Summer 2008 Free SUMMER 2008 FREE One Fell Swoop Charmouth Challenge 2008 by Colin Pring picture courtesy Whatgoat Once again, July is here and the highlight of the month has to be the Annual Charmouth Challenge, Fun Run and Fete all organised in aid of Charmouth School Funds. The Challenge is the most southerly fell race in the UK and includes a lung bursting ascent of 190metre- high Golden Cap which is the highest point on the South Coast and rewards competitors with breathtaking views of the Jurassic Coastline. In 2007 the Challenge was praised by local resident Gordon Hathway in The Fellrunner magazine - the gritty northern fell runners bible in an article describing fell-type running possibilities in the softy south - The jewel has to be the Charmouth to Golden Cap Challenge, which is a registered fell race graded BM, held in July every year and even blessed with a village fete at the venue in true Lakeland style. The race is organised in accordance with the requirements of the Fell Runners Association and it forms part of the Running Clubs League Annual Calendar of events, attracting runners from all over the UK, with many returning year after year. However, few could hope to match the current record holder Alec Woods whose astonishing winning time in 2000 was 48.44 minutes for the 7.7 mile course continued on centre pages From The Editor Summer afternoon -- summer afternoon.....the two I'm sure you will all join me in wishing Sisters Annmarie most beautiful words in the English language, said and Isabel good luck and bon voyage when they move Edith Wharton in 1934.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

Introduction The aim of this project is to identify ways to safeguard important scientific fossils from the Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site. The identification of placements in accredited museums would enable intellectual access for scientific study and education. Two consulting companies Weightman Associates and Hidden Horizons have been commissioned to undertake this Project. Weightman Associates is a partnership of Gill Weightman and Alan Weightman; they have been in partnership for twenty years working on museum and geology projects. Hidden Horizons Ltd is a museum and heritage consultancy formed in 2013 by Will Watts. When UNESCO granted World Heritage status to the Dorset and East Devon Coast in 2001 it recognised the importance of the Site’s geology and geomorphology. The Jurassic Coast Management Plan 2014-2019 has as one of its aims to “To Conserve and enhance the Site and its setting for science, education and public enjoyment” and the Plan states that a critical success factor is “An increase in the number of scientifically important fossils found along the site that are acquired by or loaned back to local accredited museums”.

  • Coastal Defence
    Dorset Marine and Coastal Topic Paper Series 2010 Coastal Defence Dorset has a dynamic coastline: in the past, uninterrupted coastal processes created some of its most beautiful and important features . However, the issue of coastal retreat in this area was first recorded in 1366 at Highcliffe. Erosion and flooding by the sea are hazardous to property and infrastructure on the coast, and so there will always be demands for coastal defence works to protect property. This will mean that natural processes are inevitably interrupted. Data regarding climate change and sea level rise (SLR) suggest that these natural processes will accelerate during the 21st century and this will place greater pressure on both available finances and engineering solutions. Balancing the desire to protect property whilst maintaining the integrity of the natural coast requires creative engineering solutions, and difficult decisions have to be made about where and how to protect. • Coast protection works which protect the processes in neighbouring coastal against erosion. This is where the process units. land behind the works is higher than Sediment cell is a term frequently used any expected tidal flooding level. with regards to Shoreline Management These works are carried out under the Plans.

This was a joint field trip with the Dorset branch of the Geologists’ Association and was led by local expert, Alan Holiday. We planned to walk east along the coast from the Smugglers Inn as far as Ringstead. In this section, we were looking at the Upper Jurassic Corallian succession, Diagram 1 , from the Nothe Clay upwards. These rocks date at about 145 million years ago and were deposited Figure 7: A few individual examples on the north-east when Britain was in Mediterranean latitudes, side of Pavey Ark about 35°N.
