  • Liste Des Indicatifs Téléphoniques Internationaux Par Indicatif 1 Liste Des Indicatifs Téléphoniques Internationaux Par Indicatif
    Liste des indicatifs téléphoniques internationaux par indicatif 1 Liste des indicatifs téléphoniques internationaux par indicatif Voici la liste des indicatifs téléphoniques internationaux, permettant d'utiliser les services téléphoniques dans un autre pays. La liste correspond à celle établie par l'Union internationale des télécommunications, dans sa recommandation UIT-T E.164. du 1er février 2004. Liste par pays | Liste par indicatifs Le symbole « + » devant les indicatifs symbolise la séquence d’accès vers l’international. Cette séquence change suivant le pays d’appel ou le terminal utilisé. Depuis la majorité des pays (dont la France), « + » doit être remplacé par « 00 » (qui est le préfixe recommandé). Par exemple, pour appeler en Hongrie (dont l’indicatif international est +36) depuis la France, il faut composer un Indicatifs internationaux par zone numéro du type « 0036######### ». En revanche, depuis les États-Unis, le Canada ou un pays de la zone 1 (Amérique du Nord et Caraïbes), « + » doit être composé comme « 011 ». D’autres séquences sont utilisées en Russie et dans les anciens pays de l’URSS, typiquement le « 90 ». Autrefois, la France utilisait à cette fin le « 19 ». Sur certains téléphones mobiles, il est possible d’entrer le symbole « + » directement en maintenant la touche « 0 » pressée plus longtemps au début du numéro à composer. Mais à partir d’un poste fixe, le « + » n'est pas accessible et il faut généralement taper à la main la séquence d’accès (code d’accès vers l'international) selon le pays d’où on appelle. Zone 0 La zone 0 est pour l'instant réservée à une utilisation future non encore établie.

  • 2004 Throne Speech
    CAYMAN ISLANDS GOVERNMENT 2004 THRONE SPEECH Delivered by His Excellency the Governor Mr. Bruce Dinwiddy, CMG 2 July 2004 Introduction Honourable Speaker, Honourable Members of the Legislative Assembly, it is a great honour for me to present to you my second Throne Speech, in this finely refurbished Chamber. I feel that we have come a long way since my first Throne Speech, presented in Cayman Brac nearly 16 months ago. We have successfully managed, even if not totally eliminated a tension which had arisen shortly before that time in Cayman’s relations with the United Kingdom. We have achieved this, despite the problems posed for Cayman’s financial services industry by the European Union Savings Directive and the failure to bring to a conclusion the negotiations with the United Kingdom on a new Constitution. I remain conscious that a key part of my role as Governor is to provide a bridge between George Town and London. That bridge and its supporting structures were largely designed many years ago, some would say in another age. Some changes are long overdue. And I strongly believe that is in our joint interest to continue to work for Constitutional reform, even if there are different perceptions about how far it should go. I hope that opportunity will be taken during the forthcoming election campaign to take forward debate in Cayman on this, and to ascertain more clearly what proposals the electorate would like the new government to make to London next year. Meanwhile, this occasion gives me the opportunity to pledge my continuing commitment to work with you all, with the public service, with the private sector and the wider community, to the best of my ability and within the parameters prescribed by the Constitution, for the benefit of our Islands and our people.

Knowlton and Adam C. Sales* The proportions of a flag are an integral part of a flag’s design. In some cases, the proportions are the only way to distinguish between otherwise identical flags, such as Monaco (16:21) and Indonesia (2:3).1 Bruce Nicolls notes that medieval flags were often square or even taller than they were wide, but the seventeenth century saw an increase of their widths, likely due to “the increasing use of flags at sea, where the additional length improved flying qualities and reduced the rate ALL OTHERS of fraying.”2 Today, almost all flags are rectangular and longer than they are tall. Aside from those common traits, however, flags display a remarkable diversity of proportions, as shown in 3:5 2:3 figure 1.
