Snoworks looks after your 'on-snow' experience, the ski course. We also provide a service to offer you a number of other services including accommodation and travel. Therefore the booking conditions have been split into two sections:
- Ski Courses
- Other Services
If you have booked any other services please refer to the booking conditions for 'Other Services'. These will be shown your confirmation invoice for these services and on the Snoworks website.
Ski course: refers to all Snoworks Ski Courses, (Ski, Adventure, GAP, Professional and Corporate) as described on the Snoworks website.
Snowboarding and Telemarking
Occasionally we have snowboarders or telemarkers joining us. Please check with our office that this is possible before booking a course. If booking please replace:
Ski with snowboard or telemark
Skiing with snowboarding or telemarking
Skier with snowboarder or telemarker
Agreeing To The Booking Conditions
By booking a ski course either by telephone, post, email or directly online through the 'Reseve YouSpace' facility, you will be agreeing to these booking conditions. If you are booking on behalf of others you will also be taking on responsibility that the other members of your group have read and agree to these booking conditions. Please read them carefully and if there is anything you are unsure about please contact us immediately. Please make sure the other members of your party also ready the booking conditons. All the booking conditions along with information on our website, brochures, telephone conversations and any letters or emails that you have received form the basis for your contract with Snoworks Ltd.
Snoworks uses the services of instructors and mountain guides to provide the service as advertised on the Snoworks website. Instructors and guides are qualified through their governing body in their country of residence or the country in which they provide their service. Their membership through their professional organisation includes insurance to provide the services they are qualified to deliver. They are not employees of Snoworks. They are self employed professionals contracted in by Snoworks to provide the service as described on this website. When under their care your contract is directly with them. Should you be involved in any dispute involving an instructor or mountain guide where the dispute involves insurance then this will be direct with the organisation that provides their insurance, not Snoworks.
Ski course prices may increase in line with inflation and exchange rates or for other reasons and these will be shown on the website in the Dates & Prices section. The ski course prices are only guaranteed against any changes once you have booked and the ski course price will be shown on your confirmation invoice.
Booking And Paying For A Ski Course
A £50 deposit (excluding Adventure and GAP) is required as a deposit to reserve your place on a ski course. Full payment is required 10 weeks prior to departure. You can reserve spaces online however online reservations are not guaranteed as a space until confirmation is recieved from the Snoworks office in the form of a confirmation invoice. We cannot reserve spaces on a course until a deposit has been paid. In the case of failing to pay the final balance within the specified time frame, reminders will be sent and failure to pay the final balance could result in the course being cancelled with the loss of the deposit.
Deposits for Adventure Courses: £750
Deposits for GAP courses: £1,000
Cancellation Charges
If you need to cancel your ski course, the following cancellation charges will apply per person per course:
Prior to 8 weeks £50
Within 4 - 8 weeks 50%
Within 0 – 4 weeks 100%
Note: this is for the ski course. If you have booked other services please see: 'Other Services Booking Conditions'
Course Only - With No Accommodation and Travel
On most weeks you can book the ski course and arrange all your own travel and accommodation. On some courses where we have had to guarantee beds in a hotel or chalet we may not be able to offer this option, and you may have to book the accommodation on offer with the course. Please check with the office.
Minimum Ski Level
On each course there is a minimum ski level. This is shown on Dates & Prices and on the website page for each course. It can sometimes be difficult to judge your level and you may find that your ski level is below the minimum level for the course you have booked. Minimum levels assume a good fitness level and a reasonable speed of travel, see 'Ski Levels' on the Snoworks website for more detailed descriptions. Sometimes we are able to cater for this eventuality; however on some occasions we may need to transfer you into another appropriate ski course with a ski school or arrange private instruction with another instructor in the resort. We will use the course fee paid to purchase lessons to the equivalent value. The lesson durations may vary and may not be equivalent to the Snoworks ski course advertised.
Meeting the Minimum Ski Level But Below The Level Of Other Members Of The Group
On rare occassions you may meet the criteria as described for the minimum level of the course but all the other group members ski to a higher level. On these rare occasions we may need to transfer you into another appropriate ski course with a ski school or arrange private instruction with another instructor in the resort. We will use the course fee paid to purchase lessons to the equivalent value. The lesson durations may vary and may not be equivalent to the Snoworks ski course advertised.
Group Sizes
Maximum: 6/7/8 per group.
Note: Maximum class size varies between 6 and 8 and is adjusted accordingly with: The level of each group, the prevailing conditions of the mountain as regards to safe group management, and the itinerary of the group.

