The ready-to-wear collections for autumn/winter ‘96 ended yesterday in New York with Ralph Lauren, who had moved his show at the last minute from a spacious tent to his more intimate showroom.Donna Karan started the trend for a more selective presentation; Calvin Klein, wisely, did not see the point of further restricting numbers who could see his show. Venues aside, both Karan and Klein presented strong collections, a relief after a low-key season.Karan went back to doing what she does best – comfortable, functional clothes for the working woman. According to the CA, more detailed labelling – quantitative ingredient declarations (QUID) should be introduced by Europe as soon as possible, and definitions for simple terms such as “meat” tidied up.The managing editor of Which? magazine Charlotte Gann said today: “Consumers have long had to cope with foods which aren’t all they seem.”But food adulteration has now become more sophisticated than ever before – and is harder to detect and prove.”The law has to be tightened up. In 1994 licensees at a pub in Humberside faced fines of pounds 2,500 for stocking adulterated drinks after trading standards officers found brands of whisky diluted by 12 and 13 per cent water.The Food Safety Act, the Trades Description Act, the Consumer Protection Act and the Weights and Measures Act all aim to protect consumers by making it an offence to describe food in a misleading way.But the association says that legislation is not comprehensive enough and is subject to different interpretations.It wants tinned products to give clear indication of drained weights, and says that added water should be declared. And some market traders were selling turkey meat as chicken.Meat often caused problems – in the United Kingdom “meat” can mean the flesh along with fat, skin, rind, gristle and sinew.
The word “ham” can be used for a food which contains other ingredients. It may be highly processed and contain substances such as soya and milk protein.Food was not alone in causing problems. “Halal” meat also contained pork, which eventually led to a pounds 15,000 fine. The birds were being sold for twice the price of frozen poultry – and could have been a health hazard if frozen again.Also in Sheffield, 13 out of 54 samples of “minced beef” contained other meat such as lamb and pork. And a check by trading standards officers in Durham in May 1995 showed that 10 out of 11 pizzas examined contained up to 95 per cent of a substitute “cheese” made of skimmed milk and vegetable oil.In Sheffield, a public analyst bought 16 “fresh” turkeys from shops or markets and found that five had been frozen. GLENDA COOPER
Cheese pizzas that contain no cheese, “fresh” turkeys that have been frozen and “chicken” which contains pork are just three of the ways in which consumers are being ripped off by food producers, according to a new survey.
The Consumers’ Association reveals today that food producers are skimping on expensive ingredients by mixing them or swapping them with cheaper ones.Labelling can also mislead consumers – food mentioned in the product name is not always being contained in any quantity in the packet.In four government studies, 95 out of 874 samples of breaded scampi, battered fish products, instant coffees or vegetable oils were thought to be illegally adulterated or falsely described.

The sea can be just as cruel today as it was 200 years ago.”The Rose was built more than 15 years ago in Canada and is a recreation of the type of frigate that helped the British defeat Napoleon.The original HMS Rose was built at Hull in 1757 and played a major part in the blockade of the smugglers’ port of Newport, Rhode Island.Such was her fame that she is generally credited with being responsible for the formation of the American navy..

Plus, the Patriots usually play pretty well one week after a loss.Pats: 52Broncos: 17Andrew: When is the last time New England lost two games in a row? Weeks 9 and 10 of the 2006, if I’m not mistaken. It shouldn’t happen again as the Patriots avenge their newly-soiled record.Pats 28 Broncos 10Joe: The Pats will bounce back against the Broncos. The Pats don’t get depressed at the perfect season being over already, they get pissed and take out a lot of anger on the Broncos.Pats 42-Broncos 14The Decision: Pats bounce back, move to 5-1.Week 8 vs RamsChris: The Rams were supposed to be pretty good in 2007 We all know how that turned out They haven’t done much to add talent to the team either.

If that’s the way the Championship will be decided, I don’t want to win it.”That McRae will arrive in Chester two weeks on Sunday level with Sainz at the top of the Championship leaderboard is a miracle in itself. “Why would the team director support a driver who was leaving the team? Last week we all had a good idea Carlos was leaving.”A key reason for Richards ordering McRae to concede victory was the real danger from the unpredictable Spanish fans, who have been known to throw rocks at rival drivers in an attempt to benefit their local heroes.In Spain, when McRae stormed past Sainz (known affectionately as “El Matador”) and was soon leading the rally by nine seconds, the Spanish crowd were furious. Placards berated the Scot, even though the team had made it clear that Sainz would win. A Subaru team support car even had its tyres slashed.McRae is now worried that a foolish minority of the two million spectators on the RAC might try and take the Championship into their own hands, as allegedly happened in last year’s event.”If so-called fans can put logs in Carlos’s path, as he claimed last year, then of course I worry that they might try the same again this year,’ McRae said “I would urge them not to. “It is considerably harder starting [the RAC] knowing that you have to win,” he admitted.The irony of the situation is not lost on McRae. Four days after losing in Spain for fear of retribution from his team, McRae found out for sure that Sainz will leave Subaru, with whom he won the World Championship in 1990 and 1992, after the RAC Rally and move back to Toyota.”Now he has signed for Toyota, it makes the decision even more ludicrous,” protested the 27-year-old from Lanark.
