Shortly afterwards I was able to purchase a few examples from a series of covers which had been mailed from Swiss registered vessels over a period of almost twenty years, from 1968 until 1986, each being forwarded by air from the port of call at the time. Countries visited ranged across the globe from Norway, Algeria, Aden, Japan, USSR, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South America. Wanting to know more about Swiss shipping, I wrote to the office in Basel and also to the Swiss shipping line, Suisse Atlantique in Lausanne, which operated the vessels. Their replies have given an interesting insight into the development of the Swiss merchant fleet. The 40c value stamp from the 1949 Defmitive series depicts the harbour on the Rhine at : , Basel. In fact Basel is the legal port of registration for all Swiss seagoing vessels. In the 19th century some Swiss trading companies owned and operated their own ships, ; , -•",-"*- ';'-. i": 17- - which were registered in foreign ports, and several ships briefly sailed under the Swiss flag as early : ' - -----.' ----"--:::: 74" as 1860. However attempts to introduce shipping under the Swiss flag failed because there was no --- international maritime law governing the operation of a merchant fleet by a land locked country, : A 0 1-4. E- biEr A with no navy; in addition the Swiss government had little interest in the matter. It was during the First World War that Switzerland became aware of the lack of it's own merchant ships. Surrounded by nations at war, and completely dependent on imports, the effect of the Allied blockade and the German U-boat campaign became serious. Switzerland was able to charter a few, mostly American ships, but at a high price, and capacities became increasingly scarce due to U-boat destruction. When America entered the war, the situation became critical, and the shipping capacity available was only one tenth of what was theoretically desirable for adequately supplying the country. The declaration of the Transport Conference of the League of Nations in Barcelona in 1921 was of fundamental importance to Switzerland. This declaration gave recognition to the flags of seagoing vessels registered to land-locked countries, as long as these ships were registered at a specific location considered to be a port of registration. However it wasn't until 1940, during the Second World War, that the Swiss Shipping Company in Basel, and André & Co. in Lausanne, (now Suisse Atlantique SA.) who both owned and operated vessels (three) under the Panama flag, asked the Swiss Government to have the vessels registered under the Swiss flag. The request was refused, but the supply situation in o- M Switzerland became critical towards the end of 1940 when Italy invaded Greece, whose ships had formerly been chartered to supply Switzerland through Italian ports.

Unfortunately for some our respective clubs, Swansea and Helvetia, seem to clash on these dates. But the point I would like to make is that most Societies require entries of 16 pages. BPS only 12 pages. So that means reducing by four pages an entry which was written up for Swansea. This is not easily done. Could not Helvetia align with other Societies as the flow of a 16-page entry is broken somewhat by a reduction of four?

INOW, "wmg.o.1. 11,41,41111rAW110111011110150Ere - After the war the Swiss government sold its merchant ships to private owners, and in the interest of maintaining a modem merchant fleet for supplying the country, it began to facilitate financing for ship owners by guaranteeing loans from Swiss banks for the purchase of ships. Today (as at 15.09.99) there are six companies operating a total of twenty vessels under the Swiss flag. These vessels, twelve bulk carriers, five multi purpose freighters, and three chemical tankers, are of modem construction, the majority having been built within the last ten years, which seems to indicate Switzerland's intention to maintain it's independent Merchant Marine fleet. — -- ..., _... — .

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS REGION IX CALIFORNIA 50 UNITED NATIONS PLAZA MAIL BOX 1200; ROOM 1545 SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94102 December 4, 2017 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Geeta Brown President InterCoast Colleges 388 West Cerritos Avenue, Bld. 7 Anaheim, California 92868 (In reply, please refer to case no. 09-17-2430.) Dear President Brown: The U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights (OCR), has resolved the above- referenced complaint against InterCoast Colleges (the College). The Student alleged that the College discriminated against her on the basis of sex.1 Specifically, OCR investigated: 1. Whether the College responded promptly and equitably to the Student’s complaints of sexual harassment; and, 2. Whether the Student was harassed on the basis of her sex when her teacher asked her who she was attracted to, and forced the Student out of her class when the Student did not show up to a potluck. OCR is responsible for enforcing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX), as amended, 20 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., and its implementing regulation at 34 C.F.R. Part 106, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in programs and activities receiving financial assistance from the U.S. Department of Education (the Department). The College is a recipient of financial assistance from the Department. Therefore, OCR had jurisdiction to investigate this matter under Title IX. To investigate this complaint, OCR conducted interviews and reviewed documents and other information provided by the Student and the College. The applicable legal standards, the facts gathered during the investigation, and the reasons for OCR’s determinations and the terms of the Resolution Agreement (Agreement) entered into by the College are summarized below.

