![]() The quip itself is clean, conscientious to the environment and cost-effective. In short, the quip toothbrush does the job of an electric toothbrush without losing the benefits of a manual brush. Finally, the cost is not inhibitive (starting at $25), which allows you to get multiple ones for your family and travel without worry. Its design has a sleek and ergonomic handle making the toothbrush as maneuverable as a manual toothbrush, while adding the sonic mechanism to boost the cleaning effect! I get the best results when I brush just as if I was using a manual toothbrush and that’s how I instruct my patients to do it. They also keep you accountable to change your brush heads with their subscription program which delivers brush heads automatically every 3 months. The absence of a cord and rechargeable battery leaves less of an environmental footprint which is conscientious. It runs on a AAA battery that is easy to replace and eliminates the need for an electric cord in a wet environment. I decided I needed to try it out and I was pleasantly surprised. In comes the quip toothbrush, the so-called Tesla of toothbrushes. This allows them to reap the benefits of both. For those who do use these toothbrushes, I’ve encouraged them to switch up their routine and rotate (no pun intended) between their electric and manual toothbrush. I find that most people use electric toothbrushes whether sonic, ultra-sonic or rotating-oscillating simply based on preference. I would clean the mildew that developed on the base crevices in the charger with a manual toothbrush! Oh, and one other thing, I hurt and damaged my gums and my teeth after they became sensitive from some of the stiff and tough plastic bristles that are designed into some of the rotating-oscillating toothbrush heads. Imagine that, having a hard time cleaning the toothbrush that cleans your teeth. In addition, I had a hard time keeping the toothbrush itself clean. That combined with the bulkiness of the handle that houses the rechargeable battery these toothbrushes are clunky and harder to maneuver. The problem I found with electric toothbrushes is what I call a false reliance on the mechanisms of the toothbrush to clean the teeth. I recommend electric toothbrushes to those who have difficulties due to injury, arthritis, loss of strength and dexterity in their hands or just if they are plain lazy and need something to help overcome and motivate them to brush–and floss of course! The key is manual dexterity, but for those who don’t have it, they could benefit from an electric toothbrush. I found that I could do a better job of keeping my teeth and gums free of bacterial plaque and food debris by using good technique with manual dexterity after all, I am a dentist. I moved back to using a soft bristle manual toothbrush. Now, when it comes to electronic toothbrush technology I have tried it all. It sits almost idle near my waiting room as a testament to ‘dentistry with integrity’. The crowns it produces are inferior to the ones we receive from our dental laboratory. Although we carry much of the latest technology, I tell staff and patients that, “we only use the ones that actually work.” For example, I have a CAD/CAM system which cost about $120K, but sits collecting dust most of the time because I’ve only been able to find one application where it is more useful and better than traditional methods. However, I must admit that sometimes we like to stick to the tried and true. At SLimDental we offer much of the latest technology.

And he's most famous for the illustrations that he made for the book. Among other things, he wrote a 15,000-page, typed manuscript. He was a very poor, very isolated, extremely obsessed, self-taught artist. He was a real character from Chicago art history. KLISE: So I'm glad you ask about Henry Darger. However, it is said to be the product of a real artist. SIMON: A mysterious piece of artwork comes into the plot. So their relationship is awkward at first. And he wants to help her, like everybody else in the school. And he wonders if there might be something there for him. And for Steve, he sees in Saba, again, a student who suddenly is at the center of the school social map. He represents a kind of teenage life that hasn't - she hasn't had access to until this relationship. KLISE: Well, for sure, Saba sees in Steve what everybody else sees - a good-looking, popular, class president, star athlete. Those first text messages between Steve and Saba are awkward and sweet. Most popular basketball player, most popular kid in the school. SIMON: Speaking of stretch - awkward transition here - Steve Davinski. KLISE: It didn't seem such a stretch to me to think that teenagers would be interested in hearing about grown-ups, especially when they're talking about the kids and what's going on at school. SIMON: That the implication being a parent might - or an adult might occasionally know something. Within young adult, it is taboo to include grown-up points of view. SIMON: And you also - gosh forbid - in a young adult novel, you also occasionally include the viewpoints of adults. And I thought it would be fun to put the reader in the position of knowing much more than any of the individual characters could know.