In line with recent guidance from Scottish Swimming, we expect that no galas licensed by the East District and planned to take place before 31 August 2020 now take place. We have previously contacted all clubs to ask them to let us know what they wish to do about a refund for any licence fee paid. Where a refund was requested , we will act upon that, but are assuming now that those who have not been in touch are happy to have the fee carried over as a credit against some future licence request. Those club events coloured in green are looking for a replacement date later in the year.

Three hundred words on #1 Chicken? Subtitled "14 Songs, 23 Minutes," there ain't even 300 words on Red Aunts' first Epitaph release, but no matter. Named for a hometown Long Beach restaurant, Chicken is a greasy screechfest -- part catty, part country, part Courtney. Think Silverfish on speed, the Supersuckerettes, or a sexy X: "Detroit Valentine" rhymes "head" with "dead" and "gun" with "run"; "Peppermint Patty" (evidently dedicated to Patty Hearst) surfs along blissfully; reeling off pot synonyms seems the sole purpose of "Mota."
It's not until "Willabell," a four-chord, one-minute cyclone in which EZ Wider screams, "Hop in the back seat, baby/ And hold on tight/ I'm gonna floor it sweet thing/ And fly you like a kite," that a glimmer of the Aunts' best attribute -- stand-out performances, say, the one that won S.F.'s heart like a cheap carnival toy last year -- shines through. See, Angel, EZ, Cougar, and Sapphire know that if you're an honest punk band, it doesn't matter how fat your wallet is, whose label graces your record, or whether you sit down or stand up to pee. What does matter is that you toss an extra verse into "Teach Me to Kill" so Angel can peel off her Telecaster and leap into the pit, slam with men twice her weight, and climb back onstage to light the cigarette still perched behind her ear. That shit makes me wet!
In an era when punk is traded like a commodity and female artists like P J Harvey vamp for MTV's Vaseline-smeared cameras, Red Aunts march in, raid your fridge, vaporize your damage deposit, and leave you for dead in a heap on the floor, eardrums hissing and a smile on your face. How'm I doin' wordwise? 298? Not bad.

The Grifters
The Eureka E.P.
So Happy Together, the Grifters' 1992 debut, was easily as frustrating as it was fulfilling. Even as the Memphis quartet's cathartic pop din promised to blow an invigorating gust of fresh air across the indie landscape, their obstinately lo-fi production values (the album was recorded in the flower shop where drummer Stan Gallimore and singer/guitarist Dave Shouse worked at the time) mired the material in a rancorous muck that often bordered on unlistenable. Moreover, the band seemed to revel in a willful ineptitude and laissez-faire songsmithery that rendered the whole venture a crapshoot. Too often the music was like spotting a shiny nickel through a sewer grate: enticing, but you had to wade through an awful lot of shit to get to it.
Three years and as many albums later, the Grifters have ditched the gambling and forsaken the flower shop without losing any of the awkward adolescent charm that made the aforementioned transgressions tolerable. Eureka is every bit the breakthrough that its title suggests. Slackeresque ennui still drips from the lips of Shouse and co-vocalist/guitarist Scott Taylor, but its instrumental manifestation is more finessed. "Eureka I.V.," with its willowy organ and pedal steel, recalls American Music Club's muted, downbeat ruminations, while "Founder's Day Parade" shimmers delicately with a carefully balanced filigree of chiming guitars. Precision is the order of the day, and it informs even the blasts of static that still occasionally blow: The galloping, enigmatic "Whatever Happened to Felix Cole" is an infectious chunk of pseudo-anthemic bombast, but it's all the more effective for the subtext of restraint the band now applies.
"I would give you anything to be holy/ I would give you anything to be smooth," growls the chorus to the pendulous, pensive "Slow Day for the Cleaner." Eureka finds the Grifters halfway there on both counts, in a refined state of grace with a patina of polish.

