As Sergeant Matt Baker, you lead a squad of soldiers around Normandy, culminating in the Battle of Bloody Gulch around Manoir de Donville, the eponymous Hill 30.īefore release, Gearbox’s President Randy Pitchford described it as “probably the best game ever worked on” in an interview with Gamespot. ![]() The game is based loosely on the real life exploits of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, who were dropped behind German lines hours before D-Day as part of Mission Albany. The series began in March 2005 with Brothers In Arms: Road To Hill 30 for PS2 and the original Xbox, which was developed by Gearbox Software and published by Ubisoft. The History of Brothers In Arms Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 Today, we’re asking the question: will we ever see a new Brothers In Arms game? While it might not have achieved the same level of success as Call of Duty, the series managed to cultivate a following that’s loyal to this day. Enter Brothers In Arms.ĭeveloped by Gearbox Software, the Brothers In Arms series took a more realistic approach to recreating WW2, often putting you in command of your own squad of infantry, forced to find ways to outhink and overcome enemy fortifications. Games themselves had covered the war with either a view to create a new blockbuster (MoH or the rise of Call of Duty), or create their own unique spin on it (Wolfenstein), but none tried to emulate the gritty realism of it all. Movie-goers had Saving Private Ryan, TV fans could watch Band of Brothers and even video game lovers could jump into a game of Medal of Honor and experience World War 2, or at least a fast-paced version of it, for themselves.

These benefits would have to be contingent upon receipt of WGA-determined credit and be made applicable to sole credit or to all credited writers if credit is shared. ![]() Even in the case of credits, however, writers may negotiate more prominent treatment of their writing credits in advertising and publicity than that afforded by the MBA. The only exception is the receipt of writing credits, which must be determined according to the MBA and Credits Manuals (MBA Article 8, Credits Schedules and the Guild Credits Manuals). In all cases, the Guild agreement is considered part of a writer's deal by operation of labor law and the terms of the MBA itself.Īs mentioned above, you can freely negotiate provisions that improve on the Guild-wide minimum terms (MBA Article 9). The MBA is more than 400 pages long, so it is usually incorporated into your individual contract by reference. These are the provisions of the Guild agreement, usually the MBA. When this occurs, company lawyers will propose a number of provisions to protect the company, and the writer's representative will propose many provisions favoring the writer.Īdditionally, hundreds of provisions that protect the writer are incorporated in the individual contract. The Individual Contract-Above and Beyond the MBAĮvery time a writer is hired, sells, licenses or options literary material, a deal memo or contract should be drafted to cover the deal. Differences pertaining to creative rights are noted elsewhere on this page. They are commonly referred to as the "AMPTP MBA" and the "Network MBA." These agreements are identical, but for a small number of provisions. Copies of the MBA are available from the Guild. Nothing in the Guild contract can be undercut by an individual contract, but anything (except a guarantee to receive a credit) can be improved. The contract serves as the basis for each individual writer's contract. This contract is the industry-wide agreement that sets the minimum terms for options and purchases of literary material from writers and for the employment of writers to write theatrical motion pictures and television programs. The collective bargaining agreement that covers most work done by Guild members is the Writers Guild of America Theatrical and Television Basic Agreement, also known as the Minimum Basic Agreement, or MBA. The contract language should be consulted where greater detail is desired or in the case of an ambiguity. All such references are to the Writers Guild Theatrical and Television Basic Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Throughout this page, the Guild contract provision that grants each right is noted in parentheses for reference. The Guild collective bargaining agreement is the foundation upon which each writer's individual contract for a specific project is built. This working rule ensures that all Guild-covered writers are protected by the provisions of a Guild agreement when they work and that the Guild will then be able to enforce their rights, if violated. Writers Guild members are bound by Working Rule 8, which requires members to work for and sell or option literary material only to companies that have signed a collective bargaining agreement with the Guild. In that collaborative spirit, these creative rights are published it is in that spirit that these creative rights can be fully realized.Ī writer's rights are created and protected by the contract that governs his or her work. When a finished theatrical motion picture or television program realizes its creative intent, that success is the fruit of collaboration. The best experiences come from projects where all participants-writers, directors, actors, producers, executives and others-respect and welcome the participation of the others. Also given are examples of "overscale" creative rights provisions, which the writer and his or her agent should consider negotiating in the writer's individual contract.Īlthough the rights described here are contractual rights, enforceable by arbitration in most cases, legally enforced creative rights on their own are unlikely to yield the richest and most rewarding creative experiences. This summary can serve as a practical guide to a writer's creative rights established through collective bargaining between the WGA and production companies. This summary describes the creative provisions of the agreement in some detail, but the actual Guild contract governs in the case of a dispute. The information which follows represents a plain-English outline of the creative rights preserved for writers of film and television in the Writers Guild of America Theatrical and Television Basic Agreement. ![]() Securing creative rights for writers was a fundamental goal of the Screen Writers Guild at its founding in 1933 and continues as a prime element of the Writers Guild agenda.

