    Benthic Habitat Mapping of Cardigan Bay, in relation to the distribution of the Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). A dissertation submitted in part candidature for the Degree of B.Sc., Institute of Biological Sciences, University of Wales, Aberystwyth. By Hannah Elizabeth Vallin © Sarah Perry May 2011 1 Acknowledgments I would like to give my thanks to several people who made contributions to this study being carried out. Many thanks to be given firstly to the people of Cardigan Bay Marine Wild life centre who made this project possible, for providing the resources and technological equipment needed to carry out the investigation and for their wealth of knowledge of Cardigan Bay and its local wildlife. With a big special thanks to Steve Hartley providing and allowing the survey to be carried out on board the Sulaire boat. Also, to Sarah Perry for her time and guidance throughout, in particular providing an insight to the OLEX system and GIS software. To Laura Mears and the many volunteers that contributed to participating in the sightings surveys during the summer, and for all their advice and support.

  • Dalton Visits the UK
    ZULU VISITS UK by Bill Cainan Lidizwe Dalton Ngobese is currently employed as a tour guide at the Isandlwana Lodge in KwaZulu Natal. He is the great great grandson of Sihayo and the great grandson of Mehlokazulu. In June of 2010 he was able, due to a kind benefactor, to visit the UK for the first time. Dalton planned a five day itinerary, the main aim of which was to visit the SWB Museum at Brecon. Once the visit was confirmed the curator of the Museum, Martin Everett, rang me to ask if I would be willing to host Dalton while he was in UK. Having met Dalton a few times in KZN I was delighted to accept the offer. Dalton’s visit coincided with the UK’s Armed Forces Day which, in 2010, was being held in Cardiff with HRH Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, taking the salute. The Prince was also scheduled to open “Firepower”, the museum of the Welsh Soldier, which was located within Cardiff Castle. A plan quickly took shape involving Dalton in full Zulu regalia and myself in a uniform of a Corporal of the 24th to be in attendance at the entrance to the Museum. Dalton was also keen to visit some of the more famous Welsh castles on his visit. The diary of his visit is as follows: Wednesday 23rd June: Dalton arrives at Cardiff airport having flown from Jo’burg via Schipol. There were a few problems with the UK’s Border Agency , but when Dalton produced the formal invite to the opening of “Firepower” in Cardiff (TO BE ATTENDED BY HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES), things seemed to get a bit easier! I then drove Dalton the 50 miles to Brecon and he was given a quick tour of the Museum by Martin Everett (the Curator) and Celia Green (the Customer Services Manager).

  • HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH
    HISTORY of ABERYSTWYTH We all think of Aberystwyth as a seaside resort town. The presence of the ruined castle suggests a coloured medieval history, fraught with battles and land forever changing hands between powerful rulers. However, there was evidence of human activity in Aberystwyth long before this time, so we thought it might be worth going through the history of Aberyst- wyth right from the start. The earliest recorded human activity in Aberystwyth area dates back to around 11,500 years ago during the mesolithic period. The mesolithic period signalled the end of a long and arduous ice age, which saw most of the worlds surface covered in ice, leav- ing only the most hardy plants and animals to survive. As the ice retreaded in Mid Wales, this revealed large supplies of stone, including flint at Tan-Y-Bwlch which lies at the foot of Pen Dinas hill. There is strong evidence that the area was used for flint knapping, which involved the shaping of the flint deposits left behind by the retreating ice in order to make weapons for hunting for hunting animals. The flint could be shaped into sharp points, which could be used as primitive spears and other equipment, used by the hunter gatherer to obtain food. Around 3000 years ago there is evidence of an early Celtic ringfort on the site of Pen Dinas. The ringfort is a circular fortified set- tlement which was common throughout Northern Europe in the Bronze and Iron ages. What remains of this particular example at Aberystwyth is now located on private land on Pen Dinas, and can only be accessed by arrangement.

  • What Happy Museum Has Achieved Since Its Launch in 2011
    Happy Museum (HM) stimulates and supports museum practice that places wellbeing within an environmental and future-facing frame, rethinking museums’ role in creating more resilient people, places and planet. Through academic research, thought leadership, peer networking, advocacy, training and action, HM works directly with over 70 UK museums and impacted many more through events and an online presence which stretches globally. The Community of Practice’s vision for HM is of: A space to experiment with museum practice, through principles of care, inclusion and collaboration, in a critical time of change. What Happy Museum has achieved since its launch in 2011 Since 2011, and with investment from PHF, ACE, CyMAL and the Wales Federation of Museums, HM has: Funded creative interventions in 22 museumsi leading to individual development and organisational change (2011 - 14). Undertaken evaluation using the Story of Change taking learning from creative interventions and research to develop a set of common principles - see below. Created a suite of case studies, evaluation tools and resources for use by the wider sector with a re- launched website (happymuseum.org) to guide practitioners in How to Be a HM. In 2015 brought together 6 museumsii in an in-depth 5-year study into the impact of action research and peer learning on individual, organisational and community resilience. In 2017-8, recruited 17 Affiliateiii organisations to form an expanded Community of Practice, engaging c 200 participants from museum teams, volunteers, partners and communities with the HM principles, developing new practice and sharing learning through facilitated workshops and pairings. Held regular symposia bringing the Community of Practice alongside representatives from think tanks, NGOs and academia in fields such as energy, public health, economics, psychology and neuroscience.

This was a period of history that had an impact on every town, village and community across Wales with the loss of so many young men. Organisations throughout the nation are already considering how they can tell the stories of such a turbulent time. 1.2 The Welsh Government has instigated a stakeholder discussion on the planning process for First World War commemorations. The aim will be to reach as many individuals, groups, communities and organisations which have an interest in taking part in their own commemorations or working in partnership to develop joint activities. 1.3 Carwyn Jones AM, First Minister, has appointed Prof Sir Deian Hopkin to advise him and the Government on how Wales should prepare an appropriate and interesting framework of commemorative activities, exhibitions and events which will result in a lasting digital legacy for Wales. 2.

  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.
