The young arbitrators' groups from the ICC International Court of Arbitration (ICC Young Arbitrators Forum), the Comité Français de l'Arbitrage (CFA-40) and the Paris Very Young Arbitration Practitioners held a joint networking event on the evening of the 12 April 2018 to conclude Paris Arbitration Week.
A joint social event by ICC YAF, CFA40 and PVYAP saw the young arbitration community in Paris come together for an exceptional evening of networking on a cruise boat along the Seine.
The pub closed due to an unsustainable rent review. After three years' through courts and 'industry expert' hands and arbitration rent went up in 2008 from £54K to £65K against the rise to £96K that S&NPC were after, saying they believed the pub 'could comfortably afford that increase' if it were managed by 'a reasonably competent operator'. The wisdom of the Arbitrator led to ONLY a 20% increase as the world went into financial meltdown and left us owing the pubco an immediately payable bill for back rent and legal fees of £165K.
This whole shambles is typical of what is rolling out against pubs all over the UK as Pub Companies raise rents and beer prices so they can pay off gargantuan debts they raised against their 'assets and future income' (£billions) in acts of Private Equity greed identical to banks' disgraceful behaviour. Here's CAMRA's video about the big pubcos and the beer tie which leads to pub closures all over the UK: bit.ly/RWoBQu

The market for agricultural products in Vienna, in short, Commodity Exchange, is a in 1869 founded produce exchange, without time bargain. It is located since 1890 in a 1887-1890 specifically created building in Tabor street in Vienna's Leopoldstadt.
During National Socialism in Austria (1938-1945) as well as because of market organisation act, from 1949 to 1994 the stock market possessed no power. With Austria's EU accession in 1995 the stock market was reactivated and resumed the function of the finding of the target price (Richtpreisfindung) for the Austrian market by the major market participants. Stock exchange listings are taking place on a weekly basis.
In addition, the Vienna Commodity Exchange has a tribunal that is responsible for all members and trading partners in the event of disputes.
History
Since 1812, the grain trade is a free business in Austria, therefore, therefore, corn a commodity. With the development of trade in 1853 arose the Viennese fruit and flour stock exchange. This was for the moment subordinated under the Vienna Magistrate and was only on 24 June 1869 independent. This was the birth year of the Vienna Commodity Exchange. Whose trade for the moment took place in the café Commodity Exchanges in Vienna's Leopoldstadt (2nd district). With the increase of trading volume and the trading participants, the construction of a separate stock exchange building was decided. The contract for this got in 1887 the architect Karl König, who built the Stock Exchange building in Tabor street, near the café in the Neo-Renaissance style. The completion and the start of trading took place on 23 August, 1890. In Latin letters the motto of the stock market was walled in: in usum negotiatorum cuiuscumque Nationis ac linguae ("the merchants of all nations and all languages dedicated").
Until the First World War, the Stock Exchange was the most important market for agricultural products of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. After its demise, and the years of inflation, stock exchange trading experienced a large decline, of which the stock market not recovered until the mid-20s.
In 1938, after the annexation of Austria to Germany, the stock market was closed. During the Second World War, the stock market was hit in air raids on Vienna, the trading hall burned down . After the war was began with the rebuilding. On 10 November 1948 followed the reconstitution of the Stock Exchange Chamber and on Wednesday, the 29th July 1949, the first stock exchange meeting was held in Taborstraße in the repaired stock exchange building. The stock market was now, however, because of market regulation law determining the fixing of prices by the social partnership largely meaningless. It merely served as a weekly meeting place of key market participants. From the 1980s on, the great hall was used by the Odeon Theatre.
With the accession of Austria to the EU market in 1995, the Market Organsation Act had to be abrogated. The Commodity Exchange sat together again and took up again its function as place of target price finding of the key market participants.
The Vienna Commodity Exchange was decisively involved in the making of a unified Italian-Austrian-German model agreement for the grain trade.
Stock exchange dealing
Merchandises
Actual trading does not take place at the Produce Exchange. However, there are business transactions from a certain minium dimension for the purpose of target price finding of the traded commodities - depending on traded good, differently high, as a rule, not less than 100 tons - recorded. The exchange traffic includes substantially all in the region grown agricultural raw materials and semi-finished products which are used for human and animal consumption. Excluded from the exchange traffic are forestry products, spices, herbs as well as raw materials serving for the production of fabrics and spun yarns, such as jute. Also excluded are almost all "colonial goods", ie sugar, coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa, and the like.
Trade practices
As binding basis of the in business occurring terms, business conditions, deadlines, settlement procedures and trade practices are serving the practices of the stock exchange for agricultural products Vienna. They should prevent misunderstandings and misinterpretations and thus facilitate domestic and international trade.
In addition, special provisions specify what requirements quality or brand denominations must fulfill - such as, "quality" or "Premium Wheat".
Quotation
The quotations occure on the basis of actual having taken place trade, hence, without contracts such as options and futures, which are not traded in Vienna, once a week on Wednesday at 13.30 clock. For assessment used are only large trades from a certain minimum quantity at wholesale price. Fixed are the prices ultimately by the Price Determination Commission, which is under the supervision of the Exchange Commissioner. The publication of the prices takes place in the official list.

