A Message from your SPL - 29 June 2020
29 June 2020
Dear Year 11 Students, Parents and Carers,
I hope this email finds you well and in good spirits. It has been just over 3 months since the lockdown was announced and there have been so many life-changing events taking place during this time that have affected you. Under normal circumstances exams would have been completed and last Thursday would have been your Year 11 Prom evening. This would have been followed by your Leavers Ceremony in the Greek Theatre on Friday. The afternoon weather would have been perfect for the occasion.
You have coped really well during this time and I am really proud of you, and with the levels of resilience displayed by so many of you during this time.
Over the last few weeks, the lockdown has been gradually easing and many of you have started seeing your extended family and friends, maintaining social distance. From Saturday July 4th some social venues will be opening, and more and more people will be out socialising. I would advise you to remain safe and alert during this next phase. When travelling, please walk or cycle to get to places and take necessary precautions if you do have to take public transport.
From this week until the end of term, you will be getting a phone call from your Form Tutor or a member of the Year 11 team. These calls will be made on your parent's or carer's number and we think it's a positive way to end the term and for us to see how you have been getting along.
In the meantime, please continue with your applications and courses.
Speakers for Schools is still offering a range of speakers for you to listen to. This week they have a number of interesting speakers including: an event led by Thames Water, celebrating women in engineering; Mark Maciver, the barber responsible for styling the hair of Stormzy and Anthony Joshua; authors Marlon James and Ekow Eshun. Do engage with these talks - they are very relevant for you and extremely interesting.
Continue to look after yourselves, your family, friends and one another.
With best wishes,
Mrs Jean-Baptiste
Student Progress Leader Year 11
A Message from your SPL - 23 June 2020
22 June 2020
Dear Year 11, Parents and Carers,
I hope this email finds you all safe and well. I have been in contact with many of you over the past few weeks and I know you are becoming even more focussed as you prepare for the next stage of your education, with many colleges now providing you with reading material in preparation for courses you'll be starting in the autumn term. Despite the setbacks of the last few months, there's no doubt you are approaching a very exciting stage in your lives.
I continue to be inspired by your energy and enthusiasm to learn new things. I previously asked you for news on what you were up to and you have not disappointed me! I have heard from numerous students who are completing additional courses to develop their skills including a student who is not only maintaining her French (following 5 years of study at our school – three of which were with me!) but is also now learning Russian and has taken up embroidery.
Other students who have been creative with their time include:
- Naira in 11F has used her time at home to develop her creative skills and has learned how to sew, making a beautiful cushion! What a talent – and what patience! Well done Naira!
- Maui in 11F has started learning to play the piano and has recently taken up lessons via Zoom. Her teacher is so impressed by her that she is now be preparing for her Grade 3 piano exam! Maui's interest in the piano comes from the music featured in the anime series she watches. Maui has been so greatly inspired by Korean and Japanese culture that she has also started learning Korean, hoping to travel there again in the future. Maui – you have impressed me immensely with your talents!
(I have to say that until I joined Walthamstow School for Girls in 2013, I had no idea how big K-pop was and its influence on our student population!)
- Nabia in 11S has been doing a really impressive work experience with Brighton and Sussex Medical School, a virtual medical placement which has been approved by the British Medical Council and is linked to the NHS. Through this work, Nabia has managed to help raise over £10,000 for the doctors' fund and has attended meetings with professionals on a number of subjects related to careers advice in the medical field. If you are interested in this programme, it is free and details can be found here. Well done Nabia! You are one step closer to achieving your dream!
- Finally, many of our students and staff have been affected by the Black Live Matters movement and the cry for change and for voices to be heard. I have seen and heard young people in our communities speaking out and seeking change. Our very own Shanai in 11H has produced a personal and powerful video message on this subject matter. It is now on our school website and you can watch it in the link here. A strong message – we are really proud of you Shanai!
In addition to my message above, I also have some important information for you:
- Year Books: The deadline has been extended to 12 noon on Friday 26 June. This is your very last chance to purchase the book via Squid only. Given the abrupt way your year has ended, the yearbook is a long-lasting souvenir of your time at Walthamstow School for Girls. The cost of the book is only £13.35.
The books will be delivered to school for you to collect at a date to be arranged by us.
- Hoodies: The deadline has also been extended to Friday 26 June. These are available from SpeedStitch . Hoodies are £16.20 for the standard 'Leavers 20' hoodie and it will cost an extra £3 to get it personalised. The hoodies will have the names of all the students in the year group and are exceptional quality and value for money!
The hoodies can be collected from SpeedStitch or can be delivered to your home address for an additional charge of £3.50.
- Music Industry Work Placement: There is a very exciting opportunity for a young person to complete a work experience placement work for an American record label. This is particularly suitable for young people who are interested in the business of music and will involve you attending regular meetings, shadowing staff and working with various departments and learning about the different roles. There has been a lack of diversity in the music industry, therefore this opportunity is being extended to students from the BAME community. If you are interested, please contact me via the email@example.com school e-mail.
- Visions of a World after Covid-19 : UCL openDemocracy is opening a competition, which is aimed at school and university students (aged 14 and up) to share their vision of the future. There are prizes of £200, £100 or £50 in book tokens plus the chance for personal mentoring from the panel of some of the world's foremost thinkers and some fantastic work experience with either UCL or openDemocracy.
Entrants can submit either a written article, short video or image that describes their vision for the world after the coronavirus crisis has passed. FIND OUT MORE
- Apprenticeships: Paragon Skills is a national apprenticeship training provider giving young people the chance to do an apprenticeship. They are holding a series of Virtual Open Days from 1 July until 19 August. To register, click on the following on: Paragon Skills:
- Cambridge University - Virtual Year 11 Event
On 13 July Cambridge University will be offering their first ever Year 11 virtual event. The event will offer lots of useful information about applying to university, choosing A-level subjects and degree courses as well as giving an insight into student life. If you would like to attend, please sign up here.
- Speakers for Schools continues to provide their inspirational talks. This week's schedule can be found here: VTALK Schedule . Speakers include the General Manager of TikTok, two senior STEM leaders, the Founder of 'Leaders in Sports' and many more inspirational people. Please consider taking the time to watch some of these if you can.
- Women of the World Festival is a free online event taking place this weekend. WOW is a global movement celebrating women and girls, taking a frank look at the obstacles we face and discussing solutions for change. Details of the WOW Festivals and events can be found here:
- The EAST Summer School will be taking place this year in an online format. EAST Summer School is a completely free programme for 12-17 year olds who live in the local area and want to have fun while learning a new creative skill in the summer holidays. Courses will be run by their East Bank partners including the BBC and UCL, as well as established local organisations such as The Yard Theatre, Studio Wayne McGregor and Staffordshire University London. Since being 'live' for less than two weeks, they have already had over a hundred potential applicants register their interest!
You can register here. Full programme and timings will be available soon.
Please remember to keep up to date with the news by reading the following:
- The school's Greensheet with the latest Lockdown Issues to keep up to date with things happening at school.
- The Day is also available for you to read and can be found in our Year 11 Teams chat forum under the 'The Day' tab at the top of the page.
- Our school's Diversity Calendar is also on our Year 11 Teams main page under the 'Diversity Calendar' tab.
Finally, students have been asking about two things: firstly, returning your books. Ms Kennedy is currently working on a date for this to happen and details will be sent to you soon. Secondly, there WILL be a Year 11 Ceremony. Again, we are not sure when, but it is being discussed by the Leadership Team and details will follow once we can be certain to guarantee it happening safely.
In the meantime, stay safe. Enjoy the sunshine and follow government guidelines please!
With my very best wishes to you all

