Thomas Grancourt is now in tunics. His favourite toy is a painted metal horse, presented to him by John Cecil, Baron Snordwich.
Last winter, his mother gave him a sister, Hilith.
With inadequate space in the great chamber for two cribs, their father converted a small outbuilding, originally intended for guests, into a nursery. It is not so warm as the main house, but perfectly comfortable for the summer.
Ewfame has taken over the nursing of both of her children, but Margery has been kept on to help her care for them.
Ewfame treasures the time she spends in the nursery, away from her husbands censure. Gilbert is not malicious, but he never seems pleased with her.
He is happiest hunting with friends, or riding through the countryside on his horse Able.
But even Able sometimes lets him down.
With the warm midsummer weather upon them, Ewfame takes every opportunity to escape to the great lake with Margery and the children.
Whenever she feels the water against her skin, she feels weightless, free from care.
On Tuesday, the first after midsummer, Adam packs the women a picnic of bread and summer berries.
Back at Havlock Hall, Gilbert is entertaining Parson Couer and Mace Rostand, a university friend of the parson's, now a lawyer in Advorton.
Adam prepares their supper with special care. He is happy to have fresh ingredients for his kitchen.
He sauces a silverside of lamb with mint.
For once, his master is impressed.
Over supper, Grancourt and his guests exchange news. Rostand has family in Crafthole, but has not visited anywhere nearby since Lord Snordwich's last Nativity celebration. He is delighted to hear of Perroy's victory at his lordship's archery tournament, and of the birth of young Roger Cecil.
The gentlemen wash down their meal with cups of refreshing berry nectar. It lacks the depth of flavour of the autumn blends, but is just right for a warm evening.
The nectar has been made by Mistress Grancourt herself, small-scale domestic brewing for all but the grandest households being seen as women's work.
On Wednesday afternoon, Philip Clerinell's groom John arrives at Havlock Hall with a letter from his master. While Grancourt reads it over, Adam and William take the young man to rest in the buttery, where they serve him bread and nectar.
They learn that Clerinell's wife has given him a third child, a daughter he will name Felicia. John speaks affectionately of her older sisters, Alice and Beatrice, both around Thomas' age.
The next day, another visitor calls. It is Margery's son Hugh with some fish to sell.
Hugh's uncle gives him a good price for his fish, along with a piece of pie, and sends William to fetch the boy's mother.
She is overjoyed to see her child.
The fish will make a good supper for Friday evening, but only Mistress Grancourt will be present to enjoy it. The letter that her husband received was an invitation to Felicia Clerinell's naming fest, and on Friday morning he departs. William readies the horses and the household gathers in the courtyard to see them off.
In her husband's absence, Ewfame makes two more trips to the lake with Margery and the children.
Hilith especially seems to love the water.
For the next two evenings, Ewfame takes her supper in the nursery, but after the Sunday service she makes the parson her guest in the great hall. Since William is away, she gives Margery's son a small purse to wait on them.
At one point, he trips and almost lets the bread fall to the floor. He is mortified, but luckily Ewfame is too absorbed in her meal to notice.
By nightfall, Gilbert and William have returned. Ewfame orders Adam to prepare her husband some food while he washes off the dirt from the road.
After he has eaten, the couple retire to bed. Ewfame reads aloud from their book of hours, and together they pray for health, happiness, and patience.

Tersurus was a planet with singing stones and clone banks. (PROSE: All-Consuming Fire) It was mentioned as being in the "Outer Planets" in the Matrix. (AUDIO: Neverland)
History Edit
In the Old Time, the Other sent Susan Foreman to Tersurus during the Great Schism so that she would be safe from the civil war erupting on Gallifrey. (PROSE: Lungbarrow)
May Zalrick bought Attow Eels on Tersurus. (AUDIO: The Havoc of Empires)
Following a ploy with the Daleks on 22nd century Earth, the Master travelled with Susan Foreman in his TARDIS to Tersurus, where she believed she killed him. (PROSE: Legacy of the Daleks) According to another account, however, the Master attempted to attack a Time Lord outpost on the planet, and was left disfigured after a confrontation with a future incarnation, as part of a plan to join the Cult of the Heretic. (AUDIO: The Two Masters) In any event, a signal sent to Gallifrey by the Master's TARDIS drew Chancellor Goth to Tersurus, where he found the disfigured body of the Master. (TV: The Deadly Assassin)
The Time Lords had an outpost on Tersurus. The Master infiltrated this base on another occasion in order to gain forbidden knowledge on the Dimensioneers. (AUDIO: Dominion)
Missy recalled once climbing through the sewers on Tersurus. (AUDIO: The Bekdel Test)
After his TARDIS was damaged by a vortex parasite, the Eighth Doctor patched it up on Tersurus. (COMIC: A Life of Matter and Death)
In 6211, a Sontaran stealth raid destroyed Tersurus with an earthshock bomb which they had obtained from the Cybermen. (PROSE: The Crystal Bucephalus)
During the War in Heaven, the Memeovore consumed the Tersurans' forms of communication, so they had to evolve other, more tenuous forms. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5)
Behind the scenes Edit
The Curse of Fatal Death Edit
Tersurus is a setting in the Comic Relief special mini The Curse of Fatal Death, which this wiki does not consider to be a valid source. In the special, Rowan Atkinson's Ninth Doctor meets with the Master on Tersurus to tell him the news that he has plans to marry his companion Emma and retire.
The special also gives details on the natives of Tersurus, the Tersurons. The Doctor explains to Emma that the Tersurons were a kindly, peace-loving race shunned and abhorred by the rest of the universe due to their method of communicating solely through precisely modulated farting. They destroyed themselves after discovering fire. The evolution of this form of communication is briefly explained in PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5.
The Master makes one final attempt to destroy the Doctor and his companion, Emma, by plunging them into the vast, labryrinthian sewers of Terserus. The sewers being so vast and complex, as well as disgusting and treacherous, it takes the Master himself 312 years to escape from them, being repeatedly knocked into the sewers on three separate occasions, requiring the Daleks to regress him back to a more youthful state. This adventure was briefly referenced by Missy in AUDIO: The Bekdel Test.

