![]() ![]() These braces are made to fit your teeth’s form and size. Similar in visibility, they’re especially popular with grownups because they’re virtually undetectable when you grin because they’re positioned at the back of your teeth. Lingual braces, sometimes known as “inner” braces, are braces that are put behind the teeth. As part of treatment, you’ll be required to wear the aligners for at least 22 hours per day, but they are removable for the remaining 2 hours of the day when it comes to eating and cleaning your teeth. The dentist develops a mould of your smile and designs the aligners for you to wear as part of the treatment. Invisalign clear aligners are constructed of BPA-thermoplastic and are used to straighten teeth and correct minor misalignment. When you hear about invisible braces, you’re hearing about Invisalign braces, ceramic braces or lingual braces. They are designed to be less visible to the public compared to traditional braces. In this case, invisible braces are braces that come with a minimal appearance. Invisible means something that you can’t see. The term invisible braces have become an umbrella term for multiple orthodontic options. ![]() It may well be the first time you’ve heard of invisible braces, and you’re likely to want to know more, such how do Invisalign work, what is the cost of Invisalign, particularly if you’re considering an alternative to traditional metal braces, so let’s give you the lowdown about invisible braces and whether invisible braces work. Invisible braces are one of those options. Multiple orthodontic options may be a better fit for you. Traditional braces would be the best bet until now. With this orthodontic treatment, we rehabilitate the altered action of the facial muscles and tongue through exercises and custom equipment for the patient.If your teeth are crooked or misaligned, you will likely be put forward for orthodontic treatment.

![]() But even so, one would think that the equipment would be sent for overnight delivery as a simple courtesy for Kia customers. I was told that it would take around 5 business days to get a new switch! That is a clear indication that certain essential parts for this car are not being stocked regionally. So that should be quickly rectifiable, right? Wrong. They had to coordinate for several days with engineers at Kia central headquarters before diagnosing the issue as a defective starter button. They admitted that the hybrid was so new that they were not really familiar with the technology of the vehicle. The dealership was initially unable to figure out the source of the problem. The bottom line is that it was almost 24 hours before the car was to get to the Kia service center.īut that was just the start of the odyssey. Needless to say, most tow trucks do not come equipped with these mechanisms. The driver had to employ a wheel lift and dollies to transport the car to the dealership. That truck did not arrive until late the following morning. I was then promised a third truck that would be properly equipped to deal with the issue. Well, after waiting another two hours, that second driver appeared and simply went through the same futile motions. To return to the narrative, the first tow driver departed and informed me that he had called for a second truck to come out. That is a very fundamental design problem. But as far as anyone can tell (and that includes the local Kia dealers and the national Kia road service personnel), this car lacks that feature. Normally, such a vehicle will also be equipped with a "shift lock release" somewhere on the console or dash to compensate for this and to allow an emergency shift to neutral. Without power, there is no way to shift the car to neutral. The car was designed with an unusual rotary shift dial on the center console. The driver tried, also without success, to jump start the car, then tried to shift the car to neutral so that it could be towed in the normal fashion. After the usual two hour wait, a tow truck did arrive. I wound up contacting the Kia road service that was part of the warranty, fearing wisely that the car might ultimately have to be towed all the way to a Kia dealership. The interior lights worked, but the car was otherwise as dead as a doornail. On my fifth day of ownership, I repeatedly tried to start the car without success. I am pleased with the ride quality, and the six passenger seating comes in handy with the grandkids (though I would have preferred seven passenger bench seating). Not something that I have elected to use, but it might come in handy for those wishing to take a cat nap while driving. There are even two levels of lane-assist driving. The Sorento is also equipped with numerous interesting technological features. ![]() ![]() The gas station trips will be few and far between. Amazingly enough, that is even better than the mileage my Sorento hybrid had afforded, despite the Sorento being a larger vehicle. Despite the reports from some owners of disappointing fuel economy, I have been getting 40 MPG. The Sorento hybrid is an impressive vehicle. My wife was the pleased owner of a Kia, so when I saw a 2022 Sorento hybrid become available at a relatively good price, I decided to make the switch from my Sonata. I had driven a Hyundai Sonata hybrid for many years and loved the car. ![]() Stops all telescopes, but without removing them like deleteAllTelescopes().Ĭhecks if there's a TelescopeClient object at a given slot, i.e. Starts a telescope at the given slot, getting its description with getTelescopeAtSlot().

