  • (GWI) United Nation Repre- Sentative Report 2019
    Graduate Women International (GWI) United Nation Repre- sentative Report 2019 High Level Panel on “Futures of Education” during the 74th Session of the Gen- eral Assembly of the United Nations (UN) Organized by United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Portugal New York, 25 September 2019 Attended by GWI UN representatives Sophie Zaretsky, Maryella Hannum and Maureen Byrne Inequalities, violence and exclusion are bringing many societies to a point of crisis. The fragility of our planet and its ecosystems is becoming more and more apparent. Advances in digital communication, artificial intelligence and biotechnology have great potential for moving humanity forward. In re- sponse, the UNESCO launched the “Futures of Education” project in the attempt to generate debate on how education needs to be re-thought. Hereby, UNESCO is establishing a High-Level International Commission of eminent thought leaders of diverse expertise and perspectives from the world of poli- tics, academia, the arts, science and business. Through a consultative process involving governments, policymakers, civil society, youth, educators and other stakeholders the International Commission will prepare a report for 2021 that will provide an agenda for policy debate and resulting action. Although the primary Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) addressed is SDG 4 on achieving inclusive access to quality education for all, this project intersects with all other SDGs as well. Present at the panel were among others Audrey Azoulay, Head of UNESCO; Antonio Guterres, UN Sec- retary General; Ms. Sahle-Work Zewde, President of Ethiopia and Chair of the International Commis- sion on the Futures of Education; Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, President of Portugal as well as several heads of state, educators, civil society and private sector representatives.

  • A Timeline of Anglo-Portuguese Relations (From the 12Th Century to Date)
    A Timeline of Anglo-Portuguese relations (from the 12th Century to date) With grateful thanks to Dr. Paulo Lowndes Marques O.B.E. (1941-2010), who produced this research in the last year of his life. He was a longstanding Chairman of The British Historical Society of Portugal for 25 years. English Crusaders who had embarked at Dartmouth on their way to what was later known as the 2nd Crusade, were persuaded by the Bishop of Oporto to help the young 1147 Portuguese King D. Afonso Henriques in the conquest of Lisbon from the Moors. The only extensive account of the siege and conquest is a letter by an English priest, Fr. Osbern. The first bishop of Lisbon was Gilbert of Hastings. The Basilica of Mártires in the Chiado area of Lisbon is dedicated to the English Crusaders who fell during the siege. The 1147 English Sarum rite for the liturgy of the Mass was introduced, which continued until 1536. Gilbert of Hastings died in 1166. He was buried in the Cathedral, but his tomb is now lost. English Crusaders joined in the siege of Silves and fought 1189 "with the utmost ferocity". 1217 English Crusaders helped with the conquest of Alcácer do Sal. 15 The Treaty of Tagilde, signed near Braga, between D. 1372 Fernando of Portugal and Edward III, regarding the latter’s son, John of Gaunt, ambitions to become King of Castille. A Treaty between Portugal and England was signed in St. Paul’s Cathedral by D. Fernando, last of the Burgundy dynasty, King of Portugal, and Edward III, King of England.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2018 Remarks Prior to a Meeting With President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa of Portugal and an Exchange With Reporters June 27, 2018 President Trump. Thank you very much. It's a great honor to have the President—and highly respected, I must say—President of Portugal with us. We have a tremendous relationship with Portugal for a long time, and I would say it's never been better than it is right now. So I just want to welcome you and your delegation. It is a country of great beauty and great people. And so thank you. Resignation of Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy And if you don't mind, I'll just make a quick statement of a man I also have great respect for, Justice Anthony; you know who I'm talking about. Justice Kennedy will be retiring. And he is a man that I've known for a long time and a man that I've respected for a long time. He's been a great Justice of the Supreme Court. He is a man who is displaying great vision. He's displayed tremendous vision and tremendous heart. And he will be missed, but he will be retiring. And we will begin our search for a new justice of the United States Supreme Court. That will begin immediately. And hopefully, we're going to pick somebody who will be as outstanding. So I just want thank Justice Kennedy for the years of tremendous service. He's a very spectacular man, really, a spectacular man.
