Monmouthshire
Historic coonty
The historic coonty o Monmouthshire wis formit frae the Welsh Mairches bi the Laws in Wales Act 1535. It bordered Gloucestershire tae the east, Herefordshire tae the northeast, Brecknockshire tae the north, an Glamorgan tae the wast. Thir Acts o Union naewhaur state that the aurie is remuivit frae Wales an addit tae Ingland, but atween the 16t an 20t centuries some considered that thare wis ambiguity as tae whether the coonty wis pairt o Wales or Ingland. Syne 1974 the aurie haes been placit definitively in Wales. The eastren an soothren bundaries o the historic coonty an the current principal aurie are the same, alang the River Wye an Severn estuary; housomeivver, the wastren twa-fifts o the historic coonty are nou admeenistered bi the ither unitary authorities o Blaenau Gwent, Torfaen, Caerphilly an Newport.

Bi aurie it covers some 60% o the historic coonty, but anerlie 20% o the population. The cooncil's admeenistrative heidquarters are at the umwhile Gwent Coonty Haw at Croesyceiliog, Cwmbran — ootside o its awn jurisdiction in the neighbourin borough o Torfaen.

Subiaco, Lazio
Subiaco is a toun an comune in the Province o Roum, in Lazio, Italy, 40 km frae Tivoli alangside the river Aniene. It is mainly renouned as a tourist an releegious resort for its saucrit grotto (Sacro Speco), in the medieval St. Benedict's Abbey, an for the Abbey o St. Scholastica.
At a time when several German monks haed been assigned tae the monastery, German printers established a printin press in the toun. They printit the first beuks in Italy in the late 15t century.
History
Auncient settlers o the aurie wur the Aequi, an Italic fowk. In 304 BC they wur conquered bi the Romans, who introduced their ceevilization an teuk advantage o the watters of the Aniene river. The present name o the ceety comes frae the airtificial lochs o the luxurious villa that emperor Nero haed biggit: in Latin Sublaqueum means "unner the loch." The name wis appleed tae the toun that developit nearbi. The biggest o the three Subiaco Dams wis the heichest dam in the warld till its destruction in 1305. Efter the faw o the Roman Empire, the villa an the toun wur abandoned, becomin amaist forgotten ruins.
When St. Benedict, at the age o fowerteen, retired frae the warld an livit for three year in a cave abuin the river Anio, he wis suppleed wi the necessars o life bi a monk, St. Roman. Frae this grotto, St. Benedict developed the concepts an organization o the Benedictine Order. He biggit twal monasteries an placit twal monks in each, includin ane at the grotto. In 854 a record notit its renovation. In this year, Pape Leo IV is said tae hae consecratit a altar tae Sts. Benedict an Scholastica an anither tae St. Sylvester. Anither renovation teuk place in 1053 unner Abbot Humbert o St. Scholastica. Abbot John V, creatit cardinal b Pape Gregory VII, made the grotto the terminus o a yearly procession, biggit a new road, an haed the altars reconsecratit.
In 1200 thare wis a commonty o twal, which Pape Innocent III made a priory; Pape John XXII in 1312 appointit a special abbot tae the monks. A new road was biggit by the city in 1688. The saucrit grotto is still a favourite pilgrimage. On 27 October 1909, Pape Pius X grantit a daily plenar indulgence tae those who receive Holy Communion thare an pray accordin tae the intention o the Pape (Acta. Ap. Sedis, II, 405).
The Abbey o St. Scholastica, aboot a mile an a hauf belaw the grotto, wis biggit bi St. Benedict aboot 520, an endoued bi the Roman patricians, Tertullus an Æquitius. The seicont abbot, St. Honoratus, chyngit the auld monastery intae a chapter room an biggit a new ane, dedicatin it tae Sts. Cosmas an Damian. It wis destroyed bi the Lombards in 601 an abandoned for a century. Bi order o John VII, it wis rebiggit bi Abbot Stephen an consecratit tae Sts. Benedict an Scholastica. Demolished in 840 bi the Saracens an again in 981 bi the Hungarians, it wis rebiggit again.
Wi the decline o releegious fervour, strife an dissension arose tae such a extent that Abbot Bartholomew in 1364, bi command o the pape, haed tae dismiss some o the incorrigible monks an fill their places wi releegious frae ither monasteries. Numerous monks wur brocht in frae Germany, an for mony decades Subiaco wis a centre o German thrift, science, an airt. Urban VI (1378–1389) abolished the abbots for life, teuk awa frae the monks the richt o election, an gave the admeenistration an revenues tae a member o the Curia.
The assignment o German monks tae Subiaco attractit ither Germans. The printers Sweinheim an Pannartz established a printin press in Subiaco and printed Donatus pro parvulis, Lactantius (1465) an De Civitate Dei (1467). Those wur the first beuks tae be printit in Italy.
Pape Callixtus III, in 1455, gave the abbey in commendam tae a cardinal. The first o these wis the Spainyie Cardinal Juan de Torquemada an the seicont Roderigo Borgia (later Pape Alexander VI), who remodeled the Castrum Sublacence, ance the summer resort o the papes, an made it the residence o the commendatory abbot. Mony o these abbots cared little for the releegious life o the monks an leukit anerly for revenue. As a example, Pompeo Colonna, Bishop o Rieti, commendatory abbot syne 1506, squandered the guids o the abbey an gave the income tae unworthy subjects. On complaint o the commonty, in 1510 Pape Julius II readjustit matters an restored the monastic possessions. For spiritual benefit, a union haed been made atween Subiaco an the Abbey o Farfa, but it lastit a short time. In 1514, Subiaco joined the Congregation o St. Justina, whose abbot-general wis titular o St. Scholastica, while a cardinal remained commendatory abbot. Even efter this union, thare wur quarrels atween Subiaco an Farfa, Subiaco an Monte Cassino, essentially amang the Germans an the Italians.
Efter this little is kent frae historical records aboot the abbey an the ceety till the 19t century. In 1798-1799 an 1810-1814 French troops unner Napoleon entered the ceety, plunderin the monasteries an the kirks. In 1849 an 1867 Giuseppe Garibaldi conquered the ceety in his plan tae destroy the temporal rule o the Pape an unifee Italy: in 1870 the ceety become definitively pairt o the Regno d'Italia.
In 1891, a Benedictine abbey foondit earlier in wastren Arkansas, Unitit States, chyngit its name tae Subiaco as pairt o a effort tae mair closely align its teachins an practices tae those o the famous abbeys o the Italian namesak.
In the first years o the 20t century, the aurie wis impruivit bi naitional investment in infrastructur, wi the connection tae a railwey, a hydroelectric plant an a aqueduct. Electricity wis brocht tae the hooses an a hospital wis biggit. In Warld War II, Subiaco wis bombed bi Allied planes.