It was the point of departure for me as an artist. (O.S.) Drawing has been the base for everything. (A.B.) What has been the role of drawing throughout your career as a designer, animator and painter? The images above are animation stills created by Estudio Flex, Osvaldo was in the role of art director. (O.S.) It was very important because graphic design gave me a strong foundation in design principles, aesthetics and visual narrative. How did your formation as a graphic designer influence you as an animator? (A.B.) You graduated as a graphic designer but most of your career in the applied arts has been in animation. This degree was offered through the School of Fine Arts. As I researched my options, I found that the university offered a graphic design degree which was the perfect blend of both worlds (communication and design). (O.S.) Initially when I was faced with the task of choosing a major at the University of Costa Rica, I was leaning towards communications but was also interested in the fine arts and considered studying both. (A.B.) What motivated you to choose a career in the Visual Arts? I am so happy that we get to collaborate through this interview, let’s get started: Thank you for agreeing to be a featured artist in my blog. You can find more information on Osvaldo Sequeira’s work online through the following links: This is why I am very excited about featuring my friend and colleague through this interview. Osvaldo’s professional accomplishments are proof of this and I find his career very inspiring. I strongly believe that a strong foundation in drawing, color, design and creative thinking can take and artist or designer through many paths. We became friends in college as graphic design students at the University of Consta Rica’s School of Fine Arts and have kept our friendship through the years along with several of our peers.Īs an artist and college professor in the Visual Arts (more specifically in Foundation Studies), I believe that different disciplines in the arts feed each other and that the boundaries from one to the other are not as clear cut as some may think. In recent years, Osvaldo has solidified his studio practice as a painter and has exhibited his work in Costa Rica and abroad. Some of the courses offered through Santa Gráfica include character design, digital painting for comics, animal anatomy, painting, bookmaking and basic drawing among others. Osvaldo is also one of the founding members of Santa Gráfica, an art academy that offers courses that stem from the animation and sequential art industry. Through this studio, he has worked for the Costa Rican market and abroad. The work created by Estudio Flex has received prestigious awards outside of Costa Rica. He is a founding member of Estudio Flex, a Costa Rican animation studio with national and international recognition. ![]() After graduating, his professional path led to a successful career in animation that started with 2-D animation and then 3-D.

Scribus is now completely cross-platform and runs natively on Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2 Warp 4, eComStation, and Windows. ![]() You can make your PDF documents even more 'intelligent' by using Javascript from within Scribus. Scribus is also a great tool for authoring PDF documents with advanced features such as forms, buttons, passwords, and more. If you have Microsoft 365, you can try Publisher within your current license if not, we recommend trying a different alternative.Scribus will help design and produce magazines, newsletters, print advertising, brochures, calendars, and pretty much anything that requires text to look visually appealing on paper. Even Canva has more functionality and support than Publisher. While Adobe's Creative Suite may be pricier, the functionality there will allow you to do much more than Publisher. Similarly, with limited access to licensing to solely one PC and only through Windows 10 or 11, many will be excluded from using the tool. While Microsoft Publisher does a great job at providing a simple-to-use app for the budding designer, it's difficult to overlook the high price tag associated with the tool. Instead, we'd suggest visiting their site for direct support. However, this is often laggy and, in our case, simply didn't work sometimes. If you're struggling with a particular function or are curious about doing something within the app, you can search directly. Microsoft apps often have decent support in-app, and Publisher follows suit with their help section. As a standalone product, it is relatively expensive, especially when considering the range of functionality on offer compared with some of the more prominent apps on the market. However, finding Publisher on Microsoft's website can take some time as it's not generally part of their core marketing, making it seem like Microsoft simply isn't pushing it to newer audiences.Īnother consideration to take into account is if you don't currently own a Microsoft 365 license. The app is purchasable as a standalone product or as part of Microsoft 365. Publisher isn't updated as often as other applications and seems to be largely forgotten by Microsoft. An odd decision from Microsoft, but when looking at their update schedule compared to their more used apps, we may be able to see why this is. While Publisher is part of the 365 package, it can only be used on Windows 10 and 11. Unfortunately, many users will find themselves excluded from Publisher's target market. Minimal design knowledge is needed, with the drag and drop functionality doing most of the leg work. The top bar hosts most functionality options, including different color pallets, while drag and drop boxes make creating new documents a breeze. If you use other Microsoft 365 apps, it'll take even less time to understand where everything is and to use Publisher at its full potential. While Publisher doesn't look as clean or well designed as other apps, it does retain a similar feel to that of Word or Powerpoint.įortunately for users, the interface is easy to use, and it won't take long to get to grips with the various tabs and functionality on offer. Microsoft has always ensured that each new piece of software is on brand, and Publisher is no different. It also provides the tools and color pallets to customize these templates to fit your brand, giving you a shortcut to professional-looking documents that will wow at your next meeting. Even the most novice user can craft something professional by editing over the top of one of these templates. Publisher truly shines with its catalog of templates at your disposal.

