In this study I’ve been taking 20 second excerpts and cutting off the high frequencies and playing it to people who then rate it emotionally. They say how positive, negative, or encouraging they think the person sounds.My other aim is to find new methods for investigating speech. My research addresses how speech is subconsciously modified depending on the audience, how pervasive these modifications are, and whether they actually benefit the listener.I already have one study running, which is to do with how we modify our speech, linguistically or emotionally. People talk with a range of frequencies, and if you cut off the higher frequencies then speech sounds unintelligible, like a mumble. Two years ago, during my BSc degree, I found that this also happens when we speak to foreigners.
I’m now looking at speech directed to foreigners and to the hearing-impaired, with funding from the Economic and Social Research Council. Monja Knoll, 32, is researching speech production, at the University of Portsmouth
Until recently, people thought that the way we speak to infants was just an amusing mannerism. But then researchers realised that when we engage in “baby talk” we expand our vowels to make them clearer (known as hyperarticulation) Infants learn vowels before they learn what words mean.

Trailfinders will be seeking new recruits alongside Gala and Paddy Power, the computer games company, Jagex and the art auctioneers, Park West Gallery. Media firms attract applications without actually promoting themselves much and so it is unusual to find them at the big fairs but the BBC always supports our Summer Fair and, a first this year, the advertising agency Abbott Mead Vickers – BBDO will also be hiring there.For many, the thought of a permanent job is somewhat daunting so alternative zones offer anything from teaching English as a foreign language to helping with overseas development projects .There is no better place to start or finish the job search than at one of the 13 university-run recruitment fairs taking place. Over the last few years, the leisure industry has discovered graduates. It is a great opportunity to meet graduates that are feeling positive, enthusiastic and upbeat. I’m hoping for an equally successful two days this year.”Market research, marketing research and brand research companies are particularly well represented at the summer shows, with newcomers like Millward Brown and Conquest Research joining the more regular recruiters like AC Neilsen-BASES. Anglie Johns, graduate recruitment manager, says “Last year I offered positions to two graduates that I met at the fair. They have taken part in the London Graduate Fair for over 10 years and it is an integral part of their recruitment campaign.

Without saying there’s a little stereotyping going on, it is true that there is something infectious and down-to-earth in Milne’s personality that makes her ideal for these roles.”People who know me say I’m the sort of person who calls a spade a shovel,” she admits, “and I suppose that’s in keeping with those characters. She hopes to use part of it later this year, working privately in Copenhagen with Elisabeth Soderstrom while performing Mozart’s Idomeneo at the Royal Danish Opera.A glance at her repertoire reveals a lot of Handel and Mozart, which still comes as a surprise to someone for whom the combined dramatic and musical potential of opera first became clear during a performance of Alban Berg’s 1930s serialist sex-shocker opera, Lulu. It does, however, make perfect sense given the weight of her voice.A closer look also reveals rather a large percentage of turns in maid’s uniform: her first major role for Scottish Opera was as Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro, while her parting shot with the company brought a champagne sparkle to Adele in Die Fledermaus. In Act 2, when Theodora is waiting to be raped by Roman soldiers in a prison cell, I finished the scene, collapsed on the ground and realised I was sobbing my heart out because it suddenly hit me where I was and what I was doing.”Apart from reducing her director to tears of joy, Milne also benefited from a pounds 5,000 study award from the company.
“I had to take some jewellery off during the first song and give it to Lorraine Hunt [singing Theodora's companion Irene], but she had to prise the stuff out of my hand I was literally paralysed. A just-in-case trip to the wardrobe department proved prescient when the star did indeed succumb. After a quick rehearsal with the orchestra and the counter-tenor lead, David Daniels, on she went – in true 42nd Street style – to a full house.”I’ve never been more scared in my life,” she says now, punctuating every line with a laugh. Planning to nip home to Scotland for the weekend when the fourth performance (on a Sunday) came along, she wasn’t quite expecting a phone call on the Friday telling her to stick around, as Miss Upshaw was feeling a little unwell. The Glyndebourne connection resumes this summer, when she takes over the lead in Rodelinda – Handel again – for three performances in the summer festival prior to an autumn tour.
