The rear sight gets hot, too since it’s mounted on the barrel through a slot in the upper handguard. Maybe not a big deal, but the barrel gets damned hot after a few rounds and that extra protection is nice when handling the weapon after putting it through its paces. The upper handguard on the M48 covers the barrel all the way back to the receiver, while the K98k only goes back to the front edge of the rear sights. Several features of the Zastava rifles are different too. According to my scale, my M48B comes in at 8.2 pounds unloaded.Īn attitude of gratitude is never a bad thing. The M48 is in the same range, with 8.6 pounds being the standard. The listed weight for the K98k is 8.2 to 9 pounds. The weight of both rifles can vary by a few ounces either way. The M48 is not quite an inch shorter in overall length, measuring 42.75 inches, with a 23.25-inch barrel compared to 23.62 inches for the K98k. The M48 was not a carbon copy of the K98k, though there are similarities. Preduzece 44 was later known as the “Red Banner” plant. Even though the bolt action infantry rifle was pretty much obsolete by then, the Yugoslavians set up the Preduzece 44 facility (part of Zastava) to manufacture what became the M48 Mauser variant. The KAR 98 was the standard-issue infantry rifle for the Wehrmacht right through the end of the war. As part of the reparations Germany had to pay after World War II, Yugoslavia received tooling and equipment to make the Mauser 98, specifically the Karabiner 98 kurz (K98k or KAR 98) version. One of the best examples of the Mauser series was not manufactured in Germany, but in Yugoslavia in the late 1940s and 1950s. The Zastava M48 is among the last bolt action infantry rifles made and it just might be the best a Mauser can be. Mauser sued over it too, but the legal wranglings got sidetracked by a little dust-up known as World War I. I include the M1903 Springfield in that latter group since most of us know that the ’03 action was essentially a Mauser copy. I love my Mosins too, but the truth is that they’re garbage next to any Mauser 98 variant in reasonable condition. Sorry if that pisses off any Mosin-Nagant-o-philes out there, but it’s a fact. ![]() Sure, there are other great designs like the Swiss K31 and British SMLE, but no series of rifles has been more consistently excellent than the ones that are based on the Mauser 98 action. Mausers are the gold standard for Milsurp rifles for many people, myself included. ![]() Twist it anti clockwise until the screw comes free.The Zastava M48 Mauser - there are many like it, but this one is mine! Grip the top of the screw extractor with a wrench. The screw extractors are similar to a screw but have a reverse thread.How to remove a screw using a screw extractorAlways select a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screw you want to remove.Attach to the drillLine the drill bit up with the centre of the screwWork slowly to drill a hole for the extractorPlace the spiral end of the extractor into the hole you have drilled.Twist the extractor anti clockwise until you cannot turn it anymoreTwist the extractor with a wrench or drill. The easiest way to remove the screws before replacing with a new one, is to use a specialist tool such as a screw extractor. This brings any work or project to a halt. You can learn more in our complete guide to screw extractors.Why use a Screw Extractor? Screws can break, rust or become stripped and need to be replaced. They can be driven manually using adjustable spanners or vice grip pliers or by using a hand-held power tool.

VoIP Supply is an Authorized Poly Partner Corum 1860 $20 gold coin watch8/26/2023 ![]() We encourage collectors and experts to share their knowledge on the matter to better serve those eager to learn and to create change. Instead of a definitive overview of coin watches, this article is only the beginning in what we hope will develop into an ongoing conversation around them. Ironically, in 2021 the scholarship of coin watches has yet to be thoroughly explored. The global pandemic of 2020 resulted in a national coin shortage, and as a result the Federal Reserve formed The U.S. Whether it be pocket watches, alarm clocks, ring watches, pen watches or travel clocks, there is joy to be found in going off track every now and again. With wristwatches remaining the conventional area of focus for collectors, there are many alternative areas to explore. Learning more on the casemakers may allow further insight into who was behind many of these specialized creations. An area that certainly deserves further research is the casemaker’s hallmarks within these timepieces. One of the recurring points brought up in discussing coin watches is the incredible construction and craftsmanship that these timepieces possess. It would be easy to understand that some of these, over the years, would have been bought and sold as simply coins by the untrained eye.” When describing his impression upon close observation of the timepiece, Bedwell stated “The perlage featured on the interior caseback was certainly some of the finest I’ve encountered.” The fact that upon initially obtaining it it took me a while to actually find the trigger set so beautifully in the coin edging was also testament to the quality of the workmanship. In addition, this is an early use of the coin motif for Bulgari that is so important to its jewelry today. During World War II the Bulgari family took in and helped Jewish women during those years and the family is listed among The Righteous Among the Nations in Israel for their effort to help protect the Jewish women. The watch was imported to Italy only months before the Italian government instituted