It's semi-finals week, and I am more than usually excited!!!
I had the great fun of attending a sewing class this weekend, and we spent ages chatting about the Great British Sewing Bee. The consensus was that it was a terrific show, and was inspiring sewers to get their machines out and start sewing. There's some negative press out there (why does the Daily Mail have to keep publishing those negative, snarky articles by Jim Shelly?), but on the whole there's lots of genuine excitement for the show. It really was great to talk to other people who are enjoying the show as much as I am.
Before I get started on this week's episode, I thought you might be interested to know where you can learn more about the four remaining contestants.
Drape a dress using 3m of fabric, pins and a dressmaking form (techniques must include cutting, draping, pleating, shaping and gathering) in 3 hours.
Surprisingly this week's pattern challenge didn't involve a pattern at all. Contestants were asked to select 3m of fabric and making a dress with draping and pleating, using a dressmaking form.
There was only one fabric choice this week that I didn't like, and that was Heather's. It was a satiny, floral print in a really drab colour. Chinelo chose a lovely orange large print floral, Tamara chose a red and white floral, and Heather chose my favourite fabric with a cream and black wavy print.
Probably the most difficult part of this challenge is that none of the contestants seem to have done much, or any, draping using a dressmaking form. Chinelo was obviously the most confident, given that she doesn't generally work from patterns, but she seemed less sure of herself than usual.
Lynda draped a strapless maxi dress with a high waist, and a big floppy "bow" detail. Heather made a sleeveless, cowl neckline dress with a pleated, knee-length skirt. Tamara made a sleeveless knee-length dress using pleating and tucking. Chinelo made a strapless maxi dress with an empire-line waist and a drapey, "tulip" skirt.
Chinelo - Patrick wasn't sure that the skirt worked as it wasn't a proper tulip shape. May really liked it. The judges noted that it wasn't completely symmetrical, and almost worked. They commented that it wasn't evenly sewn and was a bit "lumpy bumpy".
Tamara - tucks wer used for shaping at waist and under the arms going in different directions. May felt they were sometimes fighting with each other. Patrick felt it was a little too over tucked, and that a dart would have cleaned it up and given the draped sections more impact.
Heather - using a bias cut on the bodice meant the front is sitting well. May loved the draped neckline and felt it worked well. The judges liked the nice even pleats, which gave the back a good shape, but there was a giant pleat on one side (which Heather made to take in extra fabric) which had got caught inside.
Lynda - The skirt looked balanced and flowed well, the bodice fit really well and was well executed. Patrick thought it was a dry good demonstration of how you can build something on the mannequin.
The results from 4th place are Tamara, Chinelo, Heather in second, and Lynda in first.
Take a sleeveless dress and add sleeves in 1 3/4 hours.
Contestants were given a basic fitted, grey, sleeveless dress and asked to add sleeves. They could use any fabric or trim from the haberdashery. The judges were going to be looking for symmetry and a good finish. May pointed out that contestants need to make sure they measure the depth of the armscye, the circumference of the armscye and the circumference of the arm in order to get perfectly fitting sleeves. She thought that this was the most difficult alteration challenge they had been given, because they need to draft a pattern from scratch, and the judges wanted precision.
Chinelo added short sleeves with a tucked detail on the top in a bright geometric print.
Tamara added short sleeves with a gathered top, button cuff and large cutout feature above the cuff button in a scalloped stripe, pastel print. She knew what a sleeve pattern should look like, but had never drafted one before.
Heather added long sleeves with a gathered top in a blue, spotty fabric.
Lynda added long, fitted sleeves with a buttoned cuff in a drab mauve fabric. She had also never drafted a sleeve before. Lynda alarmed Claudia but admitting that she had measured-ish and drafted-ish her sleeve.
Chinelo - Patrick thought it was a different choice of fabric, but he liked it. The judges noticed the pink stripe that was perfectly centred, and ran vertically down the sleeve, both sleeves were identical, and the seams were smooth.
Tamara - The shoulder pleats were evenly done, there was nice topstitching on the cuffs and cutout opening, but the sleeves were not vertical, and pitched slightly forwards.
Heather - Patrick's eagle eye noted that the sleeve lengths appeared uneven and whipped out a tape measure - 1/4" longer on one sleeve! The judges noted that the pattern of dots on the sleeves ran perfectly vertical, the shoulder lines were very smooth, and there was no distortion.
Lynda - One sleeve was lovely, and one was pulling out of shape. One cuff was neatly done and one was uneven. Patrick noted that the button holes had been sewn across the cuff, instead of around.
The results from 4th place are Lynda, Tamara, Heather in second and Chinelo in first.
Copy a favourite item of clothing in 6.5 hours.
