This week we mark Shabbat Zachor. Beyond the sequential Torah portion we read weekly, we read from a second scroll of the mitzvah to eradicate, not only the people but even the zaicher, memory, of Amalek from the earth.
Truth be told, there is no greater human tragedy than to be erased from memory. When we speak of the ultimate villains of history. like Hitler, we mention their name and then immediately add yemach shmo, may his name be forever blotted out.
Surprisingly the Torah tell us that if someone dies without children they run the risk of having their name blotted out. It is for that reason the Torah requires the mitzvah of Yibum, the levirate marriage. The brother of the deceased is to marry his childless widow so a child will be born "...al shem acheve hamet, vlo yemacha shemo byisrael" "...in the name of his deceased brother so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel".
We might wonder about the connection between the man or woman who dies childless and the nefarious villains of history. About both it seems the term yemacha shmo, blotted name, is used. Yet the person who dies without having had children may well be a great tzaddik, someone who has done great good and for many. How is it that we refer to their circumstances as alike. Can it be possible that the good person who dies childless really incurred the horrific curse of yemach shmo that we reserve for the worst perpetrators of evil?
Unconditionally the answer is "No!". One who dies without leaving children indeed sadly has his/her name blotted out. To mitigate the tragedy the Torah gave us the mitzvah of Yibum.
However it is not the same at all as the curse we hurl on history's villains. Of them we dont just say "yemach shmo". What we say is "yemach shmo v'zechro". For those who create great evil we do more than talk about the blotting out of a name. Like for the Amalekites, we call for the blotting out of their names and memory. Good people may not be able to continue to keep their name alive in this world without having had children, but they can do much to preserve their zecher, memory.
Worse than being remembered for bad, is not being remembered at all. Think about it. How many a notorious criminal was pleased to know that they would never be forgotten. It did not matter to them that their acts would leave them on the bad guys list. It was only important that they left a mark and would be remembered. They were not satisfied doing the little evil, that might go unnoticed or have a limited lifespan of memory. They wanted to do the big evil, one that would go down in history.
When Hashem calls for Amalek, the nation who personified evil, to receive the ultimate penalty for there unpardonable sin, He calls for their memory to be blotted out. We are to remove any indication that Amalek ever existed. In the end of days, when this mitzvah is fulfilled as it supposed to be, Amalek will, as it were, disappear, in name, in deed,and in memory. It will be as if they never were.
I will share with you something deeply personal. Some 2 1/2 years ago my wife passed away of metastatic cancer. She was only 54. She left an only child, a 13 year old daughter. Before she died she confided to me something. She told me she was entirely accepting of her untimely death, that she in fact had bargained for it. You see, Pamela was a cancer survivor and for many many years. Ten years earlier a spot had shown up on her lung, a recurrence of the cancer that had been in remission for many years and of the same cancer that eventually took her life.
At that time she pleaded with G-d not to take her. She said to G-d "Please don't take me now. My daughter is so young. Please just give me ten years. Just enough time so Bess will remember me. That's all I ask." Pamela then told me, the ten years just concluded. Her prayers were answered.
It was time to accept.
Sometimes when I tell that story people assume that Pamela would have wanted the ten years so she could help her daughter grow. I can see on their face that they are a bit surprised she bargained for the time for what might be seen as selfish motives. She wanted her only child to remember her.
What the puzzled person does not understand is how basic the desire is within each of us to leave a zecher, a remembrance. The greatest curse is to die as if you never lived. The victory over Amalek will never be complete until there is no memory of them left in the world. For the dying their is no comfort like in knowing they will be remembered.
In marking Shabbat Zachor perhaps it would be useful to not only focus on the evil we need to remember to eradicate from memory. We would do well to remember as well the zecher that will be our nechama someday when life is ebbing away. Leaving a meaningful zecher is not about one great gift or heroic act. Leaving a zecher is the work of a lifetime and as much evidenced in the little acts of kindness and often to those closest to us.
After a hundred and twenty years, when our time comes, may it be said of us "zichrono levracha", that indeed our memory is a blessing.
Shabbat Shalom

I'm sorry to bother you, and this is somewhat of a dumb thing to ask but here goes nothing. How do I get to the editing screen it's self. I can't seem to find it...
@TheRobloxMan At the top of the HitFilm UI, there are four tabs: Home, Project, Edit, and Export. You can only go into the Edit tab if you have an active project, one that you've opened from your hard drive, or created from scratch with the New button on the Home tab.
If that doesn't solve your problem, please provide more details about what you're trying to do.
On a side note, this is a completely different topic than the rest of this thread, and should have been started as a new thread, not tacked onto an existing one. (EDIT: fixed by @Triem23 )
Oh sorry... I'm still a new Youtuber

Looking for a KINDNESS update? Scroll down a little bit!
The energy of the New Year got me looking back over my life. I wanted to capture things about me. Just stuff. Little things. Items that might change over time, some things that might remain the same. But just a bunch of those everyday kind of things that you don't really think about, mixed with a few big things. And I wanted to get it captured NOW! That is what inspired me to create this page.
I created the page digitally. So I've got a layered .psd template to share with you as well as the .jpg that you can use as a sketch. You can read more about them over at the Ideas For Scrapbookers blog today.
You can click HERE to download the layered .psd file as well as the sketch.
Today my oldest son and I set out to spread some kindness. We are calling them ARKs... Acts of Random Kindness. Although, some of them are pre-planned and maybe not so "random" Hehehehe!!! Here is what we accomplished today:
My son works at this market and often gathers up carts. I think he was loving taking pics of mom doing his job! It sure did give me a greater appreciation for the people that do this everyday!
My son was such a sport taking photos and having fun celebrating with me, that I treated him to lunch at Wendy's.
* Paid for the car behind me at the drive-thru at Wendy's. It seemed to mess up the system for the employees, but they were good about it!
* Gave a student a ride from the High School where he was working out with the football team to the middle school so he could get to basketball try-outs.
* Gave another student a ride home from football workouts.
* Donated to the Salvation Army.
* Created and shared the digi-scrapbook template freebie!
That's 10. Let's keep going!
I'm so glad so many of you are joining me!!! Here are a few things that have been shared with me today:
*Dawn in Tuscon AZ bought lunch for a homeless man!
*Jenni in IN gave some great guidance and help to a new co-worker that was really letting the job get to her!
*Joy in NM sent home-made chicken soup to a single mom co-worker that is sick with whooping cough!
If we can spread this much kindness in just one day, imagine what we will accomplish by the end of the month!!!!
I look forward to sharing your acts of kindness too. Remember that you can share the kindness that you have been spreading. Simply leave it as a comment on any of my Kindness Update posts throughout the month of January!

