An 18 acre nature preserve, free and open to the public
The DeGraaf Nature Center is an 18 acre nature preserve that is free and open to the public. The property is owned by the City of Holland in Ottawa County. The site features several habitats including meadow, upland forest, lowland forest, marsh and pond. Other features include a geology trail installed by the Tulip City Gem and Mineral Club, picnic pavilion with tables near the trailhead, and a log cabin used for education programs. Trails consist of gravel and boardwalk and are approximately 3/4 mile in total. Many of the trails on the property are wheelchair, stroller, and wagon-friendly.
Our staff offer a variety of programs to schools and the community that help foster the concepts of wildlife management, conservation, outdoor education and preservation. The Helen O Brower Visitors Center provides many opportunities to experience wildlife. Visitors can view live animals including reptiles, amphibians, and owls in addition to taxidermy exhibits. Highlights for many visitors include viewing the live animals in the visitors center, watching birds at the feeders, or sitting quietly by the stream watching for wildlife. During the winter season business hours, snowshoes are available for rent at the Visitors Center when there is at least four inches of snow on the ground.
Called the "Cammenga Property" in the 1960's, the DeGraaf Nature Center was founded in 1965 by the Holland Garden Club with financial assistance from the City of Holland and local donors. The site was rich with numerous habitats despite it's small size. The center was the dream of Holland Garden Club member Helen Brower who had a vision to create a place where children and adults could learn about the environment. In time, the site came under the management of the Holland Parks Department.
The Helen O. Brower Visitor Center as it is known today was advocated for by its namesake in the 1970's after the property went dormant and largely unused for nearly a decade. With a matching grant from the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund in 1979, the City of Holland, local service clubs and the Holland Community Foundation raised funds to break ground on a new building in 1981. The building, finished in 1982, was a hexagonal, solar-heated Porter building. Renovations and additions were made over the next several decades with the most recent renovations completed in 2018 including expanded parking, new entry, picnic pavilion, and improved insulation in the nature center building.
The DeGraaf Nature Center was named after the Holland Parks Superintendent during the first 20+ years of it's existence, Jacob DeGraaf. Jake worked with the Holland Garden Club and Helen Brower during the 1980's when the site had a rebirth of use and investment by the community. He was part of the advisory group that asked the garden club in 1983 to train volunteers who could conduct nature-based programs on the site. The programs were well received and by 1984 Jake and the Parks Department hired Shirley Dykema as the nature center's first coordinator of programs.
Though the property is owned by the City of Holland and is managed by the Parks and Recreation Department, day-to-day operation of the Helen O Brower Visitors Center and all education opportunities offered through it were assumed by the ODC Network in partnership in 2018.

BBC 'tried to block Ofcom Munchetty inquiry'
by Josh Hall
The BBC attempted to block an investigation by Ofcom into comments made by presenter Naga Munchetty, according to The Guardian.
Last month the broadcaster upheld a complaint against the presenter, following comments that she made on air regarding Donald Trump.
Ofcom launched its investigation after it received a number of complaints regarding the BBC's decision, which had been met with widespread public outcry. It found that Munchetty's comments did not break impartiality guidelines.
But, as The Guardian reports, the regulator also criticised the BBC's own internal practices and its refusal to make additional evidence available to the external inquiry.
Ofcom has now published its correspondence with the BBC, in which the Corporation's editorial standards head David Jordan argued that there was "no proper basis for Ofcom's proposed action."
Director general Tony Hall last week reversed the BBC's decision in the face of public concern and anger amongst BBC staff. Jordan said that, as a result, he was "disappointed, therefore, that Ofcom is assessing a broadcast with a view potentially to undertaking an investigation for which it has no clear jurisdiction, rather than handling complaints it has received about the programme in the normal way."

On Friday I drove down to Poole, to swim in the sea with the lovely ladies – and two gentlemen – from Beyond the Blue. The weather came out to play, too. Used to the silty Bristol channel, the greeny-see-through waves were a delight. Late November, and we splashed about in the waves like it was high summer. Except, of course, for the quantity of woolly hats and scarves that appeared afterwards… but then again, this is England: woolly hats are hardly ever out of fashion.

Q: Implement filtering like excel (performance wise) in large datagridview datasource This question comes as a separate question from Suggestions for more efficient filtering on large datagridview datasources. So right now my filtering is slow on large datasources (220k rows). The way I filter is by binding source:
mBindingSource.Filter = Filter;

This is slow because it possibly goes through all the rows of the datatable.
When I try to filter the same size of data in Excel, the filtering is many times faster. I would like to know whether someone knows, or can point me to the right direction as to how Excel implements its filtering. Maybe a snippet of code could also help.

A: Once you have a dataGridView full of rows it is very fast to filter.  Your problem is probably that you are reloading the dataGridView before you are applying the filter.
I did a test with a database with +800K rows and it filters in less than a second (Maybe Excel will take longer).
This is how I tested:
Take the table from the Data Sources window and drag it and drop it on your Form.  In my case I'm taking a table called Products.

That creates a dataGridView on your Form named productsDataGridView so the CS code was like this:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    BindingSource bs = (BindingSource)productsDataGridView.DataSource;

    bs.Filter = string.Format("SerialNumber Like  '%{0}%'", textBox1.Text);

    productsDataGridView.DataSource = bs;
}

In my case, every time I press the button1 the productsDataGridView that has more than 820,000 rows was filtered in less than a second.
I hope this helps you debug your code.

I couldn't wait any longer to post some pics of this beauty! I'm waiting on a pickguard and still have to put the original bridge back in.
Also waiting to find out if the slab board is Jacaranda, it's supposed to be.
Dude that is quite simply stunning! Personally I think (just going by internet info) that momose are pretty much a cut above nearly everything. That looks like an entire strip of rose wood binding the fret ends! Crazy.
The ash looks amazing and the finish is sooo classy.
As for the headstock I really don't care anymore. (even though my Seymour Duncans have them) In my opinion these japanese guitars out do nearly everything fender has to offer. I like the fact that the headstocks are different because I DON'T WANT a fender. And the momose headstock is totally classy.
Seriously I don't think you'll find a strat any better than that anywhere.
That's exactly what it looks like - strips of rosewood used for neck binding. Could be a problem for re-fretting in the future, maybe have to send it back to Japan for the job because nobody's up to it outside Japan (Lol)?
I agree about the headstock shapes; I'm just happy now that I've found some quality Japanese guitars with their own unique differences. I would buy a Fender Custom Shop, no probs, but I can't afford it. Besides I don't have to afford it with other options available like this Momose.
Thanks for the kind words, and I suspect this one is pretty good - plays really well. I'm looking to customise it with a black pickguard, but I may have to get it custom made if Deviser don't answer my emails.
You'll remember we were discussing the mystery DS-200/250 with changed pickguard, and while I was messing around with questions on that, this came up so I threw on a bid and ended up winning it. From that you will know what I paid for it (I got very lucky). If I had missed out on this MC-2 I would have bought the DS.
Awesome! I love those Momose strats, even with the wacky headstock.
Glad to see you finally got your strat, even if it isn't a Duncan.
I'd suggest tortoishell for the pickguard, that would look cool. But yeah, you'll probably need a custom made guard as it's slightly different in shape to a Fender.
Lovely guitar. As you say the fingerboard should be jacaranda on an MC2-STD/NJ. Is there some reason you think it isn't?
My MC could be from 2007/06 I don't know yet. Also, I'm can't recognise jacaranda just from looking at it, what's it supposed to look like?
I'm can't recognise jacaranda just from looking at it, what's it supposed to look like?
The jac board on yours has nicer figuring than mine (if it is jac), I'll withhold judgement until I've oiled and polished it because it seems a bit dusty and dry at the moment. Is it ok to use normal fret board oil on it?
nice Momose there; the ash with rosewood should be a great sounding lumber combination.
It's sounding good so far, but I've got to use it in a few other situations to get a proper handle on how it sounds.
I will weigh it at some point - seems pretty light, maybe in the low 3 kg range, or about 7 lbs.
Yeah, as I said, I would have bought that Duncan, but I got no answers at all about anything from the guy, and just when I was about to gamble on it, the Momose popped up.
I'll definitely look at the tortoise guard, good suggestion! Hopefully my local guy has a couple of Fender guards in stock and I can just sort of lay them on top to have a look.
Here's a link to a nice pic of an MC-1 Std NJ (alder body) and an MC-2 STD DX NJ with a jacaranda fingerboard.
I'm sure you know, but just in case, the NJ stands for New Jacaranda. So unless that's a clever description of something else it's jacaranda.
The seller advertised mine as MC-2 STD/NJ (Nat), so it should be jacaranda, but it wouldn't be the first time someone has looked up the current specs and used them to describe a guitar that's a few years old which may have had different specs.
On the plus side, your last link that shows a guitar identical to my one, reveals that my serial is only 12 numbers earlier than the one in the link. If that one is jacaranda then mine probably is too. I'm not really going to mind which wood is used, as it's still a really nice Strat either way!
..................but I'm not 100% sure what is says - perhaps Joe can confirm?


