    ABSTRACT Title of Document: I Forgive You But it is My Christian Duty to Punish You Annette Lutivini Majanja, Master of Fine Arts, 2013 Directed By: Professor Howard Norman, Department of English This is a collection of stories about Kenyan characters that are the public face of homegrown success. They are obedient children and responsible working adults. For many of these characters it becomes clear that there is a big gap between voiced facts about their lives and the unspoken truths about what they are. Rumors, gossip, letter writing and private prayer undermine this public face. During Daniel Arap Moi’s Presidency between 1978 and 2002, Kenyan children were taught in school that Moi was the generous Baba wa Taifa or father of the Nation who supplied them with free school milk. He was the number one farmer, teacher, headmaster and chancellor of all universities in Kenya. This is where the characters in this story collection live.

    16 Textiles in defence* Richard A Scott Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency, Science and Technology Division, Flagstaff Road, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS, UK 16.1 Introduction To be prepared for War is one of the most effectual means of preserving Peace (George Washington, 1790)1 Defence forces on land, sea, or air throughout the world are heavily reliant on tech- nical textiles of all types – whether woven, knitted, nonwoven, coated, laminated, or other composite forms. Technical textiles offer invaluable properties for military land forces in particular, who are required to move, live, survive and fight in hostile environments. They have to carry or wear all the necessities for comfort and sur- vival and thus need the most lightweight, compact, durable, and high performance personal clothing and equipment. The life-critical requirements for protecting indi- viduals from both environmental and battlefield threats have ensured that the major nations of the world expend significant resources in developing and providing the most advanced technical textiles for military use. 16.2 Historical background Military textile science is not new, and one of the earliest documented studies can probably be credited to Count Rumford, or Benjamin Thompson. Rumford was an American army colonel and scientist who issued a paper in 1792 entitled ‘Philo- sophical Transactions’, which reported on the importance of internally trapped air in a range of textile fabrics to the thermal insulation provided by those fabrics.2 He was awarded the Copley Medal for his paper, as the significance of his discovery was recognised immediately. * Copyright MOD (1997) DCTA, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS 426 Handbook of technical textiles 16.2.1 Pre-Twentieth century Up until the end of the 19th century military land battles were fought at close quar- ters by individual engagements.

  • General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
    RESTRICTED GENERAL AGREEMENT ON L/22JT TARIFFS AND TRADE 1 July 1964 Limited Distribution Original: English QUANTITATIVE RESTRICTIONS MAINTAINED BY CYPRUS, TANGANYIKA AND UGANDA Following the instruction by the CONTRACTING PARTIES at their twentieth session (BISD Eleventh Supplement, page 167, paragraph 4), the secretariat has been in contact with newly acceded contracting parties on the question of the quantitative restrictions they maintain. Among the replies received so far, those from Cyprus, Tanganyika and Uganda, list restrictions which do not appear to be maintained for the purpose of safeguarding the balance of payments. The details of the answers that have been received are annexed. It is suggested that these be regarded as notifications submitted under the procedure relating to "residual" restrictions (BISD Ninth Supplement, page 19). ) L/2237 Page 2 CYPRUS 1. Products shown in the following list may be imported only subject to specific import licences. Import licences are granted freely for most of the time. The few items which, according to the Government of Cyprus, are subject to "certain restrictions" include Nos. 1-3* 5* 7-H* 15> 16, 21 and 32. "In the case of some of these latter items licences are granted seasonally and only in two or three cases is import prohibited." 2. The Government of Cyprus states that it does not discriminate against any country as far as imports into Cyprus are concerned. However, payments for goods originating from Eastern European countries and the United Arab Republic are effected through "clearing" accounts in accordance with the provisions of bilateral agreements which Cyrpus has concluded with these countries.

  • History 1886
    How many bones must you bury before you can call yourself an African? Updated December 2009 A South African Diary: Contested Identity, My Family - Our Story Part D: 1886 - 1909 Compiled by: Dr. Anthony Turton [email protected] Caution in the use and interpretation of these data This document consists of events data presented in chronological order. It is designed to give the reader an insight into the complex drivers at work over time, by showing how many events were occurring simultaneously. It is also designed to guide future research by serious scholars, who would verify all data independently as a matter of sound scholarship and never accept this as being valid in its own right. Read together, they indicate a trend, whereas read in isolation, they become sterile facts devoid of much meaning. Given that they are “facts”, their origin is generally not cited, as a fact belongs to nobody. On occasion where an interpretation is made, then the commentator’s name is cited as appropriate. Where similar information is shown for different dates, it is because some confusion exists on the exact detail of that event, so the reader must use caution when interpreting it, because a “fact” is something over which no alternate interpretation can be given. These events data are considered by the author to be relevant, based on his professional experience as a trained researcher. Own judgement must be used at all times . All users are urged to verify these data independently. The individual selection of data also represents the author’s bias, so the dataset must not be regarded as being complete.

