With the database, we will be more organised and that shouldn’t happen.”One local council which has been eager to join the scheme is High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. Eddie Russell, a council spokesman, can reel off a list of local sites which have already featured in The Avengers, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Vicar of Dibley.”We have a lot to offer, with an infinite variety of outdoor locations for them to chose from, as well as family homes. The more information there is on the database, the more chance we have of success,” said Gerard Rosenberg, the organisation’s commissioner.”The hope is that Steven Spielberg will turn up, but we also want to encourage television companies and makers of commercials to film in the region.”We have lost out in the past – like the time Spielberg went to Ireland to get 2,000 extras for Saving Private Ryan because he couldn’t find them in England.

I should confess: it was quite a while before I got round to reading it. The slightest experience of watching bad youth programmes teaches us that, when graphics appear at the foot of the screen, it’s normally safe to ignore them because the chances are they will only be saying “get a life” or announcing the release of the new Take That video.
In any case, all through ITV’s World Cup coverage, that space along the bottom has only ever housed unrewarding statistical and biographical information about the players – about how fly-half X from team B has kicked 33 points in 49 internationals and enjoys Italian food and relaxing at home with his wife Maria and daughters Maxine and Jade. Here was the proof that there is no keeping politics out of sport. A blue strip appeared across the bottom of the screen, courtesy of ITN. Like those French fans in the crowd whom we briefly glimpsed, ignoring the game and amusing themselves with a live cockerel. Or like the players on the England bench, open-jawed and catatonic with boredom. HOW bad was England’s performance against France in the Rugby World Cup third place play-off (ITV, Thursday)? Very bad Deeply bad So bad, in fact, that some of us couldn’t take it at all.
In Spain, the case was interpreted as another example of the French attempting to stop Indurain dominating the sport They hardly needed worry.. Most of the top riders have at one time or another failed tests, and Indurain is no exception. Last September, the French Cycling Federation announced that he had been tested positive after a race the previous May but it was accepted by the Union Cycliste Internationale and the International Olympic Committee that the drug concerned, salbutamol, was contained in a nasal inhaler Indurain had used to improve his respiration. Significantly, Indurain trained for less than a month and had little track experience. So when he said last week that hay fever and colds early in the summer set his training back, it was not enough to register serious doubt.The strain of top-class road racing is unimaginable. Over the years dozens of riders have turned for help to drugs. Ugrumov, a close second to Indurain in the 1993 Tour of Italy, rides again this year and is still climbing impressively, but at 35 he may have gone beyond his peak.
Meanwhile, Indurain has proved himself the outstanding all-rounder of the present generation by breaking the one-hour track record that had previously been held by the Scot, Graeme Obree, and Chris Boardman. The story goes that gypsies stole his first bike but somehow he bought another and was stirred into thoughts of a professional career. In contrast, Rominger, a former book-keeper, lives in Monte Carlo, records his training by computer and spends at least five weeks before each season at altitude in Colorado. Indurain is unbeatable”.Rominger and Indurain could not be more dissimilar.

conclusion is in line with findings by federal and provincialofficials, who have been evaluating the viability of each company’sCanadian operations, based on internal analysis and third-party duediligence.Canada’s analysis has had two focal points:- Whether the companies have demonstrated that they will be competitivein the marketplace.- Whether the companies will have a competitive cost structure over themedium to long term.Canada’s analysis indicates that the companies are not there yet.Therefore Canada has not certified either of their restructuring plans.What Canada is asking the automakers to doThe companies must examine their assumptions about overall auto sales andtheir assumptions about market share corresponding to their currentproduct mix and their long-term product plans. “Having an au pair gives our three children the most consistent care at the bestprice,” said Suzy Cooke, a host mother from Washington D.C.

