Glu Mobile

Glu Mobile LLC is an American developer and publisher of mobile games. It was founded as Sorrent in 2001 and acquired Macrospace in 2004. Both companies collectively rebranded as Glu Mobile in 2005. In April 2021, the company was acquired by Electronic Arts.

History
Glu Mobile was founded as Sorrent in 2001. In December 2004, Sorrent acquired the London-based Macrospace. In June 2005 the merged company created a new corporate name: Glu Mobile. That same year, Greg Ballard replaced Sorrent founder Scott Orr as CEO. In 2006, Glu Mobile acquired iFone and in 2007 it acquired Chinese mobile game producer Beijing Zhangzhong MIG Information Technology Co. Ltd. ("MIG"). In September 2007, Glu announced the launch of Asteroids for mobile phones. In March 2008, Glu acquired San Clemente-based mobile developer Superscape.

In January 2010, Niccolo de Masi joined Glu Mobile as the President and CEO. De Masi was previously CEO at Hands-On Mobile. Since his arrival, Glu has transitioned to a freemium business model focused around Glu's original IP.

On August 2, 2011, Glu acquired Griptonite Games and Blammo Games. Its staff of 200 "approximately double[d]" Glu's internal development capacity.

In April 2012, Glu acquired the entire Deer Hunter franchise.

Glu Mobile bought Gamespy Technologies (the entity responsible for GameSpy multiplayer services) from IGN Entertainment in August 2012, and proceeded in December to raise integration costs and shut down servers for many older games, including the Star Wars: Battlefront series, Sniper Elite, Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Neverwinter Nights, with no warning to developers or consumers. GameSpy Technologies remained operational and did not make any announcements of an impending shutdown; the two GameSpy companies were separate entities and only related by name. Glu also shut down online multiplayer servers for several titles on the Nintendo DS and Wii, such as Mario Kart DS, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Mario Kart Wii. Glu shut down the rest of Gamespy effective on May 31, 2014.

On September 3, 2014, PlayFirst was acquired by Glu. The official statement from Glu Mobile CEO Niccolo de Masi read "We are pleased to officially add PlayFirst to the Glu family and look forward to delivering new DASH products to a worldwide audience."

In April 2015, Chinese company Tencent paid $126 million for a 15% stake in Glu Mobile. It had 20.8% as of 2017.

On November 4th, 2016, Glu purchased the mobile app developer Crowdtap buying their mobile games including Covet Fashion.

On December 22, 2016, it was announced that Glu Mobile had acquired the trivia game QuizUp for US$7.5 million. On January 20, 2021, QuizUp was removed from appstores, and on January 21, 2021, it was announced that QuizUp will be discontinued on March 22, 2021. Since then, all purchases are disabled.

In November 2016, Nick Earl became CEO. The majority stake of Glu shares are held by institutions: at the start of the third quarter of 2012, institutional ownership was 78% of the outstanding shares according to Google Finance.

Electronic Arts announced in February 2021 that it plans to acquire Glu in a deal estimated at US$2.4 billion. On the same day of the announcement of the deal, it was revealed that the companies expect the acquisition to close in the second quarter of 2021. In April 2021, EA completed the acquisition of Glu Mobile. Following the shutdown of EA Sports MLB Tap Sports and F1 Mobile Racing mobile games, EA announced it would lay off "a small number of staff" from Glu Mobile. Glu Mobile's 2021 Q4 earnings and revenues surpassed estimates.

HELP was launched in 2001 to address a crucial problem; needs in higher education and skills learning, in many developing countries. It facilitates sustainable social and personal development while promoting higher education.
 * Higher Education and Learning Program (HELP)

HELP has two segments, built around the needs of youth in under-privileged countries. Higher Education will target those who have the will and merit to continue their studies but cannot afford the tuition fees and other related expenses. The Learning Program aims at providing vocational training to young people in fields compatible with the region's demands to help them acquire skills to earn their living and achieve financial independent.

The three primary areas in which HCI carried on programs to achieve its charitable purposes during the fiscal period ending 2009-03-31 are: 65% literacy/education/training programs; 17% disaster/war relief; 10% infrastructure development.