Herbie Hancock
Dis Is da Drum
With the 1983 release of "Rockit," Herbie Hancock, a pioneer of jazz fusion, dared to do what no "purist" would even consider: merge jazz riffs with hip-hop breakbeats. His creative interplay between synthesizer and turntable on that seminal track is still respected more than a decade later. On Dis Is da Drum, a new release two years in the making, Hancock appeals once again to the primal urge for beats and rhythm. West African percussions, prominent throughout, are allowed to stand on their own, giving pieces like "JuJu" a heavy tribal feel.
Although Hancock has been revered for his jazz genius for more than 30 years, he proclaims that Drum is not a jazz album but a "dance album with jazz elements." To some degree, that's true; many of the songs inspire movement of the rug-cutting nature, but it seems impossible for Hancock to repress his immanent jazz tendencies. One listen to "Call It 95" says it all, in the flirtatious repartee between Hancock's piano and Frank Thibeaux's bass line, in the sense of Miles Davis' soul working its way through Wallace Rooney's trumpet. It's doubtful that club DJs will drop this track between "This Is How We Do It" and "Tootsee Roll."
Longtime fans will appreciate the revision of the '70s classic "Butterfly," which starts off just as rich and ominous as the original, flowing like liquid gold until Hancock kicks some hip-hop flava toward the middle of the song. The transition to urban feel is smooth, before finishing full circle with Herbert Law's airy flute fluttering in the background. The hip-hop influence is strongest on "The Melody," which features a DJ and a rapper. With the exception of Quincy Jones, no other artist has successfully married hip hop and jazz; Hancock did it first, and continues to do it best.
-- Gwendlynn Meno
Long Division
(Vernon Yard/Virgin)
It's probably safe to venture a few guesses about the collective nature of this Duluth trio. For one thing, founding members Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker and new bassist Zak Sally are likely baseball fans, and they don't mind interminable time lapses between pitches. They're at ease sitting around silently in each other's company, maybe doing crossword puzzles. Someone owns a hammock. One or more suffer from migraines.
If the pleasure of a lot of rock is its adrenalized confrontations with our thresholds of pain, Low's superdeliberate tempos are an inversion of that principle -- they're excruciating in their very motionlessness. Though the band has been likened to Galaxie 500 (fellow clients of slapdash producer Kramer), Low's crawling approach makes Dean Wareham's feathery first group sound like a hard-charging Brahma bull. Long Division has roots in Dos, Mike Watt's collaboration with Kira, in the Twin Peaks scores, and in Manhattan art-plodders Codeine. But Low's music is less plaintive than Dos, less cabaret than Julee Cruise, and less psychotic than Codeine (though they do offer creepy lines like, "She's a sinker/ I should have taught her how to swim").
In fact, Low are less everything than just about everybody: This is archminimalism. The band credits its home base near the Great Lakes with inspiring the music's cold, gray backdrop. In Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise, an immigrant girl takes two New Yorkers to visit the shores of Lake Erie. Though a thick snow cloud has obliterated the view, one of the guys murmurs numbly, "It's beautiful."

The Soul of Black Peru
(Luaka Bop)
Behind the joyful sounds of Afro-Peruvian music is a long trail of tears. West African slaves were brought to Peru, as they were to other South American countries, but in Peru the Spanish implemented divide-and-conquer tactics, avoiding the importation of large numbers from any one ethnic group in fear that a common language could foster resistance to bondage as it did in Cuba. Instead, the slave population was made up of smaller groups from diverse backgrounds. The ancestors of these people were slowly integrated into their new country, but memories of Africa dominate their music-making to this day. Black Peruvians combined Spanish, African, and indigenous elements and invented unique percussion instruments, including the cajon, a wooden box held between the legs, and the quijada de burro, a burro's jawbone with loosened teeth that sounds like a tenor guiro.
A well-kept "secret" for centuries, Afro-Peruvian music has finally made it to the clubs of Lima, and now The Soul of Black Peru, a compilation culled by David Byrne and Yale Evelev, should awaken interest in the Northern Hemisphere. "Maria Lando," the kickoff track, has the potential to become an international classic. Its minor-key melody, driven by a tinkling flamenco-ish guitar line, gentle percussion, and the plaintive singing of Susana Baca, generates a beautifully melancholy mood that's both as alien and familiar as a suddenly remembered dream.
Afro-Peruvian rhythms resemble the Andean music most Anglos are familiar with, but the African elements predominate to give things a unique twist. Besides "Maria Lando," which is reprised by Byrne near the close of the disc, the album overflows with impressive music-making. "Yo No Soy Jaqui," an energetic lando with a message of racial pride by Manuel Donayre, sounds like a cha-cha; Cecilia Barraza mixes familiar Peruvian mountain rhythms into "Canterurias" and comes up with something like an African waltz; Peru Negro, the group credited with revitalizing Afro-Peruvian music in the '50s, brings a fierce rhythmic drive to "Son de Los Diablos" and "Lando." Both haunting and danceable, this is the music of an indomitable spirit.

Touching farewell to loved Norwich nightclub owner at funeral in Cyprus
PUBLISHED: 15:18 20 September 2018 | UPDATED: 15:18 20 September 2018
Hundreds of mourners paid a final tribute to Norwich nightclub owner Ibish Peri at his funeral in northern Cyprus.
Mr Peri, 35, was found dead earlier this month at his home above Bished nightclub on Prince of Wales Road in the city.
His body was then taken to Lapta, the village in northern Cyprus where Mr Peri's father, Steve, grew up.
The funeral service took place on Thursday at the Haydar Pashazade Mehmet Bey Mosque and was attended by friends and family from the area, along with loved ones from Norwich, Chelmsford, London and Birmingham.
An Imam said prayers, after which Mr Peri's body was driven in a Cypriot hearse to the local cemetery, where he was laid to rest.
The family said they were pleased to have so much support from local mourners, as well from people who had travelled from the UK.

Mr Peri was buried next to his grandfather, who vanished on Christmas morning 54 years ago during conflict between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
It was only two years ago, after a Greek Cypriot made a deathbed confession and shared what had happened, that the family were able to recover his body and have him buried in the cemetery.
Tributes to Ibish have been pouring in since his death on September 11, with his mother Dawn describing him as the "prince of Prince of Wales Road", and bouquets of flowers piling up outside Bished last week, as well as cards containing touching messages and balloons.

Speaking at a candlelit vigil in his memory in Norwich, she said: "I don't want anyone to go through what my son went through. He kept it silent and hid it so well through his smiles and partying. That is how you guys do it. "But please come from behind that smile and show us how you are feeling. If you have a male friend, pick up that phone and ask them how they are.
"Make sure they are okay, make sure they talk and please don't let anyone else go through what we are going through tonight."
Mr Peri owned the venue chain Code Red Promotions, which runs Mercy, Flaunt, Lace and Bished, formerly Rocco's.