A 23-year-old Washington Court House resident plead guilty Monday to a charge of illegal conveyance of drugs into a detention facility.
Isabelle S. Allman appeared in the Fayette County Court of Common Pleas with attorney Thomas J. Arrington.
Allman was indicted in July following an incident that occurred June 29 near Bloomingburg.
According to the Fayette County Sheriff's Office, an officer received a call about a reckless driver and located the reported vehicle at a residence on U.S. Route 62. Allman was standing in front of the vehicle and the officer said she appeared to be under the influence of some sort of narcotic.
The officer reported that Allman said she had taken "Xanax" but then noticed injection marks on Allman's arms and he asked her when was the last time she used heroin. Allman stated, "Approximately 45 minutes ago," and said there was a syringe in the vehicle.
The officer reported that hypodermic needles, a spoon with burn marks, and a white residue powder were located in the vehicle. The officer said he placed Allman into custody and asked her if she had anything else on her, but she reported that she did not.
At the Fayette County Jail, Allman revealed in booking that she had four "Xanax" pills and was charged with illegal conveyance of drugs into a detention facility.
Allman also faces misdemeanor charges for possession of drugs, possession of drug abuse instruments, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The Fayette County Prosecutor's Office is recommending community control sanctions, but she faces up to a maximum of three years in prison and a $10,000 fine for illegal conveyance of drugs into a detention facility.
Allman is currently at Fayette Women's Residential for opiate addiction treatment. She appears for sentencing Oct. 31.

Kyle Busch didn't just win, he took the entire field to school Saturday night. Busch led 163 of the 267 laps to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway. Busch took the lead for the final time with 19 laps to go after a furious battle with Joey Logano and was able to go on to score his 31st career win and his second at the 1.5 mile speedway in Sparta Kentucky.
"It was fun, " Busch said. "Certainly when you have a great race car like that, it makes it nothing but fun."
Busch who missed the 11 races in the first part of the season after crashing headlong into a concrete wall at the season opening Xfinity Series race at Daytona and breaking his leg and foot, scored his second win of the season in just his seventh race back. Behind Logano, Denny Hamlin, who fought back from two laps down after pit road issues was third, Carl Edwards fourth and Matt Kenseth fifth. Having all four of their cars in the top five for Joe Gibbs Racing marked the first time since August 2008 at Michigan that a team (Roush-Fenway Racing) had all four of their cars finish in the top five.

Dr. Nadya Popov-Reynolds
Assistant professor of History, University of West Georgia