īecause I knew I was telling a mystery, I thought would be interesting to sort of place the burden on the reader to be aware of the big picture in a way that none of the individual characters could be. I was interested in playing around with voice and point of view. I knew I wanted to tell the story from the point of view of a chorus. SIMON: By the way, you don't use a traditional, novelistic technique, but journal entries, articles, documents, text messages. The reader doesn't know what she means yet, but we find out. And when she says that, it's the very beginning of the book. And she has the potential to become wealthy because of the discovery of the artwork. Not only does she become much more visible on her school campus, she starts dating a very attractive, popular, senior boy. KLISE: Well, the fire creates a lot of opportunities for Saba. SIMON: Saba writes - I quote her words in your book - "the fire might have been the best thing that ever happened to me." How so? ![]() And he joins us from the studios of Chicago Public Media. He is also a high school librarian in Chicago. His previous book, "Love Drugged," won several YA awards. ![]() "The Art of Secrets" is James Klise's new novel for young adults. They organize an auction to help the Khans, but when a donated painting turns out to be a lot more than just garage art, rivalry and suspicion flair. Were they victims of a hate crime? Saba's high school rallies behind her family. The Khans are Americans of Pakistani descent. Seeing as how Julie's ex used to lock her in closets, you can bet that PTSD is going to come back before the end of the movie.Saba Khan is a high school sophomore whose life is turned upside down in a flash - a mysterious fire that destroys her family's apartment on the North Side of Chicago. Is it Sam, Tyler or someone else? Is it her boss Rick (Paul Johansson)? The intern (Daniel Booko) with a grudge? Maybe police detective Morrison (Costas Mandylor, who played a cop in just about every Saw movie) can help figure it out. But someone seems to be breaking in and stalking her with hidden webcams. Until it goes off the market, she's living there and supervising Tyler (Brendan Fehr, Roswell) as he fixes it up. Julie Manning (Bianca Lawson, Save the Last Dance) has finally divorced her abusive husband Sam (Neil Jackson, The King's Man) and is moving on with her life, selling the dream home he made for them. It was directed by Fred Olen Ray and fits into his Lifetime style of directing. He wrote the story for this, which was developed into a screenplay by Michael Ciminera (Jersey Shore Shark Attack) and Richard Gnolfo (The Dog Who Saved Easter). Jeffrey Schenck has 220 - maybe more in the time it took me to write this - production credits on IMDB, including Panic In the Skies, Honeymoon with Mom and Ice Spiders.

You’re welcome to give it a try and send it back for a full refund if it doesn’t help with your unique situation. If your computer has a good quality USB DC supply then the isolator might not further improve the sound quality. It can also clear up the sound from ground issues that is not so apparent, creating a clearer background in the audio. The noise could also be caused by other factors, like the microphone or preamp itself (some gear are noisy!), the isolator will not help with that. If you are experiencing noise problems, then it will probably remove or reduce those if they are caused by a ground loop. Will it improve the sound quality from my DAC? Yes it supports all USB types, the isolator doesn’t care, it just passed on the data to your computer. ![]() Most devices that require USB galvanic isolation doesn’t require 5gbps. Audio devices doesn’t need more than 480Mbps, so it will be sufficient. It will max out at 480Mbps, meaning if you connect a USB3.0 hard drive you will not get transfers at 5Gbps speeds. Similar to a USB hub, the isolator is “transparent” to the computer and doesn’t require any driver or configuration in settings. Will the High-Speed isolator work with my audio or other USB device?ĭoes it require a driver or special setting? If it has mic preamp, phantom power or is a bigger type sound card then it might to require more than 200mA power and the High-Speed isolator with its higher power capability is required. If you have a two channel DAC that supports not more than 96kHz/24bit then the cheaper Full-Speed isolator is likely to work if the DAC doesn’t require too much power. The isolation specifications are the same so there is no downsides to the new cheaper version.ĭo I need the High-Speed isolator, or can I use the other cheaper one? The previous version used another isolation chip that was much more expensive. What’s the difference from the previous, more expensive hi-speed isolator. No driver required, no settings to configure.Works with Thunderbolt ports on the computer, but NOT with (audio) devices that requires Thunderbolt connection.Provides 400mA to the connected USB device (or 500mA if your computer’s USB port can supply Supports audio and other devices including high resolution 384kHz and DSD DACs, USB midi devices, USB mixers, USB microphones.Supports Low (1.5Mbps), Full (12Mbps) and Hi-speed (480Mbps) mode by automatic detection.A handful of audio devices requires Thunderbolt, which is not supported by this isolator.