Living on campus is an exciting part of the college experience and gives students the opportunity to build life-long friendships and also supports academic success. It has been proven that students who live on campus have a higher GPA – and persistence towards graduation – faster than their peers who live off campus. Because of this, Bowling Green State University's Board of Trustees has set a Residency Requirement that states a student must live on campus their first two years.
Students often ask "which hall is the best hall?" and to be honest, we can't answer that. Each hall is unique in it's own way just like the students who live in them. We encourage students to look over all of the options to figure out what feels most confortable to them. Please reach out to our office if you have any questions or schedule a campus tour through the Office of Admission.

An unearthing of ancient prophecies, a one hour show – part hardcore musical, part historical internet pantomime, part performance art made by four Indonesian and four Australian Artists: Ican Harem, Tamara Pertamina, Andreas Siagian and Lintang Radittya, Debris Facility, Lara Thoms, Tarquin Manek and Timothy D.
The collective of artists come from diverse backgrounds and art practices, such as live video, synth building, hacker collectives, experimental music, traditional craft, fashion, bio-hacking, sculpture and performance.
Ancient MSG brings to light the mystical and historical revelations of the Javanese prophet, Jayabaya, King of Kediri Java. This king from the twelfth century predicted many truths about the twenty-first century. Drawing on traditional Javanese systems of belief, this contemporary interpretation of Jayabaya prophesies was presented within the framework of a subversive new pantomime.
Curated and produced by Kristi Monfries, Ancient MSG was part of Gertrude Contemporary's ongoing cultural exchange program titled The Independence Project, which, in 2015, has taken place in collaboration with independent Jogjakarta-based curators, Kristi Monfries and Grace Samboh.

text: DigitalDid Zac Posen Steal the Spotlight at the Met Gala Last Night?Zac Posen was definitely in his element.By Tonya Garcia|May 6, 2014ShareBy Tonya Garcia|May 6, 2014ShareThe Met Gala was in full effect last night, which means everyone today is talking about who wore what. Given that this year the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute is featuring the exhibit "Charles James: Beyond Fashion," ball gowns would be a most appropriate tie-in. James' own designs included lots of volume, lots of strapless, lots of what you would think if you were to immediately conjure the image of a princess.So it should be no surprise that Zac Posen was a popular choice. Sarah Silverman, model Arizona Muse and Dita von Teese were among the seven celebs on the red carpet wearing his designs."Posen's gowns tend to be elaborately constructed, often sporting bodices with folds and creases that resemble sartorial origami," writes The Washington Post. In a world where modern red carpet fashion tends to vacillate between sleek and slouchy, Posen's heavily tailored and structured pieces are fussy in a way that can seem anachronistic. "But when the moment calls for it — and let's face it, if you're going to the Met Gala, you're having a moment — this is when you want to pull out the big guns. (Or big ruffles, if you will.)For the designer and Project Runway host, this could be just the moment that his label needs.When Posen first came on the scene at the age of 20, celebrities wore his designs all the time, in part because they were beautiful and in part because he was the young fashion phenom of the moment. His name was on everyone's lips, including Sean "Diddy" Combs who invested in his business.But much like fashion itself, attitudes changed. Some thought all of Posen's cockiness grew unbecoming, and business issues behind the scenes put him in "survival mode," he's said. After a bit of a beating through a few rough years, he took the judging spot on Project Runway replacing Michael Kors in 2012.Now he's in his early 30s, back on the backs of big names like Oprah and Michelle Obama and, as of about one year ago according to The New York Times, he was on the path to business profitability.But a lot of fashion is reputation. Who's wearing what at the biggest events is important for a fashion label and having your name trip off the tongues of A-listers going to one of the top three fashion events of the entire year can build a brand in a way that a seat next to Heidi Klum on Lifetime won't. The event last night may have given him a shine and notability that he can ride to even greater heights. Perez Hilton says he won the night. We'd have to make it a three-way tie between Sarah Jessica Parker in this fun and winning look and Karolina Kurkova in this Marchesa gown that is nothing short of a dream.

