Since then the EYP's has been overseen and supported by the Schwarzkopf-Stiftung Junges Europa and is hosted in Berlin, Germany. |
As an organization the “European Youth Parliament Ukraine” (EYP-Ukraine) was registered with the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine on February 18, 2002 and became a full-fledged participant in the development of civil society. EYP-Ukraine has successfully operated in Ukraine since 2000. It encourages youths to take part in one of the largest platforms for debates, intercultural meetings, educational work and exchange of ideas among young Europeans. Every year EYP Ukraine conducts a National Session where delegates to represent Ukraine at the International Session are selected. |
The organization has gained professional knowledge and experience in conducting youth activities: regional sessions and International forums, national conferences, workshops and seminars. EYP-Ukraine is the United Nation's main partner in conducting youth forums to achieve the Millennium Development Goals in Ukraine and a major youth partner of the EU Delegation during the celebration of Europe Days in Kiev and other cities. |
At the international level, EYP is governed by an international board, a six-member Governing Body elected by National Committees and by alumni. A representative of the Heinz-Schwarzkopf Foundation also serves on the Governing Body. The board is largely responsible for quality assurance at International Sessions, but also takes responsibility for the overall direction of the organisation and its long term sustainability and protection. Day-to-day business is administered by a hired manager. Philipp J. Scharff served from 2004 until 2008. Jan-Phillipp Beck (DE), the President of the 56th International Session in Kiev, headed the organization from 2008 until April 2011. At that time Ville Vasaramäki (FI) took over this role. Krista Lagus (Simberg) (FI) was an Executive Director from June 2014 until January 2017, when Lukas Fendel (DE) took over. |
National Committees are free to choose the form of management though they must comply with basic democratic principles. In Ukraine the Board consists of the President, 2 Vice-Presidents, 3 Board Members, 1 Secretary and 3 members of the Auditing Committee. Members of the Board are re-elected annually on the basis of voting by the EYP members by relative majority rule. |
EYP-Weekend is a two-day event that aims to promote the organization and to train youth to participate in bigger EYP-events such as the National Session. Mini-sessions they can be organized in many regions of the country. During the annual All-Ukrainian InterRail tour, mini-sessions occur simultaneously in many cities, united into regional “chains” (North, South, West, Central etc.). |
A National Selection Session occurs once a year. National Session is organized by the National Committee to select participants who will represent Ukraine at the International sessions. National sessions usually gather 100 to 130 participants from across the country and last from 4 to 6 days. |
Regional sessions and International Forums are held throughout the year and gather 70 to 120 participants (delegates, journalists and moderators). The geographical diversity of the countries, whose representatives take part in these events, make them a real platform for intercultural communication. |
The International Session of the European Youth Parliament takes place three time a year (spring, summer, autumn). It usually gathers about 300 participants from 35 European countries. During the ten days delegates work in international committees to develop solutions to political, economic, social and cultural issues that are on the agenda of the relevant committees of the European Parliament. The goal is resolutions. Those that are approved at the General Assembly are submitted to the European parliament as the European youth initiative. |
Members of the EYP Ukraine take part in such events abroad and organize sessions within the country every year. Thus, during the years of its activity the organization has held such events: |
= = = Chow–Rashevskii theorem = = = |
In sub-Riemannian geometry, the Chow–Rashevskii theorem (also known as Chow's theorem) asserts that any two points of a connected sub-Riemannian manifold are connected by a horizontal path in the manifold. It is named after Wei-Liang Chow who proved it in 1939, and Petr Konstanovich Rashevskii, who proved it independently in 1938. |
The theorem has a number of equivalent statements, one of which is that the topology induced by the Carnot–Carathéodory metric is equivalent to the intrinsic (locally Euclidean) topology of the manifold. A stronger statement that implies the theorem is the ball–box theorem. See, for instance, and . |

= = = Dongfeng Fengshen = = = |
Aeolus (Dongfeng Fengshen) is an automobile marque owned by the Chinese automaker Dongfeng Passenger Vehicle Company, a division of Dongfeng Motor Group. The brand was launched in July 2009 using the Fengshen name, and was later renamed to Aeolus as the English name, while the Chinese name remained the same (). |
