We knocked on their bedroom door but were swiftly ordered back to bed. We had disturbed a couple of massive hangovers: my parents lived a permanent cocktail party My brother persisted “Boatie!”, he cried He was all of two years old “Ian’s Boatie!”, I meekly repeated. My father appeared at the door in his silk dressing gown and escorted us angrily back to our bedroom.
Within a minute of seeing what my brother had so instinctively realised was a threat, however, the Boyd family were running for their lives, dressed only in nightclothes, down a steep hill in torrential rain Our amah carried Alison, our brand-new baby sister We reached the nearby police station where we took refuge. Within seconds of us leaving the house, it was destroyed by a landslide – a familiar phenomenon on the Peak. The next day I remember looking at the ruins of Dad’s new green Mark Seven Jaguar, which had been crushed to within four inches of the ground.

Ian’s dawn whimpering had saved us from a similar fate, but we were homeless and, because Dad had not been insured, penniless.The second event happened only a few months after that traumatic landslide incident and is more surreal. I remember telling my dad that I had seen some hippos walking across the golf course which led down to the shores of Lake Victoria, in front of our pink bougainvillaea-wrapped house in Jinja, Uganda. He told me that I was talking nonsense.Throughout my weird nomadic childhood, my parents, Donald and Luba, provided me with a series of stories about their lives which have contributed to what has become, for my family, a soap opera of epic proportions. Last year I was commissioned by the BBC to direct a very personal film which would chronicle my parents’ lives and, of course, my own upbringing This has taken me on an odyssey to Russia, China and Africa.

The extent to which I have embellished their stories over the years with my own romantic, and mischievous, imagination has been matched only by the wide disparity between their versions of their lives before they met and fell in love in Shanghai.I have often toyed with fictionalising the Donald and Luba story. This would have made the blurred facts easier to integrate; it would have made the embellishments simpler to disguise. Where the memory lapsed or the facts were boring, I could have just invented incidents to keep things interesting. But in choosing to make a documentary, I have been forced to arrive at some sort of truth – not least because I am featuring my mother, who is still alive, my immediate family, whose hungry curiosity has created much of the mythology, and my youngest brother, who has seen and heard almost everything I have.For this investigation into the murky areas of my family’s history, I have had a significant watchdog: my 21-year-old daughter Kate is my collaborator. Apart from her talent as a film-maker (she is in her final year at university studying film and television), Kate has been a crucial witness to my genealogical dig. She has pressurised me, sometimes unwittingly, to avoid doctoring the truth for dramatic effect and her reaction to our joint confrontation with the reality of our family’s drama has been a vital tool in telling the story accurately.I had never visited Kiev, where my maternal grandparents were born, nor had I been to Harbin in Manchuria, where my mother was born, nor Shanghai, where my parents were married. I was very young when we lived in Hong Kong and Uganda, and I yearned to make some kind of atavistic attempt to retrace my mother’s mysterious journey from Manchuria, through to its tragic denouement in a bedsit in Earl’s Court.

We wanted a solution that would let us focus on new projectsso we could better contribute to the success of the institute. TheCompellent SAN has a single, easy-to-use interface that reducesprovisioning times and automates frequent tasks. We estimate that it hascut the time to manage storage by at least 50 percent.”Giovanni Oteri, ICT Manager of Milan-based Iper Montebello, a pioneer andleader of hypermarkets in Italy with revenue of EUR 2.5 billion, said:”One of the main reasons why we decided to adopt a new storage solutionwas to react quickly and thoroughly to increasing demands, typicallydetermined by the users’ request to keep more historical data online.Once we realized how innovative the Compellent technology was, all otherstorage options seemed obsolete to us. We have been really satisfied withour experience with the Compellent solution because it has saved usmoney, made it easier to plan future storage investments and allowed usto plan a modular future growth strategy.”Samuel Chemouni, IT Services Manager for fashion retailer Gerard Darel inParis, France, said: “We considered Compellent’s SAN alongside solutionsfrom some of the biggest names in the industry.

I was also impressed with the scalability of the SAN,which allows it to grow with our organization’s storage requirements –and with the excellent levels of customer support I have received fromCompellent.”The continued success of Compellent’s global channel strategy is reflectedin the fact that from May 3-7 the company will host a record number ofchannel partners at its annual conference, C-Drive, in Minneapolis.

