This year marks several anniversary milestones of an eminent Australian and Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) recipient, Dr Geoffrey James Cornish MBBS, abbreviated as GC throughout this letter. GC is especially renowned for a long and esteemed career in medicine, and for playing an integral, real-life role as a prisoner-of-war (POW) in World War II’s tragic "Great Escape", upon which the popular 1963 movie is based. Several journalistic and literary works (cited later) that celebrate and underscore GC’s remarkable life/professional career have previously been published through or in association with: the Aircrew Association, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Australian ex-POW Associations, the Australians at war film archive, an authorised biography, a community radio interview of a Cornish Family member, a historiographer’s (class) treatise, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), various newspapers, and 60 Minutes Australia. The esteemed medical career of GC includes, but is certainly not limited to, innovations in cardiac rehabilitation and anaesthetics, as well the establishment of vital Red Cross blood banks throughout regional Australia, all having significant community impact. Indeed, GC’s life of service, that extended into his eighties, contains many other dimensions and achievements of distinction which this letter briefly summarises. Additionally, original to this letter are ten short audio messages of inspiration from GC that the first Author recorded almost 20 years ago and which to best knowledge have until now never been publically released. While other more formal audio recordings of GC are available online (e.g., award acceptance speech, interview), the audio recordings of this letter are unique in their manner of personal articulation, especially towards those within his famed walking program, and the manner in which they exude the optimism and warmth that were synonymous with GC. Along with the aforementioned life summary and audio recordings, the letter also contains memoirs and photographs donated by the Cornish Family (via the second Author, daughter of GC), and subtly explores the spirituality of the quietly determined and modest man that was GC. The primary GC milestone falling in 2021 is the 100th year birthday (June) anniversary, but this year also coincides with 80th and 75th year anniversaries of respective capture as a POW whilst a Captain in the Royal Air Force (RAF), and returning to Australia to commence medical studies. Perhaps fittingly, the 100th year birthday anniversary is shared with the 2021 service centenary of the RAAF which in 1939 processed GC’s service application on behalf of the RAF. However, this socially significant letter in no way aims to glorify its unavoidable war aspect, but instead glorifies faith and humanity, as well as the strength of a man constituted by caring and generosity towards others, found within the confines of such conflict and other adversities. In a perfectly succinct narrative, journalist Tara Brown of 60 Minutes Australia describes in [1] GC’s life as a touching and inspirational story of humble heroism and enduring spirit resembling an adventure novel, but being far more fascinating than any work of fiction.

Proceedings of the 19th ACM international conference on Multimedia

In this award acceptance speech at the 2022 Creating Change Conference, Urvashi Vaid reminds us that the struggle for dignity and rights for queer people is not over, and that longevity—of a movement or of a life—cannot be taken for granted.

At the 1 May 1990 meeting of the IEEE Switchgear Committee in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, Mr. John Conrad, Chairman of S&C Electric, was the recipient of a special Committee Award citing Mr. Conrad's contribution to the switchgear industry and support of standards activities. His acceptance speech was quite interesting, centering as it did on standards-making activities and their effect on the US industry. His speech is published here in the Review.

Paik Ki-wan was a leading activist of the Korean unification movement and the labor movement. He passed away on 15 February due to chronic disease. During his grave illness, Shim San Prize was awarded to him on 10 November 2020, three months before his death. Therefore, the author, his eldest daughter, gave an award acceptance speech on his behalf. This essay was written for the speech. Paik Ki-wan has various names in South Korea, such as unifier, storyteller, street fighter, poet, white-haired warrior, Bulssam-ggun (revolutionist) grandfather. Whenever he was inquired to identify himself by the dictatorship and division ideology, he claimed to be a unifier. What he meant by unifier is a person who takes the lead in resolving the contradiction of division, which not only refers to the peaceful unification of the two Koreas, but also addresses the global division system that the US and the Soviet Union imposed on the globe during the Cold War era creating an all-around subordination structure in South Korea. Paik had dedicated his life to national unification and social liberation in the Korean Peninsula and Asia by people's power. This essay attempts to shed light on Paik Ki-wan's unique role and status in the Korean social movement. The concept of Nonamegi, the essence of his thought, means a plural-equal civilization world where every people has an equal right to work and live well materially and ethically, including practice to achieve it. He refused to retreat from the front line and become “historicized” by making age an excuse. Although he has already gone a long way and can no longer resonate with the world with his resounding voice, his spirit always will be the first to run into the place of tears and blood in the Korean Peninsula and Asia. Paik's poem, “Heaven Lake,” (Baekdusan cheonji), depicting his desire for unification, is added at the end of the essay.

The acceptance speech by the recipient of the CFHA 2019 Don Bloch Award is presented. The recipient notes that her work for the last 35 years has focused on increasing access to comprehensive and high quality health care for underresourced and marginalized populations, with a strong emphasis on strengthening systems and clinical practice. Her journey to promote integrated behavioral health began in 2005 and has led to some success in accelerating the adoption and robust expansion of behavioral health integration into primary care in the Philadelphia region. While she has been gratified to create a structure for training, advocacy, and ongoing process improvement to support the talented and dedicated behavioral health providers and clinical teams who do the hard work of caring for our vulnerable patient populations, "everything I know and believe about integrated care I have learned from this association and those affiliated with CFHA."

This article is an expanded version of the acceptance speech for the 2023 Eric Berne Memorial Award. In it the recipient offers thanks both to those who submitted the nomination and to the many colleagues, friends, and students who contributed to the ideas that resulted in the development of the health system model. She goes on to reflect on collaboration and mutual and reciprocal learning in the transactional analysis (TA) community, marginality as a creative place, and the connections between metaphor, framing, and transactional analysis as a positive social psychology. The article concludes with some thoughts on the future potential for an educational perspective and the growth of the positive and resilience aspects of TA.
