title: Kaliwa Low Dam

text:
The Kaliwa Low Dam, proposed by the Philippine Government in 2012, was one of several bulk water supply projects on the upper portion of the Kaliwa River Watershed that have been proposed but ultimately shelved by the Philippine Government since the 1970s.

The proposed Kaliwa Low Dam design had a 600 million-liters-a-day (MLD) capacity, and the water supply tunnel has a 2,400-MLD capacity. Had it been built, the Kaliwa Low Dam was expected to ease the demand on the Angat Dam, Manila's sole water storage facility. It was the main component of the New Centennial Water Source-Kaliwa Dam Project in Tanay, Rizal, which also called for the construction of a water supply tunnel and various attendant infrastructure.

The project had originally been proposed as a bigger, integrated system that included a plan for a second dam, named Laiban dam further upstream. But the government decided on a proposal that would have built the system in stages, and only stage one, involving Kaliwa Low Dam and the water supply tunnel, was approved under the administration of Benigno Aquino III.  When the project did not move forward by the time Aquino administration ended, the succeeding Duterte administration decided not to pursue the Japanese-proposed Kaliwa Low Dam plan and instead pursued a bigger, China-funded dam project.

Earlier projects at the Laiban Watershed
Various plans for the construction of a dam in Tanay, Rizal, have been proposed since the 1970s, when the Marcos government first decided that the location was a more viable location for a dam than the Marikina River. However, protests against the construction of the dam, called Laiban because Barangay Laiban was chosen as the exact project site, very quickly led to protests from various groups. Foremost among these were indigenous peoples from Central and Southern Luzon, notably the local Remontado Dumagat people, whose ancestral lands would specifically be affected. Environmental and activist groups later also raised concerns. As a result, construction of the dam has been approved, deferred, stopped, and restarted a number of times in the decades since.

Project approval process

Original proposal, including Laiban Dam and Power Plant
The roots of the current "New Centennial Water Source Project" can be traced to the Water Security Legacy (WSL) Roadmap proposed by the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) in 2012–2016.  Based on this document, the MWSS developed plans for "the development of a dam at the Kaliwa River (Laiban Dam), and/or a smaller dam downstream (Kaliwa Low Dam) to maximize water supply, ensure short - and long - term redundancy, and optimize power generation capacities," and in February 2013, the Public Private Partnership Center released a document "sounding out" interested parties.

In that initial market sounding, this proposal was already thought likely to comprise:
) Laiban Dam and/or Kaliwa Low Dam;
) Head works and its appurtenant facilities;
) Conveyance structure from the diversion point to the water treatment facility(s);
) Water treatment facility(s); and
) Hydropower facility(s).

In report by Philippine Daily Inquirer reporter Niña Calleja in that same month, MWSS senior deputy administrator Nathaniel Santos indicated that the main difference of the NCWSP from previous plans was that it would involve the construction of two smaller dams at the Kaliwa watershed instead of just the one. A main dam (Laiban Dam) would be built at the upper Kaliwa River in Barangay Laiban, and another regulating dam (Kaliwa Low Dam) further downstream.

When the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Investment Coordination Committee (ICC) had their October 4, 2013 Joint Cabinet Committee and Technical Board Meeting, however, they suggested that the MWSS to develop the project in stages, allowing for construction on the Kaliwa Low Dam to begin sooner, and for the Laiban Dam components of the project to be funded under a different financial mechanism.

Project financing
The original integrated project had been proposed by the MWSS under a build-operate-transfer (BOT) financing scheme.  When the Joint Cabinet Committee and Technical Board Meeting of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Investment Coordination Committee (ICC) discussed the project on 4 October 2013, however, they recommended that the MWSS resubmit its proposal with only the Kaliwa Low Dam and water supply tunnel components, and that it be funded using the MWSS' funds or though overseas development assistance.

Approval of Kaliwa Low Dam proposal
The project, with its revised scope, was approved at the May 29, 2014, meeting of the NEDA Board, which is chaired by President Benigno Aquino III.

On July 28, 2014, President Aquino cited Kaliwa dam in his 5th State of the Nation Address as one of the infrastructure projects approved by his administration as part of its drought prevention efforts.

In 2015, two consortia were pre-qualified to bid for the undertaking of the Kaliwa Dam project — the SMC-K Water Consortium, which is a partnership between San Miguel Holdings Corp. and Korea Water Resources Corp.; and the Abeima-Datem Consortium, which is a partnership between Albeinsa Infraestructura Medio Ambiento S.A and Datem Inc.

Government shift to Chinese proposal
In 2019, under the administration of President Rodrigo Duterte, the government revealed that it would not continue with the project under a public–private partnership agreement as proposed during the Aquino administration, but would instead pursue the project using Official Development Assistance loan from China.

Some lawyers noted that the interest rate of the Chinese deal was 2%, while the Japanese deal that was sidelined by the government only had a 1.25% interest. The Japanese have since renewed their call for the Philippine government to reconsider their proposal.

