SKOLKOVO Energy Centre
SKOLKOVO Business School
We believe that it is only through dialog that it is possible to find answers to the most difficult challenges facing the Russian fuel and energy sector. Therefore, one of the most important areas of our work is the organization of multilateral industry dialogues between Russian and foreign energy companies, authorities and the expert community with the aim of promoting the efficient development of fuel and energy industries.
The SKOLKOVO Energy Center is an ideal platform for conducting informal international dialogues and meetings between experts. We have created a unique set-up for regular interaction between power companies, experts and government authorities to discuss the strategic outlook for the sector's development: the SKOLKOVO Energy Club. The Energy Club Dialogues cover the following areas: Oil, Gas, Arctic and New Energy. By dividing the dialogues into these topics, we are able to amass together the stakeholders who are the most relevant to each particular area and have in-depth discussions on various aspects of energy development. The meetings are usually held "behind closed doors", and discussions are carried out under the Chatham House Rule, which is common practice for leading global expert discussion panels (participants can report on information disclosed during a meeting, but the source of the information must not be explicitly of implicitly identified). This encourages highly efficient communication during discussions of fundamentally important issues for the industry.
Oil Dialogue
SKOLKOVO Energy Club holds First Oil Dialogue
The SKOLKOVO Energy Center has set up a new format for regular interaction between energy companies, experts and the authorities to discuss the strategic development prospects of the sector – the SKOLKOVO Energy Club, which will host dialogs on areas such as Oil, Gas and New Energy. On May 14-15, the Oil Dialogue kicked off with the foresight session "Russia's Oil Industry in 2030 – Outlook and Scenarios of Development". The main objective was to gather together government representatives, business heads and leading experts on an independent platform to informally discuss ways of the oil industry development until 2030. The format of the foresight session encouraged a free and constructive dialogue between all the parties interested in efficiently developing the domestic oil industry.
Speakers at the general sessions included Andrei Sharonov, the President of the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO; Alexey Kudrin, the Chairman of the Council of the Center for Strategic Research; Bassam Fattouh, the Director of the Oil Programme at the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies and Michael Wade, Professor of Innovation and Strategy at IMD and Cisco Chair in Digital Business Transformation.

