In the second round, at home to Premier League club AFC Bournemouth, Birmingham lined up in a 3–5–2 formation and gave a debut to loanee Cohen Bramall at left wing-back and a first start to Isaac Vassell. They had the better of the first half, and took the lead after 11 minutes when Jonathan Grounds headed a corner down to the unmarked Maikel Kieftenbeld who tapped in. After Vassell beat defenders for pace, turned the goalkeeper and rolled the ball towards goal, Tyrone Mings was able to get back to clear. Vassell was replaced through injury at half-time, Bournemouth equalised a minute later, the momentum switched, and a defensive lapse allowed Mark Pugh to score the winner after 68 minutes. | 6,138,100 |

Assassin's Creed Origins
Assassin's Creed Origins is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the tenth major installment in the "Assassin's Creed" series and the successor to 2015's "Assassin's Creed Syndicate". It was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 27, 2017. The game is set in Ancient Egypt near the end of the Ptolemaic period (49–47 BCE) and recounts the secret fictional history of real-world events. The story follows a Medjay named Bayek, and explores the origins of the centuries-long conflict between the Brotherhood of Assassins, who fight for peace by promoting liberty, and The Order of | 6,138,103 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
the Ancients—forerunners to the Templar Order—who desire peace through the forced imposition of order.
"Origins" received positive reviews from critics, who praised the story, characters, voice acting, reworked gameplay-systems, immersive world of Egypt, historical accuracy and the visuals, while criticizing some of the pacing and technical issues. The game was followed by "Assassin's Creed Odyssey", which takes place in Classical Greece and was released on October 5, 2018.
# Gameplay.
"Assassin's Creed Origins" is an action-adventure stealth game played from a third-person perspective. Players complete quests—linear scenarios with set objectives—to progress through the story, earn experience | 6,138,104 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
points, and acquire new skills. Outside of quests, the player can freely roam the open world environment on foot, horseback, camel-back, horse-drawn vehicles or boat to explore locations, complete optional side-quests and unlock weapons and equipment.
The "eagle vision" mode, which was used by the franchise to give the player the ability to scout an area by highlighting enemies and objects, has been replaced by a Bonelli's eagle named Senu as a companion. The player is able to take control of Senu and scout an area in advance, highlighting enemies which will then be visible when they return to controlling Bayek, the game's main character. The player can also tame various predators which will | 6,138,105 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
serve as a companion for the player and assist them against enemies. Naval combat, underwater exploration and tomb raiding return to the series.
The game also features revised combat mechanics. Previous titles in the "Assassin's Creed" series used a "paired animation system" whereby the player character would engage with an enemy and combat would be dictated by a series of predetermined animations based on player inputs and scripted AI movements. "Origins" moves to a "hit-box system". When the player wields a weapon, they will strike at whatever is in range, allowing them to hit enemies directly, injure individual body parts, and creating the possibility of missing an enemy entirely. Complementing | 6,138,106 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
this is the way weapons fall into different categories and are rated on their damage dealt, speed and range. Enemies will be drawn from several basic archetypes that use a variety of tactics in combat which, combined with the hit-box system, will require the player to learn the attributes of individual weapons and tailor their playing style to succeed in combat. As enemy combat is also dictated by the hit-box system, the player has been equipped with a shield and needs to balance their offensive and defensive capabilities. Locations within the game world are designed to enable the player to choose their playing style by offering stealth and open combat as equally-viable choices for completing | 6,138,107 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
objectives.
"Origins" introduces an arena-based combat system where the player fights waves of increasingly difficult combinations of enemies culminating in a boss fight. While the introduction to the arena is incorporated into the main story, the arena mode stands alone from the wider narrative. The game world features several arenas, with a variety of enemy combinations and unique bosses not found in the game world. The player is able to unlock additional weapons and equipment by completing arena fights.
