![]() ![]() The other notable difference of the Elite series is that it has supported handles which gives your hand less room to maneuver, but helps keep your wrists neutral. However, the Elite series has a manual locking system whereas the other series have auto locking mechanisms. The Elite series is constructed similarly to the Sport series in that it has steel plates with powder coating. However, they do share the open handle design. The PowerBlock Sport series differs from the Pro series in that none of the Sport adjustable dumbbells are compatible with other PowerBlock equipment, the weight plates are made of steel with a powder coating instead of urethane, and they don't have the wedge on the handle. ![]() The handle on the Pro series also includes a wedge shape to give your arm more room to work. The Pro series also has certain models that are compatible with other PowerBlock equipment like kettlebells and curl bars. This series has urethane-coated plates that make them more durable than the other series. The PowerBlock Pro series is the premium of the three. Here are some of the key differences you need to know: Pro Series The differences between these series are differences of design and performance rather than differences of quality.

Itching can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.Įach parasite lodged into the skin creates a bump, which doesn’t spread and is not contagious, said Troiano. Those unlucky enough to contract swimmer’s itch will know it when the tingling starts and red spots start to appear, typically within a few hours. This can remove the parasites before they have a chance to penetrate the skin,” she said. “Drying off with a towel immediately after leaving the water and, if possible, rinsing off in a shower, is an easy way to help prevent swimmer’s itch. Oftentimes, they’re children playing in shallow water where the organisms tend to congregate, said Troiano, adding that kids are less likely than adults to towel dry after coming to shore, also making them susceptible. But sometimes they unintentionally encounter humans along the way. Schistosomes live their life cycles migrating from small snails to ducks and geese - and then back again. Caused by tiny wormlike parasites called schistosomes, “they penetrate the skin and trigger an immune response in the form of red spots that can persistently itch.” Though generally harmless, the red pimply rash is maddenly itchy, she said. The ailment is widely reported around the Pacific Northwest each summer, especially during extended periods of warm weather when the parasites flourish and more people are recreating in water, said pediatrician Jennifer Troiano, clinical assistant professor at Washington State University’s Elson S. Hot summer temperatures have warmed up the region’s lakes and watering holes, making conditions ripe for swimmer’s itch, medically known as cercarial dermatitis. – A waterborne parasite with a forked tail is getting under our skin.

The season’s first case of swimmer’s itch usually occurs after the first extended period of warm, calm weather in late May or early June. When and where can you get Swimmer’s Itch? When: The parasitic larvae cannot distinguish between duck and human, so they try to enter through your skin while wading and playing in the shallow water. The cycle repeats itself, going back to Step 1. Microscopic cercariae then swim up toward the sunlight at the water surface and search for a Merganser duck. In snails, the larvae further develop into wormlike larvae, called cercariae, and are released from their host snail back into the water. In the water, the eggs hatch releasing swimming larvae which burrow into snails. When an infected water fowl excretes, it releases the parasite flatworm eggs. Mallard ducks, geese and even muskrats can carry different parasitic flatworm species. ![]() Merganser ducks can travel 1-2 miles along a shoreline each day. ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() It enabled me to compile much more before it failed. Hi Robert, thanks for recommending fftw-devel. LMMS 1.1.3 (the latest stable release) is packaged in Fedora 22 with yum install lmms. It just doesn't have the library support and it's very difficult to meet library requirements. Unfortunately RHEL is not the best choice to run the very latest multimedia software. Then you either hit a wall, or end up recompiling half the distro which makes it unsupported, taking heaps of time and potentially introducing unknown stability, negating the whole advantage of using RHEL in the first place. However using this method you often find libraries which depend on other libraries which also aren't installed, and you end up trying to fulfil this huge dependency tree and get halfway thru and find something won't compile because of a dependency which is not easily met (eg: upgrading glibc or python or Xorg). You could try getting the Fedora SRPMs for the libraries you're missing, rebuilding the SRPM on RHEL, installing the library and its devel package, and trying to compile again. carla, libpulse, fluidsynth, etc.Ī lot of multimedia libraries just aren't packaged for EL7, either by Red Hat or by the community.