The program was made up of general sessions as well as work in project groups. Among the topics under discussion were global trends, challenges and threats requiring a collaborative solution in the near future and other issues of importance for the industry. In total, over 50 guests, including representatives of government bodies, the corporate sector and expert organizations, took part in the foresight session. The session was carried out under the Chatham House Rule, which is common practice at global conferences attended by leading experts. The Rule means that participants can say the event took place and mention who attended, but they may not publicly disclose information concerning the statements of other participants. This set-up encourages highly efficient communication during discussions of fundamentally important issues for the industry.
The results of the two days were presented at the final session, which was attended by representatives of government authorities and leading oil and gas companies: Arkady Dvorkovich, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation; Alexey Texler, First Deputy Minister of Energy; Kirill Molodtsov, Deputy Minister of Energy; Alexander Dyukov, Chairman of the Board of PJSC Gazprom Neft; Evgeny Tolochek, President of RussNeft; Nail Maganov, CEO of PJSC Tatneft, and Gokhan Saygi, President of Russia & Central Asia at Schlumberger Limited.
"I want to thank all of our guests for finding the opportunity to take part in this dialog. I am sure that the time invested by the participants of the foresight session in the sector-wide discussion was well spent. A 'frank and open' learned discussion among professionals and decision-makers on the pressing needs and problems affecting the industry is perhaps one of the most important levers to facilitate the efficient development of Russian energy" – remarked Tatiana Mitrova, Director of the SKOLKOVO Energy Center.
Gas Dialogue
First Gas Dialogue
The SKOLKOVO Energy Club is continuing with its aim to ensure regular interaction between companies operating in the energy sector, government authorities and experts to discuss the strategic prospects for the development of Russian oil, gas and power industries. The Energy Club held a Gas Dialog on July 6. The main objective of the session, entitled "Market Pricing for Gas: The Role of the Gas Exchange Trading" was to outline the international experience in developing exchange trading in gas, and to promote an informal, constructive dialog on the development of the Russian gas market among all stakeholders. Speakers at the event included Andrei Sharonov, President of the Moscow SKOLKOVO School of Management; Tatiana Mitrova, Director of the Energy Center; James Henderson, Director of the Natural Gas Programme at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies and Patrick Heather, Senior Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies.
During the dialog, important issues facing the industry, such as the need to promote market pricing in the Russian gas market, as well as the international experience in developing exchange trading in natural gas and the lessons it can teach Russia, were discussed. The session also covered the challenges and threats facing the market and global trends that require a cross-industry solution. As at the Oil Dialog held in May, everything discussed at the Gas Dialog came under the Chatham House Rule, meaning that information shared by participants could not be publicly disclosed without their consent, thereby encouraging effective communication during the discussion of issues of fundamental importance for the industry.
The final session of the Gas Dialog was attended by representatives of government bodies and leading oil and gas companies, including the Ministry of Economic Development, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia, PJSC NOVATEK and PJSC NK Rosneft.
"We are grateful to all the participants of the Gas Dialog for the time they spent discussing the topical and burning issues facing the gas industry. I am convinced that an open and honest conversation among professionals is one of the most effective ways to develop the Russian energy industry", said Tatiana Mitrova, director of the SKOLKOVO Energy Center.
Second SKOLKOVO Gas Dialogue
The Energy Club of the SKOLKOVO business school continues its work, aiming to ensure that the companies operating in the fuel and energy sector, government authorities and the expert community have regular informal interaction on strategic issues of the Russian energy sector development.
The second Gas Dialogue was held on the campus of the SKOLKOVO business school on the 18th of October. Its main theme was "Market pricing for gas: the role of gas exchange trading". The main objective of the meeting was to discuss the ways of developing gas pricing in Russia, primarily in the context of gas exchange trade, taking into account foreign experience and specific features of the Russian energy sector.
The guests were welcomed by Andrei Sharonov, President of the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO. Tatiana Mitrova, Director of the Energy Centre, spoke about the results and key conclusions of the first dialogue. James Henderson, Director of the Natural Gas Programme at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, Patrick Heather, senior fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies and Zlata Sergeeva, a junior analyst at the Energy Center also made presentations to the participants of the Gas Dialogue.
Participants discussed not only the current state of gas trading at SPIMEX and the regulators' further plans for its development, but also the issues of access to the GTS, the introduction of potential reselling of gas and futures for gas deliveries and the attitude of consumers to gas trading. As usual, the discussion was held under the Chatham House rule, which implies non-disclosure of the specific content of the participants' statements without their consent. This makes it possible to create an atmosphere of the most effective communication while debating the issues which are of key importance for the industry.
The second Gas Dialogue was attended by representatives of the state authorities and top oil and gas companies: the State Duma, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Energy, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia, NOVATEK PJSC, Gazprom PJSC and the largest gas consumers. "Discussing strategically important and exciting topics in the gas industry in a relaxed atmosphere is becoming a good tradition, which is undoubtedly fruitful and contributes to the effective development of the Russian fuel and energy sector" - summed up the meeting Tatiana Mitrova, Director of the Energy Centre of the SKOLKOVO business school.
New Energy Dialogue
The first EU-Russia Conference "Energy Transition: The New Paradigm" took place with the assistance of the Energy Center.
An international conference entitled Energy Transition: The New Paradigm, was held in Moscow on June 29, organized by the Energy Center of the SKOLKOVO Business School in cooperation with the EU Representative Office in Russia, embassies of the EU countries in Russia (Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Finland), and the Higher School of Economics. The conference was held within the framework of the EU Climate Diplomacy Week, a global initiative of the EU aimed at combatting climate challenges and promoting sustainable development.
The conference had several goals: to highlight global trends in energy transformation and their eventual impact on the Russian fuel and energy complex and on the country's economy; to evaluate the technical potential, costs, and benefits of a diversified energy policy that will pay more attention to the active use of new technologies of renewable energy sources in Russia; and to analyze technological, structural, and regulatory challenges for the energy transition in Russia.
The event was attended by EU and Russian energy companies, representatives of governmental authorities, as well as by experts from think tanks and non-governmental organizations, and members of the mass media. This event became a platform for open discussion and productive dialogue among the main participants of the energy field of Russia and the EU. The conference was addressed by representatives of Russian governmental bodies (Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Economic Development, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the State Duma Committee on Energy), EU Delegations and EU Embassies in Russia, Russian energy companies, Russian branches of international energy companies (BP, Siemens, GasTerra, ENEL, Rosatom , Windlife, Gazprom Neft, LUKOIL, Shell, etc.), members from research and educational institutions (the Energy Center of the SKOLKOVO Business School, the Analytical Center for the Government of the Russian Federation, the Higher School of Economics, the Energy Delta Institute), and non-governmental organizations (REN21, the Energy Consumers Association, the Russian Association of the Wind Power Industry, Greenpeace, WWF, etc.).
Conference participants discussed a wide range of subjects, such as the activities of the European Union and Russia regarding energy transition and climate; energy transition in the world; private companies' viewpoints on energy transition and climate with an emphasis on the transformation of the energy business towards ecological compatibility; renewable energy sources and the potential of using new technologies in hard-to-reach regions of Russia; and the challenges and possibilities relating to energy transition for Russian energy policy and economic policy.
A press conference for the event was held at which there was a presentation of the 2017 Global Status Report (GSR) on Renewables, the most comprehensive annual overview of the status of renewable energy in the world, published recently by the international agency REN21. In answering questions from journalists, Christine Lins, Executive Secretary of the REN21 agency, noted that a strengthening of cooperation on renewable energy between the EU and Russia would not only help to fight climate problems in the region, but also would help Russia take a leading position in the field of energy transition.
"Energy efficiency is not just a slogan, it is one of the most cost effective ways to support the transition to a low-carbon economy and a crucial policy to help implement the Paris Agreement. To support and accelerate the global transition to a low-emission and climate-resilient future, the EU continuously and relentlessly forges new partnerships around the world. We have accumulated experience in developing and implementing ambitious climate policies and we are ready to share our experiences and lessons learned", said Vygaudas Ušackas, the EU Ambassador to the Russian Federation.
Alexey Texler, First Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation, commented in his welcoming remarks: "We are pleased that the cooperation between the EU and Russia on renewable power generation issues is being developed. This is of fundamental importance for energy policy in the 21st century. Strategy for the development of renewable energy sources should serve as the basis for the power industry of the future. The dialogue between Russia and the EU already forms the foundation for the transformation of the global power generating industry".
The Energy Center of the SKOLKOVO Business School was not only the organizer of the conference but was also a key participant. Tatiana Mitrova, Director of the Energy Center, moderated two sessions. Romas Samsonov, Head of the Gas and Arctic Section, and Alexey Khokhlov, Head of the Power Engineering Section, both participated actively in the roundtables and panel discussions.
"The challenges for world energy can be overcome only through the joint actions of all stakeholders who are interested in the stable and continuous development of the energy sector. We as co-organizers of this event see our mission in helping to promote a dialogue between the EU and Russia on the transition to a new architecture of the energy sector, which can help make tomorrow's world a far better place than it is today. I am sure this event constitutes a big step in that direction", asserted Tatiana Mitrova, Director of Energy Center of the SKOLKOVO Business School.
The Arctic Dialogue
The Energy Center of the SKOLKOVO Business School Hosted a Working Session on the Upcoming Arctic Dialogue
The Energy Center of the SKOLKOVO Business School hosted a working session devoted to the upcoming Arctic Dialogue, an event to be held in Autumn 2017 in the form of a meeting bringing together Russian and foreign experts in this field, as well as representatives from government bodies and private companies responsible for implementation of Arctic development programs. The working session was attended by members of the Energy Center and by representatives from other leading scientific centers and educational institutions, as well as representatives from oil and gas companies, and environmental organizations. Personnel from Russia's key legislative and executive bodies (from both the federal and regional levels) were also in attendance.
The session was opened by Energy Center Director Tatiana Mitrova, with her esteemed colleague Roman Samsonov, a Doctor of Engineering Science and Head of the Gas and Arctic Sector of the Energy Center, serving as moderator. Deftly fulfilling that role, Dr. Samsonov presented a comprehensive overview of the many studies on the development of the Arctic previously conducted by research and corporate centers of the leading Russian oil and gas companies.
Professor Vladimir Yakushev, one of the leading Russian experts in the field, spoke to session participants about local energy supply management, and about new directions for the use of cryotechnologies and local natural resources such as gas hydrates. Doctor of Economics Julia Zvorykina, Director of the Northern Delivery project, shared her vision on solving fuel supply issues in the Arctic, noting in particular that almost all of the fuel has to be delivered from the central regions of Russia. This necessitates spending huge sums annually while simultaneously requiring the resolution of complex organizational and logistical problems.
Denis Tikhomirov, a leading expert at the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), discussed the Barents 2020 project, which was implemented by Gazprom VNIIGAZ in collaboration with Norway's DNV in 2007-2009, and laid the groundwork for the creation of a special technical Committee, ISO's Arctic Operations. In another outstanding presentation, Moscow State University Professor Yuri Ampilov emphasized that first and foremost, active work in the Arctic requires the development of infrastructure.
Alexander Kim, representing VIS, a large engineering and construction company that works in the Arctic via a public-private partnership, spoke about their largest project, the Northern Latitudinal Railway, which in tandem with the development of the Northern Sea route will open up new opportunities for the comprehensive development of the entire Arctic region, including the development of trade and industry.
All the participants were in unanimous agreement that it is necessary to study the problems caused by human industrial activity in the Arctic and also agreed that given the natural features of the Arctic, it is necessary to impose the higher requirements for technologies and ecological safety of work organization. Duma deputy Vladimir Pushkarev, who currently serves as Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Regional Policy and Problems of the North and the Far East, stressed that the ideas suggested during the working session should make valuable additions to the work that is already being conducted by the Federation Council for the Arctic Development.
Note: The Arctic Dialogue is a keynote event, though not the only one devoted to the study of Arctic region issues planned for 2017. The Energy Center of the SKOLKOVO Business School is currently conducting a number of international research projects in this field and has already proposed a wide range of programs and activities. In addition to the Arctic Dialogue – which is slated for Autumn 2017 and is intended as a free, informal mode of communication among world-class experts, national leaders, and experts responsible for corporate and state programs in this field– several learning and teaching sessions will be held. Meanwhile, the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO already has collaborative experience with administrations and companies working in the Russian Arctic zone, primarily the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, the Tyumen region, and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Both training and re-training programs cover various aspects of management and administration. Moreover, there is a successful program for the mayors of single-industry towns that are located in the Russian Northern and Arctic zones.
The first Arctic dialogue was held at the SKOLKOVO Energy Club on September 21, 2017
The Energy Club of the SKOLKOVO business school continues its work, aiming to ensure that the companies operating in the fuel and energy sector, government authorities and the expert community communicate regularly and informally on strategic issues of the Russian energy sector development.
Yesterday another discussion – the Arctic Dialogue took place at the club. This is the fourth event of this kind hosted by the club (the Oil Dialogue was held in May, the New Energy Dialogue - in June as part of the European Climate Week in Moscow and the Gas Dialogue took place in July this year). The purpose of the meeting entitled The Arctic as a Territory for Integrated Study and Development was to examine major long-term global and Russian trends and challenges in the development of the Arctic territories and outline the directions for further work within the setting of the Arctic Dialogue.
Guests at the Energy Centre of the Moscow School of Management included representatives of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, the Moscow State University, the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Oil and Gas Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences and other organisations and companies. Vladimir Pushkarev, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Regional Policy, the North and the Far East and State Duma Deputy, Dr. Lassi Heininen, Professor of Arctic Politics in the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Lapland (Finland), Yury Vazhenin, Member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, Tatiana Mitrova, Director of the Energy Centre and Roman Samsonov, Head of Gas and Arctic at the Energy Centre made presentations during the meeting.
Speeches by leading Russian scientists and world-class experts examined the main trends, challenges and potential directions of work. Presenters included professor Vladimir Bogoyavlensky, professor Yuri Ampilov, Head of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration department Alexander Balabanov, heads of consulting companies Mikhail Grigoriev, Alexander Vorotnikov, Dmitry Bogdanov, as well as Julia Zvorykina, the director of Northern Delivery project, Anton Sinitsky, Director of the Arctic Research Centre, Salekhard, and Konstantin Raikov from the Northern Arctic Federal University (Arkhangelsk).
The issues raised were those of importance for the Arctic region, including the environmental aspects of ensuring security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, regional priorities for industrial development and ensuring economic efficiency and investment attractiveness of new projects. Global trends requiring joint solutions at both governmental and company levels were also considered. The Arctic discussion, as well as the earlier dialogues, was held under the Chatham House rule, which implies non-disclosure of the specific content of the participants' statements without their consent. This facilitates open and effective communication. In conclusion of the meeting, Andrei Erofeev from Phytointeh, resident of Skoltekh (Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology), presented one of ten technological products which allows to resolve the issues of everyday life and nutrition of northerners.
"I express my gratitude to the participants of the Arctic Dialogue for their active contribution to the discussion on the most critical issues for the Russian Arctic. I am sure that the proposals that were voiced today in respect of the development of this strategically important region will be heard at the highest level and adopted in the near future," Tatyana Mitrova, Director of the Energy Center of the SKOLKOVO Business School, summed up the results of the dialogue.

