Swizz Beatz - Candy Green
Artist: Swizz Beatz
Producer: The Individuals
Album: Sound of Color
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 23 votes )
Developed by Gap Clothing and Rehab (a San Francisco-based production company), five artists across multiple genres were asked to record original material that represented the Sound of Color. Asked to write and perform a treatment for the color green, Swizz Beatz partnered with producers The Individuals, and together they created a song about driving in a drop top through the flashy streets of Miami, Florida. While Candy Green will probably remind listeners of the Swizzy-produced Candy Paint (off Bone Thugs N' Harmony's Strength N' Loyalty), the two songs sound completely different. A video for the song was directed by Tom Gatsoulis and can be found at the official Sound of Color Website.

The Cat Returns recalls Whisper of the Heart and Takashi Nakamura's Catnapped, but it offers neither the wistful charm of the former nor the bold visual imagination of the latter. Hayao Miyazaki has been seeking young directors for Studio Ghibli for several years. After preparing the script and storyboards for Whisper, he turned the film over to Yoshifumi Kondo, who died tragically shortly after the film's release. The Cat Returns was directed by Hiroyuki Morita, who shows promise, but lacks Kondo's elegant sensibility. The DVD extras include a fulsome making-of documentary, Morita's voluminous storyboards, and mini-interviews with the vocal cast that includes Tim Curry, Cary Elwes, Peter Boyle, and Elliott Gould. (Rated G: minor scary imagery and cartoon violence) --Charles Solomon

Building a store's credibility is the first step towards achieving success in business. But it is said that building a reputation online may seem to be different as there is the continuous battle to erase the stereotype made by fraudulent sites. To succeed in this deal, you really need to pour in a lot of effort and time. We have got you covered though so here are some of the ways you can make use of to boost your online store's credibility.
Have a lasting impression
Create an impression by building an eye catching page first. Allow a simple interface that users can navigate to easily. Since the new generations are more particular with the look of pages one can trust, it is best to stay away from flashy buttons and banners. Make your site appear professional as much as possible.
Post Company's Details
Posting everything about the business like its history, the people behind it and contact details that users can just make use of to connect to the company is an instant credibility booster. By displaying all the facts about the company, you are giving out an impression that you have nothing to hide. This alone will let people feel at ease dealing with you.
Set Up a Feedback Pane
Another easy credibility booster is the feedback pane. Adding one in your page will allow users to see the feedbacks that other consumers have posted. Seeing positive deals on the pane will just instantly cause your reputation to shoot up.
Post Only the Truth
Consumers nowadays are meticulous when it comes to the promises that companies offer their patrons. Since you are asking for people's attention, it is just right to also return the favor by posting only the truth about your products and services.
You need to really be careful about posting insincere things in your site. Remember that any inconsistency in your post will permanently bring a huge impact in your business.
These are four of the most useful credibility boosting ways in building an online store. Keep these in mind especially if you are still starting with your online business to ensure a good start.

