Le congrès de Paris a donc marqué le départ d’un nouvel épisode de l’histoire de l’USPE et nos collègues français méritent d’ailleurs un grand coup de chapeau pour cette magnifique organisation. Une semaine plus tard, j’ai déjà eu l’occasion de sortir mon plus bel uniforme afin d’inaugurer les Championnats d’Europe de lutte à Moscou. Un moment inou- bliable… Ces derniers mois, la Russie, la Suède et la Bulgarie ont successivement accueilli les Championnats d’Europe de lutte, de ski et de volley-ball (hommes). Grâce aux efforts des organisateurs, nos athlètes ont pu bénéficier d’excellentes conditions de travail et ils nous ont récompensés en affi- chant des performances du plus haut niveau et une attitude positive. La qualité de l’organisation se traduit en effet tou- jours par la qualité sur le plan sportif ! Outre ces événements sportifs, citons éga- lement le lancement de notre nouveau site Web, qui a subi une véritable transfor- mation. Il est désormais rafraîchi, dyna- mique et invite à la lecture et à la découverte. Il est plus convivial et plus actuel. Il s’agit là d’une réalisation impor- tante contribuant à la communication interne et externe. Le site Web est en effet notre carte de visite et les nombreuses réactions enthousiastes m’ont convaincu que nous devions continuer à investir dans des moyens de communication modernes.

MAK Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: August 9, 1989 Copyright 2010 ADST Q: Dayton, when and where were you born? MAK: I was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, July 10, 1917. Q: Let's talk about the family, let's go on the Mak side. What do you know about them? MAK: The Mak original name was three-barrel Mak van Waay, which in Dutch would be Mak fon vei [pronounces in Dutch]. They were from Dordrecht, the Netherlands. The family had an antique showroom there, an auction house a bit like Sotheby's. Q: ...in... MAK: In Dordrecht. That was the Mak van Waay family. They then moved to Amsterdam. At the same time, anther part of the family, a son, I believe, wanted to establish a Mak van Waay firm in Dordrecht itself. According to Dutch law, they couldn't do that. There could only be one firm Mak van Waay, so they opened the Firma Mak in Dordrecht. The Firma Mak still exists, and the big building remains on the tour of the old city of Dordrecht. The Mak van Waay part, of which I'm a member, stayed in Amsterdam until about 15 years ago, when the last Mak van Waay died. He had no children. So, the Mak van Waay in Interview with Dayton S.

  • Criminal Background Check Procedures
    Shaping the future of international education New Edition Criminal Background Check Procedures CIS in collaboration with other agencies has formed an International Task Force on Child Protection chaired by CIS Executive Director, Jane Larsson, in order to apply our collective resources, expertise, and partnerships to help international school communities address child protection challenges. Member Organisations of the Task Force: • Council of International Schools • Council of British International Schools • Academy of International School Heads • U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Schools • Association for the Advancement of International Education • International Schools Services • ECIS CIS is the leader in requiring police background check documentation for Educator and Leadership Candidates as part of the overall effort to ensure effective screening. Please obtain a current police background check from your current country of employment/residence as well as appropriate documentation from any previous country/countries in which you have worked. It is ultimately a school’s responsibility to ensure that they have appropriate police background documentation for their Educators and CIS is committed to supporting them in this endeavour. It is important to demonstrate a willingness and effort to meet the requirement and obtain all of the paperwork that is realistically possible. This document is the result of extensive research into governmental, law enforcement and embassy websites. We have tried to ensure where possible that the information has been obtained from official channels and to provide links to these sources.

  • Trafficking in Persons Report
    TTRAFFICKINGRAFFICKING ININ PPERSONSERSONS RREPORTEPORT JJUNEUNE 20042004 I NTRODUCTION Dear Reader: The fourth annual Trafficking in Persons Report reflects the growing concern of the President, Members of Congress, and the public over the serious human rights, health, and security impli- cations of human trafficking around the world. One way this concern has been expressed is through the enactment of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2003 (TVPRA), which amends the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000. Among other things, the TVPRA strengthens the tools U.S. law enforcement authorities use to prosecute traffickers and enhances assistance to victims of trafficking. It also requires the Department of State to scrutinize more closely the efforts of governments to prosecute traf- fickers as well as evaluate whether our international partners have achieved appreciable progress over the past year in eliminating trafficking in persons. This report represents the collective work of our embassies, as well as foreign govern- ments and NGO partners throughout the world who are committed to ending the scourge of slavery. We intend to use it as a guide in our efforts in the coming year to combat the traf- ficking of persons around the globe through improved laws, regulation, monitoring, enforce- ment, and the protection of victims. This year’s report focuses more attention on sex tourism and the demand it creates for children exploited by traffickers in commercial sex settings. The United States plays a lead- ing role in fighting sex tourism by identifying and prosecuting our own nationals who travel abroad to engage in commercial sex with children.
