  • The Rt Hon Douglas Hurd CBE MP LONDON 15 March 1994 Sir VISIT
    The Rt Hon Douglas Hurd CBE MP LONDON 15 March 1994 Sir VISIT OF HM THE QUEEN AND HRH THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH TO THE CAYMAN ISLANDS 1.1 have the honour to report that Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh paid a most successful visit to the Cayman Islands from 26-27 February 1994. 2. The visit came eleven years almost to the day since their first visit to the territory. That visit is still remembered by the Cayman Islanders and this second visit will undoubtedly remain in their memories for as long. It was a most happy occasion; the programme went like clockwork and it was clear that both The Queen and The Duke enjoyed visiting one of the remaining Dependent Territories where everything works and where they were truly welcome. 3. I estimate that there were more than 3000 people gathered on the main street overlooking George Town harbour to welcome the Royal couple when they landed by barge from the Royal Yacht Britannia which had sailed into view shortly after 8 a m on Saturday 26 February escorted by the frigate HMS Lancaster. After the usual formalities and presentations the motorcade proceeded to the Legislative Assembly, The Queen and The Duke riding in the Rolls Royce which was purchased by the Cayman Islands Government for this occasion subsequently to become the Governor's official car. After inspecting a Guard of Honour drawn up by the Royal Cayman Islands Police, the Royal Party entered the Assembly where Her Majesty read the Speech from the Throne All members of the Legislative Assembly and their spouses were presented in the Speaker's Room and we then proceeded to what I consider to be the highlight of the visit: a public investiture on the steps of the Assembly when Cayman's first knight, Sir Vassel Johnson, Kt„ CBE, was formally dubbed in front of a large crowd.

No official account of her long public life, from 1914 to 1965, has been written and published since 1922, when the princess was aged twenty-five, and about to be married. The only daughter of King George V, she was one of the chief protagonists in his plans to include his children in his efforts to engage the monarchy, and the royal family, more deeply and closely with the people of the United Kingdom. This was a time when women were striving to enter public life more fully, a role hitherto denied to them. The king’s decision was largely prompted by the sacrifices of so many during the First World War; the fall of Czar Nicholas of Russia; the growth of socialism; and the dangers these events may present to the longevity of the monarchy in a disaffected kingdom. Princess Mary’s public life helps to answer the question of what role royal women, then and in the future, are able to play in support of the monarchy. It was a time when for the most part careers of any kind were not open to women, royal or otherwise, and the majority had yet to gain the right to vote.

Mr Dundas, thank you very much for agreeing to take part in this Commonwealth Oral Histories project. CD: It’s a pleasure. SO: I wonder, please, if you could begin by reflecting on my request to add additional information and detail to your autobiography, My Wonderful World of Elections [Bloomington: AuthorHouse, 2011]. CD: Yes, indeed. I tried to look a little bit behind the scenes by relating some of the more interesting incidents that occurred during my stay at the Commonwealth Secretariat. I did a lot of diplomatic and quasi-diplomatic missions on behalf of two Secretaries General – Sir Sonny Ramphal and Chief Emeka Anyaoku. One of the areas that I was asked to assist the Secretary General with was, for instance, Grenada. I was the Secretariat’s liaison person, as it were, between the various authorities in Grenada after the incident and the Secretariat, and I might have mentioned, for instance, my search for someone to head the interim government. SO: You did, Sir. You make express reference to that in your autobiography. CD: Yes. Alister McIntyre: I went to Geneva to see him, and the funny thing about it is [that] by the time I went to New Delhi, where the heads were meeting, I was told that Mac couldn’t fill the post because he was ill.