Contestants were asked to bring in a favourite item of clothing, and to recreate it. Contestants were not allowed to bring in patterns. They either had to draft a pattern on paper, or take a pattern from the original garment (using a method like rubbing off). May felt that this challenge would demonstrate a useful set of skills. Lots of people have a garment in their wardrobe they love, and would want to recreate. Patrick thought this was a substantially difficult challenge. It's not just tracing an outline of a garment. There needs to be an understanding of how the geometry of the garment construction works.
Chinelo copied a boned, strapless party dress which had a semi-circular skirt decorated with rows of ruffled chiffon - 42 rows! The recreated skirt was made from strips of flat organza with an ombre effect from cream to black. Patrick thought she was absolutely crazy to make a skirt with so much work involved. Chinelo drafted her pattern by measuring the original dress, and drafting a paper pattern.
Tamara copied her favourite yoga outfit which featured a top made from 22 panels. She tracked her pattern onto micro fibre cloth by feeling for the seams and drawing around the shapes. Tamara had chosen a range of fabrics for her top, and had to be very careful to manage the different stretches.
Heather copied a simple fitted, sleeveless shift dress. She made her pattern by sewing darts into a draft fabric first, then laying it on the original dress to trace the outline. Once this was done, she unpicked the darts to reveal her pattern. Heather was worried that her dress was much too simple, compared to the other contestants, and wanted to make sure she achieve a perfect finish.
Lynda copied her favourite knit wrap dress. She took measurements and drew a rough plan on paper. She then began tracing her dress onto the new fabric with chalk. Lynda was halfway through cutting when she realised she had not bought enough fabric. Patrick and May allowed Lynda into the haberdashery to pick a new fabric. Unfortunately there didn't seem to be a huge selection of knit fabric available, and the fabric Lynda chose was softer and more mobile than her original fabric.
Chinelo - the top is nicely balanced and fits well, some of the sewing is a little uneven, the layers on the skirt are attached evenly, and the ombre grading in the skirt works really well. May preferred the copy to the original garment, and Patrick thought Chinelo had updated the dress and made it more refined. I couldn't help noticing the threads hanging off every row of chiffon. Perhaps if the strips had been bias cut, or cut from a non-fraying fabric, the finish would have been neater.
Tamara - the garment works incredibly well and fits perfectly. Tamara made a multi-panelled, multi-fabric garment and everything is sitting where it should. May liked the 3-step zig zag top stitching. I thought the copied garments looked much stiffer than the original yoga clothes.
Heather - the fit is a bit disappointing. It's tight around the hips and wrinkling across the back. May suggested Heather may have taken the hips in too much, or made it too long in the back bodice. Patrick noted that one shoulder is a fraction off, and is sitting up. Overall it was an extremely accurate copy.
Lynda - May commented on the nightmare of a day for Lynda. While the skirt pleats are even and well spaced, the waistline is "going for a bit of a walk". The pattern was matched well on the seams, but it was tipping forwards.
Heather - they are not mad about her copied dress. It didn't fit at all well, and was the simplest garment.
Lynda - she has been terribly inconsistent. She won the first challenge and the judges thought her dress was excellent, but she made a big mistake in the construction of her copied dress.
Tamara - she didn't do well on the first two challenges, but her yoga outfit was brilliant.
Garment of the week went to … Tamara for her yoga outfit.
I'm so sad to see Lynda leaving. She was definitely the most inconsistent of the remaining contestants, and frequently went from top to bottom throughout an episode. I think if Tamara hadn't made such a complicated and successful yoga outfit, it would very likely have been her leaving this week.
We were given a very vague sneak peek of next week, that involved yards of tulle, dresses that looked suspiciously wedding themed (perhaps flower girl and bridesmaids), and Chinelo wishing it was over and having a teary moment. As much as I'm looking forwards to the grand final, I don't want the show to be over.
The Thrifty Stitcher - Claire-Louise Hardie is the Sewing Producer for The Great British Sewing Bee, and usually does posts about the patterns used in the first challenge on each episode, and also has some nice posts about techniques used. She has posted some tips and links for draping and copying existing clothes this week.
Thanks for posting a detailed recap and the links. I'm in Australia and at the mercy of finding eps on YouTube. It's easy to find out who leaves each week but I miss the sewing details and this was great. I do feel the 'ghosts' of May and Patrick over my shoulder when I sew and wrote a mock judgement of one of my disasters!
Glad you enjoyed the recap. I too find myself taking more care when I'm sewing, so I can produce a beautifully finished garment. I used to be really haphazard, and I'm trying to unlearn some really lazy habits.
Linda was the most consistent! She won more firsts/best in show than anyone else. She had the best across the board skills of anyone. The week earlier they said she was the most consistent competitor as well. Weird. Heather or Tamara should have gone. Probably Heather, who is not that interesting although has nice finishing skills at times.

