Kobo forma guide12/13/2023 ![]() FrontlightĪs mentioned previously, the Kobo Forma does have some frontlight issues to be aware of. One thing I don’t like is the power buttons is super stiff, which makes it hard to tell if you’ve pressed it or not, and they made it so you have to swipe the screen before the device will turn on, unless you buy their $50 sleepcover, which is truly annoying. ![]() I was glad to find that the touchscreen is much more accurate and responsive than the touchscreen on the Kobo Aura One, which was one of its weaknesses. ![]() I’d also like to see an option to disable rotation entirely. Sometimes the sensor takes several seconds to respond and other times it flips the screen in less than a second, so it seems like something they could improve. The addition of a rotation sensor makes is handy to switch between different positions, but sometimes it’s too slow to respond, which takes you out of the story for several seconds when just switching from the left to right hand. The flared design does make it fairly comfortable to hold, especially considering the larger size of the device, and I like the feel and function of the page buttons, but the added section does make the device seem unusually wide for an ereader (I can’t help but wish the button part was detachable).īecause of the design, the Kobo Forma is well-suited to use in landscape mode, and that’s a good option if you want to use larger text sizes. The section with the page buttons is angled up from the screen instead of being flat, which gives it a handle of sorts to hold onto, and the back of the Forma is flat, unlike the Oasis with its contoured wedge. The Kobo Forma looks a lot like the Kindle Oasis with the page buttons on one side of the screen, but it’s actually quite a bit different. Kobo Forma vs Kindle Oasis Comparison Review The Design It’s worth checking out if you like having page buttons and want something different and more innovative than the standard 6-inch ereader. The Kobo Forma is the most unique new ebook reader of 2018 with it’s flared design and upgraded Mobius E Ink screen. It’s nice to see Kobo come out with something completely different from their previous models for a change. It’s not noticeable when there’s plenty of ambient lighting and it’s barely noticeable in landscape mode, but it’s something to be aware of if you’re the kind of person that is sensitive to frontlight uniformity, that and PWM if you’re sensitive to screen flicker. My only real complaint with the Kobo Forma is the frontlight gradient can be a little distracting when using the light at night. I like the larger screen and the device is comfortable to hold with its unusual design.

Grapefruit tree leaves curling12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Queens Palms can be maintained with products like Lutz Manganese Spikes, which you can get on Amazon, and are fine if used regularly, but they take months to deliver the manganese to the top. Regular palm tree fertilizers don't have enough manganese for Queen Palms!!! These products are fine if used regularly on healthy trees. Once we get your Queen Palms healthy you can maintain them by either having us treat them yearly with injections, or by doing it yourself with the products listed below. You can call Pat at (480) 969-8808 to schedule an appointment to have me look at your trees. It is absolutely the fastest way to get the manganese to the tops, which is critical for the correct development of the new fronds. ![]() That's why we inject a special liquid fertilizer, high in manganese, directly into the Queen Palms. If it is manganese deficient it is more susceptible to fungus, and other diseases. if a Queen Palm has enough manganese its chances of fighting a disease are greatly improved, and the frond is much less likely to brake in strong winds. Queen Palms need lots of manganese to fight disease, and grow strong fronds. I suspect that people will start noticing the damage done to the Queen Palms in the spring of 2017 and beyond, If you're one of those people here's what you should know. This new shoot would have created the top frown for the season, and if a Queen Palm goes for a year or two without growing a top, it is in danger of dying. The clincher however was that I observed that everywhere this occurred at least 50% of the queen palms had their new shoot destroyed. I know this because of the sudden increase in calls I received for certain types of tree problems.įirst I received a flood of calls on brazilin pepper trees with sporadic dying leaves, something which hardly ever happens, this was matched by calls for grapefruit trees with dying leaves, something that does happen after a rain every two to three years.Īlso I received a slew of calls for ash trees with dying branches, that couldn't be totally explained by insect damage. Had some unusual effects on certain trees in the valley. Sometime In the summer of 2016 a rain that fell in Maricopa County Arizona. The tree injectors will get the necessary manganese and other micro nutrients to the fawns quicker than any other method. The best way we have found to get the micro nutrients directly into the tree is with tree injectors that go directly into the trees. The reason queen palms are susceptible to fungal infection is usually because there isn’t enough manganese available for the new frowns as they develop.