Child Prodigies of Hungary
March 21, 2023 The Hungarian piano prodigy gave a sensational concert at the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Center on March 15, celebrating the anniversary of the Hungarian revolution of 1848. The Hungarian Embassy sponsored the event with the Ambassador from Hungary introducing Misi Boros, a twenty-year-old virtuoso pianist, his first time in Canada. A reception preceded the concert with Hungarian…

Hey can I ask what you think of the whole “ tw being banned from women’s chest tournaments” issue?? They’re twisting it to say that women who support this think women are biologically inferior.
https://www.tumblr.com/wiisagi-maiingan/726237173217722368/the-situation-is-actually-considerably-more
i have made a post kinda about it on my blog, just a few posts down.
women need women's spaces because men make neutral spaces unbearable. men aren't biologically better, the polgar sisters disprove that, but that took TWO chess grandmasters consciously training their daughters in chess from toddler age, and even then, most of the sisters retired from chess to have children, cutting their ranks short. it takes a very specific environment for girls and women to excel at things that they are taught they're worse at.

My comments under the cut:
I wanted to do a chapter that focused on the admin side for a long time (longer than 15 months, heh heh) because surely an organisation like Death Squadron is just lousy with paperwork. You can't tell me that after the Emperor died the entire admin department didn't do lines of space cocaine for a week straight trying to put new systems in place. I imagine Death Squadron's Space IT department is at permanent war with Coruscant's. Lawyers starting fistfights because the entire legal system fell apart overnight and they don't have to use their words anymore. I wanted to do a chapter of characters dealing with that and the more mundane side of things.
"Han adjusted the frequency band on the anderon meter and checked the engine again." - Anderon meters are real machines that measure vibrations. Which I found out after googling the fancy star wars device name I made up. Turns out it's a real thing!
Most of the foods mentioned in Sienna's Great Pastry Heist are real lore according to wookieepedia, except for kriffake mushrooms. I was inspired by shiitake mushrooms.
"I heard there was going to be an Alderaanian player competing, and she was considered one of the favourites." - Inspired by Judit Polgar, my favourite women's chess player and one of if not the greatest women's player of all time. Perhaps best known for beating Garry Kasparov while she was young and forcing him to be less of a dick about women playing chess.
I've had Piett's sister and his brother in law planned out for MONTHS all I want to do is talk about Mavis Piett and her family trying to make it work during the civil war. I love them so so much <3 Does Piett have an in-lore sister? Dunno, don't care. I love Wishful and Frodogenic's versions of her, I wanted to do my own.
"then he’s taking Alsakan for their political support," - Alsakan is a real planet near Coruscant and apparently known for their politics. So this is somewhat lore accurate, for no reason.
��I dream of it, sometimes,” Leia said, “of beings referring to me as General Organa, and it sounds natural. I see different bases and different uniforms in my mind’s eye. I can feel red salt under my fingernails.” - referencing the sequel trilogy. Not the first time Leia's dreamed of it.
"Mon had a speech prepared about nature and nurture that she was quite proud of." - it was ME. I had a speech planned out in my first draft that I could not for the life of me get to flow naturally in the convo. I rewrote that thing like three or four times from the ground up. Conversations are SO HARD.
"Greyvile held the vibroblade out. “Dathomirian steel. Very rare." - Dathomirian steel being a reference to damascus steel. It is SO funny to me to keep giving Piett all these cool blades and watch him lose them before he can use them. Will he do it again? Maybe!
"Death Squadron Conditions of Service part Grek section Eight: Remuneration," - I downloaded declassified aussie military contracts from the 70s to get a baseline of what sounded reasonable to put in a contract. Yes it was way too much effort for two lines of dialogue. No I have not learned my lesson.
"“Did you pass my message along to the Head Bioengineer?” Dampa murmured" - she's trying to buy drugs.
Dampa's speech patterns are based on this Canadian engineer's I enjoy on youtube called AvE, although he turned out to be kind of Shit, but I do like the way he plays with words. I take idioms I hear around (so far down the flute he can't toot a tune, is from a tour guide I heard in a place called Lighting Ridge several years ago. A day late and a dollar/credit short is something I learned researching for another fic also several years ago) and star wars-ify them. Often they come out illegible but that's okay.
"Kirff'll mach-three the air distributor in no time" - shit'll hit the fan.
Picking first names for Venka and Kallic was AGONY I changed my mind SO many times. Tom Venka suits him so well but alas, that's Wishful's name and not canon. But I adore Pico Venka, pico meaning 10^-12 and I think flowing very well with his last name. Alasdair is an old scottish gaelic name meaning "the one who repels men" (in like a war/fighting way) but I like how I used it too >:)
So yeah! A lot of thoughts this chapter. I have the next one planned out, and a few plot points for the one after that, but my main priority now is the last chapter of Galaxy Revolves.

