Objectives and scope of this document The purpose of this conceptual framework (CF) is to set the scene for AIDA, to provide a common basis for the various work packages, as well as for other stakeholders attached to or involved in AIDA. It reviews (i) the hazard, vulnerability, risk (HVR) and disaster situation in Africa as a whole, (ii) their scale, distribution and consequences, (iii) the various players in disaster risk management (DRM), (iv) existing policies and approaches with respect to international initiatives such as the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), and (v) provides a set of definitions for terms and concepts used. It further addresses the role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Africa, and provides an inventory of international hazard monitoring systems that are aimed at or include Africa, tools for data and information generation, management and dissemination, as well as significant DRM initiatives originating on the continent and with regional or continental scale. In addition to WP1 deliverable 1.0.1., the Conceptual Framework, the document includes a thorough Information resources review as deliverable 1.0.3. Disaster management, in itself a controversial idiom, is strongly characterised by terms being used interchangeably and incorrectly. This has to be avoided for a project that will provide valuable information on the status of HVR in Africa, and the utility

In the Sjiring of igo8, the Council of the Royal Piorticultural Society appointed a Committee to consider the subject, and as a result of its labours all known Daffodils were divided into Seven Classes, and a Classified List was published in the same }ear. This method of Classihcation failed to meet A with general acceptance, and numerous modifications were suggested, conse- quently the Council reappointed the Committee, in 1909, to further consider the matter, with the result that the system of Classification now put forward by the authority' of the Royal Horti- cultural Society was arranged. In 1915 the Leedsii Class (R^) was sub-divided to bring it into line with the Incom- parabilis and Barrii Classes.

  • Literature As Opera
    LITERATURE AS OPERA ----;,---- Gary ,c1)midgall New York OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 1977 Notes to Pages 3-1 I Chapter One r. Joseph Desaymard, Emmanuel Charier cl'apres ses lettres (1934), p. 119. The letter was probably written in 1886. a. Michel de Chabanon, De la musique considerie en elle-meme et dans ses rapports avec la parole, les langues, la poe'sie, et le theatre (1785), p. 6. 3. One good reason to avoid a law-giving approach to the question of what is operatic is simply that the legislative record of writers on opera is not very encouraging, even those writers who speak from practical experience. Con- sider these pronouncements: Wieland: "Plays whose action requires a lot of political arguments, or in which the characters are forced to deliver lengthy speeches in order to convince one another by the strength of their reasons or the flow of their rhetoric, should, accordingly, be altogether excluded from the lyrical stage." Tchaikovsky: "Operatic style should be broad, simple, and decorative." R. Strauss: "Once there's music in a work, I want to be the master, I don't want it to be subordinate to anything else. That's too humble. I don't say that poetry is inferior to music. But the true poetic dramas—Schiller, Goethe, Shakespeare—are self-sufficient; they don't need music." Adorno: "It has never been possible for the quality of music to be indif- ferent to the quality of the text with which it is associated; works such as Mozart's Cosi fan tutte and Weber's Euryanthe try to overcome the weak- nesses of their libretti through music but nevertheless are not to be salvaged by any literary or theatrical means." All these statements have at least two things in common.
