When my son married Monica Fiorenza, I became a member of the family. No family could have been more welcoming. A tight knit family everyone joined together for birthdays, Christenings, Christmas and Easter. I became another cherished member of the family.
Bob and Ann were there at every gathering. Bob would take pictures and pummel my son with questions. He was always curious. It was fascinating to hear that Ann had taken up becoming a pilot when she and Bob married, and they had flown many places together on their honeymoon.
Parkinsons never controlled Bob. He lived as independently as he could with determination and no complaining. The accolade Paul gave to him at his eulogy expressed how all the family felt. He was a remarkable person and will be missed by many.

As a kid, i grew up on South Cove rode, where Bob and Ann were like additional parents to me. Only in the last year have i realized how valuable this was in my entire life. Bob's never ending curiosity and drive, and amazing projects inspired us. I also had the pleasure to work at IBM and i learned to value and treasure Wild Ducks. i treasured Bob. I hope he is in a better place now and no longer suffering.. and hopefully planning a heavenly ski day with Rudy..
My condolences to Ann and the children. All the best.
Sincerely. - Stephen Strebel

I met Bob as I did aircraft maintenance and inspections spare time for over 40 years. I also worked and retired from IBM and we had many great conversations. He was articulate and professional. He asked me to oversee the maintenance on the plane he was in partnership with several other IBMers. It was a fun and easy task as Bob always was on top of any issues and proactive in the maintenance regimen. I was saddened to see of his passing. My sincere condolences to the family.

Although I have not been active with the MRG ski patrol for about the last 10 years I still keep in touch with many active patrollers. Like all of you I remember Bob and all the things he did for the patrol. When I think back on our years skiing together, I realize how good they were and I have many fond memories. Ann, I can still see Bob on the hill, I know you must too.
My wife, Irene, and I send our condolences to you, Paul & John. Bob will be remembered as a dedicated patroller, skier and friend he was. You are in our thoughts; safe passage. Carl
MORRIS GROVE
I am so sorry to hear that Bob has passed. I first met Bob while working with Jim Schumachder and Bob in East Fishkill back in the early 1970's. Jim and I had missed out flight back to Burlington and Bob offered to fly us up. So we all piled into his Airplane and Bob called for clearance before checking out the plane. The engine was all raved up and Bob checked out the Mags. Ops, one meg was dead and the control tower called out "are you guys going or not". Needless to say Jim and I drove to Burlington.
Bob later moved to Burlington but our jobs took us in different directions. Last time I saw Bob was about 10 years ago at the Burlington Airport while I was waiting for our daughter flying in from Colorado.
Not long ago I said to Jim we should look Bob up for a reunion about our good times in the 70's. Lesson here is don't put off seeing old friends, next news from them might be in the obituary. So sorry to hear of Bob's passing.

We are so sorry to learn of Bob's passing, and appreciate so much John's call. Dick and I both have many wonderful memories of our flying days and times spent with Ann and Bob and the family.
Bob taught taught me to fly in 1973 at Dutchess Country Airport when he, Dick and Bill Druschel were partners in Piper Comanche N8190Pop.
Happy times they were! Bob was a good friend as well as instructor. His encouragement, skill and enthusiasm enabled many to "get their wings", free of charge, and I will always be grateful for having been one of them! He was a good guy who has left a wonderful legacy, and he will always be remembered!
J. Richard Kraycir
It was the beginning of August in 1967 that Bob got his instructor rating and took me on as his first student. Clearly he was as dedicated in teaching as I was in learning. My logbook shows between 1.5 and 2.7 hours of flying each night and in two weeks time I was signed off for solo cross country flight. What a teacher. Four Months later I was fully licensed as a Private Pilot.
Only a year after that he had me as a partner in his Comanche N8190P. Since we were flying so much, it became obvious that as two single guys it would be more efficient if we found an apartment closer to the airport and big enough that we would not get in each others way. And so we did. Less than 1/2 mile from the end of Runway 24.
Bob not only pushed me for more ratings (Instruments, Commercial) but he went on to collect just about every possible license endorsement that would fit on the license. (By now he had a bevy of students at all levels and was teaching almost every night...except for the times we had to do some sort of maintenance under Bill Druschel's watchful eye as the A&P licensed mechanic)
Best story of all: Bob was an Usher when Melissa and I got married that 2nd of April 1971. the wedding was not until the afternoon so that morning he and I did a bunch of practice instrument approaches at Binghamton Airport including missed approaches and holding patterns. Back at work folks said 'On your wedding day?' Yep. What else were you going to do on a beautiful clear day.
Bob tried many times to get me interested in skiing but that bug never bit me, He was every bit as involved, enthused and dedicated to skiing as he was to flying. Mad River Glen? and on the ski patrol? This is not for everyone, but he always had the passion to be the best he could be at everything he tried.
Bob moved out when he and Ann got married and, I still being single, was a guest for dinner many times. Perhaps an unwelcome guest the one time we used Ann's oven to bake some aircraft cylinders that had been just repainted. Not sure I was ever forgiven for being a part of that.
And now I mention his greatest passion and that was the love and pride he had with his family. Each time we talked a major part of the conversation was about Paul, Jim, Monica and John. What they were doing and what they accomplished. And accomplished you are! Obviously inheriting the spirit and enthusiasm their Father had and clearly a passion for their respective careers.
I was saddened when learning his flying and skiing came to an end. In the past few years we lost touch as too frequently happens as age creeps up on us. Why? Was Burlington so far away that I could not get there? Did I forget how to use the telephone? Now the stark reality is that it is too late.
Ann, my thoughts and wishes are with you; you and Bob were a big part of those early years of my life and I treasure all of those memories. Happy for a life well lived, happy for how you both influenced my life and saddened by the loss of a very close friend.
Paul, Jim, Monica and John; you can know that your father had touched so many people positively and his spirit helped them have fuller lives. I know how you are experiencing the loss, but trust that memories of your father will be with you all of your lives and always a guiding influence.
In all sincerity and sadness that I could not be with you this morning.

