Re: Showing the best performers of the Beta

Did i miss a post somewhere? What is this thread in reference to?
I think this was already answered but they say this week they will be posting the results of the best performers, or something to that effect. Is when you first start up the BETA it's there and I think on the thread where non-PS+ players can see the beta code as well.
BTW Ceases is the best consistent performer I've played with/against...Constant 17-0, 18-0, 18-1 range. Yikes!

Re: Showing the best performers of the Beta
Its easy to make kill when you gangbang or double team, for me if a warrior want to be known has a true warrior fight 1v1 is the way to go....
so far since day one, I saw some great warrior that can fight and some that are just..... ill leave it blank
it easy to get great amounts of kills when you just steal or just double teamed the guy
their should be a mode 1v1 no magic nor bonus item, for the ones who like to brag.
Re: Showing the best performers of the Beta
Re: Showing the best performers of the Beta
This is certainly a good question. We will at least show a segment of the best since the last profile reset, may not go before that. Depends on much I can get out of our stat guy while he works on the final game.
Every day is community day!
Re: Showing the best performers of the Beta
Can we expect another Beta to come out??? I love this Beta and will be super sad to see it go. Plus I'm not fully upgraded on my Ares yet. IDC if the stats get reset again, I just like this MP and want to play it still

Before we tell you how to organize files on Windows, you need some essential information. When you click on the start button at the bottom of the root window that comes up when you startup your PC, you get a pop-up list showing various divisions available for access. Click on My Computer (you may also see an icon on your startup window that says My Computer and you can click on that instead). Up will come a window showing the various drives you have on your PC. These are named with a letter. C is the main drive, where the system files reside.
Let Windows organize your files for you, as much as it can.
Now, a drive is not a disk. A drive could take up all of a disk, but a disk may also be partitioned so that it will contain more than one drive. If this is the case, don't be surprised if you see a D drive even though you have only one disk. It's only the partition. If you are installing your operating system, you might want to partition your disk first. You can partition them so that you have a C drive, a D drive, and so on. You don't need to partition to know how to organize files, but consider, most necessary programs go on the C drive. Better to put all your data on another drive, thus reducing the possibility of messing up your system files.
It also makes storage easy, because you just store the D drive, not the entire system if all files were in the main drive.
Let's assure you're going to put your files on the C drive. Now, files are grouped by folders. The folder icon looks life a folder. You don't need to know how to organize files when it comes to operating system files. Microsoft has done all that for you (see how the C drive contains a folder for Programs, and so on).
In fact, Windows has made knowing how to organize files for a user elementary. It has a file on the main drive called Documents and Settings. The C drive contain a folder named Documents and Settings. If you click the icon, it'll show another group of folders, folders for each user of the system. When a user was created, a folder for this user was also created. You'll see a folder for your own user name. Click on it and you'll see a number of folders with names starting with My. There's My Videos, My Documents, etc. Microsoft seems to know how to organize files for you, because these folders will take care of most of your file structuring needs.
You can add a folder to your own folder now. Right click the folder window. Click on New Folder. A new folder is created and awaits your naming it. As you have seen, a folder can contain other folders. That's how you structure the folder and organize your files. There it is. By creating folders and folders within folders, you know how to organize your files. What could be easier? Thanks Microsoft!

text: Last year I decided to look seriously into starting a few hives but found it was a little late into the season to start. Since Ive spent my time visiting this site, reading the prescribed books, and I am now looking forward to getting my packages in April. Lady Luck has shone upon me too. A friend has a bee Tree that fell in a storm around Thanksgiving whos occupants need to be collected when the weather turns so the yard clean up can be completed. Hopefully Ill get started with three hives.


text:
I was checking a suddenly weak hive yesterday and found the queen in the honey super with an egg attached that she was dragging around. Very spotty brood through out the hive, almost like she was able to lay in a few spots and missed dozens of polished cells. We watched as she backed into a cell and a few moments later exited with probably the same egg attached to her. I had never seen this before.
Prior to this, if I saw the spotty brood, I would just assume it was a failing queen, even though this hive was requeened this last spring and was doing fine great mid August according to my notes, where she was found and put in the bottom super. Now that I've seen her dragging this egg around and thinking she has deposited it, could she be sick or is this is one of the signs of failing?
This hive still has a lot of bees, about half the amount as my other hives and a bunch of capped brood, even though it very spotty. It was easy to notice the last few days as there were not as many bees flying compared to other hives (a good reason to have at least 2 hives to check them against each other) and we still have a lot of bloom. I will probably divide the bees up and add them to other hives (I don't have another weak hive) since I'm wanting to reduce the number of hives I'm taking care of anyways.
By the way, you guys are great, kudos to you all.
Thanks, Janet

