VFS Global Launches Exclusive Netherlands Passport and ID Application Centre in the United States of America MEDIA INFORMATION Chicago, 26 March, 2019 VFS Global launches exclusive Netherlands Passport and ID Application Centre in the United States of America The Centre in Chicago will manage the processing of Dutch passport and ID card applications The Netherlands is the first Schengen government for which VFS Global offers passport and ID card services Similar centres to be launched in other major cities in Canada and Australia later this year VFS Global has launched The Netherlands Passport and ID Application Centre in Chicago, Illinois, as an extension to its visa processing services, on behalf of the Government of The Netherlands. The centre will accept first applications for a Dutch passport or ID card, as well as applications for renewals. The key services delivered at the centre are: Passport Application processing for Adults (New & Renewal) Passport Application processing for Minors (New & Renewal) Business Passport Application processing (New & Renewal) ID Card Application processing (New & Renewal) ID Card Application processing for minors (New & Renewal) Dutch citizens resident in Chicago, Illinois, and other neighboring states in the Mid-West will benefit from this new centre, as it will streamline passport and ID card services for applicants and significantly reduce the waiting time for appointment bookings and application processing. The centre, located at 142 East Ontario, Suite# 1700, Chicago, Illinois, 60611, USA, was inaugurated on 26 March 2019 by Mr. Louis Piët, Consul-General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Chicago. Commenting at the ceremony, Mr. Louis Piët, Consul-General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Chicago, said, “Three-and-half years have passed since Dutch citizens have been able to renew and apply for a passport in Chicago. People had to travel to Washington DC or New York. This was very burdensome for some folks. But as they say here in the US, the squeaky wheels get the grease, which in this case is the partnership we made with VFS Global to process passport applications.” Also present at the ceremony were key Dutch Ministry representatives of the Consular Affairs Department, including Ms. Jeannette Verkerk, Implementation Manager External Service Providers and Ms. Anja Kienecker, Dutch Travel Document Specialist. The opening of the new centre in Chicago marks the launch of the first-ever Netherlands Passport and ID Page 1/2 Application Centre in the Americas region. Later this year, similar centres will also be launched in other major cities in Canada and Australia. The contract to open these centres was awarded to VFS Global in 2018. Swiftly after winning the contract, a Netherlands Passport and ID Application Centre was launched in London in November 2018, followed by the centre in Chicago. As an added convenience to residents in the area travelling to the Netherlands, VFS Global also provides proficiently managed visa application submission services on behalf of the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands from the same centre in Chicago. While The Netherlands is the first Schengen government for which VFS Global provides passport and ID card services, the company also offers passport services for the UK, India, and Ghana. Key benefits for applicants at the passport centre in Chicago: Flexible ‘prime time’ services for submissions outside of regular office hours (0700 hrs to 0830hrs on Monday to Friday, and 0830 hrs to 1230 hrs on Saturdays) Quick appointment availability and faster turnaround times for receipt of processed documentation Application tracking facility from the time the application is submitted Dedicated email for applicant queries Chris Dix, Head of Business Development for VFS Global, said, “The passport and ID card services at the new centre in Chicago will significantly improve customer service, and we are delighted to extend our partnership with the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the Americas region to include consular services. This extension to Chicago signifies our commitment towards raising the bar for streamlined government services and to developing a stronger network of Passport and ID Application Centres on behalf of the Government of The Netherlands.” VFS Global has been providing visa services for the Government of the Netherlands since 2006 and currently operates 80 Visa Application Centres across 37 countries for this client government.

