Ultimately, the Hypervolt 2 Pro isn’t quite as capable as the Elite, but it’s still a solid investment. This happens to be Hyperice’s top-of-the-line massage gun, yet they couldn’t even ship it with a case? It’s a bit frustrating, as is the fact that you can’t easily turn the speed dial on the back of the massager with one hand. The one disappointment I can’t overlook is the lack of a carrying case. “I feel really good about people actually spending money on it, too.” “The Hyperice is a really nice, in that it's definitely good quality, but I don't feel like it's ridiculous to suggest that someone buys it,” notes Dr. I imagine this feature comes in handy if you own a gym or manage a team of athletes who will be using a massage gun frequently, but most of us probably don’t need a spare battery. You could theoretically pick up a second battery to keep the percussive relief going for hours. ![]() Power comes courtesy of a battery pack in the handle to recharge it, you press a small button to eject the battery like a gun magazine. The gun is ergonomic, although it’s definitely a bit heavier in-hand than the Elite, and the build quality is superb. The Hypervolt 2 Pro looks like a traditional massage gun and offers a predictable, solid experience across the board. The Hypervolt 2 Pro has a unique battery pack that you can swap out so you never find yourself. Hyperice also doesn’t list the Hypervolt 2’s amplitude, so I couldn’t compare amplitude on this massager to others I tested. But it doesn’t quite beat the Theragun Elite to the finish line-it weighs half a pound more and doesn’t come with a carrying case. To be sure, Hyperice’s top-of-the-line massage gun is powerful, and it delivers a satisfying, consistent massage every time, with features that match the Elite, like five speed settings and five attachment heads. Hyperice and Therabody are the top names in this space, which might explain why the Hyperice Hypervolt 2 Pro looks a lot like the Theragun Elite’s little sibling, at least on paper. You require a massage gun with a higher stall force.You’d like a massage gun with a carrying case.High amplitude that delivers a deeper massage.Uninterrupted use, thanks to a removable battery.Speeds: 5 | Attachments: 5 | Amplitude: Unlisted | Weight: 2.6 pounds | Battery life: 180 minutes | Warranty: 1-year limited And because it sits in the middle of Therabody’s lineup of triangular massage guns, you can drop down to the Prime model (if you want to spend a little less) or upgrade to the Pro (for more features). Still, it may be worth the investment for the best massage gun you can get. I imagine this will come in handy as you learn the ropes, but you’ll probably use it a lot less once you understand the ins and outs of the massager.Īt $399 (when it isn’t on sale), the Theragun Elite’s high price tag is tough to ignore. It only took a minute to download the app and establish a connection, and once I did, it was easy to customize the gun’s speed, cycle through guided programs and take advantage of its many features, all from the app. But because the Theragun Elite is Bluetooth enabled, you can pair it with your phone and control its functions through the Therabody app. Of course, a massage gun this expensive comes with a laundry list of features, some of which are harder to access than others. Therabody pairs the Elite with five attachments-a dampener, standard ball, thumb, cone and wedge-that are made from a forgiving, closed-cell foam that’s softer and more malleable than the hard plastic attachments on other massagers I tested. The Theragun Elite has a button on the handle that I found was easier to use for changing modes or.

"It was not in our plans to think that the permafrost would not be there and that it would experience extreme weather like that," Hege Njaa Aschim of the Norwegian government told the Guardian.Īccording to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Arctic has warmed by six degrees since 1900, with a big part of the warming fueled by man-made climate change.īut for now, the vault is safe, Norway government representatives announced in a press release. » RELATED: Arctic sea ice shrinking to lowest levels ever for third straight year When temperatures rose above normal in Spring 2017, permafrost meltwater runoff flooded the entrance of the vault and threatened the seeds stored in the vault. The Global Crop Diversity Trust (Crop Trust), Nordic Gene Bank (NordGen) and an international advisory council help manage the facility, its funding and operations. The Global Seed Vault, which opened in 2008 was administered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food on behalf of the Kingdom of Norway and reportedly cost approximately $9 million to build. One room in the vault houses seeds for more than 150,000 different varieties of wheat. It has the capacity to store 4.5 million seed samples with each sample containing about 500 seeds, so, according to the Crop Trust, a maximum of 2.25 billion seeds can be stored in the vault. More than 930,000 varieties of food crops are stored in the Global Seed Vault. » RELATED: How Georgians can watch the rare total solar eclipse this summer The vault is about 400 feet deep inside the mountain.

