Unlike a slow cooker, the pressure cooker cooks super fast, and we’ve done everything from traditional roasts and vegies to cheesecakes! I can even make fresh yogurt in the model we have. Loved learning about the convection oven! Definitely something to get with our next travel trailer.Īnother kitchen cooking tool we recently found to be quite life-saving is the electric pressure cooker. If you want to check out all of our other kitchen gadgets, or see our coffee set up, (we’re self proclaimed coffee nerds), visit our Awesome Gear Store. Of course this isn’t every gadget I use, but it is all of the larger items I use around the kitchen pretty much everyday. No matter what the temperature is outside, as long as there is sun you can bake or roast away! See it on Amazon: In as little as 15 minuets the oven will preheat to 350 degrees and is ready to go. Why I Love It: This sun powered oven isn’t for everybody but if you love Wild Camping, then this is the best outdoor oven! It’s perfect for dry camping, or hot summer days, because it doesn’t require electricity and all the heat from cooking stays outside of the RV. (add nuts or dried fruit for extra pizzazz) Settings: 1.5 lb loaf size /Basic setting #1 / light crustĪdd wet ingredients first, dry ingredients next and yeast last. When someone invites us over for dinner or offers up a free parking space, we like to say thanks with a fresh warm loaf of bread! See it on Amazon: In less than 10 minutes I can toss in a few ingredients, set it and walk away! This machine works great and will turn anyone into a rock star baker! Plus as full time travelers we don’t exactly carry gifts. Why I Love It: Nothing beats fresh baked bread and this inexpensive bread maker is a no brainer. It claims you can cook pancakes and toast bread…but I much prefer my griddler for those tasks. I timed it just the other day and it only took 2 minutes to get to 400 degrees! That beats warming up an oven or even the convection oven any day for a small job! I use it primarily for baking and roasting. It holds perfect portions for 2-4 people, heats up super fast and bakes fantastic. Why I Love It: This is the perfect big function in a small package gadget. We’re Main Root, Reed’s or Izzy kinda peeps so we typically craft our own sodas with fresh juice. We don’t really like the Soda Stream brand soda mixers, but then again we don’t like most sodas. We’ve owned a Soda Stream since before we hit the road full time in the RV and we absolutely love it. Why I Love It: Skip the sugary soda’s from the store and make your own fresh sparkling drinks with real fruit! Perfect for cocktail mixers or a refreshing drink on a hot summer day. Maybe a whisk attachment and an actual prep chef? See it on Amazon: For the price, size and function, I don’t know what else you could ask for. I make bean dips, hummus, guacamole, pesto and lots of other goodies all using this little guy. It makes great smoothies, frozen margaritas and of course soups. I had a bullet and I donated it once I got this nifty gadget! I chop everything from onions, peppers and nuts in seconds (literally 2 seconds, any longer and its soup. Why I Love It: This is my blender, food processor and chopper. We’ve had this thing since 2010 and it’s still going strong! My only complaint is about the drip tray which is a cheap plastic separate piece so I threw it out and just use a bowl when necessary. Why I Love It: Panini’s, pancakes, toast, bagels, fish, tofu, veggies…we pretty much make everything that doesn’t need to be in a pan on this griddler. Only “downside” is you have to purchase an induction ready pan which are typically more expensive than a basic pan. I use this for anything you would use a normal burner or a crock pot for (that’s right it has a slow cooker mode). Seriously, don’t even test one unless you plan on owning one! You’ll be hooked! It’s supposedly safer and a more energy efficient way to cook. Why I Love It: Induction cooking is faster, holds steady temperatures and just better than any other electric or propane stove I have ever tired. So, without further ado, here are my favorite RV kitchen gadgets! Oh, and anything in blue is a link to the product for more details. Some were total flops while others have become my all time kitchen faves. No biggie right!?! Needless to say, I have gone through a lot of kitchen gadgets and appliances. Of course I want all this without sacrificing quality or taste, I can’t have anything big or bulky and must be travel friendly. I love to cook, bake, grill, blend and just about anything that has to do with food and drinks! I also love anything that saves me time, money and makes whipping up gourmet meals a little easier.

