Hello there and welcome to Mondays edition of the Levy Letter. I hope you enjoyed your weekend. I must say that the past few weekends have been really nice weather wise, I hope you took advantage of the sunshine! Did you manage to get down to Hull Fair before it packed up for this year? I must say sometimes it is just nice to go down and have a hot dog and enjoy the atmosphere rather than go on all the rides.
Weekend Telly As usual it was the battle of the reality heavyweights this weekend with singers and dancers all competing for survival in Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor. This weekend both male and female dancers were competing to stay in the competition. However one team must go and it was Heather Small and Don Warrington and their respective partners who found themselves in the dance off. Unfortunately it was Don and Lillia who lost the final judges vote. Every year local dance schools report a surge in people taking up classes because of Strictly Come Dancing. Have you started taking up Salsa? Id love to hear from you and any stories of two left feet you may have! The X Factor contestants this week had to perform Michael Jackson songs and unluckily for Louis Walsh another one of his bands ended up in the bottom two along with Ruth Lorenzo. Girlband left the competition as the judges could not come to a unanimous decision and they received the least amount of public votes. Who do you think will win? I thought Ruths rendition of Princes Purple Rain was brilliant and really showed her vocal range, so lets hope she will stay in next week! Be Prepared The Scouts Association is to start offering its members sexual health and relationship advice. It will be geared mainly towards 14 to 18 year olds and leaders will be advised to discuss contraception and encourage the resisting of peer pressure to have sex. Chief Scout Peter Duncan said: "We must be realistic and accept that around a third of young people are sexually active before 16." Scout groups can also organise trips to sexual health clinics and give details of other helpful agencies. Id love to hear your thoughts on this. Would you be happy for your children to learn about sexual health at scouts? Let me know by emailing me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stayin Alive Now what do you think to this one. Apparently listening to the Bee Gees can help save lives. US medics have found the Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive is an ideal beat to follow to perform chest compressions on a victim of a cardiac arrest. When performed properly CPR could triple survival rates. The University of Illinois College of Medicine saw a group of 15 doctors and students performing CPR on mannequins while listening to Stayin' Alive. They were asked to time their chest compressions with the beat. Five weeks later, they did the same but without the music, and were told to think of the song while doing the compressions. Well there you go, something to mention if you are on a First Aid course! Well that is all from me today. I hope you will join me tonight for Look North at 6.30pm on BBC One.
