The news that four out of 10 shops will have to shut in the next five years, casting further doubt on the future of the beleaguered British high street, need not be greeted with dismay.
beleaguered adj. 被围困的;四面楚歌的
dismay n. 灰心;沮丧;惊慌 v. 使沮丧;使惊慌
There is no reason to be downhearted – we should embrace change. This could be very positive. My hope is that the disappearance of large retailers will provide an opportunity for young entrepreneurs to set up in affordable rental shop fronts and market units. I started my first fashion business, Red or Dead, in Camden market and Kensington market 30 years ago, and in many ways today feels like the early 80s and we are seeing a renaissance of a variation of the serendipitous market. In Wembley, north London, shops have closed on the high street and have been turned into multi-business outlets by the Asian community. In Gateshead, there are examples of creative communities getting together and attempting to reuse empty spaces such as the Shed project on Gateshead High Street where, working with the council, they have brought vibrancy back to this area of a town that was sinking fast. It has so successfully transformed a large, former bed retailer (the Bed Shed) that a second Shed will be opening soon.
downhearted adj. 垂头丧气的;无精打采的
shop front 店面;门面
renaissance n. 新生;复活 Renaissance (欧洲14-16世纪)文艺复兴
But for any new-style high street to work requires good town centre planning and the cornerstone of this is common sense. Most of us want places that give us everything we need to fulfil our lives. Give us a town centre where we can live in an affordable home, walk, cycle or take easy public transport to employment, be able to go to the cinema, theatre, gallery, nightclub or gig, kick a ball in a park with our mates or our kids, read a book under a magnolia tree, maybe grow a bit of veg on an allotment, watch a bit of sport, while away the time at a cafe or a bar, shop at cool independent stores. We have to develop places that people want to see and be seen in. Most of us love people watching, get a buzz from other human beings. I don't believe we want to do most of our shopping online, especially as we are spending more and more of our working lives in front of a screen.
Vancouver is a city that has got it right. It boasts a wonderful natural setting but it doesn't rely on its natural beauty for liveability. Its commitment to the "green agenda" and the serendipity of being able to find independent cafes, second-hand vinyl record stores and vintage clothes stores right next to the big brands gives the city an ambience British cities have lost to the land value greed exerted by pension-fund landlords and short-sighted councils.
serendipity n. 意外新发现
vinyl record 黑胶唱片
vintage clothes 复古的衣裳
ambience n. 气氛,布景
exert v. 运用;发挥;施以影响
Closer to home, Copenhagen has ensured it hasn't drifted towards the "clone town" status bestowed upon most indistinguishable British towns and cities. There are streets full of quirky start-up businesses next to chain stores and it has employed urban designers such as Jan Gehl to ensure the city is a joy to walk around and cars are relegated to fourth place behind walking, cycling (what a great cycling infrastructure they have established) and public transport.
drift to 转向
quirky adj. 古怪的;离奇的
But we can't always wait for government to deliver the infrastructure. We have to "have a go" ourselves at making small shops work.
Our vision for the new-style high street will be on show at the pop-up high street at our vintage festival at Boughton House, Northampton, this July. The vintage high street is a place to promenade, shop, watch street artists, eat and drink and just sit and take in the magic of the high street, with the authenticity of a film set, in the middle of a wonderful landscape. But for our visions to become a reality in our towns and cities, we the consumers will have to frequent the galleries, cafes and new independent stores that rise out of the ashes of the tired old retail chains.
Question time:
1. According to the writer, to ensure the normal operation of the new-style high street, what is required?
2. What's Vancouver famous for?
3. As consumers, to embrace the new-style high street, what should we do?
1. Good town centre planning and the cornerstone of this.
2. It boasts a wonderful natural setting but it doesn't rely on its natural beauty for liveability.
3. We will have to frequent the galleries, cafes and new independent stores that rise out of the ashes of the tired old retail chains.

