Autosomal recessive
Usher syndrome (USH) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by hearing loss, retinitis pigmentosa and, in some cases, vestibular dysfunction. It is clinically and genetically heterogeneous and is the most common cause of combined deafness and blindness. It has a worldwide prevalence of 3.2/100,000 – 6.2/100,000 1. Clinically, USH is divided into three types as indicated in Table 1.
Usher type I (USH1) - the most severe form
Usher type II (USH2) - moderate to severe form
Usher type III (USH3) – mild to moderate form
Table 1: Overview of Usher syndrome subtypes
MY07A, USH1C, CDH23, PCDH15, USH1G, CIB2 USH2A, ADGRV1, WHRN CLRN1
Profound deafness in both ears from birth Moderate to severe hearing loss from birth Normal at birth; progressive loss in childhood or early teens
Decreased night vision before age 10 Decreased night vision presenting in late childhood/adolescence Varies in severity; night vision problems often begin in teens
Vestibular function
Balance problems from birth Normal Normal to near-normal, chance of later problem
Usher syndrome type I (USH1) is the most severe form, characterized by severe to profound congenital deafness, vestibular areflexia, and prepubertal onset of progressive retinitis pigmentosa (RP). USH1 patients are either born completely deaf or experience hearing impairment within the first year of life and usually do not develop speech. Constant vestibular dysfunction is present from birth; children have delays in motor development and begin sitting independently and walking later than usual. Onset of retinitis pigmentosa occurs during childhood, resulting in a progressively constricted visual field and impaired visual acuity which rapidly proceeds to blindness. Anomalies of light-evoked electrical response of the retina can be detected by electroretinography at 2-3 years of age, which allows for early diagnosis of the disease.
Usher syndrome type I should be suspected in individuals with:
Congenital (i.e., prelingual) profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss
No significant vestibular responses
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP)
Normal general health and intellect; otherwise normal physical examination
A family history consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance.
Six genes associated with Usher syndrome type I so far are: MYO7A, USH1C, CDH23, PCDH15, USH1G, and CIB2 (Table 2).
Usher syndrome type II (USH2) is the most common of the 3 Usher syndromes. Patients with USH2 patients have mild hearing impairment with normal vestibular responses, and retinitis pigmentosa. Hearing loss is congenital but may be detected at later stages when it hinders communication. The degree of hearing impairment in patients diagnosed with USH2 increases from moderate in low frequencies to severe in high frequencies, tending to remain stable.
Usher syndrome type II (USH2) should be suspected in individuals with:
Congenital sensorineural hearing loss that is mild to moderate in the low frequencies and severe to profound in the higher frequencies
Intact vestibular responses
A family history compatible with autosomal recessive inheritance.
Usher syndrome type II is associated with the genes USH2A (accounts for ~80% of all cases), ADGRV (6.6%-19%) and WHRN (<9.5%)10.
Usher syndrome type III is characterized by postlingual, progressive hearing loss, variable vestibular dysfunction, and onset of retinitis pigmentosa symptoms, including nyctalopia, constriction of the visual fields, and loss of central visual acuity, usually by the second decade of life. Usher syndrome type IIIA (USH3A) is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the CLRN1 gene. Usher syndrome type III is the least common clinical type of the syndrome in the general population. However, in some populations, like such as the Finns or the Ashkenazi Jews, thise syndrome accounts for over 40% of USH cases due to the mutation founder effect of c.300T>C (p.Y176X; known as the Finn mayor mutation) and c.143T>C (p.N48K), respectively 1.