STARKVILLE Dorey Gray thought she knew how to set a volleyball. The Mississippi State senior didnt think she was perfect, by any means, but after seven or eight years she believed she was proficient as a setter. In less than a year, MSU first-year coach Jenny Hazelwood has introduced Gray to a new way of playing her position.
STARKVILLE Mississippi State sophomore offensive guard Quentin Saulsberry knows it will be important for the Bulldogs to establish a running game this season. Even though MSU is set to run a spread offense with coach Dan Mullen, Saulsberry said that doesnt mean there will be more pass than run.
STARKVILLE Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen isnt releasing details on two key issues about his team as he enters his first game week. Mullen has chosen not to discuss what, if any, suspension he plans for senior running back Anthony Dixon.
STARKVILLE Mississippi State has looked into the possibility of playing in-state schools more often as its athletic department looks for ways to make trips closer to home and to save money. MSU Athletic Director Greg Byrne said Monday the school is open to playing opponents in Mississippi as long as it fits what its trying to do competitively and financially and the game meets its scheduling philosophy.
STARKVILLE Mississippi State basketball team spokesman Gregg Ellis said Monday that All-Southeastern Conference forward Jarvis Varnado became ill during an individual workout and was taken to the hospital. Varnado first went to the Oktibbeha County Hospital for evaluation. He then was sent to the Northeast Mississippi Medical Center for further tests as a precautionary measure.
STARKVILLE Mississippi State defensive coordinator Carl Torbush believes the defensive line is the most improved part of his unit. The Bulldogs struggled in that area last season, especially when it came to stopping the run. MSUs defense allowed opponents to rush for an average of 150.9 yards per game last year, which was 11th out of the 12 programs in the Southeastern Conference.
The challenge has been set for the Mississippi State womens basketball team. Now coach Sharon Fanning-Otis wants the Lady Bulldogs to go from earning good wins to chalking up great ones. The teams 2009-10 schedule, which was released Friday morning, should afford MSU plenty of chances to earn the signatures victories that allow teams to secure postseason bids.
STARKVILLE Mississippi State junior tight end Thomas Webb knows about homesickness. After graduating from Starkville High School in 2005, Webb saw an opportunity to leave home and play for coach Jeff Bower at Southern Mississippi. Webb had an offer to attend MSU, but he didnt think it was the right thing to do and was ready to leave town.
STARKVILLE The presence of former Mississippi State football coach Jackie Sherrill at last Saturdays closed scrimmage didnt violate any of the parameters set forth in the self-imposed penalties for an incident that occurred during spring practice.
FULTON Tevin Blanchard didnt expect to wind up at Itawamba Community College. As a standout on the Aberdeen High School football team last season, Blanchard entertained dreams of earning a scholarship to play major Division I college football.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. The University of Alabama volleyball team hopes focusing on smaller goals and taking them slower helps it accomplish a larger goal this season. A strong spring season and a competitive preseason has the Lady Crimson Tide ready to start the season against Saint Louis at 7 p.m. Friday in the SLU Active Ankle Challenge in St. Louis. I think every team know what it wants to do, and I think when you set smaller goals and you reach them you get more encouragement and more affirmation, senior right-side hitter Liz Salstrand said.
SCOOBA East Mississippi Community College football coach Buddy Stephens describes the center position as the traffic cop of the offensive line. The center is crucial in alerting guards and tackles to the location of an opponents linebackers. Centers also make calls for the offensive line that allow adjustments for the correct stance before the football is snapped.
STARKVILLE Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen was a little more demanding on the first practice of the week since the teams scrimmage Saturday. Thats because he noticed several things to work on. Weve got a long way to go, Mullen said. Weve got to get a lot better and clean up a lot with all of the phases the next couple of days, so everything looks cleaner for game week. Turnovers and allowing big plays on defense bothered Mullen the most in the scrimmage.
STARKVILLE Paul Buzzy Mize of the Henry Mize Foundation said the Humphrey Coliseum is getting a front door. That door that door will give the Mississippi State mens and womens basketball teams a new opportunity to improve their programs. The Mize Foundation has provided the lead gift of $4 million toward plans for a $11.2 million indoor basketball practice facility that were announced Monday afternoon.
STARKVILLE The anticipation surrounding the Mississippi State football season generated a lot of positive energy Monday as students purchased a single-day record of more than 7,000 season tickets. MSU football coach Dan Mullen, who visited several student organizations to promote the program, was pleased to hear about the response.
STARKVILLE Back from helping Team USA win the bronze medal in July at the World University Games, Mississippi State senior center Jarvis Varnado is ready to focus on the upcoming season. Varnado is excited about what the Bulldogs can accomplish, especially with high-profiled signees like Renardo Sidney and John Riek.
STARKVILLE With a new head coach and a new spread offense in the works, the Mississippi State football team this season has the potential to surprise some people, assistant coach Rockey Felker told the Starkville Rotary Club Monday afternoon.
OXFORD Each season brings a new sense of energy for Steve Holeman. This season, though, will be unique for the University of Mississippi womens soccer coach. The Lady Rebels will rely on the experience of 11 returning players, but they also will count on contributions from 15 freshmen who are part of a class of 18 newcomers. The group of newcomers is the largest since Holeman was hired as the programs first and only coach in 1994.
STARKVILLE -- Mississippi State basketball team spokesman Gregg Ellis confirmed Saturday morning that sophomore backup point guard Twany Beckham plans to have hip surgery and will be out for the season. Hes got bone spurs in both hips and will have surgery in a couple of weeks, Ellis said. Beckham, who was experiencing chronic pain because of the condition, will have surgery on one side, then undergo several months of rehabilitation before having the same procedure done on the other side.
STARKVILLE Mississippi State junior wide receiver Kyle Roberts likes to be in game-like situations in scrimmages. Thats because it gives the former East Oktibbeha and East Mississippi Community College player more chances to impress his coaches. Roberts believes he continues to make strides since walking on to the program in the spring. He said he hopes to continue to take advantage of every opportunity afforded to him.