|Check-in before
The apartment was very clean.It was new and it had everything necessary. The hostess even left tea, coffee, salt,etc which we very much appreciated as we arrived to the apartment very late at night and didn't have the time to do the shopping. It was very quiet and it was only a 5-minute walk to the tube station.
My mother and I had a great stay in this appartment. It was very nice and clean. Super with free wifi.
The air inside the appartment could be a little humid when ising the radiator, but it could be fixed by oppening the window.
The booking and arriving was very efficient and we felt that it was safe. Olga (only per mail) and Andrey the housekeeper were very friendly and helpful.
Queens Park tube station was very close - about 5 min walk and supermarkets about 10 min away. There was a lot of take away places in the area and a few restaurants.
It takes about 20-25 min from the appartment to Oxford Circus by Underground.
All in all a great place to stay when in London.
place was very clean, Julia (the maid) was very nice and helpful, most definitely this apartment can be recommended. However instead of changing the door locks all the time (which is rather noisy), owner should think about plastic (like hotel) keys.
We had a good time at Olgas appartement. The room was simple and clean, the equipment was functional. It was a short walk to the tube and nearby the apartment there are several possibilities to eat and to buy food.
Julia, the housekeeper was very nice and alway ready to help us.
Nice apartment very confortavel and silence at 2 min walking to Queens Park station. A lot of stores, restorants, cafes and facilities in the neighbour. Strongly Recomended
My son and grandson were very happy with the wonderful accommodations I booked for them. They were very impressed with the Christmas tree which provided the perfect touch as their stay was over Christmas. The location was just perfect ,close to everything . I know they will be back again .
Olga and Eduards place is perfect for a stay in London. There´re very nice and try to help as much as they can.
The apartment is located 3 minutes from the Bakerloo Metro Line, that takes you right in the citycenter.
The room was very clean, everything was new and worked perfectly.
The house is located near the rails of the overground and the metro, so it´s getting a bit louder when the windows are open. But we were never disturbed by this.
We will definitly come back there for our next visit to London and are going to recommend it to our friends.
Olga & her husband were excellent hosts. They've helped us settle in and helped with any questions we had along the stay.
The place itself was also very clean, everything was brand new and it was a very cosy stay.
Thanks for everything!

Starting Position: Stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointing forward, with arms by your sides. Engage your abdominal muscles to stabilize your spine. Keep the chest lifted and your chin tilted slightly up.
Exhale and pull the shoulder blades down and back. Do not allow the low back to arch. Hold the contraction for 5-10 seconds for a total of 2-4 repetitions.
Exercise Variations:
. Perform the exercise on one shoulder at a time.
. Isolate the two movements. Perform scapulae depression (pull the shoulder(s) down and hold the contraction for 5-10 seconds. Then perform scapulae retraction (pull the shoulder(s) back and hold the contraction for 5-10 seconds. Repeat 2-4 repetitions of each exercise on both shoulders.
. This exercise can be performed lying on your back. Starting position: Lying on your back on a matt with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. The hips bone, knee, and second toe should be aligned. Place your arms by yours side with palms facing up. Continue with the listed steps.
Be sure to exhale with each contraction to help you achieve the desired range of motion. Keep the abdominals engaged to prevent any increase in lumbar lordosis (inward curvature of the back).

Would someone that used velcro to attach their armor to their vest post a pic please? I want an example for my vest
Would someone that used velcro to attach their armor to their vest post a pic please? I want an example for my vest
In this thread, DarthMiller posted a pic of the vest I made for him, with Velcro. Is this what you need?
batninja said:
How well does that velcro hold up? (industrial strength?)
Did you sew it on or hotglue?
I'm about to finish my BM armour to attach to your vest, but haven't decided on velcro or snaps yet.
I used regular the 'hook' side of sticky-back Industrial Velcro for the back of the armor. Once that stuff sits on there for a few days, it does NOT come off!
For the vest, I used the 'loop' side of sew-on version of Industrial Velcro.
The good thing is that you get a strong hold, but you waste as much Velcro as you use. My machine doesn't like sewing the 'hook' side of regular Velcro (too many tension snags), so I don't even use it. I end up throwing all the scraps away.
i know that feeling. that's what i did with my armor too. in the end you have the worst half of both kinds of velcro to store safely in your favorite waste receptacle.batninja said:
yup that's what I needed, I have a question though. Do I have to sew it on or can I just use the sticky stuff like you did on the armor? Would that hold?
I doubt it. After a couple washing, I would bet that the sticky stuff will come out. Also, I'd recommend NOT sewing over the sticky stuff, as it will gum up the sewing needle (experience here).