# Synopsis.
## Setting.
The player takes on the role of a Medjay named Bayek and his wife Aya, as they work to protect the people of the Ptolemaic Kingdom during a time of widespread upheaval: | 6,138,108 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
the Pharaoh, Ptolemy XIII, struggles to maintain his rule while harbouring ambitions of expanding his kingdom; his sister, the recently deposed Cleopatra, begins marshalling loyalist forces to launch a counter-coup against Ptolemy; and frequent incursions into the Kingdom by the Roman Republic under the command of Julius Caesar lead to fears of an imminent invasion. Bayek's role as a Medjay brings him and Aya into contact with the secretive forces manipulating these events and into becoming the first Assassins.
## Plot.
In 49 BCE, Bayek, a Medjay charged with protecting the Siwa Oasis, is abducted along with his son Khemu by a group of masked men and taken to an underground vault in the Temple | 6,138,109 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
of Amun. The masked men give Bayek a dormant Apple of Eden and demand that he use it to open a secret vault. Khemu helps Bayek escape, but while struggling with one of the masked men, Bayek inadvertently kills Khemu. One year later in 48 BCE, Bayek has exiled himself to track down the five masked men to take his revenge. He finds the first one, Rudjek "The Heron", and kills him. Bayek then returns to Siwa to kill the local priest Medunamun, "The Ibis", who has been torturing Siwans for information to open the same vault. Bayek then heads for Alexandria, where Aya has been tracking another of the masked men. Aya reveals that she has already killed Actaeon "The Vulture" and Ktesos "The Ram", leaving | 6,138,110 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
only one target left, "The Snake". Bayek identifies the Royal Scribe Eudoros as The Snake, but Bayek is disturbed by Eudoros' last words, which imply there are more masked men. Aya directs Bayek to her friend Apollodorus the Sicilian for more information. Apollodorus introduces him to Cleopatra, who confirms that the masked men form the Order of Ancients. The Order ousted her from the throne and seek to control all of Egypt by using Ptolemy as their puppet.
Cleopatra gives Bayek four new targets: "The Scarab", "The Hyena", "The Lizard" and "The Crocodile". He tracks them down and kills them while Aya convinces Pompey the Great to ally with Cleopatra. Bayek receives a letter from Aya explaining | 6,138,111 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
that there are more members of the Order at large, including members of Ptolemy's royal guard who are the likely culprits responsible for Khemu's death. Bayek begins to question his mission, believing Cleopatra is using him to kill her rivals. Pompey is killed by Lucius Septimius, "The Jackal", forcing Bayek and Aya to sneak Cleopatra into the palace to meet Julius Caesar. Cleopatra impresses Caesar and secures his support. Bayek kills Pothinus, "The Scorpion", but is stopped from killing Septimius by Caesar. Aya watches Ptolemy get eaten by crocodiles when he tries to flee across the Nile.
Cleopatra takes the throne as Pharaoh. Septimius becomes an advisor for Caesar and Cleopatra cuts ties | 6,138,112 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
with Bayek and Aya. This causes Bayek and his supporters to realize that Cleopatra and Caesar have now allied themselves with the Order. Bayek gathers his allies to form a brotherhood to counter the Order and defend the free will of the people. Bayek and Aya realize the Order showed interest in the tomb of Alexander the Great, where they find a mortally wounded Apollodorus. Apollodorus warns them that Caesar's lieutenant Flavius is "The Lion" and the true leader of the Order. He and Septimius had taken the Orb and a Staff from the tomb and are going to Siwa to open the Vault.
Bayek tracks Flavius to Cyrene, where he has used the activated Apple of Eden to hold the population in thrall. He kills | 6,138,113 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
Flavius, avenging Khemu's death and returns to Aya. Aya recruits Marcus Junius Brutus the Younger and Gaius Cassius Longinus to their cause. She heads to Rome with Brutus and Cassius to assassinate Caesar and Septimius. Bayek and Aya part ways but form the foundation of the Assassin Brotherhood when they both swear to protect the world from the shadows. In Rome, Aya confronts Septimius, who wields the Staff of Eden and she kills him. She then infiltrates the Roman Senate and assassinates Caesar. Later, she meets with Cleopatra and warns her to be a fair ruler or she will return to assassinate her. Afterward, Bayek and Aya (now calling herself Amunet) begin recruiting and training other Assassins | 6,138,114 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
as they build the Assassin Brotherhood in Egypt and Rome respectively.
