1 (obsolete) valley. In later times it came to mean stream, and is a feminine noun (probably through its association with afon (= river), a feminine noun). See the entry below.

Y Nant (�the valley�) is Nantperis (�(the) valley (of) Peris�) (nowadays the village of Llanberis, where nant has been confused with llan, a much more usual first element in a settlement name. This is the home village of the founder of the company.
5 Nanmor (< N�ntmor < N�ntmawr < nant mawr �great valley�) village by Beddgelert
Dafydd Nanmor a praise bard of the 1400s was from this valley
6 in certain place names, confusion has occurred, and nant (= valley) has been replaced by llan (= church):
..1/ Llanddewi Nant Hodni > Nant�oddni (= valley of the Hodni / Hoddni river) > Llanto�ni / Llantoni
..2/ Llanfihangel Nant Teyrnon > Nant-teyrnon (= valley of Teyrnon) > Llantarnam
..3/ Nant Carfan / Nantcarfan > Llancarfan (= valley of Carfan)
..4/ Nant Garan / Nantgaran (valley of the Garan stream) > Llangaran (> Llangaron?, with the change of a > o which occurs in the final syllable of some words in Welsh, as in medieval Welsh cawad = shower, modern Welsh cawod). Spelt in English Llangarron. This is a village in Herefordshire England, in former Welsh lands west of the Gwy (Wye) river, and is a few miles south-west of Rhosan ar Ŵy� (Ross on Wye)
..4/ Nant Peris / Nantperis (= valley of Peris) > Llanberis
..5/ Nant Rhirid / Nantrhirid (= valley of Rhirid) > Llantriddid (on English-language maps as Llantrithyd)
http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/ST0472 map, the village
Possibly because village names with nant (= valley) as a first element are not common in Wales, nant occurring mainly as a non-habitative name, there was a tendency to replace it with llan, a much commoner first element in settlement names
�ETYMOLOGY: Welsh nant < British < Celtic
From the same British root:
..1/ Cornish nans (formerly nant) (= valley) � both common in place names in Cornwall (nant in the east, nans in the west).
..2/ Breton ant (= furrow) (an example of wrong word-division - an nant came to be understood as an ant). In place names, nant (= valley)
In Gaulish too there was a word nant- (= valley), appearing as an entry nanto, �valle� in Endlichers Glossary (The Glossary is a Gaulish-Latin wordlist in a manuscript of the 800s, a copy of an earlier work probably from the 500s or 600s. It was compiled by a native of South Gaul, and lists Gaulish words which would have been still in use at the time it was written. The Glossary is preserved in the Austrian National Library.)
(delwedd 7222)
Nanteuil, in south-eastern France, is Gaulish nant-ial-o �valley clearing�,
corresponding to Welsh nant (= (older) valley; (nowadays) stream) and i�l (= (older) clearing; (later) cultivated upland).
(Had this compound occurred in British and had passed into Welsh it would have been �Neintial� in modern Welsh)
In the Arpitan language (also called �Franco-Proven�al) in the Alpine border regions of the states of Italy, France and Switzerland, nant is apparently still in use as a common noun, as well as being quite frequently found in place names in Arpitania (these Alpine regions where Arpitan is spoken). See the following entry: Welsh nant = stream
NOTE: Obsolete plural forms are
1. nannau
from (nant) + (plural suffix au).
Note the change nt- > nnh- > nn- (nant-eu > nan-nheu > nan-neu / nannau)
Compare cant (= one hundred), cannoedd (= hundreds).
See -nn-
2. naint, from a Middle Welsh form neint
British (stem nant- + -i) > *neint-i > Welsh neint > naint
nant (2) <NANT> [nant] feminine or masculine noun
PLURAL nentydd, nantoedd <NAN-toidh, -todh, NAN-tidh> [ˡnan�tɔɪ�, �tɔ�, ˡnantɪ�]
Older plurals are naint, nannau
1 (feminine noun) stream, brook. In older Welsh, it meant valley, and was a masculine noun. See the entry above. Its feminine gender proabably came about because of the word�s association with afon (= river), a feminine word.
Occurs in Cambrian English as �nant� (�the dog was in the nant� etc)
Safai Gerddi Gleision ar waelod darn o nant goediog, gysgodol, mewn lle oedd yn llygad haul canol dydd (Melin-y-dd�l; William a Myfanwy Eames; 1948; t121)

13 Gw�l-y-nant view of the stream
(gw�l = view) + (y definite article) + (nant = stream, valley)
NOTE: In Arpitan (or Francoproven�al), a Latinate language spoken in the Alpine region in the border zones of three modern states � Italy, France and Switzerland, �nant� was originally �valley�, and the word is still used to this day in the sense, though nowadays it has the sense of �stream� (or a torrent, or mountainside stream, given the nature of the topography), parallelling the sense development in Welsh.
Gaulish nant-u / nant-o- (= valley) was taken into Vulgar Latin, which in these regions evolved into modern-day Arpitan.
Place names with nant or derivative forms are abundant � for example
..1/ Le Bon Nant, a stream flowing into the Arve in Upper Savoy;
..2/ Le Nantet (�little stream�) in Annemasse in Upper Savoy;
..3/ Nantbellet (�Bellet�s stream�) in Upper Savoy. (Bellet is an Arpitan personal name formed from (bell = fair, good-looking) + (-et diminutive suffix))
(delwedd 7223)
In Geneva, it still has, or had, the sense of �valley� (nant : C��tait un ravin bois� au fond duquel coule un petit ruisseau) (Translation: nant: it was a wooded ravine at the bottom of which a small stream flowed.)
(From Termes Regionaux de Suisse Romande et de Savoie http://henrysuter.ch/glossaires/patoisN0.html#nant ).

