Geographical scope
The UNECE region covers more than 47 million square kilometres. Its member States include the countries of Europe, but also countries in North America (Canada and United States), Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) and Western Asia (Israel) (see map).
The UNECE had a membership of 34 States in 1991; less than four years later membership had risen significantly as a result of the disintegration of the Soviet bloc (see dates of membership). Today, UNECE has 56 member States.
The diverse nature of the Commission's membership has its source in history. When it was set up, UNECE included all participants in the reconstruction of post-war Europe: all European countries, from east and west, and North America. Israel was added to the list in 1991, following an Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) decision.
The UNECE region is home to 17% of the world population. It includes some of the world's richest countries, as well as countries with a relatively low level of development. This diversity in the levels of development represents a challenge to UNECE, as it must respond to the expectations of its different members. However, it is also an advantage, as it encourages the sharing of experience and knowledge, as well as a guarantee of financial and technical aid to countries in need.

Fayyad meets with Arab League members to discuss ways to raise the $100 million they pledged earlier to his Palestinian Authority.
Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad warned Sunday that his government could fail to meet its obligations to its people because of a cash crunch, and urged Arab countries to deliver on promised aid.
Fayyad met with Arab League members to discuss ways to raise the $100 million they pledged earlier to his Palestinian Authority. Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby said seven countries have responded favorably, but he did not name them.
League foreign ministers meeting in Cairo decided to dispatch a delegation to the region to raise the funds the Palestinian government needs to make ends meet. The group would include the Elaraby, Fayyad, and the foreign ministers of Iraq and Lebanon.
Fayyad told The Associated Press last week that the authority's cash crunch has gradually worsened in recent years, reaching a point where the government is unable to pay the salaries of about 150,000 government employees. On Sunday, he told reporters that the situation may push more than 1.5 million of 4 million Palestinians into poverty.
He warned that the financial crisis could lead to the disintegration of the Palestinian Authority.
"The absence of these funds threatens the Palestinian Authority's ability to carry out its obligations to the Palestinian people, including helping them stay in the territory," he said.
Fayyad said the Palestinian's successful bid in November to gain U.N. recognition for a state of Palestine has so far led only to Israeli punitive measures, including a halt to monthly transfers of about $100 million in tax funds the Jewish state collects on behalf of the Palestinians.
In a statement, the Arab League urged Israel to release those funds, and called on the international community to press Israel to do so.
Fayyad said those tax rebates amount to about one-third of the monthly operating costs of the Palestinian Authority. Fayyad said he now only takes in about $50 million a month in revenues.
Israel has said it used the withheld money to settle Palestinian Authority debt to Israeli companies, and it's not clear whether the transfers will resume.
The Palestinian Authority employs some 150,000 people, including civil servants and members of the security forces. About 60,000 live in Gaza and served under Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas before the Islamic militant Hamas group took over the strip in 2007, but continue to draw salaries even though they've since been replaced by Hamas loyalists.
In recent months, the government has paid salaries in installments. The Palestinian Authority relies heavily on foreign aid, and is already heavily indebted to local banks and private businesses.

Throughout Street Fighter's long, illustrious history, it's always been a somewhat hardcore experience, with complex command inputs and combos to master.
But that may not always be so. Japanese publisher Capcom may broaden the appeal of the iconic fighting game series with the introduction of more casual-focused Street Fighter experiences that make use of upcoming motion-sensing technologies.
According to producer Yoshinori Ono, while motion-sensing "doesn't fit" with Street Fighter in its current form, titles along the lines of a "Street Fighter Fit" and "Street Fighter Exercise" are a "possibility".
"I've been interested in motion-sensing for a while, ever since Wii was launched," Ono told VideoGamer.com at a recent preview event in London.
"But I don't think it fits the way Street Fighter is played at the moment. It does broaden the appeal to casual users simply because of the instinctive controls, but it just doesn't quite fit an intricately balanced game such as Street Fighter.
"Now, there is a possibility of doing something called Street Fighter Fit, or Street Fighter Exercise, that is more suited for motion-sensing games, but that would obviously be a slightly different-themed game."
Hardcore fans will, of course, turn their noses up at the suggestion of casual-focused Street Fighter games, but Ono insists such talk is only part of a wider effort to lower the barrier to entry many face when getting to grips with the Street Fighter series.
"Does that mean we're going to do Street Fighter V straight away?" Ono said in response to questions around what's next for the series.
"Now I'm not sure about that just yet, because with Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV I don't think we've managed to pick up all those people who've never played fighting games. We've managed to pick up some of the people who used to play Street Fighter II, but not all of them, and I don't think we've managed to pick up those who've never played fighting games.
"So what we would like to do is lower the entry barrier for those who have never played the fighting genre before so we can convey that fighting games are a good tool, a good fun thing to have per family. That's what I'll be thinking about in the next few months."
Ono went on to explain exactly what he meant by broadening the appeal of Street Fighter.
"Where hardcore players are at the moment, with all their hyper super techniques, that seems to isolate themselves from the rest of the players. What I want to do is connect those people and casual players together so that the progression is a bit more continuous than it is at the moment, where a few of the elitists deem their skills amazing and don't want to play with other people."
Check back later in the week for our interview with Yoshinori Ono in full. Super Street Fighter IV is due out on the Xbox 360 and PS3 on April 30. For a hands-on preview, hit up our game page.

Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi is declining to release police reports about an officer-involved shooting in Lee, citing the need to ensure the man who was shot receives a fair trial. Legal experts say Velardi's decision highlights a natural tension between the public's right to access information and the rights of a defendant in a criminal case.
DOVER — Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi is declining to release police reports about an officer-involved shooting in Lee, citing the need to ensure the man who was shot receives a fair trial.
Steven Amazeen is accused of brandishing a firearm and making threats toward police during a suicidal episode on the morning of Dec. 3, 2012. Police say Amazeen pointed a gun directly at one Durham officer before he was shot in the hip and shoulder.
While some information about the incident is available in court records, police and prosecutors have been reluctant to discuss the shooting in the 15 weeks since it occurred. The attorney general's office is still reviewing the use of lethal force by police — a process that will culminate in a detailed report.
In an effort to learn more about the circumstances, Foster's Daily Democrat filed several requests under the power of the state's Right-to-Know law this month. The newspaper requested copies of any sworn statements given by officers who were involved, as well as police reports describing the incident.
Foster's also requested records from the Durham Police Department that describe the placement of any officers on administrative leave since December 2012. In the wake of the shooting, sources told the paper that two Durham officers were placed on leave during the investigation.
Answering on behalf of all seven police departments involved in the incident, Velardi declined last week to release any police records before Amazeen's trial. In a letter dated March 15, Velardi wrote that it would be "unethical" for a prosecutor to release police records ahead of a criminal proceeding.
"The [court's] rules of professional conduct are specifically designed to prevent prosecutors from trying cases in the press by revealing the facts of the case to the public before an adjudication," Velardi wrote.
Legal experts say Velardi's decision highlights a natural tension between the public's right to access information and the right of a defendant to receive a fair trial.
The decision also raises questions about the impact of new legislation that went into effect in New Hampshire in January. Former House member Brandon Giuda was the prime sponsor of a bill designed to ensure the public has a right to access police arrest records.
"As far as observations of what happened at the scene where [Amazeen] was arrested, I think that should be public," Giuda said Wednesday, after being briefed by a reporter on the newspaper's request for police records in the Amazeen case.
"It's really a public event," said Giuda, a Chichester attorney. "It's not an investigation. It's an event, so what happened at the arrest scene — their observations of what happened — I think should be public."
The shooting took place following a domestic dispute at Amazeen's home at 289 Lee Hook Road. Amazeen allegedly told his wife to stay inside the house, fired a gun into the floor, went outside, then shot another round into the air.
Police from Lee, Durham, Barrington, Newmarket, Strafford, Newfields and Epping converged on the property at about 12:21 a.m., according to an affidavit filed by Lee Police Sgt. Brian Huppe. The document was made public through court proceedings.
Huppe's affidavit states that police found Amazeen "holding a handgun" while standing in the road.
"Officers on scene ordered him to drop the weapon and he did not," Huppe wrote. "Steven Amazon (sic) told Senior Officer Michael Lyczak that he knows he is wearing a bullet proof vest so he will have to shoot him in the head. Steven Amazeen then turned toward two Durham Officers who fired on Steven Amazeen striking him(.)"
Amazeen's public defender, Joachim Barth, also described the incident in court documents. Barth wrote that Amazeen's handgun was tucked into a holster when police located him on the road.
"When the police arrived, Mr. Amazeen was walking down the road away from his house. Upon request, he produced a handgun from his holster, and asked the police to shoot him," Barth wrote in a Jan. 31 court motion. "After a lengthy 'stand off' during which he repeatedly asked the police to shoot him, he was subsequently shot by police in the hip and shoulder after he made what police construed as menacing comments and gestures."
Indictments handed up by a grand jury last week also provide some new details. Amazeen allegedly pointed his gun directly at Durham Police Officer David Carpenter before he was shot. Amazeen was also heard saying "I know to shoot for the head" or "words to that effect," the indictments state. He also allegedly said words to the effect of: "I have five bullets left; let's see what happens."
In the legal system, Velardi and other prosecutors bear a special responsibility to ensure defendants receive "procedural justice," meaning their rights aren't infringed during a trial.
In New Hampshire, those responsibilities are spelled out in the "Rules of Professional Conduct," a series of guidelines established by the judiciary. The rules stipulate that prosecutors are prohibited from making statements outside of court that have a "substantial likelihood" of prejudicing an upcoming trial. They also prohibit the release of documents that would have the same effect.
This means prosecutors are barred from talking about the "character, credibility, reputation or criminal record" of a suspect. They are still allowed to talk about the "fact, time and place" of the suspect's arrest, and the "claim" against the suspect.
Prosecutors must also refrain from making any comments outside the courtroom that have a "substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of the accused."
These ethical responsibilities don't extend to police departments, which maintain their own arrest records. However, prosecutors must exercise "reasonable care" to prevent police and investigators from making any statements that would prejudice the case.
In the eyes of Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia M. LaFrance, that means prosecutors cannot release any information about someone's criminal record before a trial — including police records that describe the new allegations against them. LaFrance said she would prevent police from releasing any reports that are not already in the public domain.
"I need to exercise reasonable care," she said. "If they called me about it, I would say, 'No, you can't release it. That's going to prejudice the case.'"
Merrimack County Attorney Scott W. Murray offered a less restrictive interpretation of the rules of conduct. Murray said he hasn't faced a situation in which a member of the press asked for police records before a trial, but he believes the rules do not call for a broad denial of information.
"It isn't, like, an absolute ban on the release of any police reports," he said.
New Hampshire lawmakers have taken pains in the last year to ensure that the public has a right to understand circumstances that lead to an arrest. A statute that went into effect on Jan. 1 stipulates that arrest records are, by definition, subject to public disclosure.
An arrest record must include, at a minimum: the identity of the individual arrested; the identity of the arresting officer or officers; and a statement explaining why and how an arrest was made.
"The fact is that many times, police officers will change the story, or maybe not remember the story ... between the arrest and trial," said Giuda, who spearheaded the change, "so the best record of anything that ever happens is, as you know, an immediate writing down of what happened and the circumstances surrounding it."
However, legal experts offered differing views this week of how the statute should be interpreted.
Murray, the Merrimack County attorney, took a less expansive view of the disclosure requirements. He said "arrest records" should be construed only as basic administrative information — such as the person's name and the time of arrest.
LaFrance, in Hillsborough County, said she doesn't believe the new law impacts her duties as a prosecutor. The law stipulates that arrest records are "governmental records," but does not explicitly identify them as "public records," she said, meaning exemptions for police activity still apply.
"You can't make a law to force me to violate my ethical obligations," she said.
Velardi took the same view in a recent interview.
"I don't know if anyone's ever reconciled that [arrest record] law with my responsibility not to disclose those facts under the Rules of Professional Conduct," he said.
Concord attorney Bill Chapman, who is regarded as an authority on the state's public disclosure laws, said the question appears to fall into a gray area.
"I would think that that [arrest record] statute, because it's very precise, is going to trump any prosecutor's reluctance to release an arrest record," he said.
New Hampshire courts have taken a strong stance in favor of the public's right to access government records. Nevertheless, the state's Right-to-Know law contains several exemptions.
When it comes to records that were compiled during a police investigation, the courts have adopted the view that six types of police records may be exempt from public disclosure.
One such exemption is granted for police records that would interfere with an ongoing law enforcement proceeding if they were divulged to the public. Velardi invoked this exemption in his objection to the Right-to-Know requests filed by Foster's.
Granting the public access to police reports could "reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings" in Amazeen's case, according to Velardi. Publishing details from the police reports as "unproved fact" would detract from the trial process, he wrote.
Velardi also argues that Amazeen would be deprived of the right to a fair trial if the documents are released — another exemption recognized by the courts.
Chapman says that Velardi is correct in asserting that some police records can be withheld while a law enforcement operation is ongoing. However, courts will favor disclosure whenever possible, and public officials must prove their case for keeping information secret.
"There is an exemption for ongoing investigation," Chapman said, "but the burden is on the county attorney to demonstrate the records he does not want released, if released, would interfere with the investigation."
So when is a law enforcement investigation deemed to be complete?
Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell is the woman in charge of the investigation into the use of lethal force against Amazeen.
"I think it's fair to say the investigation is complete," Morrell said Wednesday. A report on the incident is still pending, she said.
Nevertheless, the investigation into police conduct is separate from the criminal proceedings in Strafford County, which fall under Velardi's purview.
Ultimately, requests for police investigative records often come down to the discretion of a judge, according to Manchester attorney Dean B. Eggert, of the law firm Wadleigh, Starr & Peters, since they involve competing constitutional rights.
"While there's still a strong constitutional interest on the ... sunshining of the actions of our criminal justice system, you run into a competing constitutional value, which is the right to a fair trial," he said.
Still, Giuda worries that public officials in New Hampshire err on the side of secrecy far too often."It just scares me how many incidents we see in New Hampshire of things being held as secret or not disclosed when they should be," he said.

