But if you use one with an earlier tuning, it stops being sweet and balanced, and becomes painful and intensely dramatic.” As both players point out, composers such as Bach and Scarlatti deliberately traded on the tension set up by the discord of remote keys.If all this raises unanswerable questions – you can’t retune your organ, as you can your harpsichord, to suit the occasion – no such doubts are to be found among the lutes and viols. Because music written for the viola da gamba is often played on the cello, people tend to regard the viol family as cognate with the violin, but nothing could be further from the truth. The viol is closely related to the guitar, with its frets, six strings, and flat back which gives it its peculiarly clean sound. According to violist Richard Boothby, a founder-member of Fretwork, the viol’s future is looking rosy at present. George Benjamin and Alexander Goehr have recently composed works for their consort, and their next exploit will be to record works for viols by both the 16th-century Taverner and his 20th- century almost-namesake.And as for the lutes – well, thanks to the upsurge of interest in Dowland and his ilk, they’re in heaven. “The lute has a massive repertoire, which would take more than one lifetime to learn,” says master-lutenist David Miller. “It doesn’t matter that modern composers aren’t much interested in writing for it.”For details of Colin Booth’s recordings, tel: 01749 870516.

Suddenly a whole slew of Sixties pop performers are reaching their own sixties but have careers still bolstered by a combination of unflagging enthusiasm, dogged tenacity and sheer talent. You wonder how many of today’s stars will be going strong a similar number of decades down the line.Those born in 1940 first saw daylight as the Second World War raged; it was the time of the Battle of Britain and the Blitz.
It was also the year of Chaplin’s film The Great Dictator, Disney’s Pinocchio and the British premiÿre of Gone with the Wind.The performers now reaching 60 were part of pop’s first wave, which crashed on to the beach in an explosion of youthful energy and testosterone. Perhaps it is that sense of pioneering verve that has kept them bubbling ever since. But it is difficult to predict whether the ones who sailed in on their slipstream will have the same staying-power. Many recent pop success- stories have been pre-fabricated, created to fit a niche, which means that success is taken pretty much for granted – longevity hasn’t been a consideration.Musicians of a Sixties vintage, though, have proved to be of an enduring quality. Sir Cliff Richard makes it to 60 this year and still keeps churning out hits. Although the oldest Beatle, Ringo Starr, got there in July, it comes as something of a shock to realise that John Lennon would have been turning 60 less than a fortnight before Sir Cliff’s big day in October.October 2000 is replete with 60th birthdays; the day before Sir Cliff, the singer Chris Farlowe – best known for his Rolling Stones cover andNo 1 hit “Out of Time” – is celebrating, and the following week, the eponymous leader of Manfred Mann will become eligible to blow out his own set of 60 candles.Not that the October lot are the only ones proving that those purveyors of pop who made their very first appearances in 1940 form a vintage and tenacious crop.
Tom Jones who has experienced an astonishing resurgence in his pop career and was even voted best British male artist at the Brits earlier this year, turned 60 in June.Others entering the 60-year-old’s hall of fame this year are Johnny Nash, Smokey Robinson, Grace Slick, John Cale of the Velvet Underground and Brian Bennett and Jet Harris of the Shadows Many others have long been ensconced there. Bill Wyman, formerly of the Rolling Stones, fearlessly records in his autobiography that he was born in 1936. And Bert Weedon – the guitarist who has taught millions of others through his tutorial book Play in a Day – is still performing at 80. But age is obviously no consideration for many other performers wanting to rock their way into old age.At a time when the youngest Beatle – George Harrison – is now 57, determined veterans are, quite simply, rocking on.
The commission’sfirst meeting followed the announcement of Naples’ appointment. This Saturday the Iowa Hawkeyes host third-ranked Penn State This game is interesting to me for two reasons.

Entertainment | Film | FranceWeb sites described the illegal download as a nearly complete, high-quality copy, but 20th Century Fox, the studio behind the film, said Wednesday that it included temporary sound and music and was missing effects and some scenes, with other scenes unedited.The studio issued a statement saying, “We immediately contacted the appropriate authorities and had it removed,” though once a film begins circulating online, it can be difficult to stamp it out.Because of forensic marks, the studio said it would be able to determine the source of the leak, though it did not immediately disclose it, saying: “The FBI and the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) also are actively investigating this crime.

