This award has been set up as a tribute to lighthouse keepers, either in mid-ocean or isolated islands. Since the automation of most of these lighthouses, lighthouse keepers are, in the main, no longer required, but their long-standing contribution cannot be denied. With this in mind, WLOTA™ has been developed to encourage amateur radio operation from these remote locations 1.1.2 The WLOTA™ (World Lighthouse On The Air) was set up by F5OGG, F6DGT, F5SKJ, F 17511. It is an internationally-based award giving recognition to radio amateur contacts from these locations, with effect from 01 July 1997. 1.2 : Essential criteria to be met prior to validating any lighthouse for the WLOTA™ Award 1.2.1 The WLOTA™ Award is intended to complement existing internationally recognised awards (such as DXCC, IOTA, WPX, WAZ etc.). From the beginning, the founders were faced with a world-wide list of over 15000 lighthouses. An award of this kind, with such a huge number of lighthouses, would not be practical. Bearing in mind the need to acknowledge lighthouse keepers (para 1.1.1), it was decided to retain a limited number of isolated, manned lighthouses representative of the function they perform in the marine environment, and selected according to the criteria defined in the following paragraphs. The award programme should present a new and interesting challenge, as much for activators as for lighthouse hunters. 1.2.2 All lighthouses valid for the WLOTA™ Award must be located on islands. To be allocated a reference number, any lighthouse must satisfy the following criteria: - Maximum range of the beam to be not less than 10 nautical miles - Under 10 nautical miles, the decision is taken by WLOTA HQ (specials criteria's) 1.2.3 In cases where there is more than one lighthouse on a given island, only one reference number will be allocated (see "Position Lighthouse Station" and annex 1 of the WLOTA™ Award Directory). 1.2.4 All documents in possession of WLOTA™ Management Committee serve as reference for the attribution of WLOTA™ reference. 1.2.5 Lighthouses located on the mainland,

    ARGYLL & BUTE COUNCIL MID ARGYLL, KINTYRE AND ISLAY AREA COMMITTEE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES 7th July 2004 THE GAELIC RING 1. SUMMARY 1.1. An informal meeting took place in Oban during the week of last year’s Royal National Mod festival, involving some of the members of the Oban, Lorn and the Isles Area Committee and the Western Isles Council, at which matters of joint interest were discussed. 1.2. Among the items of mutual interest raised was the concept of creating a tourism marketing initiative which could be called ‘The Gaelic Ring’ which would be aimed at linking the Gaelic-speaking areas of the Western Seaboard of the mainland with the Argyll and Highland islands and the Hebridean chain of the Western Isles. The links would be physical (transportation links) and cultural (themes – music/dance/heritage etc), and could be promoted in the first instance by local partnerships assembling programmes of events which could be accessed using journeys within the existing Caledonian MacBrayne Network, not dissimilar to CalMac’s ‘Island Hopscotch’ travel packages. 1.3 The Gaelic Ring should be a carefully constructed tourism marketing effort developed through partnership working between Argyll & Bute Council, The Highland Council, Western Isles Council, the respective Area Tourist Boards, the HIE Network and Caledonian MacBrayne. 2. Recommendation 2.1. That the Mid Argyll, Kintyre and Islay Area Committee supports the development of the ‘Hebridean Gaelic Ring’ (Cearcall na Gaidhlig) initiative, and 2.2. That the Director of Development Services be authorised to co-ordinate and develop the concept in conjunction with other appropriate agencies and in close co-operation with the corresponding agencies in the Highland Council area and the Western Isles.

It is not surprising that UNESCO included the Pafos antiquities, Choirokoitia and ten of the Byzantine period churches of Troodos in its list of World Heritage Sites. The aim of this publication is to help visitors discover the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The qualified personnel at any Information Office of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) is happy to help organise your visit in the best possible way. Parallel to answering questions and enquiries, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation provides, free of charge, a wide range of publications, maps and other information material. Additional information is available at the CTO website: www.visitcyprus.com It is an unfortunate reality that a large part of the island’s cultural heritage has since July 1974 been under Turkish occupation.

  • Between Australia and New Guinea-Ecological and Cultural
    Geographical Review of Japan Vol. 59 (Ser. B), No. 2, 69-82, 1986 Between Australia and New Guinea-Ecological and Cultural Diversity in the Torres Strait with Special Reference to the Use of Marine Resources- George OHSHIMA* The region between lowland Papua and the northern tip of the Australian continent presents a fascinating panorama of ecological, cultural and socio-economic diversity. In lowland Papua and on its associated small islands such as Saibai, Boigu and Parama, a combination of coastal forests and muddy shores dominates the scene, whereas the Torres Strait Islands of volcanic and limestone origin, together with raised coral islands and their associated reef systems present a range of island ecosystems scattered over a broad territory some 800km in extent. Coralline habitats extend south wards to the Cape York Peninsula and some parts of Arnhem Land. Coupled with those ecological diversities within a relatively small compass across the Torres Strait, the region has evoked important questions concerning the archaeological and historical dichotomy between Australian hunter-gatherers and Melanesian horticulturalists. This notion is also reflectd in terms of its complex linguistic, ethnic and political composition. In summarizing the present day cultural diversity of the region, at least three major components emerge: hunter-gatherers in the Australian Northern Territory, Australian islanders and tribal Papuans. Historically, these groups have interacted in complex ways and this has resulted in an intricate intermingling of cultures and societies. Such acculturation processes operating over thousands of years make it difficult to isolate meaning ful trends in terms of "core-periphery" components of the individual cultures.

Accounting for the Fund The Companies Act 1985 does not apply to all public bodies but the principles that underlie the Act’s accounting and disclosure requirements are of general application: their purpose is to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the body concerned. The Government therefore has decided that the accounts of public bodies should be prepared in a way that conforms as closely as possible with the Act’s requirements and also complies with Accounting Standards where applicable. The accounts are prepared in accordance with accounts directions issued by the Secretary of State for Transport. The Fund’s accounts consolidate the General Lighthouse Authorities’ (GLAs) accounts and comply as appropriate with this policy. The notes to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse accounts contain further information. Section 211(5) of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 requires the Secretary of State to lay the Fund’s accounts before Parliament.
