Alumni Awards to Be Presented May 21
Each year, the NEOMED Alumni Association recognizes alumni and friends for their service and volunteer work with the University, the health professions and the local community.
With last year's event pre-empted by the pandemic, the Alumni Award Dinner on May 21 will include awards for two years – and a Trivia Night.
Congratulations to the award recipients!
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION APPRECIATION AWARD
The 2021 Alumni Association Appreciation Award will be presented to Chelsey Kirkland, M.P.H., ('16). Kirkland was instrumental in organizing and leading the College of Graduate Studies Town Hall meeting in late 2020. The information and perspectives shared by alumni at this meeting will greatly assist the College in better engaging alumni by understanding their needs. Kirkland has been a strong advocate for alumni, has taken the initiative to personally engage her fellow COGS graduates and has admirably represented and supported the mission of the NEOMED Alumni Association.
The 2020 Alumni Association Appreciation Award will be presented to Doug Moses, M.D. ('95). Dr. Moses has helped acknowledge and thank our alumni who volunteer their time as admissions interviewers. He grew the number of alumni who participate in this important institutional process by reaching out as a fellow NEOMED graduate and asking for help. The first year he made the request, NEOMED saw a significant increase in volunteers, with more than 90 alumni signing up. He also improved communication between departments to ensure that NEOEMD was properly thanking and recognizing these important volunteers.
The 2021 Distinguished Service Award will be presented to Nancy Flickinger, M.D. ('81). Dr. Flickinger is a family practitioner and associate director of the Summa Barberton Family Practice Residency Program. She has contributed to NEOMED as an educator, mentor and volunteer. She teaches the ALSO course at NEOMED, volunteers at the Student-Run Free Clinic at NEOMED and has been a dedicated educator and mentor throughout her career. Her passion for primary care has inspired many medical students to pursue family medicine.
The 2020 Distinguished Service Award will be presented to the late Dinah Fedyna, M.D. ('82). Dr. Fedyna was well-known and respected in NEOMED's Department of Family and Community Medicine and served as the director of geriatrics as well as being a teaching preceptor with medical residents at the Family Health Center. She spent more than 30 years as a medical educator, becoming a role model for many. A dedicated volunteer, she established a bi-monthly dinner for the underserved community in Youngstown, feeding more than 150 people at each dinner and sending home lunch bags and essential care products. Through her professional career and volunteerism, Dr. Fedyna demonstrated her commitment to aiding the underserved in our region.
Dr. Fedyna passed away in February 2021. Her husband, Joseph Novicky, will accept the award in her memory.
The 2020 Distinguished Alumni Award will be presented to Donald Malone Jr., M.D. ('85). Dr. Malone is president of Cleveland Clinic Ohio Hospitals and Family Health Centers. He also serves as a Professor of Psychiatry at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University. He has been active in research in the areas of anxiety disorders, anabolic steroid use and abuse, ECT and Deep Brain Stimulation. Dr. Malone has authored numerous publications and presented both nationally and internationally as an expert in his field.
[Read Dr. Malone's thoughts on leadership in the Spring 2022 issue of Ignite.]
The 2021 Distinguished Alumni Award will be presented to Scott Deitchman, M.D. ('84), M.P.H.. Dr. Deitchman served 30 years in the United States Public Health Service, including assignments as Assistant Surgeon General, medical advisor for Homeland Security Affairs in the Office of the Vice President, and leading the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) responses to the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor emergency. He was appointed Rear Admiral by the USPHS. Dr. Deitchman holds an adjunct faculty appointment at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. As a principal at Gordon & Rosenblatt LLC, he consults in preventing waterborne disease outbreaks, such as Legionnaires disease.
The 2021 Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Blaise Congeni, M.D. Through more than 40 years of service, Dr. Congeni has distinguished himself in the clinical realm locally, regionally and nationally. He retired in 2021 as director of pediatric infectious disease at Akron Children's Hospital, but continues to lead students as a professor of pediatrics and medical microbiology at NEOMED. The first classes he taught at NEOMED were held in a trailer on Route 44 and he has continued with the University through its physical growth and evolution. Dr. Congeni has dedicated his life to medical education and health care for the people of this region.

Q: DirectX Math function confusion While I was going over some older DirectX code, I came by the functions D3DXVec3Transform and D3DXVec3TransformCoord. Upon looking up the descriptions for them, they seemed rather similar but I don't see what the difference between the two are. Can someone please explain what is the difference between D3DXVec3Transform and D3DXVec3TransformCoord are, along with the math behind them?

A: When you transform a 3D vector by matrix it results in a 4D vector where w!=1
a 3D vector can be described as 4D vector where w=1.
D3DXVec3Transform returns the 4D vector where w!=1.
D3DXVec3TransformCoord gets the 4D vector and the projects it onto w=1 to make it 3D vector.
EDIT: And here is the paper I google'd and found if interested in how to do the transformation:

Before releasing their debut album, Missing, the White Kites released a short EP with two songs from the same recording sessions. Both are excellent Brit psych pop tunes. "Love Doctor" is more of a music hall tune with a harpsichord foundation that becomes very trippy with whispered vocals and all kinds of odd things happening in the background. And this song would not have been out of place on Gong's early recordings. It is quite easy to imagine Gilli Symth singing along with Daevid Allen on guitar. The second song, "Evening Walk," is another very cool and trippy psych tune with male and female vocals trading verses, with a fanciful mind blowing break in the middle. This EP is an excellent companion to Missing and I can only expect to hear more excellent music from The White Kites in the years to come.