Slots : Slots History - Beginning at the RootsBy admin
|Jan 10th 2010
Slot machines are recognized around the world as a symbol for gambling. In fact, you could literally look at the machine and right away you would identify it with gambling itself. Slot machine are a hugely popular collectible for people to have in their homes.
In a casino, of course, the machine represents a game that is arguably the most valuable to the house, not only in the brick and mortar environment but in the online world as well. As it's evolved over the years, it has also become very much a cultural phenomenon, and many of the "branded" versions of slots have a genuine connection with pop culture.
So how did the slot machine come to be, and how did it gain so much popularity?
You've got to go back to the 19th century to come up with part of the answer to that question.
A company called Sittman and Pitt of Brooklyn, New York developed a machine back in 1891 that contained five "drums" along with fifty card faces. It was relatively similar to a five-card stud game; at the end of the round it was the best poker hand that wound up winning. The machines were popular in the hospitality establishments in and around New York City, and since no money was paid out of the machine, prizes were given out on an arbitrary basis by management. The reality is that this was actually a forerunner to the video poker machine; not longer after, though, something more specifically connected to the slot machine we know today was devised.
The city of origin for the slot machine was probably San Francisco, and the inventor would have been Charles Fey, a mechanic by trade who drew up and built the machine in his shop. Reports of the date are a bit fuzzy, but the San Francisco Chronicle documented a demonstration Fey made for his new machine back in 1887.
Even though the term "slot machine" was used for the device, it brought confusion, because that term was also used for an automated vending machine that dispensed items like candy or cigarettes. After a while, the slot machine became, well, the slot machine.
Fey was essentially the inventor of the three-reel slot machine. They had symbols that were derived from card decks, in addition to horseshoes and bells. There was also a cracked Liberty Bell symbol on each reel. So it also took on the monicker "Liberty Bell Machine."
This particular machine was triggered when the player put a coin into it. Then there was an arm handle that had to be pulled. The reels stopped automatically at some point, and the symbols that appeared on the center "line" would determine winning or losing. The ultimate was to get three Liberty Bells in a row, which would produce a payoff of 50 cents.
And the whole thing was off and running.

Unfortunately, the airport was down and my entire trip has been canceled. My travel agent (whom has a representative on the island) has said that most of the resorts suffered no damage, and as soon as the roads are functional again, everything will be good to go. She's estimating 4 months MAX. With your wedding being in July, I'm positive that everything will be perfect by then.

How Poker Helped Barry Greenstein's Golf Game
Playing poker has given Barry the tools to think well under pressure
Phil Ivey, real name Phillip Dennis Ivey Jr. is widely regarded as one of the best poker players to ever grace this earth. His massive personality and phenomenal poker skills have taken him to the top of the poker world throughout the past 20 years. To try your hand at becoming one of the best, we suggest Carbon Poker for USA players. He was born in Riverside, California on Feburary 1st 1976, and started playing poker around his twenties were he got his first nickname "No Home Jerome" come from the ID he used to play at the local casino and later on he got the nickname "Tiger Woods of Poker".
It was from here Ivey started to hone his skills and slowly start to become noticed as a very scary opponent.
"The Corporation" vs Andrew Beal
Perhaps one of the most notable stories surrounding Ivey's poker career is that of his Heads Up battle with billionaire banker Andrew Beal back in 2006. According to several reports around that time, Ivey and Beal played three days of poker against each other, with Ivey coming out on top with a cool $16.6m profit. This whole saga stemmed from an ongoing battle between Beal and several top players for many years before that, in which the players then decided to club together, coin themselves 'The Corporation' and take on Beal. It was also reported that the $16.6m win meant that 'The Corporation' had won back $10m they had lost to Beal previously and added the $6.6m to their bankroll as a whole.
World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour
Phil Ivey have had a glorious poker carrier having won ten World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets as well as one World Poker Tour (WPT) Final and also appearing nine times at the final table.
Ivey was named Poker Players of the Year by "All In Magazine" in 2005 and 2009
As TheHendonMob reports Phil Ivey has accumulated more than 23 million dollars from tournaments alone, and over $10m in online winnings. A big percentage of this money came from other regular high stakes players such as Patrik Antonius, Viktor Blom, and Tom Dwan.

Our K-9 Program
Tumwater's K-9 Team
Officer Mize and his partner "James"
Along with regular patrol duties, the K-9 Unit provides expert support in locating suspects, tracking missing persons, narcotics detection, and locating potential evidence.
History of the K-9 Program
The Tumwater Police Department initiated the K-9 program in 2006, thanks to the efforts of Officer Mize and outstanding community support. After acquiring the distinctly calm and collected German Shepherd "Otis" vom Rugenhof from Hidden Haus Inc., Officer Mize and K-9 "Otis" became a certified tracking team in November 2006. The first three years of the program were fully funded by community donations. With continued support from the community, the team expanded its service by becoming a certified narcotics detection team in 2009. In his first eights, the K-9 unit deployed over 250 times and assisted eleven outside agencies. Our K-9 team also participates in numerous community events and demonstrations. Additionally, Officer Mize has achieved certification as a Master K-9 Handler.
K-9 James joins the Department
Finding a K-9 to follow in K-9 Otis' rather large paw prints proved time intensive, but the Tumwater Police Department has found a perfect match. Originally from Holland, by way of C&J K9 in Rochester, Dutch Shepherd "James" arrived in Tumwater in 2016. K-9 James and Officer Mize were fast friends, and immediately began the process toward certification and training as a team. Now successfully certified in narcotics detection and tracking, James is on the job. When James isn't dutifully protecting the Tumwater community with Officer Mize, he likes spending his time in their backyard and getting scratches behind the ears.

Although I am happy for the New Year which I view as a clean slate, I am a little worried about what the New Year may hold. Although Australia is doing well compared to a lot of countries in the current economic crisis we don't know what the future holds. Normally I wouldn't be so worried about this sort of thing, but now being a business owner of a very quickly expending business you tend to listen a little more closely to these things. So I am hoping that the doom and gloom and hard times that they tend to dwell upon on the TV is all greatly exaggerated and that it will work out in the end.
Anyway enough doom and gloom, 2008 for my family was one of many highlights and not too many downs (thankfully). Paul and I had always said that we will never own a truck too much money and worry involved and it so much easier to work for someone else. But when a business opportunity can up November 2007 it was too good to knock back and we are glad that we did. It has been a step learning curve but one worth doing.
We have now expanded from owing an old 1996 model Kenworth truck and trailer to now owning two brand new Kenworth 's and having an employee. It all has happened so quickly it was mainly over Christmas time when both trucks were at home did it really sink in that they were ours, we know that the first years are always the hardest but we are looking to the future and hopefully growing the business for our sons future.
Sorry for waffling on so much but this being New Years Day I am thinking about what my priorities are for the next year. Of cause my family is number 1, but number 2 is defiantly the business and trying to learn as much as possible. How different my priorities are compared to last years resolutions which of cause never got done, the story of my life.
So I hope that everyone has a wonderful and exciting year this year with not too many down times. Till next time.