A Message from your SPL - 5 June 2020
5 June 2020
Dear Year 11
I hope you are still keeping safe and well during these times. We have been very lucky with the weather recently and I hope this has helped ease the difficulties of being at home and not being able to socialise with others as much as you would like. Hopefully, now, with the gradual easing of the lockdown restrictions, I hope you are able to start meeting members of your extended family and your friends also.
In addition to my usual information-sharing, I want to make this an email that celebrates your successes! So many of you are working hard, applying for courses and making positive steps forward in your experiences.
- Firstly, I want to say a very big WELL DONE to the large number of students (close to 50) who have completed the Eton College course.
- Last half term I advertised a STEM course at Stanford University, and we had one student who successfully applied for a place and will be starting shortly. Big congratulations to Chikara in 11H for her success - it will be a fantastic experience for you!
- This July, we have two students who will be attending summer school courses at the London School of Economics. The application process was highly competitive, and students were told at the outset that there were very limited places available. Huge congratulations go to Aoife and Ying Hang in 11F for managing to get places as this highly sought-after course. Well done!
- Finally, two of our Year 11 students were successful in gaining places at the prestigious United World College. The application process for this took months and both girls went through a rigorous interview process. I am so proud of Florence in 11F and Izzy in 11W for getting into this college. They will be moving abroad in the autumn term: Florence will be studying in Armenia and Izzy will be relocating to Costa Rica. Izzy is in the process of finalising her funding for her studies through a GoFundMe page, and if you wish to support her, click here.
Please continue to share these successes with me. It is important that we celebrate your achievements collectively as a school – teachers love to hear about the great things you are doing, and it is also important for you to inspire one another with your successes!
Below is some important information for you:
- Year Books: These are now available for you to purchase via Squid only. The book looks fantastic and is the best one yet! The cost of the book is £13.35. The deadline for payment is Sunday 21 June.
- Hoodies are available from http://www.speedstitch.co.uk/ Hoodies are £16.20 for the standard 'Leavers 20' hoodie and it will cost an extra £3 to get it personalised. The deadline for payment is Sunday 14 June.
At this particular moment in time, it is really important that you keep up to date with what's going on in local, national and global news. There has been a lot in the news about the Black Lives Matters movement. With the death of George Floyd in America, a global movement seems to be happening and, with this, a need and urgency for equality and justice to truly happen.
I have previously done assemblies on the young man, Stephen Lawrence, who was very sadly murdered in a racially motivated attack in London in 1993. He was just 18 years old. It hit me hard at the time, and I can't tell you how devastated I am to hear that racially motivated deaths are still taking place in this day and age in countries which are considered to be developed. When will this injustice end?
While watching the news last night, I saw John Boyega's impassioned speech about the current injustices taking place in the world. Please read about it here: John Boyega's speech. Do continue to read the news and be aware of what is happening to people around the world.
At Walthamstow School for Girls you will have experienced one of the richest and most culturally diverse environments you are likely to be a part of. We hope this has helped you to develop your understanding and acceptance of different cultures, beliefs and ways of thinking. I hope you remember this, and you live your lives in a way that shows your openness towards others, and that you continue to embrace and view differences as something positive.
For more news and information,
- Don't forget to read the school's Greensheet to read the latest Lockdown Issues to keep up to date with things happening at school.
- The Day is also available for you to read and can be found in our Year 11 Teams chat forum under the 'The Day' tab at the top of the page.
- Our school's Diversity Calendar is also on our Year 11 Teams main page under the 'Diversity Calendar' tab.
- EtonX Course: The 'Making an Impact' course is still available for students to attend and runs until the end of July. Should you wish to still do this, please contact me directly. Details of the course can be found at: https://etonx.com/courses/making-an-impact/

