Dolly Parton due to dominate Glastonbury

By -
Parton also tweeted earlier on Sunday: "We promise y'all a Tennessee welcome!" Dolly Parton says she's written a song about the mud especially for her Glastonbury debut. The country singer and cultural icon is due to take the stage at 16:20 BST, and says she'll play for just over an hour. " I grew up in mud," she told reporters in a pre-show press conference. "My daddy was a farmer, I grew up in East Tennessee and we made our living on a farm, so I thought, 'Well this isn't all that different'." She added: "Mud is mud, wherever you are." Fans will be expecting hits including 9 to 5, I Will Always Love You and Coat of Many Colors. The English National Ballet made their debut Glastonbury performance earlier on Sunday Festival-goers came well prepared for the mudbath Kasabian are headlining the festival on Sunday evening But the 68-year-old said she had struggled to write the set list."It was kinda tricky knowing what to do under a festival situation because in my show, as a rule, I usually do a couple of hours but they said, 'You can't do but an hour, maybe an hour and ten.' "So I thought, I can't do a bunch of sad, slow songs because everyone's drunk and high. "There's two or three songs they have to hear, like Coat of Many Colors. But we've tried to do a set where we can keep it movin' pretty good, and not bring 'em down too much." A flashmob, or "Dollymob" as it is being called, has been planned for her performance of Jolene. Fans have been encouraged to learn the simple dance routine, which Glastonbury organisers posted on YouTube last month. The singer also revealed she would bring out Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora to play a cover of Lay Your Hands On Me during her set. Prior to her show, the singer was presented with a special award in recognition of selling more than 100 million records worldwide. The singer said she would hang it in her Dollywood Museum in Tennessee. Her performance has been the talk of the weekend, with several performers jokingly threatening to abandon their performances on other stages to catch the singer in action. Bands who are lucky enough not to be in competing slots have all said they intend to catch the show. "I think she's an amazing writer, and I'd love to see her in the flesh," said Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon. Even Lars Ulrich, of Saturday night headliners Metallica, plans to take it in. "I'll have a hangover on Sunday but I want to see The Horrors, The Black Keys and Dolly Parton," he told The Mirror. "I'm a big fan. We all bow to the altar of Dolly."

First computer made of carbon nanotubes is unveiled.

By -
The first computer built entirely with carbon nanotubes has been unveiled, opening the door to a new generation of digital devices. "Cedric" is only a basic prototype but could be developed into a machine which is smaller, faster and more efficient than today's silicon models. Nanotubes have long been touted as the heir to silicon's throne, but building a working computer has proven awkward. The breakthrough by Stanford University engineers is published in Nature. Cedric is the most complex carbon-based electronic system yet realised. So is it fast? Not at all. It might have been in 1955. Cedric's vital statistics *.1 bit processor *.Speed: 1 kHz *.178 transistors *.10-200 nanotubes per transistor *.2 billion carbon atoms *.Turing complete *.Multitasking The computer operates on just one bit of information, and can only count to 32. "In human terms, Cedric can count on his hands and sort the alphabet. But he is, in the full sense of the word, ...
