But a devastating year – both personally and professionally – culminated when she failed to defend her Olympic crown with a surprising defeat at Rio 2016. Katie, is an intimate take on the boxer’s efforts to rebuild her career and her life following that disappointment. Director Ross Whitaker (Unbreakable: The Mark Pollock Story, Between Land and Sea) gains unprecedented access to the ultra-private Taylor as she turns professional and tries to win a world title again.

Educogym in Wicklow

about educogym Why join a gym?

People join gyms to get results. However, despite the fact that more people are exercising and going on diets than ever before, we are still getting fatter.Two out of every three people are now over-weight and this is expected to rise to three out of four in the next few years.

Most gyms operate like an equipment rental business in a warehouse type establishment. But what happens when you arrive? Most members get little or no results and up to 90% stop attending regularly after a short period. None of the essential elements to succeed are present.

20

IN WICKLOW OCTOBER NOVEMBER 2018

This leads us to a simple conclusion… IT’S NOT WORKING!

The Formula for success Rather than trying to change a failed system, we started with what gets results.

Then we built a unique gym with the necessary elements to succeed around that. To succeed, first you need a proven scientific system that offers a solution to the health and shape problems facing us. Then we needed to ensure that the average person can benefit from this system by having the necessary motivation, support, expertise and equipment. We consider this support essential to achieving results.

Proven Scientific System + Essential Support = RESULTS!

Whether its fat loss, muscle gain, toning, sculpting, energy, health, rejuvenation or well being, now you truly have the solution in your hands. No more wasted effort, money and will power. No more guessing.

Just follow the formula for success

Results

Studies have shown that there are three vital elements needed to produce real results. Educogym® has created a system that teaches you how to use more of your mind combined with the optimal training and nutrition to produce incredible results.

(EWI):

External Wall Insulation (EWI) is a composite cladding system comprised of suitable insulation and waterproof coating which is applied to all the external walls of a building. The application of EWI reduces heating bills, and consequently, carbon emissions also. External Wall Insulation (EWI) is the most efficient way to insulate an existing building.

It uses the fabric of the building like a storage radiator. Because the heat can no longer escape through the outer layer of insulation, it is reflected back into the living areas, creating a constant warm home. That’s why Polar Bears have their insulation on the outside!

With up to 40% heat lost through external walls, EWI can help reduce your heating bills by up to 40%. It can also reduce your carbon footprint by cutting your CO2 emissions by up to 2.5 tonnes per year.

Your guide to the biggest Music events & Gigs in Wicklow Def Leppard

Snow Patrol

Gig Guide Walking With Dinosaurs

Tickets: €65.50 / Doors: 6.30pm Date: 1st December 2018 / Dublin 3 Arena

Tickets: from €69.50 / Doors: 6.30pm Date: 11th December 2018 / Dublin 3 Arena

Tickets: €38.50, €45.00, €50+/Doors: 6.30pm Date: 21st–23rd Dec 18/Dublin 3 Arena

These will be the first Def Leppard UK and Eire tour dates since the sold-out Arena run in late 2015. As a cornerstone of rock and roll’s history, Def Leppard’s substantial career includes numerous hit singles including their first early chart hit “Wasted” -- to their radio and MTV staples “Bringin’ On The Heartbreak”, “Photograph”, “Rock of Ages”, “Too Late”, “Animal”, “Armageddon It”, “Love Bites”, “Rocket” and “Let’s Get Rocked.” Their ground-breaking multi-platinum albums—including two of the best-selling albums of all time with sales of more than 10 million copies each in the U.S. alone Pyromania and Hysteria, captured some of the group’s legendary tracks, bringing together classic Leppard hits such as “Pour Some Sugar on Me”, “Hysteria” and “Foolin’.” The group continued their success expanding into the world of film, covers, and new collaborations including “Two Steps Behind” from the film Last Action Hero, “No Matter What”, “Waterloo Sunset”, and “Nine Lives” with Tim McGraw as well as Def Leppard hits “When Love and Hate Collide”, “Slang”, “Work It Out”, “Promises” and “Now.” Finally, all of Def Leppard’s awe-inspiring music is available to everyone, around the world from the band’s eponymous debut EP through to their most recent album.

