![]() MARTIN: But does the Mississippi law extend beyond this particular circumstance? It's a matter of these individuals, these small business owners, these organizations being forced to be participants in a ceremony that violates their belief. SHARP: It's not a matter of serving someone that they may disagree with their views. But, I mean, religious people would say that every kind of customer who walks into their business carries sin to some degree. MARTIN: There are people who would say that same-sex marriage is a sin and that their religious convictions make it impossible for them to provide any service that would appear to be sanctioning that sin. All of her business assets are now at risk simply because she declined to do one specific ceremony. She was filed a lawsuit against her by Rob. Because of that, she was targeted by the state. But when Rob asked Barronelle to do a custom arrangement and to design and set up the flowers for his same-sex wedding ceremony, Barronelle politely declined and said, Rob, you know, I love you, but this would violate my beliefs. She knew he was gay and didn't care and was glad to serve him. And she had one customer that, for 10 years, had served, Rob Ingersoll. MARTIN: So can you walk me through a specific case? It simply does not cover that at all and would not allow that. This in no way is meant to allow the LGBT community to be denied goods and services. So what this is is a targeted response to make sure that these vulnerable religious minorities and those who hold traditional views of marriage are not compelled by the government to do something that violates their belief. This law was passed in response to the Supreme Court's Obergefell decision creating this right to same-sex marriage. This law was passed to essentially protect the rights of people, of individuals, of business owners, who do not support LGBT people, to prevent them from having to serve a customer who might be gay. MARTIN: Let's turn to the law in Mississippi, if we could. They deserve to have their privacy protected. SHARP: Well, I don't think that's necessarily the case because this also applies to locker rooms, changing areas and things like that where individuals are in a state of undress. So there is no exposure to anyone's biological anatomy. When you're going into a woman's bathroom, everywhere around the world, you go into stalls. MARTIN: And I'm sorry to get into things that are so intimate, but it's an intimate law about very private issues. And so the North Carolina legislature and governor, seeing this and the impact this was going to have, took steps to reverse this and to make sure that across the state no individual would ever have to give up their right to privacy and be forced to share the same facilities as someone of the opposite sex. SHARP: The primary motivation was the city of Charlotte passing an ordinance that would have allowed, in all businesses and public schools and other facilities, men to use the same restrooms as girls and women. Can you explain what has been happening in North Carolina that you believe made this bill necessary? Nikki Haley, the governor of South Carolina, actually said Thursday that there was no need for a similar bill in her state. MARTIN: Let's start with the law in North Carolina that's garnered so much criticism. He's an attorney with the Alliance Defending Freedom, which is an organization that backs religious freedom laws. To talk more about both these laws - the law in North Carolina and one in Mississippi - we brought in Matt Sharp. The same thing has happened over a new law in Mississippi designed to protect the religious beliefs of people who do not support same-sex marriage. The law requires people to use bathrooms that correlate to the gender listed on their birth certificates.Ī whole string of corporations and city governments around the country have raised their collective voice against this law. But late last week, he sent out a statement saying he's canceling that show because of a new law in North Carolina that he and other critics say is discriminatory. And I believe in a promised land.Īnd that is, of course, the legendary Bruce Springsteen who was supposed to hold a concert in Greensboro, N.C., tonight.

Here are a few test strokes I made with various brush / pens in ArtRage: I think ArtRage really does a great job with the texture they emphasize on how the paint and brush interact with canvas, instead of creating more artificial and crazy brush head patterns. ![]() For example, a stroke made with an oil painting brush has a thicker, glossier feel with the traces of the brush hairs a stroke made with water color brush bleeds just like how water color does on paper. In addition to a very user friendly design (which I will demonstrate more below), ArtRage specializes in creating a more realistic painting experience through the rendering your stroke with the right texture based the painting brush and material. However, ArtRage feels different from those apps. Their features might vary slightly from one to another, but the main differentiator between the various apps of this type to me is mostly the usability design. Art Studio, for example, is one such app so is Sketch Pro. One might ask: how can one iPad drawing app be much different from another? I think there definitely is a group of very similar apps trying to cover the basic functions of Photoshop – layers, palettes, brush patterns, etc. :] Now I wonder if the real oil paint feels very similar in its properties. Even though I struggled with the texture and the mixing pattern of the oil paint, I thought I produced something reasonable. I picked a fairly common painting that I liked from a county fair several years ago – the profile of a spanish dancer. So, I thought this would be a good opportunity to try its digitally.