The other four may belong to other professional groups participating in the exchange market. A further condition on the 30 trading councils is, that at least half of them reside in Vienna.

This is not bound by procedural requirements of the ordinary courts, and therefore against judgments of the tribunal also can not be appealed. The procedures usually last less than a month and the sayings of the tribunal on the Vienna Stock Exchange are, in contrast to many other European stock exchanges, immediately enforceable executory titles.

Acrocorinth (Greek: Ακροκόρινθος), "Upper Corinth", the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. "It is the most impressive of the acropoleis of mainland Greece," in the estimation of George Forrest.[1] Acrocorinth was continuously occupied from archaic times to the early 19th century. The city's archaic acropolis, already an easily defensible position due to its geomorphology, was further heavily fortified during the Byzantine Empire as it became the seat of the strategos of the thema of Hellas and later of the Peloponnese. It was defended against the Crusaders for three years by Leo Sgouros.
Afterwards it became a fortress of the Frankish Principality of Achaea, the Venetians and the Ottoman Turks.[clarification needed] With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was used as the last line of defense in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry into the Peloponnese peninsula. Three circuit walls formed the man-made defense of the hill. The highest peak on the site was home to a temple to Aphrodite which was converted to a church, and then became a mosque. The American School's Corinth Excavations began excavations on it in 1929. Currently, Acrocorinth is one of the most important medieval castle sites of Greece.
In a Corinthian myth related in the 2nd century CE to Pausanias, Briareus, one of the Hecatonchires, was the arbitrator in a dispute between Poseidon and Helios, between the sea and the sun: his verdict was that the Isthmus of Corinth belonged to Poseidon and the acropolis of Corinth (Acrocorinth) to Helios.[2][3]
The Upper Pirene spring is located within the encircling walls. "The spring, which is behind the temple, they say was the gift of Asopus to Sisyphus. The latter knew, so runs the legend, that Zeus had ravished Aegina, the daughter of Asopus, but refused to give information to the seeker before he had a spring given him on the Acrocorinthus
The name Doran is derived from O'Deoradhain/O'Deorain/O'Deoran, originally from deoradh meaning exile.
William O'Deorain (Doran) was Ollav of Leinster in judicature (the chief professor of the Brehon law) to the Mac Murrough Kings of Leinster and, according to the 17th century Keating's History of Ireland, the O'Dorans had extensive possessions.
Despite the Roman and subsequently British descriptions of the Celts as lawless barbarians, the Celts owned the oldest and perhaps most humane collection of laws in Europe, known as the Brehon Law. It is believed that the Brehon Law, which derived its name from the Gaelic word breitheamh, meaning judge or arbitrator, originates from 2000 BC.
In order to maintain unity and equality of rights throughout Ireland or to tackle complex cases Tuath (King) Ollamh Fodhla (reigned between 1317 - 1277BC) introduced the Feis Teamhrach, or Great Fair. The Feis Teamhrach was a triennial conference held from a very early period to the end of the sixth century at the Hill of Tara known as Temair in gaeilge. This was once the ancient seat of power in Ireland – 142 kings are said to have reigned there in prehistoric and historic times. In ancient Irish religion and mythology Temair was the sacred place of dwelling for the gods, and was the entrance to the otherworld. Saint Patrick is said to have come to Tara to confront the ancient religion of the pagans at its most powerful site.
The verified records were inserted into the Psalter of Tara, which also contained full details of the boundaries of provinces, districts, and small divisions of land throughout Ireland. In the book of Nachongbhail it says "judging by the few fragments of the Psalter of Tara which have come down to us we affirm that they were the work of a most high civilization" (1300 years before the Christian era).
Saint Patrick and a commission of nine wise men started to collect the BrehonLaw in 438 AD. Laws that were consistent with Christianity were written down in the Senchus Mr, a manuscript which is lost in history, which formed the legal foundation of the Irish community until the British introduced their laws after the Anglo-Norman Invasion (1169 AD).
After the arrival of the Anglo-Normans, the Leix (Laois) County was divided among seven Septs or Clans: O'Moore, O'Kelly, O'Deevy, O'Doran, O'Lalor, O'Dowling and McEvoy.
From the main Sept in Leix came Maurice O'Doran, the Bishop of Leighlin, who was murdered in 1523 by his archdeacon, one of the Kavanaghs.
The O'Dorans were also traditional Antiquarians. They kept in their possession for generations, from the late fourteenth to early sixteenth century, one of the three manuscript copies of the 'Tripartite Life of Saint Patrick', a three-book account (in Irish and Latin) of the Saint’s life and travels throughout Ireland.
The English accused the O'Dorans of "succouring rebellious plunderers in their judicial (Brehon) capacity". However, a generation later, they were so learned and influential that they were consulted by the English Lord Deputy on a question of government administration.
At the time of the Tudor conquest of Ireland in the sixteenth century, some important Brehon families supported administrative reforms within the Gaelic Lordships, in accordance with crown demands. It is assumed that the O'Dorans did not give in to the demands and they were scattered from their territory in Leix, and transplanted in Co. Kerry, with some settling in County Wexford. In 1540, the O'Doran Chiefs were seated at Chappell in Co. Wexford, and in 1608 they were listed among the principal gentlemen of that County, where there is now a place called Doransland at Kilmuckridge.
In 1659 the name Doran was found in Co. Wexford, Co. Meath and Co. Kildare. In the 1890 birth index Doran is found in Dublin, Co. Wexford, Co. Down and Co. Armagh.
In the 1901 and 1911 Censuses, Dorans were listed in Kilmessan, Co. Meath, the nearest village to the Hill of Tara, the seat of the ancient Irish Monarchies and where Brehon laws were administered in the Royal Grove, an Iron Age hill fort of almost 1000 metres in circumference.