The fiery Scot feels that he should have won in Catalonia and now be 10 points ahead of, not level pegging with the twice world champion from Madrid.”[Catalonia] was the best rally of my career, I was beating Carlos fair and square on the last day and it was wrong of DR (David Richards) to impose team orders with the Championship at stake,” McRae said. A threat that the joint Championship leaders would be ordered home in a predetermined formation was yesterday ruled out by the 555 Subaru team, for whom both drive. lt was the team director, David Richards, who controversially decided the outcome of the Catalonia Rally in Spain 10 days ago by imposing a “hold positions” order on Sainz and McRae. Sainz’s win and McRae’s second place put the pair equal at the top of the Championship, eight points ahead of the four-times champion, Juha Kankkunen.
The news that the season’s climax will be decided on driver skill and mechanical reliability will come as little relief for Scotland’s Colin McRae, twice British rally champion and determined to become his country’s first world champion. The gloves will be off in a straight fight for the 1995 World Rally Championship between Britain’s Colin McRae and Spain’s Carlos Sainz in the RAC Rally, the season’s finale in two weeks’ time.
I haven’t won a tournament for a while and I want desperately to win one before the end of the year, but in these conditions it is very hard to keep your concentration and score together.”Mark Mouland, who teams up with Woosnam for Wales in next week’s Heineken World Cup in China, shot a two-under-par 70.n Britain’s Richard Boxall shot a first-round 72 to be six shots off the pace, set by Seiki Okuda of Japan, in the Daiwa International in Sudama, Japan.. He is one stroke off the lead, held jointly by Australians Craig Parry and Paul Gow, along with Sweden’s Mathias Gronberg.Woosnam, who only decided to enter the event a few weeks ago, said: “It’s my punishment for playing badly all year.

Faldo shouldn’t need an invitation – he should get in automatically from the US money list or the world rankings.”. EVERY hundred years, it seems, rugby union is hit by a volcanic eruption of such cataclysmic proportions that it irreversibly transforms the game’s landscape. In 1895, it was the breakaway of the northern clubs to form rugby league and on Friday, 23 June, 1995, it was the official signing of the death certificate of amateurism. As we all know, the concept had been clinically dead for some time.
But at the historic press conference at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, Dr Louis Luyt’s persistent use of the euphemism “for development purposes” when asked how Rupert Murdoch’s millions would be spent, could not alter the fact that the top rugby union players in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia are hence forward going to be extremely wealthy young men as a result of the $550m deal with the southern hemisphere unions.
Nor was the significance of the timing of the announcement, on the eve of the World Cup final, lost on anyone. Normally, Graf’s return would have been top of the bill; instead, the centre of attention was Pierce, making a triumphant homecoming after her victory in the Australian Open a fortnight before – a result which meant that, for the first time since 1987, Graf was in possession of none of the four Grand Slam titles.Under the circumstances, what Graf has achieved in the four months that have followed, when her back has meant she has had to limit her appearances, has been remarkable. I arranged a meeting with him, in the foyer of his hotel in Pretoria. For all Dr Luyt’s protests that rugby in the Pacific countries will be protected and developed, it is hard to believe that this tripartite agreement can benefit countries like Fiji, Tonga and Western Samoa, whose international aspirations will surely be thwarted by the increased competition between the big three. There will simply be no room to accommodate those weaker countries in such a crowded schedule.Regrettably, too, it would seem that the British Lions who, since the inception of the World Cup, have been living on borrowed time, are moving closer to extinction.
One of the most appealing reasons for maintaining Lions tours was the financial benefit to the host country, but with pounds 35m a year pouring into New Zealand, South African and Australian coffers for the next 10 years, not to mention the revenue from sponsorship, advertising and gate receipts, that is no longer a pressing need. Furthermore, now that the global game operates on a four-year cycle there is additional pressure on the individual countries to undertake major tours as part of their World Cup preparation. The burden on the players, even allowing for the fact that they can now expect substantial remuneration, is close to intolerable as it is. The Lions, I suspect, are therefore an endangered species.Whether rugby union as we know it will follow them into extinction will depend very much on the decisions made in Paris in August.