A Hungarian psychologist named Laszlo Polgar theorized that anyone could become a genius because geniuses were made and not born. To prove this, he used his own daughters as experiments and trained them to become great at chess. The three Polgar sisters then became chess prodigies, and the youngest, Judit Polgar, become a grand-master at just age 15.

Watch "5 Strategies to Be Great At Anything - The Polgar Sisters Experiment" on YouTube
youtube
The reason I hate this feminist movement, is because the Polgar Sisters aren't role models. I've asked multiple women about these females and NO ONE knows them. I plan on using the Polgar Experiment on my kids.

The Resolution Ain’t Glamorous, #ItIsWhatItIs I been working on this Unum Olio Method for a decade and its feel So Good to say, it’s Very Real and It Really Works. I’ve spoken to many orgs, educators, admin, and so much more. Now, I’ve begun going directly to parents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, etc who may be seeking additional empowerment to what the school is providing. I am working to have The Unum Olio Method implemented wherever it’s welcomed. But until then, it’s direct to the parents and educators if we happen to cross paths. Yes, I’m in the streets, grocery stores, etc, wherever the conversation happens to happen I got a brochure and stickers with me. My entertainment industry experiences are assisting beautifully. I encourage parents and educators to contact me. The entire Unum Olio Method is driven by the brilliance and Dare I Say Genius that like dormant in many youth. My quest is to awaken as much Genius as possible. It’s all about streamlining the process, no nonsense. If you have any issue with my Genius statement, I completely understand. I encourage your to learn about the empowering teaching methods of The Great Educator Lazslo Polgar. Lastly, I must say, if you feel your child needs to learn a subject, try Khan academy. No 🧢. I am in no way affiliated with them at all, would LOVE TO BE, but I am not, yet. Wishful thinking. But, FUH real doe. I been utilizing their YouTube channel FOR YEARS and have ABSOLUTELY no intention on stopping. The whole channel has been really updated well as time as went by. Not saying you’ll find everything, but I’ve heard from students, parents, and educators that the Zoom class could use some assistance. May 🙏🏾The Divine And All That Is Holy Be With The Teachers Enduring ZOOM In This Unpredictable Times. Please EmpowerThem With Patience Beyond Patience.🙏🏾 I Love All Y’all. Blessin’s & Progression Be On To You And Yours. Back to work for me. 🔥🐜 👽🧠 Empowerment Or Nothing. 🔥Sounds by: @vio_soundz #UnumOlio #YOUTH #education #educators #parents #diversity #endracism #empower #solutions #multicultural #holistic #genius #streamline #encourage #Scales #Balance #LibraGang #Tbt #TMC https://www.instagram.com/p/CGFBwW9AcEa/?igshid=1wowl3f46und0

