The Chairperson (Ms. Polgar) especially praised FIDE for the Women’s World Blitz and Rapid Championships in Saudi Arabia which had a substantially increased prize fund, though it was only one third of the prize in the Open section. The total prize fund in the Women’s championships were $250,000 for each event. Beatriz Marinello reported on her project “Smart Girl” on behalf of the Social Action commission, which included projects in Uganda, Chile, France and the US. This projects seeks to increase participation by girls in chess in those countries.

Sophia Rohde from the United States shared some of the work their federation is in doing to promote chess for girls in the USA.

  • Sermon for the Exile in Egypt and the Feast of the Epiphany Preached At
    Sermon for the Exile in Egypt and the Feast of the Epiphany Preached at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Mt. Kisco, NY By the Rev. William A. Doubleday, Priest in Charge January 5, 2014 In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We just heard a part of the story of the Magi – the wise men from the East – the Persian astrologers – the Gentile visitors to the Baby Jesus and his parents in Bethlehem – from Matthew’s Gospel. Today I want to speak to you about what the late Radio Announcer Paul Harvey might have called the REST OF THE STORY. The fuller story is punctuated with dreams. The Magi are warned not to go back to King Herod and report the exact location of Jesus. Joseph is warned in a dream that Herod has resolved to kill every child under two in and around Bethlehem. Joseph, Mary, and Jesus flee to Egypt and after some time, when Herod has finally died, Joseph is advised to go back to the land of Israel in one dream, and then advised to go not to Bethlehem, but to Nazareth in still another dream. The part of the story I particularly want to emphasize today is the flight into Egypt. Egypt, the land from which the once enslaved Hebrew people fled at the time of the Exodus, becomes in Matthew’s Infancy Narrative a safe haven – a refuge – a place to hide for the Infant Jesus and his Holy Family. So we have the horribly ironic and timely story of a mad ruler seeking to destroy the very Infant who came into the world to save his people.

  • Annual Report 2017 - 2018
    ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 2018 Details Make a Difference www.historicrichmond.com 1 FROM OUR LEADERSHIP Details Make A Difference In our Spring Newsletter, we discussed stepping back to look at “The Big Picture” and how our Vision came into Focus with a shared set of Preservation Values. With that Big Picture now in focus, it is also clear that the Details Make All the Difference. The details are what connect us across generations to those that walked these streets before us. It is the details that connect us to the lives and struggles – both large and small – of those people in these places. For two centuries, an upturned torch at Monumental Church has reflected the lives extinguished too soon by the Richmond Theatre Fire. For more than a century, an eagle on the General Assembly Building’s 1912 façade stood sentinel watching over our Capitol. Several blocks away, another eagle, radiator grill in its grasp (and tongue in cheek), signaled the advent of the automobile. Exceptional craftsmanship has stood the test of time in Virginia Union University’s “nine noble” buildings of Virginia granite. This attention to detail said “We are strong. We are solid. And we will strive and succeed for centuries to come.” It is seemingly insignificant details such as these that help us to understand that our lives are significant – that our actions can - and do - make an impact on the world around us. We are excited to have rolled up our sleeves to focus on those details. In this report, we share with you an update on our work in 2017-2018, including: Preservation • Monumental Church • Masons’ Hall Revitalization • Neighborhood Revitalization Projects Rehabilitation • Westhampton School • Downtown Revitalization/ Blues Armory Advocacy & Education • Master Planning • Rehab Expo • Lecture Programs • Golden Hammer Awards Cover Photo: Painting the east stairwell of Monumental Church thanks to the Elmon B.

  • The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature
    From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Dorian Townsend Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Languages and Linguistics Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of New South Wales May 2011 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Townsend First name: Dorian Other name/s: Aleksandra PhD, Russian Studies Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: Languages and Linguistics Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The Slavic vampire myth traces back to pre-Orthodox folk belief, serving both as an explanation of death and as the physical embodiment of the tragedies exacted on the community. The symbol’s broad ability to personify tragic events created a versatile system of imagery that transcended its folkloric derivations into the realm of Russian literature, becoming a constant literary device from eighteenth century to post-Soviet fiction. The vampire’s literary usage arose during and after the reign of Catherine the Great and continued into each politically turbulent time that followed. The authors examined in this thesis, Afanasiev, Gogol, Bulgakov, and Lukyanenko, each depicted the issues and internal turmoil experienced in Russia during their respective times. By employing the common mythos of the vampire, the issues suggested within the literature are presented indirectly to the readers giving literary life to pressing societal dilemmas. The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain the vampire’s function within Russian literary societal criticism by first identifying the shifts in imagery in the selected Russian vampiric works, then examining how the shifts relate to the societal changes of the different time periods.