The entire organization is committed to moving in the right direction and unlike last year have it reflect in the win/loss record. Players are competing hard knowing that this will help them develop and improve their game and the team. The Raiders wanted more competition at the position and chose to add two players for the position outside of the NFL draft. The team added veteran free agent linebacker Edgerton Hartwell and undrafted rookie free agent Malik Jackson to the corps of linebackers.

London E17. If we count from one to 10, the number of numbers is, well, 10! The next set of 10 begins with 11; the same logic applies when you count in hundreds and thousands The Christian calendar goes from 1BC to 1AD There is no year zero None of us can lay claim to living in our 0th year. Even so, the year 2000 is not the beginning of the new millennium. If Dionysius had got his sums right, we should have celebrated the new millennium in what we still call 1996 or 1997.
But, let us allow, for the sake of argument, that this is indeed the 1,999th year since the birth of Christ. Sir: I’ve had enough! I just cannot stand it any more! My time as a member of the silent minority is over.
The world needs to know! Next year is not the beginning of the new millennium. Dionysius Exiguus was an abbot who lived from 500 to 560 AD – anno domini, meaning, “In the year of our Lord.” Dionysius invented the BC/AD system of dating He missed out three or four years. that paternity is difficult to prove”.Neither of these approaches stands up to scrutiny in 1999 and the provision seems clearly at odds with the right to respect for “private and family life” and the protection from “discrimination on any grounds such as sex” enshrined on the European Convention on Human Rights.This affects not only couples in the unique situation of Messrs Drewitt and Barlow but the children of all unmarried British fathers who wish their children to benefit from their paternal ancestry for nationality reasons.In this case, the Secretary of State may well choose the “soft option” and decide to exercise his discretion and “register” the twins as British nationals because of their links with the United Kingdom, a different process of acquiring British nationality as a matter of “gift” rather than “right.” The prominence given to the issues raised in this case, however, hopefully will lead to serious consideration of the rights of unmarried partners to pass on their nationality by descent.WESLEY GRYKSolicitorLondon WC2. Sir: The potential problems faced by the gay parents Barrie Drewitt and Tony Barlow arise from a socially and scientifically outmoded section of the British Nationality Act 1981 (“Gay parents fight to win UK citizenship for twins”, 13 December). While the Act states that “a person born outside the United Kingdom … shall be a British citizen if at the time of the birth his father or mother … is a British citizen,” the Act goes on to define “mother” and “father” as including the mother of an illegitimate child but not the father.
This approach derives from the approach taken in a parallel context by Lord Denning in the 1955 Court of Appeal decision of In re M (an infant), where Lord Denning explained: “The reason is that the law of England has from time immemorial looked upon a bastard as the child of nobody, that is to say, as the child of no known body except its mother.”Sir Roger Ormrod in the 1982 decision of R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, ex p Crew recognised that, sociologically, times had moved on and there was “a strong movement to eliminate so far as possible the difference between illegitimate children and legitimate children.” He, instead, put forward a “scientific” explanation, citing “the inescapable fact …

Without the remarkable Mr Poucher to proselytise their products – “I liked this lippy so much I wore it up a Munroe” – Yardley seems to have lost its way. In an era when Eddie Izzard, Robbie Williams and David Beckham display their feminine sides, it’s a shame Walter Poucher isn’t around to be on a trendy guest list. If anyone could have made his scents fashionable in an eccentric, Vivienne Westwood way, Walter Poucher was the man. This surely is the story of a man who died before his time.

Of the last 55 years, the Conservatives have been in power for 35. Their predominance is explained by two long periods of office: first, under Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden, Harold Macmillan and Alec Home and, then, under Margaret Thatcher and John Major. No one is more conscious of this pattern than the Prime Minister. That is why, from the moment of his election, his mind was set on the second term.
Of the last 55 years, the Conservatives have been in power for 35.

No one is more conscious of this pattern than the Prime Minister. That is why, from the moment of his election, his mind was set on the second term.
It is not quite true to say that no Labour government has won a full second term After all, Harold Wilson did precisely that in 1966.
And if C R Attlee had chosen to hang on after 1950, when he had a majority of five, instead of going unsuccessfully to the country 20 months later, he could certainly have survived until 1954 or 1955 and possibly won an election in one of those years But this is yet another “What if?” question The pattern is clear. No two Labour administrations have lasted more than six years. That is what Mr Tony Blair, inspired by his conversations with Lord Jenkins, is intent on remedying.What has been remarked less often – indeed, it is something of a heresy – is that the Conservatives have been successful while moving to the right. The only recent leader who could be considered on the left by the standards of his own time was Eden, the populariser of “a property owning democracy”. The phrase was originally coined in the 1920s by one of his less famous friends, the Tory MP Noel Skelton.Eden was chosen by the Queen in succession to Churchill.

