(a) for such a period, not exceeding 120 days after the date of the finding by the Agency, as the Agency deems appropriate; and
(b) at such a frequency as the Agency may specify.
Marginal note:Unreasonable fares or rates
66 (1) If, on complaint in writing to the Agency by any person, the Agency finds that a licensee, including affiliated licensees, is the only person providing a domestic service between two points and that a fare, cargo rate or increase in a fare or cargo rate published or offered in respect of the service is unreasonable, the Agency may, by order,
(a) disallow the fare, rate or increase;
(b) direct the licensee to amend its tariff by reducing the fare, rate or increase by the amounts and for the periods that the Agency considers reasonable in the circumstances; or
(c) direct the licensee, if practicable, to refund amounts specified by the Agency, with interest calculated in the prescribed manner, to persons determined by the Agency to have been overcharged by the licensee.
Marginal note:Complaint of inadequate range of fares or rates
(2) If, on complaint in writing to the Agency by any person, the Agency finds that a licensee, including affiliated licensees, is the only person providing a domestic service between two points and that it is offering an inadequate range of fares or cargo rates in respect of that service, the Agency may, by order, direct the licensee, for a period that the Agency considers reasonable in the circumstances, to publish and apply in respect of that service one or more additional fares or cargo rates that the Agency considers reasonable in the circumstances.
Marginal note:Relevant information
(3) When making a finding under subsection (1) or (2) that a fare, cargo rate or increase in a fare or cargo rate published or offered in respect of a domestic service between two points is unreasonable or that a licensee is offering an inadequate range of fares or cargo rates in respect of a domestic service between two points, the Agency may take into consideration any information or factor that it considers relevant, including
(a) historical data respecting fares or cargo rates applicable to domestic services between those two points;
(b) fares or cargo rates applicable to similar domestic services offered by the licensee and one or more other licensees, including terms and conditions related to the fares or cargo rates, the number of seats available at those fares and the cargo capacity and cargo container types available at those rates;
(b.1) the competition from other modes of transportation, if the finding is in respect of a cargo rate, an increase in a cargo rate or a range of cargo rates; and
(c) any other information provided by the licensee, including information that the licensee is required to provide under section 83.
Marginal note:Alternative domestic services
(4) The Agency may find that a licensee is the only person providing a domestic service between two points if every alternative domestic service between those points is, in the Agency's opinion, unreasonable, taking into consideration the number of stops, the number of seats offered, the frequency of service, the flight connections and the total travel time and, more specifically, in the case of cargo, the cargo capacity and cargo container types available.
Marginal note:Alternative service
(4.1) The Agency shall not make an order under subsection (1) or (2) in respect of a licensee found by the Agency to be the only person providing a domestic service between two points if, in the Agency's opinion, there exists another domestic service that is not between the two points but is a reasonable alternative taking into consideration the convenience of access to the service, the number of stops, the number of seats offered, the frequency of service, the flight connections and the total travel time and, more specifically, in the case of cargo, the cargo capacity and cargo container types available.
Marginal note:Consideration of representations
(5) Before making a direction under paragraph (1)(b) or subsection (2), the Agency shall consider any representations that the licensee has made with respect to what is reasonable in the circumstances.
(6) and (7) [Repealed, 2007, c. 19, s. 19]

