The United States Army's Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Programs are executed within the Installation Management Command G9, Family and MWR Directorate,[1] following the deactivation of the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command on 3 June 2011 in a ceremony at Fort Sam Houston.[2] According to the organization's official mission statement, IMCOM G9 delivers "quality Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation programs and services supporting the readiness and resilience of the All-Volunteer Army."[3]
According to U.S. Army Regulation 215-1, Army MWR is a quality-of-life program that directly supports readiness by providing a variety of community, soldier, and family support programs, activities and services. Included in MWR are social, fitness, recreational, educational, and other programs and activities that enhance community life, foster soldier and unit readiness, promote mental and physical fitness, and generally provide a working and living environment that attracts and retains quality for U.S. Army soldiers, family members, retirees and its civilian workforce.[4]
The range of MWR programs offered at Army garrisons is based on the needs of authorized patrons who work and reside there. Programs are managed by garrison commanders within the framework of authorized and available appropriated and non-appropriated funds. Non-appropriated funds are those funds that are locally generated by MWR programs or provided by Installation Management Command (IMCOM) region directors and/or the Family and MWR Programs. AAFES dividends are also a source of non-appropriated funding.[4]
Each MWR program is classified by category. Categories are determined by their effect on the military mission and their ability to generate revenue.[4]

Family and MWR supports combat readiness and effectiveness; supports recruitment and retention of quality personnel; provides leisure time activities, which support a quality of life commensurate with generally accepted American values; promotes and maintains the mental and physical wellbeing of authorized personnel; fosters community pride, soldier morale, and family wellness and promotes unit esprit de corps, eases the impact of unique aspects of military life, such as frequent relocations and deployment.[4]
Although the United States Army was founded in 1775,[6] Morale, welfare, and recreation programs did not exist for the Army until the start of the twentieth century.[5]
Before that time, troop support came informally in the form of tradesmen and trading posts. The goods they were able to provide included meals, clothing, and laundering.[5]
The formalization of MWR services began with limited Congressional oversight established in 1876 over "Post Traders" and then the establishment of Army "PX" or The Post Exchange, by Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) in 1895, with War Department General Order No. 46, 1895.[7][8] Profits from the Post Exchange were used to support recreational activities for the troops.[5]
In 1903, the United States Congress passed the 1903 Army Appropriations Act, which provided funds to build, operate and maintain PXs, libraries, schools, recreation centers, and gyms for the troops.[5][8]
The Army Morale Division was established in 1918, followed by the Army Motion Picture Service in 1920 and the Library Service in 1923. In 1941, the Army Morale Division and these other organizations collectively became "Special Services."[5]
By 1943, Special Services had grown to include all of Army Recreation Services, the Army Exchange (the precursor to the Army and Air Force Exchange [AAFES]), and the Army Soldier Show. Special Services soon established the first Armed Forces Recreation Center (AFRC) in Bavaria (FMWR currently manages five AFRCs) and, by 1950, Special Services was placed under the Army Adjutant General's Office during an Army reorganization.[5]
Services for families, rather than just troops, began to emerge in the mid to late 1960s. In 1965, Army Community Services was created, followed in 1968 by a Youth Activities Program and, in 1971, an Outdoor Recreation Program.[5]
Emphasis on the family continued in 1981 with the first Family Advocacy Program and the first Army Family Symposium.[5]
With the publication in 1983 of Army Chief of Staff General John A. Wickham Jr's White Paper, the Army Family, the integral support role of Soldiers' families was acknowledged. The development of Gen. Wickham's White Paper led to initiatives such as the Army Family Action Plan (AFAP), Family Readiness Groups and Army Family Team Building.[9]
On 23 November 1984, the U.S. Army Community and Family Support Center (CFSC) was formed under General Order Number 40, as a Field Operating Agency.[5][10]
In 1993, oversight of CSFC changed from the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (DCSPER), to the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management (ACSIM) and the organization itself changed from a Field Operating Agency to a Direct Reporting Unit on 24 October 2006 when Installation Management Command (IMCOM) was activated and the Installation Management Agency (IMA) was deactivated.[11] With the activation of IMCOM, CFSC became the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command (FMWRC) on 24 October 2006.[5] Since 1996, ArmyMWR.com has been the website serving Soldiers and their Families at Garrisons and Installations in the United States and throughout the world.
The Family and MWR Command revised and published a new brand logo in 2010.[12]
On 26 May 2011, the command retired its flag in Alexandria, Va., to prepare for a move to San Antonio, Texas, in accordance with Base-Realignment and Closure law.[13]
The Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command was deactivated on 3 June 2011 in a ceremony at Fort Sam Houston. The deactivation ceremony formally changed FMWRC into the Installation Management Command G9 Division, commonly known as Family and MWR Programs.[14]
The first Director, G9 for MWR Programs was James C. Abney, SES.[15] The SES (Senior Executive Service)[16] is a pay grade for civilians in the Federal Government, somewhat equivalent to the rank of General. Prior to this appointment,[17] Mr. Abney was Deputy to the Commanding General of the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command (FMWRC) (now deactivated), and a Highly Qualified Expert (HQE)[18] with duties as the Special Assistant to the FMWRC Commanding General.
A new campus for the Installation Management Command was dedicated at Fort Sam Houston on 19 Aug. 2011.[19] Besides adding additional office space for MWR employees, the campus also features a new building for the Maj. Gen. Robert M. Joyce Family and MWR School of the Installation Management Academy, formerly the Maj. Gen. Robert M. Joyce Family and MWR Academy.[20] The historic Fort Sam Houston Theatre is also being adapted for use by the organization. When complete, interior modifications will include a modified stage, additional storage space and more room for lighting and recording equipment.[21]
The current director of Family and MWR Programs is Ms. Stephanie L. Hoehne.[22]
Executive summary[edit]
The Non-Appropriated Fund Instrumentality Program (NAFI),[4] is operated by the Army for Department of Defense agencies and MWR programs are established, maintained, and disestablished under sole authority of Army Regulation AR215-1.[23]
FMWR's major business partner, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service, provides a dividend to Army FMWR based on two distinct agreements. In the first, the Army shares 50 percent of AAFES net income after depreciation with the Air Force based on the number of active duty Soldiers and Airmen in each service—currently the Army receives 30 percent and the Air Force 20 percent of AAFES generated dividend revenue. Through the Army Simplified Dividend, garrisons receive 100 percent of profits from "Class VI" or personal demand supply items (such as health and hygiene products, soaps and toothpaste, writing material, snack food, beverages, cigarettes, batteries, and alcohol), 80 percent of pay telephone revenue, and 0.4 percent of all local AAFES sales. The latter component is deducted from the Army share of total AAFES profits with the remainder going to the Army Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Fund.[1]
Revenues received from Army Lodging room charges are used solely to sustain and recapitalize the Lodging program and its facilities.[1]
Monies derived from user fees and sales, AAFES, and recreation and amusement machine operations are invested and earn interest to benefit Army FMWR operations. When combined, NAF represents 42 percent of all funding, allowing Army FMWR programs to continue to serve more than 3.9 million patrons.[1]
Most of this money goes to Army installations and is used to run FMWR operations, programs, and services. What is left is focused on Army-wide capital improvements and minor construction and capital purchases.[1]
Army Family Covenant[edit]
Unveiled on 8 October 2007, the Army Family Covenant institutionalized the U.S. Army's publicly announced pledge to support its soldiers and their families—Active, Guard and Reserve—with resourced programs to deliver a quality of life "commensurate with their service and sacrifice to the nation".[24] According to U.S. Army officials, the Army Family Covenant commits the U.S. Army to enhance soldier and family readiness by:
- Standardizing family programs and services
- Increasing accessibility to health care
- Improving Soldier and family housing
- Ensuring excellence in Child, Youth & School Services
- Expanding education and employment opportunities for family members.[1][25]
Since implementing the Army Family Covenant, U.S. Army senior leaders say they've made significant progress in fulfilling its promises.[26] But, they also acknowledge more work is needed to build an environment where Army families can prosper and realize their full potential within the constraints of persistent conflict.[1] In 2015, the Army renamed the covenant program to "Total Army Strong."

