Further along "The Avenue of the Arts" are Northeastern University, the Boston University Theatre, Boston Symphony Hall, Horticultural Hall, and the New England Conservatory of Music. During its first decade, the state rented space for the school in several locations including Boston's Pemberton Square, School Street, and the Deacon House mansion on Washington Street. In 1886, the state built the school's first building at the corner of Exeter and Newbury Streets, and then in 1929 moved the school to its second built campus at Longwood and Brookline Avenues. In 1983, MassArt was relocated to the former campus of Boston State College at the corner of Longwood and Huntington Avenues, after the latter school's merger with the University of Massachusetts Boston. Boston has designated Huntington Avenue as the "Avenue of the Arts", in recognition of the location of MassArt, the Museum of Fine Arts, School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts, Boston Symphony Hall, and other educational and cultural institutions along this thoroughfare.

Massachusetts College of Art & Design

Massachusetts College of Art and Design is a public, independent institution that prepares artists, designers, and educators from diverse backgrounds to shape communities, economies, and cultures for the common good. In addition, artworks in all media are informally displayed throughout the campus, in hallways, stairwells, ramps, outdoor spaces, and classrooms. MassArt is headquartered at 621 Huntington Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, and occupies a trapezoidal block of old and new buildings it has acquired over the last two decades. Most of its academic buildings were the former campus of Boston State College, acquired after BSC was merged with the University of Massachusetts-Boston.

MassArt Events

The essential operation of the Graphic Design Department is to provide students with an educational environment in which to explore theoretical, practical and technical applications relative to a variety of design problems. Through a sequenced combination of required courses in the major, studio electives, technical workshops and computer lab-based courses, students are exposed to intensive critique as well as discussions and lectures. They learn to speak intelligently about their own work and the work of their classmates, in preparation for the increasingly team-based professional environment in which they will find themselves upon graduation. As the teaching museum of MassArt, we help students, educators, and the community to experience the power of art.

The college also offers certificate programs in Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Furniture Design, and Industrial Design. The Fall 2016 undergraduate enrollment was 1648, graduate enrollment was 132 and continuing education enrollment was 260. The MassArt Art Museum (MAAM) is Boston’s only free contemporary art museum, a space to experience works by visionary artists at the forefront of contemporary art.

FINANCIAL AID WITHDRAWAL & REDUCTION POLICY

Our academic and co-curricular programs prepare artists, designers, and educators from diverse backgrounds to shape communities, economies, and cultures for the common good. If you apply for Financial Aid, your cost of attendance will be determined for you and may vary based on your residency status and your living arrangements (on-campus, off-campus, or living at home/with relatives). Your cost of attendance is the maximum amount of financial aid you may receive for one academic year. Design is led by our team of product and interior designers, and done in collaboration with our network of artisans to prioritize local materials, showcase local craft techniques, and minimize the carbon footprint. This entrepreneurial model encourages and supports local artisans and material suppliers, contributes to the regional economy, and assists in the creation of new supply chains. We believe that every project has a mission and we collaborate with our partners throughout the design process — from early visioning through project completion — to develop and implement a shared vision to achieve that mission.

MAAM builds meaningful relationships with individuals and institutions in order to spark positive change in our community. The renovation of and transformation to MAAM was the result of the largest private fundraising effort in the college’s history and we are grateful to the generous individuals and organizations who shared our belief that contemporary art should be experienced without boundaries or barriers. Our public grand opening on February 22, 2020 drew lines around the block, but thirteen days later, MAAM closed due to COVID-19.

It is a member of the Colleges of the Fenway (a resources- and facilities-sharing collegiate consortium located in the Longwood Medical and Academic Area of Boston), and the ProArts Consortium (an association of seven Boston-area colleges dedicated to the visual and performing arts). MassArt supports its longstanding mission through public programs and educational offerings for local schools to make art and design accessible for all. This effort focused upon translating the college's priorities into a building program that enhances the academic and collaborative environment of the Design and Media programs, while creating a sustainable new signature building on campus.

The project called for transforming underutilized space within the Gym building into flexible and collaborative program spaces where a new interdisciplinary Design and Media curriculum can evolve.. Spotlight illuminates the dynamic visions of select graduating Film/Video BFA students, each presenting their unique exploration of contemporary storytelling through the lens of moving image and multimedia work. From compelling narratives to behind-the-scenes work, this exhibition celebrates the creative ingenuity of emerging talents at MassArt.