Three short plays by Susan Glaspell – Trifles, Suppressed Desires and The Outside.
Trifles is arguably Glaspell's masterpiece. In the aftermath of a death, possibly a murder, the authorities of law and order investigate. But it is the two wives, accompanying their husbands, who deduce the most from the trifles in the kitchen as their men go about their business.
Suppressed Desires, written with Glaspell's husband George Cram Cook, takes a very funny look at the then new vogue of Freudian analysis with hilarious results.
The Outside is set in a disused life-saving station, now belonging to Mrs Patrick as a refuge from life, a sanctuary on the edge of existence. But when the former life savers return with a body to be revived, the owner and her companion are forced to re-assess life on the edge.

November 2017 Supplement
Sponsored by Cook Medical
Use of ZFEN in Community Practice
The current state of treatment for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms in community practice using the Zenith Fenestrated stent graft.
In 1998, Anderson and colleagues performed the first clinical implant of a Cook Medical fenestrated stent graft to treat a high-risk surgical patient with a juxtarenal aortic aneurysm. Long before the publication of their experience with this novel technique in 2001,1 the technology was being adopted by others and disseminated through workshops in Australia, Europe, and Southeast Asia. In the United States, it was embraced by Dr. Roy Greenberg, who began implanting fenestrated devices in August 2001 and later reported his experience in a cohort of 22 patients.2 Over the ensuing decade, only a handful of United States academic centers with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of an investigational device exemption had access to this device. It was not until April 2012, after a prospective trial at 14 United States academic centers3 that the FDA approved the commercial use of the Zenith Fenestrated (ZFEN) stent graft (Cook Medical) in the United States, giving community surgeons access to this device for the first time.
With few exceptions, United States academic institutions continue to be the source of the next generation of physicians. Furthermore, these centers shape the future of medicine by serving as the preeminent engine in charge of evaluating and reporting outcomes of various conditions and procedures, including outcomes of industry-conceived new technologies. This trend will likely continue for the foreseeable future. However, the majority of vascular care in this country is and will continue to be delivered by community vascular surgeons—a group that currently encompasses two-thirds of the entire vascular surgical workforce.4
Unfortunately, reports on outcomes of surgical procedures performed by physicians in the community remain scarce, as the majority of vascular publications originate from the very institutions tasked with producing the next generation of vascular specialists. This scarcity is mostly driven by economics of medicine because the majority of community surgeons have productivity-based contracts with few to no incentives to embark on academic endeavors. Recent changes in medical payment are forcing many community physicians to become hospital employed, and thus they can negotiate contracts that are still based on relative value units but also include involvement in hospital leadership committees and, in some instances, reporting of clinical outcomes.
A recent report on ordering trends suggests that academic medical centers remain the biggest implanters of ZFEN devices in the United States. However, the number of devices ordered by physicians in community practices nearly doubled from 2013 to 2014.5 This growth rate was larger than that observed in academic practices during the same period of time. As an increasing number of community vascular surgeons continue to be trained every year, it is assumed that this trend will continue. However, several challenges continue to plague this group of physicians, as highlighted in the following sections.
Patient Selection
Patient selection is one of the most important determinants of clinical outcomes for every surgical procedure. For most physicians in community practice, fenestrated stent grafts continue to be reserved for high-risk surgical patients who are not candidates for open repair. This line of thought originates from the initial uncertainty surrounding the long-term performance of fenestrated devices. However, these devices have been implanted in thousands of patients around the world for the past 20 years, and several studies on their performance have shown that fenestrations have a long-term occlusion rate of < 2%.6-8 These revelations have led many forward-thinkers in aortic surgery to start offering fenestrated procedures to both high- and low-risk surgical patients as long as the anatomy is suitable for such a repair. It is believed that the vast majority of physicians will come to share this philosophy as reports continue to show the excellent performance of these devices.
Device Design and Sizing
The next challenge after patient selection is device design and planning. Currently, Cook Medical requires a physician to perform a minimum of two cases before being considered "signed off." Although this decision is left at the discretion of the proctor, most physicians are signed off after these initial two cases. This is largely due to the fact that the first two cases are performed with relative ease, because they are carefully scrutinized by experienced proctoring faculties and fall within the instructions for use (ie, a 4- to 14-mm neck with no thrombus or calcifications, limited neck angulation, and limited iliac artery tortuosity).
However, after implantation of the initial two cases, continued success of the endovascular complex aortic aneurysm program is based on the drive, dedication, vision, and clinical judgment of the lead physician(s) and the support from administration. Obtaining the proper CTA images (2-mm cuts) and meticulous analysis of the scans of every patient undergoing repair using a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction workstation is paramount. Every CTA scan must be analyzed using centerline-of-flow measurements to determine lengths, angulations, clock positions, and arc lengths.
The challenge is that a large number of community vascular surgeons do not have access to 3D workstations and rely on industry representatives to size cases for them. Although most representatives have been thoroughly trained and can be trusted to perform the job well, it is the physician's responsibility to ascertain the sizing accuracy of devices that are implanted in patients. One way of addressing this challenge is by investing the time required to learn programs such as 3mensio (Pie Medical Imaging), a software available to all of Cook Medical's clinical representatives who are willing to help physicians size cases with them rather than for them. The other option is to take advantage of TeraRecon's complimentary short-term software access. Although this is a short-term fix, we have successfully used it at our institution prior to convincing administration that purchasing the program was a worthwhile investment.
Surgical Team, Ancillary Tools, and Postoperative Care
The impact of surgeon and hospital volume on outcomes has been well documented and should not come as a surprise. Having an experienced team is extremely important for the success of an endovascular complex aortic aneurysm program. This team should not only include a creative and astute lead surgeon(s) with excellent endovascular skills, especially with visceral artery interventions, but also a dedicated support staff. At my institution, we have two techs for these cases, one of which has scrubbed nearly all of our cases and serves as the lead tech for the program. This tech's involvement is invaluable, and the program would not be what it is without him. In addition, a comprehensive inventory of wires, catheters, balloons, sheaths, and stents is key to the successful implantation of fenestrated devices. We have previously reported on a comprehensive list of helpful ancillary tools for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.9
Postoperatively, the majority of patients treated with ZFEN can be admitted to the general floor, provided nurses are trained on how to care for them. This is certainly the case in our practice, where over the last 2 years, the majority of our patients are admitted directly to the general floor after the repair procedure and discharged home 2 days later. Lactate, complete blood count, and basic metabolic panels are drawn postprocedure and every day that the patient is in the hospital. We prefer to keep the Foley catheter in place the first 24 hours to closely monitor urine output. Postoperative CTA of the abdomen and pelvis is performed prior to discharge in patients with normal renal function, which allows us to address any type I or III endoleaks that might have been missed intraoperatively.
Like many others, we initially struggled to find ideal candidates for fenestrated stent grafts and get buy-in from partners and hospital staff. We had the great fortune of having the trust and support of our chairman who believed in our ability to build this program even though we were fresh out of fellowship. After countless talks to operating room nurses, cath lab techs, anesthesia staff, advanced practice providers, and intensive care unit and surgical floor nursing staff, we implanted the first fenestrated stent graft in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, in December 2013—the initiation of our endovascular complex aortic aneurysm repair program.
The majority of low-risk surgical patients with complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (cAAAs) are still treated by open repair in our practice. However, since December 2013, we have endovascularly treated over 84 high-risk surgical patients with cAAAs using the ZFEN stent graft. Five patients underwent repair with local or spinal anesthesia, including one who presented with a ruptured aneurysm.10 The mean Society for Vascular Surgery/American Association for Vascular Surgeon Comorbidity Severity Score for our cohort was 15 (range, 13–17). Fifty percent of patients were American Society of Anesthesiologists class III or IV. A total of 226 visceral arteries were incorporated in this cohort, with only one renal artery lost as a result of dissection while attempting fenestration cannulation. The majority of patients (97.6%) were discharged directly home 2 days after repair, with only two patients requiring nursing home placement. Further analysis revealed a trend in our practice: there was a move away from offering two-vessel fenestrated devices. This shift resulted in the vast majority of our patients being treated with three-vessel fenestrated devices than any other configuration (Figure 1). With increasing experience, we noted a decrease in procedure time and radiation dose even as case complexity increased (Figure 2).
Even in this high-risk surgical group, the rate of major adverse events in our cohort was 13.1%, mortality was 2.4%, and all but two patients were discharged directly home 2 days after repair. Our outcomes are in line with contemporary reports from high-volume academic centers that have a reported 30-day mortality of 1% to 5% and a major adverse event rate of 14% in patients treated with fenestrated stent grafts.
Advances in medical therapy are enabling people with multiple comorbidities to live longer, and vascular surgeons are being tasked to care for these patients. Because community surgeons deliver the majority of vascular care in the United States, it is imperative that these physicians are equipped with tools needed to effectively care for these patients. Community vascular surgeons are increasingly embracing repair of cAAAs with ZFEN stent grafts. This technology will likely become the treatment modality of choice for all patients with suitable anatomy once it is fully disseminated.