a ban on gold jewelry imports. As far as Wind and Bedwell know, it is the only known Audemars Piguet coin watch, or any coin watch from the 1940s or earlier, to have a Bulgari retail signature on the dial. In 2019, Wind and Alan Bedwell of Foundwell sold to Bulgari a rare Audemars Piguet retailed by Bulgari coin watch made in 1941 from an 1863 Napoleon III French 100 franc coin for the company's museum. Because of the limited comprehensive cataloging of coin watches, we hope this compilation will serve as a resource for collectors and further discussion of coin watches. What follows is a selection of these coin watches from Patek Philippe that have appeared at auctions and from private dealers. The reference 802 is part of a small series of gold coin watches from Patek with the reference numbers 800 to 809, which use the U.S $5 (ref. According to Collectability, there are over 15 different Patek Philippe coin watch references, the most common being the reference 802. So it is not in the least bit surprising to learn that Patek had been quite active in coin watches as well. You name it, chances are they’ve created it. Their offerings range from solar timepieces, chiming watches, jump hours, digital wristwatches, hell, even ink chronographs. Patek Philippe is recognized for being one of the most diversified watchmakers in the world. While earlier timepieces featuring a coin date further back to the late 19th century, manufacturers would go on to utilize Vergely’s process as the standard.Ī collage of coin watch makers Patek Philippe These are distinguished by the case form being entirely constructed through the two separate coins, a technique the head watchmaker of European Watch and Clock Company Paris is credited with perfecting. However, records in the brand’s literature indicate there were much earlier examples via a process introduced by Joseph Vergely. According to Sotheby's, Cartier began producing coin watches in 1929. Several manufacturers adopted the coin form timepiece during the 1920s, yet specific styles and makers warrant context. Scattered across archived auction lot results, printed within the bindings of old books collecting dust, and occasionally in the pockets of some dealers who have gone off the deep end into obsession, there are examples in desperate need of discussion. The history of coin watches is an elusive tale. Transunion freeze account georgia8/26/2023 ![]() You still need to monitor all bank, credit card, and insurance statements for fraudulent transactions.

With that list of prioritized risks, organizations can develop a response plan outlining how to address each risk. The organization can then use the prioritized risks to focus its resources and efforts on addressing the most critical risks first while staying within its risk appetite. Then the risks are prioritized based on their likelihood of occurring and potential impact on the organization, taking into account the organization’s risk appetite. To put your risks in a logical priority, organization must first conduct a thorough risk analysis, including worst-case scenario analysis, to determine the level of risk associated with each identified risk. The risks are categorized and a risk register is created, which contains details about each risk’s nature, sources, and potential impact. In this step, organizations identify all the potential risks that could harm their business objectives, including security risk, compliance risk, financial risk, operational risk, supply chain risk, and strategic risk. This requires mastering tactics to minimize risk factors and maintain long-term operational success. Risk management is something much larger and more far-reaching.ĥ Tactics for Mastering Organizational Risk ManagementĪn effective risk management program is vital for organizations to assure business continuity in the face of unpredictable events. In other words, risk control is one part of risk management, but only one part. It involves a holistic approach to analyzing all potential risks, including new risks emerging from technological advancements and cybersecurity threats. Risk management, on the other hand, is a broader and more complex process that identifies, assesses, and treats various types of risks across an entire organization. This method uses the results from risk assessments to identify possible risks in a company’s operations. More specifically, risk control focuses on minimizing the effect of identified risks on a specific activity or project. This may include strategies such as implementing safety procedures, creating backup systems, or employing preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of bad outcomes. Risk control involves implementing measures to reduce the probability or impact of potential risks. In contrast, risk management is a broader term that encompasses your whole effort to identify, assess, and treat risks across an organization or project. Risk control refers to mitigating or reducing the risks associated with a particular activity or situation. We’ll also discuss the three fundamental risk categories that all organizations should consider when developing risk management strategies. In this article we’ll explore those distinctions between risk control and risk management, and provide five tactics for mastering organizational risk management. Understanding the difference between the two is critical to identify vulnerabilities, monitor risks, and make informed decisions on managing risk effectively. Risk control and risk management are two essential parts of any organization’s efforts to manage risk. Slingo supreme cracked8/26/2023 The major search engines are each listed individually.