We do this through architecture, landscape design, furniture design, engineering, planning, research, construction, film, and community engagement. The campus of Massachusetts College of Art and Design is located on the lands of indigenous tribes, such as the Wampanoag and Massachusett. We make this land acknowledgment to pay respect to these communities – past, present, and future – and recognize the painful history of erasure and ongoing violence toward indigenous people in North America and across the world. We acknowledge this part of our history to affirm our values to pursue a more just, compassionate, and equitable learning environment. We make groundbreaking contemporary art accessible to our community and the world—free of charge. We invite everyone to experience contemporary art, exchange ideas, and be part of the MAAM community.

The new Design and Media Center building serves as the formal main portal into the academic campus, featuring a large, spacious entry lobby that can accommodate very large temporary art installations and exhibits. Contemporary media laboratories, classrooms, meeting spaces, project and installation spaces, and galleries are also located here. There is a permanent graphic timeline history of MassArt and its predecessor schools alongside a long ramp at the side of the entry lobby, highlighting and illustrating the accomplishments of faculty, staff, and students over the years. The graphic design faculty inspires and advocates that students not only value structure, surface, and form, but also engagements and interactions of design with clients, audiences, and the culture at large.

The Studio for Interrelated Media (SIM) undergraduate major is designed for student artists interested in a curriculum that supports idea-centered, interdisciplinary, and non-media specific artistic practice, alongside autonomous and collaborative working strategies and self-governance. In 2009, the Campus Center (located in the Kennedy building, at the corner of Huntington and Longwood avenues) was renovated, with additions of a new, two-story glass facade on Longwood Avenue, food services, and the college bookstore. The lower level includes ReStore, a student-run freecycling space to accept and redistribute surplus art supplies, materials, tools, equipment, and publications free of charge. MassArt is located on Huntington Avenue, which has been designated and signed as "The Avenue of the Arts" in Boston. The campus is also adjacent to the Longwood Medical Area, and its immediate neighbors on Longwood Avenue include Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Nearby neighbors along Huntington Avenue include the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (ISGM), the Museum of Fine Arts, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA), and the Wentworth Institute of Technology.

This can result, and has, in Andre not handling pressure very well. Channel is about fantasy (imagining) and desire, and it intensifies everything in your chart if you have this channel (or even just Gate 30). You may often fantasize about what “could be” and then have an intense need to move in the direction of the new experience.

Gate 18 – Correction / Improvement

If you do not wait, you run the risk of being perceived as critical by others, and no one likes to be criticized. The mutation of this contribution isn’t influential unless it is recognized or invited. If it is connected to a motor, it will have a better chance of being heard, but it will still be vulnerable.

Guide to the 64 Gates & 36 Channels in Your Human Design Chart

The ability humans have demonstrated over the millennia to survive are, to a great extent, due to the energy of the Defense circuit. Living in alignment also means trusting in the process of maturation. It’s about knowing that things take time and that rushing or forcing the process can do more harm than good. It’s about being patient and allowing things to unfold in their own time.

The Ego Circuit

This is part of the natural cycle of energy that the Channel embodies. The synthesis of these two gates within the Channel leads to a unique ability to oversee and engage with the entire process of a cycle, from initiation to completion. Individuals with this Channel defined may be excellent project managers, coordinators, or even entrepreneurs due to their inherent understanding of and capacity to manage these cycles. This channel is about social and business contracts and deals.

Defined channels represent the energy that a person consistently operates from, while undefined channels represent areas where a person is open to receiving and amplifying the energies of others. Understanding the different channels in a person’s body graph can provide valuable insights into their unique strengths, challenges, and potential for growth. By embracing and utilizing their unique energies, individuals can align with their true selves and create fulfilling lives that reflect their authentic purpose. Human Design Channels are a critical component of the Human Design System, offering profound insights into an individual’s unique energy dynamics, life purpose, and potential. By understanding the four types of channels and their mechanics, you can unlock the power of your Human Design chart and align with your true path. With a deeper awareness of your strengths, challenges, and opportunities for growth, you can navigate life with greater ease, authenticity, and fulfillment.

But it is deeper than just a fear of making a mistake. This is a deep desire to get it perfect, and intuitively they know how to do this. This knowledge is not based on perception, but on universal truths. The Centering Circuit is all about self-love and individuality. You may notice that your Human Design Energy Centers are connected with lines;  some are red or black, some are checkered black/red, and some are white. Lines that connect two Centers and are a combination of white, red, black, or checkered are known as Channels.