Split up the feedback you received into concrete tasks. Start filling the reviewer comments into the left column. (You can also opt for categorising the comments thematically, or in line with different sections of your paper.) Reviewer comment Change / answer The easiest way is to create a table for each reviewer, with a column for each point that the reviewer raises, and one to explain how you address the comment in your revision. You do not want to read the whole peer review over and over again while working on revising your manuscript. The next step is to turn lengthy reviewer comments into actionable steps. Step 2: Turn reviewer comments into actionable steps It is easy to feel overwhelmed, but the following steps make the process easier. Additionally, reviewers may ask for many different changes and can even have conflicting opinions. Reading critical feedback on a manuscript can be upsetting and emotionally challenging. Editors want to see that authors take these reviewers’ comments seriously, and change their manuscript accordingly. This feedback can range from several bullet points to several pages of written text. While revising a manuscript can be annoying, the end result is often an improved academic paper.Īuthors tend to receive feedback from at least two external reviewers. The whole peer review system has been established to uphold academic standards and academic integrity. Receiving minor and even major revisions is a cause for celebrations: It means that a paper will most likely be published.įirst, however, your paper has to be improved. In fact, a manuscript has to go through many stages before it is published, and revising it is an essential part of this process. Manuscripts are hardly ever accepted for publication without any revisions.

Remember Party Crasher where Gabriel seemed almost horrified that there were feeling of joy in his house? There is definitely something wrong here. The man can’t ever seem to stand seeing Adrien happy. I think there is an element of jealousy there too. This is all kinds of wrong in itself and shows just how selfish the man has become by sacrificing Adrien’s happiness for his own gains. (It’s important to note, Gabriel does not know Marinette is Ladybug at this point, but Adrien does.) Gabriel has zero regard in breaking is own son’s heart in order to create this ultimate akuma. In the alternate timeline where Adrien and Marinette are a couple Gabriel stoops to a new low by forcing Marinette to break up with his son in order to akumatized her. There has been a distinct turn in Gabriel’s character since Feast and he is becoming more evil. This is just pure power greed on Gabriel’s part and had nothing to do with saving Emilie. Over the course of the season he has become focused not only on the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous, but finding the Guardian and taking the whole Miracle Box. Keep in mind, this was only one timeline of events that could have happened. However, this episode shows us just how far Gabriel could sink as a person. ♦️Gabriel/Hawk Moth: I think it’s fair to say that many of us felt at least a little sorry for Gabe and his attempts to save his wife. Unfortunately, none of this timeline should ever have taken place when it did, which is why Bunnyx returns. She now knows that Chat is Adrien and falls into his arms. (Can we just acknowledge how awesome Gorilla is! It’s not the first time we have seen him soft on Adrien and he really is the only decent adult in that house) When Adrien runs after Marinette he sees an akuma and without a second thought transforms to cataclysm it. The heartbreak on both sides is devastating. Marinette knows how detrimental that would be for Adrien. We see them happy together until Gabriel interferes forcing Marinette to leave him by threatening to take him out of school. As I pointed out in my analysis of Puppeteer 2 it was really important to him that Marinette liked him. He told her he always felt she was more than a friend. I do believe though this confirmed his feeling towards Marinette. It’s obvious Adrien has been harbouring feelings for Marinette, but his blind loyalty to Ladybug always kept him at bay. When he realises Ladybug is Marinette he couldn’t be happier, running straight to her to confess his love. ♦️Adrienette: This episode really showed just what a beautiful person Adrien is. This sets off a chain reaction that affects the future. She doesn’t realise at this point that Adrien saw her. She takes too long, running back to sign her name on it before jumping out the window. ♦️The mistake: Marinette makes the decision to use her abilities as Ladybug to get into Adrien’s room in order to leave him a present. ♦️Production order: According to production order, this episode was supposed to air after ’Puppeteer 2’ then to be followed by ‘Felix’, ‘Ladybug’, ‘Heart Hunter’ and ‘Miracle Queen’. Let’s break down the episode and what we learned: Without a doubt, ‘Chat Blanc’ has been the most anticipated episode of season 3 and possibly in the history of Miraculous - and it didn’t disappoint! This super emotionally charged episode gave us a glimpse into an alternative reality where identities and secrets are revealed, and the aftermath of this information coming out at the wrong time.