Posted August 25, 2005 by publisher in Cuba-US Trade

BY FRANCES ROBLES | Miami Herald
Four decades after Fidel Castro's government had apparently seized all foreign-owned properties in Cuba, it now turns out that a U.S. telephone company retained some 400 acres of land in and around Havana until just two years ago.
News of the surprising landholdings came after Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide—owners of the Sheraton hotel chain—filed a complaint last week with the U.S. Justice Department for $63 million worth of land it said the Cuban government seized in 2003 from a Starwood subsidiary.
''The land belongs to us. They can't take it,'' said Ignacio Sánchez, a Washington lawyer who represents Starwood. "The Cuban government basically said to go pound sand.''
The claim startled Cuba experts and some U.S. government officials, who were unaware that any American company still owned land in Cuba. Castro nationalized virtually all foreign-owned properties in 1960, from land to sugar mills to factories.
Starwood's land was owned by Radio Corporacion Cubana (RCC), a company established in Cuba in 1922 as a subsidiary of the International Telephone and Telegrap
The Cuban government probably didn't seize the land in the 1960s because it wanted the telephone service to continue, according to people close to the case. But why the Cubans didn't seize the properties after the phone service stopped in 1992 remains a mystery, they added.
By the time Castro's government got around to seizing the land—citing ''hostile laws and policies of the U.S. government''—the U.S. commission that fielded complaints from U.S. citizens who had lost property in the 1960s had long closed its books.
The commission, which was created in 1967 and shut down in 1972, certified some 6,000 claims totaling $1.8 billion. With a 6 percent interest, that now stands as a $6 billion tab. Among the biggest claimants were North American Sugar and United Fruit Sugar Co.
''This is a policy of looking out for citizens when facing a government that is taking properties,'' said Mauricio J. Tamargo, chairman of the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission. "There will be a day when the U.S. and Cuba normalize relations and for that to occur, there has to be a settlement, and that has to be paid.''
To address Starwood's recent seizure, the commission has reopened, paving the way for a claim by the hotel chain and any other U.S. citizen or company whose properties have been taken.
''Cuba was not to be reasoned with,'' Sánchez said, 'so the company availed itself of its rights and went to the federal government, saying, `Here's another confiscation after 40 some-odd years.' ''
Experts in Cuba property issues said reopening the claims commission for the benefit of one company is unprecedented. The move was welcomed by attorneys and claimants, even if few recent claims are likely.
The rules for filing a claim against Cuba are strict. The applicant must be a U.S. citizen or company at the time the property is taken. And it must have been seized after May 1967.
Attorney Robert Muse, an expert in Cuba trade issues, said applicants could include, for example, Cubans who arrived during the Mariel boat lift, became U.S. citizens, and then had family property seized after the death of a loved one.