I stayed in this Camp for almost one week. People here are very friendly and flexible. Basically they came up with new ideas for another adventure on a daily basis.
The food was one of the best dishes I had while travelling through Jordan (and I travelled the country for 5 weeks!).
I especially enjoyed that our guide in the camp could tell us more about the star constellations!

5 Potential World Title Showdowns For Martin Nguyen In 2020
Jay Furness
ONE Featherweight World Champion Martin "The Situ-Asian" Nguyen reaffirmed his position at the top of the division with back-to-back stoppage wins in 2019. However, there are several determined athletes who could challenge him for the crown in the next 12 months.
The featherweight ranks are stronger than ever, with established names and rising stars all vying for a shot at the Vietnamese-Australian's coveted belt. All those warriors possess the striking firepower, grappling acumen, and hunger that comes with the hunt for World Title gold.
Nguyen could have a tough year ahead, but he relishes the prospect of squaring off against the strongest contenders in his weight class.
"It will be a big year for me. I want to get three or four fights next year. I want all the contenders," the 30-year-old previously said.
"I'm going to line all of them up, one by one, ONE Championship is going to send me the contracts, and I'm just going to sign them. I'm going to take them all out."
The division's reigning king is in fine form and sounds more motivated than ever, so let's take a look at five of his potential adversaries in 2020.
Christian Lee
Despite now being the ONE Lightweight World Champion and ONE Lightweight World Grand Prix Champion, Christian "The Warrior" Lee spent most of his career in the featherweight division, where "The Situ-Asian" was his fiercest rival.
The pair faced off twice, with Nguyen achieving victory both times. However, after being submitted in their first contest back in August 2016, "The Warrior" closed the gap and battled to a close split-decision in May 2018.
Both men are eager to run it back for a third time — especially Lee.
"Although I am the king of the lightweight division, I feel like I have some unfinished business in the featherweight division still," the Singaporean offered.
"We could very well see another match-up [with Martin] for a second belt in early 2020 because I'm not going to leave that division without claiming the belt first."
Nguyen welcomes the contest, but only if his younger rival can drop to the necessary weight limit.
"I know he's coming off a good year, but personally, I don't think he can make the weight anymore. When I fought him, he was a kid, but now, he is a grown man," the Vietnamese-Australian explained.
"It's going to be much harder for him. I'm not saying he cannot do it – if given the appropriate time, I'm sure he can make the weight. If he can make weight, then it'll be good for me, as he can be a great challenge for me."
Marat Gafurov
Although a World Champion versus World Champion contest would be massive, the name that personally fires Nguyen up more than any other is Marat "Cobra" Gafurov.
"That bout against Gafurov is the one I am hungriest for. I want to settle the score and place the final nail in the coffin, as we've won one fight apiece," he stated.
"He fought me when I was a nobody, but then I took him down while he was a champion. Although he didn't feature much in 2019, I believe Gafurov is still the number one contender."
Gafurov, the previously-unbeaten ONE Featherweight World Champion, is the only man who has ever finished "The Situ-Asian." He submitted Nguyen via rear-naked choke in just 41 seconds back in September 2015.
The Vietnamese-Australian, however, stormed his way back into World Title contention with four consecutive first-round finishes and then, in August 2017, he knocked out the Dagestani to hand "Cobra" his first loss and claim the gold.
Despite that, Gafurov is still a threat to anybody on the mat, as he showed with a dominant grappling display over Tetsuya Yamada in his sole outing last year.
If the Dagestani beats the undefeated Iurie Lapicus at ONE: WARRIOR'S CODE on 7 February, then perhaps Nguyen will get his long-desired trilogy bout.

Posted by ONE Championship on Friday, January 10, 2020
Thanh Le has been the featherweight who has made the most waves in the past 12 months. In that time, he has scored three consecutive knockouts over elite opposition to rapidly climb the ladder.
The Vietnamese-American can finish with a variety of tools — just like the reigning World Champion — and might be the biggest stand-up threat to Nguyen's reign if they were to square off in the Circle.
Following his win over Ryogo Takahashi at ONE: A NEW TOMORROW in Bangkok, Thailand just days ago, Le said that he needed to keep taking out the rest of the top featherweights in order to earn his crack at the gold.
"I do what I'm doing – [I'll] beat the next guy, and the next guy, and the next guy, and when [the opportunity] comes, it comes, and I'm gonna take it," he asserted.
Although Le himself is in no rush to take on "The Situ-Asian," his performances may have fast-tracked him to World Title contention.
Li Kai Wen
There is a potential contender from the division above, but also, there is one from the division below, as "The Underdog" Li Kai Wen — who recently dropped to bantamweight — has the Vietnamese-Australian in his sights.
"I would like to stay at bantamweight for my next couple of fights, but Martin Nguyen and I still have to scrap and settle things," Li noted after his huge KO victory over Paul Lumihi at ONE: MASTERS OF FATE last November.
The two previously faced off in April 2016, when "The Situ-Asian" scored a first-round TKO over his Chinese adversary. But now, "The Underdog" is on a four-bout win streak all full of stoppages, and he has five wins in his last six contests.
Li has immense power in his hands, and he would undoubtedly stand toe-to-toe with Nguyen in what would be an extraordinary battle of big-hitters.
Xie Bin
Chinese phenom Xie Bin picks up his SIXTH straight win with a signature D'Arce choke at 2:27 of Round 2!