Īs a fresh newbie, I decided it is safer to draw based on an existing painting rather than creating my own. It’s not only costly, but messy and time consuming. I have never done real oil painting before – I always wanted to, but collecting all the materials (brushes, paint, canvas, space) for getting started with one piece of art is some serious business. I originally intended to do my next piece of drawing in Sketch Club however, after checking out ArtRage (thanks to Yuzhi’s recommendation), I couldn’t resist giving it a shot first. ![]() The photo is of his bust in front of the National Library in Madrid, Spain. Finally they went to France in 1939, and on February 22 he died in Collioure, where he is buried. Walker, there’s no path, the path is made by walking. Machado was teaching in Madrid when the war began in 1936, and he and his elderly mother fled from the Fascists first to Valencia, then to Barcelona. Caminante, No Hay Camino se hace camino al andar. The rich-poor, leftist-rightist split eventually widened into the Fascist-Republican disaster and the vicious, bloody Spanish Civil War. That idea goes back a century earlier, perhaps longer. Antonio Machado Proverbios y Cantares Canción: Joan Manuel Serrat. Caminante no hay camino sino estelas en la mar. Al andar se hace el camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. The expression "the two Spains" may have originated with him, but not the troubling observation that Spain had split into two halves, each side hating the other half. Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. That collection also included this tragic, prescient poem: The poem "Caminante" appeared in a 1917 collection called "Proverbios y cantares." The marriage was happy, but she died of tuberculosis in 1912, and the poems dealing with her death spurred his stylistic maturity. He married in 1909 at age 34 to a 15-year-old, Leonor. He worked as a teacher in several cities in Spain. A gentle sorrow emerges from his frequent themes: death and time. His poems often dealt with the landscape and the people around him in lyrical language but critical terms. His works, first published in 1901, showed the influence of Modernists like Rubén Darío, but, after his wife's death, he found his own voice, simple and philosophic. Aqu os indico el link hacia la versin cantada del poema por los magnficos Joaqun. Al andar se hace el camino, y al volver la vista atrs se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. ![]() The author is Antonio Machado, born in Seville in 1875. Caminante, son tus huellas el camino y nada ms Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás. Un Serrat melanclico arropado por las cuerdas y, a continuacin, los metales. el camino, y nada más caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. This is one of the most popular poems in Spain: Caminante, no hay camino, sino estelas en la mar. Con un bello pespunte de guitarra elctrica, se inicia el disco. It works for Windows platforms including Windows 2K, 2003, XP, Vista, 7, and 8 and is available download at the Source Forge page and the manual is available from this Google Doc page. It also allows for highlighting, finding-and-replacing functions, jumping to a particular line number, as well as formatting of just the selected area or the entire document. The updated LSL Editor also allows users to add new objects and items and run a syntax checker as well as anyone who wants to customize fonts and colors. “The current LSL Editor supported only LSL functions, which means that you could not use the editor if you wanted to use OSSL functions so now scripts with OSSL functions will compile and can be tested and debugged,” he said. You may have to do some debugging to correct errors. There is also a number of commands for creating and managing non-player characters (NPCs) and to put text and graphics on a prim. When the script has been saved, test it by right-clicking on the object and choosing Touch, as before. For example, OpenSim-specific commands can force teleports, which is useful for building walk-through teleport gates or weapons that immediately send someone to a virtual hell when they’re hit. OpenSim grids can run the standard LSL commands, but they also have additional functionality through the OpenSimulator Scripting Language (OSSL). Change debug setting ExternalEditor to 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft VS CodeCode.exe. “It has extensive testing and debug functionality, in fact you can test your scripts or sets of scripts and their interaction to a very large extend outside the grid, the debug support is also much better then the inworld script editor,” he said. It lacks almost all the features a modern development environment enjoys and will make working on longer scripts harder. With the new version 2.56, users can also create scripts that run other scripts, LSL Editor developer Frank Rulof told Hypergrid Business, and the testing and debug functionality is much better than that of the built-in LSL editor in OpenSim viewers. LSL Editor, software that helps users write scripts more easily for Second Life and OpenSim objects, has been updated with more support for OpenSim functions.