- Speakers for Schools continues to provide their inspirational talks. Here is the VTALK Schedule.
On a final note, some students have been in contact about a 'leavers' ceremony'. Rest assured, when we can have one safely, we will do so. You deserve a good send-off! In the meantime, your Tutors and a number of staff at school are working on a small farewell for you. We'll keep you posted in the next few weeks. I am in school today and am reminded of you and miss you very much! Look after yourselves, stay strong and resilient and be positive! And please – when you are venturing out, please keep safe and exercise caution.
With my very best wishes to you all,
Ms Jean-Baptiste

Dear Year 11s, Parents and Carers
I hope you are still keeping safe and well. This continues to be a very challenging time for you – a time of uncertainty and great disappointment that you will not be sitting your exams: the exams you studied so hard for and you would, under normal circumstances, be sitting now. Over the last two weeks, teachers have been working hard to ensure you get your GCSE grades. We are unable to discuss this process with you, but you are an able year group and I'm sure you will get the grades you worked hard for. Your teachers speak so positively about your commitment, your hardworking ethos and your positive attitudes and are frequently asking me how you are.
I am missing you greatly Year 11. You are a strong, brilliant and resilient group of young women and I am really proud to be your Student Progress Leader. Please continue to let me know how you're getting on with your various courses, home projects and college applications. I find it heartening to hear from you and your families. I know many of you miss school, particularly the way it ended, and I hope we will be able to meet again soon.

- Manga Illustration Workshops: If you are interested in manga illustration, Japan House London is offering free workshops. Artists will deliver free workshops via zoom. These courses are not microphone or video enabled so you will watch and follow the illustrator's instructions and, should you wish to communicate, you can do so by writing in the Q&A section.

