Re: Anyone else building in Glenmore Ridge?
Hi, I'm building my 1st home in Glenmore Ridge. Has anyone had a soil test completed yet? Ours come back as Highly Reactive Soil. I'm wanting to find out if anyone else building in the same area has had the same result. We're now getting H1 slab instead of M classification.
I have a friend living in Glenmore Ridge. He has been living there for last two years. He also had similar complains regarding soil. I think he changed the soil underneath.
We have a slab upgrade of $2500 and no extra site costs.
We do have to build a small retaining wall, but it will be minimal.
Drew - thanks for the info regarding the comply and development.
We have just gone through and decided all our colours for our appointment on Saturday. Hubby is away 4WDing with mates this weekend.
We did our colour selections on Saturday which was a smooth process.
I got a call from the lady that will be handling our paperwork until construction and she rang to tell me that they lodged our development application with Stockland. I was quite surprised about how fast they got this together. I just hope the pack for Penrith Council will be as fast.
Does anyone know how long Stockland are taking? Is there a way of tracking?
Great to hear Stockland is not going too slow.
Woodland Grey is not a bad choice and everyone has to have the same.
Hi All, thought i would pop back in to this thread and see how everyone's progressing. We have pulled out of our original block for a few reasons and have now paid $750 to Eden Brae to have a tender put together on Lot 210 which is on hold with Eden Brae. We are looking at building the Foxley 27 cnr design with a few alterations. Our tender appointment is on the 1st September and as this block is already registered (unlike the last one) the process will hopefully be much quicker. Eden brae are going to use comply and development 10 day turnaround for approval and have promised us to start soon after this approval and not have to wait for the current date which they are quoting which is a Feb next year start. So as long as the tender comes back at a price within our budget it will be all systems go.
Annette that is great news.. so does that mean that you will now be closer to us? Do you know what street you will be in. The Foxley is such a nice design! Keep us posted!!!!!
Yes Cass we will be closer to you. It's on Glenmore Ridge Drive. Right next door to someone elso who's on this site but i can't seem to find them. They are 209 and we are lot 210. I just hope that street won't be too busy a street as it links our area and the new area together. Will only be staying a year or so once built so shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Yes we liked the foxley on display at Gregory Hills but when we seen the alternative layout which gives us a huge walk in pantry (3.5mtrs long), bigger WIR in the main and also a WIR in bed 2 we were delighted. With a few changes, upgrades and extending the rear of the house all the way across it should be very suitable.
Well that wasn't too hard to find......It's Essilou on Lot 211 (not 209 like i thought).
So a big Hello to you Essilou, we will be your lovely new neighbours lol. Me (Annette), hubby (Pete) our awesome boys Mitch (20) and Jake (17) oh and our 2 dogs a boxer tyson and my poodle Max. That's us....all nice and friendly and looking forward to building our new home.
Annette that is Ess and Tim, who I met on the Park Opening. How exciting you know your neighbours - lucky because Ess and Tim were really nice!!!!!
I still have not met anyone in my street yet.
Ess how are things going, have you submitted to Stockland?
We have our kitchen appointment next week... another tick in the box.
It was a nice surprise reading your post! I was beginning to think we wouldn't find anyone on this blog that was building on our street. The foxley is a great home…..that was one of the homes we liked on our short list. I'm sure it will look great when everything is finished. You mentioned that you will only be there for a year or so though???? We look forward to meeting you all….what a shame we missed you at the opening of Jacaranda Park. We are nice and friendly too….just no kids or dogs YET! We are currently renting in the 1st stage of Glenmore Park so we won't be moving very far like yourself.
We signed our contracts and sent them back today. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly with Stockland and CD approval. Our plans don't require Penrith council approval which means thinks will start to happen quicker than first thought. Our stretch of Glenmore Ridge Drive is all systems go at the moment. The home to the left of our block is looking great and Fowler homes are following quickly behind on block 209 & 208.
Sounds like our lil' community is going to be filled with fantastic people……we can't wait to move in!
I am uttlerly confused with council approval. It seems that many are avoiding council approval for plans? Can someone please explain to me in really simple terms what this means... our builder is telling us we need to go through stockland and council.
Ess - yes your street is the fastest moving in the suburb! The houses going up are looking really good! Have you done all your colour and tile selections yet?
1. Final plans and external colours need to be submitted to I-scope, which is Stocklands design area, to make sure that what you are building is in line with their guidelines and will fit in with all the other homes in the area. Mine was in and out in 2 days. Your builder submits the plans online and uploads all the files.
2. Stockland issue an approval letter to say that they have looked at your colours and plans and that they approve them. They give this to the Builder.
Complying development is approved within 10 days but your house must conform to strict guidleines i.e standard setbacks, open areas within code, low bushfire impact - up to BAL 19 etc.
If it doesnt meet the criteria for complying development then they have submit a normal development application which can take up to 6 weeks for an approval.
Once approval is issued the plans are stamped and sent back to the builder. The builder requests the CC (construction certificate).
we pasted C and D!! colours done......... and now to the boring stuff, waiting for it to get started and finished.
I am hoping for some clear weather over the next 2 weeks so we can break soil.
Stockland is hosting a community event on Sunday 25th of September from 1 – 3pm in the recently opened Jacaranda Park.
There will be plenty of fun and entertainment organised on the day including Pizza making (and eating!) so we hope you can come and join us!
Each lot will also receive a picnic rug on arrival.
Bring a picnic, chairs, friends & family and enjoy free food and drink and kids entertainment.
We will also be giving residents a Development Update at 12:30pm.
If residents can 'check in' on arrival to receive their name tags and picnic rugs (and a good viewing spot for the band) this will be much appreciated.
Drew.. thanks heaps that is really clear now - thanks for explaining it to me. I am pretty good on understanding all the technical bits of building but this one had me confused.... now I can try and get Wisdom to look at the 10 day turn around one!
We will go to the Jazz in the park, the weather should be perfect by the end of September.
Its a weekend of birthdays this weekend my little one turns 4 this weekend but hope to do a bit of a drive by on Monday.
Stockland approved our development today. We are looking at 5 weeks in council due to being a double storey... so I don't think we will see any dirt turning until the end of Oct.
Hi everyone. We are very (VERY!) close to buying H&L package from McDonald Jones. Havana one with Balinese Resort package. We've been over and over whether to reno our current house (also G.Park), move to the Sutherland Shire (where I'm from) or buy a package in the Ridge. Have finally found the right package from McDonald Jones (quite literally, the only thing hubby and I have agreed on in the past few weeks).
So...am looking fwd to being neighbours with you all!!! Has anyone had any experience with MJH? Is there anything we should know before handing over our deposit?
It's just me (Georgie) and hubby (Rob), 4 stepkids (who are never here anyway, they are teenagers and have lives!) and our two gorgeous lick-you-to-death staffies.
We are looking at lot 801 which is a corner block on Tall Trees Dr and Sunset Terrace. Decent block (for Ridge standards) and will give us lots of room to extend our Grande Alfresco (I just like saying that!) area.
Welcome Georgie girl. We are on foothills terrace. The bush corridor end of the street. We hope you get your dream home and I look forward to hearing about your exciting build.
We had our kitchen appointment. We have kept it simple in the end. Some of the features we just too pricey. Still debating if it's worth $1600 for waterfall ends. So far we have spent an extra 2k we could have spent nearly 7k if we were willing.
The costs have to stop somewhere. We have electrical tomorrow.
Hi there Georgie! We are building the Havana One (Metro A facade) with MJH on Glenmore Ridge Drive Lot 211. How great is the design…..we've had such a wonderful experience with MJH so far. The entire team are so professional and friendly. Have you been to the newly opened Havana @ Jordan Springs? It's beautiful.. I actually wish we could of seen it before we chose all our colours…..too late! We've signed our contracts and received approval from Stockland last Friday YAY We're approx. 5 weeks away from commencing construction of our dream home!!!! We're hoping to go to the community event on 25 Sept so hopefully we'll meet u and the rest of our neighbours there.