  • Encounters with 'China' in Popular Japanese Television Dramas
    1 (De)Constructing Identities? Encounters with ‘China’ in Popular Japanese Television Dramas Prof. Hilaria Gössmann PhD, Griseldis Kirsch MA, University of Trier, Germany 1. Introduction The history of Japanese television drama is nearly as old as the history of Japanese television itself. Since the first production was aired the same year television emerged there (in 1953), television dramas have been highly successful.1 Although the influence of American family dramas and movies was enormous, Japanese TV stations – both private and public – soon began producing their own dramas, which over time became more popular than American productions (Hirahara 1991a: 19-20). Japanese television dramas are roughly divided into television films (tanpatsu dorama) and television series (renzoku dorama).2 Particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, both films and series tended to address socially controversial topics such as Japan’s own war history or social problems. Thus, Japanese television dramas are not only ‘pure entertainment’, rather films are praised for their ‘closeness’ to society and are often produced as entries for ‘Art Festivals’ (geijutsusai)3 (Hirahara 1994: 46). A survey conducted in the 1980s, however, found that women do not only watch television dramas for entertainment; on the contrary, they use drama as a means to obtain ideas for their own way of living (Masumedia bunka to josei ni kansuru chôsa kenkyûkai (ed.) 1986: 109).4 Although both the number of television dramas broadcast as well as the ratings sank significantly in the 1980s, the producers and authors of television dramas still endeavored to 1 The first dramas were mainly live telecasts. 2 Television films are produced and broadcast by both NHK (the public Japanese television station) and commercial stations.

Changes to business models and consumer behavior, prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, have compressed many years’ worth of transformation and digitization into the space of several months. More people and more businesses around the world have access to real-time payments in more forms than ever before.

  • A Study of Japanese TV Commercials from Socio-Cultural Perspectives: Special Attributes of Nonverbal Features and Their Effects *
    Intercultural Communication Studies III:2 1993 Koji Akiyama A Study of Japanese TV Commercials from Socio-cultural Perspectives: Special Attributes of Nonverbal Features and Their Effects * Koji Akiyama Yamanashi University I. Introduction On February 1, 1993, the Japanese public TV station NHK celebrated its 40th anniversary and on August 28 of the same year the commercial TV station NTV in Tokyo also celebrated the same anniversary. To commemorate this occasion, both stations have been airing retrospective specials since this January. The first Japanese TV commercial was for Seiko, the watch company. The commercial was broadcast as a timecast on NTV. 1 During these forty years, countless TV commercials have been on the air; most of them soon became out of date and forgotten and some of them have been remembered nostalgically as a mirror of times passed. For the first twenty years, Japanese TV commercials had given the audience the "dream" of a modernized style of living and much new information necessary for achieving it. Consumer goods such as electric appliances, cars, medicines, and western foods – things that help people modernize and simplify daily life – were mainly and most favorably broadcast by the companies (clients) over and over again until the name of the products could be the topic of a small talk over tea. Those commercials were widely broadcast and largely accepted through the new method of advertising, although in many cases the commercials were considered an intermission in the regular programs – a time for going to the bathroom. 87 Intercultural Communication Studies III:2 1993 Koji Akiyama For Japanese TV commercials, the decade of the 1970's was the decade of substance and maturity.

  • The #Nbcfail Olympics: Access, Liveness and the Public Interest
    JPTV 1 (1) pp. 121–128 Intellect Limited 2013 Journal of Popular Television Volume 1 Number 1 © 2013 Intellect Ltd Olympic Dossier. English language. doi: 10.1386/jptv.1.1.121_1 Myles McNutt University of Wisconsin-Madison the #NBCFail Olympics: Access, liveness and the public interest ABstrACt KeywOrds This article explores the deeper meanings within social media criticism of NBC’s Olympic Games coverage of the London 2012 Olympic Games, focusing on the divide between broadcasting those social media users and what NBC perceives as their audience for prime- liveness time, tape-delayed broadcasts. While viewer frustration has been dismissed as a public interest selfish desire for instant gratification in an era of conspicuous consumption, it also NBC demonstrates the complicated relationship between NBC’s broadcasting strategies Twitter and liveness, which creates concerns over access. Similarly, although viewer frus- tration has been positioned in opposition to the economic imperative of commercial broadcasting, it seems necessary to engage with the notion of the public interest in the light of NBC’s broadcast history and the nationalized appeal of the Olympic Games. In their rush to characterize #NBCFail as evidence of Twitter’s mob mentality, analysts fail to ask what this backlash might mean for the Olympics’ place within the larger spectrum of broadcast programming in the post-network era, and for NBC’s responsibility to viewers when it comes to this global event (and broadcasting in general). 121 JPTV_1.1_McNutt_121-128.indd 121 2/8/13 10:01:40 AM Myles McNutt When NBC’s coverage of the London 2012 Opening Ceremonies began, the latter had already ended.