They vote for specific people on specific issues in specific races.’If you have a presidential race like this one, where the economy is bad and Southern whites feel no particular comfort or cultural affinity with the Republican candidate – just as they didn’t when (Gerald) Ford lost in 1976 – and some degree of comfort with the Democratic candidate, as they did when Carter won in 1976, the Republican bastion can crumble into sand.’With six weeks to go, many questions remain unresolved.

It boasts a nationally renowned art department and is anticipating a favourable Ofsted report this week.Chamberlaine will start the next school year with 13 fewer teachers and a conviction that a flu epidemic would bring the school to its knees. Faced with a budget shortfall of pounds 280,000, a 10 per cent cut, the governors have not made allowance for cover if teachers fall ill.The budget reduction is only partly a result of Warwickshire’s overall cut of pounds 6m in education spending. Failure to fund the teachers’ pay settlements for two years and demographic factors have made a bad situation worse. Mr Scott views Warwickshire’s projected cuts of another pounds 10m next year and pounds 17m the year after with disbelief.He takes some comfort from the fact that 12 of his 13 staff losses have been achieved relatively painlessly through voluntary means Only one teacher possibly faces compulsory redundancy.
But there is no comfort, he says, in the fact that next year 61 teachers will have to shoulder the burden currently borne by 75. The pupil-teacher ratio will worsen from 16:1 to 19:1.”The biggest impact will be on class sizes. We will be packing 30 hefty 16-year-olds into rooms designed for 25. Practical classes, which the unions argue ought not to have more than 20 pupils for safety reasons, will inevitably become larger. Opportunities for practical work and hands- on computer experience will be diminished. The art department is planning to put students in the corridor to allow them adequate space to work.”At the same time, allowances for books and equipment have been savagely reduced, the library will no longer be supervised and the caretaking staff will be allowed only pounds 15,000 for maintenance and basic supplies.”What grieves me most is that schools are losing highly valued older teachers who offer experience and stability.
Pupils and the profession will suffer for this for years to come,” Mr Scott says.. Universities must equip more undergraduates with vocational skills central to economic growth, the Government’s review of higher education has found. The traditional view of university as a halfway house between home and adulthood for privileged 18-year-olds no longer holds sway. A major theme in more than a hundred submissions from institutions, unions and industry was the need to educate a new generation of workers to fill the skills gap, says Tim Boswell, the higher education minister. “In a world notorious for its academic divisions there has been much greater consensus than we expected on vocational skills and continuing learning.”
There is also a consensus that economic objectives can only be met if the sector expands Here lies Mr Boswell’s and the Government’s dilemma. If they opt for growth, where is the money to come from?”Expansion of the system has not gone too far,” says the minister.
“We have a lot to be proud of, but the issue is, how do you tune it to modern needs alongside the resources available? If you are going to have more of it, you are going to have to find ways of financing and resourcing it.”The first phase of the review, launched last November by Gillian Shephard, the Education Secretary, was to reassess the purpose of higher education and the implications of this for its future size and shape. The issue of how to pay for it is for phase two.Policy-makers will not be able to set realistic targets for student numbers into the next century without grasping the nettle of funding. So Mr Boswell finds himself unable to say how many students should be in higher education by 2010. “I don’t know – that is an honest answer, because the outcome is not independent of methods of student support or preferences.”One of the Government’s preferences might be to privatise students loans, inviting banks and other City investors to lend the money with interest, instead of the Treasury, which charges no interest. Mr Boswell says: “We have no immediate plans in that direction, but we are keeping our options open.”Under the current system, graduates earning pounds 14,500 (85 per cent of the national average) or more must pay back money borrowed within five years. Mr Boswell said the Government might be willing to review the repayment period. This is unlikely to be enough to please students, who say that annual grant cuts and five years of loans have already led to record debt and hardship.Since the Government announced its review, there has been a change in attitudes to funding.