Box Office: Golmaal Again lifetime business expected to be between Rs. 199-202 cr.
Golmaal Again has been on a roll at the box office since its release. Directed by Rohit Shetty the fourth instalment in the Golmaal franchise which sees the return of the gang of boys from the earlier films viz. Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kunal Khemmu and Shreyas Talpade also features Tabu and Parineeti Chopra joining the cast. After receiving positive reviews from critics the film was welcomed by the audience with open arms.
Thanks to this thunderous response from the audience Golmaal Again that drew in a staggering Rs. 30+ cr. on its opening day ended its opening weekend with a total collection of Rs. 87.60 cr. Continuing its money spinning run on its first Monday though the collections of the film saw a 50% drop from its Sunday collections Golmaal Again still managed to draw in Rs. 16.04 cr. At the close of its second week in theatres the film has managed to collect Rs. 182.92 cr. at the domestic box office.
While the film which initially released across 3500+ screens in the domestic market has continued to maintain a steady collection rate at the box office the overall business of Golmaal Again has seen a gradual decline in collections on weekdays. Given this usual trend of a lowered rate of box office earning as the days progress Golmaal Again is expected to draw in a further Rs. 12-13 cr. in its third week and approximately another Rs. 5 to 6 cr. in the following weeks it runs for.
However, with this gradual decrease in collections and the fact that the film will in all likelihood face competition coming in from newer releases in the subsequent weeks ahead, Golmaal Again is expected to close business at around Rs. 199-202 cr.
Week 1 – Rs. 136.07 cr.
Week 2 – Rs. 46.85 cr.

A Crowning Glory
by Jerre Wroble
[image-1] City Weekly founder John Saltas, all suited up, looked like a man with a plan as he strode into the Zions Bank Building on July 10 for the Downtown Merchants Association annual luncheon. He was to be honored as a "Friend of the Retailer" for his efforts to launch City Weekly 25 years ago and his support of the merchant community.
Looking out at the panoramic view of downtown from the 18th floor at South Temple and Main, noticing how much of the surrounding area was in upheaval and rebuild, it's obvious downtown merchants are, at their core, resoundingly hard-boiled. For them to have survived the construction merry-go-round that is their endless lot in life, just showing up says a lot.
Yet, despite their travails, merchants were all smiles as Carlton Christensen stood in for Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker (who, we were told, was busy squiring a potential business client around town) ticking off the city's interest in better managing downtown parking, increasing bike lanes, helping create affordable housing for service-industry workers, expanding light rail and carving out an entertainment district ... all promises to give downtown merchants hope until the dust settles and people return to downtown.
But, it's clear the best hope for downtown does not come from municipal happy talk and bureaucratic pipe dreams. It arrived July 1 courtesy of the state Legislature in the form of liberalized liquor laws. Perhaps that's why the Downtown Merchants honored Saltas this year. Because, while he's certainly been a friend to retailers, he's been an even better friend to private clubs. And a friend of the private clubs is now most definitely a friend of theirs.
And while the group couldn't come out and say, "Hot damn!"about the changes in the alcohol laws, it did impart its excitement in subtle and symbolic ways: For example, the group bestowed upon Saltas a bottle of Crown Royal whisky along with a crystal ice bucket. He was quick to point out his might be the first bottle of Crown to have made its way into the Zions Bank Founders Room.
Adding to the understated alcohol salute, in the shadow of the Salt Lake Mormon temple across the street, guest speaker KUTV's Rod Decker, donned his "folksy historian" hat to regale the group with a brief history of Utah's tumultuous love/hate relationship with booze, peppering his tale with bit of swearing and colorful political yarns.
All in all, it was a shindig that [image-2] City Weekly could totally get behind. Thanks, Downtown Merchants. Here's looking at you. [image-3]