Cellulose is broken down by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) that is produced during the breakdown of hemicellulose. Because white-rot fungi are able to produce enzymes, such as laccase, needed to break down lignin and other complex organic molecules, they have been investigated for use in mycoremediation applications.īrown-rot fungi break down hemicellulose and cellulose. "White-rot fungi break down the lignin in wood, leaving the lighter-colored cellulose behind some of them break down both lignin and cellulose. ![]() I'll copy a few Wikipedia quotes here, first white rot and brown rot fungi. I've tried to learn a bit about the stuff as I use it, first I think it's important to realize that not all decayed wood is the same, it will vary with species and with the types of decay fungi that broke it down.

The Japanese Society of Systematic Zoology. Proceedings of the Japanese Society of Systematic Zoology (Vol. A new species of the genus Eurypauropus (Pauropoda: Eurypauropodidae) from central Japan. The pauropods are one more group of organisms that, because of their lack of cuteness and “beauty”, do not attract the attention of the general public, and this is also reflected in the lack of interest in studying them by biologists in general. Newly hatched pauropods have only three pairs of legs, but this number increased at every mold until reaching, in the Japanese pauropod, the maximum of nine pairs. Based on information of other pauropods, mating probably occurs with the males depositing a spermatophore (a sperm-filled sac) on the substrate, which is then collected by the female to fertilize her eggs. Its diet is unknow, but it most likely feeds on fungi and, perhaps, live or decaying plant matter as well.ĭetails about its reproduction are unknown as well. Pauropods in general are not found in large densities, and I think the same applies to the Japanese pauropod. Like all pauropods, the Japanese pauropod avoids light, living in dark humid places in the forest soil, often inside and below rotten wood. The only photo of a pauropod determined to the species level, Eurypauropus japonicus, that I could find. The dorsal side is covered by five heavily sclerotized plates, which gives the impression that they have fewer segments. The adults have a pair of antennae and nine pairs of legs, one in each segment behind the head, except for the last (one, or two?) segment. The Japanese pauropod measures less than 2 mm in length, usually between 1.5 and 1.7 mm. I was unable to have easy access to good information of any species, so I decided to talk about the only one of which I found a good photograph and that was determined to the species level, Eurypauropus japonicus, which I decided to call the Japanese pauropod. These very small arthropods measure only a few milimeters in length and belong to the subphylum Myriapoda, being related to the most popular centipedes and milipedes. ![]() We reached one more moment in which things get a little disheartening because it is time to talk about another group of neglected organisms, the pauropods. When such happen, and you don’t know the old Discord server, you will need the tips explained in this guide to see your old Discord servers. Sometimes, it may happen that you left a server by mistake. Conclusionĭiscord servers are great places to meet with your close friends and families or other people with whom you share a common interest. However, if you left a server because you got banned, it would be impossible to rejoin using the banned account. If you left the server by mistake, you can text the owner and request to rejoin the server. Most Discord servers are private, and you may find it challenging to rejoin unless you get invited. If you have never deleted such messages, you can know the old Discord servers by checking on the links. The last option you can try to find your Old Discord servers is checking the invites you sent previously to your friends. You can search messages from the data package that can give you the channel ID you can use to search for the old Discord server on Google. The data package contains all the messages you sent unless you deleted them. Method #2: Request Your DataĪnother option you can try when you want to see old Discord servers is requesting your data from Discord. Once you get the link, you can see the server or use it to rejoin it. Method #1: Ask a Friend to Send you a Linkīecause there is no feature for outlining the Discord servers you joined previously, one option you have is to ask a friend who you know was on the server with you. Some of the methods you can try to see on old Discord servers are discussed below. Unfortunately, the feature is yet to be implemented, making it almost impossible to see old Discord servers. Many users have suggested Discord offer a feature that lists their old Discord servers. If a server is private, you must get an invite from the owner to join it. If, by bad luck, the invite URL is expired or invalid, you won’t be able to join a server until the server owner can create a new URL. The Discadia tool provides the links when you use it to search for servers, and you can click on the link to join.