Study Finds That Patient Safety Remains An Issue At Hospitals
Posted on 26th November 2010 by gjohnson in Uncategorized
hospital safety, medical malpractice, patient safety
Call me a cynic, but this headline doesn't surprise me: "Study Finds No Progress in Safety at Hospitals."
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/25/health/research/25patient.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper
In a Page One story this week The New York Times reported that a new study — which tracked 10 North Carolina hospitals from 2002 to 2007 — determined that patients were fairly commonly harmed, and those incidents were not declining.
Complications from procedures and drugs, as well as hospital-acquired infections, were the culprit in most cases, according to The Times.
Ironically the study, led by Dr. Christopher Landrigan of the Harvard Medical School, was conducted in North Carolina because hospitals there have instituted a lot of programs to improve patient safety. Instead, the research determined that roughly 18 percent of the patients were harmed by their medical care, and 63.1 percent of their injuries were considered preventable, according to The Times. Some 2.4 percent of the problems caused or contributed to a patient's death.
The preventable problems included: bad bleeding during an operation; breathing problems caused by a procedure that was not done correctly and a hip dislocation caused by a fall.
The North Carolina hospitals that were part of the study were not named. That was lucky for them, since the research found 588 cases where a patient was harmed by medical care, or 25.1 injuries per 100 admissions, according to The Times.
The study was published this week in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Malcolm X Glasses: Kanye and Jay-Z Rock'd It Best, Not You!
by Singersroom October 14, 2009
Kanye West, being the eyewear innovator that he is, began popping up at events with thick black rimmed Malcolm X look-a-like eyeglasses a couple of years ago, but it seems like since Jay-Z turned up in a pair at the Notorious premiere last January and at the inauguration last February with Beyonce, people have been copying the look to mixed results. This look makes sense for Kanye, who refers to himself as a genius, or for Jay-Z attending the inauguration of the first black President, but at last week's BET Hip Hop Awards, everybody had on a pair of thick black rimmed glasses. Don't they know they can't be like Jay?
Artists, including Bobby V and Raheem DeVaughn, needed their stylists to have coordinated before-hand because the Malcolm X look was all over the place. All these rappers and singers were trying to stand out but they ended up looking cookie-cutter. Valentino took the look a step further pairing the glasses with a bow-tie; apparently he was influenced by Chris Brown's appearance on Larry King. The other offenders seemed to throw the glasses on in an attempt to look like "that conscious brother," but it didn't go with anything else we know about them to this point.
Do we have to wait to see what Kanye or Jay do next, so we know what we should do?. What ever happened to originality – one of the founding principles of hip-hop? I appreciate a brother getting his intellectual on, but every trend may not be for everybody.

