Lake Maughan
Mount Mélébingóy, formerly known as Parker Volcano, is an active volcano on Mindanao island in the Philippines (6°06.8' N, 124°53.5' E). It is located in the province of South Cotabato, west of General Santos City and south of Koronadal City. The volcano's English name is taken from an American, General Frank Parker, who spotted the mountain and claimed to have "discovered" it during a flight he piloted in 1934. Parker led an expedition up to the lake in the mountain's crater with other US colonial and Filipino government officials, including Vice-Governor-General Joseph Ralston Hayden and Provincial Governor Gutierrez, in the fall of 1934.J.

Mawgan
Mawgan and Meugan (also Meigant) (Latin: ''Mauganus'') are names referring to either one or two Brythonic saints who flourished in the 5th or 6th century. __NOTOC__ Both names are widely attested in place-names and church dedications, Mawgan in Cornwall and Brittany and Meugan in Wales, but it is uncertain whether the names refer to one and the same person. The parishes of St Mawgan and Mawgan-in-Meneage in Cornwall derive their names from Mauganus. There is also a Machan in West Lothian (Scotland), as shown by the place-name Ecclesmachan, but again this may be a distinct figure. No hagiographical ''Life'' survives for Mawgan or Meugan, but figures bearing Latinised versions of either of these names appear in the ''Lives'' of Cadog and David. A saint called Maucan or Moucan features in an episode of the late 11th-century ''Life'' of Cadog, in which he arbitrates a quarrel between Cadog and Maelgwn, king of Gwynedd. A ''Life'' of David, also of the late 11th century, refers to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
