![]() ![]() Those interested need to get three tickets to participate, obtained either by taking part in a series of qualifiers or by using in-game currency, and once they get in, the organizers will challenge them to show how well they master the various types of vehicles and the events associated with them. “Wild Run also introduces a massive event called The Summit, designed to showcase everything the racing title has to offer to its fans and to encourage buyers to compete constantly over the course of a few months. Riding high above the ground on the huge wheels of a monster truck feels very cool and empowering, and the new events mean that players have more variety and can sink hours into the racing experience by switching between them to keep things fresh. Wild Run also adds specialized options for drifting, drag races and monster truck events, each of them with its rules and some pretty spectacular moments. Motorbikes offer a sense of freedom and it's a beauty to handle them on the varied roads that Ivory Tower has created, even the fact that they never crash in a spectacular manner can sometimes feel weird. Motorcycles are now offered by shops and players can take them for a test ride before picking up their favorite to enjoy a driving model that gives players more freedom to weave through traffic and to express themselves than the classic cars. The Crew - Wild Run is designed to expand the appeal of the racing game to new segments of players, giving them more options when it comes to the vehicles they drive and to how they interact with the expansion world that the development team has created. Wild Run has the potential to create very interesting stories for each event that a player takes part in, and it's great to play with friends who can get together after an intense racing session to talk about their experience and share stories of unexpected victory and defeat. It's interesting to move around the game world to take on increasingly capable opponents and constantly improve your car, but the entire story feels like an afterthought, an element of the game that the developers had to include but never found a way to make unique. The story is not too bad, but there's nothing unique or innovative in the design of the missions associated with it and the lines that the various characters use fail to have any emotional impact. The expansion allows players to take part in secret underground events to infiltrate a very powerful gang that appeared in Detroit and now has operations all across the United States. The Crew - Wild Run is an interesting mix of open-world and story driven experiences, with gamers initially expected to deal with some narration-driven missions before finding a crew to run their events and races. Wild Run for The Crew is offered on the Xbox One from Microsoft, the PlayStation 4 and the PC. If the various types of bikes are taken out of the equation, the expansion seems a little bare, although for those who love the racing experience and have kept up with it since it initially arrived in early December of last year, there's plenty of new content to explore. ![]() The developers should have put a motorbike in the hands of gamers who get Wild Run for The Crew as soon as they start the experience, forcing them to ride on the roads for at least half an hour to see how addictive the nimbleness and sense of speed that they offer is. There's some text, easily ignored, that talks about the features gamers now have access to, and a store where the new vehicles can be seen pop up on the map, but there's no big pressure to simply go and pick up one in order to see how it handles and how much fun it can deliver. ![]() The Crew - Wild Run feels a little pointless at first because it fails to put the biggest part of the new content, the motorcycles, front and center when a player launches the recently launched expansion for the racing title from developer Ivory Tower and publisher Ubisoft.

Shabazz is married to Carolyn Kelley Shabazz, a prominent civic leader in Newark, who said her husband did not have any association with the killing Edward Waller, who is representing Al-Mustafa Shabazz, disputed the claim on Sunday, saying, “I’ve spoken to him (Shabazz) and he categorically denies he was involved in the assassination of Malcolm X.” In his book, Marable also credits Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, a historian who writes for the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, with linking Bradley’s name to that of Shabazz.Īttorney J. William Bradley was accused of being one of the killers more than 30 years ago in a sworn affidavit by Talmadge Hayer, one of the three men convicted of Malcolm X’s assassination. Andrew Di Elmo also confirmed that the mug shot accompanying the record belonged to Bradley, aka Shabazz. New Jersey Department of Corrections records list Bradley’s alias as Al-Mustafa Shabazz, and East Orange Police Sgt. Marable writes that he confirmed that the two men are one and the same through multiple sources inside the black Muslim community. Marable, who died unexpectedly Friday (April 2) after a long illness, claimed to have evidence that Shabazz was once known as William Bradley, whom many people over the years have placed at the shooting in New York City. A new book, “Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention,” by Columbia University historian Manning Marable, argues that Shabazz was behind Malcolm X’s 1965 assassination. ![]() ![]() (RNS) For 46 years, the chief assassin of slain civil rights icon Malcolm X has been hiding in plain sight in Newark, according to a major new biography of the African-American leader released Monday (April 4).Īl-Mustafa Shabazz is a 72-year-old Muslim who is married to a community leader who owns a boxing gym in Newark. ![]() ![]() Reading Practice, Literacy Skills, Vocabulary PracticeĪward Winners-SLJ Best Book Award Winners-NCTE Notable Children's Books in the Language Arts Award Winners-ALA Best Book for Young Adults Award Winners-ALA Notable/Best Books Fantasy/Imagination-Misc./Other Folklore/Fables/Myths-Folklore/Fables/Myths (All) Recommended Reading-YALSA Popular Paperbacks Recommended Reading-Wheatley Texts Recommended Reading-Al's Book Club (Al Roker) Recommended Reading-NY Publ.