īy regularly introducing manganese into the root system in the correct amounts (usually 12% or more), the new frowns will be more resistant to fungal infections. Unlike most other palm trees, the queen palm mainly uses manganese in large amounts as an enzyme-activator to fight off diseases. This disease is spread by rain, insects and people that trim your trees and don’t sterilize their tools properly.Ī healthy tree that has all the micro nutrients it needs can fight off this infection. If the fronds of your queen palms look stunted or frizzled, your queen palms have a fungal infection commonly called 'Frizzle Top'. ![]()

Destiny 2 range calculator12/13/2023 ![]() Our full name represents the outer self, exposed and aware. Our name assumes, from the outset, a very special meaning for our family. Many of us inherit the names of people who are special and significant to our parents or who they want to honor by giving us their names. It is what distinguishes us from everyone else and connects us to the energy of our ancestors. Our Destiny Number is part of our individuality. It's because of the conversion to decimal form: we're working backwards from 1x, and because we're using percentage 'reductions' (not 'increases') DR decimal numbers will ALWAYS be a value between 0.0 and 1.0 (which can be read as "no DR bonus" and "essentially immunity" respectively).Calculate Destiny Number - What it Means in Numerology read as "you receive 25% reduced damage") With DR - from the perspective of percentage reductions - 25% = 0.75x With Damage Modifiers - from the perspective of percentage increases - 25% = 1.25x However to actually calculate them it's a little different. Yes! All Resistance Modifiers stack multiplicatively, similiar to Damage Modifiers. This section also covers the other modifiers which makes Combatants do reduced damage to you and is under the umbrella term of "damage resistance". This is mostly done by intrinsic bonuses or adding effects to your character, but the same principle applies when you cause Enemies to do less outgoing damage.ĭR is helpful to bolster your defenses, especially in end-game or upper-tier activity difficulties where the aspect of survivability is more desirable.ĭR can be activated and is found on a plethora of Mods, Abilities, and even some Exotics. You can identify this visually by watching the Overload's 'body chains' pulsate white once it stops pulsating it can then be Stunned as normal.ĭisruption Rounds can still be applied during this immunity phase.ĭamage Resistance - or referred to as "DR" for short and throughout this Guide Overview - is where instead of incoming damage doing its full amount to you, it does a reduced amount. Overload Champions have "cooldown" phases after recovering that blocks further Stunning for a short duration - higher difficulty activities increases this immunity duration. If an Overload Champion is not assassinated in time or is not successively Disrupted it will heal itself back to full health. Higher difficulty activities reduces this stun duration.Ĭonsistently applying Disruption Rounds also disables Overload Champion's super-charged abilities and health regeneration, even if they have recovered and are temporarily unable to stunned again due to the cooldown duration. If the Barrier Champion is not assassinated in time it will heal itself back to full health and be able to cast its Orb Shield once more.īarrier Champions do not have "immunity" to further Stunning, but they do have an "Unguarded" phases where they will not spawn their Orb Shield for a short duration - higher difficulty activities reduces this unguarded duration.ĭisruption Rounds disables and stuns the Overload Champion in their place for a short duration and are unable to self-heal, attack, or use their abilities. It begins to regenerate health after 0.8s, or 1.6s if Shield-Piercing damage has been dealt. If the Orb Shield is not destroyed in time it will regenerate its Shield HP back to full. Higher difficulty activities reduces this stun duration.ĭuring this vulnerability period they are susceptible to all damage. Shield-Piercing Rounds pierces and damages Orb Shields HP.ĭestroying the Orb Shield disables and stuns the Barrier Champion in their place and are unable to self-heal, attack, or use defensive capabilities. Sometime in the future all of this will be shifted to a dedicated website and these sheets will be sunset permanentlyīarrier Champions cast their Shield at the following thresholds: 60% in Hero activities, 75% in Legend activities, and 85% in Master/Grandmaster activities. These spreadsheets will be stripped down so old data/info doesn't get sourced, but I will be keeping them around temporarily to hold any extraneous, additional, and supplimentary information and to house my infographics.

