![]() ![]() “This is another unfortunate attempt to spread baseless rumors to undermine the reputation of the greatest Fire Department in the world,” FDNY spokeswoman Amanda Farinacci said in a written statement. Between those who have been demoted and those out on medical leave, there are only seven active staff chiefs citywide, sources said. There are 23 staff chiefs in the entire FDNY, including several on medical leave. Kavanagh hasn’t signed off on any of the demotion requests and has asked everyone to stay on as she fine tunes her leadership team. In response, seven other staff chiefs, including Massucci, FDNY Chief of Department John Hodgens and Chief of Fire Operations John Esposito, have asked to be demoted to deputy chief and moved back into the field. She was said to have wanted “out-of-the-box thinking” from the chiefs but was peppered with requests about overtime and department-issued take-home cars, according to a recording of the gathering shared with The News. Kavanagh also complained that her staff chiefs hadn’t brought her any new ideas about how to improve the department. “The defendants’ acts of retaliation have left staff chief morale festering,” the lawsuit notes, noting repeated tense incidents between Kavanagh and the staff chiefs and newly appointed First Deputy Commissioner Joseph Pfeifer, who the fire commissioner appointed “to quell the turmoil caused by her own actions.”įront page of the New York Daily News for March 5, 2023: Inside the bitter battle tearing FDNY apart – are lives at risk? Fire Commissioner Laura Kavanagh has overseen a shakeup of the FDNY that has angered a group of her top chiefs.įDNY sources said Kavanagh was opposed to the demoted chiefs aggressive leadership styles and described them as “bad apples” although none of them had any substantiated complaints with the department. Since then, the department has been in “free fall” the amended complaint claims. The ageism lawsuit was first filed on March 23. The suit also says Kavanagh pressured chief Massucci into retracting his demotion request by claiming it would get him “back into the mix.” The amended lawsuit claims Kavanagh retaliated against Gala for participating in the lawsuit by publicizing his son Robert’s robbery case in FDNY internal media feeds. “All these heroes seek is to be treated fairly and to restore an FDNY that puts safety first,” Walden said. “We are hopeful that the court will recognize the injustice suffered by this group of dedicated public servants.” ![]() “To subject these experienced public servants to age discrimination and retaliation is not only morally wrong, it defies the letter and spirit of the laws that guarantee equal treatment in any American workplace regardless of race, gender, religion - or age,” said attorney Jim Walden, who is representing the chiefs. At 40, Kavanagh, the city’s first woman fire commissioner, is also one of the city’s youngest commissioners. ![]() ![]() ![]() And if you’re a mobile game developer or you’re working on a free-to-play game, you can cross that threshold very quickly. With the pricing change, the company said that developers would have to pay $.15 to $.20 for every game install after 200,000 installs. Bigger video game studios would have to pay $1,900 per user per year. Once you cross that threshold and generate between $100,000 and $200,000 in revenue, you would have to pay $399 per user per year. Developed by StudioMDHR, it was initially released in 2017 and stands out mainly for its artistic style, inspired by 1930s cartoons.

Under the old pricing scheme, indie developers who earn less than $100,000 per year would be able to use Unity for free. Cuphead: A game that will transport you to another era. Last year, after conducting three rounds of layoffs, the company tried to improve its financials by changing the fee structure for the engine. At $38.74 a share, the company’s stock is still down significantly compared to its all-time high of $201.12 in November 2021. In an SEC filing, Unity says that it is conducting this new round of layoffs as it “restructures and refocuses on its core business, and to position itself for long-term and profitable growth.”Įven though this move will reduce the company’s costs, shares haven’t moved significantly as Unity stock is currently down 0.62% in pre-market trading compared to yesterday’s closing price. Unity’s main competitor is Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite and the Unreal Engine. Some popular games that have been developed using Unity’s engine include Cuphead, Ori and the Blind Forest (and its sequel), Hearthstone, Cities: Skylines (and its sequel), Hollow Knight and Beat Saber. Unity is the maker of a video game engine that is widely used in the video game industry. This time, around 1,800 employees will lose their job in the coming weeks as the company is trying to improve its financial performance after a difficult year.

You could argue that this makes the game even more difficult, but I'd rather they increase the difficulty in a less aggravating way to locking you into an upgrade.

In any case, REAL ID compliant states may continue to issue noncompliant licenses and IDs to individuals with or without lawful status, including deferred action, as defined under the REAL ID Act. Individuals with approved Deferred Action, valid EADs and valid SSNs may continue to hold temporary (limited-term) REAL IDs until their expiration. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) Program standardized and expedited the process for obtaining these supporting identification documents for individuals with Deferred Action seeking REAL IDs. The REAL ID Act allows states to issue temporary (i.e., limited-term), REAL ID-compliant driver's licenses and ID cards to applicants who provide valid, documentary evidence that they have “approved deferred action status.” Under the REAL ID regulation, applicants with approved deferred action who hold valid Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) and Social Security Numbers (SSNs) may qualify to receive temporary REAL ID driver's licenses and ID cards. Although a REAL ID card may not be necessary for other purposes such as driving, voting, banking, or applying for benefits or employment, we recommend checking with the relevant state, local, or commercial entities regarding their specific identification requirements. ![]() To ensure you have the proper identification, DHS recommends that you contact the federal agency you plan to visit in advance, to obtain information regarding identification requirements.Īs a reminder, the REAL ID Act applies when an individual presents a state-issued driver’s license or identification card to a federal agency for an “official purpose” as defined in the Act and regulations, such as boarding a federally regulated commercial aircraft.

What is perhaps more interesting than looking at the absolute churn number is to look at where the churn on the Cowboys' roster occurred. I always scoff at that notion, because if you were to look closely at what is happening with the roster, or if you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd recognize that the roster renewal is intrinsic to the way the NFL operates. There are some commentators that would have you believe the Cowboys are in a rebuilding mode. So by itself, the number is not terribly interesting, but it does highlight one particular aspect of the NFL: a continuous roster renewal that's the modus operandi of just about every NFL team. Here's how the four NFC East teams compare: Players left on 2013 roster from the 2011 opening day rosterĪll four teams had roughly the same level of churn. They provide a pretty good cross-section of NFL teams, a recent Super Bowl winner, a playoff participant, a ho-hum team and a bottom-feeding team - the Giants, Redskins, Cowboys and Eagles respectively. In fact, this level of churn is pretty normal across the NFL. While a statement like "less than half of the players remain on the roster" sounds like a lot, it's not.

Inspired by their post, I wanted to understand just how much roster churn the Cowboys have undergone in the last two years.