NADYA: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the conference Civilians and Warfare in World History. We are Nicola Foote and Nadya Popov, the co-organizers of the event. Words cannot express how very excited we are to have all of you here. We look forward to hearing the papers and engaging in productive dialogue over the next three days about a topic of crucial importance to all periods and geographical areas of world history. Notably, we see this event as merely the beginning of an exciting dialogue between scholars of disciplines that normally do not get to talk together, since all of us have our own discipline-specific conferences. Thus in order to encourage all of us to keep in touch and continue the dialogue, we included a list of email addresses in your folders.
The purpose of this introduction this morning is three-fold: we would like to tell you a little bit about the history of this project and the evolution of our own thinking about it; we would like to share with you our project goals; and finally, we would like to provide some details about publication plans. But first, before we do anything else, we would like to extend thanks to the people without whose efforts this event would not be happening.
NICOLA: Thanks to: Florida Gulf Coast University, who graciously agreed to host this event and pay for two nights for each participant in the conference hotel; Dr. Ron Tull, the Provost of the University; Dr. Donna Henry, the Dean of Arts and Sciences, without whose support this conference would definitely not be happening, and who has kindly agreed to host the conference dinner in her own house; Dr. Melodie Eichbauer, who is essentially a co-organizer of this event and has been an absolute Superwoman by day and by night in helping to resolve various mini-crises that invariably pop up when organizing a major international event; Eliane Smith, the wonderful secretary of SOBE, who has been dealing with all of the paperwork related to this event; John Lango, Kathy Gaca, and Nicole Dombrowski, the presenters who have been involved in this project before it was a conference, and who also went well beyond the call of duty in providing feedback on grant applications to sponsor the conference; faculty and students who are chairing panels and reading papers of presenters who could not be here in person; our fabulous student volunteers, who are going well beyond the call of duty; the Student Government Senate and the Honors Program, who have kindly agreed to sponsor the event; the presenters who have taken time out of their busy schedules to come and join us; and many, many others who have helped in various ways. All of you have our undying gratitude.
NADYA: The story of the project: Two years ago, I began gathering information for a book project on civilians' involvement in warfare in the Ancient Greek world. For comparison's sake, I decided to read some works on laws of war in the modern world. I swiftly realized that the modern scholarship on civilians enriched my ability to ask constructive questions about the plights of civilians in the ancient world. Furthermore, I was impressed to see just how many scholars in different disciplines are currently working on civilians. Thinking that the topic could make an excellent edited volume for academic reference, as well as use in the classroom, I approached Nicola, whose work has been touching on some of the same questions, and asked if she would be interested in co-editing such a volume.
NICOLA: I agreed, and the two of us began to approach possible contributors. Among the very first enthusiastic supporters of this project were Jocelyn Courtney, John Lango, Nicole Dombrowski, Kathy Gaca, and John Cox. I soon realized, however, that a co-edited volume without a conference is not a good idea, since part of the point of the project is to facilitate a dialogue between individuals who would not normally have gotten to talk to each other. Nadya agreed, and the project began to grow in scope, as we thought of increasingly more academic disciplines that might contribute to the understanding of civilians in war. We knew that we had a good idea on our hands as we approached one individual after another, and were met with utter enthusiasm. Finally, in order to round out our scope, we had also posted a call for papers on H-Net, and that way several other exciting researchers became involved in the project.
It is, perhaps, ironic that this conference aims to promote interdisciplinary dialogue, and yet both organizers are historians. The conference thus was an educational experience for both of us, as we came to think of more and more fields that should be involved in this project. One such field became involved in the project through a joking comment from a friend and fellow-participant, John Cox. In the initial stages of conference planning, John designed the conference website, and selected an image – Goya's famous painting "Executions of the Third of May 1808." In conversation with Nadya and me, he later mentioned that he had thought of including an image on the website of Hannibal's elephants, who famously were the unfortunate victims of the crossing of the Alps in BC 218. While John was likely joking, I immediately exclaimed "But elephants ARE civilians!" After some research, I then invited to participate in the conference Rajmohan Ramanathapillai, a philosopher who works precisely on the ethical questions regarding the involvement of animals in war.
We hope that all of the participants and students attending the conference over the next few days will see our logic in including a wide variety of disciplines in this dialogue. We will all have a chance to discuss our impressions of this experience, as well as thoughts about the scope of the project, in the final roundtable discussion on Saturday.
NADYA: Project goals: This project has two main goals. First, we aim to create a new direction in the academic study of war and society, inspiring inter-disciplinary and innovative research on the topic of civilians and warfare. Second, we aim to educate scholars and non-academic audiences worldwide, and especially in the developing world, about the impact of military violence on civilians across time and space, as well as the importance of studying this topic in depth for the successful prevention and resolution of conflict in the future.
It is a well-known paradox that while violent conflict has its most profound impact on civilians, studies of war have conventionally focused on soldiers and armies. Although the blurred line between combatants and non-combatants in many recent military conflicts has prompted the resurgence of philosophical and political questions about the appropriate meaning of the categories of civilians and soldier, while the "new military history" has prompted historians to engage more forcefully with the broader social meaning of war, there has been remarkably little conversation about civilians and war across disciplines, regions and time periods. Moreover, interest has been focused on a handful of questions: mainly the social realities and physical vulnerabilities of civilians during wartime, and the ethical justifications for the divisions between combatants and non-combatants. This project seeks to broaden the boundaries of the discussion by undertaking the first study of non-combatants in world history that is fully comprehensive in its chronological, disciplinary, thematic and regional scope.
NICOLA: The next three days will be a crucial first step in achieving these goals, since this conference will provide a uniquely productive setting for a public discussion between scholars from the disciplines of history, classics, literature, music, religion, sociology, philosophy, disability studies, women's studies, anthropology, archaeology, and political science. Of course, this event is much more than a conversation among academics and activists. By hosting this event on a university campus, and opening it up to the public at large, we are hoping to educate both students and the general public about the effects of war on civilians. Finally, we aim to reach an even broader global audience of academics, students, and policy-makers world-wide by publishing the revised and expanded papers from the conference in an edited volume.
Over the next three days, by looking beyond the action and agency of the most prominent participants in warfare in a systematic and cross-disciplinary way, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of war and violence across time and space. Civilian experiences of war are of immense global significance in an era in which war overseas has become an ongoing backdrop to the politics of the most important world powers, where civil conflict over resources continues in much of the developing world, and where new military techniques and strategies continue to obfuscate the boundaries between combatant and non-combatant. By fostering fuller recognition of the impact of military violence on ordinary people and advancing understanding of how civilian experiences shape identity formation and engender political and economic change the project will also make a contribution to the effective resolution of violent conflict. We hope that the work produced will be required reading for both academics and policy makers interested in this subject.
NADYA: Publication plans: While the conference is an essential first step in encouraging a dialogue between academics working on civilians and warfare, it is certainly not the end of the dialogue. We hope that the conference will allow all of the participants to think more about their own research in ways that perhaps they never had before. In order to provide the wider world of academics, students, policy-makers, and the wider public with the results of the project, we plan to publish an edited volume collecting some of the papers from this conference. With this goal in mind, we have begun approaching publishers, and we will stay in touch with the participants as we hear from interested presses.
In the meanwhile, we propose a deadline of July 15th 2012 for the submission of a final version of a paper for consideration for inclusion in the edited volume. This deadline will allow all of the participants a few months following the conference to revise their papers. It will also allow the co-organizers time in the summer to review the submissions and put together the volume. The papers should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words in length, and should follow the Chicago style of footnotes and formatting.

