Little moth loves nuclear monster
Article Abstract:
The only breeding colony of the tiny Sussex Emerald moth in the UK is at Dungeness nuclear power station in Kent. Mark Parsons of the Joint Nature Conservation Committee and independent consultant Peter Kirby found 88 in 1991 and made plans for the moths to establish colonies elsewhere. It requires stony, partly-disturbed ground and suitable vegetation, but no-one knows the exact needs. In 1992 there were 500 Sussex Emeralds and in 1993, 1,400. The nuclear industry sponsors this research to appear environmentally aware.

The triangle? I'll have a bash
Article Abstract:
Playing with a full orchestra such as the London Philharmonic can be an overwhelming experience. The musicians generally seem relaxed, but are actually obliged to work extremely hard. In the percussion section, musicians are required to be able to play a number of different instruments, and seem to manage to do so very calmly. It can be a wonderful feeling when the orchestra is playing well together, with the musicians aware of themselves both as individuals and as part of a whole.