Yet in its own sublimely silly, rulebook-tearing fashion, the National Theatre performance of Brent’s Love Upon the Throne is a rapturous illustration of what he means. WHEN PETER BROOK made his classic statement that “theatre reopens what definition closes”, he probably wasn’t envisaging the spectacle of two men in suits pretending to be idiotic thespians pretending to be the Prince and Princess of Wales and everyone else associated with their ill-starred marriage. Snake Eyes thereafter turned into a nugatory join-the-dots thriller.. Who could follow that?On a much smaller scale, Brian de Palma ran into a similar difficulty with his conspiracy thriller Snake Eyes. The 20 minute Steadicam take that opens the film is an audacious and exhilarating demonstration of film craft, conducting the audience via a crooked cop (Nicolas Cage) right into the heart of fight night in Atlantic City.Cage holds the centre here as he orbits the fight arena, pocketing bribes, beating up a miscreant and generally wallowing in the glow of his own self-love.De Palma builds the sequence beautifully, wiring us into the frenzied expectation around the baying auditorium – it’s like lions-and-Christians night in Ancient Rome.Then comes what is my favourite movie moment this year as Cage gets to his feet with a triumphant yell of “I am the king!” On that instant the whole arena rises with him Glorious fun. In these moments Spielberg gestures towards an unglamorous truth about men in combat: that real bravery lies not in gun-toting heroics but in the sheer will to carry on.It’s no discredit to Spielberg that the rest of his film failed to match the gut-churning bravura. There is nowhere to hide in this open-air slaughterhouse.Then comes the moment when it all seems to freeze, and Captain Miller (played superbly by Tom Hanks) enters a kind of battle fugue, the thunder of the guns slowing and muffling around him: it’s a state of abstraction brought on by terror, which certain soldiers on the Western Front also recall after going over the top.Miller, whose dream-time has lasted no more than four or five seconds, forces himself back into the horrific present.
No sooner does the ramp on the foremost landing craft drop down than a chattering hail of machine-gun fire engulfs the oncoming marines.Spielberg gets up close to the impact of gunfire as bullets whistle through flesh, khaki, steel helmets. Film by Anthony Quinn
THERE WERE movies with great things in them this year, although not actually any great movies.
The most startling imagescame in the opening 25-minute flurry of Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg’s account of the American D-Day landings at Omaha. This lets its female protagonist start on stage, accompanied by giant video projections of her face or hands before the cameraman pursues her into the street while the enthralled audience sits watching her image walk So vulnerable, so brave; such magic.. His choreography, taking classical ballet further into the next century than anyone else has attempted, was already admired here, thanks to the Royal Ballet, but for the greatest delight you need to see his regular dancers making its revolutionary innovations of shape, timing and texture look absolutely natural.And while London borrowed from Germany, the Edinburgh Festival borrowed three dance companies from Holland to celebrate the highly original Dutch choreographer Hans van Manen Best of all was the devastating originality of Live. Sometimes mysterious, sometimes jazzy, the outcome was so appealing I was drawnto see it again and again.The reopening of the new, vastly improved Sadler’s Wells Theatre brought joy to the autumn with a series of dance companies; among them William Forsythe’s amazing company from Frankfurt. She set it to Conlon Nancarrow’s highly individual music for player piano. She called this work Eighty- eight because that’s the year she started her company, and also because it is the number of keys on a piano.
Grown men cried, and you walked out into the hot evening sunshine and the beer-smelling streets with a vision of glory buzzing in your head, and that single Woody Woodpecker note ringing in your ears Honestly, it was that good.. SOMETHING OLD, something new, something borrowed – the reliable old formula worked again. Yes, I did see something blue too, but that was not a highlight of my year. The best of the old was Birmingham Royal Ballet’s revival of Ninette de Valois’s The Prospect Before Us, a huge hit during the Second World War but not performed for 50 years because everyone was afraid it would not work without its original star, the late, great Robert Helpmann.
Well, there isn’t really anyone to match his comic exuberance, but the jokes now are given more as an ensemble effort, and how good it was to see David Bintley’s company celebrating the centenary of their founder, Dame Ninette, by presenting such a lively, funny, unhackneyed piece, with a story which proved that in the 18th century dancers got up to just as many lively tricks as they do today.My best new piece also had a female choreographer, Siobhan Davies, who never offers anything so old-fashioned as a story, but does make beautiful dances for her beautiful dancers.