Posted by ONE Championship on Friday, April 12, 2019
One dark horse that could put himself in the running for a World Title challenge before 2020 comes to a close is "The Stalker" Xie Bin.
The Chinese submission specialist has won seven consecutive matches in The Home Of Martial Arts since 2016, and five of those have been finishes.
Xie has not tapped into the upper echelon of the featherweight division just yet, but he got the biggest win of his career over Team Lakay veteran Edward "The Ferocious" Kelly in his last outing, and he has the ability to spring a victory from out of nowhere.
The Tianjin resident's chokes are lethal, particularly his head-and-arm attacks, and he only needs the slightest gap to start setting them up. His winning streak cannot be ignored, and with one more notable name on his résumé, "The Stalker" could be the sleeper in the pack.

2017 IMF and World Bank Fall Meetings -Written Statement to the IMFC
The global economy is now growing at its fastest pace since 2010, with the upturn becoming increasingly synchronised across countries. This long awaited lift to global growth, facilitated by policy support, is being accompanied with solid employment gains and a recovery in trade growth following slumps in late 2015 and early 2016.

Making Dispute Resolution More Effective - MAP Peer Review Report, United States (Stage 1) - Inclusive Framework on BEPS: Action 14
Under Action 14, countries have committed to implement a minimum standard to strengthen the effectiveness and efficiency of the mutual agreement procedure (MAP). The MAP is included in Article 25 of the OECD Model Tax Convention and commits countries to endeavour to resolve disputes related to the interpretation and application of tax treaties. The Action 14 Minimum Standard has been translated into specific terms of reference and a methodology for the peer review and monitoring process. The minimum standard is complemented by a set of best practices.The peer review process is conducted in two stages. Stage 1 assesses countries against the terms of reference of the minimum standard according to an agreed schedule of review. Stage 2 focuses on monitoring the follow-up of any recommendations resulting from jurisdictions' stage 1 peer review report. This report reflects the outcome of the stage 1 peer review of the implementation of the Action 14 Minimum Standard by the United States, which is accompanied by a document addressing the implementation of best practices.

After enjoying extraordinary success in 2017, with an unprecedented haul of five trophies, Zinedine Zidane begins his third year in charge of Real Madrid with a trip to second-tier Numancia in the Copa del Rey on Thursday.
The match will mark the second anniversary of Zidane's appointment as Madrid coach as the successor to the sacked Rafael Benitez. The Frenchman has since gone on to win eight out of a possible 10 trophies from just 116 games in charge, a remarkable tally for someone who had never previously coached at the top level.
"Your appetite comes from eating. We are never tired of winning," Zidane said at a press conference on Wednesday.
After last season's Champions League and La Liga double triumph, Real have already won three trophies this season.
They followed their victories in the European and Spanish Super Cups at the start of the campaign by winning the Club World Cup in December to make it a record five trophies for the year.
However, the year ended with a 3-0 home defeat to Barcelona in the clasico, a result that left them fourth in La Liga, 14 points behind their great rivals at the summit, albeit with a game in hand.
The Copa del Rey is the one trophy Real have not won under Zidane, and they will be eager to avoid a slip-up when they go to the bitterly cold northern town of Soria to face Numancia in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
It is the start of what will be a hectic month, as long as Real continue to progress in the Cup, before they host Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League in February.
"I will try to finish the season as well as possible because we still have a great chance of winning things again," added Zidane, who is without Karim Benzema due to injury.
Meanwhile, Zidane was guarded on suggestions that the club would make a move for the Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in this month's transfer window.
"We have the possibility of signing players until January 31 so anything could happen.
Holders Barcelona also play on Thursday, travelling to Celta Vigo, who eliminated Real last season in the quarter-finals. The return matches will be played next midweek.


The study examined habitat utilization and prey selection by the kestrel Falco tinnunculus in an area of cultivated farmland in Italy, along with field estimates of small mammal abundance. Kestrel males were radiotagged and ranging behaviour and diet were recorded. Kestrels actively selected grasslands both during flight and perching hunting, and most predations were registered in this habitat. The occurrence of small mammals in the diet was significantly different from what was estimated from trapping, indicating that kestrels behaved as selective predators, since microtines were eaten in a greater proportion than their abundance. Microtus savii was preferred more than the common vole Microtus arvalis, whereas soricids were negatively selected. Nevertheless, common voles represented the main component of the kestrels' food niche. Reproductive success was correlated with small mammal availability. This study revealed that the high density of kestrels within the study area is supported by steady grassland management.

