Why the Queen and the royal family stopped celebrating Christmas at Windsor Castle
The royal family spend their winter months at Sandringham
With one hundred days to go until Christmas, we have decided to delve into the tradition of the festivity within the royal household. While in recent years Christmas and New Year has been celebrated at Sandringham House, the Queen previously used to mark the holiday at Windsor Castle. British monarchs have been celebrating the festive season at Windsor since the twelfth century, with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert opting to reside there with their growing family in winter months. This historic building was where the first ever Christmas tree was "born" during Queen Victoria's reign. However, during the reign of the Queen's father, King George VI, the Christmas season was almost always spent on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, and has since become a tradition that the Queen has largely adopted.

During the sixties, when the Queen's children were young, the royal family did mark the special occasion at Windsor, where the royals now spend their Easter. But since 1988, when the castle was being rewired, royal Christmases returned to Sandringham House. The Queen's former press secretary Dickie Arbiter recently told HELLO!: "Traditionally the family has always gone to Sandringham at Christmas. It's close to London where she does occasions almost right up to Christmas. She wants to be at Sandringham for the beginning of February, which is the anniversary of the death of her father. So Sandringham has always been the traditional place to go for Christmas until New Year."

He added: "Although, having said that, at one stage Windsor Castle was Christmas because it was big enough to take the whole family. But since the fire in 1992, Christmas and New Year – particularly Christmas – it has been in Sandringham. Sandringham is always winter and Balmoral is always summer." As to why the Queen never returned to Windsor for Christmas, a spokesperson from Buckingham Palace told HELLO!: "It would have been the queen's personal choice, it would have been a decision the Queen had taken."

THE BLACK TIE ENSEMBLE – AN INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE
It is a fact of life in South Africa that the opportunities for young singers who aspire towards attaining any heights in the field of opera no longer exist to the extent they once did. This reality is one that confronts virtually every young person who chooses to enter the world of the performing arts, in whatever metier. Artists have been forced to create their own work and to adopt a truly entrepreneurial spirit, much in the manner of the touring theatrical companies of old, and new opportunities are being created every day. It was in this spirit of entrepreneurship and with a determination to preserve the traditions of opera performance in this country, not to mention the creation of a pathway for gifted young singers to attain their goals, that South Africa's diva, Mimi Coertse, and celebrated opera director and costume designer, Neels Hansen, decided to create the Black Tie Ensemble. The Ensemble has during the last two years developed into one of the most exciting classical music and singing projects in Gauteng. Proudly sponsored by Nedcor Investment Bank until 2002, with additional support given by BASA and Nedcor Foundation, the Black Tie Ensemble consists of a multicultural group of classically trained and talented young opera singers from diverse cultural groups in South Africa, and they aspire towards bringing opera and quality singing to a wider audience, mainly by way of performing at CORPORATE GATHERINGS and INDUSTRIAL EDUTAINMENT, to schools and to outlying areas. They have also performed at various Arts Festivals in South Africa and Namibia. This initiative enables them to earn an income while gaining experience and realising their dreams with their glorious voices. The experience gained since the formation of the company in March 1999, has let to its now being in a position to embrace more challenging projects, and they staged their first opera, RIGOLETTO, during May 2001 to rave reviews. Their second opera, MADAMA BUTTERFLY, was staged in the Spoornet State Theatre, the new "home" of the Black Tie Ensemble since August 2001. The Ensemble was very honoured to have Mrs Zanele Mbeki attend the opening night. The Black Tie Ensemble elicits standing ovations at virtually all their performances. The media have been extremely impressed with the project particularly because the standard has been consistently high. "Triumphant staging of Verdi's RIGOLETTO" – Riek van Rensburg Pretoria News "The Black Tie se RIGOLETTO `n puik toekomsbelegging" – Thys Odendaal Beeld "Black Ties se RIGOLETTO prysenswaardig" – Beeld "Drie van Black Tie genooi om in Beijing te sing" – Thys Odendaal Beeld "Grense is só in Bloemfontein oorgesteek" – Marina Griebenow Volksblad "Black Ties sit finale stempel van welslae op fees" – Volksblad "A Magical Butterfly" – Riek van Rensburg Pretoria News "Prime accolade in this production goes to Zodumo Mboniswa" – Riek van Rensburg Pretoria News "This multi-racial production of Puccini's immortal MADAMA BUTTERFLY is a triumph for the Black Tie Ensemble" – Michael Traub The Citizen "A production not to be missed, one that South Africa can be proud of" – Michael Traub The Citizen The Black Tie Ensemble has since its launch in March 1999 made appearances at functions for auspicious audiences such as: * South African Airways' Executives and Lifetime Platinum cardholders * Soirees for Vodacom, Altron, Classic FM * The Cultural Festival "Aardklop" in Potchefstroom * The "Namibië Kunstefees" in Windhoek * A performance for a delegation of cultural advisors from Germany * A soiree for Hospice in Port Elizabeth * A soiree for The Airports Company of South Africa * The Lipizzaners Viennese Ball * The Garden World Concert * Several regular concerts and Soirees for Rapport and City Press * Edutainment programme: The Mountain to Mohammed Project at the Highveld Steel factory near Witbank * One of the ensemble members, Linda Zitha, sang on 14 November 2000 at the Earth Gallery, National History Museum London, and had a great personal success.

