# Bigga, New South Wales

Bigga is a village in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia, in Upper Lachlan Shire. It is in the Parish of Bigga, County of Georgiana. The name Bigga is thought to originate as a shortened version of the Biggs Grant. Bigga is on the western side of the Abercrombie Mountains. It is 91 km northwest of Goulburn and 52 km southeast of Cowra. Nearby towns are: Abercrombie River, Binda, Greenmantle, Grabine, Reids Flat, and Tuena. Nearby places are: Blanket Flat and Crooked Corner. These places were once towns.
Bigga is noted for producing some of the world's finest superfine wool.
The earliest explorer into the Bigga area was James Meehan who passed through in April 1820, travelling from Mount McDonald to Bathurst, via what was then called the Fish River, but today is known as the Lachlan River. The first official land sale in the region was of 1,000 acres (400 ha) at Sandy Creek to Samuel A. Blackman in 1835. Sandy Creek was one of the first fine wool farms in the district. During the 1850s there was a land boom and numerous families added to the three original families of the area: the McGuinesses, Blackmans and the Hearnes.
On Christmas Day 1861 bushranger John Peisley shot local innkeeper William Benyon who would die from his wounds seven days later. Peisley was arrested four weeks later and hanged at Bathurst in April 1862. Peisley was a founding member of Frank Gardiner's gang.
After this the area again did not attract new settlers until the 1880s. Bigga village was proclaimed in 1892. In May 1896 a Bigga and Blanket Flat progress association was formed.

## Population

At the 2016 census, Bigga and the surrounding area had a population of 245, while at the 2021 census, the population had increased to 268.

# Peter Giles (countertenor)

Peter Giles (born 1939) is a British countertenor and writer of scientific books about countertenors. Giles began his career as a boy chorister in a traditional all-male choir in London. In the years from 1961 to 1966 his teacher was the celebrated countertenor John Whitworth. He first was appointed as alto lay clerk at Ely Cathedral, then at Lichfield Cathedral, followed by Canterbury Cathedral, where he was senior lay clerk from 1978 until 1994. During his career he had numerous performances as a soloist singer within the UK, but also in the US and in Canada. Occasionally he can be seen on TV with solo performances and readings.
He took additional lessons by Arthur Hewlett and specialised on 'Sinus Tone Control', a sound technique by Ernest George White, which puts special emphasis for singers on using the resonances in the head. In this method he gives lessons for speakers and singers as a professional voice teacher.
He performed with the male trio Canterbury Clerkes for 25 years. In 2000, he founded the mixed voice quintet Quodlibet, with which he made three albums. Besides that he plays the organ at different churches and conducts and coaches choirs.
Giles is also known for his publications on the subject of countertenor.

# Peter Kid

Peter Kid was a 17th-century Presbyterian minister. He was possibly a native of Fife.

## Ministry

He graduated with an M.A. from St Andrews University in 1650. He was ordained (by the Protesting Party) to Douglas in 1654. He was deprived of his office by an Act of Parliament 11 June, and Decreet of Privy Council in Glasgow 1 October 1662. He became the indulged minister of Carluke along with Alexander Livingstone of Biggar on 3 September 1672. For refusing to observe the Anniversary of the Restoration of Charles II and to join in the National Thanksgiving for His Majesty's deliverance from the Rye-house Plot, he was summoned before the Privy Council, 8 July 1673, and again 11 August 1677, when he was fined in one-half times his stipend. For a similar offence his indulgence was withdrawn, on 8 October 1684, and he was ordered to leave the country. He further declined (unlike everyone else on that day) to come under any obligation not to preach without a licence from the Government, and was sent to the Bass Rock where he remained a prisoner from May 1685 to 21 September 1686. Owing to infirmity, Kid petitioned the Privy Council to set him free; at the same time agreeing to live privately, in his own house and to abstain from preaching. On these conditions the Committee granted order and warrant for his release. Wodrow says he was eminent in the gift of prayer. Kid is recorded as sometimes being so caught up in prayer that he forgot himself and used up all the time he should have preached.
He was living at Waygateshaw, Carluke, 28 May 1687, as appears from a bond in his favour of that date. It is uncertain whether he returned to Douglas or not, or if he survived the Revolution. James Gibson and Charles Rogers say he died in 1694. He was buried at Carluke.

## Other names

He was called Francis Kid in Baillie's Letters.

