Within the last decade, music festivals have grown into a major moneymaker in a competitive industry that sees hundreds of such events each year in the U.S. There are the big ones – Coachella, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Governors Ball – with big-ticket prices, multiple stages, camping options and nearly endless lists of performers. And alongside their rise in popularity, hundreds of smaller, niche or genre-specific festivals have flourished. Look up “music festival near me,” and you‟re likely to find one within at least a few hours‟ drive.

 

The origins of music festivals date back to ancient Greece, where such events often involved competitions in music, arts and sports. Modern music festivals in the U.S. grew out of the establishment and ethos of Woodstock. Though it was not the first event of its kind (the Newport Folk and Jazz Festivals, Milwaukee‟s Summerfest and the Monterey Pop Festival predate Woodstock), the 1969 event holds a mythical place within American pop-cultural history. Festivals have since evolved from the DIY, communal spirit of Woodstock, growing into mainstream businesses that reap profits and embrace corporate sponsorships, as more than 32 million people attend them each year, according to Billboard. Coachella, one of the most popular festivals in the country, grossed $114.6 million in 2017, setting a major record for the first recurring festival franchise to earn more than $100 million.

 

“They used to be more of a communion of culture,” says Carlos Chirinos, a professor of clinical music and global health at New York University. “A group of people who were into the same type of music, they would come together. That was the driving force throughout the 1970s and 1980s until it became a profitable format.” [...]

 

For artists, appearing at music festivals is an easier way to make money than depending on record sales or long tours, says Rishi Bahl, a musician and marketing professor at La Roche College in Pittsburgh, Pa. As record sales saw a steep decline in the early-to mid-2000s thanks to the growth of digital music, artists began depending on touring to earn money. Bahl says festival organizers quickly caught on to the spike in artists taking to the road and decided to pay them more to appear at their events. He notes that the majority of the touring schedule for a band like the Offspring, which played Woodstock ‟99, now consists of festival performances. Of the 20 shows the Offspring is playing the remainder of this year, about 15 are at music festivals. [...]

Butatan Institute – Working for Brazilian lives

Instituto Butantan supplies the Brazilian public health system with 90% of the antivenin and 65% of all vaccines distributed in the country. Out of the 170 million doses of vaccines dispensed annually by the Brazilian immunization program, 100 million are produced Butantan.

 

In particular, Institute Butantan manufactures 100% of the influenza vaccine doses used by the Ministry of Health. Presently, we are the largest flu vaccine manufacturer in the Southern Hemisphere.

 

The current manufacturing capacity is the result of an internal development of processes to obtain vaccine antigens, as well as technology transfer processes and Productive Development Partnerships between Butantan and external Laboratories.

    Humans may need to “wait for decades” to see the results of large emission cuts on global surface temperatures, scientists have said. Researchers in Norway used computer simulations to analyse various scenarios that looked at the effects of rapid reductions in several types of greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane.

    They found that although large-scale emission cuts are needed to achieve the global climate goals, it may take decades before the effects of the reductions on temperatures can be measured.

The researchers estimated that even for the most optimistic scenarios, it will take at least 15 years to establish the impact of emission cuts on climate change.

    Bjorn H Samset, of the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research (Cicero) in Oslo, said: “Humaninduced climate change can be compared with a tank ship at high speed and in big waves. If you want the ship to slow down, you will put the engine in reverse, but it will take some time before you start noticing that the ship is moving more slowly. It will also rock back and forth because of the waves.