This spectacular event was arranged by Ogilvy One Worldwide for South African Tourism. * Several VIP soirees and concerts for Nedcor Investment Bank * A recording for Kyknet's Draadloos – this was aired on 22 December 2000 * Eight Christmas concerts with the Lipizzaner horses at the Lipizzaner Centre during December 2000 * A Christmas Eve street concert at Montecasino Fourways * During February 2001 the Ensemble performed for the Directors and Editors of all the newspapers and magazines belonging to the Naspers Group. * Four Ensemble members sang their first Edwardian Soiree at the Sammy Marks Museum outside Pretoria on 27 March 2001 for a selected audience. * During May 2001 the Black Tie Ensemble completed their first full-length opera RIGOLETTO (Verdi) at the Aula, Pretoria and received excellent reviews from the Press. * During 2001, the Black Tie Ensemble performed regularly at the Kloppenheim Country Estate in the Machadodorp area. * The South African Department of Foreign Affairs in Beijing invited members of The Black Tie Ensemble, as part of the Youth Day Celebrations, to perform at concerts in Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai * The Ensemble has staged their first true corporate opera for their main sponsor, Nedcor Investment Bank with Opera in Miniature: La Traviata (Verdi). This 70-minute performance was staged in the Agfa Theatre on the Square, Sandton. This performance was repeated at the Kloppenheim Country Estate. * A performance in the open air at the Royal Livingston Hotel, Zambia – a corporate function v Invited to sing for Mr Mandela at the Newsmaker of the Decade Award. * During April 2002 the Black Tie Ensemble completed their second full-length opera MADAMA BUTTERFLY (Puccini) at the Spoornet State Theatre, Pretoria and received excellent reviews from the Press.

FUTURE ENGAGEMENTS INCLUDE: The monthly concerts at the Ristorante Ritrovo continue in support of the Adopt-an-Artist Scheme. Already eleven members of the Black Tie Ensemble have been adopted. The Ensemble will also continue with their outreach work at schools and factories into the new year. The Ensemble is planning to do Puccini's La Bohème during May 2003 in Pretoria at the Spoornet State Theatre. The Ensemble can be divided into groups of 2 artists, up to the full Ensemble, depending on the client's needs, but we have found in the past that with a minimum of four singers, we can compile a suitable programme. The programme can then include arias, duets, trios and quartets. The first half of the programme usually includes well-known opera-arias, duets and ensembles. The second half includes operetta-excerpts, Italian songs and excerpts from the classical musicals. The Black Tie Ensemble also performs Opera in Miniature, a concept that has become very popular with the Corporates. The most well known arias and ensemble work from an opera are combined with narration into a 75 – 90 minute programme. This is a short staged version with costumes and props of the original work. The latest development for the Black Tie Ensemble is the Adopt-an-Artist scheme. Companies, families and individuals can adopt an artist for a year to secure these artists' income so that they can focus on their art form and artistic development.