  • Switzerland 4Th Periodical Report
    Strasbourg, 15 December 2009 MIN-LANG/PR (2010) 1 EUROPEAN CHARTER FOR REGIONAL OR MINORITY LANGUAGES Fourth Periodical Report presented to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in accordance with Article 15 of the Charter SWITZERLAND Periodical report relating to the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages Fourth report by Switzerland 4 December 2009 SUMMARY OF THE REPORT Switzerland ratified the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (Charter) in 1997. The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).

  • Shipping Made in Hamburg
    Shipping made in Hamburg The history of the Hapag-Lloyd AG THE HISTORY OF THE HAPAG-LLOYD AG Historical Context By the middle of the 19th Century the industrial revolution has caused the disap- pearance of many crafts in Europe, fewer and fewer workers are now required. In a first process of globalization transport links are developing at great speed. For the first time, railways are enabling even ordinary citizens to move their place of residen- ce, while the first steamships are being tested in overseas trades. A great wave of emigration to the United States is just starting. “Speak up! Why are you moving away?” asks the poet Ferdinand Freiligrath in the ballad “The emigrants” that became something of a hymn for a German national mo- vement. The answer is simple: Because they can no longer stand life at home. Until 1918, stress and political repression cause millions of Europeans, among them many Germans, especially, to make off for the New World to look for new opportunities, a new life. Germany is splintered into backward princedoms under absolute rule. Mass poverty prevails and the lower orders are emigrating in swarms. That suits the rulers only too well, since a ticket to America produces a solution to all social problems. Any troublemaker can be sent across the big pond. The residents of entire almshouses are collectively despatched on voyage. New York is soon complaining about hordes of German beggars. The dangers of emigration are just as unlimited as the hoped-for opportunities in the USA. Most of the emigrants are literally without any experience, have never left their place of birth, and before the paradise they dream of, comes a hell.

The Roman Empire: Economy, Society and Culture (Duckworth, 1987) This is a standard study of the workings of the Roman empire, divided into four sections on administration, the economy, society and religion. It is useful, but the thinking now seems slightly outdated – the authors place more emphasis on the Roman state as a dominant and even coercive power in effecting cultural change in the provinces than most scholars do today.

  • To the AIRPOST JOURNAL VOLUMES 61
    Index to The Airpost Journal Vol 61-79 1990-2008 Index to THE AIRPOST JOURNAL VOLUMES 61 - 79 Page Section 1 Introduction 2 Airpost Journal Index 59 Author Index INTRODUCTION I have been a member of the American Air Mail Society for many years and during that time I have not done anything useful, except the payment of annual dues. One of the rules I have always adopted is if you are a member of a Society you should do something to further the cause of that body. My opportunity came when I read the President's Message in the December 2008 Air Mail Journal that he wanted somebody to up date the Index of the Air Post Journal so I volunteered little knowing of the task that I was undertaking. I am not a professional indexer but have had a little experience in indexing magazines in the UK. The task was to index the magazines from 1990 to 2008 (228 magazines) roughly in line with the index published in 1992. As previously stated the index continues from the previous edition except that I have included items from Letters to the Editor. I feel that there is much information contained in these letters which is of value to aerophilatelists. To quote the previous index "The APJ Index is meant to be a document helpful, but not comprehensive" and I have tried to continue in this vein. That said I hope that the Index will prove to be of some use. Needless to say any errors, omissions etc are entirely down to me.
