A recent systematic review of clinical trials investigating the effects of xylitol challenged the greater caries reduction claimed for gums containing xylitol compared with other sugar alcohol. On the other hand, the use of xylitol sweetened gum has been found to be more effective on rehardening of dentinal lesions than sorbitol sweetened gums. In an in situ study, comparing the remineralizing effect of gums containing sorbitol and a mixture of sorbitol/xylitol on caries-like enamel lesions, no differences were observed between the gums. There are contradictory findings regarding the effects of polyols’ types in chewing gums on caries lesions. There are various reports that evaluated the effect of polyol gums on the remineralization of denimeralized enamel. ![]() mutans and levels of lactic acid produced by these bacteria. Xylitol is a caloric sugar substitute that is not readily fermented by oral microorganisms and also actively protective against tooth decay through reduction in S. Sorbitol is metabolized not at all by most microorganisms, it can be fermented at a slow rate by all of the mutans streptococci including Streptococcus mutans while xylitol is considered to be non-acidogenic. Thus, sugar substitution and salivary stimulation could be equally responsible for the non-cariogenicity of sugar-free chewing gum. Both stimulate a gustatory reflex that together with the chewing process, enhances saliva stimulation. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol derived from pentose sugar xylose and sorbitol is a sugar alcohol derived from glucose. Most oral bacteria do not metabolize xylitol and sorbitol to form acid. The most common dietary polyols used in sugar-free chewing gums are xylitol and sorbitol. Increased levels of calcium and phosphate in gum-stimulated saliva also limit demineralization and enhance remineralization. The increase in flow enhances the buffering capacity of saliva, which effectively neutralizes the drop in plaque pH that occurs after eating. In recent years, the use of chewing gum after meals has gained popularity as it prevents the formation of dental caries by stimulating salivary flow. This effect is based on the action of two factors: Saliva stimulation through the chewing process and integration of dietary polyols. Sugar-free chewing gums have been suggested to decrease the caries incidence as they have an anti-cariogenic effect.

![]() I really appreciate that data backup redundancy, and know that if one service goes down that I have my photos backed up in at least one other service. Personally, I use Google Photos as my main app on Android, Apple Photos on iOS, and Amazon Photos across the board. Speaking of backup, once you download the Amazon Photos app to your phone or computer, you can have it automatically sync photos from your main library (be that Google Photos, Apple Photos, or another proprietary app), and not have to worry about it. That's a lot of photo space! I'm not a professional photographer or even an amateur enthusiast, so the free tier with Prime is good enough for me (and, I suspect, for most people), but it's nice to know you can add more if you need it. If you are a Prime member, you can save an unlimited amount of full-resolution photos, and up to 10 GB of videos or other files for free, and you can purchase additional storage space up to 30 TB for prices comparable to Google. The app comes preinstalled on Fire tablets, Fire TVs, and Echo Show devices, and is pretty intuitive to navigate. The app does a pretty decent job of automatically categorizing photos by location, type (dog, mountain, car, etc.), and face (though as with other photo services, you'll have to give it some guidance as to who's who). You are able to create albums, share albums and photos, and backup your photos across devices and platforms. ![]() Up to 16MP for photos and 1080p for videosĪs you can see from the chart above, Amazon Photos has many of the same features as Google Photos. ![]() If the fashionista awoke suddenly – or worse, her diaper leaked – how could the orange pony explain away the awkward situation? She lifted her tail and prepared to release the contents of her bladder when she realized that Rarity was still snoozing away. She hated waking up in a bed soaked with her own urine but somehow, when that same urine was contained in a diaper pressing up against her nether regions, it was a rather enjoyable sensation.Īpplejack looked to make sure the diaper was on correctly. Even today, she occasionally still wet the bed. While the bullies had long moved on, the bladder issues that troubled her still haunted her. She recalled the voices of the past calling her things like “Smelly Filly”, “Poopiejack” and other hurtful names. Potty training was something that didn’t come easy to her and even as she started school, she was still in diapers. ![]() It was a rhetorical question she already knew the answer. ![]() Where the hay did I pick this up? She mentally asked herself. Diapers were for foals, not full grown ponies! She blushed as she reveled in the soft, fluffy padding between her hind legs.