BUSKAID AND THE BUSKAID SOWETO STRING PROJECT
In 1992, British viola player Rosemary Nalden registered Buskaid as a charitable trust after she heard a BBC radio interview about a group of young string players in Diepkloof, Soweto. Over 100 of her colleagues raised money in a simultaneous "Busk" at 16 British Rail stations for the young township musicians. Since then there have been four other "Busks" and Buskaid have been raising money for township musicians ever since. The Buskaid Soweto String Project (BSSP) was founded in January 1997 and is made up of younger members of the original Soweto project. Its students are from the underprivileged community and range in age from eight to twenty-one. Rosemary Nalden teaches at BSSP in Soweto. The BSSP ensemble is widely sought after for a variety of prestigious events, including for workshops with a number of international artists. BSSP have done several performances for Nelson Mandela and President Thabo Mbeki. BSSP members have toured London, France, Ireland, the USA – in New York and California. They have performed for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh. Buskaid recorded their first CD in 1998, released in the UK and South Africa. Their second CD Soweto Dance was released in South Africa and in 1999 Rosemary Nalden won the Shoprite Checkers SABC3 Woman of the Year Arts and Culture Award for her work with Buskaid.

LIZZIE – ELIZABETH RENNIE CONTEMPORARY MUSICIAN Violin and Viola
Lizze is from an extraordinarily musical family in Cape Town, South Africa. She started playing violin and piano at around age six, then got serious on viola in her teens. After dropping out of med school in 1989, Lizzie became the youngest member of the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra. In '91 she was awarded a scholarship from the University of Cincinnati to study viola performance with Masao Kawasaki. During her three years in the USA, she played in many ensembles, toured Mexico, played in the Aspen Music Festival, gave recitals in New York City and graduated a year early! Lizzie returned to SA in '94, having graduated summa cum laude, and took up the co-prinicipal viola position in the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra. Later she moved on to become principal violist of the PACOFS Orchestra in Bloemfontein and then in '98 moved to Joburg to join the National Symphony Orchestra. When the NSO closed down in 2000, Lizzie embarked on a freelance career which grew from basic survival into a richly varied experience. She has established herself as a "studio-friendly" muso in Gauteng and has contributed to recordings for top artists such as Paul Hanmer, Johnny Clegg, Anton Goosen, Johannnes Kerkorrel, Nianell, PJ Powers, Lionel Bastos, Theuns Jordaan, Jannie du Toit, Laurika Rauch, Vusi Mahlasela, Zim Ngqawana, Coleske and more. Lizzie also tasted the life of rock-n-roll as the violinist for the band Watershed, with whom she played for two years, the highlight of which was a European tour in 2002. "Now that the Watershed chapter is over for me, I continue to busy myself freelancing and teaching, whilst enjoying developing my own contemporary solo act, encouraged by numerous requests to do something bold and new – a South African answer to the Vanessa Mae idea. I love the fact that my skills allow such a wonderfully broad range of musical projects: one day it's Mozart and the next it's something with a completely different groove! I truly believe that this colourful variety is a fitting reflection of current life in South Africa and I am grateful to be able to embrace music in the fullest sense possible"
PALM STRINGS QUARTET
The four professional classical musicians who make up Palm Strings Quartet play a wide variety of music from Baroque, Classical and Pop to jazz. The quartet comprises of two violins, viola and cello and was formed in 1986. Their versatility is evident in the assorted venues in which they perform, at wine farms, churches, restaurants, clubs, hotels, for launches, private functions, company incentives and recitals. Palm Strings Quartet is both an aural and a visual treat that enhances any occasion. Their clients include The Two Oceans Aquarium, Chameleon Indabas, The Table Bay Hotel and Rennies Travel.
SALON FIVE MUSIC ENSEMBLE