Earlier this week I took a look at some of the battles set to be decided at this weekend's all-important Gdynia Open event, which is now underway with its amateur rounds having started yesterday.
Tomorrow though sees the entrance of the professionals and with tour cards, Grand Finals spots and Grand Prix places up for grabs, click below for my rolling blog which will be updated throughout the next three days, flagging up the matches and results to keep an eye on and setting out those currently in position to retain a tour card through this list.
In addition to these players, there are others who are currently just inside the top 64 on the two-year ranking list, who will have an eye on this tournament as a safety net, in the event that they slip out of the top 64 between now and the end of the season.
These include (with their European Order of Merit totals): Nigel Bond (2,749), Tom Ford (583), Jamie Cope (4,332), Alfie Burden (1,166), Li Hang (583), Cao Yupeng (583) and Peter Lines (2,000).
9:51 – Good morning everyone for the final day of the Gdynia Open, as we will learn the identities of the 32 players who will contest the Players Championship Grand Finals, as well as the new World Grand Prix next month.
10:13 – Shaun Murphy is the first winner of the day, but the first significant result in terms of the various ranking lists is a 4-0 win for Robert Milkins against Dominic Dale, which means that Dominic now cannot improve upon his position of effectively being 23rd of the 24 potential qualifiers for the Grand Finals from the European Tour list.
Whilst being potentially bad news for Dominic, this will come as something of a relief to the likes of Chris Wakelin and Mark King above him, who now look to be increasingly certain of their own positions.
For Milkins of course, good news in his own battle to reclaim a top 16 seeding ahead of the World Championship, as he continues to slowly reel in Stephen Maguire, who lost to Ross Muir in the opening round here.
10:31 – Following Dominic out of the tournament is recent Welsh Open winner John Higgins, who has lost 4-2 to Judd Trump on the televised table this morning. The means that John must now hope that neither David Gilbert, Liam Highfield or Stuart Carrington makes the semi-finals.
10:54 – Finishing with a century break, Mark Williams is through to the last eight with a 4-2 win against Liam Highfield, who cannot now qualify for the Players Championship Grand Finals.
11:07 – A good 4-2 win for Jimmy Robertson against Martin Gould this morning keeps his hopes alive of claiming a place at the new World Grand Prix., with a run to the final needed if he is to steal the place from Michael Holt at the last.
11:26 – Victory for Joe Perry against David Gilbert means that another chaser drops out of the running for both the Grand Finals and Grand Prix spots, with Gilbert now unable to break into the qualification places.
11:56 – And with defeat for Stuart Carrington against Luca Brecel, the race for Grand Finals places looks to be all over, with John Higgins holding on to the final place through the European Order of Merit that he took last night with his win against Mark Joyce.
The last remaining theme to keep an eye on then is whether Jimmy Robertson can overhaul Michael Holt in the race for a place at the World Grand Prix, with a run to the final from him needed to do so. Luca Brecel will be his quarter-final opponent.
16:07 – Michael Holt can breathe easily now, thanks to his mate Mark Williams who has defeated Jimmy Robertson 4-0 to make it through to the final in Gdynia. The result means that Robertson just falls short in his bid to make it to Llandudno, finishing 34th on that list.
0:04 – Good morning all and yes you have read that right, I have posted the first entry of today's live blog at just gone midnight as whilst taking a look at tomorrow's schedule to see who is playing in the morning, I have noticed that defending champion Shaun Murphy has an opening round bye against Welsh youngster Jak Jones.
This is of course significant because as you will note from the list above, Jak was the closest chaser to James Cahill for the final main tour spot as it stands and therefore his withdrawal for whatever reason is another significant boost to James, who following defeats for Alex Davies and Elliot Slessor yesterday, continues to hold onto eighth place on that list.
10:25 – With the weekend action now well underway, already there are a few notable scorelines with defeats for Andrew Pagett and Allan Taylor meaning that they now cannot add to their tallies in the race to stay on tour. Also in action now is amateur Paul Davison, who along with Adam Duffy must win two matches today in order to come into contention to earn a two-year tour card.
It has been a good start to the morning for Duffy in fact as he has taken the opening frame of his match against Neil Robertson, the Australian apparently having arrived late for the match.
It is an important match for Robertson too, as he currently stands to take only the 23rd of the 24 places on offer for the Grand Finals this weekend. Of those who might catch him and currently 24th placed man Michael Wasley, Jamie Jones, Joe Swail, Dechawat Poomjaeng and Dominic Dale are all in action today.
12:10 – From 3-0 down against Dominic Dale, Paul Davison has fought back to force a deciding frame and at the time of writing, keep his hopes of earning a return to the main tour from this Order of Merit alive.
12:46 – It was a strong comeback, but Paul Davison cannot win the decider against Dominic Dale, meaning that he will have to look for an alternative route back onto the main tour for next season if he is to make it.
12:54 – Which is won by Robertson on the blue, the Australian giving his hopes of a place in the Players Championship Grand Finals a boost, moving up above Fergal O'Brien amongst others.
For Duffy though, it means that he will not gain a main tour place through this list and James Cahill can rest a little easier. He is not guaranteed to remain on your yet, but it is another good result for the man who defeated Ding Junhui at the UK Championship earlier in the season.
13:38 – Another man through to the last 64 is Chris Wakelin, who not only is the highest player of those looking to earn a tour card via this route, but is also well in contention to earn a place at the Players Championship Grand Finals next month.
14:48 – Updates are a little slower today relative to yesterday so far with fewer matches having an impact upon the various battles, but that will change this afternoon with lots of results potentially able to affect the Grand Finals race.
One of them is a 4-1 win for Jamie Jones this afternoon against Ian Burns, which means that he now needs to defeat Mike Dunn to put himself above Michael Wasley as it stands and move up into position to take a spot in the Players Championship Grand Finals in Thailand.
15:48 – It always looked like an outside chance as required a quarter-final to earn a tour card, but Gareth Allen has fallen at the last 64 stage, losing out 4-0 to the experienced Scot Alan McManus this afternoon.
That means that to all intents and purposes, the battle for tour places has been largely settled in Gdynia, with James Cahill hanging on in eight place as it stands.
There can of course still be changes between now and the end of the season, but it will depend upon just who is able to finish up inside the top 64 on the main two-year ranking list after the World Championship.
15:56 – Through to the last 32 is Welshman Dominic Dale, who like Michael Wasley now requires just one win to move above Michael Wasley in the European Order of Merit and potentially into play for a place at the Grand Finals. Michael White or Craig Steadman will be next up for him.
16:20 – Graeme Dott defeats Mark King 4-1 to progress to the last 32, meaning that while King currently sits well placed on the European Order of Merit to qualify for the Grand Finals, he cannot now add further to his tally this weekend.
16:57 – Another player consolidating his position inside the Grand Finals places however is Marco Fu, who has edged out Chris Melling in a deciding frame to reach the last 32.
17:33 – Following his dramas this morning, Neil Robertson has now enjoyed a more routine victory against Anthony Hamilton in his second match to in all likelihood make sure of his place at the Players Championship Grand Finals now. Unusually, he won the first frame by 152-0, a total clearance of 137 following 15 penalty points to get him off the mark in style.
18:43 – Oliver Lines has come back from 3-1 down this evening to defeat Dechawat Poomjaeng in a deciding frame and move into the last 32. Unfortunately for Dechawat, this means that he will not qualify for the Grand Finals, which of course will be played in his home country, Thailand.
19:15 – But no longer, as Dominic Dale defeats Michael White 4-1 to progress to tomorrow's last 16 stages and in the process, move above Michael Wasley and Fergal O'Brien in the European Order of Merit.
21:36 – And with a break of 83 in the deciding frame, Higgins does defeat Mark Joyce to potentially sneak into the Players Championship Grand Finals, edging out Fergal O'Brien.
So with just one match to conclude this evening between Matt Selt and Oliver Lines, what is still to be decided tomorrow?
This battle is all done in Gdynia as far as the race for tour spots is concerned, with James Cahill hanging on to the eighth spot as it stands.
Again, there may yet be changes in the main two-year list between now and the season, but nobody remaining in the tournament can now change the running order as it stands.
A point of clarification too as a lot of people have asked why I haven't included Sean O'Sullivan above. This is because he qualifies via the Asian Order of Merit, having already finished high enough up on that list, due to that series having finished first chronologically.
Following his victory against Mark Joyce this evening, John Higgins holds the 24th and final spot available from the European Order of Merit, level on points with Dominic Dale who stands above him on count back.
So who can still get in on the act?
David Gilbert is the closest, but must win at least two matches and make it to the semi-finals in Gdynia. The same applies for Liam Highfield and Stuart Carrington. Most vulnerable aside from Dale and Higgins are perhaps Mark King and Marco Fu, who are already out of the tournament, but it would require a number of results to go against them for them to miss out.
Following Fergal O'Brien's defeat yesterday, Michael Holt remains in the final qualifying spot for the World Grand Prix and will remain there, unless either David Gilbert or Jimmy Robertson can reach the final.
Both in the same half of the draw, only one of them can do so, while the likes of Liam Highfield, Stuart Carrington and Oliver Lines are too far back now to threaten Holt.
9:30 – Good morning all as the opening session of the professional stages of the 2015 Gdynia Open is now well underway. Judging by players tweets on Twitter, it sounds like a number of players are experiencing problems getting to the venue due to fog, although all scheduled matches seem to have started so far.
