Hancock and Houghton MI Michigan hold an annual celebration called Bridgefest to commemorate the opening of the bridge that united their two communities.ĭuring our week long adventure in Michigan's Upper Peninsula this fall, we discovered the Quincy Dredge Number Two.

It is the only land-based link between the north (so-called Copper Island) and south sections of the Keweenaw peninsula. It crosses Portage Lake, a portion of the waterway which cuts across the Keweenaw Peninsula with a canal linking the final several miles to Lake Superior to the northwest.

Our recent aircraft orders and commitments reflect our confidence in the long-term growth trajectory of the aviation sector, which is outlined in our recent World Fleet Forecast projecting that the global passenger fleet will almost double by 2042.” Our expanded delivery pipeline allows us to offer our customers the A330neo’s range and reduced emissions to support their evolving fleet needs. Avolon’s selection of the A330-900 reflects its vision to secure the earliest available slots, to take advantage of growing widebody demand around the world.Īndy Cronin, Avolon CEO, said: “We have been a strong supporter of the A330neo programme since its launch and with our existing widebody orderbook fully placed we are now locking in future growth in a supply constrained environment. LE BOURGET – Avolon, the international leasing company, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to order 20 A330neo aircraft.

The anxiety of the husband character in the sitcom towards his wife leaving him resembles Travis’ psychotic break after Betsy neglects him following their date, leading to the visually striking scene of Travis at the payphone where the camera wanders off to look down the hall. It seems then that once Travis shatters his T.V., he loses his only real connection to the outside world, thus allowing him to act without inhibitions, leading to his violent outburst. It is after this moment in the film that Travis meets Iris and Sport, and goes on to hatch his violent plan. As she pleads for forgiveness, Travis pushes over the television, and it crashes to the ground. On the program, a wife confesses to her husband her love for another man. His foot is pressed up against the T.V., as the set leans backwards precariously. Travis is now holding his gun in his lap, allowing the barrel to point towards the television set. This time, the sitcom is not a real television program, but rather one shot for the purposes of using it in the film. Just three minutes of runtime following this scene, Travis is again in his apartment during the day watching a sitcom. The empty pair of shoes in the middle of the dance floor suggests Travis’ exclusion from both the couples within the program, as well as the social norms they represent. Thus, Travis’ anxiety of black male autonomy may act as a commentary on the American psyche of the post-Vietnam era, if Travis is read as a character representing the nation itself. His anxiety about being separated for the normative social order represented by American Bandstand, as is suggested by his concerned expression and the camera’s zoom into a lone pair of shoes in the middle of the floor, representing Travis’ exclusion, is exacerbated by the autonomy exercised by black men in these two scenes. The presence of black men in this scene and the previous one greatly concern Travis, causing him to lash out violently in the convenience store and stare angrily at the television set. Travis stares with what seems to be an expression of concern and resentment as the camera pans across various dancing couples, the first couple being black. Immediately following the scene in which Travis kills the black man robbing the convenience store, the film cuts to Travis in the daytime intently viewing American Bandstand on his television set as he rests his gun barrel against his temple. If the character of Travis Bickle is a substitute for America in the mid 70’s, as is a common interpretation of the film, what does his consumption of media reveal about the American psyche of the era? ![]() While the adult films which Travis views at night “show all,” it is the other pieces of media that Travis consumes which reveal more, or at least as much, about his character as the adult films he watches. ![]() However, I believe that the television and film programs which Travis views provide a more nuanced insight into Travis’ psyche, and how the film is thinking about Travis’ representation as America. It can be easy to read these different pieces of media as simply replicating this contrast between the filth of the city and the optimistic outlook of popular media at the time, a difference which is repeatedly shown through visual cues and costume design. The porn theater which Travis frequents nightly contrasts with the uplifting and family-friendly appeal of the two television programs he views during the day: American Bandstand and another sitcom. Much like how the dark filth of nighttime in New York City is contrasted with the sunny exterior shots of Betsy and the Palantine campaign headquarters, so too is the television programming which Travis Bickle consumes within his apartment. ![]() The app consumes less battery power and doesn’t affect the phone’s ability.

So I had to put my phone on do not disturb. ![]() Being a function lead in the project, you get questions at any hour of the day, including in the middle of the night. When I was with my former employer, I had a 12-hour time difference with our co-dev studio in Shanghai. For example, one studio can be responsible for the single-player plot part, one can produce multiplayer online battles, and other studios can be responsible for shifted content, vehicles, creatures, high-precision digital characters etc.įrancois Dallaire, Principal Technical Artist, TiMi Singapore Third, co-dev can help disperse the pressure of technology development. Multi-regional, multicultural teamwork can more easily break these limits of thinking, resulting in more creative collaborations. This can limit the diversity and innovation of games. Secondly, talent in each studio and region will have its own culture and way of thinking. So co-dev is a shortcut for large-scale game development.įirst of all, the ability to find talent is stronger when you can have teams in China, Canada, Singapore or the US. ![]() Every project I participated in at my former employers, there were studios in different regions and time zones for co-development. Whether you’re in Los Angeles, Singapore, Montréal, Shenzhen or Shanghai, it is very difficult to depend on a single studio in a single region to quickly build a complete and comprehensive team to develop AAA games. I believe that sharing ideas and expertise creates new forms of culture.Īlan Xu, Animation Director, TiMi Shenzhen On the other hand, it has the advantage of inducing diversity of products by sharing information and culture with Asia and the United States.

I firmly believe that being “remote first” will be a competitive advantage for us in the future.įor Team Kaiju, working in a distributed way will become the norm, it’s the future. What I find exhilarating is the challenge of building a new team, studio, and game remotely. The biggest challenge is having to work completely remotely on something as creatively and technically complex as a game. Rosi Zagorcheva, Operations Director, Team Kaiju It takes time to create a AAA game, but with a studio culture that embraces diversity, co-dev can make it happen faster. And a mix of cultures and backgrounds can lead to brilliant ideas. Locations and time zones are no barrier to finding the best people for the job. But it’s one of its greatest strengths too. How do you build complex games when everyone is working remotely? It’s one of the challenges of the co-development (co-dev) model. ![]() In this installment, they will talk about what lies ahead and how a commitment to international co-development will see TiMi join the ranks of AAA game makers.