To display only approved entities, you'll add a new finder, then a getter that uses it in your service layer. The new methods will serve the purpose of getting only entities with the proper workflow status. Then you can display only those entities in the portlet's search container. Service Builder makes this easy.
The getter methods used are those responsible for populating the Search Container. They need to include the workflow status as an additional parameter.
Since there's nowhere in the portlet where an Entry's workflow status should be ignored, it's a best practice to replace the current getters with appropriate ones.
As you'd expect, the calls to getEntries and getEntriesCount now call the updated methods you created in the local service implementation, so that the search container is only populated with approved entries.
The Entry entity is now fully enabled for workflow. Do the same thing for Guestbooks next.
This call doesn't yet account for the workflow status of the Guestbooks.
Run Service Builder. Leave the other getter methods alone, even though they don't account for workflow status. The Guestbook Admin portlet should display all of a site's Guestbooks, regardless of workflow status, and these getters are used to populate its search container. What you will do later is add a column to the Guestbook Admin portlet's Search Container to display guestbooks' statuses.
All you did here was add the parameter that marks a Guestbook as approved in the workflow.
Now both entities are enabled for workflow, and the Guestbook portlet's view layer is modified accordingly. But what about the Guestbook Admin Portlet that's accessed through the portal's Site Administration section? What should the strategy be there?
The Guestbook Admin portlet currently displays the Guestbooks for a site in a Search Container, which is how all of Liferay's portlets work. Like those portlets, you should include the workflow status as a column in the Search Container.
Figure 1: The Message Boards Admin portlet displays the workflow status of its entities.
<aui:workflow-status showIcon="<%= false %>" showLabel="<%= false %>"
You've added a new <liferay-ui:search-container-column-text> tag, defining a Status column. The <aui:workflow-status> tag makes it easy to convert the int value of guestbook.getStatus() into a String representing the status label value (e.g., the int 02 becomes Pending). It's displayed with some styling that matches that of Liferay's core portlets.
Note that you didn't change the getter method for one that only returns Guestbooks marked as approved in the workflow. In the Guestbook Admin Portlet, you're allowing all Guestbooks to be displayed with their workflow status.
To test that workflow is working properly for both entities, log in to the portal and go to Admin → Control Panel → Configuration → Workflow. Click on Default Configuration and select Single Approver for both Entry and Guestbook.
Figure 2: Enable workflow for entities in the Control Panel.
When workflow is disabled in the Control Panel, the status of the entities is automatically set as approved, and they appear as soon as they are added, just like before you enabled them for workflow.
In the Guestbook Admin Portlet, the Status field is always displayed, even when workflow is disabled. You'll just see that added Guestbooks are always marked as Approved, with no review necessary and no workflow notifications sent.
Figure 3: The Guestbook Admin portlet now displays the workflow status of each Guestbook in the site.
Your Guestbook Application now supports workflow!


I was traveling over the holidays and one early morning in the airport I noticed a young boy, probably 8 or 9 years old.
He had spiked hair and wore an untucked yet pressed white button down shirt, a down jacket and jeans with leather boots. The man next to him, looking at his phone, was dressed identically. And his hair was sticking up all over too.
They looked adorable, father and son, waiting at the United counter. The father's eyes were glued to his phone as he scrolled, and scrolled and scrolled. The son was moving about, doing his thing, dancing to his own rhythm that only a young boy can have at 6am before boarding a cross-country flight.
The boy flitted between his mother, who was talking to the ticketing agent, and his father. In one of his passes he stood on his tippy toes and kissed his father's hand.
The hand holding the phone. The father didn't look at his son. Didn't look up from the phone. Didn't acknowledge the kiss.
He kept scrolling. I hope that's a really urgent email he's reading, I thought. I hope it's from his boss, or the press agency he works for.
Or his mother. I hope-- really, really hope -- it's not Facebook.
The son danced away, and danced back, planting another kiss on his father's hand. Not even a flinch or a flicker of a response.
My heart hurt for this young man. Reaching out so lovingly and sweetly to his father, only to be ignored. There was something familiar in the scene before me that poked a tiny jab in the center of my chest.
Perhaps my own little girl self was reliving a moment many years ago when I'd danced around and sought my father's love only to be rebuffed.
I recalled a passage I read the week before about relationship transactions based on the work of Dr. John Gottman who writes, "a husband and wife are continually making bids for each other's attention—introducing a conversation topic, implicitly asking a favor, etc.—and the most successful couples are the ones who continually 'turn toward' their partners." In essence, saying "yes" to each other's requests for attention. I would imagine the same is true for children. And here I was witnessing a request for attention in a very small way, being rebuffed, or at the very least, ignored.
How often to do we miss these small ways in which others make requests for love, for acknowledgement, for being noticed. This was clearly one of those moments. And I seemed to be the only person on the planet witnessing it.
I coach leaders for a living. And a lot of those leaders are men. With children. And they were, themselves, children. I was intrigued by this interaction for two reasons: the story I can use to illustrate the importance of valuing those brief almost imperceptible moments when their child, or wife, employee or client is making a request. Reminding them to be present, pay attention, read the signs. To notice and acknowledge the need that another person has to be seen, to be heard, to be acknowledged.
And secondly I was intrigued because those I coach were once children, like this young boy, dancing to the beat of their own drum, flitting from parent to parent, making contact, pulling away, finding their place, their grounding. Learning when they can be vulnerable, what is acceptable, where the boundaries are. And facing hard lessons of what actions and behaviors elicit a loving response and what leads to rejection, reproach, withdrawal.
These are etched in our psyche, typically before the age of ten. Just the age I was witnessing in front of me now. The little brain grooves and patterns being formed before my eyes.
I wondered how many kisses had this young man given in hopes of a response? And what was this doing to him to not be seen or responded to? And what is the price everyone will pay down the line? Himself for shutting down, resentment towards his preoccupied father, the inability to be emotionally available in future relationships.
You may think I exaggerate, and of course I am observing but one of many interactions (perhaps there was a meltdown in the car, maybe the man is searching for a flight because they missed a connection?). I do know from experience these small interactions can hold lifetimes of pain. And the unravelling of them can be the unleashing of lifetimes of healing.
Our actions matter. How we relate to our children and the people around us in the smallest of ways matters.
So please. Put down the phone. Hug your kid. Respond.
And then come tell me what you learned.