In respect of the battles mentioned above, there are already a couple of significant points to note, with James Cahill now 3-0 down to Tom Ford in his opening round match. If Tom can win one of the remaining four frames, then Cahill will find himself vulnerable in terms of retaining a top eight place in the list above.
Elsewhere, Lee Page leads Mark Williams 2-1 as he bids to keep alive his slim hopes of retaining his tour place through this list, while for Williams a win could also be important as he looks to secure a place at the Players Championship Grand Finals, currently sitting in 22nd place on the latest Order of Merit.
9:44 – Despite having experienced a difficult season up to this point, Tom Ford has now completed a 4-0 win against James Cahill to land a significant blow to Cahill's hopes of retaining a tour place for next season.
Cahill will now be looking at the results of Elliot Slessor and Stuart Carrington immediately behind him, who both play against amateurs later on today and hoping that one of those amateurs can cause an upset.
10:08 – David Gilbert is now underway against Jason Tart, Gilbert one of the players who needs a run to the final in Poland if he is to claim a place at the new World Grand Prix next month. The player in with the best chance of gatecrashing the current top 32 on that list is Fergal O'Brien, who plays Lyu Chenwei later this morning.
10:23 – The man currently in possession of the final spot at the World Grand Prix is in fact Rod Lawler, who currently finds himself level at 2-2 with Ali Carter. Defeat for Rod would mean that O'Brien could pass him with two wins in Gdynia today.
10:49 – Mark Williams defeats Lee Page 4-2, thus ending the outside chance of Page retaining his tour status through the European list. For Mark though, victory moves him up from 22nd to 18th place on the list, boosting his hopes of a place at the Grand Finals in Thailand, as well as at the Crucible from the main ranking list of course.
11:13 – A 4-2 win for Rod Lawler against Ali Carter could be a decisive boost for Rod in his chase for one of the 32 spots at the World Grand Prix.
Having come into this event occupying 32nd spot on that list, Rod now moves up above both Luca Brecel and Michael Holt, while 33rd placed Fergal O'Brien would not have to win three matches to overtake the man from Liverpool.
11:26 – Marcus Campbell is another man through to the last 64 with a 4-2 win against Welsh Open quarter-final Gary Wilson this morning. For Marcus while the majority of lists will most likely prove irrelevant, he needs to win as many matches as possible at the moment if he is to remain in contention to retain his top 64 place at the end of the season.
11:35 – Amateur Mitchell Travis is one of three players who can now tie with James Cahill with a last 32 run this weekend and he is now underway in his opening match against Martin Gould. If Mitchell were able to win two matches today, he would finish above Cahill on countback, having enjoyed a better result at the most recent European Tour event.
Also in action now is Fergal O'Brien, who is chasing a place at the Grand Prix and also the Players Championship Grand Finals.
11:49 – Elliot Slessor is a frame to the good in what could be a crucial opening round match for him against Marc Davis, as he looks to take advantage of that defeat for James Cahill earlier in the day and earn a fresh tour card for next season.
12:31 – A 4-2 win for Robbie Williams against Thomas Dowling, a clearance of 73 in the final frame from 71 behind enough to secure victory. Robbie is another player who with a good run in Poland could bring himself into contention for a place in the Players Championship Grand Finals.
13:09 – A useful 4-0 win for Luca Brecel against Hammad Miah, which moves him up from 32nd place to 30th on the World Grand Prix list, as well as from 20th to 17th on the European Order of Merit, boosting his prospects of being in the Grand Finals.
13:14 – With his 4-0 victory against amateur Mitchell Travis, Martin Gould has put Travis out of the running for a tour card via this list, while Elliot Slessor is locked at 2-2 with Marc Davis in what could be a crucial match for him.
14:02 – A big win early this afternoon for Ireland's Fergal O'Brien, who defeats Lyu Chenwei 4-1 to progress to the second round. The results keeps alive his hopes of a place at the Grand Prix, with two more wins needed as it stands to overtake Michael Holt, while he also moves up above Michael Wasley on the European Order of Merit as it stands.
14:17 – Michael Holt has struggled for form of late and he has exited again at the first round here in Poland, losing 4-2 to Brazil's Igor Figueiredo. Although Michael is already assured of a place at the Grand Finals through the Asian list, he now cannot improve upon 32nd position in the World Grand Prix list and would miss out on the new event in Llandudno if Fergal O'Brien is able to reach the last 16 stage this weekend.
Next up for the Irishman will be Ryan Day, after he saw off Ken Doherty on the main table.
14:35 – One of the most significant results of the day there as Elliot Slessor loses out 4-3 to amateur Marc Davis on the pink, a scoreline which could prove to be the difference between Elliot remaining on the tour or not.
Had he been able to win that match, Elliot would have moved up above James Cahill and Stuart Carrington at the time of writing and into the top eight places of those who have no already secured a main tour card for next season, however with defeat, he now remains just outside of that group, with others below him still to play.
All is not yet lost for Elliot, depending on other results between now and the end of the season, but as it stands, he would be relegated from the tour at the end of the campaign.
14:53 – Another important result for Michael Wasley, who has lost out 4-2 to the improving Steven Hallworth this afternoon. The result leaves Wasley effectively holding onto the 24th and final qualifying place for the Grand Finals and looking over his shoulder with players behind him winning matches.
15:18 – In more positive news however, our latest winner is Stuart Carrington, who has defeated Richard Beckham 4-0 to add a potentially crucial €583 to his Order of Merit total and move above both Allan Taylor and James Cahill in the race to earn a fresh two-year tour card from next season.
15:50 – Through to the third round and further cementing his place inside the top 24 on the European Order of Merit is Mark Williams, who defeated a limping Tom Ford 4-0 on the main table this afternoon. The result lifts him to 16th place as it stands which will surely be enough for the Welshman to be sure of his place in the Grand Finals now.
16:58 – So midway through the second round, what else is there to keep an eye on today? In terms of the tour survival battle, one man worth tracking is Alex Davies, who having received a first round bye following the withdrawal of Nigel Bond, needs to win two more matches to move into position to retain his place. At the time of writing he leads Robin Hull 1-0.
In terms of the Players Championship Grand Finals, Liang Wenbo is the main man to keep an eye on, as at the moment he is level with Robbie Williams at 3-3, despite having taken the opening three frames in that match. Victory against Williams would see Liang close the gap to the man currently holding the final place, Michael Wasley.
And the man to watch in the Grand Prix race is Fergal O'Brien, who must defeat Ryan Day and then either Martin Gould or Gerard Greene to reach the last 16 to knock Michael Holt out of the 32 qualifying players as it stands.
18:14 – A potentially big win there for Alex Davies, who has put out Finland's Robin Hull 4-2 to progress to the last 32 and take his European Order of Merit total to 2,000 points. In simple terms, he must now defeat Luca Brecel during his next match later this evening to claim a fresh two-year tour card at the expense of James Cahill, who of course lost early this morning.
Elsewhere, Fergal O'Brien has defeated Ryan Day to also make the last 32 and further consolidate his position up inside the top 32. Another win is needed however, if the Irishman is to knock Michael Holt out of the top 32 qualifiers for the upcoming Grand Prix. Next up for him will be Martin Gould.
19:09 – A 4-1 win for David Gilbert against Liang Wenbo brings Liang's chase for a Grand Finals spot to an end this evening, in the process giving himself an opportunity of breaking into that group on Sunday. Next up for him will be Joe Perry, who today enjoyed a relatively trouble free run to the last 16.
Meanwhile Stuart Carrington has consolidated his position in respect of the tour survival battle with a 4-2 victory against Steven Hallworth in the last of the second round matches.
19:48 – Unfortunately for Alex Davies, Luca Brecel has proven to be too strong for him in Gdynia this evening, running out a 4-1 winner to end Alex's bid for a fresh two-year tour card for next season.
The result means that for now at least, James Cahill holds onto the final top eight spot and in the first instance at least, will be hoping that Shaun Murphy can defeat Jak Jones tomorrow to give him a bit of breathing space.
Of course, things can still change between now and the end of the season, meaning that Cahill will not know for certain whether he will retain his place until most likely after the World Championship qualifiers, but he will want to remain as high as possible to give himself the best chance.
20:22 – A 4-0 win for Mark Williams against Peter Lines sees him into the last 16 and surely cements his place inside the top 24 against of the Players Championship Grand Finals in Thailand.
20:59 – He gave it a good effort, but Ireland's Fergal O'Brien has just fallen short in his quest for a place at the World Grand Prix, losing 4-2 to Martin Gould this evening in the match that he had to win.
This means that for now at least, Michael Holt remains in 32nd place, with a run to the final/title required by somebody below him such as David Gilbert or Jamie Jones, if they are to edge him out.
Fergal does though remain in contention for a place in the Grand Finals and will now have to sweat on other results tomorrow before he learns his fate.
in the top 8. Joe Swail came back on tour like that a couple of years ago. Or did world snooker change the rules again regarding to amateurs ?
O'Sullivan (S.) has already qualified via the asian ptc order of merit.
Sorry only just noticed this – yes he qualifies through the Asian list due to that having finished first chronologically. Like Donaldson last year, should have made that clear.
Chris Wakelin is behind Fu on countback in the PC finals race, so I believe Fu is through to Thailand unless Dale and Higgins reach the last 8 this morning and Gilbert, Highfield and Carrington all reach the semi-finals. Wakelin will also be through unless 4 of these 5 events occur, which would appear to be very unlikely.
If J Robertson reaches the final, Williams would qualify via the Asian OOM instead of him, so 25th on the European OOM would get through to the finals.
Since Highfield and Gilbert would meet in the next round if both come back from 3-2 down King can be overtaken by only one of these, plus Carrington, so he's sure to finish in the top 24.