Gates 6-59, Intimacy Channel

Being an outsider allows you to see what the group needs in order to survive and thrive. Your community will utilize your innovative and unique ideas, but you will not be the one to implement them- leave the doing to those with the Tribal Circuit. For example, if you have undefined Alpha Channel 7-31, which is responsible for leadership, and it is defined in the person you are meeting with, then you can try to “imitate” its qualities. So, you will try to appear as a leader, demanding respect for yourself. But the difference with a person with this Channel is that leadership will be literally in his or her blood. You will need to climb out of your way to gain the same authority that another has as a “basic” trait.

This interaction further shapes how the Channel’s energy is expressed and experienced, providing a unique pathway for each individual’s growth and self-expression. The energy of Channel is about exploring and experiencing life. A major challenge for this channel is boredom, which can cause you to jump into situational crises just to feel something. This is emotional energy and it’s important to wait for clarity.

Gate 44 – Alertness / Discernment

The Channel can have significant implications for an individual’s professional life. Those with this channel defined often excel in professions that require deep understanding and skillful expression. They are often drawn to careers that allow them to hone their skills and express their talents creatively. Carrying the 25/51 frequency can “invite” others to bring us in early in the game. There is no defined ‘reason’ built into the frequency, although we can feel pressured to concoct one at first.

And while the need for selfishness isn’t just for the integration channels, it is one of the key components. If you have integration channels, self-absorption, selfishness, and focusing on your survival (and thriving) is a core part of your energy and it would serve you well to love those parts. Which means that if you have defined integration channels, you are here to be very distinct. You are not here to fit in and focus solely on self-preservation and empowerment.

If someone with this channel is not living his or her power and charisma, they can become very, very frustrated. Inside, they know how powerful they are, but they can’t move that energy unless they respond. If you have Individual Circuitry, you are here to metamorphosis and develop the world around you. This energy was the first to develop in human evolution because it ensures survival. You are here to be unique which will lead you to a life as a lone wolf.

Professions such as artists, musicians, chefs, craftspeople, researchers, scientists, and teachers can be fulfilling for those with the Channel. These careers offer them opportunities to delve deep into their field, master their skills, and express their talents in a way that brings satisfaction and fulfillment. This could happen if Reflectors, for example, decide to initiate while not following their strategy and authority. On the other hand, when in alignment, Reflectors will end up being delighted in life’s SURPRISES (the Reflector signature). If you have all of the centers white, then you are a Reflector.

From this, it turns out that the quality of such a Channel is expressed by the property of only those Gates that are defined in it. For a full-fledged “activation” of such a Channel, interaction with a person whose opposite Gate is defined is required. Undefined Channels manifest in your life from time to time, also by conditioning by other people or planets. These Channels define features that are not yours all the time, but that may periodically affect you. They are interconnected by a network of Channels, making up the interconnected neural system of your body on the basis of which it operates in the surrounding world. Channels serve as a kind of “highways” down which life force flows from one Center to another, from one Gate to another.

For instance, their centers (defined or undefined) can influence their emotional, mental, and communication patterns in relationships. Understanding these dynamics can help both the individual and their loved ones navigate their relationship more effectively. The Channel is a manifestation channel, manifesting depth and talent into the world. Those with this channel defined in their Human Design chart have a unique ability to learn skills deeply and express them with enthusiasm and talent. They are often drawn to learning new things, not for the sake of learning but to master the skills and express them in their unique way. If you’re a Generator, your signature is SATISFACTION and your not-self theme is FRUSTRATION.

Fractal Design North XL Review: The Prettiest PC Case Gets Upsized

Meshify strikes an aggressive pose in the Fractal Design lineup with unparalleled cooling performance and a defiant look. Like black diamond facets, the angular asymmetry of the Meshify C carves a space uniquely its own in high-airflow design. Because of the butterfly effect, a small change in a single variable can have an unpredictable outcome. Because of the increase in volume, the top fan mounts can house a pair of large 180mm Fractal Torrent fans, although you won’t find these in the box.

An evolution of the slimline format, Ridge was developed in collaboration with gaming and entertainment enthusiasts to subtly improve their homes and enhance the small form factor PC experience. This can be a fun design element to think about and incorporate into projects. Fractal art has been around since the 1980s but it seems to be having a moment with more designers looking to this style for backgrounds and main art elements.

These conclusions are consistent with the results of the full-factorial 16-run experiment. We have asked our support agents not to recommend any specific PC component brand or brands. Most brands will fit in our cases, and most builders have their own personal favorites among brands. We will however gladly do our best to try to let you know whether a component will fit or not, although this may be difficult at times. Currently, the PC case market is saturated with chassis constructed of more glass than mesh, so anything else is a breath of fresh air. While the wood front panel is gorgeous and hasn’t shown signs of decay over the last year, I would like to see Fractal Design release additional front panels.