Bob and I met in the late 60s-Early 70s as IBM managers during the days of the Automated Air Track semiconductor Alpha Line design and install. His intelligence and willingness to cooperate/modify the strategy for equipment/airtrack installation made for a good working relationship. he shifted willingly from the use of hard wired control logic and data collection to software and computers using Burlington software courtesy of George Leonovich and Morris Grove. A true professional and a true gentleman who is truly missed. Jim Schumacher
Andy Anderson
My deepest condolences to Ann and family.
Bob was passionate about MIT and brought many of students to IBM as part of the coop program. Not only did he ensure we had great opportunities to learn engineering, he also shared your his family as part of dinner at your house. He also introduced most of us to water skiing.
He will be missed by all those he touched.
Jeffrey Spencer
I was one of the many that Bob taught to fly. I was but 16, a CAP cadet, and he would meet me at 6am most mornings to fly N5121F, the CAP aircraft in Burlington.
I fondly remember during final approach hearing "geeeze! …watch your airspeed" many times.
He was a true aviator and his willingness to teach anyone — for no charge — is a testament to his commitment to aviation and to those, like me, whom he taught.
My relationship with Bob continued beyond that as I was often tapped as unskilled labor to help perform maintenance and inspections of CAP aircraft. I remember being taught by Bob how to grease wheel bearings — in cold hangars with Bob and Jeff Gear, the latter complaining bitterly about the cold. I learned a great deal including about how cold a concrete floor can be in the dead of winter. Again, endless dedication exhibited by Bob.
I did get to know Bob's family, especially during my college years. I am not sure if he knew it but decades later after I had kids that he and his skiing family were my inspiration to become a ski patroller — first at Labrador Mountain and then, for 23 years to date, at Smugglers Notch.
What he taught me most was humanity and dedication, and I will be forever in his debt.
I am so fortunate to have had him in my life.

My condolences to the family.
At the first meeting I attended in Civil Air Patrol, I was fascinated with the indepth report the Colonel gave. In the meetings that followed he explained things so well, had great patience when members had questions, delivered and received constructive criticism in a way that I'd never seen. He made sure he understood others and that they understood him. It was an art. I soon realized it was not just CAP training but a reall love for what he did. I will miss him.
Bryan Holland
I met Col. Fiorenza / Bob through the Civil Air Patrol. I truly enjoyed his mentorship and guidance in all things CAP and aviation. I also enjoyed his stories of past missions, Oshkosh, and his time flying to Gander, Newfoundland (CYQX) where I grew up. Bob was a gentle and detailed gentleman who kept us safe and professional aviators. I will miss seeing him at CAP, and extend my condolences to your family. Sincerely, Capt. Bryan Holland, Vermont Wing - CAP.
Audrey Holm-Hansen
Bob was larger than life. He was an amazing mentor who found a balance between work and fun. We worked together fixing airplanes, balanced with time flying and water skiing. I learned a lot from him. My deepest condolences to his family.
Kristen Calcagni Johnson
I have such wonderful memories of skiing at Mad River with Bob through my medical years and beyond as well as time being on the boat and learning to get up on a single water ski while listening to John Denver. He was so happy to share his knowledge of his hobbies and skills and to learn from those around him. He cared so much for his wonderful family and everyone around them. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to know him over the years. I hope to be able to attend the services this weekend, but am supposed to be on call and in the office in NH. Know that my prayers are with you all if I can't be there in person.
Linda Bouyea
Dear Ann,
Peter and I were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. What a beautiful life you shared. We regret that we are not in Burlington to attend his funeral mass, but our prayers are with you and your family at this time.