Kfar Saba
Kfar Saba (, lit. "Grandfaither's Veelage"), offeecially Kfar Sava, is a ceety in the Sharon region, o the Central Destrict o Israel. In it haed a population o.
History
Kfar Saba (auncient Capharsaba) wis an important settlement durin the Seicont Temple period. is mentioned for the first time in the writins o Josephus, in his accoont o the attempt o Alexander Jannaeus tae halt an invasion frae the North led bi Antiochus (Antiquities, beuk 13, chapter 15). Kfar Saba an aa appears in the Talmud in connection tae corn tithin an the Capharsaba sycamore fig tree. The settlement wis likely named efter a body cried Sava, though this body's importance is no kent.
Excavations on the site hae revealed the remains o a lairge Roman bathhoose. In the Byzantine periods the ruins o the bathhouse wur first convertit intae fish pools, an later intae some form o industrial installation.
In 1596, an Arab veelage cried Kafr Saba existit at this place wi a population of 42 Muslim families. In the 1870s it wis describit as "a mud veelage o moderate size wi mud-ponds aroond it an guid water in the wells o Neby Yemin, tae the east." Modern Kfar Saba wis established in 1898 on 7,500 dunams o land purchased frae the Arab veelage. Despite attractive advertisements in Jerusalem an Lunnon, attempts tae sell plots tae private individuals wur unsuccessful, as the land wis locatit in a desolate, neglectit aurie far frae ony ither Jewish settlement. The Ottoman pasha o Nablus, tae whose govrenorate the land belanged, refused tae give biggin permits, therefore the first settlers wur forcit tae live in huts made o clay andstraw. They earned their livin bi growin almonds, grapes an olives. Maist o the manual laborers on the land wur peasants frae Qalqilya. Anerlie in 1912 wur permits gien an the settlers moved tae permanent hoosin.
In the Palestine campaign o Warld War I, Kfar Saba wis on the front line atween General Allenby's Breetish Airmy an the Ottoman airmy, an wis destroyed. At the same time aboot a thoosan residents o Tel Aviv an Jaffa came toae live in the toun. They haed been forcibly deportit frae their hames bi the Ottomans.
Due tae the Jaffa riots o 1921 these deportees returned tae their oreeginal ceeties. In 1922 the oreeginal residents returned an in 1924 additional settlers joined them. In this period the cultivation o citrus fruit developed. The first elections for the local cooncil wur held.
In the time o the Arab Revolt, in 1936-1939, as in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Kfar Saba's population suffered frae attacks bi Arabs frae the Arab veelage o Kafr Saba an ither veelages in the aurie. A short time afore the Israeli declaration o unthirldom these veelages wur taken in Operation Medina. In 1962 Kfar Saba wi awardit ceety status, wi heid o the local cooncil, Mordechai Surkis, becomin its first mayor.