Q: Searchkick search without ActiveRecord models I have a classic Ruby on Rails application that has the ActiveRecord models and Searchkick to create a search index. I want to create a second API Ruby on Rails application, without models, so that I can search through the Opensearch/Elasticsearch index without having ActiveRecord.
Can I use Searchkick, without database models, getting data from the search index?
I would be grateful if you could show examples. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Ok, for those of you who love kitchen gadgets, here's a cool one. William Bounds has come up with an electric pepper grinder that looks cool and automatically grinds the pepper for you...or salt for that matter. The other week, the really kind folks at William Bounds sent me the SharpShooter Battery Operated Pepper Mill to try out and review. William Bounds Ltd. is a well known mill company that offers a variety of pepper, salt, or spice mills as well as other products. Besides offering spice mills, they also make silicone kitchen tools, serveware, barware and gourmet ingredients. But for this review, I tested the SharpShooter Pepper Mill , in the color red.
The SharpShooter is an electric mill that grinds either pepper or salt. So, you can use either one...or have two, one for salt and the other for pepper. Its sleek and stylish body has a clear compartment on top that showcases your peppercorns or sea salt. The soft ergonomic handle ensures that it doesn't slip from your hands and makes for easy handling. It comes in either black or red. The mill has a durable ceramic milling mechanism that doesn't rust. It is fully operated by 6 AAA batteries and is very easy to refill. The SharpShooter is activated by tilting the mill upside down and letting gravity do its job. The mill starts grinding as you tilt it and stops when you return it upright. It uses a single-handed Gravity-Sense operation which frees you from grinding with two hands. Just a simple flip of the wrist and you have freshly ground pepper or salt. Now, that's pretty cool!
I tested the the SharpShooter for basic seasoning. I used it to season salads. It worked like a charm and did the job. I noticed that you really have to tilt it more than 90 degrees to get the grinder working, bring it upright and the grinder stops.
I also needed to season some chicken breasts on both sides. This is where the SharpShooter came in really handy. I was able to turn the chicken breasts with one hand while I seasoned both sides of the chicken with the SharpShooter. I didn't have to get the grinder dirty and I could season all the the chicken quickly. I didn't need to stop and grind, stop and grind...it was efficient.
I then needed to season some potatoes for a scalloped dish. I was able to mix the potatoes with one hand, while I seasoned with the other. I think that's what 's neat about the SharpShooter. It allows you to grind fresh pepper single-handed.
I really liked the SharpShooter for its ability to grind pepper or salt with just the flip of a wrist. It looks stylish and most of all its fun to use. It provides fresh flavor and spices up any of your meals. "Would you like some fresh pepper on that?"
Yup. they have almost every kind of salt and pepper grindrs on amazon.
For whole peppers I use a coffee grinder. they work great.

SW4 SELECTS #5 DJ SEMTEX
Welcome back to our South West Four 2019 'SW4 Selects' series, where we will be featuring the artists who will be joining us on Clapham Common this August Bank Holiday weekend. We will be asking them questions all around their performance and what they have in store for you this summer at SW4.
In #5 we have the incredible DJ Semtex, who will be joining us this year at SW4 for his debut performance inside the Capital Xtra stage on Day Two. We caught up with DJ Semtex, and he has provided some key insight into what we can expect from his performance. Read below...
Hi DJ Semtex, where in the world are you currently and what was the last gig that you played?
Currently in the UK, just played on the mainstage at Wireless Festival which was an incredible experience.
You've interviewed some of the biggest names in Hip Hop/Grime and Garage worldwide, how has it been over the years speaking and getting an insight with these names?
As a fan I'm privileged to be able to witness history being made first hand. I feel like it's a duty to document the culture the right way. Every interview is important and conducted with the utmost sincerity and integrity.
What has been the most memorable interview you have ever conducted, do any stand out especially, for good or bad reasons?
The 'More Life' interview with Drake is the biggest and most memorable. In 2009 Drake was making a name for himself on the blogs and mixtape circuit, and I was playing his earlier material on my radio show. I heard he was coming to the UK to record, so I reached out to his team to arrange an interview. We recorded it in Hyde Park, and it was classic moment that went viral. 7 years later on thje first date of his UK tour he reached out to me via DM and said "Really want to do an interview with you while I'm out here. Feel like it could be a good full circle moment". We did it and it broke the internet. It was a world exclusive that was getting played on radio stations across the globe, different parts of the interview were mentioned on every news channel, and it put me in a very different position.
You're a trusted source when it comes to finding the next big thing, so who should we be looking out for over the next year?
Drill started in Chicago, over here we put our own spin on it with UK Drill which has in turn influenced Spanish Drill, Netherlands, Drill, and Australian Drill. What's crazy is that we have also influenced New York Drill and Pop Smoke will be the first artist that you hear about with that sound in the US. I don't think that scene or those artists categorize themselves as New York Drill, but the influence has gone full circle.
Also, watch out for SimxSantana, and YBN Cordae from the US. From the UK it's all about SD Muni, Tunde, and Abigail and Vanessa. Rema is the future, he is an incredible singer/songwriter from Nigeria produced by the legend Don Jazzy. Guilty Beatz is a DJ / Producer from Ghana, who is about to take his sound worldwide.
You're joining us at South West Four this year, do you have any big surprises planned?
Definitely, I'm gonna be bringing some friends with me.
Capital Xtra has its very own stage at SW4 this year, how exciting is it to stand amongst such an impressive line-up, is it ever intimidating?
I'm never intimidated. Capital Xtra is my family, and it's dope to be performing alongside legends and hottest new DJs coming through.
Are you going to have time to watch any of the festival this year? Who are you most excited to see on the bill?
I'm going to try to watch as much as possible, I've got a lot of friends on the line up such as Chip, Ms Banks, Ms Dynamite, and Chase and Status. But I want to catch DaBaby's set.
You've travelled all over the world now, but what makes the crowds in the UK special?
They have different level of energy, they are the crowd that keeps giving.
What do you prefer, radio DJing or live shows? Or both?
Both. They are very different activities from each other. I love being on stage and moving the crowd, and I also love hosting my live show on Capital Xtra, every Friday from 9pm.
Finally, with not long until SW4 weekend now, can you give us any exclusive hints as to what we should expect from your set?
I can't snitch on myself and reveal what I have lined up, but just know that I'm going to shut it down differently, I'm gonna give the crowd exactly what they want and more...