Corporate governance
The Group's corporate governance framework plays a key role in supporting our business operations. It provides clear guidance on how authority is exercised within the group.
As a fundamental element of our culture and our business practices, our corporate governance framework provides guidance for effective decision making in all areas of the Group through:
- strategic and operational planning
- risk management and compliance
- financial management and external reporting
- succession planning and culture.
You can read about the key aspects of our corporate governance framework and practices for the 2014 year in the Corporate Governance Statement (PDF, 31KB), and our compliance with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations in the 2014 checklist. (DOC, 176KB)
Key documents and policies which form part of our corporate governance framework and highlight the Group's significant commitment to corporate governance are set out below.
Principal Board Charter
The Group is governed by the Board of Directors. Information on the authority, responsibilities, membership and operation of the Board is set out in the Board Charter.
Independence of Directors
Directors are expected to bring independent views and judgement to Board deliberations. An independent Director must be independent of management and able to exercise unfettered and independent judgement, free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with the exercise of the director's ability to act in the best interests of the Group.
In assessing whether a director is independent, the Board has regard to the standards it has adopted that reflect the independence requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations.
To assist the Board in determining independence, each non-executive Director is required to make an annual disclosure of all relevant information to the Board. Any assessment of independence for a non-executive Director who does not meet the independence standards adopted by the Board will be specifically disclosed to the market.
The non-executive Directors meet informally from time to time, without management present, to ensure that the non-executive Directors maintain independence of thought and judgement.
The Directors the Board considered to be independent are identified in the Report of the Directors in our Annual Financial Report along with their period in office.
For more information on the Independence Standards (part of the Board Charter) that are considered when assessing Director independence, see the 'Independent Director' Standards (pdf).
Board Committees
The Board may from time to time establish committees as it considers necessary or appropriate to assist the Board in carrying out its responsibilities.
Board committees and their respective charters which include information on the composition, responsibilities and administration of each committee are set out below:
- Principal Board Risk Committee Charter (pdf)
- Principal Board Audit Committee Charter (pdf)
- Remuneration Committee Charter (pdf)