A family get- to- gather.
Bob loved to take pictures. Every family occasion was recorded. Winnie McCormick
Colonel Bob Fiorenza, receiving an award at a Civil Air Patrol ceremony in 2019.
Robert (Bob) Fiorenza passed away on Saturday, November 5, 2022. He had a full life and continued to live actively in the face of Parkinson's disease up until his final days. When he died, he was surrounded by his wife, his four children, their spouses and all nine of his grandchildren.
Our husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather lead a fascinating and blessed life.
Bob was born and raised in the Bronx, New York, the single son of George N. and T. Katherine (Armeny) Fiorenza. Both of his parents had professional careers, so he spent his summers at his maternal grandmother's house on Candlewood Lake, Connecticut under the care of his grandmother and Aunt Marie. He spent long summers swimming, waterskiing, fixing boat engines and taking care of his pet ducks, Jennifer and Gertrude. When he was five years old, he met his future wife, Ann Belanger, who lived nearby. He attended All Hallows School, Bronx, NY, and Xavier High School, Manhattan, NY. He excelled academically in things he thought were important, like math, and did not excel in "unimportant things", like Latin.
From an early age, Bob displayed a core characteristic that guided his life. He decided for himself what was important and focused on those topics without getting too distracted by topics that the world thought were important.
At his mother's urging, Bob applied to many top universities, but the school he really cared about was MIT. He enrolled there in 1958, studied Course VI (Electrical Engineering) and graduated in 1962. His time at MIT was focused on his studies, but he left plenty of room for other things that were important. He spent vast amounts of time at the MIT Sailing Pavilion on the Charles River, where he became a Bosun, the highest level of sailing proficiency, authority and responsibility. He was also active in the model railroad club. He lived in the East Campus dorm, where he met students who were making an early computer program to play chess (Alex Kotok and others). At the end of the semester, the chess programming team had extra computer time and they decided to blow it on a single game (as opposed to individual chess moves). We believe he was the first person in history to play a full game of chess against the first credible computer chess program (the Kotok-McCarthy Program).
Bob joined IBM in 1962 and worked there for 40 years, first in East Fishkill NY and later in Burlington VT. He started his career as a test engineer and made one of the first systems to test computer chips for the System 360/91 mainframe, a model that was later installed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight center. He later built a team to develop an electron-beam lithography system to replace the conventional optical lithography systems. The e-beam system was ahead of its time in the 1970s and still is ahead of its time today. He was involved in the development of the original IBM PC. A good part of his career was also focused on managing a group that designed DIMMs for IBM DRAM. He played an active and enthusiastic role in recruiting new engineers for IBM. Many of the engineers he recruited went on to have long careers as engineers or managers in the semiconductor industry, even advancing to the CEO level. For more than 20 years he made an annual trip to MIT to recruit students for the VI-A internship program, many of whom came to Vermont for the summer.
Bob was dedicated to his job, but he didn't let this interfere with what he knew was also important: flying airplanes, fixing airplanes, snow skiing and waterskiing. He pursued these activities with a zeal that is only seen in true believers in a cause. In 1975, he moved to Burlington, VT as the perfect place to focus on these important activities of life.
He was an avid pilot, instructor pilot and airplane owner. He owned a single engine Piper Comanche with several partners who became his close friends. The plane number was N1VT and he would sometimes be mistaken for the Governor. Governor Snelling tried to buy the number from him and his partners, but they declined. Much of his work with airplanes was done as a volunteer for the Vermont Civil Air Patrol. He became an FAA-certified Airframe and PowerPlant Mechanic to avoid the hassle of needing to get an inspector to inspect the CAP planes. The FAA mechanic certification is an accomplishment rarely achieved by a non-professional mechanic and he scored 100% on the written exam. As part of the CAP, he occasionally woke up in the middle of the night to join other members of the CAP to search for an airplane that had crashed in the mountains of Vermont. He saved one person's life when a seaplane flipped over on a cold day in Malletts Bay. Seeing this from the shore, he commandeered a boat, located a drowning woman and revived her with CPR.
For 50 years he was a volunteer member of the Mad River Glen Ski Patrol. He skied virtually every weekend of every winter between about 1970 and about 2018. He was a National Ski Patrol Senior Patroller, Senior Ski & Toboggan Instructor, Senior Outdoor Emergency Care Instructor as well as serving as the Southern Section Chief of the NSP Northern Vermont region. Eventually, he was awarded a national NSP appointment to recognize his contributions to patrolling. He also specialized in fixing the patrol's radios.
Bob built a strong family that became central to his life. He courted his neighbor at Candlewood Lake, Ann Belanger, from the time he was five years old until they were married 24 years later on July 19, 1969. They were married at St Joseph's Church in Brookfield, Connecticut, and set off on their honeymoon the next day. Of course, they headed straight to the airport and climbed into Bob's plane to fly to the Virgin Islands, and then to British Columbia on a three-week trip. During the initial take-off, they could hear the radio communication between the Apollo 11 astronauts and the ground station as part of the first moon landing in history. Naturally, that mission was enabled by the IBM mainframes that Bob had helped to build.
Over the following years, Bob and Ann built their family together. They moved to Vermont and had a house built in Burlington, one block from Lake Champlain. They were blessed with five children, Paul, Jim, Monica, John and Mary. Sadly, Mary died at birth and her parents always kept her memory in their hearts. Paul, Jim, Monica and John enjoyed an incredible childhood trying to keep up with their father and his hobbies. The home did not have a television, leaving plenty of time for other things. They skied as a family every weekend in the winter at Mad River Glen; no other activities were permitted during the winter. They enjoyed many summer days waterskiing on Lake Champlain, the Waterbury Reservoir, Lake Iroquois and Candlewood Lake, always searching for smooth water and an open slalom course. They took many trips in N1VT, all packed into the small cockpit for a week trip to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina or day trips to Nantucket, or epic flights to Disneyworld in Florida (where Bob admired the Disney engineering). The fun even had a soundtrack: ABBA, John Denver, Ann Murray and the National Weather Service were the only things worth listening to.
Bob retired in 2002 and spent his retirement doing the same hobbies: flying, fixing airplanes, skiing, and waterskiing. The children eventually grew up and moved away, some near and some far. However, a yearly vacation continued, to Cape Hatteras or to Candlewood, and the kids often met him to ski or to water ski. Soon the grandchildren started showing up, eventually nine in all including two boys and seven girls. He enthusiastically shared his passions with his grandchildren and they are well on their way to becoming excellent skiers and waterskiers (or wake surfers), and engineers. One of the highlights of his retirement was the month-long trip that Ann and Bob took in their own airplane from Burlington to Alaska and back. Bob's Parkinson's slowed him down somewhat, but he focused on managing the disease with the same zeal as if it was another hobby, and he enjoyed his life until the end.
