# Rhiw Llwyd

Rhiw Llwyd is the name of an early medieval Wales lordship which was created in the Kingdom of Gwynedd in the 12th century for Tomas ap Rhodri ab Owain Gwynedd and his successors. The location of this lordship is not certain but it seems likely it refers to a hill of the same name (meaning in Welsh "grey slope") between Penmachno and Ysbyty Ifan in Gwynedd. The precise spelling of the name "Rhiw Llwyd" varies in historic documents, ranging from "Friw", "Friwllwyd", "Rhiwlwyd" and others.
Rhiw Llwyd is found within the ecclesiastical parish of Penmachno and is topped with a triangulation point. It is recorded in the Anwyl family papers that "Richard Anwyll of Havodwryd, Penmachno passed his estates in Caernarvonshire to his sisters Elizabeth and Anne Anwyl". There is a 16th-century manor called Hafod Dwyryd very close to Penmachno directly beneath the hill called Rhiwlwyd - this could have been the Anwyl's disposing of their last portion of that ancient lordship.
Richard Anwyl (Sheriff of Merionethshire), son of William Lewis Anwyl is recorded as having died in 1685. The family seem to have owned Parc (their primary home) for a long time before they sold "Havodwryd". The sisters of Richard were married and their families, Owen and Roberts, then owned Havodwryd thereafter.
# Ghorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi

Ghorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi (Persian: قربانعلی دری نجف‌آبادی; born 3 December 1950) is an Iranian politician and cleric. He is currently a member of the Assembly of Experts and also a member of the Expediency Discernment Council. He was previously the Minister of Intelligence of Islamic Republic of Iran.

## Career

Dorri-Najafabadi was the minister of intelligence in the cabinet of then president Mohammad Khatami. During his term of ministership, some journalists and reformist politicians were murdered by security agents, for which the Iranian government later charged his deputy, Saeed Emami, with orchestrating, claiming he had organized them independently. Dorri-Najafabadi resigned and was succeeded by Ali Younessi. The events were later named the "Chained Murders" by the reformist cabinet of President Mohammad Khatami.
After Mohammad Ismaeil Shooshtari, in 2005, he was the attorney-general of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He was succeeded by Jamal Karimi-Rad in the post.
In 2008, he said that toys such as the Barbie doll are "destructive culturally and social danger."

Dorri-Najafabadi is a fierce advocate of compulsory hijab in Iran. At a Friday prayer sermon, he said, "Holocaust has been as a pretext to fight hijab."
# Aysra

Aysra or 'esara (عيصره or عيصرا) is an archaeological village located in the northern district of the town of Sakib in Jerash Governorate, northern Jordan. Also known as Khirbet Aysra, it is situated near Mount Troun and contains remnants of ancient buildings and flowing water springs, highlighting its historical significance. Sakib and Aysra are closely associated with the prominent Al-Ayasrah family, which derives its name from Aysra (or khirbet Aysra).

## Historical Background

Aysra is mentioned in early Ottoman records as part of the administrative and economic system in the nahiyah (subdistrict) of Ajlun of the liwa (district) of Ajlun. According to the detailed register of the Ajlun District from 1538, the village had seven households and an imam, with an estimated population of about 42 individuals. Aysra contributed 25% of its production, with an annual contribution of 1,000 akçe. By 1596, the contribution decreased to 750 akçe, while the neighboring Sakib's contribution increased from 1,300 to 2,500 akçe.
In 1816, the explorer and traveler James Silk Buckingham visited the site and recorded its name the Ayasrah (Ahheatherah). He noted that the large stones used in its buildings, along with the vast amount of fine pottery fragments scattered around, indicated that it was an ancient site.
In 1890, during the geographical survey of East Jordan, Gottlieb Schumacher mentioned it as one of the important archaeological sites surrounding Jerash.