Royston and Abhi are Quantitative Reasoning Assistants at USP's QR Centre.
Meet Dr Charles Burke, the newest addition to the USP's distinguished faculty, soon to be teaching in both the Quantitative Reasoning Foundation, and the Sciences and Technologies Domains.
We—Royston and Abhi, in our role as QR Assistants—had the pleasure to be amongst the first to get to know Dr Burke, to find out more about him and the modules he would be teaching.
Dr Burke arrived in Singapore in early April shortly after accepting an offer to teach at USP. While he grew up in the US, he has moved and lived in various cities across the US, Canada, Britain and Spain, just to count a few. Suffice to say, Dr Burke is quite a global citizen and has travelled extensively.
Singapore is his first big step into Asia, which he describes as his "biggest change in terms of geography and culture". He tells us that Singapore reminds him of Florida where he spent a large part of his childhood in, a place dear and near to his heart. He jokingly admits that it might take a while for him to get adjusted to the heat in Singapore, but he does fancy the sunny weather, as well as the lush green spaces and the city-in-a-garden concept.
He describes Singapore as truly multicultural. He recounted his experience of taking the MRT on the first few days of arriving here, being delighted to see the diversity that we have. He is keenly excited to explore more of Singapore, and to make a few trips to the neighbouring countries.
On his academic background, Dr Burke pursued his undergraduate studies in Environmental Sciences at the Bishop's University in Quebec, but switched to Political Science for his Masters at the University of Windsor. "I was always interested in environmental policy making", he says. After graduating, he did some policy work at the Cross-Border Institute at the University of Windsor. The Institute had been subcontracted by the Obama administration back then for economic analysis on investments in transportation projects and upgrading transport facilities to be more environmentally friendly, as well as their impact on jobs. There, he analysed the traffic patterns of various cities, making sense of big data to come up with policy recommendations.
His PhD thesis was related to transportation as well, focusing on "active transportation", which refers to human-powered forms of transportation, such as walking or cycling to your destination. He remarks that in present day, there is little space for bike lanes on roads, with cars occupying most of the road, but it does not have to be so. He has conducted simulations to analyse and assess where bike lanes can replace roads without affecting traffic congestion too much. He has already done a model for Toronto, which not only helped to identify spaces for bikes and pedestrians, but also eased congestion in certain areas. He is therefore excited about the prospect to do a similar model for Singapore.
In the coming academic year, Dr Burke will be offering two modules. The first, a Quantitative Reasoning module, he titles "Pursuit of Happiness", with a focus on the factors that lead to a high quality of life. "Is quality of life more related to social demographics, such as one's ethnicity or economic status, or is it one's attitude and outlook on things, such as being liberal or conservative?" He intends for his students to collect primary data on this topic, to compare against the data from the US.
The second module, to be offered in the Sciences and Technologies domain, will be on Big Data. Dr Burke tells us excitedly about what he has learned about OpenData SG and the vast amount of geographical data made available. He hopes to be able to use those data to identify useful patterns in this module, such as patterns of dengue fever occurrence.
When we asked Dr Burke on his approach to teaching, it was not surprising to hear that "it will be hands-on learning." He expects USP students to apply what they have learned practically, digging deep into the data, and using software tools to answer questions through statistical analysis. Ultimately, he hopes that his students can all become data scientists.
Outside the classroom, Dr Burke is an avid sports fan and athlete. The former captain of his varsity American football team, he is incredibly sporty, and would love to join students in playing sports. In fact, he readily took up our offer to join the casual floorball game that same evening following our little chat (Royston has therefore had first-hand experience playing alongside him!). For someone who can pick up any sport quickly—"anything with a ball, stick, racket or disc," he shares—it seems that we may just have a new ace player for the upcoming Inter-Faculty Games!
We really enjoyed our chat with Dr Burke. He looks set to be a much welcome addition to the USP community, in both academic and co-curricular fields. We keenly look forward to the exciting new academic year after this summer break.

QNB Stars League Week 22 Review
Al Duhail emerged as the 2019-20 season QNB Stars League champions as curtains were down on yet another edition of the tournament last weekend with Week 22 action. Two of the six matches ended in draws and nine goals were scored.
Al Duhail regained the coveted shield with 52 points, one ahead of Al Rayyan. It was The Red Knights' seventh league triumph.
Paulo Edmilson scored what turned out to be the all-important goal for Al Duhail against Al Ahli at the Al Janoub Stadium on Friday.
Al Rayyan defeated Al Wakrah 2-0 in the simultaneous kick-off at the Al Sadd Stadium, but that was not enough for The Lions to win the league shield.
The equation was that Al Duhail will become victorious if they beat Al Ahli, irrespective of the result of Al Wakrah vs Al Rayyan game.
Al Ahli and Al Wakrah finished ninth and sixth with 20 and 27 points respectively.
Last season's champions Al Sadd, who were out of contention for the title before the final round, settled for the third place. The Wolves played out a 1-1 draw with Al Gharafa, as they ended up third and fourth with 45 and 36 points respectively.
Al Sadd and Al Gharafa were the only teams to have ensured their positions going into the final round.
Al Shahania suffered the heartbreak of getting directly relegated to the Second Division despite holding Al Khor to a 2-2 draw. Nabil Anwar's wards finished bottom of the 12-team tournament with 16 points, one less than 11th-placed Al Khor who will face the Second Division runners-up in play-off for a place in next season's top flight.
Second Division champions Al Kharaitiyat had already earned a berth in the 2020-21 season QNB Stars League.
Al Sailiya and Umm Salal finished in fifth and 10th spot with 29 and 18 points respectively after they were locked in a goalless draw, while Al Arabi and Qatar SC too played out a goalless draw to be placed seventh and eighth with 26 and 20 points respectively.
Akram Afif of Al Sadd and Yacine Brahimi of Al Rayyan finished the campaign as joint top scorers with 15 goals. Akram's team-mate Baghdad Bounedjah and Al Shahania's Ramin Rezaein are joint second with 13 goals.

Bristol was named the best place to live in the UK by the Sunday Times in 2017 - and that comes as no surprise because there are so many different things to see and do in the city.
Bristol is probably most famous for its iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge that spans the Avon Gorge and the River Avon and links Clifton in Bristol to Leigh Woods in North Somerset. There's also Brunel's SS Great Britain Steamship museum that's located in the Great Western Dockyard and has been voted as Bristol's number one attraction.
If you enjoy open green spaces, Bristol has many parks and gardens such as: Castle Park in Broadmean, Brandon Hill which is just off Park Street, Queen Square which is located in the Old City and Clifton Downs, Clifton. If you're looking for somewhere to take the grandchildren there's Noha's Ark Zoo Farm in Wraxall.
If you prefer indulging in a little history, there's the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery in West End which is worth a visit.
For a free property valuation or to arrange a viewing on any of the properties on this site, call 0800 080 3303, or email us at: sales@retirementmove.co.uk.