Bob was a man of strong faith throughout his life. He was a committed member of the Catholic Church. He was a parishioner at Christ the King Parish, in Burlington, VT for 50 years. He sat in the front row. He was not preachy, but he made up for this with an absolute certainty of faith. He took several trips to visit the pilgrimage site in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to the Holy Land. He got to know a number of the priests at Christ the King and in the Burlington area, including Fr. Daniel Rupp, Fr. Justin Baker and Monsignor John Mcdermott. For a year, he and Ann hosted Giang Vu, a seminarian from Vietnam. Bob taught Giang to drive and included him in the family as a son. With Giang's encouragement, Bob joined the Saint John Vianney Council of the Knights of Columbus.
Looking back, we believe that Bob led a very successful life. What was his secret? He intuitively knew some things that maybe we can all learn from in our attempts to live well. 1) As things came into his life, he decide for himself what was important; 2) He focused on the important things without worrying too much about what other people believed he should focus on; 3) He got deeply involved with and made contributions to organizations that he believed in; 4) He had faith, he didn't worry about the future, he didn't worry about the past, and he focused on the present because there were so many interesting things to do. And that made for a great life.
As we said, our husband, father, father-in-law and grandfather lead a fascinating and blessed life. He had a truly unique view of the world, he made an impact on so many people and he will be greatly, greatly missed.
Bob was predeceased by his Parents and his daughter Mary. He is survived by his wife Ann, their children Paul (Jennifer Galster) of Oakton, VA, James (Kimberly Tresch) of Carlisle, MA, Monica (Gregory McCormick) of Hinesburg, VT and John (Juliana Kaminome) of Carlisle, MA, and by their grandchildren, Nicholas Fiorenza, Matthew Fiorenza, Katherine Fiorenza, Sophia Fiorenza, Fiona McCormick, Charlotte Fiorenza, Mattea McCormick, Celia McCormick and Mariana Fiorenza.
Speech at Funeral
My name is Paul, Bob and Ann's eldest child, and its my honor to take a few minutes to discuss my father's legacy on behalf of our family.
I wear this uniform to honor my father who was foundational to my career, We were blessed to have my dad present for my retirement ceremony last month, so I wear this uniform one last time in his honor.
Each of us has had a different experience and has viewed and interacted and existed with my father from a slightly different vantage point. So I don't believe it's possible to address all of this complexity standing here today.
The only thing I can do is talk about his legacy based on my experience with my Father as Dad, flight instructor, ski instructor, and life instructor.
And so I think his legacy comes down to this. He was a Teacher, and a man of deep faith. He married a teacher, and they supported each other for 53 years marriage.
He developed deep interests in many topics, but the thing that gave him the most joy was the opportunity to share his love of these activities with other people. He was a man of faith; faith in a religious sense, but also faith in the choices he made in his life, and faith in the people that he surrounded himself with.
My dad was a man on a mission. Whether it be his time at MIT, or at IBM. Or his time working with the Civil Air Patrol, Mad River Ski Patrol and first aid, or his activity with the Catholic Church, and the Vietnamese community in Vermont, he spent his life doing things, and learning, and teaching. He impacted so many people with diverse backgrounds and interests.
He loved each of these activities and he loved the people he interacted with. He loved engineering, and flying, and fixing airplanes and cars and boats, and skiing, and water skiing, and the institution and people that make up the Catholic Church.
But most of all, he loved teaching about these things. Teaching was a way for him to experience the richness of life that came from God. It was through his sharing of knowledge with others that he was able to reconcile his spiritual-intellectual curiosity with his deep understanding of math and physics and the physical world.
Teaching English and local culture to Giang,a new Catholic Seminarian from Vietnam, teaching kids and grandkids skiing, teaching mom how to fly, me how to fly, teaching 100s of others how to fly, always for free, teaching mechanic skills and first aid skills, teaching waterskiing to anyone who dared step onto his boat
Growing up in the rich environment that my Dad created had an incredible impact on me and my siblings and taught us an appreciation for a job well done, and lifelong hobbies, and a unique perspective of endless possibilities, if you just got up every morning and took action.
This was a man who would get up every weekend morning before everyone else so that we could race out the door to go skiing by precisely 6:45. And if it snowed we'd get up 30 minutes earlier to shovel the driveway and race through the darkness in our old red suburban to make it to the ski area before first light.
In the summer we'd all be up at first light to make it onto the lake before anyone else, because that's when the water is calmest for waterskiing.
And we'd take our annual camping pilgrimage to Cape Hatteras North Carolina, to the same beach year after year because that's where he calculated there was the warmest water and best surfing waves on the East Coast.
When I was older and I started flying more with my dad, again, we'd race out of the house at first light to go to the airport, and I'd check the weather and file the flight plan, and then he would say "you know, we really should change the oil" or "let's just fix a few of those old rivets first". Eventually, we'd go flying and it was perfect. He knew every bolt and screw and cable was just right. And he was flying with his son. And I was flying with my dad, my teacher.
The thread through all of this was his deep spirituality and his Catholic faith. He believed in and practiced the teaching of the Church. He went to church weekly, sat in the front row, and made friends with many priests including Fr. Daniel Rupp, Fr. Justin Baker and Monsignor John Mcdermott, Monsignor Roland Revard, Monsignor John Fradet.
My Dad was always interested, sometimes without filter, of engaging in conversation about politics and religion. He was not judgmental in any way, it's just that he was curious to understand how others could reconcile the miracles and mysteries of life. Therefore my dad had an extremely diverse group of friends that he respected. And he loved spending time with all of the characters from the Ski Patrol and Civil Air Patrol, and the Catholic community, and of course, his family.
It is only recently that I have come to better understand how his teaching has impacted and inspired others. My dad had a special way to not just teach skills, but also how and why things worked in a certain way. Again, there was a measure of spirituality in his interactions with people because I believe he saw teaching and sharing his skills and knowledge as a testament to the greatness and wonder of the physical world that came as a gift from God.
I will close with one short example of this approach where he was teaching on multiple levels at the same time. Over twenty years ago he had a new flight student that he knew fairly well, and of course, they had engaged in discussions about politics and religion. It's fair to say his student had a different view of religion, which my dad certainly accepted, but was always a bit curious about.
So during a training flight early in the program they set up a practice stall where the aircraft would be slowed to the point where it would no longer have lift. Now, when executed correctly the maneuver is fairly mild with a minimum loss of altitude. This particular stall did not work out so well and the aircraft rolled and entered a dive towards the ground. The student didn't know how to react and became concerned when Dad simply sat there and watched with his hands in his lap. As the aircraft continued to spiral to the ground my dad calmly said "if God wants us to fly, we will fly
Now, this did nothing to reassure his new student. As the ground grew closer and the student became more concerned, with just a slight smile my dad said "push the stick forward". God smiled, and the aircraft flew again.
So, dad, may you rest in peace knowing that your legacy echoes through the generations, through your four children and nine grand children, and family, and all those who you have instructed about the incredible beauty of our world.
As you've been promoted from this earth to a heavenly place may you always have fair winds and blue skies, smooth water and knee deep powder. With God as your waterski boat safety spotter and your aircraft copilot, may you soar with the angels and know that you have influenced us all deeply and that we all love you.