Experiences to Try in 2022
Cryotherapy Will Put Your Morning Coffee to Shame
Spending 3 Minutes in a -256° F Chamber Will Put Your Morning Coffee to Shame
Get ready to freeze your ass off — like, literally.
By Brian Murray, Jr. Published: Apr 17, 2017
Kayla Ramsey
Even though it's been around almost 40 years, cryotherapy chambers, or cryochambers, have just recently been making waves in the trendy therapy world. In 1978, Dr. Toshima Yamaguchi invented the practice for rheumatoid-arthritis patients to reduce inflammation and soreness.
Cryotherapy is essentially the use of extreme cold in surgery or other medical treatments. The machine that you stand in — for up to three minutes — is like a life-sized Coke can that gets around 250 degrees below zero. It's noninvasive and painless. That is, if you think standing in freezing cold temperatures isn't painful. But as these cryochambers are becoming more common, ice baths are becoming a thing of the past. Stars like Demi Moore, Derek Hough, team members from the New York Knicks, and Mandy Moore are known to have tried it.
The benefits of cryotherapy extend far beyond inflammation and soreness, according to people who frequent it. It improves mental health, smooths wrinkles, speeds up muscle recovery, helps with depression and anxiety, enhances your energy, boosts your immune system, and the list goes on and on. To see what all these celebrities and athletes love so much, I paid a visit to KRYOLiFE, the OG cryotherapy spa in NYC. Side note: This is where Dorinda Medley from The Real Housewives of New York City just went on a recent episode, so I knew I was in good hands.
Having done research on what the process is, I knew I was walking into a chilly experience. KRYOLiFE's owner, Rosa, and two members from her staff, Denise and Peter, were super nice and knowledgable, helping make sure I got the most out of my treatment.
I first had to go in to one of the private changing rooms to strip down to my underwear. In the room is a white robe to cover up, a pair of white tube socks that looked like they were fresh from the package, and clogs. Yes, clogs. Since you can't go barefoot in the machine because any moisture on your body could result in frostbite, the clogs make it easy for clients with various shoe sizes to slip some footwear on and still be comfortable. But let me tell you, this is quite the look.
As I shuffled in my clogs over to the machine that was cooling in preparation for my session, I could see the fog pouring over the top, dissipating as it descended. Peter handed me knit mittens for when I got in, to prevent me from touching the insides of the chamber. Watch out — you can get burned from the liquid nitrogen.
The machine beeped, signaling it was ready at minus 256 degrees Fahrenheit. When Peter opened the door, fog spilled out like we were in the "Thriller" video and MJ was gonna come creepin' out from the corner. I swung my rob off, slipped my mittens on and hopped in.
Rosa was there talking me through it so I understood what my body was going through. The blood vessels in my muscles and skin's surface constricted, which pushed the blood toward my core. Being the body's natural filtration system, the core then worked to remove any inflammation or toxins in the blood. (It better be doing all that for $75 per session.) Luckily, the three minutes of the inconceivably cold temperature zoomed by as I paid close attention to what Rosa was saying.
Was I absolutely freezing? Yes. But it's a different type of cold since I was completely dry with just cold air hitting my body. The coldness starts in your feet — thank God for those tube socks — and works its way up, that by the end of the three minutes, your whole body basically feels like an ice cube. Once my time was up and the door opened, I felt immediate relief from the chill.
Rosa led me to another room where they offer "local therapy," or as I began calling it, "ice facials." There was a massage table that I laid down on as Denise started up the machine that stood next to my head. The machine has a long tube coming out of it like the hose attachment on a vacuum. The same minus-256-degree air blows out of the tube, allowing it to focus on one part of the body — in this case my face. This procedure — lasting six minutes — can be used to focus on areas of injury or inflammation. Rosa mentioned it is also great for hangovers. At $55 a pop, that's a pretty expensive hangover cure, if you ask me.
When we got started, it tickled a little, but was extremely relaxing. Laying down, eyes closed, as Denise waved the wand over my face, I wanted it to last an hour. She continuously waves it around the whole surface in quick movements, making sure it doesn't stay on any area too long. As we got talking during the six minutes, she said that it helps with tightening the skin and will leave you energized with a nice glow. (Yes, please!) She even mentioned she has clients that come in every morning for both the cryochamber and the ice facial. Which, TBH, is what dreams are made of.
When the facial ended, I felt so relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to start my day. It was like a double shot of espresso, but way more luxurious. My body truly did feel a little tighter and toned. One of my co-workers even mentioned that my face looked like it had a natural glow. But one could only be so lucky to have cryotherapy as part of their daily routine. I guess I'll just stick with my $4 Starbucks iced coffee to get me going.