## Relationship with Sakib

Sakib is one of the largest towns in Jerash Governorate, having maintained a stable population throughout history, reflecting its rich cultural heritage. Aysra and Sakib have long-standing historical and cultural ties, with their past closely intertwined with the Ayasrah family. By the late sixteenth century, Aysra had merged with Sakib and now forms its northern part. Ottoman records and historical sources, such as Frederick Peake’s History of Eastern Jordan and Its Tribes, document this connection, noting that the Ayasrah derived their name from their original homeland, Khirbet Aysra, located near Sakib.

## Archaeological Features

Khirbet Aysra contains remnants of ancient buildings, a natural spring, and a water canal. Although the full extent of its historical layers remains unexplored, its strategic location near Sakib and Mount Toron indicates its historical role. Today, Aysra is recognized for its archaeological heritage and attracts researchers and historians studying the history of northern Jordan, particularly during the early Ottoman period.

# Muncaster Mill railway station

vteRavenglass & Eskdale Railway :
Legend :
Muncaster Mill railway station is a railway station on the 15 in (381 mm) gauge Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway in Cumbria, England. The station is located 1 mile (1.6 km) from Ravenglass and 6 miles (9.7 km) from Dalegarth, at the point where the A595 coast road crosses the line. It is situated on the bank of the River Mite and adjacent to Muncaster Mill, formerly a watermill but now a private house, from which it takes its name.

## Facilities

There is a passenger shelter and disabled-access toilet at the station. There is a siding built into the platform surface, which was formerly used for storage of permanent way engineers' rolling stock, and by shuttle trains on Gala event days. However, the siding has since been disconnected from the main line, by the removal of the points.
Although previously staffed by a station master, the station (in common with all intermediate stops on the railway) is now unmanned, with trains stopping by request.

## Accessibility

The platform is not long enough to accommodate step-free access to the disabled carriages, which are normally located towards the eastern end of each train set, on both the eastbound and westbound journeys.

## Muncaster Mill

Muncaster water mill ground wholemeal flour up until the end of World War I but government legislation made this uneconomic so it turned to crushing grain for cattle feed. It ceased operation in 1961. The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway Company purchased the mill in 1975 and had it restored to working order as a tourist attraction.

# Petr Akopov

Petr Akopov is a Russian propagandist and writer. Akopov writes and works for RIA Novosti, a Russian state-owned news agency. Akapov was the author of the prematurely published and then retracted article titled "The arrival/attack of Russia and the new world" ("Наступление России и нового мира"), which was written in advance anticipating the Russian victory in the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. In the ominous article, Akapov announced that "Ukraine has returned to Russia" and condemned "Anglo-Saxons who rule the West" for "attempting to steal Russian land", and asserted that Russian President Vladimir Putin's launch of the invasion resolved the "Ukrainian question" to establish a "new world order" with "Russia, Belarus and Ukraine". Before the news agency retracted the article, it was republished by another Russian state-owned news agency Sputnik and published by the Pakistani newspaper The Frontier Post in English.
Akopov is listed by the database Putin’s List as a Russian propagandist, accused of "public support for the Russian military aggression against Ukraine.
Petr Akopov is included in the report "1500 warmongers" compiled by the Free Russia Forum. The report contains the names of Russian propagandists and others who were publicly involved in supporting Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

# Romuald Guarna

Romuald Guarna (between 1110 and 1120 – 1 April 1181/2) was the Archbishop of Salerno (as Romuald II) from 1153 to his death. He is remembered primarily for his Chronicon sive Annales, an important historical record of his time.

## Life

Romuald was a native of Salerno, born into the old Lombard nobility. He studied as a youth in the Schola Medica Salernitana, where he studied not only medicine (in which he taught Gilles de Corbeil), but history, law, and theology. Romuald was raised to the Salernitan archbishopric after the death of William of Ravenna.
Romuald was a diplomat for the kings William I and William II. He negotiated the Treaty of Benevento of 1156 and signed the Treaty of Venice in 1177. Though he took part in the conspiracy against the Admiral Maio of Bari, he never fell out of favour and even performed the coronation of William II. Despite this, he exaggerates his own importance in his chronicle, which characteristically begins at creation and extends till 1178.
In 1160-1161, Romuald defended the city from the enraged William I, who was avenging the assassination of Maio. With the help of Salernitans at court and their connections to the king's intimates, the city was spared. In 1167, as the highest-ranking prelate in the realm, he crowned William II as king in the Cathedral of Palermo.
In 1179, Romuald intervened in a council condemning the Albigensians. He was succeeded by Nicholas of Ajello.