3 Days in Philadelphia
Guide to Philadelphia Outdoors
A weekend in Philadelphia with kids
pho is amazing, best hangover cure ever. The service is decent as well, There is sometimes a strange odor at this place, probably due to the grocery store, but its cheap and hit the spot
My daughter and I found Nam Son quite by accident while taking my granddaughter to dance school. The best Banh Mi sandwiches that we have ever had. Great selection of sandwiches made on fresh baguette bread. Well worth the visit.
The Pho here is excellent because the broth is so flavorful. We like all the Pho here, but their Rice Vermicelli House Special #73 is not as good as the House Special Rice Vermicelli at Nam Phuong.
This place used to be good but starting earlier this year, the food is meh... The cooks have moved on and the owners have not been able to maintain the authentic flavor...hence the food is hit or miss. So sad, farewell my Nam Son of old...
This restaurant and the adjacent market are a must-see and a fantastic foody stop. The Pho looked like the real thing (big plate of veggies and herbs to dress the soup). We opted for tofu spring rolls and a Vietnamese "hoagie" each of which were fantastic. The owners were lunching beside us and I am going back for their meal...
This is a great little place. Started off with Summer Rolls with shrimp and chicken. The peanut dipping sauce was yummy. The rolls were nice with super fresh leaves of basil and mint. Next was the papaya salad which was also, very tasty. One complaint: there was too much meat. I like my salads to be, well,....salady!
Next up were...
In the Philadelphia area Asian markets and restaurants often find homes in cinder block constructions that once served another purpose. The corner establishment at 16th and Washington is just such a place. A yellow awning with bright red letters announces a grocery store, Raymond's Music and Nam So'n. Don't be intimated by the locale. Park your car where you can...
My family is very demanding when it comes to eating out. Basically we want everything to taste authentic, and not compromised for the "average American" tourist tastebud. Nam Son delivers on the taste, price, and even hygiene. It is better than all the viet restaurants I have tried out in new York, new jersey, and pennsylvania. It is that good....
I adore Vietnamese food, and always thought Nam Phuong was the best there was in Philadelphia; until I ate here. This place was recommended to me by a Vietnamese woman I know, and it's incredible. The atmosphere is a bit rough, as it's in a industrial strip-mall type of structure on 16th and Washington, but it's all about the food....

DaVinci Gourmet is introducing a new label to its bottles of coffee syrups that are distributed across Australia to align with the labels currently used in the U.S. and elsewhere.
The previous coffee syrups labels featured the DaVinci insignia along with the company name across wrapping around the graphic. The former DaVinci Gourmet label also featured the flavour of the coffee syrups.
The new label that will soon be hitting the bottles of coffee syrups in Australia is a cleaner, more straightforward design. The DaVinci Gourmet coffee syrups labels will no longer bear the company's insignia.
Instead, the labels feature flavour of the coffee syrups and the company name, both in a bigger, sleeker fonts style from before.
A representative for DaVinci Gourmet said the change of labelling in Australia was a way to unify the labelling of DaVinci products around the world.

|Children's Metal Detector
Hello all, I recently had the opportunity to check out a New Kids Metal Detector called the Coin Finder by Detectorbits.
Normally any metal detector under £100 would normally be classed as a toy and this kids metal detector is only £69 so I honestly did not hold out much hope it would be any good.
I tried some in air tests at home and was pleasantly surprised so I decided to take it out to my test fields where I normally check higher end metal detectors.
Click here for the outcome - Children`s Metal Detector
If you looking for a decent young childs metal detector I can highly recommend this one.
Best of luck all

Take Box Canyon Rd to Painted Canyon Road. Painted Canyon Road is a dirt road, so exercise caution. The road dead ends at the Painted Canyon Trailhead parking lot.
Once on the trail, look out for markers and arrow rock piles pointing to the slot canyons and other trails. Some climbing is necessary to access the tight areas of the canyons, but it's not too difficult. The slots are fun as they lead upward to the top of the hills and offer stunning views of the Mecca Hills, the canyons below, and surrounding areas like the Salton Sea. And of course, be sure to take in the night sky. There are great photo opportunities throughout.