A Carcharhinus cerdale a porcos halak (Chondrichthyes) osztályának kékcápaalakúak (Carcharhiniformes) rendjébe, ezen belül a kékcápafélék (Carcharhinidae) családjába tartozó faj.

Előfordulása
A Carcharhinus cerdale előfordulási területe a Kelet-Csendes-óceánban van. A Kaliforniai-öböltől egészen Peruig lelhető fel.

Megjelenése
Ez a cápafaj legfeljebb 140 centiméter hosszú. Habár ennél a fajnál nem jellemző a hátúszók közti kiemelkedés, egyes példányainál mégis jelen van; bár ezeknél is a felnőttkor elérésével a kiemelkedések eltűnnek. A szemei mögött kis pórusok vannak. Az első öt foga háromszög alakú és fűrészes szélű; hátrafelé haladva a fogak egyre keskenyebbé válnak. Bőrén a fogaspikkelyek nemigen fedik egymást; rajtuk három kis kiemelkedés van, a középső hosszabb, mint a két szélső. A tartósított példányoknál a két hátúszó, a hasúszók és a farok alatti úszók szélei sötétek vagy szürkék; a mellúszók felső részének a végein sötétszürke vagy fekete foltok ülnek. Ugyanúgy a farokúszó alsó nyúlványának a végén is sötétszürke vagy fekete folt látható. A magzatok esetében a farokúszót fekete szegély veszi körül; a mellúszók hátsó széln pedig széles, fehér sáv látható.

Életmódja
Trópusi cápafaj, amely a tengerfenék közelében él.

The Commission renews the licence for Type A community radio programming undertaking CFTH-FM-2 La Tabatière and Mutton Bay, from 1 September 2001 to 31 August 2008, subject to conditions specified in the licence to be issued, as also set out in Public Notice CRTC 2000-157.
The renewal of this licence follows the new Community radio policy which, among other things, removed the requirement for licensees to submit a Promise of Performance setting out programming obligations. These obligations are replaced by conditions listed on the licence of each station (Public Notice CRTC 2000-13).
The station will broadcast 15 hours of programming per week, produced by the station. Community radio licensees have the flexibility to reduce or increase their weekly broadcast time by up to 20% without application to the Commission. A change of more than 20%, however, requires prior Commission approval.
In accordance with the requirements of the new Policy, the licensee made a commitment to devote, during each broadcast week, 15% of its programming to community-oriented spoken word programming. In addition, it committed to devote 50% of its news programming time to local news and 50% to regional news, during each broadcast week. The Commission expects the licensee to honour these commitments.
The licensee has also committed to meet the new regulatory requirements with respect to the percentage of Canadian musical selections from category 2 (35%) and category 3 (12%) that community and campus radio stations must broadcast each broadcast week.
The Commission expects the licensee to implement the initiatives set out in its plan for Canadian talent development and to give effect to the measures designed to encourage the participation of volunteers.
The Commission considers that community radio stations should be particularly sensitive to employment equity issues in order to reflect fully the communities they serve. It encourages the licensee to consider these issues in its hiring practices and in all other aspects of its management of human resources (Public Notice CRTC 1992-59).


We've got big news to share: As you hopefully know already, each year the Coalition releases an analysis and ranking of the best Complete Streets policies in the country based on 10 policy elements that were established more than a decade ago. Beginning in 2018, we will be using a brand new framework to analyze and rank Complete Streets policies.
As of the end of 2016, more than 1,000 jurisdictions in the United States have made formal commitments to streets that are safe and convenient for everyone—no matter their age, income, race, ethnicity, physical ability, or how they choose to travel—by passing a Complete Streets policy. Specifically, 13 communities led the nation in creating and adopting comprehensive Complete Streets policies last year.
Eddy Street Commons in South Bend, IN. South Bend had one of the highest scoring policies of 2015. Which communities will be on the 2016 list? Photo courtesy of the City of South Bend.
Last year, 130 communities passed Complete Streets policies, and all of them are in the running to win the title of best Complete Streets policy of 2016. Could your town or city be this year's winner?

Thanks, Glenn. That's a helpful service--especially because some airports that brag about courtesy cars don't have them readily available.
The term MOGAS has historically meant 87 octane regular-grade car gas, which is not suitable for any Rotax engine more powerful than the little 80 hp 912. So when I travel with my Rotax 914 Searey, I rarely bother to look for "MOGAS." Instead, I look for airports located close to conventional gas stations. Or I just buy 100LL and support the airport.

A: Do you really have to set the tab order by code?
Just press Ctrl+D in the dialog designer!
Update:
Using SetWindowPos won't help you. The parameter that you think it will define the taborder just sets the z-order, meaning the order how controls are painted if they overlap. I'm not sure, but I think the tab-order is defined by the order how the controls are created.
Next update:
A possible workaround is to watch the keyboard-events for the Tab-key, then get the active control and set the focus to the control which should come next.

Dr. Albert Rothenberg, a noted researcher on the creative process, has extensively studied the use of opposites in the creative process. He identified a process he terms "Janusian thinking," a process named after Janus, a Roman God who has two faces, each looking in the opposite direction. Janusian thinking is the ability to imagine two opposites or contradictory ideas, concepts, or images existing simultaneously.
Rothenberg found that geniuses resorted to this mode of thinking quite often in the act of achieving original insights.
In physics, Einstein was able to imagine an object in motion and at rest at the same time. To better understand the nature of this paradox, he constructed an analogy that reflected the essence of the paradox. An observer, Einstein posited, who jumps off a house roof and releases any object at the same time, will discover that the object will remain, relative to the observer, in a state of rest. The unique feature of this analogy was that the apparent absence of a gravitational field arises even though gravitation causes the observer's accelerating plunge. This was the analogy that Einstein said was his happiest thought in life because it pertains to the larger principle of general relativity. (He was looking for an analogy in nature that would allow him to bring Newton's theory of gravitation into the theory of relativity, the step making it a general theory.
Another Nobel prize physicist Niels Bohr is considered by many to be one of the most influential scientists in the twentieth century. Bohr, believed, according to Rothenberg, that if you hold opposites together, then you suspend your thought and your mind moves to a new level. The suspension of thought allows an intelligence beyond thought to act and create a new form. The swirling of opposites creates the conditions for a new point of view to bubble free from your mind. This ability to hold two opposites together led to Bohr's conception of the principle of complementarity. The very claim that light is both a particle and a wave is inextricably self-contradictory.
To think in terms of simultaneous opposites, convert your subject into a paradox and then find a useful analogy. Foundries clean forged metal parts by sandblasting them. The sand cleans the parts but the sand gets into the cavities and is time consuming and expensive to clean. We formulates the paradox as that the particles must be "hard" in order to clean the parts and at the same time "not hard" in order to be removed easily. An analogue of particles which are "hard" and "not hard" is ice. The solution was to make the particles out of dry ice. The hard particles will clean the parts and later turn into gas and evaporate.