After work yesterday, I grabbed a few bags of candy from the grocery store and set out a little display for any trick-or-treaters that may come by our new apartment. I've never lived on the first floor before, so I thought we may get some kiddos coming by and I wouldn't be home to give them candy!
Going on the honor-system, I put out the candy bucket, a few decorations and a "Don't be a Goblin, just take one or two" sign. A lot of the candy was gone when I got home, but no one dumped the entire bucket, so I'd say it's a success!
As trick-or-treating began, I headed over to my nanny-girls' house to do some picture-taking and trick-or-treating with them. I'm so thankful I can still go play with the girls, even though I'm not their nanny anymore! [K] had some friends over, so I got to hang out with a neon cat, Ana from Frozen, zombie cheerleader and a peacock all night!
Since [K] had her friends, I walked around with little [P], or Ana most of the time (and accidentally called her "Elsa," more than once. Oops!) I love that a lot of kids are still using the "old school" orange Halloween buckets. They look so cute!
Even the pets got into the Halloween spirit last night. Millie was a caterpillar and we also had a minion trick-or-treating with us!
[P] was such a grown girl, walking up to houses all by herself.
, I don't even think we could get her to say "Trick-or-Treat!" She did have to have us hold her hands a few times at the "spooky" decorated houses.
Of course, the girls got lots and lots of candy and they had to throw it all on the table to see what they got. A bit too many pieces were probably consumed, but that's what Halloween night is all about, right?
Hope your Halloween night was as fun as mine.
Who's still dressing up tonight? I'm on a costume-search now!

Bursting at the Seams: the Geyser Basin of Enceladus
Source: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute
Dramatic plumes, both large and small, spray water ice and vapor from many locations along the famed "tiger stripes" near the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus. The tiger stripes are four prominent, approximately 84-mile- (135-kilometer-) long fractures that cross the moon's south polar terrain.
This two-image mosaic is one of the highest resolution views acquired by Cassini during its imaging survey of the geyser basin capping the southern hemisphere of Saturn's moon Enceladus. It clearly shows the curvilinear arrangement of geysers, erupting from the fractures. .From left to right, the fractures are Alexandria, Cairo, Baghdad, and Damascus.
As a result of this survey, 101 geysers were discovered: 100 have been located on one of the tiger stripes (PIA17188), and the three-dimensional configurations of 98 of these geysers have also been determined (PIA17186). The source location of the remaining geyser could not be definitively established. These results, together with those of other Cassini instruments, now strongly suggest that the geysers have their origins in the sea known to exist beneath the ice underlying the south polar terrain.
These findings from the imaging survey, of which the two images composing this mosaic are a part, were presented in a paper by Porco, DiNino, and Nimmo and published in the online version of the Astronomical Journal in July 2014: http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0004-6256/148/3/45.