Thanks for taking me in, welcoming me to your wonderful family, on my first summer, away from home, away from my twin, as I was an intern at IBM. I have precious memories of those summers in Burlington, of Bob as a Mentor, Teacher and his infectious curiosity. In one case, he watched me eat corn on the cob, like a typewriter, and was amazed that my twin did the same thing. Bob, you were a wonderful person, touching everyone who knew you. May the memories ease the loss. My deepest condolences to the Fiorenza family. Virtual Hugs to you all. Alice
You turkey!!
by Jeffrey Gear
To say Bob was influential to me wouldn't be close to correct. As I got to know him at the CAP I realized that he was a rare man. A man of intellect and true values but with a dry wit which I loved to poke at. He enlisted my help with the airplanes, seemingly always in the winter in the freezing unheated hangers, which seemed to delight him as I complained bitterly. I got know his crew and came to realize nothing was more important to him. Ann and the kids were always so open and supportive if maybe not completely understanding me since I am pretty much the polar (pun intended) opposite of Bob.
But we did good work together and I learned countless new things with him, not the least of which was what it meant to be a good person.
I will always miss him and remember fondly (mostly) his buzzing rejoinder at my endless whining about the cold, YOU TURKEY!!
Thank you for your mentorship sir.

Initiative for Open Abstracts Launches to Promote Discovery of Research
A new cross-publisher initiative calls for unrestricted availability of abstracts to boost the discovery of research
The Initiative for Open Abstracts (I4OA) calls on scholarly publishers to open their abstracts, and specifically to deposit them with Crossref. Unrestricted availability of abstracts will boost the discovery of research. 40 publishers have already agreed to support I4OA and to make their abstracts openly available. I4OA is also supported by a large number of research funders, libraries and library associations, infrastructure providers, and open science organizations.
24 September 2020 - The Initiative for Open Abstracts (I4OA) calls on all scholarly publishers to open the abstracts of their publications, and specifically to distribute them through Crossref, in order to facilitate large-scale access and promote discovery of critical research. I4OA—a collaboration between scholarly publishers, academic librarians, researchers, infrastructure providers and other stakeholders—will launch at the online conference of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) on September 24th.
I4OA has been established to advocate and promote the unrestricted availability of the abstracts of scholarly publications, particularly journal articles and book chapters.
Stuart Taylor, Director of Publishing at the Royal Society says:
Abstracts summarize the content of scholarly publications, and their wide availability will boost discoverability and draw readers, both human and machine, to the full text.
Making abstracts openly available thus helps scholarly publishers to maximize the visibility and reach of their journals and books. Open abstracts make it easier for scholars to discover, read and then cite these publications; promotes their inclusion in systematic reviews; expands and simplifies the use of text mining, natural language processing and artificial intelligence techniques in bibliometric analyses; and facilitates scholarship across all disciplines by those without subscription access to commercial bibliographic services.
Many abstracts are already available in various bibliographic databases, but these sources have limitations, for example because they require a subscription, are not machine-accessible, or are restricted to a specific discipline.
Bringing the abstracts from many publishers and from multiple disciplines together without these restrictions will enable new kinds of discovery tools and analyses, without requiring us to individually scrape millions of article pages at thousands of publisher websites , says Vincent Larivière, Professor of Information Sciences at l'Université de Montréal.
Making abstracts available only for human (eyeball) reading on publisher websites is not sufficient adds Ludo Waltman, Deputy Director of Leiden University's Centre for Science and Technology Studies and coordinator of I4OA.
Crossref is a not-for-profit infrastructure organization used by many publishers to register and share Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for their publications.
Crossref already has the capacity to bring abstracts together in a common format in one global, cross-disciplinary repository through an open API. At present however, publishers submit abstracts for only ~7% of the publications that we record , says Ginny Hendricks, Director of Member & Community Outreach at Crossref.
I4OA calls on all scholarly publishers using Crossref to make their abstracts openly available by depositing them with Crossref. This can be done as part of established workflows that publishers already have in place for submitting publication metadata to Crossref.
40 publishers, listed below, have already agreed to support I4OA and to submit their abstracts to Crossref. Support for I4OA has also been expressed by 56 other stakeholders, also listed below, including global research funders, libraries and library associations, infrastructure providers, and open science organizations, demonstrating the importance and relevance of this Initiative to the scholarly community.
I4OA was inspired by the success of the Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC), which encourages the submission of references to Crossref. Since the launch of I4OC in 2017, over two thousand scholarly publishers have chosen to make the reference lists of their journal articles and book chapters openly available through Crossref. I4OA, which will be announced at the OASPA conference on September 24th 2020, aims to replicate the success of I4OC by achieving a rapid jump in the open availability of scholarly abstracts via Crossref.
Mandy Hill, Managing Director of Academic Publishing at Cambridge University Press, said:
Authors' abstracts are a key tool for literature discovery, and we're delighted to support this initiative to create a high quality corpus of freely accessible abstracts in Crossref.
Stephanie Paalvast, Head of Open Research at Brill, said:
At Brill we are already experiencing the advantages of opening up abstracts on the impact of the research we publish. It has helped our authors to receive more downloads, our journals to become more visible; and supports institutional and funder ambitions for open metadata. We are delighted to join the efforts of I4OA to maximize the uptake of this practice across the publishing industry, and ultimately contribute to enhanced access and impact.
Stephanie Dawson, CEO of ScienceOpen, said:
I strongly support the efforts of I4OA to make abstracts freely accessible alongside article metadata. Already many publishers are convinced that it is in the best interest of authors and journals to open their abstracts, as it leads to more views and greater impact of their work. I4OA is exactly what we need now to raise awareness of the advantages for publishers of open abstracts and to promote metadata best practices.

Dennis Lee Eckersley (né le  en Oakland, Californie, États-Unis) est lanceur partant et lanceur de relève droitier de la Ligue majeure de baseball. Il est élu au Temple de la renommée du baseball en 2004 après une carrière de 24 saisons s'étant déroulée de 1975 à 1998. Eckersley remporte le trophée Cy Young du meilleur lanceur et gagne le prix du joueur de l'année dans la Ligue américaine avec les A's d'Oakland en 1992. Il lance un match sans point ni coup sûr pour les Red Sox de Boston en 1978, remporte la Série mondiale 1989 avec Oakland et est invité à six matchs d'étoiles.

Lanceur partant

Eckersley a commencé sa carrière comme lanceur partant avec les Indians de Cleveland. Lors de sa première saison il a gagné 13 parties pour 7 perdues avec une moyenne de points mérités de 2,60. Il a même lancé un match sans point ni coup sûr contre les Angels de Californie le . En 1978, il fut transféré aux Red Sox de Boston où il a gagné 20 parties en 1978 et 17 parties en 1979. Entre 1980 et 1984, il n'a pas été aussi performant, et a gagné 43 parties pour 48 perdues. En 1984, Eckersley fut acquis par les Cubs de Chicago dans la Ligue nationale où il a gagné 27 parties pour 26 perdues.