  • Ocs & the Boer War
    OLD CONWAYS & THE BOER WAR v19 The Conway Chapel at Birkenhead Priory contains the Memorial Boards and Honour Boards for WWI and WWII. It has been known for some time that OCs participated in the Boer War and that at least one lost his life. Members of the Old South African branch of the Conway Club agreed that the South African Conway Centenary Shield presented by them in 1959 should be re-purposed as the Boer War Memorial Shield. This summary of OCs who lost their lives in, or who participated in that war acts as a form of Boer War Honours Board as it was not possible authoritatively to list all those honoured in that war with either gallantry or service medals. The photo below right shows Guy Brooke-Smith (44-46) presenting the shield to Captain Hewitt on Sports Day 1959. The photo below right shows him presenting it as the Boer War Memorial to the Chapel in June 2017. 1 CONTENTS 1 OCS WHO DIED ON SERVICE .................................................................................................... 3 2 OCS WHO SERVED IN THE ARMED SERVICES ....................................................................... 4 3 OCS WHO SERVED IN THE MN ................................................................................................ 15 4 “COMFORTS” FOR THE TROOPS ............................................................................................. 17 5 SOURCES ................................................................................................................................... 18 2 1 OCS WHO DIED ON SERVICE Edmund Evan K.

  • Textiles for Dress 1800-1920
    Draft version only: not the publisher’s typeset P.A. Sykas: Textiles for dress 1800-1920 Textile fabrics are conceived by the manufacturer in terms of their material composition and processes of production, but perceived by the consumer firstly in terms of appearance and handle. Both are deeply involved in the economic and cultural issues behind the wearing of cloth: cost, quality, meaning. We must look from these several perspectives in order to understand the drivers behind the introduction of fabrics to the market, and the collective response to them in the form of fashion. A major preoccupation during our time frame was novelty. On the supply side, novelty gave a competitive edge, stimulated fashion change and accelerated the cycle of consumption. On the demand side, novelty provided pleasure, a way to get noticed, and new social signifiers. But novelty can act in contradictory ways: as an instrument for sustaining a fashion elite by facilitating costly style changes, and as an agent for breaking down fashion barriers by making elite modes more affordable. It can drive fashion both by promoting new looks, and later by acting to make those looks outmoded. During the long nineteenth century, the desire for novelty was supported by the widely accepted philosophical view of progress: that new also implied improved or more advanced, hence that novelty was a reflection of modernity. This chapter examines textiles for dress from 1800 to 1920, a period that completed the changeover from hand-craft to machine production, and through Europe’s imperial ambitions, saw the reversal of East/West trading patterns.

    Green Eggs and Hamlet 26th Edition of the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Literary Journal Editors Noah Patton Rachel Childers Kameron Dunn S t a Rachel Corson Dylan Candelora Lead Designer Michaela Jestis Cover Designer Chance Mitchell Faculty Advisors Dr. Randy Prus, Chair of English, Humanities, and Language Jack Ousey, Professor of Art Letter from The Editors Welcome to the 26th edition of Green Eggs and Hamlet. If you are a long-time reader, no doubt you have already noticed some big changes to this year’s edition. When we fi rst sat down to prepare for this edition, we looked through all twenty-fi ve of the previous editions and noticed one thing missing: unity. In the spirit of improving the publication as a whole, we decided that the best way to approach this edition would be to pick a theme. After a long consideration of which theme would best refl ect the beautiful, turbulent nature of life, we decided on Collision, an homage to the contrasts and confl icts that bring us together. We could not have completed this project alone, and there are countless people we would like to thank. To our faculty sponsors, Randy Prus and Jack Ousey, thank you for working tirelessly to make this publication great. To the other wonderful SOSU faculty and staff members, especially Wes Lovell, Russell Poole, and Teresa Anderson, thank you for being patient with us and our many questions. To the students and alumni who sub- mitted literature and art, we wish we could have published every piece we received, and whether you were selected or not, thank you for trusting us with your work.

Amery Fellow of All Souls With many Photogravure and other Portraits, Maps and Battle Plans Vol. VII Index and Appendices LONDON SAMPSON Low, MARSTON AND COMPANY, LTD. loo, SOUTHWARK STREET, S.E. 1909 LONDON : PRINTED BY WILLIAM CLOWES AND SONS, LIMITED, DUKE STREET, STAMFORD STREET, S.E., AND GREAT WINDMILL STREET, W PREFACE THE various appendices and the index which make up the present volume are the work of Mr. G. P. Tallboy, who has acted as secretary to the History for the last seven years, and whom I have to thank not only for the labour and research comprised in this volume, but for much useful assistance in the past. The index will, I hope, prove of real service to students of the war. The general principles on which it has been compiled are those with which the index to The Times has familiarized the public. The very full bibliography which Mr. Tallboy has collected may give the reader some inkling of the amount of work involved in the composition of this history. I cannot claim to have actually read all the works comprised in the list, though I think there are comparatively few among them that have not been consulted. On the other hand the list does not include the blue-books, despatches, magazine and newspaper articles, and, above all, private diaries, narratives and notes, which have formed the real bulk of my material.