Welcome Evening
On the Sunday evening before the ski course starts we hold a welcome meeting. This is normally around 6pm either in the hotel or chalet where the majority of the course participants are staying (times may vary) or at a local meeting place. The exact location and time will be shown on your pre-course information. This is an opportunity to meet the instructors and/or mountain guides and chat about your skiing level and aspirations. The instructors and/or mountain guides will also chat about the course, meeting times and any other relevant information. Not all the instructores/guides are present at the Welcome Meeting. Adventure trips will vary. If you cannot attend the welcome meeting please let one of the Snoworks representative know. Use the contact numbers shown on your pre-course information.
Arrivals on Saturday
If you arrive on Saturday with a course starting on Monday you will need to organise your own skiing for Sunday. This is normally used as a warm up day. Please note there will be no Snoworks representative until the Sunday Welcome Meeting.
Off-Snow Activities
Off-Snow activities are also provided in the form of technical chats, safety and video analysis. The structure, duration and number of these sessions will vary depending on the course, resort and itinerary.
Other Activities
Summer Courses
Other activities are available such as: river rafting, climbing, adventure parks, hydro speed and many other activities. These activities are not included in the course fee and are booked and paid for by you, the client, direct with the service provider. The contract is between you and the service provider. Snoworks, our instructors and/or mountain guides working on behalf of Snoworks have no responsibility for your particpation and safety whilst taking part in any other activities.
Some activities such as fitness training, volleyball, tennis, basketball etc are organised by the instructor running the course. You participate in these activities entirely at your own free will and accept that if you should be injured whilst participating in these activities it is your responsibility and will not hold either Snoworks or the instructor accountable.
Adventure Courses - Other Activities
On some of the Adventure trips other activities are included as part of the complete package. Using a skidoo or snowcat to ascend slopes. Being transported by 4x4 to the slopes. Horseriding, whitewater rafting, tyrolean slide and other activities not listed here. Although these activities have been costed in as part of the package the contract for these activities will still be between you, the client, and the service provider. Snoworks, our instructors and/or mountain guides working on behalf of Snoworks have no responsibility for these activities. Should an injury occur whilst taking part in these other activities the contract is between you and the service provider and any dispute will be between you and the service provider.
Groups and Ability Level
At the welcome meeting the Snoworks instructor/guide will gain an idea of your ski level, fitness, the speed you like to ski at and the slopes you like to tackle. We will then work out the groups for the first day. Depending on the week, we run between 1 to 6 groups and on some occasions more. For the first session we divide everyone into groups based on either the information you have provided us with, or by our recollection of your ability level from the previous time you skied with us. We will often move people around for the second session onwards in order to make sure groups are compatible. If you would like to move groups into a faster or slower moving group or a group that is tackling easier or more difficult terrain there is normally the possibility of doing this. If moving groups means going above the maximum number considered safe for the course, terrain and snow conditons then this will not be possible. If you ask to move groups but the instructor or mountain guide feels your level of ability will present a safety hazard if you switch groups then they will not be able to meet your request. Although we aim to accommodate all individual aspirations and needs the instructors or mountain guides working on behalf of Snoworks will have the final decision about which group you will ski in.
Mixed Level Ability Groups
On some weeks when we have fewer groups there is the likelihood that the group will contain a mixed level of ability. This means working more technically, waiting for slower members of a group, allowing faster members of the group to go ahead, group members working on different aspects of their skiing, group members tackling different terrain. If you are a stronger member of the group in a mixed ability group you will be required to be supportive towards slower members of the group. If you are a slower member of the group in a mixed ability group you will be required to work on individual aspects of your own skiing whilst stronger members work on other aspects of their skiing. This may mean travelling at a slower speed than the rest of the group, tackling easier terrain etc. All the instructors and mountain guides are very skilled at developing performance whilst catering for variations in levels of ability.
NOTE: By booking a Snoworks ski course you will be accepting the possibility you may be in a group of a mixed level of ability and have to adjust your aspirations accordingly.
Skiing With Friends / Relations
If you are coming on a half day ski course with partners and/or friends who are a different skiing level you may find that the time of your ski course is different to theirs. On the half day courses we try to alternate groups so that you can ski at similar times at different points during the week, however we cannot guarantee this. If you are at different levels but would like to ski in the same group we may be able to accommodate this. It will mean that the more experienced members of your party will ski in the group with the less experienced members of your party. We can only accommodate this request if the group remains under the maximum number of clients per group as deemed appropriate by the instructor/guide for the level of the group, terrain and snow conditons.
Accepting Risk
By booking a Snoworks course you will be taking advantage of a huge amount of experience and expertise. The instructors who work on behalf of Snoworks are very skilled at developing performance as described on the Snoworks website. Both the instructors and mountain guides are well trained in the safety aspects of skiing in the mountains. They can advise, help and lead you. However skiing involves an element of risk, which you must accept as inherent to the sport. You must take responsibility over your own actions and decisions when skiing on the mountain either by yourself or within a Snoworks group. It is known that accidents do happen as part of skiing. By booking on a Snoworks ski course you will be accepting the risk involved and accepting that an accident may happen. You will also be responsible for deciding to take part in any activity whether an exercise, a particular technique, skiing a particular slope, skiing a particular speed or skiing particular snow textures. In race training you will also be accepting whether to ski a particular 'course' and what speed to ski at. Snoworks and the instructors and mountain guides working on behalf of Snoworks cannot be held responsible for accidents and your actions. If at any point you wish not to take part in an activity for any reason then you must let the instructor or mountain guide know immediately.
Individual Responsibility and The FIS Code Of Conduct
All skiers must ski in accordance with the 'FIS Skiers' Code Of Conduct'. This is shown towards the later part of these booking conditions. Each member of the group has the responsibility to ski in accordance with these rules. Snoworks and the instructors and mountain guides working on behalf of Snoworks are not responsible for how each skier chooses to ski. If you are involved in an accident involving another member of the group or a member of the general public, Snoworks and the instructor or mountain guide working on behalf of Snoworks cannot be held responsible. If an injury occurs due to a collision or incident then your dispute will be with the person/persons involved in the incident and not Snoworks, the instructor or mountain guide.
On Snow Course Cancellation Due To Extreme Weather
Occasionally due to extreme weather conditions all the ski lifts in the resort may be closed. If we are unable to run our on-snow training we will supplement this with other off-snow activities. The off-snow activities may not be to the equivalent time that the ski course is advertised. We cannot give refunds for any on-snow time missed due to lift closure. Check your insurance policy as it may cover you for lift closure.
Travelling To Other Resorts Due To Lift Closure Or Poor Conditions
If in extreme situations there is a lack of snow in the resort, you may need to travel to other nearby resorts with superior conditions. The costs of travelling to and from these resorts will need to be paid by each client. The instructor or mountain guide working on behalf of Snoworks will choose whether to travel to other resorts and should you choose not to do so you will forfeit the course fee paid for that session.
Travelling Between Resorts
On some courses such as the Adventure trips, All-Terrain Safaris and Backcountry courses, and on occassions other Snoworks courses, you may need to be transported between resorts and ski lifts. In this instance Snoworks is not reponsible for any accident that occurs due to the transport service. Should an accident occur your dispute will be directly with the service provider of the transport and not Snoworks.
Other Expenses
On some courses, for example Backcountry and Adventure, the group will be travelling far away from the original destination. Some itineraries and routes may end up away from the lift system. Taxis or local transport may need to be used to return to the original destination. In this event any expenses for transport will need to be met by you, the client. On some courses you will be skiing from one valley to another or from one ski resort to another. It is possible that whilst you are in another valley or ski area away from your original destination all ski lifts that link the area could close for one reason or another, or you miss the last link available. In this case you will be responsible for any additional expenses incurred to either return by other means of transport to your original destination or stay overnight in alternative accommodation. Your insurance may cover this, please check.
On some courses, especially Off-Piste, Backcountry, Backcountry Access, Adventure and some All-Terrain courses, the instructor or mountain guide may plan routes to access certain runs and itineraries to access superior snow conditions and interesting terrain. These may involve an element of walking. If this is a planned route the instructor or mountain guide will inform you beforehand. If the majority of the group wish to take the planned ski route or itinerary and you choose not to, you will either have the option of joining another group that may be of a lower level, or if this is not possible you will have the option of opting out of this particular route. There will be no refund if you choose this option. The nature of off-piste skiing also means that snow texture and conditions are constantly changing from day to day and hour to hour. This means that routes often have to be amended whilst on the move due to snow conditions and safety. On occasions routes may have to be amended that involve an element of walking. When booking onto any ski course you must be aware that this may happen.
Opting Out
If you think you may opt out of a session for any reason please aim to do so before the start of the session and let the instructor or mountain guide working on behalf of Snoworks or a Snoworks representative know beforehand. If you choose to opt out during a session, the instructor or mountain guide will lead you to a safe place from where you can opt out. From this point you will be accepting all responsibility for yourself. Should you have an accident returning to your original destination this will be your responsibility. In certain situations when safety is an issue the instructor or mountain guide will inform you that opting out is not advised until the group reaches a safe place. If you choose to go against this advice you may seriously endanger yourself and others that may have to be called to your rescue should you get into trouble. Should you choose to opt out you will be taking full responsibility for yourself.
Being Asked To Leave The Course
If the instructor or mountain guide feels that you are skiing or behaving in a manner that either endangers yourself, other members of the group or public or causes disruption within the group from either your skiing or your personal behaviour, the instructor or mountain guide will ask you to adjust your skiing and/or behaviour accordingly. Failure to do so could result in being asked to leave the course. In this situation no refunds will be given.
Safety Equipment
Off-Piste - Transceiver, Shovel, Probe, Backpack
On courses that involve off-piste skiing in certain areas and snow conditions, safety equipment must be carried. This involves wearing a transceiver and carrying a probe and shovel in a backpack. If you are booking onto a ski course involving off-piste skiing in these areas and you do not have this equipment we will provide it.
Using A Transciever - Companion Rescue
On all courses involving off-piste skiing, using a transceiver to locate a companion is essential. If you are not familiar with using a transceiver the instructor or mountain guide will train you accordingly. You will be required to be able to use the transceiver to locate a companion in a scenario situation within a certain time. Training will be given for this. Failure to be able to use the transceiver (after substantial training) to locate a companion within the specified time will mean you will may be unable to join the group for off piste skiing until you can show competency as requested. Further training will be organised and once you can complete the requested proficiency test you will be able to rejoin the course. If you are unable to use a transceiver (this is rare) you may not be able to join the off-piste group and will forfeit any monies paid.
All Courses - Strongly Recommended
We strongly recommend the wearing of a safety helmet on all Snoworks ski courses. If you are venturing into demanding terrain with hazards, failure to wear a helmet could affect the decision of the instructor or mountain guide to lead you into certain terrain. You may be required to move into a group that is venturing into less demanding terrain with less hazards. The instructor and/or guide at their discretion can refuse you in their group if they believe not wearing a helmet represents a hazard to yourself or other members of the group in the case of a rescue scenario.
Race Courses and Gap - Compulsory
On all Race Courses including Race Carve, Race Camps, Junior Race, Eurotest, Test Technique and Gap, a helmet is obligatory.
Declaring Existing Illnesses and Injuries
At the time of booking you must disclose any existing illnesses or injuries that could effect your ability to ski safely and competently and not place any undue risk on instructors, guides, other group members or members of the public. Snoworks will decide whether any exisiting illnesses or injuries that are disclosed will place instructors, mountain guides and other clients at risk after taking advice from our insurance company and the relevant skiing governing bodies. Failure to disclose any existing illnesses or injuries could result in an instructor or guide refusing to take you in a group. In this situation refunds cannot be given.
No refunds for missing course time can be given. In the event of Snoworks being unable to deliver the course as promised in the booking conditions, website and literature (for example due to staff illness or injury) we will refund on a pro rata basis any time missed or transfer missed time to a future course.
It is your responsibility to make sure you have adequate insurance cover for the ski course you have booked.
All Courses
Your insurance must cover you for off-piste skiing. if you are an experienced off-piste skier you may want your insurance to cover you for off piste skiing unaccompanied by an instructor or guide. Check your policy.
Race Training / Race Carve / Autumn Ski Course / Summer Ski Course
You may need special insurance for race training. Check your policy.
Adventure Courses can include other optional activities such as: white water rafting, Tyrolean slides, horse riding etc. Check your policy.
Summer Courses
You can book extra activities in the resort: whitewater rafting, hydro slide, climbing, mountain biking, adventure park, plus a host of other activities. Check your policy.
You need special insurance to cover you.