Folx health address12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() It is already part of the basic HRT package. What medications are being covered now and what is being taken into consideration for future rollouts? I know a lot of queer folks take medications that are common within the trans community, but are not specifically for the trans community-like Sprionolactone, which is prescribed for acne, hypertension, and hormone-blocking. That did not line up 100%, but we got as close as we could. There are certain states that will license our clinicians more quickly, and the target states were based on where we saw the greatest need. We’re starting in 10 to 12 states, and then it'll roll out across the country over the course of the next six or seven months. So as hard as it is, we have also been blessed with enormous numbers of people who have stepped forward to say they are really eager to be part of this service. The queer community has a lot of caregivers, and a lot of people who have been waiting for something like this. ![]() ![]() The patient should be in control, and the clinician’s job is to support them by providing services that enable them to achieve their goals for care. Our ethos is also different from sort of traditional medical ethos-we’re not just going from patient centric, we're actually going for patient control. Here is the 17-slide presentation Folx Health used to raise its $30 million Series B round.The queer community has a lot of caregivers, and a lot of people who have been waiting for something like this. More than 77% of respondents said they didn't have access to an affirming healthcare provider before Folx.įolx provided Insider with its pitch deck and edited the presentation to remove sensitive financial information prior to Insider's review. And that is painful in any aspect of our lives," said Guzmán.Īccording to an internal survey of their patients, 98% of respondents said they were making progress towards their health goals with Folx, and more than 96% said that they feel like their clinician listens to them and takes their views into account. And more often than that, a system that is openly discriminatory against us. When it comes to healthcare, "We experience at best an incumbent system not built for us. Guzmán told Insider that part of Folx's founding ideology was that LGBTQ+ people need providers who can care for the whole person, saying that while specific offerings are useful, now people feel like they have no one who's looking at their health holistically. It started as a service providing gender-affirming hormone therapy over telehealth, and it has since expanded to virtual primary care - including a monkeypox clinic - as well as behavioral health, mental health, and support groups. Folx's CEO, Liana Douillet Guzmán, said that Folx has raised $59 million in total, but she did not disclose the company's current valuation.įolx, based in Boston, was founded in 2020.

Wooden kitchen playset12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() In addition to expert opinion, I also had conversations with parents and pored over customer reviews to consider real-life feedback. I spoke with multiple therapists to curate this list of the best play kitchens and leaned into my own parental know-how as well. We get lots of compliments on it from parents who come by for play dates with their little ones.”įorbes Staff How We Chose The Best Play Kitchens The quality is great and it shows minimal wear surprisingly after so long. There are clicking and rotating buttons, lights and sound effects to add to its appeal.Īs one reviewer wrote, “I bought this kitchen/laundry set for my now three and 4.5 year nearly two years ago and it’s going strong! My boys love this kitchen and laundry set and they often turn it themselves, taking turns who’s doing laundry and who’s cooking. A major perk is that it comes preassembled (not the case for most other play kitchens), and the Janod play kitchen includes a plethora of accessories like an oven mitt and cooking tools. On one side, it’s a kitchen and on the other it’s a pantry and laundry room. While this makes it a great option for smaller spaces that require multi-function toys and playthings, this also makes it an ideal purchase for families with multiple children-twins or otherwise. But what isn’t discernible at first glance is that it’s double-sided. Take one look at this colorful Janod kitchen and it’s easy to tell it’s fun. It’s like the difference between a Wolf and a La Cornue oven-they’re both gorgeous, it just depends on your preferred style and price point. Williams: “Keeping the kitchen set simple to avoid sensory overload, which can prevent your child’s ability to learn and enjoy their set.” And, as far as price is considered, the only real difference between this and less expensive options is the aesthetic. While there aren’t as many bobs and bits with this option (a play refrigerator is sold separately), that’s not a downside according to Dr. It’s smaller than the Pottery Barn kitchen but a bit bigger than Hape’s.