Like the World Cup and the Olympics, the York Cycle of Mystery Plays comes round once every four years, performed in its native town by a large cast of predominantly amateur locals who thereby offer an approximate equivalent of the medieval craft guilds who originally mounted these biblical dramas. In this special acoustic, and with a roster of famous names – Thomas Allen as Tarquinius, Jean Rigby as Lucretia, Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Janice Watson as the chorus – it was a transparently clear account that left the work’s dramatic form open for inspection.There are two sticking points: the sudden dose of Christian morality in the epilogue and, elsewhere, a slight dysfunction between the roles of chorus, monologue and naturalistic speech. From their matrix of love and death, hope and despair, have sprung other Apollonian hymns to desire over the years, as well as Bacchic revels and social polemic. A man who has founded festivals, sparked off riots, conducted, and nurtured young composers must be both energetic and ordered in his life. How the polarities have yielded so much for so many is one of the themes of the festival.
Henze was still struggling for survival in war-torn Germany when Glyndebourne premiered Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia in 1946, and Steuart Bedford conducted Sunday’s concert performance at Snape Maltings just a month short of its half-century. The clash of lean and craggy counterpoint was the fuel for M50, whereas each page of the Henze gave fresh revelations of blended timbre. And like Colin Matthews’s M50, the concert’s opener, the piece could equally be heard as a brilliantly concise essay in symphonic velocity.
That kind of sensual charm has always been among his hallmarks, as baritone Alan Opie showed in his reading of the delicate 1950s classic, the Five Neapolitan Songs. Henze may stand among the world’s musical nobility, but put a pencil in his hand and he becomes a vessel for Dionysiac rage. In fact, Appassionatamente is a fantasia on the violent emotions of his recent opera, The Ocean Betrayed, so that any simple equation linking life and art is probably facile. Yet, the night before at Snape Maltings, his Appassionatamente had nearly blown the heads off an enthusiastic audience in its stunning UK premiere, given by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Oliver Knussen.
Sir John had described Henze’s daily routine as pleasures in the afternoon, hard work in the morning Very intense work, to judge from this score. What is it about manuscript paper that has such an effect on composers? Hans Werner Henze, chatting on Sunday to Sir John Drummond at Aldeburgh’s Lighthouse Restaurant, sounded cool and witty, a man basking in the glow of a new autobiography, a major CD reissue of his music by Deutsche Grammophon, and his role as featured festival composer to celebrate his 70th birthday. Paz-Tomlinson is a poet who strikes out boldly at the world through language, and recognises his own sense of importance as an intellectual adventurer. This man’s delivery is fearless and almost hectoring – as if he is giving us all a necessary lesson in how to read great poetry in public. The other is Paz himself, a much more muted, melancholy, tentative figure altogether, who reads undemonstratively, and with a painful, almost doleful, sense of his own inwardness.n `The Double Flame’, a new collection of essays by Octavio Paz on the subjects of love and eroticism, has just been published by the Harvill Press. He then helpfully explains why Charles Tomlinson is part of this evening’s cultural circus. “Octavio Paz is associated with Charles Tomlinson because he is a poet for whom the visible world exists.” Unfortunately, I happen to blink as he says that.Then Tomlinson and Paz step up to the microphones, and there follows almost an hour of Paz’s poetry – read in the original Spanish by Paz, and in English by Tomlinson In that order.
This is the poet Charles Tomlinson, Paz’s translator, old pal and sometime collaborator.Schmidt, mindful of the hour, races through an intellectually well-stuffed lecture about: Paz’s value to Western culture (increasingly recognised since 1971, a quite unexpected historical turning-point); modernist traditions of discontinuity and Paz’s place within the same; one poet’s search for his own beginnings; Paz as point of confluence. Which seems, to the minority of the audience whose first language is English, rather unhelpful; and, to the majority of the audience who speak Spanish and are either employed by the Mexican Embassy or have managed to ferret out a distant friend who is, absolutely marvellous.To listen to these two men read is to discover that there are not one but two Octavio Pazs standing in front of us One is the Paz created by Tomlinson. But not a typical Gee-Gee at all: this one, since his retirement, has dared himself to grow a set of tremendously long and aberrantly bushy sideburns. Why is Octavio Paz so late? This is not, after all, some jazz bash. It is, according to the press release, an encounter with Latin America’s greatest living poet. Then a literature officer bounds, gazelle-like, a little breathless, on to the stage Apologies for the delay, she says Some translations are on their way to us in a taxi As soon as they arrive, we’ll start.