North

Like its smaller, older Fractal North brother, the North XL is available in charcoal black and chalk white, with a choice of a mesh or tempered glass side panel. Because we reviewed the white mesh version the first time, it only made sense to check out the tempered glass black variant this time around. The analysis of variance estimates of the effects are shown in the table below. From inspection of the table, there appear to be large effects due to A, C, and D. Unless the AB and CD interactions have approximately equal but opposite effects, these two interactions appear to be negligible. If A, C, and D have large effects, but B has little effect, then the AC and AD interactions are most likely significant.

But it takes what was great about the original and sizes it up for E-ATX motherboards and the longest, largest graphics cards, while keeping the price resonable. /r/buildapc is a community-driven subreddit dedicated to custom PC assembly. Anyone is welcome to seek the input of our helpful community as they piece together their desktop. If you have trouble choosing your components, please check with forums or friends with computer interest (or skills). Our testing hardware uses Intel’s 12 Gen “Alder Lake” platform, specifically a Core i KF, cooled by a Noctua U12s air cooler. For storage beyond M.2, there are a pair of 2.5-inch brackets behind the motherboard plate.

If you don’t have the gargantuan Torrent fans as mentioned above, the top of the case can fit three 140mm fans. One of the few gripes I had with the original North was the thumb screws needed to remove the side panels, and that carries over to this larger model. I suppose it’s more secure than the pop-off pegs that have become increasingly common. But it’s also worth mentioning that the thumbscrews here are very stiff and require a screwdriver to remove. The wood front slats are a darker walnut on the black model than the oak used on the chalk white variant, and I think it looks great.

While the original North was fairly roomy inside, its GPU support was limited to 14 inches and its CPU cooler height to 6.6 inches (without the side fan bracket). The North XL bumps this up to support for air coolers as large as 7.2 inches(185mm) and GPUs up to 16.2 inches (413mm). Another gripe I had with the original North was its lack of E-ATX support. Staying on the topic of fan support, the North XL can fit as many fans as expected from a chassis of this size. The front of the North can fit up to 3x 120 or 140mm fans and the corresponding radiator sizes.

The outputs of the modelling process may be highly artistic renderings, outputs for investigation, or benchmarks for fractal analysis. Some specific applications of fractals to technology are listed elsewhere. Also, these may include calculation or display artifacts which are not characteristics of true fractals. In practice, experimenters typically rely on statistical reference books to supply the "standard" fractional factorial designs, consisting of the principal fraction.

Simulated fractals

Inside, it includes a PCIe 4.0 riser cable and features a stepless slidable central wall for build flexibility, providing space for a powerful GPU up to 322 mm in length. The word "fractal" often has different connotations for the lay public as opposed to mathematicians, where the public is more likely to be familiar with fractal art than the mathematical concept. The mathematical concept is difficult to define formally, even for mathematicians, but key features can be understood with a little mathematical background.

Overall, the North XL looks just as stunning as the original, but I would still personally still opt for the mesh side panel, as I feel like it fits the case’s aesthetic better than the tempered glass does. But if you do want to show off your internals, the vertical GPU kit certainly makes more sense with the glass panel. The Node Series stylishly integrates the full-featured PC into the modern home. With the flexibility to serve as media hubs, gaming stations, or file servers, the Node brings the full PC experience into the common space with style. Decalcomania, a technique used by artists such as Max Ernst, can produce fractal-like patterns.[79] It involves pressing paint between two surfaces and pulling them apart.

A complaint we had about the original Fractal Design North when we tested it was its high noise levels. We hypothesized that the tempered glass side panel would likely be quieter than the mesh variant. Fast-forward to today, the tempered glass variant of the XL model is, in-fact, quieter. No, but if fan noise particularly bothers you, you may want to consider the glass panel even if you don’t care much about looking at the internals of your case. And since we're very particular about our cases, it should come as no surprise that we are equally particular when it comes to fans. More often than not, we create and customize our own designs to meet high expectations for quality and cooling performance.

Kellogg cites a study by the Environment Agency that says a cotton bag must be used 131 times to have less of a global impact than a single-use plastic bag. The tote’s design is straightforward—one large pocket with two long handles—but you can take it anywhere, even in inclement weather, and it lasts for years. The Nook Theory Better Days bag is insulated with thermal foam to keep food and beverages cool.

What is ideate in design thinking?

An object with methods to create objects without specifying the exact class that will be created. Depending on the concrete factory implementation objects with different classes are created. The composite pattern describes a way to create tree structures using objects and object groups.