CentoMD® exclusive variant numbers (++)
Abbreviations: DFNA-Deafness non-syndromic autosomal dominant; DFNB-Deafness non-syndromic autosomal recessive; USH-Usher syndrome.
The ADGRV1 gene, associated with Usher syndrome type 2C, encodes a large transmembrane protein involved in adhesion and migration processes. Alterations in the ADGRV1 gene account for approximately 6.6%-19% of all Usher syndrome type 2 cases6, 7. More than 100 variants have been reported in the ADGRV1 gene so far, mostly missense mutations (65%) and small deletions (25%)1, 6, 7.
The CDH23 gene, associated with USH1D, encodes protein cadherin 23. Cadherin 23 is a glycosylated transmembrane protein responsible for cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation. Pathogenic variants in CDH23 are responsible for ~7%-20% of all Usher syndrome affected cases 1. At least 150 pathogenic variants have been reported in CDH23. Most of the variants associated with Usher syndrome type ID are null (nonsense, frameshift, splice site) and result in a more severe phenotype than missense variants1. Furthermore, a large deletion resulting in the loss of three exons was also reported in a Japanese patient.
The CIB2 gene, associated with USH1J, encodes calcium- and integrin-binding protein that mediates intracellular calcium signaling. Five missense mutations have been reported so far, including a single base pair pathogenic variant (c.192G>C) identified in 52 out of 54 Pakistani families affected with Usher syndrome1.
The DFNB31 gene, also known as WHRN, is associated with Usher syndrome type 2D. This gene encodes protein whirlin, scaffold protein similar s to harmonin (USH1C). Alterations in DFNB31 are linked to <9.5% of Usher syndrome type 2 affected cases6, 7. Several missense mutations in this gene are also associated with nonsyndromic autosomal recessive hearing loss1.
The MYO7A gene causing which causes Usher syndrome type 1B, encodes a myosin VIIa protein that belongs to a group of myosins. Myosins are ATP-driven motor molecules that move along actin filaments and may be involved with intracellular transport mechanisms. More than 300 pathogenic variants have been reported in the MYO7A gene and thesey are located throughout the gene, although many are clustered in the exons that encode conserved domains of the protein. A relatively high percentage of identified mutations (37%) identified so far are missense variants2. Approximately 53%-63% of patients affected with USH1 are carrying disease-causing variants in the MYO7A gene1, 3. Pathogenic MYO7A variants also cause autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNA11). MYO7A variants associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNB2) have also been reported.
The PCDH15 gene, associated with USH1F, encodes protocadherin 15, a member of cadherine family that regulates cell adhesion, migration and differentiation. Pathogenic variants in this gene are responsible for 7%-12% of Usher syndrome cases1, 8, 9. At least 50 different pathogenic variants have been reported1. Many of the single nucleotide variants are private and null, and there are no mutational hotspots. Deletions/duplications account for 37% of PCDH15 pathogenic variants. The Ashkenazi Jewish founder variant c.733C>T has a carrier frequency in the Jewish population (0.79%-2.48%)9.
Usher syndrome type IIC (USH2C) is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the ADGRV1 gene and it is also caused by biallelic digenic mutations in the ADGRV1 and PDZD7 genes1.
The USH1C gene, associated with USH1C, encodes protein harmonin that which is required for normal cochlear cells development. More than 20 pathogenic variants have now been reported in this gene, with a mutation frequency of 1%-15%1, 4, 5. The first USH1C pathogenic variants identified include the Acadian founder variant c.216G>A, which was shown to create a cryptic splice donor in exon 3 affecting mRNA stability and usage of the normal exon 3 splice donor4. One allele of a polymorphic 45-nucleotide variable number of tandem repeats c.496+59_496+103 present in intron 5 was found to be in complete linkage disequilibrium with the Acadian USH1C founder variant c.216G>A. Outside the Acadian population of Louisiana, the total contribution of USH1C pathogenic variants to the Usher syndrome type I phenotype ranges from 1.65% to 12.5%5. The most common USH1C pathogenic variant observed in persons from other ethnic origins is c.238dupC1. Mutations in the USH1C gene are also associated with infantile hyperinsulinism, enteropathy, and deafness and with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (DFNB18).