Squash captivates Grand Central crowd
It's not easy to catch the eye of a busy New Yorker. But drop a 20,000-pound, four-wall glass squash court into the middle of Grand Central Terminal, and even the busiest of commuters can't help but put down their smartphones and stop to check it out.
For 15 years, the J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions has distracted rush-hour commuters with an annual squash competition featuring the top players in the game. The glass court is set up so that the front wall is left open to public viewing. Passersby can check it out for free and have a unique vantage point -- the tiny squash balls zoom straight toward the crowd.
The Tournament of Champions has become a premier stop on the international squash calendar, and organizers promote it as "the world's largest squash spectator event." An estimated 200,000 commuters and sold-out crowds filled the 500-seat stadium throughout the tournament's weeklong run, which ended Thursday night.
Despite the event's long history on the men's tour, women have participated on a sporadic basis, with a handful of small tournaments taking place in previous years. This year, the event featured a 16-player women's draw and a 16-player women's qualification tournament.
Many of the top women's professional players circled the Tournament of Champions on their calendars when the organizers confirmed the Women's International Squash Players Association-sanctioned event last fall. Natalie Grinham, the eighth-ranked player in the world, had competed in the Grand Central glass court last year as part of an eight-player tournament. She looked forward to returning to the glass cage for this bigger event.
"I definitely said, 'Right, I'm playing that tournament,'" said 33-year-old Grinham, of the Netherlands, after advancing to the finals in a tough five-game victory over 16-year-old Nour El Sherbini of Egypt. "I was really happy, obviously. I love to play here in Grand Central. It's a great venue, and the court's lovely to play on. We all love playing on glass courts. And it's such a great crowd. It's amazing."
Grinham put on a show for that crowd, beating Dipika Pallikal 11-4,11-3,11-3 in 25 minutes for the championship. Nick Matthew won the men's title, 8-11,11-9,11-5,11-7, over James Willstrop.
The event draws squash enthusiasts from around the tri-state area, many of whom have made the Tournament of Champions an annual event.
Chi Chi Ubina, 45, is a photographer and squash fan who lives in Stamford, Conn. He has been playing the game for 30 years and coming to New York for the Tournament of Champions for decades. He attended Wednesday night's semifinals with his 17-year-old daughter, Maria Elena.
Maria Elena started playing squash at age 6 and is one of the top junior players in the United States. She's currently No. 5 in the World Squash Federation World Junior Circuit Rankings, and she won the girls' under-19 title at the 2011 U.S. Junior Open Squash Championships. She's thrilled that top professional women have joined the Tournament of Champions draw.
"It's amazing just to see these women play here," said Maria Elena, who had attended the event with her father at least five times prior. "It's great that they're changing off between men and women. It's nice to see and good for me and younger girls to look up to these women."
Maria Elena also appreciates that the Tournament of Champions increases the sport's exposure beyond its strictly East Coast and Ivy League reputation.
"It's so good for the sport, especially because we're all hoping it will be in the Olympics in 2020," she said. "All these people passing by and seeing it -- it makes it so much more global. All these players from all these different countries coming, it's a great representation for the sport."
Squash has emerged as an international sport. Tournament of Champions organizers say there are 15 million players in 120 countries, including 400,000 in the United States. The sport has been rated by Forbes magazine as the healthiest based on cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, calories burned and risk of injury.
Shu Nyatta, a squash fan and player, works at Tournament of Champions sponsor J.P. Morgan. Nyatta watched the men's matches in Vanderbilt Hall through the front-facing glass wall. Though he had heard about the event in years past, both through work and his gym, Wednesday was the first time he had stopped by Grand Central to check it out.
"I came here expressly to watch the semifinal matches. I love the environment," Nyatta said. "I think it's cool. My work hours are unpredictable, so essentially you can just wander up and don't have to plan to buy tickets. It's nice to just be able to watch it from here. The cube is cool and the vibe is nice. It's just a nice thing to have in Grand Central."
While the event does provide a unique fan experience, it's even more exciting for the players.
"I don't know how to explain the experience," Grinham said. "I just get on the court and just try and enjoy and try not to think about the fact that I'm playing in Grand Central Station or something like that. Just enjoy it and do the best I can."

The UCLA Conference to Advance Women in Technology taking place at UCLA on August 12, 2016 will convene 250+ leaders and stakeholders for a collaborative conference reframing the discussion about the gender and diversity gap in the tech sector.
The UCLA Conference to Advance Women in Technology taking place at UCLA on August 12, 2016 will convene 250+ leaders and stakeholders for a collaborative conference reframing the discussion about the gender and diversity gap in the tech sector. The conference will explore ways to advance women of all races, backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses in the tech sector focusing on Leadership and Innovation, Diversity and Inclusion, and Economic Advancement. We welcome full participation by both women and men in order to work together on this issue.
This one-day conference will include two concurrent tracks of breakout sessions:
Track 1. Fostering Women as Tech Entrepreneurs and Employees in Startups and Small Tech Firms
The panels and discussions in this track will explore government, private and nonprofit strategies to foster female entrepreneurship and small businesses. This will include a focus on funding as well as accelerators, startup, and resource initiatives.
1.1 Navigating the Funding Pipeline
According to recent statistics, only 3-5% of venture funding is given to startups with female founders. However, VC-funded companies with at least one female founder perform 63% better than those with all male teams. This panel will address this gender gap by exploring different avenues to raising capital, providing strategies to help prepare for pitching to investors, and demystifying government funding and support programs.
1.2 Success Factors for Entrepreneurs
According to an American Express survey, women are twice as likely as men to run a company with annual revenue lower than $500,000, and the average pay for a female business owner is $63,000 per year. Only 10% of the world's billionaires are women. This panel will explore the strategies to help female and minority entrepreneurs not only survive, but thrive.
The Conference to Advance Women in Technology is a collaborative setting to promote best practices to advance equitable work environments that take advantage of their full human capital potential. We welcome women and men who want to be part of solutions to create tech workplaces that foster diversity, inclusion and innovation.
This event brings together those most directly able to help female tech employees and entrepreneurs thrive. These include:

National Park Service Intermountain Regional Director Sue Masica announced the selection of Jenny Lake Boating, Inc. to provide boat shuttle service, scenic interpretive boat tours, and non-motorized boat rentals at Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. The new ten-year concession contract is anticipated to begin January 1, 2018.
"Concessioners fill a vital role in helping the National Park Service carry out its mission by offering high-quality commercial visitor services," said David Vela, superintendent of Grand Teton National Park. At Jenny Lake, approximately 160,000 visitors are served through this concessions contract each summer.
The boat services at Jenny Lake are currently provided by Jenny Lake Boating, Inc. through a contract which became effective January 1, 2008, and will expire on December 31, 2017. The National Park Service solicited proposals for this business opportunity from March 28 through June 16, 2017.
Proposals are evaluated and selected under the provisions of the 1998 Concessions Management Improvement Act by a panel of National Park Service representatives outside of Grand Teton National Park. The Act allows concession contracts to be awarded with the intent of ensuring quality visitor services, protecting park resources, and enhancing the competitive contract process for National Park Service concession contracts. Guidelines used to evaluate all proposals can be found online at https://concessions.nps.gov.
A concessions operation is a way of providing commercial visitor services through a third party within a national park. These services, provided through the use of concession contracts, are necessary and appropriate for visitor use and enjoyment. Concession contracts are generally valid for ten years or less but can extend for as many as twenty years. The rates the concessioner can charge for these services are approved by the National Park Service and must be comparable to those under similar conditions outside the park.
Grand Teton National Park has 26 authorized concessioners that provide visitor services related to lodging, camping, food and beverage, retail, gas stations, marinas and related boat amenities, guided mountain climbing, river floating, lake scenic boating, river and lake fishing, horseback riding, skiing and snowshoeing, transportation and more.