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
State Senator Lazich's Weekly Insight
The State Senate This Week
This week the State Senate concluded the last 2013-2014 General Business Floor Period. In true bi-partisan fashion the senate approved the Silver Alert Program, two additional Heroin, Opiate Prevention and Education (HOPE) measures, and the Cancer Treatment Fairness Act, known as the Oral Chemo bill. Retiring legislators gave farewell speeches. Click here to see Tuesday April 1, 2014, State Senate Calendar.
I applaud colleagues on both sides of the aisle for coming together and governing for the common good of all Wisconsinites during our final floor period. We put aside differences to approve legislation that improves the safety and well-being of our constituents.
Some of the bi-partisan bills sent to Governor Walker's Desk for final approval are:
Assembly Bill 710, creating a statewide Silver Alert program to notify media and law enforcement about missing adults suffering from dementia or cognitive disabilities.
Senate Bill 300, The Cancer Treatment Fairness Act, as amended, allows insurance companies to choose either coverage parity between all forms of chemotherapy, or cap out-of-pocket costs to not more than $100 for a 30-day supply of oral chemotherapy drugs.
Assembly Bill 701 (AB 701) and Assembly Bill 702 (AB 702), are the two final components of the Heroin, Opiate Prevention and Education (HOPE) agenda. AB 701 creates up to three opioid treatment programs to provided treatment for opiate addiction in the state's rural and underserved areas. AB 702 directs the Department of Correction to create a system of short-term sanctions for addicts violating parole to protect the public and to swiftly correct the offender's behavior by holding them accountable.
Governor Scott Walker Signs Additional Election Reforms into Law
This week Governor Walker signed four additional election reform measures I authored into law. Governor Walker's signature of SB 262, SB 264, SB 265, and SB 267, concludes a successful legislative session for Wisconsin electors and for fairness, transparency, and uniformity during Wisconsin elections.
The bills I authored are the product of observations at the Racine recount and input from other stakeholders. Unfortunately by many accounts the process at Racine appeared sloppy and disorderly. Wisconsin electors deserve better. Election reform measures signed into law this session provide assurance that elections are administered in a fair and transparent manner.
Senate Bill 262, Act 179, provides a uniform procedure for election officials administering damaged ballots and/or over voted ballots. Existing law did not require damaged or over voted ballots to be marked in a consistent or uniform manner. This created problems and confusion during recounts. Working with the Government Accountability Board, we were able to identify a uniform location on ballots to record this information. This bill ensures uniform treatment will ease the administration of recounts.
Senate Bill 265, Act 181, ensures political parties with the statutory responsibility to staff elections have trusted election inspectors at each polling place performing each task. The bill requires, insofar as practical, each party have representation on each specific job requiring two or more inspectors within the polling place.
Senate Bill 264, Act 180, guarantees the chief inspector and one other inspector with party affiliation different than the chief inspector secure the ballot container. I drafted this legislation in response to observations during the Racine recount. During the Racine recount ballots were not secured in locked or sealed tamper-evident containers as the law requires. SB 264 requires the chief inspector and a poll worker of the opposite party to secure the ballot boxes. This bill assures accountability in case a problem arises.
Senate Bill 267, Act 182, is a comprehensive proof of residence bill that greatly improves the accuracy of elector registrations. The Wisconsin Constitution, Article 3, Section 1, provides that "Every United States citizen age 18 or older who is a resident of an election district in this state is a qualified elector of that district." SB 267 enforces the Constitutional requirement that electors are residents of the district that they vote, by ensuring proof of residence is presented and properly documented at the time an elector registers to vote, retaining an exception for military and overseas voters.
Wisconsin Ranks Second Place
This week the Midwest Food Processors Association (MWFPA) announced Wisconsin ranked second nationally for total production and total value of processing vegetables during 2013.

Marquette Report Outlines Positive future for SE Wisconsin Manufacturing

The Supreme Court Determines Individual Aggregate Contribution Limits Unconstitutional
This week the United States Supreme Court issued its decision for the McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission case, striking down as unconstitutional federal limits on the aggregate amount individuals may contribute to federal candidate campaigns. Chief Justice Roberts, writing for the majority, wrote that the First Amendment rights of donors are violated by the individual aggregate contribution limit. The decision includes, "the Government may no more restrict how many candidates or causes a donor may support than it may tell a newspaper how many candidates it may endorse." Wisconsin also has an aggregate limit that is currently challenged in state court. With the U.S. Supreme Court's McCutcheon decision, it seems likely the Wisconsin limit will also be struck down. The decision does not impact contribution limits to individual candidates.

Hey I was wondering if anybody would be going to the wonder-con in San Francisco next year Feb 22-24. I hope to go.
I live here, so you know I will be there!!!
i will also be there considering i live in the bay area now
awesome! What costumes will you guys be going in?
Of Course I'll be there at our GGG (501st Table) in BH
ill most likely be there too
I go every year!
See you all there!
Probably Vader, maybe the new ANH one, or... perhaps... I will have my ESB BF done
Never been, you GGG guys invited me last year though. How big of a Con is it??
Have not been myself. The guys who run it told me it was pretty big. Pennywise says it is a great event. Can anyone shed some light on this?
I'll probably go to wondercon this year. Only a 3.5 hr drive.
I have familiy in Palo Alto so I might go. it's only a 50 minute drive into the city. like BF said, if anyone has attended before please share what we can expect.
According to the Wonder con website, these are the expected special guest so far Sergio Aragonés, Kurt Busiek, Becky Cloonan, Darwyn Cooke, Mark Evanier, Steve Leialoha, Tim Sale, J. Michael Straczynski, Bruce Timm, Bill Willingham, and more.
I'm now trying to get my friend to go and pitch in on a hotel. I didn't want to have to drive all the way up from San Diego (8 hrs) by myself, stay in a hotel room and attempt to suit up without help so I'm hoping he doesn't back out on me now.
I'm planning on going. I'll hopefully stay at the Marriott.
Just booked a room!!! I'll see ya'll there. I'll be in Jango. Pricey though, for the Marriott.
just booked my room too at the Marriot for 4 days. I'll be traveling solo as my wife is burned out from holiday travel. this is my 1st Con with my completed ESB Fett and I'm a little worried about suiting up as some armor is next to impossible to attach by myself. if anyone needs help and/or could help me out, please let me know.

