  • ENDING the ENERGY STALEMATE a Bipartisan Strategy to Meet America’S Energy Challenges
    ENDING THE ENERGY STALEMATE A Bipartisan Strategy to Meet America’s Energy Challenges THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON ENERGY POLICY December 2004 Cover: U.S. Government Satellite Images: Western Hemisphere at Night ENDING THE ENERGY STALEMATE A Bipartisan Strategy to Meet America’s Energy Challenges THE NATIONAL COMMISSION ON ENERGY POLICY December 2004 www.energycommission.org PREAMBLE This report is a product of a bipartisan Commission of 16 members of diverse expertise and affiliations, addressing many complex and contentious topics. It is inevitable that arriving at a consensus document in these circumstances entailed innumerable compromises. Accordingly, it should not be assumed that every member is entirely satisfied with every formulation in the report, or even that all of us would agree with any given recommendation if it were taken in isolation. Rather, we have reached consensus on the report and its recommendations as a package, which taken as a whole offers a balanced and comprehensive approach to the economic, national security, and environmental challenges that the energy issue presents to our nation. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The National Commission on Energy Policy was founded in 2002 by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and its partners: The Pew Charitable Trusts, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and the Energy Foundation. The Commission would like to express its sincere appreciation for the Hewlett Foundation’s vision and the strong support of its partners. The Commission would also like to thank the following Commissioner representatives for their many contributions to the Commission’s ongoing work and to this report: Gordon Binder, Principal, Aqua International Partners; Kelly Sims Gallagher, Director, Energy Technology Innovation Project, Belfer Center for Science & International Affairs, Harvard University; Marianne S.

  • 12 Checkmates Your Players Should Know
    12 Checkmates your players should know. Hi guys I continue in the vein of useful things coaches can do to improve their players. I call this 12 Checkmates players should know, but coaches should teach/coach their players pattern recognition and you can do this by working in themes. So the idea is to give your players a lot of practice in recognising these positions…that is pieces on the board. Players should try to see the pattern and look at how the major pieces are placed in order to achieve the checkmate. The puzzle/problems should be set up in such a way that the player can easily spot the solution. Now the player should look at marker indicators of which they make a mental ingrain, because the coach will expose them to enough examples. As the examples becomes more complexed/complicated or challenging as I like to call it, the player will still easily spot the solution as they know what to look for and their brain search for patterns and or ingrain marked indicators. The twelve checkmates are in no specific order, but these can easily be used as themes by coaches: King and queen mate Pawn mate Back-rank checkmate Diagonal checkmate Smothered mate Bishop and Knight fianchetto checkmate Anastacia’s mate Two bishops Queen and Bishop pin mate Queen and Bishop Queen and Rook Battery Rook and Bishop Checkmate On the next page you will find a worksheet with illustrations of the 12 checkmates. Enjoy! Till next time, burn the chess candle on both ends.

A. N O RSTEDT & S ONE R S FÜRLAG © P. A. Norstedt & Sôners fôrlag 1967 Boktryckeri AB Thule, Stockholm 1967 PREFACE One of the author’s most eminent teachers in private law in the Uppsala Faculty of Law once claimed that an action in tort ought to lie against those légal writers who take up a subject to treat it broadly enough to deter others from writing about it but not deeply enough to give any final answers to the questions discussed. Were the law so severe, the present author would undoubtedly have to face a lawsuit for venturing to publish this short study on a topic which demands lengthy and careful considération on almost every point and which has already given rise to an extensive body of case law and of légal writing. This préfacé can be considered as the au­ thor’s plaidoyer in that action, fortunately imaginary. The present study was prepared at the request, and with the most active personal and material support, of the International Commis­ sion of Jurists as a working paper for the Nordic Conférence of Jurists, organized by the Commission in Stockholm in May, 1967.

  • A Beginner's Guide to Coaching Scholastic Chess
    A Beginner’s Guide To Coaching Scholastic Chess by Ralph E. Bowman Copyright © 2006 Foreword I started playing tournament Chess in 1962. I became an educator and began coaching Scholastic Chess in 1970. I became a tournament director and organizer in 1982. In 1987 I was appointed to the USCF Scholastic Committee and have served each year since, for seven of those years I served as chairperson or co-chairperson. With that experience I have had many beginning coaches/parents approach me with questions about coaching this wonderful game. What is contained in this book is a compilation of the answers to those questions. This book is designed with three types of persons in mind: 1) a teacher who has been asked to sponsor a Chess team, 2) parents who want to start a team at the school for their child and his/her friends, and 3) a Chess player who wants to help a local school but has no experience in either Scholastic Chess or working with schools. Much of the book is composed of handouts I have given to students and coaches over the years. I have coached over 600 Chess players who joined the team knowing only the basics. The purpose of this book is to help you to coach that type of beginning player. What is contained herein is a summary of how I run my practices and what I do with beginning players to help them enjoy Chess. This information is not intended as the one and only method of coaching. In all of my college education classes there was only one thing that I learned that I have actually been able to use in each of those years of teaching.

  • Eric Schiller the Rubinstein Attack!
    The Rubinstein Attack! A chess opening strategy for White Eric Schiller The Rubinstein Attack: A Chess Opening Strategy for White Copyright © 2005 Eric Schiller All rights reserved. BrownWalker Press Boca Raton , Florida USA • 2005 ISBN: 1-58112-454-6 BrownWalker.com If you are looking for an effective chess opening strategy to use as White, this book will provide you with everything you need to use the Rubinstein Attack to set up aggressive attacking formations. Building on ideas developed by the great Akiba Rubinstein, this book offers an opening system for White against most Black defensive formations. The Rubinstein Attack is essentially an opening of ideas rather than memorized variations. Move order is rarely critical, the flow of the game will usually be the same regardless of initial move order. As you play through the games in this book you will see each of White’s major strategies put to use against a variety of defensive formations. As you play through the games in this book, pay close attention to the means White uses to carry out the attack. You’ll see the same patterns repeated over and over again, and you can use these stragies to break down you opponent’s defenses. The basic theme of each game is indicated in the title in the game header. The Rubinstein is a highly effective opening against most defenses to 1.d4, but it is not particularly effective against the King’s Indian or Gruenfeld formations. To handle those openings, you’ll need to play c4 and enter some of the main lines, though you can choose solid formations with a pawn at d3.