Common Questions to “Design” Systems Thinking

If you’re ready to say goodbye to single-use plastic, the best reusable grocery bags are sturdy, lightweight and can handle large hauls to and from the farmers’ market. For its heavy-duty construction and handy pockets, the Steele Canvas Utility Tote—which is impressively roomy—is our top pick for most people. When designing within a system, it’s crucial that product designers adopt the big-picture mindset that is required for decision making. The principles of a complex system and systems thinking will help designers as they grow in their careers. The same is true for the process of building from a pattern library.

Steele Canvas Utility Tote

The proxy pattern is used to provide a surrogate or placeholder object, which references an underlying object. The adapter pattern is a design pattern that is used to allow two incompatible types to communicate. Where one class relies upon a specific interface that is not implemented by another class, the adapter acts as a translator between the two types. Sometimes acquaintance is called 'association' or the 'using' relationship. Acquaintance objects may request operations of each other, but they are not responsible for each other.

Software Reuse: Principles, Patterns, Prospects

The bridge pattern is a design pattern that separates the abstract elements of a class from its technical implementation. This provides a cleaner implementation of real-world objects and allows the implementation details to be changed easily. An abstract factory offers the interface for creating a set of related or dependant objects without explicitly specifying their classes. Some people do better with a heavy-duty insulated bag; others prefer a lightweight bag that can scrunch up or fold. We think the Steele Canvas Utility Tote is a good option for most people because it’s durable, versatile and has plenty of pockets to organize groceries and other essentials. Mesh totes offer the space-saving convenience of nylon bags but with an airier, more timeless look.

Public Goods Wide Mesh Tote

Another standout detail is that it has nine pockets to maximize bag space, protect contents and help shoppers stay organized. Available in one size, Steele offers the Utility Tote in five rustic colors. If they haven’t already, designers from numerous industries will soon incorporate a design language and templates into their workflow. For digital product designers, this topic is evolving, and many are learning to design from pattern libraries within complex systems for the first time (or even help define them). Design Patterns was the first book that gathered together and defined solutions in the form of patterns to most common problems in technical design of software.

Materials

“Plus, they are more durable and less likely to break when carrying groceries.” When choosing a bag, small details greatly affect the ease of running errands. More pockets help you stay organized, and zippers keep contents secure. Your choice of material—whether it’s nylon, polyester or canvas like the Steele Canvas Utility Tote—determines a bag’s longevity. Many brands also have bright colors and fun patterns to choose from. Below, we’ve rounded up the best options to handle every grocery store run, daily commute and more.

Creational patterns are ones that create objects, rather than having to instantiate objects directly. This gives the program more flexibility in deciding which objects need to be created for a given case. The Flyweight Pattern defines a structure for sharing objects. However, applications that use lots of objects must pay careful attention to the cost of each object. Overall, the Flyweight pattern’s effectiveness depends heavily on how and where it’s used. If the color is preset to be #1f9efc and a designer makes it #1b3e9b without first consulting other designers using the same pattern library, this could cause a system error.

It shows that you can always replace inheritance with object composition as a mechanism for code reuse. Here, flexibility is needed because design patterns will iterate over time. However, while it is easy to change the color of a button, the greater system complexity must be considered at all times. While it may seem like a new way of approaching digital workflow, the concept of a design system is not “new” to creative industries. At the core of any design system is a language of design patterns that solve common problems a designer might face. Design Patterns are not analysis patterns, are not descriptionsof common structures like linked lists, nore are they detailed applicationor framework designs.

Sure, there will be some new tools for connecting and managing complexities, but ultimately, it is a shift to a holistic mindset that will truly help improve workflows. The idea of a pattern language originated from architecture and urban design over 40 years ago and can be applied to just about any design discipline. The interpreter pattern is used to define the grammar for instructions that form part of a language or notation, whilst allowing the grammar to be easily extended.

The facade pattern is used to define a simplified interface to a more complex subsystem. A decorator allows to add behavior to an individual object, either statically or dynamically, without affecting the behavior of other objects from the same class. The Interpreter Pattern represents a grammar as a class hierarchy and implements an interpreter as an operation on instances of classes.

Plus, it comes in so many bright colors and patterns that it’s hard to forget on your way out the door. The handles are large enough to slide over your shoulder and the bag can be tucked into the included pouch when not in use. Customers can purchase a single BeeGreen bag or a more cost-effective set, ranging from two to 12 bags. Rather than composing interfaces or implementations, structural patterns describe ways to compose objects to realize new functionality.

Ohio House votes to override veto of HB 68, bill banning trans youth care, sports participation

The changes would give those voters four days after the election to provide that information to election officials, instead of seven days. A law banning gender-affirming care for minors in Arkansas was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge and similar laws have been blocked in Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Texas and Montana while lawsuits are considered. A grandfather clause allows transgender people already receiving care to continue doing so.