Freedom of Information - Appeals
Appeal of a Decision
Under the Freedom of Information Act, a person generally has a right to appeal a decision taken by a public body. The appeal is to a higher authority within the body and/or to the Information Commissioner. Unless the application for review constitutes an appeal concerning personal information, a decision under section 9 or 10 or a decision in relation to the charging of fees or deposits, the following fees must be paid by the applicant before a review can proceed:
Fees - Application for Internal Review:
30 euro (reduced to 10 euro if the applicant is covered by a medical card)
Fees - Application for Review by Information Commissioner:
50 euro (reduced to 15 euro if the applicant is covered by a medical card)
Internal Review
Section 21 provides for internal review of initial decisions made by a public body. Internal reviews must normally be undertaken before an appeal may be made to the Information Commissioner. The Act requires that an internal review must:
- be undertaken at a higher level than that at which the original decision was taken
- be completed within 15 working days from receipt of the request for a review and relevant fee
- uphold, annul or vary the original decision.
An application for internal review must be made within 20 working days of the initial decision, but head of public body has discretion to extend this period. If no decision is made within 15 working days, non-reply is deemed to be a refusal and the applicant may proceed with an appeal to the Information Commissioner.
Decisions which Bypass Internal Review
The following are decisions which are referred directly to the Information Commissioner without going through the process of internal review:
- section 38 matters i.e. where the public body is required to consult with a third party
- extension of time limit for deciding on a request (section 14)
Review by Information Commissioner
Section 22 of the Act establishes the Office of Information Commissioner. The Office reflects key features of the independent appeals system under FOI in terms of:
- independence
- powers to seek documents and compel witnesses
- a mandate to operate informally
- decisions binding, subject to review by the High Court and Supreme Court
- specific time limits
- a mandate to review operation of the Act (including the operation of particular provisions) and compliance by public bodies
- reporting directly to the Houses of the Oireachtas
The Information Commissioner is bound by the Act to start from the position that a decision to refuse a request for information was unjustified. The onus is therefore on a public body to document and explain fully the basis for a decision to refuse a request by reference to the provisions of the Act. If a decision to refuse a request is appealed to the Information Commissioner, the public body will be invited to make a submission. The importance of cogent, well argued submissions, clearly identifying the basis for exemptions and harm and/or public interest considerations, where relevant, cannot be overemphasised.
What Decisions can the Commissioner Review?
The Commissioner may review the following:
- decisions made on internal review under section 21
- decisions on charges
- decisions to extend the time for consideration of requests 14
- decisions to defer the provision of access to a record falling within section 29 or a matter of such public interest that the Minister first wishes to inform the Houses of Oireachtas
- the Oireachtas
- decisions to which the consultation procedures outlined in section 29 apply
- decisions to refuse a request for a record on the grounds that section 42 (restriction of Act) applies
How to contact the Information Commissioner
The Office of Information Commissioner may be contacted at the following address:
Office of the Information Commissioner
6 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2, D02 W773.
Tel: +353 (0)1 639 5689

Fashion South Africa
Fashion is something which is universal in nature. No matter wherever you go, you can always find out the latest fashion trends that are concurrent in the world. South Africa is no exception. Fashion stores are located all over this country. However, there are always 2 sides to fashion clothing. What are they? Well, the first and the most obvious one is universal fashion. This style of clothing and fashion apparatus deals with whatever is going on in the whole world. What is the other? That includes local fashion.
Attributes of Stores
Now many countries do not actually possess local fashion. South Africa tends to be the exception. In this country, you can actually find several stores dedicated to its indigenous designer clothing lines only. On top of that, there are several brands available in the market which can also correspond to a higher level of universal fashion. Clothes are an important commodity in today's world. People identify themselves with clothes. This is the reason as to why people are so obsessed about finding the correct fashion statement that suits them the most.
Having said that, South Africa has various branded fashion stores all over the country, which primarily deal with top of the line clothing, including designer clothes and common clothing. Even in the remotest part of this country, you can find various clothing stores that can satisfy your needs. Men have their separate line of clothes and so do women. Currency plays a major role here – which means that clothes actually cost less than in places such as the United States of America or England. Since South Africa is also a tourist attraction, several indigenous clothes stores have been set up to give the tourists an authentic feel in to the culture of this nation.
Local Stores

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Wild goalie Niklas Backstrom thinks of the Edmonton Oilers as just another division opponent. The stats say something quite different.
On Wednesday night, Backstrom continued his mastery of the Oilers, stopping 30 shots in the Wild's 3-1 victory to improve to 14-1 in his career against Edmonton.
"It seems like he has our team's number," said Oilers centre Shawn Horcoff, lamenting missed opportunities. "Tonight it actually seemed like he wasn't that comfortable in there. He was kicking out some rebounds and we just weren't picking up quality chances at the net."
Backstrom, 11-0 against the Oilers at home, stopped Patrick O'Sullivan on a third-period breakaway and Sheldon Souray on a short-handed rush late in the game.
"I don't try to think about that," Backstrom said. "It's the same as when you go out and think about the shutout – the next shot is going to be a goal. It's a good team to play against."
Andrew Brunette, Owen Nolan and Guillaume Latendresse scored for the Wild, who snapped a two-game losing streak. Robert Nilsson scored the only goal for the Oilers, losers of five in a row.
Nolan's winner came late in the second period, when he took advantage of an Oilers defensive error. After a pass from Eric Belanger, Nolan closed on the Oilers' net just as Edmonton defenceman Steve Staios tripped and fell, leaving a clear route to the crease. Nolan flipped a rising backhander beyond Oilers goaltender Jeff Deslauriers' glove.
"I didn't have many options," said Nolan, who also had a third-period fight with Souray. "He is a big goalie and the scouting report is that he goes down. I tried to get the puck up."
The teams traded goals midway through the opening period. With Minnesota on a power play Marek Zidlicky's shot from the blue-line created a sizable rebound. Brunette was able to corral and deposit the loose puck with a sweeping backhand shot.
Edmonton answered less than two minutes later on a similar play. Backstrom made a blocker save of a long-range shot by defenceman Tom Gilbert, but sent the rebound 10 feet out. Nilsson got possession and was able to backhand the puck past the sprawling goaltender.
"He made some big saves at key times tonight," Wild coach Todd Richards said. "We did a decent job in front of him. I think he would like to have that goal back. He kind of threw the rebound right back out in front."
Latendresse scored into an empty net with 5.9 seconds left. Deslauriers finished with 24 saves for the Oilers, who had won five road games in a row before Wednesday.
"There were a lot of good things we could take out of there," Oilers coach Pat Quinn said. "If we can just get rid of some of those boneheaded soft plays, we'll get there."
NOTES: Brunette, who leads the Wild with 11 goals, had not scored in his previous eight games. … Deslauriers was making his first career appearance against the Wild. His season record fell to 8-8-2 with the loss. … Wild winger Martin Havlat played despite leaving practice early Tuesday due to illness. He was held without a goal or assist, snapping a six-game points streak.