The USH1G gene, associated with USH1G, encodes a SANS protein that plays a role in regulating endocytosis-dependent ciliogenesis. At least ten pathogenic variants have been reported, including a 20-nucleotide homozygous deletion (p.Ser278ProfsTer71) found in the original consanguineous Palestinian family1. A second homozygous variant (p.Val132GlyfsTer3), found in a large consanguineous Tunisian family, was important in refining the location of USH1G. Recently a homozygous pathogenic variant (p.Ser243Ter) was found in cochlear-implanted Saudi siblings with cochlear implants, with some atypical retinal findings1.
Currently, there is no treatment for Usher syndrome. The hearing loss can be addressed by the use of hearing aids and cochlear implantation, but the retinal problem remains unsolved. Many clinical trials are currently ongoing with the aim of discovering a new treatment for Usher syndrome.
CENTOGENE offers sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis of the genes in the Usher syndrome panel (ADGRV1, CDH23, CIB2, CLRN1, DFNB31, MYO7A, PCDH15, PDZD7, USH1C, USH1G, USH2A).
The differential diagnosis of Usher syndrome includes the following diseases - depending on the major presenting symptoms:
Nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) associated with mutations in GJB2 and GJB6
Nonsyndromic retinitis pigmentosa, caused by mutations in RHO, PRPF31, RP1, ABCA4, CERKL, CRB1 or other RP-related genes
Deafness-dystonia-optic neuronopathy (DDON), caused by mutations in TIMM8A
Oculo-acoustic syndromes associated with mitochondrial DNA mutations (MIDD, Kearns-Sayre syndrome)
Refsum disease caused by mutations in PHYH or PEX7
Moderate forms of Alström syndrome caused by mutations in ALMS1
Waardenburg syndrome (WS) caused by mutations in PAX3, EDNRB, EDN3, and SOX10
Viral infections, diabetic neuropathy, and syndromes involving mitochondrial defects.
Testing strategy
CENTOGENE offers an advanced, fast and cost-effective strategy to test large NGS panels and diagnose complex phenotypes based on PCR-free whole genome sequencing and NGS technology. This approach offers an unparalleled advantage by reducing amplification/capture biases and providing sequencing of the entire gene with more uniform coverage.
To confirm/establish the diagnosis, CENTOGENE offers the following testing strategy for Usher syndrome using NGS Panel Genomic targeted towards this specific phenotype:
Step 1: Whole genome sequencing from a single filter card. The sequencing covers the entire gene (coding region, exon/intron boundaries, intronic and promoter) for all the genes included in the Usher syndrome panel. Copy Number Variants analysis derived from NGS data is also included.
Step 2: If no clinically relevant variant is identified after analysis of the Usher syndrome panel, we further recommend continuing the bioinformatics analysis of the data using whole genome sequencing to cover those genes which are either implicated in an overlapping phenotype or could be involved in a similar pathway but are not strongly clinically implicated based on the current information in literature.
Referral reasons
The following individuals are candidates for Usher syndrome gene testing:
Individuals with a family history of Usher syndrome and presentation of the most common symptoms, including visual and hearing abnormalities
Individuals without a positive family history, but with symptoms resembling Usher syndrome
Individuals with a negative but suspected family history, in order to perform proper genetic counseling (prenatal analyses are recommended in families with affected individuals).
Test utility
Sequencing, deletion/duplication of genes related to Usher syndrome should be performed in all individuals suspected of having Usher syndrome. In parallel, other genes reported to be related with this clinical phenotype should also be analyzed for the presence of mutations, due to the overlap in many clinical features caused by those particular genes.
Confirmation of a clinical diagnosis through genetic testing can allow for genetic counseling and may direct medical management. Genetic counseling can provide a patient and/or family with the natural history of Usher syndrome, identify at-risk family members, provide information on reproductive risks as well as preconception/prenatal options, and allow for appropriate referral for patient support and/or resources.