Financial Arrangements
The total expenditures of HCI on activities, programs and projects carried on outside Canada during the fiscal period ending 2009-03-31, excluding gifts to qualified donees, is 7,892,935 Canadian dollars. HCI's total expenditure on all compensation during the fiscal period ending 2009-03-31 is 194,639 Canadian dollars. HCI exported medical supplies during the fiscal period ending 2009-03-31 as part of its charitable programs valued 5,344,797 Canadian dollars.

Controversies
HCI reportedly began in 1979 to support the people in Afghanistan. Dedicated to feeding and schooling orphans, the organisation co-sponsored a Human Rights day at Pennsylvania State University in 1986.

The charity was put under closer scrutiny after Osama bin Laden told a 1995 interviewer that "The bin-Laden Establishment's aid covers 13 countries... this aid comes in particular from the Human Concern International Society"

Ahmed Khadr headed HCI's Pakistan office until his arrest in 1995 for that bombing of the Egyptian Embassy in Pakistan that was allegedly carried out with HCI funds. Under his leadership, the Hope Village Orphanage was created in Akora Khattak.

HCI denies its own involvement and describes Khadr as a volunteer from 1988 to 1995, working in Pakistan and Afghanistan on relief and development projects.

In 1996, the Pakistani press accused HCI's Peshawar office of being made up of Al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya members, who supported the overthrow of the secular Egyptian government in favour of a Sharia state.

Canada cut off government financing in 1997 to HCI. As of 2000 the group was being investigated by the United States. In 1999, the group filed an application for judicial review of a decision by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) to refuse funding the organization's activities. It claimed it was being discriminated against by Canadian government officials. The group maintains its registration in Canada (BN/Registration Number: 107497125RR0001). In 2003, Richard A. Clarke testified before the U.S. Congress that HCI "reportedly received at least $250,000 in funding from the Canadian government."

An organization based in the U.S. and named Human Concern International was one of ten Islamic charities noted by Spanish police in 2002 for allegedly financing Algerian Muslim rebels.

HCI reported that it is not the organization referred to in these allegations and that it has offices only in Canada, Lebanon, Pakistan and Guyana. The Security Intelligence Review Committee recommended Canadian Security Intelligence Service to retract the statement and apologize to the group.

Apology from the National Post
The National Post apologized, on April 26, 2004, for a March 6, 2004 editorial. The apology said, in part:

 * "The National Post has no reason to believe that there is evidence of any misuse of HCI funds to support terrorism. HCI itself has never been accused of terrorism or of supporting terrorism. The Post has no reason to believe that any of its other volunteers or staff have been accused of terrorism or of supporting terrorism.

 * "Incorrect information appeared in an editorial in the National Post of March 6. The National Post apologizes to HCI, its board of directors, volunteers and donors for any harm or embarrassment its errors may have caused."

Arrest of then-regional head of Human Concern International Pakistan
In July 2019, the Counter-Terrorism Department arrested Ali Nawaz, the then-regional head of Human Concern International Pakistan, on the terror financing charge under the Anti-Terrorism Act, accusing him of diverting charity funds to Al Qaeda.

On June 15, 2020, the anti-terrorism court acquitted Ali Nawaz and five other officials who were charged by the counter terrorism department with terror financing. Judge Tariq Khan Yousafzai pronounced the acquittal of the accused before the conclusion of trial by accepting their application filed under Section 265-K of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). The provision empowers the trial court to acquit an accused at any stage of the trial if there is no probability of his/her conviction on the basis of available evidence.

The allegations were never against Human Concern International, and as such HCI continues to work in Pakistan, and in fact recently had their status as an INGO renewed in March 2020.

Field days in Australia

Field days in Australia usually take place as part of an agricultural show, though field days focus on agricultural industry and equipment rather than livestock. A Landcare Australia survey conducted in 1992/93 revealed Australian farmers place a high value on field days.

New South Wales
The Australian National Field Days which began in 1952 is an annual agricultural exhibition held at Orange, New South Wales each year. Field days have been held at Henty since 1963, and are held in the third week of September each year. Over 60,000 people visit over the three-day period Tuesday to Thursday. There are over 600 exhibitors each year, and it is one of the largest in Australia and displays new agricultural equipment and technology for farmers. The event is now held at a permanent all-weather rural exhibition site with broad display avenues including a square kilometre (250 acres) of car parking and an on-site airstrip.