Social and environmental concerns

Social issues
Ancestral lands belonging to indigenous Dumagats and Remontados will be affected by the Kaliwa Dam project. The coalition Sectors Opposed to the Kaliwa Dam (STOP Kaliwa Dam) estimate that 1,000 households from Barangay Daraitan in Tanay, Rizal, and 500 households in Pagsangahan, General Nakar, Quezon, will be inundated by the construction. The Samahan ng mga Katutubong Agta/Dumagat (Organization of Indigenous Agta/Dumagat) estimate that the project would displace 10,000 members of the Dumagat tribe. Protesters have maintained that indigenous communities that will be affected by the project were not consulted. Philippine law requires that such projects acquire free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) from indigenous communities.

Environmental issues
Sierra Madre is one of the most biodiverse areas in the Philippines and the largest remaining rainforest in the country. An estimated 12,147 hectares of residual forests, home to 172 recorded plant or flora species will be affected by the dam construction.

The project site is part of the Kaliwa Watershed Forest Reserve, which is supposedly protected by virtue of Proclamation No. 573 on June 22, 1968. Proclamation 1636 declared a portion of the area a National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary.

Environmental groups have protested the project, as the dam will destroy a great portion of the Sierra Madre range. The dam will ultimately destroy numerous habitats of many endangered species living in the mountains once construction begins. Among the thousands of plant and animal life whose home will be destroyed by the project is the critically endangered Philippine eagle. Other species that will be affected by the project are the endangered north Philippine hawk-eagle, the Philippine brown deer, the Philippine warty pig, and the vulnerable northern rufous hornbill.

title: George Buist (journalist)

text:
George Buist FRSE FRS FRSSA FGS LL.D. (1805–1860) was a Scottish journalist and scientist. He was the editor of The Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce which his successor Robert Knight renamed The Times of India. He is described "as India's foremost man of letters".

Early life

He was the son of the Rev. John Buist, born at Tannadice, Forfarshire, on 22 November 1805. His paternal uncle was Rev George Buist, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1848.

After studying at St. Salvator's College, St. Andrews, at St. Mary's College, and Edinburgh University, he was licensed in 1826 as a preacher. He preached irregularly for six years, delivered a course of lectures on natural philosophy at St. Andrews town hall in 1832.

Journalist
In 1832, also, Buist became editor of the Dundee Courier (later the Constitutional). He left it in 1834, and set up the Dundee Guardian on his own account, and also the Scottish Agricultural Magazine. He was invited to edit the Perth Constitutional in 1835. After a visit to London in 1837, and two years' management of the Fifeshire Journal, he accepted in 1839 the post of editor of the Bombay Times. He took over after the J.E. Brennan died just a year after it was started in 1938 and then Bombay Times was a biweekly. It became a daily in 1850 under him.

Buist was at the Bombay Times for 20 years. He used its columns to argue against retaliation after the Afghan uprising of 1842. After the loss of his first wife in 1845, he went back to the United Kingdom for a few months, and over the period 1845–6 became a Fellow of the Royal Society, and was admitted to six other learned societies.

In January 1846 Buist was back again at the Bombay Times, where he continued as editor. He went on leave to the United Kingdom again in 1856, leaving Robert Knight in charge as acting editor. He returned took charge of the Bombay Times, but a Parsi shareholder Fardoonji Naoroji wanted him to change his pro establishment editorial policy particularly in background of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. However, Buist refused to change his editorial policy or give up his editorial independence. After a shareholder's meeting he was replaced by Robert Knight.

Last years
From January 1858 Buist ran the Bombay Standard which was merged into The Bombay Times

In 1859 Buist retired from journalism to take up a government appointment at Allahabad. He died at sea, en route to Calcutta on 1 October 1860.

Interests
Buist became unpaid inspector of the observatories of Bombay. During his time in England in 1845 he obtained special grants from the government for improving agricultural machines and rural economy in India, and for establishing 12 observatories, from Cape Comorin to the Red Sea, for meteorological and tidal research. He also formed the geological collection for the museum of Elphinstone College, Bombay.

In 1846 Buist was appointed to the honorary position of sheriff of Bombay. In 1847 he planned, and in 1850 founded, the Bombay Reformatory School of Industry for the reformation and education of Indian children, of which he was superintendent, under the patronage of the governor, Lord Elphinstone.

Works
In 1837 Buist was awarded a prize by the Highland Society of Scotland for a paper Geology of the South-eastern portion of Perthshire. He contributed scientific papers to the Journal of the Bombay branch of the Asiatic Society, and before leaving Scotland had written, for the Highland Society, some further topographical and geological articles on Perthshire and Fife.

Buist drew up the Bombay Observatory Report for 1844, which contained records of 170,000 observations. He also compiled an Index to Books and Papers on the Physical Geography, Antiquities, and Statistics of India (Bombay, 1852). Other works include:-

title: Nagabanda

text:
Nagabanda (derived from Sanskrit which means the rope snake) is a snake that is used as an attribute in the hands of a giant statue of double weapons. This statue serves as the guardian of the temple or Hindu temple. In addition, based on the etymology of which to be rope snake, Nagabanda is also interpreted as a symbol of binder or restraint. This understanding makes Nagabanda as a symbol for people who have close ties to the community and have intimate ties with worldly materials.

title: Sharkawshchyna

text:
Sharkawshchyna or Sharkovshchina (; ; ; ) is an urban-type settlement in Vitebsk Region, Belarus. It serves as the administrative center of Sharkawshchyna District. Population: 6,107 (2023); 6,330 (2017); 6,900 (2010).

