'''Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy''' ([[September 8]], [[1892]] - [[December 5]], [[1963]]) was a politician from [[Bengal]] in undivided [[British Raj|India]], and later in [[East Pakistan]], who served as [[Prime Minister|Prime Minister of Pakistan]] from [[1956]] until [[1957]]. He is also known for his controversial role in the [[Direct Action Day]] of [[August 16]], [[1946]]. Following riots in [[Bengal]] during the last days of India's freedom struggle, he was considered a favourite of [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]]. He is also considered to be the first populist leader in Pakistan's history. He is the founder of the [[Awami League]], one of the two major political parties of present day's [[Bangladesh]].

==Early life==
Suhrawardy was born on 8 September, 1892 to a prominent Muslim family in the town of [[Midnapore]], now in [[West Bengal]]. He was the younger son of Justice Sir Zahid Suhrawardy, a prominent judge of the Calcutta High Court. In conformity with the elite Muslim tradition of [[India]], his family members spanned the entire subcontinent speaking [[Urdu]] and did not identify themselves as ethnic Bengali. But Suhrawardy learnt [[Bengali language|Bengali]] and chose to identify himself with the politics and society of Bengal.

==Education and marriage==

Suhrawardy completed his undergraduate studies at [[St. Xavier's College, Calcutta|St. Xavier's College]], and completed a masters degree at the [[University of Calcutta]]. Afterwards, he moved to the [[United Kingdom]] to attend [[Oxford University]] from where he obtained a BCL degree. On leaving Oxford, he was called to the bar at [[Gray's Inn]].

In 1920, Suhrawardy married Begum Niaz Fatima, daughter of [[Sir Abdur Rahim]], the then home minister of British India.

==Return to India==

Suhrawardy returned to the [[subcontinent]] in [[1921]] as a practicing barrister of the Calcutta High Court. He became involved in politics in [[Bengal]]. Initially, he joined the [[Swaraj Party]], a group within the [[Indian National Congress]], and became an ardent follower of [[Chittaranjan Das]]. He played a major role in signing the Bengal Pact in 1923.

Suhrawardy became the Deputy Mayor of the Calcutta Corporation at the age of 31 in 1924, and the Deputy Leader of the Swaraj Party in the Provincial Assembly. However, following the death of Chittaranjan Das in 1925, he began to disassociate himself with the Swaraj Party and eventually joined [[Muslim League]]. He served as Minister of Labour, and Minister of Civil Supplies under [[Khawaja Nazimuddin]] among other positions. In the Bengal Muslim League, Suhrawardy and [[Abul Hashim]] led a progressive line against the conservative stream led by Nazimuddin and [[Akram Khan (politician)|Akram Khan]].

In [[1946]], Suhrawardy established and headed a [[Muslim League]] government in Bengal. It was the only Muslim League government in India at that time.

==Direct Action Day==

Under Suhrawardy's direction, the Bengal Government declared August 16, 1946 to be a public holiday to celebrate the [[Direct Action Day]] called by Jinnah to protest against the Cabinet Mission plan for the independence of India.

Suhrawardy's government allegedly provided petroleum to Muslim League mobs who set fire to Bengali Hindus en masse to press their demand for Pakistan. The intensity of Direct Action Day was at its worst in the capital [[Calcutta]]. There was also a genocide of Bengali Hindus in the [[Direct Action Day#Noakhali massacre|Noakhali]] district. Suhrawardy was widely blamed for either orchestrating or not taking steps to prevent the carnage and for trying to suppress the news of the same from the media. The physical and emotional scars of Direct Action Day linger among millions of Bengalis even today.

==Independence==

In 1947, the balance of power in Bengal shifted from the [[Muslim League]] to the [[Indian National Congress]], and Suhrawardy stepped down from the Chief Ministership. Unlike other Muslim League stalwarts of India, he did not leave his hometown immediately for the newly established Pakistan. Anticipating revenge of Hindus against Muslims in [[Calcutta]] after the transfer of power, Suhrawardy sought help from [[Gandhi]]. Gandhi was persuaded to stay and pacify tempers in Calcutta, but he agreed to do so on the condition that Suhrawardy share the same roof with him so that they could appeal to Muslims and Hindus alike to live in peace. "Adversity makes strange bed-fellows," Gandhi remarked in his prayer meeting.

==Political life in East Pakistan==

Upon the formation of [[Pakistan]], Suhrawardy maintained his work in politics, continuing to focus on Bengal or [[East Pakistan]] as it became after independence from the British. In [[1949]] he formed the East Pakistan Awami Muslim League, which would develop into the [[Awami League]].

In the [[1950s]], Suhrawardy worked to consolidate political parties in East Pakistan to balance the politics of [[West Pakistan]]. Under [[Muhammad Ali Bogra]], Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy would serve as Law Minister and later become the head of opposition parties.

In 1956, he was made Prime Minister by [[President|President of Pakistan]] [[Iskander Mirza]] after the resignation of [[Chaudhry Muhammad Ali]]. Suhrawardy inherited a political schism that was forming in Pakistan between the Muslim League and newer parties, such as the [[Republican Party (Pakistan)|Republican party]]. The schism was fed by the attempt to consolidate the four provinces of [[West Pakistan]] into one province, so as to balance the fact that East Pakistan existed as only one province. The plan was opposed in West Pakistan, and the cause was taken up by the Muslim League and religious parties. Suhrawardy supported the plan, but the vast opposition to it stalled its progress.