by Matt
I was with this girl for almost 4 years.
I met her when I was 18 and she was 16.
I fell in love with her. After about a year of spending time together we became really close. I could tell what she was thinking at any moment and in a similar she knew everything about me.
She was my first love, the first serious girlfriend I ever had.
She was an intelligent girl, everyone just wanted to be with her. I was so happy that she had chosen me.
Had me all feeling like I won something great in my life.
She took like 90% of my brain; I was thinking about her almost every time.
I really loved her. She told me she loved me too.
After 3 years we decided to travel and study together in a bigger city.
She always was not into these "things"-- I mean kissing, romance, sex etc.
She told me that I am the only one, and that if she want to do it, she is going to do it with me.
Like every man/boy, I waited impatiently for this day.
She promised that if we move to our new flat, we will do it everywhere -- in the kitchen, on the table, in the morning, in the evening; anytime and any place.
I was so excited to hear this. Like every other boy my age, it was my dream come true.
After few months we moved she met her new friends (girls).
She was always going out with them to some parties.
I always let her go.
"If you want to go, you can go," I told her. "I trust you."
Over time, she changed drastically.
She never used to be a "party girl", until then.
She was now going out 3-4 times in a week.
I would wait up for her every night, just to hug her before sleeping and to tell her how much I love her and how I don't know what will happen to me if I ever lose her.
I saw the meaning of life in her.
When I was thinking or trying to decide on something, I always ask about her opinion.
I always included her in my plans.
Following her change of behaviour, I began feeling something is going on. Something bad.
My brother was dumped after 4 years of dating by her ex without any good explanation (just something like: 'I think we should break up').
Having this in mind, I proceeded to talk to her.
"Tell me please if something is wrong," I said to her. "I really don't want to lose you. You are my whole world and I can't imagine a life without you, so please, always tell me the truth."
She agreed.
After a few more months, our relationship started looking like an old marriage.
We rarely had sex, not even a cuddle.
I got the feeling she had stopped loving me.
But she kept on telling me how much I still mean to her and that she loves me.
Still I couldn't help feeling low.
I was nearly sinking into depression, doing nothing all day except sitting in front of the monitor and playing some video games.
I don't know if she ever realized how bad it was for me.
Only thing I knew is that she continued going out for parties all the time. Sometimes, she'll be gone for days, or even weeks.
After a few months, I finally decided to talk to her.
"If you lied to me one more time, I'm going back to my parents," I told her.
She begged me to stay, but I insisted.
She cried the whole night, but I wanted to punish her for what she had done to me.
We broke up, but I still couldn't stop thinking about her.
Every night, I lay awake, thinking how much I love her and how much she means for me.
I always say that the fault is on both sides, but for me it was more her fault.
After a week or two, I decided to go and see her.
We talked and we came back together, but she was now living in big city alone.
We see each other only on weekends.
But all the while I still got that feeling that there was something she isn't telling me.
For the entire 4 years we've been together, I have never talked to another girl, let alone hook up.
She was everything to me.
The last chapter of our life together came the day I went through her phone.
I'm an IT technician by trade so somehow I managed to get into her Facebook.
What I saw made my heart explode.
I couldn't stop crying and blaming myself for everything.
She was hanging out with about 6 or 7 guys at the same time we lived together.
The time I moved out, some guy was coming to her every night.
I saw all their conversations.
She was a virgin when she was with me -- we just kissed and had blowjobs.
In the Facebook conversation, I saw that she sends the guy naked photos of her.
She was telling the guy how he is the perfect one for her.
I also saw her conversation with her best friend.
There was a lot of bad things she said about me. She was tired of me and needed to hook up with other guys.
She discussed with her friend how she had lost her virginity to the guy she meet at the club.
You can't imagine how I felt reading all of that.
I tried to kill myself, but the blood in my veins clotted so I had to go to the hospital.
It's been about week now.
I still can't handle this. Friends are helping me a lot, but it's not enough.
I feel like shit.
I think I still want to die.
Can someone give me an advice on how to deal with this.
I will really appreciate that. Just hope I will still be alive to read all your messages.
Tuesday, May 16