Police secure and remove bomb from local creek
Officers have pieces of what's left of the bomb inside the Bentonville bomb squad headquarters. Bomb squad commander Russell Hinds said they're next move is transferring the evidence to Alcohol tobacco and firearms in Fort Smith. "Once they contact the ATF and decide how they want to pursue the investigation we can turn the evidence over to the ATF or FBI and they can send it to their forensic lab," said Hinds.
Since its Washington County's investigation the sheriff's office will decide what to do next. Officers said they received a call Saturday afternoon from 2 men who were driving by a creek Hog eye, near Kettle Springs road when they saw a device lying in the water.
Hinds said they found nothing else suspicious in the area. "We searched the area pretty good around the area where this device was there were no threats associated with the device we don't know why it was there," said Hinds.
Currently investigators don't know how the bomb got there, or exactly what type of explosive it is. "I don't know if it was an old bomb, new bomb a freshly made bomb it did not function," said Hinds. The Bentonville bomb squad said they used their robot to check and see if the bomb would explode and it didn't.

On November 25, Dani Buarque of the "Lokaos Rock Show" conducted an interview with Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCETY, OZZY OSBOURNE) at HSBC Brasil in São Paulo, Brazil. You can now watch the chat below
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY's long-talked-about "Unblackened" DVD, which was previously scheduled to be filmed in late August at The Mayan in Los Angeles, California, will now be shot in January. The set is expected to contain stripped-down versions of some of the band's most popular cuts.
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY's "The Song Remains Not The Same" sold around 12,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 41 on The Billboard 200 chart. Released on May 10, 2011 via Entertainment One Music, the offering featured unplugged versions of material from BLACK LABEL SOCIETY's latest album, "Order Of The Black", as well as additional material recorded during the "Order Of The Black" sessions. "The Song Remains Not The Same" was conceived, created and compiled by Wylde himself and the title is, of course, a nod to one of Wylde's favorite bands, LED ZEPPELIN.
"Order Of The Black" was released in North America in August 2010 via E1 Music. The CD featured four unique covers designed by Zakk Wylde himself — one for each territory: North America, Europe, Asia and Australia/New Zealand.