In order to divert attention from the controversy over the "[[One Unit]]" plan as it was called, Suhrawardy tried to ease economic differences between East and West Pakistan. However, despite his intentions, these initiatives only led to more political frictions, and was worsened when Suhrawardy tried to give more financial allocations to East Pakistan than West Pakistan from aids and grants. Such moves led to a threat of dismissal looming over Suhrawardy's head, and he resigned in 1957.

In the foreign policy arena, he is considered to be one of the pioneers of Pakistan's pro-United States stand.

==Post-political life and death==
[[Image:Tomb Of Three Leader 3.A.M.R.jpg|thumb|right|Tomb of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy at Dhaka.]]
Disqualified from politics under the military regime of [[Ayub Khan]], Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy died in [[Lebanon]] in [[1963]]. His death was officially due to complications from heart problems, though some have alleged he was poisoned. After a befitting funeral attended by a huge crowd, he was buried at [[Suhrawardy Udyan]] in [[Dhaka]].

'''Vivendi Games''' (formerly known as '''Vivendi Universal Games''') is a global developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment. Vivendi Games is a 100% subsidiary of [[Vivendi SA]]. Headed by Bruce Hack, it is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and employs over 3,400 people at 4 separate development divisions:

Vivendi Games owns the rights to such franchises as [[Warcraft universe|Warcraft]], [[StarCraft]], [[Diablo (computer game)|Diablo]] and [[World of Warcraft]] as well as others like [[Crash Bandicoot series|Crash Bandicoot]], [[Spyro the Dragon (series)|Spyro]], [[Empire Earth (series)|Empire Earth]], [[Leisure Suit Larry]], [[Ground Control]] and [[Tribes (series)|Tribes]].

==History==

The history of Vivendi Games begins in February 1996, when a large mail order and subscription company called [[CUC International]] offered to acquired entertainment software developer [[Sierra On-Line]]. Headquarted in Bellevue, Washington, Sierra was the leading developer and publisher of computer games and was famous for its adventure game seires such as [[King's Quest]], [[Gabriel Knight]], [[Space Quest]], and [[Leisure Suit Larry]]. Sierra was a public company headed and founded by Ken Williams, who acted as CEO and Chairman. Sierra employed roughly 1,000 employees at 12 different acquired studios. CUC offered to absorb Sierra's stock shares at a price roughly 90% higher than what Sierra was trading, which left the decision in the hands of Sierra's shareholders, and on July 24th 1996, Sierra became a wholly owned subsidiary of CUC.

At the same time, CUC also approached [[Davidson & Associates]], the leading publisher and distributor of educational software, with an offer of a similar stock swap. Headquarted in Torrance, California, Davidson was famous for its [[Math Blaster]] series, and also for [[Warcraft]] and Diablo. While mainly a game publisher, Davidson also had a major in-house developer in the form of [[Blizzard Entertainment]], which Davidson had acquired in 1994, and employed over 800 employees as of February 1996.
Davidson was also a public company, founded and headed by [[Bob Davidson]], who acted as CEO, and also by [[Jan Davidson]], who acted as President.

After acquiring these companies, CUC quickly integrated these two new divisions into the main CUC organization by announcing in September 1996 the creation of [[CUC Software]], a holding company which would consolidate the finance, distribution, manufacturing, accounting, sales, R&D and overall management of CUC's software companies.

Soon after its creation, CUC Software acquired in January 1997 [[Knowledge Adventure]], a leading developer of educational software, famous for its [[Jumpstart]] series of child oriented programs. CUC also acquired [[Gryphon Software]], another educational software company. Davidson & Associates and Gryphon were then absorbed into Knowledge Adventure, and [[Blizzard Entertainment]] was made a separate division of CUC Software.
In 1997, [[CUC Software]] also acquired [[Berkely Systems]], a California based developer famous for its [[You Don't Know Jack!]] series, and integrated Berkely into Sierra On-Line.

In 2004, Vivendi Games sold one of its divisions, [[Knowledge Adventure]] to a group of private investors.

In 2005 Vivendi's revenues made 641 million euros with earnings from operations equaling to 41 million euros.

In 2006 Vivendi Games created a new mobile division '''Vivendi Games Mobile''', which was promised to begin publishing and distributing games in 2006 through mobile carriers and portals.

==Blizzard Entertainment==
[[Blizzard Entertainment]] is a world-renowned development studio best known for creating World of Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, and Warcraft. World of Warcraft , the world’s most popular game in the MMORPG category, has taken the gaming world by storm with over 9 million subscribers.

Headquarted in Irvine, California, Blizzard employs hundreds of developers, programmers and writers all dedicated to the creation of innovative, exciting games.

==Sierra Entertainment==

[[Sierra Entertainment]] creates and publishes software for consoles, handheld gaming devices and personal computers.

Sierra Entertainment features a portfolio of titles based on original intellectual property and popular licenses from industry-leading content partners, including F.E.A.R., Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon, Scarface, and Ice Age.

Operated out of Los Angeles, California, Sierra employs over 700 in development and has four wholly owned studios providing creative talents and development capabilities across multiple gaming genres:[[High Moon Studios]], [[Radical Entertainment]], [[Swordfish Studios]] and [[Massive Entertainment]].

==Sierra Online==

[[Sierra Online]], a newly created divsion, focuses on developing and publishing high quality short and mid-session casual online games for PC, Xbox Live Arcade and a range of other platforms.

Sierra Online’s titles include Assault Heroes, an award-winning game for Xbox Live Arcade, and the upcoming FreeStyle Street Basketball, an online PC game from leading Korean developer JC Entertainment, Inc.