How to apply for a primary school place in Bath
The deadline for applying for reception and Year 3 spaces in September 2018 is Monday, January 15
Amanda Cameron-bathSenior reporter
The deadline for applying for places at Bath primary schools is looming.
Parents wishing to get a place for their child starting school for the first time in September must apply by midnight on Monday, January 15. The same deadline applies to children transferring to a junior school in year 3 in September.
There are 64 primary schools in Bath and North East Somerset, and competition is tough as each school has a limited number of places.
So, if you've left it until the last minute, we've put together a handy guide on how to apply.
If your child was born between September 1, 2013 and August 13, 2014, they they are eligible to start school in September 2018.
Parents who live in B&NES can apply via the council's admissions website or by completing a downloaded hard copy that can be emailed or posted. Those who live outside B&NES must apply via their own local authority. Regardless of the method, the council must have received your application by midnight on Monday, January 15, for your child to be considered for a place.
The Real Schools Guide 2018 reveals the best primary schools in your area
Parents are asked to name three schools they would like their child to go to, in order of preference.
When choosing schools, parents are advised to do their research and consider factors such as each school's admissions criteria and how they would get their child there.
The council then allocates each child to a school, depending on a combination of their parents' preferences, the criteria for entry, and the number of places available.
Parents can appeal the offer.