For-profit schools hit back as ED finalizes regulations
From staff and wire reports
Duncan has received a series of letters from members of Congress who oppose a for-profit crackdown.
The U.S. Education Department (ED) will take longer than expected to formulate new regulations for for-profit colleges, and private-sector school officials expect about 1,000 students to speak out against the government's measures at a rally planned for Sept. 29 in Washington, D.C.
For-profit colleges have campaigned hard against the "gainful employment" rule, which would cut off federal aid to college vocational programs with high student debt levels and poor loan repayment rates. They've lobbied Congress, purchased newspaper ads, and helped students and others register complaints with ED.
The government was to publish its final rules by Nov. 1, but ED officials announced a new timeline on Sept. 24, saying sections of the plan would be ready by Nov. 1 and the remaining portions will be published in early 2011.
ED's delay on the new regulations comes just two weeks after a report that showed for-profit lobbying has skyrocketed since Education Secretary Arne Duncan first criticized some industry colleges of unseemly practices that required tougher government oversight, as first reported Sept. 17 by the journalistic nonprofit group ProPublica.
Members of Congress who signed three letters expressing "serious concern" with Duncan's proposals received more than $90,000 from the for-profit industry during the first seven months of 2010, according to online campaign contribution records.
Students from for-profit colleges and universities will join officials from those schools this week to protest ED's regulations during a rally at the U.S. Capitol, organized by the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU).
"Many are concerned about the current negative environment in Washington regarding private-sector colleges and universities and want to show their support for the education that they've received and how it will contribute to their long-term career success," APSCU said in a statement. "They oppose policies that limit choice and diminish the value of their postsecondary educations."
Rally attendees will include APSCU President Harris Miller and Arthur Keiser, chancellor of Keiser University, a family-owned chain of 13 campuses across Florida.
Legislators who signed the letters received contributions from political action committees representing DeVry Inc., the Career Education Corporation, the Career College Association, and Corinthian Colleges Inc., among other for-profit education companies, according to public records.
Keiser from Keiser University also is listed as a main contributor to signers of the letters to Duncan.
ED said it was taking more time to consider comments—it received about 91,000 during a 90-day comment period, a record for a proposed higher-education regulation—and hold several meetings and public hearings in the coming weeks. The department said the schedule allows it to stick to its plan for the rules to go into effect around July 1, 2012.
"Let me be clear: We're moving forward on gainful employment regulations," Duncan said in a statement. "While a majority of career colleges play a vital role in training our workforce to be globally competitive, some bad actors are saddling students with debt they cannot afford in exchange for degrees and certificates they cannot use."
Duncan said additional feedback would help the department strike "the right balance" between holding the programs accountable to protect students and taxpayers and "making sure we keep whole those programs that are doing a good job."

British Prime Minister Theresa May will fly to Brussels for a dinner with EU leaders on Monday in a bid to end "deadlocked" Brexit negotiations.
The surprise visit will take place after EU negotiator Michel Barnier said last week talks had reached a stalemate.
May will be joined by Brexit Secretary David Davis and they will meet European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Barnier.
British prime ministry sources said the visit was pre-planned but EU sources did not confirm this.
May is expected to try to convince EU leaders to agree beginning a second phase of negotiations that will deal with the U.K.'s future relationship with the bloc.
Juncker earlier said the U.K. would have to pay a so-called Brexit divorce bill which, according to estimates, could reach up to £100 billion ($132 billion) before they could move negotiations to the next phase.
"We will not be able to say in the European Council in October that now we can move to the second phase of negotiations," Juncker said.
The U.K. insisted Brexit negotiations had reached a point where sufficient progress had been made to take the talks to the second stage, where the future relationship between the U.K. and the EU could be discussed.
However, upon the completion of a fourth round of negotiations last month, EU leaders said the progress seen was not enough but praised a conciliatory speech by May in Florence, describing it as a step forward.
British voters opted to leave the EU in a referendum over a year ago and Brexit negotiations are supposed to be finalized in March 2019.
The issue of citizens' rights is one of the main issues to be dealt with during the negotiations, along with the land borders between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and Gibraltar and Spain.
Immigration control and access to the European single market will be discussed.