Looks nice, though I wonder about the flight mode extension of it on the nose, makes it resemblance real aircrafts.
A few years after the Brood War, Kerrigan and her brood start to capture Terrans to infest. She had infested many Terrans. The Terran tried to stop her. They used both psi disruptor and psi emitter to take control of the infested Terran. But they forgot, infested Terran not Zerg. The psi disruptor broken the connection between Kerrigan and the infested Terran. The infested Terran gone free. They grow very fast, they was searching human to infest,they destroyed everything on their way, including the Zerg. The infested Terran will consume the whole 3 race. Is there any hope for Zerg, Terran and Protoss? Actually this mod is Revolution mod. But I have added some new units and buildings so there will be a new race called Infested Terran. I will provide more information later.
Looks nice, though I wonder about the flight mode extension of it on the nose, makes it resemblance real aircrafts.
HOTS Archangel
Then I guess that it would be great as a hero, will you include the regular Viking still?
In any case the regular is pretty cool too, this one might attract too much attention, but you decide.
Yes it from HOTS, Idk what is it name in game but it's model name is titan viking
I agree with Black Overseer, it is the Terran Archangel and is a hero, it would be wonderful if its abilities could be emulated, the 3D models can have different names in the assets file or even in the editor.
It looks better than a normal viking. If you have to choose between both designs for the mod, due to the transformation is available for only 1 unit, as far as I know, I vote for this, the terran archangel. I would like to read more opinions.
I think that this Viking would be too remarkable to have it as standard, in the context most Terran ships are not that similar to real ones and this gets very similar in air mode anyway.
I agree
Super cool!

The following financial market commentary was written by Matt Malick and Ben Atwater. Matt and Ben recently started their own firm, Atwater Malick LLC. Matt was a student of mine and has a really insightful take on what's happening in the market. Ben and Matt have developed a sound and unique investment philosophy for their clients. They regularly write market commentaries and I plan to post them here for interested followers.
"We are standing by a wishing well / Make a wish into the well / That's all you have to do / And if you hear it echoing / Your wish will soon come true." – Snow White, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
Today we are examining what we perceive to be the most widely held consensus opinions among business journalists, economists, analysts, and investment managers. Below are seven thoughts that nearly everyone seems to agree on regarding the present market and economy:
1) "The American consumer will never be the same."
Clearly, the average American's personal balance sheet has taken a significant hit over the last couple of years with lower home values and diminished investment accounts. Americans have also accumulated bloated home equity and credit card debt, and now a rising unemployment rate is adding insult to injury. But, it is also true that many Americans have now deferred substantial spending for nearly a year. Consumers have cut clothing purchases and vacations, neglected to update household necessities, haven't replaced aging cars or upgraded housing. It is difficult to quantify this pent-up demand, but it could uncoil like a spring.
We would also venture to say that spending has become ingrained in our national culture, for better or worse. While a higher national savings rate would be a healthy long-term phenomenon, you can't change a zebra's stripes and we are not convinced that Americans will sustain high savings.
2) "A 'V' shaped recovery will not happen."
As the United States has emerged from previous recessions, GDP growth has gone from a negative reading to an above-average annual reading because many people and businesses defer purchases during a recession and manufactures and retailers permit inventories to deplete. When we begin feeling more comfortable, we tend to start buying again. But after this recession, most observers predict that we will emerge with below-trend GDP growth, i.e. less than 3% annual growth in the year after the recession; whereas a "V" shaped recovery would lead to annual GDP growth of 5%-plus during the ensuing year, which is more in-line with other post-recession periods. There will undoubtedly be a struggle between the competing forces of postponed purchases and the need to save more.
3) "The federal deficit is out of control and will only get worse and worse and worse."
The prospects are certainly dim, but with an improved economy and structural changes on the revenue and expenditure side, hope is not lost. Many people do not fully understand the federal budget. The vast majority of federal expenditures can be attributed to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and national defense. Moderate, but intelligent, structural changes in these four areas can go a very long way toward changing our long-term fiscal outlook. Couple this with improving GDP growth, which leads to an expanding tax base, and the federal budget takes on a different complexion. Don't forget, ten years ago, the Treasury was running budget surpluses and even "retired" the 30-year bond as a funding mechanism. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a Brett Favre-like retirement.
4) "The stock market has rallied too far, too fast, and September is historically the worst month for the market. Watch out below!"
We are somewhat skeptical because nearly everyone thought and still thinks that the market will lose substantial ground in the near-term (i.e. a 20% correction). Investors most likely withdrew funds from the market in anticipation of this predicted swoon. If decent economic news prevails and asset managers think they are missing something, they will undoubtedly flood more money into the market.
We agree that the market rally is overdone for certain speculative stocks. But, in our view, quality is still underpriced in this market. There are many legendary franchises "on sale" with price-to-earnings ratios below fifteen times and dividend yields is excess of 3%.
5) "Problematic inflation is nearly inevitable as a result of the immense fiscal and monetary stimulus."
This viewpoint is wildly inconsistent with the other opinions on this consensus list, but many people hold them in concert nonetheless. If a weak economy were to prevail for the foreseeable future, the probabilities favor a deflationary environment, not an inflationary one. Post-bubble periods are indicative of deflation, i.e. the United States in the 1930s and Japan in the 1990s.
The Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world have the tools at their disposal to fight rising core inflation, as long as the political will exists. However, if we do experience a more robust recovery, we believe that commodity-driven inflation is a distinct possibility. We foresee inadequate capacity in world commodity supplies to support even modest worldwide economic growth.
6) "Unemployment will exceed 10%."
This is certainly looking highly probable. But in a note to clients at the near-term market bottom on March 9, 2009, we wrote:
"While it is impossible to predict the precise future of labor markets, we can all but guarantee that the unemployment rate is going to get worse, probably considerably so, before it gets better. But what does this imply for the markets? As Mark Twain said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme." Our last truly dire economic situation was in the early 1980s when unemployment was not only high, but inflation was also rampant. In November of 1981, the unemployment rate crossed the 8.0% mark to land at 8.3% (similar to today [March 9, 2009]). At that time the Dow was trading around 850. Over the next 14 months, unemployment continued to rise, finally peaking at 10.8% in November and December of 1982. While the Dow temporarily dropped to around the 800 level, the stock market took off while unemployment continued to rise. By the end 1982, an awful year for employment in the U.S., the market was over 1,000 and it never looked back."
If history does indeed rhyme this time around, we would not expect a market decline strictly as a result of a rising unemployment rate. However, if unemployment does continue to rise over the next 6-12 months, it will inevitably be a roadblock to a sustainable economic recovery.
7) "Commercial real estate is the next shoe to drop."
We find it amusing that only a small handful of market pundits were able to predict the first shoe that dropped (residential real estate), but now, all of the pundits believe they can predict the next shoe to drop.
Contrarian investing does not mean disagreeing with every opinion in the marketplace. Without a doubt, we expect some of the above consensus predictions will come to fruition. But, we are highly skeptical that all of these will ultimately materialize. Overall, our reading of sentiment is that many people continue to be very negative on the economy and the markets. To us, this means there is still opportunity to make smart, long-term investments that precede future money flows into the stock market.