The output should be very similar to this : https://codepen.io/pen/?&editable=true

A: Not sure exactly what's causing your error but i think you need to put your am4core.useTheme(am4themes_animated); outside of the class - put it below the imports.
Also i was under the impression you had to use NgZone and run outside angular. They have good documentation here.
https://www.amcharts.com/docs/v4/getting-started/integrations/using-angular2/

A: Here am4plugins_forceDirected was no imported so simply import it.
You can find more information about this from this Git issue https://github.com/amcharts/amcharts4/issues/1473
Use this import
import * as am4plugins_forceDirected
from"@amcharts/amcharts4/plugins/forceDirected";

Copyright: 1999, US
Specifications: 1st, 8vo, pp.206, photo frontis, 84 color & 26 bw photos, 3 maps, black/brown cloth
Condition: signed Jochen Hemmleb & Eric Simonson, dj & cloth new.
Set against the backdrop of the 1924 British Mount Everest Expedition, and historical clues from subsequent expeditions, 'Ghosts of Everest' brings to life the events surrounding the ill-fated Mallory/Irvine climb, while following the 1999 Mallory & Irvine Research Expedition team as it retraced the route up the North Col and made a discovery that rocked the world - George Mallory's body at 27,000 feet. From early preparations to the day-by-day, blow-by-blow events of both expeditions, the narrative weaves through time bringing together past and present to create a seamless adventure narrative that captures the voices and action as it unfolded on the mountain. Meticulously researched and with new evidence and artifacts found on the mountain, this narrative sheds a revealing light on the seventy-five-year-old Mallory/Irvine mystery. Simonson summitted Everest in 1991, led the 1999 and 2001 Mallory & Irvine Research Expeditions, and has climbed all eight of the Seven Summits.

The Main Themes in "Everyday Use" by Walker
Topic: Everyday Use Words: 316 Pages: 1 Dec 3rd, 2022
The themes of family relations, sister rivalry, traditions, heritage, and the struggle for civil rights intertwine in Alice Walker's short story. The narrator is an African-American woman and the mother of two daughters. While this woman shows incredible strength in caring for her family, racial oppression has imprinted her not allowing to defend own opinion (Bell, 2019). Her eldest daughter Dee used this quality of her mother to get everything she wants. Despite her habit of giving in to her daughter, in the new dispute over quilts, the mother was able to fight back.
Visiting her mother and sister, Dee, who changed her name to Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo, unexpectedly for her family begins to admire the things made by their ancestors – the churn and quilts. Following the trend of the 1960s – 1970s, the young woman is trying to return to African culture and acknowledge the legacy. In particular, she believes that her sister Maggie, who is promised quilts, cannot appreciate them and will soon spoil (Walker, 1973). Wangero wants to take them and use them as decoration for her house. While respect for one's roots and especially self-acceptance as a descendant of Africans is fundamental, the way this character manifests them causes doubts of her sincerity and looks repulsive.
The mother is not used to arguing and defending her position, but in reaction to Dee's claims does incredible thing for her and shows firmness. She sees the youngest daughter surrender under the onslaught of her sister and accepts injustice: "This was the way she knew God to work" (Walker, 1973, para. 75). Probably, she sees daughter as herself, how pressure affects the characters of both her and her daughter. As a result, the mother receives an insight into the need to protect Maggie. Thus, seeing in a new light the repetition of her fate, humility before injustice, provokes the unusual actions of the narrator.

Talking Twitter and TV on ABC Radio's Media Report
Last week, reportedly, Twitter spent $100 million buying Bluefin Labs, a media analytics company that claims to be able to provide details semantic analysis of Twitter chatter about TV programs.
I ended up talking about this, and about social TV and other things, with Richard Aedy on ABC Radio's Media Report.
Twitter has just bought a company that trawls social media to find out what people are saying about television programs. Stilgherrian believes Twitter sees itself more and more as a media and analytics company as opposed to a social communication company. So what is Twitter planning to do with information about what people say online about programs they love and hate?
It's nice that Mr Aedy and his producer trust me to go live on National Radio. Yes, I behaved myself.