If a particular school is named in the statement of a child with special educational needs (SEN), that will take priority over the admissions criteria.
When completing an application form, the council advises parents to:
choose three schools and put them in the order of preference
make a local school one of your choices, otherwise your child will not be considered for a place at a local school
mention whether you expect to have more than one child at any of the schools on your list, but be aware that only local siblings will be given priority
name each school only once: putting the same school as your first, second and third choice will not increase your child's chances of getting a place.
Children at Freshford Primary School
What happens when a school has more applicants than places?
The council applies a set of criteria to decide which children will get a place.
All children whose parents have expressed a preference for that school - regardless of whether it was their first, second or third choice - are ranked against those admission criteria.
A certain number of children will be eligible for entry to one or more of the three schools their parents chose for them, at which point the council will allocate the school of higher preference.
Decision to implement new National Funding Formula for Bath's schools to be scrutinised
So, if your child is eligible to go number two and number three on your list, but not your first choice, you child would be given a place at your second choice school.
The place at your third choice school would be released and the council would use the ranked list to establish who next qualifies for that place if the school is oversubscribed.
The council can not always find a place at a school on the parents' preferred list.

It stresses that: "By naming more than one preference you are maximising your chances of being offered a place at a school you like and it does not decrease your chance of qualifying for a place at your first preference school."
The council has to offer your child a place at a school in the local authority area though, even if it's not close to your home.
What are the admissions criteria?
The council sets the admissions criteria for all schools in B&NES apart from academies and voluntary aided schools. Their admissions' criteria are set by the academy trust and school governors, respectively.

The criteria set by the council fall are as follows.
Priority A:
Children in public care (looked after children) or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject
to an adoption, care arrangement order or special guardianship order.
New starters at St Philips Primary School
Priority B:
The 3 categories in this criterion will be given equal consideration.
Children who live within a 1.5 mile radius* of the school and for whom there will be a sibling in attendance on the admission date at the preferred school.
Children who live outside a 1.5 mile radius* of the school but their sibling was offered a place prior to September 2013 and will be in attendance at the time of admission.
Children who live outside a 1.5 mile radius* of the school but it is their closest Community or Voluntary Controlled School and for whom there will be a sibling in attendance on the admission date at the preferred school.
Priority C:
Children who live closest to the school as measured in a direct line.

When will I found out which school my child has been offered a place at?
Parents who applied online can login to their account to see the details of the offer made on April 16, 2018. Parents who made a paper application will receive a letter sent out by 2nd class post.
When do I have to respond to the offer by?
Parents must respond to an offer by April 30, 2018.
What if I missed the deadline for applying?
The deadline for a late application for reception and junior is May 4, 2018.

What if I don't like the school that's been allocated?
If you applied on time, the deadline for submitting a written appeal is May 14, 2018. Appeals will be heard from the end of June onwards.
Parents will hear about re-allocated places by the end of May/early June.
More details, including paper and online application forms can be found on the council's school admissions website.

It's often hard to find good writing about the state of online documentation. Andy Oram writes for O'Reilly OnLamp, and he has contributed a couple of very interesting articles on the motivations of free documentation writers, and the state of free documentation.
Why Do People Write Free Documentation? Results of a Survey was published on 14 June 2007 and contains some very interesting research results.
"Even if all the creative work you want to remix is licensed under a copyleft license, because those licenses are different licenses, you can't take creative work from one, and remix it in another. Wikipedia, for example, is licensed under the FDL. It requires derivatives be licensed under the FDL only. And the same is true of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license that governs Opsound content, as well as much of the creativity within Flickr. All of these licenses were written without regard to the fundamental value of every significant advance in the digital age — interoperability"
With free software, the GPL is the standard license, and since no such agreed 'standard' exists for documentation, then improving a document using multiple sources cannot occur.
FLOSS Manuals has decided to use the GPL. Since there is no 'standard' for docs (I have written about this in an earlier FLOSS Manuals post about the problems with the GNU Free Documentation License), then we might as well side with the programmers until this interoperability issue is resolved. Documentation is after all, often included with software, and it's easier for programmers if they don't have to worry about license compatibility problems between the documentation and the source code. However, one tactic we still might employ is to dual-license in Creative Commons so that bloggers etc could more easily copy and adapt documentation for their own use.
Andy Oram omitted the ever frustrating fact that often the documentation just doesn't exist. This is always going to be the case as the first step of a software development project is seldom to write the user manual. Documentation is usually last on the to-do list, and sometimes it falls off the checklist all together. This might be understandable if the project was new. However, there are many times I have looked for documentation and found it doesn't exist anywhere, even for relatively mature software. The only remedy for this is to hope that more software developers take documentation more seriously and develop a documentation team alongside their coding team. The other option is that community-led projects like FLOSS Manuals fill the gap. This is what we are trying to achieve but our efforts are only needed because the state of documentation online is so bad. In a better world, there would be no need for such an effort.

Q: Why can't I press control to connect the button on my secondviewcontroller in Main.story board to my MainViewController.Swift I am currently new to programming, previously programmed with matlab only, and was wondering why the code below isn't working. Initially, I connected two ViewControllers by using the "popover" option when control clicking and dragging the text field to the secondviewcontrol. However, I realised that I was then unable to connect the text field to the same ViewController page. After some research, I was told that I had to write the program for popovers in order to include functions in the popover.
My question is that if I continue to use the storyboard way to switch between two ViewControllers, how can I write functions for the buttons/textfields in the secondViewController.
However, if this is not possible then below is my second question regarding my program.
The program below seemed to work for other people but not for me. And I am wondering why it wouldn't work. When I run the program, there aren't any errors therefore the program doesn't crash, however the button is unable to carry out the function switch. The textfield, which I controlled click to connect to the ViewController on the right, is called TodaysEntry.
@IBAction func Todaysentry(sender: UIButton) {

    func switchScreen() {
        let mainStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: NSBundle.mainBundle())
        let vc : UIViewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("TodaysReview") as UIViewController
        self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)}

I am sorry if this is unclear or confusing. Please tell me if there's any clarification needed.


Wild and cultivated plant species depend on different pollinators for their reproduction. These critical pollination services to natural and agricultural ecosystems, are provided by wild bees which therefore have pivotal influence on biodiversity. It is important to characterize bee biodiversity and assess the vulnerability of the bee fauna to abiotic and biotic changes in the environment. Recent studies suggest that invasive bumble bee populations in Israel, as in other places in the world, compete with natural bee species and may lead to profound changes in plant and pollinators' biodiversity. In order to assess the risks that both plants and native bees are subject to them by the B. terrestrisinvasion, we propose to characterize the plant species that are visited by B. terrestris and the native bee species that also visit them, and therefore are subject to competition from B. terrestris. Our research goals are: 1) Compose an updated list of flowering plant species that are visited by B. terrestris. 2) Compose an updated list of native bee species that visit key plants that are also visited by B. terrestris. These bees may experience severe competition from introduced bumblebees. 3) Determine the temporal pattern of B. terrestris visitation to key flower species. This may provide critical information for determining whether invasive B. terrestris compete with local species by early arrival and depletion of floral resources. To meet these goals we will collect detailed taxonomic information for wild bee species and flowering plants in three representative locations in the Judean Hills.