It merely served as a weekly meeting place of key market participants. From the 1980s on, the great hall was used by the Odeon Theatre.
With the accession of Austria to the EU market in 1995, the Market Organsation Act had to be abrogated. The Commodity Exchange sat together again and took up again its function as place of target price finding of the key market participants.
The Vienna Commodity Exchange was decisively involved in the making of a unified Italian-Austrian-German model agreement for the grain trade.
Stock exchange dealing
Merchandises
Actual trading does not take place at the Produce Exchange. However, there are business transactions from a certain minium dimension for the purpose of target price finding of the traded commodities - depending on traded good, differently high, as a rule, not less than 100 tons - recorded. The exchange traffic includes substantially all in the region grown agricultural raw materials and semi-finished products which are used for human and animal consumption. Excluded from the exchange traffic are forestry products, spices, herbs as well as raw materials serving for the production of fabrics and spun yarns, such as jute. Also excluded are almost all "colonial goods", ie sugar, coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa, and the like.
Trade practices
As binding basis of the in business occurring terms, business conditions, deadlines, settlement procedures and trade practices are serving the practices of the stock exchange for agricultural products Vienna. They should prevent misunderstandings and misinterpretations and thus facilitate domestic and international trade.
In addition, special provisions specify what requirements quality or brand denominations must fulfill - such as, "quality" or "Premium Wheat".
Quotation
The quotations occure on the basis of actual having taken place trade, hence, without contracts such as options and futures, which are not traded in Vienna, once a week on Wednesday at 13.30 clock. For assessment used are only large trades from a certain minimum quantity at wholesale price. Fixed are the prices ultimately by the Price Determination Commission, which is under the supervision of the Exchange Commissioner. The publication of the prices takes place in the official list.
Organs
Exchange Chamber
The management of the stock exchange for agricultural products behooves the chamber of the market for agricultural products in Vienna. This is composed of 30 stock exchange councilors called members, who are elected or appointed for a term of four years. They are appointed in equal numbers by the Ministry of Agriculture from by the Austrian Chambers of Agriculture proposed persons. More, in all, three members are appointed by the Chambers of Agriculture of Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland. The remaining 17 members are elected by the stock exchange members six of which must be coming from the milling industry or the milling craft, one from the flour processing industry or sector, six from the grain trade. The other four may belong to other professional groups participating in the exchange market. A further condition on the 30 trading councils is, that at least half of them reside in Vienna.
Out of the stock exchange councils, as well for four years are elected a governing body, the executive of the stock exchange plus the chairman of the stock exchange with his three vice-presidents and the treasurer.
As supervising organ acts the commissioner of the stock exchange with his two deputies, which are provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Economy.
Also appointed by the stock exchange chamber are the four-member panel of arbitrators and the three-member college of experts.