Louie F. Schneider, Jr.
Louie F. Schneider, Jr. of Fowlerville, Michigan, signed off for duty a final time on May 20, 2019. He was 89 years old.
He was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan on February 24th, 1930 to Louis and Irma (Keller) Schneider. He is survived by his brother Nuel (Ardis) Schneider and sister, Mary Engel. Louie attended University High School and excelled at athletics. A true patriot, he joined the Merchant Marines at age 15 and at 16 served in both the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Guard. On his 18th birthday in 1948, he joined his first love, the United States Marine Corps. Louie served his country faithfully for 21 years, including two tours in the Vietnam War, before retiring as a First Lieutenant in 1968.
On September 6th, 1950, he married Janie Margaret Whitworth. They were blessed with two children, Dean (Sherry) Schneider and Glenda Schneider Vaughn who survive him. They enjoyed a wonderful 33 years together before Janie's passing.
After retiring from the Marine Corps, Louie served as a police officer in Chelsea, Michigan from 1968 to 1971, and as the Chief of Police for the cities of Villa Rica, Dallas, and Lawrenceville, Georgia from 1973 to 1981.
In 1983, Louie married Mary Maloney. They shared 36 years of marriage before Mary's passing early in 2019. He is survived by his stepchildren, Kathleen (Tom) Kane, Susan Brennan, Michael (Tracy) Maloney, Maureen Maloney, Bridget Moore, Patty (Kevin) Opuda, Sharon Robertson and Brian Maloney. He was preceded in death by Danny Maloney and Peggy Maloney.
There is no man that embodied duty and honor like Louie. He lived his life in total dedication to his family, God and country. His charm and grace could only be eclipsed by his ability to break into song or make you laugh. Our lives are forever changed by the man, the myth, the legend.
There is no doubt that you, reader, may have fallen under Louie's spell. He was the beloved patriarch and fearless leader of his two children, ten step-children, and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His booming voice could be heard cheering on every sideline, telling stories at every meal, and still, in these quiet moments, singing "The Halls of Montezuma" in our hearts. He was a living hero, our own tall tale, and the one we will never forget.
Semper Fi, Sir, and farewell. We know that you have taken your place in Heaven, where the streets are guarded by our favorite Marine.
Visitation was held on Thursday, May 23, 2019, 2:00-4:00 pm and 6:00-8:00pm at Herrmann Funeral Home in Fowlerville.

Walter Bradley House
(9/11/1924-5/14/2019)
Walter Bradley House was born on the family farm, 459 Kane Rd, Webberville, MI to Rex & Florence (McIntyre) House, where he continued to reside for most of his adult life. He attended the Havens one-room school at the corner of Kane and Columbia Roads with his 5 sisters, Marianna, Elda, Marge, Carol & Joan until 8th grade. At Fowlerville High School, Walter served as senior class vice president, was a member of the Future Farmers of America, and after a full recovery from rheumatic fever was able to play on the varsity baseball team his senior year.
In June of 1943, Walter enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps, 90th Bomb Group, 321st Bomb Squadron, serving as a radioman on 44 missions over New Guinea and Mindoro Island in the Philippines. Upon coming home after the war, he met his wife of 67 years at a Lake Lansing dance and on August 21, 1948, he married Meredith June McComb at her family home in Webberville MI. Together they raised 4 daughters on the family farm, centennialized in 2000. Soon thereafter, they sold the homestead portion of the farm and built Meredith's dream home on the remaining half, where they resided until her death in 2015.
During the early years, Walter briefly drove a milk truck, trapped muskrats and sold their furs, while running a 30-cow dairy operation in order to achieve ownership of the family farm. He also purchased adjacent acreage during this time from his elderly German farm neighbor, allowing Vern Wilhelm lifetime habitation rights to the home.
A serious bout of pleurisy in the mid-60's then made it inadvisable for Walter to continue the dairy business; the cows and most of the farm machinery were sold at auction and in 1965, Walter began his new career as a foreman for the Livingston County Road Commission, from which he retired in 1985. In addition, Walter earned his real estate license and sold parcels of land to help finance college educations and weddings for his 4 daughters.
In the early years, Walter and Meredith were active members of the Livingston County Farm Bureau, enjoyed dining out on Friday nights with friends and dancing with their Colonial Square Dance Club. As children began to "fly the coop", they started traveling, their journeys taking them throughout the continental US, Hawaii, Spain, Morocco, and Canada. Playing euchre with their empty-nester friends was also a favorite pastime. Walter also enjoyed bowling and morning coffee-klatches with his country comrades. Throughout his life he was a fisherman and an avid hunter of rabbits, pheasants, grouse, and especially deer and spent many happy times at the ramshackle family deer camp in Seney MI.
While he claimed no official membership in Trinity Methodist Church, he was a life-long supporter, periodically
lending his grounds-keeping and carpentry skills. In his retirement years, he developed a love of woodworking; his church, Meredith, children, grandchildren as well as many friends and other relatives have all been the lucky recipients of his beautifully crafted handiwork.
Walter was the last surviving member of his biological generation. Surviving to cherish his memory are 4 daughters: Pamela A. (Lucius) Greve of Bay City MI; Mona J. (Thomas) Jacobs of Alto MI; Donna K. House of Needles CA; & Sandra L. House of East Lansing MI. Also surviving are 6 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren: Ashley (Greve) & Bill Zielinski (GGChild: Joslyn); Hilary (Greve) & John Busch (GGChildren: Drue, Stella; John); Amanda (Jacobs) Prats-Reyes; Benjamin and Stefanie Boros (GGChildren: Dexter, Clark); Kylee (House) and Franjo Kneefel (GGChildren: Bradley, Wesley); Thane House and Sayaka Saito (GGChildren: Anaya, Amelia). Several nieces and nephews also survive.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the staff at Brookdale Assisted Living of Hartland for their 4 years of kind and dedicated care of Walter. Special thanks also to Medilodge of Okemos and Covenant Greater Lansing Hospice.
An 11am funeral service was held this past Saturday, May 18, at Trinity United Methodist Church, 8201 Iosco Rd, Fowlerville MI, with visitation at the church one hour preceding. Internment to Greenwood Cemetery in Fowlerville followed the service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to Trinity United Methodist Church of Fowlerville. Arrangements by Herrmann Funeral Home. Online condolences may be expressed at pjherrmannfuneralhome.com