In the present day, Layla Hassan, a researcher for Abstergo Industries, is tasked with finding and retrieving an artifact in Egypt. However, she instead finds a tomb containing the mummies of Bayek and Aya. Hoping to find any relevant information that would secure her a position in the company's Animus Project, Layla decides to relive both Bayek and Aya's memories using a modified Animus without telling her superiors. When Layla fails to report in, Abstergo send a team to kill her. Layla thwarts the attempt on her life, but her friend and support officer Deanna is killed. Layla returns to the Animus, but is later woken by | 6,138,115 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
William Miles, the Assassin Mentor. She accepts William's offer to work with the Assassins, but stops short of actually joining them. The two depart for modern-day Alexandria. In experiencing Bayek's memories, Layla may encounter a series of ancient structures built by the First Civilization. Each contains a message that alludes to Layla playing a pivotal role in an upcoming apocalyptic event.
### Downloadable content.
Ubisoft released two chapters of story-based downloadable content that continue the narrative of the main game. In the first chapter, "The Hidden Ones", Bayek is called to the Sinai Peninsula by Tahira who oversees the local Assassin bureau. Sinai is under occupation by the | 6,138,116 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
Roman Empire, who are forcing the local population to mine turquoise. Tahira is concerned that the Assassins' support for a rebel faction has led to their exposure and requests Bayek's aid. Bayek agrees that the Assassins are vulnerable and decides to kill the three lieutenants of General Rufio, the consul of Sinai, in the hopes of drawing him out. Although successful, the lieutenants taunt Bayek with the claim that the Order of Ancients still exists. The Assassin bureau is fire-bombed and Tahira is killed. Bayek is captured and crucified, only to be saved by the arrival of Amunet, who warns him that his actions in Sinai risk exposing the entire Assassin Brotherhood. Rufio arrives and begins | 6,138,117 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
slaughtering the villagers as a means of subjugating the population. Bayek and Amunet stop the massacre and Bayek kills Rufio, who reveals that Caesar rebuilt the Order of Ancients and that their influence extends the breadth of the Empire. Amunet asks Bayek to look into Gamilat, the rebel leader, who has provoked fights with the Romans then hidden his men among civilians, knowing that the Romans will kill indiscriminately; he then uses this to recruit new soldiers. Bayek confronts Gamilat and kills him when he defends his actions as a necessary evil. With the people believing the Assassins destroyed, Bayek decides to discreetly rebuild the Brotherhood and expand to Judea, the Levant and beyond.
In | 6,138,118 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
the second chapter, "The Curse of the Pharaohs", Amunet asks Bayek to investigate a disturbance in Thebes which she believes is a sign of another Piece of Eden. Bayek arrives to find the city in the grip of fear as apparitions of the undead plague the region. He learns that two relics have been stolen from nearby tombs: the first belonging to Nefertiti has been taken by black market antiquities dealers who intend to sell it; the other belonging to Akhenaten was stolen in retaliation for a cult worshipping him being established in Thebes as veneration of Akhenaten is considered heresy. Believing the relics will offer the user the same power that Flavius used to subjugate Cyrene, Bayek resolves | 6,138,119 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
to return the relics to their proper places. He tracks both relics to a Greek official named Tychon who is based in the Temple of Hatshepsut. After recovering the relics, he visits the tombs of Nefertiti and Akhenaten in the Valley of the Kings and finds them desecrated. The only way to restore balance is to cross over into the afterlife. Bayek discovers that these are reflections of the mortal world and that the corruption that has taken hold in Thebes has spread to the afterlife. He realises that Aten, the god worshipped by the monotheistic Akhenaten, is actually the Piece of Eden he is looking for and that Akhenaten was not buried with it; instead, it was passed on to his descendants and | 6,138,120 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
is held by the cult of Amun. The curse plaguing Thebes was unleashed by Isidora, a priestess of Amun as revenge for the death of her mother. Bayek follows her to the tomb of Tutankhamun where she tries to justify her actions. When she refuses to stand down, Bayek kills her and takes possession of the Aten. He entrusts it to Sutekh, a thief who aided his quest, with burying it in a place where it will never be found.