More urgent issues than nice paving in Grafton Street Quarter
September 24, 2014 Cian Ginty Comment & Analysis 6
Pictured above is Dublin City Council's vision for Drury Street in the city centre. Nice, isn't it? Until you read the document its from, the Grafton Street Quarter Public Realm Plan. Back when it was published we wrote how the plans confirms that Dublin City Council is still living in fear of disrupting the car.
While the above artist's impression image shows what seems to be a people-friendly pedestrian street. None of the notable streets in the quarter will see any motor traffic restrictions. No new pedestrian streets. No bicycle streets planned yet. No contra-flow of any kind.
So, the current situation on the parallel South William Street is likely to be replicated:
The above looks nice too! But when it's this empty of cars many are prone to speeding and the following is more typical:
While the centre of South William Street has some paving improvements, made to it years go (pictured above), the street is one of the most important streets in the area yet the conditions are poor for people on foot, in wheelchairs, pushing prams, and on or pushing bicycles.
Like other streets in the area, South William Street is also often deceptively small. While there is a pinch point on the street, here's a more typical view of its true width:
Look at it with a little less cars parked and it looks even wider — even if you want to keep motor traffic, there's still loads of room for wider footpaths and a contra-flow cycle lane/path:
Where there's nice paving the street is often blocked up with illegally parked cars — there's no parking allowed to the right and left of the Jeep pictured driving down this section of the street:
Car parking causes a lot of the street's problem and takes up most of its space, but poor placement of traffic signs on tiny footpaths leads to a good few places where bicycles are often parked obstructively, like this:
Barriers around seating areas both adds to the narrow reality of footpath and the narrow perception of the street:
If the council are really planning to remove the on-street car parking as part of the paving plan, why don't they do it now? Follow New York City's example with Times Square — make the street changes first and go back a finalise the design and finishings later.
What's stopping them? The street is in a mess, both visually and for access.
There's far more urgent issues than paving on these streets which have overcrowded footpaths that are a poor environment for wheelchair users and families with prams:
Trust me, pushing a buggy on the street is bad. I would not like to be a wheelchair user on the street:
Bollards sadly are needed to control parking, but here the footpath could be nearly twice as wide if the roadway was not needlessly about the width of two cars or more:
Another example of this, with parking also taking up space, leaving narrow footpaths on both sides:
The layout of bins, signs, seating is also an issue and it looks a mess:
At the north end of the street the junction turn looks like it was designed to take at least a few articulated trucks ever hour — large trucks should not be on these streets daily and curve is way too wide:
Here's the same corner from a bit further back:
Note: There is more space around the corner for that seating on the left to be relocated — you could move the seating, keep a traffic lane, put in a contra-flow cycle lane and still have space for wider footpaths. The city just needs to be willing to remove parking and better loading areas for shops and food outlets:
The junctions seem to be designed to allow for space for two cars side-by-side:
Another example:
But no matter what you design, enforcement will still be needed:
We sadly expect business as usual. Will anybody be willing to surprise us?
Why is Dublin City so adverse to contra-flow cycling? Why can't we have wider footpaths before the paving? Why can't there be access for wheelchairs and prams?
Kevin O'Farrell September 24, 2014 at 12:30 pm
Spot on with this piece. All on street parking shoud be removed ASAP, with the exception of strategically placed loading bays and disabled spaces. All car parks on the area shoud be increased to €5 per hour without exception. On top of that whole levels of all car parks should be converted to bicycle with ample room for cargo bikes too. The same needs to happen to the Henry Street area. Why shoud the least efficient transport mode for urban environments get such an unproportionate amount of space ? Dublin needs to see the movement of people over the movement traffic as the priority.
Sam September 24, 2014 at 1:16 pm
Now that you mention it, I'm guessing that the layout of these streets were never altered substantially when they were changed from two-way to one-way. The outrageously narrow footpaths probably date back to when there were lower volumes of traffic that was slower-moving. It's so very disheartening to see that the council wont take the opportunity to rectify this, let alone even recognise it as a serious problem when redesigning the public realm.
Why should these streets and all their users suffer just because BT and the like want their customers to do drive-thru shopping?
John Murphy September 24, 2014 at 7:48 pm
Nice one Cian. You have very neatly summed up a problem that is replicated across the city and further afield. Unfortunately, those that are spending our hard earned tax euros couldn't care less about what the public wants or needs. I used to believe that the Councils were well intentioned, but lacked the knowledge how to deliver. Now I believe they really don't give a damn. The only thing they are interested in is their own agenda and God only knows what that is!

