BINDENAGEL Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: February 3, 1998 Copyright 2002 ADST Q: Today is February 3, 1998. The interview is with J.D. Bindenagel. This is being done on behalf of The Association for Diplomatic Studies. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. J.D. and I are old friends. We are going to include your biographic sketch that you included at the beginning, which is really quite full and it will be very useful. I have a couple of questions to begin. While you were in high school, what was your interest in foreign affairs per se? I know you were talking politics with Mr. Frank Humphrey, Senator Hubert Humphrey's brother, at the Humphrey Drugstore in Huron, South Dakota, and all that, but how about foreign affairs? BINDENAGEL: I grew up in Huron, South Dakota and foreign affairs in South Dakota really focused on our home town politician Senator and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Frank, Hubert Humphrey's brother, was our connection to Washington, DC, and the center of American politics. We followed Hubert's every move as Senator and Vice President; he of course was very active in foreign policy, and the issues that concerned South Dakota's farmers were important to us. Most of farmers' interests were in their wheat sales, and when we discussed what was happening with wheat you always had to talk about the Russians, who were buying South Dakota wheat.

Even more than previous years, 2011 certainly confirmed the need for a broad view of the world in order to support political and economic decision-makers working under the pressure of events that are becoming more and more difficult to control. Such wide vision allows for analytical distance to be introduced into decision-making processes. As a unique think tank in France, and through the range of subjects it covers (international and otherwise), its long history of bringing experience and successful metho- dologies to light, and the networks it has built with partners throughout the world, Ifri seeks to promote this kind of perspective.

    BULLETIN #3 02 October 2015 2015 ParaVolley Europe Sitting Volleyball Championship Men 30 September – 08 October Warendorf, Germany Bulletin #3 Greetings Friedhelm Julius Beucher Präsident des Deutschen Behindertensportverbandes (DBS) President of National Paralympic Committee Germany Ladies and Gentlemen, dear sports friends! I cordially welcome you to the European Sitting Volleyball Championships in Warendorf. About 150 athletes from twelve nations will compete at the city of horse not only to achieve the titles of the European Champions but also to qualify for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. As a sport rich in tradition and as a part of the Paralympic Games from 1980, sitting volleyball sets high demands on strategy a high degree of interaction and physical exertion and promises top-class sport with spectacular competitions. The Federal Sports School of the German Armed Forces of Warendorf provides ideal competition conditions for the athletes and ensures an appealing atmosphere. The European Sitting Volleyball Championships is the second major event organized by the National Paralympic Committee Germany in this year. Our special thanks go to the Federal Ministry of defense and the federal minister Dr. Ursula von der Leyen, who has taken over the patronage of this European Championship 2015, and the Federal Sports School of the German Armed Forces of Warendorf, who supports us in the organization and implementation of these European Championships, as well as to the Ministry of Family, Children, Youth, Culture and Sports of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, who supports us financially,as well as to our partners and sponsors. An essential part for the successful organisation of such a major event are the numerous voluntary helpers who I would like to explicitly include in our words of thanks.

    MiniEURO 2014 Referees, schedule, pitch and goal sizes, rules and discipline for the tournament Important document regarding MiniEURO 2014 Please read this document in full as it contains essential information for MiniEURO this year. Please note that changes from last year in the rules and discipline have Been highlighted for your information. Referees Stuart Winton comments 1. 13 countries have applied to send referees to MiniEURO 2014. I have decided that a maximum of 13 referees will be required, which is an increase from the 9 we had in 2013. It has been extremely difficult deciding which referees will be required so I have decided on taking the 9 referees from last year from the UK, Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Montenegro and Italy, as well as referees e from, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Russia. This means that there will be no referees from Latvia, Spain and Croatia unless referees drop out Before the tournament. Why did I choose these countries? Stuart Winton comments 2. From the remaining countries (Turkey, Russia, Latvia, Kazakhstan, Croatia and Spain) I chose Russia because the Russian Federation has produced an excellent statistical document showing that they have a high knowledge of statistics. I chose Turkey because they are a large Association and have been an integral memBer of the EMF from its inception. I have selected a referee from Kazakhstan to provide a learning opportunity, as the sport is played differently in Kazakhstan to the rest of Europe. I have also offered to take a second referee from Italy as this will provide them with an excellent experience in advance of MiniEURO 2015 in Turin.