![]() It's like graffiti over a vital road sign, but really boring graffiti about aqueducts and olive groves. Even placing a structure can be utmost misery, abysmally-designed build menus spilling across almost half the screen, and sometimes requiring millimetre increment-shifting of the camera to try and find a suitable spot not obscured by swathes of nasty giant text. The trouble is keeping a handle on all ever-growing depth, and that's where the archaic interface violently strips Caesar IV of any claims to greatness it might otherwise have legitimately made. It's hugely satisfying to watch your new city start to emerge, to see the flow of people to resource to money to people and round and round and round working properly. But depth is why we're here, right? In theory, such micromanagement is pleasing, and certainly this is true of the early stages of a given scenario. Almost any given building is dependent on at least three other buildings before it's even vaguely effective, and in turn each of those buildings' employees/residents rely on a baker's dozen of balms for mind, body and soul to keep them happy. You can't see the plague, poverty and sexual deviancy from all the way up here.Īll pretty reasonable, but complicated stuff - there's a hell of a lot to manage simultaneously. No matter how many caged lions you desperately gift to Caesar in tribute (his use for the poor, angry beasts isn't specified, and is perhaps best left a mystery), if your new arm of the Empire is consistently losing money, he'll send the lads around to sort you out. If a nightmarishly illogical road layout or a Malaria-induced worker shortage is delaying the passage between produce and cash, the economy will grow more slowly, your citizens will whine and up sticks, and you'll lose favour with Rome. There's certainly a decent sense of life to a large city, wheelcart-toting Plebs (and the occasional confused escapee from the sheep pen) haring along intricate road systems to collect, process, sell and export multifarious goods like so many poorly-washed ants. Cities bustle, water shimmers, light diffuses - good work, job done. Folk with a silly-money graphics card may gently lament that Caesar won't quite squeeze every last drop of pixel juice from their system, but it's plenty pretty. Everything necessary - that is, everything from Caesar III and then some - lurks within, but it's not always presented in suitably 2006, rather than 1998, fashion. A sign that though an awful lot of work has gone into making the mechanics of Caesar IV as exact as possible, perhaps less consideration has gone into what it feels like to be a player of this city management sequel, released eight years on from its last, and hugely popular, iteration.

Justice Department (DOJ) had embarked on an intrusive investigation into claims of unfair business practices as alleged by Microsoft’s competitors. Its launch, scheduled for August 1995, would prove to be the largest, most expensive consumer marketing endeavor in history. Early in 1995, Microsoft was particularly occupied with finalizing Windows 95. Netscape’s meteoric rise could not escape the attention of the world’s dominant software company. ![]() What’s more: the company’s spectacular IPO was drawing near and was to start the dot-com boom. Netscape was on its way to an extraordinary 90% market share amongst internet browsers. Users did not need to stare at a blank screen until their dial-up connections loaded text and graphics.Įven more astounding was the fact that the upstart Netscape Communications, Netscape Navigator’s creator, had been co-founded by a 23-year-old programmer just a few months previously and seemed well-positioned to take advantage of the imminent consumer internet revolution. In addition, Netscape could render web pages on the fly while they were still being downloaded. Early web buffs eager to discover the marvel of the nascent internet were no longer restricted to downloading text alone. Unlike primitive browsers, Netscape could display text and graphics on websites. “The Browser Wars”: Rise and Fall of NetscapeĪt the start of 1995, a new software called Netscape Navigator took the computing world by storm. Up until the dot-com bust, Microsoft not only out-competed Borland, Lotus Development, Corel, and other rivals that were previously in the lead, but also crushed upstarts such as Netscape. History provides but a few vivid portraits of intense competition that compare to the mid-90s’ “ browser wars,” a narrative characterized by the dogged determination and intense competitive spirit of some of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs.īill Gates and Microsoft are legendary for using brute power: whenever a new competitor emerged, Microsoft would muster its financial resources and its smarts to storm into those markets with alternative products that would eventually dominate. Besides, collaborative or naturally uncompetitive individuals tend to find competitive people somewhat unpleasant. Of course, competition is healthy but, winning may come at a hefty price-always striving to win or being overzealous can be both unnecessary and unproductive. The archetypical successful person is determined, aggressive, and obsessed with winning at everything, sometimes at any cost. We live in a hypercompetitive age where winning is the outcome, often necessary for survival-in classrooms, sports, trade and commerce or at work. The innovations here might make this more than a backup browser.Competition Drives so much of our World Today IE mode, integrated AOL IM, RSS reader, form filler, and security suite are gone, but the compatibility with Firefox 2 extensions and LinkPad more than make up for the loss.