Īt the same time, a twinge of shame ran through her. The ointment applied, she unfolded the diaper, threaded her tail through the hole in the back and taped it up. She flicked her tail in irritation as the cold, sticky substance made contact with her skin. Instead, she squeezed a dollop of the ointment onto her right front hoof and liberally smeared the ointment all over her nether regions and hindquarters. Applejack grimaced as she imagined what Rarity would say if she were caught in such a compromising position: “Darling, diapers are not an appropriate fashion item for a mare your age.” She would have loved to apply some onto her rump before she diapered herself but alas doing so would have kicked up a fragrant cloud that would have awoken Rarity. The scent of it took her back to her foalhood. She picked up the container of foal powder and took a deep whiff. Applejack mentally laughed a full grown mare wearing a diaper? Ridiculous! She poked her snout into the saddlebags and pulled out some more supplies, arranging them on the sleeping bag: wipes, diaper rash ointment and foal powder. It was soon apparent what it was – a diaper. Her heart raced as she gripped it in her teeth and pulled it out into the moonlit interior. Even though the only light source was the pale light of Luna’s moon filtering through the fabric of the tent, Applejack could still don her scarf and hat.Īnd of course, there was the last item– one that was utterly embarrassing and shameful. She headed back to her own sleeping bag and dug through it. Through the day, they had made snow ponies, had snowball fights and generally had fun.īut now, Luna had raised the moon and everypony was asleep in their tents, save for a certain orange earth pony.Īpplejack picked up her saddlebags, being careful not to wake Rarity, who was apparently wrapped up in a set of fluffy blankets. Twilight Sparkle and her friends had decided to have a campout in Whitetail Woods. It was just after Hearth’s Warming Eve and the pegasi had scheduled a perfect snowfall.

When making the transition from a mid-weight position to a senior one, it’s already a given that you should know how to use an industry-standard compositing tool like Nuke very comfortably-we’ll get into the technical abilities which can help you stand out a little bit later on, so keep on reading! But, for now, let’s have a look at some crucial things that Senior Compositors should master in order to be successful in their role.Ĭommunication is key-and it’s not just a cliché. Ready to take notes? Let’s discover together what being a Senior Compositor is all about! Step up We sat down with him to pick his brain and discover which indispensable skills compositors should develop when looking to move up the ladder. ![]() David has over 10 years of experience in the VFX industry and has worked on a number of major movie franchises, including Avengers, Star Wars and Netflix’s School for Good and Evil. We wondered who would be best to share their expertise and advice for aspiring Senior Compositors and felt that David Nolan, a former Nuke Product Manager at Foundry and now Senior Compositor at DNEG would be perfect to do so. In this article, we’ll see what’s expected from you when changing gears from a mid to a senior role, what skills can make you stand out as an applicant, and what qualities you need as a team member once you get the role. You might be surprised to hear that experience is not always enough, you also need to demonstrate some key skills and attributes. But how do you make the transition from a Mid Compositor to a Senior Compositor? You gained more experience and became a Mid Compositor but now you feel ready to move ahead, to aim higher, and to have more responsibilities. Maybe you first started out as a Junior Compositor, you already have a variety of projects you worked on and you’ve put together an amazing showreel that showcases your skills. Imagine you’ve been working in the competitive industry of VFX (visual effects) for a few years. ![]()

While losing your mucus plug is one sign that your body's preparing for labor, it doesn't mean you need to head to the hospital or even call your provider. There's no need to do anything, though this might be a good time to make sure your hospital bag is packed and you're prepared for your baby's arrival. ![]() What should I do after losing my mucus plug? However, it could take hours, days, or even weeks for labor to actually begin after your mucus plug comes out. This happens because as the cervix begins to open, the plug drops into the vagina. You'll lose your mucus plug sometime before you go into labor (usually after 37 weeks), or as labor is starting. But if you notice more than about two teaspoons of blood, call your provider immediately," says Dr. As long as it's a minimal amount, it's not concerning. "This is very common, especially after intercourse or a vaginal exam. "Sometimes small amounts of bright-red blood can be mixed with both discharge and your mucus plug," says Melissa Simon, M.D Opens a new window., vice-chair for research in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a