Spanish is the primary language for millions of people in Europe and Latin America. As a result, it is an indispensable vehicle to understand the literature and culture of Spain, México, Argentina, Uruguay, Guatemala, Venezuela, Ecuador, and many other countries.In addition, during the last fifty years, Spanish has rapidly evolved into this country's second language. Spanish is used on a daily basis in almost every state of the union. The study of Spanish, therefore, not only allows entry into a community of speakers endowed with a rich and diverse culture, but also it enhances employment opportunities in such fields as business, social work, the health professions, hotel management, travel and tourism, international law, communications, public administration, law enforcement, education, and many more. Many Spanish majors opt as well to pursue their passion for language, literature, and culture at the graduate level.
The department offers:
At UNF, many students choose to satisfy the College of Arts and Sciences Foreign Language/Foreign Culture requirement by taking Spanish. Both the International Business and the International Studies major require the completion of two years of a foreign language. Also, given the language's ever-increasing popularity, numerous UNF students opt to couple their studies in other areas with a major in Spanish so as to expand their professional options.The Department encourages students to study abroad by working in conjunction with the UNF International Center. The Department sponsors a summer program in Santander, Spain. Given a special arrangement, students may also study for a semester at the University of Alcalá de Henares (Spain), the University of Cantabria (Santander), or they may enroll in other study abroad programs in different areas of the Spanish-speaking world.
Students may earn a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish by completing 30 credit hours of courses in Spanish above the 2000 level. The Spanish BA program offers courses in three broad content areas: Spanish Language; Hispanic Culture; and Hispanic Literature. Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in all prerequisite and core/major courses.In addition to satisfying general university criteria for admission, students wishing to enter the degree program leading to the BA in Spanish must have prior preparation in Spanish equivalent to the intermediate level.

When Sony announced the PS 2 In March, 1999, Microsoft had no presence in consoles, and only a small piece in the game business with niche titles for PCs like Microsoft Flight Simulator. The long standing vision of Bill Gates: a PC on every desk' was near, but Microsoft had no presence in the living rooms. Sony had 47 percent of the game console market with PlayStation and had left erstwhile leaders, Sega and Nintendo, behind.
This was to change as announced on September 20, 2000. J. Allard, then general manager of Xbox, and John O'Rourke, director of Xbox marketing, unveiled the logo for the upcoming game console at a news conference in San Francisco.
November 14, 2001 was a special night. Bill Gates and his men were at the New York's Times Square waiting for the midnight for the official launch. The excitement was mixed with fear. It wasn't a software program this time. Shortly after midnight, Bill Gates handed over the first Xbox video game system ever to Edward Glucksman at the Toys "R" Us store.
Microsoft sold 1.5 million Xbox units in the US between the launch and the end of calendar year 2001, making Xbox the best-selling video game console launch. On March 14, 2002, several midnight events throughout Europe marked the launch of Xbox in 16 European countries and Australia. Microsoft's second console, the Xbox 360, and the associated game business rake in more than $1 billion in profits every year now.
Xbox LIVE
Microsoft introduced Xbox LIVE in November 2002 and sold 150,000 Xbox LIVE Starter Kits in the service's first week. Xbox LIVE currently has 35 million members worldwide who spend 2.1 billion hours a month on the service. It is one of the earliest successes in the social market, and also made online console gaming a reality.
June 14, 2010 marked the Microsoft's next bet in the gaming and entertainment business. However, this time it wasn't a business diversification, but a technological progression. Microsoft demonstrated a controller-free experience that allows players to jump, dodge and kick their way through exciting adventures, at E3 2010 in Los Angeles. It was called Project Natal.
The night of November 3, 2010 was different than the one 9 years ago. Bill Gates wasn't there at the Times Square. The square, however, was draped in purple and Microsoft hosted a dance party with thousands to celebrate the launch of Project Natal, now branded as Kinect for Xbox 360. The crowd lined up to be among the first to buy Kinect at midnight at the Toys "R" Us store in Times Square. Kinect for Xbox 360 set a Guinness World Record as the fastest-selling consumer electronic device, selling 8 million units in 60 days.

