Babington's - the 18th on the Dunluce, where two of our three Champion Golfers have been crowned.

This hole was the 16th when Max Faulkner lifted the claret Jug in 1951, hitting that iconic shot from up against the barbed wire fence.

Students remember more when they write it down on paper. Not type it. Not screenshot it. Write it!

The act of writing slows students down, adds tactile feedback, and helps lock it into memory.

Sweden is committing more than €100 million to a sweeping classroom overhaul: replacing tablets and screens with traditional printed textbooks to help reverse falling student performance and sharpen focus.

After more than a decade of embracing digital-first education, Swedish authorities are now pivoting back to paper-based learning. Official data and recent studies cited by the Ministry of Education show that prolonged screen use in class has been linked to shorter attention spans, weaker reading comprehension, and reduced critical-thinking abilities.

Research consistently finds that reading on illuminated screens requires greater mental effort and invites more distractions compared to the calm, linear experience of physical books—factors believed to have contributed to declining academic outcomes in recent years.

Under the new plan, every student will receive printed textbooks for all core subjects, restoring books as the central learning tool. Digital devices and online resources will remain available as supportive tools, but they will no longer dominate daily instruction.

This bold €100+ million investment signals Sweden’s leadership in rethinking the role of technology in education. It underscores a broader, growing recognition worldwide: while screens provide speed and access, the hands-on, distraction-free engagement of physical books supports deeper concentration, stronger memory retention, and more effective long-term learning.

By choosing paper over pixels, Sweden is charting a path toward a more balanced, evidence-informed classroom future—one that puts proven pedagogical principles ahead of unchecked digital trends.

A brain expert just said what no one wants to hear about screen learning.🤯

@GOLF_com I know this is about @McIlroyRory but I was lucky to be taught by Mr Stevenson. Good people tend to have good humans around them. Mr Stevenson is just that. @DalriadaSchool

Jimmy Carr nails brutal parenting truth in 25 seconds:

"I want to be kind to my kids... but what they want is McDonald's, ice cream, TV, video games.
Downstream? Fat, stupid kids.
Who wants fat, stupid kids? No one.

So you have to be kind to their potential — not their immediate wants.
That means broccoli, homework, walks, exercise.
Boring now.
Kind later."

Short-term pleasure vs. long-term character.
The hardest "no" is often the deepest love.

Where do you draw the line between being "fun" and being truly kind to your kids' future selves?

This is Pommel Horse specialist Stephen Nedoroscik. He didn’t move from his spot for two hours while he simply waited for his one special moment.

He mentioned that he is cross-eyed and that he can inexplicably switch his dominant eye. Before his routine, Nedoroscik removed his glasses. He told "TODAY" that if he kept his glasses on, they would fly off mid-routine.

And now because of him, we won our first medal in gymnastics in 16 years.
