Q. Everyone's looking forward to your free program. What kind of impression do you want to give everyone with this program?
A. For the past several years, I always worked hard by having jumps as my main focus in competitions, for my free programs. However this year, aside from jumps, I'm adding a lot of my feelings into it, and using a lot of physical strength to express it. That's why, although there are still many parts of it that I can't do well, with the enthusiasm to create something good and show in competitions and in front of everyone, I practice with a higher motivation every day. Although it doesn't feel complete yet, I want to show it the way it is to everyone, and I hope to show that 'it'll get even better from now on'.
Q. We're looking forward to it! What's your goal this season?
A. If everyone has expectations, of course I want to get the results that are expected of me. But my goal first and foremost is to turn this free program into a shape I want to do -- one that's not just of jumps but give my 100% into expressing it, with all my might, to make it a performance which will move me emotionally.
do you happen to have sony vegas ? my college requires it for classes but its way too expensive for me
Ahoy! I have attempted to find Sony Vegas Pro 19, as it's seemingly the newest version, sadly i have only been able to find Sony Vegas Pro 17. This one took some time due to the nature of the patcher used, as they often contain riskware. So i've taken the time to run the entire install in a Virtual Machine to avoid harming my computer, and after a full install i can confirm that the file is virus-free and should work without any issues!
Here is a link to the file:
I attempted to record the screen as i was installing, so if there is any interest for it i can look into editing and posting that as a installation-guide. Though i have attempted to make the process as easy as possible. An install-guide is included in the download, but is the following steps:
Unzip the downloaded file.
Run "Setup.exe" and go through its installer.
Run "Patch.exe" and go through its installer.
Delete the "Setup.exe", "Patch.exe" and "How to Install.txt" as you won't need them anymore. Make sure to right-click on your Recycle Bin and select "Empty Recycle Bin" so the files won't bother your anti-virus programs.
Run the program and have fun!
I wish you the best of luck with your education! Please always feel free to ask for help in finding programs, books, etc if it's causing a barrier for the education you wish to take!
The Ross County Historical Society’s 2022 Fall Speakers Series will conclude Wednesday, November 16, at 7:30 p.m. with a program titled “The U.S. Army during the Early Republic, Post Revolution to the Onset of the War of 1812,” featuring speaker Ken Osen, President of the W. Britain Toy Soldiers &
Model Figures Company headquartered in Chillicothe.
The W. Britain Company is the leading maker of authentic toy soldiers and model figures in the world. Britain’s figures are known for quality, historical accuracy, and attention to detail. Achieving this well-deserved reputation requires that each figure be thoroughly and tirelessly researched before it
marches off the drawing board and into the hands of the sculptors and painters.
Please plan to attend this fascinating evening as Ken Osen, utilizes the knowledge he has gained through his extensive research to provide an overview of the U.S. Army during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He will focus on the clothing, equipment, weapons, and organization of the army from the time of the Ohio Indian Wars in the 1790s to the beginning of the War of 1812. This will be a unique opportunity meet Ken and welcome him to Chillicothe.
The program is admission-free and will take place from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Ross County Heritage Center, 45 West Fifth Street, Chillicothe. Refreshments will be served.

If I told you you could get in great shape by investing less than 10 minutes daily to exercise, you’d probably think I’m selling you a product. I’m not selling a product, but I am selling you on the idea that a small amount of daily exercise is all you need to get in shape. I want you to stop believing that getting in shape has to take over your life or require an hour or more of exercise each…
correction: israel has killed 15 palestinians in rafah in the evening of february 11. they’ve killed many more in rafah since february started. the death toll is around 400, with 76 killed today, monday feb 12. the iof destroyed khan yunis, the place where gazan refugees from the north were fleeing, and now the iof is attacking and murdering civilians in the last southern city.
do not look away from what the israeli colonizers have done to khan yunis and what they will do to rafah as long as world leaders across the globe twiddle their thumb and america continues to sink billions into this genocide.
just two days ago, the iof snipers killed a doctor in the middle of a surgery in a khan yunis hospital. there is a horrifying video of an old man, shot and crawling into the reception of said hospital, and no one is able to drag him away from the windows where snipers keep shooting at them. this is what our tax money is funding. this is what our leaders are encouraging. the entire world should be dying of shame and disgust, most especially the west, giddily supporting and paying for the nth genocide of brown indigenous people, and the greedy, soulless monsters of the uae and saudi arabia.
no, but really, we need to talk about the casual objectification that has become the fallback discourse of the internet: if you're pretty and dressed nicely, you're a slut. and if you're even vaguely outside of their body standard, you're fucking disgusting.
too-frequently, people position sex workers as being "the problem". they sneer you're addicted to pornography, you don't know what a real woman looks like. but real women are in pornography. the real bodies on display are not the issue here: the issue is that other people feel extremely confident when commenting on someone's physique.