(But hey, there’s always All Stars 9.)īefore then, Drag Race Holland is currently airing its second season, and another season of UK is starting later this month, which I will be recapping. It’s a feel-good ending and feel-good season, where almost every queen featured had a moment. Of course, if anything, the forward roll is a synecdoche for All Stars. You get knocked down, you get back up, redeem yourself and salute the flag, God damn it! And she’s crowned after lip-syncing to a Gaga song, after being eliminated in S2 for her Gaga impersonation! It’s all too much.Ĭonsidering Ginger’s walking away with $55,000, Ra’Jah $20,000 and Eureka has completely redeemed herself in the public eye, everyone feels like a winner. She looks crest-fallen when it happens, and the other queens watching barely react to the moment, as if to be sensitive to her. ![]() It’s clear too from the ‘live reaction’ video that Kylie was really defeated by the moment and had pretty much discounted herself from the crown. Kylie is also the best dressed for a Gaga track. Recovering via roly poly is instantly iconic: I screamed. Of the four, Kylie looks the most crownable, and not even tripping over her own ruffles can stop her. The queens change for the lip-sync to Gaga’s ‘Stupid Love’: it’s nice that none of them really go for huge reveals. (As an aside, ‘Certain Woman’ would be a great drag name, as would ‘Old Joy’.) Kylie’s speech about hiding her southernness was sweet too, and I simply must give a shout out to whichever editor added in some folk-country strumming underneath ripped straight from a Kelly Reichardt film. Eureka has come such a long way since S9/10: I’ve loved every second of her this season. She dug deep to explain how fatphobia harms her and others, an idea the show definitely touches upon but doesn’t necessarily dive deep into as more than a ‘stage’ in someone’s life they’ve now ‘overcome’. Maybe lockdown’s just got me good, but I was really moved by all of their speeches - especially Eureka’s about how being fat makes people view her as sub-human. After the runway comes the final vulnerability test, the ‘why I deserve to win’ speech. ![]() Shop owner who sold winning Powerball ticket is now a millionaire himself CA Lottery officials presented a CA Lottery's retailer selling bonus check for "One Million US Dollars," for selling the lottery ticket that won a record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot. ![]() They have 60 days after their claim is validated to choose which payout they want.īusiness owner Joe Chahayed smiles as he holds a check with his sons, Joe Chahayed, Jr., left, and Daniel Chahayed, right, outside his Joe's Service Center in Altadena, northeast of Los Angeles Tuesday, Nov.

Robert Fresco certainly did focus much more on his son, finding Fraser's autistic behaviour absolutely absorbing to film. Based on true-life events that shocked Britain in the 1950s, 'Intimate Relations' is a black comedy that runs out of steam before reaching its inevitable, but still shocking conclusion. From Meltdowns to Stimming: Autistic Behaviour Explained.How To Make Friends With Someone Who Has Autism.The Cliff: This Is What Happens When Young Adults With Autism Turn Twenty-One.He found Fraser much more fascinating." Hallee's struggle to make peace with her childhood runs through the documentary, alongside her father's growing understanding of the wounds he caused. Hallee: "Dad didn't pay much attention to me because I was the normal one. As the 'normal' twin, she is often side-lined, especially by her father. In Love, Hope & Autism the shift towards Fraser, the 'special' child, is especially dramatic and ultimately heart-wrenching for his twin sister Hallee. The film exposes the powerful effects of ASD on a family, from the strain on the marriage to the inevitable shift in family dynamics. INTIMATE RELATIONS 1996 Fox Searchlight Pictures film with Julie Walters Stock Photo. It͛'s a very personal portrait - revealing family breakdown and quirky reformation, violent outbursts on Fraser's part, near-death experiences, Hallee's break with her dysfunctional father, and her father's realization that ASD has been a major theme of his entire life.