FIS Skiers Code of Conduct
It is the responsibility of every skier whether skiing by themselves or in a Snoworks group to adhere to the FIS skiers Code of Conduct as summarised below. Failure to do so, could lead to civil and criminal liability in the event of an accident. More detailed versions can be obtained from the FIS website.
1. Respect For Others
Skiers must behave in such a way that they do not endanger or prejudice others. Skiers are responsible for their behaviour and their equipment.
2. Control Of Speed and Skiing
Skiers must ski in control. They must adapt their speed and manner of skiing to their personal ability and to the prevailing conditions.
3. Choice Of Route
Skiers coming from behind must choose their route so as to not endanger skiers ahead. In other words, the skier in front/below always has priority.
4. Overtaking
Skiers may overtake other skiers above or below and to the right or the left, provided they leave enough space for the overtaken skier to make any voluntary or involuntary movement.
COMMENT: A skier or snowboarder who overtakes another is wholly responsible for completing that manoeuvre in such a way to cause no difficulty to the skier or snowboarder being overtaken. This responsibility rests with him until the overtaking manoeuvre has been completed. This rule applies even when overtaking a stationary skier or snowboarder.
5. Entering And Starting
Skiers entering a marked run or setting off must look up and down the run to make sure that they can do so without endangering themselves or others.
COMMENT: The development of carving skis and snowboards allows their users to carve and turn upwards on the slopes. Hence they move opposite to the general downhill traffic. They must, therefore, make sure in time that they can do so without endangering themselves and others.
6. Stopping On The Piste
Unless absolutely necessary, skiers must avoid stopping on the piste in narrow places or where visibility is restricted. After a fall in such a place the skier must move clear of the piste as soon as possible.
7. Climbing And Descending On Foot
Whether climbing or descending on foot, skiers must keep to the side of the piste.
8. Respect For Signs And Markings
Skiers must respect all signs and markings.
9. Assistance At accidents all skiers are duty-bound to assist. Hit and run offences in skiing will incur a criminal conviction similar to hit and run offences on the road.
10. Identification All skiers and witnesses, whether a responsible party or not, must exchange names and addresses following an accident.
If you have any complaints please speak directly to the instructor, mountain guide or a Snoworks representative immediately during your ski course. They will help rectify the problem as soon as possible if they can. Failure to speak with anyone during your stay could invalidate any complaint you may choose to make after your return. If you are still unsatisfied on your return please write directly to Snoworks.
Gap Courses
All the 'Snoworks Ski Course Booking Conditions', the 'Snoworks Other Services' Booking Conditions', information on the Snoworks website, Snoworks Gap website, any emails, phone conversations and letters you have received form the basis of your contract. Please read all the information carefully and should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
Criteria For BASI Levels 1 and 2
The criteria for achieving the pass level at BASI levels 1 and 2 can be viewed on the official BASI website. If for any reason you do not achieve the required level, Snoworks or the instructors working on behalf of Snoworks cannot be held responsible.
Achieving BASI Level 1
If you are unsuccessful at achieving the BASI level 1, the Gap course will be adjusted accordingly so you may re-sit the level 1 towards the end of the Gap course but not the level 2. On certain occasions it may be possible to retake the level 1 at the start or beforethe start of the level 2 and progress directly to the level 2. This is a matter for BASI and not Snoworks to decide. Snoworks is not responsible for any extra fees incurred in re-sitting the BASI level 1 and taking the BASI level 2 outside of the Snoworks Gap course timetable advertised.
Achieving BASI Level 2
The BASI level 2 is held on the final two weeks of the Level 1/2 Gap course. If you are unsuccessful at achieving the required level you can re-sit the level 2 at a later date. Course dates are advertised on the BASI website. It may still be possible to re-sit the level 2 and source work for the majority of the season. Snoworks is not responsible for any extra fees incurred outside of the advertised Snoworks Gap Course dates.
Completing All Criteria
There are many aspects to achieving the criteria for BASI level 1 and 2. If for any reason you are not able to complete the criteria as described on the official BASI website due to injury, illness or any other circumstances, Snoworks cannot be held responsible. No refunds can be given. Please make sure your insurance covers you for this eventuality.
The laws in France and other countries outside the UK apply the same to residents as non-residents. Even if you are a resident in the UK you will still be expected to abide by any local laws including driving, drinking and social behaviour. Skiing is a dangerous activity and cannot be undertaken safely when under the influence or effect of alcohol or lack of sleep. Snoworks reserves the right to refuse to train any candidate in this situation. Missing training could affect your ability to achieve the required level for BASI level 1 and 2. In case of persistent neglect of the above, Snoworks reserves the right to ask you to leave the course with no refund available.