Code of Conduct
Continuous Disclosure
The Group has adopted a disclosure policy that is designed to ensure that:
- we disclose activities to shareholders and the market in a full and timely manner and comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
- all stakeholders have an equal opportunity to receive and obtain externally available information issued by the Group.
We will immediately notify the market (by announcing to the stock exchanges on which our securities are listed) of any information related to our businesses which a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of our securities.
In certain circumstances, the applicable listing rules permit the Group not to disclose such material information.
Our policy provides that, in general, the Group will not respond to market speculation or rumours unless required to do so by law or the Australian Securities Exchange.
The Company Secretary is responsible for communicating with the relevant stock exchanges on which the securities of the Group are listed. All such releases, including relevant external briefing and presentation materials, will be made available on our website.
In appropriate circumstances, we may request a trading halt from the Australian Securities Exchange to prevent trading in the Group's securities by an inefficient and uninformed market.
For more information see the Group Disclosure & External Communication Policy (pdf).
Stakeholder Communications
The Group aims to be open and transparent with all our stakeholders, including our shareholders, and to make all communications easy to access and in plain English.
Information is communicated to shareholders regularly through a range of forums, publications and online. These include:
- the Annual General Meeting
- notices and explanatory memoranda of Annual General Meetings
- the Annual Financial Report (for those shareholders who have requested a copy)
- the Annual Review (for those shareholders who have requested a copy)
- regular trading updates and market/investor briefings
- letters from the Chairman to inform shareholders of key matters of interest
- the Group's website, providing access to announcements, media releases, financial reports, previous years' financial results and investor presentations.
The Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM) provides details of the location, time and date of the AGM, the business to be considered by shareholders and details about each candidate standing for election or re-election as a Director. For those shareholders unable to attend the AGM, a webcast is available on our AGM page. Our external auditors attend this meeting and are available to answer shareholder questions about the conduct of the audit and preparation and content of the auditor's report.
The Group is committed to creating and maintaining a workforce which is representative of our customers and communities and in which individual differences are valued and respected – it's good for our employees and good for the business.
It helps attract and retain talented people, create more innovative solutions, and be more flexible and responsive to our customers' and shareholders' needs. There is increasing momentum on diversity with a particular focus on gender and age, as well as greater work and career flexibility.
Gender diversity and inclusion continues to be a key priority for the Group. The Company is committed to building strong female representation at all levels within the Group, including executive management.
During the year, the responsibilities of the Group's Diversity Forum, which was established in 2010 to oversee the execution of the diversity and inclusion agenda, were transferred to the Group Executive Committee. The Group Executive Committee now has direct accountability for execution of this agenda. The Board receives regular updates on diversity from senior executives of the Group.
The Company makes the following disclosures in relation to the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations relating to diversity:
Diversity policy (Recommendation 3.2)
In line with our commitment to diversity, the Group has a Diversity and Inclusion Policy (pdf).
Measurable objectives and progress (Recommendation 3.3)
The measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity which have been set by the Board in accordance with the Group Diversity & Inclusion Policy, and our progress towards achieving them, are set out in the table below.
Measurable objectives
- Increase the number of women in executive management (the top three layers of the organisation1), from 23% to 33% by 2015.
- Increase the proportion of women on Group subsidiary boards from 14% to 30% by 2015.
- Increase the number of female non-executive directors on the Board of directors of the Company, as vacancies and circumstances allow, with the aim of achieving a representation of at least 30%.
- Strengthen the talent pipeline by targeting a 50/50 gender balance in the Australian graduate program intake and an even representation of women and men on NAB's core Australian talent development programs from 2011 onwards.
- As at 30 September 2013, 30% of the Group's executive management were women.
- We have actively encouraged women to join Group subsidiary boards during the year. Of the total number of subsidiary directors, the proportion of women has increased to 31% as at 30 September 2013.
- The proportion of female non-executive Directors on the Board as at 30 September 2013 was 11%. (see Succession planning on page 53 in our Corporate Governance statement).
- Graduate program (Australia): As at 30 September 2013, 47% of the graduates who have accepted positions in NAB's 2014 graduate program are women.
- Core talent development programs (Australia): For the 2013 financial year, 47% of the Australian talent development program participants, on an aggregated basis across NAB's core talent development programs (Elevate, Ignite and Accelerate), were women.
Proportion of women employees and Board members (Recommendation 3.4)
- Proportion of women employees in the whole organisation.