How Apple and Facebook Nearly Fell Out — Over the HP TouchPad [EXCLUSIVE]
Tech titans Facebook and Apple have a contentious relationship that is frequently put to the test. But a Facebook for TouchPad application was very nearly the last straw, Mashable has learned from multiple sources.
Facebook and Apple, united by a common interest in beating Google, will finally put their differences aside to launch the long-overdue Facebook for iPad app Tuesday.
We also expect announcements on a new Facebook for iPhone application, a Facebook HTML5 mobile app platform, and perhaps even Facebook integration in iOS 5.
This all marks a significant leap forward in the sometimes hostile Facebook and Apple relationship. It began well when Apple first set up an Apple Students group on Facebook in 2006 — "a monster success" for both companies, according to a source who spoke with Mashable on the condition of anonymity.
But the companies would butt heads many times in the following years.
How Ping Went Wrong
The most publicized confrontation involved Ping, Apple's attempt at an iTunes social network. Ping first launched with Facebook integration in September 2010, but Facebook quickly pulled Apple's access to its APIs. This alerted the media to a growing rift between the companies.
A source familiar with the chain of the events attributes the Ping debacle to a disagreement over iOS 4. Apple had fully integrated Facebook into the iPhone and iPad's operating system, and was ready to launch the mobile-social fusion when API negotiations broke down. Apple, lacking confidence in Facebook's ability to build a great application, asked to build its own Facebook for iPhone app. Facebook responded with a firm no. Negotiations came to halt.
Meanwhile, Apple was working away on Ping — and due to the stalled iOS 4 talks, decided to keep Facebook mostly out of the loop. Facebook, surprised by Ping's launch, turned off Apple's access to its APIs. The rest was history.
Jobs vs. Zuck
Facebook for iPad Leak
Roughly three months ago, Steve Jobs — then the Apple CEO — paid a visit to Facebook to discuss a Facebook for iPad application with CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Zuckerberg promised Jobs that the social network would release its first ever tablet application for iPad. Jobs, however, learned during his visit that HP was about to release a native webOS Facebook application for the TouchPad.
Indeed, back on February 9, 2011 — the date HP revealed its almost defunct TouchPad tablet — HP SVP of Applications and Services Steven McArthur did tout the fact that the company had been working closely with Facebook.
The Facebook application that HP finally launched in July, however, appears to be an unofficial build that disappointed users.
So what happened to the rich Facebook for TouchPad application that HP promised?
HP Plays the Cuckold
When Jobs learned of the webOS Facebook app during his summer visit to Facebook, he was livid. Zuckerberg vowed to get the app pulled. But Jon Rubinstein, the former CEO of Palm and then the GM of HP's webOS division, refused to halt the release of the app. Facebook responded by restricting HP's access to its APIs — just as it had done with Apple's Ping, a year earlier.
Was Facebook playing both sides? Absolutely, says a source close to HP. Facebook was made aware of the application and device integrations. The company knew what was coming, changed its tune right before release — and only did so to appease Apple.
For its part, HP was furious. It had hoped the Facebook application would help differentiate the TouchPad from other tablets on the market. Another source says that HP may have considered legal action. In any case, the TouchPad was discontinued shortly after.
Kiss and Make Up?
So Facebook and HP may be on the outs, but Facebook and Apple appear to have patched up their differences.
Not only are the pair finally aligned on the Facebook for iPad application, but they've been working together closely on Facebook's HTML 5 mobile app platform.
This is the closest Apple and Facebook have been to creating something meaningful together, one source says. They're partnering because they share a common enemy: Google.
Still, there are no guarantees. Both companies are said to be scrambling to work out the final details prior to the iPhone 5 launch event on Oct. 4.
We've reached out to Apple, Facebook and HP for on-the-record comment.
Mashable's Editor at Large Ben Parr and Entertainment Editor Christina Warren contributed to the reporting of this story.

EA has finally shared some Battlefield 3 details with fans—you can read and see even more in the latest issue of Game Informer—and what we know makes us very hopeful about the title. At least some of our wishlist has been granted.
"Battlefield 3 is the true successor to Battlefield 2. Beyond our signature multiplayer, we have also included a full single-player campaign and a co-op campaign—all straight out of the box," the official site states. "As for fan favorite features, how does the return of jets, prone, and 64-player multiplayer (on PC) sound?" There is also a short teaser, but it doesn't show much in the way of actual gameplay.
So what do we still want? Dedicated servers where we have a high level of control over game settings, as well as modding tools and the ability to create maps and game modes. I doubt we'll get those things due to the challenge of keeping things fair and cheat-free as players level up their characters, but we can dream.
We'll know more about the game as we head towards the Game Developers Conference. Battlefield 3 is coming to the PS3, 360, and PC this fall.

See that you don't despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. For the Son of Man came to save that which was lost.
"What do you think? If a man has one hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, doesn't he leave the ninety-nine, go to the mountains, and seek that which has gone astray? If he finds it, most certainly I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

@GrayMotion it worked when I did what I suggested - with a couple of keyframes to keep the flare facing forwards - so sorry if I didn't explain it properly as I was only guessing at the time. I won't sully this thread with a solution video, as that animation was amazing, but I'll PM it to you.
3 egg nog cheer! @Palacono
Your video was a real gift to my knowledge. It absolutely works as you described. I was trying to do it with a ....hate to admit it........ but a grade layer instead of making a flare comp on a plane and then of course DEMULT. Duh.
Thank you!
@GrayMotion Good going. Your particles and flare look great!
@Graymotion Your "experience points" far outstrip mine here. Very nice animation! I feel silly for chiming in now. Loved the opening spiral particle trail.

Wow your Merry Christmas vid looks amazing. I suddenly feel the urge to bury any silly ideas I had for a Christmas vid in a large hole with concrete layered over the top.