Forecasters often get blamed for blowing hot air when the weather doesn't turn out as they predicted. But nobody accuses the National Hurricane Center of anything of the sort. As the team in Miami merges the art of forecasting with a downpour of science, residents across the entire East Coast rely on their information to know how to protect their homes—and to know when to flee.
Already, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association's (NOAA) National Hurricane Center has one correct forecast: a batch of early storms over the Atlantic Ocean. And while much of the world hasn't taken notice of the rainy spell until now—Hurricane Irene was the first storm to reach hurricane status this period—this season already boasts nine storms. It's a troublesome number for so early on.
Eric Blake is a hurricane specialist with the National Hurricane Center. He says a combination of factors have already contributed to a rise in storms in 2011. Blake discussed forecasting hurricane seasons with TIME.
When is the hurricane season, and what does an average season look like?
August through October is the busiest time, and September is the peak month. But we can still see damaging landfalls in October and it is not out of the question to have a hurricane into November. An average season has about 12 storms.
How has the early season played out?
Things are going as expected. We have already had nine storms and a lot of seasons don't have nine (the official National Hurricane Center seasonal averages are for 11 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes). We are on track for the active season we forecasted.
What factors lead to an active season forecast?
There are a variety of factors. One of the things is, how warm is the Atlantic Ocean? How warm is it compared to an average year? The other factor is the status of El Niño (el neen-nyo). [El Niño is a natural shift in the way winds and ocean currents travel across the Pacific Ocean. It happens every few years and has a huge effect on weather around the world. Some countries that usually receive a lot of rainfall may suffer from droughts, while heavy rains and flooding often surprise other areas.]
Has the Atlantic Ocean been unseasonably warm?
Year after year over the longer term of 20 to 30 years, we have seen the Atlantic warmer than average, mostly due to sea-surface temperatures.
Do you gauge the power of a season on quantity or intensity of storms?
Actually both. The strength and duration of the storms is the formula we use and we combine them into Accumulated Cyclone Energy. If you get 10 short-lived storms, a couple of big ones count a lot more.
Are some seasons harsher in some specific areas and therefore lighter in others?
There has been some tendency for areas to be hit in North Carolina in one season, but it is hard to know. It is dependent on the steering currents, and those can be quite changeable in some years. Really, they can change in just a few days.
Have there been any surprises about this season?
There are always things that are a little unexpected. We had a lot of storms that didn't make hurricane status early on. It will be easier to assess the season after we have hit the middle of it.

Hello, have been doing some research on MMORPG development and obviously there needs to be a team of highly skilled graphics designers, programmers and more.
At the moment I have been working on the basics for a MMORPG. I have worked out some of the features and things such as Factions and Classes. Obviously this is only about 1% of what I need to do to make a MMORPG.
So what I am asking is, are there any people on this forum that would like to help out in making a new MMORPG?
If anything I would be the one making the website and being the Ideas Manager of this project. Would be nice to have some people offer to help out in making this successful.
Here are a few requirements:
-Can create a server to connect to many clients
-Create systems for quests, classes, fighting enemies, and skills
-Create a sql database used by the server
-Create a character setup that allows wearing equipment and clothes over the main sprite
- Can make this game happen and become successful.
This will be a FREE MMORPG and in the future may introduce an Item Mall to produce some income. When and if we do get that far those that help out will get a fair % of the earnings.
Please reply on interest and please no criticism on this.
If you want to email me then feel free to do so: email@example.com

I mainly do it because down the street these is a school park with a dirt rut thats on a small incline that people use as a shortcut into an alley way, and ofcourse, cars drive up it alot so its nothing serious, but still fun because its a small 3 second off road sesh. :neutral: lol but anyways, i did that, drove 20 seconds back home, and i prepared to back into the driveway, which ive done atleast 60 times. I like backing in because i love using my new backup camera. So im backing in, i look though the mirror, make sure i wont back into the gas meters or the gas pylon, it looks like im clear, so i back in, next thing you know, **SCREECH*** **METAL ON METAL** . my first words "OH SHI*, OH FU**, i dont immediately get out, im flipping out, so i try to calmly pull forward, more ***SCREECH**** ERRGGG*** so i finally professionally back in, i get out, expecting the worse on my bumper as well as the gas meter... so i run to the back of the truck, look at the bumper, i see nothing? i use my phone as a light, all i see is a tiny scuff on the plastidip, on the very bottom on the bumper, where it scapped it when i backed over it, i run over to the gas meter, where i see nothing on it? only a tiny scuff, my truck was barely high enough off the ground to barely scuff my plasti dipped bumper, if my truck was atleast 1cm lower i wouldve been f***ed. That was about the time i was thanking God for high-off-the-ground (lol) trucks. Well thats the last time i back in without double checking. If i wouldve hit that, it wouldve caused a major fire. So that was the highlight of my day, im still a little shakenh:

