I got a phone call from NASA a couple of months ago, and they asked me to fly to Washington and give a lecture to their engineers on what the future of the space program was going to be like.Īnd I kind of asked them, you know, don't you have somebody on staff that knows this stuff a little bit better than I do? And they said no. And that would enable NASA to go beyond low-Earth orbit for the first time since 1972, which was the last of the manned moon missions of Apollo.īut maybe the most problematic one for NASA is going to be seed money to commercial companies to come up with commercially built capsules to go to the International Space Station. We can go into that if you like.īut in addition to that, they're also talking about a new heavy-lift launch rocket, which is pretty big news for Alabama because it would be built at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. They're thinking of keeping it around at least until the end of this current fiscal year, which is kind of ironic because they've got the spare parts for two official missions and then one more that's being referred to in some quarters as the suicide mission. Number one, the space shuttle obviously is going to go away but not as fast as what NASA was talking about. DUGGINS: Well, when Congress sat down and came up with what was known as the authorization bill for NASA - it's kind of like, you know, the instructions, this agency will do this, this and this, had a whole number of things in mind. So as NASA begins the move into this brand new world that President Obama has in mind, there will be casualties, and some of these folks unfortunately are included.įLATOW: And please describe for us exactly what that new world is, what NASA announced its new mission is. They build the solid rocket boosters for the shuttle. Another 250 are expected at the Marshall Space Flight Center here in Alabama, another 400 at ATK Thiokol. Just a few moments ago, we had 1,200 layoffs at the Kennedy Space Center. DUGGINS: Well, unfortunately, the unpleasant stuff started just a few minutes ago, I'm afraid, Ira. Before we get to Mars, let's talk about the news that's happening in - a little closer to where you are than I am, and what's going on with NASA and budget cuts and their new direction. How are you?įLATOW: Thanks for joining us. ![]() PAT DUGGINS (Author, "Trailblazing Mars"): Thank you very much, Ira. He's the news director of Alabama Public Radio, the author of "Trailblazing Mars: NASA's Next Giant Leap." Welcome back, Pat. And here to tell us more about the challenges NASA will face in sending people to Mars is Pat Duggins. It sits there in the stars waiting, waiting with the patience of eons, forever waiting in the twilight zone.įLATOW: A safer place than waiting in the twilight zone for contemplating a visit to Mars is right in your living room, reading a new book. ROD SERLING (Writer, Producer): Up there, up there in the vastness of space, in a void that is sky, up there is an enemy known as isolation. (Soundbite of TV show, "The Twilight Zone") ![]() The psychological challenges may be as great as the technological ones, and writers like Rod Serling have thought about the stress of space travel and actually include it in programs. NASA's orders are to get astronauts to an asteroid by 2025, Mars by the 2030s.īut how does the agency prepare for expeditions like that? And how do you prepare the astronauts for missions that could take years of lonely travel, perhaps cost them their lives? Say goodbye to the shuttle program and a return to the moon. This week, Congress approved a bill that outlines a new direction for NASA. And this week, that dream may have come just a bit closer to reality. You know, that's always been a dream of science fiction writers, film and television producer. Up next, space exploration, visiting planets like Mars.