Since their 1998 debut, Songs for Polarbears, Snow Patrol has racked up an impressive number of critical and commercial accolades, including 15 million global album sales, 1+ billion global track streams, five UK Platinum Albums, and are Grammy, BRIT Award and Mercury Music Prize nominated. After their Fallen Empires tour ended in 2012, band members —which also include multi-instrumentalist Johnny McDaid, guitarist Nathan Connolly, bassist Paul Wilson, and drummer Jonny Quinn — decided to take a step back from the band, and focus on their own projects. Gary Lightbody continued his work with his Tired Pony side project with members of Belle and Sebastian, R.E.M, Reindeer Section and Fresh Young Fellows and moved to Los Angeles to begin writing songs for movies (including “This Is How You Walk On” for 2017’s Gifted), and doing a number of high-profile co-writes with Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Biffy Clyro, and One Direction. Taking this extended break from Snow Patrol proved to be a source of inspiration, and writing songs that were not pulled directly from his own psyche helped heal what Lightbody considered to be not so much writer’s block as life block.

The $20 million production features new, state of the art technology, underlining its position as the biggest and best dinosaur show in the world. Nine species are represented from the entire 200 million year reign of the dinosaurs. The show includes the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the terror of the ancient terrain, as well as the Plateosaurus and Liliensternus from the Triassic period, the Stegosaurus and Allosaurus from the Jurassic period and Torosaurus and Utahraptor from the awesome Cretaceous period. The largest of them, the Brachiosaurus, is 11 metres tall and 17 metres from nose to tail. It took a team of 50 including engineers, fabricators, skin makers, artists painters, and animatronic experts - a year to build the production.

The history of the world is played out with the splitting of the earth’s continents, and the transition from the arid desert of the Triassic period is given over to the lush green prairies and forces of the later Jurassic. Oceans form, volcanoes erupt, a forest catches fire -- all leading to the impact of the massive comet, which struck the earth, and forced the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Andre Rieu

(And his Johann Strauss Orchestra) Tickets: €56.00 - €126.00 / Doors: 6.30pm Date: 7th & 8th December 2018 / Dublin 3 Arena André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra will end the year again with their eagerly awaited Christmas Tour in the UK and Ireland, starting in Belfast on 6th December and ending in Glasgow on 22nd December. The Fans can expect wonderful Christmas carols, romantic waltzes, lovely tunes from opera, film and musical and of course André’s favorite melodies of all times.

It is an entertaining and fantastic program full of laughter, dance and romance, presented by the “King of the Waltz” and his sixty-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra, chorus and many soloists.

With more than 40 mio albums sold, 600.000 concert goers yearly and 3 Classical Brit Awards, André Rieu is one of the most successful touring artists of our time. A true “Maestro of the Masses”.

Right now in July André Rieu plays his fantastic open air concerts in his hometown Maastricht in the Netherlands.

The World Tour 2018 continues in September with concerts in the USA and Canada, followed by concerts in Argentina, Australia and finally in the UK and Ireland.

Josh Groban

Tickets: €69.50 / Doors: 6.30pm Date: 16th December 2018 / Dublin 3 Arena Possessing one of the most outstanding and instantly recognizable voices in music, GRAMMY nominated singer, songwriter, and actor Josh Groban has entertained fans across the globe with his multi-platinum albums and DVDs (over 30 million sold worldwide), electrifying live performances, and comedic film and television appearances.

The 36-year-old Los Angeles native is the only artist who has had two albums appear on the Top 20 Best-Selling Albums list of the past decade, according to Billboard. He has appeared in the feature films Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Hollars, Coffee Town, and Muppets Most Wanted, as well as on NBC’s The Office, FX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and CBS’ The Crazy Ones. Groban has released seven studio albums, his 2001 self-titled 5x-platinum debut, 2003’s 6x-platinum Closer, 2006’s double-platinum Awake, 2007’s 6x platinum Grammy-nominated Noel, 2010’s gold-certified Illuminations, and 2013’s gold-certified All That Echoes, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, giving Groban his first No. 1 debut and third chart-topper. Currently, Groban is filming the new Netflix series, The Good Cop, starring opposite Tony Danza, and working on his eighth studio album due out later this year.