Testing water and reflections. My "lake" is a little roily.
The shore needs break water though. I've been tinker with this in AE and now trying to produce something similar in HF :
Starting at 4:12
NXVisualStudio Moderator, Website User, Ambassador Posts: 674 Ambassador
@GrayMotion Tell you what mate, you've done a pretty good job on that, just ease on the feather a tad and pull back on the blue a little.
Maybe lower the wave amplitude a little, too. But yes, that's looking pretty good.
Thanks guys.
Yea...after looking at it a couple dozen time the overall shot sucks. Water surface is sliding into the grass line "hugely".
I had the displacement on a 2d grade layer with a mask. Bad Idea. Changed it to 3D and was easier to put in place.
I was so proud of the surface of the water that I neglected everything else. :-(
Triem23 Moderator Moderator, Website User, Ambassador, Imerge Beta Tester, HitFilm Beta Tester Posts: 17,964 Ambassador
First pass, man. Then you refine, improve and get better.
Actually I think it looks quite good. Fixing the slide os important. Breakwater, not so much. It's a serene enough water movement and a long enough camera distance I don't think spray would really be visible.
Aw, boy, I kinda want to take everything below the water and turn it into a camera projector rig.
+1 on the first pass. Got remember to not poke myself in the eye so much!
On ward and upward
OT....future inspiration
Having a bit more fun with the particle simulator.
@GrayMotion Very nice!
Almost want to add a little turbulence so the spiral arms look a little less "perfect", but you've nabbed the look for sure. Good going!
@GrayMotion Very nice!!
Triem23 Moderator Moderator, Website User, Ambassador, Imerge Beta Tester, HitFilm Beta Tester Posts: 17,964 Ambassador
Nice. The Particle sim does do good spiral galaxies. Great grading!
@Stargazer54 has a good idea with the turbulence. You can add some turbulence while the stars are spawning, then keyframe the "Time Scale" property to "0" to "freeze" the sim once it's spawned.
Another option is to keyframe the size of your emitters (I'm assuming you're using spherical or cubical emitters) during spawning to change up the shape a bit. I'll often have the particle per second count and the size of the emitter higher when closer to the galactic core, the shrink the emitter and reduce particles per second while moving out the arms. Gives a thicker, denser galactic disc near the core and a thinner, sparser spread at the rim.

Blending transitions is tough without using bright white...
I trying to get a descent transition out of Hyperspace but not even close to convincing. I masked the Earth and animated it's size overtime to coincide with the exit jump. Kinda jumps from a circle in the middle rather than on a flat warped(blurred) plane above the horizon. Any suggestions?
Last few days a user brought up Tony Cee's Hitfilm Celestial pack so I went and watch some of Tony's stuff again. I can say this for sure...I somehow never saw his Event Horizon video he did in 2015.
Anyhow, while experimenting I stumbled (again) upon a pretty simple effect. You can get some pretty cool looks using a sphere, or as I tried b4 , a Torris. Same concept though.
@GrayMotion That's pretty neat!
Never saw this asked before so here goes.
Is HF capable of creating motion "video walls" without creating 16 comps and 16 points to control each comp? Particle sim or atomic particles maybe??
Something like this:
If you ever hear me complain about render times please refer me back to this:
GPU render - 300 frames @ 6.5 minutes a frame. 1950 minutes, 32.5 hrs. Wow!
Andy001z Moderator, Website User, Ambassador, Imerge Beta Tester, HitFilm Beta Tester Posts: 2,837 Ambassador
That is BONKERS!!!
Triem23 Moderator Moderator, Website User, Ambassador, Imerge Beta Tester, HitFilm Beta Tester Posts: 17,964 Ambassador
Nice Blender Render!
Um, the video wall question--must have missed that first time around.
Other than Split Screen Masking I can't think of an "Inbuilt" filter to aid in video walls. Split Screen masking is limited to 9 regions, so you still need two comp shots to make a 16 region wall. I've not played around with that effect much, so I can't really talk you through the entire setup, but, if you can live with a 3x3 grid, HFP 2017 has a built-in preset for that. Select it, then just assign your source layers.
For a 4x4 you'll probably have to set that up yourself. I'd create a Comp that's full-width/half-height (ex. 1920x540) and set up a 4x2 grid with the Split Screen Masking effect, save that as a preset, then assign my first 8 sources, duplicate the comp, swap out the media for the second 8 sources, then pull both these comps as embedded comps into the main animation and reposition them vertically to fill the screen.
Still a bit of a pain, but probably easier that dealing with a separate composite shot for each clip.
EDIT Oh, yes, and Split Screen Masking works great if set up on a grade layer.
@GrayMotion This may not be what you are looking for in a video wall, but I just stumbled across a ton of green screen effects at Youtube and saw this and remembered your post.
StormyKnight Moderator, Website User, Ambassador, Imerge Beta Tester, HitFilm Beta Tester Posts: 2,731 Ambassador
@GrayMotion - Love the weird space. Is that the inside of a sphere (or torus)?
Did you get your problem resolved with the exit from hyperspace vid?
Your galaxies are superb!
@StormyKnight - Weird space...a sphere with a spacey texture. Camera inside the sphere. I added a light, which you can see it looks like a shooting star, which was an unexpected results. The light appears to shine through the model.
The hyper vid. Haven't fixed yet but I see where someone mentioned using the warp effect on the layer. Just haven't tried yet.
@Treim23 - I'll take your direction and run with it. Mucho gracious!
I'm having a heck of a time understanding how to composite multiple layers that occlude each other.
The image below consists of unrolled 3D layers. 8 Fire and 8 smoke particular sims and 2 model layers. The smoke seems to do what I want but the fire is lame, dull and unrealistic
If I turn the fire particle sims into a comp and use set matte on a fire in a 2D environment the fire is completly blocked (disappears) by the nacelle structure leg and the bottom main hull as it goes by the camera. As well the fire doesn't protrude from the top of the hull damage but rather from the edges. (Which is expected with set matte but not wanted).
As you can see the sun occludes nicely but the rest....boooo.
The final comp is all 2D layers.
What am I missing here?
Hope I'm making sense
Edit: This is what it looks like in unified space.
Just a follow up to my own question.
Looks like what I'm reaching for is Depth Matte and Depth Mask neither of which are in Pro 4. A luma inverted matte I guess would be proper terminology.