Did Petrucciani really hammer away at just one note of the keyboard for a full 10 minutes, as his finger became a cartoon blur of motion-lines, like Woody Woodpecker’s beak? Did he then repeat a single bluesy phrase for another 10 minutes, using not one finger but two? And if so, why did we like it so much?It was once said of a boogie-woogie pianist that he had a left hand like God; Petrucciani has two of them, and maybe another up his sleeve.After the encores, Petrucciani came to the front to hold hands with his bassist Anthony Jackson and his drummer Steve Gadd, his tiny figure reaching somewhere beneath their knees and their thighs.We did not so much as applaud as bend low and bow inobeisance, for the performance was like a glimpse into the infinite. You could almost see Earl Hines, Art Tatum, Phineas Newborn and all the other great jazz piano magicians of the past, standing at the bar looking on and sipping their pints, saying, “Go on my son!” Even the fixtures and fittings in the Market Hall appeared to be expanding and contracting in time to the indeterminate rhythmic bounce of that mercurial swing-thing.Perhaps this was hallucination, but then much of the concert sounds distinctly unlikely. At the Brecon Jazz Festival in August, the diminutive French pianist Michel Petrucciani (he has a rare bone disease that has restricted his growth), swung so ceaselessly, so heroically and so mercilessly, that by the end of the performance no one could quite believe what they had seen or heard.
It was less like a concert than a seance or a laying-on of hands, and Petrucciani truly did seem to bring the dead back to life. AS MISSION statements, manifestos or corporate credos go, “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing”, might lack a little in gravitas, but nine times out of ten it still does the business where jazz is concerned. George Michael was arrested in Beverly Hills, while back home Ian Brown and Mark Morrison – surely the stupidest men in pop – both found themselves languishing at Her Majesty’s pleasure for ego-related obnoxiousness.Still, at least they managed to get themselves arrested, something few other British acts managed in the sorriest year for pop since Waterman first met Stock and Aitken.. One glimmer of hope was provided by Gomez’s winning of the Mercury Music Prize, a reflection of the band’s imaginative, eclectic approach and a promising indication of a shift back towards American influences after years of Britpop navel-gazing.This shift was entirely appropriate, given that 1998 was the year American pop finally dragged itself out of its own protracted slump, by rediscovering the power of its old roots music.

It has its place in the general scheme of things – it shouldn’t scream ‘Look at me.’”"People like the idea of commissioning a new carpet,” says Adam Munthe, founder of the Asad Company. “It is no longer a case of, ‘Oh, we must find a carpet as background for this sofa.’ The exciting decorative qualities that a carpet offers in its own right are again being recognised.” (He observes that several of Asad’s commissions have ended up hanging on the wall.) “And commissioning a carpet is relatively inexpensive compared with buying an antique carpet Furthermore, it will last for 100 years. The longevity of an antique carpet is always questionable.”About a third of the carpets created by Asad are made-to-measure large carpets. A third are oriental designs in smaller sizes, and the rest are contemporary designs, many of which are “flatweaves” (carpets without a tuft) designed by Adam’s wife and co-director of the company, Nelly. Her designs appear simple, but on close examination they reveal beautiful gradations of colour “The appeal of flatweaves is their versatility,” she says.
“They are eminently suitable for any type of interior – traditional or contemporary.”Veedon Fleece, a company which specialises in modern rugs, brings out its own collection each year. The designs are diverse, ranging from a reproduction of an Arts and Crafts rug by C F A Voysey to a modern chessboard pattern. “There is a new generation of people buying contemporary carpets,” says the founder, Adam Gilchrist, who attributes this partly to people’s tendency to move house more frequently these days (unfitted carpets are easier to transport than fitted). About half of Gilchrist’s clients are aged between 30 and 45. The rest are slightly older, and are often seeking to replace worn-out antique carpets with replicas. All of Veedon Fleece’s carpets are hand-knotted in Nepal, using wool from Tibetan mountain sheep.