Releveur

En 1987, Eckersley a été transféré aux Athletics d'Oakland où, après avoir gagné 70 parties pour 74 perdues entre 1980 et 1986, il est devenu lanceur de relève. Après que son stoppeur Jay Howell se soit blessé, Tony La Russa a choisi Eckersley comme stoppeur. Très vite, il s'est distingué par ses résultats, avec 320 sauvetages en 9 saisons avec les Athletics. Il représente les A's au match des étoiles en 1988, 1990, 1991 et 1992, pour un total de 6 sélections en carrière. Il joue en Série mondiale trois années consécutives avec Oakland et participe à la conquête de la Série mondiale 1989, enregistrant le sauvetage et le dernier retrait aux dépens de Brett Butler des Giants de San Francisco dans le dernier match.

En 1990 pour Oakland, Eckersley n'accorde que 5 points mérités en 73 manches et un tiers lancées pour une incroyable moyenne de points mérités de 0,61.

En 1992, il a enregistré 51 sauvetages avec 7 victoires pour une défaite, une moyenne de 1,91 et 93 retraits sur les prises. À la fin de la saison, il fut élu le joueur par excellence de la Ligue américaine et aussi le vainqueur du trophée Cy Young. Il est le troisième releveur à gagner le Cy Young et le titre de meilleur joueur la même année après Rollie Fingers en 1981 et Willie Hernández en 1984. Eckersley est le dernier releveur en date à gagner le Cy Young dans l'Américaine alors que seuls Steve Bedrosian en 1987 et Éric Gagné en 2003 l'ont reçu dans la Ligue nationale.

Il est élu releveur de l'année dans la Ligue américaine en 1988 et 1992.

Il est le premier lanceur de l'histoire à connaître une saison de 20 victoires et une autre saison de 50 sauvetages. Seul John Smoltz a réédité l'exploit.

Eckersley a fini sa carrière avec les Cardinals de Saint-Louis où il a enregistré 66 sauvetages en deux saisons, avant de passer sa dernière saison avec les Red Sox, où il a eu un seul sauvetage. À la fin de sa carrière, il avait accumulé 197 victoires et 390 sauvetages. Ce total, 587, est le meilleur total de l'histoire de la Ligue majeure (Trevor Hoffman est classé second avec 518 sauvetages et 52 victoires, soit un total de 570). Seuls John Smoltz et Eckersley ont gagné 20 parties en une saison et ont eu 50 sauvetages en une saison. Il est actuellement classé  pour les sauvetages et était classé  après Lee Smith au moment de sa retraite. Sa dernière partie en 1998 fut sa 1071 partie lancée, et a donc dépassé Hoyt Wilhelm pour la  place sur le classement des parties lancées. Ce record fut battu en 1999 par Jesse Orosco.

030168 KU International Judicial Decisions and their Political Context (2020W)
Registration is open from Mo 07.09.2020 00:01 to Su 04.10.2020 23:59
Jane Alice Hofbauer
Eva Wiesinger
The class is scheduled to take place "in presence" and the lecture hall provides sufficient space to respect the necessary distance rules. An alternative online format is prepared in case the university measures require to switch to digital teaching (which can be implemented also throughout the semester).
Thursday 08.10. 17:00 - 20:00 Hörsaal U18 Schottenbastei 10-16, Juridicum, KG1 (Kickoff Class)
Thursday 22.10. 17:00 - 20:00 Hörsaal U22 Schottenbastei 10-16, Juridicum, KG2
The class is addressed to law students with at least a basic knowledge of public international law (sources of international law, principles of international law, role of states and individuals). The class will focus on the analysis of several decisions rendered by the International Court of Justice during the last decades, put the legal issues in their political context, and evaluate how the ICJ performs its judicial function when confronted with political issues.
International affairs and politics continuously shape the development of international law, with international courts and tribunals as one of the actors to foster this development. Up until the early 20th century, international law in fact was not seen as a separate discipline but rather a continuation of politics at the international level. Yet, international law binds states and creates rights and obligations for its subjects. Questions answered throughout class include: Can political conflicts be settled by law? How are international judicial organs susceptible to political influence? Which type of cases are brought to the ICJ and why? What is the function of the ICJ as the principal judicial organ of the United Nations in the settlement of international disputes? To which extent does the ICJ foster the development of international law? Are judgments by the ICJ "effective"?
Students will be assigned a case and literature for an oral presentation.
Class participation and an (open book/media) final written exam make up the further elements.
Oral presentation of a case (40%), participation in class (20%), final written exam (40%) - a total of 60% must be reached for a positive assessment
Students will be provided with basic reading materials on their respective cases, but are expected to conduct further research.
will be provided on moodle