The Board follows, as far as practicable, the recommendations in the Corporate Governance Code for Small and Mid-size Quoted Companies published by the QCA. As an Israeli company, the Company also complies with the corporate governance provisions of Israel's Companies Law, 5759-1999
The Board is responsible to shareholders for effective direction and control of the Group and this report describes the framework for corporate governance and internal control that the directors have established to enable them to carry out this responsibility. As an AIM listed company, the Company is not required to comply with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the "Code") and this is not a statement of compliance as required by the Code. However, the Directors recognise the importance of sound corporate governance and, accordingly, comply with the Code, to the extent they believe appropriate for a company of its nature and size. The Board also follow, as far as practicable, the recommendations in the Corporate Governance Code for Small and Mid-size Quoted Companies published by the QCA in May 2013 (the "QCA Guidelines"), which have become a widely recognised benchmark for corporate governance of small and mid-size quoted companies, particularly AIM companies. As an Israeli company, the Company also complies with the corporate governance provisions of Israel's Companies Law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law").
The Board is responsible for the overall strategy and financial performance of the Group and has a formal schedule of matters reserved for its approval. Each Board meeting is preceded by a clear agenda and any relevant information is provided to directors in advance of the meeting. The Company has established properly constituted audit, remuneration and nomination Committees of the Board (in accordance with the Companies Law) with formally delegated duties and responsibilities. Terms of reference for each of these committees can be found on the Company's website (www.plus500.com).
An evaluation of Board performance is assessed on an annual basis via questionnaire and detailed board discussion.
The Board also holds regular telephone calls to update the members on operational and other business. An agreed procedure exists for directors in the furtherance of their duties to take independent professional advice. Newly appointed directors are to be made aware of their responsibilities through the company secretary. The Company provides training to directors where required. No individual or group of directors dominates the Board's decision making. Collectively, the nonexecutive directors bring a valuable range of expertise in assisting the Group to achieve its strategic aims. Since the Company's admission to the AIM in July 2013, the roles of chairman and chief executive officer have been separate. The chairman is responsible for the effective running of the Board and the chief executive is ultimately responsible for all operational matters and the financial performance of the Group.
In accordance with the Companies Law, the Board must always have at least two External Directors who meet certain statutory requirements of independence. The Company's External Directors are currently Charles Fairbairn and Daniel King. The term of office of an External Director is three years, which can be extended for two additional three year terms. Under the Companies Law, External Directors are elected by shareholders by a special majority and may be removed from office only in limited cases. Any committee of the Board must include at least one External Director and the Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee must each include all of the External Directors (including one External Director serving as the chair of the Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee), and a majority of the members of each of the Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee must comply with the director independence requirements prescribed by the Companies Law.
The Remuneration Committee has responsibility for determining, within the agreed terms of reference, the Group's policy on the remuneration packages of the Company's chief executive, the chairman, the executive and non-executive directors, the Company secretary and other senior executives. The Remuneration Committee also has responsibility for: (i) recommending to the Board a compensation policy for directors and executives and monitoring its implementation; (ii) approving and recommending to the Board and the Company's shareholders, the total individual remuneration package of the chairman, each executive and non-executive director and the chief executive officer (including bonuses, incentive payments and share options or other share awards); and (iii) approving and recommending to the Board the total individual remuneration package of the Company secretary and all other senior executives (including bonuses, incentive payments and share options or other share awards), in each case within the terms of the Group's policy and in consultation with the chairman of the Board and/or the chief executive officer. No Director or manager may be involved in any discussions as to their own remuneration.
The Remuneration Committee comprises Daniel King, Penelope Judd and Charles Fairbairn and is chaired by Daniel King and operates under written terms of reference.
The nomination Committee has responsibility for reviewing the structure, size and composition (including the skills, knowledge and experience) of the Board, and giving full consideration to succession planning. It also has responsibility for recommending new appointments to the Board.
The Nomination Committee comprises Daniel King, Gal Haber and Charles Fairbairn and is chaired by Daniel King. In accordance with the Companies Law, the term of office of Charles Fairbairn and Daniel King, the Company's External Directors, continues until July 2016, and they will also be standing for re-election at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting and all committee members were present. Gal Haber did not participate in the meeting of the Nomination Committee concerning the proposal to re-nominate him for election to the Board. The Nomination Committee's members believe that the directors put forward for re-election at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting continue to be effective and demonstrate commitment to their role. The Nomination Committee and Board unanimously recommend the re-election of all Board members offering themselves for re-election.
The Audit Committee has responsibility for ensuring that the financial performance of the Group is properly reported on and reviewed, and its role includes monitoring the integrity of the financial statements of the Group (including annual and interim accounts and results announcements), reviewing internal control and risk management systems, reviewing any changes to accounting policies, reviewing and monitoring the extent of the non-audit services undertaken by external auditors and advising on the appointment of external auditors. In addition, under the Companies Law, the Audit Committee is required to monitor deficiencies in the administration of the Company, including by consulting with the internal auditor and independent accountants, to review, classify and approve related party transactions and extraordinary transactions, to review the internal auditor's audit plan and to establish and monitor whistle-blower procedures.
The Audit Committee comprises Charles Fairbairn, Penelope Judd and Daniel King, and is chaired by Charles Fairbairn. The committee operates under written terms of reference and meets at least twice a year with the Company's external auditors, and with the executive directors present by invitation only. The committee meets with the external auditors without the executive directors present as it considers appropriate.
The Regulatory and Risk Committee is chaired by Penelope Judd and its other members are Charles Fairbairn, Elad Even-Chen and Asaf Elimelech.
The Regulatory and Risk Committee is expected to meet not less than twice a year and otherwise as required. The Regulatory & Risk Committee has responsibility for reviewing relationships with the regulatory authorities and reviewing the adequacy and quality of the Group's systems and procedures for compliance with regulatory requirements where the Group is regulated and in other jurisdictions where the Group has a significant presence. The Regulatory and Risk Committee also has responsibility for reviewing the Company's most significant risks to the achievement of strategic objectives, review the Company's risk policy, ensure that the Company's board ethics are being adhered to and the Company continues its commitment to issues concerning social responsibility. The type of most significant risks and uncertainties are outlined herein.
The Company has procedures for the disclosure and review of any conflicts, or potential conflicts, of interest in compliance with the Companies Law, which the directors may have and for the authorisation of such conflict matters by the Board.
Under the Companies Law, any transaction of the Company with a director or any transaction of the Company in which a director has a personal interest requires the approval of the Board. The transaction must not be approved if it is adverse to the Company's interest. If the transaction is an extraordinary transaction (i.e. a transaction that is not in the ordinary course of business, that is not on market terms or that is likely to have a material impact on a company's profitability, assets or liabilities), then Audit Committee approval is required in addition to Board approval. If the transaction concerns exculpation, indemnification, insurance or compensation of the director, then the approvals of the Remuneration Committee, the Board and the shareholders by way of ordinary resolution are required (in that order). A director who has a personal interest in a matter that is considered at a meeting of the Board, the Audit Committee or the Remuneration Committee may not attend that meeting or vote on that matter, unless a majority of the Board, the Audit Committee or the Remuneration Committee, as applicable, has a personal interest in the matter. If a majority of the Board, the Audit Committee or the Remuneration Committee, as applicable, has a personal interest in the transaction, the shareholder approval, by way of ordinary resolution, is also required.
The authorisation of a conflict matter, and the terms of authorisation, may be reviewed at any time by the Board. The Board considers that these procedures are operating effectively. There have been no matters arising requiring assessment by the board as a potential conflict during the year.
The Company encourages the participation of both institutional and private investors. The Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Asaf Elimelech, and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Elad Even-Chen, meet regularly with institutional investors, usually in regard to the issuance of half and full year results. Communication with private individuals is maintained through the Annual General Meeting and the Company's annual and interim reports. The chairmen of the Company's audit, remuneration and nomination Committees are made available to answer questions at the Company's Annual General Meetings. In addition, further details on the strategy and performance of the Company can be found at its website (www.plus500.com), which includes copies of the Company's press releases. Regular updates are provided to the Board on meetings with shareholders and analysts, and broker's opinions are made available to the Board. Non-executive directors are available to meet major shareholders, if required. Investors are encouraged to contact the Company's Investor Relations, at email@example.com.

