  • Spirit of Africa
    FULL SCORE Spirit of Africa For Soprano Soloist, SATB Choir and Chamber Orchestra Photo: David Fanshawe, East Africa Music: Liz Lane Words: Jennifer Henderson Spirit of Africa Programme note Spirit of Africa is written as a companion piece to David Fanshawe’s African Sanctus and is inspired by the colours and symbolic meanings of the flags of Egypt, Sudan, Uganda and Kenya, the countries visited by David during his travels recording music for African Sanctus in 1969-1973. The words and music of the five movements trace a journey through the day, with the colour white for daybreak mist, green for morning freshness, red for midday heat, gold for sunset and black for night; each with its own mood and character, hopes and fears. Spirit of Africa is dedicated to David and his wife Jane. Liz Lane and Jennifer Henderson, May 2012 www.lizlane.co.uk 1. Promise of daybreak veiled in the early mist, hidden in shadows that cling to the night; Earth turning slowly toward a new journey into the morning, unknown, beyond sight. Birdsong dispelling the silence of waiting, lifting the darkness with wings taking flight; spray from the waterfall showering diamonds, carving the rock face with ribbons of white. Sweet is the air in the breath of the morning, spirit of purity, radiant light! 2. Dance, my friends, dance with the Earth, dance with the spring time of the year’s rebirth; dance with the sunshine, dance with the breeze, dance with the butterflies, dance with the bees. Sing, my friends, sing with the hills, sing with the river the rain cloud fills; sing with the green grass, sing with the trees, sing with the birds and the fish in the seas.

  • Türkiye Ve Avrupa Birliğinde Küçükbaş Hayvan Yetiştiriciliğinde Örgütlenme
    U. Ü. ZİRAAT FAKÜLTESİ DERGİSİ, 2009, Cilt 23, Sayı 2, 79-95 (Journal of Agricultural Faculty of Uludag University) Türkiye ve Avrupa Birliğinde Küçükbaş Hayvan Yetiştiriciliğinde Örgütlenme Oktay Gürsoy1 1Çukurova Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Zootekni Bölümü, Adana e-mail: [email protected] Özet: Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinde küçükbaş hayvancılık sektöründe örgütlenme gerek yüksek damızlık değere sahip hayvanların eldesi amacıyla damızlık yetiştiriciler birliği, gerekse girdilerini ucuza temin etmek, ürünlerini hakça fiyatlara değerlendirmek, sivil toplum örgütü olarak baskı potansiyeline sahip olmak amaçlı yetiştiriciler birliği veya kooperatifi şeklindedir. Bu örgütlerin geçmişi Büyük Britanya İmparatorluğunda 18. yüzyıl başına dayanmakta olup, günümüzde benzer yapılanma Avrupa Birliği, Amerika, Kanada, Avustralya ve Yeni Zelanda’da çok yaygındır. Ülkemizde tarımsal örgütlenmenin geçmişi çok yakındır ve bunun içinde de örgütlenmenin en düşük olduğu sektörler koyun ve keçi yetiştiriciliğidir. Örgütlenmenin yararları hakkında bilgi sahibi olmayan ve son derece geleneksel bir üretim yapısına sahip olan bu sektörlerin sürdürülebilirliği beklenemez ve bu kaçınılmaz süreç 1980 yıllarından beri çok hızlı bir biçimde işleyerek koyun ve keçi varlıklarında sırası ile % 45 ve % 65 lik düşüşlere neden olmuştur. Koyun ve keçi yetiştiriciliğinin desteklenmesi, Avrupa Birliği ülkelerine (EU/CAP, No:2529/2001; CAP REFORMU 2003) göre çok düşük düzeylerde, ülkemizde süt sığırcılığına göre son derece önemsiz destekleri içermektedir. Avrupa Birliği’nin 1962 yılında başlattığı CAP (Ortak Tarım Politikaları) desteğinin hareket noktası, koyun ve keçi yetiştiricilerinin, tarımın diğer kesimlerine göre çok düşük düzeylerde yıllık gelirlere sahip olmaları ve bu sektörlerin kayıplarını karşılayarak bulundukları yörelerde tutmaktır. Bu uygulama, yetiştiricilerin kırsaldan kente göçünü ve onun beraberinde getirdiği sosyo-ekonomik sorunları baştan durdurmak ve küçükbaş hayvancılığın çok özel ve kıymetli ürünlerinin üretimini sürdürülebilir kılmaktır.