There are many different specialties in Forensic Psychology.
One aspect they all the forensic specialties have in common is that they work in conjuction with, or are commissioned by, the court system. As such, different skills are required, but also different confidentiality rules and ethic requirements apply than in conventional psychotherapy.
The following are just a few examples of the diversity of Forensic Psychology, it is by no means a complete list.
For Criminal Law, attorneys often seek counsel from a forensic psychologist to either gain a better understanding of their client, or to try and collect data that supports a certain direction they are trying to pursue in their case. Put in this role, the psychologist has be be very careful to remain neutral, and to conduct all assessments according to the latest peer reviewed and accepted practices.
Often what an attorney is looking for is a "Sentence mitigation" or a "Sanity Evaluation"
Sentence mitigation: Even in situations where the defendant's mental disorder does not meet the criteria for a not guilty by reason of insanity defense, the defendant's state of mind at the time, as well as relevant past history of mental disorder and psychological abuse can be used to attempt a mitigation of sentence. The forensic psychologist's evaluation and report is an important element in presenting evidence for sentence mitigation. In Hamblin v. Mitchell, 335 F.3d 482 (6th Cir. 2003), the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision of a lower court because counsel did not thoroughly investigate the defendant's mental history in preparation for the sentencing phase of the trial. Specifically, the court stated that such investigation should include members of the defendant's immediate and extended family, medical history, and family and social history (including physical and mental abuse, domestic violence, exposure to traumatic events and criminal violence). This issue was further addressed in Wiggins v. Smith and Bigby v. Dretke.
Sanity evaluations:The forensic psychologist may also be appointed by the court to evaluate the defendant's state of mind at the time of the offense. These are defendants who the judge, prosecutor or public defender believe, through personal interaction with the defendant or through reading the police report, may have been significantly impaired at the time of the offense. In other situations, the defense attorney may decide to have the defendant plead not guilty by reason of insanity. In this case, usually the court appoints forensic evaluators and the defense may hire their own forensic expert. In actual practice, this is rarely a plea in a trial. Usually any judgments about the defendant's state of mind at the time of the offense are made by the court before the trial process begins.
Other types of Forensic Psychology deal with Family Law, Labor Law, The Welfare and Institutions Code, or work closely together with the Medical community. One aspect all these specialties have in common is that they rely heavily on Forensic Assessments, in conjuction with skilled diagnostic interviews, and often significant knowlege of the legal codes in their particular field of expertise.
It is vitally important for any attorney to carefully chose the forensic expert they retain, either for expert testimony, or to perform psychological assessments. Any of the following items can be easy to overlook in light of the pressures and schedules of court work, the complexity that often emerges in the adversarial nature of litigation, and the difficulty of finding an expert who never makes a mistake.
But overlooking any of them can lead to invalid assessments, misleading testimony, and a variety of other serious problems.
Different experts will have their own ways of working with attorneys, selecting standardized tests and other assessment approaches, identifying factors that undermine validity, maintaining documentation, and so on. What is important is that each area represented by the items below be carefully addressed. Regardless of which psychologist you ultimately chose for your case, make sure that they adhere to all the important Ethical guidelines.
The following list (copyright held by the American Psychological Association) was created as a resource for those who conduct forensic assessments. Any attorney (or private party) who retains the services of a forensice psychologist, may benefit from the following checklist to make ensure a good match between the clinician and the case at hand. The Psychologist should be able to affirmatively answer each of the following points, or have a satisfactory alternative answer.
I've reached an explicit written agreement with the attorney or the court on the specific purpose and scope of the testing.
I have the relevant education, training, and experience to conduct a psychological assessment involving these issues.
I'm familiar with the current research studies and other relevant literature that address these issues.
There are no conflicts of interest or other factors that would undermine the fairness and validity of this assessment.
The tests and other psychological instruments or approaches selected for this assessment have shown adequate validity and reliability for these issues.
The tests and other psychological instruments or approaches selected for this assessment are appropriate for a person from this population and with these demographic characteristics.
I have the relevant education, training, and experience to conduct a psychological assessment using these tests, instruments, or approaches.
I have an up-to-date knowledge of the research concerning these tests, instruments, or approaches, including awareness of reliability and validity data and the demonstrated ability to identify efforts to "fake good" or to malinger.
I've reached an explicit written agreement with the attorney or court on deadlines.
I've reached an explicit written agreement with the attorney or court on fees (see Appendix A for sample agreement).
I've reached an explicit written agreement with the attorney or court on the nature and form in which the assessment will be reported (i.e., written report, deposition, trial testimony), including how, if at all, feedback on the assessment will be provided to the client.
I've reached an explicit agreement with the attorney or court on any relevant issues of privilege, confidentiality, and privacy, including any potential mandated reports or disclosures.
I've reached an explicit written agreement with the attorney or court on who (e.g., the expert witness, the attorney, the client, or someone else) will be responsible for obtaining additional documents or information (e.g., reports of previous assessments, assessment reports prepared by other expert witnesses in the case).
I've informed the client about the assessment and obtained appropriate informed consent (see Appendix B for a sample form).
I've determined whether there are any issues regarding vision, hearing, mobility, etc., that need to be addressed in the assessment and/or report.
I've determined whether there are any language (e.g., familiarity with English, reading difficulty) or cultural issues that need to be addressed in the assessment and/or report.
I've determined whether there are any acute or chronic physical illnesses, medications, disorders, or disabilities that need to be addressed in the assessment and/or report.
I've determined whether there are any other factors that may affect the validity of the assessment or that may require special attention.
I've ensured an adequately monitored environment for the assessment (e.g., the client had a quiet room -- free from conversation with and distraction by other people -- in which to complete the assessment; client did not take an instrument like the MMPI-2 home or elsewhere to fill out).
If the assessment included any instruments that needed to be scored, I've checked for any scoring inaccuracies.
If I've used a computerized interpretive report, I've evaluated each hypothesis set forth to determine whether there is evidence that it is basically accurate, basically inaccurate, or nonapplicable (completely inaccurate).
In any oral or written report, including deposition or courtroom testimony, I've explicitly noted any factors that may have influenced the validity of this assessment.
Throughout this assessment, I've tried to set aside preconceptions and avoid premature cognitive commitment, looking carefully for data that don't fit my emerging hypotheses and for alternative explanations for the data.
I've reviewed the legislation and case law in the relevant jurisdiction, APA's "Record Keeping Guidelines" (please follow this link for the Record Keeping Guidelines and other practice guidelines), and other relevant documents to ensure that I maintain adequate documentation of this assessment as long as required, and that I provide adequate security for the documentation.