![]() Julien has some sneaky strength in his bat. But that bat has a chance to be real, and you can never have too many bats! He's an Arraez type player defensively, with less arm strength. He's another IFer who probably can't field super well there (all the more reason to put Martin in the OF!). He's a good base runner (Twins need more of those!), but he's not fast. I don't think I've seen even a single scouting report have him at even a 50 grade (average) for speed. I know, I know he steals bases, but that doesn't make him fast. I don't consider Julien a great OF candidate. One suggests him not getting serious consideration until spring training 2024 after all of 2023 at AAA. That's a reason to start him in AAA for sure, but not a reason to have him down there all year which is how some of the previous comments read. He's buried and hasn't played a game at AAA. Larnach, Kirilloff, Celestino and Gordon ahead of him in LF. Polanco, Arraez and Gordon are ahead of him at 2B. We can’t afford Sano and Kepler type plateauings.īecause he's not at the top of the depth chart at 2B or LF. The key is to get these young players the coaching, training, and innings to keep (and continuously) developing their potential. Add Correa and get 100 games out of Buxton in CF and this looks like a strong lineup with enough cash to build a pitching staff to maintain a true open window for at least a couple of years. This group has a strong mix of pop, speed, OBP, and interchangeability/positional flexibility (for example, Gordon and Martin could be highly productive “super utilities”). Hopefully Kiriloff, Larnach and Wallner are part of the gang too. This should be our next, new young “core” (replacing Sano, Kepler and Polanco) arriving at different times but all together as a unit probably in ‘24. You could throw in Jeffers as well behind the dish. The Twins have seven solid young infielder prospects/major leaguers: Arraez, Miranda, Gordon, Lewis, Lee, Julien, and Martin. You could add Martin to that list but I think he will end up in the outfield.Īgree. Long term, with Lewis (hopefully he makes a complete recovery), Lee, and Julien, the infield looks like a real strength. If Martin continues to crush the ball as he is in the AFL, the Twins will have some tough decisions next year, either in the spring or midseason. He had another great game in the AFL yesterday, with two doubles and a walk and now is hitting. How do you view Julien at this point in his professional career? Can he be the Twins' second baseman of the future? Leave a COMMENT and start the discussion. He has inserted himself into the team's long-term plans and will be an exciting prospect to watch in the years ahead. If he continues on his current path, there is a chance he will make his big-league debut in 2023. The Twins have developed Julien from a late-round pick into one of the team's top-15 prospects. He likely won't be an above-average defender at any defensive position, but he can continue to improve at second base. Over 70% of his defensive innings have come at second base because his arm typically rates below average. All his defensive innings have come at second base in the AFL, and that's another area for him to improve as he gets closer to the big-league level.ĭuring his professional career, the Twins have used Julien at multiple defensive positions, including first base, second base, third base, and left field. Offensively, he has gone 7-for-23 with six runs scored, a double, and a stolen base. He drew ten walks in his first seven games compared to eight strikeouts. Julien is an on-base machine, and that trend has continued in limited AFL action. ![]() Luckily, he remedied some of those issues in 2022. He was roughly the same age as the competition at his level, so there was some concern with his lack of consistent contact and high strikeout totals. His 110 walks led all of the minor leagues, but he struck out in nearly 30% of his plate appearances. He split time between Low-A and High-A while hitting. ![]() Julien's pro debut had to wait until 2021 because of the shutdown, but he quickly made his mark on the Twins system. Minnesota took Edouard Julien with the 539th overall pick and went way over slot to sign him for $493,000. 841 OPS with 14 doubles and ten home runs in 65 games. During his final amateur season, he posted an. He was a draft-eligible sophomore because MLB ruled his secondary school year in Canada counted as a college season. Not many teams hit on an 18th-round draft pick, but the Twins may have found a sleeper in the 2019 MLB Draft.

It’s doing all the heavy lifting in the background. Octane is like, one, two, three, click look how great it is.Ĭhristopher: Exactly, right. It’s not like Octane, or Redshift, where you have very simple UI…Ĭurvin: I know. So I was the guy who sort of lead the charge, and that’s where it took off from.Ĭhristopher: I think you talked about - or we touched on it, Houdini, it’s kind of - you’ve got to put some energy into it. So I went to our department chair and said, hey, we should probably jump on the Houdini bandwagon, and he said okay. But all of a sudden, we’re like, oh my god, we should do Houdini. So I went over and I met him, and boy, I forget who it was now, that’s really unfortunate. He talked to them, and he was like, Curvin, I’ve got to introduce you to this guy. About two years ago, I went to Boston FIG, and I had this really great student who was there also, and he ended up talking - there were a couple of Side FX people there. Really, it’s just been in the past two years, I would say, that I really started to come towards visual effects. I came up to Becker about eight years ago, and that’s where I really hopped on the freight train for all of this stuff. And I actually started teaching at a community college in Pennsylvania, that’s where I got started so I was a department chair there for eight years also. Prior to that, I was at DeSales University in Pennsylvania for four years. And was there something specific that took you where you are now?Ĭurvin: So where I am now, Becker College - I’ve been at Becker for eight years. And I’ve worked with nearly every 3D application, Max, Maya, Rhino, AutoCAD, Cinema 4D, you name it.Ĭhristopher: Right. I started in modeling, then I moved to animation I’ve run the gamut really, which is great. So what that has afforded me is the ability to kind of - I’m sort of a jack of all trades. But now I’ve been teaching full time for about 20 years. So that’s sort of my training background. So I have a masters of science, and a masters of fine arts. And then I also went back and got my MFA in Illustration. And they’re like video games, except they’re real world situations. I worked with the Center For Disease Control. So we worked on some simulations for the Department of Defense, National Security Agency. I did simulation work for the government mostly when I first got out of grad school. Since I have a bachelor’s degree in sculpture, which I think is what really lead me into 3D, and then I got a masters of science in interactive technology, and then I started working in the field… actually, I come from training and simulation more so than arts and entertainment. How’d you come to visual effects, and teaching Houdini?Ĭurvin: So I sort of straddle the fence between technology and art, for sure. What I thought we’d start with is your background.