Arbitration
Members of the Exchange are legally bound by the trade practices. These fixe also the recognition of the Arbitration Court of the Vienna Stock Exchange for agricultural products as competent tribunal in the event of disputes or disagreements. This is not bound by procedural requirements of the ordinary courts, and therefore against judgments of the tribunal also can not be appealed. The procedures usually last less than a month and the sayings of the tribunal on the Vienna Stock Exchange are, in contrast to many other European stock exchanges, immediately enforceable executory titles.

On the prison world of Zartak, darkness has fallen on arbitrators and inmates alike. The Night Lords have come, and with them the shadow of fear and pain. But they are not the only ones with an interest in Zartak. From the void, running on silent, another fleet emerges. Its warriors are grey-clad and white-faced, and their eyes are as black as the Outer Dark - the savage Carcharodon Astra. As these two packs of ancient, merciless predators stalk the shadows of the prison colony, both seeking a single young inmate with unnatural talents, the corridors run red, and both factions will have to fight tooth and claw to leave Zartak alive.

Industrialist, knighted in 1895 for his work on industrial relations. He lived at West Lodge in West Crescent, off Woodland Road, Darlington, now occupied by the Darlington Association on Disability.
DALE, Lady Alice Frederica, of West Lodge, Darlington; 2nd wife of Sir David Dale; prominent in public work died 24 November 1902 (Durham Directory, 1903) she died in Eastbourne.
DALE, Sir David, of West Lodge, Darlington, bart. died 28 April 1906 (Durham Directory, 1907)
Dale had married into the wealthy Backhouse family. He was the right-hand man of the Pease family and owned Consett Ironworks. He was also involved in the railway and shipbuilding industries. Being a Quaker, he had an interest in peaceably resolving disputes, considering strikes and lock-outs within the iron industry “barbarous, cruel and stupid”. Together with John Kane who is also buried in the West Cemetery in Darlington, he set up the Board of Arbitration and Conciliation for the Manufactured Iron Trade of the North of England, which eventually brought peace within the troubled industry. During the 19th century the arbitration board pioneered in Darlington became an accepted practice in most industries in resolving industrial disputes. He died in 1906.
A portrait of Sir David Dale can be seen in the Darlington Borough Council art collection.

"David Dale (1829-1906),1st Baronet was an English industrialist.
1829 December 11th. Born at Murshidabad, Bengal, the younger son of David Dale, an employee of the East India Company and judge of the city court there, and his wife, Ann Elizabeth, daughter of the Revd George Douglas of Aberdeen.
Dale's great-uncle was David Dale, the Glasgow banker and philanthropist, whose daughter married the socialist Robert Owen and was mother of Robert Dale Owen.
His elder brother, James Douglas (1820–1865), joined the Indian army on the Madras establishment, and became lieutenant-colonel.
Dale's father died on board the Providence on 23 June 1830, during the voyage home with his wife and children. Mrs Dale became a member of the Society of Friends in 1841, and died in 1879.
Dale was educated privately at Edinburgh, Durham, and Stockton. Brought up among Quakers, Dale remained a member of the Society of Friends until the late 1880s.
Dale's adult career began in the office of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, and in 1852, at the age of twenty-three, he was appointed secretary to the Middlesbrough and Guisborough section of the line.
On 27 January 1853 he married a widow, Annie Backhouse Whitwell, née Robson (d. 1886), who already had two children; another son and daughter were born to them.
In 1858 Dale entered into partnership with William Bouch and became lessee of the Shildon Works; the partnership ended in the early 1870s. Henceforth his activities rapidly expanded.
He was concerned with the formation of the Consett Iron Co, of which he was appointed inspector in 1858, subsequently becoming managing director in 1869 and chairman in 1884.
In 1866 he embarked on extensive shipbuilding enterprises in co-operation with the firms of Richardson, Denton, and Duck of Stockton, Denton and Grey of Hartlepool, and T. Richardson and Sons of Hartlepool, who combined together with a view to amalgamation.
Dale became vice-chairman of this ambitious undertaking, but the union was not successful, and the companies reverted shortly afterwards to their former independent positions. Dale retained an interest in the two first-named concerns. He was also managing partner of Pease & Partners Ltd, and chairman of companies working iron ore mines near Bilbao in Spain.
In 1881 he became a director of the North Eastern Railway, having previously served as director of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, and on the formation of the Sunderland Iron Ore Company in 1902 he was appointed chairman.
He was an active member of the Durham Coal Owners' Association and of the Cleveland Mine Owners' Association
1894 Treasurer of the Iron and Steel Institute[1]
1906 April 28th. Died. He died as chairman of the Consett Iron Co and the mining firm Pease and Partners, and as a director of the North Eastern Railway Company.
Dale owes his main distinction to his pioneer application of the principle of arbitration to industrial disputes.