Arteriovenous Malformations - Medical Malpractice Lawyers
Our medical malpractice lawyers deal with Arteriovenous Malformations negligence cases. If you would like legal advice at no cost and with no further obligation just call the helpline or complete the contact form or email our lawyers offices. Our Arteriovenous Malformations medical malpractice lawyers usually deal with personal injury compensation cases on a contingency basis which means that you only pay your lawyers legal fees if the case is won.
Arteriovenous Malformations - Medical Malpractice
Arteriovenous malformations usually occur in the brain and involve an unusual and abnormal connection between the veins and the arteries. It usually occurs from birth, making AVMs congenital but the symptoms don't tend to come until later in life. Arteriovenous malformations can also occur in other body areas, particularly in the spine. The cause of an AVM is completely unclear.
Many people do not know they have an arteriovenous malformation until they experience symptoms. Seizures can be a major symptom as can headaches. There can be rupture of the arteriovenous malformation, which can lead to brain hemorrhage and bleeding. This can be very dangerous and even deadly. If diagnosed early enough, however, the AVM can be treated so that the bleeding complication does not occur.
The signs and symptoms of an AVM within the brain include a bruit or swooshing sound heard when examining the skull with a stethoscope. You can have seizures that come on all of a sudden. Headaches can occur and there can be progressive numbness or weakness of the body because of the AVM. There can be stroke-like symptoms including a sudden headache, which is severe, paralysis of one side of the body, tingling or numbness on one side of the body or one limb, loss of vision, difficulty speaking or understanding the spoken word and uncoordination.
The symptoms usually come up before the age of 50. The AVM can cause damage to the brain if not treated in time. Symptoms are common in young adulthood. If you have an AVM and reach middle age, the AVM becomes more stable and you often have resolution of your symptoms. Symptoms can show up during pregnancy because of the increase in blood volume and blood flow during pregnancy.
Arteriovenous malformations tend to occur during foetal development. Exactly why this occurs is not clear. In a brain AVM, the blood passes from the arteries to the veins via vessels that are abnormal and are not capillaries. It changes the way blood flows through the veins in your brain and you have problems with getting circulation to nerve cells in the area of the AVM.
Risk factors for arteriovenous malformations include being of a male gender and having a family history of AVMs. It isn't known exactly how the genetic influence goes in such cases.
The diagnosis of an arteriovenous malformation usually requires the skill of a neurologist and a radiologist who can read scans of the brain. One test is called a cerebral arteriography or cerebral angiography. This is a detailed test that shows AVMs very clearly. Dye is sent up to the brain and x-rays look for the AVM. It is easy to see an AVM via this method. Another test is a CT scan of the brain. Dye can be injected into the vein before the test to show the arteries and veins more easily. This is then called a CT angiogram. An MRI scan of the brain can also show up an AVM. It is a more sensitive test than a CT scan of the brain so the images are easier to see. An MRI can show the exact location of the AVM, which can help doctors decide on a treatment. Dye can be injected into the brain and an MRI scan can be done in what's called an MRI angiography test.
Treatment of an AVM depends on the symptoms a person has and on the size and location of the AVM. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice and involves removing a section of skull, finding the AVM and using a microscope to find and remove the AVM using suture and usual surgical technique. It is done whenever the risk of bleeding is higher than the risk of doing the surgery.
Another procedure is called endovascular embolization, which means that a tube is inserted into the leg and is threaded up into the AVM. A glue-like material is injected into the AVM in order to block blood flow through the AVM. The AVM then "dries up".
Stereotactic radiosurgery uses precisely focused radiation. The radiation can kill off the AVM, which slowly clots itself off. It works best when the situation isn't life threatening and you have the time to allow the AVM to clot off.

Australia: WFTU solidarizes with Hutchison ports laid off workers
AUSTRALIA, TRANSPORT
Port workers in Sydney and Brisbane have started a picket on August 8th after nearly 100 workers were sacked via email and text message last Thursday night in what the company has described as a "difficult situation".
Various organizations in Australia and abroad have solidarized with the port workers and their struggle. The WFTU Secretariat has issued a solidarity message, stating that it stands "by the side of the fighting workers and their rights to work, salary and trade union rights".

Time Capsule- Faith
May/17/ 2015
Mark 6:6 "He was amazed at their lack of faith."
Luke 7:9 "When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, "I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.
Rate your faith this past week:
Lack of faith 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Great faith

Key Thought: Small seeds produce big fruit
Time Capsule- Integrity
What is Integrity?
INTEGRITY: WHEN YOUR BEHAVIOR MATCHES YOUR BELIEFS.
Proverbs 10:9. "The one who lives with integrity lives securely"
1 Peter 2:12 "Conduct yourselves honorably among the Gentiles, so that in a case where they speak against you as those who do evil, they may, by seeing your good works, glorify God in a day of visitation".
Where is Integrity tested?
In tempting circumstances, stay away
1 Peter 2:11 "Dear friends, I urge you as aliens and temporary residents to abstain from fleshly desires that war against you"
6 So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph's care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.
Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, 7 and after a while his master's wife took notice of Joseph and said, "Come to bed with me!"
8 But he refused. "With me in charge," he told her, "my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. 9 No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?" 10 And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.
11 One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. 12 She caught him by his cloak and said, "Come to bed with me!" But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
2. In authoritative situations, show respect
1 Peter 2:13-14, 17 "Submit to every human institution because of the Lord, whether to the Emperor as the supreme authority, or to governors as those sent out by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. . . . Honor everyone"
3. In the work environment, stand for what is right
1 Peter 2:18 "Household slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel".
4. In suffering, seek God
1 Peter 2:19 "For it [brings] favor if, because of conscience toward God, someone endures grief from suffering unjustly".
Who models Integrity?
Jesus lived a perfect sinless life.
Jesus showed us that greatness comes through humility and serving others.
Jesus defeated the very problem that causes some of our modern day role models to fall.
Luke 23:4 "I find no grounds for charging this man".
1 Peter 2:21 "For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in His steps".
What are the Benefits of Integrity?
1. YOU CAN WALK CLOSELY WITH GOD.
David asks in
Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
2. YOU'LL HAVE A BUILT IN GUIDE.
Proverbs 11:3 "The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity."
3. YOU'LL HAVE A CONSTANT PEACE IN YOUR HEART.
4 .YOU GAIN TRUST, RESPECT, HONOR, AND INFLUENCE.
PROVERBS 20:7 A righteous man who walks in his integrity How blessed are his sons after him.
Time Capsule- Honor
Malachi 1:6 "The Lord of Heaven's Armies says to the priests: "A son honors his father, and a servant respects his master. If I am your father and master, where are the honor and respect I deserve? You have shown contempt for my name!
Mark 6:1-6 "Jesus left that part of the country and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown. 2 The next Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. They asked, "Where did he get all this wisdom and the power to perform such miracles?" 3 Then they scoffed, "He's just a carpenter, the son of Mary[a] and the brother of James, Joseph,[b] Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us." They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.
4 Then Jesus told them, "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family." 5 And because of their unbelief, he couldn't do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 And he was amazed at their unbelief."
Verse 5 "Because of their disbelief, he could not do any miracles among them."
4 things about honor.
What is honor?
Honor: to add value, to give worth, to treat as precious or valuable. Very literally it means to give weight to something.
Dishonor: to treat as if it is not valuable. to remove weight, to take something lightly.
Familiarity causes dishonor.
Mark 6:4 "Jesus said to them 'Only in his hometown among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor."
2. Who do we honor?
6 people we are called to honor…
Exodus 20:12 "Honor your father and mother, so that you may live long in the Land your God is giving you."
2. Those in authority
Romans 13:7 (NLT) "Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority."
I Peter 2:13 (NLT) "For the Lord's sake, submit to all human authority—whether the king as head of state, 14 or the officials he has appointed…"
3. Our spouse
I Peter 3:1 "…wives must accept the authority of your husbands.
Verse 7 "in the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives."
4. Those who are faithful
Philippians 2:22 " But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
verse 29 " So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,"
5. Our pastors and church leaders
I Timothy 5:17 "The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching."
I Thessalonians 5:12 (NLT) "Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord's work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance."
6. Each other
Romans 12:10 "Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
Romans 12:10 (ESV) " Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor."
3. Why do we lack honor?
All true honor is born out of a heart that is truly honoring to God.
Matthew 15:8 "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."
4. How do we honor?
Honor is not about what does someone deserve, instead it's about what have I decided to do.
I Peter 2:13-17 "Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, 14 or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. 15 For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. 16 Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slaves. 17 Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor."
Key thought for today: WE HONOR GOD BY HONORING OTHERS