He also has a secondary ethnographic focus on Scandinavia, notably Norwegian culture. Beginning in the early 1980s, he was involved for two decades on anthropological issues related to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. As a medical anthropologist, he published extensively on human sexual behavior and AIDS prevention, especially with respect to gay communities. Much of this work was carried out in Belgium and resulted in approximately 20 publications, some co-authored with students. As an offshoot of his interest in gay male sexuality, gay cultures and global gay rights issues, he has investigated the life of Witter Bynner, a gay poet who was a major figure in Santa Fe, New Mexico, society and intellectual circles in the early 20th century. Bolton also has a longstanding interest in seeking ways to improve the lives of poor farmers in the Andes, particularly the village of Chijnaya, Peru, where he worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in the 1960s. He revisited Chijnaya in 2004 and a year later created The Chijnaya Foundation, which works with rural communities on the Peruvian Altiplano to design and build self-sustaining projects in health, education and economic development. With the Foundation's volunteer board, he has raised more than one million dollars to support projects in 16 communities and engaged more than 100 students in volunteer activities there. Areas of Expertise ANTHROPOLOGY Medical Anthropology Human Sexuality Gay Culture Homosexuality Cultural Anthropology Biology and Behavior AIDS HIV Prevention PERU Chijnaya, Peru Research Interests Bolton's wide area of research interest in human sexuality and medical anthropology has led to a long list of achievements in many different areas, from Peru and the Andes to AIDS education and prevention in the United States and Europe.

> Conducting Clearly and Expressively
Conducting Clearly and Expressively
Kevin McChesney
DYNAMICS - The most obvious musical direction you can give with your conducting besides the beat and tempo is dynamics. The principle is very simple - bigger movements mean louder, smaller movements mean softer.
Directing dynamics has two considerations:
1) Conducting with enthusiasm (or nervousness, as the case may be) is not the same as conducting dynamics! As you get more excited or anxious, your movements tend to get bigger. Stay in the character of the piece. Excitement can still be communicated at a soft dynamic level using small but clear movements.
2) Your job as director is to REMIND the ringers what to do. That means you have to anticipate. If the music is to get suddenly loud on beat 1 of measure 42, you need to give a strong indication with a larger upbeat on the last beat of measure 41. Your movements in directing are always a step ahead to indicate what is coming.
CUES - Cues for entrances (whether for one ringer or a whole group of ringers) should be carefully practiced. The left hand may be used to indicate an entrance. A cue needs to be given by facing the ring or ringers who are to enter as far as is practical, and making a preparatory motion the beat before the entrance. Clearly, it's too late to bring ringers in on the beat they are to enter. Give a strong, confident motion (though not necessarily a large one) the beat before the entrance; if your motions are confident and solid, the entrance will be, too.
A trick for cues that works quite well is to actually take a breath as you cue. It's like taking a breath before singing a phrase. Clearly, the ringer does not need to have this breath the same way a singer does, but if YOU, the director, take a breath as if YOU were going to sing the phrase, it brings the ringer in on time and with more confidence. Try it - it does work!
CUT-OFFS - A cut-off does not need to have a fancy or intricate movement. The simplest way is the best - hold still, then give two short motions, one up, one down, returning to where you started. Prepare, cut. At most, you might add a simple closing of the fingers with either hand, but there is no need for an e-shaped motion, or any more elaborate movement.
CHARACTER - Your motions remind the ringers of the character of the piece. If you are using broad, flowing motions, so will they. If you are using sharper, march-like motions, so will they. Remember to make your beats bounce on that imaginary table, regardless of the character of the piece!
ANTICIPATE - The second most important function of the conductor, after indicating clear beats in a clear tempo, is to REMIND ringers of what is coming. The director ANTICIPATES the musical elements to come, and makes indications BEFORE the ringers play. Examples:
A larger beat just before a change from piano to forte.
A smoother beat just before the change to a more flowing section.
A stronger beat just before a ritard. (This indicates "watch me - it's going to change!")
A clear beat and a breath before an entrance.
Lifting the left hand before a cut-off.
The indicators can take on many forms. The important thing is to anticipate and indicate things before they happen.
This leads to the next important subject:
PRACTICE - You as director have some homework to do. Clear directing is a PRACTICED skill. Go over your music ahead of time, listening to the music in your head or as someone plays it for you on a keyboard, or listening to a recording of the piece. Physically conduct the piece as you do this - just listening does not constitute practice! Be sure you can anticipate all cues, dynamics, fermatas, cut-offs, changes in tempo, changes in meter, etc.
THE MIRROR is the best tool to use to develop your conducting skills. It may seem intimidating at first, but the mirror gives strong, accurate, and indispensable information as to what information you are communicating to your ringers.
As you direct in front of a mirror, ask yourself if you could follow what you see. What would you change? Is the downbeat standing out from the rest? Do the beats clearly bounce in a clean pattern? Is your hand flipping or bouncing? Are yourmovements too big to be clear, too small? Are you indicating loud, soft, slower, more flowing? Are you mirroring with your left hand too much? When you do use your left hand, is it giving clear and important information?
SUMMARY - Clear beats with a clear "bounce" give ringers all the information they need for tempo and counting. (Note that this information is NOT on the printed page, though many ringers are convinced it is. The ringers' job is to continually develop their skill in watching the director; the director's job is to continually strive to give as much helpful musical information as possible.) Use carefully practiced movements to indicate dynamics, cues, cut-offs, etc. And above all, anticipate these elements.
Which brings us to one final important function of the director:
INSPIRATION - When you direct with confidence, your ringers ring with confidence. And your movements become clearer and more expressive. Those who are newer to conducting find it hard to direct with strong, clear movements, particularly if they are "flipping" their beats. The best thing you can do for you and your choir is to DIRECT WITH CONFIDENCE ANYWAY! If you make your motions strong and the way you present yourself is kept in character with the music, you cannot help but inspire a more musical and rewarding performance.