Arizona PIRG Education Fund
Elections Confidential Report Reveals Role of Dark-Money Nonprofits and Shell Corporations in 2012
Nearly one-fifth of all business gifts to Super PACs were contributed by shell corporations
Mystery donors poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the 2012 elections via nonprofits and shell corporations, despite widespread public support for disclosure and decades of legal precedent supporting the public's right to know the sources of election-related spending. A new report from the U.S. PIRG Education Fund and the Center for Media and Democracy found that contributions from phony for-profit corporations accounted for nearly 17 percent of all business donations to Super PACs.
"We know that a handful of wealthy donors attempted to exert extraordinary influence on the 2012 election, but we don't know who—or what—actually provided much of the funding, or even if those funds came from American individuals or corporations," said Brendan Fischer, Staff Counsel at the Center for Media and Democracy.
"When voters cannot track money in elections, they cannot make informed decisions at the ballot box. When billionaires and corporations are able to sneak money in our elections through shady back channels, it conceals the undue influence of big money and prevents citizens from taking action to correct this distortion of our democracy," added report co-author Blair Bowie, Democracy Advocate for the Arizona PIRG Education Fund.
Due in large part to the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United v FEC, the 2012 election was the most expensive in the history of the world. While the Citizens United decision did open the door for increased campaign spending, the majority of justices in the Citizens United case also strongly reaffirmed the long-standing notion that the identity of campaign donors must be disclosed. Despite agreement that transparency was important, voters could only learn the source of two-thirds of all reported outside spending in the 2012 election. And when non-reported spending is added, the level of secrecy becomes even more extreme.
"Dark money" nonprofits that do not disclose their funders reported spending over $299 million in the 2012 election. In addition, because these groups largely ran "issue ads" that need only be reported when aired directly before primaries or on Election Day, the actual spending by nonprofits was certainly much higher.
"Electoral intervention is not supposed to be a non-profit's main activity, but these dark money groups are abusing their tax-exempt status by existing primarily as vehicles for corporations and wealthy donors to secretly influence elections," Fischer noted, adding, "Some dark money non-profits might now use lobbying as an accounting trick to balance their books between electoral and non-electoral spending, leading to a spiraling cycle of non-stop campaigning and special interest influence, but with zero transparency or public accountability."
Unlike political nonprofits, Super PACs must disclose the identities of their funders, but some donors sidestepped these transparency rules by forming "shell corporations" and using them to funnel close to $17 million to Super PACs. Of all Super PAC donations from business corporations, nearly seventeen percent came from shell corporations that appear to have been formed for no reason other than to filter money into elections and keep the true sources of the funds secret.
"Shell corporations undermine the integrity of our elections with their opacity, which, at best, circumvents campaign finance law to shield donors from accountability and, at worst, may launder foreign, criminal, even terrorist funds into U.S. elections," noted Bowie.
The report concludes with recommendations for every level of government to increase transparency and accountability in our elections.

16 "Brethren, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David, concerning Judas who was guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17 For he was numbered among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry.
22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us -- one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection."
23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsab'bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthi'as.
25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside, to go to his own place."
26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthi'as; and he was enrolled with the eleven apostles.
1 Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD!
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore!
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the LORD is to be praised!
4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens!