The most important criteria for the production of quality wine is climate.
Similar to good food which can only be made with good, high quality ingredients, great wine can only be made with good fruit with the winemaker being the custodian of the fruit in the cellar.
The world's greatest table wines traditionally come from the cool to intermediate temperature climates and the Cape South Coast with its large diversity of altitudes, aspects (N, S, W and E) and distance from the Atlantic has average climates in the cool to intermediate classification.
Grapes planted in their optimum climate result in physiological ripening of grapes, with sugar, acid and ph being in balance to produce wines of distinction. Cool to intermediate climate wines are characterized by lower alcohols, delicate fruit and good, balanced, natural acidity. When grapes are planted in warmer climates than optimum, reasonable to good wines can be produced but they tend to have higher alcohol levels and could show as sweet, hot (alcohol too high) and jammy. In these areas producers will sometimes pick at lower sugar levels to get lower alcohols but these wines will often show a green character.
Careful canopy management, soils, aspect (orientation of slopes) and irrigation can, to a limited extent influence the micro-climate of the vine and counter some of the effects of excessive temperatures.
The ideal condition for ripening grapes is in declining temperatures moving towards harvest in March and April which is generally the case in the Cape South Coast.

Q: Sum of the number of event from each date interval in R I have a actual data with massive time intervals, i.e. event_start date (say 2014-10-1), event_end date (2014-12-1), and I also have a reference data set which keeps the whether there is a specific event happened within each day, for example: if there is a event happened in 2014-10-2 and 2014-11-3, the record will be "1", otherwise "0".
what I want to do is to create a variable in the actual data set which indicates the sum of event number between those event start/end dates, i.e. if there were 100 event happened between 2014-10-1 and 2014-12-1, then the variable of this lane will be 100.
I know in R we can use dplyr to group each starting and ending dates and mutate a new variable. Can anyone tell me how to do it exactly?
Much appreciated.

A: Use lubridate to make the time logic simpler.
 library(lubridate)

 starts <- ymd(df$ event_start_date)
 ends <- ymd(df$ event_end_date)
 days <- ymd(reference$date)

 df$numEvents <- mapply(function(s, e) {
    sum(reference$record[days %within% interval(s,e)])
 }, starts, ends)

A: I had to recreate data for this... please in the future use ?dput to help give a reproducible example.
Defs:
evt_df - A data frame with two columns, the first contains a date, the second holds a numeric value of either 0 or 1, representing an event took place on a given date if value is 1
int_df - A data frame which initially will hold 2 columns, start_date and end_date respectively, representing a span of time
Here's the raw data:
Edit.. added the functions to recreate the data in case someone wants to pick apart more
# evt_df
data.frame(
  dates = seq(Sys.Date() - 1200, Sys.Date(), by = "day"),
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
) %>% {
  .[['event']] <-  sample(0:1, nrow(.), TRUE)
  assign("evt_df", ., envir = .GlobalEnv)
}

## int_df
data.frame(
  start_date = evt_df[sample(1:nrow(evt_df), 100), 'dates'],
  end_date = evt_df[sample(1:nrow(evt_df), 100),'dates'],
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
) %>% {
  adply(., 1, function(i){
    if(i[[1]] > i[[2]]){
      c(i[[2]], i[[1]])
    }else if(i[[1]] == i[[2]]){
      c(i[[1]] - 5, i[[2]])
    }else {
      c(i[[1]], i[[2]])
    }
  }, .id = NULL, .expand = FALSE) %>%

The evaluation
To evaluate essentially what I understood from your question was we want to use one static table as a reference, or key table, to then find all the iterations that fall between our two dates, contained in each row of our second table, which we will then total the event values, and create a new, third column in our second table, so that each row will represent:
start_date - our beginning date
end_date - our ending date closing the time-window
total_events - The sum of all events which took place on, or between, our start and end dates
Note: I'm going to use the plyr package... which will generate flack but it's my preferred approach to this solution.
The idea is this...

*

*we're going to go row-by-row through our second table, which has a start and end date column.

*For each iteration, we're going to find the start_date value
(int_df[i,"start_date"]) and the end_date values (int_df[i,
"end_date"]) in our lookup table by their POSITION. Meaning, for row
12 of our int_df, which row in our evt_df contains that date, and
the same for the end date.

*With that numerical value, which represents the row position, we will create a sequence of numbers that are the range between the matched start and end dates.Think in
terms of "Start date is row 12, end date is row 15, so get all rows
from 12 through 15"

*Extract the applicable rows, and get the column which contains the event values and simply sum them, so that for each range we have a total number of events

Please see ?plyr::adply for better understanding of what you'll see below. Short order is: For each slice of an array, apply function then combine results into a data frame.
The reason this gives us exactly what we want is that we are treating each row of our key table as an array which we will then
library(plyr)
library(dplyr)
> new_df <- adply(int_df, 1, function(i){
        s <- which(evt_df$date == i[['start_date']])
        e <- which(evt_df$date == i[['end_date']])
        sum(evt_df[seq(s, e), 2])
  }, .id = NULL, .expand = T) %>% select(1, 2, total_events = 3)

> head(new_df)
  start_date   end_date total_events

Hopefully that helps you and gives an understanding of the process approach
