In military weddings, especially those of commissioned officers, a guard, composed usually of service members of the same branch, form the Saber arch. In principle any military unit could act as a guard of honour. However, in some countries certain units are specially designated to serve as a guard of honour, as well as other public duties. Guards of Honour also serve in the civilian world for fallen police officers and other civil servants. Certain religious bodies, especially Churches of Honour Guard Anglican Communion and the Methodist movement, have the tradition of an Honour Guard Honour Guard the funeral of an ordained elder, in which all other ordained elders present "guard the line" between the door of the church and the grave, or hearse if the deceased is to be buried elsewhere or cremated.

    Jamaica Page 1 of 10 Jamaica Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2007 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 11, 2008 Jamaica is a constitutional parliamentary democracy with a population of approximately 2.7 million. In generally free and fair elections on September 5, the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP), led by Bruce Golding, won 32 of the 60 seats in the House of Representatives, and he was sworn in as prime minister on September 10. The civilian authorities generally maintained effective control of the security forces. While the government generally respected the human rights of its citizens, there were serious problems in some areas, including: unlawful killings committed by members of the security forces, mob violence against and vigilante killings of those suspected of breaking the law, abuse of detainees and prisoners by police and prison guards, poor prison and jail conditions, continued impunity for police who committed crimes, an overburdened judicial system and frequent lengthy delays in trials, violence and discrimination against women, trafficking in persons, and violence against suspected or known homosexuals. RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Section 1 Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life While the government or its agents did not commit any politically motivated killings, security forces committed unlawful or unwarranted killings during the year. The police frequently employed lethal force in apprehending criminal suspects, which resulted in 219 deaths as of December 1, compared with 189 deaths for the same period in 2006. While allegations of "police murder" remained frequent, the validity of some allegations was suspect.

INF 10/144 (4) CARIBBEAN THROUGH A LENS ARCHIVE LEARNING RESOURCE TEACHER’S NOTES Photographs are amazing documents that can cross cultural boundaries and communicate a clear message without a word being spoken. How we read photographs also plays a vital role in the way we see and make judgements about what is happening and what messages are conveyed. How we interpret a photograph is linked to our personal connections with place and the assumptions we make between the photographer and sitter/subject. This learning resource attempts to examine representations of race, culture and identity using photographic images from the National Archives Collection. “Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak .” John Berger The worksheets are themed in four sections and have activities on the reverse. Each worksheet will have contextual information as a starting point to investigate and research other photographs and historical documents.

  • Defence and Security in the Anglophone Caribbean
    SPECIAL SECTION 113 The Caribbean Defence and Security in the Anglophone Caribbean The Roads to Cooperation The Anglophone Caribbean and Latin America represent different realities joined through geography and found in the same hemisphere. They share many of the same hemi- spheric structures and also (though only partly) historical agendas and pattern of relations with their neighbours. Knowledge of the defence and security realities of the Caribbean adds to the sense of being part of the same hemisphere and affects the policies of many Latin American countries, as witnessed by the involvement of Guyana in the South American Defence Council, exis- ting cooperation and accords, and their common participation in Defence Ministerial Conferences Defence and Security Forces and the OAS Committee on Hemispheric Security. This Dossier presents data and analyses on twelve countries of the Anglophone Caribbean: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Antigua Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago. The information contained allows one to and Barbuda appreciate the richness of their relations and experiences and the prospects of bringing the Latin American and Caribbean regions closer, thus associating two regions that evolve and cooperate in the same space. Bahamas Anglophone Caribbean countries’ political systems derive from their British colonial past and, because of both history and language, the region has developed its strongest ties with such actors as Canada, the USA and Great Britain. In matters of security and defence, Anglophone Caribbean countries share an agenda with the one another and, in many instances, participate in regional struc- Barbados tures, including the Regional Security System.

  • Jackie Mittoo at Home and Abroad: the Cultural and Musical Negotiations of a Jamaican Canadian
    JACKIE MITTOO AT HOME AND ABROAD: THE CULTURAL AND MUSICAL NEGOTIATIONS OF A JAMAICAN CANADIAN KAREN ANITA ELOISE CYRUS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO June 2015 © Karen A. E. Cyrus, 2015 ABSTRACT Donat Roy ‘Jackie’ Mittoo (1948-1990) made significant contributions to the genres of rock steady and reggae as a musician, producer and musical director of Studio One in Jamaica. He is renowned for the number of recordings that he arranged at Studio One, as well as his own instrumental recordings that featured the organ. He was also among a number of Jamaican musicians who migrated to Canada at the end of the 1960s and was active on the music scene in Toronto, as well as in the UK and the USA. Although Mittoo’s significance to the emergence and dissemination of Jamaican popular music (JPM) is acknowledged by music industry personnel, most studies focus on the big names of reggae and the theme of social protest in their music. Little attention is given to the role of session musicians such as Mittoo and the instrumental recordings that they created. This study attempts to redress this oversight; it will offer the first in-depth account of the career and instrumental recordings of Jackie Mittoo. This dissertation is in two parts. The first section presents a career biography which situates Mittoo’s role within the collective experience of Jamaican session musicians at home in Jamaica, and abroad in the centers of JPM production in Canada, the UK, and the USA.

  • The Mercian Family Newsletter the Heart of England’S Infantry
    Issue 10: May 2015 The Mercian Family Newsletter The Heart of England’s Infantry News Regimental News - The 1 MERCIAN Rugby Union side emphatically beat 104 Regiment Royal Artillery, 35 points to 12 in April to win the inaugural Gheluvelt Cup. It took place at Sixways Stadium, the home of professional Union side the Worcester Warriors. The first half was particularly hard fought, with both sides capitalising on good build up play to trade scores. However, the 1 MERCIAN side showed its class in the second half, pulling away for a convincing win. It provided the perfect end to a brilliant first season for the side. Despite their relative inexperience as a team, they finished five points clear in their league to earn promotion and were the final Infantry Battalion competing in the British Army Championship Vase. The Colonel of the Regiment, Brigadier Williams OBE was also honoured to be able to open the MERCIAN SUITE, a hospitality room in Sixways which has been dedicated to the Regiment. It is hoped the match which is named after the Battle of Gheluvelt will now take place annually. 1 MERCIAN – Alongside continuing preparations for deployment to Canada in August, 1 MERCIAN soldiers were put to the test in April by US ARMY General Milley on Salisbury Plain. Corporal Simmonds from Walsall was given the Task Force Helm and Certificate of Commendation by General Milley. He was awarded the commendation for actions he took during a suicide bomb attack whilst in Afghanistan last year. Lieutenant Colonel Mark Ellwood MBE, Commanding Officer of 1 MERCIAN said: “The Battalion has been training exceptionally hard in recent months, so it was a real boost for the men to have their skills witnessed and appreciated by such a high ranking US General.

The West Indies Federation thus established, consisted of the islands of Antigua, Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts (Christopher)-Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and Trinidad and Tobago, and had a total area of eight thousand square miles scattered in a wide expanse of ocean. In this federation, Trinidad and Tobago by virtue of its economic development was expected to play an important part. The purpose of this study is to examine the attitude of Trinidad and Tobago to the idea of federation, and its relationship to the federation itself.