Home Page Chess Life Online 2008 March Ramirez Wins in St.Louis
Ramirez Wins in St.Louis
By Paul Fricano
Alejandro Ramirez won the Mid-American Open. Photo Dmitry Schneider
From the regal valet whose friendly smile welcomed you to the Crown Royale Plaza to the chess fanatic who only fancied waltzing his checkered matilda, the relationships, the friends, and the laughter set the stage for the Mid-American Open (St.Louis, Feb.29-March 2) 212 players from 23 states entered, including two Grandmasters, GM Alejandro Ramirez and GM Alexander Yermolinsky. Alejandro was fresh from winning the Morelia Open, and he reeled in another impressive performance. He now looks forward to the collegiate clash in Baltimore, the Final Four (April 5-6.)
Here is Alejandro Ramirez's fourth round win over USCF expert Tim Steiner, who you will see below, must have been still buzzing from his previous round.
Tim Steiner, rated 2030, posted a performance rating of 2568 and showed that applying a gentle squeeze is easier than crashing through against one of America's finest Grandmasters. Tim Steiner first appeared in CLO with his human interest piece about Kansas City, Missouri mayor Mark Funkhouser. Here Tim annotates his upset win against Yermolinsky.
I also played Yermo last year at the Governer's Cup in South Dakota. I achieved a fairly balanced middle game position. Yermo wasn't making progress and I became bored and I decided to open up the game and I lost a pawn, then my position and then the game. It was pretty devastaing to me since I thought I could easily draw. What did I learn from this game? I'll tell you later on.
1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bg5 c6 6.Qc2 Na6 7.a3 Nc7 8.e3 Ne6 9.Bh4 Be7 10.Bd3 g6 11.Nge2 0–0 12.f3 b6 13.0–0 Bb7 14.Rad1 Re8 15.Kh1
So far, so good. We have proceeded down some normal channels. However, usually by this time Black has followed up with a few exchanges on f5. Or usually Black has played c5 already and gotten counterplay on the queenside. None of these things have happened yet. Here we go again with Yermo just sitting there waiting for a mistake playing rope-a-dope.
15...Qd7 16.Bf2 Nh5 17.Ng3 Nhg7 18.f4 Nc7 19.f5 Rad8 20.Be1 Bf8
Position after 20...Bf8
21.Qe2
Instead of doing what was expected of me, I decided to play Yermo style and slowly squeeze. I declined my chance to play 21.e4. I figured: Why take the big center right now when he will simply play c5 and undermine the entire center? But maybe he can't play c5 after all: 21...c5?! 22.dxc5 Bxc5 23.exd5 Nxd5 24.Be4 Ne3 25.Rxd7 Bxe4 26.Qxe4+-
21...c5 22.Qf3 Bc6 23.h4 Bd6 24.h5 Bxg3?!
this doesn't really impact the game situation, but now the dark squares around Black's king will be forever weak. All this for a pawn? Sign me up!
25.Bxg3 Nxh5 26.Bh4?!
not the greatest follow up, but I did have a reason for doing so. I realize that Be5 is better, but I didn't want him sacrificing the exchange to stem the tide. Also, I didn't want his light squared bishop to enter the game...you know my king and queen are on a sensitive diagonal. 26...Rc8 27.g4 Ng7 28.Rf2
It was here I realized what White's breakthrough square would be...h7...there's absolutely no way to protect it. It also prevents any forced trades of material on b5. I kind of wanted to keep my light-squared bishop.
28...Rf8 29.Rh2
29.Qf4 with the idea of invading on the dark squares right away.
29...gxf5
Can't be good to open lines against his own king
30.gxf5
30.Bf6! And I miss this winning maneuver...for example 30...Nce8 31.g5! with all kinds of options to follow up(31.Bxf5 this is simple enough to win too 31...Nxf6 (31...Qc7? 32.Bxh7+ Kh8 33.Be5 Qd8 34.Bf5+ Kg8 35.Rh8+ Kxh8 36.Qh3+ Qh4 37.Qxh4+ Kg8 38.Qh7#; 31...Nxf5? 32.gxf5 Nxf6 33.Qg3+ Kh8 34.Qe5 Qd8 35.Rg1 Rg8 36.Rxh7+ Kxh7 37.Qh2+ Nh5 38.Qxh5#) 32.Bxd7 Nxd7 33.Qh3) ]
30...f6 31.Rg1 Nce8 32.Bg3 Rf7 33.Bf4 Nd6 34.Qh3
I was giving serious consideration to lop of the knight which would have reduced his ability to protect the g7 knight but I decided against it. Why dampen my attack?
34...Kf8 35.Bh6?!
and here I think I miss my opportunity to seal the deal [35.Qh6 Ndxf5 36.Bxf5 Qxf5 37.Rhg2+-]
35...Nde8?
35...Ke8 and believe it or not, this move will actually save Black's game. White cannot press his initiative anymore. My opponent was in some pretty serious time trouble though.
36.Rhg2
Position after 36.Rhg2
32...b5 37.Ne2 c4 38.Bc2 Kg8 39.Nf4 Kh8 40.Ne6 Rc7 41.Bd1 Qc8 42.Bh5 with forced mate in about 8-9 moves.
Wasn't it Karpov who said to use all your pieces? I'm trying Toyla. What did I learn from my last encounter with Yermo? You have to be more patient than your opponent. It wasn't the easiest choice to slowly build. I had multiple ways to be violent about my pathway. 1–0
Alejandro Ramirez- 4.5/5
Alexander Yermolinsky and Carl Boor- 4/5
Michael Brooks, Ronald Burnett, Tim C. Steiner, Trevor S.Magness- 3.5/5
The Under 2000 section saw local Steve Saidi take top honors with a 5.0 perfect score. The under 1800 prize was taken by Wisconsin native Stephan F Desmoulin who gained 100+ rating points for his effort. Meanwhile, the under 1600-section saw a tie for first place between Joshua Fazekas and Gage L. Edgar. In the under 1400 section another cruise to victory was registered by Jianlin Ding, with four straight wins and a final round draw to clinch first. In the under 1200 section the provisional Ryan Joseph Slattery showed with a pointed sword that it is time to move into the next section with his perfect score. Finally, the cream of the crop in the under 900 section proved to be Stephan J. Zhang and Lucas M Johnson. They won all of their games except when they played and drew each other in round three.


Nominate myself as Vendor Getter. Got a plan this year that I can keep working on them.
About me incase you don't know, I have been to Bfest since 2005 except 2013. I held Bfest in 2015 on the Ms Gulf Coast and we did not have the biggest turnout but the best Slap Ya Mama & Southern Cooking the Picnic has ever seen!!!
I second Ken... We need someone who is excited to be involved and gather vendors, deals, and sponsors for our event. The more we can get the better the event can be for everyone! Free swag and raffle items!!! Also potential exposure if any sponsor wants to receive photos back to publish.