A.P.S. Crotts (Columbia U.)
We determine the clustering of metal-line redshift systems using a catalog of published QSO absorption-line spectroscopy, and use this to explore and demonstrate methods by which errors in clustering results can be removed which might otherwise be introduced due to imperfect knowledge of the redshift selection function, which determines the sensitivity of the sample to absorbers as a function of redshift. In particular, we introduce a new expression for constructing the two-point correlation function \xi (or, alternatively, the power spectrum) which removes the effects of such errors in cases where their presence is small and dilute, and concentrate our efforts on cross-correlation between sightlines, which is much less prone to amplifying systematic error than single-sightline approaches. A careful analysis using these data, and comparing them to others, implies a a large value for the scale radius r0 (where \xi (r)=(r/r0)- \gamma, with \gamma assumed to be 1.8) on the order of 10 h-1 Mpc, with the most reliable value once possible systematics are removed being r0 = 13 ±9 h-1 Mpc. While this value is surprisingly large compared to that of galaxies, it is much smaller than those implied by other recent works also using sightline cross-correlation in heterogeneous catalogs. Having a measure of r0 allows us to estimate the extent to which the correlational power might be studied in a larger sample selected in a more homogeneous way. In particular, we evaluate the potential for studies of clustering from an ongoing effort to use QSO spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to study metal-line absorption.
Additionally, we are performing a similar study for damped Lyman alpha and Lyman limit systems, which should have less severe selection biases. Furthermore, we shall report on our own observational results from a survey of Lyman alpha and metal-line absorbers in a sample of 16 close QSO pairs.
This research was supported by the NSF and the STScI.

Track and Field goes all the way back to the original Olympic games, and today is had become a sport that's performed at the top of the 21st-century sports settings. On track & field, our national team, Team USA, has become the World's Number One Team, but track and field entails a lot more than merely the Olympic sports teams. USATF is also sanctioning countless track and field meetings and sports events s at every competition level, including youth and masters athletic competitions.
Track and field is including athletic contests on running, jumping & throwing, and the name comes from where the sport is typically performed: stadiums where a grass field is enclosed by an oval-shaped running track, and the grass field houses the jumping and throwing events. Track & field fall under sports umbrella of athletics, including cross country, road running, and race walking. Foot racing includes hurdling, sprints, race walking, middle- & long-distance running, and the athlete who realizes the fastest time is the winner. At the throwing and jumping events, the athlete who reaches the greatest height or distance is the winner.
Jumping includes high jump, long jump, triple jump, and pole vault, while throwing includes javelin, shot put, hammer, and discus. There are numerous 'multi or combined events', for example, the decathlon (including ten events), heptathlon (seven events), and pentathlon (five events). In these combined events, athletes are participating in multiple track & field events.
The majority of track & field events are performed by individual athletes and have a single victor, while the best-known team events include relay races, typically executed by a team of four athletes. Generally, these events are gender-specific, though both the women's and men's competitions are generally held simultaneously at the venues.

In Memoriam
Margaret Barrier: 1929-2012
Margaret Barrier served on the advisory board of our human origins research facilities CRAFT (Center for Research into the Anthropological Foundations of Technology, Indiana University) and of the Stone Age Institute (www.stoneageinstitute.org) for well over two decades. Margaret was Nicholas Toth's undergraduate advisor at Western College in Oxford, Ohio forty years ago, and remained an important advisor and supporter of Nicholas Toth and his wife and co-researcher Kathy Schick throughout their careers. "There is nobody in the world that had a more important influence on me" said Toth. "She guided me throughout my professional and personal life, and made me realize the power of one woman to make a difference in the world".
Margaret received her B.A. from Mary Baldwin College in Virginia and an M.A. from the University of North Carolina. She also did advanced study at the University of California, Berkeley (including a course in human evolution from Clark Howell). She taught sociology and anthropology at Salem College, North Carolina, and at Western College and Miami University in Ohio. While at Western College she was advanced to full professor and departmental chair. She also served as a senior academic advisor in the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Miami University. She was involved in a number of community activities, including serving on the board of the Butler County Mental Health Board, Board of Family Service, Planned Parenthood, and the Oxford branch of the NAACP.
Our condolences go out to her family and friends. We will miss her words of encouragement, her courage and resilience in the face of her many health adversities, and her warm, positive attitude towards life.
Nicholas Toth and Kathy Schick,
Co-Directors, Stone Age Institute

Fixing iTunes Cannot Sync To iPhone Because Photos Library Is Unavailable 2
I love the way iTunes, Photos and my iPhone sync together. It works and is a great way of ensuring all devices are up to date with the latest information. There does seem to be a reoccurring problem with iTunes and Photos library and the inability to sync photos correctly. Once in a while (which seems to be getting more common) iTunes will fail to sync photos. The underlying problem seems to be due to a permissions error which is easy to fix.
To solve this problem, you first need to navigate to the source of your Photos library. Open finder and locate it, typically within your User area under Pictures.
Right click on 'Photos Library' and select Get Info. At the bottom you will see a lock. Click it and enter your admin password. From the drop down lists at the bottom ensure 'everyone' has the option to read and write to the file.
This will allow the system and other process to write to your Photos library. It seems during the sync process if iTunes needs to write to the library it can't, thus the process fails.
Restart both Photos and iTunes and sync you phone again. It should now work.
I don't know why this fails, but this fix does seem to work.