physician at Northwestern Medicine. Comes with itching or irritation of your vulva.Increases or changes in color, consistency, or amount.Sometimes vaginal discharge during pregnancy can signal a problem, such as a vaginal infection like bacterial vaginosis (BV) or a yeast infection. If the mucus comes out all at once in a big clump, it's your mucus plug (though again, it can come out over the course of days).Vaginal discharge is usually thinner and more slippery than sticky. The mucus plug is usually thick, like jelly, and sticky.Healthy vaginal discharge is usually clear to milky white or light yellow. If the discharge is pink or brown, it's likely your mucus plug.May come out all at once in a big clump, about an inch or two in length.May come out gradually over several days (and be barely noticeable).May be transparent, off-white, a little pink or brown, or slightly blood-tinged.Bloody show may be brownish, pink, or bright red and mixed with smaller amounts of mucus. This is a combination of mucus and blood from vessels that have ruptured as the cervix begins to dilate and efface in preparation for active labor. With these signs, you may also see some thick, stringy, bloody discharge called bloody show. If your mucus plug comes out but labor doesn't start, your body will replace it with more mucus.Īt some point after you lose your mucus plug, you may start to notice cramping, contractions, or other signs of early labor. The plug may also be dislodged by having sex, your baby dropping (when your baby's head drops into your pelvis), or during a pelvic exam in your provider's office. ![]() I can't count the number of times this has saved my life, I get to consider the situation, manufacture and use consumables, all in my own time, no pressure, no stress, easy! But I still don't like it. ![]() Rather than being a reward, I feel that every upgrade I apply robs me of more and more of that sense of achievement I might have had when finally winning the game.Ģ. I'd like to start off being bad at the game at one difficulty level and then master it, feel I have improved and then, possibly, up the difficulty level and try to master that. Yes, I could up the difficulty, but that's not the same, because it's not about making the game harder, it's about the sense of accomplishment which the current system removes. I would MUCH prefer a system which would allow me to upgrade my ship as I go along, during a single run so that I have to improve to face the final boss over time, rather than one which makes the game progressively easier every time I play it, so that, in the end I more or less make it by default. The permanent upgrades you get after each death. but there are couple of things in it which I really don't like.ġ. I liked the exploration at any stage, flight coud be tho sometimes and combat mechanics didn't feel perfect or smooth but fun afterall, the devices and weapons are just great. I liked EVERSPACE, it has good graphics despite, not so fast on my PC. I hope for a massive DLC with new ships, guns, missiles, modules, appliances, sectors, opponents, amazing landscapes, cooperating in group of ships and of course development of storyline, or maybe something like EVERSPACE 2? :D At the end I want to congratulate to the authors from ROCKFISH GAMES, thank you for this divine game - it's the best which I ever played, good luck and see you in space! At greater length of time spent in enjoying the space adventure would do well more content, I mean: more type of ships both for player and for opponents and more different "things in space" because they may become repetitive. From that moment it was far less hard, to change hostile ship into **** :) I loved this game from first moment but I can't wait for continuation and development - there is a short story line and only three available spacecrafts. You can always find the other way - one time I didn't have a proper gun to hit small and quick-moving drones which were loading a shield of "Okkarian Corvette", I will not forget my joy when I found solution - I produced the "dron takeover module" then they started to load my own shield. There are various opponents which require many particular tactics and weapons - sometimes you can have the heaviest weapon but for example it's weak for shields, therefore if you have no resources to produce "anti-shield missile" you are in trouble. For praise deserves balanced level of difficulty and also we have a vast influence on our performance. ![]() Graphics - I have no words to tell about graphics you just have to see this, feel this. but this what gives us an unforgettable experience is reasonable compromise between the laws of physics and usable model of flying and fighting. there are no sounds in vacuum and spacecraft should be subjected to a force of inertia. Revolutionary gameplay is so useful, enjoyable and what is mostly astonishing, how they arranged movement and fight in this 3D space environment. Amazing Game!!! A new breed of space game, I was sure since the first time when I met this game but after around 40 hours spent