CLARKE Joseph Clovis Kemner Laflamme was born at the little village of Saint Anselme, Dorchester County, Province of Quebec, September 19, 1849. His father was David Kemner Laflamme; his mother, Marie Josephte Jamme. After a usual course in the parochial schools he entered the Petit Seminaire of Quebec, and subsequently the arts course in the Laval University, from which he graduated in 1868, taking his master’s degree in 1884. Entering the Grand Seminaire for the theological course, he took his bachelor’s degree in 1871, his licentiate in 1872, and his doctorate in 1873. In 1872 he was ordained priest, and directly thereafter ap­ pointed professor of geology and physics in Laval University. He was successively director and superior of the seminaire, dean of the arts faculty of the university, and twice and for many years rector of the university. He was one of the founders of the Royal Society of Canada, its president in 1891, in the same year being the official delegate of Can­ ada at the International Geological Congress at Washington, and in 1897 was one of the vice-presidents of the Saint Petersburg Congress. He was designated in 1892 Bishop of Chicoutimi, a preferment he declined, and in 1894 he was appointed by the Pope protonotaire apostolique, a dignity which carries with it the title of monseigneur, by which he had become generally known. He was a director in the Canadian Forestry Association, a chevalier of the Legion of Honor, a member of the Geo­ logical Societies of France and of Belgium, as well as of several other dignified organizations.

    Members Forum for Private Security Research

    Members Forum for Private Security Research Robert Parr MBE - FSPR Administrator Bio: Robert (Bob) Parr is a PhD Student with the Defence Studies Department of King’s College London, currently researching the ethical legitimacy of uptake from the private security sector in the context of support to national military power. In addition to being an Administrator of the Centre for Private Security Research, he has established the FPSR Ethics Working Group. He is a former career member of UK Special Forces and National Intelligence, holds a Master’s Degree in Security and Risk Management from the University of Leicester (awarded with Distinction), and has more than a decade and a half of experience as a private security contractor. His research interests include: • The private security/military industry • The history of private military operations • UK national defence doctrine • The role of ethics in the utilisation of national military power • Global human rights Contact Details: [email protected] Websites: www.ethicsworkinggroup.com Prof Eugenio Cusumano Bio: Eugenio Cusumano is an assistant professor in International Relations at the University of Leiden. He obtained his PhD in 2012 from the European University Institute and was previously a Fulbright Scholar at the Korbel School of International Studies in Denver and a lecturer at the Baltic Defence College. His research covers the outsourcing of security and military support both on land and at sea, with a focus on the study of the reasons underlying the preference for public or private providers of security and their variations across countries and over time. His work has been published in leading international relations and security studies journal such as the Journal of Strategic Studies, International Relations, Armed Forces & Society, and International Peacekeeping.

Clary (Chemical Physics Letters), Ante Graovac (Croatica Chemica Acta – guest editor), John Gladys (Chemical Reviews), Ivan Gutman (MATCH Communication in Mathematical and in Computer Chemistry), John Hancock (Journal of Proteome Research), Paul G.

I apologize to those not named, with whom I may have but limited contacts as an author or referee – who together with the above named make a visible minority in the scientific community of journal editors – but the minority that gives us hope for the continuing progress in science. “Unfortunately, now there are too few theoretical chemists with sufficient vision to take a giant step of exploring completely new techniques. Instead, scientists in the 1980s get so immersed in a maze of computational detail that they lose sight of the simple, elegant theories.” J.