The German Evangelical Reform Church was formally organized in October 1865. The parsonage, next door, was built in 1888, to fill the need for a residence for visiting ministers and later, a permanent minister. The land was purchased from Ann Twidney on August 13, 1888, for $51.00 for the .51 acre lot. The last official service in the church was the funeral for William Burger in 1942, who had served many years as Sunday School Superintendent.
The Betzenheimer family lived at the parsonage house all their lives, until Sis Betzenheimer/McKillips moved out around 2010. After returning to the island in the 1940's, Sis carried on the tradition of care and preservation of the Old Stone Church. Because of that commitment, she was granted life use of the house. That adds up to almost 90 years of Betzenheimer residency. The house consists of seven rooms; three bedrooms up and one down, living room, dining room, kitchen, cellar and porch. Truly amazing - it has a cistern to collect water but no plumbing. The kitchen sink has a hand pump and there is an outhouse in the rear of the church.

In 2017 the Historical Assoc. set up a resale shop in the house, and for the first time, opened it up to visitors. This has proven very popular with visitors as they can score some great bargains and see what the house looks like, including that hand pump in the kitchen.
Here are some photos from when we opened in August 2017 - but - most of these items are gone already. We welcome donations (no textiles or cloth items though) and we encourage you to visit often, as items rarely last a week before they are sold.
The Resale shop is generally open when the museum is open, however, we can arrange for someone to meet you if you want to visit during our closed hours. Please call Jodie at 419-350-1082 or email us at KImuseum@msn.com.
HURRY - items truly do fly off the shelves!
1. Call one of the names on the sign and we will meet you there to go through your things. We CANNOT accept everything, and WE have to pay to have them hauled away.
2. Please no large, old electronic items (TVs, VCR, computers etc).
3. CLEAN items before you bring them. We have no running water.

When a Celebrity Dies the Nation Mourns, But When a Baby Dies From Abortion…
National | Steven Ertelt | Jul 6, 2009 | 9:00AM | WASHINGTON, DC
by Tom Glessner
LifeNews.com Note: Tom Glessner is a pro-life attorney who is the president of NIFLA, the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates. NIFLA is an organization that provides legal, medical and practical help for pregnancy centers across the country.
Recently the nation has seen a wave of deaths of celebrities — Ed McMann, Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett and Billy Mays. Very few people in the general public had personal relationships with these departed public icons. Yet, the intensity level of mourning that the nation has exhibited upon the news of these deaths shows that millions of people identified with these celebrities in a very personal way.
The public mourning for the death of Michael Jackson has been particularly intense. For several days after his death the news concentrated on both the details of his death and of his life. His music was replayed on both television and radio broadcasts and video images of him dancing to his music were shown over and over again to a grieving public. Likewise, the deaths of Farah Fawcett, Ed McMann and Billy Mays brought forth many special broadcasts on television to commemorate their lives.
Indeed, when a cultural icon passes away we all feel sadness. We all feel that even a part of our lives has also died, and the grieving families of these celebrities should be recipients of our prayers and compassion.
If we contrast, however, the public show of grief to these celebrity deaths with the public response to the deaths of 3,300 unborn children that occur from abortion every day we will have to make a disturbing observation about our nation.
It appears that when a celebrity dies the entire nation mourns but when 50 million unborn children die the nation pretends it didn't happen.
Abortion has since 1973 taken the lives of over 50 million unborn children. Abortion today takes the lives of 1.3 million unborn children every year. 3,300 every day. One every 25 seconds.
Where is the public mourning for these lives?
Each life taken by abortion was a unique person made in the image of God. Abortion has destroyed the lives of future doctors, lawyers, artists, authors, missionaries and others who could have contributed greatly to the quality of life we all enjoy.
Abortion has not only taken the lives of 50 million children but also ends the generational lines that would have followed such children had they been allowed to live. Millions of human beings who would have loved and been loved and provided so much joy and fulfillment to others will never exist because of abortion.
As a nation we mourn the passing of celebrities whom most of us did not know personally. But we ignore the deaths of millions because the manner in which they died is a topic that is not politically correct to bring up in social circles.
I suspect that the topic of abortion is to most Americans an uncomfortable topic that one does not enjoy discussing. Certainly, the passion of people on both sides of this issue makes for stress at your everyday dinner party. Yet, continued silence about this issue will not hide the fact that innocent lives are being taken every day.
Who is to mourn for the lives of the innocent taken by abortion everyday?
Until true public awareness of abortion and its ramifications is achieved then there will be no mourning for the deaths of these little ones. Only continued public silence will ensue.
Let us work for an America where this public silence is ended and is replaced by an outcry that will usher in a time period where every human life, born and unborn, is respected and the death of every person, whether a celebrity or an unborn baby, is mourned.

Alright. So how do we teach by using the power of questions?
Ever since I started talking about the Columbus Principle, some of you have been asking, and that's exactly what we're going to talk about in today's video.
Well, if you've ever thought that, that's what we're going to talk about in this video.


I have just bought a Toshiba HX-22 - mainly because I was hoping to be able to use the built-in RS232C interface. Unfortunately the "Word Processor and Extended Basic Manual" was not included and so I have no idea what extended RS232C commands are available - if anyone can supply a list of them (or has a copy of the manual for sale) I would be very grateful.
I'm afraid there are different instruction sets, but until you find the one that you're looking for, perhaps you could try to have a look at the SVI RS-232 manual.