playing my jaw is broken. ![]() Easy to install and use, Bitdefender Password Manager works on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS but not Linux at the moment. To get its new password manager up an running quickly, Bitdefender licensed the technology from SaferPass and then integrated it into its Central online portal. The best password manager on a budgetīitdefender Password Manager is a bargain for those looking for a password manager from a well-trusted company at just $20 for the first year ($30 upon renewal). Even if you forget to un-share something, it expires automatically and the recipient's access is removed. This feature lets users share links that can only be used on one device and automatically expire at a time of your choosing. To make it easier to securely share confidential information with friends, family and co-workers, Keeper has added One-Time Share to its password manager. It also offers a free secure messaging service. It offers a consistent, if not flashy, user interface no matter which platform you're using, and 20 templates to fill in personal documents such as passports and driver's licenses. Keeper's free tier gives you everything except syncing across devices.įor an extra $25 per year, Keeper will also monitor the internet for unauthorized use of your personal data and give you 10GB of secure cloud storage, or you can add those services individually for $20 and $10 per year, respectively. Keeper ( $20.98 per year for Tom's Guide readers) is fast and full-featured, stores files and documents of any kind and has perhaps the best security of any password manager. By itself, the VPN costs $96 yearly, so it's a huge bargain when bundled with Dashlane. That makes Dashlane Premium's $60 price tag well worth it if you need these extra services. On the upside, the Dashlane Premium plan offers dark-web monitoring and unlimited VPN service, the latter courtesy of Hotspot Shield. Dashlane's free plan is limited to one device but it does let you store an unlimited number of passwords. Its Premium plan is $60 per year, or $78 per year if you pay monthly. A scanner also goes through your email inbox to find online accounts you may have forgotten about.ĭashlane's drawback is its high price. The password manager is well designed, easy to use and excellent at filling out your personal information in online forms. Its killer feature remains a bulk password changer that can reset hundreds of passwords at once. The best password manager interfaceĭashlane matches LastPass, 1Password and Keeper in platform support and has very intuitive desktop software. The older stand-alone application that let Mac users sync devices locally has been discontinued, and so has the free version of 1Password. ![]() The best part, the recipient does not need to be a 1Password subscriber.ġPassword asks new users to sign up for a $36 annual cloud subscription. It also has a secure data-sharing service called Psst! that lets 1Password users send a temporary link to anyone to share information, such as a password, that has already been saved in 1Password. The catch is that you have to subscribe to both services. 1Password also has great form-filling abilities and true two-factor authentication.ġPassword even offers "masked" email addresses for greater privacy through a deal with email provider Fastmail. The Chrome extension brings 1Password to Chromebook users, and you can also access your 1Password account through the company website.ġPassword's killer feature is Travel Mode which deletes sensitive data from your devices (you'll get it back later) so that snooping border-control agents can't find it. They work directly with web browsers and now support biometric logins. Need a suggestion on where to jump ship to? Our list of the best password managers can point you in the right direction-and it includes free options.It also has excellent stand-alone browser extensions for Brave, Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. It’s not difficult and takes very little time, as we explain our guide on How to export your passwords and ditch LastPass. If this whole situation seems too messy, you can still leave LastPass-as others have already done. (A check of a PCWorld test account with LastPass does not show a record of these emails, so not all users may have received them.) Earlier emails had been sent in March and April 2023 to remind customers. In a statement to Bleeping Computer, LastPass says its prompts for users to resync their 2FA secrets began appearing in early June, in hopes of getting more response. With the new direct line of customer support for this particular issue, it will hopefully happen faster-on June 20, one user reported being locked out for five days with still no contact from LastPass. Unfortunately, if these steps don’t help (or if you’re locked in an ongoing cycle of authenticator reset notifications), you’ll have to wait for LastPass’s assistance. ![]() We added the Venture line of lightweight towables several years ago, and immediately realized we’d filled a previously unsupported void in the marketplace.
