Democrats codify right to abortion in L’Étoile du Nord It’s surprising that this isn’t getting more notice (The New Republic): One day after the Republican National Committee directed Republicans to “go on offense” against abortion rights, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a bill codifying abortion rights as a guaranteed right to Minnesotans. The legislation will shield residents from any looming Republican attacks, even those that come from the courts. The Protect Reproductive Options Act, or PRO Act, codifies protections to reproductive health care, including abortion, birth control, sterilization, and family planning and fertility services. The act, just a page long, guarantees that “every individual has a fundamental right to make autonomous decisions about the individual’s own reproductive health.” The new law comes as Minnesota Democrats now lead all three chambers of the government, as they maintained the state House and governorship, and took control of the state Senate in November. In a midterm election partially defined by backlash against the overturning of Roe v.
Woefully underpaid because of inflation vs. Makes 25 percent more because of inflation.
Five years experience at the company with an intimate knowledge of the department vs. Wants to shake up the status quo without understanding the company or what anyone actually does yet.
Data Analyst vs. Strategic Director of Data Analytics and Integrated Marketing.
Overworked and under-supported vs. Overly schmoozy and getting under your skin with all the probing questions.
Prepares a twenty-slide deck regarding the recent paid search campaign vs. Leans back and says, “I feel like we can do more to tap into current trends, you know? At the influencer level?” Then squints at you for fifteen uninterrupted seconds until a small green droplet secretes from their tear duct.
Cries in the bathroom stall several times a day vs. Never seems to go to the bathroom at all.
Drives a 2013 Toyota RAV4 vs. Rides a weird prototype e-bike to and from a shimmering apartment building you’ve never seen before until last week when those bizarre tremors started.

This article details my experience with all the graphic tablets I used since 2002. This article started a decade ago and receives constant updates and new paragraph along the years of practise (last update, February 2023).
F.A.Q:
Q: What tablet do you use now?
A: By 2023, I'm using a Wacom Intuos Pro Large, you can see a photo and a quick review of it at the end of this article.
Q: What is the best tablet to start digital-painting with?
A: I think a A5 sized regular tablet (medium/A5). Avoid the A6 size (10x15cm), they are too small to draw or paint.
Q: Why do you have many tablets?
A: Ask to a professional guitarist why he has so many guitars. Same answer here :-)
“There is room to think creatively about how to improve learning and love of philosophy via innovation in pedagogy.” That’s Russell Marcus, professor of philosophy at Hamilton College, and Catherine Schmitt, an undergraduate at Hamilton studying philosophy and neuroscience, writing about the experiments in philosophy teaching they’ve facilitated as part of the Hamilton College Summer Program in Philosophy (HCSPiP). In the following guest post, they share some observations about successful philosophy teaching innovations, and invite readers to share their own. What Do Experiments in Philosophy Teaching Look Like? by Russell Marcus and Catherine Schmitt We often think of innovations in our philosophy teaching in terms of introducing new content. Student learning, though, may depend as much on how we teach as it does on what we teach. Moreover, since few of our undergraduate philosophy students will continue on to graduate work, and since philosophy departments are widely under pressure to justify our curricula and classes, attention to improving the classroom experiences of our students is essential.

Our schools are in crisis. The government has missed targets for teacher recruitment in secondary schools once again, and, unlike previous years, it has also missed the target for primary teachers. In figures that headteachers’ organisations have described as “nothing short of catastrophic”, only 59 percent of the secondary teachers needed were recruited. This has […]