In fairness, the compact and lightweight nature of the Mini 3 does lead to some compromises. If you opt for an Intelligent Flight Battery Plus, you can extend that to 51 minutes. The Mini 3 runs the gamut with an impressive flight time of up to 38 minutes, certainly enough to tour your local vistas, and swapping out batteries is a breeze. This drone is also capable of true vertical shooting. This little dynamo houses a 4K HDR camera steadied by a 3-axis gimbal, guaranteeing slick, cinematic footage. The 'Mini' prefix might suggest a lesser machine, but don't be fooled. Granted, with all the features the Air 2S packs in, it's going to be a great drone for nearly everyone. The Mavic Pro 2 also offers omnidirectional obstacle sensing, whereas the 2S has four directions only. The Pro 2 is just over 2 miles per hour faster than the S2 flat-out. The areas the 2S falls short of the more expensive Pro 2 are speed and obstacle sensing. The 2S also brings a newer version of DJI's OcuSync technology, offering transmission at distances up to 7.5 miles compared to the Pro 2's 6.2-mile promise. While the Air 2S might not have the Hasselblad technology built into the Mavic 2 Pro, it still sports a massive one-inch camera sensor and can record high-quality 5.4K video, compared to the Pro's 4K limit. With the release of the improved DJI Air 2S, you need to be an absolute stickler for image quality to justify the additional price of the (also improved) Mavic 2 Pro. The original Mavic Air caused an upset to the DJI product line by being so good, making people question why the Mavic Pro was worth the extra money. What size of drone you're happy with will depend entirely on your needs. Drones vary from tiny nano-drones that fit in your hand to massive flying machines that are powerful enough to haul cinema cameras into the air. All of our drone recommendations specify their use case so you don't have to worry too much about these aspects unless you're a picture aficionado. ![]() Sensor size, aperture, and other features are also important if you plan on taking great pictures, but a lot of this requires knowing how photography works to make full sense of these specs. If you're looking to do more professional work, it's also worth noting if the drone can take RAW photos or videos that have a flat color grade so that they can be graded later. Make sure you look for drones that offer the resolution and framerate you want-the better the picture and video you want to take, the better resolution and framerate you're going to require. The same general rules apply here as with any digital camera purchase.
![]() Our two longest, both mal-positioned pips, took 24 and 27 hours. Our two quickest chicks went from pip to hatch in only 3 and 4 hours. ![]() The time frame on all the above steps varies SO much between chicks. Most of them lay around for a bit, but some get right to the business of learning to walk. ![]() When the chick comes out it is wet and pretty tired. The chick in the pictures below actually got its toes out the crack a bit during kicking. Kick and Hatch – when the chick has finished unzipping the shell it begins to kick its feet and push with its head over and over again, slowly (or fast, depending on the chick) breaking off the cap and getting out of the shell. It makes a line of pips about 3/4 of the way to almost all the way around the egg, creating kind of a cap. ![]() Zip (or unzip) – Once the chick has absorbed everything it needs to absorb it will start to “unzip” its shell. This is why chicks don’t need to eat right away, because they have the energy from the yolk to live on.Ĥ. During this time the chick is absorbing all the blood from the vessels in the membrane of the shell, as well as absorbing the yolk into its abdomen. If the pip is a hole you can see the beak inside the hole moving a bit, opening and closing, and cheeping occasionally. After the external pip there is often a long period of time with little to no activity with the egg. A mal-positioned pip usually takes longer to get out because it is just taking its first breaths at the time of the external pip and thus is combining the time for internal and external into one time. It is called a mal-positioned chick and it performs a mal-positioned external pip, and no internal pip. Sometimes, as in the second picture above, the chick does not get into proper position inside the egg to perform an internal pip into the air cell first. As you can see in the pictures, sometimes a pip is actually a hole and the shell falls off there, sometimes it is just a few cracks in the shell and it sticks out a bit. This happens after it has already broken into the air cell and started breathing. External Pip – the external pip is when the chick uses its beak to break through the shell, leaving one little crack or hole. The egg often wobbles around a lot too during this time as the chick wiggles.