The gluttony of news.
It's not surprising that those engaged in this kind of news coverage will say anything to try to protect their jobs. But the fact that some of these commodity-coverage jobs are threatened isn't even remotely a threat to society. They aren't all threatened. We do need some news about, say, the White House . But if the number of news organizations that can afford White House correspondents gets cut in half, society will be just fine. We'll still have more news about the White House available for free all in real time than we could ever possibly consume.

SPORE Art Salon celebrates FIRST BIRTHDAY !!
Dear EVERYONE
The SPORE Art Salon presents its 13th Edition this month of November, and we are so very proud to announce that it has been A WHOLE YEAR since its humble beginnings, created by the hands of original founder and art director, Ryan Daniel Beck, and his team of misfits from Voyage de La Vie. This is a significant milestone for all of us who have had, or still have parts to play in the organising and curating of the SPORE Art Salon editions. We are so very fortunate to be able to meet artists who are 100%, overwhelmingly passionate about what they do, and it is such an honour to witness the magic they so openly share during our salon editions. Great thanks and love to everyone who has stepped foot into the SPORE Art Salon family, and thank you for the support you have showered upon us. Each and every one of you whom we have met, or worked with, is an inspiration, and a motivation to create more art and conversations. Thank you !!
To celebrate the first birthday of the SPORE Art Salon, we have put together a line up of artists we have featured before, in the editions early this year. These artists have since created new works, and we thought it would be such a treat to have them return and share with us. Come meet, mingle and have a conversation with us! You are also encouraged to participate in the life drawing sessions in between performances, so, bring along your choice of sketching materials.
We will also be moving this edition to BluJaz Cafe at 12 Bali Lane - home to many other creative events, artists and musicians. Come hungry for dinner, the kitchen and bar will both be open for orders during the event.
There is a minimum donation of $7/person at the door, proceeds to benefit our featured artists and the pooling of the salon fund.
Visual artist Dawn Ang will be collaborating with Awool, a graphic artist, on a shared piece of illustration during the first hour of the evening. Their drawings will be inspired by your presence, and a 'salon playlist' of music. Dawn will illustrate what inspires in her creation of paper cuts, and 2D layering by use of a distinct style that she applies to her art making, while Awool will play the role of a perfect complement in colours and patterns.
About the Artists -
Dawn Ang
Dawn graduated with a Diploma and a BA Hons Degree in Fine Arts from Lasalle College of the Arts in 2010. Since then, she has exhibited at the Esplanade Concourse, participated at the Art Salon live artist drawing, and has continually produced art and photography inspired by youth, growth and memory. While persuing her artistic career, she has found a love for children, and is currently teaching art in various primary schools.
See photos from her collaboration with visual artist 'Art.S' here >
Awool Shahrulnizam
'Illustrating, graphics and photography have always been interests of mine. Ever since I got an old Yashica 35mm camera from the thieves' market back when I was 14, I have been shooting non-stop and my love for film photography grew, shooting portraits of strangers and capturing the daily lives.'
'I cannot resist a blank piece of paper or wall. Every time I do see one, random substances run in my head and are depicted by use of any medium at hand.'
FARID ASSALAM (featured model)
Farid Assalam, an actor by training, starred his first Featured Film in "Haunted Changi" that hit a region wide audience in 2010. He was first exposed to language and drama at the tender age of 6. His passion as an aspiring artist grew exponentially after getting the opportunity to perform in "It's My Life! The Musical", a musical about Teens, for Teens, By Teens, in the year 2009. Working closely with to 2 of his local theatre heroes, Lim Yu-Beng & Tan Kheng Hua, he realized that one of his Dream is to travel the world with his art. In this edition, Farid will return to the salon as our life drawing model, as he had done so once before -
Farid will also share with us some personal insights on art he had developed from recent travels in Germany, accompanied by a short photo slideshow to round it all off.
BEN CHOW (spoken word artist)
Benjamin spends most of his time slouched over a desk in a dark cobweb infested basement. He survives on rats and the occasional snake while crafting short little horror stories that often don't scare people as much as he would like. However, during those rare moments when Benjamin does crawl out from beneath the woodwork, he has been known to sing, loudly and annoyingly, and sometimes even tap dance. Benjamin sightings have been few and far between, but he has been recorded to have been seen at Blue Jazz, during their monthly poetry slams, at TAPAC (the Telok Ayer Performing Arts Centre), during their fortnightly Open Mics, and every now and then in one or two really off-off-OFF Broadway musicals. Nowadays, Benjamin is spending more and more time masquerading as a Student of Lasalle's BA (Hons) Acting Programme, while secretly using the basement there for his dark and mysterious purposes. It's more spacious. And they have a great theatre. Go figure.
GURU WENDELL and MASTER JOHNNY KIM returns!!
This fun loving and melodious duo will guide you through the touching, comical, and fantastic world of Musical Theater. Hailing from the Philippines, the Guru Wendell and Master Johnny Kim are a truly international collaboration, brought together by their mutual love for art and self-expression. Come see what they have up their sleeves this time round - it will be for sure, one performance you will be talking about for ages!
About the Performers -
Johnny comes to us from San Diego, California, USA and is proud to be a part of the "Voyage de la Vie" family. He has performed all around the world with the Jean Ann Ryan Company on Norwegian Cruise Lines, graced the stage in the world famous "Les Folies Bergere" in Las Vegas, and defied gravity in "Cirque de la Mer" at Sea World San Diego. Some of his favorite credits include "Miss Saigon" at NCT, and the 31 city arena tour with the "Radio City Christmas Spectaular" starring that Radio City Rockettes. Besides dance and acrobatics, Johnny is also a singer/songwriter and accomplished pianist.