History
Within the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Sharkawshchyna was part of Vilnius Voivodeship. In 1793, the town was acquired by the Russian Empire as a result of the Second Partition of Poland.

From 1921 until 1939, Sharkawshchyna was part of the Second Polish Republic. In September 1939, Sharkawshchyna was occupied by the Red Army and, on 14 November 1939, incorporated into the Byelorussian SSR.

From 30 June 1941 until 1 July 1944, Sharkawshchyna was occupied by Nazi Germany and administered as a part of the Generalbezirk Weißruthenien of Reichskommissariat Ostland. In October 1941, 1,900 Jews of the town and surroundings were kept imprisoned in a ghetto. Many died of disease and starvation.
On July 17, 1942, 1200 Jews were murdered in a mass execution perpetrated by an einsatzgruppen, some managed to escape when the Judenrat instructed them to run through the lines of the police coming at them. Several days later, most of the survivors, even though they knew their ultimate fate, joined the Jews of the nearby ghetto at Glebokie. This was used by several Holocaust researchers from the "Israel school" of holocaust research, as a study case showing the futility of Jewish resistance in those years.

title: Lex and Davey

text:
Lex Gough (Lex Carter) and Dave Stewart (Davey Carter), known professionally as Lex and Davey (stylised as 'Lex&Davey'), are radio show presenters and are best known for hosting the breakfast show on Chorley FM (in Lancashire, England) between April 2014 and March 2016. On October 19, 2015, they got to the final of the 'Your Big Chance' competition with Radio City (Liverpool), Rock FM and Key 103. In November 2015, they joined Wirral Radio for a short run before leaving due to other commitments in May 2016. Between 2016 - 2018 Lex and Davey had a DJ residency at The Krazyhouse nightclub in Liverpool before its closure in July 2018. As of 2021, Lex and Davey present the British Indoor Karting Championship for TeamSport Karting.

Radio career

FraggleRADIO
The two first worked together at a radio station that Davey founded in 2005 called 'FraggleRADIO', which was an Internet radio station in Liverpool based inside the Quiggins shopping center. After presenting The Big Live Drive on KCC Live for a year, Lex was invited to join FraggleRADIO by Davey shortly after they met during a band night in Liverpool. Eventually the two decided to present a show together called Unleashed. In July 2006, Quiggins was forced to close down, which also resulted in the closure of the radio station.

The Net 40
In 2008, they were approached by The Net 40 to present the show on a regular basis. They presented the show for several months before leaving to present a show on KCR FM.

106.7 KCR FM
They joined 106.7 KCR FM based in Huyton, Liverpool, which was their first slot on an FM station. They presented the KCR Takeover show every Saturday evening between 7 pm and 10 pm. Due to the success of the show, they were asked to change from one evening a week to four evenings a week, Monday to Thursday.

107.6 Juice FM
In 2009, shortly after KCR FM closed, they were asked to fill in on various shows on Liverpool's Juice FM. After a short run on Juice, they decided to concentrate on separate projects and didn't present radio again until 2013.

Return to FraggleRADIO
Lex&Davey made a return in April 2013 to FraggleRADIO, which had also re-launched that year. They presented a show once a week every Wednesday between 7.00 pm and 10.00 pm for a year. In April 2014 they gave up the slot to a different presenter due to other commitments.

102.8 Chorley FM
In April 2014 they joined Chorley FM to present Lex&Davey's Morning Chorley every Sunday morning. In December 2014 the Morning Chorley show was expanded across Chorley FM's line-up to cover Monday to Friday as well as Sunday. In August 2015, both Lex and Davey joined the board of directors at Chorley FM in a non-executive capacity after being voted into the position by members of the radio station.

Lex&Davey decided to end the show and step down from the board in March 2016.

92.1 Wirral Radio
Between November 2015 and May 2016, Lex&Davey hosted various shows on Wirral Radio.

Your Big Chance

title: Terry Richards

text:
David Terence Richards (2 November 1932 – 14 June 2014) was a British actor and stuntman, best known for his appearance as the Arabian swordsman in the 1981 Indiana Jones film Raiders of the Lost Ark. During his career, Richards worked on over 100 productions across film and television; worked in nine James Bond films; fought as a stuntman in scenes with Indiana Jones, James Bond, Luke Skywalker and Rambo; and doubled for Donald Sutherland, Tom Selleck and Christopher Lee.

Biography

Born in South London to Welsh parents, he served in the Welsh Guards. After finishing his national service, in 1957 whilst working as a scaffolder, a friend from the Guards told him they needed extras with military training. After gaining the job, he was asked if he could fall off scaffolding during a riot scene, which he accepted. In 1958 he served as a fighting extra alongside Kirk Douglas in The Vikings, and in 1960 was a co-founder of The Stunt Register, a UK industry list of accredited stunt performers. He also appeared in an episode of The Avengers as a Cybernaut, a murderous silver robot controlled by Peter Cushing (1967) "Return of the Cybernauts".