West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Mark Burns-Williamson spent time at a jail on Thursday as he visited Leeds Prison to see how money from his Safer Communities Fund is being spent.
Money from the Safer Communities Fund has helped to support the charity, Tempus Novo, which aims to create sustainable employment opportunities for repeat offenders.
When inside the prison the Police and Crime Commissioner spoke to two inmates who are due for release soon and have had employment opportunities identified for them when they are let out.
He also visited the Leeds headquarters of Winder Power Ltd, the leading UK manufacturer of power and distribution transformers. Winder Power works closely with the charity in supporting their efforts to create sustainable employment opportunities for ex-offenders.
Speaking during his visit, Mark Burns-Williamson, said; "Employment plays a huge role in the rehabilitation of offenders and it reduces the risk of reoffending by 50%.
"Without the continued support of companies like Winder Power we wouldn't be able to help these people who are looking for a way out of a life of crime. I was delighted to visit the company - they are a big employer in the local area and are further strengthening the local Pudsey community through their work with Tempus Novo.
"Tempus Novo do a great job in the community and with offenders, I was happy to award them a grant of £5,250 to help them in their work of funding positive life opportunities for ex-offenders.
"I have helped to fund their excellent work through the Safer Communities Fund which gives grants to voluntary, community groups and charities and other partners to make their communities safer and feel safer in line with my Police and Crime Plan.
"Money for the fund comes from the ill-gotten gains recovered by West Yorkshire Police and prosecutors under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) although at the moment around half of everything seized goes back directly to the Government. With more money I could help to make an even greater difference for our communities and policing and will continue the campaign to persuade the Government to allow all POCA funding to be returned locally.
"Tempus Novo are so grateful to Mark Burns-Williamson and the safer communities team for their support. We are proud to have the Police and Crime Commissioner endorsing our work and have a strong partnership with the Integrated Offender Management team at HMP Leeds."
Commenting on the Commissioner's visit, Group Managing Director of Winder Power Limited, and trustee of the Tempus Novo Charity, Laurence MacKenzie said, "We were delighted to welcome the Police and Crime Commissioner to our factory to mark our continued support for the Tempus Novo Charity. We at Winder are passionate about the rehabilitation of ex-offenders and we're delighted to be involved with such a rewarding charity. We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with Tempus Novo and to playing our part in giving people a second chance."

Australia to purchase second Triton aircraft
Northrop Grumman welcomes the announcement last month by the Australian Government to purchase a second MQ-4C Triton aircraft.
Australia's 2016 Defence White Paper identified the requirement for seven high altitude, long endurance Triton unmanned aircraft. Northrop Grumman will deliver the Triton through a cooperative program with the United States Navy.
"Northrop Grumman is excited to develop this unrivaled capability for the Royal Australian Air Force," said Doug Shaffer, vice president and program manager, Triton programs, Northrop Grumman. "Triton will provide the Australian Defence Force a high-altitude, long-endurance system for intelligence, reconnaissance and broad area surveillance missions to enhance the security of Australia's borders."
Minister for Defence Christopher Pyne identified "people smuggling and the exploitation of our natural resources" as threats which Triton's capabilities can help to address.
Minister for Defence Industry Linda Reynolds identified the opportunities this program will create for Australian industry and said that "there will be significant opportunity for Australian industry to share in billions of dollars of system maintenance and network management functions."
Northrop Grumman is committed to developing a sovereign defence capability for Australia through industrial partnership and participation, direct investment and technology transfer.
"We are proud of our partnership with the Australian Government and Australian industry, which we exemplified in the recent signing of the Australian Industry Capability Deed with the Minister for Defence Industry at the Avalon Airshow," said Chris Deeble, country executive, Northrop Grumman Australia. "To date we have partnered with several Australian entities to assist in the production and sustainment of the Triton unmanned aircraft system in Australia. Initiatives like this ensure local companies benefit from the investment in Australia's security, and we take great pride in contributing to this."

