Pages labeled “Amendments and Endorsements” are not acceptable Need to Renew Your Passport? Contact the National Passport Information Center (NPIC) at 1-877-487-2778, or visit their website at www.travel.state.gov for information on obtaining a new passport or renewing your existing passport. You may also contact our recommended visa service company, PVS International, at 1-800-556-9990 for help with your passport Recommended Blank Pages Please confirm that your passport has enough blank pages for this vacation. • Main trip only: You will need 4 blank passport pages for the main trip. • Pre-trip extension in Kyrgyzstan & Kazakhstan: You will need 2 more pages, for a total of 6. • Post-trip extension in Tajikistan: You will need 2 more pages, for a total of 6. • Both a pre- and a post-trip extension: You will need a total of 8 blank pages. Visas Required We’ll be sending you a detailed Visa Packet with instructions, application forms, and fees about 100 days prior to your departure. In the meantime, we’re providing the information below as a guideline on what to expect. This information is for U.S. citizens only. All visas and fees are subject to change. • Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan—Visas required. These visas are required for the main trip. You must get them before you depart the U.S. Turkmenistan in particular has some unique quirks, so we have outlined what you should expect after this list. • Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan—No visa needed. These countries are visited on the pre-trip extension only. U.S. citizens do not need visas for stays of less than 15 days in Kazakhstan or less than 60 days in Kyrgyzstan. 10/13/2017 SLK2017 3 • Tajikistan and Turkey—Visa required in advance. These countries are visited on the post-trip extension. You must get your visas before you depart the U.S. Turkey offers an e-visa option that we recommend, we’ll include details in your Visa Packet. Travelers booking their own flights should note that if you have a connection in Turkey, you might need a visa. It depends on if your airline can check your luggage all the way through to your final destination or if you’ll need to re-check it in Turkey. For example, if you are switching from one airline to another, then it is likely you’ll need a visa. We recommend that you confirm your visa requirements directly with your airline(s) at least two weeks before your departure. IMPORTANT: Expectations for Turkmenistan’s Visa Getting a visa for Turkmenistan isn’t difficult, but does involve a lot of paperwork and some unique quirks. Here’s what you should expect: • Check your passport now. If it needs to be renewed or replaced for any reason, that step must be completed by 120 days (4 months) before your departure. • You’ll need to complete two sets of forms. Turkmenistan has a two-step process. First, you need to register with their government for approval. Only after the approval is granted can your visa be processed. For this reason, we’ll be sending you a special set of forms just for the approval process at about 180 days before your departure. (Or immediately after you’ve made your reservation, whichever comes first.) • Follow all instructions to the letter. Forms must be filled out completely; photos must meet requirements; copies of supporting documents must be in color. • Aim to meet all deadlines—your group is depending on you. The process for Turkmenistan is longer than any other visa. Missing key deadlines only makes it longer. In addition, the Turkmen government usually processes all approvals in batches, meaning that any delay on your part could hold up the approval for the rest of your group. • Know that you might not get your passport back until two weeks before your departure. This is normal for Turkmenistan; they just work at a slower pace. Please do NOT give a false departure date to try to speed up the process—that could result in your visa being issued for the wrong dates. • Know that we might contact you for additional information if the Turkmen government asks for it. For example, they occasionally ask us to verify current or past employment in writing. We hope that we haven’t made the process sound too scary. Keep in mind that most travelers have no issues getting this visa. (If they can do it, you can too!) It just takes a long time and some patience. 4 SLK2017 10/13/2017 Traveling Without a U.S. Passport? If you are not a U.S. citizen, or if your passport is from any country other than the U.S., it is your responsibility to check with your local consulate, embassy, or a visa services company about visa requirements. We recommend the services of PVS International, a national visa service located in Washington D.C.; they can be reached at 1-800-556-9990 or www. pvsinternational.org. Trusted Traveler Programs Some travelers have found that Trusted Traveler programs can expedite long waits at customs when re entering the U.S. There are currently three programs available: Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI. These three programs also include TSA Pre-Check, which allows you to use a dedicated security line at participating airports, or you can apply solely for TSA Pre-Check. TIP: Keep in mind that not all airports and airlines participate in these programs. You may want to consider checking with your airport prior to applying to find out if these programs would benefit you. To apply for a Trusted Traveler program or TSA Pre-Check, typically you will be asked to pay an application fee (varies by program) and schedule a background check and/or an interview. If you are approved, you will be issued a Known Traveler Number (KTN). Your KTN is valid for a set number of years, based on the conditions of the program. Please see the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website for more details on each of these programs: www.cbp.gov/ travel/trusted-traveler-programs. You can also find more information about TSA Pre-Check at www.tsa.gov/precheck. If you are enrolled in TSA Pre-Check (or a Trusted Traveler program that includes it), you must provide your KTN to the airlines. Emergency Photocopies of Key Documents We recommend you carry color photocopies of key documents including the photo page of your passport plus any applicable visas, air itinerary, credit cards (front and back), and an alternative form of ID. Add emergency phone numbers like your credit card company and the number for your travel protection plan. Store copies separate from the originals. If you plan to email this information to yourself, please keep in mind that email is not always secure; consider using password protection or encryption. Also email is not always available worldwide. As an alternative, you could load these documents onto a flash drive instead, which can do double-duty as a place to backup photos during your trip. Overseas Taxes & Fees This tour may have taxes and fees that cannot be included in your airline ticket price because you are required to pay them in person onsite. All taxes are subject to change without notice and can be paid in cash (either U.S. or local currency). If applicable, you will receive a list of these fees with your Final Documents. 10/13/2017 SLK2017 5 Registration Fee & Photos for Turkmenistan The Turkmen government currently charges a $14 per person registration fee that cannot be included in your trip price because you are required to pay it onsite. The fee is collected by local officials when you arrive in Turkmenistan, is payable in cash (U.S. dollars), and will be valid for the duration of your trip. As part of this same process, you will need three passport- sized photos. Once the process is complete and the fee is paid, you should be given an entry and departure card as proof; hold on to these for the duration of your time in Turkmenistan and you will be asked to present the departure card when you leave.

