Britain’s Daily Mail is in talks with potential partners to mount a joint bid for Yahoo’s (YHOO.O) internet assets Women’s Lamar Jackson Jersey , as it seeks to drive up advertising income from its globally popular websites to counter shrinking print revenue.

The newspaper’s parent company, the Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGOa.L), said on Monday it was in early-stage discussions, confirming a Wall Street Journal report that it had approached private equity buyers to team up.

“We have been in discussions with a number of parties who are potential bidders,” a spokeswoman said in an emailed statement, declining to name the private equity firms or give any financial details.

But the group could face tough competition to get its hands on the assets of the troubled U.S. internet pioneer.

Several private equity firms are weighing offers, while Time Inc (TIME.N) is considering teaming up with a partner for a bid, sources have told Reuters. Telecoms giant Verizon (VZ.N), which owns AOL, is also reportedly interested.

The Mail’s celebrity-focused websites, DailyMail and MailOnline, are among the world’s most popular in the English language. Laden with snaps of Britain’s royal family and selfies of reality television stars, they attract a total of 14 million visitors a day.

But the company needs to extract more revenue from online as advertising sales from the right-leaning Daily Mail newspaper shrink fast. Print pushed total advertising revenues down 12 percent in the four weeks from Dec. 27, year-on-year.

U.S. EARNINGS

Revenue from the websites, 73 million pounds ($104 million) in the last financial year, represent a tenth of the group’s consumer media revenue.

Buying Yahoo’s assets - which include a search engine and email, news and sports services - would boost its online reach and digital ad revenues.

Liberum analyst Ian Whittaker said a deal would particularly help the newspaper group increase earnings in the United States.

“The U.S. has been the main driver of digital growth for Daily Mail & General Trust, whilst traffic has grown well they haven’t quite monetized this traffic as successfully as they would have liked,” Whittaker said.

The plans come ahead of management change at Daily Mail & General Trust, which also operates business publishing and events units.

Chief Executive Martin Morgan, who oversaw the rise of the Mail websites to help turn the publisher into a global brand, is due to step down by the end of the year, after eight years in the top job.

Bids for Yahoo are due on April 18.

Blackstone Group LP (BX.N), KKR & Co LP (KKR.N), TPG Capital LP, Apax Partners LLP, Warburg Pincus LLC, Bain Capital LLC and Hellman & Friedman LLC, are among the private equity firms weighing bids, sources have told Reuters.

As uncomfortable or as unsightly as they may seem, dental braces are the safest solution to fixing crooked teeth and improving dental health. They’re mainly worn by children whose permanent teeth has grown though people who didn’t have the opportunity to wear braces as children may also wear them well as adults.

There exist different types of braces whose function is almost all the same but whose appearance is completely different. Some cause fewer allergic reactions in users. Here’s a look at what choices an orthodontist will present you with on your next appointment.

Removable and attached

There are two types of braces which have subtypes or styles. Removable ones are worn on the upper teeth and stay in place using metal clips. They’re worn throughout the day and removed during cleaning and when playing contact sports.

Attached braces are permanent and can be removed only by a dentist.

Metal braces

Metal braces are those which we’re most familiar with. They’re visible and wired and have metal brackets ad wires which are held in place by a rubber band. Self ligating braces are a type of metal brace which don’t use a rubber band but rather have the wire hold the bracket in place. They’re more comfortable than traditional braces and have a faster treatment time.

Titanium braces are another type of metal device. Where most metal braces are made of nickel, they use titanium and are recommended for patients allergic to nickel. Another type advised for patients with nickel allergies is gold-plated stainless steel.

Ceramic braces

Ceramic braces are built like metal braces but use ceramic instead of metal. The main reason for the choice is appearance as ceramic has the color of teeth. The brackets don’t stain though the wires do but they’re changed every month so that’s not a problem.

Ceramic braces don’t last as long as metal but are more expensive.

Lingual braces

Lingual braces are not visible as they’re attached behind the teeth. This invisibility comes at a higher price than traditional braces but since aesthetics is held in high regard, they’re very popular.

One of the drawbacks of lingual braces aside from the cost is getting them fitted. Unlike traditional braces which can be attached by any dentist, lingual braces need orthodontists and dentists to have specialized training. The cost of getting them installed is also higher. Initial discomfort is common as the tongue tries to adjust with the new device.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a brand of transparent, removable aligners. It’s currently one of the largest makers of clear, removable dental braces.

What sets Invisalign apart is that it eliminates many of the drawbacks that come with traditional braces. For example, it’s barely visible and can be easily removed by the wearer during mealtimes. Unlike other braces, gums, supporting tissue and the tongue are less irritated and root absorption is not rapid or widespre.