## "The Hidden Ones".
"The Hidden Ones" is a story-driven expansion that sheds more light on the rise of the Assassin Brotherhood. It is set four years after the events of the main game and takes the player to the Sinai Peninsula region, where they will | 6,138,121 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
have to investigate a clash between a rebel faction and occupying Roman forces. In addition to the new story chapter, "The Hidden Ones" introduces a variety of new items for the player to acquire, including an outfit, two Legendary weapon sets, a pair of mounts, and other weapons. The expansion raises the game's level cap to 45.
## "Discovery Tour".
The new educational mode lets the player choose between free roaming the world of Ancient Egypt to learn more about its history and daily life, or embarking on guided tours curated by historians and Egyptologists. This disables the storyline, side-quests, conflicts with enemies, time limits, and gameplay constraints. "Discovery Tour" was released | 6,138,122 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
on February 20, 2018. A standalone expansion with only the Discovery Tour included was also released for Windows specifically for the educational market.
"Discovery Tour" is based on reliable research results from universities and institutions like the British Museum.
## "The Curse of the Pharaohs".
The second expansion is a new quest, set in Thebes, about an ancient curse that is plaguing the land due to grave robbers angering the gods. "The Curse of the Pharaohs" focuses on Egyptian mythology, pitting players against famous pharaohs and Egyptian beasts, as they uncover the cause of the curse that has brought certain dead rulers back to life. "The Hidden Ones" raises the level cap to 45 | 6,138,123 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
while "The Curse of the Pharaohs" increases it to 55. Like "The Hidden Ones", the expansion adds new outfits, gear and weapons, these themed around ancient Egyptian mythology. "The Curse of the Pharaohs" was released on March 13, 2018.
# Development.
Development of "Assassin's Creed Origins" started in early 2014, after the completion of "". The series had been following a yearly release cycle, but after the launch of "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" in 2015, Ubisoft chose to delay the release of "Origins" until 2017. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot cited a desire to focus on the quality of the individual titles, the opportunity to develop future games with new engines, and the disappointing sales | 6,138,124 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
of "Syndicate" as the reasons behind the decision. The team enlisted Ubisoft Kiev to develop the PC version in parallel with the console versions.
Information on "Origins", then titled "Assassin's Creed Empire", first leaked in January 2017, showing several screenshots of a character on a boat and in front of a cave. The game was officially revealed on June 11, 2017. It was developed using the latest iteration of the AnvilNext engine. During production of "Assassin's Creed III" in November 2011 Ubisoft conducted a fan survey exploring potential settings for future titles. Ancient Egypt was one of the most popular choices, but Alex Hutchinson, the creative director of "Assassin's Creed III", | 6,138,125 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
dismissed the results as he considered Ancient Egypt—as with the other two chosen settings, feudal Japan and World War II—as being "the worst choices" for a setting. The development team hired Egyptologists to assist in making the open world more accurate to the time period.
The original score for the game was composed by Sarah Schachner, who previously worked on the series with "" and "Assassin's Creed Unity".
## Marketing.
In August 2017, Square Enix announced a promotional crossover between the "Assassin's Creed" franchise and "Final Fantasy XV". Taking the form of an in-game event, it introduced "Assassin's Creed"-themed content to the game. "Assassin's Creed"-themed content was also | 6,138,126 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
made available in other Ubisoft games such as "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands" and "".
# Editions.
At launch, the following editions were available:
# Reception.
"Assassin's Creed Origins" received "generally favorable" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic.