Jessica Simpson: OB/GYNs Warn Her Swollen Foot Could Be Sign Of Preeclampsia

Celebrity Baby Editor
Jessica Simpson, who's in the third trimester of her pregnancy, shared a shocking pic of her swollen foot asking for 'remedies.' HL spoke to two obstetricians who think the actress should contact her doctor ASAP.
Jessica Simpson, 38, should be in close contact with her doctor after the troubling picture she posted on Jan. 10. Asking for "remedies," the pregnant actress shared a close-up pic of her left foot, which was VERY swollen. And while her followers had all kinds of tips and tricks for Jessica, Dr. Linda Burke-Galloway, board-certified OB-GYN and author, spoke to Hollywoodlife.com EXCLUSIVELY about why Jessica should seek immediate help. Along with weight gain, high blood pressure, headaches and blurry vision, swollen feet are a symptom of preeclampsia, which is one of the top two reasons pregnant women die, along with postpartum hemorrhaging.
"Preeclampsia is a disease of the placenta, so the strict cure is to deliver the baby and get rid of the placenta," she explained. "Something in the placenta causes constriction of blood vessels and makes blood pressure go up. If left untreated, preeclampsia and progress and women can have a stroke, a seizure, or a pulmonary edema, which is too much fluid in the lungs." So scary! And since she's over 35, Jessica is actually more at risk of suffering from preeclampsia than younger pregnant women.
Recall Kenya Moore, 47, had to go into an emergency C-section in November when she was suffering from this same pregnancy complication. While her preemie Brooklyn arrived happy and healthy, it was very scary for the former reality star and her husband Marc Daly — and it all started with swollen feet, though there are other symptoms. "Swelling of the feet alone does not make a diagnosis of preeclampsia," Dr. Peter Weiss an OB/GYN at Rodeo Drive Women's Health Center in Beverly Hills EXCLUSIVELY shares. "Her feet are very swollen, but this is just one sign of many."
Jessica has been pregnant before with her kids Ace, 5, and Maxwell, 6, so hopefully she's experienced enough to ask her doctor or midwife for help instead of her Instagram followers.
Also, Dr. Daniel Roshan, OB/GYN, EXCLUSIVELY tells us, "Preeclampsia is when after 20 weeks of pregnancy blood pressure goes up above 140/90, protein appears in the urine and body gets swollen. It occurs in about 7% of pregnancies, mostly in first time mothers, risk factors are family history, obesity, diabetes, excessive weight gain, chronic hypertension, etc." The NYU School of Medicine Asst. Professor adds, "Lower extremity often gets swollen toward the end of the pregnancy, in the absence of hypertension its not preeclampsia, Elevating the feet, wearing stocking and making sure there is no blood clotting in the legs are important. Preeclampsia if its severe often requires premature delivery, as the only treatment for it is delivery. Preeclampsia is a very serious, patients should be seen often and very carefully to avoid complications of it."

KABK Teaching Tools Research G...
Published on March 28th 2019
In the monthly meetings of this group, participants work with the Design Lector and in close cooperation with the KABK Workshops to develop a pedagogical tool or toolset for use in the workshop, studio or classroom. In the first phase, participants are invited to define parameters and refine their research question in relation to the existing needs within their department and/or the academy at large. Based on this initial inquiry, participating tutors will develop a prototype to be tested out with students, the results of which will be documented and analysed. The insights gained and the (prototype) tools developed in this process will be made available to the wider KABK teaching community.
The Teaching Tools Research Group 2019 was chaired by Alice Twemlow, head of Design Lectorate.

COMBINING CRAFTING, REFLECTING AND THINKING IN THE ARTISTIC PROCESS: A TEACHING METHOD
Even though the marketing rhetoric of many art academies seeks to elide the differences between making and thinking and to present them as undivided wholes, the locations in which they are taught remain separate. Theory classes continue to be taught in classrooms, seminar rooms, libraries and lecture theatres, whilst instruction of materials experimentation and making skills take place in workshops, ateliers or project spaces. As a consequence, it is difficult to bring the worlds of theorizing, reflecting and making together. This research project aims to develop a teaching method that helps to bring these processes (back) together.

As a theory teacher, Vibeke Gieskes has developed courses at various art schools where she experimented with ways to merge these processes, including the IST course 'Crafting your Thinking, Reflecting your Craft' at the KABK. For this course, students follow a trajectory integrating theorizing, technical apprenticeship, analysing, writing, making, drawing, producing work and reflection, which is guided by both workshop instructors and the IST tutor.
One of the students of the IST Lab 'Crafting your Thinking, Reflecting your Craft' gets guidance from one of the workshop instructors on how to make a blouse. The student studies in the department of Interactive Media Design and was determined to make his own handmade blouse. After many experiments, testing, trial and error, he succeeded in making a wearable garment for himself. He learned about crafting by hand, about how he disliked the process of slow making and did in-depth research into the philosophical concept of nihilism—a notion he was meeting during his process of making. The student wrote reflections on his way of going through the artistic process and learnt about his way of processing such a long-term project. Image credit: Vibeke Gieskes.

Interaction between methods, documentation and data in design research (Nimkulrat, 2009)
This year, the course is offered for the fourth time. It has evolved each time based on trial and error. Shaping the educational method has become a research project in itself, revolving around the question, What teaching methods most effectively bring together reflection/research/theoretical aspects of learning with doing and making to ensure that the artistic process can optimally benefit?
Keywords: collaboration, failure, hesitation, educational space, play, experiment, writing, tools, reflection, crafting, making, workshop, process, interdisciplinarity.
VIBEKE GIESKES is an independent educator, editor, curator and project manager in the field of arts and architecture.

GABRIEL .A. MAHER & CARLY ROSE BEDFORD, tutors, BA Interior Architecture & Furniture Design
QUEER AND FEMINIST PEDAGOGICAL FRAMEWORKS WITHIN ART AND DESIGN EDUCATION AT KABK
Maher and Bedford posit that power is articulated by and reproduced through a number of dynamics that are mutually constitutive; through material space, embodied space and conceptual space. They aim to locate and name where these phenomena exist within KABK and to focus on three pedagogic situations of direct interpersonal engagement where both the body and the subjectivity (of tutor and student) can be entwined within power dynamics, hierarchy and bias, namely:
tutor to tutor
tutor to student
They will study a selection of willing departments across the KABK, starting with their own (IA&FD). They want to see how the deployment of feminist/queer methodologies, discourse and strategies might transform all three points of interpersonal interaction, with a view to enhance creative decision making and problem-solving processes within a pedagogical environment.
What is the potential for feminist and queer pedagogical frameworks within the institutional practices of the KABK?
How could these frameworks enable both physical and dialogical vocabularies for students and teachers to co-create the conditions of creative production, an institutional safe space and open other spaces of being and becoming?