You've taken your time and learnt a skill. Great!
But the sad reality of the situation is that unless you keep practicing, you're going to get rusty. Just like a car shouldn't go without use for long periods of time, so should your skills. Depending on the thing you're doing this can take anywhere from a couple of weeks to over a year. Sure, you won't ever completely forget your skill (hard work never dies) but you'll notice it isn't working out as smoothly as it used to once you pick it up again.
If you're busy collecting skill-points like a squirrel is collecting nuts then it's probably going to get pretty hard to get just a tiny bit of practice in for each thing you're learning. Don't worry though, it's not the end of the world. Just make sure do a little warming up before you need a skill again. No use going to apply for a job, and during the interview having to say "yeah hang on, I can normally do this faster but just give me half an hour for now".

Time to assess the progress
our CastAway Rescues have made!
1. Kelly - This nice fellow has gone to his new home in New Mexico and prospers there with his new human mom and canine sister.
2. Charlie - Our Wild and Crazy guy is calming nicely. Still the most enthusiastic and adventuresome, this guy will need an owner who has had experience with a busy, strong-minded corgi. Make no mistake, Charlie is a real sweetheart, but is like a teen needing "tough love" at this stage in his development.
3. Nolan - Proving to be the shyest or the four, Nolan continues to make great progress in his socialization efforts. And there is a Big Surprise in Nolan's future! Stay tuned to learn more about it in the next few days!
4. Wilson - Our handsome little tri-colored boy has also proven to be a bit on the shy side. Getting used to all of the new people, places and things in the world outside of a puppy mill environment is more of a challenge for him. He will take a little longer than Charlie or Kelly to acclimate to the Big World. Wilson will need a home with someone who has had a history of working with a shy dog. He's a very sweet fellow and is slowly blossoming in his foster home.
Below: Wilson gets a chance to explore the gorgeous acreage of his foster home (with his German Shepherd companion for moral support). These photos were taken early in October.
What's this? A bucket...what does it do?
Heading out for a big adventure!
Hmmm...sure smells good here!

In the analysis of shells, two types of geometric nonlinearities, namely large deformation and large rotation nonlinearities, may arise. Large deformation nonlinearity is attributed to the membrane stress developed due to the midplane stretching when the shell experience large displacements as compared to its dimensions. Large rotation nonlinearity is caused by large change of element slope during the analysis. This change causes the transformation matrix to change during the analysis. It also causes the relationship between the displacement field and the nodal rotation to be trigonometric, Figure (2.5).
The objective of the analysis is to evaluate the equilibrium positions of the shell, at the discrete time points or load levels , , , , ..., t, . It is assumed that the solution for the kinematic and static variables for all time steps from time zero (initial configuration) to time t, inclusive, have been obtained, and that the solution for time is required next. Two approaches may be used to handle geometric nonlinearities: Updated Lagrangian description and Total Lagrangian description. The Updated Lagrangian description uses the last known deformed shell geometry at time t as a reference configuration for all variables, whereas the total Lagrangian description uses as a reference configuration the initial undeformed shell geometry. The first approach is general and suitable for both nonlinearities while the second approach in this section is developed only to handle large deformation effects.

Prince Rupert pedestrian killed after getting out to clear debris
Man got out of his vehicle 'to remove fresh debris that was scattered on the roadway'
A 70-year-old pedestrian in Prince Rupert, B.C., was struck and killed after getting out of his vehicle to remove what police call "fresh debris that was scattered on the roadway" during a heavy downpour after dark on Friday.
The man got out of his vehicle along 9th Avenue to pick up garbage and was hit by another vehicle making a left-hand turn on McBride Street around 5:15 p.m. PT.
The man who was struck was transported to hospital in critical condition and later airlifted to Vancouver Hospital, where he died.
"Visibility was extremely poor at the time of the incident, due to darkness and torrential downpour", said Const. Will Gilbert.
Police are seeking witnesses and are stressing that drivers "use caution at night when driving or walking, as visibility is reduced and can be compromised with oncoming lights from traffic."
Anybody with information is asked to call Prince Rupert RCMP at 250-627-0700.
- The original version of this story incorrectly stated the date of the accident. In fact, it occurred on Friday.Nov 20, 2017 10:38 AM PT

Ant And Dec's Age And Their Timeline
Image Source/Cosmopolitan
So, what is Ant and Dec's age and what makes them much-loved by their fans and audience?
They are both 44 years old!
It is indeed an amazing feat to have achieved what they have done within such a short time.
They first met with each other in 1989 when they acted on BBC's children's drama, Byker Grove.
Ant and Dec credits Byker Grove as the platform that propelled them to stardom!
Ant said:
"If it wasn't for Byker Grove we wouldn't be where we are today."

