Delivering for customers
The submission states that Consultus is "recognised as an independent world-class consulting and services business: a partner that consistency exceeds client expectations and outperforms the market in energy and utility procurement, energy management, demand reduction, risk and compliance."
It continues, "The risk and buying strategies we provide mean that over the last decade and on behalf of our clients, Consultus has outperformed the energy market by 20-35%. Our 'budget certain' Capital at Risk strategy has delivered wholesale savings of 20% compared to the traditional fixed market for wholesale costs. Our market-leading fix/unfix model has provided savings in excess of 30% for the same period. Last year, our Bureau team processed more than 150,000 bills, and we recovered more than £1 million for clients."
'Openness and transparency'
The submission also highlighted the fact that Consultus clients appreciate the fact that it operates consistently fair and open practices with all energy suppliers. In addition, in reviews of TPIs, energy suppliers regularly agree that the fees charged by Consultus are among the lowest they see, charges are transparent and the company's hedging performance is market leading. According to Cornwall Insights (2018), we are the industry's only UK consultancy that is 100% transparent.

Douglas Nance Classic 57"-77" Extension Dining Table
This oval extension table features a butterfly leaf extension that simply and easily folds underneath the table when not being used. The table can be extended by simply pulling out the ends with little effort.
The Douglas Nance philosophy about teak furniture is different than most. While all around we see designs and styles that minimize the use of teak wood by substituting with aluminum or adding sling fabric material, we have gone the other direction. Slim and sleek won't be found in descriptions of our furniture. Instead you'll read masterful, bold and rock solid. Everything in the design of our styles has been about making a statement with teak.

This was an excellent, yet sad, conclusion of the Tucker and Canfield families. It was interesting and a good portrayal of life during the Great Depression. The Thoenes do not attempt to sugar-coat anything; instead they create believable characters and plots.
There was a certain scene that was unnecessary and should have been omitted; however, besides that, the book is clean and Christ-centered. It was refreshing to see how the Tucker and Canfield families relied on the Lord for help and the unique ways He answered. I felt the ending was rather dissapointing and unsatisfying. I do hope the authors plan to continue these families' stories.
This was an entertaining, heart-wrenching, and Christ-centered read. I highly recommend it. This book can be bought at Amazon.com, Christianbook.com,, etc.

Dear visitor,
On this page I would like to briefly introduce BridgeView Gardens and myself.
Horticulture was and is my life. After my retirement I still work as a part-time breeder of roses, shrubs, nursery trees and perennial plants for Boot & Co. Nurseries in Boskoop, the Netherlands. Over the last 10 years, I have developed an extensive assortment of exclusive daylily seedlings. This website shows a small number of them.
I am currently working on a series of continuously flowering, Stella d'Oro-like plants in all colors (but tetraploid). This series is based on a proprietary plant with superior properties. To achieve my goals within a few years, I have started an intensive and extensive crossbreeding program.
The site is intended to present myself as a daylily breeder to the professional market. Please visit our gallery to see the possibilities available for your own series, or package, in various colors.
Comments are appreciated via our contact section. I'll try to answer all of them daily.

They hoped that, as a result of this, guns and airplanes by the scores would be diverted from the decisive theatre of war on the Western front and tied down to the fruitless guard of the capitals. The strategy was not unlike that of Lee in the American Civil War in his many threats against Washington. It met with a full measure of success. A very small force of German airplanes immobilized many times their number of allied aircraft, and reduced by that amount the allied air power in the decisive areas of action.
The fight, once begun, was carried through to a finish. With the advent of the huge armies of modern times, the period necessary for a decision has been lengthened; our common language, in such phrases as "winning the day," illustrates a feature of ancient warfare only. But even though battles of today may last over many days, they are normally continued to a decision. In this connection, it must be 14 AIR WARFARE [Ch. 1 recalled, the World War, apparently an exception, was a reality in four years' siege of France, interspersed with sorties which were knows as battles.
But as a factor in tactical methods in the World War, shock action was negligible. With the advent of the present parachute, however, which has proved to be practicable and remarkably successful, shock action presents a slightly different aspect. A head-on collision, with its enormous speed of impact, is as certainly fatal in its consequences today as formerly. But it is possible to bring another airplane to earth by ramming from the rear, when the difference of speeds is not great, and allow all personnel to escape uninjured, thanks to the seat parachute.