On a final note, I would like to pay my respects to students from our Muslim community and their families. During this time of fasting and reflection it must be very difficult for you not to experience Ramadan as you usually would: connecting with your communities, praying collectively at the mosque or breaking iftars communally must be very challenging. We are all having to cope and adapt with these new circumstances and my thoughts are with you all at this time.
With my very best wishes to you all,
Mrs Jean-Baptiste

Dear Year 11
I hope this email finds you keeping safe and well. I'm sure many of you are adjusting brilliantly to our 'new normal'. I am hearing stories of students participating in dance classes, learning new skills and new languages. Many students are also in the process of completing their college applications. It is important that you continue to do so. Keep it up!
I also acknowledge that this isn't easy for many of you at the moment. Students and parents have contacted me stating how difficult it is for you all. I am even getting messages from students saying how much they miss school. I will reiterate that these will be among the best days of your lives ...
I will continue to encourage you to use this time you have resourcefully. I wanted to update you on Year 11 matters and to provide you with things you can/should be getting involved in and some exciting, interesting opportunities for you to take up.
- Yearbook: Form Reps are currently completing the yearbook. Please help them by providing them with photos and information when they ask for it. It is a big job and they are doing it so well. Thanks also to Ms Cato for helping with this.

You will need to apply for this, and it is a detailed process, but it is an amazing opportunity if your area of interest is in Science.
- Eduvate offers a series of podcasts for students interested in STEM related subjects. There is a podcast from the Head of Programmes at Tech Nation, Parveen Dhanda and podcasts related to digital portfolios, and a fascinating podcast on surgical robots carrying out keyhole surgery in Cambridge. These are approximately 10-minutes long and accessible to all interested in careers in the field of technology.

Dear Year 11 Students, Parents and Carers,
I hope that you are all well and are looking after yourselves in this very strange time.
I understand that there is uncertainty for you around your grades and your next steps as well as in other aspects of your lives.
Please remember how highly regarded you all are by us. You are a wonderful Year Group who have worked hard to improve your resilience, independence and positive energy. You have made us proud already. And whilst you may not be able to take exams this year, remember the skills, knowledge and personal growth you have experienced over the last 5 years.
You have everything that you need to get through this unique time and to find within it and draw from it the positives. Remember that all Year 11s across the country are in the same position - I know that you can make this work for you and draw from it the best that you can.
I'm hoping that this email will help to give you some reassurance and some clarity.
Please remember that all students have their Start Profile login from school. This gives you information and activities on many aspects regarding careers - from employability skills to information on post-16 and university courses.
You can log in here: https://www.startprofile.com/
If you are a student: you have your school login. Add a personal email address so that you can continue to use this resource after you have left WSfG.
If you are a parent/carer: you can register for free and access the same information as students.
Start have been in touch with some specific advice for Year 11s on the current situation with Covid-19 which I recommend you read.
At this time, it is vital that we all look after our physical and mental health. Start also provide some advice on this matter. You can find a link to this within the link above.
Finally, if you have any Year 13 students within your close circles, there is some advice from them also:
Looking forward to hearing about your successes and next steps.
All the best

A Message from your SPL 21 April 2020
21 April 2020
Dear Year 11
I hope this email finds you all safe and well.
I felt it was important to contact you as you continue to be our Year 11 students at Walthamstow School for Girls and, with the current situation, it is even more important that you keep in touch with us as we care very much about you.
We are still in the midst of very uncertain and unprecedented times. COVID-19 will always be known as the episode in our lives where we experienced the most extensive period of lockdown ever seen in peace time in our country's history. This period will be recorded in the archives (possibly books but almost definitely in the e-books and tomes online). This does not just affect us in Walthamstow, but everybody globally. In my very last assembly back at the start of March, I talked to you about remembering this moment in time... That, in 50 years' time as 65 year olds (!!), you will be able to look back at this period and recount to your children and your grandchildren how you lived through COVID-19. When I spoke to you at that time, little did I know the real consequences of COVID-19, that despite 5 years of secondary education you are part of the unique cohort unable to sit your national GCSE examinations.
These are challenging times for us all, but I want you to take the opportunity to reflect on the last five years as a successful time in your lives. I hope you will look back at school life at Walthamstow School for Girls and see your time here as amongst some of the best years you have had: the friendships you've built, the education you have had, the life experiences you have lived, the skills we have helped you to build and the opportunities you have been given should all help you to build a positive picture to hold onto and to help you envision an optimistic future ahead. I know you have it in you to make the most of this time you have: to reflect on your experiences and to start putting in place plans to build your future. And what futures you have ahead of you! You will, no doubt, have aspirations to go to colleges, sixth forms and universities, completing your 'A' Levels/BTECs/apprenticeships or degrees and moving into the first steps of your career paths in order to live exciting and fulfilling lives. You have so much to look forward to!
Do not waste this time. Many of you have already applied to colleges and sixth forms and many continue to do so. We are here to support you through this process. There are also a number of opportunities available to students during this time: Eton college is currently offering online courses to students at no cost to you.