Ī few soundcards like Apollo Twin USB require USB Super speed mode which is also not supported. ![]() This isolator does not support USB SuperSpeed 5Gbps, however this mode is rarely if ever used by audio devices. The new isolator also provides more power, 400mA to the connected device, vs 200mA from the other USB isolator. Hi-Speed 480Mbps are required by DACs that support higher than 96kHz/24bit sample rates, and also multi channel DACs. ![]() It supports USB transfer modes Low (1.5Mbps), Full (12Mbps) and Hi-speed (480Mbps). The High-Speed isolator provides galvanic isolation between the USB host and device and protects the device from power shocks and avoid ground loops that can be very troublesome in audio. ![]() On top of that, the combat updates - while I actually appreciated DL2's changes to the combat over DL1's (a major gripe I've always had with DL1's combat is that sometimes zombies take just one or two hits and sometimes they take twenty, and I have never been able to detect any kind of pattern to it - combat level, game progress, weapon damage, etc., none of them seem to impact it so I have no idea what's up with it), playing it again now. but it still feels far too slow and floaty to me. It certainly feels better than it did last time I played, and the change to retain momentum during parkour moves does feel pretty nice. I played for a few hours, got some of the way in, and. I absolutely loved the first Dying Light, as well as both Mirror's Edge games - parkour and other kinds of momentum-driven gameplay are my jam - so that got me curious enough to check it out again, for the first time in a year. What sorta got me thinking about this - a couple days ago, I noticed that Dying Light 2 got a sizeable update, with a pretty heavy emphasis on changes to the game's parkour mechanics. I thought this might make for an interesting topic and I can't see one like this in the search, so. What sorta got me thinking about this - a couple days ago, I noticed that Dying. So the question I ask is how (mostly on the internet) do you get your news? RSS? Dedicated news app? Read a site? I’ll admit I’m guilty of just glancing at headlines and not actually reading news, but it was nice to just have an inkling of what’s going on in the world I have tried downloading Inoreader and adding some of their default feeds but it feels super cluttered, not like the quick concise headlines I’m used to casually browsing. ![]() ![]() Then go to SA for more granular discussions, which I’m now using Tildes to supplement since I love the community here. I would open up Reddit, browse World News, Politics, Technology, Games, Apple, and Electric Vehicles for any interesting articles for the day. The past 10+ years my internet routine has been browse Something Awful for discussions, and use Reddit as a glorified RSS. I’m embarrassed to admit that after the whole Reddit shutdown, I’m at a loss on how to get news. The past 10+ years my internet routine has been browse Something Awful for discussions, and use. ~life Ask (recommendations) I’m embarrassed to admit that after the whole Reddit shutdown, I’m at a loss on how to get news. I’d also be open to more substantial games as well so long as they didn’t have a lot of dialogue or require a lot of brain power (I’ve found trying to solve chess puzzles while listening to the audiobook just distracts me too much from the book for example). I have found a couple of mindless games I can play on my phone while listening that don’t distract me from the story such as temple run, desert golf and amazing brick, but I’d be interested if anyone else had any suggestions? going for a walk, doing dishes etc) while I listen to them since it would be strange to just sit in a chair and stare and if I closed my eyes I might fall asleep.

The humor often featured profanity, sexual references, drug innuendo, crude humor, bodily functions, and violence. ![]() Though it featured puppets, the series was not intended for children. Sifl and Olly sing both original and classic songs throughout the show, with an original song at the end. The show has an unscripted feel, with the characters talking to each other in a realistic, conversational style. The two co-hosts often have a microphone in front of them. The show is always very simple and low-budget, showing only the characters and background images or animation. Only puppets appear on the show, except during Precious Roy's hamster sale. Their assistant Chester is shy and often incoherent, and claims to be great at everything. Sifl is the calmer (though less responsible) leader of the show, while Olly is excitable and often breaks into crazed furies. The two main characters are a black sock puppet named Sifl and a white sock puppet named Olly. ![]() The first episode aired in 1997, and the show was canceled in 1999.