Cian another issue to raise is that some of us contributed to The Grafton Street Quarter public consultation process and our suggestions were essentially ignored. I helped draft the Dublin Cycling Campaign submission: http://www.dublincycling.ie/cycling/submission-grafton-street-quarter-draft-public-realm-plan
These streets are located in that public realm.
One issue that I have blogged about this week on my Facebook page is the number of different waste contractors' HGVs plying to empty wheelie-bins and sacks on these same streets. This is a madcap policy decision that puts both pedestrians and cyclists at enhanced risk of being crushed by a HGV in such narrow spaces. Far too many different waste contractors are servicing this Quarter.
One contractor should be given the contract to service such a congested area and the collection period should be set down in the contract!
We should be querying what vehicle types should be permitted access to this Quarter.
The 'high-end' retailers should not be dictating city policy.

Excellent piece.

IS LONDON NO LONGER BEST IN CLASS FOR BUSINESS?
Keith Tilley, EVP, Global Sales & Customer Services Management at Sungard Availability Services
Location, location, location; geography has always been an important factor for businesses, indeed choosing the right spot can be the difference between success and failure. The right environment can place organisations in the best possible position to serve their customers, expand their reach, add to the bottom line, and literally ensure they are in the right place at the right time!
So, what exactly does it take to make a city business ready? Our recent study, analysed a range of government and third party data to rank 10 major UK cites against a range of factors[1]. The results threw up a number of surprises. For a start, Cambridge was named 'best UK city for business', closely followed by Oxford and Brighton. But what about London?
Is the Capital losing its grip?
London has long stood as not only the symbolic centre of our country but the epicentre for all things business and finance related. So it comes as something of a shock that the capital failed to make it into the top 3 'Best Cities for Business'. However, a deeper look into the research brings the results into painful clarity. Who, for example, is surprised to hear that London office rent prices are the highest in the country? Or that employment rate is low in comparison to other cities? Arguably the most troubling finding for the capital relates to start-up survival rate. Despite being hailed as a hub for new businesses, the UK capital could only manage ninth place. A combination of the aforementioned factors, plus the high concentration of already established businesses is clearly hampering start-up survival chances.
Rise of the 'Northern Powerhouse'
While southern cities still dominate the overall rankings list, the findings highlight a number of areas in which the North is flourishing. For example, York came out on top for start-up survival rate, helped by schemes such as the Whyte Knight Fund, which gives organisations the financial help and support that they need to establish themselves in the market. With so many start-ups vying for business, it could be argued that the North inspires and helps nurture the sort of entrepreneurial spirit that finds it difficult to survive in the capital.
Flying the flag further for the 'Northern Powerhouse', Leeds was also placed highly, ranking number one when it comes to access to graduate talent. With this thriving start-up culture in the North, cheaper rent and lower crime rates, the region is well placed to attract skilled workers. And, in an environment where access to the right skills is still a challenge, the North is putting itself at an advantage.
For tech, London remains 'Top Dog'
Despite the great start-up culture, both Leeds and York subsequently took the bottom two places when it came to average internet download speed. Having access to a fast and reliable internet connection is extremely important to all businesses – especially now that every organisation is expected to be 'digital by default'. Although clearly not holding these cities back, this could be an issue that will need to be addressed if the North wishes to fully establish itself as a tech hub, or to compare with the more favourably endowed regions of the UK. Both Northern cities ranked low when it came to their ability to combat cyber security issues.
It is in this space that London comes into its own, with the capital emerging as the most resilient location when it came to combating cyber security breaches. With Silicon Roundabout hosting almost eight times as many tech firms as anywhere else in the UK, it seems that London is still making good use of its technology talent. It would appear that London's technology expertise has not gone unnoticed, with a new survey from EY dubbing London as "the second most likely city in the world to create the next big tech giant".
Ultimately, it seems that there is no such thing as the perfect location for business, with the findings showing room for improvement and investment in some area for every region in the UK. With the complex IT landscape facing UK businesses today, it is unrealistic to expect one region to excel on all fronts. In order to succeed businesses should seek to work with experienced partners to help them identify and plug any gaps they may have. No matter the city in which they might be based.
[1] The ten cities chosen were those that had all of the metric data available. These ten cities were then analysed and ranked based on each of the following categories: Crime rate, Graduate talent, Employment rate, Average office price (sq. ft.), Start-up survival rate, Average download speed, Cyber security breaches, Top occupational group, Population density, Graduate population