ABC News

Twenty-two other states have passed a law that blocks gender-affirming care, according to the Human Rights Campaign. Following his veto of House Bill 68, DeWine directed several agencies to develop administrative rules. He said some of the rules and protections he is putting in place go well beyond what is in HB 68. "I truly believe that we can address a number of goals in House Bill 68 by administrative rules that will have likely a better chance of surviving judicial review and being adopted," DeWine said.

Current Version

“In one medical situation, maybe you'll get steroids, in a different situation it may not be okay. More broadly, the ACLU of Ohio is arguing that HB 68 goes against the Ohio Constitution by breaking a single-subject rule for legislation and discriminating against trans minors, among other claims. Last June, two individual proposals become one when the Ohio House folded House Bill 6, the single-sex athletics requirement, into HB 68.

Ohio’s HB 68 is a tale of political maneuvering, veto battles, and transgender rights: Leslie Kouba

Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed HB 68, but lawmakers voted to override his veto. HB 68 prevents transgender youth from starting hormone therapy and puberty blockers. The bill has a grandfather clause that allows doctors to continue treatment on patients that have already started. The bill passed by both chambers along party lines last year bans gender-affirming surgeries, as well as hormone therapies, and restricted mental health care for transgender individuals under 18. It also blocks transgender student athletes from playing girls' and women's sports.

In those cases, voters could cast ballots in their car or at the door of their polling location. The bill, first unveiled by Senate Republicans last week, cleared the House and Senate amid the Legislature's busy lame-duck session. Proponents say the bill would restore trust in elections, but critics contend it's a solution in search of a problem that would ultimately disenfranchise voters. Yost argues in his 36-page motion that Holbrook’s injunction is illegal since it applies to the whole state, not just the two plaintiffs. But Clark argued the bill, in its entirety, addresses trans youth issues. Clark said the court proceedings should play out normally so the state can make its full case for why the new law is necessary.

But ACLU of Ohio Legal Director Freda Levenson argued Friday that without immediate enjoinment of the soon-to-be law, transition treatments will pause statewide—including for the two girls in the suit, whose identities have been concealed. Twenty-three states have passed similar laws in regards to transgender athletes since 2020, according to ESPN.

Physicians have told ABC News that doctors, families and patients often have many long conversations together to consider age-appropriate individualized approaches to care. DeWine vetoed the bill, saying that he agreed with several concerns highlighted by the legislature. However, he said he believed the bill as written would harm transgender youth and impede on families' ability to make decisions after speaking with those who would be impacted by the legislation.

The Ohio Senate has voted to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto against Ohio House Bill 68 in a 23-9 vote. This bill would ban transgender minors from receiving gender-affirming medical care and prevent transgender girls from taking part in girls' and women's sports. The Ohio House has voted to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto against Ohio House Bill 68 in a vote. The legislation in question blocks trans minors from access to gender-affirming care and from participating in girls’ athletics. HB 68 also bars physicians from prescribing hormones and puberty blockers to minors and creates penalties for those who do.

The departments filed proposed administrative rules Friday that would ensure both transgender children and adults are not receiving treatment from what he called “fly-by-night” clinics or providers outside of proper healthcare systems. Physicians who provide this gender-affirming care for trans youth would be "subject to discipline by the applicable professional licensing board" under this legislation. The bill includes exceptions for this kind of care for non-transgender youth. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost filed an emergency motion with the Ohio Supreme Court Monday in an attempt to stop a temporary restraining order against Ohio’s gender-affirming care ban for trans youth. One to ban gender-affirming healthcare for minors and another one to ban transgender women from playing on women’s sport teams. As part of their care plan, transgender individuals also must provide “sufficient informed consent” for gender-affirming care after comprehensive and lengthy mental health counseling, under the rules.

DeWine also proposed reporting and data collection on those who receive care, as well as restrictions on "pop-up clinics" that serve the transgender community. "None of [the families] that I talked to talked about surgery," said DeWine on Friday. Legislators need 60% of the vote in both houses to override the governor’s veto. At least 21 states have implemented restrictions on trans medical care. Curbside voting is prohibited, unless someone has a disability and is unable to enter their polling place.

They must still go through the rule-making process with several state panels, including lawmakers, and opportunity for public comment. COLUMBUS, Ohio — Nearly two weeks after Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed a bill regarding gender-affirming care for minors in the state, the Ohio House of Representatives has voted to override his decision. The bill eliminates in-person voting the Monday before Election Day and redistributes those hours to another time, a measure backed by local election officials. It also gets rid of most special elections in August unless the county, municipality or school district is under a fiscal emergency. Ohioans can cast provisional ballots if they don't have all the necessary information to vote on Election Day.