Please see below to view details for this session presenter
Kevin Gardner, PhD
Dr. Gardner is the Virginia Lazenby O'Hara Chair in Biochemistry and W.W. Caruth Jr. Scholar in Biomedical Research at the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Dr. Gardner joined the UT Southwestern faculty in 1998 after Ph.D. (Yale, 1995) and postdoctoral (Univ. Toronto with Lewis Kay, 1998) studies in structural biology, specializing in solution nuclear magnetic resonance applications to protein structure. Working together with collaborating biochemistry and chemistry groups, his laboratory seeks to probe the signaling mechanisms of proteins used by cells to sense and respond to the environment around them. This research aims to decipher how proteins use common sensory mechanisms despite tremendous diversity in their functions and biological settings – for example, revealing how a cancer-related transcription factor in human cells senses natural metabolites similarly to a photosensory protein looking for blue light within marine bacteria. Such studies lay the foundation for both understanding the natural regulation of these systems and artificially controlling them.

This page aims to help you remove Erdnt.loc Virus. Our removal instructions work for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, as well as every version of Windows.
It sure is annoying to open your Chrome, IE or Firefox browser and be greeted with an impenetrable wall of annoying banners, box messages, adverts, pop-ups and page-redirects to sites you don't want to go to. This is, however, what usually happens to users when they have a browser hijacker application such as Erdnt.loc on their computer. If you have had one such app installed on your PC, you are likely to experience different forms of browsing disturbance such as the ones we already mentioned. Aside from that, changes might get enforced upon your browsing program (regardless of what browser you normally use) that have not been approved by you. The default search engine tool of your browser might get replaced with another one, different modifications might get imposed on the toolbar and also the starting page and the new-tab page might get changed as well. In addition to all that, due to the constant stream of advertising materials, your browser might start to function slower than usual and even your PC might start to get slowed-down. In some more severe cases, your browser or even the whole Windows Explorer might get unresponsive due to the high use of system resources that is needed for the generation of the advertisements. Due to all that, if you have a hijacker on your computer like the recently released and particularly annoying Erdnt.loc, you'd most certainly want to get rid of the annoyance as quickly as possible. But how can this be done? A typical hijacker will not have an uninstallation wizard and in many cases even if you manage to remove it from the browser using the Extensions manager, it is likely going to come back as soon as you restart the browsing program. Well, if you are faced with a similar struggle, know the guide below can help you overcome this problem and safely and quickly remove the hijacker without it coming back later. Just be sure to closely follow the steps and instructions below and you should have no trouble dealing with the undesirable software element. Still, for those of you who aren't confident that they could complete the guide on their own, we have an alternative solution – a removal program for dealing with most types of unwanted software which has been added to the guide so that you could use it.
Erdnt.loc Virus Removal

HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—-Windows—CurrentVersion—Run– Random
HKEY_CURRENT_USER—-Software—Microsoft—Internet Explorer—-Main—- Random
Additional info about the hijacker software category
Regardless of whether you decide to use the manual removal steps or the professional removal tool from the guide (or both), you must make sure that the unwanted Erdnt.loc (or any other hijacker that might be in your system) gets removed. The problem with apps like this is not only that they are really annoying but also that they might actually sometimes be seen as security hazards. Here, it must be pointed out that Ransomware, Trojans, Spyware and other similar malware threats are certainly way more dangerous than a mere hijacker. Hijackers are mostly not seen as real virus programs because they are primarily used for online advertising and not for any kind of actual criminal activities. However, there are many different ads that normally get generated by software apps such as Erdnt.loc and not all of them can be verified as reliable and safe for interaction. In many cases, a certain advert might not really be what it seems and might mislead you to go to sites and download software that might be potentially hazardous for your PC. After all, fake and misleading ads are oftentimes used by cyber criminals and hackers to get their malicious programs distributed to more computer. So, if you don't want to risk exposing your machine to threats like Trojan Horses, Rootkit, Ransomware and so on we advise you to simply take away the hijacker and thus make the ads-generation in your browser stop.
Ways you can land a hijacker application
Erdnt.loc and other similar apps might sometimes have official sites but in most cases they rely on other, sneakier ways of distribution. Such distribution techniques could be spam messaging, malvertising, and file-bundling (as well as others). Normally, most users know to avoid spam messages and to stay away from sites that might generate misleading offers and ads that might land them a hijacker. However, when it comes to file bundles, the majority of users forget to check the installer of any new program for possible bundled content and this is how a lot of people get apps like Erdnt.loc installed on their PC. Now, that you know that, you must remember to always take a look at the details in the setup menu and see if there are any extra components that look sketchy. If you come across anything that doesn't seem trustworthy, uncheck it to prevent it from getting installed alongside the main program from the installer.
|Browser Hijacker
|Danger Level
|Medium (nowhere near threats like Ransomware, but still a security risk)
|The nagging ads and the random page redirects as well as the unwanted changes to your browser are most likely to give away the hijacker's presence.
|Distribution Method
|Usual methods of hijacker distribution are spam messages, file bundles and malvertising.
|Detection Tool

