  • Chief Arbiters Report on Women's World Chess Championship
    1 WOMEN’S WORLD CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP NALCHIK, 28th AUGUST- 18TH SEPTEMBER 2008. In the Presidental Board Meeting, held in Athen 31st May & 1st June, 2008 the FIDE President, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov advised that the Women’s World Championship would be organized in Nalchik, Kabardino- Balkaria, Russia from 28th August to 18th September, 2008. The FIDE PB has approved the list of qualifiers and the schedule of the World Women's Championship 2008. All qualifiers must send signed Undertaking to the FIDE Secretariat by the deadline of 17 June 2008. The list of 64 Players was published on the FIDE website, then 3rd July 2008 the pairings of the 1st Round and the Pairings Tree for the Championship. On 1st August American player, Irina Krush inform the FIDE about her withdrawal from the Women’s World Championship, then the organizers has a big problem after the unfortunate events in South Ossetia, the Georgian players not get permission from their govornment. Before this crisis emerged, there were some speculations that Nalchik is not a safe place and some of the players were afraid to travel there. Statement of the Chairman of Organizing Commitee of the WWCC 2008, Arsen Kanokov on 14th August: „Organizing Committee of the Women’s World Chess Championship 2008 is deeply disappointed and bewildered by the attempts of some circles by no means spots ones to break up the competition of the strongest women chess players of the world scheduled to be held in Nalchik. Sharing entirely and fully attitude of FIDE and European Chess Union toward an open letter of Georgian women chess players, we believe that representatives of a famous chess school shouldn't be pawns in somebody's unworthy game.

  • Final Program
    Final Program 100th Annual Meeting August 13-16, 2005 Philadelphia Marriott, Philadelphia Loews, and Philadelphia Downtown Courtyard by Marriott Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Comparative Perspectives, Competing Explanations Accounting for the Rising and Declining Significance of Sociology This is the centennial for the Association, so the meeting theme should be sufficiently expansive to address a wide historical sweep, and yet have sufficient focus to provide a framework in which to address key aspects of the social history of the discipline—its contemporary situation and its potential future development. Each of the three elements from the title “Comparative Perspectives, Competing Explanations” is designed to produce a fruitful meeting frame: First, the notion of “comparative perspectives” is itself “accordion-like” and can fit a number of purposes and goals. There is the international aspect, so that we can incorporate a comparison of American sociology with international developments. There is the internal evolution of perspectives inside of the United States, which would include the development and emergence of challenging and oppositional perspectives in the discipline, from the Society for the Study of Social Problems, to Sociologists for Women in Society, to the Association of Black Sociologists, to name but a few organizational manifestations of the challenges of the last half century. There are others that will surely surface from the general call. Second, there is the notion of “competing explanations.” Competing explanations

    Foreword to the KEM Special Issue by the 2nd International Congress on Advanced Materials Songjun Li Executive Chair, the 2nd International Congress on Advanced Materials President, Chinese Advanced Materials Society URL: http://am2013.ujs.edu.cn URL: http://www.thecams.org The publication of this special issue by Key Engineering Materials represents a commemoration to the 2nd International Congress on Advanced Materials hosted by Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, China, during 16-19th May 2013 (http://am2013.ujs.edu.cn). The congress was known as the 2nd one of its kind sponsored by International Union of Advanced Materials, along with Chinese Advanced Materials Society. As the executive chair, I am greatly delighted to help organize this conference. Ten supporting journals, including Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials (JIOPM; Springer), Monatshefte für Chemie - Chemical Monthly (CM; Springer) Journal of the Chinese Advanced Materials Society (JCAMS; Taylor Francis), Journal of Energetic Materials (JEM; Taylor & Francis), Journal of Nano Research (JNanoR; Trans Tech), Polymers & Polymer Composites (PPC; Smithers Rapra), Current Organic Chemistry (COC; Bentham Science), Key Engineering Materials (KEM; Trans Tech), The Open Electrochemistry Journal (TOEJ; Bentham Science), and American Journal of Environmental Science (AJES; Science publications), have included ca. 700 full manuscripts contributed and 315 abstracts. The host Jiangsu University has played an important role in helping run the organizing of this congress. The close cooperation between the host and other joint organizers including the University of Jinan, State Key Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering (East China University of Science and Technology), and Hengyang Normal University have made feasible the completion of this conference.

  • DIS 2016 Australian Women's Masters
    DIS 2016 Australian Women's Masters Bulletin 1 – Round 1 Thursday January 14, 2016 Editor: Kerry Stead Fresh off the back of organising a highly successful Australian Championships, the Sesquicentennial (150 year) celebrations continue at Melbourne Chess Club with the hosting of the 2016 Australian Women's Masters! Now in its fourth year, the 2016 edition of the Australian Women's Masters has seen a shift in the field playing in the event. This year the event is much stronger & players have the opportunity to achieve FIDE title norms if they perform well enough! This year Dr Anita Stangl returns (and she has the distinction of being the only player to have played in all three years that the tournament has been run as an event with foreign players), however this year she finds herself as the bottom seed, not one of the mid-high seeds as she has been in the past! Also returning is last year's winner WGM Julia Ryjanova, who is once again the top seed for the tournament, and will be looking to take out the tournament again in 2016! Of course the tournament would not be possible without the support of a variety of organisations & people. The organisers would like to thank the FIDE DIS commission for its support of the event, Melbourne Chess Club for providing the venue for the tournament & Chess Victoria for its support of the tournament. The vital contribution of people who are hosting visiting players is also appreciated & I'm sure that the visiting players will be made most welcome during their stay in Melbourne.