According to Dec:
"We kind of owe everything to Byker Grove. It's where we learnt to do what we do."
After the stint, they ventured into pop music as PJ & Duncan (that's who they were in Byker Grove).
Their first single was Tonight I'm Free and the duo hit some sweet success in their pop career!
After that, they made their lasting impressions as presenting duo. Some of their TV presenting adventures, back in the days were:
- SMTV Live
- Friends Like These
- Pop Idol
- PokerFace
- Push the Button
- Red or Black?
- Text Santa
- Brit Awards in 2001, 2015 and 2016
What Are They Presenting Now?
First meeting for Saturday Night Takeaway 2020…exciting times! If you want to be part of it details⬇. Come on, you know you want to! 🤩@ITV @WeAreSTV @itvtakeaway pic.twitter.com/3kovpUZTAM
— antanddec (@antanddec) September 12, 2019
Right now, they are rocking presenting Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, and Britain's Got Talent.
They are also television producers and they have their own production company named Mitre Television.
A Fun Fact: A BBC poll in 2004 named them as the 18th most influential people in the British culture!
The success of the show Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway which ran for 15 series till 2018 gave them all the boost they needed to land more prominent projects in the industry.
A Fun Fact: The TV show Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway is all set to make a comeback in 2020!
Their Rightfully Deserving OBE Moment
To honour their achievements and services to the world of broadcasting and entertainment, Ant and Dec were awarded the OBE by Prince Charles in 2017.
Image Source/The Telegraph
Considering this is a top-notch achievement from Buckingham Palace, Ant and Dec must have done something right to land the OBE.
According to Dec,
"You don't expect things like this to happen to lads like us from the west end of Newcastle so it's a huge honour.
"We're humbled and honoured and ecstatic about the whole thing. We hope it can inspire young people from backgrounds like ours that things like this do happen to us sometimes.
"Put your head down and work hard and you can achieve what you want. You can end up in Buckingham Palace."
Inspiring? You bet!
But things were not that great for both Ant and Dec after that…
The Dark Days For Ant And Dec
Image Source/The Mirror
Ant McPartlin was arrested in March 2018 for drink-driving and crashing into two other vehicles. He was fined £86,000 and was banned from driving for 20 months.
"I just want to say I'm truly sorry for what happened.
"High standards are expected of me, I expect them of myself. I've let myself down, I let a lot of people down. And for that, I am truly sorry.
"I'd like to apologise to everybody involved in the crash and I'm just thankful no-one was seriously hurt."
Apart from causing trouble for a lot of people, his actions also altered Dec's presenting.
Ant had to take a step back from Saturday Night Takeaway leaving Dec to run his own show.
Meanwhile, Holly Willoughby took over his part on I'm A Celebrity.

Quite remarkably, Simon Cowell stood by Ant throughout the ordeal and was ready to welcome him back to host Britain's Got Talent.
"We've known each other a long time, and you stand by the people you work with over the years, for the obvious reasons.
"We always stand by our friends. We're all human.
"The most important thing is he's manned up, he's going to get himself back together. And the show goes on, it's as simple as that."
"People, for whatever reason, they get into a rut and at times like this you stand by your mates. It's always been that way."
Good friends and second chances!
The Duo Are World Record Holders!

Any guesses to who were awarded Guinness World Record in January 2019?
Ant and Dec were awarded the Guinness World Record for 'The most National Television Awards won consecutively for Best Presenter'.
Some of the National Television Awards they won are Most Popular TV Presenter and The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award in 2019, Most Popular TV Presenter and The Bruce Forsyth Entertainment Award in 2018, as well as Most Popular Entertainment Programme and Most Popular TV Presenter in 2017. The list goes on and on but you get the drill!
Ant and Dec are amazingly talented and incredibly creative duo!
Their Top Three Crazy Shenanigans That Only They Can Pull Off!
The crazy duo are known to pull pranks at celebrities. While all of them are very entertaining and crazy, here are three 'just way too crazy' pranks they successfully pulled!
Source/Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway
- They pranked James Corden three times in a single morning!
First, they refused him entry into the Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway studios. Next, they parked another car in his parking lot.
The final straw was when a trained stuntman acted as if he was badly injured on the show.

- Ant and Dec joined forces with Simon Cowell to prank Piers Morgan!
Piers was so worried when he broke a piece of expensive artwork which was claimed to be Simon's and what's more, Simon went just too well with the storyline!
Source/Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway
- They auditioned for American Idol to fool Simon Cowell!
The duo used fake facial hair and hid behind sunglasses to be unidentifiable. They performed Paula Abdul's Opposites Attract but unfortunately, Simon could see who they were and failed the prank!
Their Lives Outside 'Ant And Dec'…
Despite it looking like they are always together, Ant and Dec do have their own personal lives.
Image Source/Closer Magazine
Dec's wife is Ant and Dec's manager Ali Astall.
However, for over a decade the couple remained professional and didn't venture into a romantic relationship. Things changed in 2014 when they started dating.
Dec married Ali in less than a year and in 2018 they welcomed their baby girl, Isla.
On the other hand, Ant recently split with his ex-wife Lisa Armstrong who he was married to for 11 years.
Apparently, Ant cheated on her with his current girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett.
But, according to Ant, she helped him get his life back!
"Anne-Marie honestly is the fundamental reason for the great change in my life. She's been my rock.
"She's a beautiful soul. We're very happy. I'm in the best place I've been in my life, to be honest with you. It's great."