They're strong to very strong in literally every phase and every position and never turn the ball over. And I can't stand Harbaugh, but he's very innovative with his play designs and diagnosing his opponent's weaknesses.
I'd expect a heavy dose of power running and play action based on what we've shown so far in run D.
If we don't play our very best game and come out slow like we did against the Browns, we've got no shot

Canadian judges must cry a lot.
Seems like I heard this very same thing about V/M's FD at Thornhill.
Canadian judges must cry a lot.
Seems like I heard this very same thing about V/M's FD at Thornhill.
This LP is slowly growing on me...like mould (And yes, their costumes sadly remind me of mould...why...WHY! would you put such 2 attractive people in such a blahhh costume. It's not even...BAD.....it's just...blah)
I wish they would do something else a bit more different but they don't seem to be very comfortable doing non-romantic stuff. (Case in point --> Requiem for a Dream SP. Meh)
Glad they did well for the nationals...Am so psyched for the pairs event at olympics! =D
I don't think Bryce is the weak link. I think Jessica might have stronger individual skating skills, if even that - maybe just stronger extension and line, but I think Bryce is the stronger, more natural performer and pairs skater. He creates the team in that team. Bryce especially uses his hands very well, phrases the music and choreography very organically with them and is the one who creates what emotional shadings there are in the program. Of the two, he's way more dynamic and a pairs team needs a little of that.
I don't think the program is empty choreographically - there's nice in betweens, the ina bauers into the second throw, the sweep Jessica does around the ice and back to Bryce after the first throw, some of the transitions, the mood changes in the final pairs spin expressed by position changes - I think it's well put together. However, Canada makes a huge deal that chemistry is the thing that D&D bring to the table that the other couples lack, and IMO that's delusional. S&S have a very similar program in Out of Africa (thwarted love, lovers turning away and separated at the end) and a lovely connection on the ice. S/Z have beautiful presentation, especially her, AND a lovely connection on the ice. Both of those teams skate with heart that D&D cannot claim to surpass.
Zang and Zang, I'll give it to D&D every day of the week. M&T - they don't exude warmth, but they are very LIGHT, clean and smooth, and sometimes D&D clunk.
Bryce once said that what they really need to work on is GOES and I agree with that and I look to Jessica for it. For example, even in this skate, she audibly "thunked" down from one lift, and the first time she skated Way We Were, she dropped her skate down heavily coming up out of a death spiral. She's got lovely "static" positions - positions when they are held, but sometimes when she's actually moving out of them she can be a little leg heavy or body heavy in how she holds herself.

We're going to disagree on S&S - Out of Africa brought the audience to its feet the first time it was skated. I think they have a very natural and palpable chemistry in both their short program and their new long.
A personal history may have meaning to the skaters and help them perform, but that's not the type of thing that matters to CoP or even under the 6.0 system. I don't think "it's real" makes much difference. It's what is actually present on the ice that matters, not where it came from.
Ideally, I think, a sense of performance instead of just rote element execution helps the program and the judges are looking for that, so D&D, S&Z and S&S all can create that. However, it's not a void D&D fill. They can't count on being the ones who skate like a pair while everyone else has the "big tricks". The other two have big tricks, skate like a pair, and create a beautiful performance as well. And what M&T do, while not warm and fuzzy, is clean and pretty, sharp and smooth, which also creates a mood (IOW, it's not necessarily about acting or "emotion")
At Euros, K/S circus valse kicked S/S Out of Africa in the gut, audiencewise. Tallinn didn't really buy that program as much.
I wonder if there was any Russian judge crying at D/D
I guess that I'm not necessarily that fond of the conflation of romance and pair skating--the most memorable and moving performances for me (e.g. Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze's Lady Caliph, Mishkutenok/Dmitriev's Rachmaninoff, Shen/Zhao's Turandot, heck, even Mukhortova/Trankov's Pink Floyd), none of them were really overtly romantic or brought their personal history onto the table, but they were splendid performances, had the 'big tricks' and were beautiful to me in a way that, well, D/D never were, even with their romance and all (no offense to D/D, of course).
My points have mostly been made, but I will add that a sense of story off the ice tends to give things more punch, even if it's inadvertent. It can be simply having a great comeback skate on home ice.
Now, I think D/D's skate is exceedingly well choreographed
Such a nice performance by D/D. I personally think it feels very genuine and sincere. The choreography is so subtle yet so powerful.
I am so sad Duhamel and Buntin aren't going to the Olympics though... I love them...

