Abstract: Various embodiments of adjustable-weight fitness devices are described. A adjustable-weight fitness device may be implemented as a fitness hammer having an elongated handle coupled to head at a distal end of the handle. Weight plates are placed over the handle and rest on or inside the head. The resistance provided by the fitness hammer is adjustable, depending on how many weight plates are installed. The adjustable-weight fitness device may be implemented as a fitness kettle bell having a hand grip releasably coupled to a sleeve that is in turn coupled to a bottom plate of the head. The hand grip is removed in order to install one or more weight plates over the sleeve and then the hand grip is secured to the sleeve to form a functional kettle bell.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are disclosed. The compositions comprise a solid particulate chitin synthesis inhibitor and methods of using the chitin synthesis inhibitor to control a target pest. The chitin synthesis inhibitor is active in its solid form, and provides control of current and future pest generations independent of application timing with respect to insect life stage.