Nant-y-glo <nant-ə-GLOO> [nant ə ˡgloː]
1 village in the county of Blaeanau Gwent
The �English� name is the poor Welsh spelling Nantyglo.
2 Nanty Glo, Cambrian county, Pennsylvania.

Although the original meaning was probably �valley� of the coal rather than �stream� of the coal, part of Nant-y-glo in Blaenau Gwent has the English name Coalbrookvale, which seems to be a translation of a Welsh name Cwm Nant y Glo. Such a Welsh name would suggest that �nant� has been understood as stream, and that Nant y Glo is the name of the stream flowing down this valley.
If so, the stream probably had another name at one time.

I thought I had a lot of beads … until I decided to make a beaded curtain. In the 1960s, I always wanted beaded curtains, but never could get my mother to supply them. Then I lived my life with a houseful of cats, who would tear them down in a heartbeat. When I realized that I have made my craft room a "cat-free zone," I determined it was time to have what I always wanted! I started threading my stash of colorful beads on fishing line. Suddenly I realized that you don't have a "lot" of beads unless you own the whole danged craft store!
I persevered and made not one beaded curtain but three, and I've been showing out about it on Facebook. Click that picture, and you can see a larger image. Some of my friends have said, "I'm going to make one of those!" Before you do, I want you to know what I learned about 1/5 of the way into the process. I have about 16 strands that I need to re-do, and I don't want you making my mistake.
Now, I don't usually do DIY posts, so bear with me while I try to explain it. It's not rocket surgery, but there are a few things you might not think about if you, like me, just jump into the project without planning.
Before you even think about starting the beading, cut a 3/4″ diameter oak dowel rod to fit your window. It needs to be oak, so it will be sturdy enough to hold those strands of beads. They get extremely heavy. Drill holes for at least two to three heavy duty hooks in the top of the window sill to hold that dowel rod. Or, find some willing handyman to do this for you (sorry, I've already worn out my Sweet Spousal Unit, so he probably won't volunteer). Make sure that you drill into wood and not Sheetrock, or that curtain will come tumbling down. I've seen tension rods suggested for this, but I wouldn't trust a tension rod to hold the weight of all those beads.
Why hang the rod before you bead? Because it will help you gauge how your strands will look (you might want to vary the types of beads you use) and you will have a place to put the finished strand so it doesn't get tangled. Lord knows, you don't want to tangle these suckers up!
You'll need a HUGE assortment of beads. Unless you are being particular, don't worry about them matching. I found that even beads that seemed ugly on their own looked just fine when beaded for these curtains. Buy in bulk at the craft store, or scour garage sales and thrift stores for old costume jewelry. The funkier the better.
You will need fishing line for the stringing, and there are two other supply items that I suggest:
First, you want to find some "split rings." I think they are for key rings, and at the local craft store they are in the jewelry section that they call "findings." You could use another type of ring, but these metal ones were heavy enough to hold the weight. Plastic won't work, I think. And, although these are called "split," the fishing line won't slip through the crack.
Second, invest in beads with two holes. You only need enough of them to have one at the bottom of each strand. I'll tell you why in a minute, so bear with me. Dang, that's a bright orange background that I picked, isn't it? Put your sunglasses on to cut the glare and continue. I'll do better the next time I do a DIY post.
DO NOT string these beads on a single strand of fishing line. That is the mistake that I made, and it is darned near impossible to tie the line off tightly enough that beads don't slip. Measure how long you want the curtains, then cut the fishing line twice as long PLUS about a foot. In other words, if you are making a 3′ long curtain, each strand of line will be 7′ long. Fold the line in half, and tie the split ring smack dab in the middle (use at least two knots to hold it … it will slip if you don't).
Now, find your glasses and start beading.
When the strand is as long as you want it to be, thread the fishing line (one strand on each side) through one of those double-hole beads. After making sure that your bead strand is pushed all the way down the line to the split ring (so you don't have gaps), tie at least three knots and then thread your ends back through about two inches of beads before trimming it.
VOILÀ! Kick back and enjoy your handiwork… the beaded curtains that Momma wouldn't let you have in the 1960s! I hope that helps, but if I made things as clear as mud, then feel free to ask questions.