- Proportion of women in senior executive positions (executive management positions) within the Group.
- Proportion of women on the Board of the Company.
- As at 30 September 2013, 57% of the Group's employees were women.
- As at 30 September 2013, 30% of the senior executive positions within the Group were held by women.
- As at 30 September 2013, 9% of the Company's Board of Directors (including executive directors) were women.
- The Company is committed to ensuring that the composition of its Board continues to be appropriate (see Succession planning on page 53 in our Corporate Governance statement).
1 Executive management positions (also known as senior executive positions) are those held by Group Executive Committee members, Group Executive Committee members' direct reports, and their direct reports. Note: Support roles reporting into these roles (for example, Executive Manager and Executive Assistant) are not included in the data.
Diversity activities and initiatives
Some of the Group's diversity and inclusion activities during the year include:
Women in executive management positions:
The Group is committed to creating and maintaining a workforce which is representative of our customers and communities. A key part of this is creating a workplace where women are able to grow their careers and that also supports their personal and family life.
Some of our diversity and inclusion initiatives for women include:
- requiring that a mix of men and women be short-listed for executive management roles in Australia and that men and women make hiring decisions on interview panels together, where possible;
- offering a range of programs in Australia including 'Realise' which prepares women for the transition into more senior role, and
- 'NAB Board Ready' which supports women by coaching and educating them in the skills necessary for subsidiary board positions and community partner directorships. The key goal of the program is to build a pipeline of women who are competent, up-skilled and ready to join the boards of the Group's subsidiary companies.
Service recognition
In 2013, the Group changed the way service is calculated for the purpose of recognising career milestones. Any extended leave that employees take (or have taken in the past) is now included in the calculation of their years of tenure for service recognition. Many women take extended breaks from the workplace while on parental leave - this change recognises women's ongoing service to the Group and demonstrates our commitment to equality in the workplace.
Domestic Violence Support Policy
Domestic violence affects an employee's attendance at work, performance and safety. It also costs Australian workplaces and businesses in loss of productivity, attendance and turn over. To address this, the Group launched its first Domestic Violence Support Policy, the first of its kind for a major Australian bank, which supports our employees who experience domestic violence in dealing with the impacts of this issue.
Women in Leadership Award
Bank of New Zealand was honoured by the Women's Empowerment Principles, a joint initiative of UN Women and the UN Global Compact in its inaugural leadership awards for its work in driving greater representation of women at senior management level.
The Accessibility Action Plan 2012-2014
In Australia, on 3 December 2012, International Day of People with a Disability, we launched our Accessibility Action Plan 2012-2014. The Plan demonstrates how we are developing an inclusive and supportive culture at NAB to help remove the barriers to access that exist for people with a disability.
Corporate Responsibility
Our approach to corporate responsibility
The Group's approach to corporate responsibility (CR) seeks to ensure that our beliefs and behaviours are embedded in our everyday decision making and our longer-term planning for the future. This approach is centred around the following core commitments:
- Getting the fundamentals right with our customers - by delivering fair value and quality advice;
- Being a good employer - through investing in the skills and capabilities of our employees; and
- Addressing our broader responsibility to society - by supporting communities, managing our environmental impact and having a positive impact through our supply chain.
We ensure our CR approach continues to be relevant by:
- engaging with our stakeholders in each of these commitment areas to inform us of current and emerging material issues, challenging us to develop mutually beneficial solutions and helping us to define our strategic direction;
- developing a CR strategy that sets clear objectives, establishes appropriate policies, procedures and activities and includes measuring and reporting on our progress;
- integrating CR management and reporting into the Company's governance structures and internal communication to ensure that CR is understood by our Board, Executive Leadership Team and our people; and
- focussing on three key areas where we are well placed to create a positive impact; help people develop a healthy relationship with money, build prosperous communities and support a future focused nation.
The NAB Advisory Council on Corporate Responsibility, co-chaired by the Dr Chris Sarra and the Group Chief Executive Officer, comprises a range of experienced internal and external advisors, who help guide the Company with strategic advice and feedback in relation to the Group's CR strategy and activities.
In 2011, a CR Council was established, consisting of the Executive Leadership Team, and chaired by the Executive Director, Finance. This Council meets twice a year. Our CR performance is reported to this committee and to the NAB Advisory Council on Corporate Responsibility on a half yearly basis, and an update on our CR strategy is provided to the Board on an annual basis.
Corporate responsibility performance
Further information on our CR approach, scorecard and performance is provided in our Annual Review (PDF, 4.67MB) or by visiting Corporate Responsibility. External assurance is provided over the CR data contained in the Annual Review.

