![]() Whenever anyone asks for a free alternative to Adobe Photoshop, GIMP (the GNU Image Manipulation Program) is always the first program that people talk about. Luckily, most of the drawing tablets work for Linux/Ubuntu, Apple Mac and Windows PC, so you can use the drawing tablet for different devices that you have.Ĭan GIMP be used professionally for photo editing? So Gimp is not available for iPad OS Devices, Samsung Galaxy and other Android OS tablets. There are certain tablets that only support a specific operating system, for example, iPad Pro only works for iOS and the Samsung Galaxy tab only supports Android OS. GIMP was made available to the Windows, Mac and Linux platform. Yes, Gimp does support graphic tablets and maps pressure, stroke speed, and other events to its advanced brush engine properties.īut you need to understand that what matters is not the drawing tablet itself, but the operating system it has to interact with. Today, there is a much larger pool of tools to choose from ranging from incredibly budget friendly for beginners, to wildly expensive and insanely powerful for the working professional. It is crazy to think that even just a few years ago, the choice of tablet you worked on was pretty limited to only one or two brands since so few were making them. These tablets are often far more sensitive than anything a mouse or trackpad can offer, with the best models offering high accuracy, tilt recognition, and thousands of distinct levels of pressure, which can be incredibly important for graphic design, typography, and photo retouching. ![]() Graphics tablets have long been considered professional tools for illustrators, artists, photographers and designers who need an intuitive, almost classic input device for their creativity. ![]() You'll likely find it more natural, precise and fast than using a mouse or touchpad, and will allow you to obtain a refined and delicate result for your retouching. If you're just starting to learn how to edit images, this will be a great addition to help you step up your game. Because drawing/photo editing with a mouse or touchpad isn't a pleasant experience at all and it takes ages. Photo editing & retouching is a habit that all photographers have in order to offer a bright image that is much more pleasing to the eye than the original one.Īs anyone who has ever tried to draw, edit photos, or even sign their names on a computer knows, the humble mouse is not the best tool for the job. ![]() Need the best drawing tablet for photo editing but for an affordable price?

Marc also gets in a few questions that were clearly his own idea, and the two spend a considerable amount of time discussing comedy and who Obama thinks are some of the funniest comics of all time. Obama spends some time talking about policy, specifically regarding race, criminal justice and gun violence, but he also shares new stories about his parents, childhood and upbringing. Intimate, longform interviews like this with presidents rarely happen, and even if Maron could have been sharper with his political questioning, the best part of this interview is just hearing President Obama open up and have a conversation as a regular guy. Initial reviews of this episode of WTF were a bit critical of Maron for not pushing the President harder during this interview but it’s hard to overlook just how cool it is that Barack Obama went on WTF at all. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) The episode is packed with witty comebacks, shared laughs and fun stories and truly a delight to listen to.Įpisode 613, JPresident Barack Obama participates in a podcast with Marc Maron in Los Angeles, Calif., June 19, 2015. Maron does a great job leading the conversation with a guest that he clearly enjoys talking to, but it is Poehler’s willingness to joke around with the host and poke fun at him that keep things light and fun. Poehler and Maron clearly had a blast recording this conversation, which is full of stories of comics they both grew up admiring and insider knowledge about the Upright Citizen’s Brigade improv scene. WTF can get dark at times, as Maron is far from afraid to discuss anxieties, addiction, and other more serious topics with guests, but this episode showed another side of the show. Consider listening to that bit from the rebroadcast as well if you’d like to learn a bit more about how WTF comes together, what the show has done for Marc and a few additional anecdotes about what it was like to sit with Bourdain for an hour.Īdditional Reading: More Hilarious Comedians with Podcasts Amy Poehler When Maron reshared this interview in 2018 after Bourdain’s passing, he opened the show with a monologue about what relistening to the conversation meant to him. The conversation is upbeat and lively, with Bourdain discussing his early years as a hard-working cook trying to navigate his way through cut-throat kitchens, to his later success and what he thinks led to it.īoudain and Maron, who both had struggled with drug addiction, also speak emotionally and honestly about their recovery processes.

In this tutorial, we have configured PHP and Apache. Sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ You might not want to launch Terminal and type sudo apachectl start repeatedly to start the Apache server so let’s make it run automatically at startup. It will show all the directories stored within the ~/Sites folder, as shown below. After all the above configurations, save nf and nf, and type the command below to restart Apache:Ĥ. Open nf and comment out the following line by adding a hash sign, so it won’t listen to two ports at the same time.ģ. That way, I will not need to change the site urls for all my exisiting websites.ġ. But, since I was using MAMP that uses port 8888, I’m making Apache point to this port number instead.