Armed Forces Recreation Centers (AFRC) full-service resort hotels are Joint Service Facilities developed to provide vacation recreation opportunities to service members, their families, and other authorized patrons (including official travelers) of the Total Defense Force.[27] The AFRCs are centrally-managed, U.S. Army FMWR-operated facilities.[28]
Four[29] AFRCs operate worldwide, overseen by the Army's Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Programs in San Antonio, Texas.[30] The four resorts include Dragon Hill Lodge in Seoul, Korea; Edelweiss Lodge and Resort in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany; the Hale Koa Hotel in Hawaii; and Shades of Green[31] located in Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.[28]
Dragon Hill Lodge[edit]
Resting in the heart of Seoul, Korea, the Dragon Hill Lodge[32] offers 394 guest rooms, health club with indoor pool, and four restaurants to serve military personnel, Department of Defense Civilian employees, and their family members.[1]
Edelweiss Lodge and Resort[edit]
Home to the Edelweiss Lodge and Resort.
Hale Koa Hotel[edit]
On 25 October 1975 a traditional Hawaiian blessing complete with royal procession opened the Hale Koa Hotel.[34][35][36]
Today, Fort DeRussy Armed Forces Recreation Center is the home of the Hale Koa Hotel,[37] or House of the Warrior, an 817 room resort hotel.[35]
In 1991, a major expansion project began at the Hale Koa,[37] including the development of 66 acres (270,000 m2) of Fort DeRussy, a new swimming pool complex, two snack bars, a beverage bar and luau garden. In addition, Kalia Road, fronting the Hale Koa Hotel,[37] was also realigned and improved. By 1995, the new Maile Tower took its place beside the existing Ilima Tower increasing the number of guestrooms from 419 to 817. Also, debuting was a 1,287 stall parking garage, fitness center, adults only pool, and a new restaurant, Bibas.[35]
The Hale Koa[37] operates without taxpayer dollars supporting upkeep or operation. It's estimated that over one million military personnel and dependents visit Hale Koa's[37] facilities each year.[35]
Shades of Green[edit]
Shades of Green[31] opened 1 February 1994.[38]
Shades of Green[31] is located on Walt Disney World Resort.[39]
Arts and crafts[edit]
The arts and crafts program offers educational, self-development activities.
FMWR hosts an annual U.S. Army Arts and Crafts and All-Army Photography Contests.[4]
Automotive skills[edit]
The FMWR automotive skills program offers facilities, equipment, technical instruction, skilled assistance, and problem-solving services. [4]
Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers[edit]
The BOSS program addresses single Soldier quality of life (QOL) issues and initiatives. BOSS provides a vehicle through which single soldier QOL concerns are identified and recommendations for improvement are made. This vehicle is a means to assess the interests and needs of the single Soldier. The BOSS program provides an opportunity for single Soldiers to participate in, and contribute to, their respective communities. [4]
FMWR Bowling center activities include bowling leagues, open bowling, tournaments, instructional programs, exhibitions, youth services-sponsored events, locker rentals, and child care services for bowling center patrons.[4]
Child, Youth, and School Services (CYSS)[edit]
CYSS consists of four services: Child Development Services (CDS); School Age Services (SAS), Youth Services (YS), and School Liaison Officers (SLOs). Each service has associated programs. For CDS, these programs are CDCs and FCC homes. For SAS, these programs are School-Age Centers and Camps. For YS, these programs are: Youth Centers/Teen Centers and CYSS Sports and Fitness (S&F). For SLOs, these programs are Youth Education Support and Outreach.[4]
Community Recreation Centers[edit]
Community Recreation Center (CRC) programs and services support the overall FMWR mission and according to the U.S. Army are directly related to unit readiness by delivering individual and group activities during peacetime, mobilization, contingency, and wartime operations.[4]
Entertainment (performing arts)[edit]
The FMWR entertainment program provides diverse musical, unit entertainment activities, special events, and theater entertainment. The U.S. Army's entertainment program also includes local performing arts centers and the U.S. Army Soldier Show.[4]
The Army golf program offers recreational golf, open play, tournaments, and services such as golf instruction, golf resale, food and beverage services, catering, and other golf-related activities for eligible patrons.[4]
Gyms & physical fitness centers[edit]
According to the U.S. Army, physical fitness programs develop the cardiovascular fitness, strength conditioning, flexibility, and recreation of Army personnel. For most U.S. Army garrisons, physical fitness facilities are the hub of the installation-level sports and fitness programs. Authorized patrons are generally afforded access to Army gyms and physical fitness centers at no cost to the patron.[4]
Leisure Travel Services[edit]
FMWR Leisure Travel Services (LTS) provide information and access for personal travel and travel related services at representative industry or discount prices. LTS often provide Army personnel access to commercial travel and tourism discounts.[4]
Library & information services[edit]
According to the U.S. Army, on-post libraries are a central information resource for the military community providing the tools and services to impact mission readiness, support lifelong learning, enable literacy, and enhance the military community's well being. Services found at garrison libraries include borrower services, inter-library loan access, reference/research support, educational support, and technical services. Army libraries also offer information technology resources, and internet access. Army libraries are subject to standards of regional educational accrediting associations, the American Council on Education, and the Military Installation Voluntary Educational Review, which review and accredit colleges and universities offering classes on Army installations.[4]
A listing for all the Army MWR libraries can be found at the FMWR website.[40]
The FMWR movie program provides free-admission motion picture entertainment to isolated or deployed military personnel and civilians.[4]
Food, beverage, and entertainment on military installations[edit]
By U.S. Army regulation, MWR food, beverage, and entertainment (FB&E) programs encompass all MWR food operations such as military clubs (membership and nonmembership), FB&E operations, and snack bar operations in MWR facilities such as bowling, golf, and recreation centers. MWR FB&E programs are a part of a commander's overall food service programs and assist the commander, along with AAFES and subsistence/troop feeding, in meeting the food service needs an Army installation's assigned or visiting personnel.[4]
Outdoor recreation[edit]
The FMWR outdoor recreation program provides structured and recreation activities and instruction. By regulation, it offers diverse, healthful, vigorous, and comprehensive outdoor recreation programs, while conserving and protecting wildlife, forests, wetlands, and other natural resources.[4]
Sports and fitness[edit]
U.S. Army installation and unit-level intramural programs are designed for broad-based participation in a full range of individual and team intramural programs consistent with patron interest, availability of suitable facilities, unit missions, and climate. The U.S. Army encourages commanders to use these programs provide opportunities to enhance individual morale and unit esprit de corps, promote teamwork and cooperation, engage in competitive recreation, and to encourage individuals to attain and sustain high levels of physical fitness and physical readiness. FMWR emphasizes group participation in unit and intramural sports with wide appeal, such as softball, volleyball, flag football, basketball, running, skeet, and soccer. Sports and fitness programming also includes instruction, practice, and competition at all skill levels. Generally, playing rules published by U.S. national sports governing bodies are used for all competitions conducted within the Army.[4]
U.S. Army swimming programs a designed promote fitness and recreation and include instruction, lifeguard training, fitness programs, comptetive swimming, water safety, military survival training and recreation.
Special programs and services[edit]
Survivor Outreach Services[edit]
Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) provides specialized resources to assist families of deceased soldiers.[41] The program aims to provide access to support, information and services at a location near the survivor, for as long as needed.[42]
The program exists as a joint effort between FMWR, the Installation Management Command (IMCOM), the Casualty and Mortuary Affairs Operation Center (CMAOC), the Army National Guard and Army Reserve.[43]
Exceptional Family Member Program[edit]
The Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) works with other military and civilian agencies to provide comprehensive and coordinated community support, housing, educational, medical, and personnel services worldwide to military families with special needs. As a specific example, EFMP provides temporary rest periods for family members who serve as caregivers to persons with disabilities. Depending on unique circumstances, the care can be provided at either the home of the care user or the home of care provider. It can also be provided in other settings such as camps and enrichment programs.[44] Within the Army, EFMP is governed by Army Regulation 608-75.[45]
Army Entertainment Detachment[edit]
Soldier Show[edit]
The U.S. Army Soldier Show is a musical ensemble of soldiers which tours military installations annually.[46] Its current form originated in 1983 from several existing shows, but Sgt. Israel Beilin directed the first version of the Army Soldier Show, "Yip Yip Yaphank" in 1918. Beilin is better known as Irving Berlin. He also coined the ensemble's motto: "Entertainment for the Soldier, by the Soldier."[47]
Following the selection of the cast and crew, soldiers work with the Army Entertainment Detachment of FMWR as a deployable military unit. Training at Fort Belvoir lasts six weeks, after which time, the group tours for up to seven months. Performances can include up to 40 songs in a variety of genres during each 90 minute performance.[47]
The Soldier Show is not funded with any taxpayer funds, but with non-appropriated funds generated by business programs of FMWR.[47]
The theme for the 2011 season is "Carnival – A Traveling Thank You."[48]
Operation Rising Star[edit]
Operation Rising Star is an annual singing competition for military service members and their spouses in the style of American Idol. Auditions are conducted annually at military garrisons around the world and the semifinalists travel to Fort Belvoir in Virginia to compete in the final phases of the competition.[49]
Following the competition, winners record a three-song demo CD at DMI Music's Firehouse Recording Studios in Pasadena, California.[50]
Army Concert Tour[edit]
The Army Concert Tour is a summer concert series that brings popular music acts to Army installations.[51] Performers for the 2010 season include Toby Keith, Ludacris, Sammy Hagar, Creed and Miranda Lambert, in addition to others.[52]
Toby Keith is a headliner at several Army Concert Tour stops during the 2010 season.
Carter's Chord performs at Fort Knox as part of the Army Concert Tour.
As part of the Army Concert Tour, Katharine McPhee sings for the crowd at Fort Knox.
Warrior Adventure Quest[edit]
Warrior Adventure Quest provides recreational opportunities for soldiers during the transition period immediately following deployment. Past activities have included white-water rafting, paintball and mountain biking. Army officials hope that by utilizing the program, there will be a reduction in high-risk off-duty activities.
WAQ is managed by the Outdoor Recreation Program of Family and MWR. According to Army officials, the average cost per person to participate in WAQ is $86.[53]
World Class Athlete Program[edit]
The U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) provides soldier-athletes the opportunity to compete toward qualifying for the United States Olympic team. Qualified soldiers must be nationally ranked in their chosen sport and be certified by the United States Olympic Committee at a world class level. Athletes join the program at least three years before the Olympic Trials.[54][55] To be eligible for the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program, soldiers must currently be a member of the Active Army, Army Reserve, or Army National Guard. Soldiers must also be eligible to represent the USA in international competitions and demonstrate the potential to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Team or U.S. Paralympic Team.[55][56]
MG Robert M. Joyce FMWR School[edit]
The Installation Management Academy is a full-fledged brick and mortar institution of professional learning and career development, featuring the Maj. Gen. Robert M. Joyce Family and MWR School. The school includes numerous subject matter experts in various areas of U.S. Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Activities. Nearly 100 courses are offered through online or classroom formats. Recently, 39 courses have received college credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) and graduates are increasingly transferring them to colleges and universities to receive college credits. Since its inception, employees have completed over 28,400 courses in various Family and MWR program areas.[57]
In May 2010 the Family and MWR Academy was renamed the MG Robert M. Joyce Family and MWR Academy in honor of the first Commander of the Community and Family Support Center. MG Joyce was instrumental in the founding of the Academy and the inspired vision of a professional and developed workforce.[57] Following the transition from a headquarters in Alexandria, Va., to San Antonio, Texas, The Academy became the Maj. Gen. Robert M. Joyce Family and MWR School within the Installation Management Academy.[20]
On 7 April 1986 the Commanding General of Community and Family Support Center (CFSC) tasked Colonel Perkins, as Chief of Field Operations, to review training within MWR and its programs throughout the Army. The focus of the review was to identify the system's currently available training, specify its shortfalls, determine the optimum training program, and project the estimated resources necessary to fund an improved program. The ultimate qualifier to apply to the review was "What is best for the Army."[58]
Upon completion of Colonel Perkins' task, a Master Training Concept was developed and approved, and the MWR Academy was launched. A graphical representation of the Master Training Concept was defined in terms of a pyramid. The Master Training Concept was designed to integrate all levels of training and all programs for training, and ensure availability of training to the workforce.[58]
The Master Training Concept is still applicable today. This plan, in conjunction with the Army Civilian Training, Education and Development System (ACTEDS) Plan for Career Field 51 (MWR) forms the basis of the Family and MWR Academy's curriculum. Together, these guidelines provide a structured, progressive, and sequential approach to Family and MWR employee development and training for entry-level through executive-management positions.[58]
The Family and MWR School is also an Authorized Provider (AP) of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/ International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET). All Family and MWR-sponsored courses are reviewed for their compliance with ANSI/IACET standards and receive CEUs.[58]
Since the Academy's inception, over 28,400 family and MWR employees have been trained in various Family and MWR program areas and at various levels.[58]
Funding categories[edit]
Category A: Mission-sustaining programs[edit]
Considered essential to sustaining readiness, these programs generally enhance and promote the physical and mental well being of Soldiers. Programs in this category have little or no capacity for generating Non-appropriated Fund (NAF) income and are supported almost entirely with funds appropriated by the U.S. Congress (APF).[4][59]
Category B: Community support programs[edit]
These programs are closely related, in terms of supporting the military mission, to those grouped in category A. They satisfy the basic physiological and psychological needs of Soldiers and their Families and provide, to the extent possible, the community support systems that make military garrisons temporary hometowns for a mobile military population. These support programs will receive substantial amounts of APF support, but differ from those programs in category A, in part because of their ability to generate NAF revenues. That ability to generate revenues is limited, however, and in no case may they be sustained without substantial APF support.[4]
Category C: Revenue-generating programs[edit]
These programs have less impact on readiness. They offer desirable social and recreational opportunities. Programs in this category have the capability of generating enough income to cover most of their operating expenses, but they lack the ability to sustain themselves based purely on their business activity; consequently, they receive limited APF support. Chapter 5 addresses funding for category C MWR programs located at remote and isolated sites, funding for base closures, and funding as a result of special security conditions.[4]
Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentalities (NAFI)[edit]
Every NAFI is legally constituted as an "instrumentality of the United States." The term "NAFI" includes entities at the garrison level, also referred to as garrison MWR operating entities or simply entities (previously the installation MWR fund). Funds in NAFI/entity accounts are Government funds, and NAF property, including buildings, is Government property. However, NAFs are separate from APFs of the U.S. Treasury. They are not commingled with APFs and are managed separately, even when supporting a common program.[4]
Each NAFI/entity operates under the authority of the U.S. Government in accordance with applicable Federal laws and departmental regulations. Because NAFIs/entities operate under the authority of the Federal Government, they are entitled to the same sovereign privileges and immunities as the Federal Government accorded by Federal law.[4]
Applicable DOD directives and implementing Army regulations are binding on NAFIs. NAFI/entity programs and facilities are operated, maintained, and funded as part of the U.S. Army's personnel and readiness program.[4][60]