BIOS:
GABRIEL .A. MAHER is a tutor in BA Interior Architecture & Furniture Design. With a practice established in Interior Architecture and Social Design, Maher's work centres on critical and analytical approaches to design and research–and, more specifically, on the effects of design and designing on bodies and the shaping of identity. Maher's position and approach questions design and media practices through queer and feminist frameworks. To articulate, physicalise and activate this position, Maher seeks to create situations where research and design come together in performance. Pedagogic exchange is integral to this approach. Besides tutoring at the KABK, Maher mentors at the Design Academy Eindhoven. For these institutions, Maher collaborates with students on relationships between gender and identity in design as well as performativity. These collaborations work to establish accountable foundations from which to approach design practice. Maher uses the gender pronouns they/them/theirs.
CARLY ROSE BEDFORD teaches in BA Interior Architecture & Furniture Design. Bedford is a multidisciplinary artist who works across a diverse spectrum of mediums, from performance to sculptural installation to text. Her work balances a meditation on how materials stimulate affective responses within the body and a critical analysis of hierarchies and power structures in society. Her way of approaching these two interrelated issues could be defined as giving materials and objects agency to 'perform' queerly. This approach allows for nuanced propositions that enact queer thematics without always reverting to representations of the body and identity politics. She is also engaged in a long-term research project into methods for institutional critique that considers ways to engage power structures within institutions through a process of pedagogical exchange, positioning, workshops and exhibition-making. Besides tutoring at the KABK, Bedford mentors at the Institut für Künstlerische Keramik und Glas in Koblenz, Germany.
MICHIEL PIJPE, tutor, BA ArtScience and MA ArtScience
ALTERNATIVE IMAGES FOR THE SCIENTIFIC CULTURE
As humanity looks into the deepest parts of galaxies and the smallest aspects of subatomic spaces, the images created to document such endeavours have become increasingly abstract and technical. Recorded data is reproduced and presented repetitively and, subsequently, become the standard for our worldview(s). This is why the ability to both interpret these images and understand the processes behind their production is crucial to our understanding of the world and the ways in which we look at it.
Michiel Pijpe is interested in being wedged in the ambiguity of the conversation between artistic and scientific representation. Through his art practice, he became intrigued by the aesthetics of various representations used in scientific fields, including earth-sciences and astronomy, particularly in the historical narrative and traditions behind them. After all, the 'scientific image' has always been constructed and augmented by a combination of technical innovations, (geo-)political motives and various belief systems. In this research project, Pijpe seeks to develop a new teaching tool to convey conceptual knowledge about the organisation and representation of scientific images through proposing and creating an alternative scientific image.

MICHIEL PIJPE has taught at the ArtScience Interfaculty since 2008. For more than a decade, he has been developing an image-making procedure that combines optics, light and fluid mechanics to create a visual technology exposing forms and textures found in various chemical potentials. The results from this process are translated and presented in a variety of photographic techniques. Alongside this ongoing visual research, Pijpe has developed several site-specific, theatrical and performative installations that have been presented in a variety of venues in The Netherlands, including WORM Rotterdam, Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ, Paradiso, Het Veem Theater and Frascati in Amsterdam, Baltan Laboratories in Eindhoven, De NWE Vorst in Tilburg and Theater aan het Spui/ZAAL3 in The Hague. International venues include The Greenroom in Manchester (UK), the Salone di Mobile, Milan (IT) and CTM in Berlin (DE).
NIELS VIS, tutor, Preparatory Year – i.c.w. Merel van 't Hullenaar
THE other ACADEMY
In their work, artist duo Van 't Hullenaar & Vis investigate different forms of 'survival' encountered in artworks, focussing on the material and immaterial aspects of how ideas live on. They look at how historic artworks are tied to the dead-or-alive state of the artist as a persona and speculate on forms of future immortality for both artworks and their makers. Currently, they are working on a multimedia piece titled I Was Here, where they present a fictional journey in which they discuss their own positioning as 'future immortal artists'.
How will artists and designers survive in the future? What tools will they need?
Extending this theme into the realm of pedagogy, Van 't Hullenaar & Vis have initiated an experimental space, known as The other Academy (ToA), which involves the development of a frame of mind to be shared with art students as a parallel reality, an undefined space, a multi-dimensional potential. They will develop the ToA framework by working collectively with students and tutors to explore the following research questions:
What role will artists and designers play in a future post-work society where only the embodied knowledge of the artist holds any 'real' value?
What should this new form of embodied knowledge consist of and how can digital technology assist us in building and conveying this knowledge?

NIELS VIS is a tutor in the Preparatory Year at the KABK. Since 2004, he has been working with Merel van 't Hullenaar on projects that focus on contradictions between the human experience of time and scientific definitions of time. Through several installation pieces, such as -1 MomentaaN ('04) and Simultaneous Models ('07), they aim to rearrange conventional experiences of past, present and future for the spectator. In addition to collaborating on projects as a duo, they have realised work as independent artists, formed collectives with other makers and were sometimes more active as mediators. They each participated in an MA program: Vis at the Piet Zwart Institute (2005-7) and Van 't Hullenaar at the Sandberg Institute (2003-5). The multidisciplinary artist duo works from their studio in Amsterdam on a set of interrelated research-based projects titled The Man-Made History of Today.
KATARINA ZDJELAR, tutor, MA Artistic Research
PRACTICE OF FEMALE FRIENDSHIP
In this project, Katarina Zdjelar explores the question of female affection as a political, aesthetic and artistic concern with relevance to art and design education. The first part of the research involves excavation and analysis of relevant historical practices–including pre-monastic and convent-based formations and epistolary practices (such as the Beguines and works of Afra, Roswitha, Teresa of Ávila and Juana Inés de la Cruz) in order to draw a line of descent and create a foundation on which ideas of community, creativity and cooperative labour can be built and developed.
Although the project starts with an understanding of historical context, its main direction is generative–it is located in the here and now and 'looking forward'. Therefore it also engages with contemporary speculative models, art practices and discourses, which can serve as tools to unlock the potential of female friendship—not only as the intimacy of a personal relationship but also as a politically affective state of being. Ultimately, the aim is to sharpen and refine collaborative and multi-vocal aesthetics in conceptual and formal terms asking: What are the formal consequences, technical possibilities and aesthetic potentials of such a practice? How do questions of women's homosociality and their histories emerge in the practicalities of formalising this interest in an artistic and technical way?