You simply put the application in the Application folder, launch the app, and hit the Start Server button and off you go.īut, OS X has actually been shipped with PHP, and Apache built in so why not use them to develop and run websites locally instead of using third-party apps like MAMP or the likes? That way, we will occupy less space for apps, and we will also learn a few things in the process of getting them to work. If you want to try out your website or your blog before uploading them to the Internet, with the maximum guarantees and in the most simple way, install MAMP (Macintosh Apache MySQL PHP) on your computer, the quickest way to install a web server on your Mac.Using MAMP is probably the easiest way to have PHP, Apache, and MySQL up and running in OS X. Once installed, we can launch the server from a simple interface, that has just the right amount of buttons so that we have no possibility of making a mistake. This pack of applications is mainly made up by Apache, MySQL, PHP, APC, eAccelerator, XCache, phpMyAdmin, Zend Optimizer and SQLiteManager. Installing and using it is very simple, so much that many users won't have any problems when it comes to using it, as well as including a widget for the Dashboard, with which to easily be able to check the status of the virtual server in the most comfortable way. MAMP, the version of WAMP for Mac computers, allows any user to install a web server on his/her computer, with the objective of being able to test webs, install content editors or test his/her own online applications. ![]() ![]() ![]() Vision insurance, on the other hand, is a wellness benefit designed to provide routine eye care, prescription eyewear and other vision-related services at a reduced cost. Regular medical health insurance plans protect you against financial losses due to unexpected eye injuries or disease. In many cases, vision insurance can lower these annual expenses.Ī vision insurance policy is not the same as medical insurance. The cost of routine eye exams and prescription eyewear can be of real concern, especially for large families. Our staff is also always available to answer any questions regarding your benefits. On the basis of internal analysis, VSP states that the potential impact of this bias is minimal.If you do not see your plan listed here, please give us a call and we would be happy to assist you. In addition, the use of provider location in the numerator and, in some cases, patient location from enrollment data in the denominator could also skew results. For the purposes of this analysis, we allocated the denominator count with missing state information to states using the distribution of known state locations. Approximately 8% of patients in enrollment data do not have a state of residence listed and are therefore listed as missing.This data is not updated continuously and may differ from actual numbers of patients. With a vision of providing access to high quality, cost-effective eye care to the world, a group of optometrists founded VSP in 1955. VSP denominator data is limited and is based primarily on employer-provided enrollment rolls.VSP primarily covers routine vision and optometry care and will not include eye care services that are billed to medical insurers, nor any out-of-pocket or unbilled services.Medical diagnoses in VSP claims are likely to underrepresent the true burden of disease and cannot alone be considered prevalence estimates, even for the prevalence of diagnosed condition among VSP patients. For example, even if a patient has an eye disease, this diagnosis may not be present on a claim filed for routine eye exams or glasses. Therefore, diagnosis data on claims may suffer from bias or limited detail. VSP provides payment primarily for routine eye exams and refraction correction, and therefore medical diagnoses are not generally required for payment. Diagnosis information included on claims is intended to justify payment. VSP claims are intended for billing purposes only.VEHSS does not publicly report patient counts for VSP claims.VSP data is a convenience sample and is not nationally representative, although based on our review, about 1 in 4 Americans have VSP coverage and VSP claims represent the majority of the overall US vision insurance market.This analysis is subject to several potential limitations: However, diagnosis rates in VSP claims may be a proxy measure for the rate that these conditions may be identified within optometry practices. VSP claims cannot alone be considered as estimates of diagnosed prevalence. Medical diagnoses are generally not required for payment, thus their inclusion in claims by the billing practice is optional. ![]() While covered eye exams are always reported by VSP, medical diagnoses in vision claims will underrepresent the actual prevalence of medical conditions. VSP claims contain the age and sex of patients, but do not include race/ethnicity. Approximately 85% are Doctors of Optometry (OD, optometrist), and 15% are Doctors of Medicine (MD, ophthalmologist). VSP’s national network contains about 33,000 eye care professionals. VSP processes claims in every state, but market penetration varies by state. VSP does not report their patient volume, but reports that more than one in four Americans have VSP coverage. But with VSP ® EasyOptions, you can relax knowing your clients’ employees, and their families, each have the flexibility to choose a covered upgrade after they get a prescription from their VSP network doctor. Generally, VSP data includes optometric exams and procedures, diagnoses (refractive errors, eye disease, systemic disease, acute issues), vision correction utilization, prescriptions and materials dispensed, costs, provider information, and patient demographics. Offering the right vision plan for your clients can be a challenge. Managed vision care is a specialized supplemental insurance provided through employers, commercial health plans, Medicare/Medicaid supplemental plans, the federal employees health benefits program, tribes, or purchased individually to provide routine vision care coverage. VSP Vision Care is the nation’s largest managed vision care provider, operating as a nonprofit corporation for over 60 years. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ltd to emerge as a leading concern in its area of operations. ![]() TechWrench and TechAngle electronic torque wrenches give you the easy-to-use, push button precision you’ll need in your future field.