Antrim Baptist congregation to honor Civil War veteran at May 26 celebration
Antrim Baptist Church is hosting a memorial celebration at Fuller (Conway) Cemetery on Lovejoy Rd across from the church Sunday May 26, at 12:15 PM. Each year the congregation honors one of the veterans that is buried there.
This year they will be honoring George Harris who was a drummer for General Grant in the Civil War. The drummer was always in the front line of the battle, bravely and skillfully using their drum to transfer directions to the infantry. Different beats would give commands to move right, left, forward, about face, etc. George Harris was in the front line of the 26th Michigan Infantry as he watched General Lee and General Grant enter the Wilmer McLean house in Appomattox to sign the terms of surrender.
The church organizers need your help to connect with any of his descendants that you might know. Some of you may remember George Harris' grandson Ike Harris. He was a long-time resident of Fowlerville who at one time managed the Orr Theater in Fowlerville. If you are a descendent or have knowledge of any of them, please pass on this information and/or contact Doug Helzerman (517 375 4869), Dave Roddy (517 749 3410) or the church (517 223 3126) so they can reach out directly to them.

Joseph Benjamin Smith
(November 19, 1933 – April 29, 2019)
Joseph Smith reunited with his wife of 62 years, Shirley, on April 29th. Joe was a man of honor and principle, but still tried to be tolerant to differences. He valued honesty, but tried to have patience with those who were not. He believed in service to God and to his Country, but could love someone even when their beliefs did not align. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who taught his family how to love and respect others.
Perhaps Joe's greatest legacy is the lifetime of memories, love, and values that he has left with his family—daughters: Carolyn Woods (Ken), Barbara Rocco (Gregg), and Tracey Smith, his 11 grandchildren, and many great-grandchildren.
Joe was preceded in death by his wife, Shirley Smith; son, Joseph Smith; and great-grandson, Brody Rocco.
He was born in Tennessee and moved to Detroit, Michigan when he was 17; later enlisting in the Army, and stationed in Germany. Once home and retired from the Army, he and Shirley married in 1956 and he took a job as a Rigger, moving large structures and buildings throughout the city of Detroit.
Shirley and Joe raised their children in Detroit; however, his love for wide open spaces never waned, and he and Shirley retired to Byron, MI in the early 1990's. In addition to farming his land, he enjoyed Bible study, hosting family parties, fishing, westerns, and Detroit sports. Joe will be deeply missed by his friends and family.
Visitation was held Friday, May 3, from 2:00 - 8:00 p.m. at Herrmann Funeral Home. A private family graveside was taking place on Saturday, May 4, at 1:00 p.m. at Woodmere Cemetery in Detroit. Online condolences may be expressed at pjherrmannfuneralhome.com