1906 Obituary [3]
Sir DAVID DALE, Bart., Past-President, died at York on April 28, 1906, of heart affection whilst on his way back to West Lodge, Darlington, from a visit to the Continent for the benefit of his health. He was born on December 11, 1829. He came of a family several of whose members have been distinguished in industrial and commercial history, his great-uncle having been David Dale, the well-known Glasgow merchant and banker, who introduced cotton-spinning into Scotland. His father was Judge of the City Court of Moorshedabad in the Province of Bengal, and there he was born. His father having died in 1830, Darlington became the home of his mother. He was educated at Edinburgh, Durham, Stockton, and Darlington.
His business training was obtained by passing through all the departments of the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company. He quickly grasped the requirements of trade, and he showed such conspicuous business aptitude that, when little more than twenty years of age, he was appointed secretary to the Middlesbrough and Guisborough section of the Stockton and Darlington railway system.
He subsequently joined the late Mr. William Bouch in a contract for working and maintaining the locomotive engines and trucks of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. This business was carried on under the designation of the Shildon Works Company, the headquarters of this large undertaking being first at Shildon and later at Darlington. Withdrawing from this contract after some years of successful working, he was appointed the managing director of what had by this time become the Darlington section of the North-Eastern Railway. This position he resigned in 1872 to become the managing partner of Joseph Pease & Partners' extensive colliery firm, and of J. W. Pease & Company's important ironstone mines. When these concerns were converted into a private limited liability company under the designation of Pease & Partners, Limited, he became the vice-chairman, and subsequently the chairman.
In 1858 he was appointed an inspector in the interest of leading creditors of the great ironworks at Consett, then carried on by the Derwent Iron Company. When that concern was formed in 1864 into the Consett Iron Company, Limited, he became a managing director, and subsequently the chairman of the company, which position he held until his death. This led to his also becoming chairman of the Consett Spanish Ore Company, Limited, and, in 1879, of the Orconera Iron Ore Company, Limited, the most important of the companies working iron mines near Bilbao. More recently he was appointed chairman of the Dunderland Iron Ore Company, Limited. In 1881 his connection with the railway interest was renewed by his being appointed a director of the North-Eastern Railway Company. He was at the time of his death chairman of that company's Ways and Works Committee. He was also a director of the Barrow Hematite Steel Company, Limited, and chairman of the Weardale and Shildon Water Works Company, a very large undertaking supplying water to the greater part of the county of Durham. He was an active member of the Durham Coal Owners Association, and of the Cleveland Mine Owners Association, and was chairman of the joint committee of the Cleveland Mine Owners and Miners Associations. He was also chairman of the Durham Coal Trade Conciliation Board, and chairman of the Board of Examinations for the Mining District of South Durham and Cleveland.
Arbitration was still young when it was determined to apply it to the iron trade of the North of England in 1869. The first Board of Arbitration was formed in March 1869, and Sir David (then Mr.) Dale was chosen President. The success of the Northern Board of Arbitration in the iron trade was in a large measure due to the tact, firmness, and discrimination of its president. In recognition of his valuable services to that Board he was publicly presented in 1881 with an address and a portrait of himself, painted by Mr. W. W. Ouless at a cost of 500 guineas, subscribed for by the representatives of every firm connected with the Institution. Sir David's connection with the Board continued as standing "referee" until his death.
He was created a baronet in 1895. Prior to this he had served on several important Royal Commissions, chief amongst which were the Royal Commission on Trade Depression, 1885-86; the Royal Commission on Mining Royalties, 1889-93; and the Royal Commission on Labour, 1891-94, and was chairman of one of the three sections of the last-named Commission. To this arduous inquiry he devoted more than three years of assiduous attention. He was also one of the representatives of Great Britain at the Berlin Labour Conference of 1890. He was an active promoter of conciliation and arbitration in various leading trades throughout the country, and acted very frequently as arbitrator in important industrial disputes.
Sir David was a justice of the peace and a deputy-lieutenant of the county of Durham. He served as Alderman for that county, and in 1888 he was High Sheriff. He received the honorary degree of D.C.L. of Durham University.
Sir David was one of the most zealous advocates of the movement for forming the Iron and Steel Institute in 1869, and acted as hon. treasurer from its inauguration until Isis election as President in 1895. His presidential address embodied a remarkably comprehensive statement of the progress of the iron and steel industries as indicated by the evidence afforded by statistics, and has proved a work of reference of far-reaching value. Portraits and memoirs of Sir David Dale were published in the Engineer (May 4, 1906, p. 443), Engineering (May 4, 1906, p. 589), Iron and Coal Trades Review (May 4, 1906, p. 1483), Ironmonger (May 5, 1906, p. 177), and other technical journals."