  • AFRICAN SANCTUS Für Sopran, Chor, Instrumentalensemble Und Tonband Yvonne Friedli • Ölberg-Chor • Ingo Schulz Livemitschnitt Vom 19
    David Fanshawe (*1942) AFRICAN SANCTUS für Sopran, Chor, Instrumentalensemble und Tonband Yvonne Friedli • Ölberg-Chor • Ingo Schulz www.emmaus.de Livemitschnitt vom 19. u. 20.5.2006, Emmaus-Kirche, Berlin-Kreuzberg „One World, one Music“ David Fanshawe (*1942): African Sanctus für Sopran, Chor, Instrumentalensemble und Tonband David Fanshawe ist Komponist, Forscher, Musikethnologe, Fotograf und Autor. Er hat zahlreiche internationale Auszeichnungen erhalten. Begonnen hat seine Karriere mit der Filmmontage, später dann wandte er sich am Royal College of Music mit John Lambert dem Studium der Komposition zu. 1970 fand er internationale Anerkennung mit Salaams, einem Werk, das auf Rhythmen der Perlenfischer von Bahrain aufbaut. Andere Konzertstücke: Fantasy on Dover Castle, Requiem for the Children of Aberfan, The Awakening, Dona Nobis Pacem. Neben Gesangsstücken hat er auch die Filmmusik für über 30 Filme und TV-Produktionen komponiert. Eine geglückte Mischung aus Musik und Reisen prägt seine sehr eigenen Werke. Seiner 10 Jahre dauernden Odyssee durch die Inseln des Pazifischen Ozeans verdanken wir unzählige Filme, Dias und handgeschriebene Hefte, die uns die Musik und mündlich überlieferten Traditionen Polynesiens, Mikronesiens und Melanesiens vermitteln. Heute lebt er in Wiltshire / Großbritannien................................ African Sanctus ist eine unorthodoxe Fassung der lateinischen Messe, in Einklang gebracht mit traditioneller afrikanischer Musik, die der Komponist auf seinen Nilreisen (1969-1973) aufgenommen hat. David Fanshawe reiste 1960 das erste Mal nach Afrika. Ihn bewegte die Idee, ein großes Werk zu komponieren, das seine Liebe zum Reisen, zum Abenteuer und zur Tonbanddokumentation vereinen sollte..................... In Kairo, auf dem Hügel der Zitadelle stehend und über den Nil blickend, hatte er zum ersten Mal die Vorstellung einer ungewöhnlichen Kombination von westlicher Chormusik mit dem Gebetsruf des islamischen Muezzin.

  • SLEEPING in EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK ITINERARY Itinerary
    SLEEPING IN EVEREST BASE CAMP TREK ITINERARY Taking the journey to the base of the World’s highest peak, with our award-winning team, will be the highlight of any trekkers career! Our unique itinerary includes extra acclimatization at the critical point as well as 4 guides for every group of ten trekkers. The journey in the Everest Region, also known as the Solukhumbu Region, begins in the small village of Lukla. From here, the total distance to Everest Base Camp and back is just over 82 miles or 132km, covering over 6,000m/ 20,000 feet of elevation. This makes this spectacular journey to Mount Everest a challenging and rewarding experience. This trek should not be taken lightly. When going to these levels of altitude, your body’s acclimatization to the lack of oxygen is the real key to success, and because of this, we have added an extra day to our itinerary, which has given us 95% success rate. This also gives you a safer and more enjoyable experience into high altitude. We will also cover the daily distances on the trail at a very slow and steady pace, to aid the acclimatization process. Even though we are giving you the best chance of success with our acclimatization schedule, you still need to play your part and come physically prepared for this adventure. We recommend 5 to 6 days a week training in the lead up to your trip. We are your best resource for information on the trek and are available five days a week in support of your journey to Everest Base Camp.

  • Blackrock Trek Everest Base Camp
    Blackrock trek Everest Base Camp Pass through breathtaking mountain scenery, original Buddhist carvings and the legendary monastery of the Tengboche, and experience day-to-day life on the world’s tallest mountain! actionchallenge on Everest The Everest Base Camp challenge takes us through some of the most breathtaking mountain scenery the world has to offer! It’s an incredible sixteen day adventure, which will only keep you out of the office for ten days! We follow the contours of valleys along glacial rivers, we trek up through stunning rhododendron forests and pass through some of the highest villages on earth. The spirit of the mountains is intertwined with the spirit of the Sherpa people; colourful prayer flags flutter in the wind, prayer wheels spin and intricately carved mani stones line our route. From high above Namche we watch the sun rise over the snow capped peaks of the Himalayan giants, at night we see the mountain of Nuptse bathed in the ethereal light of the full moon and from Kala Patthar we catch an awe-inspiring view of the summit of Everest. As we ascend above the tree line the expedition buzz is palpable. Team spirit and determination drives us along the Khumbu glacier to reach the hallowed ground of mountaineers, Everest Base Camp. Standing on the roof of the world is an incredible shared moment that will last a lifetime. This is a true challenge that bonds us together and, back in Kathmandu, we enjoy a special dinner to celebrate our incredible journey to Everest, the greatest mountain on earth.

  • Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile
    Aylesbury Vale North Locality Profile Prevention Matters Priorities The Community Links Officer (CLO) has identified a number of key Prevention Matters priorities for the locality that will form the focus of the work over the next few months. These priorities also help to determine the sort of services and projects where Prevention Matters grants can be targeted. The priorities have been identified using the data provided by the Community Practice Workers (CPW) in terms of successful referrals and unmet demand (gaps where there are no appropriate services available), consultation with district council officers, town and parish councils, other statutory and voluntary sector organisations and also through the in depth knowledge of the cohort and the locality that the CLO has gained. The CLO has also worked with the other CLOs across the county to identify some key countywide priorities which affect all localities.