While this may provide a breakthrough to wider recognition in Britain, it certainly won’t be as dramatic as her first appearance with the company.The story goes like this. Just as her Scottish Opera contract was drawing to a close, Milne was invited to understudy American soprano Dawn Upshaw in Peter Sellars’s award-winning Glyndebourne staging of Theodora, Handel’s uplifting tale of Christian martyrdom in Roman-occupied Antioch. But, unlike Posh, Scary, Sporty and the rest, there’s no question mark hanging over Milne’s vocal abilities.The 26-year-old Aberdonian is back on home ground, after a break of 10 months, to sing Despina in Scottish Opera’s new staging of Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte. And it really does feel like coming home: after she completed her studies at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in 1994, Scottish Opera snapped her up with a three-season principal contract that allowed her to mature personally and artistically without diving straight into the big, bad professional world.”Scottish Opera really gave me the foundation for my career,” Milne reflects with gratitude “I’m 26, and that’s still really young for an opera singer. I’d have thought that, maybe in 10 years’ time, I’d be doing some of the things I’ve already done.”In the past few months, those things have included singing at the Gottingen Handel Festival in Germany; debuting as Servilia in Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito with Welsh National Opera; recording a solo disc of Hebridean songs; collaborating on a collection of the complete songs of John Ireland; and understudying the title role in Handel’s Theodora at Glyndebourne.

THE advertising industry was thrown into turmoil yesterday after France’s JC Decaux announced plans to trump Clear Channel Communication’s pounds 466m bid for More Group, the leading player in the UK outdoor advertising market. Whereas there are a variety of information services companies in the US.”Other analysts said it was more important for GUS to build its information services business and that Argos was not a “must have” deal.GUS is keen to complete the Metromail deal as the business would be a neat fit with its Direct Technology Group in Illinois which it acquired last year.GUS shares fell 9p to 772p yesterday as the US court decision was awaited Argos shares rose 2p to 622p.. “At 570p (the price of the GUS bid) Argos is more attractive because it is not the kind of opportunity that is going to come along very often. But at these levels the difference is not significant in terms of the size of GUS. People might be concerned if they paid more than $37.”Mr Thomas said the implications for the Argos deal were unclear.
GUS responded with its own writ claiming ABI had no right to interfere.Analysts said the complications were not ideal for GUS as the company is also embroiled in a pounds 1.6bn hostile bid for Argos.Ashley Thomas at SG Securities said: “GUS won’t want to look like it is getting into a bidding war. ABI sued GUS, claiming it had attempted to prevent a fair auction for the business from taking place. ABI could also come back with a last-minute higher bid.The contest had degenerated into a welter of legal wrangling. This was immediately trumped by ABI, which said it was prepared to offer “at least” $34.75 for the business.However, GUS’s increased offer had the backing of the directors and RR Donnelly, a printing group which owns a 38 per cent stake.ABI asked a judge in Delaware to issue an injunction against the proposed deal between GUS and Metromail.After a three hour hearing, the judge at Delaware Chancery Court denied the request, saying: “I’m concerned that there is a risk GUS may abandon the deal.”If ABI does decide to appeal against the decision, the Delaware Supreme Court could hold a hearing as early as Monday. The court ruling came after the battle for Metromail looked like turning into an auction with both GUS and ABI increasing their offers.
GUS started the process when it increased its bid from $31.50 to $34.50 per share, valuing Metromail at $888m (pounds 540m). The shares have soared from below 130p since the beginning of the year..
GREAT Universal Stores’ bid for Metromail, the American database services company, looked set to succeed last night after a US judge denied rival bidder American Business Information’s request for an injunction against their merger agreement ABI said it was considering an appeal. The group has already been holding discussions with NTL, the UK-based cable firm which is quoted on Nasdaq.Aspen, providing specialist printing and marketing services, leapt 29.5p to 122.5p as Photobition, the photographic and printing services group, announced that it had bought a 2.9 per cent stake and might make a bid.Printed circuit board maker Prestwick was dumped 17p to 35p as it announced that bid talks had been terminated and that, due to delayed call off of contracts from major customers, it was trading “below market expectations”.Lady in Leisure, operating women-only health clubs, jumped 20p to 217.5p. Sir Ernest Harrison, Racal’s chairman, has already twice pulled off the trick of releasing value from the company by demerging mobile operator Vodafone and security group Chubb.Persistent bid chatter and expectations of good first-quarter figures, due out next week, pushed Vodafone 9p higher to 602p.General Cable firmed 6p to 155.5p on suggestions that rival cable operator Telewest, 2p better at 94.5p, was about to table a pounds 600m bid for the company. That value should be crystallised when the telecoms business is floated in the next 18 months. The stockbroker calculates that, on current valuations, Racal’s telecoms arm is worth pounds 600m – valuing the rest of Racal at just pounds 340m.