Richards' most famous scene was as the scripted "large Arabian swordsman" in the 1981 Indiana Jones film Raiders of the Lost Ark. Director Steven Spielberg shot the production's Cairo, Egypt-located fight scenes in the town of Kairouan, Tunisia. Richards had practiced for weeks with his heavy Arabian sword to create the scripted fight scene, choreographing a fight between the swordsman and Jones's whip. However, after filming the initial shots of the scene (and with Harrison Ford suffering from dysentery), after lunch, Ford and Spielberg agreed to cut the scene down to a single gunshot, giving Jones a humorously unfair advantage. It was later voted in at No.5 on Playboy magazine's list of best all-time scenes, and also created a Lego character of the large Arab.

Richards retired after his last performance in the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, where his character beat-up Pierce Brosnan in a recording studio in Germany. Richards lived his later life  in Ruislip.
His funeral service and burial took place on 24 June 2014 at Breakspear Crematorium following his death from a sudden cardiac arrest in his sleep.

title: Trefeurig

text:
Trefeurig is a community in Mid and West Wales, situated around  north-east of Aberystwyth. It is a site of particular prehistoric, Roman, and Iron Age interest, and has a long history as a mining area. In 2011 the local population was estimated at 1,771 people.

Boundaries
The community boundary encompasses the areas of Penrhyn-coch, Salem, Pen-bont Rhydybeddau, Cwmsymlog, Cwmerfyn, Banc-y-darren, Cefn-llwyd, and Capel Madog.

The community's lowest point lies in the west, and is less than 20m above sea level. This is the point where the Peithyll and Clarach streams meet at Pont Rhyd-hir, and the railway bridge on the A487. The boundary runs along the Nant Clarach for a short distance before climbing through Gogerddan forest, then along the middle below Broncastellan Fort, until reaching the road from Bow Street to Pont-goch.

The boundary continues along Bow Street until turning at Elgar's Farm and travelling along the stream past the old Elgar and Mynyddgorddu mines, and through the old mine reservoir. The border then turns south over Troedrhiwseiri Bank until it reaches the Afon Stewi.

It is at the east, over Garn Bank near Caer Pen y Castell, where the community reaches its highest elevation of 437m above sea level, just north of the summit.

The boundary passes through a forest owned by Natural Resources Wales until reaching the shore of Syfydrin Lake at the eastern end of the community. There it heads south across the moorland until it reaches Ponterwyd Road just west of the Buwch a'r Llo (Cow and Calf) Standing Stones.

It follows the road until reaching Blaenmelindwr Lake and then follows the lane past Llyn Rhosgoch to the front of Cwmerfyn. It follows the southern slopes of the valley towards the sea until reaching the road from Cwmerfyn to Capel Madog. It then climbs past Ysgubornewydd, turning west above the Madog Valley until crossing the road to Pen-llwyn, then crosses the River Peithyll and meets the road to Capel Dewi, Aberystwyth near the Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences Ionosphere Research Station.

The border leaves the Pen-llwyn road just before reaching Capel Dewi, and follows the Peithyll River through the small wood of Pwll Crwn to the edge of Pont Rhyd-hir.

The community of Trefeurig is bordered by 5 communities, Tirymynach, Ceulanmaesmawr, Blaenrheidol, Melindwr, and Vaynor.

Geography
The land at the eastern end of the community, on the outskirts of Elenydd, is largely heathland and mountainous in character. It is mostly open ground except for the pine forests, which were planted by the Forestry Commission starting in the 1930s. Three reservoirs lie on the high ground, Llyn Pantrhydyrebolion (also known as 'Llyn Pendam'), Llyn Blaenmelindwr and Llyn Rhosgoch. The three reservoirs and Pen-Cefn reservoir were built to supply water to the mines. The Angling Association administers the fishing rights on the Rhosgoch and Blaenmelindwr lakes.

As well as the Natural Resources Wales forests, the majority of which are pine, Trefeurig has broadleaved and mixed forests, mostly on steep slopes and on the river banks. Ice Age glaciers deposited shingle on the flat valley floor in the lowlands, and a layer of clay. The remainder of the land is improved pasture, used for grazing sheep and cattle. Some of the land is used in IBERS experiments. Lowland hedges divide the fields in the lowlands, as well as wire fences and some stonewalls in upland areas.

There are five Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) at Trefeurig. Three of them, Cwmsymlog, Mwyngloddfa Cwmystwyth, and Mwyngloddfa Llechweddhelyg, are in the grounds of the old mine workings. Much of the mine waste was cleared during the 1990s, but some waste still remains, especially at Cwmsymlog. Unusual plants and lichens grow on these sites, consisting of species which can tolerate high levels of metals in the ground.

Banc Llety-spence SSSI is a rare dry heath habitat in Ceredigion. Gwaun Troed-rhiw-seiri and Llyn Mynydd-gorddu by contrast are of interest instead for the rare marshy grassland in the area. SSSIs are typically located on private land, but unusually there is public access at Cwmsymlog.

The community includes the following villages:

 Penrhyn-coch
 Pen-bont-rhyd-y-beddau
 Salem
 Llwyn Prysg
 Pen-rhiw-newydd
 Cwmsymlog
 Cwmerfyn
 Banc-y-Darren
 Cefn Llwyd

There are 5 churches in the community, namely St John's Church (Church in Wales), Horeb Church (Baptist Union of Wales), Salem Church (Congregational Federation in Wales), Siloa Church, Cwmerfyn Church (Independent), Capel Madoc (Calvinistic Methodist). There is a community primary school in Penrhyncoch, as well as Neuadd, a football club that plays on Baker Field and has a social club, a children's playground, and a playground. Pen-bont-rhyd-y-beddau also has a playground. Natural Resources Wales has installed car parks and footpaths in the forests at Gogerddan and Round Pond. They have also installed car parks and cycle and walking trails on the grounds around the lakes in the west of the community.

