Probably better to have category system like this: Drawing, Blending, Painting, Texture, Charcoal, etc. That is not a very good system of categories. Currently, there is a Main Brushes, Circle Brushes, Square brushes (or something like that), etc. To the developer, if your reaction is "but Paintstorm's current brushes palette can already do those things", then you are completely wrong and fact remains that it needs to be completely redone from scratch.Ī second thing that needs to get done is to better categorize the brushes. When I say take a look at it, i mean make it EXACTLY like them. Take a look at Photoshop CC's brushes palette, or even Krita. The key is to have a brushes palette that is customizable in a systematic fashion that actually makes sense and workable. I won't go into too many details of what is wrong with it since it SUCKS SO BAD that it just needs to be eliminated completely and start over from scratch. ![]() ![]() ![]() The current crisis began with the Sunday, November 26 elections for president, Congress, and municipal governments.

The Attorney General’s Office has also pursued spurious criminal charges against independent journalists, prosecutors, and judges who have investigated and exposed corruption, human rights violations, and abuse of power. In recent years, the authorities in Guatemala have undermined the separation of powers and human rights safeguards in an effort to ensure impunity for widespread high-level corruption. Many members of these bodies have been appointed through processes that were not fair, transparent, or independent, and have shown open disregard for the rule of law. Key institutions such as the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court, the Comptroller General, and the Attorney General’s Office should guarantee Guatemalan citizens their political rights and protect the electoral process’ legitimacy, Human Rights Watch and WOLA said. This includes, among others, by impeding arbitrary disqualifications or prosecutions of political opponents, preventing the partisan use of state resources in campaigns, investigating unlawful campaign financing, and guaranteeing the respect for the rule of law. They should act as a check on attempts to make the playing field uneven. Independent institutions play a key role in ensuring free and fair elections, the groups said. “They will take place in a context of deterioration of the rule of law, where the institutions charged with overseeing the elections have little independence or credibility.” “This year’s elections are a critical test for Guatemala’s fragile democracy,” said Juan Pappier, Americas acting deputy director at Human Rights Watch.

The States-parties also aggravate this situation by selectively interpreting the rules in their favor, ignoring the fact that reciprocity is the basis for the successful functioning of the diplomatic protection. In recent times, unfortunately, there is a growing tendency amongst the diplomats to abuse their diplomatic status to commit acts prohibited by law and still claim immunity from legal process.

In fact, the Canine Health Foundation has funded more than $35 million in research to improve the health and well-being of dogs. ![]() In purebred dogs, national breed clubs such as the Golden Retriever Club of America and the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation have worked together to identify breeds with an increased risk of specific health issues and to take steps to minimize the risk. As a result, all dogs share strong genetic tendencies, some of them health-related. This makes sense since most domesticated dogs are believed to be the descendants of just a handful of lines of wolves. Many of those disorders that are often attributed to a specific breed are just as likely to be found in mixed-breed dogs, including common health problems such as lymphoma, mast cell tumor, specific cardiac issues, hip dysplasia, and lens luxation. What researchers found was, “Of the 24 disorders assessed, 13 had no significant difference in the mean proportion of purebred and mixed-breed dogs with the disorder when matched for age, sex and body weight.” One disorder was more frequent in mixed-breed dogs and the other 10 were more prevalent in purebred dogs, although no one breed was dominant in suffering from any particular illness. Despite articles that claim that there is a higher concentration of hereditary disease in purebred dogs, this extensive study proves otherwise. Research utilized more than 27,000 patient cases to determine the likelihood of occurrence of 24 of the most common hereditary diseases in dogs. The study, titled “Prevalence of inherited disorders among mixed-breed and purebred dogs: 27,254 cases (1995-2010),” was reported in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association on June 1, 2013. Despite articles claiming that mixed-breed dogs are healthier than purebred dogs, my extensive first-hand experience, and an important study conducted by the University of California-Davis, tells us otherwise. One thing I’ve learned through my experience is that when it comes to illness, pretty much any dog can get sick. I am also a longtime owner and breeder of Afghan Hounds. As you might guess, I’ve taken care of a lot of dogs and have likely seen just about every type of canine illness you can imagine. ![]() Thousands more see our veterinary specialists.

Instead, decided to sit by the water drinking our Rosé and watching the sunset over the River Seine. We struggled to find a table to sit on and also encountered some French local rudeness during this expedition. Some of these places were standing room only, whilst others had tables set up by the river side.

Drinks by the Seine River:Īs we were walking along the Seine River, we noticed there were many barges anchored by the water’s edge. We had decided to take these back to Australia as a souvenir, the server was incredibly helpful and recommended travelling boxes to carry them in.