Maruti Suzuki Baleno RS facelift price revealed
- The performance-focused Baleno RS facelift is priced at Rs 8.76 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). While the car's official launch is yet to happen, Maruti Suzuki has decided to reveal the facelift's new look and price beforehand.
- Like the standard Baleno facelift, the updated RS gets a new grille, however, the front bumper on the latter – with its accentuated fog lamp surrounds and extensive honeycomb treatment – is a lot different than the former's.
- Maruti hasn't released the updated model's side and rear profile images. However, we expect those to remain unchanged, with the exception of new alloy wheels.
- Mechanically, the 2019 Baleno RS facelift will continue with the 1.0-litre BoosterJet turbo petrol engine which generates 100 bhp and comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
- Also expect additional equipment introduced on the standard Baleno facelift like the new Smartplay Infotainment system, LED projector headlamps with DRLs, etc. to be standard on the updated RS.

At the large international MBZIRC robot competition, DTU received a silver and bronze medal respectively in two of the competition's challenges.
At MBZIRC, Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotic Challenge, a major international robotics competition held in Abu Dhabi in February, DTU has achieved two very good results. The other competition participants come from some of the world's other leading universities in robotics technology, including the German Universität Bonn, Swiss ETH Zurich, and KAIST from South Korea.
"I am very satisfied with our efforts, which document that we are on the forefront of robotics at DTU," says professor Ole Ravn, DTU Electrical Engineering, who has led the team of eight students and five researchers. DTU is the only Danish university that has participated in the competition.
Tasks reflect future use of robots
The competition consisted of a total of three different challenges reflecting the tasks that we would like to see robots and drones perform in the future.
"It were some very complex tasks that the organizers had set which required good preparation and fine-tuning during the competition," says Ole Ravn.
All three challenges involved participants using a self-driving robot and four drones which had to work together to solve the tasks on their own. In one challenge, they had to put out the fire in a high-rise building model. This was done by first locating the places in the building that was on fire and then dousing the flames with water. The robots entered the building by either driving through the door or flying in through the windows. All without any human operation.
DTU has boosted the robotics and automation field
DTU participated in the MBZIRC competition for the first time in 2017. The University received a silver medal in one of the competition challenges in that year.
Since then, the University has been focusing intensively on the whole robotics and automation field. Among other initiatives, a new Master's degree programme in autonomous systems has been established at DTU. In addition, the University is currently constructing a test arena for use for practical tests with drones and robots, in the air, on the ground, and in water. The test arena will become part of DTU's new Centre for Collaborative Autonomous Systems, and is a unique facility for both students and researchers unrivalled by other universities in Europe.
The overall winner of the MBZIRC robotic competition was the combined team from Czech Technical University in Prague, University of Pennsylvania and New York University. See all winners at: Mbzirc.com

The David Ortiz incident is the latest in a series of incidents tarnishing the image of the Dominican Republic. But are we overlooking all the good the island has to offer?
When news broke on Sunday that former Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz had been shot in the Dominican Republic (DR), the entire baseball world held their breath in fear of losing one of the sports most beloved figures. For the DR, the incident could not have come at a worse time.
In the past year, SIX U.S. tourists deaths have been reported in neighboring resorts, leaving people questioning their safety in DR. However, what people don't understand is that TWO of the deaths have been at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Punta Cana, while FOUR took place at Bahia Principe hotels.
What's more, according to a story in the New York Post, "nearly 70 tourists have [also] reported getting violently ill while vacationing in the Dominican Republic". More than half of these reports, per Rolling Stone, "came from tourists who stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Punta Cana."
As a result, Americans, in particular, are choosing to stay away from the island in fear of becoming the next mysterious death, completely ignoring the fact there are thousands of resorts on the island with squeaky clean records.
[sc name="Audible"]
These reports have led to a firestorm of negative press toward the Dominican Republic, which could ultimately hurt the country's economy. Tourism, according to a recent story by Rachelle Keiger of the Washington Post, accounts "directly and indirectly" for approximately 22% of DR's economy.
Then, as if things couldn't get worse, David Ortiz, one of the Dominican Republic's most revered figures is involved in an assassination attempt while at a nightclub in the country's Capital, Santo Domingo. With this news, video surfaces of the alleged shooter being beaten nearly to death on the streets of Santo Domingo. Additionally, reports indicate that the assassination of Ortiz was ordered by a drug lord who suspected Ortiz was having an affair with his girlfriend.
These incidents, while disturbing, completely ignore the fact that crime has been dropping in DR over the last few years. Homicides, in particular, are down approximately 17% since just 2016 according to the Overseas Security Advisory Council.
All of this lends credence to the negative stereotypes Dominicans have been subject to for far too long. That the men are alcoholics and violent and the women are cueros and golddiggers. There are, in fact, men and women that fit this description on the island, but it is by no means a unique feature of Dominicans. By pigeonholing Dominicans in this manner, we completely ignore the fact that most Dominicanos are hardworking, humble people trying to make a better life for themselves and their families.
People like my parents who left the Dominican Republic in the 1970s to provide my sisters and me with a better life. Despite leaving, my parents always made sure to return to DR with us in order to instill in us a love for the island that stays with us to this day. There, I have witnessed instances of love, hard work, and compassion and they far outweigh the instances of malice.