Q: Force specific file to run in an older version of PHP I have a website running PHP8, however one of the libraries I (must) use don't have a compatible version for PHP8. Is it possible to force a specific file to run as PHP7, or do I need to run another instance of the site on PHP7 (e.g. php7.mysite.com/script.php).
I am trying to avoid splitting the site, but the time it'll take to port it to PHP8 would probably not worth it.
I thought maybe I can do it with htaccess or the apache configuration and force a specific directory to run PHP7 (binary, fpm, etc.)
Thank you!

Place first seven ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic and salt; drizzle over salad. Add tuna and toss gently to combine.
Kalamata olives, though stronger in flavor, would be a good substitute for Nicoise olives.
Extra virgin olive oil adds a subtle fruity flavor to the dressing, but plain olive oil could be used instead.

A little over a year ago A Fashionable Stitch announced The Shirt & Wrap Dress Sewalong to make Simplicity 1880. My little stitching heart wanted nothing more than to "Sew-Along" however at the time I was literally moving all my earthly possessions 500 miles across the United States. Needless to say the outcomes of the sew-along were exceptional and inspired the desire to push the pattern to my must construct list...finally.
For my money this pattern is all it was hyped up to be in sew-along and then some. It was fairly quick to sew, I did not run into any issues with the pieces and the fit was pretty spot on. I made my shirt dress in a grey polka dot printed black poly chiffon. It was fairly sheer so I fully lined the dress in a burgundy lining. I also used scrap grey cotton at the front and back yoke for some added interest.
I love the dress, it is summer weight and full of retro flair.
And like most Project Runway patterns I could not make just one version. In May I wore my wrap dress version but never blogged about it.
My mock wrap version is just as cute as the shirt dress. I made it in a lace printed rayon. My only complaint is that my print was askew on the front wrap.
Next time I will promise to take my time laying and cutting my pattern. And there very well could be another shirt or wrap dress, there are 4 additional variations in this pattern!
Very pretty dresses! Sounds like a great and versatile pattern.

DreamCam: The first true VR livecam service
Technological innovation is and has always been at the heart of the adult industry. Customers want the absolute best quality available to them, with no lag and near-instantaneous streaming.
New experiences go hand-in-hand with the march of tech, pushing forward with more rigour than alternative industries. VR is the next step in the evolution, as adults pursue greater immersion into their content as well. The demand is growing quickly; by the year 2025, the adult VR market is expected to reach $1.4bn, according to Loup Ventures.
For many years, the barrier was adequate tech to support the desires. Streaming 4K VR at 60 frames-per-second (FPS) is a huge challenge, considering the amount of data required to deliver the services. Unlike pre-recorded material, here the content also needs to be delivered live with the model. As customers wanted these services, the market required a high-quality solution.
That is where DreamCam comes in. DreamCam is a global innovator in VR live broadcasts and VR applications, working with partners to deliver immersive content.
The result is seeing and interacting with models, like as though you are in the room. The company already works with SexLikeReal, xHamsterLive, and StripChat to provide its services across the board, working as the very first VR livecam service in the world.
DreamCam offers several services, including a white-label branding solution, for partners who want personalisation and to push their own branding. For users, features include interactive peer-to-peer private sessions, activated with voice chat that is delivered near-simultaneously with participating models. It is available across all major VR platforms, including Oculus, HTC, Gear, and Daydream. Most importantly, DreamCam provides VR livestreams that run in 4K and 60fps, delivering the best quality in the industry.
The service is a powerful solution for livecam portals and VR adult sites, offering a range of services that broaden monetisation options.


