  • Higher Barn Farm
    Higher Barn Farm The Farm is 19.41 Acres and 7.8 hectares set on a north facing field with magnificent views towards the Quantock Hills, Exmoor and the Welsh Brecon Beacon. The soil is silty clay loam, with almost 5% organic matter and a high level of Microbial activity. It is made up of two fields. The small farm has been farmed industrially for cereal crops via contractors for some years. The farm is just inside the Exmoor National Park area. Cerys, Amer, Bob and Anne are living there as an extended multi generational family with the two children Olive and Oak, and two further brothers and their families that might join in the project. The overall aim of the farm is to create a place where the whole family can live sustainably, where the children can be raised to learn about food and crafts. Whilst the aim is not to be 100% self sufficient the family would like to primarily provide for themselves and then sell surplus, and added value food like bread, and run courses to generate an income. This report and drawing is to suggest how the farm can be developed and managed to create a sustainable and abundant home, and livelihood for the family and for many other creatures. The Functions of the Farm have been identified as; To produce food To produce craft materials To produce fuel crops To be a learning centre for Ecology and regenerative agriculture and “Field to Fork courses” To generate income To provide a safe space for the family To support biodiversity To sequester carbon and be resilient in the face of climate change For play and recreation of the whole family THE SOIL The soil is a silty clay loam, with almost 5% organic matter.

  • Jack Clemo 1916-55: the Rise and Fall of the 'Clay Phoenix'
    1 Jack Clemo 1916-55: The Rise and Fall of the ‘Clay Phoenix’ Submitted by Luke Thompson to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English In September 2015 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 2 Abstract Jack Clemo was a poet, novelist, autobiographer, short story writer and Christian witness, whose life spanned much of the twentieth century (1916- 1994). He composed some of the most extraordinary landscape poetry of the twentieth century, much of it set in his native China Clay mining region around St Austell in Cornwall, where he lived for the majority of his life. Clemo’s upbringing was one of privation and poverty and he was famously deaf and blind for much of his adult life. In spite of Clemo’s popularity as a poet, there has been very little written about him, and his confessional self-interpretation in his autobiographical works has remained unchallenged. This thesis looks at Clemo’s life and writing until the mid-1950s, holding the vast, newly available and (to date) unstudied archive of manuscripts up against the published material and exploring the contrary narratives of progressive disease and literary development and success.

Box 208106, New Haven, Connecticut 06520 Communicating Editor: John V. Freudenstein ABSTRACT. The phylogeny of Cercis (Fabaceae) was estimated with DNA sequences of the nuclear ribosomal ITS region and the 39 end of the chloroplast gene ndhF. The combined analysis recovers three trees in which a well supported clade of North American and western Eurasian species is nested within a paraphyletic group of Chinese species. In the single most unambiguously resolved topology from these trees, C. canadensis from eastern North America is more closely related to C. siliquastrum from western Eurasia than to C. occidentalis from western North America. DIVA and character optimizations based on this topology suggest that the initial intercontinental divergence events in Cercis involved mesophytic ancestors. Subsequent inferred intercontinental divergence events involving xerophytic ancestors are consistent with the Madrean- Tethyan hypothesis, which postulates an early Tertiary ¯oristic link between the arid regions of western North America and western Eurasia. Calibration of branch lengths with the fossil record suggests that the North American and western Eurasian lineages diverged between 6 and 32 million years ago.

Norse shielings in Scotland: An interdisciplinary study of setr/sætr and ærgi-names Ryan Foster Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh 2018 Abstract This is a study of the Old Norse (hereafter abbreviated to ON) setr/sætr and ærgi place-names in areas of Scandinavian settlement in Scotland. The elements setr/sætr and ærgi all have a general meaning of a place for summer grazing in the hills, referred to in Scotland as a shieling. However, the related terms setr and sætr, are employed as shielings names in Norway and are indistinguishable from each other in Britain. It is only in areas of Scandinavian settlement in Britain and the Faroes that ærgi is found to signify a shieling site.

  • Japansese Beetle Potential Host Range
    Japanese Beetle Potential Host Range in California D. G. Kelch, Ph.D. Primary Botanist, California Department of Food and Agriculture Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica Newman) is a species introduced into North America that has spread widely throughout the eastern United States. In this area, infestations have proven extremely damaging to horticultural and agricultural plants. Yearly costs for management and mitigation of damage are estimated at US$500 million (USDA 2007). In addition, areas infested with Japanese beetle can be quarantined by trading partners, resulting in losses to farmers and nursery growers mounting into the millions of dollars per year (National Plant Board 2007; Smith et al. 1996). Japanese Beetle is not yet fully established in California, but recent detections in Sacramento County have raised concerns and triggered control activities by agencies tasked with protecting plants from pests. Japanese beetles have a broad range of host plants. The list of plants used as hosts by Japanese beetle contains more than 300 species (Potter & Held 2002). Because the focus has been on Japanese beetle attacks in gardens and lawns, the host list is dominated by garden plants. Most of the information on host susceptibility to Japanese beetle originated from a landmark survey summariZed by Fleming (1972). This rating system was based on written and oral accounts of Japanese beetle feeding damage noted from 1920 through 1963 primarily in the New England area (Fleming 1972). Although poorly documented, there is little doubt that Japanese beetle can attack many other species of plants not included on the host list (Miller et al., 2001; Potter & Held 2002).