Risk Management
Risk exists in every aspect of our business and the environment in which we operate. We identify and manage risk as part of a Group-wide Risk Management Framework (RMF), which is the totality of systems, structures, policies, processes and people that identify, measure, evaluate, monitor, report and control or mitigate all internal and external sources of material risk.
The Risk Management Framework supports the Group in:
- identifying, analysing and understanding each of the material risks at all levels of the Group;
- ensuring that appropriate strategies, policies, effective operating controls and other mitigants are in place and operating effectively;
- providing reliable and meaningful risk information (i.e. reporting) to decision-makers;
- ensuring that there is adequate oversight of the risk profile and management framework; and
- facilitating a proactive risk culture.
The Group manages risk using a Three Lines of Defence model. Operational accountability for risk management activities across each Line of Defence is articulated in our Risk Management Accountability Model. The key principles to this model are that risk management activities:
- are clearly understood;
- re focused on enhancing sustainable business performance;
- are efficient;
- assess and confirm the effectiveness of the Risk and Control Framework; and
- review the current and emerging risk profile.
Our RMF starts with our Board approved Strategy, Risk Appetite, Capital, Funding and Operational Plans. Risk Appetite is translated and cascaded to the businesses qualitatively (through risk policies, standards and operating procedures) and quantitatively (through the Group's risk limits, settings and decision authorities).
We also have a set of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Risk Principles (PDF 433KB), which provide an overarching framework for integrating ESG risk considerations into the RMF and day-to-day decision-making.
Compliance with the RMF is non-negotiable.
Our RMF is described in detail in our Risk Management Strategy (RMS), which is provided annually to the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority to meet our prudential requirements.
Our material risk categories, which are detailed in our RMS, are:
Risk Category
The risk of loss from...
Credit Risk
…the potential that a counterparty or customer will fail to meet its obligations to the Group in accordance with agreed terms"
Operational Risk
…inadequate or failed internal processes and controls, people and systems or external events"
Compliance Risk
…failing to understand and comply with relevant laws, regulations, licence conditions, supervisory requirements, self-regulatory industry codes and voluntary initiatives, as well as internal policies, standards, procedures, and frameworks"
Balance Sheet and Liquidity Risk
…the Group's banking book activities, including capital, funding, liquidity, interest rate, foreign exchange and equity"
Traded Market Risk
…adverse changes in fair value of positions from the Group's book trading activities, as a result of movements in foreign exchange and interest rates, volatilities and credit spreads"
Life Insurance Risk
…when payments under life insurance policies exceed those anticipated in the premiums collected and underlying investment income earned"
Regulatory Risk
…failing to identify and monitor changes in the regulatory environment, damaging the Group's relationship with its regulators, and failing to take the opportunity to help shape the development of emerging legislative framework and / or to effectively implement the required changes"
Defined Benefit Pension Risk
|…the Group's defined benefit pension scheme being in deficit (i.e. the fund assets are at value below the discounted value of current and future pension fund obligations"
Strategic Risk (including positioning and execution risk)
Positioning…strategic choices that we make and their ongoing viability in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in the environment, including improper management of the assumed or embedded risks within those strategic choices"
Execution…failing to execute the chosen strategy, including understanding the dependencies of success and responsiveness to changes in these factors"
Risk Governance
Our risk governance and oversight starts at Board level. The Board determines the most appropriate corporate governance practices for the Group and is supported by a number of committees. The Principal Board Risk Committee (PBRC) supports the framework for risk management across the Group by:
- overseeing the risk profile and risk management of the NAB Group within the context of the Board determined risk appetite;
- making recommendations to the Board concerning the NAB Group's risk appetite and particular risks or risk management practices;
- reviewing management's plans for mitigation of material risks faced by the NAB Group;
- overseeing the implementation and review of risk management and internal compliance and control systems throughout the NAB Group;
- promoting awareness of a risk-based culture and the achievement of a balance between risk and reward for risks accepted.
At an executive level, risk is overseen by the Group Chief Executive Officer through the Group Risk Return Management Committee (GRRMC) and its supporting sub-committees, which leads management in respect of risk matters relating to culture, integrated governance processes, risk strategy and performance.
Additionally, each First Line division has a risk management committee, chaired by the relevant Group Executive, to support them in executing their risk management accountabilities. Second Line risk specialists are embedded in the organisational structure (for example, as members of divisional Risk Management Committees and Executive management committees) to ensure that a risk and compliance lens is applied to executive decision making.
Political Donations
Support of political parties
Group representatives will often attend political party conferences and political functions. Such attendance must be for strictly commercial reasons and is dependent on the price charged not being in excess of the commercial value (in terms of access) of that function.
The Principal Board is the sole body authorised to approve any other support of political parties on behalf of the Group or its subsidiaries.
How are donations disclosed?
Australia: the Group makes an annual third party disclosure return, lodged with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC). This return is made publicly available on the AEC website. Given that we are banker to many political parties the amount of their facilities owing to the bank is often disclosed, even though the transactions are commercial in nature.
New Zealand: political donations are administered by the Electoral Commission. Under the Electoral Act 1993 the secretary of each registered party must provide the Electoral Commission with an accurate audited return showing the names and addresses of every person or body of persons who made one or more donations to the party during the previous calendar year totalling more than $1,000. Returns are available on the Electoral Commission website.
United Kingdom: disclosure of political donations is regulated through the registration and financial regulatory requirements of the Companies Act (2006). Under the provisions of this Act, donor companies need to state the level of political donations made in the relevant financial year in the annual report.
In line with the various regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions that the Group operates all information on political donations is included in our Annual Financial Report (PDF 3.5MB).
Remuneration Management
The Board is responsible for the Group's general performance and reward strategy. In particular, the Board approves:
- remuneration policy and Total Reward packages for the Group CEO and direct reports
- remuneration arrangements for non-executive Directors (as detailed in the Remuneration report).
The Board has established a Remuneration Committee (the Committee) to assist it in managing remuneration across the Group.
Committee decisions are made as far as practicable to align remuneration with shareholder returns, in accordance with regional regulatory requirements and global regulatory trends. The Committee has established remuneration frameworks in place at a Group level to assist with remuneration decisions.
The Committee takes specialist remuneration advice from external advisers, as appropriate. Where the Committee engages independent experts, their advice is provided directly to the Committee, independent of management.
The Board reviews and evaluates its own 'Board performance' with the guidance of the Nomination Committee. The process involves consideration of all of the Board's key areas of responsibility and involves a '360 degree feedback' process, including feedback from the Directors and senior executives on the performance of the Board.
More information on the Group's remuneration is available in:
Managing Financial Crime