  • Nothing to Lose but Their Veils Failure and ‘Success’ of the Hujum in Uzbekistan, 1927-1953
    Nothing to Lose but Their Veils Failure and ‘Success’ of the Hujum in Uzbekistan, 1927-1953 Word count: 25,896 Maarten Voets Student number: 01205641 Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Rozita Dimova, Prof. Dr. Bruno De Cordier A dissertation submitted to Ghent University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master in East European Languages and Cultures. Academic year: 2016 – 2017 August, 2017 2 Abstract The title of this work is a reference to Marx’ famous quote, ‘The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains.’ When the proletariat eventually took over control of the former Russian Empire after the October Revolution and the subsequent Russian civil war (1917 – 1923), they had to spread the revolution to the periphery; Central Asia. To gain support in Uzbekistan from the local (female) population the Communist Party commenced the Hujum campaign on the 8th of March 1927. This campaign targeted traditions that they considered derogatory to women, in particular the wearing of the local veil, or ‘paranja’. The campaign was a complete failure due to vehement Uzbek resistance. Yet, nowadays the paranja is little more than a museum piece. The veil disappeared from the street view from the 1950’s onwards. In my research I want to give an explanation for this delayed success. Yet, in a way the Hujum still carries on: both Central Asian and Western countries have a mixed stance on the modern variants of the paranja, as shown in the existence of burqa bans. I have analysed relevant events (such as Stalin’s purges, deportations, the battle against the Basmachi) from before, during, and after the initial Hujum and placed them inside a Gramscian framework to explain their effects on the civil and political society in Uzbekistan.

  • Talk It Over (Week 3) Extravagant in Generosity
    SELFLESS Talk It Over (Week 3) Extravagant in Generosity SMALL TALK 1. On a generosity scale ranked 1-10, with 1 being “Every dollar is earmarked and allocated for me and my own,” and 10 being, “I am extravagantly generous” what number are you and why did you pick that number on the scale? VIEWPOINT 2. READ Haggai 1:6. Have you ever been able to relate to this verse—or can you right now? How so? Haggai 1:6 (ESV) You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes. 3. READ 2 Corinthians 12:6-12. What is the good news in this instruction about giving? 2 Corinthians 9:6-12 (NLT) {6} Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. {7} You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” {8} And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. {9} As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” {10} For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat.

  • Boys in Zinc on Trial Follow Penguin PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS
    Svetlana Alexievich BOY S I N Z I N C Translated by Andrew Bromfield Contents Prologue From the Notebooks Day One ‘For many shall come in my name …’ Day Two ‘And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul …’ Day Three ‘Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards …’ Post Mortem Boys in Zinc on Trial Follow Penguin PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS BOYS IN ZINC Svetlana Alexievich was born in Ivano-Frankivsk in 1948 and has spent most of her life in the Soviet Union and present- day Belarus, with prolonged periods of exile in Western Europe. Starting out as a journalist, she developed her own non-fiction genre which brings together a chorus of voices to describe a specific historical moment. Her works include The Unwomanly Face of War (1985), Last Witnesses (1985), Boys in Zinc (1991), Chernobyl Prayer (1997) and Second-Hand Time (2013). She has won many international awards, including the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature for ‘her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time’. Andrew Bromfield earned his degree in Russian Studies at Sussex University and lived in Russia for several years. He has been a full-time translator of Russian literature for more than thirty years and is best known for translating modern authors, but his work also includes books on Russian art, Russian classics and non–fiction, with a range from Tolstoy to the Moscow Conceptualism Movement. On 20 January 1801 the Cossacks of the Don Hetman Vasily Orlov were ordered to march to India. A month was set for the stage as far as Orenburg, and three months to march from there ‘via Bukharia and Khiva to the Indus River’.

  • Guidelines for Securing a Church's Sunday Collection
    GUIDELINES FOR SECURING A CHURCH'S SUNDAY COLLECTION Reflections "He [Judas] said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. He carried the money bag and would help himself from it." John 12.6 "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Benjamin Franklin INTRODUCTION On the eve of the Third Millennium, many Christian churches have, out of sheer necessity, become increasingly sophisticated in matters of finance. One of the more visible manifestations of this trend is the increased use of computerized accounting and reporting systems. In stark contrast, however, most churches seem equally committed to the preservation of a Sunday collection system that hasn’t been substantially improved since John identified Judas as Christianity’s first embezzler. At first reading, those unfamiliar with the field of Security and security concepts might feel the systems and procedures described herein are overly complex. But the structure of that complexity is precisely what is required to elevate your Sunday collection from the status of a sitting duck, vulnerable from several directions, to that of a deceptively secure Fort Knox. These guidelines were written for those who would dare to undertake that somewhat daunting but fiscally critical task. If you specifically sought out these guidelines, we assume you or someone in your parish recognized the need for greater security over the Sunday collection. However, in the event you were more curious than concerned, or you received this document from another source and are not convinced that you need a higher level of security, the next section will provide the rationale for establishing a truly secure collection system.