## Chronicon sive Annales

Romuald's work at a chronicle known as Chronicon was obviously connected with his studies at the Schola Salernitanae where his family had been involved over generations. It was part of a universal history and editions of the 19th century usually started with one paragraph before the last part called "Historia Normannorum, pars Sicula" (about the Norman kingdom of Sicily). According to Massino Oldoni the preceding compilation already existed, when Romuald was a child, the earlier Norman history also does not use the third person like the portion ascribed to him.

# 2006 Maltese local elections

Local council elections were held for 23 localities in Malta on 11 March 2006. Traditionally, this round of elections has given positive results to the Nationalist Party, with the biggest villages apart from Żabbar, being the traditional villages in which the Nationalist Party (Sliema, Naxxar, Birkirkara) obtains best results. Eighty-eight percent of the voting documents were collected.

## Results
### Overview

The Malta Labour Party (MLP) has won the Local Council elections with 53.8% of first count votes. The PN obtained 43% while Alternattiva Demokratika and independent candidates obtained 3.2%. While 3.2% may seem insignificant on a national level, this is not in the case of one locality, namely Marsaskala, as 0.76% of these translated in 604 votes and a seat for a new independent group, Grupp Indipendenti Marsaskala in the Marsascala Local Council, headed by ex PN MP Dr Josie Muscat.

## Background in multiple localities

* The Nationalist Party is at present in government. It has introduced several measures which might affect the election such as the rise in the price of electricity.
* A former Nationalist MP, Dr Josie Muscat along with three other members of the new GIM (Maltese: Grupp Indipendenti Marsascala), has successfully contested the elections in Marsaskala as an independent candidate on a campaign opposing the waste recycling plant in Marsaskala, the fish farms industry just 6 km away from Marsascala and the exclusion of Marsaskala from the tourist zone by the government. The three other G.I.M contestants were Marvic Attard Gialanze (first independent female mayor in the first-ever local councils' elections in 1994), John J Cole, and Mariella Cutajar.
** Dr. Muscat was elected to Marsaskala's 2006/9 local council representing G.I.M., whose group garnered well over 600 first votes. Therefore the Nationalist Party elected two councillors instead of the three in Marsascala, losing one seat.
* There was criticism regarding the government's plans on a recycling plant in Marsascala and the recently announced large scale fish farm concentration just 6 km away from this idyllic picturesque sea-side village.
* In Sliema, local residents were angry at the approach the Local Council has taken to the building up of a new multi-storage car park in a residential area.

# Dzhugdzhur

The Dzhugdzhur (Russian: Джугджу́р) or Jugjur, meaning "big bulge" in Evenki, are a mountain range along the western shores of the Sea of Okhotsk, located in Khabarovsk Krai in the far east of Siberia.
The mountains are quite deserted, the one exception being the gold mines that have operated in the range since the 1920s.

## Geography

The east range is bound by the northwest coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. To the northwest the range limits with the Yudoma-Maya Highlands, to the southwest with the Stanovoy Range, to the south with the Dzhagdy Range, and to the northeast with the Kolyma Mountains. The Maya, the Maymakan, and the Mati are among the rivers having their source in the range.

## Geology

The range was formed by an asymmetrical fold. The southwestern half of the mountains is composed of gneiss and granite from the Precambrian, while the northeast contains Mesozoic shale and limestone as well as Cretaceous and Paleocene igneous rock.

## Ecology and climate

The coastal stretch of the range is populated by Japanese stone pine and Dahurian larch. Parts of the range occupied by the Okhotsk-Manchurian taiga ecoregion contain swathes of Jezo spruce up to elevations of 1,300 m.
The climate is wet and cold, with wet rainy summers and severe winters.

## In popular culture