An Eisteddfod and Show are held annually at Penrhyncoch Hall.

Climate
The Gogerddan Weather Monitoring Station opened in 1953, near to the present day site of IBERS.

Geology

The rocks in Trefeurig have been dated to the early Silurian period, including mudstones and silt.

Several rock bends occurred from the Devonian to the Permian eras, which caused faults to appear in the rock. The faults became filled with hot fluid pressed through the cracks from the ground below. These faults are now filled by quartz, with some amounts of lead, silver, zinc, and copper. The percentage of minerals differs from vein to vein. The Cwmsymlog vein is relatively heavy in silver and the Daren vein is relatively heavy in copper.

History

The prehistoric period
There are traces of people living near Trefeurig since the New Stone Age. In 1986, archaeologists excavated a site on Gogerddan land in the triangular field between the A4159 and IBERS, and discovered burial and ceremony sites, used from the Neolithic to the Early Middle Ages. The earliest traces found were in a pit, and included burnt grain, indicating the presence of farming nearby. There were also standing stones, round barrows, post-holes, Iron Age cremation remains, Early Medieval graves, and cellular remains.

We know that the standing stone, and other standing stones on the other side of the highway, were used by the Gogerddan family to mark the starting line of horse races which were held during the 18th century. As a result, this raises questions about whether the other uncovered standing stones have indeed stood there since prehistory, or whether they are more contemporary in nature. Other standing stones have occasionally been found in the community grounds, including Garreg Hir (Grid Ref SN703835) and Cerrig-yr-Wyn (Grid Ref SN685836). In 1923 a quartz standing stone was moved from Fanc Troed-rhiw-seiri to the village square to serve as a memorial to the dead of the First World War.

The ring barrow near the original site of the standing stones was excavated in 1955, finding an Early Bronze Age grave, and a Roman cremation. A pile of stones on Baker's Field had already been excavated in 1851 when clearing the mound to plow the field. The farmer found bones, a metal brooch pen, and an earthenware vessel that broke down when touched. Flints and other primitive tools have occasionally been found in the Plas Gogerddan valley.

In 1994 a pit and burnt stones were discovered at Penrhyn-Canol, about 40m south of the Seilo Brook (Grid Ref. SN642839). It is thought that the pit would have contained a burnt mound during the Bronze Age, but plowing has since meant these remains have been demolished. Another burnt mound was identified in the Sebon Valley. There are also a number of cairns at Trefeurig, including Garn Wen on Fanc Cwm-isaf, Dolgau cairn on Fanc Trawsnant and cairns at Nghaer Daren.

When Lewis Morris came to Cwmsymlog in the mid-18th century, he reported seeing the remains of an old mining method at Twll-y-Mwyn, Cwmsebon, and stone tools that he claimed had belonged to prehistoric miners. As these artefacts were not available by the 20th century, there is considerable uncertainty about these claims.

Since the late 20th century a number of Bronze Age ore mines in Wales have been discovered by new archaeological works, most of them at Elenydd. In 2005 additional stone hammers were found on the edge of the Twllymwyn works, along with other evidence which confirms that mining took place there in the Bronze Age.

Hillforts were established at Trefeurig during the Iron Age, at Pen-gaer above the bus yard, and at Daren. An outline of another fort emerged near Alltfadog during an aerial survey.

Sarn Helen crosses Trefeurig on the road between the Roman forts of Penllwyn on the banks of the Rheidol, through the Middle Peninsula and past the Courtyard, to Talybont. In 1998 a hoard of Roman coins was discovered by the road near Salem. It is thought to have been hidden in the last decade of the third century AD. The money is on display at Ceredigion Museum in Aberystwyth.

Contemporary
During the Norman invasion of northern Ceredigion in the early 12th century, Ystrad Peithyll Castle (Grid Ref SN623824) was built, and a wooden tower was placed on top of a mound surrounded with a ditch. The castle was burnt by Gruffydd ap Rhys' army during the rebellion of 1116.

During the Middle Ages, Trefeurig belonged to the Hundred of Penweddig. The Hundred has been divided into 3 commotes, including Genoedd Glyn (north of the River Clarach) and Perfedd (south of the Clarach). Under Roman rule, Trefeurig was part of the parish of Llanbadarn Fawr. Because the parish was so large, it was divided into townships or administrative parcels, including Trefeurig township. At that time Trefeurig extended past Pumlumon, including some land in Powys today.

In 1894 civil parishes were established in Britain, including Trefeurig Parish, each with its own parish council. Parish council oversight included road repairs, preserving old shafts left open when the mines were closed and supplying clean water to residents. The Parish Council was responsible for the construction of the Ty'n-celli bridge across the Nant Seilo in 1924, but by the time the new bridge was built in 1991 many of the responsibilities of parish councils had been transferred to the county councils. The bridge of 1991 was therefore at the expense of the County Council.