Middle Stone Farm
UK England South West England Somerset Taunton
Middle Stone Farm in Somerset is open all year round offering a choice of quirky and very comfortable accommodation. In its own private corner of the farm, a wooden cabin called The Deckhouse can be booked on its own or, if you're quick, together with the rest of the site to accommodate larger groups. The whitewashed cabin works well for both couples and families, with a king-sized bed and mini bunk room (suitable for two young children), while a large, open plan living space has a slightly retro feel. It makes a beautiful contrast with the modern shower room and smart new wood-burner that gives added warmth to the airy interior. Plus, of course there's another wood-fired hot tub just outside, complete with a barbecue area, log store and views across the farmland.
The Stable Cottage is a more conventional option, also sleeping up to four people. This is furnished with a mix of traditional and contemporary furniture – comfy sofas, colourful rugs and pictures, along with a slate floor and beams in the open-plan living room. It too has a wood-burning stove, modern kitchen, and uncluttered bedrooms with brass bedsteads and colourful quilts. Outside on the private terrace is a raised patio with private hot tub, barbecue and views around the farm. The cottage is dog friendly at certain times of the year.
Their six safari lodges are open from Spring to November. It's fitting that Middle Stone Farm decided to name the three lodges in their first field after birds of prey – Buzzard, Hawk and Kestrel. The second field of lodges opened in 2018 and are named Badger, Fox and Stag. Firmly at the upper end of the luxury scale, the safari tents feature everything you could possibly need beneath the forest green wingspan of their canvas roofs, including some added luxuries, like wood fired hot tubs outside, perfect for star spotting at night. At the heart of each tent is the wood-burning stove – a source of heat but also great for cooking on – and there's even a small fridge beneath the aptly named 'cupboard bed': a two-person cubbyhole in the wall that children particularly adore. Each tent has an en-suite shower room at the far end, while, out front, the large sun deck reveals far-reaching views towards the Somerset hills. Three of the lodges are also dog friendly at certain times of the year.
Evening campfires remind guests that, despite all the luxuries, this is still very much a camping holiday. The farm shop is open from Spring to November and sells local produce, including artisan beers, interesting breads, fine wines and home-cooked dishes. The emphasis is on low food miles but all the essentials are stocked too. Wood-fired pizzas are available in to groups too. For a proper pint, though, it's a fair trek along the Somerset footpaths (three-and-a-half miles) to the nearest local watering hole. But then, the real gift of this glampsite is its off-the-beaten track location. Hop in to the car to get to the West Somerset beaches, drive the 20 minutes to the Quantock Hills, explore the nearby market town of Taunton or cycle into the fringes of Exmoor National Park three miles away. Off the track it may be, but you needn't drive far for heaps of options.

I have a sweet tooth, but rather than reaching for chocolate , I get my sugar fix through fruit.
Eating fruit alone for me is bland, so throwing it into a smoothie is ideal for me as it hits my taste buds and helps when I'm short on time.
The added protein in this smoothie also helps supplement my protein intake for the day.
Throw this simple 5 part smoothie together for that Fruit & Nut taste
The Set up
Grab a smoothie/blender container and throw the following into it:
|Peanut Butter
|Tea Spoon
|Whey Protein
|Almond Milk
|Half Pint
Blend until smooth adjusting the amount of Almond milk to your tasting ie. more for a thinner smoothie, less for thicker.
Where & When
Id usually throw this smoothie together on the weekend, sitting at home with the feet up. Theres not much in terms of different ingredients, so Id always have the fridge/cupboard stocked up with the necessary fruit and almond milk.
As usual, any questions just @Back to Nutrition Archive

I have to confess, until recently, I had never heard of the concept of "December Daily".
A few questions and a google search tells me the idea is to capture a daily photo during the busy month of December, perhaps to scrap that photo along with others taken that day, capturing traditions, activities and life in preparation for the holidays, however you might celebrate them.
So I decided to take a look around the gallery to see who is doing "December Daily" and what they are doing with it. And oh yes, always up for a challenge, I decided to give it a go myself.
I am just in love with the December Daily's done by member Tanderson. I like her standard page format, how she gets lots of pictures onto the page, and always includes a story of what is going on that day, usually a story times 3 as she relates the experiences of each of her children. Oh and that glitter alpha (from Anna Aspnes)…to die for!
A slightly different approach from svandergaegen, with a single picture each day and a bit of captioning, but enough of a glimpse into what is going on. Oh and, now I am hungry!
Just to prove that December Daily is not limited to the cold winter of the northern hemisphere, here is a warm and sunny daily page from Janey1949. How cute is that little boy, and love the triple photo layout.
Designer Jen Maddocks is not only doing December Daily, she has provided a set of templates for the month! And they are awesome! I was hard-pressed to pick a favorite, but I love this layout for the little glimpses of life plus a special day for a certain young lady.
It doesn't need to be elaborate…just a picture, a thought, a little journaling will be enough to jog the future memories. That's the approach being taken by Cheery-O Madi using the Documenting December journaling cards by Maya de Groot.
Another busy designer doing December Daily via the Holiday Template Pack is Anna Aspnes, with this page that just makes me smile. This is the kind of page that will be read over and over and will bring back a very specific memory. Also makes me wish I had an Elf on the Shelf.
I can't make up my mind between full pages and simple journal cards, so I am trying both. But please don't hold me to 62 pages in December!!
This first is using Jen Maddocks 12 Days of Christmas Templates.
And this next is using Maya de Groot's Documenting December Cards.
Here are some additional products for documenting December.
From Pink Poppy Press and Anita Designs, a set of daily templates.
From Sue Cummings, more templates. Templates are the best way to get December documented quickly and easily.
From Kitty Designs, a template to document the tale of every day of December.
What about you? Are you documenting December? The month is yet young! Whether you do one or 31 pages, here is wishing you all the very best of the holiday season. Be sure to take some time to scrap!
3 Comments. Leave new
This is great. I didn't know anything about it either.
Love all the inspiration here Diane! So much fun to keep up for a month, esp. December.
great examples- it must be the new rage -documenting December. Lots of lovely templates to choose from . I have to laugh about your wordplay on the I'll be gnome for Christmas

