Ospreys TV: When the All Blacks came to Ospreylia
The Ospreys helped to unite the rugby and business communities of Wales and New Zealand last week, co-hosting a special event in Pencoed that brought a touch of All Black magic to the region.
With Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium hosting the New Zealand team’s Rugby World Cup fixture against Georgia, the following day, activity in Pencoed saw the region teaming up with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE), the economic development and trade promotion agency, to introduce two exciting sports technology companies to the UK, ADInstruments and VX Sport.
The day kicked off with a community rugby festival at Bridgend College’s Pencoed Campus, attended by 130 school children. Ospreys in the Community staff led the festival, accompanied by 10 students from the college’s Rugby Academy and three ‘Kiwi Ospreys’, Brendon Leonard, Johnny Claxton and Chris Gibbes.
Additional support came from All Blacks Conrad Smith, Codie Taylor and Sonny Bill Williams, who took time out from training in Cardiff to drop in and support NZTE, lending a hand on the pitch and meeting their young supporters.
After the children took part in a live demonstration of the new technology the focus switched from rugby to business once the All Blacks headed back to Cardiff.
Given the technology link, it was the Ospreys’ long-term commercial partner Sony UK Technology Centre who provided the perfect venue for a networking reception that saw Welsh and New Zealand businesses come together.

Llantrisant - Billy Wynt
Footage of the iconic landmark high on the peak of Llantrisant's Graig mountain. Owned by Llantrisant Town Trust on behalf of the Freemen of the town, this tower was rebuilt in 1893. Its history has been long debated and it is unlikely to have been a windmill as originally thought. Given its positioning on this outcrop - overlooking the important Ely Valley route from the blaenau to the lowlands - it is likely to have been a look-out tower for the neighbouring Castle.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Cardiff (Welsh: Caerdydd [kairˈdiːð, kɑːɨrˈdɨːð] (listen)) is the capital of Wales, and its largest city. The eleventh-largest city in the United Kingdom, it is Wales's chief commercial centre, the base for most national cultural institutions and Welsh media, and the seat of the National Assembly for Wales. At the 2011 census, the unitary authority area population was estimated to be 346,090, and the wider urban area 479,000. Cardiff is a significant tourist centre and the most popular visitor destination in Wales with 21.3 million visitors in 2017. In 2011, Cardiff was ranked sixth in the world in National Geographic's alternative tourist destinations.Cardiff is the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan (and later South Glamorgan). Cardiff is part of the Eurocities network of the largest European cities. A small town until the early 19th century, its prominence as a major port for the transport of coal following the arrival of industry in the region contributed to its rise as a major city. In 1905, Cardiff was made a city and proclaimed the capital of Wales in 1955. At the 2011 Census the population was 346,090. The Cardiff Built-up Area covers a slightly larger area outside the county boundary and includes the towns of Dinas Powys and Penarth.
Since the 1980s, Cardiff has seen significant development. A new waterfront area at Cardiff Bay contains the Senedd building, home to the Welsh Assembly and the Wales Millennium Centre arts complex. Current developments include the continuation of the redevelopment of the Cardiff Bay and city centre areas with projects such as the Cardiff International Sports Village, a BBC drama village, and a new business district in the city centre.
Sporting venues in the city include the Principality Stadium—the national stadium and the home of the Wales national rugby union team—Sophia Gardens (the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club), Cardiff City Stadium (the home of Cardiff City football team and the Wales football team), Cardiff International Sports Stadium (the home of Cardiff Amateur Athletic Club), Cardiff Arms Park (the home of Cardiff Blues and Cardiff RFC rugby union teams) and Ice Arena Wales (the home of Cardiff Devils ice hockey team). The city hosted the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. The city was awarded the title of European City of Sport twice, due to its role in hosting major international sporting events: first in 2009 and again in 2014. The Principality Stadium hosted 11 football matches as part of the 2012 Summer Olympics, including the games' opening event and the men's bronze medal match.