Here I am trying to do Life - be married, be a good friend, work, do fun things, do the not fun things all while I have this huge gorilla on my back. The gorilla is mostly depression and migraines for me. Technically, it's bipolar disorder 2 with the migraines on the side just for fun. Many times Life was beyond hard, I was just surviving but with 20 years of being deeply invested in taming the gorilla using meditation, medication, mindfulness, talk therapy, somatic therapy, coaching, stress reduction, acupuncture, and many others, Life is good. I like to call myself a Master Coping Strategist. I'm analytical about emotions, the body, and behaviors and how they're connected. I'm invested in taking action, big and small, that creates a happy, fulfilling, compassion filled Life for myself and for you.
I know that you're doing your best at Life today AND dragging around that (expletive) gorilla. And you're doing it! So, show yourself some compassion and email or call me. Imagine how much better your life can be and how amazing it would be to have some help getting there!

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Ospedale San Raffaele (OSR), and Fondazione Telethon (Telethon) have announced that the European Commission has approved Strimvelis, the first ex-vivo stem cell gene therapy for the treatment of patients with a very rare disease called ADA-SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency due to Adenosine Deaminase deficiency). A child born with ADA-SCID does not have an immune system that is healthy and fully-functioning. Consequently, this system is not able to fight off everyday infections. It has been estimated that approximately 15 children per year are affected by ADA-SCID in Europe.
"Today's approval is the result of many years' work with our collaborators in Milan and is the next step towards bringing life-changing treatment to patients with ADA-SCID and their families. This is the start of a new chapter in the treatment of rare genetic diseases and we hope that this therapeutic approach could also be used to help patients with other rare diseases in the future," said Martin Andrews, Head of the Rare Disease Unit, GSK.
As commented by Nicola Bedin, CEO of Ospedale San Raffaele: "This great achievement would not have been possible without the effective collaboration between OSR, Telethon and GSK, which has brought together years of scientific research, first-class medical practice and expertise in product development. Going forward we hope to build on our shared mission to develop and deliver more much-needed new medicines to patients with rare diseases."StrimvelisTM receives European marketing authorisation to treat ADA-SCID last edit: 2016-06-01T17:30:48+00:00 da

What is emptiness?
An illusion conjured by a weak mind to shield out its weaknesses, a byproduct of a numb heart that fights off further scars, or the inescapable dungeon that you randomly fall in?
More importantly, how real is the feeling of emptiness; how more real is it, than the purported real world that's little more than a bunch of colours and sounds; or how less?
These are the questions that a heart lost deep in the tunnels of emptiness churns out to keep itself occupied, half-sure it can't really find an answer. It doesn't need an answer, though; all it needs is an obsession to feed itself, and a thought that feeds on it. All it needs is to fill some voids.
As it wonders, the question grows, fuelled by itself, blotting out anything else. It grows to fill out the long-formed voids, wipes the wiry cobwebs and whirs the gears of free thought back to life. It grows, filling the empty spaces.
Where is the emptiness? Had it been real?

What are some important considerations when filming outdoors?
A boomer microphone is important for outdoors in terms of not letting the environment interrupt your film with its disturbing noise. The environment to change to a good look makes the film high quality because it doesn't look its being rushed or the film looking like its a mess because a chain of different environments are mixed together in one film.
How critical is story boarding and scripting before you begin filming?
The critical points of story boarding and scripting is that you need plans and lines on what you're saying. Reasons why its important is because you need to memorize and learn how to position yourself in the chosen environment. If you don't have any of those then you'll struggle since you have no lines to memorize and your story will look confusing.
What are some methods in preventing shaky cameras?
Tripods help handle the shakiness of the camera. Tripods in the other hand are quite expensive and are difficult to carry or hold onto since it involves 2 hands. Tripods are used to in most picture taking events such as school photos, Weddings, Birthdays, graduation they're usually there to make the pictures look presentable and neat.
Why might you need to consider appropriate audio levels and sound effects?
Audio effects are the main sounds you need to listen, these audio effects are usually from the film you have captured. Sound effects in the other hand helps make the film look catchy or mesmerizing for those who are willing to watch the film; however leveling the sounds makes the film suitable because you can't have both audio or sound effects in the same level, it makes it really loud and annoying.

Here are my classroom photos, as promised! I think that I have been making SO much progress, but whenever I look around the room, it still looks the same--does this happen to anyone else??! Anywho...
View from the entrance by the outside door. This is after I did all of my furniture moving. I was so excited because it was so clean and I thought I was near finished--yeah. Not so much.
Math stations under the Promethean board. Not ideal, but I think it will work and save some space! Also, my "labels to make" list.
Turn in baskets on this cool bookshelf/book display thing that was left in the room for me--this is right in front of my teacher area.
Sigh...I decided to clean out my filing cabinet by dumping everything out so I could sort through it. Worst. Idea. Ever.
Working on library labels in one of the two large group areas!
Word Wall!! I love those little letters! (I'll have to take a close-up for you tomorrow.)
My favorite thing so far--my Daily 5 management chart. Looooove how it turned out!!
My next favorite thing--my calendar area! It's obviously not finished. (By the way, this board is on the wall in the area where I was doing my library labels in one of the earlier photos.)
Job chart! This is right next to the outside door. This is what I started right before I left for the day. The leaves aren't stapled yet so that's why they look all funky. ;)
And this is my birthday board! I'm excited to get the kids' photos up there!
Tune in tomorrow to see MORE progress! :)

Last night I opened a case of mandarin oranges. I purchased them just a year ago at a case-lot sale. As I have organized and rotated my storage, it has been extremely convenient to deal with a box of mandarin orange cans rather than manage each can individually. The box, however, was sealed closed and I had not inspected the cans. I opened the box and fed each can into a rotating shelf. I was dismayed to find many dented cans and at least one that was leaking. The cans were all dusty and several were rusty at the bottom. I threw away multiple cans and was left with many questions about the others.
There is a lesson here for me. Obviously I'll need to be more aware in the future. My mandarin oranges are the most "unseeable" cans in cases. So, I'll likely open each box in the future and inspect the cans before I purchase them. My cases of canned vegetables are stacked and sealed with plastic, but I can see through the plastic. I definitely will look more closely. I will also look more closely for dings in cans, breaks in buckets and cracks in jars. Hopefully, in doing so, I'll have a more reliable storage and be able keep all the savings of buying in bulk.