Coming off a stellar breakthrough year with two major comedic roles, actress Awkwafina steps into a very different project with the family drama, "The Farewell."
"The Farewell," tells the story of Billi, an American woman who immigrated to the United States with her parents at age 6. Still close with her grandmother half a world away, Billi is devastated to learn her Nai Nai has terminal lung cancer. She is even more distraught when she learns her family has no intention of telling their matriarch she has only months to live.
In an effort to bring family and friends back together, while also keeping this secret, Billi's cousin Hao Hao reluctantly agrees to marry his new girlfriend. The wedding keeps Nai Nai occupied, while also providing a perfect cover for the ruse. Everyone is on board with this plan except Billi, who thinks Nai Nai deserves to know the truth about her diagnosis.
Director Lulu Wang crafted this story from her own family experience. She uses her vibrant and refreshing voice to speak about culture, identity, and the dynamics of families that live thousands of miles apart. Billi's very American upbringing makes her question some of her family's very Chinese traditions. Those questions lead to poignant discussions between the relatives about eastern and western philosophies. Wang's script never draws a conclusion over which is better. Her point is simply that they are different and that families can find ways to navigate such differences.
Billi is plagued by other issues and questions in her life, too. At 30, she lives alone and has a job. But she still visits her parents' house to do laundry. She has just been turned down for a fellowship and is generally lost in her life. She suffers the crisis that so many of her generation face. Unlike the generations before her, Billi has many opportunities. She can take her life in any direction. And this abundance of choices makes it all the more difficult to move forward. This is another area where Wang deftly examines the paradoxes of the generations.
Awkwafina made her mark last year with supporting roles in "Ocean's 8" and "Crazy Rich Asians." Now, in her first leading part, she proves that she is more than great one-liners and silly gags. Awkwafina is a talented dramatic actress, too. She beautifully portrays Billi, this woman who is still caught a little in the in-between. She is funny, because families are funny. But she is full of heart and emotions that brim until they spill over. She is a star on the rise, and her work in "The Farewell" is sure to open many more doors.
In addition to Awkwafina, Tzi Ma and Diana Lin are exceptional as Billi's parents. Tzi Ma is Haiyan, whose mother is the dying Nai Nai. He wrestles with the guilt of taking his wife and daughter so far away, while also knowing it was the right move for them. And Diana Lin as Billi's mother possesses the qualities one might expect from a Chinese mother, with expectations and traditions. But what makes her all the stronger is her overwhelming heart and compassion. It is a lovely performance that deserves recognition.
"The Farewell" is not a film about loss or grief. It is about family and identity and love. It is about the people we are and how we become. The generations that lived before and how we can honor them as we move forward. This is a beautiful film that will surely find a passionate audience when it makes its way to theaters.