Jonatan Christie Makes His Mark With First Asian Games Badminton Gold Medal
BY :SHEANY
Jakarta. Facing some of the world's best players in a fierce tournament, Jonatan "Jojo" Christie said he did not expect to win gold at the 2018 Asian Games.
But the 20-year-old Indonesian shuttler came through to secure the nation's first badminton gold in this year's event with a 21-18, 20-22 and 21-15 victory over Chou Tien Chen of Taiwan on Tuesday (28/08).
The home crowd erupted in cheers the second Jojo scored his final match point in the men's singles final at the iconic Istora Senayan indoor arena inside Jakarta's Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex.
He removed his shirt in a celebratory gesture, to the delight of his supporters.
"Honestly, I didn't expect to win gold and I am convinced that this is a gift from God," Jojo said at a press conference after the match.
He dedicated the victory to his family, whom he said have shown relentless support in his sports career, and to his supporters, coach and team, as well as the Indonesian people.
"At the beginning of the match, I noticed Chou might have been a little nervous and tired, which I suppose became an advantage for me," Jojo said, adding that his opponent, who is the world No. 6, had played well but was a little less aggressive than anticipated.
Playing in front of his home crowd may have given Jojo an edge in the tournament. He affectionately described the Indonesian supporters, who packed the 5,000-seat sports hall to capacity on Tuesday, as amazingly spirited and loud.
"Indonesian supporters are amazing – their cheers are boisterous. And I am grateful [for their support]; it does not make me nervous at all. Instead, they greatly motivate me to perform better," Jojo said.
He added that an international multisport event such as the Asian Games helps to promote badminton to a wider audience.
"Maybe those who barely watched badminton in the past are now developing an interest because of the Asian Games, and they can now better understand the sport," he said.
Several officials and high-profile figures attended the match, including Chief Security Minister Wiranto, Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) chairwoman Megawati Sukarnoputri and Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan.
Immediately after securing the win, the star athlete hugged his mother, whom he said advised him not to be too easily satisfied and to always be grateful.
Jojo's performance in his Asian Games debut has been nothing short of impressive, seeing how it began with a shock win over world No. 2 Shi Yuqi of China in the opening round of the men's singles competition.
He followed this up with victories over Khosit Phetpradab of Thailand and Vincent Wong Wing Ki of Hong Kong in the quarterfinals before defeating Kenta Nishimoto of Japan in the semifinals.
Nishimoto is the world No. 10, while Jojo is ranked 15th by the Badminton World Federation.
Indonesia last won gold in a men's singles event at the 2006 Asian Games in Qatar, courtesy of now-retired Olympic and world singles champion Taufik Hidayat.
Badminton is Indonesia's most successful sport of all times, now having contributed 28 of the nation's Asian Games gold medals since 1962.
Giving His Best
Jojo said he felt like he was at the bottom, especially compared with other shuttlers, when he kicked off his 2018 Asian Games campaign.
More than 200 athletes from 20 countries competed in badminton at this year's event.
"But I gave it my best, and I think that's what this victory means for me – I'm happy because I've proven that I could do it," said Jojo, who hails from Jakarta and started playing badminton in 2005 as part of his school's extracurricular activities, after encouragement from his father.
He won a gold medal in the men's singles and team events at the 2017 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur. He also bagged gold as a member of the Indonesian men's team at the 2018 Badminton Asia Team Championships in February this year.
Next month, Jojo will be competing in three international badminton tournaments, which will take place in Japan, China and South Korea.
"The moment I step from the podium, I have to start again from the beginning. We have to get ready for our next competition," he said.
As a gold medalist, Jojo will receive a Rp 1.5 billion ($102,600) bonus, as promised by Sports Minister Imam Nahrawi, as an incentive to encourage more athletes to win medals at this year's Asian Games.
Jojo said he did not think about the bonus during the tournament and only focused on playing his best.
He plans to save some of the money, while giving the rest to those who have supported him so far in his career, and also to those in need, including victims of the Lombok earthquake.
"I want to share the gift that God has given me," he said.

Q: How do create a SOAP Web Client againt a wsdl file I have created a Web Service from a java class called PoliceDepartment.java.
I did that by doing:
Ctrl-n -> web service -> Server Implementation -> browse to source -> finish.
I have created a tomcat server and its running and all.
Even under threat of death I could not create the client.
I have the client code ready (see below).
Ctrl-n -> web service -> pass it the wsdl document.
Eclipse actually tried to override the PoliceDepartment.java class.
In any case, it does not create the Web Client.
What i need is to simply send a signal with parameters: createClient("blabla").
I imagine that there must be some tools that will create a proxy to the PoliceDepartment server that i can simply call from my java client.
If you know how to, please help me to achieve that.
Thanks for you help in advance.
That's the "client" parsing argument from the command line (it needs a proxy to send the parsed argument to the Web Service):

LANSING — State Sen. Rick Jones wants to stop "clogging up the court system" with teen drinking cases by making the first two offenses a civil fine instead of a misdemeanor.
LANSING – State Sen. Rick Jones wants to stop "clogging up the court system" with teen drinking cases by making the first two offenses a civil fine instead of a misdemeanor.
Jones, R-Grand Ledge, said he's crafting a bill that would make the first offense for a minor in possession of alcohol punishable with a $100 fine, and $200 for a second offense. Three-time offenders would face a misdemeanor charge under the legislation Jones hopes to introduce after the Legislature's upcoming spring break.
"As a former sheriff, I take underage drinking seriously, but I don't want a student to miss out on an employment opportunity because he or she got caught with a can of beer in high school or college," Jones, a retired Eaton County sheriff and chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was quoted as saying in a news release.

\mathscr{F} \{ x^2 (1+x^2)^{-2} \} ( \xi )
$$
All I could think of was
$$
-\frac{d^2}{d\xi ^2} \mathscr{F} \{ (1+x^2)^{-2} \}(\xi)
$$
but I don't know what to do next. I could solve this if the power of the expression was only $-1$.

A: \begin{align}
\mathscr F\left\{ x^2 (1+x^2)^{-2} \right\} ( \xi )&=\mathrm i\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm d\xi}\mathscr F\left\{ x(1+x^2)^{-2} \right\} ( \xi )\\&=\frac12\mathrm i\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm d\xi}\mathscr F\left\{\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}(1+x^2)^{-1} \right\} ( \xi )\\&=\frac12\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm d\xi}\xi\mathscr F\left\{(1+x^2)^{-1} \right\} ( \xi )\;.

Shropshire Star comment: Bullying in Commons is offensive
By Shropshire Star | Opinions | Published: Jul 12, 2019
Another week, another series of episodes that leave the British public wondering if political life in this country can possibly find any new depths to plunge.
As if Labour's anti-Semitism shame, the disgraceful treatment of Sir Kim Darroch, and the limp – and largely pointless – Tory leadership squabbles weren't bad enough, we have now been told that our Parliament is a hotbed of bullying and harassment.
According to a probe into the behaviour of MPs in Westminster, some of our elected members have helped to create a culture of abuse in the House, with the abysmal treatment of staff so commonplace that it has become accepted behaviour.
To the surprise of absolutely no-one, MPs have been queuing up to declare their shock since the publication of the report, with the vast majority of them telling anyone who cares to listen: "It weren't me, your honour."
As the report rightly points out, the House of Commons should be at the forefront of good employment practice, not languishing in the dark ages.
It paints an alarming picture of a seat of democracy that is already creaking thanks to our parliamentarians' collective efforts to stop Brexit from happening. It goes without saying that the type of bullying behaviour detailed in the report should not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Hopefully strong measures will be put in place in the very near future to dismantle this climate of abuse. Our MPs clearly need to start seeing the bigger picture.
In recent years there has been a drastic increase in the number of attacks on elected members, predominantly on social media. The murder of Jo Cox in 2016 should have been a watershed moment in terms of heralding in a kinder form of political discourse.
Yet some of our MPs still clearly believe it is acceptable to treat their staff in the most appalling manner.
We can only assume that the perpetrators believe they can get away with their bullying and abusive behaviour.
They must understand that the public in this country is frustrated. At the very least, we want to see our parliamentarians behaving in a respectable manner at all times. Is that really too much to ask?

