The Royal Corps of Signals wireTHE April 2003 The Royal Corps of Signals T H E WIRE, APRIL 2003 1 THE VISIT OF THE COLONEL-IN-CHIEF TO MULTI-NATIONAL BRIGADE HEADQUARTERS AND SIGNAL SQUADRON (228) 4 - 5 FEBRUARY 2003 - by WO1 (RSM) Carter Following a rather exciting arrival at the VIP area of Pristina airport (courtesy of some very enthusiastic Russian and Italian offrs and soldiers) Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal was whisked away for a visit to the RLC (of whom she is also Colonel-in-Chief). The Multi-National Military Police (MNMP), manned all the junctions and vulnerable points, and the Royal cavalcade swept smoothly along the roads. After the visit to the CSS Sqn, Her Royal Highness was taken to Slim Lines to retire in the Royal accommodation for an hour or so. For those of you who have been to Slim Lines, Block E has never looked so splendid, with the QM, Maj Fred Payet, the RQMS(A), WO2 (RQMS) Sam Parke and the SQMS, SSgt (SQMS) Pete Mullen pulling all the tricks in the book to produce accommodation truly fit for a Princess. Of course security was at the top the priority list, and a complex security plan to keep the Princess safe was designed by WO2 (MTWO) Trev Croxon and SSgt Alex Alexander-High, and led by Cpl Jamie Slade. The Princess Royal was then invited to a reception in the Maj Paterson presents Her Royal Highness to the Sqn Comd team. L-R: combined Offrs and SNCOs Mess at Multi-National Brigade Maj Payet, Capt Corkery, Lt Barker, Lt Bermingham (14 Sig Regt), (Centre) (MNB(C)), Slim Lines. The Bde Comd, Brig JS Shaw WO2 (RQMS) Gillies, WO2 (YofS) Meehan, WO2 (FofS) Clifford (late Para) was presented to her before introducing Senior Offrs, Offrs, WOs and SNCOs serving in theatre. Her Royal Highness then attended a dinner party for a select 20. Following all the intense activity of the preceding 22 hours, Her Royal Highness finally arrived for her visit to the Bde Sig Sqn just before 1100 hours on Tuesday 04 February 03. She was greeted by the OC, and the 2IC and RSM were presented, before she was invited to be photographed with the Sqn. The gods were certainly smiling on us at this point. All the poor weather from earlier that morning had disappeared and the picture was taken under clear blue skies. It was then over to the Bde Conference Room to meet the Sqn Offrs and WOs and to be briefed by the OC. The briefing included recent and future Sqn activities and events, such as the handover to the Finnish Command, 6-8 weeks on SPTA re- learning the armour, conversion to Bowman and the move to Bulford in early 2004. Her Royal Highness was then shown to System Control were she met the crew and was briefed by WO2 (YofS) Paul Meehan on the complexities of the handover to the Finnish Comms Coy. She was Her Royal Highness meets some of the SMART team after their rigging demonstration then escorted to the aerial tower by WO2 (FofS) Rob Clifford, where she watched a demonstration of rigging techniques by LCpl Phil Brewster and Sig Pippa Lavenu. Whilst listening and looking at equipment used by our installation techs, the Princess demonstrated her very current and informed knowledge of RSigs matters. Sigs Gibson and Sturdy were not the only ones to be impressed by our Colonel-in-Chief’s knowledge not only of our working practices, but also the improvements in latest technology. The work environment over, Her Royal Highness returned to the combined Offrs and SNCOs Mess. Here she was invited to sign the Sqn’s visitors’ book and present 3 of our youngest Sigs with their Kosovo Medal. The lucky recipients were Sig Roberts from 14 Sig Regt, Sig Jemma Proctor and Sig Rob Lewis. The Princess was then invited to a light lunch to meet as many of the RSigs cap-badged offrs and soldiers we could muster, including members of 14 and 32 Sig Regts. Sadly members of 21 Sig Regt could not make it, as they were still up in the hills, providing comms for the helicopter flights. The RSM then called for 3 cheers for our Colonel-in-Chief, The Princess Royal which signalled the end of the visit and time to leave for the airport. Behind the scenes the 2IC, RSM and many others were trying frantically to smooth the waters with the Russians and Italians (another story) at the airport for the return journey. But we had forgotten the grace of the Princess. With a smile, she charmed those around, ensuring a successful farewell on the Royal flight. Overall the visit was a great success, thanks to many long hours of planning and preparation and the professionalism of all those involved with the visit. Her Royal Highness awards the Kosovo Campaign medal to Sig Proctor 2 THE WIRE, APRIL 2003 The Royal Signals Magazine April 2003 Vol. 57 No: 2 All correspondence and matter Subscription rates for publication in The Wire 2003 (Bi-monthly) should be addressed to (Feb, Apr, Jun, The Head of Publications, Aug, Oct, and Dec).

The results demonstrate that, on average, a managerial sacking results in a post-announcement day market-adjusted share price rise of 0.3%, whilst a resignation leads to a drop in share price of 1% that continues for a trading month thereafter, cumulating in a negative abnormal return of over 8% from a trading day before the event.

  • Piratical Colonization: Piracy's Role in the First
    PIRATICAL COLONIZATION: PIRACY’S ROLE IN THE FIRST ENGLISH COLONIES, 1550-1600 by Austin F. Croom March, 2019 Director of Thesis: Wade G. Dudley Major Department: History This thesis analyzes the importance of piracy to the beginnings of English overseas expansion. This study will consider the piratical climate around the British Isles in the sixteenth century, and the ways in which this context affected the participants in the first English colonial projects. Piracy became inseparably associated with nearly all of the Elizabethan overseas expeditions, contributing experienced seamen to the cause and promising to fill gaps in the financial strength of the expeditions. Ultimately, piracy proved difficult to control, and sabotaged the efforts of the Elizabethan colonial promoters.