Ģ. You can’t see anything from outside the egg, but you can hear it cheeping from inside the egg. It will take its first breath and start breathing regularly and even cheeping once this happens. Internal Pip – the internal pip is when the chick uses it’s beak to break through the membrane into the air cell in the fat end of the egg. It has been fun to learn about how a chick hatches, and especially to watch it first-hand.ġ. Like one minute inside the egg, the next minute broken egg with chick out. It just busted out of the egg in a big spurt of energy. I always thought that a chick just hatched. This is a repost from my blog a few years ago… It can take about 24-72 hours for the hatch to complete (from the first chick to the last chick). The first chick can pip anywhere from day 20-24ish, but most hatches take place on day 21. Now you wait in excited anticipation for the hatch to begin! Keep the humidity up while you wait and through the entire hatch. Do not use small containers of water because your chicks could drown in them after hatch if you aren’t careful. I ball them up loosely and then put them in and pour water on them. If the water reservoirs in your incubator are not enough to keep the humidity up you can add wet paper towels to the incubator. During the days that follow you need to open the incubator as little as possible, only when absolutely necessary to maintain the humidity (thus the term “lock-down”). You also need to raise the incubator humidity up to about 65-75% (lower for high altitude). Once you have candled on day 17 and removed any obvious dead eggs you prepare for “Lock-Down.” You need to remove the egg turner (if you have one) and set all the eggs on their sides flat on the bottom of the incubator.

The diversity of Columbus’ population also contributes to its growing reputation as a “foodie” city, Dekker said. “It is just a little more conducive to people creating unique restaurants and people finding their niche.” “I think Columbus is a city that is generally pretty friendly toward entrepreneurs… it is friendly toward people starting businesses,” Dekker said. “I would always encounter some really interesting diner or local café, and I wanted a way to just record some thoughts on those places… to record where it was and what I had.”ĭespite the expansion of the blog outside of Ohio’s state lines, Dekker said Columbus is developing its own identity as a city devoted to culinary innovation. “There are some really memorable spots around Columbus and other places (I) have traveled to,” Dekker said. “(I) do more of describing what (the restaurant) was like so that someone else can assess for themselves whether it is a place they would like or not,” he said.ĭekker’s blog currently features more than 200 restaurant reviews, and almost all of them focus on the restaurants’ breakfast offerings.Īlthough the majority of restaurants reviewed by Dekker are located in Ohio, “Breakfast with Nick” has expanded its range to feature several out-of-state reviews ranging from cafés in New York to donut shops in Oregon. “It was always just kind of starting from the ground up and building my experience, focusing more on what the place was like and what I ordered and what I thought of it.”ĭekker said while reviewing a restaurant for “Breakfast with Nick,” he tries to focus on the overall experience rather than the minute, critical details, in hopes that his readers will venture out to try the food for themselves. ![]() “(I) started very simply posting about places (I was) going,” he said. With no formal culinary training or experience in the restaurant business prior to starting his blog, Dekker said “Breakfast with Nick” evolved as he continued to casually post about various Columbus-area restaurants.

The blog, which started with what Dekker called a “glorified hobby,” has made the OSU alum somewhat of a local celebrity. “It was kind of on a whim,” Dekker said of starting his blog, “Breakfast with Nick.” in history, literature and criticism from OSU in 2007, Dekker decided to turn a lifelong passion for early morning cuisine into a blog about his local food-fueled adventures. “I’ve always loved breakfast ever since I was a kid,” said Dekker, who teaches an Introduction to Theatre course on OSU’s Columbus campus.Īfter receiving a Ph.D. ![]() OSU lecturer Nick Dekker, who maintains the breakfast blog ‘Breakfast with Nick’Ĭredit: Courtesy of Robin Oatts / Genre Creativeįor Ohio State lecturer Nick Dekker, breakfast is much more than soggy cereal and microwaved Pop-Tarts. |