Keywords: feminism, friendship, solidarity, multi-vocal aesthetics, female alliances.
KATARINA ZDJELAR is a core tutor for Studio Practice at the MA Artistic Research. Originally from Serbia, she is a graduate of the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, where she currently lives. In her videos, sound works and other projects, Zdjelar examines how people behave by reinventing their identities through a choreography of language, voice and body language as they move between different situations and cultures. These artistic interests find their focus in the creation of different platforms for speculation, knowledge building and exchange. Zdjelar also teaches in the Fine Art program of Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam. In 2017, Zdjelar was shortlisted for the Dutch Prix de Rome and won the Dolf Henkes art prize. She has exhibited extensively throughout Europe, including at the Muzeum Sztuki Lodz, Kunstverein Bielefeld, The Serbian Pavilion of the 53rd Venice Biennial, MACBA Barcelona, MNAC Bucharest, De Appel Contemporary Art Centre (Amsterdam), 5th Marrakech Biennale, The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery Toronto, Witte de With Centre for Contemporary Art (Rotterdam), HMKV in Dortmund, MuHKA Antwerpen, and the Total Museum of Contemporary Art Seoul.
The Lectorate Design is located in the Royal Academy of Art The Hague

From the very first phone call to Charlene, meeting with Aaron, through the installation with Justin, Gabe and Jason to Eric final test, it has been a pleasure to deal with your company. We felt very comfortable with not only the business knowledge everyone possessed, but also the conduct of you in our home.
We've been installing and servicing Mini-Split systems for the last thirty years. These components are among the most efficient methods of heating and cooling your home. Advancements in technology have greatly increased the popularity of Mini-Splits especially over the last five years. Compared to conventionally ducted systems, Mini-Splits offer higher efficiency with lower cost of installation. The indoor and outdoor units are also often much quieter and more effective at dehumidifying your home. While often referred to as "ductless" systems, this technology is also available in ducted models for compartmentalized areas or when wall space is a concern. Call on us today to set an appointment with one of our Comfort Consultants and explore your options with practical and efficient Mini-Splits.


We are very excited to announce the launch of new feature on the Physioplus platform which adds the ability to use your account activity log as an eportfolio for recording your learning activities that happen in the "real world"! Read more about this new facility in the related Physiospot post.
We are excited to have just released 2 short courses related to the assessment and rehabilitation of running athletes. These have been developed in partnership with Ari Kaplan and Doug Adams of the Association of Clinical Excellence and offer a great introduction to this complex topic.
We are excited to release the first course by Mandy Roscher which provides an introduction to Motivational Interviewing (MI). This will introduce you to a set of communication techniques and skills that are key tools in facilitating sustained behaviour change in your patients, which will ultimately greatly improve outcomes in their management. We hope you enjoy the new course!
We have been very busy working on an update to our original, very popular course exploring physical activity and the associated role of the physiotherapy profession. Today we are very excited to announce that we have now released this completely revised programme consisting of 5 separate courses giving an even more comprehensive review of this extremely important topic. Check the new programme using the link below!
We have many new exciting courses in the pipeline for the next few months.

This first course reviews different pharmacological pain management drugs including the actions and side-effects that are important to understand as a practising physiotherapist. We hope that you find this course interesting and useful!
We are very excited to release the first in our series of four ethics courses. This course introduces ethical principles and values. Ethics is something which concerns us all, in the decisions we make and how we practice every day. However ethics is not something that we often spend time to consider and reflect on. Hopefully these four courses will provide an opportunity for an investigation and reflection, and will stimulate you to think about these very important issues and perhaps discuss your thoughts with your colleagues. We hope you enjoy the courses!
Reflection is a set of skills we all need to consciously develop if we are to improve as practitioners. However this is a topic that we often struggle with and perhaps even avoid! To try to address this we took the opportunity to speak with two experienced advocates of clinical reflection. Based on these conversations we have just released two short courses where you can benefit from their advice and insights. We hope you enjoy them!
We are very pleased to announce that we have now released all four shoulder courses. Introduction to the Shoulder, Shoulder Assessment, Clinical Presentations of Shoulder Pain and Therapeutic Interventions for the Shoulder. Each of these courses can be completed separately and will provide a related course completion certificate. You can choose to start with the introduction course and follow the four courses in order, or just dip in to the course that takes your interest. Go to the courses page and search for "shoulder" to find out more.

Song of the Week – Crossfire, Stevie Ray Vaughan
November 2, 2019 by Tom Muscarella
Ignored Obscured Restored
Back in the early '80s, I tuned in to Austin City Limits one night to see an episode featuring a guitarist named Stevie Ray Vaughan. At the time I hadn't heard of the guy. But I was really impressed with his guitar playing even though I wasn't familiar with most of his repertoire because, as I'm ashamed to admit, I didn't yet know who he was. But when he played the familiar cover of Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" I was blown away. I knew immediately this guy could play guitar.
From that point I began to follow Vaughan and became a big fan. Too bad his life was cut short in a helicopter crash in 1990, at the age of 35. The real shame of it is that after many years of drug and alcohol abuse, Vaughan was finally getting straight. In fact, his last studio album with his band Double Trouble, In Step (1989), was a reference to the sobriety he reached through a 12 Step program.
So, today's SotW is my favorite track from In Step, "Crossfire."
"Crossfire" opens with a funky baseline and solid beat that leaves room for an organ riff and a few nicely placed guitar stabs. Vaughan gives an impassioned vocal performance and whips off some tasteful guitar solos. In the last 30 seconds, Vaughan plays a very cool, staccato run of notes that lifts the song to another level just before it ends.
The "Crossfire" writing credit was given to the full band – Vaughan, Tommy Shannon (bass), Chris Layton (drums) and Reese Wynans (keyboards). The cut also has a horn section made up of Joe Sublett on sax and Darrell Leonard on trumpet.
Enjoy… until next week.