As we are coming up on living in VA for nearly two years I had never heard of the Bluebell trail just a 25 minute drive from our house. I was stalking people on Instagram and came across some photos of the lovely Bluebells at a near by park. I made my way over the very next day.
I had only been to the Bull Run park once before but had no idea how huge it actually was.
We stopped in a few places where we saw Bluebells. Pretty, but I wasn't finding as many as I had seen online.
After maybe 15 minutes of driving we finally found a sign for Bluebell trail parking. Dave wasn't feeling too well, so I started off on my own.
As I started on the trail my heart sank a bit, only seeing faint white flowers every where, only with the occasional little batch of bluebells.
I was thinking I was too late and had missed out on them. But I continued on, following the blue markers on the trees from time to time.
After nearly 15 minutes of walking I could see them in the distance, tons and tons of bluebells!! They thickly lined a river, as far as I could see!
I was nearly out of light at this point, it had taken longer to get to them than I had expected, but I still got some really love shots.
So glad I got the chance to see them! I am loving every second of Spring!
If you want to see all the photos I took I uploaded them all on Flickr!

Blockbuster History: Wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you
Every week this summer, we'll be taking an historical tour of the Hollywood blockbuster by examining an older film that is in some way a spiritual precursor to one of the weekend's wide releases. This week: Pixar Animation Studios' love affair with franchising continues with their first-ever prequel, Monsters University. In keeping with my quest to have a review of every single Pixar film up on this blog, it seemed the ideal time to take a peek at that film's august precursor.
Though a truly legendary (and alas! clearly, not to be repeated soon), almost uninterrupted run of films from 2003 until 2010 that were very truly "family films", tapping into emotions rich and honest enough for adults with characters and situations simple and entertaining enough for children left Pixar Animation Studios with a reputation as the grown-up among American animation studios, they were still ultimately bound to the mission of all Western commercial animation in the wake of Walt Disney's empire-building: they made kids' films. Kids' films that, from time to time, they disguised immensely well by making them about tragic, widowed octogenarians or rats with an all-consuming desire to create edible art. But still, kids' films.
That's not, by the way, a slam: lots of us were kids at one point, and to judge from the reception afforded to the ludicrous juvenalia promoted as major Hollywood filmmaking, plenty of us still are. Better, then, to have the absolute best kids' films we can possibly get our hands on. In Pixar's case, I wonder if it gets any better than 2001's Monsters, Inc. - the studio's fourth feature, the first not directed by John Lasseter, and probably the one that is most overtly and unapologetically for children, though by all means, it offers plenty in compensation to the adults seeing the movie with those children.
We'll get there, but not until I have restored the film its dignity as a narrative that meets little kids on their own level with very nearly the same gravity as a film that e.g. provides a complex universe and code of behavior for the toys that plainly come to life when we're done playing with them. And I would do that by posing a straightforward question: what is Monsters, Inc. about? Not, I would hold, what you probably think it is. At heart, the film's driving message is exactly what G.K. Chesterton was getting at in his defense of children's fantasy, one of the most important pieces of children's literary criticism ever written:
Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon.*
Though it's nothing so violent as that in Monsters, Inc. The dragons here are the good guys, and they are not defeated but normalised and defanged. The creepy-crawlies in your closet and under your bed? They don't want to eat you, they're just blue-collar utilities workers who are terrified of you getting near them. And the best thing for the monsters doesn't even turn out to be scared children, but laughing children, we learn in a twist ending that might be the gentlest single moment in Pixar - the whole final five minutes is as plaintively sweet as anything else the studio ever did, the closest they ever came to the innocence and "no bad guys" mentality of Pixar chief John Lasseter's beloved Studio Ghibli.
It's an ironic and perhaps out-of-place finish - one might profitably argue "hypocritical" even, though I love the movie too much to be the one to mount that argument - for the film that did more than anything else to cement the Pixar Formula, as it would come to dominate their movies over the years (and not just their own: Walt Disney Animation's Wreck-It Ralph follows it to a T): the first third establishes a fascinating alternate world, the second third explores it using unerringly lovable characters, and ramps up to a loving, emotional release that gets delayed until the the very end by the final third, an extended chase scene. It's exactly the plot skeleton that makes Toy Story 3 a masterpiece, arguably compromises WALL·E, and makes Up the tonally weirdest animated film of the present century. Technically speaking, the structure debuted with the previous Pixar movie, Toy Story 2 (it's embryonically in the first Toy Story, as well), but MI codifies it and runs with it to an extreme: the abrupt shift from the fanciful, flawlessly cartoon-logical chase through an infinite factory full of teleporting doors to the waterworks of the close shot (and if the last minute of this movie doesn't make your eyes wet, I just don't know what to do with you) is unprecedented in Pixar, and would shortly become their absolutely favorite trick to play, though how consistently they manage to do it well is ultimately a matter of personal taste.
But back to the matter at hand: humanising monsters, as one might humanise toys or ants. From a purely conceptual standpoint, Monsters, Inc. is as imaginative as any animated film made in a generation: it creates a society for a wide-ranging menagerie of monsters of every description, analogises that society to a generically American city, and presents its monsters as entirely normal people in every regard. The city of Monstropolis is a teeming mass of background details that are frankly ridiculous in the effort that goes into "monstering" them: it's as ideal a candidate for freeze-frame viewing as you'll ever find, just to bask in the unnervingly comprehensive production design and art direction. It's not worth cataloging it all, neither the details nor the referential jokes (though I have to go on record as saying that the re-enactment of a scene from the 1952 Chuck Jones short Feed the Kitty is as noble an homage to classical animation as Pixar has ever performed), because even a cursory viewing can't help but pick up at least some of the work that went into creating a deep, totally plausible environment for the film's action, using indescribable breadth of imagination to create the illusion of a quotidian world.
Even the heroes are basically workaday figures: James "Sulley" Sullivan (John Goodman) and his best friend Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) are employed by the utility firm that harnesses the scream energy of children as a fuel source for Monstropolis, where they are the long-ranking #1 team at scream collection, and for almost a whole act, the only conflict that motivates them is trying to beat the unpleasant Randall Boggs (Steve Buscemi) to setting a new record for most career scares. It's little, character-driven stuff, and it only increases slightly when the actual plot kicks in: a human child, nicknamed by Sulley "Boo" (Mary Gibbs), sneaks into the Monsters, Inc. building through an open portal, and immediately latches onto the big furry monster she insistently calls "kitty".
Nominally, the two monsters are racing against hope to get Boo back into the human world - and right on schedule, it turns out that she's actually at the center of a nefarious plot to extract screams from children through vastly more horrible means than just scaring them. But until Mike and Sulley are banished to the human world for stumbling onto this intelligence, inaugurating the action-packed third of the movie, Monsters, Inc. remains defiantly and delightfully tiny. A massive, disproportionate amount of its appeal to adults - leastways, to every adult I have ever discussed the movie with - is centered around Boo, who appears to be just shy of three years old, with a vocabulary even younger (her part was recorded by following Gibbs around with a microphone as she was playing, leading to such utterly adorable non sequiturs as "I"m Tigger!" while wearing a hard hat), and is abnormally, fearfully cute. Among the cutest toddlers in cinema history, certainly. And there's an obvious, inevitable intimacy and smallness that happens when a film is built to such a degree around the relationship between a big hairy monster and a toddler.
Successfully combining intimacy with a sprawling alt-universe world, marrying a gentle character comedy to a slam-bang chase finish - this is exactly what Pixar was doing at its best in its glory years, though its success at doing all these things is debatable, perhaps (Monsters, Inc. has always struck me as being somewhat less enthusiastically received than most of the studios' 2000s output). This is all married to super-shiny technology, and all - the new software designed to render individual strands of hair made this, in 2001, the most complex and sophisticated computer-animated film ever produced - but that's simply not the point of any of this. It's technology designed to be invisible, drawing us more fully into the setting but not bragging about it. For this fixedly sweet bedtime story and exercise in imaginative possibility, there could be no better fit.