How to restart the phone with spoiled lock & power button
Lock and power button spoiled. Need to restart the phone as some error on the phone.
Is this a good question?
Lock and power button spoiled. Need to restart the phone as some error on the phone.
Is this a good question?
Hello Charles,
If the touchscreen works on the iPhone 4 you could go into settings-general-accessibility and turn Assistive Touch ON. From there you will be able to shut down and restart the phone.
You have several good ways to Restart your iPhone.
1. You can let your battery run all the way down, your iPhone will turn OFF and then you charge it back up, it will turn ON in less than 4 minutes. You should be doing this once to a couple times per month for best battery performance anyway, according to the most experienced users on this forum.
2. You can squeeze (pinch) the Power Button top corner front glass to the back case while pushing the Power Button and the Power Button will usually function.
3. Settings App>General>Reset near bottom>Reset Network Settings. This will restart your iPhone, and I believe this will function fairly close to or exactly like a Hard Reset. Nothing will change on your iPhone.
4. Settings App>General>Reset near bottom>Reset All Settings. This will restart your iPhone, it will not delete anything, but it will reorganize things like Apps. I do not like using this feature myself.

In this backlash they are now wishing it would just all go away. Here are some quotes I've run across recently that make me go... "hmmm?"
Why do movies about gay rights have to mention homosexuals?
"Could've understood the jest (sic) of the movie without being so blatant about their homosexuality. Enjoyed the political drama and the hope that Mr. Milk tried to convey. Several scenes were very uncomfortable to watch so I wouldn't recommend this movie...it's overrated even though the story is unique and true." - Blessedmom from Kansas City in a user review of Milk on the Movietickets.com website.I don't believe sex or love exists and you can't make me!
"It seems that lately our society has been bombarded by the gay issue, either signs like this one or gays trying to marry or people protesting and/or attacking others who have different feelings or beliefs. Personally, I'm tired of it all. If you want to be gay, fine - be gay but don't throw it in our face. On the other hand, if you want to be straight then be straight but don't throw it in our face." - Christine-595127 commenting on an anti-gay billboard that was removed after an outcry.Cake or Death? Donuts or Civil Rights?
"Of course not. I have always treated them with respect. When they come and wanna talk to me, I talk to 'em. When the protesters came, we served them water and donuts." - Right Wing Mega-Church pop star, Rick Warren when asked if he was homophobic.So there are just a few. I've found others that are very long and rambling like the guy who is in "favor" of Civil Unions but thinks gay people should just shut up and take whatever the straight people hand them when they feel like it. He even goes on to lecture us about what should be important to us and protecting our relationships doesn't top his list, of course.
Anyway, it's fun to see how uncomfortable all this makes the very people who brought it to national attention with Prop 8 and Prop 102 and the failed Constitutional Convention in Connecticut. It's even more fun to watch the supposed "allies" squirm because now they're being forced to put up or shut up instead of being closet bigots as well as that extreme minority in the LGBT community who are actually enablers of hate and who "just want to get along" with the gay bashers and bigots.
Interesting times, these...

What the hell is it with celebrities and their desire to always be in front of the camera? The newest and least surprising celebrity sex tape rumor features none other than Britney Spears.
The unnamed man says he left his camera rolling without telling Britney. They ended up having sex at the Four Seasons hotel on the Kona-Kohala Coast on June 7th and yes, the tape was still rolling.
The guy tells In Touch: "It was just normal, we didn't do anything crazy."
"It was a little disappointing. It lasted for about 25 minutes and then we passed out."
Seems like Britney in the sack is about ad impressive as Britney on stage these days. It's doesn't live up to the hype and leaves you wishing you never had to experience it. Would this really be shocking to anyone? She was photographed half naked hooking up with some random guy in a hot tub like she was on Blind Date (if you have never seen it do a search), has been out and about with no panties, and shaved her head before attacking a car.
It's like the Ring. If you see the tape your phone rings and someone
says 7 days! Be Careful!!!!!!