Additionally, the game's new "side quests" are mostly collect-a-thons. This time around, that stretch gets lengthened by an uninteresting fetch quest. The original game had only a tiny gap between the first and second bosses, creating a sense of breathless tension. Some additions to the Village section felt like padding. The designers also moved away from the original's reliance on quick-time events.īut I do have my gripes. While the first half of the adventure mostly plays it straight, the back half takes risks with altered enemy designs, reworked boss encounters (or, in one case, a boss that was removed entirely), and completely new scenarios. The developers rely on knowledge of the original game's beats to surprise and delight. Outside of some very specific gameplay additions and changes, which I definitely won't spoil, this remake is pure fan service. You might not even remember what's new and what isn't: it's that seamless. Added fog and darker lighting give the game more of a straight-up horror feel. The remake is substantially bigger, stitching together a world that feels more connected and organic. When the original Resident Evil 4 released, games didn't feel anywhere near as padded as they do today. I worried the remake would dilute that delicate alchemy. The game bursts with inventive ideas, enemies, and scenarios, and rolls them out relentlessly over roughly 15 hours. The magic of the original Resident Evil 4 lies in its pacing. Despite his new emo look, Leon certainly feels more like an outrageous action hero than ever before. Using a knife to deflect the same chainsaw that lopped my head off in 2005 looks and feels ridiculous, just as it should. Leon does get a new parry mechanic to even the odds, which allows you to block almost any attack with a well-timed button press. There are brand new enemies this time around, while some others get a complete makeover. While that limitation never bothered me, it's become a sticking point for new players. But unlike those games, Leon can't move while aiming. Back in 2005, it popularized the over-the-shoulder perspective later seen in classics like Gears of War and Dead Space. It was clear a Resident Evil 4 remake would modernize the original game's revolutionary (but now dated) control scheme. They've succeeded not by playing it safe, but by taking big design swings that make it feel like a brand new game. Resident Evil 4 is a victory lap for what has been called the new "golden age" of Capcom. So this remake had to do the impossible: please fans of one of the most celebrated games of all time, while standing on its own merits.įor the most part, it does just that. How? And more importantly, why? Resident Evil 4 still plays like a dream, has many good ports, and even recently got an HD makeover by way of a brilliantly realized fan project. But when it was announced last year, I was skeptical. We all knew a Resident Evil 4 remake was on the table.

There also exists a Bug Tracker page, where users can report bugs and track any status updates. Users of the software get easy access to technical documents, changelog, operation manuals, FAQs, and more. Typical to all such software programs, these communities create a wide range of information and help. VirtualBox is open-source software, which means that it has a vast online community. While paid software offers much better integration between the host and guest OS, VirtualBox offers all the necessary tools needed for virtualization. This means that if a virtual machine is vulnerable to a virus attack, the host system isn't compromised. VirtualBox doesn’t offer a deep integration option, which is quite an advantage if you’re concerned about privacy. For instance, if you wanted to install Windows 10 or even Windows 7 using VirtualBox, adding the final touches would take time.įortunately, the software offers different guided modes, so users have some help when they need it. The process also requires patience on the part of the users. Users don’t have the option to automate certain features and have to go at it manually. One of the biggest challenges of running the free version of VirtualBox is creating a guest operating system. You can even use different customization options to personalize the user interface of the guest OS. It provides users with the option to create a multi-platform or collated server, useful for testing and development. VirtualBox supports numerous operating systems including Linux, macOS, and Oracle Solaris hosts. Apart from this, the software also offers various tools to fix bugs and increase the performance of your virtual machines. By setting a limit, you can ensure that the virtual OS doesn’t drain your system resources. With VirtualBox, you can reduce or limit the CPU and IO time of any virtual machine that you’re running. The File option gives users access to the media manager, preference module, as well as import and export features. The latest version of the software allows you to scale the display, so you can reduce the size of the window and still make out everything. Once you do that, a module pops up and asks you to choose the type of operating system you want to load as well as its unique name. Adding a virtual machine is as easy