Something happens, good or bad. I ask myself, "Am I other than this?"
The Divinity you are is the same Divinity I am.
To believe in separateness, is to forget our unity.
What we share in reality is so much greater than our differences.
What is compassion? It is knowing we are one, and understanding someone's suffering, like it was our own.
If I look at you with my heart, I will see myself reflected in a different form, but I can see through the appearance, to the essence we share.
So, if you accept that reality is unconditioned, then our reflection will be like two empty mirrors, facing each other, and floating in a clear sky.
In essence, they will disappear, and the empty, perfect sky remains. Whatever appears before you, this is what is happening. This is true seeing.
You have always been one with everything you experience.
It does not matter if you believe this or not. Reality never changes, and, reality is love.

In comparison with other European surnames, Italian surnames have a surprising number of forms. They reflect the regional variations and the many dialects of the Italian language, each with its own distinctive features. For example, in Northern Italy the typical Italian surname suffix is "i", whereas in Southern Italy it is "o". Additionally, spelling changes frequently occurred because medieval scribes and church officials often spelled names as they sounded rather than according to any specific spelling rules.

A look at the immigration and passenger lists has shown a number of people bearing the name Boera: Gino Bove, who arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1822 at the age of 21; D. Bovelli arrived in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1823 at the age of 46..


Flybuys and Woolworth's rewards system are so rewarding, especially when you are frequently doing your grocery shopping from them. But collecting points can be a little challenging as you have to bring your old receipts from your previous purchases to be scanned.
My role was to conduct User Research to validate the idea and create Visual Design. For this, I used the Design Thinking model as my process as it helps me understand my users and systematically apply these techniques to solve problems creatively and innovatively.
Gain an empathic understanding of the problem you are trying to solve.
I set out to search for any services that are currently on the market offering solutions to the problem. I found out Flybuys and Woolworths both have an app, but it only shows points of the user and history of the purchases.
I set up interviews to further understand "Why" users need a solution to this problem. But before that, I set up interview objectives, target audience, and questions before starting the interviews.
• Define how often the users find themselves in a situation when they don't have their previous receipts to collect points.
• Define how they solve this problem. What tools and approaches they use?
I selected to interview different types of users both male and female, with either Fluybuys or Woolworth's rewards membership, and people with different familiarity with technologies.
Synthesise all the information to define the core problems that you have identified up to this point.
• Eight said they always forget to carry their previous receipts.
• Four take pictures of the barcode and keep it on their phones.
• Five said they forget carrying their rewards cards.
• Two said they would have the previous receipts, but they would forget to scan them during checkout.
I analysed the research results and noticed users similar behaviour and pain points.
• 8/10 always forget carrying their previous purchase receipts.
• Users feel frustrated to collect points.
• Users were complaining about missing out on deals as they do not have access to the weekly printed magazine.
• The current apps do not support documenting of their receipts automatically.
Creating an app that supports both Flybuys and Woolworths rewards programs providing users better ways to document and collect rewards points. Plus remind them when they are in a store to scan the coupon and show them expiring rewards coupons. Show latest deals and tips on how to collect more points.
Identify new solutions to the problem statement, and start to look for alternative ways of viewing the problem.
With the problem statement identified. I started generating ideas for the features of my app and design its structure. I sketched the main User Flow, which helped me to detect & guide all possible actions done by the user.
The next step was to test design ideas and put them on to paper and digital. I started with Low Fidelity, Mid Fidelity and the High Fidelity wireframes. With this I was able to cost-efficiently test my design and iterate it based on user's feedback.
A key consideration for building mobile app UIs has to do with your fingers. Unlike web wireframes, mobile wireframes depict user interfaces that are gesture-driven. To navigate mobile user interfaces, you'll need to use your fingers in certain ways. Knowing which gestures are appropriate, and how to communicate these gestures is important.
A prototype helps you to run through the entire app, tying up any loose ends, and evaluating its design.
Here are the few key learnings from the project. Always prototype your product to make it look like a finished product. Secondly, Learn to ask for feedback. It's going to hurt, but remember, you are not your design. And finally, learn to focus on your users try to step into their shoes and empathise.

Strictly's Anton Du Beke partners Peppa Pig for charity telethon
The show will raise money for five animal charities.
Help the Animals will raise money for five animal charities (Channel 5/PA)
December 20 2018 18:36 PM
Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke is pairing up with one of his most unusual dance partners – as he takes to the floor with Peppa Pig.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/strictlys-anton-du-beke-partners-peppa-pig-for-charity-telethon-37646134.html
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/ecfe6/37646133.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/bpanews_3e3ab6f2-fa87-44d1-907f-554fb1d4a70b_1
The professional dancer spoke of his excitement at performing with the children's television character as he rehearsed for charity telethon Help The Animals At Christmas, to be shown on Channel 5 on Friday.
As well as performing on the dancefloor, he will present an hour of the show, which will raise money for five animal charities, with former Strictly contestant Gethin Jones.
Du Beke said: "Dancing with Peppa is the most excited I have been since I did the samba roll with Gethin.
"I think it's going to be marvellous.
"Jumping up and down in muddy puddles is one of her most brilliant dance moves."
He said the character was a firm favourite with his children George and Henrietta, aged 21 months.
The dancer, who vowed 2019 would be his year for Strictly, added: "Dancing with Peppa on live television… I'm going to record it, it's going to be a keeper."
Co-host Jones, a contestant on Strictly in 2007, said he was pleased to work with Du Beke again, but they were "like an old married couple".
He said: "When I did the series of Strictly Anton was so lovely. He helped me quite a bit in terms of how to dance as a man with posture and stuff and we did become friends, I'm very grateful to him."
Du Beke added: "He's tremendously good. He's the solid one and I fluff about."
The show will include special episodes of Channel 5 favourites Ben Fogle's New Lives In The Wild, The Yorkshire Vet, The Dog Rescuers, which will feature the cast of Neighbours, and Jo Brand's Kitten Rescue.
Among the stars who have shown their support for the telethon are Simon Cowell, who recorded a video message of thanks on behalf of himself, partner Lauren Silverman, son Eric and their dogs.
The X Factor judge said: "So this is something which I think is really important particularly at this time of the year. You will all go to heaven for doing this.
"So from myself, and Lauren, and Eric, and Squiddly and Diddly and Freddy, we all want to say thank you from the humans and woof from the dogs, which means thank you in dog language."
Cold Feet star John Thomson and presenter Gaby Roslin will host another hour segment of the show.
Roslin said: "I'm mad about animals and I'm mad about John."
The pair said the show would include some tear-jerking moments but lots of laughs as well.
"We're very naughty, the two of us, and we'll be let loose on live television," Roslin said.
Help The Animals At Christmas will raise funds for the RSPCA, Scottish SPCA, Blue Cross, The Donkey Sanctuary and Wildlife Aid Foundation.
The show will be on Channel 5 from 8pm on Friday.

