With my father, who has always been my ally and inspiration, I established Malala Fund, a charity dedicated to giving every girl an opportunity to achieve a future she chooses. In recognition of our work, I received the Nobel Peace Prize in December 2014 and became the youngest-ever Nobel laureate.
I travel to many countries to meet girls fighting poverty, wars, child marriage and gender discrimination to go to school. Malala Fund is working so that their stories, like mine, can be heard around the world.
With more than 130 million girls out of school today, there is more work to be done. I hope you will join my fight for education and equality. Together, we can create a world where all girls can learn and lead.
Viewers can never seem to get enough non-stop thrills and weekly justice on TV. Since Columbo, the TV market has seen profit and success the case-of-the-week law enforcement shows. It's no wonder every network has its fair share of law enforcement procedural shows in constant rotation. Spins-offs of other spin-offs get green-lit and renewed quarterly. Its only been over the past 20 years that networks have upped their law enforcement game by diving deep into elite task forces.
From the US Navy SEALs to the US Army Delta Force, many of the United States elite military operators have seen their lives played out in hour-long dramas. Apart from the usual uniformed beat cops and detectives, elite units add a hint of Mission Impossible mixed with procedural themes. Adding bigger targets increases the weight of each episode and the tow on the characters. While courtroom shows and low-level cop shows continue to be a seller for networks, there have been several elite special force-based shows that have changed the crime TV landscape.
JAG (U.S. military acronym for Judge Advocate General) ushered in a new era of procedural law enforcement shows in 1995. The show follows former Navy pilot Harmon Rabb (David James Elliot) and his fellow lawyers navigating cases in the U.S. Navy's Judge Advocate General office. The show ran for ten seasons on CBS after being canceled in 1996 by NBC after one season.
Like most cases-of-the-week law enforcement shows, JAG handled themes centering on military issues on the seas and homeland. The show received rave reviews, earning three Primetime Emmys. The successful show helped launch a new brand of law enforcement show genre with the massively popular spin-off franchise NCIS.
With the premise and its characters first being introduced as a backdoor pilot in JAG, NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) revolves around a fictional group of agents working military-related cases. To date, NCIS has been renewed for its 21st season.
The massive successful show has become a sort of blueprint for modern law enforcement procedural shows. NCIS blends military themes and hints of comedy with a well-seasoned cast. The show has since launched various other NCIS-themed shows like NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans.
What happens when the world's most wanted criminal walks into the FBI headquarters one day and surrenders? The performance of a lifetime from James Spader. In The Blacklist, Spader plays Raymond 'Red' Reddington, a former U.S. intelligence officer turned top FBI's Most Wanted Fugitive who voluntarily surrenders to the FBI.

Criminal Minds became a stellar hit with CBS by Jeff Davis in 2005. The show follows agents at the FBI's BAU, Behavior Analysis Unit, who specialize in the use of criminal profiling to help solve cases. In addition to their work, Criminal Minds also dive into the personal lives of the agents.
The show maintained its steady viewership and ratings throughout its run. While the cases seemed fictional, Criminal Minds explored the psychology of criminals and help the audience better understand. After its original run ended in 2020, Criminal Minds returned for its 16th season, with a soft reboot titled Criminal Minds: Evolution in 2022.
A modern take on the 1968 show of the same name, Hawaii Five-0 centered on a specialized task force acting on behalf of the Hawaii government.

The role of Vic Mackey earned Chiklis two Academy Awards and remains one of the best law enforcement shows in TV history.
The Unit was an hour-long drama/thriller-filled show that follow an elite counterterrorism group called 'The Unit'. The heavily toned show took inspiration from the real-life elite US counterterrorism group of the U.S. Army known as Delta Force. In addition to high-risk missions, The Unit also focuses on the personal lives of its members outside their job.
Each week, The Unit dedicated a thrilling performance to audiences while also providing a unique experience for a look inside the U.S. military. Despite a strong start in viewership, The Unit only lasted four seasons before its cancelation.
From the mind of cop procedural show mastermind Dick Wolf, Chicago P.D. follows the careers and personal lives of law enforcement personnel in the 21st District of the Chicago Police Department.

Law & Order: SVU has won numerous Academy Awards and has been praised for its gripping and complex storylines. The show has since become one of the longest-running primetime live-action shows in US history.
... there are few breach scripts out there...along with a few "clear" the building ones. What is missing, IMHO, is a "stack-up" script. Most of the time the AI team stands right in front of the door, (even when is open) and does not enter properly. Avoiding the "fatal-funnel" is the number one priority in every CQB/building clearance operation, but ArmA AI seams to LOVE getting slotted by entering like a flock of sheep. I'm aware of ArmA engine limitations, regarding AI behaviour, so I know is just a dream that I have. Then I remember games from 20 years ago (specifically "Delta Force: Black Hawk Down") where your team stacked-up and when you gave a GO they clear the room properly, going tho the corners and whatnot.
I was thinking about this the other day when you posted. Over the last twenty years I've played every Rainbow Six game in existence and I still have SWAT 4 installed. Even in those triple A titles the stack and clear options do not always work properly. AIs get stuck, stop responding or complete the clear in a less than ideal way. Trying to shoehorn that functionality into A3 will likely never produce reliable results. It will either be a rigid scripted sequence (not very immersive or adaptable) or it will have an unacceptable rate of failure.
It's not impossible but it is also not likely to reliably produce the results you want.
On what planet is it mostly the same? Its Left 4 Dead with cops instead of zombies. Games like Swat are far more tactical with rules of engagement and the likes to contend with. Its more "sim" than action. That's not to say Payday doesn't require tactics, but its much easier to wing it in Payday than Swat.