The shares, bought by Warburg for 396p, closed down 8p at 389p.Next also continued to suffer from yesterday’s profit warning, giving up another 9p to settle at 535p.Racal firmed 1p to a 12-month high of 330p on a buy recommendation from Henderson Crosthwaite. Billboard group Maiden, which reports results on Monday, added 22.5p to 406p in sympathy.Sports retailer JJB Sports ended its recent slide, bouncing 35p to 670p. The shares were 822.5p a few weeks ago.Mobile phone operator Orange continued to slide amid suggestions that SBC Warburg had been unable fully to place the 16 per cent stake it bought from British Aerospace yesterday. Now that the sale has taken place several brokers have turned negative on the stock. News that Venezuela is reviving plans to sell its state-run aluminium smelter, in which Billiton has shown an interest, helped revive investors’ interests.
The shares closed up 9.5p at 165.5p.Advertising outfit More Group, which agreed to a 1030p-a-share bid from US giant Clear Channel Communications last month, soared 93.5p to 1122.5p as French rival JC Decaux announced that it was considering a counter- bid at a “meaningful premium” to Clear Channel’s offer More Group advised shareholders to take no action. While the US investigation remains a worry, the broker expects Reuters “to continue creating significant shareholder value.”The market staged a half-hearted recovery yesterday after a week of drift. But while Footsie was briefly showing a 71-point gain, it was dragged back by a fall on Wall Street and ended the day up a modest 33.7 points at 5939.3. The midcap and smallcap indices also posted slight gains.Best performer in the Footsie was Billiton, the metals group which has had a torrid time since joining the stock market at 220p last summer.
“The Chinese government asked us in December for assistance in locating a Chinese military officer who disappeared in New York City,” he said. “The US government located this individual, who was in good health, and notified the Chinese government.”The statement was issued in response to media reports in the US and Taiwan that a Chinese colonel had defected and followed China’s admission that an officer was missing. “An investigation is being conducted on a People’s Liberation Army (PLA) officer who left China and did not return,” said a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman. “This affair is being investigated and handled.”The possible defection of a senior colonel to the USA was first rumoured in Beijing in January this year.
He is said to be a deputy director of the foreign affairs department of the PLA Liberation Army. In this role, he would have been the public face of the PLA, meeting and greeting foreign military delegations, as well as accompanying China’s senior military figures on overseas trips. The latter role apparently gave him the chance to slip the roost last December in Canada or the US.The Washington Post said yesterday that the defection may have been elaborately planned, reporting that the officer’s wife was invited to a reception at the US embassy in Beijing at the time of her husband’s disappearance and had apparently been helped to leave the country. “The Americans put her on the guest list; she went in and never came out,” the paper quoted a source in China as saying. “Our assumption is that she was taken to the United States.”The defection of such a senior individual is highly embarrassing for China, which has suffered a series of military intelligence setbacks in recent years.
Two top officers, Major-General Liu Liankun and Colonel Shao Zhengzhong were executed in 1999 for allegedly passing secrets to Taiwan. Taiwan’s United Daily News said this week that the defector was on a disarmament delegation and would have been known about China’s non-proliferation policies.Deliberately or not, the timing of the disclosure comes at a sensitive time. The defection was confirmed during the visit to Washington of China’s Vice-Premier, Qian Qichen, the highest-ranking Chinese official to visit the US for two years. An hour-long meeting between Mr Qian and President Bush on Thursday was described as cordial but without agreement on all matters discussed. These included human rights in China and US arms sales to Taiwan.US-Chinese relations are going through a time of uncertainty, with Mr Bush redefining China as a “strategic competitor” rather than “strategic partner” for the US and pledging a harder line on Chinese human rights violations.The Pentagon, under the new Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, is also taking a tougher approach to China. It is reviewing military exchanges – begun as a confidence-building measure by Bill Clinton – to ensure that the US is given as much access as Chinese delegations were given in the US..