City College Brighton & Hove is continuing to work on plans for the redevelopment of its city centre campus and has reviewed and updated its masterplan to ensure that the scheme delivers maximum value for money.
The key components of the scheme remain largely unchanged and include a refurbishment of the Pelham Tower, together with a new build extension on part of the existing College car park. The new build will be integrated into the tower and will house new facilities for Creative, Design and IT courses as well as providing a new entrance to the College. The plans consolidate the College provision into one building.
The Masterplan was approved by the Board in November and the next step is to explore funding options, including a possible bid to the Local Enterprise Partnership in summer 2017.
City College Brighton & Hove is working on plans for the redevelopment of its city centre campus. Initial work has been undertaken to develop a scheme consisting of a complete refurbishment of the existing Pelham Tower alongside a linked new build component housing a Centre for the Creative Industries to train the next generation of talent for the City's burgeoning creative, digital and IT sector.
An application to provide partial funding for the scheme was made to the Local Growth Fund (LGF) administered by the local enterprise partnership (LEP) Coast2Capital in spring 2016. The College has now been informed by the LEP that the scheme does not form part of their submission to the Government for LGF funding.
The College remains committed to redevelopment of the site and is reviewing options to progress a scheme which meets its aspirations without LGF support.
City College Brighton & Hove is working on plans for the redevelopment of its city centre campus. The plans are contingent on a number of factors including an application to the Local Growth Fund administered by the local enterprise partnership Coast2Capital.
The Pelham Campus will play a central role in the College's plans to create a new Institute of Arts & Technology providing high quality technical and applied routes into employment and higher education across the Greater Brighton region.
At the heart of the scheme is a complete refurbishment of the existing Pelham Tower alongside a 2,500m2 new build in the North side of the car park. The new build component of the scheme will house a Centre for the Creative Industries to train the next generation of talent for the City's burgeoning creative, digital and IT sector.
The proposals for the redevelopment of the Pelham Campus represent the College's early thinking around what could be achieved on the site.
At this very early stage, the scheme simply provides a general overview of what could be achieved on the site. If the College is successful with its bid for Local Growth Funding, it will start to develop its plans in more detail. At that point, the College will be working with the local community - including its staff and students – to explore how the site can best deliver for local students and apprentices.