This book is based on the hypnosis sessions data.
Actual data. Quite mysteriously, the archive of a self-taught hypnotist from the seventies of the previous century passed into the hands of my friend, a certi-fied therapist who applies the progressive hypnosis techniques.
And even more surprising was that the twenty-five years old records were kept for more than eight years, whereas it was relatively recently that the past life regressions were conducted in our country.
The archive was delivered by the girl who found it in the apartment she'd inherited.
It was appended with a detailed note concluded with the words, «The one, who will come across this archive, should continue the regression from the point where I stopped…»
Over a period of four years, more than seventy immersions into the past lives and the lives between lives were conducted.
The results were dazzling. With the permission of the so called «inheritance client», all the session records, including the archive, were transferred to me.
I have to say the things that happen in the people's earthly lives are bigger than mysticism and cooler than esoterics. Every step we take is written in the Great Book, every decision is a choice to make, and every event is a case model. When the opportunity arises to de tank and get the 50,000 foot view of the life, one can't help but agree with E. Cayce, who said,
"Humans are cosmic beings. A lifetime is a brief interlude of learning in an eternal pilgrimage through time and space… "
I wrote this book with the natural artistic imagination, having introduced the characters who belong in the earthly reality. As for the implication of events described in the archive, — well – its value will be shown.

As part of your enema hosing system, you can easily move water out of the areas of the colon that are over stimulated and cramping. Thus, you'll be able to take in more water and keep the level steady. You would need to seal off the tip with your finger to create suction by squeezing the pump. This is an essential tool for reduction of leaking and cramping.

If samples are being analysed by W/w then the accuracy of the syringe is less important. However, if analysing by V/SG method, whereby a measured volume of sample is injected into the titration vessel, then the syringe and syringe technique of the operator, are of great importance. A good quality gas tight syringe with luer lock needle is recommended.

A cooker is one of the most important kitchen appliances you'll invest in. Choosing the right one is a tricky decision but we are here to help. Our large range includes models to suit every budget and cooking style including range cookers, gas cookers and electric cookers.
There are several really important factors to consider when choosing a cooker for your kitchen. The shape, size and set-up of your kitchen is key, but you'll also need to think about the number of people you'll be cooking for, and weigh up the benefits of going for a gas oven, electric oven or dual fuel oven.
Finally, if you decide on a gas cooker, look for a cooker with a flame failure device (FFD) A cooker with a FFD will automatically cut off the gas supply if the flame goes out. This is now a legal requirement that came into force on the 1st January 2008 and is applicable If you live in a multi occupancy property, e.g. flat, maisonette or student accommodation. Any new gas hob you install after this date must now have an FFD. This term is sometimes referred to as a Flame Supervision Device (FSD)
If you opt for an electric cooker, check your cooker's energy efficiency rating. An Energy efficiency rating tells you how energy efficient your appliance is. It ranges from 'A+' to 'G', 'A+' appliances is the highest level and awarded to the most efficient appliances.
Choosing a more energy efficient cooker is a great way to do your bit for the planet by shrinking your impact on the environment and save money on your fuel bills too. See our Eco guide for more tips on being energy efficient.
There is no need to worry about collecting your brand new appliance, we will deliver at a time that suits you. We have a range of delivery services to choose from depending on the type of products you order and also your address. Please see our home delivery page for more information

New Batman 'Gotham' TV Series Releases First Trailer (VIDEO)
This is how you get us comic geeks excited for the fall TV season with the addition of Gotham to the FOX TV schedule -- comic book geeks like me are circling in anticipation!
The trailer features a young Commissioner Jim Gordon right after the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne (yes ... Batman's parents) and tracks his trials and tribulations. The trailer looks gritty and looks like we are going to the origins of the Batman myths even before he dons the costume ... super cool!
The trailer is awesome as we get glimpses of Bruce Wayne and all of his future adversaries. I'm crossing my fingers that this will be a big smash-hit for Fox TV.

