  • Diamond Jubilee His Highness the Aga Khan Iv [1957 – 2017]
    DIAMOND JUBILEE HIS HIGHNESS THE AGA KHAN IV [1957 – 2017] . The Diamond Jubilee What is the Diamond Jubilee? The Diamond Jubilee marks the 60th anniversary of His Highness the Aga Khan’s leadership as the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Shia Ismaili Muslim Community. On 11th July, 1957, the Aga Khan, at the age of 20, assumed the hereditary office of Imam established by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), following the passing of his grandfather, Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah Aga Khan. Why is the Community celebrating His Highness the Aga Khan’s Diamond Jubilee? The commemoration of the Aga Khan’s Diamond Jubilee is in keeping with the Ismaili Community’s longstanding tradition of marking historic milestones. Over the past six decades, the Aga Khan has transformed the quality of life of hundreds of millions of people around the world. In the areas of health, education, cultural revitalisation, and economic empowerment, he has inspired excellence and worked to improve living conditions and opportunities in some of the world’s most remote and troubled regions. The Diamond Jubilee is an opportunity for the Shia Ismaili Muslim community, partners of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), and government and faith community leaders in over 25 countries to express their appreciation for His Highness’s leadership and commitment to improve the quality of life of the world’s most vulnerable populations. It is also an occasion for His Highness to recognise the friendship and longstanding support of leaders of governments and partners in the work of the Imamat and to set the direction for the future.

  • Diamond Jubilee of Mawlana Hazar Imam Shah Karim Al Hussaini Aga Khan IV
    II Diamond Jubilee of Mawlana Hazar Imam Shah Karim Al Hussaini Aga Khan IV Foreword This publication is a continuation of Footprints compiled at the time of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Golden Jubilee, and Memories Volume I and Memories Volume II that tracked Hazar Imam’s Golden Jubilee journey and initiatives. These publications are my humble attempt to highlight some of the immense work of the Imam, his family, and his network to improve the quality of life of millions in the poorest parts of the world, providing hope for a better life: “The right to hope” said Mawlana Hazar Imam “is the most powerful human motivation I know.” (Brown University, 1996). Imam also said “Instability is infectious! But so is hope!” (Gatineau, 2004). This publication is divided into two sections. The first section notes the work of Mawlana Hazar Imam. The second section highlights the work of Imam’s family to enhance the initiatives of the AKDN, founded by Hazar Imam to enact the ethics of Islam. May this publication serve as a basis of reflection and discussion within your family and friendship circles, today and for many years in the future. Diamond Jubilee Mubarak. Nimira Dewji July 11, 2017 [email protected] Note: links accessed July 2017 1 Reflection “My grandfather often reminded you that we are living in the atomic age. But what in fact do we mean when we say this?...The most significant thing about the atomic age is the new and unbounded sources of energy which are released for the use of mankind…I shall devote my life to guiding the community in all the problems which these rapid changes will bring in their wake.

  • Order of Service for the Commonwealth Service 2020
    The Commonwealth Service A Celebration of the Commonwealth Monday, 9th March 2020, 3.00 pm Commonwealth Day Message 2020 On Commonwealth occasions, it is always inspiring to be reminded of the diversity of the people and countries that make up our worldwide family. We are made aware of the many associations and influences that combine through Commonwealth connection, helping us to imagine and deliver a common future. This is particularly striking when we see people from nations, large and small, gathering for the Commonwealth Games, for meetings of Commonwealth governments, and on Commonwealth Day. Such a blend of traditions serves to make us stronger, individually and collectively, by providing the ingredients needed for social, political and economic resilience. Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to see and hear how membership of the Commonwealth family means so much to those living in all parts of the world, often in places that are quite remote. Advances in technology and modern media have now enabled many more people to witness and enjoy - with remarkable immediacy - this experience of Commonwealth connection, in areas such as education, medicine and conservation. Looking to the future, this connectivity means we are also aware, perhaps as never before, that wherever we live, our choices and actions affect the well-being of people and communities living far away, and in very different circumstances. For many, this awareness awakens a desire to employ our planet’s natural resources with greater care, and it is encouraging to see how the countries of the Commonwealth continue to devise new ways of working together to achieve prosperity, whilst protecting our planet.

  • SELF-DIRECTED GUIDE BOOK ENGLISH Welcome to the British Columbia Parliament Buildings
    SELF-DIRECTED GUIDE BOOK ENGLISH Welcome to the British Columbia Parliament Buildings. In this booklet you will find an overview that describes the architectural and historical significance of these working buildings that are home to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. The information is laid out to assist you in a self-guided tour of the buildings. The Parliament Buildings and surrounding areas are located in the traditional territories of the Lekwungen (pronounced Le-KWUNG-en) people. Now known as the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, these Coast Salish people have a rich culture and history dating back thousands of years. We hope that you will enjoy your visit. 2 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY SELF-DIRECTED GUIDE BOOK THE BIRDCAGES Construction of the first legislative buildings on this site, known as the “Birdcages,” began in 1859 and was completed in 1864. These buildings were described in the press of the time as “a mixed style of architecture, the latest fashion for Chinese pagoda, Swiss-cottage and Italian-villa fancy birdcages.” The Birdcages continued to serve as the capital buildings after British Columbia became a province in 1871. By the early 1890s, they were no longer large enough to serve the growing population’s needs. In 1892 an architectural contest was held to select a design for new Parliament Buildings. Of 65 sets of drawings submitted by competitors from across North America, those of 25-year old architect, Francis Mawson Rattenbury, were selected. This project was his first major commission and, following its successful completion, he went on to design several more landmark structures in British Columbia.

  • QUEEN VICTORIA's DIAMOND JUBILEE BRITISH CINEMATOGRAPHE (British Cinematographe / Joly-Normandin)
    Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Luke McKernan © 2012 QUEEN VICTORIA’S DIAMOND JUBILEE Luke McKernan This is the text of a multimedia entertainment devoted to the Diamond Jubilee procession of Queen Victoria, which took place in London, 22 June 1897. The show recreates the procession by following its route around London, interspersing the narrative with eye-witness testimony, photographs, and films taken from each location. In performance the show has a narrator, two actors (for the male and female parts) and a pianist. The show was put on at various locations between 1997 and 2012, and the text is being made available for reference purposes. Links to copies of the films now available online are given at the end. All frame stills come from films held by the BFI National Archive. 1 Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Luke McKernan © 2012 QUEEN VICTORIA’S DIAMOND JUBILEE This evening’s entertainment commemorates, in film, photography, prose and rhyme, the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Victoria, held one hundred and fifteen years ago on the 22nd of June 1897. Chiefly we are telling the story through the efforts of the filmmakers of 1897, representatives of a then new and soon to be globally important industry. Unless you are a historian of early film, as I try to be, you probably will not understand the great irritation felt when I read this passage from a biography of Queen Victoria, which describes the filming of the Diamond Jubilee: One of the earliest films ever made of a public occasion recorded part of the service. The Queen described it as "Very wonderful", but "a little hazy and too rapid".