FLP POETRY BOOK OF THE DAY: Comets: Relationships That Wander by Annie Klier Newcomer
TO ORDER GO TO: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/comets-by-annie-klier-newcomer/
RESERVE YOUR COPY TODAY
Annie Klier Newcomer was born in Cheverly, Maryland, the middle child in a family of nine children. She grew up in Syracuse, New York. Her father, a graduate professor working in metallurgy, and her older brother, a distinguish professor of Russian Jewish studies at University College London, instilled in her a life-long quest for learning and teaching. Annie graduated from the University of Illinois with a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s in Education where she also had a grant to work with a Vietnamese family. She moved to Kansas City, Missouri in 1974 and taught fifth graders at an inner-city Catholic school. In 1980 she married her husband, David, and moved to Prairie Village, Kansas where they continue to reside. Annie became interested in writing seriously after the untimely death of her older brother in 2007. She has had short vignettes published and has had four 10 minute plays read script-in-hand by the Pot Luck Players of Kansas City, but poetry is her passion. Her poems have appeared in such eclectic places as the Grand Master Chess player and coach Susan Polgar’s website, Kansas City Voices, I-70 Review, Flint Hills Review, Coal City Review, di’-verse’-City, Austin, Texas, Uruguay, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, Parks & Points poetry website and her local library’s, Poetry in the Park.
Annie teaches poetry for Turning Point, a Center for Hope and Healing for those with chronic illnesses and is currently a poetry editor for Flapper Press, an online magazine.Comets: Relationships That Wander is her inaugural chapbook of poetry.
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Comets: Relationships That Wander by Annie Klier Newcomer
Annie Klier Newcomer‘s debut collection of poetry speaks to the world’s propensity to awe us in concert with all we love and lose. In writing about family, whether close at hand or long-gone, she explores the ties that bind, the grief that travels with us, and the love that remains. She also looks to the larger human family, writing in a poem about integration, “Some stories never end,” and to the cosmos, considering the cycles of comets. This lyrical collection invites us to consider the paths we live, like comets arching across time.
–Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, Kansas Poet Laureate Emerita. (Author of How Time Moves: New and Selected Poems.)
Annie Newcomer’s first poetry collection brims with insight and attention to the rich, often fraught details of childhood and the struggles of adult life. Refusing to shirk the tough realities of illness, upheaval and loss, these intelligent and philosophical lyrics, “like masseuses cupping the sore/parts of our backs”, illuminate and decipher relevant parts of our common experience, and help usher in the process.
Nuanced, compassionate and alert, Newcomer’s poems shine a loving light on an American family’s history while casting their nets much wider than the few individuals they are ostensibly about. Whether recalling a disabled sister’s short life, musing over crazily hoarding neighbors, or discovering a husband’s secret love of poetry, Newcomer’s gentle wisdom permeates what it means to be alive in uncertain and often dark times and in a world that seems to “ treat (us) as though/ (we had) already left.”
–Laura Chalar, Uruguayan poet, author, translator ( Author of The Guardian Angel of Lawyers and Unlearning)
Newcomer’s first collection is a tribute to those people and moments that come into our lives, get our attention, make us dream, move us, possibly change us, and then move on. Memories of a father, unbreakable pottery that breaks, the feeling of running through a hose on a hot summer day, a sister’s too short life, buying a motorcycle, discovering New Zealand Sonnets, all gather here in honor of comets, those “maverick objects wandering/through the universe” becoming the events and people who cross our paths and are reminders for us to pause and “consider which wander away and might come back” to bless us a second time before moving on.
–Jamie Lynn Heller (Author of “Buried in the Suburbs” 2019 Kansas Notable Book of the Year and “Domesticated: Poetry from Around the House”)
Annie Newcomer writes with keen awareness of family bonds. In so doing she uncovers a web of potent memories wrapped up inside them. Not satisfied to stop at personal reflection, however, her poetic intention seeks to remind the reader that there are wrongs in this world and we each have social and political responsibilities to consider when weighing fairness and justice. This is the season for Annie’s voice to be heard among poets.
–Bruce McClain — Poet, Writer, Illustrator ~ forthcoming book, Aging Gathers No Dust

Idk if you open links (I swear it’s nothing weird/disturbing in terms of it being g**e or sexual content) https://youtube.com/shorts/WXY9cOoHvtk?feature=share
It’s a short of Bobby Fischer’s thoughts on women playing chess. The comments. I thought that males would have some sort of humanity for women but… nope instead they make jokes about it and say it’s “brutally honest” get me off this planet
if it makes you feel better, gary kasparov said similar things, particularly in reference to a young judit polgar (when in fact in an earlier game against her, he CHEATED by moving a piece after he had removed his hand from it, but the chess tournament not only refused to rescind the results and declare his loss afterwards, they disappeared the official match footage. but video footage became publicly available in 2019 from a documentary and it is unanimously agreed by chess players that he cheated. but that's a whole other long story).
a couple years later she thrashed him so hard he changed his opinion. the polgar sisters are proof that it's nurture, not nature.

Range is a book about the value of being a generalist versus a specialist; taking a less direct path and quitting things that don’t stick may be beneficial in the long-run. Throwing away the 10k hours rule, Epstein uses chess as a prime example for his argument.
Highlighting the 3 Polgar sisters, home-schooled by their parents with the intention of making them chess masters. This itself however Epstein believes is dissent, not the norm.
On how computers strategically beat humans at chess, due to their superiority at tactics - Epstein explores the competitiveness when Humans and computers work together in chess matches. Regarding a computer + human match - Epstein writes "Kasparov settled for a 3-3 draw with a player he had trounced four games to zero just a month earlier in a traditional match...the primary benefit of years of experience with specialized training was outsourced, and in a contest where humans focused on strategy, he suddenly had peers.”
He continues "A few years later...a duo of amateur players with three normal computers not only destroyed Hydra, the best chess supercomputer, they also crushed teams of grandmasters using computers."
All in all, the computer itself neutralizes the skill. The argument is that specialization is successful in the current construct of chess - but in the broader perspective of society - much less so.