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Banco Santander (SAN.MC) will issue between 43 billion and 57 billion euros ($45 billion-$60 billion) in debt over the next two years to meet capital targets aimed at enabling systemically important banks to absorb losses, it said on Wednesday.
The euro zone's second largest bank by market value said the funds would help raise its capital ratio above 11 percent by December 2018 from 10.47 percent last September under the strictest criteria, fully-loaded CET1.
The European Central Bank said in November that Santander, Spain's only global systemically important bank (SIFI), had to maintain its regular CET1 ratio above 7.75 percent in 2017. Santander's regular CET1 ratio was 12.44 percent in September.
Santander will issue between 24 billion and 32 billion euros in 2017 and between 19 billion and 25 billion euros in 2018, it said in a statement to the market regulator. Up to 9 billion euros of debt will be in the form of hybrid bonds, which can be converted into equity, it said.
Of the total, its unit Santander Consumer Finance will issue up to 13 billion euros and Santander UK up to 7 billion euros.
A spokeswoman for Santander said the debt issuance was in line with their guidance.
The bank issued 20.5 billion euros of debt in 2016, according to provisional figures.

Danish filmmaker Tobias Lindholm is steadily making a name for himself;
daring filmmaker not afraid to take chances and it pays off in this
Kapringen (A Hijacking) is sort of the antithesis of a Hollywood hostage drama devoid of tired clichés and the predictable story lines we -- as an audience of generational film-goers -- have become too accustomed to.
It features an incredibly in-depth character study from the two main characters: a chef aboard the hijacked ship and the CEO of the shipping company remotely negotiating with the Somali pirates dealing with the incredible pressure and moral dilemmas of the situation. Also the supporting characters are depicted with great nuances such as sympathy and even humanity.
The plot is tight and flows nicely as does the tempo of the film. Cinematography beautifully emphasizes the realism and atmosphere of the film, and even the score is wonderfully understated yet fully appropriate.
One of the most suspenseful films of the year, no doubt, perhaps it embodies everything that Argo should have been about.
As a side note, the person who gave this a horrible review also gave The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2009) a perfect 10/10 (go ahead and click his other reviews if you don't believe me). Take from that what you will.
A highly recommendable film for great acting, directing and general storytelling. Bravo.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
A fine realistic- almost documentary- examination of the hijacking of a Danish-owned freighter by Somali pirates. The two central characters are the ship's cook and the company's C.E.O., who negotiates the crew's release after over four months. There is an almost obsessive concern for realism- the scenes with the crew and the pirates were filmed on a real freighter- which had itself once been hijacked- off the coast of Somalia; the offices of a real shipping company were used; the hostage negotiator used as a consultant plays the part of a hostage negotiator. There are only two lapses from exact realism: the C.E.O. rejects the consultant's advice to recruit an outside negotiator. This makes for more drama at the expense of realism, but we have just seen him negotiate a deal that looked impossible with a Japanese company and- coolly impassive though he is- we can accept he is triumphant and thinks he is the best man for the job. Much of the film is a study of this man's moral education and moral courage as he learns to take others' advice, comes close to psychological collapse and finally triumphs, only to have his triumph destroyed by chance. Even then, he accepts his duty to take responsibility for what has happened, even if it is out of his control. The other lapse from realism is probably the result of the cinematic demand that something has to happen, even in a film where triumph consists of making sure nothing happens. The film takes place almost entirely in confined spaces- the company's offices, in the ship's cabins or cargo deck with occasional glimpses of the outside sea and the sky. There are a couple of moments where pirates and hostages almost meet as equals- when the crew are allowed on deck and catch a fish which inspires a feast for all of them- but for most of the film the pirates are potentially murderous 'others' who inspire only fear and hatred. Even their own English-speaking negotiator, for all his claims not to be a pirate like the others, reveals his own duplicity.
A Hijacking is a richly layered examination of the corporate mindset via Somali pirates from Tobias Lindholm. Shot on a real once-hijacked boat off the coast of Somalia, this is realistic, understated, nuanced and gripping filmmaking. It says as much about humanities will to survive as it does big business's disregard for it. Johan Philip Asbeck is incredible as the cook on the boat struggling to deal with the desperate and dumb Somalis, no doubt driven to piracy by the disease and starvation in their country. The reviewer that said this is "amateurishly written" is a child or a moron. Also check out Lindholm's previous film R- the bleakest of all bleak prison films. It's hard to find but worth the hunt (The Hunt- another good movie Lindholm helped write). Both are highly recommended.
I have just returned from seeing this at the cinema and I thought it was a really good film. I've seen most of the recent clutch of excellent Danish films and I would say this film was as good as any, perhaps with the one exception of The Hunt. I've noticed one reviewer objects to the lack of voice given to the hijackers, demonstrated by their speech not being subtitled. I completely disagree with this being an issue, the film is not about the hijackers, it is about the crew of the ship, the situation they find themselves in, and their relationship with the corporation that owns the ship and is responsible for the ransom that is demanded for the safety of the crew. The film seeks to portray the sense of terror that the crew are going through and arguably the best tool used in the film is the non-translated speech of the hijackers ... we have no idea what they are saying, why they can be calm and friendly one minute and then become furious seconds later for no apparent reason, waving their guns around ... this is exactly the way the crew would have experienced it. What would be the point of letting the audience know what the hijackers were saying if the crew don't understand, bearing in mind the film is trying to put us in their shoes? The CEO of the corporation comes across as stiff and unrealistic to begin with but we are shown at the start of the film that this is how he conducts negotiations, and as the hostage negotiation goes on, his stiff demeanour slowly slips away. The film expertly rackets up the tension, and is one of those films that makes you feel like you're experiencing what the characters are, rather than watching as an audience from afar. It is not a 10/10 classic but it is a very good film and well worth watching.
Unbearably tense and anti-aesthetic.
For his second directorial feature, Tobias Lindholm (co-writer of Jagten) delivers the kind of indifferent, matter-of-fact realism not experienced since the early days of Dogme 95. And because it cuts through all the fluff and artifice that has invaded commercial films without compromising momentum as a situationist thriller, one must concede that Kapringen has upped the ante on Danish rebellion against the Hollywood system.
The refusal to include actual scenes of the hijacking in a film specifically titled "A Hijacking" is no accident.
A cargo ship MV Rozen is hijacked by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean. Among the eight men crew taken hostage is Mikkel (Pilou Asbæk), the ship's cook. A translator for the pirates issues demand for $15M in exchange for release. But back in Copenhagen, CEO of the shipping company Peter (Søren Malling) learns that gaining the upper hand demands patience. And so negotiations play out in silence like a sociopathic Fischer-Spassky game: cold, calculated, unyielding.
I can't think of any movie in which I have wanted so much to resist and cease watching, yet fail to do so because it has a quality so raw, unsympathetic and intuitive. In keeping with Lindholm's debut feature (a prison drama "R"); Kapringen is filmed on location, in chronological sequence and on board a sea freighter that was hijacked in the Indian ocean. Casting also features a real life hostage negotiator as the central figure and naturally, Somali pirates.
Arguably, mechanical reproduction of genuine conditions doesn't guarantee a convincing film but in this case, it does Kapringen looks so suitably stained with normality that one instantly recognizes the absence of gimmicky aesthetics. Unmanipulated (or to be PC about words, "seemingly so"), you resonate with the film's fabric of reality while searching for something more, and in the process, gain access into psychological domains that underpin both Peter and Mikkel.
It's not for nothing that Lindholm went through great lengths to replicate an uncomfortable, pressing scenario because the film offers reflection on an overlooked form of terrorism. Corporations may be showing it to employees as a resource on how to respond during such crises, but Kapringen's master stroke is the revelation of an impasse between the moral versus the practical. There is no payoff at the end of this film, it is one the most sophisticated vérités I have seen, the meta-argument leaves you deliberating, and the film takes off like a thinker on paradox.
A Danish cargo ship, MV Rozen, is hijacked by Somali pirates en route
to Mumbai. The pirates, led by Omar (Abdihakin Asgar), who claims only
to be the negotiator, take the crew of seven hostage and demand a
ransom of $19 million in return for the ship and their lives. After an
unnerving silence lasting days, Omar engages Peter Ludvigsen (Søren
Malling), CEO of the shipping company, in a psychological game of
negotiation that shreds the nerves of both Peter and the hostages.
Kapringen (A Hijacking) focuses on Peter, who shuns the offer of a trained negotiator, and three of his crew: Mikkel (Pilou Asbæk), the ship's cook; Jan (Roland Møller), an engineer; and the captain (Keith Pearson). With pressure from the board to resolve the situation, the burden of facing distraught family members and his own guilt at being unable to solve the crises with an instant payment, Peter struggles to gain the upper hand where his failure will mean the deaths of his men.
Tobias Lindholm, who co-wrote 2012's excellent Jagten (The Hunt) writes and directs this critically acclaimed film with a similar approach, refusing to spoon feed us with gimmickry or overstated episodes, instead preferring to leave us to join the dots, to imagine what is happening in the hours, days and weeks that Kapringen passes over. Lindholm understands that our fears are greatest when we cannot see or define them. As soon as the monster in a horror film is revealed, it ceases to be terrifying, and so it is in Kapringen. It's just that the monster isn't a vampire; it's isolation, the loss of basic human rights and the constant terror of impending execution.
As the weeks unfold, we make assumptions about the nature of the horror that occurs behind the locked cabin doors. For much of the time we don't know what is occurring as Lindholm exercises the same power as Omar. When he's revealed all he wants, he simply hangs up, cuts away, to leave us wondering. The only palpable evidence is Mikkel's increased shuffling and enhanced stoop as he cowers in the hijackers' presence and withdraws into himself.
Asbæk's performance is complete. We watch him decay in mind and body and can almost smell the sweat and fear on him. His resolve evaporates and he clings to any hope or kindness even though it comes from his tormentors.
Conversely, Asgar is cold as Omar, clearly the only character enjoying the experience. He's been here numerous times and has perfected the duel personas of good cop/bad cop offering kindness and threatening murder as if he, himself, is the victim. It is a chilling situation that feels too real to be entirely comfortable and does for sailing what Jaws did for swimming almost 40 years ago.
There is an oddness in the performance of Gary Skjoldmose-Porter as Conor Julian, the maritime hijack expert called in by the shipping company. With no other listings on IMDb but a job as Corporate Security Manager at Clipper Group, he appears to have been recruited to 'be' the adviser rather than cast to 'play' him. His (lack of?) acting prowess jars at times but the impression he gives of improvising his advice as the actors around him play their own parts in the crisis adds a certain depth and reality to Kapringen.
Malling (A Royal Affair and TV's The Killing and Borgen) gives a very restrained, but moving performance as a man who takes control through his arrogance but also needs to take responsibility so as not to feel impotent. Attacked from every side in subtle ways, he somehow manages to absorb the extreme stress and when he does shows signs of buckling, it is understanding and a relief to see that he is human.
Kapringen is a film with little action and barely a raised voice but the violence is unsettling and you'll find yourself wondering what on earth sane men and women are doing sailing around the world with such risks.
Kapringen is a film you'll struggle to find at the multiplexes so make the effort to seek it out at an arts cinema. Or wait for the DVD. Just see it.

