USE OF THE TRANSCRIPT 1. This is a corrected transcript of evidence taken in public and webcast on www.parliamentlive.tv. 1 Examination of witnesses Lord Houghton of Richmond and Lord Sedwill. Q85 The Chair: This is our second session today on the UK and Afghanistan. I welcome Lord Houghton of Richmond, the former Chief of the Defence Staff, and Lord Sedwill, former Cabinet Secretary, former National Security Adviser, former ambassador to Afghanistan and former NATO senior civilian representative in Afghanistan. Lord Sedwill has the advantage of chairing the Atlantic Future Forum right now. I believe it started its sessions yesterday, and it is being held aboard the carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth. I had the opportunity to see it from land a year ago when I was in Portsmouth, and all I can say is that when they say it is big, it is big. I thank him for taking time out from that to join us. At this stage, I always make the point that the session we are having is broadcast, transcribed and on the record.

  • The President's Newsletter for May 4 - 10, 2015 Alleluia! He Is Risen
    The President's Newsletter for May 4 - 10, 2015 Alleluia! He is risen I shared the following with our faculty this week. The words are from a recent talk given by Pope Francis to a group of Italian teachers. The words could have been written by St. John Baptist de La Salle, as the Pope’s view of the role of the teacher is exactly what our Founder had in mind. I pray that Saint Paul’s remains faithful to the following words: In a society that struggles to find points of reference, it is necessary that young people find a positive reference in the school. It can do so or become so if it has within itself teachers that are capable of giving meaning to the school, to study and to culture, without reducing everything only to the transmission of technical knowledge, but aiming to build an educational relation with each one of the students, who must feel accepted and loved for who he is, with all his limitations and potentiality….You must teach not only the contents of a subject, but also the values of life and habits of life. …To learn the content, a computer is sufficient, but to understand how one loves, to understand what the values and habits are that create harmony in society, a good teacher is necessary. Mon, May 4 (Assembly; C D E F) • Star Wars Day: This is a day for Star Wars fans to celebrate the franchise's films series culture. The date was chosen as "May the 4th" due to its sounding similar to the series' phrase “May the Force be with you!” Who knew? • World Laughter Day: Have a good laugh today! Laugh at me if you want!

    Capital Campaign PO Box 278 Sharon, VT 05065 www.HighHorses.org 802-763-3280 1 High Horses adheres to the values of Teamwork, Integrity, Respect, Empathy and Joyfulness in all that we do. Our Mission Our mission is to improve the well-being of people with unique needs through a therapeutic equine experience. Equine-assisted therapy was introduced in the United States in the late 1960s. Today, High Horses Therapeutic Riding Program is one of 850 PATH*-accredited centers in the world and the only such organization in the Upper Valley Region of Vermont and New Hampshire. *Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship High Horses, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, newly located in Sharon, VT, has been providing therapeutic riding services to children and adults for almost 25 years. We are lucky to have equal participation from male and female riders. Our participants range in age from 3 to 94 years, with 2/3rds currently under the age of 18. Thanks to our Grey Horse program our population over age 55 is growing. Our participants never “age out.” As they grow into adulthood, many continue with therapeutic riding at High Horses. Our PATH-certified instructors and trained volunteers provide 51 weekly half-hour private therapeutic riding lessons and one hour group lessons for 67 riders. These lessons are individually tailored to address the participants’ current needs on that day. Our instructors take great pride in developing an appropriate lesson plan to help participants reach their goals. Our participants’ needs vary widely from physical to emotional. Our participants may be working on strengthening their bodies by improving balance, posture, and flexibility, all which can be affected by recent injury, aging, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and many other conditions.

  • The Anglo-American Military Relationship: Institutional Rules, Practices and Narratives
    The Anglo-American military relationship: institutional rules, practices and narratives WYN REES, University of Nottingham, UK LANCE DAVIES, Staffordshire University, UK Abstract This article contends that the Anglo-American military relationship is a vital yet neglected area of study. The British military have actively cultivated a relationship with the US military and its strength and durability help to account for the longevity of the broader so-called ‘Special Relationship’. The article argues that the complexities of the military relationship can best be captured by the theoretical lens provided by Lowndes and Roberts that combines different strands of institutionalism to focus on rules, practices and narratives. The intense linkages between the US and UK have become routinized, enabling them to adapt their peacetime cooperation to conflicts, and thereby address post-Cold War security challenges such as peace enforcement, counterinsurgency and post-conflict stabilisation. The article draws upon semi- structured interviews with senior military officers as well as policy documents to explore how these patterns of collaboration have become ingrained in patterns of both thinking and behaviour. The Anglo-American military relationship: institutional rules, practices and narratives Introduction Analysts are often scornful when the subject of the ‘Special Relationship’ between the US and the UK is raised, with one recent commentator describing the language as ‘vacuous’ (Mumford, 2017: 1). Many see it as the attempt by a diminishing European power to preserve the historical cooperation that existed with the US against Soviet expansionism. In the words of Dumbrell, ‘..there is no question that the Cold War’s 1 end removed much of the rationale for intimate and “special” US-UK cooperation’ (2001:2).