In addition, Ms Philippou will be sending you information about Start. You will have created a Start profile at the beginning of the year, and we feel it is an important time for you to use this effective tool to start putting in place plans for your future.
Most importantly, I will ask you to look after yourselves. Be kind to yourselves, to your siblings, your parents and carers and be there for one another. You alone know what you are going through as Year 11s, so you can be there to look out for and support each other.
Finally, an important reminder of our online forum. Our year group 'TEAM' has been set up for us all to be there for one another as a community. We are there to chat and to support one another as a year group. Visit 'TEAMS', download the app, read the posts, participate - even just to say 'Hello'. Some of you have done so already, but we do want to hear from you all. It has been heartening and uplifting to read so many of your posts and messages. Also, please check in regularly into your Tutor Group 'TEAM'. It is a good way for you to say hello to your form group and to keep in touch with your Form Tutors who all miss you a lot!
One very last thing ... as promised, once this is all over, we will have a final year group celebration. It will be a time for us to share our stories, laugh and reminisce on your time here. I know staff at the school will want to say a final goodbye to you and you will also want to see each other at WSFG as a way to close this school chapter.
Keep in touch Year 11s and stay safe.

Post-Easter Arrangements
4 April 2020
Dear Parents, Carers and Students
I hope this email finds you and your families safe and well.
There has been a lot of speculation regarding expectations of students and their work over the next few weeks, so this email is to address some of your queries and concerns.
Firstly, we are now entering the two-week Easter period break and please note that teachers will not be setting work for students during this time. All subjects have now covered the course requirements for Year 11 and so will not be delivering individual subject lessons.
There is still a lot of uncertainty around the exams situation and we are still awaiting guidance from Ofqual with regards to the details of the awarding of grades for students. It has become clear that schools will be required to submit predicted grades and then these school grades will be moderated (moved up or down) through a statistical analysis across the country, looking at the progress of students within each school in previous years. It has been made clear to schools though that we are forbidden from entering into discussions with parents or students about their school predicted grades and are not allowed to share details of any further predictions that teachers are required to make.
Of equal importance to us is the wellbeing of our Year 11 students. Many of our students are feeling overwhelmed and some are feeling quite isolated at the moment, with this unexpected and abrupt end to our academic year. I have reassured students that we will be having an end of year celebration, but in the meantime, we ask that students are in regular contact with us via the Form Teams or SPL Teams group chat. Our Year 11 students continue to be on our roll and therefore we care very much about their wellbeing. This will be a very challenging time for the majority of students. Parents - please encourage your daughter to download the 'Office 365 Teams' app, this is a simple process and it will facilitate contact between your child and our school.
After the Easter holidays, we will be advising students of online courses they can undertake in preparation for the next stage of their education and which may also help support applications to colleges where places may be over-subscribed.
If you have any concerns or if you have any questions regarding the above or any other matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
With warm regards
Mrs T Jean-Baptiste
Student Progress Leader Year 11 / Associate Assistant Headteacher
Summer 2020 Exams
3 April 2020
Dear Year 11 Students, Parents and Carers,
Following on from Ms Jean-Baptiste's e-mail, we would like to share with you the latest letters addressed to students and parent/ carers from Ofqual (please see below). This guidance sets out the main intention of collecting predicted grades from schools for Year 11 students and the possibility of sitting an exam in the autumn term if students opt for this once they have received their grades. The finer details of how schools make their predictions remain unconfirmed and we await further instructions as schools.
Please do not contact the school regarding the predicted grades as we will not be able to enter into any discussions with students or parents/ carers on this topic.
Will we continue to support Year 11 students next term through the Teams app where we will provide guidance regarding preparing for their next steps.
Kind regards
Ms Kennedy
Deputy Headteacher/ Interim Associate Headteacher