They can be woven up to very large sizes (24m by 8m).Helen Yardley – another pioneer in the world of contemporary carpets, and best known for her abstract creations – has noticed a change in the public’s response to her designs in recent years. “People are much more appreciative, and there is no longer that response of ‘Oh my God, it costs that much.’” The majority of her carpets, which start at pounds 400 a metre, are one-off commissions, although she also brings out a new collection of designs every year. The advantage to commissioning a carpet, she says, is that you can be assured of its uniqueness. “I particularly enjoy working with architects and being pushed in new directions.
It is important for developing my work.” Yardley cites such diverse influences as Henri Matisse, Robert Motherwell and Roger Hilton. One recent commission was a large carpet for the new Four Seasons Hotel in London. But Yardley says, “My clients are of all ages, and from all sorts of social backgrounds.”The carpet designer Sandy Jones says: “Modern carpets drag people who are stuck in the country-house aesthetic into the 20th century by enabling them to be eclectic.” A modern carpet, in fact, can sit perfectly with the country-pile look. Imagine the drawing room of a stately home, its Rembrandts complemented by a contemporary rug spread over a huge expanse of floor.In 1990, after a long career working with textiles, first in the fashion industry and then as a costume designer, Jones set up her own studio designing carpets and textiles. Although many of her carpets are in only two colours, her love of “abrash” (the subtle change in shade caused by variations in the dye) gives them a gorgeous intensity.Contemporary oriental carpets made in the traditional way, and using natural dyes, but using modernist designs, are also popular. Some of the most effective of these will be on display at the forthcoming “Natural Born Colours” exhibition of carpets and kilims (see end for details).David Black is the expert on the use of natural dyes in carpets, and has clients all over the world. In the Seventies, he was influential in promoting the merits of antique tribal and village rugs (highly sought- after once more), bringing several exhibitions to London.

He is, after all, the man who rescued TV-am by importing Anne, Nick and Roland Rat.Gyngell is a skilled businessman who has read the market well throughout his career. The NVALA may have clutched him to their hearts, but he has a long and noble history of lowering our broadcasting standards. “I believe that in the mass broadcast media people should expect never to be embarrassed and that they should be able to watch a programme with their families and be able to enjoy it.”Bruce Gyngell is an anomaly among moral crusaders. “The programmes that are the most popular on television are the ones that do stick to some family values,” he said. His remark at the Royal Television Society that “so-called entertainment which once could only be found in the seedy cellars and basements of Soho clip-joints is paraded on mainstream television as if it were respectable” became one of the most quoted of last year.”What,” he added, “are we doing to our sensibilities and moral values and, more importantly, to those of our children, when day after day we broadcast an unremitting diet of violence, extremes of sexuality and negative behaviour?”Comments worthy of Mrs Whitehouse.Last Friday brought more of the same.

This is gaining ground across Europe, with Scandinavia taking the lead, closely followed by Ireland. This led to the concept of the “driving test” for PCs.The concept was adopted by The Council for European Professional Informatics Societies which developed it into the European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL). Some may have taken a course, but there are many Information Technology (IT) qualifications, each covering a different syllabus.
The idea of testing computercompetence the way car driving skills are tested was developed by the Finnish Computer Society in the late 1980s. Some can do no more than switch on and load games, others are highly competent in particular applications, but not those needed by employers.
They are also used at home, to write letters, e-mail family and friends, research and write homework, and order goods and services. Until now there has been no standard of computer literacy.

The solution currently proposed, dubbed key escrow, is to build a back-door weakness into encryption by giving a copy of a person’s private encryption key to a “trusted third party” (such as a bank), which will give it to the police on demand of a warrant.On Friday, DTI minister Michael Wills announced that key escrow, previously a plank of government policy, could be dropped “Key escrow may not be the best option.