These are usually in the form of suction-cup feet or some other raised points with non-skid coating. Feet: While not as secure or common as other base methods, feet can still be an effective way of holding a peeler in place and providing stability.Your counter should have a lip capable of working with the clamp, and the clamp should open wide enough to fasten to the counter. Clamp: Some peelers have a clamp built into the bottom of them that securely attaches your peeler to the counter.Any suction base should be easy to use (usually via a knob or dial) and should hold securely. Suction base: These use a suction device on the bottom of the peeler that firmly attaches it to the counter.This is handled in several ways and varies from peeler to peeler. ![]() ![]() Parts of an apple peeler BaseĪpple peelers work best and are safest if they are securely fastened to your kitchen work surface and are not allowed to move around while in use. Also, any electric component of an apple peeler should never be submerged in water. With few exceptions, manufacturers recommend that apple peelers be cleaned with warm soapy water and a dishcloth, as opposed to machine washing them. It should have smooth lines so there are few crevices, cracks, or other areas for apple juice, pulp, and seeds to accumulate. Any peeler you select should break down easily so it can be cleaned. One fact you can be sure of when using an apple peeler: you are going to create a mess. You should be able to quickly run an apple through the peeler, which is a real help if you frequently find yourself putting up jars of apples or baking several pies. Does it peel smoothly - regardless of apple size - every time, or are you stuck constantly tinkering with the peeling blade? A peeler should also completely peel apples, so you’re not constantly having to finish them off with a paring knife. Related to ease of use is how effective an apple peeler is. Does it ship fully assembled? Instructions for how to use the apple peeler should be clear, with illustrations being a plus. Fruit should be easy to load, smoothly turn through the machine, and simple to remove at the end.Īlso note how easy it is to set up and start to use an apple peeler. Ease of useĭoes the apple peeler operate with little effort, or do you find yourself having to really put some muscle into it? This can be a real issue for seniors or others suffering from conditions such as arthritis. Others can handle a variety of fruits and vegetables, making them quite versatile tools for the kitchen. Some adhere strictly to their name: apple peeler. The majority of these peelers feature spring-loaded arms that can be adjusted to handle everything from a Tiddly Pomme to a Honeycrisp and all sizes, shapes, and textures in between. Not all apples are created equal, and this is particularly true in terms of both size and shape. You can find some apple peelers that work via an electric motor, which some cooks may find both easier to use and quicker in terms of bulk processing of fruit. The standard is a crank that is manually turned, freeing you up from the need for electricity or the hassle of another cord. Whatever its construction materials, an apple peeler should be durable, able to stand up to the stresses of use, and resistant to rust and corrosion. Blades and other elements of a peeler tend to be strong metal such as stainless steel, with some offering a chrome coating. Some apple peeler bodies are constructed from lighter metals or even plastic. ConstructionĮnamel-coated cast iron is standard for the bodies of apple peelers, providing a durable frame that will stay rugged and stable for years. This rotates the apple and drives it towards the business end of the machine where various blades may peel, core, or even slice it. The apple peeler is clamped or suctioned to your kitchen work surface, an apple is loaded into it, and you turn the handle. While this varies from machine to machine, the majority of apple peelers are fairly straightforward in their operation. Key considerations How to use an apple peeler The best way to operate a crank on a manual apple slicer is to use slow, steady turns. ![]() ![]() WALTR 2 will automatically convert the file format for you.

