Stephen Wright [Back issues of the Bulletin are available on the above webpage.] WORLD YOUTH CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP The 2005 WYCC is currently underway in Belfort, France. This 11-round Swiss by age group (under 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18, in both boys and girls categories) has attracted 1122 players from around the world, including twenty-eight participants from Canada. Of these twenty-eight, eight are from B.C.: Fanhao Meng and Lucas Davies (U18B), Tiffany Tang (U16G), Noam Davies and Vlad Gaciu (U14B), Chelsea Ruiter (U12G), and Alexandra Botez and Erika Ruiter (U10G). Good luck to all! Results, currently for the first three rounds, are available through the offical sites, or www.chess.bc.ca or pages.infinit.net/archamse/WYCC2005.htm. The official website (www.belfort-echecs.com) was overwhelmed for a few days, but is currently up and running; an alternative is www.echecs.asso.fr/(0uiuf4binynjxpidzpz1f455)/Default.aspx, the website of the French Chess Federation. The organizers are providing games from the top twenty boards or so of each section, usually late on the same day as the round in question. So far four B.C. games are available, but unfortunately playing on the top twenty boards means meeting the toughest opposition, so the results have not been favourable for B.C.: Milman,L - Davies,L [B14] WYCC U18B Belfort (1.11), 19.07.2005 1.e4 c6 2.d4

  • The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977
    The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977 by Jonathan Turner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto © Copyright by Jonathan Turner 2012 The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977 Jonathan Turner Doctor of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto 2012 Abstract The Defence Research Board of Canada existed from 1947 to 1977. It was created because of the successful contribution of scientific management and specific military technologies to victory in the Second World War, and it was dismantled during a period of review and renewal of the government’s science and defence policies. The demise of the Defence Research Board demonstrated the triumph of business and public administration models over scientific management in spite of the successful defence research program. Among the successful projects of the Defence Research Board were satellites, research rockets, hydrofoils, nylon pile clothing, the wind chill factor, the strategic distinction between first and second nuclear strikes, open heart surgery, and blast trials. The strengths of the Defence Research Board were the scientific management practices that united the four Chairmen (Omond Solandt, Hartley Zimmerman, Robert Uffen and Léon L’Heureux) and the bench scientists. Over the course of its existence the Defence Research Board was shaped by six chains of events. 1. Solandt’s ability to recruit veterans from 1947 to 1953, 2. The election of John Diefenbaker and the ensuing conflict between Diefenbaker and civil servants, particularly over nuclear weapons, which led to the Royal Commission on ii Government Organisation and a decade of review of national defence policy (including two White Papers, integration and unification, and the Management Review Group), 3.