Eye to eye: Democrats and Republicans refuse to back down
Issued on: Modified:
With just a week to go, Democrats and Republicans still can't find a compromise. If the Treasury can't raise extra cash by Tuesday August 2nd, the US will default on its loans. US President Barack Obama wants to solve the problem by raising Washington's debt ceiling, i.e. how much money the country is allowed to borrow. But Republicans strongly disapprove of the plan - and time is running out.

You don't know Jack ... Daniel'sJune 3, 2014: 1:15 PM ET
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Paul R. La Monica. Other than Time Warner, the parent of CNNMoney, Abbott Laboratories and AbbVie, La Monica does not own positions in any individual stocks.
If you're looking for a hot stock ... go no further than your local bar or liquor store.
Shares of Brown-Forman, the maker of Jack Daniel's, are up nearly 25% so far in 2014. That puts the stock among the top 10% of S&P 500 companies this year.
Why all the fuss for the pride of Lynchburg, Tennessee? Brown-Forman (BF-A) (BF-B) will report its latest earnings Wednesday morning.
The results should pack more of a punch than an 80 proof bottle of Jack. Analysts predict that sales increased nearly 7% in the quarter and that earnings per share rose nearly 30%.
But the fundamentals aren't the only thing that has Wall Street excited.
While the iconic whiskey has long been the muse of many a country and rock musician in the United States, a takeover of one of Brown-Forman's biggest rivals earlier this year has investors wondering if a competitor from Europe or Asia might make a run at Brown-Forman.
Related: What would you pay for a drone bartender?
Beam, the owner of bourbon brands Jim Beam, Maker's Mark and the so-good and strong it should be illegal Booker's, was bought by Japanese conglomerate Suntory. That deal, announced in January, closed in April.
The Beam purchase led to immediate speculation that Brown-Forman could be next ... as well as a slew of "Lost in Translation" jokes. (Kudos to Tumblr user Kateoplis for awesome Bill Murray GIF below.)
But will Brown-Forman really sell? It is by no means a tiny company. It has a market value of $20 billion. But it is smaller than Suntory as well as industry leader and Johnnie Walker parent Diageo (DEO), which is worth $80 billion. It's also a tiny bit smaller than France's Pernod Ricard, which owns the Jameson brand of Irish whiskey.
Privately held Bacardi could also be a potential acquirer. It already owns the Dewar's brand of Scotch whisky.
And there's more to the company than its most famous product. Brown-Forman also owns Southern Comfort, the Chambord brand of liqueur, Finlandia vodka and Woodford Reserve (one of my favorite bourbons).
So Brown-Forman could be a logical fit for a larger beverages firm -- particularly since it seems that consumers around the world can't get enough of trendy brown liquor.
That said, it's hard to imagine Brown-Forman agreeing to a deal unless the price tag is significantly higher. That's because this is a family-controlled company.
There are two classes of shares. The A shares are mostly owned by descendants of George Garvin Brown, who founded the company in 1870. In fact, there are currently three fifth-generation members of the Brown family on the company's board.
Related: Constellation Brands CEO says craft beer may not be good bet
That said, owning the stock could still be lucrative for investors -- especially if you're a whiskey connoisseur who wants to follow the Peter Lynch school of buying what you know. Brown-Forman pays a dividend that yields a decent 1.6%. That's not bad at a time when long-term Treasury yields are so low.
And while family-controlled companies may want to do everything they can to protect their birthright, that could play into your advantage.
Think of the big premiums that have been paid for family-run firms in the past few years, most notably the purchase of Dow Jones by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (NWSA) and the takeover of Anheuser-Busch by InBev (BUD).
The one big risk for investors is that the takeover speculation may already be distilled into the price. The only major hard liquor company with a higher price-to-earnings ratio than Brown-Forman is Suntory. Still, Brown-Forman's expected earnings growth is among the top in the industry as well.
But for the stock to keep climbing, Brown-Forman will have to remain one of the industry's faster growers.
With that in mind, keep a close eye on the company's outlook when it reports its results Wednesday morning. The numbers are for Brown-Forman's fiscal fourth quarter. So the company is likely to provide a glimpse as to what it expects for the fiscal year that ends in April 2015.
Analysts are estimating that profits will hit $3.29 a share and that sales will come in at $4.2 billion. Whether or not investors will order up another shot of the stock ... or toss their glasses in frustration ... will probably depend on how the company's outlook compares to what Wall Street is expecting.
Anyway, I mentioned earlier that there are many songs that reference Jack Daniel's. What's your favorite? Mine is "I Drink Alone" by George Thorogood and The Destroyers. (Bonus points to George for also plugging his friend Jim Beam.) But if yours is Tik Tok by Ke$ha, then I am not sure we can be (drinking) friends.
Now go enjoy Delaware's finest!

This peer-review paper presents a new mathematical approach to the diffusion of energy efficient technologies using the diffusion of natural processes as an analogy. This approach is applied to the diffusion of the electric arc furnace in Japan. The main advantage offered by the new approach, is the incorporation of an average effect of barriers to, and support measures for, innovation.