City College Brighton & Hove is working on plans for the redevelopment of its city centre campus. The plans are contingent on a number of factors including an application to the Local Growth Fund administered by the local enterprise partnership Coast2Capital.
The College has ambitious plans to create a new Institute of Arts & Technology on the site providing high quality technical and applied routes into employment and higher education.
Initial work on the scheme suggests that some of the existing site, located on Pelham Street between the North Laine and New England Quarter could be used to create a site for a Secondary School.
The College is committed to working with the Local Authority to explore all the options for the site.
At its Governing Body meeting on 22 February 2016 it was agreed that the College will no longer be progressing the redevelopment scheme that received planning approval in April 2014 for its Pelham Street Campus.
The College remains committed to the redevelopment of the Campus and has appointed a firm of architects to begin the process of space planning required for a review of the options available for the site. The architects will build upon research and planning activity undertaken as part of the 2013 and 2014 project in conducting the options analysis.
City College is committed to providing the very best environment for our students. Our ambition is that every student is able to access the resources and facilities they need to support their learning and their ambitions for the future.
The College is embarking on an ambitious building programme at our City College East campus where our new LEP* funded Construction & Trades Centre will open in the spring of 2017 providing state of the art facilities for the next generation of construction students and apprentices.
Construction provision currently undertaken at the Preston Road site will transfer to the new Centre allowing our students to benefit from studying at one of our main campuses. The Preston Road site will no longer be required and will be sold to provide funds to invest into our main facilities.
Following the Government's announcement of a review of post-16 education and training in July 2015, the College's proposed development of the Pelham Street Campus has been placed on hold until the outcomes of the Sussex Coast Area Review are published in April 2015^.
A property strategy that takes full account of those outcomes will be developed in the spring and summer of 2016 and will set out plans for how the Pelham campus can be redeveloped to meet the needs of the students, businesses and the wider community in the city and the Greater Brighton region.
* Local Enterprise Partnership, Coast2Capital, http://www.coast2capital.org.uk
^ 2015: BIS/15/433. Reviewing post-16 education and training institutions
More information on Area Reviews can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/post-16-education-and-training-area-reviews
In June 2014, Brighton & Hove City Council Planning Committee approved plans for a new Construction & Trades Centre at the City College East Campus on Wilson Avenue. The Centre has been designed to be a leading educational and training hub for Brighton & Hove's next generation of construction workers.
The £9m centre, which has been funded by the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), will enable students in the different trades to work together and follow each other through the construction process, mirroring real site conditions.
HNW Architects designed the centre, leading construction firm Osborne are building it and the works are being project-managed by Sussex construction and property consultancy practice, NorthGates.
Demolition of old structures on the site started in November 2015 and construction work commenced in January 2016. The Centre is scheduled to be completed by Spring 2017.