Salon Five Music Ensemble comprises of four musicians on flute, violin, clarinet and piano and is led by pianist Jacobus Swart who is also composer and conductor. He started his musical career at the age of three and has studied with the world's finest teachers. Jacobus has worked with and gained a love for Salon Music from Robert Stoltz the famed Austrian composer. Salon Five suits any occasion from corporate functions, gala events, and cocktail parties to dinner parties and weddings. They are well known for their excellent performances and ability to adapt to any requirement and event. Their repertoire is derived from numerous spheres of music, ranging from the classics to jazz, Baroque to The Beatles.Duo Musica consists of Jacob Swart on piano(clavinova) and Ettienne Malan on Saxophone.
THE SOWETO STRING QUARTET
The Soweto String Quartet is a musical explosion of four Africans playing eighteenth century musical instruments, but with the rich pulse of Africa flowing through their veins and into their music. Their music comprises works both contemporary and traditional, some original and some borrowed from Africa's rich treasure house of melody. The Soweto String Quartet's qualifications are impeccable, and they portray the timeless spirit of Africa. The Soweto String Quartet became a full-time professional outfit in 1992, the time when South Africa was in the throes of dramatic change. Sandile on how the changes affected the band: "The elections in 1994 turned everything around for us. Our first really important gig was actually at President Mandela's inauguration. That was very emotional, but it was also the turning point for our career. The President even started recommending us for all sorts of other jobs". The Soweto String Quartet have recorded two previous albums for BMG Africa – Zebra Crossing in 1994 and Renaissance in 1996. Both were a huge success. And like Millennia, the albums showcase the bands unique blend of traditional rhythms, Township Jazz, Pop songs, Jazz Fusion, and of course, strong Classical influences. The songs are arranged in the band's unique and vibrant fashion – a true celebration of the resilient township spirit. The last few years have seen the band play all around the world as music ambassadors for the New South Africa. But their home will always be in Soweto as Sandile explains: "We belong to the people. And there are a lot of people coming through studying these instruments and taking an interest. They don't think we are quite so crazy anymore". Soweto String Quartet, comprising the three Khemese brothers and friend, Makhosini Mnguni, grew out of a Khemese family musical conspiracy. The Khemese children had no choice but to flourish in their artistry, in spite of the political oppression that held them down. Sons of a virtuoso conductor father and choral singer mother, Sandile and Reuben were naturally drawn into their uncle's township music school. There they soon switched from choral singing to playing violins for the Soweto Symphony Orchestra. Between 1980 and 1986, Sandile pursued a music scholarship in England, which included four years at the Royal North College of Music in Manchester, after which he returned to the township to teach his brothers everything he had learned. He was able to obtain a job teaching the traditional African marimba instrument at the Madimba School of Music. After three years of sacrificing his violin playing, Sandile, his brothers and Makhosini decided it was time to regroup. For ten years, the Quartet weathered the criticisms of peers who taunted them for playing "funny European instruments". "Our agenda included encouraging the youth to master these so-called Eurocentric instruments," says Sandile, "as well as improving the standard and appreciation of classical music in the townships." Since then, and since the miraculous birth of true democracy in their native South Africa, the Quartet has intensified its experimental intermixing of musical styles and instrumentation-bringing guitars, keyboards and percussion into a musical exploration of the inner dimensions of their cross-cultural experience. With an eclectic mix of African rhythms and intonations, Soweto String Quartet presents an aesthetic landscape that knows no cultural, temporal or geographical barriers.