Losses on property and doubtful accounting policies compounded the problems, giving Hongkong Land the opportunity it needed to build a substantial stake at a knock- down price.. For most players, the idea of changing balls even once during a match is unthinkable: manufacturers complain that the British will play a ball until it can scarcely get up.

Following two subsequent warnings of a profits shortfall Richard Lines, the then chairman who founded MTM in 1979, and Tom Baxter, the finance director, resigned.Frank Buckley, chairman, said that BTP, anxious to expand into the US where MTM was big, had put forward outline proposals to MTM for an agreed takeover bid in February and begun a due diligence review. They believe the decision goes against the founding laws of the European Community that give the Parliament autonomy to run its own affairs, and say they do not intend to be bound by the Edinburgh decision.Their objections may not change anything in the short term, though certain estimates suggest that the system will short-change the taxpayer by thousands of pounds. The manoeuvre netted 3.8 million Trimoco shares, taking Hartwell’s shareholding to 42 per cent.Another buying spree yesterday boosted its holding to 46.5 per cent.

IT IS easy to think of Lady Janner as a kind of Queen Mother figure in the world in which she was active for so long – as a magistrate, as a social worker, as a walker of political corridors, and above all as one of the leaders of Britain’s Jewish community.

It will run in parallel with another tamoxifen trial which began recruiting volunteers earlier this yea, and aims to see if the drug can prevent breast cancer in healthy women with a family history of the disease. This earlier trial ran into ethical problems because of the risks of giving healthy women such a potent hormonal drug. Women with breast cancer are needed for a four-year study of the drug tamoxifen, a successful preventive treatment for the disease, which is believed to be responsible for the recent fall in the death rate. The Cancer Research Campaign yesterday launched an appeal for 20,000 women to take part in “probably the most ambitious cancer trial ever undertaken”, writes Liz Hunt. The NEC needs to be fully informed about the reports they have received.”Before meeting Mr Prescott, Mr Church said he was there to prove the integrity of his local district party: “What we are really going to say to them now is that we expect you to either put up or shut up. We expect you to prove there has been bullying, intimidation and threats or alternatively admit it was all a big mistake.” He left the meeting without comment..

Council leader Dave Church, dubbed locally Citizen Dave after the left- wing television character Citizen Smith, spent two hours before the panel.

A team of Tony Blair’s senior trouble-shooters met suspended leaders from Walsall District Labour Party behind closed doors yesterday to investigate claims of intimidation tactics, writes Peter Victor. Whether Mrs Shephard’s scheme will encourage people to come forward or discourage them is unclear.”David Hart, general secretary of the NAHT, said qualifications would only attract the best potential heads if salary levels and administrative support in the job were also addressed.. Head teachers’ salaries ranged from less than pounds 25,000 in one small school to more than 45,000 in a large secondary.Mr Howson said teachers were being put off applying for promotion by budget cuts and redundancies as well as by the extra administrative duties imposed through local management.He added: “People don’t like being the bearers of bad news, and if they become head they know they may have to tell staff that they can’t employ another teacher or that they have to cut a secretary. In inner London, more than one-third of posts had to be readvertised in the first seven months of 1995 compared with less than a quarter last year.In Lancashire, which has a large number of small rural schools, the percentage had risen from 17 to 26 per cent in the same period. Thirty per cent of outgoing head teachers had retired early compared with just 24 per cent who had left at retirement age. A quarter of those who had retired had done so because of ill health or stress.Difficulties in recruiting good quality head teachers were more severe in some areas than others, Mr Howson found.

In these areas, heads now often face a full teaching schedule plus administrative duties.The questionnaire of 200 schools, commissioned by the National Association of Head Teachers from John Howson, of Oxford Brookes University, also showed that for the first time a majority of new appointments were women. But more men were still recruited in secondary schools, and the chances of a woman being appointed were far less if there were a large number of applications.Mr Howson found that applications for primary headships had dropped by 20 per cent since 1988, and for deputy headships by 30 per cent. Many teachers have always been reluctant to work in urban areas, but problems in the countryside have escalated because of budget cuts. FRAN ABRAMS

Head teachers’ jobs are so stressful that fewer teachers are applying for promotion and the majority of heads are retiring early, according to a survey published yesterday.A plan by Gillian Shephard, Secretary of State for Education and Employment, to train aspiring heads could simply deter even more potential applicants by showing them the grim realities of headship before they start, the report’s author said last night.The research showed small rural schools and those in the inner cities to be the worst affected. He said that this hitherto had been forbidden territory with schools and parents fearing what they might uncover and pupils afraid of punishment..