Louise Blain from GamesRadar+ gave the game a score of 5 out of 5 stars and called it the best of the franchise, saying that "As beautiful as it is deadly, "Origins" Egyptian playground is finally everything you wanted the "Creed" to be." Ray Carsillo's score of 9/10 on EGMNow said that ""Assassin's Creed Origins" delivers a robust experience that mixes up the traditional "Assassin's Creed" formula in a | 6,138,127 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
way that's fresh and fun to play—but which also harkens back to the series' roots in some welcome ways, too. It marks an evolution fans might not have even known they were waiting for, delivering one of the best overall experiences we've seen yet from the series."
Alanah Pearce's 9/10 review on IGN stated that ""Assassin's Creed Origins" is a deep-dive into a truly stunning realization of ancient Egypt, with a rich series of cultures, genuine characters, and more mission variety than any other game in the series. The combat is challenging and thoughtful, and while the loot system doesn't match up to games like "Destiny 2", there are enough different weapon types and enough enemy variety to | 6,138,128 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
keep you swapping between weapons, catered to the situation. The RPG elements encourage challenges of their own, and even despite a handful of bugs, I desperately wanted to keep playing."
Colin Campbell of "Polygon" gave the game a score of 8.5/10, writing, "In essence, "Assassin's Creed Origins" is much the same game as the original "Assassin's Creed", which came out a decade ago. It's a formula that people like to play, and it's certainly been honed and improved over the years. "Origins" is, then, undoubtedly the best iteration of this formula yet. But I yearn for a fresh approach and new ideas, something that astounds the senses as much as the wondrous world this game inhabits."
The game's | 6,138,129 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
historical accuracy and use of historians and Egyptologists was praised by "Windows Central" and "Forbes", which referred to it as "perhaps the most realistic recreation of classical Egypt ever made." "Vice" spoke about this to Harvard Egyptologist Peter Der Manuelian, who highlighted many of the game's efforts.
GameSpot gave the game a 7/10, saying: "While "Assassin's Creed Origins" reaches great heights in this new setting, it routinely runs into issues that bog down the overall experience. Technical issues make for an inconsistent experience and its new gameplay pillars wobble under the weight of its systems. But despite this, the world of "Origins" remains fresh and exciting to explore, | 6,138,130 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
which is a testament to the remarkable setting and compelling story."
"Eurogamer" ranked the game 23rd on their list of the "Top 50 Games of 2017", GamesRadar+ ranked it third on their list of the 25 Best Games of 2017, and EGMNow ranked it sixth on their list of the 25 Best Games of 2017, while "Polygon" ranked it 15th on their list of the 50 best games of 2017. The game won the award for "Best Open World Game" in "PC Gamer"s 2017 Game of the Year Awards, whereas its other nominations were for "Best Setting" and "Game of the Year". It was also nominated for "Best Xbox One Game" in both "Destructoid"s Game of the Year Awards 2017 and IGN's Best of 2017 Awards, the latter of which also nominated | 6,138,131 |
54003770 | Assassin's Creed Origins | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Assassin's%20Creed%20Origins | Assassin's Creed Origins
it for "Best Action-Adventure Game" and "Best Graphics". In Giant Bomb's 2017 Game of the Year Awards, the game won the award for "Best New Character" (Bayek), and was a runner-up for "Best World". It also won the award for "Best Setting" in "Game Informer"s 2017 Action Game of the Year Awards.
"Kotaku"'s Jason Schreier discovered that many of the game's user reviews on review aggregator Metacritic were artificially improved through the use of an online bot.