There are several different uses for certified translations that you might have depending on the type of translation that you need and more. Certified translations are important for ensuring the accuracy and the quality of important documents that require them, and when you spend the time needed to get certified translations.
A certified translation is often necessary when you need the assurance that the translation is complete and accurate, and there are several situations where you might find that you need one such as translations for USCIS purposes (getting a work or visitor's visa or other types of visas), academic institutions, federal and state agencies, for legal purposes and much more. This article will detail some of the most popular uses of certified translations.
As previously mentioned, certified translations are often used by the USCIS for visa applications and other types of applications. These applications are often very long and drawn out, and as a result any type of delay during the application can prove to be quite detrimental.
To ensure that your application is properly processed, you should be sure to get any important translations or required translations certified. This will ensure that your application is processed in a timely manner and that it is sent to the appropriate people in the time that you need. Just one hiccup in the process can prove to be quite detrimental, and it will end up causing a major delay with your application in many cases.
The reason why certified translations are so important is the fact that they are crucial for document validity. Any application or important document that does not have the appropriate certified translation completed will not pass the scrutiny of government agencies.
These agencies are always on the lookout for fraudulent documents, which are quite common, and as a result they have very strict requirements. Before anyone applies for a visa or a similar document, they should double check to ensure that their application has all of the details needed, including certified translations when they are requested. Applications that miss this important step may end up being considered invalid due to the extensive requirements of government agencies.
A certified translation can significantly speed up the processing of your document application and ensure that it has everything that you need. When they are properly performed, certified translations give an application or document much more credibility, and they very often speed up the application or at least ensure that the document is used in a timely manner no matter what the purpose is.
Certified translations must also be performed by an accredited company that can manage the requirements, and they must be completed by a translator with the experience to be able to do them as needed. When you are looking for a certified translation, be sure to contact Inlingua Utah today for more information about our certified translation services and how they can benefit you.

News Roundup February 12th

Layoffs hit Activision Blizzard, Nintendo hosting a Direct presentation tomorrow, open beta for Tom Clancy's The Division 2 starting at the beginning of March, free weekend for Rainbow Six Siege, Total War: Three Kingdoms delayed, short-film for Anthem debuting on Thursday, and new releases for the week.
Even the King needs to make sacrifices
For a company like Blizzard Activision with games under its belt like World of Warcraft, Overwatch, and Call of Duty, you'd think everything would be secure over there. However, that does not appear to be the case.
While things are FAR from dire, 2018 didn't quite hit expectations. This was evident during the Activision-Bungie split as expectations were not met across the board for Blizzard Activision. Rumors of lay-offs last week were reported and during a conference call today, those layoffs were official.
Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick stated during an earnings call that despite the company achieving record results in 2018, targets were not hit and thus projections for 2019 are being lowered. This also sees the company consolidating and restructuring as a result.
Kotaku obtained a copy of the letter that Blizzard President Allen Brack sent to staff today. "Over the last few years, many of our non-development teams expanded to support various needs," Brack states. "Currently staffing levels on some teams are out of proportion with our current release slate. This means we need to scale down some areas of our organization. I'm sorry to share that we will be parting ways with some of our colleagues in the U.S. today. In our regional offices, we anticipate similar evaluations, subject to local requirements."
The report on Kotaku does go on to state that the effected members will receive a "comprehensive severance package", job placement assistance, career coaching, profit-sharing bonuses from the previous year, and continued health coverage. Activision Blizzard seems to care a lot more about the lost employees than Telltale did last year.
As far as the number of staff laid off, it is only said to be eight percent. But when you factor in that Activision Blizzard had about 9,600 employees, that estimates to around 800 people without a job after today. Kotaku reports that sources have told them that layoffs have affected Activision publishing, Blizzard, King, and some of Activision's own studios including High Noon.
If the game industry is strong for one thing, it is coming together when times are bad. Gearbox and Relic Entertainment have announced that positions are available. Richard Oud, lead animator at Guerilla Games, and David Ellis of 343 also stated that their respective companies are hiring.
It is hard to imagine that a company of Activision Blizzard's size had to resort to layoffs. The earning report itself shows that the company is not struggling to make a buck, but this is a publicly traded stock. With the outcry on Diablo Immortal, Destiny 2 falling under expectations and then gone from the portfolio, what will 2019 have in store for Activision Blizzard?
More promising pastures
The first Nintendo Direct of 2019 is debuting tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. E.T./ 2:00 p.m. PT. Nintendo will be discussing upcoming Switch releases, including new information on Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Expect the video presentation to be around 35 minutes and lets hope Nintendo throws in a surprise or two.
Tune in 2/13 at 2pm PT for a Nintendo Direct featuring around 35 minutes of information on upcoming #NintendoSwitch titles, including new details on #FireEmblem Three Houses!https://t.co/d1Xx3bUMG0 pic.twitter.com/dExyWiigBr
— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) February 12, 2019
Not too surprising, Ubisoft will be hosting an open beta for Tom Clancy's The Division 2 starting on March 1st and running through March 4th. It seems likely this will be the same content offered in the private beta so those who have previously tried out The Division 2 might not find anything new here.
Working on the (free) weekend
Speaking of Ubisoft, Rainbow Six Siege is having a free weekend starting on Valentine's Day, February 14th. The free play will then end on the 17th if you're on PC and the 18th for PS4 and Xbox One players. This might be a good chance to jump in and give it a shot if you have not done so already.
Just a little bit more
Originally scheduled to launch on March 7th, Total War: Three Kingdoms is moving its release date just a little bit. Creative Assembly is taking some more time to make sure things are right and will be releasing on May 23rd on PC.
Imagine what a big budget film would be like
Anthem is quickly approaching and what better way to build the hype than a short-film based on the game? Neill Blomkamp, director of movies such as District 9 and Elysium, is bringing his own take of Anthem with Conviction, a story set decades before the events told in the game.
The short-film debuts this Thursday on the Oats Studios' YouTube channel. It might be worth checking out some of the other short-films on the channel such as the ADAM series.

