  • Caithness County Council
    Caithness County Council RECORDS’ IDENTITY STATEMENT Reference number: CC Alternative reference number: Title: Caithness County Council Dates of creation: 1720-1975 Level of description: Fonds Extent: 10 bays of shelving Format: Mainly paper RECORDS’ CONTEXT Name of creators: Caithness County Council Administrative history: 1889-1930 County Councils were established under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889. They assumed the powers of the Commissioners of Supply, and of Parochial Boards, excluding those in Burghs, under the Public Health Acts. The County Councils also assumed the powers of the County Road Trusts, and as a consequence were obliged to appoint County Road Boards. Powers of the former Police Committees of the Commissioners were transferred to Standing Joint Committees, composed of County Councillors, Commissioners and the Sheriff of the county. They acted as the police committee of the counties - the executive bodies for the administration of police. The Act thus entrusted to the new County Councils most existing local government functions outwith the burghs except the poor law, education, mental health and licensing. Each county was divided into districts administered by a District Committee of County Councillors. Funded directly by the County Councils, the District Committees were responsible for roads, housing, water supply and public health. Nucleus: The Nuclear and Caithness Archive 1 Provision was also made for the creation of Special Districts to be responsible for the provision of services including water supply, drainage, lighting and scavenging. 1930-1975 The Local Government Act (Scotland) 1929 abolished the District Committees and Parish Councils and transferred their powers and duties to the County Councils and District Councils (see CC/6).

  • Recollect the Stories of World War II. Learn About Mount Faber and Sentosa's Military Encampment, Underground
    \ `` A Media Release by My Community Embargoed until 7am on 9 May 2019 RECOLLECT THE STORIES OF WORLD WAR II THROUGH THE MILITARY ENCAMPMENT, UNDERGROUND COMPLEXES AND SECRET RESERVOIRS AT MOUNT FABER AND SENTOSA Singapore, 3 May 2019 – Mount Faber and Sentosa are known for their expansive tourist offerings including the cable car, beaches and integrated resorts (IRs), but do you know that the area was home to several key military encampments and underground complexes during World War II? At Mount Faber, a fort comprising a signal station, gun batteries and plotting room was constructed to coordinate Singapore’s various artillery batteries such as Buona Vista, Pasir Panjang, Labrador, Siloso, Serapong, Connaught and Silingsing in the event of an invasion. In Sentosa, the defunct Fort Serapong was equipped with 7-inch guns, 64 pounders and a command centre for close combat battles and guarding the island against amphibious attacks. Both the underground chambers and military complexes at Mount Faber and Fort Serapong would be officially opened to the public for the first time in the upcoming heritage tour, My Mount Faber & Sentosa Heritage Tour. 2 My Mount Faber & Sentosa Heritage Tour explores the secret reservoirs, underground chambers and military complexes constructed by the British to defend Singapore against pirates and military invasion. The guided tour weaves in interesting anecdotes from former residents at Mount Faber and military personnel stationed in Sentosa. The tour also provides an excellent opportunity for Singaporeans to discover the history and heritage of Mount Faber and Sentosa beyond its tourist-centric programmes. The tour is one of the nine guided tours developed and organised by civic organisation My Community and is supported by Sentosa Development Corporation and Anglo-Chinese School (International).

  • BICO Undergoing Restructuring Exercise
    Established October 1895 New gender policy on the horizon Page 5 Friday February 20, 2015 $2 VAT Inclusive POTENTIAL FOR MORE EXPORTS THERE are several opportunities for Barbados to boost its exports to China. Pointing out that China has a popula- tion of $1.3 billion, with a significant in- terest in other cultures, Senior Officer with the Barbados Investment Development Corporation Paula Bourne highlighted that while there has been a marked increase in trade between Barbados and China since 2007, there was still significant potential for export growth from the island. She noted for example that products such as rum and sea island cotton could be marketed and sold to the People’s Republic of China as well as music and cultural items. “While we are small and we often think that we do not have a lot to offer, China attaches great importance to economic trade and cultural relations with Barbados and the wider Caribbean. There is significant business potential that can be developed between the two countries and we need to step out and ex- plore,” she stated. Bourne stressed that private sector companies must work with facilitators in order to get samples of their products into Chinese markets. Noting that there were 2.4 million mil- lionaires in China, she pointed out that by gaining the interest of a few of these in products and services of the Caribbean could make a significant difference. In addition, she suggested that in the same way that China had trade agree- ments with various countries across the world, it is time that it also had one in place with Caricom.

This characteristic feature of "Expamet" ensures an even distribution of stress throughout the con- crete work; as all the strands or mem- bers are connected rigidly, they cannot be displaced by the laying and tamp- ing of the concrete. Moreover, the concrete within the meshes is brought into compression under loading conditions; thus the value of the reinforcement is increased and there is found a rational ex- planation of the great strength of " Expamet "-Concrete construction.