|ZHizn' ne v tom, chtoby zhit', a v tom, chtoby chuvstvovat', chto zhivesh'. - V.O. Klyuchevskij
No. 159, Part I, 16 August 1996
This is Part I of the Open Media Research Institute's Daily Digest. Part I is a compilation of news concerning Russia, Transcaucasia and Central Asia. Part II, covering Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe is distributed simultaneously as a second document. Back issues of the Daily Digest, and other information about OMRI, are available through OMRI's WWW pages: http://www.omri.cz/Index.html RUSSIA LEBED MEETS YANDARBIEV . . . Security Council Secretary Aleksandr Lebed held talks in the Chechen village of Starye Atagi on the afternoon of 15 August with acting Chechen President Zelimkhan Yandarbiev and Chechen Chief of Staff Aslan Maskhadov, Russian and Western agencies reported. Lebed described the talks as "constructive" and "hopeful," saying that both sides had agreed that the conflict should be resolved by "exclusively peaceful means" but that "purely military issues" must be resolved before discussing the issue of Chechnya's status. Lebed also announced the creation of a supervisory commission to monitor "the strict observance of ceasefire conditions," saying it would include representatives from the neighboring republics of Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkariya, and Ingushetiya. Yandarbiev said Lebed's peace efforts "deserve the highest praise," while separatist spokesmen later said that Lebed had "confirmed his intention to withdraw troops from the territory of Chechnya," after an unspecified "transitional period." -- Scott Parrish . . . AND PROMISES TO REVEAL THOSE "RESPONSIBLE" FOR THE CHECHEN CONFLICT. At a press conference following his arrival in Grozny on the morning of 15 August, Lebed promised to disclose the names of the "heroes" responsible for both beginning and perpetuating the Chechen conflict, Russian media reported. He then expressed the opinion that the continuation of fighting in the republic is "profitable" for some unnamed groups. "Nobody knows if this is a war or not. Nobody knows who started it, what caused it," Lebed complained. Before his afternoon meeting with Yandarbiev, Lebed met at the federal forces headquarters in Khankala with Ruslan Aushev, president of neighboring Ingushetiya. Aushev, a frequent critic of federal government policy in Chechnya, said he fully backs Lebed's peace initiative. -- Scott Parrish GROZNY RELATIVELY QUIET. Despite sporadic gunfire, the night of 15-16 August was quieter than any in the past 10 days, ITAR-TASS reported. Russian military spokesmen said two federal servicemen were killed and 12 wounded overnight. One reason for the relative lack of fighting, according to NTV, is that separatist fighters now virtually control the entire city, with federal troops isolated in a few barracks and bunkers. The network reported that instead of federal troops, separatist fighters now run check points in central Grozny. Despite the current truce, the fighters are digging fortifications in anticipation of Russian efforts to storm the city. At a Moscow press conference, Interior Minister Anatolii Kulikov said 2,000 Chechen fighters confront 7,000 federal troops in the city. -- Scott Parrish FOREIGN MINISTRY CRITICIZES OSCE ON CHECHNYA. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mikhail Demurin lambasted the OSCE for making statements that he claimed attributed "equal responsibility" to federal forces and Chechen separatist fighters for the recent intensification of the conflict. Demurin complained that current OSCE chairman Flavio Cotti's references to "the sides in the conflict" and "the warring parties" contradict the OSCE's position that Chechnya is an internal matter of the Russian Federation. He added that Cotti unjustifiably treated as equals the separatist fighters, whom he described as "unconstitutional armed formations," and federal troops, which he termed "government law enforcement organs." Meanwhile, Tim Guldimann, head of the OSCE assistance group in Chechnya, said he stands ready to mediate in any new negotiations aimed at resolving the conflict. -- Scott Parrish BOLSHAKOV: "A NORMAL SOVIET APPARATCHIK." First Deputy Prime Minister Aleksei Bolshakov will be Chernomyrdin's main deputy in the new government. Former Finance Minister Boris Fedorov has labeled him "a normal Soviet apparatchik, not a radical reformer," Reuters reported. Izvestiya on 16 August described his rise as a "surprise," while Kommersant-Daily noted that he is the least known of the new first deputy prime ministers. He worked in the military industrial enterprises of Leningrad for more than 20 years. As deputy prime minister for the CIS from 1994-1996, he succeeded in restoring some economic ties between Russian and CIS enterprises and in creating a new financial network to stimulate trade and the payment of debts to Russia. His appointment indicates Yeltsin's priority on strengthening CIS ties, Rossiiskaya gazeta reported on 16 August. -- Robert Orttung REACTION TO GOVERNMENT FORMATION. Former Fuel and Energy Minister Yurii Shafranik was apparently one of the main losers in the government reshuffle as his ministerial post remains vacant. He may be paying for his inability to pacify the country's miners and his opposition to the IMF's proposals to replace export duties on oil and gas with excise taxes, which also fall on domestic customers, Kommersant-Daily reported. The deputy leader of the Communist Party Duma faction Valentin Kuptsov said that the new government will not change the social-economic situation in the country in any substantial way, NTV reported on 15 August. Former acting Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar said that there are too many deputy prime ministers in the new cabinet. Chernomyrdin said that some of the current vacancies could still go to members of the opposition. -- Robert Orttung ILYUSHIN MOVES INTO GOVERNMENT. As expected, President Yeltsin's senior aide, Viktor Ilyushin, was appointed first deputy prime minister in charge of "social affairs." Ilyushin is a former Komsomol organizer who had worked as Yeltsin's personal secretary since 1980, when Yeltsin was party chief in Sverdlovsk. There is much speculation over why Ilyushin has given up his crucial job as the "gatekeeper" who controls access to the president for the thankless task of dealing with Russia's bankrupt health, pension, and social welfare systems. He could have been pushed out at Chief of Staff Chubais's insistence; he could be trying to serve as "Yeltsin's man" inside the government; or he might be positioning himself for the post-Yeltsin succession struggle. -- Peter Rutland VLADIMIR POTANIN PROFILE. Vladimir Potanin, the 35-year-old chairman of Oneksimbank, was appointed on 13 August to the post of first deputy prime minister in charge of economic affairs. Potanin is seen as having close ties with a wide spectrum of Russia's political elite, from reformer Anatolii Chubais to conservative Oleg Soskovets. Although he describes himself as a banker and entrepreneur, he has spent most of his career in state and state-owned foreign trade organizations: the Soviet Foreign Trade Ministry, the Interros foreign trade association (1991), and the International Financial Company (1992). In 1993, he became president of Oneksimbank, one of the five leading banks of Russia which has close ties to the state. In March 1995, Potanin was instrumental in creating the consortium of seven banks that suggested the controversial loans-for-shares auction scheme to the government. His bank subsequently played an active role in the auctions, acquiring a 38% stake in the world's largest nickel producer, Norilsk Nickel. Potanin's task will be to improve tax collection while simultaneously reviving capital investment. -- Natalia Gurushina and Peter Rutland ALEKSANDR LIVSHITS PROFILE. The former economic adviser to President Yeltsin, Aleksandr Livshits, has been appointed the new finance minister and deputy prime minister, international media reported. His main task is to concentrate on increasing taxes. Livshits spent most of his professional career (1974-1992) in academic circles, and is known for his liberal and monetarist economic views. Still, he accepts that the country needs a social safety-net. He was behind the government's pre-election campaign in March to repay wage arrears. Livshits was also one of the first officials to draw attention to unfair tax benefits enjoyed by sport organizations and organizations for the disabled, which allowed them to make money on alcohol imports. -- Natalia Gurushina STRIKES SPREAD. Miners at five coal pits in the Kemerovo Oblast have joined their colleagues in Tula and Rostov by walking off the job due to wage arrears, ITAR-TASS reported on 16 August. By the end of July, the wage debts in the sector totaled 2 billion rubles ($400,000). It is highly unlikely that the government will be able to pay such a large amount of money by 25 August, the day on which miners plan to strike across the country. Workers at the Leningrad nuclear power plant are threatening to strike unless they are paid their wages for the March-July period, Segodnya reported on 13 August. Meanwhile, the federation leader of the Independent Trade Unions, Andrei Isaev, has announced that Russian trade unions are preparing a joint strike for this fall. He added that workers in all industries are owed a total of 34 trillion rubles in back wages. -- Anna Paretskaya RYAZAN CITY DEPUTY KIDNAPPED. A deputy of the Ryazan city legislature, Aleksandr Nazarov, was kidnapped by four masked men while he was on his way to work on 15 August, Radio Rossii reported the same day. Nazarov's car was stopped by a group of men with machine guns who claimed they were with the tax police. They took him to a nearby forest , where they beat him and threatened to kill him if he did not quit his deputy job. Nazarov remains hospitalized. The Ryazan legislature chairman, Pavel Mamatov, said that many deputies and their families have been threatened. Most local deputies are Communist Party members. -- Anna Paretskaya FORCED HOLIDAYS FOR SATELLITE MANUFACTURER. Some 8,000 workers at the Applied Mechanics Association company (OPM) in Zheleznogorsk (the former Krasnoyarsk-26), which manufactures space satellite communications systems, were sent on forced leave until 1 October, ITAR-TASS reported on 16 August. OPM lacks the money to pay wages and continue production, due to the fact that in 1996 its customers--the Defense Ministry, the Russian Space Agency, and the Moscow--based association Informkosmos--only paid 10% of the money they owed. The company was in part paid with bills of exchange issued by the recently collapsed Tveruniversalbank. -- Natalia Gurushina TRANSCAUCASIA AND CENTRAL ASIA SHEVARDNADZE CLIPS WINGS OF ANTI-SEMITE. Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze reacted indignantly to an anti-Semitic article printed in the paper Noy, Segodnya reported on 15 August. Shevardnadze took the article, which described Jews as "vampires and sadists," to task during his weekly radio address. Western agencies reported that the paper's editor has been charged with inciting hatred, a crime which carries a maximum three-year prison sentence. He has also been fined, and the paper has been suspended from publication. -- Lowell Bezanis DASHNAK ATTEMPTS TO REGISTER. The Armenian Revolutionary Federation, Dashnaktsutyun (ARF), has applied to be registered once again as a political party with the Justice Ministry, Noyan Tapan reported on 14 August. The ARF, Armenia's largest opposition party, was banned in January 1995, following allegations that it had a clandestine wing, known as Dro, which was involved in drug trafficking and political assassinations. The ARF's candidate in the presidential election, Vahan Hovannessyan, has been arrested on charges of organizing a coup and acts of terrorism, according to Noyan Tapan on 15 August. Efforts to demonstrate that the Armenian ARFF is independent of its diaspora strongholds are likely to be met with skepticism in Yerevan and abroad. -- Lowell Bezanis ARMENIAN EMBASSY IN GERMANY UNDER SCRUTINY. Armenian Foreign Minister Vahan Papazian has announced plans to establish a commission that will examine the work of the consular section of Yerevan's embassy in Bonn following allegations raised in the German journal Focus that it was involved in extorting money from Armenians in Germany, ITAR-TASS reported on 15 August. The Armenian ambassador in Germany denied the accusations. -- Lowell Bezanis BELGIAN FIRM BUYS FORMER KAZAKHSTANI STATE ENERGY COMPANY. The Kazakhstani government has sold Almatyenergo, the former state energy company and the main provider of both electricity and heat to Almaty, to the Belgian company Tractebel for $5 million, Kazakhstanskaya pravda reported on 14 August. Tractebel also pledged to boost output by 30% and spend $270 million to upgrade Almatyenergo's several power stations and electricity grid. The government had feared that the indebted and capital-starved Almatyenergo would be unable to provide the capital with electricity and heat during the coming winter. The same day, ITAR-TASS reported that the U.S. company A.E.S. had concluded a similar deal for the Ekibastuz power station. -- Slava Kozlov in Almaty RUSSIA CUTS OFF ENERGY TO NORTHERN KAZAKHSTAN. Citing unpaid bills, Boris Syutkin of Russia's Unified Energy System announced on 15 August that his company has temporarily ceased delivering electricity to certain regions of northern Kazakhstan, ITAR-TASS and Radio Rossii reported the same day. Syutkin said Kazakhstan owes the company $420 million for earlier deliveries. Syutkin also criticized Kazakhstan for failing to fulfill its part of a deal to deliver coal to a Russian power station, claiming that no more than 40% of contacted coal had reached the Troitsk power station this year. Western Kazakhstan will not be cut off as regions in that part of the country have been making regular payments to Russian power stations. -- Bruce Pannier CORRECTION: In an item in OMRI Daily Digest, issue no. 158, vol. 2, Natik Aliev, president of the Azerbaijani oil company SOCAR, was incorrectly identified as President Heidar Aliev's son. Ilham Aliev, vice president of SOCAR is President Aliev's son.