Oedipus Tex
Paul Dale welcomes Josh Brolin's first lead role and Oliver Stone's Presidential biopic W. with glee
Affirmation of Oliver Stone's cinematic dementia may well have to be put on hold with the release of his snap freeze George W Bush biopic. The last decade has not been kind to Stone, with the twin debacles of Alexander and World Trade Center, but a peek at the trailer for W. suggests that it could be a return to form for this broad stroke polemicist. Taking in Bush Jr's days of what his father (played by the pig farmer from Babe James Cromwell) calls 'partying, chasing tail and drink driving' as he tried out a variety of shoe-in managerial posts, in addition to his more well known antics, it is certainly difficult to resist a film that features Richard Dreyfuss as Dick Cheney, Thandie Newton as Condoleezza Rice and erstwhile Truman Capote impersonator Toby Jones as Karl Rove. Yet it is in the casting of the 43rd Whitehouse incumbent that Stone really may have hit pay dirt.
Josh Brolin, the son of long serving Hollywood based TV and film character actor James (these days better known as Mr Streisand, he married Barbra in 1998, 12 years and one wife after he divorced Josh's mother) finally moves into star status as good ol' Dubya. It has been a less than meteoric rise for this ex-Goonie with blink and you'll miss him roles in a forgettable slew of 80s and 90s television series and a few memorable turns in some risible indie film schlock (Bed of Roses, Best Laid Plans). It was of course his Nolte-esque performance as psychotic doctor in Grindhouse segment Planet Terror and his likeably vague and fatalistic fortune hunter Llewelyn Moss in the Coen's No Country For Old Men that finally put this 40-year-old in the frame.
From Charlie Sheen in Wall Street and Platoon, Val Kilmer in The Doors, Tom Cruise in Born on the Fourth of July and Kevin Costner in JFK, Stone's films have always carried the hidden agenda of moving their star's careers either up one notch or into an egotistical cul de sac from which there is no return. But Brolin is second generation Californian studio stock, he's taken so long to get here it is unlikely his head will be turned by impersonating the most powerful idiot in the world. Hearing Bush the Elder admonish his unemployable charge on the trailer with the phrase: 'Who do you think you are? A Kennedy? You're a Bush so act like one.' fills one with the opprobrium of unstoppable nepotism.
W. is released on Fri 7 Nov.

Class III & Cheese
Following a modestly bearish US milk production report, sellers swept the legs out from under nearby Class III futures. But the key driver yesterday was spot weakness. Blocks offered 8.5 cents lower to $1.70 and barrels trade a single load to within proximity of the December lows, to $1.5675. Action was tepid (perhaps a neutral response to milk production) leading up to the spot call, with futures holding at technical levels of support. Volume exploded thereafter with nearby contracts breaching those support levels without looking back and by the time the dust settled, the trade was looking at losses between 20-40 cents in the January-March timeframe.
As extreme as the pullback sounds, we'd be remiss not to point out that no material chart damage was incurred on the downdraft, leaving the bullish trend intact and the Q1 timeframe resting on its 20-day moving average at $16.85 (blue line on the chart below). That said, any follow through pressure from these levels has the potential to call into question whether a larger correction is in the offing, which would drive price action back along the $16.00 corridor, where quite a bit of congestion occurred back in November.
Shifting attention away from the Q1 timeframe, price action in the back half of the year has to be respected as contracts from July-December traded firm, unwilling to stray more than a nickel from either side of unchanged. Keeping some level of risk premium in deferred contracts makes sense, but it's also a shift into 'contango' or a cost-of-carry structure. That type of structure is typically bearish in nature, but with the global unknowns out there today, it is just too early to make a long-term bearish call for milk right now.
The trade will get a look at the latest cold storage numbers from USDA tomorrow morning where we expect stocks of American and total cheese to move along seasonal lines and come in higher versus their five-year averages. We're forecasting American cheese stocks to lose 1.4% from last month, but rise 2.8% from 2015 levels, while total cheese stocks for November should decrease 1.5% from a month ago, but expand 4.3% above year-earlier levels to 1,197.4 million pounds. November's total cheese stocks have been lower than the previous month's level in 8 of the past 10 years (full breakout below).
For the week ending December 17th, the National Dairy Products Sales Report saw blocks shed a nickel, to $1.83 on decreased sales volume of 13,573,837 million pounds and barrels follow suit, falling 4 cents, to $1.69 on steady sales volume of 12,247,325 million pounds. Dry whey gained a penny to 0.4030 on steady sales volume of 6,360,381 million pounds.
January-March Class III~Daily
We look for Class III, cheese and whey to open higher.
Class IV, NFDM & Butter
Class IV saw support and in some cases posted double-digit gains on the back of continued butter strength, which saw contracts through 2017 track in the green despite a slight pullback on spot, to $2.2050. The bullish price action witnessed over the past couple of months has been impressive as the market reacted to strong demand that has pulled product across both our northern and southern borders and pushed the spot price to near $2.25. That said, futures feel a bit toppy here and are in overbought territory, which could lead to a similar performance to what Class III saw yesterday.
NFDM futures trimmed back a bit on a steady spot call as sellers remain active at technical levels near the upper edges of the range despite the spot price holding north of the $1.00 mark. Here too, the bullish trend remains intact, as there is plenty of support to the downside and will likely require spot to slip back below the $1.00 threshold to embolden the bearish camp much further.
For the week ending December 17th, the National Dairy Products Sales Report saw butter post a fractional pullback to 2.0974 on slightly decreased sales volume of 3,753,284 million pounds while NFDM gained over a penny, to 0.9671 on steady sales volume of 15,596,958 million pounds.
We look for a steady to higher opening for NFDM, Butter and Class IV.
Grains traded mixed with beans holding technical levels along the $10.00 mark while corn and wheat trimmed back 3-4 cents, all on light volume as the trade enters "holiday mode". Demand remains sufficient and while the weather picture in South America has turned friendlier, there is still quite a bit of time on the clock before traders will put the crop to bed and take out additional risk premium. See below for estimated export sales, which are scheduled to be released this morning.
Calls are for Corn and Wheat to open 1-2 lower, Soybeans 5-8 lower.