In February 2020, two tweets from a Plarium customer support agent on Raid 's Twitter feed, claiming that Raid does not sponsor but rather "cooperates" with YouTube creators, gained attention online for its violation of FTC rules requiring payments for endorsements to be disclosed to the public. The game has received substantial negative attention for its aggressive advertising campaign, most notably its sponsorships of a number of YouTube, Twitch and Vimeo content creators, leading it to become an internet meme. Droid Gamers said it brings nothing new to the gacha RPG genre. In its review, BlueStacks also praised the visuals, saying, "The animations are simply spectacular, with the quality the likes you seldom see in these games," and concluding that "players that enjoy fantasy combat with a more realistic approach-similar to The Lord of the Rings-will likely have a very good time with Raid: Shadow Legends." South African technology website htxt.africa praised the graphics, but overall found it boring with too many microtransactions. Gamezebo praised the game for trading "the typical anime-style visuals for a more realistic, dark fantasy look", going on to write about "the truly stunning experience, with some of the finest attack animations and environmental effects we’ve seen in the genre so far." However, the article also criticises the game's underlying monetization, pointing out that progress is difficult, "particularly if you don’t plan on spending any actual money on the various upgrades".

You then capitalize by either attacking or grabbing.Įssentially you want to be unpredictable by keeping your opponents guessing. You accomplish this by using Marth's movement to juke your oppenent, and then either making your opponent whiff a move, or finding a time window where they are vunerable. (This will be super long btw)įirst you have to understand that the goal of neutral is essentially to find an opening on your opponent. But, I'll tell you what I did to improve my neutral. I've struggled with this as well, and even now I would say my neutral isn't as strong as my punish game. Of course not everyone's neutral is as brain-dead as that, but for a good range of skill (probably up to high silver rank on netplay), people aren't fluent enough with their character's options to really mix up their choices in neutral which you can press to your advantage, if you can (1) identify habits and/or identify situations they cover poorly and (2) figure out how to recreate these situations in neutral as frequently as possible.Ī final note, beyond the first challenge of just standing completely still as long as possible is noncommital movement which is a rich and complex language of "triggering" neutral situations compared to just standing still and can be explored through practice, theorycrafted, studied in videos, etc once you have a solid foundation of neutral. This is an absolutely core essential skill in melee, the one you should try to practice as much as possible, and IMO the only important skill in melee where natural talent plays a major factor, it's also imo one of the most fun aspects of melee (and makes melee compare favorably against other fighting games, since there's so much more freedom and expressivity in melee)įor instance, if by standing still an enemy spacie always just shnairs in, then that's easy for you to cover, and it becomes easy for you to "play" them - just constantly create situations in neutral that will "trigger" their shnair approach, cover it, and you win. This boils down to seeing how quickly you can build an intuition of how they'll move and what they'll do next. In this minigame, you'll want to keep mental note of what options they're using. ![]() See if you can bait them into attacking into your wavedash back, or if you can avoid committing first while being close enough to punish their commitment.
