Wayne Barrington was a tenured member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for ten years and held positions with the LA Philharmonic, Pittsburgh Symphony, and San Antonio Symphony. He was an early member of the Chicago Brass Ensemble and a founding member of the LA Brass. While performing in these major orchestras and brass quintets, Barrington played alongside many notable musicians including Philip Farkas, Forrest Standley, Arnold Jacobs, Bud Herseth, Frank Crisafulli, Miles Anderson, Roger Bobo, David Krebhiel, and Christopher Leuba. Many of these musicians mentioned have received recognition in books and dissertations for their achievements as performers and pedagogues. Barrington, however, has not. Barrington was also a founding member and secretary of ICSOM, the International Conference of Symphony and Orchestra musicians. This organization helped improve the working conditions for musicians by creating transparency of orchestra salaries and giving musicians throughout the United States and Canada a say in ratifying their contracts. After Barrington's years as a symphonic musician, he transitioned from a full-time performer to a full-time pedagogue and taught for over three decades at the University of Texas at Austin, and several of his students went on to have successful careers of their own. His impressive career and influence are noteworthy. This lecture and the accompanying dissertation serve to pay tribute to the life and career of Wayne Barrington by offering a biography of his professional playing positions, union activism, teaching philosophy, and impact on several of his colleagues and students.

Thesis (MDiv) -- Stellenbosch University, 2002. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Willow Creek is 'n kerk wat alreeds die afgelope paar jaar die kerk aan die gons het. Ek wil amper sover gaan om die stigting van die Willow Creek model as 'n tweede reformasie te beskou, veral te midde van die drastiese teruggrype na die Nuwe Testamentiese kerk. Nes Martin Luther het Bill Hybels ook 'n stap van geloof geneem, en 'iets nuuts' begin wat anders was as waaraan almal gewoond was, om 'n gemeenskap van gelowiges op te rig wat leef volgens die beginsels waarvolgens die vroee kerk geleef het. Net soos wat Hybels besefhet dat die ongelowiges op 'n sensitiewe manier geevangeliseer moet word, so het Luther ook die opmerking gemaak dat diegene wie se geloof aan dade gekoppel is, teruggelei moet word na die geloof, soos wat jy 'n siek persoon sou begelei, dus baie versigtig. Hy kon maar net sowel die woord 'sensitief gebruik het. Haendler ( 1981 :28) stel dit soos volg: In his "Treatise on good works" Luther declared, "Therefore, we must not despise those of little faith who cling to their ceremonies and perform them as though they were lost in their faith without them. They would gladly do right and learn better, but they are as yet unable to grasp it all. Instead one should blame their ignorant, blind teachers, who have never taught them what faith is, and have led them so deeply into works. " The responsibility for these abuses is therefore that of the ministers rather than the congregation. Luther drew the following pastoral conclusion: "One should gently lead them back to faith in their good time, as one would treat a sick person. " Dus is ek van mening dat beide Hybels en Luther binne hulle konteks bedienaars is en was van die boodskap wat hulle glo en geglo het, relevant vir hulle samelewing is en was. Carron ( 2000:51) beskryfWillow Creek as een van 'n aantal posttradisionele kerke, wat in duidelike kontras teenoor die konvensionele kerke staan. Kenmerke wat Carron aan hierdie posttradisionele kerke toeskryf, stem baie ooreen met Willow Creek t.o.v. sy Soekersensitiewe kerkmodel, en die inligting wat ek daaroor verskaf oorvleuel wel. Carroll stel die kenmerke van 'n posttradisionele kerk soos volg: Groot getalle in vergelyking met die Protestantse kerke Gewilligheid om eeue-oue tradisies prys te gee, met 'n Bybelse uitgangspunt as rede Teologiese konserwatisme, sonder om fundamentalisties te raak Tekort aan denominale bande Sterk, entrepreneuriese leierskap, ondersteun deur opgeleide personeel, met baie klem op leke-oefening van geestelike gawes Het 'n spesifieke doel, vera! t.o.v. die identifisering van maniere om 'n spesifieke gehoor aan te spreek Getrou daaraan om lede te lei tot toegewyde dissipels van Christus Geboue wat geen