Can you believe 2011 is almost over?! I sure can't! We did a ton of projects this year--which I doubt we can match in the up-coming year. But, who knows, right? The house still has some areas that I'd love to re-do and Theo's nursery still needs some finishing touches {um, like a crib mattress!}.
I'm a sucker for looking back. I love the nostalgia it brings and have always loved looking back at memories, pictures, and past posts we've done. You can see on the right handed tool bar what our most popular posts have been {based on google's stats}, so I'm not really going to focus on those. Instead, I'm going to highlight some of our personal favs from this year. Now that we've had some time to spend with them, stared at them or used them, we have a better idea of the ones we love.
Here they are in no particular order...
These turned out to be one of my {Jess's} favorite finished projects. I love seeing them hang over our bed and look at them often. They even inspired me to do my maternity photo shoot in our bedroom.
That last one is so great: even though W couldn't be there but he was still there. :)
One of our projects that's used every.single.day. And he loves it. I remember the mornings when he was first transitioning. You could tell that he knew he was accomplishing something big and was so proud of himself. And we may or may not have slept in it too, some mornings just to attempt some more shut-eye. W says its one of his favs too because it was the first thing we built together...those nights in the garage together after E was asleep.
Still one of my favorite pieces of furniture. It's now a bit more filled in on top with all of our stuff AND a changing pad. But the yellow is so cheery and really brightens up the room.
Yet another piece that's used every day. The bottom shelves are now filled in with more crafting supplies {which by the way needs another re-organization session}. Nonetheless, the extra space is wonderful!

Companies are, on pain of criminal sanction, required by to keep their shareholder registers open for public inspection. However, as a Court of Appeal test case made clear, shareholders are entitled to expect that their personal data will only be used for proper purposes.
Pursuant to Section 116 of the Companies Act 2006, a businessman who specialises in tracing missing shareholders who are unaware of their assets requested a public company to disclose the entirety of its register of members. The company refused to comply and was granted a declaration that it was not obliged to do so by a judge.
The businessman's methods involved tracking down shareholders and telling them that they held an asset, but without informing them of the nature of that asset until they agreed to pay a commission. The judge found that his purpose in requesting disclosure was to use the statutory machinery to obtain personal information so that it could be used to extract fees from missing shareholders. That was achieved through the expedient of not disclosing to shareholders the very information that he had obtained, namely that they held shares in the company.
In dismissing the businessman's appeal against that ruling, the Court found that the disclosure of the register in those circumstances would be contrary to shareholders' interests and that the request had not been made for a proper purpose. The Court noted that the company had in place its own system for tracing lost members on unobjectionable terms.
The Court found that the businessman's request was in any event non-compliant with the legislation, which requires such requests to state, amongst other things, the purpose for which the information is sought, whether it will be disclosed to any other person and, if so, the person's name and address.