The opponents of current proposals to give law enforcement authorities access to e-commerce, led by the IT and banking sectors, were thrown into further disarray as differences emerged between themselves over the best solution.The Government confirmed its change of heart on the bill on Friday, after news leaked of the Thursday morning meeting at Downing Street between Mr Blair, Home Secretary Jack Straw, Trade Secretary Stephen Byers, and executives from Microsoft, ICL, Cable & Wireless and the CBI.The conflict centres on the issue of encryption, once a Cold-War secret but now considered necessary to provide security for transactions and scrambling messages on the internet.On one side are the law enforcement agencies, represented most visibly by the National Criminal Intelligence Service, and on the other are high- street banks, the Post Office, internet service providers and big IT companies, including Microsoft.The problem is that powerful encryption is too strong for modern computers to break and denies law enforcement agencies access to electronic information in their fight against serious internet-enabled crime. THE information technology industry was thrown into confusion last week when the Government gave it just three weeks to come up with a compromise for regulating electronic commerce that will maintain customer security but allow cyber-cops to track fraud and other crime. But EMI has denied newspaper reports that it was in talks with the media mogul and Mr Murdoch has said that the price of the company is too high.. The rise has been fuelled by speculation about a takeover.Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp has expressed interest in the company. Sir Colin was voted the most disappointing company chief in a recent poll of Britain’s top 100 fund managers.EMI shares have been climbing steadily over the past few months, closing at pounds 4.48 on Friday from a low of pounds 3.12 in October. The plan is to enable Sir Colin to go non-executive.The City would approve.
But industry sources believe that EMI is more concerned with finding a replacement who has keen financial acumen to complement Berry’s creative talents.The post of chief executive at EMI was left open by Jim Fifield, who quit last April with a controversial payoff of pounds 12.5m. However, sources close to the music group say it is more likely that the job will go to a hard-hitting financial whiz, possibly from outside the industry.
Alain Levy, formerly the head of PolyGram’s music division, who quit after the firm was bought by the Canadian drink distillers Seagram, has also been cited as a frontrunner.Ken Berry, the head of EMI’s recorded music division, who is credited with discovering the Spice Girls, has also been a leading candidate. Michael Fuchs, chairman for 20 years of the US pay television channel HBO, has been cited as the leading candidate. EMI, the record label of Robbie Williams and the Spice Girls, is expected to announce this week the appointment of a new chief executive to run the company after Sir Colin Southgate steps down as chairman this year. “We still need to see a clear [industrial] plan from Telecom Italia.”On Friday night, Telecom Italia’s board of directors – which controls about 7 per cent of the stock – gave Mr Bernabe a mandate to defend the company from Olivetti, whose chief executive said he has no plans to raise the bid.Telecom Italia’s biggest shareholders include the California Public Employment Retirement System, Fidelity Investments, The Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, College Retirement Equities, TRowe Price Associates, Merrill Lynch Asset Management and Capital Research Management..
Leon de Jerez, head of continental European equity investments at Standard Life, said many of the investors are considering supporting Telecom Italia’s management in exchange for some promises to “unlock value” by absorbing its mobile phone unit Telecom Italia Mobile.These investors also suggest changing Telecom Italia’s capital structure to eliminate its savings shares, by converting them to stock or buying them back.Standard Life, whose head of corporate governance, Guy Jubb, was in New York meeting investors last week, is hoping to line up investors to sign a letter to be sent to Telecom Italia management outlining their requests in return for supporting chief executive Franco Bernabe in repelling Olivetti’s bid.”We don’t necessarily see blocking Olivetti as a victory,” said Mr de Jerez. Edinburgh-based Standard Life, one of Telecom Italia’s biggest investors, says the buyout will saddle Telecom Italia with debts, hampering growth.
Standard Life, which has about pounds 65bn in investments worldwide, last week started canvassing 28 Telecom Italia investors holding 12 per cent of the company in New York and the UK. STANDARD Life Investments is mounting a campaign of major shareholders in Telecom Italia to block Olivetti’s $58bn (pounds 37bn) bid for the company. “Up here in the north of England there are signs the economy is stalled.”Mr Dyson also worried that Mr Brown’s Budget speech would sidestep the crucial issue of the relationship between the domestic economy and the EU economy as a whole.”We operate as if it’s a one-world market,” he said “We’d support greater harmonisation of taxes.”.