The love the art in "On the Bridge." The computer displays, and blueprints, and other machines are impressive.
Thanks! i like putting lots of details into my drawings.
The animation was really well done, although it doesn't look like you can draw hands very well (but I don't think anyone can draw hands)
The voices were great as well and I thought the music fitted this animation perfectly.
The story of the last twinkies on earth seemed original and I enjoyed it. It was really funny but the humour also felt like it needed something more, it just seemed like something was missing.
Overall it was a fantastic animation.
It's tricky getting them to look detailed enough while still having them fit in with the rest of the setting, I guess it's due in part to them being more organically shaped. Thanks for the review!
human voices on a clock animation!? that was good, way better than the quality of most clock crew stuff. the ending felt a little weak, that is my only complaint. animation quality was great, music choice was exceptional.
Thanks for the review! I like using real voices as they're give everyone more character.
I like your animations and storylines a lot. I like these detailed backgrounds in this and other animations you made. But the voices, though better than in some previous ones, still aren't there... I mean, the voices themselves are fine, but the volume differences and mic blowing sounds are annoying.
I've been working in audacity to equalize them better, hopefully they're be better in the future. Thanks for the review.
I liked it.

By John Higgins
Beacon Journal staff writer
A bank foundation will spend $168,000 to promote kindergarten readiness for low-income Summit County preschoolers through art, music and drama.
The PNC Foundation announced the grant Wednesday at the Akron Art Museum, which will receive $150,000 to bring the arts into preschool classrooms and preschoolers to the museum.
Included in that three-year grant is funding for the Tuesday Musical Association to stage four performances for preschoolers at the museum.
A separate $18,000 grant will go to the Illusion Factory, an Akron-based interactive children's theater, to bring a play and workshops that exercise children's imagination to preschool classrooms.
Those preschoolers are in Head Start, the federal early childhood development program for low-income families.
Akron Summit Community Action, the local Head Start operator, serves 1,600 families at 12 Head Start centers in Summit County.
Head Start takes children ages 3 to 5.
Akron Summit Community Action also provides Early Head Start, a program for expectant mothers and children up to age 3. The Early Head Start program is completing an expansion thanks to a $1 million federal stimulus grant that has boosted its enrollment from 40 to 116 children.
The Akron Art Museum will use its grant to revive its MiniMasters, a program for area preschoolers that had been shelved for several years because of a lack of funding.
''Our program starts with designing, by our staff, a preschool arts curriculum that fulfills the standards both of national Head Start programs and the state of Ohio,'' said Mitchell Kahan, the museum's director. ''Then we train preschool teachers with this curriculum, giving them the confidence and tools to use the visual arts in the classroom.
''Then we send museum staff into the classrooms for additional art activities, and finally we bring the children and their families here to the museum for art activities along with music and theater.''
The Tuesday Musical Association already has performed one of four concerts at the museum geared toward preschoolers, which will include the ballet Peter and the Wolf and the opera Green Eggs and Ham.
''We've never had such a succinct opportunity to work with preschool children,'' said Barbara Feld, the association's executive director. ''Wherever you find creativity, wherever you find beauty and art, it has to start at one moment. And we have an opportunity to enhance that moment.''
The Illusion Factory will treat preschoolers to interactive performances of The Hat, by Brian Way, which involves children in a story about a strange hat that can never be removed, only replaced by another hat.
''By engaging the children in a series of imaginative, creative drama exercises about the color of each hat, each one is able to be removed and the action of the play continues to its happy ending, but only through the help of the children,'' said Illusion Factory founder Barbara Ballance.
First-time collaboration
Malcolm Costa, executive director of Community Action, credited PNC Financial Services which funds the foundation for enabling this first-time collaboration between Akron's cultural institutions and Community Action in the interests of poor children.
PNC Financial Services Group Inc. of Pittsburgh acquired National City Corp. of Cleveland at the end of 2008. The grants in Akron are part of the foundation's Grow Up Great program, a 10-year, $100 million effort to improve early childhood education in the PNC coverage area from the East Coast to St. Louis and Chicago.
Since the acquisition of National City, PNC has established similar arts education programs in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Cincinnati and Dayton.
The Akron grant includes the distribution of 1,700 newly released bilingual math activity kits created by the Sesame Workshop that have a DVD with Sesame Street characters. The kits also are free at all PNC bank branches.
PNC pays its employees for up to 40 hours of volunteer work each year with approved programs.
Kevin Thompson, the Akron regional president for PNC, said the bank employs about 650 people locally, and like him, they're eager to volunteer in Head Start classrooms.
''The thing that I appreciate more than anything else more than the money is the commitment for the employees,'' Costa told Thompson after the news conference. ''That is the critical piece of this, not just money.''