The Port Orford Public Library recognizes the need to protect your privacy regarding the questions you ask and the materials you borrow or use in the library. All library records relating to your use of the library and its resources are confidential (ORS 192.503). Such records, whether print or electronic, include, but are not limited to, library card registration records, email addresses, circulation records, computer reservation records.
The library keeps the minimum number of records necessary for maintaining operations. Library records are disclosed only:
Upon presentation of a library card.
Upon presentation of a library card number and birth date.
Upon presentation of photo I.D.
Upon request of a parent or legal guardian of a child under 13 years of age who accepted responsibility and who is named on the record. A parent or legal guardian must show a photo I.D. or library card.
Under a written court order, a subpoena or search warrant presented by a documented official and then only with the express consent of the Library Director and the District's Legal Counsel.
All other patron usage is kept for statistical purposes only and no identifying information is retained. We avoid creating or retaining unnecessary records. Computer sign-up sheets, materials recommendation requests, interlibrary loan requests, and other such documents are destroyed after necessary information is collected.
Patron records include only current information such as items currently checked out, items on hold, and overdue materials and fines. Patrons can "opt-in" to have their circulation information saved in their library account. Patrons are entitled to view their personal information electronically and are responsible for keeping the information accurate and up-to-date.
The Director of the Library is the custodian of library records and is the only party authorized to receive or comply with public records requests or inquiries from law enforcement officers. The Director may delegate this authority to other members of the library management team. The Director confers with the District's Legal Counsel before determining the proper response to a request for records.
POLICY: COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT (5/09)
Basic responsibility for the selection of library materials shall be the job of the Library Director, in accordance with the Guidelines below.
Library materials shall neither be included nor proscribed because of the race, nationality, political or religious views of the author, or because of individual or group prejudice within the community. We support the "Freedom to Read, and Freedom to View" reports of the American Library Association. We have adopted the ALA Library Bill of Rights and the Freedom reports as official library policy.
Suggestions from library patrons will be encouraged. A Suggestion/ Request page will be placed in the library for patron use.
A "Request for Book/Materials Reconsideration" form is available for any patron who wants materials in the library reconsidered (see form at the end of this section).
General Guidelines:
It is the goal of the Library Board and Staff to provide patrons with a well-rounded collection that reflects a broad range of interests and points of view. Due to space limits, however, the collection is necessarily restricted in scope and numbers. Donations are a welcomed, necessary part of any library collection; however, the library reserves the right to determine whether or not the donated materials fit the scope and space limitations of the collection. We do not add abridgments, and we try to add as few items of marginal use as possible. The collection constantly undergoes assessment and change as materials are added and discarded. Portions of the collection that need to be updated or expanded are noted, as are areas in which little circulation occurs. Particular attention is given to the breadth and depth of the collection during the annual inventory. The library's established interlibrary loan arrangements with libraries both within and outside of Curry County make it possible to respond to almost any patron request for a particular book.
Selection of books in all categories will be guided by literary reviews, recommendations for small libraries, and patron requests. Specific criteria for collection development are as follows:
Books: Selection of books of fiction will include English and American literature, best-sellers, and a wide variety of recreational reading that reflects the interests of our patrons.
Selection of books of non-fiction will provide some basic works in every major subject area, and a more thorough treatment of those areas in which our patrons have special interest.
The adult reference collection will be as up-to-date as space and the budget allow. The goal is to have at least one current general reference work in every major subject area.
The adult large print and the young adult collections will be updated and enhanced relative to circulation statistics. The young adult non-fiction collection will include books on current topics as well as those of major public interest.
The children's collection will contain award-winning literature, titles for ages from birth to teens, and up-to-date non-fiction and reference materials.
Audiovisual Materials:
Purchase of videos or DVDs will be limited to those that are primarily educational in nature. Preference will be given to DVD over VHS.
The collection of books on audiocassette, CD and MP3 will reflect both fiction and non-fiction materials. Preference will be given to CD and MP3 over audiocassette. Particular attention will be given to requests from patrons who are visually-impaired.
The collection of music CDs will reflect a wide range of music, determined primarily by what materials are donated. There is no budget for a music collection.
The magazine collection will be made up of titles of local interest. Articles from other magazines may be obtained from other Curry County libraries by FAX.
The three Curry County newspapers will be purchased each year, augmented by daily papers as the budget permits.
POLICY: LIBRARY PRIVILEGES (10/13)
A majority of circulating library materials may be checked out for 21 days, DVD's may be checked out for 7 days. All items may be renewed twice unless someone else is waiting for them, in which case they may not be renewed. Other check-out arrangements may be made with the permission of the Library Director.
Reminders of overdue materials will be given to patrons by email.
Fines and Charges
The Library no longer charges fines. Items that are damaged or lost will be charged to the patron at full cost. Arrangements may be made to replace lost or damaged items with a new copy in lieu of payment.

Will booze crackdown kill the buzz in Bellwoods?
Trinity Bellwoods Park is a pretty good place to party. Copious amounts of beer are consumed there during the sweltering heat waves, and groups meet up, hang out, and mingle. It's like a regular old Cheers under the open city skies. And there's not even any litter, because friendly elderly people wander around from group to group collecting empties.
But the gloriousness that is Bellwoods may be about to change, at least to a certain degree. Residents in the area have been making complaints about the apparent wildness going down in the park, so now you can expect more cops on the prowl, prosecuting fun-havers everywhere and making it rain $125 fines.
The crappy crackdown is part of "Project Green Glasses," which is an incredibly nice euphemism, and the name for an initiative police are taking to enforce public drinking laws in a number of public parks (Bellevue Square Park in Kensington is also on the party chopping block).
"We want the regular folks of the neighbourhood to be able to use these parks," Sgt. Ralph Brookes of 14 Division told the Star. "Making the park a favourite destination for children and families is a huge issue. There are summer camp programs in the park. There's a wading pool in there." He said complaints about revelers have been "pouring in" since May.
So, what gives? Young people who want to enjoy a beer in what amounts to their back yard are no longer "regular folks"? People should be ticketed for displays of public drunkenness that put others in danger, that destroy the environment, or that truly disrupt the neighbourhood with excessive noise. But it's individuals who should be punished for making these screwups, not the group as a whole. Let's not be heavy handed here and kill off one of the most vibrant parts of the neighbourhood.