as pressing CTRL and N together. You can use the Machine option to create your first guest operating system. VirtualBox has a clean interface with three primary menus, which include Machine, File, and Help. Once installed, the software offers a great user experience so you can run different operating systems and applications from your native PC environment. You can choose to either install the software or add support for USB and different types of networking, including host-only, bridge, and conventional. The installation only takes about 5 minutes on a computer with 2GB RAM. In case you’re inexperienced, you may have to go through the manual provided by Oracle. Installing VirtualBox and another operating system is quite easy if you’re technologically savvy. Owing to the snapshot feature, users can easily switch to an old snapshot and avoid frequent backups whenever something goes wrong. They can even use the full performance of their desktops by packing multiple virtual machines onto a few hosts while saving up on a lot of hardware costs. Users can run an old operating system like Windows 8 on their Windows 10 device, or test an OS before installing it fully. It also offers all the features that make virtualization attractive. Additionally, you can use the tool to run applications you would otherwise not have access to. When you download VirtualBox for Windows, you can easily run Mac and Linux operating systems on your native Windows device. With VirtualBox, you can create a representation of an operating system that significantly reduces hardware costs while boosting agility and efficiency. With VirtualBox, users can harness the power of virtualization from their home computers. Nowadays, virtual machines are becoming an integral part of businesses as well as cloud computing solutions. Increase agility and reduce hardware costs VirtualBox is quite popular and also available for download on devices running macOS. It’s updated regularly by its community of users, and Oracle ensures that the released product meets professional standards. It’s a feature-rich product and is one of the only professional virtualization tools available as open-source software. Developed by the Oracle Corporation, the tool lets users run different operating systems on their computers. VirtualBox is free, enterprise-ready virtualization software for Windows users. With all the recent changes and improvements, as well as with the ten-year support, Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS is a prime candidate for enterprise-level deployments, for all stages from development to production. Various apps have received updates as well. 20.04 LTS also includes improved support for IPv6 on Microsoft Azure. With the launch of Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS, users now benefit from a new official Ubuntu Server Guide.Ģ0.04 LTS also provides support for all major architectures such as 圆4-64, ARM v7, ARM64, POWER 8, POWER 9, IBM x390x (LinuxONE) and introduces initial support for RISC-V, as well as support for the latest version of IMDS (instance metadata service). Other smaller, yet still noteworthy changes In 20.04 LTS, it allows writing the bootloader to multiple disks, which is bound to result in fewer failures in systems with multiple disks. Historically, Unbutu installers only allowed writing the bootloader to a single disk. WireGuard provides such great value for enterprise-level infrastructure that it will even be backported to 18.04 LTS. WireGuard VPN is now included in Ubuntu Server. This ensures that password leaks and other types of potential SSH-related leaks are kept to a minimum, and improves the overall security provided by SSH. Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS is the first version of the distribution that supports hardware-based two-factor authentication for SSH. It now provides an automatic update system, meaning the system can update itself each time it boots. The ten years of constant security updates provided by the UA-I subscription is a big reason for this, as it ensures a stable and reliable platform for both app deployment and server infrastructure.Īnother big change is the Ubuntu Server Live Installer. Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 LTS is set to be one of the most stable, secure, and long-lasting Ubuntu server distro. dnf install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-web-mysql zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-sql-scripts. The latest LTS (long-term release) is the Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) is set to receive constant support and updates until 2025, and users can even extend this period by an additional five years through the ESM (Extended Security Maintenance) program.