But she said leadership should listen to the concerns raised by the opponents. Karen Falkner, a set painter and a trustee of Local 729, said she voted for the contract. They run it like a real business, not like a circus where they’re trying to pound it out as fast as they can.” “It’s going to be members saying, ‘No, I am going to stop and get lunch at six hours.’… There’s productions that do 10-hour days and they’re done. ![]() “We’re going to do an immediate, dramatic change across the film industry,” he said. Cory Boldroff, another member of Local 80, said that members are already primed to advocate for more humane schedules. ![]() In a tight labor market, some productions could find themselves having to compete for workers. It’s hard sometimes and you don’t want to be the shit stirrer, but you have to be now.” “You have to advocate for yourself and the people you work with. Some say the next step should be a culture change that goes production by production. It also raises wages for the lowest paid workers in the union, including writers assistants and script coordinators.īut opponents argued that it did not do anything to shorten workdays that can run 14 hours or longer, which was their main issue. The deal provides a 54-hour weekend rest period as well as increased penalties for going longer than eight hours without a lunch break. The contract includes some gains for workers - and no givebacks - making its near defeat all the more striking. “It’s like being patted on the head and told, ‘Don’t worry about it.'” “It’s frustrating how it’s like pulling teeth to get information,” said Brandy Tannahill, a grip in Local 80 who helped organize opposition to the contract. That has bred some mistrust of the outcome. Instead, the local unions have provided their own totals - in an inconsistent fashion - just to their own members. The international union has not released a breakdown of the delegate vote, even to its own members. In the “popular vote,” the ASA membership supported the contract 52% to 48%, but the Basic Agreement members voted against it by a tally of 50.4% to 49.6%. The Area Standards Agreement was ratified thanks to a four-vote margin in New Mexico, while the Basic Agreement was approved with just 270 votes to spare at the MPEG. The Basic Agreement was ratified by a vote of delegates from 13 local unions based in Los Angeles, while the companion Area Standards Agreement was ratified by delegates from another 23 locals around the country. Some are also pushing for an audit of the vote or a change in the delegate voting procedure, which allowed the Basic Agreement to be ratified even though most members voted no. Loeb and Davis did not respond to requests for interviews. It’s inevitable that new leadership is going to happen.” “There was already discontent in Local 80 before this contract. “I think that’s where this has to go,” said Colin Angle, a member of the local. There is already talk within the local of trying to unseat Thom Davis, an ally of Loeb’s who has served as business representative since 1998. IATSE Local 80, which represents grips, voted against ratification by a 2-to-1 margin. So some are focusing instead on elections for local officers, many of which are set for next spring. “I have never seen him at an IATSE town hall.”īut Loeb, who has served as president for 13 years, was just re-elected without opposition at the union’s convention in July. “He is out of touch with the membership,” said Amy Duddleston, editor of “Mare of Easttown” and a board member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild. Loeb is based in New York, and many in Los Angeles say he did not grasp the members’ hunger for more wholesale change in production schedules. Many have directed their anger at Matthew Loeb, IATSE’s international president.
