Trees generally outlive us, and because they are fixed and emanate a sense of permanence, we actually feel a deep sense of loss now that they have fallen and will no longer be a part of the school’s landscape. It is worth remembering the service that our ‘soldiers’ have provided during their lifetime: oxygen, recycling water and regulating humidity, controlling air pollution, producing protein, providing shelter for wildlife and fertilizing the soil.

  • Pre-Industrial Swansea: Siting and Development
    34 PRE-INDUSTRIAL SWANSEA: SITING AND DEVELOPMENT Gerald Gabb Abstract This article is an investigation of what, in the eleventh or twelfth century, drew its founders to the location where Swansea grew up, why their successors remained there, and how and why the settlement developed the form it did. Starting with the Norse origins of Swansea followed by its Norman developments, the article draws on what limited evidence is available, including archaeological evidence from recent excavations. The article considers the importance of Swansea’s topography as a trading port and discusses some of its important medieval buildings, including the castle and major churches. This article is an investigation of what, in the eleventh or twelfth century, drew its founders to the location where Swansea grew up, why their successors remained there, and how and why the settlement developed the form it did. It addresses data from at least seven centuries, across which continuities figure strongly. Even when John Evans published his ‘Plan of Swansea’ in 1823 the area of the town had only crept a little beyond the perimeter of the town walls of the fourteenth century.1 Industrialization was soon to trigger rapid expansion, but what follow are some thoughts on the slower changes which came before that. Two things should be borne in mind. In any study of this sort, direct evidence is minimal. To adopt the technique of reductio ad absurdum for a moment, there is no extant report made by a steward to the first lord of Gower, Henry, Earl of Warwick, on the best place for his caput castle and town, nor, and this is less ludicrous, a burgess minute from the 1640s on where the new market house should go.

  • Judgement Under the Law of Wales
    05 Smith SC39 18/1/06 1:26 pm Page 63 STUDIA CELTICA, XXXIX (2005), 63–103 Judgement under the Law of Wales J. BEVERLEY SMITH Aberystwyth Tres diversi iudices sunt in Kambria secundum legem Howel Da: scilicet, iudex curie principalis per servitoriam, id est, swyt, cum rege semper de Dinewr vel Aberffraw; et unus solus iudex kymwd vel cantreff per swyt in qualibet curia de placitis in Gwynet et Powys; et iudex per dignitatem terre in qualibet curia kymwd vel cantref de Deheubarth, scilicet, quisque possessor terre. In its discussion of judges in Wales and the means by which judgements were given in court the text of Bodleian Rawlinson MS C821, Latin D, makes a distinction between three kinds of judges.1 The first was the judge (iudex) of each of the principal courts of Dinefwr and Aberffraw, who judged by virtue of office; second, there were judges (iudices) by virtue of office in the court of law of each commote or cantref in Gwynedd and Powys; and, third, there were judges (iudices) by privilege of land in each court of a commote or cantref in Deheubarth, namely every possessor of land.2 Judgements were distinguished in the same way, namely those of the king’s court, those of a judge by virtue of office in each commote or cantref in Gwynedd or Powys, and those of a judge not by virtue of office but by privilege of land in Deheubarth.3 The judge first identified in these passages, the judge of the court (ynad llys, brawdwr llys or iudex curie), looms large in the legal liter- ature as one of the principal officers of the king’s household, but the functions of his office, which have been examined elsewhere, stand apart from the subject matter of the present work and will not be noticed further.4 This study is concerned rather with the implications of the clear differentiation made in the text of Latin D between two species of judge and two forms of judgement that could be recognized in the courts of the princes’ territories, one associated with the courts of Gwynedd and Powys and the other with those of Deheubarth.

  • TID Badminton .Pdf
    The University of Stirling Title of Thesis: A comparison between Talent Identification and Development (TID) for badminton in China and the UK Name: Rita Yuan Gao Supervisor: Leigh Robinson Master of Philosophy Faculty of Health Sciences and Sport 2017 Abstract Badminton England created the first world badminton championship in 1898, known as the All England Badminton Championship. Since 1992 badminton has been an Olympic sport consisting of five disciplines, with fifteen badminton medals offered at each Olympic Games. Great Britain (GB) badminton won two Olympic medals between 2000 and 2008. China Badminton won 38 Olympic medals between 1992 and 2012. This leads to a number of questions, not least of which is to understand the success of China Badminton when compared with GB badminton, and the reasons behind that success. The research set out below is a study into badminton talent identification and development (TID) in China and the United Kingdom (UK). The study compares and contrasts the relative success of the systems used in China and the UK, discussing the similarities and differences in both country’s badminton TID programmes. This research followed a mixed methodology using three different types of research. These included documentary analysis of both countries’ sports systems and badminton programmes from an existing wide range of documentation. A total of forty Chinese and British national badminton players participated in the questionnaire survey. Eight national coaches from both countries were chosen for semi-structured interviews. The results indicated significant differences in the application of TID in badminton in both countries: • The sport system’s impact on athlete’s development opportunities; • Differences in the identification of badminton talent progress; based on age and testing; • Differences in player development; training age, training hours and training years; • The age at which players specialise in badminton and the age at which they reach peak performance.
