The tign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from tha document photographed it "Mining Page(s)". If it was ponibla to obtain the misting paga(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an imago and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find e good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large dieet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

N the production and presentation of this Official Report, the Organising Committee has endeavoured to satisfy two primary objects : that the matter shall be, as far as I possible, accurate, and that it shall serve not only as a record of the work leading up to the staging of the London Games of 1948, and of the competitions themselves, but also that it may be of assistance to future Organising Committees in their work. The arrangement of the matter has been dictated, apart from the Results sections and those articles dealing with the celebration of the actual Games themselves, by the arrange­ ment of the work of the departments of the Organising Committee which it was found necessary to create.

Methods Prospective cohort study using injury data from the International Olympic Committee injury surveillance system and exposure data from official tournament records at three consecutive Olympic Games (i.e., Beijing 2008, London 2012, and Rio de Janeiro 2016). Competition injury incidence rates per 1,000 minutes of exposure (IIRME) were calculated with 95% confidence intervals using standard formulae for Poisson rates. Results The overall IIRME was 7.8 (95%CI 7.0, 8.7). The IIRME in judo (9.6 [95%CI 7.8, 11.7]), boxing (9.2 [95%CI 7.6, 10.9]), and taekwondo (7.7 [95%CI 5.6, 10.5]) were significantly higher than in wrestling (4.8 [95%CI 3.6, 6.2]).

  • Complaint to FIDE Electoral Commission AFGHANISTAN
    Complaint to FIDE Electoral Commission AFGHANISTAN Summary Following the Afghan National Chess Federation’s (“ANCF”) nomination of challenger Garry Kasparov’s Presidential ticket for the 2014 FIDE elections, FIDE removed longstanding ANCF President and Delegate, Mr. Mahmood Hanif, from the FIDE website on 16 June 2014 and replaced him with two other individuals who have never been elected to the positions in question. FIDE gave no notice to the ANCF of this action and refused to provide supporting documentation despite urgent requests to FIDE’s Executive Director, Nigel Freeman, immediately after the change was made. Despite protests on behalf of Mr. Hanif that the changes were wrongful, Mr. Freeman and the FIDE Secretariat also proceeded to list the wrong Delegate for Afghanistan on the list of Delegates for the 2014 elections published on the FIDE website later on 16 June 2014 pursuant to Article 5.A(1) of the Electoral Regulations (the “16 June FIDE Delegate List”). FIDE and Mr. Freeman subsequently ignored letters from the Afghan National Olympic Committee (“ANOC”) and Mr. Hanif confirming that no changes had been made to ANCF leadership and demanding that Mr. Hanif be restored as ANCF President and Delegate on the FIDE website and be listed as the Delegate for Afghanistan on the 16 June FIDE Delegate List. After three days of refusing to provide any information, FIDE alleged that it had been informed by the General Directorate of Physical Education and Sports of Afghanistan (“GDPESA”) on 15 June 2014 – one day before FIDE’s deadline to publish the 16 June FIDE Delegate List – that a certain Mr.