The title of Trefeurig changed from the Parish of Trefeurig to the Community of Trefeurig in 1972, under the Local Government Act 1972. Community boundaries were reorganized in 1987, slightly extending the parish boundaries north of the Clarach and Stewi Rivers, and south of the former Middle Parcel lands, and significantly reducing the eastern boundary of the parish.

title: Felicity Green

text:
Felicity Green  (born 26 June 1926) is a British fashion journalist and former newspaper executive.

Early life and career
Green was born in June 1926 and raised in Dagenham, Essex in rooms above a bike shop. From an impoverished Jewish background, Green's father ran a local shoe shop while her mother, though deaf, was the more formidable parent. Her father was cruel to her mother, although Green, their only child, attempted to control his behaviour. She did share a love of the cinema with him, and they saw two double features together each Thursday. From the movies, Green acquired her interest in glamour and fashion.

Initially a short hand typist and secretary at Woman & Beauty in the 1940s, she was promoted to fashion editor within two years. After this she joined Housewife, where she assumed the same post, and then W.S. Crawford, the advertising agency, for a time.

Mirror Group journalist
In 1955, Hugh Cudlipp asked Green's opinion of Woman's Sunday Mirror, a publication for which he was responsible. Following a severe analysis, she was hired as Fleet Street's first female associate editor. The title was short-lived, being folded into Woman magazine.

Green moved on to the Sunday Pictorial (as the Sunday Mirror was then named) in 1959 filling the same post as before. Since 1955, her immediate boss had been Lee Howard, and she became associate  editor of the Daily Mirror in 1961 when Howard was appointed as the newspaper's editor. Green recalled her new colleagues response to her: "They were all being as helpfully 'feminine' as they could, which was the last thing I wanted. My plan was to make the pages interesting to men, too."

Her responsibilities included women's editor, and to promote the interests of women in all areas of the newspaper's activities. Her writing for the paper included fashion, although Green wrote in 2011 that she is really more interested in style, and admitted to modelling herself on film star Audrey Hepburn. For including the miniskirts of Mary Quant in the Mirror, Green was effectively threatened with the sack by Cecil King, then chairman of the International Publishing Corporation, of which the Mirror Group of Newspapers was a part. Cudlipp, by then chairman of the Mirror Group, supported her. According to Roy Greenslade, Cuidlipp told Green in December 1964: "I don't understand what you're doing but I trust you. So I've decided to give you the front and back pages of the Mirror to tell our readers what the Swinging 60s are all about."

Sex, Sense and Nonsense, published in November 2014, is Green's anthology of her 1960s work for the Daily Mirror.

Executive posts and later career
Green feels she retained a distance as a journalist and avoided being fully absorbed into the fashion industry. "Fashion is not a bloody religion, as most fashion editors seem to think it is," she told Anna Murphy of The Daily Telegraph in 2014. "There is a difference between fashion and clothes. One is the real stuff, which is the clothes. Then there is fashion, which is some kind of mesmeric stuff out there that persuades the world to go in certain directions rather mysteriously. It's all big business. And I'd rather people spent money on clothes than arms."

Later Green became executive women's editor across the three Mirror titles, and in 1973, the group's publicity director. She joined the newspaper's board, the first woman to achieve such a position, at this point. Green had some initial trouble, as the only woman, using the directors' lift. She felt it was impossible to inform some wholesalers who objected that she was indeed so entitled. "You can't", she told Katharine Whitehorn for a 1978 article, "when you are five foot ome and a half." She survived at the Miirror so long "by being nice to people. Don't start arguments. People can either help or hinder you. Well, you are an idiot if you cause them to hinder you. So I'm very tactful - if you are tactful people are always ready to help you."

In 1978 she resigned after discovering that a new male journalist had been appointed to the board at £30,000, more than twice her own salary of £14,000. "Apparently, I was supposed to be honoured simply to be a director", she observed years later.

Meanwhile, in December 1977, Green  joined Vidal Sassoon as managing director of operations in Europe and Executive Vice-President of the American company. Later she advised the board of the Telegraph and worked for the M&S (Marks & Spencer) magazine, which included interviewing Margaret Thatcher about her fashion interests.

title: Disbursement

text:
A disbursement is a form of payment from a public or dedicated fund. Alternatively, it means a payment made on behalf of a client to a third party, for which reimbursement is subsequently sought from the client.

It is a term most commonly used by solicitors in the UK to refer to payments which they have made or will make to third parties in connection with the matter they are dealing with on behalf of the client. Section 67 of the Solicitors Act 1974 refers to disbursements as “costs payable in discharge of a liability properly incurred by [the solicitor] on behalf of the party to be charged with the bill”. These may include court fees, counsel's fees, fees for medical or other expert reports or search fees in a property transaction.

Disbursements paid by an undertaker on behalf of a bereaved family generally include cemetery or crematorium costs, costs for religious worship and any newspaper announcements.

For VAT purposes, disbursements are defined more narrowly and distinguished from recharges like travelling expenses and postage, which are incurred by the business for its own requirements rather than for the customer. VAT is applied to recharges, but not to disbursements.

title: Where Have You Been (All My Life)

text:
"Where Have You Been (All My Life)" is a song written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.

