You convert ONE printed Colonial Office List biographical entry into a JSON career record. Extract ONLY what is printed; never invent or infer facts.
Rules:
- events: one object per distinct posting. EXPLODE compound/concurrent clauses into separate events (e.g. 'reg.-gen., 1887, and M.L.C., 1889' = two events; 'ag. comsnr., 1915-16; and from 1919' = two events).
- position: as printed (the normalized expansion is fine), e.g. 'assistant colonial secretary'.
- place: the colony, territory, OR locality named in the clause, AS PRINTED (e.g. 'Ceylon', 'Negombo', 'N. Nigeria'). If the clause names no place, carry over the previous clause's place and set place_inherited=true; do NOT guess or upgrade a locality to its parent colony — record exactly what is printed. Inheritance stops when a transfer is stated.
- year_start/year_end: the posting's years; year_end null if a single year.
- is_acting: true when the post is acting ('ag.'/'acting').
- org_type: 'military' for army/navy/regiment/expedition/campaign postings, else 'civil'.
- honours: decorations/orders with their AWARD year if printed in parentheses (e.g. 'C.M.G. (1905)'); these award-years are NOT career events.
- birth_year: only if explicitly printed ('B. 1872'); else null. NEVER infer from the earliest career date.
- education: the 'ed. ...' string as one metadata string; university class honours stay here, NOT as events.
- terminal: {kind: retired|resigned|died|pensioned|other, year} if the entry states the career ended, else null.

Return ONE JSON object with EXACTLY these top-level keys: surname, given_names, birth_year, education, honours, events, terminal. Split the headword into surname + given_names (no 'name'/'person' key). Each honour is {"award": str, "year": int|null} (no 'decoration'/'order' key).