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Letter of the Day
Getting the best from wind
Glenn Schneider, Manitoba's Hydro's spokesman, claims "wind energy is not dispatchable" (Trim Hydro plans: ex-minister, Dec. 20). He's right. Wind energy has to be "firmed" so it can be used when needed, not only when the wind blows.
That's exactly why Manitoba Hydro has a huge advantage in its water storage. When the wind blows and we don't need the power, Hydro can shut down turbines and "store" the wind energy in the potential energy of water. That's what Hydro does in winter when it buys power at night from the States; it shuts down turbines and starts them up again in the daytime.
Hydro has even traded away some of our valuable water storage capacity to North Dakota. Here's what the Free Press reported last Jan. 28 (State approves deal with Hydro): "The agreement... also calls for Minnesota Power to have the ability to store excess wind energy... with Manitoba Hydro when wind production is high... maximizing the value of its wind production."
Not only does this make wind "dispatchable," it means Hydro has sold its storage to American interests instead of supporting Manitoba wind industries.

Originally written on MarlinsBaseball.com | Last updated 11/15/14
The Miami Marlins won their first game of the Grapefruit League season on Monday with a 4-3 final score over the St. Louis Cardinals. The game took place in Roger Dean Stadium which is the Spring home of both teams. Greg Dobbs who signed a two year contract this past off-season led the way with a 3-3 game including two doubles, a home run and three runs batted in. The veteran is expected to serve as a reserve corner infielder and pinch hit option once again in 2012. Besides Dobbs' spectacular day at the plate, there was a welcome sight for the Marlins on the mound as Josh Johnson pitched for the first time since last May. The ace hit 93mph on the gun which is a great number for a first Spring outing. He struck out two and worked 1.2 scoreless frames before exiting due to a 40-pitch limit. When Johnson goes again in five days, it's likely he will work a little longer. Also seeing time on the mound in this game were Wade LeBlanc, Chad Gaudin, Gary Glover, Jose Ceda, Chr...

A man accused of killing a boy left in his care for several hours traded texts and calls with the boy's mother but never indicated the child was seriously injured, the woman testified this week.
Edmond woman said she trusted man accused of killing her son
Sara Babakhani of Edmond, cried throughout her testimony Wednesday in the murder trial of ex-boyfriend Rico Antwoine Berry.
Babakhani recounted for jurors how she returned from a day of classes at Langston University to find her 2-year-old son unresponsive and his lips blue.
She confronted Berry when she saw bruising on the boy's neck and head.
"I asked him a few times (what happened)," she testified. "He said he didn't know."
The woman told the jury she had no concerns about leaving her son with Berry, who had moved in a week before the child's death. The couple had been dating for 10 months, she said.
Babakhani said she normally took the boy to day care but kept him home because he was sick.
Berry, 28, of Edmond, is charged with first-degree murder and child neglect in the Oct. 14, 2009, death of Jolen Babakhani.
In their opening statement, prosecutors said the boy suffered blunt force trauma to the head which caused irreparable brain damage. The boy also had "massive bruising" around his throat and forehead.

When do you guys start weeding through books... or do you
|Thu, 05-12-2011 - 1:19pm
We actually had an architect draw up plans to convert a screened in porch to a library to deal with this problem, but realized it would be too expensive to do and that we'd miss the porch.
For really old and less important books, we take them to the swap shop at the town transfer station or give them to the library. The other ones just get stacked on the floors of people's rooms (DD has a stack that she uses as a nightstand.) We're pretty cluttery here, but may be moving, so I am going to make the kids weed out the less valuable books this summer and give them away.
I do think having a Kindle helps. I haven't bought a book for myself in more than a year, so maybe if everyone gets some type of electronic reader, we will be able to cut down on the clutter at some point.