FAMU AD Gosha promotes fundraising, urgency for facility upgrades to BOT
Rory Sharrock
A continued level of heightened transparency, aggressive fundraising, corporate sponsorship deals and wholesale upgrades for facilities were the primary topics of discussion for Florida A&M athletics during a special committee meeting with the Board of Trustees on Wednesday inside the Grand Ballroom.
FAMU Vice President/Director of Athletics Kortne Gosha formally introduced his five-person staff of top officials. This group includes Keith McCluney (Deputy Director of Athletics/Chief of Staff), Karai Lockley (Senior Associate AD for Business and Finance/SWA), Ron Reeves (Associate AD for Revenue Generation), Michelle Harper (Associate AD for Academic Advising/Student-Athlete Welfare and Competitive Excellence) and Kentrell Kearney (Associate AD for Compliance and Diversity).
These team members all have vast experience working in collegiate athletics. They also have no educational and personal ties to FAMU.
In the past, there was a strong element of nepotism within the department. Athletic leadership was heavily criticized for hiring workers with little-to-no background in their respective roles. They were either alumnus or had close connections to influential Rattlers.
Gosha then led a 20-minute presentation with a 30-page slideshow. The detailed digital literature listed information on the current state of affairs along with his short-term and long-term plans.
"I'm excited to share our strategic vision and pathway to move our department forward," Gosha said following the BOT meeting."
"The only way we're going to do it is to be transparent and honest about who we are and where we are. We talked about the metrics and challenges from a governance perspective. We have institutional rules, but there are also NCAA rules and regulations. The constituents on campus need to know they have to work together and not separate from one another."
Gosha confirmed the projected athletics budget is expected to hit an estimated surplus of $48,000 by the close of the fiscal year in June. This boost won't offset the scheduled elimination of the men's tennis and men's cross country programs on June 30.
FAMU's AD revisited the chief fundraising initiative – the Rattler Athletic Fund.
He informed the trustee members this campaign is as the umbrella under which all giving to athletics will occur. It's created to increase donor support beyond annual scholarships and ticket purchases such as Investing in Champions.

FAMU athletics played its promotional video for the Rattler Athletic Fund. The footage features student-athletes discussing the impact of FAMU on their lives. They also encourage donors to maintain their support of athletic programs.
Perhaps the most poignant aspect of Gosha's presentation dealt with facilities and specifically, Bragg Memorial Stadium.
Before coming to FAMU, Gosha worked as the Associate Athletic Director for Facilities & Operations at the University of Miami. He was responsible for the day-to-day facility operations, grounds, custodial, information technology, access control and capital projects.
This experience makes him well-versed in identifying problems and creating solutions to fix the problems for FAMU's outdated football stadium. The installation of field turf in 2018 marked the first revisions to the stadium since 1983.
Gosha's slideshow had photos with info regarding the recently-constructed football stadiums at Prairie View A&M and Alabama State. The next slide featured an image of Bragg Memorial Stadium.
He highlighted these fellow FCS and HBCUs have similar financial challenges as FAMU. However, there was a strong collaboration between the university and athletic officials to build these facilities.
These venues are smaller in terms of capacity to Bragg. But they are aesthetically-pleasing to lure recruits. They also have the technological set-up to conduct 21st-century football operations.
"When you talk about recruiting students and putting your institution on a higher profile, facilities are your No. 1 recruiting tool. You get one shot to make a first impression. When students come on our campus and athletic corridor, we have a condemned pool and very dated football stadium. That's not a great first impression," Gosha said.
"Most universities, when you mention their name, what comes to mind. When you think of "The U", you think of Miami football. When you think of the Florida State Seminoles, you think of their athletic programs. When you think of Alabama, you think of football. Facilities are grossly important."
Gosha's vision is for facilities goes beyond games. He wants these spaces to be an extension of the classroom.
This would cover areas of science for the horticultural aspect of stadium upkeep, engineering for infrastructure, health care for nursing/physical therapy majors along with media productions for journalism students.
Football head coach Willie Simmons also attended the meeting. Simmons didn't speak during the session. However, BOT Chairman Kelvin Lawson acknowledged his presence.
Simmons praised the strong push by Gosha to revise the cultural and financial foundation of the department. He knows immediate changes are necessary to sustain a winning environment in the modern climate of collegiate athletics.
"When you have effective leadership with a goal and a vision, it makes you feel a lot better," Simmons said.
"To see the plan set by Kortne Gosha and his staff with highlighted bullet points puts us at ease. We know the challenges ahead of us. But knowing we have strong leadership and a committed team makes us feel like brighter days are ahead for FAMU."
Lawson grasped the plans set forth by Gosha. However, he stated the trustees need to examine each area in separate sessions.
The BOT will address these matters in phases. The fieldhouse is first on the list with revisions set for the summer.
Currently, there is no timetable if they will approve the construction of a new football stadium or revisions for Bragg.
"We have to take these things in phases. The first phase is to get the financial house in order around the funding the base programs. Once we create a sustainable model, we can look toward infrastructure," Lawson said.
"The fieldhouse is first. Secondarily, will be the stadium. For the fieldhouse, we're starting some work over the summer. We'll have to circle back with a date certain for the stadium. There are more dollars for the stadium which we don't have today. There's money in hand for the fieldhouse. We're raising more money for the roof and lockers for next football season."