## Epitaph

Peter Kid originally had a tablestone inscription much like that of John Blackadder. This was replaced in 2014 by an upright stone.
A faithful, holy pastor here lies hid—
One of a thousand — Mr Peter Kid:
Firm as a stone, but of a heart contrite,
A wrestling, praying, weeping Israelite.
A powerful preacher, far from ostentation,
A son of thunder and of consolation.
His face, his speech, and humble walk might tell
That he was in the Mount and Peniel.
He was in Patmos, and did far surpass
In fixed steadfastness the Rocky Bass.
His love to Christ made his life to be spent
In feeding flocks and kids beside his tent.
His frail flesh could not equal paces keep
With his most willing spirit, but fell asleep.
His soul's in heaven, where it was much before,
His flesh rests here in hopes of future glore.
Passenger! ere thou go, sigh, weep, and pray—
Help, Lord, because the godly do decay.

## Family

He married Susanna (died March 1697), daughter of Sir John Cheisley of Kersewell, and had children — John; Elizabeth; Anna; Grizell, who were served heirs, 17 February 1694.

# Hajar Am-Dhaybiyya

Hajar Am-Dhaybiyya (Arabic: هجر امذيبية) is an ancient settlement that date back to the kingdom of Hadramawt in Nisab district of Shabwah Governorate in Yemen. The site necropolis (100 m large) revealed elaborate and extraordinary burial objects. Though the findings were concentrated in a small portion of the general area. Four burials only were excavated.

## The site

The city sequence is divided into 5 phases based on major changes of the site architecture. The initial phase on the hill top is usually dated to first centuries AD and was dominated by a single building constructed using characteristic technique of pre-Islamic south Arabia. Only one room in the structure with preserved floor exist. It appears, from the fill beneath the plaster floor, that at one point, the building was renewed. Glacis (4–6 m wide) was also constructed on the site, however whether it encircle the entire tell is not clear.
Judging from the surface layers of the necropolis, the tombs appear to span over several centuries. Grave 3 is dated approximately between 1st to 4th century AD. And the artifacts found there shows detectable Roman artistic influence.
Four burials had been excavated in the site necropolis, only grave 3 was intact, and it yielded great amount of funerary possessions. Which apparently belonged to either an upper class individual, or rather a soldier as suggested by the presence of weapons.
# Kokerboom–Auas High Voltage Power Line

The Kokerboom–Auas High Voltage Power Line, also Keetmanshoop–Dordabis High Voltage Power Line, is a high voltage electricity power line, under construction, connecting the high voltage substation at Kokerboom, near Keetmanshoop, in the ǁKaras Region to another high voltage substation at Auas, near Dordabis, in the Khomas Region of Namibia.

## Location

The 400 kilo Volt power line starts at the NamPower 400kV substation at Kokerboom, near the city of Keetmanshoop, in Namibia's ǁKaras Region. Kokerboom is about 16 kilometres (10 mi), by road, northeast of Keetmanshoop, on the road to Koes (M29 Highway).
The power line travels in a general northerly direction to end at another 400kV substation, also owned by NamPower, located at Auas, near the town of Dordabis, in the Khomas Region of Namibia. Dordabis is located about 94 kilometres (58 mi), southeast of the city of Windhoek the national capital and largest city in the country.
The power line passes through three Namibian regions; namely ǁKaras Region, Hardap Region and Khomas Region. Its length, from end to end is in excess of 800 kilometres (497 mi).

## Overview

The power line is being developed as part of plans to improve power delivery, reliability and stability of the Namibian electricity grid. This will ensure the safe and reliable importation of power from the South African utility, Eskom. In the future, when NamPower has excess electricity to sell to the Southern African Power Pool, this transmission line ensures, efficient means of transporting that power to South Africa and to its final destination. In addition, Namibia being a large country, with urban centres sparsely spaced out, transmission of power at these high voltages, reduces technical losses over those long distances.

## History

In 1981, a 220kV line served as the main backbone of the Namibian electricity grid and the means by which the country imported power from neighboring South Africa. Circa 1999, a single circuit 400kV transmission line was strung between the substation in Aries, South Africa to Auas outside Windhoek in Namibia to meet demand and stabilize the network.
It is anticipated that by 2023, that network will be insufficient to meet Namibia's expanding electricity needs. A new 400kV single circuit power line between Kokerboom and Auas is in the processes of development, to "ensure system reliability" and provide increased demand and expanded area of coverage.

## Associated power lines

The current Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract awarded to Power Line Africa (Pty), a Namibian company, includes the design and construction of a transmission line between Auas, Namibia and Gerus, Namibia, a distance of about 371 kilometres (231 mi).

## Construction

Power Line Africa (Pty), a local company is the main contractor on this project, at a reported cost of N$660 million (US$45.5 million). Construction is expected to begin in 2021 and last approximately 2 years.