Viscount partners with DMP
VANCOUVER, British Columbia—Viscount Systems, a software company specializing in physical and logical security solutions, announced a product partnership agreement with Digital Monitoring Products (DMP), a manufacturer of electronic alarms and access products.
Viscount and DMP will integrate Viscount's IT-centric access control platform, Freedom, with a number of products from DMP's suite of open architecture alarm management and monitoring technologies.
Both companies plan to cross-sell to their customers in the government, retail, banking and commercial/enterprise vertical markets.
"Viscount's access control solutions are uniquely based on IT infrastructure. Customers who already rely on DMP alarm intrusion products and require HSPD-12 access control operation will benefit greatly from the cost savings and even more comprehensive protection that come from a government-certified access control system. Current customers who have a requirement for operating in an HSPD-12 environment can now integrate the time-tested and approved DMP intrusion solution with the Freedom Access Control system for a superior, cost effective, total security solution," Vince Adams, director of market development, government solutions, DMP, said in a prepared statement.

After the Introduction of Cupboard Potato, and Cupboard Potato's Introduction to Soil, I thought I would bring you the next step in the saga of Cupboard Potato.
As you can see, Cupboard Potato is a VERY happy potato. He and his purple and red friends have gone completely crazy in their pot, I swear they get a few inches taller every day. That pot is finally full to the top with dirt, so now it is time to just let the plants grow, and hopefully in a month or two I will have fresh, delicious potatoes.
The bright orange pot you see behind Cupboard Potato also has potatoes in it (more purple and some Yukon Gold). They are growing just as fast, but they haven't reached the top of their pot yet. I definitely need to buy some more soil and pile it on them in the next couple days.

For everything there is a time. For Africatown, that time seems to be now.
This legendary community north of Mobile and established by the last Africans shipped to America in bondage has been the subject of widespread attention. A hotly rumored delta shipwreck didn't pan out but sparked curiosity, and the recent publication of "Barracoon," Zora Neale Hurston's work on Cudjo Lewis, piqued interest.
The proverbial hot iron means a local project can raise steam of its own. There's less than two weeks' shooting left for local documentarians with their lens trained on the vestiges of Plateau's storied founders.
"The timing was right for Ryan and I, and for our community as well, to connect in a way we haven't been able to do before," producer Joel Billingsley, PhD, said.
A University of South Alabama College of Education instructor and Mobile native — "I have three degrees from South and one from Bishop State" — Billingsley boasts indispensable deep ties. Her family traces to the place in focus.
"Sometime in my first year here I heard the story of Africatown and couldn't believe I hadn't heard it before. The more you know about it, it becomes bigger and broader and more meaningful," director Ryan Noble said.
Five years back, Noble relocated from Arizona to teach video digital production at Spring Hill College. Naturally, he was drawn to a provocative film title — "Mobile in Black and White" — at a downtown venue. Billingsley and then-South Alabama colleague Rob Gray were its producers.
Ryan introduced himself, his documentary roots and his interest in the subject. The producers sprang.
"[Gray] was like 'well, we actually have some stuff for you, editing and some other segments' of 'Mobile in Black and White' and they kind of brought me into the fold," Noble said.
In the following years, Noble collaborated with Billingsley on other work, yet repeatedly brought up Africatown as a possible project. She consistently demurred.
"A little over a year ago we had a conversation and I said 'I need a bigger project.' She said 'that's interesting because I've been thinking about Africatown again,'" Noble said.
"There's a lot of responsibility in telling a story like this," Billingsley said in explaining her long deliberation.
So began "110: The Last Enslaved Africans Brought to America," its working title. Noble said Billingsley pushed him into immediate filming.
They turned to Sylviane Diouf's acclaimed 2007 book "Dreams of Africa in Alabama" as a guide.
"[Diouf is] our key interview. We went and interviewed her in New York. That is very important to the film," Noble said.
Part of that value lies in the conflict between Diouf's exhaustive academic pursuit — classified on Kindle as a textbook — and some oral history. For everyone you ask about the story, variables arise. The spelling of the ship's name, the places the Africans were hidden, when they were released, all change according to who is telling the story.
"Why is there this divergence between documented history and oral history? I don't think it's just that people don't know. I think there's something more to it than that. There's a lot of tension there and it's time we make that apparent and important," Noble said.
The plan is to shop it out to larger film festivals for next spring, to Tribeca, South by Southwest and the like. After that will come regional festivals. Their grant from the Alabama Humanities Foundation stipulates screenings around the state as well.
Spring Hill College is the fiscal agent for the grant's administration. Noble was pleasantly surprised to find social justice "in the blood" of the Jesuit tradition there.
For Billingsley, it's an illumination of her life and legacy. These stories, these names and identities are central to her background.
"It was a custom for my family to gather monthly and hear about the story of the Africans that came over on the Clotilda. It's been a part of my life as long as I can remember," Billingsley said.
That means a key aspect of this film will be its representation by folks within the community. This isn't produced by those from far away, swooping in to draw quick conclusions, then disappearing. These are local voices.
Those voices have questions for everyone willing to hear.
"How is it a child can hear a story of a man and these others who were taken from their home and taken on this journey where throughout that time survival and perseverance and strength were at the center of who they were?" Billingsley asked. "How can we connect to that as a community?"
