== Welsh Fiddle Players ==

There is a revival of fiddle playing in Wales. The two major record companies in Wales, [[Fflach Tradd]] and [[Sain]], over the past 20 years have recorded some of Wales' folk fiddlers. The Welsh spelling for fiddle is '[[ffidil]]'.

Modern day players include: [[Cass Meurig]], Crwth player; Robert Evans, Crwth player; [[Sian 'Fiddle' Phillips]]; Iolo Jones; Mike Lease; Jane Riddout; Dan Morris; [[Gerard Kilbride]] and [[Bernard Kilbride]]; Patric Rimes; Stephen Rees; Huw Roberts; Idris Jones; Gareth Westacott; Jamie Nemeth; Claire Parry; Jo Cooper and Christine Cooper.

Many of the above are or have been involved with the [[Fiddle Festival of Wales]] and the [[Snowdon Fiddle Festival]], or have been entrants in the [[Welsh Celtic Fiddle Competition]].

== Ocha Nigosu. ==

'''Ocha Nigosu.''' (お茶にごす。) is a [[comedy]] [[manga]] series by [[Hiroyuki Nishimori]].The main character, an infamous delinquent, joins the school [[tea ceremony]] club, in an attempt to depart from his life of violence.

The manga runs in Weekly [[Shounen Sunday]] since issue 18 of 2007.

The name of the series is a pun in two different ways. The saying "Ocha wo nigosu (お茶を濁す)", which literally means "to make tea muddy", is an idiom meaning "make shift for the present" or to beg the question/issue. Nigosu is also a slangy version of the word nigai (compare sugosu/tsuyosu, as used on the 2ch bbs.), which makes the title mean "The tea is bitter".

The spelling "Ocha ni Gosu!" is entirely wrong, and the series contains absolutely no goths of any kind.

===Main Characters===

* Masaya Funabashi (船橋雅矢)
Known as "Devil" Ma-kun. According to himself, a pretty nice guy who doesn't enjoy fights, though he can't help but take on anyone that comes looking for one. An avid follower of [[LOHAS]], which he believes stands for "Life Smile of Stationary".

* Yamada (山田)

Has been Funabashi's best friend since they both were kids. Provided the start of Funabashi's brawling when his valued bug was stolen by an older boy in grade school, and Funabashi beat the boy up to get it back.

* Anezaki (姉崎)

The kind and pretty president of the tea ceremony club. She has the firm belief that people should not be judged by their exterior, and thus invites Funabashi to join. She does, however, still shake all over when asking him.

== Jeremy Gatdula ==

== Current position ==


Jeremy I. Gatdula is a Director at T/A Trade Advisory Services. He specializes in international economic law and the World Trade Organization. Throughout his career, Mr. Gatdula has advised clients (which has included governments, multinational corporations, and industry associations) on issues relating to the WTO and the ASEAN, including trade remedies, strategic trade planning, international dispute settlement, and trade advocacy.

He is also currently a lecturer at the law schools of Arellano and Ateneo on public international law and international economic law, respectively.


== Previous work ==

Mr. Gatdula began his career as a legal assistant in RFM Corporation. After passing the 1995 Philippine bar examinations (placing 12th in a field of almost 4,000 examinees), he worked as an associate attorney in the law firm of Puno and Puno. While there, he engaged heavily in litigation (for cases pending before the lower courts, Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court, as well as cases pending before administrative tribunals) and corporate practice. He was invited to join and later made a partner in the law firm of Zulueta, Puno, and Associates. There, his work dealt more on appellate law practice (i.e. cases pending before the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court) and in supervising the associate attorneys of the firm. Later (in 1999), Mr. Gatdula was promoted to Second Managing Partner, with the added responsibility of overseeing personnel and administrative matters. In November of 2000, wishing to give full attention to the highly specialized field of international economic law, he accepted his appointment as legal counsel of the WTO/AFTA/APEC Advisory Commission, Office of the President, a position he held until the end of 2002. Mr. Gatdula worked closely with the Department of Trade and Industry Undersecretary and Assistant Secretary for International Trade (as well as with the Bureau of International Trade Relations) on WTO matters and has represented the Philippines in several international trade disputes. With his position as legal counsel, he also sat in the meetings of the Tariff Related Matters Technical Committee and the Technical Committee on WTO Matters. He was part of the Philippine delegation - as adviser - to the Fifth Ministerial Conference of the WTO in Cancun, Mexico. Mr. Gatdula was also the first Executive Director of the Institute for Special Studies (an organization primarily concerned with studies on international law and international trade law). He later became a Fellow of the Institute. In 2002 he joined PricewaterhouseCoopers, rising to the position of Philippine and Indonesia Territories Leader for PwC’s Worldtrade Management Services, and dealt specifically on customs and trade matters. He has also participated, either as moderator, discussant, or speaker, in several conferences or symposia on international economic law or policy.

He has been teaching public international law since 1996 and international economic law since 2000. At the age of 30, he was appointed as Arellano pre-bar reviewer for public international law (arguably the youngest ever to hold such a position in the Philippines). Mr. Gatdula is also the author of or has edited several articles on public international law and international economic law.


== Education ==

Mr. Gatdula holds a Bachelor of Science degree, Major in Management (San Beda, 1991). He received his Bachelor of Law degree (graduating valedictorian) from Arellano in 1995. He took his oath as member of the Philippine bar in 1996. On scholarship from the Cambridge Overseas Trust, he went to the University of Cambridge for his Master of Law degree (specializing in international law), which he received in 2000.