ooreenkomste toon met tradisionele kerke nie, en wat gelee is om mense van 'n streek te trek, en nie net 'n spesifieke gemeenskap nie. Vermyding van die meeste tradisionele en klassieke vorme van kerkmusiek, om eerder kontemporere musiek in die kerk in te bring. Kleredrag is informeel Dienste is uiters profesioneel, en daar word geen druk op besoekers geplaas nie. Groot klem op kleingroepe. Geleenthede vir lede om betrokk:e te raak by 'n verskeidenheid bedieninge, veral op plaaslike vlak. Verwag 'n hoe vlak van toewyding van diegene wat aansluit, wat gepaard gaan met toewyding aan uitmuntendheid t.o.v. die bedieninge. Wat ek met hierdie studie poog, is om 'n verkennende analise te maak, in sover moontlik volgens die formaat soos deur Hendriks (1992: 134) voorgehou. Die motivering agter hierdie studie is die vraag na werkbare bedieningsvorme binne die N. G Kerk tradisie, omrede daar 'n afname in lidmaat getalle is, en diegene wat nie meer kerk toe gaan nie, terug 'gelok' moet word, sonder om hulle weg te jaag. Juis omrede Willow Creek so suksesvol is om ongelowiges te evangeliseer, en dit 'n taak is waarna die N.G Kerk ernstig sal moet terugkeer, kan daar by Willow Creek geleer word ten opsigte van hulle funksionering. Wat ek dus in hierdie studie doen, is om eerstens te gaan kyk na die geskiedenis van Willow Creek, waar die kerk vandaan kom, en die groeipyne wat die kerk ervaar het. Hierdie afdeling is vir my van uiterste belang, omrede die feit dat jy nie iemand regtig ken indien jy nie weet waarvandaan hy kom nie. Dus, om vir Willow Creek te analiseer, moet jy weet waarvandaan die kerk kom, en wie die kerk is. Die daaropvolgende hoofstuk handel oor die Soekersensitiewe model waarvolgens Willow Creek funksioneer, ingesluit al die areas binne die kerk wat daardeur geaffekteer word, asook die gevare en voordele van hierdie model. In die laaste hoofstuk gee ek die feitelike data en gegewens weer t.o.v. wat Willow Creek hied, en wie die kerk is. Dit sluit in wat die kerk t.o.v. homself se, wie die kerk is en waarvoor die kerk staan, asook alle geleenthede waar lidmate betrokke kan raak. Laastens toon ek die opset en ligging d.m.v. kaarte aan.

Burraga Swamp is a small enclosed basin at 985 m altitude in Barrington Tops, in the Eastern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. It lies in the midst of a Nothofagus moorei cool temperate rainforest, which is at its southern limits here. The swamp is close to the boundaries between temperate rainforest, subtropical rainforest, sclerophyll forest and sub-alpine formations and may be a sensitive recorder of past changes in the vegetation. The palynology and the sediments have been studied to a depth of 6.5 metres and were dated with eleven 14C dates. The base of the sediment is about 40,000 years old. The results showed the following: From 40,000-30,000 years BP, Burraga was a lake with a very slow rate of deposition of fine grained sediments and flourishing aquatic/swamp vegetation. The dryland vegetation was an open or sparsely treed grassland/herbfield. From 30,000-21,000 years BP, the dryland vegetation remained much the same, but the aquatic vegetation disappeared. From 21,000-17,000 years BP, sandy sediments were deposited at an accelerated rate in a relatively shallow lake, culminating in a layer of gravelly sand. The vegetation was a treeless grassland between about 21,000 and 15,000 years BP. After 17,000 years BP, the rate of sediment accumulation slowed and after 15,000 years, some mesic elements appeared. Dicksonia antarctica became prominent between about 13,000 and 12,000 years BP and Nothofagus was consistently present after about 11,500 years BP. Peat deposition started about 6,500 years BP. By 6,000 years BP the cool temperate rainforest was fully developed, remaining on the site until the present. These changes suggest that the climate at 40,000 years BP was drier than the present, becoming drier and reaching maximum aridity about 17,000 years BP, when temperatures were also at their lowest. Subsequently, the temperature increased and around 15,000 years BP the climate became wetter. Maximum moistures and temperatures were reached between about 9,000 and 5,000 years BP. The climate then varied until it reached the present. Burraga extends the record of treeless vegetation over most of southeastern Australia, during the last glacial maximum, to more northerly localities than previously known.