A young Preston player bowled over in an attempt on goal but lawfully under the rules of the game. Field Hockey can be dangerous but the risks are kept to a minimum by two umpires .
Of course at local league level, the standard of umpiring can vary quite a bit and as a rule each side provides an umpire . In higer league and national and international games more experienced , better qualified and very carefully vetted umpires control the games.
As with football the most popular team game in the UK ( hockey is the second most popular in terms of numbers who participate actively) the arbitrqators who uphold the rules have a vital but increasingly difficult role to play.
It is of course far easier for fans and spectators and indeed players to criticise and often be abusive to referees and umpires than simply accept the decision and get on with the game. Some of this criticism is fueled by passion and frustration but much of it is "denial."
In field hockey both umpires use a fix set of signals so that each of them knows what decision they have given and so do the players and most umpires i watch also briefly explain / justify their decision to the player / players whom the decision goes against.
I've been watching hockey and shooting it for maybe five years now and still haven't mastered what are a quite complex set of rules. In fact, i know , that , in lower leagues, many of the players do not know the minuteae of the official rules and thus contest genuine , correct and impartial decisions made.
The nightmare for many arbitrators oif team games is when they are unsighted and an infringement occurs. They can only make their best call and players really ough to accept them and get on with the game. In virtually all such scenarios that I have witnessed through the lens , the disdavantage to a penalised team by difficult decisons they find hard to accept is much less than the disadvantage they bring on themselves in terms of losing the plot, losing focus and indeed making their side vulnerable defensively where the opposition quickly get on with it whilst their opponents are bickering about a decision.
Mosy recently, whilst in Bolton after the game, back at the clubhouse , I had the pleasure / priveledge to meet a world class FIH field hockey umpire , a charismatic Canadian called Keeley Dunn. She is in the UK on secondment for six months . Keeley is extremely articulate and passionate about her vocation , for that is what umpiring seemed to be for her and I found her to be most direct and completly honest. From that conversation I learned a great deal about the game from an umpire's perspective and the way top class field hockey umpires get accredited and are monitored to ensure the highest standards and to ensure impartiality.
Hence for example, FIH umpires are elected to cover national and international games but , as I understood it , are merely renumerated for travel , accommodation and get a modest allowance for food. They are not paid. When I retorted that they ought to be , she replied that , in some cases where that had happened , mentioning no countries here of course , this had led to corruption and that of course is detrimental to the game and the integrity of officials , which in my view should never be in question.
I guess you need knowledge, experience, courage and a lot of self confidence to umpire such games. Keeley has a website / blog and is a member of Flickr. One of her most recent entries is an honest and at times moving account of why she sought secondment in the UK and how that has helped her in her goal to be one of the best. My guess is that she has got there and that is just on a chance meeting.
In that account (of what was a crisis of confidence that led her to these shores) she speaks of one of those enlighteningmoments , a few words in the right palxce that triggered a theraputic re-think. It was mainly the simpel advice to be in the right palce at the right time during a game.
this shot from the Preston Bolton match is illustrative of how that advice applies to my trade as well. I am becoming increasingly more ruthless in deleting shots friom all the one's I take at games and I was in two minds about this one but couldn't bring myself to bin it. In many ways covering fast moving team games through the lens it is a bit of a lottery , with players and sometimes umpires moving into the shot and you get shots like this.
still can't look back and live by the 'what if ?' mantra! Can't wait to shoot the game tommorow night. so excited that I haven't gone to bed yet. Andrew just sent a message by gmail that he had finsihed packing and was off to sleep. He has to get a taxi at four a.m. to Manchester airport this morning. I am taking a bus from Eccles to the airport in Liverpool at around 3 in rthe afternoon . It will be a push to get to the stadium at least 30 minutes before the game starts but fingers crossed I'll get there a little bit earlier .
BTW Keely's Flickjr is here
And check out her blog here
Her account on her blog of that crisis ,as mentioned above, is a recommended read it is witty , has irony and full of what self-effacing charm touched with a steely determination to be who she is.