I have not had that much success getting my boys to read some of the unisex or more boy oriented books I loved as a kid like Half Magic, the magical books by E. Nesbitt (Phoenix and the Carpet etc). or even the Narnia books. Didn't even try the Secret Garden or A Little Princess with them. OTOH, I loved reading the Harry Potter series along with them and my older two enjoyed the Belgariad series by David Eddings that I had previously read. I certainly get a bit jealous of my friends who can share books with their teenaged daughters - not as likely here. I know we would have even more books if one of the boys had happened to be a girl.

We started weeding about 2 years ago with the toddler and early reader sorts of books. I also managed to get rid of all the "second tier" picture books... you know the ones you have that added some variety to the younger years but aren't great stories. I got rid of a lot of the horse novels that DD read because DS has no interest what-so-ever. There are some we'll be keeping long after the kids leave the house like some favored picture books and some series.
We give all our books to the kid's youth theatre that sell them outside during shows. They make thousands a year at 50 cents a book. Of course, it tends to backfire... I drop off our donations and come home with a bunch of new books for us lol.

We still have books that dd20 read... because we're saving them for ds9! So, with four kids spread out, we don't tend to get rid of lots of books until we've had them about ten years, lol. Even the so-called "girl" books get read - ds10 read books like "The Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden."
We do donate as we weed, though - usually to a bus program that visits the inner city and gives food, medical care and books out to those who need it.

Old Ebbitt Grill is just steps from The White House and museums in downtown Washington. Established in 1856, it was a favorite of Presidents Grant, Cleveland, Harding and Theodore Roosevelt and is still a popular meeting spot for political insiders, journalists, celebrities and theater-goers.
Its Beaux-Arts facade, mahogany and velvet booths and bars set in marble, brass and beveled glass are Washington at its finest, and The Oyster Bar at Old Ebbitt is D.C.'s most famous.
The Ebbit serves upscale american saloon food with an emphasis on fresh and seasonal ingredients. View Menus
Our extensive wine list has been awarded Wine Spectator Magazine's "Award of Excellence" for 16 years in row. Our progressive wine list is designed to please both novices and wine enthusiasts.

The Victorian interior of Old Ebbitt Grill evokes Washington saloons at the turn of the century. With a history dating back to 1856, many artifacts have been beyond repair, however the spirit of the old Old Ebbitt remains. Original decorations such as antique beer steins, a walrus head (reputedly bagged by Teddy Roosevelt) and the antique clock over the revolving door remain. Its Beaux-Arts facade, mahogany and velvet booths and bars set in marble, brass and beveled glass are Washington at its finest.

Georgia Brown warmly opened its doors in 1993.
Part of the visual appeal of the restaurant lends itself to the bronzed ceiling scroll, reminiscent of the grand oak trees that are outstretched like a lace border over Southern Streets. We also use the honey bee in our logo, designated The Georgia State Insect in 1975. This acknowledged the honeybee's contribution to the state's economy through honey production and aiding pollination of more than 50 Georgia crops. The honeybee is recognized as an official state symbol in seventeen states, primarily because honeybees play such an important role in agriculture.

NEW ORLEANS — The practices of the oil giant BP came under sharp attack on Wednesday in a courtroom here by an expert witness who said its negligence caused the 2010 explosion aboard a Gulf of Mexico drilling rig that killed 11 workers and spewed millions of barrels of oil.
A full day of testimony in the third day of a trial against BP was dominated by the witness, Alan R. Huffman, a petroleum geophysicist who was testifying for the government and private plaintiffs. Mr. Huffman accused BP of submitting misleading and selective data to federal regulators while drilling the Macondo well and of playing "fast and loose" with a safety test intended to measure the offshore well's stability.
Mr. Huffman, who has worked for several major oil companies, also said BP had been irresponsible to continue drilling below 18,000 feet when the company should have known that the well was unstable. "This was beyond imprudent," he said. "It was unsafe and dangerous."
BP's share of responsibility is a principal focus of the trial, and is also central to a settlement proposal offered by the Justice Department and five gulf states that are demanding that BP pay $16 billion in spill-related penalties and fines. If there is no settlement, the multiphase trial will determine not only responsibility for the accident but also how many millions of barrels of oil was actually spilled.
BP's high priority for saving money continued to be a theme of the trial.
Kevin Lacy, a former BP senior vice president for drilling operations in the gulf who resigned a few months before the spill, told the court in a videotaped deposition that he was told by top management to cut costs throughout 2008 and 2009.
"I was never given a directive to cut corners or to deliver something not safely," Mr. Lacy said, "but there was tremendous pressure on costs."