I am doing some consultancy with a IT services provider and they are looking for a fairly simple helpdesk solution that can service multiple customers. What you have in terms of functionality is fine but they'd want to isolate the customer tickets to company viewing only. Do you have any extensions that will allow such a feature?
This topic was created during version 2.1.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Hi Richard, We do not have any "extension" to the Help Desk feature in Spiceworks. Can you elaborate a on "company viewing only"? We have the Help Desk user portal and the ability for a user to send in requests via email.
Jun 10, 2008 at 12:18 UTC
The guys I'm working with are looking for a helpdesk solution that will help them manage upwards of 50 companies. Each company is small (10-50 pax) and we'll be providing them an outsourced IT solution. I have already thought of running a Spiceworks in each location and then using email to notify us outside and, even with v3.0, this is looking the likely course. For security purposes and that it would work well as all the passwords are retained by the individual companies.
The alternative would be for ourselves to run a central helpdesk portal without scanning and then use the ticketing and assignment system to track all the work. This is probably more attractive as it means we can get a better view and track what our engineers are doing. The issue that raises itself then is that the helpdesk portal does not require any authentication to raise and track tickets. The good part is that you can raise tickets of behalf of others (secretaries for bosses etc) but the bad part is that you can then look at anyone's tickets as long as you know the email address. This may not be so bad intra company but if we were to try running a multi-customer solution then it would not be good. Several customers are rivals and it would be unprofessional of us to divulge any information, certainly if there were attachments involved.
If there is no facility to do this then fine. If there was a possibility of having such a level of functionality at some development cost then it would be something that we are willing to entertain. I found your product and think it's good. For myself I have my own customer base (I'm an independant consultant) and I'm already using it is a couple of customers and likely to do more. I showed it to the outsourcing company after they approached me to do some development on a helpdesk solution. Spiceworks hits most of their buttons and extends beyond what they had previously considered. It's get people thinking which is good but now it's at a level I need ask such a question.
Please let me know.
Jun 10, 2008 at 1:31 UTC
In version 3.0 we will be tied in with Active directory and the user submitting a ticket will need to authenticate properly using their login credentials when using the Help Desk portal, so security will be tightened. At this time we are not officially a multi-client solution however, as you stated running Spiceworks in each location would be the solution.
This multi-client functionality has been discussed and some Feature Requests have been added to our Community feel free to do a search and add your vote.

- The application period will remain open through March 1, 2017, but priority will be given to applicants who submit an application before November 15.
- On November 15, CSFP will close its priority application period, conduct a lottery, and award the majority of our 2,000 new, four-year scholarships to early applicants. The best chance to win a four-year scholarship will go to families who submit an application by November 15. Winners for this early group will be notified in December.
- The second application deadline will be March 1, 2017. The remaining scholarships will be awarded to those families who submitted applications after November 15 and to those families not previously selected in the earlier lottery. Winners for the second lottery will be notified in early March.
With the support of our Board of Directors, CSFP has decided to pilot this early access initiative in order to provide greater opportunity for new families to have even better school options for their children.

15 Year-Old Boy He Tried To Meet Was A Paedophile Investigator
Two men have been found guilty of the 'sickening and brutal' murder of a Luton man.
Kyle Pitchford-Price, 23, of Dovehouse Hill, and Luke West, 23, of Abbots Wood Road, were found guilty of the murder Atul Shah following a 5 week trial.
Pitchford-Price (pictured) was also found guilty of conspiracy to rob and had earlier pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice.
West was also found guilty of conspiracy to rob.
Pitchford-Price's girlfriend at the time, Corinna Armstrong, 21, also of Dovehouse Hill, was found guilty of conspiracy to burgle and had pleaded guilty to perverting the court of justice.
During the trial the jury heard how the two men had gone round to Mr Shah's flat in Crescent Road in the early hours of Wednesday 6 January planning to rob Mr Shah and steal his home-grown cannabis.
After breaking into the flat, Pitchford-Price and West carried out a violent attack on Mr Shah, tying his feet and hands together, and bludgeoning him to death.
Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins said:
"This was an absolutely sickening and brutal case, with both Pitchford-Price and West (pictured) inflicting unimaginable torture on their victim.
Even after the attack, despite realising that Mr Shah was seriously hurt, they did not seek medical assistance.
For the sake of a small amount of cannabis, these depraved individuals have not only taken a father away from his children, but ruined countless lives in the process - including their own."
The court heard how after the murder, the men fled the scene in an attempt to cover up what they had done.
However, following an appeal in the local press, a witness contacted police and gave both Pitchford-Price and West's names as the men responsible for Mr Shah's death and the truth of the evening was subsequently unravelled.
DI Jenkins added:
"Not only did they try to hide their despicable actions; they also pleaded not guilty to the murder, forcing Mr Shah's family to undergo the harrowing experience of a trial.
I'm pleased that they have now been brought to justice and I hope that this is of some comfort to the Shah family."
Pitchford-Price, West, and Armstrong will be sentenced in September.
Callum Holton, 20 , of Milton Road, was acquitted of conspiracy to rob, while Brian Edge, 56, of Hart Hill Drive was cleared of perverting the course of justice.
"The family would like to express their gratitude to the police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
Atul was a kind, loving man and always had a smile on his face.
We know those who are guilty of his death will serve their time in prison, however, we are truly saddened to say that outcome of the trial has no bearing on the fact that we will never see Atul's smiling face again.
The family are devastated and may probably never recover from this cruel horrific murder of Atul."