Brexit & Foreign Policy
Ourselves Alone: How Brexiters shrugged off international law
Aidan McQuade
Leave chiefs' colonial view of rights means less 'control' for the rest of us
The late Tom Bingham, perhaps the most distinguished English jurist of his generation, noted that legal scholars trace the concept of rule of law back to Aristotle.
However the concept is apparent, at least in nascent form, in Sophocles' Oedipus the King written a century earlier.
In this the king realises as his own investigation finds himself responsible for the plague on Thebes that he must be subject to his own earlier ruling on how the culprit should be held accountable.
Bingham built on prior formulations of rule of law to argue that the idea had eight principles that were fundamental to it.
These included that the law must afford adequate protection of fundamental human rights, and that the state must comply with its obligations in international law as in national law.
Taking back control
For hard Right ideologues, such as Michael Gove, Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, such ideals of rule of law sit at odds with their own conception of the supremacy of Parliament as a fundamental of the unwritten British Constitution.
But generations of parliamentarians have never seen any conflict between rule of law and rule of parliament.
So they have, over the past 40 years, set constraints on the unfettered power of parliament, notably in the form of the Human Rights Act, which is administered by the UK's Supreme Court with appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, and the treaties that the UK freely entered into to obtain its membership of the European Union, which are overseen by the European Court of Justice.
So, when Gove, Johnson and Farage talked about taking back control during their poisonous campaign to take the UK out of the EU, what they were talking about was removing the constraints that derive from the treaty obligations which have provided the manifold benefits that arise from EU membership.
Doubtless they were also thinking about national law, specifically the protections from government excesses afforded to citizens by the Human Rights Act.
It is axiomatic that a partnership like the European Union, indeed any international treaty with other nations, must introduce mutual responsibilities and ideally should have some independent body to oversee that the parties to the treaty comply.
Otherwise the already fragile concepts of international rule of law become meaningless.
Colonial nostalgia
British experience of international rule of law during its colonial period was rather different to such contemporary expectations.
It had little consideration of mutual benefits but rather had an altogether more lopsided aspect, with no recourse to independent arbitration or appeals to human rights for the colonial subjects whose exploitation enriched the UK to such an extraordinary extent.
This colonial perspective contributed greatly to the ludicrous myth of Britain standing alone during the Second World War.
This myth insultingly overlooks the vital contributions made by Africans, Australians, Canadians, Indians, and Kiwis to the struggles against Nazism and Japanese militarism. This myth also gravely overlooks the horrendous cost that this entailed, most infamously in the Bengal famine of 1943.
But a theme running through the depressing debates relating to the UK's EU membership in the run up to the referendum of 23 June was that the UK can still 'stand alone'.
This was underpinned by that weird continuing sense of colonial entitlement: that the UK should be allowed to cherry-pick what its relationship with the EU should be without any appreciation that UK membership should bring responsibilities not just privileges.
Taking Leave
This attitude was copper-fastened by a careful cultivation of xenophobia by the Leave campaigns, and by a startling disregard for mere facts, from the true cost of EU membership to the actual provisions of EU treaties and the rights and obligations of member states under those treaties.
This willful ignorance and misinformation to the UK electorate continues past the result of the referendum.
On the morning of 27 June Boris Johnson declared:
'The only change – and it will not come in any great rush – is that the UK will extricate itself from the EU's extraordinary and opaque system of legislation: the vast and growing corpus of law enacted by a European Court of Justice from which there can be no appeal.'
Perhaps Johnson rarely lets facts get in the way of an opportunity to stoke the prejudices of his listeners. Perhaps he is merely supremely uninterested in facts.
The European Court of Justice enacts nothing. It administers the body of law agreed by the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers, of which, to date, the UK has been an equal party.
It is too early to see what will be all the consequences of the UK's repudiation of the EU.
Perhaps this will sate the appetite of the ideologues of the Right for unfettered power if what comes to pass is a recession-hit Little England as Scotland prepares to steer its own course as a full and independent member of the EU.
But it is unlikely. And the Human Rights Act remains for a while longer, another affront to the Tea Party-ist fantasies of a resurgent and exclusivist English nationalism.
Gove or Johnson may like to eruditely comment, after Milton, that they prefer to rule in hell than serve in heaven as they seek to translate their peculiar Cromwellian version of Ourselves Alone into a new English polity.
Oedipus could not bear to look upon the devastation that he had wrought on his family and city so he tore out his own eyes.
Today Gove, Farage, and Johnson look upon the wasteland that they have created of young people's hopes for modest opportunities to study, work and fall in love among their fellow European neighbours, and they judge that it is good.