I've been asked to create a bullet chart on a project. We've used Telerik controls so far, and would like to continue using it, but we can't seem to find a suitable gauge control. The Dundas package has one exactly like the one we require, but if possible we'd like to continue using Telerik. So does anyone now if it's possible to create a bullet chart using this package?

The 'deadly' typhoon Megi that was threatening to hit Guangzhou, the host city of next month's Asian Games, has changed its course and turned east, and the Chinese officials are heaving a sigh of relief.
Guangzhou, located on the banks of River Pearl, is hosting the 16th Asian Games from November 12 to November 27, and preparations are in full swing for the mega event.
Weather officials said Megi changed its course and has turned towards east, thus indicating it would spare the Games city.
The threat posed by Megi to Guangzhou city and the facilities of the upcoming Asian Games appeared to ease as it turned east on Thursday, Games officials said.
In view of the threat posed by the typhoon, all of 66 venues for the Asian Games have launched emergency plans, deploying 3,000 people for emergency needs, officials told Xinhua news agency.
Apart from typhoon Megi, huge tides were also expected to hit the mouth of the Pearl River in the city. "The mixture of the two powers will be considerably strong" to deal with, an official with the Ocean Bureau of Guangzhou said.
According to the latest weather forecast, the water level at the mouth of Pearl River will rise by about 50cm, exceeding the alert water level. "But we are well prepared for the worst, Asian Games will be held on time and in good quality," the official said.

The Dead Sea: Earth's nadir and saltiest sea
Q: What is the saltiest sea in the world?
A: The Dead Sea devoid of life, except for bacteria, and so salty it
quickly kills river fish swept by floodwaters into its brine is the saltiest
sea on Earth. This land-locked lake gets saltier with increasing depth. The
surface, fed by the River Jordan, is the least saline. Down to about 130 feet
(40 meters), the seawater comprises about 300 grams of salt per kilogram of
seawater. That's about ten times the salinity of the oceans. Below 300 feet,
though, the sea has 332 grams of salt per kilogram of seawater and is saturated.
Salt precipitates out and piles up on the bottom of the sea.
The lower waters are so dense with salt they remain permanently on the bottom.
The upper waters date from a few centuries after biblical times to the present.
The name, Dead Sea, goes back at least to the Hellenistic epoch (323 to 30 BC).
Sodom and Gomorrah (cities, according to the Old Testament, destroyed by fire
for their wicked ways) maybe lie under the southern part of the Dead Sea. The
Jewish sect that left the biblical manuscripts, known as the Dead Sea scrolls,
took shelter in caves northwest of the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea wins another superlative: not only the saltiest water but also
the lowest point on Earth. Its surface is about 1300 feet (400 meters) below
sea level; the lake reaches a depth of 1300 feet below its surface.