This hostage drama shows two different worlds: the despair of the crew
on a vessel that has been hijacked by Somalian pirates, and the concern
of the management of their shipping company in Copenhagen. The
juxtaposition of these two worlds, connected by a dramatic event, is
the strong cinematographic concept this film is built on.
The two worlds are very different. The crew on the ship is terrified by armed pirates they can't understand. They are locked up in a small room, where fear, heat, boredom and lack of food slowly drive them crazy. The managers in their design offices are dressed in tailored suits, wear cuff-links and drive limousines. Their fear is different, but far from negligible. The CEO chooses to personally negotiate with the pirates, and thus takes on the responsibility for the lives of his crew members. He is under great pressure from their families, from his board, and from the possibility that the press will report about the hijacking.
Director Lindholm focuses on two characters: the CEO of the shipping company and the cook on the vessel. The hijacking takes its toll on both of them, in different ways. The film switches from the clean offices in Copenhagen, where the CEO negotiates about the ransom, to the ship where the cook lives in continuous fear of being killed. The psychological approach of the film makes for great drama. Plus: this is a Danish film, so you can be sure the focus is on subtle human interaction, not on spectacular action scenes. The fact that the moment of the hijacking itself is not even shown, tells it all.
Who knew that Somali pirates would provide such rich subject matter for
filmmakers in 2013?
"A Hijacking" will invariably be compared to "Captain Phillips" if for no other reason than it came out in the same year and is about a cargo ship being hijacked by Somali pirates. But they're two very different movies about two different scenarios, so I'm not sure comparing them makes much sense. However, if absolutely forced to choose, I think I would pick "A Hijacking" as the film I enjoyed more.
"Captain Phillips" is all about the logistics of stalling to allow time for military intervention. It's at heart a straightforward action movie, with some emotional resonance late in the film to give it some ballast. "A Hijacking" is more about the emotional and psychological toll the situation takes on the film's key players, namely the cook, Mikkel, one of the hostages on board the ship, and Peter, the CEO of the company that owns the ship, on land. Peter is determined to handle the situation himself, despite warnings from the hostage negotiator not to get involved. It will get too messy and emotional, he's told, which ends up being true, and which takes a severe psychological toll on him. The same is true for the crew, Mikkel included, who must live as hostages for months never sure from one moment to the next whether or not they will survive.
The company's response to the hostage crisis is baffling to American viewers. Where in the world is the presence of any kind of military authority? Why on earth would Denmark sanction this kind of bargaining with pirates? It only encourages them to repeat their behavior. The film is comical in a morbid kind of way -- by the end, the CEO and the contact man for the pirates are exchanging faxes to negotiate an agreed upon ransom while the men on the boat rot. For all of the criticism it takes for its military bluster, it's hard to argue that the American way of dealing with such a situation isn't the better one.
A tense, finely-acted movie that, because of an incident that occurs very late in the film, may just take the wind out of you.
Grade: A
"A Hijacking" features excellent performances from two protagonists,
delivered in an unflinching fashion that lays out the scenario, and
simply allows the raw emotions to transpire on their own. The timing of
the release on Blu-Ray coincides with the theatrical release of
"Captain Phillips," which stars Tom Hanks and directed by Paul
Greengrass. The films both tell the same story of cargo freighters
hijacked by Somali pirates who seek millions in ransom. Aside from the
similar subject matter however, the two films could not be any more
different. "Captain Phillips" is an appealing action thriller concerned
with presenting a satisfying, pulse-pounding conclusion for its
audience. "A Hijacking" is a tense, grounded-in-reality based drama
without the sense of comfort of a predetermined finale.
A Danish cargo ship named the "MV Rozen" is en route to Mumbai when Somali renegades gain control of the vessel and demand millions for the return of the ship's seven-man crew. Negotiations ensue between the corporate office and the pirates that follow the give-and-take of everyday business deals, with one important difference. In this case, the goods are human beings. Shot with hand-held cameras, the movie cross-cuts between two perspectives: the captured vessel's cook Mikkel Hartmann (Pilou Asbæk), and the maritime company's hands-on CEO Peter Ludvigsen (Søren Malling).
At the outset, the two characters share a common interest, but as the bartering drags on for months, the uncertainty of an outcome takes these two men in very different directions. Danish director/writer Tobias Lindholm perfectly balances the dual psyche of the captive Mikkel and corporate CEO Peter, two psychologically exhausted protagonists in remarkably different ways. A tense, slowly unwinding ticking-clock drama this may be, but the film is as much a character study, both the powerful and the subordinate, existing under extreme duress with life or death consequences attached to their decisions.
The film isn't a white knuckle ride and the pacing is slow at times, but this is one of the cases where that's exactly the point. Lindholm's account of a contemporary piracy situation doesn't offer the commercial appeal of "Captain Phillips," but it is nonetheless completely engaging and riveting material. There could have been several predictable avenues taken by Lindholm when telling this harrowing tale of survival and perseverance, but instead he charts into unexpected territory, and delivers real drama.
With the big budget film Captain Phillips arriving in the UK recently
it reminded me that I had this much smaller film sitting unwatched in
my queue. I don't know the details of Greengrass' film, but I presume
the basic principle is the same as this film, which sees Somali pirates
take over a Danish cargo ship and demand millions of US dollars for its
release. The drama in this case unfolds in the boardroom of the company
(focused on CEO Ludvigsen) and on the ship (focused on cook Mikkel).
The film puts an emphasis on realism in how it delivers the story to the viewer; conference calls between the CEO and the pirates are filmed as conference calls (complete with time lag and echo) and the expert in maritime security that the fictional company brings in is indeed not an actor but someone who does this for a living for a shipping company. It helps that this sense of realism is so deeply embedded in the techniques because it does make the film work very well in terms of tension. This isn't Under Siege where the cook takes on the hijackers, nor is it a film where the dramatic score does the heavy lifting if anything the film sits back and lets the people just be in this situation. As a result it is a more toned back film in regard to the delivery but it works well to make everything feel tense and unpredictable the calls are as gripping as the scenes of imminent personal danger on the ship.
The cast are a big part of this. At first I was concerned that I would not be able to get into the actors since so many were familiar faces to me from Forbrydelsen, Borgen, Game of Thrones and some other shows. As it was though I didn't struggle at all because everyone plays their characters so well that I forgot they were ever anyone else. Malling was the biggest jump for me as he is very different here than when I have seen him before, but he does it very well, letting the cracks show but never overdoing it for a specific scene. Asbaek has the toughest role as it is full of danger and emotion and he convinces throughout, sharing his frustration and fear with the viewer. Supporting roles are generally good with Salim, Moller and others doing good. I particularly liked Porter; occasionally he is a little clunky when working with the actors as a performance, but generally when he is in "the room" where he works in real life then he is a great presence and again really helps the sense of realism.
Kapringen maybe doesn't have the large budget or production aims of a bigger film, but the focus on realism in the making of the film pays off to produce a story that is tense and engaging throughout. Well worth a look.