GIGS

Boyzone

Tickets: €44.05-€76.00 Doors: 6.30pm Date: 24th January 2019 / Dublin 3 Arena.

Quote from Ronan, Keith, Mikey and Shane: “When we started out as five young Dublin Northsiders, eager to face the world, we never imagined that we’d still have an army of fans some twenty-five years later... If you’d seen our famous first TV appearance on The Late Late Show, you’d probably be surprised too! But what followed was the stuff of dreams. We’ve played stadiums and arenas all over the world, released six albums, and had almost two-dozen hits. We really can’t put into words just how much you, the fans, have supported us along the way. Without that support, we would have never achieved what we have, and for that we’re eternally grateful.

We’ve had some tough times too. The loss of Stephen left scars that we will carry as a band forever. We were immensely touched by all the tributes and messages of support that helped us through the dark days. Stephen was our brother and will always be at the very the heart of Boyzone. Twenty-five years is a long time. We’re certainly not boys anymore, and we all feel that we should now call time on our lives together as Boyzone and go out on a real high. This November we will be releasing our final album, ‘Thank You & Goodnight’. We’ve recorded twelve brand new tracks that we hope you’ll enjoy listening to as much as we’ve enjoyed making them.

Tyres Tyres are your car’s first and only point of contact with the road surface, so the importance of regular upkeep and maintenance cannot be over stressed.

Knowing when to replace your tyres is imperative but understanding the impact of incorrect wheel alignment and inflation and the benefit of tyre rotation will go a long way towards extending the life of your tyres.

When should a car owner consider replacing their tyres?

The legal limit for tyre tread in Ireland is 1.6mm. Every tyre has small rubber indicators inside the tread grooves, to indicate the 1.60mm limit. Once your tread is worn level with the symbol, it is time to replace them. A trained tyre technician will be able to check your tyre for ageing signs, sidewall damage or any other common fault.

What is wheel alignment and why is it so important?

Wheel alignment (also called tracking) is a suspension adjustment, which sets the angle of wheels to the manufacturers recommended spec-

ifications. The main benefits of the wheel alignment are: Extended tyre life, improved fuel economy, better and safer handling of the car. It is a wear and tear item, so checking it twice a year is recommended. Usually, the check is free, and the charge applies only if the wheel alignment is off.

What is tyre rotation and when should a car owner consider having it carried out?

Tyre rotation is moving the tyres from the front to the rear, or the other way

around. With the front axle drive cars, tyres on the front are wearing faster than the rear ones. It is recommended to move them to the rear once the tyres are halfway worn or 12 months after getting them fitted – whichever comes first. This will extend the tyre life. The same procedure is recommended for rear wheel drive cars. The only difference here is that the rear tyres are wearing faster than the front.

How should a driver react if they experience a blowout while driving?

If a sudden tyre collapse occurs, the first thing is to stay calm, if possible.

A tyre blowout will impact the way the car handles and might lead to a loss of stability. Best practice is to try to regain control of the car and slowly pull over to a safe spot.

It is recommended to avoid slamming the brakes or swerving the car off the road. After all, it is only 25% of rubber contact that is lost, so keep two hands on the wheel and gradually reduce the speed.

F1 Sao Paolo Brazil Sunday 11th November 2018 Like many pre-World War II tracks, Interlagos features banked corners, with the drivers beginning their lap on a sort of half oval – in fact, between 1957 and the track’s return to the F1 calendar in 1990, Interlagos could be run as a giant oval. After wiggling through the Senna S and down to Turn 4, the drivers then go through a snaking in-field section with some challenging camber changes, before slinging back up the hill and through the banked final turn.