But IXsystems also has a scale-out product, TrueNAS Scale, which adds both storage and performance. TrueNAS is IXsystems' scale-up product, which adds storage but not more performance to the user's NAS. A look at IXsystems' TrueNAS 13.0 storage pools. "IXsystems is saying, 'Everything we did before, we do it stronger, better, faster,' rather than, 'Here's new features we've never done before,'" Sinclair said. This is needed as more organizations adopt open source technology for Tier 1 functions. Scott Sinclair, a senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, a division of TechTarget, said IXsystems is hardening the heart of its technology. TrueNAS also received a 400% performance increase in NFS technology using nconnect, which enables multiple TCP connections in parallel, Littlewood said. "We've made that a parallel process, where it used to be serial." "When OpenZFS boots up, it must scan all the drives to bring in metadata and start up the file system," Littlewood said. Version 13.0 brings the operating system, FreeBSD, from 12.0 to 13.0 and enhances performance up to 20%, which includes an improvement to scheduling threads, according to Morgan Littlewood, senior vice president of product management and business development at IXsystems.īy updating OpenZFS, an open source file system, to 2.1, the vendor reduced startup and failover times for high-availability systems by more than 80%, Littlewood said. ![]() The last major update, 12.0, saw the merging of FreeNAS and TrueNAS into a single storage OS and a name change to Core, the community or free version, and Enterprise, the highly available, paid version. Companies might be using Core for testing or R&D, but if companies are using TrueNAS in several places in the organization - and if IXsystems continues to add enterprise features - some companies might decide to use it everywhere, he said. TrueNAS has a significant user base on Core, its free product, Matchett said. "Now it can compete with other solutions from big vendors." "Now is saying is ready for the big time," Matchett said. He added that TrueNAS is now more Tier 1-ready than ever before. IXsystems' TrueNAS 13.0 aims to make it more appealing to the enterprise with better performance and more mainstream features, according to Mike Matchett, an analyst at Small World Big Data. The updates for TrueNAS Core, Enterprise and Scale are available at no cost. ![]() TrueNAS Scale, the hyper-converged infrastructure version of the software released in October 2021, received its first update, which allows for more complex deployments. ![]() The vendor upgraded TrueNAS Core and Enterprise editions to version 13.0 with a performance improvement claim of up to 20% and a reduction in system restart and failover times. ![]() ![]() ![]() That's all well and good but how about the actual racing itself? Well, it's fine, really. Every few hours the cars in the shop are changed, meaning if you’re patient enough you can finally get the last ones you need. But there’s at least some support in the Limited Offer section, which picks five cars at random and lays them out for you, letting you buy specific one (think of it like the Trophy Shop in Smash Bros For Wii U / 3DS). If you’re starting to think “hang on, this is going to make it hard to complete the whole set” then… well, yes, frankly. In situations like this, you can either sell them or ‘dismantle’ them into gears to upgrade your original one. ![]() It’s possible to buy a Blind Box and get a duplicate of a car you already have in your collection. This isn’t the sort of game that just gives you a new car every time, however. The most common is by spending coins on ‘Blind Boxes’, which are your aforementioned loot-boxes and will give you one of the game’s 68 cars at random (with the common ones obviously appearing more frequently). Given that half the fun of real life Hot Wheels is collecting them, it should be no surprise that it’s also the most enjoyable part of the game, even if it gets a bit loot-boxy. Coins can be spent on new cars, while the gears can be used to upgrade vehicles you already have in your collection. The aim of completing all these races is to earn coins and gears. That said, the Time Trials don’t have difficulty settings, and some of the tighter limits can be tricky for newcomers. It’s possible to set it to Easy - in case a kid’s playing it, for example, or you just fancy a more relaxing ride - and the rewards are the same regardless. It’s fun enough, and will take you anything from 6-10 hours to complete, depending on your skill level. You don’t even have the typical ‘eliminator’ style race that most games add to mix things up a bit.Ĭaptured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked) Other than a handful of ‘boss battles’, which are just longer races set around a large toy, there really isn’t much variety to these races. These events are the standard fare you would expect from a racing game: Quick Races (where you have to finish first) and Time Attacks (where you have to beat a certain time to earn one one star, or a second shorter time for two). Naturally, the plan is to make your way through all the races by clearing them all, earning stars and collecting rewards along the way. The game’s main single-player mode is City Rumble, a series of races laid out over a large world map with multiple routes. That said, there’s just something about it (at launch, at least) that leaves us wanting a little bit more. Hot Wheels Unleashed is the latest attempt to digitise the toy series and it's probably the best Hot Wheels game to date. After all, when the whole brand revolves around collecting a wide variety of tiny cars then creating over-the-top tracks for them to race on, it’s fair to say that any game that manages to capture that essence of pure fun is well on its way to becoming a success. There are few licences out there that are better suited to a video game than Hot Wheels. ![]() ![]() You can then work your way down the list on the left, editing the icons to decide where you want it to live, and how big it should be.

![]() ![]() A camper is cargo – and a heavy and expensive piece of cargo. Instead, most pickup campers require retrofitting the pickup itself so you can tie down the camper. Until you’ve shopped for one yourself, it may not be apparent that pickup campers are expensive, but not necessarily for the reasons you might imagine. So it’s less likely to be affected by freezing temperatures, as long as the heating system is on in the camper. But nüCamp put this system behind an insulated door into an insulated compartment. You’ll find the Nautilus water management system used in this camper in many other RVs and, in particular, in fifth wheels. I like these windows for a lot of reasons, but primarily for the flexibility they provide. You can also open them and leave the screens and/or shades down. Those windows also feature integrated screens and shades. Like several other higher-end RVs and pickup campers, this one features dual-pane Lexan windows that flip up for air. However, it does a great job of keeping a space very comfortable without the dampness generated by a traditional propane heater. It’s very pleasant, but it does take longer to heat a cold space. This system is like some home systems in that it provides sort of a continual heat that radiates up from the floors through the use of glycol circulated throughout the system. On the subject of heat, this one features an Alde heater/water heater combination. ![]() One of the things nüCamp does a good job with is insulation, with this camper having heated tank enclosures. But that trailer has the benefit of five additional feet of length over this pickup camper.
