Eye T 4 All is a project aimed at introducing blind people who do not currently have access to computers to the benefits of gaining access to the written word via information technology. It is hoped that the profile of the launch, followed by awareness sessions to be held around the U.K. will highlight the advantages that affordable technology can make in accessing information that may otherwise be difficult to reach. Although computers have long been recognised as a useful tool, they have often been perceived as unaffordable and information has tended to focus on the more expensive options. New developments mean this isn’t always the case but getting accurate information out to the public about accessing these channels is difficult. It is believed that only around one in nine people with sight problems currently have access to a computer compared to fifty eight per cent of sighted people. ~#~#~#~ For further information, review copies, interviews and images contact Pat Tynan Media Phone +44 (0) 1895 636935 Mobile 07985 400297 [email protected] Pat Tynan Media PO Box 785 Ickenham Uxbridge Middlesex England UB10 8WQ Office: +44 (0) 1895 636935 Mobile 07985 400297 [email protected] Page 2 Distributed via Press Release Wire (https://pressreleases.responsesource.com/) on behalf of Pat Tynan Media Copyright © 1999-2021 ResponseSource, The Johnson Building, 79 Hatton Garden, London, EC1N 8AW, UK e: [email protected] t: 020 3426 4051 f: 0345 370 7776 w: https://www.responsesource.com.

    CHAPTER 8 THE BATTLE OF BARDI A U RING the 2nd January General Mackay visited each of the six attack- D ing battalions . Outwardly he was the most calm among the leaders, yet it was probably only he and the other soldiers in the division who ha d taken part in setpiece attacks in France in the previous war who realise d to the full the mishaps that could befall a night attack on a narrow fron t unless it was carried out with clock-like precision and unfailing dash . The younger leaders were excited, but determined that in their first battle the y should not fail . To one of them it was like "the feeling before an exam" . Afterwards their letters and comments revealed how sharply consciou s many of them were that this was the test of their equality with "the old A.I.F." in which their fathers had served, and which, for them, was the sole founder of Australian military tradition. "Tonight is the night," wrote the diarist of the 16th Brigade . `By this time tomorrow (1700 hrs) the fate of Bardia should be sealed. Everyone is happy, expectant, eager . Old timers say the spirit is the same as in th e last war. Each truck-load was singing as we drove to the assembly point i n the moonlight . All ranks carried a rum issue against the bleak morning . At 1930 hrs we passed the `I' tanks, against the sky-line like a fleet o f battle-cruisers, pennants flying .

    English Translations of Daniel Owen 1888–2010: Nation, Canon and Welsh-English Cultural Relations Adam Pearce Bangor University A thesis submitted to Bangor University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Summary In this thesis, I analyse four English translations of the novels of Victorian Welsh- language novelist Daniel Owen from a variety of postcolonial and Translation Studies perspectives. Drawing on recent theories in Translations Studies and Welsh cultural studies, I suggest that translations of Owen’s work have been undertaken as part of a variety of political and cultural agendas. These often interrelated agendas have included attempts to reinvent the idea of the Welsh nation, attempts to reinforce and/or rehabilitate the reputation of Daniel Owen as a canonical author in the Welsh-language literary canon, and attempts to either inspire the tradition of Welsh Writing in English, or to distance that practice from Welsh-English translation. In presenting these arguments, I suggest that the role of Welsh-English translation in Welsh cultural history over the late nineteenth to twenty-first centuries has been underappreciated, and that it has in fact been central to processes of cultural and national re-imagination in Wales over this period. 2 Contents Note to the reader 5 Acknowledgements 6 Declaration and Consent 8 Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Opening statements, research questions 12 1.2 Critical debates in Welsh-English translation 18 1.3 Translation and (post)colonial discourse in Wales 31 1.4 Translation and the Welsh-language

Inspired by these nuances, Dotty titled her latest show “Seasons.” She produced 20 paintings over the last year for her exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art in California during November 2011. Dotty, a plein air painter who works in pastel, watercolor, and oil says, “The seasons here have intrigued me. I love being outside and creating from what I see.” To get a sense for what the light is doing, Dotty sets up her easel on location. She paints for several hours, also photographing the scene as the light shifts so she can refer to the photos later. Drawn to celebrate the Creator of all things in her work, Dotty says, “The beauty and complexity of created forms, the interaction of light, shadow, and atmosphere, the subtleties of color—these are all evidence of the One who creates and loves us. It is a privilege to be an artist and to closely observe these gifts.” Dotty is a fifth generation Wheaton graduate who never questioned her desire to be an artist. She grew up in Wheaton, but Dotty and her husband, Jim ’65, moved to California when their three children were young.