It would become a graduate-level textbook used in numerous German universities.In 1926, he relocated to the United States, accepting a visiting professorship at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, becoming a physics professor after one year. Herzfeld did substantial research with associate professor Francis O. Rice.Their 1928 collaborative paper, Dispersion and absorption of high-frequency sound waves, examined the purpose of molecular vibrations in transferring energy between ultrasonic waves and gas molecules.During the early 1930s, he developed a relationship with chemist H.M. Smallwood, resulting in two contributions for Hugh S. Taylor's 'A Treatise on Physical Chemistry: The kinetic theory of gases and liquids' and 'Imperfect gases and the liquid state' in 1931.Herzfeld collaborated with fellow colleagues Maria Goeppert-Mayer and James Franck during 1934-41. His work with Mayer would result in the publication of two articles: on the states of aggregation in the 'Journal of Chemical Physics' and on the theory of fusion in 'Physical Review'.His collaboration alongside Franck produced two more: 'An attempted theory of photosynthesis' in the 'Journal of Chemical Physics' and 'Contributions to a theory of photosynthesis' for the 'Journal of Physical Chemistry'.In 1936, he took a job at 'The Catholic University of America' as a professor of physics and chairman of the Physics department. After becoming naturalized citizen, he worked for the military during World War II as a consultant.Continue Reading BelowDuring the latter part of the 1940s, Herzfeld shifted his focus toward quantum-mechanical calculations on the electronic structure of polyatomic molecules.In 1959, Herzfeld collaborated with physics professor, Theodore A. Litovitz on the book, 'Absorption and Dispersion of Ultrasonic Waves', which abridged Herzfeld's theories on ultrasonics.In 1961, he regained his position as Chairman of Physics at the 'Catholic University of America'.In 1964, he was awarded the US Navy's 'Meritorious Service Citation' for his services during World War II as a consultant on mine warfare.In 1966, what would be one of Herzfeld's last scientific articles was published in 'The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America', summarizing fifty years of progression in physical ultrasonics.He was conferred the title of professor emeritus at the 'Catholic University' in 1969, and continued to serve in this capacity until his death.Major Works
- He served as head of the 'Committee on Mine Advisory', focusing on the scientific concerns of mine warfare during WWII on the side of the U.S. Throughout his tenure with the military he researched on structure of matter and application of statistical mechanics.Awards & Achievements
- This eminent physicist received the Mendel Medal in 1931 from 'Villanova University' and seven years later he was presented with the 'Sechi Medal' by 'Georgetown University'.Personal Life & Legacy

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. In nearly 30% of all cases, a member of the breast cancer patient's extended family also has breast cancer. This may be coincidental or due to hereditary susceptibility. According to estimates, a single gene mutation that runs in the family underlies approximately 5–10% of all breast cancer cases. The most common form of such mutations are BRCA gene defects.
Indications of hereditary breast cancer include:
- Breast cancer in a very young person
- Multiple cancers in one person
- Breast cancer in both breasts
- Incidences of breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer in close kin
How can breast cancer heredity be examined?
How can the heredity of cancer be examined if you have a nagging doubt and have observed some of the indications mentioned above? At Docrates Cancer Center, we provide two alternative paths. A sensible approach is to discuss the cancer cases in your family with a specialist in medical genetics. If the situation seems to indicate the chance of hereditary breast cancer, a genetic test to investigate heredity will be recommended. The test is best suited for people who have actually already suffered from cancer. If a genetic defect is discovered, efforts will be made to identify all the carriers of the defective gene in the family. Even if a family shows hereditary susceptibility to cancer, it does not mean that all family members have inherited it.
Docrates Cancer Center can conduct an investigation of the heredity of breast cancer. People who are worried about their potential hereditary risk of contracting cancer can consult Docrates Specialist in Clinical Genetics Helena Kääriäinen.

Use of the flex grid (flexible grid), a flexible element inside a container with a height proportional to the width
(Post 3 of the guide)
In the first example we can see an element whose length is expressed through the property flex-basis (on a percentage basis) while in the second example, the width is defined in a proportional way from the class bcd-f-flex-m-1 and bcd-f- flex-d-1. In both cases the class bcd-f-prop-h-100-w-100 tells us that the element must have a height equivalent to width
Here in the example the width esablished by the class bcd-f-flex-m-1 and bcd-f-flex-d-1:
In the following example is established the class bcd-f-prop-h-50-w-100 that defines the height to be half of the width. This relationship is respected also on the browser resizing.
This group of classes allow us to define the relationship between the height and the widthof a flexible object.

Binge Eating Disorder Symptoms And Characteristics To Be Concerned About
Updated January 31, 2020
Reviewer Lauren Fawley
Source: rawpixel.com
You may have heard about Eating Disorders including Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa, but many people have not heard about Binge Eating Disorder. This is a newer psychological diagnosis that has some similarities with Bulimia, but also some distinct differences. Learn more about the symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder, the characteristics associated with it, its health risks, and when to seek help:
Diagnostic Criteria For Binge Eating Disorder
If you had not heard of Binge Eating Disorder, you are not alone. Many people are not familiar with this condition. That is because this diagnosis was first made official just in May 2013 with the publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Fifth Edition (DSM-5). This is the guidebook that psychologists, counselors, and doctors use to determine whether someone has a mental health condition.
With that guide, psychologists use the following criteria for the symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder:
- Recurrent and persistent episodes of binge eating
- Eating much more rapidly than normal
- Eating until feeling uncomfortably full
- Eating large amounts of food when not feeling physically hungry
- Eating alone because of being embarrassed by how much one is eating
- Feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or very guilty after overeating
- Marked distress regarding binge eating
- Absence of regular compensatory behaviors