When she returns, to a roar of approval from the audience, she wears a spectacular dress of red roses, with fluffy hair, doll-like make-up and tottering high heels. Many actresses would be upstaged by the costume. But with a growling, simpering, tittering excess, McEwan finds a Knightsbridge ghastliness to match. When fretting how best to look when Sir Rowland arrives - "nothing is more alluring than a levee from a couch in some confusion" - McEwan spins out into the realms of pure comic vanity. We don't care what she does, we just don't want her to stop.
To get to these sunny moments, in Lloyd's entertaining, if uneven, production, you have to cut through the dense thickets of Congreve's plot. Someone here is half-brother to a sister of someone else's wife's mother. Lloyd increases our disorientation by giving Congreve's London a swanky contemporary setting. The second act, traditionally set outside in St James's Park, takes place in a fashionable art gallery with a backdrop of Rothko-esque paintings.
How much we like the characters largely depends on how well they handle Congreve's dialogue, which is why the production moves in and out of focus. As Millamant, the close-cropped Fiona Shaw strides round the gallery in flowing black trousers, speaking with a verve and a warmth that suggests she was born in the 1670s. As Mirabell, Roger Allam is more careful, but no less clear, parcelling out his witticisms with precise hand gestures. The emotional highpoint is when these two meet in the attic, and Shaw lists her conditions of marriage. She squirms with horror over the names she refuses to be called - "joy, jewel, love, sweetheart". Considering the complicated nonsense we have to follow - even before we get to the sublimely daffy McEwan - this adult candour is a welcome antidote.
In the opening of A Patriot For Me, James Wilby comes on to an empty stage, lights a cigarette and stands there smoking. After a while a second officer enters. Wilby offers him a cigarette. He accepts. Wilby lights it. They smoke. Time passes.
The RSC's new production of A Patriot For Me begins at seven and doesn't finish till after 11. Officers, Hofburg guests, flunkeys, privates: each public scene in this large-scale revival has its orchestrated crowd; scene changes become choreographed interludes; a 90-page script becomes a four-hour production.
John Osborne's ground-breaking play about a gay officer in the Austro- Hungarian army mixes themes of Empire, class and sexuality, but in Peter Gill's scrupulous, stately production, the gay one prevails. What was oblique in 1965 is plain in 1995. It's no big deal today to see naked male lovers on stage, but this openness weakens the plot, which depends on concealment. Act I builds to an ending that shocked the Lord Chamberlain into insisting that Osborne "Omit the whole scene". Here, by the time (Redl) Wilby gets into bed with a soldier, you feel as if the postman has finally delivered a letter you were promised weeks ago.
With Redl, it isn't his sexuality which isolates him. It's his humble origins. But the other officers are closer to uniformed students than members of an arrogant elite. The contrast isn't there. Glance at the original cast list and you see what's missing. In 1965 an officer like Von Taussig was played by Edward Fox.
Gill stages the scenes beautifully: the terse opening duel, the restaurant, with the private cubicle downstage and the other officers dining upstage, the tacky splendour of the transvestite ball, with Dennis Quilley as the plumed Baron von Epp, pouting, winking and - on the first night - ad-libbing: "Her earring's fallen off, you've excited her so." But Osborne spreads his play over 23 scenes, two decades and five cities. It needs someone to draw it together, not to unpack it any further.
There's something naturally soft-focus about Wilby. We're not convinced he's taken the tough path from son of a clerical officer to colonel on General Staff. The big speeches elude him too. What is apparent - from this production and the National's revival of Inadmissable Evidence with Trevor Eve - is that Osborne requires leading actors who let fly with a rage and acuity that is positively scary. He'll take no hostages. Revivals must first ask if they have someone of that quality.
In Ibsen's play The Master Builder, which is steeped in the playwright's personal concerns, a young woman, Hilde, arrives at the home of a successful architect and inspires him to fatal new heights. It's a horrible part to play. You are clearly representative of something else. A spirit, a life-force. Then you have to act as interlocutor to a colossally self- absorbed playwright, sorry, architect.
Remarkable then, that the outstanding aspect of Peter Hall's new production is Victoria Hamilton's performance as Hilde. It's her first West End role. She strides through the front door, wearing walking boots and carrying a rucksack, with a suddenness and immediacy that is quite unselfconscious. The opposite, in fact, to Alan Bates as the architect, who is thoroughly modern. He gives an immensely attractive, fidgety performance - flicking his curly hair, drumming his fingers, tugging at his ear lobe - but his manner is histrionic, his voice constantly aware of contradictions and ironies. The difference in performance is reflected in the production, which hovers between the realistic and the metaphysical without plumping for either.
The Orange Tree at Richmond continues to dig up neglected plays with an enjoyable revival of The Maitlands by Ronald Mackenzie. Sam Walters' cast does a highly effective job in evoking the impoverished genteel atmosphere of a seaside town: a world of tea-cups, private pupils and dusty armchairs. Mackenzie packs The Maitlands with humour, character and incident, and had he not been killed in a car-crash (aged 29), his plays might have become the definitive theatrical account of life between the wars.