Since it’s time to usher in the Year of the Ox, it is also the time to do our yearly Lunar New Year shopping and what better way is there than to start with yummy snacks and delicious sweet treats? Naturally, you'll want the lowest value possible, as a lower number represents more bang for your buck. If you're undecided between two particular kits, it's easy to evaluate the options by dividing the real-time pricing by the geometric mean. So, while you can see up-to-date pricing in each table below, the performance measurements don't consider the price tag. We've restrained ourselves from providing a price-to-performance value since it only captures the pricing for one static moment, and memory pricing fluctuates far too much. We rest when there's been a substantial change in either of our test systems, such as a new processor, motherboard, or graphics card (or even new firmware revisions), to name a few. Keeping the metrics in the table as up-to-date as possible involves retesting every memory kit. The discrepancy is because we strive to provide results on the most recent and relevant Intel and AMD platforms. The score on our hierarchy may differ slightly from the geometric mean in the individual review. Then, we ranked the memory kits for each capacity from best to worst for both Intel and AMD systems. Our tests include Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Lightroom, Cinebench R23, Corona benchmark, 7-Zip compression and decompression, Handbrake x264 and x265 conversion, LuxMark, and Y-Cruncher.įor simplicity, we've separated the memory kits into different categories according to their densities. The score results originate from the geometric mean from our RAM benchmark suite consisting of scripted and real-world tests. However, the geometric means don't always tell the whole story: If you're looking for performance in a specific workload or gaming, we recommend looking at the full review of the memory kit you have in mind. Furthermore, we suspect many of you would value performance over anything else. AMD continues to push the multi-core performance envelope: benchmarks show that the 3600 has a 27 overclocked 64-core lead over the 9600K but that the i5-9600K leads by 14 on single to hex core workloads which translates to 10 higher EFps in most of the today’s top games (e.g. We've got those details in the individual RAM reviews. We use a geometric mean of our memory benchmarking results to keep the ranking objective and discard the intangibles, like aesthetics and overclocking headroom. Our RAM benchmark hierarchy aims to provide a simple database that ranks the best memory kits based on pure performance. Companies regularly release new memory kits with different speeds, timings, capacities, and ranks, making sifting through seemingly endless models surprisingly time-consuming. ![]() Only when no significant improvement has occurred in the most recent 4 weeks and the medical necessity criteria above are still met, may the lymphedema be considered unresponsive to conservative therapy, and a pneumatic compression device without calibrated gradient pressure would be considered medically necessary.Īt a minimum, re-assessments conducted for a trial must include detailed measurements, obtained in the same manner and with reference to the same anatomic landmarks, prior to and at the conclusion of the various trials and therapy, with bilateral comparisons where appropriate. Where improvement has occurred, the trial of conservative therapy must be continued with subsequent reassessment at intervals at least 1 week apart. When available, manual lymphatic drainage is a key component of conservative treatment as is appropriate medication treatment when there is concurrent congestive failure.Īt the end of the 4-week trial, if there has been improvement, then a pneumatic compression device is considered not medically necessary. Regular and compliant use of an appropriate compression bandage system or compression garment to provide adequate graduated compression:.The compression used must not create a tourniquet effect at any point.

This order is especially important to know when we have overlapping cycles of illnesses like the flu that coincide with infections of COVID-19, said Kuhn, professor of medicine, biomedical engineering, and aerospace and mechanical engineering at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. The scientific findings were published in the journal Frontiers in Public Health. It also could help doctors rule out other illnesses or plan how to treat patients, according to the study led by doctoral candidate Joseph Larsen and his colleagues with faculty advisers Peter Kuhn and James Hicks at the USC Michelson Center for Convergent Biosciences Convergent Science Institute in Cancer. Knowing the order of COVID-19s symptoms may help patients seek care promptly or decide promptly to self-isolate, the scientists say. If you have a history of allergies, or if you had a reaction immediately after a previous dose, you may also be advised to stay for 15 minutes after the vaccine.USC researchers have found what appears to be the likely order in which COVID-19 symptoms first appear: fever, cough and muscle pain, then nausea and/or vomiting, then diarrhea. Waiting time after your coronavirus vaccinationīecause of a small risk of fainting, you should not drive for at least 15 minutes after your vaccination. While other changes to periods have been reported by some people after vaccination, there is no evidence that these were due to the vaccine. Some people may experience heavier than normal periods in the month or so after vaccination. ![]() They can be caused by a variety of factors including stress and other short-term illnesses. Can the vaccine cause irregular periods or unexpected bleeding? As with all vaccines, you can report suspected side effects through the Yellow Card website. Millions of people have had a coronavirus vaccine and the safety of the vaccines continues to be monitored. feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart.You should seek medical advice urgently if, after vaccination, you experience: Most of the people affected have felt better and recovered quickly following rest and simple treatments. These rare cases have been seen mostly in younger men and within several days of vaccination. Very rare side effects Heart inflammationĬases of inflammation of the heart (called myocarditis or pericarditis) have been reported very rarely after the coronavirus vaccine. ![]() If you are due for breast screening (a mammogram) then you should mention that you have had the vaccine when you attend. If it lasts longer, speak to your health professional. Uncommon side effects Swollen glands in the armpit or neckĪn uncommon side effect is swollen glands in the armpit or neck, on the same side as the arm where you had the vaccine. The main number differences are explained below, and within those ranges you have options like extra blades and a travel pouch. Note: there are about 12 different model numbers for the OneBlade. However, the low price can be considered sufficient compensation for these disadvantages. The Philips Norelco battery is nickel-metal hydride, not lithium-ion, so it’s not as powerful as other clippers on our list and thinner. If you need the product but have a long beard, the OnePladePro has a shaving wheel that can handle hair from 0.4mm to 10mm. Edges and details are light, as the slim design makes the clipper comfortable.
