Subject: Russian Children's Art Web Site
Lena Pimenova of the Russian Internet service provider Garant Park has
called to our attention a charming site for children's art. It is in
Russian, but for those who have Cyrillic fonts on their browsers--even
for those who don't--it's worth a visit.
"Deti v Internete--Galereia Detskogo Risunka" (Children on the
Internet--Gallery of Children's Drawings) is located at:
http://www.park.ru/gallery/index.htm
Should any schools outside Russia wish to post some of their children's
art on the site, Garant Park would welcome it. They also offer links to
other, non-Russian, sites for children's art on the Web.
For those who may not have Cyrillic fonts but want to see an example of
what's on the site, point your browser to the very colorful "Mosque" by
eight year-old Mitya Radkovskii:

Email-address: fnk@kaznet.kz
Dear Media Professional, We are proud to let you know that we have
organised a conference/presentation of Tax Standards Formation Fund
(Kazakhstan). The conference will be held with participation of
Kazakhstani government's representatives. Unfortunately, we were not able
to advise you earlier due to some technical reasons. However, we believe
the conference can be interesting and useful to you because of growing
popularity of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the world: "Kazakstan, the
world's largest land-locked country, is resource-rich and offers
considerable trade and investment opportunities. Of particular value are
vast reserves of oil and natural gas, as well as gold, copper, and
chromium. Lack of effective transport routes and relative isolation make
it difficult for Kazakstan to access international markets. The government
is publicly committed to building a democratic, market-based political,
social and economic order." From the report of USAID 1998 The conference
will take its place on 24.11.98 in Astana - the capital of Kazakhstan. For
further information, please refer to our Internet page:
http//www.initiative.almaty.kz If you have your representatives in
Kazakhstan, they arwe more than wellcome to visit the conference. In any
case we let you know about the outcomes of the conference. Thank you for
your attention, The conference's management.

Subject: Scholarship for Mid-Career Professionals
Starr Fellows Program for Mid-Career Professionals
The George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs
will be awarding fellowships to allow a small number of mid-career
professionals from Eastern Europe, Russia, the former Soviet Republics,
South Asia, Latin America and Africa to pursue the Master of International
Policy and Practice program during the 1999-2000 academic year. The
fellowships, made possible by a generous grant from the Starr Foundation,
will range from half- to full-tuition awards. Recipients must be able to
cover their own living and travel expenses.
Criteria for Admission
Candidates must have a B.A. plus either eight years of professional
work experience or an advanced degree to be eligible for the
fellowship. GREs are recommended but not required. A TOEFL score of
600 is usually required for admission. The competition for both the
fellowships and admission to the M.I.P.P. program is extremely
competitive.
The M.I.P.P.
The M.I.P.P. is an intensive, one-year degree program for mid-career
professionals. It prepares international affairs professionals to
understand complex global trends, make informed decisions about their
organizations' future, analyze and forecast international events, and think
and plan strategically in a global environment. M.I.P.P. candidates take
three core courses: one in international politics, one in international
economics, and one exclusive seminar that engages participants in
discussions with prominent guest speakers from international business, the
policy community, the international media, and the nonprofit sector.
Remaining coursework is tailored to participants' individual needs.
M.I.P.P. candidates can concentrate on a wide range of related subjects
including international business, economics, politics, development,
security policy, or science and technology policy. M.I.P.P. candidates may
also choose to study the dynamics of a particular region, such as Latin
America or Asia, or the international aspects of U.S. policy.
The Elliott School of International Affairs
The Elliott School is The George Washington University's professional
school of international affairs. Located in the heart of the nation's
capital, the School trains exceptional men and women in the theory and
practice of international affairs. It is home to a widely respected
faculty and three research centers, which provide in-depth analysis of an
extensive range of international economic, scientific, and political
issues.

be given to inter-disciplinary panel proposals.
Videos/Films. The Convention intends to show short videos (10-15 minutes),

or films, as special events. We welcome suggestions and proposals for
videos and films focussing on East-Central Europe or the former Soviet
Union. All correspondence should be sent to the Program Chair, Dominique

Dominique Arel (address below). Deadline for proposals: 10 December 1998

all travel and accommodation costs. ASN is unable to assist participants
financially, including applicants from Eastern Europe.

$55-$75 price range, others in the $100-120 area. For further information,

RSL Com is available now in most of the states as a 1+ service.
Interstate rate is $.099/min, flat rate, without any surcharges.
1+ Service means that RSL will become your main long distance
carrier (like AT&T or MCI). There is no prefixes to dial any more!
Just dial 011 + country code + city code + number.
9.9 cpm with 6 second increments is available for business/
home business customers.
Calling Card available with the same Intern'l rates and 17 cpm
interstate without any surcharges.
In ALL states RSL is available as "add-on" service.
Add-on service means:
- no need to change telephone company;
- no additional charges;
- calling card with the same rates
ADVANTAGES:
^^^^^^^^^^^
Super-low rates apply 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
Best of all, there are NO HIDDEN CHARGES: no access fees,
per-call fees, monthly fees, sign-up fees, peak-period
surcharges, etc.
Calling Card is the major advantage of RSL Com. The same
rates and absolutely no surcharges.
