“Avanite Are Actively Tackling the Problem” – Gwyn Williams, ICT
“Avanite are actively tackling the problem” – Gwyn Williams, ICT Background Gwynedd Council provides public services to the 122,000 residents of the old counties of Caernarfonshire and Merionethshire, along with full IT services for North & Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency (a part of the Welsh Government) and GwE (School Effectiveness and Improvement Service for North Wales). Gwynedd Council is by far the largest employer in North West Wales with nearly 4000 employees in key areas such as Education, Highways, Economic Development, Social Services and Welfare and Planning.In total the hospital employs 6300 people, making it one of the areas largest employers. The Problem The size of user profiles can be the bane of any Citrix administrator’s life and has an adverse effect on user experience, storage, and network requirements. We implemented AppSense (Ivanti) Environment Manager together with a mandatory Windows profile and were pleased to see the average size of 0.5MB per user within the AppSense database. We then implemented Internet Explorer 11 and rapidly saw the per user size grow to an average of 12MB per user. Do we assume 2MB of this is down to the new office and talk about 10MB per user? Not only was this having an adverse effect to our database size but users were reporting increased logon times with their systems. We found that removal of the web data by deleting the user’s Windows Settings Group for Internet Explorer restored their login times, however users then reported loss of their browsing history and cookies. We explored possible solutions with Microsoft and AppSense but neither had anything on their respective road- maps to address our issues.

These remarkable leaders were formidable warriors, shrewd politicians and generous patrons of literature and architecture. Their lives and times, spanning over 900 years, have shaped the country that we know today and left an enduring mark on the modern landscape. This guidebook will show you where to find striking castles, lost palaces and peaceful churches from the age of the princes. www.snowdoniaheritage.info/princes 4 THE PRINCES OF GWYNEDD TOUR © Sarah McCarthy © Sarah Castell y Bere The princes of Gwynedd, at a glance Here are some of our top recommendations: PRINCES OF GWYNEDD GUIDEBOOK 5 Why not start your journey at the ruins of Deganwy Castle? It is poised on the twin rocky hilltops overlooking the mouth of the River Conwy, where the powerful 6th-century ruler of Gwynedd, Maelgwn ‘the Tall’, once held court. For more information, see page 15 © Princes of Gwynedd of © Princes If it’s a photo opportunity you’re after, then Criccieth Castle, a much contested fortress located high on a headland above Tremadog Bay, is a must. For more information, see page 15 © Princes of Gwynedd of © Princes If you prefer a remote, more contemplative landscape, make your way to Cymer Abbey, the Cistercian monastery where monks bred fine horses for Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, known as Llywelyn ‘the Great’.

Celtic Folklore Welsh and Manx
CELTIC FOLKLORE WELSH AND MANX BY JOHN RHYS, M.A., D.LITT. HON. LL.D. OF THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH PROFESSOR OF CELTIC PRINCIPAL OF JESUS COLLEGE, OXFORD VOLUME II OXFORD CLARENDON PRESS 1901 Page 1 Chapter VII TRIUMPHS OF THE WATER-WORLD Une des légendes les plus répandues en Bretagne est celle d’une prétendue ville d’ls, qui, à une époque inconnue, aurait été engloutie par la mer. On montre, à divers endroits de la côte, l’emplacement de cette cité fabuleuse, et les pecheurs vous en font d’étranges récits. Les jours de tempéte, assurent-ils, on voit, dans les creux des vagues, le sommet des fléches de ses églises; les jours de calme, on entend monter de l’abime Ie son de ses cloches, modulant l’hymne du jour.—RENAN. MORE than once in the last chapter was the subject of submersions and cataclysms brought before the reader, and it may be convenient to enumerate here the most remarkable cases, and to add one or two to their number, as well as to dwell at some- what greater length on some instances which may be said to have found their way into Welsh literature. He has already been told of the outburst of the Glasfryn Lake and Ffynnon Gywer, of Llyn Llech Owen and the Crymlyn, also of the drowning of Cantre’r Gwaelod; not to mention that one of my informants had something to say of the sub- mergence of Caer Arianrhod, a rock now visible only at low water between Celynnog Fawr and Dinas Dintte, on the coast of Arfon.

North Wales Police ( UK ) Gwynedd Division. Repeat Address Calls North Wales Police ( UK) Gwynedd Division Contents CONTENTS Profile Gwynedd Division 2-5 Mission Statements 6-7 Abstract 8 Description 9-23 Appendix A S.A.R.A. Forms Appendix B Scanning Sources Appendix C Target Addresses Appendix D Graph's Appendix E Sample P.O.P. Package North Wales Police ( UK ) Gwynedd Division Profile of the Division The mountainous heartland of Wales, and of the County of Gwynedd in particular has long been recognised as being of special significance because of its spectacular scenery and cultural traditions. Its dramatic beauty, however, is not - and has not been for many generations - completely natural, but is rather a blend of the forces of nature and the hand of man, both of which continue to shape its development. It is an area steeped in great history, but nevertheless subject of national contemporary socio-economic pressures, and the effects of a vibrant tourist industry. Gwynedd covers by far the largest geographical area (629,000 acres) of the six Unitary Authorities in North Wales, and it extends from the City of Bangor in the North to the Dovey Bridge near Machynlleth in the South, and from Aberdaron near the tip of the Lleyn Peninsula in the west to Abergwyngregyn in the East. (The Gwynedd Police Divisional boundary is coterminous with the limits of the Gwynedd Council Unitary Authority area). Gwynedd's neighbouring Unitary Authorities (and Police Divisions) are Anglesey to the North, and Conwy and Denbighshire to the East, whilst its Southern and South Eastern borders mark the boundary between the North Wales and Dyfed-Powys Police areas.