One Response to "Ourselves Alone: How Brexiters shrugged off international law"
Aidan.
I have read this article a few times and can't see what your point is if any. I also can't see the relevance of the link to the Matthew Collins of Hope not Hate article. Could you explain?


You'll find lots of perspectives to the answer to the question of what adoption is. For the purpose of the short article, we are going to stick into a discussion of child adoption. Legitimately, the action of adoption involves a man apart from the natural parent of a child legally assuming the responsibility of parenting that child. Child adoption is recognized as a noble action, as it provides a parentless/displaced youngster an opportunity at a brand new dwelling and also a new life.
Typically, an adoption agency facilitates an adoption.
There are a number of rationales to get a couple to need to adopt a kid. Baby adoption or kid adoption is found most commonly in a predicament when the couple is not able to have their very own kids. That is what could be termed biological demand. A couple may desperately need to have a child of their very own, but might not have the ability to, due to a number of medical reasons. This type of couple would ideally look at adoption as an absolute alternative.
There are many people who do not wish to undergo the procedure for childbirth, and such couples might discover it to be more easy and occasionally safer for the health of the mother to adopt a child rather than carrying an infant to term.
Then there are some other people who might often adopt kids out of their humaneness. There are all of them adopted.
One growing trend today is star adoptions. This is being increasingly found in America. Celebrities so are adopting infants from underdeveloped or war, and have come around take some responsibility for uncared for and/or orphaned kids – or famine-ravaged nations in order to give these children a much better chance at life. Some high profile celebrities to have adopted kids contain pop star Madonna actor Angelina Jolie, and also a slew of others.
The instinct to have kids is among the most powerful that human beings have, and when a couple has not been in a position to meet this, the option often lies in adoption. Adopting a kid is a tough choice for couples it frequently means they have given up on the possibility of having a kid on their own. However, giving a child which is adopted love and support as it'd be with a birth child can make life every bit as amazing. Couples that have been trying to get pregnant giving the love that they have to a child, and are frequently one of the most caring individuals that they adopt will truly make that child their very own.
You must get all the info which you can pertaining to the procedure before beginning a kid adoption process. Additionally, you will must decide whether you want to adopt a young child from a foreign land from your own native country for one. The child you determine that you just want will also have a bearing on the adoption agency you decide on.
Adoption agencies tend to manage special types of adoptions, as well as the agency you select should match your expectations.

A version of Jimmy Reed's Baby What's Wrong became the unit's first single for EMI Records and entered the charts in its first week of release. This was followed by Little Egypt which brought international interest and took the band into the Swedish top 10.
The group went on to record many classic R&B singles as well as three albums, The Sect, The Country Sect and The Rock Sects In which is notable for the inclusion of Why Don't You Smile Now which was part-composed by Lou Reed and John Cale prior to their founding of The Velvet Underground. A ghoulish E.P. The Sect Sing Sick Songs also gained them much notoriety and a blanket radio ban.

Sarah Hyland Naked CellPhone Photos Leaked
American actress Sarah Hyland is best known for her work in the Modern Family sitcom where she plays a stereotypical teenager. She's funny and cute, a deadly combo.
Sarah Hyland looks much younger than her age. In fact she looks like a real teenager all the time, even when she dresses up. You'll probably feel like a dirty old man when you check her out on Google Images.
These leaked nudes of her do not reveal her face, only a well trimmed crotch. There's no way of knowing if these are indeed Hyland's nude photos but there's a chance that they are. And even if they are not, it's still acceptable to imagine that they are. We're terrible people.
Sarah Jane Hyland (born November 24, 1990) is an American actress. Born in New York, Hyland attended the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan, followed by small roles in the films Private Parts (1997), Annie (1999), and Blind Date (2007). She gained her first major role as Haley Dunphy on the ABC sitcom Modern Family (2009-present), for which she has received critical acclaim and numerous accolades and nominations, sharing four Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series with her cast members and garnering a Critics' Choice Television Award nomination Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
Alongside Modern Family, Hyland is also known for her roles in the films Struck by Lightning (2012), Scary Movie 5 (2013), and Vampire Academy (2014).