Before 2013, people with these symptoms would have been given the diagnosis of Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS). However, research showed that Binge Eating Disorder was a significant condition that warranted its specific diagnostic label. This is good because it helps people with Binge Eating Disorder to get more recognition for their needs and better help.
Although, psychologists and doctors assign the official diagnosis of Binge Eating Disorder based on this specific list of criteria, having just some or even one of these symptoms can still be concerning. Many people experience some symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder, without meeting the full criteria for the diagnosis. If you read through this list and some of the symptoms match you or a loved one, it is important to seek help before the symptoms worsen to the level of a more severe Eating Disorder.
Typical Signs And Symptoms Of Binge Eating Disorder
The primary feature of Binge Eating Disorder is the behavior of eating a great deal of food, in a short amount of time, even when not feeling physically hungry. Often, when people with Binge Eating Disorder are engaged in a binge, they may feel completely out of control with their behavior. They may even feel compelled to keep eating even after becoming uncomfortably full.
Binge Eating Disorder is broadly classified as an Eating Disorder, alongside Anorexia and Bulimia. All three include some disordered eating behaviors and often a discomfort with one's body. However, the three of them also have different symptoms. Binges characterize binge Eating Disorder, and this contrasts it from Anorexia Nervosa, where people instead restrict their eating. Many people confuse Binge Eating Disorder with Bulimia Nervosa. However, people with Bulimia Nervosa engage in compensatory behaviors, such as purging to eliminate food and those with Binge Eating Disorder do not.
Causes Of Binge Eating Disorder
Overall, Binge Eating Disorder can be caused by a combination of biological, psychological, and Sociocultural Factors. Some with this disorder have an imbalance in their brain chemistry, which may require medications to correct. Others have a broader mental health condition that is influencing their eating behaviors. Still, others have experienced some social and or cultural event(s) that prompt the binge eating. Often, it is a combination of all these components that work together as the cause.
Many people with Binge Eating Disorder initially adopt these behaviors because they find food comforting in some way. While engaged in a binge, they may initially feel a sense of calm and stress reduction. Sometimes, people will even plan for a binge, knowing that they want the pleasant feelings it brings. However, the binge and whatever rewards they get from it are only seemingly helpful in the short-term. In the long-run, people tend to regret their binge behaviors.

Characteristics Associated With Binge Eating Disorder
Most people who engage in Binge Eating Disorder are in their late teens or early 20s. It has been reported in younger children and older adults, but less frequently. People tend to associate the Eating Disorders with women. However, men can struggle with these problems too. In fact, almost 40% of people diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder are male.
Both women and men of any age can be affected by binge eating disorder. Approximately 3.5% of women in the US have this disorder, while 2% of men do. During adolescence, Binge Eating Disorder tends to affect more women than men. More men struggle with these behaviors starting in midlife. No matter what age you are when these symptoms start, it is important to get connected to help.
People with binge eating symptoms can also be affected by symptoms of Anxiety and Depression. The likelihood of this increases and the mental health symptoms tend to be even more severe if the individual also has problems with their weight and even obesity. Many people with anxiety develop disordered eating behaviors as a way to cope. The opposite can also be true, in that someone with Binge Eating Disorder may then develop anxiety, in part because of having the disorder.
Health And Medical Risks Of Binge Eating Disorder
Some people with Binge Eating Disorder manage to maintain a fairly average appearance. This is especially true if their binges are occasional rather than more frequent. However, many people with Binge Eating Disorder do gain weight, especially if they have daily binges. In fact, as many as two-thirds of people with this condition will become obese. However, the opposite is not necessarily true. Just because someone is obese, it does not mean that they have Binge Eating Disorder.
Obesity is a serious disorder with many health consequences such as high blood pressure. Living in a state of obesity can lead to premature death. Many that binge eat try to combat any weight gain with dieting. However, because of the drive to binge, the diet often does not last or is at least not very helpful. Any weight fluctuations from binging and dieting can also be hard on the body and unhealthy.
Warning Signs Of Binge Eating Disorder
If you are concerned about someone else in your life that you suspect may have Binge Eating Disorder, you may notice some warning signs. People with Binge Eating Disorder may try to hide some of their behaviors, so it can be hard to tell for sure what they may be struggling with. If they are hiding their eating, that alone is a big sign. Evidence someone is hiding their eating may occur in the form of empty food containers and trash turning up in unusual places such as their bedroom and car. They may act secretive and even evasive towards answering questions about their eating habits.
If someone is engaging in unusual eating behaviors, it does not necessarily mean that they have Binge Eating Disorder. However, when you are concerned about someone in your life, it is better to talk to them and discuss the behaviors you have noticed. Usually, it is helpful to approach the person at a time when the two of you can have a calm, quiet conversation away from other people. Sometimes just describing what you have noticed and letting them know you are available to talk, can help them feel more comfortable and they may open up to you. Then, you can figure out the next steps together.

