It was then staged for each edition of the Games with the exception of those in St Louis in 1904. Women competed in the mixed sailing events as of 1900. Since the Games of the XXIV Olympiad in Seoul in 1988, some events have been reserved only for them. KEY STAGES Entry 1894: At the Paris Congress held in June, the desire was expressed for nautical sports (rowing, sailing and swimming) to be on the Olympic programme. Windsurfing 1980: At the 83rd IOC Session held in July and August in Moscow, it was decided to add a mixed windsurfing event (windglider) to the programme of the Games of the XXIII Olympiad in Los Angeles in 1984. Women’s 1984: At the IOC Executive Board meeting held in July and August in Los inclusion Angeles, it was decided to add the 470 dinghy event for women to the programme of the Games in Seoul in 1988.

  • ASIAN REPRESENTATIONS of AUSTRALIA Alison Elizabeth Broinowski 12 December 2001 a Thesis Submitted for the Degree Of
    ABOUT FACE: ASIAN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUSTRALIA Alison Elizabeth Broinowski 12 December 2001 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University ii Statement This thesis is my own work. Preliminary research was undertaken collaboratively with a team of Asian Australians under my co-direction with Dr Russell Trood and Deborah McNamara. They were asked in 1995-96 to collect relevant material, in English and vernacular languages, from the public sphere in their countries of origin. Three monographs based on this work were published in 1998 by the Centre for the Study of Australia Asia Relations at Griffith University and these, together with one unpublished paper, are extensively cited in Part 2. The researchers were Kwak Ki-Sung, Anne T. Nguyen, Ouyang Yu, and Heidi Powson and Lou Miles. Further research was conducted from 2000 at the National Library with a team of Chinese and Japanese linguists from the Australian National University, under an ARC project, ‘Asian Accounts of Australia’, of which Shun Ikeda and I are Chief Investigators. Its preliminary findings are cited in Part 2. Alison Broinowski iii Abstract This thesis considers the ways in which Australia has been publicly represented in ten Asian societies in the twentieth century. It shows how these representations are at odds with Australian opinion leaders’ assertions about being a multicultural society, with their claims about engagement with Asia, and with their understanding of what is ‘typically’ Australian. It reviews the emergence and development of Asian regionalism in the twentieth century, and considers how Occidentalist strategies have come to be used to exclude and marginalise Australia.

  • 12 Years, 3 Boats, 3 Children
    OUR READERS AROUND THE WORLD AND A FEW TENS OF 12 YEARS, THOUSANDS 3 BOATS,1 OF MILES 3 CHILDREN Having left as a couple in 2003 for a trip in a monohull, Matthieu and Soizic have had 3 boats, 3 children, and are currently still sailing around the world. The story of a happy and adventurous life! Text and photos: Matthieu Fleury ow beautiful we were, on a warm 1st September 2003 (17°C – a heat wave in H Quimper), on the deck of our pretty ketch. The boat – 38 feet of solid maho- gany, 38 years old, and us – a young cou- ple, under 30, finding it hard to believe that we had succeeded in making our dream come true, so early in our lives, which had hardly begun. From this to believing that 12 years later, we would still be on the deck of a boat, a few thousand miles further on, see- med to us to be not even conceivable. And yet here we are. It took the start of 2 fairly successful careers, to make us realize several things: that life flies by very quickly, and if we merely followed the straight and narrow, it would soon be over, and that it’s best to empty your bank account before Alzheimer’s makes you forget your PIN number. After just 5 years of professional life, we dispensed with the services of our employers, emptied our accounts and bought Hildi, a little gem from 1965, all varnished wood and teak decks, which was dozing in the Medi- terranean, awaiting the arrival of two intrepid Bretons to set off on an adven- ture.

  • What Do International Schools' Mission Statements Reveal About Their
    Mission Statement Possible 1 Mission Statement Possible: What do international schools’ mission statements reveal about their cosmopolitan education tendencies? M.A. Thesis International Educational Development Matthew J. Hayden Teachers College Columbia University May 1, 2008 Mission Statement Possible 2 Abstract This research was undertaken to determine to what extent international schools’ saw themselves as cosmopolitan educators, deliberate or not. The mission statements of sixty-seven self-identified international schools were analyzed to measure the extent to which these schools articulated purposes that were consistent with dominant typologies and characteristics of cosmopolitanism, and were then compared with traditional themes of education found in these statements as well. The data shows that while international schools show a dominant predilection toward cognitive and academic development, they also contain a significant number of cosmopolitan characteristics and an orientation toward the development of attitudes and emotional development that aid in intercultural understanding and cosmopolitan ways of being. These cosmopolitan characteristics appear to be embedded in both traditional educational practices as well as in the general educational ethos of international schools.