Chernobyl, a place replete with horrific memories in northern Ukraine, close to Belarus, is now open to tourists, almost 30 years to the date after a nuclear power plant there exploded. It was the worst nuclear accident in human history.
A large tract of land around the plant was designated a forbidden zone and ordinary people were completely prohibited from entering after the disaster occurred on April 26, 1986. The accident released more than 8 tons of radioactive leaks, directly contaminated an area of over 60,000 square kilometers and exposed some 3.2 million people to dangerous levels of radiation.
But, today, 30 years after the catastrophe, ordinary people in Ukraine are allowed to enter some parts of the zone under certain conditions through tour companies for a one-day tour.
Despite that, authorities strictly restrict the number of tourists in the zone and require tour agencies to submit lists of tourists very day. A Xinhua correspondent saw merely 20 or 30 tourists in the zone on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, visitors participating in such tours have to sign a special agreement, promising not to take away anything from the zone, to strictly follow the instructions of the tour guides, and to only take photos in designated areas.
Also, tourists are required to wear long clothes to minimize the exposure of their skin, and they are not allowed to wear sandals or bare their feet because the soil in the zone is seriously contaminated.
A tour guide who called himself Andrew said that this was an adventure tour program, but tourists would be very disappointed if they thought they would chance upon some rare monsters born there after the radioactive disaster.
However, Andrew said that the number of applications to visit the zone has been rising since the beginning of 2015. Recently it has been very hard to get a ticket as the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster is approaching.
The Xinhua correspondent saw a large tract of forest around the ruined nuclear power plant, and some wild horses and deer. Andrew said that those animals had been there before the nuclear accident happened.
As for the forest, Andrew said that there are also a lot of forests in other places in Ukraine and that the forest area in the country has not been reduced by the disaster.
Nuclear radiation is known to kill animals and human beings in a very short time, and many abnormal newborns of human beings and animals in the disaster area have been reported.
But Andrew denied some media reports that there were mass propagations of animals or rampages of monsters in the forbidden zone.
Tourists can use bread crumbs to feed fish from an iron bridge in the zone. Although fishing is banned in the zone, feeding fish is allowed as part of the tour program to entertain tourists.
Pripyat, a city near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, was built for the plant's workers and opened in 1970 after the nuclear power plant was put into operation.
Now, the former energy city has become a "ghost town," with trees and grass growing wildly everywhere, even inside the ruined shops, cultural center, restaurants and hotels.
In the center of the city, a rusty ferris wheel still stands in a cultural park. A football stadium, beside the park, has turned into woods, with wooden chairs rotting on the stands. In a school, dusty and shabby desks and stools were everywhere, and textbooks, stationery and glass shards were scattered on the ground.
Some members of rescue teams had stayed in the city during the first ten years after the accident took place. They worked to contain the pollution and clean the contaminated soil.
On a square in front of the No. 4 reactor of the plant stands a sculpture, reminding people to pay close attention to the peaceful use of nuclear energy as well as its safety.
After the horrific events in Chernobyl, researchers in countries around the world have become more vigilant. Now, the security of some 400 nuclear power plants around the world has greatly improved, with safer ones being successively put into operation.