Tips for College Interviews
Tips to make your interview a success are:
- Have a conversation. The most successful applicants are those who are themselves
- Ask questions. Do express your interest in why you want to study the subject(s) you have applied for and the College
- Be yourself. Don't try to answer questions based on what you think your interviewer wants to hear
- Prepare. Find out about the course(s) you've applied for. Find out about the career paths or further study options. Find out about the College. Have a look through the website.
- Be ready. Always arrive at least 15 minutes early.
Lunch Money Loans
The number of students borrowing money for lunch increased dramatically last school year. Lunch money loans should be for emergency purposes only.
Walthamstow School for Girls offers a Top-Up facility via sQuid enabling both students and parents to check balances, top-up lunch money, pay for trips and other sundry items at their own convenience.
An automatic Top-Up can also be activated ensuring your daughter never runs out of money.
A reminder to parents/carers that if you wish to pay for your daughter's school meals by cheque, please make the cheque payable to 'Olive Dining Ltd'.
All students have also been given usernames and passwords to enable payments to be made online via our sQuid system. If you would like a reminder of your daughter's username and password please contact Student Services.
Ms Jolliffe
Student Services
College References
If you require a college reference you need to hand in your completed application form to Student Services in the morning, before registration. You will then be able to collect it after school that day.
Any applications/requests received after break may not be completed until the following day.
We have to adopt this procedure as hundreds of requests come in each year and they all need to be logged and completed.
If you collected your reference before the Christmas holidays it contains your Forecast Grade from your end of Year 10 exam results. After Christmas this was updated and your college reference will have a Forecast Grade based on your Year 11 Mock Examination.
For on-line applications, where a contact e-mail address is requested, you should use the following address:
If you have any questions please see Ms Jean-Baptiste or Ms Jolliffe.

The beach volleyball arena at Copacabana is one of Rio's most vibrant Olympic venues
Inside a basketball, swimming or track and field arena at the Olympic Games, it wouldn't be a surprise to lose one's sense of place – seen one 400m track, seen 'em all! – but inside Brazil's vibrant Beach Volleyball Arena on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, there is little doubt you are sitting on privileged Brazilian real estate against one of the most cinematic backdrops on Earth.
Against a postcard-perfect background of Atlantic rainforest on one of the world's most picturesque and famous urban beaches, the 21m-high, 12,000 seat temporary arena – called "part enormous Tinkertoy, part world's largest Ikea-product construction project" by the New York Times, has been the most vibrant and Carioca of all Olympic venues, with boisterous fandom being taken to a level not commonly seen in a natatorium, for example.
The arena, which sits in more or less the same spot of sand as Copacabana's annual New Year's Eve festivities and past mega concerts like the Rolling Stones in 2006 (attended by 1.5 million fans), there was a DJ spinning at the venue's opening session on 6 Aug. Volunteers during matches have been riling up the crowd, encouraging them to yell in unison "Ace!" on uncontested serves and "Paredão!" ("Big Wall") during blocks throughout play. Crowd-rousing tunes like "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes and Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" can be heard over the loudspeakers between sets and samba dancers have performed as well.
"It's easy to get to, offers a great view of the ocean, and is surrounded by key features of the carioca spirit - music, street vendors, beachfront restaurants and sand underneath your feet," says Brazilian-American native Sol Estin, who attended some of Brazil's beach volleyball qualifying matches. "I loved all of the chants and the music in the stadium. That combined with the direct sunlight over the stadium and the view of Copa beach made for an incredible environment."
Volleyball in general is very popular in Brazil, but beach volleyball, born in Southern California but adopted as a lifestyle on the sands of Rio de Janeiro, is Carioca to the core. The beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are lined with nets in various spots throughout the year and enthusiasm for the sport – especially when Brazil is playing – can rival the fever pitch of any sport played on Brazilian soil. And Brazil is brutally good at beach volleyball, having won 11 of the 30 total medals since the sport was added to the Summer Games in 1996.
"If you can, come to the arena," Fédération Internationale de Volleyball Beach Volleyball world champion Agatha Bednarczuk told the FIVB. "It's beautiful to watch the game. The crowd is filling the arena. It's a great atmosphere to play here."