Our Yorkshire Farms Amanda Owen opens up on unusual new role without children
Lorraine: Amanda Owen reveals its unusual not working with her kids
Amanda Owen joins Channel 5's Live: Winter on the Farm on Monday as the Our Yorkshire Farm star tries wild water swimming. However, during an interview with Lorraine Kelly, the mother-of-nine admitted filming the scenes was "unusual" as she did so without her brood and husband Clive Owen.
Lorraine began: "There is something magical about wild water swimming."
"Absolutely," Amanda replied. "It's about surroundings, it's invigorating, it feels like it livens up the senses, it's also testing your own willpower."
"Yes your endurance and that's a good thing," the ITV host continued.
"How was it being on this programme on your own without the rest of the family?"

"There you are, you got a bit of me-time," Lorraine quipped.
Amanda answered: "It was certainly unusual but that is what wild water swimming is about.
"It is about mindfulness, it is about taking a moment, it's about calm.
"When we go wild water swimming – it's been rebranded it's just swimming at the end of the day – you have no other option in Yorkshire other than to do cold-water swimming because it's always cold.
"Usually it's me and the children in the river or in the waterfalls, it's all we've ever known."
"It's become fashionable," Amanda added and Lorraine quipped: "You've been doing it for years and years.
"It's great for your mental health it just makes you feel better and as you said that, peace and quiet because you mustn't get that much of that."
Amanda replied: "No but it's kind of a bit of a split, when you're out amongst the sheep and doing my work I have plenty of headspace.

"But of course when I've got the brood and the everything going on it's very busy."
Lorraine asked how the family were managing after battle Storm Arwen.
Amanda said: "We are okay because we're all here it has its high points and its low points.
"We've been plunged into darkness and sub-zero temperatures."

"I think the high point was when tea was actually fried eggs and Champagne.
"The [low point] being plunged into darkness, sub zero temperatures."
Storm Arwen caused chaos in Yorkshire last week and the area has continued to be battled by heavy winds, rain and snow.
Lorraine airs on ITV on weekdays at 9am. Live: Winter on the Farm continues on Channel 5 on Monday at 8pm.

when electric rhymes with sports
With the New Abarth 500e, the Scorpion brand officially enters the electric era. The first city car that does not neglect the performance and sporty spirit of the Abarth brand.
It has been electrified since 1949
With 73 years of know-how, Abarth is known for making ordinary extraordinary. It is through agile, high-performance and powerful cars, but above all small and aggressive, its emblem, like a scorpion.
Abarth has once again taken on a new challenge by bringing forth the New Abarth 500e, a strengthened version of the New Fiat 500, a real answer to the energy transition without denying the history and winning DNA of the Scorpion brand. That's why the new Abarth 500e is designed to make power switching and electric driving more fun, thanks to its sporty looks and powerful engine that makes its thermal equivalents the envy of its counterparts.
0 to 100 km/h in 7 seconds
More dynamic than its attractive counterpart, the New Fiat 500, the New Abarth 500e promises to deliver great sensations. 7 seconds: that's the time it takes you to go from 0 to 100 km/h behind the wheel of an electric sports city car! With an engine of 154 hp (113.7 kW) and a torque of 235 Nm, it even manages to surpass its thermal counterpart, the Abarth 695. 50% faster at 20-40 km/h acceleration, this New Abarth electric motor achieves this. 60-100 km/h with one second ahead.
Who said electric driving can't be fun?
DISCOVER THE NEW ABARTH 500e
Design for performance
New Abarth 500e Scorpionissima In addition to its unique style that reflects the elegance of the New Fiat 500 and evokes the world of motor racing, the New Abarth 500e Scorpionissima benefits from an optimized technical configuration at the chassis level, where it is based in particular on the MacPherson suspension with front anti-interference. – roll bar. Braking-wise, it packs 281mm discs at the front and 278mm discs at the rear, while its cousin from Fiat makes do with drum brakes.
Behind the wheel of the New Abarth 500e, drivers will be able to choose between three driving modes, two of which focus on sport. While mode Scorpion Street offers a balance between performance and power saving mode Scorpion Track will allow him to use the full power of the 154 hp electric unit.
Resolutely sporty, the New Abarth 500e also knows how to be smart. A mode that limits power to 100 kW and torque to 220 Nm tourism prefers autonomy. Added to this is the 'One Pedal' function which, together with Turismo or Scorpion Street modes, maximizes the effect of regenerative braking, thus offering an emotional ride without the use of the brake pedal.
2.0 exhaust
The new Abarth 500e does not ignore the unique and historical voice of the brand. Equipped with the new 2.0 sound generator, the electric sports car can reproduce the iconic roar of Abarth exhaust pipes inside and outside the cabin. One thing is certain: you will not be left out!
Those who want to operate in stealth mode can continue to drive silently by turning off the system when the car is stationary.
Make the energy transition fun
Electricity is free! If electric mobility was once seen as punishing, Abarth has succeeded in the bold bet of an ecological transition that denies neither emotion nor driving pleasure.
Rebellion with Abarth!
Ready to go electric in Performance or Sport mode? Pre-order now the exclusive New Abarth 500e Scorpionissima edition, with 1,949 units produced, to know when orders officially open, scheduled for February, and be among the first to get one.