A longtime fixture of the local media scene and a philanthropist committed to the idea of "localism" are teaming up to transform a Kingston radio station into a commercial-free source of "hyper local" news and culture.
Last week, the Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley announced that it had purchased radio station WKNY 1490 AM from Townsquare Media. The purchase was funded by the NoVo Foundation, a New York City-based philanthropic institution founded by Peter and Jennifer Buffett, son and daughter-in-law of multi-billionaire Warren Buffett. The foundation had begun making inroads in the Hudson Valley in recent years, most notably with its purchase of the former Gill Farm in Hurley for use as a farm hub and training ground for first-generation agriculturists.
For his initial foray into Hudson Valley media, Peter Buffett has tapped Jimmy Buff, veteran DJ and radio executive who recently stepped down as program director at Woodstock independent radio station WDST-FM. Currently, WKNY features a mix of local and syndicated programming. Buff said in an interview this week that the plan calls for a gradual phase-out of the syndicated material until eventually the station is run on 100 percent local programming.
Buffett said the NoVo support will allow the station to offer a hyper-local "conversation" about all things Kingston, while making room for voices that might go unheard on at a traditional ratings-driven radio station. The ad free model will mark a departure for WKNY which has been a for-profit commercial enterprise since its founding in 1939. The acquisition also marks a rare transfer of a radio station from a nationwide corporation (In the Hudson Valley, Townsquare owns nine Hudson Valley radio stations including classic rock powerhouse WPDH and pop country station 94.3 The Wolf) to a local enterprise.
"We wanted, in the beginning, to be free and clear of any market driven conditions," said Buffett. "It may be mildly utopian, but we do want everyone engaged."
Radio Kingston is still awaiting FCC approval for the purchase, something Buff said should be forthcoming in about six weeks. Meanwhile, the new station owners are planning to hold a series of public forums next month where area residents will have a chance to talk about what they would like to see from the new station and pitch their own ideas for content. Buff said he envisions an eclectic mix of music, news, culture and storytelling, all created by locals for locals.
"Kingston has a phenomenal community of people doing amazing things and we want to support that," said Buffett.
Plans for the station also include a technology upgrade, like portable units that will allow for live broadcasts from local events and a beefed-up staff, including an office manager and a news director. The new station has also partnered with local tech and marketing company Evolving Media to develop a platform for online content, live streaming over the Internet and archived shows.
Buff said he would likely do a music program on the station. Other new content will be phased in based on community input and available talent. And, while the NoVo Foundation's mission includes addressing social justice and inequality issues, Buff said there were no plans to turn the station into a left-wing political platform, similar to the right-wing talk format that dominate syndicated broadcasting.
"People think that because of who we are, we're going to get rid of all of the conservative programming," said Buff. "But what we want is good quality programming that represents every aspect of Kingston."

Turbo Cricket Team Building in Brighton
Turbo cricket team building in Brighton is the ultimate experience that gets the team together outdoors and having fun. Based on the classic English sport, we've added a few modern twists to intensify this cricket activity even more. Putting everyone through their paces whilst enjoying themselves, Turbo cricket is faster paced and offers a great way to start a little friendly competition. Anyone of any age can take part and despite being a physically demanding activity, is fair for everyone's abilities. An umpire watches over the event to make sure everything is running smoothly and your team is enjoying themselves the way they should.
What's Included
- Fast paced Cricket game
- All the cricket equipment, including bats, balls, stumps
- Event co-ordinator / referee
- Venue hire included
- Turbo Ten10 scorecard
Playing 6 aside on a reduced size pitch, Turbo cricket is full of unique differences to the original game. The cricket ball is soft so no protective gear is needed so you can feel more freely and more comfortable. The biggest twist with this sporty experience is that the batsman is allowed to have an unlimited amount of turns and all of the players have to bowl, making it easier for those who were never that good at cricket. Oh, we almost forgot to mention, we've also increased the worth of 6 runs to 10! Your group will be put into teams of 6 but if your team is over this amount, no worries! Everyone will be involved by rotating between roles fairly.