Orphans Of So-Called Islamic State Left In Libyan Limbo
July 30, 2018 IRIN 0 Comments
By IRIN
By Tom Westcott*
A year and a half after so-called Islamic State was kicked out of its last stronghold in Libya, 24 parentless children of its foreign fighters are growing up in a high-security, makeshift orphanage tucked away down a sidestreet in the northwestern city of Misrata.
They are the last of 155 children brought out of Sirte in late 2016 after many of their parents were killed in a six-month battle to liberate the northern coastal city from IS.
Most have since been repatriated, released to extended family members, or reunited with female relatives incarcerated in a prison in Misrata, some 275 kilometres northwest of Sirte. But Najeeb al-Raiss, head of the Misrata branch of the Red Crescent, said the governments of the remaining children's parents – Tunisia, Egypt, Senegal, Nigeria, and Ghana – have shown no interest in repatriating their young citizens.
So they remain in a walled-off orphanage guarded by a local militia, cared for by an organisation that never expected to look after them for more than a few months. Raiss said the local Red Crescent has spent more than half a million dinars ($350,000) on medical treatment and basic care for the orphans and is running out of money.
"The government, the international community, and [aid] organisations all deluded us," said Raiss, who began caring for the children on what was meant to be a temporary basis in late 2016. "[International organisations] all talked about humanity, charity, and amnesty and promised lots of help, but it was just words. Nobody stuck to their promises and now we are alone."
Life in a high-security orphanage
Misrata makes an odd refuge for children of IS members: forces from Libya's third largest city led the fight against the militants in Sirte, and many lost their lives. The Red Crescent is worried about revenge attacks from locals as well as IS sleeper cells who might take an interest in the children, so they've put up high walls and employ a small local militia for round-the-clock security.
"Our city paid a very high price for liberating Sirte, and there is a chance that someone crazy could try to do something bad to these children," Raiss told IRIN. "It's not likely, but we have to be alert to that threat."
The walls are high enough that the children can play in a small courtyard – half sand, half astroturf – without being seen from neighbouring houses. The outer gate and main living areas are locked.
The Red Crescent employs a nanny and a tutor in lieu of formal schooling and, on the rare occasions the children leave the orphanage, the road is sealed off before they are ushered onto a bus, under guard.
In the early evening, the orphans' high-pitched recitations of Quranic verse can just be heard in the courtyard, before the older children carry large cooking pots of macaroni into their small living area. There are only three bedrooms, and everything here is modest. Donated clothes are often outsized, trousers tied with string, furnishings are sparse, and they have few toys.
The staff appear to have strong relationships with the children, but the locked doors and its small size mean this home sometimes resembles a prison. One little girl grasped the hand of a departing visitor, pleading: "Please take me with you."
But Raiss said this is still the best and safest option for the orphans, the youngest of whom was carried out from the rubble of Sirte when she was just two days old, and has known no other home. The oldest is 14.
"These children are a big responsibility, and we do as much as we can for them," said Raiss. "We know it's not much, but we do our best."
Unwanted and forgotten
The children first came into the Red Crescent's care traumatised and withdrawn, recalled Dr. Faisal Mohammed Jelwal, a psychologist who volunteers at the orphanage. Many did not speak for months, others refused to eat and drink.
Once they began talking, Red Crescent volunteers, with the help of the imprisoned widows of IS fighters, were able to build a database of their names and nationalities.
They were helped by the fact that all IS families were hunkered down together in the final months of the battle for Sirte, contravening the group's practice of separating families by the social standings of their husbands.
"They knew each other very well in the end, so we've been able to identify names and nationalities of all the children, even the babies," explained Jelwal.
Some children were reunited with female relatives in Misrata prison, while any Libyan children were released to extended family members. According to the Libyan Red Crescent, only 27 IS-affiliated women and children – from the Philippines and Sudan – have been repatriated by their governments since 2016.
Taher al-Baher, head of the technical department of the Misrata charity Alemdad, which initially worked with the Red Crescent to care for the children and works closely with the UN on multiple projects, told IRIN that earlier this year 21 Somali, Eritrean, and Djiboutian women and children were taken to Canada as part of UN-funded evacuation programmes. He said one woman was taken to Germany. The UN's refugee agency, UNHCR, did not respond to IRIN's requests for comment on the resettlements.
Raiss and Jelwal said the remaining orphans' home countries – 21 of them are from Tunisia and Egypt – have expressed no interest in taking them back.
"We've tried to contact all international humanitarian agencies and tried to keep the pressure up on relevant governments – both [on] the Libyan government and these orphans' home governments, to get them to take them back to their own homes and preferably family members," Jelwal said. "Unfortunately, we've received no responses."
A spokesperson from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) told IRIN it "has been "working on restoring family links with… [the children's] families, with the aim of eventually facilitating their repatriation."
Injured and traumatised
While the Red Crescent hopes to eventually send the children home, for now it provides much-needed medical and mental healthcare.
Food and drinking water were scarce in the final months of the battle for Sirte, and those who escaped were severely malnourished. Some children still bear the scars from injuries they sustained, including gunshot and shrapnel wounds: the arm of one three-year-old had to be amputated, while another little girl has extensive burn marks across her face and neck.
Jelwal said the psychological damage was just as serious. It took about four months for the children to begin exploring the orphanage or to ask after their parents and family members. The younger children have regained some sense of normalcy and talk to the orphanage's occasional visitors – they mostly ask for toy cars – but the older ones are uncommunicative and withdrawn.
The trauma is not surprising given the horrors many of these children have seen. Major General Mohamed al-Ghossri, former spokesman of the Libyan forces who fought in Sirte, told IRIN that 15 women detonated suicide vests in the civilian corridors that the children used to flee.
Two of the children currently housed in the orphanage ran away in terror after watching their father pour petrol over their mother and her sister and set them alight – an apparent effort to protect them from arrest by the advancing military.
Part of Jelwal's work is countering IS ideology, although not all the kids know their parents were a part of the group.
"The younger ones don't realise their parents were with IS and don't understand everything that happened. But some of the children, mostly aged seven or older, perhaps understand their parents were with IS," he said.
Little help…and what future?
While Jelwal volunteers his time, taking care of the children has been expensive. Heavily reliant on private donations, the Libyan Red Crescent is struggling financially.
Raiss was frustrated. He described support from the UN and major aid agencies as "disappointing", limited to modest funds from the ICRC and beds donated by the UN's migration agency, IOM.
"We hear in the media about many huge humanitarian organisations working all over the world, but here we have seen no humanity from the international community," Raiss said. "Most of these organisations have only visited these children to take photos and collect information. But [they have] not given any concrete help."
An ICRC spokesperson told IRIN it had sent a local team to do renovations on the orphanage, and provided toothbrushes, soap, and other hygienic goods.
Jelwal singled out UNICEF for providing no assistance at all, but the UN agency's regional spokeswoman Juliette Touma told IRIN: "UNICEF has provided some recreational assistance to the children in this orphanage. UNICEF continues to advocate with local authorities for the release of children affiliated with armed conflict and the reunification of these children with their extended families."
While one Senegalese girl may soon be sent home to her grandparents, the rest of the children are likely to remain in this small Misrata compound for the foreseeable future. It's not clear how the local Red Crescent will cope.
"Every day the children are getting older and bigger and need more space," said Jelwal, stressing that – whatever role their parents might have had during IS rule in Sirte – the orphans themselves were blameless.
"The plight of these children is a consequence of war," he said. "They had no part in IS or the war. They are victims who have been left very vulnerable. The world should care about them."