I married a “foreign devil”. In China that term refers to all foreigners, regardless of nationality In my case, the devil is a Scottish one
I married a “foreign devil”. In China that term refers to all foreigners, regardless of nationality. In my case, the devil is a Scottish one.
Sometimes I wonder about the origin of the term. Growing up in China, I never felt there was anything wrong with it.
History lessons taught how we Chinese were bullied ruthlessly by evil foreign powers, from the British Opium Wars to the Japanese invasion. The isolation of Communist China from 1949 did not help to change the image of foreigners.Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself marrying a “foreign Devil”. The Chinese believe in yuan, roughly translating as fate, the invisible force that plays a decisive role in one’s marriage. In our case, it must have been something pretty powerful that brought together a Scottish farmer’s son and a Chinese worker’s daughter in a queue for ice creams in the Forbidden City.It was a fine summer afternoon in 1988 Calum was travelling on a “year off” before going to Oxford I was taking time off from a business trip to Beijing. Romance blossomed properly a year later, when we travelled along the Old Silk Road in north-west China. At the end of 1990, I left China for England as Calum’s fiancée: at the tender age of 21, he was too young to marry under Chinese law.When news of my engagement to a “foreign devil” spread round my parents’ neighbourhood in Nanjing, eastern China, the rumour mill started up and all the prejudices come to the fore. Calum was black, American, at least 60 years old and a millionaire who would sell me into slavery as soon as we touched down in the US.The rumour mill might have spun more slowly if my fellow villagers had actually seen him.

His father was himself a professional photographer, who spent much of his time taking pictures for the police of corpses fished from the river or seamen discovered near the wharves with their throats cut. By the time he was seven, Jarche was assisting him.
He was also throwing himself with great gusto into life in this tough, volatile environment. Encouraged by the local stevedores, he eventually became a talented wrestler At the age of 18 he was World Amateur Middleweight Champion.
He also developed a skill as a ventriloquist, mimic and magician – his party piece was doing imitations in German, French, Italian and Spanish, without knowing a word of any of them.But the photography he had learnt from his father offered the greatest potential to satisfy his natural curiosity, and the expansion of the Edwardian “ha’penny newspapers” drew him towards journalism. In 1909, he submitted a photograph to the Mirror, and it was published. In 1910, working for a picture agency, he waited for two days and nights in a damp field near Dover to photograph the aviator Bleriot completing his epic cross-Channel flight. His career really took off in 1912 when he joined the Daily Sketch, where he stayed as a staff photographer until 1929. Subsequently, he worked for over 20 years for Odhams Press, both for the Daily Herald and, later on, for the magazine Weekly Illustrated (later Illustrated). He ended his career at the Daily Mail, retiring in 1959.Most newspaper picture departments keep day-books which record every story a photographer has covered.
Jarche’s entries in the Daily Herald archives give a dizzying sense of his energy – and a bird’s-eye view of early-20th-century history. Dipping in at random, we find that his camera looked at the manufacture of penicillin, learning to type, taking X-rays at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, making fireworks, electrical demonstrations, developing the jet engine, dancing the can-can, digging for coal, unemployment at Govan shipyards, life in Hyde Park, copper-works in Swansea, beauty contests at the seaside, chemical laboratories, motor-racing, expanding the London Underground, ramblers in the countryside, Roman pageants, Kipper Girls in Scotland and Father Christmas at Selfridges. Add to this the fashion, the news stories – Amy Johnson and her airplane, King George V’s coronation, the launching of the Queen Elizabeth liner – and the hundreds of celebrity portraits, and you begin to get an idea of what a prolific career he had, and of why his work is significant: if not as photography, then as history.Most press pictures at that time were arranged rather than caught in a candid manner, because camera equipment was so cumbersome, and Jarche rarely veered from that tradition. Indeed, much of his work on the Herald had a relentless jollity to it. One of his most surprising and funny pictures shows sound-effects men at work backstage at a theatre, but even this, one suspects, was set up to describe the humour of the idea rather than the innate visual comedy of the situation.