With the evolving needs of today's fast-paced organizations many employees may need to purchase outside of their corporate-approved channels due to the lack of search results from their hosted procurement catalogs. This can result in non-compliant spending outside of corporate-approved channels and reduced spend visibility.
Recognizing this challenge, Amazon Business has worked closely with leading cloud-based spend management provider Coupa to create Coupa Open Buy with Amazon Business. Earlier this year, Coupa and Amazon Business introduced Coupa Open Buy to give Coupa customers visibility and instant access to millions of items beyond the purchasing catalogs managed by their employer. With this easy-to-implement service, Coupa customers in business, higher education and the public sector can browse Amazon Business directly from the search bar at the top of the Coupa interface. Coupa Open Buy is now generally available to Coupa customers.
With a seamless, intuitive purchasing experience and access to Amazon's vast selection, Coupa customers benefit from the Amazon Business e-commerce expertise and gain visibility into full product catalogs on an established multi-seller marketplace, which helps eliminate the need to manage individual catalogs, improves compliance and reduces total costs. Organizational budgets and spending controls are automatically applied, and approval workflows can be configured to monitor compliance with procurement guidelines. Coupa reporting tools can also be used to analyze Amazon Business purchases along with other suppliers.
Thanks to greatly expanded product access with Coupa Open Buy, employees can make purchases independently, and one-time purchases can be made without the need to interface with accounts payable or purchasing employees.

Stanislaw "Stani" Fraczyk (* 2. Dezember 1952 in Łódź) ist ein polnisch-österreichischer Tischtennisspieler, der bei den Sommer-Paralympics 1996 und 2004 jeweils die Goldmedaille in der Klasse 9 holte.

Leben
Der gebürtige Pole hat von Geburt an aufgrund einer Polioerkrankung ein um fünf Zentimeter kürzeres Bein. Obwohl ihm aufgrund der Behinderung die Schnelligkeit und die Stabilität im rechten Bein fehlte, gehörte er von Anfang an mit seinem Bruder Zbigniew zu den besten Tischtennisspielern. Mit 28 Jahren kam er 1980 nach Österreich und spielte von Anfang an beim UTTC Stockerau Bundesliga. Er war hauptberuflich Beamter, hat sich eine Sportagentur aufgebaut und spielte bis vor wenigen Jahren erfolgreich mit Stockerau Bundesliga und Superliga.

2013 wurde ihm zu Ehren die Tischtennishalle im Sportzentrum Alte Au in Stockerau "Stani Fraczyk Arena" benannt.

Privates
Stanislaw Fraczyk lebt gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Jolanta in Stockerau.

It sounds like you will need a new battery. Why screw around with something that could hurt you or most likely some of your clothes, jeans, jackets, etc. It isnt worth the hassle. It that was a reasonable cure, everyone would be doing it.

Shortall urges end to cross-subsidies for private hospital practices
Sláintecare proposals: Move would offset loss of nearly €650m in annual income, says TD