Plastic can also become scratched or stained over time. They are quite durable and shouldn’t dent or break but often have a less premium look than stainless steel or glass. Plastic soap dispensers are waterproof, affordable, and lightweight. Unlike manual soap dispensers, which come in a wide variety of glass designs, there are few automatic glass soap dispensers, likely due to how breakable glass is. Most automatic soap dispensers are made of either plastic or stainless steel. These units save sink-side space because they are attached to a nearby wall. Wall-mounted soap dispensers are more common in commercial settings and public bathrooms, but there are options available for home use as well. Simply charge the unit or insert the batteries and fill it with liquid dish or hand soap. Countertop automatic soap dispensers are available in a range of designs and don’t require any installation. Similar to pump soap dispensers, they sit on the side of the sink and pump soap into hands-just with an automatic pump instead of a manual one. Countertop units are the type most commonly used in the home. CountertopĪutomatic soap dispensers come in wall-mounted or countertop versions. When choosing an automatic soap dispenser, consider the dispenser type, material, design, power supply, sensor type, and capacity. Since these automatic units are pricier than simple manual models, shoppers will want to find a dispenser that suits their needs. Many units can also be used to dispense other hygiene and skin-care products, such as dish soap, hand sanitizer, or lotion. Their touchless designs reduce cross-contamination, which is especially useful when your hands are soiled, such as after touching raw chicken or working in the garden. ![]() Photo: What to Consider When Choosing the Best Automatic Soap DispenserĪutomatic soap dispensers are an upgrade compared to manual pump soap dispensers.
Hence its non-polar.To understand any molecule’s chemical and physical properties, it is essential to know the Lewis structure and its molecular geometry. The vector addition of the 3 dipole moments gives a better of 0. Looking at its Lewis structure we can state that molecular geometry of PH3 is trigonal pyramidal. What is the molecular geometry of PH3 PH3? Therefore, its electron geometry is Trigonal planar, and its molecular geometry is Trigonal planar, too. In BH3, there are 3 regions of electron density around the central atom, all are the bonding regions. ![]() Hence, hybridization of Boron in BF3 molecule is sp2. Is PCl3 planar?Īnswer and Explanation: No. After linking the three fluorine atoms and no lone pairs of electrons in the trigonal planar form, it maintains the planar-T-like structure. There are three B-F bonds at the BF3 molecular geometry. The BF3 molecule has a trigonal planar geometry shape because it contains three fluorine atoms. Repulsion theory predicts that these three e- pairs should find themselves at the vertices of an equilateral triangle (bond angles of 120 degrees). The two remaining electrons form a lone pair.Įxplanation: Boron has only 3 valence electrons, so when it bonds with F there will only be 3 electron pairs around the boron atom. What is this? During the bonding process, Phosphorous is surrounded by three hydrogen atoms, and each is connected by a single bond. How many electron domains does PH3?įrom the Lewis molecular structure of PH3, we have seen the phosphorous atom has five valence electrons. Keep in mind, multiple bonds (i.e., double bonds, triple bonds) count as one electron domain. Use the angular arrangement of the chemical bonds between the atoms to determine the molecular geometry. Using Electron Domains to Find Molecular Geometry Count the total number of electron domains. ![]() How do you find the electron domain and molecular geometry? Thus these three sigma bonds and one lone pair, make this molecule sp3 hybridized. The remaining two electrons remain as a lone pair on Phosphorus atom. Thus it forms three sigma bonds with three neighbouring Chlorine atoms. Phosphorus has five electrons in its outermost shell. In the BF3 molecule, the central boron atom undergoes sp2 hybridization giving rise to three sp2 hybridized orbitals directed towards three corners of an equilateral triangle. After determining how many valence electrons there are in BF3, place them around the central atom to complete the octets. There are a total of 24 valence electrons for the BF3 Lewis structure. How many electron domains are present in BF3? Bond angles (BA) – The angle between two adjacent bonds in the same atom. ![]() ![]() Molecular geometry – The arrangement of the atoms in a molecule (The nonbonding domains are not included in the description). What is the electron domain geometry?Įlectron domain geometry – The arrangement of electron domains surrounding the central atom of a molecule or ion. There are three P-Cl single bonds at the PCl3 molecular geometry. The PCl3 molecule has a trigonal pyramidal geometry shape because it contains three chlorine atoms in the geometry and four corners with one lone pair of electrons. What are the electron domain molecular geometry hybridization around the central atom and polarity for PCl3? Name of Molecule |