The market for agricultural products in Vienna, in short, Commodity Exchange, is a in 1869 founded produce exchange, without time bargain. It is located since 1890 in a 1887-1890 specifically created building in Tabor street in Vienna's Leopoldstadt.
During National Socialism in Austria (1938-1945) as well as because of market organisation act, from 1949 to 1994 the stock market possessed no power. With Austria's EU accession in 1995 the stock market was reactivated and resumed the function of the finding of the target price (Richtpreisfindung) for the Austrian market by the major market participants. Stock exchange listings are taking place on a weekly basis.
In addition, the Vienna Commodity Exchange has a tribunal that is responsible for all members and trading partners in the event of disputes.
History
Since 1812, the grain trade is a free business in Austria, therefore, therefore, corn a commodity. With the development of trade in 1853 arose the Viennese fruit and flour stock exchange. This was for the moment subordinated under the Vienna Magistrate and was only on 24 June 1869 independent. This was the birth year of the Vienna Commodity Exchange. Whose trade for the moment took place in the café Commodity Exchanges in Vienna's Leopoldstadt (2nd district). With the increase of trading volume and the trading participants, the construction of a separate stock exchange building was decided. The contract for this got in 1887 the architect Karl König, who built the Stock Exchange building in Tabor street, near the café in the Neo-Renaissance style. The completion and the start of trading took place on 23 August, 1890. In Latin letters the motto of the stock market was walled in: in usum negotiatorum cuiuscumque Nationis ac linguae ("the merchants of all nations and all languages dedicated").
Until the First World War, the Stock Exchange was the most important market for agricultural products of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. After its demise, and the years of inflation, stock exchange trading experienced a large decline, of which the stock market not recovered until the mid-20s.
In 1938, after the annexation of Austria to Germany, the stock market was closed. During the Second World War, the stock market was hit in air raids on Vienna, the trading hall burned down . After the war was began with the rebuilding. On 10 November 1948 followed the reconstitution of the Stock Exchange Chamber and on Wednesday, the 29th July 1949, the first stock exchange meeting was held in Taborstraße in the repaired stock exchange building. The stock market was now, however, because of market regulation law determining the fixing of prices by the social partnership largely meaningless. It merely served as a weekly meeting place of key market participants. From the 1980s on, the great hall was used by the Odeon Theatre.
With the accession of Austria to the EU market in 1995, the Market Organsation Act had to be abrogated. The Commodity Exchange sat together again and took up again its function as place of target price finding of the key market participants.
The Vienna Commodity Exchange was decisively involved in the making of a unified Italian-Austrian-German model agreement for the grain trade.

Arbitration
Members of the Exchange are legally bound by the trade practices. These fixe also the recognition of the Arbitration Court of the Vienna Stock Exchange for agricultural products as competent tribunal in the event of disputes or disagreements. This is not bound by procedural requirements of the ordinary courts, and therefore against judgments of the tribunal also can not be appealed. The procedures usually last less than a month and the sayings of the tribunal on the Vienna Stock Exchange are, in contrast to many other European stock exchanges, immediately enforceable executory titles.