So much conspiracy and disinformation surrounds the military's past work on LSD and other chemical agents that it's been difficult to separate fact from fiction. That's starting to change, however.
Advocates of using chemical agents in nonlethal warfare are increasing, making now a good time to start reviewing the historical record. A recently published book on the Army's infamous "Edgewood Experiments" involving hallucinogenic agents like LSD may help shed more light on the debate. The infamous CIA work, MK ULTRA, is often considered synonymous with all government LSD experimentation. But the historical record is far more complex.
This may be the first and last time in my life that I call a self-published book a "must read," but psychiatrist James Ketchum's Chemical Warfare: Secrets Almost Forgotten* *is an usual case. As Steve Aftergood of *Secrecy News *has already pointed out, this book "is a candid, not entirely flattering, sometimes morbidly amusing account of a little-documented aspect of Army research."
Ketchum's book is also discussed in an article published today in USA Today, which provides a brief description of the work Ketchum was involved in:
Army doctors gave soldier volunteers synthetic marijuana, LSD and two dozen other psychoactive drugs during experiments aimed at developing chemical weapons that could incapacitate enemy soldiers, a psychiatrist who performed the research says in a new memoir.
The program, which ran at the Army's Edgewood, Md., arsenal from 1955 until about 1972, concluded that counterculture staples such as acid and pot were either too unpredictable or too mellow to be useful as weapons, psychiatrist James Ketchum said in an interview.
The program did yield one hallucinogenic weapon: softball-size artillery rounds that were filled with powdered quinuclidinyl benzilate or BZ, a deliriant of the belladonnoid family that had placed some research subjects in a sleeplike state and left them impaired for days.
*Ketchum says the BZ bombs were stockpiled at an Army arsenal in Arkansas but never deployed. They were later destroyed. *
The Army acknowledged the program's existence in 1975. Follow-up studies by the Army in 1978 and the National Academy of Sciences in 1981 found that volunteers suffered no long-term effects.
When Ketchum first sent me his book two months ago, I didn't know quite what to make of the self-published tome. I had recently published an article on "mind control," another subject that too easily conflates fact and fantasy. But after reading some of the literature, I've come to understand this book's importance a bit better and am all the more grateful Ketchum sent it.
BZ remains a controversial subject. DANGER ROOM contributor David Hambling has written about allegations that Iraqi insurgents used BZ to make themselves more aggressive (note Ketchum's response to this is the comments section). The predominant interest in BZ at Edgewood was as a calmative agent, however, and one of the purposes of Ketchum's book is to make the case for renewed work into such chemical agents.
Ketchum has a point of view that won't be popular among a lot of people, but that's why his book is all the more difficult to put down – I found myself constantly amazed, disgusted and fascinated. It's a little like the guilty pleasure of reading someone's diary.
Some of the "oh my God" moments are perhaps unintended, like when Ketchum opens a chapter at his kitchen table, "eating Puffed Wheat" and reading notes about a test subject's descent into paranoia during LSD tests. Or, in another case, when he describes watching volunteers "carry on conversations with various invisible people for as long as 2-3 days." There are test subjects who "salute latrines" and attempt to "revive a gas mask" that they mistake for a woman.
Yikes, you can't make this stuff up.
Then there are the moments that military craziness surprises even Ketchum, like when a general envisions a scheme to incapacitate an entire trawler with aerosolized BZ. Ketchum thinks the notion strange, but "welcomed yet another bizarre challenge..." The work is, appropriately enough, dubbed Project DORK. Ketchum revels in this work, particularly when given the chance to make a feature film about the experiment.
What a first person narrative may lack in self-awareness it gains in details.
One of Ketchum's contentions is that the soldiers involved in the Edgewood work were not "guinea pigs," but rather patriots (enticed by a few benefits). Some, no doubt, will disagree with this point of view, and at times, Ketchum seems to undermine the premise of informed consent, like when he marvels at the uneducated volunteers:
I was fascinated by the ability of unsophisticated subjects, none having more than high school diplomas, to describe their thoughts and emotions, as well what some might refer to as "ineffable" perceptual alteration. They communicated ungrammatically but with unvarnished simplicity.
In another era, a writer might have used the phrase noble savages.
This is not a book that deeply explores the ethical dimensions of chemical warfare and experimentation. For that, you may want to read read Jonathan Moreno's excellent Mind Wars. But those who just want the gritty details of past research, it's worth checking out Ketchum's memoir, which also contains a wealth of references and data specific to the military's work.
Regardless of personal views, I'm thrilled that Ketchum took the time to put it all down on paper, providing a valuable reference to inform the chemical warfare debate and a resource for future writers on the subject. I know of no book quite like his.
Too much work on human experimentation has been shrouded in secrecy – or lost and destroyed – rendering a meaningful debate all but impossible.
Ketchum has helped build the historical record.

Current record: 63-48, 2nd place in NL Central, 2.5 games back
Up Next: San Diego Padres, 49-64, 4th place in NL West, 12.5 games back
Season Series: First time playing
Notes: The Padres are the last team on the Bucs' schedule that they have not previously faced this season. Carlos Quentin and Chase Headley lead the offense with OPS's of .912 and .814. Hot hitting rookie catcher is Yasmani Grandal is injured and will miss the series. The Padres chose not to sell at the trade deadline and signed Quentin and closer Huston Street to contract extensions. One thing this Padres team does very well is steal bases. They have been successful on 99/132 attempts (80%).

I've seen a lot of engine fires in my day, and I've seen plenty of burnout-related engine fires. I've just never seen a burnout-spawned rotary engine explosion before.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, as Aussies always do it big when it comes to burnouts. Also, shout out to all the rotary heads out there - that's a damn fine engine fire.
