In 1994, it waS followed by a Second book, ‘Finding ouR Way and ShaRing ouR StoRieS’ which, by contRaSt, waS compoSed of peRSonal StoRieS wRitten by women, Reflecting on theiR liveS in the light of theiR tRaditionS. TheSe bookS were able, between them, to give an overview of religious groups aS a whole, while alSo allowing individualS to Speak foR themSelveS, thuS challenging the Simple geneRaliSationS which can lead to SteReotyping. Twenty yeaRS later it is time to return to the task. ThiS ‘Sharing ouR StoRieS’ iS a collection of moRe than 50 peRSonal accountS by individualS, both men and women, of theiR liveS and theiR beliefS. Some have lived all theiR liveS in Suffolk, Some have Settled here foR various reasons and others have come here to work oR study. HoweveR, theiR StoRieS highlight Some of the expeRienceS and challenges that face everyone in our diverse society, including issues of gendeR, diSability, Race, peRSecution and diSplacement. It alSo RevealS the StRuggleS individualS may have in maintaining theiR integrity with regard to their faith and spirituality. People are often aSked to state theiR religious affiliation and some aRe happy to be categoRiSed in thiS way aS Bahá’íS, BuddhiStS, ChriStianS, HinduS, JainS, JewS, MuSlimS, PaganS, SikhS, TaoiSts and Zoroastrians (all represented in Suffolk). There are many others who see themselves aS outside these boxes and their voices can also be heard through these stories. The pRoceSS of collecting the aRticleS waS complicated by the fact that Some of the contRibutoRS became So abSoRbed in the taSk that they found themselves writing a full life story. Others had to be cajoled to get staRted! The result is a rich mix of articles of varying lengths and StyleS fRom people of diffeRent ageS and with many diffeRent backgrounds and roles in society. 1 AlongSide thiS anthology of individual StoRieS theRe iS an evolving collection of general articles about the faith communities of Suffolk, theiR hiStoRy, beliefS and pRacticeS, contempoRaRy conceRnS, placeS of woRShip and contact detailS. ThiS iS available on-line at www.sifre.org.uk SIFRE is grateful to all those who openly or anonymously give their time to work with us on our various projects. We thank the contributors to this anthology, those who have helped with the shaping of the material and especially Margaret Nelson for her extensive proof reading. We look forward to further co-operative work

  • Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015
    Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance August 2015 Joint Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council Landscape Guidance 2015 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The landscape of Babergh and Mid Suffolk (South and North Suffolk) is acknowledged as being attractive and an important part of why people choose to live and work here. However current pressures for development in the countryside, and the changing agricultural and recreational practices and pressures, are resulting in changes that in some instances have been damaging to the local character and distinctiveness of the landscape. 1.1.1 Some development is necessary within the countryside, in order to promote a sustainable prosperous and vibrant rural economy. However, such development would be counterproductive if it were to harm the quality of the countryside/landscape it is set within and therefore the quality of life benefits, in terms of health and wellbeing that come from a rural landscape in good condition.1 1.1.2 The Council takes the view that there is a need to safeguard the character of both districts countryside by ensuring new development integrates positively with the existing character. Therefore, a Landscape Guidance has been produced to outline the main elements of the existing character and to outline broad principles that all development in the countryside will be required to follow. 1.1.3 Well designed and appropriately located development in the countryside can capture the benefits of sustainable economic development whilst still retaining and enhancing valuable landscape characteristics, which are so important to Babergh and Mid Suffolk. 1.1.4 The protection and enhancement of both districts landscape is essential not only for the intrinsic aesthetic and historic value that supports tourism and the economy for the area but also to maintain the quality of life for the communities that live in the countryside.

And yet, the deeper this impression, the more inspiring this message, the more anxious we will be for some further information than that conveyed by the attached tablet, or the catalogue reference. The aim of this book is to gratify this desire, to enable us to have a better understanding of the works of art exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum, to point out their corelation, and thus increase our appreciation of the treasures we have seen and admired.

  • The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development
    THE SAXOPHONE IN CHINA: HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT Jason Pockrus Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Eric M. Nestler, Major Professor Catherine Ragland, Committee Member John C. Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pockrus, Jason. The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 222 pp., 12 figures, 1 appendix, bibliography, 419 titles. The purpose of this document is to chronicle and describe the historical developments of saxophone performance in mainland China. Arguing against other published research, this document presents proof of the uninterrupted, large-scale use of the saxophone from its first introduction into Shanghai’s nineteenth century amateur musical societies, continuously through to present day. In order to better describe the performance scene for saxophonists in China, each chapter presents historical and political context. Also described in this document is the changing importance of the saxophone in China’s musical development and musical culture since its introduction in the nineteenth century. The nature of the saxophone as a symbol of modernity, western ideologies, political duality, progress, and freedom and the effects of those realities in the lives of musicians and audiences in China are briefly discussed in each chapter. These topics are included to contribute to a better, more thorough understanding of the performance history of saxophonists, both native and foreign, in China.

The origin of the name Thorndon traces back to Old English meaning 'Thorn Hill', coming from 'þorn' meaning a hawthorn-tree and 'dūn' meaning a hill. The village has a strong farming heritage and was first mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086; it was described as ‘hill where thorn trees grow’ and had a recorded population of 46 with livestock consisting of 31 pigs, 2 cobs, 15 cattle and 24 sheep. By 1337 ownership of the village moved to Robert de Ufford who made his mark on the Manor by building All Saints’ Church; this became, and remains, a dominating feature in the area (listed as grade II since 1955). The first school in the village was built in 1833 for infants and was turned into a reformatory in 1856 by Sir Edward Kerrison. The current school was opened in 1873 and is built on the site of the Workhouse. The earliest records of Thorndon's population date back to 1811, with the total population being 580.
