  • V&A Acquires the Glastonbury Festival Archive
    V&A acquires the Glastonbury Festival Archive The V&A is delighted to announce a collaboration with Glastonbury Festival to create an archive reflecting more than 40 years of diverse and creative performance. Glastonbury Festival is the longest-running popular music and performing arts festival in the world. Set up in 1970 by Michael Eavis on Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset – the Eavis’s family farm for four generations - the Festival is now attended by around 175,000 people annually. It has a long and unique history of hosting music, dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and other arts and collaborating with artists, set designers and craftspeople. Many distinguished names have performed at the summer festival over the last four decades including Beyoncé, Bjork, Blondie, Marc Bolan, Coldplay, The Cure, Jay-Z, Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, New Order, Oasis, Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, Toots and the Maytals, Velvet Underground and Amy Winehouse. This eclectic archive includes a range of material, from programmes and posters from every festival since 1970, designs for the Festival identity, interviews, unseen film and photographs, correspondence, t-shirts, tickets and other memorabilia. Personal accounts and documents trace the origins of the Festival and festival maps reveal how it has grown and developed within the landscape. Press cuttings document the relationship of the Festival with the local community and stories that captured the nation. The working processes of the Festival will be captured in the archive with original backstage passes, photographs and performers’ set-lists. The archive also includes photographs that reveal the evolution of the legendary Pyramid stage since its creation in 1971 to a permanent stage – also briefly used as a cattle shed in 1981.

  • Fire Along the Transition Between the Amazon Forest and Cerrado
    Fire Along the Transition Between the Amazon Forest and the Cerrado Ecosystems1 Gustavo Hees de Negreiros23, David Sandberg4, Ernesto Alvarado5, Thomas Hinckley4, Daniel C. Nepstad6, and Marcos Pereira7 ABSTRACT Most of the fires in Amazonia happen along an arc of deforestation, which generally follows the transition between the Amazon evergreen forests and the savannas (cerrado). The evergreen primary forest acts as a giant fire break, while the cerrado has adapted to frequent fires. The transitional zone between these two ecosystems is a fragile boundary controlled by very dynamic ecosystem processes. It is also an area with heavy pressures from human settlements that use fire as a way to clear and manage the land. Canopy disturbance of the primary forest due to increased selective logging and deforestation, along with extended droughts, alters the hydrological equilibrium of this ecosystem and therefore, the ecotone. High temperatures and very low relative humidity in disturbed stands increase the flammability of the primary forest. The deep rooting systems have an important role in supplying water during the dry season. As precipitation decreases, the primary forest is able to tap deep soil water; however, if the water supply is interrupted during an exceptionally dry year, the vegetation can dry and suffer leaf loss. Light penetration then increases, fuel moisture decreases, and fuels become dangerously flammable. This paper presents the main ideas of a fire susceptibility model that is being developed for the region. Key words: Fire, Forest Savanna Ecotone, Water Stress, Rooting Depth, GIS, Modeling, Tropics, Brazil. I - INTRODUCTION Fire and tropical rain forest are topics that seem unrelated; however today most of world’s vegetation fires occur in the tropical and subtropical regions (Goldammer and Manan 1996).

  • My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Last Sunday, As I Was Walking out Of
    Homily for the Diocesan Youth Conference Carlinville The Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year A March 1, 2014 + Most Reverend Thomas John Paprocki Bishop of Springfield in Illinois My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, last Sunday, as I was walking out of a restaurant in Chicago, the hostess made a comment about all of the negative things that are happening in the world. She lamented the fact that the news is filled with story after story about bad things. She even asked the question with a bit of despair in her voice: “What’s happening to this world?!?” Such a reaction is not uncommon particularly among older people as they see the values that were so dominant in their earlier years seemingly being overturned in the younger generations. As a result, many of these people have a less than optimistic outlook regarding the future and may even be critical of young people in general. It is, of course, unfair to make such generalizations about young people. In fact, many young people share these views. A Rasmussen poll this week had only 32% of those polled saying the country is headed in the right direction, with 61% saying 2 we’re on the wrong track. A Gallup poll in December had only 39% of respondents saying that they saw America in a positive position, with less than half thinking it will be better in five years.1 We cannot be blind to the fact that there are some elements of truth in these observations, elements which should cause each of us, young and old, to consider how we should respond to these challenges in our world.

  • The Passionate Puritan Mary Jane Mander Was Born in Ramarama, a Small Settlement Near Auckland, in 1877
    The Passionate Puritan mary jane mander was born in Ramarama, a small settlement near Auckland, in 1877. The daughter of pioneering parents, she led an itinerant childhood, her father’s kauri-milling business taking the family to various parts of the far north of New Zealand. Although much of her adult life was spent in New York and London, the far north was the enduring source of inspiration for her fiction, begin- ning with The Story of a New Zealand River (1920). This first novel examines the life and marriage of an Englishwoman transplanted to a timber-milling settlement on the banks of the Otamatea River. Poorly received in New Zealand at the time, it is now popular and widely recognized as one of the important founding classics of New Zealand literature. The Passionate Puritan (1921), The Strange Attraction (1922) and Allen Adair (1925) quickly followed. This quartet of novels portrays New Zealand pioneer society with an attentive realism and seriousness of purpose that no compatriot before her had sustained at such length. Together they constitute one of our most lively and accessible records of the colonial period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Mander’s last two novels, The Besieging City (1926) and Pins and Pinnacles (1928), are set in New York and London respectively. Fluent and professional works, they nevertheless lack the intrinsic interest of Mander’s efforts to capture her own country in prose, and are now generally regarded as a coda to her writing career. She returned to New Zealand in 1932, but never managed to write another novel.