Police release St. Charles-Bend confrontation video
DA clears officer; Bend man's widow ponders options
BEND, Ore. - One day after Deschutes County DA Patrick Flaherty cleared a Bend police officer in a fateful confrontation outside St. Charles-Bend. police released security video of the scene and NewsChannel 21 talked with the man's widow, who is still asking questions.
The St. Charles surveillance video from the night of Aug. is a time lapse that has gaps where the video advances a few seconds forward.
Hospital staff said patient Jerry Nichols became aggressive in the emergency room, as his oxygen levels were low.
Nichols' wife, Barbara , says her husband suffered from a lung condition, PTSD from his time in Vietnam and dementia.
"I know what kind of person he was, because of what he had been through," she told NewsChannel 21 Wednesday. "If someone tried to grab him and hold onto him, he was going to fight back. He didn't want to be restrained."
In the video, Nichols can be seen walking up to a picnic table and sitting down.
After Bend police Officer Steve Craig pulled up and got out of his car, Nichols came toward him.
Police said Craig used his Taser, and while it worked, police reports said it was fired too close, and it didn't stop Nichols.
Craig then used an open hand strike to try to stop him, and he fell to the ground, soon suffering cardiac arrest.
"I said, 'You could have grabbed a hold of each one of his arms and someone could have came up behind him and restrained him, or someone could have held his legs," Barbara Nichols said. "There was no reason to do what was done to him, I don't think, at all."
As Nichols was lying on the ground, hospital staff rushed out and performed CPR. He then went into cardiac arrest. Nichols was in critical condition for eight days, and died after his family decided to remove him from life support.
"It's hard, and I miss him a lot," his wife said. "That's why I try and keep myself busy and I go to counseling once a week, to talk to someone about what's going on, just so I can get through the day some times."
DA Patrick Flaherty reviewed the case, determining the use of force by Officer Craig was lawful and justified.
But according to Nichols' wife, who is getting ready to spend her first Christmas without her husband, the work is not over.
"I don't want it to be left hanging," Barbara Nichols said. "He deserves that. He fought for our country, and that was really important to him."
Barbara said she does not know what comes next. She said more investigating needs to be done before she can make any decision about how to move forward legally.
"I don't know -- it just shouldn't have happened," said Barbara. "My daughter keeps telling me that, too. It just shouldn't have happened. He would be here right now if it hadn't. "

Kris Jenner needs some lessons on how to treat a man she treats Bruce like a piece of dog crap and honestly I dont know how he puts up with her cause I watch the show and sometimes I wanna even snap at her from the tv. I think the only reason he is staying is for his family, his girls, but Kris has lost it especially tonight when she went to go see her ex because she was being a little drama queen and thought this would be the way to not feel guilty. Yup Kris, your real mature atleast talk to Bruce before being a silly immature teen and backstab the one person who sticks with you through everything you put him through .

I think Kris tries too hard to live her life through her kids. I believe that deep down inside she is afraid of getting older and is fantasizing that she can be the new "Kim" with this younger guy who if they do get together will eventually dump her for a girl his age. Bruce is the ultimate catch and has a wonderful reputation as the best athlete in the world. It is amazing how disrespectful she is to him on television. He needs to be with a woman who can love and respect him. He deserves much much better. Kris really needs to act her age and be a good role model for her younger daughters. It's tragic to see her acting like a fool on TV.

With all 4 girls so pretty..Kris should bbe the role model for them. She should show them a Lady,respect and integrity,I feel she has let all of this money and fame is chaaging her into a disrespectful person that doesnt care about anything but money. I feel for Bruce she disrespects him,wanting to change her last name to Kardashian again..she is crazy…money hunger,greed has taken over and I know that the 3 oldest daughters know what is going on, especially Khloe, she is the most respectful oje her and Kourtney, Kourtney is a wonderful mother and Khloe is a wonderful loyal wife, Kris ought to take lessons on how to be a good mom and wife from her children….I have no respect for ehr at all, I don't think I would want to meet her I would hloe and ourtny, look at poor Kendall and Kiley she has already started on them, whken they should be home talking about boys,having slumber partries,going to the mall with friends,sspending quality time with Bruce and Kris but thaat is not the case.. I don't know what to say eaccept she is not a very nice person,she is greedy,narcisisitic and not a very good mother and wife. Maybe God can open her eyes befire it is too late, she can't keep this up without paying the consequences.I think Bruce ought to be very anger because she wouoldnt be a manager for his son but can for all of her girls,that is so wrong, I don't know why he stays with ehr accept maybe ;money..who knows.