If disease pandemics, asteroid crashes, climate change or any other global catastrophes were to ensue, the seeds stored in the Global Seed Vault could be the source for humans to regrow the crops needed for survival.īut the vault was actually intended as a secure storage space for samples of other crop and plant collections at risk. ![]() ![]() What happens if you don’t harden off plants? Seedlings that have been grown in controlled conditions indoors (in a sunny window, under grow lights, or in a greenhouse) haven’t fully developed the cuticle and need time to build up their “armor” against environmental disturbances.īy gradually exposing seedlings to the outside elements, you stimulate their natural defenses and give them time to adapt to their new environment. Why? For this simple reason: All plants have a protective waxy coating on the leaves (called a cuticle) that repels water, reduces the rate of dehydration, and filters harmful ultraviolet light. They need to toughen up before you fling them into the deep end of the pool, so to speak. Up until this point, your seedlings have been protected from wind, rain, cold, heat, and intense sunlight. You don’t want to transplant seedlings directly in the garden without “weaning” them first, and this goes for vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Hardening off your seedlings is the vital step of acclimating them to the outdoors to assure their survival. What does it mean to harden off seedlings? Shortcut #2: Use a portable “mini greenhouse” to protect your seedlings outside.Shortcut #1: Transplant your seedlings outside during a period of cloudy weather.How to harden off seedlings in less than 7 days with these garden shortcuts.Day 6: Set your seedlings outside all day and all night.Day 5: Set your seedlings outside in full sun all day.Day 4: Set your seedlings outside in full sun for 5 to 6 hours.Day 3: Set your seedlings outside in full sun for 4 hours.Day 2: Set your seedlings outside in partial to full sun for 3 hours.Day 1: Set your seedlings outside in dappled or partial sun for 2 to 3 hours.Day 0: Start hardening off seedlings when they’re a couple inches tall with their first set of true leaves.How long do you have to harden off plants?.Do you need to harden off plants purchased from a nursery?.What happens if you don’t harden off plants?.What does it mean to harden off seedlings?. Step 18: 2 minutes later, with the help of a grinder and cut-off wheel, the old cross member was out of the way. While overall happy with the frame, the seat cross member was crooked by a full 1/4”. Step 17: One detriment to a repop frame, depending on who makes it and where is that some quality can suffer. Step 16: The final front end all assembled and in place is quite the difference from the stock hydra glide forks and lightens up the entire bike considerably. The frame was then drilled and tapped to accept a small set screw which holds each in place. Step 14 & 15: As the holes for the seat post and tach cable were not going to be used, some aluminum round stock was turned down on the lathe for some stepped blanking plugs. Drilling out the threads on holes you are going to fill ensures that you get the grime and oil out, resulting in a clean weld. Step 13: Stock gauge mounting points were cut off of the top tree, the remainder of the threaded holes welded up and the whole area smoothed on a belt sander. The hex stock was welded to the front of the neck, and the whole setup will be very subtle once the headlight is installed. The lower tree was drilled, the pins pressed in and welded from the bottom after having some detail added to them on the lathe. Step 11 & 12: Fork stops were needed, and a bit of steel round and hex stock were the solution. Step 10: The final TIG welds with good penetration, and kept just shy of flush to the OD of the stem so the bottom bearing will go on and off with ease. Step 9: Heavy chamfers on each piece ensure good weld penetration, and a V-block is essential for making sure the stem is straight and true. A piece of 1” OD cold rolled steel turned down on the lathe made for a slug, perfect for the job. Step 8: To run the early 1950's Triumph forks on an H-D frame, the Triumph stem needs to be extended by about 1/2”. The key to a project like this is a variety of tools, and remember that power tools are not always the best choice, the file and hacksaw can be your friend. Step 7: Note that the cast lug was also cut off the top of the neck to clean things up a bit. You could also cut small patch pieces and weld them in place if desired instead of using straight filler. Step 6: TIG welding the holes in the neck, though a MIG would work just as well. The holes from the bore for the fork lock are open and exposed and will need to welded shut. Step 5: Grinding and filing away the rough edges, being careful not to bite into the neck more than necessary. Step 4: A variety of tools to smooth out the metal in the tight crevices of the neck were used: pneumatic die grinder, hand files and a Dremel with assorted attachments. Drilled a hole in each corner of the cast area