Local Impact Statement Procedure Required

At least 21 states have implemented restrictions on access to gender-affirming care, many of which have faced legal challenges. A law banning gender-affirming care for minors in Arkansas was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge and similar laws have been blocked in Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Texas and Montana while the cases are tried. A judge in Franklin County put a short-term pause Tuesday on House Bill 68, a statewide ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors that would have taken effect in less than two weeks, according to court documents. The bill also would ban transgender girls from participating in sports. Research shows hormone therapy can improve the mental health of transgender adolescents and teenagers, a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine found. DeWine vetoed the bill in December 2023, saying he believed the bill as written would harm transgender youth and impede on families' ability to make decisions after speaking with those who would be impacted by the legislation.

Votes: OH HB68 2023-2024 135th General Assembly

A Democratic attorney who sued the Ohio Redistricting Commission over its legislative maps said the state will face a lawsuit if the governor chooses to sign it. The bill requires voters who want to vote by mail to submit an application at least seven days before Election Day, instead of three. Those voters must return their completed ballots within four days of the election, instead of 10. Clark said doctors don't have the power to wholly self-regulate, under the Health Care Freedom Act or other laws.

DeWine did not signal Thursday whether he plans to sign the bill, but said the final product improved some "substantive problems" in previous versions. The post Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost files emergency motion with Ohio Supreme Court on House Bill 68 appeared first on Ohio Capital Journal. Gender-affirming care is supported by every major medical organization in the United States.

Ohio lawmakers rushed a major overhaul of state voting laws through the waning days of their legislative session that would change how voters navigate elections. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of two families whose 12-year-old transgender daughters would lose access to gender-affirming health care. Filed by the ACLU in March, the original lawsuit seeks to block HB 68 from going into effect on schedule and at all. It is on behalf of two 12-year-old transgender Ohio girls and their families, one from Hamilton County and one from Franklin County, and argues they would lose “critical, medically necessary health care” under HB 68. “This bill strips rights away from parents and bans children’s access to evidence-based healthcare,” Antonio said in a statement after the bill passed the Senate. “Physicians need to be able to have comprehensive care discussions with patients and their families, but this bill puts them in an impossible position.

He took a moment to speak directly to transgender people during the Senate session. Gender-affirming surgery for minors is not common, with less than 3,700 performed in the United States on patients ages 12 to 18 from 2016 through 2019, according to a study published in August in JAMA Network Open. It’s unclear how many of those patients were 18 when they underwent those surgeries.

Legislation General Information

Additionally, the departments must also collect data submitted by providers on gender dysphoria and subsequent treatment, and his plan calls for the agencies to inform lawmakers, policy makers and the public. The proposal would mandate a team for transgender individuals seeking gender-affirming care that would consist of, at a minimum, an endocrinologist, a bioethicist and a psychiatrist. "The decisions that parents are making are not easy decisions," DeWine said in the Dec. 29 press conference. One of the biggest provisions requires voters to present a photo ID when they cast ballots in-person. That could be an Ohio driver's license, state ID, U.S. passport, passport card, military ID or interim identification issued by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. We will fight vigorously to defend this properly enacted statute, which protects our children from irrevocable adult decisions,” he wrote.

What you need to know about Ohio election law changes heading to Gov. Mike DeWine

The ACLU of Ohio filed a lawsuit in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas on March 26 against the part of the law that prohibits gender-affirming care for transgender youth. It says HB 68 violates four sections of the Ohio Constitution — the single-subject rule, the Health Care provision, the Equal Protection Clause, and the Due Course of Law provision. Physicians who provide any gender-affirming medical care for trans youth in Ohio under this law would be "subject to discipline by the applicable professional licensing board" under this legislation. The bill would ban physicians from performing gender reassignment surgery on a minor, but many opponents have testified that no Ohio children’s hospital currently performs gender-affirming surgery on those under 18. An amendment was added to HB 68 Wednesday that added a grandfather clause that would allow doctors who already started treatment on patients to continue.

A bill that would block doctors from providing gender-affirming care to trans youth and prevent trans athletes from participating in Ohio women’s sports is going to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s desk. Research shows that hormone therapy can improve the mental health of transgender adolescents and teenagers, a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine found. He proposed rules to regulate gender-affirming care instead that would be less likely to be challenged in court -- including bans on surgeries for minors. Voters could return absentee ballots to one drop box installed at the county board of elections office.