Abolishing cross-subsidisation of private practice in public hospitals would offset the loss of nearly €650 million in income from fee-paying patients, Róisín Shortall has said.
The Social Democrats TD and key author of the Sláintecare reforms said the existing hybrid system in public hospitals permitted doctors to use publicly-funded facilities, ancillary staff and diagnostics to treat their private patients.
In a submission to the new Government-appointed group set up to examine the impact of the separation of private practice from the public hospital system, Ms Shortall said there was "a near total absence of transparency regarding the level of cross-subsidisation from public funds to doctors and senior managers in publicly-funded hospitals, to the health insurance firms that place their clients in those hospitals, and to the supposedly separate private clinics which many voluntary hospitals operate alongside their State-sponsored operations".
"It is impossible to establish whether we are getting value for money from our public hospital beds, for example, or from our publicly- funded equipment, our consultants or other healthcare staff," she said. "Without a clear line of sight of resources, transparent data and effective information systems, it is not possible to establish accountability at either administrative or clinical level."
In a separate submission to the expert group last week the Irish Hospital Consultants Association argued that the Sláintecare report massively under-estimated the cost of implementing its proposals.
It contended that the proposal to remove private practice income from public hospitals would cost in the region of €8 billion per decade when adjusted for inflation or about €800 million per year.
The Sláintecare report said a fund would have to be established to replace the €649million (2016 figure) private patient income in public hospitals between year two and six of the overall ten-year reform plan.
Ms Shortall, who chaired the Oireachtas committee which drew up the Sláintecare proposals, said in her submission to the expert committee that "the significant savings arising from the ending of this cross subsidisation would go a considerable way towards offsetting the loss of private patient income of €649 million referred to earlier".
Ms Shortall said the Sláintecare report had been very specific about what the remit of the new expert committee should be.
"While separating public and private care in public hospitals will have various impacts on different aspects of general healthcare provision and what can be termed the healthcare commercial market, the committee specified that it is the impact on 'the public system' which must be assessed and not the potential impact on commercial interests. I believe that this is a critical point which reflects the determination of the committee that the objective of the reform programme is a fully functioning public healthcare system ."
Ms Shortall said the mix in the current hospital system of private incentive and public interest created "an ungovernable and unaccountable twilight zone, where State-paid senior doctors are richly rewarded for pushing their private patients to the head of the queue for treatment. Inevitably, public patients pay the price for this and must wait even longer to access consultant care".
She said that while HSE figures nationally showed the agreed 80:20 public:private ratio was being met, this masked the fact that the target is only being achieved because some hospitals preformed exceptionally well in treating public patients and carry out very little private work.
"However, a sizeable number of regional hospitals are significantly off target and this is having an impact on public patients."
She described as "flimsy self-regulation" the system of clinical directors set up, in part, to police the working hours of consultants in public hospitals. She said there was little evidence that this arrangement had worked.

For Points-Based-System visas, appeals can only be made on human rights grounds. This is provided for in the Immigration Rules which state than a human rights appeal can be made where:
the Appellant's removal from the country would be contrary to the Refugee Convention
the Appellant's removal would be contrary to the UK's obligations in relation to humanitarian protection
the Appellant's removal would be contrary to his or her rights under the European Convention on Human Rights
the Appellant's protection status or British Citizenship has been revoked
At the moment, EEA nationals and their family members have a right to appeal a decision by an immigration officer which breaches an EU citizens EU Treaty rights. A Pre-settled Status and Settled Status refusal also carries a right of appeal.
Following the decision of R (Kiarie) v Secretary of State for the Home Department; R (Byndloss) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2017] UKSC 42, which ruled the Home Office's policy to make migrants leave the country before they could appeal a refusal, breached Article 8 of the ECHR, it is possible to appeal whilst you are in the UK. However, it is vital that you talk to our immigration lawyers if your leave to remain has been refused. We will fight tenaciously to ensure you are able to remain in the country throughout the course of your immigration appeal.
A significant amount of appeals brought to the Immigration Tribunal succeed. Lusine and her team have the intelligence, experience, and litigation tactics required to prepare a strong appeal case on your behalf.

i love this game xD can't wait for the remake and the sequel - i hope they come out soon.
do you post progress videos on youtube (like yandere dev and others), or just a blog post now and then?
Even if the game is a bit hard, i love it! The music and the visuals are fantastic, fun puzzles and the robot part had a cool creepy vibe.
Love the story and the music in the game especially and the subtle mix of puzzle and action from near the beginning (the first boss fight is a great example of this). Haven't finished it yet but it is definitely on my short to do list.

Last week EngageSportMode was tasked with reviewing the brand-new Mazda CX-3 crossover for Motoring Research. Helpfully, the UK launch was taking place pretty much in our own back yard!
So, did we fall for the sporty supermini-sized crossover? Did the sun actually shine in the North East? Well, you'll have to head on over to Motoring Research and find out the answers.
We were proud to be asked to attend on behalf of Motoring Research; it was a great experience and an excellent showcase for the scenery – and driving roads – we have on offer up here in the frozen North.