Weather avoidance is part and parcel of an airline pilot's standard task list. From the Mark One Eyeball to the Rockwell Collins WXR-2100 Weather Radar there are various tools available to assist in this task; all of which leverage the training and experience an airline pilot brings to the flight deck. But my last trip illustrates the changes we've seen over the past few years in weather avoidance becoming a wider task that just the pilots on the flight deck, so I thought I'd share it here.
On a recent trip Sydney to Los Angeles I returned from crew rest towards the middle of the flight (halfway between Fiji and Honolulu) to be advised by the outgoing crew that we'd received the following message over ACARS (basically a text message via satellite) warning of some weather enroute. This came to us through our CPDLC (Controller to Pilot Datalink Connection), part of the FANS initiative (Future Air Navigation System) that was so new not that many years ago, but is now nom de guerre in today's flight decks. How's that for a series of aviation acronyms?
At 0721 UTC time, this message is from ATC (UPLINK) to flight VOZ #1. KZAK (San Francisco Oceanic Control) advising us that a significant meteorological advice (SIGMET) has been raised since our departure, based on satellite (SAT) and lightning (LTG) observation (OBS). This weather warning refers to Cumulonimbus cloud (CB) which typically means thunderstorms (TS) with associated turbulence, lightning and rain in this part of world (near the Equator, over the Pacific Ocean). Latitude/Longitude waypoints are given that describe an area in which the weather was observed to be. The weather is stationary (STNR) and intensifying (INTSF), and the tops of the CB clouds are up to 57,000 ft (well about our cruising altitude).
I asked how we could check our route proximity to this observed weather given that it was nearly a thousand miles in front of us, intensifying and probably in our path given that ATC had sent it to us directly. My trainee's answer was the route plotting chart, and when we got it out we found the previous crew had thoughtfully already plotted it for us. It showed our approximate route cutting through the corner of the proscribed area. Time to push for some FMC knowledge.
I asked how we could program the co-ordinates into the Flight Management Computer (FMC) to display the area on our Navigation Display (ND). Eventually (we) worked out there were three ways.
Firstly the four waypoints could be created as Fix Page entries (which display as green circles) and we could draw lines out of them between the waypoints. I've played with this in the past, but it's a pretty cumbersome solution, requiring you to work out bearings between these points, the lines of which continue out into space until you have this Salvador Dali like drawing on your ND.
Another solution is to enter the waypoint concerned into the LEGS page of the FMC. While typically modification of the active flight plan is verbotten unless it's in accordance with an ATC clearance, you can insert additional waypoints into the FMC after the end of the active flight plan. These waypoints don't affect time/fuel predictions because they are after the route destination (KLAX) and the FMC doesn't consider them relevant to these calculations. It's a good idea before you confirm-execute this (as is required of all modifications to the active route) that you check fuel predictions aren't affected. This route modification shows on both pilot's NDs and provides a very clear picture about an area of concern, whether it be weather, volcanic ash, or something else.
They aren't uplinked to ATC unless you fly over KLAX at the end of the flight with the waypoints still there, but they display on the ND quite clearly. To provided additional demarcation you can insert a route discontinuity into the LEGS page to highlight the point at which our plan ends and our playing around begins.
Some instructors/pilots do not like this technique because of these potential risks. There's really no genuine need to do this in any case, it's as much an exercise in increasing FMC awareness when you have a plotting chart to work with – but it's a useful tool in the toolbox in any case. I'm ambivalent about it, but that's probably because I have yet to stuff up when using it (no doubt my time is coming …).
So my young Padawan (no I did NOT say that) is there another way?
The other method involves using the inactive route feature of the FMC. Our FMC has the ability to store two complete routes. By convention we cruise along in "Route 1" (active), and as such "Route 2" (inactive) can be used for contingency planing (diversions, terrain escape routes, etc). But most often it remains unused, and when we arrive at destination it holds a complete copy of the route flown, copied during the pre-flight and not referred to again.
We built the four waypoints using the provided Latitudes and Longitudes into the FMC, and looked at the ND. Because Route is not the active route, the header ("RTE 2 LEGS") on the FMC is in Cyan (blue) and the route displays in blue on the ND. Additionally the display on the ND is only on the side of the aircraft on which the FMC is being used to show active route. So if I'm looking at the inactive route on the FMC, I see the inactive route on the ND – but the other pilot will not. This is certainly an acceptable, workable compromise.
Our efforts were quite successful and as we drew closer to the weather and the weather radar was able to paint the cells more clearly, it became apparent what ATC had seen on satelite imagery. By the time we got there it was definitely INTSF but not so much STNR as it was moving south across our track.
We ended up deviating initially right and then left of track to avoid the weather, encountering only light turbulence which marks this as a successful weather encounter in my book. The following series of images give you an idea of how we do our job. Note that during some of the shots below I was playing with the variable gain on the weather radar (VAR) which tends to over-highlight, but can fill in some of the areas between weather.

Maybe we're all being too hard on Garth Brooks. Todd Snider thinks so. After reading his story about him, maybe you'll agree. There have certainly been an increasing number of open letters to Garth in the last couple of years. Like it or not, there's a lot of hope wrapped up in him and what his return might mean.

I'm sure there's something to the upcoming whiskeypocalypse, but when smaller distillers are the ones telling you to hoard bourbon, I find it a little suspect. I only say this because I can still get limes for my tacos.
Juan Cirerol. I have no idea how I was so late to the game on this guy. Juan does his thing so well it looks easy and makes you wonder why someone wasn't doing it before. His mix of norteño and American folk is genius. Mixing the plonky guitar rhythms of the two neighboring countries into Cirerol has found a style that simultaneously feels new and familiar to sing his songs of druggy misadventure. Even without speaking Spanish his playful smartassedness comes through his delivery, finding a satisfying middle ground between Chalino Sanchez and Bob Dylan.
I'm not one for clear liquors or sweet drinks. Imagine my surprise when my wife made mojitos with a bottle of the nice rum my in-laws brought from their home in Puerto Rico. I'm sure it breaks all the rules, but she combines a 1/4 cup of simple syrup that she's chilled in the fridge, then muddles exactly 11 mint leaves (she's very serious about this number) with a pinch of sugar in the glass. Then she adds the simple syrup, fills the glass with ice, adds a 1/4 cup of white rum and the juice of one lime, stirs and tops it off with club soda. Like I said, this is the opposite of what I'd normally drink and I loved it. It's great in the 90 degree evenings we've been having.