Best used crossover suv12/13/2023 ![]() Here's a car that offers more value than it has any right to, so it's easy to see why sales have been so strong since the original was introduced to the UK in 2012. Search Used Ford EcoSport Dacia DusterĬritics have, and continue to, celebrate the sheer value of the Dacia Duster. Up to 53.3mpg is available in the petrol models, while the diesels can achieve up to 67.3mpg. Likewise, there is a 1.5-litre EcoBlue diesel engine with two variants (100bhp and 125bhp). The 1.0-litre EcoBoost has been a revelation across the Ford range, and comes in two variants: 125bhp and 140bhp. In addition, the EcoSport's compact nature makes it easy to manoeuvre in towns, while the 356-litre boot can accommodate the weekly shop with ease. Refreshingly, despite the high-riding nature of the EcoSport, it's also a fun car to drive when the roads get twisty because it shares the same underpinnings as the Ford Fiesta. The EcoSport is no exception it has good looks and a well-equipped interior as standard on all trims across the range. We've compiled a list of the best and most practical ones available.įord are pretty savvy when it comes to the design of cars, which is why they have a reputation for building great all-rounders. With popularity of compact SUVs and crossovers having surged over the course of the past decade, there are now plenty of examples to choose from on the used car market. As a result, the running costs are typically lower than the average mid-sized family SUV, which weigh more and are less efficient for the most part. The great thing about crossovers and small SUVs is that they're usually based on a supermini within that manufacturer's range, meaning they usually share the same underpinnings and engines. That's how reliable SUVs have become.Crossovers and compact SUVsare big business in the UK, and that's because they offer similar driving dynamics to a regular hatchback, but offer a little more in the way of enhanced practicality. As a group, what's most impressive is that every one of these vehicles averaged less than 100 issues per 100 vehicles - in other words, less than one issue per vehicle on average-after three years in service. Each of those surveys looks back three years, so the SUVs assembled here represent the most dependable ones from model years 20. For this review, we've done just that: We've assembled the 13 used SUVs that rank highest in dependability based on their Overall scores in their individual categories in the two most recent VDS studies, published in 20. Industry insiders say it's a reasonably good predictor of a car's future score on the Dependability Study.įor a deeper check on a vehicle's reliability, the Power site enables you to look back beyond the latest VDS survey to previous years' results to see how the same model has done over time. If you're looking for a new SUV, we suggest cross-checking the VDS with Power's Initial Quality Study (IQS), which surveys customers on problems in the first 90 days of ownership. The Overall scores for three-year-old vehicles will never be perfectly predictive of how reliable a brand-new, current-year model will be manufacturers tend to improve the quality of their vehicles over time, but there are also some years when they slide backwards. Obviously, a lower score equates to fewer problems and better reliability. ![]() An Overall score of 100 means that a vehicle has an average of 100 issues per 100 vehicles, or an average of 1 per vehicle. The results are presented in terms of issues per 100 vehicles. The Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) covers a total of 177 potential problem areas. ![]() Power conducts an annual Vehicle Dependability Study that asks thousands of owners how their vehicle has performed three years after their initial purchase. But when we want information on how reliable a vehicle promises to be after several years in service, we turn to research firm J.D. Our Instrumented Tests give you a clear picture of what every new SUV has to offer, and we also run select models through our Long-Term Test program to see how they hold up during one year and 40,000 miles of abuse. When your money is on the line for a used SUV, you want to know the vehicle you’re buying will be a reliable traveling companion years down the road. ![]() |