- Where Do Human Rights Fit In? Policy Narratives Re-examined
Nikolas K. Gvosdev
Senior Fellow Nikolas Gvosdev discusses Nahal Toosi's recent "Politico" article about a subtle but major shift in the international landscape: human rights groups focusing on the United States' human rights record. Will this become a focus of the Biden campaign as it begins to solidify its messaging?
- "Remain in Mexico" & Immigration Policy in 2020, with Molly O'Toole
Molly O'Toole, Alex Woodson,
Molly O'Toole, immigration and security reporter at the "Los Angeles Times," discusses Trump's "Remain in Mexico" asylum policy and its many ethical and legal issues. What's the status of challenges against this policy? How has it been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic? Plus, she draws some connections between the George Floyd protests against policy brutality and the issues that migrants face at the border.
- The Ethics of the Coronavirus Lockdown, with Christian Barry
Christian Barry, Joel H. Rosenthal,
Due to COVID-19, significant restrictions have been placed on freedoms to move about in many nations. Philosopher Christian Barry explores how the costs of these lockdowns can be weighed in a morally plausible way against the costs arising from increased spread of the virus. Many issues come back to a central question: Under what circumstances can some people be expected, even compelled, to bear costs for the sake of others?
- The Breonna Taylor/George Floyd Narrative? Impacts on U.S. Foreign Policy and International Standing
Nikolas K. Gvosdev
In this blog post, U.S. Global Engagement Senior Fellow Nikolas Gvosdev asks: With the COVID-19 pandemic already calling America's leadership role into question, how will the recent killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd by law enforcement impact foreign policy?
- Climate Change, Migration, & Humanity's Niche, with Tim Kohler & Marten Scheffer
Tim Kohler, Marten Scheffer, Alex Woodson,
A new report finds that over the next 50 years, 1 to 3 billion people could be living outside the climate niche that has "served humanity well over the past 6,000 years." Tim Kohler and Marten Scheffer, co-authors of "Future of the climate niche," discuss what was surprised them in this research, what it means historically when huge populations move, and why there's reason to be hopeful about humanity's future.
- The Pandemic Extends the Trend away from Globalism
Amitai Etzioni
One would expect that when the people of the world face a major, devastating, external threat, they would unite to fight it. However, the response to the global spread of COVID-19 has had the opposite effect, writes Amitai Etzioni. To understand the reasons for this, one needs to ask: What was the global order like just before the pandemic broke, and in what direction was it trending?
- Vox Populi: After the Event
Nikolas K. Gvosdev
Senior Fellow Nikolas Gvosdev follows up on his recent "Vox Populi" webinar. The virtual event with Eurasia Group Foundation's Mark Hannah and The Chicago Council on Global Affairs' Dina Smeltz explored polling data on what Americans think about foreign policy. How will recent events like the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic collapse, and protests change any of these conclusions?
- Mysterious Machines: The Road Ahead for AI Ethics in International Security, with Arthur Holland Michel
Arthur Holland Michel, Joel H. Rosenthal,
The last decade has witnessed a vibrant public discussion about how to safely, ethically, and legally integrate complex artificial intelligence (AI) into modern life, particularly in the sphere of security, says Senior Fellow Arthur Holland Michel. How do we learn to trust AI systems that we don't understand? What are the implications of this new technology as many nations confront a combination of mass protests and the pandemic?
- In Solidarity
The killing of George Floyd is another tragic moment in the long and painful history of racism in America. We feel the anger that arises from this assault on human decency. We hear the cries for action. The Council stands in solidarity with the millions of citizens who are raising their voices demanding change. Carnegie Council's motto is Ethics matter. We believe Black Lives Matter.
- Vox Populi: What Americans Think About Foreign Policy, with Dina Smeltz & Mark Hannah
Mark Hannah, Dina Smeltz, Nikolas K. Gvosdev,
What do Americans think about the role the United States should be playing in the world? How do they conceive of the different trade-offs between domestic and international affairs, among competing options and sets of interests and values? The Chicago Council on Global Affairs' Dina Smeltz and Eurasia Group Foundation's Mark Hannah share the results of surveys from their organizations in this conversation with Senior Fellow Nikolas Gvosdev.
- China's Changing Role in the Pandemic-Driven World, with Amitai Etzioni & Nikolas Gvosdev
Amitai Etzioni, Nikolas K. Gvosdev, Alex Woodson,
How has the pandemic changed U.S-China relations? How has it altered China's relationship with other nations and its geopolitical positioning? George Washington University's Amitai Etzioni and Senior Fellow Nikolas Gvosdev discuss these questions and more as they break down "great power competition" in the era of COVID-19.
- TIGRE: The Missing Link? Operationalizing the Democratic Community Narrative
Nikolas K. Gvosdev
Does the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as renewed concerns about overdependence on China, create an opening for the United States to move forward on decoupling from autocracies and reorienting both security and economic ties to allies who share similar values? Senior Fellow Nikolas Gvosdev shares his thoughts.