Key Take-Aways And Recommendations
Many people overeat from time to time, but if you often overeat, sometimes overeat extreme amounts of food, and sometimes feel out of control with your eating, then these are signs you should be concerned about. You can seek help for Binge Eating Disorder from a mental health provider.
Binge Eating Disorder can be a complex disorder to address. Often people with the disorder do also have other mental health problems that need to be treated simultaneously. In addition to symptoms of Anxiety or Depression, people with Binge Eating Disorder may also have problems with self-esteem and confidence. They could have experienced other traumas or abuses in their life that prompted their unhealthy relationship with food. For these reasons, it is good to get professional help.
Seek out therapy services. A therapist can help uncover the reasons for your behavior and help you learn new ways of coping with any problems you may have. They can also help you learn new ways of interacting with food. People with Binge Eating Disorder often benefit also from working with a dietician or nutritionist to develop healthier eating patterns and a therapist may connect you to that resource. Overall, they will work with you to set goals and then help you to work towards the goals.

Cube8 Group PLC
21 November 2001
Cube 8 Group plc
Sale of 61% of Freeloader.com
The Board of Cube 8 Group plc announce that they have completed the disposal
of 61% of Freeloader.com, one of the world's leading games websites, to the
management team for a nominal consideration of £61.00 payable in cash. This
follows Cube8's announcement that it wishes to reduce all stakes in its
portfolio to minority holdings.
The asset value of Freeloader.com in the Company's balance sheet as at 30 June
2001 was £719,000 and produced losses in the period to 30 June of £113,845.
The Directors of Cube 8, with the exception of Tarick Kreimeia and David
Dobson who are involved in the transaction, consider, having consulted with
the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the transaction are fair
and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.
Tarick Kreimeia, David Dobson and SIP have purchased, between them, 61% of the
business for a nominal sum of £61. Mr Kreimeia, Managing Director of
Freeloader.com, now holds 51% of the business. As part of the deal, £350,000
of Cube8 cash invested in the company as a loan has been converted to
redeemable preference shares.
The MBO was prompted by the sudden downturn in online advertising expenditure
immediately after the September 11th attacks. When it became apparent that
Cube8 would need to continue funding losses for longer than previously
expected, all Freeloader staff were given notice whilst a solution was sought.
'From Freeloader's point of view this is good news,' said Cube8 Chief
Operating Officer Steve Masters. 'The company now controls its own destiny and
will therefore not be affected by any actions taken by the Cube8 board
regarding its portfolio. We have already announced that we wish to reduce our
stakes to minority holdings to stem all further liabilities.'
Mr Masters added that the Cube8 board also had more confidence in the business
succeeding as a private concern with a minority Cube8 ownership. He said,
'Tarick is now able to try to take the business forward in a focussed and
independent manner, on a low cost base, which we hope will give the business a
better chance of success. We have every confidence that our preference shares
and our 39% share of ordinary shares in the business will give us, in the long
term, a premium on the price we paid for the business.'
Cube8 purchased Freeloader.com from Pure Entertainment Games plc for £600,000
in Cube8 shares.
Mr Kreimeia, a Cube8 non-executive director who was appointed Freeloader
Managing Director by the Cube8 board, said 'At this stage, we are operating on
a reduced team of three, including myself, with unpaid advisors in the shape
of my fellow shareholders. We have been forced to switch to a minimised
version of our site to keep hosting and maintenance costs down while we
rebuild the business to include a subscription and pay-to-play model. I am
hoping that the rebuild should take three to four months, at which point we
will re-launch the site'.

Cube8 suspended its shares on AIM while it completed talks that may lead to a
reverse takeover. These talks are continuing and the company hopes to make a
further announcement in due course.