Children’s hospitals across Ohio, the Ohio Children’s Hospital Association, and the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians all opposed HB 68. The material on this site may not be reproduced, distributed, transmitted, cached or otherwise used, except with the prior written permission of Advance Local. The ACLU has also cited the recently-ratified Issue 1, which codified abortion rights in the state constitution, as something that extends to the potential protection of gender-affirming care. In a statement following the ruling, Levenson said she was “thrilled and relieved” by the win, but that the legal battle will go on. This bill will make it more challenging for trans and non-binary people, said Dara Adkison, a member of TransOhio.

The bill also mandates that K-12 and collegiate teams in Ohio be “single-sex” and enables athletes to bring forth civil lawsuits against any institution that violates that mandate. The bill restricts the use of puberty blockers, hormone therapy or surgeries for transgender youth. The bill does not restrict the use of this care on non-transgender youth, and specifically includes an exception for intersex youth with ambiguous or abnormal sex characteristics. HB 68, introduced by Republican Rep. Gary Click would block doctors from providing gender-affirming care to trans youth, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy. Gender-affirming care has been called safe and effective by more than 20 major national medical associations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association. The AMA has said this care can be medically necessary to improve the physical and mental health of transgender people.

Some white living rooms can feel bright and bold, but choosing a softer white for the walls, like this room, will help create a more relaxing yet still sophisticated look. Soft colors complement the slightly yellow-white in this room, such as a light gray couch and pale wood coffee table. A huge benefit of a white living room is that it provides a neutral palette to showcase many colors that might otherwise clash. This room may have white walls, but it has plenty of color thanks to a bold blue door, blue area rug, and multicolored throw pillows.

While most of these interiors also feature some colour, what unites them is their bright white walls and mostly wooden floors. The lack of paintings and other wall hangings could have felt cold and sparse, but instead creates an almost monastic, peaceful feeling. Here's proof that white walls don't have to mean a neutral color palette. It's where you spend time relaxing and unwinding, so your living room design should be a reflection of your personality and help ease your mind after a long day. If you prefer a modern living room, consider a neutral color palette (think white and off-white paired with beige, gray and black), natural textures and open layouts. But, a white living room doesn't have to look minimal — the right accents can give you an eclectic design, boho style or farmhouse feel.

As your sense of style changes or if you choose to update the furniture, it’ll still work in the neutral color scheme. Incorporating color is the easiest way to break up an all white scheme and creates a space with greater depth and interest. We love the pairing of this white living room with bold blue accents in the shelving and artwork on the walls. If you're looking for a slightly edgier take on a white living room, consider pairing with black accessories to achieve a modern, Scandi look.

You certainly proudly display a book collection, prized family heirloom, as well as tasteful souvenirs. If you want to create a statement, add a single, oversized piece of art to a minimalist room or as an accent to a busy room. On the other hand, gallery walls are ideal for rooms with and without any defining architectural characteristics. This is because gallery walls can both create points of interest or tone down ones that are already present.

Add a Bold Rug

If you want to stick to an all-white color scheme, there are certain things to keep in mind. Ensure there are details that can bring dimension and intrigue to keep things from looking boring. In particular, details like ornate railings or arched windows can help make the space looking regal and sophisticated. When dealing with a smaller space, white dećor and design can always lend a helping hand. For areas like nooks or small offices, painting them white helps open up those smaller spaces and bring them to life.

Our guide to everything you need to know about common house plants talks you through the options. We will talk you through plenty more ways to style a white living room, so you're sure to find inspiration whatever your tastes. "It's a lovely, happy, and clean white with just a touch of warmth to it—a nice option for 'pretty' homes."

If your dining room or space is likely to host breakfasts and lunches as well, choose something less heavy or go completely minimal with a crisp white. This works well in large, light-filled dining rooms like this one, paired with contrasting black accents and richly pigmented natural materials for a modern look, including wooden floors. Add visual interest through your dining table décor ideas and pops of color through artwork and objects. Take advantage of natural light by pairing large windows with bright walls, white furniture and an acrylic coffee table that allows sunshine to pass through it. We love how Collected Interiors sprinkles in subtle patterns with throw pillows, rugs and wall art.

Mirrors are another way for white to help give the appearance of a larger space. Whether you choose a floor-length style or hang one on the wall, mirrors and white are a dream team. They add a sophistication to any space and reflect light around a room to make things feel brighter and more energized. You don't have to stick with plain, matte finishes in your white interior dećor. Incorporate marble into your design to add a level of elegance to your home. This works especially well in your kitchen or bathroom, but the possibilities are endless.