Voluma, cheeks and lower lids
*Treatment results may vary
Was this photo helpful? {{ voteCount + ' other' + (voteCountOthers == 1 ? '' : 's') }} found this helpful
This patient had no prior cosmetic treatments. She noticed changes in her face over the past few years that made her look older and more tired. She wanted to look refreshed and stay natural looking. She requested a non-surgical rejuvenation of her cheeks and lower eyelids with fillers. Voluma (3 vials) was used to augment her cheeks and lower eyelids.

Week 8 Show: Between Two Waves
Last year with Don's Party NUTS took a long hard look at the Australian Dream. Williams' piece explored the disparity between social and individual fulfillment and the psychological effect on those who chose life, home ownership and the security of nine-to-five over what the truly want for themselves. For their generation the simplicity, stability and prosperity of a humble, hard working life was too good an offer to refuse. Almost fifty years later, Between Two Waves shows a vision of the future that is not so simple. The optimism for the future that was enjoyed by our parents and theirs can often feel a distant luxury when there is no way of knowing what that future will look like.
This uncertainty is told in the story of a young couple, Fiona and Daniel. For Fiona, a psychologist turned photographer turned civil secretary; certainty for the future proves ever elusive as she struggles to become the person she can be for the rest of her life. For Daniel, a climatologist with what he believes to be a factual grasp on how the world is ending, the notion of a bright future seems selfish and futile.
Premiering at Sydney's Griffin Theatre in 2012, Between Two Waves contains an urgent message about our time and place. Come and have a long hard look at yourself.
Where: Studio One UNSW
When: 25th-29th April
Director: Michael Booker
Producer: Keri Tsaoucis
DUSA, FISH, STAS AND Vi auditions
NUTS presents Auditions for Dusa, Fish, Stas and Vi by Pam Gems
The play follows the lives of four women at different stages of their 20's. Dusa, a mother going through a divorce who desperately wants to find her children, kidnapped by their father. Fish, a seemingly confident lawyer who's life begins to fall a part when her long time on and off lover begins to settle down with another woman. Stas, a physiotherapist by day and hostess at night, trying to save enough money to study in America, and finally Vi, the youngest of the group struggling with her mental health. As the lives of these women unravel, hope is found, breakdowns are inevitable and the four women's limits are tested from one extreme to the other.
Auditions 11th - 13th April:
Tuesday: 5pm-8pm, Matthews 226
Wednesday: 1pm-4pm, Matthews 106
Thursday: 10am-4pm, Law 202
Want a break from all of that hard study and work you're doing? Then look at all the wonderful things you could be doing with NUTS!

