Why should businesses come to Flanders for their logistics operations? Cushman & Wakefi eld’s
2006 European Distribution Report gives a clear answer: Flanders is the European number one
location for logistics operations and will hold this position for the years to come.
In this brochure we will introduce you to a sample of the European Distribution Centers, port
operators, stevedoring companies, major shippers and other logistics players that have established
their activities here. The reasons why companies opted for Flanders are as diverse as the
companies themselves. Some praise Flanders for its world-leading ports, some for its solid
know-how, and others for the vision it has developed on the future of logistics.
We give them a chance to explain why they came here and how they managed to achieve sustainable,
profi table growth in Flanders. In this way, you can hear about Flanders’ logistics strengths
from the business side.

Captain Nick Walker on the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft CarriersICSA, LLC
This presentation was made by Captain Nick Walker of the Royal Navy on August 10, 2016 in Canberra Australia to a Williams Foundation seminar.
The Williams Foundation has held a seminar on new approaches to air-sea integration on August 10, 2016 in Canberra, Australia.
The Royal Australian Navy has had the ability to network and share situational awareness amongst the fleet for many years and the P-3s has been the only RAAF platform capable of being part of that network. The RAAF’s journey of networking its capability journey started more recently with the Hornet Upgrade Program and has accelerated with the introduction of capabilities like Wedgetail and Vigilaire. All of the RAAF’s fleet is now capable of linking into and contributing to an Air Layer of the Joint Battle management system.
With the advent of 5th Generation capabilities like the JSF and the new combat systems on the AWD as well as the design and development of the new combat systems for the Australia’s future frigates, Offshore Patrol vessels and Submarines, the ADF has a unique opportunity to influence and design in an unprecedented level of integration into the RAN’s and RAAF’s new platforms. That unprecedented level of integration should drive new thinking on the integration of air and sea power effects. The seminar is about examining the challenges and possibilities of the combat power in that future integrated force.
Air Force and Navy need to not only remediate existing deficiencies but take advantage of the transformative nature of fifth generation technology. The seminar aims to explore the art of the possible in future Air-Sea operations.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

An Invitation to Military Airlift and Air-to-Air Refuelling 2019
Dear Colleague,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in the 20th annual Military
Airlift and Air-to-Air Refuelling conference, being hosted in Lisbon by SMi Group
later this year. As industry professionals, we all regard air mobility as a mission
critical priority to enable strategic and tactical reach & this essential gathering
of military and commercial experts will provide the opportunity to promote and
discuss its value in defence.
Today, European Air Forces are striving to deliver the capabilities that are
demanded by the modern operational tempo. Meeting these requirements
demands an evolving approach to our engagement with allied partners
and industry – as seen within the growing successes of international pooling
and sharing efforts and multi-faceted asset development within the dynamic
commercial market.
Within this landscape, there is a clear and present need for vendors, operational
users, equipment & service delivery organisations and research & development
agencies to come together to promote what works and how we can do better.
I hope that this event will identify how cost-effective solutions will continue to
provide the alliance with the warfighting edge required as we move forward.
Having attended this conference for the last ten years, I firmly believe it is
the best one held in Europe and the perfect environment for discussion and
networking. Hence, I am honoured to be able to chair it for the fifth time in a row.
May I ask you to pay particular attention to the conference agenda which
has been put together with great care to give you the very best opportunity
to benchmark and learn from subject matter experts. SMi has invited the most
senior and well-respected Commanders of Air Transport bases, Heads of Air
Mobility organizations and agencies, and this seniority is a demonstration of the
support for this critical meeting.
I am looking forward to meeting you in December in Lisbon with many other
like-minded individuals to ensure you too can benefit from this unique event.
Yours Sincerely,

a special team of highly experienced, professional and military people well versed in bespoke funding and the interface between
military and civilian operations. With experience in military operations as diverse and unique as Australia, the Pacific, the Middle East
and of course Europe, SkyTech is backed by many years of successfully challenging what is in place today and, as a result, we produce
new ideas and concepts that are both beneficial, cost-effective and also highly regarded. SkyTech views its relationships with the OEMs
as paramount and we understand that our business model must also be based on the understanding that any military end user will
want, and also need, a relationship with the OEM. Our agreements with the OEM’s respects this and options are already in place with
this in mind. We firmly believe that Militaries and Governments need to maximise their options when doing business. SkyTech brings to
the table efficient and cost-effective scenarios, tailored to your requirements, that solve the budgetary constraints of Capex intensive
procurements. Already heavily committed in the arena of military flight training we have created options that can readily be discussed