Arthur Alexander version
"Where Have You Been (All My Life)" was first released by Arthur Alexander in 1962, with "Soldier of Love (Lay Down Your Arms)" as the B-side, on Dot Records (London Records in the UK). Alexander biographer Richard Younger describes the song as "a classic example of sixties pop songwriting that captures the thrill of first love."  Billboard Magazine described the song as "an emotion-packed theme with solid female chorus work," and also praised the feeling Alexander imbues his vocal with.  Younger praises the "maturity" of Alexander's vocal performance, comparing it favorably to that on the earlier "You Better Move On," particularly how Alexander handles the "intricate melody, which ascends from the opening lines of revelation...to a chorus that is half-plea and half-exclamation."  Producer Noel Ball claimed to have taken Alexander "way uptown" with the recording, creating what Younger describes as "a thrilling production that builds from a stark bass and drum into a mini-symphony with strings reminiscent of The Drifters' "There Goes My Baby."   The song peaked at #58 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Authors David Hatch and Stephen Millward see a resemblance between "Where Have You Been (All My Life)" and early songs written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

Covers
The Beatles covered both "Where Have You Been (All My Life)" and "Soldier of Love" live early in their career.  There is a live version by the Beatles on the bootleg album Live 31 December 1962 at the Star Club, Hamburg, Germany with John Lennon on lead vocal.  Music critic Richie Unterberger described the song as "cool" and "moody" but complained that the sound on this recording was too "muddy" to be able to figure out the lyrics.

The song was recorded by Gene Vincent on Columbia Records, and by Gerry and the Pacemakers on Laurie. Also the Liverpool-based group The Searchers recorded the song on Pye Records for their 1964 LP It's The Searchers. Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders also recorded it, appearing in B side of their 1964 eponymous album.

This song with the title Till We Kissed, was sung by the New Zealander Ray Columbus & the Invaders in a 1965 single of the same name. The Canadian band The Guess Who issued the song with this title as the "B" side of their single Shakin' All Over in 1965.

Roy Clark released a song with the same title, but written by Wayland Holyfield, in his 1978 album : Labor of Love.

title: Samuel Burdy

text:
Samuel Burdy (c.1760–1820) was an Irish author, known as the biographer of Philip Skelton.

Life
He was born at Dromore, County Down, about 1760, the only son of Peter Burdy, a merchant there. He obtained a sizarship by examination at Trinity College, Dublin, on 22 March 1777; was awarded a scholarship in 1780, and graduated B.A. in 1781. He was ordained in 1783, and in the same year was appointed curate of Ardglass, a parish in the county of Down.

Burdy was only once promoted, to the perpetual curacy of Kilclief, a small preferment in County Down. This was soon after 1800, and he died there in 1820.

Works
In 1781 Burdy met the Rev. Philip Skelton, then in old age, and they became firm friends for the remaining six years of Skelton's life. Skelton lived in Dublin, and for three years Burdy used to visit him often. After Burdy left Dublin they corresponded till 4 November 1786. After Skelton's death Burdy researched for a biography, visiting Tyrone, Monaghan, and Donegal, to collect reminiscences of Skelton. In 1792 he published at Dublin The Life of the late Rev. Philip Skelton, with some curious anecdotes. The life was republished in London in two volumes, with the lives of Edward Pocock, Zachary Pearce, and Thomas Newton, in 1816. In 1824 a third edition appeared, prefixed to an edition of Skelton's works, edited by Robert Lynam, but with changes to the text of Burdy's biography.

Burdy also published:

A Short Account of the Affairs of Ireland during the years 1783, 1784, and part of 1785 (1792);
Ardglass or the Ruined Castles, also the Transformation, with some other poems (1802); the Belinda who is several times mentioned in Burdy's poetry is probably the daughter of Thomas Percy, but Burdy remained unmarried, because the bishop would not allow the match.
A History of Ireland (1817).

title: Bana Tchanilé

text:
Bana Tchanilé is a former football coach, he has been in charge of the Togo national football team on at least two occasions, in 2000 and in 2004.

On 7 September 2010, Togo allegedly played Bahrain in a friendly losing the match 3–0. However, on 14 September, the Togo FA claimed that a fake team had played against Bahrain.

Bahrain's head coach Josef Hickersberger rated the match as a missed opportunity for his team to prepare for the West Asian Championships starting in September.

Togo's Sport Minister Christophe Tchao said to the Jeune Afrique magazine that nobody in Togo had "ever been informed of such a game". On 20 September 2010, it was revealed that Tchanilé was the culprit and the Togo FA have given him a three-year ban in addition to the two-year ban he got in July 2010 for taking Togo players to play a tournament in Egypt. The match fixing has been linked to Wilson Raj Perumal and the Singaporean match-fixing syndicate allegedly run by Tan Seet Eng.

He is the older brother of Tchakala Tchanilé.

title: Nebwawy

text:
Nebwawy (or Nebuāui) was an ancient Egyptian High Priest of Osiris at Abydos during the 18th Dynasty.

Biography

Nebwawy's life is known thanks to some stelae from Abydos: the earliest narrates his career under the first nine years of Thutmose III, while the latest is datable to Amenhotep II's coregency.

Early in his career—likely under the late reign of Hatshepsut—he was a priest in charge to the cult of the deified pharaoh Ahmose I, and he also led some military missions, in one of which he overcame some rebels who were opposed to Hatshepsut. After the death of the female-pharaoh, Nebwawy managed to keep his prominent status: on many occasions he acted as a counselor of the pharaoh, and under Thutmose III he finally became High Priest of Osiris, a title which he held until his death occurred some time during the coregency of Amenhotep II.