and connected the dots with a jigsaw. Step 3: Windowing the neck seemed like a fun and motivating place to start. Step 2: Started with a repop wishbone frame, cheaper and easier to find than an OG frame. Step 1: I picked up a '59 Harley-Davidson FLH motor, trans and title in a later frame complete with tons of junky bolt on parts. Tyler Build the Frame for Your Custom Chopper I hope you enjoy watching the build unfold. This build was all done in a tiny one bay workshop behind my house, which was part of the outbuilding where Lowbrow Customs was housed for a number of years. I had Jesse Bassett at The Gasbox rebuild the motor and I was off to a rolling start. I ended up getting a good deal on it, trading the rolling chassis for some carpentry work, and selling off all the rest of the bits and pieces I didn't want. ![]() I kept seeing this bike on Craigslist as a titled '59 FLH, though the motor looked roached and it was in a late 60's swingarm frame and festooned with lots of aftermarket reproduction Harley parts loosely bolted in place. I dug this up and figured it was worth sharing, as it shows steps all along the process, from a basket case Panhead bought locally on Craigslist on to the finished chopper which I still enjoy.Īt the time, I had never owned a Harley-Davidson, having a number of Triumph motorcycles, as well as a random assortment of BSA, Yamaha, and other makes over the years. I took these photos and wrote the associated words back in 2011 or so, which ended up as a four-part build article in Hot Bike magazine. There were a number of direct inspirations for the film. Miller sees the growth in digital effects as the greatest change in film technology since the coming of sound and Happy Feet set out to take that technology further than any film had done before. All of the film, except for a few shots of humans, was generated in computers. There are obvious similarities in the overall shape of the story – a pig that wants to herd sheep, a penguin that wants to dance – but Happy Feet leaps much more wholeheartedly into the digital possibilities of computer animation. Happy Feet is much more than an extension of the winning formula that George Miller discovered with Babe. Mumble will see many amazing things before he returns to his home. A fat Rockhopper penguin called Lovelace (also voiced by Robin Williams), who’s slowly being strangled by a plastic tie around his neck, joins their quest. He is adopted by five fun-loving Argentinian Adelie penguins, led by the pint-sized Ramon (voiced by Robin Williams), who teach him how to party. He has heard a rumour from the large and frightening Boss Skua (voiced by Anthony LaPaglia) that aliens inhabit the earth. His mother Norma Jean (voiced by Nicole Kidman) is heartbroken.Ī dejected Mumble leaves the colony, determined to find out why the fish are disappearing. Worse, Mumble (voiced by Elijah Wood) is banished by the elders, who think his dancing is responsible for their shortage of fish. He knows he can dance better than any penguin alive, but as his father Memphis (voiced by Hugh Jackman) tells him, dancing ‘just ain’t penguin’. His friend Gloria (voiced by Brittany Murphy) has a glorious voice, but Mumble can never hope to attract a mate without a ‘heart song’, the personal tune that all Emperor penguins must have. Mumble is the only Emperor penguin chick in Antarctica who can’t sing. Happy Feet is partly about being free to express yourself within a community that’s tolerant of difference. The messages may seem at first contradictory – the film endorses both a strong sense that communities need to work (and huddle) together to survive, and that the individual must go his or her own way, standing out from the crowd – but the two ideas are not really exclusive. ![]() Many of the characters have vulnerabilities, as well as strengths, and a large part of the meaning of the film is concerned with conquering fears and developing these innate talents. This highly developed sense of psychology is one of the hallmarks of the film. He later blames his son’s behaviour on the same fear. ![]() Memphis’s fear when Mumble is late to hatch is that he has doomed the egg, because he dropped it briefly during the long winter. The winter fast for the males can last up to 134 days, during which they must keep the egg off the ice. Male Emperors do protect their egg, and then the hatched chick, by balancing it on their feet, while the female is at sea, feeding. The film was inspired in part by the BBC’s 1993 nature series about Antarctica ( Life in the Freezer) and it sticks close to biological reality about the life cycle of the Emperor penguin, the largest species of penguin and the only one that breeds in winter in Antarctica. ![]() Then new IDs with start from this value + 1ĪLTER TABLE table_name AUTO_INCREMENT = new_start_value If a value larger than the current max ID value is explicitly inserted, LAST_INSERT_ID returns ID for the first successfully inserted row in multi-row INSERT LAST_INSERT_ID returns the last value inserted in the current session DOUBLE and FLOAT are allowed but deprecated.
