Facts Mrs Watson Challis was in the recruitment agency business. Between 1956 and 1982 she had built up a variety of businesses. In business she went by the pseudonym of Sheila Birch . Then she met Mr Berry. They were impressed by each others business talents and decided to set up a new company. She transferred her business and shareholdings to the new firm, BlueArrow , in which she took a 45 stake. Mr Berry took a 55 stake. BlueArrow had a variety of subsidiaries. Mrs Watson Challis was the executive director of the subsidiaries and the president of the parent, while Mr Berry was the chairman. By 1984, Mrs Watson Challis was travelling overseas, and no longer taking an active part of the company s affairs. The company was floated, it went public. Over time, with many others buying up new share offerings, her percentage of the shareholding went down to 2.1 . She resigned her directorships, but her position as president remained written into the company s constitution, the articles of association . Then she decided she wanted to come back. The management resisted, and they resolved to alter the company s articles so that she could be removed from her position as president. She petitioned the court that such action was unfairly prejudicial because she had a legitimate expectation to participate in the company s affairs. Judgment Vinelott J refused to grant relief to the petitioner. An alleged agreement that she should remain as the chairman was not looked on favourably in this public company, because it contradicts the principle that in public companies information material to good governance should be disclosed ... more details

Unreferenced date September 2010 A Swiss arrow also known as a Dutch arrow , Yorkshire arrow or Gypsy arrow is a weapon similar to an arrow but thrown rather than shot from a bow weapon bow so as to make it a dart missile dart , with the addition of a small notch close to the fletching . Design The arrow shaft is made from wood, and generations of British schoolboys have found that 18 inch 45 cm green garden canes are perfect for the job, being straight and lightweight. A slit is cut at one end to take a pair of card flights, and the other end is given a point. An all important notch is cut into the shaft, just below the flights. After the flights are inserted, the open end of the slit is closed with string or a rubber band to prevent the flights from falling out. Use To launch the arrow, the thrower uses a length of string that is longer than the length of the arrow itself. A knot is tied in one end of the string, and this is placed into the notch in the arrow shaft. The rest of the string is then passed around the shaft once, and is made to align over and above the knot before being stretched down to the point end of the arrow. The string is tightened, ensuring that the knotted end stays within the notch, and the surplus is wound around the thrower s throwing hand. The throwing hand with the string wound around it should be near the point end of the arrow, with the thrower able to easily grip the end. The arrow is then held behind the thrower, with the string taut. The throwing arm should be as fully extended as possible, enabling the arrow to be thrown like a javelin throw javelin , but held much closer to the tip. Following through with the throwing hand allows the string to provide additional forward force on the arrow, extending the length and reach of the thrower s arm, in a fashion similar to a sling weapon sling . A considerable distance can be achieved ... arrow being thrown youtube version DEFAULTSORT Swiss Arrow Category Throwing weapons ... more details