2000's super-thin is slowly worming its way back into the public ideal. recently i saw someone get told to "go for a run", despite the fact she was on the thinner side of average. not that it would ever be appropriate to say that: but it's kind of like sticker shock when you see it. people think that is fat? holy shit. do they just have no idea about things?
but what are you going to do about it? that's the problem, right. because chances are - you're a normal person. we can say normalize carrying fat on your body, but we are not the billion-dollar diet industry. we are not the billion-dollar fashion industry. we are just, like. people. who are trying to make content on the internet, without being treated shittily.
as someone who has been on both sides of things: you are treated better when you are thin and pretty. this is statistically correct. i am not saying that you cannot be bullied for being thin; i'm saying there are objective institutional biases against certain bodytypes. there are videos of men and women who lost weight all saying: i now know for a fact exactly how much worse you're treated. in the comments, some asshole inevitably says something akin to you deserved to be dehumanized when you were fat.
which means that ... the easiest thing to do is be pretty and thin. it is the path of least resistance, because of course it is, because any time you post a picture of yourself without a thigh gap, someone immediately comments something like you need to try a diet.
the other half is also dehumanizing though, huh, just in a different way. when i put on makeup and nice clothes, i am told i slept my way to the top as a professional. do you know how many women in STEM have told me they purposefully dress to "unimpress" because they already struggle to be taken seriously and if they're ever considered pretty - it for some reason takes away from their authority.
so they make it seem like it's your fault. you, existing in a body - it's your fault! if you didn't want shitty comments, don't have a body. they position us against each other like chess pieces; vying for male attention we don't even need.
and i can be an authority on this unless you think i'm fat and unattractive. when i am pretty and thin, i'm an activist. when i am just a normal person who makes a good point: i am immediately dismissed. nobody fucking believes you if you're not seen as attractive. you literally lose value. you cease to exist.
but the whole time, it feels like - is anyone actually grounded the fuck in reality? the line of "pretty and thin" keeps shifting. nobody seems to understand what "a normal weight" even looks like, because it's not something that exists - you cannot tell a person's health by looking at their body. even if you think you could tell that, even if you're sure a person is dangerously overweight - people are not your dolls. they do not need to be dressed up or displayed properly to soothe your aesthetics. you aren't concerned for them, you're stealing their agency. you don't get to say if they're "allowed" to take pictures and post them on the internet - you don't get to tell them how to exist.
people hide behind "the obesity epidemic" without any actual qualifications. they crow things about "normalizing unhealthiness".
but it's bullshit. i have visible abs. there is a pair of parallel lines on my body, even when i'm relaxed; where my obliques meet my abdominal wall. i am proud of this because it means i'm strong, because i overcame an eating disorder only to be ripped as fuck. it is genetic and physical luck that i even get any definition, i'm pleased as punch.
but it does mean that my abdominal wall sticks out a little bit. the other day i posted a video of myself dancing, and, for a moment, my shirt slipped. you could see a little bit of my stomach. i was cartwheeling to the floor. moments before this, i'd had my foot over my head.
a guy slid into my DMs. a row of vomiting emojis prefaced: you should really lose some weight before you think about dancing.
i stared at it for a long time. there was a time when i would have been triggered by this, where it would have encouraged me to starve myself. i would have ignored the fact i'm flexible, agile, good at jumping: i would have lost the weight for a stranger's passing comment. i would have found myself and my body fucking disgusting.
and for what? to please what? because why? so that he can exist in this world without an unchallenged eyeball? what would my self-hatred even accomplish? usually i write paragraphs. obviously. on this particular occasion, in this body i've been at war with for ages: i just felt exhausted.
it shouldn't be even worth saying. it shouldn't be hard to explain. all of this emotional turmoil when he cannot even comprehend the most basic truth: i am not an object on display for him.
