Www.gwales.com - 9781843234029, Singing in Chains - Listening to Welsh Verse. Recent National Eisteddfod winner of both Chair and Crown, Mererid Hopwood here gives a clear, detailed and authoritative introduction to the uniquely Welsh poetic phenomenon of 'cynghanedd'. While she is unequivocal that it is inextricably bound into the Welsh language, and that to truly learn and practice it takes many years and a good deal of encouragement, she is also keen to give outsiders and beginners a taste of (and for) its magic.

The handbook is written in English with both grace and wit, but she then uses carefully chosen examples from the best of classic and modern Welsh poetry to illustrate the principal rules of the craft and convey the true music of the art. These, with exercises and a CD, move her readers through the most frequently used patterns and into a selection of the 24 measures. However, her emphasis is always on the importance of hearing the harmony, and understanding that the sound (rather than the letter of the law) is paramount. Caroline Clark. ARKive - Discover the world's most endangered species. Wildscreen's Arkive project was launched in 2003 and grew to become the world's biggest encyclopaedia of life on Earth.

With the help of over 7,000 of the world’s best wildlife filmmakers and photographers, conservationists and scientists, Arkive.org featured multi-media fact-files for more than 16,000 endangered species. Freely accessible to everyone, over half a million people every month, from over 200 countries, used Arkive to learn and discover the wonders of the natural world. Since 2013 Wildscreen was unable to raise sufficient funds from trusts, foundations, corporates and individual donors to support the year-round costs of keeping Arkive online. Therefore, the charity had been using its reserves to keep the project online and was unable to fund any dedicated staff to maintain Arkive, let alone future-proof it, for over half a decade.

Therefore, a very hard decision was made to take the www.arkive.org website offline in February 2019.
