 The Land of Home Rule
But it was still open to the Duke's successor to maintain that his parents had been forced into an unjust bargain, and that the compensation paid was inadequate to the value of the revenue sold.
At the close of 1791 a commission was accordingly appointed and instructed to proceed to the Island and examine the allegations of the Duke, inquiring at the same time into the constitution and circumstances of the Island.
The Duke's family could hardly have received any compensation for the customs revenue in 1765, except on the assumption that taxes imposed on the Island were his private property, and not held in trust for public purposes.

 sqwalk.com: Duke Point project to power Island
B.C. Hydro announced Wednesday that Duke Point Power Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Essential Assets, Pristine Power and a group of private investors, is the successful bidder in the call for proposals to provide Vancouver Island with a new source of electricity.
The Duke Point Project, a 252 megawatt, gas-fired power plant to be built at Duke Point in Nanaimo at a cost of $280 million, replaces the supposedly dead-and-buried VIGP -- a 265-megawatt plant Hydro intended to build on the same site at a cost of $370 million.
The announcement that Duke Point Power was the successful bidder prompted accusations from furious Gold River residents that the tender process was skewed in favour of the company, because of the investment Hydro had already made on the Duke Point site.

 Quaterra Resources Inc. - Duke Island Results Confirm Potential; Second Phase Planned to Commence in March
The drill results continue to confirm that the Duke Island ultramafic complex is a large strongly mineralized, magmatic system.
Comparison of the geology and mineralization at Duke Island with other known Cu-Ni-PGE deposits suggests it is similar to several ultramafic-hosted occurrences in China, including the world class Jinchuan deposit (500 million tonnes grading 1.2% Ni and 0.7% Cu).
Given the close correlation between surface/drill geochemistry and three dimensional limits of mineralization derived from IP surveys, the company is planning to conduct additional surface and airborne geophysical surveys prior to conducting additional drilling on the project.

 News Tip: Duke Scientists See 'Madagascar' The Movie as Highlighting Island's Endangered Ecology, Lemur Mysteries
The undisturbed forests that many of the island nation’s species need to survive are being burned for charcoal or cleared for subsistence farming by islanders driven by extreme poverty.
About 85 percent of the country’s plants and animals are endemic to the island – you won’t find them in the wild anywhere else in the world, he notes.
The island’s unique wildlife, its tropical beaches and its current pro-environment government make it a good candidate to be one of the next hot eco-tourism destinations, Dollar believes, despite its rudimentary infrastructure and isolated geographic location off the east coast of Africa.

 Structural correction of paleomagnetic vectors dispersed about two fold axes and application to the Duke Island ...
It is possible, however, to estimate paleohorizontal for the Duke Island ultramafic complex because the postremanence deformation of the intrusion occurred about two well-defined and spatially separate fold axes.
Interpreted this way, the tectonically rotated remanence of the Duke Island ultramafic complex defines a mid-Cretaceous (i.e., ancient) field direction that is within 2° of the paleomagnetic direction found by assuming the cumulate layering was initially horizontal (despite the paleomagnetic evidence to the contrary) and performing the standard structure correction.
The inferred mid-Cretaceous paleolatitude of Duke Island is 21.2° (2350 km) anomalous with respect to cratonic North America.

By the time Island belatedly followed suit and issued their own version of the Trojan label in the summer of '67, Duke Reid was firmly established as Jamaica's leading protagonist of the Rocksteady sound.
Indeed, Island's first Duke Reid showcase label, launched earlier that year also bore the 'Treasure Isle' name, but with the producer riding the crest of a wave, a second label for his works was deemed necessary to ensure almost everything he issued saw release in the UK.
Almost a year after the launch of Island's Trojan, a new imprint bearing the name rose from its ashes - a label that although Jamaican music-based was far different to its earlier incarnation.