In an article on history-themed video games, the "Damals" magazine wrote that the "Discovery Tour" mode presented a transformation from an entertainment product to an interactive learning aid. In its 2018 exhibition on the "Queens of Egypt", | 6,138,132 |

# Critical reception.
"Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1" received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 70, based on 15 reviews. Neil Z. Yeung from AllMusic gave a positive review, stating "Calvin Harris managed to find a way to distill the sounds of summer into a near-perfect spirit on his fifth effort, "Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1", assembling an all-star roster of performers for an economic ten-track burst that doesn't overstay its welcome." He summed up the review by saying ""Funk Wav Bounces" impresses not just with the marquee names, but with how effortless, | 6,138,141 |

communal and fun Harris makes it all feel." Clayton Purdom of "The A.V. Club" said, "It's a winning bid for artistic credibility: not going for smarter, more complex, or bigger, just better, more fun. Full of island affectations, soft-rock gloss, and chintzy good-life strings, it is, at last, the sort of fun you don’t have to feel bad about the next day." Collin Brennan of "Consequence of Sound" wrote: ""Funk Wav Bounces" isn't the kind of album that's going to change the conversation in pop music, but it doesn't want to. All it wants to do is sit by the pool, release, let go, and have a good time." Leonie Cooper of "NME" was also positive, saying the album is, "a triumph, a good-time album | 6,138,142 |
54003857 | Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Funk%20Wav%20Bounces%20Vol.%201 | Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1
of wall-to-wall hits with a carefree, funky tropical feel and more than enough cool points to see him embraced by the hipster crowd as well as holding on to the pop kids."
In a mixed review, "The Guardian"s Alexis Petridis stated: "Harris seems unsure whether an 80s boogie revival is the future of either dance music or mainstream pop, however. Elsewhere, there's a sense of bets being hedged and versatility being demonstrated to varying degrees of success." Jon O'Brien of "Prefix Magazine" said, "Ultimately, Harris appears to have simply swapped one formula for another, and if there's to be a "Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2" he will need to discover at least a few new tricks. ... [But] there are encouraging | 6,138,143 |
54003857 | Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Funk%20Wav%20Bounces%20Vol.%201 | Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1
signs here that the Harris of old hasn't been entirely lost for good." In his review, Josh Goller of "Slant Magazine" states, "By showing little interest in challenging the clichés of men fixated on conquest and status symbols and women focused on "feels," Harris undermines what could have been an inspired creative reinvention." In a negative review, Andy Gill of "The Independent" said, "It's a typical contacts-book R&B exercise, with an impressive cast of guests (including Frank, Pharrell, Snoop, Nicki, Katy, Ariana and others) on a fairly underwhelming series of grooves."

54004387 | Strategic competition | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Strategic%20competition | Strategic competition
Strategic competition
In business management, strategic competition is a commitment within an organization to make a very large change in competitive relationships. One of the main principles of strategic competition is that the response of an organization regarding another one's introduction of a new product defines the impact of such in the market. This type of competition has proven itself useful when trying to explain a firm's executive compensation schemes, leading to time compensation.
Within a market where strategic competition is present, investment provides a much bigger capability of taking advantage of future opportunities of growth which also implies obtaining a greater market share. | 6,138,158 |
54004387 | Strategic competition | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Strategic%20competition | Strategic competition
If such interaction between rivals is efficiently used, even all actors of the industry in which strategic competition was applied may be compensated on their profits. This is implemented either by putting entry barriers to new competitors or to dissuading others from 'making space' for stronger ones.
Also, the application of strategic competition may lead to outsourcing activities used by rival firms involved in the process.
# Basic elements.
Strategic competition consists of five basic elements:
- To comprehend competitive interaction as a dynamic system.
- To use such comprehension in order to forecast the effects that any intervention can produce in that system.
- To dispose of many | 6,138,159 |
54004387 | Strategic competition | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Strategic%20competition | Strategic competition
uncommitted resources that can be applied to different purposes.
- To predict the risk and return with enough accuracy for justifying the use of these resources.
- To possess the necessary will to set the actions that must be fulfilled towards such commitment.
In order for strategic competition to be successful, the analysis of these elements require a constant update of the firm's environment, considering that this type of competition possesses a rapidly evolving nature. Despite this, the shift from natural to strategic competition is a long process that might require generations to be fully implemented by a certain market.
# Models.
According to economics professor Timothy Van Zandt, | 6,138,160 |
54004387 | Strategic competition | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Strategic%20competition | Strategic competition
there exist two models of strategic competition: competition in quantities between firms producing perfect substitutes and competition between firms producing substitute goods by price.
