Since , Brittany was re-established as a Sovereign Duchy with somewhat definite borders, administered by Dukes of Breton houses from to , before falling into the sphere of influence of the Plantagenets and then the Capets. Saint-Brieuc Main article: Duchy of Brittany. In the camp was closed and the French military decided to incorporate the remaining 19, Breton soldiers into the 2nd Army of the Loire. In Vannes , there was an unfavorable attitude towards the Revolution with only of the city's population of 12, accepting the new constitution. Prieur sought to implement the authority of the Convention by arresting suspected counter-revolutionaries, removing the local authorities of Brittany, and making speeches. The rulers of Domnonia such as Conomor sought to expand their territory including holdings in British Devon and Cornwall , claiming overlordship over all Bretons, though there was constant tension between local lords. It is therefore a strategic choice as a case study of some of the processes associated with the emergence of mass tourism, and the effects of this kind of tourism development on local populations. The first unified Duchy of Brittany was founded by Nominoe. This book was the world's first trilingual dictionary, the first Breton dictionary and also the first French dictionary. However, he provides less extensive access to how ordinary Breton inhabitants participated in the making of Breton tourism. And herein lies the central dilemma that Young explores in this impressive, deeply researched study of the development of regional tourism in Brittany.

  • July 2005 BRANDING? JUST SAY NO! M IKE 'S
    Published by Mec Vannin - the Manx Nationalist Party Earroo / Issue 35 - Jerrey Souree / July 2005 BRANDING? JUST SAY NO! M IKE 'S In 2003 a group of people who presumably see themselves as “movers and shakers” and who move in the circle of ambitious politicians, managed to convince them that the Island needed a “make over” to create a new and exciting image for the 21st century. In due course, Tynwald voted half a million pounds of E NRON public money to the Branding Committee. The current branding exercise is symptomatic of successive Manx Governments' paranoid approach to what they believe is the outside world's perception (when we register at all) of the Isle of Man. A CCOUNTING Certainly, in the present situation, it is easy to see the attraction for the Manx Government of a new image but, as that would involve The Chief Minister's announcement that the entire board of the MEA had resigned when it multiple resignations, it is not likely to happen. became clear to them that they no longer had the confidence of the Council of Ministers is something of a joke.

  • Manx Gaelic and Physics, a Personal Journey, by Brian Stowell
    keynote address Editors’ note: This is the text of a keynote address delivered at the 2011 NAACLT conference held in Douglas on The Isle of Man. Manx Gaelic and physics, a personal journey Brian Stowell. Doolish, Mee Boaldyn 2011 At the age of sixteen at the beginning of 1953, I became very much aware of the Manx language, Manx Gaelic, and the desperate situation it was in then. I was born of Manx parents and brought up in Douglas in the Isle of Man, but, like most other Manx people then, I was only dimly aware that we had our own language. All that changed when, on New Year’s Day 1953, I picked up a Manx newspaper that was in the house and read an article about Douglas Fargher. He was expressing a passionate view that the Manx language had to be saved – he couldn’t understand how Manx people were so dismissive of their own language and ignorant about it. This article had a dra- matic effect on me – I can say it changed my life. I knew straight off somehow that I had to learn Manx. In 1953, I was a pupil at Douglas High School for Boys, with just over two years to go before I possibly left school and went to England to go to uni- versity. There was no university in the Isle of Man - there still isn’t, although things are progressing in that direction now. Amazingly, up until 1992, there 111 JCLL 2010/2011 Stowell was no formal, official teaching of Manx in schools in the Isle of Man.

    4. BILL FOR SECOND READING 4.1. Council of Ministers (Amendment) Bill 2016 – Second Reading approved Mr Cannan to move: That the Council of Ministers (Amendment) Bill 2016 be read a second time. The Speaker: Item 4, Second Reading, Council of Ministers (Amendment) Bill. I call on the mover, Hon. Member for Michael, Mr Cannan. Mr Cannan: Mr Speaker, I have promised Hon. Members that I intended to deliver a simple change to legislation that would see the election of the Chief Minister become purely a matter for the House of Keys. What I hope that you will find in front of you today is a series of amendments that moves the balance of power in this highly important election entirely to the publicly-elected Chamber, removing any input from the Legislative Council and, thereby, not only restoring primacy to the House of Keys, but in having elected the Chief Minister, allows that person to take up position unencumbered by any undue allegiance to the Legislative Council or individual Members of the Legislative Council. Mr Speaker, this is good for democracy and accountability, and also provides a small but significant step forward in reforming Tynwald. Of course, Mr Speaker, in electing the Chief Minister, it is therefore only right that the House of Keys retains the privilege of removing him or her from office. Therefore, I propose that the Council of Ministers Act is amended to provide for that to happen by a vote of 16 or more Members of the House of Keys. Members, of course, will recognise that the current system allows for a vote of no confidence by a straight majority in Tynwald and, in changing the vote back to the House of Keys, I have sought to recognise the change and decrease in voting numbers to 24 Members.