Hi, my name is Bandu and I'm 10 years old. I live with my parents in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Both my parents have HIV and dad is too ill to work. Mum struggles to provide for 7 children on her own. I love school but sometimes have to stay home when I'm not feeling well. When I finish school I want to be a doctor because the doctor I go to see if very kind and makes me feel better. She explained to me that I was born with HIV but she is helping me to manage it.

What's happening at UW-La Crosse
Surpassing the goal
Posted 12:38 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 14, 2021
From noon on Dec. 1 until noon on Dec. 2, 1,407 donors united to raise $228,348 to transform lives at UWL, supporting funds for more than 50 causes — including scholarships, research, academic programming, athletics and more.
Inaugural Giving Day raises more than $228,000
The UW-La Crosse community came out strong during the university's inaugural Giving Day Dec. 1, making more than 1,500 donations toward worthy causes across campus.
Giving Day aimed to rally UWL alumni, employees, parents, students and friends in support of the university, and it did exactly that. Total donors were nearly three times the initial goal of 500. Of those donors, 49% identified as alumni, 39% identified as friends of UWL and 12% identified as UWL employees.
"This was a remarkable day for UWL and a testament to what it means to be a part of the UWL family," says Greg Reichert, vice chancellor of Advancement and president of the UWL Foundation.
The celebration was modified due to campus restrictions amid COVID-19, but members of the UWL Student Philanthropy Council (SPC) still engaged the UWL community via social media throughout the 24 hours. SPC members went live on Facebook eight times during the event, providing updates and highlighting different areas of campus to create interest and build momentum.
Recorded music presentations by the UWL Choir, Orchestra and piano student Monica Bertucci were featured to celebrate a $5,000 matching gift to the Music Department from Bob and Janet Roth.
Donors also submitted videos announcing their challenges to rally donors to join them in making gifts. The recordings and videos are available here.
"This event really showed the power of private giving and collective effort. Whether you made your first gift or your 50th, whether you gave $5 or $500, what matters is that we did it together for UWL," notes Taylor Wilmoth, annual giving director and SPC.
Social media ambassadors played a pivotal role on Giving Day, sharing university posts and making posts, seeking to get their friends involved. Exclusive UWL Giving Day socks were a part of this effort and plan to make a comeback in 2021.
The success of UWL Giving Day would not have been possible without support from the UWL family, near and far, says Wilmoth. Whether you made a gift (or two), shared an email, made a social media post or simply celebrated UWL on Dec. 1, you made a difference. The celebration starts with one day, but the effects of your generosity will be felt for years to come, she notes.

Q: Preventing N+1 in Rails query with associated model I have these models:
class KlassOccurrence < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :klass
end

class Klass < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :klass_occurrences
  belongs_to :user

  def next_occurrence_date
    self.klass_occurrences.order(scheduled_at: :desc).first
  end
end

And I have this in a controller:
@klasses = Klass.includes(:klass_occurrences).where(user_id: current_user.id)

And in a view I have this:
   <% @klasses.each do |klass| %>

        <%= klass.next_occurrence_date %>

    <% end %>

I would expect that because of the includes(:klass_occurrences) I wouldn't be seeing an N+1, but this is what I see in the logs:
User Load (0.4ms)  SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."id" = $1 ORDER BY "users"."id" ASC LIMIT $2  [["id", 3], ["LIMIT", 1]]
  ↳ app/controllers/klasses_controller.rb:4:in `index'
  Rendering klasses/index.html.erb within layouts/dashboard_layout
  Klass Load (0.2ms)  SELECT "klasses".* FROM "klasses" WHERE "klasses"."user_id" = $1  [["user_id", 3]]
  ↳ app/views/klasses/index.html.erb:13
  KlassOccurrence Load (4.3ms)  SELECT "klass_occurrences".* FROM "klass_occurrences" WHERE "klass_occurrences"."klass_id" IN ($1, $2)  [["klass_id", 1], ["klass_id", 5]]
  ↳ app/views/klasses/index.html.erb:13
  KlassOccurrence Load (1.8ms)  SELECT "klass_occurrences".* FROM "klass_occurrences" WHERE "klass_occurrences"."klass_id" = $1 ORDER BY "klass_occurrences"."scheduled_at" DESC LIMIT $2  [["klass_id", 1], ["LIMIT", 1]]
  ↳ app/models/klass.rb:6:in `next_occurrence_date'
  KlassOccurrence Load (0.3ms)  SELECT "klass_occurrences".* FROM "klass_occurrences" WHERE "klass_occurrences"."klass_id" = $1 ORDER BY "klass_occurrences"."scheduled_at" DESC LIMIT $2  [["klass_id", 5], ["LIMIT", 1]]
  ↳ app/models/klass.rb:6:in `next_occurrence_date'

Why is it doing three queries for klass occurrences? I would expect just one query to load all the occurrences for all the klasses, but then I see two extra queries.

A: If you just need the highest value of that column you can also just select an aggregate off the join table:
class Klass < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :klass_occurrences
  belongs_to :user

  def self.with_next_occurrence_date
    self.select(
         'klass.*',
         'MAX(klass_occurrences.scheduled_at) AS next_occurrence_date'
        )
        .left_joins(:klass_occurrences)
        .group(:id)
  end
end

@klasses = Klass.with_next_occurrence_date.where(user_id: current_user.id)

<% @klasses.each do |klass| %>

    <%= klass.next_occurrence_date %>

<% end %>

If you really need a model object you can do it by sorting the records in Ruby:
class Klass < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :klass_occurrences
  belongs_to :user
  def next_occurrence_date
    self.klass_occurrences.sort(&:scheduled_at).last
  end
end

And there are also a bunch of novel tricks to get ActiveRecord to load just one record off the association that are somewhat out of scope for this question.