# Uses in other areas.
Not only strategic competition is applied to the business area but also to other ones such as political science and international relations as well as a process to apply public policies. Even geopolitics and military, and many other areas that involve many actors that struggle for leadership or power, may use this approach.
This happens because such kind of competition brings about distinctive outcomes linked to capital structure. For example, the current status of Syria have provided | 6,138,161 |
54004387 | Strategic competition | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Strategic%20competition | Strategic competition
a fertile terrain for strategic competition of the many actors involved in the conflict. This element is likely to persist well beyond any formal resolution of the current situation there. Another example of this, is the growing economic and strategic competition between the USA and the People's Republic of China in the countries located in Southeast Asia. "See Continuum of conflict"

Criminal tradition
Criminal tradition - of the cultural transmission of criminal values. Criminal traditions are transmitted from the older generation to the younger generation, such as social customs are in other forms of society.
Studies of the criminal tradition involved Clifford R. Shaw and Henry D. McKay. They put forward a theory of “cultural transmission”, focuses on the development in some urban neighborhoods of a criminal tradition that persists from one generation to another despite constant changes in population. This theory stresses the value systems of different areas
Also worth noting theory of “differential association,” in which Edwin H. Sutherland described the processes by | 6,138,168 |
54004404 | Criminal tradition | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Criminal%20tradition | Criminal tradition
which criminal values are taken over by the individual. Edwin H. Sutherland asserted that criminal behavior is learned and that it is learned in interaction with others who have already incorporated criminal values.
Research by Shaw and McKay on the concept of cultural transmission indicates that a criminal tradition or subculture does exist in areas of larger cities. According to their studies Criminal tradition arises and is maintained in areas of instability, and the values, norms, and behaviors of the participants in the criminal tradition are viewed as normal by these people.

are easier to obey than direct instructions from specific individuals. This is the power of tradition. The norms of the life of groups in which the will of their members manifest themselves take the form of tradition most often. In the tradition that there is no personification, adolescents find it easier to obey them than to a particular person. Against this background, the criminal traditions that are prevalent in youth criminal groups, especially in closed educational and correctional institutions are especially dangerous. In a criminal environment, there are two kinds of traditions:
- They came to us from the criminal environment of the distant past and transformed into modern ones, taking | 6,138,170 |
54004404 | Criminal tradition | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Criminal%20tradition | Criminal tradition
into account the conditions of life of society and the relations dominating in it;
- New traditions that have arisen and established in a criminal environment in modern conditions and have no analogues in the past.
At the same time, there is a transformation of existing criminal traditions and the emergence of new ones. The reason for this is the changes in the social, economic, legal and other spheres.

54003530 | 2017–18 Chelsea F.C. season | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2017–18%20Chelsea%20F.C.%20season | 2017–18 Chelsea F.C. season
agreeing a fee with Everton only for Barkley to reject the move. (Barkley would later join Chelsea in the January transfer window.) Another English transfer target, Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, also rejected a move to Chelsea after a fee had been agreed between the two clubs, with Oxlade-Chamberlain instead choosing a move to Liverpool on deadline day.

Blues" to the top of their group after the first round of fixtures.
On 17 September, Chelsea hosted rivals Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, who managed to emerge with a point by drawing 0–0 with "the Blues". It was a frustrating match for Chelsea, who created several opportunities to score but could not find a cutting edge against a well-drilled Arsenal side. The game was also marred by David Luiz receiving a red card in the second half for a high tackle on Sead Kolašinac, with the defender set to miss Chelsea's next three matches as a result. His red card amounts to Chelsea's third red card of the season. The result sees "the Blues" remaining in third place, three points behind joint leaders Manchester | 6,138,195 |

in the process by becoming the first ever English club to defeat Atlético away from home in a European competition. Chelsea fell behind late in the first half after David Luiz conceded a penalty, which Antoine Griezmann converted. Morata leveled proceedings early in the second half with a header.