The USACE Section 408 program and the Fort Worth District is currently impacted by a federal funding shortfall. This will result in the delay of many Section 408 requests and also may delay some interdependent Regulatory permit decisions. The progress of existing Section 408 requests will be slowed or put on hold and we will not be able to coordinate or process any new requests until funding is received by the national Section 408 program for distribution, a funding agreement is executed with the Fort Worth District, or new appropriations in October 2020. For the status of a previously submitted Section 408 request, please check with the non-federal sponsor.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District has constructed numerous Civil Works projects throughout Texas. These USACE federally authorized Civil Works projects represent a diverse range of the USACE water resources mission, including Flood Risk Management projects, Ecosystem Restoration projects, and Multi-Purpose Reservoirs. Many of these Civil Works projects have been constructed with the cooperation of non-federal local sponsors.
The authority to grant permission for temporary or permanent alterations to USACE Civil Works projects is contained in Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and codified in 33 USC 408 (Section 408). Section 408 authorizes the USACE to grant permission to alter a Civil Works project upon a determination that the proposed alteration will not be injurious to the public interest and will not impair the usefulness of the project.
How to Submit a Section 408 Request
Assistance with determining if a proposed activity requires a Section 408 review begins with contacting the Fort Worth District. Early communication with the Fort Worth District, and the non-federal local sponsor who has operation and maintenance responsibilities, is critical to ensure a timely and efficient review. For questions, please contact the Section 408 Coordinator listed on this page.
Engineer Circular 1165-2-220 contains guidance applicable to all types of USACE Civil Works projects that may be tailored for a specific Section 408 request.
In addition to requirements in Engineer Circular 1165-2-220 (see paragraph 11 for basic requirements) the following information is important in ensuring a timely review:
Do not submit copies of previously approved USACE feasibility reports or National Environmental Policy Act documents unless USACE asks for these. Please incorporate these documents by reference in 408 request submittals.

In details, inflow of investment from State- run enterprises stood at more than 1,200 billion VND (around 51 million USD), a decrease of 18% compared with the same period last year, whilst the amount from the non-State sector went down by 23% against 2019 to reach over 4 trillion VND (170 million USD), and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to the city jumped by 92% to hit around 1,800 billion VND (over 76 million USD).
|The Da Nang Information Technology Park (DITP) Development JSC has poured thousands of billion VND in developing infrastructure on the 1st stage of the Dedicated Information Technology Park project in Hoa Vang District's Hoa Lien Commune.
The results have been impressive and remarkable in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The significant increase in FDI inflows to the city has been mainly attributed to the increased number of FDI projects that were put into operation between January and March. Included were the Mikazuki Spa & Hotel Resort project in Lien Chieu District's Hoa Hiep Nam Ward, and the 1st stage of the Sunshine aerospace components plant at the Hi-Tech Park.
Also, the other reason is thought that the municipal authorities have been prioritised attracting FDI inflows, with a focus on enhancing the quality rather than the number of projects.
Besides, some key projects are underway in the city despite the impact of the virus pandemic.
Most notably, the city has recorded impressive results in the disbursement of public investment funds.
So far this year, the city has disbursed 1,600 billion VND (nearly 68 million USD) of public investment funds, representing 13% of the city's target figure for 2020. Of this, more than 1,100 billion VND (over 43 million USD) has been granted for some key projects, equivalent to 63.3% of the total State funds.
Although the first 3 months of the year saw a significant decrease in FDI inflows to Da Nang as compared to the same period last year due to the effects of the Covid-19 outbreak, the city attracted huge amount of domestic investment.
|Work began on the 1st stage of the Hoa Lien Water Plant in Hoa Vang District in late March
During the 3-month period, the municipal government granted investment policy decisions to four new domestic investment projects, totalling 8,612 billion VND (approximately 366 million USD), a 4.72-fold increase in the total capital compared with the same period last year. This figure has brought the total number of domestic investment projects in the city to 335 with a total registered investment capital of 112,600 billion VND (approximately 5 billion USD) .
Mr Araki Shinya, General Director of Japan's Hatsuta Automatic Safety Solutions Co., Ltd, spoke highly of the city's favourable investment environment and its infrastructure systems.
He said that his company has rented the Long Hau JSC-developed 6,000m2 ready-built factory J401 at the Hi-Tech Park. He revealed that his plant would be put into operation this year.
Most recently, the city has disbursed thousands of billions of VND in public investment funds for the implementation of some key projects. Included are the 1st stage of the Hoa Lien Water Plant in Hoa Vang District, the rearrangement of traffic at western end of Tran Thi Ly Bridge, the upgrade and expansion of the Da Nang Maternity and Pediatrics Hospital, and the 3rd stage of the Hoa Xuan wastewater treatment plant.
Once completed, these projects will become the driving force of the city's economic growth in the coming time.