The Destination
Originally established as a no-nonsense flour mill town, Rochester, New York, is as much a cache of culture as it is a hub of industry these days. The artsy action centers around the city's East End, a leafy, tree-lined neighborhood where more than 100 museums and theaters mingle with tapas bars and jazz clubs. And since Rochester is known as the Flower City as well as the Flour City, fresh air fiends can find any number of ways to enjoy the town's bounty of spring blooms, from a walk through Highland Park to an afternoon at the annual Lilac Festival.
The Digs
Hidden among the Greek Revival mansions and Art Deco-style museums of Rochester's East End, the East Avenue Inn & Suites offers a boutique atmosphere within walking distance of the city's best dining and nightlife. Spacious suites reflect the neighborhood's creative spirit with LED lighting and locally-produced artwork, while eco-friendly elements like high-efficiency climate control keep the hotel as green as its surroundings. An array of thoughtful amenities—including wireless Internet access, shuttle service, and a fitness center—ensures each stay is equally convenient and comfortable.
The Diversions
• National Museum of Play
• Rochester Museum & Science Center

"The rooms were euro-style boutique with a small kitchen area, a plush bed, and an upscale bath. The location was perfect, in the middle of everything! Can't wait to go back."-- TripAdvisor

We had our first nuc deadout. This nuc was started from a swarm we caught Sept 19th. We put the small swarm in a 5 five frame nuc, and added a frame of honey and a partially drawn out frame of comb. The swarm drew out their own comb on a foundationless frame and setup shop so to speak on that frame. We did see the queen, and we saw eggs. When I cleaned the nuc yesterday, I found eggs, but no capped brood.
It appears they starved, even though they had plenty of honey on frames we put in. And, they had Dadant Winter Patties on top. We have had some cool nights into the high 20's but the daytime temps have been in the 40's and 50's. I could understand if we had a severe cold snap, and they couldn't move to get to food, but we have had very mild weather. Any ideas on why they would starve with food so close and mild temps?

MSG Pops on Time Warner Deal; Credit the Harvard Kid
Madison Square Garden shares jumped about 4% shortly after news leaked of an impending deal between Madison Square Garden (MSG) and Time Warner Cable (TWC).
Time Warner customers had been blocked from watching MSG as the two companies fought over fees; but the kerfuffle had mostly been ignored until people suddenly started to care about the Knicks again as the team built a seven-game wining streak.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Attorney General Eric Schneiderman plan to announce the decision, allowing them to take credit for the deal. But an unheralded bench-warmer from Harvard named Jeremy Lin may have given MSG the upper hand in the negotiations. That, at least, is what the market seems to think. MSG's shares shot higher on the news, while Time Warner's were holding steady, up a little less than 1%.

Why I Don't Want to Flaunt "It"

The pressure to flaunt my figure as a rapper and performer and modern woman is HUGE. I have been told countless times that I should "show it off" more, and that I am "hiding" my body. I don't love the look of leggings, because I'm not sold on women baring our asses for the viewing pleasure of strangers.

I think B/L got nervous at the thought of their first national title. Some errors from Vera on the SBS jumps. Throws and lifts were excellent as usual. Not the same confidence they had yesterday. But IMO they will win anyway.
Oh and after seeing the K&C of I/M, I wouldn't be surprised if they split
I/M splitting would be sad, but I would not blame him. He needs a partner who can land her jumps, no matter how great and unique Lubov is. I still hope she can pull a Martyusheva and starts landing her jumps again
and Martyusheva and Rogonov get their first National Podium standing. excellent.
Beautiful and promising pair and Martyusheva has improved
lets celebrate on Rogonov's youtube channel. LOL
at least Rogonov and Maisuradze share a laugh
but that would be aweful if Maisuradze and Iliushechkina dissolve their partnership
just needs to work more, I believe they can still improve and all is not lost

And to think M/R would probably win nationals in any other country(except China) but here in Russia they won't even make the Euro and Worlds team is just sad
Clean skate from Stolbova/Klimov! Good for them
2nd place
1. Bazarova/Larionov 2. Stolbova/Klimov 3. Martyusheva/Rogonov
Davankova and Deputat win the TES!
I dont see V/T and K/S competing here. If they dont compete at RN, do they still automatically get to go to Euros and Worlds?
Interesting; I didn't realize that the world-class main teams weren't competing here. Is that something that happens every year?
V/T and K/S are taking the months off to heal some minor injuries
and use teh time to better prepare for Euros/Worlds
but S/K and M/R will still be assigned and represent for Grand Prix
I especially want to see M/R compete again at Grand Prix series
and see how they have improved at Internationals since their last competitions

Are we getting old Eagle castoffs such as Patterson and Jenkins? They got fragile Kenny Phillips and now I am wondering who has made the better deal here us or them?
Are we getting old Eagle castoffs such as Patterson and Jenkins? They got fragile Kenny Phillips and now I am wondering who has made the better deal here us or them?
Im confused you think Mike patterson and cullen jenkins are gonna be camp bodies? Jenkins will be our starting tackle next to canty and patterson will most likely rotate in. Gmen like many teams rotate their tackles and pattersone (a former first rounder is stout against the run) - while jenkins is very very good at getting pressure up the middle on the pass.
The giants going after two tackles after letting canty move on has zero to do with the eagles or kenny phillips. Both of these guys could be very nice pieces up the middle where we struggles last year.
I liked Canty a lot, but I think our interior D-Line will actually be decent...now the Backers and Corners?
NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
Sometimes guys get let go to make room for youth or cap space. KP was let go basically.
We got a Redskin cast off and he turned out to be pretty good. 58 helped us get #3.
Rudy was my side chick.
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