Continuing the drive against property tax defaulters, the civic body issued 19 attachment notices in 'S' ward (Bhandup) to Reliance Infratel and Reliance Infocom for not paying the property tax of sites on which they have set up microwave antenna (mobile towers) on residential societies.
The company has to pay Rs 40.64 lakh property tax.
Till date, the BMC has sent over 1,200 such attachment notices to defaulters.
"The space rented out by the societies for these towers are high and the property tax of these towers is calculated on the rent it can fetch," said a senior civic official.
In these 19 cases, the rent that the telecom company is paying the societies is between Rs1.25 and Rs3 lakh a year.
"As we are closing the balance sheets for this fiscal year, we have began the process of sending attachment notices to the defaulters to meet the estimate targets," said Joint Municipal Commissioner, SS Shinde.
Shinde added that the BMC had given enough time to Reliance Infratel and Infocom for paying the dues but they have not responded so far.
The spokesperson for Reliance Infratel and Infocom said they would only be able to respond to the query by Wednesday.
There are a total of 28 such sites for the same telecom company in Bhandup alone who have defaulted on payment and of them 19 sites have not paid for the last 18 months.
"From today, the company cannot use the property till they pay the money," said another officer.

Understanding the difference: Linux rolling releases versus point releasesSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Wednesday 3rd of August 2016 07:50:06 PM Filed under
That's it for now. As I said the last time I wrote about KaOS, if you are looking for a smaller Linux distribution, and KDE Plasma is your desktop of choice, and you don't mind using QupZilla instead of Firefox or Chrome (or you don't mind installing your browser of choice from the KaOS repositories), and you don't mind using Calligra instead of LibreOffice (or you don't mind installing LibreOffice), then KaOS is definitely worth a try. It's a good distribution and it just keeps getting better and better. The KaOS developers have shown an admirable ability to maintain their focus on what they originally said they wanted to do.
Homegrown Budgie Desktop Shows Off the Beauty - and Beastliness - of Solus SimplicitySubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 29th of July 2016 05:16:02 PM Filed under
The Budgie desktop -- and thus Solus itself -- lacks the glitz and glitter found in more seasoned desktop environments. Animation is nonexistent. It also lacks any right-click menu finesse other than the ability to change background or settings.
The Solus Project's distro is very user-friendly, but experienced Linux users will need more optimized software and desktop functionality in the next release to be tempted to give up more advanced desktop flavors.

Cyanogen OS vs Android: what's the difference?Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Wednesday 27th of July 2016 07:46:50 PM Filed under
It may have started as Google's obligatory answer to the iPhone, but Android has grown into a much-beloved operating system that's currently used by over 107 million people in the U.S. alone and almost one-and-a-half billion worldwide. Much of what makes Android special also distinguishes it from competitors: its power, versatility, and customizability.
But this isn't a love ode to Google's popular software. Instead, we're going to discuss some of the key differences between Google's Android and Cyanogen OS, a modified, third-party version of Android that brings added features and gives users additional control over their devices. So let's jump right in.

people stop asking how are you
You stand there out of breath

from the rock that is Sunday
a leap that is equivalent
to translating Beowulf into Western Yiddish
while climbing Everest
on a moonless night
when all you know of Western Yiddish
is gonif and putz and maybe matzoh
when you should have worn something better than sneakers
when the crank to the crank flashlight

I always wonder, but I don't always ask. My uncle died very recently and his wife is overwhelmed with paperwork and stuff to deal with. We went to lunch and she said that she was getting tired of everyone asking how she was doing. She didn't even KNOW how she was doing, with so much going on and having to go back to work. When people ask, she has to come up with an answer and that gets irritating after a while. I don't ask. If she wants to say something, fine. I don't always ask, but I do always wonder.