4 Charged in Rape of LSU Student Later Struck and Killed by Car
Authorities have arrested three men and a boy on charges related to the rape of a Louisiana State University student who was later struck by a car and killed earlier this month.
Madison Brooks, a 19-year-old sophomore had been out drinking at Reggie's Bar near the LSU campus on January 15. She asked Kaivon Washington, 18; Everette Lee, 28; Casen Carver, 18; and the 17-year-old for a ride home because, she reportedly told them, she was too drunk and couldn't find her friends, The Advocate reported.
Washington and the minor reportedly raped Brooks in the back seat of the car after they left, with Lee and Carver in the front seat. Then, because Brooks was unable to tell them where she lived, they dropped her off in a subdivision near where she was later hit by a car driven by a ride-share driver. She died at a hospital.
An autopsy revealed that Brooks' blood alcohol level was nearly four times the legal limit, and all four of the suspects had been drinking at the bar. Only the 28-year-old Lee, however, was drinking legally, as the drinking age is 21.

Washington and the 17-year-old have been charged with third-degree rape, which Louisiana law says involves a victim who is "incapable of resisting or of understanding the nature of the act by reason of a stupor or abnormal condition of mind produced by an intoxicating agent or any cause and the offender knew or should have known of the victim's incapacity." Carver and Lee have been charged with principle to rape, which means they were present but did not take part and did nothing to stop it, WAFB reported.
According to Washington's arrest warrant, Carver told deputies that Brooks was "very unstable on her feet, was not able to keep her balance, and was unable to speak clearly without slurring her words" when the group left the bar. He reportedly told investigators Brooks consented to sex with his two friends but believed she was too drunk to consent and that he "hated it." Yet he sat in the front seat and did nothing more than to ask the two rapists to stop.
Carver's defense attorney said in a statement that his client didn't commit a crime.
"This was tragedy, but not crime," Joe Long said. "When all the evidence is known, everyone will see this was not a crime."
Ronald Haley, an attorney representing Washington and Lee, used almost identical language and went even further, claiming that Brooks "absolutely" consented to sex.
"Absolutely not a rape. Listen this is a tragedy, definitely not a crime," said Haley, who also said that one of the four suspects uploaded a video of Brooks that proves his point.
"Can you tell, that she was intoxicated, yes. To the point under the law that you say you're in a drunken stupor, to the point that you cannot lawfully give consent or answer questions, absolutely that was not the case," he said.
LSU President William F. Tate IV said in a statement that what happened to Brooks "was evil" and that the university, which frequently appears on lists of top "party schools" in the United States, would "take action."
"Our action plan starts with a deep and relentless focus on any establishment that profits off our students by providing alcohol to underage individuals. In the coming days, we will call a meeting with these business owners to discuss how their responsibilities directly impact the safety of our students. We will work openly against any business that doesn't join us in efforts toward creating a safer environment for our students. Enough is enough."
Tate also called on Baton Rouge business leaders and residents "to work together and join us in this effort."