The Battle of Britain: just how British was it?
This story was released on 27th June as part of Issue 4 of the Forces War Records Magazine. To view more content like this before General Release login to your Full Membership of Forces War Records or upgrade now!
One of the little known things about the Battle of Britain is how many of 'The Few' who fought it were, in fact, foreign or Commonwealth pilots. According to Len Deighton's 'Battle of Britain', 537 of the 3,080 men who flew – just under 20% – were not UK citizens, and that doesn't even take into account dual nationals who signed up under their British passports. Additionally, these non-British airmen accounted for 102 out of the 520 brave men who gave their lives in the battle, again just under 20%. They came from Poland, New Zealand, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, South Africa, Australia, France, Ireland, South Rhodesia, Jamaica and Palestine, and without their help 'Operation Sealion', the invasion of the UK, might have spelt the end of Europe as we know it.
We had, of course, plenty of British young men ready and willing to join the R.A.F., so why the huge influx of men from other countries? A look at the operational histories of both the British and German air forces just prior to the battle helps to answer that question. The R.A.F. had of course gone to help when our ally, France, was invaded by Germany, but the combined French and British air forces were not only hopelessly outnumbered (the Germans having twice as many planes available), but outclassed. While the British and the French had largely never seen combat before the lightning month-long takeover, the German pilots had been meticulously trained and had tested their skill in battle both while helping Franco to win the Spanish Civil War and during the invasion of Poland. Many of the soldiers rescued from Dunkirk afterwards complained bitterly that the air support had been non-existent. The R.A.F. had in fact been present, and working hard too – British pilots flew 171 reconnaissance missions, 652 bombings and 2,739 fighter sorties during the battle – but their efforts had been cancelled out by the far more numerous and practiced Luftwaffe.
So, the R.A.F. was dangerously short on both numbers and skilled airmen even before the Battle of Britain commenced, and once it began the planes and men were decimated. According to Len Deighton, in the first 9 days of the battle, up to 19th July, 118 British planes were lost, along with 80 Squadron and Flight Commanders. The R.A.F. risked extinction. With so many high ranking men being killed, and a need to replace them quickly, British pilots were being sent into battle with just 20 hours of experience on Hurricanes or Spitfires. This was not enough, and they soon followed their comrades to the grave. In desperation, the R.A.F. appealed to all of Britain's allies and the members of the Commonwealth for help. It was not hard to recruit men; many countries, as present or former members of the British Empire, felt duty-bound to help defend the shores of their parent island. Others volunteered out of a thirst for revenge on the conqueror of their home countries.
Well might the government praise them, as many of these foreign pilots were very skilled, having had better, more extensive training and greater combat experience than most of our pilots. Many had flown against the Germans before when their countries had fallen, and were extremely good at shooting. 'Battle of Britain' attests that in a gunnery contest that took place in April 1942, with 22 squadrons competing, Polish squadrons 303, 316 and 315 scooped all three top spots. In September 1940 303 squadron achieved the highest kill rate in Fighter Command, and 7 ½% of all aircraft destroyed in the Battle of Britain were taken care of by the vengeful Poles.
In fact, a lot of the 'aces' were not British; of the Top 10 on the Allied side of the battle, at least half were from other nations. This was inevitable, since when the best of the British pilots were killed, equally skilled replacements were needed. The most outstanding airmen and tacticians from the Commonwealth and other Allied nations were of course the first to volunteer, and these men were immediately shuffled into prominent positions and given ample opportunities to face the enemy. At a time when manpower was so desperately needed, no talent was overlooked for long. Then, after the outdated Gloster Gladiator was phased out and the production of the much more sophisticated and speedy Hurricanes and Spitfires was stepped up, the pilots had better equipment to work with and were more likely to make kills and emerge victorious.
The overall top scorer of the Battle of Britain, it seems (bearing in mind that few lists and books agree on each individual pilot's ranking), was UK pilot Eric Lock. He scored 21 kills, flying first with 41 Squadron, then as Flight Commander of 611 Squadron after he was seriously wounded while crash-landing. He was awarded the DFC and Bar and the DSO, but did not survive the war. There is some debate over whether fellow British pilots James Lacey and Archie McKellar come next on the list, or whether the first foreign pilot enters at number 2. Anyway, it is certain that Josef Frantisek was the top Czechoslovakian pilot of the battle, and one of the top 5 'aces'. Before joining 303 Squadron he flew first in both Czechoslovakia and Poland, then laboriously made his way to Britain via internship in Romania, from which he escaped, and France, where he again flew. He claimed 17 victories in the Battle of Britain, for which he was awarded the DFM. He, too, died shortly after the battle when his plane crashed. New Zealand's top fighter is generally agreed to have been Brian Carbury, with 15 ½ kills. He had actually joined the R.A.F. on a temporary commission prior to the war, which was made permanent on its outbreak, and had already begun to assist with Spitfire training. He too is one of the top 5 scorers, and actually earned both his DFC and Bar during the period of the Battle of Britain alone! He survived the war.
Apart from their high scoring, many foreign airmen were given great responsibility in the war. The prime example, of course, is Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, the New Zealander who was given control of the vital 11 Group. This was the group that fended off the brunt of the Luftwaffe's attacks, being responsible for south east England, not only the home of the capital but the closest sector to occupied France. Having fallen from his horse when an infantry officer in the First World War, and been declared unfit to continue riding, Park decided to try flying after seeing the great effect that aerial reconnaissance could have on the eventual course of a battle. Taking to his personal Hurricane to observe the battles fought by his men, Park studied the actions of all aircraft carefully, and learned to be an excellent tactician. It was he who realised just how outclassed Britain was in the early days of the battle, when men and aircraft were both in dangerously short supply and the Luftwaffe was certainly the more experienced of the two forces. Throwing large numbers of planes into the air against them might briefly intimidate the enemy, he realised, but the smarter thing to do would be to send up only as many as were critically needed, to limit the losses and save resources for other skirmishes. He also deduced that it was no good attacking the fighters, formidable opponents that they were, and that aiming for the slower bombers would inflict greater losses on the Germans.
He later clashed with the leader of 12 Group, Air Vice Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory, who favoured the method of 'Big Wing' flying, throwing as many planes as possible against the opponent in order to intimidate them. The argument led to both Park and Hugh Dowding being relieved of command soon after the battle finished, but many still believe that it was Park and Dowding's calm and measured tactics were ultimately responsible for protecting the depleted and over-matched R.A.F. from being utterly crushed at this crucial time. If 'The Few' saved Britain from invasion, then Park could be said to be responsible for safeguarding the lives of 'The Few'.
Every man who fought in the Battle of Britain was heroic, since the pilots took their lives in their hands each time they returned to the air, but Britain would certainly have fallen if she did not have her empire and her allies to rely on in this time of great peril. Seventy years later, we still remember 'The Few', both the home pilots and those who came from further afield to help protect this island.