  • Order of Service for the Commonwealth Service 2020
    The Commonwealth Service A Celebration of the Commonwealth Monday, 9th March 2020, 3.00 pm Commonwealth Day Message 2020 On Commonwealth occasions, it is always inspiring to be reminded of the diversity of the people and countries that make up our worldwide family. We are made aware of the many associations and influences that combine through Commonwealth connection, helping us to imagine and deliver a common future. This is particularly striking when we see people from nations, large and small, gathering for the Commonwealth Games, for meetings of Commonwealth governments, and on Commonwealth Day. Such a blend of traditions serves to make us stronger, individually and collectively, by providing the ingredients needed for social, political and economic resilience. Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to see and hear how membership of the Commonwealth family means so much to those living in all parts of the world, often in places that are quite remote. Advances in technology and modern media have now enabled many more people to witness and enjoy - with remarkable immediacy - this experience of Commonwealth connection, in areas such as education, medicine and conservation. Looking to the future, this connectivity means we are also aware, perhaps as never before, that wherever we live, our choices and actions affect the well-being of people and communities living far away, and in very different circumstances. For many, this awareness awakens a desire to employ our planet’s natural resources with greater care, and it is encouraging to see how the countries of the Commonwealth continue to devise new ways of working together to achieve prosperity, whilst protecting our planet.

Guyana Guyana Cultural Association of New York Inc. on-line Magazine LETTER FROM THE GUEST EDITOR: PERCY HAYNES his time, it was extraordinarily special. It was simply magnificent and beyond being described with mere words – the pomp and the pageantry, the ascendance of the Golden Arrowhead on the flag-pole, the spectacular fireworks at the newly created 2 TDurban Park. The performance by the military in its magnificent regalia and splendor reminds us of the need to defend our dear land in light of the continuous threat to our sacred borders. Thousands of Guyanese at home from foreign lands for this histori c occa- sion, as well as their compatriots stranded abroad witnessing the event through live streaming, stood tall with pride engendered by the collective love of the homeland set aglow in their hearts. Looking back over the 50 years of our journey, we can justifiably take pride in what we have achieved. A small developing nation with no mighty army and with few gold bars in the treasury, we have charted a proud place among the nations of the world. Since we achieved our inde- pendence on May 26, 1966, our diplomats have played a leading role in the dismantling of the evil system of apartheid in South Africa, and in the liberation of other countries in Southern Africa. We also strengthened our role in world affairs by joining the Non-Aligned Movement, the group of countries committed to striving for the attainment of a just world order including political freedom, as well as econo mic and social justice for all of the people in the world.

The Commission was launched on Saturday 2nd March, 2013 at the University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, and has now completed its deliberations. During its tenure, it held seventeen public consultations and two private consultations, and received various forms of correspondence in either hard copy or electronic format. One member, Mr. Justice Sebastian Ventour, resigned in July 2013, consequent upon his appointment to the Integrity Commission. This Report has been subject to open and frank discussion among members of the Commission and the legal team that supported the Commission.

Agradecimentos Agradeço à Professora Iolanda Ramos e à Professora Susana Valdez toda a atenção, carinho e disponibilidade durante este processo. A sua ajuda e a sua sabedoria foram imprescindíveis. Agradeço a todos os colaboradores do Público que se cruzaram comigo durante o estágio. À Dra. Ana Ferreira Gomes, aos colegas de secção, aos outros estagiários e, em particular, à Clara e à Isabel que me receberam tão bem. Agradeço à colega de mestrado, agora amiga, Sofia, pelo seu ombro amigo. Agradeço à minha família, que sempre me deu liberdade para escolher aquilo que quero ser. E, por último, agradeço ao meu namorado por ter aturado o mau feitio. O TEXTO JORNALÍSTICO DE CARIZ POLÍTICO: IMPLICITAÇÃO E EXPLICITAÇÃO EM TRADUÇÃO E EDIÇÃO ANA SILVA RESUMO A relação da tradução com o jornalismo apenas recentemente começou a despertar o interesse dos Estudos de Tradução. Numa redação, a tradução é vista como um meio e não um fim e é realizada por jornalistas. A ausência de tradutores nas redações e a relutância dos jornalistas em identificarem-se como tradutores dificultam o estudo desta área. Tendo como base o estágio curricular no jornal diário Público, o presente relatório tem como objetivo demonstrar a utilização da explicitação e implicitação como estratégias de tradução para tradutores e jornalistas, dentro do contexto da tradução jornalística de cariz político de inglês para português, de textos do jornal The Washington Post e da agência Reuters.
