Influential Scottish bagpiper awarded BEM in Glasgow
Christopher Armstrong was awarded the medal in honour of his services to music, particularly his significant contribution to the piping world. The award was presented at a ceremony at Glasgow's City Chambers by Depute Lord Lieutenant Rajan Madhok, on behalf of King Charles III. He was joined at the ceremony by his partner Emma, daughter Piper, his parents, and his sister. Read more: University of Glasgow to stage cosmic-inspired Scottish country dance Chris said: "I am truly humbled to be recognised in this way and delighted to be receiving this award." The accolade acknowledges the piper's nearly 40-year career as a celebrated performer, composer, teacher, pipe major, and key player in the evolution of bagpipe music. Chris, originally from Boghall in Bathgate, first became captivated by the sound of the pipes at a local gala day. He said: "From as early as five, I knew this was what I wanted to do. "The spectacle of seeing the pipe band playing at the local gala day really captivated me." His musical journey began a year later when he first picked up the practice chanter, a step that would eventually lead him to become a major figure in the piping world. His accolades include winning the Highland Society of London's gold medal and leading the ScottishPower pipe band, which he has directed for 20 years. His solo achievements include the Bratach Gorm and placings at the Pipe Major Donald MacLeod memorial competition, and the J.B. Robertson Rose Bowl, among others. However, Chris's contribution to music extends beyond his personal accolades. He has also helped to redefine modern piping by blending global genres, embracing technology, and publishing compositions that have reached musicians worldwide. His influence extends beyond Scotland, having delivered workshops across Europe, the United States, New Zealand, and Northern Ireland. His entrepreneurial ventures, including the launch of Xtreme drone reeds and collaborations with leading bagpipe makers, have created new standards for sustainability and innovation in instrument design. Depute Lord Lieutenant Rajan Madhok said: "Chris is a true ambassador for Glasgow and Scotland. "His passion, creativity, and commitment to excellence have elevated piping on the world stage. "He's not only preserved a tradition, but he's transformed it. "This honour is richly deserved."

Hero Xtreme 125R long term review
Model: Hero Xtreme 125R ABSTest Started: April 2025/5124kmTenure: 6 monthsMileage this month: NA Efficiency this month: NA Firsts are always special, especially when you love what you do. So when I was handed over the keys of the Hero Xtreme 125R, my elation knew no bounds. In that moment, I knew that this motorcycle would occupy a unique spot in my heart, but that is when I reminded myself that as an automobile journalist, I have to be nonpartisan in my reviews. So let's start with the most objective part, the info. The Xtreme 125R is the entry-level model of the Xtreme family that includes the Xtreme 160R, Xtreme 160R 4V and the recently launched Xtreme 250R. It is powered by a 124.7cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 11.4bhp and 10.5Nm. Our Xtreme is in the Firestorm Red colour, which, in my opinion, is better looking than the Cobalt Blue and Stallion Black. The Xtreme's negative LCD instrument displays plenty of information, but struggles in direct sunlight. Talking about looks, I would describe the Xtreme in one word, 'polarising'. People's opinions on it are either 'this bike looks so cool' or 'it looks so weird', but one thing is certain: they notice it and ask the name of the motorcycle. I agree with the 'looks cool' crowd, as in my books, the Xtreme punches above its weight on the design front. Thanks to its split LED headlamps, muscular fuel tank and sporty muffler, it looks like a much more powerful motorcycle, and that might be done on purpose, considering the target audience is the younger audience who wants a good-looking vehicle on a tight budget. The Xtreme will be with us for the next six months, and we will tell you about every single aspect of the motorcycle, performance, handling, comfort and fuel efficiency, in detail.

Mote Marine Laboratory sees a 70% kill rate during mitigation field testing
The Brief Two products developed by the Florida Red Tide Mitigation and Technology Development Initiative called Clear and Xtreme were launched by Mote Marine Laboratory. The products produced a 70% kill rate of the red tide in two Venice canals, inspiring optimism from scientists. Scientists say they need to take this success and test the kill rates of more red tides in canals and waterways in Venice and the state. VENICE, Fla. - Dead fish floated along two canals in Venice as toxins from red tide kept residents inside. "One of the most impactful things was standing on the seawalls with the residents right next to where we were deploying," said Kevin Claridge, Mote Marine Laboratory's vice president for Sponsored Research and Coastal Policy Programs. READ: Florida Wingstop manager throws hot grease, ranch dressing at customers during argument The backstory After about five years of research, non-stop testing and finally receiving regulatory approval, Mote Marine Laboratory deployed two products from the Florida Red Tide Mitigation and Technology Development Initiative. "Many of them were saying it was unbearable to be out and just sit on their patio and enjoy the nice day they were having because of the red tide," said Claridge. The products, called Clear and Xtreme, were developed by Mote Scientists Dr. Dana Wetzel, Dr. Richard Pierce and the Heartland Energy Group before being used in the canals.

We devised a special deployment mechanism in partnership with a company that does oil spill and hazard waste cleanup," said Claridge. Dig deeper Testing started immediately, and the results were exciting. "A 70% kill rate of the Karenia brevis. That's a win for us. I think it's a pretty good suppression of Karenia. You won't completely knock it out of the water column, and we don't want to eliminate it from the natural environment, but you want to knock it back where it's causing the environment's ecological impacts," said Claridge. Mote Marine Laboratory's President and CEO Dr. Michael Crosby said he didn't doubt what would happen. READ: Trial set to begin for woman whose car went airborne killing passenger "This stuff works and does no greater harm to the environment than the red tide is doing," said Crosby. What's next Mote Marine Laboratory has other products to deploy pending review and approval from the EPA. They're hoping to scale up deployment to an active bloom. "This won't be a success if we can only do a canal or two. We have to be able to really view this a little more as a military operation and being able to attack with deployment of these compounds and methods wherever that red tide is," said Crosby.