AgQuip, held in August at Gunnedah, attracts over 100,000 visitors. It is sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank, and started in 1973. Murrumbidgee Farm Fair is a Field Day which began in 1988 is held at the Yanco Agricultural Institute in Yanco which is held over two days in May of each year and attracting 15,000 visitors. A field day is held each year at Murrumbateman in October and has about 20,000 visitors. They began in 1979.

Queensland
In Queensland, the largest field days in that state is held in Kingsthorpe near Toowoomba attracting over 60,000 visitors and the event is sponsored by CRT known as CRT FarmFest.

South Australia
The Yorke Peninsula Field Days held every second year at Paskeville are the oldest field days in Australia (dating from 1895) and the largest in South Australia. Other field days are held at Barmera in the Riverland (annually since 1958), Cleve on the Eyre Peninsula and Lucindale in the south east of the state.

Tasmania
The Field days in Tasmania are run by Rural Youth organisation of Tasmania. They are held over three days in May each year at the 200 acre site in Carrick. They had previously been held at a smaller site in Simmons plains. Today Agfest is Tasmania's premier agricultural event, with over 64,000 people attending in 2008.

Victoria
The field days at Elmore commenced in 1964. There is now a permanent site with pavilions, conference rooms and catering facilities which is hired out for events other than the field days which are held in early October. In 2004 there were 45,000 visitors. The Mallee Machinery Field Days are held at Speed and commenced in 1979. The Notman Pasture Seeds Farm Field Days are held at Poowong, Victoria & Walcha and commenced in 1987. The Farm Field Days have been presented some of the most experiences professionals in the fields of pasture, cropping, fertiliser, dairying and economics along with insights into Australia's agriculture industry. In 2014 over 400 local farmers attended the Poowong Farm Field Day with speakers including Andrew Allsop (Notman Pasture Seeds), John Mulvany, Steve Monegetti, David Barry, Matt Hall, Adam Fisher, John Gallienne, and Peter Notman.

Western Australia
For many years, three major field days focusing on grain growing and pastoral farming have been held annually in Western Australia, at Dowerin, Newdegate and Mingenew.

Field days commenced at Dowerin in September 1965; they claim to be the longest established field days in Western Australia. They are now known as the Dowerin GWN Machinery Field Days, naming rights having been granted to regional television broadcaster Golden West Network (GWN) since 1992.

The Dowerin field days are traditionally held on the last Wednesday and Thursday in August each year. Over the two days, the small Dowerin community swells from a population of a few hundred to over 24,000. In 2015, the number of exhibitors reached 700.

In 1973, a machinery field day was held for the first time in Newdegate. Ten years later, in 1983, the organisers announced that that event would be expanded to cover two days. Also in 1983, the inaugural Mingenew Rural Exposition was held.

, the three events, known as the Dowerin GWN7 Machinery Field Days, the Newdegate Machinery Field Days, and the Mingenew Midwest Expo, respectively, were being held over a two day period in August or early September each year.

In 1997, the Margaret River Wine Industry Field Day (now known as the Landmark Wine Industry Field Day) was first held with 80 exhibitors, showcasing the latest viticultural and oenological technology. Since that time it has changed to a biennial event and grown to over 200 exhibitors. It is held in Cowaramup.

 * Delete "This list is incomplete". Do tell. This list is bloody near nonexistent, and not likely to grow any larger in any hurry. Denni ☯ 03:14, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Why not? Kappa 03:36, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Because despite its being created in July 2003 (and so more than two years for growth already) and having had the gentle ministrations of no less than eleven editors, it still has only one more competition than what it began with. Its edits have been almost entirely housekeeping edits, and for all intents and purposes, its content has remained unchanged since the Decathlon was added. Even being placed on AfD, which is often a kiss of life for weak articles, seems to have done it no good. As it stands, it is out-and-out useless since both items it lists already have stand-alone articles. While I have nothing against the idea of a good article on the topic, this is not it, and at its present rate of growth, is not likely to become it. Denni ☯ 22:25, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Co.