math- please help
posted by Ellie .
a copy machine makes c copies in m minutes according to the equation c=60m. what is the unit rate of copies per minute?
I think it is m but not sure, can you help me understand how to figure out this equation. Please help!
c/m = 60
they have told you that c=60m, so that for every minute, you get 60 copies.
This helped alittle but the answers were multiple choice
a. c
C. m
D .m/c
That is why I thought the best answer was c. = m
Is this correct?
why not (B)?
How do you figure this out? I don't know how to do it? Can you please explain how you would get b? Did you just divide each side by m?
Thank you for your help
Basically, that is just what you do.
we are told that c=60m
that is, using the units,
copies = 60 * minutes
now divide by minutes because you want the rate (copies/minute)
copies/minutes = 60
also, you can think of it like this
now, what happens if you take 1 more minute?
60(m+1) = 60m+60
That is, during the next minute you get 60 more copies.
Thank you so much for your help.

TOMBSTONE OF FRANK NITTI (NITTO) - Mount Carmel Cemetery, Hillside, Cook County, IL
Scarface Al's right-hand man was Frank "The Enforcer" Nitti. He ran things in Chicago for Capone while Capone served his short stint at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia and was also instrumental in Chicago's gangland scene after Capone was convicted and imprisoned for Income Tax Evasion. Nitti committed suicide in 1943. Ironically, he is buried about 75 - 100 yards from Al.

This Encyclopedia constitutes a preliminary source of information on various aspects of the transnational trade in cultural objects. It comprises an inter-linked collection of short entries, grouped together and organized according to the headings Case Studies, Theory & Method and Terminology. They are further sorted by Place and by Subject.
Each entry synthesizes information taken from what are considered to be reliable sources, and presents a bibliography of primary publications to facilitate further and more in-depth research. The authors endeavour to prepare texts that are factually accurate and objective accounts, and the texts are not therefore indicative of an author's personal opinion.
The Encyclopedia is a work in progress, and new entries will be added (and current entries updated as appropriate) as time permits. It is intended primarily as a resource for academic research into the trade, but has also been assembled with provenance research in mind, and should appeal to a broader constituency of interested readers. The authors endeavour to attribute any images that are used, but we should be contacted by the owners of unattributed images.

Sensitivity is the tingling feeling in your teeth. There could be two causes for this ; 1) various lesion 2) wearing of your teeth due to tooth to tooth Contact or mechanical wearing commonly Improper brushing. If it's a carious lesion it should be restored and wearing of teeth can be controlled with change in brushing habits, and restorations or a night guard to avoid further wearing.

I have finbished the inital part of my hit and run tactic space marines, based on Kayvaan Shrike.
I currently have
Chaplain mounted on a bike
Assualt Marines
+ jet packs
+ 1 ligtning claw
Attack bikes x 2
+ Multi Melta
Scout Squad x 5
+ Camo Cloaks
+ 4 Sniper rifels
+ 1 missle launcher
Tactical Squad + Sergant
standrad bolt guns
This amounts to around 500 with add ons etc, but dont have my definitive list to hand.
Im looking at expanding thi sto a 1000 point army using the same tactics, i currently have Shrike and his wing made up painted etc ready to go but due to there extremelly high point cost was hoping to leave them out till aroun 2000 point games once im ready
as i use hit and run i was thinking
drop pod + tactick squads / terminator squad
Land Speeders
Legion of the Damend - for fluff reasons ?
Im not really sure if anyones has some suggestions ill more than hapy to hear them.
Kind Regards