The market for agricultural products in Vienna, in short, Commodity Exchange, is a in 1869 founded produce exchange, without time bargain. It is located since 1890 in a 1887-1890 specifically created building in Tabor street in Vienna's Leopoldstadt.
During National Socialism in Austria (1938-1945) as well as because of market organisation act, from 1949 to 1994 the stock market possessed no power. With Austria's EU accession in 1995 the stock market was reactivated and resumed the function of the finding of the target price (Richtpreisfindung) for the Austrian market by the major market participants. Stock exchange listings are taking place on a weekly basis.
In addition, the Vienna Commodity Exchange has a tribunal that is responsible for all members and trading partners in the event of disputes.
History
Since 1812, the grain trade is a free business in Austria, therefore, therefore, corn a commodity. With the development of trade in 1853 arose the Viennese fruit and flour stock exchange. This was for the moment subordinated under the Vienna Magistrate and was only on 24 June 1869 independent. This was the birth year of the Vienna Commodity Exchange. Whose trade for the moment took place in the café Commodity Exchanges in Vienna's Leopoldstadt (2nd district). With the increase of trading volume and the trading participants, the construction of a separate stock exchange building was decided. The contract for this got in 1887 the architect Karl König, who built the Stock Exchange building in Tabor street, near the café in the Neo-Renaissance style. The completion and the start of trading took place on 23 August, 1890. In Latin letters the motto of the stock market was walled in: in usum negotiatorum cuiuscumque Nationis ac linguae ("the merchants of all nations and all languages dedicated").
Until the First World War, the Stock Exchange was the most important market for agricultural products of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. After its demise, and the years of inflation, stock exchange trading experienced a large decline, of which the stock market not recovered until the mid-20s.
In 1938, after the annexation of Austria to Germany, the stock market was closed. During the Second World War, the stock market was hit in air raids on Vienna, the trading hall burned down . After the war was began with the rebuilding. On 10 November 1948 followed the reconstitution of the Stock Exchange Chamber and on Wednesday, the 29th July 1949, the first stock exchange meeting was held in Taborstraße in the repaired stock exchange building. The stock market was now, however, because of market regulation law determining the fixing of prices by the social partnership largely meaningless. It merely served as a weekly meeting place of key market participants. From the 1980s on, the great hall was used by the Odeon Theatre.
With the accession of Austria to the EU market in 1995, the Market Organsation Act had to be abrogated. The Commodity Exchange sat together again and took up again its function as place of target price finding of the key market participants.
The Vienna Commodity Exchange was decisively involved in the making of a unified Italian-Austrian-German model agreement for the grain trade.
Stock exchange dealing
Merchandises
Actual trading does not take place at the Produce Exchange. However, there are business transactions from a certain minium dimension for the purpose of target price finding of the traded commodities - depending on traded good, differently high, as a rule, not less than 100 tons - recorded. The exchange traffic includes substantially all in the region grown agricultural raw materials and semi-finished products which are used for human and animal consumption. Excluded from the exchange traffic are forestry products, spices, herbs as well as raw materials serving for the production of fabrics and spun yarns, such as jute. Also excluded are almost all "colonial goods", ie sugar, coffee, tea, chocolate, cocoa, and the like.
Trade practices
As binding basis of the in business occurring terms, business conditions, deadlines, settlement procedures and trade practices are serving the practices of the stock exchange for agricultural products Vienna. They should prevent misunderstandings and misinterpretations and thus facilitate domestic and international trade.
In addition, special provisions specify what requirements quality or brand denominations must fulfill - such as, "quality" or "Premium Wheat".
Quotation
The quotations occure on the basis of actual having taken place trade, hence, without contracts such as options and futures, which are not traded in Vienna, once a week on Wednesday at 13.30 clock. For assessment used are only large trades from a certain minimum quantity at wholesale price. Fixed are the prices ultimately by the Price Determination Commission, which is under the supervision of the Exchange Commissioner. The publication of the prices takes place in the official list.

I have 2 stories about this famous house. This company is now out of service and this firehouse is now being used as a museum for Black firemen
The first story I have is from my old Lt. Bill Ryan that he told me. It seemed for several days when ever the men sat down for dinner they would get a fire call and always a false alarm at that. But when they returned the food would be gone. This happen over and over. So he went to a veterinarian he knew and got some Croton oil that they used on horses as a laxative. He purchased a roast beef at a meat market and he cook it at the firehouse. He then poured the Croton oil on the beef and he said as they sat down for dinner the bell went off and when they returned the beef was gone. But he said they never had that problem again
The second story is about that famous video that was shown all over the world. I got my information from a fireman I knew who was there at the party.
I must first tell you I know Captain Ezra McCann. I knew him as a fireman and we talked often about the fire department. I liked the man, he was very big and always had a great smile and fun to talk to. When he became the Captain of Engine 100, I was told he ask all the white firemen to put in for a transfer because he wanted the house to be all black. The video you saw was taken by a black fire girl out of a locker of a white fireman and given to Captain McCann.
I will say taking a video of this party was not a very good idea, kind of stupid I would have to say.
The men on duty had a retirement party for a man on there company and had it at the firehouse. I have been to parties like these over time and they were not uncommon. The video shows the men drinking and having beer in a firehouse was not on the list of things to have.
But I was told that the men working that day did not drink any of the beer just the many men who came in on there days off to say good bye to the man of the hour. Companies from all over the district came over to say there good byes as well. Chiefs and officiers alike. White firemen and black firemen were all there. At one time someone said that Rap was not music and anyone could do it. A black firemen wrote down the lyrics to a Rap song and challenged a white firemen to sing it. We all saw what he did and all who were at that party both black and white had a good laugh. I point out no firemen on duty that day were drinking and it all happen a year or more before you saw the video. Captain McCann was all to happy to make a race issue out of it. The city tried to fire the men at that party, just the white men no charges were against the black firemen or officiers who attained the party. They fired the men, but a year or more later a arbitrator reinstated the men and the city still did not give back there jobs, It went to court and a judge ruled against the city and the men got back there jobs with back pay. What happen to that black girl who stole the video I don't know but most likely she got promoted.