Untitled
It is disgusting to see how low certain men can stoop to hold women's rights back in this day of "civilized" society. The case is a tragedy through and through. Unfortunately there are still women who has to suffer through harassment and discrimination as we regularly can see in the news. One of the more offensive ones were the Mitsubishi plant in the midwest, again... --Lindus 21:23, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

The last line reads: "On December 30, 1998, just before the trial was set to begin, fifteen women settled with Eveleth Mines for a total of $3.5 million." I interpreted this as some women backing out in exchange of a settlement, and left me wondering what happened during the trial. Is this just my fault, or could it be phrased in a way to avoid this wrong interpretation? Daniel Bonniot de Ruisselet 12:28, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Date discrepancies
I have corrected the dates cited in this article to conform with those found at, which appears to be a reliable source. MovieMadness (talk) 13:27, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

A business manager has to be careful and ensure that he/she follows the best possible plan in order to achieve the desired organizational goal which is to maximize the profits.[3] 49.204.194.67 (talk) 16:45, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

I've removed the masthead image again, replacing it with a plain copy of the logo; stylistic issues aside, this puts us on better legal grounds with regard to fair use. Shimgray | talk | 21:24, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Yikes! Banner Ad?
That banner really looks like advertising. --345Kai 17:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Abc seal.gif
Image:Abc seal.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

National_Space_Society
This section (ideally) shouldn't have the list of youtube links in it. For now, because I've made some major changes to align more with El, I will leave them. At this point the changes that I've made make the article more uniform in light of the Manual of Style. Thanks E_dog95'  Hi ' 04:06, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

The result of the debate was KEEP  Rob e  rt  23:26, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

List of case sensitive English words
This list seems to be a blatant violation of Wikipedia Is Not A Dictionary. No encyclopedic content. Delete. Angr/undefined 21:25, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Might be encyclopedic if a discussion on how different words come to have the same or simialr spellings, and the list was used asn an illustration, or even if some analysis if the included words and their sources was presnet. (Besides several of the entries are currently incorrect: for example "see" in the sense of the seat of a Bishop's authority is capitalized only when part of a specific proper name, when discussed in general it is not.) DES (talk) 21:35, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Now I improved the intro. BTW, Holy See and similar are not proper names, as they can be precedeed by an uncapitalized article (i.e. "the Holy See"). Proper names are never precedeed by an article, unless the article is part of the name, in which case the article would be capitalized too. (E.g. A Clockwork Orange or The Cure.) --Army1987 17:51, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * keep interesting and maintainable. I don't understand the invocation of WP:WINAD, since it's hard to imagine a dictionary having such a list in it. Compare the excellent and useful List of words having different meanings in British and American English for what this could become with a little work. — brighterorange  (talk) 21:38, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * keep but needs to be seriously worked and expanded.Hektor 22:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Not the sort of thing found in most dictionaries at all. Part of an encyclopaedia of language, which is clearly one of Wikipedia's roles. CalJW 22:33, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is moderately interesting, and eminently maintainable. It's just the kind of thing we can have in Wikipedia which Britannica wouldn't have. I don't agree with the WINAD point, since it gives no definitions. -Splash talk 23:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, quirky but interesting, and not likely to go on for too long... --MacRusgail 15:54, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Redeye piranha

Any reason we're copying text directly from Fishbase?
The article says: The redeye piranha occurs in the rapids but is also captured in deep zones of main rivers with the use of fish bait. It is essentially a carnivore, feeding on small fish, crabs, mammals, lizards and coleopteran insects. Its opportunistic behavior allows it to adapt to various biotopes. While generally timid and non-aggressive, the redeye piranha possesses powerful dentition that can cause serious bites and is therefore potentially dangerous. Import is prohibited in some areas. Fishbase says: Occurs in the rapids but is also captured in deep zones of main rivers with the use of fish bait. Is essentially a carnivore, feeds on small fish, crabs, mammals, lizards and coleopteran insects. Its opportunistic behavior allows it to adapt to various biotopes (Ref. 12225). It is timid and not aggressive but it possesses powerful dentition that can cause serious bites, and is therefore, potentially dangerous. Import is prohibited in some areas. However, the incorporation of this species in fish-based house security systems has been proposed...

Black Piranha
This species is also called 'Black Piranha' and i feel it should be included in the article..--Ltshears (talk) 16:33, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