On June 27, Texas-based utility Austin Energy got the go-ahead from the Austin City Council to enter into three new wind power purchase agreements (PPAs) totaling 570 MW. Even with a short-term wind contract expiring in 2015, Austin Energy says this will bring the company's total wind portfolio to 1,225 MW and puts the utility four years ahead of schedule for meeting its 35% by 2020 renewable portfolio standard (RPS).
Two contracts with Duke Energy Renewables Inc., each for 200 MW, will buy power generated in Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley about 30 miles northwest of McAllen. The Los Vientos 3 wind project is expected to be online at the end of 2014, and Los Vientos 4 is expected to be complete by mid-2016.
The third contract buys 170 MW of generation from E.ON Climate and Renewables North America LLC, in Nueces County. The Patriot Wind project, located 25 miles southwest of Corpus Christi, is expected to be online by the end of 2014.
These projects have terms up to 25 years and fixed pricing between $23/MWh and $33/MWh. Austin Energy says the contracted prices are comparable to wind pricing 10+ years ago and are also competitive with natural gas generation.
"This is a very attractive time for Austin Energy to invest in more wind energy," says Austin Energy General Manager Larry Weis. "The extension of federal production tax credits (PTCs) for wind developers, combined with the recent decline in power prices and lower demand for new wind generation, means we are able to keep costs down while expanding our renewable portfolio to meet our goals ahead of schedule."
Austin Energy's other utility-scale renewable energy resources are a 100 MW biomass plant in Nacogdoches and a 30 MW solar farm in Webberville. An additional 11.7 MW is generated from solar installations on public and privately owned properties in the Austin Energy service area. Austin Energy has a goal to include another 200 MW of solar energy in its renewable portfolio by 2020. Currently, about 27% of the utility's energy comes from renewable resources.
Editor's note: For more on the Texas wind energy market, including the nearly-completed CREZ lines, click here.

3 Daily Fantasy Baseball Hitters to Avoid on 5/23/16
As is the case in most daily fantasy sports, finding information on players you might want to roster is a lot easier than finding players to avoid.
While you can get away with a zero from a hitter in daily fantasy, you certainly don't want to target guys whose matchups aren't enticing.
Here are three hitters you may want to lessen your exposure to or even fade altogether on Monday.
Joey Votto, 1B, Cincinnati Reds
FanDuel Price: $3,300
Joey Votto and the Reds have an extremely tough matchup tonight as they head into Chavez Ravine to play Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers. While most of the Reds are landmines tonight, Votto's tough lefty-lefty matchup makes him a player you want to avoid at all costs.
Votto owns a wOBA of just .245 against lefties so far this season through 43 at-bats. He did post a .436 wOBA against lefties last season, but don't get cute against Kershaw. Votto's strikeout rate against lefties this season is 28 percent, and his ISO drops from .181 against righties to .070 against lefties. His fly ball rate against lefties this season is also only 17.2 percent.
Kershaw is crushing lefties this season, and that is no fluke due to a small sample size. Left-handers own a wOBA of just .152 off him this season through 56 total batters faced, and for his career, lefties have a wOBA of only .246. So far this season, his strikeout rate against left-handers is an insane 46.4 percent, and his fly ball rate is only 17.9 percent. Stacking against the best pitcher on the slate can be a wise tournament strategy, but tonight, that's not the case for Votto.
Matt Kemp, OF, San Diego Padres
FanDuel Price: $2,700
Matt Kemp has been struggling mightily to start the season, and his price tag keeps going down. He has been rumored as being available through a trade, and it's sad to see a guy who once was a DFS stud fall so fast. He is in the midst of a 1-for-28 slump, and to make matters worse, he is going against an extremely tough matchup tonight against Johnny Cueto.
Cueto has owned right-handers this season. They have a wOBA of just .257 against him through 160 total batters, and they have a strikeout rate of 21.9 percent.
Not only is Kemp struggling overall at the plate this season, but also right-handed pitchers have been able to get him out with relative ease. He has a wOBA of .259 this season against them, and his ISO drops significantly against righties -- down to .187 compared to .333 against lefties. This is apparently the start of a rough trend for Kemp as well. He is hitting just .249 against righties in his last 605 at-bats. With Cueto on the hill, it's not a risk you want to take, especially with his most recent slump.
Curtis Granderson, OF, New York Mets
FanDuel Price: $3,100
Speaking of slumps, Curtis Granderson is another player who has found getting on base via hitting has been tough this season. He is still walking a lot for the Mets, but tonight he has to face off against Gio Gonzalez.
There is also the chance of rain in the forecast for tonight, so risking rostering too many Mets or Nationals might not be wise, but for Granderson, his struggles this season against lefties have been even worse than his overall numbers. His wOBA against lefties is .271, and his strikeout rate is 34.1 percent through 42 at-bats against left-handed pitching this season. Last season saw similar struggles for Granderson. He hit only .183 off lefties in 126 at-bats, and only two of his 26 home runs came off pitchers of the same handedness.
Gonzalez, on the other hand, has owned lefties this season and throughout most of his career. Lefties own a wOBA of .237 through 40 total batters faced, which is continuing his performance against them last season where they had a wOBA of .281 through 170 total batters. This season, they have a hard hit rate of 29 percent, so don't expect big things from Granderson tonight.

Hello Tadpoles,
I just wanted to share with everyone my haul for Rite Aid. I know what you are thinking, "She finds all the great deals". This was pure luck, I stopped at my local Rite Aid and found all these goodies. I decided to buy all of the polishes. I know that I will be giving some of these away. So here we go. Please don't pass out..
So as you can see that I bought a Dr. Pepper at $1.69. So all of the polishes and other things cost me $51.94. These are my first Nicole by OPI.
"Oh, I am fortune's fool!"

With music on my phone playing on high I can hear a little through it but mostly distorted.