Some of its products are based on those of PSA Peugeot Citroën, such as Fengshen L60, launched by Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën in 2015. |
The Fengshen name was first used as a vehicle model name by Yunbao Automobile, a joint-venture set up by the Taiwanese Yulon Motor. During the late 1990s, Nissan of Japan was formally added as a partner in the Yunbao joint-venture which resulted in the first Fengshen, the Yunbao Fengshen 7200, a rebadged model line based on the Nissan Bluebird U13 that was launched in the Chinese market in 1998. Later in 2003 Nissan bought Yulon’s share in the joint-venture which became Dongfeng-Nissan, and later the Fengshen name was chosen to become the name of the new sub-brand. |
The first Fengshen production model, an A-class four-door sedan called the Fengshen S30, was unveiled at the Auto Shanghai motor show in April 2009 and went on sale in China in July 2009. |
In June 2010 Dongfeng began construction of an engine plant in Hebei province for the manufacture of self-developed engines for Fengshen vehicles. |
The Fengshen H30, a mid-sized five-door hatchback, was officially launched in January 2011. The Fengshen H30 Cross, a compact five-door SUV, made its debut at the Auto Shanghai motor show in April 2011 and went on sale in China in the same month. The Fengshen A60, a compact sedan based on the Nissan Sylphy, made its debut at the Auto Guangzhou motor show in November 2011 and went on sale in China in March 2012. |
In April 2012 Dongfeng announced that it would establish a multi-brand dealership network across China selling Fengshen, Dongfeng Fengxing and Zhengzhou Nissan vehicles. |
Fengshen vehicles went on sale outside China for the first time in August 2012, when the marque was launched in Venezuela. |
The current Fengshen range comprises the following models: |
Fengshen products currently in development include a large MPV and an electric powered city car. |

= = = Boxing Australia = = = |
Boxing Australia Limited (BAL) is the governing body for the sport of amateur boxing in Australia. BAL trains and looks after Australia's Olympic boxing representatives. All around Australia, the development of boxing is in the hands of the BA. The Australian Sports Commission (ASC), Australian Olympic Committee (AOC), the Australian Commonwealth Games Association (ACGA), and the International Boxing Association (AIBA) have recognised that Boxing Australia is the National Sporting Organisation for boxing. |
A critical component of Boxing Australia’s core business are our development programs and areas. This is the grass-roots of our sport. Development plays a vital role in encouraging participants to learn and enjoy boxing. |
Regardless of a participants gender, age or experience there is always a role to play in our sport. The roles can vary from being an active competitor in either competition boxing or our low-contact participation program Box’Tag. If competing doesn’t take your fancy, there are other voluntary and official roles. |
Officiating is one way to be close to the action. Refereeing & Judging is a great way to become intimate with boxing. You will become an expert on the rules and always have the best seat in the house. Like the boxers, Referees & Judges also have a pathway to international success. |
Most actively volunteers become hobby coaches. The reward and enjoyment of being able to develop a bond and teach an athlete new skills is unmatched. Trainers coaches boxers for a variety of reasons and this is reflected in their philosophy (to win, to learn, to develop social skills). Regardless of what your philosophy is, there will always be a coaching position for you in boxing. |
Regardless of what your interest and skill-set in boxing is, there will always be an active role for you to play. For more information contact your local Member Association. |
High Performance is a concept within sport that is highly focused on a group of individuals or teams with the aim of achieving individual and overall goals to achieve success against our competition. |
Boxing Australia has had a proud history with our High Performance programs. In 1997, the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) introduced Boxing as a scholarship sport. Its origins started out as a camp-based program, and by the early 2000s, Boxing became a full-residential program at the AIS. |
In 2005 Boxing was accepted as a program sport for the Australian Sports Commission’s (ASC) National Talent Identification and Development (NTID) program which focused on identifying indigenous and heavyweight talent. |
In 2011, after the removal as an AIS Residential program Boxing Australia established full-ownership and management of our High Performance programs. The Boxing Australia Academy was established and conducted out of the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra (Centralised camps-based). |