Don't even bother with Leigon of the Damned because they're almost as stupid as Lamentors (paint wise )
but no in all seriousness to help you out;
If you're basing it around Shrike, get Shrike for your 1k list and just make it a 1250. (I think Shrike is around 175?) I am not up to looking up in the Codex right now.
I take it that Tac Squad is 5 man as well? Instead of taking a seperate squad of 5, take 5 more and give them at least a flamer/ml for free. Also go ahead and give your Sgt bp/cs there isn't really a benefit with SM shooting to having ONE more botler as opposed to a cs ripping through heretics.
Since you wanna do 'Hit and Run' add some scout bikes. Those cluster mines are realllly fun.
Try kitting out your guys too; especially with Teleport Homers/Beacons if you're going for the h/r tactics. Land Speeders are great as well. Deep Strike is great with Teleport Homers. Just remember that the less you have to deploy with this tactic the better your chances are of getting a good infiltrate and great deep strikes. You may even decide to take a Librarian at 1500 for Gate of Infinity + another support spell or Vortex of Doom perhaps.
A lot of the choices are yours of course. Don't let people make you take things you wouldn't have fun with. But your list is solid and it looks like you'll be moving up to a decent 1000 point list! Welcome to where the real fun starts .
thanks for the response. Firstly the Attack squad are 5 man, and Shrikes wing is composed of Vanguard Veterans all with Lightning Claws add this to Shrike and your looking at a big point cost, but saying that doesnt mean i have to use them all together.
Im likeing the sound of scout bikes, my thoughts where to get 1 more attack bike to make up a squad of 3 of them. but will definatly look into scout bikes, havent read much into these cluster mines.
I will be getting a further 5 attack squad, although (at work and no codex around ) does a 10 man attack squad have the ability ( like a larger bike squad ) to split up within themselves? can imagine that making some fantastic flanking oppotunities
Libarians dont really 'fit' into my army unfortunatly, however i did look at further scout squads but equipping the seragnt with a teleport hommer, as scout squads have the inflitrate rule thought these could be a good alternative?
origianlly it was a toss up between land speeder & attack bikes, so again these are on the list
thanks for your help and time - The Legion of the Damned do look good if you can make themselves and paint them well enough, suppose i better get practising
I'm Batman
By my mental calculations, that's 530ish points, so I'd check your maths
Right, to hit 1000points, build up the tactical squad to 10men and get your free weapons. Give them a Drop Pod for turn 1 arrival.
Take another unit of 5 scouts, this time all BP/CCW, perhaps give them a Power Weapon or Fist. Don't take them as a separate unit, instead take them as the 'extra 5 scouts' to the existing squad, as this will save you 10 points, combat squad on deployment so these guys can infiltrate for a first-turn charge =)
Assault Marines could do with being pumped up to a full 10man unit, grab a flamer or two for extra kick before assaulting. These lads would then be your turn 2 or 3 charge unit.
Grab one more attack bike, that way you've got 4 bikes (inc. chappy) running interference for the Assault Marines up to the attack.
That should take you to 5points under 1k. Naturally, you can swap and change ideas around, but building on your existing list without introducing too many new units would perhaps give you a better grasp of the tactics needed for this style of play without diluting the potency of the list.
Personally, don't bother with Shrike until you're around 1500points, and even then the LC Vanguard Wing are such an investment they really should be left at home until you're into Apoc levels (at which point they really excel!)
Legion of the Damned have their perks, but only against armies with lots of low AP weapons where the Invuln really helps.
To answer your question on Assault Marines 'splitting', yes, pretty much all infantry in the 5th edition codex can split into combat squads. I really should emphasise that combat-squadding an Assault Squad really isn't such a great idea unless you know what you're doing.
Let us know how you get on.

thanks for your response,
Im at work and dont have access to my codex / proper list, but they way its worked out is closer to 500 i think i dont normally play one of those sergants or well im not sure anyways the point is ...
The chaplain is used as an independant charicter, zooming around with turbo boosters joining squads preparing for an attack especally the assualt marines, he grants them a re roll, so with the charge, 2 CC weapons and his re roll ability its a pritty effect attack. then i guess once i add more it going to be an even more power full assualt
they hold up the location / strategic position etc and he zooms off to go and help some other squad out some where else or just the attack bikers who maybe preparing to drive back a tank, combat squad / scout squad arrive and take control of the location and the assualt marines are off again.
the attack bikers are there to take on any tanks or to cause a distraction if things arent going to plan with the assualts.
so thinking this through would it be an idea to beef up the cfombat squad with addiotnal fir power to allow them hold positions once won, or even a devestator squad?
then i guess if all assualt marines have only CC weapons they might not be able to hold a location for long.
thanks for your help by the way, i have been so set on CC weapons to get the large assualt attacks i havent thought about guns etc much before this
I'm Batman
Hey, no problems.
Dont worry about lots-o-guns, the aim of your list is hit-and-run, not take-and-hold
You want to smash into the enemy at full speed, cause as much damage, then run back to capture objectives/etc on the last turn.
Devastators seriously are not a good option in this list. A predator would be a wise investment and cheaper points cost too!
Once ive got hold of my list and codex and made a decision ill let yous know how it turns out.
Thanks again