As mentioned earlier, Nebwawy is attested on at least three stelae; the oldest is now in the British Museum (EA 1199), while the other two were both found at Kom el-Sultan near Abydos and are now at the Cairo Museum (CG 34017 / JE 6135, and CG 34018 / JE 2014).

Terengganu used to be one of Malaysia's poorest states until oil and gas were discovered off its coastline not too long ago. There are huge petrochemical and gas processing plants and supporting petroleum based industries near Paka and Kerteh, involving many joint ventures between Petronas, the Malaysian national oil company and foreign multinationals. Agriculture and fishing are still major industries while tourism is fast becoming a major economic contributor in Terengganu.

Terengganu has a coastline of beaches, and lush tropical rainforests. Terengganu is also rich with customs and traditions, upheld through generations and visible in its way of life, its arts and handicrafts, its traditional culinary and its heritage.

Terengganu covers a land area of 12,995 km2 with 244 km of scenic coastline overlooking the South China Sea.

Terengganu boasts a fine tropical climate, with uniform temperatures averaging from 23-33 degrees Celsius and a mean humidity of about 90%. Rainfalls are copious, accounting to Terengganu's lush rainforest and vegetation. Generally two seasons are

Adding to the comfort and convenience are ample parking spaces, food stalls, children playground, toilet facilities and river cruise jetty.
 Keropok Lekor at Kampong Losong - Some call them fish fritters, fish sausages or fish sticks but in Terengganu, they are called keropok. There are two three types of keropok, mainly keropok lekor (boiled chewy ones), keropok goreng (fried chewy ones) and keropok keping (sliced, sun-dried and fried). There is none better than those found in Kampong Losong. Keropok lekor are actually made from processed fish meat mixed with salt and sagoo flour. This mixture is then hand rolled into sausage shaped around 6 to 10 inches long and immediately cooked. It is an afternoon snack normally dipped in
Terengganu‟s equally famous chili sauce.
 Chinatown, Kuala Terengganu (Kampong China) - Chinatown in Kuala Terengganu is first established by the Chinese community in the late 19th century. It was once a hub for commercial activities that help shape Kuala Terengganu into what it is today. The Chinese built the traditionally designed shop houses according to their place of origin in China. The buildings have been declared a heritage site by the United Nation‟s UNESCO World Monument Watch Programme and grants are being given annually to finance preservation of this pre-colonial heritage significant.
 Terengganu State Museum - It is acclaimed as the largest of its kind in Malaysia. The Terengganu State Museum houses century old artifacts and artworks of rich and colourful heritage. Located on 27 hectares of land in Bukit Losong, Kuala Terengganu, the complex itself is an impressive architectural feature, based on the designs of the ancient Terengganu palace.
 Redang Island - Of all the islands in Terengganu, the island is perhaps blessed with development and tourism infrastructures. To date, chalets and resorts have mushroomed to cater for the ever-increasing tourist arrivals. There is a small airport for a direct flight from Subang Airport, Kuala Lumpur and Seletar Airport, Singapore, operated by Berjaya Air. Most of the arrival is via Merang Jetty in Setiu. The Fisheries Act of 1985 declared Redang and its archipelago as a marine park. In Marine Park located in Pulau Pinang, visitors can hand-feed the fishes while snorkeling. In fact, the whole of the island offers abundance of marine lives, coral gardens and a few ship wrecks which are definite thrills and excitements for scuba-divers.
 Bidong Island - It was internationally well known as the relocation center for Vietnamese refugees from the mid-1970s until it was closed in the early 1990s. The state government decided that no accommodation facilities are to be built on the island. Remnants of hospital, school, sundry shops and warehouse are a stark reminder of what is used to be home to thousands of boat people. There is a turtle research centre led by a local university and an underwater gallery that hosts replicas of Inscribed Stone (Batu Bersurat), a Keris, a traditional sampan and betel chewing canisters (tepak sireh) located 15m underwater.
 Lang Tengah Island - Its name is derived from the sea eagles that breed on this picturesque island. The island is accessible via Merang Jetty in Setiu. Located between Pulau Perhentian and Pulau Redang, Pulau Lang Tengah's
natural habitat remains untouched. The jungles are still retains its natural eco system. There are only four resorts with their own private beach.

Besut
Besut is the northernmost district in Terengganu and it borders with Kelantan. Jertih is the commercial hub while Kampung Raja is the administrative centre. Besut has so much to offer for visitors. The splendour of nature awaits them at Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Rhu, the waterfalls of Lata Tembakah, the therapeutic Kampung La Hot Spring and the pristine beaches of Pantai Bukit Keluang, Pantai Air Tawar and Pantai Dendong. Besut is also home to thriving cottage industry that includes woods carving, leather crafts and rattan weaving.

Setiu
It is believed that Setiu got its name from a Bugis chieftain, who, after months of travelling all the way from Sumatera, decided to stay in Setiu for good. Bandar Permaisuri, which means Queen's town, is the district capital as well as the administrative centre. Setiu is known for its beaches, its traditional fishing villages and its nature. Another attraction in Setiu is its wetland areas.