Figures show that in 16 per cent of motoring deaths in Britain, traces of illegal drugs were found. In 75 per cent of those deaths, cannabis was found in the person's bloodstream.
But most people driving under the influence of illegal and legal drugs do not know they are breaking the law, the experts say today in a discussion paper, which goes on to point out that it costs police pounds 350 to do the necessary tests to prosecute a driver believed to be under the influence of drugs.
The panel wants the departments of health and transport and the Home Office to re- examine their policies on accidents where people are found to have been influenced by drugs.

Last night's Strictly Come Dancing semi-final saw Patrick Robinson and his partner, Anya Garnis, eliminated from the competition, making the final a female-only contest for the first time.
Sophie Ellis Bextor, Abbey Clancy and Susanna Reid all made it through, while Natalie Gumede survived a dance-off with Robinson.
Last night's semi-final saw each couple perform two dance routines, a ballroom and a Latin dance. The judges' scores were combined with the results of the viewers' votes to decide the lowest-scoring two couples facing the dance-off.
Robinson and his partner, Garnis, faced the dance-off for the third time, while Gumede and Artem Chigvintsev were in the bottom two for the first time in the series.
After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts with Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Toniolo all choosing to save Gumede and her partner. Head judge Len Goodman said he agreed with his fellow judges and would also have saved the couple.
Looking back at his time on the show, Casualty star Robinson said: "I've had an incredible journey, an incredible time, what an experience.
"Anya Garnis is just an incredible dancer, an incredible choreographer.
"My highlight really may be a surprise, but being in the training room was the place I had the most fun and the most hard work, so being here was just the icing on the cake."
Garnis had nothing but praise for her celebrity dance partner.
"You surprised me, you delivered week after week, but more than anything you inspired me so much," she told him.
"I couldn't have done it without you. I think from my heart that you are a true artist. Thank you for your hard work."
His exit leaves Bextor, Clancy, Reid and Gumede to compete in the first ever all-female Strictly final next weekend.
The couples' magical performances were complemented by a real magician, Dynamo, who featured on the show.
"I am blown away by the amount of hard work all the guys are putting in, they are all brilliant. Perhaps one day I'll get my dancing shoes on again," Dynamo said.
The magician then quipped: "Without wanting to spoil it this is the semi-final week and I already know who is going to win Strictly this year - I think it will surprise you all."
Grammy Award-winning artist Celine Dion also performed her single Breakaway.
Robinson said he did not think the best dancer would necessarily go on to win the competition.
"On the dancing, so far as I can see, Natalie is by far the most gifted dancer among us all," he said.
"[But] the public has the vote, so it's whoever they like.
"They may not want certain people and they may want others. Depending on their dancing capabilities, that's pretty much going to be secondary.
"So I would say it's the public who vote for the winner and whoever's the most popular will win."
But popularity aside, Robinson said it still took a lot of work to reach the stage he did and that he had been putting in 11-hour days between shooting Casualty and dance rehearsals for three months.
"I'll get some time to sleep," he laughed. "Because that was the one thing that was happening - I was dreaming steps and not sleeping if you know what I mean.
"To have a little bit more time to get back to my normal routine is great."
The 50-year-old said his semi-finals appearance was testament to his ability to match the fitness of competitors half his age.
"Fitness-wise I think I dealt with it as well as they did," he said.
"I'm very pleased to have made it to the semi-final and I don't think I could have got there without hard work."

I fell in love with the whimsical design of these papers, the bold colors and what I call, "middle of the road" papers. Not too feminine or juvenile and not too serious. It's very versatile and my most favorite of all, a matching acrylic stamp set!! Dive in and have some fun!
I love this tool! It's sturdy, very portable, fits my hand well and easy to use. Other items for distressing have proved to be cumbersome to use but this one is easy and light.
If you're into the distressed look this is the tool for you, lots of options.