Įnhanced general security and stability, a new feature called Ubuntu Server Life installer, and a more flexible, hardy bootloader are just some highlights for this release of Ubuntu Server. Rocky Linux SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Ubuntu Ubuntu (arm64). Launched on October 20, 2004, Ubuntu Server has come a very long way in terms of usage and technology. Even though the Desktop versions of Ubuntu steal the show, so to speak, it's actually the Server version of Ubuntu that's the unsung hero. This presented more of a reason to practice proper donning techniques, breath control and overall mental toughness. The masks were equipped with a padded nose clip, a bite piece, and were said to have been far more difficult to don and tolerate for long periods of time compared to modern masks. During that period of time, Soldiers used small box respirator gas masks that were manufactured by the British. More than 2 million men were drafted to serve in WWI. Chemical Warfare Service was founded during WWI with its name being changed in 1946 to the Chemical Corps. “Rumors were going around like your eyes could fall out or you would be perfectly fine and just die the next day,” said Ouellette. People were said to have commonly suffered from, “gas mania” and “gas fright,” meaning they reacted defensively during times when there was no actual threat of poisonous gas. Common gasses used as weapons during the war included phosgene, chlorine and mustard gas, commonly known as “the king of battle gases.”Īccording to Ouellette, the level of psychological terror for chemical warfare during the WWI era was far different than how we view potential gas threats in modern-day times. Soldiers must be ready and capable to conduct a full range of military operations to defeat all enemies regardless of the threats they pose, even chemical threats. This iconic photo was mimicked by 655th RSG Soldiers, followed by a game of gas mask baseball, to honor the WWI Soldiers and their training methods that were to raise awareness, knowledge and confidence in dealing with poisonous gas.ĬBRN hazards come in a variety of guises and varying methods of release. This photograph displays Soldiers posing outside the Gas Defense Plant in Long Island City, N.Y., which assembled more than 3 million gas masks during the time frame of the war. National Archives, tagged under chemical warfare service and drills, is said to have been captured by Underwood and Underwood. The historic 1918 snapshot found in the U.S. “This was somebody’s idea and it took off because everybody likes playing baseball,” said Ouellette, “It’s just a fun game!” She later found that baseball games were used as training aids and morale boosters for military personnel during WWI. “The Influence of America’s Game on the Country’s Chemical Training in WWI,” she discovered a historic military photograph from 1918 showcasing Soldiers posing in gas masks with baseball bats and mittens in hand. While conducting research for her senior thesis, She is currently an undergraduate student at the American Military University, slated to graduate in May with a bachelor’s degree in history. Aimee Ouellette, Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) and safety noncommissioned officer with the 655th RSG. The idea for the historical recreation was spawned from U.S. 12, 2020, at Joint Training Center-Jordan, paying tribute to former service members who used the sport to prepare for chemical warfare during WWI. Army Soldiers with 655th Regional Support Group, 316th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), 377th Theater Sustainment Command, donned their gas masks and participated in an improvised game of baseball Feb.

Until all four shards become fully active (and decentralized), we can't know for certain whether Harmony is truly the quickest, cheapest smart contract blockchain. Currently, only three of Harmony's four shards are processing transactions. The blockchain gaming possibilities will only broaden when Harmony introduces ZK rollup privacy features, but first the network has to prove it can scale. With several metaverse gaming projects building on Harmony, it will be interesting to see how the network handles the stress of multiple demanding applications. Despite lack of adoption and poor price action, Harmony is setting itself up for success by appealing to a broader usebase by developing new features rather than relying on flashy marketing. Even beyond those two massive projects, this is the value proposition touted by almost every smart contract blockchain competing against Ethereum. We've already got Cardano vs Solana duking it out over the Ethereum-killer title. Harmony's mission to be the faster, cheaper alternative to Ethereum is an uphill battle. Finally, the 441 million ONE rewarded to network validators every year consist of newly minted ONE and Harmony transaction fees. The rest of the initial ONE supply was used for the seed sale, initial exchange offerings, and protocol development, totaling around 7.71 billion. Over 2.1 billion ONE was awarded to the Harmony team on a vesting schedule ending December 2022 and the over 2.7 billion tokens set aside for ecosystem operators will finish vesting in May 2025. Harmony also has a burning mechanism that removes part of each transaction fee from circulation (similar to Ethereum), but ONE is far from deflationary. Proper distribution of the ONE token is important for keeping the network secure and safe from attackers, so it's crucial that the over 12 billion ONE coins in circulation stay (mostly) in the right hands. Tokenomics are something that can make or break proof of stake blockchains, and Harmony is no different.