Collagen for Sex drive, vaginal health, intestinal health, urinary tract & liver:
Sex drive: The amino acid Phenylalanine is converted into phenylethylamine (PEA) in the body (Nootriment). This is considered a natural "love drug" and is associated with infatuation, sexual desire and the sex drive.
Vaginally: according to the National Institute on Aging, during the menopausal transition collagen under skin (fatty tissue and protein) is lost in the vaginal area, leading to dryness and a greater risk of tearing and infection.
Type III collagen, a by-product of type I, makes up a good part (84%) of the arcus tendinious fasciae pelvis (ATFP), which in turn supports the vagina. Without adequate collagen post menopausal women are likely to experience a loss of tensile strength in the and are at risk of developing a prolapsed anterior vaginal wall (Moalli, et al., 2004).
Arginine or L-arginine helps with blood circulation. It is in this way that Arginine improves the male sex drive (Axe, 2015). Arginine also helps in the release of nitric oxide into the blood, this relaxes blood vessel walls and improves circulation and improves the elasticity of the arteries, these effects can lead to lower blood pressure. Over time, Arginine helps with erections, potency, stamina and sexual performance (Williams, Abumrad, & Barbul,2002).
Intestinal health: Historically gelatin has been used to treat colitis, dysentery, celiac disease, ulcers and other digestive problems (Peat, 2006).
Collagen is helpful with leaky gut syndrome, (when undigested food particles, bacteria and toxins leak through the intestinal wall). People with inflamed or irritable bowels (IBS) have been shown to have lower levels of collagen (Koutroubakis,2014). Collagen can help re-establish the integrity of the intestinal lining. Glutamine is pivotal in avoiding gut wall irritation and in helping heal leaky gut syndrome. Glutamine slows inflammation and oxidative stress linked to openings in intersections in the intestinal linings connective tissue (Lin., et al, 2014). Collagen (Types I, III & V) helps intestinal walls repair themselves due to damage or inflammation (Graham, Drucker, Diegelmann, & Elson, 1987). Collagen can help with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis as well. Glycine, which is antispastic, can lesson the severity of muscle spasms and increase digestive juices (Peat, 2016).
Collagen has been shown to aid digestion in human and animal studies. This is as collagen is high in glutamic acid which is converted to L-Glutamate, an amino acid that helps regulate stomach acid. Glycine stimulates the secretion or production of stomic acid (Wald & Abidi, 1982). This in turn reduces the chances of heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers and digestive problems (Lim, et al., 2014). Collagen helps in the intestinal breakdown of other foods (carbohydrates and proteins).
Collagen (Types I, III & V) helps intestinal walls repair themselves due to damage or inflammation (Graham, Drucker, Diegelmann, & Elson, 1987). Further, glycine and proline help support a healthy stomach lining and lesson the likelihood of stress-related ulcers (Tariq, & Moutaety, 1997).
Urinary tract: Collagen III is necessary for normal human bladder functioning and normal volume changes (Chang, Howard, Koo, & Macarak, 1998). Further, in animal models type III collagen (found in type I) has been associated with normal bladder tension development and contraction (Stevenson, Kucich, Whitbeck, Levin & Howard, 2006). Bladder function can be disrupted by the abnormal synthesis of connective tissue due to a decrease in type 1 collagen (Baskin, Howard, & Macarak, 1993).
Liver: Glycine has been shown to have a protective effect on the human liver regarding cancer or tumor formation (Peat, 2016). In animal studies glycine prevents liver cell death, or lactate dehydrogenase leakage and when animals are deficient in choline and methionine supplementing with glycine prevented liver damage (Barakat & Hamza, 2012). Glycine also inhibits liver injury and positively effects liver related enzymes (selfhacked.com) and, intravenous glycine is shown to lesson liver injury by reducing inflammation and maintaining the production of energy at the cellular level (Sheth, 2011). In animals who suffered from induced liver disease, or bile duct ligation, glycine helped maintain vitamin D levels in the blood which slowed liver damage (Chen et al., 2013; Froh, et al., 2008). Glycine was found to reduce liver damage and also lesson death rates in animals who suffered sepsis, a serious bacterial infection (Yang, Koo, Chaudry, & Wang, 2001).
In human studies glycine lowers alcohol levels and lessons intoxications if taken before drinking (Blum, Wallace, & Friedman, 1974). And, in animal studies, also positively effects alcohol absorption, which may be beneficial to the liver. Here glycine slows down the absorption of alcohol by reducing the rate the stomach absorbs alcohol and moves it into the intestine (Akao, & Kobashi, 1995).

Partido de Ação Social foi uma sigla partidária brasileira de pouca expressão que, sob registro provisório, disputou as eleições brasileiras no ano de 1990. Sem ter eleito nenhum de seus candidatos, perdeu seu registro de partido político em 1991.

O partido utilizou o 72 como número de registro. Teve como presidente Antonio João Martins, que tentou disputar as eleições para o governo de São Paulo, mas sua candidatura foi anulada porque o PAS não havia obtido o registro no TSE. A mesma punição foi imposta a Nelson Alves, candidato ao Senado Federal pelo partido.