Throughout the past ten years, thanks to the internet, we've all changed the way we do business. We have websites, we optimize our websites for search engines, we utilize social media, and in general we promote our presence online just as much as in-person. Although we've changed the way we do marketing for our business, we've adopted because of the consumer. Nobody walked into our office one day and told us we needed a website. We saw consumers would feel more comfortable with our business if we had a website, so we implemented one, and here we are.
Want to hear something absolutely astronomical? 76% of business owners feel marketing has changed more in the past two years, than in the prior 50. What does this mean? Just having a website to have a website isn't good enough anymore. You're not unique. ReachLocal just released a study saying 97% of local business owners have a website Just running television ads, or ads in the local newspaper isn't going to cut it. We need more: SEO, Social Media Marketing, Mobile Marketing. While people may jump through hoops to rank their site in Google, they miss out on one key element.
People care about what others think.
The numbers do not lie. According to Boast, 90% of consumers polled after previously viewing online reviews said it influenced their purchase. 90% is a huge number – that's 9 customers out of ten. If your reviews are negative, that means you're shutting out 9/10 customers right off the bat.
If you finally rank your restaurant #1 in Google, but consumers get there and find out that everyone loathes your restaurant, they aren't going to go there, period. You need a strong online reputation with great reviews to bring a consumer in. You need social proof. According to a new study, 67% of all consumers in the United States are turning to online reviews when making a purchase decision online as well. If your company is misrepresented, people are going to go "pass. next".
Picture this: you're an average family in a town you've never been in before. You want to eat out at a local family restaurant so you do a quick search on Google while driving around. "Restaurants near me" you type. You start scrolling through restaurants, paying attention to how many stars are shown next to the result. 2.8, 3.5, 4.1, 4.4, and here you are… 4.7/5 with 38 reviews. You're sold without even needing to read about the restaurant.
But how do you get people to actually leave a review? You've been open for years, and yet you only have two reviews online. What's stopping consumers from reviewing YOUR business instead of others? In the rest of this guide, we're going to show you a few proven, tested methods to improving your local review funnel and to entice your average consumer to do you a huge favor, and leave you a review online.
Before we begin, make sure everything is in tip-top shape on your Google Places listing. Make sure you have relevant, high-quality imagery so people can identify you are the correct restaurant. You can't skimp on anything here – make sure the address is correct, make sure the links to your website are correct. Spend some time really making it look as good, or better than any other listing in your local area. If you previously had a listing without an address, links, or imagery, there's a chance this is one of the reasons you haven't been getting many reviews.
I would also highly suggest getting your business up on websites like Yelp or the Yellow Pages if you don't already.
How to Get Consumers to Leave Reviews:
Mention Them:
A lot of small businesses are getting stickers that help entice customers right off the bat. These decals can easily be thrown up at the front of your business location and will remind your consumers to leave a review, both when they visit, and when they leave. Make that initial connection when visitors come into your location. When you finish your services, try to mention that they should leave a review if they were happy. Set up a bit.ly link to your local listing to make it easy for viewers to remember. If your business name is "Crush Local", try something like bit.ly/CrushNewYork if you can. This makes it a quick, easy process for consumers. Remember, they're doing you a favor, so make it as easy as possible. Here's what the stickers we mentioned earlier look like:
Offer Incentives:
Whoa…why would I offer incentives to my customers in exchange for reviews? Isn't that pointless?
Not in the slightest – as we showed earlier, by getting more reviews, and higher quality reviews, you're going to bring more customers in, and rake in more profit. Picking an incentive can be tricky, but personally, I like to kill two birds with one stone and offer a discount on the next purchase if they can provide a review. You can set up some kind of deal where if the customers shows they've reviewed your business on Google, Facebook, Yelp, or another website, they get 10% off their order. If you run something like a restaurant this might not fly -say you own a coffee shop for example, try offering a free drink. Something small that gets them to act.
Don't forget the rule of reciprocity. If you do something for them, they'll do something for you.
Promote Social Media:
Make sure you're pushing social media along with reviews. If customers already go through the trouble to follow you on social media for updates, there's a higher chance that they're going to give you a review. If you push your social media profile, or have been pushing it for a while, you can also ask customers on social media to leave a review. Interact with your audience, and they'll interact with you. Remember to push. Let's look at an example:
Let's say a customer responded to our coffee shop's deal for 20% off a Monday coffee and said "coming in for sure! Love the atmosphere, love the deals!". We could leave a well-placed, interactive comment saying something along the lines of "hey __name__, we're so glad you love the atmosphere! If you have a spare minute would you mind leaving a review on Yelp here __bit.ly link__?".
They'll do it more times than not. You've already garnered a positive comment out of them. You've already provided a positive experience for them – they'll be more than happy to leave a review.
Dealing With Negative Reviews:
As mentioned earlier, negative reviews can hugely harm your online reputation and send customers away. I would classify a negative review as a 1 or 2-star rating on any major website. There are a few keys to dealing with negative reviews as to not steer customers away when they see it.
ALWAYS Respond to The Review:
I can't count how many times I've cringed in horror after reading how terribly a business owner replied to criticism. The customer may be unreasonable, but they take it to a completely different level. A huge argument spurs out, and you're left with the business owner cursing out the consumer, saying that their opinion is wrong.
Never do this. The customer is always right, especially when you're being scrutinized.
Respond to the review in a highly positive manner. Whatever you convey to this consumer is what you're going to convey to everyone else who reads your comment. Say that you're very sorry that their experience was negative and tell them that if they're willing to give you another shot, speak to you directly and you will hook them up with a discount/freebie. End it at that.
You've cornered them – they can't respond to your positivity with another negative comment! If they do, the other consumers are going to see that and think the consumer was unruly anyway. If they respond with a positive comment and say they'll stop in, you have a chance to make their experience positive. At the end of the day, as long as you run a genuinely good business, you will be able to change the customer's mind.
If you maintain this mentality, you're going to avoid negative reviews that actually harm you. In addition, if you pair this with what we mentioned above, you're going to bring in a flock of positive reviews. By doing this, your online reviews are going to skyrocket in total, you're going to look more appealing to potential customers, and you're going to bring in more money.
I hope you enjoyed our guide to online reviews. If you have any questions or comments, leave a comment below and I'll get to it as soon as I can! Thanks for stopping by and reading my post right here on Crush Local.

I have no other angle than appreciation and concern. There are several presses out there but YOU (your press) have personally given so much to both the writers and readers. From what I've seen, it has always been personal with you... more about giving than business or profit. That is rare! And it speaks to how YOU, as a person, have made such a difference and have conveyed so much good will... even to lurkers like myself. But hey Doc, not to be a jerk, but your absence is hurting things. It is noticeable how this board has slowed... rather dramatically. We need you back! I can understand the difficulties you are going through... Personally, I've been through the worst too and know what it means emotionally... the desire to just maintain basic needs. But Doc, not to be a jerk, the greatness you have created in the Library does have responsibilities. People, your writers if no one else, are depending on you. I am an ass for preaching. I don't know your situation. But what I do know is that life can sometimes not be fair. All the while, one can let things be lost while struggling and not looking... things that you value and you won't know are are gone it until its too late. Believe me, I've been there. I do know how it would be awful to someday wake up from the haze only to realize its all gone while knowing a few simple steps could have averted that loss. People will understand as long as they know you're trying and are present. Those small actions you could take do tend to make you feel better. Those first steps tend to snowball...they might even lead you back to the original enthusiasm that drove you... a spark that feeds you. At least a driving reminder. Now, I've followed these boards for a long while. You are generous almost to a fault... I don't know how you make a profit. If that's the case, then change your business plan and adjust. You have created enough goodwill that people will understand one way or the other. But it seems that Library is slowing down and it does need you back. Your absence has been profound. Please make nothing more than baby steps to get involved again We know you care but are having hard times right now. There are so many of us who care about you... even a lurker like me. We will do everything we can to return the love and passion you have long given a thousands times fold. You ARE THE MAN!!! Library of the Living Dead Press needs YOU! The Library is YOU, doc. If you are not here then the Library is not here. This is the Internet age and a prolonged absence is not good. We need you back. Even if it's just you making more posts and taking more steps to be involved. There are so many of us who care and want to know how you are doing. We just want to know that you are here and okay. If not okay, then how can we help? You have built so much and have attracted so many who care. Please join us once again. We need you back. Waddya say, doc?