When they murdered the family of Jeremy Winston, however, it was a fatal mistake. Winston (or Ol' Job as he was known) was not a violent man - in fact he used to be a preacher before he met his wife. But after her death, Ol' Job had a desperate need for vengeance and he went after Kemper himself.
He killed two of Kemper's men before being subdued by the Marshal, after which he was thrown in jail to await trial. While incarcerated, Ol' Job was visited by the fallen angel Mammon who offered him a deal.
In exchange for his eternal soul and allegiance to Malebolgia, Ol' Job could have the freedom and power to exact revenge upon the town of Bane for the death of his family. Ol' Job accepted the deal, and the next day he was killed by Kemper's men.
After his death, Ol' Job returned to Bane as a hellspawn where he unleashed his vengeance by killing every man, woman and child in town except for one - a fellow prisoner that Mammon had forbade him from harming named Henry Simmons.
A new class of Hellspawn, created in the instant that the Al Simmons Spawn committed suicide. According to the Violator, a piece of Al Simmons' soul broke off in that moment and became a bigger, more evil version of Spawn. As though it fed off Simmons' anger and multiplied whatever evil there was within him tenfold.
After it's birth, the first Omega waged war in Hell against everything in its path, gaining power nearly equal to Malebolgia's. Omega the Conqueror laid waste to Hell's armies and then set his sights on Earth.
Others in the Omega class, replicas of the conqueror are but second rate copies. They have power to be sure, but nowhere near that of the true Omega. Also they cannot seem to speak, only grunt and snarl. One of these replicas fought the Violator in Rat City shortly before Freak revealed his true identity.
Alias: Omega the Conqueror
After it's birth, the first Omega waged war in Hell against everything in its path, gaining power nearly equal to Malebolgia's. Omega spawn, also called Omega the Conqueror, laid waste to Hell's armies and then set his sights on Earth. There are others in the Omega class, but they are replicas of the conqueror and are but second rate copies. They have power to be sure, but nowhere near that of the true Omega.
Alias: Orbital Angel Station
A man-made space station that Heaven saw fit to annex during Gabrielle's tenure as Director of Terran Affairs. They hollowed out the humans living in the space station and installed their own essences within them.
The station was then the site of the creation of the Anti-Spawn, the first Redeemer. After the Redeemer's first failed attempt at defeating Spawn, he was recalled to the Orbital Angel Station to be endowed with even more elemental fire and then sent into battle once again.
After the Redeemer failed once again and Gabrielle was removed from her position, the station was redubbed Orbital Station One, and placed under the authority of Rafael. She told them that she would be running things more efficiently than Gabrielle, and immediately inquired as to the location of the current hellspawn.
Orbital Station One revealed that there were currently 3 tracked entities within New York, and that one of them (the weakest signal), may have been a power transference from Spawn. Rafael ordered the creation of a new Redeemer, from a "good soul" this time, whose first mission was to capture the weak hellspawn signal (Spawn's friend Bobby).
The station created the second Redeemer from a man named Phil Timper, and he was successful in capturing Bobby. Not long after, however, the station was forced to release Bobby once again when Spawn stormed the Terran Headquarters and took Mary hostage.
Alias: Chris Pronger
Chris "Orca" Pronger was a mafia hitman working for Antonio Twistelli. Known for his skill and precision, Pronger gained his nickname because he was a deadly killer and "built like a whale". He carried out countless successful hits on people such as Johnny Pasquali and Johnny Terrenzo, until he was beheaded by Tremor.