Īnother simple way of joining a Discord server is by getting an invite URL from one of your friends or the admin. How To Join Discord Serversĭiscord servers are joined using an invite URL. There are many Discord servers, and to find the servers most suitable to you, Discord has created a tool called Discadia, which you can use to scan through servers and choose the most suitable to join. Moreover, it offers text, voice, and video communication through chat groups people create called servers. Method #1: Ask a Friend to Send you a Linkĭiscord is a popular application for gamers.Q: What happens if I'm in more than 100 servers but lose Nitro?Ī: We won’t remove you from any servers you’ve joined however, you will no longer be able to join servers until you bring the total count under 100. You can raise this cap to 200 Servers when you subscribe to Discord Nitro. Users can join/create up to 100 Discord servers. If you have a server invite link, press the Join a Server button, paste the link, and press Join Server: To join or create a server, press the "+" icon at the very bottom of the server list. You can even group servers together by dragging them on top of another! Join a Server You can rearrange your server list by dragging server icons up and down. ![]() Any time you add a server, you'll see it pop up as a small circular icon in this list, and they'll show up vertically: The column on the very left-hand side of your Discord app is your server list.

Think of any server you join as a giant tree house - each channel within a server represents another room within your tree house that you can chat with your friends! If you are unable to join a Discord server on your PC, you can use the below fixes to resolve the issue: Cross-check the invitation link or code. Here's how you can get started with servers! If you're here, you most likely have an account on Discord but you're still trying to understand how to access our online communities, also known as servers. ![]() ![]() Understanding how people consume copyīut producing compelling copy is about more than keeping it short. When you consider the potential barriers to getting your message across, you realise that clarity isn’t a nice-to-have. People just don’t have the time or the inclination to read stodgy copy. Research shows that our attention span is being narrowed by daily digital overload. In 2018, 51% of adults born overseas (around 3.2 million people) reported using a language other than English as their first language at home.Īnd added to this mix, consider the nature of modern life. In addition, think about the number of people in the UK who don’t speak English as a first language. For example, around 10% of people in the UK have some level of dyslexia and more than 2 million people live with some form of vision loss. Many people also live with a condition that affects their literacy skills. In Scotland, it’s around one in four adults, one in eight in Wales and one in five in Northern Ireland. For example, one in six adults in England – so around 7.1 million people in total – have very low literacy skills as defined by the UK National Literacy Trust. Lots of adults find reading and writing challenging. Why clear and concise copy matters (a lot) We explain precisely why clear and concise copywriting matters and equip you with some easy techniques to streamline your writing. And it’s definitely not about dumbing down your copy – it’s about making it smarter. It gets your message across loud, clear and quickly. Whoever your audience is, whatever you’re writing about – lean, punchy copy is vital. A total turn-off, isn’t it? You probably didn’t make it to the end, never mind take anything from it. ![]() Think about the times you’ve been presented with a long, dense report, article or email full of sprawling sentences and paragraphs, and words you don’t understand. |