The Boxing Australia Centre of Excellence was developed as a decentralised program within each state and territory. The purpose of the program was to identify talented boxers that have the potential to represent their state or territory at future Australian Championships. |
In 2013 the AIS Combat Centre was established. The AIS Combat Centre houses the Boxing Australia training facilities featuring 2 training rings and 1 Olympic-size ring, 15 bags of various shapes and sizes, 2 uppercut wall bags, 2 speed balls and ample floor space. The Centre also features an area for strength and conditioning involving weights, skipping ropes, exercise bikes and rowing machines. A medical room coming off the Combat Centre floor allows quick access to treatment for our boxers. The AIS Combat Centre is a shared space, also involving training facilities for Judo, Taekwondo and Wrestling. |
In 2013/14 the Centre of Excellence program changed to become the BAL Development Program, with a renewed focus on adolescent athletes with the potential to make state/territory teams. The main objectives of the Development Program are to teach young boxers terminology and skills at an early age, so as they progress through the pathway National Coaches do not need to re-teach these skills, but refine them. |
Boxing Australia receives significant support from the Australian Sports Commission and the Australian Institute of Sport to conducting the running of our High Performance programs. |
Boxing Australia adopts a Federation Style Organisational Structure with Member Association representation with a Council, a Board of Directors that are Elected, Management and Operational Staff, Standing Committees and Commissions. |
The overarching management and strategic focus is handled a Board of seven directors, with the ability to coopt two non-voting directors plus the Chief Executive Officer, Josh O'Brien. |

= = = Minor High School = = = |
Minor High School is a four-year public high school in the Birmingham, Alabama suburb of Adamsville. It is one of fourteen high schools in the Jefferson County School System. School colors are purple and white, and the athletic teams are called the Tenacious Tigers. Minor competes in AHSAA Class 6A athletics. |
Minor High School was established to serve the communities of McDonald's Chapel, Edgewater, Mulga, Bayview, Minor Heights, Docena, Crumley Chapel, Sandusky, Hillview, Westwood, Adamsville, Cardiff, Forestdale, Graysville, and Brookside. On February 13, 1922, Minor High School, named for John W. Minor, opened to 95 students. Serving as principal was Mr. W. C. Petty. According to "The Birmingham Post", Minor was the "pride and joy" of the Jefferson County Board of Education, costing $100,000 ($75,000 for the building and $25,000 for equipment). |
Minor's first full year of operation began on September 11, 1922. With a faculty of seven, Minor served grades nine through twelve and consisted of a 301-member student body. In addition, Minor also established its athletic program, fielding a football team, a girls' basketball team, and a tennis club the same year. In June 1923, Minor graduated its first class of fourteen seniors. |
Catastrophe struck at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, January 22, 1926 when a fire, originating in the chemistry laboratory, consumed the school and forced its temporary closure. Minor reopened its doors in 1927 after the main building was rebuilt. A gymnasium, extra classrooms, and a library were added later. |
From its first season in 1922, Friday night football was a community event, but because of inadequate facilities, most football games were played at the opponent's field. In 1953, through the efforts of the communities served, Minor built a lighted football field and stadium. A press box was later added in 1960. |
Minor experienced various expansions through the years: an office wing and classrooms in 1963, a lunchroom and band room in 1970, additional classrooms when Dixie Junior High School became available, and a new field house and gymnasium. These additions doubled the campus size. |
In the late 1980s, Minor faced the task of renovation. Instead of refurbishing the school's old building, the Jefferson County Board of Education decided to retire the old school and build a new facility that would expand the school to include the 9th grade. In September 1988, classes began in the new building located in Adamsville. In 1996, a new lighted stadium was built at the Adamsville site. The 2001-2002 school year opened with a new wing consisting of seventeen new classrooms and three science labs. The necessity of a second gymnasium was soon evident. In 2002-2003, a new practice gymnasium was added to the campus. Working in conjunction with Wal-Mart and the Jefferson County Commission, Minor High School is currently building several practice athletic fields with a projected use by the soccer, softball, and football teams as well as a secondary practice location for the band. |