Playing Tips
How to play you ask me?
Very easy, you will be the first one to walk into the enemy.
Always turn on Eclipse when you getting near enemy.
If your ally can reach you within short distance, they are very near to you, or your ally has long range firing support (for example Ashe, Lux, Jinx) and their ulti is GREEN (ready), you can use Zenith Blade and stun your enemy.
If they are not around, just walk to enemy and stun.
Next thing is, you need to train for aiming to land the Solar Flare accurately.
Only use Solar Flare when your ally is near.
By the time you get Sunfire Cape, Leona is Anti-Turret. You can always tank the turret and fight under turret as if the turret is not existed.
And, Leona is very tanky. Most probably the enemy won't aim you at the first place.
So, your primary mission is stun the enemy for your ally to kill.
Just walk towards the enemy and tank it, stun it.

Thanks in advance, Miri
To me, looks like a custom
To me, looks like a custom job based on Handel Gothic (/e eye closed, /o redrawn from /d bowl and the all thing slightly extended then slanted). ITC] has a version with italics but /a is off.

Just sold the last physical copy of The Ownership Society. There may be a few more floating around on Amazon, but I don't anticipate doing another run of CDs. If you'd like a digital copy, please get in touch (details in the sidebar). Thank you for listening.
Here's another video featuring one of the songs from my first album. And I thought "walking the dog" was hard… In honor of the occasion, I love this song:
And you thought Razor Scooters were just for hyper kids or awkward looking men in business attire… These two videos use songs from my first album, "The Ownership Society." I like that these two sports did not exist when I was in high school.
This one is stirring up quite the debate over at New Scientist. It's based on Amanda Gefter's excellent piece, part of the New Scientist existential issue. If the video leaves more questions than answers, I highly recommend Amanda's story. I hopefully will get a version of the music out soon, for those interested.
Here's my latest animated explainer, tied to Pat Shipman's feature on how humans evolved to care for animals in the 28 May issue of New Scientist. This one has some sound effects and more complicated transitions. If you'd like to see more, here are my previous explainers on free will, dreams, and living in a [...]

"Paediatric A&E visit"
About: St George's Hospital (Tooting) (London) St George's Hospital (Tooting) (London) London SW17 0QT
Posted via NHS Choices
My 16 year old daughter is 20 weeks pregnant and has had 3-4 visits to A&E due to a terribe pregnancy. She has been treated so well and the staff have been very caring, understanding and professional. They have reassured her and answered all her questions. On our last visit, she was very aggitated and in a lot of pain. The triage nurse found her her a bed so that she had some privacy and we left the hospital just one hour and forty five minutes later. I cannot fault the staff of the A&E department who work tirelessly under sometimes very difficult conditions and never fail to welcome you with a smile and a caring nature. Well done to all of you. I actually work in the Radiology Dept of St. George's but the staff were completely unware of this.

I have just downloaded and watched this new v-log and can't wait to paint it. I love the colour of the water and the dolphins look so serene. My only problem is that I have an inkling it won't be anywhere as easy to paint as Mark makes it look!! Thank you for another wonderful tutorial that is so easy to follow.
Sami, QLD
I really enjoyed this tutorial. I've learnt so much about shaping objects, and using colour and shades underwater. I love how the highlights make the dolphins really pop out and I've already started my own painting. I'm also looking forward to trying the same scene using a different colour range.

From 30 June 2016, the annual return that all UK companies must file at Companies House has been replaced by a confirmation statement.
The basic difference between the annual return and the confirmation statement is that the confirmation statement will not require previously delivered information to be repeated, making it simpler to complete. Instead a company will confirm that the relevant information has either been delivered to Companies House as required during the year or (if it cannot give this confirmation) is being delivered with the confirmation statement.
The confirmation statement covers the same areas of information regarding the company, its directors and shareholders as the annual return, but also reflects recent changes in company law. In particular:
- A company will have to supply information about its register of people with significant control (or state that it is exempt from the requirement to keep one).
- Where a private company has elected to keep statutory registers on the Companies House public register (seeĀ Companies House: private company registers) it will have to confirm that all information necessary to keep those registers up to date has been filed at Companies House.
Unlike the annual return, there is no set date each year up to which the confirmation statement must be made. The only requirement is that no more than 12 months must elapse between confirmation statements. This rolling 12-month period means that a company can combine making a confirmation statement with another filing at any point during the year if this is administratively easier.
The fee for filing a confirmation statement will be the same as the fee for filing an annual return. This is Ż13 if online and Ż40 by paper. The confirmation statement regime also applies to LLPs.
